For many women, an attractive bust line is an important part of feeling self–confident and sexy. Often times, the aging process, breastfeeding, weight changes, or hormonal shifts can alter the natural appearance of the breasts. For patients who desire an increase in volume and/or size for small or underdeveloped breasts, breast augmentation can create a more desirable silhouette.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation involves the placement of breast implants either above or beneath the breast muscle to create a natural, beautiful looking bust. Many potential patients ask about where incisions (the entry point of the breast implant) are placed. The most common incision placements are underneath your breast or around the lower edge of your areola (the pigmented skin around the nipple). These sites are chosen specifically to minimize any scarring since they are concealed in the natural folds of the body. After the incision, a pocket is created for the implant in the space between your breast and your chest wall. Depending on your breast implant placement, the pocket will be either behind your natural breast tissue or behind the muscle.
Breast Implants
Cohesive gel implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles, which assists Dr. Khanna in finding the exact implants that would be best suited for your proportions. In fact, Dr. Julie Khanna uses scientific measurements to determine which range of implants would create the most natural and cosmetically appealing breast augmentation according to your shape, size, and height.
Dr. Khanna, a Canadian leader in cohesive gel silicone breast augmentation, takes the time to truly understand your needs and explain all of the benefits and limitations of each type of implant, procedure, and incision. Dr. Khanna will then customize your surgical procedure to ensure that your new breasts are precisely what you are expecting.
To find out if breast augmentation is right for you, please contact our knowledgeable staff at our Oakville office, between Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario. If you are ready to schedule a consultation, Dr. Julie Khanna will provide her patients with all of the information that they will need to make the most informed decision.

Knope, We Can't Wait for 2014 — The Best of 'Parks and Recreation'
When NBC announced that they would only air two more episodes of Parks and Recreation in 2013, fans of the show immediately blamed Jerry. Because he's the worst. The network is making room for specialty programming to promote the ratings-challenged new show Sean Saves the World. By shifting the schedule around, the Halloween and Election Day episodes were pushed back and will air weeks after the events with which they coincide. Then Parks and Rec won't return until 2014, so we'll have to watch our favorite episodes on DVD and streaming to fill the void left by Leslie Knope and her plucky, determined crew.
"Galentine's Day"
Gather your favorite guys and gals and have your own Galentine's Day party to celebrate Parks and Rec — who cares that it's October? Don't forget the super thoughtful gifts or you'll disappoint Leslie!
"Pawnee Rangers"
As Tom and Donna would say: "Treat yo' self!" Relax while you watch Ron and Leslie battle it out to see who has the better Pawnee scout troop. Pawnee Goddesses, duh!
"Greg Pikitis"
Everything about "Greg Pikitis" is flawless: first Halloween episode of the series, Leslie becomes crazy-obsessed with catching a teenaged vandal, Louis C.K. guest stars, and Andy's FBI agent alter ego Burt Macklin is born.
"Win, Lose, or Draw"
The episode where Leslie was elected councilwoman of Pawnee is heartwarming and hilarious. It's Parks and Rec at its finest.
"The Fight"
You know that viral video clip of Ron Swanson drunkenly dancing like a lunatic with a silly tiny hat on his head? Yeah, that's from this episode. (Also: April yelling in Spanish, Ben saying "Bababooie," and Leslie ranting about her fight with Ann.)

"As stated by others...there are a few little rust-like splotches on the cards. At first I was surprised and concerned, but then I realized it was intended to make the card look more rustic and antiqued. You can't really see them in the preview, because they are subtle and are not intrusive to the design. It goes along with the casual feel of the invite."
"Designing the card couldn't be simpler! They came out great quality and Wedding Paper Divas got them to us a lot faster than I was expecting. Looked just like the proof."
"Love this state-themed wedding suite! I upgraded to the double-thick paper and rounded corners which really makes this invitation stand out. We have already gotten so many compliments on these!"

Tap water is safe for drinking, and sanitation standards are very high. As a tropical country, Singapore is hot and humid so drink a lot of water. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Singapore was way back in 1934, when it hit a low of 19.4°C (66.9°F).
Malaria is not an issue, but dengue fever is endemic to the region. Singapore maintains strict mosquito control (leaving standing water around will get you fined), but the government's reach does not extend into the island's nature reserves, so if you're planning on hiking bring along mosquito repellent.
The standard of medical care in Singapore is uniformly excellent and Singapore is a popular destination for medical tourism (and medical evacuations) in the region. Despite the lower prices, standards are often as good as those in the West at both public and private clinics, making this a good place to get your jabs and tabs if heading off into the jungle elsewhere. You'll still want to make sure your insurance is in order before a prolonged hospitalization and/or major surgery.
For minor ailments, head down to the nearest suburban shopping mall or HDB shopping district and look for a general practitioner (GP). They usually receive patients without appointment and can prescribe drugs on the spot, and the total cost of a consultation, medicine included, rarely exceeds $30. For larger problems, head to a hospital.
Alternatively, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are widespread in Singapore. Eu Yan Sang runs a chain of over 20 clinics, while the Singapore Chinese Physicians' Association offers a directory of TCM physicians.
Nearly all shopping centres, hotels, MRT stations, bus interchanges, and hawker centres are likely to have public toilets. Being clean, McDonald's toilets are popular too, and the staff do not make a fuss. Public facilities may charge 10 to 20 cents per entry, and a packet of tissue may come in handy if the toilet paper has run out. Most toilets have bowls, but there is usually one squatting cubicle in every public toilet.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. You purchased your Tracer because its reliability and a trusted name agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Heater Core for your car or truck. When your Mercury Tracer rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants long-lasting quality in their automobile.
