On Immigrant Day, California Offers Signs of Hope
Today is the last day to register to vote in the June 5th election in California. Even though voter registration deadlines come and go each year, for immigrant communities in California this one is critical because there's probably more at stake this election year for immigrants and their families than ever.
Today hundreds of immigrants from across California will also be converging upon Sacramento to urge policy-makers to pass legislation that supports immigrant workers and their families. Immigrants in California have a reason to be hopeful. In 2011, the state passed landmark legislation benefiting immigrant communities, ranging from providing undocumented students financial assistance to changes in car impoundment policies. This show of civic engagement at the state level is important to our state as our national election nears.
As California's legislature considers far reaching policies in support of immigrants in 2012, the environment nationally is another story altogether. From Arizona's anti-immigrant law encouraging racial profiling and harassment of undocumented immigrants to copycat measures in several other states, policy-makers are scapegoating immigrants on the back of a tidal wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric and bias. Sadly, President Obama's administration has not delivered on promised reforms. Deportations have reached more than 1 million since Obama took office.
So what is different about California? What lessons does it hold for the rest of the country? Perhaps most importantly, California's demographics began changing decades ago while demographic shifts are just beginning to occur in much of the country. As a result, many elected officials represent immigrant heavy areas and come from immigrant families themselves. Additionally, California has a large population of immigrants who have been here for decades, and are voting, are civically engaged, and active members of their communities. All of these factors and more contribute to a state that understands immigrants and their contributions and has helped to create fertile ground for bold policy-making.
This year with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over immigrant communities from coast to coast, we need California to be the light that breaks through the clouds.
California saw a tremendous rise in activism in 2008. We've seen this activism give rise to even more interest in the pursuit of pro-immigrant legislation. Two important examples are the TRUST Act, which would curb the harmful effect of the S-Comm program, including the unjust deportation of tens of thousands of Californians and consequent separation of families. (Under S-Comm, or Secure Communities, local police are required to share the fingerprints of all arrestees with federal immigration authorities.) The other is the defense of nannies, cleaners and caregivers through AB 889, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, which has led to calls throughout California for lawmakers to protect health and human services programs for children, the elderly and persons with disabilities.
The TRUST Act sets a clear, minimum standard for local governments not to submit to the Immigration Service's requests to detain people for deportation unless the individual has a serious or violent felony conviction. The bill also guards against profiling and wrongful detention of citizens and crime victims and witnesses. S-Comm is spreading all over the country, entangling local police with ICE - just like Arizona. The TRUST act is a powerful counterweight to this climate of hate.
The Domestic Worker's Bill of Rights is landmark legislation that would give domestic workers such as caregivers of children and the elderly labor protections for the first time in California. It would require that domestic workers be guaranteed overtime pay, rest breaks and the ability to use kitchen facilities to cook their own food.
In addition to these proposals, there are a number of other important bills winding their way through the legislature that would advance pro-immigrant policies. The bills present solutions to issues ranging from public safety and family unity to workers rights, religious freedom, and consumer protections. During this legislative session, at least five anti-immigrant bills were defeated before reaching the Assembly or Senate floors.
Our challenge as immigrant advocates here in California is to keep moving forward with our eyes on the future, with a will to transform that civic engagement into an even stronger partnership with other Californians who understand that immigrants are key to California's prosperity-- as workers, entrepreneurs, teachers, health care providers, civic leaders, and as youth leaders.
Today, May 21st, we'll fan out through the state capitol to speak with legislators and get the hard work done to support policies that will help integrate immigrants into our state and communities. We'll be there in favor of fiscal and tax reform to help solve our budget crisis. We're there to say that Californians can, and will help lead our country as we negotiate meaningful immigration reform and find ways to recognize immigrant contributions and empower them to continue to help build that future prosperity we all seek. So ultimately, we can put these days of heartbreak for many immigrants and their loved ones behind us.
Reshma Shamasunder is the Executive Director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, a statewide organization that advocates on behalf of immigrants and their families in the California legislature and state government. CIPC, along with dozens of organizations across the state, is coordinating an annual "Immigrant Day" in Sacramento today.

(CBS News) Melissa Etheridge said she doesn't agree with Angelina Jolie's choice to have a preventative double mastectomy after learning she had the BRCA gene mutation that could lead to developing breast cancer.
In a recent interview with the Washington Blade, Etheridge, a breast cancer survivor, called the move "the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer."
After Jolie, 38, opened up about her decision to undergo the procedure in a New York Times op-ed, her husband, Brad Pitt, 49, said the choice was "absolutely heroic." But Etheridge, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, said, "I have to say I feel a little differently. I have that gene mutation too and it's not something I would believe in for myself."
She added, "I wouldn't call it the brave choice. I actually think it's the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer…My belief is that cancer comes from inside you and so much of it has to do with the environment of your body. It's the stress that will turn that gene on or not. Plenty of people have the gene mutation and everything but it never comes to cancer so I would say to anybody faced with that, that choice is way down the line on the spectrum of what you can do and to really consider the advancements we've made in things like nutrition and stress levels."
Etheridge, 52, underwent cancer treatment in 2004, making a memorable appearance at the 2005 Grammy Awards, when she took the stage — bald from chemotherapy — to perform "Piece of My Heart," as a tribute to Janis Joplin.
"I've been cancer free for nine years now and looking back, I completely understand why I got cancer," Etheridge told the Washington Blade. "There was so much acidity in everything. I really encourage people to go a lot longer and further before coming to that conclusion."
Jolie admitted in the New York Times piece that it was a difficult decision, noting, "On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."
Etheridge's interview in the Washington Blade coincides with her summer tour behind 2012's "4th Street Feeling."

