Considering buying J3 - need some help
I have looked at a lot of threads and have almost decided on buying J3 for Christmas. There are a few questions on my mind though.
After looking at a lot of places I have seen a few problems occurring again and again for some people.
1. Screen coming lose - is the build quality on this PMP really that bad?
2. Battery issues - these seem to be random and most people seem to get good battery.
3. Bricking - a more serious issue.
Now my question is - in case of any of these problems, what are my options. I will be buying this from amazon. Has anyone had any problems with amazon about this? If I have there problems and continue to have them, can I return the player and get my money back (within the 1 year warranty period of course).
I am also considering buying a good pair of headphones. Can someone please suggest good in ears below $100? The Kplisch image s4 look good.

1 year warranty doesnt mean you get money back, it means Cowon will repair or replace your player for a new one. Youre reading too deep into the negatives, the J3 is a great player, if you find an issue within the first week or so just have it replaced.

Err - I made a mistake. I meant return within 1 year or get money back (within the first ~30 days or whatever amazon gives).
As I said, I am almost certain about buying this but the negatives are popping up everywhere.
You can find negatives about any player, ipod, sansa, sony, samsung, the list goes on many peeps post about their problems/issues rather than the good aspects. Ive had a cowon over 3 years now and its still rocking and my second cowon is close to a year now and its still rocking, both without any issues and if I had the money right now Id go for a j3 no problem but in the end the decision is all yours.

You won't find people posting "my player is fine" as much as you find them posting when they have issues with it. That being said, my J3 is perfectly fine in every way. Same as with any other quality brand, it's probably less than 1% of all people that have issues, but looking through forums of course distorts those statistics.
in modern times mass produced products/devices are prone to defects failures. and people generally are better at complaining about failures than acknowledging good things.
yes, there are several people complaining about the screen coming loose.
if you are one of those unlucky persons: just rma it and get it fixed for free.
there are no battery issues, at least that i know. there were some guys who either didn't charge the player correctly or didn't know that lithium batteries need some charging cycles to get to full capacity. that's why apple products are fully charged from the beginning (afaik). if your battery is defective though, and this might happen as it is just another mass produced product, you simply rma it.
the thing about bricking tends to be either carelessness (not safely ejecting the player, although modern usb-fed devices are resistant to unsafe remove) or connecting it with a mac when it isn't really compatible. i partly blame cowon for stating it is fully compatible and macos for writing ghost files on every fucking device it encounters/is able to write on. those ghost might not be deleted by macos and the cowon sw/fw can't handle it and bricks. most of the time you can unbrick it by formatting the drive or deleting the ghost files.
i guess not to connecting it to an apple computer/device at all would be the best thing to do, though. ;-)

The player is obviously great. I don't think I will have problems with mac since I don't own/use one.
Any Linux users around? I use Arch 99.99% of the time. If this works on Linux then I won't need reboots every time I want to transfer music.

It could be that Linux also puts garbage files on the player, such as .Trash-*/ and similar - but only OS X garbage files such as .DS_Store seem to harm the J3. Haven't read about any Linux issues yet.
Regarding Amazon, if you are unlucky enough to return one faulty unit and the second one is also faulty (as was the case with two Archos 5 Internet tablets I tried) Amazon's policy is not to give you a third one even if you want one - they will automatically refund your money. Amazon are great with returns - if your unit is faulty there is no quibble whatsoever and their returns procedure is very professional.
However, I think you'd have to be really unlucky to get two faulty Cowons in a row.
Seems alright. I haven't had a problem with Amazon yet. Hopefully I won't have one in this case either.
As far as bricking the device I can only echo the comments that have already warned against connecting the J3 to an Apple Computer or using it through a virtual environment created by Parallels or otherwise.(it's still on an Apple computer!) After "bricking" several J3's and an X7 I've taken a Windows machine out of storage just to use with COWON devices.
Raised glass and build quality - some if not many have reported no glass issues and a few others including myself have had the raised glass problem. I think the build quality is pretty good and should you get a device with raised glass it can be easily fixed.
When I decided to stop sending the J3 back to Amazon and deal with JetAudio they fixed the raised glass issue on my 32GB J3 the very 1st time and since then I've returned it once more and got it back finally yesterday. No raised glass or build issues here to report.

CowanJ3 issues
I recently bought the J3 based on reviews. I loved the audio quality, voice recorder and stand alone speaker. I started experiencing problems with the J3 a few days after purchase which include the clock losing time first a minute then 20 minutes every two hours even uploading the new firmware version 2. It also made a sound as though something was loose on the inside on occasion, I don't know why it was doing this and the J3 had never fallen. I found this was indeed very strange for a new device. There is no album art and sometimes the screen was a bit finnicky.
It was easy to down load music and pictures I did not try uploading movies. I was not impressed with the plastic on the device.
After owning an ipod and a sony walkman I felt the high price point of the device warranted that the device function much better. The ipod still keeps accurate time after 2.5 years and does not make sound.
I returned it after 2 weeks even though I had purchased a two year extended warranty.
Anyway - I have decided to buy it, I am just waiting for my semester to end in case I have problems with it, I don't have the time now to follow up with Amazon.
I like the player from reviews but if I continue to run into problems I will see what to do.
Apparently the J3 has issues with the micro sd card slot not working based on the firmware updates:
LG Volt, iPhone 4S (all with RingPlus service).
Aiwa nsx-5200 stereo.
The actual SD card issue related to MTP mode was that if you had the card inserted but the J3 was not powered on, and you plugged the J3 into the PC, only the "internal storage" would appear in Windows Explorer. However if the J3 was powered on when you connected it to the PC, then both "internal storage" and "external storage" would show up in Windows Explorer.
With the 2.23 firmware, it now doesn't matter whether the J3 is powered on or not. If the J3 is in MTP mode and an external card is inserted, and the J3 is then connected to the PC, powered on first or not, both "internal storage" and "external storage" will now always appear in Windows Explorer, as they should.
The second issue related to MSC mode, and create/update of M3U playlists (on internal storage, which is the only place M3U playlists can be placed), and that crucial first re-boot after the M3U maintenance is finished.
Before 2.23, if you had an external card inserted when you did that crucial first re-boot after completing the M3U playlist work, the new/updated M3U playlists would NOT be analyzed properly and were essentially worthless. They would appear under Music -> [Playlists] with their ".M3U" extension visible (which should not be the case if they've been analyzed correctly), and if you tapped on them you would see "No Files".
The pre-2.23 circumvention was to temporarily remove the SD card before that crucial first re-boot after finishing the M3U playlist work. Once that re-boot (and associated proper M3U playlist analysis) was complete, you could then re-insert the SD card and the analyzed/cached M3U playlists would work fine.
With the 2.23 firmware fix you can now leave the external SD card inserted even during that crucial first re-boot after working on M3U playlists. It is now irrelevant to the correct analysis/cache of the M3U playlists whether or not the SD card is inserted or not. The M3U playlists will be properly analyzed/cached at that crucial first re-boot, regardless.
As far as the third SD card issue which was fixed, relating to a "non-supported card", I never experienced that problem myself.
However I did personally experience the other two issues (described above) and can confirm that both problems were indeed corrected by 2.23.
This is not to say that the J3 is now bug-free, as there are still known problems (which have been reported to Cowon) that remain un-fixed. This includes at least (a) MSC/M3U playlist functionality only supports music files on internal storage whereas MRP/PLA playlist functionality supports music files located on both internal and external storage, and (b) MTP mode does not properly analyze and detect imbedded album art in ID3/FLAC tags, whereas MSC mode does.
O.o So they do work on problems quickly. That is a good thing.
what i mean is write the support team a mail and describe the bug and possibly tell them how to reproduce it (step to step how and when the error/bug occurs). that way they can address the issue and release a new firmware. no complaints - no bugs.
Think for yourself. Question authority. - Timothy Leary

