Enron's Skilling Gets Lighter Sentence
Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, 59, has been resentenced to 165 months in federal prison, a deal that will cut as much as ten years off his sentence for his role in one of the biggest business frauds in American history, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The deal could allow Skilling to be freed in 2017.
As part of the deal, Skilling will turn over some $42 million he looted from Enron employees and shareholders to a fund to repay some of those he defrauded.
"The sentence handed down ends years of litigation, imposes significant punishment upon the defendant, and precludes him from every challenging his conviction or sentence," Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman said.
There has been widespread criticism from victims of Skilling's fraud at Enron that he is getting a break because he is a well-connected, wealthy, white collar defendant.
Skilling was convicted in 2006 on conspiracy, insider trading, and making false statements to auditors.
Skilling was imprisoned, but was appealing parts of his sentence, and in 2009, an appeals court granted Skilling a new sentence, ruling that the trial court erred by increasing Skilling's sentence for having substantially jeopardized the safety and soundness of a financial institution, that is, Enron's pension plan.
The new sentence is part of a deal between Skilling and Enron to end the appeals in return for a ligfhter overall sentence.

By Chris Toronyi
I have a love hate relationship with international breaks. It's great to see our boys in action across the globe, but then there's the frightening reality that they could pick-up a nick or two that could throw their season -- and our season -- in a small rut. Oh, to be an Arsenal fan.
The real issue is it's time to over analyze the start to our season. Feel free to charge me: Guilty. That's what we do on the podcast each week, it's what journalists are paid to do and bloggers do it to drive traffic. We have two weeks to cut, slice what has transpired so far on the pitch. And to do it over and over and over. That's what we do.
Listen, I get it. It's a part of being a fan and someone who reports on the game. I just wish the break was shorter so the team doesn't lose the momentum and chemistry it has started. Plus it allows us to report and discuss the present instead of looking at back at previous games and reliving every second.
I love/hate you, International Break.
The next Arsenal game needs to hurry up and get here. Injury free of course.

I'm curious to hear about this one as well. Sounds like someone trying to get a free cutout done, but that could be just the cynic in me coming out :-D
I should also mention that the fact I dont have a bee vac is delaying the removal. I'm in the process of building one though.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Actually, our blade pitch is not terribly small. We use variable pitch, but run about an 18 foot pitch at our design point (prop advances 18 feet in one rotation). That puts the prop tips about 20 degrees out of plane - giving them an angle of attack around 5 degrees at speed.
For those of you who have a working knowledge of trigonometry the explanation for this is 'astoundingly simple' and elegant .... you (the fan blades) are essentially dividing by the sine of 'close to zero' which by mathematical solution approaches 'infinite force'.
In common laymans terms you can do the same thing with a slippery 'pumpkin seed' between two fingers: you press your thumb and forefinger together onto the slippery pumpkin seed, and the pumpkin seed 'rockets' out between your fingers as a result. In the case of the fan blades, the pitch angle of the blades is soooooo close to zero that any input/energy from the moving wheels gets 'magnified' by literally hundreds of times as an effect onto the 'blades' (less the friction of the transmission system), and the greatly magnified speed of the blades coupled with precise aerodynamics .... moves the vehicle MUCH faster than the speed of the wind .... all because the blades pitch angle is 'dividing the energy input by the sine of the pitch angle of the blades'.
Its all due to the BRILLIANT 'application of elemental trigonometry' (aka: *pumpkin seed effect*). If you would have actually understood your high school trigonometry teacher, the valid explanation of why this vehicle is covered in the early session of a simple HS trigonometry class.
The folks who did this are profound MATHEMATICIANS. Sadly, understandable mathematics isnt taught anymore in the USA; hence, the misperceptions and doubts that are being stated about this brilliant and yet simple accomplishment simply by the application of very basic engineering and mathematical fundamentals. Elegantly profound, extremely simple !!!!!
This continues until the vehicle reaches the speed of the wind at which time the apparent wind is zero and the only thing propelling the vehicle is the propeller, powered by the wheels. Now this is where I start to get confused - the vehicle continues to accelerate. What causes this acceleration?
F_thrust_prop > F_braking_wheels
Now the vehicle is moving faster than the true wind and the apparent wind is from the front of the vehicle. At this point the propeller becomes a turbine,
YouTube - DOWNWIND VMG GRATER THAN WINDSPEED (STREAM LINE)
From there it is just a small step to the DDWFTTW propeller:
YouTube - Sail_to_Prop.mov
It seems to me that if the vehicle will accelerate with an apparent headwind, that you could turn the vehicle around initially and face it into the wind. Turbine from dead start turns the wheels and it would accelerate dead into the wind. Am I missing something or would this work?

Still munching on my shoe leather. I remain unconvinced, but not unconvincible.
These are the points I'm having trouble wrapping my old balding head around:
The only wind a moving object is affected by is apparent wind. The True wind will affect apparent wind - but a moving object is only affected by apparent wind. If true wind and apparent wind are equal, the object in question is at rest. Am I correct so far?
I was confused when I initially looked at the video as I thought the propeller was acting as a turbine and turning the wheels. But now I understand that the wind is moving the entire vehicle causing the wheels to turn which in turn cause the blades to turn and thus it is a propeller. Correct so far?
The vehicle continues to accelerate with the wind propelling it and the blade also propelling it. This continues until the vehicle reaches the speed of the wind at which time the apparent wind is zero and the only thing propelling the vehicle is the propeller, powered by the wheels. Now this is where I start to get confused - the vehicle continues to accelerate. What causes this acceleration?
Okay, I'll bypass that point by assuming that the wind, which has been in the past known to fluctuate, slows down slightly. Now the vehicle is moving faster than the true wind and the apparent wind is from the front of the vehicle. At this point the propeller becomes a turbine, i.e., it is driving the wheels, rather than the wheels driving it. Is my understanding correct so far? And the vehicle continues to accelerate. I do not completely understand why it should continue to accelerate - maybe someone can explain this in terms the more simple minded (that is, those of us who eat shoes) can comprehend.
It seems to me that if the vehicle will accelerate with an apparent headwind, that you could turn the vehicle around initially and face it into the wind. Turbine from dead start turns the wheels and it would accelerate dead into the wind. Am I missing something or would this work?
Two more unrelated questions:
Can anyone suggest a good wine which would go well with shoe leather.
Can anyone tell me the correct spelling of 'unconvincible"?
The catamaran with the windmill is actually quite crude. About 25 years ago there was mention of a monohull with a windmill, and a magazine writer from Sail or Cruising World actually found the guy who built it. He got pictures and went out for a sail on it. The windmill drove a standard inboard prop shaft, and it easily went directly upwind. It was estimated that the power was about equal to a sail of area equal to the swept circle of the windmill blades.

