Well I work in a dental office and everything I've seen in my 6 years is your unable to have any x-rays at all in your first trimester! The 2nd an 3rd may be okay depending on the sitcom stances! As for using anesthetic you have to have anesthetic with out any epinephrine during your hole pregnancy! Also at the dental office I work at we have to have a written letter from your OBGYN stating that it is or is not okay for you to have any dental treatment completed other than preventive such as cleanings! Just make sure you let your dentist as well as assistant and hygienist know that your expecting an they can go from there an go over your options as to treat that tooth!!! Hope your able to have your tooth fixed and a root canal isn't as bad as it sounds promise!! Also good luck with the baby!!!

Oops almost forgot!! Dental work is possible while pregnant!! Their ate just different precautions that need to be took once your pregnant!!!!

Hi Guys:
Emil86..did you ever have the root canal? I am in the same position. I am about 12.5 weeks pregnant and might need a root canal. I'm nervous because this wasn't something I wanted to go through pregnant. I don't worry so much about the pain but more about the health of the baby. I did get a letter from the OB to the dentist and i am cleared for dental work..just in case. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't need it.

Ladies who have undergone the menopause are no more likely to suffer a heart attack than other females who have not.
That is according to a study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, published in the British Medical Journal, which indicated that the risk of such an occurrence rises as women get older.
Assistant professor of medicine at the institution Dr Dhananjay Vaidya stated that it discovered "no big shift" towards greater heart attack rates was noticeable after the menopause.
"What we believe is going on is that the cells of the heart and arteries are aging like every other tissue in the body," he said.
He added this alone is "an adequate explanation" of why more heart issues occur.
This follows a recent study published by bmj.com, which indicated the risk of heart disease could be reduced by a third for those who consume chocolate.

Free Concert Held To Benefit Victims Of Deadly Southwest Philadelphia Fire
By Dan Wing
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A free concert featuring a number of local gospel artists was held in Southwest Philadelphia Monday night to benefit the families of the children killed in the Gesner Street fire a few weeks ago (see related stories).
While all money raised at the show at the First Baptist Church of Paschall would be given to the families affected by the fire, Pastor Eric Simmons says the night was more about lifting the spirits of a community that was hurt, and at times angry.
"Coming together to hear good music, but more importanly to fellowship together, to lift up the spirits of those that experienced this loss. They've been fed food, and now we're going to feed them some entertainment. We're just going to have a good time," Pastor Simmons said.
So Pastor Simmons says invitations to the event went out to more than just people who live in the neighborhood.
"We've invited police, and civil officials and government officials to come. Senators are here, various agencies are here. And we're just here on one accord, to just try to come together to support one another during this time."
Before the show kicked off, the families were given a special introduction and a standing ovation from the hundreds of people at the show.

Two articles in this week's issue of THE JOURNAL, both based on large-scale administrative data, examine the links between use of diagnostic tests and subsequent use of related surgical procedures. Wennberg et al1 examined data from small areas in New England and showed that use of imaging stress electrocardiograms is closely related to subsequent use of angiography and use of stress electrocardiograms and angiography is strongly related to subsequent use of revascularization. Verilli and Welch2 used national Medicare claims data to show similar linkage for five diagnostic-therapeutic pairs: cardiac catheterization with cardiac revascularization, imaging of the spine with back surgery, swallowing studies with percutaneous gastroscopy, mammography with breast biopsy/excision, and prostate biopsy with prostatectomy. Together these two articles provide convincing evidence that increased use of a range of therapeutic procedures is strongly associated with prior use of related diagnostic tests.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! My husband and I arrived at the hotel at around 10:30 AM and stopped by the front desk to ask if we can check in early, expecting that it would not be possible (but of course, it doesn't hurt to ask, right?). Not only did Victoria C. (front desk associate) offer immediate check-in, she also offered a free upgrade of my city view room to a waterfront room. I readily accepted her offer. : )
We went to the room and spent a good 10 - 15 minutes admiring the view of the Inner Harbor, the Parliament Building and the bustling downtown Victoria. When we were able to finally peel our eyes away from the great view, we started our trek to downtown. Downtown is just a short 5 minute drive across the Johnson Street Bridge to get to the downtown area to visit the Parliament House, have Afternoon Tea at The Fairmont Empress, Chinatown, the Royal BC Museum, Fisherman's Wharf and the many great eateries. We could have either walked across (maybe 15 minute walk) or taken the water taxi, but since we knew we were going to stay out late, we decided to drive.
The hotel lobby is very bright and inviting. It leads to a beautiful walkway and view of Inner Harbor and downtown area. Our room was bright, clean and spacious.
The view from the room during the day is beautiful, but the view at night is even more spectacular!
I would like to thank Victoria C. for extending such great customer service!!! I will definitely stay at this hotel the next time I am in Victoria and will stay at Delta hotels more often when I travel.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Columbus Blue Jackets were their own worst enemy in the first period, so much so that goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky threw his stick to the ice when the Carolina Hurricanes scored their third goal of the period.
But the Blue Jackets used that moment to find their focus, scoring three power-play goals in regulation before Ryan Johansen scored the only goal of the shootout for a 4-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Tuesday.
After Eric Staal gave the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead with a power-play goal in the final seconds of the first period, Bobrovsky's frustration was clear, glaring at teammate Daulton Prout and leaving his stick on the ice. The goaltender's view was obstructed on all three Carolina goals.
"You understand his frustration somewhat, but you don't want to see that reaction out on the ice," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "Too much traffic in front of the net. He wasn't seeing anything. It was our own guys at times screening our own goaltender."
Columbus (28-34-4) played without leading scorer Nick Foligno, who was a late scratch with flu symptoms. Luke Adam took Foligno's spot in the lineup.
The Hurricanes (25-32-8) have lost three of their past four games (1-2-1).
Carolina scored 36 seconds into the game on its first shot. With an open lane through the right faceoff circle, Justin Faulk skated in and sent a wrist shot past Bobrovsky, who finished with 29 saves.
