I'm proud to announce that we're starting a new podcast series for Communication Standards! This brand new series is designed to help all of you who work on EERE products—print, exhibits, or Web standards—learn more about the most important requirements for EERE products.
There are a lot of standards, so it can be hard to know which ones are the most crucial. Throughout this year, I'll be covering some of the most important standards there are in this podcast, including alt text, linking standards, blogs, social media, and more. And, better yet, each podcast will be about 5-7 minutes long, so you can listen to them whenever you have time for a quick reminder.
The first episode is an introduction to Communication Standards. We're expecting to release the next episode, about the Project Review Team-part of the Process and Approvals Process next week. So please look forward to our next episode!
And if you're not familiar with podcasts, it's a great time to learn: The instructions are explained on the main podcasts page. So, if you enjoy the podcasts, you can sign up for our feed and get updates every time we add a new episode.

Friends of Troy University enjoying a recent holiday party were, from left, Allen Brislin, Harry Kearley, John Ferguson, Milton Woodfin, Mark Kelly, David Grimes and Steve Campbell.
- Filed Under
Barbara Findley Harrington, Sandra Hicks Larson and Allen Brislin initiated the idea of a Montgomery holiday gathering of Troy University alums three years ago. They were among the more than 100 alums and friends who continued the tradition during a recent Thursday night soiree hosted in the Cloverdale home of Barbara and David Grimes.
Guests were asked to bring a dish and a "dirty Santa" gift to the BYOB party, and they arrived with a wonderful variety of hors d'oeuvres and jolly holiday spirits.
They came from cities and towns between Destin, Fla., and Prattville to mingle with old friends ...

Roar. Since I wasn't really happy with Alana's design I ended up seriously changing it. This means I also have actual comic pages to go back and change now too, but eh... I thought I'd post the new version anyway so you guys can tell me if you like the first one better, or how flaming lame this new one is, or something. -_-
Going for a bit more of a macho thing rather than a squishy thing.
Also, zero-geeeeeeeee~
Also also, more mecha;
Name: NAL2 Pulec
Production company: Navotny Orbital Assemblies.
Height/Weight: 10 Meters / 241 Tonnes
Basic Description: A single ion-engined oddity, the Pulec or "tadpole" was Navotny's attempt to make a lander as small and agile as the AL series. Not only was this unsuccessful, but a whole ton of downgraded radar issues and structural problems with the legs make it only really suitable for buyers on a budget. The biggest positive note is that despite being half the weight, it can still use all of the exact same weapons as it's big brother the Netvor.
yeah i like this Alana better
Appreciate it, man. Kodos seems to prefer 'er too.
It probably doesn't help that she reminds me more than a little of a chump from my last projecty thing, through... You know, the crashing ball'o'flame.

