Blogiversary IV: Anatomy Of A Blog Post
Ever wonder what goes into writing one of our posts? No? Well, we're gonna tell you anyways. Consider it another peek behind the scenes and into our crazy blogging minds a bit further. We probably take our post writing a bit more seriously than most folks (but maybe we should since paying the mortgage depends on it) so we're certainly not saying this is how it should be done. It's just how we do it.
In general terms, most of our project-oriented posts go through these stages: from planning & prep through doing & documenting things, all the way to posting & responding to comments.
Those of you who write blogs about your home probably go through a similar process. Of course sometimes the process is fast and can happen within a day or two, and sometimes it's quite long (as you'll see in a moment). And on any given day, we'll be juggling a few different projects/posts that can be at very different stages since we usually share eight of them in a five day span. The chart below is just hypothetical, but the dotted line shows how at any one time we could be writing a post about one project, while doing, planning, or responding to comments on several others.
But we already covered what any given day could look like, so let's turn back to the purpose of this post: following the path of a post. Let's use our bathroom mirror project from earlier this month as our example, since it was a bit of a (mis)adventure in its own right.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 21st:
8:30 am-ish: Sherry realizes it'd be good to have a last minute one-day project to share in the coming week – specifically on Monday (aka tomorrow) morning. Yikes. I suggest framing out the bathroom mirror since it has been something on our list since January and it sounds pretty simple. Sherry likes it, so I scout the web for some tutorials / advice (including Layla & Kevin's experience) to help send us down the right track.
10 am-ish: After breakfast, we all hit up Lowe's to stock up on supplies – i.e. mirror adhesive and trim (Clara "drives" the cart while Burger rides in the back – gotta love that dogs-allowed policy). We like doing things like this together so we can both come to an agreement on materials (like trim in this case, which comes in a ton of sizes and shapes) instead of one person staying home with Clara while the other one nervously makes all the decisions alone.
11:30 am-ish: Now home, Clara goes down for a nap and I dive in by taking "before" pictures of the door and then remove it. Sherry's in the office writing another post for that week.
1:00 pm-ish: The project is slow going since I take a few more pics of the process than I end up using, but it never hurts to have more to choose from when it comes time to write the post. I finish putting the glue on the door, Sherry helps me place the mirror, Clara's starting to wake up… and that's when I realize that the directions on the adhesive say to wait at least 72 hours before sealing the edges. Crap. There's no way this will be done in time to share Monday morning (or Tuesday or Wednesday for that matter). We kick ourselves for not thinking of that. Time for Plan B.
1:15 pm-ish: Plan B is the pallet compost bin I've been wanting to make. Sherry's lukewarm on the idea (afraid it will also take too long) but it wins because we already have all of the supplies (i.e. pallets & screws) on hand (and shopping for supplies and doing an entirely new project isn't likely to be accomplished in such a short time period). Sherry feeds Clara lunch and I head outside. The rest of the afternoon is spent making, photographing, and writing about the pallet compost bin (Sherry is beyond relieved that it's done) as the mirror sets in the sunroom.
MONDAY, AUGUST 22nd:
10 am: Pallet compost bin post goes up, no one is the wiser (until now) that it was a pinch-hitter post. The mirror is still setting…
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24th:
9:00 am: My mom is over to do her regular three-hour Wednesday morning babysitting, so I use it as an excuse to return to the mirror project (even though I'm a couple hours shy of the 72 wait time) while Sherry begins
refinishing wrestling with her rocker. The directions do suggest waiting a full week before sealing the edges, but having had our plan to share it this week already thwarted, we're determined to at least have it ready to share next Monday. We have guests scheduled for the weekend (because of my cousin's bridal shower) so it has to get done before Friday.
10:30 am-ish: Taking pictures along the way slows me down a little (trying to match lighting from the previous set of photos is a bit of a challenge), so it takes me this long to realize the 3/4″ trim that we bought isn't thick enough (looks cheap and flimsy). I hope Sherry disagrees and can convince me it's okay, but instead she comes to the same conclusion before I can even finish my sentence. Looks like a $5 college mirror (not that we didn't both have one of those back in the day). Sigh.
10:45 am: I duck out to Lowe's again to find thicker trim.
11:30 am: I'm back, thicker trim in hand. Clara's napping, so my mom has left. Sherry's busy responding to comments and I fight off deja vu as I measure, cut, and re-take pictures of my new trim process (which is why most of the previous photos were never used).
