The last few weeks have been amazing for numerous fishing buffs pursuing fins on the lower peninsula. Especially if they were able to drag their gluteal regions out of the horizontal position at quasi-dark-thirty.
Unless you have a vampire dangling from a branch of your family tree, it won't kill you some of you to start flinging lures around dawn's early light.
It's been nice to put those years of low returns in the review mirror for a while and not be subjected to the old saying that "The fishing was so bad that even the liars didn't catch any."
Since our last get together, spring has tenaciously sunk its choppers deep into the surrounding environment and is hanging in there like a possessed Pitbull.
Gardeners have rototilled, fertilized, seeded and set various plants in hopes they'll produce flowers, shrubs and fruit to morph their yards into exhibitions worthy of features in Better Home and Gardens.
Such idyllic dreams usually dissipate faster than a frog's fart in gale force winds as time skids over the bases and rockets toward a headfirst slide into summer.
Everyone has their opinion of when spring finally announced its royal presence.
Anxious gardeners started scraping aside indolent wisps of minuscule snow berms dawdling beneath the limbs of shrubs probing for a struggling sprout of greenery. If successful, numerous fanatics went storm trooper and invaded any nearby box store hyping flats of young flowers.
I have experienced very few challenges during my graying-hair life that have bestowed the level of angst as the one that I'm currently confronting.
There were some worrisome experiences in the military and plethora of butt puckers while bouncing along the Dalton Highway for years but this dilemma is driving me battier than a millennial with a dead cell phone, only with less drama.
Trying to break in the advanced technology steed that I've named "This %$@#*^% New Computer System" has been a wilder ride than expected.
The second month of the year has always been a sneaky critter when it comes to weather but sometimes it totally lacks decorum and even a modicum of politeness.
After weeks of what seemed to be Niagara rains and winds that required securing the smokehouse before it jetted off into a nearby gully, it finally calmed down.
For a few days I didn't have to tether our little mutt's butt to prevent her from launching toward the Caribou Hills.
My, my, here we are, once again, in the cuddle clime of Valentine's Day.
This "special" period should have rolled in as no surprise to any guy with an IQ higher than a grape nut flake.
All it takes is noticing the serious uptick in the advertising of jewelry costing more than a reliable fishing boat and flower arrangements offering a choice between them and a new downrigger.
For the next few weeks, a huge segment of the population will come critically close to OD'ing on saturated fats and cholesterol while becoming so psychologically freaked and vocally aggressive that, if they were dogs, they'd be diagnosed as rabid and shot on sight.
I'm talking about the NFL playoffs affliction. A disturbing disease that is highly contagious. There is no cure or preventive vaccination and it seriously attacks pro football fans starting in January.
The holidays at our cabin by the sea is usually a primo time to kick it back, reinforce family bonds and strengthen ties with friends even if it means I have to share some seriously delicious cuisine whipped up by my bride.
I'm extremely lucky because the only thing she requires of me is that I stay out of the way while she bakes, fries, boils, chops and stirs with one hand whilst wrapping packages with the other.
Do I contribute more than placing a manly digit directly on target when she requests backup for bow tying? You bet.
The days orbiting Thanksgiving are usually as quiet as a puppy's snore in our little patch of paradise. The only sounds drifting through our cabin are some soft instrumental jazz and the tinkling of ornaments as my wife prepares to decorate for the holidays.
She is a master at turning our log home into a wonderland so cool that Santa leaves her cookies and milk.
My job is to primarily stay out of the way and let her create her latest masterpieces from the kickoff turkey-n-things feast to a Christmas tree so stunning that it seems to glow without its lights plugged in.
Homer claims to be the "Halibut Capital of the World" but if things keep up it may add serious whale watching to the menu of cool stuff to do.
We've always had some whales hanging around the bay part of the year but, at this moment, the main fleet is in and has been for awhile.
Humpbacks, minke and orcas are cruising around Kachemak Bay and off the end of the Homer Spit in such numbers that it looks like a major geyser event in Yellowstone National Park.
Some Dall's porpoises even blew through in a rare late season appearance around the end of September.

