PO means "Purchase Order". When doing business with large companies this is a standard way of securing an order. They issue you a formal "Purchase Order" which specifies all the terms and conditions of them purchasing your product from you.
In some states and countries, a PO (Purchase Order) is considered a contractual commitment, which can be bound by the courts - in fact so much so, that there are companies that will loan businesses money based on the PO's they have on the go and use the PO as security. Purchase Order Financing is a fairly common way of growing a business when one doesn't want to deal with high interest lenders and credit card companies.
For example: Williams Sonoma orders 5 pallets of boxed chocolates. You need to order 2,000lbs of chocolate for that, but can't afford to pay for the ingredients, and maybe you even need a special piece of equipment to fulfill the order. You can approach a Purchase Order financing company to front you between 50 and 80% of the total purchase price to buy your supplies and equipment.
I know, probably more than you wanted to know, but this knowledge now opens up possibility for you down the road.
do not bank on those BIG places to sell to, They are all now requiring a certification from the GFSI (global food safety initiative) if you are food or agri approved that is NOT valid any more, you will need the independent audited cetification that will run a small business upwards of $30,000 and tons of headaches. Advice is to STAY away form those who require this certification.
also NO no one will finance a PO, they will only finance the amount after YOU deliver the order, ( they are called factorers) they give you money minus 20% and they wait the 30 days to get paid BUT if you sell an order for $150,000 and you have the ability to fill and deliver, why give up $30,000 to get the money sooner then 30 days.
if you think the banks or VCs or those who say "pay us $1000 and well put you in touch with an investor"? you will loose your $1000
Thanks Brad,
I appreciate the answer, and it is hard to walk away from the big chains at times. However I will never sign with companies like Costco, Walmart/Sam's, etc. unless they change some of their philosophies. I consider Whole Foods baby steps still. One region at a time.
Same with many others. I do have a different product than pure chocolate however, and although it is perishable on it's own merits, its shelf life is longer, but I see the angle that I need to take.
Again, many thanks for your advice.
We wrote a 45 page business plan, and like all good business plans you will burn it the day you open. We needed money, and we needed it at the pit of the recession. Yea, that was fun.
So don't do an extensive labor intensive plan. You need a cash flow sheet, you need to know what spokes of the wheel you're going to be going after money with and set some expectations of how you will profit. Then launch, and after Q1 refactor your cash flow model and start adjusting for reality.
I often suggest people find the SBA, SCORE, and SBTDC as places to go for advice in your region. They can help with advice, financial models, and shaking your logic tree. Very helpful stuff.
If you are able get some advisors you can talk to who can give you honest advice or thoughts. You don't have to take it, but you learn a lot from a variety of voices.
It can't be stressed enough that the real meat is once you start. Monthly or quarterly keep updating your sheets so you can get a gauge on where you are, where you are going, and what is needed to survive and thrive.
Much luck! :D
Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion...I am in the same position as Jennifer, and it helps to keep me focused, and move forward.
business plans are for securing capital, If you have the cash you do not need the business plan. Impress people with products not images of what is possible. My business plan allowed me to raise over $1,000,000 and eventually took my company public. after that the business plan was no longer needed.

