Hello everyone, it's so nice to meet you! I'm Bonnie and I love to roost, which to me means nesting in my home and doing the things that I love. I strive to lead a simpler way of life, full of simple beauties, creative projects and inspirations, all of which you can find me sharing about on Going Home to Roost. I'm also so happy to have recently launched the Roost Tribe, a community for creatives where members receive exclusive premium content each week that includes recipes, creative tutorials, printables, tips on blogging, designing and more. When I'm not blogging or sketching, you can find me in the kitchen, traveling with my husband or playing with our sweet pup, Toaster.
We love eating fresh, simple, plant based foods and this salsa is all that and more! Full of fresh garden veggies and healthy ingredients, it tastes light and refreshing and is full of flavor. We used organic ingredients and heirloom tomatoes which really brought out all the flavors. As a huge fan of anything-avocado, we of course added some here which makes the recipe slightly reminiscent of guacamole. Feel free to play with the recipe, substituting what you have on hand and changing up the spices. With salsa, just about anything goes!
Summer Salsa with Roasted Corn
2 cups corn
1 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Large Heirloom Tomatoes
1 Medium Onion
2 Bell Peppers
1 15oz can of Black Beans, Rinsed
2 Cloves of Minced Garlic
1 Tbs Vinegar
1 Tbs Cumin
1 Tbs Chili Powder
1 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Lime Juice
1 Tsp Salt
1 Avocado
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss the corn with olive oil and roast until slightly blackened, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the tomatoes, onion and bell peppers and place them in a bowl. Add the black beans, minced garlic, vinegar and all the spices. Toss to combine. Add sliced avocado just before serving.

WaPo Columnist Channels Fox's O'Reilly On TRUST Act, Mistakes And All
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
Washington Post columnist Charles Lane recycled erroneous Fox News claims about California's new TRUST Act, which details how state officials can constitutionally participate in federal immigration policy.
On October 21, Lane provided misleading talking points to right-wing media on the topic of an appellate judge's recent admission that strict voter ID has proven to be voter suppression. A week later, the exchange was reversed, with Lane repeating debunked misinformation on the TRUST Act previously broadcast by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.
In his most recent column, Lane falsely claimed that the TRUST Act was "in tension" with the Supreme Court's decision in Arizona v. United States, which reaffirmed long-standing Supremacy Clause precedent that forbids state law from conflicting with federal immigration law. Like O'Reilly's confused analysis before him, this is a conflation of the unconstitutional attempts of Arizona to usurp federal immigration powers with the separate - and unchallenged - constitutional justification behind the TRUST Act. From the October 29 edition of the Post:
California's new law limits cooperation with the federal Secure Communities program, under which the fingerprints of arrestees that local police routinely send to the FBI also get routed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
When ICE registers a "hit" against its database, it tells the state or local jail to hold the individual for up to 48 hours so that federal officials can pursue deportation if appropriate. Between March 2008 and September 2011, Secure Communities led to more than 142,000 deportations.
California's new law forbids police to detain anyone under Secure Communities unless the individual has been convicted of or formally charged with certain serious crimes such as murder or bribery -- but not, say, misdemeanor drunk driving.
It's the mirror image of a provision of Arizona's immigration law that essentially required Arizona police officers to check with ICE about everyone they arrested. The Obama administration opposed that as unwanted and unnecessary meddling in federal decision making -- but it was the only aspect of Arizona's crackdown that the Supreme Court upheld.
So: If the Supreme Court says that one state (Arizona) may pester federal immigration authorities with more information about detainees than they asked for, can another state (California) deny the feds information they might seek?
But the surviving provision in Arizona's troubled immigration law (SB 1070) mentioned by Lane involved communication between state and federal officials, whereas the TRUST Act delineates immigration detention powers. These are two entirely separate areas of enforcement underpinned by separate legal justifications.
Contrary to Lane's argument, that is not a "mirror image."
Indeed, the "mirror image" that Lane describes where California "denies the feds information they might seek" is not even an accurate description of the TRUST Act, which instead puts limits on what sort of voluntary detention state officials will engage in under the federal Secure Communities program. As explained by Marshall Fitz, director of immigration policy at the Center for American Progress:
This legislation draws a clear line for state and local cops regarding how far to go in collaborating with federal agents on immigration enforcement. Specifically, it prohibits local law enforcement from honoring detainer requests by DHS unless the individual has been convicted of a serious crime.
[A]s a legal matter, immigration detainers are simply voluntary requests that DHS issues to local law enforcement. California or any other state legitimately can and should decide whether to honor the request based on the state's own set of priorities. As former Secretary Napolitano has implicitly acknowledged, the TRUST Act does not frustrate the goals of the Secure Communities program. Instead, by restoring confidence in immigrant communities that it is safe to report crimes and interact with police, it helps advance that program's stated goal of improving community safety.
Although Lane does correctly mention that California is invoking a line of Supreme Court cases including Printz v. U.S. as the legal justification for the TRUST Act, he still repeats O'Reilly's incorrect inclusion of these cases in the Supremacy Clause doctrine that caused the federal preemption of SB 1070 and falsely compares the California legislation to Montana's attempts to nullify federal gun violence prevention law. In fact, Printz is part of the Supreme Court's separate "commandeering" doctrine, which holds that state officials cannot be forced by the federal government to carry out federal policy like immigration detention.
The TRUST Act affirms this constitutional line.
As indicated by former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Janet Napolitano's support for the TRUST Act, the California legislation seeks to further the cooperative nature of Secure Communities and federal immigration law, not unconstitutionally conflict with it as SB 1070 did. Even with DHS' legal interpretation of the inability of states to "opt-out" of the voluntary database that relays fingerprints from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to DHS, the department admits this is a narrow exception to the commandeering doctrine. Other than that possible exception for the "provision of information," forcing state officials to administer immigration detentions remains unconstitutional under Printz.
Ultimately, federalism can indeed make "strange bedfellows" in that state law is sometimes more progressive than the overall history of the states' rights movement. However, Lane can make this point without floating rhetorical questions that incorrectly explain the TRUST Act and the constitutional differences between it and SB 1070 in the same misleading fashion that right-wing media did previously.
Repeating O'Reilly's debunked talking points isn't going to help bridge the "deep divisions over who can and cannot stay in this country" that Lane laments.

