We've covered thermoelectric conversion before. Basically, it's when a device produces electricity when one part is hotter than another part. Obviously, this could be a fairly useful trick in capturing waste heat.
It would be even more awesome if they could be used to harvest the heat of our bodies, and use it to power our gadgets. Unfortunately, up until now, thermoelectric devices weren't able to be used with such slight temperature gradients. Well not anymore. The Fraunhofer Institute in Germany has managed to create energy with extremely small temperature differentials. The result, Palpatinesque power from the palm of your hands? Not quite, really, just about 200 millivolts...or roughly 100 times less energy than it takes to power your cell phone.
But that's the palm of the hand. Which got me thinking about areas of the body where the temperature differentials might be greater. The neck...the wrist...the...ahem...and now I am going to stop this list before anything disturbing happens.

Natural Theology (Part 2)
In Romans 1, we read that nature proclaims the existence of God. But in recent years, many people have come to deny the possibility that we can learn anything about God from nature. In this lesson, Dr. R.C. Sproul helps us understand the stakes in this debate, and shows how this "natural theology" can help us defend our faith.

Invitation to a Dialogue: Working Arrangements
The United States lags behind most of the world's developed nations in rankings of the best places for mothers, especially working mothers. One reason is that the careers of many Americans demand schedules incompatible with the requirements of parenthood. Having no available middle ground, some primary caregivers (mostly mothers) leave their careers. If they do later return, they nearly always do so at salaries and positions well behind peers who did not interrupt their careers.

QC Blues Fest Wins Presigious Award
January 24, 2014
As a local festival celebrates its 30th year, it's also won a coveted prize in music circles. Today in Memphis, the Blues Foundation presented the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival with this year's Keeping the Blues Alive award, in the category U.S. Festival.
Art Tipaldi served on the committee that chose the Quad Cities festival. He says the award is not given to the best festival of the year. Instead, the foundation gives the Keeping the Blues Alive honor as a lifetime achievement award. "To be at 30 years in this economy. I mean, some festivals have had to cut back from three to two days or not host at all. That it found a support system in Davenport and the area shows how much the festival means to the area."
Five years ago, at the height of the recession, the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival had to host fundraisers after a flood forced the group to move its venues from Davenport's LeClaire Park to 2nd Street. Back then, the local visitors bureau estimated it brought in about 2.5 million dollars a year to the local economy.
Tipaldi says the blues society has a deep, deep history. "Look at the list of performers they've had over the years. It's a who's who in the blues. They don't disappoint their fans!"
In the past, the Mississippi Valley Blues Society has won the Organization of the Year award. All three times during a flood year: 1993, 2001, and 2008. Tipaldi says only certain people or groups can nominate festivals for the Keeping the Blues Alive honor. And it was past award winner in the education category, Hawkeye Herman, who nominated the Quad Cities blues festival to help promote its 30th anniversary.

Audyssey's Lower East Side Audio Dock Air is a compact, good-sounding AirPlay speaker
Audyssey's $400 Lower East Side Audio Dock Air is, put simply, a black, upright, rectangular slab of an AirPlay speaker. Featuring some interesting physical design decisions, it generates impressive sound.
The five-pound Audio Dock measures 8.3 inches tall, 8.9 inches deep, and 4.7 inches thick. The two nearly square sides are covered in black mesh, with the four thinner sides sporting matte-black plastic—if you were to unpack the speaker before seeing a photo of it, you'd need to check the manual to figure out which way is up and which side is the front.
On top of the unit are two tiny LEDs that indicate the Audio Dock's power and AirPlay-connectivity status, along with a black, inset volume dial that doubles as a mute button if you push down on it. On the front of of the unit—one of the narrower sides—sit a headphone jack along something that looks like it should be a button or an infrared receiver, but is in fact merely decorative. That's a shame, because a power button would be a fine addition to the Audio Dock. Instead, it's always on when plugged in, and it offers no standby or off mode. As is typical of AirPlay speakers, there are no playback controls—you control playback on your iOS device or computer.Read more »