How can I know what encoding will be used by PHP when sending data to the browser? I.e. with the Cotent-Type header, for instance: iso-8859-1.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Usually Apache + PHP servers of webhosters are configured to send out NO
The 2nd solution is supposing Apache is not configured with
You can use the header() solution that William suggested, however if you are running Apache, and the Apache config is using a default charset, that will win everytime (Internet Explorer will go crazy) See: AddDefaultCharset
Keep in mind that content-types and encodings are two different things. text/html is a content-type; ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 are encodings.
The HTTP response header that the server sends typically looks like this:
"charset" is actually the character encoding. It's not in a separate header; however there is a header called "Content-Encoding" which actually specifies what kind of compression the response uses (e.g. gzip).
If you want to change the character encoding to UTF-8, in a file that contains HTML:
You can set your own with
AFAIK, PHP sends strings bytewise. that is, if your variables hold UTF-8, it will send UTF-8. if you have iso-8859-1, it will send that too. if you mix them, it won't be pretty.
If your server is not configured to have a default content or charset, and neither is PHP, PHP will send only
If a browser receives a page without charset specified, various things can happen:
If with this procedure, the PHP script's charset and the browser's charset matches, the text will - accidentally - be readable. If not, there will be weird signs and similar phenomena.

What would you do if you knew someone could not pay you back what they owe?
I lent $1000 to a mother with a child that was about to get kicked out or her house If I did not lend her the money. I know the child personally and is the reason I lent the money. Now she told me she was going to pay me 2 months ago and I tried to collect but she made me feel that I was going to really put her in and her daughter in a bad situation.. She promised to call me today 3 weeks ago and that maybe she got her tax refund. She hasn't called. I hate to be the one to call her. I don't want to the bad mr. collector man.. It is unfair. If she could not pay me should call and let me know out of courtesy. Honestly, I will understand not being paid because I know her situation. She can even have the money if she just had the courage to ask for it. What I do not like is being stood up and disregarded. I lose respect for people so much more so that way than if they just told me straight up. Anyway, Ima just chalk this up as a loss. I just got to forget about it.

Hell no, go get your money back. If she cant pay back in full, then set up a payment plan.
You gave her a clean loan without 1 cent of interest on it. She could have gone to a pawn shop or loan shark and gotten her money that way and paid back twice when she borrowed. But no, she "borrowed" the money from you.
Its nice that she has a child that you know but you cant let people walk over you like that. Go get your money back
I dont loan money to anybody without collateral against it. Especially chicks

When you don't mention people about money you lent them, they take advantage and think they can pay you back when ever THEY want, which could be never.
Is she a close friend or what? Is she like family to you. 1k is a lot of money to lend some one you don't trust like that.

If someone owes me, and can't pay me.......I'm pretty forgiving. However I think it's worse when someone owes one of my friends, and my friend is too pu$$y to collect. For some reason I get a bit more testy.
I can't stand watching someone get punked out.
That seems like a needy family though so I'd let it slide man.......what's a grand anyways. Make that back and call it a day.

Without sounding mean, or justifying someone not paying their debts. You had to take into question that she was being evicted from her house due to non-payment of rent. That should have implied that she couldn't easily get her hands on $1000. If she didn't have it to pay her rent, something that is a necessity, I find it hard to believe that however genuine her intentions are to pay you back, she isn't going to struggle to find that money.
When I lend anyone money, I already make it a 'gift' in my head, I am prepared to never see a single penny back and I make sure I can live without it. That said, I rarely lend money to anyone.

Not to mention I'd never "lend" something that was huge........like it would break me or really bother me. Like someone asking to borrow my ride for a month, borrow my jewelry (my one boy), or a really large sum of money.

Its a tough one on this level but as you said gonna chalk this one up and charge it the game. I would say make one last attempt see what happens and forget about it. If the 1000 aint killing you witch imma say no seeing how you gave it out she is gonna feel like scum every time she sees you and your niece trust me she didn't forget that's for sure.

I met the Dalai Lama and all he wanted to do was talk about Thomas Merton. This isn't too surprising in that we were interviewing him as part of a documentary about Merton. Nonetheless our meeting was scheduled for five minutes but fifteen minutes later His Holiness was still talking enthusiastically about his time with Merton.
When Pope Francis appeared on the Capitol balcony, one could not help but notice that the Congressional leadership that surrounded him, included Catholics of German, Italian, Irish, Lithuanian, and Hispanic descent. Despite the rejection and adversity faced by their ancestors, all had risen to high elected office.
I'd spent the past few weeks feeling completely lost, purposeless, and alone, but in the simple actions of that little girl, I began to realize the simplicity and power of hope and faith in our world. All I needed to do was to figure out a way of silencing all the noise around and inside of me, and begin to focus on the beauty of a moment, the belief in the wonderful.

