Celebs in Denim: Christina Ricci in Black Orchid
Christini Ricci was spotted doing some shopping in Beverly Hills, California wearing Black Orchid Jeans. She donned a brown wig and sunglasses as she strolled around, trying real hard not to get noticed, but eventually getting recognized by a crafty shutterbug. Kind of funny the lengths some celebs will go to so they don't get noticed, then they do anyway!

Celebs in Denim: Kate Walsh in Black Orchid
Kate Walsh took a walk on Melrose Place in West Hollywood wearing Black Orchid mini shorts. More and more celebs seem to be wearing this brand. Do you own anything by Black Orchid? Kate looks good though, I love the outfit. The boots with the shorts, simple vest and bag is a really hot look for her.

Azealia Banks is readying a new single, "Yung Rapunxel", which will be out on March 26. And that up there is the single's terrifying artwork. The track was produced by Lil Internet, according to Rap-Up, and it's expected on her forthcoming album Broke With Expensive Taste.

It looks like the Flaming Lips might be celebrating the Stone Roses' reunion by covering that band's entire 1988 debut LP. The Future Heart points to a series of tweets from Wayne Coyne and his friends, who talk about covering three different songs from that record.

By Jenn Pelly on November 7, 2011 at 2:25 p.m. EST

The Stone Roses announced today that they will reunite in 2012. Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani, and Reni will perform two shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, on June 29 and 30. A 2012 world tour will be announced soon.
Stone Roses' Ian Brown Arrested on Suspicion of Spousal Abuse
By Tom Breihan on November 4, 2009 at 1:35 p.m. EST
File under: Incredibly uncool. BBC News reports that on Monday morning, British police arrested former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown on suspicion of spousal abuse. Brown's wife made the allegations after police responded to a call about a disturbance. Brown is currently out on bail until December.
Once upon a time, the Stone Roses made an incredible album.
Echo Chamber: Ian Brown

New Order/Smiths/Primal Scream Supergroup Freebass Finishes Album
By Tom Breihan on July 29, 2009 at 1:55 p.m. EDT
Two years ago, we told you all about Freebass, the new three-bassist supergroup led by combative former New Order/Joy Division member Peter Hook. The group, which also features former Smiths low-end master Andy Rourke and current Primal Scream/former Stone Roses four-string thumper Mani, hasn't exactly been enormously prolific since its formation, partly because all three bassists still have other things going on. But in the past week or so, the Freebass MySpace page has crackled back to life, with Hook posting a new song and a few updates on the band's debut album, which is now apparently being mixed.
The new song is a "rejected demo" for a long instrumental track called "Sugar Daddy", which sounds a lot like a vocal-free New Order. At least one of the bassists on the track plays something that sounds extraordinarily similar to a Bernard Sumner guitar line, which is pretty weird considering the acrimonious relationship that Hook and Sumner have had over the past few years. In any case, it's good to hear that unmistakable Peter Hook burble back at work; it's been a minute.
The MySpace page is also streaming "The Tower", a Freebass song that's now a few years old, which appeared as the theme song for the Channel 4 radio show "The Tube".
The Stone Roses' Debut Album Gets Deluxe Reissue Treatment
By Amy Phillips on May 7, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Stone Roses' 1989 self-titled album, a record that's often heralded as one of the greatest debut albums of all time, is set for a major resurrection this summer. On August 11, Silvertone/Legacy will deliver a deluxe 20th anniversary reissue of The Stone Roses in three different packages.
First, there's a single CD "Special Edition" containing the original album, remastered by Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown and producer John Leckie. It contains the original album as well as with the full-length version of "Fools Gold". Then there's a 2xCD plus DVD "Legacy Edition" containing the original album plus a bonus disc of demos plus the Live in Blackpool concert film, shot in 1989.
Finally, there's the mammoth "Collectors Edition", containing everything in the "Legacy Edition" as well as three LPs containing the original album and 13 non-album tracks. Oh, and a 2 GB USB drive shaped like a lemon (you know, like the album cover) containing "all the audio, promo videos, ringtones, wallpapers, plus previously unseen John Leckie home video footage of the recording of "Fool's Gold'," according to a press release. Not to mention a book featuring photos and musings from the band and their cohort as well as people like Noel Gallagher and Mark Ronson. AND six art prints painted by guitarist John Squire for the covers of the album's singles.
Whew. That's a lot of Stone Roses.
Tracklists for each disc listed below:
Stone Roses Reunion Rumors Are Utter Bullshit
By Ryan Dombal on March 23, 2009 at 4:10 p.m. EDT
Remember those Stone Roses reunion rumors we were more than a little skeptical about last week? Turns out our leeriness was totally justified, as both guitarist John Squire and singer Ian Brown have denied the news of a summer tour in separate statements.
Squire gets bonus points for dismissing the rumors and promoting his current endeavors all at once: The guitarist-turned-artist seems to have broke out the Microsoft Paint and graffitied one of his own pieces. Check it out:
Banksy would be proud. Squire's artwork takes center stage at an upcoming exhibition near his native Manchester at Gallery Oldham starting July 7. He also designed the candy-colored guns cover for War Child's recent Heroes charity CD and is auctioning the original piece on eBay.
Meanwhile, Brown's publicist told The Daily Mail, "We know nothing about a reunion. Ian is working on his new studio album which is due out later this year." And, according to a rollicking set I just caught at SXSW, former Stones Roses bassist Mani is still having a grand time as Primal Scream's bassist.
So consider this reunion rumor officially debunked. Who's next?

