My Confession
By Rick Rucker
To resist any longer, is silliness, I guess,
Because it is true, I might as well confess,
As I am hopelessly, and madly in Love with you,
And being by your side, is all I want to do,
My friends think that I should take it very slow,
But they do not know you, and how crazy you make me, so,
I hardly ever sleep at night,
To think of anything but you, takes all my might,
Just to kiss you, and hold your hand,
I am transported to a Magic Land!
One where all we have is Fun,
Anything I want to do, can be done,
Where my Heart can always soar,
For twenty four hours a day, or more!
I have found the Fountain of Youth,
It is you, to tell the Truth,
Now, I must find how to stay,
And make Love to you, throughout the day,
You have caused my spirits to leaven,
And shown me a prelude to Heaven!

Dozens of couples get married on 11/12/13
73 marriages performed at Bexar County Courthouse Tuesday
A total of 73 couples were married at the Bexar County Courthouse on Tuesday, giving them the special wedding date of Nov. 12, 2013 -- which, numerically, is 11/12/13.
According to numerologists, the numbers "11" and "2" are intuitive numbers, which could mean good things for a couple's relationship.
"It's just fun. We were going to get married anyways, but today just happened to be a fun day to get married," said Olivia Besker, a bride who was among the dozens who tied the knot on Tuesday.
Gerard Rickhoff, Bexar County clerk, said an average of 1,000 couples get married in Bexar County every month, so Tuesday was particularly busy.
"I personally don't believe in numerology," Rickhoff said. "But you know what the people have told me is they do believe in it. And they do come to the courthouse to get married on this significant day. It is 11/12/13 and it does mean something to people."
The next sequential calendar date, is Dec. 13, 2014, after which the pattern won't happen again until Jan. 2, 2103, some 90 years later.

Axe falls on British health care services, with restrictions on treatments for the sick and injured

Some of the most common operations — including hip replacements and cataract surgery — will be rationed as part of attempts to save billions of pounds, despite government promises that front-line services would be protected.
[Proposed cuts include:]
* Restrictions on some of the most basic and common operations, including hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and orthodontic procedures.
* Plans to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from budgets for the terminally ill, with dying cancer patients to be told to manage their own symptoms if their condition worsens at evenings or weekends.
* The closure of nursing homes for the elderly.

Bobbi Kristina Brown was in a car accident in in Alpharetta, Georgia yesterday. She was in the passenger seat of her boyfriend, Nick Gordon's black 2012 Camaro when it happened. He was driving, and TMZ has the pictures of the bashed-in car and it's nasty central. Not exactly a good omen for the couple, who don't seem to be the most well adjusted people around. And by that we mean Nick who likes to drive around with a gun in his hand. And let's not even get into the fact that her adopted brother is now her boyfriend. We still don't know what happened as the details are still emerging but luckily, it's being said that no one was injured and their's was the only car involved in the accident. The updates so far are that the couple were arguing right before it happened, although we're not certain about what the "it" is. All we know is that their car has lost its "front right tire, the front bumper was torn off, and the airbags were deployed." The reason that this came to light was because the police visited their apartment because of a noise complaint and saw the car outside as it had its hazard lights on. How the hell did it even get to their place with all the damage? And what's the deal with this noise complaint? If the couple were arguing before the accident, did their fight escalate after their car slammed into whatever it slammed into? We'll keep you posted as and when we hear more news.

I saw the Lifestyle Lift commercials for a year. One day I decided to make the big leap and get my turkey neck and jowls removed. I went to the Ft.

They were helpful front the start, if I had a question they answered... more
"Lifestyle Lift - Fort Lauderdale, FL"
I had a very good experience and very good attention from the LifestyleLift staff and doctor. I went to them because they specialized in face lift instead of shopping around for other doctors with big egos.

"Great Results - West Palm Beach, FL"
Hated my 70 yo sagging skin so decided to do something about it and so pleased I did it. The worst part of the whole procedure was the local anaesthetic which I found very painful and the first 24 hours post op was also painful because of neck pain but after that it was a breeze. Minimal bruising, mainly on throat area. It has lifted my self esteem tremendously. more
My husband and I are in our mid-70's, but he looks quite a bit younger than I. After seeing the ads on TV, he asked me if I would like to do the Lifestyle Facelift and said he would give it to me as a gift! Although the procedure is a bit rough, the results are well worth it. In the process, my doctor removed and sent away to a lab a small growth on my upper lip that turned out to be... more

I started to do my homework & a facelift... more

I had a LSL on April 30 - 8 weeks ago - and I do look pretty good. But, I tried to make an appointment for my final check up as I am still experiencing a lot of tingling and numbness - and the pulling sensation behind my ears is a problem for me. However, I was told that the doctor (who I liked) "is no longer with us". I asked if I could see Dr. C. instead and was told "he is leaving too"... more

I looked better before i had it done. now the pulling gives me headaches and my ears are butchered. also the ears look deformed because they curl up. i have had cortisone shots to try and help but it hasn't - even one year later.

"Lifestyle Lift Very Visable Scars!"
I really wish I would have read these comments before I had the procedure. I would not reccomend this to anyone. I had my procedure two years ago and I now look just like I did when I went in.

