This disclosure relates generally to circular queues, and in particular but not exclusively, relates to determining whether a circular queue is empty or full.
A packet flow entering a network is routed from one router to the next until the packet flow reaches its destination. At any given time, there may be many packet flows traversing the network between many different sources and destinations. To keep track of the packet flows, each router may establish a logical queue for each packet flow the router is forwarding. The logical queue is a logical construct established within software of the router to maintain order and keep track of the individual packets of each packet flow.
If the rate of packets arriving at a router along a flow exceeds the rate of packets departing the router along the flow, the packets are temporarily buffered in a queue within the router. Due to memory constraints, often the temporarily buffered packets are enqueued into a circular queue having a limited number of slots for buffering the packets. As each packet arrives at the router it is enqueued into an available slot of the circular queue following the last enqueued slot. As each packet departs the router it is dequeued thereby generating a new available slot. However, if the packet arrival rate is greater than the packet departure rate for an extended period of time, the circular queue can become full, resulting in an overflow condition where newly arriving packets overwrite pending packets that have not yet been dequeued for departure. Therefore it is critical to track and prevent overflow conditions.
Often, pointers are used to keep track of the last enqueued slot ("LES") and the current dequeue slot ("CDS"). As packets arrive and depart the circular queue, one or more LES pointers and a CDS pointer migrate along the circular queue until they reach the end of the circular queue. Once a pointer reaches the last slot of the circular queue, it wraps back to the first slot and continues therefrom.
Due to the wrapping nature of circular queues, it is important to determine whether a LES pointer has wrapped the circular queue and an overflow condition is imminently approaching or whether the CDS pointer has simply passed the LES pointer and the circular queue is empty. Thus, preventing overflow conditions requires careful monitoring of wrapping events.
Determining whether a circular queue is empty presents another issue. One method to determine whether a circular queue is empty is to maintain an enqueue count and a dequeue count for each logical queue buffered in a circular queue. Each time an packet arriving at the router along a packet flow is enqueued into the circular queue its enqueue count in incremented. Similarly, each time a packet from a logical queue is dequeued from the circular queue for departure, its dequeue count is incremented. Taking the difference between the enqueue count and the dequeue count can determine whether the particular logical queue buffered in the circular queue is empty.
However, maintaining accurate enqueue counts and dequeue counts can be difficult in high-speed networks, such as optical carrier ("OC") networks. If fact, in some high-speed networks, the writes to memory to update the dequeue count can lag behind the actual dequeue count by as many as 16 slots.
Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.
Embodiments of a system and method for determining whether a circular queue is empty or full are described herein. In the following description numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In ohter instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
Throughout this specification, several terms of art are used. These terms are to take on their ordinary meaning in the art from which they come, unless specifically defined herein or the context of their use would clearly suggest otherwise. "Packet flow" is defined herein as a flow of related packets, cells, frames, or otherwise, within a network and have a common source and destination.
In short, embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for determining whether a circular queue is empty or full (imminent overflow condition). In one embodiment, two checks are executed to determine whether the circular queue is empty and one check is executed to determine whether the circular queue is full. In one embodiment, the check for determining whether the circular queue is full is identical to one of the two checks for determining whether the circular queue is empty. In this embodiment, the two identical checks elude to the empty state or the full state of the circular queue based on the context in which the two identical checks are performed. In one context, the identical check is performed after enqueuing a queue element into the circular queue. In the other context, the identical check is performed after dequeuing a queue element from the circular queue. These and other embodiments are described in detail below.
Routers 105 route packet flows through network 100 from a source to a destination. A packet flow may traverse several routers 10S before reaching its final destination. For example, router 105A is illustrated as routing two packet flows F1 and F2. Each packet flow traversing router 105A includes an inflow into router 105A and an outflow out of router 105A. As illustrated, packet flow F1 includes inflow IF1 and outflow OF1, and packet flow F2 includes inflow IF2 and outflow OF2. Inflows may arrive at router 105A on separate network links, such as inflows IF1 and IF2 or multiple packet flows may arrive at router 105 on a single network link. Similarly, outflows may depart router 105 on different network links or outflows may depart from router 105 on a single network link, such as outflows OF1 and OF2.
The operation of logical queues 200 are described in connection with logical queue 200A; however, logical queue 200B operates in a similar manner. Each time a packet is received by router 105A at inflow IF1, router 105A enqueues the packet at enqueue arrow 205 into logical queue 200A. For example, suppose packet P1 is the first packet received by router 105A from packet flow F1. Packet P1 is enqueued at enqueue arrow 205 into logical queue 200A and buffered therein until router 105A is ready to dequeue packet P1 at a dequeue arrow 210 for transmission along outflow OF 1. If packet P2 arrives along inflow IF1 prior to router 105A dequeuing packet P1, packet P2 is enqueued, added to logical queue 200A, and scheduled into logical queue 200A logically behind packet P1. If the arrival rate of packets along inflow IF1 is greater than the departure rate of packets along outflow OF1, then the number of pending packets within logical queue 200A will grow, until a maximum number is reached. In one embodiment, router 105A will commence statistical packet dropping according to a weighted random early detection ("WRED") as logical queue 200A approaches full capacity.
When router 105A is ready to dequeue packet P1, packet P1 is removed from logical queue 200A and transmitted along outflow OF1. Upon dequeuing packet P1 at dequeue arrow 210, the remaining pending packets shift forward making room for a new packet to be enqueued into logical queue 200A and packet P2 become the next packet to be dequeued for transmission along outflow OF1. Thus, in one embodiment, logical queue 200A is a first-in-first-out ("FIFO") logical queue.