12:45 pm-ish: Thankfully I finish gluing the trim in place before Clara's up from her nap, meaning that I'm available to go on baby watching duty (instead of having to pull Sherry off of comment-responding duty since so many are coming in at once). Trim glue sets in place overnight.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25th:
11:30 am: Clara's down for her morning nap (once again) and Sherry's doing comments (once again), so I get a head start on cleaning the house before our weekend guests arrive the next day. I figure that it has been nearly the recommended 24 hours set time on the glue, so I'll "clean up" the sunroom by getting rid of the bathroom door that's been living in there nearly five whole days. I screw the door back onto its hinges and voila – we're done!
11:45 am: The excitement of having privacy returned to our bathroom makes me decide to take a shower (Clara naps are extremely valuable for squeezing these in).
11:55 am: Shower done. I'm dressed and on the computer responding to emails while Sherry takes a phone call in the living room. Then I hear "BAM!" followed by "poundpoundpoundpoundpound." I recognize the latter as Sherry's urgent footsteps. She informs me the former was the sound of the mirror falling. Sugar.
Noon: Fueled by frustration – both at myself for screwing up, and at the mirror gods for teaching me not to rush a project – I get right to scraping off the half-hardened glue from the mirror, door, and trim pieces. Scraping was a good way to release some anger, I'll admit.
1 pm: Mirror is re-glued (this time with feeling!) and we come to terms with the fact that we're just gonna have to let this thing set for a full week… and our sunroom's gonna have a half-completed bathroom door when our guests arrive (not to mention that there will be a doorless bathroom in our bedroom). Oh well, worse things have happened.
Hurricane Irene hits and our guests decide not to travel. Bummed we won't see them, but at least our chaos won't be on display to them… not that we had any electricity by which to see it anyways.
8 pm: Clara has gone to bed and our one-week-long timer is about 12 hours from going off. I hesitantly jump the gun a bit, but knowing that we'll be out of town over Labor Day weekend I have to get a head start. Plus, the sunroom is getting cramped with Sherry's office cabinet painting which is going on in there too. So with my glue supposedly set and some "security" nails placed around the edges, I lean the door up against the wall (almost vertical) with a pillow at the base of it as an "overnight test." I figure if the mirror is gonna fall again, the least it can do is fall before I bother with the trim a second time.
8 am: The mirror survived the night standing up, so I take pictures of the nail system now that it's light out again. I didn't bother photographing it earlier because I was still unsure if it would work and already had wasted enough time taking photos of things (the small trim cutting process) that wouldn't see the light of day.
11 am: With Sherry on comment duty and Clara napping (are you sensing a theme about when I get things done?) I lay the door back down and re-glue the trim.
8:30 pm – 10:30 pm: Being out of town for Labor Day forces us to let the trim glue set for a few days, but that means we can make progress when it comes to writing the post (since the project is nearly complete). While my siblings and I watch a movie at my parent's beach house, I sort and size all of the photos taken so far. Then I write the post, leaving spots for the after photos that we have yet to shoot.
11 am: Traffic got us home too late on Monday to do anything but unpack and fall asleep, so I use Tuesday morning to rehang the door. Sherry suggests that I take "after" pictures before it falls again (such a comedian, my wife) but (1) the light is bad due to the rain and (2) I want to be sure it survives a night before calling it a true success.
8 am: Victory! The door looks great in the morning, so I break out the tripod (it's rainy again, so not much light – I'll just have to do my best) and start snapping after pictures. Sherry plays with Clara until she becomes determined to
be in the photo stare at herself in the mirror.
9 am: After photos are taken and uploaded. I quickly size them and upload them into the post. Sherry trades me baby for computer, and gets right to proof-reading since we only have about an hour to go live.
10 am: The post is up. It's two and half week's later than planned, but at least it's up. Sherry camps out moderating comments for a couple of hours while I entertain Clara for another hour-ish before naptime.
11 am: Sherry's still responding to comments, so for me it's back to sizing pictures and writing another post, this time it's for the office desk top post (which was constructed and poly'd the afternoon before and is currently waiting to fully dry before it gets accessorized, photographed, and posted the next morning). The thing about sharing eight posts in five day's time is that we always have to have a few in progress, a few in the early planning stage, and of course the finished ones have to be written up and those comment questions need answers. So it's sort of like juggling eight balls… but in a fun no-day-is-ever-the-same way.
