How to Set a Decent Ring Tone for the Reminder with S Planner?
Wednesday 13th of June 2012
The S Planner on the SGS3 is OK and easy to use but I am unable to set an alarm tone other than use the notification tone/s for the reminders...is there any way of changing this so that a proper ring tone can be used for the reminders. (Only having the short notification sound byte is not enough for me and I would like something that rings like a ring tone but do not know how to set this up)Thanks

How to set a default keyboard language on the lock screen?
Monday 07th of January 2013
I have multiple languages set up on my keyboard (and using Swype primarily).Since my password consists of English letters, if my keyboard was last used in a different language, I have to first switch language on the lock screen before starting to type the password. This is very annoying and in aggregate quite time consuming.Is there any way to get the keyboard to always default to English in the password entry field of the locked screen?

How to set a pink theme for Android phones on CM10 or AOKP Jelly Bean
Tuesday 04th of September 2012
There is nothing wrong with liking the color pink. Let's just get that out there. You certainly don't need to be a girl to like the color and that's exactly why XDA Developers member Annex1 put together this hot pink Jelly Bean custom theme for us. It injects a nice shock of color in place of the typical blue we've been seeing on newer software. It'll definitely make your phone stand out in small but noticeable ways from the rest of the crowd.Because it's a Jelly Bean theme, it will only work on CyanogenMod 10 or AOKP Jelly Bean custom ROMs, but the good news is that as long as your phone can run either of the two ROMs, you'll be able to enjoy this new look.In this guide, we'll show you how to set a pink theme for Android phones on CM10 or AOKP Jelly Bean.WarningThe instructions in this guide are intended for use with any Android phone running on a CyanogenMod 10 or AOKP Jelly Bean ROM with a theme engine. Applying these instructions on another device or model may produce undesired outcomes.The information in this guide is provided for

How to set a default program for a file type, not individual files.
Friday 07th of June 2013
Hi, I'm using Polkast to view and download files from my computer and every time I download and open a file I am prompted to 'Complete action using:' and I have to search and select the same app for every file, since 'Always' is only for the individual file and not that file type. It's a minor annoyance but is there any way to make it such that the app is automatically used for files of that type and not just the individual files.Thanks for your help, and sorry if this is the wrong place for this query I wasn't sure where to post.

I have a Moto X, and using google now, when I say "sent text to nancy jones". It then prompts me with a home, work, or mobile phone number, none of which are numbers I want to send the text to. Normally I send texts using Hangouts to . Is it possible to configure the phone so I can say "send text to nancy jones", and it defaults to ? Then being to speak the message would be great too, being completely hands free. -Thanks

Is there a way to have a Themer type home screen on the lock screen?
Thursday 10th of July 2014
What I'd like to have is a lock screen that shows the date, time, maybe weather, but most importantly missed calls, texts, and emails. I just started experimenting with Themer, which has some beautiful home screens that do exactly this, but of course I want this on the lock screen instead.I also tried Cover, but that only seems to give you access to app icons and such, not hugely different than the default lock screen. So is there a way to have these Themer-style designs on the lock screen? Thanks!

DU Speed Booster: give your Android phone a fast tune-up
|Developer: DU Apps Studio
|Download: Android
|Category: Tools
|Price: Free
Right after DU Speed Booster is launched, it performs a quick scan of the device to measure its overall efficiency.
DU Speed Booster has a feature called Accelerator, which lists all your currently running apps and recommends you to close the most RAM-hungry ones to free up memory. This is an extremely convenient way to quickly identify and stop the most resource-intensive apps that are using your phone's RAM. DU Speed Booster lets you do all of that in one tap, which definitely beats looking through all of your running apps and closing them one-by-one – something anyone with a smartphone is regretably familiar with. From our experience, using the Accelerator resulted in a snappier experience using our smartphones.
Then, we came across a feature that's extremely useful – the Trash Cleaner. It scans the device's storage space and lists any files that can be deleted safely. Doing so can free up quite a lot of storage space on your phone. For example, we freed up around 880 megabytes in a single go. Still, one has to be careful not to delete any files that they actually need, such as offline map data, or cache files that might still be useful.
The App Manager also works quite well. It can be used to uninstall multiple apps simultaneously, which is great if you need to free up space. It can also scan for apps that can be moved over to the phone's micro SD card. Another feature we find handy is the option to view apps and their permissions. This makes it easy to identify suspicious apps, which access data they're not supposed to. But the feature we found most useful was the start-up manager. It can control the list of apps set to load when the phone is booted up. Keeping this list short is very likely to improve your device's performance, especially if it has lots of apps installed on it.
To protect people's data, DU Speed Booster includes a virus scanner, which scans every installed application for suspicious activity. App updates are monitored as well, just in case. The scanner runs in the background so you don't need to launch DU Speed Booster every time you want it to double-check an app's safety for you.
So that's DU Speed Booster for you. It has some really useful features, such as the App Manager, the Trash Cleaner, and the Virus Scanner. It can definitely give a boost to Android phones (particularly ones with older hardware), or ones that are loaded to the brim with applications. We recommend giving it a try.

