I really wanted my closet to make me smile when I open the doors, so I decided to add some decorative paper to the shelf area. Here is a shot of the closet before I added the paper.
I wasn't sure how to hang the paper, but knew that it would need to be something that could easily be removed one day. I decided on poster tape and was happy with the results.
Viola! I would love to replace the hangers with some of the ultra thin flocked hangers, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Some things that make this little closet work overtime are: the over the door shoe bags and the plastic bin holding belts, gloves, hats, and etc.
You can't really see it in the big picture, but this drop down rod is wonderful because it gives me a second row for hanging skirts, jeans, & pants.
I found these pretty hooks at Anthro and use them to hang things I reach for often such as robes & scarves.
The big white storage boxes hold off season bags & shoes.

Study Abroad Programs
Choosing a Program
What type of classes do you want to take? Do you need a particular type of credit? What do you wish to gain from this experience? How long do you want to go for? Is housing a factor? You can always study abroad for the sake of the experience and without regard to whether or not you need credits; many programs allow you to audit classes. If you need a particular type of credit (area of concentration, core requirements, liberal arts and science, residency) you should consult with your advisor before applying for a program to make sure you are making the right choices. Many programs offer a wide-array of liberal arts courses so it is easy to take language, literature, history and culture courses. If you need to fill a requirement like science you should keep in mind that you won't find that in too many programs. If you plan to take courses towards your area of concentration bare in mind that you will need to have them approved by your faculty mentor, add them to your area of concentration form, and have them approved by the CUNY Baccalaureate Academic Director. Many CUNY schools offer programs during the winter break (inter-session) and in the summer; if you cannot get away from your job or family for a whole semester you may be able to do it for 3-4 weeks. Some programs offer dormitory housing, some offer off-campus housing, and some place you with a family. You should be realistic about your housing situation and which kind of living arrangement will work best for you.
Types of Programs
There are four types of programs to consider:
-Study Abroad programs may be semester-long, year-long, or short-term (typically run during the summer or winter intersession). These programs consist of courses aimed towards a particular course of study, and are taught by faculty of the host institution or by visiting CUNY faculty. Students normally pay tuition to the foreign institution through the sponsoring CUNY college. Financial assistance, such as federal student loans and Pell grants, may be available.
-Exchange programs provide similar opportunities. CUNY students attend an overseas institution for a semester or academic year in exchange for foreign students who enroll at a CUNY college. CUNY students generally pay CUNY tuition to the sponsoring CUNY college. Under current law, the State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) may be applied to such exchange programs. Students may also be eligible for federal student loans and Pell grants.
-Faculty-led programs are courses taught by CUNY Faculty. The programs are short-term and typically runduring the summer or winter intersession. Financial assistance, such as federal student loans and Pell grants, may be available.
-Direct enrollment is not for everyone but for some it's a good fit. Students enroll directly at a foreign university as a visiting international student. Credits must be pre-evaluated by your home college and details will need to be worked out very closely with your academic advisor.
Some students undertake international internships rather than formal study abroad programs. As you prepare for a career in our increasingly global economy, gaining international work experience through an internship is a great way to build your resume and your skill set. Be sure to find out how to earn credit by speaking to your academic advisor and faculty mentor before you get too far into the planning process. Remember that if you earn CUNY credits while you are away you need to adhere to the CUNY International Travel Guidelines which your advisor can walk you through.
Resources for Finding Internships
The Institute for International Education (IIE) is a private nonprofit which, in collaboration with governments, foundations and other sponsors, creates programs of study and training for students, educators and professionals from all sectors. IIE maintains a thorough database of study abroad programs at IIEPassport.org.
The globalEDGE International Internship Directory created and hosted by Michigan State University is a reference guide for students, faculty, staff, and administrators to help match students with international internship opportunities offered by two- and four-year colleges and universities, governmental agencies, non-profit groups, private organizations, and corporations.
Resources for Finding Programs
The Online Directory of CUNY Study Abroad and International Exchange Programs is designed to inform the CUNY community about the broad range of overseas programs the University offers. Most programs are open to all CUNY students, although students may have to meet certain requirements for acceptance into some programs (specified in the listings). The information in the Directory is intended to help students identify programs of interest in a preliminary way. Costs and deadlines provided in the Directory are subject to change. For more details, interested readers should speak with the contact person listed with each program description. A directory of CUNY study abroad offices is available here.

Suggestions for Students with Disabilities

As you consider the study abroad option, here are three resource organizations that can help you with your planning:

The game was as simple as you think it could be. You only needed to maneuver a bird through the gaps between two posts by tapping on the screen. Although the game is not available on the Google Play Store, it became an addiction to the people who loved playing it which ultimately led to the developer pulling it down from the Android marketplace.
Hill Climb Racing
This physics based car driving game went on to become one of the best Android games launched on Android.