After starting up TS, with the normal Gauge cluster-tab showing, there's no "Gauge Cluster"-menu-item listed in the File-menu.
Only when switching views to a different tab, and then back again to the Gauge cluster-tab, the menu-item "Gauge Cluster" is then listed in the menu.
I know the File-menu is updated, depending on which tab is viewed at the moment.
The first time TS is opened, it should really show the Gauge Cluster menu-item in the File-menu, because that's the tab everyone starts out on.

CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2006 when a friend of mine in the military asked me to do a workout with him he found on this crazy fitness website. The workout was "Murph." I was a triathlete at the time so figured this would be easy in comparison.
I was wrong.
After a week of feeling every muscle in my body screaming at me, I realized I needed to try this again. I found one of only two boxes in Virginia Beach, CrossFit Virginia Beach (with Thomi Gill and Pat Sherwood), and signed up for fundamentals. The rest as they say, is history.
I got my L1 in 2008, back when Glassman attended every L1 cert and . Dave Castro was there and was challenged to do 200 dubs unbroken. Say what you want about Dave, but he did it, unbroken, and then cracked open a beer.
That being said, my favorite thing about CrossFit is the community. The camaraderie we share in suffering may be slightly masochistic, but it's this bond that has introduced me to lifelong friends.
Q and A time….
Where are you from? Originally from Virginia Beach but I spent the last four years in Philadelphia.
Favorite workout? Grace or Isabel. The simplicity is addicting.
Least favorite workout? Kelly. It is the only workout to make me lose my lunch. And I'm not proud of that.
Favorite CrossFit memory? the final workout at the Northeast Regionals in 2013. My team and I were just a few points out of qualifying for the games but we finished that workout with a top 5 finish and you would have thought we won the Games.
Thoughts on competition? I competed as an individual at Regionals in 2011 and 2012 and then with a team in 2013. 2014 was going to be my last year competing when I was involved in a terrible car accident during the second week of the Open. While the accident ended my competition career, I still love coaching and helping members prepare for competitions, whether their goals are Regionals or a local competition.
Do you have a life outside the box? I recently finished my PhD in Rehabilitation Biomechanics and am currently a post-doctoral fellow at Walter Reed working with lower limb amputees. If I'm not at work or at the box, you can find me hanging out with my dog Cooper and exploring DC.

Applesauce Pouches – Your kids and YOU will love them!
I pack my son's lunch every day before school and am constantly looking for new fun things that are good for him to put in his lunch so he doesn't have to eat the same old fruit, same old chips, same old sandwich, same old dessert, etc. One day while on a grocery shopping excursion, I stumbled across applesauce pouches. Thinking my son, who is 15, would look at them in his lunchbox and think, "My mom has finally flipped her lid. She still thinks I am 3 years old and need an applesauce pouch!" and would shove it to the back of his lunchbox hiding it from his friends so as not to be embarrassed. BUT….when he got home that night HE actually asked ME where I got it from – and that it was the coolest and most delicious thing ever and everyone at his lunch table (a bunch of tough and rough high school boys) wanted to try it and wanted to know where he got it from! He asked me to always put them in his lunch instead of an apple or some other fruit. Astonished, I told him I found them at the grocery store and said that I would. The great thing is that in addition to the plain applesauce, there are many different fruit combinations offered by many different brands, i.e. Dole, Motts, Materne. I have found strawberry, mixed berry, applesauce cinnamon, peach and others. These little pouches are not only for the kids, though, I have always had to force myself to eat my daily serving of fruit, usually eating a banana or an apple, strawberries when in season or a handful of berries, but I have found that I even like these applesauce pouches. They are delicious AND nutritious….most being all natural and with no added sugar or high fructose corn syrup - just naturally good.
These little pouches are great to keep in your pantry for, not only lunch boxes, but day trips, hiking trips, sports games, long car rides, mid-morning and afternoon snacks, just about any time and anywhere. They are so easy to pack, easy to use and not messy – AT ALL! You cannot spill them because they do not have peel off lids and no need for a spoon, just squeeze the applesauce out right into your mouth and replace the little cap. On a hot day, put them in the freezer for an hour or two and you will have an icy-appley treat!
Following is a list of three different brands that I have tried and some of the pertinent information you Moms out there might want to know before you go out and purchase applesauce pouches. My list is limited to the three I have recently purchased but there are many other brands and fruit combinations available.
1. Dole Squish'Ems! - $2.48 – you will get four 3.2 oz. pouches that are 100 percent
Fruit – all natural – no sugar or corn syrup added – The mixed berry is 70 calories
Per serving – Product of Canada
2. Motts Snack and Go - $2.50 – you will get four 3.2 oz. pouches that are 100 percent
Fruit – all natural – no sugar or corn syrup added – The strawberry is only 40 calories
Per serving – Product of Canada
3. Materne Go Go Squeeze - $2.28 – you will get four 3.2 oz. pouches that are 100
Percent fruit – all natural – no sugar or corn syrup added – the peach is only 60
Calories per pouch – other flavors: apple-strawberry, apple-banana, apple-
Cinnamon, apple – Kosher certified – Product of France
I have also found that fast food restaurants are now serving these neat little pouches in kid's meals or made available to purchase separately in place of fries – Chick-Fil-A for one! I hope you check these out and introduce them to your children and that they love them as much as we do.
Sounds good! Guess I'll go get my apple sauce out and have a bite. Thanks, I didn't know such a thing existed. I shouldn't be surprised though with the million and one doo dads out there these days! God bless and thank you for sharing.
These sound really handy - I don't have kids, but taking one or two fruit pouches to work for a midmorning snack would be really easy and healthy. Great Hub :)
My little girl, who is 2 1/2 loves these and I can get her to eat them because they are potentially messy, which she loves :) Great and informative post
These look like a good idea for school lunches. It's always hard to find something tempting and nutritious that kids will eat, and the applesauce pouches look like something fun and tempting.

