This invention relates in general to the field of electronics packaging, and in particular to microwave circuitry packaging to meet stringent microwave signal isolation requirements.
Microstrip circuit boards are typically used to provide signal paths at microwave frequencies. Enclosures with no gaps or very small gaps are required to provide isolation between microwave signals in nearby portions of microwave circuits. The smaller the gap size in the microwave circuit enclosure, the higher the microwave signal isolation. Low frequencies, on the order of 100 MegaHertz (MHz), are relatively easy to isolate. High frequency microwave signals for which a high isolation packaging technology is especially desirable can be on the order of 10-20 GigaHertz (GHz).
A traditional approach to provide the necessary microwave signal isolation microwave circuitry is to end mill isolated channels into a relatively thick metallic plate as a base, and then to install microwave components, microstrip circuitry, and the associated electrical interconnections in the desired circuit configuration before fitting a cover onto the package. This approach totally encloses the microstrip circuitry in each covered channel, but leaves wall edges of the milled channels which typically need to be fitted with gaskets to fill gaps where the channels meet the cover of the enclosure. This covered channel approach has several shortcomings, including:
a) separate microstrip segments need to be individually trimmed, positioned, and bonded, which is labor-intensive, and, therefore, an expensive, time-consuming process;
b) quality of the installation is hard to ensure based on the poor access to many areas within the channels, yet the individual trimming, positioning, and bonding provide a high possibility of error; a significant amount of rework can be required for the traditional microstrip enclosures.
c) gaskets for the wall edges take a significant amount of time to install, and can be pinched during assembly of the microstrip enclosure; a pinched gasket can leave a gap in the enclosure and fail to provide isolation for the adjacent microstrip circuitry;
d) milled channels provide poor access to many areas within the channels for assembly operations including wirebonding, soldering, and parallel-gap welding; the installation of components and assembly of the package is thereby slowed, increasing costs;
Thus, what is needed is a method for providing high isolation of microwave signals on microstrip circuitry while decreasing assembly time and difficulty, and increasing microwave signal isolation in a low-cost package.
Accordingly, it is an advantage of the present invention to provide a low-cost method for providing a technology to provide high isolation of microwave signals on microstrip circuitry. It is also an advantage to reduce assembly time and difficulty of the microwave circuit isolation package. Finally, it is an advantage of the invention to increase the isolation capability of the microwave circuit packaging by providing for gap-free enclosure of microstrip circuitry.
To achieve these advantages, a microwave circuit high isolation packaging technology is contemplated which involves fabricating a single-piece baseplate containing the microwave circuits, fabricating a single-piece framework, where the framework comprises isolation walls, transoms, or other structures capable of isolating individual portions of the microwave circuit when mated with the baseplate, and assembling the baseplate and the framework to provide microwave signal isolation by eliminating the gaps between the baseplate and framework.
The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In FIG. 1, there is shown a cross-sectional diagram of a microwave circuit high isolation package in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the high isolation package after masking of the microwave circuitry and machining away unmasked laminate or baseplate.
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the high isolation package in the direction and below the plane indicated by line 3--3 in FIG. 1. Note that FIG. 1 is the cross-sectional view of the high isolation package at the location and in the direction indicated by line 1--1 in FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 is an enlargement of area 19 of FIG. 1, showing additional detail in the region of isolation wall and baseplate interconnection of the high isolation package.
In FIG. 1, there is shown a cross-section of a microwave circuit high isolation package 10 comprising a baseplate 11 of material to which a lamination of a dielectric substrate 24 has been added. The layer of dielectric substrate 24 can be composite powder pressed under heat to create a monolithic layer approximately twenty-five thousandths of an inch (0.025 in.) thick. The composite powder can be a powder sold under the trademark TEFLON. Pressed on the surface of the dielectric substrate 24 opposite the baseplate 11, can be a layer of conductive material 18. The conductive material can be copper of a thickness appropriate to serve as a microstrip conductor for microwave signals of the desired frequency. The two layers on the baseplate comprise circuit board material from which the microwave microstrip circuit will be made. Mated to the baseplate structure 11 is a framework structure 12, comprised of framework edges 17, transoms 16, and isolation wall 14. The isolation wall 14 fits within baseplate channel 21. All the gaps at which the framework 12 and baseplate 11 meet are filled with solder 20.
The microstrip circuit board material referred to above that is pre-laminated to a structural baseplate is commercially available. An example is an aluminum baseplate 11 to which a composite layer 24 can be laminated, over which can be laminated a layer of copper 18. Such a material is available from Rogers Corporation Chandler, Arizona, as RT duroid 58XX, 60XX, or TMMXX, for instance. Selection of specific printed circuit board material is based on desired electrical properties and application. The thickness of the aluminum portion of the baseplate 11 is a structural consideration, based on the desired structural properties of the final package 10.
