SALEM - Remodeling is already under way as the Wing Warehouse transforms into JD's Wood Fired Grill.
Bobbi Smith, general manager and head chef, said the Wing Warehouse will close on March 9 and reopen on March 15 when the switch over is finalized.
It was just a few years ago Jamie Kessler purchased the building at 441 S. Ellsworth Ave. and changed it to a Wing Warehouse.
Smith, who will be returning to Salem with over 20 years experience in the restaurant business, has been with Kessler since 2005 when she left the Hickory Rib after seven years.
She has put her time in at Timberlanes Restaurant and Motor Inn, Dawson's in Alliance and at the Congress Lake Country Club in Hartville, before being named general manager and head chef at JD's.
Preparations have been ongoing for a over a year for Smith who has created "a compilation of many dishes that have a very unique flavor profile."
Kessler, who retains ownership of Wing Warehouses in Warren and Norton, said, "JD's Wood Fired Grill will be a unique dining experience from the homemade fine rolls served with cinnamon burgers to the handmade burgers and steaks. There will be something for everyone on the menu."
Customers have already noticed neon signs, photos and old decorations disappear as preparations for the big renovation push begins.
Smith said the wood floor will be "ripped out" and replaced with all-new tile while new paint, tables, booths and a number of flat-screen televisions will be added.
The restaurant has a seating capacity for 207 people and when the remodeling is complete there will be 11 televisions and three Keno monitors.
The rear patio will receive a new treatment with new furniture and the "tiki hut" will be removed in the spring.
A new, oval front door will greet customers, Smith said, adding, "once you hit the front door, you're going to know it's different."
The pool table and dart tossing area will remain and three new booths will be installed in the back.
Smith said a remodeled kitchen is being built to showcase the new wood-fired grill on which steaks, burgers, chicken and sandwiches will be cooked. The grill is the first indoor wood-fired grill in Salem.
"The wood-fired grill provides a unique flavor," Smith said. "It gives meat a special taste."
All of that taste will be found on a four-page menu that includes fresh-baked rolls, prime rib, ribeye, triple prime burgers, chicken dishes and wraps.
Smith mentioned a dish called a Del Monico steak sandwich served with caramelized red onions and mushroom caps. It will be highlighted on the menu, she said.
JD's will specialize in triple prime hand-crafted burgers made daily and hand-cut steak and prime rib will accompany a variety of wood-fired chicken dinners on the menu including one that Smith called "our trademark bourbon-glaze."
The trademark glaze is a burger condiment too.
"We also have fresh soup made daily, some of Salem's finest," Smith said, adding there is a large assortment of salad, sandwiches, wraps and appetizers for everyone.
Currently employing seven, Kessler expects increase that to 20 or 30 full- and part-time employees.
Kitchen hours will be from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Sunday.
The full-service bar is open until 2:30 a.m. each night.

It took Calvert a little while to get going, but once it did, the rout was on.
After shooting 3 for 13 and clinging to an 11-10 lead after the first quarter, the Senecas started hitting their shots, and putting distance between themselves and Buckeye Central.
Calvert led 26-18 at the half, then used a spurt at the beginning of the third quarter to cruise to a 61-36 win over the Buckettes.
"I don't know what it was, we really didn't come out and execute in the beginning," Calvert coach Tim Ritzler said. "We missed a lot of shots that we should have had, especially early in the game. In the second half, we started making some of those."
Calvert started the second half well. Leading by eight, the Senecas forced back-to-back turnovers, which Kate Brickner converted into layups. Then, after another stop, Calvert's Sam Beckley buried a jumper. The Senecas led, 32-38.
"We gave up three quick baskets, and against a team like that, well-coached, play well, very fundamental, you just can't give up that many points or that many easy baskets," Buckeye Central coach Sarah Krichbaum said. "That kind of set the tone."

Brickner led all scorers with 21 points, while Nicole Bickley had nine points to go with five rebounds. Taylor Ritzler added seven points.
"Everybody got going," Ritzler said. "Kate started hitting some of those short jumpers, started getting to the hoop and finishing with the layups, we started getting more people involved. I think we had 10 people score tonight, and it was, once we got the lead, got settled down into the game and just relaxed everybody, everybody started playing the way they're capable of playing."
Emily Weithman led the Buckettes with 11 points and seven rebounds, while Sammi Marcum added seven points.
Buckeye Central started strong on the boards, collecting 13 in the first quarter. But it was out-rebounded 13-6 in the second. Calvert ended up winning rebounding, 40-33.
"All around as a team, I think we need to be more aggressive on the boards, and more aggressive in general," Krichbaum said. "We're getting there, it's just a process."
Buckeye Central fell to 3-11.
As for Calvert, it will be back in action Thursday, when it travels to Carey for a key Midland Athletic League clash with the Blue Blue Devils.
Calvert (11-4 overall) sports a 6-0 MAL mark, while Carey stands at 5-1.
"We have a tendency to play to the level of our competition," Ritzler said. "We played Woodward last Tuesday, didn't play real well against them, Buckeye this week - record-wise they're not that good but they have a nice team.
"Against Hopewell(-Loudon) last Thursday, we came out right in the beginning and played well almost the entire game ... I think it was our best game of the year" Ritzler said. "Hopefully, maybe Carey will bring out the best in us, the way I'm sure we'll bring out the best in them, being a big MAL game."

"Good for ear ticks in alpacas"
Works well for alpacas with ear ticks. If I see an alpaca with an ear "down", I spray it in the ear and massage it in (alpacas like that!), and usually the ear is up in a day or 2.
"Great Product!!"
I use this stuff when all other fly products don't work.You squirt a little in your hand and rub it on the effected area. It usually lasts well over a week. In the long run you actually save money by using this as you don't have to re-apply it very often. I have a horse with blue eyes and the flies tend to love leaving eggs in there. Even with a fly mask she still has trouble. This product saves her. No more rubbing her eyes due to fly irritation.
"Dog ears"
GREAT spray for dogs' ears that flies are biting! Keeps the biting flies away and helps heal the ears up if the tips are already bloody.

