THE STEEL HULLED f/v SHAMROCK
EC NOTE: This story is based upon a discussion I had with Captain John Bogan about the steel Shamrock that eventually came to Sheepshead Bay around 1984. The boat was a very popular boat for the few seasons it sailed in the Bay after Mickey Hipper, a retired NYPD Harbor Patrol officer purchased it. During that time, Captain Harvey Sailor occasionally ran the vessel and it fished for flounders, fluke and other bottom fish, and at times fished for albacore and bonita during the late summer and early fall before returning back to bottom fish during the late fall and early winter months.
I thought it was a nifty mid-sized metal boat for fishing in this area, especially when the early 1980s in Sheepshead, every other pier had a 75 foot or larger super cruiser with big horsepower to take fishermen faster and further offshore.
Shamrock new steel hulled vessel
For some reason, Mickey sold the steel hulled Shamrock, and that was the last we heard of it, or in fact the owner Mickey Hipper.
Captain John filled me in on some little known inside particulars on the 'steel hulled' Shamrock.
When my father got this boat, it was sailing as the Captain Bill out of Ft. Lauderdale. The builder was Sutton in Tarpon Springs. There was/is another boat he built called the Admiral's something or other. She was over on the west coast o FL the last I knew.
At the time we got the steel boat, she was powered by a pair of Cummins 250's. They were terrific truck engines, but on a boat gave us loads of headaches. After replacing the liners several times, due to saltwater pitting, we put a pair of 3306 Cats in. She was still severely underpowered, but was an economical boat to operate.
Another thing we did when we first got her, was cutting a foot or two of the roof. The roof at one time extended to the rail. Forget trying to set a hook on even a bergall. Visibility as far as backing in was greatly improved, but it was still real tough. It was even worse when the windows fogged up. This was a nightly event when we ran cruises in the summer months.
Shamrock with black painted hull on it
We had a marine architect come down and look at the boat when it was hauled out. He did his calculations and mumbo jumbo and told us the top speed we could get with a pair of 500hp engines was 18 knots. We added a trim tab and did gain a knot and a half. As far as 19 knots, who knows. The tab to me was not worth it as I never pushed her. It screwed up the way she drifted, as all tabs do. If there was even a little swell, she went straight ahead.
The boat is now in Minnesota. She is some sort of sightseeing rig. You would hardly recognize her, but the hull is the giveaway.
The glow of the city is visible
From Edison to Ambrose Light
The Jersey Shore saw it too
On many a star filled night
There came a time of uncertainty
Many dazed walking about
People unsure of everything
Looked on flickering lights of doubt
Every ounce of determination was tested
As emotions were all rubbed raw
There was not a person among us
Who believed a single thing they saw
The sky was filled with many colors
Pulsating into a thousand different hues
No one believed it could ever happen here
To a place we loved and knew
Although all now seems to be normal
As many are back to the old grind
The memories of that fateful day
Are forever etched into our hearts and mind
by Capt. John Bogan (August 20, 2004)

"New Orleans murders make too much sense to some," Opinions, Aug. 12.
I would like to commend columnist James Varney for his frank and pointed discussion of the culture of violence that is poisoning our neighborhoods, our families and our city. I share his concerns and his call to action.
In recent years there has been a growing discussion at the state Legislature regarding the need to reform Louisiana's criminal justice system. While the discussions have been vigorous, the successes have been limited. During the 2014 Regular Session, I was successful in establishing the
in an effort to assist the courts in assessing the safety and flight risk of a defendant when determining pretrial release conditions. Judges have limited information about the risks posed by defendants under the current system. The commission holds its first meeting next month with the goal of making recommendations to the Legislature regarding needed policy and legislative changes by Feb. 1, 2015.
Other efforts have been less successful.
, which would have prohibited the application of the habitual offender law to non-violent offenders, a much-needed sentencing reform, was never granted a committee hearing.
a bipartisan effort to reduce the criminal penalties for marijuana possession, met a similar fate when sheriffs and districts attorney strongly opposed the measure during a Senate committee hearing.
All of that said, I and others who share my concerns will not give up on the effort to bring meaningful, common sense reforms to our criminal justice system. The system is broken and it must be fixed.

With boat ownership comes a high degree of responsibility. One of the things you're responsible for is making sure your boat is properly insured. That's important because, as you probably know, operating a boat or other personal watercraft can cause substantial injury to other people. It also can result in heavy damage to other people's property.
Sometimes people who need protection for watercraft and its related liability handle things by modifying their homeowner policy. However, we believe a separate policy is a smarter way to do this. In addition to offering broader coverage, which is especially important for successful people with substantial assets to protect, a dedicated policy may be needed because many types of boats don't qualify for coverage under a standard homeowners policy.
While coverages vary from company to company, a good boat owner policy generally will help protect your assets in several ways:
At Paradiso Insurance, your local Stafford Springs insurance agency, we do our best to make sure you enjoy your time on the water without having to worry about what could go wrong, at least from an insurance standpoint. Our team specializes in writing Connecticut boat insurance policies, so you can be certain we'll get you the best protection available.
We understand the differences between power boaters, sailors, and commercial fishermen, so we can tailor an insurance policy to your unique needs. And we can get you protection from any one of a number of great insurance companies that know the ins and outs of boating and boat ownership.

Top 10 High Cholesterol Medications List by Popularity!
High cholesterol medications are often the first line of defense when LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels become elevated. This is because it many cases they are effective at reducing the level of bad cholesterol in the blood stream, because they work to reduce the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. These lipid lowering medications are even more effective when combined with healthy lifestyle practices such as limiting bad fat intake, reducing simple sugar intake, quitting smoking, increasing physical activity and losing weight.
Top 10 Interesting Facts about Sterols and Stanols
Sterols and stanols are compounds that are found in plants. They may also be referred to as a phytosterol. This all encompassing term refers to the entire group of these naturally occurring steroid compounds. In fact, there are over 200 types of phytosterol compounds found in various types of plants.
What Are Statin Drugs Made from – Dangerous Ingredients Alert!
What are statin drugs? Well, they are medications that are used to lower the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood. Doctors use them to help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in people who have high cholesterol or those that are at high risk. Most statin drugs are used in conjunction with dietary and lifestyle changes for the most benefit and the best chances of reducing the risk of serious health problems, like heart attacks.

