Journals: The Tweaks We ALL WantWell, that didn't entirely go as planned. There are a few issues with the Journal implementation, but there aren't any issues we can't easily fix. And we got so much great feedback, that we now clearly understand some things we didn't before. The best part is, we're going to get the best of both worlds for Journals. All of the benefits of the deviation system for Journals, with all of the resolutions that were vocalized as concerns.Monday of next week, we're going to release the following changes so that everyone can SMILE! When you go to publish a Journal, you'll be able to Submit your Journal to your Profile just as you did before the changes. The Journal will go out to your +Watch list, display on your Journal tab and on your Profile Page (if applicable.) There wouldn't be a +Favorite button unless you Submit to The deviantART Journal.That's right! You'll also be able to publish to
Close to Announcing Great ResolutionObviously we don't intend to leave you hanging!Due to halloween some pretty key folks are trick or treating with their kids and stuff this evening so I couldn't publish a really terrific resolution to the Journal issues we've been having until tomorrow. Family comes first folks! I can say the following with confidence: Everything everyone wants, with the added benefits that come with the deviations platform will be released very soon.In the meantime, enjoy the really crazy journals showing up in the footer.Oh, btw, because of the new Journal portal we learned we were having a bit of a spam issue, with a few bots posting to the network mostly to spike their google pagerank. Which is silly because we've set the pages to be ignored by the google spiders... so what these spammers are doing is all for nothing. But we'll root them out within a couple of days as well and ultimately really clean deviantART up. For the record.... the community is using Journals at a much higher r

Incredible SOPA ResponseI've been watching the SOPA response on deviantART all day, and needless to say the level of discussion being had about it is at an all new level from what I've ever seen around here the past decade or so. When you guys rally, it's quite a sight. And I do mean a sight... These are screenshots just taken from the front page of dA. And with every reload of our NEWEST submissions...... there is a seemingly endless stream of these DEVIATION CENSORED deviations, just about all of them opposing SOPA and PIPA. It's always mesmerizing to watch our community in action, especi
Regarding SOPA and deviantART (update)Our view at deviantART regarding SOPA is that it's probably a bad idea. There should be better ways to deal with mass infringement on the Internet than this. This bill in our view can be seen as a threat to the open Internet itself and this is very hard to digest or support. I personally have found information at the EFF and at Public Knowledge to be very helpful in understanding what is at stake.JOIN THE DISCUSSION AT WWW.DEVIANTART.COM/SOPA UPDATE: Thanks for the link, Google.
BOSS Week.I love weeks like this. The team is incredibly hard at work launching deviantART's Premium Content Platform, and simultaneously managing our huge sponsorship of Comic-Con 2012 in San Diego.^That's me in the middle there, writing this Journal.^ Check out the intensity of endosage, danlev, hellokirti, Heidi,and Ayame-Kenoshi. Diligent, even intense. That's because they're hours away from a massive release that will reach millions of deviants worldwide. They are right to be this tense. You would be, too.In everything we do, we aim to change the world for the better. And we aim high. This Premium Content Platform you can read about here has no limits as to what it could achieve for the arts, from my perspectiv
SNEAK PEEK: deviantART's NEW Today Page!As I noted in my last journal, there are some big -- and exciting!! -- changes on the way for deviantART. Er, DeviantArt. The team here at DeviantArt continues to listen to your feedback plus we met with a crew of super-deviants in NYC last month (check out a pic below and got a full, insightful download. Then, we thought long and hard on how to pave a kindred and inspiring direction. As always, you are the center of it all -- and how to connect you with your community. Ok, getting into it, I want to share a sneak peek on work-in-progress (as in not final!) designs for the new Today page and to hear what everybody thinks.Fella Version Llama Version
Communities rely on Pillars made of HeartCommunities of all kinds are held up by pillars made of heart. Typically embodied by people who let the weight of their community rest on their shoulders, willing to let life be life. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it's comfortable. Regardless, the result is a halo that surrounds all participants in a community. The healing light of being mothered, fathered or cared for.These are very special people who take this role in your community. Maybe this person is you. In which case, please be you today, and every day. Because you are very important.For the rest of us, we all know who the pillars are that hold up the communities that we care about. We all know the value of what they do, especially when we stop to think about it.There is nothing in life that I have ever found a deeper admiration for than people who take on this role. Pillars of Community. When a human being digs their heels in, claims territory and begins to show Love towards a group of people, they begin to embody

