Publishng: Meet our Author, Brian Joseph Davis
On Being Publishd by Brian Joseph Davis
When I first met Publishr team member Ami Greko, I had just finished doing a reading from the pastry counter of McNally Jackson in New York. The reason I was perched above a Plexiglas display full of tarts was that my laptop's audio-out line was not long enough to reach the bookstore's PA system from the podium. The situation was kind of Kraftwerk meets Gordon Ramsey but in the end it worked. Why did my reading need a laptop? I was playing excerpts from radio play adaptations of short fiction from my newest book. A couple of weeks later, Ami asked me to consider submitting a project to Publishr.
More than a good anecdote that introduces two of the people you'll be hearing from over the next several months, the above serves to illustrate my unique career intersections and the halfway place publishing now finds itself in. While I've been damn lucky in having two relatively stable occupations in the last decade —one in media art and one as a published writer of fiction— my two careers have barely overlapped.
The distribution channels of digital art and music operate at global speed, but the apparatus that creates and markets literary fiction is only now stepping out of business models from the 1950s. That discrepancy has meant that the closest my careers have come to crossing over has been my involvement with Joyland, a short fiction website that I founded along with author Emily Schultz. Working with the Internet's inherent nature—it's internationally accessible but regional in content—Joyland is edited in 8 different regions and cities across North America. In our first two years we've posted some great work, toured a lot, and met incredibly talented and cool people, including a few now working on Publishr.
Publishing is ready to embrace networked brainpower. Fiction writers, however, have been slow to warm to it. The reason may lie in the fact that writing is intensely asocial and reading is, likewise, a very isolated, meditative experience. Both states of being are massively rewarding in and of themselves but it takes publishing to connect the two. As editor Angus Cameron once had to admonish JD Salinger, "Do you want this book published or just printed?"
Good publishing has always been a collaborative effort that readies the book for the public— from editors who love the work enough to change it, to bookstores that know their customers' tastes. Publishr's project represents a chance to toss some dice at new technology while at the same time working within the principles of classic publishing: smart people making a book as good as it can be.
The goal is to create an e-publication that uses the best of current technology. Could this lead to a nicely made limited edition print book? The idea has been floated around, and I hope that is one of the results.
My instinct says that a digital-first book can prime demand for that most durable and perfect of analog storage mediums: the bound book. My experience backs this up. In working at a cooperative independent record label for two years I saw a similar upending of format economics when the compact disc turned into a coaster and vinyl came back as the archival format of choice for serious music lovers.
So what about that 360K chunk of data that I've offered up as a test subject for this project? It's a novel called The Incompetents. The synopsis reads:
Dunning is an art school dropout and lifer intern who has $300,000 in stolen grant money in his hands and two choices. If he gives it back to the arts foundation he used to work for, he'll implicate himself in a decades long fraud that goes back to the cold war. If Dunning redistributes the money to its rightful owners he'll risk changing into one of the wealthy, paternalistic monsters he despises. Before he can decide, Dunning also has to survive his ex-boss, Kruger, who is cleaning up loose ends, any way he can.
The Incompetents is part neo noir, part art essay, and a wholly original view of high culture from the bottom up.
Harold Pinter wrote that one of his plays began in his mind with the word "Dark." It was, he figured out, an answer to a question about a woman's hair color. The Incompetents began last year when I saw the names Dunning and Kruger.
They're great names, and I knew instantly I wanted to write about them. The names are also attached to an interesting cognitive bias regarding one's inflated estimation of abilities, which suggested a great dynamic for dramatic incidents. While I hope I don't become an example of that bias, writing is still all about endless stages of risk.
One of those risks is the moment of going public with your writing. In traditional publishing that wouldn't be for sometime yet. This isn't publishing, this is publshng, and while both words are a lot alike, one is a little quicker.
Since now is as good a time as any to start, let me end this post with a work note to the Publishr team members.
I'll be handing in a new draft by Friday. Major changes include strengthening Nila's motivation for taking the job, and clarifying the jumps between the narrative and the intertexts. I'm also toying with giving the narrator a pet pig in the final section but maybe I'll sleep on that.