Before cars and trucks were built with the ability to cool their interiors, they had the ability to heat them. The engine of your Mercury Tracer constantly pumps and turns a mixture of water and ethylene glycol through the engine block in order to absorb the heat it generates, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. Your heater core sits inside a heater box, mounted behind your glove compartment, and you can find it by following the two heater hoses towards the passenger side of the firewall. Essentially, your Mercury Tracer heater core acts like a radiator; in that it uses the engine coolant to emit heat for the blower motor to propel into the inside of the car.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your Mercury needs a top quality replacement Heater Core, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Heater Core bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Mercury Tracer Heater Core parts for 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

The present invention pertins generally to multiprocessor and clustered systems, and more particularly to a method for speculatively receiving data in the form of message packets to expedite message traffic between communicatively interconnected elements of a multiprocessor system.
Many computing and processing systems today are collections of separate processing elements of one type or another that are interconnected by a data network for data communication. Wide area networks (WANs), local area networks (LANs), or system area networks (SANs) are a few examples of such interconnective networks. Many of these networks use a communication protocol that transmits information in the form of packets, an initial portion of which (often termed the "header") contains information about the packet (e.g., its source and destination) and its content (e.g., if it carries data, a description of that data, and what is to be done with it). Whatever form the interconnection takes, efficient operation of the system as a whole depends, in part, upon the network architecture being able to provide fast, well-organized transfers of data between the system elements. Typically, that design will incorporate switches or routers that route message traffic through the various communication paths of the network, from one element of the system to one or more other elements of the system. Presently available switch designs are able to improve communication efficiency by a data-handling capability that uses latency reduction techniques. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,694,121 and 5,710,549, which deal with techniques for granting path access to multiple contending messages.
Other techniques for enhancing the network communication efficiency involve focusing on the topology of the network interconnect in an effort to remove or at least minimize loops and resultant deadlock. For example, massively parallel processing (MPP) systems may use hundreds if not thousands of interconnected processing elements and associated input/output equipment (e.g., disk storage, communications devices, printers, and the like). Communication between elements of an MPP system will require high band-width connections in order to reduce inter-element latency of message traffic to keep the system running as efficiently as possible.
Lacking proper design, a network is open to the possibility of a "deadlock" being created. This situation results when groups of messages cannot make further progress through the communicating network because of a circular dependency in which each message packet must wait for another to proceed before acquiring access to a communication link. But, even with a well designed interconnect or network topology, deadlock can occur when the destination is incapable of receiving messages as quickly as they are sent. Sluggish reception at a destination can cause message packets to back up through the interconnect and possibly impede message packet traffic bound for other system elements. Thereby, the effectiveness of the interconnect design is reduced—particularly during periods of high message traffic. This problem is particularly apparent in high speed interconnect schemes, and is exacerbated with the growth of the system.
One approach to reducing this problem is to provide the destination with sufficient buffer storage so that when a message packet is received it is stored to await processing. However, additional buffer storage can be expensive, making the approach a costly and often prohibitive solution, particularly for high-speed operation. An alternate approach, used in co-pending patent application Ser. No. 09/606,425, filed Jun. 28, 2000, for "Network Deadlock Avoidance Using Other Memory to Buffer Received Packets" is to use a buffer size sufficient to handle typical message traffic, but to use memory already available to spill messages to when the buffer becomes full during periods of heavy message traffic at the destination.
In addition, those protocols that use an initial portion ("header") of the packet to provide particulars about the packet (its source, destination, content, etc.) can make a sluggish destination even more so. The reason being that header information is used, for example, to authenticate the packet (e.g., to verify that the source is authorized to do what the packet desires, etc.). However, before any verifications are made, the usual procedure is to receive the entire packet, check its correctness, and then proceed to authenticate the packet. For packets carrying large amounts of data, this can take some time.
Thus, it can be seen that there still exists a need for handling incoming message traffic at the receiving end in order to relieve message traffic-crowding on the network interconnect—particularly for systems that require high speed data communication between various of the system elements.
The present invention provides a processing system with a method of speculative reception of message packets containing data and other information. In particular, the invention is most advantageously used in systems of the type in which at least certain of the message packets include a header to describe the content of the packet.
Broadly, the invention involves initiating processing of the message packet after the header is received, but before the remainder of the packet is received and its correctness verified. Such processing may include determining that the source of the message packet is authorized to provide data to the recipient destination. When the entire message packet is received, an error-checking code which concludes the packet is checked, and if there is no error found, processing is completed by routing the data to its intended location at the destination element (e.g., a memory of a CPU). If, however, the error-checking indicates that the data or the message packet contains an uncorrectable error, the data will either be stored for later review, or discarded, depending upon the type of error.
A number of advantages are achieved by the present invention. First, early initiation of processing the message packet, before it is received in its entirety, allows a receiving element to ready itself much faster for receiving a subsequent message packet. This, in turn, leads to the advantage of keeping traffic moving on the interconnections used to communicate the system's elements to one another and lowering traffic congestion on that interconnect.
