Several weeks ago, the official Android 4.1.1 XXDLIB Jelly Bean firmware was launched for the Galaxy S3 and, we told you how to update your SGS3 to official stock Jelly Bean easily. Now, we will teach you how to successfully re-gain root access on your Galaxy S3 smartphone using CF-Root by Chainfire from XDA. Use all the instructions that I have listed in this post and you will manage to root your device.
This tutorial should be used by advanced Android users and you should apply it on your device in case you wish to get access to all other Galaxy S3 functions. Applying this root will allow you to install new Custom Jelly Bean ROMs that will improve the overall performance of your device. Note that before rooting your device, you will first need to read the pre-requisites guide and learn what you have to do so that the root process will complete successfully. Remember that you might be forced to wipe the data after applying the root, as the device might be able to boot properly. More about this can be found in the prep guide.
CF-Root tool was created by Chainfire and it is one of the most popular rooting solutions for Galaxy S3 owners. You should be able to flash all files in under five minutes without the need of losing any data. The only thing that you need to remember is that in case the phone doesn't power ON after the root, you will need to boot into a custom recovery mode and wipe data and factory reset the device. Hopefully, you won't need to do all that and the root will apply successfully.
Now that you read all of the above, I think that you should move to the pre-requisites and guidelines part of this post and, learn how to properly configure your device so that you'll manage to root the Galaxy S3 I9300 at your first attempt. Here's what you need to know:
- Apply this root only on the Samsung Galaxy S3 model number I9300. Do not use this guide with other Android devices as you might end up bricking their firmware. Check your phone's model version by opening the 'About Device' menu from the Settings menu.
- Note that you should backup all your important files. Move them to your computer or place them on your device's internal /external sdcard. Note that you should backup SMS and other important files.
- The Contacts app can be synced with your Gmail account.
- Disable all antivirus applications that are running on your computer. This will prevent such security programs from blocking CF-Root and Odin. Odin is the program that you will use to flash the root files.
- Your computer should have the Samsung USB drivers installed. If yours doesn't then you can choose to download them from here ( Windows 64-bit x64 ), or here ( Windows 32bit x86 ).
- Disable the Samsung Kies software when Odin application will run.
- Open Settings, then Applications > Development and enable the USB Debugging option. This option will help your PC recognize your Galaxy S3 before installing the root.
- Charge your phone's battery so that it won't power off in the middle of the rooting process.
- The rooting process shouldn't take more than five minutes. But, you should only apply it if you know what you're doing.
- We cannot be blamed in case you damage your device in the process or, in case you lose any data after flashing CF-Root.
- Use the comments section to post all your extra questions regarding this tutorial. Also, tell us in comments if you managed to apply the root and if you found any bugs after applying all files.
Now that you know all of the above, I think that you should move to the next part of this article. Read all the instructions that are listed under the tutorial and only after you've read them all, you can begin the root.
If you cannot complete the root, please ask for more by leaving a detailed comments, at the end of this post.
How to root Galaxy S3 I9300 on Android 4.1.1 XXDLIB Firmware with CF-Root:
- Download CF-Root XXDLIB rooting zip file HERE. Extract its contents into a single folder on your desktop. You should get a single 'CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar' file. Do not extract any further than that.
- Download Odin 1.85 from HERE. Unzip it into the same folder as the XXDLIB rooted firmware.
- Now, power off your smartphone as you will need to boot it into Download mode.
- Enter Download Mode by pressing at the same time 'volume down' + 'home' + 'power' buttons. Release the buttons when the screen lights up. The phone will load a welcoming screen and you will be told press 'volume up' in order to enter Download Mode. ODIN should say 'ADDED' and this means that the phone was recognized by the PC and you're good to go. If ODIN doesn't display the added message, then you need to reinstall the Samsung USB drivers as otherwise you cannot root your phone.
- Launch ODIN executable on your computer and connect your SGS3 to your computer using the USB cable.
- In ODIN click the 'PDA' tab button and browse your computer for the 'CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar' file. Load it into ODIN and move to the next step.
- Do not change any default Odin settings and then click on START. Now the rooting process will be launched and you should wait at least 3 minutes for it to complete.
- When the root is completed, your Galaxy S3 will restart and ODIN should say 'PASS'. This means that the root was applied and your phone can be disconnected from your PC.
- After the SGS3 boots successfully, you should go to Play Store and download the 'Root Checker' app on your device and run it to see if the root was applied. Alternatively, you can search your App drawer for the SuperSU / SuperUser application, as that will mean that the guide was successful.
- Now that the root has been applied, you can begin the search for new Jelly Bean root-based applications or you can even install a brand new custom Android 4.1.1 JB ROM.
NOTE: In case ODIN doesn't display the 'PASS' alert, then the root wasn't installed and you have to close ODIN, disconnect the phone from PC, power off the phone, remove its battery, re-insert it back in its place and then re-run ODIN and connect the PC with your SGS3. Repeat the entire tutorial again and this time make sure that ODIN completes the root.
NOTE 2: If ODIN displays the 'PASS' message but, the phone is unable to go past the boot animation or it gets into a boot loop, then it means that you will have to wipe data and factory reset the device. Remember that this step will delete all installed apps, SMS and other data that is stored on your device, which means that you cannot retrieve it.
Here's how to enter custom recovery mode and force your phone to boot normally after root:
- Power off the SGS3 and remove its battery. Re-insert the battery after 4 seconds.
- Press the following buttons at the same time until the screen powers ON : volume up, home and power.
- The custom Recovery mode will load now and you have to select 'wipe data/ factory reset' option.
- Confirm this process.
- Return to the main recovery screen and then select 'reboot system now'.
- Galaxy S3 should now boot normally and it should be rooted.
These were all the steps that I had for your. If you have any other questions or you've encountered any other problems, please leave a detailed comment below.

Are you a Thunderstorm Lover or Hater?
Me I do enjoy them but not especially when I'm trying to sleep. Tinker our Maltese handles them surprisingly well, but she does like to cuddle when they happen. Fireworks, oh hell no she tries to climb out of your arms and run, but a rumbly thunderstorm she barks, growls and cuddles. Very cute!
My only concern with a big storm is a possible power outage. Read my little post and you'll understand why
Remember, stormy weather will be coming soon, so be safe.

