Bethanie Mattek just launched a new website featuring all the usual stuff we've come to expect from B (read: bad hair, worse fashion).
It's good to see her back on court too after getting married and dealing with injury. However, I'm not loving the red/orange/copper crap dye job at all - icks - though it's not quite a hairy situation yet.
But with B I've come to learn to expect the worse but prepare for hilarity. It's just a matter of time.

She wore a similiarly misguided beehive cum french twist for her wedding.ReplyDelete
But her misguided fashion choices are just a part of her allure!
I really do hope that she continues to ride the wave of success she had last year.

I had to take a second look on the first picture to realize that she holds a racquet not a chain saw. She should get smaller roles in Tarantino slash films.ReplyDelete
She looks like Vanilla Ice in the top pic.ReplyDelete
OMG, thank you Tennis Observer, I really though she does hold chain saw!It's a racquet??How does she finds people who actually follow her ideas and excute them?Mistery.ReplyDelete
That woman is delusional, I just want to keep my eyes off of her.
It's kinda hilarious and sad people know her for being a tennis clown, and like .... just that.
No more Bethanie, please.
We often cite the lack of "personality" in the sport. She's definitely carved her own niche. As tacky and loud as it is, she's got personality.ReplyDelete
allison: OMG ROFL!!!!!!!! So spot on with Vanilla Ice. So good.ReplyDelete
tessa: I like her - not her style - but the fact that she goes out there and is herself, the good bad and ugly. And, she can play some ball - she's pretty good in doubs and made some waves in singles last year before she fell off.
pamela: AGREED.
I just saw her monster truck on the tour's website.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. Rich help me out!
sara: I did all that and more (read: *vomit*) after running through her web pages. All in a day's work I say.ReplyDelete
Her official web presence is kinda... um... disturbing. LOLReplyDelete
It's like you visit the site of a rockstar.
She's a total glamour wannabe, but I have to agree with Rich and Pamela: at least she's herself and doesn't care about other people's opinions. Kudos!
Another thing: I CANNOT believe she's only 23. She looks around 30 to me, seriously.ReplyDelete
I know, for some reason she doesn't look 23-years old here, though sometimes she looks like she's younger than 23 when she busts out some of those awful outfits.ReplyDelete
I'm thinking more about that Wimbledon outfit with the shorty shorts and the knee socks - she could've been 10.
Yeah it's weird, she's like a chameleon...ReplyDelete
In her wedding pictures she looks much older than she is - all wrinkly-eyed and whatnot.

There he goes: Harry is alone wandering the streets of New York City, realizes he loves Sally, then bolts it to the party where she is. He shows up out of breath and in love.
Please note SHE is being chased, not doing the chasing. As in My Best Friend's Wedding, that scene is less romantic.

Q&A: Honnold Takes A "Step Forward" by Soloing El Sendero Luminoso
Last week, Alex Honnold blew the minds of climbers across the globe by free-soloing the 1,750-foot limestone face-climb El Sendero Luminoso (5.12d) in El Potrero Chico, Mexico. Honnold's solo shocked the climbing world not only because of the shear size of the route, but also because of the style of climbing found on the majority of El Sendero's 15 pitches--thin, delicate face-climbing on dime-size edges with a sustained grade of 5.12.
"It was an exciting step forward for me personally," Honnold told Rock and Ice. "I think it was definitely one of the hardest big routes that I've done."
Rock and Ice contacted Honnold to hear more about this amazing free-solo.
R&I: Why did you decide to free-solo El Sendero Luminoso?
I've sort of fantasized about it since I first climbed the route, but in a very general way. Last year I started actively considering it, but the opportunity didn't really arise. This year I came down to Mexico with that specific goal in mind, though I was still sort of waiting to see how it felt.
R&I: Had you climbed the route before this trip?
Yes, years ago I onsighted it with my friend Chris Weidner. Then last year I climbed pieces of it with two different friends. This year I came back with Cedar Wright and put in a bunch of days of cleaning and preparation.
R&I: Describe the experience when you finally decided to go for it.
I was totally solo, but since we'd been working on the route there were lines hanging off to the side on parts of the route. I would have preferred to have the wall totally clean, but it just made sense to leave the lines up because we went back up the next days to film.
But the actual experience was maybe one of my best solos. I felt really solid and cruised the climbing.
R&I: What was the crux for you?
Pitch 2 was definitely the hardest for me. I thought it felt like 12c-ish. The 11th pitch is also kind of tough, but it was more straightforward climbing so it wasn't as intimidating to solo. The 2nd pitch is all side pulls and directional feet. It's really technical.
R&I: How does this solo stack up to your other high-end multi-pitch free-solos?
It's hard to compare since it's so different. Sendero is all face-climbing instead of crack-climbing. And because it's a giant slab you don't really get pumped at all. But it's super technical and quite a long route, so it's still a big undertaking. I think it was definitely one of the hardest big routes that I've done, but time will tell. Someone who grew up climbing limestone might find it quite easy, who knows. But it was an exciting step forward for me personally.
R&I: What's next on the agenda?
I'm going to Patagonia with Tommy Caldwell in about two weeks. I've never been down there so it should be an adventure!

