Office of the Executive Director (EDS-21) Albania, Greece, Italy, Malta Portugal, San Marino, and Timor-Leste
The office of the Executive Director for EDS21 represents a group of 7 countries which composes our "Constituency":
The Executive Director's Office (EDs Office) represents its Constituency when it must consider and decide on IBRD loan and guarantee proposals and IDA credit, or grant and guarantee proposals made by the President, and when it must decide on policies that guide the Bank's general operations. The EDs Office is also responsible, on behalf of the Constituency, for presenting to the Board of Governors, at the Annual Meetings, an audit of accounts, an administrative budget, and an annual report on the Bank's operations and policies, as well as other matters.
Some Executive Directors' offices represent only one country (such is the case of China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the United Kingdom), whereas other offices might include constituencies with more than 20 countries. The constituency group is usually formed on the basis of geographical proximity, common interests and objectives, or other factors which may give advantage to the union. Our constituency group, for instance, is tied mostly by geographical vicinity. Timor-Leste, which became a member in 2002, although not linked by physical proximity, was included in our constituency because of its former colonial association with Portugal.
Being the Executive Director of a constituency may pose some coordination challenge, but it can offer the advantage of increasing the Office's voting power. The voting power of the Executive Director at the Board equals the sum of all the shares of the constituency countries of its office. Constituency composition may vary with time, depending on the countries' change of interest, negotiations, or other factors which may justify new associations.Every shareholder (member country) is allocated a certain number of votes, which is linked to the size of its shareholding. The votes include a specified number of membership votes (which is the same for all members) and additional votes based on the number of shares held. Thus, the member's voting power consists of the number of votes of a member expressed as a percentage of the total number of votes held by all shareholders. Back to homepage

text: There's a significant percentage of posters who are willing to pay what it takes to sign AV, up to the franchise number, just over 3 million. There are those who think that that is too much to pay a kicker for one year. Let's detail some scenarios: Let's assume the CBA has been settled. Let's assume that the Patriots, after signing all draft picks, releasing dead weight (most notably Starks, Poole, Klecko) and signing some TC fodder/PS types and a mid-range CB and WR, have 4 million left under the cap. Would you rather: 1. Sign AV to a two year deal for the 5.5 million it will probably take (say 1.5 million in salary/per and 2.5 million SB) 2. Sign Givens to a four year deal (10 million SB, salary of 1 mill, 1.5 mill, 2 mill, 3 mill) 3. Extend Seymour one year.

1 User Reviews of Favolosa Cruise Ship
If you are a first time cruiser who really like smoking, kitsch decor, understand italian, do not mind waiting in cues everywhere from restaurants to boarding to elevators, this is your cruise.
If you have ever been to a proper cruise before, do not like smoke everywhere and do not enjoy waiting in your vacation stay away from Costa, and it is not even cheap (compared to big cruise lines). This was our 7th cruise and we love cruising, but we geniunly disliked the overall experience of Costa. The times at ports were just couple of hours, combined with long boarding/unboarding, it was simply not worth the trouble. There were a few safety related issues that we have observed like razor sharp edges (unrounded sharp edges of mirrors on walls).
In short, stay away from Costa.

Greece Extends Bond Buyback Deadline For A Day
ATHENS, Greece (AP) â¿¿ In an attempt to generate stronger participation in its key government bond buyback program, Greece on Monday extended the deadline for banks, funds and investors who own its debt to declare whether they will sell their holdings back at a heavy discount.
The public debt management agency, PDMA, said bondholders now have until 1200 GMT (7 a.m. EST) on Tuesday to make up their minds.
The program aims to cut some ⿬20 billion ($25.81 billion) from the crisis-hit country's debt load and ensure it continues to get its international bailout loans. The original deadline expired on Friday, with Greece's largest banks saying they would participate.
The government plans to spend about ⿬10 billion in European funds on the buyback, offering between 30 and 40 percent of the bonds' face value. The bonds were trading at even lower prices than that on the secondary market, and Athens hopes investors will leap to the offer as many bought the bonds at less than half that price amid the political uncertainty that plagued Greece in the summer.PDMA head Stelios Papadopoulos insisted Monday that bondholders are being offered a good deal, and said efforts will continue to get the country's bloated debt back to a manageable course. "Investors should bear in mind that even if Greece accepts all bonds tendered in the Invitation, it will continue to engage with its official sector creditors in considering further steps to put its debt on a sustainable path," he said. "Future measures may not involve an opportunity to exit investments in (designated Greek bonds) at the levels offered for this buyback." Government officials in Athens refused to comment on local media reports that the face value of bonds offered for sale so far has reached between ⿬26 billion and ⿬27 billion. Greece's financial crisis started three years ago when it admitted its budget deficit would be more than three times bigger than forecast. After it became impossible to raise money on the international bond markets, the country came to depend on rescue loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund, adopting harsh austerity measures to secure the funds.