As shown in FIG. 2, circuitry pattern 13 for an entire microwave circuit module can be achieved through a number of additive or subtractive photo processes; for example, the circuit can be etched directly onto the copper surface 18. Following circuit fabrication, the copper 18 comprising the pattern of the desired microwave circuitry can be protected from subsequent handling and subsequent plating operations by the use of, for example, a liquid, air-curing masking 15. Selected portions 25 of the circuit board material and/or the baseplate 11 can then be removed as desired, e.g. by machining, to expose the ground plane (aluminum lamination, i.e. the baseplate, 11) for component mounting, and/or to create wall channels, e.g. 21, for attachment of isolation wall 14, and/or to create mounting planes, e.g. 25, for other module construction. The exposed metal, e.g. 21 and 25, can then be plated for solderability (for example, with electroless nickel, copper, and 95-5tin-lead) before the masking 15 is removed.
After the masking 15 is removed, the most prominent surface of the module contains the desired microwave circuitry, comprised of unremoved copper 18. The copper circuit 18 is readily accessible, since it is not located in an isolation channel, and is free of impediments to mounting components or making interconnections. Since the isolation structures in FIGS. 3-4, such as isolation 14 and wall transom 16, are all integral parts of the framework 12 to be added to the baseplate 11 structure after any additional circuit work is performed, there are no isolation structures with which to contend in working with the circuit 18.
Since the circuit 18 is fabricated in one piece, the costly steps of documenting, procuring, inspecting, trimming, and bonding a large number of separate microstrip segments can be eliminated. All positioning and tolerancing of the microwave circuit 18 can be performed at the artwork level, significantly increasing the likelihood of producing a properly functioning circuit and lessening the likelihood of the need for rework. This approach also provides the capability to produce complicated microwave circuits, since positioning and tolerancing of individual components becomes overly tedious and burdensome for even modestly-complex microwave circuits. Microstrip filters and couplers can be designed as an integral part of the module circuit board artwork 13, reducing the number of interconnects for the circuit 18 needed to be added later.
As shown in FIG. 3, a one-piece framework 12 comprises. isolation walls 14 and transom 16. The one-piece framework 12 can be designed to mate with the baseplate 11 to enclose each section of microwave circuitry 18 desired to be isolated. Critical to this design is the use of the transom 16, which is integral with the framework 12. The transom 16. structurally connects neighboring isolation structures such as isolation wall 14 and framework edge 17 by spanning the microwave signal path 18 without significantly interacting with the microwave electromagnetic transmission field. The use of the transom 16 permits the one-piece fabrication of the isolation wall framework 12, enhancing accurate alignment with the structural baseplate 11 with which the transom 16 mates. Use of the transom 16 also permits the design of the isolalation wall framework 12 as a structural element, which can be tailored to evenly distribute mechanical stresses in the microwave circuit high isolation package 10 as required. After fabrication, exposed metal on the framework 12 can be plated for solderability (for example, with electroless nickel, copper, and 95-5 tin-lead) before assembly with the baseplate structure.
Before assembly of the baseplate 11 structure to the framework 12, additional components, e.g., hybrid devices, chip components, unpackaged semiconductor die, etc. can be placed on the baseplate 11 and necessary interconnections made. Components mountable with solder can be placed at this point using, for example, solder paste or preform 20. Similarly, solder paste or preform 20 can be applied to the isolation wall 14 mounting site. The framework 12 can then be mechanically assembled to the baseplate 11.
FIG. 4 shows the detail 19 shown in FIG. 1 of the framework wall 14 with plating 26 attached with solder 20 to the channel 21 of baseplate 11 which has also been plated with plating 26. The one-piece isolation wall 14 structure of the framework 12 is amenable to self-fixtured soldering designed to follow mechanical assembly of the baseplate 11 structure to the framework 12. The use of solder 20 instead of a gasket to fill the gap between the baseplate 11 structure and the framework 12 structure creates superior microwave isolation between adjacent microwave signal paths 18, particularly where electromagnetic fields are strong. Soldering application can be by silkscreen, paste, solder ribbon, or other methods. The solder paste, preform, etc. 20 can be reflowed by machine soldering methods such as 215 degree Celsius vapor phase soldering with the high isolation package in place. Following baseplate 11 structure soldering to the framework 12, additional components, e.g., hybrid devices, chip components, unpackaged semiconductor die, etc., can be installed as required.
A high isolation packaging technology has been described which overcomes specific problems and accomplishes certain advantages relative to prior art mechanisms. The failure of a gasket to provide a gapless enclosure because of pinching during assembly is precluded because the high isolation packaging technology does not employ gaskets. Access to the microwave circuit for assembly operations, including wirebonding, soldering and parallel-gap welding is far better than for covered milled channel designs because of the prominence of the circuit compared to the surrounding surfaces. The individual trimming, positioning, and bonding required for completing the microwave circuit traditionally is reduced by printing the circuitry artwork in one step. The one-step printing of the circuitry is also advantageous for complex microwave circuits which cannot easily be assembled by hand. The printing, masking, and machining method additionally enables the achievement of better position tolerances and the printing of microwave couplers and filters as an integral portion of the circuit. Finally, the use of solder to form a gapless enclosure surrounding microwave signal paths provides a very high degree of microwave signal isolation of neighboring portions of microwave circuits.
Thus, there has been provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a microwave circuit high isolation packaging technology that fully satisfies the aims and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with a specific embodiment, many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, the invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.

