SUCHITOTO, El Salvador- I cannot say that I have ever wondered about where my family's old cars went after junking them in the USA. More than likely, they remained as junk and were picked clean of parts like a corpse before a gang of vultures. Though there is a reasonable chance that the cars you think are near death in the USA actually end up on the streets of another country — fixed up, moving, reborn. The motorways of El Salvador are full of vehicles that were driven to ruin in the USA, peddled away for a penance, and then shipped south to be restored and resold.
The resale value for old automobiles in El Salvador is significantly higher than in the USA, so many old junkers are shipped here and sold for a profit. The evidence for this is plentiful: this country is full of cars and trucks that look like they should be in a junk yard, but they are flying at you in the streets at 60 MPH.
Standing on the highway in El Salvador is like watching a mob of zombies descend upon a village — the cars are so old and beat up that they look as if they should not be running anymore, let alone being driven on a road. El Salvador is where automobiles come for a shot at a new life — when they die an honest death in the USA they are sometimes resurrected here.

October 14, 2014
The following letter from Mayor Derek Corrigan was written on October 10 and hand-delivered to residents in the Westridge and Forest Grove neighbourhoods of Burnaby on October 13. The letter responds to the "Dear Neighbour" letter sent to area residents in September by Kinder Morgan.
Dear Neighbour (and we mean it!),
Recently, many Burnaby residents received a "Dear Neighbour" letter from Kinder Morgan, regarding elements of the company's proposal to build a pipeline, storage tanks and docks in Burnaby for the transport and storage of unrefined bitumen oil. This oil is all for shipment to offshore markets. None is for use in Burnaby, British Columbia or Canada.
The City of Burnaby is officially opposed to this proposal because of the damage it would do to our city –during and after construction – and because of the long-term safety risks it poses to residents and the environment. In their "Dear Neighbour" letter, Kinder Morgan says that if the City of Burnaby continues to stop them from cutting down more trees in the City's Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, the company may "have to pursue our alternate route through city streets in the Westridge neighbourhood."
The fact is that Kinder Morgan doesn't "have to" pursue any route through our city. They are choosing to do so. Burnaby opposes this project, regardless of where Kinder Morgan proposes to put the pipeline. It is not a facility we want. We will continue to work with our citizens to stop this pipeline, its storage tanks and its supertanker transport docks from coming to Burnaby.
In response to the letter, I would like to clarify a number of facts regarding the Kinder Morgan proposal and its potential impacts on our city.
Kinder Morgan describes their pipeline as a twinning.
In fact, in Burnaby 90% of the proposed line would follow a completely new route. It would carry unrefined oil products, not the refined (and less toxic) products carried in the existing line. It would result in a tripling of the capacity of oil stored on Burnaby Mountain and seven times the number of tankers carrying the oil (up to 580,000 barrels in each tanker) through Burrard inlet. The 890,000 barrels-per-day of oil it would carry would be for export, not for use anywhere in Canada. In no way would this pipeline resemble the existing line.
Kinder Morgan says they are your neighbour
Kinder Morgan is a Houston-based, multinational energy company. Its founder, chair and CEO – former Enron executive Richard Kinder, one of the richest men in America – is not our neighbour. He left Enron to start his investment company. His energy operations began with the purchase of Enron Liquids Pipeline.
Kinder Morgan says Trans Mountain has "been operating safely in your community since 1953."
They have not! Kinder Morgan didn't purchase the Trans Mountain pipeline until 2005. Since then, they have had a number of large spills, one of the most significant of which was in 2007 in Burnaby and saw a neighbourhood drenched in 1,572 barrels of crude oil, some of which flowed all the way to Burrard Inlet. Emergency evacuation of 250 Burnaby residents was required and 50 residential properties were affected. The spill entered the Burrard Inlet through a storm sewer and affected 1,200 metres of shoreline, impacting ecosystems and wildlife. The Transportation Safety Board ruled that the spill was the fault of Kinder Morgan and two contracting companies.
Kinder Morgan says this pipeline would provide economic benefits for Burnaby.
It would not. Though short-term jobs would be created in pipeline construction, there is no guarantee that any of these jobs would be for local workers. The number of long-term jobs that would be created is insignificant. Kinder Morgan president, Ian Anderson, has admitted this fact.
The economic value of any taxes Kinder Morgan would pay would not offset the negative economic impacts to other businesses and the significant permanent limitations the pipeline right-of-way would put on land-use opportunities.
Burnaby has long-term plans – developed with our citizens – for town centre, transportation, residential and recreational developments. All would be severely negatively impacted by the pipeline, tank farm and docks.
Given the planned and potential economic development opportunities that would be eliminated, the taxes Kinder Morgan would pay would not compensate for the permanent damage the project would cause – even without the devastating economic, social and environmental impacts of an oil spill or tank farm fire.
Kinder Morgan told the National Energy Board that Burnaby's request to hold a hearing locally (not in Calgary), to enable Burnaby citizens and businesses to participate, is "just another attempt by Burnaby to delay and obstruct."
This is astonishing. Burnaby believes it is critical to ensure citizens can participate in the National Energy Board review process. We therefore requested that the National Energy Board hold a hearing in Burnaby or Vancouver. Kinder Morgan called our request "an attempt to delay and obstruct."
The hearing then took place on October 9 in Calgary to determine whether or not Kinder Morgan can continue to break Burnaby's bylaws and cut down trees in our Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area to enable Kinder Morgan to create a helicopter staging area and to drill bore holes for a project that has not been subject to public hearings and has not been deemed by any local, regional, provincial or federal government in Canada to be in the public interest.
Kinder Morgan says the route that would include tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain is now their preferred route.
Kinder Morgan has changed their stated route preference several times. After the change to Burnaby Mountain, the National Energy Board postponed the project hearings by seven months, as citizens who would be directly affected because of the change had been given no opportunity to participate in the hearings.