Restaurant weeks are popping up all over but one of the best happens every fall in Westerly.
As Jill Blanchette wrote this week, an always-interesting restaurant scene in Westerly has grown ever more vibrant.
For $15 for lunch and $25 for dinner you get a three-course meal, so this is a great opportunity to try one of Westerly's many new eateries.
Amigos Taqueria and Tequila has opened in the former Dylan's on Canal Street. For dinner you might choose an app of a mini chimichanga with chicken rice beans served with ranchero sauce, an entree of roast pork loin in cumin mango glaze with fried tortilla smothered in tomatilla salsa, chaapote carrots scallions mixed vegetable, and a dessert of plantain bread pudding.
Next door, at The Brazen Hen, you can begin lunch with Rhode Island stuffies, move on to bangers and mash and finish up with tiramisu.
Or wander across the street to The Twisted Vine, and after soup or salad, order an entree of braised short ribs over mashed potatoes, and end the night with apple crisp a la mode.
Other relatively new restaurants include the Sea Goose Grill & Raw Bar on Route 1, Trattoria Longo on Canal Street (formerly Bruna's Table), Ella's on Tower Street and The Haversham on Route 1.
For a full list of the participating restaurants and their menus, go here.
This is a hugely popular event, so you should make reservations if possible.

Frustrated with Washington's inaction, at least 12 states are moving urgently to protect their electric grids from the type of devastating electromagnetic pulse -- either from a solar flare or nuclear attack -- that federal authorities are growing concerned about.
"Let's start insisting that we protect the grid," said Maine State Rep. Andrea Boland, who recently put her state first on the map of those moving to require power companies to harden their electric lines and transformers from EMP.
"It's pretty much common sense," said Boland. "It's a terrible urgency."
The effort led by Maine comes a little more than a year after the sun blasted out a massive "coronal mass ejection" that, if directed at earth, could have knocked out East Coast electric grids and GPS systems. It was the latest of several seen in the last decade.
"We just kind of got lucky," said William Murtagh, of the National Weather Service's space prediction center. "These things are happening quite regularly on the sun."
When coupled with fears North Korea or Iran might launch an atmospheric nuclear blast that would have the same impact as a sun burst, the potential for disaster, mass chaos and deaths has many in Washington urging action. But since the federal government doesn't have the power to force electric companies to protect the grid, the fight is taking place in states that do have the power.
"The states get it," said Peter Vincent Pry, a member of the now-defunct congressional EMP Commission.
Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey said that the costs are tiny, maybe 20 cents per home per month. Other estimates are as low as 50 cents a year added to electric bills. But, Woolsey added, power companies don't want to spend money on it.
Besides Maine, Boland and Pry said that the states considering some kind of EMP resolution or law include Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Utah, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Washington, New York and Kentucky.
"We're not sweeping the country yet," said Pry, "but it's certainly headed that way."
Fears of an EMP catastrophe are winning attention also in the nation's top colleges, where experts are growing concerned that the federal government is burying its head in the sand.
Explaining his longer report in an online abstract, for example, James Madison University scholar George H. Baker said, "Simply put, grid failure is an existential threat to national governance and to the survival of the American population. Unfortunately, lawmakers have been slow to comprehend the severity of EMP effects on the grid."

