Watch a video review:
A couple of decades ago several small amp manufacturers, noting the demand for used Fender amps, started to produce amplifiers using old Fender circuits, capitalizing on the simplicity of operation and purity of tone of these classics. I invested in a Clark Piedmont ('59 Bassman) and a Clark Beaufort (narrow panel Deluxe) and so am well acquainted with the high standards used to produce these replicas.
It didn't take Fender long to figure out that there was a market waiting for reissues of some of their most revered models, and thus followed a steady stream of amps that bore the Fender logo and looked just like the amps of yore. Most contemporary players understood the choice of the first series of reissue models, but sometime around 2004 the '57 Twin (model 5E8-A, also known as the low-power Twin) came out, and the less vintage-oriented players scratched their gearheads and wondered.
What's up with the '57 Twin?
The first Fender amps (and most others) were born out of circuits printed in the back pages of tube manufacturers' catalogs suggesting ways to use their new audio tubes. The early circuits based on these primitive tubes were simple, and the initial amp models were wimpy, but somewhere against the hum of these primordial beasts the sharp report of the starter's pistol signaled the beginning of the amplifier race.
Leo Fender could not play the guitar, but he had a knack for translating into products the suggestions and demands of those who could. Most of his advisers were the country guitar and steel players of southern California, with a few big-city rock 'n' rollers thrown in. The professional players wanted loud. They needed to fill the sonic space of large ballrooms, dance halls, roadhouses and outdoor celebrations without the benefit of the Front of House monoliths that are seen at today's large venues. Beginning in 1952 at 25 watts, the Twin Amp was Leo's answer to this demand.
The Twin underwent constant modification and several model changes in the years to follow. As the models changed, the power output increased. What is unique about the 5E8-A is that it used two 5U4 rectifier tubes (higher power rectifiers had not been invented yet) to prevent the sag of the attack/decay envelope and allow a decrease in the negative feedback loop to the tone stack. This made the Twin loud and punchy enough to cut through, but also allowed another browner, spongy tone favored mainly by Blues players by simply removing one of the rectifiers.
The subsequent Twin Amp models featured four output tubes and high-power or solid-state rectifiers and many more output watts, making them suitable only for very loud rock gigs and large venues.
Meet the Beastie
The '57 Twin RI is a replica of its predecessor manufactured by the Fender Custom Shop (with a few changes thrown in for versatility's sake). The nicely applied lacquered Tweed cloth covers a finger-jointed, solid-pine cabinet with a thin leather handle (more on that later). The chromed steel vertical chassis houses highquality components mounted on a sturdy black fiberglass eyelet board, sturdy tube sockets, and nicely done point-to-point wiring. The switches, jacks and pots are high quality and the transformers and choke are from the highly regarded Mercury Magnetics Company. There is a bias adjustment pot on the circuit board.
The tube complement includes four Sovtek 12AX7WCs, relabeled Groove Tubes 12AX7- R; two Groove Tubes-6L6GE (made in the USA) and two Electro Harmonix 5U4GB rectifiers. The speakers are 12" Eminence Alnicos designed by Ted Weber (of Weber VST), which look remarkably like Weber P-12Ns. The top rear-positioned control panel features five chicken-head knobs, which all traverse from 1–12 (take that, Nigel). There are separate Bright and Normal channels, each with its own preamp circuit, separate Volume controls and two jacks, followed by Treble, Bass, and Presence controls that are common to both channels.
Comparing schematics of old and new, there are some relatively important differences. The original used three 12AY7 preamp tubes (but the same AX as the phase inverter). There is no bias adjustment pot on the original, and output tube plate voltages have been increased in the reissue to 450V from original 400V. There are also a couple of internal fuses on the new circuit (good idea). The new circuit is geared toward a brighter, louder sound, with the flexibility of being able to adjust bias on output tubes to provide a more customized sound and allow changes of output tubes from one brand to another.
A few design considerations are in order for us "filament brains" and non-tech types as well. The old Fender amps were not very consistent in sound, due to the fact that the factory tended to use whatever components they had on hand at the time, often of loose tolerance, which led to variations in circuit voltages that could affect sound. Add to this the fact that there was no practical way of adjusting bias in this fixed-bias amp and you could end up with two amps that looked the same but sounded very different.
When Fender set out to make this '57, they picked one particular amp that was admired by many top players and measured all the circuit parameters of that amp. They then used tighter-tolerance components and handwound transformers that individually tested to spec in order to replicate the sound of this amp.

Hi.Just swapped my Fender Vibrolux + some cash and got the amp i always wanted.My Jo Barden Tele sounds fantastic as well as my Strat.The amp is awesome.

can u just pull the rectifier tube out with out changeing the bias current
on 06/19/2010
after having the torres repair kit intalled i promptly blew the alnico speakers into permanent distortion land,i replaced them with celestion vintage 30f you crank the treble past halfway s and shipped them to weber for repair.i got them back,put em in and they soundd ok but i can tell they cant even handle this amps wattage.back went the vintage 30s.the amp sounds good now but still has an annoying hum if you use the treble past 6.living with it.
on 06/01/2010
Jean, how did he Torres repair/fix work in the '57 Twin? I am considering it. Was it worth it?
on 05/12/2010
To Gene:
Since my tech by-passed the cheap internal fuse holders and fuses, my amp runs cleaner. The effect of the oxidized fuse holders was to absorb current like a resistor. This made the amp sound like it was running in a "brown out" - less clean headroom. With no other changes besides by-passing the internal fuses, I have more clean headroom - and the pilot light is visably brighter. Interesting. A good amp tech can bypass the fuses and holders for $70.00. NOT the main fuse on top, just the internal ones that aren't needed. But this will void your warranty. Another thing to check is if your tube bias has changed, or your power tubes are wearing out. Good luck.

