Comic 878: Randall Makes a Strong Case Yet Again for a Picto-Blog
Hey all, it's Gamer_2k4 again. I didn't think I'd be making another guest post so soon, but I had to say something after seeing Comic 878. Not only does it have potential, but it's clear that Randall spent more than his usual five minutes on it. The comic could have been great, but it was destroyed by none other than Randall himself. Because of that, this review won't be bile and snark, but rather a lamentation for what could have been.
If you haven't seen the strip itself, don't go to xkcd.com just yet. Let's start from the other side, by looking at the good parts before they were ruined. That means stripping out the ugly stick figure panels at the top and bottom and focusing on the middle.
Look at that! It's not bad! It's remarkably well-drawn for being in a minimalistic comic like xkcd. It conveys visually the concepts that Randall is trying to explore. It's showing, not telling. And honestly, I think it's interesting stuff. Sure, any mathemetician could tell you that recursively scaling something down will shrink it quickly. Honestly, any of us could probably figure it out in no time at all. But it's the sort of thing that never really occurs to you until you're confronted with it. Randall's confronting us with it, and he's doing it in a very compelling manner.
Let's throw out the fact that Randall was inspired by Wikipedia yet again. Don't worry that he expressed the concept simply, rather than in an excessively geeky manner like the guys at xkcd sucks reboot offered. Instead, realize that he only used seventeen words with the six detailed pictures and succeeded admirably in conveying this idea to his audience.
Carl often spoke of a picto-blog that Randall should make, where he explores his interesting ideas with illustrations and descriptions, but WITHOUT trying to force in humor where it doesn't belong. I fully agree. Want proof? Take a look at the comic again, this time with Randall's attempts to be funny included.
Okay, right away this is stupid. The basement is ugly, the stick figures add very little (especially note panel 2), and perhaps most importantly, NO ONE gets that excited about making 1/87 replicas of furniture and the like. So, in this top row, we have several staples of xkcd that give us a reason to continue this blog: poor (not minimalistic, but poor) art, unrealistic dialogue, unnecessary elaboration (the parenthesized "1/87"), and a rather notable lack of humor. And yet, these three panels could still be a strip by themselves! A joke, or at least an attempt at a joke, exists (the implied "you didn't think this through because making a true scale model would recurse indefinitely"), there's no post-punchline dialogue, and and the joke itself is implied, rather than directly stated. It's not Randall's best work, but it's certainly not his worst. For a moment I had thought those three panels WERE the comic strip today. As it turns out, they were just an unnecessary lead-in to the actual content.
The final bookend is far worse. The notion that you even have to have a rule like "no nesting" is retarded (though perhaps not necessarily unwarranted, given the characters that populate xkcd), and the Fight Club reference is the worst sort of humor: the type that expects you to laugh in recognition rather than because it was particularly witty. (I do give him credit for subverting it to say "yeah we suck and our families are sick of it," though.) Randall is trying to salvage two things that don't need to be salvaged: a standalone comic and a standalone picto-blog entry. The three components together form an unfortunate amalgamation where the sum is less than the parts, and it's further ruined by title text that doesn't really add much and is little more that an admittance of "I'm pedantic, opinionated, and I get my ideas from Wikipedia."
RANDALL. We've been over this before. Get an editor so that someone can tell you when you're destroying something good. Don't force yourself to work and rework your comics to death, and don't try to inject humor where it's not needed. You have plenty of comics that are supposed to be interesting, not funny, so why not just go with that?
It's strips like this one that remind me that sometimes, you're a pretty bright guy. You have interesting things to say from time to time, and you're occasionally more than a creepy, unfunny stalker. Work with that!
Make the picto-blog, Randall. Please.

since (as all cuddlefish know) none of us have any life outside of this blog that would be disastrous D:
Wednesday, Randall. You and me. Bring it.
oh yeah and yeah what Gamer_2k4 said was sensible and I agreeReplyDelete
But that's not as important as our personal standings within the ranks of XKCD sucks. I may not be first here, but third is pretty good. I'm moving up in the world!ReplyDelete
You're first, Rinnon. Ann doesn't count because she doesn't have a proper avatar.ReplyDelete
I feel this comic may have been slightly funnier if the guy had actually built the recursive models. That may even have lead on to a related punchline.

I'm surprised that Gamer_2k4 actually tries to make quality posts, what with XKCDsucks being so terrible lately.ReplyDelete
Incidentally, Randall's editor should get to punch Randall in the face every time he tries to make a lame reference.

Gamer_2k4! I am enjoying your posts. Most of the time the xkcdsucks posts are irrelevant and filled with ad hominem, without really addressing why the comics are bad, etc. and even diminishing any good (if there is any to be found) about them (I was starting to think xkcdsucks was almost becoming a parody of itself.) Anyways, I do think xkcd does suck, but credit should be given where credit is due, and you seem to have a pretty balanced head! I look forward to future reviewsReplyDelete

It's cute how you think that putting "uh" before your comment makes it look like you're obviously right.ReplyDelete
Uh, the ad hominem fallacy is when you attack someone personally and try to use that as evidence of why their point is wrong. Nobody making jokes about Randall's obsession with breast milk or being creepy in general claims those are the reasons his comics are bad. They do that just to troll.

Alternately, Gamer_2k4, we can go the Kitten route and just start a new XKCD blog, linking to it every guest post until gradually we only post there.ReplyDelete

Dear Mr. Mathers. If one is on the rag one is not ovulating - the two events are normally separated by between five to fifteen days. Any methodically rhythmic Catholic girl can tell you this.

