I keep a little book in my purse at all times. It may be a stretch to call it an art journal, although it always has a little art in it. It is my catch-all, my notebook, my sketchbook, where I write down my to-do lists and phone numbers and dates before they get into my computer. More and more there is evidence of Bean in my books – her stickers, her lines, her drawings, sometimes the things she brings me to draw, if she catches me sketching.
These books are my grounding, my reminder that I am here, I am not lost, I have dreams and ideas and curiosities. Sitting down with my book and a pen or a brush is my easiest, most common form of self care. Here are some peeks inside those pages.
These next few pages come from a larger book I keep in my studio. It is messier, painty-er and where I experiment. In these pages I am finding my way back to myself as an artist.

Department of Journalism
Journalism students at Boston University combine a solid liberal arts background with pre-professional education to prepare for careers as writers, reporters, editors, and producers for a variety of media. Journalism majors therefore take a majority of their courses in disciplines outside COM (usually in the College of Arts & Sciences).
The department provides undergraduates with the opportunity to study journalism in its broadest aspects: its history and literature; its laws, regulations, and ethics; its traditional role as a motivator and critic of government in a dynamic, democratic society; and its total effect as a social and economic institution. In addition, students acquire professional skill training, including: reporting, feature and editorial writing, editing, producing, news selection, photography, multimedia and interactive publishing, and media management. Boston, as the state capital and a recognized cultural, financial, media, educational, and scientific center, provides special opportunities for the training of journalists.
Students earning a BS in Journalism will have the opportunity to earn experience in a variety of forms: print, online, broadcast, and visual. Students are urged to select coursework from multiple disciplines for a more balanced education.
Washington Journalism Center
The Washington Journalism Center offers senior journalism and graduate students the chance to spend a semester in Washington, DC, working in the bureaus of national news organizations, reporting on Congress and the federal government for New England news outlets, and studying political reporting. In addition to a course in political reporting, seminars on the legislative process, money and politics, and political feature writing are offered by national journalists. Students are provided with internships in the DC bureaus of news organizations. They also serve as the Washington correspondents for New England news outlets through the Boston University Washington News Service, which has a newsroom equipped with state-of-the-art television and radio equipment in the Boston University Washington Center on Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn 16 credits.
New England Center for Investigative Reporting
The New England Center for Investigative Reporting at Boston University (NECIR–BU) provides students with opportunities to work on investigative journalism projects with some of the most skilled professionals in the industry. The primary goals of NECIR-BU are to produce high-quality, high-impact investigative reports; train the next generation of investigative reporters; serve as a platform for experimenting with how to effectively deliver long-form investigative content to a digital audience; and be a model for nonprofit, multimedia, investigative journalism that could be duplicated nationwide. NECIR-BU's reporting reaches millions of people through reports appearing in boston.com, the Boston Globe, New England Cable News, and WBUR (NPR).
Broadcast and Cable Opportunities
The College of Communication is committed to offering students academic and professional opportunities in the newest communication technologies. The College has joined with the Boston Cable Access and Programming Foundation to produce Neighborhood Network News, a nightly evening newscast made available to more than 300,000 potential cable viewing households in Boston. A fully equipped broadcast journalism newsroom and a production studio are located in COM. Students work closely with professional staff to write, edit, report, and produce the newscast.
Internship Program
In conjunction with New England media, the department has developed an extensive internship program for journalism majors.
See the program page for details.
The Department of Journalism offers MS programs in Journalism, Broadcast Journalism, Business & Economics Journalism, and Science Journalism. All four programs are designed to produce graduates trained to analyze and explain the complex events of our times as well as raise journalistic standards in all media.
Graduate students have opportunities to pursue a specific area of interest. They work with an adviser to design specializations in politics, photojournalism, sports, magazine journalism, foreign reporting, or other areas. A range of interests can be explored with the help of University faculty and other resources during this additional semester, including further enhancement of skills they have gained through previous journalism courses, such as multimedia, magazine, radio, and—of course—writing.
Journalism students at Boston University learn about the profession by covering local, state, and national government as well as various political, business, and cultural activities. Assignments are under the direction of experienced, accomplished journalists who are current or recent leaders in professional journalism.
The College of Communication ensures not only that students will be trained by the best faculty, but also that they will have the latest technology at their fingertips—for example, computer-assisted reporting and courses on the Internet and website production. The radio facility features the latest in digital editing and audio equipment and is home to WTBU and www.wtburadio.org, a student-run radio station that airs regular newscasts, talk shows, and a wide variety of music. Broadcast students also have two fully equipped television studios, one of which is set up for news production, complete with digital editing suites. Participation in BUTV, our in-house television production company, is encouraged. BUTV produces a wide range of television shows that air on local cable networks.
Journalism students have the opportunity to contribute to a number of student magazines, other publications, and the award-winning daily student newspaper, the Daily Free Press.
Minor in Journalism
The Minor in Journalism is open to all BU undergraduate students, including COM students. Current COM students may minor in a department other than their declared department within COM.
Students wishing to enroll in the COM minor must first complete COM CO 201, Introduction to Communication Writing, with a grade of C or better. The participating COM department must sign off on the COM Minor Form. The student would then take that form to their home school (Student Services, Room 123 for COM students). Please go to the COM Student Services website for more information and required courses.