LL880056: M7 Full-Size LED Flashlight
LED Lenser
Powered by four AAA batteries, the M7 casts an extremely bright beam for more than 650-feet. Perfect for professionals who holster their light this LED flashlight features Focus Lock™, our unique bezel-locking system. The Smart Light Technology™ enables you to select one of two modes: Energy Savings which optimizes your battery life or Constant Current which provides electronically controlled continuous bright light output. There are eight light functions in all providing everything you'll need from strobe and S.O.S. to simple on and off.
LE/First Responders
In your line of work, things can change in an instant. You don't just need brighter, you need smarter lights. LED Lenser lights have "smarter" like Rapid Focus that let's you go from up-close to far-away viewing with just one-hand; no messing around the the bezel. Or Smart Light Technology, for different light and energy consumption settings that you set with just the click of the tail switch.
Professional Trades
It doesn't matter if it's inspecting a crawl space, or maintaining the city's underground water system your lighting should be more than just bright. It should give you the quality of light your work demands. A reading light with no rings or holes to tire your eyes and a far-reaching spot-beam with power and distance. LED Lenser lights have both in one easy-to-use package. Preferred by trades professionals all over the world, LED Lenser are the only lights with the patented, Advanced Focus System.
Advanced Focus System
The Advanced Focus System (AFS) is the patented combination of a reflector AND lens to create a light system that provides both a focused beam for long-distance and a homogenous spill-beam for up-close reading.
Traditionally light-focusing systems have consisted of either a lens, or a reflector. Lenses have the advantage of emitting a homogenous light pattern for distances almost 70% of the light is scattered and lost.
Conversely, while reflectors do a better job of capturing a higher percentage of light for long-distances, when they are used for up-close reading scattered light causes "rings" and "holes" in the light pattern leading to eye fatigue.
In both these cases, the lumen count (brightness) loses its validity as light is misdirected and wasted. That's why we decided to try something different.
If you pull together the strengths of the lens and reflector into one combined system, you achieve clear, homogeneous light spill for up-close reading and a sharply-focused beam for long-distance viewing.
This is exactly what we've done with the Advanced Focus System (AFS); a unique and patented lens/reflector optic. AFS means reading the map up-close is easy on the eyes and then focusing to find the path or landmark in the distance, clear and bright.
Smart Light Technology (Advanced)
Diverse settings for individual light programs. In order to achieve this, LED Lenser's team of engineers and light designers have developed our unique Smart Light Technology (SLT). The result is multiple light programs that run up to eight different functions all operable from a single switch.
Sometimes you want constant power to your light. Other times you know you'll be out for awhile and you want to conserve energy. Either way Smart Light Technology settings allow you to choose how much power you want to use to operate your light.
Now add to that individualized programs you set quickly and easily with a simple click on the tail switch. There's one for professionals, an easy everyday mode, and one for defense. Each program has unique functions from simple on/off to, "S.O.S." and even a potentially lifesaving "defense strobe."
Simple, fast and custom for you. Smart Light Technology is one more way LED Lenser puts the "brains" in "bright."
Rapid Focus
With our Rapid Focus system you can go from reading to searching by using the thumb on your holding hand to simply slide the bezel away from you. One hand, one movement, seamless transition from close to far and all points in between.
Fiddling with the light bezel to focus and de-focus is a hassle. If you loosen it too much the light goes off, not enough and you're starting over. Worst of all the speed of acting or reacting is doubled when you have to use two hands.
With our Rapid Focus system you can go from reading to searching by using the thumb on your holding hand to simply slide the bezel away from you. One hand, one movement, seamless transition from close to far and all points in between.
Modular System
The most commonly used parts on any piece of equipment will wear out first. With many lights on the market, their design doesn't allow for individual part replacement. This means more materials make their way into landfills as whole light systems are disposed of instead of individual/smaller sections as needed, such as the heavily-used tail switch.
With the LED Lenser modular system, we can repair or replace sections of your light as needed, making it easier, faster and better for the environment to perform our industry-leading warranty. This system is also designed using fewer points of electrical contact overall. Fewer contact points means fewer chances for electrical failure. Smart flashlights with an even smarter design.

