Redwoods, Coronado, 1892
Watercolor on paper, 21.5 x 8.25 inches
As a somewhat frail child, Maynard Dixon was often left to his own devices and by the age of 6 had begun to draw, letting his imagination take him through the western landscape. In 1891, Dixon's father had suffered a nervous breakdown, motivating the family to move to Coronado near San Diego to provide a more peaceful environment. That same year, Dixon had impressed the famous illustrator Frederic Remington with a portfolio of his work, receiving an encouraging response, and the advice, "… copy only from nature." Quitting school, Maynard immersed himself in further improving his drawing and painting skills, exploring the region.
Much of his earliest work was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco fire, making this an extremely rare painting, in untouched condition* from the private collection of the artist's granddaughter. "Redwoods" is a unique example from this period, suggesting Dixon's later commentary on his work, "It aims … to interpret the vastness, the loneliness, and the sense of freedom this country inspires. I want to make my paintings show the people as a part of that."
This painting is accompanied by a letter from the artist's granddaughter, that states, "I am forever grateful for his skilled recording of the West's beautiful landscapes …There is no doubt he understood what he was doing on his travels on horseback to remote villages and untouched countryside where he made quick sketches and paintings of what he saw."

Follow these safety tips to enjoy your seafood safely year-round!
Seafood Safety
- Know your seafood seller
- Purchase Seafood Carefully
- Keep Seafood's Cold
- Keep "Live" shellfish "Alive"
- Refrigerate Live Shellfish Properly
- Don't Cross-Contaminate
- Cook Seafood Thoroughly
- Never refreeze previously frozen seafood
- Freeze Fish Before Making Sashimi, Sushi, Ceviche, Gravlaz, or Cold-Smoked Fish
- Cook fresh fish within two days.
- Rinse seafood in cold water to remove surface bacteria.
- The safest way to defrost seafood is in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
- Always marinate seafood in the refrigerator, not on the countertop.
- If a slightly opened clam, oyster, or mussel doesn't shut when tapped upon, discard it.
- Fresh shellfish should be alive when purchased.
Mercury Madness
The Food and Drug Administration warns that certain fish are high in mercury. These include:
- King mackerel
- Swordfish
- Tilefish
Tuna is one of the most popular foods on grocery store shelves that contains mercury. Back in 2000, the FDA drafted advisories for focus groups to warn women not to eat a lot of canned tuna during pregnancy. This is because the tuna contains levels of mercury that can harm developing fetuses and nursing babies. In March 2004, the FDA and the EPA issued the first ever joint advisory on this topic which was titled, "What You Need to Know About Mercury in Fish and Shellfish".
Until the 1950's, the potential problems from excessive mercury intake were not well-known. At that time, an epidemic hit fishermen and their families in villages on Japan's Minamata Bay. People whose ate primarily seafood showed signs of brain damage; some were even fatally stricken with disease and seizures. The investigation linked the health problems to methylmercury poisoning from a local chemical plant that was discharging organic mercury into the bay. (Source: PBS)
Recommendations 'Round the World
- Health Canada has advised consumers to limit consumption of swordfish, shark or fresh and frozen tuna to one meal per week. Young children and women of child-bearing age, are recommendeded a limit of one meal per month.
- Britain's Food Standards Agency is advises pregnant and breastfeeding women and women who intend to become pregnant to limit consumption of tuna to no more than two medium size cans or one fresh tuna steak per week.
- In the United States, women are hearing different advice from different sources, especially where tuna is concerned.
Notable Note: If you are going to the Caribbean, Florida or Hawaii and plan on eating tropical fish, it would be best to call the fish safety hotline (look up in the respective area phone book or online) to help you avoid ciguatera poisoning. They can tell you the current fish with problems.

These days air conditioning is more of a necessity than a modern comfort, especially in hot climates. Office goers today work in air conditioned offices and would find it difficult to get through those humid, sticky days without it. However if you're someone who finds it uncomfortable to stay in an air-conditioned space for long periods of time, you're definitely not alone.
Here are some ways in which an air conditioner can affect your health:
It may not always be possible to switch off the air conditioning and it's impractical to look for an office that doesn't have air conditioning. But there are some ways by which you can make things a bearable for yourself and also protect your health in the long run.

Transfer News: Manchester United boss David Moyes confident he will sign players
Manchester United boss David Moyes insists that he will be bringing in players before the end of the transfer window.
Last Updated: 07/08/13 3:18pm
Thus far, only young Uruguayan full-back Guillermo Valera has arrived at Old Trafford this summer and it remains to be seen whether he will be involved in the first team.
United have failed with bids for Thiago Alcantara, Cesc Fabregas and Leighton Baines this summer, but Moyes refuses to be dejected about so far hitting a brick wall in terms of transfers.
"I do think we'll be bringing players in before the window shuts. They will come," he said after seeing Manchester United draw 1-1 with AIK Stockholm.
"We're moving along but if you said, 'Is anything close?', I couldn't give you an answer.
"I'm relaxed, we've got a squad here and it's the same group of players that won the Premier League last year. You can never tell until the season starts but we are looking forward to it."
Quizzed again about Fabregas, he said: "I can't really say anything about that. We will sign some players before the end of the window.
"And these are the champions of England. They are a good squad and I look forward to going in to the new season with them."
Sky sources understand Moyes has not given up on Fabregas, but as yet there has been no third offer from Old Trafford as Barcelona continue to insist the midfielder will not be sold.
Reports have suggested that Marouane Fellaini could be an alternative, but Everton boss Roberto Martinez says there have been no offers for the Belgian midfielder.
"There are no bids," the Liverpool Echo quoted Moyes' successor as Everton manager as saying. "When you read that someone is interested in someone, it doesn't mean there is a bid on the table.
"Marouane has been working really hard. Leighton Baines has been working really hard for the team and that's all that matters.
"Headlines in the media happen at this time of the season unfortunately but it won't distract me from the work we have to do. I'm not bothered at all.
"It is speculation in the media and you'll never stop that. I've said from day one as a manager you only concentrate on working hard. I don't mind having my players grabbing headlines. That's a good story because it means they've been doing well and performing well.
"I'm only concentrating on having as strong a squad as possible for the start of the season. That's all my concern is."

