SPOKANE — Vowing to turn around years of Republican decline in Washington, former KIRO-TV anchor Susan Hutchison was elected Saturday to chair the state GOP.
During a meeting of the GOP's state committee at the Spokane Red Lion, Hutchison defeated the interim GOP chair, Luanne Van Werven, in a runoff vote after two other contenders were eliminated.
Hutchison unsuccessfully ran for King County executive in 2009 by downplaying her Republican ties and claiming to be nonpartisan. But she was in full partisan fervor Saturday, calling Democrats beholden to "union fat cats" and "masters of election fraud as proven in 2004 when they stole the election of Dino Rossi."
That's an often-repeated accusation by Republicans about the 2004 gubernatorial election, although the GOP was unable to prove any fraud in a lawsuit following Democrat Chris Gregoire's victory.

While Van Werven ran as a grass-roots conservative who'd worked in the party trenches for decades, Hutchison pitched her fundraising prowess, celebrity and media savvy.
In an impassioned speech to the GOP activists, Hutchison painted a dire picture of the Republican Party's condition in Washington state. She likened party loyalists to George Washington's "ragtag army" at Valley Forge and said the GOP right now has "no leading indicators with the arrow going up."
Hutchison said the state party is "nearly broke," has a "useless" website and a get-out-the-vote operation that is "spotty in most counties and ineffective in our most populous counties."
"Can it get worse? Of course it can. The Democrats are not playing dead," said Hutchison. She described the Democratic Party as "swelling in our urban centers" and threatening to render Republicans irrelevant.
In 2012, Republicans lost every statewide race, with the exception of electing Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who is now the only Republican official elected statewide on the West Coast. Republicans also lost three races for open congressional seats.
But, Hutchison argued, the GOP can turn its fortunes around. "The reason why is, we are right and they are wrong," she said.
Van Werven had campaigned on her grass-roots chops as a longtime party activist in Whatcom County. She said the GOP needs to improve its data and get-out-the-vote efforts.
"The simple truth is Obama's machine hammered us on the tech front in 2012," she said, noting the Republican National Committee has a plan to do better in the next election.
Van Werven sparked an internal party controversy when she seemed to criticize the GOP's 2012 gubernatorial nominee, Rob McKenna, during a speech to a Republican group in Ellensburg.
At that event, Van Werven said the GOP had "gone the moderate Republican route" and it didn't work out. She said McKenna "just couldn't pull in the votes like he should" among conservative Eastern Washington residents.
Alex Hays, executive director of the Mainstream Republicans of Washington, said the notion Republicans would do better with more-conservative candidates is folly.
"The Republican Party needs to attract more people living in the middle of the spectrum," Hays said.
Hutchison on Saturday seemed to criticize Van Werven's statement, saying the question for Republicans should not be how McKenna worked out, but how Democrats such as Gov. Jay Inslee and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray have worked out for the state.
Van Werven said she called McKenna to explain her comments and emphasized she would not, as party head, stand in the way of moderates.
In her speech Saturday, Van Werven made no similar comments but said the GOP needs "to find candidates who are proud of our platform and who will promote our brand with sincerity and eagerness."
Two other nominees for GOP chairman, Jim Walsh and Christian Berrigan, both aligned with a libertarian wing of the party, were eliminated on the first ballot Saturday. Most of their supporters swung to Hutchison's camp on the second ballot.
The final vote on the GOP state committee was Hutchison, 59, Van Werven, 46.
Since her years at KIRO, Hutchison has served as a board member for the Discovery Institute, a Seattle think tank, and more recently as executive director of the Charles and Lisa Simonyi Fund for Arts and Sciences, a philanthropic foundation in Seattle.
The GOP's leadership post was vacated when Kirby Wilbur abruptly resigned last month to take a job in Washington, D.C. Wilbur had been elected to a second term in January. Hutchison will serve out the remainder of the two-year term.