Brian Joseph Davis is the author of Portable Altamont, a collection that garnered praise from Spin for its "elegant, wise-ass rush of truth, hiding riotous social commentary in slanderous jokes." Slate called his novel I, Tania, "The book of your fever dreams." He's the co-founder of Joyland, a hub for short fiction and his latest book, Ronald Reagan My Father, is longlisted for the Frank O'Connor Prize for Short Fiction.
Davis' writing has appeared in The Globe and Mail, Ubu Web, Drunken Boat and The Utne.
His music and radio productions have been acclaimed by Wired, Pitchfork, Salon, and LA Weekly, which wrote, "Davis has an amazing head for aural experiments that are smart on paper and fascinating in execution."

What our team members have to say:
Ami Greko: Any manuscript that starts off with a lion mauling is okay by me. And good news for vegetarians, this one continues to get better after that point.
Babette Ross: An entertaining and suspenseful adventure where life meets art. I throughly enjoyed the manuscript.
Matthew Patin: A funny, entertaining look at high culture and the incompetents within its ranks, written by a talented, way-more-than-just-competent author.
Brett Sandusky: The more I read the manuscript, the more I talked to team members about it, and really, the more I communicated with Brian directly, I realized that this was indeed our project. Everything is right, here. We have an author-experimenter, a team that is behind a manuscript, and much enthusiasm all around. You can never downplay the importance of enthusiasm.
Matthew Diener: A Modest Proposal for … The Incompetents
I've been reading The Incompetents and am enjoying it immensely. Yes, it needs some editorial work, but it is a real page turner, fun to read, and a fascinating commentary on the art world, the grant process, and creativity vs. talent. Its weaknesses can surely be cleaned up, and I expect that readers are going to discover it and be happy they read it. In many ways this project is so "META" that it boggles the mind. A novel by an artist and published writer about the art world, the intricate processes involved in the grant writing and acceptance process, and fraudulent grants—including one about a novel about writing fraudulent grants—being published by a group of accomplished industry professionals who are banding together by choice and attempting to show the potential of their "art" while opening up the intricate processes involved in publication, all without the benefit of the grant money that is at the heart of the novel, which is titled, of course, The Incompetents. Given all this, our project could easily become a case of taking ourselves too seriously, or become too arch as we attempt to replicate the humor so present in the manuscript and try to have "fun" with this project. There is a third path, one that I hope we can embrace instead: This whole project is about art, and we, my friends and co-conspirators, we publishing professionals who are too often kept behind the scenes so the spotlight can shine on authors, we are the performance artists in this installation. Embrace the performance! And one question: Why not The Millionaire? (If it worked for John Irving with The World According to Garp …)

Historic Worcester sports ground set for revamp nod
11:41am Friday 13th September 2013 in News By Tom Edwards
A LONG awaited revamp of an historic jewel in Worcester's sporting crown is expected to get the nod next week, it has emerged.
The city council's planning committee is being asked to approve a transformation of the old Cinderella Sports Ground in St John's.
The derelict site, off Bransford Road, dates back to the 1870s as a former home for Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
Worcester College of Technology wants to renovate the facility and bring it back into use for students, as well as possible venue for St John's Colts youth football club and Worcester Dominies and Guild Cricket Club.
A report for the committee, which meets on Thursday at the Guildhall, says the site has "been left to decay" and urges it be accepted.
It also says the derelict sports pavilion, which was previously condemned as unsafe, will be "reinstated to its original condition".
It calls the development a "welcome opportunity to ensure a key part of Worcester's sporting heritage is restored to its original condition".
The college wants to build a one story extension to the structure for changing rooms and shower facilities.
Thirty car parking spaces will also be created on a patch of land directly east of the ground.
If the committee votes it through, work is expected to start swiftly on revamping the site to its former glories.
Resident Sheila Brown, 55, who lives in Bransford Road, said: "It's been an eyesore for a long time now.
"It's been getting worse and worse and it's not great for people who live by it - so I'd like to see this done."
The former Kay and Co site , owned by Arndale Property, has not been used for sport for the last eight years.
The name Cinderella Ground originated from the workers at the old Willis's Cinderella Shoe Factory, who used the facilities in the early 1900s.
It's also the site of a number of historic moments in county cricket history, such as W.G Grace playing for Worcestershire in 1868.
The report says the ground carries "extreme significance" for the city.
In recent years the city council has been working hard behind the scenes to try and attract a third party to invest in it.
The planning committee session gets underway from 1.30pm.

There is far too much public money spent on costly playground equiipment which is regularly vandalised, and used by youths late at night causing disturbances and leaving their mess behind.

