lol….no, seriously…..'there's an elephant in my garden' …by karin taylor…..little girls love this design, i try to remember what is was like being little myself, and what I would have loved on my bedroom wall…this painting is a product of my imagination that began in a moment of inspiration when my parents showed me an elephant topiary they saw in Tasmania, they now have a number of topiaries in their own garden.
there's an elephant in my garden, children, drawing, elephant, gifts, girls, karin taylor, painting, sweet, birthday, special occasions, mothers day, mother's

There's an Elephant in my Garden
a drawing on catridge from my Art Diary
digitally coloured
I hope that the grownups who look at this painting will remember something special from their childhood, some hopeful feeling, which will help them through today's difficulties. There are all the colours of the rainbow in this piece, to remind us that there is always hope, no matter how hopeless it seems sometimes. The rainbow is a sign of hope.
Children See/Children Do powerful message for grownups
I hope that all the children who look at this painting will drift off into a faraway place in their imagination and feel wonderful for a while, especially if things are getting them down…and if life is wonderful, may this little picture add to the wonder and spark the imagination.
Big hello to Maya!! :)

Cold Spring Harbor, Billy Joel's debut solo album, failed to make a strong impression upon its release in 1971. Worse still, it was released with a curious mastering gaffe that sped up songs and altered the pitch of Joel's vocals. Frustrated and seeking a change in scenery, Long Island native Joel packed his bags for Los Angeles. There he took any and every gig he could find as a lounge singer/pianist (performing under the name Bill Martin). From these long L.A. nights of cigarette smoke and boozy requests, however, came the inspiration and images for "Piano Man" – the title track of Joel's 1973 album for Columbia Records and one of his signature songs. It stands as a classic of the Seventies singer/songwriter movement. Playing expressive piano, reaching into his upper vocal range, Joel rues his own failings while finding hope and even humor in his interactions with the bar's patrons and staff. An old man, a waitress, Paul the "real estate novelist," Davy "who's still in the Navy" – listeners can imagine them all joining in on the song's indelible chorus: Sing us a song, you're the piano man/Sing us a song tonight/Well, we're all in the mood for a melody/And you've got us feeling all right. The song reached Number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1974 and spent 14 weeks on the chart. Joel was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
Listen to and learn the stories behind the Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's unique app. This app features clips of more than 500 songs, each with cover art, and fascinating artist and recording notes.

|Moduli Spaces of Reflexive Sheaves of Rank 2
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent rank $2$ sheaf on a scheme $Y \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$ of dimension at least two and let $X \subset Y$ be the zero set of a section $\sigma \in H^0(\mathcal{F})$. In this paper, we study the relationship between the functor that deforms the pair $(\mathcal{F},\sigma)$ and the two functors that deform $\mathcal{F}$ on $Y$, and $X$ in $Y$, respectively. By imposing some conditions on two forgetful maps between the functors, we prove that the scheme structure of \emph{e.g.,} the moduli scheme ${\rm M_Y}(P)$ of stable sheaves on a threefold $Y$ at $(\mathcal{F})$, and the scheme structure at $(X)$ of the Hilbert scheme of curves on $Y$ become closely related. Using this relationship, we get criteria for the dimension and smoothness of $ {\rm M_{Y}}(P)$ at $(\mathcal{F})$, without assuming $ {\textrm{Ext}^2}(\mathcal{F} ,\mathcal{F} ) = 0$. For reflexive sheaves on $Y=\mathbb{P}^{3}$ whose deficiency module $M = H_{*}^1(\mathcal{F})$ satisfies $ {_{0}\! \textrm{Ext}^2}(M ,M ) = 0 $ (\emph{e.g.,} of diameter at most 2), we get necessary and sufficient conditions of unobstructedness that coincide in the diameter one case. The conditions are further equivalent to the vanishing of certain graded Betti numbers of the free graded minimal resolution of $H_{*}^0(\mathcal{F})$. Moreover, we show that every irreducible component of ${\rm M}_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}(P)$ containing a reflexive sheaf of diameter one is reduced (generically smooth) and we compute its dimension. We also determine a good lower bound for the dimension of any component of ${\rm M}_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}(P)$ that contains a reflexive stable sheaf with ``small'' deficiency module $M$.