When is the last time you asked, "is it time for my organization to modernize our B2B Integration?" Has it been a year, a few years, or even longer. For most companies, I think it has been more than a few years because B2B works so well. For decades, B2B Integration has been successfully helping organizations to automate manual processes, reduce errors, speed up commerce, create visibility into the supply chain and many more benefits. B2B has increased close collaboration between customers and suppliers. Even EDI (electronic data interchange) has been around for more than 30 years and shows no signs of going away. Your B2B Integration works; it gets the job done, so why would you be thinking about investing in modernizing it?
The simple answer is because is "getting the job done" enough for your organization these days. Do you need more out of B2B Integration than you have been getting? Are you maximizing the benefits B2B Integration provides?
To answer that question, it helps to know what kind of benefits the market leaders are receiving from their B2B Integration. Bryan Ball, Vice President and Principal Analyst for Aberdeen's Supply Chain and Operations practices discusses the benefits that leaders are receiving while comparing them to the laggards. Watch the video B2B Collaboration: Driving the Return.
After listening to Bryan describe the range of benefits and advantages leaders have, it makes sense to be asking whether it is time for your organization to modernize their B2B Integration. The leaders regularly ask themselves if it is time to modernize their B2B. Leaders know that B2B Integration solutions continue to improve and what they can do now is greater than just a few years ago, and the options are always increasing. Today's B2B solutions can work with your previous B2B investments, so instead of ripping and replacing you can build upon your prior investment to drive higher ROI. Cloud and managed services options for B2B Integration reduce upfront investment while limiting the burdens placed on IT. It is time you look into whether your need to modernize your B2B Integration.

