> Seems a long-winded way of producing a BooleanFilter but I guess you are trying to work with user input in the form of query strings. Yes I am. I had the same impression but I couldn't figure out a more straightforward way. > The bug in your code is that clause.getQuery().getString() is not producing terms that are in your index - the first call to getTermsFilter passes the string "+f1:aaa +f1:bbb" which is not a term in the index. OK, thanks. I'll have look at that. > Given the requirement is to ignore scoring I would recommend (as someone else suggested) looking at the IndexSearch.search method that takes a HitCollector and simply accumulate all results, regardless of score. I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I was just curious to know what was wrong with my initial approach. Thanks for your comments.

I had a nasty visit to Flower Hospital's ER on July 26 2013 at 4 am. I wear an indwelling urinary catheter. It became dislodged by accident. The catheter was no longer functioning. The doctor on duty refused to help me, and told me to see my urologist the next day. I insisted the catheter was not working. So, he called secuity to throw me out.

Several Chick-fil-A restaurants, including the Harker Heights and Killeen locations, are hosting the fifth annual Soup for the Hungry Soul Drive.
Each restaurant will donate an order of soup to their local Salvation Army for every Chick-fil-A chicken tortilla soup or Chick-fil-A hearty breast of chicken soup purchased until 10 p.m. today.
"The drive is unique to this area and we love to support the community," said Ericka Villarreal, restaurant marketing director for Harker Heights. "This is a great opportunity for us to help our community and do what we can to help others in need."
During the past four years, the Waco, Killeen and Harker Heights restaurants donated 234 cases of soup and the Temple restaurants donated $6,423.09 to local Salvation Army operations because of the drive.
The Harker Heights restaurant donated 80 cases during the time period. So far, the locally owned franchise has collected 18 cases.
"The Central Texas Chick-fil-A restaurants are thrilled to be partnering with the Salvation Army for Soup for the Hungry Soul for the fifth year," said Debbie Quarles, restaurant marketing director.
"We hope our customers in each city will help us reach our goal so that we can make a direct impact on those in our communities."

on the daily we are now a bit over extended , i see a good spot to join the trend on a pull-back to around the $36 mark. the reason for this that there is a pivot point (marked by the red line) it is lining up with a 50%level from the previous swing, and it also lines up with 38.2% fib level from the one before that. if price retaces to this $36 area the moving adverges will be close to the area. i will be placing a stop above 100% level at roughly $37.51 there is a few pivots to potect the stop, and a break of this level would make the reasons for the trade void. i see potential to fill the gap so a target around $30.61 marked by the pink line offers good R:R.
Order cancelled: this trade is cancelled as the pivot point and there for the reason for entry no long hold up, i am still looking for an opportunity to enter as i see more downside.

What do most people think of when someone talks about "the Occupied Territories?" They assume the speaker means the West Bank of the Jordan, of course, which has been under Israeli control following a defensive war in 1967, though much of it is now internally governed by the Palestinian Authority.
It shows us the power of the long-term attempt to de-legitimize Israel — because, in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world, there are huge amounts of land occupied by various states or ethno-religious groups.
Next door to Israel, a civil war has been raging for the last three years in Syria, as the Sunni Arab majority is trying to wrest control of much of the country from the Alawite Shia minority, only 12 per cent of the population and centred in the country's northwest. They have "occupied" the rest of Syria since the 1970s.
In next-door Iraq, the Shia-dominated regime of Nouri al-Maliki now "occupies" the "Sunni Triangle" in the mid-third of the country. Here too an insurgency in underway. The Kurdish entity in the north is now self-governing, but Kurds in southeastern Turkey, across the border, remain "occupied" by the Ankara-based Turkish state founded by Kemal Ataturk.
Kurds also live under occupation in Syria and Iran. Persians constitute just 61 per cent of the population in the Islamic Republic, followed by Azeris at 16 per cent and Kurds at 10 per cent. In 1945, Azeris in Iran's northwest, where they form a majority, were defeated in their attempt to set up their own state.
India is effectively an occupying power in Muslim-majority Kashmir, while to its north, China occupies Tibet and Xinjiang, with its large Uyghur and other Muslim populations. In Myanmar, the Burman-majority state occupies large swaths of the country inhabited by various ethnic groups, including the Shan, Kayin, Mon and Kachin. They have been fighting for independence for decades.
Most African states are artificial entities, often dominated by one group to the exclusion of others. Ethiopia, for example, occupies the Ogaden region in its southeast, populated by Somalis. Until South Sudan gained its independence in 2011, it was occupied by Arab-majority Sudan. East Timor freed itself from Indonesian occupation in 2002. The Ibo of southeastern Nigeria failed to gain an independent state of Biafra in the 1960s.
The Russian Federation is a colonial occupier in the north Caucasus region, where Chechnya, Dagestan, and Ingushetia are populated by Muslim peoples.
As far as many people in Ireland are concerned, Great Britain's control of Northern Ireland is also little more than an occupation, following the partition of the island in 1922. In Spain, many Basques and Catalans feel
the same way about rule from Madrid.
And, of course, the settler states in the western hemisphere, in particular Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay in South America, and Canada and the United States in North America, were all wrested away from indigenous populations. The same holds true for Australia and New Zealand.
So the next time someone refers, without further elaboration, to "the occupied territories," you might wish to respond, "which ones?"