It's no secret that Toyota is planning on building a sports coupe in conjunction with Subaru; in fact, the automaker has already given us a sneak peek of the car with the FT-86 concept. It seems, however, that the two-door is moving closer to production, as the company plans on showing the FT-86 II concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March.
According to Toyota, "the FT-86 II concept will give the clearest indication yet of the final design for Toyota's next sports car." Precisely what that means remains to be seen, but this rendering does suggest the concept receives headlamps and a front fascia resembling those used on the Lexus LFA supercar.
Toyota hasn't divulged any powertrain details on the new concept, but it's unlikely they'll differ significantly from the original show car. If that's the case, the engine will likely be a Subaru-sourced, 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer-four, similar to that used in the Impreza line. The previous FT-86 mated that engine with a six-speed manual transmission, which then sent power to the rear wheels.
For now, all we can surmise is the FT-86 II concept will be our best look yet at Toyota's forthcoming production model. Expect more details to emerge closer to the Geneva Motor Show, where, interestingly enough, Subaru plans on unveiling its version of this co-developed coupe at the same venue.

Spyro Gyra brings its smooth soundsWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
When it comes to Grammy Awards and Spyro Gyra, Jay Beckenstein has a sense of humor.
"I'm starting to think of us as the Susan Lucci of jazz," said the saxophonist. "But Susan Lucci finally won one, so I guess we're not Susan Lucci."
Even though Beckenstein and company were shut out for the 10th and 11th time for their 26th release, "Good to Go-Go," which received two nominations last year, the group and the daytime soap opera star have something in common — staying power.
Spyro Gyra's fusion of jazz, funk, pop and R&B flows on. The band founded by Beckenstein and keyboardist Jeremy Wall in the mid-1970s continues to create with different lineups over the years. The two began playing in a bar in Buffalo, N.Y., and were joined by various musicians during Tuesday Night Jazz Jams. Keyboardist Tom Schuman became a regular. The club owner pressed the guys for a name to put on a new sign. Beckenstein, a former biology major in college, jokingly offered spirogyra.
"It's an algae," he said. "Spirogyra is very, very pretty under a microscope, but in our world, it just turns the pool green."
The bar owner misspelled the moniker — and it stuck.
"To me, our music has always been very upbeat and energetic, and spirogyra — take the algae out of it — it sounds like an onomatopoeia for movement."
Beckenstein, Schuman, guitarist Julio Fernandez, bass player Scott Ambush and percussionist Bonny Bonaparte will bring Spyro Gyra to the River Raisin Centre for the Arts in Monroe, Mich., at 7:30 p.m. May 2 with special guest Shelby Brown. General admission tickets are $25 for adults, $40 for couples, $22 for seniors and $15 for students.
Beckenstein answered some questions while driving on the Palisades Interstate Parkway home to New York.
Toledo Free Press: Spyro Gyra is such a prolific band — are you working on a new disc?
Beckenstein: We're just finishing up a new Christmas record ["A Night Before Christmas"]. We did an acoustic, straight-ahead jazz Christmas album, like old-fashioned, almost 1950, and I love it. Right after we finish that, we go back into the studio, back into writing mode, for another CD that we're going to put out next year.
TFP: You've said you like jazz because of the freedom, that it allows you to mix musical elements.
Beckenstein: I think starting from its very inception, when we were in our 20s and this thing was being born, we had so many great musical influences. We grew up when there was Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor and The Beatles, John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley and Tito Puente. It was a very rich and eclectic era. And so when it came time for us to make music, we had grown up — all of us as musicians — with this enormous palette of styles. And speaking for myself, I never thought, well, jazz is hipper than The Beatles or The Beatles were hipper than jazz; they were both fabulous musical manifestations, right along with Stravinsky and Beethoven. So it was natural when we made music that it would be this big collage of styles. In establishing that, we did ourselves a big favor in that we established the right to do anything we want.
TFP: Talk a bit about the writing process — what inspires you?
Beckenstein: More often than not, my writing starts with playing piano for myself alone. I entertain myself — when I'm sad I play piano; when I'm happy I play piano. I just improvise and noodle and just enjoy myself, and every now and then some little idea pops up by accident that's the kernel to a composition. … In terms of what inspires me — I've had tunes that were definitely inspired by events — every one of my daughters has a tune — and there's been places that inspire me … but more often than not, it's my moods more than anything else.
TFP: What do you want fans to take away from your music?
In terms of the live show, we have such a darn good time with each other. The band is always up there enjoying themselves, and I think it's very infectious, and that's what the audiences tell us afterwards is the thing they love the most is how we love what we were doing.