ZIFFPAGE TITLEWho Ordered the SpecialBy John Moore | Posted 2005-05-23 Print
Call 2005 the year of the add-on for customer relationship management.?">
Who Ordered the Special?
IHOP now plans to provide its restaurant operators with a similar viewa sharp departure from current practice. Today, IHOP runs a slew of manual reports and provides very little analysis to its franchisees, Piccininno says.
IHOP will test its portal, now under construction, with a group of franchisees in October, with a systemwide launch slated for early 2006. Piccininno says franchisees will be able to view guest information gathered via the call center, including analysis of customer trends such as which new entrees are selling well on the weekend.
That will let restaurant managers obtain "direct and timely feedback on how operational changes and marketing campaigns are affecting sales performance and customer satisfaction," notes Jeff Valine, IHOP's manager of information technology applications and business analysis.
The add-on trend also rings true for companies running outsourced customer relationship management applications. Musical instrument maker Yamaha Corp. of America has entered its second year using Salesforce.com's hosted offering, and is providing new features branching off the core application. For example, Yamaha salespeople can now schedule online meetings hosted by WebEx Communications directly from Salesforce.com's calendar, says David Bergstrom, corporate planning manager at the Buena Park, Calif., company.
Yamaha also plans to deploy Salesforce.com's asset management feature this year. Warranties on items such as grand pianos transfer with ownership, so the company must track assets as well as customer contacts, Bergstrom explains. And, in another extension, Yamaha plans to introduce a portal this year that will let dealers check inventory, place orders and track delivery schedules electronically, in addition to receiving paper copies in the mail.

So you have finally decided to commit to an alkaline water machine but don't know which is the best one?
The market is flooded with numerous different types of water filter and alkaline machines. This can make it difficult to decide which one to chose.
But don't worry, I've got your back.
I have researched the top 3 bestselling models and put together a succinct comparison between them all.
By the end of this article you will know which one is best for you. Right, so let's look at the top 3 best alkaline water ionizer machines.
Top 3 Best Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine – Detailed Reviews
1. Aqua-Ionizer Deluxe 9.0 Plate Alkaline Water Ionizer
The Aqua-Ionizer Deluxe 9.0 ionizer is the latest model in this popular range.
One of the things that I like most about it is that its design is very durable. We're talking state-of-the-art electroplate technology. I am specifically talking about its plates, which are made of titanium coated with platinum.
Best Features
- 7 different water settings so you can choose the level of alkaline water that you want and even add extra antioxidants.
- It doesn't just alkalise, it filters your water too, over 4000 litres to be precise.
- Platinum coated titanium plates that are both oxidation-resistant and erosion free.
- Many satisfied customers and raving fans.
- FDA approved components and a self-cleaning mechanism.
- The machine is easy to set up and install out of the box.
- It has a simple yet stylish design that would work for any existing kitchen design.
2. Bawell Platinum Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine
The Bawell platinum alkaline water ionizer is a user friendly countertop alkaline water machine. Simply attach it to your current kitchen sink and immediately start drinking alkaline water.
It comes with a filter too. This means it serves a dual purpose of removing contaminants while also retaining / adding healthy minerals.
Aside from purification, the alkaline water machine provides you with acidic water for cleaning, alkaline water for drinking and many other options.
Best Features
The unit is very small yet powerful with a ridiculously long feature list but here are just some of its features:
- The machine provides you with water pH of between 2.0 to 12.0 as well as ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) range of +600 mV to -800 mV.
- The machine has a bright LCD screen that is programmable.
- It has 35 preset modes.
- Oh and did I mention that it includes voice indicators that will guide you?
- It is easy to use, install and set up out of the box.
- Its high price tag is justified by the fact that it's built to last. With durable plates and sturdy exterior.
- There is a also a 'Forever Lifetime Warranty' if things are not quite up to scratch.
3. Jupiter Science Venus Water Ionizer JP107
Like other alkaline machines on this list, the Jupiter Science Venus JP107 has touch screen display.
Best Features
- It is effective at both removing mineral deposits from water, producing acidic and alkaline water.
- This machine can run on a single cycle of 10 seconds for every 20 liters of water.
- Comes with lots of pre-sets and cleaning cycles.
- Biostone filter for purifying water, it can use 1 or .01 micron filter.

Which is The Best Alkaline Water Machine?
The biggest benefit of alkaline water is a benefit that comes with just drinking plain water. Thus, it properly hydrates your body.
And this is by far the most important thing whether the water you drink is alkaline or not.
However, there are also significant benefits of drinking alkaline water which I have written about. (E.g. Read: Good or Bad? The Truth behind Alkaline Water Benefits).
When it comes to machines my favourite is the Platinum Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine. It is the most durable, has the best features and comes with the best customer reviews of any product I've seen.
Oh and the best part? It comes with a 'Forever Lifetime Warranty!
This alkaline water machine connects directly to your faucets as shown in the video above.
It is easy to install and set up straight out of the box with almost no DIY or plumbing skills.
You can specify which exact pH level you want your alkaline water to be – between 2.0 to 12.0
Oh and did I mention that the Bawell Platinum machine comes with a 'FOREVER LIFETIME WARRANTY'!