Cubs and Giants Split a Pair at Indian School Park
Kevin Encarnacion led-off the game with a double and scored on a Justin Marra triple to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning, Dong-Yub Kim and Xavier Batista stroked back-to-back doubles to plate one run in the 5th and then Encarnacion drove-home Batista with a two-out RBI single for the Cubs second run of the inning, and Jacob Rogers doubled and scored on a Jesse Hodges RBI single in the 6th, as one squad of Cubs defeated one squad of Giants 4-2 on Field #1, and Fernando Pujadas singled twice, doubled, and scored a run, Rando Moreno tripled and singled and drove-in two runs, and Luis Pino and four relievers combined to toss a three-hit shutout, as the other squad of Giants blanked the other squad of Cubs 4-0 on Field #2, in a Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader played this morning at Indian School Park in Scottsdale, AZ.
Ex-Cubs minor league RHRP Arturo Maltos-Garcia threw a 1-2-3 9th inning (F-8, K, P-2) for the Giants on Field #1. Maltos-Garcia and Austin Urban were JUCO pitchers selected by the Cubs in the 2011 draft who were given "over-slot" bonuses to sign, but who subsequently missed considerable time rehabbing from injuries (Maltos-Garcia from June 2011 TJS and Urban from 2011 back surgery). Both pitchers were unceremoniously released by the Cubs after throwing just one "live" BP session at Minor League Camp in March, and now both have signed with other MLB organizations (Maltos-Garcia with SF, and Urban with BAL).

It's definitely hard to get excited about this team. When they suck like this it feels like a huge part of my summer is just completely missing, so I want to come here and get a little bit of a Cubs fix, but lately it's 100% split squad games at Fitch Park. I can't stand any of the major newspapers' coverage, and I really don't like BCB or any of the other Cubs blogs. I guess I just miss the good old days with 200+ comment threads, even if 90% of it was just The Real Neal arguing with himself.
The people demand more free entertainment, Rob G!
all kidding aside, this team
all kidding aside, this team really has been running on a single bright spot (the starting rotation) and rizzo pounding the ball hard when he's not slumping (and his extension)
welly's doing as expected (though a few more homers/doubles would be nice)...valbuena is helping people forget about i.stewart, though he's not doing anything extraordinary...kevin gregg has been a nice surprise as the new closer...castro is being castro, though a few more walks or hits would be nice since he's performing slightly below expectations...
things are just kinda "wheel spinning" and playing out as expected with few high spots or extreme low spots. it would be nice to see s.baker take the mound some time, though.
I imagine that things will
I imagine that things will pick up a bit with the draft, promotions, and trades. It seems that most of the remaining posters are on board with the rebuilding process so the discussions have been slim.
I actually enjoy this team
I actually enjoy this team much more than last years squad. My twtw(the will to watch) is up 25%-30% from last year. If it wasn't for the shit bullpen, this team would be totally average! If they could dump E. Jax and his entire salary and replace him with one of the college arms, then we are on to something. Make a trade for Price, which I don't see happening, and you've got yourself a fantastic rotation.

I'm not sure how to get very angry with all the bad baseball anymore. Too many years of ineptitude and suckage. I think Sveum is pushing all the wrong buttons so far this year but he's not having a worse year than the team in general or at least he's not having a good managerial season. Tuesday he goes to a bullpen of Rondon, Russell, The Cubs "Big Toe" Shawn Camp and produce a 5 run 6th which ruins a fine start from Garza. Wednesday Sveum doesn't have to think much about the pitching but can't get his offense off the toilet. Today EJax does his typical thing and would have gone 5-6 mediocre IP except for the rain and then the bullpen has a rare good day of Dolis, Villaneuva, Marmol, Fuji pitch 5 scoreless innings. If he could only mix and match a bit better the Cubs could be watchable (but I'm only asking for 1-2 decent games out of 3 at this point). So how is the 2014 draft shaping up? ...and yes, the next big thing will be the 2013 draft followed by the trading deadline.

so far, when i hear jim d. calling a game it feels like he's a national "game of the week" generic type announcer that doesn't know the team well.
he's a full-on 100% replacement for "bad joke bob" type humor, though.

i'm just used to bob knowing
i'm just used to bob knowing a lot more about the team...noticing when someone is off their swing or a pitch and recalling when he's been better...comparative analysis of what was done in the past vs what's going on now. it's not like i pine for the days of bob vs aram...because that got old, but bob really dug down in his analysis of players without getting preachy or doing "i'm steve stone and here's how he could be perfect" type analysis.
bob also seemed to not only know who was in the minors, but how they were doing down there beyond the numbers and would talk about them.
jim d. is still getting to know the team and all, but a lot of game calling feels like he's calling a Fox or ESPN "game of the week" from a disconnected point of view.
i'm not ready to "turn" on him...he may need some more time to actually get used to the team and he's comfortable behind the mic. i just feel like he's not "connected" to the team yet.

bob hangs out at the extended spring training fields talking about kids coming up in AZ's system...not just the AAA/AA or rehab guys. dude just immerses himself in the game. he's slid right back into AZ's booth proper.
i have full faith that JD will come around and become more familiar with the team.

YES! This totally means that I am a social butterfly! Don't you see me fluttering around from hot spot to hot spot? More like #SMBME to #METweetUp to charity 5ks and Open Houses.
All kidding aside, the real estate industry has TOTALLY changed. When I got my license almost 6 years ago, the market was just about to burst and begin its downward spiral of change, change, change! All I could do was adjust, keep up and most importantly, GET CREATIVE!
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend an afternoon seminar called The Social Connection put on by The Boston Globe. It was about the importance of Social Media and Real Estate and the fine line between selling and being insightful. Too often we see business' SELL SELL SELL on facebook and twitter and what do we as consumers do? We block, unfollow or dislike them. Who wants to go onto a fun social media outlet where many people catch up with family or high school friends and just get sold stuff all the time? As business owners, or in my case, real estate professionals, we've got to keep our posts insightful, educational and fun! In order for me to keep growing my business, I need to be top of mind with my friends and the community. If I get blocked, that won't happen.
The keynote speaker was Matthew Shadbolt (@Corcoran_Group) from the Corcoran Group in New York. The biggest points I took from him were "Helpful stories always win and you need to OWN THE NEWS FEED"! I totally think that my helpful stories can be about real estate; however, not about helping people buy one of my listings. However, switching it up and letting people know about great community events is always good too!
Another thing that Matthew said was that the future is not necessarily going to be about the box sitting on our desks, but the device we hold in our hand or in our pocket. Tell me that's not a change from 6 years ago!? Back then (sounds like so long ago, MEH!) the laptop was HOT! HOT! HOT! Now, it's the smart phone and iPad. This all tells me that I still need to keep up and stay creative because technology, along with the market, is still changing at a pace that can totally sweep you off your feet if you don't pay attention.
I love social media. I really think that I have found a great balance with my posts. I try to keep our fan page, The Cohen-Tracy Team, fun and helpful to all that "like" us and my personal page is pretty much just that, personal. I do promote my business sometimes; however, its really about keeping in touch with friends. Yesterday really brought me back to my #SMBME blog post about listening and being human. As complicated as social media sounds, its really quite simple: don't sell and be insightful.