Katy Perry Keeps It Simple in New 'Prism' Photo
Katy Perry is in full-on promo mode for her new album 'Prism,' out Oct. 22, three days before her 29th birthday. She sent a gold-plated semi with the date stamped on the side out into the world to announce the news. She also issued a teaser where she torched her 'Teenage Dream'-era wig. Now, she's shared a simple promo photo.
No candy-colored makeup. No Bettie Page bangs. No wigs. No lollipop bras. Just Perry, without a lick of cosmetics (save her obvious concealer and foundation) and shoulder-skimming, shaggy, textured and layered black hair, wearing a mustard yellow fuzzy sweater and ruby red bra.
This is the newer, simple, more stripped down Katy Perry.
We'll hear this pop lioness 'ROAR' when the new single drops.

Topic: Bobble Head Piggy Banks
Has anyone seen these yet. They have a 12-inch "piggy bank" version, and a smaller bobble head.
http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi … ber=FU8256
The smaller 6-inch bobble head isn't like the old one that Star Wars.com was selling a couple years ago. This one is made from PVC, I believe. So, hopefully, the rocket tip won't break off so easily, as the older ceramic one did.

NEWPORT, R.I. - The Yale men's golf team may be tied for eighth at the Classic at Shell Harbor after Saturday's rounds, but they are far from out of the hunt for the championships. The Bulldogs sit just nine strokes out of first, a spot held by their Ancient Eight rival Columbia Lions. Harvard sits in second, a stroke off the lead.
Yale's best individual performance of the day came from sophomore Carson Weinand, whose 75 places him in an eight-way tie for 16th, just five strokes behind the tournament's day-one leader, host Rhode Island's Taylor Fontaine.
Just one stroke behind Weinand was captain Tom McCarthy, whose +5 day left him in a tie for 24th. Freshman standout Sam Bernstein is just behind his captain, sitting in a tie for 35th after an opening-round 77.
The Bulldogs will look to close the gap on the Lions and the rest of the field when they take to the course for Sunday's final round.

A Christmas Research Semi-Miracle: The Edwards Family, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1913
This photo postcard was printed by the Lyall Commercial Photo Co., Ltd., in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Lyall Studio photographed many important Western Canadian sites and events. Most of their work, however, centres on Winnipeg. Their real postcard photographs are held in a number of archives across the prairie provinces.
Unfortunately, the location of this photo isn't given. I thought it was likely that the image was taken in Winnipeg. There is an name and address on the reverse, even though the card was not sent through the mail.
Mrs. Edwards
35 Queen Street
New Town
I tried finding an Edwards family, specifically with this address in the England Census, but I could only find several possibilities on Familysearch.org. I couldn't take a look at the actual census pages because they were unavailable so I decided to take a different approach.
The family seems to consist of a mother, father, a young girl about three years old, and an infant. I had to pull out my reading glasses to see it, but there is a house number on the column to next to the baby: 421.
I guessed the photo would have been taken around 1910-1915 based on the style of the mother's outfit and her hairdo.
Since I only had a surname name to go by, I searched the 1916 Canada Census for any Edwards living in Winnipeg in 1916. I thought it was doubtful that I'd find anything, since I didn't know if Mrs. Edwards was an acquaintance, friend or family member. I had a hunch that it might be the husband's mother. At least, I hoped it was because that would mean I was searching for an Edwards family. I went through every Edwards entry in Winnipeg, looking for someone who had a house number of 421. I found one.
George Thomas Edwards, b. 1883, England, to Canada in 1903.
Sarah Edwards, b. 1885, England, to Canada in 1908
Grace, daughter, age 6
Clarence, son, age 4
Alfred, son, age 3.
And the address: 421 Worley (or so the Ancestry transcriber wrote.) I tried 421 Worley in Google maps. Nothing. I went back and re-read the original census page. The street name was actually Morley.
I searched 421 Morley, Winnipeg in Google maps, and selected the street view.
The address still exists. The house still exists! It is most definitely the same home. The exterior looks pretty much as it did back in the mid-1910s, with different paint colours and replaced windows. There's also been an addition to one side of the house, eliminating half of the front porch, but it still has the distinctive attic window. I would post today's version here for comparison, but I don't know how I'd feel if someone posted my home on their blog (although I guess if it wasn't for Google maps, I couldn't have made the connection).
I have no hesitation identifying these folks as the Edwards family. Since Baby Alfred doesn't appear in the photo, and son Clarence is just an infant I think we can safely date the photograph around 1913.
UPDATE! February 3, 2012 -- I am happy to report that the Edwards postcard photograph has been reunited with the grandson & family of one of children in the photograph. It's on its way back to Winnipeg.

1911 censusReplyDelete
419 Morley, Winnepeg
George born Feb 1882, Annie b March 1884, both in England, Immigration George 1903, Annie 1909, Grace born Dec 1910 Manitoba
Thanks, kbbc, that's definitely them. Either they lived at a different location on the same street in 1911 or the address numbers were adjusted by 1913 or so.ReplyDelete
I also found the family travelling back to Canada on the ship "Grampion" in 1920 after heading to England in November of 1919.Replies
I can answer this one for you... my name is Doreen Edwards and George was a carpenter and my grandfather-inlaw....Delete
I believe he built both homes and lived in 419 Morley until 421 was built and then they moved into there. They lived in these homes until they went back to England for a short time after the war only to return to Canada and lived at 621 Alverstone St. George worked for many years for and retired as a parks board construction supervisor.
Hi Doreen, I love it when all those loose ends get tied up so neatly. Thanks for the explanation on the extra house number. It was such fun working on this one!Delete

Wow!!! That is fantastic detective work and you should be quite pleased with yourself!ReplyDelete
oh my God ! That is my husbands family! Yes it is George Thomas , Sarah ,his wife, and Grace and my father in law, clarence. alf and Clarence are gone now but Grace is still alive at 101 years old! email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you like to tell me how you came upon this photo. amazing that I come across this now... I have been researching off and on for some 20 years but never went past the first two pages of hits on any names finding them mostly irelelivent. holy smoke!ReplyDelete
hi I have recently gone and ask permission to take photos of the same house at 421 Morley Street. A elderly woman and her grandchild were there. They were interested in my story and said it was all right to publish the photo on your site. How do you want me to upload the picture. Doreen EdwardsReplyDelete

The smartphone app put the most diverse borough in New York City at your fingertips, with information on the best restaurants, hotels, events, and attractions. The app will also provide deals and coupons.
The application was developed by Digital Natives, a Queens-based digital marketing agency.
The chamber hopes it will encourage more of the 50 million tourists that come to New York City each year to visit Queens.
"As the most popular tourist destination in the country, we have focused on finding ways to continue growing this sector of the New York City economy and attracting visitors to all we have to offer," said Matthew Goldstein, chair of the Regional Economic Development Corporation, which sponsored the app. "The 'This is Queens' app will not only draw more tourists to Queens, but open their eyes to the wonderful attractions that often get passed."
"Over the next year, there will be events attended by hundreds of thousands of tourists, including the MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field and US Open Tennis," said chamber executive director Jack Friedman. "We wanted to make sure each of these visitors knew what Queens had to offer."
The app has six functions: explore, eat, see, stay, do and Queens deals.
"Every years millions of visitors pass through Queens without discovering the incredible sights, sounds, tastes, and business opportunities in this extraordinary and diverse borough," said Friedman. "The app lets you explore Queens like a native, whether you just landed at JFK, came to Citi Field for a game, or take in some of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the world."