Ontario Hockey League Game Day Previews for Friday Feb 24 2012
2 for 2 last night in my predictions – Icedogs won by a larger margin that predicted and Barrie was pushed into overtime before coming away with the win vs. Peterborough. Today all teams are in action so we'll do a rapid fire format on all the games with some tidbits here and there. Really tight at the bottom of the Eastern Conference now - Mississauga, Oshawa and Peterborough all have 57 points and Belleville is close behind with 55 points.
Sault Ste Marie at Erie
The Greyhounds are looking to rebound after a dismal 7-1 showing at Niagara last night. Fritsch had the lone goal (powerplay) . The Hounds are only 1 point ahead of the struggling Guelph Storm for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference (probably vs. London in the first round). Erie has been playing better hockey lately – a 4-1 victory in Belleville on Monday and scoring 3 goals at Kingston have been recent bright spots. Backup goalie D Williams was on fire 2 weeks ago – he should see some action this weekend. There has been a lot of talk swirling around regarding this team relocating to Hamilton ON ... time will tell.
My prediction Sault Ste Marie 4 Erie 2
Windsor at Sarnia
The depleted Sarnia squad continues to struggle with injuries. Their latest character-type game was in overtime at Owen Sound. They dropped the game 4-3 but were still able to gather 1 point despite being outshot 41-29. Spooner, Yakupov and Alberga scored in that game. Rookie Deangelo with his second career OHL fight as well. The Sting are tied for fourth with the Attack (65 pts). Windsor is back a few spots at 56 points comfortably in 7th spot in the conference. Windsor's away record in the past 10 is 5-5-0-0 whereas Sarnia's home record in the past 10 is a solid 7-3-0-0.
My prediction Windsor4 Sarnia 3
Oshawa at Plymouth
Oshawa is involved in the logjam in the Eastern Conference (see note above) but their 5-5 record in their past 10 games and losing their last 2 games will need to be improved to secure that spot. Their last 2 games were 5-1 and 6-1 drubbings at the hands of the surging Barrie Colts. The penalty box should see lots of action since these are 2 of the top 4 most penalized teams in the league. Plymouth has only won 5 of their last 10 games. Their last 2 games were an a 8-1 pasting at the hands of the lowly Guelph Storm and a 5-1 loss vs. the Attack (both on home ice). The Wolves come into town Saturday to finish the Whalers light schedule this weekend.
My prediction Oshawa 3 Plymouth 4 (OT)
Sudbury at Saginaw
Sudbury starts their Western road trip with a stop in to tangle with the Spirit. The Wolves sit comfortably in fifth place in the Eastern Conference – 5 points behind Barrie and 9 points ahead of the logjam behind them (see note above). The Wolves may have some of their missing 7 regulars from their lineup due to injuries. To pick up the slack, team leader Michael Sgarbossa has been on fire – collecting 12 goals and 9 assists in 9 games this month – 3rd in league scoring and OHL Player of the week. Should be interesting to see how he does against his former team. Saginaw is also comfortable in the middle of the pack of the Western Conference – they are in 6th place 4 points behind Owen Sound/Sarnia and 5 points ahead of the Spitfires. Their last 2 wins were against those teams that are just ahead of them in the standings (W 6-2 vs. Sarnia and W 4-2 vs. Owen Sound). Lots of action around the arena this weekend –including a live jersey auction at the end of their games.
My prediction Sudbury 2 Saginaw 4
Belleville at Brampton
The Bulls are in the Eastern logjam (see note above) and make a quick trip into Brampton for tonight's contest (they are at home to London tomorrow night). Last weekend they were more cold than hot – losing to Ottawa 8-1 winning big against Mississauga 8-3 before being embarrassed 4-1 vs. Erie (3 first period goals). Brampton continues to find their legs as they have rebounded from a horrible losing streak with 4 straight wins. Sam Carrick has 6 goals in his last 5 games. Second leading scorer Barclay Goodrow has been suspended for 3 games for his checking from behind penalty vs. the Wolves (Sgarbossa).
My prediction Belleville 2 Brampton 3
Owen Sound at Guelph
Owen Sound is coming off an emotional overtime win vs. the depleted Sarnia Sting squad. Gilbert had the winner in overtime. The Attack are tied in the standings with Sarnia at 65 points. Don't look now but the defending champs have the best record in the Western Conference in the past 10 games. The Attack will be returning home late tonight to prepare for the Rangers Saturday night. Captain Halmo leads the team in all offensive categories so if he can be kept 'in check' Guelph has a chance. Last weekend they had a seesaw experience with a home loss to Sarnia 4-2 then a robust 9-1 win at Plymouth followed by a humbling 6-1 loss at home vs. Kitchener. Guelph trails Sault Ste Marie by one point for the final playoff spot despite only winning 2 games in their past 10.
Both teams conclude the season with a home/series against each other.
My prediction Owen Sound 5 Guelph 2
London at Kingston
The #1 Knights start their Eastern road trip with a stop at the K-Rock Centre in Kingston. Should be interesting how the fans receive Domi - the former first round pick of the Fronts who would not report and was traded to the Knights. Harrington returns from injury and is from the area as well. Jan 13 the Fronts beat the Knights in London 4-1. Sarnia beat London Monday night 6-2 ... the Knights have not lost back to back games all season. Kingston continues to play strong hockey even though it appears they will not be playing in the postseason (not official yet). A lot of attention has been given to the two newest players to the Fronts – Billy Jenkins and Ryan Kujawinski (both have 10 points each this month). After this game the team travels to Erie for Saturday and then to Niagara to finish the weekend.
My prediction London 6 Kingston 2
Peterborough at Kitchener
Peterborough lost last night at home vs. the Colts in a shootout. The Petes trailed 3-1 early in the third period before they tied things up with a late powerplay goal by L. Martschini. The Petes are fighting it out for playoff entry (see note above). The Petes next game is at home vs. Belleville on Sunday afternoon. Kitchener is comfortably in third place in the Western Conference – they can only move up in the standings if they overtake London (9 point differential with 12 games remaining). Last weekend they lost to Barrie (5-3) and London (5-1) before defeating the struggling Guelph Storm (6-1). M Catenacci has 19 points in 9 games this month.
My prediction Peterborough1 Kitchener 4
Niagara at Mississauga
The Icedogs easily handled the Greyhounds at home last night 7-1. F Hamilton scored the 100th goal of his career. Niagara reclaims overall #1 in the Eastern Conference by 1 point over Ottawa. When these teams last played it was an embarrassing 11-0 win in favour of the Icedogs. Mississauga is in a real battle near the bottom of the conference – they are involved in the 3 way tie (see intro note above). After this game the Majors visit a tough Barrie squad and then host the Otters to finish the weekend.
My prediction Niagara 5 Mississauga 1
Barrie at Ottawa
Barrie continues their Eastern Ontario road trip this weekend after they were pushed into overtime at Peterborough eventually winning 4-3. Telegin had 2 goals in regulation as well as the overtime winner. This scrappy game had three fighting majors. The Colts continue to inch closer to Brampton and are only trailing by 1 point now for the #3 spot in the Eastern Conference. The 67's were leapfrogged by the Icedogs last night and are now in second place overall in that conference. Ottawa has won 7 of their last 10 home games – Barrie has also won 7 of their last 10 road games.
My prediction Barrie 4 Ottawa 3