Sherri ~ WOW!!! We just returned from our cruise! What a wonderful time we had!! Your COZUMELINSIDER.com bookings for our Dolphin snorkel adventure and Sea Trek were the highlight of the cruise. They were easy and saved us about half the cost of booking through the cruise line. We simply hopped into a cab and spent the day at the Park (we could have spent a week there.) They were even able to work us into the Sea Trek early. All the people were friendly, helpful and overall just treated us great. While we were standing around waiting a short little man came up and ask if we wanted a snorkel tour. I instantly remembered what you had said and looked at his name tag. It was Mario! His tour was fantastic! If you see him ask him if he remembers Señor Ed and his family (he never caught that my name was Ted, but thats okay!) I had a waterproof digital camera and he snapped lots of pictures of us. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to you, your website and staff!
I know you probably get lots of pictures but I had to send you three. Look at the smiles on my boys faces. That says it all! Thank you so much for all your help and advice. We cant wait to return. Your website is the first place we will stop! I wish we could have met in person. We will next time!
T. Mahler Family ~ Howe ,TX
What a great Experience!!! We booked our excursions through this website with a slight bit of apprehension. We figured it would be safer to book through our cruise ship since this was our first time going to Cozumel. Boy am I so thankful we didn't. Our cruise ship (which we thoroughly enjoyed) had many excursions organized with tons of people in each excursion. By booking through INSIDER we were definitely given smaller groups to be with. We did the Atlantis Submarine excursion and we saved almost 100 dollars right there!!! We also booked a Resort Scuba with Eagle Ray Divers. We had 1-on-1 attention with Antonio (the owner), our own boat to go out on, and got personalized attention with the lesson/dive. I know if we had booked on the cruise ship there probably would've been many other people ...
Also, we originally booked a car rental for that Saturday morning. Jacqueline @ Cozumel Insider, called us at home prior to our cruise to inform us of some minor scheduling changes. She then suggested that the rental car may not be neccessary due to our number of excursions and our limited time. Due to her advice we cancelled our car rental which was the wise thing to do. This shows that this company has a lot of integrity and is not out there just to make a buck on the unsuspecting tourist. Next year we will definitely book through Cozumel Insider, we will recommend this company to all our friends, and we plan on booking with Antonio for more scuba next time!!!!
M Carson ~ Tullahoma, Tennesseee
Hello Sherri ~ I met you back in 2001 (12 years ago!) when my husband and I along with another couple were involved in a wreck and you were behind us and helped us out as to our rights in the matter. A motorcycle ran into the side of us pretty bad if you recall. I believe you said you lived in Addison, Texas like us. I have booked a trip and will be in Cozumel next Tuesday. Any recommendation on vehicle rental you can suggest for me? LATER: My date and I had a blast in Cozumel. He loved the island. It was a very short trip. I am including a photo of us on the cruise. He would like to go back and stay for a few days at your place. Hope you are doing good, please keep in touch.
C Bronstad ~ San Antonio, TX
Thank you SO MUCH for all the valuable information! I know we are going to have a wonderful time. We will be in Cozumel until 12:00 midnight so I am sure we will have plenty of time to visit the places you have mentioned. I hate we will not have the pleasure of meeting you! You have been so helpful with everything! The company you work for if very fortunate to have an employee such as you! You are truly an asset to them! Thank you again for everything and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Debbie Long :-)
D. Long ~ Hampstead, NC
i've been on your site for the last week just checking everything out i'm telling you that you have the best site for learning about cozumel to all the execursions that are offered. also the information about how to get to the hotel from the airport with the cost about the ferry to every question that a person like myself would have that is planning on travelling to your beautiful country we are planning on retiring there. our family and myself will be arriving in Cancun and then going on to Cozumel. we will be staying at the reef and then park royal but i printed out coupons and all the info about the ferry, the ado bus and all the execursions we want to do . i'm lucky because i speak the language and i love to talk to people i would love to also get the pleasure of meeting with you which i'm sure i will since we plan on doing alot of your execursions. thank you for this beautiful site i enjoyed every minute i spend on it i look forward to hearing back from you!

