I adore the jewelry from Maine's Quench Metalworks. Let's just say that you were wondering what kind of gift to get me…you know, just in case you didn't know. Then, you might consider the fabulous butterfly necklace {bottom, right}…or the ring {top, left}. That's just the nice kind of person I am…helping you make these difficult decisions easier!!
You can learn more about the artist, Jen, here. Follow her blog here. Fan {or, "like"} her on Facebook!
My mom used to do enamel work…before I was born, and up until I was a toddler {and could potentially get WAY too close to a hot kiln}. I've always wanted to learn how, but have to make a point of asking for a lesson next time I visit my parents…my mom still has the kiln!
I think the enamel jewelry from Angela Gerhard is beautiful. I love her color combinations, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. I'm totally in love with the bracelets {center, left}. Just gorgeous.
PHEW! I took a much longer break than I had intended…I've been paying the price for having a ton of fun while on vacation…I have had a nasty cold for the past week…Bleh.
Amazingly, while we were in Sedona, I did ABSOLUTELY no shopping. NONE. Zilch. Zippo. It's hard for me to believe, really. We just hiked around the beautiful red rock, cooked gobs of food, drank wine and hot-tubbed under the stars….
I DID find a wonderful online-jeweler who is BASED in Arizona…does that count?! I've been a fan of Starving Artist Bazaar for years, and her work has been featured on pretty much EVERY indie blog out there…but I just had to share too! I love lampwork beads, and especially the pieces she creates!
Vancouver based Flight Path uses a tattoo-like process to permanently color the leather on each of the pieces, resulting in some very cool pieces. I love the colors and unique graphics…and I'm WAY too chicken to get a real tattoo…these fantastic pieces suit me just fine!
You can become a Facebook Fan or follow along on Twitter.
From Tel Aviv, AnaKim makes lovely jewelry! I especially love the little earrings with their organic shapes…and not-so-perfect circles. I think they'd be nice every day pieces…great for layering too!

SQL Server offers three recovery models: full recovery, simple recovery and bulk-logged recovery. The recovery models determine how much data loss is acceptable and determines whether and how transaction logs can be backed up.
Select Simple Recovery Model if:
* Your data is not critical.
* Losing all transactions since the last full or differential backup is not an issue.
* Data is derived from other data sources and is easily recreated.
* Data is static and does not change often.
Select Bulk-Logged Recovery Model if:
* Data is critical, but logging large data loads bogs down the system.
* Most bulk operations are done off hours and do not interfere
with normal transaction processing.
* You need to be able to recover to a point in time.
Select Full Recovery Model if:
* Data is critical and no data can be lost.
* You always need the ability to do a point-in-time recovery.
* Bulk-logged activities are intermixed with normal transaction processing.
* You are using replication and need the ability to resynchronize all
databases involved in replication to a specific point in time.
You can switch from any recovery model to another recovery model, but prior to or after the switch, you may need to issue additional transaction log or full backups to ensure you have a complete backup set.
ALTER DATABASE Pubs SET RECOVERY FULL

Your suggestions are good enough.
I have a 65 GB database which gets updated by additional, new information everyday through a bcp command (takes 15 minutes, data udpated from external .txt file). Users access the database for queries only. I really don't need any recovery since if the bulk insert fails one day, I can redo it in 15 minutes.
How do I see what my recovery model is, switch it to Simple (because my LDF log file is 21 GB and growing and I have only 20 GB left on my server). At this rate I might run out of disk space in 6 months or less. Then I need to truncate this huge file and get the space.
Many thanks

Hi Sri Sunkara,
how do you revert the BACKUP LOG WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY in SQL Server 2005?
correction in full recovery Model.
it should be full recovery in stand of bulk logged
* full recovery activities are intermixed with normal transaction processing.
Hi DBA's
I have some trouble in accessing the secondary filegroup tables after a RESTORE.
Here is my process.
with SQL 2005 Express, I have a table with 20+ tables in PRIMARY filegroup and 1 Table for Images in SECONDARY filegroup.
For the ease of file transfer, i backup the database with PRIMARY filegroup only.
And When i restore the backup with RESTORE mydb FILEGROUP='PRIMARY' WITH PARTIAL option, i can access the datafiles in primary files. BUT the image table which is in SECONDARY filegroup as i have not backed it and nor restored. I get an error …
"The query processor is unable to produce a plan for the table or view 'prodImages' because the table resides in a filegroup which is not online."
My question is, it there any way that i can still access the image table from secondary filegroup EVEN I HAVE RESTORED PRIMARY filegroup only.
Is it possible in any way..
I find many DBA's insist on using FULL recovery models with regular log file backups. Personally I find this is quite often overkill and possibly used by DBA's is this is what they are taught on most SQL courses. However that is only because there is hardly anything to teach about SIMPLE recovery models and people seem to forget that this is a valid option to use in many cases.
Naturally it depends on what the database is used for. If used for financial transactions or on a live voting system, then FULL backups are probably more crucial.
If your SQL server runs a website where you perhaps enter a few comments in your blog once a week and then have others make comments on your blog. Then you could probably afford to go without transaction log backup. In some cases I have even found WCMS systems running their own backups within the Web based system. Because of the complexity of some of these systems, their own backup systems are far better than running a SQL backup as they sometimes span various tables on various databases and if you had to restore one database whilst another is out of synch, the whole website becomes unavailable. Therefore running full backups with transaction log backups merely slows the system down for no benefit as those backups will never realistically be used for restore.
I think it is therefore usefull to point out when Simple recovery models are suitable and give a few examples of where they can be used.
In addition to the points you listed above I would add
– The data is not critical and can easily be recreated
– The data is used for test or development, or a snapshot for reporting
– Data is static and does not change
– Losing any or all transactions since the last backup is not a problem
– Data is derived and can easily be recreated
– Customer agrees that nightly backups are suitable
In some cases when a data loss occured, I have spent many hours (even on finance systems), recovering a database to a point in time only to find that at that point, the database had already suffered the loss of data. I then spent more and more time going to different points in time to find the exact time at which data loss occured. By the time I had finished another day had passed and the amount of transactions lost during this time was more than the number of transactions I would have lost by simply going back to the previous nights full backup, restoring the system and issuing an apology explaing the system failure and asking customers to re-post their transactions.
The question is therefore truly, is data loss really that bad? Ultimately I think there should be some sort of matrix assessment to establish whether a simple recovery model does not outweigh the performance hit and trouble of running FULL backups with regular log file backups.
Since must serious systems today tend to be using RAID5, the chances are you are only ever going to restore when data is accidently deleted, rather than when a disk failure occurs.

