RAMBLES Part II
By MissGoddess,
November 23, 2009 in Films and Filmmakers
GAD! What a lineup! That looks like an incredible bunch of movies, Mava.
Do you have any particular ones picked out for special viewing? The Bette Davis one looks good, and Lew Ayres, James Dunn and Linda Darnell are the ones I find most interesting. Plus of course the cracking Lee Tracy.

I have to really check the schedule thoroughly. I'm a tad bleary eyed from the two-drink minimum at SOB's. But I think I'll be back & forth at the Film Forum. May of those films I want to see on the big screen and now being retired....what's stoppin' me.
Come to NY. Let's go to the movies. ( I don't share my candy, though).

You television personalities lead such in-ter-es-ting lives.... like everyone else, I wish I were you, flitting about the city and having adventures!
> Come to NY. Let's go to the movies. ( I don't share my candy, though).
Me neither.... and you don't know how close I am to taking you up on it. I feel like a shut in lately.
Yeah...it's great to be me.
I'm not joking about the visit. Look at the schedule, pick a movie...a day. Stay at a Howard Johnson or Days Inn (or Hilton if you're super-baaaad), bring your own munchies and lets do this thaang.
This may be tough - my family goes completely ballistic if I go to the movies 10 miles down the road for two hours.... I might have to actually think about bringing them with me if I want to see anything.....
Well...NYC has plenty of sights to see 4 your family, while we do our classic movies thing. Think about it. Hey, isn't it Easter break coming up for the kids?
You are getting sleepy. Your eyes are getting heavy. You are on a plane...or train...or bus. You are crossing over the George Washington Bridge...the Manhattan Skyline is in view...Film Forum... *BAM...moooooovies....shopping....

I tell ya, this just gets worser and worser.
Just when I think this thread's hit an impossible new depth, now JF and CM are threatening the world's desmise by conquering NYC?!! Oh noooo...
Where's SCSU? This HAS to be 500 times worse, right?!! It's just GOTTA.
We had Piggly Wigglies where I grew up in Texas! I remember their biggest rival in our town was Minyard's. I loved Piggyl Wiggly just for the name and the mascot.
Then Walmart came and really squashed a lot of competition. I confess I liked Walmart, I could buy movies and cd's there as well as everything else under the sun. In a small town, things like that take on an unaccustomed importance.
And piggies are supposed to be chubby! How can they PC-ize that cutie?!

He was in THE BEGINNING OR THE END but I don't think anyone has ever seen it, including me.

You will. And if you visit her, make sure to take along an extra can of salmon.

Talk about willing suspension of disbelief.

> Yes I was worried it might bring up some bad memories for you. The film starts off so well but it really turns when the kids get stuck in the underground tunnels. Does L.A. have a river or not?
L.A. has a lot of water, if I remember CHINATOWN correctly.
> *EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS has some good spfx. Hugh Marlowe if I remember correctly is an idiot in this one (and has a hairy back I think)*
> I didn't notice the hairy back but he is pretty idiotic.
I don't know which is worse -- hairy backs, noses, or knuckles.
> *Isn't THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD with Tim Holt? He was such a cutie pie*
> Yes Holt is the Commander and he's cranky in this one.
Tim Holt cranky? Wait a minute -- he did have some sour moments in THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS.
> *THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS is imo the best of the monster-on-the rampage films from the '50's -- I think it's a bit better than GODZILLA even. The opening in the Antarctic is pretty eerie (reminds me of THE THING and parts of THE CRAWLING EYE) And the story isn't really bogged down heavily with romance, and there's a welcome absence of "comedy" relief and, miraculously, there's no stupid dialogue!*
> You have quite an eye for this sort of thing! The rampage through New York is great. You get Cecil Kellaway as the old scientist in this one. It takes little while for Paul Hubschmid to convince people he's not nuts. In the end you feel bad for the beast.
I love Cecil as the paleontologist. Though I don't know how wise it was for his assistant to allow him to make that underwater trip.
> *As for those crustaceans, I said it before and I'll say it again:*
> *They're jolly!*
> Great! I'm looking forward to it.
Have plenty of drawn butter on hand.
Oh! JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS is on right now! I love it! My favorites are those harpies, and, of course, the skeletons.
Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 26, 2010 8:07 PM
I just taped "Jason and the Argonauts" and will watch it over this weekend. I introduced my seven year old nephew this movie when he was three. He loved it. He ran out into the living room to act out some scenes from the movie. He was the statue that came to life and he fought off the skeletons. My parents didn't know WHAT the heck he was showing them until I told them what we were watching in the other room. Everytime I call down there and talk to him, he says: "Remember Jason and the Argonauts?" Who knows how much he remembers, and how much is just going by rote.
But he is older now...and I'm going to take a trip down to Texas to take him to see the current "Clash of the Titans." Yeah, it ain't Harryhausen...but it looks like good rousing fun!!

Mighty Mo,
I know that you and Glo are probably at some really ritzy cocktail party with the Charles' and the Chans', etc but I'm here at our watering hole waiting to talk about Veta and the Judge.
Get here soon or I'll be spiffed.
While you and Madhat are getting spiffed, I have on "THE SNAKE PIT" in the background which TCM is airing. And it just hit me....Oliva DeHavilland (giving, IMHO, a marvelous performance) sounds just like the younger daughter in Hitchcock's "SHADOW OF A DOUBT."

I bumped the Harvey thread. Meet me there when you are ready!
I chose to watch one of your movies last night, Snippy. I found it to be rather enjoyable. It's nothing but charming. It strongly reminded me of My Man Godfrey, and even, Harvey. The film? Cluny Brown.
Would you like to discuss it a little?
Oh, wow you watched a Lubie and LIKED it??? Cool! I never know how people are going to react to Cluny Brown, it's such a quirky little thing.
The Harvey connection is out of left field but I think you've got something there. It certainly resembles it in the whole idea of being true to who you are, even if it's "odd" to everyone else.
I wish my DVD was Region 1, because I'd post caps. I have a few. What did you like best about the film?
After I watched it, I came away kind of liking it, but I already feel myself liking the movie, more and more and more. That's the EXACT same feeling I had after watching The Shop Around the Corner, which is now in my top 100. It's a very cute film with a beautiful message.
That's part of why I felt some Harvey with Cluny Brown. It's also because Belinski (Charles Boyer) seems to bring people together, ala Godfrey (William Powell). He's deceptive and manipulative, but in a very positive way. Belinski is very encouraging.
I wish my DVD was Region 1, because I'd post caps. I have a few.
What did you like best about the film?
The sexual humor!
I loved the message of the film, about finding your place. Uncle Arn (Billy Bevan) was right, even though his reasons were off. I loved Belinski's attraction to Cluny, and vice versa. He was willing to let her find her own way... until the end.
I liked the scene where Belinski calls Wilson (Richard Haydn) a "freighter." He actually meant it as a negative, but Cluny liked the idea of his being a "freighter." And once Belinski heard that, he didn't knock it. If that's what Cluny wanted, that's what she wanted. Who was he to say differently?
Loved Belinski's childish door shutting at the pharmacy.
Jennifer Jones is darling. The scene where she embarrasses her future family and friends is my very favorite scene in the film. She's so happy to do what she does best, to be so helpful, and it ends up being the wrong thing to do. And to see the boy so happy to meet her was beautiful. He's thrilled to meet a girl like Cluny.
Loved her running after Belinski, at the end.