when i first got my /57 it was as clean and sparkling as you could ask for but as i used it more it now starts to break up aroung the 4 to 5 volume on the normal channel and i dont know why any ideas or suggestions on how to rectify this matter i do like the break up but also need clean at a decent volume
on 04/22/2010
I reviewed this amp on 8/25/2009. Still LOVE it, especially cranked up and plugged straight in. But I beg to differ with the Premier Guitar Review on one point. The internal fuses are NOT a good idea, but probably put there to meet one new code or another. Mine started blowing one or the other of these fuses every other week or so. Got to take the back off to replace - not good on a gig. The amp was running hot as well. Took to my tech and he did some research. Ran some tests - no unusual current running through the amp. The fuse holders are cheap, poor metal, don't hold the fuses in tight and begin to oxidize very easily, acting like resistors. Heat builds up, the fuses blow. Original 5e8a circuit only had the main fuse by the pilot light, like almost all other Fenders. My amp tech just bypassed the fuses/holders. Amp runs cooler now. Still sounds GREAT. No problems.

bought this amp at guitar center,honestly cant get a decent usable volume out of it.distorts at 4 ,cant use any bass at all,tried all the recommended tube and speaker swaps, now waiting on a repair/fix from torres engineering. i have a 2400.00 bedroom amp.my peavey classic 50 smokes this pig
on 08/25/2009
I own the amp as well. Sounds great with a good drive pedal at lower volumes but really comes into its own with the volume around 8 and no drive pedal. I have replaced the first 3 12AX7's for 12AY7's. This way I get less preamp distortion and more power tube distortion. Very rich and 3D sounding. I love it because at this volume, I can use the guitar volume more as a gain control. 6 is clean with an edge, 8 is blues lead, 10 is over the top distortion. You can go further with a clean boost. For smaller venues, I keep the amp in it's sweet spot but use a good attenuator. Been playing 40 years and had some great amps. This one is my favorite.
on 05/23/2009
I own this amp. I have been very VERY pleased w/it right out of the box. (mine didn't come in a box, does that matter?) I use mine mainly for recording, and I play a very clean sound most of the time, and for me, this amp just fits: all the warmth w/the right amount of high-end sparkle. Beautiful.

Fun Flower Facts
Rose Color Trends: Pretty Pink Roses
A rose is a rose is a rose. Or is it? Unbeknownst to most of us, the 1990s spawned a virtual baby boom of rose varieties. Brought on by a fertile production period, today there are close to 120 rose varieties commercially available - up from the few dozen choices found in flower shops in the 1980s. These new rose varieties have not only expanded the color palette - from extreme lights to bright brights - but have enhanced characteristics such as bloom size, shape, stem length and strength of fragrance. Choose roses from the family of traditional bridal pinks or adopted siblings of hip hot pinks. Cousins on this family tree include peaches, apricots, corals and lavenders.
What are the major holidays for sending flowers?
While any day is a good day to send flowers, the following holidays are the most popular. Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Secretaries Day.

SALT LAKE CITY – Westminster College's Institute for New Enterprise and the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business announced Savvy May Creations as the first place winner of its first on-campus business plan competition – Opportunity Quest. At the Awards Banquet held Friday, January 25, 2008, Savvy May's founders, Brent and Rebecca Davidson, were handed an award check of $5,000. The second place winner was Vinyl Accent, founded by Heather McEntire, a December, 2007 graduate of Westminster College. She and her partner, husband Jacob, were awarded $2,000, and the third place winner, Faster Than Light Education, led by team member Kim Bowman Jr., a Westminster MBA Student, took home $1,000. Savvy May Creations has invented the Cap Trapper™, a simple solution to lost marker caps, and disorganized, dried-up writing instruments (www.savvymaycreations.com (about:www.savvymaycreations.com)). Vinyl Accent, a vinyl sign company, has developed a simple web model to order and customize vinyl signage for small businesses and end-consumers (http://www.vinylaccent.com (about:www.vinylaccent.com )). Faster Than Light Education is a 501 (c)3 non-profit business model designed to provide interactive education with mobile, computer simulation trailers traveling from school to school so students may participate, engage, and be inspired to imagine a better future. First place winner Rebecca Davidson stated that "Westminster's Opportunity Quest has been a fabulous experience. The most valuable part of the competition was the networking and interaction with mentors and judges, which is of more value than the money we received because it will open many doors for us." As Westminster's first place winner, Savvy May Creations will automatically advance as a finalist in the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge (UEC), the statewide business plan competition open to all college students across the state. All teams participating in Westminster's Opportunity Quest can compete in the UEC state competition. The UEC registration deadline is February 2, 2008, and the first place winner of the UEC will be announced in April 2008, receiving $40,000 in cash. The competition, called Opportunity Quest, was co-directed by two Westminster business students, Jason Badell and Jared Hansen, and included a series of events that prepare students for the competition. Events included forums and presentations on business plan writing, presentation skills and one-on-one mentorship from college faculty and other local business community leaders. To learn more about Westminster Opportunity Quest and the Top Ten Finalists, go to www.westminstercollege.edu/opportunityquest. The Institute for New Enterprise at Westminster College has established the Opportunity Quest business plan competition as one of its flagship programs to foster innovative ideas, and provide an experiential learning process to validate, plan and develop sustainable business models. Housed in the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business, the Institute of New Enterprise aims to help individuals create organizations that promote independence and self-sufficiency, and make significant contributions to our communities.

