Jellybean is amazing, and its just great on the Nexus 4, its fast its responsive and it looks cleaner than a crew cut.
My only reservation is in Googles decision in having a loose requirement for developers application icons, their UI is so clean and sleek then it is completely ruined by these low resolution icons, icons that are smaller than others, and some that have just disgusting colour combinations, the one thing apple did right was have form factor in their icons.
Whats even worse is that after all these years of the android community putting up with these disgusting apps, they still to this day have not found a way to change or edit icons (without of course using a 3rd party launcher, or shortcuts)
WHY would i want to lose my beautiful 4.2 experience to use something like APEX or GO Launcher which lets face it... they are nothing in comparison to 4.2.
I might just be black sheep in the bunch, or maybe i have sensitive eyes. But its really a problem for me!
How are you guys coping with this?

Washington | The United States underestimates the long-term impact of civilian deaths on the success of military missions and is failing to implement lessons learned from 15 years in Afghanistan, according to a report released today.
While the US military is committed to avoiding civilian casualties, the report said that mistaken air strikes, misidentified target, unexploded ordinance and rogue partners have frequently led to non-combatant deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere.
The study by Open Society Foundations, a charity founded by US magnate and philanthropist George Soros, found that in Afghanistan, such deaths seriously undermined the mission and fueled the growth of the Taliban. Civilian harm accelerated the insurgency and undermined the US and Afghan governments, said Army combat veteran Christopher Kolenda, a study co-author. It was like burning a candle at both ends with a blowtorch.
The report describes several causes of civilian casualties, and is particularly critical of unplanned air strikes to support troops on the ground as being a primary driver of civilian harm. In Afghanistan in 2008, for instance, air strikes accounted for 64 percent of the 828 non-combatant deaths blamed on pro-government forces, and 26 percent of those killed overall.
Signature strikes — when an individual or group of military-aged males is tracked over time and targeted for engaging in behavior that is deemed to be suspicious — are a particular concern, the report states. Additionally, the report blasts predatory partners the United States worked with in Afghanistan who could operate with near impunity due to their close and highly visible relationship to the US military.
Study authors make a slew of recommendations including the implementation of civilian protection cells that would monitor civilian harm and communicate with commanders to improve battlefield decision making.

Zero Shock III Laptop Case Review
The friendly staff from GearZap offered to send me for review a shock resistant laptop case, which came not only as a welcomed gift, but also as a perfect accessory for my new Ultrabook.
With the latest growth of travel blogging, the need of having a laptop at hand has become a necessity, and so it has become the right laptop bag. At least for me, a person who knows pretty well how a peaceful weekend getaway can turn into a crazy off road adventure into a blink of an eye.
However, the first thing that caught my attention when the Zero Shock III Laptop Case arrived was, of course, the slim wearable design, which surprisingly was much more stylish than you'd normally expect from a shock resistant bag. I suddenly felt in love with the delicate, yet water-repellent material on the outside, but that didn't stop the skeptic in me to do the water test. Although it's not entirely waterproof, the drops had no chance against the ingenious fabric finish.
The front pocket is extremely subtle, but provides enough space to store small accessories and personal items such as documents, wallet, cellphone, keys, memory cards and even tablets, making it easy to stay organized.
The interior is clean and soft, without pockets or zippers, ensuring that your precious laptop won't risk any scratch. Moreover, the wave-shaped layout and the low-rebound polyurethane material used offer an excellent low shock protection, which makes it a quite impressive travel gadget.
Although the Zero Shock III Laptop Case has been intended for laptops up to 15.4", the well-conceived design has proved to be a perfect match for my super slim HP Envy Ultrabook. Another interesting feature here is the interior memory foam able to adapt to the shape of your laptop.
As a conclusion, the Zero Shock III Laptop Case is a great value for money (£21.95); it has a beautiful elegant design and is perfect for both travel and general use.
- Super Shock absorption
- Water-repellent material
- Super slim
- Wearable, yet stylish black design
- Excellent value
- Double zip for easy access
- The versatile design allows it to be used on its own or as a protection when you're a serious backpacker and need to tuck your laptop in a larger bag.
- No shoulder strap

We're not going to lie and say that it doesn't simply because we know that the way that the Tenuate dosage is laid out sure screams EXTREME. Now, let's see if there is any other options. After all, Tenuate does lack a lot so we want to be aware of what weight loss opportunities that we may have, yet we don't know about it yet.