Brewer returns to Timberwolves a 'different player'
MINNEAPOLIS — Corey Brewer has tried everything in his career to put some weight on his 6-foot-8 frame.
He has lifted weights, changed his diet, even indulged in deep fried Snickers bars at the Minnesota State Fair early in his career to try to add a little bit of bulk to a comically skinny body.

I brewed my pumpkin ale about 4 weeks ago, it was in the primary 2 weeks, then I transferred to a carboy. I didn't take into consideration the massive amount of trub there would be and I ended up with only about 4 gallons of beer. I don't want to overcarb the beer so I'm looking for advice on how much sugar I should use to prime.
On a related note, could I prime this with brown sugar? If so, I'd appreciate any suggestions or tips on that. Thanks everyone!
Generally speaking, it is about 1 oz/gallon of beer. So rather than 5 oz for 5 gallons you would use 4. That's for corn sugar.
Yes you can use brown sugar, it's really good in pumpkin beers. Gives a a nice flavor right at the first sip.

With proper paint choices on your side, it is very easy to make your house the talk of the neighborhood. If you live in a neighborhood without too many rules and regulations on the house painting, it is possible for you to add bold and exquisite finishes on your home through professional house painting services provided by the painters Gold Coast trust for the unique and professional services.
When it comes to exterior house painting, it is important to give it a very careful thought. Interior painting and decorations will only affect you and your family but exterior house painting will affect the whole street or the whole immediate neighborhood where your house is situated. Because of this, homeowners generally have a lot of pressure when choosing the color palettes for the exterior of their homes. While you may want to impose your sense of style and taste in the painting, at the same time, you do not want to deviate too much from the painting or styling of the neighborhood otherwise your house will be an eyesore and you may get some unpleasant stares from your neighbors.
Professional painters Gold Coast provider can offer you advice on the best color palettes to choose but if you want to choose the colors on your own, there are certain considerations that you may want to take a look at. Apart from the overall neighborhood thing, there are many other issues that you will need to deal with when it comes to the exterior house painting such as the landscaping, the hardscaping, the roofing of the house and much more. When it comes to exterior house-painting, you will therefore be looking at several factors in a holistic manner in order for you to realize the perfect kind paint that blends naturally with your surroundings.
Here are some simple tips that you can follow in order for you to choose the right kind of color scheme that will blend easily with both your style as well as the immediate surroundings where you live:
Plan based on the elements in the house and surroundings that are hardest to change
When it comes to planning for the exterior color palette, it is important for you to look at those elements that you cannot change easily and then plan your color palette based on these. These elements can include the tiling, driveways, pathways and stonework. These are the elements that will remain in place even after you have painted the house unless you are doing a complete renovation of the house. You must therefore put these firmly into consideration when you are planning your house painting.
Look at the era and architectural style
The era in which your home was built and the architectural style of the home are also important consideration when you are planning the house painting. There are various kinds of architectural styles available such as the Victorian style, the federal style, colonial or midcentury styles amongst others. Whatever your home style, it is important to ensure that the exterior paint scheme that you choose is appropriate for this kind of style. Some house painters Gold Coast professionals can offer you a palette of historically accurate colors from which you can easily choose the appropriate style for your homes.
Consider the visual effect that you wish to project
Before choosing a color palette, take your time to think about the effect that you wish to project with your home on the landscape as well as the street. Bright colors generally make your home stand out while the duller colors will make it recede into the background.