Charles "Bubby" Rossman excelled at football, soccer and baseball at La Habra High.
As a senior, he talked to local college coaches from all three sports. The summer he graduated, Rossman weighed his options and considered playing two sports in college.
He then made the decision to play baseball exclusively – a decision that's looking more and more promising for the switch-hitting 21-year-old.
A senior right fielder at Division II Cal State Dominguez Hills, Rossman is one of two returning starters on a team now ranked 10th in the West Region.
And as June's Major League Baseball draft approaches, there's a strong chance Rossman's name could be called.
"We're hoping he'll get an opportunity to play professional baseball," said Murphy Su'a, Cal State Dominguez Hills' coach. "I'm very, very hopeful. There are a lot of organizations that like him that have contacted me."
Rossman was a kicker and punter on the Highlanders' 2009 CIF-SS championship football team. He played goalkeeper on the school's soccer team that winter and outfield for the baseball team that spring.
After graduating in 2010, Rossman began his college career at Fullerton College.
He practiced with the team for one semester, but then transferred to Cerritos College for playing-time purposes.
That year was the first Rossman played a single sport.
"Definitely focusing on that one sport helped a lot," he said. "I did really well both of my (junior college) years."
He posted batting averages of .307 and .341 in two seasons at Cerritos. A consistent line-drive hitter, Rossman talked to MLB scouts in 2012 but didn't receive a call come draft day.
A coach at Cerritos put Rossman in contact with Su'a. After checking out the school, Rossman transferred and began the next step of his career.
"It took him a little while to get acclimated to this level of baseball and to hone his skills," Su'a said. "But he's getting it now."
He batted .286 with 15 runs batted in his first year at Dominguez Hills, which in 2013 finished one game under .500 at 24-25.

The White House will ask Congress for an additional $1.6 billion to deal with an influx of undocumented unaccompanied children crossing into the U.S., administration officials said.
Jerry Howard, chief executive officer of the National Association of Homebuilders, says he wants to know when President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are going to outline plans for reviving the U.S. residential property market.
Three years ago, when President Barack Obama unveiled his plan for solving the U.S. housing crisis, one in five borrowers owed more on mortgages than their homes were worth, banks were repossessing 74,000 homes per month and sale prices had plunged 30 percent from their 2006 peak.
A group of 37 state and territorial attorneys general urged the U.S. Senate to confirm Richard Cordray as the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
At this point, Larry Summers isn't just the favorite for Federal Reserve chairman. He's the overwhelming favorite. Unless something truly unexpected shows up in the vetting process (a paid toast at Bashar al-Assad's birthday party, for example) or the administration comes to believe Senate Democrats will revolt against a Summers nomination, he's going to get the job.
President Barack Obama urged Congress to bolster federal supervision of oil markets, including bigger penalties for market manipulation and greater power for regulators to increase the amount of money traders must put up to back their energy bets.
White House budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell learned her management skills from some of the masters: former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, and onetime Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
When President Barack Obama dropped by Lawrence Summers's going-away party in 2010, he presented his National Economic Council director with a pair of suspenders, a gag gift to help Summers hold up his perpetually sagging trousers.
Glitz and geeks collided in the hallways of the Washington Hilton on April 28 before the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
"This recent increase in unaccompanied children has created an acute humanitarian situation."

