Every day there are hundreds of gallons of water flowing through pipes, fixtures and drains in your Lumberton North Carolina home and because of that, they can get clogged or start to show signs of wear and tear over time. When your plumbing system starts to fail you, it is important you immediately contact a plumber so they can evaluate the current and potential damage and offer you further guidance on the plumbing repairs you need to consider having done.
Water Heater Repair & Replacement
The most common sign that your water heater needs repair is that it
doesn't provide sufficient hot water. This can actually be caused by a
number of things including a problem with the thermostat on the water
heater, thinning of the insulation inside the water heater or build–up
of sediment on the base of the water heater blocking heat transfer.
However, no matter what the cause, it will likely cost you money as you
run water for longer trying to get it to become hot.
- Water Heater Repair
- Water Heater Replacement
- Tankless Water Heaters
If you are interested in replacing your current water heater, we recommend you ask one of our plumbing specialists about the benefits of switching to a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters have a higher initial installation fee but use up to 50% less energy than those with tanks and, in turn, save a typical Lumberton North Carolina family hundreds of dollars a year on their water bills.

Chaosmap is an information gathering tool and DNS, Whois, and Web server scanner. It can be used to look up DNS names with a dictionary with or without using a salt. Salting for DNS means it will append numbers from 1-9 to the name in the dictionary with or without a - and _ or a leading 0. Salting for Web stuff will try double slashes and some directory traversal tricks. It performs reverse DNS lookups of a whole IP range (with optional Whois lookup) and dictionary scans for hidden paths on one Web server or a range of IP addresses. Optionally you can encode a path with URL encoding use Google dict lookup mode to find the path on Google and only query the Webserver if there are no search results. It can also extract email addresses from domains using a Google search or perform a list of Google Hacking queries on your domain.
GraphInsight is visualization software that lets you explore graph data through high quality interactive representations. Data exploration and knowledge extraction from graphs is of great interest nowadays: knowledge is disseminated in social networks, and services are powered by cloud computing platforms. Data miners deal with graphs every day. Humans are extremely good at identifying patterns and outliers. Interacting visually with your data can give you better intuition and higher confidence in what you are looking for.

Junkie is a real-time packet sniffer and analyzer. It is modular enough to accomplish many different tasks. It can be a helpful companion to the modern network administrator and analyst. Compared to previously available tools, junkie lies in between tcpdump and wireshark. Unlike tcpdump, its purpose is to parse protocols of any depth; unlike wireshark, though, it is designed to analyze traffic in real-time and so cannot parse traffic as exhaustively as wireshark does. In addition, its design encompasses extendability and speed. It has a plug-in system and high-level extension language that eases the development and combination of new functionalities; threaded packet capture and analysis for handling of high bandwidth networks; and a modular architecture to ease the addition of any protocol layer. It is based on libpcap for portability, and well-tested on professional settings.

FS#936 - Disproportional scaling of block references
Opened by Husky (Husky) - Sunday, 06 October 2013, 18:43 GMT+2
Last edited by Andrew (andrew) - Friday, 11 October 2013, 17:05 GMT+2
... doesn't works proper at circles and ellipses.
Circles: the scale works only proportional even though I have the options for x and y.
Yes, this is a 'known limitation'.
Disproportional scaling of block references only makes sense for blocks that only contain lines or points at the moment.
When using the Modify - Scale tool with different factors for X and Y, arcs and circles are simply transformed into ellipses.
However, entities which are part of a block are defined inside the block so their type cannot be changed.
A potential solution would be to only apply the scaling to the visual representation of the block, but this would break the Block - Explode tool in those cases, so this definitely needs some more thought.
Yes I knew that this is a 'known limitation' but my conclusion after the 3.3.2 release (Support non-uniform scaling of arcs, circles, ellipses) was simple: Maybe now it's possible to have this function also for blocks ...
However - I'm sure you will find a nice solution - as always!

Summary of the Novel
Robert Walton, an explorer, describes his trip to the Arctic in letters to his sister, Margaret Saville, who lives in England. After discussing his preparations for the trip, one of Walton's letters informs Margaret that his ship is stuck and surrounded by ice. Walton then relates a strange event: As they looked out on the enormous ice field, Walton and his crew saw a gigantic man being pulled by a dogsled. The following day they discovered another, smaller man, desperately ill, adrift on a sheet of ice. Walton writes that he brought the man onto his ship, allowed him to rest, and attempted to nurse him back to health. After a week the man was able to talk and told Walton an incredible story.
The man's name is Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist born in Geneva, Switzerland. He is a member of a wealthy family concerned with humanitarian issues. Victor goes on to relate his story to Walton, who writes it down as Victor speaks, making a record of Victor's story, to be sent as a letter to Margaret Saville, Walton's sister.
Victor tells Walton that, as a boy, he was always fascinated by science and alchemy and he eventually attended the University of Ingolstadt to study natural science. At the university he focused all his attention on experiments designed to create life. After months of exhaustive study, Victor constructed a huge creature from parts of human cadavers. He then discovered a method of bringing it to life. However, when the creature opened its eyes, Victor was horrified by his monstrous-looking creation. He ran from his laboratory and became very ill and disoriented for almost two years. During this time, he believed that the creature must have perished.
After he recovered from his illness, as he prepared to return home to his family, Victor learned that William, his seven-year-old brother, had been murdered. Justine Moritz, a young woman the Frankenstein family had adopted, had been accused of the crime. But Victor refused to believe that Justine committed the murder. Instead, he suspected that his creature wasn't really dead, and was responsible for the horrible crime. However, after Victor returned to Geneva, Justine was tried, found guilty, and hanged.
Victor explains to Walton that he felt responsible for William's murder and Justine's execution. Guilt-ridden and desperate to be alone, he climbed into the mountains, where he encountered the creature. The creature told Victor that he had survived for the past two years, hiding out in the woods and eating nuts and berries. Lonely and miserable, he realized that he was repulsive to other human beings. In the forest, though, the creature discovered a gentle peasant family living in a cottage; by secretly observing them, the creature learned to read and write. Then, in his jacket pocket, the creature found Victor's journal and read of the experiments that led to his creation. Enraged, he concluded that it was Victor Frankenstein who was responsible for his misery.
After relating his story, the creature demanded that Victor re-create his experiment and construct another creature. The creature explained he was desperate for a companion who would not find him repulsive. If Victor does as he asks, he will go away with the new creature and never bother Victor again. Although wary of the proposal, Victor says he reluctantly agreed to the creature's request.
Victor tells Walton that he set up a new laboratory in Scotland and began the work of creating a companion for the creature. But he was haunted by the thought that this new monster might be more evil than the original, and he was terrified at the idea of the two creatures creating a new, horrible race of beings. So instead of completing his task, Victor destroyed his work before giving life to the new creation. But the original creature was watching Victor in his laboratory. Furious, he swore revenge, vowing to torment Victor for the rest of his life. Later that night the creature strangled Victor's best friend, Henry Clerval.
Several weeks later, Victor married Elizabeth Lavenza, a girl who was adopted by his family, and with whom Victor had always been in love. But after Victor and Elizabeth marry, the creature appeared on their wedding night and strangled Elizabeth to death. Grief-stricken over the death of Elizabeth, Alphonse Frankenstein, Victor's father, died a few months later. In utter despair, Victor vowed to pursue the creature and destroy it. He chased the monster for months, finally arriving in the Arctic where he met Walton and his expedition.
Having finished his story, Victor Frankenstein dies on Walton's ship. Walton ends the tale in additional letters to his sister, telling her that the night Victor died, the creature entered Victor's room and lamented his death. He then told Walton he planned to build a huge fire and burn himself to death. Before Walton could respond, the creature jumped from the ship and landed on a floating slab of ice. Walton concludes his final letter, telling Margaret that the creature was carried out to sea, where he disappeared into the darkness.
Estimated Reading Time
The Pennyroyal edition of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is 237 pages long with illustrations. While the novel is of average length, some of the language is dated and the sentences and paragraphs are rather long. The plot is complicated, and the narrative is unusual—related as a series of stories within stories and letters. It may be difficult for some readers to fully comprehend the entire text during a first reading. The average reader might want to divide his or her reading time into four or five sessions of two to three hours each, completing three to five chapters in each sitting.