@deadohiosky, Well if they respond then I don't have submitting any and all the bug reports. I had a really bad experience with HP about tech support. Since then I stopped emailing any company with problems in the hardware.
You always have the IRC for S/W
Finally I have placed an order for the J3 on Amazon. I could not resist till Christmas. I hope it doesn't affect my studies much :P

Sunday, November 03, 2013
Well, hello and happy November, guys. Can't believe we're almost at the end of yet another year. No idea where time is going. Anyway, just figured I'd write a quick update for the week. I did horrible last week. I didn't exercise and not once did I follow my meal plan. I have excuses, to be sure, but not the absolute best ones except towards the end of the week. I didn't want to exercise because I was just too bloody exhausted from being emotionally charged nonstop all day because I'm trying so hard to not yell and scream and curse at my beyond pathetic excuse for a coworker, let alone throttle her. She is pissing me off so bad. It's seriously getting to the point where it's either she goes or I do because I'm done with it all. I'm tired of her s*** and I'm tired of not getting paid what I'm worth and I'm tired of not being able to be promoted and learn new things. I'm just so beyond sick and tired of doing the same d****d thing every day, every week, every month, every year. So I've been exhausted from that. And then, I think it was Thursday, I woke up with a very bad sore throat. Which meant I was getting sick. Again. So I knew to not really bother because a sore throat that bad and glands that swollen meant something big was coming on. Not even ice cream could dull the pain. And I was right. I'm not quite sure just yet what it's doing, but I can't stop coughing and I am so congested I can barely breathe. I was actually dreaming about being suffocated last night because I couldn't breathe. Needless to say, I'm tired from that, too. I'm so miserable, I can't get comfortable and sleep for more than an hour or two at a time. I'm doing the best I can to fight it. I'm taking it as easy as possible. I asked my husband to do the floors for me today because they need to be done so bad since the dog is shedding and I just don't have the energy to try to do it. I've upped my daily vitamin C, I'm drinking tea sweetened with honey at night, I'm using my netipot twice a day, and I'm taking medicine to help with everything else. I guess if I get too much worse or if I see zero improvement by Thursday, I should probably call a doctor. Not that I want to. They cost too much. So here's hoping I can beat it on my own here soon.
Seeing as it's a new month already, I've taken new monthly measurements and all that jazz. Trying to figure out new ways to help motivate myself, too. I had been thinking maybe I should take a picture of myself every month from the front and from the side and hang it on the fridge with all my monthly measurements on it and a picture of a baby ultrasound with a note that says "You can't have this while you're like this." I don't know, though. And since I'm so sick right now, I don't know how much I'll be able to exercise this month since I don't know how long it will take to get better. So I may hold off on that until next month if I do it at all. I'm still in the debate phase. It seems like a good idea, but at the same time it seems like I'm trying to shame myself further. So I really don't know. Anyway, I'm gonna wrap this up now. I need to get to the store and get food for the week so I can make what I can ahead of time and get back to resting. So, I guess I'll finish off with sharing my shameful measurements of the month with the difference from what I have written down from last month. So, take care, everyone!

I know that it's hard but you are definitely doing the right thing by resting right now. I've tried changing my desktop background and getting into the picture on the fridge and it mostly just made me feel bad because i was so far away from my goal. What really got my momentum going was some success helped in part by being on a seasonal challenge sparkteam with weekly challenges and weigh ins. Once the pounds started to come off, i started to feel more in control of my weight and like i could actually succeed. The team environment really helped too because i didn't feel as alone in my efforts. Everyone was trying to meet the same goal 5% of body weight, and there were weekly weigh ins plus a competitive component with other teams.

You're right - you need to take care of yourself - not just the coughing and congestion, but the stress that makes you more susceptible to catching the bugs that wander by. Give yourself a break on exercise/nutrition for the time being. Recover completely!

Aw I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so lousy, it sounds like you have a really nasty case of something... well, nasty. I hope you're feeling much better well before Thursday and don't have to see a doctor!
Get lots of rest and take care of yourself.

James Brown has cultivated a refined retail haven with Hostem. Featuring items acquired everywhere from Perugia to LA, the store is a reflection of the cultures and individuals who inspire Brown himself. The space reflects a clear emphasis on attention to detail, where Brown supports and showcases the brands and projects that he most passionately believes in.
What's hot right now?
I find that appeal is inversely relative to attainability, so for me what is poignant right now is if you can seek out the rare. Whether it be watching an old film such as Down by Law, directed by Jim Jarmusch', or reading a copy of Interview from 1970 or the simplicity of listening to records from times past. The present in retrospect is always far more enchanting, because that's when it becomes the past.
What are you looking forward to this fall in London?
The opening of the infamous Dr. Romanelli's Prescription Shoppe at Hostem in October. He is an unbelievably talented individual so it's great to have a platform and space where we can showcase the collaboration and products that we have been working on for the last six months.
Who are your favorite designers?
I love the artisan aspect of design. Clothing that has meaning, that has a story behind the garment—such as a pair of Visvim FBT's created out of inspiration from original Native American Moccasins, the hand-dyed finish to an MA+ leather or the locality and closeness to home of a Curiouser + Curiouser Scarf.

