1. Area of Application
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions apply to all stipulations with customers of miray Software GbR including those arisen via telecommunication channels
(§ 312b Abs. 2 BGB).
1.2. The GTaC are effective for deliveries and services by miray to the client ("AG").
1.3. Terms differing from these GTaC - as far as not constituted in the entire offering of the AG - are not effective.
2. Offering
Our offerings are always subject to confirmation and possibly depend on the availability from our suppliers. Graphical representations, descriptions, declarations
of dimension or weight in prospectuses, documents, catalogues etc. are subject to alteration by miray.
3. Self-supply Reservation
If the stipulated consignment is not available because miray itself has not been supplied by its suppliers or the inventory stocks of miray for this consignment
are exhausted, miray is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case the AG will be informed immediately that the stipulated consignment
is not available.
4. Delivery of Software
Software is committed to the customer as a licensee for use within the limits of a single-workstation-license. Any simultaneous use on two or more workstations
or any use within a network requires an appropriate number of single-workstation-licenses or an adequate multi-workstation-license.
5. Right of Cancellation by AG, if being a end-user
In case that the stipulation results from exclusive use of telecommunication channels (i.e. by telephone, in written form including facsimile or by e-mail)
the AG is entitled to the following right of cancellation:
5.1. The AG may cancel contracts in written form (by e-mail as well) or by returning the consignment within the respite of two weeks to the address of miray
in each case.
5.2. There is no right of withdrawal for software that has already been unsealed by the AG.
5.3. Further, there is no right of withdrawal for deliveries that have been transmitted online (e.g. software for download).
5.4. The respite of two weeks begins with receipt of the consignment. It is ensured by dispatch of the complete, unused and undamaged consignment to
5.5. As far as the order value amounts more than 40.00 Euro, miray restitutes the freight charges for reconsignment by Deutsche Post AG. Charges of other
carriers will not be restituted. Shipments sent freight unpaid will not be accepted by miray and will be returned at the expense of the AG. Freight unpaid
shipments and deficiencies in franking count as not sent properly and do not have effect on ensuring the respite.
5.6. Miray is entitled to retain a diminution emerging from utilization of the consignment.
5.7. If the returned consignment is damaged or defective, miray is entitled to demand compensation from the AG.
6. Passing of Risk, Delivery Period
6.1. Risk passes to the AG as soon as the consignment has been delivered by miray to the person or institution decided to handle shipping.
6.2. If the breach of a possible delivery date is caused by force majeure, e.g. mobilization, war, riot, general telecommunication interference or similar events,
e.g. strike, lockout, periods are extended adequately. Miray will inform the AG immediately about the delay in delivery.
7. Terms of Payment
Purchase price becomes due immediately with ordering.
8. Charging, Right of Retention
The AG can only charge up against such receivables that are undisputed or legally ascertained.
9. Deficiencies in Matter
9.1. It is pointed out to the AG that it is technically impossible to develop software that is absolutely faultless. Therefore miray only accepts warranty for the
technical usability of the program delivered by miray for its declared intended purpose. There is no warranty being issued that the standard software is in
accordance with the operational characteristics of the AG as far as nothing different is stipulated in written form. Employees of miray are not authorized
to enter into verbal commitments. In case of illicit interventions concerning the software installation by the AG or third party any further warranty on the
part of miray will become void.
9.2. The parts of the consignment that show a deficiency in matter within the limitation period as far as its cause has already been existing at the moment of
passing of risk have to be mended, to be delivered again or to be yielded again gratuitously at the option of miray.
9.3. Despite a repeated fulfillment the period of limitation does not start over. (10.3).
9.4. Claims from deficiencies of matter become time-barred within 12 months from handover of the consignment. This does not apply as far as §§ 438 Abs. 1
Nr. 2, 479 Abs. 1 and 634a Abs. 1 Nr. 2 BGB stipulate longer respites as well as in cases of injury of life, body or health, in case of an intentional or
grossly negligent breach of duty of the AG and in case of fraudulent concealment of a deficiency. The legal requirements about inhibition of expiry of the
time limit, inhibition or restart of respites stay unaffected. For end-users the time limit does not expire until 24 months from handover.
9.5. If a belated fulfillment is failing, the AG may irrespective of possible claims for damages (13.) withdraw from the contract or lower the commission.
9.6. Claims for deficiencies do not exist in case of damages, which emerge after passing of the risk, either (1) as a result of incorrect operation or handling or
(2) due to use of other software, which is not compatible to the object of delivery, or (3) due to exterior influences that are not assumed according to the
contract. If the AG conducts improper modifications to or unauthorized interventions in the software installation, there are no claims for deficiencies for
these and the resulting consequences.
9.7. The AG will reprove miray for deficiencies in matter immediately in written form. If the AG is end-user he will notify miray about pending deficiencies in
written form or by e-mail within a respite of two weeks from receipt. After expiration of the respite the assertion of pending deficiencies is barred.
9.8. Claims of the AG resulting from expenditures necessary for the purpose of belated fulfillment, especially forwarding expenses, are barred as far as they
are based upon the fact that the consignment has been brought to a location different from the delivery address afterwards.
9.9. Miray has to be conceded an alternative for belated fulfillment within an appropriate period of time. If this is denied, miray is exempted from liability for
deficiencies in matter.
9.10. Advanced claims or claims different from those regulated in cipher 9. of the AG against miray due to a deficiency in matter are barred. Furthermore cipher 12. applies regarding claims for damages.
10. Infringement of Property Rights, Other Deficiencies in Title
10.1. As far as third party asserts legitimate claims against the AG based on the infringement of property rights through a consignment rendered by miray and
utilized contractually, miray is liable against the AG within the respite constituted in 9.4 as follows:
10.1.1 For the consignment in concern, miray will at own option and expense either effect right of use or change it in a way that these property rights are not infringed
any more or substitute it. If this is not feasible for miray on appropriate conditions, the AG is entitled to the legitimate rights of withdrawal and reduction.
10.1.2 The liability of miray to compensate damage is based upon 12.
10.1.3 The liabilities of miray mentioned above only persist as far as the AG informs miray immediately and in written form about the claims raised by third
party, does not acknowledge an infringement and all defense actions and negotiations for settlement stay reserved to miray. If the AG discontinues utilization
of the consignment for reasons of loss minimization or other important reasons, he will point out to third party that the discontinuation of utilization
does not involve a confession of an infringement of property rights.
10.2. Claims of the AG are barred as far as he is responsible for the infringement of property rights.
10.3. Furthermore, claims of the AG are barred as far as the infringement of property rights is caused by special demands of the AG, by utilization not predictable
by miray or by the AG modifying the consignment or utilizing it in combination with products not delivered by miray.
10.4. In case of other deficiencies in title, the regulations from 9. apply accordingly.
11. Impossibility, Adaptation of Contract
11.1. As far as delivery is impossible, the AG is entitled to claim compensation unless miray is not responsible for the impossibility. But the claim for compensation
of the AG is limited to 10 % of the value of that part of the consignment that cannot be utilized by the AG due to the impossibility. This does not
apply as far as in cases of intention, gross negligence or initial inability or due to harm for life, body or health an obligatory liability applies; this does not
imply a change of the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the AG. The right of withdrawal of the AG stays unaffected.
