The Behavior Based Business Model
Is your business defined by your buggy whip? Or how you go about solving the propulsion problem?
In "the Enterprise," procuring people to perform known chunks of work remains a woefully early 20th Century activity.
For example: First, define the product that is made and the tools used to build it (e.g., airplane fuselage and rivet gun).
Next, enter into a relationship (e.g., employee, contractor, etc.) to bind people to using a certain tool, at a certain location, for a certain purpose for a certain duration on a certain timetable (e.g., sheet metal worker at Boeing assembly plant, second shift for a five-year term).
For very big projects, the contract can go on for years.
But what happens when the tools change very quickly?
Or the technology?
What happens when the procurement cycle is longer than the complete lifecycle of a technology?
Imagine being staffed to a "MySpace" media contract in 2006 for a 5-year term. Expect to get de-staffed after two years.
Imagine a 99-year lease on a coal-fired power plant today. Environmentalists probably will intervene before that lease is up.
Do we keep old contracts and ignore that they deal with nonexistent roles, products or technologies?
Can procurement be parsed in a meaningful way to keep it more flexible?
Is there a useful way to make the procurement process itself go faster?
Can we get vague about terms and be comfortable with that? Trade "MySpace" for "social media services." Or specify "energy production" and hope for the best on that 99-year lease on the coal power plant?
Can the procurement cycle be more nimble so that what we intend to buy, and the means to procure those products and services, don't take up a majority of the overhead to actually perform the work?
If we continue to push the old way of doing business, it will become harder and harder (read: expensive) to find willing contractors to perform those roles.
Government IT contracts especially suffer this fate. It wouldn't take much digging to find still-valid contracts requiring knowledge of FrontPage extensions, even though that's ten-year old, obsolete tech.
In the same breath: How does an organization plan for unknown events?
It's ironic that the professional discipline of contracting for technology lags behind contracting for other, less cutting-edge disciplines.
Is it time for procurement reform? Any folks in the procurement or acquisition roles — feel free to chime in.

Facing Economic Eviction
Rent renegotiations are up for tenants in prime locations near Honolulu's airport and docks. Will high land values and a slowing economy displace long-time industrial tenants?
(page 3 of 3)
The tension between landowner and tenant grew after HRPT's second quarter earnings conference call. According to the transcript, HRPT reported declining rates from all its regions except for Hawaii. The company was working on securing rent rates in the $8 to $10 per square foot range as the market flattens out. Adam Portnoy, HRPT's managing trustee, tells an analyst, "So rest assured that we're doing everything we can, as much as we can and as fast as we can to try to increase the rates there to push cash flow to HRPT." Calling the statement "arrogant," CFV responded by holding a press conference for the local news media. In addition, CFV member Ameron Hawaii filed a lawsuit against Orville Properties, a subsidiary of HRPT, regarding rent increases.
HRPT, like any other landowner, understands it is easier to keep its current tenants than to find new ones. "As a public company, we do have a fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders," HRPT's Bonang says. "Part of that obligation in our case is treating tenants in a manner that wants them to remain tenants, but also allows us to attract new tenants if existing tenants decide to go someplace else."
Obviously, the businesses don't want to move out of the area because they have created long-term plans along with their long-term, 30- to 50-year leases. The finite land situation and low vacancy rate creates a low supply for high demand. Add to that the inherent cost of moving infrastructure, equipment, employees and customers, and relocating is not an economically viable option.
In the end, though, a contract is a contract, bound by law. "We agree with them and we move on with life, if you can afford it," says Collier's Scott Mitchell. "There may be economic evictions of people. There's no question. That may end up being the result of some of this. And at some juncture, someone will backfill that space."
Olelo needs to find an agreeable rent because moving is not an option. Olelo owns the building, and can't just relocate. The company installed infrastructure to directly connect with Oceanic Time Warner for six television channels. And it does community work with area schools Moanalua and Radford high schools and Aliamanu Middle School.
Rent renegotiations are ongoing. "The last two most recent revised proposals from HRPT have been much more favorable than the original proposal," Lopez says. "However, it is still very far from what Olelo, as a nonprofit community organization, can afford."

Modeling U.S. Inflation Dynamics: A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach
AbstractThis paper uses an infinite hidden Markov model (IHMM) to analyze U.S. inflation dynamics with a particular focus on the persistence of inflation. The IHMM is a Bayesian nonparametric approach to modeling structural breaks. It allows for an unknown number of breakpoints and is a flexible and attractive alternative to existing methods. We found a clear structural break during the recent financial crisis. Prior to that, inflation persistence was high and fairly constant.