Our Favorite Memories and Moments TweetAs part of our week long celebration of appreciation and love for our community, I had the pleasure of interviewing some of our Staff to find out what their favourite moments and memories of the community are, their favourite deviations and what they like best about the wonderful deviantART community. Favorites Memories Favorites Deviations What We Love About dA Angelo, Co-Founder and CEOI can't pick just one, because I love dearly so many moments in the history of deviantART. But as I read the question, the first one that came to my mind was eating Vegemite for the first time with Justin Maller (+ekud) wh
DA Lit : Who We AreI am proud to be exclusively a literature artist. I really don't know how to do anything else. Here on DA, Literature is not necessarily under appreciated by most of the people in the community, it is just widely ignored. I think, really, many of us are completely okay with that. For the most part, we aren't here for popularity. We are here for each other. We don't have thousands of followers. We don't have millions of faves. But for the most part, we have been able to find other artists that help us to refine our art. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I truly cannot express the appreciation and love that I have for my friends who consistently critique my work. One monstroooo, ChibiDomo, or any other of my adamant critique-rs is worth a thousand faceless, nameless followers. We are a community of our own. There are many groups here on DA that inspire writ
Give Thanks... deviantART. Friends. Features.Edit: Share with your friends on Twitter as well! https://twitter.com/#!/ZevImages/status/139572960288714752I know that many deviants have had a rough past year. I know I have. For some, it was the economy, for some changes in their families and loved ones, and I know for some it has even been on deviantART. We have all had struggles, but this time of year, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, is as good a time as any to thank people for what we DO have. In this world of little, we all have something we hold dear to our hearts. Now is the time to say thanks. So, what I would like to invite everyone to do is in the next 48 hours (Today + Thanksgiving), fave this journal to show your support, then comment with 4 things you are thankful for:1 thing on deviantART you are thankful for1 thing with your family, loved ones, friends, etc. you are thankful for 1 thing in your life you are thankful for1 piece of art you, or a fellow deviant created that you are th
What is considered copyright infringement?Due to the growing concern...I have had a lot of people ask me what is considered piracy and what isn't. Things to consider is the Millenium Copy Right act and fair use laws. Funny enough a while back I would have liked a law like SOPA because it would hold a site liable for letting its users plagiarize my artwork. E.g a while back a group on Facebook took my work and refused to credit me, I contacted Facebook and they said they would remove the work, then the admins of the page said they would change it to a private setting so I couldn't access the site and see if my work was still being used without my permission. SOPA would have been useful but now I see that with such power as to hold an entire site liable for a bunch of users actions is dangerous because it can be abused. Also how would you feel if someone like me closed down a huge public web site because a few where taking something of mine? I have learned not to care when my stuff is uploaded elsewhere and shared. I don't mind
PE: Literature Critique TipsAs part of Project Educate Critique week, the Community Volunteers would like to share more art specific elements to consider whilst giving good critique.Today we are looking at the Literature gallery, with our Top Tips. Before you start READ the piece all the way through. Read it again, making notes of what you would like to point out in your critique. Stay Objective- you are critiquing the piece not the person. The Tips!These tips are areas which aren't just necessary in critiquing others' work, but also when self-critiquing your own writing. This is one person's suggestions and I welcome any further tips in addition. A good opening. The opening to any form of writing doesn't necessarily need to involve a physical explosion, but it needs to have an initial hook; something to entice the reader in. It needs to be clear, something that
Vigilante Oriented GroupsWhen the deviantART Groups system launched in beta nearly two years ago we fully expected it to become home to a large variety of Groups centered around every subject possible and that is exactly what has happened and we are really encouraged to see so many embracing the Groups concept and coming together around these common topics to share their thoughts and works.Today we'd like to discuss a certain type of Group which often comes to our attention, and not always in a good way; the "vigilante" style Group.For those who may not be familiar with these types of Groups, what we call a "vigilante" Group are those which are created and centered around gathering deviants together to encourage the reporting of rule breakers and members who may be in violation of one or more official policies.While gathering together in order to promote following the rules is not a bad thing there are good and bad ways for these types of Groups to operate; We always appre

UPDATES CONT. - Warm Winter Project: 2012UPDATE 9 - As of Sunday, November 25, 2012, I WAS ABLE TO MEET AND PURCHASE MY DONATION GOAL OF 50 HOODIES thanks to deviantART's 30% off Black Friday sale as well as my 10% Premium Member Discount. Congratulations to us and thank you to everyone who helped out!UPDATE 8 - As of Saturday, November 17, 2012, we are at 125,125 points, with only 34,875 points left to go! I was able to purchase 2,000 points a moment ago to put directly into the pool myself. My original intent was to get 8,000, but I ended up working less than I expected this week and was unable to, but as of my next paycheck (in two weeks), I will be able to purchase 8,000! That will leave us with 26,875. And after TimberClipse's AWESOME point doubler, like the one that helped out and did so amazingly earlier in the year, that will be another 8,000, leaving us with only 18,875! And his doubler is already halfway full with much thanks to rainylake for immediately putting 2,000 points in
Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEWOver the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways. The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community.

Maybe they might build another baseball stadium for the White Sox somewhere near the United Center.
Hasn't JR's son expressed interest in keeping the Bulls, though? I could have sworn someone posted a piece written on his son that essentially stated he wasn't interested in keeping the family holdings in the Sox but was interested in remaining owner of the Bulls. So who knows?
At any rate, I wouldn't hold my breath for a new baseball stadium by the United Center. If they're going to build a new stadium, I would assume it would be downtown, there's no way you could acquire enough land east of the UC any more, way too valuable, and I'm not sure what point it would serve to move the Sox from Bridgeport, a relatively unpopular neighborhood with a seedy reputation and move them west of the UC.

Health Minister K.C. Veeramani visited the Tuticorin Medical College Hospital on Thursday and enquired the patients on the quality of treatment they were receiving at the hospital.
The minister, who was on his way to Kanyakumari, visited the casualty ward and interacted with the patients undergoing treatment under the Chief Minister's Health Insurance Scheme.
During an interaction with the reporters, Mr. Veeramani said the State government had allocated Rs. 6,576 crore for health schemes and projects in the last budget while it was only Rs. 3,888 crore during the previous Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime.
The government hospitals across Tamil Nadu had received Rs. 248 crore under the Chief Minister's Health Insurance Scheme for having given treatment to the patients under this programme. Subsequently, this fund was being utilised to strengthen the infrastructure facilities in the government hospitals, he informed.
Resident Medical Officer, TMCH, Silas Jebamani, and Superintendent Rajendra Rathinam accompanied him.