Here is the latest Wisconsin sports from The AP
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee Bucks guard Mo Williams says his coach got it all last night. Coach Larry Krystkowiak missed the game with Toronto in order to be with his wife, Jan, who was pregnant with twins. By the time the babies were born at 7:42 p.m., the Bucks had the game under control on the way to a 112-to-85 victory at the Bradley Center. Or, as Williams put it, "He got twins and a 30-point win. What else can you ask for?"
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Milwaukee Bucks get a couple days off before they play Friday night at Houston. With two home wins, they've evened their early season record at 2-and-2. Houston has a 4-and-1 record after last night's win over San Antonio.
BOSTON (AP) -- Milwaukee Brewers fans won't be seeing Curt Schilling take the mound for their favorite team next year. The defending champion Boston Red Sox reached a deal to keep Schilling in their rotation. Milwaukee had been among the teams Schilling said he would consider as a free agent. But Schilling agreed to an $8 million contract with Boston yesterday with $3 million in potential performance bonuses.

|Really great story. Yes, the 9" cock is way overboard. Lastly, the author needs to edit his punctuation. He's 59, not 11, and his writing should reflect that.

|Thank you for a great set of stories. Very enjoyable and erotic! That Lettie is a real pill! Sure hope to hear more about her, and hopefully, this little series might go one more to include Vicki again. I am curious why the Mom has the attitude she has. I would think she would not be dismissive about young girls constantly going over to David's and Dad not checking it out a bit more thoroughly. Maybe I am just too curious! Maybe an answer forthcoming in the future....
In any case I really enjoyed your stories. Best of luck in your future submissions!

Players/Officials: Tim Bresnan
Series/Tournaments: England tour of United Arab Emirates
Teams: England
Tim Bresnan, the England pace-bowling allrounder, has been ruled out of the Test series against Pakistan after failing to recover from the elbow surgery he underwent before Christmas. The news has come as a major surprise to the England camp even though Bresnan sat out the first warm-up match.
He travelled with the squad to the UAE last week but was not able to play against a ICC Combined XI and at the end of the match the decision was taken to send him home. His absence is a significant blow for England as he is able to get the ball to reverse-swing, which is set to be a key weapon in the Test series, and also adds to the team's formidable lower-order strength.
"Bresnan tried to bowl today, having had an injection and a good rest," Andrew Strauss, the England captain, said. "I think we were all expecting him to be absolutely fine. But it's very painful - and given that, he's probably not going to be able to play for two or three weeks."
England have won the 10 Tests that Bresnan has played. Having played a key part in the Ashes series he missed the start of the last English season with a calf problem. He initially suffered the injury in the one-day series in Australia before a recurrence during a Championship match against Hampshire. He returned to the side after Chris Tremlett was injured against India. During his comeback match at Trent Bridge he hit 90 and took 5 for 48 . He went on to take nine more wickets in the series against India and score another half-century.
"I'm obviously gutted not to have an opportunity to play in the Test series," Bresnan said, "but I knew that looking at my rehabilitation programme it was always going to be touch and go to get me ready for the series. I want to wish the squad all very best and the priority for me now is to get myself ready for the one-day series in February."
Graham Onions travelled with the team to the UAE as a reserve member of the squad and has now been elevated to a permanent member. Steven Finn, who played against the ICC XI, will be the favourite to replace Bresnan in the Test line up.
Meanwhile, Graeme Swann, the England offspinner, did not field on the final morning of the match against the ICC XI after reporting some muscle soreness in his leg and will be sent for a scan, while Tremlett has been suffering from an eye infection during the early days of the tour and will visit a doctor.
Matt Prior, the Test wicketkeeper, missed the ICC XI match with a bruised finger but Strauss confirmed he will be able to play the second warm-up game on Wednesday.

