Peak Fall Foliage Season in this region is October 3rd to October 15th, so the introduction of our new Fall Foliage Weekend Package couldn't have had better timing. Available the weekend of October 4th to October 6th, the package includes:

- Three-course dinner for two at Morgan's Restaurant on the night of your choosing
- Picnic lunch with fern picnic hamper (yours to keep),
- Full Breakfast for two on one morning
It will be the perfect time to witness the amazing beauty that this area is noted for. Even travel writer Stan Wawer at Travelscope Magazine mentions Interlaken as a recommended overnight accommodation in its Fall 2013 edition. (see page 6).
Taste all of the flavors of fall at our restaurant Morgan's. Go apple picking at Ellsworth Farm in Sharon, CT. Admire the colorful valley at Millbrook Vineyards while tasting their wine. Visit breathtaking waterfalls including Kent Falls in Kent, CT or Bash Bish Falls in Copake Falls, NY. Ride through the colorful trees on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail in Millerton, NY. Visit Salisbury Garden Center in Salisbury, CT for unique gourds and Freund's Farm for homemade apple pies in East Canaan, CT. Just drive. Take your picnic lunch that is included in the package on the road with you and head to Route 7, Route 41, Route 44, Route 4, or Route 22 (NY). Any direction will lead you to beauty. Availability is limited to make your reservation today!
Hiking at Beaver Pond Trail
It was such a pleasure to start my day today taking a 35 minute hike at Beaver Pond Trail. Thank you for your company Pauline!
The most recommended trail to our Guests, I am realizing it's not just because of its location, which is walking distance from the Interlaken. It's so beautiful and scenic and private - I loved every step I took.
A combination of wide and narrow paths (particularly along the water), the trail was perfect for leisurely walking as well as a bit of a heart rate elevator. My new friend Bocce joined us and led the way!
The trails are marked as white. blue, and red, and we walked on the white trail until we took decided to take a right towards Lake Wononpakook (affectionately known as the "back lake") where the trail shifts to red. As you can see the views of this pretty lake were breathtaking.
Bocce took a dip!
This is the same lake that our private cabin sits on - such a peaceful accommodation.
The narrow path follows alongside the lake for quite some distance - all the way to this pretty waterfall.
One last look at that picturesque lake.
If you want to breathe in nature this is the trail to take and, again, walking distance from the Interlaken property.
Stop at the front office to get a map and be on your way!
Put that phone down!
and look at me.
Pet of the Week
It's another gorgeous day in New England, so I decided to grab my camera and see what was happening outside.
As I neared the Sunnyside building I noticed a black flash running across the field - several times for that matter. I had to wander over and see what that was all about.
Oh, it was just Bocce playing catch with both his ball and his frisbee. Back and forth, faster and faster each time.
He'll never quit!
What a beautiful boy Bocce is - as you can see. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but Bocce's shiny black coat is wet - he just got done swimming in the lake - and he loved that too. The Interlaken property can keep an active dog like Bocce busy! The large field behind the Sunnyside building for fetch, swimming in the clear waters of Lake Wononscopomuc, walking the Interlaken grounds and hiking at the nearby trails has kept Bocce going since he arrived yesterday. He can also visit the front desk as anytime for a special pup treat! After a long day, Bocce prefers to snuggle in the Interlaken Pet Bed (that we provide for every pet) over his own bed brought from home.
His parents chose our Three Day Getaway package so they could have time to relax as well as explore all of the goodness this local area has to offer. This was their first time going away with Bocce and found our pet friendly property to be more than they expected. I am hoping they'll come and talk to us at our Intermingle tomorrow (every Wednesday at 5pm to 6pm - featured cocktail and hdo's) so we can hear all about what they've done these past few days with us. They certainly picked the perfect week to visit!
Random Acts of Color
So it's one day into the official fall equinox and here is what the Interlaken property looks like.
All is still pretty much green (except those burning bushes!) and then...
