The United States military instills a set of core values in all Troopers. Each Service has a unique set; honor, courage, commitment, and integrity are common amongst them all. Regardless of your branch, there is an expectation that you will serve as a professional. As professionals, it is important to set goals that will help facilitate your success. Making sure you set personal goals is part of being a professional. I constantly try to set new personal goals in the realm of physical fitness. Keeping physically fit is important as a representative of the United States Military and the truth is that appearance is a direct representation of professionalism. Additionally, studies have shown that physical fitness is directly linked to your mental fitness. Since we must always stay in the fight mentally, staying physically fit is invaluable. Commitment to the fight means having the courage and integrity to tell yourself, I can always improve and set new goals. Professionalism is a key factor on how successful we are in our daily duties. Keeping and upholding the standard in the face of adversity, shows our strength that we will not be defeated. I have been told on many occasions by my leadership that everyone who serves should always have the integrity to do the right things even when you think no one is looking. It does not matter what task is being performed, you prove your dedication by always doing the right thing and not quitting until the mission is complete. A couple months ago, Troopers assigned to the Joint Task Force were invited to attend an FBI brief at Trooper Chapel. The lead case agent for the FBIs 9/11 task force presented an emotional and detailed overview of the 9/11 attacks. He discussed how everything had unfolded from the planning and execution stages to current day commissions and tribunals. At the end of the brief, the 525th Military Police Battalion (I/R) Command Sgt. Maj. Baker made a statement that really hit home for me. Our troops are being tested day in and day out by enemy combatants and many of those who committed terrorist acts, he said. Any lapse in professionalism gives the enemy an advantage and an opportunity to exploit our shortcomings. Once we give the enemy ammunition, we make a very difficult and heavily scrutinized mission, even more difficult. Once we advance in our fighting position, we cannot give that ground back to the enemy; we must constantly strive to improve our foxhole and advance our fighting position. To do this requires extreme mental toughness and our Troopers demonstrate the highest levels of professionalism every day. The resiliency of our Troopers in the face of such adversity is nothing short of amazing and truly represents the professionalism of our organization. This is why remaining true to our core values is so imperative. We must be professional and set new goals in every aspect of our lives. We can constantly improve and consistently train our bodies and minds. Always hold true to the core values, regardless of your branch. Always do the right thing, even when you think no one is looking. By Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Acosta 428th Military Police Company4http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/xwebsite/index.html By Rear Adm. John W. Smith Joint Task Force Guantanamo CommanderommandCCorner Ttrooper to rooper June 14 is celebrated both as Flag Day and the Army Birth day, and it is a great honor to celebrate Soldiers, past and present, who have carried our flag, worn our flag and defended our flag. Throughout history, our flag has inspired heroism, patrio tism and hope. And while I find our flag to be beautiful and filled with symbolism, there is nothing magical or hypnotic about 13 red and white stripes, or 50 stars on a field of blue. Our response to the flag comes from what it represents the very idea of the United States of America, and the people who brought that idea to life. The idea of our American government is truly OUR government by the people, for the people. Our Constitution provides the executive, legislative and judicial branches a fine balance of checks and balances on their au thorities. And this idea was brought into reality by the United States Army. The United States Army was formed June 14, 1775, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence. The revolutionary forces in the colonies were determined and brave, but varied in skill, strength and ability. They op erated independently, with no unified chain of command. In the spring of 1775, this army confronted British troops near Boston, Mass. The revolutionaries had to re-orga nize their forces quickly if they were to stand a chance against Britains seasoned profession als. On June 14, the Second Continental Congress passed laws giving the legal authority, rules, regulations and resourc es to unify the colonial forces in New England and form ten companies of expert riflemen to support them. Two years later, in 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution and adopted the flag with 13 stripes and stars depicting a new constellation. With an Army, a flag and a Declaration of Independence, the colonies won our freedom from the British, and built a country with high ideals for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No system is perfect, and no person is perfect, but the genius of our government lies in the ability to recognize problems and right wrongs in the words of the preamble to the Constitution, to form a more perfect union, estab lish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and ensure the blessings of liberty, for our selves and our posterity. Since then, our flag has travelled around the world and beyond. Six American flags are on the Moon. It has inspired hope to millions, here and abroad. And when worn on the shoulder of an American Soldier, it is carried in war and peace by those who helped bring America to life. Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army!
The Wire June 14 5Effectively managing Troops can be an extremely difficult issue for a leader. As the American military continues to become more and more diverse the potential for miscommunication and misunderstanding grows accordingly. Any manager knows that being able to motivate and persuade are key components to leading. But motivating and persuading people almost requires you get in their heads a subtle piece of magic, or is it? Long before Professor Severus Snape uttered the word ligilimens to get inside the mind of Harry Potter, psychologists like Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed methods for categorizing personality types based on how they interacted with their environment. Personality testing is all about determining how you perceive the world, process information and make decisions based on those observations, said Kathy Selves, director, Fleet and Family Support Center at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It is a psychological method that has been very thoroughly developed and tested.Psychologist Carl Jung developed a system of types to categorize people according to their responses to personality questionnaires. Myers and Briggs expanded on Jungs types to create the widely-used Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test. Now, its being used in resiliency programs across the Service branches, to assist Troopers with their ability to grow and thrive in the face of adversity. From the battlefield and beyond, the goal is to provide better leaders. Using personality testing, you can better understand why you act the way you do. You can better identify triggers that may cause reactions that for others may be normal, but for you are not. And vise versa. It helps you understand how coworkers could react to events and make the decisions they do in turn, this could assist with avoiding unnecessary conflict within your organization. In addition to being important for daily teamwork, said Selves, understanding personal ity types would also be very important in crisis management and decision-making.

