This invention relates to networking and, more particularly, to aggregation protocols.
Sophisticated network devices, such as routers, often have limited scalability. For example, a router may support a maximum number of ports. As a result, a customer that requires a few ports more than the maximum will have to purchase two routers, despite only needing slightly more ports than are provided by a single router. Since sophisticated network devices tend to be expensive, having to purchase an additional router can be a significant expense.
In order to improve the scalability of sophisticated network devices, systems are being designed in which one network device (referred to as the primary device) configures, controls, and/or performs certain functions for other network devices (referred to as secondary devices). For example, a primary device can be configured to perform routing and/or forwarding for secondary devices. These secondary devices effectively behave like internal components (e.g., line cards) of the primary device, and thus secondary devices can be used to supplement the number of ports that are effectively available on the primary device. Because the secondary devices do not need to implement certain functionality (since those functionality is provided by the primary device), the secondary devices can be much less expensive than the primary device. Accordingly, once a customer has purchased a primary device, the customer can add on less expensive secondary devices any time that the customer requires additional ports for the primary device.
In some systems, the primary network device uses an aggregation protocol (such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP)) to establish a control relationship with each secondary device. This control relationship enables the primary device to configure, control, and/or perform certain functions for the secondary device. For scalability purposes, it is desirable to be able to connect several secondary devices to a single port of the primary network device using a daisy chain arrangement. However, such an arrangement is not currently feasible, since aggregation protocols can only be used between directly-connected devices. Thus, in current systems, the primary device must be connected to each secondary device by a separate port. Accordingly, techniques that allow several secondary devices to be coupled to a primary network device via a daisy chain arrangement are desirable. Such techniques need to allow non-directly-connected devices to participate in aggregation protocol sessions with each other.
A more complete understanding of the present invention may be acquired by referring to the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments of the invention are provided as examples in the drawings and detailed description. It should be understood that the drawings and detailed description are not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed. Instead, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
The solid lines that connect nodes represent physical links. The dashed line between Node 10(N) and Node 10(0) represents an optional link that can connect the ends of the daisy chain to provide a redundant pathway (a configuration that includes such a redundant pathway is referred to herein as a "protected" daisy chain).
Node 10(0) establishes an aggregation protocol session, using an aggregation protocol such as Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), with each of nodes 10(1)-10(N). Each aggregation protocol session is used to detect whether multiple links are present between a pair of network nodes and, if so, to aggregate those links into a single logical link. In particular, Session 1 is established between Node 10(0) and Node 10(1), which are directly connected. Session 2 is established between Node 10(0) and Node 10(2), via Node 10(1). Session 10(N) is established between Node 10(0) and Node 10(N), via Nodes 10(1) through 10(N−1). This use of multiple sessions allows Nodes 10(1)-10(N) to operate as if those nodes were each directly connected to Node 10(0) by point-to-point interconnection.
In order to be able to establish aggregation protocol sessions with nodes that are not directly connected with Node 10(0), Node 10(0) uses different identifiers to identify each session, and each session is associated with a different one of Nodes 10(1) through 10(N). These session identifiers are appended to or included in the aggregation protocol packets sent to and from each node. For example, a session identifier can be included within a type-length-value field or within a field of the header (e.g., a destination field) of each aggregation protocol packet.
Nodes 10(1) through 10(N) are configured to only process aggregation protocol packets that are associated with a respective one of the session identifiers. For example, Node 10(1) can be configured to only process aggregation protocol packets that are associated with session identifier 1, while Node 10(2) can be configured to only process aggregation protocol packets that are associated with session identifier 2. In one embodiment, the association between each node and a session identifier is configured dynamically during operation (as opposed to being preconfigured, for example, by an administrator). This scenario also allows Node 10(0) to automatically detect how many nodes are included in the daisy chain.
As an example, Session 1 can be initiated when Node 10(0) is powered on and initially sends an aggregation protocol packet that is associated with a first session identifier, 100, towards Node 10(1). Node 10(1) receives and processes this packet and determines that session identifier 100 is now associated with Node 10(1). Node 10(1) can then send an aggregation protocol packet, which includes session identifier 100 or to which session identifier 100 has been appended, back to Node 10(0). At this point, Session 1 is established. Node 10(0) determines that at least one node is included in the daisy chain, and that session identifier 100 is used to identify aggregation protocol packets being communicated between Nodes 10(0) and 10(1).