BAM! There's a huge pop of color!
The courtyard and wedding pavilion area - pretty much green....
But then look across the property and there is a POP of color once again!
I had to see what the Lakefront was up to, and again, random acts of color are blessing that beautiful spot as well.
The "random" will soon switch to "frequent" so be sure to plan your Fall Foliage trip to Interlaken very soon!
Celebrating 10 years!
Look what Country Quilters have been doing for 10 years at Interlaken!
Why, quilting of course! I have blogged many times about these nice ladies that come up twice a year - Spring and Fall - and how it is always such a pleasure to have them stay with us. This year is particularly special as they are celebrating their 10th anniversary so naturally we had to pour 45 glasses of Champagne and toast to their loyalty. We don't know who is happier - the Interlaken Staff for having them stay with us or the Country Quilters for being here. I am going to go with it is an equally mutual feeling.
"The weekend was indeed a fantastic one! None of us can think of a word that could adequately describe the "wonderfulness" of it all. We have become accustomed to friendly service, excellent meals, accommodating and infinitely helpful staff, but somehow this past weekend we saw all records broken, all across the board. Everyone we encountered at the Inn was that much more friendly, helpful, accommodating and delightful; the meals were more amazing (and who would have thought that was even possible!), with special kudos going to the salmon on Friday night, the chocolate croissants (my personal favoriteJ) and all of the soups and the salads and so much more; the decorating in the dining room for our Witch's Ball on Saturday night including staff members wearing witch's hats and Vanessa all decked out in her best witch's garb (didn't she look great!?); Winston making a special appearance, trying for an incognito approach in his sunglasses and cap backwards on his head, slouching into the conference room J; Tony, Kevin and Vanessa pitching in to get us set up and rolling on Friday night; Brandon showing Tony how to open the window shades in the Will Rogers Room; all the tasty treats all weekend long to complement the amazing meals; and the biggest surprise of all – the champagne party, a gift of Kevin, and served by Kevin, Brandon, Eric and Vanessa! Wow! Above and beyond, but so welcome and appreciated by all. The ladies were stunned and delighted by your generosity and kindness, and touched that Winston came back to share in the bubbly and wish us a happy 10th. These past 10 years have passed quickly and our time at the Inn with all of you has become very important to so many of our ladies. As long as you'll have us, we'll be re-appearing with regularity, twice a year, with our full complement of quilters. Our staff also enjoys our time in the winter when it's quieter and we can visit with each other. Vanessa was our "go-to" gal and she kept us supplied with everything needed and anticipated our needs so well. She is terrific. "Thank you" seems so small and inadequate for the exceptional hospitality you have shown us, but it's all we have. On behalf of our staff – Noreen, Nancy, Mary Gay, Jane, Julie and Linda - and all of our grateful ladies, THANK YOU! We love you all."
Thank you Claire, Noreen and the entire group of ladies for so many wonderful weekends!
A Happy Mother of the Bride
"We just wanted to let you know that we were extremely happy that we chose the Interlaken Inn for our children's wedding on September 8, 2014. We had stayed there about ten years ago, and loved everything they had to offer. It's such a beautiful country inn and we always wanted to come back. Our families came up on Saturday and they enjoyed the lake, pool, tennis, game room and the restaurant and we felt that the inn provided a perfect setting for our weekend wedding.
The rooms were very comfortable and we found the staff to be very accommodating to all our needs. My sister needed to change her room and Kevin was extremely friendly and helpful in attending to her needs.
The wedding itself was a wonderful event; one that we will never forget! Of course, Stephanie and Brandon helped make it fabulous and flawless. Everyone is still talking about how good the food was!"
P.S. I do realize this photo is "extra large" but it is just so pretty!
Miss Connecticut
All of us here at Interlaken are wishing the best to Miss Connecticut, Kaitlyn Tarpey, at the Miss America Pageant this evening. In addition to representing our wonderful Nutmeg State so beautifully, she also happens to be the niece of one of our long-time staff members. Best of luck, Kaitlyn!