The man who made and re-branded TBS with his multiple television shows has co-produced another film. In this latest edition, Tyler Perry brings together a group of somewhat wellknown actors and actresses as characters in Peeples. In this ill-fated attempt at amusing audiences, Perry has graciously removed himself from appearing on-screen as an entire cast unto himself and let others have a turn at acting. The movie, which is a title that I use in the loosest sense of the word, centers around the Peeples, a wellto-do, Hampton-dwelling New England family. Virgil Peeples (David Allen Grier) leads his household as the overbearing and stern father of three children: Grace (Kerry Washington), Gloria (Kali Hawk), Simon (Tyler James Williams) and his wife, Daphne (S. Epatha Merkerson). Everything is going well for his ordered and structured family until Graces boyfriend, Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) comes for a visit during the Moby Dick festi val. But youll never guess what happens when Wade decides to ask Grace for her hand in marriage. Oh wait, yes you will. The plot line of this movie is far from un predictable and it didnt fail to dis appoint. Wade plays the proverbial fish out of water and tries to prove himself worthy of Graces hand to Virgil. The staunch judge, who rules his house with the same authority and autocracy as his courtroom, obviously objects to Wade even coming near his daughter. The whole movie is about Wade trying to prove himself to his poten tial father-in-law and all the hijinks that would follow in typ ical Tyler Perry fash ion to include puns, slapstick and no shortage of innuendos. In the end Wade stands up to Virgil and makes a valiant attempt at a speech to change everyones opinion about him, which apparently worked. Wade gets Grace, Virgil turns out to have a wild side, the family divulges all their secrets and they all lived happily ever after. In the end, Peeples plays off its own title in an attempt to show the viewers that there are many kinds of people and there is a place for everyone if we can all just learn to live and love. All in all, this movie failed to fill seats and was just as predictable as every other film in the Tyler Perry saga. Thats why Im giving Peeples the same number of banana rats that I saw at Bulkeley Lyceum, one.Not another Perry Movie?!By Sgt.

Graphic by Staff Sgt. Aaron Hiler/The Wire The Wire June 147Editors Note: This column is intend ed to increase the cardiovascular fitness of the participant. Last week the focus was on pushup/sit-up improvement, this week we will center our attention on aerobic endurance. Some Troopers find the aerobic event, or running in general, troublesome. Gyms are full of guys and gals pushing and curling weights, but cardio equip ment rooms sometimes look like a ghost town. Troopers preparing for their phys ical training test rarely prepare for the running event as they would for push-ups, sit-ups, crutches or pull-ups. Why? Run ning can become tedious and bothersome; results dont come in the form of bigger biceps or a larger chest, and lets be honest, its just more difficult. This workout only requires a good running surface and a bicycle. I prefer a treadmill and stationary bike, but let preference be your guide. The key is continuous movement there is no resting period during this workout. Let your own level of condition be your guide. If thats strenuous try starting at a lower point. You can try a two mile run, 4 mile bike ride and mile sprint using the same percentages of your heart rate. If you want to throw in some variety try substitu tions. I sometimes replace the mile sprint with rope climbing. You might find the elliptical is more in-line with your fitness objectives. Bottom line is starting with what you feel comfortable with. Dont forget to hydrate, and if youre not accustomed to a rigorous plan, talk with a medical professional to make sure the workout is safe for you. Do you have an incredible workout that you would like to share? If so, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Keep it simple; try not to include weight vests, sleds or things that might be harder for the majority of Troopers to obtain. Triple Threat RUN: BIKE: SPRINT: By 1st Lt.

Chatter stops as a bell rings loudly three times signaling the end to one shift and start of a new at Station One. The morning roll call meeting has begun, and the men prepare to switch shifts by informing the incoming platoon what happened the previous day, including any emergency calls that were attended to. The possibility of new equipment on an incoming barge gets a few hoots from the crowd, and just like that the shift-change is over and its back to work. For the firefighters who serve at Naval Station Guanta namo Bay Fire Department Station One, this is a usual, emergency-less morning, one that means that no one on base is in need of assistance. After the shift change, the firefighters performed preventative maintenance checks and serviced all equipment and vehicles. Everyday, we come in and check the equipment, especially because the shift before may have used it and we have to make sure everything is up to par, said Capt. Steve Fearon, NAVSTA Fire Dept., Station One. We cant take risks and we cant take chances. Some of the items on their checklist: making sure the rescue tools, like shears and power-saws, are readily accessible; ensuring the medical supplies are stocked and radio batteries are charged. Its important to have all equipment ready, said Firefight er Dwayne Anderson. These steps are crucial and important because you can be called out at any time here, according to the crew. The Station One firefighters there are four stations on GTMO also train with the NAVSTA Hospital Emergency Medical Services monthly to keep their medical skills sharp. We are first respond ers, so if we do get to a scene first, theres a certain level of training that we have, which can help until the EMTs arrive, said Fearon. Whenever theres a medical situa tion and someone needs help, we are responding. Although the group aims to keep a routine schedule, the unexpected does happen. When it does, the team must respond quickly. Upon arriving to an incident, the team is prepared to handle any situation and must pass down information, such as what happened at the scene, what aid was given and if any conditions have changed, to the Ready for Code 3Story and photos by Sgt. Cassandra Monroe Staff writer, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Wire June 14 9 preventative maintenance checks and services during his shift. Andersons responsibilities include preparing all equipment so arriving EMTs. We pass down information because we are trained and certified as a first responders but they are the EMTs, and are the ones that will come and take over, said Fearon. This job can be unpredictable, said Firefighter Robert Graham. You have something planned for the day and an emergency happens. Your mind has to be ready for the unexpected. Although the job as a firefighter can be tough, an ap preciation for helping those stationed at GTMO proves to outweigh the hard parts. This job is dynamic and the team learns a lot while working on the job, said Anderson. Its really good to help people and you feel like you did something good, he said. Its all about safety in everything the team does. Saving lives, protecting property and preventing fires from spreading are the main concerns for the team. Just as fast as the team continued their checks and services on vehicles and equipment, the alarm sounded and someone yelled, emergency, emergency! The firefighters raced off into their vehicles, answering the call of duty to those stationed here.
Cadets aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle sailed into Guantanamo Bay June 7, during an annual summer training exercise. The crew sailed from its homeport in New London, Conn., aboard the 295-foot barque dubbed Americas Tall Ship the only active-commissioned sailing vessel in the U.S. military. The Eagle is special, both for the Coast Guard and for the nation, said Capt. Wes Pulver, skipper of the Eagle. Working with the crew, the cadets, its such an exceptional training mission. The five-week training mission gives cadets from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy the understanding of running a sailing ship. We get paid to sail a modern-day pirate ship in the Caribbean, said Jake Carlton, cadet 3rd class. Its amazing how much I know now after just five weeks of sailing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Not many people get to come on and do this, he said. The ship was built and commissioned in 1936 in Nazi Germany as the Horst Wessel. The U.S. took the vessel as war reparation after World War II and commissioned it into the U.S. Coast Guard in May 1946. It was the seventh vessel in the U.S. military to bear the name Eagle. Today, the Eagle serves as a training ship for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with a standing crew of 57 personnel. During training missions, the Eagle can carry more than 100 cadets. Sailor Luis Escobosa works as a boatswains mate of the watch. He was assigned to the Eagle after basic training and instructs the cadets assigned to the Eagle for training missions. For most of them, its their first extended underway period, said Escobosa. A lot of them get seasick. They work through it, they work hard and we teach them everything we know about the ship, he said. Their lessons are heavy with teamwork, he said, because this ship takes a lot of teamwork to sail. According to Escobosa, a typical day includes four to eight hours of watch as well as training including use of the damage-control equipment to fight fires or taking the helm to steer the ship. The Eagle also serves as a good will ambassador wherever it goes. During its Guantanamo port, visitors were welcomed aboard for a self-guided tour and experienced first-hand accounts from the crew. The experience was a welcomed insight into Coast Guard history and life for North Dakota National Guard 1st Sgt. Dean Richter, 191st Military Police Company. Ive never seen a boat this size before, he said. We dont have anything that would support a boat this size. Interested in proper terminology, Richter asked the crew if the Eagle is a boat, or a ship. They said its kind of a small one, he said. Its amazing to me that it could even float in the water. The Eagles port was a big deal for families stationed at the Naval Station, offering a new weekend activity besides the typical beach or park trip. Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Martinez and his wife, Jessica, toured the Eagle and were thankful for the opportunity. I just love that we get to see this at Guantanamo Bay, Jessica said. Its such a different opportunity, she said. In the States, you may not even know its there, but this is such a small community, you get to see this kind of thing. Eagle The lands at GTMOBy Staff Sgt.