The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a perfect drop pass, a flummoxing dangle and a quick snapper buried into the afternoon poker news top shelf.
Have something you'd like featured in a future 3-Bet? Let us know in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find Gus Hansen poking his head back into online poker, Esa Tikkanen steps into the Golden Cash Game and Steven Holloway captures the poker tournament experience perfectly.
1) Gus Hansen Rides Again (Kinda)
He's back! Sort of.
Gus Hansen returned to the online poker tables last night for the first time since his partnership with Full Tilt Poker disintegrated a couple of months ago.
It was brief, sure. Just 71 hands at two 2-7 Triple Draw tables.
Net loss: $50,001, keeping his total losses for 2014 still around $5.5m.
Net gain for the poker world: A lot, as it's an encouraging sign we've yet to see the last of Gus - especially online, where there could be no better story than Hansen making a big surge back up towards solvency by the end of the year.
Was Gus just getting his sea legs back for a big Christmas season push? Let's hope so.
2) Blom, Brolin and Esa Tikkanen!
We won't beat you over the head with the Unibet Golden Cash Game anymore (today is the last day) but if you've yet to watch, please do.
Viktor Blom is back. Footballer Tomas Brolin is back. Jamie Sykes (who has burned 6.5k on the 7-2 game alone) is back. And this time they're joined by NHL legend Esa Tikkanen!
We've delighted in watching Tikkanen bury feathery passes from Wayne Gretzky over the years and we're pretty sure we'll delight in watching the Finn play poker. Stream below:
3) How to Lose $2.5k in Two Hours
We love this first-hand report by the New Zealand Herald's Steven Holloway of a go at the recent ANZPT Main Event in Auckland.
Why? It pretty much captures the magic and anguish of the poker tournament experience in its entirety.
The absurdity to non-poker players of paying $2,500 to play a poker tournament.
The thrill of getting to your seat and finding a little bit of swag waiting for you.
The embarassment of a live misclick. An excruciating bustout hand.
The relief of knowing you wouldn't play the hand differently.
And the unflagging desire to do it again the next chance you get.
By the sounds of it, playing in New Zealand also offers some pretty sweet value. We recommend looking into it.

- 40% of our population are diabetic.
- Among pregnant patients women over 35 have a higher risk of diabetes.
- Patients undergoing IVF (Test Tube Baby) are at higher risk.
- If undetected, diabetes can result in abnormal babies and miscarriages.
- Ideal is to control it before planning pregnancy.
- During pregnancy if not controlled can lead to preterm delivery, big babies, stillbirths and death immediately after delivery.
- Pre Pregnancy counseling, dietary advice, maintaining normal blood glucose levels with insulin, checking on the function of the kidneys is very important to prevent complications.
- During delivery maintaining blood sugar levels is important to prevent problems to mother and baby. After birth babies can have low blood sugar. To maintain sugar levels observation in the neonatal intensive care unit is a must.
- In conclusion, a multidisciplinary approach by the obstetrician, diabetologist and neonatal care specialist is ideal.

The present invention is related to the following copending and commonly assigned United States patent applications: System and Method for Partitioning a Storage Area Network Associated Data Library, filed Dec. 28, 2001 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,715,031; System and Method for Partitioning A Storage Area Network Associated Data Library Employing Element Addresses, filed Dec. 28, 2001 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,839,824; Ser.

