Itchy bumps on skin are some of the most common symptoms found in skin rashes. Skin rashes may not really imply a particular illness or disease. Itchy bumps on skin, particularly the red ones can be due to fungal infections, bacterial infections or may be due to insect bites or allergies. Given below are some of the causes of itchy bumps on skin
Causes of itchy bumps on skin
1. Insect bites- Red itchy bumps on skin are associated with insect bites that of fleas, mosquitoes, bugs, mites and spiders. The bumps are formed due to toxins that are released into the bloodstream by these insects.
2. Allergic reaction- Itchy bumps on the skin can also be caused due to some foods that may not agree with you or certain medications that may trigger an allergic reaction. This can lead to raised formations on the skin and sores. If you find out that the raised, itchy bumps on the skin is due to some medication, stop immediately and see a doctor. There are also various detergents, household chemicals and soaps that can cause allergies.
3. Shingles- Shingles caused due to the varicella-zoster virus can also cause itchy red bumps on the skin. This is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Though it is said that once chickenpox goes away, it does not come back, one should know the strain of the virus remains and can come back in the form of shingles, causing itching, rash and bumps on the skin. The person may also develop burning pain in the area, headache and fever. Shingles can be treated with antiviral medication, analgesics and steroids.
4. Folliculitis- There can be little red dots on the skin trigged by the inflammation of hair follicles causing Folliculitis. This is caused due to damage to the hair follicles due to shaving, abrasion, injury to the skin etc. An eczema rash can also cause Folliculitis.
5. Hives-Hives or welts are also itchy bumps on the skin that are either red or pink These can appear and disappear on their own within a few hours. The disorder is caused due to certain antibiotics, mediation and painkillers. At times, allergens in the environment like pollen, mold, allergens in the food, stress and even climatic changes can cause hives.
6. Poison Ivy- Poison Ivy is a skin reaction to the stems, leaves and roots of the poison ivy or poison oak. The result can be in the form of itchy, red bumps on the skin. The reaction canbe seen in a day or two after the skin is exposed to the poison ivy.
7. Scabies- Scabies caused due to sarcoptes scabei mites, is a skin condition that causes pustules and blisters on the skin, soles of the feet and palm area. This is followed by intense itching. Scabies is contagious and is spread by scratching, sharing toilets, furniture, bedding, towels, clothing etc. Scabies are in the form of S-shaped tracks on the skin that are followed by insect bite type rashes.
8. Dermatitis Herpetiformis- This is the chronic skin disorder that is in the form of itchy bumps on the skin and even pus-filled blisters. Dermatitis Herpetiformis can affect the neck, back, knees, elbows and scalp. The exact cause of the skin disorder has not been found but doctors think that there is a connection to gluten tolerance.
While diagnosing the skin disorder, the doctor will look at the affected skin area, look at the rash and its intensity, ask you questions and even do a biopsy, if needed, to find out the cause of itchy bumps on skin.

Dear Bend, Oregon: We're sorry we ever doubted your prowess as a magnet for the adventurer, the athlete, or the foodie. We apologize that during our previous prime-time summer visits, we found your city too laden with tourists, too inauthentic in the sameness of its neighborhoods, too flat in its diversity, too filled with traffic for a city that seems it ought to carry a small-town vibe. While everyone raved about your accessibility to stellar trails, mountain biking, skiing, running and paddling, we saw unfortunate city sprawl, master-planned subdivisions with copycat homes, and tourists. Lots of tourists. We had almost entirely written off Bend as an outdoor city on our short list of cool places to potentially live. But, initial impressions, while still steeped in truth, are still worth questioning.Read more

Why? The amount of land a city controls doesn't correlate to its success or financial prosperity.
Yes it does. If Omaha were to let Bennington annex all of west Douglas County outside of Omaha, or let Valley and Waterloo merge and take the trans-Elkhorn area with them, we would find ourselves in the city equivalent of OPS (pretty much like St Louis.) OPS pooped their bed back in the 60s when Millard was far away, 66 was really high taxes, Bellevue was owned by the air force, and Papio-LaVista were small towns in the country. By letting the school district go to seed in the mid 60s, lots of people took off in a wave of "green flight" where everyone who had the green to fly did so. This wave of multiracial out-migration was then followed by white flight in the early 70s. Leaving OPS weakened further and the people with money living in 66, and the people with enough to get out of OPS living in Millard and Ralston. Now OPS struggles and the surrounding districts get stronger.
This same thing happens in places like STL or Dallas where people with money would rather their tax money go to a park or school they will benefit from rather than yet more central city "investment".

March 16, 2014 | Posted in: Training
Twenty years ago I learned to program my brain to work on positive things while I was sleeping. As inspired as that sounds, it came with the unexpected gift of giving permission to be softly awakened by angels. Not occasionally. But every single gosh darn day.
The "angels" are of my own making. They are my predominant waking thoughts, draped in what feels like the softest, gentlest nudge. Never frightening. Always benign. Always cloaked in light. They are always different. Only one appears each day (it's as if my thoughts have learned to stand in line and wait patiently for their turn to wake me).
Akin to having the kindest, unseen, unheard presence sitting on the side of my bed, when my eyes open, regardless of any difficult or unpleasant circumstance with which I may be dealing, I am always happy.
Today's waking thought:
There are three things to master.
- Be Happy. Learning something new [each day] insures your happiness.
- Do Healthy. Making smart choices keeps you healthy.
- Laugh Heartily. Laughter enriches, strengthens and brings joy.
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." ~ Hebrews 13:2 KJV
My thoughts are not strangers to me. They are angels of which I am aware.