It does linger with you long after, doesn't it? I find myself thinking about it without even trying. Seeing Jennifer's puzzled face when she does or says the "wrong" thing, or something Adam says, how unpredictable his reactions are.
> That's part of why I felt some Harvey with Cluny Brown. It's also because Belinski (Charles Boyer) seems to bring people together, ala Godfrey (William Powell). He's deceptive and manipulative, but in a very positive way. Belinski is very encouraging.
How do you think Adam brings people together? Oh, you mean Helen Walker and Peter Lawford? I love how Adam is with Helen, he's attracted and doesn't hide it. I think she is, too, but unlike Cluny, she doesn't give in to impulses too easily, I think. Besides, she just knows.
> The sexual humor!
Well, why doesn't that surprise me! There's plenty of it, too.
> I loved the message of the film, about finding your place. Uncle Arn (Billy Bevan) was right, even though his reasons were off. I loved Belinski's attraction to Cluny, and vice versa. He was willing to let her find her own way... until the end.
It's a remarkable coming together for a couple. He doesn't court her, as you say, he backs away but it comes right in the end. I like the scene on the train, very unconventional, but it's so touching to me. No more "general delivery", he has to get a house with pipes!
I love Boyer's whole bemused and watchful presence, yet he does stimulate things into action, as you say. I'm still figuring out his character, really. He's a professor and the young men think he's there to really stir things up politically, which doesn't turn out to be the case. His "revolutionary" ideas seem to be more subtle, as the movie brings out.
I like that the old man, Reginald Owen, comes to be so fond of Adam even though he hasn't a clue what he's really about. This is an example of what I mean by Lubitsch's gentle approach (though apparently some in the Brit community were offended by his depiction of them here). He shows Lord and Lady Carmel as snobs, but not monsters (at least not him)..and he shows the servants are often ten times snobbier than their employers. What a frosty performance by dear Sara Allgood! This part of the story reminded me, oddly enough, of Rebecca.
> I liked the scene where Belinski calls Wilson (Richard Haydn) a "freighter." He actually meant it as a negative, but Cluny liked the idea of his being a "freighter."

I must have missed that part! I don't remember the "freighter" remark. Goodness, Haydn and his mother, what a set up. Yet I can totally understand what drew Cluny, not to Wilson himself, but his world.
> Loved Belinski's childish door shutting at the pharmacy.
ha! That's a very Lubitsch moment. Irritation is the best revenge on small minds!

