Press Release
SentryAccess for Sarbanes-Oxley Regulatory Compliance
Santa Clara, CA (Nov. 23,
2004) – Nenix Corporation, the Smart and Secureä Web
access management software provider, today released
version 3.6 of its SentryAccess Identity and Access
Management software solution.
3.6 is a flexible, extensible software application that
efficiently manages user access to protected system
resources. It achieves this through three lightweight
components that reside on Web and application servers,
which sit behind corporate firewalls. User requests for
protected resources are intercepted by SentryAccess, and
user entitlements are verified. If a user has
permissions for the requested resource, access is
granted. Otherwise, the user is denied, and a failed
access attempt logged to the system.
compliance, particularly from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, is
on everybody's mind," said CEO Doug Ahn. "Sarbanes-Oxley
requires corporations to certify that their internal
controls and access management systems are sound.
SentryAccess 3.6 includes several new performance and
administrative enhancements that allow organizations to
monitor, manage, and track such controls."
Among the
new features in SentryAccess 3.6 is enhanced system log
handling. SentryAccess 3.6 includes a specialized
service that monitors the SentryAccess components and
services, and generates logs as needed, which it then
stores to a dedicated server. If a system is configured
with multiple log servers, one of the servers
automatically acts as a backup. In this way, logs are
always maintained and saved, and therefore retrievable.
feature of SentryAccess 3.6 is an all new Java Monitor
for system observation. This new Monitor improves
logging performance and is easier to use than previous
Monitor versions. Further, it can be used to monitor all
facets of SentryAccess, and can handle even the largest
of logs, without affecting performance.
3.6 also includes additional platform support (Agents:
Microsoft IIS6.0; Tomcat, BEA WebLogic, and IBM
WebSphere, for Linux/Unix; Oracle Apache for Linux;
Databases: OpenLDAP). SentryAccess now incorporates
support for two-factor authentication, and has
streamlined the installation process for SentryAccess
Agents into one integrated application.

Omni Parker House
60 School Street, Boston, MA
0.3 mi from
Although small, the room was comfortable and the shower quite lovely. Plenty of hot water in the morning. A blizzard was expected so I decided to check out a day early, and this was hassle free. I did not ask for the name of the person who helped me with the checkout, but she was very polite and extremely helpful. The door man and valet folks were quick to bring my car and wish me a safe journey. Overall a very pleasant stay and I was able to accomplish that which I was in town for. I found sleep very difficult due to the noise level throughout the first night of my stay, which was a Tuesday. Many drunk people coming to rooms late very loud in the hallway and then one couple in the room next to mine arguing until approximately 4am.
Nice Location Room was tiny, outdated decorations, you spend hundreds on a room and they want to charge you $10 day for internet. Stay somewhere else !
The staff at the back hotel bar was friendly, excellent and accommodating when the kitchen was about to close in 5 minutes. He even offered to get Guinness on tap from the front bar the Last Hurray. Rooms were clean and they were able to accommodate us with a better view. Bed is comfortable and linens are nice thread count. Decor is classic, wood paneled, gold, red and mustard yellow-- and reminded us of Stephen King's The Shining (where the film was made). Wifi is not included if you book through a third party-- they should change this policy as a courtesy. Drainage in tub was a little slow but this is true of most Boston older buildings.
Location is fantastic--easy walking distance to all the places of interest. Hotel is itself a historical landmark. Room was rather small, no free wifi.
Location was close to most points of interest in downtown/waterfront Boston. Large lobby and helpful staff. Clean. Would rather have traded nice large entrance and lobby area for a better room size and traded the standard (double) bed for a queen size. Price for what we received was a little on the expensive side. Hotel claims to be 4 star but it doesn't quite make that level. WiFi should have been included as is becoming standard at hotels of this level
Rooms small. Views terrible. Bathroom really small. If you can, select another hotel. Small. Needs renovations
This hotel for the amount I paid was really above my expectations in terms of service. Location is very central to the historic district, entertainment, food shopping. The hotel itself has a rich history and great to wonder through it. Would stay here again.
When we arrived the hotel was sold out and did not go or our "guaranteed reservation" for a double room. We were instead offered a full size bed and a cot for the same rate even though the room sells for $50 less. Spent most of our night on the phone with Kayak who didn't care. Says it's non refundable yet how they can say it's a guaranteed reservation when clearly it's a maybe! Horrible customer service by hotel manager and kayak. Hotel didn't offer to call around or find other accommodations for us.
Not a detail was missed. Truly a 5-star experience!
Had to move rooms 3, almost 4, times. The whole situation was handled very poorly until we finally were helped by a manager. Just wish it did not have to get that far... Overall, the hotel is extremely outdated, struggled to control the temperature in the room and the walls were so thin we heard a screaming child all night. Images online are extremely deceiving and lead to a disappointing experience as a whole.
Samantha was great as we were checking in. We were a little early for check in so she said the hotel would hold our bags while we toured the city. She came through on the promise of a room with a better view. So happy with the room that over looked Kings Chapel and Old City Hall. The hotel is right in the middle of everything, easy walking distance to anything. Beds were comfortable. Room was a little small but wont stop me from staying again. No free WiFi.
Rooms were clean, Staff pleasant. Nice gym. Love the security card elevator feature. Should be in all hotels. Elephant castle is always pleasant. I didn't like that my room didn't have an ironing board & safe. In my opinion those two should be a no brainier & standard.
The bed was too firm. Had a hard wire around the edge of the mattress. No Iron, No Microwave, No Fridge. The shower was tiny.. really small. Not comfortable at all.
Gym - small
Don't leave your car in valet for over the 24 hour period or you will be charged $27 for 1 1/2 hours over... Still don't understand the Math there!
Extremely dirty. Unclean pillows and mattress. Not washed bathrooms.
- Simple check in and check out procedure. - Some complimentary amenities in the morning (free coffee and fruit) - Good location for business - Not the newest facility - could stand an upgrade for the carpeting, floors and bathroom - Communal iron and other in-room amenities takes some getting used to - Not recommended for families traveling with children as there's nothing for them to do on-site.
Thin walls; heard neighbors
The hotel looked nicer online to be honest. The staff were pretty great. House keeping was really good with fixing the room after i called about the bed being dirty. They left a nice note and some snacks/drinks as well. The TV was really nice. Our room was not very well kept. It was dusty, the bed hadn't been changed I believe, the sheets and pillow case was dirty and hairy, and the bathroom smelled like ciggaretes and was kind of dirty. the room was better than a motel so it wasn't the worst, just a little too pricey for the kind of quality you end up getting.
The TV and shower are excellent as is the location of the hotel. Knowing how expensive downtown Boston hotels are, I appreciate being able to stay in the heart of the city at such a low cost. Sadly, the staff isn't very friendly. They always act like they are doing you a favor if asked a question or reporting the elevator malfunctioning!!!!
Receptionist clerks responsive to questions and pleasing traveler. The bathroom shower was excellent. The heating unit in the room was noisy. The breakfast was skimpy; commercial granola bars, oranges, bananas, coffee from machine (all impersonal).
Great location, rooms were clean, a lot of ports/outlets Room is kind of small, a bit pricey for the size of the room
Bathroom was pretty small.
The hotel was beautiful and the beds fabulous. The best part of our amazing stay was the service. Jerry at the front desk and Steve, the concierge, went above and beyond to treat me, my daughter and two grandsons to a memorable introduction to Boston including sightseeing, public transportation, wonderful restaurants. I have visited world class hotels all my life and never experienced this level of caring and guidance. Bravo!!! The price!!!!
Good upmarket hotel at reasonable price with helpful & friendly staff
This was a much nicer hotel than I expected for the money I paid. We were traveling with two children and had no problems. Everyone, especially the concierge was friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Quincy Market and the Aquarium. The Italian North end is just a little further. Great overall experience. The only downside was the parking at the hotel was extremely expensive and was valet only. I'm sure there were other less expensive options nearby, but we didn't want the hassle of driving around the city with two crabby kids in the car.
The customer service was outstanding! So professional and attentive. Can't wait to go back! I can't say anything but great things .
Staff very helpful Considering the cost of the 3 rooms (we had a family group of 9), I would expect a complimentary abbreviated breakfast offering. I walked down the street for coffee.
the rooms size and style
The best part was necessarily the SPA, gym and swimming pool which can make a major diffrence in any hotel stay. The staff manning the cafe and restaurants clealry requires more experinence and effectiveness.
The staff could not have been nicer in particular the Concierge Desk It was expensive but because it was a conference we stayed there
The hotel is but not more than that !