Wallace's translation of Dudjom Lingpa's "gnas lugs rang byung" [dag snang ye shes drva pa las gnas lugs rang byung gi rgyud rdo rje'i snying po] will be one of the publications, finally. An unfinalized version of the translation has been circulating online for some years now, looking forward to this finalized version being available (the text requires a transmission no doubt, but nevertheless nice to see this coming out).

Ah interesting, so the book was originally published some time ago and this release next year will be a second edition? I saw on Wallace's site that his translation of the tantra was released in 2004(?) by Wisdom Publications, and the book was titled "The Vajra Heart" or "Vajra Essence". Though I figured the listing was a typo or an old entry which was never updated because I have never seen or heard of anyone having a hard copy book, and Wisdom Publications does not mention it. But the first edition was a limited release then perhaps?

Ghost Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Ghost Online is a fast paced 2D Side-scrolling fantasy MMORPG. The game plays much like it's competitors, but unfortunately that's about it, as the game has very few unique features and very limited content.
Publisher: Netgame
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Arena / Event only
Filesize: 1625 MB
Pros: +Unique graphic style. +Plenty of playable classes and job promotions. +Helpful tutorial. +Great background music. +Good interface.
Cons: -Repetitive combat. -Text is blurry and hard to read. -Limited PvP options.
This game has been relaunched as Soul Saver Online.
Ghost Online Overview
Ghost Online is an interesting 2D Side-scrolling MMORPG by Netgame. It seems that the side-scrolling MMORPG genre is really starting to take off, as more and more publishers are launching their own side scrolling titles. I'm not going to sugar coat it. Ghost Online looks virtually identical to Maplestory, so it loses points on innovation, but the game does have its own two legs to stand on and is well worth checking out. Players start their adventure in the game's world as a classless peasants and can advance to one of the game's four job advancements at level 10. The game's four first job advancements are:
Warrior - Warriors are the generic 'fighter' class in Ghost Online. They have high defense and can deal a moderate amount of damage in melee combat. The drawback to playing a warrior is that they do not have many ranged attacks and can't deal as much damage as the game's other classes.
Assassin - Assassin's are the most agile and stealthiest class in Ghost Online. They have incredibly high attack power, but weak defense. They can use both ranged and melee weapons as they are skilled with both throwing stars and claw weapons.
Magician – Magicians are the generic offensive spell casting class in Ghost Online. They are capable of dealing large amounts of damage from a distance with their powerful spells, but they have the lowest hit points of all the classes. They are capable
Champion - Champions are hybrids of Warriors and Assassins. They can deal more damage than a warrior in melee range, but have less defensive capabilities.