I never thought your characters were unattractive. The style you draw them in has a lot of flexibility for unique facial quirks and features. It makes them feel more human.
Thanks. It can be pretty hard to tell in a medium so filled with fan service, so I do worry about people simply not liking my characters at first glance. Maybe I'm just too used to 'artgineering' people like I do mecha.
Anyhow. Cheers for the overall support, guys. It's gone a long way to stopping me from ditching this idea indeed. There are still some revisions I need to make, but I'll try to get some pages up sooner or later. :3
Until then, as a bonus, I wouldn't mind showing some of the ridiculous amounts of paperwork I did to make the mecha in this uber-realistic, if people are interested...
Last edited by Regantor; 05-27-2012 at 07:43 PM.
Alright, well... I did my best to make at least a little bit of this understandable, but the simple answer is 'MATHS', really. So I apologize in advance, but at least one of you might be able to get something usefull out of this...
Also, keep in mind that I have no idea how relevant to the plot alot of this stuff is even going to be, so please don't take this as stuff that characters are actually going stand around talking about within the comic. x_x
I used Excel for alot of it, so it isn't quite as complicated as it probably looks, and practically all of the information on stuff like the exhaust velocity of a rocket, to the density of materials, I simply looked up on wikipedia... But yeah. Feel free to ask me specific questions about junk. Or science and engineering questions in general, I guess.
First off, let me note that all the landers in the series are suitable for use in low-gravity or space environments only... Mostly because all the technologies involved are available in some crude form now. The name 'lander' comes from their ability to hop around on asteroids or other low-gravity places like the moon, and make short trans-orbital jumps if they really have to.
Now, why are they shaped like giant men instead of proper rockets, then, if I'm being so smarty-pants and realistic? The reason is that gimballed thrusters are a thing, and by putting the thrusters on the bottom of the legs, the 'rocket' can change it's direction just by altering it's center of gravity (AKA moving the legs). Real-life rockets use a whole bundle of extra mini "apogee" thrusters to just knock the nose into the direction you want to go, but these add weight and can obviously run out of fuel.
The fact that the landers actually have fronts and rears is probably the biggest artistic license I've taken... but yeah. It would probably look a bit sucky if they didn't.
-Thrusters and boring maths stuff-
Ion engines, the kind used by the Netvor and the Pulec, already exist but are ridiculously power hungry. This is exactly why those two landers are so damn heavy. One thruster is 10 tons, and requires an 10,000Kw, 5 ton nuclear reactor (weight based on a los alamos heat pipe design) ontop of it just to power it... plus a 2 ton tungsten plate to stop the radiation from killing the crew! It uses carbon buckyballs for fuel since carbon is easy to find in the asteroid belt.
The 'ALB's use much smaller and lighter Arcjet engines, which are not properly being made yet, but exist enough for me to know what their stats are. They are basically way more power efficient but have sucky thrust. They use hydrogen as fuel, which is pretty abundant too, but harder to separate from minerals.
I used these stats as a minimum value for messing around with the crafts volume, via an excel spreadsheet I made which did the whole '(height x width x depth) x density = mass' thing for me automatically. After entering the percentage of the craft taken up by fuel, and the thrust values of the engines involved, the same spreadsheet also works out the delta-V, or how much 'range' the rocket has, for me.
SPOILER! :The maths for figuring out a craft's delta V;
Engine Exhaust Velocity in meters per second x LN (Craft weight empty of fuel in tons / Craft weight full in tons) = max speed in meters per second
The density is 0.35 tons per meter, the same as modern aircraft. 15% percent of the weight is the structural weight, and another 15% is the hydraulics to get the thing to move, much higher than the 4% of real landing gear. They are between 30% and 40% pure fuel, alrough that is actually ridiculously low for space craft (The saturn V rocket that went to the moon was more than 90%!)
Pretty much everything is aircraft grade 6061 aluminum alloy.
Note the fact that all of the designs also have radiators to stop the crews from boiling to death, but I'm sure you have had enough maths for now, so I'll just tell you that this is the reason that the space shuttle always flies with the bay doors open in space. :p
-The Results-
The Netvor and the Pulec thus have a maximum speed of 68,400 km per hour, and the ALB has a rather more ridiculous 185,828 km per hour in a vacuum.
Everybody is armed with missiles and chainguns, plus shoulder-mounted grenades that basically just put a big swarm of ballbearings in the way to stop incomming missiles. Putting as much lead and heat-seaking death in the sky as possible is a good idea, since the aforementioned weight stuff means that you won't have too much weight left over for armour plating.
Lasers are a waste of time, as even with a 25MW, 1 meter lens laser (way more powerful than any of the generators I put above), you could still only effectively fire up to 19 km in space. Take a gander at how fast everything can go, and you'll see that this is a bit ridiculously short ranged. Lasers are the only thing in space that even has a range, due to a law of physics called diffraction. Everything else just runs out of fuel to change direction with.
Just for lulz, the ALB's large left handed cannon is actually the 120mm cannon pinched directly off the M1 Abrams tank. :3
The weight and stats for all sorts of crap like the pilot, the life support system, the radar, the antennas, e.t.c, came from so many fighter planes and whatnot it would be ridiculous to put them all down here...
That's it for now. I have more stuff to do with space travel, orbits and launch windows, but somehow I think even mecha fans are gonna find that stuff entirely useless. x_x

Nice, man - always cool to see the background behind your stuff. Do you 're-invent' the universe and tech from scratch each time you start a new story?

How to wear skinny belts to work
Q. I work at a conservative law firm on the east coast and I'd like to know what a feminine (yet appropriate) way to wear a skinny belt is. Can I wear it around my waist? If so what kind of shirts can I wear it with?
A. Not only can you wear a belt around your waist to work, but it is a major fashion "do"! Wear your skinny belt over tailored jackets, button down shirts, feminine blouses, shift dresses and fitted sweaters. Of course, the belt also looks great with pencil skirts, full skirts and trousers. Below are a few ideas for you:

End of the road for Ford's BantamComment on this story
While attending a press function for the new Focus this week, a Ford representative admitted to us that the Ford Bantam half-tonner is about to be handed the death knell.
The main reason given is that in line with Ford's latest globalisation strategies, in which maximum efficiency of scale is sought, South Africa's Silverton assembly plant outside Pretoria will become a one-platform factory in which only the new Ranger will be built - for local consumption and wide-scale export.
Ford could not give an exact date for the end of production, but speculated that it would be around September this year - meaning there should still be stock available until at least the end of the year.
The aforementioned globalisation strategy is also expected to spell the end for other unique niche products developed for specific regions, such as Australia's Ford Falcon.
Ford's representative would not divulge any details about how the company plans to plug the void left by the Bantam in the popular half-tonne segment, besides saying that they will bring something into the small commercial market.
Currently there is no half-tonne Ford bakkie available overseas, besides the outdated Ford Courier that's similar to our Bantam in a number of ways, so unless a replacement is created in Brazil, that other vehicle may just be the Ford Transit Connect panel van, which competes with the VW Caddy in Europe.
The death of Bantam spells the end of an era for a vehicle that's almost as South African as pap and wors, considering that the three generations of Bantam that have been on our market since 1983 have all been designed in South Africa, albeit using parts from other passenger vehicles in the Ford line-up.
The first Bantam was based on the front-wheel drive 'Erica' Escort, while its replacement of 1994 fused the front end of a Mazda 323 to the rear end of the original Bantam. The current Bantam, first introduced in 2002, is based on the facelifted Ford Fiesta of 2000.

This is bad news. I hoped to buy a new one in a year or two . I own a 2002 Mazda Rustler 1300 with 230 000 on the clock and still delivers the reliable service that one expects from it. I do not like the GM product because they gives the impression of being too heavy and found that MazdaFord half tonners small , light and tough. Come on Toyota , see the gap in the market !

Anonymous does not know what heshe is talking about. I have a 13xli Bantam, which has done a trouble free 210 000km, travelled mainly long distance often towing up to 800kg trailer plus 500kg on the back. The vehicle has never let me down, never struggled to do what is expected of it and is STILL on the original disc pads. Every service was done according to the book and the most expensive one was for R1100-00 [which included a new tensioner and belt. Most services were in the R450-00 to 650-00 range. fuel consumption varies between 580km [fully laden] to 700k unladen. One of the best vehicles I have owned, in fact I prefer it to my Merc 200. I also have a Nissan 1400, also a very good work-horse but it does not come close in comfort, ride, quality, performance or interior space. I hope that Ford comes out with something equal to this gem of a car. In fact I have NEVER seen one broken down at the side of the road.

AAA Poll Reveals Motorists' Top Transportation Concerns
Auto club urges policymakers to take action
Phoenix. April 25, 2013. According to a recent AAA public opinion poll, the majority of U.S. drivers believe the federal government should invest more money for transportation and road safety. However, they also oppose toll roads and increased gas taxes in order to do so.
As an advocacy organization, AAA frequently conducts surveys to better understand the public's transportation needs and priorities. The survey, known as Mood on the Road (MOTR), asked ten questions regarding a range of topics such as motorist concerns, highway funding preferences and the role of the federal government in transportation. The most recent MOTR report reveals that the majority of Americans – 62 percent – recognize the need for increased transportation funding.
The club's annual Public Affairs survey, conducted late last year, also revealed transportation concerns on a local level. AAA Arizona members ranked road maintenance projects that improve safety through better design and engineering as a top concern. However, more than half of members indicated that they oppose funding increases subsidized by the implementation of toll roads, increased gas tax or charging drivers a fee based on number of miles driven.
"From potholes to vehicle safety, concerns voiced by motorists differ greatly from those expressed by policymakers," said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. "Why are policymakers failing to connect with constituents on issues that matter most?"
AAA's most recent public opinion poll uncovered motorists' top transportation concerns and priorities on a national level:
86 percent – or almost nine in 10 motorists – report having at least one concern about transportation and driving.
AAA position: As an advocate for the motoring public, AAA works closely with policymakers to lobby for safer roads. In recent years, Arizona's road safety has been improved by the expansion of our state's graduated driver's license, Move Over and child passenger safety laws.

68 percent of motorists believe the federal government should make reducing congestion a top transportation priority.
- AAA position: Traffic jams and crowded roads waste time, fuel and about $97.7 billion – or nearly $600 per motorist – annually and are a significant frustration for many drivers, according to AAA's 2011 Crashes vs. Congestion report. AAA believes transportation funding should support increased capacity and expanded roadways.
83 percent of motorists remain concerned about wasteful government spending on transportation.
- AAA position: As Congress debates transportation funding, AAA continues to push for the reduction of wasteful spending. Through its Making America Stronger program, the club works to elevate the importance of a strong transportation network urges Congress and the Administration to find a long-term transportation investment solution.
In addition to these issues, drivers also expressed concerns over several other topics: 34 percent about the reliability and safety of their car, 19 percent about the direct financial cost of driving, 15 percent about the behavior of other drivers, 15 percent about safety/road accidents and 15 percent about gas mileage/fuel efficiency of their vehicle..
"AAA is dedicated to examining all funding options and helping to educate policymakers the concerns of road users," Gorman said. "We will use these results to shape our advocacy efforts as well as outreach to policymakers to reinforce the needs and priorities of the motoring public."
AAA is an advocate for the safety and security of the motoring public.
This report presents the findings of an omnibus telephone survey consisting of 1,008 adults living in the continental United States. The study has a 95 percent margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
Arizona, the Arizona affiliate of AAA, provides automotive, insurance and travel services to more than 825,000 Arizona members. Annually, AAA's Roadside Assistance responds to more than 450,000 calls for help on Arizona roadways. The auto club also provides insurance, travel, auto repair, discounts and financial services to AAA members. Since its founding in 1927, AAA Arizona has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers.