The Beta Blocker
& Clonidine Protocol
(a.k.a. How to avoid death for
a dollar)
Art Wallace, M.D., Ph.D
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology
University of California, San Francisco
Veterans Affairs Medical Center San Francisco
I am Art
Wallace and I have given this lecture many times and decided
it needed to be made more widely available. It has been titled many
things, and although "How to Avoid Death for a Dollar"
was one of my favorites, we finally decided on BBAC: the Beta Blocker
and Clonidine protocol. The reason I am not just calling this the
Beta Blocker protocol is several fold. First, there are other medications
that are not beta blockers that can be used in patients who are
intolerant of beta blockade. Perioperative beta blockade now includes
a second line agent, clonidine, that is useful in patients who have
a contraindication to beta blockers. Moreover, I want to emphasize
that BBAC is intended to do something very different from risk
stratification, which is the classic approach to patients with
cardiac risk coming for surgery. BBAC is
risk reduction therapy. There is still risk, it is just
reduced by BBAC.
Perioperative beta blockade has been in use since
1996 to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. Clonidine
was more recently found to have the same effect for patients who
have a contraindication to beta blockers. BBAC has been proven to
significantly lower rates of perioperative mortality.

The QuEST Committee and University Friends Meeting are happy to announce that Promise Welkin Partner will be joining us as QuEST's Director in May. Promise comes to us from Oregon, where she has been active in the Eugene Friends Meeting. A Christian Quaker, she is part of the 2016 cohort of the Way of the Spirit: Contemplative Study in Community, a convergent Friends spiritual formation program. For the last 10 years, she has worked in independent schools including Olney Friends School as an English teacher, advisor, dorm parent, and administrator. Promise is excited to join QuEST as its 6th Director, to mentor and learn from the amazing young adults we host each year, and to develop spiritual programming and provide spiritual nurture.
In addition to her professional work advising high school students, Promise will draw on her personal experiences as she supports the Fellows in community life and on the job. As a student at Bryn Mawr College, she lived with twelve other women in a vegan and activist co-op that operated on a consensus model. She first started attending Meeting during college, and she sees Friends as a religious tradition whose beliefs and practices meet young people where they are. Promise also knows the experience of a year of service as she served as an AmeriCorps VISTA after college, working with youth in Burlington, Vermont. (Fun fact: She applied to be a QuEST Fellow first!)
Promise loves to dance, she plays Ultimate Frisbee, and she draws solace and inspiration from contemporary free verse poetry (William Stafford is a go-to). Promise has been active in the Eugene chapter of SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice) and hopes to continue her education and activism for racial justice when she moves. Her husband Avery Partner Welkin grew up in Olympia. His grandparents are Jack and Judy Brown, who were active in the University Friends Meeting for over 30 years before helping to form Agate Passage Friends Meeting. Promise and Avery will move to Seattle in early May, and Avery is looking for work, too. He is an experienced arborist and landscaper and a certified secondary social studies, language arts, and ESL teacher. Please pass on any leads to current QuEST Director Alisa Bieber at email@example.com.

Training Camp Roundup: Manziel ineligible for NFL's Supp. Draft
Training camp roundup looks at Johnny Manziel's ineligibility and all the big stories surrounding the NFL.
With the NCAA reportedly investigating Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, there's been an even bigger push to discuss Manziel's NFL future. I tend to think that the autograph business will help Manziel in the long run, mainly because it's an issue that people will actually be sympathetic toward.
This isn't Manziel partying (allegedly partying?) at the Manning Passing Academy and this isn't Manziel acting like he won't listen to authority figures or be coachable when it matters.
Anyway, our brothers from a younger mother at Eye on College Football have you covered on most things Manziel (including his shockingly bad odds of playing Week 1!) but we'll go ahead and note here that Manziel, if he were to be suspended by the NCAA, wouldn't be eligible for the NFL Supplemental Draft.
There are a few reasons for this. One, the draft already happened. Two, it's unlikely Manziel would be suspended (or not suspended) by the time the season was set to start. And three -- and most importantly -- he's not three years removed from high school. Manziel needs another season in order to be eligible -- it'll be fascinating to see just how many games he gets to play and what happens to his NFL stock during the season.
I'm sure we'll hear a thing or two about it.
Get out of the water! Get out of the water! Robert Griffin III met with the media Monday. One of the questions for the 'Skins' franchise quarterback who also happens to be recovering from offseason knee surgery? If Shark Week (No, not a euphemism; Yes, the one that airs annually on the Discovery Channel in August) was a distraction. It's not. But it did result in this tweet from the official Shark Week feed:
.@RGIII's knee hasn't been a concern for us either. #Redskins MT @hogshaven: RGIII said #SharkWeek has not been a distraction so far— Shark Week (@SharkWeek) August 5, 2013
'Hard Knocks' Life
Tuesday night will be the debut of 2013's season of Hard Knocks, featuring youuuuuuuur Cincinnati Bengals. Personally I'm pumped up to see this team, and tend to think they're getting a bad rap because the Bengals have already done this series before.
HBO and NFL Films knock it out of the park every year anyway, and there are a large number of interesting characters on this team who deserve more coverage. Three guys that count in that group: rookies Giovani Bernard, Tyler Eifert and Margus Hunt. Fortunately, per SI.com's Richard Deitsch, all three will be mic'd up early on.
Apparently so is defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer (along with offensive coordinator Jay Gruden) meaning there's some strong potential for these early episodes.
Tuesday, Aug. 6, will be premiere at 10 p.m. ET with replays on Wednesday thru Monday at various times.
Quadzilla and Justin Timberlake
Given all the ancillary stuff that goes on around Redskins training camp, it's amazing anything ever gets accomplished on the field. But that's where focus, determination and grit come in, we guess. Whatever, here's WUSA (Washington, D.C.) reporter Dave Owens having a "quad-off" with Redskins tight end Chris Baker.
We'll let you decide which quad belongs to Owens.
Meanwhile, Barry Cofield paid homage to Justin Timberlake by doing this to one of his songs:
Thanks to the Sports Bogfor doing the lord's work.
Is this the year the Steelers commit to the running game?
A season ago, the Steelers' running game was among the league's worst. It ranked 31st according to Football Outsiders, which explains why the team has decided to move to a zone-blocking scheme, one that will now feature Le'Veon Bell, the second-round pick out of Michigan St.
So what can we expect in 2013? A big improvement, according to Lance Zierlein, the man behind TheSideLineView.com. Writing for Rotoworld.com, Zierlein notes that "The Steelers finally have athleticism up front, and plan on utilizing that athleticism with a greater reliance on outside-zone plays to stretch the defensive front from sideline to sideline."
"This is the first year for this offensive line to play together as one, cohesive unit so I'm not looking for the running attack to explode overnight. But I do think we will finally see the Steelers actually commit to running the football after giving lip service to "commitment to Steelers football" during Mike Tomlin's tenure as head coach. Last year, the Steelers were next to last in "clean yards" per attempt for their running backs at only 1.7 ypa. That will get better this year."
When you're near the bottom of the NFL in rushing, there's plenty of room for improvement. "Look for the Steelers to run the ball more and with greater success," Zierlein notes, "but I think their ceiling is probably the top 15."