Capt. Larry,
I was browsing Sailnet for a different reason and came across this post today. Indeed, you're gonna be tasting some shoe leather here - whether you ever admit to it or not.
I'm a cruising sailor in FL who happens to be really good friends with the guys who've set this DDWFTTW record. Believe me, they have no interest in creating any hoax, however they are both extremely interested in proving things like this.
I noticed that your current location is 'permanent vacation'. If you are cruising in FL, let me know. We'll get together and I'll explain it to you - using my hands for reference. I'm a very average guy in intelligence and was finally able to fully understand what's going on with the directly downwind cart.
If you just don't WANT to believe that it could happen, or maybe it doesn't fit into YOUR definition of a sailing vehicle, I can understand your take on it, but if you're just gonna stick to you guns on it being a hoax, well you're just wrong.
Let me know if you're in FL.
Capt G.
Any sailor have tried to go from A to B faster than the wind by tacking effectively, right? (unless sailing an old shoe) So there's more energy to it than the velocity component of the wind, E.g. a more efficient keel-shape on a boat will make it go faster and/or higher.
Wind Turbines wouldn't produce much if there weren't - and it's not perpetual motion, if the wind stops, the vehicle (or boat) stops.

Writer/director Shola Lynch follows up her 2004 documentary Chisholm '72: Unbought and Unbossed with this film centered on the struggle of educator and activist Angela Davis, an outspoken UCLA professor whose affiliation with the Communist Party and the Black Panthers landed her on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list while challenging our perceptions of political freedom in America. From her early years as a student in the U.S. and abroad to her highly publicized arrest and trial following the brazen hostage-taking and murder of Marin County judge Harold Haley in California, Lynch's film leaves no stone unturned as it explores every remarkable detail of Davis' life, and allows her to tell her own stories through a series of intimate interviews. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

'Evening, all. This is my first post, and I was hoping some of you folks might be able to give me a hand.
I decided to become an English teacher about a year ago, and am enrolled at TEFL Worldwide Prague for their August course this summer.
I'd heard they were a very well-reputed school that had a wonderful job-placement rate. I'm interested in anyone else's experiance with them; with any negatives in praticular about either the program or Prague itself. I want to be sure to prepare for any such things.
I've heard nothing but good about these folks, and am inclined to believe it. Does anyone have any helpful hints or situations to expect? Things to watch out for or look forward to?
Thanks in advance,

Getting out the vote
Yes, I know LinuxCon has come and gone, and I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing, the gala party, and with Linus being there and all. The buzz is still going, and that's good. But if you're going to a Linux show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting — along with Jon "maddog" Hall — so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!).
With the upcoming deadline for the Linux Journal Readers' Choice 2011 Awards upon us — it closes this Saturday — other bloggers have been been taking to beating the drum and holding the phone for their favorites.
Not to be outdone, of course, there are a few candidates on the LJ ballot that deserve special mention. If I were campaigning for them, I'd definitely cast votes for items in the following categories (note, however, the list of categories and software on the ballot is long, and they're not all here):
Best Linux Distribution: No question, hands down. Fedora. Judging which is the best distro is akin to picking the best ice cream flavor — each of us has our own favorites, and hopefully you'll vote for yours. Mine comes in blue, is based on Red Hat, has the best desktop background release after release (the Design Team at Fedora is the best in the FOSS realm, period), it's always rock solid, and even if I can't use the default GNOME 3 desktop, Fedora runs great under KDE or Xfce. Fedora is reaching a point now where the myth that it's "only for experience users" is falling by the wayside, and if a lack of confidence in your skills has kept you from using Fedora, you should give it a try.
Best Desktop Environment: Oh, look! A minefield! Let's skip through it! You all know how I feel about GNOME 3; the aspect that I can't use it due to older equipment moreso than anything else (if I could vote for GNOME 2.32, that would be great). KDE? I like KDE though — truth in advertising — I'm a post-KDE 4.x user and not familiar with the way things used to be (and not familiar with why there's such a hubbub about it). I don't know why Openbox and Fluxbox, both windows managers, are in this category, and why isn't there a separate WM category? How did I vote? I'm cast a vote this year for Xfce, because I'm using it on Fedora 15 and will be using it again on Fedora 16, and while it's reputation is a lightweight environment, I'm finding there's a significant degree of tweakability to it. Also, if you really like WMs, I'd vote for OpenBox.
Best Web Browser: Konqueror. Just kidding. While there are some advantages to Konqueror that do not involve Web browsing, for getting on the information superhighway I usually go with Firefox, though on the Windows box at the newspaper I use Chrome. It's a toss up between those two.
Best E-mail Client: Another minefield and another tough call. What I use most is Thunderbird, because everybody knows the 'Bird is the word, and it's always worked well for me. What has always worked well for me in the past, too, and something I've always thought was one of KDE's stars is Kmail, which deserves a vote if you're so inclined. Claws is something I'm looking to try and haven't yet, so maybe if it wows me, it can be a leading candidate for 2012.
Best IRC client: Simple — it's irssi. It's what the cool kids use, once they graduate past Xchat. Konversation gets high marks, too, and readily available on KDE. But I voted for irssi.
Best Office Suite: OK, here's where we get to make history. Vote for LibreOffice — it's OpenOffice as it should be. It would be outrageously cool if LibreOffice took home the prize in this category, for starters because it deserves it, and it would be a good nose-thumbing to Oracle as well.
Best Graphic Design Tool: All of them. I'm serious. If there's ever been a category where each of the candidates deserves to win, it's this one. GIMP finally gets a single window, I'm told, thank $DIETY, but I ended up voting for . . . Inkscape. I'm not the artist in the family; that title goes to my daughter Mimi, but having drawn a little, I do like Inkscape a lot.
Best Audio Tool: Audacity. If Carla Schroder uses it and writes a book about it, then I'm there.
Best Kid Friendly Application: Another easy one — Tux Paint. I should be ashamed to admit this, but I'm not: Ever since Mimi was younger and we used Tux Paint together when she was learning her way around a computer, I have always loved this program and I still fiddle with it from time to time when I'm not doing anything else. Also, I count Tux Paint as one of the main influences in cultivating the artistic talent Mimi has shown.
Best Game: As bad as I am at it, I still think Super Tux gets the nod here, as it's a very creative game. Truth be told, I've never played any of the games on the list, except for Tux Racer, and I know my good friend Ken Starks over at the HeliOS Project is a fan of World of Goo.
Best Database: Our first heart-versus-head conundrum. If MySQL were the best, I may not vote for it on principle, but fortunately other databases have knocked MySQL from its perch at the top. I've only used two other databases and have liked them both: PostgreSQL and MariaDB. I really want to see MariaDB do well, but PostgreSQL is clearly the best of the bunch.