Putting secession on the ballot in a county is, pretty obviously, nothing more than a political stunt. It brings to mind those who launch efforts to amend the Constitution even though they know they're never going to succeed. I appreciate the value of a good political stunt, though.
Will the District of Columbia be able to provide an alternative for juvenile offenses that are better suited to reducing recidivism than prosecution in the court system?
D.C. is being treated like another federal agency and that has to stop. We are 632,000 people strong and must be allowed to spend our own tax money as every other city and state in the nation is allowed to do.
"If I had no money, if my life was crap, and all of a sudden I landed a few bucks, I sure as heck might blow it on something that made me feel good. I mean, that 30 bucks isn't going to get me into an apartment, but maybe the manicure'll make me feel human for a few minutes, you know?"
The bill to decriminalize marijuana in the District of Columbia is expected to pass the council later this year and could become law by early 2014.
To all who have favored but not worked toward drug policy reform because "the government will never allow it," let this be a lesson. Yesterday's announcement, was a direct result of millions of Americans uniting and forcing the government to do the right thing.
It will be a travesty if we don't move the primary away from the current date, which is April Fool's Day. The only ones who could like that date besides incumbents are the late night comedians and D.C. has given them enough fodder for jokes without this.
Over the years, Americans have had to come to term with inflation. Gas prices, medical costs have spiked, and food and housing all have put families in a precarious predicament. Yet, minimum wage hasn't quite made the necessary leap to offset some of these costs.
A single, heterosexual, 27-year-old white man with a bachelor's degree who wants to date a single, white, college-educated woman between 25 and 29 would actually have only about 7,000 choices in D.C. -- about the same number he would find on the campus of a big public university in a flyover state.
At the request of the D.C. Health Benefit Exchange Authority, the mayor sent a bill to the Council titled "The Better Prices, Better Quality, Better Choices for Health Coverage Amendment Act of 2013." It should read POTENTIALLY better.
We are ignoring the wisdom of our own community, and the chance to imagine D.C.'s future education policy as a city-wide, regenerative civic event.
College preparation should start earlier and should address the material barriers -- students need to see the whole college puzzle, not just the pieces for their application.
Mara does not represent the views of the people of the District of Columbia, which makes him wrong for the people of D.C.
Why in heaven's name did we stay on the sidelines; why not share our grief and our tragedy as a warning to everyone that losing a child to senseless gun violence is indescribable? As the saying goes "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy."
To be functionally cured means that after a few years of treatment, someone could theoretically stop their medication. Although HIV would still be found in the DNA of their cells, it would not reproduce, circulate in the blood and bodily fluids, and destroy the immune system.
D.C. can easily cover the sequester cuts, given the $400 million budget surplus it announced earlier this year. The outstanding question, however, is whether or not Mayor Vince Gray will be an advocate for this city's growing poor population.

So this tent doesn't need a footprint ?
MD Hilverda
Member since
Most tents don't really require a footprint but it can makes things cleaner and drier when the weather goes bad. The Marmot Limestone is a good example of a tent that is ready for the weather with fully taped floor and fly seams. However, I like to own a footprint for my tents because it is another level of protection both for the occupants of the tent and extends the life of the tent itself. The footprint on this tent is sold separately.
Awesome Tent!
Member since
The Marmot Limestone 4P Tent is a great tent, possibly one of the best on the market in my opinion. With great room on the inside, the Marmot Limestone 4P Tent really challenges the notion that a 4 person tent is really for 3 people. The Marmot Limestone 4P Tent's fly is made of 68d 100% Polyester Ripstop which is water resistant, and I can attest to the strength of the Marmot Limestone 4P Tent after being in windy and rainy conditions and being very confident it would get me through it. Berz Rating: 90/100 (Made in USA would get it a much higher rating)

Great Tent
Member since
This only took myself less than 5 min to set up and take down. Plenty of room. I stand 5 ft 8 in and my head just touched the roof. Roomy for 3 people however more than that it could be a little crowded. Haven t used it yet in the rain co cant commit on that however from what I have seen it seem to be a great tent. Very light weight and packs back in the bag easily.
Not good in wind
Member since
The first time I used this tent was a disaster. That night there were 30 mph winds. 2:30 in the morning the tent collapsed on me. One of the poles had bent in half and then stuck a big hole in the fly. Granted it was windy, but our group had 5 other tents or various types (none too fancy) and none of them collapsed or broke. The customer support from backcountry.com was superb. They were very apologetic and gave me a prompt refund and for that I am very grateful.

