Planning for Success: Brian Lord, Creator of Kick Irrational
9 July 2004
Drawing skills and a funny bone are the essence of being a cartoonist, but it takes so much more to reach the pinnacle of success: publication.
Brian Lord, creator of Kick Irrational has taken the task in hand, building a solid foundation through planning, marketing and networking to accomplish the goals he set for his comic strip. He generously gave an interview to The Cartoonists, sharing his story of determination and optimism.
Come on along as Brian Lord described how his comic has grown from an idea to having over a quarter million readers:
My cartooning career started on our family farm outside of Greentown, Indiana, at age four. My older sister Kelly started a family newspaper where she provided the articles, and I did sports and comics. We even had world-wide circulation! (We had a great uncle who worked for Habitat for Humanity in the Philippines.) At age six I made my own "Star Kid" comic books, and in high school I drew a lot of single panel cartoons.
Kick Irrational came about over Labor Day weekend while I was a senior at DePauw University. The school newspaper turned it down, so Kick just sat on the shelf for four or five years after graduation. I was blessed to marry a wonderful woman who also likes to make her dreams into reality, and she's been my biggest source of encouragement-and material. Krista's a professional singer (www.thedarins.com), and she loves having a character based on her. In fact, she chose Kricket's name, and when something silly happens to us, she'll say "That's a comic right there!"
A lot of people ask me where the name "Kick Irrational" comes from. The other names are much easier to explain. Lewis and Tolk are named after my two favorite authors, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien. Kricket is one of my wife Krista's nick-names, and Josie was suggested by a fan. But Kick was different. I sat down that Labor Day weekend, said to myself, "I'm going to start a comic strip today", and the name of it was Kick Irrational. I never thought of any other names, or questioned if I should change the name. Its just Kick Irrational. I do have a strip coming up where Kick gives his mother's explanation, but I haven't come up with one for me yet.
The strip has been fun to develop. Initially there were just three characters. Kick would have the good influence of Lewis pulling him one way and the bad influence of Tolk pulling him another. I also planned the strip to contain frequent flashbacks to childhood. The reason for that was the strips I loved growing up- primarily "Peanuts" and "Calvin & Hobbes" - were based on kids, so I thought I needed kids. But I soon realized that as much as I liked Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson's work, I wasn't them. I had to develop Kick Irrational as it came out of my head and hands, and hope that was good enough.
As I'm sure is the case with many beginning cartoonists, there's a mental incubation period where ideas are floating around in your head. The point where Kick Irrational was reborn from college strip to its current form interestingly took place on the way to the Miami airport in 2002. Krista and I stopped off at Borders on the way to the airport and I came across a book called "The Parables of the Peanuts" by Robert L. Short. It talked about how Charles Schulz not only wanted to make people laugh, he also wanted to make them think- about faith, love, the meaning of life- all sorts of things. It helped me crystallize what I wanted to accomplish with Kick Irrational. I decided I wanted people to be better off for having read Kick that day.
Whether it was thinking about their spouse, their faith, their job, or just having a good laugh, I wanted Kick to make a difference with people. One of my favorite comments from readers is "Your strip is the highlight of my Tuesday morning." Armed with a mission, I drew and emailed out my first strips that next Monday night.
I'm a big believer in setting yourself up for success, so when I started, I tried to find ways to do just that. I read several articles about cartoonists in publications like Susanna McLeod's column, Cagle, and the Washington Post to learn how top cartoonists got started. One of the common themes was dealing with rejection, so I decided to make sure I had firm supporters when I started. I emailed 50 friends and family and told them that because they'd been such an encouragement in the past, I needed their encouragement for something new. I promised them that I'd email them two new comics every Monday night. Of course, if you tell people they've encouraged you in the past, they're more likely to encourage you in the future. The first strips I emailed out were terrible, but the recipients were all kind and lied to me and said they were great. Also, since I'd promised to send out two new strips every Monday night, I had to write them whether I felt like it or not. This forced me to keep at it, which helped me get better.
Drawing the strip is very simple. I draw the comic, scan, and fill it in to make both a black and white version (for editors who print in black and white), and a color version for email subscribers. Krista proof-reads everything. She does provide helpful feedback like: "This is too wordy. If I wanted to read this much, I'd get a book." Then I figure out a way to make it shorter, and its usually better.
Since I knew I'd need to convince people who didn't know me that Kick Irrational was worth considering, I made sure to keep track of the city and state (and eventually country) of everyone who signed up to get Kick via email. There's a big difference between saying "a lot of people read it" and saying "I have email subscribers in 257 cities, 47 states, and 11 countries." I took a cartooning class from Watkins School of Design to improve the drawing side.
Eventually I thought Kick was good enough to be put in print, so I approached a nice local publication, "Nashville Christian Family Magazine." The publisher liked what I gave him, liked what he saw on the web, and agreed to run it. I wanted Kick to have a broad audience, so I pitched it to "Funrunner" (a local running magazine), and "The Mitensan" (a local Mensa publication.) All of them began running Kick as well, and soon I had a good enough resume to submit Kick to other news, sports, religious, and Mensa publications. Now, just 10 months after it was first published, Kick Irrational can be read by over 250,000 people in 43 publications in 22 states and 2 countries.
I've also been amazed at how incredibly helpful and humble the cartoonists I've met have been. Several members of the Southeast Chapter of the National Cartoonist Society patiently looked through my work to give me tips on anything from drawing 'talk' balloons to chin shadows. Fellow DePauw alum and creator of "Big Top" Rob Harrell has given me a ton of advice and even advised me on the best strips to include in my syndicate submission. Editorial cartoonist Wayne Stayskal was the first to encourage me to send in syndicate submissions.
I even took a class from former AAEC president Sandy Campbell, whose favorite saying seemed to be "let's give a little weight to that line." The response from most professional cartoonists to Kick is that they really like the writing ("which is the hard part," they say) and that the drawing is good but could be better.
The character who has been most affected by cartoonist comments has been Lewis. Sandy Campbell told me all of my characters had the same body type. Lewis suddenly gained weight. Rob Harrell said he always gets a lot of reader feedback when he does strips on diets. Suddenly Lewis has to deal with his cravings for sweet tea and barbecue. From feedback, many more readers can now relate to Lewis.
So what's the plan for Kick Irrational now? In short, it's in the submission stage. I'm waiting it out like other cartoonists, checking the mail box for a response, just hoping that the right editor will take a liking to the strip, and help it get in 1,000 newspapers. But that's just the business side of things. I also hope that Kick is already achieving its goal of making people laugh and think. On the "Calvin and Hobbes" website (www.calvinandhobbes.com), one can read letters people wrote when they found out Bill Watterson was ending the strip. Whenever it is that I finish this strip, I want to get responses like that, where people are sad and grateful and see themselves in the characters. Not that I want people to be sad, but I want them to connect with Kick and Kricket and Lewis and Tolk. Because if they do, it means I'll have made a small little difference in their lives, and that's all that I ask for.
To sign up to get Kick Irrational free every week via email, just send your City, State/Province, and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to www.KickComics.com.
Good luck for a successful future with Kick Irrational, Brian, and thank you for sharing your inspiring story with The Cartoonists.