New documents from the Texas Department of Public Safety show how Troopers responded during one of the most controversial protests of the Legislative session. It involves claims that Pro-Choice protesters tried to smuggle in human waste during the big abortion debate in the state Senate.
A spokesperson for DPS Tuesday said the agency still stands by the claim that protestors tried to bring human waste into the Senate chamber back in July. But according to the documents released by DPS no one took any of the items as evidence or took pictures of the offending items to back up the claim.
At the state Capitol Tuesday, warning signs were put up after a brief shower made the south steps a little slippery. A little more than a month ago, there were different signs up as the Capitol was packed with Pro-Choice supporters protesting new legislation to restrict abortions. The battle made national and international news. Murray Smith, who is from the U.K. and is currently in Austin on vacation, remembers the coverage. When compared to what else was going on at the time in the world, Murray doesn't consider the summer tussle in Texas as being very shocking.
"There is so much rioting in Europe just now over austerity cuts I think people understand people are getting frustrated and rioting and things like that," said Smith.
Back in July, under the Capitol dome emotions reached a boiling point and extra State Troopers and law enforcement officers were brought in to keep the situation contained. Initially Troopers were ridiculed for confiscating feminine hygiene products from people who were trying to get into the Senate. But when DPS issued a statement that Troopers also prevented human waste from also being smuggled in, there were those who thought the agency was lying.
In response to the criticism and to several open records request DPS provided nearly 150 pages of e-mails, news releases and social media postings in response to the criticism. Administrators at DPS were hoping to silence critics by producing hard photographic proof that security personnel prevented suspected human waste from getting into the Senate chamber during the July abortion debate.
About four images were included in the documents. There were pictures of a few bricks found in the Capitol extension, some paint, a bottle with unknown contents, as well as shots of what appears to be a planning session by protesters. But the pictures are not the smoking gun, DPS Director Steve McCraw was looking for.
In an earlier memo McCraw wrote, "I'm tired of reading that we made this stuff up. Let's get the photos we have to members (of the Legislature) and the media. Does anyone realistically believe we would fabricate evidence to support a political agenda? Amazing."
In response to Director McCraw's request it was explained. At the time, the focus was on crowd control. No official photos were taken because the questionable items were not seized or confiscated. They only had to be trashed in order to get into the Senate gallery. But not all of the protest props went to waste- some of the feminine hygiene products were used during a gathering in the capitol rotunda.
The documents also provide insight into how social media tipped off DPS. Security analysts at the fusion center were following tweets that encouraged throwing blood and paint on lawmakers as well as suggestions of people taking their clothes off during the debate.

Patsy Cline's house opens to public
Want to go?• The Patsy Cline Historic House is at 608 S. Kent St. in Winchester. It's open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday through Oct. 31
Source: CelebratingPatsyCline.org
By Candace Sipos -- firstname.lastname@example.com
WINCHESTER -- One small white and black home on South Kent Street saw quite a bit of foot traffic Tuesday.
It was the opening of the Patsy Cline Historic House, where the country singer lived from 1948 to 1953, according to Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc., the nonprofit organization behind the event. She lived there longer than she lived at any other home in the Winchester or Nashville areas, the organization's website says.
Moer than 100 guests walked through the same building that Cline used to call home, according to Judy Sue Huyett-Kempf, the house's executive director.
"It would make Patsy proud," Huyett-Kempf said. "I bet she's just a-grinning all the way."
Visitors could walk on the same ground where Cline tread years ago, hear stories about her life there during a guided tour and get a book signed by biographer Douglas Gomery, who was donating proceeds to CPC. Guests were walking around a home that looked very much like it did during Cline's stay, complete with replicas of furniture and decorations from that time period. But most of the original pieces remained in a climate-controlled storage unit. CPC acquired over 100 such items, including costumes, documents, a sewing machine and a porch glider, and the organization may open a museum for them one day.
There were a few original pieces available, however. A table, chair and lamp in the living room used to be Cline's. A colorful quilt hanging on her twin-sized bed upstairs was made by her mother, Hilda. A coat hanging in her closet was worn by Jessica Lange in the movie "Sweet Dreams."
CPC has been financially preparing for Tuesday for almost two years, but the organization bought the home six years ago. It served as a rental property until CPC raised the $100,000 needed to renovate the house.
"Everything about the house had to have work done to it," said Shelda Longerbeam, chairwoman of the fundraising committee for this project.
In addition to installing central heating and air conditioning, CPC hired KEE Construction to work on the walls, floors, windows and more. In order to pay for the complete overhaul, a team of six volunteers sent out letters about the home in hopes of securing the necessary funds. They also sold more than 200 bricks that were used during the construction. People could have messages engraved on them, with one line costing $100 and two lines costing $150. The bricks will continue to be sold to buy a pavilion for visitors who are waiting to get into the house, Longerbeam said.
"We had some great people who were willing to contribute to the home," Longerbeam said. "People in the community were very generous."
CPC members were happy with the outcome, and so were visitors who dropped by.
"It's just beautiful to see that it's back looking like it did then, when she was here," guest Kelly Presgraves said. "It's just a really neat thing, brings back a lot of memories."
Presgraves used to play with Cline's children when she was growing up, as her grandmother's house was right down the street from Cline's mother's home.
Mark Mills, who has always loved Cline's music, brought his daughter and niece to the event.
"I thought it was very nice," he said. "They kind of brought you back in time."

November 2010 was the first time I published my first post on this blog. Looking back now it was pretty cheesy and the post even contained a cheesy logo that I threw together in paint. Since then this blog has come a long way. 3,360 comments and 455 posts later, I can honestly say that it's been a superb ride – one that I'm still enjoying. During this same time, I've had the opportunity to interact with some pretty amazing, creative and dedicated people who've supported me through the good and the bad through this blog. Even though at the very best I consider myself a mediocre writer, one that has written some decent posts that have gotten some pretty fantastic features due to your promotion, feedback and opinions. For that I sincerely and deeply thank you! You're all unique in your own way and a pretty smart, witty and most importantly amazing group of people. So, thank you for being part of my life.
In commemoration of celebrating two successful years of blogging, I wanted to share with you some fun facts about this blog, and what the future holds going forward. I suppose you can say that I'm letting you into the behind the scenes stuff that I generally only share with a very select circle.
Year in Review
Number of Posts
In my first year of blogging, I manged to pump out 220 posts. That works out to roughly to 0.6 posts per day or 1.2 posts every second day. Over the past year (November-November) I manged to pump out 235 posts – a welcome 6.4% increase over the previous year. Blogging is anything but easy, however it's enjoyable. Quite enjoyable actually! I strive to post every other day and on average I've been posting 4 posts per week. Some weeks have had more posts than others, but on average it's been around four.
On average each post has received roughly 12 comments. This is a very rough number, as some posts have had over 100 comments and others less than 10 comments. In either case, you're the judge, so it's you who chooses to comment or promote the post. The highest commented posts were as follows:
Money will change you – 101 Comments
How do you become rich? – 66 Comments
The cold hard truth on being a personal finance blogger - 53 Comments
You are not a writer unless… - 36 Comments
Everything is better in the suburbs – 34 Comments
Who's Yo Daddy – 34 Comments
Traffic & Visitors
In the past year, this blog has experienced significant growth – both financially and in terms of visitors. In it's first year of existence, this blog managed to gain 24,962 visitors. In the last year, again from November 2011 to November 2012, the visitor amount spiked to 114,713 or 4.6 times greater than the same period last year or an increase of 78.2% increase. Here are a few more numbers from this past year:

Media Mentions
Over the course of last year this blog or myself have been mentioned seven times throughout some major media outlets – online and offline. Compared to the previous year, we nearly doubled our media mentions. Even though there's a month remaining this year, here are the media mentions of 2012.
- House of rising insurance premium – Globe & Mail
- This is what everyone is too afraid to say about rich people – Business Insider
- Best money tips – Wise Bread
- If you've got it, don't flaunt it – Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
- You can ease debt load with a plan – Toronto Star (Print Only)
- Bloggers offer their best financial tips - Money Sense
- What are your best financial tips – Ellen Roseman (Toronto Star Columnist and Blogger)
I'm never the one to talk about my monthly income – just not my style. I'm a pretty private person, and those who do share the numbers…well kudos to you! One thing to always remember is that no two equal results will have the same paths. Meaning how much income one generated through their blog is difficult to emulate due to too many uncontrollable variables. Finally, when I started blogging two years ago, a wise man said to me: "Only talk in percentages….you don't owe anything else to anyone." So, keeping that in mind, here are two things I'm willing to share.
- My blogging income spiked 67% from previous year.
- The income has now four zero's at the end instead of three.
Yes it's vague, but better than nothing :)
Looking Towards the Future
Going forward the future looks bright for Finance Fox. Aside from looking to build onto a successful second year, I will continue to deliver the same opinionated juicy posts that were delivered over the past two years. Furthermore I plan to stay in the tune of 4-5 posts per week or one post every other day. The long term goal is to bring on a few staff writers – an idea that I've been toying around with for a while now. This same idea was tested in the background with a "ghost writer" for a period of roughly 2.5 months – which recently ended in November. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but for a period of time a ghost writer wrote for this blog once a week. I bet you didn't know that! :)
Another aspect I'm excited about is the redesign of Finance Fox. This has been a long, grueling and sometimes difficult journey, but never the less the newly redesigned version of Finance Fox should go live sometime in January – at least that's the goal. During the redesign, one of the things that's yet to be implemented in all this time was a Facebook page. This will come alongside the new design and also be launched in January 2013.So, I'll be certain to hit all of you up for some likes.
Finally, in two very short years I've managed to start three different blogs. Finance Fox continues to be my primary focus, alongside another niche blog, and my third idea will hopefully be the grandest of them all. I'm not going to share much now as it's still in the development stages, but let's just say that it's more of a lifestyle blog catering to a specific niche that was started with a close friend. Our goal is to turn this blog into a full fledged news source and directory that will be available online and in print in the Toronto area.

Not a fan of Carnie, besides Dean had a much harder road to travel in the competition. Dean was the one I wanted to win and deserves the won.
It's hard to pick who I would want to win, but I really like Dean!!! Both are very good and have great charities though!

Before & After: Foil Finish Chest
Red Hen Home
Korrie has a passion for furniture, a passion she happily shares with her friends and community of blog readers. Though she usually find pieces to refinish herself, sometimes she benefits from what she herself calls their shared furniture addiction. This chest started out as a friend's project, one that she passed along to Korrie when she found herself overwhelmed.
Though Korrie's friend intended to rescue this chest from a bad paint job, Korrie didn't really want to deal with the hassle of peeling paint and sticky glue residue. Instead, she decided to refinish this piece with a common kitchen staple — regular aluminum foil. Korrie covered the chest with wallpaper paste and squares of aluminum foil to create a faux silver-leaf finish. After the chest dried completely, she sponged off any excess paste and then used a small amount of black acrylic paint to glaze the surface.

I like!
Beautiful job. Goodness, I'm so envious of those who can pull off such renovations themselves.
Looks great. I think it suits the style of the piece really well.
Interesting. My personal opinion though would have been to use it as an accent, maybe on the front face of the drawers, inside the molding. I'd worry about how it wears.
Looks gorgeous. Turned into a very fun piece.
Surely refinishing the original wood would not have been a more difficult project than covering the entire thing with tin foil? I think refinishing it would have shown off the interesting shape and craftsmanship of this piece much better. IMO
Judging from the original website's photos, it seems completely misleading to say "she decided to refinish this piece with a common kitchen staple — regular aluminum foil." The product she is shown applying comes in a little tub, not a two-foot-wide roll, and it appears to be far closer to gold leaf than to Reynolds wrap.
Too much. Don't think it looks good. Maybe in a room setting it blends in better.
I'm really struggling to imagine what room this would work in. So far I've only come up with a room with totally black walls and nothing else in it.
The tub she is using is the wallpaper paste. On the website, she has a link to the first project she did with this method, and she says she cut the foil into squares with scissors. It shows Reynolds wrap as what she used.
I think it could go beautifully in any room that had metallic accents, either silver or mixed; it has a wonderful "Hollywood Regency" look that could go in any room decorated in that style; the traditional lines would help it fit in a more sedate room while the shiny would help provide a note of unexpected whimsy and character, etc. Honestly, it would go great in my bedroom, but don't worry, Korrie, I won't steal it!
It would be easier to judge if it weren't photographed sitting on grass.
I would add a little more than a thin acrylic layer over it, i'd imagine the foil to be hella easy to damage and peel off...
I would LOOOOOVE to find a piece like this!!! I love, love, love this shape. I would add some furniture legs to lift it up a little bit more. I think a piece like this would fit into a lot of different spaces. I'm SO jealous! I would paint it black with a matte finish and a nice off center stencil in a gloss finish (also black), then I would put a mirror above it and use it as a side table with a plant on it and maybe some tall candle sticks... I think using matte and gloss in the same color would add interesting detail and really play up the shape.
Thanks for the comment clarifying about the tub of paste. I had done some metal-leaf work where I used very thin copper squares about the size of that tub. (And the kit came with primer and coating that ensured bonding and nick resistance.) It's hard to see how regular aluminum foil would be able to settle satisfactorily into the crannies of the woodwork here. Still seems like a less than ideal choice.
I think it would've looked better with different knobs.
Nope. Not a fan. So many other options that would look better I think.
Oh no
It still looks like a before ......It's horrible.
I like it!