12TFrooper ocus http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/xwebsite/index.html I will always place For many Troops, the opening line of the U.S. Armys Warrior Ethos is a group of words that inspire thoughts of duty, honor and service. Thoughts of working through adversity and achieving victory in the face of defeat. No matter what, the mission must always take priority. There is a mission out there that a select group of individuals take part in everyday; a no-fail mission, a must-win mission; a mission often obscured by life in a deployed setting. Fatherhood. For Army Sgt. James L. Enochs, a military policeman assigned to the 428th Military Police Company, his current deployment with Joint Task Force Guantanamo marks the third time he has been called to service. As the father of three girls, Enochs has had to face the reality that going to war is something that cannot be easily communicated or understood by children. I have a 10-year-old who doesnt understand where Im at or what Im doing, said Enochs. Its hard to explain over the phone what youre doing and why youre gone. The hardest part is the loneliness of my children always seeing me there, and then me leaving, and not understanding why. Being a father, or parent for that matter, who is deployed means that there will be moments in the childs life that are going to be missed. These moments will include birthdays, holidays and pivotal times of childhood progress. I have another daughter who is nine, Enochs said. I missed her going through the stages of her being a baby and walking. A month ago, my third daughter was born. Although his mission as a father has been stressful, as a leader, Enochs makes sure that he maintains a steady focus on the tasks at hand while on-duty. Being a leader, I have to keep my head in the game, said Enochs. I dont think about home when Im at work or dealing with army stuff because I dont want to make mistakes here. There isnt an easy way to cope but I cant let myself go as a leader. While he strives to stay on target for the mission at JTF-GTMO, Enochs realizes that the success of the mission on the homefront is equally dependent on the work of his most important battle buddy his wife. Together, they have made plans to ensure that their childrens needs are taken care of. A strong supportive spouse and wife is key, said Enochs. What they can do is keep themselves busy and be sure to take lots of pictures. I think about what itll be like when I get home and How one Trooper deals with being a father away from homeThe Other MissionStory and photos by Sgt. David Bolton Copy Editor, email@example.com
The Wire June 1413 how much fun Im going to have and I get overjoyed, said Enochs. I love my children every day like tomorrow isnt going to be there. Despite having to spend so much time focused on completing the mission of the U.S. Army, Enochs has made it his personal mission to make time for his family, focusing on their needs and how to meet them. Now, nearing the end of his deployment, Enochs is looking forward to going back home to his family and making up for all the time he was away. The thought of spending time with his family is one of the motivators that helps him push through to the end of his deployment. Keep in mind there will be an end to it, said Enochs. Youll meet your kids and move on with life. When Sunday rolls around and fathers back in the states enjoy a lunch or party with their kids, Enochs will have his own modified celebration. Ill call my wife and talk to my daughters this Fathers Day.

The Wire June 1415SFports eed Five teams hit the links at the Lateral Hazard Golf Course June 8, for the 2nd Annual Liberty Golf Tournament. With a shotgun start and best-ball scramble, it didnt matter if you were a pro or amateur at this competition. All that mattered was that you were having fun. Guantanamo Bay has the best Morale, Welfare and Recreation pro gram Ive ever seen, with tons of fun activities for Service members, said Lt. Col. Mike Shoen, Joint Detention Group, Joint Task Force Guantanamo. That is thanks in part to Liberty events coordinator, Katie Stanley. Money was a great issue with getting planning off the ground, she said, but it didnt stop us from getting things together. And though there was no Tiger on the course, the Troopers who par ticipated drove, chipped and putted their way using the best ball of the play. Playing the best ball turned out to be the fail-safe that prevented several teams from slipping back a place or two in the overall standings. At the end of play, Col. Timothy Barron, JTF, and Maj. Brandon Christensen, JTF, took home the 1st place trophy. Taking home the 2nd place trophy was Staff Sgt. Steven Jastrzembski, JDG, and his team mate Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Vernon, JDG. It was a great way to get out, get refreshed, and rejuvenated, said Shoen. Lovin the LinksStory and photos by Spc. Lerone Simmons Staff Writer, email@example.com