Daniel Catán, an opera composer and librettist whose works including "Il Postino" and "Florencia en el Amazonas" have been praised for their lyrical romanticism and humane generosity of spirit, died suddenly Saturday in Austin, Texas. He was 62.
Catán's death was announced by the Butler School of Music of the University of Texas, where he was a visiting artist. The cause has not been determined. A South Pasadena resident, Catán had been commissioned by the Butler School to adapt Frank Capra's 1941 classic film "Meet John Doe" for the operatic stage.
Catán's most recent opera, "Il Postino" (The Postman), which was adapted from the popular 1994 film based on Antonio Skarmeta's novel about a fictional friendship between a mail carrier and the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, had its world premiere last fall at L.A. Opera. "Florencia en el Amazonas," inspired by the writings of the Nobel Prize-winning Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, was co-commissioned by L.A. Opera and performed there in 1997, after premiering in Houston in 1996.
Reviewing "Il Postino" last September, Times music critic Mark Swed noted the "rich instrumental colors" of the work, which co-starred Placido Domingo, L.A. Opera's general director, as Neruda. "Domingo has never had a better role tailored for him," Swed wrote.
In a statement issued Monday, L.A. Opera Chairman Marc I. Stern expressed shock and grief at "this terrible loss."
Like Catán's other works, "Il Postino" deals with several themes central to the composer's creative outlook: the redemptive power of love and art, and the capacity for heroic action that ordinary people possess.
"The subject matter of this opera, like all my other operas, really, is the place that love and art hold in the context of our lives," Catán said in an interview with The Times last fall before the opening of "Il Postino." "Love and art are the vehicles to self-realization as a human being in the full sense of the word."
"Il Postino" also expressed Catán's gift for composing broadly accessible works that occasionally drew on folkloric and popular 20th-century musical styles, as well as the passionate theatricality of the late Romantic period.
"He was able to translate abstract musical concepts so that they would be brought down to very simple levels," said Bernardo Feldman, a former student of Catán's and chairman of the music department at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, where the composer taught for many years. "Every single piece of music that he wrote was beautifully crafted and profound, with a subtle sense of humor."
Born April 3, 1949, in Mexico City, Catán was descended from Russian-Turkish-Jewish immigrants and grew up in Mexico. He studied philosophy at the University of Sussex, England, and music at Princeton University with Milton Babbitt. Following his studies, he served from 1983 to 1989 as music administrator at Mexico City's Palace of Fine Arts.
Catán cited Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel, Alban Berg and Erich Wolfgang Korngold among those who had most influenced his music. His first opera, "La Hija de Rappaccini" ("Rappaccini's Daughter"), a 1991 symbolist work inspired by an Octavio Paz play based on a Nathaniel Hawthorne story, with a libretto by Juan Tovar, was performed in San Diego in 1994. The Spanish-language work was billed at that time as "the first fully professional production of an opera by a Mexican composer to be staged in the United States."
The success of that work led to the commissioning of "Florencia en el Amazonas," loosely based on Garcia Marquez's magical realist novel "Love in the Time of Cholera."
To mark its 50th anniversary, the Houston Grand Opera commissioned Catán's third opera, the darkly humorous "Salsipuedes, A Tale of Love, War and Anchovies." A reviewer in the Spanish newspaper El Pais commended Catán's works for "incarnating the image of the Spanish language sung in the United States, far above that of any other creator."
The composer, who later became a U.S. citizen, was pleased to have contributed works in his native language to the operatic repertoire. But he also believed that the time had come to recognize Spanish-language compositions as being part of the fabric of American culture.
"At what point," he asked The Times in an interview, "are we going to start thinking of these as enriching our culture, rather than being examples of some exotic other culture?" "Meet John Doe," about a down-on-his-luck former baseball player who gets cast in the invented role of a social crusader, was being written in English.
Catán said that when he first saw the movie "Il Postino" he had identified with the character of the young postman. But when he began working on his opera a few years ago, the by-then middle-aged composer found himself empathizing more with Neruda, "looking at a new generation that is going to come after me."
Catán is survived by his wife, Andrea Puente; three children, Chloe, Tom and Alan; and four grandchildren.

When I originally started to look for some Indian inspired furniture for our house, I was halfway over to Lahore before I found the koh-i-noor of a company that is Iris Furnishing. The fact that this is a UK based company which ships in from India had me enraptured, and then when visiting their site I almost exploded with wide eyed happiness. The White Metal Embossed Sideboard we purchased is magically constructed, a frequent point of discussion for any guests and is a beautiful enhancement to all rooms. The service we received from the chaps who ran the company was top class, and I only wished I was at home when they delivered, to thank them personally. Do yourself a favour and buy something from Iris, it would turn your house into a Mahal.