This month, I've read something old, something new and something blue – partly as a consequence of having visited Hay-on-Wye in Wales in September, the town said to have more second-hand bookshops per square mile than any other town in the world.
I adore rummaging around in second-hand bookstores and always come home with bags of old treasures (that I then have to lug all the way back to Australia).
A Cotswold Killing by Rebecca Trope
I always like to read books set in places where I am travelling and I love a good murder mystery, so I grabbed A Cotswold Killing by Rebecca Trope while I was over there. This is the first in a popular series of murder mysteries featuring the amateur detective Thea Osborne. Recently widowed and trying to begin a new life for herself, Thea decides to try house-sitting in the beautiful Cotswold village of Duntisbourne Abbots. She is woken in the middle of the night by a piercing scream, but does not get up to investigate and is horrified to find a body in the her pond the following day. Guilty and troubled by the murder, she begins to investigate…
A Cotswold Killing is a quiet, thoughtful and rather melancholy murder mystery, with as much space given to Thea's interior life as to the events of the murder. I would have liked a much stronger sense of place and a faster pace, but the first in a series is often the worst and so I'm willing to try another of the series, perhaps next time I'm in the Cotswolds.
The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly
A fabulous, big, fat, epic historical novel! The Tea Rose tells the story of Fiona Finnegan who flees a life of poverty and hardship in the docklands of East London, 1888 (a place where Jack the Ripper lurks and ruthless employers keep their workers half-starved) to make a new life for herself in New York. Love, desire, grief, betrayal, revenge … this novel has it all.
Although The Tea Rose weighs in at a massive 675 pages, the book never felt anything less than compelling reading. A hugely enjoyable read.
Jo of the Chalet School by Elinor M Brent-Dyer
One of the treasures I found in Hay-on-Wye – a third edition of Jo of the Chalet School by Elinor M Brent-Dyer, published in 1936, with illustrated bookplates intact. This is the second book in the famous series about a girls' school in the Austrian Tyrol, but was the first one I ever read. I had found a box of them in my grandmother's attic while staying there on Christmas holidays, and read my way through them. Years later, I asked my grandmother if I could have that box of books and she said she had thrown them in the bin. If only she had known how much they are worth now!
A first edition of 'Book 1: The School at the Chalet' is now worth a cool $3,600. Brent-Dyer wrote 59 books in the series in total, and they are the longest-surviving series of girls' school stories every published, having been continuously in print for more than 70 years. More than 100,000 paperback copies are still sold every year. This one was first published in 1926 and is full of quaint expressions and old-fashioned values, but the setting and time is marvellously created and the story is full of charm and humour, just like I remembered.
The Barons' Hostage by Geoffrey Trease
Geoffrey Trease is one of the authors I read as a child that gave me my lifelong love of historical fiction. He combined meticulous research with exciting, action-packed story lines that brought history vividly to life. He was remarkable for his ability to make his characters live on the page and, because he was careful to never use any archaic language like 'prithee' or 'I troth thee', his books are very readable and lively and have lasted the test of time extraordinarily well. I have collected his books for years but since he published 113, I still have quite a few to hunt down.
The Baron's Hostage was first published in 1952 – the copy I bought in Hay-on-Wye is a first US edition, published in 1975. Like all of his books, the narrative is shared between a young man and a young woman, in this case Michael and Arlette, who are caught up in the civil war known as the Baron's War in the late 1200s. A rattling good read.
The Storyteller & His Three Daughters by Lian Hearn
Lian Hearn is the author of the gorgeous bestselling Tales of the Otori fantasy series for adults, set in an alternative feudal Japan, as well as a number of children's books published under her true name, Gillian Rubenstein. The first book in the Otori series, Across the Nightingale Floor is one of my favourite novels, the medieval Japanese setting being utterly fresh and fascinating.
The Storyteller and His Three Daughters is a departure from her other Lian Hearn books in many ways. The setting is Japan in the 1800s, and from many references to true historical events and people, it is clear that this is not an alternative world fantasy but rather a historical novel.
The main character is a middle-aged storyteller named Sei who is struggling to keep alive traditional tales and storytelling techniques in a culture that is being increasingly dominated by Western values and customs. He finds himself out of joint with the times, and unable to write anymore. However, he cannot stop observing and speculating on the lives of the people around him and finds himself creating a tale of love, jealousy, murder, treason and betrayal that seems as if it might be all too true. Drawing upon Japanese storytelling techniques, The Storyteller and His Three Daughters is an ambitious and unusual meditation on the nature and meaning of art.
Julius and the Watchmaker by Tim Hehir
An action-packed timeslip adventure for boys, that brings together a Dickensian cast of characters with a dash of humour and playfulness. The hero, Julius, is a bullied boy who lives in genteel poverty with his grandfather who owns a bookshop. One day he meets Jack Springheel, a charming rogue, and finds himself on the run with a magical watch and a host of villains on his heels.
The magical watch has the ability to transport the owner back and forth and even, perhaps, sideways, in time. These convolutions could be, perhaps, confusing for a child reader (and I would have liked a far more active female character), but the book is funny and fast-paced enough to keep the reader's interest. A great debut for the author.
Faking it To making it by Ally Blake
I love historical romance but rarely read contemporary romance, for reasons unknown. I met Ally Blake at the Australian Society of Authors' National Congress, where we were both speakers. She writes 'fun, fresh, flirty romance' for Harlequin Mills and Boon and has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide which is most impressive.
She was kind enough to give me a copy of one of her books (they are so slim she easily carry them around in my handbag while I'd dislocate my shoulder if I tried to heave copies of my books around with me).
I read it in the bath that night and enjoyed it immensely. Faking It to Making It is a sexy and funny contemporary romance set in Melbourne and would make a great rom com – I hope Hollywood comes knocking on Ally's door!
Thornspell by Helen Lowe
New Zealand writer Helen Lowe reimagines the Sleeping Beauty story from the point of view of the prince in this beautiful, romantic fantasy for young adults. Prince Sigismund has grown up in a castle whose gardens and parklands are surrounded by a deep, tangled forest. He is kept locked away from the world, and so longs for adventures like the ones in the stories he loves so much – fantastical tales of knights-errant and heroic quests, faie enchantments and shape-shifting dragons.
One day a beautiful and mysterious lady in a fine carriage speaks to him through the castle gates, and Sigismund's world begins to change. He dreams of a raggedy girl trapped in thorns, and a castle that lies sleeping … soon he is caught up in an adventure as perilous and strange as that of any story he had ever heard…
I absolutely adored this book! I love fairy tale retellings, especially ones that are full of magic, peril, and romance, and Thornspell is one of the best I've ever read. It reminded me of Robin McKinley's early books, which are still among my favourite fairy tale retellings. Thornspell very deservedly won the Sir Julius Vogel Award for Best YA Novel – it's a must red for anyone who loves fairy-tale-inspired YA fantasy.
Kate Forsyth is the bestselling and award-winning author of more than twenty books, ranging from picture books to poetry to novels for both children and adults. She was recently voted one of Australia's Favourite 25 Novelists, coming in at No 22, just after Peter Carey.