I will always contend that Hollywood ran out of original ideas quite a while ago.

Henry Spivey has to once more contend with how much better in bed his other half is (wow, the drama), while he realizes his near nymphomaniac therapist is a secret agent as well and has to protect his secret from the agency. Trouble brews at home too, as Henry discovers his son may have more in common with Edward than with him. Plus, the P.I. Raymond's wife hired digs deeper and threatens Raymond's identity.

This episode should have been called flashbacks, because that's where we spend more than ninety percent of our time – in the past, as Hiro navigates the visions given to him by the African dude's paste. It's actually not that bad – there's a lot of stuff with the Petrellis, we get more backstory on Sylar, and more of the interplay between Linderman and Arthur is revealed. Most everything takes place between a year and eighteen months ago.

Jessica Alba To Play A Prostitute

Call me strange, unconventional, or absolutely out of my friggin' mind, but I like the idea of combining Jessica Alba's reported role as a prostitute with her character in Fantastic 4. I think the country needs a forcefield wielding super hero street walker with the power of invisibility.

Google has only posted official images of the Android L developer preview for the WiFi Nexus 7 and the Nexus 5, but Nexus 4 users want a piece of the action too. That's why folks on XDA have been burning the midnight oil to get Android L running on last year's Nexus. Beta 2 of the N4 port is now up, and it seems to have resolved the showstopper bugs from the first one.
You saw Android Wear a couple of months ago when Google unveiled the SDK and both LG and Motorola presented the first promotional pictures. Then you watched the Google I/O keynote that officially launched the LG G Watch and Samsung's surprise addition of the Gear Live. And now you've got a shiny, brand new Android Wear watch before you... but all you can think about is ripping into the digital guts of that thing and doing all of the awful things that Google never intended.
We've known since late May that the LG G3 was on its way to Sprint, it's just been a matter of finding out when and for how much. Well, the deets are in. The G3 will be available for pre-order starting July 11th, with the actual purchase date being the 18th. Sprint customers can get the phone for 24 monthly payments of $25, which totals up to an even $600.
Those who hop on the deal using Sprint Easy Pay before July 24th and register by August 7th may be eligible to get $150 back in the form of a rewards card.
I'd just like to thank Google for expanding Android to two new platforms this year (Android TV doesn't count). Now we've got twice as many opportunities to talk about over-the-air software updates. The LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, both running nearly identical builds of Android Wear, are being updated to the slightly newer KMV78V build today. Owners should be seeing the update alert over the next few days if they haven't already.
It looks like Google is serious about getting the "L" preview out to developers in all of its forms, even as code. That's right, some of the source code is already live on AOSP!
It looks like all of the recent Nexus devices are covered - everything from the 2012 Nexus 7 up through to the Nexus 5. Of course, just because branches have been published for these devices, it is not absolute confirmation that this entire list of devices will receive an official L release.
Plenty of people have been eager to get their hands on LG's new flagship, and it looks like T-Mobile may be the first of the big American companies to get it. A PR message this morning said that Magenta will start selling the LG G3 on July 16th, a little over two weeks from now. If you want to make sure you get yours on day one, you can pre-order the phone in black and white at this page.
Should you decide to swing by the main Android website (which there is very little reason to do), you might notice something odd in the section describing the Nexus 5. It comes in "black, white, red, and yellow." Oh, really now?
Update: Google seems to have pulled down the mention of "yellow" and still hasn't responded. So, that's maybe a little suspicious. Or maybe it was just a mistake. Time will tell.
The images are live, and that means developers (and not developers) all over the world are getting their first taste of whatever version Android L is going to be (I assume 5.0). This is the most significant change Android has ever seen, but the version we're getting is slightly different than what Google showed off at I/O, but let's take a quick look at what we do get to play with.
Google took its sweet time updating the Nexus-style Google Play Edition of the G Pad 8.3 to Android 4.4.3, but it looks like they had a good reason. The tablet has been zipped straight to 4.4.4, and the over-the-air update should be going out now. If you're not willing to wait - and it might be a few days, considering the staggered rollout - we've got a link to the update ZIP file below.