I know, I think Jennifer was perfect here. She really is "different" and doesn't have to act that. She's kind of like Irene Bullock. Loopy but lovable and always with the best motives at heart.
> Loved her running after Belinski, at the end.
Yes, that was also kind of like in My Man Godfrey.
Ciao, Persian Cat -- It does linger with you long after, doesn't it?
Yes. You know, it's writing about it that makes me examine my feelings more. And when I started to write about it, just minutes ago, I started to realize I really like the film. Strange. It's a lovely film.
I find myself thinking about it without even trying. Seeing Jennifer's puzzled face when she does or says the "wrong" thing, or something Adam says, how unpredictable his reactions are.
Theirs is an interesting match. He's drawn to her purity, her honesty, her innocence. I'm not sure what she's drawn to. Probably his charm, his taking an interest in her, his supportive nature with her. You know, actually, it's that she can be herself with him. There's no pretense. She doesn't have to worry about offending him. He doesn't have one big rule book to abide by. She's free with Belinski. She can be naked, ala Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.
How do you think Adam brings people together? Oh, you mean Helen Walker and Peter Lawford?
Yes. They're like Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake) and Miss Kelly (Peggy Dow) in Harvey. But just Belinski's presence stimulates and unites those around him, ala Elwood (James Stewart).
I love how Adam is with Helen, he's attracted and doesn't hide it. I think she is, too, but unlike Cluny, she doesn't give in to impulses too easily, I think. Besides, she just knows.
Their bedroom scene is priceless. I love her screams. Betty Cream (Helen Walker) is a wise gal when it comes to male advances, so she sees through Belinski, on that level. But on other levels, she's not as perceptive. Betty definitely reminded me of Cornelia (Gail Patrick) in My Man Godfrey.
Damn that nightingale!
Ala Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart), he allows others to do the believing. Everyone else is thinking what they want of the situation and him.
I like that the old man, Reginald Owen, comes to be so fond of Adam even though he hasn't a clue what he's really about.
You find similar patriarchs in My Man Godfrey and Harvey.
This is an example of what I mean by Lubitsch's gentle approach (though apparently some in the Brit community were offended by his depiction of them here). He shows Lord and Lady Carmel as snobs, but not monsters (at least not him)..and he shows the servants are often ten times snobbier than their employers. What a frosty performance by dear Sara Allgood! This part of the story reminded me, oddly enough, of Rebecca.
I really liked Ames (Reginald Gardiner) and Mrs. Maile (Sara Allgood). They were, as you say, total snobs. YET, they found their place. They were happy and, in their own way, in love. As Belinski says early in the film: "Wherever you're happy, that's your place."
I liked the juxtaposition of Colonel Graham (C. Aubrey Smith) with "Sir" and "Lady" Carmel. Cluny speaks of how dogs ("Roddy," the Colonel's dog) help to bring people together. All classes of people have dogs.
I must have missed that part! I don't remember the "freighter" remark.
It's all about Cluny and her "ship coming in."
Goodness, Haydn and his mother, what a set up. Yet I can totally understand what drew Cluny, not to Wilson himself, but his world.
I certainly thought of you after Cluny spoke of Wilson and his mother. Una O'Connor had to love her role as "Mrs. Wilson." She speaks only through clearing her throat. That's awesome!
Irritation is the best revenge on small minds!
Wonderfully said!
Yes, she's rather similar to Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey), in that regard.
I love Jennifer's way. She exudes childlike innocence. She always seems "otherworldly."
Very much so!
> Yes. You know, it's writing about it that makes me examine my feelings more. And when I started to write about it, just minutes ago, I started to realize I really like the film. Strange. It's a lovely film.
I think Lubitsch is so good at filling his best movies with so much nuance, that you can't quite forget them. He's a very intelligent director who never played down to his audience, yet he makes everything he tries to say so very entertaining that you accept it's illogic. I mean they may seem illogical, some of his situations and ideas, but they manage to come out seeming more sane and reasonable than the stuffy real world he mocks.
> Theirs is an interesting match. He's drawn to her purity, her honesty, her innocence. I'm not sure what she's drawn to. Probably his charm, his taking an interest in her, his supportive nature with her. You know, actually, it's that she can be herself with him. There's no pretense. She doesn't have to worry about offending him. He doesn't have one big rule book to abide by. She's free with Belinski. She can be naked, ala Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.
I think you have it, there. He's accepting and he affirms her rather than contradicts or constricts her, like Wilson and just about everyone else did.
> Yes. They're like Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake) and Miss Kelly (Peggy Dow) in Harvey. But just Belinski's presence stimulates and unites those around him, ala Elwood (James Stewart).
Yes, he is a catalyst. So they think he's a revolutionary, then Lubitsch seems to contradict that with his practical, low key manner and then in the end, he is causing revolution of sorts!
> Their bedroom scene is priceless. I love her screams. Betty Cream (Helen Walker) is a wise gal when it comes to male advances, so she sees through Belinski, on that level. But on other levels, she's not as perceptive. Betty definitely reminded me of Cornelia (Gail Patrick) in My Man Godfrey.
This is exactly the kind of scene Lubitsch does best. Wonderful dialogue that can seem to be about something entirely other than what the words are saying. That's why their delivery is so important, you need actors who understand the nuance, like they do in this. Wonderful.
> Damn that nightingale!
Ha haaa! And it's practically the symbol of English poetry and romance....something in itself Lubitsch would of course find ripe for his satire. He loved to poke holes in stuffy, stratified worlds (but gently and never with the idea that living well was a bad thing!).
> Ala Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart), he allows others to do the believing. Everyone else is thinking what they want of the situation and him.
You said it in a nutshell, Squirrely!
> You find similar patriarchs in My Man Godfrey and Harvey.
That's true, too! I hadn't thought about it, but Mr Chumley and Mr Bullock are very similar.
> I really liked Ames (Reginald Gardiner) and Mrs. Maile (Sara Allgood). They were, as you say, total snobs. YET, they found their place. They were happy and, in their own way, in love. As Belinski says early in the film: "Wherever you're happy, that's your place."
Oh, he makes it sound so simple. And it is. Or should be.
> I liked the juxtaposition of Colonel Graham (C. Aubrey Smith) with "Sir" and "Lady" Carmel. Cluny speaks of how dogs ("Roddy," the Colonel's dog) help to bring people together. All classes of people have dogs.
Oh yes, I thought that was another funny little thing about the movie. I hadn't considered it that way, though. You may be right...
> I must have missed that part! I don't remember the "freighter" remark.
> It's all about Cluny and her "ship coming in."
Ha! Oh, dear, then I think Wilson is more of a tugboat.
> I certainly thought of you after Cluny spoke of Wilson and his mother. Una O'Connor had to love her role as "Mrs. Wilson." She speaks only through clearing her throat. That's awesome!
She's hilarious! She's so mummified at this point she's lost the power of speech, good grief. That's what Cluny was headed for.
> I love Jennifer's way. She exudes childlike innocence. She always seems "otherworldly."
She really does, which is why she's so right for the role. I cannot think of anyone else in it. She convinces you that she believes what she says and that those pipes give her a thrill---and makes us in the audience want her to have them! And the silk stockings. Lubitsch will give a woman pipes but he will also make sure she has the proper lingerie.
Good morning, Miss Whosits -- I think Lubitsch is so good at filling his best movies with so much nuance, that you can't quite forget them. He's a very intelligent director who never played down to his audience, yet he makes everything he tries to say so very entertaining that you accept it's illogic. I mean they may seem illogical, some of his situations and ideas, but they manage to come out seeming more sane and reasonable than the stuffy real world he mocks.
I've only seen two Lubitsch films, thus far, and what you say rings true with me. Lubitsch seems to be about "appearances."
That's very nicely said. I like your usage of the word "affirms." I believe that's important to woman.
Precisely! Belinski is certainly a "revolutionary," just as Elwood and Godfrey are. They are outside of Society, in their own ways.
Very true. Boyer crackles. He's so very smooth and convincing. And I love Helen Walker's little screams.
It's not the living well, it's, well, the living. It's the dead seriousness of living life. And it's done with supreme selfishness. If a person doesn't fit the exact little hole or box you wish to place them in, it's their fault, not your own.
He's a freighter in the bay!
I took it as if their world is such a shut-in world, a world of great seclusion and separation. All she needed to communicate was to clear her throat a certain way and her son and friends would understand her... but no one else. Sir and Lady Carmel communicate this way, as do the butler and maid. They then mock those who are unlike them as being "foolish." It's all about making onself better than the rest.
You and your "proper"! I like Cluny's entrance: "Good afternoon. Well, should we have a go at it?"
Nice girl. Sits a horse well.
Oh boy oh boy. Seems like I've been sitting on my "CLUNY BROWN" dvd for much too long now. Well, it's a dreary rainy Tuesday here in NYC. Guess I'll have at it now.
That's amazing! MissG - your comparison of Una O'Connor with what Cluny's life will be.... c'est magnifique! Stifled.
And Frank- I love your descriptions of Belinski - he simply IS, while others try to fill in the blanks surrounding him. HE never does. He's quite the mystery, and remains one. I love this side of Boyer, so wry, so open - stating things that should be obvious, but aren't when you are in the midst of confusing life. Where he came from, what he does for a living, THAT is mysterious, but HE is not. It makes me wonder if his reputation as a freedom fighter or whatever it was was an accident, or if he is just too modest to take credit for his accomplishments.... maybe I just missed something?
I just watched a very Cluny-esque moment from *The Happy Time* - Boyer, convinced he can understand what birds are saying, frees his son's pet bird, only to have the bird fly out the window. It's a beautiful moment. The bird eventually comes back, and who wouldn't, for a chance to live with a man who would want you to be totally free? :x
I see the reference to Gail Patrick's Cornelia, and I get it, but Betty Cream has none of Cornelia's vindictive nature. Betty has been bred for one thing and one thing only - she knows men. She is trying to have a little fun while she can, before being sold into marriage. Adam helps her realize who she really is and where she fits. It's an amazingly subtle and wry performance by Helen Walker. In some ways, she is the match of Belinski, moreso than Cluny.
Cluny is a character I am still trying to work around in my mind. I definitely need a second viewing.
Sigh. I simply MUST see The Happy Time, I'm going crazy with curiosity!
> Oh boy oh boy. Seems like I've been sitting on my "CLUNY BROWN" dvd for much too long now. Well, it's a dreary rainy Tuesday here in NYC. Guess I'll have at it now.
Yay! You love Jennifer and Helen Walker, so I'm sure you will enjoy it, CinemAva.