This list is the first in a projected series of genre introduction lists intended to provide extensive overviews of various speculative subgenres. They aim to provide a resource for anyone who is interested in a particular subgenre but doesn't quite know where to start.
While this list is by no means all-encompassing, we believe that if you read some of these books you will have a working knowledge of what steampunk is all about. If you read all of them, we will be forced to bow down and acknowledge you as being well on your way to becoming a steampunk virtuoso.
Steampunk is a hard subgenre to evaluate since the decision to classify a novel as steampunk often relates to aesthetics and may have little to do with the overall plot or feel of the novel. Thus, most steampunk novels fit into other genres as well, such as steampunk-romance, steampunk-adventure, steampunk-mystery, dark-steampunk and so on.
Therefore, when choosing books for this list, I have endeavored to explore all sides of steampunk by presenting a selection of books with varying styles, vastly different plots and different themes. I've also tried to achieve a balance between the old and the new, with approximately half the books on the list being classics of the genre and the other half being more contemporary works.
For simplicity's sake, I did not included works that anticipated aspects of steampunk, such as H. G. Wells' The Time Machine and the various works of Jules Verne, which were actually written in the Victorian era. However, such works are definitely still worth a look for those interested in seeing how steampunk evolved over time.
Many of the books on the list are installments in longer series. Thus, in order to showcase a wider array of novels I have only included one book—usually the first in the series. No one needs my help to pick up the second book in a series if they enjoyed the first.
So, I hope you enjoy the list and find it helpful. Now let's get reading and see what steampunky tales take your fancy!
|The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers (1983)
|This multi-award-winning novel is considered one of the founding works of the subgenre. It takes first place on our list as a perfect entry point into steampunk by virtue of being both a classic and a highly accessible work much loved by fantasy and science fiction fans. The Anubis Gates is a dazzlingly imaginative tale with an eccentric cast of characters including an English Professor, an ancient Egyptian sorcerer, poet Lord Byron, and a werewolf with serious hair growth issues.
|The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson (1995)
|The Diamond Age is technically set in the future and should therefore probably be classified as post-cyberpunk, however it takes place in a neo-Victorian society and contains many elements typical of steampunk. The 'Primer' itself is a remarkable interactive book intended to educate aristocratic young ladies. However, what happens if this knowledge falls not into the hands of its intended audience, but finds its way to a street urchin in the city's slums? The winner of both the Hugo and Locus awards, The Diamond Age is almost prescribed reading for any speculative fiction fan and a must for anyone seeking a well-rounded steampunk 'education.'
|The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling (1990)
|The Difference Engine is considered by many to be the foremost example of the steampunk subgenre and is therefore a must-read for any budding steampunk aficionado. The story takes place in an alternative 1855 London where not only is the industrial revolution is in full swing, but the computer age has begun over a century earlier after the invention of a revolutionary analytical engine by mathematician Charles Babbage.
|Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve (2001)
|Another novel set in a neo-Victorian far future era, Mortal Engines is the first book in Reeve's acclaimed quartet by the same name. A favorite for both young adult and older readers, it is set in a post-apocalyptic world complete with roaming 'traction cities' and a strict social class structure. Municipal Darwinism is the order of the day, with larger cities hunting down and consuming smaller settlements for their resources. The starting line says it all, really—"It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea." A stunning tale of adventure, sinister plots and betrayal, Mortal Engines is possibly the most famous steampunk novel written in the last decade and begins what is considered by many to be one of the finest—if not the finest—steampunk series.
|Infernal Devices by K. W. Jeter (1987)
|A classic by the very man who coined the term 'steampunk,' Infernal Devices tells the story of George Dower, an idle young gentleman who has inherited his father's watchmaking business despite having little inclination for clockwork. George, however, is blissfully unaware of the full extent of his father's creations. This novel of Victorian London features automatons, fish people, time travel and sexual intrigue.
|Boneshaker by Cherie Priest (2009)
|Boneshaker is the first book in the award winning series The Clockwork Century by Cherie Priest, the 'high priestess of steampunk'. Set in an alternative 1880's America in the midst of civil war, Boneshaker is an engrossing and ultimately human tale involving a son's quest to clear his father's name and a mother's quest to protect her son. Successfully combining elements of fantasy, science fiction, history and horror, The Clockwork Century series comes highly recommended. Sounds good? You can check out our review of Boneshaker here. Oh, and did I mention that it has zombies?
|Perdido Street Station by China Mieville (2000)
|Another award winner, Perdido Street Station is set in the strange world of Bas-Lag where thaumaturgy (magic) and steampunk technology coexist. This outrageously imaginative novel is a bit of a departure from more traditional steampunk, and is probably best defined as 'weird fiction'. Nevertheless, we feel it wholly deserves its place on this list as a prime example of the flexibility of steampunk elements and how they can be worked into such a vast array of different worlds and stories. Not all steampunk must be confined to Victorian London. Furthermore, this novel frequently appears in lists of the best science fiction and fantasy novels of all time. We all need a little bit of weird in our lives, after all.
|Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld (2009)
|Westerfeld's Leviathan is a fan favorite and the first in a trilogy of the same name. Additionally, it has won numerous awards since publication and its appeal transcends the YA/adult barrier, delighting readers of all ages. This story takes place at the beginning of World War I and follows the adventures of prodigal British Air pilot Deryn—who is actually a young girl in disguise—and Prince Aleksander, the dethroned heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. In this version of the war, however, the Central Powers use huge mechanical war machines while the Entente Powers use specially evolved colossal war beasts in battle.
|Morlock Night by K. W. Jeter (1979)
|Okay, Jeter gets another entry on the list, this time a stand-alone. After all, we have to give the guy some credit for inventing the term 'steampunk'. For those that missed the title's allusion, this story is a continuation of H. G. Wells' The Time Machine. The brutish Morlocks that Wells' protagonist encountered in the far future acquire a machine of their own and arrive in Victorian England, causing destruction and mayhem. However, some great heroes of legend have also returned to fight for their country's future.
|Steampunk (anthology) edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer (2008)
|This entry may be considered cheating as it is an anthology, and an anthology titled Steampunk at that. Nevertheless it is a great work, incorporating stories from many great authors including Neal Stephensen, James Blaylock and Michael Moorcock. The title says it all really. It doesn't get more steampunk than this.
|The Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock (1971)
|An early example of steampunk, The Warlord of the Air is the first in a series featuring Victorian air captain Oswald Bastable. Bastable finds himself transported from 1902 to an alternate version of 1973 where technology has evolved somewhat differently and World War I never happened. A steampunk time travel classic.
|Homunculus by James P. Blaylock (1986)
|An award winning classic, Homunculus involves an alternate 1970's London, no stranger to aliens, perversity and the reanimated dead. A dirigible with a dead pilot has been tracing a decaying orbit around the city for years. The mysterious airship arouses the interest of parties which include the Royal Society, an explorer, and a half alien evangelist named Shiloh. Fascinating, darkly atmospheric, absurd and brilliant.
|The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman (2010)
|A fantastical steampunk reimaging of the American West, The Half-Made World is the first volume in a planned duology. The world is left unfinished, its creation put on hold as demonic spirits from two rival factions, the Line and the Gun, battle for supremacy. They go about their war by manifesting in technology and using humans as weapons. Humankind's only chance of freedom lies in the hands of a psychologist and her patient, an old general with a shattered mind that may just hold the secret to victory against the spirits. Want to know more? Check out our review.
|The Alchemy of Stone by Ekaterina Sedia (2008)
|Filled with romance, magic and political intrigue, The Alchemy of Stone tells the story of a self-aware automaton named Mattie who discovers a talent for alchemy. As the old regime gives way to a new world order, she finds herself caught up in the conflict between the Gargoyles, the Alchemists, and the Mechanics. However, what Mattie wants most is independence, something she may never have while her creator holds the key needed to reanimate her whenever her gears run down. A thought provoking and intriguing novel.
|Cold Magic by Kate Elliott (2010)
|Cold Magic is the first volume in Kate Elliott's Spiritwalker trilogy. While it is primarily a fantasy novel, it is set in a world undergoing industrial revolution and contains plenty of steampunkesque elements. This novel is included on the list as another example of the versatility of steampunk aesthetic and because it's a highly enjoyable read. Science and magic are locked in a vicious struggle and one young woman holds the key to the outcome.
|Soulless by Gail Carriger (2009)
|Soulless is the first novel in the exceedingly popular steampunk/paranormal romance/mystery series The Parasol Protectorate featuring Miss Alexia Tarabotti, an unconventional young woman without a suitor or a soul. A witty foray into the more humorous side of steampunk, this novel features vampires, werewolves, air ships, impeccable fashion sense, and lots of tea drinking.
|Worldshaker by Richard Harland (2009)
|Harland's Worldshaker (reviewed here) is a dystopian steampunk adventure aimed at young adults; however, like many of the other YA offerings on this list, it can be enjoyed by older readers. Taking place entirely within the self-contained world of the industrial juggernaut 'Worldshaker', the story begins when a privileged young man named Col has a chance encounter with a young female 'filthy' called Riff. Despite being taught that the 'filthies', whose labors power the moving city, are subhuman, Col finds that they are essentially no different from the residents of the upper decks. Will he risk everything to follow his conscience? A quirky and engaging steampunk novel with plenty of humor and a satirical edge.
|Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding (2009)
|It seems 2009 was a good year for modern steampunk, with yet another entry on the list. Retribution Falls is the first novel in Wooding's steampunk pirate series Tales of the Ketty Jay. It follows the misadventures of roguish Captain Darian Frey and his dysfunctional crew as they smuggle, steal and generally make a nuisance of themselves. However, when Frey and company are framed for a crime they did not commit, they must embark on a quest to find the true culprit before the law finally catches up to them—something easier said than done. A wildly entertaining tale combining of steampunk, western, sci-fi and fantasy.
|Heart of Veridon by Tim Akers (2009)
|Akers' debut is a steampunk fantasy set in the exotic city of Veridon, home of living metal and a religion founded on mysterious scraps of technology scavenged from the waters of a mighty river. Jacob Burn, a disgraced nobleman, finds himself in possession of a mysterious cog. However, many others seek the artifact for unknown purposes and Jacob finds himself drawn into a dark underground of crime, conspiracies and a secret that penetrates to the heart of the city itself. Imaginative and absorbing.
|Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (1986)
|While not containing nearly as many steampunk elements as the film adaption, the young adult novel Howl's Moving Castle still earns its place on this list. This charming tale by a master storyteller follows the adventures of a young girl called Sophie Hatter. Sophie is transformed into an old woman when she offends the Witch of the Waste and sets out on a journey in the hope of finding a way to change herself back. She soon finds herself in a strange mobile castle owned by the mysterious and self-obsessed wizard Howl and powered by a fire demon named Calcifer. However, the witch is not finished with Sophie or Howl.