To track the number of packets pending within logical queue 200A (and logical queue 200B), enqueue and dequeue counters are maintained. An enqueue counter 220 is incremented each time a packet is enqueued into logical queue 200A. Correspondingly, a dequeue counter 230 is incremented each time a packet is dequeued from logical queue 200A. Subtracting the dequeue count of dequeue counter 230 from the enqueue count of enqueue counter 220 gives the number of packets of flow F1 currently buffered within logical queue 200A.
The illustrated embodiment of circular queue 300 buffers queue elements corresponding to both logical queues 200A and 200B. However, embodiments of the present invention include circular queues that buffer queue elements from only a single logical queue (i.e., a single packet flow) or from a plurality of logical queues. The queue elements of circular queue 300 may be enqueued into circular queue 300 using various different enqueuing schemes. Similarly, the queue elements of circular queue 300 may be dequeued using various different dequeue schemes. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the particular enqueuing and dequeuing schemes implemented in connection therewith.
In one embodiment, a pre-sort deficit round robin ("DRR") queuing scheme may be implemented to determine the order of the queue elements pending within circular queue 300. Under the pre-sort DRR queuing scheme, ordering of the queue elements into circular queue 300 is dependent upon a number of factors including, arrival time of a packet along packet flows F1 and F2, the size of each packet, a DRR quantum, an accumulated deficit for each logical queue 200A and 200B, and a relative priority or weight given to each logical queue 200A and 200B. An intimate understanding of the pre-sort DRR queuing scheme is not necessary to understanding embodiments of the present invention. It is sufficient to say that the queue elements corresponding to logical queues 200A and 200B are efficiently organized into slots S1 through SN according to the pre-sort DRR queuing scheme to ensure fairness is maintained between packet flow F1 and F2. In other words, throughput bandwidth of router 105A is equitably shared between packet flows F1 and F2.
As can been seen from
In contrast, a LES is the current slot to which a logical queue (e.g., logical queue 200A or 200B) is enqueuing a queue element. Since, in the illustrated embodiment there are two logical queues 200A and 200B, two corresponding LES pointers 410 and 415 designate two LESs. LES pointer 410 designates slot S3, indicating that the last queue element of logical queue 200A to be enqueued was queue element P2 in slot S3. Similarly, LES pointer 415 designates slot SN, indicating that the last queue element of logical queue 200B to be enqueued was queue element PX in slot SN. Depending upon the situation, it is possible that LES pointer 410 and LES pointer 415 could designate the same slot at a given instant.
As queue elements corresponding to logical queue 200A and 200B are enqueued into circular queue 300, LES pointers 410 and 415 will advance from one slot to the next dependent upon the particular enqueuing scheme being implemented (e.g., pre-sort DRR) and the size of the packets arriving along their respective inflows IF1 and IF2. Similarly, as router 105A dequeues the queue elements from circular queue 300 in preparation of transmitting packets along outflows OF1 and OF2, CDS pointer 405 will advance from one slot to the next. While CDS pointer 405 will increment one slot at a time, LES pointer 410 and 415 may skip slots, if it is determined that the particular logical queues 200A and 200B have not accumulated sufficient credit to enqueue a queue element to a given slot. Thus, LES pointers 410 and 415 are specific to each packet flow F1 and F2 while CDS pointer 405 is a global pointer for all packet flows.
As mentioned above, router 105A may not track whether CDS pointer 405 and LES pointers 410 and 415 have wrapped circular queue 300, since the only information available to router 105A is CDSN and LESN. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention use three checks that are repeatedly executed at specific times to determine whether logical queues 200A and 200B are empty or full.
In a decision block 710, a check #1 is executed to determine whether logical queue(i) is empty.
Check #1 determines whether the enqueue count of logical queue(i) is equivalent to the dequeue count of logical queue(i). The enqueue count and the dequeue count are maintained by an enqueue counter and a dequeue counter, such as enqueue counter 220 and dequeue counter 230, illustrated in
In this scenario where logical queue(i) is empty, process 700 continues to a process block 715. In process block 715, LES pointer(i) 805 is updated to designate the same slot as CDS pointer 405 (e.g., slot S5).
Returning to
In decision block 720, a check #2 is executed to determine whether logical queue(i) is empty, notwithstanding a lagging dequeue counter.
Check #2 is effective at the boundaries of circular queue 300, as well. For example, in a scenario where M=4, LES pointer(i) 805 designates slot SN, and CDS pointer 405 designates slot S2, check #2 would be true since (CDSN−LESN)mod N would equal 2, which is less than M=4. Thus, check #2 accounts for the wrapping boundary conditions.
If check #2 is true, then logical queue(i) is empty and the dequeue counter is lagging. In this case, process 700 continues to a process block 725. In process block 725, since logical queue(i) has been determined to be empty, LES pointer(i) 805 is updated to designate the same slot as CDR pointer 405.
In a process block 730, router 105A determines the next slot into which the next packet received corresponding to logical queue(i) may be enqueued. This determination is based upon the particular scheduling scheme implemented by router 105A, such as pre-sort DRR queuing. In a process block 735, LES pointer(i) 805 is updated to designate the slot determined in process block 730. Thus, this next slot becomes a new LES, even though a queue element has not yet been enqueued into the new LES.
In a decision block 740, a check #3 is executed to determine whether enqueuing the received packet into the new LES designated by LES pointer(i) 805 would cause an overflow condition.
Check #3 is executed after checks #1 and #2, which determine whether the logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 is empty. If the logical queue(i) was empty, then LES pointer(i) 805 would have been updated to reference the same slot as CDS pointer 405. The only possible intervening event since check #2 was increasing LES pointer(i) 805 to find the correct position for enqueuing the new queue element into circular queue 300. Thus, if LES pointer(i) 805 is less than M slots behind CDS pointer 405 at decision block 740, then logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 must be full.