Ghost Online Review
By, Omer Altay
The one thing I see online every time I look up information about Ghost Online is an ongoing debate about which game came out first, Maplestory or Ghost Online. Now, I'm not exactly sure which came out first, but from everything that I've read and seen, MapleStory was released before Ghost Online. I'm not sure what the big deal is, but apparently a lot of people are taking a side and fighting over it. I personally feel that it makes no difference, as a lot of games copy each other, and that's normal. In fact one of the things I really like about Ghost Online is that it used the same graphic style as Maplestory and even improved it a bit. Ghost Online was also one of the first 2D Side scrolling games to directly compete with Maplestory, so in that regard, it's original. I'd also like to point out that Ghost Online only came to the United States in the last year or so, as it was previously only available in English on the Malaysian servers. Needless to say, but the Netgame servers for the game have significantly less lag for players in the United States.
First Impressions
When I first created my character and entered the game world, I was presented with a rather creative tutorial, as while the game was teaching me the basics, it was also introducing the game's story. Now, I don't think I need to really mention this, as most of you can probably already guess, the game's story doesn't really make much sense, as these free MMORPGs don't tend to put a lot of effort into quality translations. The premise of the game's story though is that an old legendary fighter ate some plant that made him young again, and that young man is you.
All players start their journey in Ghost Online as classless peasants and can advance to their first real class upon reaching level 10. The game's four starting classes are Warrior, Assassin, Magician and Champion. Upon actually entering the game I quickly found my way out of town and began grinding. The game's experience rate is a bit faster than that of its competitors, as reaching level 10 will only take an hour or two depending on how you play the game. I actually found moving around and the overall feel of the game to be extremely fluid and responsive. On top of that, the game's interface is top notch. The only thing that really turned me off from the game was that it has absolutely no background music, which is a shame, as listening to some background tracks would be a good distraction from the game's grind oriented game play. I really don't mind grinding too much if the game I'm playing has catchy music. I was never expecting Sword of the New World like epic music, but the fact that the game has no background music is disappointing.
Core Gameplay
Ghost Online's core gameplay is similar to that of every other 2D side scrolling game, in that movement and combat is almost identical. Players start with three points into every one of the game's four attributes; STR, DEX, PHY and INT and gain four additional attribute points each level. In addition, each level rewards players with two skill points. Skill points aren't too important early on, as peasants only have access to the game's most basic skills until they reach level 10 and advance to their first job. The game's four starting skills are Sprint, Wind Jump, Meditation and Wind Blast. One thing that I actually really liked about Ghost Online is that the game has some useful starting skills. Skills like Sprint are incredibly important and should be maxed out right away, as they increase your characters movement speed. This skill alone makes moving around in Ghost Online incredibly fast, which is a huge improvement over Maplestory's incredibly slow movement and gameplay, at least in my opinion. The game's questing system is fairly simple and effective. Players find every quest that's currently available to them in their quest log and also keep track of quests they're working on in the same area. Generally everything from moving around to combat in Ghost Online is incredibly fluid and smooth.
Small Community
Perhaps my single biggest complaint about Ghost Online is that the game has a fairly small playerbase. I made my character on the game's most populated server, which seems almost deserted. The one thing that I don't understand is why on earth Netgame would create four servers for a game that has a small playerbase. It just doesn't make sense. The game should just consolidate all the servers into one big one, so the game feels like it at least has a community. This really isn't as big of an issue for those strictly playing the game with friends, but for everyone else a small community can easily be a 'deal breaker'. One of the reasons I loved LaTale (another 2D side-scroller) so much, is that the game had a large population. Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy seeing other newbies alongside me grinding away struggling to reach the next job advancement. It just feels disheartening to see many of the starting areas completely empty, and unfortunately that's how it is with Ghost Online
PvP Options
Aside from grinding and completing quests, the number of features available in Ghost Online is extremely limited. Luckily, the game does have some PvP options. Upon completing a special question players can select one of the game's two factions, Order and Chaos. Players from both factions can participate in faction vs faction PvP events. Also, once a week on Sundays, players can participate in the game's 'Castle Siege', which is a massive 30 vs 30 PvP event.
Final Verdict – Good
Although Ghost Online doesn't have as many nearly as many features as its competitors, it's still a solid game. If you've already played MapleStory and LaTale and are looking for similar games, then Ghost Online is certainly worth the download, otherwise I would recommend LaTale or MapleStory over this game.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Liz1010 Excellent tankini, I like the look of this whole tankini set (w/ the side shirred bottoms)! I got this tankini set in navy, it looks great on (not frumpy). The v neck is low but it still worked for me. I usually wear a size 4-6 and 34C, the small fit very well. Comfortable and great quality, seems like it would last. Nice beaded detail with mixed beads. It's a little expensive but was worth it for me. I enjoyed wearing this on my cruise! January 20, 2014

In the last OpenGL SDK post I introduced the new SDK, now let me introduce our first new sample, "Simple Tessellation Shader". As the name implies, it demonstrates the minimum parts necessary to use tessellation shaders in OpenGL. The sample only demonstrates tessellating the quad domain (rather than the triangular domain), and it shows two modes: one with a flat plane and one where the plane is wrapped into a torus.