OverviewIndustry-leading designers of today's most advanced designs rely on the Synopsys VCS® functional verification solution for their verification environments. In fact, a high majority of designs at 32nm and below are verified with VCS. Used by a majority of the world's top 20 semiconductor companies as their primary verification solution, VCS provides high-performance simulation engines, constraint solver engines, Native Testbench (NTB) support, broad SystemVerilog support, verification planning, coverage analysis and closure, an integrated debug environment, and offers X-propagation support (VCS Xprop) for X-related simulation and debug.
VCS has continually pioneered numerous industry-first innovations, and is now poised to meet the challenges and complexity of today's SoCs. With features such as such as constrained random testbench, SoC optimized compile flow, coverage, assertions, planning and management, VCS has the flexibility and capabilities that are critical for today's SoC design and verification teams' success.
VCS Datasheet
VCS offers industry-leading performance and capacity, complemented by a complete collection of advanced methodology-aware testbench and constraint debug features, bug-finding, coverage, planning and assertion technologies. VCS' multicore technology delivers a 2x verification speed-up and cuts down verification time by running the design, testbench, assertions, coverage and debug in parallel on machines with multiple cores (see Figure 1). VCS' Partition Compile flow allows users to achieve up to 10 times faster compile turnaround time by only recompiling code that has changed. VCS also supplies a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools, including simulation memory and time profiling, interactive constraint debugging, smart logging, and more to help users quickly analyze issues. VCS with native low power simulation and UPF support, delivers innovative voltage-aware verification techniques to find bugs in modern low power designs with integrated debug and high performance. With its built-in debug and visualization environment; support for all popular design and verification languages, including Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, OpenVera™, and SystemC™; and the VMM, OVM, and UVM™ methodologies, VCS helps users develop high-quality designs.
Figure 1: Multicore support
High-Performance, Full-Featured, Native Testbench and Industry-Leading Systemverilog SupportVCS' Native Testbench (NTB) technology provides built-in natively-compiled support for full-featured SystemVerilog and OpenVera testbenches, including object-oriented, constrained-random stimulus and functional coverage capabilities. VCS' industry-leading, high-performance constraint solver technology is powered by multiple solver engines that simultaneously analyze all user specified constraints to rapidly generate high-quality random stimulus that verifies corner case behavior. The constraint solver engines will find a solution to user constraints, if one exists, minimizing constraint conflicts and maximizing verification productivity.
VCS further expands its capabilities with Echo constraint expression convergence technology. Echo automatically generates stimuli to efficiently cover the testbench constraint space, significantly reducing the manual effort needed to verify large numbers of functional scenarios. Echo is a perfect fit for all teams using SystemVerilog testbenches with random constraints.
VCS also provides a rich set of engines for reducing compile turnaround time and runtime, including pre-compiled IP support targeted at IP integration, Partition Compile to isolate portions of the testbench that are not changing during development cycles, dynamic reconfiguration to compile for a target and select which model is used at runtime, and save and restore functionality to save common states and apply them to subsequent runs reducing simulation time. Combined, these tools offer the most comprehensive set of solutions to maximize simulation efficiency and reduce turnaround time.
Multicore SupportVCS' multicore technology allows users to cut verification time for longrunning tests. It offers two robust use models: design-level parallelism (DLP) and application-level parallelism (ALP). DLP enables users to concurrently simulate multiple instances of a core, several partitions of a large design, or a combination of the two. ALP allows users to run testbenches, assertions, coverage, and debugging concurrently on multiple cores. The combination of DLP and ALP optimizes VCS' performance over multicore CPUs. VCS' multicore technology also supports design-level auto-partitioning, Fast Signal Database (FSDB) parallel dumping, and switching activity interchange format (SAIF) parallel dumping.
Comprehensive CoverageVCS provides high-performance, built-in coverage technology to measure verification completeness. Comprehensive coverage includes code coverage, functional coverage and assertion coverage as well as user-defined metrics. Unified coverage aggregates all aspects of coverage in a common database, thereby allowing powerful queries and useful unified report generation. The unified coverage database offers 2x to 5x improvement in merge times and up to 2x reduction in disk space usage, which is critical for large regression environments (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Unified coverage
Complete Assertion TechnologiesThe native assertion technology in VCS enables an efficient methodology for deploying design-for-verification (DVF) techniques. The built-in support of SystemVerilog and OpenVera assertions allows designers to easily adopt DFV and find more bugs quickly. A rich assertion-checker library and a unique library of Assertion IP make it even easier to deploy assertions across teams and improve verification quality. The assertions serve both simulation and formal property verification environments.
Advanced Debugging and Visualization EnvironmentVCS includes the Discovery Visualization Environment (DVE), an advanced, full-featured debug and visualization environment (see Figure 3). DVE has been specifically architected to work with all of the advanced bugfinding technology in VCS and shares a common look and feel with other Synopsys graphical-based analysis tools. DVE enables easy access to design and verification data along with an intuitive drag-and-drop or menu-andicon driven environment.
Figure 3: Discovery Visualization Environment (DVE)
Transaction-level debug is seamlessly integrated into DVE, allowing users to analyze and debug transactions in both list view and waveform view. Its debug capabilities include: tracing drivers, waveform compare, schematic views, path schematics, and support for the highly efficient Synopsys compact VCD+ binary dump format. It also provides elegant mixed-HDL (SystemVerilog, VHDL and Verilog) and SystemC/C++ language debugging windows, along with next-generation assertion tracing capabilities, that help automate the manual tracing of relevant signals and sequences.DVE further provides powerful capabilities for SystemVerilog testbench debug (including UVM, VMM and UVM methodologies) with several key features, including methodologyaware debug panes, object and component hierarchy browsers, and detailed constraint debug and constraint conflict resolution (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Methodology-aware DVE panes
TCL support is provided for interaction or batch control and skin/menu customization. Unified command language support provides a common set of commands for all tools, languages and environments, making it easy to deploy new technology across design teams.
VCS Planning and Management PackageVCS provides a scalable and integrated planning, management, and analysis package for metric-driven verification. Through the use of a centralized database and common planning format, the VCS Planning and Management Package acts like a project's "GPS": tracking coverage and test data in order to correlate results with project goals and resources, so teams know where they are in the verification process and where they have allocated resources.
VCS offers a plan authoring and management tool, the Verification Planner, which imports plans, and back annotates coverage metrics and tracked statistics onto these plans. Verification Planner has been fully integrated with the Discovery Visualization Environment (DVE) Coverage GUI allowing dragand- drop style plan editing. Through the DVE Coverage GUI, users can visualize structural, assertion and functional coverage. Verification Planner's plan format is interoperable with VCS' automated UVM-compliant RALGEN utility, and our Discovery VIP built-in coverage plans, allowing users to seamlessly integrate register and protocol verification into their overall verification plan. Verification Planner's robust ecosystem allows VCS users to quickly track projects across a wide range of tools.
VCS also provides an integrated management solution, the Execution Manager, which helps balance the tools and techniques that drive projects toward closure. Execution Manager provides a Web-based UI providing test filtering, on-the-fly visibility, real-time regression monitoring, debug triage and regression trend charting. Execution Manager provides an extensible infrastructure allowing home-grown scripting to be integrated without manual maintenance. Through this flow, Execution Manager provides flexible automated infrastructure management improving time to coverage closure, and enhancing the ability of geographically diverse teams to coordinate their efforts and accurately estimate schedules.
Finally VCS' powerful Unified Report Generator (URG) enables fast grading, merging, test correlation and filtering of coverage data. URG also allows users to create detailed trend analysis reports of plan data over time. URG and DVE use a common database format so customers have the choice of viewing data either interactively or statically as HTML reports. Complex analysis such as adaptive exclusion can be executed using this integrated approach. URG is the most powerful report management and analysis engine on the market.
Together, the integrated VCS Verification Planning and Management Package allows customers to plan, analyze, and manage coverage and verification project data in order to drive projects to completion effectively. The combined solution is the most robust and extensible flow in the industry with deep integration into UVM, Discovery VIP and low power flows (see Figure 5).
Figure 5: DVE Coverage GUI detail pane synchronized with main planner pane
Support for Accellera UVM,VMM, and OVMVCS' powerful testbench engines are complemented by support for VMM, OVM 2.1.1, and the Accellera UVM methodologies. With these methodologies, users adopt industry best practices to get the optimum results from VCS. In addition, the VMM methodology provides a number of applications, such as Register Abstraction Layer (RAL) and others, to cut down on the time it takes to set up a powerful verification environment.
VCS' support for Accellera UVM also includes access to the VMM/UVM interoperability kit, which enables the use of VMM with UVM and vice versa. VCS also provides a rich set of template generators for UVM, VMM, and the Register Abstraction Layer as well as wrappers for automatic TLM connectivity. All methodology applications, a detailed reference manual and examples are provided with the VCS solution.
Diagnostic ToolsVCS provides a broad suite of diagnostic tools to help customers resolve issues quickly. From profiling to smart log capabilities integrated with DVE, the VCS Diagnostic tool suite saves engineers time (see Figure 6). Runtime failure diagnostics, loop reports, timescale dialogues, switch summaries, and sanity checks are currently implemented with more functionality planned. The VCS Diagnostic tool suite improves turnaround time when issues occur.
Figure 6: Smart-logging in DVE
Native Low Power SimulationMVSIM native low power (LP) provides VCS with comprehensive native low power verification and debug capabilities. VCS native low power simulation maintains VCS' easeof- use and adoption for low power design by allowing VCS to directly read UPF low power design intent, offers minimal degradation in performance and capacity versus non-LP VCS simulation, enables easy LP debug by enabling advanced LP features in DVE, and provides excellent support for LP assertions and coverage for methodology-driven verification flows (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: VCS native low power simulation
Synopsys Verification IPDiscovery™ Verification IP (VIP) is architected to address the challenge of verifying today's highly sophisticated and complex bus protocols. Built upon the proven VIPER Architecture, Discovery VIP is written entirely in SystemVerilog and natively supports UVM, VMM and OVM.

