I had an unusual coincidence happen last week. Speaking to prospective new members of The Alternative Board (TAB), I wound up with three CPAs in the same meeting. They were from three different smaller firms, and all three identified their current concern as a struggle to develop new business.
The idea of participating in TAB is to set aside time each month to work on, not in the business. When I asked if they might find benefit in doing so starting today, they looked at each other and then at me.
"You don't understand," one said. "It's February. We can't do anything but tax returns until April 15th." The others nodded.
I've coached and consulted with many accounting firms over the last 15 years. All but a few follow the same pattern. From the first of the year until April they are buried in tax work. April is big for post-deadline decompression and vacations. In May they start looking at the extensions that still need to be done, and catch up on their billing.
In most firms, June begins the partner meetings and planning process. July is when they finalize goals and objectives for the coming year. They work on those initiatives from August (working around the rest of their vacations) to November, with a break for the rush of the October final extension deadline. Then there are the holidays, and in January they begin preparing for tax season again.
But they're surprised that the business isn't growing to meet their expectations. After all, they work very hard, and think about business development for almost 1/3 of the year!
Let's say you made one of those ubiquitous New Year's resolutions to get into better shape. You exercise diligently from January through April, and then you don't darken the door of the gym or lace up your running shoes for the rest of the year. What are the odds that you'll be making the same resolution next January?
It's easy to pick on CPAs because every business person is familiar with the annual tax cycle, but how many other businesses do the same thing? Retailers for the holiday shopping season, contractors in the spring, health and benefit agents in the fourth quarter.
Do we put planning and development aside in the busy season because we really don't have any time, or is it because our selective short term memory makes it an easy thing to forget when we are making money?
I work with many firms, including CPAs, whose business grows year in and year out. Their competitors complain that they are lucky, or overly aggressive, or make some other excuse for their success.
The truth is, they build their business development plan on a twelve month cycle. They have time and resources allocated every month of the year. They may not devote the same amount of time during busy season, but they don't stop working on the business.
Take an honest look at your growth plans for 2012. For many small business owners those plans don't go much beyond a target number. "We will grow 10% in the coming year." That's not a plan, it's a wish.
If you have outlined something more substantial for your bizdev efforts, what steps have you taken to insure that execution occurs regardless of circumstances? Will that development be put on the back burner in busy season? What if you land a huge order, or a major new customer? What if the employee responsible for the development effort leaves?
If you expect to grow your business year in and year out, the effort for that needs to be consistent. Business development is a twelve month discipline. Starting and stopping produces the results that Aesop described for the hare 2,000 years ago. You lose to the turtle, no matter how much talent you have.

