WP.24 follow-up workshop on weights and dimensions of intermodal transport units
(UIC HQ, Paris, 6-7 February 2014)
Moderated by Mr. Henri Maillard, former chair of WP.24, the workshop reviewed, on the basis on concrete examples, the interoperability requirements for road, rail and inland water transport of various intermodal transport units (ITUs), particularly the pallet-wide 45 foot European container providing a loading space for 33 Europallets.
It was noted that the safe transport by road of such rectangular ITUs would require an additional permissible loading length of around 15 cm, beyond the currently allowed 13.60 m for road semi-trailers.
Rail transport of such ITUs was also possible without major technical difficulties on standard container wagons even though with a loss of capacity and operational safety due to loading gaps between such units.
Similarly, standard inland water vessels could transport such containers. Optimal stowage of such ITUs (i.e. four-wide) would, however, require a widening of the hold to 10.20 meter which would only be possible for newly-built vessels and with modified safety regulations.
The workshop also reviewed various proposals to improve the aerodynamics and road safety of ITUs that necessarily will increase the overall length of ITUs or road transport vehicles. It felt that the environmental and energy effects of such devices on road transport operations had not yet been studied thoroughly and under realistic circumstances. Also the impact of such devices, foldable or not, on intermodal transport had not yet been analyzed.

Exactly how Indian Hills resident Kerry Kurt found herself responsible for about half of Denver's most coveted outdoor venue on the one day in history when much of the world's attention will be focused there makes for a curious tale.
"It was not a simple, straightforward process," says Kurt, 44. "It's kind of amazing, when you think about it. I think it's a spirit thing: energy, force, grace — whatever you want to call it."

Algae advisory dropped for Reservoir
Staff writer
For the first time since June 14, the Marion Reservoir is without a blue-green algae warning or advisory.
All water activity, including direct contact such as swimming, is safe and encouraged.
The advisory from last week was lifted due to extensive rains received before sampling Monday.
"Weekly testing will not be conducted on the lake until the lake officials call for another test due to a possible bloom," Ron Kaufman director of information services for Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism said.

I've said many times that I don't get too deep into salary cap discussions because it is difficult to be certain you are writing an accurate story if you don't have all the information. Accuracy is important in the newspaper business.
Teams lie. I don't blame them. Much of this stuff is none of our business. Funny thing is during contract negotiations, fans (and media) believe agents lie, and some of them do. But so do teams.
Teams own salary cap talk. Media are gullible in that sense. Fans follow whatever media say about the cap.
What is most often left out of salary cap talk is budget talk.
All NFL teams have a budget that is altogether separate from the salary cap. So, when the Texans released Eric Winston Monday, it was as much the team budget they were working to get under as it was the salary cap. But, again, without all the information it is impossible to know what's what.
Almost everything you read about it is speculation. The Texans are never in this category, because they typically spend to the cap every year, but it cracks me up when I see players get cut and it is described as a salary cap move when the team that cut the guy is nowhere near the cap.
I have talked to enough general managers and salary cap managers to know that even when up against it, if a team wants to keep a player it can make it happen. When it doesn't want a guy, the best spin is to apologize and blame the salary cap.
What's being described as a salary cap cut is probably as much a decision to stay under budget and move on from Winston. If he wasn't going to be the team's long-term answer, better to save the money now.
The Texans probably save some $5 million on the salary cap at right tackle by going with Rashad Butler over Winston. Even knowing that, this wasn't all a money move and they had no other options.
Winston says the team told him they didn't want to insult him by asking him to take a pay cut. I guess they didn't want to insult him by extending his contract and converting his 2012 salary into a signing bonus either? Or maybe they couldn't do that because of the signing bonus they have budgeted to give to someone else?
You think if Winston had played at a Pro Bowl level he would have been released? Then why would anyone call it a salary cap cut?
Look, despite all the national attention (he was on several national writers' all-league teams), Winston didn't have a great season. In that sense he benefited from the team having success, and being a good guy, a great interview. I said that during the season, so that's not news.
That said, it isn't like the Texans know what they are getting in Butler, who was to be the backup last season, but he was out all year with a torn triceps. I like Butler, but there is some risk with this move. Now the strongest unit on the team has taken a hit. So much for all that talk about continuity on the o-line, huh?
The release of Matt Leinart was hardly a surprise. After T.J. Yates' play, it made little sense to bring Leinart back next season.
There will be other contracts terminated today as well, and I would expect Chris Myers to be re-signed. At least he had better be.
I'll be hosting "The Blitz" on ESPN 97.5 today from 12-2, a perfect time to talk about what the Texans are doing or should be doing.
It could be a crazy offseason day in the NFL, and an interesting day for the Texans, as free agency officially begins at 3 p.m. today, though everybody knows teams and agents have already been talking.
I don't think Mario Williams will be a free agent for even 12 hours. Free agency used to start at 11 p.m., so the switch to midday this year might save beat writers from having to stay up all night. No doubt there will be contracts agreed to this evening. I expect Williams' will be one of those.