I can go to Settings - Apps and see the memory usage of each running or cached app and I can stop them individually or I can go to Setting - Storage and clear the cache in a click (and see what's using up my space). This app is a Kardashian - pretty but useless.

VeriBest Launches Expedition PCB Incorporating AutoActive
Board Design Tools which Incorporates a Revolutionary Technology
Within the PCB Environment
BOULDER, Colo., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- VeriBest(R), Inc. (VeriBest), the leading provider of EDA systems solutions for Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R), has announced the launch of Expedition PCB, a series of scalable products for printed circuit board (PCB) design to address all levels of design complexity. The series is comprised of three products -- Ascent, Advance and Pinnacle, each built around AutoActive(TM), a real-time PCB design assistance technology. The exclusive AutoActive environment is available for every task in a PCB design from setting design rules to batch routing and provides 100% design compatibility across the series. Interfacing with other VeriBest digital, analog and library management products, Expedition PCB provides companies with a complete EDA system solution and scalable alternatives to match the needs of its design groups.
According to Brian Andrews, director of product marketing for VeriBest, AutoActive couples a designer's experience with automatic features. "Every single task that a PCB designer needs to perform can be achieved within the new AutoActive environment, revolutionizing the manner in which PCBs are designed. Users will literally have the full power of an automated system available at their fingertips, allowing the experience of a designer to flourish within the most advanced editing system available. The real advance is that VeriBest is making this unique technology available in all of its new Expedition PCB products, so all levels of users can benefit from its capabilities."
Traditionally, most PCB tools are written with two distinctly different design paradigms, a manual interactive editor and an automatic batch design environment. The traditional manual interactive environment forces users to manually create various aspects of their overall design requirements. The traditional automatic environment is used for background or batch, tasks such as automatic placement and track routing.
Recognizing a need for a change in the philosophy of PCB design, VeriBest developed a single editing environment, coupling the flexibility of a traditional interactive editor within a fully automatic environment, resulting in the merger of Auto(matic) with (inter)active, becoming AutoActive. Because of this advanced AutoActive technology, there are no rules or boundaries limits. The system constantly checks and prevents errors from occurring. The end result is the ability to design a high quality, production-ready board in a fraction of the time.
According to Steve Herbstman, director of operations for Electronics Systems Packaging, "In my career I have used in excess of 10 different CAD systems and routers. The VeriBest AutoActive environment is the most powerful interconnect and routing environment I have ever experienced."
Expedition PCB Series
VeriBest adds to its suite of scalable EDA tools and redefines its PCB offering with the Expedition PCB Series. Now users can choose from three distinct product categories to match current design needs, yet have the flexibility to upgrade as they evolve into more advanced technologies. Also compelling is the fact that the products are fully interchangeable so that designs can be moved from one level to another for additional functionality and then back again without loss of that data. This is due to the unlimited and open environment of the AutoActive technology.
* Ascent - This product addresses the needs of designers doing standard, low frequency (under 50 MHz) boards. Built on the AutoActive technology, Ascent provides full rules capability, enabling signal constraints to be defined and monitored throughout the design process, gerber output and an unrestricted technology environment. In other words, there are no layer, component or pin count limits for a board. The product is priced starting at $7,500 (US) for a single license on Windows NT.
* Advance - Designers looking for more automation from their PCB tool will be interested in Advance. Advance includes all of the functionality of Ascent with an increased level of automation applied to key tasks. In Advance, placement and routing tasks are automated without losing the benefits of the AutoActive environment. Designers may still apply their skill and knowledge to critical issues before handing control over to the sophisticated placement and routing functions. Additional tools for signal integrity and thermal analysis may be added to the Advance design tool to help ensure that the design performs to the expected standards. Prices start at $18,000 (US) for a single floating license on Windows NT.
* Pinnacle - For designers needing extremely high functionality, very high-speed design capability and high volume production, Pinnacle offers optimum automation. In addition to supporting differential pairs and design for manufacturing, Pinnacle includes integrated mechanical design capability that is engineered with Microstation Modeler from Bentley Systems, a Gerber reader (in addition to the standard Gerber output available with the Expedition Series), and customized reports. Expanding upon the increased levels of AutoActive control found within Ascent and Advance, Pinnacle delivers the highest level of automation available within the Expedition Series. Such tasks as automatically spreading and expanding traces for manufacturing purposes, to creating a fully detailed and customized documentation and Bill of Materials (BOM) set are accomplished in the most expedient manner possible. The result is completing designs in the shortest possible time while still maintaining the highest levels of quality. Pinnacle pricing starts at $36,000 (US) for a single floating license on Windows NT.
All products and the AutoActive technology will be available with VeriBest release 99.0 in August of 1998.