11.2. As far as events of force majeure (6.2) change the economic relevance or the contents of the consignment significantly or affect on the business of miray
significantly, the contract will be accommodated adequately under consideration of good faith. As far as this is economically not justifiable miray has the
right of withdrawal. If miray wants to exercise this right of withdrawal, miray will notify the AG thereof immediately after getting awareness of the consequences
of the event, even if there was an agreement with the AG at first concerning an extension of the delivery period.
12. Other Claims for Compensation
12.1. Claims for compensation and claims for reimbursement of expenses of the AG, regardless of the legal ground, especially due to breach of duties from
the obligation and from illegal action, are barred. Therefore miray is especially not liable for damages that arise at the consignment itself and for loss of
profit or for other financial losses of the AG.
12.2. This does not apply as far as there is no obligatory liability for example according to the law of product liability or in cases of intention, gross negligence,
due to harm for life, body or health.
12.3. Compensation for the infringement of essential contractual obligations is limited to the contract-typical, predictable damage, as far as it is not based upon
intention or gross negligence or liability arises from harm for life, body or health.
12.4. As far as liability of miray is barred or limited according to 13., this also applies to the personal liability of its clerks, employees, contributors and other
assistants but not to the personal liability of legal representatives and executives.
12.5. As far as the AG is entitled to compensation according to 12., they become time-barred within 12 months from delivery. In case of intention, bad faith
and in case of claims for compensation resulting from the law of product liability the legal regulations for lapse of time apply.
12.6. The regulations of 13. do not imply a change of the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the AG.
13. Confidentiality
13.1. Concerning the documents, knowledge, information and other technical documentations independent if the used medium ("Information") of the opposite
party obtained on base of the contract, either party will neither pass them on to a third party nor use them for other purposes than those contractually
agreed on without written consent of the opposite party. They have to be protected against unauthorized inspection or use. Without restraint of other
rights one party can demand their return if the opposite party infringes these duties.
13.2. The duty according to cipher 13.1 start with the first receipt of information and ends 36 months after expiration of the contract.
13.3. The duty according to cipher 13.1 does not apply to information that is matter of common knowledge or that are already known to the receiving party at
receipt without being obligated to nondisclosure that are transmitted subsequently by an authorized third person or that are developed by the receiving
party without utilization of information from the opposite party that are subject to nondisclosure.
14. Subsidiary Agreements, Place of Jurisdiction, Applicable Law
14.1. Subsidiary agreements require written form.
14.2. Place of jurisdiction is Munich (Germany) if the contractual partner is businessman in terms of the Handelsgesetzbuch.
14.3. German law applies to the exclusion of CISG.

Jason Segel presents Nightmares!
Harvard Book Store
Friday, September 12, 2014 at 7:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Harvard Book Store welcomes multitalented actor, writer, and musician JASON SEGEL for a reading and signing of his hilariously frightening middle-grade novel Nightmares!
Nightmares! is the first book in a trilogy about a boy named Charlie and a group of kids who must face their fears to save their town, co-written with New York Times bestselling author Kirsten Miller.
Sleeping has never been so scary. And now waking up is even worse!
Charlie Laird has several problems.
1. His dad married a woman he is sure moonlights as a witch.
2. He had to move into her purple mansion, which is NOT a place you want to find yourself after dark.
3. He can't remember the last time sleeping wasn't a nightmarish prospect. Like even a nap.
What Charlie doesn't know is that his problems are about to get a whole lot more real. Nightmares can ruin a good night's sleep, but when they start slipping out of your dreams and into the waking world—that's a line that should never be crossed.
And when your worst nightmares start to come true . . . well, that's something only Charlie can face. And he's going to need all the help he can get, or it might just be lights-out for Charlie Laird. For good.

Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., finds himself facing embarrassing questions after FBI agents raided the home of a South Florida eye doctor who is a frequent campaign contributor to Menendez and other politicians. The questions come at an inconvenient time for Menendez, who is playing a lead role in helping craft bipartisan immigration-reform measures.
Making matters worse for Menendez, the Miami Herald splashed the damaging story above the fold on its front page Wednesday. The story reported that federal agents had raided the home of Dr. Salomon Melgen, who the newspaper said is "suspected of provided free trips and even underage Dominican prostitutes" to Menendez. Menendez, expected to be the next chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has denied the charges.
Melgen, a prominent donor who is facing a tax lien of more than $11 million from the IRS, frequently takes his private jet between Miami and his native Dominican Republic. Menendez has acknowledged taking at least one trip on Melgen's plane, according to the newspaper.
Menendez just chaired Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on the Benghazi, Libya, attack and the confirmation of Secretary of State designee John Kerry. In the coming months he'll guide the august committee as it deals with America's response to Iranian and North Korean nuclear aspirations.
The allegations first surfaced last year in the conservative publication The Daily Caller. And this week, when a reporter from the media outlet approached Menendez, he said: "I'm not going to respond to the fallacious allegations of your story," according to the Daily Caller.
For his part, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the story's origins in a conservative publication, telling reporters Tuesday, "All anyone here has to look at is the source where this comes from."
While the 57-year-old senator won't face reelection until 2018, he's a pivotal figure in New Jersey's Democratic party just as it tries to oust Gov. Chris Christie or at least run a strong race against the GOP incumbent and possible presidential hopeful. It also comes as Newark Mayor Cory Booker seeks to oust Sen. Frank Lautenberg. Menendez has not taken a position in that race.
A prostitution allegation is not necessarily a death sentence in the U.S. Senate. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana faced prostitution allegations after his phone number was disclosed by a brothel owner known as the "D.C. Madam." The Republican confessed to making mistakes in his marriage and he was easily reelected. Vitter was never charged with a crime.
UPDATE: Menendez's spokesman released a statement Wednesday afternoon denying the charges: "Dr. Melgen has been a friend and political supporter of Senator Menendez for many years. Senator Menendez has traveled on Dr. Melgen's plane on three occasions, all of which have been paid for and reported appropriately. Any allegations of engaging with prostitutes are manufactured by a politically-motivated right-wing blog and are false."

Consistently wonderful Indian food. We've been many times and I recommend everything on the menu. They do a great job with takeout, too. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Service can be a little slow - they seem to be afraid of rushing you. So I always just wave them down to order beers and appetizers. Nice dining room - sleek enough for a date, casual enough to feel at home. Only things missing on the (fairly extensive) menu are specials and more desserts. If the selection for the latter doesn't do it for you, head over to JP Licks , a couple blocks northeast on Harvard Street, for ice cream.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/16/2006
The food is fantastic, and has some of your classic "American Indian Restaurant" fare plus a slew of Hyderabadi specialities. Not too pricey, and if you eat in, the lighting and decor definitely make it a nice experience. Take-out was fast and easy. Yum!

11 Flattering Styles That Should Be in Every Woman's Wardrobe
11 Flattering Styles That Should Be in Every Woman's Wardrobe
To make the most of your wardrobe, stash these 12 super-flattering, über-versatile items in your closet. You'll never have an outfit-idea freak-out again. (OK, well maybe not never, but getting dressed and out the door will be way easier, we swear.) Prepare for the OMG-where-did-you-get-that?! compliments!SEE MORE
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: a Fancy-ish MaxidressBreezy jersey maxidresses are a comfy go-to, but if you want to wear a maxi to work—or to meet the parents—try one with a little polish. How to tell if you're still underdressed? Ask yourself: Would the leading lady of my favorite romantic comedy wear it in the disheveled breakup scene or the wedding party scene? One like Zoe Saldana's picture-perfect Chloé maxidress works every time. (And P.S.—if you're afraid of getting lost in all that fabric, cinch it with a belt.)