There was a lawyer once; his name was Francis Scott Key. He penned a song that Im sure youre aware of youve seen it its in most hymnals throughout our churches. Its the National Anthem. It is our song as an American. We go ... to a ball game ... and we sing the words of that song. And they float over our minds and our lips, and we dont even realize what were singing. Most of us have memorized it as a child, but weve never really thought about what it means. Let me tell you a story. Francis Scott Key was a lawyer in Baltimore. The Colonies were engaged in vicious conflict with the mother country, Britain. Because of this conflict, and the protractedness of it, they had accumulated prisoners on both sides. ...They said, We want to send a man out to discuss this with you. They were holding the American prisoners in boats about a thousand yards offshore. And they said, We want to send a man by the name of Francis Scott Key. He will come out and negotiate to see if we can make a mutual exchange. On the appointed day September 12, 1814 ... in a rowboat he went out to this boat and he negotiated with the British officials. And they reached a conclusion that men could be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. Francis Scott Key, jubilant with the fact that hed been successful went down below in the boats and what he found was a cargo hold full of humanity; men. And he said, Men, Ive got news for you. Tonight you are free. He said, Tonight, I have negotiated successfully your return to the Colonies. He said, Youll be taken out of this boat; out of this filth; out of your chains. As he went back up on board to arrange for their passage to the shore, the Admiral came and he said, We have a slight problem. He said, We will still honor our commitment to release these men, but itll be merely academic after tonight. It wont matter. And ...Key said, What do you mean? And he said, Well, Mr. Key, he said, Tonight, we have laid an ultimatum upon the Colonies. Your people will either capitulate and lay down the colors of that flag that you think so much of, or you see that fort right over there Fort Henry? He said, Were gonna remove it from the face of the earth. He said, How are you gonna do that? He said, If you will, scan the horizon of the sea. And as he looked he could see hundreds of little boats and he said, Thats the entire British war fleet. He said, All of the gun power, all of the armament is being called upon to demolish that fort. It will be here within striking distance in a matter of about two and a half hours. He said, The war is over. These men would be free anyway. He said, You cant shell that fort. He said, Thats a large fort. He said, Its full of women and children. He said, Its predominantly not a military fort. ...The Admiral said, Do you see that flag way up on the rampart? ...We have told them that if they will lower that flag the shelling will stop immediately, and well know that theyve surrendered. And youll now be under British rule. ...Key went down below and told the men what was about to happen ... As twilight began to fall and as the haze hung over the ocean as it does at sunset, suddenly the British war fleet unleashed. Bam! Bam! The sound was deafening. There were so many guns that there were no reliefs. He said it was absolutely impossible to talk or hear. He said, Suddenly the sky, although dark, was suddenly lit. And he says from down below all he could hear the men, the prisoners, saying was, Tell us where the flag is. What have they done with the flag? Is the flag still flying over the rampart? Tell us. One hour, two hours, three hours into the shelling every time the bomb would explode and it would be close to the flag, they could see the flag in the illuminated red glare of that bomb. And ...Key would report down to the men below, Its still up. Its not down. The Admiral came and he said, Your people are insane. He said, Whats the matter with them? He said, Dont they understand this is an impossible situation? ...Key he remembered what George Washington had said. He said, The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is he will die on his feet before hell live on his knees. The Admiral said, We have now instructed all of the guns to focus on the rampart to take that flag down. He said, We dont understand something. Our reconnaissance tells us that flag has been hit directly again and again and again and yet its still flying. We dont understand that. But he said, Now, were about to bring every gun for the next three hours to bear on that point. ...Key said the barrage was unmerciful... Sunrise came. He said there was a heavy mist hanging over the land, but the rampart was tall enough. There stood the flag completely nondescript in shreds. The flagpole itself was at a crazy angle, but the flag was still at the top. Francis Scott key went ... into Fort Henry to see what had happened. He found ...that the flagpole and the flag had suffered repetitious direct hits and ...had fallen. But men...who knew what it meant for that flag to be on the ground although knowing that all of the British guns were trained on it walked over and held it up humanly until they died. Their bodies were removed and others took their place. ...Key said what held that flagpole in place at that unusual angle were patriots bodies. He penned the song, Oh, say can you see by the dawns early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming. Oer rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that the flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet fly and wave, oer the land of the free and the home of the brave? Editors Note: This is an excerpt printed at the request of Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Borlin, Joint Task Force Detention Group. This story tells the history of the Star Spangled Banner as we celebrate Flag Day.

"One woman. One Great Lake. One great cause."
In her attempt to become the first person to row – yes row – the 1,500 mile perimeter of Lake Michigan, 27-year-old Jenn Gibbons will be completely self-sufficient. She'll pack 210 dehydrated meals and hundreds of Luna bars into Liv, her bright yellow, 700-pound rowboat. She'll sleep while buckled into an airtight and watertight cabin.
And when she returns after spending two months at sea -- with little opportunity to stand up -- she'll have to learn to walk again as some muscles will atrophy.
But while Gibbons is in it for the physical challenge, her real mission is to spread the word about Recovery on Water, the rowing team for breast cancer survivors that she founded and coaches.
During her trip, Gibbons will stop only to visit 10 port towns along the lake to raise funds for her charity – the team's boats cost approximately $25,000 each -- and highlight the vital role exercise plays in the fight against breast cancer.
It's all so survivors can "get fit, fight back and have fun," said Gibbons, recently named one of 20 inspiring Chicago women by Today's Chicago Woman magazine.
Gibbons leaves at 7 a.m. from Diversey Harbor on June 15; there's a departure party for her at the Chicago Yacht Club on June 14. Her progress will be tracked via satellites and you can find her on her website Row4Row.org.
She recently discussed the challenges related to her trip, which she's been planning for more than two years. Among them: being ticketed on Lake Michigan for disorderly conduct.
Q: How many miles can you row a day?
A: I can do 15 miles a day, but if there's really good weather it could be 30 miles. A storm can set you back three days of rowing, or 100 miles.
Q: How fast will you be going?
A: About the same speed as walking, about three to four knots. But I'll be rowing 650 pounds of boat through the water. It's not like I'm sprinting the boat. It's important to make sure I'm not rowing at a crazy rate. But certainly there will be days where weather and wind help.
Q: Have you ever done long-distance rowing? A: I rowed in college (at Michigan State) and coach rowing. I've run marathons and like endurance sports. But it's my first long rowing trip.
Q: How have you trained for this?
A: Cross Fit (at RowFit Chicago) has been a big part and helped me build up muscle around the joints to protect them and keep them strong. I row every day and do heated yoga.
Q: Where will you be stopping?
A: I start in Chicago, then to Racine, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Luddington, Muskegon, South Haven, St. Joe and New Buffalo. I'll be speaking at hospitals, bars and coffee shops to just let people know what I'm doing and why.
Q: Will you have any help at the stops?
A: The trip is entirely unsupported. I won't have people bring me things (at the stops), but if someone wants to hand me a hamburger I'm not going to say no. I have a water purifier to remove bacteria and viruses. If I were rowing in the middle of the lake it wouldn't be as big of an issue. Along the shore, the water isn't the best.
Q: How far from shore will you be? Will we be able to see you?
A: During the 10 stops I'll be a mile out, but I'm trying to stay away from boat traffic and shipping lanes. I'll be about two miles out on average.
Q: What's the longest you've rowed so far?
A: On training rows, I've done three-day trips, 30 miles a day. But that was under good conditions, when I had a good night's sleep and ate well.
Q: What's your biggest concern?
A: It gets mind numbing; I wonder where my mind will go when I haven't seen anyone for two weeks. And when I do, it will be short and brief. But my biggest concern is that I make it a successful fundraising and awareness event and allow ROW to shine. These women (I work with) are so inspiring. I'd hate for it to be all about me.
Q: What do you do during storms?
A: I'll store loose material and fasten the oars to the boat. Then I'll deploy a "sea anchor," an underwater parachute that prevents backward drift and minimizes the fall between waves. I'll take cover in the rear cabin. The boat is designed to withstand 30-foot waves and will self-right if I capsize.
Q: Will you bring music?
A: Yes, tons of it! In fact, I need suggestions. Please send me some!
Q: What about injuries? What is your most vulnerable body part?
A: My butt can get really sore. I can also get blisters, sunburn, bruises, rashes, pulled muscles and swollen joints. I'll have bug repellent, but flies are a major issue. I'll have an extensive medical kit on board and am certified in First Aid. I can rest for minor injuries, but if there's an emergency I'll activate the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).
Q: How will you sleep?
A: I sleep inside the 19-foot boat. There are two air- and watertight cabins and I have a ventilator for fresh air. There's a 6-foot-long sleeping cabin at one end and a food storage cabin at the other. The cabin inside is 4 feet wide and gets narrower as you get closer to the bow. My head is near the front of the boat and my feet close to the window, in front of my rowing station. I've slept in it on Wednesday night for the last two weeks.
Q: How did it go?
A: It's getting better. The first time was completely terrifying with all the different noises: hearing the water hit the hull, waking up with the ducks outside. I sleep out in the lake; it's scarier in the harbor because there are some weird people. The boat does get attention when I'm out there; I think motorboats don't understand that I don't have a motor and they can wake me. It's always a little scary with motorboats coming at me; they have giant motors and my boat is so tiny. The marine police gave me a ticket on St. Patrick's Day for disorderly conduct.
Q: Seriously? What happened?
A: I was on the river when they turned it green. (When she contested the ticket) the judge threw it out; I think the police officer just liked writing tickets.
Q: You'll be using the old "bucket and chuck it" routine. Can you get in trouble for peeing in Lake Michigan?
A: Yes, but I doubt I will. Can you imagine the ticket?