There are a variety of health benefits that come with dog ownership. Spending time with our canine companions can lower our blood pressure, make us feel less stressed, and help combat depression and anxiety.
However, when it comes to fitness, dogs really shine when it comes to giving us plenty of excuses to get out and enjoy an active lifestyle. That wagging tail and expectant gaze is a great motivator to get us off the couch and out of doors.
Dogs have a natural love for the outdoors. So many things to sniff and chase! Their exuberance is contagious. When you enjoy The Great Outdoors with your canine companion, you get a reminder of the pure joy of fresh air and sunshine.
If you happen to have a fenced backyard, getting outside with your dog is as simple as learning a few fun games to play together. Don't forget to get the kids involved in these fun activities!
Grab some tennis balls or a dog proof frisbee and enjoy a game of fetch with two people and a dog. Be sure to reward your dog with lots of praise and pets when she successfully retrieves on her turn.
Playing this modified game of fetch will give you much more exercise than sitting in the lounge chair letting your dog do all the work!
One way to get moving and practice training a vital dog skill is Hide and Seek. This is a great way for groups of two or more to enjoy a game with your dog. (Think play date.) It has the add benefit of reinforcing your pooch's skills at coming when called, a vital skill in an emergency.
Give everyone a small bag of treats, or even just a handful of dog kibbe. Everyone should find a spot to be just out of sight, then call the dog by name in a fun and excited tone. When he comes, give him a treat and some praise. Take turns, hiding in a new spot after your turn.
Get your creative juices flowing and use some scrap wood and other odds and ends laying around in the garage to build a fun obstacle course in your backyard.
Remember to use plenty of praise, small food rewards, and encouragement when your dog successfully navigates each obstacle. Keep the tone fun and avoid correcting your dog while playing this fun game. When you learn to ignore failure, stay patient, and reward success, you have picked up the basics of reinforcement based dog training. Plus, you will get plenty of exercise in the warm sun!
One of the most enjoyable activities that you can experience with your dog are competitive (but in a fun way) dog sports. You will both look forward to weekly training sessions, road trips for competitions, and meeting lots of other fun people who enjoy the company of our furry friends.
Flyball is a fast paced team sport which involves a 4 dog relay race over jumps to retrieve a ball in timed trials. If you haven't seen it before, you really should check it out. Most areas have a small local club that will help you train your dog, and invite you to compete in regional competitions.
As far as dog sports go, Flyball is one of the cheapest in terms of your up front costs. Training is fairly easy with a focus on fun. And, this sport welcomes all dog breeds and sizes. In fact, since the height of the jump is controlled by the shortest dog on the team, shorty breeds such as Doxies and Jack Russell Terriers are always in demand.
If you have kids aged 10 and up, this is an excellent choice to get them more involved with dog training while getting plenty of exercise. Although many competitions are held on indoor tracks, most of the training and practice is usually outside when the weather is nice.
You may have seen dog agility trials on television as you were flipping through the channels. This outdoor obstacle course is one of the more demanding dog sports on handlers who have to run nearly as much as the dogs!
Although once limited to purebred dogs, the AKC has now opened agility to mixed breeds, adding greatly to its popularity. Although this dog sport has one of the higher learning curves in the dog sport world, for many it is the beginning of a lifelong active passion that gives them a new way to enjoy the outdoors with their dog.
If you are looking for a regular aerobic workout to get your high energy dog in on, then consider training her to join you for a leisurely bike ride. Your running mate will not only benefit from the exercise, her enthusiasm can help you stay motivated to get peddling on a regular schedule.
It should be noted that biking with your furry friend is only suitable for extremely athletic dogs such as Greyhounds, Border Collies, or Labradors. Even then, your pace needs to be relatively slow for their shorter strides to keep up. Make sure to check in regularly and pay close attention if you suspect your dog is getting winded.
Expect a little bit of training to teach your pooch how to run alongside your bike using a specialized bike bar designed to keep your dog safely out of the range of your wheels.
Start by walking the bike to give your dog a chance to get used to this new way of walking. Then, practice very slowly in a safe no traffic environment such as an empty parking lot. Even if your dog gets very good at running alongside your bicycle, it is never a good idea to try this activity around lots of traffic or in when visibility conditions are low such as at dusk or on windy roads.

Gary L. Atkins is an award-winning journalist whose works include the critically acclaimed Gay Seattle: Stories of Exile and Belonging and his new book, Imagining Gay Paradise: Bali, Bangkok and Cyber-Singapore. He specializes in creative non-fiction journalism, fusing an easy-to-read narrative style powered by strong characters with questions about history, geography, communication, and social justice. Gay Seattle follows the 100-year-long saga through which gay men and women imagined their "coming home" – rather than just their "coming out" -- in the context of the Pacific Northwest's famously wet landscape and roguish history. Similarly, Imagining Gay Paradise journeys through a century of imaginings of paradise and manhood by gay men in the tropical geography of Southeast Asia. The story stretches from the end of the colonial empires to the present world of cyberspace, ranging across the development of the aesthetic paradise of Bali in the 1920s and 1930s to the erotic paradise of Bangkok fostered from the 1960s onward, and to the cyber-paradise promoted since the 1990s in Singapore. Gay Seattle was published by the University of Washington Press in 2003 and received numerous accolades for its fusion of journalism and scholarship, including a Washington State Book Award and a national Jesuit Book Award. The University of Hong Kong Press is publishing the hardback edition of Imagining Gay Paradise and is joined by Silkworm Press of Thailand as co-publishers of the paperback edition. Imagining Gay Paradise is also being made available as an e-book. Gary first became interested in writing about age six when his parents gave him a rubber-type printing press. He immediately started producing a newspaper for his local neighborhood in New Orleans. In high school, he initially thought he might become a historian or a biologist – two other strong interests – but eventually he realized that if he entered journalism, he could write about all three of his interests: current political and legal events, history, and nature. He graduated from Loyola University and then Stanford University, served an internship on the Washington Post and joined the Pulitzer-winning Riverside Press-Enterprise in California -- where he won numerous awards for his narrative and environmental reporting and writing. Seattle University hired him to teach in and chair its Communication Department and, in 2005, named him a full professor. He teaches courses in narrative journalism, communication justice, media and sexual/gender justice, and international communication in Asia.
From Exile to Belonging: The New Gay Marriage Story in Washington
February 11, 2012 garyatkins	Leave a comment
This February, the fight for gay and lesbian marriage in Washington state is finally moving toward a successful legislative conclusion — some four decades after two men, Faygele benMiriam and Paul Barwick, went to the court house in King County to demand a license. They were, of course, denied. The two later filed a lawsuit that made its way to the Washington State Court of Appeals which ruled that marriage was between a man and a woman only. What's fascinating, of course, is that both men worked more from a fraternal understanding of how extended and innovative gay relationships could be constructed rather than a romantic mindset. Neither especially believed in that triple supremacy of romantic, heterosexual monogamy — but they did believe queers everywhere had a right to claim whatever type of relationship they wanted. Theirs is one of the many stories you can read in Gay Seattle: Stories of Exile and Belonging.
For the present, the accolades go to those legislators, especially state Senator Ed Murray, who patiently worked through years of objections with a step-by-step approach: a judicial challenge to the states Defense of Marriage Act (sorry to say the judges had not enough courage to strike down the law); a domestic partnership law; an "everything but the marriage word" domestic partnership upgrade; and finally gubernatorial support and legislative success. A new story for another edition of Gay Seattle!