Therefore, in a process block 745 the new queue element is dropped since enqueuing the new queue element would result in an overflow condition. In a process block 750, the LES pointer(i) 805 is reset to designate its previous value to reflect the fact that the new queue element was not enqueued in the anticipated slot. Rather the LES(i) remains the previous slot designated by LES pointer(i) 805.
In a process block 755, enqueue routine 610 returns to while loop 605. In a process block 760, router 105A performs one or more dequeues. In a process block 765, CDS pointer 405 is incremented by the number of slots dequeued in process block 760. At this point, process 700 loops back to the top of while loop 605 wherein enqueue routine 610 is called again in process block 705.
Returning to decision block 740, if check #3 proves to be false, logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 is not full. In this scenario, process 700 continues to a process block 770. In process block 770, the new queue element is enqueued into the new slot of circular queue 300 designated by the current value of LES pointer(i) 805. After process block 770, process 700 continues as described above from process block 755.
Upon running through process 700 a subsequent time, the outcome of check #2 will have a different meaning than check #3 because of its changing context. The only possible intervening event affecting the values of LES pointer(i) 805 or CDS pointer 405 between executing check #3 and a second execution of check #2 is incrementing CDS pointer 405 in process block 765. Thus, between the first execution of check #3 and the second execution of check #2, logical queue(i) could only have become empty from dequeuing one or more queue elements in process block 760. Put another way, logical queue(i) could not have become full, since queue elements are enqueued at process block 770 into circular queue 300 only if circular queue 300 is determined not full in decision block 740. Thus, if check #2 is true the second time through process 700, then logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 must be empty due to CDS pointer 400 passing LES pointer(i) 805. In contrast, upon executing check #3 for a second time, the only possible intervening event affecting the values of LES pointer(i) 805 or CDS pointer 405 is increasing LES pointer(i) 805 in process block 735. Since no queue elements are dequeued between check #2 and check #3, if check #3 is determined to be true, then logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 must be full because LES pointer(i) 805 has wrapped circular queue 300.
In order for process 700 to properly distinguish between a full logical queue buffered within circular queue 300 and an empty logical queue buffered within circular queue 300, a number of properties should hold true. Property #1 states that, if logical queue(i) is empty, then the enqueue count should equal the dequeue count after M slots have been dequeued. Thus, M should be selected to be equal to or greater than the maximum number of slots that can be dequeued before dequeue counter is updated. Property #1 accounts for a lagging dequeue counter.
A property #2 states that, two consecutive queue elements corresponding to logical queue(i), cannot be enqueued into circular queue 300 more than or equal to M rounds apart, unless logical queue(i) became empty in between. In other words, when scheduling a queue element to be enqueued into circular queue 300, LES pointer(i) 805 should not increase M or more slots. If LES pointer(i) 805 can increase more than M slots in a single pass through process 700, then it is possible for circular queue 300 to overflow without notice. This overflow condition would be possible because LES pointer(i) 805 could jump over the M slots behind CDS pointer 405, thereby failing to trigger a true result for check #3. Thus, to ensure property #2 is maintained, M should be selected based on a maximum transmission unit ("MTU") of network 100 and the smallest quantum of the scheduling scheme executed, such that at least one queue element can be enqueued into circular queue 300 every M slots.
A property #3 states that, if ENQ.CNT.!=DEQ.CNT. (check #1 is false) and CDS≦LES(i)≦CDS+N−M, which is the normal state of operation where circular queue 300 is neither full nor empty, then (CDSN−LESN (i))mod N<M (check #2 and #3) is always false. The following is a proof of property #3:
A Property #4 states that, if ENQ.CNT.!=DEQ.CNT. (check #1 is false) and CDS>LES(i)>CDS−M, then logical queue(i) of circular queue 300 is empty and (CDSN−LESN (i))mod N<M (check #2 and check #3) is always true. The following is a proof of property #4:
A property #5 states that, if ENQ.CNT.!=DEQ.CNT. (check #1 is false) and CDS+N>LES(i)>CDS+N−M, logical queue(i) is full and (CDSN−LESN (i))mod N<M (check #2 and check #3) is always true. The following is a proof of property #5:
The above properties prove that check # 2 and check # 3 in combination with check # 1 correctly identify whether a queue is empty or full.
The elements of router 105A are interconnected as follows. Processing engines 1120 are coupled to network interface 1125 to receive and transmit packet flows F1 and F2 from/to network 100 via network link interfaces 1115. Processing engines 1120 are further coupled to access external memory 1110 via memory controller 1130 and shared internal memory 1135. Memory controller 1130 and shared internal memory 1135 may be coupled to processing engines 1120 via a single bus or multiple buses to minimize delays for external accesses.
Processing engines 1120 may operate in parallel to achieve high data throughput. Typically, to ensure maximum processing power, each of processing engines 1120 process multiple threads and can implement instantaneous context switching between threads. In one embodiment, processing engines 1120 are pipelined and operate on one or more packet flows concurrently. In one embodiment, one or more circular queues 300 are maintained within shared internal memory 1135 for enqueuing and dequeuing queue elements thereto/therefrom. In one embodiment, one or more circular queues 300 are maintained within external memory 1110 for enqueuing and dequeuing queue elements thereto/therefrom.