We believe that Kinder Morgan's repeated preferred route changes are designed to divide our community and to enable them to say they are responding to public input. We expect their route preferences to continue to change.
Kinder Morgan says they are "committed" to "fully restore" any areas they disturb.
This is not possible. The damage done as a result of Kinder Morgan's initial survey work has had far-reaching damaging effects on the Mountain. Further drilling and tunnelling work would cause much greater irreparable damage to the conservation area. Certified arborists described the damage from Kinder Morgan's initial survey, saying: "The impact of this action will be felt for many years to come and will extend much further than the direct area of intrusion…The removal of 6 mature live alders and 7 wildlife trees has had an immediate visual and ecological impact on the Site 1 K.M.C. Drilling Location. There will also be long term effects of such a high level of disturbance that will be felt in the immediate area and surrounding areas downhill.
"None of the trees removed, live or wildlife, posed any kind of risk or hazard to the public. There were no trails or structures which would have been impacted by the standing wildlife trees."
Even though Kinder Morgan's proposal is not approved and has not been deemed by any government to be in the public interest, to fund the current application Kinder Morgan received National Energy Board approval in 2011 to charge a $1.45/barrel surcharge to shippers on oil shipped through their existing pipeline.
When the oil is refined and shipped back to Canada to be sold, the price at our local gas pumps will reflect the cost of this federal-government approved Kinder Morgan subsidy. It's estimated that this will result in an increase in our local gas prices of approximately one cent per litre.
Kinder Morgan Canada President Ian Anderson later explained the deal to his investors by stating that if "the project doesn't succeed or we don't get the permits, all the development costs are being covered by the firm service fees that we are collecting so there is no risk there to us."
Who covers the cost? Consumers, not Kinder Morgan or its investors.
Kinder Morgan says, "We have had close to 150 early interactions with the City of Burnaby, but have yet to receive constructive feedback that would enable us to refine our routing based on the City's preferences."
The City of Burnaby has no interest in refining routing. We have made it clear to Kinder Morgan that no route through our city is acceptable.
When we did attempt to offer Kinder Morgan feedback about the project, asking 1,700 questions through the regulatory review process to attempt to clarify what they are proposing to do, where they are proposing to do it and the nature of the risks, the company chose not to answer 62% of our questions and gave partial answers to 14%. Kinder Morgan said most of the City of Burnaby's questions were not relevant.
In fact, the questions we asked are fundamental to attempting to ensure the safety of our citizens and our community. For example, we asked for Kinder Morgan's Emergency Response Plan for the Burnaby Terminal. In response, Kinder Morgan told us that the plan is confidential and that they won't provide the plan unless stipulated conditions are met, including Burnaby being willing to respond to any kind of event associated with the Trans Mountain Pipeline system within our jurisdiction – and signing a confidentiality agreement! In other words, we have to accept the project in our community before Kinder Morgan will share with us critical information that would allow us to assess its safety. That's absurd – and Kinder Morgan has since been ordered by the National Energy Board to provide the plan. Hundreds of other questions critical to Burnaby citizens, however, remain unanswered by Kinder Morgan.
One interaction Kinder Morgan had with a citizen was to alert the RCMP to the fact that she had been taking photos of the Burnaby Mountain tank farm. Police responded by going to the home of this citizen, saying they believed she may have posed a security threat.
The RCMP said this action was taken because the Burnaby Mountain tank farm is a potential terrorist target. If this is the case, why is Kinder Morgan proposing to triple the size of this terrorist target in a densely populated urban area on a hill above homes, businesses and critical waterways?
Kinder Morgan says they are looking to reinforce their "rights" to undertake the destructive work they call "studies" in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
We are looking to enforce the bylaws that clearly prohibit these destructive "studies" – to protect the conservation area our citizens have told us they want to protect.
With this project proposal, Kinder Morgan is demanding that Burnaby – and Metro Vancouver – accept most of the impacts and risks. Kinder Morgan even refused to confirm that it would guarantee supply from its proposed line for Burnaby's Chevron refinery. Their focus is on maximizing profits, regardless of the many significant costs and damage to our community.
Our concerns are compounded by the fact that the National Energy Board has said that it will not be hearing evidence, and that Burnaby and other intervenors will not have opportunities in the NEB hearing to question Kinder Morgan. Their draft conditions suggest that Kinder Morgan will receive approval for its project, before having to address any of the fire, safety and routing issues that will be raised by Burnaby and other intervenors in the pre-approval hearing process.
I am very pleased that at September's Union of British Columbia Municipalities meeting that brings together Mayors and Councils from throughout the province, delegates passed three emergency resolutions regarding their concerns about Kinder Morgan's proposal – one demanding restoration of a full National Energy Board public hearing process for this project; one to compel Trans Mountain and all other pipeline operators shipping diluted bitumen, to provide site specific consequence analyses and response plans and tactics for submerged and sunken oil to be subject to public review and approval by impacted communities; and one asking the Province of British Columbia to undertake its own Environmental Assessment process for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which should include sufficient opportunity for meaningful participation by all interested British Columbians.
The delegates' support for these emergency resolutions demonstrates clearly that concerns about Kinder Morgan's proposal are not limited to just a few cities. They are shared by communities throughout the province. Their votes mark an important milestone in ensuring our shared, wide-ranging concerns about both the deeply flawed hearing process and the proposal itself are heard and acknowledged by the federal government and the National Energy Board.
The City of Burnaby will continue to represent its citizens' interests as we move through this process. We look forward to continuing to hear from you directly, via a dedicated Burnaby telephone line at 604-297-4400, or email to email@example.com.

