Minnesota Government Update
Back to News & Events
January 23, 2009
Minnesota Budget Update
Governor Tim Pawlenty said Thursday that the budget he will present next week does not include tax increases and contains few rises in fees. The Governor plans to eliminate a projected $5 billion deficit through a package of cuts and accounting shifts, such as changes in payment schedules and a historic low in fee increases. He previewed the budget to reporters in his Capitol office, stating that the bad economy calls for dramatic change.
Pawlenty's budget gives the Democrats, who control the Minnesota Legislature, a starting point for this tough and lengthy task of tackling a near $5 billion shortfall this session. DFL legislators have promised to hold hearings around the state on the Governor's budget proposals and will eventually release their own plan for balancing the budget through the next biennium.
State legislative leaders expect a federal stimulus package to help with rebuilding Minnesota's economy. On Thursday, Minnesota received news that the federal stimulus package being shaped in Washington could bring $3.2 billion to the state, amounting to about 10 percent of Minnesota's total budget. $3.2 billion is enough to pay for everything the state spends on public safety, prisons, the environment, energy, agriculture, veterans, job development, all state agencies, transportation and natural resources for two years. When it arrives, the federal money is expected to come with definite strings attached, including detailed requirements for how it can be spent and required documentation for transparency. The estimate from the National Conference of State Legislatures breaks the money down into numerous categories, including K-12 education, construction, child care, clean water, drinking water, Medicaid and even weatherization.
A $3 billion aid package would only cushion Minnesota from the state's rising deficit. The state's projected deficit for 2010-11 is $4.8 billion as of November, but the economy has spiraled downward since then, and the shortfall could reach $6 billion or more. Recent reports show that Minnesota is approaching 7 percent unemployment, with job losses in nearly every sector.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty said the federal fiscal stimulus will be welcomed but that the short-term outlook does not look good. "We're in economic collapse," Pawlenty said. "The job numbers have been terrible for a while and will continue to be terrible until the economy begins to turn around."
Pawlenty warned that the budget deficit will probably get worse before it gets better, and Minnesota is likely to see a further short-term deficit in the current budget that runs through June. House and Senate Republicans called for a 5-year business tax holiday for companies that create jobs by expanding or relocating to the state. Pawlenty said he supports the concept but doesn't want to create unequal tax treatment between competing businesses. He said the focus on jobs is critical.
Senate Recount Update
Al Franken's effort to block Norm Coleman's lawsuit over the U.S. Senate recount was rejected by the three-judge panel on Thursday. The trial regarding the U.S. Senate recount in Minnesota is scheduled to begin Monday at the Minnesota Justice Center in St. Paul.
Republican Norm Coleman asked the three-judge panel Thursday to order inspectors to visit 86 precincts around the state to re-examine ballots for possible double-counting and other irregularities. Attorneys for Democrat Al Franken opposed the proposal, saying it came too late for the trial on Coleman's challenge, scheduled to start Monday. Earlier this month, the state Canvassing Board certified the recount results, which gave Franken a 225-vote lead.
Hundreds of votes could be in play in the 86 precincts, which include 22 that Coleman cited earlier as ones where votes might have been counted twice. Most of those were in Democratic-leaning areas of Minneapolis. Earlier this week, the Coleman campaign had expressed a desire for a reconsideration of as many as 11,000 rejected absentee ballots around the state. The re-examination his campaign seeks would involve three inspectors, one from each campaign, and a nonpartisan inspector going to precincts and taking another look at specific ballots, avoiding inconsistencies from county to county. Unresolved disagreements over ballots would be brought to the panel for resolution at trial.
The panel also rejected Franken's attempt to limit any court review to verifying math and other technicalities of the recount and canvass, allowing the judges to consider Coleman claims that some votes in Democratic areas were counted twice, that some absentee ballots from Republican-leaning areas were wrongly rejected and that there were other irregularities.
Franken had argued that state law and the U.S. Constitution sharply restricted any lawsuit over the results of a U.S. Senate election. But the panel disagreed, saying a court's review of an election "is not limited to the purely ministerial task of ensuring that the tallies from the canvassing board are free from mathematical error."
2010 Gubernatorial Update
Former U.S. Senator Mark Dayton filed papers with the state on Friday to launch his campaign for governor in 2010, joining a growing list of DFLers seeking the office. Dayton, 61, is a Minneapolis DFLer who served one term in the U.S. Senate and did not seek reelection. Dayton said he will begin an exploratory campaign to listen to citizen concerns and seek support.
Several other DFLers have expressed interest in running for governor in 2010. Five of them have filed necessary paperwork: Sen. John Marty of Roseville; Sen. Tom Bakk of Cook; Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner; Rep. Paul Thissen of Minneapolis; and frequent candidate Ole Savior. Others mentioned as possible DFL candidates include House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher of Minneapolis; Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak; St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman; former House Minority Leader Matt Entenza of St. Paul; and Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark of St. Cloud.
Job Losses Rise in Minnesota
Minnesota employment officials said today that the state's manufacturers, construction firms, retailers and other employers cut 11,800 jobs in December, raising the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent, one of the highest rates in many years. In addition, state and federal officials announced that they had revised Minnesota's November job loss numbers upward, saying the state lost 13,366 more jobs during that month than previously believed.
Minnesota lost 55,400 jobs in 2008, or 2 percent of its 3 million jobs, the same job loss rate for the nation as a whole. The U.S. lost 524,000 jobs last month, which pushed the unemployment rate to 7.2 percent. Transportation, utilities and trade lost 5,300 jobs, while government, manufacturing, and professional services lost a respective 2,900, 2,900 and 1,600 positions. Hospitality, construction and financial services lost 1,400, 1,110 and 600 jobs, respectively.
Only two sectors—health services and education—reported job gains for the month, but they added just 4,100 jobs, not enough to offset much of the overall decline.
Minnesota Cuts Health and Human Services Budget
The Minnesota Departments of Health (MDH) and Human Services (DHS) is expected to lose $7.7 million in administrative and operational costs for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. However, neither department will have to layoff anyone right now because of work-schedule changes and other money-saving moves made by the two state agencies, who employ a total of 8,500 employees.
MDH and DHS are cutting agency costs by $1.7 million and $6 million, respectively, to help meet the budget shortfall. Craig Acomb, the chief financial officer for DHS, stated Wednesday at a Capitol hearing before the Senate Health and Human Services Budget Division that MDH and DHS are attempting to work with the budget cuts without laying off any employees. At the hearing, MDH and DHS officials testified about the impact of unallotment on the agencies following December revenue projections that the state is facing a nearly $5.3 billion budget shortfall.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty cut $73 million of DHS funding December 19 as part of an effort to cut state spending by $426.3 million to balance the State budget by June 30. DHS spokeswoman Terry Gunderson said the $6 million in cost-cutting represents DHS' portion of $40 million in unspent department funds that Pawlenty wanted to help plug the deficit gap. Jayne Rankin, DHS budget director, and Acomb could deal with further budget reductions in early March, when state officials present a new revenue forecast for the rest of 2009 and the next two-year budget cycle.
State Sen. Linda Berglin, DFL-Minneapolis and chairwoman of the committee, told colleagues and those testifying before the Senate panel that immediate cuts for fiscal 2009 will be rough on Minnesota, excluding the $4.8 billion shortfall projected for the 2010-11 biennium.
Carbon Intensity Reduction Bill Heard
The Senate Energy, Utilities, Technology and Communications Committee met Thursday to discuss a bill establishing standards to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels. The bill authored by Senator Kathy Sheran (DFL-Mankato) calls for a reduction in the carbon intensity of the fuels for sale in Minnesota by a minimum of ten percent over the ten year period from 2011 through 2020. While no exclusive methods are recommended to achieve this reduction, Sheran cited changes in production, extraction processes, or blending high-carbon intensity fuels with low-carbon intensity fuels such as biofuels.
Promoters of this legislation argue that bill will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 36 million tons by the year 2020. The bill, they said, could have an impact by inspiring innovations in biofuel technologies which could lead to an increase in "green jobs" and would create sustainable economies in rural communities.
Diane Schmidt, Vice President of the Koch Companies Public Sector, said that this bill could increase consumer costs, destabilize state fuel supplies and negatively affect local industries that import and refine crude oil.