Bellevue SWAT team kills robbery suspect in South Seattle
Bellevue police serving an arrest warrant fatally shot a man seated in a car Friday in South Seattle.
Seattle Times staff reporters
The man who was fatally shot by Bellevue SWAT officers in South Seattle on Friday morning was a suspected robber who was attempting to run down officers with his car, according to Seattle police.
The suspect, who has not been publicly identified, was in his car at his brother's house near South Hudson Street and 42nd Avenue South around 5 a.m. when Bellevue SWAT officers arrived to serve a warrant, Seattle police said.
Seattle police, who are investigating the officer-involved shooting, said that as SWAT officers approached the residence they noticed one of the men they were looking for was in the driver's seat of a Mercedes-Benz parked in the driveway.
"The suspect noticed the SWAT officers, too," according to a news statement released by Seattle police. "He put the car in reverse and backed up with such velocity and disregard that he struck a parked Ford F-250 pickup truck and pushed it several yards into the street."
Bellevue officers gave numerous commands for the suspect to stop, but the man switched the car into drive and stepped on the gas, police said.
Three Bellevue officers who fired their weapons were afraid the suspect would "drive them over rather than surrender," Seattle police said.
The three officers, who have not been named, have been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure after a police shooting.
Seattle police said one of the Bellevue officers fired a handgun and the two others fired rifles.
The wounded man was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he died, police said.
Police said there was no one inside the house, but the suspect's brother was questioned. Once it was determined the brother was not a suspect and was legally carrying a firearm, he was allowed to leave with the gun, according to Seattle police spokeswoman Renee Witt.
According to Bellevue police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate, SWAT officers were attempting to serve warrants on the suspect's residence and vehicle in connection with a series of robberies in Bellevue and other jurisdictions.
She said it's common for officers to work in other areas and that while Bellevue SWAT was leading the operation, Seattle police detectives were standing by to question the suspects.
She did not release additional information on Friday about the robberies or any other suspects, except to say there had been at least three robberies.
Juli and John Russell, who live across the street from the suspect's brother's home, said they were startled by gunfire, police yelling commands on a loudspeaker and the sight of a man's body on their street.
"Early this morning, we heard gunshots outside of our house. A lot of voices, yelling, at like 5 in the morning," said Juli Russell, a graphic designer.
"I was up already, and when I looked out the window, my husband and I saw a car crash into another car, a Bellevue SWAT vehicle and a body that was shot."
Neighbor David Keyes said, "We hunkered down on the floor in the bedroom and tried to stay safe. We knew this was not kids messing around with fireworks at 5 in the morning."
He said police evacuated them from their home about a half-hour later.

By Nick Stamoulis
Lately it seems like the social communication behavior and methods people use to interact are more like tangled-up power lines. Years ago there were traditionally only a small handful of ways to communicate; at work, phone, fax and face-to-face. For the last ten years or so many generations have been able to adopt email as a crucial form of communication, but now there are many newer social networking methods of communication between consumers, businesses, friends and families.
How many people do you know across different generations that actually have Facebook accounts? The numbers are staggering, but to a marketer and business owner it is crucial to understand that one size does not fit all. Even though these generations tend to actively use social networks such as Facebook or LinkedIn they are still VERY different overall in the way they communicate.

