The present invention relates to communications networks.
Networks providing for the transport of encoded signals on communications links are well known. Examples are packet switching networks, voice and/or data switches, local area networks (LANS) and metropolitan area networks (MANS). The links may be ring- or bus-based and may be adapted to carry speech and/or data. Such networks allow a number of stations or nodes to communicate with each other by way of signal carrying links.
One example of such a network is an integrated switch for carrying voice and other time sensitive signals as well as data. The present applicants' European Patent Application No 85305017.7 describes a ring based network which may be adapted for switching or for use as a LAN.
For public switching applications, propagation delays must be kept short. CCITT Recommendation Q507, for example, states that the mean digital-to-digital one way propagation delay for a digital main network exchange should be 0.45 milliseconds. In the network described in the European application mentioned above, packets are assembled and placed on a ring. Each packet has a 128 bit information field. For 64 kbit/sec speech, the packet assembly time is therefore 2 milliseconds, which is unacceptably long.
There have been proposals to reduce packet assembly time by creating composite packets: see for example "Tymnet--a terminal oriented communication network", L. R. Tymes, Proc NCC Vol 38(1971), pages 211-216 and "Performance considerations for integrated voice and data networks", J. Gruber, Computer Communications, vol 4, no 3, June 1981, pages 106-126. Instead of being devoted to a single user message, the information field of a packet is shared by and number of users. For example, if sixteen 64 kbit/sec voice connections were each to provide an octet of information, packets would take 125 microseconds to assemble, which is an acceptable delay. In addition to reducing the packetisation delay, the voice load is spread more evenly over each 2 millisecond interval than when each voice connection occupies a dedicated packet. Consequently, the maximum time which may be spent waiting for access to the communications link is reduced.
In the system described by Gruber, a composite packet is assembled at an entrance node from waiting data from terminals associated with that node. The composite packet is then forwarded to an exit node, where the packet is disassembled and the data distributed to destination terminals associated with the exit node.
In such a system, if relatively few terminals at an entrance node have data for terminals at an exit node, then partly filled packets would be transmitted between the two nodes, with lower efficiency.
Another proposal for an integrated circuit/packet switching system is disclosed is U.S. Pat. No. 4,569,041 (Takeuchi et al), wherein each node includes a packet assembly/disassembly function and is arranged to assemble composite packets for respective single destination nodes. This system is similar to Gruber and results in low efficiency in use of loop bandwidth where few terminals want to communicate with terminals on a single node.
The present invention aims to provide a system which can have advantages in terms of efficiency or reduced delays over prior art systems.
The invention provides a communications network comprising interconnected nodes associated with one or more packet assembler and disassemblers (PAD). Composite packets created at nodes can contain information for several destination nodes. These packets are disassembled by the said PADs and the information re-assembled into packets containing information for a single destination node.
Thus it is possible for composite packets to contain information for several destination nodes initially, so that packets can be efficiently filled. The packets are subsequently disassembled and the information reassembled into new composite packets containing information from several nodes, all having the same destination node.
More particularly, the present invention provides a communications network comprising a plurality of nodes adapted to transmit and receive packets of information and at least one packet assembler and disassembler, wherein said nodes are adapted to assemble composite packets comprising information for calls for one or more destination nodes and to send the packets via the network to a packet assembler and disassembler for disassembly of the composite packets without requiring packets to be disassembled in any fixed order, reassembly of information into composite packets of information for a single node, and to release those packets for transmission over the network to their destination nodes.
Suitable restrictions may be placed on each node's right to transmit packets so that all nodes have the opportunity to transmit within an acceptable maximum period.
In one form of the invention, each composite packet comprising information for more than one destination node has a packet identifier and information for a call is assembled in a sequence of packets all having the same identifier and at the same location in each packet in the sequence and the packet assembler and disassembler processes packets according to their identifiers, the information in packets being handled according to its location in the packets.
The invention provides a method of transmitting information between interconnected nodes in a communications network, comprising assembling at a node composite packets of information for calls for one or more nodes and sending the packets to a packet assembler and disassembler, over a network which may variably delay each packet, disassembling the information and reassembling in composite packets of information for a single node, and transmitting those packets via the network to their destination nodes.
In a further aspect, the invention provides a packet assembler and disassembler for processing packets of information transmitted from nodes in a communications network, comprising input means for receiving packets transmitted over the network, said packets each containing information for calls for one or more destination nodes, disassembly means for disassembling the packets not in any fixed order, re-assembly means for re-assembling the information into packets containing information for a single destination node and output means for releasing packets for transmission via the network to their respective destination node.
It is to be understood that the invention also encompasses all individual features and combinations of features which are illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification, as well as those specifically mentioned above or claimed in the accompanying claims. Any feature described or illustrated may be present independently or combined with one or more other feature disclosed.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows possible dedicated and composite packet structures;
FIG. 2 is a view of a communications system according to one embodiment of the invention;
FIGS. 3 to 5 show details of the packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) of the system of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 6 indicates the operation of the PAD.
FIG. 1 illustrates three possible packet structures. Each packet has a header 11 and an informaton or data field 13. The header, in all cases, comprises an access control field 15, a destination address portion 17 and a connection number portion 19. FIG. 1(a) shows a dedicated packet in which the data field 13 is devoted to a single call (e.g. data, speech, low bit rate video). For 64 kbit/sec speech, such a packet having a 128 bit field would take 2 milliseconds to assemble. On the other hand, services with a bit rate of 0.5 Mbit/sec would have a packet assembly time of 0.25 milliseconds. FIG. 1(b) shows a homogeneous composite packet where the information field is shared by 16 users all of the same service type. In this case there are sixteen 64 kbit/sec voice connections for several different destination devices each of which is allocated one octet. Packet assembly time is 125 microseconds. FIG. 1(c) shows a heterogeneous composite packet which carries a mix of different services, for example a mixture of speech and low bit-rate video, with the video connection occupying a number of octets, which need not be consecutive. Again, the packet assembly time is short, for example 125 microseconds.
Referring to FIG. 2, a communications network according to the invention comprises a number of stations or nodes 21 designated A to M which can communicate via a transmission ring or loop 23. Nodes 21 may incorporate many forms of digital based devices such as data processing equipment, video devices, facsimile or telephone equipment and each node may concentrate traffic from several devices. Also, one or more nodes may have access to the public switched telephone network.
The loop is designed to operate according to a slotted ring protocol. One or more slots, each having the same number of bits, circulate around the ring and can be seized by a node which has information to transmit. The ring carries a fixed integer number of slots which are established at switch on and maintained continuously by one node which acts as monitor. The monitor function can be transferred to another node in case of failure.