The Presidential Candidates on Science & Technology
by Anthony - posted 11:21 am, September 15, 2008
ScienceDebate2008.com is an organization that started as an idea and group of 6 people less than a year ago, and has grown 38,000 strong by latest count – including nearly every major American scientific organization there is. Their goal was to bring science and technology into the political discussion.
As a group, they've come up with a list of 14 questions that they felt were most important in the science and technology fields, given the current political climate and challenges we face as a nation. They include topics like climate change, energy, genetics, stem cell research, space, and so on. They then submitted the questions to the candidates to see where each side stands.
Obama's campaign had supplied answers about two weeks ago – and the McCain campaign has submitted theirs just this morning, so now we can see the responses quite literally side by side. With all the mud-slinging and lack of actual issues talk that's been going on since the conventions, it's pretty refreshing to see both of the candidates talk policy for a moment.
Believe it or not, the candidates actually agree on some of the topics. They give very similar answers to the climate change question, are both big proponents of NASA, and surprisingly have some of the same ideas on national security (at least in this context), but they differ on energy, and most obviously, on stem cell research. Rather than "spoil" any more, why not head over to ScienceDebate2008 and read it yourself?

Update 12/7/15 00.30am (Tz) – After the three candidates made short speeches to the CCM National Congress and votes were cast, the meeting has been called off for the night. It will continue from 10am local time tomorrow (Sunday), at which point the results of the vote will be announced.
CCM has just announced the final three candidates for the party's presidential nomination: John Magufuli, Amina Salum Ali and Asha-Rose Migiro:
1) John Magufuli 2) Asharose Migoro 3) Amina Salum Ali #KaribuDodoma UMOJA NI USHINDI
— Chama Cha Mapinduzi (@ccm_tanzania) July 11, 2015
- The number of votes cast for each of the final five candidates is
- to be as follows:
- Magufuli 290
- Amina 284
- Migiro 280
- Makamba 124
- Membe 120
This is not an outcome that many had predicted. Membe was among the favourites, and Makamba was said to have strong support within the party's decision making bodies.
The cynics are suggesting that Lowassa has used his influence in NEC to ensure that the two strongest candidates are eliminated, making it easier for him to come through as an opposition candidate. Given that Lowassa clearly has considerable support among NEC membership, they may well be right.
If so, it is a strategy that could backfire. With the full backing of Tanzania's most well established and experienced party in CCM, Magufuli, Amina and Migiro are all candidates who could do well.
Equally, Lowassa may not find it easy to find an opposition party who will have him. The Ukawa coalition are selecting their candidate at this very moment, and it is unlikely that Lowassa would be able to satisfy ACT-Wazalendo's requirement for party leaders to be transparent about their income and assets. Nevertheless, that still leaves around a large number of previously minor parties he could adopt as his own between now and the election.
Leaving Lowassa aside, there's a gender component to celebrate here: Tanzania's leading political party has chosen two strong and capable women among the final three candidates for the party's presidential nomination. Tanzania has never before been this close to having a female president.
The next step is for the 2,455-member CCM National Congress to vote to select one of Magufuli, Migiro and Ali to be the party's presidential candidate. This meeting is expected to begin any moment now, and to conclude tonight. It will be broadcast live on TV within Tanzania and online. But as the last few days have shown, the timetable could very easily change.
Finally, here's the latest CCM graphic:

Problem with Cursor shape in VIM (djgpp MS-DOS Version)
Expand Messages
- Hello all,I sometimes use the djgpp port of VIM 6.0 on an old MS-DOS
machine and encountered a problem with the cursor shape in
relation to the VIM-mode. This problem only occurs only with the
djgpp-version (even after applying patch #073), but not with the
Win32 console or GVIM versions. It is new in Version 6.0.Changing from normal mode to command line in "djgpp-VIM" mode
with ":" or "/" the cursor preserves it "block shape" (as
expected), if I try to insert something by moving left with the
[Left] arrow key, the cursor changes to the "underline" shape (as
expected). After pressing [Enter] to execute the command line,
the cursor remains in "underline" shape (not expected in
normal-mode), only after applying [i] [ESC] she corsor shows in
block shape as expected for normal mode.This is a little irritating, as the user of VIM associates the
underline-shape cursor with insert mode.Is anyone aware of a patch, I hven't seen one!
Best wishes for the New Year to all.V. Kiefel

SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- More than 700 people participated in the ALS SuperHero Dash at Phalen Park Saturday, and this year the masked and caped runners had a medical breakthrough to celebrate.
On Friday the ALS Association announced the FDA has approved a new drug, Radicava, for the treatment of ALS. The drug has been demonstrated to slow the decline of physical function in ALS patients by 33 percent, according to MT Pharma which submitted the drug for approval. It's the second drug ever approved by the FDA for the treatment of ALS. The first, riluzole, was approved in 1995.
"It's extremely encouraging--it's exciting," said Samantha Lee, 19, whose father is confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak, after being diagnosed with ALS in 2015. "Dad has said from the beginning of this, 'I know I'm going to die of this, but I want to be the last person in my family to die of this.'"
Lee says her grandmother and great uncle died of ALS. Lee was surrounded by 200 family members and friends Saturday who participated in the 5K in support of her father, Jack Lee. The group wore blue capes with the logo: "Jack's Pals." Friends and family of Jack Lee raised more than $72,000 for the fight against ALS, according to the ALS Association.
In total the 2017 ALS SuperHero Dash raised $120,000 for the fight against ALS.
ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a neurodegenerative disease. Cells in the body that control movement die off, causing the victim to lose function in the body. Patients have about three to five years to live after the first symptom of weakness starts, according to Dr Ezgi Tiryaki, a neurologist at the University of Minnesota.
Tiryaki says this latest medical breakthrough will lead to others.
"As we discover more and more targets for this disease and more and more treatments, I think it will benefit the ALS population at large," said Tiryaki.
Tiryaki says Radicava will likely be available to patients by August this year. The drug, given through IV, will cost about $1,000 per infusion, according to Tiryaki.

Johanneaburg - The rand firmed against the dollar on Wednesday after Chinese growth came in just above expectations, but it failed to take big strides as the data was not enough to quell fears about a slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.
The rand remained within the previous session's levels, after China's first-quarter GDP data showed the economy grew at its slowest pace in 18 months.
Investors are also waiting for domestic retail sales data due at 11:00 GMT, which will give a clue about the growth prospects in South Africa's struggling economy. The data is expected to show February sales growth down by almost half from that of January.
A looming long weekend is expected to keep the rand in sideways trade, with local markets closed on Friday and Monday. The rand gained 0.2 percent against the dollar to 10.5405 by 0630 GMT.
"Dollar/rand posted a seven day high, to keep us looking for a break above 10.69, the high from earlier this month. However, the breakout might only occur next week as the risks are for a lacklustre move into the holiday weekend," said Judy Padayachee, a technical strategist for Barclay Africa, adding she expected a 10.50-10.59 trading range for the session.
Yields on government bonds tracked the rand and dropped two basis points on the 2015 yield to 6.81 percent and nudged down one basis point to 8.465 percent on the benchmark 2026 issue.

TOKYO, April 9 (Reuters) - Fujitsu Ltd. (6702.T) said on Monday it has halted plans to make 1.8-inch hard drives as handheld device makers are more interested in flash drives for storage.
The Japanese chips-to-computers conglomerate had initially planned to begin production of 1.8-inch hard drives, used in ultra-portable notebooks and digital media players like Apple Inc.'s (AAPL.O) iPod, in the first half of the current business year that began April 1.
But makers are now looking at flash memory drives as a lighter and faster - albeit more expensive - alternative to hard drives, which come with lengthy start-up times.
"We want to see if the market tips toward flash, or if it stays with hard drives," said Fujitsu spokesman Masao Sakamoto.
Falling prices for 2.5-inch hard drives have hurt profit margins at Fujitsu, which competes against industry leader Seagate Technology STX.N and Western Digital Corp. WDC.N.
Makers of smaller 1.8-inch hard drives include rivals like Toshiba Corp. (6502.T) and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (005930.KS).
Fujitsu shares inched up 0.4 percent to 830 yen in morning trade, underperforming Tokyo's electrical machinery subindex .IELEC.T, which rose 1.25 percent.

Fairmont Minnesota Hotels
Fairmont is located in southern Minnesota
and currently has over 10 thousand residents.
Room Rate Analysis:
The room prices for the hotels in Fairmont Minnesota are seasonal not unlike Orlando and Las Vegas. The best hotel room rates in Fairmont, as in most Minnesota cities, are found during the winter months and the highest rates occur in the summer and early fall months. There is no weekend or weekday bias where rooms have higher rates on the weekends or weekdays.
Next Day versus Next Week - Next day reservations versus reservations made one week in advance do not suffer from increased rates at most of the economy class hotels.
Same Day versus 3-4 Weeks in Advance - When you book rooms in Fairmont 3-4 weeks in advance there is not much of an advantage in the cost of rooms at several of the hotels in Fairmont but there are bargains at some of the hotels such as Radisson, Best Western and the Holiday Inns.
Regardless of when you book a hotel room we offer the lowest possible rates for the hotels, motels and inns located in (3 hotels) and (11 hotels) near Fairmont Minnesota.

The PPV poster features Triple H in an orange prison jumpsuit walking down a cellblock with other prisoners in the background.
Live Audio Wrestling, part of The Fight Network, in their daily news update on Pro Wrestling today has the Canadian numbers for Raw on The Score from Monday night, reporting that the show did 289,000 viewers, one of the highest numbers the show has done since the move from TSN. It is the third news item from the top in the daily report. It also gives a possible explanation as to why the USA Network number was so low, as Nelson has a new formula for calculating DVR numbers and it may be the reason for the low numbers.
A charity auction is being held and the winner will not only get the chance to hang out with Traci Brooks, Eric Young, James Storm and Disco Inferno but they will also get to play pool with former Olympic Skater Tonya Harding. Just watch out for any Cue shots to the knee cap.