These and other advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in this art upon a reading of the following description of the specific embodiments, which should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a representative processing system for implementing the present invention;
FIG. 2 is illustration of the format of a message packet used to communicate data and/or control information between the elements of the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustration of a port receiver of an element of the system of FIG. 1, broadly showing the receive buffer and supplemental memory used to implement the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the protocol stack used to receive message packets by the port receiver of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating the operation of the receive packet layer protocol by the port receiver of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating of the session layer protocol by the port receiver of FIG. 3.
Turning now to the figures, and specifically with reference to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a multiprocessing system or cluster, designated generally with the reference numeral 10, advantageously structured to employ the present invention. As FIG. 1 shows, the system 10 includes a number of central processing units (CPUs) 12 communicatively coupled to various input/output (I/O) elements 14-18 such as a disk system 14 (with a controller 15), communications system 16, and "other" I/O 18. The elements 12-18 of the system 10 are interconnected by a system area network (SAN) 20. Preferably, for fault tolerant capability, each of the CPUs and I/O elements 14-18 have dual connections to the SAN 20, although that is not necessary to the implementation and operation of the present invention. In addition, the SAN 20 is preferably constructed along the lines taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,751,932 such that the SAN 20 will include various switches ("routers") operable to route message packets between the elements 12-18 of system 10. U.S. Pat. No. 5,751,932 is hereby incorporated by reference to the extent necessary for disclosure of the invention.
The elements of system 10 are preferably designed with the capability of transferring information and data to and from the memory (not shown) of each of the CPUs 12 in a manner that does not involve the main processing element (e.g., microprocessor) of that element. Rather, each CPU 12 includes state machine-based logic that operates independent of the main processing element to receive and respond to requests for data to be stored or read from the memory of the CPU. Although it will be evident to those skilled in this art that all such information requests can be handled by the main processing element of the particular device, using a state-machine based logic, particularly for the CPUs 12, permits the main processing element to attend to more critical, time-sensitive tasks.
A preferred form (of the many available) for packaging the information transferred between CPUs 12 is illustrated in FIG. 2. As FIG. 2 shows, information is conveyed using a packet 24 that includes a header field 26, an address field 28, a data field 30, CRC field 32, and terminates with a terminator tag 34 that marks the end of the packet. The header field 26 carries such information as (1) the intended destination of the packet, (2) the source of the packet, and (3) the type of the packet. A packet may be one of four basic types: a request for data to be read (Read request) or data to be written (Write Request), or a response to such a request (Read Response or Write Response).
The header field 26 is followed by the address field 28 that specifies a location of data. If the packet carries data, and is a Write Request, the address field specifies where the data, carried in the data field 30, is to be written at the destination. If the packet is a Read Response, the address field is not used. (A Read Response carries data specified by an earlier sent Read Request. The address to be used for the data of the Read Response is maintained by the requesting CPU 12.) The data field 30 can hold up to 512 bytes of data, although it will be evident that other sizes can be used. Multiple message packets are used to carry larger amounts of data.
The packet 24 concludes with an error-correcting/checking code, here a conventional cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code, and the terminator tag 34. In addition, the terminator tag 34 indicates whether or not a prior element of the system (e.g., one of the switches—not shown—of the SAN 20) found an error in the packet when routing it to its destination. Accordingly, the bit sequence used to identify the end of the packet can take on one of two forms: one to indicate "this packet good" (TPG), or one to indicate "this packet bad" (TPB).
Read Requests may be sent by a CPU 12 to the disk system 14, for example, requesting certain data specified (by the address, address field 28) in the Request, or Read Requests may be sent to other CPUs 12, requesting data from a memory location of the CPU—also specified by the content of the address field 28. The recipient of a Read Request would then reply via a Read Response, either with the data requested or a reason why the request could not or is not complied with. If the Read Response carries the requested data, the information may be received and processed by using the header information to verify the authenticity of the response. Such processing includes using the transaction number (in the header field) to match it with outstanding transactions, and then verifying that the source of the packet, also identified in the header, is the proper source, and that the data is the proper size. If processing properly verifies and authenticates the packet, it is written to the memory of the requesting CPU without need of intervention of the main processing element (microprocessor—not shown of that CPU. Rather, all this is handled by the receive logic (not shown) and the main processing element is notified of receipt of the data. The main processing element can then use the data as necessary when it is ready, not when that data is received. An example of use of this type of system may be found in the referenced U.S. Pat. No. 5,751,932.
Permitting the memory of any CPU to be accessed by any other element of the system (i.e., other CPUs and even peripheral devices when returning requested data) gives rise to the need to protect against inadvertent and/or unauthorized access. Thus, in connection with this need, each CPU maintains an access validation and translation table (AVTT) containing entries for each element of the system 10, including CPUs, that is authorized to access the memory of that CPU. Each such entry will include information as to the type of access permitted (e.g., a read or write to memory), and where in memory that access is permitted. Message packets that are routed through the SAN 20 are created, as indicated above, with information describing the originator of the message packet, the destination of the message packet, what the message contains (e.g., data to be written at the destination, or a request for data to be read from the destination), and the like. The header information, in addition to permitting the message packet to be routed to its ultimate destination expeditiously, provides the receiving CPU with information to allow it to retrieve the AVTT entry pertaining to the source of the message packet. The receiving CPU can then check to see if access is permitted, and if so what type and where the receiving CPU chooses to Remak (i.e., translate) the address. In this manner the memory of any CPU is protected against errant accesses. The AVTT is also used for passing externally generated interrupts to the CPU.