Sony product planners Taiji Fujihara and Naohiro Uriya know that your living room isn't just any room; it's your personal movie theatre, party venue, gaming centre and more. This concept is what inspired Sony's HT-NT5 wireless TV soundbar—a sound system that's able to fulfil all of your entertainment needs while taking up minimal space under your TV. This wireless soundbar's diverse set of features are perfect for all the different activities that go on in your living room, from movie nights to dance parties.
The HT-NT5 is also Sony's most versatile wireless TV soundbar yet. According to Sony's global user survey, Dads enjoy their speakers installed behind various listening points such as sofas, whereas Mums prefer them to be placed in more discrete locations. With the HT-NT5 TV soundbar's upgraded wireless surround sound technology, you have the option to add wireless rear speakers in your living room for a more immersive movie experience or you can move them to another room to listen to music. This flexible sound setup allows you to hear crisp, clear sound no matter where you are in your home.
Read on to get an inside look at the creation of the ultra-slim HT-NT5 wireless TV soundbar, learn about the challenges of keeping up with changing consumer demands and find out what industry-leading products Taiji Fujihara and Naohiro Uriya are planning to work on next.
Q: What are your roles as a product planners at Sony?
Fujihara: I'm in charge of the planning, specifications and concept design of soundbar products. My role is to identify the problems and challenges that our customers are experiencing and develop products that address them.
Uriya: Being a product planner means that I develop the network features that are incorporated into the products, specifically the wireless multi-room, wireless surround features and mobile apps.
Q: What is unique about the HT-NT5 wireless TV soundbar's technology?
Fujihara: First, we wanted to incorporate a new high-resolution video technology called 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) that is beginning to revolutionise living room entertainment. We're seeing an emerging demand for TV soundbars that support increasing high-resolution image content available in formats like Ultra HD Blu-ray that harness 4K HDR technology along with superior sound quality. With the HT-NT5 TV soundbar, we leveraged a technology called 4K pass-through, which sends 4K video input directly to a 4K television. This means that the HT-NT5 can deliver both the superior resolution of 4K HDR and uncompressed high-quality audio.
Q: How does the HT-NT5 TV soundbar serve the rising demand for wireless listening?
Fujihara: Customers want wireless surround sound systems. The soundbar market is growing because more and more customers want to be able to enjoy 2.1ch surround sound systems for a reasonable price. Many customers who have purchased soundbars decide to add rear speakers later on. With the HT-NT5 TV soundbar, you can connect two wireless speakers for a more realistic surround sound system.
Q: What challenges did you face when developing the HT-NT5 wireless TV soundbar?
Fujihara: As flat television screen sizes become even larger, low-height stand design is becoming the norm. Customers who own these large televisions need soundbars with even lower profiles. One of the toughest challenges was to develop a thin, low-profile form factor that wouldn't obstruct the screen or impede remote control receiver function. The second challenge was to develop technology that combines high-resolution picture with superior sound quality. We positioned a high-frequency super tweeter and a secondary tweeter on each side of the TV soundbar. Since the super tweeter is located on the front side and the secondary tweeter is located on the edge of the unit, sound is conveyed accurately to both ears regardless of whether the TV is located on a stand or is wall-mounted. Customers are impressed with the sound quality of the thinner TV soundbar. It has especially improved the audibility of the human voice in spoken movie dialogue.
Q: Any tips for customers who want to add on wireless speakers?
Uriya: Setting up wireless speakers couldn't be easier—you can do it from the TV setup screen. All you have to do is follow the instructions to select the wireless speakers you want to connect to your TV soundbar. Depending on your living room layout, you might not be able to position the left and right speakers symmetrically, but you can still get a realistic surround sound environment by inputting data such as the distance between the respective speakers and the TV soundbar.
The wireless surround feature is an extended version of the Wireless Multi-Room feature that we debuted in 2015. Wireless Multi-Room lets users enjoy the same music from multiple wireless speakers, such as the h.ear go, SRS-ZR7 and SRS-ZR5, which are set up in different locations and connected by a wireless network over the SongPal Link. With this setup, soundbar owners hosting a party in their home can stream the same music playing from speakers in the living room, the backyard and the kitchen for the enjoyment of all of their guests.
Q: Watching movies? Listening to music? What other activities can you enjoy with the HT-NT5 wireless TV soundbar?
Fujihara: A user's gaming experience can also be enhanced by the HT-NT5 TV soundbar. In fact, according to the users' survey conducted in the Japan market, more than half of the users surveyed connect their PlayStation® to Sony soundbar products, including the HT-NT5. That's no surprise given the game studio mode that Sony has jointly developed with Sony Interactive Entertainment PlayStation® sound engineers. This game studio mode provides users with the immersive sound that game creators want players to experience. Especially vital when playing a first-person shooter game, gamers will feel a sense of connection to the game world by hearing realistic sounds such as the footsteps of an enemy approaching when using this game studio mode in combination with the HT-NT5 TV soundbar.
Q: What products are you working on next?
Fujihara: I've been involved in soundbar product development for the past few years. 80 to 90 percent of the market has transitioned to soundbars because people want to avoid the complexity of wiring and configuring 5.1ch systems and problems like not being able to have rear speakers permanently installed in the living room. To address this and other market trends, I would like to continue conceiving and developing products that can transform lifestyles by addressing things customers want or find challenging.
Uriya: I've been working on the development of products that involve using network technology, like the HAP-Z1ES hard disk-equipped audio player and the SongPal mobile app. I've always strived to develop new features from the customer's perspective that make their lives more convenient. Moving forwards, my goal is to develop features that resolve issues that customers find too time-consuming or complicated to deal with.

Been A Long Time Coming
Dalton Cortner
Where Did The Time Go?
Well, hello there, stranger! It's been far too long since my last blog post! I tend to open every blog post with that, don't I? If you look back through all my blog posts, you'll find a whole bunch of stuff about writing projects and hints at books to come. We're going to get into all that, don't worry! First things first, THANK YOU for taking the time to read this blog post. You're at the best place to keep up-to-date with updates and news for my books. Next, if you're interested in
A Much Needed Update!
Wow, it has been FAR too long since my last update! My apologies! Those of you who follow me on Twitter (and shame on you who don't!) know that I've had quite the journey authoring my most recent book. It's been a process of self-discovery and realizing I had a lot more in me than I thought. I shot for 40,000 words, and at times, struggled to think I'd ever hit that mark. The novel ended at 61,794. More than half again what I shot for. Those who keep up with my blog know what an emotional
"The Athena Operation" Has Expanded To Smashwords!
For those of you following me on Twitter, you know I promised a major update earlier today and I'm here to deliver on that! Today I am proud to announce over the course of the last week I have transitioned from a purely KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) based account to other mediums. Don't worry—you can still buy and enjoy "The Athena Operation" on Amazon! But now you can get it on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo just to name a few. I'm doing this to both expand my reader base and give
3/4 Of The Way Done
I write this presently just over 30,000 words in my novel. If you've been following this blog (and major props if you have! Seriously, thank you!) you can kind of track my progress. It's pretty incredible to see how far I've come. I've had a whole whirlwind of other issues that I don't blog about, including work, medical issues, family trouble, and all sorts of other stuff that's slowed the progress of this book but I am proud to say, with an aim at 40,000 words I am firmly 3/4 of the way done.
An Update
First off, let me apologize. This blog post was supposed to come about a week ago but I came down with a cold or flu or something and was bed-ridden for the better part of a week save to go to work. However, I'm hoping that it'll have been worth the wait. As I'm about 21,000 words deep in my new novel, I can safely announce what it's about. Now, this is not a guarantee that the book will even survive the editing process or ever be produced/published anywhere, but as it stands, it's what I'm
What's In A Story?
I think examining what's within a story you write. and how the characters and plot are shaped can tell you a lot about yourself as a writer. Are you the type of person that tries to layer every single character, even the secondary ones? Do you think the focus should be on the protagonist and antagonist, and fleshing out the side characters detracts from them? What about planning—do you outline, or should you jump in and go for it? There's no real "right" answer here. I think it's important to
Major Update For The Athena Operation
Greetings, all! I have a major update. Those who have been following prior blog posts and my twitter have noticed I've been asking everyone to stay tuned for some information regarding The Athena Operation and its pricing. Today is that day! For anyone interested, I've lowered the pricing for The Athena Operation to just $0.99! This isn't permanent, but I want to give people the opportunity to experience my novel at the lowest price possible—and so we have it! Tell you friends, family, etc
New Site & New Update!