Is Khloe Kardashian dating another NBA star?
She has a type, doesn't she! Khloe Kardashian just may have a new man in her life in the form of basketball star Tristan Thompson.
The reality star and the Cleveland Cavaliers stud have been spotted all over Los Angeles over the last few days, and on Thursday they were photographed hanging out at a mansion in Beverly Hills.
Celebrity website TMZ has photos that show the two of them hanging out at the home.
Last weekend, the two were at L.A. hotspot Bootsy Bellows nightclub together and left several minutes apart, avoiding the hoopla of getting photographed together by the awaiting paparazzi.
As of now, no one is commenting yet on whether these two are dating or simply friends. Clearly, though, Khloe has an attraction to professional athletes (which she admits).
In January she was asked by Howard Stern if she had a type. "I guess," she said, "I mean, especially now that I'm athletic, I like athletes. I like to be active."
Last summer, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star was dating Houston Rockets stud James Harden, but they split shortly after her estranged husband, ex NBA stud Lamar Odom, nearly died of an overdose at a Nevada brothel.
She was also linked to NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. earlier this year after they both attended Drake's Memorial Day bash. Photos emerged of Khloe sitting on his lap, and they were in Las Vegas together a few days prior to that. A source at the party said they definitely seemed into each other.
They both denied any kind of romance, which many people on the Internet think could be a blessing for Odell, considering the so-called "Kardashian Curse" -- James Harden had a dismal season last year after their romance; Lamar's drug issues are well documented; former Minnesota Timberwolves basketballer Rashad McCants, who she also dated in 2008, is a free agent these days; and former running back boyfriend Derrick Ward has left the NFL altogether.

Every year, thousands of pilgrims, tourists and spectators flock to the banks of the Mekong River in south east Asia to witness the phenomenon of bung fai paya nak, more commonly known as the Naga Fireballs or the Mekong Lights.
Around the night of Wan Ok Phansa (the last day of Buddhist Lent in late-October), balls of glowing orange light are said to ascend from the water's depths into the sky, reaching altitudes of up to 200m before mysteriously vanishing.
RELATED: The surreal statues of northern Thailand's Sala Kaew Ku park
The locals are adamant that the spectacle is the work of Naga, the enigmatic sea creature who protects the waters.
Sceptics have suggested that the balls of light could be caused by Laotian soldiers on the other side of the Delta firing tracer rounds into the night sky. Such disbelievers claim that the sounds of the shots would be drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.
Meanwhile, a complex scientific explanation has been sought involving the flammability of rising phosphine gas, accumulated in the marshy banks and released on the momentous evening.

Western Union refunded my money to my bank today alright --- all 20.00 of it!!! Where is the other 837.00 you might ask? They don't know. OMG -- so unbelievable. I had the bank representative conference call in with me to Western Union, we spoke to them for an hour, and all we got were different answers, all saying the same thing. Western Union no longer has my money. The bank has re-opened my account to let it be re-deposited, and can see that there is only 20.00 there. They said that if they don't see the money deposited tomorrow they will open a dispute, and investigation. Meanwhile -- I have called the Attorney General of Washington, and I am filing a formal investigation. I feel now, that this is beyond error - and realize they have possibly stolen my money.

Don't think about editing. Or marketing. Just write. It's tempting when you're piecing together your story to think about things that are down the road, like how on earth you're going to sell this book or what classification or genre it falls into or whether or not you'll be able to secure an agent or publisher. Sure, all those things are important, but they're concerns for another time. Right now, it's important to get those ideas down, to make those characters come alive, to immerse yourself fully in the writing process, because, let's face it, none of those other things will matter very much if the book isn't the very best it can be. So stop worrying whether your book is a crime thriller or legal thriller or if you should self-publish or traditionally publish. Right now, your characters need you. And you should be there for them.

Recent interest rates rises, where the Bank of England placed them at 5.5 per cent, were seen as one of the main drivers behind the slowing of demand.
The CML still expected to hit a record for the year in gross lending at £360 billion for the year, but with many expecting further rate rises demand could continue to be put under pressure.
"Going forward we expect lending to ease as we progress through the year, but the market will remain in good shape," said Michael Coogan, director of the CML.
The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors warned that buyers should exercise caution when taking on mortgage debt in the current climate of interest rate rises.
"The current squeeze on disposable incomes will continue, making affordability levels deteriorate even further," senior economist Oliver Gilmartin said.

Moving is stressful but here are six secrets to downsizing your stuff so you will not be overwhelmed. Moving is difficult enough, you don't need to add to it by arguing what to keep and what to donate. Below are some simple tips and ideas to keeping it simple and learning how to downsize and declutter your home.
Less is More
Get rid of cluttered shelves and too much furniture (unless you're going for an eclectic look). If you're moving to a smaller space, you're going to want to start getting rid of all that nonsense that just accumulates dust and cobwebs. Having less stuff in your home will also make your home appear larger and well organized. Just remember: "less is more."
What Stays, What Goes, Start With Rooms You Use the Least
By starting with a room you use the least, it will give you the opportunity to start getting rid of stuff from the start of this project. If you're in the habit of being able to let go of things, then you're more likely to get rid of more stuff than if you started with one of your more favorite rooms.
Keep Items You Cherish
If you have a treasure chest from your great grandfather's war days, you will want to find a great place for that in your new home. Sometimes the things we love the most, we don't use on a daily basis. But just because you don't use it often, doesn't mean you should get rid of it. Yes, some things you can live without and suffice with the memories you had attached to it, but it's OK to keep things you cherish the most, even if you aren't going to be using it a lot. If there's no room for your treasure, think about keeping it safe in a storage unit. Storage units allow you to keep things (temporary or permanently) without having to have them take up space in your home.
Have a Garage Sale
There's nothing better than turning your trash into someone else's treasure. Moving is a great opportunity to downsize your home, which could be something you've wanted to do for a while. Over the years it's easy to accumulate a bunch of stuff we don't use (birthdays, white elephant parties, fairs). The first thing you should do is have a garage sale or try to sell it online through sites like Craigslist or eBay. Garage sales are great if you want to sell big ticket items like couches, furniture or golf sets.
If You're Moving to a Smaller Home, Make Some Rooms Priority
When you're faced with less square footage than you're used to, you might want to try making a room in your home a priority. One of the most popular ways to do this is to combine an office and guest bedroom together. Try revamping the guests bedroom closet into an office space, complete with desk, computer, filing system and lamp.
Ask Family Members, "What They Want to Keep the Most?"
If you have a lot of items you want to get rid of but the kids are throwing a temper about getting rid of it, allow them to choose one item of their choice. Whatever they don't chose, donate to a charity close to your heart or stores like Goodwill or The Salvation Army. Whatever you donate will be put to good use in someone else's home. Who knows, what you're getting rid of could be something someone has been searching years for!