Cute facts about Connecticut relating to Interlaken and its neighbors:
Interlaken has private lake frontage on the deepest lake in Connecticut, Lake Wononscopomuc
We are 10 minutes away from the highest peak in Connecticut - Bear Mountain in Salisbury (yes, you can hike to it!)
Lakeville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
We are right next door to the prestigious Hotchkiss School and near several other prominent private schools
New England's oldest Methodist congregation is in Lakeville
Lime Rock Park is the only active road course left in the State
Chef Scimeca is yelling at Guests!
He is at it again! He did this a few months ago and it just didn't seem right. Why is he yellling?
This is what was happening the last time he yelled.
They don't look like they are doing anything wrong - just using fresh ingredients to make the most creative dish in the group. They are challenging their culinary skills - and Brandon is helping them by yelling at them. Why?
As part of the Culinary Challenge at Interlaken, being creative has a time limit, and Brandon does his part by reminding everyone of how much time they have left to slice, dice, sautee, and display. 2 MINUTES 30 SECONDS he bellows! It's fun to watch everyone move just a little faster - this is where the team building comes into play. Occasionally one person becomes the leader and starts to bellow (like Brandon) but usually you see everyone on the team contributing and working together like a well oiled machine. 30 SECONDS! Today's featured ingredient is lobster. DING! TIMES UP! Now Brandon has the fortune of trying the dishes from each team and judging based on flavor, presentation, timeliness and use of ingredients. It really is not only so fun to watch, but participating is a blast! "The Culinary Challenge was enjoyable for all, even those who had done it before."
Bring your team together - either corporate group or your family - as the Culinary Challenge is a good fit for all. Contact Kristy Barto for more details (kristy-at-interlakeninn.com) and check our website for more details!
Raise your glass
Wedged between family afternoon wiffle ball games and a wedding reception for 150 people lies the cocktail hour.
Complete with passed HDO's such as Crisp Crab Cakes with Saffron Aioli, Citrus Marinated Shrimp Cocktail, Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushroom, Spiced Tandoori Lamb Skewer, Figs wrapped with Prosciutto and Mascarpone and Peking Duck Wontons with Scallion - and a full open bar. Held casually on our back lawn, surrounded by tiki torches, lush greenery and signs of fall - the cocktail hour is the perfect beginning for the wonderful evening yet to come.

There's a new war on drugs happening across the nation and right here in Colorado.
Illegal narcotics are being bought and sold on the black market, then delivered right to your door step. What's even scarier is that these sites are now targeting teenagers.
They are set up similar to eBay or Amazon, with sellers from all over the world. It takes a few steps to access them which we will not being revealing in our broadcast or online.
"20 years ago, everything was done face to face," DEA Agent Matt Barden said.
In an attempt to avoid law enforcement, both users and dealers have turned to web sites like 'Silk Road,' the newest site now gaining the attention of the DEA.
"Whether a drug transaction or negotiation takes place in person or over the internet, it's still a violation of federal law," Barden said.
Black tar heroin, cocaine, marijuana and various prescription medications like Oxycodone and Xanax are all just a click away. The sites also appeal to teens wanting to experiment in the world of synthetic drugs.
Most would think it would be a no-brainer to shut sites like this down, but it's not that easy.
The Colorado Springs Police Department tells News 5 there are "jurisdictional issues" because "no one knows where the web site is located."
'Silk Road' uses an anonymous web browser called Tor, which masks a computers identity or IP address along with it's location.
"About half a million people use Tor," Dr. Chuan Yue, a UCCS computer science professor said.
Dr. Yue says the technology has been around for over two decades. The anonymous browser was mainly used by law enforcement agencies and other government entities to protect private information being shared between users.
"Your communication will be encrypted multiple times," Dr. Yue said. "During the transmission, those routers in the middle cannot figure out who are the two communication partners."