The Hon. Judge Lucy Koh orders Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to disclose more details about its financials, including detailed profit statements for certain products. Apple is appealing the order, wanting the data to remain sealed.
The idea is that for the Court to award damages based on lost profits, it needs to know what the actual profits are.
On the one hand, it could be argued that good democracy and the rule of law needs such information to be made public.
On The Other Hand, Apple argues that the information is extremely commercially sensitive. Judge Lucy Koh (pictured) disagrees.
Joe Mullin reports the story:
Koh denied Apple's request to seal a variety of documents tied to its financial performance…that would bolster Apple's arguments for more damages. … Apple is looking for an extra $535 million in damages in addition to the $1.05 billion awarded by the jury.
Samsung, meanwhile, wants a new trial, and claims that the jury foreman wasn't truthful. … Koh said that Apple can't use its financial data…to win remedies…while also keeping the information secret from the public. … A separate brief arguing for upholding Koh's decision…was filed by the Reporters' Committee for the Freedom of the Press.
And Lance Whitney adds detail:
Koh has ordered Apple to go public with…its sales, earnings, and profit margins on the iPhone. … Apple [says] revealing such information would benefit its competitors. But apparently Koh didn't buy that.
Koh presided over the recent patent case between Apple and Samsung in which the latter was…ordered to pay penalties of more than $1 billion. … Samsung is seeking a whole new trial, claiming that the verdict was tainted.
But Bryan M. Wolfe asks a Frequently Asked Question:
Apple is a public company. … I'm not sure what type of defense the company can offer. … In fact, I'm surprised they weren't made public during the course of the trial.
So Tim Worstall makes the distinction for us:
We know how much profit Apple makes [from] the published accounts. But we don't know how much it makes on which products. … Apple can only claim damages…of the amount of profit that it has lost [which is] product specific.
But if the ruling stands (and there's [few] reasons why it shouldn't) then they'll either have to reveal…or give up on the idea of claiming damages.
What's the big deal? David Woodburn explains:
Financial information from publicly traded companies is made available…every quarter. Yes, but this file is different…this is very detailed information…that is very specific to each model, including profit margin, units, revenue, profits and cost data.
Apple Inc. maintains that this information constitutes a trade secret and should be protected as such. … Investors like billionaire fund manager David Einhorn…might be interested to look inside the numbers, no?
Meanwhile, Alan T.F. waxes cynical:
It's more likely that Apple will first wait to see if the case is going to mistrial or has a strong chance of Appeal before they disclose any sensitive financial information. …this is only the beginning. Is it worth receiving $1B (less expenses) if you have to disclose how you made $50B? Doubtful.
Regardless, I don't think Apple will disclose their financial details. Either this matter will be postponed…or, heaven help us, a settlement between the parties will take place and the Drama will end.

QUEENSBURY Warren County leaders voted July 20 to apply for a $700,000 grant to buy land and easements east of the county airport's secondary runway to meet Federal Aviation Administration mandates, but one local politician questioned the expenditure of taxpayer money.
Queensbury supervisor-at-Large Mark Westcott contended that such a sum shouldn't be spent on accommodating a backup runway.
"I'm supportive of keeping county airport in business, but I have serious reservations about the money," he said. "The airport has operated successfully for decades without the purchase of land."
But county Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson countered that for years, the county had been on notice from the FAA that it needed to eliminate hazards — mainly trees — near the runway. Tennyson said that if the county did not make progress in meeting the FAA mandates, the agency could force the county to shorten the runway. The measure passed with all supervisors but Westcott voting for it.
In other business, the county leaders:
• Approved drafting a contract with Edward Zibro to lease the Warren County Fairgrounds in 2013 for the Warrensburg Bike Rally, with an option to return for five years — subject to annual endorsement by the county and town of Warrensburg. The rally is held before and during the annual Americade rally, generally the first week in June. Queensbury at-large supervisor David Strainer called for the contract to include specific dates for the rally rather than vague terms, so the agreement wouldn't deter others from reserving the facilities.
"The fairgrounds are a great asset, and they are totally underutilized," he said.
• Authorized an agreement with Washington County to provide backup emergency dispatch services in case of an outage. The Warren County supervisors decided to pursue the agreement after Verizon recently demanded $249,000 from the county for software and hardware upgrades for their in-house backup 911 system that Verizon engineered but said they'd no longer support without the upgrades.