The only reason it feels empty here now is because the five of us are just kind of hovering here. If we wait, other people WILL show up and post comments of their own.

You misunderstood my meaning when Eminem used the word 'empty'.
We do not refer to lack of hovering/alighting people. We refer to the 'feeling' of emptiness brought about by the paucity of comment quality not quantity.
And if I stop posting here, Raven, I'll have to do my JOB. Man, screw that noise.ReplyDelete
Aquarians, I guess we'll just have to get the comments back on track. I'll start:

About IIT JEE Yearlong CourseEtoosindia has hired some of the best JEE faculties from Kota to ensure that the students seeking admission in the Indian Institute of Technology get appropriate guidance to crack JEE Main and Advanced. These faculties carry several years of experience and have an in-depth knowledge about the subject as well as the examination pattern.
They have designed the yearlong IIT JEE courses and delivered the video lectures available at Etoosindia keeping the course content and the pattern in mind. The lectures and course content are revised from time to time to match up to the latest standards set by the Indian Institute of Technology. We provide these IIT JEE lectures in Mobile, USB and VOD for easy access. Now IIT JEE online preparation is much better than attending classroom courses.
We, at Etoosindia, believe that a student can crack this tough entrance examination only if he is given the right guidance from the very beginning. Thus, we have designed JEE Main + Advanced Foundation Course for the students of class 9th and 10th to clear the fundamental concepts of physics, chemistry and mathematics from the onset to set a strong foundation. We also provide IIT JEE Crash Course for class 12th students to help develop a good base for all those aiming to appear for the Joint Entrance Examination in future. Our foundation and crash courses are designed in a manner that they do not only cover the IIT JEE syllabus to help lay a solid foundation for the IIT aspirants but also cover the entire syllabus to prepare the students for the CBSE examination"

We've been hit by a number of reports this morning that the Windows Phone Store is playing up and not allowing consumers to download apps and games. We're able to confirm that the issue is indeed present, with the error 805a0193 displaying when attempting to grab an app for our handset. This isn't the first (and probably not the last) time the store has fallen unwell.
We'll be the first to agree with those who feel Microsoft should update error messages to detail exactly what the issue is, in favour of useless codes that may force one to search the cloud for answers. Here's hoping the company is well on its way to a working solution and everything should be back up soon.
We've checked the Xbox LIVE status page, but there are no issues being reported with any service. Be sure to join in the conversation with other Windows phone owners over on our forms.
Are you experiencing the same issue? Be sure to sound off in the comments. Thanks to everyone who tipped us!