The results of some climate-related software are used as the basis for important public policy decisions. If the software is not clearly correct, decision-making will be obscured by debates about it. The project goals are to clear away that obscurity, to increase the clarity and correctness of climate science software.
We are starting with GISTEMP: the best-known climate science answer to the question "How quickly is the world warming up?"
The Clear Climate Code project is carried out by various contributors. It was started by Ravenbrook Limited and its staff, after its co-founder Nick Barnes had the original project idea in 2007. Nobody has commissioned this work from us, or paid us for it. All the code and documentation written as part of the project is available at no charge under an open source license.

Hi Dr. Schwartz,
I get angry at those who are closest to me and over very little things. I allow people to put things into my head and that makes it worse. I end up going crazy to my good friends.
I'm a nice person, I am not nasty, and I get along with everyone. Its just that sometimes I turn into this person who just wants to hurt someone and I would never dream of hurting someone.
I thought maybe this could be due to my past. I had a fairly bad childhood. I am still young now and I don't want to grow older with all this rage inside me. I was wondering if you could advise any help I could get? Many thanks, Ellie.

These are just some of what our customers are saying about the service, and product RRT Productions offers. High quality video production for an affordable price! Contact us today!!
"Rob Trautman and RRT Productions shot numerous high school football games for our station (WEWS NewsChannel 5) during the season.
He was truly a pleasure to work with. Rob is very organized and keeps you updated on everything he is doing throughout the night. He has great experience shooting football games that even rival some of our station's very best videographers.
Rob always went over and beyond on what we needed from him on a weekly basis. He gave us a heads up of the game he would be doing well in advance and turned his highlights in very quick so we didn't stress about them making air.
I would recommend Rob and RRT Productions for anything related for high school football. He has a great understanding for how to shoot a football game and you will get an exceptional product."
Eric Ristow, WEWS Channel 5 (ABC) Sports Producer
Cleveland, Ohio
RRT Productions did a wonderful job taking video of our players at the Diamond League Prospects Camp. The videos are of the highest quality and Rob's expertise in shooting sports video is essential in making a quality video. Rob understands what exactly what coaches want to see. The angles used and length of the video makes for a perfect recruiting video for college coaches in the recruitment of our players.
John Mengelkamp
Diamond League/OPL
"As a former college coach, I received numerous recruiting videos from prospects and their families throughout the years. No one puts together a better product than Rob and his team at RRT. The videos are crisp and cleanly edited, providing me with all pertinent information I need for an accurate evaluation. His staff are always friendly and professional at events and are very affordable. There aren't many other people I would trust my video work to than Rob and his team."
Brian Warning
Former College Baseball Coach
A Great Find!
We used RRT Productions to produce a baseball recruiting video for our son who is currently a high school senior. I was impressed with their professionalism throughout the process. The care they took to get it "just right", their patience during the filming, as well as their ability to make the boys feel comfortable and relaxed was remarkable! We have sent the link to several schools and have heard from some in whom we didn't reach out. Rob Trautman has also shared that the video can be tweaked or footage added at any time. The cost is very affordable; you can't beat the value and convenience of having a "personal showcase" at your fingertips!
Keith & Katherine McQueen
Rob did a fantastic job of capturing the important moments on our wedding video. He blended in so as not to attract attention and yet he didn't miss anything. He worked very closely with our photographer at Monique Studios and both did such an excellent job. I cried all over again when my new husband and I watched the completed video. Thank you Rob for being a part of our special day, and for providing a service so we will always remember just how special it was!
"We were referred to Rob and RRT Productions by another St. Ignatius family. I'm glad we found him! We found Rob to be incredibly easy to work with despite the numerous revisions we put him through. He was able to accommodate our requests perfectly. The finished product was high quality in terms of the website link as well as the DVDs that were produced. We have also gone back to Rob for additional copies of the DVD, which were produced and made available in a timely manner. We have discovered that college coaches like to receive a hard copy of DVDs since they like to be able to put them in their DVD players to dissect them to the utmost degree. We have found that they do not have that capability via the web link – so both are important – the web link for initial exposure and the hard copy DVD to personally hand to a coach (or mail). We would, and already have, recommended RRT's services to others."
Greg & Linda Halter
(Mason Halter , St. Ignatius High School) Ohio
University of Florida- OL
" RRT Productions assisted our son greatly in his quest to continue playing football at the college level. His ability to take key plays from game tapes and put together a flowing sequence to showcase my son's ability in a professionally done video, assisted our son in being recruited and ultimately being awarded a football scholarship! Thank you Rob!
Jo Ann & Frank Ross
(Stewart Ross- St.Ignatius High School) Ohio
Ashland University- OL
"My son attended the Canton Baseball Showcase, which was held in the summer of 2011. Fortunately, RRT Productions,LLC recorded and filmed the event and made DVDs available to any participant, or family member, capturing the performance of each participant at that Showcase event. We purchased several DVDs from RRT Productions and were extremely impressed, not only with the film and sound quality of their product, but also of their exceptional service, from quick turn-around and attentiveness to their cordiality and overall professionalism. I highly recommend them to anyone for their quality and for capturing or filming any event, especially action events, and any recording needs."