You might be wondering why this is version 0.85 and not 1.x and the reason for this is that we're not gong to say we're at version 1.0 until we have completed all the original features we had in mind when we first started this project. At the moment the most obviously absent 'feature' is 4x3 support and when we get that in and a few other less obvious changes then we will be happy to call it a 1.0 release.
Finally a big thanks goes out from all the team for the positive manner in which the skin has been received. The feedback you have given has been excellent and really helped us in evaluating what work still needs to be done on the skin (at the moment we have a list of about 20 or so things that have to be considered for future releases!).
Thank You

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have revealed the name of their newborn son.
In a new message posted on her personal Web site, Bundchen announced that she and her NFL husband have named their son Benjamin.
"I want to thank you all with all my heart for the immense love I have received here on the website. It is a pleasure to receive messages from each one of you here," the message said. "I am living a very special moment in my life, Benjamin is a blessing and I could not be happier."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the couple welcomed their son earlier this month and Brady — the quarterback for the New England Patriots — told reporters it has been "a wonderful experience in my life."
Bundchen, 29, and Brady, 32, were married twice this spring. They first walked down the aisle in a very private ceremony on Feb. 26 at St. Monica Catholic Church in Los Angeles and then again in early April in the Nicoya Peninsula region of Costa Rica, where the Brazilian beauty owns a home.
This is Bundchen's first child. Brady has a son, John, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
In her message, Bundchen also took time to spread a little holiday cheer.
"I would also like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and 2010 with lots of light! Kisses Gisele," she concluded.

East of the Alleghenies the deposits are anthracite, while the bituminous fields occupy the southwestern section of the state.Ed.
The second kind of coal, the sort that is hard and bright, is anthracite.
It is wrong to suppose, says the Coal Control Department, that anthracite is injurious to health.
On the contrary, England will find it advantageous to come to us for our anthracite.
Deposits of this period include the bulk of the world's anthracite and high-grade bituminous coal.
anthracite coal was known in this country only as a hard black rock.
Alaskan coals range in age from Pennsylvanian to Tertiary, and in kind from anthracite to lignite.
I have heard that it is the only place in the world where anthracite has been found.
Five feet of wood or plant may produce about one foot of bituminous coal, or six-tenths of a foot of anthracite.
The total area of the Pennsylvania anthracite field is about 300,000 acres.
"non-bituminous coal," 1812, earlier (c.1600) a type of ruby-like gem described by Pliny, from Latin anthracites "bloodstone, semi-precious gem," from Greek anthrakites "coal-like," from anthrax (genitive anthrakos) "live coal" (see anthrax). Related: Anthractic (adj.).
A hard, shiny coal that has a high carbon content. It is valued as a fuel because it burns with a clean flame and without smoke or odor, but it is much less abundant than bituminous coal. Compare bituminous coal, lignite.

There were some boos, but desperate fans of Cleveland quickly resumed praying at his feet.
The victim, a woman, was naked; her feet and wrists had been bound.

Old English fot, from Proto-Germanic *fot (cf. Old Saxon fot, Old Norse fotr, Dutch voet, Old High German fuoz, German Fuß, Gothic fotus "foot"), from PIE *ped- (cf. Avestan pad-; Sanskrit pad-, accusative padam "foot;" Greek pos, Attic pous, genitive podos; Latin pes, genitive pedis "foot;" Lithuanian padas "sole," peda "footstep"). Plural form feet is an instance of i-mutation. Of a bed, grave, etc., first recorded c.1300.
The linear measurement of 12 inches was in Old English, from the length of a man's foot. Colloquial exclamation my foot! expressing "contemptuous contradiction" [OED] is first attested 1923, probably a euphemism for my ass, in the same sense, which dates back to 1796. The metrical foot (Old English, translating Latin pes, Greek pous in the same sense) is commonly taken as a reference to keeping time by tapping the foot.
To get off on the right foot is from 1905; to put one's best foot foremost first recorded 1849 (Shakespeare has the better foot before, 1596). To put one's foot in (one's) mouth "say something stupid" is attested by 1942; the expression put (one's) foot in something "make a mess of it" is from 1823.
c.1400, "dance, move on foot," from foot (n.). To foot a bill is attested from 1848, from the process of tallying the expenses and writing the figure at the bottom ("foot") of the bill.

By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic
The box-office a couple of weekends ago for Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to movie stardom, "The Last Stand," was underwhelming. Has the Governator outlived his time at the top?
Now hard on its heels comes the new vehicle for Sylvester Stallone, Big Arnie's fellow commando from the old days. As the title suggests, "Bullet to the Head" is an unapologetic return to the blow-'em-ups of yore, with Stallone trimmer of physique but still stubbornly monosyllabic.
He narrates, too, in a voice that sounds like it comes from the grave. Stallone's a New Orleans hit man named James Bonomo, a by-the-book fella who gets set up by his employer. If the movies are accurate, that happens a lot in this business.
When an out-of-state cop named Kwon (Sung Kang, veteran of the "Fast and Furious" franchise) comes to town to investigate a killing, he proposes teaming up with Bonomo for some extra-legal work, because this thing goes all the way to the top.
Well, sure it does. And we're off and running, through a collection of crooked politicos, rival henchmen and Bonomo's tattoo artist daughter (the authentically sultry Sarah Shahi), who is known to fix a bullet wound in such a way that the patient never needs to refer to having been shot for the remaining running time of the movie.
The villains include a spirited sleazebag turn by moneyman Christian Slater, but the movie lavishes most of its attention on a hired killer, played by Jason Momoa. The bruising actor is a lot more engaging here than he was in the title role of the recent "Conan the Barbarian" reboot.
He's the main adversary for Stallone, and their mutual dislike culminates in a showdown (in an abandoned warehouse; not much has changed for action movies since the 1980s) that involves them throwing down their guns and picking up a couple of axes.
The most dispiriting thing about "Bullet to the Head" is that it was directed by Walter Hill, whose career has included some of the tightest, smartest action pictures of a certain era ("48 HRS." and "The Long Riders" among them).
For this outing, Hill appears to have thrown in the towel; although he tries to get some buddy rapport going between Stallone and Sung Kang, the macho joshing is half-hearted at best.
Then there's the Stallone issue. The man looks very peculiar these days, not because of his age but because of the various levels of sculpting he's done to his body.
And he's forgotten that his movies worked best with the least amount of dialogue. Here, he can never stop with just one action-movie punchline, he has to top himself. More and more, the resemblance to waxworks is uncanny.
"Bullet to the Head" (1½ stars)
A tired outing for Sylvester Stallone, as a New Orleans hit man who must team up with a cop (Sung Kang) to find the bad guys. Director Walter Hill seems to have lost interest, and Stallone's indestructible tough guy is looking more like a waxwork than ever.
Rated: R for violence, language, nudity.
Showing: Alderwood Seven, Cinebarre, Everett Stadium, Galaxy Monroe, Marysville, Stanwood, Oak Tree, Pacific Place, Woodinville, Cascade Mall.

