This invention is related generally to the field of file system checkpoints and more particularly to a user customizable Checkpoint Version File System (CVFS) name space.
In network environments where high-availability is a necessity, system administrators are constantly faced with the challenges of preserving data integrity and ensuring availability of critical system components. One critical system component in any computer processing system is its file system. File systems include software programs and data structures which define the use of underlying data storage devices. File systems are responsible for organizing disk sectors into files and directories and keeping track of which sectors belong to which file and which are not being used.
The accuracy and consistency of a file system is necessary to relate applications and data. However, there always exists the potential for data corruption in any computer system and therefore measures are taken to periodically save or back up file server state, to enable system recovery in the event of faults or failures.
Administrators are also looking for ways to recover from user based errors, where users and/or applications logically corrupt or delete files contained in filesystems. Traditionally tape based filesystems backups have met this need, however as the cost of disk continues to fall, more and more of these backup needs are being fulfilled by disk based, online representations of the filesystem that are statically preserved in time. These views can then be examined (for instance the 9 am, 10 am, 11 am views) at the time of loss (say 12 am) and the individual files can be retrieved from the static views and moved to the primary filesystem.
One method for backing up a file system is to collect verified snapshots ('snaps') of a consistent file system, and to store the snaps as file system checkpoints. When data corruption is detected or an object in the filesystem is logically corrupted or lost, one of the checkpoints can be used for file system recovery. Typically the selection of a checkpoint for recovery involves sifting through a list of available checkpoints and selecting one as a basis for recovery.
As the desire for seamless recovery grows, the number of checkpoints that are saved for file systems is increasing. As the number of checkpoints increases the time needed to sort through checkpoint lists becomes a factor in recovery delay.
According to one aspect of the invention, a method of displaying checkpoint information includes the steps of identifying one or more characteristics of a checkpoint recovery set, filtering checkpoints to generate a result set of recovery checkpoints having one or more of the characteristics, merging this list of checkpoints into the namespace view of the primary filesystem and optionally forwarding the result set of recovery checkpoints to a graphical user interface.
With such an arrangement, network administrators can generate custom views of desired checkpoints by specifying characteristics of a checkpoint recovery set, thereby increasing their ability to quickly select an appropriate checkpoint for use.
The present invention is directed towards an apparatus and method for defining, maintaining and displaying a checkpoint result set to facilitate identification of desirable checkpoints during system recovery. The checkpoint result set may be mapped to a user-customizable namespace. The user may customize the namespace using any type of interface, including but not limited to a graphical user interface (GUI), an application program interface (API) and command line code.
The user customizes the namespace by selecting one or more characteristics of desirable file system checkpoints. The characteristics may be absolute; meaning that the membership of the checkpoint in a group associated with the characteristic is known when the checkpoint is generated. An example of an absolute characteristic is organizing the checkpoints in a hierarchal manner according to the fiscal quarter in which they were taken. The characteristic may also be time-indexed, or relative, meaning that the membership of the checkpoint in the group associated with the characteristic is evaluated upon the occurrence of a triggering event. An example of a relative characteristic is organizing the checkpoints in a hierarchal manner according to the amount of time that has elapsed since their creation (for instance 'yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.) Being able to customize the namespace in this manner enables the user to be provided a more streamlined checkpoint result set in the event of data corruption. As a result an appropriate checkpoint can be more quickly selected for use in recovery.
In one embodiment a user customizable checkpoint version file system of the present invention is implemented as checkpoint software, a portion of which is associated with and provides an interface to a user, and a portion of which monitors checkpoints and manages directories of the checkpoints in accordance with information provided by the user interface.
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be shown and described with reference to the Network Attached Storage (NAS) system 10 of
File server 14 controls the access and retrieval of data from attached storage devices such as primary storage 15. The file server is a computer on which a user can map or mount a drive or directory so that the directory appears to be on the machine at which the user is sitting. Additionally, the user can read or write a file as though it were part of the filesystem of the user's computer.
The filesystem includes program codes and data structures for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. File systems may use a storage device such as a hard disk or CD-ROM and involve maintaining the physical location of the files, they might provide access to data on a file server by acting as clients for a network protocol,
A storage system may store one or more snapshots ('snaps'), or 'checkpoints' of the file system. If a failure or a corruption impacts an application's data the application can be re-started using one of the point-in-time checkpoints. The checkpoint may be a clone of the file system, a mirror of the file system or a snapshot of the file system. Both the clone and mirrors of the file system use a large amount of space. However, snap-shots use pointers to the production copy and physically copy only the data that changes, using less capacity than a full clone or mirrored copy. The present invention may work with any type of checkpoint.
As shown in
According to one aspect of the invention, the checkpoint software module (CkptSW) 22, executing on file server 14, can build and display a customized view of the available checkpoints and tunnel that customized view of the available checkpoints into the namespace of the primary filesystem. The checkpoints arranged according to the policy of the customized view are organized and presented in the namespace of the primary filesystem—for instance a user navigating in the primary filesystem path /foo/bar, a directory which contains the file 'bat', could navigate into /foo/bar/.ckpt (or whatever virtual directory created by the CVFS infrastructure) and be presented with:
. . .
When the user enters the 'today' directory they would be presented with the checkpoints taken today and within those checkpoints the directory views of /foo/bar that correspond to those snapshots. The exact set of hierarchal names (today, etc.) the policy of arranging checkpoints into these buckets, and the triggers that force reorganization (the passage of time etc.) are defined within the larger context of this invention and are not limited to the examples provided here.