Timmons closer to decision after UK visit
Franklin County's Ryan Timmons had his long-awaited official visit to Kentucky this weekend. Read…
|Receivers Timmons, Badet headline visit list
Ryan Timmons
Big-ply wide receivers Ryan Timmons and Jeff Badet headline a group of expected official visitors to Kentucky this weekend. Read more about them in this KentuckyScout update.
Kentucky coach Mark Stoops hopes to keep the recruiting momentum rolling as the Wildcats play host to more talented prospects this weekend.
Headlining the list of expected official visitors are Frankfort (Ky.) Franklin County athlete/receiver Ryan Timmons and Orlando (Fla.) Freedom High School wideout Jeff Badet.
Timmons (5-11, 185, 4.4) is one of the best all-around athletes to come through the Bluegrass State in years. As a senior, he accounted for 2,368 yards of total offense, rushing for 1,364 and hauling in 33 passes for 1,004 yards. He scored 45 touchdowns last season on only 124 touches, averaging a TD every 2.7 times he had the ball in his hands.
Kentucky was battling Arkansas for Timmons early in the process, but the Razorbacks are no longer in the mix. California and Missouri recently extended scholarship offers, and Florida and Ohio State have expressed interest.
The Gators have former UK head coach Joker Phillips, who had developed a strong relationship with Timmons during his time in Lexington, recruiting the Flyers star, but it's unclear where he falls on Florida's wide receiver board at this time or if an official scholarship offer will be extended. The same holds true for the Buckeyes, who have other targets ranked above Timmons and are facing scholarship reductions from NCAA sanctions that may make it difficult to produce an offer.
Badet (5-11, 170, 4.5) is coming off a senior season which saw him catch 64 passes for 903 yards and 17 touchdowns. A group of ACC programs, including Wake Forest, N.C. State and Clemson, appear to be the Cats' biggest challengers for his services. Clemson has yet to offer, but could become a factor late as they are pursuing both Badet and close friend/fellow UK target Asiantii Woulard, a four-star prospect and U.S. Army All-American quarterback from Florida's Winter Park High School.
Badet originally committed to South Florida before re-opening his recruitment due to staff changes with the Bulls.
Kentucky is also expected to entertain three-star Tustin (Calif.) High School center David Maka (6-5, 330), who has Arizona, Washington and Utah rounding out his final list.
Three-star Loganville (Ga.) Grayson defensive back David Kamara may also be on the UK campus this weekend. He says UK, LSU, Ole Miss and Texas Tech are at the top of his list with national signing day approaching. The Rebels are considered by many to be the toughest competition for Kamara, who is the teammate of the nation's No. 1 overall prospect, defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, also thought to be leaning toward Ole Miss.
A potential major addition to the visitor list is four-star Youngstown (Ohio) Cardinal Mooney safety Marcus McWilson, who is committed to Nebraska, but has been in talks with the UK staff recently. McWilson, rated the nation's No. 16 safety prospect by FOX Sports and Scout, told KentuckyScout earlier this week that he may take a trip to Lexington to make sure he feels comfortable with his final decision.
Previously committed players Jacob Hyde, Khalid Thomas and Nate Willis may also be part of the weekend festivities.