It should be appreciated that various other elements of router 105A have been excluded from

Whether you are giving feedback or receiving it, does the word itself just make you want to run the other way? I've heard this response more than once and I myself was once quite adverse to both giving and receiving it. I thought it meant I was being criticized and took it to mean I did something wrong and in some way was doing a poor job. But if we think about the gymnast training for the Olympics or the NFL player working towards the Super Bowl or the dancer trying to get in to the New York City Ballet, are they doing something wrong? These people train year after year with coaches who are inches from their ear with guess what…feedback! They would get no where without this constant stream of information moving them towards greater and stronger improvements. What if we saw feedback as if we were training for the Gold in our workplace? What if we thought of it as an opportunity to get better at our skills and attitudes? In other words, what if we ran towards it rather than away from it? Continue reading
Confronting Without Conflict: A workplace communication tool
After recently re-reading Jim Collin's book From Good to Great, I was once again reminded that the ability to disagree without fighting or tension, is both an art and one of the most useful skills we can have for great communication at work.
Without a doubt, we will have differences of opinions and frankly, we want differences of opinions from which to adopt and cull the best solutions. But how do you express these differences without the extra baggage of angst, stress, and negativity that so often get in the way of making ourselves understood?
What do these words mean?
We can understand the word confront to simply mean laying out what you see. In other words, here are the facts. It comes with no extra baggage, but merely stating a point of view or position in a particular situation. If we expressed ourselves in this type of easy manner our communication at work would be hugely more successful. But often times we aren't that easy and instead we might be more apt to create conflict.
You may have noticed I said that we "create conflict" as opposed to conflict happening to us or being a fact of life. Continue reading
Communication at Work: Authenticity is Key
You're at work and the person you're talking to continues to text away without a stop. How do you respond authentically to this situation? You could just stop talking as a hint to the person to stop texting or tell them that you'll wait until they're done.
But why not talk about what's going on? Why not have a quick open conversation so that both people get clarity and mutual understanding about what's happening and then decide how to proceed?
If we want to have effective communication at work and have mutual understanding, then being authentic is essential.
What is being authentic?
It's a fundamental support tool for helping your staff understand goals, intentions, and the strategies for achieving those goals. It's the great confusion buster because when we say what we think and what we know, we always create greater clarity. Continue reading
Case Study – From High Turnover to Raving Fans
Sandra owns several movie theaters in the Northeast region of the US. When we first started working together, her staff turnover was high and she described her customer service as atrocious. Her staff was angry, frustrated, and not working for the welfare of the business. They basically modeled themselves after Sandra who herself was angry, frustrated, and spoke to the staff with a sharp tongue. The going line amongst the staff was, "Whatever you do, don't tell Sandra." The reason was that no matter what you would tell her, she would come back aggressively angry.
Consulting Process
After Sandra and I worked together for several months, she clearly saw that her anger was actually covering up (1) her lack of trust in her employees; and (2) her ability to manage. She had a general fear of letting go and allowing her staff to take over responsibilities for her business which she began to see was unfounded since they were a capable group of young people.
The result of the work we did together completely changed how she operated. She started by letting go of being angry and instead approached her staff with open-ended, non-accusatory questions to accomplish training and management. She learned to listen to her employees in a new way which led to really hearing what they said instead of just telling them what to do.
She has created warm and respectful relationships with her staff who now will do anything to support her and the business. Whereas before she had a high staff turnover, it's now next to nil and her customers have become her raving fans. They now tell her, "Your prices got me in, but it's your customer service that keeps me coming back."
Conflict Resolution at Work: The Essential First Step
If you Google the phrase Conflict Resolution, you will come up with 7,630,000 entries. That's a lot of people talking about a subject that people want help with. Why?
When we think about the word conflict, we usually see it as an adversarial position. In other words, me against you or you against me and is often attached to a slew of uncomfortable feelings like fear, loss, humiliation, hurt, anger, and pain. When we're at work and think about having a conflict-laden conversation it can feel exhausting and sometimes we become more focused on the conflict than our work, wasting precious time and energy. We perseverate about the situation in our minds and often talk about the issue to everyone except the person we're having the issue with. We're up at two in the morning and get headaches and stomachaches just thinking about it. And for many people, the word conflict is just downright scary. Continue reading
5 Tips for More Effective Communication At Work
We do it all day long. We don't even know we're doing it. We have issues with our communication at work and not even sure why. What's the "it" that we do as easily as breathe? We make assumptions.
Making assumptions in our communication at work creates more havoc than one would imagine simply because we are calling something a "fact" when it is generally far from factual. For example, your co-worker is 20 minutes late for an important meeting that you're holding at a nearby restaurant. You decide his lateness means he doesn't respect you and as you sit waiting you begin to get angry and frustrated. What really happened was that he lost the directions, left his phone in the office, and ran like the dickens to show up for this meeting that was important to him as well. Meanwhile, you're steaming because you thought that his not respecting you was a "fact", when it was just your assumption.
What can you do when your communication at work is less than stellar? Continue reading
Workplace Performance and The Energy of YES!
Did you know that employee well-being has been found to have a direct impact on a company's bottom line?
According to the recent findings from Gallup, when employees have a high degree of ell-being they also have a high degree of engagement at work, resulting in greater workplace performance and less loss of money.
The reason for this is that every day those people come to work more consistently, more often give their best efforts, are more apt to perform at peak level, and show up with enthusiasm for what they're doing. For those employees having a low degree of well-being, the opposite has been found to be true. Gallup estimates that this costs the workforce in the United States more than $300 billion in lost productivity alone.
What underlies a high degree of employee well-being and a high degree of workplace performance? It's what I like to think of as, the energy of YES! The energy of YES is what's behind all creative and successful endeavors and spurs us on to accomplishing great things. Continue reading
Great Communication Leads to Greater Customer Service
At 7 years old, if I got a penny I spent in on bubble gum. If I had a nickel, I would get some M&M's. Money would come to me in drips and drabs until one day…I got a charge account for Jack and Goldie's downstairs candy store. It was clear that business was booming in the sugar industry on Broadway and 204th Street in New York and the dentists were making a fortune on this little girl's teeth.