When buying a vehicle from an auto dealer, there are many options available to the consumer. Here we will provide information on how the sales tax applies to the different transactions that may occur.
A lease is any transfer of the possession or control of tangible personal property for a fixed or indefinite term, for consideration. Leases include future options to purchase or extend, and agreements where the amount of consideration may be increased or decreased by reference to the amount realized upon the sale or disposition of the property.
The link below will take you to a memo drafted by the Ohio Department of Taxation explaining how leases of motor vehicles are taxed.
Leasing Memo
Sales made in Ohio to a non-resident of Ohio that will be immediately removed from this state are generally exempt from Ohio sales tax. Sales of motor vehicles that will be immediately removed to Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, and South Carolina are the only sales that are the exception to this rule. Please see the Information Release for details.
The below chart can be used for a quick guide on how to calculate sales tax for these states:
Sales Tax Rate
Trade-In Allowance
Special Provisions
Yes –New and Used
Yes- New and Used
Yes-New and Used
Nonresident exemption for RVs and trailers with a load capacity of at least 2200 pounds
South Carolina
Tax cap of $300.00
The Ohio Department of Taxation has compiled a list of frequently asked questions covering many different categories.
To view the questions, click on the "Select Category" bar and then click on the category you are interested in. A list of questions will appear pertaining to that category. Then click on the question you are inquiring about and the answer will appear.
Can a used motor vehicle dealer purchase a new motor vehicle under the "resale" exception?
Under Ohio tax law, any person making retail sales may acquire items (including motor vehicles) excepted from sales or use tax based on the "resale" exception. However, the motor vehicle law does not allow a used motor vehicle dealer to acquire a new motor vehicle for purposes of resale.
If a used motor vehicle dealer purchases a new motor vehicle, pays Ohio sales and use tax when the Ohio title is obtained, and subsequently sells the vehicle with few, if any, additional miles, the Department will consider an application for refund of the taxes paid by the dealer.
If the used motor vehicle dealer traded in a used vehicle on the new motor vehicle, tax is due on the price of the new vehicle, less the trade-in allowance.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville woman was robbed Sunday after giving a ride to someone she had just met at a plasma donation center.
According to police, Eric Taylor and the female victim sat next to each other while donating plasma at CSL Plasma Center in Louisville Sunday afternoon when the woman offered Taylor a ride home.

The two suspects then got into another car and drove away. Police are still working to identify the second suspect.
No one was injured.
Eric Taylor is charged with robbery, Police say he admitted to the crime.

This is one of those stories that'll make you give the stink eye to your computer and mouth WTF to your cat. A man named D.J. Douglas and his friend Chris Reaves, both of Plano, Texas, went to a local mall and started dropping cash on groups of kids as they passed below. Sounds harmless enough, if not kind of awesome, right? Wrong. Douglas is an accused child molester free on bond -- he was arrested last month on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy and exposing himself to a 17-year-old boy.
Did I mentioned they videotaped themselves "making it rain" for the kids, then posted the footage to YouTube? Because that happened, too.
But wait, there's more.
Both Douglas and Reaves run a foundation to help troubled kids. When the local news caught up with Douglas and asked him about this video he uploaded, he called it "harmless" and shared:
Well, I don't know kind of how that pertains to our case or our situation. That was just kind of Chris throwing money out to some people.
Hmm. OK. Let me ask you a question. If you've been accused of child molestation and are awaiting trial, would YOU think it's a good idea to go to the mall and throw money at children? Would YOU think it's a good idea to then post that video to YouTube?
Douglas says his money-throwing didn't violate any part of his bail and that he didn't have any more contact with the kids, BUT STILL. If you're innocent (which everyone is until proven guilty), why put yourself out there like this? Why draw attention to yourself interacting with kids by giving them money? Why, then, share it on a public website?
Lest you were wondering what the latest was with Douglas' partner Reaves, he posted an invitation to Facebook announcing a party he's throwing for his new non-profit, saying "party at my [expletive] crib hmu if you wanna come beer pong...weed...goodtimes."
When reporters asked him what he meant by that, Reaves explained that the invitation was intended to attract teens over to his place so they could be counselled against drug and alcohol use.
It sounds like I'm making this up, but I'm not.
Assuming, as I shall, that Douglas and Reaves are blameless, they have been making some very poor decisions. I'd think most people accused of child molestation who are, in fact, innocent would hide in their house, as far away from kids as physically possible, but I guess these guys feel differently. Very differently.
What do you think?
Photo via crowerp/YouTube
Definitely a stupid decision on his part even if he is innocent. What I don't understand is why someone who may even remotely be a threat to children is allowed out on bail.
I'm not as concerned with the money as I am them being allowed to "run a foundationto help troubled kids." And the Facebook posts sound like child luring to me. How is that not a violation of parole ?
he was accused, how many men are accused and nothing comes of it or they even get convicted and then the girls come back and say it was not real and they made it up.. it makes men look really bad. it happened to my father...
i think it is sick. i am surprised he is not prohibited from having contact with children. as for his not seeing the problem, would anyone really expect him too? if he has molested children and does not feel remorse, and I am making an assumption here, then he problemly will not make the moral connection.

