Technologists, technicians and technical specialists achieve professional recognition through the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC). The eighth largest self-regulating association in BC, ASTTBC has registered 10,000 Technology Professionals.
Technologists, technicians and technical specialists work in applied science technology fields such as architecture, bio-medical engineering, building, civil, electrical, electronics, environmental, fire protection, house inspection, information, mechanical, onsite wastewater and other related disciplines tied to the built and natural environment.
These Technology Professionals design, construct, inspect, test, maintain and manage most of the world around us including buildings, computers, electrical power, all manner of equipment, roads, environment, and water and wastewater systems. They work in private enterprise, for consulting engineering and technology companies, in all levels of government and as private consultants.
Technology Professionals enjoy stimulating and rewarding careers often involving a combination of inside work including design and project management as well as on-site field work. They are in high demand, even when the economy is slow. Technology Professionals' compensation varies, ranging from salaries of $60,000 to $125,000 and more, plus benefits. There are great opportunities for under-represented groups including women (currently 10% of the technology work force) and First Nations.
British Columbia conferred the status of a self-governing professional association on its technologists and technicians when the legislature passed the ASTT Act in 1985. The Act signaled a fundamental step on the journey from society initially formed in 1958 by a few visionaries to the fully-fledged professional association that is the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC. In 2010, the 25th anniversary of the ASTT Act, ASTTBC registered more than 9,500 technologists, technicians and technical specialists working in the vanguard of technology in all corners of BC. As of the 2013 Annual General Meeting this May, our active membership will number more than 10,000.
Recently ASTTBC contributed to the Untapped Series: Tapping into Talent session, a solution-focused panel session exploring creative recruitment tactics for accessing traditionally untapped talent pools.
ASTTBC was included as a business leader at this Open Door Group sponsored event and asked to share their success and challenges in attracting diverse talent from millennials to Aboriginal workers, from women to new immigrants to the field of technology professionals.
At the session, participants heard an engaging panel of industry professionals speak on a variety of topics, which ranged from how to seek out and recruit diverse talent, to what to look for in a prospective candidate, to candidate engagement best practices.
"All of us have a role to play when it comes to tapping into talent. We know the benefits of a diverse workforce, but more importantly we know we're facing a talent shortage. If we don't think outside the box now, we won't be able to maintain our success." -Panel Moderator, Malinee Narang, Senior Human Resources Partner, SAP Canada
ASTTBC encourages employer members to LEARN MORE about tapping into untapped talent!
While volunteering on an Engineering Ministries International (EMI) project trip to Uganda in February 2011, Patrick Cochrane, AScT had the opportunity to work alongside a Ugandan surveyor. He soon discovered that although Ugandan universities do a great job of teaching the theory of surveying, resources to impart its practical application are not always available. He and a colleague, who had graduated from a four-year geomatics engineering program two years, previously, appreciated the practical skills that Cochrane was able to share with him – skills that empowered him to greater excellence in his career, in serving others, and in providing for his family.
This summer, Patrick Cochrane and his wife will be returning to Uganda for 11 weeks to continue their 5th year as volunteer leaders for Engineering Ministries International's (EMI's) mentoring program. This is a great program that builds up hands on –practical application skillsets of up and coming Ugandan technical professionals, and also builds into their professionalism with encouragement in healthy workplace practices and integrity. They provide an 8 week Survey Practicum for 9 Ugandan Geomatics Engineering students and 2 weeks program for 30 Civil/Environmental Engineering students. This program continues to have a significant effect on participants, their profession, and their communities.