What I see with Cueto is location, location, location. He still has velocity, his changeup is still plus, but he's been having trouble getting the ball down. I'm guessing its a mechanical adjustment more than a fatigue issue, just my opinion. Skipping him a start might do more just for the mental side of things than anything physical at this stage.
Because with all the hand wringing, if he's tired, that isn't going to be resolved in time for the playoffs. One also has to consider that he has been putting up his numbers leaving an inordinate amount of guys on base. This could just be a period of regression to norm.

Report: Police officer reveals Tupac Shakur's final words
A former Las Vegas police officer is shedding some light on Tupac Shakur's last moments.
In an interview with VegasSeven.com, policeman Chris Carroll says he was the first officer on the scene after Tupac's car was riddled with bullets on the night of September 7th, 1996.
Carroll claims he pulled Tupac out of the passenger seat, laid him on the ground and asked who had shot him. While Pac struggled to speak, he eventually reportedly directed an F-bomb in Carroll's direction. After what was possibly his last words, Carroll says the rapper began slipping out of consciousness.
He was then quickly whisked away to the hospital where he died six days later on September 13th.

Maerten van Heemskerck
Triumph of David
Maerten van Heemskerck
Netherlandish, 1498-1574
Triumph of David, 1559
Pen and ink over underdrawing in black chalk on paper, incised for transfer
Image/Sheet: 18.3 x 26 cm (7 3/16 x 10 1/4 inches)
Museum Works of Art Fund 51.095
The Haarlem artist Maarten van Heemskerck created this drawing in preparation for a six-print series on the theme of Patience. Van Heemskerck drew the Old Testament King David trailed by two men, King Saul and the captive Shimei. Both made attempts on David's life. In the background, a diminutive, younger David stands before the giant Goliath. The presence of his human nemeses coupled with the triumphal procession motif signal David's ultimate moral and spiritual victory over adversity. Such subjects were intended as didactic examples, providing models for appropriate behavior. Van Heemskerck's careful pen outlines and hatch marks indicated to the engraver the appropriate contours and patterns of shading and thus reflect the drawing's function as a print design.

GPRS core network
The GPRS core network is the central part of the general packet radio service (GPRS) which allows 2G, 3G and WCDMA mobile networks to transmit IP packets to external networks such as the Internet. The GPRS system is an integrated part of the GSM network switching subsystem.
The network provides mobility management, session management and transport for Internet Protocol packet services in GSM and WCDMA networks. The core network also provides support for other additional functions such as billing and lawful interception. It was also proposed, at one stage, to support packet radio services in the US D-AMPS TDMA system, however, in practice, all of these networks have been converted to GSM so this option has become irrelevant.
PRS module is an open standards driven system. The standardization body is the 3GPP.