The Hurricanes took a 2-0 lead with another quick goal, seven seconds into a power play at 12:47 of the first period. With Fedor Tyutin off for cross checking, the Hurricanes won the ensuing faceoff, and Faulk set up Victor Rask for his first goal in 11 games, a high one-timer.
Rene Bourque, playing his second game with Columbus, cut the lead to 2-1 with a power-play goal at 18:05 of the first. He screened Cam Ward and redirected Cam Atkinson's shot over the goaltender's glove.
"That first goal (by Faulk) was actually my fault so it was nice to battle back and try to get the boys going," Bourque said.
With 10 seconds remaining in the period, Carolina took a 3-1 lead with another power-play goal. Ryan Murphy's slap shot through traffic was tipped by Staal and past Bobrovsky.
"Obviously we were trying to push guys out of the way so he can have vision of the puck, but we weren't doing a good enough job of that," Johansen said. "He can't save what he can't see, so we had to be better there."
Blue Jackets forward Scott Hartnell helped tie the game 3-3 with a power-play goal in the second period and another in the third. First, he located the rebound of Kevin Connauton's shot under Ward and pushed it in at 2:21 of the second.
Hartnell tied the game at 6:10 of the third, scoring on the rebound after Artem Anisimov battled for the puck in front of the net.
"Our power play has been struggling the last dozen games," said Hartnell, who has 18 goals, seven with the man advantage. "We talked about keeping it simple, getting bodies in front and crashing the net. They weren't the pretty tic-tac-toe goals but they all count."
The Hurricanes had the best chance in overtime when Staal came in on a short breakaway, but his wrist shot sailed wide of the far post.
In the shootout, Johansen led off the third round with a slow approach against Cam Ward before making a quick, wide move to the forehand to tuck the puck in.
"I just try and be patient to see a couple options maybe, then hopefully it goes in," said Johansen, who is 8-for-22 in shootouts. "I like coming down slow. It works for me."
Bobrovsky then made a right-pad save on Jeff Skinner to seal the win.
With three goals in the first period, the Hurricanes picked up where they left off Sunday in a 7-4 win against the Edmonton Oilers. Carolina coach Bill Peters attributed the scoring drought in the second and third periods to a lack of effort.
"I thought we stopped working to be honest with you," Peters said. "I didn't think we competed as hard and didn't execute very well with the puck. We maybe thought it was going to be easy and continue to get two or three a period without putting work in, but it doesn't work that way."
Faulk had three points, all in the first period, for Carolina. Ward made 29 saves.

The present disclosure relates generally to computer networks, and, more particularly, to integrating routers and cable modems.
Computer networks often employ the use of routers to interconnect a plurality of network devices (e.g., client devices, other routers, etc.), and to correspondingly route traffic/data (e.g., packets) between the interconnected network devices, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. Also, routers may be configured to apply certain services to the traffic, such as Quality of Service (QoS) functions that may be used to control the traffic (e.g., to manipulate the traffic in some manner), such as to achieve a desired transmission rate according to one or more desired/required rate limitations (e.g., bandwidth). For instance, a router may operate on different types of traffic, for example, is distinguishing between voice and data traffic, such that the router may prioritize and appropriately queue different classes of traffic to provide router QoS.
Also, cable modems may be used to interconnect one or more network devices to a cable network (e.g., a service provider's network), so that the network devices may access other networks, such as the Internet. Cable modems translate traffic between the network devices and the cable network into appropriate transmission formats. Cable modems typically operate on service-flows, which may be defined by particular parameters/classifications as will be understood by those skilled in the art, such that traffic may be assigned to a particular service flow by the cable modem, and transmitted to the cable network accordingly. In other words, the cable network may provide backpressure (e.g., a congestion detection/indication) to the cable modem that is specific to a particular service-flow, and the cable modem may then be configured to apply QoS to that particular service flow to reduce congestion on the cable network.
In certain network configurations, a router (and all the network devices supported by the router) may be interconnected to a cable modem via an external interface (i.e., as separate devices), such as an Ethernet interface. Since the Ethernet interface generally has an available bandwidth that is significantly higher than the cable network bandwidth, the router is restricted in its ability to natively enforce an effective QoS policy. In particular, in order to keep from overflowing the cable modem and/or cable network, the router would need to control (e.g., shape) traffic over the Ethernet interface to a finite value/rate that is equal to a minimum guaranteed aggregate rate of the cable network. The fundamental problem with this approach is that the cable network bandwidth can often exceed the minimum guaranteed rate, such as where other members of the cable network are not fully utilizing the available bandwidth, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The router, therefore, would not be fully utilizing all of the available is bandwidth.
Furthermore, the router generally multiplexes the received traffic from its interconnected network devices onto the external Ethernet interface on a first-come first-go basis, regardless of whether the traffic would belong to a particular service-flow at the cable modem, particularly because the router is unaware of the service-flow parameters/classifications. This multiplexing of traffic ignores service-flow differentiation and defeats the use of any existing per-interface flow control methods for the purpose of providing per service-flow backpressure, such as "PAUSE" frames (an Ethernet-based request by the cable modem for the router to temporarily stop sending all traffic on the interface). Accordingly, the router is generally forced to control/restrict an aggregate rate of all service-flows (i.e., all traffic sent from the router to the cable modem) simultaneously, thus preventing the router from taking advantage of all available bandwidth, such as where one service flow is more congested than another service flow. There remains a need, therefore, for a technique that applies router QoS on a cable modem interface on a per-service-flow basis.
The above and further advantages of the invention may be better understood by referring to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals indicate identically or functionally similar elements, of which:
According to embodiments of the disclosure, a cable modem determines network backpressure per service-flow, and transmits the network backpressure per service-flow to a router (e.g., co-located on a same network device). Also, the cable modem may transmit service-flow classifications to the router, such that the router may then control traffic per service-flow based on the network backpressure per service-flow, accordingly.
A computer network is a geographically distributed collection of nodes interconnected by communication links and segments for transporting data between end nodes, such as personal computers and workstations. Many types of networks are available, with the types ranging from local area networks (LANs) to wide area networks (WANs).