Gokul Rajaram is Facebook's director of product management for ads. He recently did a detailed, free-wheeling interview with AdExchanger, in which he described seven priorities for the advertising side of Facebook's business (which is to say, virtually all of its $1 billion-per quarter business).
In doing so, however, he also hinted at Facebook's seven biggest problems. Here are Rajaram's priorities and the problems that come with them:
1. Data. Facebook has one of the biggest hoards of marketing data on the planet, and its members are targetable based on their demographics and interests. It's a potential marketing goldmine.
Problem: Facebook isn't doing anything with it. When asked if Facebook ever planned to switch on its data for ad targeting, Rajaram said only: "Not at this time."
2.Facebook Pages. "Facebook Pages work really well to reach people at all parts of the funnel. The Page should be the hub of all your marketing, we believe, because Pages allow you to reach people in the news feed. Pages allow you to publish content. That initially starts out as organic content, and then you can sponsor or boost the content."
Problem: Pages are free, but Facebook needs to see sales dollars growth. But there's no such thing as a "free" page at Facebook. As Rajaram admits, most posts made by marketers are only seen by a small proportion of followers because users' news feeds are so crowded. So marketers are forced to pay to get the reach they need: "Organically, you get anywhere from 15 percent to 20 percent of your fans, that you reach organically. In order to reach the remaining 80 to 85 percent, sponsoring posts is important."
3. Mobile. "Our advertising strategy on mobile is all about making sure we are part of the organic content that people consume. It's primarily News Feed. On mobile, it's actually fairly easy for us."
Problem: Everyone knows Facebook's mobile app leaves a lot to be desired. Also, Rajaram says Facebook will NOT introduce banner ads, leaving it dependent on Sponsored Stories—which aren't as obvious or intrusive as display advertising. He says, "we don't introduce content which would not be there otherwise—like a banner ad or something like that—in mobile, it's a much easier transition for us from a pure product development point of view." That's fine ... except that advertisers LIKE obvious and intrusive media. The mobile screen is comparatively tiny and Facebook has turned its back on a major part of the real estate it offers.
4. Offers. "We intrinsically believe that advertising and marketing should enhance native‑user behaviors. Things like Offers originated from this belief. When we survey users asking, 'What are the reasons you Like a page on Facebook?' one of the primary reasons was people want discounts, coupons, and deals. To build a compelling product it takes a coupon, which is an age-old thing."
Problem: When was the last time you redeemed a Facebook Offer?
5. Speed. "Our focus is to move fast — have all teams that work together not encumbered by any constraints. They execute and launch something fast and learn something and move on."
Problem: Facebook is rolling out new products so fast it's confusing for clients. Here's how Rajaram says Facebook communicates with its main ad partners, the so-called preferred marketing developers (PMD): "We have a number of communication channels with PMDs. All PMDs have access to a PMD-only community forum. We have several forums, groups on Facebook that they have access to. Then we have product and program update forums. Then we have PMD email support. We also have regular newsletters that we send out, and we have limited opportunities for select PMDs to test products in pre‑launch status so they can test it and give us feedback." Phew!
6. Facebook Exchange: "There are obviously some differences in Facebook creative being different from [standardized display] and so on. We want to make sure the partners understand that just because they are integrated, it doesn't mean the responsibility ends there. Their responsibility is to work with us to make sure the advertisers who are our common client have a great experience on Facebook Exchange."
Problem: Rajaram seems to be implying that Facebook's ad formats are a creative hurdle for some buyers. Facebook's ads come in different shapes and sizes than standard web format banner ads—which means that clients have to create separate campaigns just for Facebook, before they buy on Facebook.
7. Video. Facebook is one of the largest servers of video in the world, and video advertising is a lot more lucrative than display advertising. So it's a huge opportunity for video ads.
Problem: Facebook isn't doing anything about it. "Unlike everybody else It's something we haven't talked too much about. We probably need to focus and build a lot of stuff on the consumer side, if we want to do something. I think, so far, we haven't talked much about the advertising side of video, at this point."

Zenit have completed the signing of Argentina international defender Ezequiel Garay on a five-year deal.
The 27-year-old joins from Benfica after a three-year stint at the Estadio da Luz in which he won the Primeira Liga, the Taca de Portugal and the Taca da Liga.
His performances in Lisbon helped gain the attention of some of Europe's premier clubs, with Manchester City and Bayern Munich reportedly also keen on acquiring the former Real Madrid man.
However, he will move to the four-time Russian champions after the FIFA World Cup and will remain under contract until 2019.
With his exit confirmed, Garay paid tribute to Benfica's president Luis Filipe Vieira and coach Jorge Jesus.
"I want to thank everyone who supported me in these three magnificent years I spent at Benfica," he told the Portuguese club's official website.
"In particular the president, who believed and invested in me and the coach who helped me evolve and reach a level of which I am very proud.
"Of course, I also thank all my colleagues with whom I had the honor to play at this club."
Garay will link up with former Porto coach Andre Villa-Boas in Russia as well as compatriot Cristian Ansaldi.

What's your view of the alleged DMB sewage dump?
Jessie Taylor: "I feel bad for the band. They're going to lose a lot of fans' respect because they are known as being environmentally conscious."
James Cole: "I think they just got caught. Transit buses do that all the time. If it was not an accident, they should be penalized. But politicians do a whole lot worse."
Shane Williams: "I haven't heard nothing about that. I wouldn't doubt it."

I usually tell people that I hate telenovelas, and it's true – I hate them, especially the ones Suegra watches in the afternoon – but in life, there are always a few exceptions to the rule.
The first telenovela I ever watched was "Esmeralda." I would visit Carlos, (who was my novio at the time), at his brother's apartment. If I visited when Esmeralda was on, there was no talking to him, except during commercial breaks. I knew the show was the equivalent to a soap opera, something American men absolutely do not watch, so it puzzled me that he watched the telenovela so faithfully and without any shame, even if he was macho in every other way.
I watched with him because there was nothing better to do, and decided it would help my Spanish. There is one line from that show that I still remember, because I repeated it so well that it made Carlos laugh until he cried. "¡Tengo las fotos de tú y ella!" was simple enough for me to understand and so I spat it out with the same dramatic emotion as the actress on screen. We still say this line to each other to get a cheap laugh.
It would take another decade for me to find another telenovela good enough to watch. Carlos was watching "La Fea Más Bella," and at first I made fun of it. The background music and sound effects were so cheesy that I wondered how in the world he could watch it. Then one day, "Fernando," (Jaime Camil) walked on screen and I couldn't look away. So yes, I started watching for the eye candy, but eventually I came to like the character of "Lety" and the storyline itself, (although I did not like the ending. Why do the characters who are fea or gordita always have to have a makeover? Why can't they just live happily ever after the way they are?)
Now there is a new telenovela starting next week, (Jan. 10th at 9 pm), which has piqued my interest. While watching Telemundo with Carlos the other night, this commercial for "Los Herederos Del Monte" came on…
After picking my jaw back up off the floor I said, "Wow…that looks…good."
Carlos gave me a look that suggested he understood I wasn't talking about the plot.

BYOD No Longer Optional for Government
Do you remember your first cell phone? I remember mine. It was big, and clunky, and really heavy. It would have made a better door stop than personal device. Things have really changed since those days. Our devices are so sleek and light now that we bring them with us everywhere we go, feeding directly into the BYOD trend that is taking government by storm.
In last Thursday's BYOD post, I talked about the need to approach the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend from a collaboration perspective. Government organizations know the BYOD movement is here to stay. It's no longer optional. It's the way their employees want to communicate, and it's a level of connectivity that state governments and federal agencies have started to implement.
As government moves forward with implementing BYOD, they face certain challenges:
- Scalability: How can you easily accommodate in real-time the explosion of new devices and applications trying to get onto your network?
- Security: How do you identify and secure the devices and users on your network?
- Manageability: How can you easily manage users and devices no matter how they connect or where they are located on your network?
It's these organizational hurdles that led Cisco to develop the Cisco Unified Workspace. This solution unifies your social, mobile, and virtual workspaces on any device. It allows for a BYOD implementation to operate simply as it supports necessary applications like video and telepresence, all while protecting data security and increasing employee productivity.
Want to see the Unified Workspace solution in action?
We'd love to hear your thoughts on implementing a Unified Workspace solution in a government environment. What are some benefits you see for your agency? What reservations are holding your agency back? Please leave a comment below!
*Cisco is also currently on the road talking about all things BYOD Find out if it's
coming to a city near you.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