Ofrezca a familias trabajadoras una oportunidad de dar su primer paso para salir de la pobreza.
Representatives from the New Zealand Association of Credit Unions (NZACU) and Central 1 Credit Union of Canada who met in Vancouver earlier this month included (left to right) Jonathan Lee, NZACU; Linda Archer, Central 1; Richard Thomas, Central 1; Henry Lynch, NZACU; and Simon Scott, NZACU.
VANCOUVER, B.C. — How best can a credit union system grow in the face of increasing competition and growing regulations? The New Zealand Association of Credit Unions (NZACU) was recently asked that question by its member institutions. It turned to one of its counterparts in Canada to explore similar experiences and solutions to the challenges both systems face.
NZACU officials recently traveled to Central 1 Credit Union in British Columbia as part of World Council of Credit Unions' International Partnerships Program. The visit brought together two developed credit union systems with similar goals and objectives for mutual benefit and collaboration, according to Brian Branch, World Council president and CEO.
"Many of our partnerships pair developed and developing systems together to help grow the credit union presence on a global level," Branch said. "There is also tremendous benefit to pairing two developed systems to share strategies and techniques for improving member service."
New Zealand's 22 credit unions serve nearly 200,000 members, according to World Council's 2011 Statistical Report. During its Canadian visit, NZACU hoped to learn about new growth strategies as well as improve its advocacy capabilities and better understand Canadian credit union governance structure, according to Henry Lynch, NZACU CEO.
"New Zealand has one of the most developed banking systems in the world, and our credit unions are competing in a very regulated and competitive market," Lynch said. "Our World Council partnership will allow NZACU to learn from Central 1 around growth activity in a very competitive market. We found the visit to be worthwhile, stimulating and of great assistance."
In addition to Lynch, Simon Scott, NZACU chair and chair of First Credit Union in Hamilton, N.Z., and Jonathan Lee, NZACU general manager, represented New Zealand's credit unions. Canadian hosts for the delegation included Central 1's Don Rolfe, president and CEO; Linda Archer, senior vice president of marketing and human resources; and Richard Thomas, senior vice president of government relations and corporate secretary. Victor Miguel Corro, World Council vice president of the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions and the partnerships program, coordinated the visit.
In addition to visiting Central 1, the New Zealand delegation visited several Vancouver-area credit unions, including Aldergrove Credit Union, First West Credit Union, North Shore Credit Union and VanCity, Canada's largest credit union. The visits were based on the individual niches each credit union serves, according to Archer.
"We were pleased to have the opportunity to meet with the New Zealand delegation and to find out more about their system," Archer said. "Credit unions are and must continue to be a credible local alternative to the big banks. Although separated by distance, it's always interesting to see that we face many similar issues in continuing to raise awareness of credit unions and the value they provide to not only their members but to the communities they serve."
Central 1 plans to continue the discussion when it sends delegates to visit NZACU and its credit unions in New Zealand in December.