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: a Polished Pleated SkirtYou don't have to marry a prince to look like royalty (though taking style cues from Kate Middleton certainly helps). Play the role of the international leading lady with a go-everywhere pleated skirt. Add a pair of serious heels to one with a sweet midlength hemline for a look that's anything but schoolgirl.
Flattering Outfit Idea: a Vintage-y DressWe love smart, stylish celebs who know a good outfit no-brainer when they see one: Zooey Deschanel's vintage-looking A-line dress is just begging to be worn on a brunch date, at a birthday party or for an Instagram photo session. Adorbs!
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: Nude PumpsA pair of basic pumps in skin-tone-matching hue, as seen here on Jennifer Aniston, will go with just about every outfit in the whole entire universe. (Plus, they're the best way to fake super-long legs without cloning Gisele.) Wear nude heels with jeans, dresses, shorts and just about everything in between.
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: Striped DressIt doesn't matter which season, year or decade it is, stripes are always in. The easiest way to wear 'em is in dress form, so there's no mixing-and-matching action required. One tip: Don't be freaked out by horizontal stripes. When they turn up on a fitted top or dress—like Jennifer Hudson's fab Issa dress—the alternating colors can visually whittle your waist.
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: a Bright BeltWhile you'll never hear us say a bad word about basic black or brown accessories, a colorful, can't-miss belt is a part of our unofficial wardrobe survival kit. As seen on the always-stunning Diane Kruger, a standout color at the waist draws the eyes to the middle, while the little bit of structure creates a sexy hourglass shape in approximately six seconds. (No ab work necessary!)
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: an Unboring Solid-Color DressSolid-color dresses are The Bachelor reruns of your wardrobe: You've got to have a lot of these on hand to get you through the workweek without totally losing your mind. Next time you're out shopping, dig through the racks of bright dresses to find one that has a little something special going on—like the cap sleeves and flattering portrait collar Kristin Davis is working—so you don't have a "Now, how should I jazz up this dress?" moment later.
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: a One-Shoulder DressHow do you expect to get a little eye contact from across the room—or draw attention to your pretty face—when you don't have something special going on at the neckline? A one-shoulder dress like Jennifer Lopez's says, "Look! I'm over here!" For those of you with a larger bust, note that this cut can give "the girls" a little more support than a regular strapless or bustier style. Bonus!
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: Throw On a Boxy JacketIf you're looking for a classic three-second outfit game-changer, try a structured jacket. Look for one that hits at the hip—like Jordin Sparks' great boxy blazer—for the kind of topper that works just as well with skinny jeans as it does a swishy skirt.
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: a Cute Collared ShirtThere's nothing like a crisp collared shirt peeking out of a cardigan, sweater or dress to make work outfits look extra spiffy. Everyone from prim-and-proper grannies to cool downtown girls like Alexa Chung gives this look thumbs-up.
Flattering Wardrobe Must-Have: Plain, Old-Fashioned Boot-Cut JeansBoot-cut jeans are fashion life-savers: The look somehow adds curves to leaner figures yet slims down thighs for those who want a look-five-pounds-thinner trick. We won't question this style-saving phenomenon; we'll just thank the fashion gods.

Space is allocated on data storage devices in proportion to weights associated with the storage devices. The weights can be dynamically adjusted at any time in order to accommodate changes in the system and to better utilize the storage devices. The technique used to perform the allocating is independent of the weights used by the allocating. Further, the allocation technique can accommodate general purpose data streams having varying lengths and/or varying access patterns, as well as special purpose data streams, such as video streams.
1. A method of managing the allocation of space on data storage devices, said method comprising:
obtaining weights for at least a subset of a plurality of data storage devices, said subset comprising at least two data storage devices, and wherein said obtaining comprises using a first weighting procedure based on a first parameter;
allocating space on multiple data storage devices of said at least a subset of data storage devices in proportion to weights obtained for the multiple data storage devices, wherein said allocating is independent of access patterns of data to be accommodated by the allocated space in that said allocating is performed without a priori knowledge of said access patterns;
subsequently dynamically adjusting one or more of the weights using at least one second weighting procedure different from said first weighting procedure, wherein said at least one second weighting procedure is based on at least one second parameter, wherein one or more parameters of said at least one second parameter differ from said first parameter; and
allocating space on one or more data storage devices using said one or more dynamically adjusted weights.
2. The method of
3. The method of
4. The method of
5. The method of
normalizing the weights of the multiple data storage devices to obtain multiple normalized weights; and
using said multiple normalized weights in allocating space on said multiple data storage devices.
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/618,332, filed Jul. 18, 2000, entitled "Determining The Order And Frequency In Which Space Is Allocated On Individual Data Storage Devices," issuing on Dec. 7, 2004, U.S. Pat. No. 6,829,678, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
This application contains subject matter which is related to the subject matter of the following application/issued patent, each of which is assigned to the same assignee as this application. Each of the below listed applications/patents is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety:
"A Plurality Of File Systems Using Weighted Allocation To Allocate Space On One Or More Storage Devices," Sawdon et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,928,459, issued Aug. 9, 2005; and
"Parallel File System And Method With Allocation Map," Schmuck et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,446, Issued Sep. 28, 1999.
This invention relates, in general, to allocating space on data storage devices, and in particular, to using weights to determine the order and frequency in which space is allocated on individual storage devices.
Many computing environments include file systems, which enable other application programs to store data on and retrieve data from storage devices. In particular, a file system allows application programs to create files and to give them names (a file is a named data object of arbitrary size), to store (or write) data into files, to read data from files, to delete files, and perform other operations on files.
A file structure is the organization of data on the storage devices. In addition to the file data itself, the file structure contains meta data, which includes, for instance, the following: a directory that maps file names to the corresponding files; file meta data that contains information about the file, including the location of the file data on the storage device (i.e., which device blocks hold the file data); an allocation map that records which device blocks are currently in use to store meta data and file data; and a superblock that includes overall information about the file structure (e.g., the locations of the directory, allocation map, and other meta data structures).
In order to store successive data blocks of a file to distinct devices, such as disks or other storage devices, a technique known as data striping is used. Data striping may also be used to store the file system's meta data. The advantages of striping include high performance and load balancing. In data striping, the file system writes successive blocks of a file, or the file's meta data, to distinct devices in a defined order. For example, the file system may use a round-robin allocation, in which successive blocks are placed according to a cyclic permutation of the devices. This permutation is called the data stripe order. The data stripe order defines the order and frequency of allocations (and thus, writes) to each device in the file system. For example, a system with four disks using a simple round-robin allocation scheme would allocate space on each disk in consecutive order, namely: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . . Hereinafter, "data stripe" and "stripe," as well as "data striping" and "striping" are used interchangeably.
This simple round-robin allocation is used by most striped file systems for allocation. Although, round-robin allocations may be sufficient in some circumstances for a system that includes homogeneous devices, it proves to be inadequate for a system with heterogeneous devices, and it proves to be inadequate for various circumstances in which homogeneous devices are used.
As one example, a round-robin allocation is inadequate for devices of different storage capacities or throughput. Under round-robin allocation, all devices are allocated equally. Consequently, subsequent access to the data is typically spread equally across the devices as well. For systems that include devices with different storage capacities, the small devices fill before the larger devices and then, must be excluded from the stripe order, thus reducing the parallelism and performance for all subsequent writes. Furthermore, the data striped across the reduced set of devices has reduced performance for all subsequent accesses.