The AVTT assures that a CPUs memory is not corrupted by faulty I/O devices. Access rights can be granted for memory ranging in size from 1 byte to a range of pages. This fault containment is especially important in I/O, because the system vendors of systems usually have much less control over the quality of hardware and software of third-party peripheral suppliers. Problems can be isolated to a single I/O device or controller rather than the entire I/O system.
Shown in FIG. 3 is a port receiver 40 that is structured to implement the link layer level of the Open Systems Interconnect OSI reference model protocol stack (FIG. 4). The port receiver 40 basically forms the logical path for data from the SAN 20 to the memory of a CPU 12, providing the logic needed to implement the protocol stack shown in FIG. 4. In addition to the CPUs 12, each of the elements 14-18 of the system 10 (FIG. 1) would preferably include a form of the port receiver 40 as the receiver of message packets from the SAN 20.
As FIG. 3 shows the port receiver 40 includes an input section 42 and a receive buffer 44. The input section 42, in turn, includes a synchronization FIFO 50, a decode unit 52, an elastic FIFO 54, and a check/align unit 56.
Synchronization FIFO 50 operates to receive the message packet from the link 22 that connects to the SAN 20, matching the clock frequency with which the packet is transmitted on the link 22 with that of the receiving element. A more complete description of the synchronization FIFO and its function may be found in the aforementioned referenced U.S. Pat. No. 5,751,932.
From synchronization FIFO 50, the received message packet is then passed to a decode unit 52 where the packet is examined for any special codes, and where the type of the packet determined. In addition, if the packet is encoded for transmission (e.g., conventional 8B/10B coding), the packet is decoded. The packet is then passed to and temporarily stored in the elastic FIFO 54. From the elastic FIFO 54, the packet is passed to the check/align unit 56 where CRC of the packet is compared to that developed when the packet was received. In addition, the packet is aligned in four byte blocks for storage in the receive buffer 44. Message packets stored in the receive buffer 44 may then be made available, via the system interconnect bus (SIB) 45, to the various elements of the transport layer of the OSI protocol stack (not shown), i.e., the memory (not shown) of a CPU 12 or other storage element.
When the check/align 56 unit forwards the message packet to the receive buffer 44, handshake signals between the check/align unit 56 and the receive buffer 44 will inform the receive buffer that the message packet is valid, and identify the message packet type. In turn, the receive buffer will store it in one of the buffers, according to the identified type (i.e., whether or not it carries data)—with the associated header. A buffer that contains a message takes on the type of that message while the message is held. For example, a buffer holding a write request becomes a write request buffer until that write request is processed and the buffer free to accept another packet. If that next packet is a read response, the buffer then becomes a read response buffer.
Message packets are received by the port receiver 40 one packet at a time, in ordered fashion, and stored in the receive buffer 44 in the order received—according to type. The receive buffer 44 is logically partitioned into two different sizes of packet buffers. Three large buffers, each comprising sixty-eight, eight-byte double words, are used for storing message packets that carry data, i.e., read responses and write request message packets. Seventeen small buffers, each comprising three double words, are used for storing message packets that carry no data: write responses or read requests.
Once a message is stored in the receive buffer 44, it is made available (i.e., notification of the message packet provided) to the transport layer, which will usually pass the data of the packet (if it carried data) to memory (not shown). Although, as mentioned above, packets are stored in the order received—according to type—they may be withdrawn from the storage RAM 74 out of order, depending upon the availability of the transport layer for which the particular message packet is destined. That is, a read request message packet may be taken from the receive buffer 44 before a prior-received write response message packet; or, a read response message packet may be removed by the transport layer before a prior received write request message packet.
The protocols used for handling the receipt of incoming message packets for storage in the Receive buffer 44 until it can be transferred to memory (not shown) for use by the CPU 12, are illustrated by the protocol stack shown in FIG. 4. As indicated above, the logic implementing the protocols is shown in FIG. 3. Receipt of a message packet begins at the link layer protocol block 60, implemented principally by the decode circuit 52 of the port receiver 40 (FIG. 3). The decode circuit 52 operates to manage flow control (e.g., to temporarily halt receipt of a message packet when the elastic FIFO 54 is nearing a full state), extract from the packet various control characters used for e.g., flow control. And decode the individual elements ("symbols") of the packets, which may be encoded in, for example, the conventional 8B-10B format. After decoding, the message packet is passed to the elastic FIFO 54 (per protocol block 64) where it is kept until a buffer in the receive buffer 44 can be made available, if not already available, and allocated for the packet. When a buffer is allocated, whatever is stored in the elastic FIFO 54 at the time is then retrieved by the check and align circuit 56 and transferred to one of the buffer queues of the receive buffer 44 under the control of the Receive Packet Layer Protocol block 66. Operation of the Receive Packet Layer Protocol is illustrated by the flow diagram of FIG. 5, and is implemented primarily by the check and alignment circuitry 56.
Turning to FIG. 5 for the moment, the Receive Packet Layer protocol begins with a wait sate 80 until an incoming message packet is being received by the elastic FIFO 54. Then, when notified by the elastic FIFO 54 (i.e., the receive (Elastic) FIFO Protocol 64), the Receive Packet Layer Protocol and the check and align circuit 56 (and associated logic—not shown) will move to step 82 to request a buffer for storing the incoming message in the receive buffer 44 until it can be presented to the transport layer via the SBI 45. Thus, if a buffer is granted, the incoming message packet will be transferred from the elastic FIFO 54 to the assigned buffer in the receive buffer 44.