Admittedly that process was a bit more drawn out than a lot of our posts. Some are much quicker (like Sherry's butterfly art, which only took about twelve hours between beginning to posting) but that wouldn't have made for a very dramatic story, now would it? Conversely, some projects actually take longer (like our wall to wall desk or our patio or our laundry room – which is why we prefer to tackle them in stages and just share our progress along the way).
Was there anything that surprised you about what goes into a post? What do you do in your job or daily life that's more involved than some might think?

Just wanted to let ya'll know (and your blogiversary seems like a good time) that although I'm a new(ish) reader, I'm totally hooked. You have helped me gain the courage to try some DIY projects I'd been reluctant to do. We recently replaced the carpeting in our rental kitchen (yuck) with vinyl and it turned out great! I have a whole host of other projects in the works, inspired by you guys! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
I'm not surprised that you have several projects going on at the same time. That's exactly what we do. We have project ADD and we'll switch gears or I'll get an itch to create something and start on a project.
I think the more spontaneous blogging is a great way to go. Not only does it keep you the most up to date, but it's fun to see things progress, rather than waiting to see everything until the end.
Happy blogiversary!!
I never realized how much time and effort goes into your posts – I mean we all know it takes time to do it – but I think you guys have mastered the art of multi-tasking! There should be some kind of award for this, lol! I'm lucky I can handle two things at once.
Have a great weekend – and is anyone else on the east coast sick of RAIN RAIN RAIN? Please make it stop!
It might be "better netiquette" to have a new page open in the same window but I think it is MUCH better if it opens in a new window.
Often there is a link on the 2nd page that I want to click on and then another link on that page…. and the next thing you know you are lost and can't get back to the original page.
If the new page opens in a new window you can wander as much as you like but you still can get back to the original page.
I'm really loving all of the posts this week. It's so interesting to read how you guys handle doing so much all the time!
That mirror would probably have not survived my wrath, which likely would have led to cutting myself on a glass shard, which of course would have made me even angrier. Good job keeping your cool.
By the way the Layla & Kevin link isn't working. Don't know if that's on your end or theirs.
Yay! It works again.
It's amazing that you can essentially only really get things done when Clara's napping! When I read your posts I totally imagine that you two do each project together, all day long, smiling and taking photos. I didn't realize that so much of what you do is dependent on the other person doing something else at the same time! Fantastic teamwork, guys!
"She informs me the former was the sound of the mirror falling. Sugar."
Best line, because we all *know* that is totally not what you said/thought. As I was reading about the process I had to laugh because my inner super proper elegant woman was saying "mother f…." and "son of a bee sting" (name that movie). It wasn't even my project, yet I was thinking the same things that I often say when a project goes haywire like that for me.
It really can take that long. I'm with you on the blogging in (relatively) real time. If I did it any other way on my blog just wouldn't work.
I've tried blogging about my craft tutorials and such but no dice, I am just not good at it. But I think most of it is my time management. These post help really put it all into perspective. We are hoping to move into our 235ish year old farm house and I would love to blog about it all like you guys have! Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm sure y'all get this comment a lot, but you guys seem like you'd just be fun to hang out with. Enjoying this week's posts and graphs. Congrats on four great years.
i was just browsing on anthropologie, and saw these! They had Sherry written all over them. Christmas present maybe?
I just want to thank you for your great blog. I wait, impatiently, each day for your posts.
I think your conversational style is important in 'hooking' readers. I also appreciate that your projects are doable for those of us who can't afford mini mansions. You show us that it is possible to live well on modest means. Your self discipline not only in maintaining a smooth flow of posts but in making sure that you have covered all the bases for your's and Clara's future is to be admired.
I love organizing posts and would love to hear what books Clara is recommending. I have a granddaughter who is one month younger than Clara. Clara posts really help with gift buying ideas.
I used to dream of doing what you do, making a living blogging from home. Until this week. Now I'm just thankful for my 40 hour a week desk job. Because seriously, you work SO HARD. I mean, projects on a Sunday? I'm happy if I manage to change into real pants on a Sunday.
Thanks for this post. It's so easy to believe that my husband and I are the only one's who have small projects that take months to finish or have so many hiccups, especially when reading blogs or watching TV. It's refreshing to see we aren't the only ones.
I also just started a blog about organizing, so seeing the anatomy of your posts is quite helpful.