View of the sea & quality service Breakfast not included in price. Overall cost too expensive (bed+breakfast+taxes)= more than 400 euros per night)
A fabulous location, with great views of the Harbour, made the start of our New England trip something to remember
A tad expensive, but beautiful for that special treat. Location, quality, services, staff friendliness, all 10/10.
The Meritage Restaurant was outstanding. Our view was magnificent and the staff was very attentive, they seem to like what they are doing. The maid service was a bit inconsistent.
Location and atmosphere Received a queen size not the king and there were issues with the minibar
Wonderful location with a world class view of the Boston Harbor, the airport across the bay and the flashing lighthouse at the mouth of the Atlantic beyond. Very good downstairs staff, lovely restaurant and bar, and spectacular if you like boats, the water, watching the weather and walking to the aquarium, etc. Easy to get to by water taxi from the airport -- an adventure. The sheet on the bed had what was certainly a fresh red blood drop on it -- like someone had cut them selves and didn't know while making the bed -- when we finally came in late the first night. The staff took care of this and the room was very clean after that.
This was a great place Nothing bad to say here
Excellant facility, perfect location, easy walk to Little Italy and other shopping, Fennial Hall. NO
breakfast at this hotel is below hotel standards!!!
spa , pool . close to gardens .with transportation. good food at a fair price $44.00 parking was a one time fee which is fair.will promote and stay again everthing was great!
I actually like the location, since it's a little quiet. It's clean and hip and the staff is not in your face, but always helpful when you need. It's a tasteful place to stay.
The location was great especially in proximity to public transportation. The decor was simple and comfortable. The noise coming from the hallway and room next door was somewhat bothersome. The lounge on the groundfloor became a night spot on the weekend and guests are continuing to party going back to their rooms. The acoustics in the lounge were very loud as well.
Nice doormen Cramped rooms that were not sound proof. No character to the rooms
Walking distance to all central Boston. Fantastic location Shower is a glass box dividing the bed room and bathroom. Perfectly ok if you're into that sort of thing
The location was perfect for seeing almost everything in Boston. You ar eright in the centre of things yet it is not noisy like some hotels right in the hub of town. 2 things - No coffee maker in the room...thankfully coffee shops were close by...and having to pay for Internet in business centre
Cleanliness, bedding. I really missed a coffee pot in room and thought wifi should be gratis
the hotel had an excellent location in the middle of town and right across from quincey market and all sorts of historic places also near the water. I did not like the colors in the room, not really funky and stylish
I encountered a few problems and the staff acted immediately to accommodate me.
Friendly staff, clean room, superb matresses.
Room and hotel were nice. Location was very loud. It was friday night and the noise outside did not stop until after 4am (car horns, loud drunk prople, police sirens). We literally got no sleep due to the extreme noise.
Very clean, modern look, staff was friendly and helpful. Unable to block out light from the street with blinds. No on site parking available. A better discount on local parking garage would make this hotel one of the best affordable stays in the city.
Location was great close to everything. Price for the location you cant beat it Parking was a block away and it cost $32 with there discount.
Close to work, comfortable bed. No in-room coffee, very weak shower stream, no breakfast buffet, no desk, AC that blows right on you, lights that are impossible to adjust.
Location Value Room size Quiet heating/cooling system Staff The blinds. We had an interior room with the window looking out into the hallway. No big deal except that they used a $15 Wal-Mart blinds on that window and had a blue light in the hallway that was on all night long. The room was bright...all night long. If you're a person that is at all sensitive to light in your room at night, this may be a deal breaker. If you're management reading this, put up some blackout curtains or turn the stupid light off at night! This was my only qualm, otherwise it was a great place.
Location was next to Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market...good price for that area Couldnt control temp in the room..froze all night
The morning staff was nice The evening staff was a bit rude Had a lots of ants in our room!!
Rooms were small and dingy and poorly lit.
Centrally located, nice comfortable rooms. Breakfast available starting at 6am. Not enough in room lighting. A second mirror in bathroom would have been nice.
Very nice rooms No garage or valet
Great location , clean, spacious, comfortable beds, quiet Parking. A few blocks away and cost an extra $30. No breakfast.
My wife and I stayed in Boston for a quick getaway and were very impressed with the hotel. It offered a clean room with a comfortable bed. The location is the reason to book this hotel,
Service in the hotel bar. Ordered mimosas while we waited for our car. 4 different waitresses came over to get our order (after we'd already placed it). 10 minutes later, still sans mimosa, I asked one of them if they were coming. As it turns out they won't serve alcohol before 11 AM. Probably something worth mentioning when someone orders!!!!
We only stayed for one night, but this was the perfect location. Easy walking distance from New England Aquarium and Faneuil Hall. There was a loud commotion outside from one of the area bars at 2am that continued for 20 minutes. I could hear it from all the way up on the 11th floor
very clean, nice room, fantastic staff heat in room was uncontrollable. had AC set to 60 degrees with windows open and it was stifling hot in the room all the time. literally sweating thru the night.
Awesome staff. They helped a lot with restaurants and hot spots of Boston. They asked if I'd like a spacious room.. I got a regular one oddly shaped. They had construction going and woke me up with drills and hammers at 730am both the nights I was there
We enjoyed the Hilton very much! The rooms were extremely clean and cozy. The Location was ideal for enjoying the night life however.... when we were trying to sleep it was extremely loud. We heard people throughout the hotel all night and everything going on outside the windows. Otherwise everything was wonderful!
Great location. 0.2 miles from fanuiel hall. Next to a pub and across the street from a restaurant / next to Howel at the moon and walking distance to aquarium, restaurants, bars and harbor... Everything costs money... Parking is $51 extra per night. Wifi is $40 extra per night... King Rooms are tiny... Staff isn't friendly... Hallways are dark... Some valet people are rude, others are absolute dolls... And the lobby is depressing and sets the vibe for the rest of the hotel... Couldn't control heat, felt like cold air was blowing on us all night.
We loved our stay in Boston! This hotel was situated right in the middle of downtown within walking distance to mostly everything! We had such a great time. Staff was extremely kind and helpful, especially the doormen! I will definitely stay at this hotel again next time I go back to Boston!
Location and room size Staff, difficult to work with. Room was not clean (mold in the bath tub, sinks leaked)
no micro oven in the room
The staff was wonderful, very polite and helpful. The hotel was very clean. The beds were quite comfortable. The room was nicely spacious. It is a lovely hotel conveniently located for the tourist. The appointments were a little less than expected considering the expense/level of accommodation. Nothing major. The furniture was sub-par - the drawers didn't close well, the closet door light weight. The phone lines did not work. There was on-going remodeling work to which the trouble with the phones might be attributed however the issue was not resolved within our four night stay.
It was incredibly functional--I stayed in a clean, nice one bed room and for my needs it was perfect. The only thing that didn't quite work was the fact that I was relying fully on public transportation and it is a solid walk from the closet T stop. I could do it, but if you have kids, or ladies, if you're wearing heels, plan to take 'em off to get there!
Location was great. Everything was in walking distance. Room was clean, bathtub and shower was fantastic. Room was a bit small, balcony was not a real balcony - very small step out balcony! A bit pricey for the size and amenities.
Location is great for exploring Boston - but if you don't want to hear the late night crowds at Quincy market-make sure to speak up. The wine list in the restaurant is extremely overpriced and unfortunately I was served a bottle of wine that had not been stored properly and had turned. The bartender didn't agree but had the manager bring me a new bottle. That bottle was better than the first but still not tasting quite right-but we kept it because it was too much of a hassle.
Convenience was superb.
Nice room, helpful staff, reasonable prices Tried to book another night and was told they were completely sold out. Looked on kayak and saw availability...
Loved the location, the amenities and the service. We've already booked our stay for next year! difficult to adjust the temp in the room - trying to cool the room meant the AC was on full blast.
The hotel is very clean and the staff was really nice and helpful There was only Luke warm water in the shower and after walking around boston on a 10 degree night it really put a damper on our romantic get away !!
Excellent location to view all of Boston by foot. We had a wonderful stay and would stay again.
Great location, staff was great, hotel was beautiful Air conditioning was loud, no in-room refrigerator, no vending machines, bed was a little too firm
staff was terrific and service oriented. price for valet parking was steep.