Step 86 checks to see if the header of the incoming message packet has been received. If so, step 88 sets a "Header Available" flag, indicating that the header is available in the receive buffer for processing, and receipt of the message packet continues, until the end of the message packet is detected at step 90. Then, the CRC 32 and terminator tag 34 of the message packet are checked in step 92. If both are found to be good, a "Packet Complete" flag is set, and the Receive Packet Layer Protocol is finished and exits via step 94 to set a "Packet Complete" flag, and ends at step 96.
On the other hand, if the CRC is found to be bad and uncorrectable, the received message packet, at step 98, will be sent to an exception queue for later examination and processing. At step 100, a "packet Exception" flag is set before proceeding to exit via the end step 96. If, however the terminator tag is found to have been set to the TPB state, indicating that an upstream element of the system (e.g., a switch on the SAN 20—not shown) has already found the message packet to be bad, and therefore, unreliable, the message packet will simply be discarded.
The Receive Buffer block 67, implemented by a collection of state machines (not shown) that forms a part of the receive buffer 44, is responsible for managing the buffer pools of the receive buffer 44 (FIG. 3). Buffers are granted to the Receive Packet Layer Protocol as they are needed Completed good packet buffers and large buffers with complete packet headers are presented to the Session Layer Receive Protocol for processing, including access validation and address translation.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the operational overview of the Session Layer is illustrated, showing the principle steps taken according to the present invention for incoming messages that are assigned a larger buffer, i.e., those that carry data. The Session layer begins at step 110 by exiting a wait state in favor of step 112, in which the header is read from the receive buffer 44. (In the case of message packets carrying no data, a write response or read request, most likely the entire packet has been received and stored. The following discussion concerns message packets that carry data.) With the header, the Session Layer can determine what the packet is about, i.e., what is the source of the packet, what type of packet is it (i.e., a write request or a read response). Processing of the packet can begin while the data carried by the packet is still being received.
With the information describing the message packet contained in the header, the Session Layer, at step 116, will access the AVTT entry pertaining to the source of the message packet and make various checks to determine the validity of the packet and verify the permissions that it may by making. For example, the message packet may be a Write Request, seeking to write the data it carries to an area of memory. The AVTT entry will contain information that specified first if the source of the message packet has the right to write data to the memory of the receiving entity, and if so where and how much. A Read Response will be similarly verified with checks to see if the data carried is a response to a read request sent by the receiving entity, and if so does the size and other aspects of the data conform to what was requested.
Meanwhile, the incoming message packet continues to be received by the input section 40 (FIG. 3). Ultimately, the end of the message packet will be received and checked in steps 120 and 122. At step 120, the TPG tag is checked, and if still set to a TPG indicator, a check of the determination made during step 116 will be made at step 122, i.e., is this a valid request? If so, the request will be processed. If it is a Write request, the data carried will be written to memory, in the case of a processor unit 12, or to some form of storage (e.g., I/O 14 or 18), and the Session Layer ends (step 126).
If the TPG tag is found to have been changed in step 120, the packet will be discarded in step 130 and the Session Layer processing ended. On the other hand, if the TPG tag found to be OK, but the request for some reason is found in step 122 to be invalid, the packet will be moved to an exception queue in step 134, and the Session Layer ended.

In the interest of student and staff safety, all Bethel schools will be closed Monday, January 9th.
While conditions on the main roads have improved overnight, the neighborhood streets and sidewalks – and school parking lots – remain covered with ice and slush.
An announcement about Monday's evening activities will be made later today.
All Bethel schools are on a 2-hour delay Friday, January 6th.
Buses will pick up students 2 hours later than the normal time.
With a 2-hour delay, start time for classes at Clear Lake will be 10:55.
A cold breakfast- starting at 10:30- will be available and lunch will be served at the regular times.
Dismissal will be at our regular time, 2:55.
Some side roads and sidewalks are slick, and caution is urged on the morning commute. Parents are encouraged to use their best judgement about their child's school attendance.
In the interest of student and staff safety, Bethel School District schools will be closed Thursday, January 5th due to the ice and snow. All evening activities are also cancelled.
Today's K-8 Parent-Teacher Conferences are also postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.
The City of Eugene has issued an ice-snow emergency, asking us to stay off the roads. And the forecast calls for frigid temperatures throughout the day Thursday, which means the slick driving conditions are not expected to significantly improve.
This will be the 5th Snow Day in Bethel and winter has only just begun. We have also had one 2-hour delay.
As a result, days will need to be made-up during the week of June 19th. The number of make-up days has not yet been determined, but please make plans now for all Bethel schools to be in session that week.
All Bethel schools will be closed Wednesday, January 4th, due to snow.
In the interest of student and staff safety, all of Wednesday's evening activities are also cancelled.
The District hopes to resume classes on Thursday, January 5th, which will be a half-day due to parent-teacher conferences.
All Bethel schools will be closed Friday, December 16th, due to continued safety concerns. All evening activities are also cancelled Friday.
Numerous branches, weakened by a layer of ice, continue to fall around Bethel schools (see below) creating hazardous conditions for students and staff. Many Bethel-area roads are impassable for Bethel school buses. And a number of staff remain unable to leave their neighborhoods due to downed trees and power lines.
The District eagerly anticipates the resumption of classes on Tuesday, January 3rd.