Home » News » Politics » State House Dome
Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Budget numbers not easy to crunch
It will have to craft the budget without $80 million in gaming licensing fees Gov. Maggie Hassan included in her budget. The money would allow funding increases for higher education, the mental health system, developmental disabilities services and CHINS (children in need of services).
With no House-passed expanded gaming bill, budget writers could not assume the $80 million in licensing fees.
Hassan also included a 30 cent hike in the tobacco tax, which she estimates would produce about $40 million in revenue. The House may decide it can only agree to a 20 cent increase.
That is not the only problem.
The House Ways and Means Committee gave Finance revenue estimates last week that are $33 million less over two years than the governor's revenue-estimating panel proposed.
The House also thinks Hassan's proposal overstates revenue projections by $7 million for the real estate transfer tax, $4.3 million in lottery receipts and $3 million in business taxes.
On the other side, the House expects insurance premium tax revenues to be $17 million more than the governor guesses, once the Medicaid managed care system is in place.
Another big difference between the House and Hassan is the Medicaid Enhancement Tax hospitals pay.
Hospitals used to get most of the money back through the federal-state Disproportionate Share Hospital program (DSH), but now only the small critical-access hospitals receive help.
The hospitals and the state have been in a battle for the last two years over what they owe. The state believes the hospitals owe about $34 million a year more than the hospitals do.
Hassan's budget assumes the hospitals will pay their full liability, because if they do, they would receive about half their money back, but the House assumes the hospitals will pay about what they have the last two years, or $70 million annually.
Start tallying up the differences and it goes over $100 million pretty quickly and could be as high as $150 million.
While the number may be small compared with the total budget of $11 billion, it still would affect programs and services for some people.
House Finance Committee Chairman Mary Jane Wallner, D-Concord, has said her members are looking for "savings" in the budget to address the shortfall.
No one should have been surprised when the subcommittees began cutting last week in nonbinding votes. One of the targets is an additional $55 million earmarked for the University System of New Hampshire.
The $20 million in additional money for the Community College System of New Hampshire could be at risk, too.
Other likely targets are $28 million to upgrade the state's mental health system.
Budget writers will begin seriously paring back the budget in the next couple of weeks. The House is scheduled to vote on the budget April 3.
When the Senate has the budget, the Senate Finance Committee will start from a different platform because budget writers will be able to count on about $130 million in additional money. That money comes from allowing one "high-end, highly regulated casino on the southern border of the state."
Up the Ante: The Senate will vote this week on Senate Bill 152, the expanded gambling bill that has Hassan's support. The Senate is likely to have a strong vote - between 16 and 18 senators - for the bill.
That is Step 1. Step 2 - the House - is a lot more difficult.
The House has never voted for video slots or casinos and right now is poised to continue that tradition.
Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee voted to retain two other expanded gaming bills, House Bills 665 and 678, and the next day turned around and voted, 12-6, to recommend killing each bill.
Retaining the bills would not have allowed gambling "supporters" - read "lobbyists" - to take a "test vote" to see whom they need to persuade.
Sending the two bills to the floor, where they face almost certain defeat, sends a different message: "We don't like gambling, senators."
Running on Empty: While Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, the prime sponsor of House Bill 617 - the gas tax increase - said nice things about the House realizing the immediate need for fixing the state's highway system, the vote was less than it should have been to build momentum for the plan before it heads to the Senate and almost certain defeat in its present form.
Former House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, muddied up the waters with a proposed amendment that would have stopped highway funds from being used to help pay for state troopers, district courts and other things related to highway safety and use.
His proposal was soundly defeated - by a larger margin than the bill passed - but he is not going to be deterred.
O'Brien said he will present the amendment again when the House Ways and Means Committee holds a public hearing on the bill Thursday at 1 p.m. in Representatives Hall.
"Come in and tell the current Democrat members of the committee how much you want a Billion Dollar tax increase . . . or Not,'' O'Brien wrote on his Facebook page.
Intramurals: The gas tax and O'Brien's amendment created a flurry of emails among Republicans. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester, wrote to his colleagues saying the Republican leadership voted on the opposite side of the GOP majority on some key bills.
Of particular concern was House Republican Whip Shawn Jasper's, R-Hudson, rather searing comments about O'Brien's amendment to the gas tax.
After much back and forth, House Minority Leader Gene Chandler wrote an email saying the leadership backs the recommendations of the majority of Republicans.
"The truth of the matter is that in the vast majority of instances, we as leadership rely on the work and expertise of the policy committees when voting on the floor. We do this because we believe that you as individual legislators have the expertise in your given policy area due to hearing the testimony and debating the issue on its merits while in committee. In nearly every instance, members of leadership first support the leadership recommendation, or if there is no recommendation, support the majority of Republicans on the committee," Chandler wrote, then went on to say the party is ill-served by Republican-on- Republican debates, which are occurring with regularity.
Some "Tea Party Republicans" have contested bills with unanimous committee votes, meaning all the Republicans on the committee backed the committee's recommendation.
"Being in the minority is not an easy task, but if we stay together, keep our focus on the Democrats and choose our battles wisely, then we can work to take back the majority and keep New Hampshire prosperous," Chandler wrote.
Saint Patrick's Day: Former state Sen. and Manchester restaurateur Bobby Stephen will hold his annual St. Patrick's Day Party March 16 at the Executive Court Banquet Facility beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Stephen's 35th celebration, like those before, will draw politicians from governor to city ward clerk and regular folks, as well. The event benefits the Bobby Stephen Fund for Education.
Last year, Stephen said, the fund was used for 22 scholarships. It was used for 35 the year before that, and it has been used for 300 since he began the effort, in 1995.
"My wife asks me when I'm going to stop this," Stephen said, "but I get cards and notes from the kids saying, 'Thank you for helping me go to college."'