FS#749 - QCAD 3.0.6 / 3.0.7 autosave crashes
Opened by Husky (Husky) - Saturday, 19 January 2013, 08:16 GMT+2
Last edited by Andrew (andrew) - Thursday, 20 June 2013, 11:55 GMT+2
The 3.0.6 Version (Snapshot) is very instable - crashed always after a couple minutes ...
Problem signatur:
Thursday, 20 June 2013, 11:55 GMT+2
Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: Not reproducible, no new information about newer versions. Should the problem persist, please re-open.
Additional Info:
The last crash with 3.0.6 caused a drawing lost. I was not able to reopen the last drawing - File size = 0 bytes!
The Autosave function is enabled - 15 min - but I found only backups dated 9 days ago ....... unusable after 9 days permanent working on that drawing!
Nice to have an additional Backup Program running ...
Thanks for the quick feedback. I've taken down the Windows snapshots for now until I have more time for testing / trying to reproduce this problem.
3.0.7 development snapshot is now available for download. It fixes one potential problem with crashes under Windows but I cannot tell yet if this is what has been the cause of the problems you have been experiencing.
Windows 7-64
3.0.7 seems good so far, the previous reports of zooming problems with the grid and the 'flickering' doesn`t happen now, is this due to a QT 'roll back' here?
The only thing I`ve found so far is that I`ve had to disable the auto-save function as it just gives repeated warnings;
Can't open file: "C:/Users/cct38/AppData/Roaming/RibbonSoft\~~Untitled_2.dxf"
[13:35:46] Autosave failed: C:\Users\cct38\AppData\Roaming\RibbonSoft\~Untitled_2.dxf
Is this due to only using 3.0.7 from the zip file and not fully installing it?
Thanks Clive!
The zooming / flickering issues were caused by the Qt update, yes. I've decided to use Qt 4.7 for now.
An install from the ZIP should not cause any problems / different behavior for the autosave.
I'll check if I can reproduce that here under Windows.
Nice - we have a rule!
I tested a little bit the new release 3.0.7 under XP/32
Crashes - the same problem like the 3.0.6 ...
Beforehand: I lost my Autosave function in the 3.0.0 and if I remember right it must happen after installing the 3.0.6 .... ? The Function was still enabled but not working!
Now my testing:
After running the 3.0.7 (from zip!) it crashed again every couple minutes. After disabling the Autosave function QCAD doesn't crash ......!!!
If I enable the Autosave function it will crash again - exactly in the Time guideline from the Autosave function. To make it more interesting for the programmer it will only crash after the third run of Autosave. Working or not working on the drawing doesn't matter.
My 2 cents: It has definitive something to do with the Autosave Function ...
Many thanks Husky - that will definitely give me an idea where to look!
PS: Can you check if it does or does not crash when saving a drawing normally (Ctrl-S or File - Save) a couple of times?
OK, here`s my testing:
I`ve now downloaded 3.0.7 at home on windows 7-64 and running side by side with 3.00.
1.In 3.0.7 same problems with auto-saving but disabled it and then tested 'Ctrl save' and File > save with no problems at all.
2.Then - totally un-installed/removed both 3.00 and 3.0.7 and 'cleaned up' everything (appdata -roaming files etc...
3.Then installed with installer 3.0.7 and now I have absolutely no problems at all -auto-save function working as it should and Ctrl save and File > Save working with no problems!
So for now I`ll leave things like this and test some more.
My theory is that somehow both applications when run 'side by side' are using the appdata function and maybe this is conflicting in some way, is this possible here?
Autosave OFF:
10x "Save" → NO problems
10x "Ctrl-S" → NO problems
Autosave ON:
Below Time schedule of Autosave:
10x "Save" → 10x "Crtl-S" → No Problem
Autosave kicks in: 10x "Autosave" → NO PROBLEMS!
Interesting - is the curse broken with the manually saves of the drawing?
I guess you are right with your "side by side" theory but I like to mention that I was never running two different versions at the same time for this testing ....
Just saying...
... since many hours 3.0.7 works stable ... inclusive Autosave!!! During my test I haven't open any erstwhile version.
Me too, still no problems, 3.0.7 still stable and I have used it successfully when editing and saving 2 files to laser cutter :)
After many hours without problems - 3.0.7 crashes again and set the drawing AND the Backup file to 0 bytes.
First crash today was directly after a manually "Save".
3.0.7 running without Autosave, worked on a drawing,
Manually saved the drawing 3 times in row with "Save",
1. time - OK,
2. time - OK,
3. time - crash!
Drawing has again a 0 Byte size ...
Between savings I haven't changed anything on the drawing.
Windows 7-64
Still no problems after lots of production work/editing etc.
savong works fine for me with or without Autosave enabled.
I'm jealous - what ever I have tried - nothing works ....
Husky - just curious, do you get a crash on simple or complex drawings -or both?
Any luck?
Husky: no, this has not been reproducible here so far.
Thanks for the Info!

Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis associated with psoriasis, a chronic skin and nail disease characterized by red, scaly rashes and thick, pitted fingernails. The disease is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in symptoms, characterized by joint inflammation. However, psoriatic arthritis tends to affect fewer joints than rheumatoid arthritis and does not produce the typical rheumatoid arthritis antibodies. The arthritis associated with psoriatic arthritis comes in five forms:
Although the cause of psoriatic arthritis is unknown, factors such as immunity, genetics, and the environment may play a role.
The following are the most common symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. The skin condition, psoriasis, may actually precede or follow psoriatic arthritis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of psoriatic arthritis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
When psoriasis has been diagnosed, a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis may be easily confirmed. However, when psoriatic arthritis symptoms precede symptoms of psoriasis, diagnosis is more difficult. Although psoriatic arthritis sometimes causes an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR, mild anemia, and elevated blood uric acid levels, these symptoms are also associated with other rheumatic diseases, including gout. ESR is a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube. Generally, the faster the blood cells fall, the more severe the inflammation.
Specific treatment for psoriatic arthritis will be determined by your doctor based on:
Treatment usually involves treating both the skin condition and the joint inflammation. Some medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis are also used to treat psoriatic arthritis, including:
Other treatment may include:

FS#766 - Layer List: Add "Lock All Layers"
Opened by Christian Aigner (caigner) - Sunday, 17 February 2013, 12:01 GMT+2
To improve useability/efficiency I would like to propose the following changes/additions to the layer list:
1) Combining the show and hide button into one button.
Clicking once will hide all layers, clicking again will show them all again.
2) A "lock/unlock" button.
Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.
Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.
Yes this would be useful if you are working with lots of layers, its got my vote!
Could we add a third function : restore selected layers before the first click ?
Good idea.

I would like to present a play about "our town."
I have been asked by the Heritage Museum (Carolyn Justus) to create a play for this summer.
I have spent some time conceptualizing this request.
The first performance of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" was Jan. 22, 1938 — 75 years ago. This Pulitzer Prize-winning drama depicts everyday lives in an imaginary town in New Hampshire from 1901 until 1913.
"Sunbonnet and Straw Hat" is the working title for a two-act play that captures "pieces of time" in the lives of men and women of Henderson County from 1879 until 1920. The play is an attempt to contribute to the development of an audience's historical sensibility, their ability to imagine in historical terms.
The play focuses on Henderson County history from the coming of the train until the end of World War I. That period is often looked upon as the "Golden Age of Henderson County History."
The physical setting for the play is the Historic Courthouse courtroom. The acting ensemble consists of a Judge and Jury.
Like Wilder, I feel that the real play is in the mind — not in the scenery. Wilder utilizes minimal scenery and props. He utilizes meta-theatrical devices. The character identified as the Stage Manager, for example, speaks directly to the audience and assumes roles in the play.
In a similar way, the Judge, in "Sunbonnet and Straw Hat," seeks meanings enacted in events. There is creative dialogue between the past and the present. He/she serves as the "controller of time and space."
The Judge employs literary and cinematic techniques to distort time and can present events in or out of order — "what happened to a character that morning or the day before — what will happen, in some cases, to the character in the future."
The Judge can fast forward, stop action, assume roles, make commentary, foresee what will happen in the future or "rewind" to a beginning.
There are Jurors, in the tradition of a Greek chorus, who are capable of assuming more than one role. The Judge can subpoena and dismiss the Jurors, provide biographical information on each one.
The Judge might choose to stop the action of the play in order to ask the Juror a question — speed things up or slow things down to reveal what a character is thinking or what has motivated his/her action. The Juror, in addition to his role as a member of jury, can become a part of the crowd celebrating the arrival of the train on July 4, 1879, or, perhaps, a member of a church choir.
The Judge can go from talking about the way a minute passes to the way a century passes, or a lifetime. The Judge, as conceived, is capable of organizing personal and group history. The courtroom action might be as simple as the "dedication of a portrait of M.C. Toms," but the Judge can interrupt the dedication ceremony to "personalize" the man — allow "moments in time" to complete the "picture of the man" and his contributions to community and county.
The Judge orchestrates. In short the Judge, like Jung's "collective unconscious," embodies the "universal, timeless elements of human experience" and is capable of "integrating the conscious and unconscious forces at work in individual or community, resulting in a meaningful wholeness of life."
He goes from talking about something up close to evoking something very distant — "a grain of sand here, the moon there, a planet out there. "
The Judge can choose to stop the action of the play to reveal what a character is thinking or what has motivated his/her action.
The purpose is "to teach us what we cannot see," to educate our sensibilities.
I want to generate a creative dialogue between the present and the past.

Furlough Information. Because of budget cuts, Cal State has had to resort to furloughs. Administrative and staff furlough will result in most campus services being unavailable two days a month. Each faculty member must take 9 furlough days each semester and let students know if those days coincide with instructional days as well as assign out-of-class work to compensate. Here is a list that you will find useful in your dealings with the English Dept. and with regard to our class schedule:
English Dept. Administrative Furlough Days: if you need to interact with the English Dept., do so on a day other than the following: August 7, 28 | September 4, 25 | October 9, 23 | November 20, 23, 24, 25 | December 4, 30. (Most of the dates fall on Fridays.)
Instructor's Furlough Days: Except for October's dates, all of the following occur on Fridays, when we don't have class sessions anyway. (The October dates were assigned administratively.) I have made no major changes in the reading lists for my courses, so the quality of our experience should be the same as others I have taught at Fullerton. The furlough days I have chosen are August 28 | September 4, 25 | October 20, 21, 22 (Tu. W. Th.) | November 6, 20 | December 4.