Sweet Potato and Lime Soup
I was invited by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to join the host committee for a fabulous event held earlier this month in Washington, D.C. EWG EATS: A Journey Through Food was a roving tasting adventure of local food and drink that is both good for the consumer as well as the planet. As with everything EWG does, the event was perfectly executed. An atmosphere of low lights, rustic furnishings and generous tastings contributed to the engaged conversations taking place throughout the space. Over the course of the evening I learned about a variety of EWG's efforts which spanned the spectrum from skin care and cancer prevention to an exciting "new" development called Food Scores. I put "new" in quotations because while this project launches later today, it has been several years in the making with innumerable research hours logged and great collaboration between EWG project partners Grace Communications Foundation and Eat Well Guide.
EWG's Food Scores houses information on over 80,000 products in a simple, searchable, online format designed to guide consumers to healthy, affordable food. Other food apps rate food products on nutrition, but EWG took it two steps further by also evaluating ingredient concerns (pesticides, mercury, etc.) and degree of processing. These three factors are combined into one score and housed in an easy-to-use online database and corresponding app that provides the information needed to make informed choices in mere seconds. Years of research literally at our fingertips. Now I'm sure that every product I choose will not have the highest rating but EWG's Food Scores will certainly steer me away from foods with the worst ratings and towards healthier options.
Of all the incredible food I enjoyed at the EWG event–Broccoli Leaf Quesadillas being among the offerings (and you read it here first, broccoli leaf will be the next kale!)–the most memorable was a Sweet Potato and Lime Soup prepared by Susan Gage. The deceptively simple recipe belies the layers of flavor revealed in each bite of this lusciously smooth soup. I couldn't wait to get home and make a batch myself. The end result was even better than I remembered because I was able to enjoy a large bowl as opposed to an elegant demitasse cup. It didn't hurt to learn that sweet potatoes make EWG's list of vegetables that pack the most nutrition for the lowest cost and they top the Clean 15 list of vegetables lowest in pesticide exposure.
Whatever your motivation, I encourage you to make this soup today and then again and again, every time you crave a simple soup that combines all of the taste sensations. If you are considering participating in or hosting one of the soup competitions that I have outlined in two past Soup's On posts, keep this recipe in your back pocket. It's a winner–and you also heard that here first!
- 1 Tbls olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 tsp crushed chili pepper
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- zest and juice of one lime
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until softened.
- Add the sweet potatoes, chili pepper and broth.
- Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Let cool for 1 hour and then blend using an immersion blender or blender. Add water by 1/4 cupfuls to get desired consistency (soup should be thick but pourable).
- Add the lime zest and juice.
- Heat and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Metro police say a woman walked into U.S. Bank in East Nashville at 9:15 a.m. Thursday, demanded and received cash, and fled in an SUV that was parked outside.
Although no weapon was visible, the woman threatened to open fire if demands in the note she presented to the teller were not met.
The teller at the 3940 Gallatin Pike branch complied and the woman left in a white SUV — possibly a Chevrolet Trailblazer.
At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a black-and-white striped shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. She is described as approximately 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 110 pounds.
Anyone recognizing the robber from very clear bank surveillance photographs is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME. Reward money is available for information leading to the robber's apprehension.
She looks like she ought to be at Seigenthaler's Freedom Forum or some other brain trust. Probably won't be all that difficult to locate.
Yes folks, it's really that easy to make a withdrawal from your local bank. Now, how many think this cerebral individual would be a good candidate for a dye pack? She should all red by now.
Hey.... I think I remember her from school....
She was in the special ed department of course :P
If it's illegal to with draw money from a bank the way she's doing it, please tell me this:
Why is it NOT illegal to be in our country without papers - proper papers? AND if you file your income tax WITH a false ss number, is that fraud? And is fraud ILLEGAL?