Sure, many people think she's not a good writer, many people don't like her books, a lot of them think they portray abusive relationships in a glamorous light. So write a book review on Amazon. Blog about it. There is no need to attack the PERSON behind the words.
Here are some of the horrible tweets...
- does the E.L. Stand for ELiterate?
- after the success of "Grey," have you considered re-telling the story from the perspective of someone who can write.
- what's it like telling millions of women it's okay to be in an abusive relationship as long as he's rich.
- Is there a safe word we can use to get you to stop writing such drivel?
- Do you ever feel guilty that you made so much money from romanticizing sexual abuse and selling it as "erotica romance"?
- Will you be rewriting the book from Stephenie Meyer's point of view next time?
- how do you feel knowing you've made your riches from convincing young impressionable girls that abuse is 'love'?
- Which do you hate more, women or the English language?
- Is it only ok for Christian to stalk, coerce, threaten & manipulate Ana because he's hot, or is it also ok because he's rich?
- Do all these negative tweets sent to you seem abusive to you? I think it's romantic enough to be turned into a novel!
Let's take a couple things into consideration...
50 Shades of Grey is FICTION! And it's erotica. EL took people's real life sexual fantasies and
fictionalized them. Maybe they aren't my sexual fantasies or yours, but I bet they are someone's. Why else would so many copies have sold? Out of the millions and millions of books out in the bookosphere (yeah, it's a word) I'm sure there are others that glorify relationships like this, and rape, and murder, and all sorts of ugly things.
Remember the movie Natural Born Killers? I mean, I thought it was brilliant, as did others. However there were some...not so much. They felt like it glorified violence. Here's what some reviewers say...
- ...just for sickening starters, there wasn't one, single, solitary character in this entire film who was even remotely likable.
- Phew! - What a total waste of H-Wood Talent !
- I regret having to give this film one star- zero stars isn't an option. Neither is negative 3 stars. That would've been acceptable.
- worst movie ever...
- ...I could feel my brain welling up with hatred for every individual involved in the making of this movie.
I'm not defending the series, I didn't read it, I have no desire to read it, and like I said, the part I did read I thought was crap. Writers are used to that kind of criticism. We have thick skin (or we learn to grow it.) I am defending the writer. She's a person and is not defined by the books she wrote. She likes wine, dogs, chocolate, bacon and Magic Mike. And she has feelings like the rest of us.
So step off Twitter Trolls. Go back to fawning over Harry Styles, making up new memes, posting Shia Laboeuf videos, and tweeting about hockey (this is truly what some of them do, I checked.) Just leave EL James alone.