I may not be a long-time veteran in the journalism business, but I've done enough years of reporting to know when a bad interview takes place.
Sometimes a reporter just likes to hear him - or herself talk, so a question is delivered after a minute or two of meandering commentary. Other scenarios: an interview goes too short or too long for anything meaningful. The possibilities are endless.
This past Friday afternoon, I found a new way to conduct a bad interview: be completely out of breath after trying an intense workout program.
"So...(gasp) how long...(gasp) have you...(gasp) been doing this?" I asked BLAST900 instructor Joey Welling between gulps of air.
All first-time visitors of the new program in Mount Pleasant at 1440 Ben Sawyer Blvd. receive a complimentary first class. As a guy who likes to stay in shape and has a lingering hope that the Charlotte Bobcats will cut all their awful players and give me a shot at joining the NBA, I decided to give the program a try.
What could go wrong?
"About five to 10 people have thrown up," Welling said, estimating a year's average. "Surprisingly, no one has fallen off (the treadmills). I have (fallen off), when I put my foot up and forget that it's still running."
I laughed. Then gasped for more air.
I've done P90x – just the workouts – twice and this is on par and it can even be considered more intense than that. Granted, it doesn't have to be. BLAST900 is arranged by motivating trainers to be insanely difficult or just a solid workout. People with all kinds of workout experience and goals will benefit.
I chose the more insane route. In doing so, I suffered for days when squatting down in any capacity. But, it's the great sore feeling. Nothing is injured – just a tight sensation in all my major muscle areas. That's what I was looking for, and that's what I got.
Classes change regularly as trainers mix up exercises to give newbies and program members plenty of variety. Participants go from treadmills to equipment on the floor working legs, core, arms, shoulders, back, biceps, triceps and well, you get the point.
The treadmills have incline ranges from -three percent to 30 percent. You can walk, jog or run. The instructor, in my case Welling, calls out suggested speeds for each group. For example, runners may be recommended for 11.0 speeds, joggers at 9.5 and walkers at 7.0 when doing the sprint portions.
And on the floor, my Friday workout comrades and I performed pushups, squats, overhead lifts, tricep dips, bicep curls, planking and more. The class lasted an hour and featured blocks of going from treadmill to the floor and back over and over again. We started with five-minute segments until the final two sessions – one treadmill and one floor – went for 10 minutes each.
Welling said those who choose the runners' path of the BLAST900 workout can burn 600-900 calories in the one-hour session. Joggers can expect 400-800 and walkers range from about 250-600.
Welling, a graduate of The Citadel, has been an instructor with BLAST900 for about a year. He's been involved in personal training for two and a half years.
A certified strength and conditioning specialist with the NSCA, Welling attended high school at Bishop England.
He endorsed participants using the company's nutritionist, who will examine eating habits, make a detailed plan and even go grocery shopping with clients to help them stick to the outlined strategy.
The program can be a source of cardio and strength training, or it can be used to its fullest extent: a life-changing combination of workouts, nutrition and regular monitoring of other healthy habits.
Participants can receive an extensive profile from the company including assessments of maximal oxygen consumption, strength and flexibility, according to Blast900.com. This way, a goal isn't shotgunned out to everyone; strategies for desired results are personalized.
The two most important lessons I learned were: I need to lead a healthier lifestyle and I have no business conducting interviews after a workout.

A Dardanelle man convicted of beating his 71-year-old mother to death with a shovel has been sentenced to life in prison.
A jury in Johnson County recommended the life sentence Thursday for 49-year-old Tommy Bowden. A day earlier, the jury convicted him of first-degree murder in the January death of his mother, Julie Richardson.
The Southwest Times Record reports that Bowden's attorney, Michael Robbins, sought a lesser sentence, saying his client's actions were a result of mental illness.
A psychiatrist testified for the defense that Bowden suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, but prosecutors argued that Bowden should be held responsible for his actions.
Prosecutors played an audio recording of Bowden's interview with police in which Bowden admitted breaking into his mother's home in Hagarville and beating her to death.

Several Vietnam veterans from Seneca County celebrated Veterans' Day a few weeks early as part of a special Honor Flight Oct. 23. In his will, a World War II veteran anonymously donated money specifically for Vietnam veterans to visit the Vietnam War Memorial and other sites in Washington, D.C.
Reineke Ford of Tiffin donated the use of a van to transport the local veterans from Tiffin to Toledo. The group included Richard Hosang, Dennis Miller, Peter Ringle, Harold Schank and Charles Yaney of Tiffin; Buddy Schwab of Old Fort; Robert Dendinger and Robert Swartzmiller of Bellevue; Clifford and Ron Martin of Attica; and Norbert Phillips of Norwalk.
Dendinger said his friend Norb Phillips told him about the Vietnam flight and convinced him to sign up. Dendinger had seen the traveling Wall in Sandusky and Tiffin, but he wanted to see the original in Washington.