Likewise, for systems that include devices with different throughput, round-robin allocation fails to maximize the throughput for allocation and all subsequent accesses to the data. Additionally, round-robin allocation has no capability for rebalancing a system that begins in an unbalanced state. An unbalanced state can occur for a variety of reasons including, for instance, when devices are partitioned between file or operating systems; when empty devices are added to an existing file system; or when the allocation policy changes. To rebalance such a system, extraordinary measures are required by the user, such as restriping of all the data in the file system.
Thus, a need still exists for an allocation technique that is general enough to be used in a wide variety of circumstances. Further, a need exists for a capability that enables rebalancing of the allocations to better match the current conditions and requirements of the system and/or devices.
The shortcomings of the prior art are overcome and additional advantages are provided through the provision of a method of managing the allocation of space on storage devices. The method includes, for instance, obtaining weights for at least a subset of a plurality of storage devices, the subset comprising at least two storage devices; and allocating space on multiple storage devices of the at least a subset of storage devices in proportion to weights obtained for the multiple storage devices, wherein the allocating is independent of access patterns of data to be accommodated by the allocated space in that the allocating lacks apriori knowledge of the access patterns.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a method of managing the allocation of space on storage devices is provided. The method includes, for instance, obtaining weights for at least a subset of a plurality of storage devices; and generating a stripe order using one or more of the weights, the stripe order indicating an order and frequency of allocating space on multiple storage devices of the plurality of storage devices, and wherein the generating is independent of a weighting assignment used in obtaining the weights.
System and computer program products corresponding to the above-summarized methods are also described and claimed herein.
The capabilities of one or more aspects of the present invention advantageously provide for the allocation of space across a plurality of storage devices, such that the space on each device is allocated and thus, consumed in proportion to some weight assigned to that device. The weight assigned to each device determines the allocation policy and allows the file system to balance the allocation across the devices. The weights and the allocation policy are independent of the technique used for allocation. This allows the policy to be changed dynamically to better match the current conditions and requirements.
Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present invention. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed invention.
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, space is allocated on multiple storage devices in proportion to weights associated with those devices. In particular, weights obtained for the storage devices are used to generate a stripe order, which provides the order in which space on individual storage devices is to be allocated and the frequency of allocating space on those devices.
As used herein, the obtaining of weights can be accomplished in any manner including, but not limited to, receiving the weights, and assigning the weights. Further, as used herein, a weight is a relative value obtained for data storage devices to indicate how one data storage device compares to another. This obtained value (i.e., weight) indicates, for instance, characteristics or capabilities of one data storage device relative to another. As one example, relative capacities of data storage devices can be indicated by values (i.e., weights) assigned to the devices such that a data storage device having a greater capacity is assigned a higher value. Other examples are described further below.
One embodiment of a computing environment incorporating and/or using aspects of the present invention is described with reference to
As one example, a node 102 includes an operating system 200 (
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, file system 202 allocates space on the various storage devices, such that the total allocation on each storage device is proportional to a weight obtained for (e.g., assigned to) that device. The weight obtained for each device is used in determining the allocation policy and allows the file system to balance the allocation across the devices to match individual device capacities and to better utilize the combined throughput of the devices. However, the weights and the allocation policy (i.e., the order and frequency of allocations on each device) are independent of the technique used for the allocation. That is, different allocation techniques can be used for the allocation. The allocation technique is not tied to the weights. This allows the weights to represent a variety of parameters (e.g., capacity weighting, throughput weighting, round-robin weighting, hybrid weighting, etc.), and allows the weights to dynamically change. Thus, the allocation policy can be changed at any time to better suit the current conditions or requirements. Further, any weighting technique used in obtaining the weights need not be known to the allocation technique.
Many different allocation techniques can be used to allocate space on the storage devices. One such technique, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, is a deterministic technique, which is described with reference to
As shown in
Initialization step 300 includes providing each of a plurality of devices (either all or some subset of the storage devices associated with the file system) with a weight and an allocation distance. One embodiment of this initialization is described with reference to
Initially, from a given list of devices and associated weights, where the weights are greater than zero, the lowest weight in the list is determined, STEP 400. In one example, this includes a linear scan over the weights in the list to find the lowest weight. However, for other embodiments, a heap or priority queue could be used to improve the efficiency of the technique.
Subsequent to finding the minimum weight, the weights are normalized such that the lowest weight is 1.0 and the other weights are proportionally higher, STEP 402. This is accomplished by dividing each of the weights by the minimum weight. For example, given four devices with weights [1000, 1500, 2000, 2500], the normalized weights are [1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5].
Thereafter, the normalized weights are summed to obtain a total weight, STEP 404. Thus, for the above example, the total weight is seven (1+1.5+2.0+2.5=7).
The total weight and normalized weights are then used to set the average distance between allocations for each device, STEP 406. In one example, the average distance between allocations for a device is computed by dividing the total weight of the devices (e.g., 7) by the normalized weight for that device. Thus, in the example described above, the average allocation distance for each of the four devices is 7, 4.3, 3.5 and 2.8, respectively.
Thereafter, the current position for each device is initialized to the average allocation distance for that device, STEP 408. That is, Device 1 is initialized to 7, Device 2 is initialized to 4.3, Device 3 is initialized to 3.5 and Device 4 is initialized to 2.8, in the example provided herein. This completes the initialization step of
One example of pseudocode used to initialize device weights and allocation distances is listed below:
Initialize the device weights and allocation distances:
Returning to
To generate the stripe order, each device is selected in turn. In one example, the next device to be selected for the stripe order is the device with the lowest current position. Thus, that device is located, STEP 500. For example, using the four devices above, with normalized weights of [1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5] and an average allocation distance of [7, 4.3, 3.5, 2.8], the device with the lowest current position is Device 4 with a current position of 2.8.
Subsequent to finding the device with the minimum current position, the current position for that selected device is updated, STEP 502. In one example, the current position is updated by adding the average allocation distance of that device to its current position. Thus, for Device 4, 2.8 is added to its current position of 2.8, yielding 5.6. This selected device is then returned to the caller, STEP 504.
The above is repeated for the desired number of allocations in the stripe order. In one example, the first fourteen allocations in the stripe order for the above example would be 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Thus, Device 1 has two allocations, Device 2 has three allocations, Device 3 has four allocations, and Device 4 has five allocations, which is in proportion to the weights assigned to each device.
One embodiment of pseudocode associated with selecting the next device in the stripe order is depicted below.
Selecting the next device in the stripe order:
Returning to
One embodiment of the logic associated with resetting the current positions is described with reference to
Resetting the current positions:
Described above is one allocation technique for allocating space across multiple storage devices based on weights associated with those storage devices. Another technique used for such allocation is referred to as a randomized technique. The randomized technique is an alternative implementation for weighted allocation based on a randomized selection of each device in the stripe order. The weight assigned to each device is used to bias the random selection so that the allocation is proportional to the weights.
In one example, randomized weighted allocation is performed in cycles. The weights of the devices are maintained as floating point numbers. The integer portion of each weight is used to determine the number of allocations to that device in each cycle. The sum of the integer portions determines the total number of allocations in the cycle. As each cycle completes, the initial normalized weights are added into the current weights and the next cycle of allocation can begin. The fractional portions of each weight accumulate across cycles to accurately maintain the weighted proportion.