Joan Cochrane also posts details about the program on their BLOG
This program is also an opportunity for design professionals in the developed world to share their hearts, skillsets, and resources to build capacity in our peers in the developing world.
Patrick Cochrane welcomes those who would like to partner with EMI in sponsoring a student to participate in this survey practicum. Being a non-profit, they rely and value partnerships to join with them in their cause to help others help themselves. The program costs close to $10,000 to cover equipment and maintenance, supplies, local team transport, and support for a Ugandan intern; this does not include international transportation nor housing and meals for expat volunteers (They cover their own costs).
"As one who has had the good fortune to visit Africa to support and assist development of technology training and certification programs, I am appreciative of Patrick's work in advancing surveying and mapping training in Uganda," enthused ASTTBC CEO John Leech. "I visited some 6 countries in 7 separate trips; getting on the ground in several countries on many occasions. African countries can benefit from support from Canadians, and what better way to help than to provide needed skills that will lead to a meaningful and rewarding career and provide development services to help grow the economy." Leech concluded his comments by encouraging ASTTBC's members to make a financial donation to help Patrick with his service. "Just as I personally support the ASTTBC Foundation I will cut a cheque to help this ASTTBC member in his support of young people in Uganda."
EMI thanks ASTTBC members for their consideration and encourages techs who are interested in the work of EMI, to contact Patrick Cochrane.

A new pilot program with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC (APEGBC) now enables qualified Engineering Licensees (Eng.L.) to demonstrate they have met the requirements for full professional status to obtain their P.Eng. designation.
Challenging and rigorous, the pilot program is designed to help ensure successful candidates meet the requirements to become a professional engineer.
The Eng.L. allows an individual to practice professional engineering within a clearly defined scope of practice. As professional members of APEGBC, Eng.L.'s take full professional responsibility for work within their defined scope, and sign and seal documents, just as a professional engineer would. The pilot bridging program now provides a way for qualified licensees to achieve full professional licensure through a P.Eng. designation.
"This is an opportunity for our Eng L holders to reach P. Eng. status through a fair, yet rigorous, process that continues to safeguard the public while providing them with a means to further their careers," says Mark Rigolo, P.Eng., APEGBC's Associate Director of Engineering Admissions. "There was a high degree of interest from our licensees as soon as this program was announced, so we're very encouraged by that."
Early comments include, "The bridging program recently announced in an excellent and positive show of leadership by APEGBC. This provides an excellent opportunity for licensees to expand their practice."
In order to participate in this pilot program, candidates must meet specific criteria related to their education, level of experience, and professional competencies within the engineering field. Candidates must also pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineers (PE) exams, complete an engineering project based on their area of practice, prepare a technical project report, and pass an interview by a professional panel about the report.
The report and its defense are judged on the extent to which the candidate demonstrates the clear understanding of engineering principles and key technical aspects relating to the topic assigned that one would expect of a professional engineer.
"Essentially, candidates need to design, conduct, and defend a technical thesis project," says Rigolo, "but rather than their project being based on university course work, it's based on real-world work experience."
Engineering licensees might opt for the bridging program to advance their careers or as a means to open the door to a broader range of projects and responsibilities. Feedback to date
For more information on the Eng.L. designation and the pilot bridging program, please visit the APEGBC website or contact Mark Rigolo, P.Eng., Associate Director, Engineering Admissions, at email@example.com

Surrey, BC – Results released today of a Conference Board of Canada study show that employment growth for Engineering and Applied Science Technologists and Technicians has strongly outpaced overall employment growth for Canada as a whole for the past 15 years.
The report, Assessing the Economic Contribution of Canada's Engineering and Applied Science Technicians and Technologists, also states that the average weekly wage rate for this profession has remained more than 20 per cent above the national average from 1997-98 to 2013-14.
The report confirms that this diverse group of technology professionals contributed $54.7 billion to the national economy in 2011 or 3.3 per cent of GDP. The economic contribution of technology professionals extends into the professional, scientific and technical services sector, manufacturing, construction, public administration, the information, cultural and recreation sector as well as the mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sector.
John Leech, CEO, Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC
"ASTTBC's message about the rewarding, recession-proof careers for engineering and applied science technologists and technicians is proven once again with the Conference Board of Canada study. Technology Professionals are crucial to BC's economic growth, contributing an estimated $6 billion to the provincial economy, and a vital aspect of development, enhancing our innovation agenda and improving productivity."
Pedro Antunes, Deputy Chief Economist, The Conference Board of Canada
"To sustain economic growth in light of slowing labour force growth, Canadian businesses need to focus on improving productivity and competitiveness. This means that demand for this occupational group will continue to grow in coming years."
The report, Assessing the Economic Contribution of Canada's Engineering and Applied Science Technicians and Technologists, is funded and supported by Technology Professionals Canada (TPC).