Web Tools Platform 2.0 Plan
- 1 Eclipse Web Tools Project DRAFT 2.0 Plan
- 1.1 Release deliverables
- 1.2 Release milestones and release candidates
- 1.3 Target Operating Environments
- 1.4 Compatibility with Other WTP Releases
- 1.5 Eclipse WTP Subprojects
- 1.6 Common goals
- 1.7 Web Standard Tools subproject
- 1.8 J2EE Standard Tools
Eclipse Web Tools Project DRAFT 2.0 Plan
Revised draft April 25, 2006 (by Tim Wagner / based on WTP Project 1.5 Plan and Eclipse Project DRAFT 3.3 Plan)
Please send comments about this draft plan to the email@example.com mailing list.
This document lays out the feature and API set for the next feature release of Eclipse Web Tools after 1.5, designated release 2.0. This document is a draft and is subject to change, we welcome all feedback.
Web Tools 2.0 will be compatible with / based on the Eclipse 3.3 Release.
To ensure the planning process is transparent and open to the entire Eclipse community, we (the Eclipse Web Tools Requirement Group & the Web Tools PMC) post plans in an embryonic form and revise them throughout the release cycle.
The first part of the plan deals with the important matters of release deliverables, release milestones, target operating environments, and release-to-release compatibility. These are all things that need to be clear for any release, even if no features were to change.
The remainder of the plan consists of plan items for the subprojects under the Eclipse Web Tools top-level project, including projects such as JSF and Dali that are currently in the incubator state. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be added to Web Tools, or some aspect of Web Tools that is to be improved. Each plan item will have its own entry in the Eclipse bugzilla database, with a title and a concise summary (usually a single paragraph) that explains the work item at a suitably high enough level so that everyone can readily understand what the work item is without having to understand the nitty-gritty detail.
With the previous release as the starting point, this is the plan for how we will enhance and improve it. Fixing bugs, improving test coverage, documentation, examples, performance tuning, usability, etc. are considered routine ongoing maintenance activities and are not included in this plan unless they would also involve a significant change to the API or feature set, or involve a significant amount of work. The intent of the plan is to account for all interesting feature work.
The current status of each plan item is noted:
High Priority plan item - A high priority plan item is one that we have decided to address for the release (committed).
Medium Priority plan item - A medium priority plan item is one that we are considering addressing for the release. Although we are actively investigating it, we are not yet in a position to commit to it, or to say that we won't be able to address it.
Low Priority plan item – A low priority plan item is one that we addressed for a release we will only address that item if one component has addressed all high and medium priority items
Deferred plan item - A reasonable proposal that will not make it in to this release for some reason is marked as deferred with a brief note as to why it was deferred. Deferred plan items may resurface as committed plan items at a later point.
Release deliverables
The release deliverables have the same form as previous releases, namely:
- Source code release for Eclipse WTP Project, available as versions tagged "R2_0" in the Eclipse WTP Project
- CVS repository
- Eclipse WTP runtime binary and SDK download with all Eclipse pre-reqs (downloadable).
- Eclipse WTP runtime binary and SDK download (downloadable).
In addition, the Eclipse WTP runtime binary and SDK will be available as part of the "Callisto '07" update site.
Release milestones and release candidates
Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals in synchronisation with the Eclipse Platform milestone releases (starting with M1) and will be compatible with Eclipse 3.3 builds. See Callisto Simultaneous Release for the Eclipse Platform schedule from 2007 on which the 2008 calendar will be based. (Note that this is not yet available, and that the dates below are simply a placeholder carried over from last year.)
The milestones and release candidates are:
* M4 - January 13, 2007 * M5 - March 3, 2007 (planned API freeeze) * M6/RC0 - April 14, 2007 (This is Feature Freeze except for JSF and Dali). (this 4/14 date is also called both RC0 and RC1 in Callisto plan). * RC1 - April 21, 2007 * RC2 - May 5, 2007 (tiny grace period where any safe fix can be made). * RC3 - May 19, 2007 (component lead approval required for all fixes) * RC4 - May 31, 2007 (planned code freeze, PMC approval required for all fixes) * RC5 - June 20, 2007 (PMC approval and adopter sign-off required for all fixes) * RC6 - Jume 28, 2007 Golden Master * Release - June 30, 2007 - WTP 1.5 Release (part of the "Callisto" joint release)
Target Operating Environments
Eclipse WTP is built on the Eclipse platform itself.
Most of the Eclipse WTP is "pure" Java™ code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on Eclipse. The 2.0 release of the Eclipse WTP Project is written and compiled against version 5 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on version 5 (aka 1.5) of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition.
Eclipse WTP is mainly tested and validated on Windows platforms, it should run on all platforms validated by the platform project (note that this link below is outdated but a new version is not yet available):
Eclipse Target Operating Environments
Servers integrated into Eclipse WTP deliverables will be tested and validated on the same platforms listed above. Tests for other platforms will be relying on the community support.
The Eclipse WTP is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user interface elements provided by the Eclipse SDK components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. Other language support, if any, will rely on the community support.
Compatibility with Other WTP Releases
Project Compatibility:
- Binary compatibility with 1.5 and 1.0 projects - users should need to take no special actions to use projects
from either of these WTP releases with the 2.0 version
- WTP 2.0 should be able to open workspaces created with WTP 1.5
- WTP 2.0 should be usable in a team environment where some team members use WTP 1.5 and team members share projects through a source code control system such a CVS or Subversions. Specifically, A WTP 1.5 should be able to create a project, check it in to the repository. A WTP 2.0 user should be able to check it out, work on it, and check it back in. A WTP 1.5 should then be able to check it back out and continue to work it on.
- By default, WTP 1.5 should work on projects created by WTP 2.0 users and shared via a repository. Artifacts created by WTP 2.0 that are consistent with 1.5 features should not break WTP 1.5, and where possible WTP 1.5 should either ignore or tolerate any new artifacts in WTP 2.0 and subsequent releases. Attempts to use (or convert to) new 2.0 functionality that cannot be made backwards compatible with 1.5 must be clearly identified in documentation.
API Compatibility:
- WTP 2.0 will preserve (public, declared) API compatibility with the 1.5 release, both in terms of syntax and behaviour
- A plug-in that is developed on WTP 1.5 and that uses no internal methods should run correctly without recompilation on WTP 2.0
- A plug-in that is developed on WTP 1.5 and that uses no internal methods should recompile without error on WTP 2.0
- WTP 2.0 should provide migration notes and adequate notification and lead time to adopters for any internal code that is removed in WTP 2.0
- WTP 2.0 should continue to provide adopters with the ability to register their code usage reports and to be consulted in any proposed changes to internal code. WTP 2.0 will take into account adopter feedback on proposed changes to internal code, but reserves the right to change internal notwithstanding that feedback.
Eclipse WTP 2.0 deliverables will be compatible with Eclipse 3.3. No special attention will give for being compatible with previous Eclipse versions.
Eclipse WTP Subprojects
The Eclipse WTP consists of four subprojects. Each subproject is covered in its own section:
Java Server Faces Tools (JSF, incubating)
AJAX Tools Framwork (incubating)
The JSF, Dali, and ATF incubators SHOULD exit incubation and become normal components in WTP 2.0. A partial list of the new WTP components is:
- JSF - org.eclipse.jst.jsf
- Dali - org.eclipse.jst.jpa
- ATF - org.eclipse.wst.js, org.eclipse.wst.ajax
Items listed reflect new features of the Web Tools Platform, or areas where existing features will be significantly reworked. Common goals are listed in the "Common goals" area.
TBD (Each item indicates the components likely affected by that work item (many items involve coordinated changes to several components). Numbers in parentheses link to bugzilla problem reports for that plan item)
Note that JSF and JPA/Dali are incubating projects at the moment. Users should expect API and tool refinements in these areas, with a likelihood for more rapid (and extensive) revisions than in the base WTP code, along with initial API declarations in the 2.0 release.
Common goals
Adopter readiness
- productization support [125751]
- improve feature split Subsystem and Features document
- improve API coverage (convert additional provisional areas to APIs)
Improved Provisioning of Third Party Content
- create remote Update Manager sites hosted by providers of third party content required by WTP to streamline the process of adopting new versions
- users should be able to acquire revisions of third party content in a more timely fashion
- begin by creating a common site at Apache for components such as Axis2, Woden, Tomcat, Geronimo
- maintain and expand current site at SourceForge as required
- create new site at ObjectWeb for Jonas
- adopt DITA for Help content
- work with DITA-OT project at SourceForge to improve integration of build process with PDE
Web Standard Tools subproject
XML Editing
- Code folding
- Improved formatting, e.g. whitespace handling, WYSIWYG (for DITA, DocBook, etc.)
- Run in Eclipse RCP
- Large document performance enhancements
Architectural harmonization
Adopt DTP. Remove all Data access tools from WTP and instead use the corresponding components from DTP. We should take a two-phase approach.
- Phase 1 - Acheive functional parity with WTP 1.5, i.e. get back to where we currently are, but using DTP.
- Phase 2 - Exploit new DTP capabilites. DTP has much broader scope than the WTP 1.5 Data tools, e.g. in connection management, server exploration. We need to do an architectural assessment of current WTP capabilities and adopt superior alternatives available in DTP.
Investigate areas of overlap with STP, especially in the areas of Web services, and ensure that existing WTP components can be extended as required by STP.
Improve integration with TPTP, especially in the area of profiling servers.
PHP Tools Project
Investigate if the Apache Web server adapter should be moved into wst.server. Investigate if other generic components currently in the PHP project should be moved in WTP.
Web Services Support
- New WS-I Profiles, e.g. RAMP
- WS Security
- WS Policy
- Axis 2.0
- WSDL 2.0 - adopt Apache Woden 1.0
WSDL is a key Web service artifact. WSDL 2.0 is the W3C standard and has many new features that align Web services with Web architecture, especially in the area of HTTP support and REST style Web services. All WTP tools that currently process WSDL 1.1 should be upgraded to handle WSDL 2.0. The integration should be seamless in the sense that the tools should understand both WSDL 1.1 and WSDL 2.0. All wsdl files will use the same file extension, i.e. *.wsdl. These tools include:
- WSDL editor - editor should detect namespace
- WSDL validator - validator should detect namespace
- Web service explorer
- Web service test tools - the WS-I test tools should be extended to support services described by WSDL 2.0 based on the W3C standard, e.g. verify the message log conforms to a WSDL 2.0 description
- Web service wizard - e.g. via integration with Axis 2.0 to support top-down, bottom-up, and client code generation based on WSDL 2.0
J2EE Standard Tools
Java EE 5
- JPA/Dali (Draft Milestone Plan)
- Java EE 5 models - the models must be upgraded to handle Java EE 5 without ANY API breakage. Existing clients MUST continue to work without recompilation. If existing clients are recompiled with the new model, then compilation errors MUST NOT occur (note: we assume that existing clients will not break in any way if they only use the published API - code that relies on internal interfaces MAY break)
- JSR 175 - support Java EE 5 specifications for annotation based programming, e.g. for EJB 3.0, JPA, Web services
- JSR 181 - Web Services
Web Services
- JSR 109 - for Web container
- support for generic, compliant runtime, e.g. hosted at GlassFish
Server Runtime
- JSR 88 Support, Advanced Server Support for one/multiple open source J2EE server
- Server runtime facet enhancements (link TBD)
- Migrate existing bundled server adapters to the remote server adapter support - our direction should be to have server providers host their own adapters as they currently do for their runtimes. Server providers should also be encourage to use the remote server runtime installation framework (currently used by Geronimo)