Node 10(0) then initiates Session 2 sends another aggregation protocol packet, which is associated with a second session identifier, 200, towards Node 10(1). Node 10(1) receives this packet and, because the packet is associated with a session identifier other than 100, Node 10(1) forwards the packet to the next node along the daisy chain. Node 10(2) then receives the packet and Session 2 is established in the same manner as Session 1.
After Session 2 is established, Node (0) attempts to initiate additional sessions, using a different identifier for each session (e.g., using session identifiers 300 through (N)00). Each of Nodes 10(1) through 10(N) only processes aggregation protocol packets that are associated with a respective identifier; aggregation protocol packets that are associated with other identifiers are passed to subsequent nodes along the daisy chain. For example, Node 10(1) will process aggregation protocol packets associated with session identifier 100 and will forward all other aggregation protocol packets along the daisy chain (e.g., an aggregation protocol packet received from Node 10(0) will be sent towards Node 10(2), and vice versa). The last node in the daisy chain, Node 10(N), can either return such aggregation protocol packets to Node 10(0) (e.g., Node 10(N) can return the packets to Node 10(0) if a return link is provided, as shown by the dashed line in
Session N (which takes place between nodes 10(0) and 10(N) is the last session that is established. When Node 10(0) sends an aggregation protocol packet that is associated with a new session identifier in an attempt to initiate Session N+1, either the protocol packet will be returned to Node 10(0) (e.g., via the return link, if provided) or no response to that protocol packet will be returned within a timeout period (e.g., if Node 10(0) simply drops the packet). If the aggregation protocol packet is returned or times out, Node 10(0) will determine that aggregation protocol sessions have been established with all of the nodes currently in the daisy chain. Node 10(0) can construct a list that identifies each node along the daisy chain, in the order that each node is reached (e.g., the list can identify that Node 10(1) is closest to Node 10(0) left interface, followed by Nodes 10(2)-10(N) in that order). Node 10(0) can periodically attempt to send an aggregation protocol packet with a new session identifier along the daisy chain, in order to detect new nodes that may be added to the daisy chain at a later time.
Similar sessions can also be established in the opposite direction, if the nodes are connected in a protected daisy chain (e.g., if the link represented by the dashed line is present). For example, sessions can be established directly between Nodes 10(0) and 10(N), indirectly between Nodes 10(0) and 10(2) via Nodes 10(N) through 10(3), and indirectly between Nodes 10(0) and 10(1) via Nodes 10(N) through 10(2).
A different session identifier can be associated with each interface of each of Nodes 10(1)-10(N). For example, the interface of Node 10(1) that faces Node 10(0) can be associated with session identifier 100, while the interface of Node 10(1) that faces Node 10(2) can be associated with session identifier 101. Node 10(1) will thus process aggregation protocol packets that are associated with either session identifier 100 or session identifier 101. All other aggregation protocol packets received by Node 10(1) will be passed along the daisy chain.
In such an embodiment, once aggregation protocol sessions in both directions have been established between a pair of nodes, the aggregation protocol can aggregate the links, creating a logical link. For example, the aggregated logical link between Node 10(0) and Node 10(1) includes the direct link coupling Node 10(0) and Node 10(1) as well as the indirect link between Nodes 10(0) and 10(1) that passes through Nodes 10(2) through 10(N)). The aggregated logical link provides the ability to fail over from one physical link in the aggregated logical link to the other. Additionally, the aggregated logical link provides the ability to load balance traffic over the logical link by subdividing traffic among the physical links included in the aggregated logical link (it is noted, however, that some embodiments may not implement load balancing over aggregated logical links implemented in this manner).