Fans of Laurie R. King's Mary Russell series rejoice – her newest release God of the Hive is now available. This novel is particularly anticipated because it continues the story begun in The Language of Bees and contains the same cliff-hanging adventure and intricate plot twists of the other books in this series. If you have not read any of the Mary Russell novels begin with The Beekeeper's Apprentice in which a young Russell meets her future mentor Sherlock Holmes. These stories are filled with exquisite historical details of the early 1900s with many famous individuals making cameo appearances. Russell proves to be a wiry and resourceful protagonist; every bit a match for her fellow detective and husband. Grand Rapids Public Library also has this title available in a GRPL Book Discussion Kit so you can get started on this series with a group of your friends.

The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to quality of service on computer networks, such as the Internet. The present invention more particularly relates to managing bandwidth available amongst a set of network connections in order to improve quality of service of a computer network.
2. Discussion of Background
It is hard to dismiss the entrepreneurial nature of the Internet; this is no longer a research project. For most organizations connected to the global Internet, the Internet is a full-fledged business interest. Having said that, it is equally hard to dismiss the poor service quality that is frequently experienced. The rapid growth of the Internet, and increasing levels of traffic, make it difficult for Internet users to enjoy consistent and predictable end-to-end levels of service quality.
The Internet has historically offered a single level of service, that of "best-effort," where all data packets are treated with equity in the network. However, we are finding that the Internet itself does not offer a single level of service quality, and some areas of the network exhibit high levels of congestion and consequently poor quality, while other areas display consistent levels of high quality service. Customers are now voicing a requirement to define a consistent service quality they wish to be provided, and network service providers are seeking ways in which to implement such a requirement. This effort is happening within the umbrella called "Quality of Service" (QoS). Examples of factors that affect QoS on the Internet include delay, bandwidth, and reliability.
Delay is the elapsed time for a packet to be passed from the sender, through the network, to the receiver. The higher the delay, the greater the stress that is placed on the transport protocol to operate efficiently. For Transfer Control Protocol (TCP), higher levels of delay imply greater amounts of data held "in transit" in the network, which in turn places stress on the counters and timers associated with the protocol. It should also be noted that TCP is a "self-clocking" protocol, where the sender's transmission rate is dynamically adjusted to the flow of signal information coming back from the receiver, via the reverse direction acknowledgments (ACK's), which notify the sender of successful reception. The greater the delay between sender and receiver, the more insensitive the feedback loop becomes, and therefore the protocol becomes more insensitive to short term dynamic changes in network load. For interactive voice and video applications, the introduction of delay causes the system to appear unresponsive.
Bandwidth is the maximal data transfer rate that can be sustained between two end points. It should be noted that this is limited not only by the physical infrastructure of the traffic path within the transit networks, which provides an upper bound to available bandwidth, but is also limited by the number of other flows which share common components of this selected end-to-end path.
Reliability is commonly considered a property of the transmission system, and in this context, it can be thought of as the average error rate of the medium. Reliability can also be a byproduct of the switching system. A poorly configured or poorly performing switching system can alter the order of packets in transit, delivering packets to the receiver in a different order than that of the original transmission by the sender, or even dropping packets through transient routing loops.
The Internet is composed of a collection of routers and transmission links. Routers receive an incoming packet, determine the next hop interface, and place the packet on the output queue for the selected interface. Transmission links have characteristics of delay, bandwidth and reliability. Poor service quality is typically encountered when the level of traffic selecting a particular hop exceeds the transmission bandwidth of the hop for an extended period time. In such cases, the router's output queues associated with the saturated transmission hop begin to fill, causing additional transit delay, until the point is reached where the queue is filled, and the router is then forced to discard packets or at least portions of packets (reduced reliability). This in turn forces adaptive flows to reduce their sending rate to minimize congestion loss, reducing the available bandwidth for the application.
Unfortunately, present methods of managing bandwidth that is available amongst a set of network connections have been inadequate, given the increasingly demanding transmission needs of users of the Internet.
It has been recognized that what is needed is a technique for managing bandwidth available amongst a set of network connections. Specifically, what is needed is a technique for managing pointers pointing to memory buffers that are available for storing data traffic. Broadly speaking, the present invention fills these needs by providing a method and apparatus for caching pointers pointing to free memory cell buffers configured to store data traffic of network connections. It should be appreciated that the present invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a device or a method. Several inventive embodiments of the present invention are described below.
In one embodiment, a method is provided for caching free cell pointers pointing to free memory buffers configured to store data traffic of network connections. The method comprises the following: storing free cell pointers into a pointer random access memory (RAM), wherein each free cell pointer points to a memory buffer that is vacant and available for storing data traffic; temporarily storing at least one free cell pointer into internal cache configured to assist in lowering a frequency of reads from and writes to the pointer RAM; receiving a request from an external integrated circuit for free cell pointers; sending free cell pointers to queues of the external integrated circuit, wherein each free cell pointer in a queue is configured to become a write cell pointer; receiving at least one write cell pointer and a corresponding cell descriptor from the external integrated circuit; and calculating free counter values in order to keep track of the free cell pointers.