Kitten and Chicks
For my card I used the colour inspiration from Cupcake Inspirations (see below) and dry embossing and washi tape inspiration from The Friday Mashup, specifically Challenge 126 - Option 1 - Washi Tape and Challenge 84 - Option 1 - Dry Embossing.
You know how I love kitties, so I was excited to see this month's progressive challenge image from Gerda Steiner Designs called Kitten and Chicks. It is so cute - thank you, Gerda! I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils and used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to make the sky using a cloud die-cut as a template. The fun sentiment is from My Creative Time's Color Me Happy clear stamps. I layered the image onto yellow and then white cardstock and tied some green string around one side. I mounted it on a card that was dry embossed with Couture Creations One World. I added three green pearls, some washi tape, and a cute felt bunny.
I'm also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday's B is for (bunny, blue, birds) challenge, and Allsorts for their Spring is in the Air challenge.
Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!

What are your favorite desserts without (or with very very little) butter?
So, for example, a fruit tart would not count, but a pavlova would.
Similarly, a sponge cake or a meringue would be ok, but not a classic genoise.
I think mine would be, in no particular order, Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Mochi balls w/ Azuki beans, and Ice Cream.

"The Life and Ministry of John"
Explore the life of the apostle John with inspirational speaker and author Beth Moore in her newest women's enrichment resource, Beloved Disciple. Through her personal study of this extraordinary biblical figure, Moore conveys that John had the God-given gift of seeing a larger picture, and that his love relationship with Christ profoundly influenced everything he did and wrote. As John was uniquely chosen to be the one who received the ¿Revelation¿ of Jesus Christ, Christ still desires to reveal Himself to His disciples today.
In Beloved Disciple, women will get to know the one the New Testament calls the beloved disciple. They will explore the depths of John's relationship with Jesus Christ, viewing their own relationship with Christ as unique from all others. They will see themselves as modern ¿beloved disciples¿ and will discover how to allow God to establish a love relationship with Christ as the motivation for all they seek and do.
This in-depth, interactive study will help participants develop eyes to see and ears to hear what Christ desires to reveal to each one of His children. (10 sessions plus introduction)

2017 host Robert Llewellyn
Robert is perhaps best know for his portrayal of Kryten in Red Dwarf. Still the show with the highest ever ratings for BBC2, the last series was made in 1998, but the long awaited movie is just around the corner.
He went on to present Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge. The engineering-based show features two teams competing to build a working machine from spare parts salvaged from a scrapyard.
Robert's series Carpool started out as an online podcast. The show sees Robert interviewing celebrities whilst giving them a lift in his Hybrid Toyota. Past guests include Stephen Fry, Sir Patrick Stewart, Quentin Willson and Robert's Red Dwarf co-stars. The podcasts proved so popular that comedy channel Dave took the series on.
He also has a long string of writing credits, including Therapy and How to Avoid It, co-written with Nigel Planer. In 2008 he published Sold Out: How I survived a year of not shopping - based on his series of films on YouTube.
Prior to becoming a comedian, Llewellyn served an apprenticeship and became a professional shoemaker, working at James Taylor & Son and John Lobb Bootmaker in London. Speaking to Richard Herring, he said he still maintains an interest in the craft; "There is still a side of me that wants to develop a kind of 3D printed shoe thing... where you just put your foot in a thing and you just get a shoe and it's there. and it fits absolutely exquisitely, immediately."
Llewellyn, who is of Anglo-Welsh ancestry, learnt to drive at age 11 (having been taught by his older brother in a go-kart); formerly a "petrol-head", he is now an electric car advocate. As well as being frequently interviewed on the subject, he has a related video blog called Fully Charged.
Host is subject to change without notice due to TV engagements.

Three giants teaming up for an ambitious schedule
For the first time three of Mammoet's biggest cranes work at the same time to help realize an ambitious construction schedule for PETRONAS.
Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) is Malaysia's fully integrated oil and gas multinational, wholly-owned by the Malaysian Government. PETRONAS' largest downstream investment in Malaysia is the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC). With an investment of $27 billion US, it covers an area of 2,526 hectares in Pengerang, Johor. The PIC consists of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) and is supported by its Associated Facilities forms part of the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC). This project supports the government's Economic Transformation Programme which will be operational by 2019. With the production goal of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd), the refinery and petrochemical plants are designed to produce premium differentiated and specialty petrochemicals. RAPID will contribute to transforming Malaysia in to an oil and gas hub to meet increasing demands over the next 20 years.
In order for PETRONAS to achieve their ambitious target of becoming operational by 2019, it is necessary to work on multiple phases of the construction simultaneously. Since 2016 Mammoet professionals and up to 35 cranes have been engaged on site. This involved the installation of big and heavy columns, the largest of which is 1,809 tons and 121 meters in height. To be able to lift and install those columns high capacity cranes are necessary and, given the ambitious schedule, some need to work in parallel. Therefore, Mammoet mobilized three of their biggest cranes from their global fleet to Malaysia – the PT 50 (Mammoet - PT 50) , PTC 35 (Mammoet - PTC 35) and PTC 140 (Mammoet - PTC 140) ring cranes. PTCs are built on a ring track instead of crawlers. They have been specifically designed to combine a wide reach and high capacity on a small footprint. The ability to turn 360 degrees brings a combination of agility, flexibility and sheer lifting power. This is the first time in history that three of Mammoet's PTC type cranes are operating on one site at the same time. Together they offer a capacity of 10,000 tons and 225,000 ton meters.

