Loved it! Wish it was longer, but you kept it short and sweet.
2013-04-18 12:14:23
I thought it was well written, directed and that the actors did a great job. It would have been nice if it were longer, but its a short so what is one to do. Great job!
2012-09-28 09:42:13
I liked the movie very very much. I would have loved it if it were longer. It's rare to see movies with interracial couples, especially Black women with Asian men. The story was beautiful. I can see this as being a webisode.
2012-09-23 03:38:45
I liked the movie and thought the chemistry between the main characters came off as genuine. I would have like to have seen more in the way of relationship development, specifically as it pertains to navigating through the tides of social pressure and cultural expectations. The lite ribbing amongst friends could have opened the floor to some more meaningful discussion. But, all in all, as the story came to an end, I found myself curiously interested about what laid ahead for this couple.
2012-09-06 15:01:57
Great movie! Wish it was longer, at least an hour. Nice to see AMBW relationships. The main characters were a good match, though would've been more interesting to see their relationship evolve in a longer version of the movie.
2012-08-22 12:21:55
It was a great movie. I would love to see the relationship challenges and/or triumphs be further explored.
2012-08-09 10:37:22
Great movie, i really loved how they got back together despite what others said
2012-07-11 17:44:43
Too true......being in an ambw relationship comes with a lot of unwanted ndgative zttention,be it verbal or not. My husband, who is Korean, and I, his chocolate wife have experienced scrutiny to the extent that some of our closest friends and family members have been blacklisted. It was tough in the beginning but we couldnt resist our feelings and dove in.
With the passage of time, we can now joke about how many stares we get at different locations. The only difference now is that our handsome blasian 14 month old little man sees all of these eyes looking at us and just smiles and waves "hi".
We didnt give in to the cultural pressure and instead like these two characters it made us stronger.
2012-06-16 09:21:48
Excellent! Unfortunately not long enough and the two love interests are a good match totally believable

NeNe: "I'mma write you a list of things you need therapy for."
Gregg Leakes continues his mission to try to win ex-wife, NeNe Leakes, back, and he's not too proud to beg while the two enjoy pedicures. The wannabe hubby goes so far as to spout off poems (that sound like more limericks), lotion up her feet and even kneel down and kiss one in hopes of wooing his woman. He's also hoping for a literal key to her house and figurative one to her heart.
Miss Lawrence stops by to offer some advice to Gregg. "Be sincere and genuine and you wait for the universe to respond back," he suggests, but NeNe thinks Gregg needs to work on some things, including his lack of patience. When he mentions getting therapy, NeNe co-signs that idea.
"I'mma write you a list of things you need therapy for," she said. How helpful!
Despite his efforts, NeNe, whose eyes nearly roll outta her head, seems more irritated than romanced. Good thing for her she'll be taking a break from the courtship while traveling to New York to promote the "New Normal."
It just so happens that Cynthia Bailey is in the Big Apple, too, and she decides to introduce her friend to the New York subway system.
NeNe survives her first jaunt on the train, but she's not bold enough to try a NYC hot dog.
Cynthia: "I'mma need you to know what a metro card is."
While NeNe has a lot of haters in her life, Kim Zolciak for one, her friendship with Cynthia Bailey is solid, and the model is nothing but supportive of NeNe's moves.
According to Cynthia, an Emmy nomination is next for her BFF.

King edward v111 plate 1920 - advice please
I have just found an identical plate to the one advertised on the link below in my loft.
I would like some advice on how I would go about getting an up to date valuation and what would be the best place to sell it.
1920 Visit of King Edward VIII to Canada.
Many thanks

Many thanks for your note. I looked in the Worthopedia and found comp items in the $15-300 range, which doesn't help much. However, the plate that you reference above was sold in 2002 for around $300, but unfortunately the collector's market for most things has nosedived since then. As always, something is worth what someone will pay for it. It probably "values" today in the $100-200 range, but that is just a best guestimate. Perhaps use the Worthpoint "Ask a Worthologist" to take a closer look if you want a tighter range of values. Worthpoint can also help you find the right auction for an item, if you want to explore that option contact Maggie Turnipseed at email@example.com. Cheers!

You should never have to fight for a relationship to work. If you have expressed your feelings, then he should do likewise. If he is hesitant or just seems to lead you on then ask him if he wishes a relationship with you. Some women spend a lot of time on something that is never going to happen. They keep you hanging while they are searching for something better. How long are you willing to compromise your self-worth and self-esteem?
Obviously, some men are naturally shy and some fear rejection. Nonetheless, there comes a time when they have to take a stand.
You're the best Leon. As always, you give the best comments and advise.
I have had plenty of conversations with people in which they've admitted to me that they know their girlfriend (or boyfriend) is "not the one". They don't have an answer for me when I ask why they waste their girlfriends/boyfriends time and play with their emotions.
Your statement "you should never have to fight for a relationship to work" is about the truest I've heard. I feel now that if I'm struggling to get his attention, or to be be treated the way I feel I should be treated, or if there are rivals or if things just don't feel right, that I should listen to my gut and know this is not the one for me. Things should flow more smoothly if the relationship is the right one.
I wish I understood this when I was younger. I could have saved myself a lot of grief since the signs so plainly in front of me. I hope the young women and men here can learn from the mistakes of others.
You are an asset here Leon. God bless you too.

President Obama derided the Second Amendment as obsolete in his second inaugural address, claiming that "when times change, so must we" on issues like citizen gun ownership.
We have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.
Obama added an explicit reference to the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre. "Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm."
Obama's second inaugural address was otherwise designed as a largely a Rorschach test of sorts for its listeners; most will hear what they want to hear. In recent years, inaugural speeches have featured only glittering generalities, and Obama's speech was little different. Obama even threw one sop to the political Right, claiming, "Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone."
But on both sides of Obama's perfunctory invocation that — as Bill Clinton once more succinctly stated that "the era of big government is over" — Obama advocated an ever-larger series of broad and vaguely defined government initiatives.