One of the major issues in Atheism is what face we show to the world. What kind of image we project an a lot of that is positive except for one thing. Diversity.
So why is Diversity important? Well? Let's look at this piece from the Christian Post.
To start with? It's an interview between the CP and a sociologist. And while I disagree with the sociology of the matter
Atheism changes over time and is a reaction to the dominant religious beliefs of the time. Today's atheism is, in part, a reaction to the political activism of conservative Christians, or the "Christian Right." This is one of the conclusions found in a new study of American atheists, There is No God: Atheists in America, by University of North Texas sociologists David A. Williamson and George Yancey .
One of the things I remember from Latin class at school was a teacher telling me that the original charge against Christians in Rome was "atheism". Not because they believed in Jehovah but that they claimed other gods didn't exist.
For their research, Williamson, associate professor of sociology, and Yancey, professor of sociology, used an online survey, with open-ended questions, of 1,451 atheists and conducted face-to-face interviews with 51 atheists from two separate regions of the country.
In an interview with The Christian Post, Yancey spoke about what motivated him to write the book, why he thinks it is important to study atheists, and whether atheists have a moral system.
A lot of the ideas they discuss are "silly" but some of them are part of the problem the movement faces with diversity.
CP: You find that atheists are mostly highly educated, wealthy, old, white, men, and that was consistent with some random samples as well.
Yancey: Yeah. The only thing that might not be as consistent is a couple of studies suggest that atheists may not be quite as wealthy as some other studies did. But the other things, they tend to be men, educated, older. Although, there is some indication of some younger atheists coming up.
And this is the problem here.
I know a few atheists and freethinkers I have met are guilty of this as was I.
We have forced atheism into a rut. Our "champions" left some pretty fucking big boots and so far no one has stepped up to fill them.
And I don't think we CAN fill them. So we end up venerating the boots like Bharata venerating Rama's Shoes as a mark of his brother's rule in exile (That's right! Hindu Metaphor). And so we portray this image of "Old White Guys" since Hitchens, Dawkins, Dennet and Harris are all White Men who in some cases are old.
And we lack the same kind of thing in a younger generation. The Great Creationist Wars on the Internet made a lot of the current generation of Atheists but now?
Now I fear the greatest platform for atheism (Reddit) has been subsumed by blind tribalism and a fascination for Memes.
That's right. Richard Dawkins unfortunately created an idea that's destroying atheism. Why spend hours writing a blog post when a simple rage comic or a meme post will do better? We lose a lot of depth through this and a lot of atheists would rather go sit around doing that. And while that's merely a symptom of the Internet (I mean… we still reward readers with Cat Pictures) but it is indicative that newer writers cannot break through the wall we have erected. Particularly around Hitch who is treated like Atheist Jesus.
This wall isn't the canonical wall of faith but one where we are so enthralled with the work of a handful of atheists we cannot see past them.
This means people still see Hitchens as a leader of atheists despite being dead. This means the public face of atheism is still "Old, White and Male". And rather than fix this we are still embroiled in a battle of whether we need more women in atheism or whether we should encourage ethnic minorities.
In order to change this we need to create a dialogue where we give people voices and make atheism more friendly to people of different cultures, religions and indeed gender. Otherwise we suffer with a dearth of new blood and stagnate.
CP: So demographically, they look, more or less, like the U.S. Senate.
Yancey: [Laughs] I hadn't thought about it that way, but, yeah, that's a good way of looking at it.
That's not a good thing for us.
CP: You're basically talking about a privileged group – wealthy, old, white guys. You say it makes sense that atheists would come from a privileged group. Explain.
Yancey: If you are a person with social status and power, and you want to do things the way you see it, and then there's religion out there that says, no, this is the way it should be done, that's going to make you less willing to support or accept that sort of religion. Something we write about in the book is this notion of control. If you have social status and others who don't tend to see things the way you do because they have religion and follow that, then it will tend to make you more antagonistic toward religion than you would normally be.
Except that's not the main attraction of Atheism. The issue is that people in the USA is that there is a direct correlation between scientific education and atheism and such education requires money.
The majority of extremely rich people with power are NOT atheist. They may be "the nones" or secular but most have a religion.
Atheism is based on the fact that religion doesn't make sense. That when you apply critical thinking to religion you end up questioning it. The majority of atheists are "agnostic atheists". There is no evidence for a god so we don't believe in one. Agnostics don't know if a god exists or not but it's not for me. I don't see why one SHOULD exist.
The reason why most atheists are "well off" is because science makes people question atheism and science education tends to give people middle and upper middle class jobs. In addition? Most of the poorer demographics have bigger things to worry about such as work than something being wrong on the internet.
To date not one person has provided me an iota of evidence that god exists. And remember, every Christian claiming Jehovah exists in my head sounds like a declaration that Harry Potter is real since Christians are Hindu Atheists.
CP: You found that a lot of atheists believe that religious adherents should not proselytize. Do they proselytize? In other words, do they think it is important to convince others of atheism?
Yancey: Yes and no. They don't proselytize in the way that Christians tend to proselytize. Atheists tend to believe that people are religious because they are socialized to be that way. Therefore, while atheists aren't going door to door to convince people of atheism, they do talk about making sure that our school systems socialize kids correctly and that kids are socialized so that they will learn the facts in the way that atheists tend to see the facts. They enunciate a perspective that, if that happens, you're going to see a lot less religion.
A lot of atheists do believe that religion will decrease over time because people are going to be given the truth in the way that they are educated and socialized. So that is how atheists see a spread of an anti-theist or non-theist perspective is through institutions rather than a one-on-one "witnessing," as Christians would call it.
We push SCIENCE in schools. Science isn't the way atheists see the facts. Science is a peer reviewed system of experimentation and observation by which you can explore and understand the natural world. We don't believe in the invocation of the supernatural. I don't know how my laptop works, but it certainly is not magic goblins.
If a school were teaching about Magic Goblins as a method of laptop function I would be fighting that too. We want a secular experience in government schools so that children learn without the applied theology of religion. You wouldn't want your kid coming home and declaring your steaks as cow killing! You wouldn't want your kid to stop eating bacon! Then why on earth is it somehow acceptable to shoehorn Christianity into them?
Religion DOES have a place in schools though. Religious Education and Philosophy Classes should teach kids about all faiths and indeed atheism but with an unbiased look at them.
CP: You found that atheists often expressed that they strongly value open-mindedness, yet they were not very open-minded to the notion that they could be wrong about the existence of God. Were they aware of this contradiction or oblivious to it?
Yancey: We didn't really probe that. I think it's fascinating and maybe we should've probed that.
It doesn't make atheists different from other individuals. A lot of us have contradictions. We say one thing and five minutes later we're saying something totally different.
My suspicion is that they don't see it as a contradiction. In their minds, there is so much evidence that there is not a God that that is just the way it is.
I am unlikely to be wrong. To date there is no evidence of any gods. The Christian is more likely to be wrong about the existence of his god and just as likely that should a god exist that it goes by the name of Shiva.
CP: Some critics of atheism argue that atheists are immoral or have a weak sense of morality. What did you find?
Yancey: Atheists have a different sense of morality than a traditional Christian. But whenever you talk about what people ought to do, then you are enunciating morality.
Atheists believe that people should be rational, that people should do critical thinking, that people should keep religion out of politics. This is a different set of moralities than how Christians may see it, but it is a moral system. We do talk about an atheist morality.
I think, because they tend to be progressives, they see certain conservative political philosophies as immoral as well, as irrational or as intrusive, things of this nature. So we would argue it is not accurate to say that atheists are immoral. If you want to say they are not moral by a traditional system, that's fine. But, to say they are immoral implies that they don't have declarations of what is right and wrong and clearly, they do.
Thank goodness for small mercies. At least they got this bit right.
It's a relatively small part of the interview but it's a good indicator of why we as a movement need to try to get more people speaking out and writing and exchanging ideas. It's also an excellent reason for more diversity in the movement. We may think that PR is beneath us but PR is half the battle into being accepted.