Stayed here twice. Both for location. Room rates are pricey but you are in the midst of downtown Boston. The in-house restaurant was serving a $20 lobster dinner special which was fantastic. Valet parking is easy and staff is very courteous. There is an extra charge for valet at $49. Again very pricey but if you are staying for a few days it evens out. The room was a standard king that was comfortable, clean and spacious enough for two. We were provided a mini fridg gratis. The usual outrageously overpriced mini bar is present along with bottled water priced at the level of alcohol. Several newspapers are available free. Apparently the hotel is undergoing updates to its TV and wifi system. That's not a problem but there was no information provided at check in that it was happening. That is a problem. The TV acted up at start up and the wifi was cantankerous. Booting you off and causing you to sign in again and again. Quite slow also.
Location Comfort Price was for location. Have stayed in HI Express with just as nice rooms for way less than half the money Charge for WiFi in room Do not ever touch mini bar. You will be charged
Regulars at their restaurant, our first stay was all we needed. Handsome, friendly, warm lobby area; helpful, attentive staff. The in-hotel restaurant is actually very good -- and has a great bar area. The staff that delivers items to rooms are very friendly, speedy folk. Hotel is under renovation in part, so there are inconveniences until completion early next spring. When we were there, some desk staff are "in training" and not exactly use to speaking in English (!). The door-staff/valets are very helpful.
The staff is so engaging and professional but not stuffy or uptight. The food at Moo (hotel restaurant) is unbeatable. You just can't beat the hotel vibe if you like personal service. I prefer more light than dark walls.
The staff was quite helpful and courteous, the room perfect and the food at the restaurant remarkable. The view from the rooftop is also outstanding.
Fifteen Beacon was beautiful, staff was so helpful and servicing that we felt truly carefree on our vacation to Boston. The rooms were excellently appointed, fashionably contemporary and spacious. We loved the fireplace, the four post bed and the privacy, it was the perfect intimate setting amid the busy Boston city life.
Friendly, considerate service, hotel cars to take you around Boston and good food from room service, also dog friendly. They charged us more than our original quote
The location is perfect for a downtown stay and, while small, the rooms are nicely designed. Poor air conditioning. No bath in the room.
I was thouroughly impressed with the service from the moment Valet opened our car doors till the moment Valet closed our doors at time of departure. I frequent 5 star hotels and must say this hotel, concierge and quality of service was unsurpassable. Perfect boutique hotel experience!
The studio room was ok and nicely furnished It was incredibly noisy, street traffic, garbage trucks, whining and motors running kept you awake from 2.30-5.30am every morning. I am afraid teh hotel was unworkable as a business hotel, and only possible as a holiday hotel if you are a heavy sleeper or a hard drinker so that you could surivive teh noise. I'll never stay again nor would I recommend it. Sorry. Having booked 2 rooms and paid so much a night I was utterly disappointed. Complaining next morning to the front desk about the noise, the receptionist was talking to me and then said "hold on" picked up the phone and started arranging some other booking with the caller. Don't Americans do basic manners anymore? Please note this is not a complaint, it was rude, noisy and expensive.
We liked the shower, the roof deck, but most of all we liked the design of the hotel/room.
Comfortable bed. Beautiful furnishings. Excellent service.
Appreciated the glass of wine at check-in and the staff were polite. "Upgraded" room was very tiny and the bathroom shower had mildew and stains. The bed was comfortable until I woke up with a bite mark on my leg and wrist. This place is overpriced and feels like it hasn't been maintained like other hotels. Won't stay here again.
Hotel was very clean, staff was very helpful and friendly, great central location! Nothing
Great value for money. Good restaurant -- functional for working and meeting. Decor and some amenities starting to get a little dated. Humidifier supplied did not really work. Internet in rooms slow.
Very nice location and the staff were tremendous. The room was well decorated and clean. The service was outstanding.
The location of the hotel couldn't be more perfect. Upon arrival the staff was very inviting and accommodating. I was fortunate enough to get a corner room with spectacular views. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and they're dog friendly! If your looking for a great place to stay within walking distance of Fanueil Hall, Nine Zero is the place to stay!
Phenomenally friendly staff, offered us free wine and Cokes and party bag for the kids. Unnecessarily nice!
Loved the attention to detail liked comped champagne and strawberries for our anniversary, our wedding pic in the room and the free parking we got by using the secret code, currently 'cannonball'. We missed the 5-6 free cocktail hour but were given 2 glasses of wine on check in. Make sure you know the secret code and join their rewards program for perks. Nothing!
Step out front door and you are on the freedom trail and ready to go Location
Great location. Wish the valet parking was complimentary
Where to begin from the location to the staff to the rooms. Really could not ask for more!
Rooms and bathrooms were nice, fresh coffee service and water in lobby nice touch. Morning staff was lovely. Convenient to wharf and north end. Lobby has no seatng area at all other that the restaurant, where the music blared way too loud all day. My son was resting in the room and there was literally no quiet place in the hotel to go check email or make a few calls. 2 of my 4 nights there were way overpriced, priced dropped significantly over the weekend. No concierge to help with suggestions, directions, etc. when limited front desk staff is engaged with guests.
Within walking distance of everything in the north end which is most of what you would want to see in Boston. The accommodations were well worth the price.
The ambience is cool--contemporary and funky with a sense of humor and fun thrown in. The staff at the front desk were wonderful--friendly, helpful, welcoming. Nice touches--daily complimentary wine bar in the lobby, fun animal print bathrobes in the room. The location is great, walked everywhere. Oh, and it's pet friendly! It would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room. When I asked at the desk, however, they brought one right up.
Valet parking was ground-level and adjacent to the hotel, so the few times we needed to access the car to fetch or store things like umbrellas, it was convenient. Housekeeping did an excellent job of keeping the room tidy. Hotel location was not great; one block north near the garden is a little shady. This also means any time there is a Garden event, access to the hotel can be very difficult by car (other times are just fine). The floor often smelled like marijuana. I guess the hotel allows pets because whenever I got off the elevator the dogs in the neighboring rooms all started barking. Weird.
We had a great experience. The costumer service and location were excellent.
Decor Terrible unprofessional and incompetent front end manager. Would never go back here
Location The size of rooms bathroom layouts and more....
Very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean. Good location. Small bathrooms with no place to put things. Not enough room in king room to put two suitcases without tripping over one of them. Parking per night $45 which to me is high. Prefer coffee in room.
The room was fabulous; clean pretty and had amenities in case you forgot anything! Staff was friendly and helpful! 24/7 valet parking with come and go access As you please. Also cheapest pRking in the area.
They let me book this hotel. I arrived only to find that the Kayak system had listed it as available and accepted my money but not secured me a room. The hotel had to turn me away and I had to go find another hotel. It sucked.
Everyone was extremely nice and helpful! I'm a NYer so that means a lot!
le confort de la chambre late check out was not possible! Le concierge didn't inform me although I asked that the limousine driver xwsa waiting for me. I took finally 35 min until I could find out!
On the first day of our trip -the water and chocolates in our room. The fact that each time I called the concierge or front desk they referred to me by name, all in all it was very obvious that the Langham goes the extra mile that sets them apart. No
It needs updating. I thought it was too expensive for the quality of the rooms
Excellent quality, facilities, location and service Charge of 30c per minute for Internet access was excessive and seemed unnecessary while paying about $300 per night for the room
The atmostphere and staff were exceptional I didn't get to stay longer
Staff was very friendly and enthusiastic Dated & Tired, especially considering the price tag
Excellent to stay, but cost is very high for business people.
Excellent service, polite, helpful staff, really could not be faulted. Although expensive, you get what you pay for! No
Very attractive lobby area; extrenely personable and professional staff. Bathrooms and towels were not what a hotel charging $700/night should be offering.
Staff very helpful. The price of brunch.
Staff was great. Helpful and friendly. I stay here for work as a united airlines Capt on my Boston layover, and we are treated so well that I brought my wife up for a weekend stay .. We walked to Fanual Hall, and Aquarium.. Shopped. Went to a Red Sox -Yankees game ( Sox won A bit pricey. But hey .. Its downtown Boston
The building is excellent .The rooms are not big enough.
I loved the modern interior design and how friendly and helpful the staff was. My wife and I stayed at the Boxer for two nights for our mini-moon. We told the front desk staff that it was our honeymoon, and then about ten minutes later, a piece of red velvet cake and a bottle of champagne arrived at our door, completely on the house. We were very impressed. My only complaint is that the rooms in the pictures from the website looked bigger than our actual room.
Staff was fantastic!! Front desk, bartenders, valet...everyone! Super personable and accommodating! I will remember most by name. Room was "loft-like", super cozy unique. Short walking distance to the water, aquarium, good bars and restaurants! We would definitely stay here again!