Best Programming Language: Again, the ice cream comparison comes into play and in my limited programming experience, I vote for what I know best. That would be Python.
Best scripting language: bash — accept no substitutes (OK, ksh if you need to).
Best IDE: Emacs in the hands of someone who really knows what they're doing (and sadly, that's not me) is simply an amazing tool. But I'm voting for vim. I can get more done using it, and I'm never backed into a corner, as I am sometimes with Emacs. Sorry, RMS.
Best Package Management Application: If it sounds like it tastes good, you have to go with it: yum. Honorable mention goes to Synaptic.
Best Content Management System: I've used Mambo and Joomla! in the past, and those happen to be my CMS roots. However, having used Drupal over the last few months, I have to say that I've made the switch. Drupal gets my vote this year.
Best Linux Laptop Vendor/Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor/Best Linux Server Vendor: I'm lumping these three categories together because the vote is the same in each category — ZaReason. The Berkeley, Calif., outfit makes outstanding, dependable hardware that's Linux based (or if you'd prefer, no operating system) and the service is top notch. You'll have to write in ZaReason in the Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor category, but you can mark the ballot in the other two.
Best Linux Book: A real page-turner, especially if you're into audio — "The Book of Audacity," by Carla Schroder. Buy it now.
Again, there's a plethora of other categories that I haven't touched on. Polls are open until Saturday. Vote early.

CrunchBang worth more than just a test run
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
Those of you who read these hallowed pages know I have an affinity for distros that — how can I put this tactfully? — are unique and can be arguably considered as "boutique" or specialized distributions. While others may consider them as such, I don't necessarily see them that way — I liken them to modified distros in the same way a Shelby Cobra is a step above a mere Ford Mustang, with the proviso of course that ultimately, like the Shelby, they're not for everyone.
When I test these distros — as I did recently with Kororaa and Bodhi (not to mention the BlueBubble spin of Fedora 15 that Juan Rodriguez built from the ground up, nearly single-handedly) — I generally put them through their paces and, until I update them, I don't use them on a regular basis despite the fact they remain on the laptops they're tested on. Generally after the review consisting of a day or two of use, I go back to my old trusty Fedora for daily digital duties.
However, I'm on my fourth day of using CrunchBang — also known in shorthand as #! — and, for once, the temptation to use it for longer that the simple "test drive" is overwhelming, to the point where it's completely feasible that I may be using this for quite awhile.
The last time I had an opportunity to use the words "crunch" and "bang" in the same sentence, I was describing how an old pickup truck had run a red light and, not seeing it thanks to traffic in the left lane, I ran into it with my Volkswagen Jetta last January.
Yet for those of you keeping score at home, there's nothing close to resembling a crash here. CrunchBang, so says its home page, "is a Debian GNU/Linux based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable (Editor's Note: That British English for "customizable") and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance."
Without sacrificing performance — let me emphasize this for a moment, because when I first used CrunchBang, running the ThinkPad T30 from a USB stick, the performance from the live media was the fastest I've ever experienced from live media. I'll give credit to the Openbox desktop atop the Debian Squeeze for that. Further, installing it on a hard drive and running it for the last few days, the speed with which this old T30 runs is nothing short of remarkable.
For the uninitated, the Openbox desktop can take a little getting used to, with navigation being a little different than some of the other, more common desktop environments. But what you give up in lacking familiarity (albeit temporarily) you get back with speed and efficiency — I would go out on a limb and assume that the processor temperature never going over 50 has to do with the fact that the ThinkPad's not breaking a sweat thanks to the lighter desktop.
One of the features that I found astounding in CrunchBang was that the VLC Media Player, for the first time, actually worked on this old Thinkpad; I've never been able to get it to run on other distros. I watched part of "Mr. Baseball" on a laptop which had never shown a DVD before. Also, CrunchBang comes with Chromium as a web browser, with Flash support — this may not appeal to some free-as-in-freedom software advocates, but for those who absolutely, positively must have their YouTube and other Flash-driven sites, it saves those users from having to set it up themselves.
A deal-breaker that became a deal-maker: The only quirk it took awhile to overcome was not being able — at least immediately — to replace OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice. There are workarounds outlined on the CrunchBang forums, however the way I did it was to follow the instructions on the forum regarding changing a Debian repository and changing Synaptic to "Download from : Server for United States."
CrunchBang is probably not for the neophyte, but if you've been using GNU/Linux and FOSS for about a year or longer and you are comfortable tweaking your system, you should have no trouble getting up to speed on this quick distro. The site does have a caveat on the "about page" at the bottom that "CrunchBang Linux is not recommended for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. CrunchBang Linux could possibly make your computer go CRUNCH! BANG! Therefore CrunchBang Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law."
I think the lawyers made them say that, because after four days of tweaking, some of which not exactly the most advised (but nonetheless corrected), I have yet to make it go "CRUNCH! BANG!" In fact, I think I may keep the drive with this distro installed in the ThinkPad for awhile for use on a daily basis.
Finally, the naming convention for CrunchBang does not escape mention: Currently, CrunchBang is based on Debian Squeeze — keep that letter S in mind — and the name for the current CrunchBang version is Statler, as in Waldorf and Statler, the two elderly gentlemen in the balcony on "The Muppet Show."
CrunchBang is one of the more pleasant surprises on the Linux distro scene, and it's clearly worth a test drive. Or more.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|So, the heads are 429, what is the casting..D0---? or D3---? non adjustable cast iron or stamped rockers?...screw in rocker studs or pedestal style with bolts?... If memory serves, 1973 '9er's went with the pedestal style rockers...there are roller kits for those as well...I think they used the large sparkplugs for all the '9er's...sounds like it'll be a cool ride when it's completed...Cheers!
Thanks for the advice! I have a '70 Cobra Torino. I am the 3rd owner. The 2nd owner blew up the Cobra motor back in the early 80's. he replaced it w/a 351, which he blew up. This is a non-cobra 429. motor was sitting in car when I got it. just sitting, not bolted down, no trans, etc... basket case. I got it up and running, drove it a bit. It has now been sitting for 4-5 yrs. just getting back to it. it is non adjustable valve train, replace push rods to adjust. I am taking it slow on the motor now, starting w/ lightening up the valve train. that's the plan, the mechanics work hasn't started yet!
Thanks for the advice!
I think it depends on what application the heads are used for...my set of 2 stock never rebuilt 4 barrel plain Jane 429 heads are 7/16 shoulder's where the rocker ball is placed, but the threaded area is 3/8's fine thread, for the adjustable valve train...I've seen Cobra Jet heads with the larger 7/16 fine thread...Probably aftermarket rocker studs have also gone to the 7/16 size as well...These heads really like the new roller valve train with the jam nuts...have put quite a few sets on (3) on different engine combo's...Haven't head any problem with the 3/8 fine thread rocker studs...again remember the rocker ball is on the 7/16 shoulder.