96 Tasting Notes
Smooth, buttery, spinachy, and slurpable, just the way I like my greens. A bit like the mao feng and jade cloud/cloud and mist specimens I've tasted, but there's something about this one that I like even better. (This is the first mao jian I've tried, I believe, so my comparison may be lacking.) It's a solid, unfussy tea that has lifted my spirits without having to pay very close attention to it. The fact that it tastes great even though it's not super-fresh and I used hard unfiltered tap water makes me like it even more. At only £5 for 50 grams, I predict I'll be buying more of this in the not too distant future.
Flavors: Butter, Kale
Another night up with an unhappy tummy. This seemed to help a bit, and on top of that was tastier than I'd remembered. I noticed the chocolate notes more, which tasted like very dark (maybe 90%) chocolate that had burnt onto a baking tray, but without the harshness or astringency you might expect. After a few sips the chocolate flavors gave way to wood and roasted grains, while the mouthfeel remained creamy throughout. It's almost like hot cocoa for grown-up palates that don't like sweets – I just about fell asleep drinking this. Definitely reconsidering my "I only really like green oolongs" stance now.
Flavors: Chocolate, Dark Bittersweet, Roasted Barley, Wood
This tea is just not doing it for me. Brewing it with tap water (with the right parameters this time) only resulted in cup after cup of frustration and disappointment, so I finally gave in and tried it with bottled mineral water heated in a pot on the stove. The resulting tea is noticeably better, but still not very good. I definitely wouldn't use the words "smooth" or "mellow" to describe it – I find it quite bitter and astringent, producing an unpleasant drying sensation in most of my mouth and throat.
I don't know if I'm Doing It Wrong with the temperature (it was kind of awkward using my thermometer with the low level of water in the pot) or the water hardness or if the leaves age really poorly or what. I really wish I were getting what the other reviewers were getting. At the same time, I can't really be bothered with a tea that seems so finicky when there are so many others that have given me brilliant results without having to work so hard for it.
Adagio breeze-oh no, looks like you have our old instructions. The current brewing parameters are 1 1/2 level tsp for 8oz of 175 F degree water. 2 minute steep time. Hope this helps.
I just wanted to say, I have not forgotten you! I just… haven't done anything about it yet, but I'm going to. Soon! Don't you worry! :)
Stacy – those were the instructions on my label, which I thought were the old ones! I wasn't too keen on that method either, haha. But I will give it ONE MORE TRY with the bottled water!
adagio breeze-Ah ha. I noticed that some people have even knocked it down to 1 level teaspoon. Also, wanted to mention that we use measuring spoons which have a round bowl as the measuring spoons that are flatter tend to allow for too much leaf. Good luck!
I have been very bad and not reviewing my teas. But not entirely bad, because I have been drinking them quite regularly.
I'm having this as an after-dinner beverage, as my tummy is acting up again and oolongs are supposed to be good for digestion. I'm tasting more fruitiness and less flower than last time, and maybe even some honey notes. Not sure if I'm noticing the non-floral flavors more due to drinking a fair number of oolongs since I first tried this one, or if leaving the tea in a clear plastic bag on top of the fridge for a month altered it. Either way, it's sweet and delicious.
This is really a gorgeous tea. Even with my ridiculously hard city tap water, and with leaves that are easily a year old, it's still giving me a beautiful cup. First infusion was smooth, nutty-sweet, and extremely slurp-able. Second and third infusions were more grassy and fruity, but still very nice. Fourth didn't fare so well (it was a bit like swimming pool water with lemon – sorry!) but I couldn't care less because of the amazingness of the first two. Definitely restocking this one when it's finished!
Flavors: Grass, Nuts
Sipdown! I used more leaf than last time (probably a bit more than 1 1/4 tsp) in about the same amount of water. I'm smelling & tasting a rather strong genmaicha-esque toasty rice (which I'm enjoying) with a very noticeable metallic tang (which I don't like so much), neither of which I can recall when I tried this before. Now that this tea is back in stock, I'll consider picking up a bit more to play around with when I'm in North America next.
Okay, I have no idea what I did differently this time (aside from maybe cooler water and taking care to introduce the water more slowly) but it's so much better than in my last note. Creamy, beany, and sweet, with no harshness. I'm not paying really close attention to all the flavor nuances, but it's very pleasant and comforting. Bravo, He family!
ETA: Might have gone a bit too long/hot on the second steep (2 min, 180F or so), because I got a taste of ash again. Currently on the third steep (2 min, 175F, 5-6 oz water) and it tastes predominantly of toasted rice – if I hadn't made the tea myself, I would have thought I was drinking genmaicha. Very interesting, and tasty!
Thank you Stacy for the sample!
Dry leaf smells lightly of toffee & strawberry, with strawberry aroma becoming more prominent while steeping. Flavor is similar but gentler, with a noticeable hint of ginger. It's nice enough, but not among my Butiki favorites. Part of that could be my fault, for letting the sample languish in the plastic baggie for months, or using a brew basket that still had the lingering smell of another flavored tea (though I did soak it in 185F-ish water prior to adding the tea to minimize cross-contamination). I'll give this one another try in the future.
Today's green. I was all ready to give it a mediocre review until I noticed that the suggested steeping parameters here & on the Butiki site (2 tsp in 6oz water) are different from what was on my label (1 1/2 tsp in 8oz water). So that would be why it tasted so weak. Will revisit this one later.
Project Drink Your Greens continues. Although this one looks a lot more like silver needle than any other green I've come across – the dry leaf is super fluffy, and it was kind of hard to measure out a level teaspoon.
Boiling water? Well all right, if Stacy says so. The tea didn't seem to suffer at all – very soft with subtle flavors, like a more vegetal silver needle. The first flavor I picked up was artichoke, and now that I read the tasting notes I notice a few wisps of pea and marine. Most green teas taste to me like some sort of leafy vegetable, but this doesn't seem to have any element of that, which is a nice change of pace.
I'm amazed how gentle this tea is after 3 minutes in boiling water, with no bitterness or astringency other than some dryness in the throat. It's one that you have to focus on as it's pretty easy to overlook the mild flavors, but doing so is a rewarding experience.