In some embodiments that employ protected daisy chain configurations, Node 10(0) configures Nodes 10(1)-10(N) to selectively use a single interface, referred to herein as the "upstream" interface, for normal communications with Node 10(0) via the daisy chain. The non-selected interface is the "downstream" interface and is only used to propagate packets to nodes that are located in the downstream direction. The interface used by Node 10(0) to send data packets to a particular node is the "active" interface with respect to that node; the other interface (within Node 10(0)) that is coupled to the daisy chain (if any) is the "redundant" interface with respect to that node. For example, if Node 10(0) configures each of Nodes 10(1)-10(N) to use their left interfaces ("left" refers to the orientation of the interfaces shown in
In such embodiments, traffic is not load-balanced over the aggregated logical links; instead, the redundant links are used only for redundancy purposes. For example, in the system of
In embodiments that select "upstream" interfaces, nodes can select a new upstream interface in response to failures. Failures can be detected by any of Nodes 10(0)-10(N) in response to either directly detecting a failed device or link or in response to an aggregation protocol packet not being returned within a timeout period. In response to directly detecting a failure, Nodes 10(1)-10(N) can send information (e.g., in a TLV within an aggregation protocol packet) to Node 10(0) identifying the failure (e.g., by identifying the interface that is coupled to the failed device or link). Nodes 10(1) can also automatically designate the other interface as the upstream interface in response to detecting a failure at the current upstream interface.
For example, if the link between Nodes 10(1) and 10(2) fails, Nodes 10(2)-10(N) will need to use their right, or east, interfaces as the "upstream" interface. The left interface (the current upstream interface) of Node 10(2) can detect the failed link and send notification of the failure to Node 10(0) via the right interface. Node 10(2) also reconfigures its right interface as the upstream interface. In response to receiving notice of the failure (either directly from Node 10(2) or in response to an aggregation protocol packet sent to the right interface of Node 10(2) timing out, Node 10(0) reconfigures Nodes 10(3)-10(N) to use their right interfaces as upstream interfaces (alternatively, Nodes 10(3)-10(N) can automatically reconfigure their upstream interface without intervention from Node 10(0) as aggregation protocol packets sent from their left interfaces time out).
In response to detecting the failure (e.g., either by receiving notification from one of the other nodes or by detecting that an aggregation protocol packet has timed out), Node 10(0) will also begin sending data traffic to the other nodes in a manner that avoids the failed link. For example, if the link between Nodes 10(1) and 10(2) fails, Node 10(0) can begin sending data traffic to Nodes 10(2)-10(N) via its right interface. Node 10(0) will continue to communicate with Node 10(1) via the left interface of Node 10(1) (since it will be impossible to communicate with Node 10(1) via its right interface after the link failure).
As noted above, in some embodiments, Node 10(0) is a primary device that includes functionality to configure, control, and/or perform certain functions for Nodes 10(1) through 10(N). This functionality may not be present in Nodes 10(1) through 10(N). For example, in one embodiment, Node 10(0) includes functionality to perform Layer 2 forwarding and Layer 3 routing for Nodes 10(1) through 10(N), and Nodes 10(1) through 10(N) lack any Layer 2 or Layer 3 functionality. Accordingly, Node 10(0) performs forwarding and routing for Nodes 10(1) through 10(N). In situations in which a primary device (e.g., such as Node 10(0)) performs routing and/or forwarding for other nodes (e.g., such as Nodes 10(1)-10(N)), the other nodes are described as "satellite network devices."
In an embodiment that includes satellite network devices, after Node 10(0) establishes aggregation protocol sessions with each of Nodes 10(1) through 10(N), Node 10(O) can then associate the session identifiers with other packets (e.g., other control and/or data packets) sent on the daisy chain in order to identify the appropriate recipient of each packet. For example, Node 10(0) can append the session identifier to each packet (e.g., by attaching a supplemental header to each packet and including the session identifier in the supplemental header). Alternatively, Node 10(0) can insert the session identifier into an existing field of an existing packet header within each packet. Nodes 10(1)-10(N) are configured to parse headers for session identifiers and use these session identifier to decide whether to consume a packet or forward the packet to another node along the daisy chain. The use of the session identifiers allows Nodes 10(1) through 10(N) to pass the packets to the appropriate node along the daisy chain, despite not having forwarding capabilities.
It is noted that in embodiments where Nodes 10(1)-10(N) lack forwarding capabilities, these nodes cannot forward packets based on destination address. Accordingly, the use of session identifiers allows Nodes 10(1)-10(N) to forward packets to other nodes along the daisy chain, without relying on the destination address specified in the packets. The session identifiers also allow each node to identify whether it is the proper recipient of a particular packet.
The method begins at 300, when the primary node sends an aggregation protocol packet via the daisy chain. This aggregation protocol packet includes a first session identifier. In one embodiment, the session identifier is included in a destination index field of the aggregation protocol packet. The aggregation protocol packet can also identify the primary node (e.g., by including the primary node's identifier in a source index field).