It's time to put an end to all of the rumors surrounding the future Bentley SUV by talking about the real deal. Bentley has unveiled the EXP 9 F at the Geneva Motor Show. This luxury Sport Utility Vehicle concept previews the company's third model alongside the Mulsanne and the Continental ranges.
The new EXP 9 F looks just how one would expect a Bentley SUV to look. The designers basically took the standard Bentley styling cues and hiked it up to an SUV level. It features Bentley's famous matrix grille and round lamps, as well as an ultra-wide, two-part split tailgate and twin exhaust tailpipes.
The engine for the EXP 9 F, however, still remains a mystery. The concept was built with a 6.0 liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine under the hood, but the company says that, for the production version, both a 4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 or a hybrid drivetrain could meet the performance requirements.
UPDATE 07/06/2012: Bentley has unveiled a new set of images and a new video for their new EXP 9 F concept. Enjoy!
UPDATE 11/20/12: There's word that Bentley has come up with a name for the production EXP 9 F. While there's no official confirmation, but it looks like the SUV will be dubbed as the Falcon.
UPDATE 02/03/13: The Falcon has come and gone. That much appears to be the case after word has come out that Bentley has gone ahead and thrown the EXP 9 F to the dustbin. Can't say we're surprised, fellas.
Hit the jump to read more about the Bentley EXP 9 F concept.
"EXP 9 F had to represent the absolute pinnacle of the sport utility sector, setting a new benchmark for this type of vehicle. The style had to reflect Bentley's sporting character despite its radically different package and purpose together with sculptured, flowing surfaces in keeping with the Bentley tradition."
The new EXP 9 F was designed under the leadership of Dirk van Braeckel, Director of Design and represents "a dream project, the chance to create a completely new type of Bentley." Its exterior is bold and dynamic and combines clean, muscular surfaces with signature character lines. At the front of the SUV, Bentley has placed its usual matrix grille and round lamps. The day-time running lamp apertures also act as the charge cooler air intakes for the twin-turbo W12 engine.
The concept sits on a special set of 23" alloy wheels in a turbine design that was inspired by the shape of turbine fan blade. At the rear, the concept received an ultra-wide, two-part split tailgate and twin exhaust tailpipes with "rifled" inner surfaces. The rear lights are inspired by the forms and details of fighter jet engines.
"The challenge for the interior design team was to create a cabin which provides a blend of luxury and utility. The result is a light and airy environment with a commanding view of the road and a versatile layout which showcases Bentley's craft and design language in an innovative and contemporary way."
The new EXP 9 F is an SUV which means it should be sporty, but it's also a Bentley which is the definition of luxury. The interior combines materials like wood, leather, and polished metals such as aluminum, bronze, and gunmetal to create a sense of British luxury.
The dashboard was made in wood veneer combined with the traditional Bentley "bulls eye" vents on a "rifled" gunmetal inner surface for a more contemporary and functional appearance. The flowing roof was inspired by the roll cages of rally cars and features a panoramic glass panel.
The concept has a 4+1 capacity and the passengers can choose between business mode, with generous legroom complete with fold-down keyboard and full internet connectivity via an iPad or tablet, or a more reclined position with powered footrest, drinks table, and an infotainment screen for movies.
Bentley has also placed TFT touchscreen technology that allows the driver to select between three different driving modes – Comfort, Sport, and Off-Road.
The Bentley EXP 9 F is powered by a 6.0 liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine combined with an 8-speed transmission, but Bentley says that for the production version both 4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 or a hybrid drivetrain could meet the performance requirements.
When Can I Buy One?
A production version of the EXP 9 F is not expected until late 2014, so no one should dream about driving the Bentley SUV before early 2015.
Bentley has built their new EXP 9 F SUV as a direct competitor for models like the Porsche Cayenne , but its suggested price of $140,000 will also make it one of the most expensive SUVs offered on the market.
- Looks very aggressive
- We love those 23" wheels
- High-tech interior
- Just a concept
- Production version will be very expensive

My best guess, and it's just a guess, is that it's a client/server issue where someone is interacting with the corpse when the item is being auto-looted so it generates a hidden "that object is busy" error. As for Morchok, he's the only boss you defeat and go past instead of turning around or interacting with an NPC. So it seems likely that more people would click on him.

SALISBURY, Md. - A Salisbury road that has been closed for nearly two months, will finally be re-opened.
The Maryland State Highway Administration will be re-opening the intersection of West Isabella Street and Mill Street starting Tuesday, January 15th. The intersection has been closed since November.
The closure was put in place while the SHA installed storm water pipes. The work is part of an 18-month project that is expected to run until December 2013.