The embodiment to be described may conveniently use the protocol which is described in European Patent Application No 85305017.7. For detailed information, the reader is referred to that specification, or to "Carrying Integrated Services on the Orwell Slotted Ring" R. M. Falconer and J. L. Adams, Proceedings of the International Seminar on Computer Networking and Performance Evaluation, Tokyo, September 1985. Alternatively different protocols may be used where restrictions are placed on nodes so that they can transmit within fixed maximum delay periods. Briefly, the protocol in the above mentioned application operates such that when a node wishes to transmit data, it is permitted to seize up to a total of d empty packets (which need not be successive) and when it has used that number d it is automatically placed in a state, known as a pause state, in which it is not permitted to seize further packets. The node is only allowed to seize further packets after it has been reset to an active state. If other nodes are waiting to transmit, a reset of the original node cannot take place until the other stations have had an opportunity of using up their d allocations. Each node gets the opportunity to transmit data within a preset maximum period, so that delays are limited.
As shown in FIG. 2, two nodes A and B provide access to a packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) 25. Composite packets as shown in FIG. 1(b) and 1(c) have information for several calls for devices which may be associated with different destination nodes. These packets are sent over the ring 23 from a source node, e.g. node E, to PAD 25 where the information is reassembled into new composite packets which contain information for a common destination node. Thus, composite packets have an initial address of node A or node B allowing the packets to be filled quickly and efficiently, and during the first stage of switching traffic is concentrated towards PAD 25. Following rearrangement at PAD 25, a second link over the ring is required for the newly constituted composite packets with information from several source nodes addressed to a common destination node.
Each node constructs its own packets, addressed to a single destination node. For speech services it will generally be necessary to form composite packets in order to reduce the packetisation delay, as explained above, so that delay requirements can be met. Some local voice services not on the PSTN (e.g. LAN services) may not have such stringent delay requirements and therefore dedicated packets may be sent directly from source to destination node without being switched via PAD 25. Also, services with high bit rates can assemble packets rapidly. For example a 0.5 Mbit/sec service would have a packet assembly time of 0.25 milliseconds and for a single link connection over a ring with a maximum access delay of 0.25 milliseconds the total delay is a maximum of 0.5 milliseconds. These services may therefore also use dedicated packets.
Thus, the ring carries a mixed load of composite and dedicated packets. Composite packets must be addressed initially to one of the access nodes A, B to PAD 25.
Each of the access nodes A, B on the ring 23 includes an access node controller 35. The controllers hold look-up tables listing the connections made via each node, and the tables are updated as each new connection is established. The controllers 35 are also able to assign free channels and, whenever necessary, assign a new connection number, i.e. provide for creation of a new packet sequence. In this example, each access node A,B serves specific source nodes; for example node A may serve nodes F, G and H, and node B may serve nodes C, D and E. In case of failure of one of the access nodes or if one node becomes overloaded, load may be shifted from one node to the other. If a new call from node E, to be switched via PAD 25, is to be set up, that call must be assigned a channel (i.e. a slot or octet or a number of slots or octets) in a sequence of composite packets all having the same identifying connection number. If for a particular connection number the packets generated at node E have a free channel, then the new call can be assigned that channel, and a data message is sent to the access node B giving details of the modified packet, together with the channel identity as described below. However, if all channels on existing composite packets originated by the source node E are fully utilised, a new composite packet must be created. In this case a message is sent by node E to access node B requesting a free connection number for a further composite packet sequence. Provided a free connection number exists in tables held by node B, then a connection number is returned by node B to node E, and at the same time node B updates PAD 25 to accept packets having that identifying connection number. This is described in more detail below. The allocated connection number is carried in portion 19 of the header 11 of the packet from node E and all subsequent related composite packets. Related packets are those handling information on the same set of calls or, as some of those calls are cleared down and new ones are established, on updated sets of calls. Source node E uses the connection number in order to update access node B and PAD 25 with fresh information on the contents of the packet. Thus, on receipt of a new call arrival an appropriate number of octets will be reserved in the information field to accommodate the required bit rate. The position of these octets in the information field will remain fixed for the duration of the call. There is thus effectively an addressing scheme where each user's data are identified by their relative locations in packets of given connection numbers and access node addresses. For a new call, a message is sent to access node B informing it of the destination node for the call, the call itself being identified by the access node address and the connection number of the packet together with the call's position in the information field.
Having established the channel which carries the call to the input side of PAD 25, a free channel must be found on the exit side going to the required destination node. If there is a free channel in an existing sequence of packets which is addressed to the required destination node then that free channel is assigned by the access node to the call. A message is then sent by the access node to the destination node identifying the location of the octets for the new call, i.e. the connection number of the packet sequence and the channel. PAD 25 is also updated with this information as described below. If, on tables held by the appropriate access node, there is no free channel, then a free connection number must be assigned by the access node to establish a new composite packet sequence, and again PAD 25 must be updated with this new connection number as will become clear later. A channel is assigned to the call and a message sent from the access node to the destination node identifying the octets for the new call by connection number and channel.
The access software thus maintains records of all used channels on the entry side of PAD 25 and their associated exit channels, and also of all free channels. Since each access node (A,B) handles data for specific nodes each access node will hold the complete records for any given node.
Once free entry and exit channels have been established and their identities communicated to the calling and called nodes and the PAD, composite packets may be sent to the PAD 25, re-structured and packets sent to the correct destination nodes as explained below.
The structure of PAD 25 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 6. Referring to FIG. 3, PAD 25 has a number of parallel input lines 31 and output lines 33, and links 38 with access node controllers 35 (only one of which is shown). Each of the input lines is dedicated to handling composite packets within a specified set of connection numbers. One of the characteristics of the network is that packets gain access onto the ring within a maximum period, which in this example is 125 microseconds. Since access is guaranteed only to be within a maximum period, the order in which packets arrive on the input lines is variable. Packets are handled not according to their order of arrival but to their connection number.
FIG. 4 shows some details of the structure of PAD 25. Each input line 31 delivers packets to a respective input buffer 37 which can store a number of packets on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis.
Processing of the packets is carried out in two stages because several packets are processed in parallel and the necessary resources may not be available immediately.