Swamped with finishing up the last details for my upcoming and soon to be announced tour to Cambodia this coming February, I am re-posting this piece for those who might have missed it last year. Enjoy!
I read George Orwell's Burmese Days several years ago and remember it being a great albeit somewhat sad novel. Other than that though the only thoughts and ideas that I had about Myanmar, which had officially been called Burma until 1989, were based on my limited knowledge of the very unfortunate political situation there and the few stories I had heard from a traveler friend or two who had gone there in the past. Unlike so many other parts of Southeast Asia that I have spent time in, Myanmar doesn't get too terribly many visitors, so I didn't have as much of a picture painted in my mind before my arrival there. I somehow knew it would be a great place to visit, but beforehand I couldn't have really told anybody why in more precise words.
Well that once opaque concept for me has now been much more clarified. I recently traveled there with my girlfriend, and we had an absolutely amazing experience. Myanmar is not the easiest country to travel in independently, but the rewards are by far more than worth it. In many ways I think it gives a glimpse of what it was like to experience Asia fifty or more years ago, and this combined with its rich cultural history and breathtaking views makes it one of the most interesting places in the world that I have ever visited. On top of that I found the people to be some of the kindest, most gracious individuals that I have ever encountered in all my travels. And knowing how difficult most of their lives are, especially compared to the incredibly privileged life I have, made me appreciate their kindness even more.
Like the vast majority of visitors our journey there started with a flight to Yangon which used to be the capitol until the government haphazardly made Naypyidaw the capitol in late 2005. We stayed at the Governor's Residence which is a gorgeous, Colonial-style hotel with spectacular service located in the midst of several of the embassies in that part of town. It served as a welcoming oasis for us after traipsing around the city during the day.
On that last note, in all the research that I did while we were planning our trip to Myanmar I had heard several people say that Yangon really doesn't have that much to offer and should be skipped. Although I wouldn't want to spend several precious days there, I completely disagree. The Shwedagon Pagoda alone makes Yangon worth a short stay. We heeded the advice of others and arrived there a little after 5PM to enjoy the amazing views of the entire complex in the softer light of the evening as the sun went down as well as the views of the temples lit up by lights once it got dark. And while on the grounds we even got to watch some local men play Myanmar-style 'hackey-sack' (video). No matter what religion you are or aren't I think it would be incredibly difficult to not be moved by the atmosphere there.
The next part of our adventure started with an hour and fifteen-minute flight to Bagan with its 2,200 or so remaining Buddhist temples which were built in the 11th and 12th centuries. This relatively famous set of temples was probably the main driver of my desire to visit Myanmar, and it certainly didn't disappoint. We opted for the more traditional way of getting around the temples by hiring one of the many horse cart drivers in the area (video). It's a little slower than doing so by bicycle and perhaps a little less comfortable that getting around by car or bus which are also around, but the slower, more low-keyed movement actually added to the look and feel of the place from our perspectives. Likewise the driver was fun to talk to with his limited English, and you could tell he took pride in his horse named Rambo, a name we can only surmise was inspired by the movie Rambo IV which was banned by the government due to its less than flattering storyline from their perspective.
Much like Machu Picchu, The Great Pyramids, The Roman Coliseum, Tikal, The Great Wall or any other infamous set of antiquated ruins around the world the views all around are pretty spectacular. And if you are willing and able to climb a few of the designated climbable temples then the views are even more magnificent. Even a novice photographer can easily get some shots that make you think of National Geographic material possibilities.
Although we really would have preferred to stay another day or two in Bagan, we then took a short flight to Heho which is about a forty-five minute cab ride to the Inle Lake area. I had preconceived ideas that Inle Lake would be interesting at the very least, but I didn't have the high expectations like I did for Bagan. Long story short, we were even more blown away by the Inle Lake area than we were by Bagan!
It doesn't have the gigantic stone ruins like Bagan (although it still has plenty of its own old temples to visit), but it has even more natural beauty with the lake itself and the surrounding hills which seemed more like mountains to this flatlander. Likewise, the area is still dotted with villages and towns that still more or less logistically function via the use of long boats, the smaller more traditional ones rowed by arm and by leg and the larger ones propelled by motor. Basically it's very much an 'on the lake' culture with many of the houses, stores, restaurants and hotels built on stilts placed within the water. Our hotel, The Shwe Inn Tha Floating Resort, was actually about a forty-five minute boat ride from the main pier and was located right in the middle of the lake. Like the previous places we had stayed the staff were warm and friendly to the point that you genuinely felt like any of them would easily welcome you into their own homes with open arms if they ever were to get the chance to do so.
Although either of us could have easily and comfortably lounged around the hotel's over-the-water grounds, like every visitor we hired one of the local boats (video) to carry us to various parts of the lake to explore and help take it all in. I can't possibly do the overall experience literary justice in such a limited number of words. Just cruising around the lake in the open-air boat with the scenery in the background would have made the long journey to Inle more than worth it. But of course we also stopped at several places throughout the days. Some of the highlights were visiting the 'Jumping Cat' Monastery where the cats there have been trained by the resident monks to jump through little plastic hoops for treats, cruising throughout one of the many floating vegetable gardens on the lake, and going to the local markets in nearby villages where you can see up front and close how many of the people from the nearby towns and villages live and interact, including many of the hill tribe women dressed in their traditional, colorful clothing. We likewise visited some of the local shops which make fine lotus silk pieces (video) and silver and jade jewelry as well as some ironsmiths (video). You can see these artisans in action as they practice their crafts, and they still adhere to techniques used centuries ago. You can buy various pieces if you want along the way, while of course bargaining to the best of your abilities.
And as wonderful as all of this was for us, we were extremely lucky in that we also happened to come to Inle during the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival (video). It takes place every year over several days during October/November, and at the suggestion of one of the very helpful staff at our hotel we went to the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda around 3 p.m. Upon arrival it was a true festival-like environment with a multi-piece band and dancers (on a deck over the water of course) with hundreds if not thousands of local spectators scattered on the shores and in boats tied up to the sides of the waterway. And there were little food and drink stalls sprinkled in around the area with tasty little snacks which we first tried by way of some cute, playful children who had befriended us immediately after we sat down on the ground to get a view of the festivities.
Before we had gotten there we had figured there would be some sort of procession on the water, and after we arrived we quickly saw the main boat which would be the central focus of the activities a little later. It was very ornately decorated with golden colors and flowers, and it was full of monks and other locals who were obviously excited to be right in the middle of it all. After an hour or so of us enjoying the music and dancing on the center stage the spectators started standing up in anticipation of the upcoming grand finale. Other smaller procession boats started coming down the river past the main boat, and they were all thoroughly decorated and full of people dancing to music and shooting off fireworks in all directions. As these boats approached and passed by the spectators the noise and the energy levels kept rising. And once the last smaller procession boat passed the main, big boat then the big boat pulled away from its moorings and followed the smaller boats through the town with people on both sides of the shore having a grand ole' time with it all. Shelley and I joked that many of our friends back home in Austin were attending the annual ACL Music Festival while we were enjoying our own 'Inle Lake Music Festival'. For lack of a better words, we had a blast!
And on top of that already impeccably lucky timing, a few days later on our last full day at Inle we went to the town of Indein which is located just up one of the waterways that feeds into the lake for their market day. What made our timing so fortuitous was that the main market of the lake area rotates over a five day period amongst five different towns, and Indein's in particular is supposedly by far the best one to experience as far as traditional markets go with nearby hill tribe people bringing their wares in from neighboring villages to sell and trade with. And this market really was one of the most unique markets I have ever visited, reminding me of the times I went to market days in Chichicastenango, Guatemala several years ago. Not only was it fascinating to watch and explore, it was also yet another photographer's dream come true. Of the few westerners that were there one small group was actually on a photography tour, and you could tell they were like kids in a candy store snapping away and having fun with the vendors and customers alike throughout the whole time they were there.
And after a few hours of enjoying the market we walked up a nearby hill to the Indein pagoda complex with hundreds of stupas all around it. It likewise was fascinating and provided yet more fun and delight for the burgeoning photographer within me. And after some friendly haggling with one of the local vendors for a beautiful amber bracelet that caught my eye (Myanmar is world famous for their stones and precious gems as well as many other natural resources), we had lunch at one of the local restaurants. I ate one of the best curry dishes I have ever had, and I enjoyed a delicious avocado shake along with it.
After that full morning and early afternoon, knowing that we had a big travel day for our return to Bangkok the next day, we headed back to the our hotel on the water for some nice, easy relaxation time, taking a dip in the salt-water pool and watching the local fishermen and floating garden farmers go by on their long boats. We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to spend our last full day in Myanmar.
The next morning we took a boat back to the main pier and then a taxi to the airport (video) to catch our flight to Yangon. Being that it was a big day for the ongoing Buddhist festival, there was an unexpected shortage of taxis available, but it all worked out fine after a few more negotiations. Once in Yangon I left Shelley with our bags at the international section of the airport, a short stroll down the street from the domestic part, and I headed to the Bogyoke Aung San Market for some last minute power shopping for a few more souvenirs and gifts. There are actually some fairly high quality jewelry, silks, wood carvings, tapestries and the like to choose from and bargain hard for, all in good fun, with the market vendors. Being that I like those kinds of markets so much it was a great little way to end the very last bit of my visit to the country.
So overall Myanmar was one of the most interesting and unique places I have ever been. I encourage any of you fellow travelers out there who haven't done so to consider going some time. I enjoyed it so much and saw so much of what it has to offer that I plan to start escorting tours there next year. If you would like more information on going to Myanmar or anywhere else in Southeast Asia or India or Nepal, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Some interesting facts about the country:
- Population: 50 million.
- Size: Slightly smaller than the State of Texas
- Religion: 89% Buddhist.
- The British granted independence in 1947, and it is now ruled by a military dictatorship.
- There are not any ATM's and use of credit cards is extremely limited. You must bring US cash using notes that are in as good of shape as possible. If they are too worn they may not be exchangeable or useable. Don't ever exchange money at the airport or at a bank, because you can only get the 'real' rate via the black market which is fairly easily available.
- According to Lonely Planet the UN Development Program claims that the people of Myanmar have the 13th lowest average income in the world.
- Myanmar has the largest supply of teak wood in the world and is extremely rich in other natural resources such as natural gas, oil, tin, zinc, jade, rubies, marble and copper.