Great service, great location, and a unique feel to the overall hotel.
Valet guy. Drawing on room wall. N/A Front desk staff - rude, unhelpful, not knowledgeable. Literally acted like cared zero shits about your hotel and your guests. Upon check-in they seemed upset, acting like our arrival was imposing on their evening. It was raining and we requested an umbrella, which meant she had to leave the counter, this had her huffing and puffing. No greeting upon entry, ever. Not accommodating, whosoever. Just poor, poor service.
Beautiful hotel, incredibly friendly staff, old fashioned luxury with modern touches, amazing bed
Services was fantastic at this hotel. The room was ready right away, and my request for extra's in the room was honored. Ease of taxi service, and just across the street from the T and garden.
We checked in, headed up to our room, and found a party going on in it. Upon reporting that to the front desk, they were completely confounded. They found another room (supposedly larger than the first) and gave us drink coupons for the inconvenience. No problem. The room was small. 6" between the end of the bed and the desk. But otherwise ok. So we headed down to the bar and ordered two dry martinis a tiny bit dirty. They were out of Stoli so the bartender gave us a premium Stoli. The drinks came back with so much olive brine that they were green. Not drinkable, so we decided to head out for dinner. Upon leaving the coupons we were told that they didn't apply to premium drinks. We suggested paying the difference (for undrinkable cocktails) and the bartender got an attitude and said "just forget it". Finally, upon leaving the next morning, the smallish elevator stopped on the next floor down and the housecleaner got on with her cart, a big garbage bag stuffed with laundry, and a huge gray garbage can on wheels. We were crammed into the back corner of the elevator with our bags. How strange!
Fun and incredibly hospitable staff. Great location and walking distance to bars/restaurants. Comfortable and modern room. Will stay here again!
Great location in center of city. Clean and well maintained. Unique and accentric feel. Thin walls, could hear everything going on in the hallway. Hard pillows, my neck and head hurt so bad in the morning. Tiny rooms.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, especially Fred! I'm not too keen on the standup shower. Sometimes it's nice to soak in a tub while on vacay.
I loved how nest and clean the room was. For two people the king bed room would be a bit crowded. The staff was very friendly and helpful with each contact I had with them. . I enjoyed it immensely.. Only the size of the room. It would be tight for more than one person.
Location, beds and pillows very comfortable. Clean except for under sink and mold in shower. Room was extremely small, bairly ok for one person, VERY cramped for two.
Maid service very good Front desk personal room outdated Charge for wifi Security staff at front door very very intimidating
The whole hotel was impeccably clean...wonderful. The room service was super fast. The location is close to so many great things in walking distance of hotel! The maid service was terrific; very friendly and thorough. The internet was fast - once you got on it. For a luxury hotel, internet connection is typically included in the price of your stay. As a Marriott rewards member I was surprised it was not free...apparently I was not at the right level. The parking was overpriced - one member of our group parked and $51 a day was extremely high. The cluster of cars, buses, taxes etc at the entrance was poorly managed. Pedestrians were at risk, guests at risk, and children at risk - there did not appear to be anyone in control of the flow of traffic coming in an out of the entrance area. High risk.
Clean room and lots of amenities. Great location and easy access to pretty much anything. We used point for the room. Cost is pretty high, so if considering cost with other hotels others could be a better value.
Clean, comfortable, GREAT location, excellent amenities, friendly staff, good restaurant and bar. Definitely will be my choice of place to stay when I return to Boston!
Staff permitted us to check in early. Excellent Location.
For $575 they could at least provide coffee and a morning newspaper. Bathroom was small and old.
We love staying at this hotel. We had a great view of Quincy Market and the city landscape. We like being close to the North End. Our room was clean and comfortable The hallway on our floor was a little dirty. Used glasses and dishes placed outside of rooms waiting to be picked up along with some spilled food on the rug.

The Reds have been chasing the 23-year-old for months and reports are emerging claiming a £12.5m has been lodged for the Ivorian's signature.
The striker has played a key role in helping Lille to the top of Ligue 1 this season but the French club are bracing themselves for his departure in January.
Hodgson is desperate to bolster his side's attacking options as he feels they are too reliant on Ferrando Torres, who has suffered injury and form problems during the last year.
A number of names have been linked with a move to Anfield ahead of the transfer window reopening including Bolton star Johan Elmander and West Ham striker Carlton Cole.

Hello all,
ht://Dig is great and kudos to all involved in its development. I'm an amateur ht://Digger, taking over some of Benoit Majeau's work. He has posted to this list before.
I've read much of the documentation on ht://Dig, and I haven't yet found an answer to the situation that I'm facing.
Here's the situation. Users are currently able to successfully search the database documents containing, say, "polymères" by typing it with the accent on the e. This is normal, and works well for all other French words.
But the majority of our users would really like to be able to find documents containing "polymères", without having to type the accented character(s). Currently, htsearch finds no documents on "polymeres", and that unacceptable for our users.
Is there anything you can suggest for this situation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Pat :-)

The news that Alfie Meadows, the student who suffered a near-fatal brain injury during last December's central London protest, is to be charged (along with several others) with the serious crime of "violent disorder", has been greeted with predictable outrage on Twitter and elsewhere. It was my reaction, too, late last night.
As everyone knows, Alfie was an entirely peaceful protester whose misfortune it was to have his skull smashed in by an out-of-control police officer, who has so far not even been identified, let alone held to account. To charge the victim with, essentially, the crime that was committed against him is, even by Met standards, more than usually crass and insensitive. It marks a new moral low both for the police and for the Crown Prosecution Service. It demonstrates contempt, not just for the protest movement (understandable, perhaps) but for basic human decency and compassion. It bespeaks an arrogant state apparatus drunk on its own impunity. It could almost be Syria.
To strike a topically Orwellian note, this chilling prosecution (it seemed to me) summons up a future of a boot stamping repeatedly on a human face - and then putting the face on trial for boot-obstruction.
I still think this, more or less, but four months since the above picture was taken there remains much that is elusive about the circumstances of Meadows' injury, to say nothing of his role in the protests. Today's decision to charge him, whether vindictive or misguided (or even defensible) doesn't shed much light upon what really happened that day.
As I said at the beginning, "everyone knows" what happened to Alfie, a 19 year old (at the time) described touchingly by a friend as "humble and witty". He doesn't look like a hooligan, and according to his mother he only became "radicalised" by the threatened closure of his university's philosophy department. One's sympathies must surely be engaged by anyone prepared to put his body on the line in defence of Schopenhauer and Kant. It is his mother, too, who is the only named source for the accepted account of events - that he was battered by a police truncheon in an unprovoked assault while attempting to leave a kettled area.
Susan Matthews (Alfie's mum) also asserted that the police tried to obstruct attempts to take him to hospital - a claim that turned out to be at the least problematic, and perhaps completely untrue. No mother wants to believe that her son was engaged in "violent disorder". And she was not present at the scene. Alfie himself has not commented publicly, nor has any video footage emerged that might settle the question. We do not yet have the full report of the Independent Police Complaints Authority - not that that will necessarily please everyone when it does.
In the absence of definite information, it strikes me that there are three possibilities:
1) Alfie was the victim of an act of unprovoked police aggression. His injury was a crime and his prosecution is a breathtakingly cynical gesture of official contempt for the life and liberty of the citizen.
2) Alfie was being violent and disorderly, and was hit over the head by an officer attempting to restrain him. The blow may have been (clearly was) excessive, but occurred "in the heat of battle" and the tragedy was, to some extent, of his own making.
3) Alfie was not hit by a police baton at all, but by a brick hurled from somewhere in the crowd by a violent protestor, aimed at the police. Inspector Gadget has claimed that there were rumours circulating in student circles late last year that Meadows was injured in a "friendly fire" incident. If this is true, his injury would of course be unconnected with any "violent disorder" he might or might not have been engaged in.
The third, most shocking possibiliy (at least to the many who naturally think the worst of the police), is also the least plausible, at least for the time being. Apart from Gadget's claim of student rumours (a rumour about a rumour) nothing has emerged to suggest that he wasn't struck by a police baton. This is surely significant. There have been no off-the-record whispers from highly-placed sources, as might be expected if there were any truth in the supposed rumours - not that such whispers would necessarily be reliable. The Metropolitan Police have an unfortunate track record when it comes to "confidentially" placing inaccurate information in the public domain.