Metropolitan Avenue's positive influence on the community is undeniable. Yet it seems that Metropolitan Avenue is also the root of many Middle Village traffic dilemmas. Just as Metropolitan Avenue is a staple in Middle Village, so is the traffic.
Last week's accident in Middle Village on 76th Street and 69th Road is a case in point. In the wake of the incident that involved an overturned school bus, eyebrows were raised when residents called traffic regulations (or the lack of traffic regulations) into question.
Middle Village citizens are quick to point out that 69th Road is often used as a means of avoiding heavily congested Metropolitan Avenue. While many drivers opt to use the small road to evade traffic, residents are concerned with the seemingly voracious need for speed that so many drivers possess.
According to complaints made by Council Member Elizabeth Crowley to the Department of Transportation over the last year, several accidents have occurred on residential roads in Middle Village, 69th Road in particular, that could be avoided with traffic calming measures.
Some of these mishaps include a fatal motorcycle accident, a child's foot being run over, an Access-A-Van being hit and tipping on to another vehicle, and the recent overturning of a bus of preschoolers.
However, many residents feel that short cuts like 69th Road are necessary to reduce the time that they spend stuck in traffic. One Middle Village resident said she avoids Metropolitan Avenue at all costs.
"Instead of driving on Metro, I use residential streets," said the resident, whose experience speaks for many people's. "I will only use it if it's very early in the day or very late." She said
Many adjustments need to be made to ameliorate the traffic conditions in Middle Village. Each resident and passer-by has their own personal gripes and opinions on what can enhance both traffic safety and the flow of traffic, but let's just hope that appropriate amendments can be made before more people get hurt.
In the meantime, drivers should do their part by abiding by the speed limit on the residential roads.

Butler's first female president will leave her post at year-end.
After 17 years of leading Butler Community College through unprecedented collaboration and strategic innovation, President Dr. Jackie Vietti announced that she will retire at the end of 2012. Vietti, who became one of the most beloved and respected leaders in Butler's history, is leaving the institution she has fostered a stellar reputation for since 1995.
Characteristic of the Butler family culture she championed, President Vietti made the announcement to a gathering of nearly 500 faculty and staff during Butler's Fall Institutional Development Day on Tuesday afternoon. Later, at their monthly meeting, the Board of Trustees implemented Butler's presidential succession plan, appointing Dr. Karla Fisher, Butler Community College VP of academics, as interim president. Vietti's retirement will be effective Dec. 31, 2012.
Vietti served as Butler's fourth president, since the transition from dean to president in 1963, and the first female to serve at its top post.
"It has been my most rewarding professional as well as personal experience to serve as the president of Butler for the past seventeen years," said Vietti. "I have been afforded the opportunity to work beside truly exceptional individuals inside and outside the college, all of whom have invested selfless time, energy and thought in making our corner of the world a better place."
Credited with championing a new era of collaboration, Vietti's enthusiastic approach to collective solutions has built shared and contagious visions, creating results that no one organization could ever have accomplished on its own.
One of the more recent and most defining examples of Vietti's collaborative leadership came with this fall's opening of the $12 million BG Products Veterans Sports Complex. This unique project, initiated during an uncertain economy, brought together three equal partners who worked together to create a true community facility. Vietti also spearheaded Butler's engagement in the Achieve Kansas initiative, a partnership that involves 16 institutions of higher education in our region with the common goal of increasing post-secondary certificate/degree completion rates.
Under her leadership, defined by strategic planning, Butler initiated a new strategic framework based upon four stakeholder-driven priorities; developed and implemented organizational performance management and continuous improvement through participation in the Higher Learning Commission Academic Quality Improvement Program; and initiated the assessment of 21st century general education outcomes and workplace skills for Butler students.
Vietti's most profound legacy will likely come through the thousands of students and alumni for whom she believed could achieve a better life through higher education. Creating multiple venues for access, Vietti advanced Butler's mission to develop responsible, involved lifelong learners from expanded virtual learning programs to the Early College Health Sciences Academy at Rose Hill High School.
Vietti spurred dramatic enrollment growth during her tenure, recording a 21 percent increase from the time she started to Butler's highest enrollment of 10,116 students in fall 2010.
Vietti's servant leadership stems from her firm belief that each individual has the potential to add value to an organization and a strong commitment to treat each person she encountered with dignity and respect.
"Butler is the college it is today because of the steadfast people who have believed and invested in its pure learning power," said Vietti. "What an honor and privilege it has been for me to work beside the individuals who have made Butler and our region a better place for all."
Recognizing Vietti's visionary leadership, transformative community influence and her uncompromising student commitment, Dr. Greg Joyce, Board of Trustees Chair, said it will be hard to imagine a Butler without Dr. Vietti.
"The culture of quality that exists here today has been developed under her inspiring leadership," said Joyce. "She will be remembered, however, every time we look around and see all that has been accomplished during her time here. I don't know if there's another college administrator out there like her, but we're going to make every effort to find him or her."
Vietti realized many major strategic accomplishments during her time at Butler. Highlights include the completion of several capital projects, including a new Andover campus student union, a new welcome center in El Dorado, and an additional 192-bed student-housing complex; the recent grand opening of the Butler Center for Hospitality and Culinary Arts; conversion of 120,000 square foot space into general and technical education classrooms within a building in the Andover Industrial Park; development and implementation of a $6 million technology plan; and initiation of a mutual gains collective bargaining process with the faculty association.
"People likely will wonder what I'm going to do with my newly found time," said Vietti. "My first response is that I'll read some very good books over fine Coca Dolce and Sweet 120 chocolate. My second is that I'll continue to invest time and energy in several of the great causes that are in play in our region. I also see much more Nonie (Italian for grandmother) time in my future.
"I have long said that you never really leave Butler. Certainly that is true in my case, as I always will bleed purple and remain committed to helping the college and the broader community in any way I can."

