Electrify Your Acoustic Instrument With A Pickup
You can amplify your very own acoustic violin, viola, cello or upright bass by putting a violin pickup or microphone on the instrument. Violin pickups not only allow you to be heard well by your audience, but will grant you freedom to move about in performance rather than standing still behind a microphone stand! There are several categories of violin pickups to choose from depending on your tone and budget requirements, which you can filter this category by clicking on the 'TYPE' in the left-hand column or learn more about in the article linked below...
**Research: Picking out the Perfect Pickup**
We carry a large selection of piezoelectric transducers from Fishman, Headway, K & K, Kremona, LR Baggs, Realist, Schatten, Starfish and Yamaha. Schertler makes both electrostatic transducers, which they call their STAT series, and dynamic contact mics, called the DYN series, that adhere to the body of the instrument. We also carry excellent clip-on instrument microphones from Audio-Technica and DPA.
Shop here for violin pickups and instrument mics by filtering by instrument, pickup type, price and brand in the left-hand column. If you are not sure which type of pickup suits your needs and your budget, please call us toll-free at 866-900-8400 to get our expert assistance over the phone or read our article on how to choose the right pickup for you.

Mavrelis '09 Sees Link Between Obama, Hatcherby Steve Charles • October 8, 2008 Share:
Senior George Mavrelis was working with Associate Professor of Rhetoric David Timmerman last summer when he became intrigued by two historical moments from the northwest Indiana region in which he grew up.
"George came to Wabash from Crown Point and had relatives who were quite familiar with the 1967 Gary mayoral election, especially the charges of corruption leveled by both campaigns," Professor Timmerman explains. "Early last summer as he was researching a 19th century African American Indiana politician, he made the connection between Barack Obama's historic campaign and Richard Hatcher. He wanted to investigate it for himself."
Timmerman felt the resulting article—"Richard Hatcher: Turning the Tide and Passing the Torch"—was good enough to submit to Traces, the quarterly magazine of the Indiana Historical Society. The submission was ultimately turned away because the publication already had an article on Hatcher, who in 1967 became the first African American mayor of a major American city (along with Carl Stokes of Cleveland).
But Timmerman says Mavrelis's work makes a genuine contribution to the study of Indiana political rhetoric, a rare accomplishment in papers by undergraduates in the field.
"George's essay reminds us that, as he writes, 'The history of racial, political and social equality in Indiana, particularly in northwest Indiana, has been a turbulent one, stained with many occurrences of injustice and hate.' This made the strong showing by Barack Obama in 2008, including in Lake County, all the more significant," Timmerman says. "Also, I tend to agree with George concerning the importance of Hatcher's election—it could certainly be said that if Barack Obama wins the presidency this fall he will be completing something begun by Richard Hatcher in the state of Indiana."
With Indianapolis Star political reporter Matthew Tully writing in his October 8 column that the 2008 Presidential Election could be decided in Lake County, Mavrelis's work is even more timely.
"It is just as George discovered—a pattern that began decades ago, repeating itself," Timmerman says. "Most Hoosiers possess a well developed ability to laugh at ourselves, including the state moniker of 'flyover state.' There is some truth to that, but it hides the many ways in which this state has played a role in significant and singular events in this country, including the election of the first African American mayor of a large, northern city and, perhaps, the election of the first African American President."
For Mavrelis, a mathematics major/biology minor who plans to attend law school next year, the article provided "an opportunity to work one-on-one with a professor of rhetoric on a project that took weeks of research to discover.
"I had never worked so closely with a professor on my writing style, which is such an essential skill for a senior approaching graduation. Now I have a greater confidence in my writing."
Timmerman says Mavrelis "learned what it is like to take a project from scratch to fully completed essay, including several false starts, redirections, and a process of editing that saw his essay go through six drafts. I also think he learned the benefit of conversation and collaborative research, as he and I combed through the same sources at the historical museum and state library and brainstormed ideas in the car, at lunch, and in the library.
"I was reminded that students are often best motivated by connections from their own lives and insights they have on their own."

In photo: Mavrelis (left) looks over documents in the Lilly Library at Wabash with Professor Timmerman and fellow intern Derek Hickerson '09. An article on James Matthew Townsend by Hickerson will be published in the Winter 2009 issue of Traces. We'll have more about Derek's work closer to the Traces publication date.)

This jersey fabric came from my last trip to New Zealand from a Spotlight store and it was mega-cheap. And the pattern - Vogue 8663 - was a couple of euro at the Knitting and Stitching Show - it's quite the little bargainlicious number, this.
It's Very Easy, Very Vogue and it is pretty simple. However, this dress has taken FOR. EVER. Not because it's difficult or anything, just because of a series of unfortunate incidents.
After I cut it out my sewing machine broke. (It's still broken...) But I actually invested in a new (old) refurbished 30 year old Brother machine - which I now kind of love for it's basic mechanics. Then I didn't have the right thread, then I didn't have the right bias binding, then I didn't have the right zip etc etc.
I like the pleat details in the neckline. I went on a futile hunt for an orange bias binding before realising that I was never going to get a match but I think the white binding works pretty well.
It remains to be seen how well this fabric washes but I was very lucky/ flukey that this fit me so well. I would so make this dress again. It also has a version with sleeves which would be nice for winter.
Pattern: Very Easy, Very Vogue V8663
Fabric: Medium weight jersey from Spotlight, New Zealand
Size: 10 with no alterations

I'm having the exact same problem. Flash CS5 keeps crashing and corrupting files I've spent hours and hours creating. This is insane. I hope someone answers your plea. I've just WASTED two days. I have nothing but a collection of corrupted FLA files to show for my time.
2. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 19, 2010 5:32 PM (in response to kcournoyer)
Seriously for the amount of money we have paid, it is ridiculous!! I am pretty eager for a fix ASAP... It's pretty hard to justify to the boss that his $ were well spent when you can't even work!
3. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 20, 2010 4:50 PM (in response to The Buke)
OK, if anyone from Adobe land is reading this, would you be able to help me!
I seriously cannot do any work until this problem is fixed. Is there anyway I could send you my file, and see if it happens to you also? I have spent the last year on this one project and the interface gets developed monthly, without this interface the work that I am doing will not function.
Someone please help!