I think I remember, that those early '9er's had the heavy cast iron rockers...not good for hi revs...okay for regular old-man driving...too heavy...install guide plates and a good set of aluminum roller rockers...do your homework...it was one of the reasons Ford went to the non adjustable lighter valve train...too many broken and bent pushrods...with the heavy valve rockers...Had a 71 Torino Super Cobra Jet when I was young... I sure loved that car,...my insurance company loved me for the high premiums...lol
For hi revs...try and locate the larger 7/16 threaded stud, similar, though not the same as Chevy rat motor...it's been a while since I've done those heads...4-5 yrs?...hope this helps...what's your plans on the engine? What's it going into? Cheers!
Valve nuts
quick question.... anybody know what size the rocker studs are on a '70 429? are they 3/8 or 7/16's?

The CRU hack: Context
- HARRY_read_me.txt. This is a 4 year-long work log of Ian (Harry) Harris who was working to upgrade the documentation, metadata and databases associated with the legacy CRU TS 2.1 product, which is not the same as the HadCRUT data (see Mitchell and Jones, 2003 for details). The CSU TS 3.0 is available now (via ClimateExplorer for instance), and so presumably the database problems got fixed. Anyone who has ever worked on constructing a database from dozens of individual, sometimes contradictory and inconsistently formatted datasets will share his evident frustration with how tedious that can be.
- "Redefine the peer-reviewed literature!" . Nobody actually gets to do that, and both papers discussed in that comment – McKitrick and Michaels (2004) and Kalnay and Cai (2003) were both cited and discussed in Chapter
2 of3 the IPCC AR4 report. As an aside, neither has stood the test of time.
- "Declines" in the MXD record. This decline was
hiddenwritten up in Nature in 1998 where the authors suggested not using the post 1960 data. Their actual programs (in IDL script), unsurprisingly warn against using post 1960 data. Added: Note that the 'hide the decline' comment was made in 1999 – 10 years ago, and has no connection whatsoever to more recent instrumental records.
- CRU data accessibility. From the date of the first FOI request to CRU (in 2007), it has been made abundantly clear that the main impediment to releasing the whole CRU archive is the small % of it that was given to CRU on the understanding it wouldn't be passed on to third parties. Those restrictions are in place because of the originating organisations (the various National Met. Services) around the world and are not CRU's to break. As of Nov 13, the response to the umpteenth FOI request for the same data met with exactly the same response. This is an unfortunate situation, and pressure should be brought to bear on the National Met Services to release CRU from that obligation. It is not however the fault of CRU. The vast majority of the data in the HadCRU records is publicly available from GHCN (v2.mean.Z).
- Suggestions that FOI-related material be deleted … are ill-advised even if not carried out. What is and is not responsive and deliverable to an FOI request is however a subject that it is very appropriate to discuss.
- Fudge factors (update) IDL code in the some of the attached files calculates and applies an artificial 'fudge factor' to the MXD proxies to artificially eliminate the 'divergence pattern'. This was done for a set of experiments reported in this submitted 2004 draft by Osborn and colleagues but which was never published. Section 4.3 explains the rationale very clearly which was to test the sensitivity of the calibration of the MXD proxies should the divergence end up being anthropogenic. It has nothing to do with any temperature record, has not been used in any published reconstruction and is not the source of any hockey stick blade anywhere.
Further update: This comment from Halldór Björnsson of the Icelandic Met. Service goes right to the heart of the accessibility issue:
Re: CRU data accessibility.
National Meteorological Services (NMSs) have different rules on data exchange. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) organizes the exchange of "basic data", i.e. data that are needed for weather forecasts. For details on these see WMO resolution number 40 (see http://bit.ly/8jOjX1).
This document acknowledges that WMO member states can place restrictions on the dissemination of data to third parties "for reasons such as national laws or costs of production". These restrictions are only supposed to apply to commercial use, the research and education community is supposed to have free access to all the data.
Now, for researchers this sounds open and fine. In practice it hasn't proved to be so.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by missflick, Dec 21, 2011.
Neat. Go to www.google.ca (or com) and type "let it snow". See what happens.
It appears to work (in a slightly different manner) for Google using every country's Internet code. I tried it for www.google.com.sa (Saudi Arabia) and www.google.bf (Burkina Faso), and
after I hit the "Defrost" button
the same thing happened!
Fun! I was just lamenting the lack of snow outside.
It even lets you "draw" on the "window" of the screen.
Doesn't work for me - I'm in the US and tried both Canada's and the US version.
It depends on your browser...ie, it doesn't work on IE but it works on Firefox.
Doesn't work on Safari, either.
Try "Hanukkah."
See, for me it worked on IE but not on Firefox. Random...but very cool!!! I showed it off to my students and they were pretty impressed.
It worked for me with Safari.
After trying (and failing) with IE, I did get it to work on Chrome.
it works on Chrome for me! fun!
Works on Firefox and Safari for me. That's cool. Better on my computer than in the driveway to be shovelled.
How cute!
type in "defrost" when the screen is too full! (my tweener showed me this!)
It isn't supposed to work on IE or Opera. Chele615, that is a fluke.
I use Internet Explorer and it works perfectly fine.
It worked at home on my mac (Safari)
I don't know if it was discussed here, but last month the net was all googling "do a barrel row".
Missflick, this is so cool! Thank you for the link!
I just did that. I didn't even get it all typed in...
I love that if you type in Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa you get a lights or candles or something. Festive!
Works fine on IE for me - all three computers. Doesn't work on Palm OS.
It uses a script, so if your computer has a script blocker running, it won't work.
It doesn't work on IE for me at work. Nothing much does. I like what they do to make me smile.
You can also type in "askew"

Having problem with epoxy primer......
Last week I stripped my hood and used naval jelly hood to get rid of the rust and crow checked paint.Thursday I finished cleaning up the hood and sprayed it with two coats of Omni MP172 Epoxy primer. The day was about 70-75 degrees when I sprayed the primer. After spraying the primer I let the hood set out in the sun for about 5 hours. Fast forward, five days later the primer on the hood has hardened to the touch but still will scratch with a fingernail. I figured I would DA it with 180 and fix the dings and dents. When I tried to DA the hood it kept loading up the paper and throwing little balls of primer. I finally got the hood sanded down real well and figured maybe it would be ok to fix the dents. After applying the filler, I decided to scrape off a few of the filler goobers with a scraper. When I started to do this the filler came off but it took the primer with it. I know something is wrong with what I did and know this is not going to work. Do I need to strip the hood back down and start from scratch or is this normal? This is the first time I have tried epoxy primer, all I can say is I am really disappointed with it. Here is the details for everybody. The nights were cold and I didn't keep my garage warm. Number two is, before I sprayed the epoxy primer I sanded the hood down with 120 grit on a DA. I never have used epoxy primer before, I was trained old school and learned to fix dents on bare metal and then prime it with a 2K primer. I have never had any problems with my old ways, and figured I would try the new school method. I know something is wrong , so let me know what I did wrong and what I need to do to remedy this problem.