Cholestoff Complete is a supplement that uses plant sterols and stanols to reduce bad cholesterol naturally. The manufacturer, Nature Made, explains that their Cholestoff product contains 1800 milligrams of these natural compounds in two daily 900 milligram doses, which is just shy of the 2000 milligrams recommended by The National Cholesterol Education Program. But, just how does the product work? And, how do its benefits stack up against potential side effects?
Cholesterol and Triglycerides – Why Do You Need to Keep Them Both in Check?
When it comes to controlling cholesterol and triglycerides levels, understanding how much control you may have over them is the first step. Cholesterol and triglycerides are both blood fats, they are both necessary for the proper functioning of the body, and too much of them have been attributed to a greater risk of coronary related illnesses. But, they are very different in many ways too. Cholesterol is made by the body and ingested with the food that we eat. It is used by the body to make cells and carry out numerous vital processes

Carol June Barton
Born 1954
Carol Barton teaches book art classes all over the U.S., she has curated many exhibitions of book arts, and she is the author of a series of interactive workbooks, The Pocket Paper Engineer, which offer guidance on creating paper art.
After graduating as a painting major from Washington University in St. Louis in 1977, Barton moved to Washington, D.C., to work at Glen Echo Park Arts Center. She still lives and works in Glen Echo, Maryland, where she owns and operates Popular Kinetics Press.
At the Arts Center, Barton learned the pre-press skills necessary to start printing her own works and was later offered a grant to produce her first artist's book, Beyond the Page, 1981. She developed an interest in adding pop-ups to her work, and she spent two years mining library collections in search of early examples of dimensional and movable books.
Barton describes: "My father was a diesel engine mechanic, and my own love of the structural and mechanical aspects of pop-ups probably stems from his early influence. As my work evolves, I am constantly finding new ways to push a book's pages beyond their flat surface and to integrate a message into the very form of the book, weaving visual and verbal narrative into the magic of the third dimension.
"But construction of the pop-ups is only a small part of the larger design challenge in creating a successful artist's book. Text, images, sequencing, rhythm, and the flow of time across a book's pages are all elements to be considered. The fact that an artist's book can encompass a wide variety of subject matter and materials prompted me to make the transition from painting to book arts early in my artistic career."

The Stalemate that Just Won't End
Here we are, one week away from defaulting on our national debt, and an agreement between Republicans and Democrats to avert a potentially catastrophic economic collapse has yet to be reached. Then again, there are plenty of hints that both parties are determined to reach an agreement before the deadline, but with each side still trying to get the best deal possible by playing this game of chicken till the very last minute. And pressure from their constituents is undoubtedly high, with CNN reporting that lawmakers' phone lines are jammed and their websites have crashed due to the sheer volume of weigh-ins from citizens across the country. Rhetoric is as heated as ever, but Majority Leader Eric Cantor is finally throwing his weight behind Speaker Boehner in favor of some sort of compromise that will get the debt ceiling raised at least temporarily, though the Democrats (having compromised on tax-revenue) are still pushing for a more long-term solution. By the time you get the next edition of Countdown, we'll either be breathing a collective sigh of relief or running around in panic. Shall we place some bets on which it will be?
Playing Hard to Get Really Does Work
Texas Governor Rick Perry has thus far refused to declare his candidacy for President. However, he's got a 527 group organized, and he's got supporters working on the ground in Iowa, even though he will be joining Sarah Palin in NOT being on the ballot there. Then again, he wasn't on the Ohio ballot either, and he still beat 5 other candidates in the Ohio straw poll last week. In the run-up to the Aug. 13 event at Iowa State University (seen as a make-or-break moment for campaigns including Tim Pawlenty's), Perry is making sure he goes on the record and gets his message out… in New Hampshire. Referring to his Christian faith in the interview, Perry said "I can no sooner separate my public life from my values — I can't do that." Someone should check with Herman Cain to see if that endangers the separation of church and state.
Dangerous "Journalism" Comes full Circle
How damaging is the anti-Muslim sentiment frequently found in right-wing media in the US? Apparently, (and the evidence looks fairly compelling), it's damaging enough to have influenced Anders Behring Breivik, the perpetrator of the Oslo attack who dedicated his atrocious terrorism to protecting Europe from Islam. This is undoubtedly a tragic and sobering moment about the dangers we face from the Islamophobic industry. Worse yet, the anti-Muslim propaganda got internalized by those who spread it, leading many in the media & on the blogosphere to embarrass themselves by jumping the gun in blaming Muslims for the Oslo attack (and reporting it as news) before any evidence even hinted in that direction. It was nice seeing them forced to backtrack though. And the best scolding for their absurd brand of journalism came from Stephen Colbert who satirically suggested the headlines for the rest of the year should just all read "bad thing happens some place; Muslims involved" while journalists devote the rest of their time to the retractions (it's a must-watch).
When 140-Characters Say it All
Twitter is great, but it does have its limits; 140-characters to be exact. So when TheTeaParty.net announced that it was going to hold the first-ever Twitter presidential debate for six GOP candidates, some were skeptical. But sometimes what is bad for some may be good for others. For Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain, the first-ever twitter debate was monumental. For Bachmann, the debate constituted a rare opportunity to avert any potential word mispronunciations, the conflation of singers with mass murderers, or the delivery of completely false statements. For Herman Cain, the self-professed champion of shortening things that require reading, Twitter could not be a better forum. If he weren't picked on for the 3-page limit suggestion, Cain's experience with 140-character limits may have provided his next proposal for Presidential intelligence briefings. By the way, did you notice that we just talked about Herman Cain without alluding to some bizarre anti-Muslim comment he made? That took a lot of restraint on our part!
Change We Can Believe In, But Would Really Rather Not
Last week, the House Foreign Relations Committee was busy inserting incredibly harmful amendments and language – oops, we mean marking up – the Foreign Relations Authorization Act. More commonly known as the State Department Authorization, HR 2583 was introduced by Chairwoman Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and contains such gems as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, potentially cutting aid to Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen and the Palestinians and so much more. We won't say more here because the good news is authorization bills almost never pass the full Congress. The bad news is that other bills do pass, including appropriation bills and the language that appears in the authorization bill can sometimes be an indicator of what is to come.
Non-Breaking News: Allen West Still Not Making Sense
Allen West is clearly not having a good week. Not only did he refer to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as "vile, unprofessional, and despicable," in an email asking her to "shut the heck up," but he's also decided to team up with the notoriously racist Citizens for National Security to host a briefing on "Homegrown Jihad in the USA." While West tries to root out the "infiltration" of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, maybe he can also find the sneaky communists that slipped through Joe McCarthy's fingers.
Ethan Bronner Clearly Doesn't Understand the Arab Spring
Ethan Bronner, The New York Times's Chief Middle East Correspondent, is no fan of "advocacy journalism." But that didn't stop him from writing a piece last week, "Spirit of Middle East Protests Doesn't Spare Israel," about how the democratic tide of the Arab Spring has finally reached Israel, sweeping away the occupation in the name of… oh wait, it's not about that? Oh, it's about Israelis who are angry about increasing rent prices? Yeah, I suppose that's almost the same thing…if we can use the Arab Spring as an umbrella term for any protest about anything, can we have our own Arab Spring to complain about the heat wave in the northeast?comments powered by Disqus

Open once thought of doing an article on Indians who did not know Sachin Tendulkar. Our project was shortlived. The task was near impossible. The few people who claimed to not have heard of the cricketer were on the margins of the poverty line or living in remote places. We concluded that no one who lived in the modern world would not have heard of Tendulkar.
We were wrong. One globe-trotting, knowledgeable celebrity with an India connection was unaware of Tendulkar. That person is the Dalai Lama. The Tibetan spiritual leader attended the King's XI Punjab vs Deccan Chargers match in Dharamshala. Asked if he knew of "a certain Sachin Tendulkar", he replied: "No, I don't remember."

By Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. of Hanlon Niemann & Wright, a Freehold, NJ Guardianship and Power of Attorney Lawyer
I advocate to all my clients that they have a power of attorney. Why? In addition to being substantially less costly than a guardianship action, a power of attorney can be far more effective than a guardianship in many cases.
Here are some examples to support my reasons:
(1) Avoiding the Courts: If the guardian wants to sell the ward's house, the guardian must file an action in Superior Court requesting the court's permission to permit that sale. A power of attorney document can be drafted to permit the agent to sell the principal's real estate without the need to go to court to obtain court approval. A big cost and time saving(s)
(2) A guardian may wish to engage in Medicaid and asset protection planning, or tax planning with his or her ward's estate. This type of planning often involves gifting the ward's assets to family members. A power of attorney document can be drafted to permit the agent to gift the principal's assets in appropriate circumstances, such as for Medicaid or estate tax planning. I can't tell you how beneficial this can be. But one needs to be careful since the potential for abuse exists if the agent abuses this power.
A guardian must go to court to obtain the same asset protection planning. When a court decides that a person is incapacitated in the context of a guardianship, the guardian cannot gift the assets of the ward for Medicaid or tax planning purposes without the permission of the court. To obtain this permission, the guardian must go to court and ask the court's permission to engage in the planning.
Having to return to court to obtain the court's permission for these expanded powers costs money and takes time. It also raises the possibility that the court may not grant approval to the request.
To discuss your NJ Guardianship and Power of Attorney matter, please contact Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. toll-free at (855) 376-5291 or email him at email@example.com. Please ask us about our video conferencing consultations if you are unable to come to our office.

Is the Constitution a 'rule book written for a different century'?
"On issue after issue, we cannot rely on a rule book written for a different century," so said President Barack Obama to the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 24, 2014, presumably referencing the U.S. Constitution. You may recall that the current biggest issue is his having initiated war in Syria by bombing ISIS without the constitutional approval of Congress. This is the third country that he has bombed without congressional approval preceded by Libya and Iraq, which gives him a legacy as a war president. Many recall that he was critical of President George W. Bush for having done the same thing.
All war powers are clearly described in Article I, Section 8 and the president is left with none. Once approved, he can execute the war as commander and chief, but still under the funding limitations imposed by the House of Representatives.
The obvious dig on being restricted to a document "written for a different century," shows a definite lack of respect for the Constitution that he swore by oath to "preserve, protect and defend" (Article 11, Section 1). Some in Congress considered his having done so in Libya an impeachable offense stating thus in Concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 107, but Democrats did not wish to confine their president. Still, the president's phrase is a mockery to the Constitution and should be unacceptable and embarrassing to every American, whether said by a Republican or a Democrat. Ironically the Constitution is designed to harness presidents just like him, and his predecessor, George W. Bush, but it will never work if the party in power runs interference for its own constitutional abuser.
It also shows a lack of understanding of the Constitution (whether ignorantly or intentionally), which is based upon human nature and natural law, which does not change from century to century. Man and governments are still beset by the same sins as expressed in all ages. There will always be those that wish to rule over others. Government will always attempt to grow its power. There will always need to be a list of the things governments can do and they will always need to be harnessed to that list. There will always need to be division of power and presidents will always, as James Madison said, "have a propensity for war" and wish to use any military power without consent. And there will always be those who wish to use the force of government to redistribute the wealth so that they can, in effect, purchase elections by "gifting" voters. The magic of the Constitution is that it, outside defense, does not distribute benefits to anyone. These are the reasons that it is said to be outdated by those who wish to take from us our liberties. President Obama's problem with the Constitution is that it restricts him from doing anything that he wishes and thus his belittling and embarrassing comment before the world.
One of my favorite classes to instruct is titled "Contemporary Political Topics." Students are encouraged to first use the Constitution, then natural law in problem solving, rather than political party or philosophical persuasion. This base is justified because every politician has sworn to "protect, preserve and defend" this document. It is the instrument by which everything should be judged. They love it. Amazingly we have yet to find an issue where the Constitution does not address current problems. So why should the president have the same restrictions on war as those presidents of a different century? It is because he does not fight on the front lines and is not at real personal risk. It is the sons and daughters of the nation who bleed and die for the cause and it is the taxpayer who funds the war. They, through their representatives in the House of Representatives, elected every two years by those most likely to suffer from the decision, are the ones constitutionally empowered to make the offering. War would than never be taken lightly. Suffering and cost to the nation would always have its proper place in the equation. When the war goes on too long the president must justify to the House the reasons why, and if the peoples' representatives do not accept his reasons, funding can be limited incrementally to bring an end to it or cutting it off entirely. In short, the people, rather than just one man, make the decision to go to war. As it was under George W. Bush, and now is under Barack Obama, one man and his military machine, both benefiting from war, decide entry and exit, not the people.
The "rule book written in a different century" is still as reliable as before on protecting us on entry and exit of war. What we need today are presidents and legislators that love and use it. In this quest we are embarrassingly in short supply.

Everyone's favourite Umbilo punk band, Fruits and Veggies rip up this cover of Gogol Bordello's 'Sally' at this year's Oppikoppi.
Hey, just because someone posts a video of something on YouTube doesn't make it worth sharing. This is extremely kakly put together. Someone roams backstage with a camera, catching lots of some instruments in their microphone and virtually nothing of the others. Bands should take greater pride in how they are documented and shared with the public – if I heard that mix at a gig I'd beat the crap out of the sound guy and demand my money back. Why should Internet viewers be expected to tolerate the same?