What made Jack and Goldie's candy store so compelling for me? Certainly it was the sugar. But it also was a place I could go to and be treated fairly and with respect. In other words, they had great customer service…at least where it concerned me.
What makes for great customer service?
It's an interesting question in this day and age of e-commerce, retail stores, online auctions, and probably still, the local lemonade stand. But great customer service, no matter what kind of store format, has one thing in common, which is to support and help the customer get what they want. I certainly got what I wanted at Jack and Goldie's and how they treated me was part of the equation. Continue reading
Gratitude at Work and Beyond
This morning I received an e-mail about an upcoming leadership workshop, which is nothing new. But today, hidden within the promo was this article about gratitude and the idea of using gratitude in the workplace as well as in other areas of our lives. This article was written by Dr. Patricia Wheeler, who is an executive and team coach and Managing Partner in the Levin Group LLC. I was deeply moved by her story about Gratitude, loved her thoughts about using it at work, and thought you might find this useful as well. Read on!
"Despite living a good life, many of us often struggle with what's really good enough, and how can we continue to have even more. And why shouldn't we want more? Doesn't wanting more increase our drive?
Many managers believe they should focus on what's not done, rather than feeling happy and grateful with what is done. Where's the balance between wanting more and being grateful with what we have? Continue reading
Case Study – From Manager Conflicts to a Smooth Running Business
Karen is the co-owner of a Midwest plumbing company and was having challenges with her two most important managers. She felt completely overwhelmed by their lack of ability to work together amicably and didn't see how she could get them to change.
Consulting Process
From our sessions together she realized two things; (1) that she was operating from the fear that if they didn't work out their relationship she would lose one or both, which would lead to negative repercussions for her company. As she saw what was underlying her fear, she also saw how ridiculous that was. Since she was able to manage the company before these two people came on board, she realized that she would be fine if indeed they decided to leave. That was a huge relief and a very powerful perspective for her.
(2) She also realized she could ask them to change how they were behaving and apologize to one another in a sincere and heartfelt manner…which she did.
The fundamental change came from Karen first. Once she adopted the new belief that she would be fine with or without these two managers, she dropped her fear which then freed her to ask her managers to own their actions, apologize, and support one another.
Although they didn't seem open at the time, two weeks later the two managers stepped up to the plate. While Karen was gone for a week, these two people worked together in absolute harmony. This was a first since typically, after being away, she would come back to havoc between these two. This gave Karen the firm foundation that she had been trying to build for months and upon which her business would now run more effectively.

I wore them for 2 minutes and they tore. I quickly sweet them. Then 10 minutes later they ripped again! Photos to follow
Not bad
I ordered these and the taj pants, and I much prefer the taj pants over these. I think it is because these are one size fits all, so they don't fit quite as well. With that said, I got the charcoal colored pants and they are absolutely beautiful. I'll be rocking these this summer for sure. I don't think I'll be using these for yoga- like I had originally planned, but I will certainly be using these as lounge and casual wear. These could even be dressed up a tad with the right shirt and heels. I'm glad I got these, but I won't be buying any of the other colors.
I love the quality of your clothing, but I have ordered a long sleeve shirt and 2 tshirts that weren't true to size way to small I'm a bigger woman Can u please have yoga pants in a larger size as well, although I was able to wear one of the 3 tshirts it was cute alittle larger in the chest area Thank u robin
Hi Robin & thank you for your review/feedback! Our merchandising team has been working on a plus sized clothing line for Sivana Spirit and will be releasing a few items within the next few weeks! This first release will be for a limited number of items but will expand shortly! :) We are also starting a focus group for our plus sized clothing line and if you would like your email to be added to this list, just let us know: email@example.com Have a beautiful day! :) Namaste
Very comfy!
These harem pants are a really comfy material! My one bit of information that I'd pass along is that the stitching in the waistband is not stretchy, so it was a bit of a squeeze getting them on. But they're very comfortable and cute!

This is so, so hard for us to remember. We live in a cause and effect world and so much of what we do in life, predicts the outcome. And goodness knows, I worked so hard to train my kids, tried to teach them the right way to be, spent time counseling them, bringing them to church, and showing them Christ. And so yes, I expected that as adults they should be productive members of this world, attend church faithfully, and be godly followers of Christ.
But then when I think about how I parented and look deeply into myself, I know that I was not faithful in many, many ways. All moms can look back and remember countless times when we failed in our parental duty. And then I am reminded that we live by grace alone. In more ways than just redemption. As much as I hate to admit it, I don't have control over our children like I would want.
This is a hard lesson to remember at times, that we are not in control of our child's future. We hate losing control. As much as we put our lives into raising them, they still stand alone before God and are responsible for their actions.
"Yes it is true - God will remain faithful even when you're not,
because his faithfulness rests on who he is, not on what you're doing."
{Paul David Tripp - New Morning Mercies}
Another thing both My Sweetie and I have noticed about our children, is that like trees, they have a bend to them. What I mean by this, is that they tend to already be bent a certain way, no matter how hard we have worked with them in certain areas. These can be character flaws, bad qualities and traits, and things that ultimately, God will use to sanctify our children. Even though we can see genetically common things with our children, they are not cookie cutter images of us.
Some of us might see our older children make wrong decisions, bad friends, or even walk away from the faith. Fellow moms, these things are not your fault. God is working in your child's life, just like he is working in yours. We do not know the end of the story, only our Sovereign Lord knows that. And, if we saw the whole story, from beginning to end through God's eyes, we would agree that our older children are exactly where they need to be.
"Yes, your life is messy and hard, but that's not a failure of the plan;
it is the plan. It's God working to complete what he's begun in you."