Talk:LDS Java Stack training
Why does this page have the GWT training category?
This page seems to be titled in such a way that it will cover all training for the LDS Java Stack. Yet it has just been categorized with Category:LDS Java Stack GWT Training. That doesn't seem right. If this page will contain all the training, with GWT as the first section, but other sections to follow, then this should be in the Category:LDS Java Stack training. Subpages could then be in the appropriate subcategory. I would vote to return this page to the Category:LDS Java Stack training.
Also, the new Category:LDS Java Stack GWT Training and all headings and titles should follow the capitalization guidelines and not use title case (except for proper nouns, such as "LDS Java Stack"). -- Aebrown 01:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Forty-two people from Yellowknife, Behchoko and Lutsel'ke are training to become type-3 firefighters this week outside Dettah, N.W.T.
The intensity of the territory's fire season means more bodies are needed to extinguish the blazes that are under control. When the call went out for help, dozens signed up for training.
"We've got to do what we've got to do, the Northwest Territories needs help," said Steve Twin. "I'm strong enough and willing enough to give a hand and I feel good about it."
Many said they signed up to learn how to protect their communities. Roger Bishop of Behchoko said he stepped up to "try to stop the burning, so I can go out on the land."
Ernie Francis, a forest officer with the N.W.T. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, is teaching the new recruits how to safely prepare for being on the fire line.
Water bombers attack fires first; suppression crews contain them; then type-3 crews start working along the perimeter.
"They black line 100 feet in, put out every hot spot around the edge," he said. "From there they work inward with hand tools, axes, shovels, polaskis. They basically put out the fire. They're the ones that actually put the fires out."
Francis says people have to be prepared for long days of hauling equipment and almost three weeks straight in the bush.
"You're basically walking around in the bush, looking for hot spots," he said. "It's very tedious work. Very tiring as well."
New recruits who pass the training will be deployed to the fires next week. They'll also be certified to return to work next year.

This is an chevy s-10 blazer. That seems to make a big difference. The engine is a 4.3. It has an automatic 4 wheel drive tranny. The engine will start and idle with no problem but start to cut out when picking up speed and maintaining highway speed. If you floor the engine it will run like a scalded cat with no problems. It seems to be only during normal driving that the problem shows up. The fuel pump anf filter have both been replaced along with the fuel tank. The has been air at the schrader valve instead of fuel, so we bled the lines. The problems still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Teachers are quick to point out the importance of equality and of equity.
"All students deserve the chance to..."
"All students should have the opportunity to..."
Did you fill in the blanks? Educators are in the fortunate position to see all students, all 'kids,' all the younger human beings they spend time with as equals, yet as individuals. This is why so many awesome educators are as cool as they are. They "get it."
So, what about the teachers themselves? The professional educators who take care of our children? The ones who stoke creativity, demand critical thinking, remove the negativity from the word failure, celebrate diversity, and encourage questions? How do they continue to grow? Who supports their professional development?
Unfortunately, those Mrs. Awesomes and Mr. Encouragements of the world too often work at schools and districts that will not support them to grow as the professionals that they are for many reasons. Some political, some budgetary, and some others more complicated. Regardless, it is not the students' fault and doing something about it is the purpose of this post.
Would you rather your doctor go on 1970s practices, or the latest? How about your lawyer or accountant's knowledge on the latest changes in the system? Do you not demand the most up-to-date technology in your newest devices?
Then why leave teachers behind?
The purpose of this crowdfunding effort is so that teachers who couldn't otherwise attend top-notch professional development can do so. Miami Device is a non-profit, two day conference that will focus on ways to help teachers reach students and get them ready for their future, not our past. The effort to raise funds for this has been through GoFundMe and as of this post, it is at 50% of its goal.
If this post has resonated with you, if you agree teachers need more support for the ultimate goal of the improved education of our students (our children, if you're a parent), please consider demonstrating that conviction by visiting the link below and giving anything from the price of your next latte to whatever makes you feel great! 🙂
Thank you. Thank you, so much!

Social Distortion started the week with the announcement that their drummer, Adam "Atom" Willard was calling it quits, after nearly a year with the band. He left on friendly terms "due to many foreseeable scheduling conflicts," with his other band, Angels & Airwaves, said a statement released by Social Distortion.
They're ending the week with a new dude to sit behind the kit. Fu Manchu drummer Scott Reeder is filling the spot for Social D's first-ever South American tour, which is set to begin April 17.

On Monday little T cried because he said something he made for me at school that said "Happy Mother's Day" on it, and had put in his backpack to give me right away, wasn't there when we got home. I had to tell him his teacher probably was holding it until today, so I'd get it right before Mother's Day.
Today he was beside himself, because he had it in his bag! Along with a sweet card and a mix to make a fruit dip, was this:
His drawing of me:
And all about me:
The stuff in here is so perfectly observant and spot-on (like, how does he 'get' that I'm tall?), or completely wrong (I'm actually blond with blue eyes & despise hamburgers).
Stuff like this, my almost-five-year-old son's words being forever documented for me, his dad, him, his future bride and kids to see….well, this is what I'm talking about. This is the good stuff, the reason I didn't sell him on Etsy while in the horrific throes of Potty Training.
Man, I just love my kids.