Like others– long time reader (3years?), rare commenter. I think I found your blog when I was googling something for a house project– then when we got engaged I read all about your backyard wedding. I love your personalities on this blog– so down to earth and dorky/fun. And I think it's especially neat for me as a 'newlywed' to "see" your partnership in action, and to see a generally positive one at that. Sometimes it feels like everyone expects us to be miserable now that we're married, so it's fun to see you two a few years ahead of us with baby in tow, still appearing to like each other :)
Any who, I originally was going to just say how fascinating this week's posts have been, including your descriptions of your daily activities with Clara. Love it! Also, I totally prefer the colorful twist of this house– I was never a beach house person, you know? Plus I think it's more challenging, since the default isn't white, and you have to juggle colors. Can't wait to see how it continues to evolve!!
That was a great play-by-play! I especially liked it because it started to feel like one of my home improvement projects (AKA there is always that "what was I thinking?" or "why didn't I read the directions???" moment in there somewhere).
What surprised me a little was realizing that sometimes the requirements for the week's posts actually dictate the projects that get done. You guys are so good at making the blogging part seem effortless it is easy to forget how much planning, timing, and strategy needs to go into it in order to give us a consistent reading experience every week.
On a side-note, thank you for introducing me to gravitar earlier in the week. Now I have my beloved "first taste of sand" pic to follow me around everywhere. /grin
So much work goes into your blogs – thanks for sharing. Also – your pinata idea from Clara party is on Tori Spelling blog today:)
she 'loves your blog'. of course! don't we all?
just look at all the celebrity circles you guys are making your way into :)
She copied your whole post though which is a super violation of netiquette. Maybe giving an intro and including one pic but using the entire post? Feeling very protective of my YHL friends! (See? We all really do imagine you're our friends.)
Congratulations on 4 great years! Love all the inspiration on your site – cannot wait to get out of this tiny apt. and decorate a *real house haha. Thanks for being awesome guys – we love to read your posts & *dream. :) P.S. stumbled on this on pinterest (best site ever) – paint chip art anyone? we saw the first idea and immediately thought of you guys – enjoy! http://www.diylife.com/2011/09/16/3-ways-to-upcycle-paint-samples-into-impressive-accents/
You just game me a brainstorm. My friend is decorating her nursery in a winnie the pooh theme. We picked out some disney colors from Home Depot to repaint a dresser… but maybe I will steal a few more chips and make decorations for her shower! Thank you!!!!!
I'm loving the Blogiversary posts! One question though, would you/did you post the results of the poll on this blog? I love polls, but every time FB asks for permission to access my information, I click cancel. ( Scary internets phobia, I guess.) I would really like to see the results :)
I think I've commented more this week than I have in the last two years! I've loved reading all the behind the scenes things this week. You guys have so much on your plate with Clara and the blog and you are AWESOME at both:) I think I speak for everyone when I say we totally appreciate all your hard work!! After reading about everything that goes into YHL, I hope you guys do find that balance between work and family/relaxation time…I actually feel bad commenting because of the billions of hours you have to spend approving them:) But at least you know you are loved!!
Dude – thanks for this. Super insightful. It's like a not-so-perfect house tour video in post form. Plus: props on the so fresh, so clean infographics.
All this time I thought to myself "how can they possibly get all this done with a baby!? I'm lucky if I can get 4 pieces of fabric for a quilt sewn together before my Little One wakes up…they build whole desks and refinish cabinets!"
I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but now that I know you guys don't blog in "real time", I feel much better about my 4 sad little pieces of quilt fabric (still sitting on the sewing table after 2 weeks by the way).
I am so impressed with your work ethic!
I think I'm going to get my husband to trim our $5 college mirror, we're only 1.5 years out of college not bad timing. BTW I was wondering if you guys knew how to paint over veneer. I bought a bookshelf at Ikea and would like it to be a grayish color, like the beams in your living room. I want the woodgrain to show through. Now I know particle board and veneer is not ideal, but do you have any suggestions? Google has failed me.
Love how when I started reading this there was 1 comment…by the time I finished, 64. I bet it's over 100 before I finish typing this…insanity! I now know why Sherry spends hours "monitoring" comments…whew!
You guys totally have the skillz that pay the billz!

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett along with Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts were among the A-listers that sparkled on the 86th Annual Academy Awards red carpet thanks to their eye-catching accessories -- but what happens to those pricey jewels when the show's over?
