El Segundo, Calif. - May 19, 2003 -A pplied Wave Research, Inc. (AWR(TM)) a leading provider of high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA) tools, today announced Analog Office(TM) software, for next generation analog and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) designs, focused on total RF closure.
The Analog Office solution is the first complete IC design system in over a decade that is specifically architected and optimized from the ground up for analog and RFIC designs. The solution boasts an industry-first, concurrent interconnect-driven and RF-aware, design methodology in a unified design environment that delivers unprecedented ease-of-use, interactivity, and openness. The Analog Office design suite is fully integrated into existing digital and mixed signal IC design flows and enables analog and RFIC design engineers to significantly shorten their development cycles and speed wireless products to market.
"Unlike existing solutions that were built a decade ago on 'digital-centric' databases, the Analog Office design suite is built upon a ground breaking software architecture and openness," said James Spoto, president and CEO of AWR. "Together with an innovative RF-centric data model, the solution provides an entirely new IC design system specifically focused on solving gigahertz analog RFIC challenges. The Analog Office product embodies years of knowledge in RF, microwave, and millimeter wave applications and delivers a new level of design automation and productivity not possible with other EDA tools on the market today."
RF Closure
The Analog Office design system addresses high-frequency impairments that force the need to obtain complete "RF closure" between the RFIC's system and circuit, electrical and physical, and design and test activities before commitment to costly IC implementation. Failing to achieve rapid "RF closure" during product development can result in expensive rework and fatal product-to-market delays.
Concurrent Interconnect-Driven/RF-Aware Design Methodology
Integral to the Analog Office software is an innovative RF-aware design methodology built around the Intelligent Net(TM) or iNet technology. Unlike existing "net" constructs built on a "digital-centric" data model, the Analog Office iNet solution is an RF-accurate net model with multiple levels of abstraction, ranging from:
iNet technology provides concurrent and real-time connectivity information between the schematic and layout representations, eliminating the need for a serial post-layout connectivity extraction step. Full control of simulation and analysis can be applied to iNet technology, in the same manner as is applied to all other devices in the design, ensuring complete RF design closure.
Complete Front-to-Back Analog and RFIC Design System
The Analog Office product provides a single environment to fully interact with a comprehensive and powerful set of integrated tools for top-down and front-to-back analog and RFIC design. The toolset spans the entire IC design flow, from system-level to circuit-level design and verification, including:
Coupled with industry leading semiconductor foundry design kits for silicon germanium (SiGe), and RF complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes as well as gallium arsenide (GaAs), Analog Office software is the first completely new system in over a decade delivering concept-to-verification design capabilities.
Powerful Simulation Technologies
The Analog Office solution offers a comprehensive set of simulation technologies including:
The Analog Office's integrated simulation technology allows users to combine simulation techniques while using a consistent set of validated models. A great deal of focus was placed on developing models, libraries, and measurements to ensure complete compatibility and seamless integration between frequency and time-domain engines. Together with the extensive waveform display and analysis capabilities, the Analog Office simulation system provides both accurate analysis and one of the highest verification performances in today's industry.
Physical Layout with Automatic Placement and Routing, Integrated DRC and Embedded 3-D Extractor
The Analog Office package offers a fully interactive custom layout tool with integrated device-level, auto-placement, and auto-routing features to speed up the creation of analog and RF circuit blocks and chips. A fully integrated DRC ensures the physical layout being created always meets the process design rules, resulting in a correct-by-design, error-free layout. At every step during the physical design process, concurrent simulation and analysis can be invoked on schematic or layout, since the underlying data model, including the iNet data structure, is continuously updated in real time. To ensure proper modeling of nets in gigahertz physical layout, the Analog Office design system also includes an embedded 3-D critical net field simulator for creating very accurate, capacitively coupled or inductively coupled, SPICE model of selected nets on the design.
Analog Office software provides IC designers a complete physical design system to fully implement their analog and RFICs within a single design environment, eliminating the need for switching between multiple environments and databases.
Price and Availability
AWR will release Analog Office 2003 design suite to customers in Q3 2003. The product supports Windows NT4, 2000, and XP. U.S. list prices for yearly, time-based licenses range from $8,000 - $40,000 depending upon configurations. A LINUX version of the software will also be available at a later date.