Rolling technique applies constant pressure while rolling gently up and down your back near your spine. Warms and loosens your muscles, preparing your back for a deeper massage. Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation and relaxes the back. This technique is especially useful for relaxing the lower back.
Spreads and applies pressure to deep muscle tissue, forcing it to relax, while the rocking motion loosens spinal joints. Aids in muscle and joint repair due to strain from exercise, long hours bent over a desk, or just day-to-day stress, and can improve mobility and overall posture. Compression induces blood flow to the areas and softens the tissues.
Kneading relieves tension and soreness by lifting and stretching muscles. Improves deeper blood and lymph circulation and helps bring vital nutrients to the spinal area, also helps clear out the toxins from muscle and nerve tissue in the area. Kneads your back in a small, circular motion on both sides of your spine simultaneously.

I am a Downton Abbey addict, watching each episode several times and loving it every moment. With two small children, the more I watched Downton the more my life and the work of those below the stairs seemed to collide in my mind. "Oh, Mrs. Patmore is washing dishes again, I need to wash dishes." No wonder I love this show and these people. I realized I am living a life in service!
Are you living a life in service to your children? Here's how to tell.
If left to your own devices you would be sleeping, but you are in the service of another. You might not bring your child breakfast in bed, but when those feet hit the ground (or when you hear the yell from the bedroom) you are expected to jump into action.
During most meals you wish you could set up a serve yourself buffet because each of your charges is requesting something different.
You cook all the meals.
You wash all the dishes. Over and Over. Extra points if you do this by hand.
You have possibly been putting on the same clothes everyday for the entirity of your job.
You serve, often not eating yourself until well after the charges have finished.
You answer the phone.
You change their clothes, often several times a day.
You compliment their clever styling.
You are in charge of bath time.
You indulge them when they play "pretend games"
You play silly games with them, even when the rules and game play make no real sense.
You teach them the skills they need to make their way in the world
Obviously, you drive them anywhere and everywhere.
And last but not least, you carry a dead body for them.
Or you would.

By Kirsty MacLeod
The idea is simple. Our ancestors ran without shoes, relying on their ability to do so to feed and clothe themselves. So why do we need the latest cushion-soled, ankle-supporting, pound-sucking creations from the top sports-shoe brands to do what they did with none?
Barefoot running first came into the spotlight when, in 1960, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila ran unshod through the cobbled streets of Rome, on his way to an Olympic gold medal and a new world record. In recent years it has become increasingly popular with those who say it is a better, more natural way to run, and that running without shoes prevents injuries and increases performance.
Little of this is based on research, however, says Dr Mick Wilkinson, who works on the physiology of distance running at Northumbria University's Department for Sport and Exercise. To date, no studies have actually tested differences in injury rates or performance improvement between runners with and without shoes.
What has been shown, though, is that habitual barefoot runners land on their fore- or mid-foot, which better absorbs the impact that is normally concentrated on the runner's heel. But, says Wilkinson, these benefits will only be felt by runners if they are doing it right.
Most major sporting brands now sell some variation on a barefoot running shoe – essentially a glove for the foot that prevents the wear and tear you might expect from running on varied surfaces, but that doesn't provide any support or cushioning. Wilkinson is keen to point out that when he talks about barefoot running, he doesn't mean running with these. So, what's the difference?
"Sixty to seventy percent of 'barefoot' shoe-wearers still run in the same style as they did when they were wearing trainers," he says. In other words, they are still hitting the ground with their heel first, this time with no cushioning to absorb that blow – and in fact, are putting themselves at a much higher risk of injury. A sense of friction on the sole, he says, is the trigger for the body to reduce the impact by switching to a fore- or mid-foot gait. Even with a few millimetres to protect the heel, this sensation can be lost, and runners unused to a mid-foot gait can revert to landing hard on the heel; this is why he says he stops barefoot running in winter "when it's too cold to feel my feet".
Wilkinson was in fact one of the two first people to complete the entire Great North Run without shoes in 2011, and is an enthusiastic proponent of this running style, though he cautions that transitioning from one running style to another should be done very gradually to avoid injury. He has good news though, for parents of would-be runners, or amateurs starting for the first time. In terms of biomechanics, there is no difference between top of the range "barefoot" shoes, and simple plimsolls, and starting out in either will naturally encourage a fore- or mid-foot running gait. "Buy basic shoes," is his advice, and it might even be enough to get me on the roads.