The engine than runs fine until it has been shut down, cooled for a short time and restarted the squeal occurs again and soon quits. Squeal appears to be coming from the front of the engine. The raw water pump and alternator belts were replaced and properly tentioned last week. I just completed replacing the alternator but yet the squeal remains. The engine circulating water pump is next followed by the raw water pump.... However, troubleshooting via parts replacement is time consuming and expensive. Anyone experience this type of problem???"

FA Cup weekends mean so much to the EPL Talk podcast. They give a great chance to look at the situation from a completely different angle. Conclusion? Yeh, playing lower division teams is harder than the TV says it is. AVB should be angry. 'Arry got away with it.
Kristan tells a lovely story about Demba Ba, whilst Matt looks at Leeds and Warnock. Hmmm. Both in precarious positions, but for very different reasons. The same could be said for our teams in the EPL, Arsenal look shattered whilst Liverpool don't know what to do with themselves now they did well…even Gus Poyet seemed happy with them winning.
EPL sides were changeable this weekend with mixed set of results. What did you think of your side's performance? Tweet along with the matches or tweet along with the podcast and give us your views for the next show:

The similarities between the recently-announced "Battlefield Hardline" and last year's title, "Battlefield 4," have been addressed by Thad Sasser. According to a report from Gaming Bolt on June 18, the multiplayer designer stated that the development team is using the same Frostbite 3 engine for the upcoming game. However, some improvements were also added by Visceral Games. For example, the vehicle physics got enhanced due to the emphasis being placed on the new cops versus criminals theme.
Thad Sasser did admit to Playstation Lifestyle that the user interfaces of "Battlefield 4" and "Battlefield Hardline" are very similar as the studio wanted the upcoming title to be somewhat recognizable to fans of the series. However, his company will be listening to fan feedback to identify any changes that could be made prior to the official release. As a result, the two software products may end up looking more different in the end.
"Battlefield Hardline" was formally revealed at E3 2014 after numerous leaks. A multiplayer beta can currently be accessed for PC and PS4 players, giving fans a taste at what to expected from the latest installment from the first-person shooting franchise. They will get to try out two game modes, Heist and Blood Money, on one map from the multiplayer mode. However, a few of the testers found that the new game is too similar to "Battlefield 4," prompting Thad Sasser to issue a response to the criticisms from the community.
Along with the PC and PS4, "Battlefield Hardline" is also coming to the PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms. In addition to the multiplayer, the software product also comes with a single-player campaign that features a story that somewhat resembles most modern-day crime drama television shows. The new game will be hitting store shelves on Oct. 21. You can find a screen from the "Battlefield" Twitter page with the photo near the top of this article.

Last week the United Soybean Board announced a significant expansion in the production of high-oleic soybeans. Indiana Soybean Alliance Executive Director Jane Ade Stevens says this is a really good thing for Indiana's soybean growers. "Indiana and Ohio are the two states that are getting the acreage right now (we're going to have about 50,000 acres in Indiana this next year)," she says. "It's a big deal."
At one time, Stevens tells Brownfield, soybean oil made up around 80 percent of the vegetable oil market – and because of Trans Fats – that market share has changed to high-oleic canola. "With our soybean checkoff dollars, as well as companies like Pioneer and Monsanto, we've come up with some new varieties that get us in the high oleic market," she says. Putting soybean oil in a good position to regain that lost market share.
Indiana soybean farmers will plant around 50,000 acres of the high-oleic soybeans next year and Stevens says they are still looking for growers.

09:50, UK, Tuesday 19 August 2014
Pilots are advised never to fly though an ash cloud because of the extreme problems it can cause an aircraft.
Ingesting ash dust can cause partial or total engine power loss, and even power loss in all engines.
The ash can also damage aircraft ventilation, hydraulic, electronic and air data systems along with the plane's paint, windscreens and power plants.
Former British Airways pilot Eric Moody has first-hand experience of flying through an ash cloud.
In June 1982 he was piloting a Jumbo 747 from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, Australia when he hit an ash cloud just off Java.
"It was very frightening, all the engines stopped for 14 to 15 minutes and we didn't know what was happening," he told Sky News.
"It was dark and the effect was of St Elmo's fire around the aircraft. We were looking for the cloud that had caused it but didn't know it was a volcanic ash cloud.
"We glided the aircraft about 80 nautical miles and went down 37,000ft to about 12,000ft.
"That was when we must have come out of the bottom of the ash cloud. It was a dark old night."
As a result of Mr Moody's flight experience research into the effects of volcanic ash clouds on aircraft increased and Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres were established around the world.
"Flying into volcanic ash is as deadly as flying with ice on your aircraft," said Mr Moody.
"And everyone knows how dangerous that is."
There was huge disruption in the UK in 2010 after a massive cloud of ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland drifted into UK airspace.
A number of airports were closed and hundreds of flights cancelled.

Ferrari 458 Italia

- Rate: Please rate this video Views: 6 Downloads: 6
Video of nice yellow Ferrari 458 Italia recorded with my new HD camcorder Samsung HMX - H104 . If you like the video don't forget to Comment and Subscribe
The 458 Italia is powered by 4,499 cc (4.499 L; 274.5 cu in) V8 engine derived from a shared Ferrari/Maserati design, producing 570 PS (420 kW; 560 hp) at 9,000 rpm (redline) and 540 Nm (400 lb·ft) at 6,000 rpm with 80% torque available at 3,250 rpm.The engine features direct fuel injection, a first for Ferrari mid-rear engine setups in its road cars.
The company says the 458 - expected to cost as much as $600,000, or 10 per cent more than the 430 - completes the new generation Ferrari range, boasting better environmental credentials accompanied by more power and better performance.
The 458 is largely focussed on the driver, with the remainder of the cabin laid bare - the driver gets a steering wheel that has the bulk of the features now mounted on it, moving lights, indicators, windscreen washer/wiper function to the steering wheel, as well as the start/stop engine button, the independent damper switch and the all-important Manettino toggle.
That system controls the suspension, stability control and drivetrain via the one ECU, which Ferrari says allows the systems to work together for quicker response times.
The aluminium-spaceframe vehicle, which was developed with input from Michael Schumacher, sits on a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with some similarity to the underpinnings of the California - but some of the suspension has been altered for 458 Italia duty, including the bushing.
The 458 is also stiffer than the outgoing 430 Scuderia, boasting only 30 extra kgs but with 50 more kiloWatts and 70 additional Newton metres of torque on hand, it's quicker than the outgoing sports model.
The alloy direct-injection engine is now 4.5-litres, with work done to reduce internal friction as well as using a dry sump and oil scavenger system, producing 425kW at a manic 9000rpm and 540Nm at 6000rpm, although 80 per cent of that is available from 3250 through until 9000rpm.