I'm experiencing the exact same issues too under Windows 7 64bit. Flash is crashing VERY OFTEN during the save process. Both Save... and Save As... are affected.
Save corrupts my FLA and Save As corrupts both my new FLA _AND_ the original FLA! Very frustrating!
Sometimes it corrupts the file into a 1kb FLA (All work is lost). Sometimes it leaves the original filesize in tact however says 'Unexpected File Format' when you try to open it. Fautunately when the file size is left in tact I can extract the library assets due to the new XFL format (FLA is now a compressed XFL archive and can be extracted via WinRAR etc) however the DomDocument.xml file is corrupted which contains the timeline data.
Today I saved an FLA without it crashing. It said the save completed successfully. I then closed the file and reopened it shortly after only to find it was now corrupted too. Again the DomDocument.xml file is corrupt. This is beyond a joke Adobe! Is this a known issue? Is there a fix in the works?
The issue seems to be around Saving FLA to a network drive. I haven't had any crashes occur while saving the file locally (yet?). Also I've found that saving your Files as Uncompressed XLF seems to prevent crashing. It's my assumption the crashes are triggered during the compression/uncompression process when working with and saving FLA files.
6. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 27, 2010 6:48 PM (in response to ReDrUmNZ)
I have been contacted by Adobe, and I they are looking at one of my files as we speak. I really hope they get a fix soon!!! I am having the EXACT same issues as you are!
7. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingReDrUmNZ May 27, 2010 7:14 PM (in response to The Buke)
Awesome. Please let me know the results. I feel your pain, It's very frustrating indeed! Flash has never worked well on Windows 7. CS4 seemed to take 10 times longer to compile SWF's than it did under OSX or Windows XP/Vista. CS5 compile times are back to normal which is good. At least CS4 didnt crash and corrupt your files though!
8. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingnrajbhan May 28, 2010 1:40 PM (in response to The Buke)
Thanks for sending me your FLA. It looks like the following library asset is corrupted – "08 - Help Menu/Images/progress.gif". Even in Flash CS4, you will see a "Preview not available" message when selecting it in the Library and you can't drag it onto the stage.
If you delete this asset from the Library, you will be able to save your file in Flash CS 5.
9. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingdikuno10 May 29, 2010 4:09 AM (in response to nrajbhan)
How come Adobe could release Flash CS5 with this massive "Library Asset" bug? Maybe Adobe should have released a Beta after all!
Lucky I haven't been hit...
10. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 30, 2010 10:00 PM (in response to nrajbhan)
Are there any thoughts of fixing this issue in a patch? The problem I have is that I have 1000's of flash files, and if I need to update any, I am worried that Flash will crash, corrupt my file and leave me with a useless *.fla file.
11. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingkcournoyer May 31, 2010 12:04 PM (in response to The Buke)
I'm sorry I've dropped out of this discussion. Quite simply, I gave up and
went back to an earlier and more stable version of Flash. I'll continue to
work with the old version, until all the obvious bugs in CS5 are fixed.
Also, I'm urgently learning HTML 5's animation capabilities. I look forward
to leaving Flash behind in the future.
12. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 31, 2010 3:47 PM (in response to kcournoyer)
If it's the same as my issue, it seems as though it is something to do with a corrupt file in your library. Try looking through your items in your library, and if they don't preview in the previeww pane, delete them...

This was excerpted from a reply from nrajbhan, and, by the looks of it, it could be something to do with Flash ... unless, of course, the file had its own Help Menu.
Oh, and by the way nrajbhan, if all that happens in Flash CS4 is that it says "Preview not available" in the Library and you can't drag it onto the stage, how come in Flash CS5 rather than saying this it mucks up your FLA file?
Adobe, you did a 10.0.2 before. Now we need a 11.0.2 patch...
14. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingThe Buke May 31, 2010 9:50 PM (in response to dikuno10)
Nah that was a gif that was present in my Help menu that I created for my e-learning package! It is my folder structure and my image. I did delete it and all works correctly.
However, in saying that, I do agree that a patch is required! I have found a heap of people with the same problem!
15. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingnrajbhan Jun 1, 2010 10:43 AM (in response to dikuno10)
That was actually the first file we've investigated that did NOT crash in Flash CS4 when dragging the corrupt asset to the stage. Also, just because it didn't crash when dragging it onto the stage doesn't mean that it won't crash in other workflows. We've had reports of corrupted assets crashing files while publishing, saving, scrolling through the library, etc. in older versions of Flash as well.
Anyway, it's a good idea to back up your old files before working with them in Flash CS5. We changed the file format from a binary format to a text format ... which is a big change. So there may be edge cases (such as having corrupted assets in the Library) we did not find in our testing even with our extensive suite of FLA files and beta testers.
Some advantages of the new file format are documented by one of my co-workers at http://blog.mencio.com/. Another benefit is that people have sometimes been able to salvage some of their work when a corrupted FLA is saved using the new file format whereas once the old, binary format was corrupted, you lost everything.
Please report any bugs you find due to the new file format at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform (Product = Flash Authoring) so we can investigate.
16. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingdikuno10 Jun 1, 2010 9:21 PM (in response to nrajbhan)
Aha!! Maybe that's the problem!! Perhaps there is a bug in the saving engine in Flash CS5!! That's why only files migrated from CS4 (which uses the binary format) are affected - maybe it's because Flash makes a glitch when changing the binary to XML ... I think it's XML, yes?
Oh, and, what do you mean beta testers? There never was a public beta of Flash CS5. Your developers alone aren't good enough for testing software. I bet anyone in the public would have spotted the binary-to-XML conversion bug when opening a project from CS4...
dikuno <><
17. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingReDrUmNZ Jun 2, 2010 7:43 PM (in response to dikuno10)
I'm getting data corruption migrating files from CS4, and also from new files created in CS5 when saving. The new FLA format is completely screwed. I'm experiencing corruption about 40% of the time I try to save. Its ridiculous. My best advice in the meantime before a patch arrives is to save as uncompressed XFL files. I havent experienced any corruption when saving as XFL (yet?).
18. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingMarkusweden Jun 9, 2010 8:10 AM (in response to The Buke)
I have the exact same problem, running Flash CS5 on OSX 10.6.2 on a Macbook Pro, with the latest update... this is ridiculous, so I can't continue working with my files from CS4? I guess I should have waited a couple of months before upgrading, letting Adobe sort out the bugs etc.
Edit: I can save them as CS4 Flash Files without the software crashing on me, good enough for now. Still ridiculous though.