Southern California Timing Association Top Speed Time Trials - Dry-Lake ScreamersWritten by on February 1, 1999 Contributors: Will Handzel
Building cars for drag or road racing is fine and dandy, but it seems the top-speed guys don't get the recognition they really deserve. That's not to say going 8s on the strip or doing serious hot laps around a road course is easy, but most don't realize what it takes to make a stock-bodied car go 150 mph, 200 mph, or faster. These guys do-and we have to say it looks a lot tougher than the dragstrip or road course boogie.The Southern California
Timing Association is one of the oldest motorsport sanctioning bodies around, and it's been putting on top-speed time-trial events at SoCal's El Mirage dry lake for more than 50 years. We decided to take a trip up there and check out some of the killer cars that hammer the 1 1/3-mile stretch of El Mirage soil on a regular basis.
Wanna Go?
The SCTA usually puts on six El Mirage events a year between May and November, and this year's dates are set for May 16, June 6, July 18, September 12, October 3, and November 13-14. We heartily recommend it to anyone with a serious need for speed. For details, contact the SCTA at 805/526-1805 or visit them on the Internet at www.scta-bni.org.
No Bellybutton Camaros!
If you think all Camaros are boring, try driving one 236 mph and let us know if you've changed your mind. That's the number you'll see in Ed and Glen Carter's Midyear Camaro. Secrets? A 475-inch big-block with Eagle rods, a Crane solid roller, and 13.0:1 compression. Ed and Glen pointed out that the motor has the stock oiling system, unlike some setups that use a big-buck dry-sump system. On top are Dart 320 aluminum heads and Hilborn mechanical injection. Ed and Glen share the driving duties and grab the levers of a Lenco four-speed. A 3.07:1-geared 12-bolt is the setup used at El Mirage, and the car was really on a march when one of the brothers (we didn't ask who was driving) accidentally shut the car off at 174 mph. They've got nothing to be embarrassed about though, as the Camaro has run as fast as 204 mph at El Mirage. At Bonneville, more room allowed for taller 2.73:1 or 2.56:1 gears and a career speed of 236 mph! For other classes, they have two other motors: One's a 427 and the other a unique, destroked 358-inch big-block.
Motivatin' Monza
George Vose owns this wild '75 Monza and crew guys Howard Hoffman and Martin Hansen turn the wrenches. Martin was also the pilot on the day we caught up with them. The 307-inch small-block is topped with a 6-71 huffer and runs on alcohol. Motor bits include Dart heads, a solid roller cam, a steel crank, and Arias pistons. A TH400 trans turns a 12-bolt with 2.56:1 gears. Running in C Blown Fuel Altered, Martin tripped the timers at 170 mph. Future plans call for some record chasing at Bonneville in the 220-mph range with a 259-inch small-block.
Flyin' Firebird
Don LaBine's '88 Firebird is a pretty basic car and a great example of how you can go scary fast without spending super-scary money. Starting with one of better aerodynamic profiles (the '82-'92 Firebirds have less frontal area than the '93-and-newer cars), he added a healthy amount of go-power in the form of a 433-inch big-block. The combo uses a 454 block with a 396 crank, Carrillo rods, and JE slugs that net 13.0:1 compression. An Engle mechanical roller cam moves the valves. On top are Dart heads and a Hilborn mechanical fuel-injection system. Power is channeled through a Muncie M-21 close-ratio four-speed to a 9-inch Ford riding on a four-link. In the third-member are 2.75:1 gears. Don runs in either the B Gas Coupe or B Gas Altered class, and we saw him punch a 201.393-mph hole in the high-desert atmosphere. The tune-up that day was right on the money as the car's best pass stands at a slightly faster 206 mph.
What a Luxury (Race) Car Should Be
Just like it says on the side of Jim Gazdzik's Mark VIII, this rig is a hot rod Lincoln of the first order and one of the baddest Fords we've ever seen. The '96 Lincoln Mark VIII is a brand new car, and we saw it on its second-ever trip to a land-speed record event. Jim has lofty goals, and if the way it's built is any indication, some serious speed is not far away. It went 168.868 mph the day we saw it at El Mirage. Power for this other-worldly machine comes from a Boss 429 destroked to 362 cubes to fit in the C Gas Altered class where the current record is 223 mph. The Alan Root aluminum block contains a Sonny Bryant billet crank, Carrillo rods, Arias pistons, and an Elgin cam. The Root aluminum heads have Jesel rockers, Manton pushrods, K-Motion valvesprings, and Manley valves and retainers. Spark is provided by MSD bits. Engine management is by way of an ACCEL/DFI setup tuned by Ken Duttweiller. On Duttweiller's dyno, the Boss 362 cranked out 750 hp at 7,500 rpm. Power is transferred to a Jerico four-speed and a 9-inch rearend with 2.75:1 gears.
The most notable feature is how the motor is set entirely behind the front wheels making it basically a mid-engined car. With a blown version of a Boss motor, Jim, Crewchief John Petri, and driver Alan Foglidani hope to crack the 300-mph barrier with the slippery Mark VIII profile. You can have an additional peek at this awesome car on the web by visiting www.hotrodlincoln.com. Or better yet, go to El Mirage and see it in person.

All types of vehicles race land-speed, including roadsters, lakesters, streamliners, trucks, and production-based cars.Here's Bobby Sykes rolling out of the gate in his blown and nitro-fed '67 Camaro. It runs a 304-inch small-block and was good for 168.04 mph on El Mirage's dirt.This Chevy truck looks deceptively stock but sounded anything but as it was fired for takeoff. Shrieking like an NMCA Super Street car, its way-nasty big-block pushed the garage-door front profile of the 1/2-ton pickup to a speed of nearly 190 mph!
Early in the morning, the cars are run through SCTA's tech inspection. The car getting the once-over is a Duttweiller-built, twin-turbo Buick V-6-powered '89 Trans Am. The '82-'92 Firebird body is quite popular with the top-speed guys,......and there were at least a half-dozen of them in attendance. Most of the SCTA events are one-day affairs, but the November finale runs two days to give everyone a chance at more passes. A large number of cars made the show, so many were only able to make one run each day-usually there's time for two or three.

A new model of compact, environmentally enhanced urban design by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) for the rapid development of satellite cities along Chinese high speed rail corridors has won an international design competition with its Beijing Bohai Innovation City master plan. The winning SOM plan leverages the economic and lifestyle assets of the Beijing-Tianjin corridor by centering the new environmentally friendly district along the high-speed-rail line linking the national capital to the port city of Tianjin. The city expansion will host 17.6 million square meters of mixed-use development, with a focus on providing a premier headquarters location for advanced industries in the dynamically growing Bohai Rim, a region that already accounts for more than a quarter of China's GDP.