Deborah Walker is a landscape painter with an emphasis on painting water. She holds a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art from De Montfort University and is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI) and an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (ARSMA). Deborah exhibited in the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2016 and has been a regular exhibitor over the past five years, appearing in the 2011, 2013 and 2015 exhibitions. Working mainly in watercolour, Deborah depicts landscapes in both broad expanse and close-up detail and aims to develop 'a language of drawing and painting that can express feelings and emotional responses'.
Tell us a little about Tidal Rhythms, the painting selected for the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2016 Exhibition.
Tidal Rhythms is a study of the kelp beds in Stackhouse Bay, Cornwall. From the viewer's standing position, you are separated from the sea and the rest of the world by a giant bank of rock with gullies running across it that have been eroded by the tide over thousands of years. You become aware of being both exposed to the elements and yet protected at the same time. There is a quiet solitude about the place. The painting is about the cyclical nature of the tide, the ebb and flow, the rise and fall; and the filling and emptying of the gullies. There is a microcosm of plant and animal species that rely on the tidal rhythm cleansing and nourishing their world.
A recurring theme in your work is the depiction of water. A notoriously tricky subject! How do you tackle it?
Water 'is' the recurring theme through all of my work and has been for about 30 years! It may be a notoriously tricky subject but I approach it like any other, to try to paint what I see without revision. After years of study I have, I hope, developed the technical language using watercolour to describe its transparency, movement, reflectivity, light, depth and colour. I have, perhaps, lost the fear of its complexity!
Though you work mainly in watercolour, occasionally you also work in oils. How would you respond to Doug Mays' comment that 'Where oils lumber…watercolours prance'?
Oh so true! Whilst there are subjects that are perhaps easier in oils, watercolour makes so many more things possible. For me, working in oils involves moving the paint around until you have it where you want it. Working in watercolour is far more exciting! You have so many more considerations to work with. Once liberated in water, colours have a life of their own. There is an alchemy working between pigments that you have to understand before you can predict. You can apply it in so many ways; lift it, layer it or wash it away again. There is always something new to discover or a new technique to develop, that continuously allows my work to progress. I suppose, simply put, it sustains me as an artist.
Of your painterly style you say that you 'push the character of the paint to extremes'. Tell us a little more about this.
For me, watercolour is a medium with infinite possibilities. It throws up questions of 'what if' continuously. The only way to find out 'what if' is to try it, so I spend many hours playing with colour combinations, methods of application and removal, pushing my own boundaries of what I can make it do. The trick is remembering what you did!
'To paint a successful watercolour it seems one must know what the finished result will look like before the first stroke of blossoming colour is applied to the paper.' (Dianne Middleton) Do you agree?
Watercolour, to me, is a journey and a lot of people would agree that in order to begin a journey you need a destination at least in mind. I would certainly say this is true of my larger paintings that are subject specific, but the route taken can vary considerably. Whilst I may have a finished result in mind, the devil is in the detail; individual textures or patterns sometimes arrive spontaneously. Tonal values and colour hues may change in the painting process that subtly alters the final destination from the original inspiration, in order to convey a whole sense of place and not merely a description of it.
Tell us about what the process of creating a painting – from inspiration to finished piece – involves for you.
By far the biggest part of the process is 'time' and the 'knowing' of a subject. It's the being there, seeing, feeling and referencing it with a sketchbook, notebook and camera, before returning to the studio to develop a language in paint to convey the experience. In the larger paintings I like to research a place for its geological and social history. I then write into the painting using watercolour, in a semi hidden fashion, only visible on close inspection. I'm aware that up close the large paintings can exceed the visual field, so I do this to give the viewer a glimpse of the 'DNA' of the place.
Define watercolour, or describe what it means to you, in one word.
This is the most difficult question of all, but I suppose watercolour is just my 'way'.

Book review time again. An oldie which I discovered only recently.
I'd like to say I enjoyed reading Flow, but the style and prose are not exactly conducive to a, whatchamacallit, a flow experience (pun quota for blog post exceeded, please contact our staff immediately). The text is mercifully bereft of footnotes and references, but this still doesn't lead to a very pleasant reading experience.
Having said this, this is an extremely important book, a must-read for anyone looking for personal growth, reinventing themselves and rediscovering their calling. Buddhists have every right to say "I told you so", but it's still good to have scientific backing and research for such common-sense intuitions.
Quick summary, more for self-reference, as I had to return the book to the library: pleasure vs enjoyment, matching of skills vs challenges, feeling of being in control, constant feedback, integration and differentiation. Oh, another important aspect: the flow experience is value-neutral (it's possible to be in the flow and still do things that are immoral or make others think you're crazy).
If at all there is any criticism of the book, it is an effort to, in my opinion, shoehorn enjoyable experiences into the flow paradigm even when it seems somewhat contrived. I'd provide examples, but no book, so no go.

Trying to get this page to open on my laptop has been quite an exercise, but a blog post is needed.
I've responded to everyone's comment on the last post so I won't go over that material twice. They are still working on the internet out here. Anyone with enough motivation could stand to make some money if they could figure out how to make this work, look-up USComz. Anyway, since the last posting I've been staying busy and safe as usual, but now I get to add injured to the list. It didn't happen on a mission or anything, it's just age catching up to me. I've always had bad knees and it seems that they are getting worse. I was working on a trailer this past Saturday and just went to stand up to lend a hand. I was standing and turning at the same time and when I put weight on my right knee it popped and it seems I have a partially torn meniscus now. For those not familiar it is a tendon in the knee and apparently is fairly painful when pulled. There is nothing that can be done for it out here because it requires surgery to fix. Normally this is the kind of injury that would get a person sent home but our company is short handed and can't afford to loose anyone else at this point, even an injured person can do some work.
Yesterday I went in for a follow-up and they tried to drain the fluid off of the knee cap. I say tried because in order for it to be successful the patient needs to remain motionless. I did not. I've never had a needle that large in my knee before and it was a very unpleasant sensation. I'm on an anti-inflammatory and a fairly large pain killer to help deal with it but I won't be able to get it fixed until we return to the states. They also gave me a cortisone shot which didn't hurt nearly as bad as when they tried to drain it, and that seems to be helping a great deal. I can walk on the leg, but not well. I was on crutches for a few days but they say it will heal better if I try to walk on it as much as I can. For now I'm off of the road while it heels. I'm working in the base tire shop which is run by our company.
I'm not the only one with knee injuries right now so I've been getting some good advice on how to handle it and I'm confident that I'll be able to make a full recovery once I am home in El Paso, in the meantime I have to live with it. Luckily we are nearing the end of our tour, the countdown has begun. With any luck I'll pickup my E4, specialist rank, in October and that will feel good. I was close to getting it for September but I didn't have much time to study.
I'm working days for now, so as with the last entry that means I need to wrap this up so I can get some sleep. I'm trying to check my e-mail at email@example.com as much as I can, but that site is also hard to load. I'll be home soon, and I look forward to sharing the experiences I've collected along this tour. I hope that you don't find I have changed too much, but I know that I have. Know that at some point I may snap for no good reason at all and that whoever or whatever it was I snapped at, it probably wasn't provoked. It happened once on R&R and I've seen a good deal more since then. I'm learning some Arabic as well and I will share what I know when we all get to meet again in person.
Until then, take care and know that despite how it may sound I am doing very well.

I'm very sorry to hear about your knee, Jesse. I typed up a lot of meniscus repairs in my years of working with the docs; and yes, they were said to be very painful. With surgery people did very well ~ and with physical therapy, some folk even circumvented surgery entirely! We'll be praying here for a speedy recovery for you. We are proud of all you have done for your family and in service to your country. Much love to you, son!