I want to express my praise and appreciation for the people in your organization that provided me with exceptional service today. First is a young lady in your Customer Service Dept. She is a very strong asset to your company as she is the first impression of the company for a customer. She did an excellent job in answering my concerns and helping me figure out the best way to handle the problem. Second, but not least, is another young lady in your return goods department. She is a breath of fresh air for a customer to deal with. She is heading up things so I get my replacement coat in time for my trip. In closing I want tell you that it's very refreshing to know that there are still companies out there that have a sense of pride in what they do, how they treat their customers and are willing to provide "real" customer service. You make me proud to be a Hoosier. Please be sure and pass this along to both ladies for me and give them a raise, they deserve it!"

Early Morning, 4th of Second Seed (May), 4E 175
The slam of the iron-bound door behind Ondolemar was all but drowned out by another crack of thunder as the heart of the storm continued to roll over the city. The last handful of hours had been spent in conference with Commander Aelthor in the garrison's headquarters at Rosethorn Hall - pouring over maps, scouting reports, any scrap of intelligence they had at their immediate disposal to try and pinpoint the exit to the sewer tunnels that could lead reinforcements into the city. What no one present could say for certain, was whether or not Lord Naarifin had knowledge of this route, if Auri-El felt the need to humble them all and make an escape from Imperial forces necessary.
The thought of such a setback now… now...after all the blood and sacrifice it took to get this