No. 10/033,003, entitled Method for Using Partitioning to Provide Capacity on Demand in Data Libraries, filed Dec. 28, 2001; System and Method for Intermediating Communication with a Moveable Media Library Utilizing a Plurality of Partitions, filed Dec. 28, 2001 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,845,431; and Ser. No. 10/034,083, entitled System and Method for Managing a Moveable Media Library with Library Partitions, filed Dec. 28, 2001; the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention generally relates to data storage; and more specifically to a system and method of managing access to multiple devices employed in a partitioned data tape library.
In certain storage area network (SAN) usage scenarios, such as those encountered by storage service providers (SSPs), there are multiple customers attempting to share common SAN resources. In such cases, there is a need to ensure that customers can only see and access the storage resources they have been allocated and prevent them from accessing storage of other customers. For example, if a customer stores their critical business data with a SSP, then they generally do not want other customers of the SSP reading their data or even being aware that they have information stored with the SSP. Thus, there is a need to secure the storage device resources so that only specified users or equipment connected to the SAN can access or be aware of those resources.
Further problems arise in some storage devices that can be subdivided into multiple separate resources. For example, a disk array can have multiple redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) or partitions defined where each RAID set appears as a different fibre channel (FC) logical unit number (LUN). Each one of these FC LUNs can be dedicated to a different server. Therefore, it may not be possible to secure the resources of a SAN whole-device by whole-device. Instead, the SAN resources may need to be secured at the LUN level.
Existing fibre channel (FC) disk array firmware may be used to provide security in an FC redundant array of independent disks (RAID), since the disk array firmware has direct control over the array's ports connected to the SAN. Every host and device connection into the SAN generally has a unique FC-based world-wide-name (WWN), which can be used by an FC-based RAID to uniquely identify a device or host connection. Therefore, the FC-disk array firmware may be configured so that when a host attempts to send a small computer systems interface (SCSI) command to a FC-logical unit number (LUN) inside the RAID, the firmware will check the originating WWN from the server that sent the command against a list of authorized WWNs. If the WWN is on the list of authorized WWNs for that RAID FC-LUN, the SCSI command may be processed, if the WWN is not on the list of authorized WWNs for the RAID FC-LUN the command will be rejected. The list of authorized WWN's for each RAID FC-LUN may be configured via the existing management software for the RAID.
However, if an existing SCSI device such as a data tape library is connected to a FC-based SAN via a FC-to-SCSI bridge, it is not possible with existing security measures to secure these devices so that only certain hosts can see and access them. For example, if a tape library is connected to a SAN via a FC-to-SCSI bridge, then it is visible to and accessible by every server connected to that SAN. This is unacceptable from a data security standpoint for a SAN that provides storage resources to different customers.
Existing FC switches are capable of configuring security "zones" that define what WWNs or FC ports of servers can recognize listed WWN's or FC ports of devices. Such FC port and WWN security does not extend to FC addresses or FC device LUNs. Therefore, it is only possible to secure at the FC port level using existing FC switches on switch zoning.
Even were FC switches developed that have the capability of defining security zones down to the device LUN level, for SCSI tape libraries attached behind FC bridges, it still would be impractical for a user to define security zones. The tape library may have multiple FC bridges, with each bridge connected to a subset of the library tape drives. Additionally, the tape library may be logically partitioned, and such partitions may extend across multiple FC bridges. For example, a tape library partition may use three tape drives connected to two different FC bridges. It would be impractical for a user to correctly identify which FC ports and LUNs are associated together in the same security zone for an existing switch with any certainty. Understandably, mistakes may easily be made in such a manual process. Furthermore, to use existing switch zoning with a partitioned SCSI-based tape library the library controller should be on a separate bridge from any drives. This would require existing libraries to support two bridges per level, at least on one level, which existing libraries cannot do. Another problem is that switch zoning must be carried out per-bridge, so there would be a two drive per partition restriction/requirement for partitioned SCSI tape libraries connected to a SAN using existing FC-to-SCSI bridges.
A data library system with managed device access comprises at least one partition, a plurality of data transfer elements each of the data transfer elements assigned to a partition, a plurality of data storage element slots, each of the slots assigned to a partition, a library controller comprising a virtual controller for each partition, the virtual controller directing movement of the media to and from the slots assigned to a same partition and to and from the data transfer elements assigned to the same partition, and at least one bridge operatively disposed between at least one user and the library, each of the bridges present the data transfer elements and the virtual controllers of each partition to the users as logical components beginning at a same designation for each partition.
The present invention is directed to systems and methods which provide managed host access to multiple standard SCSI devices in a partitioned data library. Preferably this access is provided in a secure, yet OS-friendly, manner and may be carried out via a fiber channel-SCSI bridge. The present inventive systems and methods preferably present various subsets, including empty subsets, of a population of SCSI library devices behind a FC-to-SCSI bridge to different initiators by keying on the initiators' FC world-wide-names (WWNs). The present systems and methods preferably employ FC security for FC-to-SCSI bridges connected to a partitioned data library.
The present invention addressees problems that may arise in the case of some operating systems (OSs) or storage applications for tape libraries and backup applications where storage devices recognized by a server do not start at LUN-0. For example, an OS or backup application might ignore devices at a SCSI-ID which maps to a FC port if LUN-0 was not detected for that SCSI-ID during boot-up operations or the like. The present invention allows SCSI devices with one or more LUNs to be secured via a FC-to-SCSI bridge, while presenting devices that start at LUN-0 regardless of the host accessing the FC-to-SCSI bridge.
Preferably, in the present invention each library bridge has a separate target SCSI-ID, with accessible components or elements behind the bridge presented as LUNs starting from a same designation, preferably zero. However, the library's host bus adapter configuration preferably determines how these LUNs are presented. Additionally, the present system and method preferably ensures that if multiple LUN-based library partitions are defined on the same FC-to-SCSI bridge, the SCSI devices in each library partition are preferably presented as LUNs in the aforementioned OS-friendly manner. This is preferably accomplished by numbering the LUNs as presented to each host contiguously starting from zero. So if devices in a partition are split across several bridges, a number of target SCSI-ID's with LUNs starting from zero under each target SCSI-ID are preferably employed by each bridge.
Turning to
Data tape library 200 employing a preferred embodiment of the present system and method is illustrated in
For partitions to employ the present system and method library media slots 205 and tape drives 201–204 should be assigned to each partition, and a virtual library controller should be addressable with respect to each partition. The slots may be assigned by trays or individually. The example partitioning shown in
SCSI library controller 213, preferably with a separate LUN presented for each library partition, LUN-0 for partition 215, LUN-1 for partition 216 and LUN-2 for partition 217, is also connected to one of the FC-to-SCSI bridges 210. Because of this complexity, the control of the FC-LUN security is preferably via a library subsystem management interface of RMC 212, which is connected to FC-to-SCSI bridges 210 and 211 via a private management network such as I2C bus 214. Thereby, users may configure security for each library partition via a library web management interface, rather than being required to configure the security separately for each FC-to-SCSI bridge 210 and 211 attached to library 200. As the FC-LUN security in the bridges is preferably configured via the management interface of the tape library in the present system and method, this configuration takes place out-of-band, not through the SCSI bus(es) used to carry user data.
With attention directed to
The tape library management firmware preferably maintains which resources in tape libraries 200 and 200 b, such as tape drives 201–204, media slots 205 and changer LUNs, are members of which library partition 215, 216, 217, 215 b or 217 b. Therefore, when a user sets security for specific library partition according to a preferred embodiment, the library management firmware sends a request over management network such as I2C 214 or the like, to each FC-to-SCSI bridge 210 or 211 that has devices that are part of that library partition attached. A FC-to-SCSI bridge that has library changer device and SCSI controller 213 attached, for example bridge 210, will be affected by any library partition security changes, since every library partition contains one of the SCSI ID LUNs of library changer/controller 213.
Preferred process 300 used to set up security or to enter a security setting change is illustrated in
Preferably, when a FC-to-SCSI bridge receives a security configuration change request over its management interface, the bridge checks, at 304, that the list of SCSI Device Bus/ID/LUN objects included in the request are a valid subset of the SCSI devices attached to the bridge. The bridge firmware should include any tape drives that have been set to offline status via the library management interface in the check to avoid unwarranted mismatches. If there is a mismatch between the list of objects in the security request and those attached to the bridge, the security request will preferably be rejected with an error indicating the mismatch, box 305. If the SCSI Bus/ID/LUN objects in a security request match the bridge attached devices, then the bridge firmware will preferably add the new library partition security information into the security lookup-table held by the bridge firmware (box 306) as indicated below. Preferably, the security look-up table is held in non-volatile memory in the bridges and is indexed by authorized WWNs, not by SCSI Bus/ID/LUN objects. This facilitates providing OS-friendly mapping as also discussed below.
Preferably, the default security state of the FC-to-SCSI bridges is a single unsecured entry in the security look-up table which lists all of the devices attached to the bridge by SCSI Bus/ID/LUN. So, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, initially any host is preferably authorized to access any of the attached devices. Also, the default partition ID is preferably set as 0. Therefore, according to this embodiment, by default the entire library is initially partitioned as a single unsecured partition with the partition ID of 0, until altered via a web interface, library control panel or other means. The library management firmware preferably assigns a unique partition ID for each new partition it is directed to create, preferably the same as the virtual changer LUN assigned to that library partition. However, the partition ID may be any relatively unique number.
With attention directed to
In the example illustrated in
Preferably, source ID 408 of each incoming command is compared against tables 400 and used to determine security access as indicated below. If source ID 408 matches row 401, 402, or 404 in tables 400 then a temporary virtual device object list is made by first taking the device objects in the row matching the source ID 408 and then appending the device objects of unsecured lists 403 and 405 to the temporary virtual device object list. The FC target LUN in the FC command is then remapped/mapped to a target Bus/ID/LUN on the bridge by counting along the device object entries in the temporary list.
In example tables 400 of
Similarly, turning to temporary device list 502 when the host with WWN_2 sends a SCSI command to FC LUN-0 on bridge 1, then it would be directed to device 415 WWN_2 entry 402. If the command from WWN_2 is sent to LUN-0 on bridge 0, then it would be directed to device 414 in WWN_2 entry 404. If the command from WWN_2 is sent to LUN-1 of bridge 1, then it is directed to device 413 in unsecured list 405. If the command from WWN_2 was sent to LUN-1 of bridge 0, then it would be directed to unsecured device 412 in unsecured list 403.
If source ID 408 does not match any row in the table then temporary virtual device object list 503, made up of only device objects 412 and 413 in unsecured lists 403 and 405 is created. The FC target LUN in the FC command is then mapped to a target Bus/ID/LUN on the bridge by counting along the device object entries in the temporary list. For example, using the example look-up table for bridge 0, if a host not in table 400, for example WWN_4, sends a SCSI command to FC LUN-0 on bridge 0, then it would be directed to first device 412 on bridge 0 in the list for unsecured entry 403.
This system and method not only provides complete secure access to the devices, it also provides an OS-friendly LUN mapping scheme so that each server host will always see its library resources starting at LUN-0. This facilitates the use of conventional backup software with a partitioned data tape library.
Turning to
If at 602 some or all of the device objects of the request are not to be disabled, a determination is made at 603 if the security configuration request contains an unsecure command. If the security configuration request contains an unsecure command, the list of device objects from the security configuration request, with partition ID information, are added to the unsecured row in the table, at box 604, enforcing bus/ID/LUN orderings.
Next, if the security configuration request contains a list of WWNs at box 605, a check is preferably made to see if each WWN matches an existing look-up table entry. If each WWN does not match an existing look-up table entry at 606, then a new entry to the look-up table for each unmatched WWN is preferably added at box 607. The new device object entries are based on the SCSI Bus/ID/LUN objects and the partition ID contained in the security configuration request and are added to the bridge security look-up table, enforcing bus/ID/LUN ordering.
If a WWN matches an existing look-up table row at 606, the device objects, partition ID/SCSI Bus/ID/LUN combinations, in the security configuration request are added to the bridge security look-up table for that entry at box 608, enforcing bus/ID/LUN ordering.
If a FC-to-SCSI bridge supports data mover LUNs for unattended direct back-up of RAID data or the like, then the security of the data-movers can also be configured by sending a security configuration request to on FC-to-SCSI bridge. The data-mover LUNs will have their own Bus/ID/LUN on the bridge and will preferably be subject to the LUN ordering scheme implemented by the bridge.
An advantage of the present system and method is that security configuration changes to the look-up table are preferably made to devices inside a specific library partition. Thus, any SCSI commands currently active to devices or being carried out by devices in other partitions on the same FC-to-SCSI bridge are unaffected by the security change
If the library management interface allows a user to manually change the SCSI ID of devices that are attached to the FC-to-SCSI bridges, this operation is preferably integrated with the present security system and method. To that end, any SCSI ID change via the management interface should also trigger a security configuration request for the affected library partition to its FC-to-SCSI bridge(s).
A security configuration erase command should be available over the FC-to-SCSI bridge I2C management interface. Therefore, if a user wishes to set the library back to factory defaults or if the library management firmware detects a replacement FC-to-SCSI bridge that already contains security information from another library, the library management firmware may clear that security information. The FC-to-SCSI bridge security can then be configured with a series of security configuration requests. A security configuration report command is preferably available over the FC-to-SCSI bridge I2C management interface, so that the library management firmware can read a FC-to-SCSI bridge's current security configuration.
Preferably, if a bridge detects security configuration problem such as LUN mismatches, an invalid security configuration request, or if on power up a bridge controller issues an alert that it has been changed and needs reconfiguring, the bridge preferably sends a security configuration status alert to the RMC.
Preferably, partition IDs and the library controller partition LUNs are persistent, even if a user deletes a partition. To that end, a partition ID may be identical to the partition LUN on the library controller. For example, if a user configured partitions 0, 1 and 2 and then later deleted partition 0, then partitions 1 and 2 should still exist and should still be accessed via LUNs 1 and 2 on the library controller. Therefore, when a partition is deleted the remaining library controller partition LUNs are not renumbered in the security look-up table as such reordering could mean that the library changer device would appear as different SCSI devices to server operating systems. When a partition is created the next available partition number, starting from 0, is used, so in the above example, the next partition created will preferably be assigned the partition number 0 and will preferably be addressed on LUN-0.
In an alternative embodiment, the library management firmware updates the entire security look-up table for all attached FC-to-SCSI bridges when any security configuration change is made by a user. In this alternative embodiment, the security configuration request at step 601 of
The present invention may be used for other types of storage bridges, for example iSCSI-to-SCSI bridges. In such a system and method, the iSCSI equivalent of FC-WWNs, such as iSCSI names, are preferably used to authenticate initiators onto secured partition LUNs.