I've done some rudimentary searches on the forum. Since you gents are now owned by VMware, I'd like to see if this is doable, and if not, what I need to do to make it happen.
I have been running Zimbra since, what, 3.x? on physical hardware. Currently it is only used for internal email on my home domain. (Comcast has blocked port 25 traffic, and I haven't bothered working around it yet.) Currently, I am running Zimbra 6.06 on Debian lenny.
So I am running it on a P4 with 1GB of RAM, and 80GB HD, and my load average is around 2. I just inherited a Dell PE1850, dual 3.2GHz Xeons, and 2GB of RAM (which is I'll be upgrading to 4GB soon) and a 146GB RAID-1. I have installed VMware ESXi 3.5 on it.
I have the following questions:
1. Would Zimbra work in a VM given the hardware I am proposing? It's a fairly low-traffic server, mainly apticron, ossec and cron messages from my servers and VMs. That said, java is the main offender on the current hardware, using between 30 and 95% of the CPU.
2. I want to change the hostname and IP address. Would it be easier/cleaner to create a clean lenny installation, then back up /opt/zimbra on the original box, copy it over and run the configuration tool? Or run VMware converter and then change the IP and hostname and reconfigure Zimbra?

School bosses get raises amid troubles
Story by
Peter Erikson
With California's public school system facing economic uncertainties – even with the passage of a tax increase under Proposition 30 – some of the most financially troubled K-12 districts have been elevating the payroll for top administrators, including those in San Ysidro and Ramona.
In the 2012-13 school year, a record 188 districts – with about 2.6 million students – have landed on a special California Department of Education list designed to sound the alarm on possible financial peril.
One is the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest district, which has been buried under a cumulative $2.8 billion deficit for the past five years and has eliminated more than 12,000 teaching and staff positions.
Los Angeles Unified pays Superintendent John Deasy $384,948 a year, about five times the salary of the average teacher. Deasy turned down an increase in his base pay, from $275,000 to $330,000, when he became superintendent in 2011, but accepted the raise in 2012, a statewide review of district data shows.
Also in the financial basement is the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District. Over the past two years, average teacher pay has dropped 13.5 percent, to $75,018. But after a takeover of the district in 2009, state officials awarded a $24,606 pay boost, also to be paid by the district, to top administrator John Bernard.
The resulting salary of $201,606, which remains in place for new State Administrator Daniel Moirao, is more than the base pay of Tom Torlakson, the state superintendent of public instruction, and Gov. Jerry Brown, who get $143,571 and $165,288, respectively.
A California Watch examination of 40 of the largest districts on the financial watch list revealed that 23 have raised their superintendents' salaries since 2009. Some of the raises are modest – a small percentage. But others are more dramatic.
The Riverside Unified School District – which has made $100 million in cutbacks since 2008-09 – raised Superintendent Richard Miller's total pay for the current school year from $267,208 to $314,963, including benefits, a boost of 18 percent. Since 2009, the district has raised its superintendent's salary more than 14 percent.
The Lynwood Unified School District near Compton, which projects a 2012-13 operating deficit of $6.8 million, raised its superintendent's base pay by about 23 percent, from $200,000 to $245,000, in the 2010-11 school year. Counting benefits, district chief Edward Velasquez makes $287,681.
Last year, voter approval of a tax increase under Prop. 30 relieved pressure from schools that were facing steep budget cuts. But the initiative, spearheaded by Brown, comes amid a national debate over high salaries for superintendents.
In February 2011, against heavy opposition, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie succeeded in tying the pay of superintendents to enrollment, with a maximum salary aligned with Christie's pay – $175,000. Districts with more than 10,000 students can apply for a waiver to pay its superintendent slightly more.
New York is pursuing similar legislation for school district superintendents across the board. Currently, the state caps the salaries, at $166,572, only of those who head the state's 37 regional education agencies.
Superintendents may be likened to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, said Lawrence Picus, vice dean for faculty affairs and a professor at the USC Rossier School of Education. But superintendents, Picus added, are charged with something more important than simply raising money: They help shape the minds of children.
As such, their duties are more essential than the chief of, say, Citibank, he said.
"Superintendents," Picus said, "are horrendously underpaid" compared to those charged with running the same-sized organization in the private sector, adding that "beating them up over salaries seems unfair."

Shock Tube
Application ID: 100
A shock tube is a device for studying shock waves. Prior to starting an experiment, a diaphragm inside the tube blocks any flow. You increase the pressure on one side, such as with a compressor, and then start the flow by rupturing the diaphragm. The gas expands down the other half of the tube.
Through optical means you can observe the flow and model the action of shocks. A pressurized tube of this type can store substantial amounts of energy, allowing for the study of quite violent flows—albeit for only very short periods.
This model studies the phenomena of shock waves inside a shock tube, by setting up a model that solves for the pressure and the velocity inside the tube.