BROOMFIELD — Some attending a public meeting Tuesday night about the reconstructed U.S. 36 between Boulder and Denver resented the fact the highway will include a "Lexus Lane" that only a well-heeled minority will be able to use.
They were referring to a tolled express lane that will be part of U.S. 36 when it opens this summer. Motorists without an electronic pass will have to pay $13.68 to use the toll lane from Interlocken to Denver. Those with an Express Toll pass would pay $7.60.
Cars with at least two passengers can drive free.
"Why didn't we add another free lane?" Westminster's Mark Rawlins asked. "Someone soon will say, 'Let's toll the whole road.' Well, a lot of people don't have the money to ride on something like that."
Rawlins was among about 30 people who listened as state transportation officials describe the proposed tolling schedule for the revamped U.S. 36, which will also include newly widened, toll-free, general-purpose lanes.
"What we are offering commuters is a lot of choices," said Amy Ford, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Transportation. "At the same time, we are also alleviating congestion on that roadway."
The first phase of the $497 million project, from Federal Boulevard to West 88th Avenue, is scheduled to be finished this summer.
The toll lanes — officially called U.S 36 Express Lanes — will stretch from Pecos Street to Table Mesa Drive.
They will host tolled single-occupant vehicles, high-occupancy vehicles including vans, cars with multiple passengers, and Bus Rapid Transit, which are buses specially built for quick and efficient travel down the turnpike, according to CDOT.

The Demand for Excess Reserves in the Euro Area and the Impact of the Current Credit Crisis
One of the risks that banks need to manage, in their financial intermediation activities, is liquidity risk. Thus, banks hold reserves for precautionary reasons, in order to keep enough cash to meet their obligations. In this work, we analyze the demand for excess reserves by Euro Area banks, since the change in the framework of the single monetary policy in March 2004. Our main conclusions are that there is a positive relationship between the demand for reserves and its financing cost and also that the environment of uncertainty present in the credit crisis is not significant in the demand for excess reserves: the ECB achieved control over the money market tensions.

Modern cricket is no joke. All sorts of questions were raised on India's tour of England. With so much strain, even George Carlin would forgive the modern cricketer for resorting to the odd self-help book or two.
On the 1998 tour of India, poor Shane Warne was kept away from his beloved canned beans, which no doubt led to a deterioration in his performances. For him, we recommend Who Moved My Cheese?
A man so prone to injury you'd wonder why they'd let him run anything more than five paces to deliver a cricket ball, Ashish Nehra should pick up The 4-Hour Body, ideally suiting him for the other format. You know, the one all the ninnies play.
He had to get a lazy board to agree to his rebel tournament. He had to tap people busy posing for Filmfare or Business Today on the shoulder. Then there were all the snooty television companies to convince. Plus, he had a squeaky, lispy voice. Didn't seem to matter. We'd be surprised if Lalit Modi didn't have a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People on his bookshelf.
Be proactive. Begin with the end in mind. Put right things first. Think win-win. Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. Synergise. Sharpen the Saw. All habits that have helped Shahid Afridi at various points of time, from scoring a century off 37 balls in his first international innings to helping take* Pakistan to a World Twenty20 victory. However, instead of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we recommend that he be sent a copy of its follow-up, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.
Apparently, all players who were invited to be a part of the IPL auction were given a copy of Deepak Chopra's Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life by the BCCI. Of course, this was not before Allen Stanford had placed an order for 22 copies of The One-Minute Millionaire.
A set of fans sent the MCC Coaching Manual to Suresh Raina after they found him struggling with the rising ball in England. But wait, that's not a self-help book, you argue. Ah, think again...
Australia weren't having a very happy time in the early '80s. They lost 19 of their first 50 Tests, and 42 of their first 87 ODIs (admittedly, they lost none of their T20 matches, a commendable effort given the circs). And then Allan Border became captain. He turned things around quite nicely - winning a lot more (the World Cup, to boot), before setting the platform for his successors to dominate things. We hear that his effects contain a copy of You Can Win.
Once asked by a kid if he had ever indeed played cricket, Richie Benaud was sent a copy of Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by a friend tired of him sitting at home after his last Test and muttering constantly, "Now what the bloody hell do I do?" (An early version of the same book was sent to Jack Hobbs as a 40th birthday present).
I tried my best to not do this one, but I couldn't resist. Sachin Tendulkar gets The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.
There was also a brave publisher who wanted to gift Colin Croft a book on anger management but decided not to after the legendary West Indian made it public that he was looking for people to practise against in the nets.
Corrected from original, which said Afridi captained in the World Twenty20 victory