Sad to hear about your Knee Bro. Wish they would send you home to get that fixed, though it sounds like there will not be problems putting that off for now.
When I hear you talking of the reason they can not send you home for RRandR (Extra R for Repair), I couldn't help to think of the Family Guy when Stewie and Brian tried to get sent home and their results. I am sure that you have seen the show.
Best of luck to you over there, hope you heal soon.

Yikes a torn meniscus- sorry to hear about that. Glad that you are getting care even while you are stationed over there, hopefully you'll recover quickly there and once you get home. Stay safe and know we are still praying for you everyday! Love ya brother!

American, 1830–1923
"Yewell was born in Harve de Grace, Maryland, in 1830. At the age of eleven he and his widowed mother moved to Iowa City, where as a youth he earned a local reputation as a clever caricaturist. Inspired by prints of Thomas Cole (1801–1848) series of paintings The Voyage of Life (Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, Utica, N.Y.), Yewell turned to traditional subjects and methods. On the advice of Judge Charles Mason, an early patron who had been attracted by his caricatures in 1848, Yewell went to New York in 1851. There he studied with Thomas Hicks (1823–1890) and at the National Academy of Design. Yewell spent five years with Hicks who gave him a firm foundation in drawing and prepared him for study in Paris in 1856 at the famous atelier of Thomas Couture (1815–1879), where Hicks himself had been a student. Yewell spent much of his time in Paris in the galleries of the Louvre and the Luxembourg Palace, copying paintings by the old masters. The great success of Yewell's copy of a painting by the contemporary artist Rosa Bonheur earned him the respect of his fellow artists. He returned to New York in 1861, and at the end of that year was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design. He became an academician in 1880. In the 1870s Yewell was also exhibiting now and then at the Paris Salon.
"Yewell went back to Europe in 1867 with his wife, the former Mary Elizabeth (Mollie) Coast, and her young brother Oscar Regan Coast (1851–1931), who was studying with him. They stayed in Venice for several months and then settled in Rome, where they soon formed close friendships with a number of other young American artists, including Elihu Vedder (1836–1923) and Charles C. Coleman (1840–1928), who had also recently arrived in New York. Yewell spent his summers and autumns near Vedder in the countryside outside Perugia. Also among Yewell's friends was the famed writer, traveler, and lecturer Bayard Taylor, whom he had met in Venice in 1867. When Taylor visited Rome in 1868, eh became Yewell's eager student, and in subsequent years the two corresponded. Yewell went to Cairo in 1875 enticed by Taylor's letters praising the "wonderful interiors to paint" (Hansen-Taylor and Scudder, eds., p. 647).
"In 1878 Yewell returned to New York, where he worked in the popular Tenth Street Studio Building and spent his summers at Lake George. His departure from Italy may have been precipitated by his wife's behavior, which had shocked the American community in Rome. The couple were divorced the following year, and Mollie Coast Yewell married the British artist Edwin Ellis, with whom she had been romantically involved with for years.
"Yewell died at Lake George in 1923 at the age of ninety-three. Throughout his career he had maintained his connections with Iowa City, sent paintings there for exhibition, and returned in his later years to paint portraits of local celebrities. Nine of these portraits belong to the Iowa Historical Society in Des Moines. The University of Iowa holds the largest and most representative collection of paintings from all periods of Yewell's long career."

Oracle vs. VMware feud simmering
2009 was the year of Microsoft vs. VMware. Is 2010 shaping up to be the year of Oracle vs. VMware?
During yesterday's five-hour Oracle-Sun press conference, Oracle's chief corporate architect Edward Screven took aim at VMware: "VMware is integrated with nothing. It's a point solution."
Of course, that's not entirely true. VMware integrates with lots of stuff, both hardware and software, but it's usually other vendors making that other stuff. (The Cisco Unified Computing System is a prime example.) Judging by VMware's longstanding dominance in the market, this is a strategy that has worked out pretty well for them.
Now that it has Sun's virtualization and hardware assets, Oracle is taking a different approach: stressing the value of integrated management (with Oracle Enterprise Manager) and virtualization-specific hardware/software bundles, all from one vendor.
Alone, Oracle and Sun never had much success in virtualization. (When Screven touted Oracle VM as "the best virtualization solution for databases" yesterday, my colleague Bridget Botelho responded on Twitter: "Then why doesn't anyone use it?")
And they didn't announce anything revolutionary yesterday that would immediately cause people to jump on the Oracle-Sun virtualization bandwagon. (Sounds like underwhelming press conferences was the theme of the day, eh, Steve Jobs?)
Clearly, Oracle needs to do more to become a major player. The whole trend of integrated hardware and software for virtualization is something the vendors are pushing; it's not something a whole lot of customers want now.
Larry Ellison and his Oracle execs know they can't take on VMware just by talking a good game. So they must have bigger plans in the works. Will they build Oracle VM up using the Virtual Iron technology they acquired last year? Or will they make an even bigger splash by acquiring Citrix?
VMware once enjoyed free reign of the market. Then along came Microsoft, the biggest software company in the world, which became a serious challenger in just a few short years. Now the third-biggest software company, Oracle, is making a similar move. Whatever happens, things are about to get very interesting.

User Profiles in Clearlogin have a few purposes. First and foremost, they are there to establish administrators within Clearlogin.
Secondly, they can be used to track licenses/seats being used within Clearlogin. For example, every time a new user logs into Clearlogin, a User Profile is created for them within Clearlogin, regardless of the Identity Source used for authentication. When a new User Profile is created, the Seats Total increases, and the Seats Remaining decrease. These counts are at the top of the User Profiles page:
It's extremely important to note that User Profiles should not be confused with Clearlogin Directory profiles/accounts, and that they are two separate things. Clearlogin Directory should be treated the same as a non-Clearlogin provided Identity Source such as Active Directory and Google Apps Directory from an infrastructural viewpoint.
You can access the User Profiles page by doing the following:
- Navigate and log into the Administrator dashboard (https://admin.clearlogin.com).
- Once you have logged in select "User Profiles" from the left-hand navigation bar.
- Once you are on the User Profiles page, you will have a plethora of options, including the ability to add a new user profile (this is typically something that you would only do if an administrator does not authenticate via an Identity Source), download a CSV of all users that match the currently being used filter, delete a batch of users based on the currently being used filter, and configure individual users' profiles.
The button next to a user's profile will reset their current session, requiring them to log back in.
The button next to a user's profile will deny that user access to Clearlogin, regardless of their status within the Identity Provider that they are in and your Access Rules.
The button next to a user's profile will take you to a page to edit their profile which is explained in this article.
The button next to a user's profile will delete their profile. Please note that if the user logs back into Clearlogin, then their profile will be recreated upon login.
The button near the top of the page will take you to the Basic Settings page which will allow you to toggle the Auto Create User Profiles setting near the bottom of the page.
You would only want to disable this if you want to stop new users from accessing Clearlogin so as not to go over your seat count.
Please note that it is Clearlogin's policy to allow it's customers to bypass their seat count limit in order to make sure that new users do not have to wait for a sale to take place in order to gain access to Clearlogin. Occasional audits are performed on each customer's account and customers will be billed for any overages at a prorated rate.