GPRS tunnelling protocol (GTP)[edit]
GPRS Tunnelling Protocol is the defining IP-based protocol of the GPRS core network. Primarily it is the protocol which allows end users of a GSM or WCDMA network to move from place to place while continuing to connect to the Internet as if from one location at the Gateway GPRS support node (GGSN). It does this by carrying the subscriber's data from the subscriber's current serving GPRS support node (SGSN) to the GGSN which is handling the subscriber's session. Three forms of GTP are used by the GPRS core network.
- for transfer of user data in separated tunnels for each Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context
- for control reasons including:
- setup and deletion of PDP contexts
- verification of GSN reachability
- updates; e.g., as subscribers move from one SGSN to another.
- for transfer of charging data from GSNs to the charging function.
GGSNs and SGSNs (collectively known as GSNs) listen for GTP-C messages on UDP port 2123 and for GTP-U messages on port 2152. This communication is direct within a single network, or in the case of international roaming, via a GPRS roaming exchange (GRX).
The charging gateway function (CGF) listens to GTP' messages sent from the GSNs on TCP or UDP port 3386. The core network sends charging information to the CGF, typically including PDP context activation times and the quantity of data which the end user has transferred. However, this communication which occurs within one network is less standardized and may, depending on the vendor and configuration options, use proprietary encoding or even an entirely proprietary system.
GTP version zero supports both signalling and user data under one generic header. It can be used with UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) on the registered port 3386. GTP version one is used only on UDP. The control plane protocol GTP-C (Control) using registered port 2123 and the user plane protocol GTP-U (User) using registered port 2152.
GPRS support nodes (GSN)[edit]
A GSN is a network node which supports the use of GPRS in the GSM core network. All GSNs should have a Gn interface and support the GPRS tunneling protocol. There are two key variants of the GSN, namely Gateway and Serving GPRS support node.
Gateway GPRS support node (GGSN)[edit]
The gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is a main component of the GPRS network. The GGSN is responsible for the internetworking between the GPRS network and external packet switched networks, like the Internet and X.25 networks.
From an external network's point of view, the GGSN is a router to a "sub-network", because the GGSN 'hides' the GPRS infrastructure from the external network. When the GGSN receives data addressed to a specific user, it checks if the user is active. If it is, the GGSN forwards the data to the SGSN serving the mobile user, but if the mobile user is inactive, the data is discarded. In the other direction, mobile-originated packets are routed to the right network by the GGSN.
The GGSN is the anchor point that enables the mobility of the user terminal in the GPRS/UMTS networks. In essence, it carries out the role in GPRS equivalent to the home agent in Mobile IP. It maintains routing necessary to tunnel the protocol data units (PDUs) to the SGSN that services a particular MS (mobile station).
The GGSN converts the GPRS packets coming from the SGSN into the appropriate packet data protocol (PDP) format (e.g., IP or X.25) and sends them out on the corresponding packet data network. In the other direction, PDP addresses of incoming data packets are converted to the GSM address of the destination user. The readdressed packets are sent to the responsible SGSN. For this purpose, the GGSN stores the current SGSN address of the user and his or her profile in its location register. The GGSN is responsible for IP address assignment and is the default router for the connected user equipment (UE). The GGSN also performs authentication and charging functions.
Other functions include subscriber screening, IP pool management and address mapping, QoS and PDP context enforcement.
With LTE scenario the GGSN functionality moves to SAE gateway (with SGSN functionality working in MME).
Serving GPRS support node (SGSN)[edit]
The Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) is the node that is serving the MS/UE. The SGSN supports GPRS and/or UMTS.[1] The SGSN keeps track of the location of an individual MS/UE and performs security functions and access control. The SGSN is connected to the GERAN base station system through the Gb or Iu interface and/or to the UTRAN through the Iu interface.[2] A SGSN is responsible for the delivery of data packets from and to the mobile stations within its geographical service area. Its tasks include packet routing and transfer, mobility management (attach/detach and location management), logical link management, and authentication and charging functions. The location register of the SGSN stores location information (e.g., current cell, current VLR) and user profiles (e.g., IMSI, address(es) used in the packet data network) of all GPRS users registered with it.
Common SGSN functions[edit]
- Detunnel GTP packets from the GGSN (downlink)
- Tunnel IP packets toward the GGSN (uplink)
- Carry out mobility management as Standby mode mobile moves from one Routing Area to another Routing Area
- Billing user according to data used.
- Mobile Equipment Identity Check Procedure (Gf/S13' interfaces).
- The SMS GMSCs and SMS IWMSCs support SMS transmission via the SGSN.[3]
- The Offline Charging System (OFCS) collects charging records from SGSNs.[2]
- The SGSN contains mechanisms for avoiding and handling overload situations. [4]
- The SGSN communicate with other SGSN(s) and/or MME(s) (Mobility Management Entity) (Gn/S16/S3 interfaces)
GSM/EDGE specific SGSN functions[edit]
Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) specific SGSN functions and characteristics are:
- Maximum data rate of approx. 60 kbit/s (150 kbit/s for EDGE) per subscriber
- Connect via frame relay or IP to the packet control unit using the Gb protocol stack
- Accept uplink data to form IP packets
- Encrypt down-link data, decrypt up-link data
- Carry out mobility management to the level of a cell for connected mode mobiles
WCDMA specific SGSN functions[edit]
- Carry up to about 42 Mbit/s traffic downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s traffic uplink (HSPA+)
- Tunnel/detunnel downlink/uplink packets toward the radio network controller (RNC)
Access point[edit]
An access point is:
- An IP network to which a mobile set can be connected
- A set of settings which are used for that connection
- A particular option in a set of settings in a mobile phone
When a GPRS mobile phone sets up a PDP context, the access point is selected. At this point an Access Point Name (APN) is determined
- Example: aricenttechnologies.mnc012.mcc345.gprs
- Example: geocell
- Example: internet
- Example: hcl.cisco.ggsn
This access point is then used in a DNS query to a private DNS network. This process (called APN resolution) finally gives the IP address of the GGSN which should serve the access point. At this point a PDP context can be activated.
PDP context[edit]
The packet data protocol (PDP; e.g., IP, X.25, FrameRelay) context is a data structure present on both the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) which contains the subscriber's session information when the subscriber has an active session. When a mobile wants to use GPRS, it must first attach and then activate a PDP context. This allocates a PDP context data structure in the SGSN that the subscriber is currently visiting and the GGSN serving the subscriber's access point. The data recorded includes
- Subscriber's IP address
- Subscriber's IMSI
- Subscriber's Tunnel Endpoint ID (TEID) at the GGSN
- Subscriber's Tunnel Endpoint ID (TEID) at the SGSN
Reference points and interfaces[edit]
Within the GPRS core network standards there are a number of interfaces and reference points (logical points of connection which probably share a common physical connection with other reference points). Some of these names can be seen in the network structure diagram on this page.
Interfaces in the GPRS network[edit]
- Ga
- The interface serves the CDRs (accounting-records) which are written in the GSN and sent to the charging gateway (CG). This interface uses a GTP-based protocol, with modifications that supports CDRs (Called GTP' and GTP prime).
- Gb
- Interface between the base station subsystem and the SGSN the transmission protocol could be Frame Relay or IP.
- Iu
- Interface between the Radio Network Controller and the SGSN. The interface exchanges signaling and payload.
- Gc
- Interface between the GGSN and HLR so that the GGSN can get the location details of a mobile station. To avoid implementing MAP/SS7 in the GGSN, this interface is optional. When not present, the GGSN routes inquires to the HLR via an SGSN.
- Gd
- Interface between the SGSN and the SMS Gateway. Can use MAP1, MAP2 or MAP3.
- Ge
- The interface between the SGSN and the service control point (SCP); uses the CAP protocol.
- Gf
- The interface between the SGSN and the Equipment Identity Register (EIR), used for checking the mobile's equipment identity number (IMEI) against a list of reported stolen mobile phones.
- Gi
- IP based interface between the GGSN and a public data network (PDN) either directly to the Internet or through a WAP gateway.
- Gmb
- The interface between the GGSN and the Broadcast-Multicast Service Center (BM-SC), used for controlling MBMS bearers.
- Gn
- IP based interface between SGSN and other SGSNs and (internal) GGSNs. DNS also shares this interface. Uses the GTP Protocol.
- Gp
- IP based interface between internal SGSN and external GGSNs. Between the SGSN and the external GGSN, there is the border gateway (which is essentially a firewall). Also uses the GTP Protocol.
- Gr
- Interface between the SGSN and the HLR. Messages going through this interface uses the MAP3 protocol.
- Gs
- Interface between the SGSN and the MSC (VLR). Uses the BSSAP+ protocol. This interface allows paging and station availability when it performs data transfer. When the station is attached to the GPRS network, the SGSN keeps track of which routing area (RA) the station is attached to. An RA is a part of a larger location area (LA). When a station is paged this information is used to conserve network resources. When the station performs a PDP context, the SGSN has the exact BTS the station is using.
- Gx
- The on-line policy interface between the GGSN and the charging rules function (CRF). It is used for provisioning service data flow based on charging rules. Uses the diameter protocol.
- Gy
- The on-line charging interface between the GGSN and the online charging system (OCS). Uses the diameter protocol (DCCA application).
- Gz
- The off-line (CDR-based) charging interface between the GGSN and the Charging system Uses GTP'.
- Lg
- The interface between the SGSN and the Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC), used for location-based services.
- S6d
- The interface between SGSN and Home Subscriber Server (HSS). It is a Diameter based interface which is used for transferring subscription and authentication data of the user to HSS for authenticating and authorizing user access.