To break it down in simple terms, all communication between the "buyer" and "seller" are encrypted so the "transaction" is virtually untraceable.
Because of that encryption process, detectives and cyber crime investigators have a hard time intercepting that communication.
Buyers and sellers also cover their tracks using screen names instead of their real names.
They also use "bit coins" similar to a Paypal account to complete the deal. The drugs are then shipped through the mail.
"If they use the United States Postal Service, that's another violation of federal law," Barden said.
We contacted Ron Perry with the United States Postal Service for comment on their screening measures.
He informed News 5 over the phone that they have policies in place, but could not tell us if they have been able to intercept any recent drug transactions.
Meanwhile, the DEA says despite all the steps users and dealers have taken to stay ahead of the law, they will likely launch an investigation using their own internal resources to bust this booming market.
"We have very skilled and educated investigators and ultimately, there's not any place you can hide," Barden said. "We are going to use every bit of technology, every bit of our resources and relationships with other law enforcement agencies around the country to track these people down."

Disclaimer: KOAA-TV, nor its affiliates encourage children, teens or adults to attempt to purchase or consume illegal narcotics. As a media organization, our goal is to provide a warning to the public about a growing problem now spreading on the Internet. While using such sites may be "difficult" for law enforcement to trace, we want to warn you that no Internet transaction is 100-percent untraceable. Whether purchased on the streets or online, we remind you that possessing illegal narcotics carries penalties including but not limited to a fine and jail time. On a final note, any viewer who posts information on how to access or log onto the site mentioned in our story will be removed.

- Attractive
- Roomy
- Lacks casters and mounts
- Lacks reservoir indicator
- Lacks wicking and screen
Best Uses
- Dwarf bannanas
This is a very good looking planter. It looks like a wood planter on first glance, but lacks a wood grain finish to carry the illusion further. The planters are solid plastic units, no assembly. But they are big. Beware, it takes 50 quarts of mix. But that volume makes for happy large plants.
I use them for Dwarf Cavendish Banana trees. I started a bit late in the growing season, so instead of bananas I got "pups" from my trees. Each one produced 3-4 new trees. I'll take that trade-off! In addition to the trees I added Basil plants around the base because there is plenty of space.
The planter does not come with the necessary screening cloth to keep the soil out of the reservoir, nor a wicking rope to bring up the moisture. I used two strips of spun landscape fabric to cover the water holes at the bottom. The bottom on the inside is not flat, there are two large but narrow "trenches". This makes it awkward to place any screening material. There is no provision for wicking rope,
The bottom of the planter is flat, no easy way to add casters -I've ordered caster dollies this year for them. Because they are so heavy you will need the dollies to move these when full of soil, as I did last fall to bring my bananas indoors. There is a small hole on the outer side of the planter to drain excess water, which makes it awkward to drain and bring indoors.
The planter lacks a reservoir water indicator, you have to irrigate until water comes out of the small hard to see drain. The lack of the indicator and the caster option is why I dropped this to only 4 stars. Oh, yes while they are pretty, they are expensive. If they go on sale I will buy more for my "pups" but the 4 that I have already take up too much space in my sun room in winter. I'll put the some of the new pups in the garden along with the older plants. I'm expecting to find that trees are root bound, but I have to wait until the last chance of frost passes before I find out.
A planter with a resevoir...that leaks.

5 Events Not to Miss This Spring
80th Birthday Celebration at Wildcat
During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps, armed with axes and cross-cut saws, started clearing the Wildcat trail, one of the first ski racing trails built in the United States. Designed by Charley Proctor, the all-around ski champion of Canada in 1927, it was designated as a class "A" racing trail.