24-Hour Exhibition: One and Three United States
Gallery Talk: Monday, November 17th, 5pm, Kibel Gallery. Reception to follow.
Table in Rome 2: Forum as Planted Field is an art installation funded by a University of Maryland Creative and performing Arts Award that involves interactive sculpture and descriptive architectural drawings.
Lecture: Wednesday, November 12th, 5pm, School of Architecture Auditorium. Reception to follow, Kibel Gallery.
This exhibit crafts an interdependence between computing and drawing in an effort to question the role of the singular "author" within contemporary design culture. With apparatuses and algorithms designed specifically for the Linear Gallery site, visitors participate in multiple "slowly computed" and "slowly made" drawings that occur over the course of the exhibit.
The Renaissance and Baroque stereotomy upon which this exhibit concentrates was largely a Spanish and French development from stonecutting techniques of very ancient and perhaps Middle Eastern origin. To be sure, techniques of stereotomy were known and used in other countries such as Italy and Germany during the Renaissance and before.
This exhibition, premiering in the Kibel Gallery, showcases more than 30 drawings by Brian Kelly, Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Maryland. The drawings fall into two broad categories. Referential drawings serve as personal theaters of memory by recording encounters with architectural, urban and landscape artifacts.
Over the last few decades, a rich and increasingly diverse practice has emerged in the art world that invites the public to touch, enter, and experience the work, whether it is in a gallery, on city streets, or in the landscape. Like architecture, many of these temporary artworks aspire to alter viewers' experience of the environment.
"Ruth Adler Schnee: A Passion for Color and Design" pays tribute to this important figure, exploring her life, her work, and the challenges she faced as a woman designer. Schnee, who has been called a "Detroit Treasure," helped to bring the Mid-Century Modern movement to Michigan. Her work has been shown by the Detroit Institute of Arts and collected by the Archives of American Art.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: General practitioners play an important role in the detection and clinical management of influenza. The Australian Sentinel Practice Research Network (ASPREN) has been collecting data from sentinel GPs on selected conditions, including influenza-like illness (ILI), since 1991 to inform public health authorities of communicable disease activity in the community. METHODS: Weekly incidence of ILI data reported by ASPREN GPs in 2007-2008 was compared with data from two separate surveillance systems: New South Wales data from FluTracking, an online self reporting ILI surveillance system; and national laboratory notifications of influenza reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System between 2003 and 2008. RESULTS: ASPREN recorded peak ILI rates of 47 per 1000 consultations in week 30 (ending 29 July) 2007 and 34 per 1000 consultations in week 36 (ending 7 September) 2008. Similar trends in incidence were seen in FluTracking cough and fever rates, ASPREN data in New South Wales and National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System laboratory notifications. DISCUSSION: Data captured by the three separate surveillance systems provide complementary information regarding influenza in the Australian population. 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry imaging of lipids in rat brain tissue with integrated unsupervised and supervised multivariant statistical analysis Trim, P.J.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To describe survival patterns in a nationally complete cohort of Australian women with epithelial ovarian cancer, by sociodemographic and clinical factors. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: All 1192 women diagnosed with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer in 2005 were identified through state-based cancer registries. We obtained detailed information from their medical records in 2009 and updated survival data in 2012. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Crude 3-year, 5-year and 7-year survival rates; 3-year and 5-year conditional survival; and hazard ratios (HRs) for the association of participant and cancer characteristics with survival, from multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: Overall crude 5-year survival was 35% (95% CI, 33%-38%). Conditional survival increased moderately for women who lived beyond a year from diagnosis, although for women alive 2 years after diagnosis, the probability of surviving a further 5 years was still only 53% (95% CI, 49%-57%). Increasing age and disease stage were most strongly associated with poor survival. After adjusting for these, survival was significantly worse for women with carcinosarcomas (HRadj, 2.1 [95% CI, 1.3-3.2]), clear cell (HRadj, 1.7 [95% CI, 1.2-2.3]) and mucinous (HRadj, 2.6 [95% CI, 1.6-4.0]) cancers than for women with serous cancers. Presence of ascites at diagnosis (HRadj, 1.5 [95% CI, 1.3-1.8]), Charlson comorbidity score ≥ 3 (HRadj, 1.5 [95% CI, 1.1-2.1]), relative socioeconomic disadvantage (HRadj, 1.2 [95% CI, 1.1-1.4]) and regional-remote residence (HRadj, 1.2 [95% CI, 1.0-1.4]) were also associated with poorer survival. CONCLUSIONS: Along with expected adverse effects of age and stage, we found survival differences by histological subtype, presence of ascites and comorbidities. Whether geographic and socioeconomic differences relate to treatment access or other factors warrants further investigation. Conditional survival estimates confirm the ongoing poor long-term prognosis for women with ovarian cancer, reinforcing the need for prevention and better treatments. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z