Now I dont know about unarmed man being killed, but its quite well accepeted/proved fact that terroists are holing themsleves up in mosques and using them as storage deport's. But ya.. its sad someone innocent was hit cause people mis using places of worship.
....Place where god is? why would a god want to be in this hell(world) which is full of dingbats and murderers? I know i would want to be far away as possible.
Dont worry, they have already, muslim insurgants bomb busses with kids on it, any place with lotsa people in it, is the kinda thing they always aim for and they wouldnt have a second thought about it. Just look what thye did in mosco. Need i say more?What if the insurgents killed wounded Americans in a church?
How do you think we would react?
Only people i feel sorry for in middle east, are those in isreal who have to deal with muslims blowing themselves like smarties wiht aim to kill many people as possible- kids,mothers,babys etc. Now my hands or atleast mind shake when i hear bout daily updates of muslims bombing inncoent people :/

The Ease of a Point-&-Shoot in a DSLR Body
A few years back, Nikon introduced the D40—its first compact DSLR. It was received with critical acclaim as an excellent entry-level camera for consumers seeking a trauma-free transition from the limitations of point-and-shoot digital cameras. Over time, the D40 was supplanted by the D40x, which was followed by the D60. Each of these cameras was an improvement over its respective predecessor in terms of pixel count, performance and imaging features.
The D3000 is Nikon's entry-level DSLR, and like its forbears, it delivers a lot of bang for the buck and makes for an easy transition vehicle for point-and-shooters looking to step up to a full-size camera, interchangeable lenses, advanced pro-like features and all.
The D3000 is designed to be an easy-to-use transitional camera that can be operated in a variety of modes from downright simple to fully manual. The menus incorporate large icons and easy-to-decipher symbols and numbers. A new Guide mode all but holds your hand as you take pictures. By setting the top command dial to Guide mode, the camera's 3-inch (230,000-dot) LCD brings up Shooting, Viewing & Deleting, and Set-up menus that offer you choices of basic or advanced options for a variety of modes, along with clear explanations of each function.
At any point you can activate the Help button located on the rear lower-left corner of the camera body, which offers a simple but detailed explanation of whatever mode in which the camera is currently set.
This doesn't mean the D3000 isn't a serious shooting machine—it also features many of the same shooting modes found on Nikon's pro DSLRs. The difference is that the D3000 offers you (and anybody else using your camera) the choice to shoot in whatever mode is most comfortable or understandable.
The D3000 is wrapped around a 10.2 DX (APS-C) format CCD imaging sensor, which captures images in the form of three levels of JPEG compression, NEF (RAW), or a combination of the two. A Nikon EXPEED image processor digests captured data and quickly turns it into sharp image files containing faithful color and smooth tonal transitions.
An 11-point autofocus system works in conjunction with a 420-pixel RGB Scene Recognition System to ensure sharp imagery, while Nikon's D-Lighting feature ensures detail in shadows, highlights and mid-tones alike. To help keep post-capture retouching to a minimum, the D3000 also contains an Integrated Dust Reduction System that uses sonic vibrations that shake loose dust particles each time you power up and down, along with a special Airflow Control System that redirects dust away from the sensor's low-pass filter.
For opening up the shadows on faces in bright overhead lighting conditions or darker environments, the D3000 features a handy i-TTL pop-up flash, and there's also a hot shoe for times you want to use any of Nikon's more powerful (and versatile) SB-series Speedlights.
The Nikon D3000 comes bundled with an image-stabilized AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens (27–82.5mm equivalent) as well as a 2-lens kit containing the 18–55mm along with a longer 55–200mm f/4-5.6 ED AF-S DX Nikkor zoom lens (82.5–300mm equivalent).
The Nikon D3000 can also be used with Nikon AF-S as well as AF-I optics, and with limited use (not all auto functions will be possible), earlier Nikkor optics (check the manual or Nikon's website for further details).

Clay Aiken Reportedly Wants to Run for Congress
'American Idol' star and charity beacon wants to rep North Carolina, sources say
Clay Aiken is "actively considering" running for office in 2014. According to The Washington Blade, the American Idol favorite is looking at North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District, eying the historically Democratic seat currently held by Republican representative Renee Ellmers. Of course, we already know the man can get votes — he was a close runner-up in Idol's second season in 2003. As long a Ruben Studdard doesn't enter the race, he may have a shot at this thing.
Aiken, 35, is a Raleigh native, a father to a five-year-old son, a many-times-platinum singer, a tireless advocate for many charities, and — not for nothing — an openly gay Southern Baptist. In 2006, George W. Bush appointed him to the Presidential Committee for People With Intellectual Disabilities. He's also traveled to Afghanistan, Africa, and Mexico as a UNICEF National Ambassador. Aiken has worked with the Make a Wish Foundation and Broadway Cares amongst others.
The paper only cites anonymous sources regarding the entertainer's potential career in politics, but says he's been making calls to gauge support, consulting with campaign committees, political strategists, and pollsters about his chances in the fall. And like 2 Chainz before him, he also appeared on Law & Order: SVU in October, which is certainly a right of passage of sorts.