This was our first lake vacation instead of going to beach. I was so pleasantly surprised. My entire family had a great time. From the quiet neighborhood that provided a great place to walk to the gorgeous views of the water and ease to get to the water,the sweet little ducks that came to visit and all the fish we caught, we just enjoyed every minute. You truly have a very special place! Thanks once again.

A man crosses a bridge before heavy traffic and pollution, in Beijing on January 22, 2013.

Last month, Chinese officials issued a general warning to foreign embassies, (but really aimed at the U.S.) to stop publishing reports about their country's air quality.

Pollution in China is one aspect of the broader topic of environmental issues in China. Various forms of pollution have increased as China have industrialized which has caused widespread environmental and health problems. China has responded with increasing environmental regulations and a build-up of pollutant treatment infrastructure which have caused improvements on some variables.
The small level of "environmental awareness" has hindered the development of proper recycling systems in China's cities as the amount of waste increases.
Beginning on June 1, 2008, for the entire country of China, all supermarkets, department stores and shops are prohibited from giving out free plastic bags. Stores must clearly mark the price of plastic shopping bags and are banned from adding that price onto the price of products. The production, sale and use of ultra-thin plastic bags - those less than 0.025 millimeters, or 0.00098 inches, thick - are also banned. The State Council called for "a return to cloth bags and shopping baskets." This ban, however, does not include the widespread use of cardboard shopping bags at clothing stores or the use of plastic bags at restaurants for takeout food. Since the ban, ten percent fewer plastic bags have been thrown away.

Google is testing out a new Google News feature involving Twitter. For the experiment, known simply as "Friends," Google has added a section on the right column to help Google users find news articles that friends have shared on Twitter.
The Friends box tells users to "Connect your Twitter account to see when people you follow are talking about the news."
Here's Google's description:
In the open text box, enter your Twitter username and click "Save." Google News will refresh, and you will see a list of updates containing news articles shared by the people you follow. Please note that Friends only shows you articles that can be found in Google News. If someone you follow has shared an article or a link that cannot be found in Google News, then you will not see that update in the Friends section.
To change the username you wish to follow, click on "Edit." Enter the new username in the text field and click "Save changes."
And here's a screenshot via Barry Schwartz, who first reported the small experiment:
As we reported last month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced plans to begin adding "layers" of social networking features this fall, rather than unveiling a flashy product to compete with Facebook.
"We're trying to take Google's core products and add a social component," Schmidt told Reuters. "If you think about it, it's obvious. With your permission, knowing more about who your friends are, we can provide more tailored recommendations. Search quality can get better."

There area variety of ways that an orthodontist's office can market itself. From the traditional word of mouth, to utilizing many of the internet avenues that have become available over the past ten years, there are many different ways to reach the market that you are trying to connect with. Nevertheless, there are many things to consider in this pursuit and it is often necessary to make sure of all of the different avenues that you can take. Some of the important things to keep in mind is the opportunity to engage with specific sections of people to reach your end goal.
When you are thinking about the different segments of people, it is important to consider a second tier of folks. The majority of the people on which you as an orthodontist is going to be working are kids. Those are the ones that are going to be getting braces and needing that realignment. Yes, you will be working with individuals that need oral surgery and some adults that are looking to get fitted with braces, but for the most part, the people you are going to be working with directly the most are kids. As a result, in considering the second tier, you are going to be able to identify a variety of treatments that works well for you and your business.
The first kind of marketing to consider is word of mouth. This is very easy for you to do and it would just start with a flyer that you can hand out to your existing clients to let them know that if they want to bring a friend to your office (or refer a friend) they will be eligible for some money off of their next exam. It works well for both of the parties and it is a proven and effective way of cheaply getting more people to come. Another way to market your firm would be to introduce people via the internet. Many people access the internet as a way to find more information about all of the various offers and opportunities that may be available. There are a couple of ways to look at this as a way to connect with more people. One that has shown to be effective is the use of a SEO firm to garner more internet hits. Using a firm like Orthodontist Marking Gurus will help your firm get even more hits and more clients.
This has worked well for a variety of people in the past and has shown to be an excellent way to encourage more and more people to interact with your site. By utilizing Orthodontist Marketing Gurus, you will be able to revamp your website and encourage more and more people to find out information and the needs of the people that you are looking to interact and work with. It is an excellent way to encourage more and more people to seek out you and your business in today's competitive orthodontist markets and companies.