Florence: 'The center of the sandboarding world'
FLORENCE, Ore. - Matt Walton traveled as far as the Egyptian Sahara looking for the perfect sand to board.
"It's getting more popular every year," he said of sandboarding.
He wound up finding ideal sandboarding conditions right here in Oregon.
"Here in the states, Florence is kind of the center of the sandboarding world," said the instructor at the Sand Master Park in Florence. "It's really like a mecca for sandboarders."
Tourists come from around the nation - even around the globe - to experience the Oregon Coast and its beaches, lighthouses and marine life.
But it's the nearly 40 miles of sand dunes - the largest expanse of coastal dunes in North America - that attract beginners and elite sandboarders to Florence.
Walton teaches sandboarding at Sand Master Park, where a basic board rental will set you back $16.
The sand is free.
The rental also includes wax, a key ingredient to getting the board to slide over the surface of the sand.
Not included: lift service, like at ski resorts.
Sandboarders earn their turns by hiking to the top of the dunes they want to board down.
Or fall down. >>> Watch the wipeout reel

BURLINGTON–North Country's foray into the 2013 post-season came to a close on Wednesday night, as they fell to the Burlington Seahorses.
"We didn't win, but it is nice to be associated with a great group of girls," said NCU coach Christiane Brown.
Offense was hard to come by for the Falcons in the first half, as they managed only twelve points in the opening sixteen minutes.
Things would get betting in the second half, as the Falcons would eventually out-score the Seahorses 13-12 in the final quarter, but by then it was too late.
Desiree Coffin led the team with 10 points, followed by Anna Bingham with 8.
Coffin, Bingham, along with Michaela Stanley and Britni Jewer will depart the team as the four girls will graduate this spring, and Brown spoke about her outgoing seniors, saying, "They left their footprints on my heart and on this team. They are great people, and they will find success in the future."
North Country finishes the year at 6-15, while BHS moves on with a 14-7 record.
Craftsbury 34, So. Royalton 31
CRAFTSBURY–The Royals used a triangle and two defense to slow down the Lady Chargers, but it wasn't enough, as Craftsbury utilized their entire roster to their notch an opening round play-down win in front of a packed house on Wednesday.
"It was definitely hard to find a flow," said CA coach Rich Thomas on the tempo of the game.
South Royalton jumped out to the early lead, going up 10-9 after one.
Then a funny thing occurred.
Both teams combined to score two points, one each, in the second.
When was the last time anybody has seen that?
Craftsbury got their game together in the third quarter, going out ahead 21-18 after 24 minutes.
Thalia Thomas, who was covered by the Royals top defender, became the main ball distributor, dishing the rock to teammates for open looks.
"I was looking to the girls some good looks, using my dribbling to get them open," said the younger Thomas.
Aysha Hodgdon was a big part of the Academy's 13 point fourth quarter, knocking down two clutch free throws and grabbing six rebounds, as the Chargers were able to come away with the win.
Janet Bohannon led all scorers with 12 points, while Emily Berk had 11 for the Royals, who end the year at 6-15.
Now standing at 17-4, Craftsbury will host either Arlington or Mid-Vermont in the quarter-finals on Saturday afternoon at 2:00.

St. Lawrence County has already had five confirmed cases of rabies this year, four in raccoons and in one skunk. No people were exposed.
The towns in which the rabid animals were found were Potsdam, Lisbon, DeKalb, Stockholm, and Brasher.
Its spreading all over the county, county Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway said. At this point, were very concerned we may have a tough year.
Rabies tends to show upin the summer when animals are more active than in the winter, adding an additional element of concern, Ms. Hathaway said.
Please, please, please do not pick up baby animals that look like theyre abandoned because theyre probably not, she said. Wild animals do not make good pets and they can carry disease.

Submission Internet billionaire creates HUGE physics prize->
gbrumfiel writes: Billionaire Internet entrepreneur Yuri Milner has spontaneously awarded $3 million prizes to nine prominent theoretical physicists. The new, Fundamental Physics Prize dwarfs awards like the Nobel, which this year is estimated to be worth some $1.2 million (and that's before it's split by up to three winners). It's so much money that some theorists fear it could distort the field. Milner says that his only purpose of the new prize was to promote the field, which he studied in the 1980s: "The intention was to say that science is as important as a shares rating on Wall Street," he told Nature .

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate writer
A new year and a new decade. What might the future hold?
It certainly will bring some new and exciting technological changes. We certainly will behold weather crisis and earthquakes. We will see economic rises and falls.
We will endure the deaths of notable celebrities and experience new faces that will become household names for reasons beyond our comprehension right now. We will have political upheaval in our country as well as many others before the decade is out.
There! That is my prediction of the future. Sure sounds a lot like the past decade. That may sound scary for some and it may bring comfort to others. We can not really see into the future beyond a day or two.
Ask any weather man if they can. Even with our most sophisticated computers and satellite gear, weather remains a prediction that is only reliable a day or two out at best. Too many variables.
The same for economic forecasts. They may try and predict trends, but so much that is out of our hands can change those at a moments notice. Who could have seen 9-11 and its impact on Wall-Street even the day before it happened?
My life has taken some very unexpected jogs along the way. Last decade I certainly thought I had a path laid out. My husband and I had to sit at a fork in the road for a couple of months and then proceeded down a side road we never expected. And here we are today, still traveling together and making the most of it.
Every single one of us is in for some surprises over the next 10 years. Some will be good and there will be some dark and sad ones. We cannot change that.
If you are still thinking about making a new year's resolution, then make one that truly makes your outlook on life better. What small change do you want to make that will make your life better.
It's pretty futile to set the same goal, year after year because you probably should. You know the ones I mean - lose weight, stop smoking and get organized, etc, etc, etc.
How about set a goal to give yourself some joy and happiness. Maybe if you can look at life with a positive outlook, the other things might just happen too.
Anyway have a great New Year and I hope that everyone who reads this will find one thing to smile about today. I hope I do at least. I sure have been a bit of a grump.
Oh wait, the kids are back in school-Yeah!!

NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. - From the moment of dawn Saturday, the Northtowns were in for a long day of cleaning up.
Finding someone who was putting all their might into shoveling was common. The plows were ripping and roaring through the snow all over the place.
Some utility crews were pumping out excess water that had saturated pipes and holes.
And of course, snowfall meant kids sledding, skiing and snowboarding.
"So far this year has been great," said one man, with knowledge that last year's snow total was dismal.
But, not all were smiling. Some short-staffed plow crews have been constantly on the go this week.
"It's tiring and exhausting, [I'm lacking] sleep," said one driver in Grand Island.
As bands of snow crept through Buffalo and the Northtowns, the snow put a thick layer on just about everything.
"We're just in a unique spot, and it's all hit or miss, it's our turn," said Joe Donlon, the deputy highway superintendent in the Town of Grand Island, which has about 130 miles of road to clear.
Earlier in the day, crews were battling the frigid cold.
"The big thing right now is wind and temperature, with the temperature being down in the mid-teens everything can turn into ice real quick and salt is not as effective in the mid-teens," said Donlon.
To move out the snow, at times wave after wave after wave of plows were digging us out. While others had no problems doing it themselves and getting help from their children.
There were some problems in parts of Niagara County, like Wheatfield and Lockport, where according to 911 dispatchers, vehicles have crashed into some ditches and the weather has caused some property damage.