3rd of Second Seed (May), 4E 175
It was an easy thing, and happened often - losing track of time. Forced wakefulness from racked limbs, or burned and cut flesh would eventually slip into restless and dreamless sleep, and then back again until it was impossible to know for sure whether it was even day or night anymore. Why had they thrown her back down here again after all this time? The Nord woman moaned and shifted against the cold wall, heavy iron shackles biting into her wrists and swollen, bruised ankles. Her black hair stuck to her face, the humidity of the season having seeped into the dungeons and layered everything slick with moisture.
It was oppressively quiet in the Skingrad Prison where she was still being held
Meria Alone"Not now Meria I have important business with the First Ambassador!" snapped a tall Thalmor Justicar with black hair slicked back in a neat style and vivid green eyes.Meria Alone by The-Serene-Mage
"B-But uncle, you promised that we practice magic today!" pleaded a smaller Altmer similar to the Justicar.
The Thalmor agent paused in mid step and gazed down at the smaller Mer with annoyance in his eyes,
"I said, not now, go back to your room before I get reprimanded for allowing a child to be up here!" he snapped before pushing her back, nearly knocking her off her feet.
Meria watched her uncle leave the hallway of the embassy, holding back her tears before wrapping her arms around herself.
"That's what you always say…" she murmured to herself before looking over to a frost window overlooking the Courtyard of the Embassy.
The snow gently fell from the sky onto the patrolling guards as well as a few Justicars, Meria wished she was allowed into the courtyard
Pride Comes Before the Fall"As a Thalmor Commander, it is your duty to set an example for your troops in a time of need," The Grand Justiciar had told his student as the two made their way into a lavish temple, "Despite what you may believe, this principle surpasses all other aspects of your position."Pride Comes Before the Fall by The-Demon-Sebastian
"I don't understand," The new Commander turned his head to look up at the towering mer, "As a Justiciar, it was my duty, it always had been my duty, to track down those who commit heresy. I had never needed an example - you just need to get your information, and make your kill. Why is it that I must set an example now? It seems rather unnecessary, sir."
The taller elf extended a hand, gesturing for the younger man to follow him down the corridor. Their footsteps echoed on the marble floor, and their forms cast shadows upon the sun-kissed stone. Attendants of the temple stepped out of their path as they passed, respectfully bowing their heads. As they approached
Season Unending Part 1"Dammit, Ulfric got here first," General Tullius groused as he dismounted.Season Unending Part 1 by heiwako
There were two horses bearing the Windhelm colors already in the High Hrothgar stables as the Imperial contingent filed in. With Tullius, Legate Rikke, Jarl Elisif, Jarl Balgruuf, their housecarls, and Ambassador Elenwen's mounts included, the small shed was overly full. The Greybeards had no need for horses, but they had the building for their rare visitors. It was highly unusual for them to have this many guests at once.
"Of course he did," Elenwen said as she smoothly dismounted. "He's much closer than we were, he has a smaller contingent, and he had to be here first to prove his worth."
"He's also not going to be happy that the ambassador is here," Rikke murmured to Tullius. Elenwen smiled, not acknowledging the legate's words. "You know how much Ulfric hates the Thalmor."
"What was I supposed to do, Legate?" Tullius replied lowly. "She's higher ranked than me and has every right to be here. I couldn't exact
This is a group dedicated to creative works surrounding the tall, golden-skinned denizens of the Summerset Isles, the Altmer, or 'High Elves' as they are known in other parts of Tamriel.
We welcome all works depicting the Altmer, including those born and raised in other provinces as well as servants of the Dominion and the Thalmor!
-This is a Altmer-only group. Your artwork or written works must feature an Altmer as their main subject or character. Characters of other races may be present, but they must not be the main focus of the piece, nor should the focus be scattered amongst other characters of varying demographic (the only exception for this is couples; there may be an Altmer and a character of another race present in the picture).
-We accept all levels of artistic and/or writing ability. However, please keep in mind that there are base standards that must be met to avoid submission rejection:
No blurry/distorted/badly-lit camera shots of your work. If you do not own a scanner, please take special consideration to make sure that the resulting snapshot is as clear and visible as possible (this includes post-production and editing). Also be sure to resize the image to dimensions that are practical for viewing on a screen. If we have to scroll too far left and right or back and forth, the submission WILL be rejected.
No lined/graph paper! Blank paper only, please, unless you know how to properly edit out the lines later.
No stick-figures or severely underdeveloped anatomy. We need to be able to see that the character...is a character, if that makes sense(?)
No edges, tears, smears, stains or any other form of damage should be visible on the paper (with the exception of specific artistic circumstances that have been specifically accepted by the admins).
For written works, we only accept works in English, and that includes proper grammar structure, punctuation, spelling, etc. Works obviously translated via Google Translate or other frequently improper means of translation will be rejected.
Only submit your best work: finished works that are a good representation of your artistic and/or writing ability. No works-in-progress, messy concept sketches or otherwise scrapped works.
-Only submit work that YOU have created yourself. We will not accept work that has been stolen, edited, traced or otherwise copied from someone else. Offenders will be banned on the first offense, as art-theft should be an obvious no-no. If you feel that something has been submitted and accepted that was stolen from someone else (mistakes happen), please contact the group immediately and we will have it removed.
-No drama-llamas! Any instances of bullying, threats, harrassment or trolling on the group page will be dealt with immediately. Offenders will get one warning, and then they will be banned. If you are having an issue with another group member/deviant, please do not bring it to the group page. Discuss it on your own pages or via notes. Otherwise, bring it up with the dA Help Desk.
-PLEASE SUBMIT TO THE PROPER FOLDER, AND NO SUBMISSIONS TO FEATURED! If your deviation does not fit in any of the otherwise available categories, contact us and we will suggest a placement or create a new folder to accommodate!
-If your written work has more than one part/chapter, please only submit the first chapter!
-Only three submissions per day! This is to control the flow of submissions so that it is manageable for admin review, and so that deviations can be approved or declined in a timely manner.
-The group DOES accept screenshots that a deviant has made, themselves, in-game. However, submissions for screenshots are heavily monitored for quality, artistic appeal, and possible redundancy. We will not accept multiple, similarly-shot screenshots of the same character, for example. Be creative and make the screenshots worthy of viewing in a gallery.
-Mature content is accepted, in both visual and written work. Just make sure to send it to the appropriate folders!
-When submitting work, please be sure to review dA's policies regarding content and what is acceptable on the site.
If you are interested in becoming a Co-Founder or Contributor, please contact the group with reasons why you think you should be an admin!
We are glad to have help with submissions and the running of the group!
If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please leave a comment on the group page or send a note.