Penguins move on with Game 5 rout of Senatorsby Shawn P. Roarke
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since they won the Stanley Cup in 2009, and they are ready to attack the penultimate hurdle while hitting a perfect stride.
Pittsburgh finished a thorough dismantling of the Ottawa Senators with a 6-2 victory Friday night in Game 5 at Consol Energy Center. It is the first Stanley Cup Playoff series Pittsburgh has clinched at home since the 2009 run to a championship when they eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers at Mellon Arena in the Eastern Conference Finals.
"When we put ourselves in a position like this, you want to capitalize on it, and we came out with the desperation to win and you saw that from the puck drop," said Pittsburgh forward James Neal, who fueled the offense with a hat trick. "We were physical, putting the puck on net, special teams, we got a few big goals. It's a huge team effort and it feels good."
The top-seeded Penguins will play the winner of the other Eastern Conference Semifinal between the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins and the sixth-seeded New York Rangers. Boston leads that best-of-7 series 3-1 with Game 5 on Saturday in Boston (5:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, RDS, TSN).
Brenden Morrow, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin also scored as Pittsburgh continued its habit of offensively blitzing opponents at virtually every turn.
The Penguins have played 11 games through two rounds of the playoffs and have reached at least four goals in nine of them. They scored 13 goals in the final 100 minutes of this series and have 47 goals this postseason, 12 more than the Bruins, who sit second.
"We came out and we surprised ourselves when we played with a lot of speed, got the puck behind them and get going to the net. It showed again tonight, getting it behind them, being physical and getting to loose pucks," Neal said. "I can't say enough about how hard we played throughout the series.
"When you have that confidence, it's a good thing to have. We are playing well."
The Game 5 result illustrated why Pittsburgh can dominate offensively on any given night. Four players scored and five other players got an assist as the Penguins' depth completely wore on an Ottawa team going up in weight class for this series.
"In order to get good offense, you have to play well as a team, and we have been doing that as a team," Pittsburgh defenseman Douglas Murray told NHL.com. "When all four lines play well, it creates a lot more room and the other side gets tired. I have been on the other side of that and it's hard to defend skill guys like that when you get tired."
The seventh-seeded Senators had written a great story in the first round, upsetting the second-seeded Montreal Canadiens in a five-game shocker that featured an otherworldly performance by goalie Craig Anderson. In this round, the Penguins made Anderson look human; he allowed 20 goals in the five games and was pulled twice.
"I thought they were very consistent throughout the five games and really had us on our heels in almost every game," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said of Pittsburgh. "It's a credit to them and their organization, and it was a great learning experience for our organization.
"After great success against Montreal in the first round, I think we got a lesson from them on how to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs from a good team -- and we learn lessons well."
It also might have marked an unappealing end to the career of Daniel Alfredsson, the Ottawa captain, who has been coy about his future. He scooped up the puck at the conclusion of Wednesday's Game 4, fueling speculation it might have been his last home game. Minutes later, he said in his postgame comments that the Senators probably couldn't win three games in a row because of the Penguins' depth and power play, an observation that made headlines for the 48 hours leading up to Game 5.
The offense Pittsburgh generated meant goalie Tomas Vokoun again only had to play mistake-free hockey. He did that for the most part, allowing a goal by Milan Michalek just as a Pittsburgh penalty expired in the second period, and a cosmetic third-period goal by Kyle Turris. Vokoun finished with 29 saves.
In the second period, Neal continued his recent hot streak, scoring a power-play goal at 7:38 when Anderson misplayed a shot by Letang from behind the net and Neal pushed the loose puck past the goal line. Neal added an unassisted goal 11:07 into the third period when he pickpocketed Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson and beat Anderson. Neal finished the hat trick when his long rush up the ice culminated in a wrister past Anderson with 2:39 remaining.
Neal had five goals in the last two games and nine points in the series.
Morrow, who did not play Game 4 due to an injury, scored Pittsburgh's first goal 6:25 into Game 5, driving hard and beating Ottawa defenseman Jared Cowen to the front of the net to get into position to deflect a Mark Eaton pass past Anderson. The pass hit both Morrow's stick and his skate before going in and was reviewed before being upheld as a goal.
It was the fourth time this series Pittsburgh scored first, and the third time that goal came in less than seven minutes. The Penguins have a League-best 16 first-period goals this postseason. That early dominance was the foundation for the Penguins, who changed a closely contested series through the first three games into a blowout across the final two.
"I don't think much changed," Crosby said, talking about the 13 goals in Games 4 and 5. "I thought that we took advantage of the opportunities we got. I mean, Anderson even before that was making a lot of stops. Even when we got a lot of chances, he seemed to make a lot of different types of saves at different points in the game. I think this was just a matter of burying the chances we got and finding a way of putting them in."

I have two new snowmen paintings to share with you that I just listed in my Etsy shop today. They're both miniature paintings that measure approximately 4 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. I painted them on "recycled" wood plaques from the thrift store. Both images are also available on coffee mugs, which you can purchase from my Zazzle.com store HERE.
The first one I call "In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman." It's a long title for a painting, I know, but that's what this trio of caroling snowmen is singing!

A wide variety of conducting, insulating and semiconducting materials can be deposited using spatial ALD. Examples are Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, HfO2, In2O3, ZnO, ZnO:Al, ZnO:In, IZO, IGZO, ZnSnOx, silver and Alucone.
Typical applications are found in the semiconductor and (thin film) photovoltaic industries. An application example is the use of Zn(O,S) buffer layers for CIGS cells.
Currently CdS is the commonly used buffer layer for CIGS cells. However, this material has a number of major drawbacks. Cadmium is a highly toxic material that should be eliminated both from consumer products and from waste streams. Furthermore, the material has a high absorption coefficient in the blue light spectrum, which leads to efficiency loss of the PV modules.
The solution is to replace CdS by ALD deposited Zn(O,S). It completely eliminates the use of toxic cadmium while the improved optical transparency and lower absorption results in an efficiency gain of more than > 0,4% abs.
Moreover, the highly conformal ALD process (without pinholes) opens the opportunity for a simplified CIGS layer build up. At the moment an undoped ZnO layer needs to be deposited to make sure there are no shorts between the AZO and the CIGS materials. This can be omitted with an ALD Zn(O,S) deposited layer.