{Paul David Tripp - New Morning Mercies}
When I read quotes like the one above, I am thankful for God's grace. Truly, if it was up to me, and my children's spiritual future was a reflection of my parenting, they would be destined for hell. I have failed in so many ways, and any good in me or my children is only by Christ and from his work on the cross.
Keep the faith. Remember who wrote this story, drew the map for your adult children, and planned it all perfectly. Have faith that our God, who is an amazing, awesome God, has a plan for each of us. A plan that will ultimately glorify Him.

Root causes
Professor Paul But, a biologist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a PhD in botany, has an unlikely nickname among his peers. 'They call me the Ghost Buster.'
But's research includes the study of indigenous plants and vegetation in the region. The bulk of his work is concerned with the authentication and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). He has identified herbs and foods that have poisoned people and even caused death. But earned his nickname while working on a case in which he identified a poisonous herb that killed two people who had drunk it as an infusion.
'It was supposed to be clematis root which is used in TCM but there is a herb that looks very similar which is called 'poisonous Podophyllum root'. In Cantonese, we call it gwai kau which means 'ghost mortar'.'
The professor and his team developed an 'instant method' to help identify the herb, so the mistake wouldn't be repeated.
Forensic botany, like other forensic disciplines, is based on the principle that a criminal always leaves something at the crime scene, or takes something away, although in Hong Kong it has limited applications, despite the fact that a high proportion of the territory consists of green areas.
David Clarke is a former Hong Kong government chemist and has assisted in high-profile investigations such as the infamous 'jars' murders of the 1980s in which a taxi driver dismembered the bodies of a number of women and hid them in containers in his bedroom.
'There's not much call for [forensic biology] in Hong Kong,' he says. 'Most of the murders take place in the city; in apartments, offices and on the street. There's not much pollen there and any plants you might find are probably in pots, not indigenous.
'Lugging a body around off the beaten track, especially given the hilly terrain, probably at night, doesn't seem to appeal to the average Hong Kong murderer, thank heavens.'
But's department, on occasion, is contacted by the hospital authority, the consumer council, the coroner's court and the customs and excise department, to analyse evidence in criminal cases. He says that from the samples his department is sent, data and interpretation can be provided which, in some cases, leads to further action.
The professor is also called upon to give evidence in court. This could include the identification of a certain plant species and locations where they grow. 'We would be able to identify a species of plant and its source by looking at the spores of the pollen and the size of the pollen grain and its DNA,' says But. 'We may narrow it down to an area with a large degree of reliability ... because we know the different vegetation types that cluster there.'
But says he is aware of the use of forensic botany in Britain and says, if called upon, he could use his scientific expertise in assisting a criminal investigation here.
'The main value in such an expert's work is normally in helping the police to move in the right direction,' says Clarke. 'The results don't always necessarily link a person to a place, rather they help with the chain of events and clearly sometimes to find bodies.'

My boyfriend and I have not been talking much recently because we have an unsolved issue. We are far apart, so the only way to communicate life is online messenger. But, this morning he wrote this sms to me..
"I'm tired. Every day I am online, I feel lonely. It is not that I don't love you. Don't know what should I do now. Hard to breath lately."
Why did he text me like that? Any hint behind his words? What should I do? What should I say to him?
Did his text sign something?

It seems like he doesn't like the current situation he's in with you. It's affecting him in a negative way. From it, I can't tell what the next step means for you two, how he feels or thinks. He seems to be confused about what to do. You can try to encourage him, cheer him up, make him happier. The issue between you two will still be there but kind words from someone you care about is nice. Some reassurance or a think of yourself message to bring him more peace. Do what you'd like.00|00|0
I would like to do that. But in our situation recently, I even myself have been finding it tiring. I have some doubts that he might not really into me. Sometimes I think of initiating some things first, as he usually does them first. But eventually I always end up thinking how if he thinks I am too easy to get... What should I do? Suggestions are welcomed
It's not a game. You can get hurt or your dignity can seem tarnished, but if you don't put yourself out there, then nothing can ever happen. I don't know the details, but think it over, observe how he is. If he's worth it to you and if you seem it to him, then you can try working something out, whatever it may be. If you'd like time to not think of it, or to think of it more, then take it. If you'd like to confront it, then do.

wonder character in the spotlight August :)
sean brandons project
character tie of the theme
The theme that ties to August is kindess and growth. He leared that being nice gets you good friends and he also learened to grow up because when (oli)via came into augusts room and tried to talk to him nicely and calmy but when he just ignored her she got very mad and started to yell at him and yelled "YOU NEED TO GROW UP!" and slamed the door on her way out. the way he got good friends is because he was kind, and helpful . that is why Henry, Miles and Anos helped august and jack with the 7th graders came and started acting like august was a freek.
character influences
number 1/August's freind was jack he was very funny and was realy good friends with august. then at school august was siposed to be bobo fet but instead he wore his bleeding scream costume then when august walked in he sat next to some people and over heard one of them say "if i were august i would jump off a cliif". then august ran out the room and went into bathroom and cried then he went to the nurse and said"i think i have a stomic ace". So the nurse called his mom andhe went home and said he didnt want to go treak or treating. then they had a project and august got asined to jack and they started to talk on the computer and he typed"would you realy want to ju7mp off a cliif if you were me"and then they talked and talked and became friends again. number2/I think he made jacks better because when they became friends august was a really nice kid at the end of the year and that got him more and more friends.

LPGA Legend Annika Sorenstam Returns to Headline Allianz Championship for Golf Clinic and Play
LPGA legend, Annika Sorenstam, will give tips on women's business empowerment and golf at the tee-off of the third annual Allianz Championship Women's Executive Pro-Am on February 5th at the Old Course at Broken Sound Club.