The Online Shopping Scene in India
Online Shopping is the new rage in India. It is the new in-thing for a country that was once comfortable with physical shopping. Ecommerce in India, though still in incipient stage, is growing. There is a lot of activity on the online shopping scene: words and terms like online payment, net shopping Flipkart (or Myntra, Yebhi, HomeShop18 etc), COD (Cash on Delivery), payment gateway, discounts, wish list, free shipping, discount coupons, coupon codes, discount vouchers, e-gift vouchers are today as popular as the names of popular brands and physical retail stores.
I have a lot of experience with online shopping. In last three years, I have bought most of my things online provided that it was available online. I started with online book shopping from Flipkart (with 20% discount codes on all books) and graduated to almost all other things that I needed (if it was sold online). I have tried over twenty online sites and I have not been cheated of a single penny (of course I had to write to customer care more than once in many cases in case of problems). I have also helped many of my friends make the switch to online shopping.
Buy Online, Save Money
Today neither me (nor my friends) prefer to buy offline. Of course, online shopping cannot be a total substitute to your life's needs but it can supplement the usual shopping pattern in a big way. If one is not shopping online then one is at least researching it online, reading reviews, comparing prices across various online shopping sites, looking for authentic products or trying to find discount coupons and codes for the best possible prices. Today you can buy so many things online: books, clothes and apparel, electronic items, mobiles, computers, sports goods etc. Features like Cash on Delivery, policy of 'no questions asked' return etc have certainly helped the penetration of the online market.
If you are new to the world of online shopping then you will be surprised to know that you can actually save a big deal. I have rarely bought an item without a good discount. Of course now the trend is changing a bit and with consolidation of the online shopping scene, discounts and shipping rates are all seeing some change. Still the online shopping scene in India is likely to remain discount-driven for more time to come unlike in the US or West where customers are charged a premium for such home delivery of goods and services (go check shipping charges on Amazon, for example).
So how do you save your money and buy cheaper?
So how do you save money on Online Shopping in India with discount codes and coupons? You see almost every online shopping site in India has some form of discount for customers. Either it could be default discounts on products (as now happens in Flipkart) or it could be through various coupon codes, voucher codes, gift codes etc. (or similar names) which give you the discounts. You enter the valid, applicable code (subject to terms and conditions) during the online purchase process on the retailer's website (for which specific web columns are given) and you click to apply it. And you get it. It is that simple. So you just keep yourself informed about the discount codes and coupons for online shopping and you get your products at cheaper rates. You save big money.
How to know various discount coupons and codes for online shopping?
Yes, they are so many out there; you could be lost in the online maze. Such data crunching could be bewildering for most people apart from costing you enormous time and energy. One individual cannot keep track of them. What is more they keep coming— online shopping site keep releasing new coupons, gift codes, discount code and old ones expire. And then there are so many online shopping concerns in India today (some like Timtara even cheated customers and brought bad name to online shopping and there is no dearth of such sites if you are not careful).
The solution lies in following a reliable website that indexes all the online shopping discount codes and coupons for the ecommerce and related websites in India such as Yebhi, Myntra, Flipkart, HomeShop18, Tradus, MakeMyTrip, Jabong, eBay, freecharge and others. Such sites (with their editors and online staff) keep a meticulous eye on the online shopping sites, retailers and brands and provide customers with up-to-date information about online discount codes that an online shopper could use to save money. Remember that online shopping does not have to be an expensive affair; you often (if not always) have the option to save with online discounts and coupons. You can register on sites like CupoNation.in and get free email updates of discounts and augment your online savings.
See an example of savings with Online discount codes
See the image below from the said online money saving site's top 20 online deals and discounts page—
You click on the 'view code' link and you will be guided accordingly. You use the code (FREEDOM 15 in this case) to get 1000 Rupees cashback on your payments to MakeMyTrip (that is, if you are lucky; I have been lucky once and got my air ticket refund in 2011. See image below where I was informed of my refund by online payment gateway ccAvenue, late 2011).
Discount codes, vouchers, gift codes and promo codes have become so popular that there is hardly any online retailer doing business without it. Such discounts are a boon to customers and at the same time bring new customers to the fold of online shopping in India. They are here to stay.
So do save money with Online Shopping. Do check for online deals, prices, promo codes before buying and make an informed decision with online shopping. Saving money online is very much possible and people out there are doing it. And there is no dearth of discount coupon sites on web. Choose your site carefully. Expired coupons and deals could only bring you tension. A good site would constantly update its database of online coupons and deals to help you save with online purchasing. Not every site claiming to help you save money online could be the right 'dealguru' for you. All the best to you. Buy Online, Save Big. 🙂

Hi everyone, I would like to announce that I will be changing to a new theme effective today. It took me a long time to change to a new theme because of technical difficulties. My internet connection was killing me, I would get disconnected a lot. (can't upload the theme propoerly)
Btw, the wordpress theme that I'm going to use is the blue theme from easywordpress.com. I modified it a bit especially on the CSS and banner ads placement. Overall it's a very nice theme.
Update: After two hours of "forced blog downtime", the blog is now back up with a new theme. Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

FAS and email policy
IN an article published on Sunday, September 16, concerning an audit commissioned by FAS in 2010 on inappropriate images, we stated that almost 4 per cent of all reported content in FAS mailboxes was classified as "highly inappropriate".
FAS has asked us to point out that the "highly inappropriate" content level of 3.62 per cent represented just 0.71 per cent of scanned mailboxes and that, therefore, the vast majority of FAS employees were not involved in any way in the activities of the small minority who indulged in these practices.
FAS also says measures have been taken to ensure full compliance with strict email policies which are in place.

VAN NUYS, Calif.—Fan favorites Asa Akira and Sophie Dee are heading to the Windy City to appear in the Evil Angel booth at Exxxotica Chicago. The dazzling duo will be on hand to sign autographs and personalize copies of their Evil Angel DVDs, Buttman Magazines and posters.
Fans will have a chance to get up close and personal with the Asian sensation and the winsome Welsh beauty from Friday, July 8 through Sunday, July 10 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, just minutes outside of Chicago. More info may be found on the official .
Akira said, "I'm so honored to be representing Evil Angel at Exxxotica. Evil Angel has always been one of my favorite companies to shoot for, and I'm excited to meet my Chicago fans."
The perfectly built, athletic Akira, who made waves with her performance in Evil Angel's Pure, has been having a breakout year in 2011, with five wins at the AVN Awards and a starring role in Jonni Darkko's Gape Me (which yielded her selection as Evil Angel's poster girl for April 2011), culminating this summer with her junket meeting fans on behalf of Evil Angel.
Similarly, the voluptuous, blue-eyed Dee, the reigning MissFreeOnes 2011, will Dee-light her fans with her big boobs, British accent and eager-to-please attitude in what will be her third personal appearance of the year for Evil Angel. Amazingly, Ms. Dee has still found time to launch and operate her newest entrepreneurial venture, ToplessMovierRviews.com.
Evil Angel General Manger Christian Mann expressed his satisfaction with the multi-city exhibition: "Count on Evil Angel having a booth at every Exxxotica Expo this year. The response so far has been everything we hoped for. It's a great experience for us, the talent and most of all, the fans."