Sorry to nitpick but Afridi was not the captain in that World T20 win ;p
nice one though!
Posted by Yasir on (September 27, 2011, 7:40 GMT)
Shahid Afridi may have lead his side to the victory in T-20 World cup, however,he was not the captain of that side. It was another Pathan, Younis Khan who acted as skipper. Otherwise, very good article.... :)

Regular switchgear preventative maintenance programs can help reduce accidents, potentially save lives and help minimize loss of revenue, from an unforeseen shutdown of equipment.
Proper attention to your electrical system's reliability suggests a regular plan of maintaining the "heart" of your facility.
The frequency depends upon the environment, condition, and age, of the equipment. Moisture and heat, combined with dirt, dust and other contaminates, will deteriorate insulation, conductive material and protective devices, at an accelerated rate. Depending on load and usage, regular switchgear maintenance needs to be considered.
Regular switchgear maintenance should always include the following:
• Test the GFI trip set point
Switchgear rated 1200 Amps and above, are required to have a GFI on the main. The GFI is designed to de-energize the system if there is more than 4 – 6 milliamps of current leaking to ground. Knowing that your GFI is actively working, will save you from personal injury, or even the the results of fires.
• Exercise and Lubricate Switches
The majority of all switchgear mains use bolted pressure switches. It is vital to periodically inspect the mechanical operation of the switch, due to the nature and history of them failing to open and close the circuit. Not only are the "mains" important to inspect, but also all of your branch circuits. Sprint Electrical will exercise and lubricate all switches to ensure they are operating correctly.
• Vacuum and clean interior of gear
Depending on the environment your switchgear is subjected to, it is important to regularly vacuum the combustible dust, and fibers, inside your switchgear.
• Tork all branch circuits to manufacturers specifications
All of the copper wiring within your facility will expand and contract due to your load demand. Over time, the termination points of the wires will become loose and highly-resistive. A highly-resistive termination spot means high heat levels, which in turn, will become dangerous and damaging to your electrical system.
• Visually inspect for any immediate dangers
We supply highly-trained technicians to perform visual inspections, to ensure all components are in proper working order and there are no apparent code violations, as well as hazardous hot spots.