According to another aspect of the invention, a user interface (UI) 13 is shown executing at a NAS client. A checkpoint software module (CkptSW) 22 is shown executing on file server 14. Although the UI and Ckpt SW are shown operating at particular devices in the network, it is appreciated that they may be executed at any type of device, including at policy servers, file servers, attached clients, etc. The UI enables a user to identify checkpoint characteristics that enable the CkptSW to build a hierarchical checkpoint namespace that can be used in the event of data corruption to quickly identify a desirable checkpoint for use during recovery. The UI may be implemented in many forms, including as a graphic user interface with pull down menus, a command-line-interface (CLI), an application programming interface (API), etc., and the present invention is not limited to any particular for of user interface. The UI may include functionality to build the checkpoint namespace as well as a display interface that allows for selective viewing of checkpoints in a checkpoint result set during data recovery.
In one embodiment, the characteristics that are input by the user are forwarded to a checkpoint software module, which builds filters and schedules filter operations according to the particular characteristics.
The checkpoint software is shown to include a collection of checkpoints, shown in
In a 'flat' checkpoint namespace implementation of the prior art, when a user residing in /foo/bar and attempts to change directory into /foo/bar/.ckpt, a checkpoint directory is automatically, dynamically, created that lists:
Should the user change directory into /foo/bar/.ckpt/a/ they would receive the directory listing from checkpoint A for the directory /foo/bar in checkpoint A. However, the sorting filters 43 and 44 allow a richer set of more streamlined set of checkpoints to be made available to the user. Using the example above, when a user in /foo/bar requests a checkpoint, the result set may provide the user with the options of:
The virtual checkpoint hierarchy is built on the fly in memory; it does not really 'exist' on disk, but rather is the application of a policy rule set to the metadata of the checkpoints to create a result set that may then be used to create a virtual directory out of in response to the client request.
The software also includes a namespace customizing user interface 41 by which a user can customize a checkpoint namespace. Absolute checkpoint filters 43 filter checkpoints as they are created to determine whether the checkpoints are members of a checkpoint group having an absolute characteristic. Relative checkpoint filters 44 filters checkpoints from the list 42 upon the occurrence of a triggering event to determine if the checkpoints are members of groups in a relative namespace. The checkpoints identified by filters 43 and 44 are forwarded to a checkpoint result set 45 The checkpoint result set is then nested into the namespace of the primary filesystem 46 via a virtual directory populated with handlers of checkpoints identified by the. NFS and CIFS clients can then navigate to this virtual hierarchy by going into /foo/bar/.ckpt/<virtual namespace according to the sorted view>. The result set may also be forwarded to a display user interface 47 or to the client directly (via a shared folder previous version tab in Windows) to enable a user to view the checkpoint result set and select a desired checkpoint from the checkpoint result set.
However the characteristics are identified, at step 52 they are used to build filters that are used to filter checkpoints to determine whether the checkpoints are members of checkpoint groups of interest to the user. A filter may include software code which parses appropriate locations in the file system to determine if the file system is a member of a particular group. At steps 54 and 58, each time that a new checkpoint is generated, absolute filters 43 are executed to determine whether the checkpoint is a member of the group and, if so, to populate the virtual checkpoint result set 45. At step 54 and 56, each time a relative trigger event occurs, the relative virtual directories associated with the relative trigger events are updated. The relative trigger event may include any update to a relative condition. The relative condition may be a time relative condition, a distance relative condition, a security relative condition, or any characteristic of a file system which can be looked on as being dynamic versus a set point. For example, age is a dynamic characteristic. If checkpoints are moved between storage locations it may be that the location of the file system checkpoint is dynamic, in that it may be remote or local, or even organized with respect to the geography in which it resides. In addition a checkpoint may be assigned a priority based on any combination of absolute or relative characteristics, and file system checkpoints may be categorized according to their priority. In such an instance, the change in priority of the file system checkpoint may be the triggering event which causes the checkpoint to be re-categorized. Accordingly it can be seen that there are a variety of methods of identifying relative characteristics and determining events that will cause membership in relative characteristic groups to be re-evaluated, and the present invention is not limited in this manner.
Accordingly a method an apparatus has been shown and described which allows a user to customize the namespace in a file system which contains methods to directly access checkpoint versions of that file system. Having described various embodiments of the invention, it will be appreciated that many of the above figures are flowchart illustrations of methods, apparatus (systems) and computer program products according to an embodiment of the invention. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus create means for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart block or blocks. These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable memory that can direct a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable memory produce an article of manufacture including instruction means which implement the function specified in the flowchart block or blocks. The computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer or other programmable apparatus to produce a computer implemented process such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable apparatus provide steps for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart block or blocks.
Those skilled in the art should readily appreciate that programs defining the functions of the present invention can be delivered to a computer in many forms; including, but not limited to: (a) information permanently stored on non-writable storage media (e.g. read only memory devices within a computer such as ROM or CD-ROM disks readable by a computer I/O attachment); (b) information alterably stored on writable storage media (e.g. floppy disks and hard drives); or (c) information conveyed to a computer through communication media for example using baseband signaling or broadband signaling techniques, including carrier wave signaling techniques, such as over computer or telephone networks via a modem