Thank you for bearing with me during these changes. But onto more important matters—welcome to the new blog! I've decided to launch my new blog with two pieces of news!

The Offense
Florida is experimenting with a fast-paced, uptempo offense. It is partially as a result of seeing Kevin Wilson's Oklahoma offense in the national title game and partially as a result of seeing Kevin Wilson's Northwestern offense in 2001.
I took a look at pace earlier this offseason, and I projected that the Gators would have scored about 55 a game last year if they played at Oklahoma's pace. Urban Meyer may or may not have seen a similar figure from his stats guys, but he seems most interested in the way that an uptempo offense disrupts defenses.
The other big difference is that Tim Tebow will be taking some snaps under center. Tebow says it's happening because it's the way Scot Loeffler is influencing the offense, while Meyer says it's happening to get Tebow more comfortable with it since he'll have to do that in the NFL. It's not that one is wrong and one is right, since the offense has always been a team effort under Meyer.
Many have pointed out that packages with the quarterback under center existed in Meyer's offense in 2005 and 2006 when Chris Leak was running the show. That is true, and the I-formation is also coming back if they can find a fullback.
Behind Tebow, redshirt sophomore QB John Brantley is looking sharp.
The question on everyone's mind comes down to this: who will replace Percy Harvin? Meyer said around national signing day that he sees incoming freshman Andre Debose in that role. So far, that appears likely because no one has stepped up to take control of that role so far. Deonte Thompson, Chris Rainey, and Jeff Demps are the other candidates for that position.
Carl Moore was the invisible man for a lot of last season, which was odd for someone touted as a five-star guy from junior college. He's been looking a lot better this year, now that
David Nelson and Aaron Hernandez have also looked good catching passes. Justin Williams has been practicing with the first team offense along with Thompson and Nelson. Riley Cooper is playing baseball and is not participating in spring football practice.
Personally, I'm thinking that the 2008 receiving corps is not going to be the best analogue for the 2009 corps in terms of fitting guys into roles. To me right now, 2006 seems like a better comparison given the personnel and likely ball distribution. Having Nelson as Dallas Baker, Thompson as Bubba Caldwell, Debose as Harvin, Moore as Jemaille Cornelius and so on feels a little more right. We'll see.
Running Backs and Offensive Line
With Rainey rehabbing from surgery and Demps running track, Emmanuel Moody is the only scholarship running back at practice. Fortunately, he's been playing very well so far though the defense has been stuffing him in goal line scenarios.
A probable cause for that is the fact that the offensive line has not been great. Partially that is because both Pouncey brothers are sidelined with injury right now, and the only other returning starter (Carl Johnson) is at a new position.
The younger guys who haven't played much haven't stepped up a whole lot. Things will get better when the Pounceys come back, but they alone won't solve all the problems. It took half the season for last year's line to gel, but hopefully this year's crew will work themselves out a little sooner.
The defense has been dominating so far, but Meyer says that's "usually" the case at this early stage of spring practice. It makes sense considering the offense is working through a lot of issues with new schemes and personnel while the defense is enjoying complete continuity.
The defense won the first scrimmage.
Defensive Line
Things are great at defensive end. They are so good and so deep that redshirt freshman Earl Okine has been moved to the inside.
With Torrey Davis kicked off the team and John Brown deciding to transfer, depth is again an issue at defensive tackle. Even the vaunted 2006 line needed Ray McDonald to move from the outside to the inside for depth.
As it turns out, things at tackle have been fine so far. Jaye Howard is bigger than ever and looking like a solid backup to starters Lawrence Marsh and Terron Sanders. Okine has been adjusting well so far. Omar Hunter, the guy Meyer called the Tim Tebow of the 2008 recruiting class, is finally in shape, healthy, and contributing.
Linebackers and Secondary
Brandon Spikes is happy to be back, and the Gators are happy to have him. He will be the unquestioned leader of what should be one of the top defenses in the country. This position is one of the best and deepest on the team, so it shouldn't be a problem. Spikes, Stamper, and Jones are the first teamers right now, while Doe, Lorenzo Edwards, and Lerentree McCray are the second teamers.
The secondary is very crowded, especially at safety. Starters Ahmad Black and Major Wright are back, and both are playing well. Fifth year senior Dorian Munroe, injured all of 2008, wants his starting role back. Will Hill has been making plays. Dee Finley is finally on campus, and he's looking athletic. It's crowded back there.
Not much has been reported about the corners, other than that Janoris Jenkins has been taking some reps as a punt returner thanks to Brandon James being out. Freshman Adrian Bushell intercepted Tebow as well, and that's about it.
I would expect that the position will be just fine with Joe Haden and Jenkins locking things down as the starters. The depth at secondary is something any other team in the country would be envious of.

The Medical Center's Preadmission Testing is an essential component of a patient's visit to the hospital for surgery or a procedure. During preadmission testing, the patient comes in 1 to 2 weeks prior to their procedure to speak with a nurse. The nurse obtains the patient's history, answers any questions the patient might have and provides teaching to prepare the patient for the upcoming procedure. The patient will speak with a representative from the Anesthesia Department and any lab work or x-rays that are needed will be otained at this time.