Google Adds AdSense Revenue As A Testing Objective In Content Experiments
Google announced today the addition of AdSense Revenue as an experiment objective in Content Experiments. The addition allows AdSense publishers to run A/B tests on Google Analytics Content Experiments Platform that focus specifically on increasing AdSense revenue.
Publishers must link their Google Analytics accounts to AdSense accounts in order to use Content Experiments. Once the accounts are linked and the test is set with AdSense Revenue as the objective, the algorithm will split traffic across the experimental variations "to achieve maximum revenue in the shortest amount of time."
Google also offers an advanced option to set even traffic distribution across all experiment variations, rather than auto-optimize. This option overrides the programmatic optimization of Google's multi-armed bandit approach and gives users more control over selecting winning options based on their own objective. This is a similar option to ad rotation in AdWords.

Co-Operative Bank Plc, the U.K. lender seeking to raise capital after losses, said it will set aside as much as 105 million pounds ($170 million) more to cover costs related to client redress.
The 100 million pounds to 105 million pounds of additional provisions relate to the cost of compensating clients who were sold payment-protection insurance they didn't need and other additional provisions, Manchester, England-based Co-Operative Bank said in a statement today. The lender said it's still working on its recapitalization plan and will disclose further information "shortly."
Co-Operative Bank is being pushed by regulators to bolster capital by the end of 2014 after the failure of its bid for 632 Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY) branches exposed a shortfall of 1.5 billion pounds. The lender has said it plans to raise 500 million pounds by asking existing bondholders to exchange subordinated debt for new equity and senior debt as part of a plan to plug the shortfall.
Bondholders have told Co-Operative Bank they oppose that plan, and Co-Operative Group Ltd., the bank's customer-owned parent, may lose control of the lender, the BBC reported on its website today, without saying where it obtained the information.

Sunday storm was light on snow but wind caused problems
A winter storm brought moderate snow and strong winds to New Hampshire on Sunday. Forecasters had predicted a possible foot of snow in areas of New Hampshire, but the storm moved out of the region after dropping less than half that amount in most locations.
Snow accumulation totals ranged from about 6 inches on the Seacoast to just over an inch in Nashua.
High winds, with gusts in excess of 45 mph, whipped through much of the state as the storm pulled away, knocking down trees and power lines. At 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Public Service of New Hampshire reported 6,855 customer outages, with 2,609 in Hampstead and 1,208 in Durham. Goffstown had 859 outages, while Bedford checked in with 708. Just 12 PSNH customers in Manchester were effected as of 7:30 p.m.
Unitil reported over 2,000 customers without power Sunday afternoon, but that number dropped to 371 as of 7:35 p.m.
A large tree fell onto Mammoth Road between Kendall Pond Road and Valley Street around 3:15 p.m., knocking out power to residents in the neighborhood and forcing the closure of the busy roadway. It was reopened around 6:30 p.m.
- Windy weather whips across New Hampshire - 0
- Leaks fixed, visits resume at Goffstown women's prison - 0
- Storm brings heavy rain, flooding to southern NH - 0