Originally written on nba.com/suns | Last updated 11/18/14
By Stefan Swiat, Suns.com Posted: August 16, 2007 When you look back at all of the memorable Suns that have hailed from Santa Clara University, you think of Dennis Awtrey, Kurt Rambis and, of course, Steve Nash. Tragically, one player who might have been near the top of the list, had his career ended before it ever really started. Nick Vanos graduated from Santa Clara, second in scoring and the school's all-time leading shot blocker. The 7-foot-2, 260 lbs. center was Phoenix's 32nd pick out of the second round of the 1985 Draft, drafted as a backup to an aging Alvan Adams. Adams remembered him fondly as a rookie that was just thrilled to be a professional. "In his first year, he was like, 'Wow, I'm in the NBA,'" Adams said. "He was 7-2, and we were hoping this would be our 'big guy.'"

Re: Official WWE 13 Thread
A big factor in getting cutscenes is NOT having shared titles between brands. When you do that then you have wrestlers from other brands having matches on other shows, and the game WILL NOT set up storylines between wrestlers from different bands. Thusly, those matches will not have cutscenes and will not be a part of a storyline.
Some other notes:
Storylines last 4 weeks and only advance if you actually see the cutscene (meaning you have to run the match, not simulate).
The feud packs from Attitude Era mode only relate to Attitude Era star-specific cutscenes. There's apparently 50 of these, and 150 non AE-specific cutscenes.
Also the first month of Universe mode appears buggy in regards to storylines so I'd advise simulating the entire first month before adjusting everything to your liking.
With all this in mind I've actually had every match on the card be part of a storyline. You don't always get a cutscene, but the feud will still continue the following week and you'll get a cutscene at some points. Then if you wish you can always use up some non-title match slots on the PPV to have a blowoff match. Since I only have one brand I have about half a PPV card to include non-title feuds.
Press Play to wake up.