Cate Blanchett rocked a nude-colored Armani gown with gorgeous opal earnings. But when asked if she got to keep the wardrobe, the 44-year-old Blue Jasmine star admitted, "I don't think so. I think everything goes back at midnight. It's a Cinderella moment."

Kate Hudson, 34, donned a silver Versace gown that floored Elle creative director Joe Zee, who was on the red carpet alongside ET's Nancy O'Dell.
Unlike Blanchett, Hudson said she actually got the keep the dress, but the "bling" has to go back at the end of the night.
Meanwhile, Oscar nominee Julia Roberts walked the red carpet sporting Bulgari earrings, but even the Pretty Woman herself confessed that she doesn't get to take home the shinning stones.
"I'm pretty sure there is a man somewhere who is going to be waiting for these," said the 46-year-old August: Osage County star, laughing.

need a shade-loving small tree or shrub
Hi all. I'd like to plant a small tree or shrub (not above 8ft tall or so) to plant in my side yard in front of my kitchen window. The space is about 8 ft wide by 20 feet long and the long dimension is on roughly on a north/south axis. It's shaded on the east by my neighbor's tall evergreens and only gets an hour or so of late afternoon sun before being shaded by my house. The rest of the time the space is quite shady. I'd really like to grow something here so I can hang a feeder and have some birds to look at while I wash the dishes. I live in Baltimore City, and I'm only planting things that are native to the mid-Atlantic. I've browsed around on gardening sites and nursery catalogs, but have so far only found things listed as 'shade tolerant' and I really want something that would thrive here. (I do plan to plant some native shade-loving wildflowers eventually as well.) Any suggestions? Thanks!
Shade tolerant means that it will grow there but perhaps not perform as well as it could (e.g., BLOOM). If you are wanting a flowering shrub/tree, then you might have a hard time satisfying your desire.
Two shrubs to consider: Viburnum acerifolium and Calycanthus floridus. Both of them can be shaped/pruned to resemble more of a small tree - you would certainly want to buy as large a plant as you can so that it is already good sized; given the shade, you would not expect to see any rapid growth after you plant it, I expect it would grow slowly.
A plant that has been good for me but that is not native to the mid-Atlantic: Illicium floridanum. You'd also have to make sure that it would be hardy for you. It is hardy to zone 7 and is evergreen for me in the Atlanta area.
There are few, perhaps no, shrubs native to the mid-Atlantic that actually grow better in deep shade than in the sun. All shrubs I can think of grow better with more sun, and I can't think of any shrub that won't tolerate full sun when grown in its native range. Some shrubs wouldn't do well in dry, hot, windy locations, but given suitable soil and enough moisture, I think all would grow fastest, bloom best, and in general grow best with full sun. I think that is why you see shrubs described as "shade tolerant" - they tolerate shade but will do better in sun. Shade tolerant is the strongest endorsement a shrub can receive with regard to growing OK in the shade.
Of course there are lots of shrubs that will grow fine in shade. Great Rhododendron commonly grows in very shade places, and will even bloom in the shade. I think that is a good choice. As for the feeder, I'd put post in the ground to hold the feeder, and have the shrub nearby for cover. It will be a few years before a shrub is large and sturdy enough to hold up a feeder, which should be four or five feet off the ground, since there are certainly lots of cats in your neighborhood.
I don't think you could go wrong with either Pagoda Dogwood, Cornus alternifolia or one of the Witch Hazels. The naruve Hamaemelis (?)virginian grows in the woods. If you have sky shine either one would do great. With the dogwood you will have a lot of bird feedingfor a short time.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — In an upset for the ages, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-most powerful man in the House, was dethroned Tuesday by a little-known, tea party-backed Republican primary challenger carried to victory on a wave of public anger over calls for looser immigration laws.
"This is a miracle from God that just happened," exulted David Brat, an economics professor, as his victory became clear in the congressional district around Virginia's capital city.
Speaking to downcast supporters, Cantor conceded, "Obviously we came up short" in a bid for renomination to an eighth term.
The victory was by far the biggest of the 2014 campaign season for tea party forces, although last week they forced veteran Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran into a June 24 runoff, and hope state Sen. Chris McDaniel can prevail then.
Cantor's defeat was the first primary setback for a senior leader in Congress in recent years. Former House Speaker Thomas Foley of Washington and Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota both lost their seats at the polls in the past two decades, but they fell to Republicans, not to challengers from within their own parties.