1. Introduction
(1) Function: Edible oil extraction machine is an oil extractor through soaking or spraying pre-pressed cake by a certain organic solvent. The principle of this part is the different solubility of solvent.
(2) Use range: Edible oil solvent extraction fits for pre-press extraction of high oil- content materials and direct once time extraction of low-oil-content materials.
(3) Main parts: The edible oil extraction making series includes rotary extractor, toaster, 1st evaporator, 2nd evaporator, stripping tower, condenser, etc.
2. Main parts function
(1) Solvent pumps: continuously spray solvent to the rotary-typr extractor.
(2) Roary extractor: spray and soak the pre-pressed cake with solvent so that oil fats can be dissolved in solvent (form miscella). After processing, you can get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil).
(3) DTDC: used to separate the solvent from the wet meal.
(4) Miscella tank 1st: pump the miscella ( oil with solvent) into the miscella 1st, then add 10% saline water to it. The phospholipid and impurities in the miscella will react with the saline water, at last the reactant precipitate, reaching the goal of purifying.
(5) Miscella tank 2nd: the purified miscella will be pumped into it.
(6) Miscella stripping: it will remove the remaining solvent in miscella. And the solvent will be discharged to condenser for recycling.
(7) Condensers: used to cooling the solvent gas separated from the wet meal and miscella for recycling.
3. Main Process
(1) The material (for pretreatment) is sent to rotary extraction by the scraper conveyor. The material will extracted by the solvent or mix oil. After this step, we will get meal and mix oil.
(2) Meal is send to toaster. Through the toaster, the solvent in the meal will seperate from the meal.The solvent goes to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
(3) After the mix oil from the rotary extraction enters into 1st evaporator and 2nd evaporator, most of the solvent in the mix oil is separated.
(4) The mix oil from 2nd evaporator goes to stripping tower and almost all the solvent is separated. From the stripping tower, we can get crude oil and solvent. The solvent is sent to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
4. Advantages
(1) High oil yield, obvious economic benefit
(2) Less residual oil rate in the dry meal.
(3) Improving the quality of the meal.
(4) Low processing cost, high labor productivity.

Q: What's the difference between sunflower oil process and soybean oil process?
A: The biggest difference between these two is that the sunflower oil need dewaxing after refining.
Q: Why need extraction ?
A:If only pressed, oil residue inside cake is very high at lease 6%. But after extraction, the oil residue will be less than 1%, which greatly increases the oil yield.
Q: What chemical is used in oil extraction machine, and this chemical can be recovered?
A: Solvent n-hexane, most of this chemical can be recovered for recycling use.
Q: What will be happened if without good dewaxing?
A: Without good dewaxing, the final oil will be not so transparent as the oil with good dewaxing, especially in cold weather, the oil will easily become milky, or some solid inside.

We are so accustomed to being able to plan things in America. We plan vacations, weddings, retirement, etc. while never considering, for the most part, that our plans could be altered in a moment�s time.
We are so accustomed to being able to plan things in America. We plan vacations, weddings, retirement, etc. while never considering, for the most part, that our plans could be altered in a moment�s time. Things can change just that quickly because of the many variables in life. And the time when unfavorable things happen is the very moment when the devil tries to suck life out of you the most. He wants you to get caught up in that particular moment to divert your focus long enough to bring you into captivity. But don�t allow yourself to get caught up because moments are subject to change.
In a moment of time, the devil, for example, can speak to your mind and tell you that this is it, it�s all over and you�re not coming out of your dilemma. It�s his attempt to lower your soul into feeling helpless and at a total loss. But don�t allow that moment to dictate or decide your future.
Your destiny should exceed any moment of seeming failure and defeat. If you know deep down inside that what you are facing at any point in time isn�t what God purposed for your life, then that inward �knowing� is an indicator to remind you of your assured promise of victory from Him. Although everything around you may seem to be a no-win situation, something inside will not allow you to settle for that and will cause you to press forward.
God stands with you during your moments of attacks and wants you to use them as springboards. The moment you refuse and oppose what the devil is using to attack you with is the moment you step onto your springboard and are thrust out of the attack. That moment also becomes your time of counterattack against him.
There are dangers that lie in wait for you if you get caught up in the moment. For one, you become common with God. One of the devil�s objectives each day is to convince you that what God said concerning you will not come to pass. He tries to wear you out so that you will give up and stop believing. Prevent the word of God from becoming mere �proverbs� to you by pressing in daily even the more to reach Him.
Another danger of getting caught up in the moment is becoming bound to a different system.
Often times, people become disheartened and frustrated when they don�t see God come through for them within a certain period of time. A large portion of it can be attributed to not thoroughly understanding God�s terminology. Isaiah 55:11 clearly states that God�s ways and thoughts are different than ours; they are actually higher. Therefore, some of the words He uses and their meanings are different from that to which we are accustomed as proven in Psalm 90:4 and II Peter 3:8. It is easy to get caught up and become discouraged when expecting God to work based on our interpretation rather than His and then not seeing the manifestation.
Always remember that God can�t lie and is perfect in all of His ways, even in His timing, and that just because you don�t see the promise at the time expected, doesn�t mean that it isn�t going to happen. For example, if you were to check Old Testament references, you would discover that to God �immediately� means anywhere from one day to three years (study the life of King Saul from the time God declared his removal from the throne to the actual occurrence), but to us, it means right away.
So don�t allow yourself to get sucked into the moment when the enemy attacks. Rather, use it as a springboard to counterattack and watch God thrust you to victory.