World Cup kicks off in style with Pitbull and JLo
Itaquerao Stadium shined under blue skies as Brazil kicked off its home World Cup with a football-style Carnival Thursday before thousands of dancing yellow-clad fans, who seemed eager to put construction delays and protests behind them.
AP Sports Writer
Follow the 2014 World Cup with our dynamic event guide that has live results, schedule and group info as well as news and predictions from the first kick on June 12 to the final whistle on July 13.
Itaquerao Stadium shined under blue skies as Brazil kicked off its home World Cup with a football-style Carnival Thursday before thousands of dancing yellow-clad fans, who seemed eager to put construction delays and protests behind them.
Jennifer Lopez, rapper Pitbull and pop star Claudia Leitte bounced around a giant stage resembling a peeled melon singing the World Cup theme "We Are One" as Brazilian band Olodum banged drums below on this nation's Valentine's Day.
JLo, dressed in a low-cut sparkling green outfit, turned up for the performance despite earlier reports that she wouldn't be able to attend.
Brazil is ready to samba, and plans to teach the world to join in for the coming month during the showcase tournament for the world's most popular sport. The futebol-crazed country hoped Thursday's Croatia-Brazil opener would be the start of a run to extend its record to six World Cup titles.
At one point at the end of the ceremony, fans chanted and booed against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and soccer's governing body, FIFA. Many in the nation have complained that spending on the World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics has diverted cash from the poor and infrastructure improvements.
Although traffic and transit strikes have plagued the sprawling Sao Paulo area in recent weeks, thousands made it into Itaquerao Stadium in plenty of time to party. The home fans cheered alongside small pockets of spirited Croatians in their checkered red and white tops.
The field was covered in multi-colored rays for the opening ceremony, which cost 18 million Brazilian reais, or about $8 million. A stadium worker died March 29 while installing temporary seats for the opener after construction already had been behind schedule.
Video highlights and memorable bloopers from past World Cups were shown on the big screens at either end of the stadium toward the conclusion of the 30-minute show.
The program was choreographed by Paulo Barros, a two-time winner of the samba school title at the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. After 100 hours of rehearsal and 31 auditions, circus artists and army soldiers were among those who performed.

Sassieon Dupris - Thug Town
Artist: Sassieon Dupris
Producer: Quentin Miller
Album: Love| Fear| & Fantasies II
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 2 votes )
Tupac once hypothesized about a magical place called Thugz Mansion where a thug could finally lay his weary head to rest. Growing Booth fave Sassieon Dupris takes that concept one step further on his latest single, taking us to a place called Thug Town. Dupris uses his glossy, airy vocals to paint a picture of being "back in the city of them thugs," over producer Quentin Miller's cushioned, synth driven boardwork. While the title and lyrical content might be familiar to those who fancy a street-driven tune, Sassieon's feathery style and the unique production give it a totally different vibe that makes this jam a quite refreshing, different listen. Thug Town can be found on Sassieon's Love| Fear| & Fantasies II album, available for free stream right here at The DJBooth.

When life hands you Christmas Day snow, build a kegerator!
Here's my "little" Kegerator
My igloo fr465 kegerator

Primary 1 Hoppy birthday IPA
Primary 2 Citra blonde
Secondary: Do people still use secondaries?
Drinking: Beer from the store :(
Can't seem to figure out how to rotate..so maybe just put yoir head sideways..
Finally finished mine. Nothing fancy, but I like it.
Was my old single tower/faucet kegerator, I converted it to this..
Here are some pictures of my Perlick keg cooler that I converted to hold 6 corneys.

Hawaii Hiatus
|Sunset at Waikiki
It's been quite awhile since I have been here to blog about altered books and other projects. However I have a good excuse. OK, not really, but planning a 2 week getaway 5000 miles away from home all by my big bad girl self, was a really BIG DEAL for me.
The purpose of the long trek to Hawaii was to reunite with my beautiful island Mama's family. Most of whom I have never met before. And what a beautiful family they are. I am truly blessed. Even have a little 13 year old hula dancer cousin. And thankfully, I came back just in time to see the gorgeous colors of Autumn in the Northeast. Culture shock going...and coming back. But it's soooo true...THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, as I strum my ukulele...
Skywatch Friday here...and I'm actually early for once!!! GO ME!!!

Art Journal Book Swap/Hop
Another page done along the NEVERENDING journey of the Art Journals. This is my page in Kitty's book using one of her prompts.."colors came alive for her". It was just the right prompt, too, because I was ready to play in color out of doors.
The swap should be winding down soon...at least I hope so, it's been over a year that we have been swapping journals. Hope you enjoy!
|Couldn't resist adding one of my new paper flowers...
hula~la la la la la...I'm just sayin'...