On April 5th, this anniversary will be commemorated at the 1st Annual Cat Scratch Fever in The Chutes at the base of Wildcat Mountain. Come cheer on competitors and sway the judges scores from easy vantage points located at the Bobcat Base Lodge or from the decks of the Main Base Lodge. No matter where you are, a party atmosphere will surround you. The Ross Livermore Band will either be playing outdoor snow stage in the Wildcat base area or inside the Wildcat Pub, depending on the weather, while Reklis will perform on the Snow Stage. Outdoor grills will be offering fresh cooked burgers and other assorted grilled deliciousness available for purchase. Wildcat's special Anniversary tickets are on sale through Wildcat only. You can purchase them online or call 888.SKI.WILD to purchase. They will be 2-day $80 passes. Green Granite is offering a Ski and Stay special! Book a room for just $80 for one adult (additional adults are $10 per person)* to stay Friday and Saturday nights April 4-5th when you call direct and request the Wildcat Special Promo.

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Developing NFC Applications
This article explains how to create NFC applications for the latest NFC equipped Symbian phones using Qt or Java technology. The article provides details on the UI considerations in NFC application design and the requirements for NFC applications to be distributed through Nokia Store. A pointer is provided to a project that enables NFC features for Symbian WRT widgets.
You can create applications that leverage NFC technology using APIs provided in Qt, Java™ ME, and Symbian C++. Of these options, using Qt is the recommended approach as it's the core development framework for Symbian and is available for MeeGo powered phones as well.
For details on developing apps that use NFC on Windows Phone 8, please see NFC: "Tap and Do" / Reading and writing from tags and NFC: "Tap and Share" / Phone to phone in the article What's new in Windows Phone 8.
Qt based development
You create NFC enabled applications using the Qt Mobility 1.2 Connectivity API. The advantage of this approach is that you are working with the productive Qt cross-platform API, so you can code once for an app that will run on Symbian and MeeGo phones.
To get started you need:
In the SDK you will find Qt Mobility 1.2. binaries that can be installed on a Nokia C7 Device with Symbian Anna. The package enables development with the Symbian C++ NFC API also.
Further here are some example apps you might want to use as a starting point:
- Nfc Info (show information about tags and parse NDEF messages, including Smart Posters and vCards)
- Nfc Corkboard (demonstrates NDEF reading and writing)
- Nfc Chat (LLCP peer-to-peer communication).
In addition, you can download a step-by-step walkthrough tutorial that explains how to code the latter two apps plus the basic Qt concepts required for understanding the interaction.
Java ME based development
You can make use of the NFC features in Symbian phones using the Contactless Communication API (JSR-257) and Nokia Extensions to JSR-257. This may be the most convenient approach if you have developed NFC applications for Series 40 phones (such as the Nokia 6131 NFC and Nokia 6212 classic). To get started you will need an NFC enabled phone plus:
- NetBeans or Eclipse IDE
- Symbian^3 SDK 1.0
- NFC plug-in for the Nokia Symbian^3 SDK 1.0
- Developer's guide
You can use the NFC phone SDKs for the Series 40 phones also, if you wish. In particular, these SDKs currently offer better features for testing.
Symbian C++ based development
If you're familiar with Symbian C++ you can use the Symbian C++ APIs in a pure Symbian C++ app. To do this, you need an NFC enabled phone plus:
Symbian WRT widgets
An NFC library for API Bridge is available from the NFC API Bridge project.
Windows Phone 8 development
Proximity API can be used to acess NFC capabilities in the Windows Phone 8.
UI design considerations
As NFC is supported in a small (but set to grow) number of phones, it's important to take this into account when creating your application.
In order to achieve a consistent and favourable user experience, applications should be aware of the presence of an NFC radio in the phone and check if the radio is turned on in the connectivity settings. This section provides a step-by-step guide to handling these requirements, along with relevant code snippets and references.