Bang band you're dead - This has to be one of my favourite blushes ever. It's formula is great for blending. One swipe of a brush picks up a lot of product but it's so light on the skin. It doubles as a highlighter so you could also layer it over a deeper blush.

They'll more than likely do a vaginal ultrasound to see how far along you are and to check on the baby. Maybe a papsmear? Again good luck and keep us posted! Oh and when u find out when ur due you should check out your due date club on justmommies!

text: Isn't she lovely? The leather is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderfully thick, slightly shiny, and distressed. It took me 2 exchanges until the SAs at BalNY finally understood what kind of leather I wanted. I'm assuming with constant use over time, the leather will become less shiny and more matte. I can't wait! 1st Picture- In daylight with no flash. It is the most accurate color depiction of a tomato red twiggy. A beautiful, true red with no blue or orange undertones. 2nd Picture- With flash. The leather on the backside of my twiggy looks so chewy! 3rd Picture- Without flash in dark light. Looks almost like a rouge vif. I love how the twiggy slouches ever so casually. I love love love it! . The leather is almost like 2005 but shinier. This is my first b-bag and I'm certain it won't be the last. It took me so long to find the right color/leather (and the right SA- thanks Kim!). I'll have more pictures in the future of me wearing it. But for now, enjoy!

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf NA-245 candidate Amjadullah Khan who had stepped down from in favour of MQM hours before polling began, responded to allegations hurled against him during a press conference held on Thursday.
"I have joined the MQM of my own will. I have not been bribed. The PPP should refrain from childish politics," he said, refuting Pakistan People's Party claim that he had withdrawn for financial incentive.
He said he owned a profitable industry and was financially well off. "I and my family are well-fed. I don't have to change loyalties for money," he said.
He said that he had joined the PTI because he was impressed by Imran Khan. But was disappointed by the PTI Karachi leadership, and so had left the party. "Even though I was running the campaign for NA-245 Imran Khan did not call or contact me even once."
He added that last night workers from the PTI came to his house and took statements from his family under duress. "Please do not believe any of those statements," he said.
Supporting Amjadullah MQM leader Farooq Sattar said that Amjadullah had joined MQM because he had received "love in the party".

My name is Ebba, a 24 years old Swedish business and advertising student at Curtin University. I'm looking for a room and friendly housemates to live with for another semester here in Perth. I'm easy going, joyful and social person that loves to go horseback riding, hang out with friends and drink a glass of wine (or maybe three) on the weekends. And of course, I would offer to cook some Swedish meatballs!
Since I have had my own apartment back in Stockholm for almost five years, I know everything about to keep it clean around me. And of course respect my neighbours (I promise not to play ABBA too loud or too often!).