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – The rain went away, but snow and wind showed up in its place Sunday for the second day of the Chicago Cyclocross Cup New Year's Resolution races at Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomington. Sue Butler (River City Bicycles-Ridley) seized the lead on the last lap of the Elite women's race from Saturday's winner Sally Annis (Crossresults.com-JRA Cycles) to solo in for the win.
After getting off to a slow start on Saturday and having to battle back for third, Butler wasted little time Sunday, grabbing the holeshot and setting a high pace in the blustery wind. She was joined in an initial lead group by Annis, Nicole Thiemann (Team CF-Elite), Laura Van Gilder (Ladies First) and Andrea Smith (Ladies First), who finished second Saturday.
Crystal Anthony (Ladies First) joined Annis and Thiemann in a lead group after one lap, with Butler and Van Gilder bringing up the chase. Annis attacked during the second lap and gained about a 10-second lead over Anthony and Butler, followed by Smith, Thiemann and Van Gilder.
Anthony began to fade on lap three and Butler found herself chasing alone as the snowfall increased in the waning laps. Annis held a lead of as much as 16 seconds over Butler, but the Portland rider closed the gap and made contact with Annis just before the pair took the bell for the final lap.
In near-white-out conditions during the final lap, Butler launched an attack that had Annis on the ropes. Saturday's winner bobbled, extending Butler's lead and clearing the path for a solo win. Annis followed Butler for second. Anthony clung to third in front of Smith, Thiemann, Van Gilder and Arley Kemmerer (Charm City Cycling).
"I was riding through things that people were running, and I would ride to things a little bit closer because every time I just rode a little bit more than someone else I would catch people," said Butler. "When I got around someone, I punched it."