The focus of today's Blogmas post is a letter to Santa. I wasn't exactly sure what to write, seeing as my old letters to santa was just a list written out with a "please" and "thank you" with all my lusted-for items given in order of importance to the big man himself. Yes, I ranked the items, complete with numbers in case Santa didn't get the hint, in the order in which I wanted them. I wrote it on Christmas scrapbook paper, folded it up, and gave it to my dad, who always promised to fax it to Santa. How cool is that? All the other kids had to mail in their letters, but my dad faxed it. He had a direct line to Mr. Kringle.
This year, I actually struggled to come up with a concrete list of what I wanted. A DSLR camera was pretty much the one thing on my wishlist this year – an investment for my blog. Maybe a plane ticket, if Santa was feeling generous.
Most people don't actually believe that there's not much I want for Christmas. I mean, I guess there is plenty of stuff I want. I actually always have a little wishlist going, but half of it is my "in your wildest dreams" list and the other half is stuff I either wait until I don't want anymore or save up and buy myself. In the wishlist below, the top half is a "keep dreaming" ongoing list for when I make my big break and the bottom half is a little more realistic.
I wasn't pressuring Santa with all those material and unrealistic wants this year, but you can take a look and see if we have the same taste. *wink wink*
Below the wishlist is my letter to Santa and if y'all are just here for the giveaway, go ahead and skip to the end. You're going to miss a nice letter, but I understand it's a busy season and we all have to make choices in how we spend our time. Don't worry, I'm not offended. It's pretty personal anyway.
Letter to Santa
Dear Mr. Claus,
Sorry for the formalities, I feel like I don't know you anymore. Maybe it's the big bustling of the cities I've been living in, or the stress of moving to a different house, or the constant struggle of trying to stay on top of everything as a semi-adult.
I don't even know what I want for Christmas. I asked for a camera, and that was it. I asked for something to improve the state of my current business, something that could further my career. If I could ask for a funded 401k, IRA, or pension plan, I would probably ask for that too.
I guess this is the first year that I don't really want anything. I mean, sure there are a lot of things I want, but anything I truly want, I can save up for myself at this point. So what do I really want? I want something you can't give to me, something you can't make in a factory.
I want to graduate college; I want to graduate with honors, debt-free and stress free. If you have a stress reliever that works like magic, that would be much appreciated. I want to spend Christmas with all the people I love all in one place. Again, I know this is unrealistic since all the people I love are spread across the country and even across the world.
As for what you can do, please give anything that would go to me and give them to someone more deserving. Give them to someone who does have wants and needs. For Christmas this year, please give that happiness to others. I am happy and my heart is full. Please give to those who are lacking in what I already have. Give them hope to keep going, food on their table, new toys under the tree, and love in all of their hearts.
And please, give my professors whatever they want so that they may grade my final semester in college easier. Also, if there are plane tickets in my stocking, I probably wouldn't complain.

Stomach and the intestines together perform the most important function of our body, and that is digestion. The food that we eat is processed, the needed nutrients are absorbed, and the residual materials are processed again to obtain every ounce of nutrients possible. The leftovers are then discarded through the intestines. This whole process forms the very basis of the proper functioning of the human body. Hence, it is of utmost importance that we take proper care of our stomach and bowels with organic stomach supplements. A healthy digestive system will ensure that all other systems of the body are in sound condition, ensuring the overall health of the body.
Issues related to stomach and bowels
The stomach and the intestine in our body are susceptible to various infections, diseases, and other issues. One of the most common problems is the acid reflux. The acids in the stomach rise through the esophagus and into the mouth, causing irritation and a burning sensation. Peptic ulcers are another serious issue that the stomach and the digestive tract face. Due to disruption in the normal pH level of the stomach, the acidity of the stomach increases, damaging the delicate stomach wall. These damages later develop into ulcers, which are quite -painful. Lactose intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. are other major digestive disorders seen among people.
What causes bowel problems?
The reasons for the occurrence of bowel problems range from habitual to genetic. It can be due to daily habits like smoking, diet, etc. It can also be genetic, depending on the family history of the disorders. The environment that you live in can play a major role in the health of the bowels. In some women, pregnancy can lead to bowel disorders as well.
How to take care of the bowel?
All vegetables and fruits are rich in fiber and help a great deal in keeping the bowels healthy. The high fiber content in your diet will make it easy for the food to move through the digestive tract and keep it clean and healthy. It will reduce chances of the bowels being constipated.
You need to stay away from the fatty cuts of meat, which upon consumption make the digestion process difficult. Try to pick the lean cuts of the meat such as skinless poultry, pork loin, etc. as it contains less fat.
Water intake is very important for the right pace of digestion process. It will make the digestion more smooth and help in the movement of the food inside the bowels with ease. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Drinking herbal tea or herbal infusions on a daily basis can help a lot in maintaining a healthy bowel.
Your digestive system thrives on the amount minerals and vitamins that are present inside the body. Sometimes, your regular diet might not be enough to meet the needs and requirements for the health of the bowels. Adding supplements to your daily diet can aid in improving the health of the bowels to a considerable degree. Also, make sure that you stick to organic supplements as they are free from any harmful chemicals and render desired results without any side effects.
Eat your meals in small proportions, 6 to 8 times a day. This will put less pressure on the bowels and help them to do their job easily. Also, chew your food properly so that the stomach and the bowels won't have to do much work. This has also proven to be an effective method to lose weight.
If you have a schedule for a meal, make sure that you follow it religiously. Any irregularity in the diet can lead to elevated acid production, which in turn results in acidity, ulcers, etc. Skipping meals is a bad idea.
To keep the digestive tract of the body happy and healthy, all you need to do is eat healthily and add a few nutritional supplements into the diet. Follow these guidelines and soon you will be able to maintain the stomach and the bowels in fine condition without any effort. If you wish to know more about stomach supplements, click here.