The look and feel of that button should be defined by the WM.
The toolkit even has nothing to do with this. If each application can decide how title bars look and feel, it'll lead do inconsistencies even within applications using a shared toolkit.
Considering that as part of Canonical's usability vision they need to have control over all title bars. I doubt they'll be willing to let application developers fuck up Unity's look and feel. Canonical can be surprisingly persuasive and even willing to actually contribute code when it comes to that. It was Canonical who wrote and contributed the code to Qt to export application menus via dbus to make Qt applications integrate into Unity.
Well, I'm curious how it'll actually end up. I have the gut feeling that in the end applications won't get complete control over the window decoration, despite Wayland's design intentions.
Have you ever ran Chrome on Linux? Do you actually know that applications can bypass window manager decorations right now on X? The window decorations cannot be enforced.
So seriously, what are you talking about? On Wayland, window decorations will be standardized by your DE. All KDE apps will still look the same. All Gnome apps will look the same. Unless an app doesn't want to.
Last edited by RealNC; 09-02-2012 at 05:16 AM.
you'd have long known that this is a standpoint Khristian has made clear he won't leave.
It's not going to happen, period.
but to have a consistent experience it doesn't really help to have a tiny scratch at the top look the same across all apps,
while the titlebar and actual content mismatch in style. Consistency within app > fake consistency across apps.
Actually, it's not going to be an issue at all. If you look at how native theme engines can make either Qt look almost the same as GTK and vise versa,
there might not even be a need for a shared library with deco drawing routines / unified theming.
I'm not really good at explaining it, but I've sure experienced it with apps like Inkscape.
You should consult Wayland resources for info on that.
My views on usability and consistency on that matter are backed up by John Siracusa from ArsTechnica who repeatedly criticized similar instances under OSX (iTunes vertical window buttons, natural look of Address Book, etc.).
What you simply fail to understand is that it's not about the look alone, even though I repeatedly wrote look and feel.
Once users get GNOME applications into their hand which they cannon minimize under other DEs (Plasma Desktop or whatever) because minimizing is not something that fits into GNOME Shells workflow, a shitstorm will break out.
You didn't answer the question. If applications can already disable WM decorations, then what's your problem?
Answer that please, instead of talking around it and trying to sneak out, Mr. Usability Authority.

Paul McCartney & The Rolling Stones Rehearsing Next To Each Other
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones are rehearsing next to each other in London, according to MaccaReport.com. Two members of McCartney's band tweetted about the situation with Guitarist/bassist Brian Ray posting: "An insane few days of rehearsal with the pleasant distraction of the Rolling Stones rehearsing next door to us. Listening to the Rolling Stones rehearse next door, with the urgency of a local rock band looking to break out was fairly inspiring."
Longtime keyboardist "Wix" Wickens added: "Good rehearsal day. The Stones are rehearsing next door so went to visit my lovely friend Chuck Leavell. Surreal with Charlie (Watts), Ronnie (Wood) etc."
12 years after his initial sessions with McCartney, lead guitarist Rusty Anderson says he's still pinching himself over his outstanding luck at landing such a coveted gig: "Everything's just evolved a lot over the last, I don't know, how long have I been playing with Paul? It's certainly a huge part of my life and playing these gigantic concerts and everything is a big perspective. Just, I really enjoy making music and I feel very blessed being able to do it with great people like Paul."