Last night, Aug. 19, 2014, Matteo Guidicelli, the hunk actor who captured the hearts of popsters because of Sarah Geronimo together with his co-stars in Regal Entertainment, Inc.'s "Somebody To Love" went out and attended the scheduled premier night at SM Mega Mall Cinema 9. As expected, even though she is supporting her boyfriend, Sarah chose not to attend the event, but despite her absence, some observers especially popsters say the event was a huge success.
In an interview with reporters several days ago, Matteo confirmed that his girlfriend will not go with him, but he clarified that Sarah Geronimo is really planning to watch "Somebody To Love." Some observers believe that the presence of his girlfriend at the red carpet premier will attract viewers especially popsters, unfortunately, it did not happen because Matteo and Sarah decided not to entertain the idea.
Well, he is doing the right thing because if the pop star attended the event held last night at SM Mega Mall Cinema 9, some observers will say the actor-athlete is using Sarah Geronimo for his own good. That is one thing that Matteo Guidicelli doesn't want to hear because he is doing everything to protect his relationship with the pop star.
In "Somebody To Love," he will be seen kissing Isabelle Daza. The local media asked him if he allow his girlfriend Sarah Geronimo to watch the particular scene. He told them that he will allow his girlfriend to watch the kissing scene, but he jokingly added that he will blindfold Sarah Geronimo when it comes up. Meanwhile, he is still hoping that he and Sarah could watch the movie together when they are both free.
Right now, according to Matteo, the pop star is busy doing her projects with ABS-CBN. After this movie, the hunk actor who is also doing everything for his princess will shoot "Flight 666," an episode for the movie "Shake, Rattle and Roll XV" according to Mother Lily of Regal Entertainment Inc.

Getting Started with PhoneGap on OSX Mavericks - iOSNov 9
PhoneGap is an excellent development tool for supporting multiple mobile platforms. While it's true that you can get more performant, more integrated code by writing native applications, there are a ton of simple applications that are created every day that could easily and effectively be written using a hybrid approach.
Installing NodeJS
PhoneGap uses NodeJS to do it's thing. You can download NodeJS here, for OSX Mavericks I used the Installer (.pkg) and the process was quite painless.

jQuery Sexy Placeholder v1.0 and BDD UpdateNov 2
In my previous article, BDD With Jasmine, I discussed my recent usage of Jasmine in a simple jQuery plugin I was building. I've since released V1.0 of my plugin and have gained a bit more insight into the use of Jasmine for BDD - and why BDD is just so wonderful.
jQuery Sexy Placeholder v1.0
jQuery Sexy Placeholder is my new plugin to add stylable, unassuming placeholder functionality for older browsers. It uses a built-in mini Modernizr build for feature detection and weighs in at 3.5kb. If...[Read More]
BDD With JasmineOct 30
Recently I took my first real try at doing BDD with Jasmine…
Currently my team is working on a green field application. Since we have freedom to improve and the end product has the potential to set the bar for future work, it makes sense to investigate all options which can improve code quality. I'd been interested in TDD and BDD since a professor at school once casually mentioned them during a lecture, so I was naturally going to explore this avenue. I also needed to develop a very simple...[Read More]

ASU HEAD COACH KEVIN BOYD ON ALY MOON: "Aly Moon is a really good soccer player, which is always the best compliment I can give. She's smart, she's technical and she plays hard. She's somebody that can play any of the positions in the midfield. She could also play on the back line and on the front line. Right now, I'm viewing her in the midfield in more of an attacking role. I think she is a player who can help fill the void left by the graduation of Holland Crook."

Ellen Degeneres is in a Super Bowl commercial? The talented talk show host decided on her birthday show that she would be debuting the new Beats Music Super Bowl commercial and there was a moment of delight from the audience. According to The Wrap on Wednesday, the top 10 list of stars include people like Laurence Fishburne, Ben Kingsley David Beckham and even Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yet, Ellen's Super Bowl commercial was under such tight wraps that not even the Hollywood know-it-all columnists right in the area knew. Well, all that changed on Ellen's birthday show.
"I shot a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl this weekend," said Ellen DeGeneres explaining the desire to be part of the produce. "It's for the Beats Music app."
Explaining how Beats Music work, viewers got the chance to see how the app differs from other apps. Giving people real playlists of music, but not in a random order. Instead, people can listen to songs that Ellen DeGeneres or other celebrities like and jam with music in a more personalized manner.
The Super Bowl commercial will be a hit on Super Bowl Sunday. One of the highlights is when Ellen is seen dancing with a family of animals and her look-a-like red riding hood outfit is quite cute too.
The lucky audience members got the chance to experience the Beats Music on their new phones. The app was a gift along with the cell phone and there is no doubt this gift was a complete surprise as the audience erupted with delight.
Take a look at the video clip of Ellen DeGeneres' Super Bowl commercial.