Members of the Belmont women's soccer team say their coach did not resign but was dismissed from her post.
Belmont athletics director Mike Strickland said in a statement on Thursday night that head coach Lisa Howe "had informed the university of her intent to conclude her employment with Belmont." The announcement came more than a week after Howe informed the team she was going to have a child with her same-sex partner.
Belmont senior Erica Carter said she talked to Howe on Tuesday, and her coach said she was told "because her morals and values and her decision did not coincide with Belmont's morals and values, she could no longer be an employee of the institution."
"She was fired. She was let go," junior captain Sari Lin said Friday. "We are all under the impression that she was asked to resign and she told them she would think about it. When she didn't [resign], they basically decided to let her go, and they were going to originally do that without any sort of severance or package. Then they actually did decide to give her some sort of settlement to basically keep her quiet."
An email and a message left on Howe's work phone were not immediately returned.
Messages left for Strickland on Friday morning were not returned. A spokesperson for the athletics department said through a text message that the statement Strickland released on Thursday night was "Strickland's statement at this time."
Strickland, assistant athletic director Betty Wiseman and assistant soccer coach Kyle Roelke held a meeting with members of the team Friday morning. Lin said seniors were not allowed to attend and called the meeting "absolutely pointless."
"[Strickland] came in extremely defensive, told us right off the bat that he couldn't answer any questions pertaining to Lisa and the situation," Lin said. "Even when I asked him about the statement that Belmont released [Thursday] night, he still said that he could not answer these questions due to the fairness and respect for Lisa. We all just started kind of laughing, like 'Are you seriously going to choose those words?' Out of the fairness and respect for our coach that you fired for wanting to start a family?"
Carter said Howe had gone to Belmont administrators for permission to let the team know of her partner's pregnancy. Carter and Lin both said Howe had never addressed her sexual orientation to the team before last week.
"She waited three weeks for feedback, and because [her partner] was starting to show and people were starting to find out on their own, she went and told us without feedback," Carter said. "She told us because she felt like all we did was hear about her life from other sources and rumors, and that wasn't fair. So she should have the chance to tell us something on her own for once."
Howe was Belmont's soccer coach for the last six seasons, and she compiled a 52-48-16 record. She was named the Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year in 2009 after leading the Bruins to a 10-6-4 mark and in a tie for first place in the conference.
In addition to the success on the field, the team recently earned its sixth straight NSCAA College Women's Team Academic Award, which is awarded to those who have a team GPA of at least 3.0.
"Everyone is really ticked off," Carter said. "There have been tons of letters, angry letters sent out to all sorts of people, especially the athletic director, [Belmont president Robert] Fisher and anyone you can think of — from parents and students. They are very angry letters."
The Tennessee Human Rights Act covers employment discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, sex, age or national origin but does not protect on the basis of sexual orientation.
"Our coach has been nothing but phenomenal throughout my experiences playing for her," Lin said. "When I was told I was in utter shock — absolute disbelief. ... The thing that is hard for us is we are being told a bunch of different things. There are a bunch of different things out in the paper. We just want answers. We want to know who made the final decision to do this, to basically let our coach go. No one has been really able to step up and accept responsibility or do anything like that.
"It is so shameful. ... I don't think they thought this one out very much."
I like the part of this story wherein the departing coach got a severance packaage. Without the severance package this could have turned into a nasty nasty situation.
Wow.... I will NEVER step foot on Belmont's campus. And being a business owner, I will NEVER employ a graduate from this university since their morals and values does not coincide with mine. I'm also very disappointed with the coach for not pursuing legal actions against Belmont University for discrimination. She should set an example for others and blaze a trail for future gay and lesbian staff. What in the HELL does her having a baby and starting a family have to do with Belmont? I don't get it.
That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard!!! What does her being a lesbian or a gay person have to do with her being the coach, that had a winning record may i add! The parents and students should come together and leave the school or give them a choice! What is America coming to? I dont hang out with gays, and dont associate with them, but I am a firm believer in America, and what ever she and her partner decide to do, is thier business. Thats what makes us America, so that we can choose who we want and how we want it! Most stupid act I have ever read!!!
Fear is a powerful force. Love has a hard time getting through. But Love is all there is. We just don't want to know that. So we attack and fear and get all out of sorts because we can't stand the thought of someone not following OUR path, not knowing that OUR path is no better than any other because without Love, they all lead to nowhere. And so the good people at Belmont have chosen fear and are no happier than they were and will be no better off for having gotten rid of the coach. But they are all saying to themselves and each other that she is IMMORAL and didn't deserve to have such a good job. The fact that her child will be LOVED and guided to be a loving person has escaped them because their fear is so great. so sad
No, you don't get it NewYorker1...do your homework! Do you know anything about Belmont University. Look up their website. She/he did. More than likely she/he signed a morality contract or code of conduct. She/he knew what it was signing up for when she/he joined Belmont. It's a private school with probably no or little federal funding. That's the beautiful thing out our country. The government doesn't control everything. Wonder why she kept it quiet for so long? Think maybe she knew. A discrimination path would be tough.Don't feel bad for the couple. There are plenty of state universities that will hire she/he, especially with a phenomenal record. Belmont will hire another coach that is in line with their principles and all will be right. Applaud to Belmont for the moral courage to stand u for their principles. Don't set foot on the campus. Don't hire any of the students. You and everyone else will be happy. Know your consumer...basic marketing principle.
@dudette: given your name, I probably know a lot more about Belmont "University" than you. Belmont College has been going through amazing growth pains the last 10 years and it's clear their student body is more diverse, geographically and philosophically, than the administration, alumni and big donors. The students reflect the future and many are not judgmental about personal lifestyles. Belmont is between a rock and a hard place. Too bad. Change is the only constant in this world.
"dudette" is right on.
Like Lipscomb, American Bible University, et. al., these institutions simply cannot have a lesbian employee (couple) bearing children.
It's like allowing gays in the Boy Scouts. Gays in the priesthood. Gays in the military.
Belmont likely has a morals clause for their employees. In the early 80's two professors were dismissed for drinking wine at lunch. Apparently this act was in conflict with then-TN Baptist Association and/or Belmont rules. I am guessing something related to a morals or behavior clause exists with employees, and especially for coaches.
Like Notre Dame dismissing and paying settlement to fired football coach Charlie Weis, Belmont is also a private university. Does anyone know exactly what Weis was paid tpo leave Notre Dame? Unless a lawsuit stems from this Belmont firing/resignation/cessation of employment, expect former coach and her former employer both to remain quiet. Settelement probably has language to that effect: everyone stays quiet, checks get cashed, go your separate ways. A lawsuit would change that silence, of course.

But what I feel has suffered the most is my blog. I have so much to tell, but so little time to write it. So now I'm going to do kind of a summary of everything I wanted to say these past 2 days. Here goes.
I may not be reading as many books, but I have read some noteworthy ones that I feel you should know about, like:
- Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony
The latest is the Artemis Fowl series, and in my humble opinion, the best since the original Artemis. I am not turning this blog into an "I love Colfer" blog, but I can't help it if he's put out some dynamic and wonderful books this year. For the first time in the series, Artemis finally meets his intelectual equal -- someone who could finally even outwit Artemis himself. And she, yes she is two years younger. I will not say another word because I don't want to spoil the book. After all, I didn't give away anything that's not on the jacket. However, if you truly want a magical experience, don't even read the jacket. Just trust me and pick up the book sight unseen and read it. It'll come out September 15.
- The Death Collector
Okay, so I haven't actually finished this one yet, but I have high hopes. Any book that starts with the sentence, "Four days after his own funeral, Albert Wilkes came home for tea," has a lot to live up to, and so far it has. I still think the first Bartimeaus book has the best first page (and a half) ever written, but this ranks up there as one of the greatest first sentences. How could you not read the next. I'm hoping the book stays just as good.
And finally, here's a book I didn't like. Don't read it.
- Ulysses Moore: The Door to Time
This book was a first for me. I'd never before read a 200+ page prologue. And that's what this book was. The time travel hinted at in the title? Yeah, well that happened in the last chapter. The LAST chapter of the book. It's one thing to leave your reader with a cliffhanger so they'll read the next book. It's another to make your entire story BE in the next book. As a reader, I was annoyed. I waded through the entire book to reach no climax and have nothing resolved. Like I said, the real adventure hasn't even begun. As an editor, I was appalled. Shouldn't someone have pointed this out to the author?
Well that's my rant for today. I am off to write my lecture for that online conference I'm presenting at. I had thought it was due today since I thought today was the 15. My computer has informed me that I'm wrong, and that it is actually the 16 and that I'm late. Wonderful. Just freaking wonderful.