When the Cincinnati Bengals drafted cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick with the 17th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, they did so hoping he would eventually become a game-changer in Mike Zimmer's defense. It took a little longer than they anticipated, but the first career interception by Kirkpatrick helped spring the Bengals to a crucial road-win.
With the score tied at 7-7, the Bengals were on the ropes after the Chargers drove to the CIN-25 and looked poised to take control of the game. But after Philip Rivers tried to hit Antonio Gates across the middle, Kirkpatrick, who was right in his hip-pocket, ripped the ball away from Gates and gained possession of the ball for his first pick in an NFL game.
Ten plays later, Andy Dalton hit A.J Green for the go-ahead score, and Cincinnati would go-on to win the game by seven points.
That was certainly a moment worth celebrating over:

By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Local business owners are complaining about the huge Paseo/I-25 reconstruction project underway in Albuquerque – they say it's costing them customers.
It is orange barrel season along Paseo del Norte and its tributaries, and while the morning and evening rush hours are a headache, business owners say the rest of the day is a piece of cake. The trouble is that many of us are just bypassing the whole area altogether.
Cathlena Burr has had her Village Wools shop on Alameda near San Padero for seven years. She says the business took a dramatic drop when the Paseo project started last week.
"We're not going anywhere and we're open and there are many different ways to get here," Burr said. "I drove through the Big I when they did that for two years, getting my kids to and from school. It was never a problem."
The stitching goes on at nearby Kokopelli Quilting and Southwest Decorative on Carmel, but owner Mary Jo McCarthy says business is far from its usual busy, bustling self.
"I think people are getting the wrong message," McCarthy said. "They're being told that they can't access this area at all, when in fact there are many businesses right here. We're still open. We're open our usual hours."
To the rescue – the North I-25 Business Association. The 30 year old commercial group is putting together an online directory of places in the Paseo/I-25 zone that are open for business no matter what.
"We fear change," said Mary Ann Giangola of the Association. "I think the citizens have reacted to this by saying – oh – I'm going to avoid the area. What we want to do is encourage customers to continue to support businesses in the area."
"Just because there's a morning and evening commute issue doesn't mean that the whole area is affected and you can't get on san Pedro or you can't get on Paseo or you can't get on Alameda," said McCarthy. "I mean you can get to us – all of us – we're all open."
Here are the latest lane closures, in addition to the ones already in place from last week. Now eastbound Paseo has a lane closed from southbound I-25 to the Target entrance. The northbound I-25 frontage road has another lane closed from Just north of Ashley Furniture to Paseo, and the southbound frontage road has one lane closed from Coronado Village to Paseo.
Starting at 7 p.m. Monday, I-25 will be squeezed down to two lanes through the Paseo interchange for installation of concrete barriers. The job is expected to last two or three nights.