Kansas only up by 3 at the half. At KU.
I wish more people would realize this. I saw someone earlier today say 70% chance we should win that game.
Least talented KU team in years...
sort of
I agree. I will be surprised if we are favored. I think we'll be fortunate to just split the next 2 games...
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
As soon as KU's 6th man at Phog Allen (aka the refs) step in OU won't be able to win.
Yep. It's not an auto-win by any means. Guys are going to have to play if we're going to beat them on the road. We should beat them, but that doesn't mean we will.
God I hope we do though...
Ku will run away from them and we should definitely beat ou Saturday.
I'll be happy if we go 1-1 over the next 2 games.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
They are coached by Kruger. That is basically like having Tim Floyd as your coach. Very tough to deal with.
KU now up 13
There's the KU run to come out of halftime.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I think we'll be fine as long as Pledger doesn't go off and I'm guessing Babb will be able to contain them.

Completely agree with you here. I'd be thrilled to get one of the next 2, and ecstatic to get both. Neither game is going to be easy by any means.

Agreed. I only see 1 for sure win on our schedule the rest of the way, and that's when we play Texas Tech at home. They are pretty bad. Rest of the games could go either way.

I think we have the game to win both and also I will be at both so I expect two wins!!

Tallahassee, FL - The Winn-Dixie off of Tharpe Street in Tallahassee gave a check to the Second Harvest of the Big Bend Friday.
The check was written for more than 18,000 lbs in food. Donations after the holiday season are hard to come by and organizers say every bit can help.
"We have partnered with [Second Harvest] in feeding local communities to try and stop hunger," said store director Raymond Karwoski.
"This time of year, this type of donation really helps us," said Rich English, Second Harvest executive director.

text: What if you had the power to change history? What if you could influence the future? How 'bout an election or two? Let's assume that's possible for the nonce. Would you use that power for good or evil? Would having the power corrupt you, sooner, later, or eventually? And here's the kicker – would you know if you had it, and if you knew, would it make any difference in your behavior? That's a lot of what ifs. But that's the price you pay for reading a book that can turn conventional wisdom on its ear, as does Left Turn, a book by the Marvin Hoffenberg Professor of American Politics at UCLA, Professor Tim Groseclose. But the more interesting question the book raises, is how does this affect the fight over our 2nd Amendment rights?

Rated 5 out of 5�by Grandpadew Gripmaster (Light Weight) I originally purchaced the medium weight gripmaster for my wife. She has decided to take up sport shooting using a revolver and wasn't sure if she had the finger strength or grip strength to do this. The medium weight Gripmaster was a bit to hard for her to work, however upon getting the light weight one we have seen remarkable increase in her finger dexterity, finger strength and grip strength. This device works each finger individually and also works the total grip process, Extremely well made, as soon as you place it in your hand you will notice the quality of the product. I used it also and being a lefty I was unaware of just how out of sync my right hand was....At the beginning I could not get the right hand fingers to work independently of each other and after just a couple of days I am seeing changes occurring in the right hand!!

String Music
We were south of town to, we got lucky that it blew over us. Saw some cool new country atleast. Trip was good and worked out some kinks in my system atleast.
I went out Tuesday up the Salmon River Road. Got way in there and up the switchbacks going into Burgdorf. I got to see the hills crawling with whitetales, and only a few Mulies. Saw a few elk with the help of my binos. Looked and looked as far as I could for hours and never saw even sign of a bear. However it was fun to get out of this snow, see some country I have not set foot in, and dream of the day I can let that arrow fly at those whitetales.!!
I hunt because......
Looks like you guys have alot better weather than we do. More snow tonight for us. That country looks great. I was thinking about buying a bear tag this year or next for Idaho,sounds like Idaho has a good bear population.
Well, Where I live, the snows not yet gone, and today its done nothing but blow snow anyway. That area is about an hour and half north of me near Riggins. Riggins is a much lower elevation, and warmer area of the state altogether. I was advised by the F&G dept to head up there this time of year as the snow here makes it hard as ever to get into bear country, and some of the bears here are still sleeping, and not up yet due to snow.
However, I didnt see any down there either, but being a bit optimistic still its more that I only spent the day there, and not much more time.
Yes we do have a decent black bear population, if it was legal to shoot them here in town, we have about a dozen or so problem bears every year taken out of town and relocated.
I hunt because......
MT Backcountry Hunter, it is going to be a while before the high country opens up around Bozeman, eh? I was visiting the folks in Gateway last week, and oh man did it look snowy up Bear Creek and in the Spanish Peaks! My old favorite bear haunts are definitely still snowed in there in Gallatin country. Good luck, I hope you find a bruiser!
Bear creek is plum full of snow. We were in the spanish peaks a couple of weeks ago and found a bare hillside but its armpit deep snow every where else.
Nice man. Her having 3 cubs is a good sign that the bears are healthy. Looks like no snow around deer lodge. Not here in bozeman. Keep us posted.
There's still plenty of snow, just not down as low as I was. Once you get up to the Forest Service roads, it's still close to not being able to drive through.
"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."
Hunting camp coffee isn't complete until you chew the last drink.
The snow continues to come down, but don't let that stop you from looking in the lower country. Bears can be found on any part of the mountain (or hill).
Spent some time down in the Custer National Forest near Ashland this past weekend and came across a good size bear track down really low. Never saw the bear, but i'm guessing from the tracks around a 5ft bear. Got the blood pumping!
May should be a better month. Lets hope.

