Comments on RFPs: The Least Creative Way to Hire People
by Greg Hoy
33 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
Greg hi, I agree with your comments completely. I suspect it is because most rfp's come from non creative people! Don't you? people who can't let the natural course of the creative process flow. Do you not think the same issue could be said about education and how schools kill creativity generally! You can see a great speach on this from Sir Ken Robinson here at TED http://bit.ly/iLfWCX Duncan
As someone who issues and assesses RFPs, don't get me wrong - I hear you on the arbitrary hoops you have to jump through and how much it costs you to jump therein. But you have to realise, it wasn't like one day GSA woke up and decided to replace the golf course with Takashi's Castle. There was a long and sordid history of hookers and blow on yachts in international waters (yes it really happened). There are still large multinationals who flaunt the RFP requirements because "nobody got fired for hiring X" only to turn around and issue 200% change requests for things you thought were included. There are still tiny design houses who rush across town on bike to jam something in a box with minutes to spare (what does that say about the way you work?)... even worse they do it online and I pull up the access logs to show they didn't even have the page open before the deadline.
The golf course sucks. You might act honorably and it might make you more creative and make us happier. But some huge multinational might also be there with a contract to sell our soul to the devil. And that's a risk we can no longer take.
Hi Greg,
Great article, and I've said many of the same things on "our blog":http://blog.confluentforms.com/p/all-about-requests-for-proposals-rfps.html . That might come across as somewhat funny since I'm also the owner of "the RFP Database":http://www.rfpdb.com . Sure, there is a ton of stupidity in the RFP process (you can "drink to it":http://blog.confluentforms.com/2011/03/requests-for-proposals-rfp-drinking.html ), but if you know how to play the game, know how to play the odds, know how to be selective, and know how to submit a proposal that demonstrates how incredibly perfect you are for the project, the RFP can be used for Good.
I've been on both sides of the table, having worked for consulting companies responding to RFP's and for corporations issuing RFPs. You have to learn to play the game: answer the RFP exactly as specified; if you don't like the rules, then don't play. When reviewing responses, it's much easier to have similar things to compare; we're usually looking at capabilities, experience, price, and original thinking.
I realize that last one is hard to express in 10 pt Arial, but, when I've been on the other side and responding to RFPs, we always did exactly what was requested -and- a more creative, original response. Yes, it's hard to do two things and you may feel like you don't have enough time, it's a black box process, etc. ...but it's the name of the game.
You aren't going to change it, so learn to deal with it. Corporate policy is slow to change and winning contracts with such companies can lead to years of work for a creative agency. Bite the bullet.
I occasionally respond to an RFP, but for the most part I have found them to be a waste of time. A few examples as to why:
-Companies (or gov't departments) that go through the motions of issuing an RFP because it is part of their specifications, but who intend to hire the same folks who did it the last 10 years anyway.
-Companies who intend to hire the lowest bidder regardless of any of the other info (bios, portfolios, etc) required.
-I received an RFP once for a web design project that went on for three pages of required info, including a detailed plan for testing on multiple browsers, usability testing protocols, creative philosophy, etc. I was excited at first because I thought this must be for a really big, important project. Then I saw the line that said they had a budget of $2,000. I would have taken $500 worth of my time just to respond to the RFP.
-For a time I subscribed to a service that allowed me access to RFPs for all state government departments throughout the state of North Carolina. If there had been a consistent protocol for RFPs, it would have been worth my while to bid on some of the projects. But it wasn't worth my time to, say, prepare an RFP on specially-purchased paper (to meet their requirement of a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste), and then be disqualified because I missed the line saying "no paper clips".
The RFP process will never go away as long as corporations rely on committees to make decisions.
RFP's have nothing at all to do with hiring the "best" designer or developer for a project. Their purpose is to provide the company managers who will oversee the project a tentative grasp of the complexities involved.
How does a designer or developer deal with RFP's? Don't respond unless it's a project you really want to do. Instead, be an upstanding professional and send a thank you note with a brief explanation why you don't respond to RFP's.
As long as creative professionals respond to RFP's, companies will have no reason to rethink the process.
Change only occurs when options are removed.
I digress ...
The following statement by mrmambois is utterly false in today's market: "Winning contracts with such companies can lead to years of work for a creative agency."
Fifteen years ago this statement was marginally accurate. However, it has and will forever be the king of sales pitches, "we're looking to establish a long-term relationship with a creative vendor." Complete horse shit.
Firstly, the article was a pleasure to read.
Secondly, I think it is a pipe dream. How third party businesses issue their tenders will always be down to the sometimes petty process involved in any given company or government organisation. I guess establishing relationships and garnering work that way would be ideal but not always possible.
As an example of a state law forcing use of the competitive bid/RFP process, this section from the Florida Statutes (http://vurl.me/BVVC) requires it for projects over a certain dollar amount threshold.
I used to wrangle together proposals for a few construction companies back in the day, so I know this process very well. What I find interesting is that exact list of requirements you mentioned were in all of the RFPs I answered. For a construction company.
Although one could argue that these are a standard set of questions, I still find it sad that people are using the same set of standards to gauge the creation of a website as they are to getting a parking garage built.
It's a if someone in the 1950's created the perfect RFP and it's been circulating around the world since then. People just keep changing the RFP number.
As someone who acts in a contracting officer's technical representative for the federal government, with industry experience on the other side responding to government RFPs, I think you should take a step back and breathe for a moment.
No one wants a creative response to an RFP. You've confused being creative with using creativity to _design_. I wouldn't think designers would be excellent at RFPs unless they had some systems engineering or were programmers, and left the creative design behind. The mindset isn't for designers, it is for understanding the process and repeating it. More being a programmer and the RFP is the API if you want an analogy. The RFP is a chance to respond with the the architectural design of your business model or plans or experience, not for exposing your company's individual creativity.
The federal acquisition regulations (FAR) spells out how thinks are contracted by the federal government. It is boring, droll stuff. It is supposed to be factual. However, it is often said that people don't agree on the facts, and understanding that point helps not only in analysis of RFPs, but creating them as well.
I'd write more, but this is definitely a conversation better handled over beer. :)
Excellent article Greg, I agree completely.
With regards to government entities and RFPs, in New Zealand at least it appears to be a requirement, seemingly all part of the democratic process. Any entity as an agent of a democratically elected government cannot be seen to be favouring any particular commercial entity over another. All taxpayers on an even footing.
Thanks also for the parenting advice - reminded my to lighten up on my kids :)
My very limited understanding of Federal procurement regulations is that under certain circumstances, a sole source contract may be awarded when (https://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart 6_3.html#wp1086841):
1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
2. Unusual and compelling urgency.
3. Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services.
4. International agreement.
5. Authorized or required by statute.
6. National security.
7. Public interest.
Otherwise, you're pretty much dealing with sealed bids (a contracting officer issues an Invitation for Bids and lowest bid gets the contract) or contract negotiating (contracting officer issues a Request for Proposals; allows increased flexibility in awarding a contract).
I also wonder if your examples of RFPs peculiar stipulations are due less to the prescriptive nature of regulations but instead point more to the ignorance (or perhaps laziness?) of contracting officers that issue the RFPs? Regardless, having come from the agency-side of things to a quasi-federal agency, I don't envy vendors who now have to put these RFPs together.
The Big Jim Camper was a great thrill and I was forced to play with it wearing one of those horrid Christmas sweaters from Grandma that caused incessant itching.
Every RFP I receive takes me back to that itchy sweater - Grandma's best intentions not withstanding it was simply irritating.
Greg, just a quick note to let you know that I agree with your comments for most sources issuing RFP's. However, you have to really look at it a bit more closely. One person commented here that there was a recent RFP from someone that was left "wide open" and was thus refreshing. We at NineSigma routinely issue RFP's seeking people and technologies on our Client's behalf with great results. We give lots of leeway to submitters to just attach qualifications they have available, and we even have a dedicated helpdesk to answer any questions respondents may have. The RFP is the initial vehicle to allow possible respondents to see what our clients are looking for and what's in it for them. It is the start of a dialog!
Best regards, Andy Zynga
We were once eliminated from an RFP process for asking too many questions. "Funny story.":http://www.imagescape.com/blog/strange-reason-be-shown-door/
This post resonated with me because the process as it is most often deployed simply doesn't serve anyone—agency or client—very well. And too often, it reduces creative thinking to a portfolio beauty contest—my business partner highlighted this issue in a <a >">post on our blog</a>—which further sabotages the possibility for a good outcome.
Here's a idea that could work for those organizations that are required to solicit bids via RFP: perform some due diligence before requesting proposals. Review websites and portfolios first. Then conduct interviews with only those firms whose work you like; use this stage to gauge team chemistry, to ask questions about projects they've worked on and the agency's creative process, and to discuss budgets so that you can put together a reasonable RFP. You should be able to narrow the field to 2-3 firms—and then ask only those to respond to the RFP. You'll be able to eliminate a lot of needless work on both ends, and the responses will be more thoughtful and specific to your project.
Once you've evaluated the "intangibles" and narrowed the field to pre-qualified candidates, the RFP can be simple and focus on quantitative information, like schedules, project scopes and budgets—which will make it both easier to respond to and easier to compare. In other words, win-win.
I think there's a certain amount of laziness on the part of those issuing RFPs; I also believe they are a hanger-on from a pre-digital era. When an RFP requests my company background, my bio, and samples of my work, I'm tempted send them a piece of paper with nothing on it but the address of my website, since all the questions they are asking are answered there.
I have mixed feelings about RFPs. I can understand why they exist and the necessity for them as a means to stop blatant nepotism and favoritism but then, on the other hand, they take a lot of time to answer and, yes, often squash creativity. The thing that perhaps annoys me the most though is how often they are conducted by companies as a mandatory exercise when in reality they already have a preferred developer (sometime's even their own in-house teams!) and then find reasons to pick them regardless.
I think RFP's are perhaps a good idea for some industries, however, not the creative one! I think this should be a separate process altogether, decided by each individual company, as they will know exactly the kind of people they are looking for, and what they want to get from them.
I think PDF's should definitely be allowed to be uploaded. If the people being hired are expected to be creative every day in the role they are applying for, then surely they need to let their creativity shine in their application. RFP's definitely hold designers back.
Greg, thank you for the great post.
My background is actually architecture, and we would spend in excess of $100,000 on a big chase - with absolutely nothing in return if you didn't hit the arbitrary marks on the RFP scales. And, it wasn't just our firm, it's the faulted industry.
Now in web design / development full-time, I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm not sure if it's a learned sixth sense, or a direct reaction to the pain, but sticking your finger in the light socket does have it's prolonged impacts.
I'm a big fan of The Win Without Pitching Manifesto - http://www.winwithoutpitching.com/manifesto which goes hand in hand with No Spec Work, and also attacks the issue of creatives doing work in an RFP world.
You mentioned starting a movement, once you guys are ready to push, we've all got your back.
I be of the same mind with your commentary completely. I suspect it is for the reason that the largest part rfp's turn up from non creative family
There was a long and sordid history of hookers and blow on yachts in international waters.There are still tiny design houses who rush across town on bike to jam something in a box with minutes to spare.I occasionally respond to an RFP, but for the most part I have found them to be a waste of time
I sat on both sides of the table and it is hard to be yourself even if you know how the other side of the table is thinking! Thanks for this blog it really was nice to read!
I worked 8 years for a design architecture firm, in the marketing department.
I know from RFPs. From the government forms that allow for no creativity, to the well formed RFPs that have exacting information requirements, but also allow you to "market" yourself. I still look over other people's marketing materials by first checking if the binding is good enough.
However, on the other side, what's more creative than a design competition, eh? A 3 month, multistage, unpaid, design competition…
There are worse alternatives out there.
The person or organization that is issuing the RFP is looking to solve a problem, and establish a price or cost to that end. As creatives, we are often trying to deliver Value - what the client needs, when they need it at a market price. Cost and Value are two very different things, and may be a cause of this consternation.
This dynamic works in reverse also. After the contract is signed, the client often discovers that their RFP is deficient because of budget/cost/time concerns - and they may not have thought out nor listened to the creatives value proposition. The good organizations consult with the contractor and amend the contract, and adjust the budget. This could be avoided if they listen to creatives before the contract is written.
I'm not sure I understand the point of the article. It sounds like you are complaining about poorly written RFP's and no so much the actual process. I used to work for the US Dept of Def, and we wrote a lot of RFPs mostly for IT type systems. We've received some very creative and some very poor proposals. I think a lot of it has to do with the RFP itself. The US Gov't has a HUGE guide to acquiring things. It's called the FAR (Federal Acquistion Regulation). Check out the table of contents here: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffara.htm It will take you 20 minutes just to read the table of contents. As large as the FAR is, it is actually quite helpful. It provides a framework for just about every type of purchase. From a full and open competition, where everyone and their brother can submit a proposal in the sense of fairness to a directed purchase at a price to be negotiated later because it's so urget we need it right now to support a war.
There is also a distinction to be made when evaluating proposals. Not every RFP is for the cheapest thing. Meaning, not every award has to be made to the lowest price offer (known as the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA)). The team doing the evaluation is allowed to do what is called a best value trade-off, which allows the Gov't to make a decision to pay for something they didn't specifically ask for, but that the offeror described in such a way as to make it worth them winning over the proposal that met the basic requirements and was cheaper. Again in the spirit of fairness, when the US Gov't solicits an RFP, it has to provide evaluation criteria and the guide it will use to "Grade" each proposal (it's like getting both the essay questions, and the process that the teacher will use to grade you). If a best value proposal is requested, then the gov't must also tell the offerors which factors are more important to others, and how the trade off will be graded. It takes a lot of time and thought to put these RFPs together.
If you push for anything, I think you should push people to spend time writing better requirements and RFP's, and think through how they will evaluate the proposals that they receive.
Sorry for the rambling.
PS - Did you know that the Gov't can allow Proposal Preparation costs to be submitted for reimbursement?
PPS - I like beer too.
I currently work for a law firm in Ohio, but there was a time when I workecd for an engineering consulting firm in Florida. In Florida, there are laws governing the RFP process, particularly when it comes to design-build projects for state or municipal facilities, structures, roadways, etc. Florida Statute Title 19-287.055 is called the Competitive Consulting Negotiation Act. This law has two basic purposes:
1. Promotion of fair and open competition
Reduces opportunity and appearance of favoritism
 Inspires public confidence that contracts are awarded equitably
 Uniform procedures and documentation are essential to curb
improprieties and ensure ethical process
Thank you for posting your interesting article, I hope such organisations have been able to read it (and understand it).
Early this year, I tried my first real RFP… and sure it was an 'interesting' experience, but for sure, I will never fill up such request again.
When you start reading their 24 pages reference document, only one page for the description of the work, 23 pages of many contractual requirements and conditions. That merely scares the designer that I am for the rest of the day, and the only thing you want to do is leaving this stuff behind. So many conditions for only ten type of layouts?, which are usually the one they maybe did one or two years ago… no reflexion, without any consideration about what they could really need, do, imagine, etc.
Well, as I promised myself to do it, I did it, completing all these details about ourselves, like if we were dangerous people to work with. As we are mainly 'visual people', it's not easy to write and present ourselves in a language which are not ours.
When they let me know about the differences between the costing of every proposals, there was over 215% difference between the lowest and highest quote (and most of them where based from the same country!). I don't say it's so surprising but still, the lowest quotes worried me as much the RFP request after all. And when your require some feedback about your proposal… Silence is the word ! (of course you've agreed on this when you've signed such offer ;-)
I had good experiences and relationships with organisations requesting an offer based on a first meeting, in order to see, if we can best meet their requirements, and to me that's a good point to start with, to first see if we can go along and make evolve a project together.
I used to be a "Certified Government Contractor"...which meant I was fairly skilled at sifting through BS. Although the RFP process is extremely daunting for a "newbie", just remember that 85% of the requirements are there because the Government got burned in the past at some point with a similar job request. With that said, the contracting officers, and COTRs, and everyone involved are there to "help" you. More often than not, you'll find you (as the expert) are needed to re-write the specs they provide. If that's the case, just remember they are only people, and relationship DOES have it's advantages…even though they say the decision is strictly objective. In summary, give RFPs their due diligence, BUT don't waste your time if you can't perform EVERYTHING in the requirements, or can find someone who can…cost effectively.
One issue with RFPs without the ability to discuss with the client is that unless we talk to the major movers/shakers, it's hard to clarify what's really needed, and thus the real scope of the job. I've found that sometimes a potential client will include something based on not fully understood language (but in reality they don't need it), and sometimes things are left out. This isn't surprising, since we can't assume that potential web clients are fully conversant with industry jargon, let alone the technology, nor are they always fully aware of all the things they *could * do, but a conversation would have sorted this out in short order.
??I have always been curious about whether there are state or federal laws that require a bid process for government agencies. I couldn't find any substantive information to support that for this article, so if you work for a government agency and can shed some light on this for us, please add your two cents in the comments area.??
Here is the regulation for the European Union (sorry, I don't know the rules for -to me- foreign countries like the USA):