Check whether NFC supported
When an application starts it should check whether NFC is supported in the phones hardware and react appropriately. How the application should react depends on how the application uses NFC. Two design approaches are available:
|NFC centric application
|NFC enhanced application
|This is an application that works on NFC enabled phones only.
|This is an application that will works on phones without NFC phones and takes advantage of NFC only if available on a phone.
|In this case the application should restrict its installation to NFC capable phones only and/or query whether the NFC functionality is available at runtime. Where NFC is available as a firmware upgrade (such as on the Nokia C7 phone through the Symbian Anna update), the application should ideally alert the user to upgrade the firmware with message "Please update your phone firmware to run this application" and then exit.
| In this case the application should query whether NFC is supported in the phone's hardware at install and runtime. If the phone is determines not to support NFC the features of the application that rely on NFC should be disabled and ideally hidden from the user.
If the application detects that the phone would offer NFC after a firmware upgrade, the application may alert the user to upgrade the phone's firmware, but continue running.
Check if the NFC radio is turned on or off
On Symbian phones the user has the option to manually turn the NFC radio on or off. This setting affects NFC enabled applications also. To provide a consistent and seamless user experience, applications using NFC should check the status of the NFC radio and alert the user to turn it on to use the application. At start the application queries the status of NFC radio and informs the user if the radio is off with the message "NFC is not active. Please activate NFC from Connectivity settings before using this application".
APIs available
To determine if a device supports NFC:
- In a Qt or Symbian C++ application use the IsFeatureSupported method using the Feature Discovery API of the TFeatureSet class and test for KFeatureIdNfc (ID = 117).
- In a Java application query the javax.microedition.contactless.version system property value for the supported JSR-257 version. If the API is supported on the phone, the property returns 1.0.
- In a Windows Phone 8 application, we can detect if the NFC chipset is present or not using the ProximityDevice class. To access this object you must use the static function ProximityDevice.GetDefault(). If this method returns null, your device does not support NFC.
The following examples show how to implement the UX recommendations:
- NFC Launcher (Qt/Symbian) -This example uses a separate launcher application that checks the presence of NFC on the phone and based on that either launches the main application, or displays a notification box alerting the user that NFC is not present.Translations of the notification strings are included.
- NfcSettings application(Qt/Symbian) - This project uses the NFC feature and NFC radio logic from the "Mobile NFC app" template and applies a very simple QML based UI that shows both the availability of NFC and radio status on the phone.
- NFCinteractor (Java ME) - This project demonstrates how to handle the NFC dependency in a Java Midlet. It queries the microedition.contactless.version system property value (JSR-257). If the API is supported on the phone, the property returns 1.0.
The Qt SDK does provide simulation of NFC tag related events and a simple NDEF editor to customize vitrual tag content.
If you choose to develop with the NFC phone SDKs for the Series 40 phones or make use of the Symbian^3 SDK with the NFC plug-in, these tools provide some emulation of NFC tags and devices suitable for application testing.
An NFC phone is recommended also to complete testing prior to distributing your application.
Application distribution via Store
NFC enabled applications can be distributed as any other application through Nokia Store. This section describes the requirements related to NFC feature handling and guidelines that must be implemented by the application to ensure a seamless user experience. These requirements need to be addressed by the publisher before submitting the application to Quality Assurance
Requirements for the Nokia C7 phone with Symbian Anna
- The application must handle the cases where the user has not upgraded their Nokia C7 phone's firmware using the approach outlined above
- Only free applications are accepted
- Check whether the NFC radio is turned on or off
Distribution to other Symbian NFC (also MeeGo) capable phones
- Applications may be free or premium
- Check whether the NFC radio is turned on or off
Obtaining an NFC enabled phone
If you're a Nokia Developer Launchpad or PRO member you can obtain an NFC enabled phone through the Prototype Device Loaning Service or the Discounted Devices Program (link requres you have an active Nokia Developer Launchpad or PRO account/login).
As part of the Discounted Devices Program Nokia is making available an NFC Device Kit to Nokia Developer Launchpad and PRO members. The Kit includes an NFC mobile phone and sample NFC tags. You can purchase it from here: Discounted Devices Program (link requres you have an active Nokia Developer Launchpad or PRO account/login)..