The world's leading brands use PINC's yard management system to gain visibility, manage gate, dock, assets, yard and network operations more efficiently, and effectively collaborate with trading partners.
PINC delivers scalable cloud-based yard solutions that leverage an extensive Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network that includes RFID, GPS, optical, and cellular technologies to capture and share real-time information via web API.
PINC warehouse yard management automates existing processes including data collection, workflows, schedule prioritization, alerts, performance management, and integration with existing systems.
Powerful, complete, and secure. Have a centralized tool for the entire organization, access enterprise reports, and set, measure, compare, and optimize performance across a network of yards and facilities.
Companies of all industries and verticals that are involved in moving inventory through the supply chain, now realize that transportation delays often take place not only on the road, but while the assets are still in yards at distribution centers (DCs) and manufacturing plants. As all goods often go through multiple yards throughout the shipment lifecycle, any inefficiencies or errors in the yard are amplified as the effects propagate through the entire supply chain.
Thanks to advancements in technology including cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), drones, and mobile, the digital yard management experience is now real-time, data-driven, automated, integrated, and connected. It also provides immediate value to both warehouse and transportation operations and across the enterprise. We've seen that this is an important win in a distribution environment where efficiency, agility, and flexibility are a must.
Easily locate, timestamp, and keep an electronic record of all stages of the asset manufacturing lifecycle including assembly, quality control, repairs, recalls, and parts.
Moving the process of inventory information capture into the air using autonomous drones provides on-demand checks and avoids the time, expense, and risk of using a people lift to access difficult to reach locations within the warehouse.

The Grio reports that artist John Sims will spend Memorial Day burning the Confederate flag in states aross the South.
John Sims, an artist from Sarasota, Florida, is honoring the constitutional right of self-expression by staging burnings and burials of the Rebel flag, that troublesome symbol of the Old South that many, particularly African-Americans, associate with slavery, white supremacy and state-sponsored terrorism and lynchings.
"We are in America, and people have the right to fly whatever flag [they want]," Sims said. "And I have the right to bury whatever flag, and to burn whatever flag."

Fear that Tamir Rice will be forgotten
In The Root Breanna Edwards keeps us up to date with progress in the Tamir Rice case, where a 12-year-old boy playing with a toy gun was shot by police.
A federal judge will be holding a hearing at the beginning of June to decide whether a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Tamir's family should be put on hold while the criminal investigation is pending.
According to Cleveland.com, lawyers for the city and the officers involved claim that their clients want to protect their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and wish to wait until the criminal case is closed so that they can give testimony at a civil trial without fear of reprisal.
But Tamir's family does not want to put the civil case on hold, fearing that memories may fade and people may move, thus harming the potential for a successful case.

The Remedy? More Black Doctors
The New York Times says more Black doctors could help improve healthcare for Black Americans.
"As a general rule, black patients are more likely to feel comfortable with black doctors. Studies have shown that they are more likely to seek them out for treatment, and to report higher satisfaction with their care. In addition, more black doctors practice in high-poverty communities of color, where physicians are relatively scarce."

Malcolm X at 90
If Malcolm X had lived he would be 90 now. The New Orleans website nola.com takes a look at his relationship with Coretta King and Dr. Martin Luther King.
"I think that Martin and Malcolm agreed in terms of the ultimate goal of the freedom struggle," Coretta Scott King said. "I don't think there was any difference there.... Martin had the greatest respect for Malcolm and he agreed with him in terms of the feeling of racial pride and the fact that Black people should believe in themselves and see themselves as, as lovable and beautiful... I think if he had lived...if the two had lived, I am sure that at some point they would have come closer together and would have been a very strong force in the total struggle for liberation and self determination of black people in our society."

A Black father against the odds
Not all Black fathers are missing. But what happens when they try to parent children against the odds. Paul Gayle had no job, no money and a 7-month-old baby. He needed help. The Obama administration gave him 16 lessons in fatherhood.
When he found out he was going to be a father, he felt both excited and scared. He was unemployed, broke, single and still pursuing his high school diploma — an accidental teenage father, the exact thing his mother had warned him not to become. He hid the pregnancy from his mother for several months, hid it from nearly everybody, until his daughter arrived in August at 6 pounds and 13 ounces, with tousled hair, soft skin and normal results on her first hospital check-up. "Health: Good." "Ethnicity: Black." "Risk factors: None."
Have a great week from all of us at The Skanner.