The "One Thing" Behind the Genesis Debate

The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."

|The Mechanism of the formation of letters (Part 2)
2. Voweled letters
Voweled letters occur by the parting () of two components of the articulating parts. The sound of all letters occurs like this when voweled. Accompanying the parting of the articulation bodies is the appropriate mouth and jaw movements for the written vowel.
a) Opening of the mouth. This occurs with a fat-h
b) Circling of the lips. This happens with a dhammah.
c) Lowering of the jaw. This happens with a kasrah.
An example is in the following:
occurs by the separation of the two lips and the opening of the mouth.
All vowels must sound like a shortened version of its origin. The alif is the origin of the fat-h, the long is the origin of the dhammah, and the long is the origin of the kasrah. The reader must be careful not to pronounce these vowels incorrectly, such as when the kasrah is pronounced in between a kasrah and a

The term "DJ" gets thrown around a lot these days, which is why Deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) prefers to avoid the term altogether. The Toronto native doesn't use CDs and doesn't play other people's music, so he doesn't fit the traditional definition of a DJ. Instead, he simultaneously runs Ableton Live and utilizes a Lemur pad for controlling his MIDI layers, composing live music that's unique to each performance. Zimmerman has won awards in nearly every applicable category from the International Dance Music Association, Beatport Music Awards and the Junos. They say that heavy is the head that wears the crown: The new mau5head weighs upwards of ten pounds and looks straight outta Wisconsin with its definitive Swiss cheese characteristics. On Tuesday, Zimmerman will make his Colorado stop on the Meowingtons Hax Tour at Red Rocks, and he'll bring his brand-new light production — still using the original cube, but with additions to both sides of the stage and a more interactive audio/visual experience overall.

Looks like Birdbrain has been sipping a little too much of Weezy's syrup supply while he is gone…
"As successful as the label has been in Wayne's absence, you gotta be very optimistic for when he comes home.
Can you image when Wayne comes out? He been gone, he ain't get to see this shit, he only been hearing it. When Wayne comes home he lifts everybody's spirits, he lifts everybody's value, he lifts the brand, he lifts everything. Wayne is gonna be the biggest artist in music, not just in hip-hop; in music. It's some Michael Jackson shit right here goin' on right before our eyes."
Ummm… Somebody please show this man footage of grown men crying and being taken out on stretchers just off the first sight of MJ. The only way this would happen for Weezy, is if a riot went down at one of his concerts.
The point is: Weezy is a damn good performer and a hell of a rapper… But he couldn't fit MJ's glove!

Holy Week!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 03-27-2013 - 6:25pm
My name is Karen and I love Holy Week. Love the liturgical celebrations. There is SO much that happens during this week that you miss if you just show up on the Sundays (Palm and Easter)
What is going on where you are?
Monday night was confessions at our parish. Always good. Tonight, there is a Tenebrae Service. My 16 year old and I are on our way there in a minute...he is serving.
Thursday is the Chrism Mass in the morning at the Cathedral. I've been the past couple of years and loved it, but this year I am skipping it. In the evening is the Mass of the Lord's Supper. My favorite Mass all year, and then it is followed by an hour (at our parish) of Adoration (could you not wait with me for an hour?) Love, love, love this. Lent officially ends at the beginning of the evening Mass.
Friday is the Commemoration of the Passion at 3 pm.
And Saturday is the Easter Vigil at 8 pm.
CHeck local listings to see what is going on at a parish near you! Missing these services is like having tickets to the Super Bowl and not going, says a priest that I know.
Happy Easter!

Holy week is my favorite time of year too. The Easter Vigil mass is my favorite, or it was. I loved how it was done in the church where I took my RCIA classes. Here, something just seems to be missing. I feel like we just go through the motions. Ian really loved Palm Sunday.