Taking online, offline: Escape studios meets the Twitterers
Over the last few months we've spent a lot of time meeting various people from the CG world on Twitter, and have been discussing everything from the latest Autodesk upgrades or Softimage updates, to Nick's doodles and even elephant clocks (this conversation really did happen). After all of this interaction, we thought it was about time that we got to meet some of you face to face, so on Friday we invited three of the more vocal Twitterers to a beer and CG evening at Escape Studios.
Announcing The Winners of the CG Whiz Competition...
Congratulations to all the finalists of our CG Whiz competition. We had a great time at the Reveal Event last night, meeting the future stars of the CG industry. As we've said before, we were overwhelmed by the sheer number and quality of the entries we've received.
Survey - State of the CG industry
You might have read a couple of weeks ago about the winners of a prize draw we held for those who completed our survey. We wanted to see what people in and around the CG industry thought about their jobs and the world in which they work. We had a fantastic response, with over 2,800 professionals, hobbyists and students answering questions for us, and the results make for interesting reading.
New feature - Nick's Doodles
Here at Escape Studios, we pride ourselves on our close links with the industry. One of the ways we maintain these links is by having tutors who have done the jobs they teach. This means that our tutors are some of the best CGers in the business, and they're an incredibly creative bunch.
Announcing...the CG Whiz shortlist!
It's the moment you've all been waiting for... Escape Studios and The Mill are delighted to announce the shortlist of our CG Whiz competition. We're astounded by both the level of interest and the standard of entries: we've had 136 entries, whilst the videos have received over 8,300 views! The shortlist (in no particular order) is:
20 animated submissions for upcoming Oscars
Not sure how many of you have been following this story, but a whopping 20 feature films have been submitted for the Animated Feature film category for the upcoming Oscars. This is great news for the industry as it means we're well on track to getting five nominees qualifying for the category at the awards next February (we normally only have 3!).
CG Whiz shortlist to follow
So the CG Whiz competition has finally come to an end. We've been blown away by the number of entries we've received and the quality of the submissions.
The Tate Movie Project – Tate teaming up with Aardman Animations
Now this is what we like to see – children getting involved in animation from a young age. This week we heard that Tate is teaming up with Aardman Animations, the team behind Wallace and Gromit, to create a new film. And, they want children to help them brainstorm. Check out the video on our YouTube channel.
Old-school animation: Fantastic Mr Fox
Towelling for grass, cotton balls for smoke and cling film for water – Wes Anderson has reverted to traditional forms of animation in his new film Fantastic Mr Fox.
We've reached the halfway point
We're halfway through the competition and we've already had 49 entries – a great response, but we're still keen to see what everyone else is working on.
Keep those entries coming…
Our CG Whiz competition has got off to a fantastic start - we've already had an impressive 27 entries but there's still time to submit your best work.
Introducing Matt Long - Computer Arts Project Competition Winner
We're delighted to announce the winner of our competition with Computer Arts Project: Matt Long. We received many applications to this competition, and the overall quality of the entries was very high, but Matt impressed the judges with an original and well-executed character design. He wins a copy of Maya, access to the online Maya Core course, and a 6 weeks intensive Characters Course with us at Escape HQ in London.
Revamping of Escape Studios' website
I'm sure you've all seen that our website's undergone a bit of a makeover recently. We've added lots more news on our latest courses, free tutorials and information on events including the launch of our fantastic competition CG Whiz.

'No, I'm Staying'- Neymar to stay with Santos till 2014 World Cup in Brazil
11/4/12 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Neymar reiterated his transfer policy after new rumors linking him to a big-money move this summer surfaced this week. In a press release this week, the Brazilian football prodigy was adamant about staying with Brazil until 2014.
The 20-year-old Santos forward also acknowledged renewed interest from top notch clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. Manchester City have also named themselves as potential suitors for Neymar this weekend.
Neymar has been in phenomenal form for both club and country in the last couple of years. Football giants in Europe are willing to break their banks for the young Brazil international, but Neymar prefers to stay at his homeland until after the World Cup.
The 2014 World Cup, which is due to take place in Brazil, will end in the summers of 2014. If Neymar continues to record such high level performances then the youngster would have easily established himself as one of the brightest and biggest players in the football community.
Neymar may desire to stay at Santos till 2014, but big bids can change that. Moreover, the political situation at Santos is no longer healthy like it used to be.
Recent speculation about Neymar's possible exit has been fueled by rift between Santos and DIS agency, which owns 40% of Neymar's economic rights. The fall out between the Santos and DIS started out with Ganso's transfer to rival club Sao Paulo.
DIS considered this transfer move as an act of strengthening Neymar's competition. Therefore, they expressed their concern and publically distanced themselves from Santos.
Neymar believes that the feud between his club and agency will become a catalyst for his away move. Neymar declared that while DIS might own some of his rights and he is in contract with Santos, it is he who would decide about his future.
"DIS may still have some of my rights, as you know, but they don't have responsibility for my life," Neymar said. "Those who control my life are me and my dad.
"From the moment you hear from my mouth, or from my dad's mouth that I will leave, then you can start to believe it."
When Neymar was questioned about the interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City, the youngster clear said, "no, I'm staying".
"There are always rumors and I am always saying 'no, I'm staying'. Then, you guys always say I'm leaving. So, please, believe me for once," Neymar said.