This unique mountain bike specific floor pump features a super-sized steel barrel designed to deliver the higher volume required of large off-road tires and an extra sensitive, base mounted analog gauge with air release button to help dial-in the exact pressure. A TwinHead with extra long hose, oversized padded handles and stable composite base make the JoeBlow a must-have.
The TwinHead technology gives riders the best of both worlds. Presta valve internals on one side and Schrader valve internals on the other, this easy-to-use dual pump head design makes tire inflation chores a snap. No adapters or swapping out pump head parts, simply choose the side you want, press onto valve stem, flip the locking lever and start pumping.
Designed with a new easy-to-read chronograph-inspired pressure gauge with PSI and Bar index.
What good is a pump if you don't have anything to pump up? Check out our selection of tubes and tubeless accessories here.
Oversize/overweight charge applies to this item.
This pump wins the AK-47 prize for best cheap floor pump. It takes a beating, works on Presta and Schraeder, it's cheap, and it's yellow, which is cool. Only complaint is that they recently shortened the hose to cut costs. If you're working on the bike in a stand, the hose often doesn't reach.
I love my Joe Blow Sport II. With it's easy to use, color coded dual head, it's easy to attach to Presta or Schrader. The gauge is easy to read and seems accurate. I keep my mt bike (26x2.2) at 30-35 lbs and my road bike (700x23c) at 100 lbs. Even when installing a new tube, it doesn't take long or much effort to pump tires up to desired psi. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is that I'd like a longer hose. The one provided does the job, but an additional 6-12 inches would be so much more convenient. The price, however, easily makes up for this one shortcoming.
I purchased this pump in August 2009 and it is still my one and only pump to this day. Granted the seal on the presta leaks a bit of air now if the hose is pulling on the connection, but overall the pump has worked flawless. Next pump I will look for a bit more volume to try and seat mountain tubeless tires, as I have never been successful doing so with this pump.
Works great so far. Have only used it on my MTB tires. Have not tried high pressure road bike tires yet.
This pump is very exceeding sturdy and very well built. The air chuck is very well designed, it work very well for both presta and schrader valves. It comes well recommended from more than 1/2 of my cycling buddies.
Got this with the recommendation from a friend and I have not been disappointed. It's a little on the heavy side but that's to be expected as it is made of metal. The connection head is double sided and has the Schrader and Presta connections built in. The gauge is a little small but it works, it also comes with a marker that you can position to your desired pressure. One thing I liked a lot about this pump is that the needle does not spike up and then go back down, making it more accurate.
I've been using this pump for 6 years. The rubber gasket for the presta valve started leaking 6 months ago. I was able to buy a replacement parts to keep it going. I serviced the pump a few years ago and its holding up well. Solid purchase.
I've used this pump on both presta and schrader valves up to 100 psi and it works great. The best part? There's no trick to switch between presta and schrader - the dual head will accomodate both. The pump itself is sturdy and well made (as are most Topeak products) and the gauge is accurate. If you need a reliable pump that will last forever, look no further.
there's a couple of problems with these pumps, as other reviewers have pointed out for this pump and the original sport. - the head can be difficult to get a seal with, especially on the presta side. it may take several tries before being able to get air to flow, - the dual head is large, making it difficult to get onto smaller wheels with closer spokes, - the hose material is a cheap plastic, not rubber - it quickly starts to crack wherever it's bent (near the outlet and where it's stored over the handle) and soon blows out. their support company, todson, refuses to warranty the hose even though it's a material defect. instead of paying them a third to half the cost of a new pump, get 3/16" fuel line from your local auto parts store. fits perfectly, will last a lifetime, and only costs about two bucks!
Excellent quality and great features. Probably the best floor pump I've bought.
So far, so good. I've only used with Presta valves so far, but I like the option to use with Schrader without changing the head. Connects easily to the valve. No problems yet inflating both my tubeless mountain bike tires or my road tires. Only tried up to around 95 psi, with a bit of resistance up at the higher pressures, but it did the job. The dial is easy to read. I'd recommend it.
Some pumps give you a ton of airflow but too much resistance, others only pump at the last bit of the compression. Then there's the Joe Blow. Smooth with plenty of airflow and low resistance. I have seated many tubeless setups with this pump. The gauge is pretty easy to read, with a marker that you can set to match up the pressure to your planned level. And that color scheme looks awesome.