The best study material is a box or 2 in front of you running Red Hat. I read the guides, and the websites, but nothing compared to my hands on experience w/ the OS.
Take a system, and then break it in various ways. Have a friend break it for you, so you don't know quite whats wrong.
Have a friend come up w/ a requirement set for an install. Service A has to be configured like so, has to only allow lan B to connect, GUI login, this that, and other stuff (within the included RH software), then see if you can fulfill the requirements w/in 2 hours. (start your time when you touch the blank system, not after you install the OS).
I jumped straight into the RH300 course, and got my RHCE w/out problems. The class didn't help too much, mostly w/ just the borked boot loader issues. The rest was due to my hands on experience w/ Red Hat.

When Injured:Dial "9-1-1". This is the fastest way to get help. Within seconds of your call, a trained operator relays the information so police, fire rescue and/or paramedics can respond.
Paramedic Response:Trained paramedics will arrive, evaluate and treat injuries, notify the nearest trauma center and arrange transportation.
Because the clock is ticking and every situation is different, the paramedics choose either ambulance or helicopter to get the patient to the nearest trauma center as quickly as possible.
Paramedics communicate with the trauma center while enroute and are met upon arrival by a trauma team.
Trauma Centers:Trauma centers differ from conventional hospitals in that trauma-alert patients are met at the door by a highly trained team led by Board Certified surgeons. These trauma surgeons have completed specialize Advanced Trauma Life Support Training.
The surgeons, their assistants, nurses and technicians rapidly diagnose and stabilize the patient using state-of-the-art equipment. Within a short period of time. the team can rush critically injured patients to a specially equipped operating room which is available just for trauma patients 24 hours a day.

POTSDAM The Carriage House Bakery was filled with delicious smells and eager eaters Sunday during the Potsdam Food Co-ops annual baking contest.
People were packed shoulder-to-shoulder in the small bakery, lining up to sample the 29 dishes that had been entered, piling up platefuls of pies, cakes and cookies.
It gets the community out, and you get to sample all of these great recipes, said co-op board member Peter S. Brouwer, who volunteered at the event.
Each contestant made two of their entries, one to be sampled and judged, the other to be offered up in a silent auction. All of the proceeds from the auction went to the Potsdam Neighborhood Center.
I think its an amazing turnout of community members to take the time to bake something, Neighborhood Center Director Daisy J. Cox said.
The $800 raised will support seed vouchers, which allow village residents in need to start their own vegetable gardens.
The bake-off and charity auction are a tradition that has lasted 15 years.
This is the place to be this afternoon, according to contestant John E. Dewar, who runs Village Veggies farm.
Im a former doctor. Im a vegetable farmer now, he said.
His entry, an apple pie made with plenty of butter and cinnamon, was inspired by his wifes favorite desserts.
I bake my wife an apple pie every October, with apples straight out of the trees, he said.
Although she thought everything was delicious, Russell resident Caitlin P. Hill said her favorite dish was unexpected.
Surprisingly, it was the vegan chocolate mousse, and Im not a vegan, she said.
Everyone who stopped by was given the chance to vote for their favorite entries. When the event ended at 4 p.m. the results were tallied, and winners were determined for each of the four categories.
Everything was really good. Ive cast my vote, but my lips are sealed, contestant Maliah M. Wright said.
Ms. Wrights vegan triple-chocolate mousse was voted the best dish in the special diet, category, reserved for foods that were gluten-free, vegan, or that catered to other dietary restrictions.
The mousse also took in the most money of any dish in the silent auction, at $80.
Mr. Dewars cinnamon apple pie won the dessert category. Zena Turners ginger pear cookies were victorious in the cookie category, while Susan Gillons butternut rice pudding was voted the best savory dish.
The winners in each category were awarded a $25 gift card to the co-op.

After the country called for RIM to filter the adult content that was being shown to unlocked BlackBerry Phone users in Indonesia, it looks as though they are going to have to buckle and give into their demands. The company has reportedly agreed to filter pornographic content on BlackBerry's in India as a result of the government's request that was made. This is not the first time that the company has had to accommodate requests from the government, but is the first time that they have agreed to filter the content that is given to their users. Apparently they would rather filter the content then have the BlackBerry be banned in the country.
They are working with the government to put the filter in place as promptly as possible, they said in a recent statement. The filtering solution will keep millions of Indonesian users from accessing the adult content. The fact that they asked Research In Motion to filter the content really shouldn't be that much of a surprise to anyone. They first instituted an anti-pornographic material law in 2008 that filtered a lot of the internet content that was available at the time.
RIM really had no choice and was forced to give into their demands. Indonesia has previously asked the company to move some of its servers, which are currently located in Canada, to Indonesia so that they could keep a closer eye on the content that their citizens were looking at through their mobile devices. Working with governments to filter content is an increasing trend in the mobile industry, and this is one of many deals that may come into place in the future. It will be interesting to see if other filters are put into place as well in the future in other countries. RIM has made it clear that they are willing to work with governments on the issue.