BEIJING - The men's eight crew capped a three-medal day for Canada at the Olympic rowing regatta by capturing a gold medal.
They won their race in five minutes 23.89 seconds.
"I knew that we had won it, there was nobody coming back at that point," coxswain Brian Price said of raising his arms near the finish line. "I kept telling them to keep on cranking."
Britain took silver in 5:25.11 while the United States won bronze in 5:25.34.
Earlier Sunday, the lightweight men's four and the lightweight women's double each captured bronze at the Beijing Games.
The gold brought redemption for the world champion eight team. Four years ago in Athens, the crew went in as double world champions but finished a disastrous fifth.
"I've been thinking about it ever since," said Kyle Hamilton. "I never thought I'd get the opportunity to be a favourite in an Olympics again.
"Just to come in as a favourite is an amazing experience. To do it twice is just amazing and to win ... I can't say anymore."
The eight comprises Hamilton of Richmond, B.C., Adam Kreek of London, Ont., Dominic Seiterle and Malcolm Howard of Victoria, Jake Wetzel of Saskatoon, Andrew Byrnes of Toronto, Ben Rutledge of Cranbrook, B.C., Kevin Light of Sidney, B.C., and Price of Belleville, Ont.
Earlier, the men's four crew of Iain Brambell of Victoria, Jon Beare of Toronto, Mike Lewis of Victoria and Liam Parsons of Thunder Bay, Ont., posted a time of 5:50.09 for bronze.
"We started everything we could in the first 500 to get ourselves into the race and essentially through the middle it's a dogfight, everybody wants a piece of it," said Brambell. "We knew that we had a really solid 500 and it was just a matter of not waiting for it but going, everyone together. We closed the eyes and went for it."
Canada used a late surge to solidify a claim on a medal, and almost moved into second place in the final leg. They finished just back of Poland, which took silver in 5:49.39.
"Coming into the last 500 we seemed to get our rhythm and Ian said 'Go for it,' we committed everything we had and went," said Parsons. "We knew it was tight, we really had no idea where we were when we started that sprint.
"It was exhausting. There wasn't anything left in the end."
Denmark took gold in 5:47.76.
It's been an emotional week for the lightweight four, whose coach Bent Jensen is battling pancreatic cancer. He came to the Games to lead his crew while getting chemotherapy treatments from the team doctor.
Their medal came about 40 minutes after Melanie Kok of St. Catharines, Ont., and Tracy Cameron of Shubenacadie, N.S., just managed to hold off a German crew for bronze.
They finished in 6:56.68, beating out the Germans for third by a mere 0.04 seconds.
"I thought we had it," said Cameron. "When we looked over I could see that our bow ball was definitely in front of the Germans. It was just making sure the judges were with us."
The Netherlands won gold in 6:54.74 while Finland took silver in 6:56.03.
"We're pretty pleased," said Kok. "After our first two races, we kind of had a tendency of sort of getting caught in the last 500 so we made it our mission to really execute that last 500 and lay it all down on the line and I think we did that."
The Canadian women's eight just missed a podium, settling for fourth in a time of 6:08.04. The Romanians took bronze in 6:07.25.
The United States took gold in 6:05.34 while the Netherlands, moving up from fourth heading into the final 500 metres, grabbed silver in 6:08.04.
The women's eight includes Jane Rumball of Fredericton, N.B., Darcy Marquardt of Richmond, B.C., Buffy Williams of St. Catharines, Ont., Romina Stefancic of Victoria, Ashley Brzozowicz of Toronto, Sarah Bonikowsky of Orangeville, Ont., Andreanne Morin of Montreal, Heather Mandoli of Kelowna, B.C., and coxswain Lesley Thompson-Willie of London, Ont.
It was a soggy day at the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. It poured rain until shortly before the start of racing but then let up as boats took the water.
The Canadian rowing team came into the Games hoping to bring home at least a couple medals and have now surpassed that goal.
Dave Calder of Victoria and Scott Frandsen of Kelowna, B.C., kicked things off with a silver in the men's pair on Saturday.

Alcoa's new bus design takes off in China
The aluminum-products manufacturer has made a lighter electric bus that one automaker plans to mass produce.
By: Zacks Equity Research
Alcoa (AA) has created a new all-aluminum bus design and space frame for Chinese automaker BYD, reducing the body weight of BYD's new electric bus by around 1 ton, or 40%, compared to steel components.
The aluminum-products manufacturer also cut the overall weight of the bus by 1.2 tons with its "Huck-Spin" fasteners and forged wheels. The reduction in overall weight will increase the electric bus' overall range by at least 10% to roughly 300 kilometers on a full charge.
BYD plans to produce thousands of these electric buses for the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets and also export the buses globally. For this proposed project, Alcoa will remain the exclusive supplier of the design and provide sheet product from its Bohai rolling mill in the Hebei province. Alcoa will also provide the exclusive forged-aluminum wheels and fasteners for the project.
BYD Electric Bus launched its first two prototype buses this week in Changsha City in the Hunan province. The debut of this new bus builds on Alcoa's capabilities in safe-transportation design, which include ground transportation and automotive space-frame technologies for brands such as Ferrari and Audi.
Alcoa reported adjusted earnings per share of 15 cents in its third quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 22 cents. Adjusted earnings more than doubled from 6 cents in the year-ago quarter, but were 46.4% lower than the sequential quarter earnings of 28 cents due to lower metal prices, seasonal factors and weakness in Europe.
Revenue for the quarter was up 21% year over year to $6.42 billion, but fell from $6.59 billion in the previous quarter. Alcoa's end markets demonstrated strong revenue growth on a year-over-year basis, but sequentially the company experienced mixed market conditions.
Revenue for alumina and aluminum fell 5% and 1%, respectively, driven by lower alumina shipments and lower realized pricing in both businesses. In the end markets, revenue increased in commercial transportation (6%) and aerospace (2%), while declines were seen in automotive (7%), industrial products (6%), building and construction (5%), and packaging (4%).
The company's adjusted EBITDA was $821 million, up 36% from third quarter 2010, but down 21% from second quarter 2011.
Currently, Alcoa has a short-term (one to three months) Zacks No. 3 hold rating and a long-term (6 months) neutral recommendation.
Alcoa faces stiff competition from Aluminum Corporation Of China Limited (ACH) or Chalco.