FS#824 - Rectangle and Polygon should (optionally) produce Polylines
Opened by galio (galio) - Thursday, 13 June 2013, 17:17 GMT+2

First of all it would make it easy to move them in one piece.
The tools could then be moved to Polyline Tools or maybe get their own category called Polygon Tools with a Rectangle as Icon.

Reason for closing: Implemented
This is definitely a matter of preference, either on a user basis or on a case to case basis.
Many users prefer not to work with polylines at all (a polyline might be easier to select or move, but also much more cumbersome to handle when it comes to trimming, cutting out segments, etc.). If a rectangle is constructed to remain a rectangle forever, a polyline would probably suffice. If a rectangle is constructed as a base shape to draw something more complex, lines are likely preferable.

OLYMPIA — A light rain greeted Gov. Chris Gregoire as she arrived at the Department of Labor and Industries headquarters in Tumwater earlier this month, one of the last stops on her farewell tour of state agencies.
She'd come to take a bow and thank them, the hundreds of employees seated in the room and watching on closed-circuit television, for their efforts in her eight years in office.
Before departing, an employee asked the question on everyone's mind: What's next? Are you going to work for President Barack Obama?
"I do find it fascinating," she began as her lips formed a smile, "that the coverage so far is that I'm on the short list for U.S. trade representative, ambassador to Canada, head of the Department of Commerce, the (U.S.) attorney general and head of the (Department of) Interior. Somehow that strikes me as saying I'm not well qualified for any one thing."
Laughter filled the room as Gregoire, never much for joke telling, successfully delivered this punch line.
Gregoire said beforehand she's not out looking for a job and hasn't been contacted by anyone in the Obama Administration. Right now, she anticipates getting a few improvement projects done on her Olympia home and doting over her first grandchild, a girl, born last month.
If the president did phone with an employment offer, the lifelong public servant figures it will be hard to turn down.
"Would you say, 'No, I'm busy'?"
Taking stock
Gregoire, Washington's 22nd governor and its second woman at the post, will leave behind a complicated legacy.
Historic events — a 2004 election victory many residents thought she stole and the signing this year of a law legalizing gay marriage many voters tried to repeal — serve as bookends for her tenure.
In between, there were a rash of special sessions to deal with budget deficits and a lack of serious administration scandals save the departure of a philandering Department of Corrections secretary. On her watch, four failing Steel Electric-class state ferries were yanked from service days before Thanksgiving in 2007 and Washington came up empty in the "Race to the Top" competition for federal aid for public schools in 2010.
There were natural disasters like the 2007 flooding of I-5 in Chehalis and a trove of human tragedy, including the slaying of four Lakewood police officers and the murder of Monroe corrections officer Jayme Biendl. And there were the military funerals of Washington residents killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
She will be credited for brokering deals many thought improbable if not impossible. Her first came in 2005 with a last-ditch rescue of the multi-billion dollar transportation improvement package and its 9.5-cent gas tax increase when it appeared all but dead in the state House.
In the ensuing years, her tenacity and talent in negotiating helped end decades of fighting over use of water from the Columbia River, averted a longshoremen strike at ports throughout the state, powered down the TransAlta coal plant, reformed the state's workers compensation system and, earlier this year, secured and preserved a budget deal between weary lawmakers in the midst of an all-night session.
"She's a great negotiator," said House Minority Leader Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis. "History will show her to be a person who could bring the different sides together to get a deal done."
What most may recall of Gregoire's two terms is how the economy's boom and bust forced her onto a political course she never envisioned.
Soon after settling in, state tax collections soared to a record high, driven by an unprecedented surge in home sales.
Gregoire invested in public schools, colleges, health care, social services and environmental programs.
She teamed with majority Democrats in the House and Senate to fund voter-approved initiatives for teacher pay increases and shrinking class sizes. She pushed through a new Department of Early Learning and the Puget Sound Partnership. She seemed to be trying to check everything off the wish list of Democratic lawmakers.
In 2008, the economy ground to a halt. In the fall, the stock market crashed and the housing bubble burst. She won re-election then spent much of the second term undoing what she did in her first.
She proposed budgets she said she hated because they required her to pare programs, cut spending and lay off workers in nearly every corner of state government. She broke her pledge not to raise taxes to generate revenue for safety net programs. While she said they would be temporary, she is now suggesting lawmakers continue some of them to pay for underfunded public schools.
Along the way, Gregoire became just about the most conservative Democrat in the Capitol, to the pleasure of Republicans and frustration of her allies in education, health care and social services.
Critics who blasted her for overspending in the good times, didn't relent much when the cuts began.
"Go ahead and criticize," she said. "Over 50 percent of the money was spent on education. They were some of the best budgets higher ed had ever seen. We started the Department of Early Learning. The rest of the money was spent on corrections, all kids having health care and (fighting) child abuse neglect. Do I regret that? No."
That's not to say Gregoire is leaving office with a sense of accomplishment. She's not.
"It wasn't my agenda. I got totally distracted from what I set out to do," she said. "I hope history will reflect that I saw us through the worst times — the worst recession since the Great Depression — and that I did it with my head and my heart and I kept my values intact."
A rough beginning
Gregoire had little time to fashion an agenda before getting the keys to the governor's mansion.
The Nov. 2, 2004 election for Washington's governor was one for the history books involving three ballot counts and a court case. Republican Dino Rossi, a former state senator, won the initial two counts only to watch Gregoire, the state's three-term attorney general, emerge as the victor Dec. 30 following a hand count of nearly 3 million ballots.
She arrived to find a caustic environment enveloping the Capitol. Signs reading "Not my governor" could be seen in offices and talks of a re-vote persisted.
On the second day of the 2005 session, Republicans in the state House and Senate tried unsuccessfully to delay Gregoire's seating until a court could consider a legal challenge of the election.
The next day, Jan. 12, Gregoire delivered her inaugural address to a joint session of the two chambers. Some GOP members wouldn't go on the floor. Others did but then turned their backs on her as she spoke.
"Applauding today would be like a cow celebrating the good chow at the feed lot — you know the slaughter's coming," Rep. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, said then. Ericksen, who was House Republican floor leader, now serves in the state Senate.
Gregoire called it a grueling experience but she determined not to let the tension make her tentative.
"It's a mind thing. I wouldn't wish it on anybody," she said. "I figured if I'm here for four months or four years I'm going to do what I think is right, and went for it."
Republicans who didn't welcome her in 2005 came to respect her as one they could trust to be straightforward and fair.
"While I don't agree politically with everything Gov. Gregoire did, personally she is a very nice person," said Rep. Mike Armstrong, R-Wenatchee, who worked closely with her on transportation issues. "She worked hard for the state. I think Gregoire can leave office with her head held high."
A call to serve
Chris O'Grady was born in 1947 in Auburn and raised by a single mom who worked as a short-order cook.
A product of public schools, she earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Washington, attended law school at Gonzaga University then, inspired by the words of President John F. Kennedy, chose government service as a vocation.
"She believed in public service. It became part of her marrow," said Victor Moore, her first budget director and now executive director of the Washington State Investment Board. "She made me feel like what I was doing had value."
She worked for Republican Attorney General Slade Gorton then accepted an appointment as director of the Department of Ecology under Democratic Gov. Booth Gardner.
In 1992, she won the first of her three elections as the state's attorney general.
Midway through her second term, in 1997, she made her mark by taking a lead role in negotiating the $206 billion settlement between 46 states and major tobacco companies.
In 2003, she launched her campaign for governor. Soon after she learned she had breast cancer. She underwent surgery and remained in the race, which she won.
Gregoire, who often referred to herself as a "recovering lawyer," entered office with a pile of policy initiatives she wanted to pursue.
She proved intense and indefatigable in doing so the next eight years, according to her closest aides.
"I don't know any person that I've worked with who was more prepared for virtually everything. She did more homework than anybody I've ever seen," said Marty Brown, a senior adviser and now executive director of the state Board of Community and Technical Colleges.
Staff couldn't come unprepared to a meeting. To do so put them at risk of a stern glare they deemed the "The Look."
"I don't yell. Apparently I have some way with how I look at you with my eyebrows. They tell me when I do this they know, 'Uh oh,'" Gregoire said.
One thing Gregoire needed to learn — and never quite mastered — was how to meld her directness with the nuanced politics going on inside each of the four caucuses.
DeBolt came to appreciate Gregoire's style.
"She was the kind of governor that didn't stand on formality. She'd come to my office, sit down and say we need to talk," he said. "It took a long time to build a relationship. She's a friend. I'm going to miss her."
Solution-oriented by design, she could become flummoxed when lawmakers locked up on a subject and wouldn't move.
It happened in the push for a University of Washington branch campus in Snohomish County. She felt momentum growing behind a campus until the area's lawmakers and civic leaders couldn't agree where to build it and even hired consultants to undermine each other.
"I learned a lesson there. If the community can't unite, this place won't move," Gregoire said.
While Gregoire rarely shed her lawyerly demeanor in public, she loved a practical joke.
In a softball game pitting the governor's staff against those in the budget office, Gregoire began arguing with Moore, then head-butted him in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Players on both sides gaped in horror until Gregoire and Moore couldn't keep a straight face at their prank.
"She really has a hilarious sense of humor," said retiring state Sen. Margarita Prentice, D-Renton. "She doesn't come across to the public that way. They never got to really know her."
An incomplete legacy
In her inaugural address in 2005, Gregoire said elected officials "have a special obligation to leave an even larger legacy of opportunity, prosperity and optimism" when they're done serving.
Nearly eight years later, she's unsure she's going to live up to those words.
"I could have said that at the end of the first term. I don't know if I can say that at the end of the second term," she said. "I feel there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic but, boy, it's hard after you've been through the worst recession in history to say this is a more optimistic time. We've seen ourselves through it and if Congress doesn't screw up, we're on our way."