No. 5,941,972 issued on Aug. 24, 1999, and hereby incorporates these applications and patents by reference in their entireties as if they had been fully set forth herein.
This invention relates in general to network storage devices, and more particularly to a storage router and method for providing virtual local storage on remote SCSI storage devices to Fibre Channel devices.
Typical storage transport mediums provide for a relatively small number of devices to be attached over relatively short distances. One such transport medium is a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) protocol, the structure and operation of which is generally well known as is described, for example, in the SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 specifications. High speed serial interconnects provide enhanced capability to attach a large number of high speed devices to a common storage transport medium over large distances. One such, serial interconnect is Fibre Channel, the structure and operation of which is described, for example, in Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH), ANSI X3.230 Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL), and ANSI X3.272 Fibre Channel Private Loop Direct Attach (FC-PLDA).
Conventional computing devices, such as computer workstations, generally access storage locally or through network interconnects. Local storage typically consists of a disk drive, tape drive, CD-ROM drive or other storage device contained within, or locally connected to the workstation. The workstation provides a file system structure that includes security controls, with access to the local storage device through native low level block protocols. These protocols map directly to the mechanisms used by the storage device and consist of data requests without security controls. Network interconnects typically provide access for a large number of computing devices to data storage on a remote network server. The remote network server provides file system structure, access control, and other miscellaneous capabilities that include the network interface. Access to data through the network server is through network protocols that the server must translate into low level requests to the storage device. A workstation with access to the server storage must translate its file system protocols into network protocols that are used to communicate with the server. Consequently, from the perspective of a workstation, or other computing device, seeking to access such server data, the access is much slower than access to data on a local storage device.
In accordance with the present invention, a storage router and method for providing virtual local storage on remote SCSI storage devices to Fibre Channel devices are disclosed that provide advantages over conventional network storage devices and methods.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a storage router and storage network provide virtual local storage on remote SCSI storage devices to Fibre Channel devices. A plurality of Fibre Channel devices, such as workstations, are connected to a Fibre Channel transport medium, and a plurality of SCSI storage devices are connected to a SCSI bus transport medium. The storage router interfaces between the Fibre Channel transport medium and the SCSI bus transport medium. The storage router maps between the workstations and the SCSI storage devices and implements access controls for storage space on the SCSI storage devices. The storage router then allows access from the workstations to the SCSI storage devices using native low level, block protocol in accordance with the mapping and the access controls.
According to another aspect of the present invention, virtual local storage on remote SCSI storage devices is provided to Fibre Channel devices. A Fibre Channel transport medium and a SCSI bus transport medium are interfaced with. A configuration is maintained for SCSI storage devices connected to the SCSI bus transport medium. The configuration maps between Fibre Channel devices and the SCSI storage devices and implements access controls for storage space on the SCSI storage devices. Access is then allowed from Fibre Channel initiator devices to SCSI storage devices using native low level, block protocol in accordance with the configuration.
A technical advantage of the present invention is the ability to centralize local storage for networked workstations without any cost of speed or overhead. Each workstation accesses its virtual local storage as if it were locally connected Further, the centralized storage devices can be located in a significantly remote position even in excess of ten kilometers as defined by Fibre Channel standards.
Another technical advantage of the present invention is the ability to centrally control and administer storage space for connected users without limiting the speed with which the users can access local data. In addition, global access to data, backups, virus scanning and redundancy can be more easily accomplished by centrally located storage devices.
A further technical advantage of the present invention is providing support for SCSI storage devices as local storage for Fibre Channel hosts. In addition, the present invention helps to provide extended capabilities for Fibre Channel and for management of storage subsystems.
A more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof may be acquired by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features, and wherein:
In network 10, each workstation 12 has access to its local storage device as well as network access to data on storage devices 20. The access to a local storage device is typically through native low level, block protocols. On the other hand, access by a workstation 12 to storage devices 20 requires the participation of network server 14 which implements a file system and transfers data to workstations 12 only through high level file system protocols. Only network server 14 communicates with storage devices 20 via native low level, block protocols. Consequently, the network access by workstations 12 through network server 14 is slow with respect to their access to local storage. In network 10, it can also be a logistical problem to centrally manage and administer local data distributed across an organization, including accomplishing tasks such as backups, virus scanning and redundancy.
In storage network 30, any workstation 36 or workstation 40 can access any storage device 38 or storage device 42 through native low level, block protocols, and vice versa. This functionality is enabled by storage router 44 which routes requests and data as a generic transport between Fibre Channel 32 and SCSI bus 34. Storage router 44 uses tables to map devices from one medium to the other and distributes requests and data across Fibre Channel 32 and SCSI bus 34 without any security access controls. Although this extension of the high speed serial interconnect provided by Fibre Channel is beneficial, it is desirable to provide security controls in addition to extended access to storage devices through a native low level, block protocol.
According to the present invention, storage router 56 has enhanced functionality to implement security controls and routing such that each workstation 58 can have access to a specific subset of the overall data stored in storage devices 60, 62 and 64. This specific subset of data has the appearance and characteristics of local storage and is referred to herein as virtual local storage. Storage router 56 allows the configuration and modification of the storage allocated to each attached workstation 58 through the use of mapping tables or other mapping techniques.
As shown in
Storage router 56 combines access control with routing such that each workstation 58 has controlled access to only the specified partition of storage device 62 which forms virtual local storage for the workstation 58. This access control allows security control for the specified data partitions. Storage router 56 allows this allocation of storage devices 60, 62 and 64 to be managed by a management station 76. Management station 76 can connect directly to storage router 56 via a direct connection or, alternately, can interface with storage router 56 through either Fibre Channel 52 or SCSI bus 54. In the latter case, management station 76 can be a workstation or other computing device with special rights such that storage router 56 allows access to mapping tables and shows storage devices 60, 62 and 64 as they exist physically rather than as they have been allocated.
The environment of
The collective storage provided by storage devices 60, 62 and 64 can have blocks allocated by programming means within storage router 56. To accomplish this function, storage router 56 can include routing tables and security controls that define storage allocation for each workstation 58. The advantages provided by implementing virtual local storage in centralized storage devices include the ability to do collective backups and other collective administrative functions more easily. This is accomplished without limiting the performance of workstations 58 because storage access involves native low level, block protocols and does not involve the overhead of high level protocols and file systems required by network servers.
The storage router of the present invention is a bridge device that connects a Fibre Channel link directly to a SCSI bus and enables the exchange of SCSI command set information between application clients on SCSI bus devices and the Fibre Channel links. Further, the storage router applies access controls such that virtual local storage can be established in remote SCSI storage devices for workstations on the Fibre Channel link. In one embodiment, the storage router provides a connection for Fibre Channel links running the SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to legacy SCSI devices attached to a SCSI bus. The Fibre Channel topology is typically an Arbitrated Loop (FC_AL).
In part, the storage router enables a migration path Fibre Channel based, serial SCSI networks by providing connectivity for legacy SCSI bus devices. The storage router can be attached to a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop and a SCSI bus to support a number of SCSI devices. Using configuration settings, the storage router can make the SCSI bus devices available on the Fibre Channel network as FCP logical units. Once the configuration is defined, operation of the storage router is transparent to application clients. In this manner, the storage router can form an integral part of the migration to new Fibre Channel based networks while providing a means to continue using legacy SCSI devices.
In one implementation (not shown), the storage router can be a rack mount or free standing device with an internal power supply. The storage router can have a Fibre Channel and SCSI port, and a standard, detachable power cord can be used, the FC connector can be a copper DB9 connector, and the SCSI connector can be a 68-pin type. Additional modular jacks can be provided for a serial port and an 802.3 10 BaseT port, i.e. twisted pair Ethernet, for management access. The SCSI port of the storage router an support SCSI direct and sequential access target devices and can support SCSI initiators, as well. The Fibre Channel port can interface to SCSI-3 FCP enabled devices and initiators.
To accomplish its functionality, one implementation of the storage router uses: a Fibre Channel interface based on the HEWLETT-PACKARD TACHYON HPFC-5000 controller and a GLM media interface; an Intel 80960RP processor, incorporating independent data and program memory spaces, and associated logic required to implement a stand alone processing system; and a serial port for debug and system configuration. Further, this implementation includes a SCSI interface supporting Fast-20 based on the SYMBIOS 53C8xx series SCSI controllers, and an operating system based upon the WIND RIVERS SYSTEMS VXWORKS or IXWORKS kernel, as determined by design. In addition, the storage router includes software as required to control basic functions of the various elements, and to provide appropriate translations between the FC and SCSI protocols.
The storage router has various modes of operation that are possible between FC and SCSI target and initiator combinations. These modes are: FC Initiator to SCSI Target; SCSI Initiator to FC Target; SCSI Initiator to SCSI Target; and FC Initiator to FC Target. The first two modes can be supported concurrently in a single storage router device and are discussed briefly below. The third mode can involve two storage router devices back to back and can serve primarily as a device to extend the physical distance beyond that possible via a direct SCSI connection. The last mode can be used to carry FC protocols encapsulated on other transmission technologies (e.g. ATM, SONET), or to act as a bridge between two FC loops (e.g. as a two port fabric).
The FC Initiator to SCSI Target mode provides for the basic configuration of a server using Fibre Channel to communicate with SCSI targets. This mode requires that a host system have an FC attached device and associated device drivers and software to generate SCSI-3 FCP requests. This system acts as an initiator using the storage router to communicate with SCSI target devices. The SCSI devices supported can include SCSI-2 compliant direct or sequential access (disk or tape) devices. The storage router serves to translate command and status information and transfer data between SCSI-3 FCP and SCSI-2, allowing the use of standard SCSI-2 devices in a Fibre Channel environment.
The SCSI Initiator to FC Target mode provides for the configuration of a server using SCSI-2 to communicate with Fibre Channel targets. This mode requires that a host system has a SCSI-2 interface and driver software to control SCSI-2 target devices. The storage router will connect to the SCSI-2 bus and respond as a target to multiple target IDs. Configuration information is required to identify the target IDs to which the bridge will respond on the SCSI-2 bus. The storage router then translates the SCSI-2 requests to SCSI-3 FCP requests, allowing the use of FC devices with a SCSI host system. This will also allow features such as a tape device acting as an initiator on the SCSI bus to provide full support for this type of SCSI device.
In general, user configuration of the storage router will be needed to support various functional modes of operation. Configuration can be modified, for example, through a serial port or through an Ethernet port via SNMP (simple network management protocol) or the Telnet session. Specifically, SNMP manageability can be provided via a B02.3 Ethernet interface. This can provide for configuration changes as well as providing statistics and error information. Configuration can also be performed via TELNET or RS-232 interfaces with menu driven command interfaces. Configuration information can be stored in a segment of flash memory and can be retained across resets and power off cycles. Password protection can also be provided.
In the first two modes of operation, addressing information is needed to map from FC addressing to SCSI addressing and vice versa. This can be 'hard' configuration data, due to the need for address information to be maintained across initialization and partial reconfigurations of the Fibre Channel address space. In an arbitrated loop configuration, user configured addresses will be needed for AL_PAs in order to insure that known addresses are provided between loop reconfigurations.
With respect to addressing, FCP and SCSI 2 systems employ different methods of addressing target devices. Additionally, the inclusion of a storage router means that a method of translating device IDs needs to be implemented. In addition, the storage router can respond to commands without passing the commands through to the opposite interface. This can be implemented to allow all generic FCP and SCSI commands to pass through the storage router to address attached devices, but allow for configuration and diagnostics to be performed directly on the storage router through the FC and SCSI interfaces.
Management commands are those intended to be processed by the storage router controller directly. This may include diagnostic, mode, and log commands as well as other vendor-specific commands. These commands can be received and processed by both the FOP and SCSI interfaces, but are not typically bridged to the opposite interface. These commands may also have side effects on the operation of the storage router, and cause other storage router operations to change or terminate.
A primary method of addressing management commands though the FCP and SCSI interfaces can be through peripheral device type addressing. For example, the storage router can respond to all operations addressed to logical unit (LUN) zero as a controller device. Commands that the storage router will support can include INQUIRY as well as vendor-specific management commands. These are to be generally consistent with SCC standard commands.
The SCSI bus is capable of establishing bus connections between targets. These targets may internally address logical units. Thus, the prioritized addressing scheme used by SCSI subsystems can be represented as follows: BUS:TARGET:LOGICAL UNIT. The BUS identification is intrinsic in the configuration, as a SCSI initiator is attached to only one bus. Target addressing is handled by bus arbitration from information provided to the arbitrating device. Target addresses are assigned to SCSI devices directly through some means of configuration, such as a hardware jumper, switch setting, or device specific software configuration. As such, the SCSI protocol provides only logical unit addressing within the Identify message. Bus and target information is implied by the established connection.
Fibre Channel devices within a fabric are addressed by a unique port identifier. This identifier is assigned to a port during certain well-defined states of the FC protocol. Individual ports are allowed to arbitrate for a known, user defined address. If such an address is not provided, or if arbitration for a particular-user address fails, the port is assigned a unique address by the FC protocol. This address is generally not guaranteed to be unique between instances. Various scenarios exist where the AL-PA of a device will change, either after power cycle or loop reconfiguration.
The FC protocol also provides a logical unit address field within command structures to provide addressing to devices internal to a port. The FCP_CMD payload specifies an eight byte LUN field. Subsequent identification of the exchange between devices is provided by the FQXID (Fully Qualified Exchange ID).
FC ports can be required to have specific addresses assigned. Although basic functionality is not dependent on this, changes in the loop configuration could result in disk targets changing identifiers with the potential risk of data corruption or loss. This configuration can be straightforward, and can consist of providing the device a loop-unique ID (AL_PA) in the range of "01h" to "EFh." Storage routers could be shipped with a default value with the assumption that most configurations will be using single storage routers and no other devices requesting the present ID. This would provide a minimum amount of initial configuration to the system administrator. Alternately, storage routers could be defaulted to assume any address so that configurations requiring multiple storage routers on a loop would not require that the administrator assign a unique ID to the additional storage routers.
Address translation is needed where commands are issued in the cases FC Initiator to SCSI Target and SCSI Initiator to FC Target. Target responses are qualified by the FQXID and will retain the translation acquired at the beginning of the exchange. This prevents configuration changes occurring during the course of execution of a command from causing data or state information to be inadvertently misdirected. Configuration can be required in cases of SCSI Initiator to FC Target, as discovery may not effectively allow for FCP targets to consistently be found. This is due to an FC arbitrated loop supporting addressing of a larger number of devices than a SCSI bus and the possibility of FC devices changing their AL-PA due to device insertion or other loop initialization.
In the direct method, the translation to BUS:TARGET:LUN of the SCSI address information will be direct. That is, the values represented in the FCP LUN field will directly map to the values in effect on the SCSI bus. This provides a clean translation and does not require SCSI bus discovery. It also allows devices to be dynamically added to the SCSI bus without modifying the address map. It may not allow for complete discovery by FCP initiator devices, as gaps between device addresses may halt the discovery process. Legacy SCSI device drivers typically halt discovery on a target device at the first unoccupied LUN, and proceed to the next target. This would lead to some devices not being discovered. However, this allows for hot plugged devices and other changes to the loop addressing.
In the ordered method, ordered translation requires that the storage router perform discovery on reset, and collapses the addresses on the SCSI bus to sequential FSP LUN values. Thus, the FCP LUN values 0-N can represent N+1 SCSI devices, regardless of SCSI address values, in the order in which they are isolated during the SCSI discovery process. This would allow the FCP initiator discovery process to identify all mapped SCSI devices without further configuration. This has the limitation that hot-plugged devices will not be identified until the next reset cycle. In this case, the address may also be altered as well.
In addition to addressing, according to the present invention, the storage router provides configuration and access controls that cause certain requests from FC Initiators to be directed to assigned virtual local storage partitioned on SCSI storage devices. For example, the same request for LUN 0 (local storage) by two different FC Initiators can be directed to two separate subsets of storage. The storage router can use tables to map, for each initiator, what storage access is available and what partition is being addressed by a particular request. In this manner, the storage space provided by SCSI storage devices can be allocated to FC initiators to provide virtual local storage as well as to create any other desired configuration for secured access.
Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The best and easiest way to explore the old city is on foot, but to get to other areas there is a cheap public transport network consisting of buses, taxis or dolmuses (shared minibus taxis), tramways and a metro system that has relieved some of the pressure of Istanbul's endless traffic. The rechargeable Akbil electronic transit pass, available from special kiosks, is a discounted way of using local buses, trams, metro and ferries. A useful underground metro line runs from Aksaray to the main city bus station at Esenler and the Ataturk Airport, and another runs north from Taksim Square, passing the Levent districts. Buses are slow and crowded; tickets must be purchased at outdoor kiosks, as bus drivers do not sell them. Dolmuses and private yellow taxis are more comfortable than the city buses and very inexpensive, but it is advisable for foreigners to have their hotel call a private taxi for them and check that the meter is working, as overcharging is common. A taxi's night rate can be up to 50 percent more expensive than the day rate. Dolmuses can be hailed anywhere along their set routes. Passenger ferries are a pleasant way to see the city, and there is also a train network running along the Marmara shore. Driving or hiring a car is not recommended due to traffic congestion and poor driving standards.
GMT +2 (GMT +3 from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October).
220 volts AC, 50Hz. The European two-pin plug is standard.
The official currency is the Turkish Lira (TRY), which is divided into 100 kurus. Currency can be exchanged at banks, exchange booths, post offices, airports and ferry ports; banks have the worst rates but will exchange lesser known foreign currencies. Banks open mainly Monday to Friday, but some are open daily in tourist areas. ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas, but Turkish ATM keypads usually do not have letters of the English alphabet on their keys. Major credit cards are widely accepted; the most popular are Visa or MasterCard, but American Express is also accepted in some areas. Some hotels in the most popular destinations accept US dollars as payment.
The international country dialling code for Turkey is +90. Mobile phone coverage is good with GSM 900 and 1800 networks covering most of the country. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