Great buy for the money and what a time saver!I used to trim bushes by hand for many years. I was a little apprehensive about spending the money on this. Once I did purchase, I wondered what took me so long. This cut my trim time by 75%. Best purchase I have made in a long time. This trimmer meets all of my expectations and more. The dealer was very helpful in helping me make my purchase. They were very knowledgeable and friendly at that.
Trims Though Things that Electric Can'tI was fed up using an electric powered hedge trimmer and always cutting extension cords so I decided to go buy a gas powered hedge trimmer. I went down to my local Stihl dealer and the guy there recommended that I get the HS-46CE, adding also that the pros love them and that they sell like hot-cakes. I took up his offer. When I got home and started it up, I could not believe how much it has. It could easily handle branches up to 1 inch thick and was also extremely light. I had no issues ... read more maneuvering this hedge trimmer at all and finished trimming my hedges in a quarter of the time it would take me using my electric one. The best thing about this hedge trimmer is that well, NO CORDS!.
Outstanding PowerMy son in law told me about Stihl, love my son in law. What an outstanding trimmer. It is easy to hold and control for a 65 yr. old, and the power is unreal. It allows me to trim everything in record time and I do have a lot of bushes and shrubs.

Great trimmerI picked this hedge trimmer up this year to do my bushes. It can cut limbs over 3/4 of an inch in diameter and when you let go of the trigger the blades go immediately to the open position. It looks like it will last me several years.
Great Product for the MoneyThis hedge trimmer is very powerful and cuts through even brush with little or no effort. Has triple interlock system so that you can't start it moving until you are ready. I can work for several hours with no fatigue as the weight and balance is excellent. Also, my local ACE dealer was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Wow! What a wonderful surprise!I've been trimming my hedges by hand for years. This year, I just could not afford the time and effort as I could when younger. So I shopped online and at popular stores for weeks looking at trimmers. I decided to purchase STIHL based on the recommendations and product specs. Well, once home connected it and what would have taken most of the day to trim, took less than an hour. Wow! Wow! Wow! What have I been doing all these years. This trimmer cut through my hedges like a hot knife through ... read more butter. My yard looks amazing! My wife thinks I'm awesome once again. ;) Oh by the way, I felt safe using it as you must use both hands to use it and stops in open position quickly. Thanks STIHL for a fantastic product! Don

Nice little pair of trimmersI am co-owner a small tree service called Barnhart and son tree service and I've had mine for about a year I really like them because they are super lightweight but yet big enough to tackle anything you want to I have done small shrubs and big with these pair of hedge trimmers. I honestly don't like the bigger trimmers because they are just too heavy when you're running them all day long. Again I have tackled small and big bushes with these little guys and they have done perfectly. I do got to ... read more admit I don't get a lot of shrubbery but I get enough that I want a good dependable pair of hedge trimmer's that don't weigh 3000 pounds and right here the HS 45 is the way to go!
Great Hedge TrimmerBought this for my landscaping company used it recently on a larger job trimming hedges my crew loved it had plenty of power to get the job done it's not to heavy but does have some weight to it. The anti vibration system is great can use it for hours. Most likely buying another. I love the quality you get when you buy Stihl. It does take a few pulls to get it started but once you get use to it's not that bad to start.
works like a charmI just bought this 10/16/2015 to clean up some shrubs and bushes around my home. Wanted a Stihl brand hedge trimmer because I have a Stihl brand trimmer and chainsaw. This thing was a workhorse. It was no trouble cranking or cutting through my bushes and shrubs. Im glad i made the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting one for homeowner use.

Apple, Samsung agree to end non-US patent suits
Apple and Samsung have agreed to drop all patent suits against each other outside of the U.S., Bloomberg reports. A joint statement issued by the two companies confirms that ongoing claims in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, and the U.K. are all being abandoned. Although it appears the two companies may finally be scaling down their patent battle, with no cross-licensing agreement reached, it may only be a matter of time before it picks up again. Both companies will continue to pursue the existing cases in the U.S., and it's unlikely those conflicts will end any time soon.