Dating When You Have "Baggage"
When we look at "baggage" literally it implies to something that you carry all the time just to carry your things. But when we apply this concept to building relationships, these baggages are responsibilities in our own lives that may keep us away from entering a relationship. In this article, we shall see how dating happens when you have these so called "baggage."
We can also explain baggage for it to be life itself because if you don't live life accepting these baggages you might be living a lonely life. A form of handling these baggages is through dating, wherein you can find that someone that would accept the wholeness of you. But sometimes, these baggages are becoming reasons for someone to have a fear in entering a relationship because there might be no person there that would accept therm. Some baggages that might be a hindrance to finding that someone for you are your ex's, children, mortgage and many more. These are the things and people you cannot avoid at all; when it comes to your ex's, they should be a person in the past such that you will be more effective in finding that special person.
Having these types of baggages influences the level of our confidence to ourselves and will eventually affect the way we approach the opposite sex when we find ourselves needing that match that would complete us. Most of the people having these kinds are senior dating wherein they have too much baggages in their life basically because they have experienced a lot.
These baggages should not be treated as if they can stop you from seeking that one that would be your partner in your life. Most of the people might not understand you with these things you are responsible of but if they are ready to accept you with all you got, that would be true love indeed. Just think positive that you would find that one just for you.
Some people believe that the over fifties should not be considering dating or relationships as they have no need for pro-creating. This is rubbish and a very outdated idea. Statistics show that forty nine per cent of people of the age of fifty are now single. Why would they want to spend the next possible forty years or so alone? Why should they? There is obviously a whole section of society that need company and they are actively changing that with senior dating.
5 Responses to "Dating When You Have "Baggage""
Indeed the responsability of another " baggage" it's not esy at all, living in 2 it makes you take more responsabilities, you have to accept the person near you as it is, in good or bad.
Thank you for giving these good, healthy, explanatory and even fun tips on that topic.
wonderful points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?
What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that arrive from nowhere that Im fairly certain Id have a fair shot. Your blog is wonderful visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed together with your generic understanding of this subject.
I enjoy you because of all of your effort on this site. Its been an motivation for me. I've passed this onto a friend of mine.

Up to [DragonFly] / src / sys / net / ipfw
Request diff between arbitrary revisions
Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN
Remove MSGF_PRIORITY support. The flag testing and message queue selection on the hot code path introduce noticeable performance regression during ip forwarding (from 667Kpps to 655Kpps w/ 64bytes packet and fastforwarding enabled on Phenom 9550).
- Use priority message to carry out ipfw callout. - Mark the callout message with DROPABLE flag, so we don't need to do additional netmsg_service_sync() in module event function and the callout function itself could much straightforward.
Schedule ipfw_tick() to IPFW_CFGPORT to run, this function is too time consuming and complex to run in callout thread. Use MPSAFE callout after above change.
If the current thread is not a network thread then rejecting the packet back into netisrX when it becomes eligible. Add comment about possible situation that the current thread is not a network thread.
Add PFIL_MPSAFE flag to give hint to pfil(9) that the underlying firewall code is MPSAFE. Set this flag for ipfw(4).
Instead of rejecting the eligible packet back into the correct cpu, dummynet(4) now reinjects the eligible packet back into correct network thread.
Update comment
Check ipfw static rules generation after get the BGL
- Remove unnecessary crit sections - Remove no longer applied comment
Factor out ipfw_match_uid(), put it under BGL explicitly
Fix stack variable names inheritted from ip_{input,output}()
- Rework ipfw(4) debug print macro - Add IPFIREWALL_DEBUG option
Header inclusion
mycpu->gd_cpuid -> mycpuid
SYSCTL_NODE is always defined
Bump ipfw static rules generation when set/clear IPFW_FULE_F_STATE to avoid possible races if network thread slept on dyn_lock (e.g. to install state)
We always wait during pfil hook's adding and removing; we could not afford to fail upon these operations.
Move ipfw(4) code for ip_{input,output}() into ip_fw2.c to create in/out pfil hooks for AF_INET pfil head. During ipfw(4) module loading, ipfw(4) pfil hooks will be added to AF_INET pfil head, only if fw_enable is 1. ipfw(4) pfil hooks could be added and deleted from AF_INET pfil head dynamicly by setting net.inet.ip.fw.enable (1 to add, 0 to delete)
Add a place holder sysctl function to enable and disable ipfw(4)
- Let caller of ip_fw_dn_io_ptr call ip_dn_queue(), so that callers have the chance to save additional information to dummynet tag (e.g. ip_output) - In ip_{input,output}(), call ip_dn_queue() outside of ipfw(4) processing code block - Move saving dst, ro and flags from ipfw_dummynet_io() to ip_output() - Remove unused fields in ip_fw_args - Update comment
- ipfw(4) does not need opt_ipdn.h and opt_ipdivert.h - Use BUILDING_WITH_KERNEL in module Makefile - Make ipfw(4) building depends on opt_inet.h and opt_ipfw.h
Let ipfw_chk() return IP_FW_{PASS,DENY,DUMMYNET,TEE,DIVERT} and the caller proceeds according to the return value in well strutured switch block. The additional information related to the return value (e.g. pipe/queue number of IP_FW_DUMMYNET) is saved in ip_fw_args.cookie. Idea-from: FreeBSD
Prepare to make IPDIVERT transparent to ip reassemble code: Include more information in divert mbuf tag
Grrr, forward address is in network byte order
Don't allow multicast address to be used as the target address of a transparent forwarding rule.
Save 'ipfw forward' information in mtag, use m_pkthdr.fw_flags to indicate that this mtag exists (mainly to avoid unnecessary mtag locating). This actually eliminates the last reference to MT_TAG mbuf; nuke it completely.
- Correct 'forward' support - Move comment to the proper place
- Rename ifa_{domsg,forwardmsg}() to ifnet_{domsg,forwardmsg}() - Inline ifa_{domsg,forwardmsg}(); let them call ifnet_{domsg,forwardmsg}() - Use ifnet_{domsg,forwardmsg}() in ipfw(4)
Pass cpuid to ifa_domsg()
ipfw(4) parallelize stage 1, step 2/2: per-CPU static rule lists See the comment at the beginning of net/ipfw/ip_fw2.c for detailed description.
- Group together the declaration of static rule related global variables - Add comment
Though following code sequence is safe currently (even w/o BGL): if (ipfw_dyn_v != NULL) { lockmgr(&dyn_lock, LK_...); /* accessing ipfw_dyn_v */ lockmgr(&dyn_lock, LK_RELEASE) } it will be better for us to guard against future code changes by using: if (ipfw_dyn_v != NULL) { lockmgr(&dyn_lock, LK_...); if (ipfw_dyn_v != NULL) { /* accessing ipfw_dyn_v */ } lockmgr(&dyn_lock, LK_RELEASE) }
Don't allow set 1 or 0 to dyn_buckets
ipfw(4) parallelize stage 1, step 1/2: lock dynamic rule table - Looking up dynamic rule is protected by shared lockmgr lock, add comment in the dynamic rule description comment section. Following related changes are made: o In lookup_dyn_rule(), don't try to delete expired states or move the state to the head of hash bucket. o Expired states will be reaped in ipfw_tick(). Exclusive lockmgr lock is held when iterating dynamic rules in ipfw_tick(). - Installing and deleting dynamic rules are protected by exclusive lockmgr lock. - Add lookup_rule(), which returns static rule ptr saved in dynamic rule. This function is added mainly because accessing dynamic rule outside of lockmgr lock is unsafe. - Add static ruleset generation, so that we could check whether static ruleset was changed or not after blocking operation (e.g. try to hold lockmgr lock) during static ruleset iteration. If static ruleset was changed, the static rulset iteration would be terminated and the packet being checked would be denied/dropped without further static rule accessing (e.g. stats updating). - Add sysctl functions to make sure that user supplied values are in sane state.
- Use sysctl_int_range() for autoinc_step - Assert instead snaphot of autoinc_step is within range, instead of adjust it.