*UPDATE* Have now used this tent for 18 months on several trips in all conditions since my original review.
I LOVE this tent. It's one of my favorite pieces of outdoor gear. I love it so much I came back to update this review! It's been through several days and nights of steady rain and come out perfectly dry inside. Totally bombproof construction . Zippers are solid even after being manhandled repeatedly by kids. Plenty of room for me + 3 adults and we've even done 2 adults and 3 small kids. Condensation is minimal even with full occupancy and fly pulled down drum tight. The gear pockets on the sides are such a great idea.
OK - so this is one of those reviews that starts out 'I have only set this tent up in my yard but...' This tent REALLY can fit 4 people side by side (not alternating head to toe) comfortably. I know because this afternoon I made my whole family stop watching the tube and come out in the backyard and lay down inside it in their sleeping bags. At least my youngest thought this was fun. Anyway, there was PLENTY of room for the 4 of us without rubbing elbows. The vestibule (and the car) will hold most of our gear, so as long as its just sleeping bags and pads, this is perfect for a family of 4-5 depending on kid size. 4 adults could fit comfortably.
I debated quit a bit between this and the BA Big House, which gives 65 sq ft floor space compared to the Limestone's 60, but I'm pleased to say 60 is enough. Great job Marmot!

Member since
what is the difference between the limestone and halo?
Sam Matthews
Member since
The limestone is lighter and only has one door, as opposed to 2 on the halo. The halo has less room inside, I believe, but more room if you include the vestibule size. Hope this helps!

This is 4p Tent when it's rolled up and in its bag. It is easily carried. The water bottle is for size reference. Please write any questions, concerns or comments you may have. Thank you.
Member since
Does this tent really sleep 4? or is it more accurate to say 3 people plus gear?
Great Tent
Kraig Bailey
Member since
This tent is great, I took it out for 4 days over memorial weekend. The tent held up to the weather great and was easy to maintain. I had the gearloft and footprint with mine - they were nice and worked well. The tent is water proof so it was obviously easy to keep dry. The air flow is nice through the tent. Simply open but vestibules so air can get through their during the day while you're not using it and you'll find that it dries out quickly. The stakes were nice but the environment (rock) that I lied my tent was pretty unforgiving to them causing 1 to bend and become unusable. Overall I'd recommend this tent to anyone - It is very light for the size and if you're with a larger group you could carry it for backpacking as it packs very small if packed correctly. Thanks Marmot!
Thank you Marmot!~

I purchased mine when the complete package was came with the gear loft and footprint.
No gearloft or footprint - this is tent only
Member since
CAUTION: the great price comes at a cost- whereas just about everyone else sells the complete tent package, BackCountry has chosen to "deconstruct" this one - it's the tent ONLY. The full package costs just pennies less than the full MSRP of $299!!!
Don't I feel like a chump now?

My apologies. I got the Limestone and the Limelight confused.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use BRU to rename a drop a subfolder's parent from its name? For example, if I were to have a folder called "Beatles" with a subfolder called "Beatles, The White Album", I'd like to rename the subfolder to "The White Album". I have several thousand such folders which may or may not contain a subfolder with a part of it's parent's name.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

+ Key Club appeal date set for Sept. 17
Town Attorney David Persson has decided the Zoning Board of Adjustment has jurisdiction over The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation project's appeal.
The zoning board, Persson said, will hear the appeal at its 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 17 regular meeting.
The Longboat Key Association, which owns Longboat Club Road, appealed Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson's decision to deem the Islandside application complete earlier this month.
Persson said the zoning board would decide at the meeting, once and for all, whether the association has to sign the application because curb cuts need to be performed on Longboat Club Road.
Meanwhile, town staff is moving forward with coordinating a date and finding a suitable location for the Planning and Zoning Board's October public hearing on the proposed $400 million project.
+ Publix discussions get underway
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis, Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson and Commissioner Jim Brown met with Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets Inc. officials Friday, Aug. 21 to discuss potential plans for Avenue of the Flowers.
Publix spokesperson Shannon Patten said there is no news to report yet on plans for the plaza.
"We are still evaluating plans and exploring our options for the plaza," Patten said.
In the meantime, Publix has begun advertising spaces for lease in the existing plaza.
+ Commission addresses projects
The Longboat Key Town Commission will discuss the 2009-10 fiscal-year budget and two water-and-wastewater projects at two consecutive meetings starting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27, at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
After a budget discussion, the commission will consider approving a $2.1 million contractor bid that will pay for a project to upgrade town water lines along Gulf of Mexico Drive from Bay Isles Road to the south end of the Key starting in October.
The town will use part of its $7 million state revolving-fund loan, also known as an SRF loan, to fund the project. The SRF loan has a 2.82% interest rate.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa said the bid is lower than the anticipated $4 million that staff originally expected the project would cost.
The project is expected to take at least 18 months to complete.