Bigger festivals should record all the bands through the desk and make these recordings available to the artists

Full text of poem:
Notes, sketches, etc.:
This poem is short, sparse, and contains a lot of concrete imagery, but even in its simplicity it is quite cryptic. Because of this, rather than attempting to extract a singular meaning or narrative from the text, I think that it will be more helpful to collect the details that contribute to its overall mood. In my notes, I listed the images and concepts that jumped out at me and then narrowed them down to a few that I found most salient.
I ended up isolating the ideas of holiness, gold, an empty house, singing, and the "you" – one of the more unusual aspects of this poem is that it is written in a repetitive second person. I also outlined some of the concepts to which the poem led me indirectly. The religion elements combined with the simple language gave me a sense of sparseness and austerity, and just the word "archbishop" leads me to imagine something cold and medieval. This train of thought brought me to Gregorian chant – the poem itself is a bit like a chant, and the references to singing reiterate this for me.
From the beginning, I was most interested in the visual of an empty house as the focal point of the design. The poem's narration of "your" actions, the references to windows, the image of the sun as "cold gold" through the closed windows, and the final line, "You expect to be heard singing in your house" all led me to visualize the progress of the poem as the solitary "you" walking through an empty house. As a result, most of my sketches incorporate different parts of a house's interior. I experimented with closed windows and doors, staircases – structures you might find in a foyer. I kept these structures closer to the foreground because I think it is important for the reader to be able take on the role of "you" in this poem and I wanted the image to suggest the reader's potential point of view without necessarily defining the whole house for him/her. I also toyed with the ideas of rows of empty church pews or a piece of sheet-covered furniture. In addition to the house, I also wanted to capture the singing motif and the sense of medievalism that I got from the poem so some of the sketches also include staves and music notes but I didn't figure out how I wanted to incorporate these until I started designing.
Eventually, when I was trying to figure out how to get both music and gold into the design without going overboard, I remembered that medieval liturgical music and Gregorian chant were written in neumatic notation (below).
I chose this Kyrie and decided to mimic its four bars of notation in small gold stylized neumes over the photo of old, monastic-looking wooden stairs I chose for the background (Photo © Rhona Voegele // www.fouroceans.org). I rotated the photo to appear as though the viewer was peering down the top of the spiral.
This is a contemporary American poem and O'Brien is distinguished but not a household name. Taking this into account, the audience for this text is probably familiar with contemporary poetry and reasonably comfortable with the abstract, so I think it's appropriate for the cover to have some mystery and abstraction to it and it's fair to assume that this wouldn't necessarily turn off potential readers.
I ended up with these samples. For some reason I feel like the full white border is best suited to a short poem, but I'm not committed to it. I also like the idea of white text because it kind of subtly references the word "absence" in the title.
Final design:
Though I liked the full white border because of its simplicity, I ultimately chose to take it out because I thought that white text was a nice way to reference absence, and I also felt that by letting the photo take up the whole space, the viewer would have more of a sense of being in the house, which is the feeling I got from the poem's use of the second person.
Feedback/criticism very much appreciated!

As long as the Saints have coach Sean Payton running the show and quarterback Drew Brees throwing the passes, they'll have a potent passing attack. But the receiver position has produced plenty of question marks in training camp, due in large part to injury.
The good news is that Marques Colston finally emerged from the physically unable to perform list on Monday, after missing 10 days of camp with a foot injury. The bad news is that up-and-comer Joe Morgan injured a knee during Saturday's scrimmage, and his status is murky.
Payton didn't disclose much about Morgan on Monday, but Morgan will be getting a second opinion.
Also injured is Andy Tanner, with a shoulder problem.
The situation has resulted in the Saints getting two new receivers, with the arrival of veteran Steve Breaston and the return of Brent Leonard, who was cut last Tuesday.
For now, the Saints need enough bodies to get through the reps of camp and the snaps of the preseason. Eventually, a Week One depth chart will have to shake out. While Colston and Lance Moore remain the likely starters, Morgan's potential absence throws a wrench into the No. 3 position, and some guys without recognizable names will need to step up.
Or maybe they'll just use Jimmy Graham more as a wideout. Which could put him on track for the receiver franchise tag in 2014. Which makes it even more prudent to sign him to a long-term deal now.

Now in development by Rockstar Leeds, the PC version of L.A. Noire will feature keyboard remapping, gamepad functionality, enhanced graphics, and 3D support.
"L.A. Noire is a new type of game that makes players see through a detective's eyes in 1940s Los Angeles," said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. "Its unique blend of story, action, and crime solving will be perfect to play on PC."
In announcing the PC version of L.A. Noire, Rockstar also noted the console versions of the game have shipped 4 million copies worldwide to date. Official sales numbers were not revealed.
Sharkey says: In our review, we noted that L.A. Noire took a page from classic PC franchise Police Quest. While PC gamers were disappointed Red Dead Redemption never made it to their platform, L.A. Noire appears to be well suited for the transition. Looking forward to seeing how this one looks on my rig.

Inevitably one tale calls to mind another. It seems that no sooner have you got one patron safely home to bed than duty demands that you take care of another. There are times when I feel that many of my patrons don't so much need a poet as a nurse!
Still I suspect that from their viewpoint a poet is less expensive and makes no demands on their lifestyle. One will never find your poet demanding you lose weight, drink less or go to bed earlier. Similarly poets do not appear in your bed chamber at some ungodly hour of the morning demanding you 'take exercise.' So all in all I feel that poets are unlikely to be displaced in the affections of our patrons.
But in this case I must confess that it was not the patron who was at fault, but their offspring. I had been invited to…

The problem: The horse resists the rider's request to increase speed into the stop.
Why does this problem happen? Unless there is some physical reason the horse cannot accelerate to the stop, the only reason he doesn't is because he doesn't want to and doesn't respond when his rider asks. This happens because the horse has not been taught to accelerate when the rider asks or possibly because he has been stopped hard too much (he is sour).
How to correct this problem: If my horse does not accelerate in the rundown, the stop will be compromised. His stride will flatten and his weight will be more on the front, which means he will hit the ground hard when he stops. Although I don't want him running like a race horse (he might be thinking more of running than of stopping and ignore me), he must have some acceleration so his shoulders are elevated and his hind legs are well under him. In this position, he is capable of a nice long slide.
Exercise: Since the key to acceleration is to increase speed just a little every two or three strides in the rundown, I want to school my horse that way so that he responds when I ask in the show pen. One of the best ways to do this is to lope lots of straight lines with no stops in training sessions, sometimes asking for accelerated speed, sometimes not. I want my horse to begin to accelerate just a few strides into the rundown but I make sure he is collected and straight before I ask. Then I start riding deeper and deeper in the saddle all the way down the pen and let him run. (This is important – I must allow my horse to run if I am asking him to run!) If he does not increase speed with my body rhythm, I "cluck" to him and back it up with a bump with both legs if he does not respond to the "cluck". Of course I don't want my horse simply running with no collection and his head in the air. If that happens I will fix that first, asking him to give to the bridle and drive with his hind quarters (basic collection). If my horse has been well schooled, I can accomplish that in the first few strides of the rundown.
If I am consistent about this program, it will only take a "cluck" to remind him in the show pen. The object is for him to 1. Wait for me to ask and 2. Believe me when I ask.
Note: Every horse has an optimum acceleration at which he can stop. It's important to know how fast my horse should be running for a smooth, controlled stop. If the horse is not strong enough to stop from a powerful, fast rundown, asking him to do so will surely result in a trashed stop.
A good seat is important to a controlled, accelerated rundown. If I sit on "on my pockets" (not forward), with my shoulders squared and my rein hand forward riding every stride deeper and deeper, I will not only encourage a great rundown but will also be in a great position for the stop.
Note: One thing I see happen is the rider waiting too long to ask for acceleration into the stop. Half way down the pen is too far! As soon as my horse is collected and straight I ask him to increase speed – gradually! (See Stop Fix #3: Correct Break and Run Rundown if increasing speed gradually is a problem).