Kevin S. on Small Press Publishing Options
Did you know that a "book printer" can do print runs of 1,500 copies for the same amount of money as 500 P.O.D. books?
I have found the answer to that question is usually an excited, no.
I recently talked with an author who was looking to print 1500-2000 copies of a new book. The author was confident he could sell that many in six months to a year, but lamented to me that his Print On Demand quote was $7.78 per book – $3,890 for 500 copies. Making the large press run an unaffordable $11,670.00.
The person sounded crestfallen, until I said, "Um, you know a book printer – or at least, Palladium's printer – could print that book for you for around $2.25 a piece."
I was wrong about that. It turns out Palladium's printer, McNaughton & Gunn could print 1,500 copies for under two dollars each!
In fact, the actual quote for a . . .
- 192 page book
- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches trimmed book
- Perfect bound
- Softcover book; four color front and back laminated cover
- Black & white interior pages
- 60# white paper stock
- Plus proofs of the cover and interior pages for approval
. . . turned out to be $1.77 per copy!
The total amount was less than it cost to print 500 P.O.D. books even when $700 was added to ship the books to his out of state location. It was a gigantic savings. This person freaked out with joy.
Depending on the P.O.D. company, that savings might only be half of what they charge, but that savings is still incredibly HUGE and you get 3x the number of books.
Cheap printing – modest press runs
What surprised me is that most small press and self-published authors I have been talking with do NOT seem to know about Book Printers who use web presses. P.O.D. printing over the last 10 years has become so omnipresent that many people today, don't even know there are alternative and cheaper printing that provide large press runs and superior quality.
I had similar discussions with a couple other people who had been printing through Print on Demand (P.O.D.) companies. They also freaked out to learn they could do a modest press run of 1,500 copies for the same price (or close to it) as a measly 500 P.O.D. copies.
In each and every case, these were very smart people who knew nothing about web-printers, and assumed (incorrectly) that the big book printers required massive print runs of 6,000 copies or more. It ain't so.
...the article goes on from there (you can read the entire thing here), but I found it interesting. I've been around long enough to know that posting anything from Kevin S. online is akin to drawing a circle on my stomach, dousing it with lighter fluid, and holding a sign saying "ignite here", but I wanted some feedback from some of the small-press folks that read this site. Is this something you've looked at, or are you ok with your current P.O.D. options? What are your thoughts? Is this something you'd look into in the future?
I firmly believe many of the small-press publishers these days are putting out books not only every bit the equal of those from larger publishers, but with more personal support and less corporate oversight influencing their moves. So it's things like this article I find interesting, and would like to learn a bit more about from their side of the fence.

Traditional printing is better... if you can sell that many books. That's a big if.
However, POD and digital printing doesn't have to cost as much as Lulu, either.

Great, if you have a distro agreement and can actually sell that many. If you don't, there's 1000 books sitting in your garage or basement.

Yeah, I think that's the thing that Kevin S. is missing. 1,500 is what he considers a small print run, but for a lot of small press operations, an affordable (and reasonable in terms of expected sales) is in the low 100s. P.O.D. allows you to test the market with less of a commitment. The price is, of course, low margins, but at least you don't have tons of heartbreaking inventory sitting around your basement.

Here's thing. If you are a new publisher and you print 1000 copies, and only sell 300, you still are sitting on 700 copies. That is warehouse space, and inventory that is not making you any money. In this market you are lucky if you sell 1000 copies of anything.
POD, though not as nice looking as offset, is the best way for small publishers and new publishers to get their book out into the market. Period.
Rogue Games uses Lightning Source for our printing. They are POD and offset, and due to them being a part of Ingram, our books are available everywhere. We can drop ship books to distributors, in addition, our inventory is virtual, in that we print what we need and that is it.
I will be honest, unless you are a WOTC, Piazo, or one of the bigger companies, offset should be avoided. Still, there are many first time publishers who printed far too many books than they should and have their garage and basement stuffed with unsold inventory.

Wow, so I guess I was right in thinking that landscape of indie games has changed drastically since D20 and the OGL and all that.
WTF? It's not just D&D and derivative games that can do well. 1,000 copies is not really that much if you pimp it and promote it. If you just sit on a website and hope to earn sales you will not sell more than 100 or so copies. period.
But, if you take it to Origins, or GenCon, get a nice table set up and have some demo games (esp Origins, which is a great place to get people hooked via demo games), and promote the hell out of it, you can sell it.
People seem to forget that all RPG's started out indie. Until the whole WoTC buying D&D, indies ruled the roost. Almost all games could be considered small press, yet there they were, all over the place.
D20 and OGL killed this. Now that D&D 4th ED is no longer using the OGL we need to take advantage of it and move past this stupid "everything is D&D" crap we here all over the place. Retro clone or not, we need to branch out and move forward if indie games are to survive, rather than imitating someone else's popular product.
Just my two cents.

Isn't Kevin S. missing the point of POD here? The advantage of something like lulu has never been price. It's been the ability to get one copy printed for one customer.