Ten men from Seneca County and one from Huron County prepare to board an Oct. 23 Honor Flight specifically for Vietnam veterans at the Toledo Airport.
"It was nothing like I thought it would be going down there," Dendinger said. "It really hits you. These around here were nice, but they just didn't get the feeling that you had down there."
At the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, known by many as simply "The Wall," he was able to find the name of a friend from Bellevue whose remains were brought home the day Dendinger got back. Also, he met up with a former schoolmate, Bud Schwab, who had been in his wedding. An Army veteran, Dendinger served 1967-68 in Vietnam.
"I was anywhere south of Saigon, clear down to the Mekong Delta and over to the Cambodian border," he said. "I was a specialist 1st class in an artillery unit, 155 self-propelled Howitzers."
Fact Box
Honor Flights for 2012 have concluded, but veterans can learn more and sign up for future trips at www.honorflightnwo.org.
Although World War II veterans are given priority, applications from Korean War and Vietnam-era veterans are being accepted. The flights are to continue as long as funding and volunteers are available.
Honor Flight is a nationwide non-profit organization with chapters nationwide. It is funded by donations and operated by volunteers who give their time and pay their own way to accompany veterans who need assistance. Veterans travel free of charge for a one-day visit to Washington. D.C.
Guardians and volunteers are needed for each Honor Flight, and applications can be found, respectively, at www.honorflightnwo.org/guardian.asp or www.honorflightnwo.org/volunteer.asp.
In 2011, the Flag City Honor Flight chapter was founded in Findlay. The group's mailing address is P.O. Box 885, Findlay, OH 45840. Its website is www.flagcityhonorflifgt.org and email is email@example.com.
Although Dendinger was disappointed at not being able to buy souvenirs, he was pleased with a commemorative book and photos he received to take home. When the group got a bit behind schedule, a motorcycle police escort showed up to get them back to the airport on time.
"That was the highlight of the trip," Dendinger said. "People were so nice. It just hit me in my heart, up at Toledo and Washington, D.C. All the little kids, the Boy Scouts and parents that came out and showed us a little respect that we never got It's a day I'll never forget."
Schank, another Army veteran, said he heard about the Honor Flight from his friend Charles Yaney. In turn, Schank spread the word to a couple of men he knew. Schank had visited Washington, D.C., some years ago to chaperone a group of school children. This time, his only responsibility was seeing the sights and enjoying the day.
"I was in Vietnam '67 and '68, and I was in a chemical company. Our unit was attached to the 11th Engineers up on the northern part of Vietnam," Schank said.
Upon his return from the war, Schank said he did not expect a pat on the back for doing his duty, but he did appreciate the opportunity to take the trip. He called Northwest Ohio Honor Flight "a super organization."
"The best part of it was the reception when we left and came back," he said. "It was just great, with all the people that were there. It was definitely an emotional trip home I bet there was 1,0001,500 people at that hangar."
A group of students from Fremont got up early and came to the breakfast before going to their classes. The thank-you letters from school children also were memorable for Schank, along with the van to carry all of the vets to Toledo.
"It was really nice of Reineke to do that for us," he said.
Schank hopes other veterans will take advantage of the opportunity to see the war memorials through Honor Flight. He is hoping to get everyone from Seneca County to sign a thank-you letter to be forwarded to the family that provided funds for the flight for Vietnam veterans.
Veteran Miller served in an Army artillery 108 Howitzer mobile unit in 1966-67 near Pleiku in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. He had not seen the Vietnam memorial before.
"My cousin was killed the same time I was over there, so this way, I got to visit The Wall and got his name inscribed on a piece of paper from The Wall. Arlington (National) Cemetery was really great, also," Miller said.
He mentioned the wreath presentation at The Wall, the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown at Arlington, and the police escort. When the veterans returned to Toledo for the welcome home reception, Miller was impressed with the band and the people who came out to thank them. He also learned a friend of his who now lives in Bowling Green had been on the trip.
"We grew up almost together and we were on the same bus and everything. I didn't even recognize him until at the end, when they called his name out," Miller said. "Being the first Honor Flight for Vietnam vets for Northwest Ohio, I was really glad I was able to go."
Schwab echoed Miller's feelings of gratitude for the experience. The nice weather and "good company" on the way to and from Toledo added to the memorable day.
"The Wall, of course, was a real tear-jerker. There were so many people that gave their lives through the Vietnam War," Schwab said. "This was my first trip. My wife and I plan to go back there again sometime in the future."
An Army veteran, Schwab had been drafted, serving in Germany as a medic 1963-65. He also was impressed with changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery, the crowds who turned out for the receptions and the police escort.
"They cleared a path like we were super-somebodies. ... On the return to Toledo, so many people were there waiting. It was emotional. ... I'm glad I had a chance to go to that," Schwab said.
Charles Yaney had served as a photographer on the May 18, 2011, Honor Flight for World War II veterans. Although he had stopped at all the sites before, he had been preoccupied with his responsibilities.
"This time, they wanted me to be a veteran instead of a photographer," He said. "They wanted me to go to receive the benefits rather than feel obligated to do the work."
His military service took place in the Army, 1970-71, in Ethiopia. Charles worked in satellite communications. His unit's primary function was to monitor communications for the president any time he was flying in the area.
His son, Chad, is vice president of Honor Flight Northwest Ohio.
"They've got quite a network, going through Washington, D.C. It's come a long way since they started," Charles said.

J.J. Watt's start to his second season with the Houston Texans has been a tour de force.
Consider: Watt leads the NFL with 9.5 sacks, has 16 tackles for losses and 16 quarterback hits. His 10 passes defensed, which have come on batted balls at the line of scrimmage, are five more than any other defensive linemen, and just three off the NFL lead, amazing when you consider he plays defensive end in a 3-4 scheme, traditionally not a statistics-heavy position.
So, J.J., is there anything you can't do?
"You'll never catch me singing or dancing," he said Wednesday on a conference call with Western New York reporters.
That's about the only thing the second-year pro out of Wisconsin hasn't done for the 6-1 Texans, who through the first eight weeks of the season are the class of the AFC.
The play of this week's Sports Illustrated cover boy is a huge reason why.
"He's played very well. You could see this coming, I think, in the playoffs last year. The two playoff games he was exceptional," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "I think this all started at the end of last year and has continued, and the guys around him have played well. [Defensive coordinator] Wade [Phillips] does a great job of getting him in position to be successful. We're very proud of his effort, and obviously, he's becoming a hell of a player."
Praise for Watt has come from all NFL corners this year, so much so that he's being mentioned as a candidate not just for defensive player of the year, but league MVP.
"He doesn't play just your normal way that defensive linemen sometimes play," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "He'll jump around, block, but then he's quick enough to go close his gap off. He's good enough and strong enough to close it down the traditional way. He's a dynamic football player. He really is. He's high energy, don't get me wrong, but he's a very unique player in the way he plays the game."
Watt's ability to knock down passes at the line of scrimmage is uncanny. The first real sign of that skill came in last season's wild card playoff win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watt didn't just bat the ball down, but rather snagged Andy Dalton's pass at the line of scrimmage and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown that broke a 10-all tie and sent the Texans on to a 31-10 win.
"I think a lot of its instinct," Watt said. "It's a lot of practice over the years and getting good at it, and kind of developing the instinct. It started at Wisconsin with [defensive line] coach Charlie Partridge. We started working on it there, and obviously now here in the NFL I've been working on it a lot. It's just something that, I know when I'm not going to get a sack, I want to find some other way to affect the play, and that's a way that I can do it."
It helps that Watt's got a 37-inch vertical leap. Not bad for someone who's 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds.
So, J.J., can you dunk?
"Very easily."
Had Watt not chosen to play football, he might have been chasing a Stanley Cup. He was a decorated youth hockey player, even traveling to Germany with a team of elite players hand picked from throughout the country.
So, J.J., it sounds like you were pretty good, right?
"I wasn't bad. ... I was the MVP of that tournament, the leading goal scorer."
"Hockey is up there right near football as one of my major loves," he said. "When I'm done playing football some day, I'm definitely going to be in an old man's league."
Watt hasn't laced up the skates since he was 13 years old, right around the time it got hard to find a pair that fit him.
"I had to buy new skates every year and it got to the point where I got so big, that I had to start to get custom skates and that got really expensive," Watt said.
The financial burden got to be too much to bear for the Watts, who raised three boys – J.J., D.J. and T.J. – in Pewaukee, Wis. (population: 13,224 as of 2011).
"Now that I understand the financials and all those types of things, I understand how much it costs, I'm so thankful and grateful they [Watt's parents] let me play as long as I did," he said. "... The feeling of the puck hitting the back of the net is very similar to the feeling of getting a sack or scoring a touchdown."
While Watt has made the game look easy this season, he's also dealt with adversity. He left Central Michigan after the 2007 season and was working a pizza delivery job before returning to his home state and walking on at Wisconsin.
He transformed himself into a second-team All-American and the Badgers' MVP in the 2010 season before being drafted 11th overall by the Texans.
Don't think for a second that Watt is getting comfortable, though.
"I understand what it took to get on the cover of SI and I also understand what it's going to take to stay at this level and keep playing this way and our team to keep playing this way," he said. "It's a 'what have you done for me lately' league. They can love you one minute and hate you the next. You just got to keep playing, keep doing what you do. I was brought up to work hard. Hard work is always going to be the basis of everything I do."