Mark Tantari
Toledo, Ohio
"We really lucked out when RRT Productions was filming another player on our team at a tournament. About mid way through the tournament I was introduced to Rob Trautman and thought it would be a great idea to see what kind of shots he could get of my son. I was amazed at the quality of video. The first time I saw it, I watched it 5 times in a row!!! I really like that he showed all aspects of my son's game. Not only will it be great to send to potential colleges but also it was great to show his grandparents who do not live in the area. I definitely would use RRT Productions services again! Thanks a million."
Gayle Creese
(Josh Creese Seneca Valley H.S) Pennsylvania
"I highly recommend RRT for those looking to put together a baseball skills video. Rob worked with me to add additional video clips to my son's individual video, added music and finished by running 2014 Summer Baseball Statistics. Great Quality, Great Service, Great Price. Thanks Rob."
Michael Balla
Massillon, Ohio
"Thank you to RRT Productions, we were very impressed with the work you did putting together our son's Hudl Video. The highlights and the flow of the video were exceptional. We would recommend you to our friends who are seeking the opportunity to continue playing sports in college.

DAC Collection Artist Information
Philippe de Champaigne
French painter and draftsma
Brief biography, in most instances from the Union List of Artist Names® Online:
He was known as one of the greatest portrait painters of 17th-century France. His art was based in an analytical study of appearances and on psychological truth. He was also one of the principal instigators of the Classical tendency and a founder-member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. He developed an interest in Jansenist thinking, typified by a severe plainness of style. His career overall is marked by a successful integration of foreign elements into French culture and as the representative of the most intellectual current of French painting, having developed from late Mannerism and moving into powerful Baroque images, influenced as much by the Flemish Rubens as by Vouet, and ending with an aesthetic vision of the world and of humanity. Flemish painter.

- Controlling Humidity
- Delicate Produce
- Temporary Storage
- Case Studies
As the UK's leading provider of drying and heating solutions, we have the industry expertise to handle any feasible situation, regardless of size. We offer both refrigerant and desiccant units, thus covering our clients for all possible eventualities. Whether you need a short-term emergency package or a longer dehumidification programme for the storage of delicate materials or resources, we can always help.
Our product offering ranges from small portable units, which are perfect for small storerooms and extends through to high capacity industrial units, which are capable of keeping the largest warehouses dry. For very low humidity requirements, our desiccant units provide an ideal solution. All of these units are readily available to buy or hire from any of our depots located throughout the UK.
We have more experience in providing drying equipment than any other supplier, with our range of units suitable for numerous applications and environments. Our proficient engineers are adept in identifying areas with excess humidity and equally capable of designing solutions to overcome this problem.
Whether you are storing electronic goods, metallic components, paper, powders, tea, coffee, sugar or in fact any perishable items, we have the expertise to the control humidity levels within your facility to suit the products being stored.
Our service is not limited to simply delivering and installing dehumidifiers to our clients, but also includes a dependable 24/7 service back-up. We also offer free site surveys to customers prior to rental, allowing us to provide the best system for your premises and circumstances.
When warehouses are used to store delicate materials or products, it is important to ensure appropriate conditions are maintained inside - in order to guard against damage. Electronic goods, metals and foodstuffs are all susceptible to degradation if the environment is too humid. Excessive moisture in the atmosphere can be extremely detrimental to such products, causing breakages, rusting and even the growth of mould.
Whether you are keeping cereal, sugar or household electrical goods, it is imperative to maintain dry surroundings to prevent them getting damaged. Failure to do so will have direct consequences on costs and profit margins. Our reliable dehumidifiers provide an affordable yet effectual solution to moisture removal within your depository's interior.
Seasonal demands, early harvesting or simply a short-term change in stock levels are all reasons why businesses require temporary storage from time to time. Tightened budgets can also leave companies looking for cheaper alternatives to permanent structures, thus eradicating the lengthy wait for perpetual constructions. This flexible solution negates the need for lasting commitment but doesn't mean the requirement for effective dehumidification is any less prevalent.
The risk of products and merchandise suffering moisture damage is even higher in temporary storage structures, in such circumstances hiring a dehumidifier is often the most cost effective and suitable solution, as you will only need the units whilst the temporary structure is in use, whether the hire period is for a few weeks or for several months, we can tailor a package to suit.
Our dehumidifiers will protect your stock from damp conditions by maintaining a dry environment throughout. They can vastly improve the quality and aptitude of your storage area by providing total control of humidity levels - and at very little cost. This ensures all crops; machinery or electronics are kept at their required temperature, guarding against the possibility of lost output.
Whether you're looking for urgent solution or a simple advice about the prospect of needing drying units in the future, we are able to assist. Our expert contact team are fully qualified to give advice about the best solution for your situation, and are on hand 24 hours a day to deal with your enquiry.