Blockbuster trades don't happen often in the NFL. If a big name player is traded it's usually at the end of his career for fifty-cents-on-the-dollar. A good example of this is Anquan Boldin being traded for a 6th round pick. The real blockbusters – a top echelon player being traded while still in his 20's – happens maybe once every five to ten years.
We got our blockbuster.
Yesterday, Darrelle Revis was traded from the New York Jets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for what amounts to a 2013 1st round pick and a 2014 3rd round pick. The Buccaneers also shelled out a 6 year, $16 million per year contract to Revis that is the ultimate pay for performance deal. $13M per year is a base salary, with a $1.5M roster bonus and a $1.5M option bonus each year as well. Essentially, it's a $16M per year salary and there are no guarantees in the contract.
For Revis, this contract makes sense if he believes he can maintain his level of play for at least a few years. He's making QB money every year as long as he's still on the roster. But with no bonus and no guarantees, he can be cut at any time with zero cap penalty to the Bucs. Actually, they are even rewarded with $16M in cap space in all the unplayed years left on the contract.
Not many teams can afford to pay two players "QB type of money." Josh Freeman is going into the final year of his rookie contract which is one of the reasons that Tampa has enough cap space to sign Revis in the first place. Cap space is now dwindling and will continue to do so if the Bucs decide to re-up Freeman after this year.
So why pay Revis nearly the same amount that the best quarterbacks in the NFL are getting right now? Easy.
The Revis Effect.
Now, no one can predict how Darrelle Revis' ACL injury will hold up throughout the season. I'll simply address it as if we're going to see that same Revis in 2013 that we saw in 2011 – the 1st team All-Pro cornerback that shutdown nearly every wide receiver he covered.
When Revis is in the game, he provides a significant tactical advantage due to his ability to take away a team's best wide receiver. The best way that I can explain it is by saying Revis is like having an extra defender on the field. His ability to essentially take one of the offenses biggest weapons out of the game frees up a safety for other duties.
Let's take a look through the lens of the all-22 film.
What you see here is Revis on an island at the top of the screen. The single-high safety is shading over top of the 2 wide receivers and tight end towards the bottom of the shot. In 11-personnel (1 running back, 1 tight end) and a 3×1 formation (3 receivers to one side) a lot of defenses will elect to play Cover-2 or if they go Cover-3 or Cover-1 man, the CB on an island will usually play in off-coverage. This will allow the receiver a short to intermediate route to ensure that he doesn't beat the single coverage over the top.
As you see it, even in a personnel package that screams pass, the Jets have 8 men in the box. They're comfortable leaving Revis in press man outside and a single safety over top of the 3 receivers to one side. The Jets are set up to defend both the run and the pass because of the flexibility that Revis gives them. They're also daring Tannehill to try to throw at Revis here – something they like to do.
One of the other things that Revis allows is that by dropping a safety in the box the Jets can clutter the middle of the field making it harder to find windows to throw into. Revis essentially has the left 1/3 of the field covered. The Jets have more than enough available players to drop into coverage to blanket the remaining 2/3 of the field.
This is the game that Revis injured his ACL in. That shot was from the 2nd quarter. Revis was injured in the 3rd quarter. Let's take a look and see how the Jets played after Revis exited the game with an injury.
In this shot you actually see Tannehill in the shotgun with two running backs and three wide receivers. You can still see all the corners playing press coverage (the Jets preferred alignment) but now you see two high safeties with only 7 men in the box – really 6 if you consider that the nickel corner is over the slot. If the Dolphins were to run it they could run a sweep right, a fullback lead draw, or even a wham or trap here. There are plenty of run options but the Jets are forced to guard against the deep ball a little more because they can't put any of their corners on an island in the same way they do with Revis.
You can also see how the middle of the field, especially the deep middle, is more open for Tannehill to target with a slant or crossing route.
Revis provides so many other benefits for the Bucs beyond just this one example. The Bucs will be able to play Revis inside or outside, left or right of the formation, match him up against any receiver they wish, match him against a TE (hello, Jimmy Graham), and he'll also allow the Bucs to toy with their safety alignments with two talented safeties in Goldson and Barron.
Darrelle Revis' presence will keep a lot more points off the board that the Bucs allowed at times last year. This will also translate into less pressure on Josh Freeman. Freeman routinely had to throw 35+ times to keep putting points on the board in a hurry just to keep his team in the game. Now the Tampa offense will be able to rely a little more on its run game (what it prefers to do) and take some of the weight off of Freeman's shoulders.
Revis is such an asset in so many ways. Did I mention he's not shy against the run? (That's him at the RCB position at the bottom of the shot.)by

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Memo Gidley had surgery on his left arm and leg after a terrifying accident in the early stages of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, his team said early Sunday.
Gidley and fellow driver Matteo Malucelli remained at a nearby hospital for further evaluation and testing following their two-car crash Saturday near the three-hour mark of the prestigious endurance race.
IMSA officials said both drivers were awake and communicating, but gave no other information about their conditions.
Gidley's GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing team offered an update about nine hours after the accident.
Gidley was driving for the pole-winning team. He had to be cut out of the No. 99 Corvette, which crumpled like an accordion when he plowed into the back of Malucelli's Ferrari.
The cars were heading into the kink in the infield portion of the track facing directly into the sun. Malucelli's car had apparently lost power _ his team said he radioed he was pulling out of the way _ as the cars headed into a high-speed turn.
At the same time, Gidley tried to lap a slower car. He pulled out to the left and tried to duck under the lapped car, apparently didn't see Malucelli off the pace, and drove directly into the Ferrari at nearly full speed.
The race was red-flagged as emergency workers tended to both drivers. They were placed onto stretchers, loaded into ambulances and taken to Halifax Health Medical Center, located roughly a mile outside the race track.
"This stuff, it happens, it's racing. But you never expect it to be your car, your team," said Darren Law, Gidley's teammate.

The Town of Wilkesboro Waste Water Treatment Plant has been in operation since 1965. The facility's construction was funded by a federal grant authorized by the Public Works Acceleration Act to help the Town of Wilkesboro furnish water and sewer services to its growing industries. Since then the plant has been expanded adding a certified laboratory and upgraded to the modern and efficient treatment facility it is today. The plant has a 4.9 million gallons per day capacity and utilizes an activated sludge process along with an ultraviolet disinfection system. The sludge that is produced is dewatered by a filter belt press and then disposed of in the Wilkes County Landfill. The most important objective for the Wastewater Plant's State Certified Operators is to keep our outstanding compliance record.
We also take great pride in the park-like grounds (see photos below) where the Wastewater Plant resides. For one week each year the staff at the treatment facility teams with the Wilkesboro Fire Department to host a fund raising campground during the time of the Merlefest music festival. Proceeds from the campground help fund the Wilkesboro Fire Department's retirement program. This week in April will bring 2,500 to 3,000 campers to the grounds adjacent to the Wastewater Plant. Most of the campers are return guests and have dubbed the campground "Sewerfest". The stakes you can see in the photo to the left are a few of the RV electrical hookups and the photos below are some of the tent sites. There are two fully functional bath/shower houses with electric for use by campers along with many other amenities within the campground such as food and music.