It sounds to me like one of two things. A. it has not had long enough at a high enough temperature to cure yet. or B. you did not clean the hood well enough before you sprayed it.
Naval jelly is nasty stuff, it works well, yes, but, it is a real pain to get it all off the panel. And, MP172 has a 1 week window at 75 degrees. But, because you say it is not sticking when you put filler on it tell's me, You didn't get it clean. I'd say, sand it all back off, clean very thoroughly with water (yes, water) then wax and grease remover, then try again. Remember that you can wipe your filler right over it (within a week) without sanding. And I've used MP172 several times and it works.
After I used the naval jelly I washed it with water, I then wiped it down with lacquer thinner. I then let the hood dry and then sanded it down with 120 grit on a DA. I then used a final wash before I primed it. I don't think it was dirty, but it probably was. I was figuring it was more of a temperature issue, since my garage was not maintained at 75 degrees for the last week.
Either that epoxy just wasn't cured yet (epoxy is a slow curing product) or you mixed wrong/bad can of activator, or the epoxy went dormant cause wasn't kept above 60 long enough. Isn't the cure time on omni longer then 5 days, I don't know how much placing in the sun would shorten cure time. Or its not adhering to the navel jellyed surface. I'll let others see what they think, but several things could be the problems. Most Epoxys are not normally easy sanding, and has a slow cure time, so that could be why it is was balling up your paper. It will look like its not adhering well/scratching until it has time to cure. Wetsanding probably would have worked better though. But for the ones that say you must sand epoxy for filler to adhere, then why when he scraped the filler did the epoxy go with it, wouldn't the filler just pop off from the epoxy? But my opinion is the epoxy itself wasn't fully cured or it couldn't adhere to what was under it.
Lacquer primer isn't really cleaning the surface. It flashes off too quick and you can't really doesn't get rid of the contaminants. You need a wax and grease remover which is what is designed for the purpose. W&G remover will float contaminants, and say wet longer allowing you to follow the wiping it on with another clean rag before it has dryed.
I used PPG DX330 wax and grease remover before I shot the primer. I used the laquer thinner after I washed the hood with water. There was a day difference between washing the hood with water, laquer thinner and sanding it and wiping it down with DX330 and priming it.
DX330 is way way slow. That could actually be your problem. If you didn't get it all off. :pain: As Kenseth said, MP172 doesn't sand real good anyway, but, It does stick.
Its a 100% temperature issue.
Now being epoxy and not getting a chance to cure it will need more heat and for a lot longer period of time to finish curing out then a say a 2K primer painted the same time.
Past experience with these kind of problems I will suggest you need the panel exposed to around 140 degrees for four-five hours or a couple of weeks (minimum) at 75 degrees and up.
Here is something that could have contributed to your problem also.
Were having a cold spell here and I keep the one garage heated at all times due to the amount of paint I have in the garage.
The temp is set at 63 degrees because I'm not working on anything right now.
I just now took the laser reader and a gallon of paint on the work bench gave a reading of 63 degrees, a gallon in a box on the cement floor red 55 degrees and a new fender setting on the floor read 53 degrees.
If you have had the epoxy setting there for a while and its 55 degrees or less it is just plain not going to kick.
Thanks for all the replies and help on this. This was my first time using epoxy primer, all I can say if you don't screw up you are not learning anything. My plan of attack is to take the hood back down to bare metal and start over, hopefully everything goes well this time around.
This issue came up awhile back I recall with the Omni epoxy and it being "soft" as well as lacquer thinner wiping it off.
Nature of that beast I believe.
Anybody bookmark that one?
Epoxy is THE best thing for coating bare steel, but as far as cure rate goes, it can be a bit unforgiving. I would suggest that everyone doing refinish work in colder weather buy an infrared thermometer. I have one now and couldn't live without it during the winter. It's really important to keep metal temps above 60°F, As Barry says you can go down to 55° but in my experience the cure rate is VERY slow below 60°, plus there is always a margin for error, and as far as I know, somewhere in the mid 50's, catalyzing of the material just plain STOPS.
Yup I agree it's either a temperature issue before and after spraying, old epoxy catalyst that has gone bad or a combination of the two. Your cleaning methods should have worked just fine and 120 grit scratches should have provided enough texture although 80 grit would have been better. I think it's time you shoot a test panel in good temperatures with good cure temps and see if the primer locks up and hardens good.
hello every one

STEP 12: Apply the basecoat (PPG DBU Deltron®)*.
STEP 13: Apply clearcoat (PPG DCU 2020)*.
STEP 14: Polish to desired finish.
thanks for the posts all... Not trying to hi-jack thread but seems appropriate to ask... I am about to have my car ( 51 woodie) sandblasted and then it will be epoxied...
Can anyone recommend a good 'fast' drying epoxy so I don't run into these issues?
Thanks guys ..you all are making the site a big bonus to me and I really appreciate you.
220 is too fine for epoxy in my opinion. i 80 grit everything before epoxy.
temp is the leading cause for all types of paint failures .
i would move up to a better quality epoxy if it were me.

Undergraduate Program
CS Major Requirements for Students Entering in Fall 2012
This template is provided as a convenience to students. In the event of a discrepancy between this web page and other information sources, the final authority is the catalog that was published in the year the student entered.
In addition to the semester by semster template which appears below, a checklist of requirements grouped by subjects is available as a Word document.
Courses do not need to be taken according to the above schedule, as long as all courses are taken and prerequisites are met.
A total of at least 128 credits are required for graduation.
Note that credit cannot be obtained for CSCI-1100 Computer Science I after CSCI-1200 Data Structures has already been passed.
A four-credit course chosen from the following: astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth and environmental science, and physics. The Pass/No Credit option cannot be used for this course. The course ERTH-1030 cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.
Computer Science
Three additional computing courses of 3 or 4 credits each at the 4000 or 6000 level. For this purpose, courses in the series CSCI-4xxx, CSCI-6xxx. ECSE-46xx, and ECSE-47xx may be used, excluding ECSE-4630, ECSE-4640, and ECSE-4720. ECSE-4490 may also fulfill this requirement. Reading and independent study courses and courses taken as Pass/No Credit cannot be used.
Mathematics / Logic
Two additional courses chosen from PHIL-2140, PHIL-4140, PHill-4420, any course in MATH and MATP at the 2000 level or above. Independent study courses cannot be used to satisfy this option. The Pass/No Credit option cannot be used for these courses.