In the first stage, packets are disassembled into `updates` by disassembly logic (DAS) 39 and held in update buffers 41. An `update` contains an address field and a data field (the latter being a single octet of information). In the second stage, the address information of the updates is used by assembly logic (AS) 45 to load output buffers 47 with the data field of the updates. Each output buffer 47 handles one or more assigned connection numbers at a time.
The first stage is initiated by DAS 39 loading an arriving packet's connection number into a counter in destination store 43. The store 43 holds the destination address for each octet which is contained in the packet identified by the connection number handled by input line 31 connected to that store. The packet is handled octet by octet. The output address (in output buffers 47) for the first octet is accessed by store 43 in accordance with the connection number and this address is loaded into update buffer 41. The DAS 39 then transfers the first octet to the update buffer. Then, after incrementing the counter of store 43, the output address for the next octet is sent to buffer 41 and the DAS transfers the octet to the buffer. This procedure is repeated until disassembly of the packet is complete and the octets are held with their respective output addresses in the update buffer 41.
While the octets are being transferred from the input buffer 37, the PAD software held on the access nodes is given write access to the destination store 43. For each new connection and for each call completion the access software updates the store with the appropriate address information.
As shown in FIG. 5, the update buffers 41 are, in this example, partitioned into three blocks 51 so that a preliminary sort of updates may be made in accordance with the output addreses from DAS 39. PAD 25 is constructed in three corresponding blocks 52. Each output buffer 47 holds packets with connection numbers assigned to that buffer and each block 51 holds octets for a specific pair of output buffers. Each update buffer 41 has three blocks 51, so each block 51 holds octets for the output buffers 47 in the corresponding block 52 of PAD 25.
The re-assembly of packets is conducted under the control of AS 45. As shown in FIG. 5, the first block 51 of the top update buffer 41 is connected via address/data buses to two latches 53 each connected to a different AS 45 and a corresponding output buffer 47 in the upper block 52 of PAD 25. The first block 51 of the second update buffer is similarly connected to a second pair of latches 53 and thence to the two AS's 45 and output buffers 47 in the upper block 52 of the PAD. The connections shown for the upper blocks of buffers 41 and the upper block of PAD 25 are repeated for the other blocks of buffers in the PAD, so that each block 51 of an update buffer 41 is connected to two latches 53, two ASs 45 and two buffers 47 in the corresponding block 52 of the PAD.
Latches 53 are loaded with updates from their update buffer blocks 51 under the control of the associated AS 45. Each AS 45 controls two latches, each served by three update buffer blocks 52 and it polls the latches looking for a valid address for its particular output buffer 47. If it finds a valid address it loads the buffer 47 with the update. The latch is then placed in input mode so that a new update can be loaded.
Since each update is loaded into two latches, once a valid address has been loaded into the appropriate buffer 47 from one latch, the other latch of the pair (associated with the second AS in the block) holds redundant information; both latches therefore need to be loaded with a new update. The AS which has performed the loading of buffer 47 places both latches in input mode to receive the next update from buffers 41. It will be noted that this arrangement allows for parallel processing of updates. Packets are assembled in the output buffers and a clock signal every 125 microseconds allows for release of one complete packet on each output line 33 every 125 microsecond period.
A source node can assemble a composite packet ready for transmission to one of the access nodes A, B every 125 microseconds. FIG. 6 illustrates the position at a given source node, where packets are ready at regular 125 microsecond intervals, but have to wait a variable period of up to 125 microseconds to gain access. PAD 25 has to be able to handle varying delays, and send packets out every 125 microseconds on receipt of a clock pulse.
In order to handle the spread of arrival times, each output buffer 47 is divided into two RAM areas, and each of these is further subdivided into two zones, one labelled `early` and the other `late`. When a new input packet sequence is set up the address location in the destination store 43 is automatically set on receipt of the first arriving packet to send updates for a particular outgoing packet to the `early` zone on one of the two sides of the appropriate output buffer. The corresponding `early` zone of the other side of that buffer will have `read only` access until the next clock pulse. During this time packets which have been built in this area are released onto the ring.
The address location in the destination store 43 points to one of the four areas during disassembly of a packet, so octets are loaded into that area. After disassembly has been completed, the pointers in destination store 43 are automatically moved to point to the next area, i.e. they point in turn to each of the two zones on one side followed by each of the two zones on the other side. On receipt of the release clock pulse any pointer left pointing to the `read only` area is automatically moved to point to the `late` zone to be read after the next clock pulse. This ensures that missing packets do not cause octets to be lost in subsequent packets of the same sequence. On receipt of each clock pulse (occurring at regular 125 microsecond intervals), the designation of the two zones on each side is reversed, the `early` zone becoming `late`. The new `late` zone can continue to accept octets which may have been delayed during the next 125 microseconds until the next clock pulse, when this zone then has `read only` access and packets are released onto the ring. Octets from packets which arrive `early` are asembled in `early` zones and so are delayed at least 125 microseconds before being released after the zone has been converted to `late`. Thus octets are reassembled in `early` or `late` packets as appropriate, to be released from the output buffer after an interval t (see FIG. 6) after the instant the corresponding composite packet was ready for release from the source node. Note that t will be between 125 and 250 microseconds, and since it exceeds the maximum time a packet takes to gain access to the ring, variations in the arrival times of different packets supplying octets for reassembly are absorbed.
The system described above has a number of advantages. As already pointed out, it can be used for public-switching of voice signals, as short delay limits can be achieved. Voice services only may be switched or alternatively a range of integrated services including data where the connection is typically as long as for voice. The system is flexible as new services can be added easily. As the network is extended and the number of nodes increased, the network may be serviced by one or more PADs, or PADs may be expanded. On a very small scale, a PAD may have a single input buffer and a single output buffer, but this number can be increased as necessary, adding an appropriate number of blocks.
A large trunk exchange typically handles 20,000 bothway erlangs, i.e. over 2,500 packets each servicing sixteen 64 kbit/sec speech channels are handled every 125 microseconds (the exact load depends on the efficiency with which packets are used). For such a large load, efficient use of packets can still be achieved using more than one PAD.
In large prior art networks where there may be, say, 50 nodes all having information to send to one another, a maximum of 50�49 packets could be required. Most of the packets would be very inefficiently used. In a similar system incorporating the present invention as described in the above embodiment, the 50 nodes might each need to issue only one packet, since each packet can contain data for several destination nodes. In addition, stringent delay requirements can be met; in the above example, delays in transferring an octet from a source node to a destination node would generally be less than about 500 microseconds.
In addition to nodes for handling standard packets of information, there may be specialised nodes for handling time division multiplexed pulse code modulated (PCM) signals. Such a node may have assess to a ring, for example, in a similar manner to other nodes. PCM signals received (for example from an exchange) are timed by the node into packets comprising a header with a connection number and a number of octets, suitably sixteen. Digital line termination equipment of standard form would also be required. Thus packets of information containing PCM signals can be handled by the PAD, and reassembled packets containing PCM data transmitted to appropriate nodes. Similarly, packets containing data for the PCM node have the header removed and the sixteen octets inserted in an outgoing PCM signal.