SFC Thomas Nichols is also a fellow blogger and posts at JACK ARMY as well as guest blogging: VA JOE.
He gives his views on his current mission, the Army and even Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Here's what he had to say:
In which province are you currently deployed (if you can tell)?
I am deployed in the Saladin Province. The area that my unit operates in is relatively calm but there is still a threat. There are people that are taking advantage of the situation for personal gain, but the Iraqi Police in this area are stepping up to that challenge more and more every day.
(NOTE: Salah ad-Din includes Tikrit and Samarra - two formerly very anti-American areas.)
How do the Iraqi civilians view/treat you and your soldiers?
We are generally well received by the civilians in this area. Coalition Forces do not have as large a presence in this area as in some other places in Iraq, but the locals are used to seeing us and treat us well. I think that my commander has a lot to do with that, though. He has worked hard to develop friendships in this area with local leaders and it shows. He treats everyone with respect and dignity and even when we can't help, he still listens to their problems and offers alternate solutions. A lot of times, just showing that he cares is enough to make the Iraqi people we work with feel better. Of course, he attempts to guide them to solutions to their problems and if it is something that we can do, like provide security during important events, he is quick to offer help. In our time here, we have seen the people grow more and more friendly toward us. When we started waving at passing motorists and pedestrians as we drove by in our up-armored humvee's, people looked confused and unsure what we were doing. Now, we wave and smile and get waves and smiles in return.
Now, this doesn't mean that everything is always roses and sunshine. There was one patrol to a small town in our sector and some teenage boys threw rocks at one of our trucks. They were in a schoolyard behind a wall, but there was no doubt where the rocks came from. Nobody was hurt, but we had a stern conversation with the school principal and haven't had any problems since. It did not seem that there was an "anti-American" thing going on, just some boys goading each other into doing something stupid. I remember doing the same sorts of things when I was that age.
Have you heard or sensed any shift in Iraqis against insurgents (i.e. the Anbar Salvation Council is allegedly fed up with Al-Qaeda and are now battling them in places like Habbaniyah)?
Yes, there is a definite shift in how Iraqis view insurgents. Iraqis are turning in insurgents, calling when they see IEDs and even chasing away bad guys in some cases. Is it enough? No, not yet, but it is improvement and hopefully the momentum is shifting enough to make it a permanent thing. Only time will tell.
How long have you been there; how long until redeployment?
With just over seven months completed, we redeploy back to Schofield barracks in about five months or so. I haven't heard a specific date yet. I don't focus on that, though, because it tends to lead to complacency and that is not good. A year is a long time, not nearly enough to finish the work of fighting an insurgency, but for a family it is very long.
(How many of you are willing to spend a full year away from your family?)
Have you had any contact with journalists during your tour? (I read Bill Roggio virtually everyday since he seems to bring the best information without editorials.)
A couple by email. In fact, I just responded to an email interview from a journalist from a magazine called the Global Journalist . There have been a few here in person, but I didn't conduct personal interviews with any of them.
As a followup -- Have you had any DVs for which you had to put on the requisite "dog and pony" show? Choose one of the following to describe the visit:
• I felt he/she brought a great deal to raise morale to my troops
• He/She asked a few questions, but really didn't seem all that interested
• He/She just came for a "Photo Op"
We have had a few Distinguished Visitors, but I don't feel we put on a dog and pony show for them. The highest ranking visitor was a major general… Did we take special care in presenting a professional appearance? Sure, but not the typical garrison "spit and polish" show. My commander and I have the philosophy that we will not change the standard for visitors, meaning that if it is the right thing to do because the brigade commander is visiting, then it is the right thing to do all the time. We really don't spend much time preparing for distinguished visitors.
(NOTE: Sounds like great leadership philosophy. I expected nothing less from our great military professionals.)
What gives you the greatest satisfaction with your current mission? What gives you the least?
The best part is seeing the Iraqis take charge of situations in the area. From IED discoveries to crowd control to providing security for pilgrims moving through the area, the Iraqi Army and Police are performing more and more of those tasks with less involvement from Coalition Forces. We are able to mentor and guide more than having to take charge and lead them by the nose. The least satisfaction comes on days when we can't do what we planned, for example, our medic planned and coordinated for a three-day combat lifesaver course for the Iraqi Army troops. The IA medics would train the IA Soldiers under his supervision. He coordinated this training several weeks prior and even confirmed the training the day prior. At the appointed time, nobody showed for the training, not even the medics. When the IA battalion staff was asked what was going on, they simply forgot. Frustrating. Not the end of the world, I know, but a distinct challenge in maintaining motivation and mission focus. Is it merely a cultural difference? I'm not sure, but I am disappointed by it.
If you were General Schoomaker for one day, what changes would you make?
Wow. That is a tough question. I probably wouldn't make any changes. I don't have the lifetime of experiences and training that he has and I haven't had months of briefings and intel dumps that he has received. It wouldn't make sense for me to make changes without the information that he has."
(Besides getting rid of Velcro on Army uniforms) the Army is a good organization with good people. There are teams of Soldiers with the job of making recommendations for changes to the top leaders. Those are the guys that should be answering this question."
Here's something I would do if I were king for a day: I'd make myself the official blogger for MNCI. I'd travel around the theater of operations and interview troops and observe first hand all the things we are doing and report on them with a military man's eye for detail. Would it all be good news? Not if I could blog the way I want to. I want to tell the story of Iraq as it is, not as I want it to be. It would mostly be good news, though, because that is what is mostly going on: infrastructure projects, new schools and medical clinics, humanitarian programs, security operations, etc. If I could go home for a couple of weeks every four months or so, this would be my dream job and I'd like to think I'd do a great service to the Army and MNCI. Press releases are great and all, but that's old school. Blogging is the new media and we (the military) need to get our message out in the blogosphere as well as the traditional media venues.
When you hear those who haven't served and do not seem particularly informed comment on military operations, what is your first reaction?
I'm pleased that they are even paying attention to what is going on. I feel like too many Americans don't even know what is going on in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere that they don't bother to comment because they don't know. Are there commentators that are misinformed or underinformed? Sure, but at least they are trying to participate in the discussion about what is going on. I do think that many people speak before listening, though. What I mean is that they take one news article or commentary and run with it, forming opinions and making political statements without gathering more information and opinions. I wish more folks would read more and listen more to the folks that are fighting this war.
Among the services the Army has always been known to focus less on facilities and more on warfighting systems. Were you surprised at the civilian media's focus on Walter Reed AMC?
No, I wasn't surprised in the least. The sudden focus was obviously politically motivated. There is a segment of our country that is engaged in an all-out war against the current administration and the current commander-in-chief in particular. I don't know why exactly, but it is destructive and demotivating, to say the least. I commented on the crux of your question on my blog, the fact that facilities have always gotten shortshrifted in the Army while equipment and training has been top-notch for the most part. The good news is that despite the less-than-sincere motives, the troops and veterans will benefit from this "uproar". While I believe that the same media and politicians who've been in and out of Walter Reed many times and suddenly find the conditions appalling are hypocrites, the increased scrutiny will hopefully spur Congress to spend the money to make our military and veterans hospitals the quality facilities that they should be. I'm not talking about turning them into hospital versions of five-star hotels, just clean and functional facilities that any American would be proud of.
Thanks to SFC Nichols and all of our warriors who taking the fight to the enemy in this generational Global War on Terror. I have faith in SFC Nichols to keep the troops focused and motivated no matter what the enemy and the defeatists throw at them.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill

Often grown as a foliage houseplant for cool situations, this is also a very successful shade-tolerant garden plant. It's ideal for seaside gardens, against warm walls and in sheltered corners inland - hard frost can injure the leaves, but plants will recover if the roots are protected from frost. The large glossy leaves make it a useful addition to tropical-type planting plans. The 'Aurea' cultivar has particularly attractive variegated golden-green leaves that can bring light and colour to shady corners. Plant in spring to allow time to establish before the frosts. Remove berries to increase leaf size, and water and feed regularly.