I think i understand the basics of the calculations, but it would be nice to understand why the parts are needed. Which parts? Are we discussing the common emitter circuit?I also dont like the guessing part of the calculation, it seems to me that the part will likely behave about the same under similar conditions for most people. It's not a "guess". You have to start somewhere. Having only the least is a good start, if there's more (as in more beta, as may be likely) then it only gets better. The circuit will not be a worse performer for the transistor's having more beta (gain) than anticipated.It seems like it should be easy to look that up in a chart or graph, and get close with your calculations, but I wasnt able to do that, I had to test things, before I could get in the ballpark.How can I know where you're losing the plot? You haven't shown your work.I can't see what's going on in your schematics; they're pretty free-form, difficult to follow.
In the past I've done calculations, and later found out that real world numbers and calculations can be very different, its best to test things with the specific parts, and specific power supplies, because they can vary.
I still dont have any idea how to figure out how to figure out the gain/hfe/beta for the calculations,
It seems to me, that should be as simple as looking it up in a table on the datasheet.
The beta numbers 10 and 100 came from 2 different individuals, when I asked them where on the datasheet can I find the right value for my uses (20-240ma at 5v).
It seems to me, that there should be a few common resistors used with 2n2222 transistors, one for 5v, and other for 12v applications. the part is only good for about 1/2 amp (mine are smt, and only good for 350ma). I would think that I would find 5v circuits all had about the same value base resistor, and 12v circuits would have a different value, but the 12v circuits would all have a similar value base resistor.
I dont really see any value in the posts after I posted my calculations.
I am curious about the claims of vitriol though, but whatever, its probably not important.