Even Then, It Was a Step into the Past
From the Los Angeles Times, May 31, 2009, by Lisa See
Almost all writers write about place. Los Angeles writers are no exception. Walter Mosley, Michael Jaime-Becerra, and Janet Fitch, to name a few, capture the intimate details of very specific neighborhoods. Sometimes the sense of place is so strong that the natural topography, the streets and what's on them, become as fully realized as a living, breathing character. The neighborhood I write about is Chinatown. Yes, a lot of my novels take place in China, but those stories wouldn't—couldn't— have been written if not for Chinatown.
I lived with my mother, Carolyn See, when I was growing up. We moved eight times before I turned nine, so Chinatown, where my paternal grandparents and my grandfather's brothers and sister worked in the family antiques store, became home base for me. To my eyes, Chinatown didn't change. More than that, my Chinese American relatives didn't move or change either. Rather, they were very much stuck in the past. It was a past that entranced me when I was a child; it's a past I long for every day, and one I got to write about in Shanghai Girls.
Shanghai Girls is about two sisters who leave China and come to Los Angeles in arranged marriages in 1938. There were four Chinatowns in Los Angeles at that time: New Chinatown—with its neon lights and gaily painted buildings on Broadway; City Market Chinatown—for produce sellers and their families; Old Chinatown—comprised of the few buildings that survived the demolition required to build Union Station; and China City—a tourist attraction bordered by Ord, Spring, Main, and Macy streets. Pearl and May, my fictional sisters, live in the Garnier Building in Old Chinatown, where the Chinese American Museum is today, and they work in China City.
China City was supposed to be an "authentic" Chinese city, but was pure fantasy and stereotype. It was surrounded by a miniature Great Wall and built out of sets left over from the filming of The Good Earth. Visitors could ride rickshaws down the Passage of One Hundred Surprises, nibble on Chinaburgers, or drink pirate grog at the Chinese Junk Café (constructed from the old set for Bluebeard's Eighth Wife). For all its wacky charm, China City was an ill-fated place, which is how I came to be connected to it. Much of it burned less than a year after it opened. It was rebuilt only to catch fire again ten years later. In 1949, China City closed. Within a few years, my family moved their antique store, the F. Suie One Co., into China City's last remaining large building. As a little girl, stepping into the store was like stepping into another time and place. Two large marble lions flanked the moon gate, where every day my grandfather rolled a rickshaw out to the curb to attract customers. The long central hall was edged by what had once been some of China City's little stores and kiosks. There were upturned eaves, an old wishing well, and the remnants of a goldfish pond.
The store itself was filled with Asian antiques, with separate rooms for bronzes, textiles, and ceramics. It was a beautiful place filled with extraordinary objects and redolent of teak, moth balls, and incense, but I was afraid of the warehouse, which was dark and seemed to have shadowy things lurking in the corners. I also got nervous whenever I had to go to the workroom with its roar of saws, gorgeous Chinese calendar girls on the walls advertising this or that Chinatown café, and clouds of sawdust. My grandfather and great-uncles were partly deaf and missing fingers because they didn't use safety equipment.
My parents were in graduate school back then and they seemed very smart. But my Chinese relatives had a different kind of knowledge that still impresses me. My great-grandfather was a south China peasant. This meant, among other things, that his children were raised to be frugal. They knew how to turn an empty 5-gallon soy sauce can into a dustpan or make and use asphalt to "antique" baskets to sell as curios. They also knew what was important: food and family, maybe in that order. .
For lunch, we ate homemade char siu sandwiches, or my grandfather would take me up Ord and across Spring to what he called "the little place," where we would pick up cha nau (what is now more familiarly known as dim sum). Sometimes my grandmother took me to visit Blackie at the Sam Sing Butcher Shop with its life-size gold-leafed pig in the window, to chat with Margaret at the International Grocery, or to look in the window of Yee Mee Loo, which I believe was the first restaurant in the city to have an open kitchen. In the long afternoons, my grandmother and Aunt Sissee would tell stories about Old Chinatown and China City, gossip about upcoming weddings or one-month parties, or indulge in a little trash talking about New Chinatown, where some of our other relatives had stores and restaurants that "we" considered too touristy.
After the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, my family's store and many other buildings along Spring Street were condemned. What had once been China City was officially wiped off the map. My family moved the F. Suie One Co. to Pasadena, where it's celebrating its 112th year in business.
But my grandparents, all the aunts and uncles and their spouses, are gone now. What used to be called New Chinatown is now Old Chinatown. My great-grandfather's second family and my great-grandfather's uncle's sons still have stores there, but they are surrounded by trendy art galleries. Although a lot of old-timers don't look upon the galleries with much pleasure, I don't have anything against them, except that they aren't from my childhood—and how silly and self-absorbed is that? I can't help it, though. I know that all the people and places on the Chinese side of my family who have meant so much to me and who have given me the voice and courage to write will be gone within a few years. That feeling of loss—for my childhood memories of Chinatown; for no longer being able to hear my uncles' stories of the various Chinatowns; for no longer having people who know exactly where I fit into the huge Fong See family tree; for no longer being able to slow down to that old country pace with people who know how to convert a soy sauce container into a handy-dandy dustpan; and for no longer having a place where I can enter through a moon gate, step into another world, and just be—became the emotional heart of Shanghai Girls.