The outcome may well mark the end of Cantor's political career, and aides did not respond Tuesday night when asked if the majority leader, 51, would run a write-in campaign in the fall.
But its impact on the fate of immigration legislation in the current Congress seemed clearer still. Conservatives will now be emboldened in their opposition to legislation to create a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally, and party leaders who are more sympathetic to such legislation will likely be less willing to try.
The majority leader had been tugged by two warring forces in his party and in recent weeks sought to emphasize his opposition to far-reaching immigration legislation as Brat's challenge gained force. Last month, a feisty crowd of Brat supporters booed Cantor in front of his family at a local party convention.
Still, neither he nor other House leaders betrayed any serious concern that his tenure was in danger, and his allies leaked a private poll in recent days that claimed he had a comfortable lead over Brat.
In the end, despite help from establishment groups, Cantor's repudiation was complete in an area that first sent him to Congress in 2000.
With votes counted in 99 percent of the precincts, 64,418 votes were cast, roughly a 37 percent increase over two years ago.
Despite that, Cantor polled fewer votes than he did in 2012 — 28,631 this time, compared with 37,369 then.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, issued a statement hailing Cantor as "a good friend and a great leader, and someone I've come to rely upon on a daily basis as we make the tough choices that come with governing."
It was unclear if Cantor intended to remain in his leadership post for the duration of the year or who might replace him in the new Congress if Republicans hold their majority.
Democrats seized on the upset as evidence that their fight for House control this fall is far from over.

I'm still kind of baffled how big the Kelvin was, as it was supposed to have been built in the pre-timestream-split prime universe and there has never been any evidence in any iteration of canonical Trek that Starfleet built ships that big during that era. THIS almost implies that there may have been a split prior to Nero's arrival.
Depends on your perspective. If you want to believe that the AltVerse was always different from the start, you can use that to support that theory.
But, if you want to go with what was said by the writers, director, and in the film itself (that the divergence began with the Narada's entrance to the AltVerse and attack on the Kelvin), then you can say that the Kelvin was an experimental testbed unlike any other contemporary and more conventional TOS-type starship at the time, testing out a new larger hull, a new brewgineering and enhanced warp drive, new bridge control systems, new shuttles, etc. Once it held up as reasonably as could be expected against the massive and powerful new threat posed by the Narada, Starfleet decided to model its subsequent starships on that design (and with specs reverse engineered from the Narada recordings) in an arms race against this new type of Romulan ship. They had no idea it was a rogue ship from an alternate future at first, they probably just thought it was an incredibly advanced new Romulan design.

Nice, but I'm stuck This app displays excellent technical info about my galaxy tab 4 and Sony xperia miro. BUT on the storage display of the galaxy I pressed the SD card icon and now don't see a way to get back to the original setting. :(
HTC Desire 820 is octa core processor HTC Desire 820 is otca core processor but it is showing only 4 processors performance.no record option to record the usage to know the usage of game or app.
very good app. it would be even better if you could add different polling rate options, gpu monitoring (after gpu is enabled in developer's settings), display power consumption and many system voltages.
Too good, lah! Every possible detail about your CPU and processes
So much good info, with a clean and intuitive design

CPU Monitor Advanced - FREE with Ads
You can use the information stored over time to identify trends in application behavior and to identify processes that utilize too many resources over a period of time.
Find out what is slowing down your Android device!
Unlike other tools, CPU Monitor Advanced FREE is an expert technical app which records historical information about processes running on your device. You can configure the length of the information capture. You can store and review up to 100 captures.
CPU Monitor Advanced FREE will even automatically begin recording information when an application exceed the set thresholds for CPU over a specified time interval.
You can use the information stored over time to identify trends in application behavior and to identify processes that utilize too many resources over a period of time.
CPU Monitor Advanced Edition is capable of manual and automatic captures or snapshots. The app can automatically start a snapshot capture of what processes are running and what amount of resources they are consuming.
The app also allows you to graph each process captured in the snapshot and you can graph the CPU, the memory and the battery drain.
The app also allows you to kill the process as well as O/S processes if your phone is rooted, otherwise it will kill only user processes.
The app only uses about 4% of the phone's CPU to run in background monitoring mode and about 8% when capturing data.
CPU Monitor Advanced FREE will help you identify processes which slow down your phone over time.