No. 89,021
Battery against a law enforcement officer committed against a state correctional officer or employee by a person in custody of the Secretary of Corrections, in violation of K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3413, requires proof of the in-custody status of the defendant but not of the conviction that placed him or her in that status. Thus, use of the in-custody conviction to compute the defendant's criminal history score does not violate K.S.A. 21-4710(d)(11).
Appeal from Reno District Court; TIMOTHY J. CHAMBERS, judge. Opinion filed March 7, 2003. Sentence vacated and remanded with directions.
Franklin T. Bruce, assistant district attorney, Keith E. Schroeder, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellant.
Cheryl I. Allen and Sam S. Kepfield, of Legal Services for Prisoners, Inc., of Hutchinson, for appellee.
Before BEIER, P.J., WAHL, S.J., and PADDOCK, S.J.
WAHL, J.: The State of Kansas appeals from the sentence imposed upon the appellee for his conviction of attempted battery against a law enforcement officer pursuant to K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3413(a)(2).
The State argues that Perez-Moran's criminal history should not have been amended to H because both his prior felonies could permissibly be included under K.S.A. 21-4710(d)(11). Specifically, the State contends that appellee's prior convictions were not elements of battery against a law enforcement officer and, therefore, should have been used in the computation of his criminal history score. We agree.
Because this issue is one solely of Kansas Sentencing Guidelines interpretation, this court's review is unlimited. State v. Bolin, 266 Kan. 18, 24, 968 P.2d 1104 (1998). We also keep in mind that
"[c]riminal statutes must be strictly construed in favor of the accused. Any reasonable doubt about the meaning is decided in favor of anyone subjected to the criminal statute. The rule of strict construction, however, is subordinate to the rule that judicial interpretation must be reasonable and sensible to effect legislative design and intent. [Citation omitted.]" State v. McGill, 271 Kan. 150, 154, 22 P.3d 597 (2001).
At sentencing, the trial court determined that Perez-Moran's prior convictions, for which he was incarcerated at the time of the attempted batteries, could not be counted in his criminal history under K.S.A. 21-4710(d)(11), which provides:
"Prior convictions of any crime shall not be counted in determining the criminal history category if they enhance the severity level or applicable penalties, elevate the classification from misdemeanor to felony, or are the elements of the present crime of conviction. Except as otherwise provided, all other prior convictions will be considered and scored." (Emphasis added.)
The statute under which Perez-Moran was convicted in this case is K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3413, which provides in pertinent part:
"Battery against a law enforcement officer is a battery, as defined in K.S.A. 21-3412 and amendments thereto:
. . . .
(2) committed against a state correctional officer or employee by a person in custody of the secretary of corrections, while such officer or employee is engaged in the performance of such officer's or employee's duty."
The case upon which appellee primarily relies, and upon which the trial court appears to have based its decision, is State v. Taylor, 262 Kan. 471, 939 P.2d 904 (1997). In Taylor, the defendant was charged with aggravated escape from custody under K.S.A. 21-3810(a). The Taylor court held that all charges listed in the information for the new crime used to fulfill the element of "in lawful custody" could not be used to enhance a defendant's criminal history pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4710(d)(11), but that all other crimes could, and should, be used to compute the criminal history score under that same statute. 262 Kan. at 479-80.
There is a significant difference which distinguishes this case from Taylor. Aggravated escape requires that a defendant be "in lawful custody upon a charge or conviction of a felony." (Emphasis added.) K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3810(a); 262 Kan. at 479. Battery or attempted battery of a law enforcement officer requires that the defendant be "in custody of the secretary of corrections" at the time of commission of the crime. K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3413(a)(2).
"'In Kansas all crimes are statutory and the elements necessary to constitute a crime must be gathered wholly from the statute.'" State v. Smith, 245 Kan. 381, 396, 781 P.2d 666 (1989). Aggravated escape expressly requires a "charge or conviction" of a felony; battery of a law enforcement officer does not. The requirement that one be "in custody" to be guilty of battery on a law enforcement officer appears to be meant to establish the status of the perpetrator, i.e., to distinguish between inmates, who are covered under the statute, and visitors, administrators, or other guards, who are not.
If proof of the crime of conviction were required, it would necessarily mean that juries would hear evidence of prior crimes since at least one would be needed to prove an element of the charged crime.
To provide proof of being "in custody," testimony of a warden or the Secretary of Corrections as to the status of a defendant on a given day would probably suffice. Proving custody for aggravated escape would apparently require production of a charging document or journal entry of conviction. Since criminal elements may only be derived from the statute, it appears to defy the plain language of K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 21-3413(a)(2) to require proof of a conviction. While it may be inherent that only felons may be "in custody," the legislature has not expressly established proof of conviction as an element of the crime of battery against a law enforcement officer as it has for aggravated escape.
Because Perez-Moran's two prior felony convictions do not appear to fall under any exception under K.S.A. 21-4710(a) and (d)(11), both convictions should have been included in his criminal history score. The trial court erred when it amended appellee's score.
Sentence vacated and remanded for resentencing.