[Re: Feature, "Do You Have a Chupacabra?" March 3-9] Benjamin Radford is an instigator, not an investigator. I also love to instigate, and Radford and I can agree there are many subjects that are open to hostile forensic evisceration. Yet many so-called paranormal situations call for careful consideration. Asking Mr. Radford to consider, say for example, cattle mutilations is like asking Dick Cheney to consider the environment. Mr. Radford portrays himself as a skeptic when in actuality he is a zealous believer in the dubious notion that white man's "science" has effectively solved life's mysteries.
Blinded With "Science"
Dear Alibi,
Addiction Is Not a Crime
Dear Alibi,
All families matter.
I remember the day I found out my father was a heroin user. My stomach turned as a friend told me that the spoon, cotton and lighter were for heroin use. My dad was a loving, funny, happy man; as a welder he provided well for our family. Having only daughters, he taught us how to fish, how to change a tire and the oil in our car. We grew up happy, with nice clothes, warm food and plenty to laugh about. He lived trying to juggle the needs of his family and the needs of his addiction.
Over the years, I have learned that this is a common reality of my beautiful state, the side that you don't get to see or hear about but everyone knows exists. I've learned that substance use is so often the survival kit for the sexually violated, the poor, profiled, abused and wrongfully criminalized. When I talk about my father as a user, I can see the look in people's faces, the judgment that they carry. I only know him as my daddy, who raised me and loved me.
New Mexico is plagued with this dis-ease—our communities in turmoil, families wanting and hoping for a cure but left with nothing more than long stints in jail, criminalization of our loved ones and hatred toward those that we call family. This is why I share my story. We are families living through the dis-ease of addiction. We survive, we thrive, we live among you. Addicts are family. Most of you love one, have tried to help one, but most of us don't carry the tools we need to treat this illness.
Growing up in New Mexico has been a beautiful experience for me—our sky, our mountains, the earth and gente which compose our brown landscape. New Mexico's history of resistance runs deep. As a people we have resisted oppressive systems, unwarranted development, the extraction of our land, water and culture. Young Women United believes our stories are resistance and need to be heard. Our elected officials need to hear them so they know that we are New Mexico, we want what's best for our gente and we don't believe in making criminals out of people that are in need of healing.

Tea Bagger Amendments 1 and 2
Dear Alibi,
As perceived by a nonobjective observer ...
Amendment 1
The right of people to think or believe anything they choose, regardless of the facts or scientific evidence (facts schmacts, science schmience), and to speak those beliefs, to lie, to slander, to threaten, to scream anything, anytime, anywhere to or about anyone shall not be abridged.
The right of the press to be fully owned subsidiaries of corporate interests, to lie, to propagandize, to promulgate disinformation to a confused electorate, and thereby to subvert democracy for the benefit of those corporate interests shall not be abridged.
Congress shall make no law limiting the right of religion to insert itself into any and all political debates and venues or to gain partial or absolute control of the government.
The right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances shall not be abridged nor shall it be recognized as legitimate except when accompanied by anger, hatred, shouting, screaming, incoherence, threats and guns.
Amendment 2
The right of the people to keep and bear arms of any kind, at any time, in any place, for any purpose shall not be abridged for any reason. Wacko militias are just more freedom-loving Americans.
More amendments to follow.
Attention Where Attention Is Due
Dear Alibi,
Climate activist Tim DeChristopher was just found guilty for his 2008 act of civil disobedience in Utah. He participated in a federal auction of oil and gas leases. He didn't have the funds to pay for his bid, and so the jury found him guilty of interfering with an onshore oil and gas leasing act and making a false representation to the federal government. Tim faces 10 years in prison.
I can't reconcile this news with the fact that many Wall Street bankers knowingly made risky decisions that nearly brought our economy to the brink of ruin, while they lined their own pockets with grand bonuses, yet they won't be spending a day behind bars. What is wrong with this picture?
And why are people hypnotized with Charlie Sheen's antics, and not talking about Tim DeChristopher and his bravery? DeChristopher is a role model for the type of peaceful civil disobedience that we need in this country. Sheen is a sad example of a degenerate, disgraceful, self-absorbed actor—not deserving of any attention whatsoever.
Wake up Americans!
Cultist Crap
Dear Alibi,
I have been reading about Scientology in The New Yorker. The Scientology phenomenon baffles me, just like the Republican Party baffles me. How are these two cults getting away with purveying total crap? American citizens have shelled out millions upon millions of dollars to the cults. Too many American citizens believe the crap, they defend the crap, they don't question the crap.
I yell at the apologists and flakes on TV and radio, "Whoa, Nelly! We can't allow the Earth to be ruled by the lies spewed from the mouths of cult spokespeople!"
The corporate world and the upper class have a long history of hating labor and the unions. CEOs hate labor costs. CEOs want to be in control of the cost of labor but, thanks to the unions, the big wigs are not in total control. All greed and sociopathic tendencies aside, capitalism (also a cult) believes that capital must always move to the point that provides the most efficient use of materials and labor.
Did you feel the chilly breeze? The capitalist belief system allows the capitalist to dehumanize labor by listing labor under capital outlay.
Republicans and Scientologists and capitalists cause me to wonder if all cult behavior can be boiled down to the attempt to fill the inner vacuum. The nature of that vacuum varies from individual to individual, and as life on Earth shakes out, people with similar inner vacuums move toward the cults that best help them hide from their peculiar brand of self-loathing by embedding a sense of well-being and purpose in each believer.
Hovering above the sea of true believers are the cult leaders, the charismatics, the moguls, the elitists, the chosen few. They all seem to live high on the hog. They all seem to need bodyguards. They all seem to use their power to satisfy pathological personal needs.
I am thankful for the human beings who see through this cultist crap and share their revolutionary thoughts in print, over the air and on the Internet.
Tunisia Started it All
Dear Alibi,
Attending the rally outside the Roundhouse in Santa Fe on Saturday, Feb. 26, in support of public employee unions and the Democratic state senators of Wisconsin, made me remember that the current worldwide wave to reclaim self-determination began with Mohammed Bouazizi in Tunisia.
Bouazizi, a young, once-obscure street vendor despairing of justice, set himself on fire as his protest against corruption, humiliation and the untouchable power of the entrenched few. That desperate, defiant act by Mr. Bouazizi, like the fabled beating of the butterfly's wings that swelled into a tidal wave, seems to have reverberated around much of our planet.
To me, the subsequent nonviolent uprising in Egypt—again led by students and lawyers—was the most stirring event of its kind since Gandhi's march to the sea to collect salt. But now the Egyptian military and the Muslim Brotherhood appear poised to snatch Egypt's future away from the aspiring progressive youth and professionals who had the guts to demand freedom and democracy.
Where now are the young progressives in the U.S.A.? There were about 1,000 people demonstrating at the Roundhouse—men and women in about equal numbers—but not many young people.
It isn't yet evident whether American youth of today or in the near future will rally to reclaim their individual rights and reverse big business' successful campaign to claim human rights for business corporations. Or even whether young people will fight to rebalance the relationship between the governed and those who are supposed to govern in the public interest.
We old progressives and moderates may not be able to present our views more persuasively in the future than we have these past few decades. The case for individual rights, justice and opportunity for all must be made anew in each generation, for it is the young who will have to live with the consequences.
Groovy Music
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Music, "To the Core," March 3-9] When I first found out about Nuggets I went straight to the local record store (Eucalyptus Records in Fairfield, Calif.) and asked the very attractive blonde behind the counter for a copy. I started to explain about the album when she cut me off with a snarl, "I know what Nuggets is." She then reached under the counter and pulled out a copy of The Flamin' Groovies' self-released classic "Sneakers"—

