Guardian fiberglass composite products since 1994 starting with bridge decks with full system products to date.
Manufacturing Fiberglass Composite Bridges in conformance to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.
Fiberglass composite structural elements offer tremendous potential to meet owners critical needs for rehab or new construction because by design they are prefabricated using robust, durable materials with high strength, low weight ratios that lend themselves well to prefabricated modular in width and length with cost in place less than concrete, weighing approx. 80% less than concrete, 40% less than steel orthotropic steel deck systems, 30% less than open steel grating.
High strength in tandem with low weight provides excellent constructability as the modular units can be erected in days versus months.
Immune to water ingress, salt, de-icing materials, they have a service life 2 to 3 times greater than concrete and provide redundant load paths that satisfy in service stiffness and exceed section strength requirements as ultimate loads provide for safety factors in excess of five when compared to in service conditions.
The Design is in conformance to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code and AASHTO.

Computervision was my first real software development job. I worked on CADDS4, a so-called "turnkey" Computer Aided Design (CAD) product. "Turnkey" meant you bought the hardware and software from Computervision. The CPU was based on the Data General Nova minicomputer. The monitor was an enormous monochrome Instaview display. The tablet in front of the monitor was an input device. You used a stylus to draw on the tablet and select commands from a static template.
We programmed exclusively in FORTRAN. This is mind-boggling to me now. I don't know how we got anything done. FORTRAN has a rigid, punch card-oriented syntax. A 'C' in column 1 indicates the line is a comment. Otherwise, columns 1-5 are reserved for line numbers. Column 6 is used only when the line is a continuation of the previous line. But you can do anything you want with the remaining 74 columns.
And people did. The language was created before many of the fundamentals of structured programming were developed. Think GOTO statements -- lots of them.
But I digress. What I really want to convey is an important lesson I learned at Computervision. Here it is:
Innovation inside a company can be a threat to the business. Innovation outside the company is a bigger threat.This may sound trite, but when you are in the thick of things, it can be hard to see.
In 1984 Computervision, long the dominant player in CAD, was in a pitched battle with the likes of Applicon and Intergraph. These companies had come up with a new spin on turnkey CAD. Instead of building their own hardware, they packaged their software on hardware from other vendors. As I recall, Applicon and Intergraph both wrote software for Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) hardware. Other CAD vendors developed software for Sun and Apollo hardware. Market pressure forced Computervision to embark on a major migration from its proprietary hardware to Sun microcomputers. But Computervision, Applicon and Intergraph were all still in the turnkey CAD business.
Computervision was struggling mightily with the SunOS migration when another threat developed -- this time from inside the company. Ken Ledeen and some other smart people started a "greenhouse" project to investigate the Personal Computer-based CAD market. I don't know why they started the project. Maybe they noticed PC-based WordStar was starting to erode Wang's turnkey word processing business. Maybe they wondered if the same thing could happen to turnkey CAD. In any case, they struck a deal with a small development company and quickly released Personal Designer. It wasn't nearly as capable as CADDS4, but over a couple of releases, it became increasingly powerful. And Personal Designer ran on any 286 PC with a math co-processor installed. Customers could even run it on the same machine they were already using for WordStar.
Personal Designer was sold through a completely new channel. It was shrink-wrapped, shipped in volume to companies like Egghead, and sold by mail order. It started to take off. Pretty soon the traditional Computervision sales department took notice. They complained Personal Designer was "cannibalizing" the CADDS4 business. Although Ken Ledeen tried to reason with the sales department, Personal Designer remained a pariah. I won't say it was killed, but it did slowly die of neglect. It never got the funding and support it deserved.
I won't bore you with all the details, but a little company called AutoDesk rode the PC revolution to take huge chunks of the CAD market from the turnkey vendors. The way I remember it, Personal Designer had the jump on AutoCAD, but AutoDesk was hungrier than Computervision. Computervision, Applicon, and Intergraph were eventually either decimated or acquired.
I have seen the same thing happen a few times in my career. A company stifles innovation because it threatens the main business. Don't get me wrong -- innovation can be painful. For example it hurts to transform a company from a low-volume, high-margin business to a high-volume, low-margin one. But it hurts more when your competitor eats your lunch.
Apparently, the Computervision brand and products are now wholly owned by Parametric Technology Company. For a slice of Computervision history visit this page. For more on the history of CAD, see this one.