Buiding a PC for Premiere Pro - Need Guidence as Adobe Specs not adaqueteshnips6 Feb 3, 2012 3:52 PM
I am looking to purchase acustom PC for video editing. The software that I am currently running is Adobe Premier Pro CS4, but I do want to make sure that my machine will be more than capable to upgrade to CS5 without any performance issues.
Hardware is definately not my specailty and from what I read on these forums, adobe's listed computer specs for it's products, especially the video editing software is not adequete to run the software smoothly.
In some cases I have read that a hex core CPU is recommended and in others I have heard different. I have had two vendors quote me on different systems they say will be ideal, one is a hex core system and the other is a quad, and I also have peice one system together on a "build your own pc" website. I am just looking for some advice or guidance from people who actually use the software so that I don't go spend a lot of money on a system that I will have issues with. I do have a limited budget but am willing to spend about $2,500 to get set up.
Below are 3 systems that I am looking into. If anybody could tell me the pros and cons of these set ups or any red flags of an inadequete system, that would be great. As well, if there are any areas where an increase in cost is not worth a minimal increase in performance, that would be great to.

by Constance Garcia-Barrio
– Part One of Two
Speak of Yoruba, Vodun (Voodoo), Akan, Santeria or Palo, African religions that crossed the Atlantic with the slave trade, and people may laugh or look alarmed. When I told family and friends that now, in my 60s, I would be initiated as a Yoruba priestess, their manner cooled, as if they suspected I would spend my old age in the cellar sticking pins in dolls.
I haven't raised zombies in my backyard — think what L&I would say — but I have joined a vibrant community. Odunde, the annual June festival in Gray's Ferry to honor the Yoruba river goddess Oshun, draws some 200,000 (???) people. The National African Religion Congress (NARC), founded in 1998 by Gro Mambo Angela Novanyon Idizol, a high priestess of Vodun, is headquartered in Philadelphia. NARC, which seeks tolerance for African-based religions, has organized international conferences.
Age brings the loss of dear friends and a deeper valuing of kindred spirits and community, but becoming a priestess has had more to do with re-knitting a frayed heritage many of us black Americans share.
Years ago, I had a conversation with Afro-Peruvian powerhouse Victoria Santa Cruz Gamarra about black culture in our respective countries. Victoria, a poet, dancer and former professor at Carnegie Mellon asked me, "Didn't your mother teach you any African dance steps?"
"No," I said.
"Then much has been lost."
Victoria's words about a diminished heritage grieved me, but rang true. My studies and travels had taught me that blacks have lived along South America's Pacific coast for 500 years. Their numbers — and often isolation — helped them retain more African lifeways than did my ancestors on Bellaire, the Spotsylvania County, Virginia, plantation where some of them toiled. Brazil, the Caribbean, and the Georgia and Carolina Sea Islands also had the critical mass to sustain African roots.
That said, I cherish threads of the past I've inherited. My great-grandmother, Rose Wilson Ware, or Maw, born into slavery about 1851, lived her 113 years, first at Bellaire, then after freedom came, on the farm she and her husband Jake bought with money from sharecropping. My late mother, Cleoria Coleman Sparrow, would take us "down home" to Maw's farm for a week during the summers of my childhood. I would gather eggs warm from the henhouse, draw cold water from the well and hold my nose in the two-seat outhouse, but I had no sense of the importance of Maw's memories. But my mother, raised in part by Maw, passed on some of her stories and with them bits of an African past.
"Your great-great-great grandmother walked with a coffle of slaves from Maryland to Virginia," my mother said. "Her name was Hannah, and she may have been African."
My mother also had at least one West African custom. Once, just after a visitor left our house, she swept from where he had last stood all the way out to the street.
"Why'd you do that?" I said. "The floor's clean."
"To sweep out his presence so he'll never come back."
Once grown, I did my own sweeping, but in time I needed more. The last 12 years arrived festooned with razor blades: illness, deaths and heartbreaking troubles. I attended Episcopalian, Jewish and Kemitic healing services at the Auser Auset Society, whose spiritual practices hark back to ancient Egypt. I got counseling and began meditating through the Penn Program for Stress Management. I began Re-Evaluation Counseling, where people work in pairs, listening to each other and helping each other release painful emotions. All of these approaches nudged me toward hope and balance.
Familiar with some Yoruba ways through Odunde and covering a NARC conference for a local newspaper, I asked a friend, a Yoruba man, to direct me to a priest for spiritual readings. Sessions with an aged Brooklyn "babalawao," a priest who dedicates his life to "Ifa," the Yoruba system of divination, helped prop me up. Maybe that comfort moved me to include Yoruba rituals in a story I was writing.
"Can't you suggest someone nearby?" I asked my friend later.
That someone turned out to be a priestess within walking distance of my home. She not only reviewed the story but invited me to gatherings where I heard singing in Yoruba and unbelievable drumming. Awkward at first, I joined the other teachers, janitors, judges, doctors, welfare moms and other members of the community in dancing and receiving counsel that came through spirit possession. The Yoruba practices I've learned feel like home to me, a treasure retrieved.
I don't have to renounce my Episcopalian roots or my mother's voice still singing spirituals within me. After my June 2011 initiation, I began my year of wearing initiates' white. I pray to go forward with keener consciousness and a deeper sense of service.
I say amen to this autumn blessing, or as the Yoruba say, "Ashe!"