Driven by the goal of reducing fossil fuel use and pollution, ORNL's clean energy research plays a pivotal role in America's energy future. Scientists and engineers are applying the knowledge they gain from these studies to develop and deploy real-world solutions for energy security and protecting the environment.
From exploring the genetics of poplar trees for use in biofuel production to uncovering the potential for using byproducts of this process in advanced materials for automotive and wind technologies, clean energy research spans ORNL disciplines including biological and environmental sciences, advanced materials, neutron sciences, nuclear sciences, and high-performance computing, and brings multidisciplinary teams together to address key issues.
That means moving well beyond engine efficiency in studying the vehicles of the future, for instance. ORNL scientists also look at alternate power sources, more efficient materials, methods for reducing a vehicle's weight and increasing its safety. Such a broad effort requires materials scientists, engineers, chemists and other experts with different backgrounds, linked in an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. It's what makes ORNL unique.
By embracing industry partnerships to advance clean energy technologies, ORNL is promoting domestic manufacturing and job growth. For example, collaborative research into the energy efficiency of buildings resulted in the development and production of GE's GeoSpring hybrid water, which began rolling off their Louisville, Kentucky, assembly line in 2012. This advanced water heater uses 62 percent less energy and is more economical to operate than conventional models.
Also, through resources such as the Climate Change Science Institute and popular online tools such as www.fueleconomy.gov, clean energy research is helping people to make informed decisions by providing them with a more detailed understanding of renewable resources, the climate and environment, and the technologies we rely on every day.