If a response to the aggregation protocol packet is received, as determined at 305, the recipient of the first aggregation protocol packet (sent at 300) is identified as the first node in the daisy chain, as shown at 310 (e.g., the primary node can identify the first node by adding information identifying that node to a list). The primary node then increments (or otherwise changes) the session identifier, as shown at 315, and sends a new aggregation protocol packet that includes the new session identifier via the daisy chain, as shown at 320. It is noted that the aggregation protocol packets sent at 300 and 320 are sent via the same interface of the primary node.
If the primary node receives a response to the aggregation protocol packet sent at 325, the primary node identifies the recipient as an intermediate node in the daisy chain (e.g., by adding information identifying the recipient to a list). If the aggregation protocol packet sent at 325 is instead returned or timed out (i.e., if no response to the aggregation protocol packet is received within the time out period), as detected at 325, the primary node identifies the end node in the daisy chain, as shown at 335. The end node is the last node in the daisy chain that returned an aggregation protocol packet.
While functions 300-335 are being performed at one interface of the primary node, the primary node can also be performing functions 300-335 at another interface, if the daisy chain is operating in a protected configuration. The primary node uses different session identifiers at each interface, so that the same session identifier will not be used by both interfaces. Furthermore, functions 300-335 can be repeated periodically.
The primary node can configure each node in the daisy chain after all of the nodes along the daisy chain have been identified using the method of
The first state, S0, is the initial state that an interface defaults to upon power-up. In this state, the interface will consume (i.e., not forward) all packets received by that interface. The interface will only process control packets, such as aggregation protocol packets. Any data packets received by the interface in this state will be dropped.
The next state, S1, is a standby state. In this state, the interface consumes all packets sent by the primary node (in one embodiment, these packets can be identified by the destination index included in each packet). The interface will forward packets that were sent by other non-primary nodes.
State S2 is the state of an interface that is the upstream interface in a node that is not the last node in the daisy chain. In this state, the interface will consume packets that are being sent to the node. The interface uses its session identifier, which is provided to the interface by the primary node, to identify packets that are being sent to that node. If a packet includes the session identifier that is associated with the interface, the interface consumes the packet. Otherwise, the node forwards the packet to the partner interface.
The final state, S3, is the state of the upstream interface in the final node along the daisy chain. This interface consumes packets that are addressed to the node (i.e., packets having the session identifier that is associated with the interface). The interface drops (discards without forwarding) any data packets that are received from other non-primary nodes. All other packets (e.g., other aggregation protocol packets) are forwarded from the partner interface (this partner interface will only be active if the daisy chain is being operated in a protected configuration, however).
As noted above, when a node is powered up, both interfaces that are coupled to the daisy chain will begin operating in state S0. Thus, an interface begins operation in state S0. If either the interface or its partner interface transition to "Up" status, the interface will change state. If the interface itself is "Up," the interface transitions to state S3. If only the partner interface is "Up," the interface transitions to state S1. If both the interface and its partner interface transition back to "Down" status, both interfaces will return to state S0.
In state S1, if the interface transitions to "Up" and its partner interface transitions to "N-Up" (an intermediate interface along the daisy chain), the interface will transition to state S2. If the interface transitions to "Up" and its partner interface transitions to "1-Up," the interface will transition to state S3.
In state S2, if the interface transitions to "Down" status, the interface will transition to state S1. If the interface receives an aggregation protocol packet from the primary node having an "End TLV" (a TLV storing information that identifies the interface as the final interface in the daisy chain), the interface transitions to state S3.
In state S3, if the interface changes status to "Down" and the partner interface remains "Up," the interface will transition to state S1. If the interface receives an aggregation protocol packet from the primary node that lacks the "End TLV," the interface will transition to state S2.
When a packet is received, the packet is identified and analyzed by a network device such as network device 50 in the following manner, according to embodiments of the present invention. Upon receipt, a packet (or some or all of its control information) is sent from the one of port processors 550(1,1)-550(N,N) at which the packet was received to one or more of those devices coupled to data bus 530 (e.g., others of port processors 550(1,1)-550(N,N), forwarding engine 510 and/or control module 500). Handling of the packet can be determined, for example, by forwarding engine 510. For example, forwarding engine 510 may determine that the packet should be forwarded to one or more of port processors 550(1,1)-550(N,N). This can be accomplished by indicating to corresponding one(s) of port processor controllers 560(1)-560(N) that the copy of the packet held in the given one(s) of port processors 550(1,1)-550(N,N) should be forwarded to the appropriate one of port processors 550(1,1)-550(N,N).