1. Technical Field
The invention relates to data communications method and protocol for extending the length of a multi-bit parallel data bus.
2. Background Art
One of the best-known parallel data bus standards is IEEE-488. This standard sets forth the organization and protocol for data transfer between components of a data system, such as an instrumentation system, where data is gathered and recorded or processed. The IEEE-488 bus uses 16 signal lines of which 8 lines are reserved for data, and 8 other lines are used for other messages, both the data and the other messages being transferred in a parallel manner.
One of the problems encountered with parallel buses is that their length is limited by transmission characteristics of the individual wires. Over short distances these characteristics, such as cross-talk and bandwidth limitations are insignificant. However, over distances of tens of meters and greater these are magnified such that errors in transferred bits become apparent.
In the prior art, others have realized that by temporarily converting a parallel data stream to a serial stream, and then back again, a parallel bus maybe extended. For example, see the article entitled "Serial Extension of the IEEE-488 Interface Bus" in Electronic Product Design, Vol. 3, No. 7, July, 1982 p. 41-3.
While some serial bus extenders use modems and telephone lines, they are limited in speed to telephone line bandwidths, about 10 KHz at best. On the other hand, a normal data rate for a parallel bus is on the order of tens of kilobytes per second. A problem of prior art serial bus extenders is that the data rate is too slow.
A typical prior art approach involves taking the parallel 16-bit pattern and arranging it into a data frame of more than 16 bits for serial transmission. Typically, such a prior art frame has a start bit, the 16 parallel bits serially arranged, plus several local message bits, a number of parity bits, followed by a stop bit. Thus, a prior art frame is rather larger in size. Frequently only local message bits will change from frame to frame and so there is a significant amount of redundancy. This redundancy becomes a bottleneck which limits the rate of flow of data on a bus.
An object of the invention was to increase the efficiency of a parallel bus extender by providing a new communications protocol. Another object of the invention was to find a method of decomposing frames derived from parallel data buses in a manner for efficient serial transmission of data and then reconstructing the original frame.
The above objects have been met by a bus extender which speeds data transfer by providing a new communications protocol which features a three-bit local message. The local message reports the state of the bus extender from a local extender to a remote extender and vice-versa. With more specific local messages, a more efficient handshaking protocol is provided between local and remote stations. The new extender also decomposes parallel frames derived from a bus such as an IEEE-488 bus. The decomposed frame is split into a data sub-frame and a management sub-frame. The data sub-frame principally includes the data bits plus a name tag, identifying the sub-frame as a data sub-frame. Another sub-frame is formed from management bits and also tagged to identify the sub-frame.
Local and remote terminals are provided, with each terminal terminating a parallel bus and connected by means of a serial half duplex communications link. It is assumed herein that a local device is transferring data to a remote device. In order to transmit data over the serial link, the local and remote terminals exchange management sub-frames, thereby starting the transmission process. A data sub-frame is then transmitted from the local to the remote location and a management sub-frame is returned from the remote location indicating satisfactory receipt of the data sub-frame. This exchange of sub-frames is termed a hand shaking procedure which assures that the remote location is not sent data until it is ready to receive it and also assures receipt of the data. The hand shaking procedure using these smaller size sub-frames is done at high speed and since there is no redundancy, there is an overall improvement in communications efficiency, allowing greater data transfer speeds.
Besides the data and management sub-frames, two other sub-frames may be used. A polling sub-frame may be used while a parallel poll is executed. Another sub-frame which may be provided is an error sub-frame in the event that a serial transmission error occurs. For example, if electrical noise distorts the serial stream, an error sub-frame is transmitted causing repetition of the transmission procedure.
At both local and remote stations, parallel frames are reconstructed using the reverse procedure from their decomposition. Parity and message code bits are discarded since their function has been served. The original management and data bits are reassembled into a single data frame with placement of the bits in the same order as they originally appeared at the other terminal. The new frame is then placed on the data bus, with all bits in parallel.
One of the advantages of the serial transmission procedure of the present invention is greater transmission speed and efficiency than possible in the prior art.
FIG. 1 illustrates a parallel data bus of the prior art.
FIG. 2 is a simplified schematic plan for a pair of bus extenders in accord with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of information sub-frames in accord with the present invention.
FIGS. 4a and 4b are a detailed plan view of a single bus extender in accord with the present invention. FIGS. 4a and 4b are intended to be connected together along lines a--a, b--b, c--c, d--d, and e--e.
With reference to FIG. 1, a parallel, 16-line bus 11 is illustrated. The bus illustrated in an IEEE-488 bus having various communicating devices 13, 15, 17, 19 connected thereto. Some of these devices are able to talk, listen and control the bus. Other devices may be able to only talk and listen or only able to listen or only able to talk. Usually one of the devices has the capability of system control. Sometimes more than one device has the ability of bus operation control. All of the bus controllers except one should be inactive.
Five lines of the bus, 21, are for general interface management. These lines are labeled IFC for interface clear, ATN for attention, SRQ for service request, REN for remote enable and EOI for end or identify.
Three additional lines 23 are used for data byte transfer control. These are usually labeled DAV for data available, NRFD for not ready for data and NDAC no data acknowledged.
Lines 25 are 8 parallel data lines handling parallel data bits. This configuration is the standard IEEE-488 data bus. However, the present invention is not restricted to this bus and may be applied to other parallel line buses.
The simplified block diagram of FIG. 2 indicates the organization of the databus extender of the present invention. Parallel data arrives on a databus, such as an IEEE-488 bus, indicated by arrow 31. Transceiver 30 contains both a transmit section and a receive section. It is identical in construction to a distant transceiver 40. The transmit section of one transceiver communicates with the receive section of the other transceiver and vice versa. One of the stations is usually termed the local station and the other station termed the remote station, but the stations are interchangeable in all respects. Typically, a bus such as parallel bus 31, is terminated with proper impedance matching networks and then the incoming bits are regenerated in a bus interface 33. The incoming data word is decomposed with transmit latch logic 35 into a data portion and a management portion. The data portion is organized into a data sub-frame in encoder 37 while the management portion is encoded into a management sub-frame in the same encoder. These sub-frames are sent to a transmit shift register 39 where serial organization is complete. A transmitter 41 functions as a serial line driver over the communications link 43.
Transceiver 40 has a data receiving section 45 which receives serial data from line 43 and transmits it to receive shift register 47. Sub-frames are then transmitted to decoder 49 where the sub-frames are stripped of temporary coding supplied by encoder 37 and then transmitted to receive latch 51. This latch assembles frames as originally sent on bus 31 for transfer to bus interface 53. Bus interface 53 regenerates the frame for transfer on parallel bus 55. Transceiver 40 also contains a transmitter section for communicating with receiver section of transceiver 30. The receive section 32 of transceiver 30 is identical to the previously described receive section of transceiver 40. Similarly, the transmit section 34 of transceiver 40 is identical to the previously described transmit section of transceiver 30.
FIG. 3 illustrates the organization of data bits in a sub-frame. Sub-frame 61 merely indicates that each sub-frame comprises 15 binary bits. A first type of sub-frame used in accord with the present invention is data pattern 63 comprising a start bit 65 in the first bit position, a message code occupying the next two bits 67, 68, data bits 69 occupying the next 8 bit positions, 3 partity bits 71 and a stop bit 73. Message code 67 is a special tag which identifies the data pattern as one of four possible patterns. The message code is applied at one end, such as in a transmitter section and removed at another end in the receiver section.
Another sub-frame 75 is a management pattern. This sub-frame has a similar structure including a start bit 77, a message code 79, a local message 81 consisting of three binary bits. These bits are labeled "rfd," "nba" and "rfn." The purpose of these bits is to coordinate handshaking between the local and remote station. These bits are highly significant because they establish a new communications protocol. The bit labeled "rfd" means "ready for data"; the bit labeled "nba" means "new byte available"; the bit "rfn" means "ready for next byte." While the first two bits have been used in the prior art, the combination of these two with a new bit, "rfn" eliminates the need for four sub-frame shuttles per frame. With three local message bits, only two shuttles per frame are required. Examples using these bits are in the Table below. The next 5 bits 83 represent management data which was derived from the original bus data. The five bits include "REN" for remote enable, "EOI" for end or identify, "SRQ" for service request, "ATN" for attention and "IFC" for interface clear. These management bits carry the data shown on lines 21 in FIG. 1. The management bits are followed by three parity bits 85 followed by a stop bit 87.
A third type of sub-frame is a parallel poll pattern represented by sub-frame 91. This sub-frame includes a start bit 93, followed by a two-bit message code 95, in turn followed by 8 poll bits 97. The poll bits are usually requested and obtained by the bus controller from the instruments or other devices on the data bus. These bits are followed by the three parity bits 99 and a stop bit 101.
The fourth type of sub-frame is an error pattern sub-frame. Such a sub-frame consists of a start bit 103, followed by a two-bit message code 105, followed by 8 arbitrary bits 107, three parity bits 109 and a stop bit 111. The main function of the error pattern is to bear the message code 105 which automatically indicates that an error has occurred. Note that the two bits of the message code are sufficient to designate four different messages. The message codes are a tag which are applied to each sub-frame designating its function. The present invention creates a high-speed shuttle of sub-frames which convey management information, thereby establishing a handshaking protocol, then transmitting data in a data sub-frame and then assuring that the data has been received.
With reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b, a more detailed block diagram of transceiver 40 of FIG. 2 is shown. The transceiver includes an input/output section, or a serial section 107 in FIG. 4a and a parallel or bus section 109 in FIG. 4b. With reference to FIG. 4a, the serial section includes a serial link 44a and 44b which is shown to be a pair of optical cables each transmitting in a direction opposite to the other, or alternatively a bi-directional coaxial cable 46. The optical cables are connected to a respective optical coupler 48a and an optical driver 48b. In the case of a coaxial cable, the cable is terminated in one direction into coax coupler 50a and in the other direction to coax driver 50b. A switch 52 selects which of the paths is to be used. The respective couplers convert incoming signals from the serial link to electrical signals suitable for transmission on a printed circuit board. Once selected, incoming data is transmitted to a start bit detector 111. The start bit detector continuously looks for a start bit to synchronize receive state control 113. The receive state control clocks the receive shift register 115 as well as serial handshake logic 120 in FIG. 4b. The receive state control also clocks the parity check 117 to detect any transmission errors. Should the parity check fail, the input frame will be discarded and an error pattern sub-frame sent back to the distant transceiver to resend the message. With reference to FIG. 4b, the receive shift register 115 generates parallel data along bus 119. The receive decoder interprets the message code and any local message for serial handshake logic 120. If a poll pattern has been received in the input frame, serial handshake logic 120 will order poll logic 123 to store the parallel poll response and pass it to bus transceiver 125.
If the input frame is a data sub-frame, serial handshake logic 120 will command the receive data register 127 to accept data from receive shift register 115 and save the status of the 8 data bits and pass it to the bus transceiver along bus 129. The serial handshake logic 120 then commands bus handshake logic 130 to produce a handshake signal on bus 131 for the bus transceiver 125. If the incoming sub-frame is an error pattern sub-frame, serial handshake logic 120 will discard the input frame and inform the transmit state control 133 to send the prior pattern once again.
If the input pattern is a management pattern with local message rfn=1, serial handshake logic will not interfere with the NRFD signal on the bus. If rfn=0 after receiving a data sub-frame, the serial handshake logic will set the NRFD signal low true if the bus handshake logic 130 is in acceptor handshake and the bus controller location output DC=0. DC=0 means the bus extender is at the bus controller side.
If the input pattern is a management pattern with local message nba=1, the serial handshake logic will always order the receive signal register 134 to store the valid IFC status; and it will ignore the REN, ATN, SRQ and EOI status unless the bus handshake logic 130 is ready for a new byte source handshake. If the bus handshake logic 130 is ready for a new parallel data byte handshake, the serial handshake logic 120 will order the receive signal register 134 to store the valid status of all the five management lines, order the bus handshake logic 130 to prepare for a source handshake, and enable the "rfd" bit at the transmit encoder. Then, the serial handshake logic 120 will enable the transmit encoder 132 and transmit signal register 147 and order the transmit state control 133 to send a management pattern with rfd=1 in return.
If the input pattern is a management pattern with rfd=1, the serial handshake logic 120 will store the valid SRQ, EOI, ATN, IFC and REN status, enable the transmit data register 149 and order the transmit state control 133 to send a data pattern in return.
The receive signal latch logic 135 interfaces between the receive signal register 134 and bus transceiver 125 according to the information from the system controller location 137, bus controller location 139 and EOI direction control 141. The receive signal latch logic 135 only allows the valid management line status to flow from the receive signal register 134 to the bus transceiver 125 by breaking the invalid status communications.
The transmit signal latch logic 145 interfaces between the transmit signal register 147 and bus transceiver 125. Upon receiving the control information from the system controller location 137, bus controller location 139 and EOI direction control 141, it only allows the valid management line status to flow from the bus transceiver 125 to the transmit signal register 147.
The system controller location 137 determines which transceiver in a connected pair sent IFC or REN via the serial link. Only one of the devices on the IEEE 488 bus can be the system controller and eligible to send IFC and REN messages. At power-on, the system controller location 137 output is reset (SC=0) and the serial transmissions of REN and IFC are enabled. The transceiver receiving IFC or REN true from the serial link will set SC=1 and prohibit the serial transmissions for IFC and REN messages.
Bus controller location 139 determines which transceiver in a connected pair sent ATN true last. This is used for passing control from one controller to another and specifying the flow directions of ATN, SRQ and EOI messages. At power-on, the bus controller loation 139 output is reset, DC=0 and the serial transmission of ATN message is enabled. The transceiver receiving ATN true from the serial link will set DC=1 and prohibit the serial transmission for ATN message. An ATN true originating from a bus controller on the IEEE bus will reset that side's bus extender's bus controller location to DC=0 and enable the serial transmission of an ATN message. This enables the bus controller in charge to pass control to the other bus controller at the other end of the cable.
The EOI direction control 141 specifies the flow direction of EOI message according to the bus controller location 137 output, bus handshake logic 130 state and the level of ATN message.
The parallel poll logic 123 detects the parallel poll request and sends the parallel poll response. During a parallel poll, the bus controller activates ATN and EOI in the local station. In the remote station, the parallel poll logic detects the request and, after a timeout of 5 μS, informs the serial handshake logic to send back the parallel poll pattern. The local station, after the serial transmission delays, passes the parallel poll response to the bus controller.
The transmit state control 133 clocks the transmit shift register 136 to convert the parallel frame into a serial frame. Simultaneously, the transmit state control 133 clocks the transmit parity generator 138 to generate the parity bits.
Operation of the invention is exemplified by the following Table:

In the Table, the first example is a local bus controller outputting commands to a remote talker and the second, the remote talker sending data to the bus controller. It is very important to note that while the local bus controller is outputting a command or data, or a local device is talking to another local device, the rfn of the local message in the management pattern sub-frame is ignored to improve the protocol speed. While the bus controller is outputting a command or data, no device can stop it. While a local device is talking to another device, the remote station responds as receiving command or data from the local bus controller. Only the bus controller can stop a talker or listener and the rfn of the local message is designed for the bus controller to stop a remote talker. For example, the transceiver station at the bus controller side receives a data pattern carrying a message terminator from a multi-message-stored talker on the remote bus; it may send the remote station a management pattern with rfn=0 to complete the serial protocol for that parallel data byte transfer and inform the remote talker to hold on the talking. Then the bus controller can output an UNTALK command to stop the remote talker.
As shown in the Table, while power turns on or the bus is idle, the bus handshake logic is reset to the acceptor handshake and the NDAC is set true and the NRFD is set false.
In Example 1, the bus controller initiates a parallel bus data byte transfer by setting the local bus DAV true. The local transceiver station responds by setting both the NDAC and the NRFD true and sending a management patern with nba=1. Upon receipt of nba=1, the remote transceiver station puts the bus handshake logic in the source handshake, sets the DAV false, and returns a management pattern with rfd=1 if the remote bus NRFD is false and NDAC is true. The local transceiver station will then send a data pattern and set the local NDAC false and NRFD true. As soon as the remote station receives the data pattern, it will send a management pattern with nba=0 and rfd=0 immediately. At the same time, the remote transceiver station passes the status of the data input/output lines to the remote bus and sets the DAV true if the NRFD is false and NDAC is true. Then, the remote transceiver station will set DAV false and reset the serial handshake logic and bus handshake logic for the next parallel data byte transfer if the remote bus NDAC turns false. Upon the receipt of the nba=0 and rfd=0, the local transceiver station will set NDAC and NRFD true if DAV turns false and then set NDAC true and NRFD false and wait for the next parallel data byte transfer.
The cycle repeats as the parallel bus data transfer continues. No step in this sequence can be initiated until the previous step is complete. Thus, parallel bus data transfer can proceed as fast as the involved parallel bus devices can respond, but not faster than the slowest device involved.
If a high speed device is talking on the parallel bus to a low speed device, or vice-versa, serial shuttles continue with the same patterns awaiting the next step of the serial handshaking protocol.
Example 2 shows a remote talker outputting parallel bus data to the bus controller on the local bus. The remote talker initiates the transfer by setting the DAV true. As shown in Example 1, four serial transmissions are required for each parallel data byte transfer; but there are two differences in the protocols between Example 1 and 2. The first difference is that the rfn bit of local message in Example 2 is not always a "don't care" bit. The second difference is in Example 2, when the transceiver station at the bus controller side receives the data pattern from the remote transceiver station, it may return a management pattern until the local bus NRFD turns false or after a wait of 5 μS, whichever occurs first.
In Example 1, the RFN bit of the local message in a management pattern is always ignored. This is because while the bus controller is outputting parallel bus data, the listener addressed will accept whatever parallel bus data the bus controller sends. However, in Example 2, the bus controller may need to interrupt the talker if a message terminator, e.g. CR, LF, or EOI on is received. The fourth serial transmission is the last transmission for a parallel bus data byte transfer. If the bus controller needs to interrupt the talker from talking, the transceiver station at bus controller side, after it receives a data sub-frame, can send the management pattern with rfn=0 to complete that data byte transfer and hold off the talker; then the bus controller can output an UNTALK command to stop the talker from talking. If the local station sends rfn=1 in the fourth serial transmission, the remote transceiver may return a management pattern with nba=1 to initiate next parallel data byte transfer if it has data to send.
It will be realized from the description herein that the local and remote stations are transparent to the parallel bus. Data arriving on a parallel bus is decomposed by a local transceiver station and reassembled at the remote transceiver station and retrainsmitted on a parallel bus. The same process occurs in reverse at the remote transceiver station back to the local transceiver station. The parallel bus has no indication that decomposition of a data frame and reassembly of the frame has occurred since the parallel bus is asynchronous.