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Spain. In Spain, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The De la riva family originally lived near a river bank or seaside. The surname De la riva is derived from the word riparia, which is further derived form the Latin word ripa, which mean river bank or seaside.

"Chief Thunderbird" is about Andy Cruickshank who brought commercial air service to Yukon in the 1920s. I went through school with his granddaughter and it is through her that I learned about him. Her family shared documents and information about his life and I wrote this song.
From what I understand, he was referred to as Chief Thunderbird because some of the First Nations people referred to the Northern Lights as Chief Thunderbird so when they saw his plane in the skies, they said it made them think of Chief Thunderbird.
There is a replica of his Queen of the Yukon in the museum in Whitehorse. I took this photo on a visit there in 1998. Its sister ship was Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis and according to family records, Andy was given the "Lucky Dollar" that Lindbergh carried with him on his momentous flight.
Chief Thunderbird from John McLachlan on Vimeo.
Chief Thunderbird
The blue porcelain sky in the midnight sun
Is shattered by a sound on the wind
Chief Thunderbird in the Queen of the Yukon
It's here the story begins
Andy Cruickshank a bold pioneer
He flew the first plane in the cold Yukon air
A Ryan monoplane built for the frontier
A plane with spirit, a pilot without fear
She had an air cooled Wright Whirlwind 230 horse
Could cruise at a hundred miles an hour
The Spirit of St. Louis was the Queen's sister ship
Andy carried Lindberg's lucky dollar
1927 when his plane touched down
The City of Whitehorse and all the other towns
The drone of that engine brought everyone around
All through the North he would gain great renown
Chief Thunderbird high in the sky
It's the name they called you when you would fly by
Chief Thunderbird like a god in the sky
You'll not be forgotten, your fame will not die
Andy was a man who was tender at heart
With a will, steadfast and true
All those who knew him had to agree
He was the best pilot the Yukon ever knew
Transporting miners and all manner of things
In a land of snow and ice came his silver wings
To those that were lost great relief he would bring
Of Chief Thunderbird, many praises they'd sing
The blue porcelain sky in the midnight sun
Is silent but for the sound of the wind
Chief Thunderbird and his Queen of the Yukon
Will not be seen or heard from again
In July of '32 near Lake Mazenod
The plane he was flying crashed in the fog
On his way from Fort Rae just doin' his job
Young Andy Cruikshank's life had been robbed

Throughout my career I've always sought to inspire individuals and organizations to reject mediocrity and reach for greatness. Clients come to me because they're stuck. Regardless of what's holding them back, they want to get better results and break through to new levels of impact and success.
I'm fueled by a passion to help people achieve their full potential and make a significant impact on the world around them. And I'm at my best when engaged in honest, courageous conversations about personal and organizational transformation. I ask the tough questions and make it safe for my clients to explore difficult issues. When they are willing to be honest and authentic, willing to take action to bring about positive change, their organizations can achieve powerful, transformational results.
The greatest compliment I've had from a client is, "I can't talk to anyone else about this stuff. You really get me." What a sacred trust! Behind every business is an individual or a group that really wants to do something special. Deep down they know they're meant for more. They have dreams and aspirations of building something meaningful, making a difference for their clients, and providing a great life for their family. I have the privilege of being invited into their story and helping them achieve it. Powerful stuff!
My best piece of business advice? Get clear on who you are and why your business exists, and let that sense of purpose guide every decision you make. Make your mission your North Star. That amount of focus will lead to incredible results and will place you among the top performers and influencers in your industry.
My best piece of social media advice? Be social. Engage. Don't just push out content. It is "social" media after all.
When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
Eric Deschamps
Business Coach
One thing I have learned is that you will achieve a similar level of success as the people whom you surround yourself with. If you want to BE a winner, surround yourself with winners who give good counsel. Eric fits this bill perfectly. He is grounded, energetic, smart, and funny. I truly believe that there isn't a human alive that wouldn't benefit from having Eric at their side as a coach.John Deagan
Eric, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. After twenty-four years as a successful businessperson I was skeptical about coaching. Boy was I wrong! I immediately went to work implementing one of the strategies you coached me on and two weeks later I closed two new clients for a total of $23,880 in new business! That's business I would not have got had it not been for your coaching.Teeka Tiwari
I've greatly benefited from my coaching sessions with Eric, who has provided the advice, strategies and tools needed to launch a start-up firm. He inspires, listens well and provides the motivation and determination to stay focused, leap into the next level and achieve your goals. His professionalism, resourcefulness and creativity is a must for business owners and professionals.Nissrine Ghannoum
I had never worked with a coach that took the time to research our goals and design a program focused on each person's personal development. You got to know us prior to meeting us so that the training would be more relevant. I would definitely recommend your training and coaching to businesses, large and small, that want to improve their performance.Graham MacNab

I know and admire Eric as a fellow business coach. He has the ability to challenge you, bring out your best, and do it with an empathetic approach.

You won't be disappointed! -Doug Christy, Founder of Pro/Vision Coaching

Eric helped me reorganize the way I see myself in my business, and I have only taken baby steps with this amazing coach down the path to success… There is one word I can use to do describe this passionate business coach: systems.

Cream gold star tumblers
Marita Green is a popular local Taranaki ceramicist who maintains a prolific art practice. She enjoys her domestic ware to have to have the mark of its maker. For this reason Marita manually constructs each piece, giving it a sense of authenticity free from moulds or other methods of mass production. Marita finds making functional works to be very satisfying. All of her domestic ware glazes are food-safe. These tumblers are glazed in blue and have a gold star motif painted repeatedly around the outer walls as decoration. They are lightly textured with subtle, bumpy bands in the clay. Each tumbler is sold separately.
Height: 100mm
Top Diameter: 75mm
(All measurements are approximate because each piece is made by hand).