Estimated birth date: Feb., 2011 If you are interested in Pedro, please contact FOSTER PARENT: Maribel at 786-393-0025 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Pedro is an adorable, sweet, playful and very smart teenager looking for a home to call his own. He was born at an abandoned house with two sisters. The two sisters found homes and he was left all alone. He adores people and will follow you around. When he was still at the abandoned home, he figured out that the person who was feeding him was doing her laundry on the other side of the block and started to go over to her car, hoping to be taken home. He is FIV+ but completely healthy with a beautiful, shiny coat and bright, gorgeous green eyes. He loves to play and will give gentle love bites, wrapping his paws around your hands wanting you to stay with him. He is precious and will bring so much joy and laughter into the life of the lucky human who gives him a chance. He is used to other cats and likes to play with them. You can see more of Predo in these two videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfATNsz0tOI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12w0Mj4dq8 To adopt Pedro please contact Maribel at 786-393-0025 or email@example.com. One note regarding FIV...I have two FIV cats who have lived with me for 14 and 9 yrs. and have had FIV since I got them. They have always remained healthy and continue to do fine. FIV felines can live normal lives - particularly if they have loving homes where they are assured of shelter, clean water, good food and lots of love. An ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE can be downloaded by entering our website www.thecatnetwork.org and sending to foster parent. The Cat Network does not have a shelter; all of our cats/kittens are in foster homes in South Florida. Our adoption fee is $75 for cats that are not microchipped, and $85 for microchipped cats, which includes deworming, age appropriate vaccination, and testing for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Note: ADOPTION FEE for PUREBRED type cats, with or without papers, ranges from $75 - $250, and is determined by the foster parent. These cats are designated with "Higher adoption fee may apply" on their web listing. All kittens and cats 3 months and older have been spayed or neutered; many of the younger kittens will be sterilized prior to adoption as well.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hotelier remembered us and welcomed us in a pleasant manner. The room was light and had everything we needed. Good breakfast.
Very nice couple and breakfast lovely. However in terms of the room, you 'd never have a hotel like this in the UK for normal guest just DHSS hostel type place.
Quiet location Directions were not so good, it was not as close to the ferry port as I thought
Nothing It needed a complete overhaul - the rooms were shabby the bathrooms appalling. The noises from other guests and the communal toilet and water system all through the night (which appeared be be immediately adjacent to our room) meant that sleep was impossible. Glad to leave.
The proprietors were very friendly. Putting an extra bed in the room was no trouble. It was very cheap! It was in need of serious redecoration. The photo of the hotel on the website bore very little (if any) relationship to the actual hotel!
Quiet location but near local amenities None
The room was on the ground floor and all on the flat. Nothing
Nice clean light room with a beautiful view, in a lovely old French village, a few doors from the tourist office and a pleasant walk to the beach/sea and Carteret harbour. In October it was very quiet and there weren't places open in the evening to eat except the hotel itself, or down in Carteret. The food and service at the hotel was great, though can't really been done on the cheap. There is a supermarket in the village for food, however.
Perfect place for overnight stop before or after a ferry crossing, excellent resteraunt with good value menu, private car park with lovely garden and swings at the back of the hotel. Very friendly host and immaculate bathroom, bedding etc. Would definately stop again. Should just say it is in the town and not by the beach.
A pleasant hotel with basic rooms but very clean. Good shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. Free wi-fi and good breakfast. Location ok but Carteret is where the most shops restaurants etc are
Romantic idyll.
everything our group was separated (2 rooms in the main building 1 in the annex) the main facilities being in the main building.
The situation in a quiet location overlooking the estuary was delightful. It only took forty minutes from Cherbourg, on easy quiet roads. Food was of a high standard, but note that dinner is not served on Mondays, but can be obtained at sister hotel a mile away. Room pleasant and very comfortable.
Lovely room with great view (harbour room). Extremely comfortable and friendly hotel. If staying for more than a couple of nights, the menu was limited, however there are other restaurants around the vacinity if you go out. Wine at this hotel was quite pricey.
A small hotel giving good personal service
Lovely location,tastefully furnished.
Location was beautiful and relaxing. Staff is friendly and helpful. Being charged for breakfast automatically when we did not use the service. Only stairs to get to 2nd floor.
Very comfortable room, clean and helpful, friendly staff
Very attentive staff. Excellent food. Vg location None
Good Food
We loved the quietness, the beautiful garden and the comfort of the bedroom.
Pleasant position, unobtrusive staff, clean environment
Quiet location, near to the ferry terminal (Cherburg) Breakfast buffet was not up to that usually provided in a 3star hotel in this region of France.
Hotel was unware of booking because the booking was made on the same day.
A very clean comfortable hotel within 30 k of Cherbourg - very handy for the ferries. The local area is lovely and the beaches further south are great. The hotel does not do evening meals - but does a French breakfast for €10 per head. Many of the local restaurants are closed on a Sunday evening!
Good breakfast, nice room
Very charming hotel! Stayed in the lower priced category which was a detached, old cottage with a huge beam and other original features. Breakfast was in an elegant dining room and served on best porcelain and silver coffee pot. Beach nearby was beautiful, as was the surrounding countryside. Madame was the perfect hostess and made us feel very welcome. She also recommended an excellent restaurant where we had a fabulous meal. We shall definitely consider staying there again and maybe try one of the elegant rooms in the main chateau building.
The hotel was very convenient for Cherbourg to be able to catch the ferry early in the morning. The building and grounds were lovely.
The beautiful bedroom/en-suite which was like a one roomed gatehouse, the chateau, gardens and river walk were delightful. This hotel only does breakfast (continental) and only starts serving at 8.30; we then only had an hour to check out and drive 25 miles to Cherbourg for the ferry.Two restaurantes about 3 miles away so you have to drive to eat.
it's a beautifully located Chteau, with a lovely garden, spacious,nicely decorated rooms.