In the example of
It is noted that in some embodiments, if network device 50 is a non-primary network node (e.g., if network device 50 is a satellite device), network device 50 may not include certain functionality, such as control module 500. In such an embodiment, functionality needed to participate in an aggregation protocol is implemented in port processor controllers 560(1)-560(N).
Network device 50 also includes interfaces 66(1L) ("L" indicates the left, or west, interface of a device connected to other devices in a daisy chain or protected daisy chain) and 66(1R) ("R" indicates the right, or east, interface of a device connected to other devices in a daisy chain or protected daisy chain). In response to receiving a packet (e.g., such as aggregation protocol packet 610 or data packet 620), interfaces 66(1L) and 66(1R) can store copies of the received packets in memory 608. Processor 602, interfaces 66(1L) and 66(1R), and memory 608 are coupled to send and receive data and control signals by a bus or other interconnect.
In this example, program instructions executable to implement control module 500, which includes aggregation protocol module 580, are stored in memory 606. If network device 50 is a device that is establishing multiple aggregation protocol sessions (each with a different network node on a daisy chain), network device 50 can include multiple aggregation protocol modules 580 (one per aggregation protocol session). The program instructions and data implementing control module 18 can be stored on various computer readable media such as memory 606. In some embodiments, such software is stored on a computer readable medium such as a CD (Compact Disc), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), hard disk, optical disk, tape device, floppy disk, and the like). In order to be executed by processor 602, the instructions and data implementing control module 500 are loaded into memory 606 from the other computer readable medium. The instructions and/or data implementing control module 500 can also be transferred to network device 50 for storage in memory 606 via a network such as the Internet or upon a carrier medium. In some embodiments, a computer readable medium is a carrier medium such as a network and/or a wireless link upon which signals such as electrical, electromagnetic, or digital signals, on which the data and instructions implementing control module 500 are encoded, are conveyed.
Although the present invention has been described in connection with several embodiments, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein. On the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as can be reasonably included within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

About the Author
He spent most of his childhood drawing, as well as most of his teenage and adult years as well. And by age eleven he had made his first book, called "Attack from Mars." It featured Jupitans and lots and lots of drawings of space battles. (It has never been published and world rights are still available.)
He studied illustration at the University of South Australia, where he began to compile a series of notebooks, beginning with #1 in 1993. He had read Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels, The Iliad, and Paul Gallico's Love of Seven Dolls. Classical ideas as well as the great desire to continue what Mervyn Peake had begun but not finished led him to delineate his own world. Hermann Hesse, Kafka and other writers convinced him there were ways to be fantastical without conforming to the generally accepted notions of fantasy. Over the next ten years he filled 23 journals with his pictures, definitions, ideas and histories of his world, the Half-Continent.
It was not until 2003 that a chance encounter with a children's publisher gave him an opportunity to develop these ideas further. Learning of his journals, she bullied him into writing a story from his world. Cornish was sent away with the task of delivering 1,000 words the following week and each week thereafter. Abandoning all other paid work, he spent the next two years propped up with one small advance after the other as his publisher tried desperately to keep him from eating his furniture.
And so Rossamund's story was born - a labor of love over twelve years in the making.

When last we left our intrepid heroes, Rossamund the Lamplighter had been accused of being a . . . well . . . a rossamund. Which is to say, he's accused of being a monster in man's form. Rescued from his accusers by the always impressive Europe, the Branden Rose, Rossamund has become her factotum to escape the public eye.Read more ›
Eventually I'm going to have to shell out some extra dough for an import edition with the REAL title, the good, catchy, original title, and artwork appropriate to the atmosphere of the piece, as well as matching the previous books of the trilogy on my shelf.
Cornish delivers the goods, thankfully. It's a great story. But this one was packaged by tasteless cowardly MORONS. At least the madness is only here in the States.
I didn't want it to end, something that hasn't happened since I read Lord of the Rings a gazillion years ago. But more than that, the ending took me by surprise, I wasn't expecting things to turn out quite as they did, which has left me longing to continue traveling with Rossamund and learn more about his unique world and its history. Perhaps D. M. Cornish will tell us more about Rossamund's life. Perhaps, as young adults, he will let the young hero meet up once again with Threnody from book two. But that is probably only a dream this reader longs for.