6. Junk Food Movie Night
This is our favorite idea ever (mostly because it involves junk food)! We know that we get lambasted for being nation obsessed with junkfood, but many of us are constantly trying to be healthy.
Well, dash that. Choose one day this weekend, rent a bunch of cheesy films, buy the sort of junk food that would make a teenage girl's sleepover dreams comes true (pizza! chips! licorice!) and just eat and watch bad movies until your heart's content!
If you have kids, they will think it is the most awesome day ever. And you will have tons of fun just being childish and carefree for once.
Tip: Don't be hard on yourself the next day! Eating pizza (every once in a while) is fun!

The organ is a complex wind instrument that employs one or more keyboards to operate valves that admit air into a series of individual pipes, which make the sound. Organs are related to the syrinx, or panpipes, with its row of individual pipes that are blown directly by the musician, and the bagpipe, with its bag storing and providing air to the pipes.
The ancient Greek engineer and theoretician Ctesibius (second-century B.C.) is credited with the invention of the organ, or hydraulis. The hydraulis was so called because the air pressure was controlled by a reservoir of water, and the player would use fingers or fists to depress levers or sliders to uncover the base of the pipe to admit the air. These organs could play long, sustained notes to accompany singers, but as organ music became more complex and polyphonic, keyboards were substituted for the sliders to allow the player greater facility.
Portative Organs
Portative organs were small and could be played on the musician's lap or set on a table. They were popular from about 1100 to 1650, and can be seen in works of art (Gubbio Studiolo, 39.153). They could be played by one person operating a bellows with the left hand and the keyboard with the right, or by two people, one pumping the bellows and the other operating the keyboard (Coronation of the Virgin, 1975.1.38).

Del Potro to undergo surgeryComment on this story
Miami – Juan Martin del Potro will undergo surgery on his troublesome left wrist after a visit to his US doctors in Minnesota, the player announced.
The Argentine world number eight has been bothered by the problem since early January when he first felt pain in an opening match at the Australian Open a few days after winning the Sydney tournament title.
He withdrew from events in Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami.
"After a period of medical treatment which we tried to be competitive on a tennis court, and following new examinations done today, my doctor Richard Berger decided that I should have surgery to fix the problem on my left wrist," Del Potro said on his Facebook page.
"It is not an easy decision, it is not the happiest moment of my career. I experienced a similar situation and I know how hard it is to be out of the tour."
It is unknown how long he will be out of the sport. Del Potro underwent an operation on his right wrist after winning the US Open in 2009 and missed much of the next season. – Sapa-AFP

Dog Holds Owner's Hand for Car Ride: Watch
A dog really is man's best friend.
If this video doesn't confirm that statement, then we don't know what will!
YouTube user and dog owner, Adam Douglas, uploaded an adorable video of his best friend, Tommy Douglas, earlier this week. In the video, Tommy sits in the passenger seat of his owner's car, while Adam drives the vehicle. But get this… Tommy refuses to let Adam drive the car without holding his paw! Can you say, adorable?
Tommy's hand-holding habit has received over 350,000 views in just three days — making the precious puppy a famous YouTube star! Viewers began commenting on the video, complementing the dog's charm, but also questioning Adam's driving safety? Adam responded, humbly:
"Can't believe so many people like the video. I only uploaded [this video] to see what the YouTube video editor was like so didn't expect this at all. I'll be sure to stick up a few more of Tommy's antics – maybe outside of the car though, a lot of you seem to be concerned about my driving, which I can assure you was perfectly safe. Glad you all liked it though."
We can't stop watching this video (and all of its cuteness!). Tommy's adorable habit proves that dogs truly are man's best friends — especially when they're behind the wheel!