LANs typically connect the nodes over dedicated private communications links located in the same general physical location, such as a building or campus. WANs, on the other hand, typically connect geographically dispersed nodes over long-distance communications links, such as common carrier telephone lines, optical lightpaths, synchronous optical networks (SONET), or synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) links. The Internet is an example of a WAN that connects disparate networks throughout the world, providing global communication between nodes on various networks. The nodes typically communicate over the network by exchanging discrete frames or packets of data according to predefined protocols, such as the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). In this context, a protocol consists of a set of rules defining how the nodes interact with each other.
Data packets may be exchanged among the nodes/devices of the computer network 100 using predefined network communication protocols such as the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol, Frame Relay protocol, Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol, cable network protocols, etc.
The memory 240 comprises a plurality of storage locations that are addressable by the processor(s) 220 and the network interfaces 210 for storing software programs and data structures associated with the embodiments described herein. The processor(s) 220 may comprise necessary elements or logic adapted to execute the software programs and manipulate the data structures, such as data/traffic queues 266 and service-flow queues 276. An operating system 242, portions of which are typically resident in memory 240 and executed by the processor(s), functionally organizes the node by, inter alia, invoking network operations in support of software processes and/or services executing on the device. Notably, in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein, the operating system 242 may comprise a router operating system (or "router process") 260 and a cable modem operating system (or "cable modem process") 270, which each functionally organize the device to operate respectively in accordance with a router and a cable modem. For instance, router operating system 260 may comprise software processes and/or services such as routing protocol services 262, router Quality of Service (QoS) process 264, and traffic control process 268. Also, cable modem operating system 270 may comprise software processes and/or services such as cable network protocol services 272 and cable modem QoS process 274. Notably, the router process 260 and the cable modem process 270 of the device 200 may communicate via a known message-passing mechanism, such as the Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism, which is illustratively embodied as a "router-cable-modem" or "R-CM" interface 280, as described herein. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other processor and memory means, including various computer-readable media, may be used to store and execute program instructions pertaining to the inventive technique described herein.
Routing process (operating system) 260 may be operable to provide router and routing functions for traffic received from clients/users 112 on LAN 110, as well as from cable modem 130 (process 270) from the cable network 140. Routing process 260 receives the traffic and routes/forwards the traffic (based on one or more configured policies) toward a desired destination. For instance, routing protocol services 262 may contain computer executable instructions executed by processor(s) 220 to perform functions provided by one or more routing protocols, such as the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), static routing, etc., as will be understood by those skilled in the art. These functions may be configured to manage a routing/forwarding information database (not shown) containing, e.g., data used to make routing/forwarding decisions.
Also, router QoS process 264 may contain computer executable instructions executed by processor(s) 220 to perform functions related to the treatment/management of the data/traffic in accordance with router QoS. In particular, router QoS may be based on one or more local policies that define a particular treatment to be applied to particular types/classes of data/traffic. For example, as data/traffic is received at the router process/operating system 260, the traffic may be placed into queues 266 (e.g., for a particular exit interface 210) for forwarding the traffic out that interface in due course, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. Before entering the queues 266, or while within the queues, router QoS process 264 may apply local router QoS policies to the traffic, such as prioritizing certain traffic and otherwise controlling the traffic in a configurable manner. For instance, traffic control process 268 may contain computer executable instructions executed by processor(s) 220 to perform functions in conjunction with router QoS process to control traffic at the router as appropriate (e.g., as configured and/or as required by router QoS). Notably, traffic controlling (e.g., for QoS), generally, may comprise, e.g., dropping traffic, reordering traffic, marking traffic, queuing traffic (in a particular manner and/or in particular queues 266), shaping traffic, etc., as may be appreciated by those skilled in the art. In particular, traffic may be controlled (e.g., according to one or more embodiments described herein) to provide QoS functionality comprising, for example: supporting dedicated bandwidth, improving loss characteristics, avoiding and managing network congestion, shaping network traffic, setting traffic priorities across the network, etc.
Cable modem process (operating system) 270 may be operable to provide cable is modem functions for traffic received from router (process) 120(260), as well as from cable network 140. Cable modem process 270 receives the traffic and converts the traffic into a transmission medium/format suitable for the network onto which the traffic may be forwarded from the cable modem. For instance, cable network protocol services 272 may contain computer executable instructions executed by processor(s) 220 to perform functions provided by one or more cable network protocols, such as in accordance with the known Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS�) (e.g., version 2.0). For example, the DOCSIS standard outlines a technique to enforce cable modem QoS using policies that are "pushed down" to the cable modem. The service provider of the cable network 140 defines these policies and then uses the CMTS 150 to push down the policies to the cable modem. These policies comprise both the criteria that define service-flows and the properties (e.g., allocated bandwidth) for each service-flow. Illustratively, DOCSIS 2.0 defines up to sixteen types of service-flows having different parameters (classifications/characteristics), such as max burst, bandwidth, throughput, latency, jitter, etc., as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
Cable modem QoS process 274 may contain computer executable instructions executed by processor(s) 220 to perform functions related to the treatment/management of the data/traffic in accordance with cable modem QoS. In particular, cable modem QoS may be based on one or more cable network policies that define a particular treatment to be applied to particular service-flows. For example, as data/traffic is received at the cable modem process/operating system 270 from router 260, the traffic may be placed into service-flow queues 276 (e.g., for a particular service-flow) for forwarding the traffic onto the cable network 140, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. In this manner, the cable modem may be configured to handle each service-flow in a different way. For example, voice traffic, which generally has higher constraints of jitter and delay, may be classified within a particular service-flow suitable for voice calls, and may be treated differently (e.g., queued separately) from data traffic, which generally has less constraints. As such, if data traffic is congested at the cable modem or within the cable network 140, voice traffic service-flows may still be afforded a necessary amount of available bandwidth on the network.