Find out if your server is oversold.
Find out who is on your server to see if your web hosting company is overloading your hosting or not. Hosting and server companies make claims to have the best or fastest servers and they do not. They might put too many domains on the server and you can find out by doing a reverse lookup on WhosOnMyServer.com when you enter the domain or IP address in the box below and click the lookup button.
We will display other domains hosted with adorocinema.com if available. Your reverse lookup for adorocinema.com resulted in these other domains or sub domains being hosted on the same server adorocinema.com is being hosted at.

Zachary Parker's Smart Home is in the Final Stages!
During a year-long deployment in Afghanistan in June 2012, Army medic Zachary Parker suffered injuries that resulted in the loss of his left arm, right leg, and his left leg above the knee. Now a triple amputee, he continues his rehabilitation with the support of his wife, family and friends.
Parker is a worthy recipient of a smart home built through Building for America's Bravest, a program of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which provides catastrophically injured veterans like Zachary the independence they need by installing technology that makes day to day tasks, like turning on the lights, possible with the swipe of a finger on an iPad.
Zachary's house is currently in progress in his home state of Louisiana, and with the help of Jay's Carpet One Floor & Home of Deridder, LA and Beaumont Carpet One Floor & Home of Beaumont, TX who will be donating all of the flooring installation throughout the home, he and his wife have chosen the floors for their new home.
The neutral tones in Rustic River's Compton Heights hardwood in Antler, and Relax...it's Lees carpet in Crushed Ice will complement each other perfectly. Not only is this a beautiful combination, it will also be practical for Zach's needs.