In summer the weather in Istanbul is hot and humid, with the temperature between June and September averaging 82°F (28°C). Summers are relatively dry, but rain does occur all year round. During winter it is cold, wet and often snowy. Snowfalls tend to be heavy, but temperatures rarely drop as low as freezing point. Istanbul also tends to be a windy city.
The Istanbul Metro system provides quick and easy access to the city, including the intercity bus terminal. Use metro station Zeytinburnu and transfer to a tram to reach the Eminonu ferry or Sea Bus docks. The airport Havas Bus leaves from the Departures terminal gate and connects to Taksim Square or Kozyatagi. Shuttle buses depart from 4am to 1am, and take 40 minutes into the city. Taxis are also available. Taxi rates are 50 percent higher between midnight and 6am.
Car rental companies include Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, National and Sixt.
The Istanbul Ataturk Airport is west of Istanbul and it takes around thirty minutes to reach Taksim Square by taxi. Fees depend largely on the destination in Istanbul. Rates are as much as fifty percent higher at night. Passengers should only take metered taxis and insist drivers turn the meter on.
Escalator walkways as well as travelators connect Terminal 1 (domestic flights) to Terminal 2 (international flights). The transfer takes about 10 minutes.
Banks, ATMs and bureaux de change are available. A pharmacy, children's playroom, hairdresser, florist, newsstand and medical services are available. Other facilities include tourist information and hotel reservations, bars, restaurants, duty-free shopping, a conference centre, post office and 24-hour left luggage.
There are both open and roofed car park options available close to the terminal buildings. These both have long and short-term parking options available.
Wireless internet connections are available at the Arrivals, Departures and General Aviation Terminals. This service is free at the lounges of the Arrivals and Departures Terminals. Additional wifi access spots within the terminal are available for a fee.