|Creating a unified e-commerce experience for the global leader in business software.
As part of a strategic shift for SAP, the software giant has chosen to drive revenue directly to customers from the sap.com site. For our global relationship with SAP, Vertic was tasked with a multi-project program of re-designing the SAP stores. In the first instance this consisted of the unified storefront, store.sap.com, which would then later expand into various stores for products, companies and SAP internally..
The Vertic and SAP teams would be working across continents, Vertic's Copenhagen and New York teams responsible for developing the information architecture, wireframes, design and front-end development, with SAP completing the back-end development from Waldorff and Palo Alto.
SAP had multiple store owners and platforms without a single entry to the stores. Experience and design were deeply fragmented as the stores were featured on multiple platforms and sites including HTML, Silverlight and iOS native app, and SAP was about to launch a new HTML 5 store via tablet.
We began with an extensive wireframing phase, to quickly lay out the entire site. At this stage, we explored key interaction points and built mini-prototypes to identify problems and create solutions effectively. Simultaneously, we began design directions and a preliminary build of the page templates.
After various design cycles and successful client meetings, Vertic delivered final designs for each page, every component and every interactive element—all down to a pixel perfect handoff to the Development team.
SAP's research had shown that the principal user bases, as well as purchasers of their products, were often busy heads of line-of-business. These individuals would be on the move and thus be using mobile and tablet devices as part of their business decision making. From the start of the program, Vertic recommended that the Store take a device-agnostic approach. We built the front-end in HTML5 in order to adapt to the various screen sizes applicable to an SAP customer's working day.

bean bag cafe
Eat, Play, Work
By root on February 05, 2009 2:36 PM
In our opinion, one of San Francisco's greatest attributes is its plethora of indie cafes and friendly coffee shops, eager to welcome you for an hour or two (or entire afternoon if you're an amiable patron and order something occasionaly). On the other hand, this makes it more difficult to sift through the masses and reveal the true gems. Which is where we come in: We've done the work for you. Whether you're an artist, self-employed or simply need to get out of the house once in awhile, hit up one of these beloved spots for a respite, quality eats and a little peace of mind (oh and occasionally, complimentary WiFi, too).

Custom Car Emblem - How To Cast Your Own Plastic Badges And EmblemsWritten by on March 9, 2007 Just Break Your SS396 Logo? Learn
'You've learned by now that if you break the Bow Tie off your grille, you should be able to find one on eBay or at a swap meet. But what about that 383 Magnum hood script or Buick GS fender insignia? We're always on the lookout for new and interesting techniques, and we are also always breaking stuff; it's how we have developed some of our repair and restoration skills, which brings us to the subject of casting plastics.
Typically, plastic parts are injection-molded by the manufacturer or an aftermarket company using tooling and machines to which the average person has no access. That, however, is not the case here. Using a few products readily available from Freeman Supply, anyone can mold and cast his own creations or reproduce OE parts that are no longer available. It may sound complicated, but it is really quite simple.
The process is called mass casting, and if you follow a few simple rules, you can cast pretty much whatever you want in the comfort of your own garage. Simple mass casting is used for three-dimensional castings with flat open backs. Think of an emblem without mounting studs. The back side of the cast would remain open, where the liquid plastic can be poured in.
Complex mass casting is the next step in casting, where a single parting line runs through the part connecting two halves of the whole. This requires two molds that fit together, such as a flat, front-side emblem attached to a back side that has the studs attached to it.
Thin-wall casting is used for parts such as armrest bases to replicate the thin walls with a cavity on the back side of the part.
Complex irregular casting is the most difficult of the casting techniques, as this process involves multiple steps and features an irregular-shaped parting line and possibly a hollow or thin-wall section combined into one piece.
We re-created an SS396 fender badge to demonstrate the mass-casting technique using silicone rubber tooling material and clear liquid polyurethane. Using silicone rubber to create the mold eliminates the need for special mold releases, since it acts as its own release agent.
The possibilities are endless with liquid tooling materials. Whether it's creating a custom fender emblem or simply casting a reproduction badge for your resto, plastic casting fits the bill. There are a few guidelines to follow to get the best results from liquid tooling. So read up and get casting.