INTERNET ACCOUNTING: BACKGROUND
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
1. Statement of Purpose
This document provides background information for the "Internet Accounting Architecture" and is the first of a three document set:
Internet Accounting Background & Status (this document)
Internet Accounting Architecture        (under construction)
Internet Accounting Meter Service       (under construction)
The focus at this time is on defining METER SERVICES and USAGE REPORTING which provide basic semantics for measuring network utilization, a syntax, and a data reporting protocol. The intent is to produce a set of standards that is of practical use for early experimentation with usage reporting as an internet accounting mechanism.
The architecture should be expandable as additional experience is gained. The short-term Internet Accounting solution is intended to merge with OSI and Autonomous Network Research Group (ANRG) efforts and be superseded by those efforts in the long term. The OSI accounting working groups are currently defining meter syntax and reporting protocols. The ANRG research group is currently researching economic models and accounting tools for the Internet environment.
Internet Accounting as described here does not wrestle with the applications of usage reporting, such as monitoring and enforcing network policy; nor does it recommend approaches to billing or tackle such thorny issues as who pays for packet retransmission.
This document provides background and tutorial information on issues surrounding the architecture, or in a sense, an explanation of choices made in the Internet Accounting Architecture.
2. Goals for a Usage Reporting Architecture
We have adopted the accounting framework and terminology used by OSI (ISO 7498-4 OSI Reference Model Part 4: Management Framework). This framework defines a generalized accounting management activity which includes calculations, usage reporting to users and providers and enforcing various limits on the use of resources. Our own ambitions are considerably more modest in that we are defining an architecture to be used over the short- term (until ISO and ANRG have final pronouncement and standards) that is limited to network USAGE REPORTING.
The OSI accounting model defines three basic entities:
the METER, which performs measurements and aggregates the results of those measurements;
the COLLECTOR, which is responsible for the integrity and security of METER data in short-term storage and transit; and
3) the APPLICATION, which processes/formats/stores METER
data.  APPLICATIONS implicitly manage METERS.
This working group, then, is concerned with specifying the attributes of METERS and COLLECTORS, with little concern at this time for APPLICATIONS.
3. The Usage Reporting Function
3.1. Motivation for Usage Reporting
The dominant motivations for usage reporting are:
Understanding/Influencing Behavior. Usage reporting provides feedback for the subscriber on his use of network resources. The subscriber can better understand his network behavior and measure the impact of modifications made to improve performance or reduce costs.
Measuring Policy Compliance. From the perspective of the network provider, usage reports might show whether or not a subscriber is in compliance with the stated policies for quantity of network usage. Reporting alone is not sufficient to enforce compliance with policies, but reports can indicate whether it is necessary to develop additional methods of enforcement.
Rational Cost Allocation/Recovery. Economic discipline can be used to penalize inefficient network configuration/utilization as well as to reward the efficient. It can be used to encourage bulk transfer at off hours. It can be used as a means to allocate operating costs in a zero-sum budget, and even be used as the basis for billing in a profit-making fee-for-service operation.
The chief deterrent to usage reporting is the cost of measuring usage, which includes:
Reporting/collection overhead. This offers an additional source of computational load and network traffic due to the counting operations, managing the reporting system, collecting the reported data, and storing the resulting counts. Overhead increases with the accuracy and reliability of the accounting data.
Post-processing overhead. Resources are required to maintain the post-processing tasks of maintaining the accounting database, generating reports, and, if appropriate, distributing bills, collecting revenue, servicing subscribers.
Security overhead. The use of security mechanisms will increase the overall cost of accounting. Since accounting collects detailed information about subscriber behavior on the network and since these counts may also represent a flow of money, it is necessary to have mechanisms to protect accounting information from unauthorized disclosure or manipulation.
The balance between cost and benefit is regulated by the GRANULARITY of accounting information collected. This balance is policy- dependent. To minimize costs and maximize benefit, accounting detail is limited to the minimum amount to provide the necessary information for the research and implementation of a particular policy.
3.2. Network Policy and Usage Reporting
Accounting requirements are driven by policy. Conversely, policy is typically influenced by the available management/reporting tools and their cost. This section is NOT a recommendation for billing practices, but intended to provide additional background for understanding the problems involved in implementing a simple, adequate usage reporting system.
Since there are few tools adequate for any form of cost recovery and/or long-term monitoring there are few organizations that practice proactive usage reporting in the Internet. Those that do have generally invented their own. But far and away the most common approach is to treat the cost of network operations as overhead with network reports limited to short-term, diagnostic intervention. But as the population and use of the Internet increases and diversifies, the complexity of paying for that usage also increases. Subsidies and funding mechanisms appropriate to non-profit organizations often restrict commercial use or require that "for profit" use be identified and billed separately from the non-profit use. Tax regulations may require verification of network connection or usage. Some portions of the Internet are distinctly "private", whereas other Internet segments are treated as public, shared infrastructure.
The number of administrations operating in some connection with the Internet is exploding. The network "hierarchy" (backbone, regional, enterprise, stub network) is becoming deeper (more levels), increasingly enmeshed (more cross-connections) and more diversified (different charters and usage patterns). Each of these administrations has different policies and by-laws about who may use an individual network, who pays for it, and how the payment is determined. Also, each administration balances the OVERHEAD costs of accounting (metering, reporting, billing, collecting) against the benefits of identifying usage and allocating costs.
Some members of the Internet community are concerned that the introduction of usage reporting will encourage new billing policies which are detrimental to the current Internet infrastructure (though it is also reasonable to assert that the current lack of usage reporting may be detrimental as well). Caution and experimentation must be the watch words as usage reporting is introduced. Well before meters are used for active BILLING and ENFORCEMENT, they should first be used to:
o UNDERSTAND USER BEHAVIOR
(learn to quantify and/or predict individual and
aggregate traffic patterns over the long term),
QUANTIFY NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS, (measure user and vendor efficiency in how network resources are consumed to provide end-user data transport service) and
MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY.
Accounting policies for network traffic already exist. But they are usually based on network parameters which change seldom, if at all. Such parameters require little monitoring (the line speed of a physical connection, e.g.,Ethernet, 9600 baud, FDDI). The connection to the network is then charged to the subscriber as a FLAT-FEE regardless of the amount of traffic passed across the connection and is similar to the monthly unlimited local service phone bill.
Usage-insensitive access charges are sufficient in many cases, and can be preferable to usage-based charging in Internet environments, for financial, technical, and social reasons. Sample incentives for the FLAT-FEE billing approach are:
FINANCIAL: Predictable monthly charges. No overhead costs for counting packets and preparing usage-based reports.
TECHNICAL: Easing the sharing of resources. Eliminating the headaches of needing another layer of accounting in proxy servers which associate their usage with their clients'. Examples of proxy servers which generate network traffic on behalf of the actual user or subscriber are mail daemons, network file servers, and print spoolers.
SOCIAL: Treating the network as an unregulated public infrastructure with equal access and information sharing. Encouraging public-spirited behavior -- contributing to public mailing lists, information distribution, etc.
In other cases USAGE-SENSITIVE charges may be preferred or required by a local administration's policy. Government regulations or the wishes of subscribers with low or intermittent traffic patterns may force the issue (note: FLAT FEES are beneficial for heavy network users. USAGE SENSITVE charges generally benefit the low-volume user). Where usage-sensitive accounting is used, cost ceilings and floors may still be established by static parameters, such as "pipe size" for fixed connections or "connection time" for dial-up connection, to satisfy the need for some predictability.
Different billing schemes may be employed depending on network measures of distance. For example, local network traffic may be flat-rate and remote internet traffic may be usage-based, analogous to the local and long distance billing policies adopted by the telephone companies.
The ANRG is independently investigating policy models and infrastructure economics for billing and cost recovery.
3.3. The Nature of Usage Accounting