Reviews for Mocha Yule Log
Average Rating
"I simply cannot say enough about how stunning, achievable and wonderfully delicious this recipe was. Chocolatey, light and tender cake swaddled in layers of mocha frosting with that perfect balance of fudgey-ness, smoothness and firmness -- it won over us all, even those who aren't that enthused over coffee. This recipe captivated us with its presentation - which was so easy assemble - and the overwhelming perfection of flavor and texture."
"I did it! I'm so proud of myself! I made this for Christmas, and I live at 4,500 feet and it still worked. It was spongy creamy yummness. StefaniBuhajla, your daughter was my inspiration. And, I will definitely be making this again next year!"
"My 17 year old daughter wanted to try her hand at a Yule log for our family celebration. It was a challenge for someone new to baking but, she followed the recipe exactly and it was fantastic! I can't tell you how much everyone raved about it. I wish we could post pictures here because it wasn't just scrumptious, it was gorgeous! I have the picture of my daughter's creation using this recipe over at pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/47921183511113452/"
"I have never rated a recipe before, but I made an account just to do that. It is so good! It came out picture perfect and it was delicious. There is literally nothing I would change. I made meringue cookie mushrooms to go on top to make it look cute!"
"EXCELLENT!!!!!! My Belgian husband and I loved this and I just added this to my recipe box. Definitely my "go to" cake recipe for Xmas. Thank you"
"I made this Yule log twice, the first time was to make sure it turned out/tasted good. It did and was. So the second time I made this was for Thanksgiving dessert. I doubled the frosting the first time because I didn't want to run out-that was not needed, because I had plenty of frosting. The second time I made it-I doubled the mocha filling-which is the best part! The log was a bit flatter-due to the extra filling, but once iced it held together well! This dessert is pretty and tastes delish, everyone who tried it really enjoyed it too!"
"This was a great recipe, got rave reviews from everyone."
"this will be on my table every Christmas. Everyone enjoyed it."
"followed this recipe and it is the best one yet very easy and everyone loves it"
"This recipe is a bit of work but everyone loves it and asks for it on holidays"

"Staff were very nice but very busy"
About: Gilbert Bain Hospital / Ward 1 (surgical) Gilbert Bain Hospital Ward 1 (surgical) Lerwick ZE1 0TB
Posted by Centre348 (as ),
Admission was haphazard although the staff were very nice but very busy. I saw a consultant mr Macfarlane, when I came to the ward but I needed more time to ask questions. The staff on ward were friendly and helpful but once again very busy.
I would have liked more information about what I can or shouldn't do once home for the first few days, and information regarding my follow up appointment is rather vague with no number to ring if I need assurance as I live alone.
I would like to have been offered more information on diet or an appointment with a dietician.
Over all although the staff are very busy they were plesent and helpful.

Trance Nation Presents Mr Sam
What: French electronic music maestro, Mr Sam hits the decks at MOS-EUPHORIA with the globally renowned Opus compilation series – Opus Tertio! A fine artistic craftsman and multitalented producer in his own right, Mr Sam sets music trends without following current musical path.
Who: Hailing all the way from France, Mr Sam – known at Tourcoing City Hall as Samuel Paquet – began showcasing the art of DJ-ing in many French and Belgian clubs and various events in 1995. His DJ-ing career shot out of the roof of the club scene after he signed a lucrative and solid deal with Tiësto's Black Hole Recordings which resulted in an unstoppable string of releases such as Lyteo (2005), Insight (2006), Split (2007) and Cygnes (2008), all to be considered the absolute highlights in his ever expanding discography.
Since then, he has been invited to DJ in Europe's finest venues, festivals and events like Mysteryland, Tomorrowland, Matrixx, Powerzone as well as clubs across East Asia and the Middle East.
In 2007, many of Mr Sam's DJ sets were digitally translated onto silver discs, thus creating the renowned "Opus" compilation. Following suit was "Opus Secundo" in 2008; and "Opus Tertio" in late 2009; a 2-disc blue print featuring what is expected when Mr Sam is rocking the crowd in any parties or clubs around the world.
With a tight DJ schedule and a string of releases ready to be unleashed, Mr Sam is indeed on his way to the upper regions of his beloved scene.
When: Friday, 23 July 2010, from 9.30pm till 3.00am