Notes for dual majors
These notes apply even if you used to be a dual major but now CSCI is your only major.
HASS Core Requirement
As part of their B.S. degree program, all Rensselaer undergraduates take a selection of H&SS courses referred to as the H&SS core. This core is the foundation of undergraduate education. In it, students develop the skills necessary for personal and professional success, and they also begin to explore the social and cultural areas of study and issues of debate that are important in the global society of the twenty-first century.
The core consists of 24 credit hours, or six courses distributed to afford students a breadth of perspective across the various disciplines as well as a more in-depth experience in at least one area. Engineering students automatically take two of the 24 credit hours as professional development in their engineering design sequence and take a two-credit H&SS professional development course in their junior year.
To ensure breadth in the core courses, students must select as least two courses (eight credit hours) from each of the lists below.
H&SS interdisciplinary courses may be substituted for courses in either category.
To ensure depth in the H&SS core, students must also take at least two courses within a single area code (STSH and STSS can be counted as a single area), at least one of which is taken at an advanced level (above 1000). No course within the depth sequence may be taken as Pass/No Credit.
No more than three 1000-level H&SS courses may be applied toward the H&SS core requirement, no more than six credits may be taken as Pass/No credit, and at least one course (four credits) must be at the 4000 level.
Students entering Rensselaer in their first year may transfer up to two H&SS courses (up to eight credit hours) toward their H&SS core requirement (including Advanced Placement credit).
Transfer students from an accredited collegiate program who have completed at least one college year but who come to Rensselaer with first-year status may qualify for additional core transfers at the discretion of the H&SS curriculum adviser. Transfer students entering Rensselaer at the sophomore level or above are not limited in the number of courses they may transfer for H&SS core credit. All others must take at least 16 credit hours of their H&SS core at Rensselaer.
Enrolled Rensselaer students wishing to take an H&SS course for credit at another accredited institution must obtain prior approval for the course from the core curriculum adviser. Applicants must furnish a catalog description of the proposed course and a completed copy of Rensselaer's Transfer Credit Approval form to the core curriculum adviser. A maximum of two courses (up to eight credit hours) of transfers is allowed (including AP courses).
Communication Intensive Requirement
Every undergraduate student who entered in Fall 2006 or later, excluding transfer students, is required to successfully complete at least 2 communication intensive courses (chosen from the approved list) as part of the requirements for a Bachelor's Degree.
Note: All courses approved as Communication Intensive include a "writing intensive" component.
View the Current Communication Intensive Course Listing
Students may not use AP credit, SAT scores or transfer credit from another university to satisfy the communication intensive requirement.
Transfer students, regardless of year of entry, must meet the Writing Intensive Requirement

Replica Handbags Transaction History Feedback
This purse is just the right size to carry for every occasion any time anywhere. The price was unbelievable and I am already looking for next one. The workmanship and quality of this bag is wonderful. The price was just great. I love having both shoulder strap and handles. I absolutely have found nothing defect my bag to complain about. Thanks.
I used this right away with my Chanel Le Boy and I am not finding an issue with this handbag at all. In fact I love it. I have other Chanel handbags but I do not have a wallet to compare it with. With that said, it matches perfectly, nobody will question this wallet. Trust that nobody is looking at your wallet that closely for minor authenticity flaws that I don't see myself!
My LV Epi Leather Beige Bag has been a stunner of a bag since it arrived. I get tons of compliments on it every day. Everyone asks about the designer design since it stands out from the usual monogram canvas. The quality is just as comparable as the originals and no-one can tell the difference. I couldn't be happier with my bag. All the hardware and handles are crafted exquisitely. This was a great purchase.
Fast delivery, the quality is AAA love it!!! Looks just like the picture, looking forward to buy more bags, super recommend!!!! Thank you
If you're like me, you're definitely skeptical about buying unauthentic replica handbags because the last thing I want is for someone to spot one out! But this bag looks amazing! No one would ever be able to tell. I compared it with my best friends authentic one and we couldn't find any differences! The handles are sturdy and there's not a stitch out of place. I purchased this Replica Hermes Kelly 32cm Shoulder Bag Dark Blue Original Leather K32 Gold
The quality of the bag is great it is exactly alike the original bag portrayed the only thing I wasn't so fond of is the gold hardware on the front where is says the brand you have to be super careful not to scratch it against anything because it will get scratched very easily. Overall I love my bag. Thank You!!!
I love love love this bag and love it even more that I don't have to pay $2000 for it!!! The quality of the bag is superb and very well crafted. Thank you!!!
Looks and feels like the real thing. Is big enough to fit all my cards and such in. Nice and roomy. Just the right size. Don't think anything could be changed to make it better. Quality is top notch.
Expectations were met with this wallet. However the cell phone case clearly looked like a knock off since the Louis Vuitton writing was behind the logo. I would recommend the wallet. Did not look like a knockoff.
I am very pleased with my purchase!! I will be ordering more From designersale.ru. Excellent customer services. The handles on my bag had some uneven stitching and sent me replacement handles at no charge and very quickly too. The leather material is very good. I will buy again!
This bag has been great and I have gotten so many compliments. I do wish the interior was light color, but I knew this going in. Quality of bag is great. The item which I purchased is so great....I love it so much.
I love this bag. However, if I had one negative thing to say, it would be that I prefer a longer drop for the adjustable handles. But, other than that, love this spacious and roomy handbag!
I use this bag everyday. It looks just like the real thing. Very durable. I love my new bag and will be ordering again very soon. Customer service is excellent.
designersale.ru is awesome. The products look like the real LV bag. I strongly recommend designersale.ru 100%. There is no negative.
You can tell the quality of your merchandise from the minute you open the package! Indistinguishable from the original from what I can tell. I will definitely be purchasing from purse valley a lot!
This was my first purchase from designersale.ru, and after receiving this handbag, I will definitely be buying more! The quality is top notch-every part of this handbag is identical!. The weight of the handbag immediately likens that of a LV bag and the quality of the leather and braided handle is exceptional. I have an Louis Vuitton handbag at a fraction of the cost. I can't find one thing wrong with it! Well worth the money just for the quality alone of a leather bag! I'll be purchasing more!! Thanks for Fake Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Canvas Top Handle Bag M41337!
The bag is big enough for all my stuff even a cardigan!I absolutely adore it. The only thing i think could be better is if the handle be made lighter.
I love this bag it's big enough to fit any and everything! Sure the bag seems flimsy at first but once you put your things in it's not bad at all!
I'm in love with this replica chanel bag! I was cautious about the quality of the bag before i ordered but it turned out to be a great decision to order via this website. The quality is amazing! I can't tell the difference from the original. Don't hesitate to buy. It's such an elegant bag.