Oracle Solaris 11 Express Was Just Released

10 Comments
After many months of uncertainty about the future of Solaris / OpenSolaris following Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, this past August there was an announcement of
Oracle effectively killing OpenSolaris
while being committed to Solaris as an enterprise operating system and standing behind that, but in a much different form than what we had with Sun Microsystems. Coming out of this was
Illumos coming about as an OpenSolaris fork
(followed a month later by
) and
the OpenSolaris board killing itself
. Now though there's a new chapter to Solaris with the immediate release of Oracle Solaris 11 Express.
Oracle Solaris 11 Express arrived today as a surprise -- there wasn't any beta or release candidates available publicly prior -- and it's in a different state where OpenSolaris was left to rot. New features in Oracle Solaris 11 Express include encryption and de-duplication support for the ZFS file-system, network-based packaging and provisioning systems, NUMA-based I/O optimizations, support for Intel Nehalem CPUs, and many other changes. This is the first proper Solaris release with the IPS-based packaging system born out of Ian Murdock's Project Indiana with the original OpenSolaris OS release, ZFS snapshot slider management, installer improvements, and years worth of other advancements.
Oracle OpenSolaris 11 Express 2010.11 is using the GNOME 2.30 desktop, Mozilla Firefox 3.6, the CUPS printing server replacing LP, etc. The OpenSolaris 11 Express 2010.11 release can be downloaded at
where other information on this operating system release can be found.
Along with Oracle's other software products, the OpenSolaris 11 Express release carries
these licensing terms
. Of course, the part that we hate bars us from doing any benchmarks. "You may not disclose results of any benchmark test results related to the Programs without our prior consent." The
Phoronix Test Suite
works on Solaris/OpenSolaris (along with Linux / Mac OS X / Windows / FreeBSD) and are very excited to benchmark Solaris 11 Express to see what the performance of Solaris 11 is like compared to the competition. Once we are done with Oracle Solaris 11 Express benchmarks, we'll try to get permission from Oracle to release them.

"It's a great city, a lot like Louisville, both river cities, just about twice the size." Pine said.
Pine noted that St. Louis is a big sports town, and he still follows the professional St. Louis sports teams, especially the hockey team, the Blues.
Growing up as a boy, Pine dreamed of becoming an architect, as he was a gifted drawer.
"I loved to draw," said Pine, "and I was fairly artistic, probably because I am left-handed."
In fact, Pine drew so well that he won a contest with a St. Louis television station, KSDK. His picture, of a tornado, won him the chance to appear live with weatherman, John Fuller, on the noon news.
"When I learned that I had to appear live in front of my entire school, I cried the whole night before," said Pine. Pine's fear of public speaking would follow him for some time.
Pine decided to attend college at Ball State University, in Muncie, Ind.
It was not until Pine's junior year that he made a crucial decision: he opted for the double major of broadcast journalism and meteorology. What had started as a vague calling in high school, had finally come to fruition his junior year. The double major required a fifth year of study, and Pine graduated in 2003.
Pine made another major decision in college his sophomore year: he started dating Sarah, his future wife. Today, the Pines have been married for eight years. They have two children, Hannah, 5, and son Brady, 3. Ironically, Ben and Sarah knew each other all of their lives, but did not start dating until Sarah's freshman year at Ball State.

Sauber to Continue search for First 2014 Points in Hungary
More than half way through the 2014 Formula One Season and the Sauber F1 Team have yet to score their first points of the year. Heading into the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring, both Esteban Gutierrez and Adrian Sutil are hopeful that their pointless run can come to an end sooner rather than later, perhaps in Hungary. Gutierrez had a quiet race to fourteenth in Hockenheim last weekend, but heads into Hungary looking forward to getting back out on track. He admits enjoying driving around the Hungaroring, but expects another tricky weekend as he seeks his first points of 2014. 'The Hungaroring has a different characteristic in comparison to other circuits on the calendar," said...