Thomas Wolfe wrote, "You can't go home again," and for some that may be true. Here, in Southern California, almost all of us have come from somewhere else. We've all had someone in our families who was brave enough, scared enough, or crazy enough to leave their home countries—or their childhood in any of the other forty-nine states—to come here. Some people peel off layers of the past and abandon them in the same way pioneers threw excess weight from their covered wagons. But as they say, you can run but you can't hide. No matter how far we go, and I haven't strayed very far myself, we still carry our homes and pasts, for good and bad, in our hearts.
Writing about the fictional Pearl and May in Shanghai Girls allowed me to step back to a time before I was born, to places I've loved, and to spend time in the way that only writers can with fragments of people— their stories, the lilt of their laughs, the way they move across the floor— who are gone from me now. I'll carry those people and places with me forever, and they'll always be a part of my writing, whether it's in a story set in a small Chinese village or one set right here in Los Angeles Chinatown.
1. Pearl's narration is unique because of its level, calm tone throughout— even when the events she describes are horrific. One is reminded of Wordsworth's reference to "emotion recollected in tranquility." It is almost as if Pearl is writing in a diary. What was Lisa See trying to accomplish in setting up this counterpoint between her tone and her narrative?
2. Pearl is a Dragon and May is a Sheep. Do you think the two sisters, in their actions in the novel, are true to their birth signs?
3. Which sister is smarter? Which is more beautiful?
4. Each sister believes that her parents loved the other sister more. Who is right about this? Why?
5. Pearl says that parents die, husbands and children can leave, but sisters are for life. Does that end up being true for Pearl? If you have a sister, to what extent does the relationship between Pearl and May speak to your own experience? What's the difference between a relationship that's "just like sisters" and a relationship between real sisters? Is there anything your sister could do that would cause an irreparable breach?
6. Z.G. talks about ai kuo, the love for your country, and ai jen, the emotion you feel for the person you love. How do these ideas play out in the novel?
7. Shanghai Girls makes a powerful statement about the mistreatment of Chinese immigrants in the United States. Were you surprised about any of the details in the novel related to this theme?
8. How would you describe the relationship between Pearl and May? How does the fact that both are, in a sense, Joy's mother affect their relationship? Who loves Joy more and how does she show it?
9. Pearl doesn't come to mother-love easily or naturally. At what point does she begin to claim Joy as her own? How, where, and why does she continue to struggle with the challenges of being a mother? Do you think this is an accurate portrayal of motherhood?
10. There are times when it seems like outside forces conspire against Pearl—leaving China, working in the restaurant, not finding a job after the war, and taking care of Vern. How much of what happens to Pearl is a product of her own choices?
11. Pearl's attitude toward men and the world in general is influenced by what happened to her in the shack outside Shanghai. To what extent does she find her way to healing by the end of the novel? Did your attitude toward Old Man Louie change? How do you feel about Sam and his relationship with Pearl and Joy? Did your impression of him change as the novel progressed?
12. The novel begins with Pearl saying, "I am not a person of importance" (p. 3). After Yen-yen dies, Pearl comments: "Her funeral is small. After all, she was not a person of importance, rather just a wife and mother" (p. 246). How do you react to comments like these?
13. Speaking of Yen-yen, Pearl notes: "When we're packing, Yen-yen says she's tired. She sits down on the couch in the main room and dies" (p. 246). Why does Pearl describe Yen-yen's death in such an abrupt way?
14. After Joy points out the differences in the way Z.G. painted her mother and aunt in the Communist propaganda posters, May says, "Everything always returns to the beginning" (p. 267). Pearl has her idea of what May meant, but what do you think May really meant? And what is Pearl's understanding of this saying at the end of the novel?
15. Near the end of Shanghai Girls, May argues that Pearl and Sam have withdrawn into a world of fear and isolation, not taking advantage of the opportunities open to them. Do you agree with May that much of Pearl's sadness and isolation is self-imposed? Why or why not?
16. How do clothes define Pearl and May in different parts of the story? How do the sisters use clothes to manipulate others?
17. How does food serve as a gateway to memory in the novel? How does it illustrate culture and tradition both in the novel and in your own family?
18. What influence—if any—do Mama's beliefs have on Pearl? How do they evolve over time?
19. Pearl encounters a lot of racism, but she also holds many racist views herself. Is she a product of her time? Do her attitudes change during the course of the story?
20. What role does place—Shanghai, Angel Island, China City, and Chinatown—serve in the novel? What do you think Lisa See was trying to say about "home"?