The present invention relates to the field of wireless computer networks and, in particular, to the hardware and software architectures for a node to be used in such a network, especially where the network operates according to the protocol specified in the IEEE Standard 802.11, and variants thereof.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) manages most of the worldwide standards for computer local area networks (LANs) and its IEEE 802.11 Standard represents the first standard for wireless LAN (WLAN) products. The majority of the WLAN products available in the marketplace today are proprietary spread spectrum solutions targeting vertical applications operating in the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. These products include wireless adapters and access points in PCMCIA, ISA and custom PC board platforms. Proprietary solutions for some applications are beneficial, especially for those requiring market differentiation or customization of a wireless LAN network. However, proprietary solutions are typically customized and constrain end users into purchasing products from a single equipment supplier. The advantage of standards-based products is that users can choose from a number of vendors that provide compatible products. This increases competition and provides the potential for lower cost products. Thus, interoperability, low cost and stimulation of market demand are some of the advantages that standards-based solutions offer.
The IEEE 802.11 standard defines the protocol for two types of networks: Ad-hoc and client/server networks. An Ad-hoc network is a simple network where communications are established between multiple stations in a given coverage area without the use of an access point or server. The standard specifies the etiquette or protocol that each station must observe so that they all have fair access to the wireless communication link. It also provides schemes for arbitrating requests to use the communication link to ensure that throughput is maximized for all users. In contrast, client/server networks use an access point that controls the allocation of bandwidth (i.e., transmission times) for all stations. The access point may also be used to handle traffic to and from a wired or wireless backbone. This arrangement allows for point coordination of all of the stations in the network and ensures proper handling of the data traffic as the access point routes data between the stations and to and from the network. Typically WLANs controlled by a central access point will provide better throughput performance.
The IEEE 802.11 standard does not specify technology or implementation but simply provides specifications for the physical layer and Media Access Control (MAC) layer of a network. The standard thus allows for manufacturers of wireless LAN radio equipment to build interoperable network equipment, while still providing design freedom for these vendors to choose desired implementations.
The physical layer (or phy) in any network defines the modulation and signaling characteristics for the transmission of data. At the physical layer of an 802.11-compliant network, two RF (radio frequency) and one infrared transmission methods are defined. For purposes of this discussion, only the RF methods are considered, but in general the schemes described herein may be equally applicable to infrared transmissions. Operation of a WLAN in unlicensed RF bands requires the use of spread spectrum modulation to meet the requirements for operation in most countries. The RF transmission standards set forth in the 802.11 standard are Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). Both architectures are defined for operation in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, typically occupying the 83 MHz of bandwidth from 2.400 GHz to 2.483 GHz. Differential band phase shift keying (DBPSK) and differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) are the modulation techniques employed for the DSSS networks. Frequency hopping networks use 2–4 level Gaussian FSK (frequency shift keying) as the modulation signaling method. The physical layer data rate for FHSS systems is 1 Mbps. For DSSS systems both 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates are supported. The choice between FHSS and DSSS will depend on a number of factors related to the users application and the environment that the system will be operating within.
The DSSS physical layer uses an 11-bit Barker code Sequence to spread the data before it is transmitted. Each bit transmitted is modulated by the 11-bit sequence. This process spreads the RF energy across a wider bandwidth than would be otherwise required to transmit the raw data. The processing gain of the system is defined as 10x the log of the ratio of spreading rate (also know as the chip rate) to the data. The receiver "despreads" the received signal to recover the original data. The advantage of this technique is that it reduces the effect of narrowband sources of interference. The spreading architecture used in the direct sequence physical layer should not be confused with code division multiple access (CDMA) networks. All 802.11 compliant products utilize the same pseudorandom (PN) code and therefore do not have a set of codes available as is required for CDMA operation.
The FHSS physical layer has 22 hop patterns to choose from. The frequency hop physical layer is required to hop across the 2.4 GHz band covering 79 channels. Each channel occupies 1 Mhz of bandwidth and transmitters must hop at a specified minimum rate (2.5 hops per second in the United States). Each of the physical layers use their own unique header to synchronize with the receiver and to determine the signal modulation format and data packet length. The physical layer headers are always transmitted at 1 Mbps. Predefined fields in the headers provide the option to increase the data rate to 2 Mbps for the actual data packet.
The MAC layer specification for the 802.11 standard has similarities to the 802.3 Ethernet wired line standard. 802.11 networks use a protocol scheme know as carrier-sense, multiple access, collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). This protocol seeks to avoid data collisions instead of detecting them such as the algorithm used in the 802.3 standard. It is difficult to detect collisions in an RF transmission network and it is for this reason that collision avoidance is used.
The MAC layer operates together with the physical layer by sampling the energy over the medium transmitting data. The physical layer uses a clear channel assessment (CCA) algorithm to determine if the channel is clear. This is accomplished by measuring the RF energy at the antenna and determining the strength of the received signal. This measured signal is commonly known as RSSI. If the received signal strength is below a specified threshold the channel is declared clear and the MAC layer is given the clear channel status for data transmission. If the RF energy is above the threshold, data transmissions are deferred in accordance with the protocol rules.
The standard provides another option for CCA that can be used in place of or together RSSI measurement. Carrier sense can be used to determine if the channel is available. This technique is more selective because it verifies that the signal is the same carrier type as 802.11 transmitters. The best method to use depends upon the levels of interference in the operating environment.
The CSMA/CA protocol allows for options the can minimize collisions by using request to send (RTS), clear-to-send (CTS), data and acknowledge (ACK) transmission frames, in a sequential fashion. Communications are established when one of the wireless nodes sends a short message RTS frame. The RTS frame includes the destination and the length of message. The message duration is known as the network allocation vector (NAV). The NAV alerts all others in the network, to back off the communication link for the duration of the transmission. The receiving station issues a CTS frame which echoes the senders address and the NAV. If the CTS frame is not received, it is assumed that a collision occurred and the RTS process starts over. After the data frame is received, an ACK frame is sent back verifying a successful data transmission.
A common limitation with wireless LAN systems is the "hidden node" problem. This can disrupt a significant volume of the communication traffic in a highly loaded LAN environment. It occurs when there is a station in a service set that cannot detect the transmission of another station to detect that the media is busy. In such cases two or more stations that are unaware of one another's transmissions may try to transmit at the same time to another station that can "hear" more than one of the transmitting stations. The use of RTS, CTS, Data and ACK sequences helps prevent the disruptions caused by this problem.
Thus, the 802.11 standard defines practices that ensure network interoperability, however, as indicated above, the standard does not specify any particular implementation details. For example, the 802.11 standard makes no mention of how protocol functions should be divided between hardware and software operations in an 802.11 compliant product. Such decisions are left to product vendors.
A medium access control (MAC) layer for a node of a wireless local area network, which may be used in embedded, host and stand-alone applications, includes a hardware layer and a software layer. The hardware layer is configured to perform time-critical tasks and the software layer is configured to perform non-time critical tasks. The software layer includes multiple modules, such as one or more of a host communication agent, a bridging layer, a network management support module, a SBM-to-TAME conversion module, and a rate estimation module. Further, the software layer acts as the source of and the destination of MAC Service Data Units and is configured as a hierarchical structure in which functional unit blocks for associated elements of the hardware layer communicate with an application layer through respective device drivers and managers. Device drivers and managers communicate through a device manager layer. In a host-based configuration, all communication layers above the MAC layer run on a host.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:
A system (e.g., hardware and software) architecture for wireless local area network devices is disclosed herein. More specifically, examples of hardware and software functionality (and division of labor there between) for Quality of Service (QoS)-based computer network devices that incorporate 802.11-compliant MACs are discussed herein. Although discussed with reference to certain illustrated embodiments, upon review of this specification, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the present architecture and the devices built upon such architecture may find application in a variety of systems. Therefore, in the following description the illustrated embodiments should be regarded as exemplary only and should not be deemed to be limiting in scope.
The following abbreviations are used throughout this discussion:
The following terminology is used throughout this discussion:
The system architecture described herein is intended for use with 802.11e-compliant devices with support for multimedia streaming and Quality of Service (QoS) as detailed in the 802.11e standard promulgated by the IEEE. More specifically, the devices described herein include an ASIC with enhancements to the 802.11 MAC, called SMAC, to support the proposed IEEE 802.11e standard. The ASIC includes a FUB configured to provide support for QoS operations; this FUB is referred to as a SITARA. The software running on the ASIC includes a MAC layer, a bridging layer, network management support and other product-related segments such as an Ethernet driver, a PCI/PCMCIA/USB driver, Flash ROM support for configuration information storage, etc. This description addresses both a host-based and embedded application of the proposed scheme.