New Galleries of Remembrance
Jude Fraser, Manager, The Grimwade Centre, was as an invited guest on 11 November 2014 at the Remembrance Day Service and the Dedication of the Galleries of Remembrance at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. The day also included a celebratory dinner with Shrine staff and other invited contractors who worked on the project – Pod, Fini Frames, lighting team, AV team, signage team.
The project commenced in May 2013 when The Grimwade Centre staff removed the 45 Colours (flags) hanging in the Crypt and the Changi Flag for cleaning, condition checking and packing. The Colours were reinstalled in late July 2014 after the finial heads on the pikes had been cleaned and 3 Colours underwent stabilisation treatment. The Changi flag (and the Battle of Britain lace from the RAAF Museum) was reinstalled in September 2014.
In May and July 2014 approximately 800 loan objects were assessed for required conservation work. Approximately 230 3D objects and 90 paper objects/photos were treated from mid June through to mid October 2014.
Some additional objects were also treated – some from the University of Melbourne Archives, 2 missiles from HMAS Cerberus, and numerous paintings and objects from the Australian War Memorial (pursuant to a separate contract with the AWM). Additional objects were also treated later for a temporary exhibition.
The project utilised the skills of most of the The Grimwade Centre team over the duration of the project. More Information:

Objects loaned to Melbourne's Hellenic Museum from the Benaki Museum in Athens
A team of five conservators from The Grimwade Centre have been working closely with the conservators from the Benaki Museumin Athens, Elefthereia Goufa and Naoum Kokkalas, during August and September 2014. They have been preparing condition reports for the travelling exhibition which is a standard procedure for museums. The condition of the valuable objects on loan to Melbourne's Hellenic Museum was recorded in written reports and annotated images prior to leaving the Benaki Museum. Upon unpacking the objects in Melbourne, the Benaki conservators and The Grimwade Centre conservators, working in pairs, examined each object and cross referenced to the written reports. Any changes or damages not previously noted, were recorded and the reports signed off by both parties. This process will be repeated at the end of the exhibition and again on return to the Benaki Museum. The purpose of the condition reports is to identify if and when any damages may have occurred, and to be able to determine why the damage may have occurred. This condition checking process is essential for insurance/indemnity purposes as well.
It was a great opportunity for The Grimwade Centre conservators to work with international colleagues and to see the objects up close and in detail, before the objects were secured behind glass in their showcases.

Made to Last: the conservation of art - Novemeber 2013 - February 2014
'Made to last: the conservation of art' is a NETS Victoria touring exhibition in partnership with The Grimwade Centre at the University of Melbourne and supported by Latrobe Regional Gallery. As part of the exhibition, five artists were interviewed; Brook Andrew, Penny Byrne, Juan Ford, Ghostpatrol and Claire Anna Watson, discussing their materials and techniques and their thoughts on the conservation of their work. (Camera: Josh McIvor. Equipment: Lemac.)
In conjunction with the exhibition, The Grimwade Centre staff have been presenting seminars and undertaking conservation appraisals for members of the public at each exhibition venue. On the opening day of the exhibition at Latrobe Regional Gallery in September 2012, conservators specialising in paintings, paper, books and photographic materials met with members of the public to assess and advise them on the condition of their objects and any conservation treatment requirements. Advice on storage, handling and display was also provided.
This was followed up with a similar session at the Art Gallery of Ballarat in Jan 2013 with support from some members the Victorian Division of the AICCM. In addition, Senior Paper Conservator, Libby Melzer presented a seminar on The Conservation of Paper and Paintings.
Restoration of Girolamo Nerli's painting at the Catholic College of Sale
In late October, 2013, paintings conservators Cushla Hill and Vanessa Kowalski travelled to Sale, in Gippsland Victoria, to undertake the conservation treatment of a large painting by artist Girolamo Nerli.
The painted background was commissioned by the Sisters of Sion and painted in the early 20th century. The painted background is located in a niche, on the exterior wall of the chapel at the Catholic College of Sale, above the altar, and with the base located approximately 4 metres above floor level. The niche has a gothic arch at the front, with semicircular void to the glazed skylight above. The skylight permits illumination of painting and statue from above.
The painted background was executed on canvas by Girolamo Nerli, and according to records provided, was rolled for travel, and adhered behind the curved niche walls of the Chapel after being transported from Melbourne. The painted composition depicts pale blue sky and heavens, and middle-eastern landscape behind the Madonna. The background is located behind and above the plaster statue of Madonna and Child, which is raised on a stonework plinth in the niche.
The painting was in fair condition, having being subjected to water ingress and UV light from the skylight above the niche. The canvas was greatly deteriorated beneath the skylight, with mould damage, tears and holes. The paint layer had become detached from the canvas in areas, with lifting, flaking and associated loss.
The focus of the treatment was the preservation of the original materials, making the damaged canvas and paint layer stable, and retouching the background in the areas of loss, which were most visually distracting from below.
There was much interest and support from the local community. For more information about the project and to listen to an interview with conservator Cushla Hill, visit ABC Gippsland's website

"As we know from the study of history, no new system can impose itself upon a previous one without incorporating many of the elements to be found in the latter."
by ChristoRay
This line tallies with Atwood's assertion that she did not include anything in her novel that had not, at some point in history, been a feature of one society or another. The lecturer later says, 'there was little that was truly original or indigenous to Gilead: its genius was synthesis.'