Tired of collecting all of your kids' dirty clothing that they have scattered around their room? Gathering together your spouse's dirty socks is no picnic either. Why not do yourself a favor with the right laundry hamper. Choose a plastic hamper for durability, or a canvas laundry hamper for a little bit of style. A hamper with lid keeps everything under wraps until youre ready to wash it. Laundry hampers come in so many varieties that youre bound to find something that suits your particular style and needs.
Find a Hamper with Lid, a Canvas Laundry Hamper & More
There are different laundry philosophies held by different households. Some parents like to have two laundry hampers in the laundry room, and to direct all laundry in this way. Each large laundry hamper holds either dark clothes or light laundry and all of the laundry in the house is pooled in one location. This idea is great if you can get everyone to use your laundry hampers correctly and to bring their clothing to this designated location.
For homes, like most, where this ideal is not possible, then its important o have a laundry hamper for each bedroom. A canvas laundry hamper in the kids rooms makes it easy to transport their laundry to the laundry room and creates a fun look. A hamper with lid is also a great choice for any member of the house particularly for one who doesnt remember to empty his laundry often! A hamper with lid ensures that the laundry smells remain under wraps until its time to wash the clothes.
Keeping an extra laundry hamper liner around is a great idea as well. This way, you can remove the laundry hamper with the laundry in it and just put a new laundry hamper liner in to collect the next set of clothes. Many laundry hampers are made to fit inside drawers, creating a tidy look in the bedroom or the laundry room while conveniently storing the clothes.

The beginnings of today's comprehensive print collection of around 80,000 items are to be found in the notebooks of the Künstlergesellschaft created between 1794 and 1850, which are known as the "Malerbücher". The highpoint of the relatively small group of drawings by old masters are the over 650 works by Johann Heinrich Fuseli. Particularly well represented are Swiss landscape drawings, with pieces ranging from Conrad Meyer (1618–1689) through Salomon Gessner's (1730–1788) idylls, and the atmospheric mountain images of Ludwig Hess (1760–1800) and Caspar Wolf (1735–1785) all the way to studies by Rudolf Koller (1828–1905). The best-known works held in the collection include a book of sketches by Géricault and six watercolours by Cézanne.
Alongside valuable 15th century single-leaf woodcuts the collection's holdings comprise virtually the entire print works of the Swiss Conrad Meyer (1618–1689), Salomon Gessner (1730–1788), Conrad Gessner (1764–1826), Johann Heinrich Lips (1758–1817), Ludwig Hess (1760–1800), Albert Welti, the Dutch artist Herman van Svanevelt (1600–1655), Anthonie Waterloo (1610–1690), Nicholaes Berchem (1620–1683), Allaert van Everdingen (1621–1675), Karel Dujardin (1622–1678), the German artists Johann Elias Ridinger (1698–1767), Christian Wilhelm Dietrich (1712–1774), Franz Edmund Weirotter (1730–1771), Ferdinand Kobell (1740–1799), William Hogarth (1697–1764), Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) and Honoré Daumier (1808–1879).
In the 20th century the central focus is on purchased works, with drawings, prints and collages by Lovis Corinth, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Hans Richter, Hannah Höch, Otto Meyer-Amden, Sophie Täuber-Arp, Louis Soutter, Fritz Glarner, Martin Disler, Enzo Cucchi, Felix Droese and Miriam Cahn. The most important group is formed by drawings from the estate of Ferdinand Hodler, with masterpieces from all the artist's creative periods. Another centrepiece is the comprehensive collection of works and documents acquired in the eighties and nineties relating to Dada, the movement that began in Zurich and went on to conquer the world. From 1976–1995 the emphasis in terms of purchases was placed on the Zero group, American minimalist and conceptual art, as well as Swiss, German and Italian representatives of figurative expressive art (Ausdruckskunst) of the seventies and eighties. Between 1995 and 1997 these were supplemented by groups of work containing contemporary art by artists from Britain and the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
Amongst its prints and drawings the Collection holds the more or less complete works of Marcel Broodthaers, Markus Raetz, Dieter Roth, André Thomkins and Lothar Baumgarten alongside numerous individual pieces and groups of works.

Before they conquered Beijing in 1644, the rulers of the Qing dynasty had already created a miniature version of the Forbidden City in the country's northeast. Although twelve times smaller, its inimitable design combined elements from Manchuria, Mongolia and China. In addition, the buildings that make up the Shenyang Imperial Palace, now a museum, are based on nomads' yurts.
In the past ten years, the number of visitors to Frankfurt has increased by 68 percent. In October, even more people will be arriving for the Frankfurt Book Fair. So it's a good idea to plan ahead for your visit to this lively city: As the name suggests, the Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport is just minutes from the airport. Its casual atmosphere makes it perfect for leafing through those books you just bought.

text: When Turner travelled up the Rhine into Switzerland in the summer months of 1841/42 and visited Zurich, his fame in the English art trade was based chiefly on his book illustrations and topographical series. Working from on-the-spot sketches, he produced so-called "sample studies" for private clients. The "Fete Day" is the second of the two Zurich panoramas that he produced in the 1840s, both depicting the local populace in the foreground drawn as if by magic to the lake and the light. It was painted in 1845 for the English collector W.G. Windus and has been in the possession of the Kunsthaus Zürich since 1976.