Ripple is a newly built, architect designed house brought all the way from the forests of Transylvania! Set on the tidal reach of the River Thames on Eel Pie Island at Twickenham, Ripple combines comfort with style. Roof lights make it light and bright with its high open eaved ceiling, glass gables and spacious living and kitchen area - open the glass doors on to the decking, watch the boats go by and enjoy the pretty landscaped garden. The interior is entirely wood-lined with wooden floors, all beautifully painted and after a busy day sightseeing in London, this is just the place to return to rest and relax.
Ripple has a child safe garden with railings at the waters edge, a BBQ and garden gazebo. Lots of DVDs, toys and books for children and a wonderful playground about 10 minutes walk away. The master bedroom has an en suite shower, wash basin and W.C.; the twin bedroom has 'zip and link' beds so the two single beds can be converted into a queen sized bed if required. Bunk beds (one on top of the other) in the 3rd bedroom are full sized for adults or children. All the beds are ready and made up for your arrival including towels. There is a washer/dryer in the family bathroom (washing powder supplied), walk-in-shower, wash basin and W.C.: soaps and toilet rolls for your arrival. The dining table in the living area seats 8 and the kitchen is well equipped for your cooking requirements with all new appliances: dishwasher (powder supplied)hob, oven, microwave, toaster, fridge/freezer, blender...all brand new! We make sure the cupboards are stocked with basic foods - instant coffee, tea, sugar, oil, salt and pepper - and some fresh food for your arrival. 2 dark grey sofas allow you to relax and watch the flat screen TV in comfort or view the river and birdlife. Free high speed internet access is available, along with a spare laptop and printer.
Eel Pie Island is situated in the middle of the Thames at Twickenham, West London. It was given its name in the 16th century for supplying King Henry VIII with eel pies! It became famous again in the 1960's when various British rock bands, including the Rolling Stones and The Who, performed at a dance hall which has since been demolished. This small, car-free island with its friendly village atmosphere, has approximately 35 dwellings, 3 working boatyards, a rowing club, yacht club, a variety of artists studios and a number of houseboats. Access is via a footbridge from Twickenham and Ripple is 30 yards from the bridge.
Twickenham High Street, with its full range of shops, is 200 yards from the island's footbridge. Explore the narrow, old English lanes along by the river, past the medieval St Mary's Church and the Mary Wallace Theatre owned and run by the Richmond Shakespeare Society. Book yourself a table at the 17th century White Swan Pub where the food and beer are excellent. Within easy walking distance you can reach the famous Twickenham Rugby Stadium, the historic houses of Marble Hill and Ham House and a scenic towpath walk takes you to Richmond-upon -Thames where the Theatre often presents plays before they are shown in London's West End.
Twickenham British Rail Station is an 8 minute walk away and a frequent train service takes you to London Waterloo in 20 minutes. Heathrow Airport is a 25 minute taxi ride and can be reached by public transport. Gatwick Airport can also be easily reached by train. We would be happy to advise you on the details of these journeys. You do not need to hire a car to enjoy this part of west London because travel links are excellent but if you do choose to hire a car there is public carparking along Twickenham riverside opposite Ripple (altogether a 3 minute walk from car to Ripple). There are no designated parking places but there's not a problem with parking and permits are available from us if you need them. Within a 15 minute drive are Hampton Court (Henry VIII's Palace), Richmond Park (Henry's hunting ground), The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, and Sandown Race Course at Esher.
We have had a holiday rental home on the site of Ripple for 21 years- we live a 20 minute drive away- and 7 years ago (2010) completed the building of a brand new Ripple to our design. Our children have grown up with the river and the eccentricities of island life and we love the peace and quiet of this beautiful part of London. We have found that our visitors have enjoyed the added adventure of staying on an island whilst visiting London. And for all those honeymooners... we have now been written about in 'London for Lovers' by Sam Hodges and Sophie Vickers so let Ripple be a special place for you too!
'He who is tired of London is tired of life' Samuel Johnson 1777. Come and stay at Ripple and discover the delights of London.
Keywords: Newly Built, Architect-Designed Wood Lined Chalet on Eel Pie Island (Access by Footbridge) on the River Thames in Twickenham
We have two sons aged 27 and 22 and we have spent many happy weekends and holidays on Eel Pie Island while the children were growing up. It was here that they learnt to row and sail and we as a family became part of the island community enjoying raft races, island BBQs and many a pirate party for our children's birthdays. We are both self employed and Ripple has been a peaceful haven for us where we have shared so many happy memories with friends, neighbors and family. Come and be part of the 'Ripple' experience!
Sarah Mumford purchased this chalet in 1996