It's totally normal to recipe-stalk, just so you know. Sites like Pinterest, Foodgawker and Tastespotting make recipe stalking even easier. One recipe I stalked for months before attempting it was Momofuku Milk Bar's banana cream pie. I admire recipe developer, Christina Tosi's elaborate dessert recipes. The steps are plentiful and the flavors aren't compromised because of it. And the creativity that goes into each recipe? Phenomenal, to say the least.
So I stalked many blogs, all of which were home to various bakers who had attempted this gorgeous banana cream pie. I made my own crust to cut out some time from the original recipe, but kept the filling true to the original recipe. I hate to say it, but I was terribly disappointed in the final product. While the banana flavor in the filling was stunningly present, I didn't care for the texture at all. It wasn't the fluffy creamy filling I think of when banana cream pie crosses my mind. It was jiggly, slightly odd, and not what I had imagined. The inclusion of both yellow food coloring and gelatin in the filling also had me second guessing this particular pie.
A few weeks later, I decided my quest for a damn good banana cream pie wasn't over. So, the stalking began again. I read hundreds of variations and decided to try again, taking one key tip from the Momofuku pie failure – I decided to use very, very ripe (almost rotten looking on the outside) bananas in the cream filling, because the sugars in these bananas are plentiful and the flavor of the bananas has much more depth that way. I wanted a filling that was light in texture, but would more or less hold its shape for a sliced pie. I made a custard that isn't exactly traditional. For color, I added just the slightest bit of turmeric instead of an artificial food coloring that would leave the pie neon and alien-like in color. The crust is my go-to recipe. It's light and flaky, which works well with the light, fluffy banana cream in this pie.
Banana Cream Pie
Yields one 9-inch pie.
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
1 stick unsalted butter, COLD, cubed
6-10 tablespoons ice cold water
For the filling:
3 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 super ripe bananas (black, spotty skins are GOOD in this case) + 1 just ripe banana
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioner's (powdered) sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional extremely scant 1/8 teaspoon turmeric (for color – and a little goes a LONG way!)
Prepare your pie crust dough: In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined. Add in the cold, cubed butter, using your fingertips to work it into the flour mixture, working quickly so the butter stays cold. The butter should create small flakes, some about the size of oats and others just slightly larger. Add in the ice cold water, about a tablespoon at a time, using a fork to bring the dough together. Continue adding the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together.
Turn the dough out to a lightly floured surface (it's okay for it to be crumbly – we're about to take care of that right now). Knead the dough gently into a round, semi-flat disc shape. Wrap nice and snugly in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least one full hour. This resting time lets the butter solidify a bit, allowing it to break down slower in the oven, creating a flakier crust.
Once the hour or so has passed, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly dust a flat surface with flour. Roll the dough out on your floured surface to a circle about 1/8-inch thick and about 12-inches in diameter. Transfer it to a pie pan. Trim the edge until it has about one inch of overhang. Use your thumb and forefinger of one hand to push the thumb of your other hand, crimping the overhanging crust. Continue this around the crust to create a crimped edge. (Like this!)
Line the pie crust with foil or parchment paper, then top with enough pie weights or dried beans to cover the bottom. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are nicely golden brown. Remove the weights and foil/parchment paper, then return the crust to your oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the bottom is nicely golden brown, too. Allow the pie crust to cool completely before adding the filling.
Prepare your pie filling: In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, one cup of the milk, the melted butter, and the three super ripe bananas. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside until needed.
In a medium pot, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt, paying attention to break up any clumps of all of the above ingredients. Turn the heat on to medium and whisk in the remaining milk and the banana mixture. Continue whisking, over medium heat, until the mixture begins to thicken up (7 to 10 minutes). Once the mixture is very, very thick, pour it into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic all the way onto the top of the pudding (this keeps a skin from forming). Refrigerate until completely cooled (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
Make your pie: Pour the whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment to beat the cream over low speed (2 – 4) until it's frothy. Add the confectioners sugar and continue whisking over medium speed until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the vanilla and whisk the cream until stiff peaks form.
Remove half of the whipped cream, transferring it to a bowl until needed. Add the completely cooled banana mixture to the stand mixer, which should still contain half of the whipped cream. Whisk the mixtures together at low speed until just combined (you can also do this step by hand, using a spatula).
Spoon half of the banana cream mixture into your cooled pie crust, smoothing it out on top. Slice the remaining banana – the one that wasn't overly ripe – into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange the bananas over the smoothed cream. Top the bananas with the remaining banana cream filling, again smoothing it out as best as you can.
Use a piping bag or simply a frosting spatula to top the pie with the reserved whipped cream. Refrigerate the pie until you're ready to serve it.

Friday Reflections is all about reflecting on the week by observing our senses. My hope is that this will be a gentle, easy way to tune into how we are doing and what we are experiencing weekly when journaling in general can feel so daunting.
Now, for this week's Friday Reflections (with each sense as your inspiration, consider how experiencing it impacted your week).
Here is my sensory round-up for this week:
tasting :: a crab cake salad with a lemon vinaigrette at The Liberty , sautéed spinach, herbed roasted mashed potatoes, strawberry shortcake
hearing :: really incredible possibilities from Passion. Purpose. Plunge clients, college dreams from Circle de Luz girls, friends and I sharing the stuff that either is overwhelming or just stumping right now
smelling :: Happy's new coconut smoothie hair conditioner. Yum.
seeing :: the most incredible moon
feeling :: ridiculously sore after my first run of the year. Holy wow, did everything hurt after that! Note to self: build up muscular endurance.
wishing/hoping :: for grace and good work in the personal/professional crunch I face between now and May 9th
What about you? What were your sensational experiences this week? Please share!
This post was inspired by Teacher Goes Back to School who was inspired by Pink of Perfection's Five Sense Friday.

Home Base At Doloris Alba Mérida
Merida Travel Blog› entry 1 of 15 › view all entries
The Doloris Alba in Mérida is an ideal place to make your home base to explore the surrounding area; Progresso and the beaches, Sotuta de Peon a functioning henequen hacienda, Celestun and the Flamingos, Hacienda Yaxcopoil, Muna a town of Mayan potters, caverns, numerous colonial churche sand numerous Maya ruins. The ruins include Ake, Izamal, Dzibilchaltun, Oxkintok, Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, Labna, Xlopuc, Labna, Mayapan and dozens of small, hard to find sites. Mérida, it self is a great place to explore and enjoy. There is a daily festivals and special events. The staff at the Doloris Alba are glad to provide you with the scheduling and locations. There are great shopping for Panama hats, Guayaberas, hammocks and dozens of crafts only produced on the Yucatan.
I have stayed at the Doloris Alba more than a dozen times since the 1970's. This is not a new built from a cleared lot chain hotel. This hotel is located in a series of historic colonial buildings. A modern facility has been developed in this setting. I have always been pleased with the room, restaurant, bar and service. When I arrive at the Doloris Alba it always feels like home! Over the years I have stayed at 7 other places in Mérida due to the wishes of traveling partners or the arrangement were many by my company. I have never been as satisfied as I am at the Doloris Alba. The city of Mérida has a lot to offer and you can day trip dozens of sights from a home base in Mérida. My review photos are of 10 different Maya ruins easily accessible in a day trips. There are at least 12 more Maya site that could be added to the review photographs.
The activity list for Mérida includes The Museum of Archaeology, "Paseo de Montejo", "Monumento a la Bandera", "Ermita de Santa Isabel", University of Yucatan, "Parque de Santa Lucia", the Zoo and the main square with the Government Palace, City Hall and the house of the founder of Mérida, Francisco de Montejo. When on the main square, if you look carefully you can locate Maya glyphs carved on some of the foundation of the older buildings. Mérida offers several modern malls where you can buy almost anything. There is also the main market just off of the main square. This is my favorite shopping place. Mérida offers free cultural presentation every evening at various parks, the staff at the Deloris Alba can provide the schedule of venues.
Day trips from Mérida can include more than 20 Maya ruin sites; a visit to Celestun to see pink flamingos in their natural habitat; Dzibichaltun, a small Maya ruin with a swimable cenote; Progreso, for a day at the beach; Izamal, a city painted yellow, where you will find the largest Franciscan convent in all México; functioning haciendas.