Introduce dynamic rule hash array generation, so that after possible blocking packet sending we could know that the dynamic rule hash array was changed and reiterate. This is *necessary* even if BGL is still used.
- Use NULL - White space
- Make dynamic rule allocation non-blocking - Make dynamic rule hash array allocaion non-blocking Old behaviour of the hash array allocation is changed in following aspects: o Old hash array is freed only if new hash array allocation succeed o Old hash array is reused, if the allocation makes the hash array size less than the old one After this change, the static rules iteration is non-blocking, so we will not have trouble to duplicate static rules (using netmsg forwarding) on all CPUs. # send_reject() called in the rule iteration may block, but it is the last step # in the rule iteration, so we don't need to worry about it.
- Add macro for cpu_portfn(0), on which all ipfw configuration should happen - Add assertion macro to make sure a msgport is IPFW_CFGPORT
- ipfw_add_rule will never fail - Make sure that ipfw_add_rule happens on CPU0 - Save a snapshot of autoinc_step, so sysctl will not interfering rule number assignment - Add comment
Assert that static rules' count is only updated on CPU0

Unbreak kernel building. Dragonfly-bug: <http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issue1097>
Dispatch ipfw control to netisr0. To avoid possible dangling netmsg handler, create ip_fw2_glue.c, which will be built if inet is built. IPFW_LOADED is checked again after netmsg's handler is running, since ipfw unload netmsg may be processed before this ipfw control netmsg.
Use seperate variable to indicate whether ipfw has been loaded or not, so that following way could be used to protect various ipfw function pointers: ip_fw_loaded = 0; netmsg_service_sync(); /* clear all ipfw function pointers */
- Dispatch ipfw loading/unloading to netisr0 - Minor style changes
- Staticize ip_fw_default_rule - Remove old comment about ip_fw_default_rule; it no longer apples. ip_fw_default_rule has only served bookkeeping purpose for a long time.
Since either hardware or ether input code will strip packet's vlan tag, before the packet could reach ether level ipfw filtering, we will have to change the packet's ether type to VLAN, if the packet was vlan tagged, so ipfw could see the correct packet mac-type.
do early copyin / delayed copyout for socket options
Parallelize in_ifaddrhashtbl
Parallelize ifnet.if_addrhead accessing by duplicating the list itself on each CPU, each list element points to ifaddr: - Add SI_SUB_PRE_DRIVERS before SI_SUB_DRIVERS, so action could be taken before drivers' initialization (mainly before NIC driver's if_attach()) - Move netisr_init() to the FIRST of SI_SUB_PRE_DRIVERS, so that netmsg_service_port_init() could be called in earlier stage of system initialization. - Create one thread on each CPU to propagate changes to ifnet.if_addrhead. Their thread ports are registered with netmsg_service_port_init() for port syncing operation. - Change to ifnet.if_addrhead begins in netisr0, i.e. serial of changes to ifnet.if_addrhead are serialized by netisr0 - ifaddr's refcnt is moved to its list elements, i.e. per-CPU refcnt. They are initialized to 1 instead of 0. - A magic field is added to ifaddr list element to make sure that IFAREF and IFAFREE are called on valid ifaddr list element. This field is initialized to a magic value and is wiped out once the list element's refcnt drops to 0 - To close the gap between testing and freeing, once the ifaddr list element's refcnt drops to 0, ifa_portfn(0) (a thread's port on CPU0) is poked to check whether ifaddr is referenced on other CPUs, if not, then ifaddr is freed on ifa_portfn(0) Reviewed-by: dillon@ (earlier version)
Generalize PF_MBUF_GENERATED mbuf firewall flag
Make sure that the mbuf contains pkthdr.