Why does a computer monitor flicker when i video tape it with a movie camera? Is it the same reason why when i wave my pen in front of a monitor fast it gives a wierd effect like there are bunch of flashing pens? thanks!
- Owen (age 16)
Hi Owen,
You've just touched on the fascinating subject of sampling rates and aliasing. The computer monitor flicker you observe when videotaping it comes from the fact that the refresh rates on your computer monitor (there are many different ones for different computers) is different from that of your video camera. Video (NTSC TV, used in America) updates the whole frame every 1/30th of a second; all the even scan lines on a TV screen are drawn in 1/60th of a second, and then your TV (and video camera) go back and fill in the odd ones in the next 1/60th of a second. If your computer monitor updates, say, the whole screen one line at a time once every 1/70th of a second, then the video camera when it scans its lines will only pick up those lines on the computer screen that are updating while it is "looking" there. The other bits of the screen will be darker. Depending on how far mismatched the refresh rates of the video camera and computer monitor are, the light and dark areas of the screen can appear to crawl slowly up or down the screen, or they may appear to flash rapidly. Movie cameras take one frame every 1/24th of a second and are therefore never synchronized with televisions or computer monitors. Special televisions and monitors are needed if they are to be used on movie sets, so as not to look very strange.
Incidentally, the TV refresh rate was chosen to match the frequency of electrical power out of the wall socket. If some flaky component in the TV, like a power supply, oscillates with the power frequency, and it is not exactly the same as the picture refresh frequency, you may see a slow wiggle of the picture on the screen with a frequency that is the difference between the power lines frequency and the refresh rate frequency. If it is a slow wiggle, it can really give the viewers a headache! Computer monitors seem to be better manufactured and do not require synchronization with the input power.
And yes, the multitude of shadows of your pen are caused by the refreshing of the computer screen -- it only makes a shadow when the screen is being updated. The reason your screen looks on "all the time" to you when in fact it is really flickering very rapidly is due to physio-psychological effect called "persistence of vision" in which an image is stored in the visual cortex long enough so that if it is removed ever so briefly and then brought back, the brain thinks the same object has been there all the time ("interpolation between frames"). If it is too slow you will notice flickering. 24 frames/second is near the lower edge of what is comfortably viewable without noticeable flicker (which is why the movies are at that rate). The pen shadow you describe does not fall in that category because it moves rapidly -- each update of the screen casts a new shadow of your pen in a different place. Your eyes and brain then interpolate the "fixed" computer screen with several shadows of the pen that are cast within the amount of time your brain takes to process an image.
Physio-psychology experiment: How many pen-shadows can you make simultaneously visible if you shake your pen rapidly in front of your computer screen? (this tells how long it takes your eyes and brain to acquire and process an image).
Another interesting thing to do is to look at your TV screen while "blowing a raspberry" (i.e. sticking your tongue out, closing your lips over it, and blowing hard to make a flatulent sound). Since blowing the raspberry causes your head to vibrate at a frequency that is not too different from the refresh frequency of the TV, and you will see some interesting results.

The Wild Boar is the machine driven by the ruthless gang leader: Michael Chain. Nearly matching this individual's personality seamlessly, Chain made sure that this machine was highly fortified with countless layers of durable steel plating and one of the strongest engines seen on the F-Zero circuit so far. Needless to say, this machine doesn't do much in terms of environmental friendliness, but this wasn't the leader of the Bloody Chain's original ambition as much as running every vulnerable machine off of the track was! To further his relatively intimidating showboating, Chain had four airfoil extensions built along the Wild Boar's spine which supposedly increases the overall noise it's engine gives off ten-fold.

Cross Country Opens with J.K. Gold Classic
Cross Country Opens with J.K. Gold Classic
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State's men's and women's cross country teams will open the 2009 season at the 60th Annual J.K. Gold Classic on Saturday in Augusta, Kan. The competition is hosted by Wichita State and will be run at the R.A.F.T. Golf Course. The starting gun will go off for the women's 4K race at 9 a.m., followed by the men's 6K race at 9:45 a.m.
Head coach Michael Smith hopes to use the Classic as a competition to get the runners back into the groove of racing after a long off-season.
"This first meet is just a rust breaker. It is not the championship distance. It is a shorter race and our purpose is just to get started," said Smith. "We chose something that is close so we do not have to travel very far. And the course is forgiving. Where we are going in Wichita is not very hilly. We chose it because we can evaluate our personnel and we are not too beat up at the end."
With five returning runners scheduled to run, the women look to start off the season strong with veteran leadership and experience. Junior Sydney Messick did not compete in this meet last year, but after a strong finish in the late half of last season, she hopes to continue with the same success. Senior Megan-Anne Perrin and sophomore Emily Morris, the only returning runners who raced in this meet in 2008, are also scheduled to run for the Wildcats at the Classic. Rounding out the women's roster for Saturday's meet will be junior Alyssa Bellinder, sophomore Boglarka Bozzay, freshman Martina Tresch and freshman Laura Lee Baird. Senior leader Beverly Ramos, who finished the NCAA meet 55th out of 252 Division I runners last season, will not compete but should be ready for the next meet in Missouri.
"Sydney Messick is ready to make a huge leap. She is at a level where she is in better shape now than she was when she got 32nd at the Big 12 meet," said Smith. "I would hope that she can perform at a level higher than last year, which makes us better. Also, Martina is going to add a great deal of depth and experience."
With seven newcomers to the men's squad this season, they are hoping to build a foundation of youth and talent that will lead to long-term success. Senior Tyler Fennema, junior Jack Sachse and sophomore Kevin Edwards, three returning runners for the Wildcats who are scheduled to compete, hope to step up and lead the men in Wichita. The men's squad will also count on three true-freshmen, Kyle Hanson, Mitch Loring and Travis Boyett for depth on Saturday. Filling up the final spot for the men will be sophomore Armando Del Valle.
Other teams to compete at the J.K. Gold Classic are Wichita State and Cloud County.Results from the meet will be posted at www.k-statesports.com as soon as they come available.