In a recent interview, Grammy winner and former "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson was asked about her love life. "Man, I just keep going on horrible dates," she answered.
Most guys won't admit it, but most of us find "first date" experiences can range from mildly anxiety-provoking to downright nerve-wracking.
Going out with someone new can be exciting—as long as it's the right someone.
Dating may feel like an interview process, but dressing in a power suit might kill the mood!

Leslie had spent the night before and it was so nice to finally get to see her again. We went to dinner Saturday night for my bday (Iron Hill on the Riverfront...wha?? There IS such a place? Yes Les, there is :P) and sat out on the deck...the Blue Rocks had fireworks going off and we could see them from our table. It was just a really cool night. Then yesterday, after my house was cleaned to my liking, Leslie and I went to CP and to Baglemania, more for old time's sake than anything else (ok, we were starving too) and it's so weird the memories those places hold. Not to get all sentimental and crap but those really were the good ol' days. Now Leslie's far away and Jess is here but were all so freaking busy...ok, quarter way through the year resolution: stay in better touch with the real friends while I have the chance.
Jess, bless her heart, stayed to help clean up last night and we got to catch up - made plans to go to RenFaire this year with Mike and Carolyn. Everyone just got along so well, I didn't feel like anyone was uncomfortable or had nothing to say or no one they could talk to if I was off mingling. It was a successful day and everyone loved the house (my shoe closet was a big hit) and Heather of all people asked me to help her decorate her apartment. So Jess FINALLY has a valid ID as of today and we are soooo going out to the bars. Leslie invited me to her house and to go riding with her -- we've been friends for years and I've never met her horses -- and I am definetly taking her up on the offer. Ugh, I love my friends so much and I got so caught up in everything and how far away some of them live that I am just realizing how much I love and miss them. Me, Jess, and Leslie, the CP sisters, definetly need a girls night out.
Tomorrow will be 2 years since Leslie and I went skydiving...it seems like forever ago and yesterday at the same time...I believe it was a red hot chili pepper that said, 'I love all of you'. Tons.

Exhibit 13-3
Producing Corn Ethanol: Dry Milling
The ethanol production process starts by grinding up feedstock so that it can be processed more easily. Once ground, the sugar either is dissolved out of the material or the starch is converted into sugar. The sugar then is fed to microbes that use it for food, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide in the process. A final step purifies the ethanol to the desired concentration. Finally, the ethanol is stored in above- ground tanks until it can be transported.

New York's Outside Television Names Emmy-Award Winning SVP
Rob Faris has an impressive resume: an Emmy-winner for his work on the Summer Olympics in Athens for NBC, a producer at ESPN and Madison Square Garden and, most recently, an executive producer at Voom HD, a Cablevision-owned network of high-definition stations.
Luckily Faris' many talents will not be going to waste at his new job as senior vice president of programming and production at Outside Television, the vacation/resort network that launched 10 days ago. Outside, a collaboration between Outside magazine's publisher Mariah Media and Resort Sports Network, will broadcast at over 100 resort destinations throughout the U.S.
Says Outside's CEO Mark Burchill of the hire, "Rob is the strongest candidate to guide our new initiatives." That might be something of an understatement, considering the producer's accomplishments.
Press release after the jump.