ECB Plan, Economic Data Shoot ETFs To New Highs
The European Central Bank bond-buying plan, an upbeat U.S. employment report and a positive surprise in the services sector sent exchange traded funds sharply higher around the world Thursday.
Global Overview
In afternoon trade, SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) rallied 1.93% to 143.63 — its highest level since May 2008.
PowerShares QQQ (QQQ), tracking the 100 largest nonfinancial stocks on the Nasdaq, surged 2.04% to 69.41 — a 12-year peak.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) climbed 1.77% to 132.68 — just a hair below its 52-week high.
IShares MSCI EAFE Index (EFA), tracking developed foreign markets, jumped 2.46% off its 200-day moving average. It landed just below a 53.02 buy point in a bullish cup-with-handle chart pattern.
IShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) gapped up 2.21%. But it's still trading below its 200-day average. Its 50-day average has crossed below its 200-day line, which is bearish.
"Nothing that happened this morning was really a surprise," said Paul Schatz, president of Heritage Capital in Woodbridge, Conn. "The stock market has been behaving like a coiled snake and today, it struck."
He believes the market has been expecting ECB President Mario Draghi and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to unleash mountains of stimulus.
"The longer this goes on and more 'air' we get under stocks, the bigger the potential disappointment," he said. "But for the short term, it's all systems go."
Debt-Buying Plan
At a press conference in Frankfurt, Germany, ECB President Mario Draghi announced the ECB would buy unlimited amounts of government bonds of indebted countries in an effort to solve the European debt crisis. The ECB would buy short-dated debts with maturities of one to three years to cut borrowing costs for Spain, Italy and others.
Under the plan, dubbed Outright Monetary Transactions (OMTs), countries seeking ECB help must first seek emergency aid from bailout funds of the 17-country European Union and be monitored by the International Monetary Fund. The bond purchases would be "sterilized," meaning they will be done under a complicated scheme that will not increase the money supply. The ECB would publish the size of the purchases on a weekly basis.
"In the short run, we may save Italy and Spain," said John Alan James, professor at Pace University's Lubin School of Business in New York. "But like the Fed printing money and loaning the cash to a federal government up to its neck for $16 trillion, when will the creditors take note and stop buying the ECB bonds?"
Many questions remain unanswered, notes David Owen, chief European financial economist at Jefferies. How will the plan affect inflation? How will it be accepted by Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordic EU members? How will Europe's economy grow out of a recession to pay off its debts? How is the OMT different from the Securities Market Program through which the ECB bought $263 billion in bonds?
"Lost in the events of the day is that the ECB (in its latest quarterly staff projections) revised down the level of euro area gross domestic product at the end of 2013 by almost a full 1%," Owen wrote in a note. "The euro area clearly faces a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, but the ECB stubbornly continues to ignore the elephant in the room."
Critics say the ECB's plan achieves nothing and raises false hopes.
"The only solution is a massive debt restructure in Europe and until that is discussed, the aftermath of this crisis will be severe," says Jeffrey Sica, president and chief investment officer of Sica Wealth Management in Morristown, N.J.
U.S. Economy On Growth Path
The market also cheered economic data releases that showed the U.S. economy is on a modest but positive growth path. Economic activity in the nonmanufacturing business sectors grew in August for the 32nd month straight, according to a survey by the Institute for Supply Management. The nonmanufacturing ISM index registered at 53.7 in August, up 1.1 from a 52.6 reading in July and well above consensus expectations of 52.5. Readings above 50 show expansion. Service companies employ about 90% of the workforce and include everything from retail to health care to financial services.
The August reading suggests U.S gross domestic product is on trend to expand at an annualized rate of just more than 2%, says Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
Jobless claims fell by 12,000 last week to 365,000 — better than expectations of 370,000. HFE noted that the drop in claims could have been because of Hurricane Isaac as people affected by the storm were too preoccupied to file for unemployment. Payroll provider ADP reported businesses added 201,000 jobs last month — the most since March.