If you're not a member of Launchpad or PRO, you can find details on how to join Launchpad here.

About the Book
"All fans of baseball, all fans of a good story, will love this book."
— Professor Gordon Wood, Pulitzer and Bancroft Prize winner
"This is a beautifully written, meticulously researched story about a bygone baseball era that even die-hard fans will find foreign, and about a pitcher who might have been the greatest of all time." — Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer prize-winning historian
Following in the tradition of the sleeper bestseller Crazy '08, Fifty-Nine in '84 is the story of Charles Radbourn, a brilliant major league baseball pitcher who, in the 1884 season, won an astonishing 59 games, a record that has never been broken. Set against the backdrop of 19th century baseball, Fifty-Nine in '84 gives readers a glimpse of the dangerous and violent game that preceded the sport we enjoy today.
In 1884, Providence Grays pitcher Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn won an astounding fifty-nine games—more than anyone in major-league history ever had before, or has since. He then went on to win all three games of baseball's first World Series.
Fifty-nine in '84 tells the dramatic story not only of that amazing feat of grit but also of big-league baseball two decades after the Civil War—a brutal, bloody sport played barehanded, the profession of uneducated, hard-drinking men who thought little of cheating outrageously or maiming an opponent to win. Wonderfully entertaining, Fifty-nine in '84 is an indelible portrait of a legendary player and a fascinating, little-known era of the national pastime.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
Beautifully written and impeccably researched, Pure Grit is the best book out there on 19th-century baseball. Old Hoss Radbourn would be pleased that he is finally getting his dueand angry that it took so long. —
"This is a beautifully written, meticulously researched story about a bygone baseball era that even die-hard fans will find foreign, and about a pitcher who might have been the greatest of all time." —

Why the great wanderer of Cologne house stays away from 'laptop live gig persons'
Torsten Schmidt
If you've ever had any contact with Red Bull Music Academy, you likely know Torsten Schmidt. One of the founding members of the crew, Tor's been around since before day one. A longtime music scribe and editor for leading German club/pop culture gazettes Spex and Groove, as well as for selected national newspapers, he's chewed the fat with Trevor Horn, Melvin Van Peebles, Dr. Bob Moog, Derrick May, Just Blaze, and Moritz von Oswald on the Academy couch over the years, among many others. (He's still waiting, however, for someone to tell him why Miroslav Klose thought he could run around the pitch for Bayern after being nurtured by his beloved 1. FC Kaiserslautern.) Ask him about Iyengar yoga, his vintage synth collection, white wine, red wine, contemporary novelists, or Scottie Pippen, and you'll want to buckle up for a long conversation. You'll be glad you did.

Employers beware: More independent contractor misclassification audits are expected
Blog Entry:
August 22, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: KRISTIN R. ERENBURG
Kristin R. Erenburg, Esq.
Kristin R. Erenburg
is an attorney in the Labor and Employment Group of
Walter & Haverfield LLP
in Cleveland.
With state and federal government budgets stretched, it comes as little surprise that various state and federal agencies are becoming more aggressive in their efforts to ensure that employers and their employees are paying what is owed to them.
A prime example is the crackdown on the use and classification of independent contractors. The governments recognize that, having felt the pinch of the tight economy, a number of employers are attempting to reduce their labor costs through the use of independent contractors and other contingent workers who do not qualify for an array of company benefits.
Especially with the advent of the Affordable Care Act which mandates health insurance for all employees at companies employing 50 or more employees, small-to-medium-sized employers have even more incentive to be more creative in their efforts to keep employee headcounts down. The problem is that fewer employees on payrolls means less revenue flowing into already dwindling state and federal coffers. Through the use of independent contractors, monies for such things as federal and state income and unemployment taxes, social security taxes and contributions to state worker's compensation funds are diverted.