Last month's jobs report showed an uptick in hiring as employers start to increase payrolls, but their confidence levels might not be high enough to add full-time workers.
Continue Reading Below
The nation's unemployment rate still stands at 7.6%, but there is one area showing significant improvement: temporary and contracting work.
An estimated 17 million people are employed in these areas of the labor force, making up 12% of all employed people in the U.S.
In fact, the Washington Examiner reported Monday that Kelly Services, a temporary work provider, is the second-largest employer in the nation, just behind Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT).
Full-time workers come with benefits packages that tend to include health care and retirement plans, which come with a hefty price tag for companies still unsure of the economic recovery.
Contracting work has become a booming area in the labor market, making up 10% of the 12% of American workers in temporary and contracting work.
Temporary employment dropped by about 1/3 during the Great Recession, according to James Sherk, senior policy analyst in Labor Economics at The Heritage Foundation. Employers are beginning to bring temp workers back on, but they are also the first to go, he says.
"In many cases, employers are not confident to bring in regular, full-time employees because it may hurt the entire firm. This is the most disturbing trend, due to the weak economy. It's an economy and situation where employers aren't seeing their shelves pick up, so they won't commit to hiring a full-time employee."
He isn't surprised by the uptick in contractors, saying many are attractive to the idea of working for themselves. "They enjoy the freedom and flexibility."
But the temping trend doesn't have to be all doom and gloom for the economy, says Ann Webster, president of temp staffing firm Aquent, which works with nearly 3,000 workers weekly.
"It's not unusual for a temp position, in the higher-end, to last for 12 to 18 months. It's often a person being brought in for a strategic workforce solution."
The workforce has change, and there is more need for employees to work on a project basis than in the past, she says.
"Rapidly changing technologies and the need for people to understand this changing technology [means] companies need more flexibility to augment their workforces than ever before in the past," Webster says. "Companies are seeing a lot of benefits from being able to bring in the expertise they need for teams, when they need those experts."
Sherk says this trend likely won't change until the economy makes a full recovery.
"Basically, when businesses have more confidence, the demand and economic growth will be there," he says.

Ever since I discovered Beauty E-shop (based in the UK) I have been a bit obsessed with ordering Kevin Beauty Maker stuff from Taiwan.
I have no doubt that the prices are jacked up but I don't mind as most items are about £10 – with the current exchange rate issues, customs fees, delivery fees, delivery times, I'm happy to pay a bit more to get something the next day (they always seem to use Special Delivery).
Oh also the whole site is in Chinese so I have had to wing it a little :o/
My recent purchase was a lip concealer and Aqua lipgloss in a peachy colour:
Here's the video that made me want these two items!
Lipstick – a nude peach:
The texture is lovely – quite similar to Japanese lipsticks with a soft, water touch feel. I love it but its still pigmented enough to make a difference.
Lip concealer:
I get a lot of redness around the lips, especially if I've eaten something spicy or had a hot drink – I look like I've been snogging someone with a stubble for 2 hours…not that I would know.
I have a Canmake Lip Concealer which didn't work so well (and that was for the actual lip to tone down pigmented lips). It was too thick and creamy. This one so far, is also very soft and you only need a tiny bit.
Lip Stick on:
So its quite sheer but with a hint of colour too – very nice – there's about 8 shades to choose from.
My net is still off – SCREW YOU TISCALI! So this is some late night cafe 2am blogging. See how much I love you?
Have a good weekend!

It pays to give back.
Four Baltimore charities will be highlighted when the series "Secret Millionaire" returns at 8 p.m. Aug. 4 on ABC, according to a press release.
Casey Cares Foundation, Duncan Street Garden Project, Moveable Feast and Rose Street Community will be the Baltimore foundations getting surprise funds in the season premiere. "Secret Millionaire," based on a U.K. show, follows self-made millionaires as they "spend a week in the country's poorest areas and ultimately reward some unsung community heroes with hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money," according to ABC's website.
What to expect? Here's what went down at Moveable Feast, according to the release:
"The original camera crew arrived at Moveable Feast in July 2011 and began conducting interviews with staff, volunteers and board members. They also brought with them, a volunteer whom they claimed would be their "official" spokesperson to shadow throughout the taping. The "volunteer" worked in the kitchen preparing food, helped with packaging of the meals and assisted with the home deliveries. On the last day of the filming, the Moveable Feast staff was surprised to discover that the volunteer was actually Anne Beiler of Auntie Anne's Pretzels and she presented them with a sizable check."
"We were completely shocked and very moved by this experience .... in fact, it literally brought me to tears. We were chosen from amongst many other charities in the area and that is a true compliment to our staff and volunteers who work so hard each and every day," Tom Bonderenko, Executive Director for Moveable Feast said in the press release. He added, "this was so unexpected yet wonderful and it means so much to us and to the people we serve in the community."
Downtown Baltimore-based Moveable Feast was founded in 1989 to provide meals to people with HIV/AIDS. They have since branched out to help women with serious illnesses.