Pro-Am on Tuesday, February 5th at the Old Course at Broken Sound Club at 10:30 a.m. The women's executive "starter" power breakfast for golfers and non-golfers (with corporate tables) and the Pro-Am tournament for 36 executive women (nine foursomes) is part of the 2013 Allianz Championship, a celebrated week-long PGA Champions Tour event, the first full-field event of the season, bringing the legendary champions of golf to Boca Raton to vie for a $1.8 million purse.
"Chipping in" net proceeds to benefit Boca Raton Regional Hospital, the Women's Executive Breakfast and Pro-Am offers women the opportunity to participate in "a golf and business networking experience like no other" while giving all skill sets a chance to play nine holes with a PGA Champions Tour player. The fun-filled day includes a continental breakfast with an "up close and personal" Q&A session with Sorenstam followed by a private group clinic presented by JM Lexus followed by a shotgun start with golf pros. Registration is $750 per player, and includes Pro-Am gift package, two invites to VIP Draw Party where awards will be presented by Tiffany & Co. for the women's back nine play, and two VIP Partners Club Tickets during the Allianz Championship tournament rounds.
"We are delighted to have Annika return this year at our popular Women's Executive Pro-Am as she is one of the most dominant players in women's golf, and her advice on achieving success in both business and golf was a huge hit with last year's participants,"
He added that Sorenstam was recently selected as the Vice Captain for the 2013 Solheim Cup, the biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition pitting the best U.S.-born players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour against the best European members from the Ladies European Tour (LET), commonly known as "the most exciting tournament in Women's golf" and Sorenstam's personal favorite.
Sorenstam's success has changed how women's golf is played, covered and viewed, and in her rise to mainstream athlete and celebrity, she has had a positive impact on all women's sports. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 9, 1970 and began playing golf at the age of 12; her sister Charlotte also plays on the LPGA Tour.
Dillon said he expects with Sorenstam again being part of the tournament's experience this year and only 36 openings available, this year's Women's Executive Pro-Am will sell out quickly and encourages those interested to register early. To purchase foursomes and individual tickets by January 6th, contact Anthony Greco at firstname.lastname@example.com or 561-241-GOLF (4653).
The week-long seventh annual Allianz Championship schedule of events includes three days of championship play from Friday through Sunday, Feb. 8-10, 2013 plus the third annual Women's Executive Pro-Am on Tuesday, Feb. 5th with an Executive Pro-Am Pairings Party that evening; two days of Executive Pro-Am play on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 6th and 7th; a fourth annual Golf & Wine Experience as well as the popular Family Day activities held during the second day of championship play, Saturday, Feb. 9th and more.
The Allianz Championship, as well as its Women's Executive Pro-Am will be held on The Old Course at Broken Sound Club, located at 1401 NW 51st Street, (Yamato Road), Boca Raton, FL 33431. For more information On the Allianz Championship that runs from Feb. 4-10, 2013 and related events; Pro-Am opportunities;

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
According to several online sources, both, search giant Google and social networking giant Facebook, are competing head to head to buy out Twitter.
With more than 175 million registered users worldwide, Twitter was the pioneer of the micro-blogging space. Its popularity is due to its easy usability and real time commenting feature. It is now believed that Twitter is holding low level discussions with Google and Facebook to decide an appropriate price tag. Wall Street Journal cites the reason behind this potential buyout is the 2011 valuation of Twitter which is being estimated to be $10 billion with possible revenue of $100-$110m. When you compare this to the 2010 valuation of $3.7 billion, its no wonder Facebook and Google are keen on snapping up this growing company.
While both Google and Facebook are believed to have discussed a price for Twitter in the past, it seems both the companies are back to try their luck again. When looking at the financial conditions of both companies, Google looks to be a stronger buyer as they can both afford and accommodate the micro-blogging site (Google's main interest in this buy out is said to be an attempt to revive its real time social networking ability), On the other had, Facebook would no doubt be keen on access to Twitter's 175 million user base.
Even though Twitter has denied merger and or takeover rumors, one can only wonder how long it will be able to resist the world's two biggest tech giants.
Some observers are speculating that these rumors are simply a marketing stunt by Twitter itself. Whatever the reason, I pose this question to you – would you be keen to see 'Twitter-book' or 'tweet-buzz' in the future or would you prefer Twitter maintain its individuality?

We did a VAT return for a client, made a mistake on it and it was submitted online before it was noticed. We rang the VAT man and they said that if we send a letter detailing what happened and the amended figures it'll be sorted out and they will pay the amended figure. This was sent off but the client had a direct debit for the original amount go out this morning and he has now hit the roof and wants the difference back.
What will the VAT man do and how soon will he do it? Will a cheque for the difference be sent to the client? Will they hold it on account for next quarter and take less via direct debit next qtr? The client wants it back this afternoon (which I know is not going to happen) but what sort of a time scale are we talking, based on other peoples experiences?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Pretty quick
Provided that no questions are raised about the amended return, repayment direct to the client's bank account should be made within 1 week.

Bill passes that will require SA speaker of the assembly to attend meetings
Liam Sheehan | Staff Photographer
The Syracuse University Student Association passed a bill Monday night that would amend the responsibilities of the speaker of the assembly for future SA legislative sessions.
"The Speaker of the Assembly Cabinet Bill" will require the speaker of the assembly to attend cabinet meetings. The bill was passed after parliamentarian Obi Afriyie, who was presenting the bill as acting speaker, broke a 9-9 voting tie in the assembly.
The bill was originally presented at an SA meeting on Feb. 13, but SA's inability to meet quorum forced the assembly to table the bill.
Afriyie said the goal of the bill is to make the speaker a liaison between the cabinet and the assembly. The speaker should also have knowledge of the bills being presented at assembly meetings in the event that the speaker would need to cast a tie-breaking vote on a bill, he said.