Education minister Mr Heng Swee Keat pointed out yesterday  that our Singaporean workers lack drive and the confidence to venture out of their comfort zone.
These are the very qualities that chief executives and entrepreneurs singled out to him as being essential to succeed in the competitive global playing field (ST 1 Feb).
I am not surprised that Singaporeans  will not venture out very far away from being a worker due to our single-tracked path of using education as the only way to achieving success in life.
Not many are confident or driven enough to go through the mill of being an entrepreneur – someone who has a dream and want to fulfill it at all cost.
Its not about the money even  but more of a passionate drive to want to do something different and fulfilling.
Personally,  I feel that you can't really teach a person to be entreprenurial by simply attending some workshops or seminars. The overall business environment, natural push factors and more importantly the person's personality are all  crucial elements that determine whether the person will  succeed as a entrepreneur or not.
I was heartened to meet  a 26-year-old lady recently who has set up a event business with two other employees. She was confident, articulate and positive and I thought that she will go far as she believes  in delayed gratification.
"I don't have a salary now," she confided in me over dinner at Hougang Mall foodcourt. "All I got is just an allowance to help me tide over the next few months."
With all sorts of incentive to help budding entrepreneurs such as tax-free holidays  for 2 years and a up-beat business environment, it is still a puzzle why Singaporeans do not take to the entrepreneurial route as readily as our foreign businessmen here. The pot of gold is there but yet our people want to walk away.
Someone told me the other day how one China young lady set up a clothing shop at Bugis Village paying almost $5000/month  rental. In less than 3 years, she has set up three more shops and is earning a healthy $20, 000-a-month profit after minusing all her cost.
She will buy cheap fanciful clothings from Shenzhen paying $3 a piece as she bought them cheap in bulk and retail them at $40 a pece at her shops. Once bargained down to $30, she will let the customer  has it.
Are foreigners hungrier  than Singaporeans?   Apparently so…
While working in China, I saw many one-man entrepreneurs setting up shops in dirty back lanes dealing with all kinds of businesses that can earn money. Some deal with photostating stuff whereas others simply sell IPhone covers.
They do not really have huge ambitions to be the next Apple or Facebook inventor but they all manage to survive and outperform those who found work in the government or private sector. More importantly, they are happy and free to manage their business and life the way they want it to be.
I have listed seven reasons why Singaporeans will not easily succeed as an entrepreneur:-
1. Over focusing on educational achievement
We have all along over focus on our educational chievement so much so that we end up feeling like a failure if we don't go to universities or simply not academically inclined. Moreover, having a degree normally means that the person will go on to look for a well-paying job or else the money spends on the tiertiary programme will be deemed as gone to waste.
That is probably why many non-graduate Singaporeans end up taking expensive evening classes or study overseas to stay on par with the average graduate Singaporeans.
More importantly, non-graduates will feel that they have under perform and even belittled their other natural skills – rendering them to be negative in their outlook of life. Their confidence level is at its lowest ebb and even if he has the aptitude for risk taking, his negative tone  and slack body langauge will  give him away.
We all knew how great entrepreneuers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs do not possess any college degrees but yet their lack of formal education does not deny them to become one of the world's best inventors in the 21st century.
In fact, some friends mentioned that if Bill Gates or Steve Jobs managed to attain their degrees the conventional way, they may lose their hunger for invention and aptitude for risk. It was fortunate that they followed  after their dream and pursued after them doggedly – despite some initial personal setbacks.
Moreover, studying hard ususally uses more of the left brain which emphasizes analytical thinking and rules whereas the rarely-used right brain taxes more of the intuition and free association – traits  of the entrepreneur.
After studying 15 years non-stop, the left brain of the Singaporean  is  being heavily over-used thus rendering the person to be  compliant and very organised – traits that are anti-entrepreneurial.
Though having a degree is beneficial for one's career path, the over-emphasis on  getting  a degree just to enhance one's employability does not encourage the person to be adventurous and driven.
He merely becomes an educated component of the overall workforce and became a slave of his limited abilities.
2. Low-risk safe environment
When I went  to the playground with my daughter many years ago and  she was still little, I was amazed at  how mums and maids would  follow their tiny toddlers around to ensure that they won't fall.
Little kids already learn how, from young, to avoid taking risks and lost the sense of adventure when mums told them not to do this or go there. They learn from young that taking risks or failing is bad for the health.
The current pampering risk-averse parental skills used on our children will not help us to raise confident bright kids.
They may be book smart but not necessarily streetmark and driven in life. They may even study hard just to please their parents and not doing it because they wanted to do it for themselves.
Successful entrepreneurs tend to day dream alot and have vast amount of space to explore their natural interests. We may not have provided that kind of care-free environment early in life for our kids.
The risk-averse conditioning here continues  when we enter national service as stepping out of line means the guardroom or severe punishment.
I am not advocating that our soldiers go against the order of their officers here but frankly the two-year national service stint does not help our guys to be more adventurous and risk-taking.
In fact, it has further pushed us to toe the line more and forced us to follow the crowd – as doing so otherwise will bring forth adverse consequences.
We are being raised in a low-risk safe environment that habitually  prevents people from experimenting with ideas  for fear that it will jeopardise our comfort zone.
It is for this reason that many PMETs are willing to take on low-waged comfortable jobs such as $1800/month than go on to risk at  an entrepreneurial idea.
We rather have on hand three square meals a day holding on to an ordinary job than having a meal  a day while out experimenting with a business idea.
3. Lack of acceptance for failure
Our meritocratic philiosophy here also discourages failure.
Many young people I know feel ike a sore loser when  they failed at their exams or do not score enough As.
Most businesses unfortunately do not succeed at the first instance.
I have friends who dared  to take the first plunge into starting their own businesses but too often chickened back to working when their businesses failed after testing it out for a few months. The appetite for risk taking is really pathetically low.
We all know how businesses normally require a few tries before they become successful. Each failure by itself is a lesson learnt and after a few failures, the entrepreneur who persisted  doggedly will have his taste of success.
The fear of failure plus a lack of dogged persistence are  the major reasons why Singaporeans do not have alot of successful entrepreneurs.
Moreover, too often a nagging wife – who is very risk-adverse –  will be the first one to mock at the failure of their loved one – effectively rubbing salt on to the painful wound of a crushed ego.
Monthly mortgage repayment plus many other bills that need a steady stream of income are further deterrances.
That is probably why married mid-aged PMETs are the worse kind of entrepreneurs as they are beseiged with all kinds of financial repayment schemes that requires a regular steady stream of income.
Perhaps, more can be done to encourage our young graduates – who have yet to marry or purchase a tied-down house, to be entrepreneurial.
Spring Singapore has a scheme that provides a startup fund of $50, 000 to budding entrepreneurs age below 26 years old. Interested eligible Singaporeans can check out the website for more details.
4. Peer pressure
There is also simply too much peer pressure on our young graduates to look for a job after graduation.
The relatively high income – especially those hailing from the banking sector, deters many from venturing out into the unknown world of entreprenuers whereby only the best top 10% succeeds.
Many new startups are also initially tight in cash flow and  entrepreneurs take home only a small allowance every month as it will requires at least a year or two for the businesses to be profitable.
In instant-result Singapore, waiting for a few years for ventures to pay off is simply not in our psychological psyche anymore – at least not for the young impatient graduates.
We want fast cash and instant rewards -a trend that is increasingly seen in a fast-packed society that does not thrive on  delayed gratification.
When we invest in a business venture, its more like the stock market mentality – one that allows the investor to lock in profits at the end of the day than holding  it for the long term.
With such an intense instant-result business environment, many budding entrepreneurs rather take on a $5000-a-month salaried job in the banks than sweat it out as a risky entrepreneur with no guarantee of any successful return.
Moreover, it is tough to see all your friends driving and earning a fat income and you as an entrepreneur drawing a pittance because you want to explore a dream.
5. Government-linked companies and government involvement
Local small and medium enterprises have all along lamented that our country has interfered too much in the business environment here by setting up like-minded companies to compete with small local companies.
For example, NTUC Learning Hub was set up a few years ago when WDA was dispensing millions of dollars in training aids to prepare the retrenched PMETs  for skills upgrading during the recent global financial crisis.
Together with two other private training agencies, they dominated the training arena snatching a large slice of the upgrading pie worth hundreds of millions – leaving the scrimps for the two smaller training centres.
NTUC Childcare centre has also entered  the childcare business and has since emerged as the major player for childcaring business.
NTUC Fairprice has also dominated the supermarket  food retail  business here for the past two decades  - leaving out other private supermarkets in the cold.
With the government actively getting involved in the money-making business environment, small and medium enterprises have no choice but to compete on providing  better services or at cheaper prices to the consumers.
It is no wonder that many Singaporeans think twice when they enter the small business environment here as they have to compete with the big boys plus the government for a slice of the pie.
It is hope that the government will rethink it's policy of snatching  away whatever profitable business available by being a competitor.
If we want Singaporeans to be entrepreneurial, we must ensure that there is sufficient business for profit-making or else people will simply go back to being a worker. The sacrifices and return must be worth it.
6. Lack of successful entrepreneur model
When people think of successful entrepreneurs here, they can only think of one person – Mr Sim of Creative Technology.
Of late, the company is also very quiet and has yet to come up with any world-grabbing technological gadget.
There isn't any solid local business that has managed to impress and motivate others to follow their footpath.
Some have mentioned the Adamn Khoo's enrichment group or the BreadTalk bakery food chain but these local businesses have yet to really take the world by storm even though locally they are very successful business models.
In Japan, car manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota and Suzuki have chalked up impressive credentials abroad and can be counted as international brand names.
In Korea, Kia and Samsung are two of the largest household names that have managed to penetrate to almost all of the countries worldwide.
In Taiwan, Acer computer has managed to make its presence known by conquering the PC retail market worldwide.
Of course, the Americans – well known for being leaders in the area of entrepreneurship, have global brand names such as Facebook, Apple and Microsoft as their international flagships.
The Americans have a solid culture of adventurous risk-taking and it starts from the day they entered school to when they have graduated. Children are taught to ask questions and debate on theories in schools when they grow older.
Though they may lag behind in exam scores for Maths and Science during international competitions, they surge well ahead in thinking skills and verbal communication.
Most of them have to stay  away from their families due to the long distance from their campuses and this personal element cultivates strong individualism and most importantly self confidence in surviving alone.
The entrepreneur very often has to tackle multi-faceted work issues alone and if he is not steady and self confident enough, he may throw in the towel readily.
Most Americans of above average  intelligence also tend to head large corporations because they could lead and communicate their ideas effectively compared to Asians with better exam results. Their self confidence and ability to think on their feet tend to qualify them for key positions in companies.
Asians are not as good when it comes to articulating their thoughts – perhaps due to our classroom conditioning of accepting whatever our teachers tell us in schools. It is also seen as impolite to always question your teachers openly.
I did that quite often when I was studying and was told by my teachers  to only ask questions when classes ended. The same thing happened when I questioned my bosses frequently at work and was branded as a trouble maker and very negative.
I became very Singaporeans later on as I realised that speaking out – especially in meetings, tend to embarass your bosses and they disliked it immensely.
7. Lack of adaptability
When I was working in China for a private school few years ago, I was shocked to hear that the school has tried out many different lecturers every year as most local lecturers could not withstand the harsh winter cold and warm summer conditions there.
A lecturer who travelled with me to Hubei left the position after two months as he too could not adapt to the harsh winter environment over there. We had three weeks of non-stop snowing and I didn't blame him for quitting after the long lunar new year break.
Strong adaptability and the ability to withstand hardships are two of the most crucial elements for an entrepreneur to be successful.
The teaching experience has allowed me to build on my regional exposure and opened up a few other opportunities later on in China. More importantly, it showed me that if I could survive sub zero wintry conditions and lived all alone by myself in a dark freezy apartment -  I could have survive anywhere in the world.
My self confidence level shot up a few notches after that teaching assignment and my adaptability curve also improved alot as I could boast that I survived in a foreign environment of a harsh culture.
A year after that trip, I set up transitioning.org as a registered society specialising in providing emotional coaching support to those who needed it. I also volunteered full time for the society without any viable income and this is my fourth year doing it.
I really doubted I would set up the  voluntary organisation if I have not first took that plunge into the unknown by leaving my comfort zone here for work  abroad.
For budding entrepreneurs, it may be wise to first work for a stint abroad to cement the emotional resilience before plunging head-on into a business venture. if you can't survive properly working abroad, it is really tough  having to rough it out as an entrepreneur.
As Singaporeans battle for jobs with our foreign talents here, it may be really wise for them to start thinking of doing something that they like on their own.
Too many mid-aged PMETs have became cabbies and property  agents during the past few years and  it is prudent for our Generation X to start experimenting on a few ideas during their free time in case they become victims of the forthcoming global financial crisis.