Victorian Gothic Mystery
This sumptuous example of Victorian Gothic Revival decoration is in the form of a large albumen print photograph, a typical kind of format, 9.5" x 7.5" and mounted on a piece of card that clearly used to be a leaf from an album. (And here's a tip for you if you want avoid the ire of the bibliographically-insane: books have pages, albums have leaves. I was once nearly arrested for this felony by a member of the self-appointed bibliographical police) Anyway, one of the joys of dealing with vintage photos is also one of it's frustrations: that is, for every photograph who's story you can uncover, there are those which remain stubbornly silent. R's excellent suggestion, that it might be the room which is now the restaurant at the V&A Museum, the Gamble Room, and my first best-guess, that is might be a room from the wonderland of Victorian Gothic that is Castel Coch, turned out to be non-starters. So it's back to the head scratching again.

It depends more on the quality and fit of the shoes than what you put in them.
it can cause long term damage, my mom worked a job where the women were required to wear a uniform which included a pantsuit and extremely high heels and the men in full suits and ties and my moms feet are screwed up. she wore 3-6 inch heels 5 nights a week for 10 years and now she loses feeling in them all the time and has toes that are all fucked. if you plan on wearing heels for long hours, make sure they fit, have some sort of cushion and support!

There has been a lot of talk about "the cloud", "computing in the cloud", and "applications living in the cloud". Pretty amazing how the term cloud is used and defined so differently by the many different parties involved. I personally am looking into coming to grips with the cloud. Downloading white papers and doing research on the cloud with Microsoft, SAP, Google, Citrix, and others can help a bit, but in some cases it can actually confuse. The cloud probably cannot do all of the claims I have read, since, in my humble opinion, most vendor claims look somewhat like "hype" and are heavily geared towards the business side of the decision making process: 40% reduction in IT software and hardware costs, get rid of IT staff, eliminate any need for maintenance in IT, etc – notice these are all IT reductions? (Which is probably why most of the marketing suggestions want to put the cloud first in front of the C-Level business personnel, maybe hoping to get the wheels turning before IT comes into the picture?). But it seems like this foggy and nebulous "cloud" is not going to go away, but will actually increase with marketing teams pushing this to the forefront in so many discussions (to gain more market share, revenue, etc – which is OK because that is their job). Slowly but surely I have heard of SAP B1 also "residing in the cloud". For ANY job connected with IT, the cloud is going to affect all of us in how we do our work or even possibly if we have work left! So maybe you and I need to get a good picture and answer the question of "What in heaven's name is this cloud"?
From my perspective and what I have seen, I think the cloud turns out to be one company outsourcing its applications and IT structure, which are currently "on-site", to another company which "hosts" (oversees and runs) those applications and structure anywhere in the world using the Internet. It comes down to a portion of your business being "off-site"; and a rather precious portion which companies have worked so hard to build up and fine-tune. I personally do not think that this is a radical new idea like most folks say when starting to talk about the term "cloud". But that is my personal opinion only and my definition is probably fairly simple, but it is a start! [NOTE: Interestingly I wrote this down during my research: cloud computing is a type of computing where scalable IT capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies to multiple external customers. Which seems to emphasize scalable - being able to contract and expand hardware, users, etc. when needed. Another wrinkle in that it could be internal as well?].
I imagine another reason for outsourcing to be a rather scary proposition is due to some of the results from some recent off-shore, off-site outsourcing efforts. Then WHY would a company make a decision to go into this "cloud" after putting so much time, money, and effort into one of their most significant business drivers? Well, as always, in business it gets down to money. If your company is hearing a lot about cloud computing, then hopefully you are getting a much better understanding of what cloud computing is and how it actually works for your entire company. Because it appears as if there are two distinct camps in understanding the worth and the affect of going off-site: from a business base and from an IT base. And each one is coming into the discussion with different viewpoints, so there is bound to be some friction in the decision process. And, more importantly, it seems like vendors need to overcome that chasm with understanding of what those different parties need to hear in an up-front effort.
The Business Base. The cloud can help drive down costs by transferring many of the in-house system-processing and applications to a company which "hosts" (runs and oversees) the applications in its own large data center. For the business personnel, their systems, software, and hardware are moved off-site to another company which attempts to realize gains in numbers of companies they host. From a financial business perspective it means your IT costs are no longer "capital expenditures" but instead become "expenses". In some places, that has important tax implications for the company, but I am not going to get into that.
But bottom line for the Business Base is to reduce costs X% by moving to off-site hosting.
The IT Base. The cloud can help drive down costs by transferring some of the IT structure to the same hosting company. Notice the difference in "some" in the IT base and "many" in the business base. It seems to me, there is a big difference here. For IT, the cloud means also taking out, selling, re-directing, returning, or dismantling some IT hardware and IT software. Most vendors say it also means changing the entire IT role. The information I have seen on the Internet implies that companies can reduce costs by radically reducing, replacing, "re-directing" or even eliminating the current IT personnel. You might think this is a hard pill for IT personnel to take, but I am going to have a completely different take at the end of this blog.
But back to bottom line, and for the IT Base it is to reduce costs X% by moving to off-site hosting.