There's literally nothing like it on the planet. Set on a pristine tract of land close to Columbia's sprawl, but seemingly a galaxy away, Congaree National Park (100 National Park Rd., 803/776-4396, www.nps.gov/cosw, daily dawn–dusk, free) contains the most ancient stands of old-growth cypress left in the world. It is, quite simply, one of my favorite places. And like any truly great experience, it's free.
Adjacent to the Harry Hampton Visitor Center (daily 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.), which has a great gift shop in addition to good educational exhibits, you'll embark on a system of elevated boardwalks and trails (20 miles all told) that take you into and throughout a good portion of Congaree National Park's 22,000 acres. A well-done self-guided tour brochure explains the fascinating aspects of this unique environment, almost unknown to the civilized world today.
You'll see cypresses towering over 130 feet into the air (Congaree National Park is said to have the tallest forest canopy on Earth, including the arboreal forests of Canada and the Himalayas). At ground level you'll see hundreds of cypress "knees," parts of their root system that jut aboveground. You'll see unbelievably massive loblolly pines—a larger, immeasurably grander species than the sad slash pine tree farms that took over much of the South's available acreage with the arrival of the big paper plants in the 1930s.
You'll have the rare experience of seeing what an old-growth forest actually looks like, and why it's so peaceful: Because the canopy shuts off so much light, there is almost no understory. You can walk among the great trees as if you were in a scene from Lord of the Rings. You'll view gorgeous Weston Lake, actually an oxbow lake that was once part of the Congaree River itself, isolated as the river changed course over time. You'll see—and much more often, hear—a wide range of wildlife, including owls, waterfowl, and several species of woodpecker, including the rare red-cockaded woodpecker.
You can kayak the Cedar Creek, or take one of the free guided canoe tours every Saturday and Sunday, with canoe provided. And the serious hiker will enjoy the expansive series of trails that go even deeper into the wilderness than the standard boardwalk loop (sorry, pedal-pushers—no bikes are allowed on the trails or boardwalks).
As you experience Congaree National Park—its name was recently changed from "Congaree National Swamp"—take in some deep breaths. Notice the crisp, clean smell—really more a lack of smell. You definitely get the sense of stepping back in time, and you might find yourself expecting to see a pterodactyl circling overhead.
As awesome as Congaree National Park is, I don't recommend a visit in the depth of the Carolina summer. Fall is my favorite time to visit—the air is crisp and the foliage is stunning. While the park generally closes at 5 p.m., occasionally it stays open later for various special Ranger programs; call or consult the website for more info.
If you're really into it, you can even do primitive camping here, for free. Get a permit from the Visitor Center first.

Replacing sexism with racism is not a proper holla back. Ditto to classism, homophobia, transphobia, and the usage of any other identity signifier.
In our experience, street harassment comes from people in every facet of our cultures and every strata of society. We ask that you refrain from referencing the attributes of your harasser because this movement is about changing societal values, not pointing fingers. If you feel those details are important to your story, please make sure its relevance is explained clearly and constructively in your post (like for example; if your harasser calls you "a racist").
Hollaback!Brussels is flamboyantly anti-racist, anti-classist, anti-homophobic, and anti- all the other forms of discrimination that are designed to keep people 'in their place.' We seek to understand street harassment from every possible perspective, and seek to represent our movement with as wide and diverse a constituency as possible.

Mutations in centrosomin reveal requirements for centrosomal function during early Drosophila embryogenesis
Current Biology, Volume 9, Issue 16, 26 August 1999, Pages 889-898
Dalit Vaizel-Ohayon and Eyal D. Schejter
SummaryBackground: Although centrosomes serve as the primary organizing centers for the microtubule-based cytoskeleton in animal cells, various studies question the requirements for these organelles during the formation of microtubule arrays and execution of microtubule-dependent processes. Using a genetic approach to interfere with centrosomal function, we present an assessment of this issue, in the context of early embryogenesis of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.Results: We identified mutant alleles of the centrosomin (cnn) locus, which encodes a core component of centrosomes in Drosophila. The cnn mutant flies were viable but sterile. The normal course of early embryonic development was arrested in all progeny of cnn mutant females. Our analysis identified a failure to form functional centrosomes and spindle poles as the primary mutant phenotype of cnn embryos. Various aspects of early development that are dependent on cytoskeletal control were disrupted in cnn mutant embryos. In particular, structural rearrangements of cortical microfilaments were strongly dependent on proper centrosomal function.Conclusions: Centrosomin is an essential core component of early embryonic centrosomes in Drosophila. Microtubule-dependent events of early embryogenesis display differential requirements for centrosomal function.

Centrioles Regulate Centrosome Size by Controlling the Rate of Cnn Incorporation into the PCM
Current Biology, Volume 20, Issue 24, 21 December 2010, Pages 2178-2186
Paul T. Conduit, Kathrin Brunk, Jeroen Dobbelaere, Carly I. Dix, Eliana P. Lucas and Jordan W. Raff
Centrosomes are major microtubule organizing centers in animal cells, and they comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by an amorphous pericentriolar material (PCM). Centrosome size is tightly regulated during the cell cycle, and it has recently been shown that the two centrosomes in certain stem cells are often asymmetric in size. There is compelling evidence that centrioles influence centrosome size, but how centrosome size is set remains mysterious.
We show that the conserved Drosophila PCM protein Cnn exhibits an unusual dynamic behavior, because Cnn molecules only incorporate into the PCM closest to the centrioles and then spread outward through the rest of the PCM. Cnn incorporation into the PCM is driven by an interaction with the conserved centriolar proteins Asl (Cep152 in humans) and DSpd-2 (Cep192 in humans). The rate of Cnn incorporation into the PCM is tightly regulated during the cell cycle, and this rate influences the amount of Cnn in the PCM, which in turn is an important determinant of overall centrosome size. Intriguingly, daughter centrioles in syncytial embryos only start to incorporate Cnn as they disengage from their mothers; this generates a centrosome size asymmetry, with mother centrioles always initially organizing more Cnn than their daughters.
Centrioles can control the amount of PCM they organize by regulating the rate of Cnn incorporation into the PCM. This mechanism can explain how centrosome size is regulated during the cell cycle and also allows mother and daughter centrioles to set centrosome size independently of one another.