In operation, the cable modem (process) 270 receives traffic from the router (process) 260 and transmits the traffic onto the cable network 140. (Conversely, the cable modem also receives traffic from the cable network 140, and may transmit that traffic to the router, accordingly.) Conventionally, the router 120/260 and cable modem 130/270 are not the same network device, and are interconnected with an external link, such as Ethernet. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the disclosure, however, the router and cable modem may be co-located on the same network device 200, and may be interconnected with an R-CM interface 280 (e.g., a messaging protocol used with the IPC mechanism) as described herein. As mentioned above, the cable modem may transmit the received traffic from the router onto the cable network at a fixed rate or at a variable rate, e.g., based on network backpressure from network 140 or more particularly from CMTS 150, as will be understood by those skilled in the art.
As noted, a problem associated with the operation of routers and cable modems is that the cable network bandwidth is often variable (e.g., exceeding a minimum guaranteed rate), and the router generally has no way of knowing what is the current available bandwidth. In particular, because the router is unaware of service-flows as utilized by the cable modem, the router is conventionally unable to distinguish between service-flows, and thus is unable to apply router QoS on a per-service-flow basis. As such, even if the router were aware of the variable available bandwidth of the cable modem/network, the router would conventionally not be able to apply router QoS to particular service-flows (which, notably, may have different available bandwidths), and would thus be unable to apply effective QoS applicable for the cable network.
Applying Router QoS on a Cable Modem Interface on a Per-Service-Flow Basis
According to embodiments of the disclosure, a cable modem determines network backpressure per service-flow, and transmits the network backpressure per service-flow to a router (e.g., co-located on a same network device). Also, the cable modem may transmit service-flow classifications to the router, such that the router may then control traffic per service-flow based on the network backpressure per service-flow, accordingly.
In an illustrative embodiment, router process (operating system) 260 and cable modem process (operating system) 270 of the network device 200 are integrated onto a single network device 200, and/or may be interconnected by an R-CM interface 280 to perform functions related to the novel techniques described herein, e.g., to apply router QoS on a cable modem interface on a per-service-flow basis. In particular, the interface 280 may be internal to operating system 242 (e.g., IPC), internal as a physical connection (e.g., Ethernet) between portions of device (e.g., access points 215), external as a physical connection between two devices, or external as a physical connection out from the device 200 and back into the device 200, etc.
Operationally, the cable modem 270 may transmit service-flow classifications to the router 260, such as over the R-CM interface 280. In particular, the router benefits from the ability to distinguish which packets are destined for a particular upstream service-flow at the cable modem. Accordingly, the cable modem may provide this information by supporting control plane messages that indicate service-flow parameters including any corresponding packet filtering information. That is, with packet filters, which indicate particular characteristics (e.g., source/destination addresses of packets of a particular flow), the router can distinguish which packets are destined for a particular service-flow. With service-flow parameters, the router may determine to which service-flow an unfiltered packet will most likely be assigned by the cable modem. As such, the router may correlate service-flows of the cable modem with particular classes of data/traffic (such as voice and data flows) of the router, creating a mapping between data types/classes of the router with service-flows of the cable modem (the use of which is described herein).
In accordance with one or more embodiments described herein, the cable modem 270 may determine network backpressure per service-flow, such as from feedback from the CMTS 150, or from queues/buffers 276 and associated thresholds (water-marks). For instance, assume that service-flow A is congested on the cable network 140. As such, the CMTS 150 may send a notification to cable modems 130/270 that service-flow is congested. Alternatively, cable modem 270 may determine that service-flow A is congested due to the fact that a corresponding service-flow queue 276 has surpassed a configurable threshold of network backpressure. In particular, the threshold may be passed because the queue is emptying slowly (e.g., cable network backpressure and/or cable modem queue rate), or because the router 120/260 is sending service-flow A traffic at too high a rate for the cable modem to sufficiently handle.
Upon determining network backpressure per service-flow (which, notably, implies either determining that the backpressure surpasses a threshold, or determining an actual amount of network backpressure), the cable modem 130/270 may transmit the network backpressure to the router 120/260. In other words, the transmission of backpressure may be flow control signals that are indications from the cable modem 270 to the router 260 to indicate that a given service-flow is (or is becoming) congested. When the cable modem has queued more than a high number of bytes described by the high water-mark to a particular upstream service-flow (e.g., service-flow A), the cable modem indicates to the router that the particular service-flow is congested.
In particular, the network backpressure may be transmitted to the router over the R-CM interface 280, which may comprise a hardware indication/message 285 (e.g., electronic '1' or '0' values), or a signaling message 285 of an exchange protocol between the cable modem and the router. In this manner, the R-CM interface 280 not only carries service-flow parameter/classification information as described above, but may also carry the network backpressure indications for each upstream service-flow, accordingly. Notably, in this sense, the R-CM interface 280 may comprise IPC messages and/or out-of-band signaling, such as for non-Ethernet interfaces (e.g., hardware '1' and '0' transmission lines) in addition to the Ethernet interface adapted to transmit/carry traffic/data between the router and the cable modem (i.e., there are multiple connections/links represented by interface 280, accordingly). Also, the transmission of network backpressure may be an "on" or "off" transmission, e.g., indicating that there is or is not congestion for a particular service flow, or may be an indication of actual amounts/values, e.g., a percentage/amount of available service-flow queue space/bytes, a graduated indication of is congestion (e.g., slightly loaded, moderately loaded, very loaded, overloaded, etc.). Accordingly, the messages 285 over the R-CM interface 280 may be adequately configured (e.g., as a proprietary protocol or otherwise) to convey the appropriate information as configured for the cable-modem and/or router.
Also in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein, the router 270 may control traffic on a per-service-flow basis based on the network backpressure per service-flow. Specifically, by determining which particular data/traffic at the router corresponds to which particular service-flow of the cable modem (e.g., and based on applied packet filters), the router may apply router QoS to the appropriate service-flow (that is, to the data/traffic corresponding to the appropriate service-flow). In other words, the router uses these congestion indications (cable modem backpressure) to provide feedback into its own queuing operations, so that router QoS functionality may be applied to these queuing operations (e.g., functionality as mentioned above). For example, if service-flow A is congested, then the backpressure (over interface 280) to the router 260 may result in controlling data/traffic corresponding to service-flow A, accordingly. As noted, traffic controlling, generally, may comprise, e.g., dropping traffic, reordering traffic, marking traffic, queuing traffic, shaping traffic, etc., as may be appreciated by those skilled in the art. (Moreover, note that without the techniques described herein, a generic backpressure indication, such as a PAUSE frame, would have conventionally caused the router to cease transmission of all traffic to the cable modem, such that both service flows A and B would have suffered.) Further, if the notification of backpressure provides an actual amount of backpressure as mentioned above, then the router may be configured to provide QoS specifically tailored for the amount of backpressure, such as determining how to deal with the possible/approaching congestion of one or more particular service-flows.