Middle East – Online jobs ads decline
Online job adverts fell by -15% on an annual basis in the MENA region, as employers have been posting fewer positions online, according to the Monster Employment Index Middle East.
Saudi Arabia, however, bucked the trend and saw a +3% rise in online recruitment activity thanks to a +34% increase in the Oil & Gas sector, followed by Education with an increase of +13%.
Muhammad Aamer Klasson, recruitment consultant at Saudi Networkers Services (SNS), commented: "The Saudi job market has been very stable because of the stronger economy, even during the global crunch. The dominance of recruitment in the Energy, Oil & Gas, and Education sectors is purely because of the stability of these sectors and the fragility of others, including the IT, Telecom, Construction, Finance, and Fast Moving Consumer Goods sectors. The major strength of Oil & Gas lies in the fact that it is the backbone of the Kingdom's economy and a lifeline for global users."
Klasson added that the rise in Education-related recruitment is purely because of the government's commitment to revolutionize the sector. "We have seen many state-of-the-art institutions, colleges and universities being built all over the Kingdom. These world-class education institutions have resulted in an increase in recruitment activity in Saudi Arabia."
The UAE faced the biggest fall in the region with a -31% drop, according to the index. The customer service sector in the UAE recorded a -46% fall in job opportunities and the production and manufacturing sectors were also prone to deceleration. The index measures online job postings on a monthly basis after monitoring the analysis of a number of job websites and career vacancy postings by employers in the region.
A major downturn was noticed in the Engineering, Retail and Manufacturing sectors, mainly the manufacturing sector with a -34% decrease, while the health care, education, communications and hospitality sectors showed effective progress. Consumer goods, IT, Chemicals and Telecoms sectors came under average rating.
According to The Monster Employment Index Middle East, Egypt ranked highest among all countries in the annual growth of online job postings with a +17% increase from last year.
Sanjay Modi, managing director of monster.com India, Middle East and South East Asia, said: "Owing to the global business scenarios, employers in the Middle East continue to adopt a cautious approach in hiring. This is reflective in the double-digit drop in the Monster Employment Index."
Qatar ranked second with its sustained financial affluence, resulting in a +11% climb in job postings, followed by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Declines were reported in Oman and Kuwait.

They used to get together because of a similarity in their names, but even though the Village of Horseheads' sister city in Japan changed its name, the congenial relationship between the two hasn't changed.

At The Barking Gecko Grill on Merritt Island, the Buffalo Chicken Finger Basket ($6.50) is served with pink coleslaw and fries. Customers can add buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing for an extra $1. / Suzy Fleming Leonard, FLORIDA TODAY
The Barking Gecko Grill
31/2 palms
Where: 773 N. Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island
Call: 321-453-0266
Hours: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday; breakfast only from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday
Also: When available, the Barking Gecko also offers scrapple, pork chops or country-fried bacon for breakfast.
The Barking Gecko Grill is a breakfast and lunch place on Merritt Island that's as cute as its name.
It's roomier than most strip mall diners, and bright, decorative geckos crawl across the walls among beach paintings and other artwork.
It was busy when we arrived for lunch on a recent Monday, but not crowded. There is enough space so the tables don't feel like they're on top of one another.
The lunch menu includes lots of diner standards: burgers, cheese steak, reubens and wraps.
Though it was a warm June day, I was tempted by the soup of the day, beef and barley ($2.75 for a cup, $3.50 for a bowl). I wasn't disappointed with the steaming cup of beefy broth that soon arrived at the table. It was thick and satisfying, and I ate every spoonful, minus a few cooked carrots.
Next were our appetizers. I chose the Chicken Finger Basket ($6.50), served with coleslaw and fries. I opted to add buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing for dipping for an extra $1.
The food was hot and filling. And the chicken fingers were tender and flavorful, the buffalo sauce adding just enough heat to make them interesting.
I initially was taken aback by the coleslaw: It's pink. Not usually a slaw fan, this I had to try. It was really good, with a fresh veggie taste and a little zing of something I couldn't quite pinpoint.
My dining companion was tempted by the Philly Cheese Steak ($6.95, add $1.50 to swap chips for fries).
The sandwich was a little small for her liking, but the Gecko is generous with the shaved rib-eye. And she really liked the fresh onion and green pepper mixed in with the meat and cheese.
After sampling a bite of the cheese steak meat, I'm eager for a return visit so I can order the BBQ Jack Cheese Steak, shaved rib-eye or shaved chicken sopped with cheddar/jack cheese, barbecue sauce and onion rings ($6.95).
The fries were OK, though nothing out of the ordinary. They were hot and crisp and perfectly acceptable.
We noticed some of our fellow diners were enjoying breakfast at lunchtime, and we've heard good things about Barking Gecko breakfasts. The prices certainly are right, starting at $2.95 for one egg served with home fries, hash browns, Gecko spots or grits, plus toast or a biscuit. Two eggs and catfish, with the accompanying sides, goes for $7.25, and omelets range from $3.95 to $6.95.
When it comes to neighborhood diners, the Barking Gecko is a cheerful, friendly place with good food, served fast and at affordable prices.