I've been waiting for my bag to come in the mail and it finally did today!! I'm seriously stunned. This bag is simply amazing and looks IDENTICAL to the real one. The quality of this bag is great and so perfect. Honestly, just so excited to use it for the first time!! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of delivery time. Will definitely be ordering again :)
This bag is beautiful, I love the size and the feel of it is just amazing. This bag can be used from day to night and for everything in between. When I carry it always pulls my outfits together and people can't take their eye off. Everyone need to buy this bag it great addition to any handbag collection.
I absolutely love my new Bloomsbury side purse it looks identical to real one. The material feels excellent the color is perfect. The logo is prefect. I just love designersale.ru and the quality the customer service they offer you. It's the Best website. I use this purse when I don't want to carry my big Hermes purse it's very convenient it's practical and it's very spacious I love it. Everything is great about this purse. I highly recommend this purse to anybody. The price is perfect. Thank you designersale.ru. I love it so very much.
I love this bag- the chemical smell was a bit strong but left it open in the basement for a couple of days and you could really smell the leather. I will definitely purchase again from designersale.ru. Exceptional customer service!!
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a large wallet that can carry everything. I used this as a clutch on a cruise when I didn't want to carry a purse around, and it was perfect. The only thing I might complain about is that the credit card slots are very tight at first, it needs to be worn and used a bit before the credit cards go in and out of the slots easily. I would buy this again and again. Looks so real!
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bag. I ordered a real one from Hermes and actually sent it back after seeing the quality of this replica. I will purchase again!
My handbag came in with in a week of ordering it! Amazing customer service and this is my second bag I ordered from this site! I'm very happy and it looks amazing! I'll be ordering a lot more from the site!! Highly recommended! Best Chanel!!!
I love this wallet!! Not only is the design amazing, but I feel great carrying this wallet and it holds everything I need my wallet to hold. all my cards, cash, receipts, checkbook and change. If you are looking for a wallet that has it all and looks amazing, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this wallet!! Fake Louis Vuitton Tribal Mask Chaine Purse M60797 Red
This was my first bag from designersale, I was over the moon with the quality, I know there are lots of sites to choose from and when ordering for the first time you do wonder what the bags will be like, dont hesitate the service was great and top quality, I bought 4 handbags and 2 wallets.
i recieved my Chanel MINI Flap Bag about 3nd a half weeks ago and i didnt give a review rite away only because i wanted to wear it a couple of times before i gave one and honey let me tell you this is my first replica purse and i am very pleased defiantly will be ordering again :)
I get this as a free gift with one of my purchases, and I really like it! It will be perfect for travel.
Cute and simple. Holds everything. Bought one for me and one for a friend.
At first was very skeptical about buying this wallet but it was so worth it. It looks, feels, and smells like a real Chanel. I've had it for about two months and it looks brand new. At first it was a little stiff but after being in my back pocket for a while it became much easier to open/close. Awesome wallet overall, I would definitely buy from designersale.ru again!
This is a perfect clutch for carrying to dinner or night on the town. Super classy!
Cute bag. I would suggest using the leather strap. The gold chain (shoulder strap) is definitely of a bit poor quality but overall this is a nice purse and a great size for going out.
I recieved this passport as a free gift for my purchase and I was really shocked when I saw it for the first time: it is really good quality and it looks the same as the original! It comes with the box and the dust bag too! Thank you designersale! Your products are lovely! I will definetely buy in designersale.ru again! 100% Satisfaction!
Just received my purse a few days ago, and I was a little skeptical about ordering this purse due to some of the reviews, however, the purse looks wonderful!! This bag has exceeded my expectation. I hope the quality is as good as the purse looks. I am very very pleased thus far.
I love this handbag. Being my first order from designersale.ru as a test, I was nervous but I'm so glad I did my research and took the chance. Very good quality replicas. I've had this Chanel CF bag for almost a month and I am very happy. My second order arrived today and I am thrilled. I will be a continued customer. Customer Service is pretty awesome too.
I love this bag! It's so good everyone thinks it's real, although the red on the side is a little bright no one can tell. So happy I bought it.
I love this! I have a real hermes birkin handbag and I like this one even better because I don't feel I have to be as careful with it! It looks and feels just the same. My one suggestion? Add the label so it is more realistic.
How close this is to the original makes me worry that the site could soon become so popular that big lawsuits will start flooding in. The quality of my wallet was great, slight smell at the start but sure it will go soon.
Wow!! This is by far my favorite purchase ever. It's so beautiful. Excellent quality. You won't regret this purchase. Totally worth it. Love this real replica chanel!
First order with designersale and I was absolutely impressed!! I am an authentic LV purchaser. Never thought replicas could come close to real ones I was totally wrong. Very hard to distinguish designersale.ru purse to authentic. I have spent $1000 on designersale.ru items since receiving my first order. I am now a loyal designersale customer. Thank you designersale!!! This site is Saving me thousands dollars :)
Everything is perfect about this bag,is exactly like the original one , i will sure purchase lot more Gucci bags from this website also because of the perfect customs service thank very much.
I got this bag as a gift for my friend. My friend was so happy when she got it. she could not believe that i did not buy it in the LV store. she said that it looked like the authentic one! im happy she's happy with it! I think she's now ordering from you guys after she knew where i got mine. thanks for designersale.ru!
I absolutely love this Hermes bag, I couldn't be happier with the great quality! Very pleased! Great for everyday wear. Best bags for me.
Such a great product. arrive after 11 days or ordering. Brilliant quality and is all packaged well with plastic over handles and straps folded. Dust bag and other receipts etc are great. Overall excellent product and would definately buy from here again.
I love this handbag!! Not only is the design amazing, but I feel great carrying this bag and it holds everything I need my bag to hold, all my cards, cash, dressing, receipts, checkbook and change. If you are looking for a bag that has it all and looks amazing, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this handbag!!
I bought this bag after reading the great reviews. After receiving the bag, I had to take pictures to send to my boss because she also wanted to buy one. Everything about this LV bag is great it is just what I wanted. Thank you.
I was skeptical about this website but I was not disappointed when I received my purses today. Details in the bags are great. I love it.
I am so happy i ordered from this site ..í finally received my handbag today and compared it to the official site and they are identical. I love them and will order again!!! Great LV Replica!!!
I like the wallet, it really look great. The leather also look authentic. I am extremely pleased with every purchase from designersale.ru! I have purchased 2 wallets and 1 handbag and everything was amazing and great prices and great shipping!!
I purchased this a few weeks ago. I haven't used it because it is a large wallet, more like something to carry on its own. It is a bit heavy to carry it in a purse. The quality of the item is great though. If you are looking for a nice zippy wallet to carry on a night out, I think this is it. It has more than enough room for everything you would put in it, maybe even your phone. Overall, I would recommend this item and this company.