'Monument Valley' review: Short but visually thrilling game
Updated 8:17 am, Thursday, April 24, 2014
M.C. Escher's playful use of optical illusion fascinated me as a child - I remember first seeing his room of impossible staircases and feeling that the world was filled with wonderful mysteries I could never understand.
"Monument Valley," an iOS title developed by Ustwo Games, brings back that feeling of wonder and merges it with the modern sensibility of a graphic designer, producing what is probably the most beautiful mobile game yet.
"Monument Valley" is a puzzle-solving game in which the player guides Ida the Silent Princess through an architectural world set in isometric perspective and full of impossible geometry - rotating your perspective merges two pathways into one, turning a crank changes gravity, pressing a button unfolds a hidden staircase.

Players of "Echochrome" will find these mechanics familiar, but "Monument Valley" takes it a step further: Many of the solutions to the game are easy to spot, which in a lesser game might be a major issue, but each level reveals a new game mechanic or obstacle that keeps the player intrigued and wanting more.
So though it's not challenging, it is engaging, and has a slow, pensive pace that gives you space to sit back and enjoy the visuals. And the visuals are glorious. I often wished I weren't playing such a beautiful game on a relatively small handheld device.
The visuals tend to outweigh the story, which is vague and mysterious, with just a thread of narrative. Some players might find this problematic, but there was just enough story to justify the game's logic and allow players' imaginations to fill in the blanks, which was refreshing. Also, with a game that can be completed in one to three hours, a complicated story would likely weigh down the game play.
Many players might take issue with the fact that the game is so short, but seeing as it's meant to be played on a mobile device, the length didn't detract from my experience - and Ustwo has promised that new levels will be added soon.
People will always want more of a good thing.
Monument Valley: Developer: Ustwo Games. Platform: iOS. (An Android version is said to be in the works.) Cost: $3.99.

When I was a kid, I was told about Santa. I believed in him, for a little while anyway. My grandpa would take us to see him on Christmas Eve at the local Eagles club, and he'd give us a candy cane, an orange and some walnuts along with a small present to hold us over one more day. I guess I always knew he wasn't real. I mean, Santa didn't always look the same, and he sometimes smelled of brandy and rigatoni.
I learned, though, that I must be careful around other people's children and that the same goes for other parents. A friend of mine doesn't tell her kids about Santa. She happily takes all the credit for the goodies her kids receive and makes sure they are grateful. "I work too hard to let some fat b*!#@$^ take credit," she said. "I want my kids to know that their mom made their Christmas as nice as it is." Amen, sistah.
Another mom friend tells her 2-year-old that Santa is just pretend and for fun. Yes, the truth. I applaud that idea too.
Now that I have a kid who is old enough to really get into Christmas, and one baking nicely at the moment, I've wondered what we would do about Santa, or not. Do we play into the whole Santa game? I say, yes. But don't overdo it. If your kid asks if Santa is real, maybe then that's the time you come clean. My husband loves to dress up. He was so excited to buy a Santa suit and likes entertaining the kids. Is it going to shatter their world and make them socially awkward when they find out that the big guy in the red suit isn't the magical man who brings them whatever they want or deserve for being good all year, and that he's just plain 'ol dad or some drunk dude who needs a job at the mall? I don't think so. It's nice for kids to have imagination, hope and innocent excitement. Is there real harm in Santa? Kids are smarter than some people want to believe, and they do figure it out eventually. I mean, it seems kind of like a "no duh" at some point. And if your kid is 14 and still believes in Santa, maybe he probably also has other delusions of the world and is a bit naive. Just saying.

Techventure Partnership Moves to Fairfax Campus, Extends Services
Posted: April 25, 2002 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
By Elena Barbre
Techventure Partnership, a joint program of the Mason Enterprise Center and the Virginia Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) that helps early-stage technology entrepreneurs build their companies, has added a new category of clients–students and faculty members who conceptualize technology businesses in the academic environment. To accommodate this new area of growth, the organization has relocated from the CIT Building to the South P.E. Module on the Fairfax Campus.
Techventure Partnership has provided business development services such as counseling, private-sector advice, and training seminars for more than 50 area start-up technology companies since its inception. "We will continue to work with our network of providers and advisors to assist start-up and early-stage technology companies with program offerings that are targeted and relevant to technology entrepreneurs," says Arnie Quirion, executive director of Techventure Partnership. "The move to campus gives us the opportunity to assist with technology transfer efforts at George Mason University and to support students and faculty who are considering business start-up initiatives."
"Our goal is to continue providing our traditional services to the technology community while working directly with students and faculty who have technology expertise and are interested in creating a high-technology product, whether they be in the School of Information Technology and Engineering or the College of Nursing and Health Science," says Keith Segerson of the Mason Enterprise Center. "We want to give students the basic building blocks they need to become technology entrepreneurs."
More than 30 student teams participated in the Mason Enterprise Center's first Student Business Plan Competition last year, showing that there is considerable interest in business development on the part of Mason students, says center Director Roger Stough. "I'm expecting a flowering of student-directed enterprise development at George Mason, and the move of the partnership to campus will provide needed institutional infrastructure to support this growing interest in enterprise development among the student body."
Faculty or students who would like assistance in developing a business to market and sell their high-technology product or service should contact the Techventure Partnership office at x34220.