Meet Jenny Wu, a stylish fashion lawyer and full time blogger at "Good, Bad, and Fab." We're quite obsessed with this style maven, and know you will be too!
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is very eclectic and reflects the diversity of LA's neighborhoods and colorful subcultures. In just one outfit change, I can go from Venice boho to Beverly HIlls posh!
Who or where do you draw inspiration from?
I draw my inspiration from style blogs, magazines, pinterest, and the streets of LA. I grew up in LA so I can't help but be influenced by its celebrity culture and count Kate Bosworth and Nicole Richie as two of my style favs.
What trends do you have to try before the summer season ends?
I'm bummed it's August already and am in a mad rush to try out the "skort" trend and am working up the courage to rock a pair of statement making gladiators sandals.
Blogging isn't your only experience in the world of fashion. What's life like for a fashion lawyer?
Quite tame compared to fashion blogging! I draft contracts, negotiate licensing deals, and am involved in the enforcement of copyrights and trademarks. Basically, I take care of the behind the scenes work that keep the fashion wheels spinning.
Do you have any advice for students who want to pursue fashion law?
Get an internship at a law firm that represents fashion clients to get an idea of the industry and the work involved. Start networking early by attending industry mixers and events. Knowledge is power!
When you shop, how do you balance choosing clothes for work and leisure?
I don't. I make sure everything I buy is versatile enough to wear to work and to play.
If you were to spill one beauty secret with us, what would it be?
M.A.C. Russian Red lipstick. It will change the way you see red lipstick and maybe even change your life.
Your blog name is "Good, Bad, and Fab" what are some good and/or bad experiences you have had with fashion over the years?
Since I've started my blog, I've had so many good, great and fabulous experiences. Going to New York and Milan fashion week definitely are on the top of the list. Being the official Saks Fifth Avenue blogger is also up there. As for bad experiences, I think I tend to take on more than I can chew because I get so excited when new opportunities come up. So I end up trying to juggle a hundred projects at once which results in sleep deprivation. So yeah, unable to experience the joy of sleeping eights hours a night is a bad experience.
Finish the sentence. My fashion mantra is work, play, dress, and live fabulously!

How would you describe your style?
I don't think I have a particular style; I like to dress depending on my mood. But I would say I gravitate towards colorful, feminine and fun pieces.
Where do you draw fashion inspiration from?
Pretty much everywhere, from the streets, movies, TV, magazines, designers, Internet, other fashion bloggers and even food!
Do you have any fashion rules that you live by?
Not really, I don't like to follow rules ha,ha,ha.
What's your go to piece to make a fashion statement?
Shoes, I live for my prosti shoes! The higher the heel the sexier I feel!
Do you have any beauty secrets you can share?
I never go to bed with makeup on, I wear SPF all the time and I drink a lot of water.
You spend a lot of time in New York City, what's one thing we must do after getting off the plane?
Grab some pizza and go shopping
When you're not blogging we can find you on the small screen hosting segments for Univision and Telemundo. How did you get your start?
Not many people know this, but before I started my fashion/beauty blog I used to be a sports anchor, reporter, writer and radio host for multiple Spanish media outlets. I got a communications degree from USD and I've been doing TV for over 14 years! So, when I started blogging about fashion and beauty it was just a natural transition.
Your mantra is….
Live every day as if it were your last!
Shop the look:
1. Sari
What made you pursue fashion?
I've always been addicted to shopping and clothes. I come from a family with primarily men, so I guess I turned out as girly as possible.
How would you describe your style?
My style is always evolving. I tend to dress for the occasion and what I'm feeling like for the day. Some days I'm super vintage and other days I can be a total hippie. I guess I would say my style is chameleon like.
Where do you find style inspiration from?
I definitely get my style inspiration from fellow bloggers and friends. I love to see real girls wearing pieces I would wear in their own unique ways.
What's your go-to piece to make a fashion statement?
A fabulous full vintage skirt. It's become my signature piece and I get so excited when I find a new one while vintage shopping.
You're a Los Angeles native. If we were to hang out, where would you take us?
I would probably take you all over, since L.A. is such a large city. Brunch in Los Feliz probably my favorite little restaurant Alcove, followed by shopping on Melrose, a short peak at the LACMA, and dinner and drinks in Downtown.
We noticed you're into travelling, tell us about your love for Italy and Via Ghibellina 76?
I spent a semester abroad in Italy about 2 years ago and fell in love with traveling. Europe is definitely a different place. It was so eye opening to see the many lifestyles people lived. Via Ghibellina 76 was my apartment and it was my favorite place to people watch from my window and write.
Tell us, which season do you prefer for dressing up?
Fall is my favorite season. I live trench coats and boots. It's nice cause you can later for warmth but also de-layer if it gets hot which it usually does in LA.
When it comes to working out, what's your favorite method?
Bikram yoga is my go to workout method. It centers me body mind and soul. I love detoxing and flushing the bad substances out of my system. It's more for health than just being fit and having a nice body.
What's on your workout playlist?
Nothing. Bikram yoga requires you to clear your mind and so you have to be in silence for an hour and a half.
Since your name is Stiletto beats, we can't help but to ask… What's your favorite ShoeDazzle heel?
I have so many but the one I love right now is the Levi! Edgy, comfortable and so wearable.