She is Miranda May Kerr, also known as Miranda Kerr. She is an Australian model. Kerr rose to prominence in 2007 as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. She is the first Australian to participate in the Victoria's Secret campaign and also represented the Australian up-market department store chain David Jones. In addition, Kerr has launched her own brand of organic skincare products, KORA Organics, and released a self-help book, Treasure Yourself.
Kerr began modelling in the fashion industry when she was 13, starting at zj, and subsequently won a 1997 Australian nationwide model search hosted by Dolly magazine and Impulse fragrances. She married English actor Orlando Bloom in 2010; they have since separated.
In 2003, Kerr began dating finance broker Adrian Camilleri. Following an Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigation, Camilleri was found guilty on five counts of fraudulent behaviour from February 2003 to February 2004. Kerr subsequently ended the relationship. A 2007 newspaper report claims that Kerr suffered financially "after taking her boyfriend's financial advice" but chose not to take legal action.
She formerly dated Jay Lyon (Brent Tuhtan), the lead singer of the band Tamarama, who has made appearances on season one of the MTV series The City. Kerr starred in Tamarama's video clip for "Everything To Me". The two began dating in 2003 and had a four-year relationship, which ended on mutual terms in mid-2007.
Kerr began dating English actor Orlando Bloom in late 2007. In 2009, the Bling Ring broke into Bloom's home. The group stole luxury brand clothing and jewellery. In this case, the ringleader allegedly wanted Kerr's Victoria's Secret lingerie. Kerr and Bloom announced their engagement in June 2010, and they were married the following month. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom, in January 2011. The middle name Christopher comes from Kerr's ex-boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook who died in a car accident in 1998 when they were 15. In October 2013, Kerr and Bloom announced that they had separated several months earlier, and intend to end their marriage.
In response to claims that Kerr is a practicing Buddhist, she told The Telegraph, "I'm not Buddhist. I'm Christian. I pray every day. I meditate every day and I do yoga. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. And praying is something my grandmother taught me as well. To pray and be grateful, have gratitude, is a big thing for me."
She credits meditation, speaking with friends, and writing as ways of dealing with challenges such as Middlebrook's death, and "makes it a priority to pray about forgiving herself and others."
Kerr maintains her physique through daily yoga, light jogging, and a diet of steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, and fish. Kerr told readers of Australian Cosmopolitan that coconut oil was the key to her clear skin, shiny hair and trim figure, saying she ingests four tablespoons a day, either on salads, in her cooking or in her cups of green tea.

The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, the automaker's big leap back into the mid-size pickup segment, will start at $20,995 when it arrives at dealerships this fall.
That will buy a truck equipped with a 2.5-liter, 200-horsepower four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission.
The base equipment also includes power windows, a locking tailgate and a back-up camera.
Meanwhile, the GMC version of the truck, the Canyon, will start at $21,880 with the same powertrain, as well as LED lighting, four-way power driver's seat and 16-inch aluminum wheels.
Both trucks – which are all new -- are available with optional 3.6-liter, 305-horsepower V-6 engines and six-speed automatic transmissions.
The trucks' base prices do not include shipping. But they are competitive with a comparably equipped Toyota Tacoma, the top seller in the segment.
The new trucks will be available in extended- and crew-cab configurations, and as two- or four-wheel drive.
In about a year, both trucks will be available with optional four-cylinder diesel engines.
Further pricing and fuel-economy information will be released closer to the trucks' launch.

This is a digital, print at home embroidery motif for a great art deco
floral design. The pattern comes with a full sized, large motif at 8" x
15" (designed for dresses, towels, bags and other large pieces of
fabric) and designs scaled to less than half that size for smaller
projects. The large piece is designed to be printed on your home printer
and taped together.
You can print the pages to any scale to work with whatever type of project you'd like to embellish. These motifs are delicate and feminine but would also be wonderful used on any other project as well.
Also included is a small lesson on common embroidery stitches.
Once you've printed the designs, use transfer paper, or trace the design with an iron-on transfer pencil.
My favorite way to transfer these designs is to print them out, then lay a piece of sewing transfer paper over my fabric. Then I lay the printed design face up, pin it all in place, and trace over the motif with a pen to press it into the fabric. It's fast, easy, and versatile.