It hasn't come up during Python's development because Python is being developed in a VCS with very limited branches :) I'm partial to VCS's with proper branching (as you know) and I've been using that mode of development for many years. I've done development and maintenance of multi-developer projects using both the CVS/SVN nonbranching approach and the typical DVCS branch-often approach using BitKeeper, Bazaar and Mercurial (as well as the sort-of one-off-branch Perforce approach where you can easily 'wrap' a single change but can't really do dependant changes) -- and whenever possible I use the branch-often approach with dependant branches all over the place, especially when working on large, complicated changes. Building them up out of separate 'components' requires a little more administration (you have to remember which branch to submit to) but it makes debugging, piecemeal discussion and batchwise integration a *lot* easier. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas at python.org> Hi!

The role of the chief information security officer (CISO) is evolving and expanding every day. What was once considered a side role of the CIO or the admin-focused CSO (who babysat firewalls and such), the CISO today has a much larger responsibility to ensure two key things take place in your organization:
- Block every digital door, window, and entryway.
- In the event something bad gets through those blocks, eradicate it immediately.
To accomplish these goals, the CISO of course needs to be up to date on security technology, both established and new. The CISO must also focus on user training, because people are both a key target and a line of defense against digital intrusions. And the CISO must have a quick-response strategy in play should there be a breach. As one security expert told me, being a good CISO is about prioritizing and using the right "recipe of people, processes, and technology."
Last week, I spoke at the SecureCIO event in Dallas about protecting the front end of your email messaging services (in Exchange or Office 365). The concerns from CISOs in the audience revolved primarily around spear phishing, which is very hard to defend against because it combines technology and social engineering to breach your environment.
My focus was on using cutting-edge technology to provide advanced protection, including against spear-phishing attacks. I believe you need to look closely at third-party tools, and you must layer security from multiple vendors to get that protection. In a Microsoft environment, you would add other vendors' technology atop Exchange's or Office 365's included protections.
The notion of layering tools from multiple providers is not new, but sometimes organizations let budget pressures thwart such wise risk prevention. They use the built-in defenses and cross their fingers.
Technology is essential, but it's no surefire cure. There is a tremendous need to train users to be more alert. The keynote speaker at the event was Kevin Mitnick, the famous hacker who was at one time on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Engineering in such awareness has long been one of his central tenets in advising IT.
Stealing data and infiltrating networks is not that hard
Mitnick did a few demonstrations at the event that scared the bejeebers out of the audience. He showed how he could steal a person's identity within two minutes by simply using his or her name. He pulled up their Social Security numbers from legitimate websites -- one site charged only 50 cents per number -- plus their last 20 years of addresses, driver's license information, birth certificates (which includes mother's maiden name), and more.
It would seem the point is you cannot protect yourself from your information being obtained. But that wasn't Mitnick's goal. Instead, he advocated knowing what can be obtained about you should guide you as what to use instead in your security practices. For example, don't use your mother's maiden name as a security question for credit card information. Instead, use something that wouldn't be in a government or corporate database about you, such as your favorite flavor of ice cream.
Mittnick also showed how he could use spear-phishing attacks to get users to click on links or call numbers that would lead to network infiltration or identity theft.
Security layers to consider adding
This is what the CISO is up against and why the CISO must be ever vigilant.
One tool that Mitnick uses is KnowBe4, which tests users via a white-hat phishing tool to see if they really have learned the lessons and have changed their behavior as a result. That way, you can see how well the training is paying off, and you can see who needs to take it again.
Other technologies I suggest the CISO bring in include DNS security as a new layer of defense. At the same time, I also have warned CISOs to ensure that security systems don't overburden users, which often leads to users working outside the system -- which is very risky.

(Jeff Abbott is a regular contributor at The Pen Addict. You can find more from Jeff online at Draft Evolution and Twitter.)
Pretty much everyone you meet has something negative to say about their own handwriting, no matter how pretty it might be. It's an extension of our personality, and some people take pride in their penmanship. Others may view it as a tool or trade, but it's one of those things that can always be improved. We never "arrive" when it comes to penmanship.
There are several ways to improve your own penmanship, and the most elemental method is simple practice. Write things over and over while slowing down and focusing on the small details of every letter. Turns out, some pens are better for this exercise than others.
That's where the Pilot Penmanship comes into play. This cheap fountain pen features an EF nib from Pilot, which is something you don't see in a lot of fountain pens from the factory. The idea behind a tiny nib is that you have no choice but to slow down and stay relaxed. If you try to press down too hard or go too fast with this pen, it will scratch the page and be uncomfortable.
While using this pen, I enter a different mindset that focuses on each letter. For one, I tend to press down more than I need to when using pens. It's an old habit from my grade school days where we learned to write with giant, ridiculous pencils. With the EF nib, you can't bear down on the nib without it sticking and scratching. What's more, since the line is so small, you have to work harder to keep the nib controlled when writing. Any mistakes are magnified when using this small nib, unlike larger nibs that cover up a lot of small mistakes.
The nib is excellent and a great value considering the sub-$10 price point. Even though the line width from this nib is a touch smaller than my 0.38mm gel pens, it's exceptionally smooth when used correctly. That, my friends, is impressive.
You can also swap this nib into both the Pilot Metropolitan and Prera. I like this grip section quite a bit. The grip is contoured to provide the "correct" finger positions. It's very similar to the Lamy grip section, but a little smaller. Like I've mentioned with Safaris and Al-Stars, if you don't use the "correct" grip, this pen might not be good for you. Besides the frustration of a pen manufacturer trying to impose a particular finger position for a pen, it's a great design that looks and feels good for me. The version I have has a nice "BunguBox" logo on the side, but that's not standard. The barrel is normally completely devoid of all branding.
The cap is comically small, but posts securely to the back of the pen. It has a couple of small red bits that stick out of the sides of the cap to prevent it from rolling around. It looks good when the cap is secured on the closed pen, but the cap looks silly on its own. Fortunately, I don't think this pen was made to win any aesthetic awards.
That being said, this is a great pen if you're looking for something that delivers an exceptionally thin line. You'd be hard pressed to find something this good that comes straight from the factory. Most of the time, you need a nib specialist to do a custom grind on a larger nib to achieve these results.
The Penmanship accepts Pilot cartridges and the CON-20 and CON-50 converters. It also comes in black and clear, so you have that choice as well. Both are a mere $8.25 on JetPens, which is hard to argue with.