Way back in the ancient year of 2003, newsstands overflowed with tech magazines proclaiming that it would be the Year of the Tablet. Microsoft made a big deal of the touch capabilities of Windows and computer makers pumped out a slew of laptops with displays that swiveled around, converting into tablets. Thing is, that touch revolution didn't revolutionize much of anything. Windows continued to be kind of crappy for touchscreens, the "tablets" manufacturers made rarely appealed to normal people, and Microsoft didn't make many bold leaps forward.
Fast forward to 2010 and the debut of the iPad. In the months leading up to its debut, a flurry of activity in the tablet market (fueled by rumors) produced a few slates of interest. The iPad still wowed us all. It took a couple of years, but Microsoft finally answered Apple's challenge with the Surface tablets. Running a touch-friendly operating system that works as well on a normal computer or a tablet (or so the company says), the Surface Pro is the kind of tablet the market was waiting for, in theory. But on close inspection and comparison, which of these tablets is best suited to your needs?
(Editor's Note: We've had a few readers complain that comparing Surface Pro to iPad isn't fair. We disagree, and believe there are individuals who may be debating between these two devices. But please check out our Surface RT vs. iPad vs. Nexus 10 piece if you're strictly looking for an ARM-based tablet.)
The first thing you look at on a tablet is the screen. There are a lot of numbers we can throw at you to highlight difference between the iPad and the Surface Pro, but numbers don't tell the whole story. Putting them side by side, you probably won't be able to tell which one is more pixel dense or has the higher resolution. What you might notice more is that the Surface Pro has a wider screen than the iPad. This means bar-less widescreen HD video watching. With the iPad's aspect ratio you can fit more text on the screen in landscape mode than you can on the Surface, meaning less scrolling, but your videos will shrink a little, or have their sides chopped off like an old-school television. The Surface's display is really bright, which makes the screen pop. However, it's not as vibrant as the iPad and the colors aren't as rich. Text is crisp on both.
Though they both have great HD screens, the iPad's display is higher quality.
Touch performance on both is about the same. The Surface Pro does pack an extra feature though: stylus compatibility. The tablet comes with an active digitizer pen with WACOM technology. This offers more accuracy than a capacitive stylus that can be used on any touchscreen. It also helps with palm rejection – the Surface Pro will ignore the hand resting on the screen if you use the stylus to draw, mark up documents, and take notes. Given Windows 8's desktop legacy apps, it's also useful for navigating non-touch friendly menus and icons. Sadly, you'll probably lose the pen because there's no slot to store it on the tablet.
Both the iPad and Surface Pro are good-looking tablets for different reasons. More important is how they each feel in the hand.
The Surface Pro's design is attractive and the build quality high, but the ergonomics are problematic. To start, the edges have a tendency to dig into hands the longer you use it thanks to the relatively hefty 2-pound weight. The default orientation is landscape, so the button placement is designed with that in mind. Once you turn the tablet to different orientations, the buttons start to get in the way. Plus, using the Surface in portrait is more awkward than doing so on the iPad, partly because of the 16:9 aspect ratio. The tablet is longer and the balance can feel off when holding it on the bottom edge.
The iPad's default orientation is portrait and, though wide in comparison, balances well in the hand, even when typing. The aluminum back isn't warm or soft, but the tablet is comfortable to hold. The back tapers just enough, the edges aren't too sharp or biting, and the 1.4-pound weight is light enough to not tire an arm out too quickly.
Chances are if you're trying to decide between the Surface Pro and the iPad you're doing so because you want a tablet that can do more than just play games and videos.
A robust ecosystem of apps sprung up around the iPad even before Apple revealed it to the world. Owners have their choice of dozens of office suites, text editors, photo editors, video editors, and many more in the App Store. And the hardware inside the iPad can handle a lot. Though apps are getting better with every month, the iPad's limitations make getting work done difficult. The lack of universal file explorer, the inability of all apps to talk to each other and share files, and a complete lack of multitasking can make getting simple things done a frustrating experience.
The iPad's sole, proprietary port is also a hindrance. In order to connect a camera, memory card, USB flash drive or cord, you need an adapter.
Apple's baby can be a good productivity partner with some help. A mountain of wireless keyboards and mice exist in the iPad hardware ecosystem, plus third-party styluses and docks that extend the tablet's usefulness. And if your productivity needs are simple, the available tools make it possible to edit and create without having to touch a real computer.
Microsoft's Surface Pro is a real computer. It takes the form of a tablet yet doesn't suffer from the same restrictions of the form factor. Since it runs full Windows 8, you can run any program that works with Windows 7 or Vista. You won't run into compatibility issues with files, messed up formatting, and limited tools. Windows 8's touch friendly interface replicates some of the iPad's issues. Stick to Desktop mode and you get the same interface (almost) as Windows 7, including the easy multitasking and window switching.
The full-size USB 3.0 port means you don't have to buy an extra adapter to connect peripherals. You may want to invest in a USB dock or splitter, though.
The included stylus is a big boost to productivity, as are the two keyboard covers made specifically to go with it. You have your choice of a smart cover/keyboard without mechanical keys or one with them and a touchpad. The touchpad is less than ideal and you're better off just using the touchscreen. The keyboard offers a decent typing experience without adding too much bulk to the proceedings.
Apps and Games
In the mobile tablet world, the iPad usually has the advantage over other tablets due to the sheer number of apps made specifically for the platform and the robust media options available. However, just as with the last category, the Surface Pro has the advantage of being a real computer in tablet shape. That means owners aren't limited to what's available in one App Store and content restrictions are far less of a problem.
The Surface's Pro's big weakness is that programs running in Desktop mode aren't made for the touch-first experience
Almost anything you want to do on a tablet you can do on a PC, and most apps just replicate existing Windows programs/functions already available. However, using desktop apps can be a hassle. They aren't always touch friendly.
The Surface's Pro's big weakness is that programs running in Desktop mode aren't made for the touch-first experience, and it can be frustrating to navigate them with just a finger. Sure, you can break out the stylus or a mouse. That's an extra thing to carry around and worry about (especially since there's no internal port for he stylus). Programs don't always scale correctly on the Surface Pro, and the experience isn't always ideal. Still, the ability to load almost any Windows program is a powerful one.
Games are an issue unto themselves. The Surface has Ultrabook internals, and Intel's integrated graphics are fine for casual games. Anything more complex requires escalating sacrifices in quality. Many games for the iPad are casual, but some more complex titles utilize the tablet's graphics power to deliver an exceptional experience. Again, iPad's games will always run. With Surface, it's more of a crapshoot.
Music and Movies
The Surface Pro returns to flat out dominance here. The iPad is a great media machine thanks to the vast iTunes catalog and the number of apps for playing music and video and reading books and magazines. Pretty much every source for media the iPad can access is available for the Surface Pro, too. You can even run iTunes on it if you want.
Windows PCs can access Hulu without a special app (or needing to pay for Hulu Plus), Amazon's video catalog, even Google Play media. Thanks to Flash, Web media is accessible with little to no fuss. You can even read books from your Nook or Kindle account. Want to load your own video or music? You probably don't have to worry about codecs or incompatibility. Double click and it plays.
At the same time, iPad has apps that will replicate most functionality, sometimes more effectively than the Web, and certainly more cleanly.
This one is tougher to compare since the iPad and the Surface Pro run on different types of processors. Both are capable of smooth and speedy performance. The iPad is top among ARM-based machines. The Surface Pro runs like an Ultrabook since it utilizes the same processor.
One thing worth noting: that Intel Core i5 processor and the other components get awfully hot when you push the Surface with intense tasks like 3D gaming. The iPad doesn't have the same heat issues (thanks to the cool, efficient chip inside).
Battery Life
The efficient ARM-based chip inside the iPad helps it to last for over 10 of normal use, including watching a lot of video. This is the tablet you want with you on the trans-Atlantic flight. The Surface Pro will last about 7 hours, max. This might be due, in part, to the Intel chip inside, but the biggest culprit is a relatively small battery.
The iPad comes in four different storage capacities: 16, 32, 64, and 128GB. The Surface Pro comes in two: 64 and 128GB. If you're going for the Surface Pro, you should opt for the 128GB version. The 64GB version's SSD is almost completely filled before you take it out of the box, leaving around 13GB for your programs, media, and documents. Not a lot, even if the Surface is a secondary device. You won't get to fill up every last megabyte on the iPad, either, though iOS and pre-loaded apps take up less of the overall percentage of the memory, even down at 16GB.
The iPad starts at $500 for the 16GB version and goes up to $700 and $800 for the 64GB and 128GB models, respectively.
The Surface Pro costs $900 for the 64GB and $1000 for the 128GB. This price includes the stylus but not the keyboard cover.
Is the Surface Pro worth the $200 premium over the iPad? That really depends on your needs.
The Surface is a tablet computer, a full-fledged PC in slate form. On the productivity front, it rules. And if media is your thing, there's way less hassle involved in dealing with a Windows machine. However, there's no getting over the heat issues, the ergonomic missteps, the poor battery life, and the need to buy a thousand dollar machine in order to have enough space for your stuff.
The iPad may not have access to every program or every media content source, but it's hooked up with enough. The more comfortable design and better display coupled with long battery life a great performance make it a great tablet choice. Yes, it's not as good on productivity as the Surface, and it shouldn't be your first choice for a work-only slate. As a companion to a laptop or desktop, it gives owners some flexibility in both work and play.