In this way, dummynet descriptor and its associated mbuf could be dispatched to different thread for further processing. - Add packet filter private data and private data unreference function pointer in dummynet descriptor. - All of the dummynet descriptor is allocated and filled by packet filter (only ipfw(4) currently), so things like route entry reference is updated on the CPU to which it belongs. - All packets are dispatched to netisr on CPU ip_dn_cpu to be queued on the target flow queue. Netisr on CPU ip_dn_cpu is also where various dummynet events got processed. - DUMMYNET_LOADED is not checked before dispatching a packet; it is checked in netisr before the packet is handed to dummynet. This paves the way for step 2/2. - ip_{output,input}/ether_{demux,output_frame} is no longer called directly in dummynet, they are called after packet dispatched back to the originator CPU, so that ip_input() will be called on the same CPU (as determined by ip_mport()) and things like route entry reference will be updated on the CPU to which it belongs. - If the packet is to be dispatched back to ip_output(), the recorded route entry is checked to make sure that it is still up. - Dummynet discriptor and its associated mbuf is freed on their originator CPU. - Reference count the ipfw(4) rule if it is going to be associated with a dummynet descriptor, so we would not have a dangling rule pointer if the rule was deleted when the dummynet descriptor was in transit state. Suggested-by: dillon@ - If ipfw(4) is compiled and loaded as module, reference count the ipfw(4) module usage, if a rule is associated with a dummynet descriptor. - Add net/dummynet/ip_dummynet_glue.c, which contains various netisr dispatch function. This file will be compiled into kernel if 'options INET' is set, so that we will not have a dangling function pointer in transitting dummynet descriptor. - Add DUMMYNET_MBUF_TAGGED mbuf fw_flag, which may be used later. - Nuke dummynet's dependency on ipfw(4).
- Use hash table for pipes and flow set, which accelerates flow set looking up in dummynet_io(). This should be fast enough so that we don't need to cache the searching result in ipfw(4) pipe/queue rule's pipe_ptr field. This also further decouples dummynet(4) and ipfw(4). - Nuke flush_pipe_ptrs() after above change. - Use queue(3) for linked list.
Use POSIX int type
In free_chain() if we are asked to "kill default": - Set default rule pointer to NULL - Free dynamic rules(states) hash table. This avoids memory leakage when unloading ipfw(4) module, if dynamic rules(states) are created.
- Create user land ipfw(4) rule/state/flow_id structures, so that we could change kernel land structures without interfering user land programs (mainly ipfw(8)) Approved-by: dillon@ - Add assertion to make sure that static rules size/count and dynamic rules count are correct
Factor out ipfw_dec_static_count(); add assertion in it to make sure that static_{count,len} are correct.
- Add ipfw_init_default_rule() to perform default rule initialization - In add_rule(), nuke special handling for default rule - Factor out ipfw_inc_static_count() These could ease upcoming user/kernel land ipfw structures splitting
realloc_dynamic_table() and add_dyn_rule() may be called from interrupt thread and TCP/UDP thread, so instead of M_WAITOK, (M_INTWAIT | M_NULLOK) should be used.
- M_WAITOK will never return NULL - White space
Move ipfw/dummynet from SI_SUB_PSEUDO to SI_SUB_PROTO_END, so they could use services provided by netisr. Submitted-by: Nicolas Thery <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- m_tag_get() expects MB_DONTWAIT not M_NOWAIT - Utilize MBTOM() in m_tag_alloc()
Switch ipfw from ipfw1 to ipfw2. Approved-by: dillon@ Submitted-by: Gary Allan <firstname.lastname@example.com> (w/ modification)
Rename printf -> kprintf in sys/ and add some defines where necessary (files which are used in userland, too).
Rename sprintf -> ksprintf Rename snprintf -> knsprintf Make allowances for source files that are compiled for both userland and the kernel.
rename sscanf -> ksscanf rename vsscanf -> kvsscanf rename fnmatch -> kfnmatch rename qsort -> kqsort
Avoid casts as lvalues. Taken-from: FreeBSD
Rename malloc->kmalloc, free->kfree, and realloc->krealloc. Pass 2
Rename malloc->kmalloc, free->kfree, and realloc->krealloc. Pass 1
Rename functions to avoid conflicts with libc.
Remove OLDBRIDGE
MFC: Add a new flag in pkthdr.fw_flag for ipfw2 so as not to abuse mbuf flag.
Add a new flag in pkthdr.fw_flag for ipfw2 so as not to abuse mbuf flag. We use bit14 of mbuf flag as M_EXT_CLUSTER, which is not supposed to be set without M_EXT, so abusing this bit resulted in a panic in m_free(). Suggested-by: joerg@ Ok: dillon@
Abstract out the location of an m_tag's data by adding a m_tag_data() inline. Replace all instances of 'mtag + 1' with the new inline. Fix numerous bugs, mainly in ipfw/ipfw2, where the m_tag data was being stored in the wrong place and corrupting the m_tag, resulting in a panic. This primarily occured with the use of divert rules. Reported-by: Ben Woolley <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Convert to critical sections.
Switch IP divert from mbuf based tagging to mbuf tags. This patch is meant to keep the old semantic, the divert handling can be pushed down in most places later.
Remove a superfluous (and incorrect due to the recent callout changes) bzero() call.
timeout/untimeout ==> callout_*
Change mbug allocation flags from M_ to MB_ to avoid confusion with malloc flags. Requested by: Jeffrey Hsu
M_NOWAIT -> M_WAITOK or M_INTWAIT conversions. There is a whole lot of net code that is improperly using M_NOWAIT. Also remove now unneeded NULL checks since malloc will panic rather then return NULL when M_NULLOK is not set. Use M_INTWAIT|M_NULLOK in some cases (such as route table allocation) in order to allow malloc to return NULL when the limit for the malloc type is reached.
Merge: FreeBSD (RELENG_4) ip_fw2.c rev. 188.8.131.52 IN_MULTICAST wants an address in host byte order.
Use local cpu tcbinfo
Adjust IPFW to use M_WAITOK instead of M_NOWAIT. The M_NOWAIT flag on DragonFly is very explicit about its behavior, which can result in a panic. Only spl protected calls are using M_NOWAIT. Submitted by: Craig Dooley <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Move <machine/in_cksum.h> to <sys/in_cksum.h>. This file is now platform independant. If we want to add extreme machine specialization later on then sys/in_cksum.h will #include machine/in_cksum.h. Move i386/i386/in_cksum.c to netinet/in_cksum.c. Note that netinet/in_cksum.c already existed but was not used by the build system at all. The move overwrites it. The new in_cksum.c is a portable, complete rewrite which references core assembly (procedure call) to do 32-bit-aligned work. See also i386/i386/in_cksum2.s.
Add __DragonFly__
if_xname support Part 2/2: Convert remaining netif devices and implement full support for if_xname. Restructure struct ifnet in net/if_var.h, pulling in a few minor additional changes from current including making if_dunit an int, and making if_flags an int. Submitted-by: Max Laier <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Fix IPFW2 build. Submitted by: firstname.lastname@example.com
kernel tree reorganization stage 1: Major cvs repository work (not logged as commits) plus a major reworking of the #include's to accomodate the relocations. * CVS repository files manually moved. Old directories left intact and empty (temporary). * Reorganize all filesystems into vfs/, most devices into dev/, sub-divide devices by function. * Begin to move device-specific architecture files to the device subdirs rather then throwing them all into, e.g. i386/include * Reorganize files related to system busses, placing the related code in a new bus/ directory. Also move cam to bus/cam though this may not have been the best idea in retrospect. * Reorganize emulation code and place it in a new emulation/ directory. * Remove the -I- compiler option in order to allow #include file localization, rename all config generated X.h files to use_X.h to clean up the conflicts. * Remove /usr/src/include (or /usr/include) dependancies during the kernel build, beyond what is normally needed to compile helper programs. * Make config create 'machine' softlinks for architecture specific directories outside of the standard <arch>/include. * Bump the config rev. WARNING! after this commit /usr/include and /usr/src/sys/compile/* should be regenerated from scratch.
Add the DragonFly cvs id and perform general cleanups on cvs/rcs/sccs ids. Most ids have been removed from !lint sections and moved into comment sections.