Back 2 Da Real is my way of allowing you to release that true passion. My mission is simple "put the music back into the music'. Starting with a set of drums at age 10 and then learning guitar at age 12 Lthomas knew at a very young age that being involved with live music would be his passion. Composing his first song at the age of 15 and joining his first band by the age of 16, the path of travel had been set for Lthomas and performing live music was included on that path. Growing up in N.C. Lthomas had limited access to exposure to live music but still found the avenues to find himself performing live at age 16. From high school talent shows, to the college frat circuit, to 10,000 seat arena's all by the age of 18. Out growing the music scene currently at that time in N.C the travels came west to L.A. After performing on the LA club circuit for about 6 years Lthomas graduated his creativity and abilities to production and recording, working as a second engineer in several major Los Angeles recording studios. Working in recording studios added that last piece to the puzzle, with his musicianship, production skills, and now recording skills all aspects were complete and Lthomas was now ready to do his first solo project, Back 2 Da Real. Back 2 Da Real is just what it sounds like it's music that takes you back to the familiar sounds of the old school, when music was fun and entertaining, but with a new school twist. Intentionally tracked with only (8) songs to take you back to when albums (not CD's) only came with 8-10 songs and no interludes just track after track. Back 2 Da Real is a true representation of pure musicianship and talent, with all songs being original with no samples. From the funky title track "Back 2 Da Real" to the sweet sounds of Reggae with tracks like Next 2 Me and the sexy funky tracks in between like Nast-a and Sexy Smooth, B2DR offers a unique sound that everyone can tune into.. Back 2 Da Real a new age of Funk presented to you by Lthomas ....NJoy.

The following driver features and enhancements have been added to the Solaris 10 10/09 release.
The Solaris 10 5/09 includes many enhancements to the Solaris 10GbE drivers. The nxge 10GbE driver includes the following enhancements:
TCP receive throughput is improved from 40% at 8 connections to over 90% improvements for 32, 100, 400, and 1000 connections
TCP transmit throughput is improved from almost 80% at 8 connections to over 100% for the higher connection tests
UDP transmit throughput is improved from 80% for 64 byte messages to over 160% for 8 Kbyte messages
The ixgbe driver on x86 systems includes the following enhancements:
TCP transmit throughput is improved to almost 100% for 8 or more connections
TCP receive rates are 10Gb line rate for 8, 32, 100, 400, and 1000 connections
UDP transmit maximum throughput doubles to 10Gb line rate
Ping pong data rates are improved from 2x to 3x as the message size increases from 64 bytes to 512 bytes
Solaris 10GbE drivers can now deliver close to line data rates providing optimal performance on 10 Gigabit networks.
The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes the following InfiniBand-related enhancements:
InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter (HCA) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes a significantly enhanced InfiniBand driver for the Mellanox ConnectX HCA. The InfiniBand driver enables InfiniBand protocols to operate over both Double Data Rate (DDR) and Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand fabrics. The driver is also integrated into the Solaris FMA framework for fault management and the driver supports relaxed ordering on SPARC systems.
InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes a significantly improved IBTF implementation that provides enhanced support for running RDMA-based InfiniBand protocols in Solaris. InfiniBand for SPARC now supports both the PCI Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR).
Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes a significantly improved IPoIB driver (ibd) supporting Internet RFCs 4391 and 4392. The IPoIB driver in the Solaris 10 5/09 release supports the User Datagram (UD) mode of operation, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, and takes advantage of hardware offloads in the ConnectX HCA for improved throughput at lower CPU utilization. IPoIB-UD enables the use of any TCP/IP application protocol such as SSH, HTTP, FTP, NFS, and iSCSI over both Double Data Rate (DDR) and Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand fabrics. The new IPoIB driver for both SPARC and x86 platforms offers a significant performance boost over the previously available driver.
Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes a significantly improved SDP driver and sockfs implementation. SDP is a transport protocol layered over the Infiniband Transport Framework (IBTF). SDP is a standard implementation based on Annex 4 of the Infiniband Architecture Specification Vol 1. The SDP protocol provides reliable byte-stream, flow controlled two-way data transmission that is similar to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). InfiniBand programmers use SDP through the libsdp C library that supports a sockets-based SOCK_STREAM interface to application programs. The SDP protocol supports graceful close, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, the connecting/accepting connect model, out-of-band (OOB) data and common socket options. The SDP protocol also supports kernel bypass data transfers and data transfers from send-upper-layer-protocol (ULP) buffers to receive ULP buffers.
Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes an improved RDSv1 driver certified for use with Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) 10gR2.
User-Level Direct Access Programming Library (uDAPL) – The Solaris 10 5/09 release includes an updated uDAPL over InfiniBand API that conforms to the latest Direct Access Transport (DAT) Collaborative uDAPL 1.2 specification.
The mpt_sas(7D) driver supports SAS, SATA, SMP physical devices, and virtual devices by using the Integrated RAID feature. The new architecture for SAS drivers supports the following features:
SAS initiator ports (iports)
Dynamic reconfiguration of SAS, SATA, and SMP targets
FWARC 2008/013-compliant device representation
For more information, see the mpt_sas(7D) man page.
The Solaris 10 10/09 release includes new chipsets support such as bcm5716c and bcm5716s.
The Solaris 10 10/09 release provides an interrupt-remapping table that isolates interrupts on at least the Intel Nehalem platform and ensures that devices can only use authorized interrupts and that the interrupts are properly targeted. This feature improves system reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).
SATA tape devices are now supported by the AHCI driver. Users can connect or hot-plug the SATA tape drive to the AHCI controller though the SATA or eSATA cable. Error handling mechanism is also enhanced for SATA ATAPI devices including CD, DVD, or tape.
For more information, see the ahci(7D) man page.
The mr_sas MegaRAID SAS2.0 controller host bus adapter driver is a SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports the LSI MegaRAID SAS 92xx series of controllers and the StorageTek 6Gb/s SAS RAID HBA series of controllers and the LSI MegaRAID SAS 92xx series of controllers.
Some of the supported RAID features include:
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, and RAID spans 10, 50 and 60
Online capacity expansion (OCE)
Online RAID level migration (RLM)
Auto resume after loss of system power during array rebuild or reconstruction (OCE or RLM)
Configurable stripe size up to 1 Mbyte
Capability to check consistency for background data integrity
Patrol read for media scanning and repairing
64 logical drive support
Up to 64 TB LUN support
Automatic rebuild, and global and dedicated hot—spare support
Starting with the Solaris 10 10/09 release, the ixgbe driver supports the Intel 82599 10Gb PCI Express Ethernet Controller chipset.
Starting with the Solaris 10 10/09 release, the ixgbe driver supports the Intel 82598 10Gb PCI Express Ethernet Controller chipset.