Today I assisted to two tech. talks. One of them was our "Reading Group" session at lunch and the second one was the Python meetup tonight.
I'm trying to organize at work, every two weeks during lunch time, a session where engineers can discuss about an article, tool, or paper they find interesting. Today we were a very small group (only 4 peoples), and we talked about two tools that Masa wanted to explore: Kage and HTTP Archive.
We talked about Kage first (kah-geh means "shadow" in Japanese). Masa started to explain what was the goal of the tool and how it works. Basically, it's a proxy that will send your HTTP request to your production and stage environment. The basic example show how easy it is to write a simple proxy with a few rules to dispatch only your GET request to your two environments, and then compare the payload returned.
It's using em-proxy which is a DSL to write proxy for EventMachine. We then discussed where we could use it in our architecture and what benefit we could get from it, but for now we don't have any plan to use it.
Then the second thing we talked about what HAR. You can find more detailed information on Ilya's blog and on this gist. To summarize, HAR is an HTTP archive format. When you use the developers tools in Chrome, you can see the request and their response time, but you can also save this information in the HAR format.
There's a few tools then to analyse this data, like YSlow, or browse them with the HARviewer. Another interesting thing is that you don't have to use a browser to get them, you can use Phantomjs. Masa and Kyle talked about it and if they could use that with Nagios, or with Jenkins to measure the response time.
The last talk of the day was the SF Python Meetup after a 4 or 5 months break, at the Yelp headquarter. We were supposed to have some lightning talks to start, but we only had one, from someone who think that "lightning talk" means "publicity for Google and ho by the way, we're hiring" (yeah like no one in the room knew that ...).
Then David Schachter presented How to Speed Up A Python Program 114,000 times. He showed us how he improved the performance of a script by 114,000 times. I will start by saying the talk was interesting and that David was an entertaining speaker. He went through some optimization he used, like using multiprocessing modules, cython, and some more difficult optimization he was not able to get from cython (like the permuted vector code).
He had a very strong opinion about cluster and I really disagree with him. One of his complains was that cluster are hard, are young, and we don't have any tools, so we should not use them. But we've been using cluster in universities and laboratories for years now. Even if the tools are still not very great, they exist, and they work. And more importantly to me, the fact that he spend 12 weeks on optimizing his program, and doing stuff that I would not be able to do, he proved that optimizing is also very hard, and that doesn't seem easier to me that using a cluster.
All in all, that was a good day, and I learned new things. Now I need to find a subject for our next reading group session.