Latest news
Softrope now has it's own site, please see softrope.net for the latest information.
What is Softrope
Softrope is an audio application for Dungeon Masters, a kind of RPG sound mixer. Softrope allows you to build a collection of sound-based scenes. You build each scene with simple single sound-effects, layered up to create a more complex soundscape.
I've been using an early build in recent DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) games and it's going well. To join the beta simply email a request to email@example.com.
How about an example?
Picture the scene, your players' character's are tramping through a lush green tropical rainforest, in a storm. Let's build a soundscape for this.
1st Sound Effect: A short rain loop. Looped in Softrope to loop continuously.
2nd Sound Effect: Another continuous loop, this time some chirping jungle birds.
3rd Sound Effect: A thunderclap set to loop with a random ten to thirty second gap.
Now the thunderclap sound effect might get a bit repetitve, so Softrope allows you to choose multiple samples for each sound effect, and randomly chooses one for each repeat. The randomness of the actual thunder sample used and the random gap between thunderclaps keeps the whole sceen sound more organic.
You can see how this would look in this screenshot of the Scene Editor.
How does it work in play?
While you are running a game you need things kept simple and out of the way. The screenshot above is just the Scene Editor. During play you are presented with a sceen full of scene buttons, click one and that scene plays. Imagine it a bit like the menu on an iPhone and you've got where I'm heading.
Also alongside sound effects will be playlists for those that like to include music in their games, different playlists of course can be triggered by scenes or just whenever you need to without changing current scene(s) playing.
Latest Screenshot
Where can I try Softrope?
Softrope is currently being built. A beta will be released in the near future. If you are interested in testing early versions of Softrope then please don't hesitate to email me email me.
Why Softrope?
Surely I'm not the only DM to have a this happen in a situation where rope was required.
Player: "I've got some soft rope, will that do."
DM: "WTF? Soft rope?"
Player: "Here on my equipment I've written, 'Rope (SOft)'."
DM: Looks closely.
DM: Slaps player.

Program courses explore a science-based focus that enables the understanding of reactions, mechanisms, diversity and impact on the environment. The four-year environmental science program offers in-depth knowledge in two streams – chemistry and biology.
The natural world with its complexity and beauty offers many opportunities to learn. Our environment provides us energy, nourishment, employment and recreation – and to use it properly, we need to understand it.
At Grenfell, the environment is your laboratory. Your professors will encourage you to get involved in their research – everything from the breakdown of pesticides in the environment to the impact of the forest industry on songbird populations.
Grenfell's environmental science program is a four-year interdisciplinary degree with general or honours options. You will also have the choice of completing one of two streams:
Grenfell's environmental science program offers a combination of lectures, laboratory work and field courses in a number of required courses and environmental focus areas.
In western Newfoundland, our environment is a part of our identity. Our economy, our recreation and our health depend on it.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site,
Gros Morne National Park, is in our backyard. The park has unique geological features and at the
Bonne Bay Marine Station, facilities include a laboratory for the observation and study of undisturbed natural systems where students have the opportunity to complete field
courses. Our location on the west coast of Newfoundland offers unique opportunities and real life experiences gives you access to various natural habitats, including:
View our environmental science program courses.
science facilities include a new Arts and Science Building extension houses state-of-the-art chemistry, biology and soils labs:
For the Record: Seeking squirrels
Recognizing student research
You'll enjoy the lowest tuition rate in English-speaking Canada. The provincial government gives high priority to education, providing extensive funding to Memorial University. This commitment allows us to provide an affordable yet high-quality post-secondary education.
Small class sizes mean a more intimate learning experience where your professors know you by name.
Our low student-instructor ratio ensures that your learning will be personal and relevant. With just over 1,300 students on campus, you'll make real connections with your classmates and become an important part of the Grenfell community.
Meet our environmental science faculty and staff.
Because of Grenfell's small size, students have ample opportunity to work closely with professors on research projects, and even get to complete their own
research projects in their final year.
As a Grenfell student, you can participate in the
Student Exchange Program, where you pay Grenfell tuition rates while studying in another student exchange member university in Canada or the United States.
You must meet the
general admission requirements for Memorial University and declare environmental science as your major to be accepted to the program. There are several
scholarships and awards available to prospective students who are applying to the environmental science program.
Graduates of the environmental science program can enter a number of different fields; review these categories to learn more about the types of careers you might pursue:

Dear students and teachers.
An interesting data about languages: Spanish is the second most spoken language of the world. After Mandarin and slightly above English --a pleasent sorprise for me-- according to recent estimates.
Spanish is the official language of 27 countries and dependent states. It is the main second language of another 5 countries, including the United States of America. And it is a widely used language in most of the former British and French Caribbean Islands (once called the West Indies)
Researchers have estimated in more than 450 million people speaking Spanish now a day, versus estimations of about 400 million people speaking English.
Chinese Mandarin, by far, is the most spoken language of the world with more than 970 million people estimaded. (See 1,2,3 sources bellow)
In a time when commercial and diplomatic relations between China and Latin America are being strengthened in order to overcome the negative impacts of USA and European economical crisis, learning Spanish (from latin american tutors) is more and more appretiated every day.
So, when choosing a second language for your self or your kids, please remember that when a new student finishes intermediate and advanced Spanish courses s/he will be speaking one of two top languages on earth and one of six official languages of the United Nations.