(…) Cream was inducted, which was a kind of brain twist: I got to watch two of my most important influences [Sly Stone was there as well – PJ] and think about the way that I had built Funkadelic on the intersection between their two bands. Jimi Hendrix had it right when he said that Cream was quitting just as everybody else was getting started. I also got to watch how a band acted when they put old rivalries and infighting behind them.

George Clinton (72) on Quitting Drugs (plus new European Tour Dates)14. Juni 2014
From the keynote interview at the Ibiza International Music Summit (May 2014)
Craig McLean (at 24:42): Did you get paid for all these samples?
George Clinton: Nooo … that's what made me stop doing drugs. You can not be fucked up and not expect things to be fucked up, too. I'm saying that it took me 72 years to find that out. Plus: The drugs was no good. Wasn't even good drugs by the time, you know. Then I realized; Damn, I'm not even high; plus, they done took all my money.
"Eminent Hipsters": Grouchy Donald Fagen Slams TV Babies and Coco Chanel ("She F*cked Igor Strawinsky Into a Reactionary Spin!")17. November 2013
I had lots of fun listening to emusic's audio book version of Donald Fagen's "Eminent Hipsters", read by himself. It is not a regular autobiography but a collection of articles, "from portraits of the cultural figures and currents that shaped him as a youth to an account of his college days and of life on the road" (publisher's description). The book is both insightful and hilarious.
The main piece is a grouchy diary of a The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue tour Steely Dan's Donald Fagen did with Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs from 2010. Favorite quote: "By the way, I'm not posting this journal on the Internet. Why should I let you lazy, spoiled TV Babies read it for nothing in the same way you download all those songs my partner and I sacrificed our entire youth to write and record, not to mention the miserable, friendless childhoods we endured that left us with lifelong feelings of shame and self-reproach we were forced to countervail with a fragile grandiosity and a need to constantly prove our self-worth — in short, with the sort of personality disorders that ultimately turned us into performing monkeys?"

R.I.P., Garry Shider! (Interview from the New Funk Times Archive)17. Juni 2010
P.Funk won't ever be the same again: Yesterday, Garry Shider (56) lost his battle against lung and brain cancer (see reports by The Star Ledger and Rolling Stone). I have known Garry and Linda, his wife of 32 years, for about 25 years – one of our first meetings took place at George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic's legendary live Rockpalast broadcast from St. Goarshausen/Germany (watch the video clip below, featuring Dennis Chambers, Eddie Hazel, Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton, and Rodney "Skeet" Curtis).
I once even acted as his 'fashion consultant' ;-) : On P.Funk's 1986 "Saturday Night Live" performance, Garry wore a jacket I selected while clothes-shopping with George Clinton. You can see a picture in this blog entry.
When I published the official P.Funk newsletter New Funk Times from the late '80s to the early '90s, I did several interviews with Garry. One of them took place at his house in Atlanta/Georgia in 1989. I'm reposting it as tribute to this great vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, arranger, producer and overall funky human being.
"We're not gonna ever quit, man, I wanna be old and in my grave, still funking!" (Garry Shider in 1989)
Funky Luftbrücke from New Orleans nach Hamburg22. Januar 2010
Wenn Moderatoren im Radio ihre Hörer grüßen, assoziiere ich das eher mit NDR-2-Sendungen, in denen Oma Martha den Enkeln, die nie anrufen, trotzdem alles Liebe wünscht. Kürzlich jedoch durfte ich mich selbst über einen solchen Gruß freuen – wobei die Freude besonders groß war, da sich hier eine meiner ältesten Passionen, nämlich Old-School-Funk, mit diesem neuen weltweiten Datennetz verband, von dem man heute so viel hört.
Sooo neu ist das natürlich nicht, denn per elektronischer Post habe ich seit Mitte der 90er Jahre Kontakt mit Melissa A. Weber (aka DJ Soul Sister), einer afroamerikanischen DJane in New Orleans. Sie und ich betrieben damals Websites, die sich um unsere Lieblingsmusik drehten: P-Funk (George Clinton / Parliament / Funkadelic / Bootsy Collins & Co.).
George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic on Saturday Night Live (1986)15. September 2009
IMHO, this is one of the best P.Funk performances ever shown on TV:
This video brings back very nice memories:
The Saturday Night Live show took place a few weeks after I did my George Clinton home story (here's the German version).
The Funky Farmer: George Clinton Home Story (1986)27. Mai 2009
This is the English translation of a George Clinton home story which I did in 1986 when I was working as a music journalist (original German version):
One morning at 5 a.m. on the funky farm: sputter – sputter – zang – boom – crash. Strange sounds are emanating from the hall. A few minutes later George Clinton stands in the living room: "Damn, not even 4000 points! When I'm that bad, I know that it's time to quit. Good night!" A last disappointed look at the Galaxian video game, and Clinton disappears into the bedroom. In the neighborhood the first cocks are crowing.