Settling (Solid #2)
by Shelley Workinger
What is it about:
At the beginning of the summer, Clio Kaid was one of a hundred teens brought to a secret Army installation. But it was no ordinary camp and they weren't ordinary kids…
Picking up where "Solid" left off, Clio and her friends realize that they aren't ready to go home; they're determined to stay on campus and continue their journey of self- discovery. But someone doesn't feel the same way and will do anything to drive them away – even kill.
Friendships will be tested, abilities will evolve, and more secrets will come out as the teens race to stop the killer before he sets his sights on one of them…
What did I think of it:
Although still a nice read I didn't like this book as much as I did the first book in this series.
Even though there's a murder and everything it felt as if nothing happened in this book. It's very static, apart from lots of teenage drama about romance and friendship.
I also didn't feel as connected to Clio and her friends as I did in the first book. Clio for example was acting bratty and was so full of self pity I wanted to scream at her.
All in all it felt like this book was trying too hard to set up events for the next book instead of being able to stand on its own. A shame, because I really like the set up and the writing.
Why should you read it:
It's a nice Paranormal YA read.

The three black dot configurations on the rings help your iRing-enabled device's front facing camera distinguish between each hand for accurate motion tracking on an XYZ-Axis, or 3D plane, to customize and create music from the two free music apps: iRing Music Maker and iRing FX/Controller.
The two free music applications are useful for converting your music controlling hand gestures into musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) data that can be passed onto other Core MIDI compatible apps. The iRing Music Maker is a simple tune-making tool that gives you hand and touch free control to trigger beats, synthesize ("synth") parts and effects, and other rhythmic elements to create non-stop music in full compositions. The iRing FX/Controller on the other hand is a more serious music application that is a multi-effects processor providing 15 high quality creative effects which can be inserted into a signal path via Audiobus or Inter-App Audio applications.

So last Friday I rushed home from work eager to see if Mother Nature had left a little something for me, and sure enough, my new garden was sat waiting on the doorstep!
Not sure how long the box had been sitting there, but it was now 7.30pm on a warm spring day so it was vital I got the plants out for a good drink before the light faded. The box itself wasn't terribly heavy, but large and awkward, so I dragged it through the house and unpacked quickly. Inside were a series of instructions, gloves, tools, a thick paper roll, and the plants themselves, all in numbered pots, and slotted in carefully to avoid damage on the journey – and in remarkably good nick given the journey they'd been on!
The next morning I sat down and reviewed the instructions, which came on both in a DVD and in print. Planting part did not sound too onerous, but the instructions stressed that good soil preparation was the key to giving the plants the best start in life. Hmmm. My flowerbed soil had not been looked after for years, so my plan for tipping a few bags of topsoil over it and hoping for the best suddenly did not seem enough. I googled the best methods for soil improvement and came across something called double digging, which basically involved removing the flowerbed topsoil, forking over the subsoil a bit, adding a layer of compost, then turning the topsoil back onto it. This can only be done in small trenched sections at a time, so takes up a shedload of time and looked backbreaking, but if we wanted a great garden then we needed to put in the groundwork. Literally!