I have CS3, 4 and 5.
Please... Kevin
21. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingvipertorc5150 Jun 12, 2010 12:40 PM (in response to vipertorc5150)

Thanks... Kevin
22. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingVeryVito Jun 24, 2010 5:56 PM (in response to vipertorc5150)
Same issue here. Crashing every time I save... But strangely enough, I CAN save the file in CS4 format (using CS5).
It seems every time I buy high-end software these days, it turns out to be worse than the previous version.
23. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingtweeek80 Jun 28, 2010 12:01 AM (in response to The Buke)
Same problem or similar. Bigger problem is I cannot load the FLA anymore, even though it doesn't look corrupt - I think it's still the same size it was before. Is there someone I could send the file to for possibly having it fixed?

24. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingReDrUmNZ Jun 28, 2010 1:45 AM (in response to tweeek80)
Try rename your corrupted FLA to .zip and extract its contents. You should be able to salvage your library assets etc however your timeline is lost for good as far as I can tell. If you have an old version of your FLA you can replace the library assets with the newer copies but you'll likely still need to add stuff to stage again and set instance names. I've noticed that by saving as CS5 Uncompressed XFL I have not experienced any further data corruption for the past few weeks. Saving as .FLA is screwed though! Stay away from it until a patch comes out is my advice.
25. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingtweeek80 Jun 28, 2010 2:41 AM (in response to ReDrUmNZ)
Great, will try that. Thanks!
26. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingNancyParker Jun 28, 2010 1:28 PM (in response to The Buke)
Too painful.
I've been managing along with the "missing armature" glitches that show up from time to time and even the tween oddities in CS5. But alas this morning i went to open my project (that I've been working on for weeks) and got the "Unexpected file format." error on opening. I checked the directory and sure enough my file was 1kb. I didn't even recall Flash crashing on save yesterday. But apparently CS5 chewed up my file.
For the record this was a new CS5 AS3 file on Windows Vista 64bit.
Ouch. It just hurts.
27. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingrkbkbvrkbqfvvkjbqfvkbkqfj Jun 29, 2010 10:58 PM (in response to The Buke)
Any updates on a fix for this VERY unstable version?
It seems trying to load an external .swf file crashes my application.
Any news? Better off using CS4...
28. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingnrajbhan Jul 1, 2010 4:07 PM (in response to Markusweden)
Hi Markusweden,
Thanks for emailing us your FLA off-list so we could investigate.
The following .png files are corrupt in the original CS4 file:
'niquitin1.png', '…2.png', '…3.png', '…-logo.png'
'organic1.png', '…2.png', '…3.png'
Flash CS5 crashes when saving as CS5 because Flash has to re-save *all* data when saving a legacy file into the new file format. Once it's in that file format though, Flash can just incrementally save subsequent file saves, just like we do in Flash CS4. It's just that first save requires all data to be serialized out into the new file format. Flash CS5 does not crash when saving as CS4 because it's just incrementally saving the document (ie. the library assets don't have to be serialized into the binary .fla file again).
Note that if you made any changes that requires these assets to be resaved in Flash CS4, you will crash in Flash CS4 as well. Thus, please re-open the FLA in Flash CS4 and re-import or re-create these corrupt PNG assets. Then, you will be able to continue working with the FLA file in Flash CS5.
I hope this helps. We are investigating ways to skip the file serialization when Flash encounters corrupt assets and to notify users of which assets are corrupt to prevent this issue.
29. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingReDrUmNZ Jul 4, 2010 5:45 AM (in response to nrajbhan)
Nivesh: I've had CS5 FLA's corrupt too during saves, not just when converting a file from CS4 to CS5. You never emailed me back about my example FLA's either btw. To be fair it's always when saving to a networked drive which adobe doesn't officially support. The problem with blaming the networked drive is I can save as CS5 XFL onto the same drive without any corruption however saving as a CS5 FLA has a very high chance of corruption. Also CS4 FLA's never corrupt on the same networked drive. It seems to be an issue with the compression/extraction process I believe considering CS5 FLA's are archives instead of binary now. Also why does the DOMDocument.xml file corrupt? It's text!
30. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingHLProductions Jul 21, 2010 4:52 AM (in response to The Buke)
Finally some people that are going through this. I am experiencing these same save crashes and a very similar yet far more destructive and painful defect when exporting to swf. I am now only a few days away from losing my biggest and most important client to date because of this!! At least my export crash is throwing an exception error...Has this helped Adobe email me back or work with me over the phone..not even close.
Every time I export the movie it reaches 100% and it just sticks there until the following exception error appears:
"Exception thrown in destructor
Encountered an improper argument."
When this happens I end up with a 1KB swf file. Unfortunately, every time this dreading export failure happens I have to go back to a previous FLA for the project...The real kicker...Even if a previous FLA was always exporting just fine it will all of a sudden fail to export, even without making a single change to the FLA. If it fails to export ONE TIME this FLA file is forever useless. This problem has left me going back weeks, rebuilding and then boom, export freezes, you loose, do not collect $20,000. I am completely at a loss here and never once, in my entire career, have I felt so helpless. Your tech support is a joke and if I cant finish this project by the end of the week the entire contract gets ripped up.