Centrocortin Cooperates with Centrosomin to Organize Drosophila Embryonic Cleavage Furrows
Current Biology, Volume 19, Issue 11, 9 June 2009, Pages 937-942
Ling-Rong Kao and Timothy L. Megraw
SummaryIn the Drosophila early embryo, the centrosome coordinates assembly of cleavage furrows [1,2,3]. Currently, the molecular pathway that links the centrosome and the cortical microfilaments is unknown. In centrosomin (cnn) mutants, in which the centriole forms but the centrosome pericentriolar material (PCM) fails to assemble [4,5], actin microfilaments are not organized into furrows at the syncytial cortex [6]. Although CNN is required for centrosome assembly and function [4,6,7], little is known of its molecular activities. Here, we show the novel protein Centrocortin (CEN), which associates with centrosomes and also with cleavage furrows in early embryos, is required for cleavage furrow assembly. CEN binds to CNN within CNN Motif 2 (CM2), a conserved 60 amino acid domain at CNN's C terminus. The cnnB4 allele, which contains a missense mutation at a highly conserved residue within CM2, blocks the binding of CEN and disrupts cleavage furrow assembly. Together, these findings show that the C terminus of CNN coordinates cleavage furrow formation through binding to CEN, thereby providing a molecular link between the centrosome and cleavage furrow assembly.

- Recent results challenge long-held assumptions that centrosomes are essential organizers of mitotic spindles, but suggest that they couple spindle behavior with developmental and cellular events, perhaps by nucleating astral microtubules which mediate interactions with other cytoskeletal components.

DASH Store Los Angeles
The LA DASH store located outside of Los Angeles is the premier DASH boutique by Kim Kardashian and her siblings. It's located on Park Granada in Calabasas, California. The city itself is located not too far from Los Angeles, and the DASH store is easily a half-day trip away for anyone visiting visiting the sprawling city of angels known as LA. The only problem is you can't look at it in terms of just miles. Sure it's only about fifteen or twenty miles away from the city, but with the traffic on the 405, 101, 170 or I-5 that fifteen miles can take easily up to one or two hours.
DASH LA Address
4774 Park Granada – Suite #5 – Calabasas, California – 91302
Driving Directions
If you're coming from downtown LA, you have two options to reach the store. First, you can take the 101 North pretty much the entire way, and after about 27 miles you'll take Exit #30 to Parkway Calabasas. Once you exit, turn left on Ventura, then left on Parkway Calabasas, and finally a left on Park Granada. The store will be on your right in a shopping center mixed with other retailers and restaurants.
If you're coming from South LA or the Westside (Santa Monica, Culver City etc), go North on the 405 until you hit the 101, also known as the Ventura Highway, and go west on the 101 until you hit the city of Calabasas. If you see signs for Ventura you've gone too far, and the store's city isn't exactly a metropolis, so keep your eyes peeled for the proper exit.
DASH LA Hours
When DASH store LA first opened, it served its customers six days a week – taking Sunday off to likely rest and restock for the coming week. Now, however, we hear that the store is open on Sundays to provide adequate service during the summer fashion season.
You can visit the LA DASH during these hours:
Monday – Friday: Eleven AM to Six PM
Saturday – Eleven AM to Five PM
DASH LA Phone Number
Wondering what the store has in stock? Want to know if it's worth it to drive to Calabasas to see what's in the store? Simply pick up the phone and call the following number to contact the boutique: 818-222-4122.
Keep in mind that while the girls working behind the counter are called DASH Dolls, there is a 99.9999% chance you will not talk to a Kardashian on the phone. There is also a 99.999% chance that you will not see one of them in the store itself, either. Kim and her sisters are usually too busy running their fashion and entertainment empire to spend too much time in the boutiques. However, on the the off chance that you catch them during a filming session for Keeping up with the Kardashians (or any of their other television shows and specials), the store limits the number of guests inside the building to a paltry fifteen. This is to help calm the situation within the store, and to prevent "mobs" of people rushing Kim, Kourtney or their sister Khloe.
DASH Los Angeles Clothing Inspiration
D-A-S-H LA has DASH clothing where shopping is limited to the Los Angeles store, as well as clothes that you can buy at all three locations. There are certain outfits that Kim Kardashian wears, ones that are in her personal wardrobe and ones that she likes to strut and show off on her days out shopping with her sisters, that you can see, shop and buy at the DASH store in Los Angeles.
Clothes that they sell at DASH Los Angeles
The store started off selling your basic assortment of shirts, bottoms, and other accent pieces such as handbags, belts or even shoes sometimes. Of course now that Kim Kardashian has an endorsement deal with ShoeDazzle I'm sure she's not likely to be giving her own endorser competition from her first store. The Los Angeles DASH store location is fairly small – just a few hundred square feet – so finding your way around the shop is not difficult.
It's also easy to find the best clothes to fit your style in a store that's so small and navigable. No matter what your body shape and financial budget, the Kardashians try to take everyone into account when they stock their boutiques. Now I will admit that if you're a large individual you might have a hard time finding the most flattering pieces for your drawers. The clothes are slightly geared toward the more fit, albeit shapely female silhouettes. Just don't go into this Calabasas store expecting a whole lot of help or assistance from the people that call themselves employees. Widespread online and first-hand rumors indicate that customer service at the Calabasas LA DASH is less than ideal. Of course online reviews for all the boutiques aren't necessarily that great, with none of them scoring above a 60% on overall reviews. so we can't get our hopes up about great service at any location.
DASH Store History and Background
Why are the Kardashians famous? This question is muttered just about everywhere you go in Hollywood, New York, or just about anywhere in between. One of the reasons is because, whether you like it or not, the Kardashian sisters (including Kim, Kourtney and Khloe) have notable and ever-expanding power in the realm of influencing fashion trends and ideas. If they say that turtlenecks with zippers on the left hand side are "in," than other boutiques in and around NYC, Miami and Calabasas will likely soon follow.
Brands at DASH Los Angeles
There are so many labels being sold at D-A-S-H right now it's pretty ridiculous. There's simply no way to keep track of all the different tags and nicknames that have strolled in through the UPC database. People that you've heard of are on the rack, for sure, but for the most part, I'd say that the clothing at the DASH Los Angeles store is supplied by much smaller, and most likely more local and interestingly crafted, artisans and clothiers.
DASH Store Los Angeles Holidays
What a cute layout of DASH clothing at the LA store! This picture captures many DASH shirts with things powerful that call the wearer a rebel, say they're outrageous, and there are also a whole bunch of shirts in the color of the American flag. Those color themes are used extensively, as well as words that have a patriotic theme to them such as "America." These are particularly fitting for the outlook of the west coast. Laid back and care free, while still being grateful for the freedom that affords such a luxury.
I especially love the hilarious bag in this picture, where a picture of another satchel is actually the decoration on the bag itself. There's something that looks like a glass bowl filled with possibly nail polish, or something that looks to be the size of a small makeup container. Does Kim Kardashian have her own makeup line at Los Angeles DASH stores, perhaps?
DASH LA Purses
What could be better than a cute and good looking purse? How about a cute purse printed on another purse? That's exactly what the people over at Thursday Friday bring to Los Angeles DASH. It doesn't look like they really have a lot of designs, but they do have a fair number of colors. I see two different purses printed on canvas totes, but I see at least five colors for one of those designs.
The prices for these bags range from $30 to $65, with only those two prices being an option. Colors include names like charcoal and cognac, so they're going for a slightly nicer level than using colors like bumble-blue or something like that.
I like the two pictures they chose to use on the facades of the products, but I do wish they offered a better variety than just two options of illustration. One looks like a Coach-sque bag, with a brown-leather thing going on, fold-over flap and large buckle on the front. The other one has no folding flap, and has a more colorful design, including red, blue and yellow squares. I really wish there was more of a selection in terms of models and prints, but overall I think the concept and execution is well done.