Philippe Pot
Philippe Pot (1428–1493) was a Burgundian nobleman, military leader, and diplomat. He was the seigneur of La Roche and Thorey-sur-Ouche, a Knight of the Golden Fleece, and the Grand Seneschal of Burgundy.
Born in 1428 at the Château de la Rochepot,[1] he was the grandson of Régnier Pot, a Crusader, knight of the Golden Fleece, and the chamberlain of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Philip's grandson and heir, Philip the Good, served as Philippe's godfather. Educated at the ducal court in Dijon, and knighted 11 June 1452 before the battle of Ruppelmonde against the insurgents of Ghent,[2] Philippe, praised by contemporary chroniclers, became chief advisor of the dukes of Burgundy and was deeply involved in all their diplomacy.
Philippe was sent by Philip the Good as an ambassador to London in 1440, where he procured the release of Charles of Orléans, a prisoner since 1415 and the cousin of Charles VII of France, for 200,000 écus d'or. Charles in turn agreed to marry Mary of Cleves, Philip's niece.
In 1446, Philippe obtained the hand in marriage of Catherine of Valois for the Count of Charolais, the future Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold. When Catherine died in 1450, Philippe obtained another French princess, Isabelle of Bourbon, for Charles. The marriage took place in 1454. In December 1456 Duke Philip recompensed Philippe with the grant of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois (which Philippe restored and fortified, giving it the appearance it retains today)[3] and in May 1461, with the Golden Fleece at the Saint-Omer session. In 1464 he was granted the title Grand Chamberlain, and in 1466 was given the lordship of Walloon Flanders (Lille, Douai, and Orchies). After the deaths in 1467 of both Philip the Good and Isabelle of Bourbon, Philippe Pot negotiated a third match for his new patron Charles the Bold with Margaret of York, a union which had been opposed by Philip. In 1468 the marriage sealed an alliance between England and Burgundy. To have Philippe nearby him at Brussels Charles gave him the hôtel of the comte de Nevers.
When Charles the Bold died in 1477, Burgundy was divided between his daughter, Mary, heiress to the Burgundian Netherlands, and Louis XI of France, legitimate heir to the Duchy of Burgundy proper. Mary was suspicious of Philippe and his close connections with the French court, and she confiscated Lille. With the support of the Burgundian baronage Philippe was able to limit the holdings of Mary and her husband, Maximilian, to the Burgundian Low Countries by another Treaty of Arras. In gratitude Louis XI named him first counsellor, knight of Saint Michael, governor of the Dauphin Charles, and Grand Seneschal of Burgundy. His treatment of Philippe went a long way to restore Louis's favour with the petty nobles of Burgundy.
Louis died in 1483, while Charles VIII was still a minor. The great nobles of the kingdom, first among them Louis of Orléans, contested the regency with the dead king's nominee, Anne de Beaujeu, Charles' elder sister. In 1484 she convened the Estates General at Tours. Philippe was the representative of the nobility and he spoke so eloquently in their favour that he was called the "mouth of Cicero" (bouche de Cicéron). In his most celebrated speech, on 9 February, he denied the right of the princes to govern and advanced instead the concept of a nation represented by a monarch, and suggested that the nation be governed by regency council. The deputies then voted to accept the choice of the king and declared Anne regent. The incipient nationalism in Philippe's speech, however, frightened the regent; the Estates were quickly dissolved. Philippe was allowed to keep his function of governor of Burgundy, which he held, reconfirmed by Charles VIII, until his death in 1493.

I must do a (very public) shout out to Rachel at the selfridges counted in birmingham. I've been ordered illamasqua products online since you first launched yet today was the very first time I've ever visited a counter and it was amazing to meet someone with such a passion for what they sell! Sometimes people on counters acting as 'professionals' can be a bit robotic but she genuinely gave one about me and my personal style and said she clocked me as an 'illamasqua girl' a mile off :) I love your brand so much but the only things I've purchased online have been lipsticks and nail varnishes, whereas today Rachel converted me to skin base which I LOVE and eyebrow cake mixed with sealing gel which works great with my black hair as I used to draw on brows with eyeliner! (which now makes me cringe) she also spayed some 'freak' tester on me an when I got home my boyfriend said it made him want to 'ravish' me, I take that as a good thing lol can't wait to buy a bottle. Thanks Rachel &illamasqua!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we're really glad to hear you had such a great experience and will ensure Rachel sees your message!ReplyDelete

J.D. Power And Associates Study: Verizon Wireless Highest For Call Quality In New England
WILMINGTON, MA — Verizon Wireless ranked highest among all other national wireless providers in New England, which includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, in the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Wireless Call Quality Performance Study(SM), Volume 1, issued today.
The J.D. Power and Associates study measures call quality among the major U.S. wireless service providers based on seven factors that impact overall carrier performance. More than 24,300 wireless phone subscribers were surveyed between July and December 2009 about their experience with dropped calls, static/interference, failed connection on the first try, voice distortion, echoes, no immediate voice mail notification and no immediate text message notification. Based on their responses, Verizon Wireless ranked highest in five of six regions, including New England.
Verizon Wireless was also recognized for highest call quality in New England in the previous J.D. Power Call Quality Performance Study, issued in August 2009.
"Customers are using our network not only to talk, but for texting, e-mailing, downloading music, visiting Web sites, and sharing pictures and videos," said Ken Dixon, president of Verizon Wireless' New England Region. "It is important for us to not only meet the current needs of our customers, but to also stay ahead of their growing and ever-changing demand. That's why we continually invest in and vigorously test our network – to make sure we are providing a service they can rely on today and in the future."
Verizon Wireless regularly invests in its wireless network to provide customers with the reliable, high-quality service they expect from the company. Verizon Wireless' ongoing network investment now totals more than $2.6 billion in New England and more than $55 billion nationally over the past ten years.
*Verizon Wireless has the largest and most reliable wireless 3G network coverage area in the United States. The company's 3G data network provides customers, in more locations than any other wireless carrier, the ability to browse the web quickly with fast page loading times, quickly download and play music, watch streaming video, send e-mails with attachments, download and play 3D games, video conference with contacts and rapidly share files. View a map of Verizon Wireless' 3G coverage, compared with competitors' 3G coverage here.