Japanese Porcelain on Exhibit at Hartnell College Gallery Now Through Dec. 16
November 11th, 2004
An exhibition of 19th and 20th century Japanese blue and white porcelain is on view now through Dec. 16 at the Hartnell College Gallery.
The 50 pieces are a recent gift to the gallery's permanent collection by Al Schoepf and Earl Seymour, emeritus Hartnell faculty members. Most of the items are serving pieces such as relish dishes, bowls and sake cups.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 5 to 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday.
Assembled over several decades, the collection contains examples of highly prized items that were found in galleries from San Francisco to Los Angeles, according to Gary Smith, gallery director. "This fine group of porcelain," says Smith, "joins other examples of traditional Japanese art at Hartnell, including netsuke (miniature carved toggles) from the Mrs. Leslie Fenton Collection and folk-art from the Robert Skiles Collection.
The collection of smooth white porcelain decorated with cobalt blue lines has a long and venerable history in Asia. High quality cobalt from the Near East first made its appearance in China during the Yuan Dynasty (1260-1368) and its popularity grew during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when patterns and techniques were further refined.
Attempts to duplicate the fine pure kaolin clay found in natural deposits in China spread through Asia and to Europe. One of the most vital of these offshoots took root in Japan when, in the 1600s, Korean artists working in Japan found deposits of kaolin clay and began production of porcelain decorated with cobalt at Arita, Nabeshima and Imari on Kyushu Island. The tradition is still alive and vigorous in many ceramic centers in Japan.
The new porcelain collection contains refined pieces that carefully emulate Chinese models - even coping the imperial reign marks of the most famous of the Ching Dynasty emperors. Others show the gradual assimilation of designs expressing more typical Japanese characteristics of strong compositions and bolder brushwork. Two small vessels made for export to Europe or North America reflect the taste and style of the Art Nouveau movement.
The gallery is located in the Visual Arts Building on West Alisal Street, close to the college's swimming pool. Parking is available on campus for $1 (four quarters).
For more information, contact Gary Smith at (831) 755-6791.

It doesn't get much better than this!!!!
This beautiful home could not have been any better. It had everything we needed & more. As we entered the front gate, it felt like we were walking into a storybook, a book of comfort & love. No doubt, these people love their home & it shows everywhere! We were there for 4 ni & 5 days and honestly, none of us wanted to leave. I would definitely recommend this home. We have wonderful memories from our stay. So Thank You Kim for everything, it was a very special time for us!
Attractive property
Julie is a gracious host and we enjoyed spending a few vacation days at the studio. The grounds are lush with vegetation making it a nice quiet get-away. The numerous sitting areas and pool were perfect. It is easy access for all the San Diego area sights and airport. The neighborhood is quiet, making it especially nice for reading during the day and sleeping with the windows open at night.

Three people were injured and a woman was killed after a drive-by shooting at 14th Street and Roeser in Phoenix Friday afternoon.
The victims were sitting out in plastic chairs in front of a home when a vehicle pulled up and someone fired multiple rounds from inside the vehicle. A fifth person, a 19-year-old male, was also outside at the time but was not hit.
At least 20 bullet shell casings were found around the sidewalk in front of the house.
Four males were seen leaving the scene in a dark green 2000 to 2006 Ford Expedition and have not yet been apprehended.
Two women, ages 51 and 45, were hospitalized with critical injuries. 51-year-old Sandra Johnson later died at the hospital. The other female victim remains in critical condition.
A 58-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Allen Johnson, Sandra's brother, says his sister didn't even live at the home and was just visiting -- so it's unclear if she was one of the intended targets.
"My sister was just in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Johnson. "She has no enemies."
A motive for the shooting is not yet known and there's no information on the relationship of the victims.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos said authorities were investigating a possible gang connection.
"These types of incidents historically are targeted but it's too early in the investigation to determine if that's the fact here," he said.
TIPLINE: 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO

Hi All
Im thinking opening a studio in manchester. Ideally with another photographer but i can also do it myself. I have read quiet alot of topic about the subject on this website and have seen very good feedback ( positive or negative ). Yes its sound mad opening a new studio at moment( current economic climate) however i still think that there are so many opportunities. One example is football posters for kids.( i ve got example on my website ) when i was a kid i had 3 posters on the wall in my bedroom. Ryan Giggs, Hakan Sukur, Tugay Kerimoglu( as im turkish) i used to think one day i will play for united and i will have my own poster. Im sure you have seen nike or adidas football ads. Im thinking of doing a commercialized poster for kids to put up on there wall, which i think they will love it and give them some inspiration. Of course its not just that. Make over and family portraits as well. Im not the best at what i do but i will try so hard to get what i want. I have found a massive office space (3,195 sq ft)in city centre opposite the arndale ( very high footfall) £30000 rent+ rate+ service charge+ insurance per annum.so what do you think?
Was there a comment a few weeks ago about a similiar Kids picture setup printing images for £10 inside a shopping centre.
So that's 3000 customers a year to pay for the rent, if you can work 300 days a year then you only need 10 customers a day to pay for that rent.
I guess you want a similiar Salary and will need a staff member (60K more or 20 more customers a day).
and i guess equipment over 3 years and rates will be another 10 customers.
So what's going to bring in 40+ customers (say 5 per hour) every day of every week for you to make a profit?
Is there 12,000 customers in your area each year - assuming no repeat customers?
Just my tupence worth based on the £10 kids photo prospect.
High jack thanks for the feedback. 1. I wont be setting up mini studio in a shopping mall, the place that i have found is right opposite the very busy shopping centre in manchester. 2. I own every equipment that i will need so no equipt. cost. And no way i will charge £10 way more than that.
Living and working in Greater Manchester photography is not a high priority for most people.
Unless you have an existing customer base that you can start with I would be cautious, from the figures you've quoted, business rates if memory serves is a percentage of the rent, plus a service charge plus all the liability insurance and so on + phones, electric, heating and so on I can easily see 50K pa, on top of that the Arndale is known as the cheap and cheerful shopping centre, it has a cruder tittle, so doesn't attract big spenders.
I'm not saying don't do it, but do a lot more research in terms of marketing and running costs, advertising and all the other boring but vital tasks in running a business.
Good luck
Quote: but £350 for a wedding more than a liitle inexpensive
At that price the punters will be piled higher than a football stadium, You should be very busy in these hard times.....!!!
You need more than a few dreams and cut price weddings, As stated above " Business & Marketing " is where its all at, Anyone can squirt a few images off....
But you need to sell them.....
Good luck whatever you get up to......
Go for it if you truly believe you can make it work....
Simple as that really
Quote: 1. I wont be setting up mini studio in a shopping mall, the place that i have found is right opposite the very busy shopping centre in manchester. 2. I own every equipment that i will need so no equipt. cost. And no way i will charge £10 way more than that.
From what JackAllTog said you might not be setting up in a shopping centre and you might be charging much more than £10 - but, your competitor is in the shopping centre and is charging £10.
But I also agree with Ade. If you really think you can make it work then go for it. You definitely won't make it happen if you don't take that first step.
From what i see here you either need to explain more about your plan or you are going into this ill prepared. No matter how much spirit you have business is business and the sums need to add up, you can pay bills without money. It's the simple facts of life, hard as they maybe. It sounds like a big venture to start of with if this is a first time business in this area. Why not start now form home and grow from there, if it takes of you go in bigtime but to risk all right from the start sounds reckless without more and better thought out plans.
There seems to be an assumption here (and on other threads) that in order to survive, you must be able to compete with the Pixi-Foto's of the world and others of that ilk. I would say you need to match your offering to a specific market and, yes, if your target market is £10 a pop, pile 'em high, then volume is the only way to do it. Similarly, if you're in the £250 for everything on a CD market, you still need to do a lot of work to deliver on your promises. That said, while the news keeps telling us about the 3 million unemployed, they never mention the 27 million still in work! I had a conversation with a client this morning who is one of the 27 million and their portrait order will come to about £2.5k. Pixi-Foto will need 250 people through the door to match that and whether they do or don't get those numbers, I don't care because I'm not in their market.
As Ade says,
Quote: Go for it if you truly believe you can make it work....
Quote: Pixi-Foto will need 250 people through the door to match that and whether they do or don't get those numbers, I don't care because I'm not in their market.
It may well be double that to get the same nett profit. That is one of the advantages of going to the premium end of the market.
Without being noisy; can I ask how many of those orders do you get a year? If you don't want to say that's fine as it's not really any of my business.
I have only had a studio for a short while and am not yet in full swing, particularly with marketing (and that being the most important aspect!) However, most of the last few orders have all been in excess of £1000. The sub £1k tend to be round the £7-800 mark. I would add that there is no hard sell or coercion involved and no one has yet said, 'How much????!!!' in that way!