I would tell anyone who wants to read these book to have all three of them at hand so that there is no pause between one book and the next, else you might lose the flow of the story and become confused by the wordage. I would tell them not to be intimidated by the length of the books. I would tell them to go slowly, to savor the language and style of writing. I would tell them to explore the glossary and appendix as it can only help a reader become more grounded in the story. I would tell them to allow themselves to become immersed in this strange new world which is both terrible and beautiful, bizarre and homely all at the same time. I would tell them to open their hearts to both monster and human alike as both have their good and evil sides.
I could not, however, be somewhat disappointed with several aspects of the third novel, Factotum. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed this book even more than the previous two, but the conclusion left me feeling that all the loose ends had not been covered.
After building up the complex relationship between Rossamund and Threnody in the first two books, she just disappears in the third altogether in the concluding third book - what gives? Numps also all but disappears, along with Sebastipole, a character that we grew very fond of and attached to as one of Rossamund's few supporters.
The story-line for the conniving of the Master-of-Clerks, and the sinister Swill do not seem to play out fully, but end abruptly with their demise - I would have hoped for a greater exploration of what motivated them, and was expecting that there would be an ultimate showdown between these deadly characters and Rossamund .
Perhaps I am being a bit too fussy, but I would have liked a neat clear 'feel good' ending. I can only hope that a fourth book might be in the offing...

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by JB@BigD: Good Cruise
Overall Member Rating
Good Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Houston
We cruise only from S Texas. We have cruised out of Bayport twice and probably will cruise again. However, each time we cruise from Bayport there is a delay, weather, coast guard insp. immigration, etc. Terminal is small but very nice and new. Love the across the street parking but it is uncovered and more $$ than covered in Galveston.
The prices or good as or better than Carn/RCL. Mystery to me why some pan the food. It is better than my Carn or RCL cruises. Same for entertainment. Interior cabin has a better layout and is a little bigger (any extra is important in interior cabin). Crew and service was fine but not as good as RCL. Ship layout leaves a lot to be desired and seems a bit crowded. Smaller than Voyager Class with equivalent passenger load and crew. Look forward to sailing on Jewel. Lots of small complaints (no comp coffee in Int. café, narrow decks, a free dessert for B'Day/Anniv; as if we don't get enough desserts, etc) but all in all we I really like More Princess and highly recommend them.
If you are going to cruise from Bayport here is what we need from Princess....vary the ports, go to any combination of Progresso, Costa Maya, Caymen, Key West and once a month do a turn around to Panama C. If you agree your help In convincing them would be appreciated. Good sailing to you where ever from and who ever with.

It is in the natural world, in the questions, doubts, inquiry, that we find wonder. This awe-ful experience sends shivers up and down my spine and inspires me to value uncertainty.

"Vandana Shiva and Frances Moore Lappé, members of the World Future Council and laureates of the Right Livelihood Award, voice their outrage."
Teaching obedience to my children did not work the ways I wanted it to. They, as small children, would try to figure out what the authority figure thought and then follow that example. Some of the authority figures in their lives were not worthy of being followed; I hunted for a better way of raising a critical thinker. I ran across some excellent ideas, started experimenting with different parenting styles, came up with what I think are not only better parenting styles for children and for parents as well. All those old education, psychology and sociology foreparents are dead now; they are replaced with a strong and lively group of people who make good sense. Their processes yield the kinds of adults that are healthier, more compassionate, and better critical thinkers than children raised to be obedient.
FREEOK 2013 - Dale McGowan: "Raising (Actual) Freethinkers"
Dale McGowan: Parenting Beyond Belief
Influence without indoctrination (Parenting Beyond Belief #4)
My grown children now have children and grandchildren. Watching them raise their children gives me so much pleasure; they participate with their children in healthier ways, they require critical thinking of their children, even as they parent with loving care. Even now my children express love in ways that empower their children to flourish, to become all they can be. I don't think they will experience the kinds of dysfunction into which they were born. They learned more effective and efficient ways to be with their children that encourages communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, and they will be prepared to take on the messes that my generation leaves behind, with our notions of obedience, submission, and self-crucifixion.