Tip # 8 is Stop Comparing Yourself the Jones'
What is it about human beings in general that we constantly compare ourselves with others? Moms really seem to be in the comparison business. I can't tell you how often I've been in situations where a mom is trying to one up me or worse they try to compare their child to mine. When Anya was 3 years old I was outside of her ballet studio and another mother with a child in the class was remarking on Anya's skills (remind you she was 3), I thanked her and gave her daughter a compliment as well. She then went on to tell me how clumsy her daughter was and that she was trying to determine her talent! At 3? Talent didn't cross my mind, all I saw were sweet little cherubs faces running around giggling and having fun! It was sad that this probably well-meaning mom couldn't just simply enjoy her daughter and embrace the moment. Every family is different every child is unique and when we accept these difference life is so much more enjoyable!
As a single mom regardless of how you got here one sure way to burn out is to continually compare yourself to other families instead of being content with your family as it is in its present state. It is exhausting to want something you can't have. Looking at other families and wishing you had a house like theirs, worrying that you aren't giving your kids the opportunities others give their children in a two parent family (or so you think), or stressing that you're not as organized or as crafty as the mom across the street will only make you miserable! Don't try to overcompensate and wear yourself ragged to prove that you can be like other families that you perceive to live a picture perfect life because no one does! I've seen many two parent families struggling more than many single mothers I know. They appear to be like the Beavers and unfortunately their reality more resembles the War of the Roses. Listen, the bottom line is every family has their challenges. Your family is a family whether it is a 2 parent family or if it is you as a single mom doing the best she can for her children. The key is finding joy in your circumstances. Rejoice in your family and stop comparing it to others because it is unique.
Don't pressure yourself to be on every single PTA board, hold the best parties for your kids, host the neighborhood potluck all because you want to live up to some non-existent standard. I've had my own struggles with overcompensating and it burned me out and made me an absolute nightmare to be around. I had to come to realize that I am who I am, my family is what it is and we are blessed. God doesn't want us to compare ourselves or our family because it is beautiful just the way it is…right at this moment. Find peace in the place you're family is in and honor it, that is when joy comes in and the Jones' won't matter.

I added myself as a limited user. When I logged off, both my mother's account (which is the adminstrator account) and my account (limited account) were listed. After re-starting the computer my mother's administrator account has completely disappeared. I've gone to the control panel and checked it all out. Nothing is there. I have also right clicked on "my computer", then hit "manage" and tried to make changes there however, seeing as how I am logged in on my account (because that is the only option for me) it keeps telling me my access is denied. We have been working on this for four days now and need a solution. If anyone has a step by step process, that I've not already tried, I would be extremely grateful!
do you remember the password for the admin account ? If yes then
press ctrl+ ALT+DEL at the login screen . You will see a login box .
Provide the username and password for administrator account. Hopefully you should able to get in. Then go and make changes you want..
Otherway to get in is safe mode..In safe mode you will see all accounts..
I think windows XP hides administrator account from logon screen once you have created extra users.. (there is a registry hack to enable it but i wont recommend here until needed..)
Subhash Chandra.
How do I get into the safe mode?
1. power off your computer.
2. Power it on again .Start pressing F8
3. at one point it will show you Windows advanced startup options.
4. Select the option Safe mode
see this image to get what is advanced options.
Subhash Chandra.
Thank you!! I'll give it a try and let you know how it turns out for me! lol! Thanks again!
Now that that's finished I need a step by step process on how to install my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I'm trying to run it through a desktop computer so we can use two laptops anywhere in the house off of our own secured wireless network. I thought I had it all set up but when I went to my networks mine wasn't listed. What am I doing wrong or is there an easy to understand process I should start over and try again?
you welcome :) i would suggest start another thread for that issue..

Name: Ketut Mantra
Age: 65
Occupation: Retired teacher
Location: Tuwed village, Negara
What's the greatest lesson life has taught you?
When I graduated from junior high school, Jembrana Regency didn't have a high school yet, so I had to continue my education in Banyuwangi (East Java). Fortunately, one year later, a public high school opened in my regency, so I could go home and continue my studies. After graduation, I became one of the first generation of workers at the Bali Beach Hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel had to be closed during the communist movement. During that time I became a teacher in a new private school in my village. My method of teaching was centered around discussion, and as a result the level of the graduating students at the school was very high. I learned that education and discussion are very important tools to pass through this life.
What's most important?
Education, not for just teenagers or adults; education should be started as early as possible.
What advice would you give the younger generations?
The younger generations should be brave in overcoming every obstacle they face. They have to learn to survive, not be spoiled and be especially strong in the face of temptation from technology and globalization.
Are you worried about dying?
No. When the time comes, I will face it. It is a situation you can't stop or avoid, but I hope I can die naturally, not because of a sickness or an accident.
When was the happiest time of your life?
It will be when my children succeed in finishing their schooling and get the jobs they want.
And the worst?
I have no memory of one precise event that has made me very sad, because I don't like to remember sad times. But I will feel disappointed if I can't provide money for schooling for my children, and have to go get a loan from the bank, or borrow money from relatives.
What's humanity all about?
Humanity is about community and harmonious living. Humans are social beings that have to live in communities, both on a small scale, like family, to the bigger scale of society. In communities, whether big or small, harmonization is a must.
Why are there so many conflicts in the world?
Politics are the main cause of conflicts. Politicians are often just thinking of their own interests, not the interests of common people.
Is a peaceful world impossible?
Yes. A peaceful world is just an expectation that can't be realized. For me, it can only can be created in a puppet story.
How old do you feel?
I feel much younger than my real age. Though my age is 65, it's just a number. I have a young spirit and soul.
Is there anything you still want to do?
Yes, I still want to help my village develop further.
Is one lifetime enough?
No. I hope I will have other lives to pass through, until I have completely redeemed my sins.
How has Bali changed since you were a child?
There are a lot of differences. In the past it was hard to find certain things, such as fertilizer or agricultural tools, which are now easily found. In the past, we lived happily with just bikes, while now we have to have a motorbike or even a car. Necessities are getting more and more complex but are more easily found. Bali used to have a lot of beautiful art forms that are now gone or very rare, such as Jenggong, Bumbung Gebyok, Leko, Adrah, Genggong.
Has tourism been good for Bali?
It's been very positive. Tourism opens a lot of job opportunities and Balinese art can be revived through tourism.
What's the major difference between the East and West?
Their social life. Westerners are more individualistic while, people in the East are more social.
Have you ever doubted your religion?
What makes you so sure of it?
I was born with my religion. For me, living with my religion is my ancestors' desire. I serve my ancestor's message and it is my dedication to them, which satisfies me.