Eight Crazy Nights movie review
If Eight Crazy Nights isn't part of your regular holiday movie rotation, it probably should be. Before you pull the trigger, here are a few things to be aware of:
This Movie is Probably Not Appropriate for Young Children
It's a cartoon, so I thought it was important to mention this. I know it's easy to drop kids in front of a cartoon and assume everything is fine (bet my parents didn't know about all the occult stuff happening on He-Man or the homo-erotic stuff on Thundercats), but this is one of those cases where it's important to do some parenting and exercise some judgement While it's possible for adults to put the movie's themes of alcoholism, depression and prejudice against people who look different in its proper context, your kids might end up repeating a few choice words ("shit") or phrases ("Can I walk around with my morning erection?") that you prefer they didn't after watching Eight Crazy Nights. I do think it's perfect for that preteen and young teen crowd – odds are, they know all those words and phrases already anyway.
I Found a Musical I Like!
People sing in this movie and I enjoy it – who knew such a thing was possible? The songs are witty, hilarious and well-arranged. I particularly enjoy "Technical Foul," but there are other songs worth hearing. Not only that, but it's an Adam Sandler movie I like – this truly is the season of miracles!
Relentless Product Placement? Check!
It just wouldn't be an Adam Sandler movie without relentless product placement, and Eight Crazy Nights is no exception. There are over 20 different products either seen, mentioned or used by the characters, from stores at the mall to what the characters were actively displaying in scenes. Ka-ching!
Just for Giggles:
If you ever want to read a poorly written Wikipedia page, then Eight Crazy Nights might be the page for you. Check this out:
Davey Stone, the antagonistic protagonist. As a child, he was a professional basketball player with a nice heart.
So… he was a professional basketball player as a child. In a children's league, which was officiated by a volunteer whose legs were too small to keep up with kids. Professional basketball player. Gotcha. Oh, and with a 'nice' heart. Not 'a heart made of gold' or 'a good heart,' but the rarely used 'a nice heart' expression. Swish!
"Can I walk around with my morning erection?"

The Abstract
Around October we start digging into trigonometry in Pre Cal. The way curriculum is structured here, this is the first time they really play with sin/cos/tan outside of a brief exposure in Geometry. Once upon a time trigonometry was a foundation of Algebra II, but not anymore. It starts with the unit circle and moves into graphs. I present an image similar to this:
We discuss what we see. Are there any trends? I show them another bill from about 9 months later. Does this appear to be predictable? Almost always someone will point out that the summer months are much higher because you're running the air conditioner. Then we make some jokes about the weather in Texas (weather jokes, they're great!). Next, I have them peak at their unit circle and plot the points associated with sin/cos for various angles around the circle. We compare the result to the power bills we were looking at. At this point we discuss amplitude and period and I assign them a graphing task.
The assignment is to draw at least two periods of their given function, identifying the amplitude and period. This year's version of the taks doesn't look much different than last year's. My intent was to add a more in depth writing component and to require them to overlay their new function on top of the parent function. However, a few things conspired against this project and it got rushed. My initial day for conducting the poster portion got pushed and I wasn't at school for a couple days immediately after, so the result suffered a bit. Now, the results were still good but there's room for improvement. So that inspired what came next.
The Relevant
So graphing sin/cos waves (and as a supplement, tangent waves) is great and all. But something gets lost when you're marking an x-axis with numbers in terms of pi. What does that mean? Nobody thinks in terms of pi. In our discussion of these functions, I always mention the high-voltage power lines that run near the school. In the right weather conditions you can hear them hum. I ask if any of them have noticed. This leads to a discussion about how electricity works, AC/DC, why their phone has this huge power brick, etc. Then we talk about sound. I pull up a tone generator (only seems to like Firefox).
If I mess with the volume, what aspect am I changing? If I adjust the frequency, what aspect am I changing? What's the highest frequency you can hear? Why can you hear 18kHz, but I can't? What's the lowest frequency we can hear? So, that's how dog whistles work? It was an interesting discussion. I tune it to 60Hz so they can hear how electricity "sounds." We make some connections to physics, as these words get thrown around in there too. One or two of them might realize that there might be something to this science stuff.

It's not a secret that I enjoy dressing my kids. Well, actually let me rephrase that; I enjoy picking out clothes for them to wear. (Isabelle is incredibly wriggly making dressing her both difficult and not particularly enjoyable!)
However, I'm a firm believer in the idea that you can dress kids nicely without having to spend a mint (after all they grow so fast!) For this reason I really enjoy the 'boy style' posts that Kristin of Hello Fallow does.
This also fits with the Mend and Make New philosophy – that being on a budget/ trying to be frugal doesn't mean that you should just have to 'make do'; and for this reason I decided to do a little 'kid style' post of my own!
Noah wears: glasses – Specsavers; t-shirt – Ralph Lauren (cough, cough) thrifted ($2); shorts – made by me; brown leather sandals – the warehouse (on sale for $5.50)
Isabelle wears: Peter Rabbit dress/top – thrifted ($1.50) I just love that scalloped hem! ; lace edged leggings – T & T ($4 on sale.)
Isabelle's dress/top thing and Noah's T-shirt were purchased in a recent trip to two of my local op-shops.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't influenced somewhat to buy the T-shirt by the fact that it is Ralph Lauren. And although in some instances a label can indicate that something is well made/ great quality – (I find this with country road clothes); in the case of a toddler's T-shirt this doesn't seem to make any difference. But the boy does suit stripes.
The rest of the op shop haul included the following:
The two items on the edge have already been discussed and the remaining three were picked up for $1.50 each.
I'm a sucker for smocked dressed and think that the little gingham dress is pretty cute too. (It's size 3 so wont be worn for a while though!)
8 x more wooden coat hangers to make some more of these as gifts. At $6 total this is probably a little overpriced, but oh well.
… And last but not least an 'Anything Jar' (in case you can't read what it says) – this is currently housing my sewing threads/cottons.
Quite a productive trip if I can say so myself!
Found any good op-shop bargains lately!