Q&A with Jonah Berger (and a chance to win a copy of his new book Contagious!)
In February, Wharton Marketing Professor Dr. Jonah Berger joined Brains on Fire for the 2013 F.I.R.E. Session.
Along with advance copies of his new book Contagious, Jonah shared his insights on what makes things go viral. If you've ever wondered why some things catch on, this was the presentation to demystify the mystery. Jonah's talk was packed with interesting tidbits, including insights on "triggers," the things that are linked in our mind. Just like "peanut butter is a mini-advertisement for jelly" and it's hard to think "rum" without "coke," triggers play a role in marketing, too. (If you've ever found yourself tempted to Facebook Rebecca Black's "Friday" on a Friday, thank triggers!) Another key point from the talk focused on the role emotion plays in sharing. Different emotions influence how and when we share something. Sadness inspires less sharing, while anger and outrage inspire people to share by harnessing their desire to take action in the heat of the moment. Last but not least, Jonah explored storytelling. His advice was pretty simple: sneak your message into a story. (Great example: Dumb Ways to Die.)" [Read the full F.I.R.E. Session recap here.]
Contagious has received rave reviews from bookworms and inquiring minds around The Firesphere. I had firsthand experience with the concept of "contagiousness" during a recent trip to Ohio. The book's bright orange cover prompted at least six strangers to stop me in the airport (one even snapped a photo!) and inquire about what I was reading.
Last week Robbin sat down with Jonah last week to ask him a few questions…
Robbin Phillips: In Contagious, you talk about the six ingredients that cause things to be talked about or shared: Social Currency, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical Value and Stories (the STEPPS). Which of the STEPPS fascinates you the most? If you weren't a professor, and you could choose to be leading expert in one of the STEPPS, which would you choose?
Jonah Berger: Social Currency often has the most fun examples. Hidden bars, secret menus or $100 cheesesteaks. It's also one of the most fundamental human motives. While it's hard to see it in ourselves, it's easy to see in others. People care about what others think about them. We want to look smart rather than dumb, cool rather than behind the times. And we talk about things that make us look that way. Being an expert in how to look cool to others would definitely be a fun job.
RP: What do you love most about your work and why?
JB: Getting the chance to put science to things I see in the world around me. People often wonder why a certain product became popular, why a particular baby name caught on, or why certain things go viral. My job is to study that; to try and understand the inner workings of the human mind. It's like peering into the brain with a magnifying glass. It's an awesome job!
RP: What or who inspires you and why?
JB: Passionate people. I'm always inspired by people who love what they do, working towards something they believe in and putting their all into it.
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO SCROLL: Hello, reader. You made it to the end of the blog post. As a reward, you now have a chance to win a copy of Contagious for your bookshelf. Leave a comment below sharing a story about the last time a brand made YOU feel really good.
On Friday we'll announce five lucky winners selected to receive a free copy of Jonah's book.

I have to say Pinterest has changed my life. It has transformed meals at my house. I've tried lots of other websites and books but nothing clicked until Pinterest. It is my #1 go-to place for meal planning and lots of other things. I am working to get a Pinterest account started at my job. I would definitely be an ambassador for Pinterest if they asked me to.
My current favorite is Stella Artois beer. Their commercials piqued my interest to the point where I joined http://lasociete.stellaartois.com/ for exculsive perks and invites. The thing is… I'm not even a beer drinker, I just love how they connect with people online!
I ate with a group of family and friends recently at a Buca di Beppo. The one thing everyone in our party agreed we wanted was lasagne. After the server took our order, the manager came to the table and explained they were out of lasagne and it would be more than an hour before they had more. He offered a substitue dish, and we decided to try it. But we didn't like it. Determined to make us happy, he brought some chicken parmigiana. Plus he brought us tiramisu and a Colossal Brownie Sundae for dessert. In the end, he comped our bill for the lasagne, the replacement dish, the chicken parm and the desserts. This guy definitely went out of his way. But he ensured that I can still say I have never had a bad experience at a Buca di Beppo.

Air Canada.
I was boarding a flight to Dubrovnik 2 years ago and left my credit card at home….I realized this as I walked through security at the airport… I frantically called my wife, who immediately called me dumb and then raced home to get the card in an attempt to get it back to me before the flight took off.
I then went to the check in counter to beg for mercy that they would delay the international flight on my behalf. They said "maybe" as long as the weather is in my favor.
Suddenly a lightening storm came rolling through Tampa and the flight was delayed….15 minutes.
Air Canada also told me they would have one of their people meet my wife outside the airport when she arrived to get the card.
My wife came pulling up minutes before the flight was supposed to take off, I had her on my phone, Air Canada had a guy on a radio telling him what car she was driving so he could RUN OUT IN THE RAIN AND GET THE CARD.
My wife cracked her window, he ran up, grabbed the card and then SPRINTED to my gate.
Moments later I saw a soaking wet Air Canada employee running down the terminal holding my credit card above his head. I'm a man, but I literally almost started crying (I can be emotional as you know).
Out of breath, he handed me the card and said simply "here you go".
I thanked him 1,000 times and then went running on the plane.
Air Canada people. Air Canada.