A One-derful Day
Unless you indulged in a series of prolonged naps on Friday, you probably realized at one point or another that the date was November 11, 2011, or, more popularly, 11-11-11. The hype was hard to miss—and yet the prior week's palindromic date of 11-02-2011 somehow slid by greatly unnoticed. The early years of a century naturally give us more of these kinds of dates, but 11-11-11 stands out because it is a repunit number and reads the same forwards, backwards, and upside down.
Wedding chapels were booked solid on Friday, stores planned grand openings at exactly 11:11, and the internet offered no shortage of numerological explanations and predictions—both hopeful and dire—for this noteworthy date. I didn't buy into any of that, but I do confess to having a bit of number superstition. Where my writing is concerned, I prefer it if a manuscript's word count is a nice round "lucky-looking" number, and I will usually do my final tweaking with that in mind.
Additionally, I've long had an affinity for the time of 11:11—on a digital clock, it's just so darn symmetrical—and having it occur on 11-11-11 was too much for me to ignore. So I gave some thought as to what I wanted to be doing when the potentially-auspicious time rolled around. Standing in the checkout line at Target? Uh, no. Exercising? Always a healthy choice, but, again, no. Having been inspired by Dylan's Writing Bug post to increase my productivity in November, I knew I wanted to be writing. I set my most accurate clock on my desk, opened a pristine Word document, and, when 11:11 arrived, I wrote the first sentence of a new project that has been rolling around in my head for a while.
My attention to 11:11 11-11-11 was merely a symbolic gesture. I don't really believe that the confluence of all those number ones will change my luck, because the act of writing isn't about luck. (Some might say other facets of the business are, but that's a topic for another time.) Writing is work, and it requires commitment, diligence, and effort. Any time of any day.
Friday was also Veteran's Day, and I'd like to extend my gratitude to the brave men and women who have served, are serving, or will someday serve this country.
Do you have writing superstitions, numerical or otherwise?

Unfortunately, I taught right through 11-11-11-11-11. Many of my fellow teachers stopped class to make their wishes at 11:11am, but single-minded old me? I just plowed right through and forgot.
Weirdly enough, I was multi-tasking this morning, pulling a name from my prize jar for last week and simultaneously reminding students checking for parent signatures in the agenda to mark the chart for Friday's date. "It was 11-11-11!" called out one girl, to remind the students filling out the chart. And just as she called out the number, I pulled that girl's name from the jar.
The room was struck with awed silence.

10k, yoga, coffee and elle
Today I've been pretty productive. Or at least during the forenoon. But first I'll brief you a little about yesterdays evening, which was spent with Amanda and Greta at Ikon on St. Eriksplan. Lovely girls those two. Good food in combination with interesting conversation is always a go! Anyhow, I went out running today! I haven't been out on a run or jog since I moved to Stockholm (In October?!). I thought it would be difficult and exhausting to run 10k. Especially after a few months of just doing Yoga as a daily exercise, but it went great! Surprisingly good actually! I did my usual time which is always around the hour for a 10k distance. That if I do not exert myself at all. I know I can do a better time if I go for it. When I got home I did Yoga (can't skip that!), laundry, vacuuming and cleaning. Since around 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon I've been infront of Netflix with magazines and coffee! Quality time for myself. I love it. I'm working tomorrow so tonight will be easy and cozy. Just what I neeeeeed!

Poisonous toothpaste. Kids' jewelry and metal toys loaded with toxic lead. Food contaminated with pesticides, carcinogens, and bacteria. Contaminated heparin. Even poisonous pet food that killed 39,000 animals. All these products had two things in common: they were made in China and consumed or used in the U.S.
According to a recent report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, "the value of U.S. imports of consumer products manufactured in China was $246 billion, comprising approximately 40% of all consumer products imported into the U.S."
What if a dangerous product injured a child in Ohio? Under recent "tort reform" laws passed by Ohio lawmakers in 2005, Chinese manufacturers would enjoy numerous legal protections, including limits on what injured Ohio victims could recover. Chinese manufacturers' liability would be capped or limited to figures as low as 350,000. And their liability for punitive damages (damages designed to punish for willfully ignoring product safety concerns) would be limited to two times the amount of "compensatory damages" (items like medical bills or physical pain and disfigurement).
Worse yet, they could be 100% IMMUNE from punitive damages if the product causing harm was manufactured in accordance with applicable FDA standards.
One large problem however: The FDA in a recent report has acknowledged that:
many products come from countries with little ability to provide the regulatory oversight needed to assure the safety of the products exported; and
lax oversight in many foreign places presents opportunities for products to be unintentionally contaminated, or intentionally contaminated by those who mean harm, by counterfeiters, or by those who try to profit by "cutting corners."
In fact, the situation is so bad that the FDA set up a special program to take extra measures to try to ensure that Chinese manufacturers produce safer products. But we all realize now that dangerous products, food, and medicines are still making their way into the hands of U.S. consumers.
So why on earth should foreign manufacturers enjoy limited liability in Ohio for producing dangerous products? Because numerous business groups like the Ohio and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, The Ohio Manufacturers' Association, The Ohio Society of CPA's and insurance companies spent millions lobbying for Ohio products liability reforms for ALL manufacturers "to improve our legal climate." And these laws as passed protect ANY domestic or foreign manufacturers, even bad ones that cut corners on product safety and expose us to all sorts of life threatening risks. Nice to know that this is what our Legislature has been up to recently, isn't it?
Unfortunately, nobody will notice or even care about this issue until one of these products causes a tragedy to an Ohio family. And then you can expect people to be shocked and outraged at the idea that bad manufacturers are somehow protected by Ohio law. I wonder if these lobbying groups (and the politicians who voted for these laws) will then say that protecting these companies is "good for Ohioans."
Which animal is representing the 2009 Chinese New Year? Ironically, it's the ox. So whose ox is really being gored here?