Bennett Vineyards & Wine Company
Bennett Vineyards & Wine Company is one of the newest additions to the South Willamette Valley wine scene. The handcrafted, artisanal Pinot Noir wines from Bennett Vineyards & Wine Company are grown exclusively in Gene and Lisa Bennett's 20-acre vineyard in the Cheshire area. "We decided to stick with Pinot Noir exclusively to start with, wanting to focus on making a great red wine styled after France's great red burgundy wines." Three popular Pinot Noir clones grow on their beautiful estate, which also features a pond and Bear Creek, to produce the perfect blend of sweet, acid, fruit and earthiness.
Brigadoon Wine Company
The Brigadoon vineyards are located just northwest of Eugene on a 66-acre farm that straddles an unnamed tributary of Ferguson Creek. At Brigadoon Wine Company the Shown family shares a commitment to fine wine and sustainable agriculture, the journey from field to glass. "With an elevation between 400 and 600 feet and predominantly Bellpine soils, our site is cooler and generally one week behind our neighbors. The additional time on the vine allows for further physiological fruit development and flavor development without necessarily producing higher sugars resulting in higher alcohol wines."
The Brigadoon Wine Company wine collection includes Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir.
High Pass Winery
High Pass Winery, located 15 miles northwest of Eugene, produces exceptional pinot noir, renowned pinot gris and remarkable dessert wine varietals. Being a small volume producer by choice, winemaker Dieter Boehm is personally involved in all aspects of vineyard and winery operations. "We use grapes from three vineyards: High Pass Vineyard, Priddy Vineyard and Walnut Ridge Vineyard. Vine spacing is 5 X 7 feet, representing a modern European viticulture approach, yielding high quality wines at attractive prices."
The High Pass wine collection includes Rosé (Pinot Noir), Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Huxelrebe and Scheurebe.
LaVelle Vineyards
The LaVelle Vineyards estate winery, located in Elmira, is the oldest bonded winery in the southern Willamette Valley. "We are locally focused and family owned. My dad began making wine in 1995, the same year of which he started our hugely successful wine club, and in 1998 opened up the LaVelle Wine Bar & Bistro (now known as The Club Room at the Market) at the 5th Street Public Market in downtown Eugene, Oregon." – Matthew LaVelle, winemaker.
LaVelle Vineyards offers the Willamette Valley flight—all wines that are made at the estate winery in Elmira, Oregon—and the Columbia Valley flight consisting of wines that are made in Eastern Washington, according to the LaVelle philosophy and standards of wine making.

Domaine Meriwether
Domaine Meriwether produces an award winning portfolio of still and sparkling wines. "What started as a quest is now our passion, producing world class sparkling wines. Obtaining this goal required three ingredients: ideal grapes – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grown in Oregon's cool climate; a skilled winemaker with expertise in traditional Methode Champenoise; and lots and lots of patience."
The Domaine Meriwether wine collection includes sparkling, still and heritage wines.
Pfeiffer Vineyards
Located on an ultra-premium, sustainable 70 acre vineyard, Pfeiffer Vineyards is one of the oldest vineyards in the state with a reputation for producing world class pinot noir and pinot gris. As the first solar-powered winery in the south Willamette Valley, owners Robin and Danuta Pfeiffer were awarded a "Best Winery Experience" by readers of the Register Guard Newspaper. The tasting room is a candle-lit cave offering a personal, one-on-one wine tasting experience. "Our wine grapes deliver clean, delicate fruity flavors. And, our exquisite, small lot productions are only available through our tasting room and wine club, and are not distributed to stores or restaurants. Since we don't distribute our wines, we manage our sulfite levels as low as possible."
The Pfeiffer Vineyards wine collection includes Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Muscat, Grey Cat, Anna Skye, Blushing Bride Rose, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Tango and Forté (Port).
RainSong is a small family- operated vineyard and winery owned by Mike and Merry Fix. The site of their 55-acre farm is comprised of a wonderful combination of meadow, pond, and woodland with a gentle southeastern slope. "We have 9 acres of vines, 6 of which are Pinot Noir, with the remaining acreage in Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. We enjoy the tasks involved with the operation of the vineyard and the winery and we want to stay intimately connected to both endeavors. By performing tasks ourselves, we can give personal attention to all aspects of wine production." RainSong also offers a unique program, enabling groups to bottle and custom label barrels of wine.
The RainSong wine collection includes Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Riesling, Rosé of Pinot Noir, Rosé of Meunier, Sparkling Rosé, Methodé Champenoise Sparkling Wine and Blanc de Noirs Sparkline Wine.

We're hiring! Join our team and help bring restoration to survivors of trafficking. Click Here
For survivors to experience freedom, financial independence is key.
As a result, we recently launched a new holistic Economic Empowerment program that connects women to safe, sustaining jobs.
By equipping survivors with new skills and supporting them to transition into new jobs, we believe the women we serve will experience not only healing and restoration for themselves, but also for their children and generations to come.
The program is designed to offer a portfolio of economic opportunities customized for each survivor. This holistic program is a multi-faceted package and designed to equip survivors with economic independence and also to be part of effective prevention strategies to their peers.
We believe that this model will lead to more empowered women and grow to a survivor-led movement.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is telling supporters in Kansas that he's not the establishment candidate as he tries to lock down a victory in the state's GOP caucuses.
The former Pennsylvania senator spoke to about 250 people at a former railroad depot in Topeka. He then headed to Wichita for an airport rally, causing some grumbling among tea party activists who were holding a rally of their own.