I believe Starbucks is the best example of a brand who continually makes me feel important. It is amazing what happens when you empower your employees through education, inclusion and allow them to become ambassadors/decision-makers. The baristas know my name, know my drink, where I work and the conversations feel genuine.
Starbucks – Every morning I walk in, I'm greeted by name and before I even get to the register to order, my favorite barista prepares my drink so that by the time I get rung out, it's ready. It is a fabulous way to start the morning
A couple people already mentioned Starbucks and their customer service, but I'd like to throw out a different example with Starbuck. Their holiday cups. I've noticed over the past couple years a general excite that brews once Starbucks starts using their holiday cups. You'll hear people talking about it "Starbucks has started using their holiday cups". That means the holiday flavors are also now being served. It's become a sign that Christmas is getting closer. There's a warm cozy feel that goes along with that people share with each other. People get disgusted when the holiday decorations go up too soon in the malls, or radio stations start playing Christmas carols too early, but Starbucks holiday cups are something that people look forward to. I've even noticed that anticipation for the cups even starts to build around the time the Pumpkin Lattes become available.
I purchased a new DVD player. It was a lesser known company but I like giving those folks my business. Took it home and set it up and all my movies were showing in black and white. Now I like black and white but not all the time. I then put batteries in the remote and that did not work either. I changed the batteries twice with spanking brand new batteries and got nadda.
There was a sheet in the box that said, "If you have problems with this DVD player please contact us before you return it to the store." Fair enough. So I wrote a lovely e-mail expaining my issues and sent it off.
Five days later with still no response I packed up the little machine and it's nonfunctioning remote and returned it to the store. They asked me at the store if I wanted to try another DVD player from the same company…I said, "No thank you."
I went to another store and saw a SONY DVD player and bought it. Went home…set it up and was watching "Winter Bones" in living color in less than 5 minutes with a smile on my face. (Not because the movie is so joyful but because the issue was not my lack of technical skills…it was with the player.) Might I add that the remote helped me skip all those previews which I had watched already in black and white.
I doubt I would stray from SONY again no matter what the price. It's a company that delivers for me and that's what I expect. I am happy as a clam with my new SONY DVD player and my movies are as colorful as they should be. -
As a marketing visionary, I always am looking for why your business is different and how are you going to stick out. I love "triggers" and try to find those in my client & their business.
Feeling good about a brand:
Warby Parker @WarbyParker. I have ordered eyeglasses from them since they started business in 2010–I love their style and their "buy one, give one" philanthropy program. Anyway, I stepped on my latest pair of glasses, crushing them. I emailed Warby Parker to see if I could get them repaired. Within hours, I received an email response, noting that I had been a loyal customer since they opened shop and offering to expedite a replacement pair for free (which came within the week). I truly felt my consumer loyalty was appreciated. And since the email, I have sung WP's praises all over the place, so their customer service strategy has certainly triggered word of mouth marketing!-

Hamilton Beach. I was gifted with an electric tea kettle. Within a few days, I noticed puddles of water every time I used it. I set it aside for more than a year! I decided to check with them. No receipt, almost two years old…no problem. "Send it to us for our quality research, we want you to go online and choose which new model you want. We'll ship it as soon as you decide which one you want…no charge." WOW. I have had the new one for three years and it's still perfect! very pleased.
Feeling good about a brand?- Darden Restaurants. A few years ago I was getting really sick and had to be put on a Gluten-free diet for awhile. It was around the time of my dad's birthday and we were going to eat at Red Lobster,(which I love), but since being on the diet I wasnt sure if I would be able to eat out. So I sent an email and got a quick response back saying that they would have to check. They consulted a chef and got back to me within 24hrs. A few months later I received another email from them asking me to look over an allergy-sensitive menu that they were wanting to put in their restaurants and wanted to know my thoughts. I had never had a company treat me that way before and I will never forget it.

I know I'm 7 months after the contest, but I just have to give kudos to Barnard Tires in Bastrop, Texas. I was badly in need of 4 tires for my truck but times were tough and money was tight. I called around to compare prices and I was looking at $1500.. Barnard's is a small mom-n-pop shop making it difficult for them to compete with the big tire companies. I called them anyway just to see.
When Eric (the owner's son) answered the phone, I could hear the smile on his face. I know this to be true because he is ALWAYS smiling when I go in there. His mother once told me he came out of the womb smiling. I shared my cost predicament and told him what I needed. We discussed options and prices but as I suspected, they were higher than the big companies. I thanked him for his time and hung up the phone. I never gave him my name or my number.
About an hour later, he called me? He apologized for not calling me sooner but said it took him a while to scroll through all the numbers on Caller ID trying to figure out which number was mine. He'd even called other customer's numbers trying to find me.
And he said, "No obligation but I wanted to tell you I have a set of 4 gently used tires that will fit your truck. They came off a guys dually who wanted to upgrade. They are a little more narrow than what you have now, but they'll work and last you for a good year. Do you think $115 would be ok"?
I said, well I appreciate it, but its still going to be $500-600 out the door. I'll have to see what I can come up with.
He said, no, that's $115 TOTAL for all 4 tires…out the door.
I jumped in my truck, ran to their shop and they put those tires on in about 20 minutes. They lasted me for a year and a half.
Talk about an AWESOME experience.

This points out why we see businesses going to primarily "safe" investments such as bonds during economic downturns, doesn't it? Then the risk outweighs the potential rewards, companies will move their money where it is safer.
That behavior is expected, but it can lead to worsening problems in a down economy as businesses that could expand and provide jobs find it more difficult to get the cash they need.

Pretty chipper news all over for Apple shareholders during today's earnings call. Head honcho Tim Cook even took the time to highlight some sunny numbers for the iPad over on the enterprise side of things. According to the CEO, 94 percent of Fortune 500 companies have deployed or are testing the tablet. That number is at 74 percent amongst the Global 500. Apple, naturally, is looking to push that number even higher.