As far as I know, there's no financial-markets law saying that if some countries get a credit-rating downgrade, then others must get a credit-rating upgrade to keep the system in balance.
But right now it seems to be working that way.
The past year has brought credit-rating downgrades to Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Greece, and credit-watch warnings to the United Kingdom and Mexico.
And it has brought credit-rating upgrades to Brazil, Peru, Turkey and Indonesia, and credit-outlook improvements to Russia and India.
See a pattern here?
Some of the world's developed economies are getting downgrades. If you included the U.K. and Mexico, I'd change my language slightly to say that many of the financial markets that U.S. investors know best are in trouble with the credit-rating agencies.
(For more on the chances that the United Kingdom will get a credit-rating downgrade http://jubakpicks.com/2010/01/08/the-next-financial-crisis-has-a-name-and-its-the-united-kingdom/ .For a look at Japan's financial problems, see my post http://jubakpicks.com/2010/01/07/is-japan-betting-its-future-on-a-new-weak-yen-policy/ .)
Meanwhile, countries that have been off the radar screen for decades are getting upgrades. When Brazil got its upgrade from Moody's in September, it marked the first time that the country had an investment-grade rating from all three of the big U.S. credit rating companies.
Frankly, I don't know what's more shocking: the prospect that the United Kingdom could lose its AAA rating in 2010 or that Peru earned an investment-grade rating in December.
You might scoff at the source of these ratings. These are the same companies — Moody's, Standard & Poor's , and Fitch Ratings — that missed the deterioration in credit quality in the run-up to the U.S. mortgage-backed-securities bust.
You certainly should question whether bond investors have let some of these ratings go straight to their heads, resulting in some questionable pricing based on turning current events into long-term trends. For example, the five-year credit default swaps that are a way to insure against a default by Indonesia are priced just 0.01 percentage point above those for Greece, even though Greece has a current credit rating four notches higher than Indonesia's.
And credit-rating companies do tend to grade on a scale. If the United States and the United Kingdom are still AAA-rated risks these days, how can Brazil's investment-grade status even be a question?
But there's enough reality to these upgrades and downgrades that I think we're looking at a long-term trend. It may not be the world turned upside down, but it's close enough that investors need to re-engineer their portfolios to take it into account.
After I expend a few words in an attempt to convince you that there's more here than Wall Street hyping another investment strategy, I'll give you some suggestions on how to incorporate this new world into your portfolio.
Peru is a great example — and probably a story that you don't yet know by heart — of the reality that lies behind these changes in credit ratings. On Dec. 15, Moody's became the last of the big three credit-rating companies to raise Peru's sovereign debt to investment-grade. Luis Carranza, Peru's finance minister, announced the upgrade at a news conference that essentially boiled down to "What took you so long, Moody's?" Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's had upgraded Peru in 2008.
Certainly Moody's had plenty of evidence to work with, Carranza noted. At the start of the decade, Peru's national debt equaled 50% of the country's gross domestic product. It now stands at just 25%. (The United States is on track to finish fiscal 2011, ending Sept. 30, 2011, with a debt equal to 98% of GDP, according to the International Monetary Fund.
About 40% of Peru's debt is denominated in the national currency, the sol. A decade ago, almost all of the country's debt was denominated in dollars. With debt denominated in its own currency, Peru is a lot less susceptible to a financial crisis caused by U.S. dollars fleeing the country. Economic growth, which had dropped to 1% in 2009 from 10% in 2008, will climb to 5% in 2010, Goldman Sachs projects. Inflation, which ran at 0.25% in 2009, should pick up modestly this year.