I tend to get my news from the internet, but there is something wonderful about a physical copy of the Weekend Guardian. In my defense, it lasts two of us (sometimes more) at least a week. The excessive piles of paper get used.
Today was a good Guardian day. I knew it would be before I even got my hands on a copy. There had been some animated post's on a few online communities this morning. Crafters were excited about the 90 page booklet linked to this book: make a doormat out of clothes pegs, turn an old roll-neck jumper into a hotwaterbottle cover! Academics have been delighting in reading the guilty pleasures of notable clever-cloggs: Steve Jones has a thing about estate agents, Elaine Showalter loves Trinny and Susannah!
I've got a horrid cold and had just a rubbish day yesterday. The short version is that I discovered it is going to be yet another week before my grant comes through - that's over a month waiting for my pay. So, feeling in need of some self-indulgence but also feeling pretty poor and full of the cold, I pulled on my new mittens* and went down to the shops in search of vitamin C and the newspaper.
Aside from the sections on craft and academic gossip, the true delight of today's paper was discovering that the balaclava has been big on the catwalks (see picture at top of post). A prediction I made here months ago. Though I should note that the article comes out in favour of the bobble hat.
So this (highly frustrated) academic is sitting hiding in her college hoodie, slowly burying herself in tissues, about to spend the afternoon with her own guilty pleasures. I have the pile of weekend newsprint to get through, a cheesy musical on the telly and my knitting. I'm making a voodoo doll to focus my grant-rage upon. Expect a pin-filled FO post sometime next week.
* Yes, new mittens. A secret FO hidden in my cold-addled rambling post. It's based on this pattern (which I found through Mettetations), though I made them more chequered than honeycomb. I used brown Opal Uni (two strands held together) with Noro silk garden for the MC, knit tightly on a 3mm circular. It was cold and I couldn't wait for the Anemoi's to be done so whipped them up on the bus to and from work this week.

Early SIG-Sauer P220 pistol in 9mm. It is same as Swiss service Pistole 75, and has a bottom magazine release

Recent production SIG-Sauer .45ACP P220 pistol with semi-custom "Equinox" finish and accessory rail
Early 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 pistol partially disassembled
The SIG-Sauer P220, often considered as the best "out of the box" .45 caliber double action pistol, started its life as the 9mm Pistole 75, the new double action sidearm for Swiss army. Developed during the early 1970s by the famous Swiss company Sweizerishe Industrie-Gesellschaft or SIG in short, this pistol was intended to replace the extremely accurate, but overly expensive SIG P210 pistol then in service with Swiss and some other armies. The pistol was indeed a very promising design, but strict Swiss laws severely limited the export of war materiel, so SIG decided to move the manufacture of its newest pistol abroad. For this reason SIG Holdings AG in 1976 acquired significant stocks of the J.P. Sauer & Son Company, which was located in Germany, and during the late 1970s started the manufacture of the SIG-Sauer P220 pistol in Germany. The P220, as with most of its later siblings, was an instant and continuous success. Adopted by the Swiss and Japanese armies, and by a large number of European police organizations, this pistol also rapidly found its way into the USA, first thorough the Browning Arms Company of Utah, and, since the mid-1980s, through the SIGARMS Company of New Hampshire. Initially made in four calibers, today the P220 is manufactured only in .45 ACP, as its 9mm version has been largely replaced by the SIG-Sauer P226, a pistol of similar size but with a larger magazine capacity. Today the P220 is made in a number of versions which include both "service" and "sporting" modifications, the latter often fitted with extended barrels, compensators and adjustable sights. Service versions may have the Picatinny rail for accessories, as well as double-action or double-action-only triggers. Since the 2006, the PP20 also offered with Single action triggers and also in "Carry" configuration with shortened barrel. The P220 also could be made with an aluminium frame and steel slide, or with both frame and slide made from stainless steel. It is worth nothing that a high-capacity version of the .45 caliber P220 was developed during the early 1990s for the US market. Apparently designated P221, this gun was effectively killed by the so-called "Assault weapons ban", the infamous legislation that limited the magazine capacity of civilian arms to 10 rounds, which was enforced in the USA between 1994 and 2004.
The SIG-Sauer P220 is short-recoil operated, locked-breech pistol. The locking is of modified Browning type, where the barrel engages the slide with single large lug entering the ejection window. The unlocking is controlled by a cam-shaped lug under the barrel, which interacts with the steel insert set into the aluminium frame. The slide is made from sheet steel by stamping and forming processes, with the separate breechblock pinned into the rear of the slide (machined slides are available on some current production .45 caliber models). The standard trigger is the double-action type, with an automatic firing pin block safety and a frame-mounted decocking lever. Double action only modifications do not have a decocker. Most recent SAO (Single action only) versions have ambidextrous non-decocking safeties located on the frame, which allow for "Cocked & Locked" carry. Magazines are single stack, with the magazine release located on the heel of the grip on early versions, or at the base of the trigger-guard on the .45 caliber versions made for the US market. The standard sights are fixed, with high contrast inserts, and the rear sight is dovetailed to the slide.
How to field- strip (disassemble) P220: 1) remove the magazine by pressing the magazine release button; 2) check that the chamber is empty; 3) pull the slide all the way back and lock it there with the slide stop; 4) rotate down the disassembly lever, which is located at the left side of the frame, above the trigger; 5) release the slide and carefully push it forward, and out of the frame; 6) remove the return spring assembly from below the barrel; 7) remove the barrel from the slide.Reassemble in reverse order.

Here are Some Product Reviews
5 out of 5
Today I broke that rule, slopped some on, waited two hours, jumped in the shower and washed off all the color guide as I felt too gross after a while, and thought I had washed the tanner away too. I didn't - I am left with a light gorgeous tan that looks just like I got it from the sun.7/3/2012

I probably will by again but may not use too regularly as I dread the horrific mess it makes, and if I can get a larger size in a pump I would prefer that as when you get to the end of the bottle it dispenses in bigger blobs, thus wasting product. Since the color and evenness, along with the price, are so good, I certainly recommend it and I am sure I'll use it again. 2/15/2012

Very natural looking tan. from Toronto, ON Verified Purchaser
The tan I got was very close to my natural color of a tan. Doesn't have the usual self-tanner scent - smells like almonds. I apply it every other day to maintain the color. Stains hands a lot even if you wash them immediately after and will stain your bedding as well (but washes away without a trace on white sheets). Palms of your hands return to normal color by the afternoon the next day. One bottle lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks with every other day application on a petite body. Review posted 6/16/2012.

Instant natural looking tan! from Streetsboro, OH Verified Purchaser
Finally! Results in ONE night, no orangey color, no stained clothes! I used this product 3 nights in a row and instantly had a great looking tan! AND it really made my skin feel great after washing it off the next day... like it added oil-free moisture! I tend to have problematic skin (redness, dry patches but also breakouts on my back) and so sunless tanners usually add to the problems but not this one. Review posted 12/24/2012.