I had a mole all my life. It changed in 2001 and I had surgery to remove it. It was melanoma. They did another surgery and removed three times the size of the mole, I had a skin graft, and they removed a lymph node. I couldn't walk for three months. In 2011, a new mole appeared in the same place and was removed. It was another cancerous mole. So far, so good. "This is very serious. It's a matter of life and death. It's your choice."
Who would think you could get cancer in the same place in the same skin graft area twice in a lifetime. I go every year to get checked now and keep covered and always wear sunblock. This is very serious. It's a matter of life and death. It's your choice. Be careful and have fun. I'm blessed. Enjoy.

pull up a chair & sit a spell…
a trophy buck, hunting, guns, and randy travis's song, forever & ever amen (because according to CrAZY LEgS, NOTHING says 'i love you' like crossed pistols and a dead deer :))….with baroque details, ornate scrolls, and prairie-colored roses.
the design was printed on canvas and sewn to fit the chairs (the chairs actually ended up about an inch bigger than our initial measurements, but we work on the fly so with a little stretching, we made it work:)). we tied floppy hot pink satin sashes on each chair for a pop of hollywood honkytonk and they were perfect.
for other chairs, we wrapped ripped pieces of canvas around the backs and then tied them off with vintage belt buckles and die cast cap guns.
a mish-mash of eclectic seating…
made complete with 4 matching HoT pinK porch swings with pillows made of the same slip design…
a RoCKSTAR elvis SiLVER velvet tufted sofa, 2 drops of jupiter metallic silver chairs, and fleamarket ottomans…
old style granny rocking chairs & retro metal HoT PinK chairs….
the retro metal chairs sat in front of the AiRSTREAM that served as the ViP trailer court…we placed the rocking chairs on the porch of the barn (for a great view overlooking the creek).
and of course…the chairs at the head table…
wooden gothic chairs slipped with crystal-embellished covers
but possibly, the best seat in the house…was right here…
with rugs, mushy pillows, and a crystal chandelier…
because of course, WHO doesn't need a tipi at their wedding? :)

baby put on yer dancin' shoes…
because we were a little caught up with trying to create the most
rockstar perfect wedding reception we could imagine, we kinda neglected other little details.
like uh, what WE were going to wear to the big event…
we raided each other's closets, we excavated our vintage stash…soul sistas from here to there sent us boxes of rockin' vintage threads & jewels to try on (BIG ThankS to DouBLE D RANCHWEAR, MaRTi AgASSi, paris montana, ToNY LAmA, our sista in the bayou -GaBRiELLE, & fellow junker – WiNNIE!!)
our new friend, THE FARMER's TROPHY WiFE was worried we might show up in our work clothes so she posted this.
and true to form, we DID NOT have our outfits nailed down until the VERY LAST MINUTE. using the most absolutely important GyPSY road necessity, a pair of scissors.
mom modified my dress in the hotel room the DAY. of. the. WEDDING.
AND amie pulled out the sewing machine to gypsy-fy her dress literally HOURS. before. the. nuptials.
here we are…right before we raced off to the chapel…
let's start with janie…
she rocked a totally jimi hendrix-style PUrPLE satin ruffle blouse paired with a studded & beaded vest and prairie-style santa fe skirt…all TaSHA POLiZZI.
she layered vintage jewelry with some JG pieces (amethyst agate tassel, the BrANDYWINE necklace, and bracelet) and wore her fave OLd GRINGO juliet-meets-biker-babe zipper-style boots.
and amie…
(we got ready last-minute in the airstream that served as the VIP trailer court during the reception…hairspray, doublesided dress tape, and jewelry was everywhere!)
amie found this way cute ruched HOT PINK dress and added one of our LACE bolero tops that she modified (literally on the front porch of our hotel) by adding ribbons down the length of each arm corset-style.
she added tons o' JG turquoise jewelry (turquoise agate tassel, turquoise revival pendant, and a few vintage pieces)…and OLD GriNGO boots…and with her crazzzzzzzy mess o' bouffant haiR, her outfit was complete.
and then there's me…
i'm extremely proud of the amazingly beautiful necklace i was soooooo lucky to wear! seriously. our dear friend, marti agassi, made this necklace and my earrings. her work is as beautiful as her heart! marti, her sweet daughter-carter, BFF-cindy, and cindy's precious daughter-annie, come from across the globe to antiques week EVERY show…they each have a beautiful spirit that is infectious… XOXOX, y'all!
and yes, her last name is AGASSI…as in the GALACTICALLY-crazy-awesome tennis great, ANDRE AGASSI. (marti is andre's sis-in-law.) a significant portion of EVERY piece of jewelry sold is donated to ANdRE's incredible education foundation, which provides education opportunities to underserved children. (100% graduate and get scholarships to college!)
mom cut the bottom 6 inches off my dress in the hotel…with a little doublestick tape on the top, it was as good as GUCCI!
my TONY LAMA kicks danced manyyyy a mile that night! these babies are the bees knees! hand stitched, hand tooled, & hand painted…completely made in the USA. AND available for pre-order HERE!
my belt, a vintage….circa 1985 – compliments of t-smitty (yep, my husband's childhood belt)…complete with 'TODD' tooled on the back and his initials on the front (all together now…awwwww). amie had the LuCK & LOVE buckle made for my son, cash baker years ago; the TRUE STRENGTH ring and the BiG ChiEF cuff are 2 of my all time faves and the amazing sacred saint ChriSTOPhER bracelet was 'new' made from vintage pieces (it's a one-of-a-kind…we'll be carrying them in our future store).
gussied up in our 'country casual' finest…we hit the trail headed for the chapel…and then back to the barn for the reception. we had a true night to remember…practically danced the soles off our boots and went to bed that night with smiles as big as TeXAS spread across our faces.
and the next morning, still soaking in the magic from the night before and immensely proud of our contribution to the epic evening, we did what we do best…we pulled on our work gloves and got back to work…
methodically dismantling piece-by-piece the greatest masterpiece we've ever created.
and we rode off into the sunset…happily ever after.