For 32 years we have lived in west London with a view of the River Thames, and our love of boats and the water led us 21 years ago, to buy 'Ripple', our holiday home on Eel Pie Island, just 20 minutes drive away from where we live. We discovered the island on one of our boating adventures, saw a house for sale, and were captivated by the idea of holidaying in a wooden chalet off shore, in London! We found that crossing the bridge helped transport us to a place of rest and refreshment that was distinctive from our 'mainland' home. Over the years we have kept a variety of boats on our pontoon - sailing, motor, rowing - and have many great memories of boating adventures. Ask our boys how one of our engines came to be on the river bed!!
London - capital city of England and a great base for seeing the rest of Britain and Europe. Ripple, a unique holiday home in a beautiful part of London right on the River Thames. Staying on Eel Pie Island gives you peace and quiet, you'll be woken by birdsong and not airplanes, and you can easily access central London with the excellent travel links. Twickenham is on the British Rail network (fast train to Waterloo), Richmond (2 miles away) is on the District Line on the Tube, and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports are within easy reach by train or taxi. This part of London is steeped in history with many of its own amazing tourist attractions on the doorstep (Royal Palaces, Botanical Gardens, historic houses..) which enables you to combine visiting all the usual sights of central London while living in a vibrant, local community. What our visitors have said: S.Africa: 'We had an excellent visit to London. this is a lovely setting in contrast to busy London. A good place to come back to at the end of a hectic day of sight-seeing' New Hampshire, USA : 'Wonderful, perfect, lovely, walk across the bridge and you're in a different world! Feels like a home away from home' Seattle: 'We feel so fortunate to have based our first trip to London at Ripple. The sights in the City were fabulous. The trains, tube and buses worked well. But maybe best of all was returning home to Eel Pie Island each evening...' Ontario:'Very much enjoyed the history, heat and heavenly breezes of this hospitable neighborhood' Australia:'We can't wait to come again and will tell all our friends that you can have a relaxing family holiday with 3 children in London!'
Rugby football at Twickenham Rugby Stadium, Wimbledon Tennis, Art galleries, Historic National Trust properties, Ice-skating at Hampton Ct and Kew Gardens (seasonal), Richmond Theatre. Twickenham has one of the longest-running Farmers Markets held on Saturdays, selling a wide range of delicious meat, fish, bread, honey, fruit...
Great place to stay and use as a base to explore London and surrounds. Flat, no stairs, great host, lots to investigate. All the basics and more supplied. Thanks
Lovely experience. Well equipped place.
Sarah Mumford was very pleasant and helpful in making the,reservation. The home was very nice. One minor suggestion would be to fix the squeaky floor in the master bedroom.
Ripple is the perfect place to unwind and relax after days of sight seeing. The home is very well stocked and extremely comfortable. We are a family of 6 and there was more than enough room for everyone to have their own bed and not feel cramped. Twickenham is a delightful town and everyone was very friendly. There are lots of restaurants and a market within easy walking distance. We walked every day to the train station (about 10 min away) and found easy connections to anywhere we wanted to go. Sarah is just amazing! She even had a birthday cake waiting for my husband as I had inquired about bakeries there. She left us a fantastic bottle of wine and some lovely flowers as well. Our only regret with Ripple, was not staying longer. If, no when, we get back to London, Ripple will absolutely be the place we will seek out. Thank you, Sarah, for everything. You have created a world class destination.
Had a great week. Fabulous house and Sarah the owner made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. The lovely open plan with the large glass doors allowed us to enjoy the river activity and also enjoy the large bird population. A short walk across the footbridge and you are in the middle of the lovely town of Twickenham with great pubs and shops plus train station to London. Thanks again Sarah for making our stay so enjoyable and we will be back.
Sarah is wonderful to deal with, exceptionally thoughtful, reliable, charming and her boathouse is everything we expected (from previous 5 star reviews) and more. So smartly designed, in perfect condition, comfortable, full of light, cheery, spotless, odorless, quiet and with all modern conveniences, the best equipped kitchen and dozens of local and UK history and guide books AND just steps across the footbridge from all the resources one could want in charming Twickenham---grocery stores like Waitrose and M&S, coffee shops, bakers, pharmacies, historic inns like the Barmy Arms and the White Swan, a great variety of good restaurants (like the Crown and Masaniello), book stores, the Saturday morning farmers' market---- as well as beautiful walks along the Thames amongst affable locals and their dogs by Marble Hill to Richmond or via foot ferry just minutes by foot from Ripple to historic Ham House or further to vast Richmond Park. A vehicle is unnecessary because the bus system (to nearby Kew Gardens or Hampton Court, for example) is extraordinarily easy (get an Oyster card from the liquor store on Richmond Rd aka York Street) and comprehensive as are the trains of course (the train station being only a 10 minute walk from Ripple). We went planning to return to some of our favorite places in central London but were so pleased with the interesting, satisfying and relaxing local environment we simply stayed to take full advantage of all it had to offer including the rural feel of Eel Pie Island so rich with history, some of its denizens and the personable Brits one meets along the tow path.
An exceptionally rewarding experience. Thank you so much Sarah. Like so many of your guests, we'll be back!