One embodiment of the logic associated with a randomized allocation technique is described with reference to
Referring to
Initially, the minimum weight of the list of weights is found, STEP 800. Thereafter, the weight of each device is divided by the minimum weight in order to obtain a normalized weight for that device, STEP 802. The normalized weights are saved, and are also used to set the original current weights for the devices, STEP 804. In particular, the current weight for each device is initialized to its normalized weight.
Thereafter, the integer portion of the current weights are summed to determine the number of allocations in the first allocation cycle, STEP 806. For example, given four devices with weights [1000, 1500, 2000, 2500], the normalized weights are [1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5], and the total allocations on the first cycle is 6 (1+1+2+2=6).
One embodiment of pseudocode employed to initialize the device weights and total allocations is provided below:
Returning to
Initially, a random integer number is generated, STEP 900. For example, a random number is selected within the range of 1 to the number of allocations remaining in the cycle (i.e., [1 . . . allocRemaining]). Thus, if the total allocations in this cycle is six, a random number from 1 to 6 is selected. This number is then used to select a device by counting the integer portions of the weights of each device until the number is reached, STEP 902. For example, for devices with current weights of [1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5] and a random number of 4, a selection of Device 3 results (1(of Device 1)+1(of Device 2)+2(of Device 3)=4). As a further example, a random number of 1 results in a selection of Device 1.
Once a device is selected, its current weight and the total allocations remaining in the cycle are both decremented by 1, STEP 904. When the total allocations remaining reaches 0, the cycle is complete. To start a new cycle, the initial normalized weights are added to the current weights and the number of allocations in the next cycle are counted, STEP 906.
Thereafter, the selected device is returned to the caller, STEP 908. The above procedure is repeated until each cycle is complete, in one example.
One embodiment of pseudocode used to select the next device in the data stripe order is depicted below:
Described in detail above are two implementations of weighted allocation. Although these particular techniques are described herein, the invention is not limited to such techniques. Any allocation technique, which can use weights to allocate, can be employed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Although weighted allocation depends on the weights to determine the allocation policy, the allocation techniques themselves are independent of the actual weights assigned to each device. The weights can be changed at any time, to adjust the load on each device as needed. Furthermore, the technique of assigning weights can be changed at any time. This allows the allocation policy to be set dynamically and adjusted to meet the current requirements of the system.
A variety of weighting techniques are available to assign the initial weights, including for instance, the following:
Described in detail above is an allocation capability in which a stripe order is generated and used such that the total allocation on each device is proportional to the weight assigned to that device. The weighted allocation allows the system to balance the allocation to match the device capacities and to better utilize the combined throughput to the devices.
In one example, one or more stripe orders can be generated and used to allocate space across the storage devices. As examples, one stripe order can be used for all allocations of a file system; in another example, the storage devices are partitioned into groups, and a stripe order is generated and used for each group; and in yet another embodiment, a stripe order is generated for each file that is going to have space allocated therefor. Thus, in the last example, one stripe order can be used to allocate space for one file, and another stripe order (the same or different) can be used to allocate space for another file. In any of the above scenarios, the stripe orders are generated, as described above.
Various allocation techniques can be used to perform the weighted allocation. The allocation technique selected is independent of the weight assigned to each device, thus allowing the weights to be dynamically changed. This allows the allocation policy to be changed at any time to better suit the current conditions or requirements.
The weights assigned to the devices can be dynamically changed to represent different values and/or to represent a different operating parameter (e.g., capacity, I/O throughput, round-robin, hybrid). Further, the weighting assigning technique need not be known to the allocation technique. Further, the allocation technique can accommodate various data streams, including video streams and general data streams. This is because the allocation technique does not know and need not know a priori the length of the data streams and/or the access patterns of those data streams.
The allocation capability of the present invention is able to stripe according to weight across a plurality of heterogeneous storage devices. That is, the storage devices may be of different sizes, different capacities and/or of different speeds. These heterogeneous devices can be utilized and that utilization can be maximized. For instance, storage usage can be maximized and/or throughput can be maximized.
Additionally, the allocation capability of the present invention can automatically compensate for an imbalance in the file system. Such an imbalance can be caused by adding devices to the system, removing devices from the system, or for any other reasons. The rebalancing of the system is performed without necessarily restriping space already striped. In one example, the rebalancing is accomplished by obtaining new, different and/or additional weights and using an allocation technique to allocate space based on those weights.
The above-described computing environment is offered as only one example. One or more aspects of the present invention can be incorporated and used with many types of computing units, computers, processors, nodes, systems, work stations and/or environments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. As one example, one or more aspects of the present invention can be incorporated and used in a computing environment having a single node coupled to a plurality of storage devices, in which that node may have either a traditional distributed file system or a parallel file system.
The present invention can be included in an article of manufacture (e.g., one or more computer program products) having, for instance, computer usable media. The media has embodied therein, for instance, computer readable program code means for providing and facilitating the capabilities of the present invention. The article of manufacture can be included as a part of a computer system or sold separately.
Additionally, at least one program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the machine to perform the capabilities of the present invention can be provided.
The flow diagrams depicted herein are just examples. There may be many variations to these diagrams or the steps (or operations) described therein without departing from the spirit of the invention. For instance, the steps may be performed in a differing order, or steps may be added, deleted or modified. All of these variations are considered a part of the claimed invention.
Although preferred embodiments have been depicted and described in detail herein, it will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that various modifications, additions, substitutions and the like can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and these are therefore considered to be within the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

We're very interested to see how Rachel Zoe having a baby boy will affect the reality star's parenting style—we doubt any of the other moms are going to wear Alexander McQueen's Armadillo shoes to t-ball practice. While chatting with Women's Wear Daily, Zoe hinted at the sex of her unborn offspring, saying. "It all depends on his arrival." Following Rachel's slip-up, husband Roger Berman confirmed, "It's a little boy." Despite denying the pregnancy in October only to confirm it via Twitter a month later, Zoe is well into her seventh month, a fact she's not letting slow down her hummingbird-on-5-hour-energy-shots pace. "I've been asked to slow down. But to be totally honest, it's kind of next to impossible when you're planning your show and launching your collection, and in the middle of award season," Rachel confirmed, before restyling the interviewer's scarf, pinning a broach to Rodger's wallet and flying around the room on a gust of her own manic energy.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Berman confirms their son will be fashionable from the minute he gets pushed from the womb, whether he likes it or not. "Look at me! I have no predisposition to fashion, but thanks to Rachel I can't leave the house without worrying about whether or not my clothes match," Berman joked. Watching Rachel Zoe try to handle a sugar-crazed seven-year-old or a petulant teen driver while draped in vintage Chanel makes us hope their reality show keeps going forever. Or at least until the kid starts potty-training.

Things I would have changed:FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THESE PELLETS, I WOULD NOT PURCHASE THEM AGAIN. I OWN THE HATSAN 125 IN .25 AND THE BORE IN THE GUN IS TOO BIG FOR THESE PELLETS. AFTER LOADING THE PELLET, THEY WOULD FALL THROUGH THE BARREL. IN MY PARTICULAR RIFLE, THESE WERE THE LEAST ACCURATE. EVERY RIFLE IS DIFFERENT SO TRIAL AND ERROR WILL BE THE NORM. I WOULD CHANGE THE DIAMETER IN THE SKIRTS TO A TIGHTER TOLERANCE FOR THE .25 CALIBER.

LOS ANGELES The last time Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a feature film was a decade ago, when he played his iconic robot in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Acting took a back seat to politics from 2003-11 when Schwarzenegger served as governor of California.
Now, as far as acting goes, hes back.