|RCMP update Magrath council
|Local Content - Local News

The fourth-quarter report for Magrath was given at Tuesday night's town council meeting. RCMP Sergeant, Kelly McCoy, says despite a few property incidents, "Magrath is not a hotbed for crime."
There were two major incidents McCoy had mentioned, one regarding improper transport of trees, the other involving a vicious dog.
When cutting trees down it's not safe to just chain them up and head down the highway, says McCoy, if the chain were to break that's a huge liability.
"We are checking into the incident with the dog. There were two calls on it, where people had been bitten," he explained. "We understand that it was to be voluntarily put down, but if not stricter consequences will have to be imposed."
Councillors Tom Spackman, and Brenda Beck were pleased overall with the RCMP's service to the town of Magrath.
"I am really pleased with the service in town. You're really visible, and that's great," said Spackman.
The area's newest constable, Adam Dell, has been with the Magrath/Raymond detachment for about a month now.
"He's loving it here, because it's a whole different pace than what he's used to," says McCoy. "Currently we have one extra body in the municipality, because the person he's replacing hasn't physically left yet."
McCoy went on to say that the RCMP office in Raymond will be interviewing for two office positions further down the road. Which will free up some of the officers to spend more time keeping the surrounding municipalities and highways safe.

This is the gift shop at the Living Desert Reserve. Isn't it intriguing? Window Views and Doors, Too for May 27, 2010.
Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

TokuDB vs InnoDB in timeseries INSERT benchmark
This post is a continuation of my research of TokuDB's storage engine to understand if it is suitable for timeseries workloads. While inserting LOAD DATA INFILE into an empty table shows great results for TokuDB, what's more interesting is seeing some realistic workloads. So this time let's take a look at the INSERT benchmark.
The Optimization That (Often) Isn't: Index Merge Intersection
Prior to version 5.0, MySQL could only use one index per table in a given query without any exceptions; folks that didn't understand this limitation would often have tables with lots of single-column indexes on columns which commonly appeared in their WHERE clauses, and they'd wonder why the EXPLAIN plan for a given SELECT would […]

Not small… I calculated that with something like insert into MyISAM_table… select * from Innodb_table… would take […]

Inspiration for this post is courtesy of a friend and former colleague of mine, Greg Youngblood, who pinged me last week with an interesting MySQL puzzle. He was running Percona Server 5.5.21 with a table structure that looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE foo (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),
INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
When he ran this query:
SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
The result came back as 2012-06-22 10:28:16. […]

Making good eye contact is tough.
Give too much eye contact, and you come across as too intense (at best) or a creepy starer (at worst).
Give too little eye contact, and the other person might think you don't care about what they have to say.
Plus, when you're worrying about making good eye contact, the rest of the interaction suffers. Instead of enjoying a great conversation, you're stressing about eye contact.
That's not good for anyone.
The Secret Of Great Eye Contact
Fortunately, there's a simple trick that will help you master great eye contact.
Just match your eye contact with your partner's.
If they look at you, look at them. If they look away, look away.
Easy, right?
Here's why it works. There's no such thing as "perfect" eye contact. Your goal is to make your partner feel comfortable with you, which means all you need to do is avoid giving too much eye contact or not enough.
Different people feel comfortable with different levels of eye contact. But almost everybody will initiate the amount of eye contact that they feel comfortable with. That means that if you give them the same amount of eye contact that they give you, they'll probably feel comfortable.
Look at your partner when they look at you (and look away when they don't), and you'll be squarely inside the level of eye contact they feel comfortable with. It really is that easy.
Mastering Good Eye Contact
Of course, there are a few details to take care of.
You don't want to mirror your partner exactly, or they'll quickly realize you're copying them. It's ok to instantly match their eye contact on occasion, but in general, you should wait a few seconds before copying them. Wait about one second before looking at them, and about two or three seconds before looking away.
Those numbers are just rough guidelines, of course. Feel free to experiment to find what feels natural for you. The important thing is that you avoid moving like a mirror image of your partner. The exact timing of your pauses is less important.
Also, be aware that eye contact rules change somewhat when you're having an emotional conversation. It's sometimes easier to discuss emotional issues when you're not looking at someone, so when people are sharing something very personal or emotional, they will sometimes look away from the person they are speaking to.
If that happens, you still need to look at them to show that you care. If your gaze wanders, that communicates that you don't really care about what they're saying, which is bad at any time but especially hurtful when they're sharing something emotional.
Eye Contact Rhythm
As you start to practice matching your partner's eye contact, you'll start to develop a sense of how much eye contact feels "natural." Eventually, you won't even need to consciously think about matching their eye contact—it will just happen automatically.
If you want to speed that process, there's an easy way to get a better sense of the "rhythm" of eye contact. Just watch some movies and pay attention to the eye contact given between the characters. That will help you see what kind of eye contact matching looks natural.
Bear in mind that different settings lead to different kinds of eye contact. Two flirting lovers might match eye contact shifts instantly and have more prolonged eye contact, whereas two acquaintances might take several seconds to match each other and look away often.
Also, when you analyze the movie interactions you might notice that characters will not match each other 100%—sometimes one character will look at another even though the other character is still looking away. This is totally ok.
All you need is a similar level of eye contact. There's no need to match their eye contact perfectly. If on occasion you feel like looking at them even though they're not looking at you, or you feel like looking away before they do, that's fine.
The important thing is that you are "in general" matching what they do. As long as you're in the same ballpark as them, then your eye contact will be fine. When you're starting out, you'll want to match their eye contact very closely to make sure that you stay in the safe zone.
But as you gain more experience, you'll get a better sense of what eye contact level feels natural. That will let you adjust your eye contact to what feels comfortable for both you and them, not just them.
The end result is that you won't have to think about eye contact at all—you'll just do the eye contact that feels natural for both you and your partner.
Take a bit of time to learn these good eye contact techniques, and you'll find yourself richly rewarded with more comfortable and enjoyable conversations for both you and your partners.
To Summarize:
- When your partner looks at you, look at them. When they look away, look away
- Pause for a few seconds before matching your partner's eye contact
- As you develop more experience, you won't need to match your partner's eye contact as exactly because you can rely on your instincts.
That's all there is to it!
Of course, there's lots of other ways to master how your body communicates. If you want to continue building your social skills, check out my section on body language.
And be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think of my advice, or share an eye contact tip of your own. Thanks for reading!