LIFTWARE Level and LIFTWARE Steady
by Verily Life Sciences
The LIFTWARE handles with spoon attachments are designed to help people with hand tremor or limited hand and arm mobility retain confidence and independence. LIFTWARE Steady uses sensors in the handle to detect movement or tremor and steadies the utensil automatically. LIFTWARE Level keeps a utensil at the angle needed to eat any meal despite involuntary movement. Both products increase independence with less spillage. Both handles can support spoon or fork attachments, both of which are dishwasher safe. The LIFTWARE handles and attachments were added to the AT Lending Library through support from the CT Tech Act.

Economic Warfare against Iran
The United States and its allies have all the tools necessary to punish the banks, corporations and charities helping Iran achieve nuclearization. If we are truly going to stop Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons, we must use as many of the bows in our quiver as possible.
J.E. Dyer: This is What 'Forward' Looks Like
For many people, especially younger ones, ideas about which government rules and "services" we can happily do without will be new and startling. But it is possible to slip the surly bonds of the Regulated Man construct and envision a better future. Wisconsin has taken an important step toward that future. Walker's Wisconsin is what "Forward" looks like.
Birthright: A Story of Identity that Keeps on Giving for One LA Executive
Traci Szymanski: "Every meeting, every encounter is an opportunity to change someone's conception about Israel and the Jewish people. If we work to change the misconceptions about Israel, it will help decrease the prejudice and hate that often misconstrues the reality here."
The Real Purpose of Boycotts
BDS advocates seem to be prevented by their pre-existing beliefs -- whether anti-Israeli or anti-Semitic attitudes -- from appreciating the the context in which facts can be understood. If they truly wanted to help the Palestinians, their time and energy would be better spent encouraging Arab states and Palestinians to demand better governance from their leaders, and enter into negotiations to normalize political and trade relations with Israel.
Dershowitz: Zimmerman Prosecutor's Conduct Entirely Unprofessional
Even if Angela Corey's actions were debatable, which I believe they were not, I certainly have the right, as a professor who has taught and practiced criminal law nearly 50 years, to express a contrary view. The idea that a prosecutor would threaten to sue someone who disagrees with her for libel and slander, to sue to university for which he works, and to try to get him disbarred, is the epitome of unprofessionalism.
Endemic Mass Psychosis Strikes Universities
The irrational, obsessive, unbalanced, excessive, fanatical hatred of a nation that characterizes a person like CSU-Northridge Mathematics Professor David Klein is a form of mental illness that attacks and destroys the moral sense found in a normal individual. En masse, it is a mass psychosis. In academia, it is an endemic mass psychosis.
Observations on the Proposed Law on Compensating Palestinian Land Owners
Minister Benny Begin and others who oppose the law argue that it will be voided by the Supreme Court and that the law will damage Israel on the international front. If the Supreme Court indeed voids the law this will no doubt bring praise for Israel from the international community – not condemnation. And rest assured the court will rule on the law in lightning speed.
Eurocrisis: Russia Offers Its Services
Russia undoubtedly has strategic interests when offering financial support to debt-ridden Europe. Many will lose through the eurocrisis, but Russia will not be among them. So far, Brussels has not turned to Moscow for help -- yet. But if the situation deteriorates, that soon might be the case.
Israel to world: Terrorists Aren't Terrorists
Israel's return of the bodies of 91 Arab terrorists was supposedly a "humanitarian gesture," which is intended to make the PA more likely to negotiate with Israel. But what it really did was provide a photo-op for the Palestinians to pretend that the terrorists were actually soldiers, and that their actions were warfare and not murder.
Rubin Reports: Egypt's Presidential Election – Moderate Establishment vs. Totalitarian Revolutionaries
Egypt's fate, I think, will not be settled by the June 16-17 presidential election. It has already been set by the parliamentary election which has given a large majority to the Islamists as well as the ability to write the constitution. If Ahmad Shafiq defeats the Brotherhood candidate, Muhammad al-Mursi, the only way out would be a Shafiq-army alliance, giving the president — who has no political party and no organized base of support in parliament — some muscle.
Jewish Tradition and the Secrets of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
What can explain the "Shades of Grey" phenomenon? Why are so many married women reading about submission in an age of feminine liberation?
Mordechai Kedar: What Drives Turkey?
Turkey, no doubt, is an important regional power, and Israel must weigh its steps carefully when dealing with it, because of the changes that are occurring in the region and in light of the unsolved difficulties with Turkey – the flotilla two years ago and the gas in the future.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Where Are the Moderate Arabs and Palestinians?
The Palestinians have been radicalized to a point where it is almost impossible to talk about peace and coexistence with Israel. For Palestinians, the true heroes are suicide bombers who blew themselves up in cafes and buses, killing innocent civilians. Peace activists, human rights advocates, moderates, journalists and reformers have almost no say and are often denounced as "traitors" and a "fifth column."
Questions Facing the Muslim World
Many parts of the world, such as Korea, China, and India - basically medieval kingdoms fifty or sixty years ago -- are now among the pacesetters of the modern world, both producing, and improving on, existing inventions. The Muslim world, however, often better off than these countries just half a century ago, has remained as it was, or has even, in many instances, deteriorated.
Rubin Reports: Where Did All the Billions of Dollars Given to the Palestinian Authority...
The Palestinian Authority has received more aid money per person than anyone else in history and yet the results have been remarkably unimpressive. The Western taxpayers give the money, the PA leaders steal or use the money for political purposes, and the average Palestinian suffers more from this situation than from the largely extinct "Israeli occupation."
Yoram Ettinger: The Westernization of Muslim Demographics
Anyone suggesting that Jews are doomed to become a minority west of the Jordan River, that there is a demographic machete at the throat of the Jewish State and that the Jewish State must concede Jewish Geography in order to secure Jewish Demography, is either grossly mistaken or outrageously misleading!
The West, Iran, and the 'Process' Trap
Few things ought to be as urgent as keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Yet the West – led from the front by the United States – has fallen into the "peace process" trap that considers talk to be progress and, once a conversation has begun, that there is nothing worse than stopping it: Talk about what you've talked about. Talk about what you won't talk about. Talk about talking again. Talk again. Repeat.
An Airline Losing Its Way
The past decade saw the privatization of El Al and today the airline is more dedicated to keeping public shareholders happy than she is to fulfilling any sort of national mission. A perfect case in point happened recently when a profit-motivated El Al attempted to charge the President of the State of Israel an exorbitant $4,700 to haul a security mandated oxygen tank.
Rubin Reports: What to Say When You're Handed the 'Obama is Good for Israel'...
Many Americans, and particularly Jews, are starting to receive mailings encouraging them to vote for or donate to the reelection campaign of President Barack Obama by arguing that he is pro-Israel. Several readers have asked me to provide them with responses. Here is a brief answer.
Alan Dershowitz: Edwards' Jury Couldn't Decide and For Good Reason
This entire farce of a trial is part of a larger problem that infects not only America but other Western countries as well: the criminalization of policy differences and of personal sin.
Evangelicals : Righteous Gentiles for Israel
Dr. Kenneth Meshoe, a member of the South African Parliament, president of the African Christian Democratic Party, and pastor of a South African Church has been an important counterweight to the disparagers of Israel. He describes those who promulgate the lie of Israel-as-apartheid as ignorant individuals who are not aware of, or who deliberately disregard, the true nature of the negative impact of apartheid on black South Africans.
Mordechai Kedar: Engulfed by Fear
The states of the Arabian Peninsula feel increasingly dependent on the US and the West to safeguard their independence and their political and economic maneuverability, but the West seems tired and exhausted, and its leadership - especially the current resident in the White House, who is heavily influenced by the approaching elections - lacks backbone and has no ability to stop the Iranians from galloping towards regional hegemony.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: An Open Letter to Congressmen Steve Rothman and Bill Pascrell
Americans are sick and tired of rancorous, scorched-earth politics, which has given Congress a nine percent approval rating. Let's show America that politics is an honorable profession, a noble calling, filled with people who put values, country, and integrity first. Let's start winning people back to the political theater by demonstrating that politics are inspiring rather than depressing, ennobling rather than corrupting, and harmonious rather than rancorous.
The Cause of Europeans' Attitude Towards Israel
A female Belgian minister downplayed a personal insult by Morocco's Islamist PM, yet no such caution was taken when Israeli MK Yaakov Litzman declined to shake the hand of his female Belgian colleague.
Muslim Brotherhood Plotting To Take Over Jordan?
Today, most of the anti-regime demonstrations throughout the kingdom are being initiated and led by Muslim Brotherhood supporters whose goal is to turn Jordan into an Islamic republic. Many Arabs feel that President Barack Obama's endorsement of the Muslim Brotherhood has emboldened the Islamists and increased their appetite to drive moderate and secular rulers out of the Arab world.