I just got this bag today and I'm very impressed it looks like the real thing ... Details in the bags are great. I love it. .... I will be buying again ...
Quite good replica and very good quality! Very light weight which I definitely appreciate and huge capacity to put ALL my stuff in it. I LOVE the color! All my friends loved it at first sight, and of course I told them about designersale.ru and told them that they would love it for the quality, for the great variety of models and brands, for the prices and offers and for the fast delivery. I'll definitely get some other color!
I probably like a lot of you out there was skeptical that something like this was most likely too good to be true. I decided to test the waters by purchasing just this small cross body bag. Once I received it, I couldn't be more pleased. It has the exact authentic looking design as the original and the quality is there. I use it for a semi casual outing or it works perfectly with a dressier night out. I will be making many more purchases after this first successful one!
I'M definitely happy with my chanel replica! Excellent replica on the outside and pretty good in the inside. Non of my friends distinguished if it was a real chanel or not, which is really what I expected! I use it almost every day, even now in summer. Great replica, excellent quality, EXCELLENT delivery, it arrived much earlier than what I expected. I told my very close friends to visit designersale.ru and told them that they would definitely receive the product and that the product was exactly as described on the web.
I could not be MORE HAPPY with the customer service, and quality of my bag. I was so exited when I got this I cried. And I cried even more tears when I realized how perfect it was. I will never buy a replica handbag from any other site. NO ONE ELSE will ever compare. I'm so happy! Thank you everyone at designersale.ru for being so helpful and awesome!
A lovely addition to your accessories wardrobe. Pale gold shoulder strap chain could be worn with silver or gold thanks to the paleness of the strap. The bag is small so you can carry keys, credit card and lipstick max. That or a small wallet. However, it really is lovely piece. Subtle logo and perfect replica of Chanel's masterpiece.
The Gucci messenger bag is everything it appears to be and more. I'm quite skeptical of ordering on-line, but I took a chance with designersale.ru. To my delight, they went above and beyond my customer service expectations. The company tracked my order ensuring that I received my product with follow up e-mails! The bag arrived just as it looked in the picture. The quality is very fine. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and WILL buy again from designersale.ru in the future.
I was looking for a fashionable , good quality diaper bag that can hold everything I need for a day out. This was perfect! It's very roomy and fits everything I need without looking like a regular "dowdy" diaper bag and has lots of useful pockets. it serves dual purposes as both my bag and a diaper bag, I love the side handles that fits perfectly to my stroller hooks. I LOVE this bag & constantly receive compliments , Well worth a purchase :)
The bag has a very good quality and it looks 99% the same as the original. all our friends couldn't even tell if it is a replica. I'm really please with the bag, big enough to fit all baby needs and really easy to carry. Thank you.
The zippy wallet has it all. A lot of space to fit it all!! As always cannot beat the quality and the customer service is impeccable.
If I didn't know that this was an LV neverfull MM replica... I would have though that this was the real thing. So impressed by the craftsmanship of this purse. It is awesome!!! saving to buy an LV wallet. I'm a very happy customer.
I rate this product as perfect because it is a perfect replica chanel. The problem is that it doesn't open wide enough and isn't big enough for me. If I had studied the dimensions closer I would have been able to figure this out before I bought it.
So happy with my purchase! This is my weekend bag. It is so like the original. I have an original hermes kelly and you cannot tell the difference. Will surely order for more.
Just received it today. I am very much impressed with the purchase. Bought it blindly just by trusting the other positive reviews about it and it is sure a great product. Very much impressed. Just looks a little bigger then the original one to me, but cant really tell unless you have them side by side.
This bag is sooo cute! It matches with everything. It cames wrapped up nicely so it wouldnt be damaged coming all the way from China. I live in a small town in a small state in the US and it arrived right on time at my doorstep. This bag is beautiful and matches the real bags to a tee.
I have a lot of very nice and very real chanel 2.55 bags. I am having so much fun with this one. Everyone loves the look, and it is so easy, very open, lots of room, and just beautiful.
The bag is very impressive. It's my first time buying replica so I did not expect it to be "the same" as the original but it is 99% like the original... if you don't use the strap, it's 99,8% the same thing. The chanel bag is beautiful and it's impressive how it's packed and all the papers and cards that come with it. This was sort of a test, a first buy and it's approved. I can't wait to buy more!
I was skeptical about ordering. Then when I did i was amazed with customer service . They were pleasant. Very fast delivery . I was shocked bag looks great perfect stiching and good hardware. I will definitely buy from here again.
I am so in love with my new bag! I got it as a gift and it is amazing! I am so in love with it! Totally recommend this page! Great customer service and good quality!
I simply adore this Kelly bag!!!!! I live this company always buy from them. Great quality!!!!!Thumbs up!!!!!!
I ordered this wallet first as a test. I LOVE it and ordered so much more. Awesome company and GREAT products!
Perfect!!! Just like the real bag!

|Typically we spend most of the real estate on this blog talking about cloud computing and specifically, IBM Workload Deployer. However, I am hoping that this week you permit me to take a bit of a detour to discuss a very important new announcement. Last week, IBM announced the early availability of the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha. In all fairness, your response may be 'You guys always have WAS Alphas. Why should I care about this one?' I have two words for you: Liberty Profile.
|Based on my own experience in the IBM labs and my conversations with numerous enterprise developers out there, I think I understand many of the needs to create an efficient development environment. Developers need tools and runtimes that are lightweight, easy to install, simple to configure, and fast to recycle or otherwise update. Enhancements in our WebSphere Application Server v8.0 took many of these concerns head on with features such as directory-based install and drastically improved server startup times. The new v8.5 Alpha, and specifically the Liberty Profile, extend this developer focus even further.
|The Liberty Profile is a lightweight, fast, and easy to use application runtime that you can download for free by visiting the WASdev community site. The design of the runtime is best described as fit-for-purpose and you configure it by selectively enabling and disabling features based on application need. For example, you may enable the servlet, JPA, and JSP features, or you may decide you only need to enable the servlet feature of the runtime. It is completely up to you! In addition to this innovative new runtime, the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha also includes free tools for Eclipse. These tools make it simple to create Liberty Profile server instances, start server instances, stop server instances, install applications, and remove applications. In fact, you can do all of this and even download and install the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha without ever leaving your Eclipse workspace! Check out the demonstration below to see an example of installing and using the new Alpha.
|I really hope that you will participate in the new WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha. The setup process that includes both tools and runtime will take just a few minutes of your time, and leaves but a small footprint on your machine (the Liberty Profile of the WAS v8.5 Alpha is only ~50 MB unzipped). In the meantime, you can find more information about the Alpha on the WASdev site or in the new Information Center. Finally, don't forget to join in on the conversation on the WASdev forum!