South Florida entrepreneurs, show us what you've got!
As we launch our 16th annual Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge today, we are putting out our annual call for entries. Don't let the name of the contest scare you: We aren't looking for long, laboriously detailed business plans. Quite the contrary.
More and more, today's investors in very early stage companies want to see a succinct presentation of your concept and how you plan to turn it into a success. We do, too.
If you have a business idea or an operating startup that is less than two years old, enter the Challenge, our annual celebration of South Florida entrepreneurship. Sponsored by the Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center at Florida International University, our contest has three tracks — a Community Track, open to all South Floridians; an FIU Track, open to students and alumni of that university; and a High School Track, co-sponsored by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship.
Your entry may be up to three pages, and you may attach one additional page for a photo, rendering, diagram or spreadsheet if you wish. Think of it as a meaty executive summary. Experts in all aspects of entrepreneurship — serial entrepreneurs, executives, investors, advisors and finance specialists (see judge bios on MiamiHerald.com/challenge) — will judge your short plan. In doing so, they will be looking at your product or service's value to the customer, market opportunity, business model, management team and your marketing and financial strategies. See the contest rules on Miamiherald.com/challenge, which also include tips on preparing your entry.
Your entry is due by 11:59 p.m. April 5. Entries should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com or email@example.com.
"The stand-out business plan entries typically have three elements: They define the problem their business is solving, clearly explain the solution, and provide tangible details as to why they have the ability to make the business a success," says Melissa Krinzman, managing director of Venture Architects and a veteran Challenge judge.
In March, we'll host a free Business Plan Bootcamp, where you can bring your working plan with you for advice from experts, including Krinzman. We'll post details soon on MiamiHerald.com/challenge.
And in Business Monday and on MiamiHerald.com/challenge, we'll be bringing you advice and answering your questions. You can email your questions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow @ndahlberg on Twitter.
The top six finalists in the Community and FIU Tracks will present their 90-second elevator pitches for our popular video contest. (See last year's videos on MiamiHerald.com/challenge.)
For the FIU track this year for the first time, we will require the top six to give short presentations to the judges. The results will be considered in the final rankings, and it will be an opportunity for one-on-one feedback from the judges.
On May 19, in a special section of Business Monday, we will profile the 11 winners — the judge's top three selections in each track plus the People's Pick winners. Along the way, we will unveil semifinalists and finalists to keep the suspense building.
Today, though, we are looking back on the entrepreneurial journeys of our 2013 winners. Some of the winners are growing fast and pulling in revenues, although funding was a nearly universal challenge and many faced setbacks in developing their platforms. Throughout the entry period, we'll also look back on other winners from the past 15 years.
So make sure you enter by April 5. May the best plans win. Good luck!