Jia Senghe ~ Shakuhachi
Lessons and Practice
Early Days in Japan
Ikkyu Sojun Connection
Video Recordings
Self-published Books and Channeled Writings
Tantric Methods of Transformation
Taoist Bedroom Practices
I was amazed to discover recently that I have a connection with the eccentric Zen master Ikkyu Sojun. I found that there are many interesting parallels and similarities in our lives. For example we both began our Zen practice at 20, him with a master, while I at the same age began learning the practice from a book on Buddhist meditation.
When he was 5 years old he was sent to a Zen temple in Kyoto to be educated. I was 4 when I was placed in a Christian school.
We were both born in the morning in the month of February, wandered in the hills and valleys collecting edible plants and roots, and of course we both love playing and listening to shakuhachi.
Ikkyu lived for a while as a beggar on the street while for me it was getting food from dumpsters behind grocery stores during hard times.
Ikkyu had both respect and reverence for prostitutes and cortesans and saw sexual love as a path to a deeper awakening. For me, during a time of a serious depression, a woman with insatiable desires showed up in my life. She made her living by providing sexual services to men. Her ability to use sex for healing brought me out of funky low energy and back into optimism and balance. It was my time with her that inspired me to learn more about the sacred nature of sexuality and it's role in spiritual awakening.
Ikkyu lived among the tall pines in Kyoto for a time. I lived in a cabin among the tall redwoods of Mendocino, having only the moon and stars for lights at night.
Ikkyu and I both share similar views when it comes to the hypocrisies, contradictions and excessive ritualization of organized religion.
Ikkyu: "Before chanting endless, complicated sutras, first learn the love songs of the wind and rain." He would ask his teachers questions that would confound them or show them through his antics how rediculous some of their rules were. I have the same tendency having little patience for what I consider to be arbitrary rules and it has often landed me in hot water.
When I was in 3rd grade I wanted to know the reason why Cain would need a mark on his forehead since he and his parents were the only ones living at the time. The pastor shrugged his shoulders and couldn't give me a straight answer. I knew then that I needed different teachers.
In the 80's a couple of Muslim clerics I met wamted to recruit me into Islam. They explained that as part of the Islamic religion they strive to do things the same way that the prophet Mohammad did accoring to the Quran and the stories about him or what's called hadiths. I pointed out to them that since the prophet got direct revelations from God through an angel while praying in a cave that all of the prophet's followers should do that too...to find God in a direct way. They looked at me weird and would not speak to me again after that.
Ikkyu had no use for certificates or documents of his achievement in Zen. I feel the same way. While he set his certficates on fire, mine are in the basement rotting away with mold.
Ikkyu also took it upon himself to help his master in the remaining days of his life when he could no longer take care of his hygenic needs.
In my case I assisted my mom well into her 90's when her ability to care for herself became dimished and she needed help with food preparation and keeping good hygiene. Needing to be changed often, she would say to me jokingly, "I know you didn't sign up for this."
Today at 97, she is in a nursing home and has adjusted well and is well liked by the staff, many of the residents and her nurses.
Ikkyu had a great reverence for nature as is evident in his poems. Wind, trees, rain, snow and flower blossoms constantly show up in his writings and poetry with humble appreciation. While I understood at an early age that trees, streams and wind have a spirit that is evident in their forms, the sounds they make and their presence.
*You can learn more of master Ikkyu through collections of his poetry and the abundance of Zen stories about him.
The bamboo thicket has a new set of sprouts.
This old monk feels young again,
My beauty is just thirty-six.
A fresh breeze blows through the crumbling walls.
Ikkyu with his beloved Mori
For ten straight years I reveled in pleasure
Now I'm all alone deep in the dark
mountain valley.
Thirty thousand cloud leagues live between me and the places I love.
The only sound that reaches my ears
is the melancholy wind blowing in the pines.
A wonderful autumn night, fresh and bright;
Over the echo of music and drums from a distant village
The single clear tone of a shakuhachi brings a flood of tears
Startling me from a deep, melancholy dream.
he importance of sound, music and the shakuhachi to those seeking the realm of enlightenment is readily apparent in the poetry of the Zen priest Ikkyu (1394-1481). Throughout the collection of his Chinese-style poetry, known as the Kyounshu, are many images related to sound and music. Like Dogen, the founder of the Rinzai Zen sect, who attained enlightenment when he heard a nightingales's cry and the sound of bamboo slpitting in the forest, Ikkyu was enlightened by the cry of a bird...a crow he heard while meditation on a small boat on Lake Biwa:
Now, as ten years ago,
A mind attached to arrogance and anger
But at the laugh of the crow
An adept from the dust arises
And an illumined face sings
In the morning sun.
A poem written by Ikkyu for an earlier shakuhachi-playing priest, Tonami, hints at the power the instrument has in the hands of an enlightened master:
The incomparable Tonami,
who roams the heavens and the earth
Playing the shakuhachi, one feels the
unseen worlds.
In all the universe there is only this song
Our flute player pictured here.
*from an article by Christopher Blasdel, Shihan
'The Shakuhachi: Asesthetics of a Single Tone'
in The Annals of The International Shakuhachi Society, Vol I.