Latinoware 2010
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
I am at Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, attending a conference called Latinoware. Of course I am seeing a few old friends and many new ones, but I am also happy to report that the facilities for Latinoware, which is held on the grounds of the Itaipu hydro-electric plant, have been upgraded to be a very comfortable conference facility. There is a good-size exhibition hall, many different rooms for the different talks, and is well laid out.
The conference attendees are even more diverse this year than past years, with people from Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay and other South American countries.
Early (for me) in the morning I attended a great talk on the Arduino given by my friend Álvaro Justen,
and even though the talk was in Portuguese, I still managed to understand quite a bit and learned a thing or two. I also got to see some different Arduino units that I had only read about or seen on the Internet. Álvaro braved to do something that I would not normally do, which was to pull a small robot out of a box, and actually have it run during his presentation. This might not have been so breathtaking, but the robot consisted of a Wii controller, a breadboard with wires stuck into (and falling out) of it, and a mechanical "drive" made up of a speaker that could "squeak" and two motors just barely stayed attached to two wheels.
In fact one wheel kept falling off, but Álvaro kept putting it back on. Álvaro had to reposition several of the wires and then tape them down with scotch tape in order to keep them in place while the robot was working. It definitely looked like a "hack".....but it worked.
The rest of the day I spent talking to people about Project Caua, autographing Linux(Pro)Magazines at the Linux New Media booth and working on this blog.
Tomorrow I am going to make sure I see the talk by Doug McIlroy, the person credited with the development of pipes and filters and the concept of macros. I have known Doug personally for a couple of years, and he is both a distinguished computer scientist and a really nice guy.

MY Recommendations
"I first met Brian at the local Apple store, when he helped me with some transition problems to my new laptop. He's incredibly knowledgable. He's my 'go to' person whenever I have questions about any of my systems. But more than that, Brian is super bright and personable. He would be a great asset to any organization, not just the Genius bar. I can highly recommend him"
Keri Pearlson - KP Partners
"Brian is a pleasure to work with. I enjoy coming to work and seeing his smiling face! I can also rely on him to be responsible with whatever task I give to him. He works with clients with a professional and calm demeanor. Intelligent and kind."
Tara French - Team Manager at AppleCare / Enterprise
"Brian, from the moment I met him, showed an indomitable willingness to learn and to grow. His ambition was only matched by his kindness, his positivity, and his willingness to help those around him. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent working with him, and I know that he would be a valuable asset to any team that's lucky enough to have him."
Sam Cooke - Training Program Manager at Apple, Inc.
"Brian came to me to move from Apple Retail to Apple Corporate in our worldwide call center. He was poised, professional, and energetic at his interview. I knew from that moment he was an amazing talent I needed to secure. I hired him within a week. Upon agreeing to the role, he embraced the opportunity like I've never seen anyone before. He received little training in the role due to him joining the team mid-cycle. Normally this…"