Very Natural Tan from Evanston, IL Verified Purchaser
I've tried many 'high end' tanning products and this lotion produces by far the most natural tan. At first I was a bit shocked at how dark the lotion was, but in applying it, the color was a plus because it made it obvious when I was putting too much on one area of skin. I've never bothered to write a review before. This product more than deserves praise. I use it all the time now, even in winter for just a light bit of color. Review posted 11/12/2012.

The most 'natural-looking' tan I've ever had out of a bottle! LD from Montgomery, AL Verified Purchaser
'Sun' is a terrific self-tanning lotion. You need only to apply it every other day, using regular moisturizing lotion in between, to keep the nice brown tan. There are no orange hues to your skin. People actually have commented on my nice tan. I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for healthy color without the sun's harmful rays. Review posted 7/22/2012.

Supermodel Kloss takes swing at broadcasting
A fashion model, a Victoria's Secret Angel and a very serious cookie monster.
All three could accurately describe Karlie Kloss, a 6-foot-1 model who's easily identifiable, professionally speaking, by the first two. The third? Those are her words, believe it or not. She's a cookie monster. And a serious one at that.
A fashion model, a Victoria's Secret Angel and a very serious cookie monster.
All three could accurately describe Karlie Kloss, a 6-foot-1 model who's easily identifiable, professionally speaking, by the first two. The third? Those are her words, believe it or not. She's a cookie monster. And a serious one at that.
The little-known facts uncovered during Express Written Consent, sponsored by Klondike, are often the most delightful. Last week, we learned Michael Franti's appendix burst just before one of his songs hit the Top 20 for the first time in his singing career.
This week, we now know that while Kloss may have just turned 21, she's a pretty worldly gal who has channeled her passions into not only a very successful career, but a philanthropic one as well.
That's the fun of EWC, an exercise in broadcasting where nontraditional announcers -- i.e., celebrities -- try their hand at calling Major League games, or, in this case, jewel events.
Kloss explained the subplot to her life as a public figure (literally) during a spell in the Klondike suite on All-Star Monday in New York last month. While watching Bryce Harper take his hacks during the Home Run Derby, she chatted it up with MLB.com's Jeremy Brisiel and revealed her fascination with cookies and baking.
Last year, she started a project in collaboration with Momofuku Milk Bar in which she created a special gluten-free recipe called Karlie's Kookies, with proceeds benefiting hungry children around the world.
The sale of the cookies raised $200,000 for school lunches for kids who wouldn't normally get them.
"It's all of my passions rolled into one," she said. "Philanthropy, cookies and health and nutrition."
These days, Kloss is a big-city girl living the high life of a top model, but here's another little-known fact: she's from St. Louis and is a born-and-bred Cardinals fan. She grew up rooting for Mark McGwire but in her more formidable years shifted allegiances to Albert Pujols.
Her most memorable Cardinals moment occurred when she met a legend that trumps every other popular player who's been in St. Louis: Stan Musial.
Apparently, Kloss ran into Musial last year in the same manner a lot of common fans meet their sports idols -- in an area restaurant, where she was not there as a Victoria's Secret model but just as a local who happened to be getting food at the same time as a Hall of Famer.
"It's a small town," she said. "I got introduced, and I haven't washed the hand since I shook Stan The Man's hand."
This story emerged when Kloss was playing "Start, Bench, Cut," during which J.B. threw out three names and she had to put them in categories in order of importance.
This one was easy -- start Musial, bench Ozzie Smith and cut Pujols. "Albert, you left me," Kloss said. "I still love you, but I'm cutting you."
The exercise wasn't so easy when the options were Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. Too much risk of backlash and all.
"See, that's rude," Kloss said, contemplating her order. "All of them are going to be watching this. That's just too political."
Pressing on, she decided to start Bundchen because "I am her biggest fan."
Kloss opted to bench Klum, which left Banks to be cut. "Tyra is a good friend," Kloss said, "so I can cut her, and we'd still be OK."
Toward the end of her EWC session, Kloss, unprompted, asked for a Klondike. Then, turning to J.B., she asked, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?"
"I would finish this segment," J.B. joked. "I would finish it in a heartbeat."
MLB.com will be unveiling more original broadcasts over the next several weeks. Among the new crop: John C. McGinley, the Madden Brothers (Benji and Joel), Kevin Pollak and Robert Horry.
So bookmark EWC to see which storyteller's story is the most fun and whose future in the booth is brightest.

On 17 February, Japan will inaugurate a large international airport – Centrair – which shows extensive consideration for the environment.
Minimum emission and high performance are environmental ideals of the airport's energy centre, which has therefore been equipped with Grundfos pumps. The energy centre controls the temperature in the airport buildings with steam and cold and hot water, and its natural gas based combined heat and power plant supplies electricity to the buildings.
The airport is one of many examples that district heating and cooling is becoming increasingly popular in Japan. And Grundfos' extensive experience in the field contributes to the fact that the plants often choose to install CR pumps.

Baby G's Skyline Nursery
Name: Newborn Baby Boy
Location: Chicago, Illinois (South Loop)
When I started planning out Baby G's nursery, I knew I wanted something modern, clean, and original. The first part to come together was the crib and dresser because I loved the clean, modern look of the furniture. Seriously, who knew there were 7,000 different types of cribs to choose from?
Still without a "theme" of sorts, I went in search of bedding to give me some ideas. When I found the skyline set, I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for. The rest came together rather easily. I had the 10 foot Chicago skyline custom made to fit the wall, and that serves as the focal point when someone enters the room. I then picked a couple of accent colors to work with the grey and immediately found the "Golden Slumbers" lyrics to hang on the wall. Side note: It's funny, but I've known since I was very young that those lyrics would one day hang on the wall of my baby's nursery. It has been my all-time favorite song since I was a little girl and I love that they are the focal point of the other wall.
The rest was just a matter of searching Etsy/Pinterest/Interwebs for cute ideas. I am particularly fond of the airplanes, which are actually wall hooks, because in person it looks very 3D. My final DIY project for Baby G's nursery was operation table lamp. For months I pondered buying this gorgeous Jonathan Adler Giraffe Lamp. It certainly doesn't help the cause that my mother-in-law lives directly above the Jonathan Adler store; I couldn't seem to escape it. In the end, I could not justify spending $395 on a lamp that would almost certainly be accidentally knocked over somehow, at some point.
What I loved most about the Jonathan Adler lamp was A) it was white and B) the cute giraffe head sticking out the top. So I decided to try my super internet searching skills to find something similar. I came up empty for quite some time, and the only lamp that in anyway resembled the Jonathan Adler lamp was the Sammy Giraffalove Table Lamp, but unfortunately I hated the paint job.
I thought it was a lost cause, but after a little contemplating, I decided I was going to go for the more reasonably priced lamp and simply paint it a bright, glossy white myself.The only things left to do are to hang the mobile from the ceiling (I don't like it on the crib) and paint the wooden "C" initial a light grey.
I've never been one for interior decorating, and I didn't think I'd enjoy putting together something like a nursery as much as I did. But I must say I'm quite proud of the finished product.