JOHN 5 - "Ten Guitarists Who Blew My Mind..."
February 12, 2018, a year ago
Music Radar caught up with guitarist John 5 (Rob Zombie, ex-Marilyn Manson), who revealed the ten guitarists that blew his mind and changed his life as a musician
Eddie Van Halen
John 5: "The first time I heard Eddie playing, I was shocked… I couldn't believe my ears! It must have been the first album because that's what my teacher gave to me. And right from the get-go, it was unbelievable. He had it all – the playing, the tone, the songs – and that's why I was completely blown away. I must have heard it when it came out, though I was really quite young at the time. I loved KISS so much and remember it said Gene Simmons somewhere on the back, which made me even more intrigued about this guitar player… who, of course, would go on to change my life!"
Paul Gilbert
John 5: "Paul was another one who took that style to another place. He chose to use more string skipping in his arpeggios to make them very musical… it wasn't just crazy, crazy shredding. I think that's really important. Say, with Van Halen, not only was Eddie an amazing guitarist and inventor, he was a brilliant songwriter. That's what Paul brought to it too; he was just a brilliant composer. From Mr. Big to all the Racer X stuff, I really am a big fan of Paul's and he's had such a big influence on me. That's really important – there are so many amazing guitar players out there but maybe we'll never discover them because there's no songs or music behind it."
Read John 5's complete rundown here.
John 5 has revealed that former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley will make a guest appearance when he and The Creatures hit the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, California on April 6th. Previously announced guests for the show include Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), and Scott Ian (Anthrax).John 5 And The Creatures - comprised of guitarist John 5, bassist Ian Ross and drummer Logan Miles Nix - recently released their new live album, It's Alive!
It's Alive! is the first album released by the world-renowned guitarist to be featured on vinyl, and is also available to purchase with a stunning 24-page, full color tour book covering the John 5 And The Creatures tour journeys so far. It's Alive! was recorded spontaneously at the Sellersville Theater in Sellersville, Pennsylvania in April 2017.

- Dismissively slap small pile of clean clothing to put itself away, since I have kept the mountain from regrowing LIKE A BAWSS.
A. the water drip completely ruins the patio overhang
B. the fiberglass insulation manages to work its way through protective clothing, eat through my skin and lay eggs in my brain
C. my brain parboils in its own cerebrospinal fluid and I pass out & fall through the kitchen ceiling
Sod this for a lark. I'm re-upping my HVAC contract and having a professional tromp around with their fiberglass-proof cyberlungs or whatever.

Cher roped in for musical 'Burlesque'June 24th, 2009 - 2:03 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, June 24 (ANI): Singer/actress Cher has been roped in along with Christina Aguilera to star in a musical film named Burlesque.
According to Variety, Aguilera, 28, will play a small-town girl from Iowa who moves to L.A. and lands work at a neo-burlesque club run by Cher.
Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper said he has been lobbying Cher for years to return to films.
"She brings a soulfulness and gravitas to this character that will ground the story," People magazine quoted Culpepper as saying.
"The only person who was more excited than I am is Christina," he added. (ANI)