All good things, however, must come to an end but he managed to convince his shocked roommate to let him suck him off.

ber relaxing family trips to the beach. Then there are others who are lucky enough to take in the sun and surf daily, where the smell and feel of the ocean air is only a few minutes away. You can bring the appreciation of the ocean's natural serenity and beauty into your home by creating a coastal haven with these beach house decorating ideas.
Coastal living is comfortable and relaxed, and it offers a no-fuss approach to design. It combines both indoor and outdoor living to accommodate entertaining large groups of people or intimate dining for two. Rooms are open, fresh and light, and they make use of natural colours.
There are many elements that go into making a home in tune with coastal living. Deciding on a coastal living theme is the first step in choosing your beach theme décor. The key is to make your indoor space flow seamlessly with the outdoors. Here are a few themes to give you some beach house décor ideas:
Beach Cottage
Cute, cosy and a little bit bohemian. A beach side cottage can be an eclectic mix of coastal, vintage and shabby chic inspired pieces such macramé, baskets, hurricane lamps, rope accessories, jute rugs and shell lamps or chandeliers. Think rattan or basket weave furniture and don't forget the hammock or Adirondack chairs for outdoors.
Contemporary Coastal
This style is defined by its natural materials and textures, as well as its clean lines. It brings a bright, sunlit look to interiors. This is a great theme to use when you want to create a classic look, sticking to basic finishes and simple lines. Pared back artwork and beach-style furniture create this theme without a cluttered look.

Eating at SGV's Hottest Gastropub: Chang'an
The menu is extensive. There's even an entire page dedicated to vegetarian dishes. The menu is best described as authentic Asian fusion. Think of it as Chinese-centric tapas. You won't find dishes that are too Americanized here like orange chicken and I really appreciate that! Chang'an is pouring over a dozen draft beers and two pages of white and red wines, as well as a list of cocktails! They also have Happy Hour everyday and all day Mondays!
Here are the SOHO Lychee and Red Berry (raspberry) cocktails. I really enjoyed the Red Berry! They also have a handful of fresh fruit juices and lemonades available too for those non-drinkers.
The Chang'an Salad with crown daisy topped with peanut & sesame dressing (left) and the Beef Tataki on the right.
The dish I was most excited to try was the Crispy Jidori Chicken.It did not disappoint. When a restaurant is willing to use free-range Jidori Chicken, you can expect some good tasting chicken. The batter was light and tasty. I would describe it as a high-end popcorn for those who have yet to try it! This is a must-order. It was served with ketchup and sweet & sour sauce although truthfully the chicken doesn't need a sauce. It's delicious in its own right. Sautéed Eggplant with shrimp.Chang'an is known for their skewers! I went with the chicken wing skewers topped with cumin. It had just the right amount of spiciness to it and the meat was soft and fell off the bone. I'm usually not a big bone person. I try to avoid ordering any dish that requires me to use my hands or to work at it when I'm out at a restaurant. These were easy to eat. Last dish of the night was the Prawn Tempura marinated and deep fried in their house special wasabi mayo and citrus juice topped with potato fries skin. If you've ever had walnut shrimp at a Chinese banquet, you'd love these. This tasted like a more modern, updated version of the traditional dish mayo, walnut, and shrimp dish.
I also live streamed my visit with my good friend Chef Jay on Nom so click here to check out of live, rare, unedited experience at Chang'an!
All in all, I was incredibly impressed. The Hilton Plaza is not a place where I would expect to have such a hip restaurant located in. And now that I can confirm that the food is amazing and they have great Happy Hour specials, you can be sure to find me there more often. Two thumbs up! Highly recommend!
Chang'an is located at 227 W Valley Blvd, San Gabriel, (626) 872-0906.

Japan's Chie Arimura shot a first round 68 to take a one-stroke lead Thursday after 18 holes at the HSBC Women's Champions tournament, with world number one Yani Tseng two further back.
The Japanese, playing in her first tournament of the year, had a near-perfect round until a costly bogey on the 17th hole marred her outing at the $1.4-million event at Singapore's Tanah Merah Country Club.
"Among the 18 holes I only missed out on this one today. It is a shame but I have tried, there is nothing much I can do about it," said the 23-year-old, an up and coming player on the Japanese ladies tour.
"I did well in other places especially my putting so I have no regret," she said.
She finished the round four-under par, one shot ahead of South Korea's Choi Na Yeon.
Tseng, who is bidding to win a fourth title in four weeks, had a topsy turvy ride at the par-72 course with six birdies but four bogeys to stay two shots behind Arimura.

saab 9-4X: are you ready to drive a fighter?
This new Saab 9-4X crossover has been impressing the public already for more than two years. A dynamic profile seems to be carved from the ice, perfectly emphasizes its high spirit. The grille gives the sense of swiftness to its appearance and makes it looking like airplane wings. The theme of aviation is traditionally observed inside the interior of the cabin. The tuned dashboard only makes the feeling of being in a fighter's cockpit stronger. But driving this SUV is much easier that the fighter or even ordinary civil plane. So it is a golden chance to feel yourself an aviator without leaving the ground.

B.David Stevens
Bruce David Stevens (a.k.a B.David) believes that God has gifted him to help others reach their artistic potential to create God encounters, through the expression of their gifts, voice, and lifestyle. B.David grew up in church and started writing songs in college while working as a Music Director. After college, B.David moved to Atlanta, Georgia to become part of a growing ministry, Destiny Metropolitan Worship Church. As the Worship/Creative Arts Director and head worshiper leader, B.David helped to create dynamic environments where people could experience God for over 6000 attendees per week. David also served as an Executive and Global Creative Pastor at Lifepoint Church in Tampa Florida, a church of 5 campuses with 2500 in attendance.
B.David is an accomplished artist and songwriter producing several solo and group albums and performing not only in the United States but also France, Poland, Rwanda, Egypt, Bermuda, and South Africa.

Gun control groups join forces with $50 million from Michael Bloomberg
One year after legislative efforts to reduce gun violence flamed out in Congress, two gun control groups on Tuesday announced they're merging, in an attempt to revive the debate in Washington and beyond. The new effort is launching with a $50 million commitment from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the support of high profile figures from both sides of the aisle.
The new group, Everytown for Gun Safety, will combine the efforts of the Bloomberg-backed group Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a grassroots movement founded the day after the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. The two groups have been working together since December. The new effort, taking a page out of the playbook of powerful interest groups like the National Rifle Association, will attempt to hold public officials accountable for their stance on gun-related issues and make it a key issue for voters at the ballot box.
"This is the beginning of a major new campaign to reduce the gun violence that plagues communities across the country," Bloomberg, chairman of Everytown for Gun Safety, said in a statement. "There is no question that more needs to be done to tackle this deadly problem, and that's why more than 1.5 million Americans, nearly 1000 mayors and moms in all 50 states have already come together to fight for common-sense reform that will respect rights and save lives."
Since a bill to expand background checks for gun purchases was filibustered in the Senate last year, there's been little hope of reviving the issue before the midterm elections. Still, Everytown will continue to push for expanded background checks and other federal policy changes such as enhanced protections for the victims of domestic violence.
At the same time, the group plans to highlight the issue in state electoral and legislative campaigns. For instance, it's backing a ballot initiative to require universal background checks in Washington state. The group's advocacy arm, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, will "score" state and federal candidates based on their stances on gun-related matters in order to inform voters ahead of elections. The Action Fund is also forming a supporter-funded political action committee.
To carry out these efforts, Everytown is employing field staff in more than a dozen states, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. It has also recruited high-profile figures from the left and the right to sit on the advisory board, including Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo; investor Warren Buffett; National Urban League president Marc Morial; Tom Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor and Homeland Security secretary under President George W. Bush; Michael G. Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under both Mr. Bush and President Obama; and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
Everytown is holding events across the country on Tuesday to rally support for its efforts, and it released an online video about the dangers of child gun access.