A trail of footprints left in newly fallen snow is how Lafayette police tracked down the person accused of holding up Tower Liquors and pistol-whipping an employee last week, court documents reveal.
The suspect, 23-year-old Emmanuel A. Winters, was charged Friday in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 with robbery by means of a deadly weapon and battery by means of a deadly weapon.
Winters, who currently is serving probation for a 2012 strangulation conviction out of Tippecanoe Superior Court 5, is being held without bond in Tippecanoe County Jail.
About 10 p.m. March, a black male wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt and holding a handkerchief over his face walked into Tower Liquors at 981 S. Creasy Lane, pointed a handgun at an employee and demanded cash.
An employee heard the exchange and, from the store's cooler, called police.
Police tracked fresh footprints in the snow to 921 Julia Lane, about 400 yards away in the Treece Meadow neighborhood.
Winters and several small children were inside the duplex. He denied being involved in the robbery, but officers found men's boots that matched the footprints in the snow, according to the affidavit.
They also found cash hidden inside a sock in a shoe, which was close to the amount taken from Tower Liquors. A loaded .22-caliber handgun was found in a recycling bin just outside the duplex.

Present life: Weisbach is the founder and chairman of Ha-Lo Industries Inc., a $650-million promotional-products business based in Niles, Ill.
Former life: For 13 years Weisbach coached basketball at a private high school in Chicago. "We were a small school with very short kids -- no one taller than six feet -- and the only way we could be successful was to be better at little things and outexecute our competition," he says.
Lessons learned: In addition to the standard lessons in team building and discipline, Weisbach believes that coaching the underdogs taught him how to succeed when your team is seemingly outmatched. "When you don't have the horsepower but still expect to win, you need to do the little things," he says.
Because Ha-Lo distributes promotional products, its efforts usually only spread the brands and logos of its customers. So in 1983, when Weisbach felt it was time to publicize the Ha-Lo name (but couldn't spend as much as his competitors could), he was forced once again to devise a creative game plan.
As it happens, an idea hit him when he was talking to an old friend who'd become a marketing guy for the NBA's Chicago Bulls. "We were talking about some different projects, and somewhere in there came the concept of putting logos on the players' chairs at basketball games," says Weisbach. "We did it at the Chicago stadium, knowing that TV cameras show the chairs whenever the team is standing during a time-out. A year later Michael Jordan showed up, and suddenly we had some valuable real estate. But at the time, selling space on chairs was a new marketing opportunity for the team. And when you're buying something that's never been bought before, it's pretty cheap."

Crying in my dungeon of pain!
Pondering about evreything
Being the same
Inching myself forth
To see a change!
Just as time standing still
I still feel the same "resentful chill"
I start to hear
A loud vigorous rainfall begin!
It's almost as if,"gods sharing my pain"
And feeling my sadness
I hear and see gods tears
Hit my window pane
I am not alone!

Guide to gay weddings in Gloucestershire
Posted: March 29, 2014|
As the nation celebrates the first gay marriages, the Bishop of Gloucester, Michael Perham, has been praised for his support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The first same-sex weddings have taken place after gay marriage became legal in England and Wales at midnight.
Some 34 gay couples in Gloucestershire have registered their intention to marry, with one of the first expected to be in Cheltenham on Sunday.
It comes just days after Bishop Michael became a Freeman of Gloucester on Thursday night at a ceremony at Gloucester City Council's offices. During the ceremony he was praised for his liberal views and support for the LGBT community.