I would like to thank Net Galley and publishers Little, Brown Book Company for the copy of 'Girls on Fire' by Robin Wasserman in exchange for my review.
Hannah Dexter is your usual High School misfit, a social pariah, subjected to ridicule by the Queen of the school, Nikki Drummond. When she sees new girl Lacey Champlain, a girl who stands out from the rest of the crowd, she hopes to find in her a friend, someone with whom she can share her hatred of Nikki. For a while, Lacey doesn't notice Hannah, but when they finally meet up, Lacey begins to transform Hannah into Dex, a girl with more confidence and determination than she had ever known was possible, liberating Hannah from the sensibilities of her past.
But what Dex doesn't know is that Lacey and Nikki are keeping a secret. At Halloween, Nikki's boyfriend went into the woods surrounding their small provincial town, and commits suicide, leaving behind a simple note, but one or the other of them understands the true reason why.
In a small town community, the fear of paganism is rife and anything which undermines their simple existence must be stamped out. With Dex and Lacey becoming more and more out of control, they anger parents and teenagers alike and as Lacey seemingly turns to witchcraft, it is all too easy for the town to turn against her, driving the story forward to an almost inevitable conclusion which will see Lacey and Dex's futures intertwined forever.
For me, Girls on Fire is an intriguing look at teenage life, the constant battle to find a place where you truly belong, the feeling of disenfranchisement and isolation that comes from not being part of the popular clique. The relationship between Lacey and Dex is both toxic and yet defining for Dex/Hannah, I that it allows her to tap into a deep seated hatred of the people around her, releasing an inner wild child. The story sort of reminded me of a cross between 'Heathers' and 'The Craft.' Clear parallels can be drawn between Nikki Drummond and Heather Chandler, the most popular, beautiful and powerful girl in the school. No matter how cruel she is, people will fall over themselves to be her friend, to prove themselves worthy of her attention. The same can be said of the relationship between Lacey and Dex when comparing to 'The Craft'. While Lex does not actually practice witchcraft, the town's suspicions and paranoia lend a certain self-fulfilling element to the woes that befall her 'victims', and the ultimate breakdown in trust between the two friends is very similar to the way in which the four friends in 'The Craft' are pushed apart through jealousy and deceit.
The story is also one of small town America, of a community where church and family and status are valued above all else. Where the paranoia and suspicion of anything which does not fit the status quo drives the need of the community to demonise Lacey rather than look to the cause of her behaviour. A community that is happier to believe she is a witch, than simply a child in desperate need of help and support.
Set at the start of the 1990's, the story is told primarily from Hannah/Dex's point of view and the sections where we dip into Lacey's voice drives the story in as much as we are able to realise there is much more to her hatred of Nikki Drummond than simple envy of her popularity at school. That they share an intimate secret, one which Lacey goes to great pains to keep from Dex. Interjected between the two voices, are three sections from the mothers of Lacey, Nikki and Dex, which give us a different perspective on how they see their children and perhaps what it is that has made them who they are.
I found the pacing of the story just right, although at times I did want the action to move on a little as there was perhaps a little too much wallowing on the part of Dex. The motives of both Lacey and Nikki in befriending Dex are kept well hidden, and the reveal as to the true reason is both surprising and perhaps shocking in equal measure. It was well written, the characters and teenage angst well observed and the sense of foreboding as Dex and Lacey's relationship progressed kept the story suspenseful, making me want to keep reading on, if only to see how it would finally implode as you know it will.
Overall, I found it to be a compelling story of pre-internet and smartphone school life, where image and social status were everything. The musical and historical references took me back in time (I was just leaving school at this time and can easily recognize some of the pains of late teenage years in the tale, although I never took my dislike of some fellow pupils to this extreme.) A highly recommended 4 stars.