i'm trying to build zimbra for ubuntu 11.10, but i have some questions
1) do i need to build third party sources (./buildZCS.sh -t)?
2) when trying to build third party sources, it looks for some of my shared libraries (eg: zlib.so) in /usr/bin but many of my libraries are in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. how can i get the build to look in that directory (without symlinking every shared library)
3) i've got oracle's java installed in the ThirdPartyBuild folder. however, can i run openJDK for the java on my machine, and just use oracle java for building zimbra?
4) i've added a file defs/UBUNTU11_64.def and modified devs/plat_commons.def to get it to recognize ubuntu 11.10, so i don't end up with files named UBUNTUUNKOWN_64... are there other files i'm missing?
any points would be helpful, i really just want to run zimbra 7.1.4, i don't want to modify it, but since the released binaries can't install on ubuntu 11.10, i'm building it, hoping to get it working myself (since i don't want to downgrade my OS)

I have problems during my import of messages from my old IMAP server, to Zimbra's. I'm using imapsync, and Zimbra's imap server is complaining with:
Couldn't append msg #760 (Subject:xxxxxxxxx) to folder new/Inbox: 13547 BAD parse error: date out of range
The date is:
Yes, it's out there date wise. That's not the point, of course, however. People do sometimes send email messages with such wonky, weird dates, and Zimbra needs to be able to handle it.
Any ideas on how to allow the imap server to accept such dates?
(note, my only other problem during IMAP import, about file sizes being > 10MB, was resolved with another post. As a suggestion for Zimbra, an offical "howto" with these "gotchas" might be a great idea for IMAP).

Submersive Amp Gone?
Posted 07 February 2012 - 02:37 PM
I came home from a 2 week holiday, i turn all my equipment back on. And the Submersive keeps clipping / popping very loudly. No idea why. I have tried unplugging input plugs, still keeps happening. I dont get it, why would it just suddenly do this, there were no problems all this time. I think a few other people had issues with their amps as well?

Hey mate, mine also failed it was a used amp. It turned on but i had no bass coming out of it at all. Just ring Mark direct and he will ship a new amp, he was very good about it i didn't have to wait too long
I am actually a bit worried by the high failure rate, as it seems like there are at least around 5-6 people if not more from the GB who have had their amps fail on them. To me thats quite a high no. for such a high end equipment is it not?

Posted 09 February 2012 - 12:11 PM
On my sub, i may have resolved the issue although it worries me as i think this might mean it will happen again / the amp is faulty....
I tried leaving it unplugged / turned off for a few hours etc and it didnt resolve it. But in the end i plugged it in and turned it on (but had no input going into it) and i set it to mute. Left it like that over night, the next day, i turned off the mute and the very loud clipping/ popping sounds werent there anymore. So having left it over night, seems to have gotten rid of whatever was going on there. But I havent really tried much with it yet to see if the performance or anything has been affected. I tried a test mode and it seemed to be putting out a signal but i havent tried anything that actually has any bass yet, so that is the only way to really tell if it is still pumping or not.
Posted 09 February 2012 - 12:16 PM
Electronics fail on occassion but I agree this failure rate seems high although one has to factor in the fact most were second-hand units.
Posted 15 February 2012 - 07:39 AM
Did you resolve your amp issue?
Posted 15 February 2012 - 08:25 AM
In terms of repair i was offered the choice of having to send it back and they were going to repair it (so no choice of replacement amp) and that was going to cost me 115$ to send it back, but the other issue was i had no packing material to send it back in... I would have preferred it if they had given me the choice of them sending a replacement amp and then i can use the packing material from that to send the original back.
Posted 16 February 2012 - 02:44 PM
Posted 16 February 2012 - 02:54 PM
Posted 16 February 2012 - 04:17 PM
Yeah thats pretty poor form..With my amp they sent the new one no questions asked! Why on earth does he want an old blown one back anyway, so he can try fix it and put it into someone elses?
Well I had hoped that they would first send the new one out so at the very least i have the packaging to send the old amp back to them. Otherwise its hard to find adequate packaging that fits and that is extra costs, besides the 115$ that they organised through fedex.