rock 'n roll wonderland with a splash of hillbilly
OK. so yes. it's been like foreverrrrr since i've updated y'all. and there's soooo much to tell.
let's start with this little ole wedding we helped with. it was… um, kinda like…a big deal.
and i'm soooo happy to finally share some of the pictures with y'all (more will be forthcoming). the fruits of our labor. it was, the biggest and grandest and most beautifully, awesomely, magically SUBLIME thing we've ever done. i only wish i had a magic school bus (or maybe magic airstream in our case:)) to transport you back to that night at the don strange ranch outside of BoERNE texas so that each of you could actually FEEL and touch and taste the sublimeness of the entire event.
thanks to the amazing skills of RoBERT EVaNS for all images unless noted otherwise (he did brad & jen's wedding and katie & tom's!!! wow. AND…he's like the nicest guy ever).
you know the story of how this project came to be…and for a bit, we struggled with the theme for this reception.
we laid awake at night.
we tossed.
we turned.
our heads whirling a million glittery rockstar miles a minute.
wedding-induced-insomnia. writers block. we were lost in our creative thoughts and unable to pull 'em all together. and then, like a double-shot o' love it hit us.
moonshine & mason jars, fireflies & pink guitars. GRIT. GLAMOUR. glam dEER-CAmP. MariLYN MonROE meets 'OUT of AfRiCA'. it was perfect. it would be beautiful and rustic and rockstar and wedding-ish all at the same time. it was so MIRANDA. and so BLAKE. & SO JuNK GypSY.
there's just so many things we want y'all to know and to see…so many little details. i'll attempt to commentate the above shot…giant 5 foot NEON custom made mason jars with blinking fireflies (one hung in the barn, one hung outside from a tree), custom chair slipcovers, seat sashes made of canvas and tied back with vintage belt buckles & metal die cast cap guns, grapevine deer heads flanked the center of the barn and grapevine bee hives (in honor of blake's hit song, honey bee), crystal chandeliers, vintage boudouir-style fringe lampshades.
the head table…created from a salvaged architectural piece and recycled table legs…then painted pink and stained bronze for a way cool rustic effect. vintage rugs, cowhides, gothic chairs covered with JG custom-made slipcovers (each embellished with over 60 crystals for extra glitz)…all nestled under an authentic camp tent. atop the table are jugs of homemade moonshine along with flower-filled minnow buckets & mason jars…and hanging above are our awesome amazing imported hand-forged deer head crystal chandeliers. we commissioned our good friend, ToDD SANDERS of ROADHouSE RELiCS, to make 'THE ShELTONS' sign inspired by miranda's logo which we designed for her years ago (check out our new guns & wings buckle!!). (and please ignore the BLUE tarpy stuff in the background…it was part of the venue and couldn't be removed…but seriously, it almost killlllled us having it there! :))
thanks to KeLLY CHRiSTINE for this image…XOXOX!
remember this? GunPOWdER & LeAD. our version of a shotgun-wedding. our idea of fancy-schmancy wedding decor. the final product…
after the firing squad got finished with these restaurant cans, we drilled holes in the bottom with a hole saw, ran $5 light cords through 'em and added PINK light bulbs.
clustered together in groups of 5, they were the PERFECT complement to our custom made porch swings emblazoned with miranda's logo (which we stained HOT piNK).
we hung 4 of these in the barn…and they were seriously awwwwwesome.
above each table hung a different eclectic vintage find… including tattered lampshades (softly glowing with twinkle lights) and crystal chandeliers…
when MirANDA and BeV (miranda's mom) first walked in thursday night as we were working…they both cried. (which of course, made us cry too:).
after the wedding, miranda later twittered: "I finally got to see my wedding pics in US weekly. Amazing day. @junkgypsy made it a rock and roll wonderland with a splash of hillbilly:)"
in short, it was the best night ever. we danced side-by-side with kelly clarkson (i'm dying), kellie pickler, laura bell bundy, hillary, charles, & DaVE of LadY AnteBELLUM, and sooo many more. we met reba mcentire (seriously. i'm speechless. i've loved her since 'whoever's in new england'). we loved seeing our good friend dierks bentley and catching up with katherine heigl (aka: katie…since we are BFF's and all…click her name to read about our BFF night in MirANDA's airstream) & husband josh kelley. we united with our brutha from another mutha, cake designer extraordinaire- jay qualls. we boogied down to NEAL McCOY (i ain't kiddin, BEST concert EvER!) with the PiSTOL ANNieS and then partied to the tunes of celebrity-style karoake until the early hours of the morning.
but all of that, is another blog…
P.S. check out our wedding section online to get tha LOOK!!! it's still in the works so check back frequently!