The results of the plastic-casting process yield many different products. With some practice and patience, some very cool trick parts are waiting to be created.The SS396 emblem we re-created in cast plastic was cleaned and the painted inner portions sanded with 500-grit paper.Since the emblem was broken, the front side was taped with thick, three-day tape from 3M. The cheap stuff leaves residue that gets transferred into the mold, which is not good.With the emblem pieced back together, some super glue was added to the back side to make the badge whole again. Care was taken to ensure the glue didn't run through and get on the front side of the badge.Using a flat blade, the excess clay was removed, leaving a smooth, clean edge to prevent leakage and to lock the part in the mold.The wood base was then attached to the rest of the casting box that was constructed from 11/42-inch MDF. The casting box can be wood or plastic. Wood was used here because it is easier to drill for the mounting studs and seal.The V-330 silicone rubber comes in 1-gallon kits, including the hardener. The base is measured on a digital scale in a medium-sized mixing cup then mixed with the hardener.
Once the silicone had set for the 24-hour cure time, the screws were removed and the base separated with a screwdriver.The mold is a perfect impression of the original badge. Everything from minor scratches to brush strokes transfer from the original. Even the reflective shine of the original makes a difference in the final product. The silicone rubber requires no prep before casting, as the silicone acts as its own release agent.The FMSC 1090 polyurethane resin was then mixed and poured into the mold. It only takes 2 ounces to make an emblem as small as this.After the resin cured for 90 minutes, the mold was flexed, this time more carefully. The resin was still soft, as it takes several days to achieve full cure. The parts are thin, so they break easily in this state. Flashing around the edges of the new emblem can be sanded off with 220-grit paper.The Mirra Chrome paint we used for the topcoat is the closest to dipped chrome as possible; it claims to retain 95 percent of the reflectivity of real chrome.The centers of the letters needed to be painted white to match the original. A Paasche Flow Pencil was used to paint the centers. The pencil eliminates brush strokes, yielding a better-looking part.This is the completed badge alongside the original. The badge only needs to be mounted to your beer fridge or toolbox with some double-sided body tape. The mold can be reused more than 100 times, leaving plenty of opportunity for practice and different materials. Clear and tinted plastics can even be used to create unique turn-signal badges.


text: My friend Suze paid me a visit this afternoon to catch up on things. As is usually the case, we sat at my window and watched the world go by, which is always interesting in the Red Light District. No exception today. Among other things, we witnessed a parked bicycle getting blown into the canal by the wind. A few hours earlier one of the renovators next door, who's been our temporary neighbor for some time now, had been hoisting materials up to the 3rd floor (video) (as it's often done in Amsterdam, known for its steep stairs), so I figured I could use the hook at the end of that rope to get the bicycle out. Suze said we should so do it, which was the last nudge I needed (on a rainy day), but in the end it didn't work out exactly that way...but either way, just watch what happened.

Item # MOX0001
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Bleed Kits & Fluid in stock than that.View Similar Products
Motorex Dot 5.1 Brake Fluid $0.00
When many of us started riding mountain bikes, cantilever brakes were the norm, V-brakes were the new kid on the block, and hydraulic brakes were reserved for the rich and famous. But now hydraulic disc brakes are as common as suspension forks, making it all the more important to know how to keep them running smoothly and powerfully. Motorex DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid is a high performance brake fluid designed for use in hydraulic brakes systems that spec DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
Rule #1 before changing the fluid in your hydraulic disc brakes: consult your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website to make sure you know what to replace it with. Some brakes call for petroleum-based mineral oil, while others spec synthetic brake fluid in one of two viscosities -- either DOT 4 or DOT 5.1. Both mineral oil and DOT brake fluid have their advantages, but knowing which one to use is paramount to protecting your braking system's seals.
With a wet boiling point of more than 356 degrees Fahrenheit, Motorex DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid is engineered to perform well under heavy braking when high amounts of heat are produced. And since DOT 5.1 brake fluid is thinner than DOT 4 fluid, it offers less of a change in viscosity at extreme temperatures.
Motorex DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid comes in a 250ml bottle and is compatible with brake systems that spec either DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid.

This works for avid juice 7 brake system
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Not much to say, other than this particular brake fluid works for my avid juicy 7 brake system. I did a bleed operation on my brakes and added a bit of brake fluid to "top it" off. I ridden my bike a few times since, and the feel on my brakes is SOLID with plenty of stopping power.

PerkinElmer acquired Haoyuan Biotech, a Shanghai firm that focuses on the development of infectious disease diagnostics. PerkinElmer officials say the acquisition extends the company's capabilities into nucleic acid blood screening and in molecular clinical diagnostics market in China.
The Haoyuan acquisition adds four infectious disease assays into PerkinElmer's product portfolio. These infectious disease diagnostics tools include a qualitative 3-in-1 assay for the detection of hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), two clinical quantitative assays that screen for HBV and HCV, and one qualitative assay screen for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
"By combining PerkinElmer's robust disease screening capabilities with Haoyuan's proprietary reagents and equipment, the company will be able to offer highly sensitive systems and assays for quality detection of blood-borne infections for the Chinese market," said Robert Friel, chairman and CEO of PerkinElmer. "Integrating Haoyuan's screening products with PerkinElmer's diagnostics capabilities will help to further advance the health of the Chinese people by offering leading technology that ensures accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases at a low cost."
The acquisition marks the latest move by PerkinElmer to increase its investment in China. Two months ago it set up a new customer knowledge center (CKC), a global software R&D team, and an application development center, based out of the new Shanghai headquarters. The CKC will serve as a demonstration center for PerkinElmer's instruments targeted for the diagnostics, life sciences, environmental, food, and chemical markets. It will also operate as a customer user training center.
The global R&D group will help accelerate the research and development and time-to-market of both PerkinElmer's instruments and software, according to the company. At the global application center, chemists and scientists using PerkinElmer instrumentation, software, and consumables, will work on developing application methods and turn-key solutions to address customer needs in the environmental, food safety, and other industrial end-markets specifically for China as well as across the globe.