Georges-François-Xavier-Marie Grente (5 May 1872 – 5 May 1959) was a French Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Le Mans from 1918 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1953 by Pope Pius XII.
Georges Grente was born in Percy, Coutances, and studied at the University of Paris School of Law, Major Seminary of Coutances, and Catholic Institute of Paris. He was ordained to the priesthood on 29 June 1895, and then taught at the minor seminary in Mortain until 1903.
Grente was director of the diocesan College of Saint Louis from 1903 to 1916, whence he became superior of St. Paul Institute in Cherbourg. He was made an honorary canon of the cathedral chapter of Coutances in 1917.
On 30 January 1918, Grente was appointed Bishop of Le Mans by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 17 April from Cardinal Louis-Ernest Dubois, with Bishops Claude Bardel and Joseph Guérard serving as co-consecrators. He was given the title of Assistant at Pontifical Throne on 18 January 1933, and personal title of "Archbishop" in March 1943. During World War II, Grente worked in the French resistance movement[1].
Pope Pius XII created him Cardinal Priest of S. Bernardo alle Terme in the consistory of 12 January 1953. Despite speculation that his poor health would prevent him from participating[2], Grente was one of the cardinal electors in the 1958 papal conclave, which selected Pope John XXIII. A member of the Académie française, he was in close correspondence with Charles de Gaulle as well. It was in a letter to Grente that de Gaulle made his famous distinction between la France chrétienne and la république läique.
The Cardinal died in Le Mans, on his 87th birthday, and was buried in the Cathedral of Le Mans. He had served as the ordinary of that city for over forty years. In 1998, Grente was the posthumous object of an attempt at character assassination by Christian Gury.