You are hereRecovery
"Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us."
- Voltaire
The Wizard of Oz has long been a favorite story and metaphor of life for me. I love the many metaphors contained within the story. The tornado delivers Dorothy into a "call" she cannot avoid. The yellow brick road is an invitation to the journey of life and discovery of the mettle contained within oneself. Along the journey Dorothy discovers other seekers who have been stuck in fear or shame for the "things" which they do not perceive to have within themselves. They have feelings of brokeness, a yearning for courage, and wish for a completeness of self. There is bonding in that brokeness, support for courage, the capacity one needs to reach beyond fear, and sustenance for the journey in finding others who struggle.
Sex Addiction Recovery and Super Heroes
On this day I had the luxury of sitting with a cup of coffee and taking in a bit of CNN as I began my day. Dr. Sanjay Gupta was reporting his experience of giving the commencement address at his alma mater, Michigan University. I was struck by the main message he wished to convey to these graduates. His advice: "Do one thing that you fear every day and become the action hero in your own life." Well said.
That message applies for those working on recovery, as well. Fear is to recovery as Kryptonite was to Superman. Many in recovery face actions that are fearful, yet, doing that fearful act can bring one to their own aid. Reaching out to another peer with personal struggle, calling a sponsor for aid with the craziness in one's own head, making an amends to those whom amends are owed can all be very scary acts indeed. If you can work through the fear and take action imagine where that might lead you. The sky is the limit!
Entering Into the Pain of Transformational Change
"If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you. The pain of making the necessary sacrifices always hurts more than you think it's going to. I know. It sucks. That being said, doing something seriously creative is one of the most amazing experiences one can have, in this or any other lifetime. If you can pull it off, it's worth it. Even if you don't end up pulling it off, you'll learn many incredible, magical, valuable things. It's NOT doing it when you know you full well you HAD the opportunity- that hurts FAR more than any failure."
- Hugh MacLeod
Where in the World is Matt Lauer: Some Thoughts for Addiction and Recovery
"Fortune favors the bold." - Virgil
This past Thursday on NBC's The Today Show Matt Lauer visited the Jungfrau Observatory in the Swiss Alps. In this segment he met up with legendary climbers who reach great heights. Specifically he focused on three climbers and their motivations, techniques, and focus used to climb the iconic north face of the Eiger Peak (elevation 13,000 feet). All three men had something to say that reminded me of the dangers of sex addiction and the sometimes unimaginable quest in reaching the summit of successful recovery.
First, the story of John Harlen, the first American to climb the steep and craggy north face of the Eiger tells the tale of obsession, motivation, and the quest for redemption. Four years after solidifying his place in history as the first American to climb the north face, Harlen died taking a more direct route up in 1962. Sex addiction is a diesease of incresing escalating behaviors. Some may die in the quest for even greater new heights.

Washington DC politicians and bureaucrats have an advantage over corporations with the trial balloon. This is an indefinite proposal that seems to address an issue but is not yet formally announced. Like this one. It is safe to say that if reaction was severe yesterday to the proposed change, it will be tweaked before it appears today. Corporations rarely have such luxury. Wouldn't it be interesting if a consumer products manufacturer publicly proposed a new toothpaste to see what kind of demand it might have? Yes, companies use surveys, focus groups and statistical methods to assess consumer needs but it is different. In Washington, a politician or official says that he might do something then waits for reaction before dropping the idea, modifying it or proposing it formally. In the corporate world, that would be seen as poor PR because it would confuse customers. Just one more way that political and corporate PR differ.