Such considerations, when combined with the fact of prosecution, would tend to support the second theory. But that, of course, is precisely the impression the Met might be trying to achieve by prosecuting him. Already the charges have been seized upon in some quarters as "proof" that Alfie was not a peaceful protester. Yet - and this is what makes today's news especially shocking - there has hitherto been no discernible attempt to blacken Alfie Meadows' name, little or no suggestion that he was not as peaceful a protester as his mother claimed. The most charitable explanation is that the Met have finally learned the lessons of Jean Charles de Menezes and Ian Tomlinson. Even so, if there was evidence of misbehaviour one might have expected some confidential hints to have been dropped to sympathetic journalists.
But let's suppose he was indeed acting in a violent manner. Should the fact that he nearly died influence the decision whether or not to prosecute him? Legally, it makes no difference. Morally, and politically, it makes every difference. To drag him through the courts looks like an appalling abuse of power. Even if it isn't. Even if the proper procedures were duly followed. In an extreme (and thankfully rare) situation like this normal human decency ought to take precedence over rules, over setting examples or securing easy convictions (and getting charges against protesters to stick has always been easy). Some will object that he would therefore be "getting away with" violent disorder. But he had his head smashed in - that is hardly getting away with anything. And there were presumably more than eleven violent protesters that day. They, too, are getting away with it.
There undoubtedly was violence that day. But there are others who could have been charged - ten others are also up before the beak - without attracting such negative attention. If nothing else, the spectacle of Alfie Meadows in the dock will rebound on the Met in PR terms. It can only seriously undermine the genuine efforts they have made in recent months to evolve a more balanced approach to policing large demonstrations. Can they really not have grasped this? Could it even be that Meadows is being charged not despite, but because of his injuries - to send a message about police ruthlessness and amorality, about the impossiblilty of challenging them? It's not inconceivable; but I find myself reaching the even more worrying conclusion that they really are that stupid.
There was a thoughtful article by David Aaronovitch in the Times Saturday magazine the other week - a sentence I never thought I'd write - in which he reminisced about his youthful demonstrating in the 1970s. It was a time when demonstrators had
...a more robust attitude to policing. Essentially, if we were doing anything that we weren't supposed to be doing... we expected the fuzz to do something about it. Once, at a demo outside South Africa House, I found myself pushed to the front of a pushing crowd. Unaccountably the policeman in front of me, his arms linked to those of his colleagues, began to kick my legs hard with his big boots... it felt like his way of telling me that there was some price to be paid for all this.
Now I suppose I'd take his number, photograph him, write an online column for the Guardian and insist on an investigation. But we didn't take pictures, and there was no comeback. The standing joke was that you'd get charged with whatever they did to you. If they simply carted you off to make up the numbers, you'd be charged with obstruction, as I was. And if they hit you, you'd face a charge for assaulting a police officer.
The Metropolitan Police appear to believe they still live in such a world. Perhaps they're right.

Zend_Translate goes configuration
- Posted by thomasw at 22:11:18 // //
- Zend Framework, I18N, Translate
Hy interested ones,
This is my third entry for Zend_Translate this week. Maybe I should call it "Zend_Translate"-week. :-)
Ok… so what have I done this time.
I reworked Zend_Translate a little bit. Now it supports Zend_Config and additionally all options can be given as array.
The change seems small but makes coding a little bit easier and more comfortable.
Previously you had to do:
new Zend_Translate('csv', '\path\to\myfile.csv', null, array('delimiter' => ':'));
Now you can do:
new Zend_Translate( array( 'adapter' => 'csv', 'content' => '\path\to\myfile.csv', 'delimiter' => ':' ) );
By using the array syntax the code is much more readable and seems more logical.
Of course you can also use a Zend_Config object instead of an array.
This syntax is also supported by using addTranslation(), but as you call addTranslation() on the adapter, you can't change the adapter within this method so it will be ignored in that case.
$translate->addTranslation( array( 'content' => '\path\to\translations\', 'locale' => 'de', 'scan' => Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY ) );
Note that this new feature is available as with ZF 1.10.3.
Of course the old syntax is still supported. So your old code works without that it has to be reworked (when you don't like to do that).
When you find this feature useful, feel free to use it yourself. :-)

Searching for translations
- Posted by thomasw at 00:24:59 // //
- Zend Framework, I18N, Translate
When you want to add translations then you have probably already used the scan option from Zend_Translate.
It allows you to search complete directory structures for translations.
The scan option has two ways how it can be used.
LOCALE_FILENAME and LOCALE_DIRECTORY.
They define how the language will be detected out of the directory and filename.
LOCALE_FILENAME means that the locale/language this translation file will be added to, will be detected by looking within the filename. And LOCALE_DIRECTORY does the same for the directory where this file has been detected.
Some example:
\dir\en\translation.xxx <= locale as directory "en" \dir_en\translation.xxx <= locale as directory "en" \dir\en_translation.xxx <= locale as filename "en" \dir\translation.en.xxx <= locale as filename "en"
Simple as is and for most of you nothing new.
But sometimes you may need to exclude some of the files and directories within the structure you are searching.
Therefor you can use the ignore option.
As with 1.10.3 this option accepts 3 syntax to be used.
You can use a single string… per default it is set to "." which means that all files and directories beginning with "." are ignored. For example all SVN directories begin with "." and are per default ignored. All files within this path will not be added.
array('ignore' => '.'); <= default for ignoring all SVN directories array('ignore' => 'test'); <= ignores all directories and files beginning with 'test'
The second line would ignore "\dir\test\en.mo" or "\dir\testme.mo" but it would accept "\dir\mytest.mo" as the later doe s not begin with "test". You may want to change this option. But be aware that, when you overwrite the ".", all SVN directories will be searched. So don't do this when you are working on or with SVN.
As second syntax you can use an array. This allows you to search for several syntax. But also using an array means, like using strings, that the directory or file has to begin with this pattern.
array('ignore' => array('.', 'test'); <= ignores SVN directories AND also those beginning with 'test'
Still there could be a problem… the directory or filename could have a syntax where it does not begin with a string. Here you have to use the third syntax. It allows you to use regular expressions to search for files and directories which have to be ignored.
array('ignore' => array('regex' => '/test/u', 'regex_2' => '/delete$/u');
The above example would ignore all files and directories which contain test anywhere within their name, and also all files and directories which end with delete.
This should give you enough flexibility to add only those translations which you need and ignore all others.
I hope you find this feature useful. More to come soon…

Working with multiple translation sources
- Posted by thomasw at 00:46:24 // //
- Zend Framework, I18N, Translate
Sometimes, when working with translation, you can come into a situation where you need to use multiple adapters.
Especially when you want to use the new resources, which are pre-translated validation messages and are available since 1.10.
There is a simple way how this can be archived by joining two translations. How does this work?
First, you need to have two translation sources:
$translation = new Zend_Translate( 'gettext', '\path\to\translations\', 'en', array('scan' => Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY) ); $translation_addme = new Zend_Translate( 'array', '\resources\languages\', 'en', array('scan' => Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY) );
In our example we used array resources and a gettext adapter.
Now we combine them to one translation, simply by:
That's it… now our first instance holds all translations from the second instance.
You can combine as much instances as you want.
The only limitation is, that you should not try to combine same keys by using different translations for these keys. This can (of course) lead to unexpected behaviour when you define two different translations for the same key.
To save resources you can also combine only one language from the second adapter.
$translation->addTranslation($translation_addme, 'en');
Note that this feature is available as with 1.10.3. There was no reason for me to wait for 2.0 for this feature. ;-)
I hope you find this feature useful for your daily work.
When not, you should probably take the I18n webinar about translation. ;-)
I will give a repetition in a few weeks.

Will Steve Jones Be X Factor Host Next Season?
The following are some suggestions for the X Factor to say to Steve Jones if they decide to break up with him. Dear Steve Jones, it wasn't you, it was me. You deserve better than me. Maybe we can stay friends.
I'm not sure anyone can live up to the level that Ryan Seacrest has set for that job, but I don't think it went well for Steve this season. Neither did The Hollywood Reporter in a recent review. He had to rush Paula Abdul many times and blamed the producers. Ryan had to do the same thing with Paula on Idol and we hardly noticed. Ryan has an instant connection with the contestants, and Steve looked like he was trying to connect, but just couldn't. He also seemed awkward at times with the judges, like last night when he tried to invite himself to Nicole's house for the holidays, to which she responded with a warm fuzzy,"what?", not once, but twice. He seems like a good guy, but I don't think we'll be seeing him next season. What do you think?