Undercabinet lighting...HELP quickly please!
I have to decide by tomorrow what type of undercabinet lighting I want in our new build. Didn't realize there were so many choices!
The lady that helped me pick out countertops, cab stain, flooring, etc, mentioned that flourescent can really change the look/color of a tile backsplash. I found a backsplash tile I liked, then she showed me a pic of a kitchen they did with that tile with flourescent lights and it really made it look different!
So my choices are flourescent, halogen, LED, or Xenon..strips, hardwired (not low voltage, thats all I know!). Anyone out there have any advice, info, or suggestions? I know there are differences, but I've just gotten more confused in my research here tonight...heat output, light "color", energy usage, cost, etc. Are there pros/cons with each one I should consider. What exactly are the differences?
I'd just like something that puts out a true light that won't change the color look of my backsplash tile (which I haven't chosen, and won't be doing for a while, but I want to be prepared). And pretty sure I want it dimmable for at night, and not something that is going to get really warm.
FYI..I don't have any windows in my kitchen...if that makes a difference. But we do have can lighting in there, and rail/pendants over the island, and it is open to the dining and livingroom that has plenty of lighting, and alot of natural light coming in.
If anyone here is able to tell me what they chose and why, whether you like it or not or would recommend it that would be great. Pics would be good.
Disclosure...I know NOTHING about lighting and electricity...so please keep it simple for me! haha...Thanks!
The following may be helpful. For simplicity, use direct wire led lights. The last message in the linked thread has a link to the UniLume light bars.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ucl continuation

Well worth the effort.
A week ago, I flew to Las Vegas for work and rented an R1200GS with well-used Tourances from Las Vegas BMW and rode to Death Valley for two days of riding. I met a friend at Stovepipe Wells on his TKC-clad R1200GS. We covered about about 100 miles of gravel including a ride to "Racetrack" and the "West" road that parallels along Bad Water.
The views and riding were outstanding. On the rental bike, I was a little nervous in some of the sand and had to be helped through a gulley but it was otherwise fine. For a noob, I think a KTM 640 or KLR 650 would be perfect. Or a 12GS with good tires.
(A lot of those images look familiar and I apparently missed some cool stuff too).
By the way, I will return to Las Vegas BMW. The staff were great, the pricing was fair, and the pretty blonde behind the counter smiled at my ugly mug.

Ok here's the deal...
I currently have a chest freezer that I use as a kegerator and a fermenter. I have a dilemma, I have a batch fermenting now (about a week) but I have friends coming over tomorrow night and they want to drink the ESB we brewed about a month ago (kegged and sitting at room temp).
I have 20 pounds of ice in my kitchen freezer. What would be the best plan of action...
A. Leave the batch in the fermenter and let it keep fermenting, and put the keg on ice and water and hope it will be cold enough for tomorrow night.
B. Pull the carboy out and stick in a bin of ice water and let it finish there, then crank the freezer down to serving temp and hope the keg gets cold enough.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
BTw way... how long would it take to bring a room temp (78 degrees) keg to serving temp(45 degrees) using either methods?
I would leave everything as it is, then about two hours before your friends come over completely submerge the keg in a solution of water, salt, and ice. That puppy will cool down in no time, I promise.

Liberator Doppelbock
Yellow Marmot Ale (Golden Ale) | WLP001
Yellow Marmot Ale (Golden Ale) | WLP028UPCOMING: Premium Bitter, Imperial Steam Beer, Strong Scotch Ale, Munich Helles, Schwartz Bier, Rauch Bier
How much water, ice and salt would you use?
Of the to of my head, I don't know. I would completely cover the keg in ice, however much that takes. Then add water till it is completely submerged (make sure the water is cold). Then take some cheap salt and pour it in and mix till the ice starts melting. This will allow it to be completely covered in 32F (or colder?) water. The SS on the keg will cool very rapidly.
You can cool a 12oz bottle of beer down in this same manner in under 2 min!
Cool... thanks
You don't even need the salt. I did this last weekend when I needed to cool a keg from room temp quickly. I submerged it in ice water for 3 hours and it was at about 40 degrees when I served it.
I'm way lazy. I'd put the keg in the kegerator, and pull the fermenter out. It'd be cold by tomorrow, and no ice/water/salt work involved.
i'd go with ideah A. but no salt is needed with enough time. only need salt if you want to cool the keg real quik or real cold (freezing). 1-2 hours is plenty time in ice and water alone to get it cold.
If you were up near yooper you could probably just put it outside overnight