In addition to applying router QoS on a per-service-flow basis, the router 260 may also divide service-flows into sub-flows for better differentiation. For instance, if the cable network defines a certain set of service-flows, the router may apply additional parameters to the flows for greater granularity when applying router QoS. For example, if one particular service-flow corresponds to, e.g., voice traffic parameters, then the router may be able to divide the "voice" service-flow into sub-flows for other parameters, such is as prioritizing certain clients' voice calls over other clients' calls, etc. In this manner, the router and cable modem combination may perform more granularly and more effectively than the two devices separately.
Once the backpressure is relieved, that is, upon reaching a reduced network backpressure for a particular service-flow (e.g., A) that is below a configurable threshold (a low water-mark), the cable modem 270 may either cease transmission of the network backpressure for the particular service-flow, or may indicate to the router 260 that the service-flow is no longer congested. In response, the router 260 may correspondingly cease traffic controlling for that particular service-flow. Accordingly, then, the combination of per service-flow backpressure indications and service-flow classifier parameters provides the router with the information it needs to apply router QoS on a per-service-flow basis.
During its operation, the router 120/260 may control the traffic per service-flow in step 630 based on the received backpressure per service-flow from the cable modem 130/270, accordingly. For instance, if the backpressure remains above the second threshold (e.g., to prevent oscillations, as mentioned above) in step 635, then the procedure may return to step 630, such that the router continues to control traffic until instructed otherwise by the cable modem. (Alternatively, the procedure 600 may return to step 625 where the cable modem re-determines and continually transmits the backpressure to the router.) If the backpressure is reduced below the second threshold in step 635, then the router is informed in step 640, traffic controlling at the router (that is, for this particular service-flow and for this particular reason) is ceased, and the procedure returns to step 615 for the cable modem to monitor/determine the backflow, accordingly.
Advantageously, the novel techniques described herein apply router QoS on a cable modem interface on a per-service-flow basis in a computer network. By effectively integrating a router and a cable modem as described above (e.g., internally and/or externally), the novel techniques provide a router with the ability to apply router QoS (e.g., in addition to cable modem QoS) to prioritize traffic according to local rules and service-flows, and to also divide service-flows into sub-flows for improved differentiation. In particular, the techniques described above allow a router to utilize substantially all of the bandwidth available to the cable modem, as determined by the backpressure from the cable modem and cable network. Also, the dynamic aspects of one or more embodiments described herein alleviate the need for cumbersome and inefficient manual configuration, and allow for real-time adjustments of router QoS and traffic controlling, accordingly.
While there have been shown and described illustrative embodiments that apply is router QoS on a cable modem interface on a per-service-flow basis in a computer network, it is to be understood that various other adaptations and modifications may be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the embodiments have been shown and described herein in accordance with particular conventional protocols (e.g., DOCSIS). However, the embodiments of the invention in their broader sense are not so limited, and may, in fact, be used with other protocols that may be adapted for use in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein (e.g., having particularly-defined service-flows, etc.). Also, while the above description has been directed to cable modems and cable networks, other suitable network devices and networks may advantageously utilize the techniques described above, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modems and DSL networks.
The foregoing description has been directed to specific embodiments of this invention. It will be apparent, however, that other variations and modifications may be made to the described embodiments, with the attainment of some or all of their advantages. For instance, it is expressly contemplated that the components and/or elements described herein can be implemented as software, including a computer-readable medium having program instructions executing on a computer, hardware, firmware, or a combination thereof. Also, electromagnetic signals may be generated to carry computer executable instructions that implement aspects of the present invention over, e.g., a wireless data link or a data network, such as the Internet. Accordingly this description is to be taken only by way of example and not to otherwise limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Kristin Hannah, Beth Hoffman, and Kate Jacobs, this luminous novel from the author of Friendship Bread follows a group of fascinating women who form deep friendships through their love of scrapbooking—as memories are preserved, dreams are shared, and surprising truths are revealed.
Welcome to Avalon, Illinois, Pop. 4,243
At Madeline's Tea Salon, the cozy hub of the Avalon community, local residents scrapbook their memories and make new ones. But across town, other Avalonians are struggling to free themselves of the past: Isabel Kidd is fixing up her ramshackle house while sorting through the complications of her late husband's affair. Ava Catalina is mourning the love of her life and helping her young son grow up without his father. Local plumber Yvonne Tate is smart, beautiful, and new to Avalon, but finds that despite a decade of living life on her own terms, the past has a way of catching up—no matter where she goes. And Frances Latham, mother to a boisterous brood of boys, eagerly anticipates the arrival of a little girl from China—unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of foreign adoption.
Enter Bettie Shelton, the irascible founder of the Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society. Under Bettie's guidance, even the most reluctant of Avalon's residents come to terms with their past and make bold decisions about their future. But when the group receives unexpected news about their steadfast leader, they must pull together to create something truly memorable.
By turns humorous, wise, and deeply moving, The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society is a luminous reminder that the things we hold most dear will last a lifetime.