Ads are necessary for free internet but 30% of Internet users say the find traditional display ads distracting and intolerable. In fact Ad blocking grew by 41% globally. This is bad for free internet, most websites (including ours) provide you with free valuable information and most of our revenue is from digital advertising. Now Ad block doesn't help but it turns out people use ad blocking because most of them find online ads very creepy as they tend to stalk you(user) around the internet with personalized ads you as a visitor hadn't asked for.
So what if we help you getting ads which aren't personalized to you, most personalized ads depend on you recent searches on Google but by blocking personalized ads you will be shown ads which aren't related to your searches and are non-personalized to you. This way you can still support the sites you love and yet not get creepy-personalized ads from advertisers.
This post will help you block most of the online trackers from tracking you which means most of the settings needs to be done by being logged in to your Google or Facebook or Microsoft account. Blocking from mobile ads requires another step of opting out from the device too.
Go to your Google My Account Page > Ad Settings > Manage Ads Settings > Turn OFF the Ads Personalization.
This will bring a popup to confirm your action and explains more about ads personalization. Make sure you click Turn it OFF to remove all personalization settings for ads. This will not affect your Google account or any Google services you use. So don't worry and just turn it OFF.
Google provides an extension to install for your browser which helps you stay opted out of these trackers.
Unfortunately, these extensions by Google haven't been updated for long time so we cannot tell you if they still work to do what they are supposed to. The add-on for Firefox will not work as its not made for the latest Firefox version.
But wait we aren't done yet, at the bottom of the page you will find a block that says 'OPT OUT OF MORE ADS' click on it and it will take you to a new page which helps you block ads from all other advertising platforms Google has partnered with to serve ads all over the Internet.
This page will run a few checks and scan all the trackers which were served to you, after a few minutes it will list you 100s of trackers and let your choose which ones to opt-out of. This also includes the mobile ads by adroll so by doing this you also can opt-out of adroll ads. If you really want to get rid of all personalized ads its better to choose all and opt-out of all of them. Fair warning, the whole process on this AdChoices page will take more a few tries to successfully opt-out of them all. The test itself doesn't always run properly on the first try and once the list is compiled you might see the end result saying you were opt-out of only a few trackers and rest you need to try again.
Don't get discouraged by this and lose patience. Be patient and try again and eventually you will be able to opt-out of most. At the end you cannot opt-out of all the trackers as some are saved in your active cookies and sessions but to remedy this DAA provides an extension to install for your browser which helps you stay opted out of these trackers and save these settings even if your settings and cookies are cleared.
Unlike the ones provided by Google, these are very well updated.
At the time of writing, the last update for these extensions was 8 days ago.
Go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of "Ads Personalisation".
Turn it ON, by default it is turn OFF and every Android device participates in for personalized ads.
There is another option on the same page to choose for Google Ads but that we did in the above step from desktop. If you want you can double check and check that page but it will take you to the same ad personalization page we covered in the previous step.
Settings > Privacy >Advertising > Turn on Limit Ad Tracking
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Turn off Location-based Apple Ads
Facebook is a very personal space, you follow your friends, people, celebrity, some news sites and most importantly you also follow your interests & brands which makes its easy for Facebook to build a profile around you which they sell it to advertisers to target ads which feel very personal to you.
Read our detailed guide on Facebook Privacy here
To get rid of all the personalized ads go to the Ad Preferences page here and delete all the listed interests and tun off all the ads preferences based on websites you visit while logged in, apps you connect to facebook, and other social actions.
If you are Windows 10 user you are also being fed with some personalized ads by Microsoft. These are via your Microsoft Account, your Bing preferences and your Windows 10 System.
These ads are not only limited to Windows 10 users but if you use any of the Microsoft services the ads by Microsoft are being personalized and served to you.
To remove all the personalization, first lets do it from your Microsoft Account.
Click here and login to your Microsoft Account and adjust the settings which are in three categories viz. in browser, in Microsoft Account and in Windows.
You can turn all three of them OFF to remove any personalisation.
Windows 10 ads are handled separately as they serve you mostly Microsoft Store related ads based on your desktop usage. So open Windows 10 Settings > Privacy > General
Turn OFF the option to let apps use your advertising ID for experience across apps.
Not the biggest ad network yet you will encounter yahoo ads sometime. To opt out of ad tracking on Yahoo!, go to Yahoo! Ad Interest Manager here.
In the 'Your Advertising Choices' Section you can click Opt Out from 'Across the web' and 'On Yahoo'.
Click here to the to Personalization and Data page.
Make sure the follow are kept unchecked
- Personalize Ads
- Personalized based on your apps
- Personalize based on the places you've been
- Track where you see Twitter content across the web
- Share data through select partnerships
That's it! Now all the ads you should see is the generic ads related to the content or the app you are in. There should not be any personalized ads targeting you. The only problem is this is all good until your clear your browser cache or change the browser or switch a new system. Doing any of it might remove some of the saved settings so I would recommend you to save this page as a bookmark and come back to it every few months to make sure you opt-out of all personalized ads once a while. We will also update this page with all the other ad platforms opt-out page to make sure you privacy is in your hands.

November: "Optimising your P&L"
The Autumn
Conference will take place at
Milton Hill House, at Steventon, near Oxfordon
Thursday and Friday 8-9 November. The theme is Optimising
your P&L. Of course, there are two main ways to do this -
increase revenue and/or reduce costs. Recent conferences have
focused on education sales, education marketing and education
value, so here we'll focus on education costs.
Using the online,
anonymous survey tool, we'll not only collect the Pulse input
as before but also ask each company to provide approximate
percentages of their main costs to their revenue. These would
include instructor costs, course materials costs, classroom
costs, equipment costs, software costs, direct marketing
costs, sales costs, back office costs, central costs, and so
In the first
morning (The Business of Training), we'll make sure that everyone is using the same
terminology and can compare their own situations, without
revealing any sensitive information of course. We shall then
have major discussion sessions on:
Reducing classroom
delivery costs (fixed versus variable, partnering, equipment and
choices (instructors, consultants, partners, contractors, outsourcing)
What can be
centralised or "near-shored"?
In addition, there
will be a case study from Steve Macfarlane who will describe what
measures he took to increase profitability at Computer Associates,
and Jeffrey Berk of Knowledge Advisors will address the challenge
of how to justify the development of new programmes with ROI
calculations and tracking - An ROI approach to curriculum
On Friday
afternoon in Hot issues/topics, we'll bring together
the input sent in advance and discuss
along with any other conference-specific outcomes. Finally, after
a short CEdMA Annual
General Meeting, we have Planning
the events
in 2008,
where we want your input for future workshops and
There's no specific
personal development session this time, but for most attendees, we
expect that the whole conference might be regarded as personal