Seasons change and so much accessories.
So much for that old adage: May is bringing the East Coast more showers than flowers, making the umbrella the week's most necessary accessory. Here, the actress Brooklyn Decker defends her cobalt top and printed mini from unwanted water stains with a heavy-duty rain repeller; the actress Jaime King gets some assistance from one that clashes beautifully with her floor-length red dress; and the new first lady of France, Valérie Trierweiler, keeps dry and perfectly polished under an umbrella built for two.

Dancers use body movement to express ideas and tell stories. Professional dancers find employment in dance companies, musicals, and other theatrical productions. Other entertainment fields including television, films, or music videos also offer employment opportunities to dancers. Most opportunities are in major metropolitan areas. Dancers and choreographers who are interested in teaching find work in schools, universities, and private dance studios. Other employers include local parks, senior citizen homes, youth centers, and social service agencies. Because employment for dancers is highly competitive, dance majors often choose to pursue careers closely related to dance including behind the scenes careers in management, production, sales, publishing, and advertising.
The following occupations represent some career opportunities available to dance majors. Some will require additional education. For more information visit the Career Center in Lucina 220.

LCSC Home | Warrior Athletics | Contact Us
Coach Collins thought when he started coaching at Lewis-Clark State that he would be here only a year or two as he was finishing up his Ph.D. at the University of Idaho. Little did he know that he would fall in love with coaching and the athletes. That was in 1997 and now Collins is entering his 12th year at the college and in that time he has taken a program that just battled to field teams – let alone race – into a program that is battling every year with the top teams in the country.
In the past nine years the teams have produced over 40 All-Americans, two conference Runner of the Year winners, one Region I Runner of the Year and champion, and numerous all-conference and all-region selections. Additionally the Education Division's student of the year has been a cross country runner three times (2001, 2003, and 2008). Collins was also honored this past season as the Frontier Conference Men's and Women's Coach of the Year.
For the past seven years the women's cross country team has placed in the top 25 at nationals each year finishing 15th, 9th, 19th, 17th, 19th, 21st, and 19th. Additionally, 2003 was the first year that a full men's team qualified for nationals and it finished 23rd; in 2006 they finished 21st and this past season they finished 18th and were ranked as high as No. 4 in the nation.
Collins works hard to stay on top of the current research, science and methods in regards to coaching his runners. He has a master's degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Utah and a Ph.D. in Sport Science from the University of Idaho. All of his research at both schools dealt with improving the performances of endurance athletes. He is also a USATF Certified Level II coach with a specialization in endurance and is working towards his Level III. Although Collins works hard to stay on top of the latest in the sport, he is a big believer in the heart and work ethic of his athletes. No matter what they may or may not have been "gifted" with, if they are willing to work hard, they will get faster.
He is also a part of the leadership within the sport of running, serving as First Vice President for the NAIA Cross Country Coaches Association and has been a national rater for the past seven years.
In his spare time Collins enjoys fly fishing, running, doing triathlons and spending time with his family. His wife Tracy, is the head athletic trainer at Lewis-Clark State and assists with the team. His two daughters (Kassie – 7 and Emily – 4) provide a great deal of fun and have already indicated that they want to run for daddy some day and be a "country kid". From an athletic standpoint, Collins has qualified for the U.S. Triathlon National Championships five times and completed his first Ironman Triathlon (2.4m swim, 112m bike, 26.2m run) in 2005 finishing in 11:06.24 after cramping up 13 miles into the run. He is scheduled to race another one in 2009.
Collins also believes that he should be willing to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. In addition to the triathlons, he runs on a daily basis and pushes himself to stay fit. Although he doesn't run at the same level of his athletes, he works to be a good example of what it means to be committed to your sport, to work and train hard to be better.
Assistant Coach Tracy Collins email@example.com
Tracy has served as an assistant coach since the beginning of the program and was instrumental in convincing her husband to come in and coach the team. As the athletic department's head athletic trainer, she evaluates and treats the injuries of all athletes at the college, including those of the Warrior runners. She plays a major role in the development of the cross country scholarship program, where individuals and businesses contribute money to the team to be used by the student-athletes to help offset the costs of going to school. She also does many of the other administrative duties that help to keep the program moving in the right direction.
Tracy is a certified athletic trainer and has served as the ATC at Lewis-Clark State College for more than a decade. She also is a member of the NATA and the Idaho Athletic Trainers Association. She is also a board member of the Idaho State Board of Medicine for Athletic Trainers and is currently serving as its chair.
Tracy is a native of Lewiston and attended Lewiston High School, where she established several school records as a sprinter. Throughout her high school track career she finished first in several relays and in the 100 and 200 her junior year at the Idaho State Meet. When she graduated in 1988, Tracy held six individual and relay records in track and several of those still stand today, including an 11.93 time in the 100 meters and a 24.97 clocking in the 200.
Tracy ran track at Boise State University, competing in the 100, 200 and 400 meters as well as on relay teams. She graduated from BSU in 1993 with a Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training. She is currently working on her Master's degree.
Now Tracy spends a lot of her time running after her daughters Kassie and Emily, and loves being a mom. When she has time, she enjoys reading, photography, scrapbooking, and staying at the family's cabin on the Selway River.
Assistant Coach Calin Hantau
Calin came to the program in 2006 and quickly became one of the best runners the program has produced. In his two years he earned three all-American honors (two in cross country and one in track), finishing 10th overall at the national cross country championships in 2006. He hold many school records in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and was the Region I and Frontier Conference Champion and Runner of the Year in 2007.
He will now take his running expertise to the coaching side of the sport as he will assist Coach Collins during the cross country season. He is scheduled to graduate in December with a degree in Kinesiology and is planning on going to graduate school and hopefully continue his coaching as a graduate assistant somewhere.