VOLTA11 Basel
Basel's renowned art fair for new and emerging art.
Markthalle, Basel
VOLTA, the renowned art fair for new and emerging art, debuted in Basel in 2005 as a collaboration between dealers and friends. The aim was to secure a platform for international galleries beyond young art stalwart Liste and market heavyweight Art Basel. Concerns and aspirations of the exhibiting gallerists have been first and foremost since VOLTA's inception; in combination with the curatorial mind of Artistic Director Amanda Coulson, eclectic and dynamic presentations with a strong focus on solo presentations find a stage as refined as at the main fair. Over a decade on, VOLTA remains committed to the same values and spirit and now, in our 'pre-teen years', we are ready in the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel to GO TO 11!
VOLTA has already created a brand known and respected for its strict selection of exhibiting galleries and artists, including a growing list of alumni who have graduated to the main fairs. Former exhibitors like A Gentil Carioca (Rio de Janeiro), STEVENSON (Cape Town/Johannesburg), One and J. Gallery (Seoul) and bitforms gallery (New York) ascended to Frieze and Art Basel after exhibiting at VOLTA. Likewise, artists including Theaster Gates, Chris Johanson, Zilvinas Kempinas, Cameron Platter, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, and Adrian Williams have shown in prestigious events like the Venice Biennale, the Orangerie (Paris), dOCUMENTA, Art Basel's Art Parcours and Art Unlimited, following their featured showings at VOLTA.
Encouraged by the response of collectors and institutional representatives to the fair's solo presentations and curated booths, VOLTA will continue to highlight single-artist projects and dynamic configurations of two or three artists in dialogue as the backbone to its program. In doing so, VOLTA returns the focus of the art fair atmosphere back to its most crucial component: the artists and their works.
With the move back to the airy splendor of Basel's landmark venue Markthalle, situated in a key central location in the city, VOLTA confirmed its position as a mature player in Basels art week and elevates its exhibitors respective platforms for an experience mutually beneficial to fair visitors and the galleries alike. Showcasing the highest calibre of new art bearing salient contemporary positions within an elegant environment: this is VOLTA's mission.
VOLTA was co-founded by three dealers, Kavi Gupta, Friedrich Loock and Uli Voges, and art critic Amanda Coulson in 2005.
The most impressive art fair on the planet.
TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY, Osaka (second-time exhibitor)
It was a great fair run by a great team and we look forward to the next opportunity to work together.
Beers Contemporary, London (first-time exhibitor)
It is a real pleasure to participate in an art fair that A: attracts major international collectors; B: maintains quality control over exhibitors; C: does so professionally and amicably. The VOLTA crew care about what happens and they know how to get the job done and get it done well.