A few readers have asked about what I have on my iPhone home screen. Here you go, with links to iTunes pages and explanations below:
The Dock
Google Voice: I use Google Voice for all of my phone (minimal) and SMS (moderate) needs. Nobody has my actual Verizon cell number. All of my telephony things are Google Voiced.
Gmail: This is a Safari bookmark to the mobile web view of Gmail, my email service of choice. No, I don't run the actual Gmail app since it's just a shitty wrapper around the mobile web view. How do I manage notifications? I have my Gmail account configured in the iOS Mail app as well, but the only time I actually use that app is when I use an Email shortcut from another iOS app.
Safari: I hear this whole "web" thing is catching on.
Instacast: I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts and listen while on the go. The corner placement makes it easy to tap this icon quickly.
The Rest
Reeder: A great app for reading RSS feeds which synchronizes with Google Reader. I love the integrations and actively use the ability to send content to Instapaper, Pinboard, and Twitter directly from Reeder.
Google Authenticator: I use two-factor authentication with my Google account; this app provides me with a rotating security token code which is required (in addition to my password) to gain access to my Google resources.
1Password: If you're trying to manually remember passwords and/or sharing the same password between multiple websites, you're doing it wrong. 1Password provides a secure storage vault for my passwords along with other bits of information such as frequent flier account numbers, bank information, and other bits that one might carry in their wallet.
Tweetbot: A heavy duty Twitter client with a zillion features. I tweet too much and Tweetbot makes it easy to manage my timeline, @mentions, lists, and searches while on the go.
Elements: I do all of my writing in plain text files synchronized via Dropbox, and Elements is my editor of choice for my iPhone and iPad. The built-in Dropbox integration, TextExpander support, and Markdown preview are lovely.
Calendar: I use the stock iOS calendar app which is synchronized with Google Calendar.
A Folder of Photo Editing Apps: I don't use these super-often, but the most used are Slow Shutter Cam, Photo Rotate, and Snapseed.
Foursquare: I honestly have no idea why I use Foursquare, but I do.
Camera+: A better camera app than the one provided by iOS, offering the ability to easily control several things while shooting the photo as well as a bunch of editing functions.
Photos: I make pictures. I like to access them.
True HDR: Sometimes I make HDR images with my phone, and TrueHDR does a fine job.
Instagram: My third-favorite social network, behind Twitter and Google+. There is excellent photography shared on Instagram. If you care to follow me, my username is aaronhockley.
App Store: Updates are good.
OmniFocus: How I keep track of the various things related to my day job, photography business, hobbies, and family. It's a heavy investment but well worth the synchronized powerful system that works on iPhone, iPad, and OS X.
Maps: 90% of my use of the Maps app is for checking traffic. I'd admit that the other 10% is looking for directions except that I'm a guy.
Settings: I mainly go here to muck with WiFi settings.
Overall Notes
I don't have any badge notifications enabled on my home screen with one exception (below). I don't want to spend any mental energy focused on little red bubbles. It's okay that I have notifications. They don't need to be interruptions. My list of notifications is not my task management system. I'll get to things when needed. The only exception is Google Voice. A phone call or SMS is probably something that requires a relatively fast response.