Pay It Forward...with Art
Yesterday at the lovely gardens of Happy Herbs Soap at Two Crow Cottage, the Arty Tea Party gang dabbled in Water Color Batik on Unryu Paper. This lovely paper is light weight and translucent with fibers, and is quite strong.
Under the instruction of our Dear Rosebud Sandy, we took the watercolor to the paper, brushed on spots of melted soy wax, more watercolor layers...and while hanging to dry, we eat, drink and become quite merry...(Sangria helped with the merry part).
|This is my first layer of watercolor.
|My next layer after I brushed and blotted abit of wax.
|These are the two I made. I like them!
For more of the Water Color Batik, visit the ARTY TEA PARTY blog!
And now, because I am in such a happy state, I wanted to share a new project I have signed onto!
I promise to make a small work of art for the first five people who comment on this post and say "YES, I want in". A 'like' alone is not enough of a commitment, nor is a comment about thinking Pay It Forward is a great idea. You must in turn post this as your status update and make something for the first five who comment on your status. The rules are simple: – It has to be your work, made by you, and the recipient must receive it before 2014 ends. – It can be anything art-based: a drawing/illustration or a conceptual work of art, a photograph, a knitted item, cross-stitch, paper maché – or anything in between. I'm paying this forward thanks to Deborah Weber.
Perhaps a Water Color Batik card is in your future...ALOHA!!!

Scrap Paper Flowers
Jennibellie, and I just couldn't stop.
|This one is now in Rosebud Sandy's possession. My fave!
|And really, the paper possibilities are endless!!!
I plan to use them on some of my altered book projects. I think they would be great on cards and give a special touch to gift wrapping.

OK, so when I get some sense of order and manage to get some ME time in, I will continue the posting of the many books and pages. It's a great project, and so much fun to see the individual styles and talents. Aloha for now!

Spring...Glorious Spring
1. I wish I had finished all of the indoor projects, because the great outdoors is screaming my name!!! And I live in the sticks, man! So much to see, hear, smell, do in the great outdoors. No signs of massive humanity (unless I turn on the news, which I rarely do anymore) to distract me from enjoying the simple abundance that surrounds me in the big woods.
2. So, I will take this day to forget all about the unfinished projects. I'm heading out and about!
3. I had a nice surprise on my desk this Saturday morning when I forgot I ordered Gertrude Hawk Almond Butter Crunch from a young friend for their church fundraiser.
4. My dog is goofy. Yellow lab. Beautiful. And just plain goofy. What a gem!
5. I mixed a new batch of incense at Two Crow Cottage last week. Should be dry enough to burn today. I can hardly wait to try it!
Been awhile since I partied with Nancy for Random Five Friday...even though it's Saturday...here you go! I missed the link up, but you can still visit the others here.

Justin Bieber Ticket Sales to Blame for Canceled Concertby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Well, this is embarrassing for Justin Bieber.
Once Bieber canceled a concert scheduled for tomorrow night in Portugal, rumors began to circulate: Were his health problems returning? Was he still reeling from that reporter confrontation?
Was he flying home to chew Lil Twist out for wrecking yet another car?
Nope, nope and nope.
TMZ sources confirm Bieber had to pull the plug on the event for the sort of reason that plagues (much) lesser artist: low ticket sales.
An insider says sales were "soft" (around 60% venue capacity) and the best "business decision" was to refund those who did purchase a ticket and move on to the next tour stop.
This isn't exactly a death blow for Bieber, he's still rather popular around the world.
But it is very unusual for a star at his level.
LC can you please send me a Bieber gram!! Long form!>Twitter!
Jay-Z net worth is 475 million at (43)/Beyonce is 300 million at (31) for a total of 775 million.
Justin Bieber worth is 150 million at (19) mid 2013, and should be at over 200 million at the end of 2013. Selena! You needs to put your ass in gear girl!!
justin bieber
i really want to see justin bieber to come to my b-day april 3
FYI the concert was sold out. Logistically to break down a staging set and to transport it 390 miles, and stage it for the next day is border line. I can only speculate that the Bieb's party did not want the same repercussion as the London Feb 4th concert. Also for public safety there are certifications by the local authorizes that must be approved as part of the show. If you remember; one of his venues caught on fire, because of the fireworks.
did he ever lie against his mother, folks?