Description: The classical novel (and basis for the acclaimed film) now in a new edition Introduction by Kevin Baker The Natural, Bernard Malamud's first novel, published in 1952, is also the first—and some would say still the best—novel ever written about baseball. In it Malamud, usually appreciated for his unerring portrayals of postwar Jewish life, took on very different material—the story of a superbly gifted "natural" at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era—and invested it with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work. Four decades later, Alfred Kazin's comment still holds true: "Malamud has done something which—now that he has done it!—looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball as a popular spectacle to its ordained place in mythology."

BgThang (9) Texas | April 26, 2009
I had a bad experience here. The waitress tried to charge us $54 dollars for 2 pints and a small order of fries which took 50minutes to be delivered. I told the girl this was not right she said yes it was. Luckily the owner was on site and I was able to rectify it with him and he apologies and said the was an error in the system and he was working on getting it fixed. The atmosphere was harsh. A bunch of bright fluorescent lights which reminded me of a supermarket setting. I've heard it has become better. I may try this place again. The beers they have are some locals but they have to make room for there national BMC beers. Do not come here expecting all the area's offerings. The y have a couple live oak taps and a couple of real ale taps, but are lacking (512) and independence taps.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay with our toddler and baby (2yrs and 4mths). The place is totally geared up for families and we will definitely be going back. We stayed in one of the Forest Rooms (Cedar) it had a huge bed, a travel cot and a small bed for our toddler. It was a little cramped but it didn't really matter as we barely spent any time in the room. The crèche (The Den) was great, we pre-booked sessions for the kids and it was great knowing they were in safe hands and only minutes away. Lucy in particular was fantastic looking after them and was always smiling and full of energy. It was the shame the weather wasn't great as the The Den has a play area outside with lots of toys and a trampoline. We really enjoyed the spa while we were there. My husband used the gym and although it wasn't very big it had all the key gym equipment that you need. I chose to use the spa while the kids where in The Den. The Canadian hot tub outside was great. The steam room wasn't working when we stayed but a notice on the door said we could use the Rasul room which had a steam room and I did this, I think the steam room was fixed on the last day of our stay. The sauna was working fine as was the Jacuzzi. Unfortunately we didn't have good weather when we were there but that didn't stop us having a good stay. We managed to visit Peppa Pig World which was only 20mins away. We ate in every night and used the baby listening service. We could choose where we ate too, so most of the time we chose to eat in the lounge rather than the restaurant. Mainly as we still had our baby with us so we felt a bit more relaxed in case he starting crying, but also as it was so chilled out. The food was ok/good. My only negative would be that it wasn't always consistent. We ordered the same food on different days and there would be differences. My chicken on one day was a bit burnt underneath (though I ate it and didn't complain, maybe I should have said something with hindsight). I think the food and execution of it could be improved from ok/good to very good. The breakfasts were good and you had a great choice. There was a buffet style table laid out with cereals, pastries, fruit and muffins and then you could also order a cooked breakfast. The staff make this hotel special from Ben on reception, Nicola and Sarah in the restaurant and Lucy in the crèche. Steve the manager was always around and made sure we were ok and always had time for a quick chat/hello. Thoughtful touches throughout the hotel were appreciated, like access to toys everywhere without feeling cluttered, spare sheet for the cot, childrens books in the room and Annabel Karmel snacks. The hotel is still being refurbished and work is now coming to an end. We didn't feel like the refurbishment caused us any disruption. I would like to see what it will look like when it is finished so I have an excuse to go back.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to New Park Manor, a luxury family and dog friendly spa hotel in the New Forest. Relax in our spa, play croquet on the lawn, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace or some family time in our gardens. New Park Manor offers the perfect destination for anyone wishing to explore and appreciate the unique mosaic of woodland, heathland and wetland that comprise the ancient landscape of the New Forest. The New Forest, Britain's most popular national park, was created by William the Conqueror in 1079 as a royal hunting area. In 1611, King Charles II chose New Park Manor as his favourite hunting lodge and his royal coat of arms is still displayed prominently above the fireplace in our award-winning Stag Restaurant. New Park Manor was carefully adapted for use as a country house hotel with 25 bedrooms and opened in 1970. Interesting details such as acorns and oak leaf patterned doors and original furniture and fireplaces can still be seen throughout the building. These commemorate the debt owed by King Charles to the oak tree which hid him from Cromwell's men on his escape to France in 1651. Today, New Park Manor is a beautiful, stylish country hotel, where the traditions of days gone by still live on and many original features can still be seen around the hotel. Bedrooms range from the splendor of our Muntjac our signature Family Suite to the contemporary style of our Forest rooms. Over recent years, our facilities have expanded to include a heated outdoor pool, croquet lawn, and our award-winning Spa which included a heated indoor pool and outdoor Canadian hot tub overlooking the New Forest. ... more less