Hoard's Dairyman article: Calves are what they eat
Calves are what they eat
by Mark Hill and David Jones
The authors are with Akey Nutrition and Research Center, Lewisburg, Ohio.
A common mistake that is made is to begin feeding roughage too soon after weaning.
There is an expression "you are what you eat." This is true for calves.
Calves are unique animals that change from a single-stomach to multi-stomach ruminant. At birth, the rumen is very small — maybe the size of a baseball at best — and nothing more than a "pouch" in the digestive tract. It has no digestive function . . . yet. If fed a high-starch diet that is optimum for rumen development and growth, the rumen will be about the size of a basketball by 6 weeks of age near weaning time. If all goes well, its volume grows to be similar to a beach ball by 12 weeks of age. Diet and management affect this development. If the diet is too low in starch, rumen development and growth are slowed.
Calves are babies . . .
As calf caretakers, we sometimes overlook that calves are babies. They are, in fact, more like a human baby or piglet than their dam. Feeding high-starch starter and grower feeds supports the most daily gain. Several studies dating back to the 1950s have demonstrated this very clearly. However, sometimes there are studies that suggest that calves gain body weight with diets containing fiber. These studies can be confusing to scientists, feed industry personnel, and calf feeders. Let's dig into the data over the years to get clarity.
Researchers at Virginia Tech in the 1970s fed diets with various concentrations of nutrients and reported that fiber can impact "real" body weight gain drastically. Let's define the terms. "Real" body weight gain sometimes is called empty body weight gain. Total body weight is measured by simply weighing a calf. This total weight consists of empty body weight and gut fill. Gut fill is the water and feed residue in the digestive tract.
Total weight misleading . . .
In the Virginia Tech research, at a common protein intake, gut fill became greater, and empty body weight gain became less as acid detergent fiber (ADF) was raised in the diet. To help visualize this in 180- and 300-pound body weight calves, the amount of gut fill is plotted in the figure relative to the concentration of ADF in the diet. Note the dramatic rises in gut fill as dietary ADF went up. So simply weighing a calf may not tell the real story. When diets of different fiber concentrations and types are compared, researchers must attempt to correct for gut fill to determine the "real" weight and weight gain of the calves.
The table shows the total body weights, gut fill, and empty body weights of calves fed diets with different amounts and types of fiber. In Trial 1, 60 percent corn (high starch, low fiber) or 60 percent soybean hull (low starch, high fiber) pelleted diets were fed to calves less than 2 months old. Performance of the calves was greatly reduced with high-soy-hull diets relative to high corn diets.
In Trial 2, similar diets high in soy hulls (20 percent corn) supported considerably less body weight gain in calves over 3 months of age compared to diets high in corn (60 percent corn). The diet with 20 percent corn also contained wheat midds, soy hulls, alfalfa meal, corn gluten meal, beet pulp, and cottonseed hulls which raised the fiber content of the diet.
Also, in Trial 2, calves fed the low- corn diet gained the most total body weight, but they had 21 pounds more gut fill. Thus, their empty body weight gain was much less than calves fed the high-corn diet.
In Trial 3, 2- to 4-month-old calves were fed textured grower diets high in corn, but one group was fed no wheat straw, and the other was fed 9 percent wheat straw. The bulky straw reduced intake and gain by displacing rumen space. Empty body weight gain did not differ as much as in Trials 1 and 2 because the straw did not hold "or soak up" as much water as the other fiber sources used in Trials 1 and 2.
The young calf does not have enzymes to digest fiber, and calves do not have a large enough and established microbial population to ferment fiber. Feeding bulky feeds like hays, straws, silages, and haylages takes up rumen space and displaces space for grains and proteins that can be digested. A common mistake that is made is to begin feeding roughage too soon after weaning. A 3-month-old calf does not have the rumen capacity or digestive capability via rumen microbes to utilize diets with free-choice hay or large amounts of fibrous feeds like soybean hulls, wheat midds, cottonseed hull, and corn gluten feed. This sometimes is very evident in the change in appearance of calves at weaning and 3 or 4 weeks postweaning. Often calves at weaning appear to have good body condition, a barrel-like gut, and a smooth hair coat. These calves were fed milk or milk replacer and starter. They are moved to a group pen with other calves, and the starter or grower feed is restricted to about 5 pounds daily, and hay or forage is offered free-choice. Thus, a calf becomes what it eats. The calf begins to lose body condition, its hair coat begins to look rough, and it develops a "hay belly." Energy intake has been restricted with this high- hay diet to the point that even frame development is reduced.
Feeding calves a high-grain diet with limited high-quality forage after weaning allows for rapid weight gain and frame development. In the trials mentioned above, frame growth paralleled weight gain, but in no trial did the calves gain excessive body condition.
Treat calves more like piglets up to 4 months of age. Feed them a diet high in corn that is not restricted. Do not feed hay until 2 months of age. Feed only a high-quality, leafy forage from 2 to 4 months of age, and limit the amount of forage to no more than 10 percent of the diet, preferably 5 percent. This amounts to about 0.3 to 0.6 pound of hay daily from 2 to 4 months of age.