Afterglow is one of many photo editors at the App Store, but an intuitive control layout, tons of subtle effects, and several sharing options make it an interesting option for tweaking your images. The app's primary focus is posting your altered images to Instagram, but you have plenty of other options for sharing as well. Start by taking a picture with your camera or grabbing an image from your photo library.
Rather than dramatic changes, what Afterglow focuses on is perfecting your image with subtle filters and other tweaks. The interface has buttons across the bottom of the screen for basic color tweaks (saturation and contrast, for example), filters, afterglow effects, and basic tools for cropping, rotating, and flipping the image. You also get a revert button in the lower left if you want to discard all your changes.
With the focus on posting the final product to Instagram, images are transformed into perfect squares with subtle filters and real filmlike effects that create the "afterglow." The filters range from black and white variations to color tweaks and mild sepia tone; You're not going to find dramatic filters or textures here like you find in many popular retro filter apps. The afterglow effects give your photo that real film quality, adding colorful lens flares, scratchy film textures, and other effects that give your image a quirky look that seems unintended. Each of the effects have sliders to increase the intensity of the look, but even at 100% the changes are fairly minor.
When you're finished, you can send the photo to your Instagram app for posting, save to your camera roll, send via e-mail, or post to other social networks like Twitter or Facebook. You also have the option to sent it to other supported apps on your iPhone, so if the changes aren't enough, you always have the option to tweak further in apps like PhotoToaster or Camera+.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MichelleC Runs a little small I ordered this shirt for my husband. It came quickly, was very nice quality & looked perfect but, it was a little small for him. I had to return it. I am waiting for my account to be credited. I'm sure it will happen soon. I only mailed the shirt back a few days ago. I would not hesitate to do business with this company in the future. September 22, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacks Didn't work out but cool shirt I loved the style of the shirt. The color was off with the natural linen (looked cream on internet was more khaki in reality) one was too small one was too big. But loved the blue color.

Gallery: Awesome Mobile Prefab Coffee Platform is a Rapid Prototyped Wa...
Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc. donated a generous supply of Alpolic, which is a unique aluminum composite material, to the studio in hope that the students could explore it and come up with innovative uses. The students and their professors aimed to push the material to its extents within the limits of currently available CNC fabrication technology. At the same time, the design studio also set out to explore why prefab construction has not had as big of an impact as it was touted to have.
Through the students' research and marketing studies and love of mobile food trucks, they settled on a design for a mobile coffee station. While mobile food trucks are seen everywhere, their design and functionality often leave much to be desired. To create the mobile coffee platform, the students built a rolling steel frame, which can be moved by hand or pulled by a vehicle. The body of the coffee bar is composed of ribs of Alpolic cut with a CNC machine and partially covered with a plywood exterior.
The barista stands behind the wraparound bar serving up coffee drinks, while customers can stand under the shade and chat it up. There is no floor to the coffee bar and the barista stands at the same level as patrons, which also helps during cleanup. Rapid Type was completed in early May and is available for special events should you need your own rolling coffee shop.