Ontario Education Leadership Graduate Programs & Schools
What is a Masters in Educational Leadership Degree?
Educational leadership programs cover leadership, management, and training methods to promote student, teacher, and institutional success. Students may develop the knowledge and skills they need to analyze, evolve, and enact school policies, procedures, and reforms at systemic and organizational levels.
Many educational leadership degrees also prepare graduates to apply for administrative and principal licensure. Whether your goal is to provide leadership in K-12, collegiate, and other school settings, or simply expand your administrative abilities, an education leadership program may be for you.i,ii
What Can You Do with a Masters in Educational Leadership?
At the most basic level, educational leadership is the set of skills and actions used to promote student achievement, teacher effectiveness and job satisfaction, and institutional improvement and success. An educational leadership degree could prepare professionals to work as school administrators, principals, counselors, directors, supervisors, content specialists, or in a variety of other positions. Educational leaders typically work closely with teachers, faculty, students, parents, and government bodies to create stability and effectiveness in school systems. They might create, manage, and control policies. They may also support and supervise teachers and other faculty.i,ii
Educational leadership has many applications. Some common areas are listed below.
- Student affairs administration
- Academic affairs administration
- Post-secondary education leadership
- Adult education administration and leadership
- Administration and leadership in the educational governmental agencies, non-profits, and NGOs
Why Pursue a Graduate Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration?
Typically, professionals who already have experience in the field of education pursue a graduate degree in educational leadership and administration. Many of them have teaching certificates, and some may have experience working in educational administration, curriculum design, or advocacy. They may work in K-12 education, collegiate education, adult education, or in administrative capacities at a school-based or central office.
In most cases, they care deeply about education and its ability (or inability) to promote student success. They're commonly interested in taking on professional responsibility and accountability at advanced levels. Some may also hope to pursue licensure and earn an educational leadership degree to meet minimum requirements. There is no one type of student. Therefore a variety of educational leadership programs exist to meet many different needs.
What Graduate-Level Programs Are Available in Educational Leadership and Administration?
Educational leadership graduate degrees come in three primary levels:
- Certificate programs
- Master's degree programs
- Doctorate degree programs
Within these types of programs, students might study specializations such as educational policy, educational research, or student affairs and development. Each has their own requirements and goals. Therefore it's important to conduct your own research to determine which educational leadership program might fit your needs.
Certificate in Educational Leadership Programs
The educational leadership certificate may be a great option for students who want to focus on educational leadership and administration but already have a master's degree in another subject. These are shorter, more concentrated programs, allowing students to focus their studies on a specific area. Many certificate programs prepare students to apply for school leadership and administration licensure. Depending on the program, they may help professionals become assistant principals, principals, or supervisors at schools or central offices. Most certificate programs require one to two years of full time study.
Masters in Educational Leadership Programs
Master's in educational leadership and administration programs typically come in one of three forms: the Master of Science, Master of Education or Master of Arts. Programs may focus on core topics in education leadership and administration, as well as a specific functional area. Examples include higher education, K-12 settings, teacher leadership and student services. Core classes could touch on student learning and development; program curricula delivery and assessment, educational analysis (with an emphasis on data, statistics, and research) and educational access and opportunity (with an emphasis on economics and diversity, for example). Electives and emphasis courses may then allow students to further tailor their program.
In addition to classroom study, some mastesr in education leadership programs may have a research component. This could be especially important to those interested in going on to pursue a PhD or Ed.D. Others may end with a final capstone project. Students typically pursue a masters in educational leadership over the course of two to three years full time study, although 1 year masters of education programs do exist.
Some masters in educational leadership programs are designed to prepare graduates for administrator or principal licensure. Licensure varies by state, so ensure programs of interest meet your states needs if this is important to you.
Doctorate Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration Programs
Many professionals in the field of education opt to pursue a doctorate degree (EdD) or PhD in educational leadership and administration. The doctorate in educational leadership program often delivers curricula more suitable for practical application. PhD in educational leadership programs, on the other hand, often focus on research and contributing new theories to the education field. While doctorate programs commonly prepare students for leadership positions in K-12 and collegiate education, PhD programs may prepare professionals to work as educators and researchers in colleges and universities. Either type of degree might prepare students to work in schools or districts' central offices. However, this is not always the case and ultimately, you should study each potential doctorate program carefully.
In most cases, it takes anywhere from three to six years for students to earn their EdD or PhD in educational leadership and administration, depending on individual program and course load.
What Might I Study in an Educational Leadership and Administration Graduate Program?
Ultimately, what you'll study in a graduate-level educational leadership and administration graduate programs depends on the program level and the goals of the particular program. However, we can give you a sense of how your curriculum might be arranged and what subjects you might study.
First and foremost, many programs' credits, courses, and field requirements may be designed according to licensure requirements. Licensure requirements vary by state, so you may want to check with your state's department of education and ensure that the program you select meets those requirements.
Second, most programs will orient around a collective of core and elective credits. To conclude your program, you might have to take a comprehensive exam, complete an internship, or write a thesis or dissertation.
Third, most educational leadership and administration programs cover subjects that prepare students to think about and take action in areas critical to educational success and reform. In any given program, you might cover the following topics.
- Theories of leadership and leadership styles
- Diversity in the classroom and institution
- Resource management
- Legal and ethical aspects of leadership and administration
- Data analysis and statistics
- Principalship (and department, school, and district leadership)
- Instructional leadership
- Methods of educational research (quantitative and qualitative)
- Philosophies of teaching and learning
- Curriculum, instruction, and assessment
- Special education
- ESL, TEFL, and TESOL
- Pedagogy and epistemology
- Human development
- Education and business theories
Through courses in subjects like these and others, professionals in educational leadership and administration graduate programs may study theoretical and practical applications and explore various aspects of education and leadership. They may discuss the challenges of today's education system and ponder how to direct and transform education in the future. These are just some of the many things students might study in their Educational Leadership programs. Contact schools for a full course list.