Release Date: 23/04/16
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
'What impresses me most is Lloyd's ability to bring big themes into the weave of the story and yet keep to the underlying threads of an astonishingly good detective novel. Such a magnificent writer' Manda Scott
'This is historical crime fiction at its very best' Shots
From the author of the acclaimed historical thriller Savage Magic comes The Detective and the Devil, a riveting tale of villainy, alchemy and murder.
London, 1815: Constable Charles Horton of the River Police Office is called to investigate the brutal murder of a clerk and his family in London's East End. Horton's investigation draws him into the secretive world of the East India Company, which will stop at nothing to protect the secrets of its vast empire. What is the Company hiding, and why are its employees disappearing - particularly those linked to the small island of St Helena? The trail takes Horton and his wife Abigail from the steps of John Dee's house in Mortlake to the lonely South Atlantic, on the trail of a killer who seems to be the very Devil.
The fourth outing for Charles Horton and a book that delightfully continues his "war" against the dark forces that beset this superntural crime thriller.
The prose is solid, the dialogue wonderfully rich and when you throw into the mix a principle character that you love to spend time around as he goes about his duty all round makes this a book that was a sheer delight to read. Whilst you can pick this up with no knowledge of what has gone before, I would suggest that you start from the beginning to get the fuller picture and with the holiday period fast approaching, could be a good time to order the lot for one hell of an adventure to get you away from the ensuing chaos it inevitably brings.

The Other War
The Abduction of Helen
Alpha heard banging at the gates of his family's compound, then gunshots. He looked out a second-story window and saw the rebels. Some wore the combat camouflage of Sierra Leone's disintegrated army. Some wore black jeans, knit polo shirts, Tupac Shakur T-shirts. A few had wrapped their hair in handkerchiefs patterned with the American flag. All of them wore red bandannas around their foreheads. Adhesive strips patched their faces, as if they had been scratched by angry cats. The strips masked incisions where the rebels had ingested cocaine, amphetamines or other drugs that wired their heads for battle.
In eastern Freetown on Monday morning, January 18, 1999, a war that was at that moment the world's cruelest, as well as its most invisible, entered the parlor of the Jalloh family, where breakfast lay unfinished on a table in the center of the room. It was not easy to say why the rebels entered one house and not another, but a faint air of prosperity hung over this gated compound on Kissy Road. Dalibeh Jalloh's nine children by two wives included the three sweet-faced sons now standing frightened by the window. The oldest was Alpha, 22, who traded gold-plated watches he bought in Guinea, had a girlfriend, danced in Freetown's nightclubs, and who now listened as the rebels crashed through the last door and climbed the stairs.
They demanded money and Alpha's father handed over bundles. Gun barrels swung to the three brothers. A rebel commander ordered them outside. Their mother sat in a chair before the unfinished food and wept. Their father begged: "Please don't take them. They are my children. Don't take them."
Outside, the rebels forced them into line. They marched up a red clay road past small shacks and shops toward green, grassy hills.
"We are going back to the bush," a rebel taunted, "but we are leaving something with you."
The brothers began to cry. The line of youths swelled with other abductees as they walked. Some rebels told the boys their hands would be cut off and sent back to the democratically elected president of Sierra Leone, Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, as a symbol of the rebels' power. Others said the boys would be killed. The Jalloh brothers begged to be taken to the rain forest, where they could be indoctrinated as rebels and join the "revolution."
"No, we are sending you to Tejan Kabbah. We are not taking you to the jungle."
Two hundred yards up the slope they reached a school driveway. Before a metal gate stood a tall, thin rebel wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt and a red bandanna. Drug strips covered his face. The others called him Tommy. He held an axe.
A neighbor the boys knew as Sheikou went first. As rebels trained assault rifles at his head, he stretched on his stomach on broken concrete before the school gate and extended his arm.