Want wicked sales figures? Try the following 30 ways to market your company in October!
1. Team up for a cause
Team with a cause-based nonprofit to promote their cause on your posters, flyers and direct-mail marketing campaigns. Doing so can help you gain access to their list and brand your company. October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month and National Diabetes Month, among others.
2. Be sarcastic
October is also Sarcastic Month, so be sarcastic at your competitors' expense! You might send a postcard with an obviously sarcastic statement that highlights the benefits of buying from you.
3. Place a sticker on your car
If you don't have your brand on your car, the anniversary of the day the Ford Model T went on sale (Oct. 1) is a good time to start.
4. Perform a public service
Take a Saturday to rake leaves for seniors or clean litter from a park. Make sure you print a banner to place near the street wherever you're working. Send pictures to local media and post videos on social media.
5. Sponsor an event
Haunted houses, corn field mazes, campfire cookouts and other events dominate the Halloween season. Your company can sponsor events to get your name out – and make sure everyone goes home with your business card, brochure or coupon.
6. Come and Take It Day
Oct. 6 is Come and Take It Day, and you can use it as an opportunity to promote a special sale. Tell customers to "come and take it."
7. Oktoberfest beer tasting
You and other merchants could work together to host a beer tasting event for Oktoberfest. Print flyers, posters and banners to promote your event; make sure everyone leaves with your brochure and other marketing materials.
8. Smile contest
Host a smile contest on social media platforms for your customers for World Smile Day on Oct. 7, then give the winner a cool prize.
9. Sweetest Day promotions
Launch a promotion for Sweetest Day (Oct. 23), especially if your product or service can cater to gifting couples.
10. Get a festival booth
From Oktoberfest to Halloween crafts, October is a great month for finding festivals and trade shows you can use as platforms to get your name out there.

Started in Derby 01/2015
Joined Storm City 10/2015
What is the significance of your derby name and number? Zoonotic diseases are diseases that can pass between animals and people. They include not so fun things like, GI parasites ("worms"), cat scratch fever, and rabies. Good parasite control and vaccinations can prevent many of these diseases. Take care of your pets!
What do you do when you are not skating? I moonlight as a veterinarian… and now my derby name makes sense!
Who is your derby crush/hero? Elicia Nisbet-Smith on Wheels of Justice. She is an amazing blocker and I am quite envious of her perfect lipstick at every bout.
What is the best advice you would give to someone who wants to join derby? Derby is an amazingly accepting community! Slim, curvy, tall, short, athletic, uncoordinated, young, not-so-young, derby doesn't care. Everyone is just so excited to have more people interested in the sport. Don't let your insecurities prevent you from lacing up your skates. Derby wants you!!!
If you had six months with no obligations or financial constraints, what would you do with the time? I am a total history nerd! I would read (more than I already do) and travel the world, going to museums, visiting landmarks, and taking walking tours. Anything World War Two related would be at the top of my list.
Three interesting/ random facts about yourself:
My addiction: Lipstick.
My cure all: Hot Yoga.
My secret ingredient in perfect chocolate chip cookies: I'll never tell.

Our Family Room
love and blessings~
The new/old rug looks great in the room paired with the neutral furniture! Love the ottoman! ~RhondaReplyDelete
Thank you, Rhonda! I'm really happy that it matches now and I can use it!Delete
Hi Lynda! Oh, your rug looks gorgeous in here. I love the softness and it blends beautifully with your furniture.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Thank you, Shelia!Delete
What a pretty new/old rug. Glad you didn't sell it. It looks amazing in your room, pulling the blue to the floors well.
Our jute rug ended up in the garage :)
Happy weekend!!!
Thanks, Gee! I'm so glad too. I have another jute rug that is great. I'm sorry you got a bad one too.Delete
I love the rug change up that you did. the new larger one looks feminine, soft, and very French. I think it looks perfect in there. I like the natural one in the foyer too. I think they both fit the size of the space just right. Your living room is beautiful!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, Kelly! I had been looking for a couple of months for new ones for both rooms. I'm so happy that I already had the perfect solution! Thanks for commenting!Delete
I, too, love the rug change.
You also helped me make a decision on a sofa I want to purchase. I know white is so popular now for sofas and chairs...I have tried so hard to think I would like a white sofa.....still, when I look at furniture stores, the gorgeous grays make me swoon. I am going today and possible buy the gray one I've been drooling over for several weeks...I love your neutral furniture color.....
Thanks so much, BJ! I'm so glad this helped you! I love the white sofas too and like I mentioned in my post - for a while I had this room all slipcovered in white. But I'm much happier with this look too. So many homes in Blogland have the white and it's easy to get impressed by how beautiful their homes look. We just each have to find our own style and it took me a while too!
love and blessings~
Oh this is absolutely beautiful!!! I love that rug, it looks great in the room.
Blessings, Candy
Hurray! Thank you, Candy!Delete
Your rug is classic and beautiful--love your living room and the soft hues. I had a seagrass rug that was a dirt collector, too. Yours looks mighty handsome in the foyer. Enjoy your weekend.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, Michael Lee! (And I vote "more trim!") :) I hope you have a great weekend too!Delete
If we could only figure out which jute rugs do this shedding before we buy them! I like the wool rug in this room better. The size seems to set the room off and it's beautiful!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Linda! I agree-I have another rug that doesn't shed but now I'm afraid to buy another jute rug. And, of course, now I don't need to. Thanks for commenting!Delete
I absolutely love the new rug in your living room, it adds a touch of understated elegance! The jute rug is definitely better suited to the foyer and really looks like it belongs there, hopefully the shedding won't be too bad.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Diva! At least if it sheds it's on ceramic tile, which will still be bad, but won't damage the floor. Thanks for your kind comment!Delete
I think it is beautiful with your furnishings. While it does change the look a bit, it is a wonderful one.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Wendy! I've decided I really like it. All the kind comments helped!
love and blessings~
Simply beautiful. Colors and size are perfect. Looks so nice with your furniture and window shutters. It really was the crowning touch. It's such a good feeling when an older purchase can take on new life again.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Connie! I'm so glad I didn't get rid of it!Delete
Lynda your room is beautiful and I love the rug. I tried to pin but it won't let me. Feeling a bit sorry for the dirt rug but I think it looks great in the foyer. What a lovely place to be scorned and rejected in! LisaDelete
Thank you, Lisa! I don't know why it wouldn't pin? Sorry! The dirt rug and I have 'made up.' I think it's doing a good job at the front door! Thanks for visiting and commenting - you made me laugh!Delete
The new rug is gorgeous. The room is very pretty.ReplyDelete
It's a beautiful rug - in a beautiful room
I think it looks absolutely perfect - and I even love how the jute rug looks in the entry way !
Thank you, Suzan!Delete
I think it's gorgeous, Lynda! I love a good thick rug to sink your toes into. I like the look of jute, but I think they're a little scratchy and I've always thought our cats would chew them to pieces. Love your new look with the beautiful rug!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, Debra! I agree with you completely. This is so much softer!Delete
Lynda, that rug looks perfect! So light and pretty. I love QVC!
It's so unfortunate that your rug sheds so much, but it's funny that you are mad at it!
Thanks for sharing at Something to Talk About!
Thank you, Karen! Yeah, I don't think they should make a rug out of dirt. haha ;)Delete
It's truly a win~wind, dear friend!!!
Love the hue!!!
What's old is new, again!!!
Thanks so much, Pat! You are always so sweet and kind.Delete
Yes! The French rug is stunning and I love it in your living room, it looks so elegant and yes, why not, more formal and gorgeous!
Win, win all over. I love this kind of decorating, when old is new. The jute is just right at the entrance, specially for dirty shoes, lol..
Thank you so much, Fabby! I am happy with the changes! :)Delete
Hi Lynda,
Good move with the rugs. I like the French rug in your living room...and the jute rug at the entry! Both look great where they are.
As the french would say...C'est si bon! And we both seem to love blue and white china ware. Visiting from Cindy's Dwellings.
Sheila E.
Thanks so much for visiting, Shelia, and for your kind comments!Delete
Hi Lynda,
Nice little makeover that added a different look to your room! I love it when I already have an item on hand that can be swapped out to change up a room. Thanks for sharing and linking up on Talented Tuesday. Hope you are having a great day!
the new/old rug looks perfect in there! Funny how changing things up makes the old look better.ReplyDelete
The love your rug. I was a big fan of Royal Palace and bought many of their rugs over the years. I will be featuring this tonight at my Sizzle into Summer party that opens at 8pm EST tonight. Please stop by and pick up an I've Been Featured button. Thanks. http://diybydesign.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Thanks so much, DIY!Delete
Win win indeed! I have three of those natural fiber rugs. One that I bought separately from the other two is just like yours. It is just a hot mess. The other two are fine. ???
I hope you are enjoying every inch of summer.
Thanks so much! I hope you are too!Delete
you have a lovely home and this drug is gorgeous too. I invite you to share at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop ( you can link up through Saturday at midnight.) Hugs!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Katherine!Delete
Your room is beautiful. That rug looks quite perfect in there. Too bad about the "dirt" rug...lol. That would be frustrating to keep up with. It looks good in the foyer.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Liz! The 'dirt' rug is doing well in the foyer. I've decided it must be a male rug as it's made out of dirt and girls 'would never.' Thanks for visiting!Delete
Hi Lynda! First time on your blog and I`m your new follower!
Your French rug is beautiful!! It makes your room so much better and it looks just right in there!
If you like, you can find me at my blog Home Chic Club: http://vesna-kreativnostidrugesitnice.blogspot.com/
Thank you, Vesna! Heading over to your blog!Delete
So beautiful! But I can't take my eyes off of your gorgeous chairs either!!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Julie! You can see how I redid them - they're on the side bar.Delete
Such a pretty addition to your room! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Sherry!Delete