A Strange Eventful History: The Dramatic Lives of Ellen Terry, Henry Irving, and Their Remarkable Families By Michael Holroyd (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 620 pp., $40) Ben and Sarah Terry, parents of the more famous Ellen, were jobbing actors. Six of their nine children had stage careers. Ellen Terry was to become the most celebrated of Victorian actresses, but her sister Kate was also considerably admired, and at least two more siblings had something of a name in their time. Ellen lived for some years with E.W. Godwin, an architect of originality, who also turned his hand to stage design.

OGDENSBURG - For the second game in two days, OFA will be looking for a win to clinch a Northern Athletic Conference Hockey division title as the Blue Devils visit Potsdam for a 5 p.m. makeup start.
And the Blue Devils, who tied St. Lawrence Central 3-3 in their Senior Night game at the Golden Dome on Monday, wont be alone.
As OFA looks for a victory to clinch the NACs Division II Championship Potsdam will be looking for a victory to clinch the Division I crown. The possibility of matching co-championships was also created in Mondays tie which left 10-3-1 St. Lawrence Central (14-5-1) with 21 points and 9-2-2 OFA (10-5-4) with 20 points.
Potsdam (9-2-0 18 points) can vault past Massena (9-2-1 19 points) in the final D1 standings with a victory and tie the Raiders on top if a draw ensues.
Its going to be a very tough game tomorrow, said OFA Coach Jon Frederick as his team looks to go unbeaten against Division I foes this season where they beat Massena and Salmon River and tied Canton. But I certainly liked the character we showed tonight. We started slowly and fell behind 2-0 but we fought back very hard.
Mickey Locke felt the same way about his Larries who regrouped after allowing three straight OFA goals to capitalize on the opportunity of pulling their goalie on a power play and tying the game at 3-3 while skating 6-4 with 10 seconds remaining in regulation.
We wanted to get off to a fast start and we spent a lot of energy on our forecheck to establish our offense. We scored twice but we had the opportunity to score a couple of other times in the first period. We didnt convert and OFA is a very good team and they came right back, said Locke.
We had to very cognizant of where Brandon Mullin was and in the first period we did a great job at it. But he got going late in the second period and in the third period, he added.
Mondays game featured two of the NACs top offensive threats in OFAs Mullin (20 goals, 9 assists) and SLCs Luke Arquiett (18 goals, 21 assists) and two of the best netminders in the goaltending rich NAC in OFAs Dave Prudhomme and SLCs Nate McLaughlin.
All four were major factors.
Arquiett picked up a goal and an assist leading SLC to a 2-0 first period lead and Mullin set up OFAs tying goal at 2-2 and scored a go-ahead goal 3-2 in the first four minutes of the third period.
Prudhome stopped 36 shots in the Devils crease with 14 in the third period and McLaughlin handled 34 saves with 15 in the second period.
The Larries converted their last chance pulling their goalie when OFA was called for penalty with 29 seconds to play. Kody Kocsis controlled in the puck in a wild sequence and cooly skated in close and lifted a backhand shot through a crowd of players and just under the cross with 10 seconds remaining.
Luke Arquiett won the faceoff which meant everything and then we showed great patience to score after we had a two passes in front of the net, said Locke of the dramatic equalizer which was set up by Devin Eutos second assist of the game and by Blake Baldwin, who scored SLCs second goal.
SLC opened the scoring at 5:18 of the first period when Arquiett controlled a lead pass from Ian Lynch and sniped a shot off the left goalpost and into the net. Baldwin converted a power play goal directly in front of net for 2-0 from Euto and Arquiett at 10:43.
The only goal of the second period saw OFAs Jon Tayler carry puck upice and score unassisted with a wrist shot into the lower lefthand corner of the goal at 10:44.
Mullins defensive diligent and reach led to OFA goals at 0:43 and 3:59 of the third period. On the first, he forced a turnover at midice, carried the puck behind the SLC net and passed it to the point to Burke Comeau who ripped a slap shot which Jared Barr redirected in to the net. OFAs only lead came when Mullin stole the puck in the attacking zone, circled behind the net and made quick move out front and stuffed a backhander past McLaughlin.
The Larries will now get set to host a Section 10 Division II tournament semi-final round game on Friday at the Tri-Town Arena starting at 7 p.m.
Islanders 6, Tupper Lake: In the lone other NAC hockey action on Monday, the Islanders skated to a 6-1 Division II win over Tupper Lake. Sean Shepard led the winning offense with a goal and two assists. Cam Morgan and Evan Dier each fashioned a goal and assist while Christopher Strough turned aside 13 shots backstopping the win.
Hudson Sparks broke through for the lone Tupper Lake goal while Tyler Nilsson made 34 saves working the crease in the losing cause.