Although the exact requirements for internet usage accounting will vary from one network administration to the next and will depend on policies and cost trade-offs, it is possible to characterize the problem in some broad terms and thereby bound it. Rather than try to solve the problem in exhaustive generality (providing for every imaginable set of accounting requirements), some assumptions about usage accounting are posited in order to make the problem tractable and to render implementations feasible. Since these assumptions form the basis for our architectural and design work, it is important to make them explicit from the outset and hold them up to the scrutiny of the Internet community.
3.3.1. A Model for Internet Accounting
We begin with the assumption that there is a "network administrator" or "network administration" to whom internet accounting is of interest. He "owns" and operates some subset of the internet (one or more connected networks)that may be called his "administrative domain". This administrative domain has well defined boundaries.
our domain X
/    |   |   |   |
/                 |           C
/                ------       /
Network A            /    | \     /
-----     (diagonals        \___/____
| | |      cross admin.      domain B
boundaries)
The network administrator is interested in 1) traffic within his boundaries and 2) traffic crossing his boundaries. Within his boundaries he may be interested in end-system to end-system accounting or accounting at coarser granularities (e.g., department to department).
The network administrator is usually not interested in accounting for end-systems outside his administrative domain; his primary concern is accounting to the level of other ADJACENT (directly connected) administrative domains. Consider the viewpoint of the administrator for domain X of the internet. The idea is that he will send each adjacent administrative domain a bill (or other statement of accounting) for its use of his resources and it will send him a bill for his use of its resources. When he receives an aggregate bill from Network A, if he wishes to allocate the charges to end users or subsystems within his domain, it is HIS responsibility to collect accounting data about how they used the resources of Network A. If the "user" is in fact another administrative domain, B, (on whose behalf X was using A's resources) the administrator for X just sends his counterpart in B a bill for the part of X's bill attributable to B's usage. If B was passing traffic for C, them B bills C for the appropriate portion X's charges, and so on, until the charges percolate back to the original end user, say G. Thus, the administrator for X does not have to account for G's usage; he only has to account for the usage of the administrative domains directly adjacent to himself.
This paradigm of recursive accounting may, of course, be used WITHIN an administrative domain that is (logically) comprised of sub- administrative domains.
The discussion of the preceding paragraphs applies to a general mesh topology, in which any Internet constituent domain may act as a service provider for any connected domain. Although the Internet topology is in fact such a mesh, there is a general hierarchy to its structure and hierarchical routing (when implemented) will make it logically hierarchical as far as traffic flow is concerned. This logical hierarchy permits a simplification of the usage accounting perspective.
At the bottom of the service hierarchy a service-consuming host sits on one of many "stub" networks. These are interconnected into an enterprise-wide extended LAN, which in turn receives Internet service, typically from a single attachment to a regional backbone. Regional backbones receive national transport services from national backbones such as NSFnet, Alternet, PSInet, CERFnet, NSInet, or Nordunet. In this scheme each level in the hierarchy has a constituency, a group for which usage reporting is germane, in the level underneath it. In the case of the NSFnet the natural constituency, for accounting purposes at least, is the regional nets (MIDnet, SURAnet,...). For the regionals it will be their member institutions; for the institutions, their stub networks; and for the stubs, their individual hosts.
3.3.2. Implications of the Model
The significance of the model sketched above is that Internet accounting must be able to support accounting for adjacent (intermediate) systems, as well as end-system accounting. Adjacent system accounting information cannot be derived from end-system accounting (even if complete end-system accounting were feasible) because traffic from an end-system may reach the administrative domain of interest through different adjacent domains, and it is the adjacent domain through which it passes that is of interest.
The need to support accounting for adjacent intermediate systems means that internet accounting will require information not present in internet protocol headers (these headers contain source and destination addresses of end-systems only). This information may come from lower layer protocols (network or link layer) or from configuration information for boundary components (e.g., "what system is connected to port 5 of this IP router").
4. Meters
A METER is a process which examines a stream of packets on a communications medium or between a pair of media. The meter records aggregate counts of packets belonging to FLOWs between communicating entities (hosts/processes or aggregations of communicating hosts (domains)). The assignment of packets to flows may be done by executing a series of rules. Meters can reasonably be implemented in any of three environments -- dedicated monitors, in routers or in general-purpose systems.
Meter location is a critical decision in internet accounting. An important criterion for selecting meter location is cost, i.e., REDUCING ACCOUNTING OVERHEAD and MINIMIZING THE COST OF IMPLEMENTATION.
In the trade-off between overhead (cost of accounting) and detail, ACCURACY and RELIABILITY play a decisive role. Full accuracy and reliability for accounting purposes require that EVERY packet must be examined. However, if the requirement for accuracy and reliability is relaxed, statistical sampling may be more practical and sufficiently accurate, and DETAILED ACCOUNTING is not required at all. Accuracy and reliability requirements may be less stringent when the purpose of usage-reporting is solely to understand network behavior, for network design and performance tuning, or when usage reporting is used to approximate cost allocations to users as a percentage of total fees.
Overhead costs are minimized by accounting at the coarsest acceptable
GRANULARITY, i.e., using the greatest amount of AGGREGATION possible to limit the number of accounting records generated, their size, and the frequency with which they are transmitted across the network or otherwise stored.
The other cost factor lies in implementation. Implementation will necessitate the development and introduction of hardware and software components into the internet. It is important to design an architecture that tends to minimize the cost of these new components.
4.1. Meter Placement
In the model developed above, the Internet may be viewed as a hierarchical system of service providers and their corresponding constituencies. In this scheme the service provider accounts for the activity of the constituents or service consumers. Meters should be placed to allow for optimal data collection for the relevant constituency and technology. Meters are most needed at administrative boundaries and data collected such that service provider and consumer are able to reconcile their activities.
Routers (and/or bridges) are by definition and design placed (topologically) at these boundaries and so it follows that the most generally convenient place to position accounting meters is in or near the router. But again this depends on the underlying transport. Whenever the service-providing network is broadcast (e.g., bus- based), not extended (i.e., without bridging or routing), then meter placement is of no particular consequence. If one were generating usage reports for a stub LAN, meters could reasonably be placed in a router, a dedicated monitor, or a host at any point on the LAN. Where an enterprise-wide network is a LAN, the same observation holds. At the boundary between an enterprise and a regional network, however, in or near a router is an appropriate location for meters that will measure the enterprise's network activity.
Meters are placed in (or near) routers to count packets at the Internet Protocol Level. All traffic flows through two natural metering points: hosts and routers (Internet packet switches). Hosts are the ultimate source and sink of all traffic. Routers monitor all traffic which passes IN or OUT of each network. Motivations for selecting the routers as the metering points are:
Minimization of cost and overhead. (by concentrating the accounting function). Centralize and minimize in terms of number of geographical or administrative regions, number of protocols monitored, and number of separate implementations modified. (Hosts are too diverse and numerous for easy standardization.
Routers concentrate traffic and are more homogeneous.)
Traffic control. When and if usage sensitive quotas are involved, changes in meter status (e.g., exceeding a quota) would result in an active influence on network traffic (the router starts denying access). A passive measuring device cannot control network access in response to detecting state.
Intermediate system accounting. As discussed above, internet accounting includes both end-system and intermediate system accounting. Hosts see only end-system traffic; routers see both the end-systems (internet source and destination) and the adjacent intermediate systems.
Therefore, meters should be placed at:
administrative boundaries only for measuring inter-domain traffic;
stub networks for measuring intra-domain traffic. For intra-domain traffic, the requirement for performing accounting at almost every router is a disincentive for implementing a usage-based charging policy.
4.2. Meter Types
Four possible types of metering technology are:
Network monitors: These measure only traffic WITHIN a single network. They include LAN monitors, X.25 call accounting systems and traffic monitors in bridges.
Line monitors: These count packets flowing across a circuit. They would be placed on inter-router trunks and on router ports.
Router-integral meters: These are meters located within a router, implemented in software. They count packets flowing through the router.