Patria Disla, the owner of Miracles & Beyond, Not Just Another Hair Salon, recently opened an adjourning portion of her building to house Beyond Life Boutique in Southington. For Disla, Beyond Life is more than just an eclectic mix of art and fashion—it is also a way for her to give back to people in need.
Through her new business, Disla said she will raise funds for mission trips to bring physical, spiritual and medical relief to the poor in the Dominican Republic.
"Before I started my shop, I had a desire to help the needy, to help more unfortunate people," Disla said. "I have always had the desire to help people who do not have the same as we do."
Disla has traveled on at least six mission trips with doctors and other missionaries, serving as a translator and spiritual counselor. She also participates in art, crafts and Bible study workshops for children. A parishioner of New Life Fellowship Church in Plainville, Disla has partnered up with FaithCare, Inc., which consists of a group of doctors who volunteer there time to travel to the Dominican Republic.
Between seeing a lack of access to food, water and clothes and seeing people die from illnesses because they could not afford medical treatment, Disla said she realized that she needed to provided more than spiritual needs. Her next mission trip will take place next June.
"It needed more than just going down there temporarily—it was an ongoing thing," said Disla, who is from the Dominican Republic. "It was very touching, and it broke my heart to see that happening."
Upon returning from her first mission trip, Disla told her clients about what she experienced, and they have helped in the best way they could by giving donations like clothes, and other necessities. When not on a mission trip, Disla ships boxes of donations, including clothes, school supplies, food, medicine and other miscellaneous items. Through the establishment of her store, Disla hopes to focus on her mission trip even more, with the hope of helping more people in need.
"I cannot express to you how they are so grateful for everything they have received," said Disla, who received approval this past June from the landlord of the adjoining portion of her business. "They even say constantly, that they never have experienced someone that cared and loved them the way that we have loved them."
Disla recalled how during her last trip this past June, a seven-year-old boy from the village she stayed in touched her heart through his way of saying thank you. Among 100 other children, the little boy stood up with a t-shirt Disla gave him saying, "You did not have to do it, but you did—I just want to say thank you."
"That really touched me, because it was such a simple t-shirt, worn by someone else," Disla said.
Filled with vibrant, bold colors, Beyond Life contains a variety of vintage pieces, some of which Disla found at antique shows and auctions. When customers walk in, she greets them with a cup of tea to make them feel comfortable. Disla said she hopes customers will come to her boutique with an open mind and an open heart.
"This is not for me at all—this is to try and help people out in so many different ways," Disla said. "Just by being a client, you can be a part of the mission."
Dennis Keis, an accomplished master engraver, helped Disla paint the walls with different colors, and worked on the sign above the entrance.
Keis said he hopes the support of the community through Disla's new store will help her mission work grow.
"I want to see this establish something over there that will be durable and long-lasting," said Keis who met Disla through their church. "There are so many needs over there, and on a small scale, it is really hard to meet those needs."
Beyond Life Boutique is open on Thursdays and Fridays from 12-5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Michael Sam provided compelling evidence Saturday that he's absolutely the right guy for this unique spotlight.
Sam, the NFL's first openly gay draft prospect, was at complete ease answering questions from a massive media contingent during his availability at the NFL Scouting Combine.
One of those questions centered on the Miami Dolphins, whose ugly locker room culture was laid bare in Ted Wells' independent report released last week. Knowing what the public now knows, would Sam be comfortable getting his name called by the Dolphins at Radio City Music Hall?
"If the Miami Dolphins drafted me I will be excited to be a part of that organization, but I'm not thinking about going into that environment," he said. "I know how to handle myself. I know how to communicate with my teammates. I know how to communicate with the coaches and know the staff, whoever I need to communicate with."
If Richie Incognito were still under the radar and causing havoc, Sam might have something to worry about. But you can safely assume the Dolphins' locker room in 2014 will be very, very different from the way it was a year earlier.
In truth, the Dolphins could be one of the best places Sam could land. Imagine that.