- da Trux said...
i agree with the anonymous poster who talked about promoting and selling at conventions (like Origins in my city, hooray!)
if you order 1500 copies of a book for $1.77 a copy, and you only end up selling a couple hundred initially through direct sales (such as a web site) then that's your fault!
go to game shops and talk to the owner about making a special display for your product. or here is a really crazy idea... give them away for FREE.
giving away free product does two things; frees up storage space, either your home or garage or a rented unit (which are more expensive than they are worth), and gets your product and your name out into the public. it builds a fan base - which you can use later to sell other product.
especially nowadays where money for most people is tight (i haven't bought a book in over a year, and i used to buy at least one a month before that), giving back to the people is a great idea.
no matter what, i would rather pay less than 2 bucks per copy than 7 bucks.

Ours is a samll market that that of Palladium Books or other biggies. Selling 1000+ copies would be a dream come true! For me a small run is 100 or less copies, which are still better done by digital prints or POD.
- June 25, 2009 at 12:16 PM
- clash bowley said...
Note what those who are publishers are saying, and note what those who are probably not publishers are saying - "Buy 1500 books for $1.77 each and give them away for free!" Great idea! You want to pay for them? I'll give them away if you do, Mr. da Trux.
Mr. Anonymous? I ran myself ragged running demo games at GenCon last year. Spent tons of time prepping the games, which could have been used to work on product, not to mention the expenses of travel, getting a place to stay, and eating in Indy. Result? No appreciable difference in sales. Not a good return on investment.
until I get decent distribution, I'm not buying 1500 books.
- June 25, 2009 at 12:39 PM
- clash bowley said...
Another point which hasn't been addressed yet. I have 13 roleplaying games, plus supplements for each line. Buying 1500 of each comes to a bit of money. I would have to ease myself into anything, even with a good distro agreement.

Clash- you ever thought you were spreading yourself too thin?
And Palladium, as I once said, was once upon a time indie. Almost all of the RPG companies were at some point. That's something people seemed to have forgotten.

For those who have said it is no big thing to sell 1,000 copies of a most likely have never ever sold a 1,000 copies. EVER. It is tough to sell 1,000 copies. It is even tougher to sell them when you have a $2,655 bill for them over your head (PS: Don't forget the cost of shipping them to where ever you are sent. And what about storage?) Do yourself a favor and sell POD directly from your webiste first, If you get 500 sales, THEN think about selling direct. Don't let people who have not actually done what you are planning talk you into something stupid.

I have to side a bit with Clash. Distribution is important. However, I have to say it is more than just "a deal" in that you need to look at a lot of different channels to retailers and customers.
The lesson we should take away from this is know when to use POD and know when to use web press. The two are not interchangeable tools. I also think Palladium is getting a bit of a deal on that price. McNaughton Gunn was far from that reasonable with me.

my point was that very few people are going to pay for a game that they know nothing about, and probably know no one who has played it either.
without free distribution (or selling it at a loss) of at the very least the rules, you aren't going to sell anything.
also, if you are in the RPG business to make money, you're in for some big time disappointment. wait until you get distribution? how do you expect to do that if there isn't a market for your product? there is sizable risk in any business endeavor, and the tabletop RPG market has enormous financial risk involved for little profit.
Not everyone is going to end up like Mongooses publisher with a mansion and a Porsche. Hell, Palladium almost folded last year. D&D is only still around because of its parent corporation and name recognition.
Not everyone reads RPG blogs, or RPGNet or The Forge. Not everyone goes to conventions. But every gamer in every city knows where the local game/comic shop is. and every game/comic shop has a "free stuff" table. I know this because that's where my gaming magazine goes every month.
POD works if you have no ambition to sell more than a couple hundred copies and want to make a minimal amount of profit. but then you're pretty much trapped with POD because you'll just keep making small runs for any trickle of demand.
lastly, Anonymous; in what way is Palladium NOT an "indie" company? last time i checked, they weren't bought out by Hasbro or any other corporation. it's still run by Kevin out of his house, he still writes 90% of the books and does a lot of the artwork himself. Palladium just manages to be the largest indie company.

To answer the original question... Yeah, I think it's fair to say that indie publishers who have done any serious investigation of printing know that you go with a real printer once you're printing several hundred or more and stick with POD for smaller numbers.
I think, in many cases, what you think may be happening out of ignorance is actually happening because people have different goals and priorities for publishing.
Speaking personally, I don't have the will to do what needs to be done to sell 1500 copies on my own. Guys like Luke Crane and Fred Hicks do and that's totally awesome, but I know myself and my products well enough to know that's not for me. Heck, Vincent Baker sells that many without having to do anything, not even demoing his games at conventions, so it really is different strokes for different folks.

A big problem with having a 1,500 copies on hand and actually selling them is the cost in time and resources it takes to fulfill orders.
I used to do the zine and mail-order collectibles thing many years ago and processing payments and getting the things out the door could take a lot of time.
Most customers were cool but every now and then checks would bounce, sometimes even money orders would bounce. I usually could get the customer to get me the funds as most just made simple mistakes but every month I'd have to eat 1 or 2 bounced check fees (which were low back then for the account I had).
Non-subscription copies would take me 15-30 minutes to process including trips to the bank and post-office. Doesn't sound like much but multiply that by just couple hundred and boy oh boy it's a lot of time. sure you can get streamlined or wait until you get X-# of orders in and then you have to spend more time with customers soothing fears the product will not ship and dealing with canceled orders.
It can easily be a real job, that doesn't pay much. It's a real commitment not just the development time it takes to get the product ready.
If you aren't ready to do that, don't print up 1,500 books.
That's one reason POD is attractive, a lot of work is paid for and done by someone else.
But selling your own stuff is also a heck of a lot of fun.