Like many of you, I grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, and while I speak English, I often think in Spanish.
And I'm happy to tell you that Social Security has made some real strides in communicating with the Spanish-speaking public.
Did you know that Social Security has a Spanish language version of its website?
Take a look at this. You can switch from the English version of our website to our Spanish version by selecting the Espanol link, located at the top of our homepage. It's pretty simple!
Or, you can also get there by typing segurosocial.gov, right into your browser.
I'm here to let you know that not only can you do a lot of business online with Social Security –you can do it in Spanish.
Please note that whether you are sending information in Spanish or English, your privacy is very important to Social Security. We have taken every precaution to make sure your information is protected.
Now, here are a few things I bet you'll find useful.
Want to know how much Social Security you can expect to get when you retire? You can use the Retirement Estimator.
Are you ready to retire? You can apply for your benefits online.
Still working but are ready to apply for Medicare? You can do that online too.
Maybe you need to apply for extra help with the cost of your prescriptions? You can do that too!
All in Spanish!
You can find links to all the applications we'll be talking about at segurosocial.gov
We're going to take a closer look at the retirement estimator, and the Retirement and Medicare applications that you can find in Spanish on segurosocial.gov.
By now, some of you have already used or at least heard about the Spanish retirement estimator.
The retirement estimator is a great way to get a good idea about how much money you could get from Social Security when you retire.
That estimate is based on your actual work record. You can use the retirement estimator if you have enough Social Security credits at this time to qualify for benefits.
The Retirement Estimator will produce an immediate, personalized retirement estimate and also let you look at different scenarios.
Not everyone can use the retirement estimator. Generally, you CANNOT use it if you are
To begin, you will be asked to enter identifying information such as your name, social security number, birth date and your earnings last year.
If you worked last year, we assume that you will continue to work and make about the same amount that you entered for last year's earnings. This will give you a good idea of what to expect in retirement.
You will also be able to change the age you expect to stop work or adjust your anticipated future earnings to see how those changes affect your benefit.
One nice thing about the retirement estimator is you put in the information and it gives you an answer right away!
Let's hear from a couple of Social Security employees about the Spanish Retirement Estimator
Janie, I think that people who use the Retirement Estimator will find that it's easy to use.
Yes, you're right. If someone wishes to get a quick estimate for his retirement, all he has to do is to enter his Social Security number and certain basic information.
Right. Once the person enters the information, he'll be able to immediately see an estimate of the Social Security retirement benefits.
Look, he can see how much he'll get at 62 years of age, at full retirement age, and even at age 70.
This is great, especially being able to plan for retirement trying different ages and different amounts of income to be able to decide when he should apply for the payments from Social Security.
Exactly, you see the person can use the Retirement Estimator to see how much he can receive at age 63, 64, 65, and so on.
So, when you are ready to apply for retirement benefits, you don't need to visit a Social Security office--you can do it quickly and easily on your home or office computer.
Or, if you are age 65, but not yet ready to retire, you can apply for Medicare only – and again, you can do that online!
If you aren't sure about getting started on the computer, ask your children or grandchildren to help you.
My grandmother we always helped her to fill out the forms in English, and also find information in English. Explain what questions she needs to answer about whether she wrote the right thing on the forms.
But now, having the new website in our language, in Spanish, not only can I help my grandmother, I can help a lot of people that I know in the Latino community. Visit us at segurosocial.gov to see what I'm talking about.
We've heard why people like being able to do business with Social Security online and in their own language.
But when it comes to something as important as applying for retirement or Medicare, I bet you're wondering how it works.
When you get on the application, you'll go through a series of screens that will ask you questions about yourself, your family, and your work. We also provide informational videos if you have questions while completing the application.
And you don't have to complete it all in one sitting.
If you need to take a break, you can stop and return to the application later without losing the information you already entered.
Once you've answered all of the questions, select "Sign Now".
Your application will be sent electronically to Social Security.
If it turns out we need more information from you, we'll contact you by phone.
When I was part of the team that designed the Internet application for Social Security benefits, I never imagined that I'd have the opportunity to translate it to Spanish. I was very enthusiastic about this project.
One of the things that attracted me was knowing that I'd be helping to make the Social Security Internet services more accessible for Spanish-speaking people, the easiest way to apply through the Internet and now can be done in Spanish.
Social Security wants to reach people who need extra help with their Medicare prescription drug plan costs.
To qualify for the Extra Help, a person must be receiving Medicare, have limited resources and income, and reside in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia.
If you know someone having difficulty paying for their Medicare prescription drugs, - a relative, friend or neighbor – tell them they can go online and apply for Extra Help.
Just tell them to go to our website: segurosocial.gov!
There they can find everything in Spanish, and find out if they are eligible for help with their prescription drugs.
And if they don't know how to get started, a loved one may be able to help.
We've been talking about all these online applications, but while going online is easy and convenient, you have other options.
You can call 1-800-772-1213, and we will assist you in Spanish.
Or, you can come into a Social Security office.
Ok Luis, what do you think about doing a recap of what we discussed?
Good idea! We showed you how everyone can get their information from SeguroSocial in Spanish.
We shared with you how you can get your retirement estimate from the Spanish Retirement Estimator.
We gave you a brief overview of the Spanish retirement and Medicare application and the Spanish Extra Help with the Medicare Prescription drug plan application.
Before we wrap things up, let's hear from one of our celebrity spokespeople, Don Francisco.
Ok, Luis, I love Don Francisco!
(Don Francisco commercial):
Well, thanks for watching! We are so glad you could be here!
Please share this information with your friends and family.
And let them know we have Spanish Facebook and Twitter, too!
So please stay in touch!
I'm Zomarie Santiago,
And I'm Luis Alicea, reporting on behalf of the Social Security Administration.
Zomarie and Luis:
Until the next time!