Schwarzenegger stars in the new comedy-action film The Last Stand, playing an aging sheriff of a small town whos the only thing between a vicious escaped cartel boss and the Mexican border. The mayhem and mirth youve come to expect in a Schwarzenegger movie can be seen beginning Friday.
Though he made a few cameo film appearances during his days as a public servant, Schwarzenegger doesnt see the new movie as a return. Its just a continuation of the job he embraced after his championship weightlifting days.
As you might remember, when I got into the governorship, I said I would only run the state for the seven years and then I would be back in the movie business, Schwarzenegger said. So it was just like stepping out of the movie business more than going back to the movie business.
He was ready to get back to work, but he had some hesitations. The actor, whose career was built on playing fearless characters in such films as Conan the Barbarian and Predator, was concerned that his time had passed. From his offices in Sacramento, Schwarzenegger watched as a new generation of action heroes popped up to fill his place. Trying to take on those newcomers at the age of 65 seemed a little daunting.
But his cameos in the two Expendables movies gave him a hint that fans would welcome him back. Reaction was generally positive to him resuming his action ways.
Schwarzenegger returns with guns blazing as he doesnt shy away from big-action scenes in The Last Stand. Hes driving as fast, hitting as hard and shooting as straight as ever. Theres even a chance to show hes physically fit enough to take on some hand-to-hand combat.
As far as the acting part, Schwarzenegger said its like riding a bike: It all came back to him as soon as he stepped on the set.
One reason Schwarzenegger didnt feel like he had left acting was because he never really had time to miss it.
You get so engrossed in what you are doing and its such a huge responsibility to run a state like California with a legislature thats out of control. Bringing Democrats and Republicans together is always a miracle because everyone is so stuck in their ideological corners that they cant free themselves from that, Schwarzenegger said. So it takes a lot of effort to get things done, but because you are so into it and so passionate about serving your state you really dont have time to miss things in the movie business.
He loved being in politics, but he didnt seek a different office after his term because he never wanted to become a career politician. Hes happy to sit back and watch current California Gov. Jerry Brown sweat out the battles that he once had to wage.
Schwarzeneggers return to movies is fast and furious. Hes got two other movies ready for release, plus he wants to do a sequel to Twins called Triplets. He would strap on a sword if the right script came along for another Conan movie. And with another Terminator movie on the horizon, Schwarzeneggers looking to finish his film career with the same action roles that made him an international star.
His game plan is to keep doing movies that challenge him.
Im very open-minded about that. I read a lot of scripts and look at different things, but at the same time I have to be realistic that while I might see something I want to do, it might be something no one will ever see. In the end, this is show BUSINESS. Movies cost a lot of money and you have to make sure, as an actor, to make sure everyone gets their money back, Schwarzenegger said. We always have to ask if the people will really enjoy it. Will it do well overseas?
In the old days, we only thought about America. Today, its different Two-thirds of the money is being made overseas.

Activist Jaka Ahmad is blind, but that hasn't stopped him from doing much of anything.
"I am a restless person," he said.
Jaka has made it his mission to raise awareness about people with disabilities. It all began in 1997 when he was a student at Sahid University in Jakarta, where he worked with several organizations for the disabled.
Fifteen years later, he is the first blind member of the Jakarta Transportation Council. "Now that I'm inside [the system], I can make sure that our aspirations are really received," Jaka told the Jakarta Globe recently.
Jaka was born with weak eyesight. His vision gradually declined until he lost it completely when he was 27. Jaka used to help his older sister, who is also blind, with her organization for blind women.
He grew up in a well-educated family and was always told to be active and stand up on his own. So losing his vision didn't stop him from meeting new people and helping others.
Jaka stopped working for nonprofits for the disabled between 2000 to 2004. During that time, he worked in marketing for an insurance company.
But after leaving the company, Jaka resumed his work with NGOs that help the blind. He now runs his own leadership training business.
Jaka joined the 15-member transportation council after he was approved by the Association of Blind People (Pertuni). Jaka said not all the council's members are aware of the importance of providing facilities that are friendly to disabled people. When he first came in, "maybe only one member had the same perspective as I did. But slowly, I kept injecting the spirit. Now, four members have the same awareness," he said.
What he needed was time, he said. Jaka said he hoped people would have a better understanding about the issues affecting the disabled. He added that he dreamed of the day when disabled people had better access to the city's transportation system, one that catered to that specific population's needs.
Policymaking is be one of the ways to make this happen, he said. He recently gave some suggestions on facilities needed to access the planned mass rapid transit network, such as elevations, and ramps.
"Sometimes you need to tell someone more than once or twice to convey the message," he said. "This is what I'm doing, and I need full support from the public and disabled people."

Jackie Baird says she's not a numbers person, but it's hard to ignore the ones she's been putting up early this season for the East Tennessee State softball team.
The senior catcher from Ooltewah has hit 11 home runs in just 47 at-bats. That leaves her tied for the lead nationally and also ties the single-season record at ETSU, set by Stephanie Gaynord in 2006.
And the Bucs (10-8) just began conference play last weekend.
"It's really a culmination of hard work over the past three years to get some consistency with my hitting," Baird said Tuesday. "I'm thinking more about hitting in the gap, and the ball just seems to be carrying."
Baird needs just one more homer to tie Gaynord's career record of 25. That's a mark she never considered heading into the season.
"I hate numbers, because you start trying to do too much if you think about them," she said. "I didn't even know I could potentially get to the (career) record. My high before this season was five.
"I guess it would be cool to have my name in the record book, but it's really all about team. This is my last year, and I want to win."
The Bucs haven't done much of that lately. In Baird's three previous seasons, they posted a 39-105 record. Just to be 10-8 in mid-March qualifies as progress under coach Brad Irwin, who came to Johnson City the same time as Baird. She is one of just three seniors on his roster.
"I knew coach Irwin before I got to ETSU; he was recruiting me at UTC," said Baird. "We've always had a good relationship. He said, 'We're going to do this together,' and it really helps having him behind me."
Baird, a product of Girls Preparatory School, has had to battle through a variety of injuries, as one might expect of a catcher.
"I had issues with my left shoulder before I even got to college. It was pretty much reconstructed," she said. "My sophomore year I was in a collision at the plate that injured my right shoulder. I've had some ankle troubles … it's just stuff you have to work through."
The work is paying off. Baird isn't just hitting the ball far, she's hitting it often.
Her .396 batting average leads the team, as does her 24 runs batted in. It's the long balls, however, that draw the most attention.
She is tied with Chelsea Goodacre of Arizona for the national lead in home runs, but has played in eight fewer games. In fact, everyone in the top 30 on the list has played in more games than Baird.
"I'm not really surprised by her power," said Irwin, "but I am a little surprised by the rate she's hitting the home runs. We knew she's a really good hitter and had some pop. She's just seeing the ball and swinging so well now that she can hit any pitch out."
The Bucs lost two of three to Mercer in their home park to open the Atlantic Sun Conference season last weekend. The rubber game on Sunday went eight innings, with the Bears taking a 9-5 victory.
Again, that's progress.
"We're frustrated that we didn't get two out of three, but Mercer is a really strong team," said Irwin. "They're a good barometer for us. The last two years we started the conference schedule 0-3 against them. We came out of this one feeling like, We can do this in conference. The girls are chomping at the bit to get down to Gulf Coast this weekend."
Megan Devine got a chance to see how she stacked up against the best women's volleyball players in the country last month.