Your E-Learning Success Depends on These 7 Questions (Aug 07)
Many times you get projects where the customer has already
determined what she wants. If the customers right, this is good and
saves a lot of time. However, if the customers wrong, then you have
a problem. Youll waste time and money, and probably not meet
anyones goals. Make sure your customer gets what she really wants
versus what she think she wants.

Rapid E-Learning Revisited - the Need for a Learning Architecture
(Sep 07)
Because rapid e-learning courses are now so simple
and inexpensive to produce, it's more important than ever to have a
defined learning architecture that guides your team on which tools
to use for different learning applications. In order to keep content
development consistent and efficient, a learning architecture should
also guide developers on the formats, features, and types of
delivery to use for various learning projects.

And, Finally.....
This is allegedly a true
story. Engineers at a major aerospace company were instructed to
test the effects of bird-strikes (notably geese) on the windshields
of airliners and military jets. To simulate the effect of a goose
colliding with an aircraft travelling at high speed, the test
engineers built a powerful gun, with which they fired dead chickens
at the windshields. The simulations using the gun and the dead
chickens worked extremely effectively, happily proving the
suitability of the windshields, and several articles about the
project appeared in the testing industry press.
It so happened that
another test laboratory in a different part of the world was
involved in assessing bird-strikes - in this case on the windshields
and drivers' cabs of new very high speed trains. The train test
engineers had read about the pioneering test developed by the
aerospace team, and so they approached them to ask for
specifications of the gun and the testing methods. The aerospace
engineers duly gave them details, and the train engineers set about
building their own simulation.
The simulated
bird-strike tests on the train windshields and cabs produced
shocking results. The supposed state-of-the-art shatter-proof high
speed train windshields offered little resistance to the high-speed
chickens; in fact every single windshield that was submitted for
testing was smashed to pieces, along with a number of train cabs and
much of the test booth itself.
The horrified train
engineers were concerned that the new high speed trains required a
safety technology that was beyond their experience, so they
contacted the aerospace team for advice and suggestions, sending
them an extensive report of the tests and failures.
The brief reply came
back from the aero-engineers: "You need to defrost the chickens...."
Feedback, please!
I would really like to get input from you, the readers. Please
give me your feedback and point me towards any article or source
that you think the rest of the membership might enjoy. Thank you.

Whether you're starting a photography business from scratch – or wanting to discover how to improve the profitability of a photography business you already have, you will find the tips revealed in this article, and subsequent articles, very valuable – I sure have.
You see, starting a photography business is like starting your car – if you have the "keys" it's a whole lot easier and faster than if you don't have the keys.
There are 3 major keys to starting your photography business (or improving the one you already have) . Let's talk about the first "key" in this article.
Starting a photography business Key #1: Smart Pricing Skills –
Here's 5 secrets regarding your pricing that will make you a lot of money with your photography business:
1. Decide NOT to keep your prices really low – it's just not necessary. If you keep your prices low – you won't make hardly any money, and you'll be gone before you even got started. If people are not hiring you right now – it's NOT because your prices are too high. Not a chance. It's because your marketing is not effective and you can't sell effectively.
2. The actual prices aren't anywhere near as important as the WAY you merchandise them. For example – I have discovered that packages (or "collections") almost always outsell a-la-carte pricing – so offer packages. This makes the decisions much easier for your clients and prospects. (I suggest you also offer a-la-carte pricing, too, so you can use this to your advantage – see #3 below.)
3. Always state how much your clients will save by choosing a certain package over investing in individual images one at a time. So you set your a-la-carte prices substantially high – fair – but high. Then you put together packages or "collections" which will give your clients a great savings over what it would have cost them if they had invested in the same sizes from your a-la-carte menu.
4. Never put your prices on your website. It's one of the most common mistakes photographers make. It totally screws up your business. Why? Because the number one reason people call you is to find out the price. If you give that to them on your site, there's no reason to call you, and you will never have the chance to build trust and a relationship with them, and then book them.
5. Raise your prices twice a year – no matter what. I call this "Auto-Pilot Pricing" and it's amazingly effective. Twice a year, you raise your fees between 10% and 20% each time. This is not much of an increase. But, as you do this twice a year, it really adds up, and before you know it, you're fees are very substantial.
So there you have it – 5 powerful tips regarding the pricing of your photography services – whether you are just starting a photography business, or you already have a photography business and want to earn a better living with it.