2. Project Summary & Scientific Objectives for the Next 5 Years
Please give a brief description of your project - highlighting its computational aspect - and outline its scientific objectives for the next 3-5 years. Please list one or two specific goals you hope to reach in 5 years.
Develop the XGC large scale edge kinetic codes further for higher fidelity simulation of the electromagnetic multiscale edge physics in ITER. Using the kinetic codes, perform integrated simulation among kinetic, MHD, neutral particles, and atomic physics for higher fidelity understanding of the multiscale edge physics and the wall heat-load.
3. Current HPC Usage and Methods
3a. Please list your current primary codes and their main mathematical methods and/or algorithms. Include quantities that characterize the size or scale of your simulations or numerical experiments; e.g., size of grid, number of particles, basis sets, etc. Also indicate how parallelism is expressed (e.g., MPI, OpenMP, MPI/OpenMP hybrid)
Our current primary codes are XGC0 and XGC1 particle-in-cell codes. Particle motions are described by Largrangian equation of motion in 3D cylindrical coordinate system on realistic toroidal geometry with magnetic separatrix. Either Runge-Kutta or predictor-corrector methods are used. The field quantities are evaluated on grid mesh using linear multigrid PETSc solvers. The scale of the simulation is characterized by grid size, which then determines the number of particles. The parallelism is expressed by MPI/OpenMP hybrid.
3b. Please list known limitations, obstacles, and/or bottlenecks that currently limit your ability to perform simulations you would like to run. Is there anything specific to NERSC?
Current limitation we are trying to overcome is in the algorithm which enables the fully electromagnetic turbulence simulation within the 5D gyrokinetic formalism. This is related to the time-step resolution of the fast electron motions, hence to the computing power. Presently, 5D ion full-f simulation of the DIII-D edge plasma requires 20 hours of simulation on 100,000 processor cores. Other machines can require more computing power. Fluid-kinetic or split-weight electron simplification technique can significantly reduce the computing-power requirement, by demanding only 2 times more number of processor cores instead of factor of 60 (full electron kinetics in deuteron plasmas). The electromagnetic simulation of DIII-D edge plasma thus requires 200K processor cores on Franklin for one-day completion. With higher computing power, the electrons can be simulated in full-velocity function, instead of the simplified velocity space function. ITER simulation will require about 1 million processor cores for a 20 hour run, assuming that the current linear scalability holds.
3c. Please fill out the following table to the best of your ability. This table provides baseline data to help extrapolate to requirements for future years. If you are uncertain about any item, please use your best estimate to use as a starting point for discussions.

Off-Line Archival Storage Required |
1 TB and 30 Files |
Please list any required or important software, services, or infrastructure (beyond supercomputing and standard storage infrastructure) provided by HPC centers or system vendors.
As the system becomes larger, early detection for the processor failure is an important issue for an HPC code such as XGC1. A detection software, which can be compiled and run together with an HPC code can be quite helpful. If the software can replace the faulty node with another one, it will be even better. Otherwise, the code run can be stopped for a restart.
4. HPC Requirements in 5 Years
4a. We are formulating the requirements for NERSC that will enable you to meet the goals you outlined in Section 2 above. Please fill out the following table to the best of your ability. If you are uncertain about any item, please use your best estimate to use as a starting point for discussions at the workshop.
Computational Hours Required per Year |
500,000,000 |
Anticipated Number of Cores to be Used in a Typical Production Run |
1,000,000 |
Anticipated Wallclock to be Used in a Typical Production Run Using the Number of Cores Given Above |

Anticipated On-Line File Storage Required (For I/O from a Running Job) |
5 TB and 3,000 Files |
Anticipated Off-Line Archival Storage Required |
10 TB and 100 Files |
4b. What changes to codes, mathematical methods and/or algorithms do you anticipate will be needed to achieve this project's scientific objectives over the next 5 years.
A new physics algorithm is needed, and currently under development, which utilizes the full-f ions and the delta-f electrons. Fully parallelized particle and grid data are needed for enhanced data locality and reduced memory requirement.
4c. Please list any known or anticipated architectural requirements (e.g., 2 GB memory/core, interconnect latency < 1 μs).
0.1 GB memory/core
4d. Please list any new software, services, or infrastructure support you will need over the next 5 years.
Since XGC1 is anticipated to be running at near the maximal capacity of the new machines over the next 5 years, efficient fault tolerance services will be needed.
4e. It is believed that the dominant HPC architecture in the next 3-5 years will incorporate processing elements composed of 10s-1,000s of individual cores, perhaps GPUs or other accelerators. It is unlikely that a programming model based solely on MPI will be effective, or even supported, on these machines. Do you have a strategy for computing in such an environment? If so, please briefly describe it.
We have been quite successful in adapting to the current level of multi-core architecture by using the MPI/OpenMP hybrid mode. We find that the all-OpenMP operation per node is not the optimal solution on 12 core XT5. Instead, the solution was two Open-MP processes per node. As the core numbers increase per processing element, our low level strategy is to find the highest-performance mixture between OpenMP and MPI per node. At a higher level, our 3-5 years strategy is to develop asynchronous algorithms for effective utilization of many heterogeneous cores. A run-time scheduler such as StarPU will be used to coordinate and map threads to computational resources. Another approach is the incorporation of partitioned global address space (PGAS) languages to offer means for expressing locality of data.
We are also looking into the GPGPUs. Sparse matrix-vector multiply has been demonstrated on GPGPU and is supported by optimized library from Nvidia. Similarly, multi-grid has been demonstrated to have efficient implementation on GPGPU. These are expected to be useful for the XGC paricle-in-cell code.
New Science With New Resources
To help us get a better understanding of the quantitative requirements we've asked for above, please tell us: What significant scientific progress could you achieve over the next 5 years with access to 50X the HPC resources you currently have access to at NERSC? What would be the benefits to your research field if you were given access to these kinds of resources?
Please explain what aspects of "expanded HPC resources" are important for your project (e.g., more CPU hours, more memory, more storage, more throughput for small jobs, ability to handle very large jobs).
We will have higher fidelity 5D gyrokinetic simulation of the ITER plasma including kinetic electrons and electromagnetic turbulence in realistic diverted magnetic field geometry. This will allow us to understand many unknown, but necessary, physical phenomena for successful ITER research, which have not been possible using the present reduced models.
Ability to handle very large jobs and more CPU hours are important for our project.