Router spiders: This is a set of line monitors that surround a router, measure traffic on all of its ports and coordinate the results.
4.3. Meter Structure
While topology argues in favor of meters in routers, granularity and security favor dedicated monitors. The GRANULARITY of the accountable entity (and its attributes) affects the amount of overhead incurred for accounting. Each entity/attribute/reporting interval combination is a separate meter. Each individual meter takes up local memory and requires additional memory or network resources when the meter reports to the application. Memory is a limited resource, and there are cost implications to expanding memory significantly or increasing the frequency of reporting. The number of concurrent flows open in a router is controlled by
the granularity of the accountable entity
the granularity of the attributes and sub-categories of packets
memory (the number of flows that can be stored concurrently, a limit which can also be expressed as the average number of flows existing at this granularity plus some delta, e.g., peak hour average plus one standard deviation, or ...)
the reporting interval (the lifetime of an individual meter)
There is a spectrum of granularity control which ranges across the following dimensions. (Most administrations will probably choose a granularity somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.)
ENTITY:  Entities range across the spectrum from the coarsest
granularity, PORT (a local view with a unique designation for the
subscriber port through which packets enter and exit "my"
network) through NETWORK and HOST to USER (not defined here).
The port is the minimum granularity of accounting.  HOST is the
finest granularity defined here.  Where verification is required,
a network should be able to perform accounting at the granularity
its subscribers use.  Hosts are ultimately responsible for
identifying the end user, since only the hosts have unambiguous
access to user identification.  This information could be shared
with the network, but it is the host's responsibility to do so,
and there is no mechanism in place at this time (e.g., an IP
option, discussed in section 4.).
ATTRIBUTE:  Each new attribute requires that an additional flow
be maintained for each entity.  The coarsest granularity is NO
categorization of packets. The finest granularity would be to maintain state information about the higher-levels protocols or type of service being used by communicating processes across the network.
VALUES:  Values are the information which is recorded for each
entity/attribute grouping.  Usually values are counters, such as
packet counts and byte counts.  They may also be time stamps -
start time and stop time, or reasons for starting or stopping
reporting.
REPORTING INTERVAL:  At the very finest level of granularity,
each data packet might generate a separate accounting record.  To
report traffic at this level of detail would require
approximately one packet of accounting information for every data
packet sent.  The reporting interval is then zero and no memory
will be needed for flow record storage.  For a non-zero reporting
interval flow records must be maintained in memory.  Storage for
stale (old, infrequent) flows may be recycled when their data has
been reported.  As the reporting interval increases, more and
more stale records accumulate.
The feasibility of a particular group of granularities varies with the PERFORMANCE characteristics of the network (link speed, link bandwidth, router processing speed, router memory), as well as the COST of accounting balanced against the requirement for DETAIL. Since technological advances can quickly obsolete current technical limitations, and since the policy structure and economics of the Internet are in flux, meters will be defined with VARYING GRANULARITY which is regulated according to the traffic requirements of the individual network or administration and technical limitations.
4.4. Collection Issues
There are two implicit assumptions about the nature of meters and traffic sources that they measure, both of which have substantial bearing on collectors.
1. The matrix of communicating entity pairs is large but sparse and, moreover, network traffic exhibits considerable source, destination and attribute coherence - so that lists can be quite compact.
2. Meters can be configured to generate either a static set of variables whose values are incremented, or a stream of records that must be periodically transferred and removed from the meter's memory.
Meters can generate large, unstructured amounts of information and the essential collection issue revolves around mapping collection activities into an SNMP framework (or, to the extent that this is not successful, specifying other collection paradigms).
There are three major collection concerns:
local and remote collection control
The prime security concern is preserving the confidentiality of usage data. (See ISO 7498 Part 2, "Security Architecture," for security terminology used herein.) Given that accounting data are sensitive, the collector should be able (or may be required) to provide confidentiality for accounting data at the point of collection, through transmission and up to the point where the data is delivered. The delivery function may also require authentication of the origin and destination and provision for connection integrity (if connections are utilized). Other security services (e.g., measures to counter denial of service attacks) are not deemed necessary for internet accounting at this time. It is assumed that security services can be provided by SNMP and its mechanisms. (This will require further investigation.)
In order to have an accurate monitoring system, reliable delivery of data should be assured through one or more of:
an acknowledgement retransmission scheme;
o redundant reporting to multiple collectors;
o having backup storage located at the meter.
There is a place for both application polling and meter traps within this scheme, but there are significant trade-offs associated with each.
Polling means that the collection point has some control over when accounting data is sent, so that not all meters flood the collector at once. However, polling messages, particularly when structured with SNMP's GET-NEXT operator, add considerable overhead to the network. Meter traps are required in any case (whether or not polling is the preferred collection method), so that a meter may rid itself of data when its cache is full.
The fundamental collection trade-off will be between primary and secondary storage at the meter, coupled with an efficient bulk- transfer protocol, versus minimal storage at the meter and a network-bandwidth-consuming collection discipline.
A final collection concern is whether packets should be counted on entry into a router or upon exit from a router. It is the nature of IP that not every packet received by a router is actually passed to an output port. The Internet Protocol allows routers to discard packets (e.g., in times of congestion when the router cannot handle the offered load); it is presumed that higher level protocols (e.g., TCP) will provide whatever reliable delivery service the user deems necessary (by detecting non- delivery and retransmitting).
The question arises, therefore, whether an internet accounting system should count all packets offered to a router (since each packet offered consumes some router resources) or just those that are finally passed by the router to a network (why should a user pay for undelivered packets?) Since there are good arguments for either position, we do not attempt to resolve this issue here. (It should be noted, however, that SMDS has chosen to count on exit only.) Rather, we require that an internet accounting should provide ability for counting packets either way -- on entry to or on exit from a router.
5. Examples
Here follows a series of examples to illustrate what data may be of interest to service providers and consumers in a number of different scenarios. In the illustrations that follow straight lines are interpreted as some sort of LAN. Diagonals are point- to-point links. Diamonds are routers. We assume that we are in a homogeneous protocol environment (IP).
5.1 A Single Segment LAN
Consumers and providers on a single LAN service can utilize the same
set of data:  the contribution of individual hosts to total network
load.  A network accounting system measures flows between individual
host pairs. (On a broadcast LAN, e.g., an Ethernet, this can be
accomplished by a single meter placed anywhere on the LAN.)  Using
this data, costs for the network management activity can be
apportioned to individual hosts or the departments that own/manage
the hosts.
Alternately, flows can be kept by source only, rather than source- destination pairs.
5.2 An Extended (Campus or Facility-Wide) LAN
128.252.100.X            128.252.150.X            128.253.220.X
+----------------+       +----------------+      +----------------+
|                        |                        |
/ \                      / \                      / \
128.252.100.10           128.252.150.10           128.253.220.10
\ /                      \ /                      \ /
+--+-+----------------------+-+----------------------+-+-+
+-----------------+      +-----------------+      +----------------+
128.252.130.X           128.252.120.X           128.253.140.X
This is the first example in which the information that is germane for service provider and consumer are not identical. The service consumers are now the individual subnets and the service provider is the facility-wide backbone. A service provider is interested in knowing the contribution of individual subnets to the total traffic of the backbone. In order to ascertain this, a meter on the backbone (the longest line in the center of the illustration) can keep track of flows between subnet pairs. Now the communications between individual hosts on adjacent subnets are aggregated into a single flow that measures activity between subnets.
The service consumers, or subnets, might in turn want to keep track of the communications between individual hosts that use the services of the backbone. An accounting system on the backbone could be configured to monitor traffic among individual host pairs. Alternately an accounting system on each individual subnet could keep track of local and "non-local" traffic. The observed data of the two sets of meters (one for the service provider and one for the service consumers) should have reconcilable data.
5.3 A Regional Network