Sorry everyone here for writing so much on a similar but different nightmare but I am doing everything I can to make my troubles and apparently those of many, known to Adobe. So far I have only fallen more and more behind. These are files created from scratch in CS5! This is insane to me!! I have been awake since Sunday trying to save this project and everything that was going to come of it. I should not be awake/alive right now.
31. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingAlan Jeeves 2 Jul 26, 2010 4:13 AM (in response to The Buke)
I have an fla which was created in flash 8, worked on and saved in cs4. But if opened and saved in CS5 (fla or uncompressed) then opened again in CS5, the IDE just crashes (every time). If you save it as CS4 then it opens ok. But its a pain to down save it as CS4 - adobe should atleast make this easy and quick!
32. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingbyrtman Jul 28, 2010 4:15 PM (in response to The Buke)
Not sure how practical of a solution this is for you, but it helped me solve the corruption problem with the affected assets (assuming they're images) and allowed me to finally save the fla in CS5 format.
So, we can tell which assets are corrupted when you select them in the library and it says 'Preview Not Available'. (Yeah, it wold be nice to detect these somehow using jsfl or something.) Anyways, if you have Photoshop, you can right click on that image and select 'Edit with Photoshop'. Apparently, just doing that alone will 'remove' the corruption of that asset. It's not even necessary to save the image in Photoshop. Once I found the 2-3 files that had this problem, I was able to save to CS5 format with everything else intact.
My images were blank and didn't have a use count, so it wasn't a big loss for me to even just delete them. However, if it's just a couple of files, then it's probably less painful to replace those than to muck with an unusable fla file. Hope this helps someone.
33. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingbx3800 Aug 14, 2010 11:36 AM (in response to The Buke)
Another one bites the dust here..
Opened Cs4 file, 4 hours later and various saves in between, tried to save once again and poof!!
(Unlike some of the other posts, I read, I was actually able to save twice before my final destination.)
Entire machine blanks out, had to force a hard reset, file is corrupted.
Thank you Adobe, for being huge pieces of **** and not properly testing your products, before seeding them into the market.
I truly hope your QC department or ******* exec that made the call not to Beta test, is left browsing the unemployment section.
As much as I love Flash, I'm starting to side with Steve Job's on this one.
Last upgrade I ever purchase.
34. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingFilippo Gregoretti Aug 18, 2010 5:39 AM (in response to The Buke)
I just experienced this problem with a BRAND NEW CS5 AS3 file.
- It has NOTHING to do with conversion from CS4 to CS5,
- there were no corrupt assets in my library (I am a library cleanup maniac).
- I have lost hours of work.
- The movie used to compile properly, and everything worked fine.
- Just after last save, the file was corrupt.
ADOBE should give us an anwer ASAP (not pointing to corrupt assets in library, which in my case do not exist).
Besides, if I have corrupt assets in my library I expect a several hundreds $ package to WARN ME, and not to corrupt my work!
I am a full time Flash developer, and this is SABOTAGE.
35. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingtweeek80 Aug 18, 2010 6:12 AM (in response to Filippo Gregoretti)
As said earlier in this thread, I recommend just saving as CS5 uncompressed XFL instead of FLA until they work out a patch. Haven't had any crashes with XFL.
36. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingFilippo Gregoretti Aug 18, 2010 6:26 AM (in response to The Buke)
I agree with you, xfl from now on.
Problem is: as you said earlier on this post.... just like many other people, I got to this post AFTER file was corrupt
I think I have found a solution to recover corrupt files, at least whats left of them...
I am investigating further and then will post it.
37. Re: Flash CS5 crashing when savingFilippo Gregoretti Aug 18, 2010 7:04 AM (in response to The Buke)
I have found the solution to fix my file
In my case, I had to remove from the XML descriptor of a movieclip a reference to an FLVPlayback component! (don't ask me why)
I am pasting the XML node I had to remove on the bottom, first the step by step solution in case others may stumble on this.
It seems that movieclips get corrupt somehow, so, in order to find which ones, we have to proceed this way:
1 - if you save your file as CS5 FLA, then rename the corrupt file from xxx.fla to xxx.zip.
2 - Unzip the file, and you are going to have the same directory structure as if you save in xfl. Now, if you open the xfl file inside the unzipped folder, you get the same error you get opening the fla.
3 - Go into the LIBRARY folder. This is a hyerarchical representation of your library.
4 - If like I do, your library is well organized in folders and subfolders, this step will not be too annoying. If you have all library items free in the library, then it could be boring. Anyway... The thing here is to find which library items are causing the problem, so you have to remove them one by one, or in groups, and try to launch the xfl each time. When the xfl gets opened, you have removed the right library item.
In my case, even for very large projects, I have only 4 folders in library's root. So what I did, I tried removing one of them, till I found the rightt one. Then I went deeper and deeper, and eventually found the **** movieclip causing the crash.
If its not an important item, you can just happily continue to work and do it again. In my case, it was a vital component, so I went inside the xml definition, and tried to remove nodes untill it finally opened.
The file got opened again, just with a missing reference inside that movieclip.
I have read that often an empty frame may cause the problem, so you should look for <element/> tag.
In my case, was a FLVPlayback component.
Find below the node I had to remove (someone from Adobe may give a look)
It is advised untill Flash CS5 doesn't get stabilized on file save (yeah, I know, a detail!) to store your projects as xfl and not as FLA files. (I don't really know why, since a fla file is just a zipped xfl folder renamed as .fla)
Exhausted but happy.