SystemPanelLite Task Manager
SystemPanel Lite integrates a task manager, system monitor, and detailed device information.
See website for more info screenshots.
Why does CPU #2 appear "grayed out" on my dual-core device?
Why does it require the ______ permission?
Does SystemPanel Lite consume battery?
Does SystemPanel automatically kill tasks in the background?
No ads.
Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.
See website for more info screenshots.
-- Frequently Asked Questions --
Why does CPU #2 appear "grayed out" on my dual-core device?
- A grayed out second CPU indicator indicates the second core is asleep to save battery. This is generally a good thing, it will turn back on when needed.
Why does it require the ______ permission?
- SystemPanel does require a fair number of permissions in order to be able to perform all of its duties. This product DOES NOT send ANY information from your device over the Internet to ANYONE. It requires the "Internet access" and "telephony/read phone state" permissions only to monitor and display the device's network connectivity state. A full description of why each permission is required can be found in the SystemPanel FAQ on our web site.
Does SystemPanel Lite consume battery?
- SystemPanel Lite does not run in the background in any capacity. The full version includes an optional "monitoring service" which uses about one minute of CPU time per day to record the CPU usage of other applications (though it is disabled by default). This feature is not found in the Lite version though.
Does SystemPanel automatically kill tasks in the background?
- No, SystemPanel is not an automatic task killer. It has been well-established (by the Android documentation and direct communication with the Android engineers) that randomly or periodically terminating arbitrary tasks in the interest of saving memory will NOT yield a benefit in performance or battery life. The only benefit you will see from an automatic task killer is if it happens to terminate misbehaving apps. The full version of SystemPanel provides a better solution to this problem by showing you which apps are consuming CPU in the background (over time) with the "System Monitor" feature. It is then recommended that such applications be reconfigured or uninstalled (or perhaps corrected by filing a bug with the offending application's author).
A much more extensive FAQ is available on our web site.
Please visit our web site at http://android.nextapp.com for more information, including a complete screenshot tour of the product.

Permissions described below.
! Unlike some other app, u can see graphs for longer period (period length can be chosen), other app show graphs only since that app is started and is visible to user. MKSysMon is different... MK System monitor can do much more ! It gathers data on background, so anytime u return to SysMon, u will see ALL data for whole selected period. Support multi-core devices.CPU1 is shown with red color, CPU2 is shown with yellow. NOTE: graph for CPU2 might not be fluent, in fact only dots and short lines in time may be shown because CPU2 is running for shorties necessary time, sometimes it runs even for a simple second!
NOTE: SysMon gathers CPU / memory and network traffic data on the background using background service and thus this service consumes a bit of CPU power + battery. Remember you can end SysMon ANYTIME by clicking on Exit to save CPU/battery and restart it anytime from your Home launcher or list of installed application.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - allows MKSysMon to be started after device reboot
GET_TASK - allows to read all running processes
KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES - allows killing of processes
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - logging of gathered data android.permission.INTERNET + android.permission.
Ads support - buy MKSysMon Ads remove app to stop showing Ads

---Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)---
Q. I've got a quad core device. Why don't I see all four cores being used?
A. Android tries to optimise the CPU usage, by shutting down cores when they're not needed. Your phone will rarely use all 4 cores. Try downloading a CPU Stress Test app, and you'll see the four cores then :)
+ SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - Required to create a system-wide overlay for the monitor on edge of screen
+ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Required for the auto-start feature
+ INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Used for error reporting, and anonymous usage reporting using Google Analytics.
Note: No personal information is collected or transmitted. We don't know what brand of toothpaste you use. Your IP address may be stored by Google Analytics, but this is never used to do nasty stuff. We promise.

3 - Customisation: you can choose different clock sizes, colors, background colors, filter notifications, and more!

Only one woman can save vamp city . . .
One of the few humans who managed to escape the deadly twilight world of Vamp City, Quinn Lennox vows never to return. But the vampires want her back, for only she has the power to renew the magic of their crumbling world and free the vampires trapped within.
When the dangerous and all-too-seductive Arturo Mazza comes for her, Quinn knows she can never trust him after the betrayal she suffered at his hands. But with her beloved brother's fate hanging in the balance, and her own power beginning to emerge, she chooses to risk all on yet another perilous journey back to Vamp City. And though she tries to deny it, her heart begins to hold hope that even a ruthless vampire can learn the meaning of true love . . .