The Kimberley Kid's Kidney Koncept (steal this)
Not sure if I came up with this, but I like to think I did. Happy to hear if I'm wrong – just hit reply and issue a digital reprimand.
(Incidentally, I got reprimanded by email the other day. Somebody I'd never met told me I looked like a Hitler Youth in my headshot. Nice.)
So here's the situation:
You've got to fill a room.
The continued success of your business depends on you giving an educational seminar to a group of prospects. You then get the opportunity to upsell them.
Or you've got to fill a webinar.
Or you've got to make a couple of sales.
Or whatever.
The point is you have to do something that means your business – and your bank account – will survive another day.
But you don't manage.
You don't fill the room. You don't book out the webinar. You don't make the sales.
Despite what you call your "best efforts".
And you say "I don't know what I could have done differently. I did literally everything I could."
Because a couple of weeks later, you hear that your kid needs a new kidney.

We never actually met Massimo as he was in the hospital when we arrived. However, we did meet his lovely daughter, Matilda, who went out of her way to be hospitable and paid our parking ticket for us. The accommodations are lovely (with real linen bedding... wonderful linen bedding) even though the room is part of an apartment with no private entrance and you had to walk into the hall to get to the bathroom. Since Massimo was in the hospital we had the place entirely to ourselves. Nice grounds, nicely appointed.
The listing was accurate and we enjoyed our stay. The room was absolutely lovely. We also took a cooking lesson with Massimo, which not only taught us some tricks, but also resulted in the best pasta and tiramisu we had during our whole trip! The only drawback is that you don't have access to the grounds, so if you are imagining relaxing outside, this may not be the spot for you. We also let Massimo know that we were interested in renting bikes. He took care of everything for us and the bikes were waiting upon our arrival. I would highly recommend this spot!
English review at the bottom Massimo è stato molto gentile e accogliente, rapido nelle comunicazioni e anche disponibile a modificare l'orario di check in per venirci incontro. Ha preparato una splendida colazione con pane fatto personalmente da lui e ci ha dato ottimi consigli su cosa viaggiare in città. La casa è perfetta e pulitissima, ogni dettaglio molto curato e piacevole. Un commento a parte merita la location: Castell'Arienti e la casa sono a 15 minuti di auto dal centro di Bologna in una posizione PARADISIACA, la vista è impareggiabile e molto al di sopra di qualsiasi aspettativa possiate avere. A perfect guest in a heavenly placed house! Very clean apartment, you'll need a car to get to the city center but you won't regret your choice: I've rarely seen such a panoramic place! Massimo is very kind and will give you great advice on what to see in Bologna. Try this place!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Massimo's charming, beautiful and comfortable home in the grassy hillside just a short drive from the city center of Bologna. Out of our entire trip this was one of the most memorable experiences. Massimo is a wonderful host. He makes you feel at ease in his home, he gives you a respectful amount of privacy but is equally engaging and very hospitable. He offered to cook dinner for us the first night (and extra 15 euro and worth every bit of it!) and it was so delicious that we let him cook for us the 2nd night as well. Also, he let us help him prepare dinner the 2nd night and gave us a mini cooking lesson (we made homemade pasta!). Everything is extremely clean. There is a really cute cat indoors but she doesn't enter the guest room area. I have bad cat allergies and I had no trouble whatsoever! The bathroom is large and clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on - really! All in all, Massimo is the perfect host and if you get the opportunity to visit you should. *Make sure you ask Massimo to give you directions or take you to the best gelato place in Bologna! Nothing in Italy compares!
WAW! I'm awe by this wonderful review! This encourages me to do even better! Thank you to your kindness, and I hope to have you another time at home! Greetings to John, your gently husband!
We had a lovely two-nights stay at Massimo's. We really enjoyed his food and care for his guests. If you need something, you just have to tell him and he will help. I have to say that the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The facilities are just great.
Massimo was a very welcoming and attentive host. He cooked supper at late notice and showed us the way into Bologna the following day. The building is beautiful. We would recommend staying with Massimo.
Though like many places in Italy it was a little hard to find. I may have missed the fact that the house was high on the hills. When you stay at any place the important thing is a good bed, hot shower and good location. Massimo's place was excellent in all three categories. When you add his fantastic cooking and friendly and helpful knowledge of the area and local wines, this place becomes something very special. Bologna is a stunning city and Castell'Arienti is only 10 minutes to the city. Massimo had a E5.50 pass for parking in blue lined areas which was exceptional value. Highly recommended. Take the time to explore Emilia Romagna as it has amazingly beautiful scenery.
Thank you for your kindness! Hope to have you as guest next time you'll come in Italy!
Massimo's beautiful apartment is located in a quiet area, away from noise and traffic and yet a few minutes' drive from Bologna's centertown. Massimo is very helpful and his home-made food delicious!
My wife and I stayed with Massimo for two nights and he was an incredible host. His condo was lovely and the building was magnificent. It is in a palazzo built in the 1400's which went to ruin and then was completely rebuilt in 2007 with about 20 units. It is about 11 km from Bologna up a winding road, very secluded, but convenient. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated (as was the entire condo). Our first night, Massimo cooked us dinner (for a minimal charge) and it was wonderful. Each course out did the next and the accompanying wine and liquors were perfect. Our only day of seeing Bologna, Massimo went out of his way to act as our tour guide for the morning. He proudly showed off the architecture and many sites of interest and with his knowledge of Bologna brought to life so much of what we saw. He joined us for lunch at a pizzeria of his selection and we were not disappointed. We dined in an indoor garden room and the food was delicious. We met up again for dinner and he took us to a "typical" Bolognese trattoria which offered up courses of wonderful food and wine. Breakfast both days was accompanied by homemade apricot preserves, freshly baked bread and good Italian coffee. We were able to have many in depth conversations with Massimo during our short stay and learned so much about Italy and Bologna. He was an outstanding host and we would highly recommend Localita Castell'Arienti .
We booked this apartment right 6 hours before check-in. I got answer after 10 minutes! The communication was very quick. The house originally was designed by Palladio then was reconstructed about 10 years ago. Now villa has more than 20 appartments. To find the villa you have to go on the top of the hill when meet parking on the left. Owner met us very welcome. He cooked dinner for us and designed touristic path for sightseeing. To get to historical center of Bologna you will have to drive down the hill about 10 minutes. I recomend this place for those who want stay in natural environment and spend free time in Bologna center. The owner doesn't have twin beds. The rooms were clean and had all needed for stay. If I want visit Bologna I will choose Massimo house again indeed.