Glastonbury in a Day
On my last visit to England I was determined to find the ghost of King Arthur. Maybe even Camelot itself. So, I thought, what better place to chase the enchanted Arthurian legend than Glastonbury. Located in Somerset, in southwest England, Glastonbury is known for many things. It's home to Glastonbury Abbey, Tor, and the world-famous Glastonbury Festival. But it's also steeped in many myths and legends.
I set myself in Bristol for five day. On one day I decided to take a day trip to Glastonbury. After an hour and a half long bus ride, that took me through some of England's picturesque countryside, I arrived in the heart of wee Glastonbury. And right across from my first stop of the day, Glastonbury Abbey. Glastonbury Abbey was once the richest monastery in the country. Founded in the 7th century, the Abbey and its buildings have been built and rebuilt over the centuries. My main cause for visiting Glastonbury Abbey was that it is the alleged site where King Arthur was buried. But I was also excited to explore its history and ruins.
I wandered into the main building to pay my entrance fee and headed out onto the grounds. There standing tall in the middle of a large, well-manicured field was the ruins of the Abbey. Even though its roof and more are long gone, what remains still holds a mighty presence. I paused in the Lady Chapel, trying to conjure up what it must have been like in its glory days. For the most part I had the grounds to myself, creating even more of a surreal experience.
Before I even caught sight of Arthur's alleged grave, there was a strong air of bewitching intrigue over the site. Then I walked over to this lone sign sticking out of the ground. It read; Site of King Arthur's Tomb. In the year 1191 the bodies of King Arthur and his Queen were said to have been found on the south side of the Lady Chapel. There before me might have lain the man, the legend, King Arthur himself. I say might as historians generally dismiss any truth in the tale. Leaning more toward a hoax on the part of 12th century monks to bring in more pilgrims and in turn more money. Whatever the truth is, this dreamer chooses to believe. I bowed my head before the grave, gave a small curtsy and thanks for all the wondrous tales from my youth of him and his Knights of the Round Table.
"I must ride with my knights to defend what was, and the dream of what could be."
~ King Arthur (from Excalibur by Rospo Pallenberg & John Boorman)
Before exploring the wilds of the Abbeys' 36 beautiful acres I strolled through the Abbot's Kitchen. Home to four huge fire places and still set up like it once was, the Abbot's Kitchen is one of the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe. And its the most intact building on the grounds today.
I then set of to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Abbey's awesome parkland. Happy to have it all to myself, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the small scattering of visitors who stuck to the Abbey and never ventured further. The expansive grounds are home to winding trails, ponds rich with waterfowl, and even a patch of forest with a trail leading through it. This patch of forest is home to the Abbey's infamous badgers, who they protect and take care to conserve their wild space.
After roaming the Abbey's gorgeous green spaces I realized I'd already been there for over two hours and opted to take a quick browse of the Abbey's museum before I left. The museum, though small, is full of artifacts from the Abbey, varying exhibits on those who were once prominent figures here and even a model of what the Abbey would have looked like in 1539. Massive and awe-inspiring! The church here was the longest known monastic church in the country, at 580 feet and had a central tower that stood over 200 feet.
Noon had struck and with a grumble in my belly I headed down Glastonbury's charming main street. Hanging flowers lined the narrow street. The strong, intoxicating smell of incense wafted out of many of the new-age shops. Books, crystals and tie dye clothing graced shop windows. But I was on the hunt for food. I found a quaint little bakery, Burns the Bread, and was overwhelmed with the mouth-watering selection. I grabbed a couple of pastries, one for now and one for later.
My next stop was Tor. A short 15 to 20 minute walk from the city centre, Tor, at over 500 feet, is the highest point in the Isle of Avalon. Atop this perfect mound sits a lone stone tower, St. Michael's Tower. It was once home to a wooden church that was destroyed by an earthquake. Then the stone church of St. Michael was built in the 13th century. Tor is another of Glastonbury's sites shrouded in mystery and Arthurian legends. Said to be one of the possible sites of Avalon, as well as where the Holy Grail was buried deep below Tor feeding Glastonbury's Chalice Well. It's also said to be the home of the King of the Fairies.
I approached the hill and realized it was still being used as pasture lands for local farmers. Today's guests were large, fluffy sheep. I scaled the narrow steep path up the mound, dodging sheep and their dung, towards the eerie ruins of the tower. From atop I was rewarded with unobstructed 360 degree views of southwestern England and even out to Wales. I couldn't help but pause and smile. England never ceases to amaze me. I sat, on a dung free patch of grass, and enjoyed my last pastry as I took in the glorious view.
When I finally saunted back into town it was mid afternoon. I decided to grab a coffee before catching the next bus to Bristol. On my way I stumbled upon an awesome piece of street art. It fit right in with the fairy tale vibe of Glastonbury and reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Strangely, right after I found a café called The Looking Glass Café. Fate or the Fairy King working his magic? This small, family owned café was so adorable I couldn't help but be drawn in. With coffee and a spot of ice cream in hand I said cheers to Glastonbury and the rich legends that lurked here.
Have you explore Glastonbury and its legend of King Arthur?
Pin this image for later!

Well. All that crap about html5 and iframes just ain't panning for this website. Over the course of this last week, I have discovered that the video quality of embedded iframes is less than acceptable by my standards. The day after I posted the audiblizing sort algorithms video, I discovered that there was an error and the video never ran after that. I've changed the embedding for that post back to Flash and will stick with Flash embedding until something better than iframes comes along. Thanks for putting up with all the bullshit. Sorry about that, all you iPhone guys.
Readership remains up and down as the summer weeks drain into a new season. Mondays are always busy but by Thursday, it drops off a bit and then just picks right up the following week. I'd say we're holding at an average of about 300-350 visits per day. That number is based on the SiteMeter javascript tracking code embedded in the site. The graph below shows visits in yellow and page views in red. The dip is that one day where everything went away for a while.
Then we have Google Analytics which gives more information than can be comprehended. This is the only thing that matters to me:
The rest of their graphs and other trend stuff is also a little hard for me to fathom.
Finally we have HostGator's AWStats which is almost like Analytics but slightly easier to comprehend but hard to believe based on the other two graphs:
One can see that there is no common data or thread between the three of them. Each reports different numbers as they see them. I just check 'em and look for trends. All the other stuff such as SEO and Alexa ratings, Technorati ratings and other ratings are just crap to me and completely ignored. I just go about my daily postings and hope that you like what I put up.
The summer days draw to a close and for the first time in my life I'm a little bummed out and wishing for an eternal summer. I blame these emotions on that Suzuki Intruder motorcycle that I bought last year. After almost a whole year's wait, I'm finally back in the saddle and once again learning the multitasking that's involved in riding a motorcycle. I've been out by myself around town a number of times but for now, with only a learner's permit in my pocket, I must rely on one of my sons to accompany me on a ride of any length. I'm slowly building up my confidence to the point where I can climb in the saddle the same way that I climb behind the wheel of my truck… empty headed with the talent to drive the vehicle being second nature. I want more summer.
With the overtime hours at work helping to pad my wallet a little, there still may be time to buy the one last bit of equipment I need for my first batch of all-grain homebrew. The CO2 cylinder will more than likely be purchased from Amazon. The hoses and attachments will come as well. My beer fridge can house two 5-gal. Corny kegs if the shelves are removed. The heat from the already obtained propane burner would help keep the Manly Garage toasty during the process. Sure, I'll make some mistakes with the first batch or two but hell, it's BEER. It will be put to good use regardless of how it tastes.
I must ride out the remaining tolerable days on the back of a motorcycle. Most of last year's riding season was taken away from me due to carburetor issues. But now, with the bike damn near normal again, I gotta get out and ride. Before I have to add the StaBil for the winter.
Hey. Thanks a lot for stopping by whenever you can.