The title basically says it all. I want to try out some individual classes at TAD, but I don't know which ones would be most beneficial for me. I mean yes, all of them would probably make a huge difference in my art. Yet I want to take the ones that will help my weak points.
One thing I do know is that I'm terrible at coloring and light value. I'm moderate when it comes to the human anatomy, and vehicles. I'm also terrible when it comes to composition.
I know that I should probably take the Composition and Color Theory class so I'll do that. I want to take a second class as well. Any suggestions for someone of my art level?
Also, here's some samples of my work from my sketchpad to help assess what I need:
I would be extremely grateful for any critical suggestions at all.

Johnson & Wales is a professional and hands on school. You jump right into your major and don't take just general ed classes. The surrounding area looks for JWU students…
Johnson & Wales University, an exceptional education that inspires professional success and lifelong personal and intellectual growth.
As a CE student, there's not much collegiate life to be had. You get in, you get out. JWU rarely fosters their CE community as much as they do their Day division.
Read MoreI love it here at JWU! I have made many great friends and am getting a great education. There are also many great clubs and sports to be a part of.
Read MoreHonestly I love it here. Everyone is so friendly and yes I do get homesick sometimes but i get over it when I am hanging out with people. The dorms are very nice especially the upperclassmen ones because they are like an apartment style (good thing to look forward to) but they can be pricey. The food on campus isn't always that great but there are alot of places around the campus to eat at. Also you use your ID card to swipe for food. You get 15 swipes a week and 5 guess swipes a trimester so use it wisely. There's also a Starbucks on both the Harborside and Downcity Campus. There are many of different clubs, organizations, and sports to do so i recommend getting involved in something because you meet alot of new people that way.
Read MoreAfter going to orientation and staying there, I honestly feel the JWU is the right fit. There are so many things to do so there is no way that you can have boredom.