STRUGGLING to split Darley's two ace Blue Diamond fillies, jockey Kerrin McEvoy is hoping he can make a deathknock decision on which he rides in the $1 million race.
McEvoy was impressed with Metastasio's effortless win at Caulfield on Saturday but was mindful that stablemate Guelph will probably impress him equally at Caulfield next Saturday.
The Darley fillies represent the key dangers to South Australian superstar Miracles Of Life in the February 23 Diamond - a Diamond poised to be dominated by the fairer sex.
The market has Metastasio the marginally preferred of the two Darley fillies - she is $6.50, Guelph $7.50 - but trainer Peter Snowden has ranked Guelph the better chance and McEvoy ranks the last start Warwick Farm winner at least on par with Metastasio.
"She's a really nice filly; a big, strong girl," McEvoy said of Guelph. "I imagine I will be riding Guelph during the week and again on Saturday.
"It's hard to split them right now. If Guelph drew barrier 15 in the Diamond, then you'd be looking at the other filly as probably the better chance.
"We'll all have a talk about it (who rides what) close to the race but in these situations I'm often given a choice. Hopefully I can wait til the last minute."
McEvoy said there was improvement in Metastasio, who checked stide in the straight on Saturday and shied at the big screen.

Eriobotrya japonica
Loquat has many uses
Multi-tasking applies to more than busy people. Plants can do double duty as well. Loquat trees are a good example. They are a small attractive shade tree with fragrant flowers and spring fruit, the subject of this week's column.
According to Osceola County Extension Agent Eleanor Foerste, the loquat may be considered for Florida Yards that are cramped for space but seeking fast shade. Loquats are ideal for small yards as they only grow to 25 feet tall. They have large dark green leaves and naturally form a spreading umbrella shape suitable for creating shady areas for benches or swings.
Despite their name, Loquats are not related to the citrus plant, kumquat. Instead, they are distant cousins to apples and pears. Another name for this tree and its fruit is Japanese Plum, which gives a hint of where this plant originated.
Loquat trees bloom in the early winter. This year I've seen bumper crops of Loquat fruit in our area. If the blooms are damaged by temperatures below 28°F they may lose the winter fruit crop, but the trees will survive.
Large clusters of small fuzzy yellow fruit are found on loquats from February through March. Their oval shaped fruit is sweet and juicy, and they usually have only a single pit. Fruit can be eaten fresh or made into preserves. Pinch off the blossom end, squeeze the seed out and pop the fruit in your mouth for a tasty treat.
While these broadleaf trees are considered evergreen, they also lose leaves all year long. If placed away from turf areas, leaf pickup tasks can be reduced by leaving a mulched bed area under the tree. The large brown leaves are not as obvious in a brown mulched bed as they are on a green lawn. Mulch decomposes and enriches our sandy soil as it holds moisture and nutrients. Keeping them away from sidewalks and drives also avoids the problems of cleaning up unharvested fruit as well.
Loquats are best suited to full sun areas and well drained soil. Avoid planting them in soggy areas. They will do well in either sweet (alkaline) or sour (acid) soils.
If Loquats are grown from seeds, the fruit will be slow to appear and their quality will be unpredictable. If possible, look for named varieties such as 'Gold Nugget' or 'Champagne'. 'Oliver', 'Wolf' and 'Tanaka' are also favorites at nurseries which specialize in tropical fruits.
If a friend has a tree with tasty fruit, air layering can be used to produce a clone of your friends' desirable tree. Air layering is a fun way to grow roots on the tree's stem while it is still attached to the tree. The mother plant provides water while the shoot is developing roots so survival is often higher than with rooting cuttings from the tree.
Here's how to air layer a Loquat. Remove a few leaves between 8" and 12" from the shoot tip, leaving a 4" to 6" stem section exposed. Scrape the bark from a one inch section of the stem all the way around. Applying a small amount of rooting powder on the cut area with a small paint brush or cotton swab speeds up the rooting. Pre-soak with water two hands full of sphagnum moss then gently squeeze to remove dripping water.
Air Layering is a good way to propagate desirable kinds of Loquat trees. Also see diagrams in the Dooryard Citrus Propagation bulletin.
Hold the sheet of plastic wrap in your hand and place the clump of wet sphagnum moss on top. Press a crease in it and fold it around the cut part of the stem. Hold the plastic tightly and secure the bottom edge to the stem with a wire twist tie. Carefully fold the edges of the plastic together to form a good seal in the moist moss. (This wrapping process is easier if an extra set of hands is available.)
The plastic holds the moss against the cut stem and provides a moist place for roots to grow while it is still attached to the original mother plant. Many experienced propagators also cover the plastic with foil to prevent sunlight from damaging tender new roots. Birds are also sometimes known to peck at the worm like roots.
Watch for the roots grow inside the plastic. After a month or so, when the roots fill the moss, cut the shoot BELOW the rooted area so the new cutting has roots. Don't cut above the roots or the new plant will lack roots. This rooted cutting can be grown out in a pot for a period of time before it is planted in the yard.
Loquats are easy care plants which require little pruning. Fertilize once or twice a year with any garden or fruit fertilizer. Water may be needed during dry winter and spring weather when fruit is forming, but avoid over watering.
Keep an eye out for fruit flies that can attack loquat fruit. Fire blight disease is a problem some years. This bacterial disease attacks young shoots and causes them to turn brown and dead leaves hang on the stems. To stop this disease, trim out damaged stems well into green tissue. To avoid spreading the disease, dip pruning clippers in a dilute bleach solution (one part bleach to 9 parts water) between cuts.
Home gardeners can have it made in the shade by selecting loquat as an edible shade tree. I've placed more information on Loquats on our Okeechobee web page, http://okeechobee.ifas.ufl.edu.

Growing Tips
Pest Management Issues
Mites: Citrus rust, Citrus red (purple mites) and Texas citrus.
Scale: Citrus snow, Purple scale. glover scale, red scale, yellow scale, Cottony cushion scale, and Mealybugs. These insects will be prevalent in spring and early summer. Whitefly and Aphids can be found year round.
Caterpillars: Orange dogface is a large brown-and-white caterpillar is the larva of a black-and-yellow, swallowtailed butterfly. These butterfly caterpillars are left alone. Grasshoppers and katydids feed in the summer; hand removal works best.
Melanose, scab, greasy spot, Foot rot, canker are the most common problems. Fungicide treatment must occur on a regular basis. Light pruning, pruning of dead limbs and frequent removal of leaf and limb debris should occur on a regular basis.

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
There is one that works really, really well, however since the avalon was never equipped with a backup camera from the factory the only way to go is aftermarket and can be pretty expensive.
This is the part you need, click here.
You will need that adapter to interface with the navigation ECU in the trunk to display it on the factory screen up front, and you will also need to pick out any camera of your choice. Many can be had for $50 or so off ebay.
It is actually really easy to install it, there are 3 wires you need to hook up. A power wire switched with ACC key on, the reverse wire from the reverse lamps, and ground. There is one "T" plug that you will unplug one of the connectors on the back of the navigation ECU (it is in the rear, drivers side corner of the trunk under the carpet on the wall). You plug one end from the NAV-TV box's harness into the navigation ECU, and then plug in the connector you unplugged from the nav ECU into the other end of the T harness. All in all, you can have it done in about an hour. I've installed a bunch of these, and never had any issues with any of them, they work great. As I said the module box itself is kind of expensive, but is the only way you are going to interact a backup camera into the factory nav screen in the dash.

East Texas Has A Chance Of Seeing Snow And Winter Weather
Another arctic cold front will be moving through East Texas late this afternoon bringing with it much colder air, wind and the chance of snow!
Another arctic cold front will be moving through East Texas late this afternoon bringing with it much colder air, wind and the chance of snow!
This just in: winter is cold.
Have you ever wondered what freezing fog looks like? The Texas Department of Transportation shared some photos of the winter phenomenon on its Facebook page.
Remaining snow and sleet in East Texas is the cause of some districts to delay the start of classes or cancel them all together for some East Texas school districts. The latest delayed opening and closures list is here.
With winter weather coming down in full force, that leaves an unfortunate number of East Texas homeless out in the cold with nowhere to turn.
Winter has definitely made its presence known here in East Texas thanks to yesterday's wintry mix of sleet, freezing rain and some light snow. The mess that fell from the skies yesterday caused a ton of delays and cancellations for schools to businesses. Now comes word that more winter weather is in the forecast for East Texas with a posted Winter Storm Warning.