MFA Students Keep Historic Literary Journal Strong
Fat spoonfuls of butterflies taped to our tongues.
The stirred color of hush in a jar . . .
These are the beautiful, mysterious lines from two different poems by a young writer who was little known — until a reader at TriQuarterly, Northwestern University's student-run literary journal, saw something special in the words. The piece was read several times by managing editors and volunteer readers, discussed and debated, and even sent to faculty for a final look. In the end, the poems by Raven Jackson were pulled from hundreds of submissions and published in the historic, groundbreaking journal's 148th issue.
"It needs to be strong," says Noelle Havens, managing editor at TriQuarterly and a graduate student in the Northwestern School of Professional Studies (SPS) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, which is home to the journal. "And if it's a story, everything needs to work really well — characters, plot, the ending and the quality of the writing. At the sentence level, the word choice, syntax and other elements need to be just right."
Learning what makes for exceptional, publication-worthy creative and nonfiction writing is one of the benefits MFA students gain from working on TriQuarterly. Not only do students help bring new writers to a broader reading public — as well as publishing work by established writers — they learn about literary publishing first-hand and what it will take for their own work to make the cut at other journals.
"Working on TriQuarterly provides an unusual opportunity for students to learn about publishing from an editorial perspective," says Susan Harris, faculty advisor to TriQuarterly. "They can also bring that knowledge and experience to bear on their own writing and submissions."
Putting an Issue Together
TriQuarterly is managed remotely without a designated physical office; two paid, part-time student editors (for the most recent issue, managing editor Noelle Havens and assistant managing editor Dane Hamann) lead the selection process and communicate with staff through email. Lots of email.
"Sometimes I wish for a real, in-person conversation, especially when my colleagues reject a submission and I want to know more," Havens says. "But there's a benefit to working alone, away from each other. I feel the privacy helps us be more independent in our judgment."
TriQuarterly has developed an inclusive review process for pulling together each issue that maintains the journal's reputation for quality and finding new talent. Managing and assistant managing editors, as well as the lead editors in each genre, solicit submissions from established and emerging writers. These selections then go to a pool of volunteer readers for a second read. In the meantime, the editors and readers are also reviewing unsolicited submissions — the "slush"— that flood in. The final contents are drawn from these sources. Many of these writers are unknown, but others have several books and awards to their name. The TriQuarterly staff then meets in person at least once, prior to each issue's publication. The discussion is lively, vigorous, thoughtful, and passionate—a room full of readers and writers helping to shape the literary conversation.
Managing editors, like Havens, have the final say in what makes it into the journal, but she will often consult with Harris to champion particular pieces, and the process often continues after the in-person meeting. And while determining the final content is a collective effort, responsibility for everything else — soliciting established writers, contracts, budgets, production managing deadlines, workflow and staff — falls on the managing editors.
Harris also teaches an elective course in journal publishing that considers TriQuarterly in a larger context. "In the course we discuss TriQuarterly, but it's not the sole focus — the course covers working with literary journals more broadly," says Harris. "I advise students on compiling each issue. We talk about how to find and solicit writers, how to read as an editor, and how to develop an editorial identity for a magazine."
"I used to think, 'My writing isn't what it should be,'" says Havens. "But I didn't really know what that meant. TriQuarterly has shown me, as a writer, what it takes to get published, and giving exposure to up-and-coming writers is really exciting. As an editor, I've learned how to run a journal, to see how each piece builds into a balanced issue. I feel privileged to be part of it."
An Evolution for a New Era
Making TriQuarterly a true student-run publication is part of its more recent history. Named for the three quarters of Northwestern's academic year, the journal was founded in 1958 as a faculty and student print magazine, and in 1964 was transformed into a national magazine by Charles Newman, who attracted a sophisticated readership and published some of the most important fiction and nonfiction of the era. Some of the now famous names that appeared in TriQuarterly include John Barth, Susan Sontag, John Updike, Italo Calvino, Tobias Wolff, Cormac McCarthy, and Joyce Carol Oates, as well as the first collections of essays on Vladimir Nabokov and Sylvia Plath. TriQuarterly is also credited with having influenced the look, feel and direction of today's literary magazines.
The journal was edited by a full-time professional and had minimal student involvement, even as student-run journals were becoming a standard part of most well regarded graduate writing programs. In 2009, the decision was made to transition the journal to a purely online publication with submissions reviewed and selected entirely by graduate students in both paid and volunteer editorial positions. The decision followed the closure of several prestigious, influential print literary journals associated with universities and was met with mixed feelings in the literary world, due in part to a rising fear in the general fate of print in the community.
"The anxiety and anger was a little unbelievable and exaggerated, in my opinion," recalls Reginald Gibbons, Northwestern Professor of English who served as an editor of TriQuarterly from 1981 – 1997. "However, at that point subscriptions numbered in the hundreds. The Internet offered an opportunity to grow TriQuarterly's readership. The day it went online, it had ten times more readers than it did before, and the number of unique visitors has climbed to more than twenty times higher than that."
Broader Content — and Unexpected Success
In its online format, the journal has been able to not only increase its readership but expand the type of material it publishes. In addition to original stories, essays and poetry, the journal now includes video and a "craft essay" section devoted to writers talking about writing. The spring/winter issue features "Sandpiper," a stunning video adaptation of the Elizabeth Bishop poem, an original video by essay by Kelly Sears, artwork, poems, essays and stories — all identified and solicited by students.
"Since we made the decision to transform TriQuarterly, the publishing landscape has changed in ways that no one expected," says Gibbons. "Many excellent journals have been born on the web, and the vast majority of poetry reading now happens online. TriQuarterly has done really well, even against well-financed competition that we never thought we'd have in the online environment."
Even as it continues to evolve, the journal is taking steps to move its entire print history — 137 issues — online, a major step in Northwestern's adoption of digital humanities. These works will be available to anyone anywhere, at no charge.
"TriQuarterly's history as a print journal is a unique and (we believe) peerless resource for readers and for those who study late-20th-century and 21st-century writing," Gibbons announced in June. "The special issues — so various, often compendious, and unusual, from the 1960s to the early 1990s — are now fascinating windows on writers, topics and places that were part of the continuous remaking of literary culture both in the U.S. and abroad."