The most decorated player ETSU has ever produced thinks she did well in tryouts for the national team in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"It was a great experience to play with the best in front of (head coach) Karch Kiraly," said Devine. "I think there were 120 different colleges represented there, and a lot of outside hitters. I'm 5-11 and was probably one of the shortest; there were girls up to 6-6.
"I just tried to show the cannon of an arm that I have and what I've done all my life here in East Tennessee."
There were about 250 women invited to the tryouts at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. No announcements have yet been made on who will continue on.
"They invite 12 to go train in Anaheim with the national team and also pick another 12 who have college eligibility left to do the China tour this summer," said Lindsey Devine, ETSU's coach and Megan's mother, who was on hand in Colorado as an evaluator. "These were the best girls from the best programs across the country. Megan knew her chances of making the team were slim, but from what I observed, she did a fantastic job of showcasing her talent."
Devine was a three-time all-conference first team performer and the player of the year in 2012. She holds the A-Sun record for career kills.
Devine is planning to play professional volleyball overseas later this year. She got a taste of international competition last year with a U.S. team at the Global Challenge in Hungary and Croatia.
"I'm waiting to hear back from an agency about what teams want me in Europe," said Devine. "Hopefully it'll be somewhere that has nice weather and good food."
The ETSU baseball team is still looking for its offense as the non-conference schedule winds down.
The Bucs are hitting just .240 as a team and have been outscored 81-63. Their only hitter over .300 is Clint Freeman, at .333, and he's 56 points higher than the closest teammate.
The anemic batting average is easily the lowest in the last decade for an ETSU team. None has finished lower than .272.
Of course, the dynamics have changed since the Bucs moved from hitter-friendly Cardinal Park to Thomas Stadium. They've hit .288 and .272 in their previous two seasons there.
The Bucs (7-8) play at UNC Asheville today.
The men's tennis team opens defense of its A-Sun championship when Florida Gulf Coast visits on Friday.
The Bucs have won seven straight tournament championships, and this will be their last attempt before moving into the Southern Conference next year.
They completed a typically difficult non-conference schedule at 4-8, with 10 ranked teams in the mix. They defeated No. 46 Elon 4-0 in their most recent match.comments powered by Disqus

I am opposed to any street name changes! A "list" for potential street names should be formed, and when a new Street comes into existence a name should be chosen from the list on a first come first served basis. Union Avenue & 39th Avenue in my mind will be Union Avenue & 39th Avenue forever.
What a p-poor use of $80,000! I am sadly disappointed in our Portland Officials...
People.....Get your heads out of your a--! Now is NOT the time to spend money for things that don't help the multitudes that are STRUGGLING to survive the Major difficulties many are being faced with. Again I say please use your intelligence for something useful. Stop acting as if all is well with the world, it isn't!
I hate it when "Seniors" & other groups of people are pidgeon holed. Most older adults driving, drive very well, as do most teens. Accidents happen and most times they have nothing to do with age, that's why they are called accidents. Bad judgment or poor choices most times figure pretty high on the list of reasons but we're all guilty of making mistakes on occasion. Oh! FYI correct spelling for "accurancis" is:occurrences .
It seems to me that the timing for such a frivolous undertaking is very POOR! Considering the financial crisis that the whole country is experiencing. Any dollars that are used that come from the City's coffers or any other governmental entity should should be PRIORITIZED for more basic services! Things like new AAA Baseball Park should certainly wait until critical services i.e., Police, Fire, Schools, Roads, Bridges and many others have the funds to at least maintain their current levels. The financial status of our Federal, State, County and City Government Entities are very unstable, budget cuts are being made every where! How can anyone be thinking that SPORTS are a priority? In good times, Okay! But hey,don't you get it? Good times are gone for a while and we all need to step up and face the reality of this crisis.
Ronbo8 Here! Here! Well said.
If as you say, Boston79 "The Law says no, however the Law doesn't necessarily apply to Tribes" then I suggest that the confilicting law/laws be changed! What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander...No one and/or selected groups of citizens should be exempt from laws that are passed for the better of all citizens. Sure the State's Revenues have been effected but no matter, the NON-SMOKING LAWS and ALL LAWS should be for EVERYONE.
If laws are to mean anything....All of us, including Native Americans should be required to obey them.There is absolutely no valid reason or excuse to continue to allow smoking in any establishment where the public gathers. And the LAW says NO. End of discussion.
The Christmas Ships are so beautiful. Didn't they travel clear to Oregon City at one time?
Why do they stop in Milwaukie now?
It would seem that an Officer made a mistake not being truthful about something that is obviously embarrassing to her but a suspension without pay seems quite enough in the form of punishment.
An individuals weight is a very personal and sometimes sensitive issue. I have to say that I commend her for taking steps to help her get the weight in control. Too bad she had complications that required further surgery to make the corrections needed to make her healthy again. Take a look around maybe even at her fellow Officers! I see Firemen, Police Officers and Emergency employees everywhere that are in my opinion, over weight to the point that their performance in their highly dangerous jobs is surely impaired...
I hope the Union is successful in reinstating this Officer. I agree with the above poster...Shame on you Chief Rosie Sizer for making this a public matter!
Who cares! He should ask his wife and/or make the decision himself. Why is a public official using his access to the media to ask such frivilious questions? Just for fun! Huh! What a stupid statement. I want to know what he is doing in regards to the City of Portland. I could care less whether he is having a fashion crisis.
Shame on you Mayor Potter!
This should apply to ALL persons driving a motor vehicle. Adults are just as dangerous while using a mobile communication device! If you have to talk, pull off the road. Lets keep everyone safe.
Here! Here! I couldn't agree with you more..

I will be honest upfront: I find that I like biopics, especially those based on individuals who have to overcome tremendous obstacles. I am also a sucker for "un-actor-like" roles…meaning the actor or actress plays someone 360 degrees from their own self. But (and this is the very big stipulation) only if done well. Very well.

Can Winston Churchill be exciting? In this second installment of HBO's film on Churchill (the first being The Gathering Storm with Albert Finney playing Churchill), the old English Bulldog is pretty darn exciting. Maybe I should preface that by saying the ERA that this film takes place in is much more exhilarating than the timeframe of the Finney film (pre-WWII). Churchill during WWII was a force to be reckoned with. He and FDR formed a powerful, menacing alliance that took the world and Hitler by storm. In The Gathering Storm, Finney did a fabulous job of embodying the Prime Minister, but there was always something a little too "regal" about him. I mean after all, it was Albert Finney under all of that make-up and the years of classical acting seemed to hinder the rough, brash Churchill exterior from coming all the way through. Here, in this film, Irish actor Brendan Gleeson does not have any problem being a true, unadulterated curmudgeon. Gleeson's performance is truly phenomenal…he's all fire and brimstone when he needs to be but in the scenes with Churchill and his wife Clemmie, Gleeson shine's as he lets slivers of Churchill's soft side peek out. All around, an excellent film about a traumatic time in history…and about the man who made sure Great Britain got though that trauma mostly unscathed.