PHILADELPHIA -- Police say they've questioned the driver of a car seen going down the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps made famous in the movie "Rocky."
Videos posted online show the BMW convertible slowly making its way down the long, wide staircase at about midnight Thursday before speeding off.
The district attorney's office says the car caused about $8,000 in damage to the steps and prosecutors have approved a felony charge of criminal mischief against the driver.
Police say they won't charge the driver until they can determine if a mechanical problem was to blame.
The driver's name hasn't been released.
The steps have become a popular tourist attraction since Sylvester Stallone run up them in "Rocky."

FLS615UT: AP SpLa (2014-2015)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Virtual School Program
COURSE TITLE: AP Spanish Lang
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
SUGGESTED PREPARATION: Spanish I, Spanish II, Spanish III, Spanish IV
Major Concepts/Content:
The course is conducted almost exclusively in Spanish and encourages the student to do likewise. However, the tips and grammar tutorials make use of both Spanish and English to aid in the student's comprehension of difficult grammatical concepts. The course is divided into ten units. Each unit focuses on a unit theme which is then further broken down into sub-topics. Each unit consists of vocabulary practices, grammar presentations and practices, culture topics, assessments, and AP-related test practices. Although this course is completely online, you will have a teacher who will be available to answer any questions you might have regarding the course and the content. The teacher will also be correcting your assignments and any audio or essay submissions.
The intensity, quality and amount of materials can be compared to a third-year college course. Instructional materials, activities, assignments, and assessments are appropriate to this level. In addition to frequent use of authentic materials obtained from the Internet, other course materials have been written, created and organized by a team of writers which includes experienced AP teachers, university teachers, and other native Spanish-speaking writers. The content presented in the course is principally based on online research combined with the writers' experience teaching at the AP and college level. All audio excerpts and passages were written and recorded by native-Spanish speakers from various countries and spoken at native speeds. All reading passages were also written and prepared by native Spanish-speaking writers. The activities and assignments in this course are specifically designed to help each student improve their skills in all Spanish communicative areas and also to prepare for the AP Exam. Each unit consists of several activities which integrate multiple language skills together, which further strengthens the student's language development and acquisition. The tests, especially the unit tests and semester final exams, are structured to assess a student's complete understanding of all the information presented. They should be prepared for quite intensely. They will also provide great practice for the AP test.

Kim Kardashian hasn't really been filming the show this season because she has been focusing on being a mother and being out of the spotlight. She has been filming the show for years, and Kanye West doesn't want their child to be on the show. And yet, the family has supposedly just signed another three-year deal that will ensure the show will be on E! for another three seasons. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 13, Kim Kardashian may be filming just for the money.
Apparently, the family will get $40 million for three additional seasons. So, what could be on these new seasons of the show? Well, Kim's relationship and wedding to Kanye West could be featured. Khloe's divorce drama and moving on could also be in focus. Perhaps, Rob Kardashian's weight loss, even though he has moved away from the city.
Kris Jenner is excited to start filming, but Bruce Jenner doesn't want to be on the show. And given they are separated, it isn't surprising that he wants out of the show. What do you think of the family signing another deal?

That's some nice work! People are always guessing about 'good' or 'better' results, but it was time somebody figured out the actual values behind it.
I always thought reversing the fans might improve cooling, but I'm really shocked about the 12 degree drop. Definitely gonna try it on some of my more stubborn RROD's.

YA-11 – GUEST REVIEW: 'Belle's Song' by K. M. Grant
While there is romance, I would say that the romance is only a small part of the book. The plot alongside Belle's pilgimage is about politics, and the uneasy feeling towards King Richard II. enjoyed seeing it unfold between Belle, Luke, who is Chaucer's scribe and Walter, a son of a wealthy Knight. I thought it was brilliant to have a different love triangle to one you would expect, it's a very welcome one and to see it
Belle's group of friends and pilgirms are all likeable and well written and I loved that Chaucer is a character here, it made me want to go and read The Canterbury Tales again! The ending was very satisfactory, and I loved Belle's strength and the way she deals with the book's villain, who is suitably slimy.
For me there were a few historical inaccuracies, but I did quickly pass over them because I was into the story far too much to let them bother me. However, for a 296 page book, there is a lot going on. The politics and the court intrigue can feel slightly too detailed for such a short book. The historical setting is gorgeously written, though and I could almost see Canterbury.

According to Boulder, Colo. based communications firm Sterling-Rice Group, tea is one of the top food trends in 2014. So you'll be seeing tea outside the teacup on restaurant menus this year, in everything from appetizers to entrees to cocktails.
Denver, Colo. based Teatulia Organic Teas is ahead of the trend. The company has been supplying organic teas from its own tea garden in Bangladesh to local restaurants for several years. They have even partnered with local mixologists to create tea-infused cocktail recipes.
"It's exciting that top mixologists across the country have come to us to create such original drinks," says CEO and Co-founder, Linda Appel Lipsius.
Kevin Burke, a mixologist working at Colt & Gray in Denver, created the Swedish Toddy featuring Teatulia's Tulsi Infusion Tea and aquavit. Tulsi Infusion is a full-bodied, rich, and spicy black tea, and aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit known for its distinct spice and herb flavor. Served hot and sweetened with a little honey, the combo makes a great cold-weather cocktail.
"I have seen a renewed interest in using tea in cocktails that coincides with the resurgence of serving old school punches," says Burke. "I enjoy putting tea into cocktails because it is a chance to layer in new flavors and textures."
Burke's recipe for the Swedish Toddy, along with other cocktail recipes created by local mixologists, can be found on the Tea Recipes page of Teatulia's website. A few of the Teatulia tea-inspired local cocktails include:
- Swedish Toddy by Kevin Burke from Colt & Grey in Denver
- White Tea Punch by Anika Zappe from Linger in Denver
- Green Tea Mint Julip by by Justin Russell from Corridor 44 in Denver
- The Fifth Element by The Kitchen in Boulder
About Teatulia: Teatulia Organic Teas are sourced directly from their own garden in Northern Bangladesh and other like-minded gardens. Started in 2000 to give back to the local community, the Teatulia Gardens were established as an enterprise that would give the most people a living wage while protecting and strengthening the environment. All sales of Teatulia Organic Teas contribute to this mission, helping to better the lives of men, women and children in the local community while rebuilding the local ecosystem.

I remember St. George's without affection. We did not do much...
It was probably a difficult time, just after W. W. 2, few text books and often a quick turnover of rather 'rum' staff - BUT - we did make some good friends, who have lasted a life time.
The 'Arts' were encouraged. Drawing was well taught and I was pleased to hear 'The Arts' still going in those buildings. School plays and entertainments took up much time. Madame Zerkowitch, from St. Andrew's, came several times a week for assorted dancing classes. 'A Kiss for Cinderella' and some of Madame Zerkowitch's dance displays even went to Nairobi!