The make up artist and the Photoshop operator should get some award for this miraculous job.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2009 at 12:56 PM
I have to say it, I'm impressed!ReplyDelete
Yes to make up, but I don't think much of it is really Photoshop. I remember Sveta looking exactly like this before and it was a real life photo, not a photo shoot.ReplyDelete
And still... what photo shoot of ANY person (tennis player, other celebrities, etc.) isn't touched up by Photoshop these days? Come on.
Wow, Sveta is looking pretty tight, I'd never think I would say that either. She looks 10 times better than freakshow candidate Jankovic. That girl is a bizzo!ReplyDelete
I knew God created makeup for a reason...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I wouldn't say it's just photoshop an make-up. I think Sveta doesn't look so bad, she is just not photogenic. Some people just get tensed when camera is around. So maybe this time she worked it out... :-)ReplyDelete
Beauty, character plus a sense of humour ... what's not to like? Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Heavy rock legends Metallica have released their first new material in three years to celebrate their summer festival shows.
The "Enter Sandman" hitmakers are scheduled to headline Britain's Glastonbury Festival on Saturday night, marking the first time a heavy metal band has topped the bill at the iconic event.
The band has now released a song called "Lords of Summer," their first new material since 2011's Lou Reed collaboration "Lulu," to celebrate the achievement.
Drummer Lars Ulrich tells Metal Hammer magazine, "It's fun… It's a good song… It's kind of written for this tour. It's… kind of about being outdoors and festivals and all this stuff. And here we are getting into the summer and it's not raining too much and, apart from Finland, it's nice and warm."
As well as Glastonbury, Metallica is also slated to perform at Britain's Sonisphere next month, as well as legs of the event in Switzerland, Italy and Poland, and several other European festival dates.

I love all your sensory boxes! How many different ones do you have ? and Do you keep them all in storage? At my daughters preschool they have pretty awesome sensory bins, but not his cool! I wonder if there is a business in this? You could sell different themed ones! My daughter would absolutely love this apple bin! They are a work of art!

@ Melissa -- I usually keep 2-3 different sensory boxes going at a time in our house/playroom. I store the "ingredients" in ziplock bags on a shelf in the garage and some things are from our playroom/toy stash or my kitchen so I just raid those places for "ingredients" as necessary!
And YES, YES, YES!! My older daughter absolutely plays with them as does EVERY child who comes to our house regardless of their ages. Grown ups like them too! ; ) But my older daughter would not be happy with me for letting that secret out!
I have a Pinterest board going with different sensory box ideas including my own. Sounds like it's time for another sensory box post with more details!

Former Blue Knight, Alumna Carolyn Circle '84 Passes Away
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of University alumna, friend, and former employee Carolyn Circle, who passed away on Tuesday, September 11, 2012.
She served in numerous roles during her tenure at the University, including as an administrative assistant in the College of Arts and Sciences and then onto the Vice President for Administration and Controller.
Carolyn retired in 2005, after serving the University for thirty-four years. Carolyn received her bachelor of science degree in biology from Urbana University in 1984.
During her career, she was instrumental in the facilitation of the prison education programs at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, Ohio and the London Correctional Facility in London, Ohio.
Her work is still remembered and visible on campus. Peggy Kessler, assistant to the Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences remembers Carolyn and shared, "Carolyn was very unforgettable. She helped me a lot during my first years here to understand the prison programs and how they function. She was very dedicated to Urbana University and felt this was her second home; she recognized campus faces and was a true pioneer for prison education programs—and beyond."
Carolyn was 69 years at the time of her death. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Brian and Sue Circle of New Carlisle; daughter Lisa Circle '97 of Enon; brother Robert Morris of Florida; three grandchildren: Frank, Jacob, and Audrey; and son-in-law, Frank Smith of Springfield.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family.

Drug test athletes
September 8, 2013
Nancy Bommelman, Minot Wonderful. Now we have football players beating up police officers over a traffic stop and drug usage....
The issue is according to the NCAA that if they drug test they have to enforce the rules if someone breaks them. Corrupt MSU wouldn't want to lose their star players, so they don't test.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
No test, No Sports. The choice is theirs.

Many problems could be avoided with this approach, but it might not fly: "my civil rights" is a possible argument against it.