Oedipus (Myths and Legends of the World)
Oedipus was a tragic hero of Greek mythology, a king doomed to a dire fate because he unknowingly killed his father and married his mother. His story is the tale of someone who, because he did not know his true identity, followed the wrong path in life. Once he had set foot on that path, his best qualities could not save him from the results of actions that violated the laws of gods and men. Oedipus represents two enduring themes of Greek myth and drama: the flawed nature of humanity and an individual's powerlessness against the course of destiny in a harsh universe.
The Myth. The story begins with a son born to King Laius and Queen Jocasta of . The oraclepriest or priestess or other creature through whom a god is believed to speak; also the location (such as a shrine) where such words are spoken at told them that their child would grow up to murder Laius and marry Jocasta. Horrified, the king fastened the infant's feet together with a large pin and left him on a mountainside to die.
However, shepherds found the babyho became known as Oedipus, or "swollen foot"nd took him to the city of Corinth. There King Polybus and Queen Merope adopted him and raised him to think that he was their own son. When Oedipus was grown, however, someone told him that he was not the son of Polybus.

How many of these tracks can be used in a series
If I am using Ht8, Ht6, and Ht4 track, what is the part number for the end caps, couplings, 45 degree fittings, and conduit live end feeds?
A. All of the H track sections include 2 matching end caps with them. If you're looking for connectors it would be Part No. HI or Part No. HI-DEC, which is dead-end connector. If you are looking to extend a track down from the ceiling then you want Part No. RI and an all track suspension kit Part No. SK. There are connectors that join two tracks together that do a 90 degree, which is Part No. HL-LEFT or Part No. HL-RIGHT. Or there's a flexible tract that gives you angels from 60 to 180 degree and is Part No. HFLX.
Can you cut this track to custom length yourself?

South Sound: Zittel's Johnson Point Marina reports there haven't been enough anglers heading out to get an idea for how good the fishing might be in the area.
Tacoma: The staff at the Point Defiance Boathouse Marina reports fishing in the area is finally picking up after a slow February. Anglers are heading to Dalco and the waters in front of the boathouse to catch blackmouth. Fish are biting at 140-150 feet for those trolling with flasher and spoon.
North Sound: Mike Chamberlain of Ted's Sports Center in Lynnwood said fishing has been slow, but some anglers are having luck around the San Juan Islands.
Razor clams: The WDFW has tentatively scheduled the next coastal razor clam dig for March 7-11 at Twin Harbors and March 9-10 at Long Beach, Copalis and Mocrocks.
American: Mike Barr of Bill's Boathouse said the action is good even if it's not quite as hot as three weeks ago. He has caught several trout, mostly in the 13-to-17-inch range but has yet to see perch or rock bass. He recommends using PowerBait with a 6-foot leader. "The weather's not great," he said, "but there are still fish being caught."
Spanaway: Bud Herlitzka of the Spanaway Park Boat House said "if you're going to come out be patient." The fish are fairly deep. Anglers are catching fish while trolling and still-fishing, but the action is slow on the dock. Herlitzka recommends using PowerBait with a 2-foot leader for still-fishing.
Offut: PowerBait and worms have worked for some anglers.
Saint Clair: Rainbow trout are biting here.
Green: Fishing for browns has been quite good this week, Chamberlain said.
Washington: Cutthroat fishing has been good here, but not many anglers are trying, Chamberlain said.
Eastern Washington: Anton Jones at Darrell and Dad's Family Guide Service said fishing is hot for those trolling for trout below Wapato Point on Lake Chelan. At Rufus Woods Lake, fishing is has been tough but some are catching fish, Jones said. The ice isn't good on Roses Lake, and Jones said he wouldn't recommend fishing there. Seep Lakes opened Friday, and Chamberlain said customers in his shop are heading east in anticipation of good fishing in the lakes around George and Quincy. Trout fishing has been good on Lake Roosevelt. Bank anglers using PowerBait, eggs or night crawlers with marshmallows are doing well
Columbia: Catches are "few and far between," Chamberlain said.
Olympic Coast: The Hoh, Calawah and Sol Duc were a good place to try for steelhead earlier this week, but rivers might be out of shape now thanks to heavy rain on Thursday.
Skookumchuck: Some anglers are landing steelhead with eggs and shrimp-tipped jigs under a float.
Washougal: Some anglers are catching steelhead here, but action seems slow according to a recent WDFW sample.

"Only moments before, I lay in the Arizona cave paralyzed by a strange gas. Now, here I stand on the Arizona bluff, my bodyless spirit gazing at the stars. My attention is drawn to a large red star, Mars, the god of war, and for me, the fighting man, it has always held the power of irresistible enchantment. I closed my eyes, stretched out my arms and was drawn through the trackless immensity of space. There was an instant of extreme cold and utter darkness. I opened my eyes upon a strange and weird landscape. I knew that I was on Mars."