In general NICs (network interface cards), bridges and gateway products can be realized using either of these configurations. While a NIC constitutes a host-based application, a bridge is an embedded application. A gateway can be realized either as a host-based application, e.g., using a two-processor approach, or as an embedded application, e.g., using just an ASIC for both MAC and higher layer operations. These different applications are described in more detail below.
Now referring to
Within the nodes 12 and 14, the functions of the 802.11e MAC may be implemented partly in software and partly in hardware. In one embodiment, a preferred practice is to implement any function that is time critical in the 802.11e protocol in hardware, thus achieving predictable timing and making the software easier to write, maintain and enhance. For purposes of such embodiments, events that require a response within a few hundred microseconds (μs) and/or occur more frequently than say 500 times per second (i.e., within a 2 msec interval) may be considered time critical.
A MAC hardware accelerator configured in accordance with the present teachings (SITARA) should support the transmission of sequences of multimedia protocol data units (MPDUs), together with related timing, without any frame-by-frame software interaction. At the same time, the hardware should not have the burden of additional buffering, other than what is already provided by software, of the entire frames' data before transmission. The MAC-module in software interacts with the MAC hardware to prepare queues of frames to transmit, analyze and deliver the received frames. The 802.11 e retry rules, segmentation and re-assembly, timing generation and management functions are performed largely in software.
With these partitions between software and hardware functionality in mind, a hardware block diagram for a WLAN device 20 configured in accordance with the present invention is shown in Error! Reference source not found. The device 20 includes an ASIC 22, system memory (e.g., RAM) 24, boot/configuration memory (e.g., flash-ROM or PROM) 26, a baseband processor (e.g., to provide 802.11a or 802.11b functionality/compatibility) 28, an RF section 30, a host interface 32, and an external control bus interface 34. Other components such as Ethernet Phys and related connectors 36 may also be provided. The baseband processor 28 and the RF section 30 may either be provided on the same circuit board as the ASIC 22 or they may be provided as part of a daughter radio board attached to a circuit board which includes ASIC 22.
ASIC 22 includes a control processor core (e.g., an ARM processor core as is customary in ASIC applications) and related circuitry 38, a memory controller 40, and various functional unit blocks (FUBs) for PCI/PCMCIA/USB ports 42, Ethernet ports 44, and the 802.11e MAC 46. The ASIC 22 may also include a configuration and general purpose input/output (GPIO) port 48 for functions such as a status display through one or more LEDs, and an external connector bus (ECB) interface 50 that can be used to provide support for other devices such as a second Ethernet connection, an HPNA connection, or other MACs such as HiperLan2 and IEEE-1394. Further, an error correction codec 54 may be included. Internal busses (not shown) couple the elements of ASIC 22 to the host processor core 38 in the customary fashion.
Not all WLAN devices are stand-alone devices. In some cases, WLAN devices are host-based products. A network interface card (NIC) is a good example of a host-based application for WLAN devices configured in accordance with the present invention. A NIC is always attached to a host and provides 802.11e wireless network interface to that host. A personal computer is an example of a host in this configuration. Hence, the NIC is composed of an ASIC 22, a NIC hardware board, software (illustrated as a firmware application and MAC module) for ASIC 22, an NDIS (or similar) driver (usually found in the host) and the network management software (also found in the host). The system block diagram for a NIC 60 with personal computer as host 62 is shown in Error! Reference source not found. All communication layers above the MAC (such as TCP/IP and higher layers) are envisaged to be running on the host 62.
At the top layer of the 802.11e MAC module, communication is carried out through a MAC application programming interface (API). The MAC API is appropriately programmed by the software application. The software application layer consists of multiple modules including a host communication agent, network management support, SBM-to-TAME conversion, rate estimation module, etc. Conceptually the software application can be seen as the source of and the destination of MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs) from the 802.11e MAC.
The host 62 supports an NDIS driver, which may be a thin layer passing frames between the host and the NIC, and making basic MAC management decisions. The network management software may be an application program running on the host 62, which helps in device installation and device management. Note that in a Gateway product implemented using two processors, one host processor may be used for router applications and an ASIC 22 may be used as a wireless interface. In the illustrated application, the host processor 62 runs the software necessary for network management and provides a driver that is functionally similar to an NDIS driver for communication with the NIC.
In addition to host-based applications, embedded applications of the present MAC may also be used. A bridge is a good example of an embedded application of the MAC. A bridge is a layer-2 device connecting a wired network (e.g., either Ethernet or HPNA) to an 802.11e (i.e., wireless) network. There is no host assumed for this configuration. Hence, a bridge application 65 includes an ASIC 22, a hardware board, and software for ASIC 22 including the 802.11e MAC module and the network management module. The system block diagram for a bridge 65 is shown in Error! Reference source not found. No communication layers above the MAC (such as TCP/IP) are assumed to be running on the processor core 38. For a gateway device implemented using single ASIC 22, as an embedded application, the higher layers are present and running on ASIC 22.
The software application layer for the bridge 65 includes a bridging module and embedded network management module along with the modules such as SBM, if necessary, SBM-to-TAME conversion, rate estimation, etc. that were present in the NIC configuration. Along with these modules, the software in a bridge 65 contains a driver for the Ethernet FUB instead of the driver for the host interface FUB. As in the host-based application, the software application can be considered the source of and the destination of MSDUs.
In general, all control frames received across the 802.11e MAC are handled by the hardware upon reception and all frames to be transmitted are constructed by the software, except those control frames (CF) and acknowledgement (Ack) frames transmitted as immediate responses (within xIFS) to the received frames. These latter control and ack frames are constructed by the hardware. As part of this process, a CF-Ack notification (or a failure notification) is provided from hardware to software as applicable.
The software context diagram for the present scheme is shown in Error! Reference source not found. The hardware accelerator (SITARA) performs the time critical tasks and expects the rest of the tasks to be performed either in the embedded software or in the host software. The hardware does not take inter-packet decisions by itself unless it is instructed to do so. Hence, the embedded software is expected to provide all the control information to the hardware and additionally indicate the action to be taken in cases such as a transmission failure. This control information may be included in a transmit-frame-header structure defined for SITARA and some of the action information could be passed in control registers of SITARA.
Thus, the hardware accelerator passes received information such as data and events, including timer events (time outs and the like), scheduled transmission events and completion reports/errors and beacon events to the embedded software. In return, the embedded software passes CFP/CP control messages, timer settings, poll and transmission control information and the actual packets for transmission to the hardware. The embedded and host processor software layers exchange MIB updates and values, stream connect/disconnect information, channel information, flow control information and transmission and reception information between one another. The MAC software thus communicates with two entities: the MAC hardware and the host. Hence, the external interfaces to the MAC software are the MAC hardware interfaces and the host interfaces.
As shown, the host is the source of new MIB updates, transmission requests and the stream connect/disconnect events arising out of reception of RSVP-like signaling packets. The embedded software provides receive indications, values of MIB variables, channel status changes and the stream connect/disconnect events arising out of events within the MAC or upon such instruction from EAP/EPC. The host software includes a host software driver (e.g., an NDIS driver on a Windows environment) and a network management application. The host software driver includes interfaces to higher layers, a D/SBM layer and a hardware abstraction layer to interface with the ASIC. In order to make the best use of the streaming support in the 802.11e standard, the host software driver should be capable of stream classification. Hence, depending on the QoS requirement it should be possible to flow control each stream differently over the hardware interface to the ASIC.
The MAC hardware is the source of received data and a number of different types of events, such as a receive packet event, transmit failure/success events and timer events. The MAC software provides formatted packets and additional control, if needed, in the hardware registers so that the hardware can transmit a sequence of frames. Hence on the transmit side, it is the responsibility of the MAC software to deal with all the management frames, segmentation, stream/priority classification, packet queuing and ordering, into a transmit table for the hardware. The hardware will then perform the transmit operations according to the information in the table. On the receive side, the MAC software handles tasks like constructing delayed-Ack frames and delivering data packets to the host. Additionally the MAC software performs all non-time-critical tasks such as stream connection/disconnection process, channel status estimation/analysis, time allocation per D/SBM request, etc.
The embedded software includes the MAC module, an embedded application layer and a host interface. An architecture for the embedded software for the ASIC is shown in Error! Reference source not found. The figure also shows the possibility of other device drivers (such as an Ethernet driver) that can be present in the embedded software. For a host-based application, all the other ports are absent.
As shown, the device drivers interface with the hardware FUBs on one side and with their respective manager entities through the device manager layer on the other side. The device manager provides uniform interfaces so that the device driver and its manager can be developed in parallel. The embedded application layer for a host-based application includes connections between the host interface manager and the WLAN manager.
Thus, a system architecture for wireless local area network devices has been described. Although the foregoing description and accompanying figures discuss and illustrate specific embodiments, it should be appreciated that the present invention is to be measured only in terms of the claims that follow.