Everything went smooth as silk, easy, friandly, very pollite and responsable. the house was very clean and tidy. A pleasure on itself having Massimo andhis family around!
Massimo e sua figlia Elisa sono stati per noi una piacevole sorpresa. La pacatezza di Massimo e la freschezza di Elisa ci hanno regalato momenti di genuina serenità: un piacere inaspettato e anche per questo ancora più sentito. Con Massimo abbiamo apprezzato la gioia di condividere le stesse esperienze di vita e le piccole e grandi soddisfazioni che questa nuova attività ci sta riservando. Grazie Massimo per i tuoi preziosissimi consigli e per averci permesso di entrare nel tuo nobile animo. Grazie davvero. It was a pleasant surprise to meet Massimo and his daughter Elisa.

Massimo takes very good care of his guests, helps in finding things to see in Bologna (and parking places!) and makes excellent food. He encouraged us to visit Ferrara, which was a real hit, and he took us to a vineyard owned by his friends. Great hospitality!
Massimo was an extraordinary host and magnificent cook. He opened up his home to us and made us feel right at home. His proximity to the city and the beautiful landscape in his backdoor was breathtaking. Most accommodating in helping us with directions and highlights and tips for our trip. We had the pleasure of spending time with his family - a great deal of fun - they practiced their English and I practiced my Italian - a win/win situation. I would highly recommend his bnb if you plan on visiting Bologna.
Massimo's house is amazing! Situated in the hills outside of Bologna, it is accessible to the city center without being too far in the middle of it all. He was a great host and very inviting. Along the way, he welcomed me (and late my family) in our transition to Bologna. A native of the area since birth, he's a great tour guide as well. He cooks superbly and was even accomodating enough to provide transportation from time to time! Massimo is the best! I stay in Bologna now and still consider him a real friend.
Massimo is a personable house guest. Very well experienced in house keeping, he will let you find a welcoming atmosphere, nice taste attractive food, comforts you may need. He has a real attitude in solving little and big problems that a non Bologna citizen may encounter. You may count on him. He is a living tourist guide: he may suggest you events, shows and even better where you may have the best appetizer or pizza or food in town based on your preferences. He may update you on many events regarding his multiple interests like for example classic music concerts, painting exhibitions, period furniture markets. His house is the ideal place for who wants to be in a quiet and relaxing location within Bologna, but without the traffic and daily confusion of this large town. ITALIAN:Massimo, dalla piacevole personalita', ha molta esperienza nella gestione della casa e vi fara' trovare un' atmosfera accogliente, cibo gustoso ed attraente, i comforts di cui avete bisogno. Possiede una vera attitudine nel risolvere piccoli e grandi problemi che un non-bolognese puo' incontrare. Potete contare su di lui. E' una guida turistica vivente: vi potra' suggerire eventi, spettacoli e, ancor meglio, dove potete gustare il miglior cibo o pizza o aperitivo in base ai vostri gusti. Vi potra' informare su numerosi eventi legati ai suoi molteplici interessi, quali ad esempio concerti di musica classica, mostre di pittura, mercati di mobili d'antiquariato. La sua casa e' il luogo ideale per chi vuole avere una sistemazione silenziosa e riposante in Bologna, senza avere il traffico e la confusione quotidiana di questa grande citta'.
Ottima qualità e pulizia, grande ospitalità, cordialità e gentilezza. Massimo fa l'impossibile per soddisfare i suoi ospiti con attenzione e generosità. Soggiornare da lui è senz'altro più che prenotare un semplice bed & breakfast: è come ritrovarsi a casa... Meraviglioso il panorama. Consigliatissima la cucina e la scelta dei vini: provare per credere! Highly recommended. Massimo is friendly, kind and generous. Great cooking in a warm and clean home. A wonderful sight... Worth of a visit!