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados crossed the plate 13 times on 19 hits, led by Kramer Clark and Jackie Corn with three RBIs a piece, but Lincoln Memorial scored 27 runs on 24 hits, getting the weekend sweep of the Tornados, Sunday afternoon.
The Tornados fall to 1-10 on the year and 1-8 in the conference, while the Railsplitters improve to 12-8 overall and 6-3 in the conference.
Matthew Pruitt suffered the loss for the Tornados, giving up 11 runs, ten of which were earned, on ten hits while walking four and striking out one. Despite giving up seven runs on nine hits in four innings, starting pitcher, Austin Johnson earned the win for the Railsplitters.
Clark, who hit six for six through the first two games of the series, hit three for five, and in addition to his three RBI's, had one run. Corn hit a two run shot in the bottom of the third for his first homerun of the year.
The Railsplitters struck first when they scored four runs in the top of the second. Shane Kaufman knocked in their first run on a double to left field, and then Chase Quarles homered to drive in three more runs.
Eight of Lincoln Memorial's hits were doubles, and three of their hits were homeruns.
The Tornados made the score 4-2 in their half of the next inning. With two outs, Ron Patterson singled, followed by Josh Case single and a Matthew Ennis walk to load the bases. Johnson walked the next batter, Eric Renegar for the Tornados first run, and then Clark singled to right with the bases loaded scoring another. Corn's homerun in the third accounted for two more Brevard runs making the score 6-4.
The Railsplitters had big back to back innings adding five runs and then seven runs in the fourth and fifth innings to make the score 18-4 when Brevard came to bat.
Moman led off the inning with a double to centerfield. Corn then walked, putting two runners on base for pinch hitter, Vance Crook who singled to bring Moman home. Cody Church then came on to pitch for the Railsplitters, retiring the first batter of the inning on a ground ball, but giving up a two-run single to Case, followed by singles from Matthew Ennis and Renegar, and another two-run single by Clark. Quarrels then came on to pitch, immediately giving up a two run single to Stephen Mullis, and after retiring Moman, gave up an RBI double to Corn to make the score 18-12.
Lincoln Memorial continued to add on runs with a three run sixth, and a six run ninth.
Couch, Nick Langley, and Quarrels each had four RBI for the Railsplitters, as all but two of the team's batters knocked in at least one run. The two players who did not register an RBI, Juan Alvarez and Cody Pack, combined for five runs scored.
The Tornados return to action at Gil Coan Field on Tueday when Indian University of Pennsylvania travels to Brevard for a 2:00 p.m. game.

Lil Mama's portrayal of Left Eye brought sister to tears
Listen to Lil Mama on iHeartRadio | Listen to TLC on iHeartRadio
Lil Mama says her portrayal of the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes brought Left Eye's sister to tears.
In an interview with Vlad TV, the rapper and actress recalled that after filming a scene for the VH1 biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, Lisa's sister Raindrop broke down in tears.
As Lil Mama tried to console her, Raindrop assured her that nothing was wrong. Instead, she explained to Lil Mama that "everything is right." Lil Mama says Raindrop's approval "melted her heart."
She has the two surviving members of TLC to thank for her evocative portrayal. She explains that Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas taught her about the way Left Eye moved and even helped her change her posture to be more like their late group member.
CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story debuted this week to excellent ratings. The show raked in an average of 4.5 million viewers and became VH1's highest-rated film ever.

Serving on a jury is more than a civic responsibility. It is how each and every one of us provides access to justice for all.
"Serving on a jury is more than a civic responsibility—it is how each and every one of us provides access to justice for all," said Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye.
This year, California celebrates the 20th anniversary of Juror Appreciation Week. In 1998, the California Legislature designated the second full week in May each year to honor the important contributions of citizens who devote their time and effort in "making the cherished right of trial by jury a reality and to raise awareness about their contribution to our courts."
There have been numerous positive changes to jury service in California over the years. Most recently, a budget trailer bill (SB 843) went into effect on January 1, 2017. This bill reduces the number of peremptory challenges in misdemeanor jury trials from 10 to 6. The Judicial Council will report on impacts of the reduction in peremptory challenges by January 1, 2020. Other notable improvements are the one-day or one-trial system that makes jury service more manageable, plain-language jury instructions that make jury service more understandable and most recently, expedited jury trials an alternative, streamlined method for handling civil actions intended to be quicker and less expensive than a traditional jury trial. With an expedited jury trial, the jury is smaller, choosing the jury is faster, and parties will use fewer peremptory challenges
Each year, the Judicial Council of California and the superior courts team up to recognize the millions of Californians who answer the call to serve their communities and put into practice the fundamental American ideal of justice.
Why celebrate Juror Appreciation Week?
Why participate in jury service?
You have the opportunity:
Did you know?
Statewide, Californians participated in jury service in the following ways:
Other Resources
When I speak with jurors, they sometimes ask whether I have ever been called for jury service. The answer is yes, many times. I've been summoned for service and served as a juror while working as an attorney, as a trial court judge, as an appellate justice, and as Chief Justice of California. Even Chief Justices are called to serve, and we do.
Serving on a jury is more than a civic responsibility—it is an opportunity for us to participate directly in our system of justice and contribute to our communities. Jury service enables each and every one of us to provide access to justice for all. Trial by jury is one of the fundamental ideals of American democracy; serving as jurors reminds us that these ideals exist only as long as individual citizens are willing to uphold them.
Still, no matter how worthwhile, jury service makes demands on our time, and our courts continue to make improvements to jury service to make it as convenient and manageable as possible.
Whether this is your first time being summoned or you are an experienced juror, you may have questions about jury service; this web site answers some of the most commonly asked questions. Please check your summons for detailed instructions on service in your local court or visit your local court's website.
If you are selected to serve, my hope is that you will find your service to be interesting and rewarding, as most jurors do.
Thank you for your service.
Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye
Chief Justice of California