About 40% of Peru's debt is denominated in the national currency, the nuevo sol. A decade ago, almost all of the country's debt was denominated in dollars. With debt denominated in its own currency, Peru is a lot less susceptible to a financial crisis caused by U.S. dollars fleeing the country. Economic growth, which had dropped to 1% in 2009 from 10% in 2008, will climb to 5% in 2010, Goldman Sachs projects. Inflation, which ran at 0.25% in 2009, should pick up modestly this year.
Not that Peru's perfect now. The economy is still heavily concentrated in mining, timber and oil and gas production, industries known for their boom-and-bust cycles. Development is highly uneven; the bulk of the wealth is going to the coastal region at the expense of the much poorer interior. The poverty rate has plunged from 50% in 2003 but still stands near 35%. Conflicts between indigenous groups — half the people in Peru identify themselves as members of an indigenous group — and the central government over control of development in the interior, and resulting profits, haven't gone away.
(Peru, I want to note, is the only country in Latin America to sign on to the Blair. The goal of the project is to make it easier to monitor cash flows from energy and mining companies to local and national governments.)
Like Indonesia and Brazil, Peru is a country that didn't appear on the global financial map for decades. And now it does.
What does this mean to you, if you're an investor in the United States or one of the other developed economies of the world? Three things:
- You need to expand your world map. Peru didn't used to count. Its economy couldn't put two good years together. Its debt wasn't anything you wanted to own. It didn't matter if you couldn't name a single Peruvian company. Your portfolio wasn't missing anything. And that was true of countries such as Brazil and Indonesia that have much bigger populations and take up an even bigger chunk of global real estate than Peru does. You could afford to ignore them. I don't think that's true any longer.
- You need to put a dollop — a modest spoonful to start — of emerging-market debt into your portfolio. Include it as part of whatever you allocate to bonds and fixed income assets now. Emerging-market bonds pay higher yields than developed-country bonds, and these countries are earning credit-quality upgrades instead of facing capital-destroying downgrades. Don't go overboard, and don't go crazy trying to analyze this paper for yourself. Use a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund. Two funds to consider are Fidelity New Markets Income (FNMIX)) and Pimco Emerging Markets Bond D (PEMDX). For an ETF, take a look at iShares JPMorgan USD Emerging Markets Bond (EMB ).
- Think about the effect of a rising credit rating on not just a country's bonds but on its stock market, too. A higher credit rating means lower interest rates — by and large positive for a national stock market. It means easier access to capital and lower capital costs for a country's companies — which makes expansion easier and, by cutting interest payments, increases earnings. And an improved credit rating is shorthand for a government budget that's under control and doesn't require tax increases and/or rising interest rates that damp economic growth. An improving credit rating should put a country's equities, as well as its bonds, on your investing radar screen. Again, I think a good first step, if you're new to emerging-market investing, is an ETF such as the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM).
But an emerging-market equity index has some drawbacks that you should consider as you gain experience in this part of the global equity market. Because the index is weighted by market capitalization, a buyer gets a very heavy dose of the biggest names in each emerging market. And because those big-cap stocks tend to be concentrated in a few industries — mining and telecommunications services, for example — buying the index gives you more concentration in a few industries than you might like, or more than your portfolio will appreciate if the cycle turns against a heavily cyclical industry such as mining. You'll also wind up light on smaller and more-innovative companies in these emerging economies.
I'll be writing about some of those smaller, harder-to-find — and often less expensive — companies in the weeks to come.