Instant Analysis - St.
Rutgers 45 ... UCF 24
Bowl games shouldn't always be a key measure for a head coach who
struggles to win them. Jim Tressel and Bob Stoops aren't bums because
they've struggled in BCS games over the last few years. But coaches who
can win bowls on a regular basis do need to be given extra credit.
Rutgers hasn't just beaten up the mediocre teams from non-BCS
conferences, like UCF this year and Ball State in the 2007 International
Bowl; it has also come up with wins in recent years against NC State in
last year's PapaJohns.com Bowl and over Kansas State in the 2006 Texas
Bowl. Head coach Greg Schiano has led his Scarlet Knights to four
straight bowl wins after losing a whale of an Insight Bowl to Arizona
State in 2005, and he has proven that no matter who his team is going
against, with time to prepare, it's going to play tough and up to its
Playing to its strengths, namely a strong pass rush and timely big plays
from the offense, Rutgers was able to get by UCF relatively easily, as
it was supposed to. And that's the biggest battle for most of the
favorites in the bowl season: can they play as well as they're capable?
Not everything went smoothly. The running game didn't work when Mohamed
Sanu wasn't operating out of the Wildcat, Tom Savage was a bit erratic
on his throws, and the pass defense had some struggles, but the defense
jumped all over several of UCF's pass plays and appeared to have done a
great job in film study and with the extra prep work. This is a young
team with big reasons to believe it should be among the favorites for
the 2010 Big East title. And no one will be fired up to deal with a
Schiano team in the post season.
Let it Sanu, let it Sanu, let it Sanu.
As the entire East Coast, including the Rutgers campus, was getting blanketed by a wintry mess, WR Mohamed Sanu was just beginning to warm up inside cozy Tropicana Field. One of the most exciting true freshmen of the 2009 season, he sent one final warning to the rest of the Big East, scoring three touchdowns in a Scarlet Knight rout, two on the ground out of the "Wildcat" package and one on a catch. It was a harbinger of things to come for the playmaker the program has desperately sought since the recent departures of RB Ray Rice and receivers Kenny Britt and Tiquan Underwood to the NFL.
Over the last few games, Sanu has flashed the potential to do a little bit of everything for the Scarlet Knight offense in 2010 and beyond. At 6-2 and 215 pounds, he has a phenomenal blend of size and athleticism, which the UCF defenders will attest to after failing to stop him over 60 minutes. Best of all, he has the kind of work ethic that ensures he won't rest on his early success. Add in fellow rookie Tom Savage under center and leading rusher Joe Martinek, a sophomore, and Rutgers has the parts for a dynamite offense for the next couple of years.
Savage to Sanu. Get used to hearing it plenty in the future. It's a connection that's capable of bringing Rutgers that long-overdue Big East championship before running out of eligibility in 2012.
Matt Zemek
1) Give young Rutgers quarterback Tom Savage a great deal of credit for standing in the pocket and converting stacks of third downs. This "Knight Fight" acquired a distinctly Scarlet hue because UCF's normally stout defense (it contained Houston and Case Keenum, after all) made two good plays in a series of downs, but rarely three.
While giving Savage his due, it also needs to be noted that the red-clad muscle men on RU's offensive front gave Savage ample time in repeated third-and-long situations. If Greg Schiano can get that kind of pass blocking in 2010, a more mature quarterback will enable the Scarlet Knights to attack defenses with Savage precision. Let's see this team answer the bell on day one, however; recent season openers have not been kind to the home team on the banks of the Old Raritan.
2) Mindful of the fact that last year's Conference USA champion, East Carolina, lost to a plucky but average Kentucky team in the Liberty Bowl, this lower-tier FBS conference needed a shot in the arm at the beginning of a new bowl season. With Rutgers bringing a relatively thin 8-4 record (fattened by cupcakes) to Tropicana Field, the home-state Knights had an opportunity to help the C-USA cause. Their inability to hang with Rutgers for more than 35 minutes says a lot about their relative impotence, but this decisive loss represents an even more alarming sign for Conference USA.

Tommy Milone shuts down Royals in strong A's debut
OAKLAND, Calif. Ned Yost will be aggressive on the basepaths with his young Royals team - even when it means missing some chances along the way.
Kansas City was thrown out on the bases three times in a 1-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night, including in the first inning after the Royals put themselves in prime position to grab an early lead.
"That's the way we play. We play aggressive and we play to win," Yost said. "We don't play safe. We pick our spots, and give them credit, they executed."
A's starter Tommy Milone allowed three hits over a career-high eight innings in an impressive debut with his new team. Milone (1-0) faced the minimum in five of his innings, including getting through the fourth despite throwing only two strikes among his 10 pitches.
Perhaps for a night, Milone made it easier for the small group of fans who turned out at the Coliseum to picture life without lefty Gio Gonzalez. The A's acquired Milone from the Nationals in December, sending All-Star Gonzalez to the nation's capital.
Milone won his sixth career start after the Nationals won all of his five starts last season. Grant Balfour finished the three-hit shutout for his second save in as many chances.
"You've got to kind of take your hat off to him. He did a fantastic job of keeping the ball off the barrel of our bats," Yost said. "He did it by changing speeds, he did it by changing location in and out. We just couldn't center him up. We had two opportunities, two leadoff doubles, and didn't capitalize." Milone started the game by allowing a leadoff double to Jason Bourgeois, who was then thrown out on an impressive double play in which right fielder Josh Reddick caught Lorenzo Cain's liner and fired to third baseman Josh Donaldson, who backhanded the short one-hopper and put the tag on from his knees.
"It was one of those things he threw it right on the base and I really didn't want him to get to the bag," Donaldson said. "I used my catcher instincts."
Donaldson also delivered an RBI single in the second that held up for Milone. The A's missed chances to add on that inning, then Donaldson struck out swinging with the bases loaded in the sixth.
Luis Mendoza hung tough through 5 2-3 innings in the opener of Kansas City's lone trip to Oakland this year. The right-hander (0-1), who went 4-0 with a 0.47 ERA in six spring training starts, allowed one earned run on five hits, struck out two and walked four.
Those two strikeouts were impressive just based on who they were against - new A's cleanup hitter Yoenis Cespedes.
"I felt great. I made good pitches," Mendoza said. "Just in the second inning I think the umpire squeezed me a little bit."
Cespedes, who hit three home runs in his first four games that were all against Seattle, also drew a walk and grounded out. Coco Crisp, who moved to left field so Cespedes could start the year in his familiar center field spot, singled in the seventh then stole his first base of the year. Kurt Suzuki added three hits for the A's.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is opening up about her struggles on Capitol Hill in her new book which is set to be released in early September.
In an excerpt from the book, Gillibrand recounts a time she was working out in the congressional gym when a male colleague said, "good thing you are working out, because you wouldn't want to get porky." Gillibrand also shares the challenges of being a mother of young children, saying she was once asked to preside over the senate during an hour she had set aside to nurse her infant son.
"Off The Sidelines" is scheduled to be released September 9th.

The wetlands of Morava are witnessing a rebirth. This site lies on the border between Lower Austria and Slovakia. In fact, the Morava valley (or the March) suffered at the hands of man during the 50sand 60s, when the slow and winding course of the river was canalised and straightened out. This meant that the surrounding plain, that had been liable to flooding, was no longer flooded. The meanders with their rich deposits of alluviums were abandoned. The riverbanks were lined with stones. Thus upsetting the natural balance. The rich local bio-diversity, characteristic of European wetlands, was under threat. A rehabilitation project, financed by the European Commission's Life-Nature programme was set up to restore the natural balance. The aim is to make this place one of the sites within the European network of protected natural areas, "Natura 2000".