Just how do they keep track of all of their toons, and more importantly, what abilities their toons have?
I logged into Neve for the first time in what felt like ages, and tried zapping a few assorted beasties in Icecrown.
Tried being the operative word.
After I finally stopped hitting keys for abilities that hadn't procced yet, I finally started spamming Frostbolt, because at least I remembered where that was. I froze myself in ice at least twice before I successfully killed my first mob, and yes, it really did take me that long.
I stared at my empty glass by the computer, and sighed. "I'm going to need another beer if this keeps up," I mumbled and switched to Quintalan. Surely I couldn't have forgotten how to play Ret, not after years of play beforehand. But a short glimpse of the main bar later, I decided to just switch back to my Rogue and queue for a battleground.
Surely, I thought, it must be better on The Old Republic, where I'd gotten used to playing different classes on a regular basis.
Um, no.
After spending the end of Chapter One on my Sith Inquisitor, I switched back to my Commando and quickly found myself in a 4-man Heroic on Alderaan. On the first pull the Shadow cc-ed an elite and I readied a Concussion Shot on another. I hit the button and...
"Dammit, Ki! What are you doing?"
Oops. I'd hit Explosive Round by mistake, which had the side effect of undazing that elite.
We managed to DPS down everything, and I apologized to the group. While they were accepted, I still smarted from my screw up. This was something that I prided myself on not doing.
Clearly, a better method than "I think I remember where everything is" was needed.
Way back in her Pugging Pally days, Vidyala of Manalicious posted a chart she used to keep track of all of her Draenei alts' hair style and design. While it served her purpose, I've begun working on my own version of her chart to keep track of keystrokes on differing alts.
Since I play more alts on TOR, I figured I'd start there first.
Ironically enough, one of the things that people complain about with TOR --the similarity between different classes on knockbacks and whatnot-- is perfect for my work. Setting up my alts so that similar abilities are always on the same keystrokes will make it easier to slip into gear in each class. Knowing that a toon's main attack is on button #2, the incapacitated attack (if any) is on button #4, and the knockback is on button #5 makes my life a lot easier. While the details on the lesser abilities are different from toon to toon, the main rotation can be reduced to a level I can easily use to slip into and out of while playing. Keeping certain abilities grouped together, like the Commando's various grenades or the various heals of a particular toon, make for good common sense. It also makes for good common sense to keep them out of easy finger range, so that in the heat of battle you don't accidentally hit the wrong button and cause a wipe.
But for a game like WoW, where the abilities and rotations are so different from class to class, the challenge is much greater. Throw in the transition from PvE to PvP, and the organization becomes much harder.
The way I attempted to organize my Cata-era Affliction Warlock --attacks on one row, DoTs on another, and interrupts on a third-- don't necessarily work for a Pally or Mage which are DoT-less. Also, you have to remember the more obscure abilities in your class, because what isn't important in PvE suddenly becomes critical in PvP. How many times have you had a Lock just get going on DoTs in a fight, only to have the mob and/or boss die on you? Well, that inability to use DoTs effectively in an instance suddenly doesn't matter in PvP, because laying down DoTs is one of the primary ways a Lock can kill you. A Rogue doesn't try to out tough a Warrior, it tries to surprise, stun and slash. Doing that in a boss fight is suicide, because the last thing a Rogue needs is aggro when a boss is bringing the hammer down.
Therefore, I've kind of thrown in the towel a bit on WoW alts, and have been reduced to generalities. I don't know what might be most important at a particular time, but I can guess. It's just like switching poisons around; if you've got the time and you're closing in on a caster, get the one that zaps their spellcasting speed. Otherwise, go for the slow poison which works on everyone. The spellcasting poison is a specialist ability, so it goes behind the more general slow poison. Ordering up the finishing strokes is important too; you want ones that will give you the best bang for the buck to be the ones easiest to reach for, while others that work better on extended raid boss fights should be placed farther away. But hey, if the Warrior you're sneaking up behind is focusing on another team member, use the DoT finishing stroke and then Vanish to reset yourself for another strike.
One drawback to reorganizing everything is that it takes time.
Yes, I know there will be the reward of getting everything set up is that I can more easily transition between toons, but when you're looking at the tinkering involved that's not much comfort. And when you throw in customization options, you could easily spend days of game time merely fooling around with your UI.
At times like this, WoW's customization becomes more a curse than a blessing.
If you've ever heard of the theory that with more options the more unable you are to make a decision, then you've got the idea of what I'm getting at. With so many third party add-ons and scripts to choose from, a player can become paralyzed trying to decide how to set up their keys and/or macros.* When all you really want to do is make it easier on yourself to play, it seems counterintuitive to spend all of your time tweaking your key bindings and setting up macros.
However, if you're expecting me to say that The Old Republic has it better, well.... Maybe, maybe not.
No, there aren't any third party UI tools available. Yes, if you subscribe, you have full UI customization access --the same as every other subscriber-- so everyone (theoretically) has the same starting point.
But you still have to configure the UI to your liking. And that takes time, and tinkering. Lots of tinkering.
And each time you train, you may gain access to a new favorite ability, causing you to curse under your breath and try to figure out where to shoehorn that new! cool! awesome! ability into your bars.
Layers, Shrek once said. Ogres have layers. But he could have also been talking about tweaking the UI and keybindings in an MMO.
And I still don't know how a true altoholic can do all of this, keep it all straight, and be able to play well.
*Which is why Elitist Jerks and other sites are so popular; they take the difficult part of the decision process away.

Tin Sign 20 x 30 cm "BMW-Classic"
Is it due to the displayed brands or products or maybe because of the beautiful images that tin-plate signs are favored? For many years tin-plate signs are popular decorative objects and offer an ideal possibility to bring taste and personality to the privacy of one's home.
Many images remind us of the "good old times" and the displayed brands and products create emotions. This is why promotional signs are the perfect gift article. With its versatile images, brands and products there is something for every taste.
The material stands for quality and endurance and stands out against alternatives like posters or plastic products. The special charm of tin-plate signs originates from the high-quality image embossment, which accentuates the contours of the image three-dimensionally. The image appears especially vivid.