First of all, apologies for the second post in a row that's basically a listicle.
But the form is just right for what I want to do today, which is to share with all of you the best things about this day.
I decided a few months ago I wasn't gonna celebrate this birthday the way I celebrate most of them. Forty six was the last birthday my dad ever had. My heart just kept talking to me about that whenever I thought about this birthday. I'll celebrate 47 in the usual way – including my helpful emails to friends reminding them IT'S COMING! – but this one has been special in a totally different, much more quiet way. Having low expectations often works in our favor and today just proves that. So, I'll tell you about my day in a form best exemplified by the inimitable John Waters in one of my favorite essays of all time, "Puff Piece (101 Things I Love)". I don't know if I could link to it even if I wanted to, but I don't want to because I want you instead to buy his book Crackpot.
I slept late (1) – really late – and woke up to find a table already set with a breakfast that included strawberries (2) and sausage (3) and a hot cup of coffee (4). My sweet little girl (5) prepared this unexpected feast for me because she knows I love a good breakfast (6).
Alongside my treats were a couple of beautifully wrapped presents (7). The only thing better than a good breakfast is a good breakfast WITH PRESENTS so I opened them right up! Lucy gave me a little packet of blueberry face wipes – they're called "Age Refresh" and I don't even care – along with eucalyptus scented votive candles (8), sparkly votive holders (9) and some lovely chocolate spoons from Alon's (10). Great start to the day.
Once Hannah (11) got up, she presented me with her gift, which was handcrafted, fancy-schmancy dark chocolate sticks. These chocolate gifts sort of crack me up. Because I don't even really care that much about chocolate. But I guess in pop culture (12), moms go bananas for chocolate and this is where my kids got the idea to get me expensive candy. No complaints.
For weeks I've been wanting to pressure wash my front porch (13) and when the girls asked me what I wanted to do today, I told them I wanted their help with pressure washing. Their confused faces (14) told me this wasn't what they expected but they couldn't say no (15)! We pressure washed the damn thing so thoroughly that I even took off some paint, but I don't care because it's all fresh and clean (16) and pretty now. Lucy rode her bike to pick up lunch from the coffee shop and we experienced the singular joy of eating outdoors (added after, too lazy to reorder all the numbers).
We finished our chore around 2 o'clock and I decided to take a mid-day shower (17). Just like day drinking, a daytime shower is basically a declaration that you are a BOSS (18) and can do what you want (19) when you want to (20). I took my time lotioning up at a leisurely pace (21) and used my favorite hair product (22), Moroccan Oil Curl Control. That scent (23)!
My fingernails were looking a little ragged after the hours spent on the front porch so I decided to treat myself to a cheap mani (24). I went to a local (25) chop shop and got one of my all-time favorite colors, Essie's "Ballet Slippers" (26). I left the salon too early, so of course one nail is already jacked but who cares? I came home to find that my Lucy had DVRed "I Love Lucy" (27) so together we watched the episode titled "The New Neighbors" in which Lucy thinks the new tenants are murderers. Naturally, hijinks (28) ensue. By the way, Nicki Minaj, you owe the estate of Lucille Ball Arnaz a check because every face you make was on "I Love Lucy" way before you were born.
That show is special to me for so many reasons. When I was in the first grade, I used to walk home to my granny (29) and grandaddy's (30) house after school. Granny and I would watch Lucy and eat ice cream (31) or Queen Anne cherries (32) and laugh our heads off (33). It was during one of those afternoon TV times that she told me not to tell anyone but that I would always be her favorite (34). SUCK IT, COUSINS. Many years later, halfway through my third day of trying to induce the birth of my second child, my then-husband turned the hospital room TV to an "I Love Lucy" marathon, which I vowed to watch until that damn kid got here. And I did. And she did. And her name is Lucy.
After a few minutes checking my birthday wishes (35) on Facebook (36) – nice job this year, guys – I decided to call my mom (37). Her birthday is just a few days after mine. Every year I think about what it must have been like to be 18 years old and holding your newborn as you turn 19. Crazy. A little bit of serendipity brought my gift to her to her door while we were talking. I got her the Humans of New York (38) book and I know she'll love it.
It's now a bit after 6 and I'm enjoying a glass of wine (39). I plan to spend the rest of this birthday enjoying the incredible beauty of a fall (40) evening (41) in Atlanta (42). I will spend a few minutes or more thinking about my dad's (43) last birthday and how lucky I am to have a loving and inspiring extended family (44) and truly amazing friends (45).
I'm lucky to have so much love (46) in my life. Thanks for reading.

Eagle Cam Update: They're getting big!
I wrote a week or so ago about the Eagle nest cam in Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virgina. The three babies are getting big! They are just starting to get their real feathers along their back now. It is so interesting to see an adult beak on the fluffy babies. One of them was sitting up looking around this morning so you could really get a good look at him. Like many others, I was checking to see that they all made it through the terrible storms from last night.
It's an awesome chance to see eagle babies and the adults up close and in action. If you are an artist, it's a terrific opportunity to observe the eagles up close in their natural habitat.
If you look on the right, below the camera link, you'll find slide show of photos of the whole family. Including this one:

Dividend Millionaire Numbers Grow ({{commentsTotal}})
The number of people who earned a million or more euros from dividends grew to 29 last year, from only 20 a year earlier.
Sergei Petrov, who is in the transit business, took out 7.3 million euros to head the table, pushing last year's winner, casino operator Armin Karu (4.5 million euros) to second place, Äripäev reported today.
Sergei Glinka and Maksim Liksutov, co-owners of a transit company, tied for third with 2.8 million, followed by Vjatseslav Rabotsev (telecommunications, 2.7 million) and Alar Tamming (currency exchange, 2.3 million euros).

Can Student Loans Be Discharged When Filing Bankruptcy? —
In most cases, student loans survive a bankruptcy, and the debtor must repay the student loans even though he or she has received a bankruptcy discharge. This is true whether the debtor files a Chapter 7 case or a Chapter 13 case. Student loans are unsecured debts; however, they are not typically subject to the discharge like other unsecured debts, such as medical bills and credit card accounts.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, the student loan company cannot force the debtor to pay the student loan payments until the Chapter 13 case has ended. The student loan company will be paid a portion of the debt through the Chapter 13 plan at the same percentage as all other unsecured creditors. At the end of the Chapter 13 case, the debtor must resume the regular monthly payments to the student loan company.
Students Loans May Be Dischargeable Under Some Circumstances
Discharging student loans through bankruptcy is a complicated process; however, there are situations where student loans may be discharged. A bankruptcy attorney with experience discharging student loans must file the appropriate motions with the bankruptcy court and ensure that the debtor meets all of the requirements to discharge student loans.
It is completely at the discretion of the bankruptcy judge whether the student loans will be dischargeable. The debtor must prove to the court that paying the student loans would constitute an undue hardship. Most bankruptcy judges use the following three-part test as a guideline to determine if a debtor meets the undue hardship burden to be granted a discharge of his or her student loans.
- If the debtor is required to repay his student loans, will he be unable to maintain a minimal standard of living for himself and his dependants?
- Will the debtor's current financial state continue indefinitely or at least for a significant portion of the repayment period of the student loans?
- Did the debtor make a good faith effort to repay the student loans? (Many judges believe that a good faith effort is paying the minimum monthly payments on student loans for at least five years prior to the filing of the bankruptcy.)
Debtors who are able to meet all of the requirements may be entitled to a discharge of their student loans. However, it is difficult to convince a judge that a debtor meets the requirement of undue hardship unless the debtor's financial situation is dire and likely to continue (e.g. a debtor is injured in an accident, is now receiving Social Security disability, and will never be able to work again).