DLT Solutions, a leading value-added reseller in government information technology (IT) software and services, announced that it has added Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leading provider of IT infrastructure and web services, to its GSA IT Schedule 70 (GS-35F-4543G), NIH ECS III, NCPA, and other agency-specific contracts. Through these contracts, federal, state, local and tribal government entities now have fast and cost effective means to procure secure and reliable cloud-ready AWS solutions, thus enabling them to instantly spin-up hundreds or thousands of servers and storage in minutes, reducing delivery time to constituents.
DLT Solutions' contracts now include AWS offerings across multiple AWS Regions including the AWS GovCloud Region. These regions incorporate many of the same security controls, but AWS GovCloud brings added value to government customers who need an additional level of regulatory compliance. The AWS GovCloud Region framework adheres to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements, providing a cloud option to customers who have the specific requirement that their systems and data be only accessed by U.S. persons. DLT Solutions' status as an APN Advanced Consulting Partner for AWS provides its government customers with the confidence and guidance to ensure the best solution to fit their needs and requirements.
"AWS provides government agencies a secure, reliable, and cost-effective computing platform in the cloud. By using AWS services, government organizations can focus on meeting their mission-critical objectives, and spend less time procuring, developing, or managing IT resources," explained Teresa Carlson, vice president of worldwide public sector for Amazon Web Services. "AWS is excited to expand our relationship with DLT who combines industry expertise and knowledge with a customer-focused approach."
"Many of our customers are intrigued by the benefits that cloud computing may bring. Infrastructure- and Platform-as-a-Service offerings bring a wealth of new capabilities, flexibility and opportunity to the public sector," explained David Blankenhorn, chief cloud technologist and leader of the DLT Cloud Advisory Group. "We are excited about our relationship with Amazon Web Services and the power and flexibility cloud computing can bring to our public sector customers. With the addition of AWS to DLT's multiple contract vehicles, we can provide this new technology platform through several well-known and trusted procurement vehicles such as GSA Schedule, NIH Electronic Commodity Store III, and the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance contracts. DLT is committed to ensuring a fast, competitive, and flexible means to acquire cloud computing."
In late 2012, DLT Solutions announced that the General Services Administration (GSA) exercised its option to extend DLT Solutions' GSA IT Schedule 70 (GS-35F-4543G) contract through March 31, 2017.
Dedicated to providing customers with knowledge and advice on cloud computing technology, the DLT Cloud Advisory Group (CAG) helps customers navigate current mandates, available solutions and the best options for your environment. To learn more about the cloud computing options for public sector agencies, visit the Cloud Advisory Group web page or download our free "Cloud Computing for Govies" eBook.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

A young man walked onto the stage at the front of the crowded room. All eyes were fixed on him. He smiled awkwardly and wondered, can I really do this? What will people think?
Heart racing and palms sweating, he gathered up his courage and began to speak softly into the microphone.
"I'm a Christian," he said, "and I have a confession to make.
"I apologize for the Crusades and political action being confused with Christian faith. I apologize for hate crimes being perpetrated in the name of Christ and for slavery. I'm sorry for everything that we've ever done that has made life difficult for anyone.
"But I want you to know something. We're really not all that bad. I hope you'll forgive us."
As he exited the stage, people came up to him, congratulating him on his effort. "I don't know if I would have had the courage to say that," they said. "That was so humble of you."
The young man blushed and thanked them for their kind words. "I just want to be real. Authenticity is important to me."
You've probably seen, heard or read something similar to this before. The Christian confessional.
This idea was most recently popularized by Donald Miller in his too-young-to-write-a-memoir memoir, Blue Like Jazz. Miller describes setting up a confession booth on a college campus where he and others would confess the sins of Christendom and ask for forgiveness.
Since the book's release a number of similar things come out of the woodwork, whether it's a video of a guy confessing the institutional sins of Christendom on youtube or a pastor publishing letters he wrote to people he's sinned against in a book.

Clearing Cache Partition
So far after a dozen attempts, I'm unable to boot into a recovery screen to clear cache. It appears I'm not pressing the volume up, home and power button all at the EXACT same time. Anyone else having trouble with this? Once the phone vibrates, you release the power button and keep the volume up and home buttons pressed until you see the Android Recovery screen. Mine just goes straight to the start up screen.