text: Elliott NossThank you, Operator. With me is Michael Cooperman our Chief Financial Officer. I'll begin today with a brief overview of the financial and operational highlights for the quarter. Mike will then review our financial results in more detail. Then I will return with some concluding comments before opening the call up to questions. Q1 was another solid quarter for Tucows and our results again, underscore the growth consistency and reliability in our business. We saw growth across all the areas of our business and generated strong cash flow from operations. We recorded our 8th consecutive quarter of record revenue at $27.5 million, up 22% from the same quarter of last year. Cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million, up significantly, from $0.8 million for Q1 last year. While already a strong quarter, I will note that Q1 did benefit from items that while typical in the course of a year stand out in the course of a quarter. An unusually high level of sales of gems from our domain portfolio and marketing funds we receive from domain registries that were front-end loaded. Importantly, Q1 was quarter in which you can really see the leverage in our business. Growth in revenue and gross margin far exceeded growth and operating expenses. Typically, we look, for at least $0.50 of every of incremental dollar in billed gross margin to drop to the bottom line. This year, our leverage was much better. Before I walk through more highlights of the quarter, I will note, that we changed the way in which we classify the different sources of revenue in our disclosure. Beginning this quarter, we are breaking up revenue and gross margin by wholesale, retail, and portfolio. We believe this realignment better reflects the manner in which revenue is generated and the way in which management currently assesses the business.

Welcome to the fourth stop on the Bitter Greens Blog Tour. Today I'm bringing you a guest post by the lovely author of Bitter Greens, Kate Forsyth. Bitter Greens is a spectacular novel and there will be a link to my review below. Today Kate will be talking about why she decided to give her Rapunzel red hair. So here we go, over to Kate:
A year or two ago, I was having lunch with the UK writer Philip Ardagh and telling him about the book I was then researching and writing - BITTER GREENS, a retelling of the 'Rapunzel' fairy tale.
'Is your Rapunzel a blondie or a foxy?' he wanted to know.
'Foxy,' I said at once. I knew just what he meant. Many paintings of Rapunzel have the maiden in the tower with beautiful flowing red hair, and that was how I imagined my heroine to look.
Red hair runs through my novel like a glittering thread. Margherita, my maiden in the tower, has red-gold. So too does the witch who imprisons her. She is a courtesan and muse to the famous Venetian artist Tiziano Veceill (Titian), who painted a particular shade of red-gold hair so often that it is now called 'Titian hair'.
Here are thirteen fascinating facts I found out about red hair while researching BITTER GREENS:
1. Red hair is a recessive gene, which means both parents must carry the gene in order to have a child with red hair. Recessive traits often come in pairs, which means redheads are more likely to be left-handed than people born with another hair colour. (My heroine Margarita is left-handed)
2. It is the rarest of colours. Only 1-2% of the entire world's population have red hair.
3. Scotland has the highest percentage of redheads in the world at 13%.
4. Some say Adam, the first man, had red hair since the Hebrew word 'adom' means red.
5. In Ancient Egypt, redheads were buried alive as sacrifices to the god Osiris.
6. The ancient Greeks believed redheads would turn into vampires when they died.
7. In ancient Rome, redheaded slaves were worth more than slaves with any other hair colour.
8. During the witch hunts of the 16th and 17th centuries (the times in which my novel is set), many women were burned at the stake for no other reason that having red hair.
9. Hitler is said to have banned the marriage of redheads
10. Red hair rarely turns grey, and redheads bruise more easily and require greater amounts of anaesthesia
11. Red hair is thicker than any other hair, but they have fewer individual hairs. A blonde has approximately 140,000 hairs on their head; redheads only 90,000.
12. So many people find redheads irresistibly sexy that a term 'rutiluphilia' has been coined to describe a red hair fetish.
13. On the opposite scale, so many people have an irrational fear and loathing of redheads that the term 'ginger phobia' has entered our lexicon. There has even been a case of murder with the only motive being the murderer's hatred of red hair.
That's one really interesting post, Thank you Kate! I actually love some of these facts.
About the Book:
Bitter Greens
Release Date: 25th February 2013
Publisher: Allison and Busby
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 542
Synopsis: Bitter Greens is an historical novel for adults which interweaves the Rapunzel fairytale with the true story of Charlotte-Rose de la Force, a 17th century French writer who wrote the version of the fairytale we know best, while locked away in a convent by the Sun King, Louis XIV, for her bold and unconventional views on love and society.
Charlotte-Rose has scandalized the court by falling passionately in love with a young nobleman, then dressing up as a dancing bear to rescue him from imprisonment. Banished to a strict Benedictine convent by the king, she remembers her life and loves at the magnificent and corrupt court of Versailles. Charlotte-Rose is filled at despair at her imprisonment, but she is comforted by an old nun, the apothicairesse at the convent, Sœur Seraphina, who tells her the secret history of a young girl in 16th century Venice, who is sold by her parents for a handful of bitter greens …
Margherita's parents love her dearly but the penalty for stealing in Venice in the late 16th century is cruel, and so they agree to give up their child at the age of seven to Selena, a courtesan whose walled garden is famous for its herbs and flowers. Selena is the famous red-haired muse of the artist Titian, first painted by him in 1513 and still inspiring him at the time of his death, sixty-one years later. Called La Strega Bella, Selena is at the centre of Renaissance life in Venice, a world of beauty and danger, seduction and betrayal, love and superstition. Selena is determined to never surrender the power that her beauty gives her, and so she turns to black magic and a spell that requires the blood of a virgin. Yet in the decadent world of Renaissance Italy, where courtesans supped with kings, where convents were hotbeds of illicit love, and where a girl's virginity was sold many times over, how was Selena to ensure her spell would work, not just once, but over and over again? The only way was to build a tower without door or stairs, deep in the forest … and this is where she locks Margherita at the age of twelve. As Margherita grows into womanhood, she sings in the hope someone will hear her. One day, a young man does and climbs her rope of hair into the tower … and so begins a beautiful love story that retells one of the world's most mysterious and enduring fairytales.
The story of Margherita's escape from the tower is interwoven with flashbacks that recount Charlotte-Rose's tragic childhood and her scandalous life at the Sun King's glittering court, and also the dark and tragic story of the courtesan Selena and how she came to be Titian's muse. Three women, three lives, three stories, all braided together to create a compelling story of desire, obsession, black magic, and the redemptive power of love.