With the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) having recently unveiled as many as 1,930 applications for new generic top level domains (gTLDs), experts have expressed the opinion that some of the new gTLDs will fail as businesses.
According to long-time observers of ICANN, some of the new gTLDs will develop into successful businesses, while several others will not. In their opinion, the business plans of some of the applicants will probably be questionable, as will be their technical skill pertaining to the operation of a new gTLD.
Erin Hennessy, a partner in the technology group at the Bracewell and Giuliani law firm, feels that a number of new gTLDs - like .pharmacy, for instance, which could help counter fake drug sales online - will apparently have some advantages; several others seemingly would not have obvious business models.
Noting that there are millions of secondary-level domains - nearly 2.2 million secondary-level domains on .biz and 6.5 million on .info -, Hennessy said that some of the mid-2001 launched .biz and .info domains "have never caught on."
With the ICANN set to commence the application evaluation process, from July 12 onwards, Richard Stockton - a lawyer with intellectual property law firm Banner and Witcoff - said that the application process "almost seemed like a gold rush"; and added: "There's going to be some [gTLDs] that perform and some that just don't."

West Coast assistant coach Justin Longmuir says wet conditions will favour Eagles against Magpies
- Herald Sun
- June 22, 2012
Wet conditions in Perth have gifted West Coast the perfect preparation to face Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday.
Eagles assistant coach Justin Longmuir believes it will give them the edge to try to snap a losing sequence against the Magpies at the MCG that dates back to 1995.
"I think it will play into our hands. We've had wet conditions in Perth for two weeks and we played Carlton in wet conditions last week and did really well," Longmuir said on Friday.
"I think naturally in wet weather, you train up your skills. Obviously, through ball-handling and the options you take with your kicking.
"There's going to be more numbers around the footy, more stoppages and it becomes more of a field position game."
Watch the Eagles take on the Pies LIVE on FOX FOOTY from 4.30pm (EST) on Saturday.
West Coast players had a light workout with the balls on a soggy Junction Oval on Thursday and Longmuir predictably played down the long losing streak against Collingwood and the significance of another defeat.
"Teams change. Their record over us in Melbourne hasn't even been brought up among the players. A lot of those players aren't here now, so it's really year on year. History really doesn't mean a lot," he said.
"It (result) doesn't necessarily make it more significant in terms of ladder positions. It's just a good opportunity to play a really in-form side and see where you're at pretty much the midway part of the year.
"Whatever the result, it will give us things to work on going forward."