As Twitter microblogging captures the mainstream media's imagination, Google Analytics has quietly relaunched Measure Map analytics for bloggers. Email invitations went out this week to alpha users of the blog tracking software.
The bad news for Measure Map bloggers: historical analytics data from the original Measure Map can't be imported into the Google Analytics / Measure Map platform.
We reported on the acquisition of Adaptive Path's Measure Map by Google back in February, 2006. Since then Jeffrey Veen and his team have redesigned Google Analytics and integrated new features such as Website Optimizer with great success.
Sitepoint's Technical Editor Andrew Tetlaw posted a question on April 11, 2008 in a dormant Google Groups forum for Measure Map:
Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling MM has been
Performance is terrible, the browser report still doesn't even
recognize Firefox 2.0….
That post seems to have spurred the Google Analytics team to email all the original users of Measure Map to test the newly rebuilt analytics software for bloggers. You can ask the MM team questions in the resuscitated Measure Maps Google Group.
Andrew also told me that to convert to the new and improved Measure Map you need to sign up for a Google Analytics account and add GA tracking code to your site. For an update, check out Andrew's excellent post today in Sitepoint: Measure Map Redux.
We're not sure whether the original MM "Date Slider" will be reinvented but it was one of the original cool tools for Analytics that had wide appeal (even if it seems clunky by today's Web 2.0 standards).

Friday, 25 July 2014 | MYT 1:51 AM
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Air accident investigators successfully extracted data from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17's two black boxes on Thursday, as work to recover the bodies of the 298 victims and secure the crash site in eastern Ukraine continued.
The Dutch Safety Board, which is coordinating the inquiry into the causes of the disaster, in which 194 Dutch citizens died, said it had found no evidence that the Boeing 777's Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder had been tampered with.
World leaders had expressed concern that the black boxes, which could contain data vital to ascertaining the cause of the crash, may have been manipulated by the Moscow-backed rebels who control the territory in which the aircraft crashed last week and who initially took possession of the recorders.
The Board also gave permission to recovery workers at the crash site to shift some of the scattered debris of the airliner in order to get better access to the remaining bodies and bring them to the Netherlands, where they are being identified.
"(It is) very important that as many victims as possible be brought back to the Netherlands to be identified and handed over to their next-of-kin," the Board said.
Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans spent the day in Kiev, where he was reported by Dutch media to be working on a plan to secure agreement from authorities for a Dutch-led police mission to secure the crash site.
Dutch and Australian military transport planes brought a further 74 coffins to the Netherlands, where they were received in a solemn ceremony at Eindhoven Airport in the south of the country.
A total of 114 coffins has now been brought to a military base near the town of Hilversum, where forensic experts will try and put names to the bodies, a process that could take months.

Hayley Silverman's "Dog Plays," an ongoing series in which a cast of untrained dogs take on the role of characters from a range of pop-culture texts, disrupt the canon of identities traditionally represented in Hollywood as they are re-inhabited by animals. Calling on artifacts ranging from Richard Linklater films, to science-fiction thrillers, to Depression-era musicals that rhapsodize class difference, these performances investigate how our understanding of narrative, authority and identity transforms when we project stories,… [read more »]