He told the crowd in Topeka that he'd be back in Kansas on Saturday when caucus voting occurs at 96 sites across the state.
Forty Republican National Convention delegates are at stake. Santorum suggested he's at odds with political elites and scoffed at front-runner Mitt Romney's recent comments that it will be nearly impossible for Santorum to overcome him.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum hoped to lock down a victory in Kansas' GOP caucuses with two rallies Friday but faced grumbling from tea party activists for skipping their big rally in the state's largest city.
The former Pennsylvania senator figures to do well in Saturday's voting as he looks for a post-Super Tuesday victory to help him collect delegates to the party's convention and chip away at the lead built by the front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Santorum enjoys strong support among abortion opponents who are a powerful constituency within the Kansas GOP, including leaders of Kansans for Life.
Romney received a boost when Kansas GOP icon Bob Dole, the 88-year-old former U.S. Senate majority leader and 1996 presidential nominee, urged fellow Kansans to support him. But Romney wasn't expected to visit before Saturday's caucuses, possibly hurting his chances of picking up some of the state's 40 delegates.
Santorum planned an event at a former Union Pacific railroad depot in Topeka, followed by a rally at a Wichita airport before leaving the state to campaign again in the South. His wife, Karen, was holding a cookies-and-coffee reception at his state headquarters in downtown Wichita.
Some tea party members were frustrated that Santorum wouldn't attend their rally. They spent $25,000 to rent the Century II arena in downtown Wichita and expected 1,000 to 3,000 people to attend.
"It seems like it is counterproductive to show up for an event that is going to have 300 people in an airplane hangar instead (of) 3,000 people in a nice setting where you can actually contact and really maybe sway somebody," said Craig Gabel, the president of Kansas For Liberty, which organized the Wichita event.
Gabel said Santorum skipping the gathering was a sign of tension between tea party members and Kansas GOP officials. He suggested the GOP had discouraged Santorum from attending. Santorum state coordinator Greg Cromer said it was a scheduling issue, and that tea party leaders were informed early.
"We basically already had committed to the schedule," Cromer said. "There hasn't been anybody discouraging anybody."
Romney remained the leading GOP candidate with victories in six of the 10 states that voted Tuesday. Santorum won in three states and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won in his home state of Georgia. Texas Rep. Ron Paul has yet to win anywhere.
With Romney not expected to visit Kansas and Gingrich canceling a scheduled visit to concentrate on the South, Paul was the only presidential candidate participating in the tea party event. Paul also was having a town hall forum in Topeka.
Associated Press writer Roxana Hegeman in Wichita also contributed to this report.

Chapter Thirty: Under the Rain
Softly, so softly, the rain pitter-patters outside.
His heart is gone. Torn out. Destroyed. It's as if a spirit has removed his beating, beating life and tossed it into a fire, watching it as it turns to ashes.
He can feel his eyes watering.
"That's awful, Aang . . ." Not even her voice, usually a melody of the angels, can comfort him, and its sound makes him only more furious, more enraged. "I don't know what to say."
The words bubble up in him, forcing their way through his stomach, up his throat, and into the air. His voice rips out hoarsely. "How could they do that to me!" It is not a question. It is a statement. They couldn't. They had no right. They had no . . . no right at all.
An angry kind of grief.
A furious kind.
Enraged kind.
The ire within him wells up, swelling like a river in a hurricane, threatening to burst its banks and destroy everything nearby. His vision flickers once, twice, and he knows what comes.
" They wanted to take away everything I knew and everyone I loved!" he screams, his words like hot knives, skewering his memories, slicing through them, chipping away until all that there was was the pounding pain and agony of losing his life.
He never wanted to be the Avatar.
He never wanted to be the Avatar!
The wrath hurtles forward and out of him. The agony shrieks through him, a bolt of lightning cast by a terrible foe, his entire body shuddering.
Who is he?
He is the Avatar.
And the Avatar is in pain.
The air around him moves faster, faster, faster, and he welcomes the relief of the black and the white and the nothing. When he fades and becomes it, the entity, the Avatar Spirit, he is no longer himself. He can forget who he is, as he already has.
There is nothing holding him to this world.
He accepts it.
Let me become the Avatar, he pleads, and let me forget again all this torture.
And then he hears her voice again, not a beautiful melody but a strident call of mayhem and chaos. He turns to look, and he sees her only in a splash of white.
"Hot cinders!" she cries, and he remembers why he fights.
This time, he has to win.
If he goes into the Avatar State now—
It burns him, it drowns him, it breaks him, it throws him. It destroys him. There is no escape. But he stands, and he fights, and his body is wracked with spasms.
It is not pain.
It is pain beyond pain.
A combination of every physical, emotional, or spiritual pain he has ever experienced.
Rolled up into one.
But he fights.
And, shivering, he slides to his knees, defeated, deflated, exhausted.
Inside, he has nearly killed himself, but at least she is all right.
Outside, he can hear the rain.

Starring Danielle Harris, Kane Hodder, Zach Galligan, Caroline Williams, Derek Mears, Robert Diago DoQui
Directed by BJ McDonnell
Distributed by Dark Sky Films
In the midst of the remakes, sequels, and glut of mean-spirited torture porn that permeated the mid-aughts, first time filmmaker Adam Green gave us Hatchet, a kickass, bloodsoaked throwback to no-nonsense 80s slasher films that reinvigorated that subgenre for the last half of that decade, paving the way for fun cut-'em-ups such as Laid to Rest and Behind the Mask.