This is a Change This PDF that you can view here:
I'm curating this because I like it and I don't like it -- and it is worth taking a look at the assumptions going on in this piece so we can get really smart.
This piece was put together by Jonathan Sachs, author of Winning The Story Wars. Sachs comes from the world of marketing and branding and this is reflected in his point of view.
Let's get what I don't like out of the way so I can chat about what I do like. Here is what puts my teeth on edge:
1. Sachs states that "we live in a world that has lost its connection to traditional myths and we are now trying to find new ones..." Welllllllll, if your slice of reality is the Hollywood, advertising, and branding world it is easy to get sucked into this notion. But we know from Jung, other psychologists, Folklorists, Anthroplogists, and neuroscience how this is not true. There is great irony in this "myth" that Sachs is perpetuating.
2. We are engaged in a war. Hmmmmm. Well, for millenium people have wanted to gain the attention of other people -- so nothing new there. Is this a war? Could be. But if we are wanting to employ the power of storytelling to find solutions and create change as Sachs advocates, then war does not speak to the greater good but instead speaks to winners and losers where ongoing resentment is inherently built in. That sounds like the perpetuation of war -- same old same old.
3. Sach's relationship to storytelling is still at the transactional level -- I'll tell you a story and you'll do what I want. While what he really wants it seems is storytelling at the transformational level. That requires a different mind-set and different story skills -- deep listening, engagement, story sharing, etc. And he completely ignores the relational level of storytelling.
4. Reliance on the Hero's Journey as the only story archetype to follow. Well, that's a narrow slice of reality and one geared towards youth. Yet other story archetypes are desperately needed: King/Queen, Trickster, Magician for example in order to affect change.
5. As a result, his 10 simple strategies stay at the transactional level with a few geared towards transformation (figure out what you stand for, declare your moral, reveal the moral). Now any great professional storyteller will tell you these that I've mentioned are essential for any compelling storytelling session. So they land in both worlds of transactional and transformational storytelling.
OK -- on to what I do like!
If you want to be heard, you'd better learn to tell better stories. The solutions to our significant problems these days depends on our ability to tell great stories and inspire people to think differently. Storytelling does not take long to learn, but it does take a lifetime to master, Know what a story is and is not Our abilitiy to disseminate stories is greater now than in the past -- because of technology.

The Mets could be hours away of losing Fernando Martinez on waivers, the decision made to place Scott Hairston on the 40-man roster. After all this time of choosing not to deal Martinez under the guise of protecting their youth, the Mets are poised to lose him so they could keep a journeyman outfielder.
The Mets opted not to rush Martinez to the majors because they wanted him to learn and get at-bats in the minors, which made sense according to conventional thinking.
Of course, the Mets are anything but conventional.
Martinez has not proven he could stay healthy, but if the option was losing him over keeping Hairston, I would have kept him this spring as a fourth outfielder to see if there was any chance of him developing.
After all, he is only 23, and history has seen plenty of late bloomers.
As it is, Martinez is sure to get claimed. As for Hairston, who wouldn't be surprised to see him dealt to a contender at the trade deadline. And, if not, for sure we won't see him next season.
This just makes no sense.

Tour guide Alex Browne is the first to cast suspicion on the claim that Antigua has 365 beaches.
"I don't think anyone's actually counted," he says with a laugh.
"But it sure is a convenient number. A different beach for every day of the year."
In fact, the official tourism agency for this 300 square kilometre paradise in the Caribbean's West Indies bandies about the 365 beaches figure liberally in all of its promotions and literature.
Our tour group takes this as a challenge.
The maps come out. We count.
As the tour van passes white sand beach after white sand beach, we tally.
We stop to swim at Darkwood Beach, a popular crescent where we count one more and experience that meeting of powdery sand and baby blue water.
Soon we're splashing and laughing and we forget what number we're at.
And we don't really restart. Somehow it doesn't matter anymore.
Our tour also takes us to Shirley Heights, the vantage point where you see how this undulating irregular-shaped island with a plethora of bays, inlets and points certainly has the shoreline to accommodate beach after beach.
We admire, but don't bother counting. It's just safe to say Antigua has a lot of beautiful beaches, more than you'll every be able to swim at during a holiday to the idyllic island.
Who cares if the number's been fudged a bit and it could be 358 or 371.
As we arrive at Sandals Grande Antigua, the luxury all-inclusive adults-only resort we're staying at, public relations manager Anne Harawood brings up the numerical game again.
"I just know there are so many beaches that I've only had time to get to about 20," she says.
"And that's a good thing because Antigua is all about the beaches. It's why we're on Dickenson Bay Beach, which was ranked the No. 4 beach in the world by (popular travel website) Expedia.com. The only way to improve an Antigua beach is to build a Sandals on it."
We don't just blindly take her word for it. We head to Dickenson Bay Beach in front of the resort to lounge, swim, eat, drink, haggle with souvenir sellers and catch the boat that will take us snorkelling to Paradise Reef.
It's unabashedly called Paradise Reef because it is paradise.
Only a 10-minute boat ride from the shore, the reef announces itself as a slice of aquamarine water contrasted to the surrounding dark blue.
The three-metre or so deep water over coral is crystal clear and punctuated with coral heads where all the colourful sea creatures congregate - from parrot fish, sea urchins and grunts to tangs, angelfish and moon jellyfish.
No need to fear the moon jellyfish, our boat captain Sherman Timothy tells us.
"They're not too big and their sting is like a mosquito bite," he says.
"But if you get stung I can still pee on the bite if you want me to."
The other options, of course, being to simply avoid the jellyfish, or the more risky move - pushing it away with the palm of your hand so its stinger can't get at you.
After all the buildup, we only see two jellyfish - one at a distance and one close enough for our guide to demonstrate the palm push.
The most memorable meals at Sandals are at Barefoot by the Sea, the restaurant that's right on the sand close enough to the Caribbean Sea to hear the gentle lapping of the waves.
During the day it's a lunch pitstop - try the jerk barbecued chicken.
For dinner it's transformed with white tablecloths and candlelight into fine Caribbean fusion dining where you're encouraged to kick off your shoes and dig your feet into the cool sand.
Try the surf and turf seafood curry and filet mignon finished off by the richest, moistest chocolate rum cake you'll ever have.
If you want to keep your shoes on, Sandals has nine other buffet and a la carte restaurants to choose from.
The man who keeps this beach pristine is Tristan Hines, who has the all-important contract with Sandals.
Dealing with a time change and wanting to continue my daily runs to work off all the extra food and wine, I encounter Hines on the beach at 6: 45 a.m.
He's dragging a doubled-up old chain-link fence with a rope to rake and clean the beach to icing sugar consistency before resort guest even wake up.
"This is my invention," he says, nodding at his fence and rope contraption. "I used to rake, but it took too long."

Certain job ads attract candidates who are barking up the wrong tree, whether it's due to wishful thinking, careless reading, or a simple lack of understanding what the job is all about.
"We once had job [listings] for Java Server Architects—a very technical job. We were getting a lot of resumes from candidates who were not a fit," says Heidi Golledge, co-founder and CEO of CareerBliss.com. "I called one of them to chat about why he applied. He said he had years of experience serving coffee at Denny's so he would consider himself a java server architect."
With anecdotal evidence like this as a starting point, CareerBliss pulled data on job ads that attracted candidates who misunderstood the job title or description, resulting in this list of the most commonly misunderstood jobs.
"Today's jobs are becoming more and more specific, especially in the tech and healthcare industries," said Matt Miller, Co-founder and CTO of CareerBliss. "This can be great for candidates with experience in specialized fields, but can often be confusing for those who misinterpret a job title."