A high-level trade delegation from the Netherlands representing ICT, food security, logistics, technology, waste management, water management and shipping sectors is scheduled to arrive here today (Monday) to explore potential areas for collaboration.
The Netherlands want to make Bangladesh a hub for their IT outsourcing, apart from extending technological support and collaboration in the areas of flood and water management.
Nyenrode Business University and Dutch Embassy in Dhaka are arranging the four-day visit.
The delegation members met the Bangladesh Ambassador in the Hague Sheikh Mohammed Belal on September 2 and shared their plan regarding the visit.
A good number of IT companies are looking for partners in Bangladesh for their outsourcing need, said an official here. They found that Bangladesh has many more aspects to do business.
Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and Dutch Embassy in Dhaka will host a B2B matchmaking event on September 9-10 at the BASIS premises.
Representatives from leading Dutch IT companies will take pat in the event. Already around 45 BASIS member companies have shown their interest in B2B meetings with Dutch companies.
Around 2,000 companies are active in the Dutch water sector. Of them, 1500 are in water technology and 500 in delta technology.
Now Netherlands is completely free from flood, thanks to technologies and know-how for flood and water management.
The Dutch companies are also keen to work with Bangladesh partners in the areas of water and flood management.

Nice content. However, the video froze on me right around the 24 minutes time line. FYI. I was watching it fromy iPhone 4.
I enjoyed the presentation. Real life example of how we can help can help businesses with SharePoint as a platform.
About some gaps comming with SharePoint Online: 3rd party add-ons could close it, e.g. missing BCS with the "Cloud Connector for Office 365 and SharePoint 2010" that integrates corporate on-premise data using the CSOM API.

In speaking of the Pulitzer Prize winning book Profiles in Courage by the late President John F. Kennedy, Fr. Dennis Hadberg said the work mentioned such well-known and notable people as John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and Sam Houston.
He continued, I would add one more name this morning, not nearly as well known as the others, but more than equally worthy . . . the name of Louise Taylor.
Fr. Dennis was reflecting on Louises life as he spoke at her memorial Mass of Resurrection last weekend at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church. Louise died last month, leaving her body to medical science so more could be learned about the beast we call cancer that she lived with for over a dozen years.
Noting that she battled the disease with great courage and grace, Fr. Dennis said she made the choice to live and go forward bravely and with a smile no matter how difficult it was at times.
Thirteen years ago Louise was given three months to live. Treatment worked and she was in remission until a new cancer invaded her with even more fury. She was a devoted member of St. Johns, dedicated to doing everything she could from serving on the altar to visiting the sick. Those of us who knew and admired her, watched her go from a vibrant woman who strode up the aisle to one who moved slowly and with a faulty step.
But she kept moving.
When chemotherapy took her hair, she got a light blonde wig or wore a fetching cap. When she could no longer manage to serve on the altar, she still came to church, until she just flat was not able to move. Fr. Dennis said whenever he visited Louise she never complained about her illness and before you could inquire about how she was, she was always the first to ask how you were doing.
He also noted that she always tried to find the positive and the good. And I know she would have summed it all up by simply saying: God was so good to me
The music at her service was as upbeat as she was and included: Here I Am Lord, The Lord Is My Shepard, Ave Maria, and Let There be Peace on Earth. The Mass souvenir booklet contained the poem Im Free, author unknown, which ends with a stanza which could have been written by Louise herself to express her faith, philosophy and consolation:
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Dont lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.
She also had a good sense of humor both about herself and her friends. When I complimented her new wig, she whipped it off and said Well, I think Im just as good lookin without it, dont you?
She loved to tease Jim about his passion for fishing. Used the wrong lure, did you? if he came home empty handed or with a smallish bass. A five-pounder elicited the query Is that the best you could do?
Louise was more than worthy. One of the last times we saw her in church, bracing on the pews as she crept along, Jim looked at me, teared up, and said, You know, shes always going to be my hero.
Mine too.