My recent trip back to New York City truly felt like I was returning home – well my second home. Everything was familiar, I was surprised I could navigate and remember geographically where everything was! Spending half my time in an amazing apartment near Chelsea and the other half in Brooklyn allowed me to really experience New York and all it has to offer.
Oh how I missed eating delicious Mexican food at Dos Caminos Soho or amazing Vegan food at Soy & Sake in West Village or even just hanging at my boys work at St Marks Place. Not to mention yummy hot dogs perfect for a day in Central Park – I had the pleasure of skating in the ice rink, the same one where Blair Wardorf skated with her father. Oh and did I mention I also spotted Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester filming Gossip Girl in Soho? What I can't really understand is how the days just flew by! It feels so strange and surreal to be back in Sydney – especially since this time it truly felt like I was a New Yorker. I also had an amazing night out at Brooklyn Bowl – where I was blessed to see Toots and the Maytals perform live.
Left my heart in NYC and can't wait to be back. I've made so many new friends, it truly was heartbreaking to leave. Also, the lovely sparrow watercolour sketch was a gift from my boy – its also the new ink I got on my ribs. I guess I can never leave the Big Apple without some more ink haha. I hope you enjoy my new york photo diary as well as an outfit post and of course you get to see my new lilac hair!
My new hair – loving my lilac. So dope!
My newly purchased Helmut Lang dress from Bloomingdales Soho – possibly one of my best buys (my other favourite was the Zara tweed jacket I snapped up [see below])
St Marks – one of my favourite places in Manhattan.
What I wore:
Zara tweed jacket
Tigerlily singlet
Shakuhachi skirt
All Saints necklace
Topshop booties
American Apparel socks
YSL Arty ring