Several of our clients purchase SBA ready business plans and are not 100% sure the way the process work. We though we should help shed some light on what they are, how they work and the steps in getting the loan.

SBA loans are term loans from a bank or commercial loaning institution of up to ten years, with the Little Business Administration (SBA) promising as much as 80 percent of the loan primary.
Who are SBA lending options for?
SBA loans are for established small businesses capable of repaying a loan from cashflow, but whose principals may be buying longer term to lessen payments or may have inadequate corporate or personal assets to collateralize the money.
How many lending options can be found?
Vast. The Compact Business Administration guarantees some $12 billion per yr in loans.
Best Make use of of Loans:
Purchasing equipment, financing the getting a business and in certain instances, working capital. The Small Business Administration assurance can help borrowers get over the problems of a weak loan application associated with inadequate collateral or limited operating history.
What are the fees or cost?
Comparatively inexpensive when looking at other loan sources. Maximum allowed interest levels vary from highs of excellent plus 6. 5 ratio take into account excellent plus 2. 75 ratio points, though lenders can and often do fee less. These rates may be higher or less than rates on non-guaranteed lending options. What's more, banks making SBA loans cannot fee "commitment fees" for uniting to create a loan, or prepayment fees on loans under 15 year (a prepayment penalty kicks in for longer loans), which means the effective rates for these loans may be, in some instances, superior to those for regular loans.
Ease of Buy:
Challenging. Although The Little Business Administration has proven streamlined approaches to loan applications, conventional SBA warranty procedures and protocols create a significant documentation and administrative challenge for some debtors.
Range of Funds Commonly Available:
The Small Organization Administration guarantees up to $1, 000, 000 of loan principal.
Measures in Finding an SBA Financial loan
Whilst most banks, as well as select commercial financial institutions, offer SBA financial loans, there are two particular categories worth knowing about. These are Certified Loan providers and Preferred Lenders, both of which have joined into contractual relationships with the SBA and legally participate in the Qualified Lender/Preferred Lender programs (CLP/PLP).
These lender programs were designed to provide better response to borrowers; they attempt goal by positioning additional tasks on the lenders for analysis, building, approval, servicing and liquidation of loans, within The Small Business Administration's recommendations. About 850 lenders are eligible for the SBA's Certified Loan company Program, having met certain criteria, the main of which, from the borrower's point of view, is comprehensive experience in SBA loan-guarantee processing. Authorized lenders account for about 4 percent of all SBA business-loan guarantees. As the certified bank does indeed much of the SBA's work, the agency offers turnaround times during the three business days for processing the application.
Roughly 450 lenders meet preferred lender standards. This group processes approximately 21 percent of loans. Preferred lenders have full lending power and because of this will offer an one-day turnaround on completed loan requests.
If you are seeking a loan, your very best gamble is to work with a certified or preferred lender. The SBA-guarantee process is tricky best case scenario, and you want a lender who may have been through it more than once
These lender programs were built to provide better response to debtors; they accomplish this goal by positioning additional duties on the lenders for analysis, structuring, approval, providing and liquidation of lending options, within The Small company Administration's guidelines. About 850 lenders qualify for the SBA's Certified Lender Program, having met certain criteria, the main of which, from the borrower's perspective, is intensive experience in SBA loan-guarantee processing. Certified lenders consideration for about 4 percent of all SBA business-loan guarantees.