Ron Paul Criticizes CIA, Brands Them as 'Every Bit as Secretive as the Federal Reserve'Submitted by THE BULL LION on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 21:22
The retiring Congressman Ron Paul has long made known his opposition to the federal reserve and the CIA. In a recent comment he pulled the two together titling a post on his website as "The CIA Is Every Bit as Secretive as the Federal Reserve."
Paul cited a Washington Post article posted Saturday that described how the Department of Defense's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was sending close to 1,600 spies overseas in the name of national security and thwarting emerging threats. Paul wrote on his website:
Thousands of new DIA spies are to be hired and placed undercover to help foment even more covert wars and coups in foreign lands. Where will it all end?

Ugh! The Blaze attributes
Ugh! The Blaze attributes that article to Dr. Paul, and it isn't by him at all. I've tried to sign into the Blaze to correct them, but can't find a sign in method that works for me.
They say he posted it all on his website, but the referenced link goes back to ronpaul.com, a grassroots site. *sigh* just another attempt to sensationalize Dr. Paul.

Ends On:
27 June 2014
Trieste - Italy
LB (Main Lecture Hall)
G. Villadoro, M. Redi, P. Graham, S. Rajendran. ICTP Local Organizer: G. Villadoro
Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN)
The goal of the workshop is to gather experts to discuss new ideas and prospects for the exploration of physics beyond the standard model. The meeting will cover different approaches to the quest for new physics, from the energy frontier to precision physics and low energy probes.

Remember my pet caterpillar Shane? Found him at church during a sermon about Satan XD. He was such a fun pet in his larval stage. He used to love to swing from my hair.
Then everything changed when he pupated. He never touched me. He just spent several months looking and acting like a turd
But it was worth it! Look at him now! He's so fluffy I'm gonna die!! And the friendly disposition has returned! He sits on my shoulder watching The Sing Off with me. Also, he's a she! and she just laid eggs! I can't wait for the 2nd generation!

Support for drug addiction is necessary for an individual going through an addiction. Drug addiction is not only harmful to the individual himself, but also affects his or her family. Drugs are becoming a serious problem for not only one country, but all over the world. Recent surveys reveal that 8 out of 10 persons have tried drugs at least once in their lives. One can only imagine the impact of drugs on the whole world. The main thing that most people forget is support for drug addiction, especially in the family. If there is a drug addict in the family, it is very important to support him or her. Lack of support can make them even more violent or angry. There are some easy steps to do to show support. This may also help people understand the impact of support for drug addiction in the family.
- The family members should talk to the sufferer; ask the addict if he/she can quit or not. One should ask in a non-judgmental manner so the addict need not feel condemned and therefore lie. Ask if they want to change their lives or not. Ask if they want to be admitted in rehabilitation centers. If they are open to that, gently encourage and immediately act.
- Family members should take care of whatever needs the sufferer may have so he or she would feel comfortable leaving for an extended time. Promise to take care of family members, pets, or children. One should make sure to clear any obstacle from the path of joining the rehabilitation center. This shows great support for drug addiction.
- Family members are not the only important support-givers for the addict; friends can also lead suffering loved ones towards making their future drug-free. If one has the means, how about paying part of the rehab fees, or writing letters of encouragement to a friend in rehab? This is invaluable support for drug addiction.
- One should avoid arguing about the situation. This is useless. Family members should learn to talk to the addict lovingly and sensitively.
- One should not give any cash through which they can buy drugs. This includes any type of payment for electric bills or grocery items. One should just take care of the matter without handing any cash or check to the sufferer.
Family support plays a crucial role in making the life of drug abuser better. Families should understand the condition of the family member, and provide complete support. Support for drug addiction is key to the addict; family and friends should provide that first, and then the appropriate rehab centers.

(From Auto Remarketing) -- Keffer Hyundai in North Carolina is one of the top-selling certified pre-owned dealerships in the U.S. for the Korean automaker. While many elements have helped Keffer become a leading CPO dealer, one thing is for sure: employee training has been a major building block to the store's success in the certified segment.
"You have to have the personnel that know the program, for one, and know how to sell a certified pre-owned car versus a regular used car. So we do a lot of training with the guys so they know the program, they know the benefits and they can sell the benefits to the customers," said the store's vice president, co-owner and general manager.

(From The Sunday Times) -- Compliance training is tedious. Nobody wants to spend more time than they have to in a windowless room with a folder full of notes and a check list.
Organizations are increasingly turning to gamification, the use of the fun, engaging nature of games to encourage people to complete dull tasks, said Aaron Dignan, author of Game Frame, a guide to using games as a strategy for success, and chief executive of Undercurrent, a digital consultancy.

(From the Sun Sentinal) -- Unemployed Floridians who don't take free training to upgrade their skills could lose their benefits for any week they don't comply, in proposed legislation by Rep. Doug Holder, R-Sarasota.
The bill passed the Florida House's Business and Consumer Affairs Subcommittee this week and moves on to the Economic Affairs Committee. Holder was the sponsor of the state's unemployment compensation overhaul in the last legislative session.

(From The Wall Street Journal) -- Faced with a dearth of skilled labor, more companies are taking employee education into their own hands.Unemployment figures are high, but finding workers with the right skills for the job—especially for highly specialized roles such as power plant technicians or laboratory chemists—remains a big challenge, many firms say. In a survey from Lloyd's, the British insurance concern, U.S. executives considered lack of skilled workers one of the greatest risks their companies faced in 2012, second only to loss of customers.
So rather than wait for the perfect candidates to walk through the door, companies have decided to school their in-house staff or train new hires who may lack the exact skills they were looking for.Read more.