WASHINGTON – Airlines reported no tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights and one tarmac delay of more than four hours on an international flight in June, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report released today. All U.S. and foreign airlines operating at least one aircraft with 30 or more passenger seats must report lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports. The reported tarmac delay is under investigation by the Department.
In addition, the 14 airlines that file their on-time performance data with the Department reported that 71.8 percent of their flights arrived on time in June, down from both the 71.9 percent on-time rate in June 2013 and the 76.9 percent mark in May 2014.
The consumer report also includes data on cancellations, chronically delayed flights, and the causes of flight delays filed with the Department's EmEdjimurjE (BTS) by the reporting carriers. In addition, the consumer report contains information on airline bumping, mishandled baggage reports filed by consumers with the carriers, and consumer service, disability, and discrimination complaints received by DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division. The consumer report also includes reports of incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets traveling by air, as required to be filed by U.S. carriers.
The reporting carriers canceled 2.0 percent of their scheduled domestic flights in June, up from the 1.8 percent cancellation rate posted in June 2013 and 1.9 percent in May 2014.
Chronically Delayed Flights
At the end of June, there were no regularly scheduled flights that were chronically delayed – more than 30 minutes late more than 50 percent of the time – for four consecutive months. There were 10 regularly scheduled flights that were chronically delayed for three consecutive months and an additional 92 regularly scheduled flights that were chronically delayed for two consecutive months. A list of flights that were chronically delayed for a single month is available from .
Causes of Flight Delays
In June, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 7.39 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 6.04 percent in May; 10.43 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 8.18 percent in May; 7.06 percent by factors within the airline's control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 6.04 percent in May; 0.90 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.57 percent in May; and 0.03 percent for security reasons, compared to 0.03 percent in May.
Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
Data collected by BTS also shows the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, including those reported in either the category of extreme weather or included in National Aviation System delays. In June, 37.05 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, up from 33.49 in May and down from 41.80 percent in June 2013.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available on the BTS site on the World Wide Web at http://emedjimurje.info.
Mishandled Baggage
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.79 reports per 1,000 passengers in June, down from June 2013's rate of 3.81, but up from May 2014's rate of 3.34. For the first six months of the year, the carriers posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.86 per 1,000 passengers, up from the 3.22 rate for the first half of 2013.
The report also includes reports of involuntary denied boarding, or bumping, for the second quarter and first six months of this year. The 14 U.S. carriers who report denied boarding data posted a bumping rate of 1.07 per 10,000 passengers for the quarter, up from the 0.97 rate for the second quarter of 2013, but down from the 1.40 rate for the first quarter of 2014. For the first six months of this year, the carriers had a bumping rate of 1.23 per 10,000 passengers, up from the rate of 1.01 posted during the first six months of 2013.
Incidents Involving Pets
In June, carriers reported 11 incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets while traveling by air, up from both the one report filed in June 2013 and the one report filed in May 2014. June's incidents involved the death of three pets and the injury of eight.
Complaints About Airline Service
In June, the Department received 1,396 complaints about airline service from consumers, up 14 percent from the 1,228 complaints filed in June 2013, and 9 percent from the 1,280 received in May 2014. For the first six months of this year, passengers filed 7,939 complaints, up 22 percent from the total of 6,512 received during January-June 2013.
Complaints About Treatment of Disabled Passengers
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in June against airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 85 disability-related complaints in June, up from both the total of 55 complaints filed in June 2013 and the 64 complaints received in May 2014. For the first six months of the year, the Department received 395 disability-related complaints, up 28 percent from the 308 filed during January-June 2013.
Complaints About Discrimination
In June, the Department received five complaints alleging discrimination by airlines due to factors other than disability – such as race, religion, national origin, or sex – down from the total of six recorded in June 2013, and equal to the total of five recorded in May 2013. For the first six months of this year, the Department received 32 discrimination complaints, down from the 36 recorded in January-June 2013.
Consumers may file their complaints in writing with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, C-75, W96-432, 3333 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 11111; by voice mail at (202) 366-2220 or by TTY at (202) 366-0511; or on the web at .
Consumers who want on-time performance data for specific flights should call their airline's reservation number or their travel agent. This information is available on the computerized reservation systems used by these agents. The information is also available on the appropriate carrier's website.
The Air Travel Consumer Report can be found on DOT's World Wide Web site at . It is available in �" and Microsoft Word format.

The game of "Would You Rather" that Carter, McKay, and Keller play while trapped in "Trio" goes a little farther. Instead of just asking about celebrities, they start asking about other members of the Atlantis expedition or the SGC. (Also, you could decide to change which characters got stuck down there) What secret feelings are revealed? Does Keller admit she has feelings for Ronon (or McKay)? Is Rodney carrying a torch for Sheppard? What's actually going on with Carter and O'Neill? What else can you come up with? Any pairing you like, although there was definately a hint of McKay slashiness in the show, and that would be interesting.
I'd to like read a funny story about Radek's still. (You know he has one!) Could be from the still's POV or author omniscient. Slash OR gen, BUT you can have Radek/Elizabeth if you include McShep. NO JS/EW, please!

There is a lot of bdsm fics out there and reguardless of the pairing their dynamics usually turn out to be a perfect match. But what if they where not such a great match? If two doms attract/fall in love...or a dom and a switch etc. Then what happens? It might work for a while but eventually there will be needs that simply aren't met. What happens then? That is the fic I'd like to read. When things aren't a perfect match. How do they solve that? Slash story, bdsm.

Suzy's Portable Home Entertainment System
Suzy owns one of those gorgeous homes up in the Hollywood Hills of California. Besides having the standard TV setup with speakers in the family room, she also has a smaller, portable TV setup in the living room. Here's a closer look at her portable entertainment system, which is used mainly for karaoke and entertaining guests.
As a complement to her bar cart that holds bottles of liquor and an ice bucket, Suzy has a matching entertainment cart with wheels that holds a karaoke machine and microphone, with a Sony Bravia TV perched on top. Suzy's CD stand is a functional piece of decoration. Besides adding some personality to the room, it also holds all her karaoke CDs.
We like Suzy's setup because it is compact, taking up minimal space in her living room, and is portable at the same time.