The Arizona State Swim Team started off the new year with a match against the formidable Stanford Cardinals. Both of the Sun Devil squads fell to their opponents, but the men certainly did not let the meet fly away from them as they lost 141 to 159 while the ladies lost 113 to 178.
The defeat was not aided by a day stained with wet and dreary weather, but ASU was nonetheless satisfied with the performance it had considering the challenge Stanford presents as the leader of the PAC-12 division.
"I liked the way they raced. I thought we did some really good things; I think we handled really tough conditions pretty well," Head Coach Bob Bowman said. "We made a couple mistakes on the men's meet that would have made it even closer had we changed a couple things, but all and all, I am very pleased with their effort."
In mention of the men, they started the meet off strong with a tie with the Cardinals for first in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:28.34. As usual, they later followed suit in the 400-yard freestyle relay as the team consisting of Richard Bohus, Patrick Park, Tadas Duskinas, and Cameron Craig grabbed first with a time of 2:55.78.
"The guys stepped up today. I don't know when the men have ever won a relay against Stanford. We tied one and we won one so I think that's a pretty good step for us," Bowman said.
The anchor of the aforementioned race, Craig, had a very good meet from an individual standpoint as well. He took third in three of the freestyle disciplines including the 200-yard, 100-yard, and 50-yard races.
Duskinas beat Craig for the second spot in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.36, and continued to stand out in the meet as he managed the first slot on the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 47.2.
"Tadas Duskinas probably had the best day overall in terms of stepping up four times. I thought he did an amazing job on that," Bowman said.
Christain Lorenz also put up a significant number of points for the Sun Devils as bested all his competitors to earn first in both the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke races with times of 55.42 and 2:00.46, respectively.
"We train all year for this and so it's really just believing in what we've been doing and then hitting stroke counts," Lorenz said.
As far as maintaining this level of success tomorrow against CAL, Lorenz knows it will require a similar process that led him to his wins today with only a few adjustments.
"In the 100 one of my goggles fell off so hopefully that doesn't happen. I'll tighten them up and maybe switch so that'll be nice. That kind of almost got me in a panicky state so just staying in control is key," Lorenz said
Senior Kat Simonovic demonstrated some of this control during the meet as she was second in the 500-yard freestyle. Simonovic was second again in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:48.90, but was beaten only by 2016 Olympic gold medalist and now Stanford Cardinal, Katie Ledecky.
Chloe Isleta also competed with Ledecky as she simultaneously stole the second spot from her in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:59.72 and reached one of her goals.
"Definitely swam my season best. I think I did that on the backstroke which I'm pretty proud of," Isleta said.
The women gained more momentum to bring to tomorrow's meet as the 400-yard freestyle relay team composed of Alysha Bush, Claire Fisch, Ingibjorg Jonsdottir, and Kat Simonovic swam a collective time of 3:24.9 for second place.
"Our mindset is that we want to compete with the best and we have to practice doing it coming from pretty far away. We're a lot closer with the women than we were last year I guarantee it, and we're way closer with the men," Bowman said
Now, as the team prepares for another difficult meet tomorrow versus CAL, they know they are better equipped for that challenge as well as all the others to come.
"That's what we want to do. Every time we step up against these guys we want to be a little bit closer," Bowman said

On Friday night at Gen Con, I took home less than 1% of a silver ENnie for the small part I played in Hobby Games: The 100 Best. Still, I'm proud that people recognized what a great book it is, as well as what a great job my friend Jim Lowder did in pulling it together.
Congratulations to all my fellow authors on HG100 and to all the rest of the winners too!

Is the Behance or Prosite portfolio site right for you?
I've spent the past couple of weeks establishing a new web presence for my illustration portfolio. It's been a real challenge as I started with a Prosite website hosted with Behance, but then realized that I needed more flexibility with my site than what they offered. It's a real shame too because Behance does do a lot of things really well, and they make creating a nice web presence pretty simple.
Why use Behance?
Free version
There is a free version of Behance as well as a paid, professional version called Prosite. I used both of these formats because, frankly, you don't really have a choice. Your profile in the free version of the Behance community (and a community is what it is) is where you need to upload and organize all of your portfolio items. From there, you can publish them to your Prosite website, or you can go ahead and enter your professional site and pull the items in from there.
So basically, your default profile in Behance is sort of like a control area. Any changes that you make to your portfolio items there will automatically update in your professional site. The default free Behance presence looks something like this:
This free version isn't a bad deal at all. Uploading and displaying high resolution artwork is a breeze, and so is the organization of your work. You can choose the cover images for your projects, and you can create customized, cropped thumbnails for those covers, all within the Behance framework. The system also automates the metadata, tagging, and categories for each of your entries, which is great for optimizing your content for the web (although I found it a little annoying that I had to make an entry in every input field, even if I didn't want to).
The Behance Community
I admit that I didn't really delve into the community aspect of what Behance offered as much as I probably should have. But I do plan to keep my Behance free profile posted and updated, and I plan to get more involved in the community a little later. But the bottom line is that it works kind of like a merger of LinkedIn and Facebook. You can follow, like (appreciate), and comment on other artist's artwork. You can fill out a form that will post a nice resume for you, and there is a job bank where you can try to find work. For employers or art directors, this is an obvious place to visit to look for artists, designers, and illustrators. For most artists, this is a huge plus.
Another great feature that Behance ffers is that you can also buy and sell your artwork, and Behance makes that a very simple process. They will simply include a purchase button in the corner of any of the displayed artwork that you'd like to sell. The company that they partner with will handle printing, packaging, and all of the invoicing and collecting of monies for for all the work you sell, if you want them to. If you want to handle all of that yourself, you can do that too.
As far as porfolio display goes, Behance does a great job. I was even able to find a way to display multi-page publications and books that I usually find so hard to display well online. Behance partners with ISSUU to simplify that process, and your pdf files are turned into animated, page-turning slide shows. You can see what that looks like for this Medikin children's book that I illustrated. Just click the link or the image below to interact with the actual slideshow. You do have to set up an ISSUU account, but I found the service worthwhile.
Why use Prosite (Behance professional paid version)?
Prosite is the paid, professional version of a Behance online presence. This package offers you a whole new way to customize your presence, and a lot of artists do it a lot of different ways. When I tried this out, I thought this was really going to be the ticket for me!
Prosite features
- custom domain
- custom logo and favicon
- add multiple pages
- import your blog from several blogging sites.
- add a feature image as a website header
- control spacing, margins, rules, order of images, and many other design elements with easy to use modules
With all of this, I was able to put together what I thought was a quite nice looking portfolio. You can see that below.
So, what more could I ask for? Right?
Why don't I don't use Behance Prosite?
I spent a lot of time setting up my Prosite just the way I wanted it, and I even illustrated a custom header to fit nicely into the space provided. I thought I was all set—until I realized two simple limitations that turned out to be "make or break" items for me.
Features Prosite lacks:
- sub-pages/nested pages
- ability to create a different feature image or "header" for each page
I work in a few different illustration styles and offer services other than illustration, so it was important for me not to have to display all the different illustration styles together. My site would have just looked too cluttered. Prosite worked great for displaying a single illustration style, as you can see above, but beyond that, I was stuck.
Is Behance right for you?
It depends. If you work primarily in one style, it could work out very well for you. If you work in more than one style and would like to have feature images to promote each of those, it's not going to work out. I suspect that a large majority of illustrators, artists, and designers will do quite well in the Behance/Prosite arena. It just didn't happen to work for me. Sometime in the near future, I'll talk about what did.