(From PR Newswire) -- The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, through an Air Force Research Laboratory contract, has awarded Raytheon BBN Technologies a $10.5 million multi-year contract under the Sirius program. The goal of the Sirius program is to develop serious games that result in better decision-making by teaching participants to recognize and mitigate the effects of their own biases when analyzing information used to make decisions.
The team -- which includes game designers, cognitive psychologists, and experts in intelligence analysis and in measuring game-player engagement -- will design a relevant and engaging game that is based on an international detective theme, blending best research and practices in bias-mitigation with best practices in game-based teaching.

(From CNN) -- The concepts of emotional intelligence (EI), self-worth, authenticity, and employee meditation rooms might conjure up thoughts of new-age healing centers. But the benefits of tapping employees' emotional happiness mean the ideas are now being picked up by mainstream corporations.
Brochner Hotels, one of Copenhagen's oldest and most successful boutique hotel chains, is one business discovering the benefits of EI. Karim Nielsen, the chain's CEO, says he introduced the strategy to shift the company's culture. Nielsen points to a reluctance, at times, of staff members to engage with customers, to sell its products and promote the brand. "The front desk is like a stop sign they don't go beyond," he says.
Now, Nielsen is sending all hotel employees through EI training to help them become more open and confident, understand their own limitations and fears, and to boost their self-worth and comfort in dealing with other people.

(From Business Wire) -- Training grants from the U.S. Department of Labor are creating new opportunities for American workers to build skills, attain professional credentials, and fill job openings in a job market that is calling for greater specialization.
In early October, the Department of Labor announced $159 million in H-1B Technical Skills Training grants to 36 job training and placement programs throughout the country. The program aims to increase access to training and certification for Americans in occupations where specialized skills are needed and demand is highest.

A new study reveals the career-related differences among the four generations of workers in today's workplace: Matures (born in 1945 or earlier), Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), Generation Xers (born between 1965 and 1979), and Millennials (born in 1980 or later). More than 3,000 Canadians were surveyed to determine if there were significant inter-generational differences in their work priorities, career attitudes, career experiences, and career outcomes.Among the findings, data provide evidence of generational differences in terms of work priorities. The youngest generation, the Millennials, placed more importance on work characteristics that lead to self-improvement, as well as social aspects of the workplace. In contrast, the values of Generation X employees emphasized the need to find a balance between work and personal facets of life. Both Boomers and Matures were concerned with staying relevant in an ever-changing work environment. However, these oldest two generations differed in that Boomers remained focused on advancement and achievement while Matures were striving to leave a lasting impression in their organizations.Read more.

The Legend of Maria Makiling
Muling ikinuwento ni Abbie Mendoza
A Brief Introduction to Filipino Folklore and Mythology (May 2011)
Si Maria Makiling ay isang diwata na nakatira sa bundok ng Makiling.
Maria Makiling is a fairy that lives in the mountain of Makiling
Pinangalanan ng mga tao na nakatira sa ibaba ng bundok ang lugar na iyon na Bundok ni Maria Makiling.
The people who live at the base of the mountain named that place the Mountain of Maria Makiling.
Sa paligid ng kanyang bundok ay may mga malinis na tubigan, laot na maraming isda at mga punong kahoy na sagana sa matatamis na prutas. Itong lahat ay ibinibigay niya sa mga tao. Ang pagtulong niya sa maraming tao ay laganap sa lahat ng lalawigan, malapit man o malayo.
Maria is a beautiful young fairy. She is kind and helpful to the people. In the surroundings of her mountain, there are clean waters and a sea with many fish and an abundance of sweet fruits. She gave all these to the people. Her help to the many people is well-known whether near or far.
Isang araw may isang makisig na mangangaso na nakarating sa kanyang kaharian. Nakita niya ang kagandahan ni Maria Makiling at bigla siyang namangha sa dilag at natutuhan niya itong mahalin. Sinuklian din siya ng pagmamahal ni Maria.
One day, there was a handsome hunter who arrived in her realm. He saw the beauty of Maria Makiling and was suddenly amazed at the fairy and learned to love her. Maria also returned his affections.
Araw-araw nagtatagpo sila at laging nag-uusap. Nangako sila sa isat-isa na mamahalin nila ang isa't isa habang-buhay.
Every day, they meet each other and talk. They promised each other that they will love one another for the rest of their lives.
Isang araw habang naghihintay si Maria sa kanya, hindi dumating ang kanyang irog. Napuna ni Maria na may iba na siyang minamahal at siya ay nagpakasal. na. Nalungkot si Maria at nasaktan. Napag-isip-isip niya na hindi mapagkakatiwalaan ang mga tao sa paligid niya at ginagamit lang siya para mabigyan sila ng kanilang ikabubuhay.
One day, while Maria was waiting for him, her beloved did not arrive. Maria noticed that he had another lover and got married. Maria felt dejected and hurt. She thought that people around her were not trustworthy and only used her as a means of their livelihood.
Sa galit niya ihininto niya ang pagbibigay ng mga prutas, isda, at mga pagkain. Wala nang mga hayop at ibon sa paligid ng Makiling. Wala nang mga isda sa laot. Nagtampo si Maria.
In her anger she stopped providing fruits, fish, and food. There were no more animals and birds in the surroundings of Makiling. There were no more fish in the sea. Maria sulked.
Hindi na siya nakita ng mga tao maliban sa panahon na maliwanag lang ang buwan
People never saw her again except when the moon was bright.
My mom, who is 59 years old, told me the legend of Maria Makiling, which she heard about as a child in school in the Philippines. However, we also consulted the website in the following link, http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/6/20/21542/7380, on May 22, 2011, because my mom wanted to provide me with a more detailed story than the one that she could remember. She helped me translate this legend and told me that Mount Makiling is a mountain near Tagaytay in Los Baños, which we visited when I was younger. The lake surrounding Tagaytay is the Taal Lake, in between that lake is the Taal Volcano, the smallest volcano in the world, and behind that is the Mountain of Makiling.
Ang Aking Mga Natutunan:
1) case (ang, ng, sa, para sa): I learned that the genitive case, "ng," is used to mean "for," "at," "of," or "by." In cases where I want to convey "in the manner of," "when," and "so that," I should use "nang." For example, in the sentence, "There are no more animals and birds…," I initially wrote, "Wala ng mga hayop at ibon…" when I should have used "nang," because I was communicating the manner – specifically the absence – of the animals.
2) verb focus: I learned that when I have an Actor Focus sentence, I need to use "ng" (singular) or "ng mga" (plural) to indicate the direct object, or the what receives the action. For instance, the sentence, "Itong lahat ay ibinibigay niya sa mga tao," the direct object is "itong lahat," because it is being given by Maria Makiling. For this reason, I should have linked"ng" to "ito" to indicate that it is the subject of the verb, instead of forgetting to add the genitive case like I had in my earlier draft.
3) word order: I learned that the personal pronoun "siya" should be placed earlier in the sentence, "Maria also returned his affections," namely closer to verb. In my earlier draft, I had written, "Sinuklian din ng pagmamahal siya ni Maria," with "siya," being too far away from the action, "sinuklian." The sentence with the correct word order, then, should be, "Sinuklian din siya ng pagmamahal ni Maria."
4) adjective: I learned to be sensitive to the common usage of words in order to use the appropriate adjectives. For instance, in the sentence, "Her help to the many people is widespread whether near or far," I should have used "laganap" for "widespread" rather than "kalat." The latter is commonly used to describe a mess that spans a wide area, whereas the former is more suitable in this case.
5) morphology- how to form nouns: I learned that in order to transform a verb into an noun, I need to duplicate the first consonant/vowel (i.e., syllable) of the root word and then attach the prefix, "pag-" to the word. To make the verb, "bigay" (give) into the noun, "giving," for example, I need to duplicate the first syllable of the root word to create, "bibigay" and then attach the appropriate prefix, producing, "pagbibigay" (giving). As a result, I should have written, "…ihininto niya ang pagbibigay…" instead of "pagbigay."