Fans watching Game 7 between the Chicago Bulls and the Brooklyn Nets may have noticed Joakim Noah celebrating after the game with a young woman wearing a Bulls jersey. Here's the GIF, via @cjzero:
As it turns out, the woman is Noah's younger sister, Yelena. And while she's not as famous as her brother -- the All-Star center who practically willed the Bulls to victory Saturday -- she hasn't done too bad for herself. Yelena is a model, following in the footsteps of her mother, Cécilia Rodhe, who was Miss Sweden 1978. Rodhe's ex-husband, Yelena and Joakim's father, is the former French tennis star Yannick Noah.
And while Joakim is known for his incredible energy and on-court antics, his sister has a much different demeanor.
"Yelena is the coolest person in our family. She is amazingly chill," Rodhe told the Chicago Sun-Times. "Joakim could be overshadowing, but she for some reason found her way to what she wanted to do. I think she had more space growing up and became an incredible, independent individual. She got that by having such a boisterous older brother."
Like Joakim, Yelena is known for mixing different styles. It's a trait she said she gets from her mother.
"The two most valuable fashion lessons my mom taught me are to wear what you like -- not what's in -- and that you don't need to spend a fortune to get great clothes," Yelena said several years ago. "Our eclectic styles are so similar that we usually get mistaken for sisters!"
Yelena is also a jewelry designer, which might help explain her brother's unique necklaces.
So, in summary, the Noah family consists of two star pro athletes and two models. Not a bad gene pool.

I own a small business and have just 32 employees. I heard something last week at a business networking group about having to give my employees health reform information. What's up with this? I don't offer health insurance and as far as I know, I don't have to since I only have 32 people. Now I have to give everyone some kind of notice about a law that doesn't apply to me?
Head Chef, Cook, and Bottle washer
Dear Head Chef,
You have stumbled upon one of the lesser known facets of health reform. You heard correctly: all businesses that have at least $500,000 in annual revenues, whether they offer a plan and no matter how many employees they have, are supposed to give employees a notice describing their rights under health reform.
Certain kinds of businesses are required to give the notice, even if their revenues are less than $500,000: hospitals; institutions primarily engaged in the care of the sick, the aged, mentally ill, or disabled who reside on the premises; schools for children who are mentally or physically disabled or gifted; preschools, elementary and secondary schools, and institutions of higher education; and federal, state and local government agencies
The notice is supposed to be given to employees on October 1st. The federal Department of Labor has two model notices that you can use:
How this rule will be enforced is certainly not clear. To be on the safe side, print out the notice and give it to your staffers. Then get back to the bottle washing . . .

Collector's Item
|Collector's Item
|The Lost and Damned
|Ray Boccino
|Diamonds and the Pegorino Family
|Was It Worth It?
|Unlocked by
|Roman's Holiday
Collector's Item is a mission in GTA IV DLC The Lost and Damned which is given by Ray Boccino to Johnny Klebitz.
After you've kidnapped Roman and turned him over to the Russians at the warehouse, you'll get a phone call from Ray. He wants you to head to The Libertonian and offload the stolen diamonds to some jewellers.
Once you arrive at the museum, walk all the way across to the loading area where you'll hook up with Niko. The meetup cutscene between Johnny and Niko is the exact same from the main story, as is the following cutscene when the group is fired upon from above during the deal by Luis Fernando Lopez. Just like the main story cutscene, some of the other party's members will be killed.
In the hail of gunfire, Johnny grabs the cash and makes a break for it. From here, things get to be a bit different from Johnny and Niko's perspective. You'll start in the upper left hallway, while Niko is on the right. You can actually hear Niko using his taunts during the fire fight as he does when you're playing as him. If you quickly go to the railing and look down at the museum floor, you can see Niko fighting his way to the exit. (Niko can be killed by your weapons, which will fail the mission and trigger a phone call with Ray about Niko's death.)
Just as you did with Niko, you make your way down the hallway killing the foes in your path. However, once you get to the staircase leading down, you'll realize that a ton of the enemies are already dead (all thanks to Niko), making this fight a lot easier for Johnny than it was in the main story. Johnny observes all the dead bodies and comments that he'd hate to have this Niko guy after him because he's "deranged" given the evidence all over the building. Instead of going the way Niko did in the main story mission, you make a sharp left after descending the staircase and head down through where you originally came into the building at.
Outside, Ray's goons are lying in wait, taking cover behind their black luxury sedans. After taking them all out, two cars will make off. Chase down and kill these foes, then evade the police, as you've gained a 3-star wanted rating. Once done, Johnny will call Jim and ask to meet up so Johnny can give him something (the cash stolen from Ray). During the trip over, Ray calls and says he's been informed by Niko that the money was snatched in the midst of the chaos. Johnny pretends he just wanted to escape with his life and had no idea what happened to the money. Ray then threatens Johnny, stating that if he's trying to pull one over on him, he'll pull Johnny's teeth out of his head. You make it to Jim and give him the diamond money stolen from Ray, saying "fuck him" and justifying keeping it. Jim's on-board and agrees to take it from here. After that, the mission's successfully completed.
- This mission is seen in Grand Theft Auto IV from Niko's point of view.
- The mission appears again in The Ballad of Gay Tony, from Luis' point of view.
- If the player kills Niko at anytime during their escape, Johnny will call Ray to tell him Niko died. Ray claims that he never really liked Niko a lot.
- Niko can be heard shooting a SMG during the mission.
- This is the only mission during The Museum Story where all 3 main characters are wearing their clothes they start of with (Niko's clothes arriving to Liberty City, Johnny's Lost Jacket and Luis' clothes seen in all missions before TBOGT).
- When walking through the Libertonian, if you have Terry and Clay with you, Johnny will say 'We've got a motley crew here', a reference to the Glam Metal band Mötley Crüe.