Blake Von D caught our attention when she won a ShoeDazzle contest. Her unique take on fashion and beauty had us from the beginning. But, her love for law keeps us intrigued. Read on to get to know a girl with beauty and brains!
Who is Blake Von D?
I'm really just a normal girl. Like a lot of girls, I enjoy pretty things and can't get enough of dressing up. I'm also a big dreamer and all about girl power. I think there's nothing that women can't do and I try to embody that in everything I do.
If you had to tell your teenage-self one thing what would it be?
"TAKE THAT OFF!" Lol. I look back at all the terrible fashion choices I made as a teenager and I cringe. I can't even justify it by conceding that I was fashionable for the time. Nope. It was just all around terrible decision making lol.
What type of law will you practice? What made you decide to go into law?
I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was a little girl. I've always had a penchant for "proving my point". At the moment, I'm not quite sure what type of law I want to practice. I originally thought that I would definitely go into criminal defense. But lately I've been giving some thought to the fields of Fashion Law or IP Law, which deals with things like copyrights and trademarks. It's a tough decision because I'm really passionate about social justice (I also have a Master's of Social Work) and I feel like by not doing criminal defense, I'd be letting people down. But I just have to keep reminding myself that, "It's ok to have more than one dream."
To put it simply your hair is amazing! Do you have any hair journey stories that you can share with our readers?
Thank you! I cut my hair into this style shortly after graduating college in 2009 and I couldn't have chosen a better style for myself. I think it really showcases my "what you see is what you get" personality and has forced me to truly appreciate my appearance on a deeper level, without relying on hair as a crutch. I'm loving everything about this journey!
Tell us your beauty secrets! What's something you can't live without?
I love a good foundation. My current go-to is MACs Liquid Studio Fix Foundation. I'm also a sucker for a good tube of mascara. My favorite is Maybelline's Stiletto Mascara. And I always close out my day by cleansing my skin with Rx for Brown Skin's acne treatment system.
We love your style, you were literally the girl crush of our office! Whose style do you often find yourself crushing on?
I'm totally blushing! You guys sure know how to make a girl feel special. I have quite a few style crushes. It's hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to, it would be Rihanna (at the moment). She's fearless and always willing to make bold style choices. You can't help but love a girl with that sort of bravery. I also love Olivia Palermo's style. That girl has impeccable taste!
If you could raid their closet what would you take?
O goodness, where to start?! I would DEFINITELY take the Stephane Rolland dress Rihanna wore to the 2009 Glamour Magazine Awards. It was showstopping! I'd also steal off with the black Armani gown she wore to the 2012 Grammys. As for Olivia Palermo, she always has great shoes. So I'd probably start by taking a pair…or six.
Do you have any statement pieces that you guiltlessly wear over and over again?
I have a great blazer that I recently purchased from H&M that I just can't get enough of. It goes great with almost anything. It's kind of sad how often I find myself wanting to wear it.
Finish the sentence. When I want to refresh my wardrobe I ____________.
I always start with my shoes!
The right shoe can change the whole feel of an outfit and luckily I have Shoedazzle to feed my addiction!
Head nod to your "Notoriously Chic" shirt, what's one of your favorite lyric's from the great B.I.G.?
I'm glad you like it! It's a super cute tee designed by a close friend. I have to admit, I'm not the biggest B.I.G. fan (I'm more of a Tupac kinda girl), but if I had to choose my favorite lyric from the late rapper it would have to be the opening lyrics to "Big Poppa", "To all the ladies in the place with style and grace…". What fashionista can't relate to those lyrics?!