When I was in third grade, I posed a question to my father. "If time is the fourth dimension, then what's the fifth dimension?" This would have been in 1962, so I wasn't asking about the group that would record "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" later in the decade.
It may seem a precocious question for a third-grader, but I had my moments. My father, to his credit, wasn't irritated by the question and came up with a plausible, if unhelpful, answer, "We really don't know for sure if time is the fourth dimension." It wasn't a good answer, but it took me years to understand that. And in the meantime, it shut me up.
I mention this because, fifty years later, I realize that time truly is the fourth dimension in land use. Although we grapple ineptly with that truth much as my father did.
Zoning codes, and their urbanist cousin SmartCodes, are maps of how we want our community to eventually look. But the word "eventually" is key. We're not able to move from today to complete compliance in one giant step. Our world, especially when it's a world of free enterprise and personal liberties, is a world of incremental change.
And so we end up with uses in place, many of which are financially viable, but which don't comply with the ultimate goal. We call these uses "non-conforming". And we struggle with how to handle non-conforming uses.
This problem is true for all land uses. But it's particularly troublesome when the coming land use represents a major paradigm adjustment. Such as transit-oriented development (TOD).
In general, we acknowledge the right of non-conforming uses to continue as they are until financial realities allow the use envisioned in the zoning code or SmartCode. But we don't allow non-conforming uses to expand, presumably for fear that the expanded use would perform better financially and that the day of eventual transition would be deferred.
It seems a reasonable policy, at least from an idealistic, non-site specific viewpoint. Unfortunately, the real world is practical and site-specific. A couple of examples of this uncomfortable truth arose during the final meeting of the Petaluma Station Area Plan Citizens Advisory Committee. The two examples served to illuminate the role of time in land planning.
The first was a gas station on Petaluma Boulevard South. The station is within the area of the Central Petaluma Specific Plan, for which the SmartCode is the governing document. The station is within a transect (the SmartCode equivalent of zones) for which gas stations aren't permitted. It's a reasonable prohibition. The site, along an arterial along which transit service will likely increase, is best suited for dense, multi-story use in an urban future. But that future isn't yet here.
In the interim, the station owner would like to improve his facility. He has a poorly used and outdated do-it-yourself carwash, which he'd like to replace with a small convenience store.
The convenience store would be consistent with the SmartCode. But the gas station isn't. And therefore the convenience store would be an expansion of a non-conforming use, which is prohibited.
The proposed convenience store posed a planning conundrum. But before the committee could discuss it, another example shined an even brighter light on the dilemma.
To the northwest of the Petaluma Station Area, on the opposite side of E. Washington Boulevard and mostly behind a row of streetfront retail, is a cluster of aging industrial buildings. The area is accessed by public rights-of-way, although most of the streets, if they were ever paved, have long returned to a series of deep potholes.
The area, which many in Petaluma have probably never visited, may seem derelict. But financially viable uses remain active.
The SmartCode transect calls for mixed-use residential, similar to the station area. And that's the problem. The station area itself will provide a supply of mixed-use residential that may be sufficient for twenty years. So the area on the other side of E. Washington Boulevard will likely remain industrial for two decades. But it's unlikely that any industrial area can remain viable for that long without modifications. Modifications that are prohibited because the uses are non-conforming.
The owner of several of the buildings made exactly that point to the advisory committee. He claimed that he must make modifications to one of his buildings, but the SmartCode prohibits the changes. He asked for relief.
I'm deeply intrigued by the industrial area. In the first advisory committee, almost two years ago, I invoked Jane Jacobs' dicta that communities need low-cost space for start-up businesses, which can't afford space in new buildings, to take root and to create new economic vitality. I suggested that the industrial area could fill that need.
I'm unsure what kinds of uses will make sense for the area over the next twenty years. I find myself using the phrase "artisanal industrial", which might include wine-making, software backoffices, beer-brewing, or custom iron work. Given the location only a few blocks from a new train station, it seems a good place to attract members of the "creative class", who will deliver the new ideas that a community needs.
Among the committee members, I was perhaps most strongly in favor of giving some leeway to non-conforming uses. Others were legitimately concerned that additional flexibility might create loopholes through which undesirable results could pass. In the end, we only gave direction to City staff to consider the conundrum. It was the final committee meeting, so any further discussion will happen at the Planning Commission or City Council. I'll be watching with interest.
Regardless of the results of this particular discussion, time will remain a key element in land use, especially during times of transition. And there are few areas of land use for which the transitions are more significant than the areas around TODs.
Even Dad would agree that time is the fourth dimension for TOD land use.
As always, your questions or comments will be appreciated. Please comment below or email me. And thanks for reading. – Dave Alden (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. My day was so nice! I was served breakfast in bed (McDonald's breakfast sandwich, my favorite!) and in the afternoon we all went to my sister's house for dinner. We all brought a side dish and dessert and got Kentucky Fried Chicken for the main entree, sweet! I haven't had KFC in ages, it was such a nice change. This is the card I made for my mother and sister for Mother's Day. I wanted to try something a little different so I hope you like it!
I like the Victorian twist on this card. The floral paper is non-SU! but everything else is SU! I stamped the birdcage from Nature Walk on Very Vanilla cardstock first, but thought it looked a little richer on the floral paper. I would have liked a bit less pattern on the birdcage, but I didn't have any other paper that coordinated.
Thanks for stopping by, come back again soon for another project!
Happy Stamping!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Nature Walk, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Rough Type
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Non SU! DSP
Tools: Big Shot, Top Note Die, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Two Step Bird Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Sewing Machine
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Basic Pearls, Crochet Trim, Rhinestone Brad