CARTHAGE The second capital project proposal in two years has been shot down by Carthage Central School District voters.
The $13.2 million project was defeated 431-311 Tuesday night.
I am disappointed, said Board of Education President Barbara A. Lofink. I feel it was a good energy-savings, cost-savings plan. We will rework it and take it to the table again.
Last June, residents voted down a proposed $34.5 million project, 785-185, that would have included upgrades for the high school science wing and getting rid of the districts Great Bend facility.
In an effort to get the new proposal to pass, the district gave residents two options rather than rolling them into one.
The first proposition, which would have cost $1.01 per $1,000 in assessed property value per year for 15 years, included upgraded security and basic maintenance.
The second proposition, which could pass only if the first one did, would have added four classrooms to West Carthage Elementary and allowed for a districtwide technology update. Together, the two propositions $16.9 million would have cost the average taxpayer $1.33 per thousand.
The negative vote means the district will have to wait to replace its boiler and conduct asbestos abatement, among other things.
The project, had it passed, would have been eligible for 98 percent state aid, according to Superintendent Peter J. Turner. In addition, $700,000 from the districts $2 million EXCEL (Expanding Our Childrens Education and Learning) grant could have been put toward the project. Without a capital project, maintenance items would not be eligible for state aid. At the projects public hearing, Mr. Turner warned that the EXCEL grant may be taken away in as little as two months.
Am I surprised? Mrs. Lofink said. No. Theres tax fatigue. This is the only municipality that residents can vote on the budget. They cant vote on the village or county budgets.
Exit polls she was poring over in the high school library showed that many who voted against the project vote against all tax increases.
Mrs. Lofink said she was disheartened that there was sparse attendance at the public hearing last week and at board meetings during which the capital project was discussed.
But they all come out here and vote no, she said.
Mr. Turner said he didnt try to predict what the outcome of the vote would be.
The board will have to weigh its options to see what its next steps will be, Mr. Turner said. Id like to say thank you to the people who took the time to vote.

We have seen the checkpoint of the future, and we are not impressed.
But Our Rulers certainly are. That's because it will calm some of the furor over the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) sexual assaults at airports by reducing the "stripping … unpacking, and … groping." That's not to say it eliminates those atrocities — or their sponsor, the TSA. Rather, it places passengers ever more firmly under that perverted agency's thumb.

As ladies who own more belts than we care to count, we immediately approved of today's large accessory idea: big buckle belts! Acting more as a statement piece than merely a waist-defining accent, belts with oversized buckles are officially taking center stage this season and becoming the much-deserved focal point of looks both on and off the runways. Fashionphiles like Byrdie Bell and Rooney Mara embrace anything-but-basic belts, using them to punctuate solid-colored frocks or break up architectural separates, and we think you should too! So buckle up, dear readers, because today's Accessory Report promises to be a very stylish ride!
Though an assortment of big buckles surfaced on the spring runways, we first took notice of this smart accessory trend while perusing the Celine Resort 12 collection. Designer Phoebe Philo showed the covetable Black Wide Buckle Large Belt ($940, 305.866.1888) in a number of notable looks, but we were particularly fond of how she used it to split up the color block design of the Jungle Plonge Medium Length Dress ($5800, 305.866.1888), shown above. The frock's streamlined silhouette allows the generously proportioned buckle to remain the focus of the outfit, resulting in a very contemporary, uptown-meets-downtown look.
As evidenced by today's style-minded set, big buckle belts are becoming quite popular off the runways too! The trend is popping up everywhere from fashion fetes to glamorous red carpets, and we're completely enamored with the way some of our favorite tastemakers are addressing it. Some ladies, like Byrdie Bell and British model Dani Smith, use these oversized accents to stylishly nip in their free-flowing frocks. For example, at an art bash in Miami last month, Bell cinched the waist of her vintage slip dress with Yves Saint Laurent's Patent Square Buckle Belt ($445). The shiny patent leather and considerable square buckle stand out against the frock's minimalist design and understated fabric, while perfectly complementing the leather jacket's tough-girl vibe. Smith also kept the attention on her big buckle at a cocktail party for BLK DNM back in November. We love how her white belt almost blends in with her white vintage shirtdress, ensuring the silver half-moon shaped buckle stays in the spotlight.
Of course, if you consider yourself more of a separates kind of girl, then we recommend looking to the uber-stylish Rooney Mara and Cara Delevingne for some exceptional how-to-wear guidance! At the 12th annual AFI Awards in Beverly Hills last week, Mara picked Lanvin's black matte and waxed leather belt from the Pre-Fall 12 collection to accompany her architectural top and skirt combo, specifically a beige and black satin duchesse top and neoprene skirt (also from Lanvin Pre-Fall 12). The big buckle perfectly accentuates the fashion-forward ensemble. Accolades are also in order for the way British model Delevingne incorporated Burberry's Caiman Detail Belt ($1295) into her outfit at the 20th anniversary party of Dazed and Confused magazine back in November. Worn with slim American Apparel leggings and a cropped AllSaints tuxedo blazer, the big belt lends definition to the overall look.
Now that we've given you a handful of inspirational outfit ideas to work with, we'd like to introduce you to some must-buy belt options to add to your wardrobe. First up is Banana Republic's Leather Contour Belt ($50), which comes in a beautiful chocolate brown hue, as well as black, and features a silver rectangular buckle. The belt itself is on the slimmer side, so it's perfect for a pair of high-waisted jeans! We also approve of Linea Pelle's Wide Waist Belt ($198), which not only features a large gunmetal buckle, but also offers some textural intrigue with inlaid chain detailing. Additionally, both Lauren by Ralph Lauren's Patent Stretch Belt ($38) and Cole Haan's Military Wide Belt ($98) are great picks, especially if you seek to define the waist of your dress.
If you can invest a little more, we have a feeling you're going to flip for our fabulous designer selections too! Yves Saint Laurent's Suede Belt ($425) in Red is sure to bring a nice pop of color to any look, as well as Ralph Lauren Collection's turquoise Suede Belt ($250) and Fausto Pugsli's lime green Silk Satin on Smooth Leather Belt ($430). However, if it's a neutral style you're after, please check out Donna Karen's Leather Icon Belt ($595) and Prada's Saffiano Waist Belt ($470) in Caramel. Finally, let's discuss the piece at the top of our wish list: Oscar de la Renta's Whipstitched Leather Belt ($850). In our opinion, the navy and white woven detail makes for one truly splurge-worthy big buckle belt, and would make anything you cinch look ultra chic!-Jessica Baker