"In a gathering of women there will always be compelling stories. Throw in a love of craft and these stories take on a whole new dynamic. There are shared secrets, support, encouragement, and love as the Avalon Ladies come to terms with the past and boldly step forward into the future."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Praise for Darien Gee and The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society
"In a gathering of women there will always be compelling stories. Throw in a love of craft and these stories take on a whole new dynamic. There are shared secrets, support, encouragement, and love as the Avalon Ladies come to terms with the past and boldly step forward into the future."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
"There are many threads to this story (including a female plumber with a secret past), but, like a good scrapbooker, Gee puts them all together beautifully. Bettie is the glue that holds the residents of Avalon together—whether they like it or not—and as she seems to unravel, the town comes together. This funny, moving book is the follow-up to Friendship Bread (2011), although The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society can stand on its own. A welcome addition to any women's-fiction collection and a good choice for fans of Debbie Macomber's knitting series."Booklist
"A three-hanky nod to It's a Wonderful Life. Gee—who also writes as Mia King (Table Manners)—gets the unapologetically schmaltzy tone just right with the irresistible premise that we can love the impossible. A surefire book club hit." Publisher's Weekly
"In this exceptionally well-written novel you'll find heartwarming inspiration, humor, wisdom and endless charm … This is one of those books you'll want to tell your friends about so you can talk about the antics and struggles that will stay in your heart long after the final page is turned. Gee is an author to keep a close eye on." RT Book Reviews
"Truly charming! You'll want to read and then immediately share with your best friends (and then start a scrapbooking society of your own!). Darien Gee writes about friendship and family with depth, grace and heart."—Sarah Jio, New York Times bestselling author of Blackberry Winter and The Violets of March
"Darien Gee pieces together lives and scraps with the skill and heart of a true storyteller. The ladies of Avalon will have you calling your sisters and girlfriends to share old memories and make new ones. I loved it!"—Lisa Wingate, bestselling author of Dandelion Summer and Blue Moon Bay

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
The goat was Connie's idea.
"I'm not so sure about this," Madeline Davis says, frowning. At seventy-five she's trying to make her life simpler, not the other way around. Then again, running a tea salon isn't what most people her age are doing these days. Madeline's days are busy, yes, but she goes to sleep each night happily content, her heart full. And for the past year she's had Connie Colls, her tea salon manager, an unexpected godsend with black spiky hair who has also become her friend and housemate.
Now Connie is tearfully looking at her and Madeline feels herself wavering. Connie has never asked for anything before and seeing this young woman about to cry is more than Madeline can bear.
"Well . . ." she says reluctantly. "Maybe for a couple of days until you can find a more suitable home." She watches as the goat sniffs its way around the garden, then starts chewing on a patch of orange nasturtiums.
"Oh!" Connie wipes her eyes and hurries toward the goat. She waves her hands over the flowers in an attempt to shoo the goat away, but the animal ignores her.
Lord, Madeline knows how this is going to go. She watches as Connie tugs unsuccessfully on the goat's makeshift collar, a frayed rope with a tail that has been chewed through. Well, the good news is that the goat belongs to someone. They just have to find out who.
"I'm going inside," she tells Connie, who's trying to drag the goat into the shade of a walnut tree.
"Thank you, Madeline," Connie says, forcing a bright smile. "She won't be any trouble at all, I promise."
"Hmm. Well, I think she's eating my Double Delights."
Connie turns, stricken. "No! No roses! Bad goat!"
Madeline just shakes her head and walks through the back door of the house into the kitchen.
The morning light streams in behind her, a generous sliver of sunshine falling onto the farmer's table that rests in the middle of the kitchen. Fresh loaves of Amish Friendship Bread, scones, and muffins are cooling on wire racks. Two arugula-and-bacon quiches are in the oven. Her kitchen is fragrant and inviting, and Madeline knows that her customers find these smells a reassuring comfort. They come to Madeline's Tea Salon for that very reason--the promise of good food and an encouraging smile. A kind word and possibly a joke or two, depending on her mood.
If they're lucky they may get more, like an impromptu performance by Hannah Wang, the young cellist who used to play with the New York Philharmonic and who now resides in Avalon. There's Bettie Shelton, too, with her mobile scrapbooking business. She comes in under the pretense of ordering a pot of Darjeeling tea while she indiscreetly sets up her wares at an adjoining table. On the days Bettie is here even the least crafty Avalonian or unsuspecting tourist is sure to leave with a packet of patterned paper and random embellishments. Madeline remembers what happened last month when a group of men had lunch at the salon, hunched over a table as they ate, speaking in low whispers. It was clear by their body language that they didn't want to be disturbed. Bettie, however, had marched up to them undaunted. Less than a minute later the men found their table littered with colorful ribbons and glittery sequins. Two men bought scrapbooking starter kits, dazed looks on their faces as they handed their money to Bettie. As quickly as she had arrived, Bettie was gone, leaving everyone to wonder what happened while Madeline cleared her table with a chuckle.
The small brass bell over the front door tinkles. A pair of women walk in, smile at Madeline, and choose a table by the window. Madeline knows it's only a matter of time before the tea salon will be bustling with people and laughter.
She selects several tins of the chamomile and rooibos tea blend from the large antique armoire that graces the dining room. She's not sure what came first--discovering so many wonderful finds at garage sales and antiques stores and then pondering what to put in them, or knowing that she wanted to sell her own tea blends and looking for an artful way to display them. It was a small thing to help pass the time in those early months when business was slow, but now it's taken on a life of its own. Connie wants them to open an online store but that's more than Madeline is willing to take on right now. At the moment this balance feels just right, however hectic it may be.
In the kitchen, Connie is at the sink, scrubbing her hands. "Serena took off into the neighbor's yard but she's back now," she says, a look of apologetic guilt on her face when Madeline walks in. "She, uh, kind of ate a few heads of lettuce from their garden."
Madeline raises an eyebrow. "Kind of?"
Connie fakes a cough. "Well, she ate them, but then she threw them back up." Connie wipes her hands on a dishtowel, avoiding eye contact. "I'll call the vet later to see if there's anything special we should be feeding her. Maybe Serena has a delicate stomach."
Goodness. Madeline isn't sure what's more concerning, that Connie has named the goat or that the goat has found its way into Walter Lassiter's vegetable garden. His wife, Dolores, doesn't mind the steady traffic of the tea salon but Walter is always looking for something to complain about. Madeline has a feeling that a stray goat may push him over the edge.
"I'm sure Serena's stomach is fine," she says, handing Connie the tea. "Do you mind wrapping these? Dora Ponce is putting together a gift basket for the Rotary Club auction and I told her we'd make a donation."