Shutdown: 25 great quotes
As the government shut down in October 2013, the political echo chamber certainly did not. Here are some of the best quotes about the shutdown.
"So when you were on the jihad against Americans' access to health care, shutting down the parks wasn't a problem. Shutting down NIH wasn't a problem."
— Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), on the House floor as quoted by Huffington Post, Oct. 2(Photo: AP Photo)

Liposuction is a versatile cosmetic surgery procedure which removes excess fat from specified areas of the body. Plastic Surgery Specialists of Boca Raton is pleased to offer this popular treatment to patients who wish to firm and tone troublesome areas of the body. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, can be performed on its own or as part of a comprehensive body contouring treatment, which can include other procedures such as tummy tuck, arm lift and more.
More about Liposuction in Boca Raton
Liposuction can help patients achieve their ideal physique by removing excess fat from a number of body areas, including the stomach, thighs, arms, neck, back, knees and buttocks. While the procedure can produce noticeable results, it is not meant to substitute for healthy eating and exercise habits, or weight loss surgery. Instead, this procedure is meant to provide the finishing touches for patients who are already at or near their ideal weight. Dr. Rafael Cabrera is an experienced Boca Raton liposuction surgeon who can help patients decide if the treatment is right for them. In addition to offering traditional liposuction, he also offers non-invasive liposuction options such as laser liposuction. Dr. Cabrera works with each patient individually to determine their aesthetic needs and goals, and provide the treatment they need to achieve them. Because every patient is different, the cost of liposuction can vary. We urge interested patients to contact Dr. Cabrera for a personalized consultation.
Liposuction Candidates
Liposuction can help patients achieve their ideal figure, fit into their clothes better and enhance their self-esteem. Patients who are well-suited for this procedure include individuals who:
- Are over the age of 18
- Are within 25 pounds of their ideal weight
- Are generally in good health
- Are not nursing, pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Have good skin elasticity
- Have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of surgery
Liposuction in Boca Raton
Liposuction surgery can vary greatly depending on the number and type of areas being treated, as well as the specific type of liposuction being performed. During traditional liposuction, Dr. Cabrera injects a saline solution into the treatment area, making the fat easier to remove from the body. Then, the surgeon makes a number of small incisions and inserts a suctioning tube, known as a cannula, below the skin's surface to break down fat and suction it out of the body. Once this is complete, the incisions are closed and the recovery process can begin. Patients who have undergone large-volume liposuction will stay overnight at the surgical facility, while some other patients may undergo liposuction on an out-patient basis. Plastic Surgery Specialists is pleased to offer thorough post-operative care, and is staffed with highly trained overnight nurses who can accompany patients home to ensure a safe and comfortable recovery. Patients can expect mild discomfort in the days following the procedure, and are given specific instructions from the professionals at Plastic Surgery Specialists of Boca Raton to ensure a quick and safe recovery. Patients can typically return to work, exercise and normal activities about one week after treatment.
Schedule a Liposuction Consultation
Liposuction is a popular procedure that can drastically transform a patient's silhouette, helping patients to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. Plastic Surgery Specialists of Boca Raton is dedicated to using only the latest and safest liposuction technology to ensure safe, effective results for all patients. To learn more about liposuction in Boca Raton, contact their practice today to schedule a comprehensive consultation.