In another embodiment, an integrated circuit configured to cache free cell pointers pointing to free memory buffers configured to store data traffic of network connections is provided. The integrated circuit comprises controller circuitry configured to control operations of: storing free cell pointers into a free pointer random access memory (RAM), wherein each free cell pointer points to a memory buffer that is vacant and available for storing data traffic; temporarily storing at least one free cell pointer into internal cache configured to assist in lowering a frequency of reads from and writes to the pointer RAM; receiving a request from an external integrated circuit for free cell pointers; sending free cell pointers to queues of the external integrated circuit, wherein each free cell pointer in a queue is configured to become a write cell pointer; receiving at least one write cell pointer and a corresponding cell descriptor from the external integrated circuit; and calculating free counter values in order to keep track of the free cell pointers.
Advantageously, the present invention demonstrates that high quality of service (QoS) is possible in the Internet, even with increasingly demanding transmission requirements. The present invention makes it possible to deliver best effort traffic in a manner which is predictable and fairly consistent. For example, the present invention deals with the problem of having bandwidth limitations when communicating with random access memory (RAM) of a router.
The invention encompasses other embodiments of a method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium, which are configured as set forth above and with other features and alternatives.
The present invention will be readily understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. To facilitate this description, like reference numerals designate like structural elements.
An invention is disclosed for a method and apparatus for caching free cell pointers pointing to memory buffers configured to store data traffic of network connections. Numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be understood, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details.
The list below provides a quick reference to acronyms used in this disclosure.
High-Level Description of the Filter Subsystem (FSS)
The Filter Subsystem (FSS) 102 manages the Cell Buffer, performs multicasting, generates empty cell timeslots for Operations Administration and Maintenance (CAM) cells and Available Bit Rate (ABR) Virtual Source (VS) forward resource management (f-RM) cells, and supports ABR explicit rate (ER) functions. The FSS 102 consists of six functional blocks—Free List 114; Multicast 116; Discard 110; Cell Slot Generator 106; Pointer Remapping 112; and Bypass 108.
Some of that traffic is removed from the stream in the Discard block 210. Some traffic bypasses the remainder of the ell Control Path via the Bypass block 208. ABR and OAM cells generated by the Cell Slot Generator 206 flow through the remainder of the Cell Control Path, again through the FSS to the Egress Processor.
The free list block 214 manages cell pointers, which point to cell storage locations within the Cell Buffer. Free cell pointers are stored in two circular buffers. One cell pointer is removed from the head of one circular buffer for each incoming cell. Each cell pointer is returned to the free list when the cell is discarded or after the cell departs from the Cell Buffer. In one embodiment, 256K cell pointers are provided, upgradable to 1M. The pointer RAM is partitioned into two equal spaces—the free list space and the remapping space. The free list space stores up to 256K (upgradable to 1M) free cell pointers. The remapping space maps multicast dummy cell pointers to original cell pointers. The remapping space is the same size as the free list space. The pointer RAM is 512K*24 bit (upgradable to 2M*24 bit).
The multicast block 216 generates copies of cells by generating multiple cell descriptors (CDs) whose dummy cell pointers point to the original cell pointer and cell in the Cell Buffer. The receipt of one original cell on one incoming connection may cause the transmission of multiple copies onto a set of outgoing connections. Each incoming MC cell is appended to the tail of an MC circular buffer 220. The MC copy circuit 218 serves the head of the MC circular buffer 220 to generate copies which may be transmitted or looped back to create further copies. The MC circular buffers 220 are prioritized so that higher priority MC cells are served before lower priorities.
The Discard block 210, which is an important aspect of the present invention, manages usage of the Cell Buffer by selectively discarding cells as they arrive. The Discard block monitors the buffer fill for each QueueID and for each CID within each QueueID. Higher priority QueueIDs (from priority 0) are offered more extensive use of the buffer at the expense of lower priorities. The Discard block 210 reaches discard decisions by comparing buffer fill for any CID with preconfigured thresholds for each cell loss priority (CLP).
The cell slot generator 206 generates and inserts cell placeholders into which cells may be inserted by the Egress Processor Subsystem (EPSS). ABR Virtual Source (VS) f-RM slots are inserted at regular cell spacings into ABR VS connections to support ABR flow control. The Cell Slot Generator also inserts OAM and other cells at the request of the EPSS via switch interface wire (SIFwire).
The Bypass block 208 provides two channels which bypass the remainder of the Cell Control Path. One channel is provided for SAR cells whose destination is the local CPU; the other is for ABR VD f-RM cells (not to be confused with VS f-RM cells) which are received from an upstream virtual source. Neither of those streams requires shaping.
The Remapping block 212 remaps MC dummy cell pointers to original cell pointers, returns cell pointers to the free list circular buffers, and maintains cell counters used by the Discard block 210. Mappings of dummy cell pointers to original cell pointers are held in the Remap partition of the Pointer RAM.
Free Lists
The Free List block 214 obtains and recycles Cell pointers, each of which is used to address one cell location in the Cell-Buffer. In response to requests from the EBISS 112, up to twelve Cell pointers per MTS are passed to the EBISS 112 where they are stored in FIFOs until required. The EBISS 112 returns the Cell pointers to the FSS 102 with CDs when cells arrive. Cell pointers are returned to a Free List after a cell has been discarded or transmitted from the Cell Buffer. The Free List block 214 provides a maximum of 16 Cell pointers each MTS to the EBISS 112 being 12 per MTS for writing incoming cells with 4 per MTS for reading outgoing cells.