Mmmm . . Not sure about the wet being an extra help. But an extra game of experience at the "G" will be of real benefit. Half of the squad playing in the first final last year had never played there. But those two finals last year plus this game will help. Even better, the Eagles get the final round match against Hawthorn at the "G" to help with fine tuning. Put simply, a competitive match on the G at this stage of the year, will send GF hopes soaring.
Parko of Queanbeyan says June 22, 2012 at 6:47 PM
No, Collingwood will put you back into your little corner that is Perth. Saturday will prove that West Coast can't win anything substantial without all the umpires giving them a leg up in the soft free kick and soft 50m penalty count. You can't win a premiership in Perth, so you will never win another premiership so long as you keep acting like duckers sucking up to umpires for cheap wins.
Parko of Queanbeyan says June 22, 2012 at 6:52 PM
SEVENTEEN years ago!!?!?!? The year Carlton won THEIR ONLY AFL flag - jeez, when you put it in that perspective West Coast really are crap! BAAHAAAAAA! Go Port!
Rossko of Perth says June 22, 2012 at 7:01 PM
The best part about this game is that we(The Eagles) should get a true indication of how we are travelling, win or lose. The Pies have looked very good recently and if anything we've just been doing the job. It has been a great year as far as an even playing field goes. To date, not one team has really stood out! Unlike the previous 5 or 6 years, 1 of 8 teams can win it this season, perhaps more! Great stuff! Go the Eagles
Duck of West Coast says June 22, 2012 at 7:30 PM
You might say he thinks they'll adapt to the wet conditions like a duck to water.
Parko of a troubled family. says June 22, 2012 at 7:49 PM
How many flags have Port won? Now that's crap. Can't wait till you stop supporting Port and they go broke cause they lost their only membership. Then ya can stop posting negative comments on everyone elses team!!
guy of Perth says June 22, 2012 at 10:00 PM
I'll be happy if it's a close game, can't see us beating collingwood over there. Funny how now that it's a WA team travelling and a Vic team playing at home after the bye there's no complaining about an unfair schedule.
Parko of Queanbeyan says June 22, 2012 at 10:23 PM
@Parko of a troubled - well, you'd be waiting for 37,000 other Port supporters to stop suupporting THE MOST SUCCESFUL CLUB in the country.
Parko of Cannington of perth says June 23, 2012 at 12:08 AM
Porko of Queanbeyan 17 yrs since we beat collingwood at the MCG who cares 5 grand finals 3 premiership since we joined the AFL and you call us crap. How many have port won. Also you loosers when first to the ball you usually win the free kick.17 other teams who cant tackle. wonder why we are on top

Parko of a troubled family Hey he Posts negative comments about Port.. When they lose wants Primus sacked blames recruiters, blames the draw I JUST LAUGH at him Can not even read and be aware Carlon is down as 16 Flags in the AFL is to silly to realize AFL IS AN EXPANSION OF Original VFL and as a former Hawks "supporter" wishes to wipe out their great era.. Same type of person had it been Victorian clubs join an expanding SANFL would be here bragging Like your point though Power have won 1 flag since joining and have such low memberships they count seagulls as part of the crowd about Port havign won most PREMIERSHIPS in the SANFL/AFL comp. And he would be 100% CORRECT because it would be an expanded SANFL ( but it isnt) pORT JOINED INTO AN EXPANDED VFL that rebadged AFL and runs reserves teams in the NEW VFL that was VFA..
Ben of Hobart says June 23, 2012 at 9:55 AM
Not sure how much the wet weather will help West Coast, usually wet weather favours the smaller team and West Coasts power is their talls. If they can't catch the slippery ball, collingwoods crumbing and man on man pressure at ground level will probably give them the advantage.
Paul of Australia says June 23, 2012 at 10:32 AM
The west coast eagles play footy on grass that grows like carpet and in milder conditions. The pies are conditioned to the wet from seasons of muddy grounds in colder Melbourne. Can't see how it benefits the Eagles whatsoever.Just a bit of banter knowing it will be harder.
Parko of Queanbeyan says June 23, 2012 at 12:14 PM
Collingwood are awful, West Coast are worse. I reckon there will be little chance of either side kicking a goal.
Rossko of Perth says June 23, 2012 at 5:53 PM
You're a gem Parko! Made me smile! Say it how you see it! Go the Eagles

SOA W4D7 Recipe
It's the final day of recipe week! And this beauty is one that I will share with you over and over again.
Over a year ago I experimented with making homemade ravioli. I had a full weekend to myself when I was still away at college and just wanted to attempt to make my own ravioli that didn't have any additives or preservatives and was healthier than store bought ravioli.
And earlier this year I posted the recipe with step by step instructions, nutritional breakdown, and beautiful pictures from my kitchen.
Here are a few things to note: IT IS TIME CONSUMING. You need a relatively good amount of space to work with (my parents' kitchen is small so I had the main table and 2 side tables to work with because there are no real counters). When you are done, automatically put some aside to be consumed at a later date because sometimes things just taste better as leftovers.
Here's my original post for Spinach Ravioli, but any stuffing can be used for it I think.