How would you describe your style?
I always have a hard time with this question mostly because my style is constantly changing depending on my mood every day. I would definitely say I'm always on the girly & eclectic side!
When you're getting dressed what's one indicator that you've got the look?
It's an indescribable feeling! You feel confident and it immediately perks up your mood. For me, I instantly start brainstorming for locations to photograph the outfit; even if I'm running late to an appointment. It may sound silly, but you kind of fall in love with what you're wearing – sometimes, it happens when I have no where important to go like buying groceries and running errands and then I debate on whether or not to save it for another occasion.
What are some of your fashion do's and don'ts?
Do push your limits! Some of the best outfits are those where we're thinking outside of the box and maybe slightly outside of our comfort zone, in a good way, whether it's an unusual texture, an eccentric shoe pairing, or a fun pop of color (or all monochromatic). Don't doubt yourself. If you feel good in it, rock it!
Have you ever made a huge fashion mistake?
Of course! There was one outfit where I just went too far with mixing textures and prints (think monochromatic, faux fur, leather, textured tights, ikat shorts – it was overboard) but I'd rather be on the quirky side causing a small commotion than boring, any day!
Your husband takes all of your photos, what's a fun fact about the man behind the camera?
He used to DJ and competed in battles, placing with some of the top names in the industry!
How do you balance your career in Technology Sales and Blogging full time?
It's definitely something I struggle with, especially during the chaotic month end, quarter end and fiscal year ends as it makes it nearly impossible to not work 24/7 but I would say I attribute it to the fact that my husband and I work together as a team in both careers. Because of that, he really helps me balance it out and keeps me sane! Also, although I definitely spend full time hours blogging (there are just enough hours in a day to work 2 full time jobs and sleep!), it doesn't feel like work because I love it so much!
When you're not blogging or working what do you like to do for fun?
We're big foodies (which is something I do blog about occasionally) so if I'm not working, blogging or attending industry events, you'll find me at any one of LA's highest rated eateries or watering holes!
Your mother went into labor at the South Coast Plaza, what's your favorite store there?
Yes! While she was pregnant with me! What store is there not to love there? I'm not sure I could pick one favorite but I love Hermes (my husband bought my birthday bracelet from there) and well a girl can day dream about their bags all day right? Louis Vuitton from the days I used to collect a ridiculous amount of their bags, Zara because it's Zara and the easy go-to's Nordstrom & Bloomingdales!
How would you say your style has evolved throughout the years?
I'm definitely much more adventurous. Although I've always loved bright colors, fun prints and lots of accessories, I've also always had a huge complex about my legs (they're thicker than the average!) so I used to shy away from fun colored and printed pants. My close friend aka my blogger bestie, Sheryl, would always try to encourage me to try them and she finally got me to wear a pair of red jeans. That's when I fell in love. Now, I have more crazy printed jeans and crazy colors than I do the average blues and blacks!

In his 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama identified basic research and STEM education objectives for his proposed "year of action," two issues close to our hearts here at the AAS Executive Office.
At around 8 pm last night, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers introduced omnibus appropriations for FY 2014, the fiscal year that began this past October. Here we look at how this would affect the astronomical sciences.
Action Alert: Tell the Budget Conference Committee to End the Sequester and Reinvest in Discretionary Programs
This Action Alert requests that AAS members email or call their representatives in Congress to end the budget sequester and support strong investments in basic research. Instructions on whom to contact and how to do so are provided along with sample communications.
Last week's plots may have given the impression that the NASA SMD division budgets, and changes therein, were all on the same scale; they're not. Here's a short addendum with a more appropriately scaled plot.
To provide greater context to our discussion about the NASA Science Mission Directorate budget, which we began last post, here are two plots of total SMD funding over time.
Last post, we took our first look at the potential budget for the coming fiscal year, FY 2014, which began 28 days ago. This time, we'll dive a little deeper into the budgetary outlook for NASA in FY 2014, as the two chambers of Congress begin the budget negotiations mandated by their crisis-ending deal.
The last few days have brought welcome news of a potential end to the government shutdown. Whether you believe there can be a long-term, large-scale budget bargain or not, its important to look at where this Congress left off when they last considered funding the government in something like the "normal" way.
The federal government remains shut down. We are sorting out its effects on our astronomical sciences, and we're asking you for your stories, which we'll collect for a letter to Congressional leaders.
At the Golden Goose Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC, a cadre of researchers were recognized for seemingly obscure basic research that has reaped huge and wholly unexpected rewards in societal applications.
Josh Shiode, the AAS's incoming John N. Bahcall Public Policy Fellow, blogs about his somewhat meandering journey from research scientist to policy wonk.

San Fransisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick recently appeared on ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue where athletes pose in the nude (Fine! I'll give you the link.) From CBSSports.com, 49ers safety Donte Whitner was asked what he thought about Kaepernick's decision to appear in the magazine and it doesn't sound like Whitner nor his teammates are going to give their quarterback a free pass. "He's the man right now, and that's what he chose to do," Donte Whitner said. "But he's going to receive some flak in the locker room Whitener was also asked if he would ever do the same thing. I would never do that," Whitner said on the Bull and Fox radio show. "To each his own. I don't know about all the naked pictures and the lower body. I'm a little bit against that, but to each his own Kaepernick is probably already expecting some teasing about the situation and won't care.

If they are so small, wondering how the government knew about them when the Americans were infected with ebola. Sometimes I think a new law is passed because someone´s brother in law has just the fix for it but hope that wasn´t the case here. Every one I´ve seen talking about ebola on TV say they should NOT have been brought back to the US.