BETHEL – I didn't get to the Woodstock Music & Art Fair back in August 1969. Although a few of my friends made the trip, I, at age 14, was too young to even consider asking Mom and Dad for permission.
However, like many others of my generation, I was there in spirit. Over the past 43 years, I have done everything I could to learn all about the world's most famous rock music festival.
I bought every Woodstock album and compact disc. I have seen the movie at least a dozen times. I've had long talks with friends who were there, hanging on their every word.
And finally, a few weeks ago, my wife and I drove to the site of the festival, walked around the grounds and visited the first-rate museum devoted to the event.
So, is the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts worth a visit for those who didn't go to Woodstock but wish they had?
I truly enjoyed the experience, and found parts of it fascinating and moving. Anyone who grew up loving the music of rock icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Who and Sly & the Family Stone should go. The Bethel Woods experience earns an A- or, at the very least, a B .
My only disappointment? I wish more of the museum was dedicated to the thing that made the festival so unforgettable – the music.
>Yasgur's farm
Built at a cost of approximately $100 million, the Bethel Woods center opened in 2008. It sits on a lovely hillside in the Catskills region, overlooking the original 2,000-acre concert site.
The Woodstock festival was not held in the artsy town of Woodstock, which is about 90 minutes away from Bethel Woods. The festival promoters wanted to have it in Woodstock, but people who lived there turned it down. So the promoters found a different location – a farm owned by a man named Max Yasgur.
One of the first things you'll notice on the grounds is a beautiful, 15,000-seat amphitheater, which is a showcase for a host of musical acts. It has welcomed Woodstock veterans Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Richie Havens, in addition to stars such as Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews, the Moody Blues, quite a few country singers and even toddler favorites the Fresh Beat Band of Disney Channel fame.
All kinds of people visit Bethel Woods, some because they love the music and culture of the '60s, and others just because they are curious.
"A lot of people come because they were at Woodstock, or they grew up hearing about it," said Edie Downs, 74, a volunteer docent at the museum. "We get people from foreign countries who ask me, 'Is this where all the hippies and drugs were?' And we get busloads of young students who have never seen a 45 rpm record or a transistor radio before."
As we entered the museum, we were greeted with a music and video presentation of 1950's and 1960's culture. We heard about the civil rights movement, the exciting rise and tragic deaths of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the advent of the hippie movement and how all these things set the stage for what was to come at Woodstock.
I found the historical stuff somewhat interesting, but kind of routine – maybe because I was so eager to hear about the event itself.
In small video booths we found films explaining how a young, hip group of entrepreneurs came up with a vision for a music festival that they thought would draw perhaps 50,000 to 80,000 people, most of them from the New York City area.
They were astonished, of course, when 500,000 people showed up, rock fans from all over America, creating perhaps the biggest traffic jam in state history.
In a delightful series of interactive displays, I found out all kinds of interesting tidbits about what happened at the Woodstock festival:
*Most rock fans know about the future superstars who played at Woodstock, but there were also a lot of little-known acts, most of whom faded into obscurity soon after the festival. It was very cool to hear about artists like Bert Sommer, Sweetwater and the Keef Hartley Band, and hear snippets of their music.
*So many performers were tied up in traffic that opener Richie Havens had to improvise a set of three hours. He made up the song "Freedom" as he went along.
*John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful band only came to party, but needing to fill time, the promoters convinced him to get up and do a solo set. Stoned out of his mind, Sebastian sounded a bit giddy, but Woodstock turned out to be the biggest break of his career.
*Most acts were paid $15,000 to play at Woodstock, but some – such as Hendrix – got a lot more, and others got a lot less. "I think we got 500 bucks," Santana drummer Mike Shrieve laments on one video.
*The Grateful Dead hated Woodstock. They played in pouring rain, most of the stage lights weren't functioning and guitarist Jerry Garcia kept getting electrical shocks.
*The Who's Pete Townshend, never a shrinking violent, screamed at hippie leader Abbie Hoffman to "get off my [expletive] stage" when Hoffman tried to get up and make a speech.
*Artists who turned down a chance to play Woodstock included Dylan, Vanilla Fudge, the Doors and the Moody Blues. Now that's what you call a bad career move. Iron Butterfly got stuck in traffic, and missed its set, because promoters refused to send helicopters to get them.
*Lines to use portable toilets were often two hours long. (Ouch!)
One of the enjoyable museum exhibits is an old hippie bus that has been turned into a small theater, where you can sit and watch a video about "Wavy Gravy" and other California hippies who traveled across the country to Woodstock. They were a huge help in preparing and serving food, and in helping doctors treat people who freaked out on drugs.
There are a couple of larger theaters with huge screens and sound systems, where we saw parts of the best performances from the four-day festival.
>Wanting more
As much as I enjoyed it all, this is where Bethel Woods falls short. I didn't want to hear snippets of songs; I wanted more. How cool would it be to see and hear the entire Woodstock sets of Hendrix, Joe Cocker or Creedence Clearwater Revival?
Museum organizers should try to get their hands on every bit of archival footage they can find and put it out there – perhaps focusing on a different artist each month – to satisfy the music fanatics like me.
You can find full setlists and lists of the musicians who played, even in the lesser-known bands, in the interactive displays at Bethel Woods and on the center's website.
The museum also features interesting artifacts such as the bizarre jumpsuit Wavy wore, a photography exhibit, and memorabilia from a doctor who worked at the festival.
After spending about two hours scouring the museum, we walked the grounds. A simple marker sits at the spot where it all happened. The monument is a short walk from where the stage was. Looking out over the rolling hills and pastures, I wondered what it was like, standing up on that stage, playing to half a million people. It was an exhilarating thought.
Most of the funding – about $85 million – for the center came from Alan Gerry, a cable television billionaire whose daughter ignored her dad's orders to stay away from Woodstock. About $15 million more came in New York state funding. Some have criticized using taxpayer money for such a venture, but speaking as a taxpayer, I think it was money was well-spent.
With the possible exception of the Beatles' appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show," Woodstock was the most publicized rock music event of all time. We are lucky that it happened here in our state. Why not celebrate it?
>If you go
Bethel Woods is in Sullivan County, about 300 miles and five hours from Buffalo. The museum is open every day of the week but closed between Jan. 1 and April 6, and also on several holidays. Admission is $15; $13 for seniors 65 and older; $11 for ages 8 to 17; and $6 for ages 3 to 7. Visit BethelWoodsCenter.org or call (866) 781-2922.

Proposed amendment to prohibit junk yards
June 27, 2013
Council will consider adding a paragraph to the ordinances dealing with M1 light industrial and M2 heavy industrial zones which would prohibit auto wrecking lots, scrap yards or junk yards in the......
This is a really good idea. It wouldn't be necessary if Morrissey and Berlin would enforce the laws already on the books.

I don't think private residential indoor ranges are much of an issue. The two or three people in Salem that have both the interest in having an indoor range in their homes AND the financial means to get one installed probably doesn't create a need for a separate classification.
In regard to public commercial indoor ranges, if the city wants to promote business in Salem then this would be a good one to get pushed through. There's a lot of shooters in Salem and only a few places nearby to shoot.