Recounting her way to victory
The Nov. 2, 2004 election for Washington's governor was one for the history books, involving three ballot counts and a court case. Republican Dino Rossi, a former state senator, won the initial two counts over Gregoire, a Democrat, and Ruth Bennett, a Libertarian. But Gregoire, the state's three-term attorney general, emerged as the victor Dec. 30 following a hand count of nearly 3 million ballots.
Here's a reminder of how the leader board changed with each count.
Nov. 2, 2004 — initial tally of ballots
•Dino Rossi 1,371,414
•Christine Gregoire 1,371,153
•Ruth Bennett 63,346
Nov. 29 — results from machine recount
•Dino Rossi 1,372,484
•Christine Gregoire 1,372,442

Dec. 30 — official certified results following hand recount
•Christine Gregoire 1,373,361
•Dino Rossi 1,373,232
•Ruth Bennett 63,465
June 6, 2005 — final results following actions by Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges.
•Christine Gregoire 1,373,361
•Dino Rossi 1,373,228
•Ruth Bennett 63,464

The journey to gay marriage
Gov. Chris Gregoire says signing the law allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is one of her proudest moments. It didn't come easy for her nor did it come quickly to her desk. Rather, Washington enacted a series of laws regarding gays and lesbians preceding this year's historic change in policy.
Here is what happened in Gregoire's tenure:
Jan. 31, 2006 — Law signed banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
April 21, 2007 — Law signed legalizing and recognizing same-sex domestic partnerships registered with the state.
March 12, 2008 — Law signed expanding rights of registered domestic partnerships.
May 18, 2009 — Law signed granting domestic partnerships same rights and privileges under state law as married heterosexual couples with the exception of marriage.
Nov. 3, 2009 — Voters approve Referendum 71, upholding the so-called "everything but marriage" law.
Feb. 13, 2012 — Gregoire signs law legalizing marriage for same-sex couples.
Nov. 6 — Voters approve Referendum 74 upholding the law.
Dec. 9 — Gay and lesbian couples marry in ceremonies around the state.