General Operation and Interaction with the EBISS
The Cell pointers are stored in the Free List RAM 214. 256K Cell pointers are supported with 4 Mbit RAMS, upgradable to 1M with 16 Mbit RAMS. The circuit is implemented using RAM rather than FIFOs due to its higher density and for uniformity of testing. During initialization, the Built-in External Ram Test (BERT) RAM Tester writes all Cell pointers into the RAM. The Cell pointer values are consecutive 18 bit (256K) or 20 bit (1M) integer address values commencing at zero. The zero value is the NULL Cell pointer: the corresponding Cell Buffer location is not used. The Free List RAM 214 is addressed by Cell-Pointer. The contents of each address contains the next Cell pointer in the list.
The FSS 102 maintains one free list of odd valued Cell pointers and one of even Cell pointers. Cell pointers are separated by parity (i.e., odd Cell pointers and even Cell pointers) to allow the EBISS 112 to refresh separate halves of the cell buffer dynamic RAMs. The null (zero) Cell-Pointer is not a member of any free list. The FSS 102 furnishes Cell pointers to the EBISS 112 over the Cell pointer interface in response to odd and even EBISS requests so long as the respective free list is not empty. The EBISS 112 stores odd and even Cell pointers in separate FIFOs until cells arrive. When a cell arrives the EBISS 112 writes the cell into the Cell Buffer at an address derived from the Cell pointer, and returns the write Cell pointer to the FSS 102 in synchronism with the corresponding CD. A maximum of twelve CDs and write Cell pointers are transferred from the EBISS 112 to the FSS 102 per MTS.
The FSS 102 passes four read Cell pointers with CDs per MTS to the EBISS 112 for cells to be transmitted from the Cell Buffer.
The FSS 102 stores each read Cell pointer for at least two MTSs before returning it to the Free List 214. The delay in returning the Cell pointer prevents the Cell pointer from being used again before the EBISS 112 reads the cell from the Cell Buffer, so that the cell is not corrupted. The EBISS 112 guarantees to read the cell from the Cell Buffer within two MTSs.
When no cells are to be read from the Cell Buffer the FSS 102 sets Cell pointer=0, ConnectionID=0, and CellType=NoData to indicate a null CD.
The EBISS 112 requests Cell pointers by specifying separate integer values not exceeding six each for even and odd Cell pointers. If the FSS 102 is unable to satisfy a request the FSS 102 transmits null Cell pointers. When a request is not fulfilled by the FSS 102 the EBISS 112 repeats the request during the following and subsequent MTSs until the request is fulfilled. The FSS 102 does not store requests.
The FSS 102 maintains separate counters of the number of free odd and even Cell pointers, available either in a cache or a Free List in external RAM. The FSS 102 transmits each of these values to the EBISS 112 each MTS so that the EBISS 112 is able to balance the usage of odd and even Cell pointers. The numbers of Cell pointers of each parity available in a free list or cache is made available to the CPU via SIFwire registers EvenFreeLen and OddFreeLen.
The EvenFree and OddFree counters indicate the number of free Cell pointers in the circular buffers—the remaining number of free even and odd Cell pointers, respectively. The counters are decremented each time a Cell pointer is obtained from a free list (1) whenever a Cell pointer is passed to the EBISS 112 in response to a request from the EBISS 112 and (2) whenever a Cell pointer is written into a CD inserted by the FSS 102 (multicast copy CDs, VS f-RM CDs, OAM CDs and other CDs requested by SIFwire). The counters are incremented each time a Cell pointer is returned to a free list (1) when the datapath is disabled from the QSS 110 and from the EBISS 112, (2) when swept by the QSS 110, (3) from read single cast and multicast copy CDs to the EBISS 112 including bypassing CDs, (4) from multicast original CDs after all copies have left the cell control path, (5) when the SAR or VD f-RM bypass buffers over-flow, and (6) when a multicast circular buffer overflows.
When the number of free Cell pointers which remain available in either the odd or even Free Lists and caches falls below a configurable threshold (e.g., BufFullTh) the FSS 102 sets either the odd or even 'Cell Buffer Nearly Full' (BNF) flags (or both) which are transmitted across the Cell pointer interface to the EBISS 112. The FSS 102 informs the CPU via the 'BUF_EAR_FULL' interrupt when the threshold is crossed for Cell pointers of either parity.
The Free Lists 214 need not be completely filled at initialization. The size of the subset of Cell-Pointers available for use is configurable by the CPU up to the maximum Cell pointer RAM size, in which case the whole Cell Buffer space would be available for cell storage. The parameter NumPtrs specifies the sizes of the even and odd Free Lists. The number of even and odd Cell pointers is always identical. The null Cell pointer (x0) is not used, and the highest valued odd Cell pointer is not used (x3FFFF for 256K or XFFFFF for 1M configuration).
An incoming CD which has CID=0 identifies a free cell timeslot. The corresponding 'write' Cell pointer is set to zero by the EBISS 112. Write Cell pointers which correspond to gaps are reused by the EBISS 112 for subsequent writes into the Cell Buffer.
The Free List RAM 214 contains the Remapping partition which remaps dummy Cell pointers to original Cell pointers for multicasting, and contains other multicast support data. The Remapping partition is the same size as and additional to the Free List 214—sufficient for 256K or 1M Cell pointers.
Internal Cell Pointer Caching
Potentially, 16 Cell pointers will be removed from the Free List 214 during each MTS. Potentially, 32 Cell pointers will be returned to the Free List 214 during each MTS.
Two caches of the form shown in
Cell pointers from external Free List RAM 214 are not used if the configured number of Cell pointers (NUMPTRS) is less than or equal to 1022.
While both the odd and even caches exceed the high thresholds, 16 Cell pointers are returned from each. While both are depleted below the low thresholds, 8 Cell pointers are obtained for each if possible (if the Free List RAM 214 is not empty).
Interrupts are issued to the CPU whenever a Free List 214 is empty. The 'NO_OPTRS' interrupt is generated while no free odd Cell pointers are available, and the 'NO_EPTRS' interrupt is generated while no free even Cell pointers are available.
Interrupts are also generated whenever an attempt is made to return a Cell pointer to a Free List 214 which is full. The 'OFL_OFLOW' and 'EFL_OFLOW' interrupts are asserted for the odd and even free lists, respectively.
Potential Cache Instability
The table below illustrates a potentially unstable situation which is described below with its prevention mechanism. It is possible that other unstable conditions may exist.