Forgot what it was like to feel single.
Esquire Theme by Matthew Buchanan

Forgot what it was like to feel single.
When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a person.
And I still believe you are. You're just not there yet. But you will be eventually. I know you will.
This man is gonna get divorced because of VIne.
(Source: officialcomedy)
At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone.Walk away. It's not like you're giving up, and it's not like you shouldn't try. It's just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.
Obviously my favorite purchase from the renegade craft fair this weekend #arresteddevelopment #parksandrec

Win7 x64 HD Playback / HDMI out issues
My Specs are:
E8400, Core2Duo, 3.0Ghz
4gb Ram
Win 7 x64 (Fresh re-install just did it today)
Radeon HD 6450 (the specific card HERE)
HDMI Out to -> LG 42" 42LK520
I originally had issues with tearing that I resolved by both manually setting the refresh rate of the monitor to 24hz, and using XBMC's sync playback to framerate options...
I'm using the K-Lite codec pack and I have no trouble playing HD videos of any size on my rig through my monitor. I get decently low CPU usage (pic attached) when I engage in HD Playback and it displays flawless on my monitor, but, when I move the video over to my LCD (I have it set up as extended desktops), it gets periodically choppy... but theres not any more of a spike in CPU or memory usage than when it's played through my monitor...
I've been trying to get this to work perfect for almost three weeks and im at my wits end... I'm pulling out my hair and about to buy a media streamer even though my LCD and my rig are 10 feet apart... any help would be greatly apprecaited...
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
remove klite and install the Win7codecs.
The installer opens a setup and usage page, read it, and bookmark it for future reference. This codec package will enable WMP and Media Center to play all your files but if you still want to use MPC-Homecinema, use the version released on THIS PAGE because it is pre-configured to use the installed codecs.
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
After ditching all codec packs, and having MPC-HD run as x86 and having MadVR tied into it all, it seems to have solved the issue(s), albeit it uses 45% of both cores (as it does not support DXVA) vs. 5 - 10% while using K-Lite's DXVA setup.
I've posted this question on a few forums and heard a few things in response, and I wanted to loop everyone back in and make sure that I'm getting the best information, so I dont have to be an annoying /b/ro and post yet ANOTHER hdmi out related topic.
I've heard that my issues may be tied into the fact that I'm running extended desktops (I can't do mirrored, because my T240HD monitor wont let me force any other refresh rate, and the TV wont take any refresh rate that the monitor isn't while they're mirrored), and that the CPU/GPU may be giving lower priority to the monitor and that I may be best off marking the TV as primary and the monitor as secondary... (But im assuming this will move all my icons and have all of the default stuff put onto the TV rather than the monitor...)
The GPU is passively cooled, but, I find it hard to believe that a Core2Duo at 3Ghz with a HD 6450 + 4gb's of ram would have a hard time outputting 1080p and/or struggling with it at ALL, especially when there has rarely (if ever) been an issue with displaying it on my monitor. Although I feel like this might a setting somewhere in the system and not exactly program dependent because I get similiar results when outputting to my TV via HDMI in extended desktop in XBMC + VLC and MPC (prior to MadVR)...
Again, I am supremely appreciative of everyone's help, and can't thank you enough; thanks for everything, especially for not being snarky 14yr old trolls...