KLTV.com-Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville, Texas | ETX News
Our first real taste of winter is barreling it's way to East Texas right now! We're in for a big change tomorrow and the upcoming weekend as high temperatures are only going to be in the upper 40's, a big change from the upper 70's of this afternoon
Winter weather has crippled East Texas today. With loads of School and office closures due to icy road conditions most of us are at stuck at home, but there are plenty of people that must be out in it. These are the top professions that I would not to be in today.
Old man winter rears his ugly head once again bringing rain, thunder, lightning, sleet, freezing rain and some snow flakes to East Texas Sunday afternoon and evening and with temperatures near freezing in some areas and well below in others, some school districts in East Texas are opting to delay the start of classes for Monday or cancel them all together. Get the latest list of school closings right here.
Many East Texans thought they were going to wake up to a winter wonderland thanks to freezing rain that was expected overnight, but that didn't happen. The morning went on as normal with the exception of a few school districts that opted for a late start this morning. Will we be as lucky this afternoon?
Winter weather has arrived before the official start of winter and with the snow and ice that's expected in parts of East Texas, we'll keep you up to date on school closures and delays.
Thank you for sending us your pictures of the snow in your area.

Delivering Video on Demand
over Long-Reach Ethernet
Cisco Systems® developed Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) technology to deliver Ethernet service over existing single-pair wires. Cisco® LRE technology dramatically extends Ethernet over existing Category 1-3 wiring at speeds from 5 to 15 Mbps (full duplex) and distances of up to 5000 feet (1524 meters). It delivers broadband service on the same lines as basic telephone service and ISDN traffic. The LRE downlink (from the LRE switch to the customer-premises equipment [CPE]) and uplink frequency ranges from 1 to 3.5 MHz and from 4 to 8 MHz, respectively. Table 1 summarizes the performance of the Cisco Catalyst® 2924 LRE XL Switch and the Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch.
Table 1 Performance of Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL and Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switches
|Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL
|Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series
|Switching fabric
|Forwarding bandwidth
|Forwarding rate
|MAC address
As Table 1 indicates, both LRE switches are capable of supporting voice, video, and data on a single box over existing telephone wire. The video delivery method over LRE can be unicast or multicast. Both switches also support Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR). This feature offers bandwidth optimization and can be used for video delivery over LRE in a ring network architecture.
This white paper examines a typical network setup for a unicast video-on-demand (VOD) solution over LRE, explains the configurations, and discuss some implementation issues.
Network Architecture for VOD
Figure 1 is a network diagram for a VOD solution. Each LRE switch can support up to 24 CPE devices. A typical solution will probably use either the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch or the Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch. Both switches are shown in Figure 1 to highlight the uplink difference between the two.
Figure 1
Network Architecture for VOD over Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL and Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switches
Physical and Logical Architecture
Figure 1 shows the network setup for unicast video delivery over LRE. The network can be split into three distinct domains; room, intermediate distribution frame (IDF), and main distribution frame (MDF). The CPE, microfilters, set-top box, and TV are installed in the room. The LRE switch and the telephone splitter are installed in the IDF (large installation) or MDF (small installation). A Cisco Catalyst 3500 Series core switch, video server, application servers, and Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) are typically installed in the MDF. A Cisco BBSM is not required for a VOD solution over LRE. It is used when the solution calls for VOD and concurrent Internet access. In some VOD solutions, a boot or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server can also be used.
Microfilter and CPE
The CPE is directly connected to the phone jack in the room. No microfilter is required on the jack because the CPE already has a built-in microfilter for connecting a telephone. A low-pass microfilter should be installed on all other active jacks in the room to prevent line loading by the telephone at higher frequencies and to eliminate disturbance to telephone service by LRE transmission.
The Cisco 575 LRE CPE Device provides one RJ-45 port and two RJ-11 connectors for the LRE link and analog phone. The Cisco 585 LRE CPE Device provides four RJ-45 switched ports along with two RJ-11 connectors. The 4-port Cisco 585 LRE CPE should be used to deliver video and Internet access concurrently. The Cisco 575 LRE CPE, which has only one Ethernet port, cannot support video and Internet access at the same time. The Cisco 585 LRE CPE also supports 802.1p quality of service (QoS) and can prioritize voice or video over data traffic.
Telephone Splitter
A basic telephone service splitter is required for building deployments in which the private branch exchange (PBX) is onsite and basic telephone traffic must coexist with LRE traffic over the same line. The splitter is designed to block LRE frequencies from reaching the telco switch and to allow a subscriber's telephone to have a normal DC current path to the telco switch. The physical connections from the CPEs will terminate on the telephone splitter over the Category 3 wire, and the telephone splitter will direct the telephone traffic to the PBX and other traffic (data and video) to the LRE switch.
LRE Switch
The logical connection from the CPEs will terminate on the Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series LRE switch on interfaces
longReachEthernet 0/1 thru 0/24. These LRE interfaces need to be configured for proper virtual LAN (VLAN) assignments and other port-specific features, which are discussed later in detail. The connection between the Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series LRE and Cisco Catalyst 3500 Series core switch varies depending on the specific switch types. If the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch is used, Fast Ethernet ports between the two switches can be bundled together as an EtherChannel® connection for greater bandwidth. If a Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch is used, an EtherChannel connection is not necessary because the uplink port on that switch can support Gigabit Ethernet.
Core Switch
A Cisco Catalyst 3500 Series XL Switch or a Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch can be used as a core switch for delivering VOD. A Cisco Catalyst 4000 Series or 6000 Series switch is recommended for large installations. The specific switch type will depend on the following factors:
The Cisco Catalyst 3500 Series XL Switch or the Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch can be used for a flat Layer 2 network design. With the Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series or any Layer-3-capable switch, each LRE switch and server can reside on its own subnetwork (VLAN), and the Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch will route between the subnetworks. The core switch examines incoming packets to distinguish between a video request and control traffic and between video traffic and Internet data traffic, and directs the traffic accordingly to a video server, set-top box, or Cisco BBSM.
Video Server and Application Server
The video, boot, and application servers all connect to the core switch using Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet link. These servers can have internal and external network connections depending on the design and vendor requirements.
The video server can use gigabit link or load balance between two Fast Ethernet links for greater bandwidth utilization. This will depend on the model of the core switch and the specific video server and its capabilities. The video sever is where all the movies are stored. It has to be configured properly according to the requirement of the property. Careful planning of the storage capacity, hard drives, memory, and power requirements of the video server is necessary. In general, the video server should be designed and configured for a 25 percent concurrent take rate.
The application server is used to create a vendor-specific user interface on the set-top box (the welcome page, the menu, and so on.). It also directs different requests to the video server.
Cisco BBSM
A Cisco BBSM is used for delivering Internet access. It is also used for billing, accounting, authentication, and port control. The Cisco BBSM uses two Network Interface Cards (NICs) for the external and internal sides of the network. Private IP addresses can be used on the internal side; address translation needs to occur on the outgoing router. As previously mentioned, Cisco BBSM is not required for VOD-only deployments.
Internet Router
Typically a Cisco 2600 Series Multiservice Platform with enough memory can be used for Internet connection and remote network management. Appropriate access control lists needs to be configured in the router to block unwanted traffic and unauthorized access.
Configuration Steps
The first configuration step is to configure the uplink ports of the Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series LRE connecting to the core switch. In case of the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch, two to four Fast Ethernets can be grouped together to form an EtherChannel connection. Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch has gigabit uplink ports, and so an EtherChannel connection is not necessary. The second step is to configure the LRE ports connecting to each room. LRE ports are configured with specific VLANs, features for security, and QoS as required. Figure 2 shows the configuration commands for a Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch, a Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch, and a Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch for a VOD application based on Figure 1. The command-line interface (CLI) is a little different on the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch and the Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch. Full configurations of both switches are included in the appendix at the end of this document.
Figure 2
Configuration Commands
|Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch Configuration:
Command Explanations
- port group <>This command creates a Fast EtherChannel connection between the LRE and the aggregation switch for high bandwidth connection. The interfaces that are members of this channel group act as a single logical port. The port group <> distribution destination command is configured only on the core switch to make sure that it performs load balancing on the EtherChannel based on the destination (specific set-top boxes). The default is source-based load balancing, which in this case will cause the video traffic to use only one of the Fast Ethernet ports.
- lre profile <profile name> / profile <profile name>This command configures a specific LRE profile to the interface. The default profile is LRE-10, which provides 10-Mbps symmetrical upstream and downstream bandwidth. Available LRE profiles can be viewed by issuing the command show controller LRE profile names. The profiles can be different for the LRE interfaces on the same switch.