The dead know where you are, and they are hungry.
The runaway success of AMC's "The Walking Dead" highlights the recent potency of zombie stories. Once wholly a genre for horror/grind house cinema, zombie media has made the tough crossover from "pulp" to "pulpular." "Zombie walks," including thousands of participants shuffling in gore makeup, are a global trend, bringing flash mob energy to raise money for charities—usually to combat brain disease. Zombie games are routinely on top lists in app stores, and longer video games, including "Dead Space," bring the apocalypse into our living rooms. The list goes on, and gets an addition today with the zombie love story movie Warm Bodies.
For a theme with such diverse expression, the zombie genre's conventions are surprisingly rigid. Most stories follow a strict formula: The dead rise and eat, the living flee and fight, and the credits roll. Some tales end well for the living, more end poorly, but these essentials are present in all, marking the limits of a traditional zombie tale as inflexibly as any folk story.
For all the screams and splatter, these common story elements provide a backdrop for filmmakers to talk candidly about the human condition. The first three entries in seminal zombie director George A. Romero's "Dead" series are fine examples of this, using the cannibal corpses to skewer major cultural issues such as racism, consumerism, and abuse of human power.
Romero's Dawn of the Dead is a classic example, featuring a small band of well-armed survivors safely hiding in an abandoned shopping mall. With abundant food, ammunition, and consumer goods, they are living the American ...1

Quick Review
What's the biggest ladyboy cock you've ever seen? If it's bigger than the nine inches belonging to Mint I'd be surprised. The site is called Long Mint because her huge ladyboy dick is the thing that separates her from all the other Asian shemales out there. She also happens to be beautiful with long flowing hair, a great set of tits, a tiny waist and a tight tummy. Put it all together and you've got a sure fire recipe for success.
Mint does more than just show you her big cock though. She has a big collection of lingerie and costumes that she loves to dig into for her photo sets and videos and she's not above doing a hot hardcore set every now and then. It would be a shame if she didn't want to share that big cock with the world so it's nice to see her let a man plan with it every now and then. Wouldn't you like to play with her massive shemale cock meat?

The other night, I dipped into Molten Core with a 90 Pandaren Monk, having a great time soloing the place given the utterly laughable amount of health those Classic raid bosses have in comparison to today's. However, Molten Core was the only raid instance in the game before 5.1 that you could get into without a raid group (by teleporting directly into it via the NPC outside).
In 5.1, this changed – all pre-Pandaria raids now no longer require raid groups, which means you can go in as a party, or, more importantly, by yourself. This is a huge change, and it means that if you don't want to be part of a raiding guild but still want to see some of the best content WoW can provide, you can now just head on in by yourself and crush it all (within reason).
However, once you hit Vashj, the end boss of Burning Crusade's Serpentshrine Cavern, you'll swiftly realise that not only do you have to think like a DPS nut, but you've also got to think like a tank, and a healer. It's a tough job, especially if you're a monk, as you'll swiftly end up being chain-feared all over the place if you're not killing off the right mobs from extreme range (which is not very easy in that class).
Even if you're a mage, you'll find yourself doing a little tanking, and it's amusing because you're probably not that used to it, at least when using that class. The only notable time a mage has tanked anything was in the Maulgar fight in Gruul's Lair, so to think of yourself crunching through Onyxia or Ragnaros as they wail on you in fury is quite a surreal thought.
But if you're used to firing off spells, arrows and what-not from range, or healing, then you're going to need to start thinking like a tank – being the focus of a raid boss is a lot of work, and a high amount of stress, even if you're very powerful. While you may know how to play your class extremely well, if you've never had to tank with it or heal yourself solo as you do so, then you're going to be in for a wipe-filled learning experience.
Your best bet is, as you level, to always challenge yourself while soloing content. Killing ten undead? Take four or five at once, and see how you do. By putting yourself in a position where it's you with the aggro and the damage, you'll teach yourself quickly how to manage fights where the odds aren't always in your favour. You'll also start to think about positioning, pace, taking risks, maintaining battles on multiple fronts – all good tanking skills.
The best part is you don't have to worry about the most important part of tanking – keeping aggro. Why? Well, because you're the only one there! So with that taken care of, things are actually pretty simple as long as you read up on some of the harder fights and ensure that certain mechanics won't take you out. A great part of soloing raid content is that boss abilities quite frequently avoid the person at the top of the aggro list, so many of the really dangerous boss abilities (like X's "HP down to 1" nightmare in Karazhan) are a non-issue unless you've got a pet.
So your best bet is to grab some potions (just in case), buff yourself up, ensure your iLVL is a reasonable way past 400, and go for it. To comfort you, let me put it this way – you'll have, on average, more health than most of the trash you'll run into in Classic and BC, and Magtheridon on a 90 Pandaren Monk takes five minutes and doesn't require any desperate measures. Have fun!