I have a 'To Do' list.
Well, actually, I have quite a few 'To Do' lists.
I have lists stuck onto my fridge, in my computer, on my email account. I have lists on the back of bus tickets at the bottom of my handbag, in my jeans pocket and beside the bed (yes, really :D) I even have a dear little Astroid on my phone looking after yet another list.
Most of my lists are taken up with earth shattering reminders such as 'take the chicken out of the freezer' and 'clean out the turtle' (don't want to mix those two up if you can help it...). I have Christmas present lists from years ago, lists of miniatures commissions to complete and of things I plan to make when I get to the end of the commissions... But there is one list which is unlikely to end up in the washing machine or disintegrate in my bag and that is the one in my head entitled 'THINGS TO DO WHEN THE CHILDREN LEAVE HOME'.
Don't get me wrong...this list is not a long one and there is no hurry to start it. Despite being extremely happy with my family in my little corner of the Canary Islands, with no wild desire to try bungee jumping in Australia or see my babies married off (or otherwise), I do have a few things that I am keeping on that list. I am not an adventurer by heart. I 'travelled' for a year when I was 24 and stayed in the first place that I arrived in for the next 25 years. The trouble is that, since I discovered a passion for miniatures, I can't help thinking that rather than looking at photos of the Chicago Tom Bishop Show...I'd rather be there. When I read that there is a miniatures fair in Paris, Barcelona or Arnhem next month I would quite happily pack an overnight bag. Phoenix, Philadelphia and Kensington are calling me, Toronto in the Fall would be beautiful. And, of course, each year there are workshops held in Europe and the USA which I know I could just squeeze in...not to mention the trips for miniaturists organised by the indefatigable Molly Cromwell, whose enthusiasm for the miniature world has me itching to join in! Over the years on the internet I have made such wonderful friends of customers and artisans in so many places and I would love to be able to meet some of them in person.
Of course my long-suffering husband hasn't seen the list, although he does of course suspect that it exists, but is he really likely to turn down Paris???...I think not ;)
Anyway, the point of all this rambling is really to say that while I'm waiting for my own little taste of 'empty nest syndrome' (or whatever they're calling it these days) I'm very grateful to Shelly Norris for organising yet another Online Miniature Show this month. I know that dealers and customers alike have very much enjoyed the previous ones and for those of use who are unable, for whatever reason, to visit a 'live' show it is a wonderful experience and very much appreciated. I adore setting up my virtual 'table' and wondering who will be first through the door. The system is easy to use for dealers and customers alike. The time difference between various countries makes it impossible to sleep and I love that I can be a dealer in my pijamas (probably not quite the done thing at the NEC). I still get the 'chat'. Whether by Skype or email it's great to receive comments and questions from people browsing my work.I understand from friends who regularly attend the big shows that it can be hard to get away for 5 minutes for a sandwich or a visit to the Little Girl's Room...not this weekend!...pizza delivered to the door and...well, you get the idea.
Check in tomorrow for a sneak preview of some of the treasures that you will find ...and more details of how to register for your visit to the Miniature Online Show
And in the meantime...roll on Chicago 2019...!!

The Jets are 1-0 after an improbable 18-17 win against the Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon and they won't be making a change at quarterback as they go for two straight wins against the Patriots on Thursday night.
Coach Rex Ryan announced that Geno Smith will start the game and that Mark Sanchez will again be inactive because of the shoulder injury he suffered in the third preseason game. Ryan also confirmed that Sanchez will be getting another opinion on the shoulder this week — Sanchez reportedly has a torn labrum in his right shoulder, which was also reportedly dislocated on the hit by former Giants defensive tackle Marvin Austin — in hopes of coming up with a firmer timeline for his return to work.
"He's not going to play this game. It's a short week, he's not going to play this game," Ryan said, via Seth Walder of the New York Daily News. "This is a mutual thing with the team and Mark to let's go get, find out exactly where he is, maybe a different opinion. But he hasn't had a setback or anything else. He's been doing a good job with his rehab, but this is just, the situation, clearly he's not going to play this week. So let's make sure that everything's, that we are 100 percent confident in what we think we have."
Even if Sanchez were healthy, it's hard to imagine the Jets pulling Smith off his performance against the Bucs. It wasn't perfect, but Smith looked better as the game went along and he showed an ability to make plays with both his arm and legs over the course of the afternoon. With plenty of reason to believe he'll be better with more experience, it's a clear edge over a fifth-year player whose best moments haven't been much better than what Smith did on Sunday.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered and mastered by Brian Thorn at The Magic Shop in NYC during CMJ week 2012
With a song such as "Dead End," Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen and Esben Valløe of the Copenhagen, Denmark group Reptile Youth turn what should likely be a personal catastrophe into something much more significant. They turn an issue into an unspeakable breach of a pact one might have felt he or she had with their maker and suddenly offense has been taken and there's no going back. Kristiansen sings, "God, he's a rolling stone/He left me in this mess all alone," and the burden is being thrust right onto the back of the big guy up above - taking the complaint straight to the top.
This personal issue makes the guy feel as if he knows what it might have been like to be Moses, waiting on the mountain "waiting for the truth to be delivered, waiting for the sky to open up." He also knows what it might have been like to feel like Moses, waiting at the end of a dead end, "Waiting for the sea to be divided/Waiting for someone to lead the way." It's all about being backed into a real quagmire that doesn't feel as if it was all his doing. It gives off this sensation of something that was deemed from on high and now they're stuck with shit on their hands, but there's nothing they can do about it now. There's no appeals process.
Kristiansen and Valløe tend to create stories that are filled with absolute value for good and evil filled in, but the scratchings and notes of just where it all came from, just who all was to blame and who's going to help clean up any of these messes all remains to be seen. There's going to be a lot of finger-pointing, but none of it's expected to lead anywhere.
The characters in these songs are going to work themselves red in the face, calling out the hypocrites and others like them, but they're bound to work themselves tirelessly and furiously to a resolution that might or might not resemble the resolution they think they should be handed. Reptile Youth songs seem to focus on the right and the wrong, the good and the bad, but what they usually conclude is that there isn't much difference and the lights are going to color the night as such that you're barely going to be able to tell.