A look at why the Red Sox have sent down Jose Iglesias
|03.27.12 at 11:33 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. ' Jose Iglesias' reaction when Bobby Valentine and Ben Cherington broke the news to him Tuesday morning that he wouldn't be making the major league club coming out of Red Sox' spring training?
'Disappointment,' the Sox' manager said. He later added, ''He was very professional in his conversation. We all felt there was emotion in the room.'
Then Valentine was asked if it was a difficult call sending out Iglesias, thereby anointing Mike Aviles the Red Sox' Opening Day shortstop.
'It was not a tough a decision,' he said. 'Eventually things play themselves out and it's easy to do the right thing, I think.'
So, then the came the next logical question: Why?
Valentine's explanation had to do with a combination of Iglesias perhaps starting to go the other way in regard to his confidence, along with the continued encouragement gained from watching Aviles.
'He's working on things,' Valentine said of Iglesias. 'About two weeks he had a mechanic that looked like it was real functional and I think an 0-for-3 took him out of it. That's one of the things that he has to develop: confidence in his program.'
'He's pretty close,' the manager later added. 'I mean if something crazy happened tomorrow and Mike was traded for Greg Maddux, who's making his return or something, I think that Jose could be our shortstop. He'd just have some more difficult developing days at the major league level than I think he will at the minor league level. It's real tough to sharpen your teeth with major league pitching, as Frank Howard used to say.'
Then there was the presence of Aviles, who has totaled nearly twice as many spring training at-bats as Iglesias while making just one error and totaling a .333 batting average and .867 OPS.
'There were a couple factors in what we were evaluating. Mike just didn't do anything wrong, that's for sure,' Valentine said. 'He did most everything right.'
And, finally, Valentine explained the explanation regarding the process of coming to the decision. As the manager pointed out the day before, it was, and continues to be, a collaborative effort when formulating the roster.
'Debate? I think we've had discussions every day on our team, a couple of times on Jose. It was never a debate,' he said. 'I never even knew what side [Cherington] was taking and I don't know if he ever knew what side ' if that's what it was ' that I was taking. We spoke of both players, every day evaluated them and ' not only me and Ben, I mean as a staff, this was a staff meeting last night ' I think it was a pretty universal ' I wouldn't say 100 percent ' but it was a group decision where everyone was on the same page. '¦ I'm totally onboard. I like to think it was partly my decision. I like to think that.'

PARK CITY — Actor, writer and director Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been selected to host the 2013 Sundance Film Festival Awards Ceremony, festival officials announced Friday.
Levitt — who appeared this year in "Lincoln," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Looper" and "Premium Rush" — is an Artist Trustee of the Sundance Institute. He has appeared in seven films at past Sundance festivals and his feature film directorial debut, "Don Jon's Addiction," is among the titles selected for the 2013 event.
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt's accomplished and original artistic perspectives have contributed greatly to Sundance Institute and the independent film community," John Cooper, director of the Sundance Film Festival, said in a prepared statement. "As host, he is sure to add flair to our awards ceremony in similarly exciting ways, and we are thrilled that he will join us in recognizing outstanding achievements at this year's festival."
The 2013 Sundance Film Festival will take place between Jan. 17 and Jan. 27 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance. The feature film awards ceremony will be held Jan. 26.

Before you authorize hiring or promoting a candidate who doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the position, consider the potential for litigation.
The fact is, if an employee or applicant who does meet the requirements belongs to a different protected class than the worker who got the job, you could wind up facing a lawsuit. That's true even if some of those requirements aren't written down.
Recent case: John Hinton, who is black, worked for Tyson Foods and had many years of experience in all aspects of working on a chicken processing line. He had a solid performance record with no disciplinary problems and great reviews for 13 years.
When a line management position opened up, Hinton was interested in the job. The written job requirements said applicants needed "three to five years' experience"—far less than Hinton already had.
But he didn't get the job. Instead, it went to a white employee with less than three years of...(register to read more)

Classic Pin-Up Art of Jack Cole
(Edited by Alex Chun)
Jun 04, 2010 Web Exclusive
Jack Cole is best known by some as the creator of Plastic Man; by others for his highly influential work on Playboy Magazine. He was undeniably a master of his craft, with deft, lovely lines and a witty sensibility. This new book, Classic Pin-Up Art of Jack Cole, from Fantagraphics focuses mostly on the titillating and gracefully naughty one-panel comics done for the Humorama publishing concern. It's work that mostly precluded his time at Playboy, but set the stage for that highly revered and widely recognized work.