Rastacouere (702) Montreal, Quebec | August 1, 2007
One of the furthest brewpubs from Vienna's center. When in there, I was alone at the bar, and it is a rather large place. The bartender asked me if I wanted a bit of music, to which I nodded, and he came up with this extremely loud and repelling rap. Anyway, he was trying.. Besides, the place feels rather dump, not really brewpub-like, yet the prices are cheap. I just don't think I would eat there. Come for hunting's sake, but I predict you won't stay too long.

Kiss Yourself' EP set for release on the 18th of November
Tour dates below
Photo Credit: Ruth Guest
Pre Order 'Kiss Yourself' EP here: https://lnk.to/KissYourself
Muso oddballs Meltybrains? tear up the rulebook and stomp on the shreds with new EP 'Kiss Yourself' set for release on the 18th of November by way of a Football match in London and a show at The Victoria.
Today they drop a preview track in the form of 'Step' and its accompanying video.
Meltybrains? show a rare talent for wading into deep creative waters to pluck pearls. For fans of experimental maestros like Gang Gang Dance and Micachu, Meltybrains? push the envelope by being batshit. At a time when most bands are afraid to take any risks, Meltybrains? take them laughing, and their unswerving dedication to their craft (despite their whacky flippancy) is evinced in the beaming praise they've received for their live show-cum-spectacle from outlets such as Boiler Room, Clash, Pigeons & Planes and The Irish Times to name a few.
With more material to come by the end of the year, Meltybrains? are firm contenders for the most intriguing prospect the British counter culture has had in donkey's years. They're the antithesis to the spick and span polish and carefully manufactured image of most groups. Ultimately, they're explorers, pushing to the furthest reaches of music and entertainment to report back that there's yet more to be discovered.

A collection of the 10 most memorable articles from Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly.
For nearly 23 years from 1985 until 2007, Rick Reilly's writing graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, anchored by the back-page column "Life of Reilly" that largely defined his career at the magazine. In seven of the 10 years he wrote the column he was named National Sportswriter of the Year. In honor of Reilly's return to the pages of SI since his last column on Dec. 3, 2007, here is a collection of 10 of the most memorable articles from his SI career.
Reilly shares his adventure on a F-14D Tomcat fighter jet.
The tale of high school referee Kenny Wilcoxen.
The story of the 1923 bout between Bill Brennan and a dying Billy Miske, who hoped to stay on his feet long enough to bring home a $2,400 purse.
Inside the dark world of hazing and harassment of and by athletes at The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina.
Nick Faldo won a third green jacket but only after Greg Norman suffered the worst collapse in major tournament history.
The greatest sports dynasty of the '90s may (or may not) be about to hang it up, but behind the scenes the Chicago Bulls' season has certainly felt like a farewell tour.
Reilly asks his Sports Illustrated readers to send $10 each to hang malaria nets over kids in Africa.
After winning the 1991 British Open, Ian Baker-Finch lost his game and, in a desperate effort to find it, nearly lost his mind.
Reilly writes about the football team at the California School for the Deaf at Riverside.
The story of Korinne Shroyer, who's tragic suicide gave life to others in need.

Tropidelic formed in 2007 along the banks of the Cuyahoga River in the murky town of Kent, Ohio. Fusing energetic reggae, hip-hop and funk, the group built a local following distributing over 5000 free copies of their first EP, "Rebirth of The Dope" on campuses and street corners throughout the region. In 2010, the group relocated to Cleveland and bolstered themselves as an area favorite through consistent performances at venues like House Of Blues, Mr. Smalls and Nelson Ledges Quarry Park, supporting acts like 311, Sublime w/Rome, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, The Wailers, The Dirty Heads, Soja & many more. Their 2010 release, "Erie Vibes & Irie Tides" received airplay
on many area radio stations including CBS-owned 92.3 FM.