Just when it seems that every conceivable strategy for demonizing Israel has been exploited, along comes a new vehicle that's every bit as toxic as what's already out there, perhaps even more so.
Wrapped in an intentionally complex and confusing vernacular that's impossible for anyone but its staunchest adherents to fully understand, this new-fangled language of incitement and vilification appears to be rooted in two separate, though sometimes intersecting, terms: "homonationalism" and "pinkwashing."
Though both of these constructs began to creep into the English language after 9/11, with particular linkage to dynamics within gay political culture in the United States, their more recent application has been directed, with much greater venom, toward Israel.
It's difficult to find any definition of these words that is not cloaked in the most absurd of jargon. One of the simpler descriptions is contained in promotional material for an upcoming conference sponsored by the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies at the City University of New York (CUNY). Homonationalism, according to this source, "occurs when sub-sectors of specific gay communities achieve legal parity with heterosexuals and then embrace racial and religious supremacy ideologies." Pinkwashing is "using rights protections for one group (in this case gay and lesbian people) to conceal rights abuses against another group."
In relation to Israel, the insinuation is that the state's protection of gay rights, and its marketing of particularly Tel Aviv as a gay-friendly destination, is nothing more than a callous ploy to conceal persistent violations of human rights for Palestinians and divert attention from the "occupation" of Palestinian lands.
Two of the major proponents of this latest verbiage to malign Israel are CUNY professor Sarah Schulman and Jasbir Puar, associate professor of gender studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Puar was at McMaster University recently delivering a lecture titled "Ecologies of Sensation, Sensational Ecologies: Sex and Disability in the Israeli Occupation of Palestine." First, as expected, she accosted her audience with an array of unsubstantiated allegations against Israel and its people. Then, using pinkwashing as her fulcrum, she waded into an even more warped and appalling diatribe, accusing Israelis of systematized pronatalism (the policy of encouraging higher birthrates to ensure population growth), the promotion of eugenics and selective abortion, and sanctioned neglect of physically and mentally disabled children.
What was alarming, though plain to see, is that under the guise of purported "scholarship," and by craftily applying layers of unnecessary complexity to what essentially boils down to the base language of hateful propaganda, Puar has helped to open an as yet under-explored, but nonetheless deeply troubling, vista. If unchecked, it will no doubt expand in scope as it strives to discredit not only Israel's enviable record of protecting and promoting gay rights, but also its more widespread contributions in so many other areas as well, both domestically and globally.
It's clear that in Puar's perspective, there is little that Israel does that is not designed merely as a distraction from its alleged – though in her opinion deliberate and brutal – oppression of Palestinians. Her linguistic manipulations, which speak to a perfidy and an inversion of reality that have no place in honest discourse, need to be robustly challenged.

of the golden hits from the 1990s Touch and Go or Amphetamine Reptile catalogs, tweaked out on the exhilarating paranoia typical of America in the
early aughts. Distorted vocals, oscillating bass lines, and jittery guitars form a nervous, seasick swath over the plodding drums.
Featuring AT veterans Larry Boothroyd of Victims Family
on bass and John Geek of Fleshies on vocals; other
members were in Bottles and Skulls and
Lower Forty Eight, "Out Of Africa" was recorded with Kurt Schlegel, the Melvins' engineer, at
his Lucky Cat Studio!
The LP comes with a CD included for easy digitalization & is on WHITE VINYL!
"The Triclops! version of punk rock destabilizes preconceptions with every twisted minute. Best live band in San Francisco? Provided you like your music unpredictable, aggressive, and
more than a little bit threatening!"- SF Weekly
"Super proggy acid-punk ... breaking down into some surprisingly
melodic pop, before getting heavy and crazy.... For anyone
that's been missing that old 90's Touch and Go/AmRep sound, or
people that just love proggy flipped out PUNK RAWK, this is
definitely recommended."- Aquarius Records
"It's hard to define what qualities secure a band's position on Alternative Tentacles. The most successful independent labels tend to stick to a niche audience, appealing directly to the people who snatch up the label's newest releases based on the pedigree they've curated. But Mr. Biafra's life's work tends to appeal to genre-modding bands whose music is generally forward-thinking and not quite easily approachable.Enter Triclops!, an array of well-accomplished Bay Area musicians from Bottles and Skulls, Fleshies, Victims Family and Lower Forty-Eight. Trying to describe the music made by these four musicians is difficult. I can say that it fits nicely next to Jello Biafra with the Melvins releases.Triclops! takes punk songs and runs them through a meat grinder of precision polyrhythms, digitally effected vocals, swarming chord progressions and gut-wrenching riffs and dizzying loops. The overall effect is disorienting, captivating.
Though the general song length runs close to six minutes, and the band does feature precision instrument work and a high range of vocals, I wouldn't put them near Rush territory, though the band's attack is dangerously reminiscent of prog-rock.The band members play like musical mercenaries, hired to commit war crimes and executing their direct orders with shameless efficiency. The guitars are constantly running through augmented scales over frantic but controlled drum fills. But what cements everything are the piercing vocals, run through different amps and distortion settings, sounding like a voice breaking through dimensional barriers on the album's shining opener "March of the Half-Babies."
The best interpretation of the music, however, could be an examination of the album's artwork by Lee Harvey Roswell, on display in full as the band's Top 8 on their MySpace page. Featuring centaurian beasts stacked on top of each other, wearing white gloves and clown noses, ripping into the fabric of reality with their hooves, holding the sun as a balloon tied to an umbrella handle and suckling the teats of the one of top of them, the artwork is all at once disturbing, surrealist, absurdist and awe-inspiring. You can't explain what it is without being able to show it to someone, and the same holds true for their music."- punknews.org