A New Plymouth jury has found a former traffic officer guilty on all seven charges of sexually assaulting and grooming three young teenage girls.
Truck driver Garry William Austin, 64, was remanded in custody prior to sentencing on May 6. One of the reasons given for imprisoning him was for his own safety, after he attempted to kill himself when he was first charged two years ago.
Austin had denied three charges of sexual conduct with underage girls and four charges of sexual grooming in that he touched the girls' breasts, and asked to have sex with them.
The three girls, all of whom gave evidence in the week-long trial, were aged between 13 and 15 at the time.
The court heard that Austin bought them presents and took them for driving lessons - one of them at night.
Austin spun tales to gain the sympathy and the trust of the girls and their parents, jurors were told.
He told some he had prostate cancer, told others he knew top police officers in New Plymouth and had been in the army's special forces overseas where he had killed people.
He did serve time in the army as a truck driver and as a traffic officer but, while giving evidence in his own defence, said he had never been in the special forces and nor did he have cancer.
The jury rejected all of his claims, finding him guilty on all counts with unanimous verdicts. They took just over three hours to return their verdict.
Crown solicitor Cherie Clarke called for Austin to be remanded in custody prior to sentencing because of the likelihood he would be sentenced to jail and because of concerns for his personal safety.
Outside court, his lawyer, Barry Henderson, revealed Austin had attempted to kill himself after the charges were first laid.
There were concerns he may again attempt to suicide following the guilty verdicts.
Earlier in court Mr Henderson asked the judge to give his client bail on humanitarian grounds. Mr Henderson disagreed that jail was inevitable.
Judge Allan Roberts said prison was almost a certainty and he was not prepared to give him bail.
The judge also cited issues of Austin's personal safety.
Judge Roberts postponed convicting Austin before sentencing.
He noted that the charges qualified as strike offences.
Outside court, the officer in charge of the case, Detective Nicky Spicer, of the New Plymouth CIB, said the verdicts were a good result for the young victims who were believed by the jury.
The girls and their families had been waiting for the trial since August 2012.
"Justice has finally been done," Ms Spicer said.

Forearm skin collagen, dermal thickness and collagen density were measured in a large number of normal subjects as a standard reference for future studies. Skin collagen decreased with age and was less in the females at all ages. There is a direct relationship between skin collagen and dermal thickness but variations in collagen density in disease limit the use of dermal thickness as a guide to changes in its collagen content.

More than Just Care Packages for the Holidays
More than Just Care Packages for the Holidays
By Alison Buckholtz
Many of us want to reach out and support our troops during the holidays. The days of addressing mail to "Any Service Member" are long gone, yet there are many ways to lend a hand to our American troops deployed overseas, as well as their families on the home front.
For example, you can send funds to provide service members with care packages, foster a military member's pet, donate a Christmas tree to a platoon, or volunteer to care for veterans in your area. There are so many organizations that exist to do well by the troops that sometimes it's hard to sort them out. Here, we've selected 11 of the most well known and reputable ways to offer help.

Israel is no different to Nazi Germany in it's basic ideology that Jews are the chosen people and the rest of the world are untermensch. If you don't agree with me I suggest that you go and see a Psychiatrist. Afterall it is all about lebensraum to the East isn't it? Won't get published but imagine his face if it did lol

Riders can use real-time tracking to find Southeast Missouri State University shuttles
Catching the shuttle at Southeast Missouri State University is down to a science.
On Monday, the university's transit operations rolled out real-time shuttle tracking, allowing riders to track the location of Southeast's shuttles through GPS technology either from a cell phone or computer.
Brian Holdman, technology specialist in Southeast's Office of Marketing and University Relations, said the tracking system will give students a better idea of the true arrival time of shuttles.
"If the weather is bad, this is most advantageous," he said. "Or in the morning if a student is running late, they know they're not going to miss a shuttle."
The tracking service uses GPS units on each shuttle. Location data is tracked and updated every 10 seconds and charted on a map. Shuttle locations are downloaded to a database and found at shuttletrack.semo.edu. Trackers will see icons of little white buses pinpointed on the campus' various routes.
The information also can be accessed via smart phones. Riders connect to the university's mobile application at m.semo.edu and click on the "shuttle track" icon. The tracker includes a list of routes showing the next stop, estimated times and all the stops the shuttle is making on the routes.
Mike Hopen, the university's transit operations supervisor, expects the tracking service will help build ridership. The campus' eight shuttles carried about 150,000 riders last year, about a 15 percent increase from the previous year, Hopen said.
"I know it has only been in operation for four days, but I've heard nothing but positive comments about it," Hopen said. "I hear students saying things like, 'I wish we would have had this sooner. I wish we had it when I was a freshman or a sophomore.'"