Bill Sienkiewicz
(Artist -
Elektra: Assassin; Moon Knight; New Mutants; Wolverine
Boleslav Felix Robert Bill Sienkiewicz [pronounced sin-KEV-itch] is an Eisner Award-winning American artist best known for his comic book work, primarily for Marvel Comics The New Mutants and Elektra: Assassin. Sienkiewicz often utilizes oil painting, collage, mimeograph and other forms generally uncommon in comic books.
Sienkiewicz began drawing when [he] was about four or five, and continued doing and learning about art throughout his childhood. His early comic-book influences include artist Curt Swan Superman comics, and artist Jack Kirbys Fantastic Four. After art school, Sienkiewicz brought a portfolio of his work to DC Comics art director Vince Colletta. The artist recalled in 1985... They didnt have any work for me, but that didnt bother me. I just figured that if comics didnt work out Id have done advertising or illustration. Vinnie called [renowned comics and advertising artist] Neal Adams, who put me in touch with [Marvel Comics editor-in-chief] Jim Shooter. Soon after that I was drawing Moon Knight (in The Hulk [black-and-white comics] magazine).
Sienkiewicz broke into the comics business at age 19. Sienkiewicz continued as artist of the Moon Knight color comics series, starting with the first issue (November 1980). Four years later, after a stint as artist on the Fantastic Four, he became the artist on Marvels X-Men spin-off New Mutants, beginning with issue #18 (August 1984), producing cover paintings and character designs. From this period on, Sienkiewiczs art evolved into a much more expressionistic style, and he began experimenting with paint, collage, and mixed media. He illustrated New Mutants from 19841985.
Sienkiewicz produced covers for a range of Marvel titles, including Rom, Dazzler, The Mighty Thor, Return of the Jedi and The Transformers, and drew the comic adaptation of Dune.
Sienkiewiczs own first writing credit was for the painted story Slow Dancer in Epic Illustrated magazine in 1986. Sienkiewicz both wrote and illustrated the 1988 miniseries Stray Toasters, an idiosyncratic work published by Epic about a criminal psychologist investigating a series of murders.
He illustrated the 1986-87 eight-issue miniseries Elektra: Assassin written by Frank Miller. After which, he collaborated with writer Andrew Helfer on the first six issues of DC Comics The Shadow series. In 1988, he contributed to the Brought to Light graphic novel with writer Alan Moore. In 1990, Sienkiewicz and Moore published the first two issues of the uncompleted series Big Numbers. Sienkiewicz painted the Classics Illustrated adaptation of the novel Moby-Dick.
Sienkiewicz was the subject of a 2008 full-length documentary/interview produced by Woodcrest Productions, The Creator Chronicles: Bill Sienkiewicz. The documentary features the only full-length, video interview conducted with Bill Sienkiewicz.
In 2007, Sienkiewicz penciled 30 Days of Night: Beyond Barrow. In 2008, Sienkiewicz illustrated a story for The Nightmare Factory - Volume 2 graphic novel.
In addition to his work in comics, Sienkiewicz has also worked in numerous other media. In 1995, he illustrated the Martin I. Green biography of Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child: The Illustrated Legend of Jimi Hendrix. The following year he provided the artwork for the Bruce Cockburn album The Charity of Night, and went on to provide album covers for RZAs Bobby Digital in Stereo (1998) and EPMDs Business as Usual (1990).
He once again collaborated with Green in 1998, to produce a childrens book, Santa, My Life & Times. His artwork has been published in magazines including Entertainment Weekly and Spin Magazine.
In 1989, Sienkiewicz painted the art for the Friendly Dictators card set published by Eclipse Comics which portrayed various foreign leaders such as Mobutu Sese Seko, Ferdinand Marcos, and Anastasio Somoza.
In 2004, Sienkiewicz contributed to card art for VS System, a collectible card game published by Upper Deck Entertainment.
In 2006, Sienkiewicz designed the layout and art for The Venture Bros. season one DVD set. He also designed the cover art for the season three DVD and Blu-ray set. Still in 2006, Sienkiewicz teamed with Neal Adams to create art for former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. Their artwork was utilized as video projections for live performances of Waters Leaving Beirut.