Love is always found in the little things like the first early morning kiss, a random hug, watching a movie snuggled up together etc.
Don't expect to find love in huge restaurant bills and diamond rings because that gives a more materialistic touch to love.
1. Love is in those random hugs that may seem meaningless, but are extremely important.
2. Perhaps the most care and affection can be shown by looking for the little things.
[sc name="Ad 300x 250 "]
3. Lying down together and falling asleep on the couch is adorable.
4. Everyday chores like cooking can become even more special by being together.

I started this page layout on Tuesday night as my teaching sample for my 'Christmas Crackle' art journal session on 7th November. Building up layers and techniques, I was very happy with the resulting background. I then spent just as many hours searching for the perfect 'winter' quote. Eventually I settled on this excerpt from 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' attributed to Mary Frye.
Tag Archives: quote
Art Journal Page: Wonder
Next month's Art Journal Session is going to look at printing on a budget. With nothing more than a biro, some stick glue and a polystyrene plate to make printing plates we'll then use acrylic paints to decorate our page. I've embellished this spread with Posca paint pens. I used Dylusions paints for the printing.
Art Journal Page: Impossible
For February's Art Journal Session, we'll be playing with emboss resist. It's one of those techniques that is counter-intuitive, but is just planning layers to build up the effect using the embossing powder as the mask. I have to admit the way the text developed and fitted on the page was complete chance – but I like the way it isn't obvious what the text is at first glance, reinforcing the sense of the quote.
Art Journal Page: Hope
I wasn't at all happy with my finished page yesterday… so I tried again today using what I had learnt from my experimentation. Keeping with the '3+1' theme, I switched the same complementary colours. I am so much happier with the outcome – a cleaner, fresher, more impactful page.
Art Journaling: Water-solubles
For November's art journaling class at The Studio, we'll be playing with water-solubles. This page spread is a mix of Caran D'Ache Neocolor II water-soluble wax crayons, Derwent Inktense pencils and blocks and black pigment pen. It's an experimental page, and I quite like the blending of the colours, the framing of the colour blocks and text, but if I were to do it again, I'd want to space things a bit better and perhaps play with the depth by intertwining the frames better and adding some drop shadows… I was also considering adding embossing paste squares – but I think that would just be overdoing it a little.
Art Journal Page: God's handwriting
I've just taken delivery of a set of wooden fabric printing blocks, a commercial take on the carved versions typically seen in India/Indonesia. As well as printing onto fabric, of course they're suited to printing onto paper as well, and what better way of using them than in an art journal? This page is in my Moleskine journal that has been somewhat unloved since starting art journaling in 2011. I already had a pink/purple background in place, and I augmented this with some dabs of Dylusions paint. The image transfer of some heuchera leaves was also already on the page, and I've blended the edges with some more paint as well as adding a smear of orange to colour. The block prints can be seen in purple and white at the borders. I was quite pleased with the right side especially, as the paint acted more as a glue, pulling off previous paint layers creating a serendipitous distress effect. The text is free-drawn in Signo white pigment pen and outlined with a fine black pigment pen, except for the final two words which I traced so that it was a little more 'special'. For hand-drawn text, I found the book Hand Lettering: Simple, Creative Styles for Cards, Scrapbooks & More by Marci Donley and DeAnn Singh really useful as something to bounce off. We'll be using the blocks in the Art Journaling Session on 3rd August, for which one place is still available to book here.

Multnomah is a Christian based bible college that features a variety of majoring opportunities, campus activities, and a diverse student base. Class sizes are smaller, paving the way for one on one time with professors. Stimulating personal relationships is easy and campus life is involved and exciting on a daily basis. They give opportunities for scholarships for simply visiting campus, and attending certain events. All in all, MU is a slice of Portland that is all it's own. It's a place in which one can develop their relationship with Christ, and enjoy fellowship regularly with quality people.
Multnomah is a very enriching place to learn. The professors are experts in their field, especially those for the Bible and Theology degree and the English degree. The campus is gorgeous but the surrounding neighborhood is a bit rough. There is a strong Christian community and I made some very good friends there.
The school is becoming more diverse and has recently developed more programs and athletic opportunities.