Sitka has announced a new sales strategy that does away with traditional pre-books and moves to a platform offering multiple capsule programs and staples available throughout the year. Press release below:
Sitka, the surf, skate and outdoor goods company based on Vancouver Island, is transitioning to a new business model that breaks the traditional pre-book model of the apparel industry. Sitka's Perpetual Program offers multiple capsule collections throughout the year, while making staple Sitka styles available on a continuous, year-round basis.
Created with feedback from some of the company's key retail partners, the Sitka Perpetual Program is based on immediate availability throughout the entire year. Seasonal product is shown and made available when it's ready to ship, ensuring retailers have product arriving when they need it and can reorder at their convenience.
Sitka's approach to the wholesale model is designed to help grow and streamline business for both the company and its retail partners. It recognizes that there is increasing demand from consumers to have the products they want available at any time, and the Perpetual Program makes this possible at the retail level. Through shifting more of Sitka's production to domestic factories, the company is gaining better control over the production schedule. The Sitka Perpetual Program provides retailers with the product they need when they need it – not when the traditional seasonal cycle says they should have it.
The move to work with more Canadian-based factories comes not only as part of the decision to gain better control over their production schedule, but also as part of Sitka's efforts to support local economies and produce goods in a more sustainable way. This is part of the company's commitment to the environment, which it recently solidified by joining 1% For the Planet. As of July 2014, 1% of Sitka's gross sales is being donated to non-profit environmental groups, including Pacific Wild and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
Sitka knows that any transition can be a challenge, but the company remains committed to providing better products to their valued customers in an improved and simplified way. For more information on Sitka's business model, please visit sitka.ca/mission.

3fiftysix media is a boutique marketing, design and photographic agency, offering clients sophisticated marketing communication solutions to help secure today and prepare for tomorrow.
3fiftysix media – personal, creative, innovative and structured solutions that add value to your business. For today and fit for tomorrow.
3fiftysix media exists to provide clients with marketing and visual media consultancy to deliver structured marketing and creative communications across the digital and print media spectrum.
Our key solutions are:
Attentive, committed, dynamic, friendly and determined to excel. We believe that we live these in our vision, mission and values.
The 3fiftysix media concept was born from an inspirational athletic performance by Chris O'Hare, a young British athlete in which he ran a mile indoors in a time of 3 minutes and 56 seconds. The performance, ranked 4th in the world, was the fastest indoors by a British Athlete in 2011 and the 2nd fastest ever by a Scot. This performance, whilst noteworthy, was simply a milestone in a journey of continuous improvement underpinned by absolute determination to achieve the best possible objective. A commitment to such milestones is supported by an infrastructure of supportive team members in a dynamic and progressive environment.
3fiftysix media's visual identity encompasses all of these principles in its design concept. Our typeface is 'Roboto' which is a clear, bold and precise typestyle reproduced in solid black giving maximum contrast and strength of character. 3fiftysix represents a world-class performance at a point in time. It is merely a strong platform from which to improve. Nothing more, nothing less. The hyphen represents a baton, passed from one team member to another facilitating greater team results. It also indicates that the 'media' solution is raised 'above the bar.'
In 2013 Chris O'Hare became British Champion, broke the indoor Scottish & NCAA records for the mile and 1500m, ran 3:35 for 1500m and reached the final of the 1500m at the 14th IAAF World Championships in Moscow, Russia, In this same period 3fiftysix media has gone from strength to strength, delivering very significant 'return on marketing investment' to its clients through our determined and friendly application of our principles.
Location - Local, national, international, we'd be happy to have a chat to see how we can help you with your marketing and communications challenges.