David Wayne Jordan claimed he was squirrel hunting, but the Bellingham man had no explanation for the weed, Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo says. Jordan had been released from the jail Aug. 23.
The Bellingham Herald reports that he later told deputies he had been aiming at a squirrel.
The sheriff says Jordan couldn't explain why he needed to attach marijuana to the arrow to go squirrel hunting.

Your MLS SuperDraft winner: Sporting Kansas City
Jan 17, 2013, 2:30 PM EDT
SD has a list of early winners at the 2013 SuperDraft, a list which I agree with for the most part. (The dude is so smart.)
But I think he missed out on one squad: Sporting Kansas City.
The highest-point-getter in the Eastern Conference had a wonderful first round, snagging Mikey Lopez with the 14th pick. Some thought he would go as high as No. 2 to Chivas, but the crafty midfielder who is a fixture on Tab Ramos' U-20 squad slipped.
The 19-year-old is young, but he sounds like he knows what he's getting into and he has had some good advice. "My parents said I looked ready on the field," Lopez said prior to the Combine. "It felt like a good time for me to start my pro career. At a young age, I'll be able to have a longer career and be able to move out of the States a lot sooner than if I were to stay longer in school."
Elsewhere, but not related to the draft, is the fact that SKC scored a jersey sponsor after the disastrous Livestrong experiment. Ivy Funds, an Overland Park company, will lend their name and logo to the uniforms in 2013.
"They offer us everything we wanted, with the key attribute being local," Sporting Club CEO Robb Heineman said in a statement. "Local was always the thing that was going to be most important to us in a jersey sponsor and then innovation. Ivy Funds has proven that they're an innovator in their field. We wanted something that connected to our community in a large way and that's exactly what this relationship is going to allow us to do."
Doesn't Aurelien Collin look nice? You now what will make him look even better? Holding MLS Cup in 2013.
- charliej11 - Jan 17, 2013 at 4:27 PM
Sometimes the winning draft is relative to what you had going in.
I thought my Sounders did very well moving up from 16 to 10 and drafting a guy that lead his team in scoring in a year they won the NCAA championship. He is GA so no salary cap hit and they only paid allocation dollars for it.
Also, they grab another guy that would have been GA and a top 5 draft pick, if they didn't pull him from the draft with the HGP tag.

hah, that'll be the day

Is the first pick of the MLS draft cursed? Have a look at the table of first picks since 1996 (and then look at who was picked after them). Maybe its better to be picked second?

Avanti Auto Driving School1200 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33432, United StatesShowing 2 reviews out of 2 total
Mark C12/11/145 Stars - I know Erin C. and her review is very "dishonest".. Erin was bragging how she put them in their place just because they couldn't accommodate their her needs. So I'm setting the record straight. Erin was the only one actually disrespectful to the school to "Paula" because at the last minute, she wanted to set up driving lessons and the school had other commitments with other kids in the time that she wanted for her lessons.. Erin should be ashamed of herself.. I used Avanti for both my kids were very professional and Paula was great..Erin C06/05/141 Stars - Worst Driving school i have ever experienced. !! There is a receptionist there named "Paula" if you ever talk to her. She is very disrespectful and does not understand the needs of others. Literally had a time where i needed an appointment last min.- but was going to wait a month... Luckily got the lesson the day before, had to reschedule due to family matters.. Literally said "I will cancel..but don't call again- find another school". That was the first time i cancelled ever at the school, not a newbie there. Not recommend to anyone. No good customer relations. No consideration whatsoever.

Technological paradigms, regimes and trajectories: Manufacturing and service industries in a new taxonomy of sectoral patterns of innovation
This article presents a new sectoral taxonomy that combines manufacturing and service industries within the same framework. This exercise is relevant because it aims at greater integration between the study of sectoral patterns of innovation in manufacturing and services, stressing the increasing importance of vertical linkages and inter-sectoral knowledge exchanges between these interrelated branches of the economy. The relevance of the new taxonomy is illustrated with reference to the innovative activities and economic performance of manufacturing and service industries in Europe. This empirical evidence, which presents fresh results from the Fourth Community Innovation Survey, supports the relevance of the taxonomy by showing the great variety of sectoral patterns of innovation in European industries.

text: I must admit that after watching Gonzaga take Michigan State to the wire and Memphis make it close against Kansas, I realized that I had forgotten how much I enjoy college basketball.But with the fun of college basketball comes that over-enthusiastic voice from the sidelines. And I heard that voice tonight calling the Carolina-Ohio State game. And I think I heard Dickie V. say that the Illini would be better than expected this year. (Because, of course, it makes sense to talk about the Illini in a semi-final game of a tournament they aren't playing in.) He also got in praise for the Orange Krush and Bruce Weber's recruiting. I think. I tend to tune that voice out.Did I hear that right?

Don't tell that to any feminist activists, bro, or you might catch some heat for it.
Quote from: Tom on December 19, 2014, 12:59:05 AMDon't tell that to any feminist activists, bro, or you might catch some heat for it.For anyone who might be offended, we can be thankful that, while even today many who speak the Hebrew language still refer to their husbands as ba'ali (my owner), YHWH promised that there would be a time when he would not be referred to as ba'ali, but as ishi (my man).Hos 2:18 יח והיה ביום ההוא נאם יהוה תקראי אישי ולא תקראי לי עוד בעליHos 2:16 It will be in that day," says Yhwh, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'Ronen
Its weird I was just looking up the seven women taking a hold of one man in Isaiah 4 1For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!" 2In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.
I was thinking but could be wrong if it is the 7 churches/women in the right hand of the Lord in Rev 2 and 3 ? Just curious to yours or anyone opinion
So to summarize, even if it would be proven without a doubt the NT was originally written in Latin it doesn't remove the underlying Jewish mindset.