Great Guide and Driver with excellent English
Scrumptious food with a lovely local family
Wish I'd been able to spend more time at the Hot Springs - well worth a visit even if Lonely Planet says mediocre
I happened to be the only person who signed up for this tour so I ended up getting a private tour without really signing up for one. The Terracotta Warriors were great and the guides estimate of spending 2.5 hours there was the perfect amount of time. I saw everything I wanted to see. I mentioned for lunch that I had a few dietary restrictions and they had no issues accommodating them. There was so much food and I definitely left full! The Hot Springs were relaxing but the English at the spa isn't great. You just have to be willing to get into a pool and see what happens. Most were hot and had plants floating in them but I did find one pool that had the fish that nibble at your feet. It was unexpected but a fun memory! I would have loved to stay there longer but I was there for 2 hours so I can't really complain. They were sticking to the schedule of having me back around 5pm.
Fantastic.... You feel floating between history and relaxation in the spa....higly recommended
This tour is something different from the normal sightseeing tour.....the warriors are amazing; lunch was delicious and yes hot spring was just what I need after a whole day walking.
Fantastic tour, friendly guide, great lunch. Recommended
ElizabethD United Kingdom
A visit to see the Terracotta Warriors is a 'must do' on any trip to China and the Terracotta Warrior Museum did not disappoint. It's amazing and slightly crazy, when you know the history and shouldn't be missed. Lunch was in an ordinary house though described as a 'farmer's lunch' and though the surroundings were basic, the food was good, but not really what I'd been expecting. However, the visit to the Hot Springs visit was a disappointment. Unfortunately I was the only person on this tour and the guide left me to go into the Hot Springs alone. None of the staff spoke English and I don't speak Mandarin so I had no idea what was happening nor had any information about the various pools or massages. Given the lack of information, it felt like a wasted afternoon and all in all it was a disappointing day. If the guide had accompanied me and explained more of what was on offer I think I would have enjoyed it but as it was a confusing and disappointing experience.

In most years, the Department of Defense (DoD) provides a five- or six-year plan, called the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), associated with the budget it submits to the Congress. Because decisions made in the near term can have consequences for the defense budget well beyond that period, CBO—at the request of the Senate Budget Committee—has examined the programs and plans contained in DoD's latest FYDP (issued in April 2011) and projected their budgetary impact in subsequent years. Today's study is the newest in an annual series and updates the projections contained in CBO's Long-Term Implications of the Fiscal Year 2011 Defense Budget, published in February 2011.
CBO's Projections
In February 2011, DoD requested an appropriation of $671 billion for 2012. Of that amount, $554 billion was to fund the "base" programs that constitute the department's normal activities, such as the development and procurement of weapon systems and day-to-day operations of the military and civilian workforce. The remaining $118 billion was requested to pay for overseas contingency operations—the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and other military activities elsewhere.
CBO focused its analysis on the base budget because it reflects DoD's future plans for manning, training, and equipping the military. CBO has projected the costs of DoD's plans for its base budget—reflected in the FYDP, which covers fiscal years 2012-2016, and other long-term plans released by the department—by using factors that are consistent with DoD's recent experience. Those costs are all measured in 2012 dollars. CBO's analysis yields these conclusions:
- To execute its base-budget plans for the period covered by the 2012 FYDP, DoD would need appropriations totaling about $206 billion (or 8 percent) more over those five years than if funding was held at the 2011 level of $536 billion. Over the 10 years from 2012 to 2021, DoD would need a total of $597 billion (or 11 percent) more than if funding was held at the 2011 level.
- DoD's base budget would grow at a real (inflation-adjusted) average annual rate of 1.8 percent from 2012 to 2016 and by 0.5 percent from 2016 to 2030. At those rates, DoD's base budget would rise from $554 billion in 2012 to $594 billion in 2016 and to $642 billion in 2030 (an increase of 16 percent).
- The primary cause of long-term growth in DoD's budget from 2012 to 2030 would be rising costs for operation and support (O&S). In particular, CBO projects significant increases in the costs for military and civilian compensation, military health care, and various operation and maintenance activities. O&S would grow steadily throughout the projection period, from $350 billion in 2012 to $459 billion in 2030, a growth rate of 1.5 percent per year and an increase of more than 30 percent over that period.
- That large contribution of O&S costs to long-term budget growth is a change from the years before the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, when sharp growth in anticipated requirements to replace and modernize weapon systems was the primary factor underlying budget growth beyond the years covered by the FYDP.
Comparison with Projections Incorporating DoD's Estimates
CBO compared its projection with DoD's estimate of the costs of the FYDP with an "extension of the FYDP" (for the 2017–2030 period). The latter projection is based on DoD's estimates of costs if they are available for years beyond 2016 (for some weapon systems, for instance) and on costs consistent with the broader U.S. economy if estimates from the department are not available (for pay and medical costs, for instance).
By DoD's estimates, executing its plans for 2012 to 2016 would require real increases in funding of about 0.7 percent annually (excluding supplemental and emergency funding for overseas contingency operations). Over the five-year period, that growth rate would result in costs that were $142 billion (or 5 percent) greater than the amount of DoD's budget if it was held at the 2011 level.
In most cost categories, the CBO projection is higher than the FYDP and the extension of the FYDP. For instance, health care costs for DoD have grown faster than they have in the broader economy, and the costs of developing and buying weapons have historically been, on average, 20 percent to 30 percent higher than DoD's initial estimates. The CBO projection—which, starting with 2013, includes estimates of those costs that reflect historical trends—indicates how rapidly defense budgets would have to grow to execute DoD's plans under the assumption that the department's costs continue to grow as they have in the past.
CBO's projection of the total cost of the FYDP through 2016—at $2,885 billion—is $64 billion (about 2 percent) higher than the department's estimate. Compared with the FYDP and the extension of the FYDP, annual costs under the CBO projection would be about 4 percent higher at the end of 10 years and 5 percent higher by 2030, at the end of the projection period. Much of the difference derives from CBO's judgment that recent trends in the costs of military health care, weapon systems, and other support activities are likely to persist.
CBO's projections should not be viewed as predictions of future defense spending; rather, they are estimates of the costs of executing DoD's current plans. The degree to which the plans laid out by DoD are executed in the future will depend on the funding that will be provided in an era of increasing pressure on the federal budget as a whole and on the success of ongoing efforts to curb cost growth for such items as medical care and advanced weapon systems.
This study was prepared by Adam Talaber, Daniel Frisk, and David Arthur with contributions by other members of CBO's National Security Division and additional support from CBO's Budget Analysis Division.