Good news for the peoples who accidentally upgraded their iPhone 3G to OS 3.1 beta. iPhone OS 3.1 Beta updates your current baseband to 5.08.01which is unlockable at the moment because Ultrasn0w is not supported by the latest baseband. Bigboss released Fyzzyband 3.1b1-1. Fuzzyband Downgrader is a safer iPhone 3G Baseband Downgrader as this one detects your baseband and bootloader version and does the wright thing first. More general 3GFuzzyband Downgrader detects your bootloader and baseband and downgrade it with a simple click. Fuzzyband Downgrader available in ICY and Cydia just refresh your sources and search n install the application.
latest version of Fuzzyband Downgrader has two features Upgrades / Downgrades baseband to 4.26.08 for unlocking with the ultrasn0w tool released by the iPhone Dev-Team. If you are on a lower baseband than 4.26.08 Upgrading will put the 4.26.08 baseband from 3.0 on the modem so that ultrasn0w may be installed from Cydia. Downgrading works from any version greater than 4.26.08 (currently 5.08.01 is the newest version available, found in 3.1 beta 1). It will put your baseband back at version 4.26.08 which is the current unlockable version by Ultrasn0w.
Downgrading only works on phones that have the 05.08 (5.8) Bootloader from the factory. This is a very limited number of phones that were released in the first few weeks of the 3G production cycle. If you do not know your bootloader then you can run Fuzzyband and it will report the version number for you. In my case i have bootloader 5.09 but my baseband is 4.26.08 and i m very concerned about baseband updates. So after the OS 3.1 final release I'll wait for the Dev team release.

The Tennessee Titans claimed punter Brett Kern off waivers from the Denver Broncos and waived punter Reggie Hodges.
Kern, a second-year player, ranks fifth in the NFL in gross average last year at 46.7 yards per punt and is averaging 46.1 yards in gross average this year.
Hodges struggled this season averaging just 39.2 yards per punt with only one punt downed inside the 20.
The Broncos dropped Kern when they opted to sign veteran Mitch Berger.

Los Cabos – Cabo San Lucas & San José del Cabo, Mexico
If you're looking for a quick getaway from Los Angeles, Los Cabos just might be the place for you at just about 2.5 hours away from LA. Flights from Los Angeles in October range from $389 to $600 depending on the day of the week you fly. Remember that mid-week flights are usually cheaper than flights that originate on Friday or Sunday. Flights from New York during the same period range from $498 to over $700. These rates were found using www.kayak.com. One of the cool features on kayak.com is the price alert option, which allows you to set up alerts for any destination. The site will email you daily or weekly when the price changes and also allows you to set a max price.
Los Cabos Mexico International Airport (SJD) is located about 7 miles from San Jose and 29 miles from San Lucas. I would suggest taking a shuttle or renting a car for your stay since cabs tend to be fairly expensive. One thing to remember though is that the roads can be dangerous, so drive cautiously. I would suggest fully inspecting your rental car and purchase insurance just to be on the safe side. There are several car rental agencies at or near the airport: Thrifty, Budget, and Hertz, just to name a few. You can reserve online, and a representative from the rental company will meet you at the terminal.
We chose to stay in San José del Cabo, which was closer to the airport, and I felt a little more my speed than Cabo San Lucas. If you do prefer bar crawls and clubbing till the early morning hours, I would suggest Cabo San Lucas. There are several beautiful beachfront hotels to choose from in Cabo. There is something to fit just about any budget. We chose Royal Solaris, an all-inclusive resort with 5 restaurants, 4 bars and about 400 guest rooms. http://www.clubsolaris.com/v4/ The rate for the hotel was about $150 per night for all-inclusive double occupancy. If you like to do a lot of exploring and eating and drinking at different locations then the all-inclusive option may not be best for you. However, it is easy to spend over $100 a day on food and alcohol while on vacation, so that's something you should factor in when making your decision.
There are a few things that I suggest you check out in Los Cabos. First would be the tequila tasting. I'm not a huge tequila fan myself, but it was a lot of fun…especially after the 4th free sample! There are several shops that will offer you free tequila samples; they have the next sample filled by the time you are putting down the one in your hand. Needless to say, I took a bottle home with me. The following site has maps available of the entire Cabo area http://www.loscabosguide.com/maps/maps.htm
Another fun thing to do is snorkel. There are several places that you can rent gear from on the beach and snorkel, or you can take a snorkel tour from most hotels. We rented equipment on the beach for about $10 each. We chose to take the hour and a half drive to "Todos Santos," an artist community North of Cabo and home to the Hotel California. Todos Santos has lots of local art you can purchase much cheaper than you would in Cabo San Lucas. There are also several little authentic Mexican dining options here: http://www.todossantos.cc/
Lastly, The Buccaneer Queen pirate ship in San Lucas is definitely a unique experience. http://buccaneerloscabos.com/ We were lucky enough to meet the owner at a whole in the wall bar in Cabo. They offer 3 tours to chose from: snorkeling, whale watching, or Sunset cruises on a 96-foot pirate ship. Price range from $49.50 – $78 for adults and $28.50 – $44 for kids ages 5-11. Lunch and open bar included. Discounts available at http://www.cabosanlucastours.net/
*SALE this week (1/18/12) on Royal Solaris through Livingsocial.com Four-($769) or Five-Night ($949) All-Inclusive Stay for Two Adults and Two Children Under 12 in a Deluxe Room, April 15 through June 30 or August 15 through December 22, 2012*http://www.livingsocial.com/escapes/225962-all-inclusive-baja-resort?msdc_id=4-los-angeles