F2 beyond departments
Originally designed for the governmental departments, the F2 model and software have now been successfully deployed in agencies as well as municipalities.
For departments, key functionality is generic functionality like parliamentary correspondence with approvals, requests and meetings. For agencies and municipalities it is essential, that F2 can support end-to-end processes including self-service.
Because standard F2 can be set up to support generic as well as mission critical processes without programming, the F2 model and software are now being implemented as a complete digital platform for still broader use.
An example is "Council-as-a-Service", which is now being implemented in the UK.
Next step local government: Council-as-a-Service
Based in standard F2 and experiences with Danish municipalities, cBrain is working to further develop a new digital production platform for local government called Council-as-a-Service (Caas).
Many local authorities,are looking to reduce costs while improving service quality for residents.
To do this the council needs first to be able to understand the individual needs of residents, and then streamline internal processes and be in control of what needs doing and when.
A challenge many municipalities and councils face are an environment with multiple line of business applications, each with its own data store and user interface.
CaaS offers the council an opportunity to create a shared digital archive where data is available to whoever should be able to see it – whether that's a council leader, a member of staff, or the resident.
By re-using the Danish F2 model for digital public administration, CaaS ensures that residents, directors and employees can get mobile access to council data using smartphones or tablets.
Residents can start a process online, and stay updated on how the council handles their case. Councils can reduce the number of business applications needed, and simplify their business processes. And employees get more done each day, without having to keep multiple systems in synch.
Council-as-a-Service is a complete production platform for council work. It supports council employees and residents by providing a shared database holding all council data.
The CaaS platform is enabled by two layers: the core Foundation Layer that supports base processes like communication, generic case processing, document and records management; and the extensible Process Layer that supports specialized council processes, self-service and integration with external systems through a set of open APIs.
CaaS allows residents and authorities to work together online, in realtime on shared documents and cases, while reducing the number of internal business systems needed to support the resident.
The general F2 layer supports generic processes including case management, knowledge sharing, collaboration, correspondence management, document and records management.
Based on configuration, related to case types and based on the F2 checklist process case type specific processes can be set up and supported, including support for self-service and integration for other systems based on REST-API's.
All case processing data, generic as well as case type specific, are stored in the F2 database, and all user interaction is based on the Email-alike user interface called the knowledge worker desktop.

President Barack Obama could leave office with the most aggressive, far-reaching environmental legacy of any previous occupant of the White House. Yet it is very likely that not a single major environmental law will have passed during his two terms in Washington.
Instead, Obama has turned to the vast reach of the Clean Air Act of 1970, which some legal experts call the most powerful environmental law in the world. Faced with a Congress that has shut down his attempts to push through an environmental agenda, Obama is using the authority of the act passed at the birth of the environmental movement to issue a series of landmark regulations on air pollution, from soot to smog, to mercury and planet-warming carbon dioxide.
The Supreme Court could still overturn much of Obama's environmental legacy, although the justices so far have upheld the regulations in three significant cases. More challenges are expected, the most recent of which was taken up by the court on Tuesday. The act, however, was designed by lawmakers in a Democratic-controlled Congress to give the Environmental Protection Agency, which was created at the same time, great flexibility in its interpretation of the law.
"It's the granddaddy of public health and environmental legislation," said Paul Billings, a vice president of the American Lung Association. "It empowers the EPA and states to be bold and creative."
Gina McCarthy, the EPA administrator, credits the act for the authority Obama claims in setting environmental policy. "The administration is relying very heavily on this tool that Congress provided us 44 years ago," she said.
Taken together, the Clean Air Act regulations issued during the Obama administration have led to the creation of America's first national policy to combat global warming, a fundamental reshaping of major sectors of the economy - specifically auto manufacturing and electric utilities - and could shut down existing coal-fired power plants, freeze construction of new coal plants and ultimately end demand for the nation's most polluting fuel.
Obama's most recent regulation, proposed on Wednesday, would curb emissions of ozone, a smog-causing pollutant linked to asthma, heart disease and premature death. The EPA estimates that by 2025 the new regulation would prevent from 320,000 to 960,000 asthma attacks in children, and from 330,000 to 1 million missed school days.
But it would come with a high cost to industry; the EPA estimates losses would be $US3.9 billion ($4.6 billion) in 2025 alone. Over time, the regulation would lower the standard threshold of ozone pollution from 75 parts per billion to a range of 65 to 70 parts per billion.
As a result, those industries threatened by the new rules are banding together to fight back with a wave of lawsuits.
"They have consistently pushed the limits of congressional intent in what the Clean Air Act required," Cal Dooley, president of the American Chemistry Council, which lobbies for chemical manufacturers, said of the administration. "And we'll continue to see them do that."
Officials at the Edison Electric Institute, which lobbies for privately owned electric utilities, this week called the regulations a "train wreck" that is forcing the industry to dramatically reshape how it does business.
"He'll have dozens of these rules under his watch," Quin Shea, vice president of the institute, said of the president.
The industry most worried by the rules is coal. Burning coal for electricity is the chief cause of the soot, smog, greenhouse-gas emissions and other pollutants directly targeted by Obama's regulations.
"The Clean Air Act is a direct threat," said Hal Quinn, president of the National Mining Association. "They're trying to flex their muscles as much as they can. We are looking at a $US2 trillion drag on the economy from these regulations."