Eventually, Hatchet received its own sequel with 2010's Hatchet II, a superior follow-up which upped the comedy, action, and gory setpieces to the extreme. Three years later, Green has relinquished the directorial reins to Hatchet/Hatchet II cameraman BJ McDonnell for Hatchet III, a trilogy capper that acts as what might be the definitive ending to the franchise (for the time being, anyway). With Green acting only as a scripter and producer this time out, and with a novice filmmaker at the helm, does this potentially final installment live up to the previous two films and deliver what fans expect from this franchise?
Picking up where the last flick left off (albeit with a curious retconning of one character's rather grievous injury), Hatchet III opens with series heroine Marybeth (Harris) defeating villainous, hatchet-wielding madman Victor Crowley (Hodder) in a rather gruesome fashion, then dragging herself into the nearest Sheriff's station to report her deed and the deaths of all those who accompanied her into Honey Island Swamp during the previous outing. Marybeth is written up as a homicidal kook and tossed behind bars by Sheriff Fowler (Galligan), who leads a group of his men into the swamp for corpse recovery and an investigation.
They're eventually joined by a heavily armed SWAT team led by Officer Hawes (Mears), before all hell breaks loose and Crowley is back to his usual limb-pulling, gut-ripping shenanigans. Meanwhile, Fowler's ex-wife and journalist Amanda (Williams) negotiates with Sheriff's Deputy Winslow (Doqui) for the release of Marybeth, so that the trio can run down a lead connected to Crowley's past in the hopes of discovering a way to end his reign of terror once and for all. These two plotlines converge and culminate in a gory, ghastly finale that is equal parts shocking and entertaining, leaving no one in the cast unscathed.
Props must be given to first-timer McDonnell for making sure that his entry in the franchise feels cut from the same bloody cloth as the previous installments, all while injecting some of his own style into the proceedings. Hatchet III is every bit as fun, funny, and bloody as fans could hope, delivering another enjoyable trip into Victor Crowley's gore-strewn swamp. The film looks pretty great, and though the story is essentially a retread of the previous installment's "men on a mission versus a monster" setup, Hatchet III seems considerably larger in scale than the earlier entries.
The cast is solid this time around, as well. Harris seems more comfortable in Marybeth's skin (and accent), Galligan makes a welcome return to genre cinema and proves to be a still-likeable presence (even if his own cracker accent doesn't always convince), and Hodder is as terrifying as ever. Caroline Williams does great work here also, making one wish she'd worked more often in horror flicks, while the rest of the supporting cast (including Sean Whalen, Cody Blue Snider, Jason Trost, Rileah Vanderbilt and series vet Parry Shen) keep things lively and amusing. There is also a pretty great cameo from a Hatchet vet during the film's climax, but I'll say no more on that subject for fear of ruining it for first-time viewers.
All that's not to say that Hatchet III is a home run, however. Though every bit as bloody and gory as one might expect, Hatchet III's kills are a bit on the mundane side this time around, at least compared to the earlier films. Likewise, while some of the jokes and gags are quite funny, others fall completely flat (a cameo from a horror veteran in the third act leads to more groans than guffaws, sadly). Harris' final girl is curiously less likeable during this outing, and gets sidelined for the bulk of the film when relegated to the movie's B plot.
In addition, while Derek Mears is fun as the armed-to-the-teeth asshole of the group, his inevitable showdown with Crowley is over with far too quickly (while its gore gag is an unsatisfying riff on Hatchet II's Crowley/Reverend Zombie battle). And though the final moments could conceivably be the last time we see Mr. Crowley, another character's fate is left maddeningly vague (seriously, Hatchet: A New Beginning had better be in the planning stages).
Still, those niggles aside, Hatchet III is an entertaining beer-'n-pizza horror flick that should leave the franchise's fans grinning ear to ear. Sure, it isn't my favorite entry, and those who aren't fans of the previous Hatchets will likely find nothing of value here, though those who are still on the fence might want to give this sequel a shot.
The image on Dark Sky's Blu-ray is pretty damned impressive, boasting sharp detail and strong colors (though the blacks look a little washed out occasionally). And the audio? The DTS track is a monster at times. Seriously, brace yourselves for some of the more action-heavy sequences. The provided bonus features are solid, as well. We get two commentaries: one a more technical talk, with Green, McDonnell, cinematographer Will Barratt and make-up effects artist Robert Pendergraft; the other, a fun chat with Green, McDonnell, Kane Hodder and Parry Shen. Both are well worth listening to for fans of the franchise and its filmmakers.
There is also a ten-minute behind-the-scenes featurette with loads of neat moments form the production (including Green ceremoniously passing an actual hatchet off to McDonnell at the start of filming, as well as some cool looks at McDonnell's directing and the effects and stuntwork involved in this outing). In addition, we get a five-minute featurette concerning Hodder's make-up application, and a nine=minute collection of fun moments and general goofing around from the film's production. Add to all that the teaser and full-length trailers, and you have a pretty solid bonus features package.
Ultimately, this being the third entry in a slasher franchise, you've likely already made up your mind about whether or not you're going to see this flick. You probably already love or hate the Hatchet series, and this writer isn't likely to sway you one way or the other. However, I can honestly note that, as a fan, I walked away from this third installment more than pleased, and still hoping for yet another installment. So, if you're in the mood for a gory, goofy good time, do be sure to give Hatchet III a chance.