According to the SA constitution, the speaker only has the ability to vote on a bill if a tie needs to be broken. Afriyie said that last semester's speaker cast a tie-breaking vote on a bill even though she had no knowledge of what the bill was about.
"The speaker has a lot more power than they're being given credit for," Afriyie said.
Drew Jacobson, SA's recorder, agreed that a liaison was needed between the assembly and the cabinet. Until recently, he said most people didn't know that Diasia Robinson, SA's Diversity Affairs Chair, was part of the cabinet.
"They're not great at communicating," Jacobson said. "The liaison role just wasn't happening."
He added that the speaker is responsible for managing cabinet presentations at Monday night meetings. If the speaker was present at cabinet meetings, Jacobson said the speaker could ensure that cabinet members were doing their mandatory reports on Monday nights.
Other members of the assembly, including SA's current speaker, Andrew Regalado, said he did not believe that the bill was necessary.
"When the bill went to (the Administrative Operations committee), I made sure to add that it would be for the next speaker because I personally don't think it's a part of my position to go to cabinet meetings," he said.
Janine Bogris, SA's Board of Elections and Membership chair, also said she did not believe the bill was necessary because the president is already the mediator between the cabinet and the assembly. Bogris held the speaker of the assembly position during the 59th Legislative Session.
Because the speaker of the assembly position is new, Bogris said SA should continue to determine what the speaker's role in SA should be. Regalado and future speakers should help decide whether or not the speaker should be added to the cabinet, she added.
The speaker of the assembly position was brought back to SA during the 57th Legislative Session.
Nine assembly members voted to pass the bill Monday night, while nine voted against the bill. Afriyie, presenting the bill as acting speaker, had the ability to break the tie.
"Did I not say this was an issue with the speaker?" Afriyie asked the assembly. "Because now we have a 9-9 tie."
Afriyie cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of passing the bill, allowing it to pass.
Other business
Terra Peckskamp, director of SU's Office of Residence Life, gave a presentation about the upcoming Syracuse 4+4 program. Syracuse 4+4 is a proposed set of skills ORL hopes all SU students can achieve before graduation, according to a handout distributed at the SA meeting.
The skills are divided into eight "competencies," some of which include creative, quantitative, scientific and communicative abilities. Peckskamp said the 4+4 program is currently determining which competencies students already acquire in classes and extracurricular activities in order to craft a program that can be applied to every school at the university.
Members of SA told Peckskamp the Syracuse 4+4 program should include problem-solving abilities and take note of skills students acquire in off-campus jobs.

Bike around all of Lake Tahoe - you'll get beautiful views of the lake and awesome climbing plus you're at elevation!
You'll want to wake up early for this adventure. Be sure to have breakfast and hydrate before you start.
I suggest going clockwise around the lake. The elevation hit me. I also went with a group of friends, and what's nice about going in a group though is that you can stop every so often to make sure you're all with each other. The first 20 miles is uphill and hard. It was a lot of climbing.
At mile 20 you'll cruise. It's super flat for a good 10 miles. There are a couple of hills but even miles 30 – 50 are pretty speedy as well. We stopped at mile 50 to have lunch - delish :)
Miles 50-57ish is climbing. And climbing. And climbing. At mile 57 you'll go downhill. The views are gorgeous!
You'll finish at mile 72.2.
Pack List
- Bike jersey
- Arm warmers
- Bike shorts
- Leg warmers
- Extra layer in case it's cold (it was when I went!)
- Neon biking jacket so the cars can see you
- Biking gloves
- Water bottle
- Another water bottle with electrolytes
- Snacks
- License
- Money to purchase lunch in the middle of the ride
- Biking shoes
- Helmet (obviously)

Or Race It!
I've done the bike race now 2 years in a row and it's been incredible. Not an easy race but both times I've crushed my time and have felt generally stoked through out. It's amazing to see all parts of the lake by virtue of your own effort.
about 2 years ago
Great ride but know the route and plan ahead. Always ride clockwise around the lake so that your are in the sightline of drivers gawking at the scenery. Start in Incline or Kings Beach so that you get the worst part of the ride over with. Its not the long climb up to Spooner that is hard... it's the boring roller section from Cave Rock to South Lake Tahoe that usually gets people when they are tired. And just a general note... respect traffic laws and other road users. It can be crowded up here on summer weekends. When you act like an ass hat it is never you that feels the wrath of the drivers road rage... its always the next rider who takes the fall for your stupid actions.

Budget trap/skeet gun
Before I buy my first skeet gun, I was wondering if I could get some advice on a budget 12 ga.
Tristar or USSG for a budget skeet.
Mossberg hunter o/ u
and the budget is? 870 or 500 for trap works fine. skeet better off with an ou or auto (tell me all you want you cant pump that fast or the gun cant be pumped that fast)some mod 12s and good wingmasters will prove me wrong.but its not the norm
For trap, a Mossberg 500 or a benelli nova would be fine. For skeet, you're better off looking at a used remington 1100 (or equivalent) or getting a stoeger O/U. Both can be had for <$500
1 Attachment(s)
Remington spartan made by baliki (misspelled)
sparten may be ok stoger?had a condor comp lasted about 1000 rounds then went to hell doubling on to hot a load or would not reset barrels on 1 oz loads save your pennies and buy a b gun. rem1100 is a great choice looking at a 12 ga full ck 28 in brl for 450 right now and i think it can be had for less .i shoot a 1100 lw in .410 events
I like what you said about the condor ,I was just gonna buy one ,but after reading what you said ,1000 rounds and it went to ****,I will not be buying that one thanks
Fn? Eaa? Both work well
I've got some high dollar shot guns but I would be willing to bet that I've shot more orange coasters with my Remington 870 than anything else.