Prior to hard strike of the fantastic Recession, it was a lot simpler to get business loans. You will need to meet certain requirements prior to the lender can grant the loan. Presented below are 7 steps that you may want to adhere to when apply for business loans. Read more.

Before you even require the loan, you may want to develop a relationship with the lender. The main people should get familiar with your business. Keep in brain that lenders like to do business with trust worthy people. Therefore, let them know as much as possible about your business.
Purpose of the money
You may want to choose the aim you applied for the money for. Make sure you are going to get a loan for a good purpose. Pertaining to instance, you can get a loan to buy equipment, property or software. However, it's not a good idea to get a loan to financing losses in order to get insignificant business assets.
Business needs
You may want to make an assessment of how much money your business needs. If you have a little business, you may well not want to obtain a huge loan. However, be sure you don't underestimate the money you will need to keep your business running. Both underestimating and overestimating can cause problems down the highway.

Non-bank lenders is another option that you may consider. In that case there are region specific lenders that include banking institutions and other institutes that are enthusiastic about financial development in those areas.

When you have submitted the mandatory documents, you may have to wait for 12-15 to 30 days for a response from the lender. You should check in on a weekly basis for an update. Usually, lenders may require additional documents before granting the loan.
Lending options like the short term and the long-term have a league of advantages and disadvantages, and the majority of these rely upon the needs of individual borrowers.

Woman to Woman: Can You Afford to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom?
By Catherine Ryan
Leaving the workforce to be a stay-at-home mom might seem risky these days. But it can be a good decision, particularly if your spouse has a secure job.
If you're deciding whether you can afford to be a stay-at-home mom, consider these factors: finances, your partner's support and your own emotional well-being.
Here's how to weigh the risks and rewards:
1. Finances
First, try to determine the security of your partner's job and income level. Would you have enough resources to withstand a layoff or pay cut for a while if your partner lost his job? Next, figure out how much money your household will truly lose if you stay at home. Tally up all the expenses directly tied to your job (e.g., child care, transportation, clothing, dry cleaning, lunches out) and subtract that number from your take-home pay. (Don't forget to include all the take-out dinners you've picked up because you haven't had time to cook!)
What's left is the amount of actual loss you'll sustain. Once you have that number, see if you can compensate for the difference by cutting back on expenses or making up the difference -- either by picking up part-time or at-home jobs, or your partner working overtime. You may be surprised to find that when you factor in all the expenses tied to your job, the financial impact of staying home isn't as great as you thought.
2. Partner Support
Deciding if you can afford to be a stay-at-home mom is a choice you and your partner need to make together, so you should both be in sync about whatever you choose. Finances are only one factor you need to discuss and plan for in advance; also find out how your partner feels about you staying home and agree on the arrangements.
Some questions to address:
- What does each of you feel is best for your family?
- How long do you plan to stay home? Is this a long- or short-term move?
- Are you both willing to cut back on expenses if necessary?
- Is your partner able and willing to take on extra hours to make up for lost income if needed?
- Are you able and willing to find another source of income, such as part-time work, that can make up the difference?
- How will you divvy up household responsibilities now that you'll be home more?
- Will you remain flexible to reconsider your decision if you need to?
3. Emotional Health and Happiness
You may think that being a stay-at-home mom will be best for your children, but will you like it too? The most common complaints of stay-at-home moms involve loneliness and a lower sense of self. The isolation of being at home with only your kids for company can be quite a shock, especially if you're used to working full time. And the loss of a title and job affiliation can create an identity crisis.
How will you feel about not earning your own money or not being financially independent of your partner? Will you worry about finances or being unable to pick up your career later on? Studies show that a mother's happiness has a bigger effect on her child's well-being than does her presence at home.
It's important to remember that being an at-home mom doesn't have to be all or nothing. Many women find ways to work from home, or they keep a hand in their careers by freelancing, taking on small projects or picking up one shift a month. You can also do things to keep yourself "work ready," in case you need or want to re-enter the job market later on. Volunteer opportunities build skills, workshops and classes keep you current, and joining a professional group maintains your connections. Not only will these external activities help prepare you to return to the workplace, they could mean you won't have a chance to feel lonely!