text: There has been a room change for tomorrow's TriZPUG meeting. The location is 328 Phillips Hall, the place where we normally meet, and the location of our first two Plone Boot Camps. The meeting notice is here: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/mar-08-mtg The directions are here: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/unc-logistics This meeting will be hosted by Josh Johnson in my absence. Josh, you might want to post your cell number in case anyone is lost trying to find the meeting room. Lee Nelson of Research Engineer and Lab Manager of the Constructued Facilities Lab at NCSU will speak about his use of Python in structural engineering simulations. I'm hoping Chris Church will also talk about PyCon, as I will not be able to be at the meeting this month. PyCon was quite great this year. ChiPy was a good host. The video is being rapidly assembled this year as a couple of people are very gung-ho about getting that done fast. My favorite talks at PyCon this year were on topics getting under the hood of Python. The talk on listobject.c was completely awesome. Also great were talks on weak references, the import statement, Grok, Zope 3, Repoze, and Supervisor. There was a PyCon exhibit hall this year. I collected enough schwag into a goodie bag to tide us over with door prizes for a number of meetings. A good discovery was that we are vastly under-utilizing O'Reilly's User Group program. Essentially, TriZPUG can get you any book you are willing to review. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599

New CancerCare facility announced
The site for the new expansion of CancerCare Manitoba was approved by the government of Manitoba today, January 15.
The new facility will be built where the current Manitoba Clinic property sits at Sherbrook Street and McDermot Avenue. The clinic and parkade will be demolished and the Manitoba Clinic is to be rebuilt at a nearby location.
"Nearly every Manitoban is touched by cancer in some way and the province is committed to investing in a new state-of-the-art facility for CancerCare Manitoba," said Premier Greg Selinger. "The new facility will address growing demands for cancer services in Manitoba and expand the scope of cancer research."
Selinger first announced funding for the new facility in 2011 when he pledged $70 million that April.
Health Minister Sharon Blady noted that the new facility will offer diagnostics, treatment and research to help cancer patients and their families "get the care they need".
The facility will be built to connect with the current CancerCare building on McDermot, beside the Health Sciences Centre. Minister Blady says the connection will help ensure services remain easy to access and co-ordinated for the benefit of patients.
Early design work is underway but construction won't begin until 2017.
The land being used for the new facility was purchased by the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
"The CancerCare Manitoba Foundation is very proud to be a key contributor to the new CancerCare Manitoba facility," said Doug Harvey, chair, CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. "Our investment in this world-class project will enhance the cancer journey for patients and their families as well as support groundbreaking research that helps attract the best and brightest clinicians and researchers to Manitoba."
CancerCare braces for influx of cases
Each year, more than 6,000 Manitobans are diagnosed with cancer, while up to 10 times more undergo investigations for suspected cancer. New cancer cases and the number of existing cases that require followup are estimated to increase by 40 to 50 per cent over the next decade, the minister said.
"CancerCare Manitoba must be prepared for the increase in patient volume while enhancing the patient experience for Manitobans and their families," said Dr. Sri Navaratnam, president and CEO, CancerCare Manitoba. "Our commitment is to provide excellent cancer services to Manitobans. This will require a comprehensive approach from prevention to early detection, treatment and survivorship. Our goal is also to ensure that Manitobans have access to the most current cancer treatments and benefit from leading-edge research and innovation."
Minister Blady noted that the facility builds on other projects recently announced, including:
• implementing a comprehensive, fully integrated provincial system for digital mammography;
• expanding the province's Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Immunization Program starting next year to include both males and females to keep them healthy and reduce the number of new cancer cases; and
• investing in new equipment that allows for more targeted treatment and better outcomes after radiation for patients with ovarian, cervical, uterine and other cancers at CancerCare Manitoba.

I think this is terrific and a good use of health care dollars. I only hope that they put in lots of parking spaces. The parking near the HSC Cancer Care sit is atrocious, especially for ambulances.

My party of 10 had a wonderful time. The narrator was excellent, sharing many very interesting facts and stories about the area. All the boat employees were friendly. The weather was excellent which was an added plus. Loved seeing the beautiful homes in Medina
It was awesome!! great information along the way and staff was very professional!
our guests from El Paso , Texas were very impressed. The Alvarado and Garcia tribe.
perfect weather for this cruise. My 10 yr old daughter stayed in the wheelhouse with the cptn, he taught her a lot about the boat and the views that we seen.
Great tour guide!! The boat was very comfortable, even though it was chilly outside. We learned a lot about the area. Have already recommended this cruise to others!!
Spectacular day cruising Lake Washington aboard this charming cruise ship. The crew was fun, helpful and informative. A wonderful way to see the beautiful shoreline, Mt. Rainier and Seattle. Loved it!
John C USA
This cruise offers a unique view of Seattle's Lake Washington - often not seen even by locals. The Cruise leaves from Kirkland (a bit like Sausalito) on the Eastside of Lake Washington. Our crew was Captain Kathy, Deckhand Matt with Erik tending the bar on the main level. The crew was very cheerful -- all three are from Washington State so they had plenty of tidbits to pass along during the 90 min cruise. The route takes you by some multi-million dollar homes, some even with their own Seaplanes! Even if you are not into viewing homes, the cruise is a great way to get on the Lake and enjoy the Northwest Summer weather. The passengers were a great mix of folks which made it enjoyable. If you are visiting Seattle or staying on the Eastside this is a great activity! Tip - The upper port-side outside chairs offer the best views -- but that being said, the whole boat has great views!