Fire destroys Greenfield apartment building
Updated On: Mar 02 2014 07:29:29 AM CST
More than a dozen families are without a home after fire destroyed an apartment building in Greenfield on Saturday.
VIDEO: Flames shoot from window in Greenfield apartment complex fire
Crews were called to the 16-unit building near 73rd Street and Southridge Avneue around 1 p.m. Fire Chief John Cohn said the fire may have started in the basement.
"Firefighters were literally frozen in their gear so we had to rotate people in and out. We were using different apartment buildings as staging areas to keep firefighters warm," Cohn said.
Everyone made it out of the apartments safely. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Best Salon to Drink Miami 2012 - Rik Rak Salon
1428 Brickell Ave.
Miami, FL 33131
Going to the hair salon can be pretty damn stressful. You're basically trusting some relative stranger (unless, of course, your stylist is your actual relative) with your precious tresses. And let's face it — even air traffic controllers screw up once in a while. We can't think of a more appropriate time to be a little buzzed than when someone is working with scissors or a 450-degree flatiron near your face. Problem is, most salons don't serve booze. Which is why we love Rik Rak. Not only does it serve beer and wine, but there's also a full espresso bar. Skipping off to the salon on your lunch break? Order a salad or sandwich from Rik Rak and eat it in the styling chair or take it back to the office after you've been properly coiffed. And if it's one-stop shopping you're after, check out the shoe selection here. Because after spending an hour getting a winter's worth of dead skin scraped from your heels, you'll need a new pair of peep-toe pumps. In a city of convenience, Rik Rak is the only place we know where you can booze it up and actually look better than you looked before you started drinking.

International Wholesalers Question
8 Years, 10 Months ago
I have not been here for several months due to being busy with work, and have tried to catch up with this international orders discussion. Can I confirm one thing.
Are DF products still going to be available in stores in Europe? (In the case of the UK via the wholesaler, Esdevium Games).
If so, I am not too concerned, even though it is annoying to miss out on certain limited edition items. If however, the reference to finding a distributor means that DF have now burnt their bridges with Ezdevium as well as Gargoyle Games, I think there is a real problem.
Could Stefan or Jeff kindly clarify if, in future, we are talking about DF products only being available direct from DF, or whether this is simply a direct ordering issue, and the mainstream availability via hobby shops in Europe in unaffected?