We Issue 5 Journal editors meet together at this brown kitchen table, often with wine or beer. Sometimes in the middle of our meeting, we go outside for cigarette breaks. We talk to explore ways of action and to agree on what is worth printing for you. It is difficult to schedule meeting times. With jobs, childcare, social lives and private time, it seems like we are always finding that one shelf spot behind the raisins to place this project. We frequently disagree on the simplest of terms (language and exchange); when disagreeing we try hard not to see conflict as a problem. We've all shared significant experience. We share a desire for social change and visions of the many ways in which it may or may not occur. When speaking and listening to one another we remember collective histories. We seek contexts to make use of these histories. We try embracing differences, either bridging gaps or gaping at the chasms. Ultimately, we now try to appreciate whatever we have between us.
How do we say we?
Arguably, today the act of social networking is commodified more visibly and materially than ever before, so we are not here lightly focusing on ourselves.
In art production the commodification of the social and the erasure of the political is expressed as relational aesthetics, a pseudo-democratic practice that often is reflective of the values of global capitalism.
However, there is some value to the art world's focus on social relations and community. Collaboratively writing this forward, relational aesthetics came up with the magazine's content. Situating ourselves into a social context is difficult because one is dealing with people's complexities. Recently, the Journal had the opportunity to collaborate with people whose actions we feared might alienate our readership. We faced a tough decision- piss on an opportunity or piss off our community. We decided to check in with our community; asking them, "what do you think about this situation…", thus choosing to act as though someone holds us accountable. In printing our magazine the important thing is the relationship- building up and maintaining value in the trust that others put in each other toward shared ideals.
How can we work together?
On the occasion of our Move! Activate! Remember! residency at Southern Exposure (SoEx) in San Francisco, we organized a conversation that included Patrick Reinsborough of Smartmeme.org, Issue 5 contributors Sarah Lewison and Julie Wyman of BLW, documentarian Sam Green, and new Students for a Democratic Society organizer Joshua Kahn Russell. The panel drew on each speaker's practical knowledge on how historic narratives activate and inform contemporary movements.
According to Joshua, the new SDS is a blossoming organization that is nimbly moving into colleges and high schools across the country. The group has taken on the name of the historic SDS (which tore itself apart in 1969) and in so doing inherited a generations' worth of organizing experience through old SDS members' willing advice. They have also accepted the burden of sorting the old SDS members conflicts. The new SDS' act of organizational appropriation has essentially uncorked a reservoir of knowledge to nurture this new generation of activists.
The Journal editorial collective finds the new SDS' experience inspiring because in a moment when so many are acting out history for multiple reasons, SDS has embodied a living history. SDS is notable because it finds itself accountable to its past to stand for something. In this moment awash in the representation of cultures of dissent (Congress faking out on stopping war funding, counter cultural fashions, many people's economic reality of earning a living through lifestyles, pop music anti-war songs, the DIY media of Youtube etc...) it is refreshing to finally witness the emergence of an apparently effective strategy out of our history.
How do we act?
Social justice and liberation movements have historically reiterated that it is the way we say we (the how) that matters most. In terms of the journal's cultural production, this thought is expressed as a desire for the synthesis of form and content. What kind of internal structures needs to be in place to be able to act quickly yet democratically in face of external oppression? What structures can actively create their way out of patriarchy? For progressive movements to be successful on a wider scale, they need to be answerable to the broad public scrutiny they often place on their enemies.
In Los Angeles, this thought spooled out recently in the city's environmental movement- in the failed struggle to save the South Central Farm (one of the largest publicly owned urban garden in North America) from industrial development. An article, published in the LA Weekly, critically reflected upon the Farm's organizing structure at a time when the farm was fighting for its survival. While we can see this article as weakening the farms' support, it raises a good question, arguably at the wrong time; when the shit hits the fan, it is too easy to default on paternal models of organizing. Issue five writer Paige Sarlin reflects on how the structure of structurelesness is often the normative one.
How do we say we?
This issue is also an investment into our understanding that we can incrementally stand on solid ground through honest communication. We can get together and identify what is possible, to find where solid action within particular contexts can become real.
(Dorit Cypis suggested that a good political practice would be to meet together with strangers on a regular basis and talk about weighty issues. We don't all have to be together on the same page. It's good for everybody.)

After joining I'm a Celebrity, and after getting suspended for leaving her duty as an MP, Nadine Dorries was photographed in Australia working on her tan. This is while there is a backlash over her recent decision and growing public anger.
Ms Dorries justifies her decision by saying that joining the show will help the public better understand her, and in the end, will trust her more. Reportedly, she added that she has never taken a week away during Parliamentary time, whereas a lots of other MPs supposedly have.
The MP was suspended from her post after jetting to Australia.
With her controversial decision to join the TV show hosted by popular duo Ant and Dec, comes speculations that Ms Dorries will be an early target for the show's notorious 'Bushtucker Trials' (which include eating kangaroo testicles and being encased with rats, snakes, and insects).
Ms Dorries said, as quoted by the Mail Online: "I was too busy before going to Australia to dread the trials. But I will try very hard not to break down.
"I knew there would be no food, but to discover there isn't any tea or coffee was a shock. It will freak me out that I won't know if President Obama has won or not."

I'm Asking: Do You Have a Small Spending Weakness?
I'm Asking: Do You Have a Small Spending Weakness?
Small or large, most of us have spending weaknesses — in fact, if you have none, I seriously commend you for your ability to resist temptation. I know which items make you weak in the knees and may drive you to splurge, but like our friend (I wish!) Warren Buffett says, we should keep an eye on the small expenses that can add up.
Do you have any small spending weaknesses, like always buying snacks on the go or buying items conveniently positioned at a store's counter when you're about to pay?