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are considering the 22nd extension of funding for the FAA through January 31, 2012, which includes back pay for federal workers who were furloughed for two weeks in August when Congress allowed the previous extension to lapse.
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman John Mica (R-FL) had planned to introduce the bill on Friday, but last-minute discussions over its provisions delayed the introduction. The measure under discussion would include funding cuts to the FAA, consistent with deficit-reduction agreements and House appropriators' funding levels. The overall funding levels in the FAA extension would reflect roughly a five percent reduction, which would be problematic for the airport improvement program that has been level funded for years.
Although still in draft form, the FAA extension appears to be far less problematic than the last extension bill introduced by Mica. That effort angered the Senate because it included provisions to cut subsidies to rural airports. The battle that ensued resulted in a standoff that forced a partial shutdown. Federal workers were furloughed and the Treasury lost some $400 million in tax receipts from airline ticket sales alone.
The current extension expires on September 16. Early indications are that the measure could pass the Senate without too much difficulty. Senate aides said they are waiting to see a final version of the bill before issuing any public statements about it.

NATA Vice President of Government and Industry Affairs Eric R. Byer's latest blog focuses on how the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks have changed the general aviation industry and how thankful we should be to live in the U.S.A.
To read Byer's blog, please click here.
In a letter to the secretary of the Department of Transportation and administrators of both the FAA and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NATA President and CEO James K. Coyne responded to a recent letter from the California Attorney General's office. The California Attorney General had attempted to convince the Department of Transportation, FAA and EPA that the threat to the availability of aviation gasoline resulting from an effort by a private group, the Center for Environmental Health (CEH), to sue FBOs, aviation fuel distributers and producers was minimal.
"I take strong exception to [the attorney general's] characterization of the issues," said Coyne. "First, the state attorney general is hardly a neutral observer. [Their] office has vigorously opposed our effort to obtain a federal court ruling [on these issues]." Coyne described recent court filings by CEH, which the Attorney General's office pointed to as evidence of a lack of threat to the availability of avgas within the state, as "little more than legal maneuvering to prevent the court from reviewing our request for declaratory relief."
A number of the FBOs, fuel producers and distributers named in the CEH threat have formed a legal defense coalition to defend against this attack. NATA serves in a facilitating and administrative support role for this coalition. The coalition has filed a federal lawsuit in Fresno, California, to issue an injunction preventing both CEH and the state from using California law to sue the defendants over the sale of an FAA-approved aviation fuel.
In closing his letter, Coyne stated, "The bottom line is this: The availability of an FAA-approved aviation fuel is under serious threat in California. For that reason, and the others expressed by several members of Congress and in our formal complaint filed in federal court, I respectfully request the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to weigh in on this issue [in support of] our request for declaratory relief."
Senate Bill 619, the NATA-sponsored bill to provide relief to California flight training facilities, has been passed by both houses of the California legislature and is now before Governor Jerry Brown for his signature. If signed, SB 619 would provide an exemption from the regulations issued by the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) for all California flight training providers and programs that:
1. Do not require students to enter into a contract of indebtedness, and2. Do not require the upfront payment of fees in excess of $2500
NATA has been fighting for the California flight training industry since early 2010 when the state legislature instituted new rules that brought the industry under the regulatory authority of the BPPE. The resulting regulations, which failed to account for the unique nature and structure of flight training businesses, threatened to force many in the industry to close their doors. In late 2010, NATA secured a legislative delay in compliance with the BPPE rules that provided the time needed to push for a long-term fix this year.