Osaka's first snow of the year
Osaka Travel Blog› entry 1 of 14 › view all entries
I woke up, the room was covered in darkness,it must of been earlier than I thought I couldn't hear any traffic outside so I reached over and fumbled around the floor searching for my watch wondering what time it was. My eyes squinting in the darkness makes out that its 9 am in the morning. 9 o'clock it can't be I thought it's just too dark in here.
I walk over to the curtain and slide it over expecting to see rays of light shine into the room but today there is no sun and all I can see is thick grey clouds, not rain clouds though but clouds full of snow. I open the curtain wider and see beautiful fluffy white snow floating down from the sky and hit the ground.
In Osaka the snow melts straight away as soon as it hits the ground but this time it was different, it wasn't melting,it was covering the ground forming a beautiful white blanket.
Then my attention went over to the rice field that lies opposite our apartment, but I could not see any field it was completely white. The shop keeper was also out the front of his shop sweeping snow away so his valuable customers could enter the shop. The cars outside in the car park were covered with snow, drivers cleaning the snow from their car, then sitting in and waiting for the motor to warm up before taking off to where ever they were going.For me it was interesting just to stand and watch the outside action.

I went to buy a new car today for myself whilst the sales man said he would go off and speak to manager I noticed he lifted the phone off the hook not thinking I spotted him doing this.
I whispered to my wife don't say anything about the deal because I felt they where listening in, when sales man returned I asked why phone was taken off hook and was he trying to listen to my conversation,
his reply was because I don't want it ringing and disturbing us he then picked phone up placed on receiver (old style phone) then lifted off receiver and said listen if you don't believe me? I refused because you've just placed it down and picked it back up cancelling any call.
He then showed me the deal which was absolute crap because he was showing a price of £19000 when the car is on there own website £17500 when I challenged about price, his reply well we have to start some where and I get to a deal that benefits both of us. I then said don't treat me like I am stupid, he then said I feel you are getting confrontational. At that point I just got up and walked out the showroom. Great customer service not.
I hope they don't try contacting me tomorrow

Blogging Positively Guide - original word-processor version
Expand Messages
- Hi JanetI think I mentioned this some time ago. Do you have the original word-processor (.doc etc) version of the Blogging Positively Guide, and could you send me a copy please?I'd like to re-layout the guide in Landscape format, suitable for viewing/reading on 4-by-3 or 16-by-19 Television screens. Then I can convert it to a set of JPEG pages and burn it to CD-ROM, so people/schools/etc in developing countries can read it on a cheap TV + DVD Player. That should increase access to the guide.(I've tried converting the PDF back to .doc, but it loses a lot of the formatting).Also, is the guide only available in English, or in Kiswahili, Spanish, etc too?Many thanks.Ricardo

Yes that is a set image, and yes there are only seven more months till we see it all on the big screen! With the cast complete and filming almost done, you probably didn't know that the third installment for Rurôni Kenshin comes out a month after 'The Great Kyôto Fire Arc' entitled 'Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend' which will open on September 13. Of course we'll all have to wait a few months for subtitling, but to think it's so close to ending already has my heart shattered.
I'm secretly, but doubtfully, hoping that 'The End of a Legend' will tackle the fight against Yukishiro Enishi, but so far no news on the matter, so don't get your hopes up. As for the progress and behind-the-scenes of 'The Great Kyoto Arc' according to costume designer Kazuhiro Sawataishi (the designer for all three live-action Rurouni Kenshin films) it takes about an hour to dress up Tatsuya Fujiwara in his Shishio outfit, covering him in a hard plaster-like material from head to toe. The amount of dedication this team has to appeasing the fans is incredible, and is greatly appreciated.
When this trilogy does end in September I'm hoping this team continues making long loved cult series' into live-actions. This is probably one of the only teams I'd trust with such a task.
Signing off now with the teaser video. Prepare for goosebumps and ENJOY!