Most of my family on my Dad's side have names that follow the methodology, including my very own one.
I've got a cousin, fifteen times removed, twice added back and then tangentially attached via a flux capacitor, which is to say that she's pretty damn close in Lankan terms, who lives in London with her relatively new husband. She's actually the generation below, so calls me "Uncle", which galls me slightly, me being the rock 'n' roll geezerish cool Dad that I like to think of myself as. For the purpose of this post we'll call her "S".
And then, on the other side, the husband, truth be told a nice enough bloke, doesn't call me "Uncle" and that slightly annoys me. He's been in England a few years and clearly doesn't deem it necessary. I even whipped his disrespectful little brown arse at Carrom some months ago, twenty nine nil no less, and despite that he continues to address me on first name terms!
So anyhow, I have to tell you his name in order to tell you the story, but I'd be eternally grateful if you'd keep it to yourself, you'll understand why by the end. Yes, his name is "Falik". It's a normal sounding Muslim name in many ways and when my family met him we just accepted it and used it accordingly.
It was only some months later that one of us (me) realised there was a large dose of humour to be gained from it, what with it actually having a decent sexual meaning and all. You can imagine the joking that went on for quite a while, all behind his back of course. In fact, it continues.
The other day I was sitting round at my parents' place, just casually shooting the breeze with them as one does. My Dad, who is getting much better at a pretty good pace, was doing his usual thing of ignoring most things and making random comments related to the conversation before the one before. My Mum was doing her usual thing; that lethal mixture of questioning blended with narrating facts about all sorts of people, the questioning carefully designed to make you listen, unless you're my Dad.
"Oh S is pregnant by the way" she said.
"Ah right" I responded. It wasn't really a surprise to anyone, except perhaps S.
"Yes" continued my maternal unit.
"Fuckme and S came round the other day"
"Ah okay" said I, your narrator.
At this point an interesting thing happened. You know about probability trees, the way that events can take an infinite amount of possible outcomes, depending on the minutest of details? Well if you're a religious person or someone who believes in fate then you may think differently, but I favour the probability tree scenario.
And, soon after my Mum had called him "Fuckme" the conversation started to proceed along one path, that of the three of us not realising that that wasn't his actual name and just carrying on with our chat. But something nagged at me (I'm razor sharp like that) and I dragged us back to the intersection on the probability tree.
"Hold on, that's not his name is it, he's not called 'Fuckme' is he?"
"No he's not" said my Dad
"No, now what is his name again?" retorted the mother.
We sat there thinking for what seemed like minutes. It was in fact, minutes. I'm certain that what was going through our three heads was the same sort of thing, an extremely rare occurrence when my Dad's around, as you know. It was something like:
"What the hell is his name? It's something crammed full of sexual innuendo, but it's not 'Fuckme'?"
Then my Mum remembered.
"Ah God, it's not Fuckme, it's Falik, yes that's it"
"Of course" we all thought and said.
And continued talking rubbish.

Students injured as Pa. school bus flips on side
Fourteen students were injured in a crash Wednesday morning involving a school bus in eastern Pennsylvania.
One student was airlifted to another hospital for more critical treatment following the crash of a Lancaster Mennonite bus in East Lampeter Township. A second student is also awaiting a transfer. The other students, 12 of them, have all been discharged.
"One student was ejected from the bus," reads a statement from the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office. "The student was seriously injured."
The crash happened around 8 a.m. on Lincoln Highway East (Route 30) near the intersection of Route 896. Route 30 is closed between Route 896 and North Cherry Lane. As of 11 a.m., officials expected the road to remain closed for another two hours, possibly longer.
Police say they are looking for a late model, white sedan with front-end damage in connection with the crash. The car was last seen traveling east on Route 30. The car was seen by witnesses passing other vehicles. If you have any information that could help investigators, contact the East Lampeter police at 717-291-4676.
"Initial information indicates the wanted driver (described only as a male) caused the crash by attempting to pass two tractor-trailers and their escort vehicles while headed east on Lincoln Highway East. The bus was traveling west. As the sedan driver was making the pass (into the opposing lane), the bus was approaching from that lane. The sedan veered back into the east lane, striking the rear of an escort vehicle. That escort vehicle was pushed into the westbound lane and side-swiped the bus, causing the bus to yaw and impact one of the tractor-trailer's load. The bus then tipped onto its side," the DA's office says.
Initially 14 students, ranging in age from 7 to 16, the bus driver and the driver of the escort vehicle were all taken to the hospital. Three of the injured were trauma patients.