During the month of August, unemployment reached above nine percent for the 26th consecutive month and no jobs were created, leaving more than 14 million Americans unemployed. On September 8, President Barack Obama outlined several proposals for job creation, which U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) stated were "ideas that merit consideration". However, the President and Congress will have to balance tax incentives, infrastructure investment and assistance to local governments closely due to our nation's massive debt.
President Obama specifically requested an additional $50 billion in spending as part of his Fiscal Year 2012 budget request for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and $10 billion for the creation of a new National Infrastructure Bank as part of a $447 billion American Jobs Act. The proposed $50 billion in spending for the DOT would be taken from a proposed Transportation Trust Fund that was to be financed by a $35 million per year tax increase to be named at a later date. This proposal will likely not go far in Congress.
Furthermore, President Obama said repeatedly that his $447 billion jobs plan would not add to the deficit, but then said that its cost would be paid. According to Jeff Davis with Transportation Weekly, here's how: The agreement that passed in July will cut government spending by about $1 trillion over the next 10 years. It also charges this Congress to come up with an additional $1.5 trillion in savings by Christmas. Essentially this plan puts the burden on Congress to identify taxes and/or cut spending by $447 billion to offset the cost.
The Infrastructure Bank proposal is said to be similar to the Senator John Kerry-Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison bill, S. 652, which would make loans and loan guarantees for a variety of transportation infrastructure projects. The bank would not be a part of the DOT but could be structured with public-private funds.
The timeline on the American Jobs Act, or whether the Congress will be able to introduce the legislation before the end of the year, is unknown.
Corporate flight departments are seeking out operators that are listed on the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) Industry Audit Standard (IAS) Registry. The ACSF audit standard, recognized by on-demand charter operators and fractional ownership companies as the most comprehensive audit standard for the industry, is now being looked at by corporate flight departments as the standard to use when seeking vendors to provide supplemental lift.
"After looking at various audit standards, we decided to use operators on the Air Charter Safety Foundation audit registry to provide our charter services," said Dick Flygare, director of special projects with QEP Resources and an ATP-rated pilot. "The ACSF standard is one of the most rigorous standards we've come across and holds charter operators to the highest standard of safety and best practices. We only use the best in the business!"
QEP Resources is a leading independent natural gas and oil exploration and production company headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with operations focused in the Rocky Mountain and Midcontinent regions of the United States. Mayo Aviation, an ACSF audit-registered company, was recently selected by QEP to provide supplemental lift services.
The IAS is a universal audit standard developed specifically for on-demand charter operators and fractional aircraft management companies to accomplish two key functions – to verify compliance with regulatory requirements and to evaluate the level of compliance with recognized safety management system (SMS) standards. The ACSF audit process and registry were developed to position an operator, through a single audit, to gain world-wide recognition of its SMS program.
Before scheduling an on-site audit, the ACSF IAS requires an operator to complete a pre-audit checklist, which enables the operator to gauge, before any payment is tendered, whether they are ready to proceed with an audit and how well they will perform during the audit.
Supporting materials are available at www.acsf.aero/audit. Operators wishing to initiate the audit process should contact Russ Lawton or Alison McHugh at 1-888-SAFE-135 (888-723-3135).
The Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) rules require facilities with aboveground storage of oils (including aviation fuels) in excess of 1,320 gallons to have and implement an SPCC plan. If a facility stores more than 10,000 gallons, its SPCC plan must be certified by a professional engineer. The rules governing SPCC underwent a major re-write in 2002 and amendments in 2006 and 2009. Now, the deadline for compliance with all three rule changes is just around the corner.
The SPCC Compliance Webinar will give your facility the latest information on compliance with the complex rules and will include featured speaker, George Gamble, founder of 2G Environmental. 2G Environmental was founded in 2003 and has extensive experience in aviation-specific SPCC plans and other areas of environmental compliance.
Webinar attendees will receive answers to the following vital questions:
In addition to answering those questions, attendees will have a chance to ask their own questions to one of the aviation industry's leading experts on SPCC compliance.
For only $49.95 your entire staff will have the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming SPCC Compliance deadline. Make sure your facility is prepared. Register now for the NATA SPCC Compliance Webinar.

Aviation fuel quality control involves more than just taking samples from tanks and performing certain inspections to ensure that equipment is functioning properly. Every aspect of fuel handling, including supply security and inventory management, are important. A recent article at www.onlinesentinel.com points out the dangers of not properly securing fuel storage or tracking inventory:
"Waterville airport missing fuel -With 2,000 gallons missing, police suspect theft or poor accounting -Police are investigating the possible theft of about 2,000 gallons of aircraft fuel from the city-owned Robert LaFleur Municipal Airport. City Engineer Greg Brown, who manages the airport, reported to police that fuel was missing from an airport fuel tank in late June."
Take a few minutes today and ensure that access to your fuel storage facility is secured and that you are properly recording and tracking the movement of fuel through your facility.

Pysanky season is almost over. Maybe. I've been so compelled to work on eggs whenever I have a free minute. It just seems as though I need to work on other things now that Easter is upon us.
I gave eggs to friends at Jazzercise and my old coworkers. I have tons of eggs sitting around with no good home to go to. Maybe my sister will take some off my hands.

So I guess you know by now that I have fully abandoned this blog. And it is not because I do not love you little Silver Lining Avenue....because I do!
I have taken on a new venture. I am not ready to spill the beans yet... so I am redirecting this blog back to its previous domain: www.possimpiblyawesome.blogspot.com for now, if you need it for any reason.
Follow me on Twitter @saritabaucom for upcoming information.
And after that, pray/beg/meditate that I am following my dreams and it will all be worth it.
Thank you for all of the love ladies, I have so enjoyed this time.
Moving on up!

The revolutionary events in Russia in 1917 stemmed from a number of causes but the primary one was the tyranny of the Tsar. The unfair and cruel use of power by the Tsar to satisfy himself and furthermore ignore the needs and the demands of the Russian people in particularly the peasants and the workers would later become the downfall of his autocracy.
Russia had been experiencing a number of problems in the years leading up to World War I which created an environment suited to revolution. For many years the peasants of Russia had faced growing problems in terms of achieving their desire to own their own land and financial success through agriculture. As a result, many had move into the cities in the hope of finding work in the expanding industrial world. However they often found that both working and living conditions were terrible. Little concern was shown by the Tsar for the workers health and safety which produced a strong urgency by many to find solutions to their poor living standards.
In 1904 Russia fell into war with Japan and lost. Domestically, the industrial works began to suffer because of strikes and the loss of services such as electricity. Although the people asked for Nicholas to grant them an elected parliament and constitution it was denied and led to "Bloody Sunday" which was the start of the year of protests, strikes and murders. While it led Nicholas to promise change and to sign the October Manifesto, this only happened in order to avoid revolution.
The problem to follow from this and reach right through to 1917 was that Nicholas did not mean his promises and in fact created responses which included repression and led to serious changes in the peasant's attitude to Nicholas. As people came...