Access to the even Free List to replenish the even cache may prevent the return of Cell pointers to the odd Free List from the odd cache while the odd cache is suffering an inundation of odd Cell pointers. Although the EBISS 112 attempts to balance usage of Cell pointers, the EBISS 112 is not able to balance usage of the caches. Any balancing applies across the whole Cell pointer space. It is possible that Cell pointers of one type (e.g., odd as shown in the table above) may be returned to the cache at the maximum rate of 32 per MTS which may be sustained over multiple successive MTSs. While the even cache remains between the thresholds, the 32 odd Cell pointers per MTS may be returned to the odd Free List 214. However, if the even cache becomes depleted, and if the EBISS 112 continues to request even Cell pointers at the maximum rate of 6 per MTS, reads from the even Free List will be required. These reads prevent the return of odd Cell pointers to the Free List at the maximum rate of 32 per MTS. The odd cache fill would tend to grow without bound. In order to prevent the permanent loss of Cell-Pointers (i.e., a memory leak) should the cache overflow, an overload threshold is employed above which cache replenishments are prevented. This overload threshold is discussed above with reference to FIG. 5. The overload threshold allows a higher fill than the high threshold.
When either cache fill exceeds the 75% threshold (767) the other cache is not replenished from the external Free List RAM 214. The replenishment of a particular cache would be suspended until the cache fill of the other type falls below that 75% threshold. Ultimately, it is thus possible but unlikely that the provision of Cell pointers of a particular type (even Cell pointers in the example above) to the EBISS 112 may be suspended after the cache 504 becomes completely empty. Provision of Cell pointers of the other type to the EBISS 112, however, would not be interrupted. The table below illustrates how the 75% threshold provides stability to the inundated cache at the expense of the depleting cache.