Resizing /usr
Hey all
My current situation is as follows:
windows 20GB
free 20GB
FreeBSD 7.XXGB
-- /tmp 300MB
-- /usr 6GB
-- /var 500MB
Ubuntu 30GB
As the title suggests, I want to resize my /usr partition to occupy the free 20GB.
Please note:
1) I have no other drive to backup FreeBSD to
2) I am not connected to any other machine to which I can send the data
3) This is my laptop, and I'm willing to experiment anything that may lead to loss of data, as long as it might work
4) I am NOT willing to reinstall, I have just built too much from source and it has taken a long time..
5) I'm kinda new to FreeBSD...
I've searched around for a while, but found nothing interested..
Any help?
Last edited by abdo88; 7th July 2008 at 04:12 PM. Reason: Adding partitions in FreeBSD slice
Why would you like to resize /usr
Why not to use free space to create /home ?
p.s. I'm new to freebsd as well, but i don't think you can resize drive without using another drive to backup data....
you could use dump and restore (haven't tried to use it for resizing, but i think it should work)
Thanks for the reply... From your reply, you probably work on Linux... I'm not having any problem with home... However, my major concern is with /usr (this is where all the action goes on...) especially that I'm intending to build X and KDE..
About dumping, dump to where? I have no other hard disks and no network connections...
Easier problem...
OK, here is an easier problem.... If I archive /etc, /boot and /usr and burn the archives to CDs/DVDs... If I reinstall and paste these back, will my exact same system be back the way it was??
Last edited by abdo88; 7th July 2008 at 05:27 PM.
You can use geom(8) gconcat(8) utility for adding aditional free space to /usr label.
Explore GEOM and its modules for more information.
Note that philosophy is different than what is currently provided in other alternative operating systems.
Was that a reply to my first or second question ?
In either case, could you please elaborate a bit more?
For your first question, second one is dumb.
Read both manual pages, provided as link in my previous post. Than read other manual pages listed in SEE ALSO in every manual page.
In situation like this I move /usr/ports (and if necessary /var/tmp) to /home and make symbolic link to them...
This is how i compiled OpenOffice on my PC
After that i move them back
/tmp 512M
/usr 12GB (ain't enough to compile OpenOffice, only 5.3GB is free)
/var 3GB
Note that if you do like i did, then later recompiling some other apps, make sure to remove work (or what was the correct name) directory, otherwise there will be problems during compilation
Last edited by graudeejs; 7th July 2008 at 06:29 PM.
That's actually quite a nice idea!! It never occurred to me... So one more question how do I enlarge the FreeBSD slice (partition magic et al. won't recognize it)?
Last edited by abdo88; 7th July 2008 at 06:45 PM.
How much you free space you got on Ubuntu drive????
If it's enough, you could use it to store /usr backup...
you will need 1 to 6 GB free space (depends if you will or not compress backup).... hmm, but restore works only on UFS, so you might need to use tar, but that might make some problems (with links maybe, idk, read man tar)
Last edited by graudeejs; 7th July 2008 at 06:36 PM.
*My Personal Opinion*
Use the free 20GB to create a new slice with several partitions, where ever your 'bulges' will be and mount them or create a big slice/1partition and symlink them from a diff mount point.
It is less trouble then relabing the disk and having to go through updating stuff, especially since you have so little backup options and extra disk space available for it.
freespace -> ad0sX
ad0sXa -> /usr/local
ad0sXb -> /usr/src
ad0sXd -> /usr/obj
ad0sXe -> /usr/ports
ad0sXa -> /where/ever
and create sym links to /usr/{obj,src,ports,local} to /where/ever/{obj,src,ports,local}.
For example, my file server recently got a second hard drive.
I dumped the contents of /usr/local, deleted the old, formated a slice with a partitioin for it and mounted it on /usr/local and then restored the files.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
Great idea! Thanks
Thanks a lot! This seems so far like the (almost) optimal solution...
However, I have 2 questions in mind:
1) Can I change the partition mounted as /usr ?
2) If yes, can the new /usr partition be on a different slice?
If the answer to the above 2 is yes, I am thinking of making the 20GB free space into a /usr and using the 6 for smthg else (e.g. /home)...
EDIT: that is make the 20GB another 1-slice partition..
EDIT: in case this works, will it hurt the performance? if yes, to what extent?
Last edited by abdo88; 7th July 2008 at 11:37 PM.
yeah as long as you update the /etc/fstab file correctly.
basically some thing like this would *probably* work:
# fdisk ad0 ... use fdisk to create the partition from the free space, hence forth called ad0sX # bsdlabel -e ad0sXa ... create the disk label for the new slice # newfs /dev/ad0sXa # mount /dev/ad0sXa /mnt # tar -cf - -C /usr . | tar -xvpf - -C /mnt ... copies files over vi /etc/fstab ... change the device being mounted on /usr ... if you have a preferred screen editor instead of vi, feel free to use it reboot
# mount /dev/ad0sYz /mnt .. where ad0sYz was your old /usr partition (e.g. ad0s3e in the above) # rm -rvf /mnt/*
It's not exactly how I would do it but close enough. The reason for the reboot is because you may have programs stored in /usr that are running while doing this and it is best not to delete the data files while running the programs! Rebooting is not necessary but, you could say makes the process simpler to follow without bringing the system to single user mode (which would generally be best imho).
Note: I have not used FreeBSDs 'bsdlabel' in ages and of course assume no responsibility for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any of this.
If your not familiar with using bsdlabel you can always use the -n switch to it which will do a 'dry run' that won't *actually* write changes out, e.g. bsdlabel -ne ad0

Thanks a lot for the help... Unfortunately, I had to just give up and reinstall BSD... since I cannot create more than 4 primary slices :S...
Anyways, thanks a lot to all those who helped...

amorphic posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubHello, I am looking at 2004/ 2005 CMax 1.6 TDCIs (I would like a 2.0 TDCI but can't justify insurance increase). May I pick your collective brains for advice on general & specific issues? General Issues to look out for I have gleaned from here and other sites; (Please comment or add some more) DPF issues (how using ETIS can you determine if the car is DPF or not? Am I right in thinking EU4 1. TDCI engines have DPFs? So 2000 EEC (EEC 7) 1.6 TDCIs are non DPF?) Leaking boot seals at bottom of boot door Leaking bulkhead (wet passenger or driver footwells) Avoid EPB cars Air con problems Eats tyres and brakes (possible driving style and tyre brand issues) Dodgy fuel econ on TDCI pre 2005, possible updates to ECU can improve. CVT / Powershift failure Flat battery issue Issues on a dealer car I looked at (2005 1.6 TDCI Zetec for £4k with 70k on clock 1. ABS light is lit on the dashboard, its claimed as a result of an alternator replacement causing sensor failure. The dealer claims the sensor will be replaced. Is this likely or something to worry about? 2. Dashboard instrument panel plastic window was cracked at the bottom and covered up with black electrical tape which was not good. Not sure why that would be cracked other than instrument panel repair being bodged. Any ideas why this would be cracked? Is the plastic window replacable or is it the whole instrument panel replacement? 3. Engine bay looked steam cleaned. Something to worry about as possibly hiding a leak or just because it looks better? 4. Black plastic engine cover from the engine bay was missing which is odd. Is it aesthetic rather than functional? 5. One of the alloy wheels had part of lacquer missing which is to be expected in a 8 year old car. I was surprised the alloys were not kerbed. 6. Seats need a deep shampoo and clean as sandy dust grime on them 7. When I lifted the seats rear seats (checking comfort system & tip n tumble) there was dog hair and sandy grit underneath indicated the garage need better valets. I was prepared to pay a premium to buy from a dealer chain rather than private or non dealer chain as I thought the cars are of a better standard and you can throw the car back at them if there are problems in the 1st 3-6 months. But this experience has made me seriously doubt the standard of the cars as it makes a mockery of the supposed multi-point checks! Thanks for any help in advance! Adam Quick Reply

MyVolleySite by Volleyball Media Solutions
We are a few peeps who grew up in the volleyball community as athletes and now as coaches. We have find not that there is a lack of recruiting websites out there, but coaches at the college level aren't using them to recruit athletes, they aren't very niche specific to a sport and they are cumbersome. Therefore we are now in the business of helping high school girls/boys find scholarships through an internet based application which houses pertinent information on each athlete and can be disseminated to college coaches easily.
12-20 year old males and females interested in playing volleyball at the collegiate level.
These people are die-hard volleyball players serious about taking their athletic abilities to the next level. The hopes are to have their college education paid for by an institution.
BE CREATIVE!!!! Isn't that what this site is all about?
We need a logo, brand, image to help us develop our concept further. There are no pre-existing materials to be shared at this time.
No volleyballs in logo please.
We are thinking the site will be whites, blues, and purples perhaps although if we find a logo design we really like we are open to considering other color schemes.
If we really really like your logo we are open to contract work with that specific designer to complete the entire site.
The name of the site will be MyVolleySite by Volleyball Media Solutions, although, Volleyball Media Solutions does not have to be in the logo. We are also open to other names for the site if something so ingeniously pops into your mind.