International Wholesalers Question

I would also appreciate to get some more information about the international distribution question (especially to europe/germany). While I almost decided to accept the hight costs to get at least one of the remaining DoE Sets, it would be very nice to know if we'll have to pay approximately double the real price for the extraordinary gorgeous Cavernous River & Walls set by importing it from the US, or if there is any chance to get them at a 'normal' price from. Not to speak about any future release like the Cavernous River and whatsoever might follow.
If there will be no solution soon, the high costs may be stopping me from buying any further DF Master Maze stuff, because even addiction can not justify the costs.

International Wholesalers Question
8 Years, 8 Months ago
We have had talks with Esdevium to get our stuff into the UK, but right now we just don't have enough of an inventory built up to think about wholesaling it out again. We have to sell a LOT of product to equal what we make in profit directly to consumers, so we are loathe right now to deplete our inventories on such low profit margins. Perhaps next year we will be in a position to offer a good number of sets to Esdevium. Much depends on what happens through the rest of 2006.
I can tell you that going to the direct market has been great for us. We are going to release FIVE sets in 2006 -- which is more than double the previous record.
I am sorry that everyone overseas has to pay the big shipping charges, but right now there is no other way. We don't make a dime off of the shipping, so I wish there was another way. Perhaps next year we can convince Esdevium to buy a big shipment. Keep your fingers crossed!

International Wholesalers Question

Well, at least this is a statement one can calculate with: Me for myself will probably decide next month if I am willing to take the pain in the a.., eh.., bank account ;-) to preorder the Cavernous River & Walls. It may also depend on how my current 'experiment' with the DoE sets and some Diagonal 1/2 Floor Tiles will work.
I think the worst thing with the shipping costs is that they not only have a relatively high base value, but also seem to be strongly coupled with the weight. So it becomes completely senseles to buy smaller items alone, e.g. just a set of Diagonal 1/2 Floor Tiles at $8 will add $54.25 for shipping. But there is also only a limited positive effect on the costs when buying multiple bigger sets (me usually take two), e.g. 1 Cavernous River & Walls Set $139.00 + shipping $97.05 (~+70%), 2 sets $278.00 + shipping $137.50 (~+50%), 5 sets $695.00 + shipping $258.95 (~+37%). In this case more than 5 sets is not possible, because there seem to be an upper limit (on weight?) as well. People trying to organize order bundlig here should consider that, since the possibility to reduce the shipping costs is limited when ordered via the DF shop. So if you really want to organise something effective you might have to setup a special deal with DF and become something like a 'temporary emergency distributor'.
At least one good thing currently is the relatively weak $ /strong €. Bad are in fact the taxes in germany (16% now, 19% from 2007) but one would have to pay them on the product anyway, even with a local disributor.
I am also kind of strained what the customs topic will turn out in my 'DoE order experiment', hoping that the 'Gesellschaftspiele' declaration thing mentioned in the forum here will work ;-)
So let's hope the Esdevium deal or something similar will work next year.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the welcome.
That remembers me how long I am using this nick name.
It was at a time when almost everyone used names like 'Luke' 'Maverick', etc. ...
So I decided: Ok, when everybody uses film heros names so let's take the *anti-hero* from Spaceballs ;-)

International Wholesalers Question
8 Years, 8 Months ago
I have also noted the weight limit on international shipments, -(recently I had to split a large order with the larger of the two costing me just over $175 US alone) so I have a rough idea of what you're talking about.
Might I suggest a possible compromise that would allow DF to assist international customers
while maintaining the wider profit margin of direct sales
, at least for the forseeable future.
Would it be possible for DF to absorb the cost of the $20 processing surcharge (required for the processing of international shipping documentation etc) that is being built-in to the calculated shipping costs
(if I understand the present situation correctly)
. If this is not the case, please let me know.
Please don't misinterperet this as a complaint as I am quite pleased with the shipping options presently available, the above comment being intended only a suggestion.