|              +           +              |

128.242  |----- 128.242.10.10   128.252.10.10 -----|  128.252
|             \ /         \ /             |
\         /
\       /
\     /
\ + /
In this example we have a regional network consisting of a ring of point-to-point links that interconnect a collection of campus-wide LANs. Again service provider and consumer have differing interests and needs for accounting data. The service provider, the regional network, again will be interested in the contribution of each individual network to the total traffic on the regional network. This interest might extend to include measure of individual link utilization, and not just total offered load to the network as a whole. In this latter case the service provider will require that meters be placed at one end or the other on each link. For the service consumer, the individual campus, relevant measures would include the contribution of individual subnets or hosts to the total "outbound" traffic. Meter(s) placed in (or at) the router that connects the campus- network to the regional network can perform the necessary measurement.
5.4 A National Backbone

___|____      \       /        ___|____
____|____
In this last case, the data that the service provider will want to collect is the traffic between regional networks. The flow that measures a regional network, or regional network pairs, is defined as the union of all member-campus network address spaces. This can be arrived at by keeping multiple individual network address flows and developing the regional network contribution as post-processing activity, or by defining a flow that is the union of all the relevant addresses. (This is a cpu cycles for memory trade-off.) Note that if the service provider measures individual network contributions, then this data is, in large
measure, the data that the service consumers would require.
6. Future Issues
This last section is the collector for ancillary issues that are as yet undefined or out of current scope.
APPLICATIONS standards:  Recommendations for storage, processing and
reporting are left out for the moment.  Storage and processing of
accounting information is dependent on individual network policy.
Recommendations for standardizing billing schemes would be premature.
QUOTAS are a form of closed loop feedback that represent an interesting extension of usage reporting. But they will have to wait until the basic accounting technology is reasonably defined and has been the subject of a reasonable amount of experimentation.
SESSION ACCOUNTING:  Detailed auditing of individual sessions across
the internet (at level four or higher) will not be addressed by
internet accounting.  Internet accounting deals only with measuring
traffic at the IP level.
APPLICATION LEVEL ACCOUNTING:  Service hosts and proxy agents have to
do their own accounting for services, since the network cannot
distinguish on whose behalf they are acting.  Alternately, TCP/UDP
port numbers could become an optional field in a meter, since the
conjunction of a pair of IP addresses and port numbers occurring at a
particular time uniquely identifies a pair of communicating
The USER has not yet been defined, since an IP option would have to be added to the IP header to provide for this. This option would probably contain two parts - a subscriber identification and a user sub-identification - to allow for the later introduction of quota mechanisms which have both group and individual quotas. The subscriber is the fiscally responsible entity, for example the manager of a research group. In any case, routers must be able to fall back to accounting by host, since there will most certainly be hosts on the network which do not implement a new IP option in a timely fashion.

Creating more storage and a better flow throughout their kitchen and bar area were top on the list of these homeowners' priorities when remodeling their kitchen. They worked with Normandy Designer Chris Ebert to achieve their goals, and were ecstatic with their award winning kitchen and bar area's renovation.
"I recommended removing the existing peninsula, which was creating an unwanted barrier between the kitchen and seating area, and not utilizing the full potential of the space. The peninsula was replaced with an island, meeting several of the homeowners' needs. The new island created a better flow in the kitchen, added storage space and more seating than the perimeter had provided," says Chris. It also opened up a corner to add a desk area facing the windows. A custom furniture piece was also added to sit between the family room and eating area to house large platters and necessities for entertaining, as well as to provide a buffet area. An earthy, neutral porcelain tile was chosen for the kitchen's backsplash, not only for the easy cleaning, but to ensure that it wouldn't compete with the beautiful view from the kitchen windows.
"To further enhance the flow of the room, we removed the majority of the structural wall that blocked the bar from the kitchen," commented Chris, "We then enlarged the bar countertop to fill in where there was dead space to make everything proportional, allowing better work space and increased storage behind the bar." A recycled glass and quartz countertop was selected, providing not only a beautiful, but durable surface as well.
The final result exceeded the homeowners' goals and hopes for their kitchen, and true to Normandy's standards, was on time and within the proposed budget. To really top things off, this kitchen recently received a Remodeling Excellence Award from NARI Chicagoland. To achieve your ideal space, schedule a complimentary, in-home consultation with Chris today.

CBS stands behind its decision to renew Bull
Wed May 15, 2019 at 12:35am ET Sat Jul 04, 2020 at 12:35 am EDT

When CBS issued their list of TV shows returning in the fall, one stood out above the rest: Bull.
Always a ratings juggernaut, the show and the network came under fire when the show's star, Michael Weatherly, was accused of sexual harassment by his now former costar, Eliza Dushku, last year.
Last December, Dushku wrote her side of the story about what it was like working with Weatherly including "his constant name-calling, playing provocative songs (like 'Barracuda') on his iPhone when I approached my set marks, and his remark about having a threesome." She said that the actor's antics went way beyond jokes.
With all of the negative press about Weatherly and a drop in ratings, many people were surprised to learn that the show had been renewed.
I see where CBS quietly renewed Bull. A show whose lead is surrounded by scandal gets renewed, yet a show that has NO outside drama, NO scandal surrounding it-heck, they considered CRAP a swear word lol-gets cancelled. #SaveScorpion

— GROW Girlathon (@GrowGirlathon) May 10, 2019
Entertainment Weekly reported today that CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl defended his decision to not only keep the show, but keep Weatherly as well.
"When it came time to make a decision, we looked at it through a fresh lens, with new eyes, because a lot of us were learning about it for a first time. We reassessed what happened.
"First and foremost, Michael made a mistake in his comments, he owned that mistake, he apologized at the time. He was remorseful and he apologized again when it came out. He indicated he was willing to take any kind of coaching, whatever training deemed necessary to create a positive environment."
That isn't to say that Weatherly, or anyone else who works on the show, isn't being watched. Kahl has said that in order to protect future victims, complaints can be made through an anonymous phone line or email address.
Bull joins a long list of returning shows on CBS including Seal Team, S.W.A.T., Madam Secretary, Hawaii Five-O, Macgyver, 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Young Sheldon, Mom, Criminal Minds, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Blue Bloods, FBI, God Friended Me, The Neighborhood and Magnum P.I.

ROY KEANE has ripped into Manchester United players for being "weak", days after Jose Mourinho was sacked.
Jose Mourinho was given the boot on Tuesday (December 19), with midfielder Pogba reportedly "celebrating" his departure from the club.
Pogba was involved in an infamous fallout with the United manager and was also relegated to the bench in the final weeks of Mourinho's reign.
Lukaku also came under fire this month over his perceived weight gain following the World Cup.
In the wake of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment, fellow United legend Roy Keane has condemned the behaviour of some of the team's players.
"I do think the players get away with murder," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Specifically, the Irish football icon called out players who "turn up overweight, aren't playing properly and aren't producing".
"I'm not Mourinho's biggest fan, don't get me wrong, but I can't tolerate footballers who hide behind their agents," he said.
"Shame on some of them players.
"No matter what's going on in your club, when you go out on that pitch – especially for a big club like United – you go out and give it your all, no excuses.
"I was very lucky with the dressing room I was in – it had good men, good leaders, good characters – but that is definitely in shortage in the game now.
More than 20,000 people have seen the clip since it was shared to Twitter today.
"Love him or hate him Keane talks a lot of sense," one wrote.

Q: iOS 11 | CSS: Background render issue I have a "menu container" which in this case is:

This "menu container" has the following properties:
background: #096538;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;

This "menu container" has a height of 0px whenever the content of the "menu container" is being hidden. Its using the Bootstrap mobile menu trigger(with classes such as "collapse navbar-collapse").
Now to the problem:
One of our developers used position: absolute; on the "menu container". In iOS 11 in combination with Safari the background: #096538; is not being rendered upon expanding the content of "menu container". It works once I use position: relative;
I would like to know why it is not being rendered upon using: position: absolute;