Rams Capitalize On Their Scoring Chances
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The final statistics were pretty even. The number of quality scoring chances were close. The difference in Yale's season opener with Fordham on Friday was the Rams capitalized on their opportunities. The result was a 2-0 victory for Fordham at Jack Coffey Field.
The Bulldogs outshot the Rams 9-6 and had a 10-4 advantage in corner kicks.
"There were a lot of bright moments," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "I thought we were dynamic and dangerous. We got behind their defense fairly often. We just have to have a sharper finish."
The Rams, who were playing their third game of the season, scored first at 6:24 on a goal from Ryan Walsh.
"That was their first real attack of the game," Tompkins said.
Ryan Cupolo added an insurance goal midway through the second half.
"We didn't clear a free kick so that was disappointing," Tompkins said.
The Bulldogs had six corner kicks but couldn't capitalize.
Three newcomers saw action for Yale. Freshman Henry Albrecht started, while sophomore Henos Musie, a transfer from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden, and freshman Cameron Kirdzik each came off the bench.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Tuesday at Sacred Heart.
"We'll learn from [tonight]," Tompkins said. "I feel this team is evolving quickly. We'll work on getting better for Tuesday."

A programmer at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has been arrested by the FBI at his office and charged with stealing proprietary source code.
Chunlai Yang, 49, is accused of planning to steal proprietary software from the CME – one of the world's largest futures exchanges – to sell to a Chinese start up that he ran. Details from emails he sent have already been made public in court.
Yang faces up to 10 years in prison, and a $250,000 (£156,000) fine if found guilty of the offence. He is being held in police custody after a detention hearing in a Chicago court yesterday. He had booked a ticket on a flight bound for China today. Yang has not made a public comment regarding the charges.
A naturalised American born in China, Yang joined CME eleven years ago. The exchange began to monitor his computer activity after he allegedly began transferring thousands of files, some onto USB memory sticks.
Yang was emailing three individuals in China, sometimes with valuable source code, according to prosecutors. One of his contacts worked for the Zhangiagang Free Trade Zone. Two worked with Yang to run the East China Technology Innovation Park Company, a firm that allegedly planned to establish a futures exchange in China that would sell trading software.
After yesterday's court hearing, the FBI said in a statement: "Many of the downloaded files were critical to the operation of the CME Group and are considered proprietary in nature and contain protected source code.
"If the source code were to be released to competitors, clients or anyone else in the financial industry, it could cause great economic damage."
CME Group insisted that it had "found no evidence that customer information, trading data or required regulatory information was compromised". The case continues.

As Jesus' followers, it is imperative that we keep the gospel central in all we say and do. Sadly the gospel could so easily get lost in the discussion surrounding same sex marriage. The most important question is: do you believe that Jesus is who said and showed he was? Do you believe that Jesus is Lord? Jesus' lordship rules over all of our orientations and lifestyles and marriages and gender and sexuality. Therefore, what one believes about Jesus is far more important than one thinks about homosexuality. We must remember and communicate that Jesus saves and transforms all sorts of sinners. We must remember that Jesus zealously opposes our sins of lust and greed and porn and anger and self-righteousness and pride and impatience and (you get the point).
So, I encourage you to equip yourself with some thoughtful, biblical instruction.
Tim Keller on How to Treat Homosexuals
"How I Wish the Homosexuality Debate Would Go" by Trevin Wax
Host: So how do you reconcile the command to love all people with a position on homosexuality that some would say is radically intolerant?
Pastor: (smiling) If you think my position on homosexuality is radical, just wait until you hear what else I believe! I believe that a teenage guy and girl who have sex in the backseat of a pick-up are sinning. The unmarried heterosexual couple living down the street from me is sinning. In fact, any sexual activity that takes place outside of the marriage covenant between a husband and wife is sinful. What's more, Jesus takes this sexual ethic a step further and goes to the heart of the matter. That means that any time I even lust after someone else, I am sinning. Jesus' radical view of sexuality shows all of us up as sexual sinners, and that's why He came to die. Jesus died to save lustful, homo- and heterosexual sinners and transform our hearts and minds and behavior. Because He died for me, I owe Him my all. And as a follower of Jesus, I'm bound to what He says about sex and morality.
"How to Win the Public on Homosexuality" by Collin Hansen
Look no further for our culture's confessional statement in three points:
- God made me this way.
- He wouldn't deny my natural desires.
- And I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else.
You won't understand the challenge facing Christians regarding homosexuality until you see how these three points permeate our culture. On the surface, we appear to be locked in a battle of rights we can't win. Christians declare our right to speak out and legislate according to religious conviction in defense of traditional institutions. Gays pursue their right to life, liberty, happiness with regard to their sexuality. But homosexuality fronts a much bigger challenge that threatens us all.
"Same-Sex Marriage Makes a Lot of Sense" by Michael Horton
Same-sex marriage makes sense if you assume that the individual is the center of the universe, that God—if he exists—is there to make us happy, and that our choices are not grounded in a nature created by God but in arbitrary self-construction. To the extent that this sort of "moralistic-therapeutic-deism" prevails in our churches, can we expect the world to think any differently? If we treat God as a product we sell to consumers for their self-improvement programs and make personal choice the trigger of salvation itself, then it may come as a big surprise (even contradiction) to the world when we tell them that truth (the way things are) trumps feelings and personal choice (what we want to make things to be).