When appropriate the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond uses Rand McNally Areas (RMAs) when defining banking markets. RMAs are metropolitan areas defined by Rand McNally and are located in its Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide. Since the RMAs are continuously being revised and updated by Rand McNally, these areas should be verified using the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide.
When a county returns more than one banking market definition, this county has been split by an RMA and portions of the county are present in both banking market definitions.
All counties in West Virigina, except Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Tyler and Wetzel, are within the Fifth District and the banking markets are defined by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Tyler and Wetzel are located in the Fourth Distric and the banking markets are maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Since 1995 the IMF has been funding research projects. We began by giving out one Junior Grant, which was awarded to Dr. Atsushi Ogata who was working on IL6 signal transduction. We were thrilled that the IMF was launching its research grant program, and to mark this important milestone we held a gala benefit and honored IMF Board member and myeloma patient, Dr. Francesca Thompson, author of the book Going for the Cure. It was a momentous occasion and the beginning of a new chapter for both the IMF and myeloma patients.
Over the years our research grant program expanded, and while we continued to fund Junior Grants, we also began to fund Senior Grants as well. The IMF's research goals are clear, to bring new people into the field of myeloma, to fund projects that will have the most immediate potential benefit for myeloma patients and to maintain the highest standards in our research grant selection process. The IMF's research grant program is made possible through the generosity of our members, people like you who believe in what we're doing and share our values and philosophy.
Just as the treatment and management of myeloma has evolved, so has the IMF's research program. In May, 2002, the IMF conducted its first ever telethon, and many of you responded generously when we called to ask if you would be willing to support a new research initiative that the IMF was launching. In just two days we raised $156,000!
I am proud to be able to report back to you that the IMF has launched not one but two very exciting new research initiatives, Bank On A Cure™ (BOAC) and the International Prognostic Index (IPI). Spearheading BOAC are two of the world's leading molecular biologists, co-chairs Dr. Gareth Morgan (University of Leeds, UK) and Dr. Brian Van Ness (University of Minnesota, USA). Co-Chairs for the IPI are world experts in myeloma, Dr. Jesus San Miguel from the University of Salamanca, Spain, and Dr. Phil Greipp from the Mayo Clinic, USA. Both of these outstanding projects will greatly benefit patients in the short term and long term. The possibilities are endless.
The results of the IPI project will be presented at the IXth International Myeloma Workshop in Salamanca, Spain on May 25th from 1:30PM to 3:30PM. Work on BOAC is just beginning, and we'll have more to report in the upcoming months. Both of these projects embody the spirit and innovation that is the IMF; they are collaborative efforts of over 20 research centers around the world. The IMF has always been about people helping people, families helping families. Now we can also say we're about researchers helping researchers.
If you would like to learn more about these projects and would like to become a Supporting Partner, please contact the IMF.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Bristol-Myers Squibb yesterday named Francis Cuss as executive vp and chief scientific officer effective July 1, as the pharma giant moved to shore up an R&D effort set back by the costly failure of a hepatitis C candidate and the looming loss of Plavix revenue to the patent cliff.
Dr. Cuss will succeed current CSO Elliott Sigal, M.D., Ph.D., who the company said was retiring after nine years in the position, and two years on the company's board of directors. Dr. Cuss joined BMS in 2003 as senior vp, drug discovery, adding responsibility three years later for discovery medicine and clinical pharmacology. Before joining BMS, Dr. Cuss spent 14 years at Schering-Plough and three years at Glaxo, holding positions of increasing responsibility in discovery, clinical research, and medical affairs in the U.S. and Europe.
In a statement, BMS credited Dr. Cuss with successfully integrating Adnexus, Medarex, and ZymoGenetics into BMS' research organization over the past decade, as well as with having "driven innovation in the research operating model, processes and governance," and being recognized for industry leadership "based on cycle time, success rates and costs, having increased discovery output while maintaining a flat operating budget."
BMS hopes these skills will strengthen its R&D operation. It stumbled last year when hep C candidate BMS-986094 (094) failed a Phase IIb study that was suspended after a heart failure death in one of 30 patients receiving the highest daily dose, 200 mg, in combination with BMS' daclatasvir, another hep C candidate.
BMS took a $1.8 billion noncash impairment charge in the third quarter of 2012 reflecting the failure of '094, and is looking to settle $500 million in claims made in lawsuits against the company by trial patients and families of patients. '094 was earlier known as INX-189 when it was the lead drug candidate of Inhibitex. BMS acquired Inhibitex last year for $2.5 billion, with the goal of bringing a successful hepatitis C drug to market.
R&D fared much better, however, in successfully developing the anticancer drug Yervoy® (ipilimumab), approved by FDA in 2011 for late-stage metastatic melanoma, and Eliquis®, which won agency approval late last year to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
BMS envisions the new drugs and others like Forxiga as a "string of pearls" or linchpins of its future portfolio as the company looks to replace revenue lost since patent protection for Plavix ended in May 2012. Worldwide net sales of the drug all but collapsed last year to $49 million, from $1.672 billion in 2011. BMS will announce first-quarter 2013 results on April 25.
Forxiga, approved in Europe for type 2 diabetes, was co-developed and co-commercialized with AstraZeneca. BMS' announcement also credited Dr. Cuss with playing a key role in bringing the company's pipeline successes to market, particularly in hepatitis C and PD-1.
Days before naming Dr. Cuss as CSO, BMS announced a pair of key R&D moves. On Friday, BMS and Vertex Pharmaceuticals said they will team up to conduct Phase II studies of a once-daily combination therapy designed to fight hepatitis C by wedding BMS' investigational NS5A replication complex inhibitor daclatasvir to Vertex' investigational nucleotide analogue hep C virus (HCV) polymerase inhibitor VX-135.
Earlier last week, BMS confirmed it will shut down the San Diego operations it acquired last summer when it bought diabetes drug pioneer Amylin Pharmaceuticals, saying the shutdown would improve BMS' efficiency and eliminate redundant jobs. About 420 staffers work for BMS in San Diego. An as-yet unknown number will be considered for relocation; the rest will be laid off.

"While there are hundreds of amigurumi patterns and pattern books out there, there are very few (one?) books that address the secrets behind actually designing your own. This class took every last bit of the mystery out of it for me. ... Stacey was a great instructor. Clear, friendly, and not too repetitive or chit chatty. She laid out the formulas very plainly in such a way that It was easy to understand ... I feel like this class set me free from ever having to follow a pattern again."

Happy Friday all! Hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to a fun filled weekend. Want to meet my newest sponsor?
Where did you come up with the name for your shop shop? When I was planning to start my business one of the first decisions that has to be made is name. I tossed around tons of ideas. Some cute, some fun, some edgy…. but in the end I came to the realization that I just want to make things and follow my heart and I wasn't even 100% sure what that would be at the time, so I didn't want a name that would tie me down to any particular category or subject. Jenna Lou Designs is a name that will be with me forever ( because it is my name… wink ) and it can grow and evolve with whatever the future holds for me.
What or who are your inspirations? I find my inspirations from two main sources. The fabrics themselves and femininity. I work with some really beautiful fabrics (all the credit here goes to those amazing fabric designers) so sometimes I design just knowing that I want the fabric take center stage. I also design with women in mind. I want to create a product that lets them show to the world who they are. The products help express a feeling of "I'm beautiful, bold, and I know what I like!" Most of my products are available in over 300 fabric choices so it really allows for your personality and style to show through.
What are 3 of your favorite items from your shop?
1. Custom Clutch Sets (because it has become a deep passion of mine to help curate these mini collections for brides and party favors )
2. The Estelle Bag in ruffled fabrics ( I adore how understated this bag is! Plus it is so versatile )
3. Fancy Ruffled Scarves ( Perfect weight for all season, but now that fall is here again I wear mine everywhere. I love how it softens up a winter coat )
Where do you see yourself and your shop at this time next year? I want to be doing the same thing only better. That is my goal for every year though. If I had to nail it down a bit more I would say that I want to turn more of my ideas into finished products. I always have more ideas than time and lately it's been mountains more.
What is one piece of advice you would give to aspiring handmade shop owners? Learn to say no so you can stick to the work you love. Many years ago when I started Jenna Lou Designs I was still finding my niche and I often would take work just to have it. Sometimes this meant hemming pants for someone locally or doing other sewing tasks just because I could. I lost a lot of energy doing those jobs. They didn't make me feel stronger or more in love with sewing. They just were work. If I would have committed the time I spent agonizing over those jobs and focused it towards my business, I think it would have taken off a lot sooner.
I know you said one, but I have one more that is very important for new shop owners. Remember the golden rule and treat others how you would want to be treated. In every conversation or dealing with a customer (new or old) I think about how I can make the experience easy and wonderful for them. And this applies to non customers too, because they might someday be a customer if they just remember how kind you were to them.