Both Business and IT Bases have the same bottom line, but the real crux of the matter is to what degree they dive into and how much savings are connected with this off-site outsourcing cloud. While the business personnel might think along the lines of IT as being one all-encompassing arena, the IT folks are more versed in the intricacies of the IT structure to know there is a need for IT in taking care of servers, PCs, inbound and outbound lines, on-site user support, etc. These differences need to form how a company understands the "why" for going into the cloud, and this responsibility lies right on the shoulders of the vendor.
So, the vendors have a bit of hard work to do in front of them, and you might profit by realizing some of the work they need to do to win your business in the cloud. It can no longer be the "my game is better than their game" for the vendors. Both customer and IT bases will accept the "cloud" as being viable when the company as a whole has some reasonable questions answered.
- The Cost Reductions are Clearly Understood by the Customer. How much and what kinds of costs are realistically reduced for the customer? How can we be guaranteed these are the actual cost reductions we will receive in the years going forward? NOTE: Most of the cost saving calculators from the vendors are pretty weak in telling you what Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss line items are affected. Most vendor calculators have 6 fields to be entered to demo and estimate the savings, and from my experience in Finance, the CFO is going to require a much more detailed analysis than that.
- The Actual Cost of Cloud Computing is Understood by the Customer. What is a CPU hour and what does X cents per CPU hour available mean? What is the total package cost for the number of users with a cost per user being given? How does the cost of on-site licenses differ from the cost per user? What is the definition of GB transfer and why are some plans combining both data size and per GB transfer? Are there different plans for the company similar to bundled services in other areas? Will I incur charges for updates in software and hardware?
- The Loss of Control over the Data Center. What happens if the off-site data center goes down? What are the current level of down times? Can you provide a good definition of the down times from the past (the importance of down time needs to be better explained in how it impacts the business being done and when it happens, not just a figure of 99.999%)? Is being off-site more secure than having my data center on-site? What types of security in place are there and will my business be more secure by being off-site? What will the back up mechanism and schedule be? How is my sensitive data protected from outside attacks and spying? Are there any shared responsibilities in going into this agreement? What kind of Service Level Agreement (SLA) is there? http://www.360itevent.com/page.cfm/EMSLinkClick=2164_872_612_599244_51263_7038
- Applications for Business and IT. Can I introduce enhancements and customizations to the application being hosted? Is response time going to be impacted up or down and by how much? What kind of integration can be done and who will do it? What is the maintenance plan for each application and what arrangements or contracts do you have with my current vendors? Who is responsible for contacting and coordinating bugs and errors in the applications? How does testing go for scheduled upgrades and changes? Does this affect the existence of in-house application personnel? How does this impact my consulting or contract personnel in getting their jobs done? Who needs to pay the yearly maintenance agreement, if there is one? Are regulartory requirements adequate for governmental and industry-sector needs?
- Impact on IT Structure or Architecture. What kinds of hardware will remain in place? How does the concept of "plug and play" really work? What is the plan to dismantle or re-arrange the current structure in place? Can the transition to "off-site" really be done as fast as what is claimed? What am I to do with the current hardware I have in place? What happens to the warranties and software the company has for the IT-related items?
- Impact on the Current IT Staff. What kinds of provisions are made for the Help Desk or End User Support? How can you demonstrate that I will actually have to adjust the number of IT personnel? What kind of training is required for my IT staff to work with your environment or manner of doing business? How can I really eliminate IT staff and, if I do, what is the way to support the company personnel here on-site? What are the main points in re-training the IT staff to perform new functions? What tasks will company IT personnel be charged with and which tasks are going to be dropped?
Those are a lot of questions left in my mind after doing some research and I am not the business or IT "expert". I am positive there are a lot more. If I stopped or researched a bit more, I would probably have a lot more too. If you get a chance, try to get familiar with the above points and gain an understanding of them on a general level to get yourself prepared. As I said before, discussions are going around about SAP B1 also! Which leads to my last point for your company to insist upon when being approached by a vendor...
Dual Involvement of Business and IT in the Beginning. If vendors understand that both Business Base and IT Base have the same objective and that IT actually does understand business environments demand change, then they will involve both the IT and the Business Personnel at the very onset and get-go. It will be the wise vendor who respects IT for being a mature enough field which can contribute to the decision process in an experienced manner. As a matter of fact, how could many of these concepts be explained without the company's IT personnel involved in the process? The C-Level business person needs the C-Level IT person, since IT specializes in its own area like any other business unit does, and that is true for all "levels" of the management and company structure.
We have seen many examples of how "revolutions" have come about in the world of computing. The cloud might be, in some respects, part of that revolution in computing capabilities with proper strategies of how it comes about and how the IT structure and architecture are realigned. But only if a lot more questions are answered with all parties involved and with a lot less "hype". Once that happens, a company can accept "the cloud" and move forward in confidence with the vendor's hosting company they have chosen.
The road to understanding what the cloud is continues...