"I have to start by saying, I'm tired of answering the question,
what does SNFU mean? It doesnąt mean a thing. At one point it
In 1981, on the eve of the great Edmonton Oilers hockey
dynasty, three young skaters vowed to paint their names on the punk
rock wall of fame. Fusing the aggression of skateboarding with the
raw energy of punk music, twin brothers Marc and Brent Belke, and
their pal Mr. Chi Pig, formed SNFU- and pioneered the "skate punk"
genre. Three years later, the band released their groundbreaking
first album, "...And No One Else Wanted To Play" (BYO, 1984). This
record, which remains one of punk rock's most influential, allowed
SNFU to tour continuously over the next four years, stunning crowds
across North America and Europe with their dynamic live
Between 1985 and 1989, SNFU took only two
breaks from their rigorous tour schedule, recording "If You Swear,
You'll Catch No Fish" (BYO) in 1986 and "Better Than A Stick In The
Eye"(Cargo) in 1988. After relocating from Edmonton to Vancouver,
the band released "The Last Of The Big Time Suspenders"(Cargo) in
1991. Two years later, SNFU cemented their current line-up, adding
the tag-team rhythmic assault of Dave Rees (drums) and Rob Johnson
(bass). They released three albums on Epitaph Records, "Something
Green And Leafy This Way Comes"(1993), "The One Voted Most Likely To
Succeed"(1995), and "FYULABA"(1996); the first two sold a combined
total of over 100,000 copies. With upwards of one thousand live
performances under their belts, SNFU draws fans from 12 to 40 years
of age; in over twenty countries, they have packed venues ranging
from 200 to 10,000 capacity.
Alternative Tentacles are
proud to release these five crushing tunes, available on either snazzy 10"
vinyl or CD/EP. This release was their latest offering to date : "The
Ping-Pong EP", featuring the driving production of Dave Ogilvie
(Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson). A charged package
of shredding guitars, thundering drums, snarling bass lines, and, of
course, Mr. Chi Pig's signature, off-the-wall lyrics. SNFU again
demonstrates their prowess by flexing those punk rock muscles.

More info on some of the new features:
HTC BlinkFeed: A personal live stream right on the home screen
At the center of the new HTC One experience is HTC BlinkFeed. HTC BlinkFeed is a bold new experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos with immersive images so that people no longer need to go to separate applications to find out what's happening. HTC BlinkFeed aggregates the freshest content from the most relevant and interesting sources, giving it to people at a glance, all in one place, without the need to jump between multiple applications and web sites.
To enable this new dynamic approach to the smartphone, HTC will provide both local and global content from more than 1,400 media sources with more than 10,000 articles per day from some of the most innovative media companies, such as the AOL family of media properties, ESPN, MTV, Vice Media, Cool Hunting, Reuters and many others.
HTC UltraPixel Camera with HTC Zoe
The breakthrough HTC UltraPixel Camera redefines how people capture, relive and share their most precious moments. HTC Zoe gives people the ability to shoot high-res photos that come to life in three-second snippets. These Zoes, photos and videos are then displayed in a unique way that brings the gallery to life and transforms the traditional photo gallery of still images into a motion gallery of memories. It also automatically creates integrated highlight films from each event comprised of Zoes, photos and videos set to music with professionally designed cuts, transitions and effects. These highlight videos can be remixed or set to different themes, and can be easily shared on social networks, email and other services.
To enable this innovative camera experience, HTC developed a custom camera that includes a best-in-class f/2.0 aperture lens and a breakthrough sensor with UltraPixels that gather 300 percent more light than traditional smartphone camera sensors. This new approach also delivers astounding low-light performance and a variety of other improvements to photos and videos. In addition, the perfect self-portrait or video is just a tap away with an ultra-wide angle front-facing camera which supports 1080p video capture. Multi-axis optical image stabilization for the rear camera also helps ensure video footage smoother whether stationary or on the move. HTC UltraPixel camera adds many other features and effects such as enhanced 360' panorama, time sequencing and object removal.
HTC BoomSound
The new HTC One offers the best audio experience of any mobile phone available today. HTC BoomSound introduces for the first time on a phone, front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier and an amazing full HD display that immerses people in music, videos, games and the YouTube(TM) clips they love. Beats Audio(TM) integration is enabled across the entire experience for rich, authentic sound whether you're listening to your favorite music, watching a YouTube video or playing a game.
HDR recording uses advanced dual microphones and audio processing to capture clean, rich sound that is worthy of high-definition video footage. Phone calls sound great on HTC One thanks to the addition of HTC Sense Voice, which boosts the call volume and quality in noisy environments so that conversations come through loud and clear.
HTC Sense TV
HTC Sense TV transforms the new HTC One into an interactive program guide and remote control for most TVs, set-top boxes and receivers. Tapping the power of the cloud, Sense TV makes it simple and intuitive to see what's on and find that favorite show.
Metal Unibody Design
Wrapped in a zero-gap aluminum unibody and sporting a brilliant 4.7", Full HD (1080p) screen, the new HTC One features the latest Android Jelly Bean operating system and LTE network technology to offer blazingly-fast browsing in a package that combines premium design with breakthrough build quality.
Available in stunning silver and beautiful black, the sleek and crafted aluminum unibody sits comfortably in the hand and showcases HTC's unique antenna technology, which helps people achieve a crystal clear signal. The display also resists scratches and reduces glare, whilst offering incredible 468ppi resolution and rich, natural colors.
Global Availability
The new HTC One will be available globally through more than 185 mobile operators and major retailers in more than 80 regions and countries beginning in March.