51 Percent Losers
The midterms have given the Democratic Party a boost. But their professional-class politics are a cul de sac — we desperately need a political revolution driven by the needs and aspirations of the multiracial working class.

Matt Karp is an assistant professor of history at Princeton University and a Jacobin contributing editor.
The midterms have given the Democratic Party a boost. But their professional-class politics are a cul de sac — we desperately need a political revolution driven by the needs and aspirations of the multiracial working class.
Democratic leaders still haven't learned: you can't fight the forces of oligarchy without naming the enemy.
Historians Eric Foner and Matt Karp on the international ambitions of the US slaveholding class — and the abolitionist movement that brought them down.
The slaveholding class defeated in the Civil War were no ragtag band of sectionalists — they were the masters of the US state.
Hillary Clinton won rich suburbs in record numbers. But her campaign failed to mobilize workers of all races.
Bernie Sanders is the most-liked politician in the United States. What does that mean for the future of left politics here?
The Sanders campaign has been driven by class politics, not white male angst.
Four points on last week's New York Democratic primary.
For forty years, liberals have accepted defeat and called it "incremental progress." Bernie Sanders offers a different way forward.
The numbers don't lie: Bernie Sanders would be a formidable general election candidate.
Can Bernie Sanders win the delegate battle? It won't be easy — but here's one way it could happen.
The pundits are wrong. Bernie Sanders is the most electable candidate this November.
Make no mistake: even a narrow Bernie Sanders victory in today's New Hampshire primary would be an enormous upset.
The Democratic Party elite has launched a virtually unprecedented attack against Bernie Sanders.
Whatever the claims of the media, Bernie Sanders's appeal does not seem limited to liberals.
In Iowa and New Hampshire, Barack Obama won over high-income liberals. Bernie Sanders's campaign points in a different direction.
Seven tidbits from Bernie Sanders's memoir, Outsider in the White House.
Like the abolitionists, Chris Hayes argues, climate activists must mount "a movement of dispossession."
12 Years a Slave rightly grounds slavery in economic exploitation, but reflects our era's painful uncertainty about how that exploitation can be opposed.

How to Avoid Moving Day Stress
Toto Where are You?
Stress from moving day can seem like we are Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. First you are on your quiet little farm in Kansas and then suddenly, a tornado hits and you are sucked up in to the middle of a twister!
Everything is flying around in a flurry of hurry and confusion! Then, just as suddenly, everything is dropped down in a completely different world and you realize that you are not in Kansas anymore!
A Moving Day Story
A friend's mother was moving to a new apartment and like we all do, she had some special items that meant a lot to her. Her china cabinet was a special piece of furniture that had been in her family for more that fifty years. Inside the cabinet were collectables that she treasured for many years.
The china cabinet was very well kept and had curved glass doors and lights inside to show off the beloved treasures. In fact, her new apartment was chosen as it had the perfect place to show off her cabinet. Pictures of the cabinet and the treasures inside were taken and everything was carefully and lovingly packed with lots of tissue and peanuts so that everything would arrive in the same condition in which it left.
The movers carefully moved the cabinet into her new apartment. When the cabinet arrived it was in perfect condition and with the help of the photographs all of the beloved treasures were gently placed back inside the cabinet. Standing back and admiring the beautiful treasures, Ann's mother realized that the lights weren't on inside the cabinet.
That is when the realization struck her right between the eyes. You have to plug the cord to the cabinet into a wall outlet so that the light would come on to illuminate the beautiful treasures inside! Where was the outlet? Was there an outlet nearby? Would she need an unsightly extension cord? Was it behind the cabinet? Would she have to unload the entire cabinet? Would she have to move the cabinet by herself? Would she have to move to a new place? Panic started to sync in; bedlam and turmoil and stress! Oh My!
Three horrible seconds until Ann's mother ran to the other side of the cabinet and saw to her immense relief, an electrical outlet perfectly positioned as if it was placed there just for her cabinet.
Stress begone…Over the rainbow and home!
To keep from feeling that panic of bedlam and turmoil and stress, Oh My!, on Moving Day look for the important outlets, phone and fax jacks before you move. In addition, what about the TV and computer cable jacks? Do you want a phone, computer and TV in your bedroom? Locate the jacks ahead of time to avoid the flurry and stress on moving day.
At Moving Forward, we do this all the time. Part of helping clients plan their move is to help them decide where to place furniture. That includes locating appropriate outlets. Usually it works out, but sometimes it means contacting the cable company for example and getting a new outlet. If this is done ahead of time, you can avoid chaos on moving day.