Gay group say thanks to Gloucester Quakers with special award
Councillor Kate Haigh, leader of the Labour group, said: "He is known for his liberal views on sexuality and has been a strong advocate in allowing women in the church as priests and bishops. He has been a champion on LGBT issues."
He is the first of Gloucester's 40 bishops over 450 years to be awarded the Freedom of the City.
But it is the events of today that will go down in history as politicians and campaigners praised the change in the law that now affords equal marriage rights to all couples.
Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said: "Love and commitment are universal human traits, regardless of sexual orientation or nationality. No ignorance or prejudice can hold back the triumph of love."
It is expected that many more couples will follow suit in preparing for marriage here in Gloucestershire. It is one of the most highly sought after counties when it comes to stunning wedding ceremonies.
Here are some ideas to get the celebrations started if you are planning a ceremony in Gloucestershire:
1. Rococo Garden, Painswick
This 18th century pleasure ground could be the perfect wedding venue. This description from the Roco Garden website says it all: "Situated outside the beautiful Cotswold town of Painswick, and famous for its snowdrop display, the Rococo Garden is a fascinating step back to a flamboyant and sensual period of English Garden Design, when gardens were almost theatrical sets used as a backdrop to decadent garden parties. This gem of a garden, which was originally laid out in the early 18th century, is set in a hidden Cotswold valley with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside."
2. The Westgate bar, Gloucester
This is now Gloucestershire's only gay venue, but you are in for a treat when you get there. It is run by a friendly bunch who will make you feel right at home. The Westgate is situated in the heart of Gloucester and is just a stone's throw from the stunning Gloucester Cathedral.
3. Cripps Barn
Another wedding venue to revel in. Back in the 1990′s Tewkesbury Park sits high above the historic town of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Looking across to the Malvern Hills, with views stretching out across the Cotswolds and the Severn Valley, Tewkesbury Park has an unrivalled position. An extended 19th century manor house, Tewkesbury Park is a classically elegant hotel, and provides the perfect backdrop for those once-in-a-lifetime photographs.
5. David Jenkins Photography
Need a gay-friendly wedding photographer? Cheltenham-based David Jenkins, with experience from a fine art background and a BA Hons in photography, has built up a reputation as a great, natural photographer of people and someone with a passion for what he does. To prove it, his own stunningly atmospheric work is regularly shown in exhibitions across the country and he brings the same stylish flare to weddings. His journalistic approach allows him to blend into the proceedings and photograph the couple, friends and family relaxing and enjoying the day. The packages combine online proofing and the most beautifully sleek, hand-made, reportage albums.

As the November election grows closer and closer, I can't help but to stop and compare our current economic condition to the one that we had four years ago.
As a college student who is about to graduate this May, my outlook on going into the "real world" is a much bleaker one than it was four years ago. With a stack of student loans and an extremely weak economy, May is becoming a dreaded month for myself and many other future college graduates.
With an average of over $25,000 in student loans, 85% of recent college grads will be moving back in with their parents upon graduation. Many of my college-educated friends are unable to find jobs or are forced to take jobs that underpay them to simply bring in some sort of revenue.
This isn't the situation that most college students had in mind for themselves.
Our parents were able to work through college and graduated without the burden of student loans unlike my generation. Student loans, because of skyrocketing tuition, have now grow to over $1 trillion, surpassing credit card debt. But that isn't our only debt- the national debt is now over $16 trillion, not to mention the millions upon millions that local governments have accrued across Texas. My generation will begin our working lives in one of the worst economic situations that this country has ever faced because of elected officials who were elected before half of us were even of legal voting age.
Of my college-educated friends who have found employment, the majority of them still aren't financially self-sufficient. Parents continue to help with phone bills or car payments because they are living beyond their means while working jobs that require little more that a high school diploma. Those who don't have the luxury of their parent's help have outrageous credit card debt and usually cars loans, which they pay the minimum on each month. As for big life events? It's not unheard of for twenty-something's to charge weddings, rings, and extravagant honeymoons to their credit cards or even finance them if that's an option.
While we may or may not have learned much from our college classes, we certainly have picked up the spending habits of this current government administration. Many of us are living beyond our means and that can't end well for anyone.
For the federal government to live within its means certainly requires individuals to follow-suit and live within their means as well. We need to get back to the days of only spending the money we DO have and not simply the money we WANT to have.
Generation Y has been called a generation of debt, but even worse it has become desensitized to the burden that debt truly is.