When the Nationals traded Nyjer Morgan to the Milwaukee Brewers this spring, manager Jim Riggleman was left with an interesting decision. Having no prototypical leadoff hitter on the roster, who would he slot in that position?
It's not like Morgan was the perfect choice. Once heralded as the center fielder of the present and future by general manager Mike Rizzo, Morgan has some serious flaws as a player and some will cite his erratic behavior last season, saying he may have significant problems off the field, as well. But we're not here to play psychiatrist. Most Nats fans were happy to see him go and the Nationals had plenty of baseball reasons for moving Morgan off the roster.
For all his speed, he is only an adequate defender. He has a knack for the dramatic, and the catch he made in Baltimore last season robbing Corey Patterson of a home run will not soon escape the memory of anyone that saw it. But as often as he makes a play like that, there were two where he would take a bad route, throw to the wrong base or miss the cutoff man completely with his wet noodle of an arm.
Morgan is also a terrible base stealer, leading the National League in being caught stealing the last two seasons. Sure, he's fast, but he also runs every time he gets on base and has no sense of when to run and when the threat of running was enough.
But one thing Morgan is good at is getting on base against right-handed pitchers. In his career, his overall slash line of .309/.361/.388 against right-handed pitching was perfectly acceptable for a leadoff hitter in the NL. He is dreadful against lefties though, hitting .203/.296/.278. That's like batting a second pitcher.
If the Nats had spent the offseason looking for a platoon partner and trying to rehabilitate Morgan from his discipline problems instead of trying to replace him outright, they might have a serviceable leadoff hitter and the batting order would look a lot better. But as it is, Riggleman is forced to choose between Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa. Desmond has had first shot, but Riggleman announced he was switching the two after Desmond started the season 0-for-13, before changing his mind again before Wednesday's game.
It was nice to see Desmond snap his four-game hitless streak in last night's 7-4 loss to the Florida Marlins, as he went 4-for-5 with two RBIs in the leadoff spot. Hopefully that's the change in momentum he needs to seize the opportunity he's been handed.
But neither player is suited for the duty as he currently plays the game. When the team inserted Desmond in the leadoff spot after the trade, both Rizzo and Riggleman said publicly that they wouldn't ask Desmond to change his approach at the plate just because he was leading off. This was neither realistic nor practical. Desmond is a hacker by nature, and he owns a .303 career OBP and was ranked fourth-lowest in the National League in 2010 in pitches per plate appearance (of batters with 400-plus appearances). Those are not the attributes of a leadoff hitter.
Espinosa has a nice blend of power and speed, and has had success in the minors hitting leadoff with a decent idea of plate discipline. But he also has never really hit for average (.270/.365/.455 in the minors) and is, after all, a true rookie.
Until the Nats can find someone that will consistently take pitches and reach base ahead of Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman, they will continue to struggle to score runs. Desmond will apparently get further opportunity to show he can be that player, but he will have to change his approach to do so.

The Business Paradigm Shift
We live in a remarkable time in humanity's evolution. The old paradigm of separation has brought us to the brink of ecological, social, and economic collapse. By fixating excessively on profit, business has been at the heart of the problem. But a new reality is dawning.
Conscious business is still emerging and in need of clear principles to guide business leaders and unify the global movement of business transformation. Recognizing this urgent and timely need, Humanity's Team, The Club of Budapest, and The Goi Peace Foundation have come together to create the Conscious Business Declaration . With this Declaration we strive to define a new standard for business in the 21st century.
Conscious Business Declaration
The Declaration represents a revolution in what it means to be a business. Those willing to sign the Declaration join a global community of business leaders who are committed to developing the awareness and skills needed to consciously evolve their organizations in accord with its principles, to help create a world that serves humanity and all life on Earth.
Join our Conscious Business News - Stay Connected!
The Emerging Conscious Business Community
Through the Conscious Business Training and Certification Program , Humanity's Team strives to accelerate the emergence of a vibrant community of conscious business practitioners. We see this community as the future that is ready to emerge at this time. Join us to help organize and mobilize as a community consecrated to sacred activism through business transformation, in service to the collective awakening of all humanity. Together we can co-create in this loving, joyful and empowering adventure of sacred activism through business.
At this time many are realizing our essential Oneness, the fact that we are one with humanity and all of life. Similarly, business and all institutions of the human community are integral parts of a single reality — interrelated, interconnected and interdependent. This new awareness makes it clear that the purpose of business is to increase economic prosperity while contributing to a healthy environment and improving human well-being. This is fueling a new movement to align the institution of business with this reality.
Humanity's Team Conscious Business Training & Certification Program
Humanity's Team recognizes that many business leaders and change agents will need help to implement this new standard. Many are looking for inspiration, insights, tools, and support to drive transformation that aligns with the principles in the Conscious Business Declaration . Humanity's Team's
Conscious Business Training and Certification Program
, which will launch in 2016, is designed to address this need.
Our training program will focus on critical skills and proven practices for transforming businesses. The training focuses on seven key principles articulated in the Conscious Business Declaration . It is designed to help businesses move beyond an almost exclusive focus on profit to also embrace the needs of people, planet and presence -- the innate nature of Divine Oneness in all life.