"Come for four years, stay for a lifetime"...this motto was personified on a picture-perfect Friday, July 24, 2015 on 36 holes at beautiful Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont. The warm, sunny weather helped spur over 200 committed St. Rita Alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends all turn out for a fun day of golf and fellowship, while raising funds to help a St. Rita college-preparatory education stay as affordable as possible.
The tens of thousands of dollars raised at the 40th Annual St. Rita Scholarship Golf Outing on July 24 will help fund scholarships and tuition assistance for current Ritamen and their families!
Alumni golfers turned out from decades spanning almost 70 years, starting with graduates from the 1950s through recent graduates from the 2010s. St. Rita parents and friends made a strong showing at the outing and dinner too. Rounding out the crowd this year were representatives from first-time sponsor Loras College, who joined our other college sponsor--Wabash College! (Please remember to patronize all our generous sponsors--listed below.)
Lucky silent auction and raffle winners went home with opportunities to play golf at some of Chicagoland's most challenging, private country clubs and also scored some one-of-a-kind items of Mustang gear, including authentic St. Rita sports uniforms and an actual City of Chicago 63rd & Claremont street sign!
We are already looking forward to the 41st Annual St. Rita Scholarship Golf Outing, in less than one year, at Gleneagles Country Club on Friday, July 22, 2016!

Conservative businessman David Asper recently criticized the CMA for declining to endorse the federal government's anti-pot campaign.
While we share concerns about the public health implications of marijuana use (particularly in young people) and we also have unresolved questions about medical marijuana, the CMA, together with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians felt that the issue had become a political football. In addition, the request issued for us to sign a confidentiality agreement would have impaired our ability to speak freely about the campaign or its content.

Our clients call upon us to work on their hardest problems—delivering effective health care, protecting warfighters and their families, keeping our national infrastructure secure, bringing into focus the traditional boundaries between consumer products and manufacturing as those boundaries blur.
Booz Allen was founded on the notion that we could help companies succeed by bringing them expert, candid advice and an outside perspective on their business. The analysis and perspective generated by that talent can be found in the case studies and thought leadership produced by our people.

Many organizations (both commercial and federal) see the potential in capitalizing on data to unlock operational efficiencies, to create new services and experiences, and to propel innovation. Unfortunately, too many business leaders invest in one-off technical solutions—with a big price tag and mixed results—instead of investing in a strategic data science capability.
A data science capability embeds and operationalizes data science across an enterprise such that it can deliver the next level of organizational performance and return on investment. A data science capability moves an organization beyond performing pockets of analytics to an enterprise approach that uses analytical insights as part of the normal course of business.
Building a data science capability in any organization isn't easy—there's a lot to learn, with roadblocks and pitfalls at every turn. But it can be done—and done right. Based on our pioneering work with Federal and commercial clients, and in building our own, 500+ data science team (one of the world's largest), Booz Allen can help you understand what's needed, how to get started, and how to mature your data science capability.
"Building a strategic #datascience capability: what's needed, how to get started, & how to evolve it via @BoozAllen"
Here are some of the most common questions we hear and how we can help.
Data science dominates the popular business press as a discipline that can deliver unprecedented outcomes. As a result, organizational leaders are clamoring to put their data to good use. However, it's important to look before you leap. Booz Allen can help you define your analytics goals and map out a step-by-step plan to get there.
Our proprietary Data Science Value Realization (DScVR) framework evaluates an organization's existing capacity for data science across 5 key dimensions (Data Attributes, Data Governance, Analytic Assets, Talent, and Culture). DScVR consists of a short diagnostic, a tailored deep dive assessment, and results in the identification of data science capability gaps and critical data science needs. Clients walk away with a 1-2 year capability building roadmap that will put them on a solid path to generating value from their data.
Explore the 5 typical profiles of organizations pursuing enterprise analytics and see where you might fit. Learn techniques to most effectively move forward.
With demand for data science talent far outpacing supply, Booz Allen created a first-of-its-kind Data Science Talent Management Model. Starting from scratch, we used the experience of our own 500+ data science team, our experience working with government clients spanning every federal market sector, and our experience supporting Fortune 500 commercial clients to describe the core elements of data science work activities. Then, we defined those characteristics that best represent successful execution of the work, and developed a Talent Management Model that will arm clients with the insights needed to best identify, attract, grow, and retain data science talent.
Complete with a data science competency framework, Booz Allen customizes this Talent Management Model to empower our clients to succeed during the current talent shortage and beyond. Learn more about our Data Science Management Talent Model and how to recruit, retain, and nurture the right talent for your team.
The heartbeat of any data science capability is knowledge and know-how. Booz Allen has a suite of offerings to enable clients to join the "data science club" and realize value from data.
From our proprietary online training course Explore Data Science, which introduces common data science theory and techniques, to our ground-breaking Field Guide to Data Science—which spells out what data science is and why it matters and provides field-tested approaches, personal tips and tricks, and real-life case studies—Booz Allen is committed to making sure that organizations have the knowledge needed to succeed.
Booz Allen's approach also extends beyond analytic techniques. We apply the art of design-thinking, or human-centered design, to extract the most value from data. Learn how you could apply and benefit from design-thinking to maximize value in your organization.
There are a variety of ways to align data science within an organizational enterprise - for example, a centralized model, a diffused model, or a deployed model – each with their own advantages and challenges. Booz Allen guides clients to select the right organizational alignment and designs organizational structures for data science teams to achieve analytic goals.
Learn more about how to select and implement the right organizational model for your needs and how to stand up a Chief Data Officer.
Building a data science capability is really about using analytics to generate insights that can be used by organizations to inform strategic decisions and propel the organization to the next level of performance. Booz Allen identified the foundational building blocks that are universal to delivering on the promise of analytics. We help our clients deliberately create the conditions for data science to flourish and then empower our client's to own an organic transformation.
Has your data science investment delivered on its promise? Learn how your culture may be contributing and what you can do about it. Also, find out how effective change management can help you build buy-in and nurture adoption for your analytics practice.
Whether you're an IT executive, skilled analytics practitioner, or data science novice, Tips for Building a Data Science Capability contains the insights you need.