When I saw Monster or The Queen, I felt like I had seen movies where the actors (in these cases, Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren respectively) embodied the persona of a real-life person. In La Vie en Rose Marion Cotillard takes it one step forward…she embodies the persona and the SOUL of the Edith Piaf. When I was watching this, I just became immersed with Piaf and this movie. I was in a trance…mesmerized in the performance. I had seen Cotillard in A Good Year, a romantic comedy in which she played the love interest to Russell Crowe. She was a striking, tall, stunningly beautiful woman with close-to-perfect features and almost an ethereal quality. In La Vie en Rose, she is truly Piaf…hunched over, small, course, and beautiful only the eyes of a few select people. What is beautiful, mostly, about Piaf, is her voice. Watching Cotillard, though, makes this short, awkward woman a striking person without an overabundance of physical beauty. Without adding any physical attributes to her, Cotillard brings out the inner beauty of Piaf…in both the depth of the fabulous performance and with the sparkle always shining through Piaf's eye whenever Cotillard is shown. The movie, itself, is a good deal too long and would be quite tedious if I were not memorized with the performance. I'm sure it could have benefited with some serious time in the editing room…as long as no scenes featuring Piaf were cut out. She's way too good to leave on the cutting room floor.
For a moment, I forgot I was watching a movie. It's more like a captivating documentary. The film takes place (with the exception of a small series of scenes at the beginning when Prime Minister Tony Blair first takes power) all within the span of one week in 1997…from the day Princess Diana died to the day she was buried. This film transported me back to this time and I felt as if I was watching the inner goings-on of the Royal Family and the Prime Minister…on CNN. Maybe one of the reasons for this docudrama feel is that Helen Mirren looks SO MUCH like Queen Elizabeth II in this movie. And, I imagine, the Queen acts pretty much like Mirren does…reserved, official, composed. But, the film itself is an intense piece of work…never dull or slow. I thought it would be tough to fill a whole film based on just one week's events but director Stephen Frears does a great job of keeping up the level of drama through fast-paced editing and through creating tenuous chemistry between the Queen and Blair. Their political relationship defines the film and keeps things moving. The Queen is a must-see! Hail, Elizabeth!
My soft spot for this one is that I love Beatrix Potter's books. And I'm heading to the English Lake District this year on vacation…hoping I will love it as much as I think I will. Aside from that, is this an accurate film of Potter's life? Um, not by a long shot. But, it is a charming, sweet film that, on its own, stands as a wonderful love story. Renee Zellweger again (as she does in the Bridget Jones movies) plays a great Brit — aside from perfecting the accent, she has the slightly aloof manner down pat. Here, she plays Potter as a woman ahead of her time…independent, aggressive, disobedient and defiant. If you're looking for a film to watch with the whole family, look no further. If you're looking to write a biographical report on Beatrix Potter, keep looking.
This is a hard movie to say I liked because it's such a hard film to watch. Much is made of the performance by Forest Whitaker as General Idi Amin (at the time I'm writing this, Whitaker has just been nominated for an Oscar – we'll find out soon if he wins or not). But, the film is much more than just Whitaker's brilliant performance. It's the story about a Scotsman who heads to Uganda after medical school because he doesn't seem to want to follow in his father's footsteps of a medical practice in Scotland. Once in Africa, he gets entangled with the newly appointed (self-appointed in a coup) Dictator Amin and becomes the General's personal physician. Once the Scotsman, Garrigan, finds out about Amin's brutality, it might be too late for him to escape. Powerful performances by Whitaker and James McAvoy as Garrigan make this film a must see for anyone who is interested in political dramas.
Hugh Grant playing Frederic Chopin??? When I found this out, I had to watch this film. And, Grant surprised me by pulling off the role of the fragile pianist with considerable ease. I bought him as Chopin, just as I bought the other characters in this subtly lavish film. Judy Davis plays unconventional 19th Century novelist George Sand, of whom then film revolves. Her relationships with men, especially Chopin, are chronicles here in a semi-farcical/semi-serious way. Knowing nothing about Sand's personal life, I was fascinated by her character. She is a true rebel for the day…wearing men's clothes and having open affairs with a variety of different men. The way the movie tells her story is by not exactly taking it all seriously and, on the same taken, not exactly poking fun of it. All in all, Sand, Chopin and all of the other 19th Century characters make this a fun, interesting look at the France in the mid-1800s.
Not being a Johnny Depp fan, I avoided Finding Neverland as long as I could. Based on recommendations of several people whose opinions I value, I finally caved. I am very infrequently surprised by films. This one surprised me more than any other film in 2004. I was expecting a stuffy, highfalutin film about an author and his life (I have to confess—I hadn't read any reviews to come to this opinion). Much to my chagrin, the film is not really about adults or adult problems (even though there are several adult issues). It is about children…being a child, holding on to your childhood as long as possible, never letting your child-like innocence and imagination go…etc. The film is based on the life of J.M Barrie, who was a semi-successful playwright in 1900s London…semi-successful only until he wrote the play Peter Pan. Depp plays Barrie in a very toned down way…quiet and introspective. We really never find out what's going on in Barrie's mind until it appears on stage through his plays. But, no offense to Mr. Depp, but the children steal this movie. Kate Winslet, as the widowed mother of four boys, including Barrie's Peter Pan inspiration, and even a small, comic-relief role by Dustin Hoffman do not bring as much joy to the film as the children do when they are on screen. These children provide Barrie with his inspiration and also provide this film with its heart.
Not knowing anything more about Maria Callas than that she was an internationally renowned opera sensation, I was particularly interested to see this one. Not really a biographical film, this movie, as it states in the blurb on the back of the DVD case, is director Franco Zeffirelli's interpretation of what Callas' last months might have been like if things had gone differently. But, I wondered differently how? After watching the film, I got the impression that even though Zeffirelli worked often with Callas, the film is more about what he personally would have liked Callas to do with her last days, instead of apparently what she did do…which was pretty much…well, nothing. The film is a glorious tribute to Callas as a singer and as a "diva." French actress Fanny Ardent does a great job of capturing both Callas' torment at the lost of her voice and the admiration she thrives off once she becomes "famous" again. This film is not especially for someone who does not like or have even a mild appreciate for opera since much of the movie revolves around Callas doing a film production of Bizet's Carmen. Of course, since Zeffirelli has directed many, many opera productions, he knows how to stage, light and shoot the musical parts. But even if you think you don't like opera, between Zeffirelli's beautiful direction and the sound of Callas' voice in its prime, you might just find that opera is one of your hidden loves. If any film can bring that passion out in you, this one can.
The Aviator is a good film. It is the kind of film that has epic qualities…large scope, vast landscapes, array of characters, historical, romance, action, drama…things that Lawrence of Arabia and more recently, Braveheart have. But, an epic by Martin Scorsese is guaranteed to have at least one other thing…quality. Basically a biopic of billionaire Howard Hughes in his early movie-making and piloting days, Scorsese choose Leonardo DiCaprio to play his Hughes…and even though my feelings are highly mixed on DiCaprio (basically, I don't like him as an actor), I admire how Scorsese uses DiCaprio in this film and the chances the actor takes with the role. Though DiCaprio is good, what makes this film a grand epic is the way Scorsese shot it. When Hughes is working on his Hell's Angels film, Scorsese is able to capture both of determination of Hughes and the danger of the stunts on the screen. Yet, when Hughes's character retreats into himself and shows the first stages of the recluse he will become in later years, Scorsese also captures that using his camera…the inner pain and turmoil of Howard jumps out at the audience, even though often there is no dialogue to indicate that. In recent years, Scorsese has steered away from making personal films about New York and/or Italian-Americans, such as his earlier works like Raging Bull, Mean Streets, and Goodfellas. Even 2002's The Gangs of New York, though about his hometown, felt less personal and more epic in scope. The Aviator might not be Scorsese at his best, but I would take his "epic" films any day of the week over some other films out there.