Hazardous Waste LabelingReminder: Hazardous Waste Labeling
To help address waste containers that have been neglected in laboratories, we have (for a number of years) required that all of the accumulation containers be marked with the "Accumulation Start Date," the date when the first waste was placed into the container.
When lab inspectors come to your lab, they will audit the hazardous waste accumulation areas and look to see that there are no waste containers older than 6 months.
Have a look yourself and submit any old waste containers for disposal!

Launch Webcast Q&A: Oracle WebCenter Suite 11g - The Platform for the Modern User Experience
By Howard Beader on Feb 10, 2011
Did you have a chance to watch the Oracle WebCenter Suite 11g Launch Webcast yet? Andy MacMillan presented some great information on the webcast and answered quite a few of your questions in the Q&A session as well. For your reading pleasure we have captured a number of the questions and answers and they are summarized below:
Question: Can you tell me what should our Portal strategy be for integrating and extending our Oracle enterprise applications?
Answer: We recommend that you look at this in two steps, the first would be to ensure that you have a good understanding of our common user experience architecture. Internally our product teams at Oracle are already investing in this quite heavily today for Fusion Applications and this is driving natural convergence from a UX strategy standpoint. The second step would be to look at how best to componentize the back office applications so that the business users across your organization can take advantage of these -- don't make it just about putting a new skin on top of what you already have from an application standpoint, instead look at how best to embed the social computing capabilities as part of the solution for your business users.
Question: We are currently using the BEA WebLogic Portal now, should we stay on WLP or should we be looking at moving to WebCenter or when should we move to WebCenter?
Answer: Our strategy has been called "Continue & Converge", this theme means that you can continue to use WebLogic or Plumtree portals until your organization is ready to move to WebCenter and in the mean time you can continue to deploy what you need to in your organization of WLP or WCI Portals with the full support of Oracle. In addition WebCenter Services can be leveraged for social computing to complement what you are already doing today and enable your organization to take advantage of some of the latest and greatest social computing capabilities. We have migration scripts and conversion capabilities available as well as programs where Oracle can help you evaluate your options to decide how best to move forward. WebCenter provides the best of the best capabilities and will enable you to take advantage of new capabilities that may not exist in your current portal today. In the end though it's up to you as a customer as to when you want to make the transition to Oracle WebCenter Suite.
Question: Can you tell me how is Oracle leveraging WebCenter internally and for its Application and Middleware product UX strategies?
Answer: Internally, Oracle is leveraging WebCenter for our employees and thus far we are seeing significant updates with our users taking advantage of the business activity streams, team spaces and collaboration capabilities. From a product strategy standpoint, our product teams are taking advantage of the common user experience architecture and leveraging WebCenter to provide social and collaborative capabilities to the Oracle Applications and providing new types of composite applications with what is coming with Fusion Applications. WebCenter also provides a common user experience across all the products in the Oracle Fusion Middleware family as well.
Question: Our organization is currently using SharePoint, but we are also an Oracle Applications customer, how should we be thinking about WebCenter as we move forward?
Answer: Great question. Typically, we are seeing organizations using SharePoint for its core use cases of small team collaboration and file server replacement. WebCenter can connect to SharePoint as a content source to feed into WebCenter quite easily and it leverages the robust Oracle ECM product under WebCenter as well. In addition, SharePoint team sites can be connected to WebCenter utilizing our SharePoint connector. With Oracle WebCenter though, we are really targeting business users and enterprise applications, thus affecting positive change on the processes that drive the business to improve productivity across your organization.
Question: Are organizations today using WebCenter as a Web platform for externally facing public websites?
Answer: Yes, we are seeing a convergence around web content management and portal types of websites with customers converting them from just broadcasting content to making it a much richer personalized experience and also exposing back-office applications as well. Web Content Management capabilities are already embedded in WebCenter so that organizations can take advantage now of the benefits a personalized web experience provides for your customers.
This is simply a short summary of a few of the questions addressed on the webcast, please tune in now to learn more about Oracle WebCenter, the user experience platform for the enterprise and the web! The Oracle WebCenter Suite 11g Launch Webcast can be found here

Jack Ralph Jensen
LINCOLN - Jack Ralph Jensen, 82, passed away July 8, 2013. He was born Sept. 9, 1930, to Albert Sr. and Hazel Jensen. If a man's measure is the legacy of love and values that he leaves in his wake, Jack Jensen was a very large man though of small physical stature.
He grew up in Montague, with his brothers, Sonny and Floyd; and lifelong friends, the Leonard family. Jack claimed to be a model student until about three weeks into his freshman year when he figured he had spent enough quality time in the principal's office. After various jobs of picking and rogueing potatoes up north, shoveling coal and working at the Northern Craft mill, he enlisted in the U.S.
in 1947 at age 17. He trained as a medic and deployed to Europe during the clean-up of World War II and then into the
Korean War
. When on leave to come home and visit family, he met his future wife, Beverly Irene Chesley, who went with him to make their home in France. While there, they had the first of three daughters, Susan. In 1955, he was honorably discharged from the Army and decided that back home in Maine was the place to raise a family. Two weeks after their return, Jack went to work at the Eastern Fine Paper mill in Lincoln where he remained until his retirement after 38 years. During that time they had their second and third daughters, Lori and Jodi. In retirement, Jack became the favorite go-to babysitter for his grandchildren, and he took up the game of golf. He spent many hours on the course with his buddies, Roy Carr, Thurber Lovely, George Albert and Arthur Hurd. He was also a fan of music jams, going from one session to another around the area. He took special pride in maintaining his backyard and loved watching the deer and wildlife eating under his apple trees.
Jack is survived by his three children, Susan Harvey and husband, Clayton, of Enfield, Lori Jensen-Marin and husband, Albert, of Lincoln, and Jodi Miller and husband, Ron, of Lincoln; grandchildren, Joel Harvey and wife, Jennie, of Enfield, and Jesse Jack Jensen Miller and Samantha Miller of Lincoln; great-grandchildren, Eben Harvey and Ella Miller; brothers Albert, Jr. "Sonny" of California and Floyd of Enfield, and their families; cousins, Alan and Lenny Nash, and their families; and special friend, Evelyn Dunn. He was predeceased by his parents, wife; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Sanford and Harriet Chesley; and dear friend, Elwood Dugans.
At Jack's request, there will be no services. Donations in his memory may be made to Ronald McDonald House, 654 State St., Bangor, ME 04401, which he and Beverly supported for many years.