Although still a new kid on the block, NVX have proven that they are formidable contenders with their flagship headphone, XPT100. On top of a great sound quality, the headphone also comes with a bunch of accessories for the users' convenience. Of course, their first in-ear monitor, EX10S, is no exception as well.
While the IEM comes with 15 pairs of ear sleeves, a pair of ear guides, and a carrying case, the packaging quality itself is pretty standard for the product at this price range.

CP Landmark needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 157 designs submitted by 49 freelance designers.
The Brew House
This is a new bar / restaurant concept for the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Suites Landmark, in Shenzhen.
http://www.szlandmark.com.cn/eng/index.htm On the hotel website go to - dining / Café on the 3rd. It is this area that we are giving a new identity to.
The bar / restaurant has its own micro brewery and we are now going to relaunch the area as a bar serving food and meals, but primarily a bar.
The area will still serve breakfast in the morning, and then convert into a bar focusing in on the brewing equipment that is in the restaurant.
We want to attract local office workers and local residents to drink in the bar both at lunch time and during the evening.
We will also market the new area to our hotel residents.
The age profile is likely to be +25 to approx 50 years for the non resident visitors
The mix is 50 / 50 male to female
We need a logo that we will use as our primary sign at the entrance, around the hotel and on our website
It will be used on headed paper and in e-mails and posters
This logo needs to be clear and clean; so in small reproduction it can still be read clearly
The logo needs to be sized to be a bottle label, perhaps oval tall way up "0" so it can be used as a beer font sign and a beer bottle label.
There is no limit on colours, but not too complex so it can be reproduced on say an apron in a stitched logo
There are three different beers that we will brew, you will need to provide a "bottle label" / "beer font logo" for each of them too.
The beer names are – Pilsner / Wheat / Dark ale
"Handcrafted beers" is to appear on the main logo and the 3 beer logos
If you have a look at other brew pubs or micro breweries you will see this approach to a "brand" is common. Many brew pubs work the beer style into the main logo for brand consistency. I did not want to highlight a specific company as I want our own unique design.
The logo is to be English only, Chinese is not required.
Any questions please ask.
Thank you and good luck

October 9, 2007
For the past three years Wabash alumni from the St. Louis area have performed projects in support of the Prairie Restoration effort at the Shaw Nature Reserve located approximately 20 miles southwest of St. Louis. Five Wabash alumni participated in the 2007 effort on Saturday morning, 6 October: Patrick Drake '06, Mike Kelley '70, Charlie Raiser '69, Jim Thomas '73, and Gary Zack '76.
Mike Kelley gathered two varieties of wild rye grass with Dr. James Trager of the Shaw Nature Reserve staff. This was the third year that Dr. Trager has supervised our seed-gathering efforts. The seeds will be planted in appropriate areas of the Shaw Nature Reserve in the future to help continue to establish a healthy prairie habitat.
Patrick Drake, Charlie Raiser, Jim Thomas, and Gary Zack, along with three researchers from Washington University, Dr. Mark Mannteufel, Martin Eiblmaier, and Carl Franz, retrieved and stored plywood coverboards that had been used by Mr. Eiblmaier in a research project in which he studied the effect on prairie snakes of prairie habitat and habitat practices such as controlled burning.
A total of 100 coverboards, in four grids of 25 each, were retrieved from different prairie habitats and moved to storage. In the process, Mr. Eiblmaier was able to complete his final snake census for the two-year project. We observed 3 prairie snakes beneath the coverboards as we retrieved them: a yellow-bellied racer, a prairie ring snake, and a midland brown snake. According to Mr. Eiblmaier, the midland brown snake was not commonly observed during the two years of his research.

Flood-related resources:
How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
Inundated along with roads, bridges, houses and farms are thousands of oil and gas wells and associated condensate tanks and ponds in northeast Boulder County and southwest Weld County.
Anti-fracking activists say the industry needs to account for what types of chemicals may be contaminating soil and groundwater in the area around these wells.
The concentration of oil and gas wells in flood-prone areas speaks to one more risk of what they see as a dangerous industry.
Regulators say they agree these well sites could pose a contamination risk, and they will get out to assess the damage as soon as it's feasible.
An Encana Oil and Gas representative said many wells were "shut in" in anticipation of the flood to minimize the risk.
Lafayette-based anti-fracking activist Cliff Willmeng said he spent two days "zig-zagging" across Weld and Boulder counties documenting flooded drilling sites, mostly along the drainageway of the St. Vrain River. He observed "hundreds" of wells that were inundated. He also saw many condensate tanks that hold waste material from fracking at odd angles or even overturned.
"It's clear that the density of the oil and gas activity there did not respect where the water would go," Willmeng said. "What we immediately need to know is what is leaking and we need a full detailed report of what that is. This is washing across agricultural land and into the waterways. Now we have to discuss what type of exposure the human population is going to have to suffer through."
Colorado Oil and Gas Association President Tisha Schuller said in an email that the industry prepares and drills for these types of natural disasters and opened 24-hour incident command centers to monitor wells and mitigate potential hazards.
"We are working around the clock to monitor, prevent, and address the effects of flooding," she said. "In cases where personnel could be freed up, they have been made available to communities for flood rescue and relief efforts."
A spokesman for the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said the agency is aware of the potential for contamination from flooded drilling sites, but there simply is no way to get to those sites while flooding is ongoing and while resources are concentrated on saving lives.
"COGCC will be working with state and local authorities to assess risks and, where necessary, provide environmental response and remediation," said Todd Hartman, a spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources.
Hartman said many operators have added security to tanks, like chains to make sure they don't float away, though aerial photographs have shown floating and drifting tanks in some flooded areas.
Also, many operators "shut in" or closed down well operations in anticipation of flooding.
Wendy Wiedenbeck, a spokeswoman for Encana, a major gas driller in the region, said in a news release that the company shut-in production at wells throughout the affected areas and has remote monitoring to stop production at additional wells if they are affected by flooding.
Crews are conducting site-by-site visits as it becomes safe to do so, she said.
Willmeng said shutting-in does not isolate all the hydrocarbons in case of flooding. He's also concerned that there simply aren't enough inspectors to deal with all the wells.
Andrew Barth, a city spokesman working with the Boulder Office of Emergency Management during the disaster, said local officials are well aware of potential problems from drilling wells, as well as from flooded gas stations and industrial sites. However, inspections and assessment will have to wait until the immediate threat to life and safety has passed.
"We've seen those same pictures, and we are concerned," he said. "We are going to go out and look at those as once we're out of the immediate search and rescue phase."