Victim not cooperating with Dallas police in alleged sexual assault that began at gay bar
Last week I wrote about an alleged sexual assault involving a man who reported to police that he was sexually assaulted by two men after they placed a drug in his drink at Station 4. I followed up with Dallas police yesterday to find out whether any additional information was available. Here's what Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse told me:
"Detectives have tried three times to get ahold of victim. They have been unsuccessful and he is not returning calls. So there is nothing new to report."
As is standard in sexual assault cases, police are not releasing the alleged victim's name, so we have no way of trying to contact him. Regardless of whether this person's account is true, it raises an interesting question: How common is "date rape" in the gay community?
Get fashionably passionate for Lone Star Ride
Lone Star Ride Fighting AIDS celebrates its 10th aniversary this year, and LSR organizers want a bigger, better event than ever before. That means more riders, more volunteers and more money for the three LSR beneficiaries — Resource Center Dallas, AIDS Outreach Center of Tarrant County and AIDS Services of Dallas.
But cycling can be expensive; the kind of bike you need to ride 165 miles in two days doesn't come cheap. And that's where the Lone Star Locker comes in. Folks who want to ride but can't afford to go get a road bike — or who don't want to drop that kind of cash until they are sure they're going to stick with cycling — can get a loaner bike from Lone Star Locker. And if they raise at least $2,000 in donations for LSR, they can keep the bike.
But LSR needs bikes for Lone Star Locker. And you can help, even if you don't have a road bike to donate. All you have to do is head to head over to the Rose Room at Station 4 this Friday night, April 16, for the Passion 4 Fashion Show benefitting Lone Star Locker's loaner bike program.
The event is sponsored by Caven Enterprises Inc., Dallas Voice, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Linicomn Agency, Belveder Vodka, Spotlight Catering, Ambient Stage-Lighting, Inc., 77 N Motion, Kirk Watson & Neil Patel and The UPS Store at Lemmon and the Tollway in Highland Park.
Tickets range from $25 to $75. And you can go to LoneStarRide.org today to get more info and purchase your tickets.
False alarm: Grindr isn't going anywhere
Several blogs — including Queerty and Joe.My.God. — are reporting that Apple has pulled Grindr from the iTunes Store. According to Wikipedia, Grindr was removed from the app store last night at midnight. It's unclear whether the removal is related to Apple's recent purge of "adult" apps, and some are already alleging homophobia. If you already have Grindr on your phone, it's still reportedly working — you just can't download it. This development comes as Grindr was preparing to celebrate its first anniversary, with parties around the globe between March 23 and 29. One of those parties was set for Station 4 on Friday night.
UPDATE: Looks like this is a false alarm. Queerty is now reporting that the founder of the Grindr app, Joel Simkhai, said it will be available again soon. And sure enough, it's back in the app store as of 12:48 p.m. Dallas time. Publicity stunt?
Station 4 to feature special performance by aerialist Vincent Packard Saturday
I just read that Station 4 will be bringing in aerial artist, Vincent Packard for a special show this Saturday. He is part of the Los Angeles outfit,Vertigo Posse. They look like the entire aerial acrobat section of Cirque du Soleil and by the looks of their videos, astounding to watch. Packard goes solo in this video which should preview what he'll be doing at S4 this weekend.
But I wonder, can people dance under him while performing? C'mon, that would be cool.
Deborah Cox at S4 Saturday night
R&B/dance diva Deborah Cox turned it on Saturday during Caven's Carnivale 5 celebration. Thanks to YouTube poster ilovedancemusik for capturing some great video of the gig. He has three others from the show.
Here, Richard Curtin introduces Cox opening with the Phil Collins hit "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven." By the looks of it, she played that show like she was at Nokia. We like that kind of fierceness.
No cover for Facebook fans of S4 tonight
The peeps at Station 4 sent a Facebook message this morn to members of its group announcing tonight as Facebook Free Friday . That means, members 21 and up will get in free with a password. And if there's no cover, that means perhaps an extra drink for the night. Better yet, it relieves the wallet a bit from all that holiday spending.
So when you head in tonight, just utter the words "Dance. Floor" and you are in. No word if this is an ongoing thing but they do say "phrase for this week." Guess you'll have to find out by being a group member.
Meet the Perry Twins tonight at JR.'s
This week, we featured the L.A. based Perry Twins DJ team. They'll be spinning tonight at Station 4 but their big event is tomorrow's "Heat of the Night" celebrating the Legal Hospice of Texas' 20th anniversary. That's already a busy weekend but I just heard they have one quick gig before all that. Doug and Derek Perry will be at JR.'s Bar & Grill tonight for a meet and greet from 6–8 p.m.
This is their first time playing in Big D. Show them a warm Dallas welcome so they'll want to come back and spin again.