"Sure." Connie drapes an apron over her head. "I'll use that pretty paper I picked up at the farmer's market last week. Ruth Pavord is selling her whole stock--she's going to start making birdhouses instead." Connie is about to say more when there's a holler from the dining room. It's followed by the unmistakable sound of porcelain breaking.
"Help!" they hear one of the women shout. "There's a wild beast in here!" Connie hurries to the dining room. There's a stern reprimand and then another exclamation accompanied by the sound of more good china crashing to the floor.
To outsiders Avalon may look like a nondescript river town, but Madeline knows better. She reaches for the broom and dustpan with a happy sigh, then heads to the dining room.
Isabel grasps the hammer and pounds the for sale sign into her front lawn. The earth is hard and unyielding, dry from too much Illinois heat, another long hot August that shows no sign of relief. Maybe she should have watered the lawn first. Maybe she should have hired that redheaded kid from down the street. Maybe she should have called a real estate agent to list her house properly instead of trying to do it on her own, like so many things these days.
But Isabel doesn't want to wait for people to call her back, to check their schedules, to haggle a fee. To find the garden hose, wherever that is.
Bang bang bang. The sign shakes and shivers.
Last night, when she was the last person wandering the dusky streets after a seven o'clock showing of The Man from M.A.R.S., Isabel had stopped at the hardware store to pick up some laundry detergent. There they were, right by the entrance, on clearance. Fifteen cans of paint stacked in a pyramid, pointing to the sky.
Isabel thought about her house, of the stove and kitchen table, of the fridge and nubby dishtowels. The living room furniture, the bedroom set, the chipped cherrywood table in the hallway. She thought of her tired walls, the ceilings, the doors. There was a time when she dreamed they'd live in that house forever, have children in it, grow old in it. But Isabel's had to let that dream go. So what's she still doing in Avalon?
"I'll take them all," she'd told the cashier, handing him a hundred-dollar bill. "And some of those brushes, too."
She declined a drop cloth, spackle, turpentine. Too many things to remember. Just the paint, she'd said. And then she saw it. A sign, bent at the corners, leaning forlornly against the bags of organic lawn fertilizer.
She bought that, too.
Isabel steps back to survey her work. The sign is crooked, but it's clearly visible from the street. She knows her neighbors will be curious, maybe even nervous that she's selling. Avalon is the sort of place where most people come to settle down, where families spend whole lifetimes. Isabel herself married into this small town, Bill having been born and raised here. Buried here, too, almost four years now.
There's a flutter of curtains from the house next door. It's her neighbor Bettie Shelton, the town fussbudget. Isabel knows Bettie had a hand in spreading the news about Bill's departure and then his death two months later, a wrong turn down a one-way street. Casseroles had sprouted on her porch like mushrooms.
"Isabel Kidd!" she hears Bettie holler from inside her house. Bettie's silvery-blue hair is still in curlers. She struggles to open the window, then settles on rapping the glass, the look on her face indignant. "What the heck do you think you're doing?"
Isabel gives the sign a tap with the hammer.
"Isabel? Do you hear me?"
Isabel pretends to pick at a speck of dust on the sign.
Exasperated, Isabel scowls. "Of course I hear you! Who doesn't hear you?" Catty-corner from her house, Isabel sees Peggy Lively emerge from her house, dressed in her fuzzy pink bathrobe. "You hear her, don't you, Peggy?"
Peggy stares at Isabel and the hammer for a moment before glancing down the empty street. Then she grabs the morning paper from her walk and hurries back inside, slamming the door shut behind her. Isabel hears the lock sliding into place.
Isabel shoots Bettie an annoyed look and then gives the sign one last pound for good measure. She heads back into the house, knowing that Bettie's prying eyes are watching her retreat.
In her living room, the paint cans are laid out like a labyrinth, waiting. Isabel hesitates, tentative, suddenly unsure. Putting up the for sale sign was easy, knowing it could be pulled up at any time, no harm done, a whim put to bed. But this is different. Once done, it can't be undone.
She reaches for the can closest to her, uses a screwdriver to crack the lid open. She gazes at the placid pool of paint. Whisper White. She gives it a stir, the smell tickling her nose.
Her first stroke on the wall is uneven, streaking, her second stroke no better. But still the paint glistens, beckoning, a stark contrast to the tired gray hue that's been there for years. Isabel dips the brush again and swirls it until the bristles are heavy with paint, then lifts and tries again. This time there's a thick swath of white, smooth and complete. She follows with another stroke, bolder this time.
It goes faster than she thinks, and soon the entire wall is done. It's a blank stare looking back at her, giving away nothing. Isabel leans closer, looking for a hint of the past, but sees nothing other than her own shadow as the tip of her nose bumps against the damp wall. Ouch. And then Isabel remembers other white walls.
There, that wasn't so bad, was it?
No, doctor, it wasn't.
Of course he had asked her when she was in a morphine-induced haze, easy and agreeable, happy to talk to anyone and everyone. Bill had been by her side, stunned and sad, knowing that this was it, their last chance. They weren't going to try anymore. It didn't matter, he would try to assure her when she lay in bed, night after night, her pillow damp with tears. It was enough, just the two of them. He'd hold her fingertips to his lips and kiss each one gently. A promise.
It would be a few more years before Bill would leave, that promise forgotten. They had said it wouldn't change them, but it had, and whatever it was they lost they couldn't get back. Isabel wasn't happy but she wasn't unhappy, either. It was tolerable. She still loved Bill and she knew he loved her, and yet a whole chasm spanned between them, pushing them further and further apart with each day that passed. If she had to she could live out her life this way, in polite deference to each other, a peaceful coexistence in the same space, the same life. It wasn't ideal but it was enough for Isabel. Not, apparently, for Bill.
What is it with dentists and their dental assistants? It's an embarrassing cliche that Isabel has to live with. My husband left me for his dental assistant, a woman ten years younger than me. At the time Isabel had thought it couldn't get any worse, that nothing could usurp this abandonment, but she was wrong.