I find that it is helpful to actually read the reviews. Often, a negative rating arises from miscommunication, rather than overall bad business practices..

There are over a thousand reviews for Amazon. How does it get a 6.17 rating and still get recommended by so many people? It doesn't add up...
1. Perhaps Amazon is slipping, but their 6-month rating is close to their lifetime rating..
2. I suspect that some of the complaints stem from not understanding the difference between Amazon and Amazon Marketplace..
3. You are better off dealing with Amazon online only, via their automated system. Trying to customize your shopping experience with hands-on interaction is not likely to be of benefit..
4. I have found them easy to deal with, if you follow the rules and read the screen information. There is potential for confusion and misunderstanding in dealing with such a large, complex and diversified entity..
Image control:Zoom outZoom 100%Zoom inExpand AllOpen in new window..
Amazon is a different animal altogether. Many items bought through Amazon are sourced and fulfilled by 3rd party retailers who advertise on Amazon for the additional exposure they provide..
It's quite possible that many of the negative reviews that Amazon receives is aligned within specific market segments. Review sites like resellerratings, while very useful, don't differentiate between these different market sources within the Amazon umbrella..

Amazon is a tricky beast, because they have three tiers of selling:.
* they sell directly* they provide products from reputable sellers like Adorama* they provide products from unreputable no-name sellers.
Their ratings will not cover just their reliability for their own products, nor for the kinds of products usually discussed here which come from Adorama. They will include all those unsatisfying transactions with the no-name sellers of used or "discount" products. At least Amazon adds a reasonable guarantee on top of the third-party sales..
Personally, I haven't liked Adorama as a vendor either, but when I buy direct from Amazon, I've had no problems with delivery or return policies..
[ e d @ h a l l e yc c ] http://www.halley.cc/pix/..
Resellerratings.com has been around for a very long time and is a trusted source for this type of information..
As has previously been explained, Amazon sells in different ways. When viewing an item at Amazon there is usually a link that says "[some number] used and new available from [some price]" and used deals available. If the item I'm considering isn't being supplied by Amazon I always check that link. Usually I can find the item supplied by Amazon directly..
Like others, I've had very good experiences when buying Amazon fulfilled items...

Amazon is where you buy directly from Amazon. Amazon ships your item..
Amazon Marketplace is where you buy "from Amazon", but your order is fulfilled from a 3rd party outfit. If you look close enough, you can usually tell if that's the case. But too many folks just see the price then click BUY without reading the fine print..
Not that AM is a bad thing, mind you. But with 37 bazillion 3rd party outfits involved, each with their own business practices and policies, there's bound to be problems..

Check out canogacamera.com...a rating of 9.92 lifetime and 10 for last 6 months. Although I use Amazon for many things, I use Canoga for cameras and lenses. Good prices, plus if you need help you can call and actually talk to someone who is knowledgeable about photography...
John Hariot wrote:.
I see a lot of posts with people looking for advice on the bestplaces to buy cameras. The advice comes back to go to reputable B&Mstores or online retailers with good track records. Three names thatseem to come up the most are B&H, Amazon and Adorama. People are alsoadvised to visit http://www.resellerratings.com. I went there myselffor the first time today but am now a little confused. B&H gets alifetime rating of 9.38 (out of 10).
And Amazongets 6.17. Why are people advising us to use resellerratings andAmazon when resellerratings doesn't seem to rate Amazon very highly.What am I missing?.
You really have to take sites like http://www.resellerratings.com with a grain of salt. Happy customers don't typically seek out internet resositorys to share their joy... On the other hand everyone that had a bad experience, especially those who are cronic bad experience shoppers want to tell their "woh is me" tales..
Then there is always the numbers issue, a business with 1000 complaints may have done business with 1,000,000 customers yet the business with 10 complaints only had 100 customers. Which would you rather do business with? the store with 1000 complaints in this example has 1 upset customer for every 1000 customers. The one with 10 complaints upsets 1 in every 10 customers......Dennis..

It's a rainy and yucky day here in Northern Virginia. Outside on the screen porch, where I often go to carve, its cold and damp. So I've spent my time down in my studio trying out pyrography. (Remember that woodburning tool you had as a kid? That's pyrography.)
The spoon is a store bought one but the design is original. It was fun to make and I'd like to make more of them. They'll eventually go in my Etsy shop or become hostess gifts.