Attention Investors: Nordstrom's (JWN) stock at a new low
Last week Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:JWN) slashed its forecast for Q3 profit, citing disappointing sales and bulging inventory. The stock fell hard and is now at a new 52-week low, trading around $38 a share from a 52-week high of $59.70. Wall Street is overreacting, this is Nordstrom, not the Gap (GPS) or Coldwater Creek (CWTR) and investors waiting to jump in, now is the time.
Nordstrom plans to earn 50 to 53 cents a share for Q3, down from their previous projection for earnings of 61 to 64 cents. The knife in the back for Nordstrom is their reduced forecast for third-quarter comparable sales to a gain only 2 to 4%. The Seattle based retailer's previous forecast was for an increase of 4 to 5%. The sky is not falling America, this is Nordstrom, the Cadillac of the Apparel Industry.
I don't care if Nordstrom's comparable-store sales only went up 3.2% in the five weeks that ended Oct. 6, less than the 4.9% analysts estimated. Big Deal! Nordstrom said it was taking "additional markdowns." The company had increased inventories as part of its strategy to offer more designer goods at about a quarter of its 100 stores.
Nordstrom president Blake Nordstrom said, "We are taking immediate action to bring inventory levels in line, which will negatively impact merchandise margins for the remainder of the year." The guy is all over it and when Q3 earnings are released on Nov. 19th, I'm sure Nordstrom's stock will do just fine.
On Oct 12th, Lehman Brothers reduced Nordstrom's target price from $58 to $55. Wow, $3, better sell all shares now. Then on Oct 18th Goldman Sachs downgraded shares of Nordstrom Inc. to "Neutral" from "Conviction List Buy," and said unseasonably warm weather and a build up of inventory have changed the department store operator's near-term prospects. They went on to say "we believe a non-accommodating macro backdrop and continued warm weather could create further downside over the next several quarters as executives play catch-up."
So everyone is against Nordstrom and that's great for investors that haven't made a position yet in this stock, so my vote is to let shares fall even lower. In the past year after climbing to $59 the stock has been on a bumpy ride, and over the past 52-week the stock is down 20% with the biggest downfall occurring in the last two weeks:
Nordstrom's P/E is at 14.2, compare that to Macy's (M) 18.73, The Gap's (GPS) 19.42, Abercrombie & Fitch's (ANF) 15.96 and you can start to appreciate the situation at hand.

Canvas Printiing - What DPI to aim for?
I am printing a couple of photos on Canvas and want to know what you think is a safe DPI to aim at.
I have been looking around and because of the texture of canvas I think around 130-150dpi should be sufficient.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tim.

Jiangmen - 3rd Vessel for Pacific Crest
Pacific Crest, the vessel owning subsidiary of Singapore based Pacific Radiance, will soon take delivery of the third in a series of 53-meter towing and supply vessels from Jiangmen Shipyard on the Pearl River in Guangdong Province China.
Founded in 1954 the shipyard was purchased by the private Guangdong TianJian Group in 1997. Enjoying an extensive area with covered build locations including covered graving docks the yard is capable of building an impressive array of vessels at once.
In late October 2008 the yard had a ship-docking tug, two or three 40-meter ocean towing vessels, a Robert Allan-designed escort vessel and a small tanker in addition to the 53-meter towing supply vessel nearing completion for Pacific Crest.
Fitting out alongside at the shipyard, the orange-hulled vessel displayed a 3x1.2-meter stern roller, deck mounted sharks jaws, a bow thruster and a substantial double drum waterfall-towing winch from ME Winch of Singapore.
A pair of Cummins KTA50 main engines powers each of the three vessels. Each of the 16-cyliner 50-liter engines generates 1600 horsepower at 1800 RPM and turns into Reintjes marine gears.
The first two vessels, Crest Radiant 1 and 2, will be followed into service by the Crest Radiant 3, due to undergo sea trials in November.