She hadn't been prepared for the baby announcement, had cracked the seal of the envelope without thinking. She thought it was a belated sympathy card, a few months late. She pulled out the stiff card and saw a chubby cherub of a baby with Bill's unmistakable bright blue eyes and Dumbo ears.
So now, at the ripe old age of thirty-eight, Isabel Kidd is alone. No husband, no children. An unsatisfying job as a customer service representative for a corrugated paper company in Rockford, about forty-five minutes away. Some money from Bill's pension. His share of the dental practice went to his partner, Randall Strombauer, a man Isabel never cared for. He's the one who hired the assistant with an eye, Isabel suspects, of having her all to himself. Randall was the single guy while Bill was safely ensconced in a marriage of twelve years. An open playing field with Randall as the only player. But, of course, things have a way of not working out as planned.
The remaining walls in the living room look shabby and lifeless, dull neighbors to the freshly painted wall. That's how it goes sometimes. She could keep it as an accent wall, but she feels for the others. They deserve a fresh start as well. After all, they were all innocent bystanders.
This time she'll do it differently--no need to slap one stroke on after the other. After all, this is her house, her walls. She can do whatever she wants with it.
Isabel dips her brush and begins again.
Yvonne Tate checks the address one last time before shoving the scrap of paper into her pocket. The house in front of her is a modest bungalow with a white picket fence, sycamore trees lining the street. She opens the gate and goes up the walk, noticing the postage-stamp lawn and garden. Flower boxes filled with geraniums and impatiens in a summer burst of colors line the windows, butterflies dancing in the garden. It's a sweet home.

Best little Disposable Bikini Shavers ever! I was so upset when every WalMart in my area took them off the shelf. I ordered 10 packs, but hate that I have to order them online. Please bring them back to the shelves at WalMart !
I cannot shave my bikini area with a razor, so I tried these one day and wow!! You absolutely CANNOT cut yourself with these. It gives a very very close shave. You don't have the worries of cutting or knicking yourself like you would with a razor. Awesome product!!!
I recently went on a trip to Texas, and was introduced to this product by a friend. She got so excited when she saw them on the shelf that I was like, "Ok, I need to try these." Well... OMG!!! There's not a woman alive who won't fall in love with these razers immediately after the first use. No cuts, knicks, or irritation. Easy to use, and cute as a button. Move over, bikini wax!!! FINALLY!!!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Thanks Lea Ann!!! ;-)
I really like these razors. I don't have to worry about nicking myself or any irritation. However I am very disappointed that my Walmart no longer carries these. I have bought an electric razor but I don't feel comfortable using it plus it is hard to get into the tight places since the head of it is not small enough. I also found them at the dollar store they are the dollar store brand but they are junk tried them and don't like them they pull and do not shave close. I really wish my walmart would bring these back I don't understand why when Walmart gets a product you like and then they stop carring it in the stores it is very disappointing. I will deffinatly be ordering a couple packs off the website and stocking up...
these razors need to be in stock at the store. They work great.
Thanks! I have been looking for this in store but theyre not available. So now I ordered a lot online!
For a disposable razor it cant get any better! i highly approve and recommend this product. Clean, close, safe shave. I dont travel without one. And if you have sensitive underarms you can also use this for that area
I have used before, but have a hard time finding these in the store on a regular basis.
Read quite a few good reviews, so I was hopeful enough to be a little let down. It's a good size and shape, and I suppose pretty good value for the price. Not quite as close a shave as I was hoping for, but definitely not the worst. I do plan to use the rest of them.
I love this little shaver! I use it for underarm shaving and the bikini area. It works perfectly and shaves smoothly! I had been looking for something like this (small, compact but effective) because the larger razors wouldn't slide smoothly into the grooves of my armpits and it had become a chore shaving. This shaver makes it a snap!
Noxema's bikini razors are an excellent way to remove unwanted bikini area hairs and the razors are sharp and very easy to use! Great value for the price - I ordered online but wish Walmart carried these in stores.
These are the only shavers that won't cut you when you shave. I love them. Wish they would sell them in the store.
I love these disposable shavers! Unfortunately, I can NOT find them at my local Walmart anymore! I thought I would check online to see if they were available. They are OUT OF STOCK online at Walmart.com! I love them so much I just ordered them online from someone else for $1.02 more per package! Come on Walmart...cater to your customer's needs! From the looks of the other reviews, I am not alone!
Please put these back in the stores!
Love this product. Had to order online because I couldn't find it in the store.
These are the absolute best bikini razors... but they are super hard to find! Why do they always discontinue or stop selling in store popular items?! I'll never understand that! Anyways... I bought 5 packs of these just in case lol! I will definitely buy them again from Walmart! :)
I have tried different types of razors and electric trimmers, and suffered from razor burn, bumps and ingrown hairs for years...until I started using these Nozema bikini shavers. This product is by far the best I've tried. Always a smooth shave and I never get razor bumps or any irritation. The small size is also ideal. I was devastated when Walmart stopped carrying it in store. Walmart, if you're listening, please, please bring them back to the shelves!
I've used these for years, since middle school & I am 22 now, I was so furious that Walmart in my area took these off the shelf.. now I have to buy online and needless to say I bought 10 packs so I could keep in stock and wouldn't have to order constantly. But overall the best bikini razors around!
I have very sensitive skin, especially in the bikini area and am prone to ingrown hairs. With the guard on these razors, I can get a close shave that isn't too close. It doesn't irritate my skin and I love the control I have. The only problem I have is that my local Walmart doesn't carry this product year round. I've been waiting for these babies to come back in stock! These are a must-have for any woman who likes to be clean shaven or is planning on donning lingerie or a bikini.
When I started getting big during my pregnancy it obviously became harder to shave and trim. I picked these up to try thinking that if they didn't work I wouldn't waste much money but if they did great. I am excited to say these work great!! I was really impressed but how well it worked and also how long it lasts. I get a few uses out of one before having to toss. And the best part is I can use the product blind/without having to use a mirror. Pregnant ladies, do yourselves a favor and pick up a couple packs of these to get you through your second and third trimesters. I plan to continue using these after my baby is born because I love them! :)