WOW! That was a VERY interesting read indeed.
Oct 25, 2010 at 11:18 UTC
Thanks Kenny - I have been having off-line discussions with two CEOs of actual hosting companies.
One says that cost is a minor part of the equation and the real emphasis should be about value where the company can concentrate on "Business Stuff", while the provider can concentrate on the "IT Stuff". I understand value is certainly important, but money inevitably comes in to play at some point; it might not be that minor. I can see his point, but then I was left with the question: in the connection of SMB and SAP B1, would it be better for a company who is just implementing SAP B1? The SMB with SAP B1 already has an inital investement, and how are they impacted for them to move to the "cloud"? So how does one actually talk about costs/cost savings and value for all to understand? This is freaking interesting...
The other CEO says I am missing a third part he calls the "Net Footpath" - which I take to mean the internet providers/telecomm companies, etc - the person between the company and the provider. Geez - the terms!
LOL - I just wonder if I am making headway into this topic for SW members with SAP B1 right now or for those looking into using it??? I am going to just keep plugging along...any new info will get edited into the original posting...
Oct 25, 2010 at 11:30 UTC
please keep up the great work. One of the things we welcome is a diversity of opinions, experience and knowledge. I hope to see you at Spiceworld 2011???
Maybe we can get SAP to come as well.
Oct 25, 2010 at 1:00 UTC
Kenny - SW has that great characteristic to it - with a million plus members, there sure are a lot of diverse opinions, etc...
SAP has their TechEd at the same time SW has their get together - I was hopping back and forth between the two. Me at Spiceworks 2011??? Now that would be interesting to see. LOL - Mr Non-Technical asking "what is that" every five minutes - I might get thrown out - LOL - just kidding!
OK, back to business - Jeff Stiles is Senior VP of On Demand Marketing at SAP. Here are some parts of his answer to the question "WHY" (my bolding):
"...I'll take a shot at providing my points of view on a couple of your key questions:
1) WHY would a company make a decision to go into this "cloud"...
I'm not seeing a lot of existing B1 customers virtualizing their existing deployed systems...We're seeing this happen a great deal with larger customers with more complex SAP Business Suite and SAP Business All-in-One landscapes. As you know, Business One is pretty easy to manage in an on premise deployment, and there isn't as much cost saving available by moving instances to the cloud.
On the other hand, customers who are new to B1 and are looking for a subscription-based, partner hosted solution...are typically making deployment decisions based on the ability to reduce labor costs in managing/operating the systems...
On the subject of dual involvement of Business and IT (not a question per se, but you make very good points)...I couldn't agree more...I see SaaS driving a shift in job functions / responsibilities across IT and Business. I've heard the term 'BizTech' to describe this... business folks need to develop some savvy around technology, and vice-versa...because of the very different requirements around deployment of an on demand solution...we're seeing a real shift in the skills / competency mix...My prediction: business process acumen and change management skills will be much more in demand than [sic] purse technical consulting skills."

BizTech consultant. I kinda like that.
Dec 20, 2010 at 10:14 UTC
Good analysis, I think it boils down to a level of trust and technical ability. For a small company with not IT, and or limited IT know how in house cloud computing can be inexpensive. In my case as a tech/admin, I would want most of my stuff in house, perhaps using some Virtual Private servers and or co-location depending on my requirements, but still having total control over my infrastructure. I imagine many others would be happy to let someone else handle things.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

This guy and I met off a dating site and he was looking for a girlfriend and we do "click" - both our hearts race, he gets a boner, etc..and weboth feel relaxed in each others company. there's a mutal attraction right from day 1. We have been intimate and he enjoyed. he's 27 years old. Always asks questions about when I finish college, etc...to get to know me.
However he does have a medical problem and the doctors aren't able to find what's wrong with him - something with his head...plus he has a hectic work schedule as an accountant. His jb is difficult for him and he feels depressed.
He did however come forward and he met my mom - he wanted to, and he explained the situation. He also told my mom tht he cares about me and all thses other nice things about me.
Are these valid reasons?
- Valid / sincereVote A
- ExcusesVote B
Most Helpful Guy
i mean health and work are valid excuses but then I'd ask why was he on a dating site?
how long were you dating?
how soon after "being intimate" did he call it off?
I guess I question why he was on a dating site?
...is he in unsure about dating, didn't know how his medical issues or job would be, or just looking to hook up11|00|0
he said he thought he could handle it but cant
those sound like valid reasons then. A lot of times people want something even though they may deep down not really be sure if they are able to handle it. these actions kinda stink though because they are not entirely independent actions and will have consequences on other people
thats exactly what I was told, "i thought I could handle it" LOL