- port block unicastBy default, a switch floods packets with unknown destination MAC addresses to all ports. This command blocks unknown unicast flooding that results from link failures on other LRE ports. Without this feature LRE ports with lower profiles can get inundated with unknown flooded traffic, causing the video stream to freeze.
- port block multicastThis command blocks unknown multicast forwarding to the port. These two commands are only available on the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch. The Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch will support these in a future release.
- port protected / switchport protectedIn an LRE deployment at hotels, multitenant units, or multiple-dwelling units, no direct forwarding of traffic between the rooms or tenants should occur. This command disables the Layer 2 forwarding of traffic between the ports on an LRE switch. The forwarding can happen at a Layer 3 device where access control lists can be applied for security. Individual ports of the Cisco 585 LRE CPE Device can be configured for this feature by the cpe protected port <> command under the main LRE interface.
- switchport access VLAN <>This command assigns interfaces to specific VLANs. The port must be configured as an access port with the switchport mode access command before any VLAN assignment.
- spanning-tree portfastThis Port Fast feature brings a port directly from a blocking state into a forwarding state. Without this feature, it will take 20 to 30 seconds for a port to come up, compared with 5 seconds or less with this feature enabled. A port with Port Fast enabled goes through the normal cycle of shielded twisted-pair (STP) status changes only when the switch is restarted.
- spanning-tree rootguardThis feature blocks a switch or any other device outside the network to become the root switch. If a switch or other device outside the network becomes a root switch because of STP calculations, the interface is blocked (root-inconsistent state), and the STP selects a new root switch.
Optional Features
The following optional features can be applied with the VOD solution to make it more robust, dynamic, and secure. Some of these features are available only on the new Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch and the Cisco 585 LRE CPE Device.
- RSTP and MSTPIEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provide rapid convergence of spanning tree (less than 2 seconds, compared with 15-30 seconds with 802.1d) in case of link failure and Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links. Configuration of 802.1w and 802.1s is recommended for a Layer 2 network design. This feature is supported only on the Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch.
- Access control listAn access control list can be applied on an individual LRE port to filter traffic based on Layer 2-4 classifications to prevent unauthorized data flows. In hotels, multitenant units, and multiple-dwelling units, this tool is useful in preventing unauthorized access between rooms.
- Port Aggregation ProtocolThis technology allows dynamic bandwidth aggregation between the switches and is available only on the Cisco Catalyst 2950 LRE Series Switch.
- 802.1pThe Cisco 585 LRE CPE Device supports 802.1p QoS with priority queues. This feature can be used to prioritize voice and video traffic over data traffic.
- Port securityThis feature secures the access to a port based on the MAC address of a user's device. The MAC address is stored statically and removed only when the security aging timer expires. This can be useful in an environment in which set-top boxes don't send out periodic packets or keepalives to the video or application server.
- Link persistenceThe LRE link persistence feature allows configuration of delay duration before dynamic MAC addresses are removed from the MAC address table because of LRE link drops. This is useful in a noisy environment in which an LRE link flap causes MAC address deletion, which in turn causes video freeze.
- 802.1xThis feature allows users to be authenticated before getting access to the network and is particularly useful in a wireless environment. This feature is supported only on the Cisco 575 LRE CPE Device.
Implementation Notes
LRE Profile Selection
Configuration of an LRE switch is straightforward; however, the configuration will vary based on different VOD systems' requirements. Special attention needs to be paid while configuring LRE profiles. Based on a typical digital movie encoding rate of 3.75 Mbps to 6 Mbps default, an LRE-10 profile will do. When any other profile is used in a room because of noise and poor line quality, that profile has to support both the downstream and upstream requirement of the VOD system. Selection of LRE profiles largely depends on the noise level and quality of the phone line. So the better the phone line the better the chances of running VOD over LRE smoothly. Some VOD systems might require low-latency LRE profiles for a faster booting process when the set-top box is powered up. Table 2 lists all the available LRE profiles for the VOD application. The LRE-5 profile is not recommended for a movie encoding rate of more than 4 Mbps. Concurrent Internet access and downloading of large files can affect the video quality in a room with a lower rate profile. The use of the 802.1p QoS feature can alleviate this problem by prioritizing video traffic over data.
Table 2 LRE Profiles for VOD
|Profile Name
Cisco 575 and 585 LRE CPE Devices
Important: Read the following usage notes regarding the Cisco LRE CPE devices:
- The Cisco 585 LRE CPE should be used for concurrent VOD and Internet access. The Cisco 575 LRE CPE can be used for either VOD or Internet access but not both.
- The four Ethernet ports of the Cisco 585 LRE CPE cannot be configured into separate VLANs.
- The Cisco 575 and 585 LRE CPE devices are interchangeable without any software configuration changes on the LRE switches. However, the power supply of the Cisco 575 LRE CPE cannot be used with the Cisco 585 LRE CPE.
- Both the Cisco 575 and 585 LRE CPE devices are unable to tag packets, but they will transport tagged packets transparently.
A low-pass microfilter must be installed on all the active phone jacks in the room except the one that connects to the CPE. Microfilters reduce the effects of bridge taps, which cause impedance mismatch and LRE signal attenuation. Fax machines and other basic telephone service devices connected to the phone jack require microfilters, too. Cisco recommends the use of Excelsus Z-Blocker In-Line filter.
Cisco BBSM
Cisco BBSM is designed for "plug and play" and runs a DHCP server. When a client sends an Address Resolution Protocol request for the IP address, Cisco BBSM will provide an IP address with its own address for the default gateway. If the set-top box uses DHCP, then the Cisco BBSM might respond before the designated DHCP server, preventing the set-top box from booting and directing traffic to the appropriate video or application server. The use of Bootstrap Protocol can resolve this issue because Cisco BBSM ignores Bootstrap Protocol requests.
STP Issues
Connecting or disconnecting any router or switch in a Layer 2 VOD network might trigger an STP topology change and cause the LRE switches to flush out the MAC address table. MAC address flushing causes the video stream to freeze. Special attention also needs to be paid when connecting any end device like a PC to an unused port of the core switch. The unused port needs to have the spanning-tree portfast command configured to guard against any STP change.
Case Study: NXTV VOD Solution
This case study examines a VOD solution over LRE designed and deployed by NXTV, Inc. The $125 million Harrah's Rincon Hotel and Casino in San Diego, California opened in August 2002. Harrah's Rincon is a 200-room luxury resort offering 45,000 square feet of gaming space with more than 1500 slot machines, 30 gaming tables, and 6 restaurants. Managed by Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., Harrah's Rincon is now considered the premier hotel-casino in Southern California.
The entire hotel, including every guest room, is wired with telephone grade (Category 3) cable, which is aggregated at a single main distribution frame (MDF). A single cable pair is dedicated in each room for providing NXTV over LRE. Features delivered by NXTV at Harrah's Rincon include:
- Digital video on demand with trick-play functionality such as pause, rewind, fast forward, and bookmark
- High-speed Internet access on televisions and laptops, with multiple virtual private network (VPN) support
- Television e-mail service
- Video games
- Hotel portal with cross-marketing and promotional capabilities
Another integral part of the system at Harrah's Rincon is NXTVue, a browser-based real-time system monitoring and backend management tool that provides a comprehensive "view" of the entire system. NXTVue features include real-time viewing of system buy rates, revenue information, sales analysis, room status, system status, and network status. NXTVue efficiently empowers the following capabilities: dynamically adjust product and pricing information, remotely manage and distribute content, centrally rollout system updates and enhancements.
NXTV has successfully installed its system at some of the most prestigious hotels in the world. Based on its success in the hospitality industry, NXTV has adapted its LRE solution to be deployed in health-care, financial, education, and distance-learning environments.
The NXTV VOD solution (Figure 3) at Harrah's Rincon is deployed on a dedicated Category 3 cable pair. The video and basic telephone service are delivered on different lines, so a telephone service splitter is not required. The solution also includes a boot server installed at the MDF. The server provides IP address assignment, gateway information, and other set-top-box-specific services. The NXTVue system is used for billing and accounting instead of a Cisco BBSM. Each NXTV Set Top Box has two Ethernet ports: one connects to the CPE, and the other can be used for Internet access. Thus, the NXTV solution provides VOD and Internet access with one Ethernet-port Cisco 575 LRE CPE. Each LRE switch resides on its own VLAN. The video, application, and boot servers reside on another VLAN. The Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch routes between these VLANs.