Thanksgiving Turkey Brine
-adapted from Melinda Lee-
**Note: This is enough brine for a 12-18 lb. turkey. I would increase the measurements for anything larger because you will have to use a larger brining bag.
2 1/4 c. kosher salt
2 c. brown sugar
15 whole cloves
4 1/2 teaspoons peppercorns
2 gallons apple juice or cider
peel of 2 large oranges (just cut off the skin instead of peeling it, to avoid getting too much of the bitter, white pith)
3 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. sage
**Note: If you're not planning to use a fresh turkey, be sure to start the turkey thawing process SEVERAL days before you start brining. This takes a few days...I usually put mine in the fridge 5 days before Thanksgiving (so on Saturday morning). This gives it 4 full days to thaw, and one day to brine. If you need to speed up the thawing process, fill the sink with cold water and let the turkey soak while still wrapped in packaging.
Day 1:
(Tuesday night)
Combine ingredients in LARGE stock pot (my largest pot is 8 quarts, and it doesn't quite fit all of the apple juice. I just pour any leftover juice on top of my turkey once it's in the brining bag.). Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20 minutes, partly covered. Cool completely (I usually let it sit overnight in the fridge, or covered on my stovetop if fridge space is limited).
Day 2:
(Early Wednesday morning)
Rinse turkey inside and out. Place turkey in a large brining bag. I have tried several different versions and my favorite type is Ziplock's LARGE size heavy duty blue bags. I've found that the LARGE bags can fit up to a 17 lb. turkey (maybe slightly larger). They sell XL bags too, or you can buy a specific "brining bag" at Williams-Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I've just found that these are usually too large for my small-ish turkeys, but they are a great option for a large one.
Place bagged turkey in sink and pour brine over to cover. This is easiest if you have someone else helping you hold the bag open. I've wasted a LOT of brine down the drain by trying to do this myself! If you need slightly more brine to cover the turkey, just top it off with a little water or the extra apple juice. Seal bag (I like to double bag it) and place it in the refrigerator for 18-24 hours. Turn turkey 2-3 times throughout the process to ensure the most even distribution of flavor.
Day 3:
(Early Thanksgiving morning)
Remove the turkey from the bag and discard brine. Rinse turkey COMPLETELY (inside and out) to avoid overly salty meat and gravy...This is a very important step! The brine has already worked it's magic by now, so don't worry about washing away the flavor. Pat dry with paper towels and let turkey sit in the fridge UNCOVERED for a few hours ( or overnight if you prefer). Letting the turkey sit will ensure even distribution of the brine, making it extra tender. It will also help you have nice, crispy skin. Be sure to remove the turkey from the fridge TWO hours before roasting. This will promote even cooking since it will be at room temperature and not ice cold in the center.
Just before roasting, rub entire turkey (underneath skin and on top of skin) with 1/2 c. butter. I like to mix in some fresh herbs-- sage, thyme, and rosemary.) Cook turkey in roasting pan (or bag-- use your preferred method) according to turkey's size. Keep in mind that brining DOES tend to shorten the turkey's cooking time!! Based on my oven, I usually start roasting 2 1/2- 3 1/2 hours before I plan to serve dinner (depending on the turkey's size). Here is my personal cooking method:
For a 12-14-pound turkey: Roast breast-side-DOWN at 350 degrees, for about 1 1/4 hours, then turn breast-side-up for remaining 30 to 45 minutes, basting frequently with melted butter. Roasting times are approximate (and are estimated for unstuffed turkeys-- stuffed will take a little longer). If the top skin seems to be getting too dark, cover it with a doubled piece of aluminum foil. Remove the foil 10 minutes before removing the finished turkey from the oven.
For larger turkeys: Simply estimate 10 minutes per pound, but begin checking the turkey with a thermometer after about 3/4 of that time. Follow same method as described above.
Unstuffed turkey is done when a meat thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the thigh meat (without touching the bone) reads 160-165 degrees. Test the thigh meat in several places, to be sure. Stuffed turkey is done when the thermometer reads 160 degrees in the center of the stuffing.
After removing from the oven, cover with foil and allow the turkey to stand for at least 20 minutes before carving (or longer if necessary). This will re-distribute the juices ensuring an extra moist turkey.
Good luck!!!

I am Viktor Klang, a programmer, researcher, problem solver, life-long student, leader, mentor/advisor, public speaker, Java Champion, and Porsche enthusiast.
In my professional career I've focused on enabling developers to choose to have both developer productivity and software scalability. That there is a tradeoff between the two has always rung false to me.
I blog about technology.
Since 2010 I've been working for Lightbend Inc. As the first employee of what was then called «Scalable Solutions» my responsibilities have changed over time: from first working on the Akka team; to leading it; to becoming the first Dir. Eng. in the company; then Chief Architect; and since 2015, I serve as Deputy CTO.
Between 2003 and 2010 I worked for Yves Rocher Suéde AB building their «Next Generation» Enterprise Management System, starting as a Junior Software Developer and leaving as Systems Architect.
Professional highlights
I am one of the earliest, and most prolific, contributors to the Akka Project, which was started by Jonas Bonér. I was Akka's Tech Lead between 2011 and 2012—preceded by Jonas Bonér and superseded by Roland Kuhn.
In 2013 I helped found the Reactive Streams Initiative which I have since then stewarded, together with a group of world-class contributors.
There is now a JVM version and a .NET version, and it is included in Java 9.
I co-authored Scala Improvement Proposal 14—scala.concurrent—in 2012, and have been maintaining it since then.
Also, I am a co-author of Scala Improvement Proposal 20 (improved lazy val initialization).
I've been ranked, by Computer Sweden, amongst the Best Software Developers in Sweden, as the 11th (2016); 18th (2015); and 15th (2012).
In 2018 I was elected Java Champion.