Nike – Write the Future
Probably one of the cleverest adverts ever made, it's a simple concept and one that is beautifully executed. How the future can change at any point.
Budweiser – Crowd Participation
I'd love to find out this was real but it's just too good to be but the concept is fantastic and it's a fun advert that appears every World Cup.
Nike – Airport
Just the skill and timing of alot of this footage is breathtaking, alot of it is real and just shows the pure brilliance of the Brazilians at the time. Awesome.
Adidas – Pick your team
Just love the editing on this advert and the idea of you versus your mate picking out which players you'd have on your team and for them to actually arrive, field of dreams fantasy..
Nike – Secret Tournament
Think every kid in 2002 wanted to take part in the Secret Nike Tournament after seeing this advert. Awesome.
Carlsberg – England Team Talk
If your English or appreciate English sporting history you'll understand this video and just how good it is..
Adidas – Star Wars World Cup Viewing Party
Only recently released but incredible editing and some fantastic dialogue.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
New Deal Studios is where the line between illusion and reality disappears. Come along for a peek behind the magician's curtain at one of Hollywood's top visual effects houses. In this Creative Inspirations documentary, find out how key scenes from Martin Scorsese's film Shutter Island were created, as well as segments of The Dark Knight and Night at the Museum. Using a combination of models, miniatures, computer graphics, and digital effects, New Deal Studios was designed from the ground up to be a place where effects professionals could do their best work, and where filmmakers could have their visions realized.
(Music playing) Scott Beverly: On 'The Dark Knight,' one of our challenges is we had two vehicles, one weighing about 450 lbs, the other vehicle weighing, what was the track shot? About seven? Forest Fischer: Seven hundred, yeah. Scott: About 700 lbs. The models we had built closely mimicked what they shot, first shoot, and we tried to match them as best as we can. But they were to collide together, and the goal in it was to create as much destruction as possible, on the trash truck with not damaging the tumbler, which was the Batmobile, at all.
What you saw on footage was the choreograph of what we planned to be recorded, or filmed, but all the mechanics that basically drove the event, the crashing, the impacting, that was on a rig that you didn't see. It was beneath the set. And it basically took the brunt of the impact. It was designed to do that. We had to design skates that carried the vehicles, and they basically had guided the cars into where they were supposed to be at the point of impact. Forest: The other thing with that whole event though that you don't - we had cameras less than two feet from the event.
So if anything did go awry anywhere, it could have been catastrophic to cameras and lenses. Scott Schneider: Take all that, all those things, the cameras, the cars, and all that and all this equipment that can't crash, is moving at high speed, and then we cram it inside a very small tunnel, which is set as well. Scott: When we did the shot, and I believe it was our first take, Forest: First take, yeah. Scott: Our first take, when we shot the footage, it worked seamless as far as the impact. It worked seamless as far as the truck coming off the Batmobile, and then we did the next shot, but when the director saw the first take, absolutely loved it, he said we were pretty much done and we were kind of surprised, because we had two more Forest: Setups to do Scott: Setups to do.
Forest: Make the car turn around. Scott Beverly: So the shot that you see in the movie is our first take of that sequence, and we were pleasantly surprised that we could nail it. Usually, we're allotted about three. Scott: Yeah, and the other thing is, though, they continue to shoot. They had two weeks of shooting, so they shot everything that they were contracted to shoot. So they shot everything that was boarded, and everything was done in the animatic, exactly frame-for-frame, the way it was done. But the shot that got used was the very first take.