Great post, cemented in quality by actually naming the printer in question. POD is easy to get into and can be hard to leave - POD printers have good, informative, useful web presences while finding an offset printer can be a baffling experience the first time someone tries it out. The simple fact that POD is usually easier (at least until a publisher has a certain amount of experience) is a huge draw for a small-scale publisher, and they may be willing to pay the extra cost to get benefits like customer support, distribution channels, ease of revisioning, clarity and reliability. Is that an equitable tradeoff? Clearly, that depends on your priorities.
For us, POD was the right place to start because Evil Hat is, financially speaking, a very conservative company. Starting out POD reduced our income per book by a fair chunk, but it also allowed us to minimize our exposure. It's great that our game sold well, but we had no reason to anticipate that, so we made choices that meant that if at any point the game stopped selling, our debt would be minimal.
There's a clear risk-reward equation there. If we'd decided to shell out for a several thousand book run at the outset, we'd have made a lot more money, but we also would have been in a tougher position if we hadn't gotten lucky. I point this out not to say that our choice was the right or wrong one, but rather that every publisher needs to make the choice that suits their comfort level.
Which comes back to why I dig this post. There are good reasons to go with POD, and good reasons to go with traditional printing, and every publisher is well served making the decision that suits them best. But if a publisher makes the decision without weighing both approaches against his needs and goals, he may do himself a disservice.
For a publisher starting from zero, it is easy to get familiar with their POD options, and harder to get a sense of their other options, so articles like this that call attention to that are a welcome thing.

- June 26, 2009 at 11:15 PM
The opening is "did you know"? The option to go offset or POD is entirely up to the individual. Kevin's article only reflected the desires of the people he spoke with. Starting a new company is always risky and time consuming and everyone decides how much time and effort they want to put into it. No, he doesn't consider 1,500 a small print run, it was just used to compare costs. That's all.
- June 27, 2009 at 8:33 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Good point, anonymous. I think if anyone had any doubts about his intent, here's a quote from his Sunday murmur:
To all of you imaginative and creative people self-publishing, whether your print run is 50, 500 or 5000, the best of luck to you. I know how hard it is to do what you are doing. It takes courage and plenty of hard work. I hope this info helps, if not now, maybe a year or three from now. Good luck, be positive, and keep following your dreams".

From writers/directors/producers Larry and Andy Wachowski, creators of the groundbreaking The Matrix trilogy, and producer Joel Silver comes the live-action, high-octane family adventure Speed Racer.
Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.
Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line.
The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.
What parents need to know before their kids see Speed Racer.

I finally was able to rent this movie for my 2 oldest (7 and 9) so they could watch a movie about a real hero and the best dog ever to hit the big screen.
I do not see Lassie as an alternative to Old Yeller.
There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend and that is exactly what Old Yeller does time and time again. This old yellow dog sacrificed his own life so that his family might live. This is exactly the same thing that followers of Jesus claim that he did and that is why I believe this story is so compelling and a must see for our children today.
The older boy in the movie was respectful to adults and had a healthy relationship with his father (another rarity in today's society). All in all, the emotions a child gets to experience in this movie are a privilege. My children will watch this movie over and over again I hope.
Unfortunately the movies come today for children are not even close to the quality of this one. Bibleman and Veggie Tale are good but too many they are too overtly Christian.
Old Yeller is all Christian without saying the word "Jesus". A+

Great parks in Camden
Kilburn Grange
The Grange first opened in 1913. The land was previously part of the Grange estate, after which it was named.
Kilburn Grange is a large park that is just behind the shops on Kilburn High Road. Due to its size there are a several different areas within the park. The newly re-furbished playground has found favour with the children who visit.
The three tennis courts are well booked up in the summer, whilst the multi-sports pitch is used all year round. Find out more about booking a tennis court
For those looking for a quiet corner to contemplate or relax, the rose gardens provide just such a space and are surrounded by a good range of mature trees, including a high proportion of native species, such as silver birch (Betula pendula), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), yew (Taxus baccata), holly (Ilex aquilifolium) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea).
The trees and shrubs provide nesting habitat for a range of common birds.
Thanks to our commitment to nature conservation an area has been set aside for wildlife to inhabit without interruption. Native grasses and herbs have been allowed to grow, including meadow barley (Hordeum secalinum), round-leaved crane's-bill (Geranium rotundifolium) and small-flowered crane's bill (G. pusillum). The latter two species are scarce in London.
In 2010 a new natural play has been added to improve the play facilities for young people. The play service also run special events from the building in this adventure playground.