1st week at my new job...
So, yep it's official I got a job! Still after years of not "working outside the home" I feel I need something that works with the school schedule so, I can pick up my son from school-etc. I looked into /applied for a few part-time jobs but, it turns out the best option that worked out is working within the school system. I guess it's good working with kids that they do a thorough screening- drug test (even if it took me 3 times to pee enough ;), got my fingerprints on file, and filled out about 10 pages worth of paperwork- etc. so, after all of that -I got the job! Working as a lunch assistant at an Elementary school -it has been an adjustment working through my normal lunch time and just helping take care of a lot of kids at lunch and recess. Ups and downs -from a kid freaking out because he got ketchup on his plate to the playground shenanigans but, of course there's those moments when it's just the right temperature during recess and the sunshine and sound of kids playing makes you feel all nice and warm. Sometimes it feels like you really are helping -even if it is just to open a milk carton or tie someone's shoelaces. All of it just rewarding and exhausting -ready to enjoy the weekend/ rest up and start again Monday! Thanks to anyone who still reads this :)

Blu-ray primps for victory party
Plugs interactivity, new features with rival on ropesFor Blu-ray Disc supporters, it's all about interactivity.
Flush with a feeling of victory after Warner Home Video ditched HD DVD and New Line reportedly followed suit — leaving the next-generation format with just two of the six major studios in its camp — the Blu-ray studios are now bent on playing catch-up.
HD DVD, after all, came to market nearly two years ago with all its interactive features operational. Not so for Blu-ray, which was rushed to market two months after HD DVD's April 2006 launch in essentially a half-baked form.
Early Blu-ray releases didn't feature much in the way of extras. Only in November did Panasonic release the first Blu-ray player capable of picture-in-picture, and it wasn't until this week that Panasonic and Sony said plans for a "final spec" Blu-ray player are in the works for this year, offering picture-in-picture and BD-Live, which lets viewers connect to the Internet for a variety of interactive options, from downloading new trailers and additional content to playing multiplayer video games.
At October's Blu-ray Disc Festival in Hollywood, several studios mentioned plans to include the picture-in-picture, or Bonus View, option on upcoming Blu-ray releases, like 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's "Sunshine." But it wasn't until this week's Consumer Electronics Show that Blu-ray's interactive potential was really thrust into the spotlight.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment worldwide president David Bishop said at one of several Blu-ray news conferences and events at CES that "we're ready for the next phase — to really start to develop interactivity. We'll really get a chance to use our creative juices."
At a Sony press event, Bishop and his team focused on BD-Live, considered the Cadillac of Blu-ray's interactive potential. Sony plans to use BD-Live to allow consumers to play games, hear live commentary and even create their own avatars to insert into a film, among other networking activities.
Sony executive vp advanced technologies Don Eklund demonstrated downloading a low-resolution movie on a Blu-ray Disc to the PlayStation Portable through the PlayStation 3. He also demonstrated sending a ringtone to a phone through a connected Blu-ray Disc.
"The evidence is growing at a rather rapid rate that Blu-ray is dominating the field," said film critic Leonard Maltin, who hosted the event.
Maltin interviewed producer Dean Devlin about the benefits of digital filmmaking and Blu-ray. Devlin also praised the interactivity options on the new high-def format.
"It's just going to expand that universe so much more," he said.
"(A film) is no longer frozen in time," Maltin added.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, too, plans on including picture-in-picture and BD-Live on upcoming Blu-ray Disc releases. Interactive content in the pipeline includes virtual games, full-motion picture-in-picture and online shopping capabilities.
Worldwide president Bob Chapek anticipates the disc will "allow consumers to create an entirely new home entertainment experience with stunning new bonus features and amazing interactive capabilities, the likes of which have never before been seen."