In the wake of Monday's bankruptcy filing by General Motors Corp., U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander has proposed that the nation's 154 million individual taxpayers be handed shares in the auto manufacturer after it emerges from bankruptcy.
GM's Chapter 11 filing will make the federal government the company's largest shareholder with a 60 percent stake. Other owners include a group of the company's bondholders, the United Auto Workers and the governments of Canada and Ontario.
Detroit-based GM — which yesterday also said it would idle its Spring Hill factory this fall — is expected to emerge from bankruptcy by late this summer. When it does, Alexander told his Senate colleagues, the government should exit its ownership position as soon as possible.
"The best way to help the new GM succeed and recover the taxpayers' $50 billion in loans may well be simply to give all the government's stock to the taxpayers and get Washington out of the business of owning and running auto companies — the sooner the better," Lamar said on the Senate floor late Monday.
In his remarks – which are available here – Tennessee's senior senator pointed out that GM President and CEO Fritz Henderson told lawmakers Monday morning that unwinding the government's stake in an orderly way would take longer than the Obama administration has said it wants to take. Giving taxpayers stakes in the company will, he added, create "154 million investor-cheeerleaders."
"Those shares might not be worth much now, but put them away and one day they might contribute something toward a college education," Alexander said. "One disadvantage: Giving the stock to taxpayers might well add a few more billion to the federal debt. But whose debt is it anyway? The 154 million taxpayers'. So why not give individual taxpayers the ride up if there is one?"

Yeah right, Lamar. I had GM shares in my port folio. I paid my honest, hard earned money for them. Now they are worth $0. So you want to give me back some of them along with giving the rest of the world who didn't pay for them, some shares. Socialism at it's best.
Good idea, but only give the shares to those of us who actually pay income taxes.
To follow up on Sid's comment above, the gov't showed preference to the UAW over the bond holders. Legally the UAW and the bond holders are both unsecured creditors, however the UAW gets much more in this workout than the bond holders do. These are the faceless bond holders, many of whom are retirees who thought they had a safe investment in their retirement portfolio.
Yeah, sid. My 401k has dropped significantly. I paid honest, hard earned money for it too. I dono't expect to have it paid back. You can't endorse a free market then cry when it doesn't go your way. Please......
Sounds like a good way to steer us away from the socialism inherent in the way we're doing things now. Not exactly anything to get excited about. Just a good piece of duct tape to cover the huge dent the current admin put in America's image.
Instead of just giving shares to everyone wholesale, I would suggest a different system. Give every American the option to purchase a set number of shares at a considerable discount and give them 6 months to buy-in.
That way there is a personal contribution from everyone involved. And if not all Americans are participating, it lessens the impact on the other car companies like Ford, who really don't deserve to be pushed out of the market unfairly when every American suddenly thinks they're buying cars from the company they own a part of.
The shares that don't get bought up in the first 6 months can go back through the process until they're sold. But each time only being offered to those who bought in on the last round.
Lamar is so, so funny. You can't believe, for a single minute, that the government would give up CONTROL of GM. They only want to control the "high level" decisions, like who will make up the BOD and what cars will be designed/built.
This reminds me of when him and Bush wanted to 'privatize social security'. Man, they just don't get it and I'm finding the books by Al Franken to be the most honest wisdom (and enjoyable humor) extant. Also see, www.tharonchandler.com
As I listen to Lamar and his fellow Republican Senators rail against the Obama administrations plans to stimulate and make right the economy, I'm reminded of the immortal words of Mark Twain, " In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made US Senators." Lamar, it's easy to criticize but I challenge you to tell the people of Tennessee what you and your cronies would do if you were charged with the task of righting the economy. Tell us or shut your piehole. Dog out

LA Good Questions: How to Paint Walls With High Ceilings?
This question came from a disgruntled friend over the iChat: So, I just moved into a place that has high ceilings--about 25 feet! And the walls are an icky dark-ish beige and the ceilings are an off-white...I really can't afford to hire someone to paint the place, but I'm wondering if I could just roll up my sleeves one weekend and do it myself? Are there any tricks you know of when it comes to painting walls with high ceilings?
[ Photo from HomeBuilding: The Fun Times Guide ]
To our friend, we say sincerely: Bribe as many people as possible to come and help you (uh, but not us. We're going to be, uh, busy...doing laundry...and stuff...). Then, start looking at extension poles to add on to your paint rollers. Oh, and some ladders and probably a 36-pack of beer. Aside from those four things, there really isn't much more to getting the job done. However, we have seen some places where people just paint up to a certain point (usually the limit of their extension pole) and let the wall and ceiling blend together, but that might not work considering that your walls and ceiling are completely different colors. And if you're feeling really extreme, you may even consider renting scaffolding for a weekend.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Would it not be more confusing to have incorrect information. You are assuming that the references are always correct, when in the most part their are out of date. The authoritative source is always the referenced document.

Violent extremists, criminals and foreign fighters are part of the daily refugee flow into Europe, the top NATO commander in Europe told lawmakers, "masking the movement" of these dangerous elements and heightening the potential for an attack.
In testimony Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services
Committee, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove said ISIS is "spreading
like a cancer" within this mix, "taking advantage of paths of least
resistance, threatening European nations" and the United States.
Yeah, this is going to end well.
Breedlove later told reporters that he has asked for more U.S. forces to
be permanently based in Europe, which is facing threats from a more
aggressive Russia as well as ISIS.
I guess that 'reset' button didn't work after all.

Activision, Inc. today unveiled a

"The Wii is introducing new

With the Wii on track to be the
leading platform by Christmas, the company's move to expand its offering has
been in the works for more than a year. The first titles under the "Wee 1ST"
brand include Little League World Series 2008, Rapala Fishing Frenzy and Dancing