Proms Chamber Music 6: the Escher Quartet
BBC New Generation Artists the Escher Quartet feature in today's Lunchtime Concert of live music from the Proms at Cadogan Hall
Clemency Burton-Hill presents a live concert of chamber music from Cadogan Hall, featuring the Escher Quartet in works by Debussy and Hugh Wood. Debussy's String Quartet is a relatively early work in the composer's output, a colourful and daring piece with an improvisatory tone.
Hugh Wood completed his String Quartet No. 4 for a BBC commission and it was recently selected for Encore - a partnership scheme between the Royal Philharmonic Society and BBC Radio 3. Cast in four-movements, it's a tightly written and passionate work.

|Athena Lee Chronicles
|Care of
|Safe to machine wash and tumble dry on low.
I'm now into my second year as a published author. With over 25 works under my belt already my pace is relentless. Writing was never a goal of mine growing up. I really did fall into this accidentally. My wife and family knew of my love of books and urged me to try writing. It wasn't until an author i befriended gave me a short push off a long pier that i really gave it a go. And what a go that was! Athena Lee and Agatha Blackmore have given way to over 50 short stories. I write a lot. The future is in books and I'm in it for the long haul. Keep your eyes peeled for New and exciting things coming from me this year. I'm Excited, are you?
This year i have expanded into the wonderful world of Cookbooks. I changed careers in the early 2000s switching from Retail management at Waldenbooks and going to Culinary School at L'Ecole Culinaire-Saint Louis in Missouri. Graduating near the very top of my class i moved on to work at the Renaissance Grand Hotel for my internship and later Masterpiece BBQ in Chesterfield, Mo as kitchen Manager. My co-writer and partner in crime for the current Tie-in cookbooks is Taki Drake. She is both an fiction writer and recipe hoarder like myself. Expect to see much more from her in the near future as she will be writing inside my Federal Witch Universe.
Recently, I allied myself with Phoenix Prime. Late in 2016. a group of authors entered into the Phoenix Prime writers course sponsored initially by the 20books to 50k Facebook group, of which I am a founding member. Writer, Psychologist, and Computer security specialist extraordinaire Kat Lind chose to teach the class. Several other Authors were asked to mentor and teach special classes. I was honored to be asked to do some of that. The Group is made up of over 30 authors across all Genres. Many are just starting their publishing careers and i expect greatness from them.
Keep your eyes peeled for New and exciting things coming from me this year. I'm Excited, are you?

Make Warhol's Ghost Proud: Eccentric Dress Encouraged!
Triad birthday bash for Timothy Williams, James Mathers, Eric Dhyrsen
Like Willem DeKooning, Artist/Musician TIMOTHY WILLIAMS, supported his art making by house painting. Finding discarded vintage doors and windows from the houses he painted and off the street, distressing them further and placing his oceanic-stained glass paintings behind the glass Timothy's work gained notoriety and started selling in famed Venice artist Terrell Moore's Westminster Garage Gallery in the 90's and is now included with the likes of Picasso and Matisse in Hammer Museum owners Michael Hammer Collection, Weinstein Gallery Director Michael Miller, Bauhaus/Love & Rockets Bass Man David J, and film producer Alan Mindel. "Timothy has hit upon an original style. I haven't seen anything that looks quite like his work. I appreciate the way his art looks old and mysterious yet new and never seen before." -Michael Hammer. Timothy and actress wife, Rainbow Underhill, opened the seminal Culver City Black Cat Gallery known for it's melting cauldron of creativity. Since 2000 Black Cat's shows have included fine art, music, dj's, architecture & fashion shows. Los Angeles Times listed Black Cat as one of LA's best galleries.
myspace.com/timothywilliamsart timothywilliamsart.blogspot.com myspace.com/musicbyblackcat
Since Andy Warhol gave JAMES MATHERS his first one man show at New York's famed Paige Powell Gallery, where Jean-Michel Basquiat also made his start, the World of Art has undeniably recognized the fierce talent and genius of this LA based Soul Attacking, Mind-Bending Master Painter. Mather's collectors include the famous
Corsini Family of Florence, Actors Nicholas Cage, Eric Idle (Monty Python) and Beverly D'Angelo, Crowded House singer Tim Finn, and Dublin's famed Guinness Draught Co. Owner Marina Guinness. The Art of Mr. Mathers will arrest your vision, flex your convictions, slap and somehow soothe your soul. James has shown at Edgemar Center for the Arts, Turskin Whitney, Phoenix, Sponto, Attack, Zero One, Charley Cowles, Gracy Mansion, and Nature Mort Galleries in the states and has also shown internationally in Zurich, Rome, Berlin, Dublin, and Amsterdam. Adding to his prolific art career James has also directed 3 independent feature films, "Crushproof", "Bungalow 19", "Karmageddon" and had a major role in "Malibu Song"- a documentary film about the state closure and destruction of the homes of the Topanga Arts Community.
Legendary platinum music producer GEZA X helped invent Punk Rock producing seminal acts Black Flag, The Germs, Dead Kennedy's, etc. and performing/recording his own art damaged music since punk's beginning in the late 70's. His productions of "Holiday in Cambodia" for the Dead Kennedys and "Lexicon Devil" for The Germs separated California's punk sound from others at the time with its eccentricity, humor and spunk, making Los Angeles very different than the scene in New York or London. In the 90's Geza produced Meredith Brooks's song "Bitch" which went platinum ranking #2 on the charts and the musical bible Billboard Magazine voted Geza "Best Producer of the Year" in 1997. Since the 80's Geza began taking pictures of the early punk scene. Geza now takes those pictures, such as a 1979 photo he shot of Red Hot Chili Pepper singer Anthony Keidis, dramatically alters it via computer, prints the altered photo on canvas, adds paint to the canvas and frames the completed works with copper tubing. He describes his artworks as "Biomorphic Shutterings." The neo-Warhol, pop-iconic, and vibrantly colorful style work comes across as contemporary to the core with harrowing whispers of yesterday. Geza has shown in several group shows including Track 16 and Black Cat Galleries. Geza's art collectors include Tool manager Victoria Blake, Philanthropist Cameron Melville, and famed artist manager and collector Peter Hursch.
myspace.com/gezaxart myspace.com/geza_x
MICHAEL BERG will be performing his musically superb and highly original dark folk/nighttime cafÈ ballads at 10PM.
David J of Bauhaus/Love and Rockets has recently produced Michael's new album "Lights Down", which gives shades of Nick Drake and Jacques Brel sung with Michael's own unique storytelling style. Against the backdrop of his fingerpicked guitar or piano you will find this is real music by a real artist! If you are ailing from the C-grade "singer/songwriter" musical impostors who shove insipid music into our lives via big media, Michael Berg is your new medicine man! Give "Save Me" a listen for immediate relief, musical inspiration and hope from the evening shadows.