It should be noted that neither read nor write Central Processing Unit (CPU) access is provided to Pointer RAM. Cell pointers are written into the Pointer RAM by the FSS 102 during initialization, in accordance with parameters configured by the CPU.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
Not since young Hutter arrived at Orlok's castle in "Nosferatu" has a journey to a dreaded house been more fearsome than the one in "The Woman in Black." Both films (and all versions of "Dracula") begin with the local townspeople terrified of a residence and the legends surrounding it. In this case, a green, Victorian-era attorney named Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) is visiting a haunted house in the north of England, which can be reached only by a single-track road on a long, narrow causeway that lies so low in a brackish sea that the waters lap its edges.
Arthur's mission is to search the decrepit gothic mansion for the papers of its late occupant. This woman is said to haunt the house in mourning for her dead child. Local legend has it that the ghost is responsible for the deaths of other local children, brought about in rage as her form of vengeance. No wonder, then, that the locals shun Arthur, refuse him room and board, and strongly suggest he take the next train back to town.
But Arthur must succeed because his job depends on it. His work at a firm of solicitors has been unsatisfactory, and he needs to support his son, Joseph (Misha Handley), because his wife died four years ago in childbirth. As in the Dracula legend, the carriage driver refuses to take him close to the mansion, but a stalwart resident named Daily (Ciaran Hinds, he of the portentous face) drives him there in his new motorcar.
The house is a masterpiece of production design, crumbling, forlorn, filled with the faded and jumbled Victorian possessions of doomed lifetimes. It has a unique feature that audiences will not fail to remark upon: its own sound-effects crew. At every frightening moment, and there are many, the soundtrack paralyzes us with blasts of cacophonous noise. You wouldn't want to be in the theater next to this movie in a multiplex.
"The Woman in Black" is Daniel Radcliffe's first film since "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (2011). With a few other diversions, the "Potter" series kept him working steadily for a decade, during which he has grown taller and sprouted a crop of sideburns, but at 22, he still looks like a schoolboy — or a little young, anyway, to be the father of a 4-year-old. Nor does he have much gravitas. The film might have had more effect if his character had possessed more screen presence, but "The Woman in Black" depends mostly on the decor, location and supporting cast, some of them playing living people and some not.
The movie nevertheless is effective, because director James Watkins knows it isn't a character study. His haunted house is the star. The illnesses of local children provide ominous portents. Daily's wife (Janet McTeer) balances precariously on the edge of madness. And there is a most satisfactory scene at a railroad station that might have had Daniel Radcliffe wondering if he will ever, in his career, take a routine rail journey.
"It's a madhouse!"
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