Sonnet style: The New Tuberism
A Potato's Thoughts
This is an article about The
New Tuberism - a sonnet style which I have been secretly using for years...
In my capacity as a potato sonnetteer
of Describe Adonis, and occasional contributor to poetry
groups web-wide, in this article I shall attempt to clarify the conceptual thoughts behind what has become
known, in popular sonnet culture, as The New Tuberism.
We all know that a sonnet is usually
comprised of three quatrains and a couplet, much as one's mid-week menu may consist of three courses with
perhaps a lamb cutlet, and hopefully no potatoes will be harmed in the making.
So what, you may squeal, is so different about The New Tuberism? Well, my pumpkins, the difference
is in the actual content, not in the structure, of a New Tuberist sonnet.
Firstly, ensure that potatoes are mentioned,
in some context or other. The sky is the limit here. There are many different races of potato
- just look at the visual difference between a sweet potato and a King Edward. My personal roots are in Cara,
yours may be elsewhere.
In the second instance, think Camp. Think
Very Camp Indeed [VCI]. Few things in this world can bring more delight than a drag potato, save perhaps
two drag potatoes. Gaiety, Campness, and Flamboyance are the order of the day. Be bold with taffetta, go
mad with colour, luxuriate in lurex. Let your words shimmy and sashay on the page, bring your words
to the world tied with a pink bow and borne by Renaissance cherubs and powder-blue penguins
singing the Hallelujah Chorus on roller skates. For this is what fans of the New Tuberism truly desire;
it is the pink fluffy heart of the madness of romance.
Here is a New Tuberist Sonnet I prepared earlier
(minus the lamb cutlet):
Sonnet of Potato Versus Pixie
© The Potato Of Terror, 21/4/01
The terrible dark gnomes of deepest night Do jibber unto me dementedly.
They wear their leather breeches black and tight, They ask
satanic pixies round for tea. Oh save me from their fearsome canine
teeth, Which gnash and chomp, haunting my darkest dreams!
They wear pink robes, with nothing underneath! How terribly
beastly such raiment seems! For shame! Let them to monasteries go,
Or let them get them to a nunnery! For when I take my belt
off, fee fie fo, Most anything shall happen, they shall see!
I am the worst nightmare of bad pixies; The "Terrible
Swift Sword" for such as these.
Much pain and suffering went into the
composition of this sonnet. Great heavings of dismay and undulations of fear were experienced
before pen caressed paper, which, though terrifying, did help to fuel the passionate fires
of inspiration. For poetry is truly an untamed fire, which
starts in the girded loins, ignites the underwear and causes the top of the head
to spin, until finally, a new sonnet is born, like a bat popping out of a belfry.
So how does one begin to commune with
the muse, sufficiently to produce a sonnet of true New Tuberism? It is not exactly like being able
to plug in a toaster or radio. It is more like trying to catch a wisp of ectoplasm, or trying to induce an
extremely large, bored bull elephant to dance a threesome reel. It takes time, concentration and most
importantly - inspiration, which has to be coaxed, rather than forced.
There are many methods of calling forth
inspiration, and believe me, since losing my magic pen down the back of the sofa, I have tried them
all. Popular belief has extolled the virtues of sitting with one's feet in a bucket of gravel, while some
favour covering their lower body with mud and sea kelp, which, while good for cellulite, may
not actually help to coax a good New Tuberist sonnet into being.
Some New Tuberist sonnetteers have also
been known to try shouting through cardboard tubes, which rarely works these days, as the violent
shouting can close off the energy inroads to the body's essential chakras, and occasionally, rupture the
My mother always swears by daubing herself
with a generous covering of Wintergreen, but she is a cross-channel swimmer and rarely writes poetry.
When she does, her works are occasionally of some merit. She is also a drinker of some impressive voraciousness,
so what she says, while "in her cups", is generally best ignored.
No indeed, as I hinted earlier under
~NOTES from the author~, the key is to suffer for one's art. Put on a hair shirt, lash yourself with a bicycle
chain or hard loofah, wail, sob, bellow... and lo and behold, the first glimmering of the
first merest spark of an idea will form. No really. This really works, but
obviously close the curtains first, especially if the windows of any houses opposite are facing yours.
As you may have been wondering - yes,
levitation does go a long way to helping with inspiration. Put away anything breakable, say a quiet mantra
with your hind legs folded beneath you - and drift away, gently.
This has rarely been known to fail, especially
when meditating on poetic growth. Sex while levitating is also popular, but that is a whole other article,
which may be explored at some other time.
A New Tuberist sonnet must be gently
unfolded, like the veiny leaves of a cabbage slowly unfurling. Let your tuber story emerge in this manner,
so that it effectively "sneaks up from behind" on the trusting reader, then BAM!! The final couplet arrives, with either a shattering, momentous statement, or a resounding
echo of the first phrase, thus punctuating the sonnet with maximum impact, like the slap of a large trout
round the ear.
Have a sense of occasion. You would not
bathe in your best clothes, or walk along Rodeo Drive in your old carpet slippers. To be truly camp in the
New Tuberist style, you need to be dressed in shiny black leather, or, at the very least,
dark PVC or latex. A touch of lace here and there, with fishnet and the occasional shiny D ring, also helps.
By all means, suffer for your art, but
enjoy it. Many have said - "No pain, no gain" and it's true. Remember this as you sit in your drafty garret,
sipping Absinthe, levitating as your painful leather stays shimmer in the dim candlelight.
There is much art created through pain. And pain
can be fun!

The disastrous condition our environment is in has made many people who really care about the wellbeing of their planet start working on saving the little that remained unspoiled. The reasons for this situation are many, one of which is the air and water pollution and here is where the efforts are being made of making things better, the land and water traffic. What we mean in particular is that new means of transport for both land and sea are being invented, carefully manufactured to use sources of energy which come from the nature and cannot do any harm to our environment. As for the land traffic, the use of bicycles has noticed huge increase as well as the use of the newly manufactured eco-friendly land vehicles. Well, we have the same thing done with the sailing means of transport and the last few years there are serious improvements in the manufacturing of the green yachts. These yachts are eco-friendly and do not harm the environment in any possible way. Besides, they have also shown that they can be really functional and durable, so here is a list we made on top 10 green yachts ever manufactured. These luxurious beauties look as grand as the regular yachts do and do not harm nature in any possible way.
1.) The first on our list is a topnotch design by the high-end designer Nuvolari-Lenard. It is the PJ World Superyacht. This uses the Rolls Royce's package of electric-diesel engine which helps this yacht to achieve its place among the "Clean Class" lucky group. The peak performance, flawless design and, of course, impeccable protection of the environment are some of the things why this piece has deserved the first place on our list.

Wear & Care Instructions for Compression Garments
Useful tips to help you get the most life out of your compression stockings and armsleeves.
How to wash compression garments –
- Most compression garments can be machine washed
- Use a garment bag if fabric is sheer or tends to snag
- Use cold or warm water, never hot, and a mild detergent
- Detergents appropriate for babies clothing are considered mild
- Hosiery washing solutions condition nylon, and will give your stockings a longer life
- Many compression stockings can be machine dried. Check the package or product label. Spandex and silicone top-bands don't like heat, so air drying will extend the life of your garment.
- Fabric softeners and bleach should never be used with compression garments
How to clean the silicone top bands on knee and thigh highs –
- Soap and oils can build-up on silicone-top bands making them less effective, even with proper washing.
- Use a cotton ball and a little alcohol, or an alcohol swab to remove soap residue.
How often should compression stockings be washed –
- Compression stockings should be washed daily.
- Dirt and oils break down spandex.
- Daily washing also restores the shape of the stocking.
Should compression garments be worn at night or for 24 hours –
- Some individuals with severe lymphedema or edema do occasionally need to wear compression 24 hours a day, but this is not typical. If you are wearing a compression garment all the time, it should only be done under the supervision of a doctor or therapist.