What Will Vancouver Look Like When the Winter Games Are Gone?
Most Vancouverites remain grumpy about the Winter Olympics, but the Games are likely to improve the city in many ways, from better public transportation options to new public art.
On the eve of the 2010 Winter Olympics, a Vancouver Sun poll revealed that most Vancouver residents remain ambivalent about the Games—nearly 60% of respondents calling them a waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere. That's not exactly surprising, considering the taxpayer bailout that was needed to finish the $1 billion Olympic Village, or the widespread perception that private developers had just a little too much influence over the planning process. Somewhat counter-intuitively, however, the poll also showed that Vancouverites are mostly optimistic about the legacy the Olympics will have on their city.
There's no Bird's Nest or Water Cube here, and Vancouver's budget was just a fraction of Beijing's; these Games will transform the host city in much subtler, though still significant ways.
The closest thing to a Bird's Nest is the $178-million Richmond Oval, to be used for all speed-skating events. It features an undulating roof design (made from a million board feet of reclaimed lumber that had been damaged by pine beetles) which also facilitates rainwater recapture. Outside, Water Sky Garden, a floating public sculpture by artist Janet Echelman, one of dozens of new permanent artworks around the city, visually connects the building with adjacent wetlands. But while the Bird's Nest has sat largely empty since its 2008 debut, the Richmond Oval will become a community recreation center and the centerpiece of a new waterfront neighborhood. Similarly, a curling facility will later be converted into a community center. Indeed, the governing principle in Vancouver seems to have been "leave no trace," to create multi-use facilities that quietly integrate into the fabric of city life once the games are gone.
As the largest city ever to host a Winter Olympics, Vancouver made sustainability the centerpiece of its design strategy, an approach that's evident in the high-density Southeast False Creek Olympic Village complex, where units will be sold as condos after the Games (assuming anyone's buying). Built to a LEED Gold standard, it's won plaudits from environmental advocates for its green roofs, rainwater reuse, and integration with parkland and public transit.
The centerpiece of the city's public transit overhaul is the Canada Line, an airport-to-downtown rapid-rail service, which was completed last summer. And the Olympic Line, a 60-day demonstration project timed to coincide with the festivities, brings the streetcar back to Vancouver along a little over a mile of legacy track. The project, which has already won a Sustainability Star, is meant to demonstrate the viability of a permanent downtown streetcar service.
For those determined to be grumpy about the impact of the Olympics on their city, the brand-new site Shape Vancouver 2050 lets anyone fashion a digital model of the Vancouver of their imagination. And the Winter Games' signature artwork, Rafael Lozano-Hammer's Vectorial Vancouver, also gives regular people a measure of control over the look of Vancouver: Anyone can log in during the month of February to control 20 robotic searchlights arranged around the city's English Bay to create massive light sculptures in the night sky.

Interesting article. As a resident of the home city of the next Summer games (London), I'll be keen to see how Vancouver uses the Olympic facilities after the games are over.
I am very interested in the artwork of Janet Echelman, so thank you for writing about her exciting piece at the Richmond Olympic Oval! I can't wait to see it on TV when they show coverage of the speed-skating events. People can check out her work on her website: www.echelman.com , and her studio is also on Facebook and Twitter, search for studioechelman.
@Dan, what do you think cities should do to win over reluctant residents?
Vectorial Vancouver looks very cool, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I live in Ohio, I would have like the Winter Olympics here. I am tired of snow. The last two Winter Olympic cities had to have snow trucked in. I would like warmer weather and a break from the snow also.
Thanks for your post. Don't you think creative people always face resistance. It comes from within and it comes from without. Frequently those creating ... create resistance. I'm not a design guy but I bet any designer worth their salt faces resistence.
I wrote a blog about facing resistance. It has a tip on how to get the ball rolling. We should focus on what not how. Take a look: http://leadershipfreak.wordpre...
Thanks again

What did I do wrong in this part?-Alright so last Saturdays ride went well but was abit problematic. Ok it started out when I approached Ana and I could tell on her face somethin was up. Well anywas I tacked her up and stuff, but when I tried to get her to stand so I could mount, she kept movin.. and I had the reins in my hand and I kinda nudged back and said "NO! NO! STAND!!" then she stopped, then when I tried again and she did it again so I repeated what I did the first time, and she stood. 3rd time she did it again, well by this point I am thinkin this process is going to continue, so I lead her over to my trainor and ask her to hold her while I mount and I finally got on.
2. Well after I mounted I started to warm Ana up by just kinda walkin and neck reinin her through the cones.. then idk, she just started to speed up and kept tryin to trot when I was only askin for a walk.. So I kept tellin her "easy anna! EASY!!, WALK....! Walk....!" and she kinda slowed but kept tryin to speed up. Well then when I finally asked for a trot ( I could tell she was going to do somethin funny) she then fast trotted and then into a lope (which personally was fun, because I like to lope), which I also did not ask her to do because I did not kiss to her. So I then told her easy, and she kept flippin to a trot, fast trot, lope.. idk what was goin on, so I halted her, and just kept tryin to keep her at only the pace I was askin for. SO I don't know what I was doin wrong.
3. Then when we where gettin ready to go trail ridin, I was goin out of the arena and going to wait for the trainor, I had a horrible time tryin to get Ana to stop.. I would get her to stop then she would take baby steps, lol as if to test me.. but I kept on her and after pullin back, sittin back, and constantly askin for a HALT! She finally stopped.. I am confused there why she wouldn't stop.
Idk from what I was feelin from Ana was alot of ENERGY and restlessness. I think she was really testin me, but I am not for sure.. I just don't know if I did anythin wrong or where I could improve. Ana banana is a well mannered horse, but she was really actin up.
Then at the end of the ride, I put her halter on and tied her up.. and just petted her and gave her some lovin.
The really good thing on that ride was I loped for abit, and man canterin is SO much fun!
I am just stressin, because I don't know what I did wrong or what I could do better.