The Rough-Face Girl (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
From Algonquin Indian folklore comes one of the most haunting, powerful versions of the Cinderella tale ever told.
In a village by the shores of Lake Ontario lived an invisible being. All the young women wanted to marry him because he was rich, powerful, and supposedly very handsom. But to marry the invisible being the women had to prove to his sister that they had "seen "him. And none had been able to get past the sister's stern, all-knowing gaze.
Then came the Rough-Face girl, scarred from working by the fire. Could she succeed where her beautiful, cruel sisters had failed?

I'm sure that you all think that I fell off the face of the earth. Well, I kinda did. I won't go too far into it but it involved a tumor in my neck that had to come out. I spent the last couple of months worrying at first, getting more information, going to referrals, going to surgery and recovering (mostly).
While I was on the mend, I had the chance to sit down and make a couple of kits FOR YOU. Yay! The first one is from back in Aug, called A Bugs World.

Lloris required lengthy treatment after colliding Lukaku during the second half of the Barclays Premier League clash at Goodison Park.
Substitute Brad Friedel looked ready to come on as Lloris was eventually led off the field but the Frenchman appeared to argue for the right to play on.
Martinez said: "We were glad to see Hugo Lloris back on his feet.
"It was a strong incident, nothing malicious, two brave players fighting for the ball.
"Romelu did nothing wrong and he picked up a strong knock on his thigh and he had to come off as a consequence.
"I was really disappointed to see Romelu punished with a yellow card in what was an honest challenge, both players trying to get the ball."

Life on Mars' second season was the last, due to a combination of the producers not wishing to over-exploit the concept and lead actor John Simm's well-known reluctance to be typecast in a long-running television series. It was a bold decision for a series that had become a big hit on British television and done the seemingly impossible by getting audiences fired up over a cop show.
The second season offers up pretty much more of the same as the first season: Sam and Gene butt heads over their different approaches to policing, but they have, grudgingly, accepted that each has skills the other does not, and when they combine their approaches it often leads to good results. Sam and Annie continue to not quite get it together in the tradition of all great TV will-they, won't-they romances, and Sam continues to be haunted by hallucinations of his life in 2006 which relate to his current situation in 1973. The show also moves onto slightly more contentious ground in Season 2 by covering the more controversial subject of IRA terrorism in one episode whilst continuing to examine the extent of corruption and heavy-handed methods in the 1970s police force.Read more ›
The performances are fantastic, the story is original and they don't pull any punches. John Simm is fantastic as the lost Sam Tyler and Philip Glenister tears it up as DCI Gene Hunt. After watching the BBC series I was frankly insulted by the dumbed-down American version. LOM takes us through Sam's journey into the past and leaves us satisfied when the series has run its course. The show is filled with great 70's-era music and is an incredible homage to the 70's cop genre while still filling the bill as a modern procedural.
Like a little cop show in your sci-fi? A little of the fantastic with your Starsky & Hutch? Pick up Life On Mars. You will NOT be sorry.
Also, I know it's heretical, but my viewers think the DVD version I own of Season One looks and sounds just as good as this one.

CHARACTER COUNTS! Program
In 1992, a summit was hosted by the Josephson Institute, parent organization of CHARACTER COUNTS!, in Aspen, Colorado. A group of leading ethicists, educators, and youth-service professionals convened to develop a common language of core ethical values that transcend religious, political, and socioeconomic differences.
This group identified universal values, later called the Six Pillars of Character – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. A national character education movement was established called CHARACTER COUNTS! Today, this program has become the most widely implemented approach to character education.
Salpointe Catholic High School is a member of the CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition and has integrated the Six Pillars of Character into our school program in support of our Lancer Values and the Gospel message. This integration is seen in varying ways; weekly commentaries read during homeroom announcements, teachers utilizing posters in the classroom, references made within lesson plans, the Six Pillars being the benchmark goals for the disciplinary program.