Illinois' democratic senator, Dick Durbin, hit the senate floor to call for changes to unemployment benefits.
In his speech, Durbin asked the senate to extend unemployment benefits for workers in Illinois and across the nation. In Illinois, the unemployment rate reached 6.2 percent in August, a 12 percent increase over last year.
More than 100,000 workers in Illinois have exhausted their benefits and 13-week extended benefits. Last week, Durbin and other senators unveiled new legislation called the emergency unemployment compensation act to extend benefits again.

Story by Julie Ha.
Anyone still bitter about South Korean skater Yuna Kim not winning gold at the Sochi Olympics under a cloud of controversy?
Then, it might be worth viewing a neat new video of Kim singing and skating to a popular song from the hit film Frozen. The video is from a newly released commercial for Samsung Consumer Electronics' new Smart Air Conditioner Q9000.
Can you guess which song from the movie? Hint: "The cold never bothered me, anyway…"
As Kim is heard singing "Let It Go," the famous anthem from Frozen, Kim is seen performing on the ice and then later recording the popular song with a children's choir. The video has already attracted 786,000 views on YouTube.
This isn't the first time the 23-year-old skater has dabbled in singing. She is well-known in Korea for her singing talent and has even performed on Korean TV music programs. In this 2010 performance, she sang the Brown-Eyed Girls' "I'm in Love" in front of an appreciative audience.
Kim was the first from her country to win an Olympic gold medal in the 2010 Winter Games and controversially won silver in the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, this past February, infamously losing to Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova. Kim is also a two-time World champion and three-time Grand Prix Final champion. She retired from competitive skating after the Sochi Olympics.
If you're feeling nostalgic, take a look back at KoreAm's 2013 story about Kim, as she was making her comeback to competitive skating in the run-up to the 2014 Olympics.
This story was originally published on iamkoream.com.

Jacksonville District Attorney Ernie Lee says the case of two marines involved in the beating death of a man will be turned over to the Marine Corps.
Camp Lejeune marines Brandon Cotter and Erik Ketterman remain behind bars. The DA says the marine corps took over jurisdiction in the death of Jimmie Senn and the state has agreed to dismiss the case.
If this case was tried by the state, both marines would possibly be convicted of involuntary manslaughter with a sentence of less than two years or probation.
Lee says it is likely the two marines will face a court martial.
The district attorney says he will await autopsy results before deciding whether charges will be upgraded against two Camp Lejeune Marines.
Jimmie Senn of Pollocksville died this past weekend in a Wilmington hospital, a week after he was critically beaten at a Jacksonville bar.
Two Camp Lejeune Marines, Brandon Cotter and Erik Ketterman, were charged in connection with the assault.
District Attorney Ernie Lee says he will wait for the autopsy to be performed on Senn before they proceed with any additional charges. That could be later this week or next week.
Previous Story
A man critically injured in a bar fight a week ago in Jacksonville has died in a Wilmington hospital. Two Camp Lejeune Marines were charged with that attack.
A spokesman for New Hanover Regional Medical Center tells WITN News that Jimmie Senn of Pollocksville died this weekend.
Senn and his wife were injured last Saturday at Ducks Bar and Grille on Gum Branch Road. Two Camp Lejeune Marines, Brandon Cotter and Erik Ketterman, were charged in connection with the assault.
The 22-year-old Cotter was charged with assault inflicting serious injury and assault on a female. Ketterman, who is also 22, was charged with accessory after the fact.
The District Attorney's office tells WITN that because Senn died of his injuries, the assault charge will escalate to a homicide charge. Ernie Lee says it is likely the charge with be second degree murder or involuntary manslaughter. We expect to know more on Tuesday.
Previous Story
A man remains hospitalized in serious condition after police say two marines beat him up.
Two Camp Lejeune marines, Brandon Cotter and Erik Ketterman, stood before a judge Monday accused of beating a Pollockville man this weekend at Ducks Bar and Grille on Gum Branch Road in Jacksonville. Police say the man's wife was also injured in the fight. That's why Cotter faces a $200,000 bond. His charges include assault on a female.
Ketterman's bond is set at $150,000. Both marines are due back in court January 30th.
Two Camp Lejeune marines are facing charges after a bar fight leads to one man being seriously injured.
Jacksonville police were called to Duck's Bar and Grill on Gum Branch Road around 2:30 a.m. Saturday to a report of an assault.
Officers found 34-year-old Jimmie Senn of Pollocksville unconscious at the scene. Senn was transported to the hospital where he is in critical condition.
Police say the victim's wife, 41-year-old Billie Senn of Pollocksville, was also struck during an altercation.
After an investigation 22-year-old Brandon Cotter and 22-year-old Erik Ketterman were arrested.
Cotter is charged with assault inflicting serious injury and assault on a female. He was given a $200,000 dollar bond. Ketterman is charged with accessory after the fact and was given a $150,000 dollar bond.