Farm Services
Our philosophy...
We proudly serve our local community with sustainably grown produce, (some year around in our greenhouse), as well as pasture-raised pork and eggs from happy, pasture-raised hens. It is important to us to replenish the earth, so we are sure to utilize our compost, cover-crops as well as companion planting our vegetables to put nutrients back into the soil. Using no-till farming practices, we are able to help the soil retain it's nutrients, so that our vegetables are as nourishing as they are delicious. We don't use any chemicals or pesticides on any product on our farm. We strive to have our farm work as a whole--the chickens help to spread manure, the pigs help to rototill, many of our vegetables nourish the soil for the following year. We are a family-owned small farm, and sustainability, organic practices, healthy food and serving our community are very important to us.
Pork and Eggs
Raising hens to produce eggs is something Meggie has done for years. On our farm, the hens serve us by managing the pesky flies, as well as spreading manure. This natural diet produces eggs full of nutrients, color and flavor. Our hens spend their time outside during the day, and have a safe coup to spend their nights. In 2018 we are raising a limited amount of pasture-raised pork. Our pigs also work for their keep, helping to "rototill" our garden & our areas where we plant native grasses, flowers for birds, bees and bugs. Pasture-raised pork takes a longer time to grow, but we feel it's important to feed pigs their natural food. Our pigs live a happy life, outdoors with a shelter and always have a fresh patch of grass to dig up. Pork is sold by the half, please contact us to reserve yours.

"We are a more focused organization today"
TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane today reported to the Board of Directors on the implementation of the 23 recommendations in the 2014 Secretary of State's audit. The comprehensive audit completed a year ago, focused on the agency's finances, transparency and operations.
"We are a more focused organization today because of the outside perspective that the audit provided and we not only implemented the recommendations, we also ensured that the improvements are sustainable going forward," said McFarlane.
Secretary of State Auditor Will Garber commented that "we're encouraged to see the progress that TriMet has made on all of the recommendations."
The Audit Summary and the Audit Recommendations Checklist outline actions taken on each of the 23 recommendations. Key improvements include:
Financial issues
The audit concurred with TriMet's assessment that the most significant financial challenges facing the agency were the cost of healthcare benefits and the unfunded liability to pay for current and future retirees. The new union contract put the agency on a path of reducing these benefits, and the Strategic Financial Plan approved in July sets a course for funding these benefits.
Employee engagement
Several actions were implemented related to improving frontline employee engagement and communication in the areas of safety, route design, schedules, new bus design, training, and annual formal evaluation. TriMet also improved its Request for Safety Assessment process making it easier to report and track concerns.
Union relations
The labor contract ratified last October completed the implementation of several recommendations. This included formalizing the bus operator Hours of Service policy into the contract and the ability to hire technical trade positions from outside the agency.
While the audit noted TriMet's Accountability webpage offered a high level of transparency, TriMet created the Transparency and Accountability Center on its website and regularly reviews agency contact. An independent hotline was created for employees to report waste, fraud and abuse of district resources.
The agency has moved forward with making improvements to our maturing infrastructure and a heightened focus on rail reliability.
"I'm so proud of our employees throughout the agency who embraced the audit recommendations and through their efforts, demonstrated their commitment to further our focus on continuous improvement. These efforts will also benefit our riders and the entire community," said McFarlane.

New Video Instructions To Help Assemble Your Shed!
Wow! Who would have thought our little homemade 'How to Build our Shed' video would have gotten so much attention. This little video one of our employees and her husband posted of building their shed at home a few years ago has more than 111,400 views. Our customers have told us how much they appreciate having videos along with the instructions to help guide them through their shed assembly. I am happy to announce we've provided even more shed assembly help videos. We have been working hard on producing videos that are specific to the various shed models we produce. We have taken the more difficult parts of our instruction manuals, as rated by our customers, and turned them into step-by-step videos.

What's Eating My Rhodondendrons?
MG Volunteer: "OSU Extension Master Gardener volunteer. How may I help you?"
Caller: The leaves of my rhododendrons are being eaten. We're getting to the end of June, and now there are notches appearing on the leaves.
MGV: Where are the plants located in your yard? What is your soil type?
Caller: They are all in a shady or partly shaded areas that are close to the house. My soil is just Willamette Valley clay.
MGV: What method of irrigation do you use on the plants?
Caller: They get watered with the lawn.
MGV: Is there any damage on other parts of the plants? (Bark, roots or lower stems)
Caller: I do see some kind of chewing on the lower stems.
MGV: Have you seen any insects or mites on the plants?
Caller: I went out with a light one night and saw some black insects.
Weevils--strawberry root weevil, black vine weevil, obscure root weevil. Root weevil emerge as adults in mid-summer and begin to feed on plant foliage and begin to lay eggs 3-4 weeks later. As larvae emerge, they burrow into soil to feed on roots. More information can be found at this website
Cultural: Add parasitic nematodes in soil below to limit larvae. Add when temps. are above 52 degrees. Crop rotation (if possible). Handpick with flashlight at night. Trim leaves touching ground to limit access.
Mechanical: Use sticky Tanglefoot-type product to trap weevils before they can crawl up to notch leaves.
Chemical: Refer to PNW Insect Management Handbook. Treatments are available only for adult insect with foliar applications.
(Thanks to the Benton County Master Gardeners for developing this scenario)

Top Places to Visit in TokyoMonday, May 25th, 2015
Tokyo is one of the civilized and well organized cities. Tokyo experience would be one of the unforgettable experiences in your lifetime. Here we present you with a list of essential places which should not be missed out in Tokyo.
1) Meiji Shrine (traditional Tokyo)
Accessible from the Harajuku station on the JR Yamanote line, Meiji Shrine is a Shinto shrine situated in the shibuyu ward. It is located in the middle of a pleasant forest with large torri gates leading you to the main hall. This shrine is dedicated to divine spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife. Now it has became a popular place for wedding ceremonies. The wedding ceremony is led by two shrine priests and two shrine maidens. The couple walks under the big red umbrella followed by their family and friends. Shinto wedding ceremonies are very unique and sober.
2) Yoyogi park on Sunday
One of the best places to watch people of Tokyo is Yoyogi Park. Yoyogi park is full with people specially on Sunday with young Japanese people. You can get a view of unleashed wackiness of a reserved nation. This place consist of lot of people starting from couples in love to people in meetings, from shy Lolita's to classy girls drinking wine from crystal glass sitting on a picnic cloth. You can also see teenagers rehearsing their plays and people giving a ride to their cats in supermarket trolleys. Tokyo being such a populated city, you never feel place overfilled with people.
3) Tokyo tower and Tokyo skytree
Tokyo tower is communication and observation tower. It is considered to be the second tallest artificial structure of Japan which is 332.5 meters. Visitors can observe it at 150 meters and if you want to take more specific view then you can observe at 250 meters to take a bird's eye view of Tokyo. Tokyo tower got too much fame because of its similarity with Eiffel Tower and till now it has attracted plenty of tourists. Now Tokyo skytree has also been developed in the city. It's a question of anxiety whether it would give competition to Tokyo tower in attracting tourists. Tokyo skytree was completed in 2012 and it is 333 meters tall. Tokyo tower is decorated with orange and white light at night while Tokyo skytree is painted with bunch of colors every evening. Time will show which place becomes more popular among people.
4) Sensoji Temple
Sensoji is Tokyo's oldest and most traditional temple. It is Tokyo's largest Buddhist temple and major attraction for foreigners and Japanese located in Asakusa. Beside the temple there is 200 meter shopping street from where you can purchase anything like Buddhist scrolls, toys, snacks and trinkets. There is a very beautiful story behind the evolution of the temple. In 7th century, while fishing two fishermen found statue of kannon in the river. The headman of the village recognized the deity presented on the statue and decided to transform his own house into a temple. Thus this temple id dedicated to Bodhisattva Kannon which is also known as Guan yin or the goddess of mercy.