Offense unable to help Cueto in loss to Phillies
CINCINNATI -- It's usually a safe bet to assume a game started by Johnny Cueto and Cole Hamels will be a low-scoring pitching duel. But that wasn't the case on Friday night in the Reds' series opener with the Phillies at Great American Ball Park.
For only the second time this season, Cueto gave up more than two runs -- four to be exact -- and it was more than enough for a sensational Hamels in an 8-0 Cincinnati defeat, the Reds' third consecutive loss.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- It's usually a safe bet to assume a game started by Johnny Cueto and Cole Hamels will be a low-scoring pitching duel. But that wasn't the case on Friday night in the Reds' series opener with the Phillies at Great American Ball Park.
For only the second time this season, Cueto gave up more than two runs -- four to be exact -- and it was more than enough for a sensational Hamels in an 8-0 Cincinnati defeat, the Reds' third consecutive loss.View Full Game Coverage
Cueto was cruising along until the fourth, when with two outs and nobody on, he lost his balance a bit on a 3-2 fastball and walked Ryan Howard. He then hit Marlon Byrd, his second hit-batsmen of the inning (he picked Chase Utley off after grazing him earlier in the frame) and fifth in his last four outings.
Domonic Brown followed with a two-run double to left, and John Mayberry grounded an RBI single to left to give Philadelphia a 3-0 lead.
"That was the inning that killed me," Cueto said through interpreter Tomas Vera. "Two hit batters, it's something I don't want to do. But that's how life is: things happen that you don't want to happen."
Cueto lamented just how close he was to getting out of the fourth unscored upon with two strikes on Howard.
"It's always one little thing that happens, but you've got to keep your head up and you've got to keep going."
Jimmy Rollins hit a solo home run just inside the right-field foul pole in the fifth to extend Philadelphia's lead to 4-0. The fifth inning would be Cueto's last of the night even though he had thrown 92 pitches, making it his shortest outing of the season. But Reds manager Bryan Price didn't want to tax the right-hander's arm unnecessarily.
"After five I took him out simply because we've asked a lot of Johnny," Price said. "We've asked him to throw seven to nine innings darn near every start. He's thrown 100-plus pitches often. It just seemed like one of those days where I didn't want to ask him to continue to do more on a day where we should ask him to do less."
Cueto allowed four runs on six hits while walking one, hitting two and striking out five. He is now 1-4 with a 5.58 ERA in his career against the Phillies.
"I probably have to make an adjustment," Cueto said. "I have to check it out, see what I'm doing [against them], because every time I face them they feel really confident that they can hit me, and they do it."
The Phillies added four more in the ninth against relievers Sam LeCure and Jonathan Broxton.
Meanwhile, Hamels continued his career dominance of Cincinnati with 7 2/3 shutout innings. He has never lost to the Reds, and is now 10-0 with a 1.36 ERA in 13 starts against them, including the postseason.
"Any time I'm here and going up against that team, it's what I associate: those positive memories. That kind of jumpstarts [it]," Hamels said. " … This ballpark can be very dangerous. Mistakes can be hit out of the ballpark, so you have to grind away and keep the ball in the bottom part of the zone and see what happens. That's what I was able to do."
The Reds have now been shut out in their last 17 2/3 innings, not having scored since Todd Frazier's solo homer in the first inning of Thursday's loss to the Giants. Friday's loss was their seventh shutout defeat in 2014, and Cincinnati hasn't overcome a deficit of more than two runs this season.
"It'll be a defining characteristic to our team and what type of year we have, because we are going to be behind," Price said. "Unfortunately, there are going to be times where we don't have the lead …. I'm stupefied by the rarity where we come back from a two or three run deficit, especially early in the game when you're not facing the back end of the bullpen, but quite often an average starter, though not in this case with Hamels. But we see our fair share of average starters."
Even though he can't understand why the Reds are having such difficulties at the plate, particularly when trailing, Price still believes in the talent on his roster.
"I realistically feel that if you have to get out there and constantly motivate players to play the game well, you've got the wrong players," Price said. "And I don't feel like we do; I feel like we have good players here. I have not lost confidence in the dynamics of our lineup, our ability to do things.
" …We have to fight way harder than we've fought to this point."

A new coffee shop is opening near the University of Memphis soon, and the founders have a multipurpose mission for it.
Avenue Coffee is opening at 786 Echles St., two blocks south of the university. Once it's up and running, the founders want Avenue to do everything from supporting local artists to championing social causes as well as serving a high quality cup of Joe.
In recent months, Avenue has been busy with renovations to its building and buying equipment. Co-founder Jaron Weidner said the venture is being run as a nonprofit business and has been working with charities, so its funding thus far has been through donations.
Becca Scaggs, from left, Jaron Weidner, Nick Griffin, Jordan Miller and Lizi Bliffen at Avenue Coffee near the University of Memphis.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
Weidner is a Pennsylvania native who moved to Memphis to attend Visible Music College and study music business. The coffee shop was a project developed through Mid-South Christian College, where the other founders have attended, and Weidner joined the mix about a year ago.
"We're really trying to take things a bit further than other coffee shops around town," he said. "One of our taglines is 'Quality, creativity, conversation.'"
In terms of quality, Avenue has teamed up with a local micro coffee roaster, Reverb Coffee, which will provide Avenue with its coffee. Supporting local vendors is a big part of what Avenue will focus on, so that was one reason they chose Reverb.
Another has to do with the first word in the tagline.
"When we tested some different coffee, his got really good reviews on blind taste tests," Weidner said. "He also puts the roast dates on his bags of coffee, so you always know how fresh it is."
Reverb owner Jeremy Harris said he got involved with the shop after meeting Nic Griffin, another of the founders.
"After hearing his vision for what he wanted to do with the café, they were a team that I definitely wanted to work with," Harris said. "The way they chose my coffee was through an informal taste testing with all of their team members. They wanted to use someone local and of extremely high quality, so they put my product against some other companies, and decided to go with my coffee. We are both (looking) to do great things for the city, but also agree that putting forward a great product is the first and most important step."
That fits with Harris' mission for Reverb and his attention to the quality of his own product. Reverb brings in coffee from around the world, and Harris has a similarly high-minded mission for his venture, saying that Reverb is focused on "Great coffee for a greater good."
Regarding the "creativity" portion of Avenue's tagline, meanwhile, the shop will have artwork on the walls provided by local artists, and the plan is to also bring in local musicians to play.
Additionally, Avenue is looking to host screenings by local independent filmmakers.
Then there's the "conversation" part of the tagline, which connotes a few things. Coffee drinkers will of course relax in the shop and chat with each other, but Avenue also is picking a different theme each month like clean water, for example, which will be the first month's theme.
Avenue will choose an organization within that theme and donate a portion of Avenue's proceeds to that organization. So, in a way, Avenue is sparking conversations around worthwhile causes in addition to selling coffee.
Also at Avenue, people will be able to write and draw on the walls, a la Huey's. There will be a loft area and couches, to provide a bit of comfort.
And in addition to coffee, Avenue is planning to offer baked goods – things like cookies, muffins and cakes. The team also is discussing "simple sandwiches," Weidner said.
The bottom line, he explained, is that the plan is for Avenue to make a difference in Memphis "one latte at a time."

Real Housewives of Orange County's Lauri Waring is taking her ex husband, Phillip Waring, back to court in an attempt to demand more money from him.
TMZ reports that Lauri is claiming she only earns $400 a month from her work as an insurance agent and actress. Yes you read that right, actress. She filed legal papers filed in Orange County's Superior Court claiming she has over $12,000 in expenses per month. She goes on to state that the money she is currently receiving from Phillip is not enough.
Lauri estimates Phillip earns around $360,000 a year. No word yet on if this is for child support or spousal support, as Lauri is currently married to George Peterson, who was portrayed as being a rich millionaire on past seasons of The Real Housewives of OC.