Didn't make it out to the Doheny Blues Festival this past weekend in Dana Point? Well, you might see another array like the Experience Hendrix tribute that was staged there, but if you need another fix of roots music — heavily laced with Cajun, zydeco and other New Orleans influences — then make no plans for June 25-26.
That's when recent Hall of Fame inductee Dr. John (pictured) as well as Guitar Shorty, Barbara Morrison, Geno Delafose and more will take over the Rainbow Lagoon Park for the annual Long Beach Bayou & Blues Festival.
Morrison headlines Day 1 (11 a.m.-9 p.m.) along with White Boy James, DW3, Leroy Thomas & the Zydeco Roadrunners, the San Diego Cajun Playboys, Dave Sousa & the Zydeco Mudbugs and more. Dr. John caps the roster for Day 2 (11 a.m.-8 p.m.), which also includes Guitar Shorty, Delafose and his band French Rockin' Boogie, Seville, Charlie Jené, Bonne Musique Zydeco and more. Keith Frank & the Soileau Zydeco Band will appear both days.
There also will be a Mardi Gras parade led by the New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band, a French Quarter marketplace featuring loads of N'awlins delicacies, crawfish- and watermelon-eating contests, and arts-and-crafts tents for kids and teens.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the gate, $20 for seniors (60+) and students (18+) and $10 for students ages 13-17. Children 12 and younger get in free.

(Reuters) - Shares of CBS Outdoor Americas Inc CBSO.N rose as much as 9 percent in their trading debut, valuing the outdoor advertising company at about $3.7 billion as it pushes for a bigger slice of the ad market and its parent CBS Corp (CBS.N) focuses more on content.
CBS Outdoor's solid debut on Friday contrasted with that of "Candy Crush Saga" game maker King Digital Entertainment Plc KING.N earlier this week, suggesting that demand remains strong for shares in stable companies with strong cash flow.
"What the King IPO did is bring back some sanity in how offerings are priced," said Francis Gaskins, research director at Equities.com. "What investors like are big established companies with high barriers to entry."
CBS Outdoor's shares touched a high of $30.46 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange after its initial public offering was priced at $28 per share, the top end of the expected price range.
King's shares fell as much as 16 percent on Wednesday after one of the most hyped initial public offerings the year.
CBS Outdoor has long been seen as an awkward fit for a CBS Corp, owner of the most-watched TV network in the United States.
"This seemed like a very good financial idea to do a transaction that would unlock the value in CBS Outdoor," CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves told Reuters ahead of the IPO.
"It enables us to get quite a bit of capital to go forward with our desire to increase our profile in the content business," he said. The IPO raised about $560 million.
CBS Outdoor's shares were up 6.25 percent at $29.75 in early afternoon trading, while those of CBS Corp, which has a market value of about $36.5 billion, were up 1.6 percent at $62.46.
CBS Outdoors Chief Executive Jeremy Male said he aimed to convince big advertisers to move more of their spending to his company's billboards and other displays.
U.S. outdoor media represents less than 5 percent of advertising spending, compared with 8 percent in the rest of the world, Male said in an interview.
"The top 50 advertisers only spend 2 percent of revenue on outdoor," said Male, who joined the company in September after serving as a top executive at JCDecaux SA (JCDX.PA), the world's largest outdoor company.
"We see a great opportunity to work hard and develop that advertiser base," he said.
CBS Outdoor counts Apple Inc (AAPL.O), McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) and Sony Corp (6758.T) among its clients.
CBS Outdoor's offering reduced CBS Corp's stake in CBS Outdoor to 83 percent. Its holding will drop to about 81 percent if underwriters fully exercise options to buy additional shares.
Goldman Sachs, BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley are lead underwriters of the offering.
CBS Corp plans to divest the rest of shares through a tax-free splitoff later this year, after which CBS Outdoor will trade as a tax-efficient real estate investment trust (REIT).
CBS Outdoor has about 329,100 displays in the United States - many in desirable locations such as the Bay Bridge in San Francisco and Grand Central Station in New York - and about 26,100 displays across Canada and Latin America.
Male said CBS Outdoor would invest to make more of its displays digital. About 1.5 percent are in digital format now.
Outdoor advertising companies have been converting their traditional billboards to digital billboards as this allows them to run multiple ads on each display.
"If you are looking for cover and frequency on a particular demographic, people's travel patterns are repetitive," Male said. "It's a great argument for greater efficiency for advertising dollars."
CBS Outdoor's competitors include Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc (CCO.N) and Lamar Advertising Co (LAMR.O).
CBS Outdoor reported revenue of $1.3 billion and net income of $143.5 million for 2013. The company had about 19,700 clients in the United States at the end of the year.