Dell commercial shot @ Pio central!
A few weeks ago, I got an email from someone at a local production company called Arts + Labor who wanted to scout my home, which she'd seen in this feature on Apartment Therapy, to potentially use in a Dell commercial.
I let her know I was no longer living in that apartment, but had moved to a house, and I sent her some photos of it. They needed a space with a workshop, because the ad is about a woman who's a 'maker,' creates her products in her home, and then uses a tablet to photograph/sell the work.
She and her crew came by that afternoon and snapped some photos of the space. And then I heard from her - not only did they want to use my home/studio to shoot, but, because craft was so central to the commercial, they asked if they could also use Pio jewelry in it!
It was really exciting to watch the commercial being shot. Having worked in advertising, the behind-the-scenes stuff always appealed to me the most -- seeing what goes into actually producing the images we see in the final product of a commercial. This time, I got to hang out and watch as the team ran around my house, moving all sorts of furniture around, steam-ironing a curtain (!), artfully arranging my jewels, creating the story about a woman who wakes up and lives and breathes her craft(helped along by her tablet, of course).
They shot my workbench from above, featuring my pieces; they'd ask to use photos from my website, which were featured in several scenes on the tablet screen. Can't wait to see the final product, which I'll certainly post here, but for now, some photos from the shoot.

Freedom 251 first look
An Indian electronics company has launched a smartphone that only costs Rs 251 – or around £2.60. A little-known company from Uttar Pradesh launched the world's cheapest smartphone, the Freedom 251. Freedom 251 is rebranded version of Adcom Ikon 4; Chinese smartphone sold under 'Make in India'. The Freedom 251, manufactured by Ringing Bells(an agro commodity trading company), launches on 18 February and will bring a " revolution to the industry," a company spokeswoman told AFP.
Freedom 251
Bookings for the Freedom 251 will start from February 18(Thursday) from 6am (online at Freedom 251 official site) and close on February 21 at 8pm.
The company says deliveries will be completed by June 30.
Ringing bells Freedom 251 Specifications
- Android 5.1
- Device with 4-inch display
- 8 GB internal memory
- Expandable to 32 GB
- Powered by 1.3 GHz quad-core processor
- 3.2-megapixel real camera
- 0.3 megapixel VGA front-facing camera
- 1450 mAh battery
- Dual SIM option
Freedom 251 will come with preinstalled apps including Women Safety, Swachh Bharat, Fisherman, Farmer, Medical, WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube. The features will help in digital inclusion of villagers.
Freedom 251 first look
How to book India's cheapest smartphone Freedom 251
- Visit www.freedom251.com for Booking at 6 AM. Make sure you open the site one hour before atleast as it is expected to have huge traffic.
- Click on Add to cart.
- Enter Your Full details.(Name, Address Mobile no.etc)
- Make Payment with suitable Available options.
- Done. That's it!!
Few more important updates about Freedom251
- Their website is experiencing heavy traffic issues and not opening for most of the people.
- Few lucky people are being able to add product to cart.
- The quantity per person is not limited to one and a user can buy any number of phones but we still advise you to buy 1 piece as they many cancel multiple orders.
- There are Rs 40 shipping charges per piece of mobile phone. So overall, the phone cost Rs 291.
- We have heard that "Cash on delivery" is also available but still looking for a confirmation.
- Finally keep trying to open website – http://www.freedom251.com or http://184.108.40.206/index.php/cart
The company behind the Freedom 251 said it is being developed in sync with the Modi government's 'Make in India' and 'Digital India' initiatives and would help bring down the affordability of smartphones by a large degree. "However, we are not receiving any subsidy from the government or any other official agency," a senior official of Ringing Bells said.
So how has the company managed to get a near-magical figure for a device that runs on a 1.3GHz quad-core processor device, and comes with a charger, headphones, screen-guard and a one-year warranty while also carrying a 3.2-megapixel back camera, 0.3-megapixel front camera, and a 1450mAh battery?
"We are working on a variety of cost-saving initiatives to keep the cost of the devices lower than its approximate per unit price of Rs 2,500. These include local assembling in India that saves us around Rs 400, large-scale sourcing that saves around Rs 400-500, online sales with no on-ground staff that itself saves us around Rs 500. The rest of the savings come in from an online marketplace that we create on our website by allowing other companies on the platform," Ashok Chadha of Ringing Bells said.
However, industry experts said the device is being sourced from Adcom, a Delhi-based importer of IT products which is already available at some e-commerce websites, but at a higher cost.

Contingent liabilities: indemnities
An indemnity is not the same as a warranty or representation. It is not a statement about the state or nature of the asset being sold but a promise to make good a loss suffered by the purchaser in specific instances. The advantage of an indemnity to the purchaser is that it gives them a quicker and simpler method of getting payment if they suffer a loss. For example the vendor may give a warranty against unexpected pre-sale tax liabilities of a company. They may also indemnify the purchaser against such liabilities. To claim under the warranty the purchaser would have to show there was a breach of the warranty and that they have suffered a quantified loss arising from that breach. To claim under the indemnity the purchasers would only have to show that the liability had arisen and it was covered by the indemnity.
An indemnity is a contingent liability but it is not a warranty or representation. Strictly it does not fall within TCGA92/S49 and the consideration received by the vendor giving an indemnity should take account of the indemnity, see CG14809. But paragraph 13 of ESC/D33 says that in practice TCGA92/S49 can apply to payments under an indemnity made by the vendor to the purchaser. This includes cases where a payment is made by a vendor company under an indemnity, but the gain or loss has been treated as accruing to a different company following an election under TCGA92/S171A (CG45355+).
There is further guidance on the treatment of warranty and indemnity payments in the hands of the purchaser at CG13010.