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard felt the love in Launceston yesterday.
In her first public appearance since the controversial comments about her late father by Broadcaster Alan Jones, Ms Gillard refused to add to the furore.
But inside the Launceston College Gym, at yesterday evening's Community Cabinet question and answer session, an emotional bombshell was lobbed at her by Scottish immigrant Syd Edwards.
"I've written a letter. I would like to give this to you. Take it back to your family," he said.
"I dedicate this letter to your father, John Gillard a Welsh coal miner, a loving father a much-loved father and husband and I dedicate it in the name of everything that's good and pure and true and decent and a man of whom Australia for many years will be well proud."
In his letter, Mr Edwards had written "John Gillard spoke of his love and pride of his daughter, he would have died knowing that she, Australia's first female Prime Minister is, and as history will show, the most villified (by far) Prime Minister in Australian political history."
The questions fielded by Ms Gillard, flanked by 19 of her cabinet ministers, were polite, without heat and mostly drew standard politicians' answers.
Pro-forestry campaigner Michael Hirst told Ms Gillard that, given that Tasmania's economic wellbeing was still dependant on forestry, it made zero sense to lock up more forests as part of an intergovernmental agreement.
"Your debate is not with us [federal government]," she said.
"Our role is not to impose any solution on the state of Tasmania. If they (the forest industry and conservationists) can come to an agreement ... we will provide $120 million to continue the state's economic diversification."
Ms Gillard said she was "a long term optimist" for the Tasmanian economy.
"Sources of strength include forestry, agriculture, tourism, manufacturing and a range of innovative industries that we can't quite imagine now," she said.
Ms Gillard said the expectation that "within our lifetime more middleclass people will live in Asia than anywhere else" should underpin Tasmania's economic strength.
She said middle-class Asians would all want the food, wine, tourism and education experiences which Australians enjoyed.
"Tasmania will be the place to meet those needs," she said.
Sierra Leone migrant Sahr Andrews, who arrived in Tasmania with his wife four years ago as United Nations sponsored legal emigrants, told Ms Gillard how he had to leave two of his children behind in a refugee camp.
"What is the government doing ... to help bring family members left back in refugee camps?" Mr Andrews asked.
Ms Gillard said "We have extended the number of places we are going to take from refugee camps. We have done some things to rebalance the way in which family members can come here. We were worried that there was some ways in which it wasn't working for people like you."
She said a staff member would follow up with Mr Andrews.
Ms Gillard spent the morning touring the Launceston General Hospital with Premier Lara Giddings, officially opening the site's new integrated care centre.

Saturday, runners from all over the world will race from Crescent Beach to Fort Williams (home of the beacon of the race's title -- the Portland Head Light). A fresh Start Line was painted onto the pavement on Route 77 earlier this week.
A field of 6,000 is expected to line up bright and early for this year's TD Beach to Beacon 10K . As always, the Wheelchair Division will lead the way at 7:55am. The elite runners take off at 8:05, followed by everyone else.
This year, race founder and Olympic gold medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson will be among the pack. Race organizers say she will go along at "a leisurely pace". She will be joined by fellow marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter, legendary marathoner Bill Rodgers, and LL Bean Chairman Leon Gorman.
NEWS CENTER'S live coverage of the race begins with the Morning Report. Meteorologist Keith Carson will be assessing race day conditions at the Finish Line, where he will broadcast live. He says runners should be prepared for warm and humid conditions.
Viewers can watch all runners cross the Finish Line at WCSH's digital channel (6.2 or Time Warner channel 166). That live camera will also be streamed on WCSH6.com, along with a live view of the midpoint of the race (from the corner of Route 77 and Shore Road).
Once the race results have been released, you can find a complete searchable database of results on WCSH6.com as well.