This is the best sort of cheesecake. The historical text piece puts these works and the career of Mr. Cole into context, and creates a fascinating, entertaining, and timeless volume. Priced at $18.99, it might be steep in a sense for 100 pages, but I'm betting you'll read it again and again. (www.fantagraphics.com)

As long as I can remember I've had painful cystic acne breakouts on my chin and along my jawline. I've used Benzoyl Peroxide products for years with little to no success. I finally discovered acne products containing Salicylic Acid & Sulphur Masks and I am now acne FREE for the first time in my life at 47 years of age! FYI: ALMOST all acne requires a combination of anti-acne products & good hygiene in order to be effective. My acne was pretty mild and I still have to use a wash, toner & gel containing Salicylic Acid as well as a Sulphur Mask as an overnight spot treatment if a pimple pops up to dry it up quickly.
The NAKED color is light BEIGE - it's beautiful!
I recommend watching you tube reviews for additional information on ANY product!
Day 1: love it, skin was matte all day, coverage was a bit cakey due to my flakey skin but nothing I can't handle. No breakouts or irritation. Product felt like a thin slightly greasy liquid going on but dried matte which is rare for me. I did not use powder on top, and I did use moisturizer underneath because like I said my skin has been flaky. After day 1 I was all about this foundation.
Day 2: same as day one except at the end of the day I had developed a couple micro pimples where my nose and cheek meet.
Day 3: more micro pimples on my cheek, and in between my eyebrows. One on my nose. Weird, I rarely get nose pimples. Maybe this is purging? The product contains 0.6% salicylic acid which is something I never use as it always dries me out like ridiculously so I have avoided it like the plague. But my skin is not dry. The rest of my skin seems okay.
Day 4: pimples are drying up but more teeny pimples have appeared sporadically all over my face. These pimples are tiny whiteheads and are not red or irritated. The skin around the pimples is clear, smoother, plump, not dry, not flakey, and clogs seem to be surfacing..? Are clogs surfacing or are clogs forming? Hard to tell.
Day 5: worse.Read more ›
1. It literally smells like paint (the kind you put on your walls in your home).
2. While I was using it, my acne got significantly worse.
3. It also literally feels like you are painting your face with something you buy from Home Depot.
4. It is VERY easy for part of your face to appear blotchy whereas other makeups I've used spread A LOT more evenly.
I am comparing my experience with this foundation to various other foundations I've used. No joke, every other foundation was much better.
No foundation I've used has successfully combatted acne, but at least they didn't smell/feel like paint & appear so blotchy when I applied them.
90% of my reviews are 4 & 5 stars so me leaving a review like this really means something.

I also live in a very densely populated urban area (NYC), and depending on your neighbors (mine are really chill) I could easily see someone complaining to you about them.
It's a real shame because the purity of sound these chimes make is just beautiful. If you live in a suburban area and can put them outside somewhere away from your bedroom, you should be fine. You'll absolutely love them. But I think I'm going to give these to a suburban friend and get one of the smaller versions they have that should be a little less loud.
One annoying thing though that prevented me from giving these a 5-star rating is they don't come with everything you need to hang them. They come with a little closed diamond shaped plastic cut out at the top, but you have to figure out how to hang them on your own. I had to find some string that I could insert through the closed diamond shaped hook and then attach an open-ended hook to the string. I was then able to attach the open-ended hook to a little plastic strip that was already there. So hanging these can be a bit problematic.
P.S. To the Manufacturer... I first saw these at your booth at the NY Gift show.Read more ›
ordered her one when I got home .... girlfriend is very picky....most of the stuff that I buy her, she takes back,,,, not the woodstock chimes tho....she loves the sounds from them.... bottom line....I DID GOOD>..
fast delivery...and well packaged...also..
MORAL OF THE STORY.. there is a difference between the cheap ones, and the ones that are more expensive....noticeable difference with the woodstock, people know you gave them something really nice,,, great gift idea....
It works best in about 10 MPH winds. I have mine hung right on my patio. In a very strong wind, I can hear the chime a little bit when I'm inside the house and the doors and windows are closed. When sitting outside, it's very relaxing and pleasant to hear the chime.
No neighbors have complained so I'm assuming they aren't bothered by my chime and are probably enjoying it too!