Last week, thousands of dealers, thought leaders and allied industry members met at the Driving Sales Executive Summit, Digital Dealer Conference and J.D. Power Automotive Marketing Roundtable in Las Vegas to discuss best practices and industry trends. Following up on the first DealerADvantage recap, which shared key takeaways related to the conversations on social media, today's post focuses on "Big Data," another key theme discussed during the conferences.
Similar to the industry conversation surrounding social media, "Big Data" affects many facets of the online automotive space and can be scaled depending upon your dealership's size and needs.
Simply put, "Big Data" in the context of the retail industry represents the massive amount of information related to shopper activity – and the power to use that information to inform advertising, design and process decisions, driving better performance for dealers and manufacturers alike.
In a presentation at DrivingSales, Dr. Florian Zettelmeyer of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management shared how online retailers, such as Target and Amazon, commonly use "Big Data" to provide a more relevant, customized experience to shoppers based on demographics, activity patterns and preferences, increasing sales and informing purchasing and supply chain decisions. Though global companies collect and store data on thousands of servers, Zettelmeyer explained how dealerships can follow similar strategic principles with just a hard drive's worth of information.
"The key," Zettelmeyer elaborated, "is to design all processes with measurement in mind."
A "Big Data" mindset can often show a bigger picture than what's at surface level, Zettelmeyer explained. In one referenced case study, a dealership tested providing the invoice price of vehicles to customers at the beginning, middle and end of negotiations. The findings showed that, on average, providing the invoice price at the beginning or middle of a deal yielded a greater total customer value than when the invoice was given as a last resort at the end of negotiations.
While willingly giving up part of the gross of the sale would be unheard of for most dealers, the study found that when the dealership looked beyond the initial sale and tracked data to evaluate the total value of each customer (i.e. financing, service, repeat business), they found that the trust established between the customer and the dealership through pricing transparency made up for the smaller margin.
Jared Hamilton of DrivingSales and Doug Frisbee of Facebook linked "Big Data" to the concept of multi-channel attribution. Hamilton, along with other industry leaders, repeatedly cited that there is no longer such a thing as a "single-source car deal," and that dealers must look beyond cost-per-lead and cost-per-sale metrics to truly understand all the marketing investments that influence shopper decisions.
Pierce Hasler of Cars.com and Jason Ezell of Dataium echoed industry sentiments during their breakout session at DrivingSales. Using the recent independent Dataium study commissioned by Cars.com as a launch point, the two examined the role of automotive marketplaces and research points throughout the modern car buying processes.
Finally, Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland As, weighed in on the "Big Data" conversation with a unique perspective. In the mid-1990's, Beane implemented his now famous data-driven, "Moneyball," style of player valuation, which uses complex data analysis to measure the importance of individual statistics such as home runs, batting average and on-base percentage.
"Every business, including baseball, has metrics," said Beane. "We had to figure out which were the most important."
Moreover, the A's success came from understanding their identity and setting goals that matched it. Beane joked, "We can't all be the Yankees."
The lessons from "Moneyball" can be applied to dealerships by constantly evaluating performance and using information, rather than gut instinct, to dictate decisions. Understanding how each aspect of your business is connected, from website analytics to basic customer service processes.
Assembling a team that defines and measures its goals can bring more success to your store.
What metrics are you currently using to evaluate success at your dealership?

On Saturday I watched a very exciting film called "Last Samurai". This film I think is marvellous and the scenery is breathtaking.
In Daimyo Algren meets Taka, a Japanese woman who has got two children. Her husband was murdered by Algren, and Katsumoto who is the chief of the village and the brother of Taka. Algren can't escape of the town because it is in the mountains and the passes are barred with snow. In that time he really learns to fight with the sword.
After some time Katsumoto becomes a very good friend of Algren and the talk very often. He also learns to like the Samurai and after some time Taka and Algren fall in love. In spring Algren walks back but there is the army which has become better than it was at the last meeting. There is one big battle but then there is peace. In the end Algren comes back to Taka and they live in love and peace until they die. I think this film was very cool because there are very exciting fight scenes and the film is also amazing.

Next: Constructor Implementation, Previous: Class Declaration Syntax, Up: Class Module Design [Contents]
B.1.2 Class Storage
One of the more powerful features of ease.js is how classes (and other objects, such as Interfaces) are stored. Rather than adopting its own model, the decision was instead to blend into how JavaScript already structures its data. Everything in JavaScript can be assigned to a variable, including functions. Classes are no different.
One decision was whether or not to store classes internally by name, then permit accessing it globally (wherever ease.js is available). This is how most Object-Oriented languages work. If the file in which the class is defined is available, the class can generally be referenced by name. This may seem natural to developers coming from other Object-Oriented languages. The decision was to not adopt this model.
By storing classes only in variables, we have fine control over the
scope and permit the developer to adopt their own mechanism for organizing
their classes. For example, if the developer wishes to use namespacing, then
he/she is free to assign the class to a namespace (e.g.
'org.foo.my.ns.Foo = Class( {} )'). More importantly, we can take
advantage of the CommonJS format that ease.js was initially built for by
assigning the class to
module.exports. This permits 'require(
'filename' )' to return the class.
This method also permits defining anonymous classes (while not necessarily recommended, they have their uses just as anonymous functions do), mimic the concept of Java's inner classes and create temporary classes (see Temporary Classes). Indeed, we can do whatever scoping that JavaScript permits.
B.1.2.1 Memory Management
Memory management is perhaps one of the most important considerations. Initially, ease.js encapsulated class metadata and visibility structures (see Hacking Around the Issue of Encapsulation). However, it quickly became apparent that this method of storing data, although excellent for protecting it from being manipulated, caused what appeared to be memory leaks in long-running software. These were in fact not memory leaks, but ease.js keeping references to class data with no idea when to free them.
To solve this issue, all class data is stored within the class itself (that is, the constructor in JavaScript terms). They are stored in obscure variables that are non-enumerable and subject to change in future releases. This ensures that developers cannot rely on using them for reflection purposes or for manipulating class data during runtime. This is important, since looking at such members can give access to protected and private instance data. In the future, the names may be randomly chosen at runtime to further mitigate exploits. Until that time, developers should be aware of potential security issues.
If the globally accessible model would have been adopted (storing classes internally by class name rather than in variables), classes would not have been freed from memory when they went out of scope. This raises the memory footprint unnecessarily, especially for temporary classes. It would make sense that, after a temporary class is done being used, that the class be freed from memory.
Given this fact alone, the author firmly believes that the model that was chosen was the best choice.

volume tape (or cable) torn
While taking apart my Itouch 4g I accidentally broke the volume cable. (I was replacing a broken screen). It seems the repair of the cable is more difficult than replacement of the screen! If I go ahead and put it all back together with this cable broken, will I have any volume control at all? Are there any other problems related with this cable remaining severed? Thanks!