Shrine Report
People I forgot to photograph, include the Bridges, of Pendant Productions (Your Source for Original Radio Dramas!) who do wonderful fan, superhero radio shows. Comic dealers Eliot & Josh Spero, and staff, who we had the table next to ours (and bought work off of me) as well as my friend Dan, who knowing nothing about comic books, helped me out all day long, without complaint or pay. Thanks also go out to Heidi MacDonald for making an anouncment about my table on her blog for Publishers Weekly, called The Beat.
Lastly I'd like to thank Bruce Schwzartz for providing me with the table at an amazingly low rate.

The Big 2007 San Diego Comic Con Wrap-up: One Month Later
Anyway we were there, pushing our new comic The Back Lipstick Curse.
Two things: One, I forgot to take pictures while I was there, so I'm going to find ways to substitute them with other things (and there are plenty of photos on line anyway) and two, my hearts really not in this. I love comic con, but it was so big this year, so overwhelming, that I came away with a feeling of isolation, that I believe was shared by many a comic book (and graphic novel) creator. I know that sounds odd, with over 150,000 people in attendance, but with so many other things to compete with, that had nothing to do with comics, and so many people going this way and that, it all kind of started to feel a little meaningless.
Right, let's start with the arrival, where we first got our badges and souvenir books. Great news on that front. All of my students Star Wars 30th anniversary pin-ups made it in. Great job kids.
Then it was on to:
10:30-11:30 From Fan to Creator: Goal-Setting for Creative Types—Which side of the convention table do you want to be on, artist or fan? If it's artist, what's keeping you from getting there? If you have an idea in your head that you've had trouble bringing into reality, you might benefit from this practical goal-setting workshop. Teacher and leadership trainer Douglas Neff will show you techniques for setting and achieving your most important goals. Whether you want to write your own screenplay, draw your first comic, or shoot your independent film, you're sure to get something useful from this informative workshop. Room 30CDE
On our way we got to wave hi to our passing friend Pan Noles as she shuffled Neil Gaiman to some unknown event. She came an went so quickly, it made me feel a little sad. Anyway, the room was full. Took a peek in, to see what it was all about, and lost interest very fast. Listening to the man talk, I realized I'm living the goal-setting lifestyle as it is, so it was off to the exhibit hall for us, where our little girl Katelyn met her first celebrity.
As you can see, it was love at first sight. As we rolled wee lass away, she kept turning around for one last look. Damn cute.
Now, where did we stop? In no particular order.
Exhibit A Press:
...where we picked up the Supernatural Law Companion. It's a wonderful little book written by artist and writer Batton Lash's wonderful wife (and SL editor) Jackie Estrada, who was kind enough to note my small contribution to their comic within. Jack also had the presence of mind to take photos.
Then it was on to Eddie Campbell, whom I also didn't get to see for very long, and for the stupidest reason. By the time we got to see him, we weren't sure if we had enough money to stay parked where we we're, and thus cut short our last day at the con. I hate being broke.
Neko Press. Wonderful people. Great art. Took some video of artist and owner Billy Martinez, doing some fantastic live painting. Enlarge the picture to see when his next show is by the way. I did a piece on them, in this blog, which you can read here.
I'd like to thank David Mack for this poster and the copies of Kabuki that he gave to my students at Art Is Our Passion. David, I will not forget your continued kindness toward my students, and your support of their education.
We also go to spend some time with another great comic book painter, Dan Brereton who is going to be coming out with a whole bunch of new stories for his book The Nocturnals. I cant tell you how much I love his work, and I really recommend you pick it up.
Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg where on hand, signing their book The Plain Janes. I think this is a very good book to put into the hands of any young person.
My wife Faith, and baby Katelyn watch as am unidentified ego goes by.
I stop to say hi to one of my fans.
Also stopped and traded coming with the folks at Bleeding Edge, who I'm quite a fan of. Believe it or not, I really like the comic they're putting out, to tell the story of their toys. It's sincere, and unashamed of what it is. A quality sorely laking in a lot of things goth.
We also had the pleasure of meeting up with Dame Darcy, for a nice chat about our upcoming projects. She's a very nice woman with an imagination to match, and I love her work.
Another victim of the parking lot cures were our friends at Penny-Farthing Press, whom I've written about here, and who have just debuted there first animated film, The Lock.

Technology Advisory Committee
April 11, 2011
Attending: Andreas Brockhaus, Rob Estes, Brian Fletcher, David Goldstein, Ted Hiebert, David Lane, Lane McKittrick, Tim Rhoades, Betsy Tippens, Lindsey Wille
Not attending: Eric Chan, Carol Leppa, Joe Shelley
Equipment Replacement Update
As part of budget discussions, Kenyon Chan asked IT to provide information about the impact of a 60% cut to the equipment replacement budget in each of the next two years. It is important to note that desktop computers are a small part of this budget. The biggest impact would be felt with regard to technology in the classrooms and backend campus infrastructure. A cut of this magnitude would seriously limit our ability to move forward with campus goals for growth in hybrid education and innovation. Additionally, technology upgrades that are delayed for a year or two would create a snowballing effect. Other upgrades and projects that are dependent on that technology would get delayed as well, resulting in a large backlog of technology requirements. Funds not spent during the coming biennium would still need to be spent later. If $600,000 is not spent on technology upgrades during this biennium, that amount would still need to be spent in a subsequent year, along with the money already allocated for that year.
The committee felt that scaling back technology seems opposed to the messages about campus strategy as we move forward. New degrees being proposed rely on technology infrastructure remaining at its current level, or being improved. The committee suggested that the campus should look elsewhere for budget cuts.
Several committee members also pointed out that a cut in this budget would entail increased staff cost in this coming biennium to maintain aging equipment and in the following biennium to complete deferred projects.
There was also a suggestion that the budget be retitled to make it more obvious that it funds backend infrastructure and classroom presentation technologies. Technology Infrastructure Update budget was suggested.
Student Technology Fee Update
Brian Fletcher attends Student Technology Fee committee meetings in an advisory capacity. Although decisions have not been made, Brian gave a brief update about the work of the committee. They are paying more attention to bylaws that suggest STF should not support technology directly related to teaching, pointing out that this should be the institution's responsibility. This is a recent change in their decision-making, leaving us with several situations where STF originally funded technology that must now be funded through the equipment replacement budget or some other source. The Digital Media Lab was mentioned as an example.
Technology Budget Proposals
Betsy explained the list of budget proposals submitted by IT and asked for feedback. The committee felt that our prioritization of hybrid and e-learning support should change if the campus cuts back on technology spending. There was some discussion of whether any of the part time positions proposed by IT could be combined to make one full time position. The Project Manager and the E-Learning Specialist could be meshed into one.