Burbank residents did more than count their blessings Saturday – they put them on display.
Inspired by Burbank author Todd Jensen's book "On Gratitude," community members and city staff unfurled an enormous list of things they are thankful for, written out and then strung together for exhibit. More than long enough to ring the perimeter of the Buena Vista Library, the list included 2,713 submissions collected during the last month.
"They are happy to focus on something good," library assistant Joan Cappocchi said of the participants. "It just has been the right time for it. People have been very receptive."
The unveiling of the list of gratitudes marked the conclusion of the annual One City One Book program — now its fifth year in Burbank — designed to promote reading and to draw people to their local libraries. This year, committee members harnessed the momentum of the city's Centennial celebration, selecting Jensen's non-fiction work as the book to read.
"His book was just perfect because it is on gratitude and that was a feeling we wanted to promote for our Centennial," library staff member Louise Paziak said.
The 40-year-old Jensen, a life-long Burbank resident, has spent his career as an entertainment journalist writing for publications such as "Men's Health" and "Costco Connections." He was inspired to pen a book after surviving a particularly difficult period in his life that included a divorce, among other things.
Jensen began reaching out to celebrities and public figures, many of them people he had crossed paths with professionally, and asked them to share personal experiences of struggle and triumph.
Published in 2010, "On Gratitude" is a collection of 50 stories that features notable names such as Alicia Keys and Jeff Bridges. Among his favorites, Jensen said, is an entry by healer and peace activist Depak Chopra.
"He shared with me a lot of stories about when he was in his early 20s and some of the rough choices and habits and lifestyle situations he had going on," Jensen said. "That was really inspiring for me and it has actually moved a lot of people. It is one of the stories that people come to me a lot and want to talk about."
The author's mother, Ardyth Jensen, said that her son was "born reading" and had long aspired to write his own book. "On Gratitude" serves to remind readers how rich and full their lives are, she said.
"We forget to be grateful for a lot of things that we take for granted," Ardyth Jensen said.
Writing the book, and having it selected for One City One Book, has brought many familiar faces back into his life, Jensen said. The Buena Vista Library was the last stop on his paper route when he was a boy, he noted.
"Some of the ladies who are in there today are the ones who used to put Ray Bradbury in my hands when I was 12 years old," Jensen said. "To be able to connect with them now as an adult, and to be able to have my book on the shelf — it's beyond words."

Hi Jenna,
I'm curious. What are the black symbols on the side of your bee box? They seem to match the same thing on the right side of your blog...
- Eva said...
As a former beekeeper I would recommend better (tight) fitting gloves.
- Shaun said...
Oh I wish I was getting bees this season.
- tammy said...
Oh boy... I am SO looking forward to this! I'm planning on my first hive this spring too. Right now I'm refinishing the old smoker that my grandfather used with his bees. It's going to be white with brass colored trim, honey colored wood stain to match the burgandy bellows. I am SO excited! Lucky you!
- Jenna said...
those three runes have been around my whole life, and have been scribbled on everything from beehives to water bottles over the years so i know it's mine. They are old norse runes - algiz, wunjo, and jera. They literally mean peace/protection, love/hope, and fall/harvest along with a bunch of other things. I like them.
- said...
Very cool. Thanks for the info.
- Carrie and Justin said...
I'm so eager to follow your bee keeping! This is something I really am interested in, but am not sure I can pull off where we live. I wish you lots of luck and look forward to seeing your progress (& honey!).
- Elsie said...
I put bees in last spring, though I think I lost the hive. It was a rough summer here in VA and I should have fed them earlier - not enough bees to keep things warm in this inordinately cold winter.... (my "bee mentor" who has been doing this forever lost half of his hives so at least I know it was a challenging year.)
I am planning on another order this spring. I have my bees in the city though. My neighbors have been super excited and supportive.
- denny said...
Nice! I'm planning to get bees set up this spring and was very excited to see these photos.
- said...
Jenna, you are a very positive person. is it just a coincidence that algiz wunjo jera seems to spell the english word "Y-E-S," perhaps scratched out by one of your chickens?
- Leiflet said...
- Stacy said...
Hi Jenna,
a friend of mine linked me to your blog as I'm "into that sort of thing" It's true, there's no denying it.
I love your stories and photographs of the farm, and hopefully someday I'll have my own. Two years ago I started beekeeping and gardening, and that has been a fun adventure.
Keep up the good work and live the dream!
- Christa said...
We are looking forward to hearing more about the bees!

5. Description of different Circuit Breaker
5.4 Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) Circuit Breaker and SF6 Insulated Metalclad switchgear
5.4.5 Merits and Demerits of SF6 Circuit Breaker
- Outdoor EHV SF6 CB has less number of interrupters per pole than ABCB and MOCB. It is simple, less costly, maintenance free compact.
- The gas is non-inflammable and chemically stable. The decomposition product are not explosive. Hence there is no danger of fire or explosions.
- Same gas is re-circulated in the circuit. Hence requirement of SF6 gas is small in the long run. No replacement is required for at least five years.
- Ample overload margin. For the same size of conductors, the current carrying ability of SF6 CB is about 1.5 times that of ABCB because of superior heat transferability of SF6 gas.
- The breaker is silent and does not sound, like ABCB, during operation.
- The sealed construction avoids the contamination by moisture, dust, sand, etc.
- No cost for compressed air system as in ABCB.
- Maintenance required is minimum. The breaker may need maintenance once in four to ten years.
- Ability to interrupt low and high fault currents, magnetizing currents, capacitive currents, without excessive over voltage. Sf6 gas CB can perform the various duties like clearing short line faults, opening unloaded transmission lines, capacitor switching, transformers, reactor switching. etc. much smoothly
- Excellent insulating, arc extinguishing, physical and chemical properties of SF6 gas is the greatest advantages of SF6 breakers.
- No frequent contact replacement. Contact corrosion is very small due to inertness of SF6 gas. Hence, contacts do not suffer oxidation.
- No over voltage problems. Due to particular properties of SF6 gas, the arc is extinguished at natural current zero without current chopping and associated over voltage originating in circuit breakers
- Simplicity of the interrupter chamber which does not need an auxiliary chamber for breaking.
- Autonomy provided by the puffer technique.
- The possibility to obtain the highest performances, up to 36 KA, with a reduced number of interrupting chambers.
- Short break time of 2 to 2.5 cycles.
- High electrical endurance, allowing at least 25 years of operation without reconditioning.
- Possible compact solutions when used for GIS or hybrid switchgear.
- Integrated closing resistors or synchronized operations to reduce switching over voltages.
- Reliability and availability.
- Low noise level.
5.4.6 Some Demerits of SF6 Circuit Breaker
- Sealing problems arise due to the type of construction used. Special materials are necessary in construction. Imperfect joints lead to leakage of gas.
- Arced SF6 gas is poisonous and should not be inhaled or let-out.
- Influx of moisture in the system is very dangerous to SF6 gas circuit breakers.
- The double pressure SF6 CB is relatively costly.
- The internal parts should be cleaned thoroughly during periodic maintenance, under clean, dry environment.
- Special facilities are needed for transporting the gas, transferring the gas, and maintaining the quality of the gas. The deterioration of quality of the gas affects the reliability of the SF6 circuit breaker.
- Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) Circuit Breaker
- Properties of SF6 Gas
- Arc Extinction in SF6 Circuit Breaker
- Single Pressure Puffer Type SF6 Circuit Breaker