Palmeiro looks to garner more Hall of Fame support
Rafael Palmeiro is a candidate on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the fourth year. The Class of 2014 will be announced Wednesday. You can watch the announcement live at 2 p.m. ET on an MLB Network simulcast on MLB.com as part of a three-hour live show beginning at noon. On Thursday, MLB.com and MLB Network will air the news conferences featuring the electees live from New York at 11 a.m. ET.
Rafael Pameiro, with first-ballot credentials on paper but a suspension for PED use at the end of his career, is back for his fourth National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot try. For three years, his minimal support has been enough to keep him on subsequent ballots, but nowhere near enough to suggest a trend of acceptance that could eventually swing open the hall doors.
This year, Palmeiro could be in jeopardy of falling below the five-percent red-line, and falling off future ballots. In voting for the 2013 Class, he drew 8.8 percent of votes, trending downward from 11 and 12.6 in his first two years of eligibility.
"I was like, 'Wait a minute. I got 8.8 percent, which was less than last year. I lost support. I lost a lot of people who voted for me last year,'" Palmeiro told The Baltimore Sun after the 2013 voting results were announced. "That was a little bit surprising, but it's not unexpected, I guess."
With the 2014 ballot including compelling newcomers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, Palmeiro is acutely aware of the possibility of disappearing from the ballot.
"I am concerned that now ... with the guys coming up, some of my votes will be taken off and given to other guys," he said in the January 2013 interview. "I don't think there is anything I can do."
Palmeiro thus could unwittingly become one of the lasting symbols for the indelible stigma of PED association because of his unique mark on baseball history, more unique than other candidates whose game lacked the dimensions he brought to play.
The first three men to conclude their baseball careers with more than 500 homers and 3,000 hits were first-ballot shoo-ins into the Hall of Fame with an average of 93 percent support. They were Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Eddie Murray.
There is only a fourth member of that fraternity, Palmeiro, whose lack of support confirmed his expressed concerns and dreads over how his conviction for the use of performance-enhancing drugs would affect his candidacy.
There still is no gray area concerning the Cuba-born first baseman with the sweet left-handed swing.
It is all white: Palmeiro's 20-season career ended with 569 home runs and 3,020 hits.
Or all black: Palmeiro's career also ended during the 2005 season with a 10-day suspension for violating MLB's Drug Policy, giving him the blemish of being the first star of the sport's so-called PED era to be suspended.
That suspension came at the end of his career, and Palmeiro has steadfastly maintained it has unfairly sullied his body of work.
"Voters are putting too much weight on the one incident," said Palmeiro, who has also never backed off his contention that he did not purposely take steroids, but must have injected a tainted vial of B-12 supplement that he received from Baltimore teammate Miguel Tejada as an energy boost.
"I wish they would look at my whole career," has been Palmeiro's constant plea. "If they want, why don't they just throw out the last season of my career? I would still have Hall of Fame numbers.
"I had already 3,000 hits and had 500 home runs. They can use it against me. But it was at the end of my career and it was basically a lack of due diligence on my part and I basically ruined my career over a mistake that really shouldn't have happened. I've put up my numbers, and they aren't going to change."
Will his vote totals, to the positive?
A candidate must receive 75 percent of the vote from Baseball Writers' Association of America members to gain election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. No players reached that threshold in 2013. Second baseman Craig Biggio (68.2 percent), starting pitcher Jack Morris (67.7 percent) and first baseman Jeff Bagwell (59.6 percent) are the top returning vote-getters from last year's ballot. Results of the 2014 election will be announced on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Until the arrival of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa, Palmeiro was considered the most valid test case for the durability of a PED smudge because, in the view of some, Mark McGwire was a less viable Cooperstown candidate to start with.
McGwire, the Dodgers' batting coach, did briefly hold the single-season record of 70 homers and retired with a total of 583 -- but McGwire had 1,043 other hits as a lifetime .263 hitter.
Only two players with fewer than McGwire's 1,626 career hits have gained Cooperstown entrance through the front gate of BBWAA election (as opposed to via Old Timers or Veterans Committees): Jackie Robinson and Ralph Kiner. So evaluating McGwire's ballot scores -- percentages of 23.5, 23.6, 21.9, 23.7 and 19.5 -- becomes murky.
Performance puts Palmeiro in an obviously more elite company. Where does the PED issue leave him going forward?
When his suspension came down on Aug. 1, 2005 -- months after the alleged violation, after the test results were appealed and the case went through an arbitration process, and two weeks after he'd collected his 3,000th hit -- Palmeiro knew his legacy was in danger.
"Why would I do this in a season when I was going to get to 3,000 hits? It makes no sense," Palmeiro said at the time. "I would not put my career on the line. I would not put my reputation on the line and everything that I've accomplished throughout my career. ... I'm not a crazy person. I'm not stupid. This is something that's an unfortunate thing. It was an accident. I'm paying the price."
Whether the Hall of Fame vote will continue to bring him sticker shock is up to the hundreds of tenured (10-plus years) BBWAA members who do the voting. Plenty of those voters could be conflicted.
Palmeiro's career timeline was devoid of spikes. Consistency was one of his key attributes: He had 10 seasons of 37-plus homers, 10 seasons of 100-plus RBIs, 11 seasons with 30-plus doubles.
"Era domination" is viewed as one of the crucial elements of Hall of Fame worthiness, and few players ever stood out as Palmeiro did from 1993 to-2003. In that 11-season span, he hit 433 homers and drove in 1,266 runs, with a .555 slugging average that was supported by 364 other extra-base hits.
And despite the impressive power, Palmeiro had the plate discipline of a slap hitter: Only once did he strike out more than 96 times, and his walks exceeded his strikeouts in eight of his 20 seasons.
The credentials are flawless. The swan song was flawed. Hall of Fame juries can deliberate for 15 years, and the one hearing Palmeiro's case is still in its early stages -- unless it is disbanded when the 2014 class is announced.

|Anastasiya Verameyenka was on fire Fenerbahce on Wednesday, achieving a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double
Anastasiya Verameyneka produced a stellar double-double for Fenerbahce as they cruised to an 82-68 Group B success against Famila Schio who have now lost four of their last five games.
The 25-year-old from Belarus has enjoyed a terrific first season in Istanbul and her red-hot form continued in the final game of the regular season as she posted 20 points and 10 rebounds on the back of 9-for-12 floor shooting to put Schio to the sword.
The writing was on the wall for the Italian club after the opening ten minutes when Fener doubled the points tally of the visitors at 22-11, and it got worse moments later for the visitors as a score by Ieva Kublina made it 27-13.
However, this proved to be the calm before the storm which Fener served up during the third quarter, putting their foot on the accelerator as Verameyenka ended any hopes of a potential fight back by making it 61-37.
The tail wagged for Schio during the last period when they outscored their hosts 29-19, but it was too little, too late.
In addition to the excellent work of Verameyenka, there were a number of other notable contributions particularly that from Cappie Pondexter who had 14 points and six assists.
Laura Macchi and Jantel Lavender both racked up 15 points for the losing team.
Fenerbahce coach Roberto Iniquez
"We played well. Congratulatıons to my players. We were good on offensive and defensıve rebounding. We knew how good Schio are so we were wary of them."
Fenerbahce player Esmeral Tuncluer
"We played well. I am happy to wın this game as we lost against them previously."
Famila Schio coach Maurizio Lasi
"We know Fenerbahce have a great roster. They are much more organised than us. We will now look towards the playoffs and continue to work hard."
Famila Schio coach Kathy Wambe
"We lost because we played bad. We are a good team but today Fenerbahce played better than us."