Prepare Your Pet for a Holiday Photo Shoot
Local photographer Robin Burkett offers tips for taking a great photo of your pet.
With Christmas around the corner, it's time to start thinking about purchasing gifts and decorations. An easy way to get away with staging some last-minute Christmas cheer is to snap some festive photos of your pets for guests to enjoy. Starting Dec. 1, PetSmart in Springfield will offer its Santa Claws photo event. Five dollars from each purchase will go towards local animal welfare organizations. If you want to try taking your own photos, Robin Burkett from Paw Prints Photography shared her tips for getting Fluffy or Fido to cooperate for their moment in the spotlight: 1.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise Screenshots
July 2008
Title: "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise"
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Developer: Rare Ltd.
Format: DVD for the Xbox 360 video game system
ESRB Rating: Rating pending (all ages)
Availability: September 2, 2008 (North America, Latin America)
September 5, 2008 (Europe)
September 11, 2008 (Japan)
Product Overview: The original Rare Ltd. team behind "Viva Piñata" has reunited to bring gamers "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise," the newest piñata adventure that invites gamers to return to magical Piñata Island. Unfortunately, not all is well on the island, as Professor Pester along with his gang of Ruffians have wiped out Piñata Central's computer records, which poses a threat to parties everywhere. To help Piñata Central, players must gradually rebuild the computer database by sending piñatas at full candiosity to parties all around the world. While thwarting Professor Pester's evil plot, players still build and maintain piñata gardens — using their creativity and imagination to attract, trap, protect, train and manage more than 100 different piñata species. With hundreds of customizable features, your garden will be unique as you attract piñatas or choose to capture exotic species from other lands including the Dessert Desert or Piñarctic.
Available exclusively on Xbox 360, "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" reinvigorates a colorful and engaging gaming experience on the Xbox 360 platform. Letting two players play together and support for up to 4 players to work collaboratively on a garden over Xbox LIVE, "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" provides hours of fun for gamers of all ages, fans of the animated series and animal lovers alike.
Top game features include the following:
• Social. The "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" community is a rewarding place to be, whether you remain within the boundaries of your own world or venture out into a friend's garden via Xbox LIVE.*
o Online interaction. Via Xbox LIVE, up to four players can team up and experience the joys of Piñata Island together, or you can contact other gamers to trade items as well as piñatas. Invite your friends to your garden to compete against them in races, golf and other events — winners will receive coveted placement on the Piñata Leaderboards.*
o Offline interaction. Invite a family member or friend to experience Piñata Island by simply plugging in an extra controller. As your friend helps you with your garden, they will attain magical powers that can be used to nurse a sick piñata creature back to health or help speed a piñata to maximum candiosity. It's a whole new way to play.
• Customizable. "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" allows players' imaginations to run wild by providing them with expansive freedom and choice.
o Your garden. Not only can you travel to exciting new regions and explore their unique wildlife, but "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" also offers a vast level of customization within your garden. Now, along with planting grass, trees and flowers, and digging ponds and lakes, players can place sand and snow in their garden to make exotic species of piñata feel right at home. Players also can choose to enhance their garden with themed object packs — make your garden into a space center, a pirate cove or a haunted graveyard. Buy objects to change the weather, or new toys for your piñata to play with. You have total freedom to create any kind of paradise you want!
o Your piñatas. Thirty-two new species of piñata can run, crawl, fly and swim into your garden in "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise." Large, small, fierce and cute, the new piñatas will join all your favorites for thriving activity throughout your garden. Among these new species are sour piñatas that will infiltrate and wreak havoc in the garden. In "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise," players can choose to either tame sours, or feed them candy to keep them sweet.
o Piñata Vision. A never-before-seen feature called Piñata Vision allows players to plug in an Xbox LIVE Vision Camera to create custom piñata cards that they can collect and trade with friends. With Piñata Vision, gamers can simply flash a piñata card up to the Vision camera, and the piñata, plant, tree, object or accessory will drop directly into the game.
• Accessible. "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" reinvigorates the franchise with additional game modes and features that make it even more accessible to players of all ages and skill levels.
o Just for Fun Mode. Designed for kids and first time visitors to Piñata Island, this mode allows players to jump into a garden and interact with the inhabitants of this unique piñata world. With the level of difficulty turned down, sour piñatas stay away, resident piñatas remain healthy, weeds don't plague your garden and you have an infinite chocolate coin bank account, allowing you to turn your garden into a veritable utopia of colorful creatures, garden ornaments and unique play areas such as the retro 70's lighted disco floor.
o Standard Mode. Presenting a challenge for experienced piñata gardeners and dedicated gamers, the Standard gameplay mode provides a more challenging option, where players must keep a watchful eye on their garden. Sour piñatas, feuding species, weeds, illness and limited money call for you to exercise problem solving and creativity to build and maintain an environment where piñatas can flourish and grow.
o Player Guide System. Replacing the traditional tutorial, the optional Player Guide System directs players through a series of loose goals to help them master the fundamental aspects of creating a garden in "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise."
o Show Off. Using the new photo mode in "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise," you can snap pictures of your unique garden or customized piñatas and show them to your friends and other players over Xbox LIVE and online. You also can photograph your piñata and turn it into a piñata card, which your friends can print and show to their Xbox LIVE Vision Camera to put it into their garden.*
o Piñata and character interaction. All your residents are now capable of performing dazzling tricks, which you can teach them using the new trick stick tool. Watch as piñatas play together, perch on each other and interact in cool new ways.
• Spontaneous. "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" is a constantly changing world where anything can and does happen. Rivalries, injuries, illness and fights — if you turn your back, who knows what your piñatas will do?
o It's happening outside. Pester knows where your garden is, and he's got a few nasty tricks up his sleeve to make piñata life difficult. Foil his plans by sending your piñata around the world to save parties everywhere. Also, you must deal with new, untamed sour piñatas with bad attitudes and more troublesome Ruffians who will try to spoil your creation.
o It's happening inside. Pester will try to block piñatas from ever reaching your garden, but you can break the blockades and teach him who is in charge on Piñata Island. However, don't underestimate Pester — he's likely to make some personal appearances to attempt to put you in your place.

By adulthood, most of us have become experts in human behavior, able to make sense of the myriad behaviors we find in environments ranging from the family home to the local mall and beyond. In philosophy of mind, our understanding of others has been largely explained in terms of knowing others' beliefs and desires; describing others' behavior in these terms is the core of what is known as folk psychology.
Birdsong may seem to us to be the purest expression of joy, but in fact when a male bird bursts into melodious song, he is warning off other males and advertising his availability to females. He may also engage in spectacular displays of plumage, dance-like movements, or even acrobatics (tree-based or aerial)--all as part of courtship. The female, meanwhile, assesses his vocalization, plumage, and territory before accepting him as a mate.
The work performed by living systems ranges from photosynthesis to prodigious feats of computation and organization. This multidisciplinary volume explores work across many different levels of organization. By addressing how work gets done, and why, from the perspectives of research in a range of disciplines, including cellular and evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology, electrical and computer engineering, and design, the volume sets out to establish an integrative perspective on understanding work in living systems, including humans.
Bees, birds, bats, fish, and dolphins possess senses that lie far beyond the realm of human experience. In this book Howard C. Hughes tells the story of these "exotic" senses. He tells not only what has been discovered but how it was discovered—including historical misinterpretations of animal perception that we now view with amusement.
This book celebrates and provides a useful and highly readable introduction to Africa's magnificent avian diversity. Neither a field guide nor a biological text, it presents an overview of African birds and describes and depicts the lives and habits of almost 2,400 species.

Here's one of my mom's famous appetizer. They are simple to make, but the creaminess of the cream cheese mixed with the crisp asparagus and salty prosciutto makes the perfect appetizer. They are always a hit and are often a "go to" for me when it comes to parties. We made them at the baby shower I recently hosted.
Asparagus with Proscuitto and Cream Cheese
Soft Cream Cheese
* Amounts are not given because you can make as many as you need. I buy the proscuitto and asparagus from Costco and use all the proscuitto in the package.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the proscuitto. Roll this around the asparagus. Bake for 20 minutes at 350.