In an effort to recover what is estimated to be literally millions of dollars in lost revenue, President Obama has earmarked significant monies since FY2010 to give certain government agencies the muscle and resources needed to crack down on employers that have been cheating Uncle Sam. As a result, the number of audits performed by the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is increasing significantly. In fact, the two agencies teamed up by signing a 2011 Memo of Understanding to work collaboratively in these efforts. This marks the first time that these two agencies have formally agreed to share this information and have committed to talk to each other to help curb the problem. In addition, states are signing on to share information as well. This includes 13 states to date (not including Ohio yet), and the number is expected to grow quickly. States are also passing legislation, sometimes with criminal implications, and sponsoring initiatives to further address the problem at the state level.
The effort is already paying off, as the federal government has more than tripled the amount of revenue it has recouped through audits in less than a three-year period. In 2008, it recovered roughly $1.3 million. As a result of a beefed up 2010 enforcement strategy, it recovered more than $4 million that year. These monies represent back wages, fines, penalties, and interest paid out by employers. Private lawsuits and administrative costs are not included.
The following "red flags" are some of the most common triggers to initiate an audit:
• W-2s and 1099s overlap for the same employee in the same year -- To save money, companies may sometimes "fire" an employee (W-2) one week and bring him/her back the next week as an independent contractor (1099).
• Independent contractors file IRS SS-8 Forms seeking government determination of their classification status -- Multiple SS-8s filed by independent contractors working for the same entity can signal a problem.
• An independent contractor files for unemployment or worker's compensation claiming employee status -- Investigations beginning with one worker can easily expand to include a company's entire workforce.
So what should employers do to help prevent becoming a target for a state or federal audit? Very simply, don't treat independent contractors or contingent workers like employees. More specifically:
• Have your independent contractors execute independent contractor agreements that, among other things, acknowledge the intent of the relationship and waive any right to company-sponsored health and retirement benefits.
• Create separate policies and procedures for independent contractors and contingent workers. Train your front-line managers to effectively and consistently apply them.
• Be sure the job responsibilities for an employee differ from those of an independent contractor. A change in classification status should be accompanied by a change in duties and relationship. The amount of control exercised over the work performed is a key factor.
• Review benefits plans to ensure a clear definition of "plan participant."
Most importantly, conduct an internal audit -- preferably by a third-party legal professional experienced in the field who can identify red flags and address any problems. Since IRS and DOL audits can generally go back three years, employers are wise to conduct self-audits at least this often, or more, if there is a change in structure, ownership or operations. Make sure you audit yourself before the government audits you!

Lady Bulldogs win big, lose big in weekend games
The momentum from a 17-4 scoring run in the first quarter against the CE-Hawks never faded, and the Lady Bulldogs cruised to a 58-33 win Friday in Colman."That was a good opportunity to knock some rust off after two weeks off over Christmas," said Pete Egstad, Baltic head coach. "We controlled the game from the tip and got to play our style of basketball."The Lady Bulldogs held a 48-16 lead after three quarters of play. Egstad sat his starters for the duration of the fourth period.Baltic senior Allie Walter had a team-high 14 points, shooting six of eight from the field and going two for two at the free throw line. She also had eight rebounds, four steals and one blocked shot.Walter's teammate and fellow senior Mariah Hanisch had 13 points on a six of 16 shooting night. She went one of two from the free throw line, grabbed four rebounds and three steals and recorded four assists.Maddie Polzin tallied seven points, seven rebounds and three assists for the Lady Bulldogs.As a team, Baltic had 32 rebounds, 15 steals, and 10 assists and two blocked shots.Colman-Egan's Tori Nelson scored 20 points.
SIOUX VALLEY 55, BALTIC 29The Lady Cossacks made life miserable for the entire late-afternoon game in Baltic Saturday."We ran into a very good Sioux Valley team that brought a different style of basketball than we have seen so far this season," Egstad said. "(We) have to give a lot of credit to the Cossacks and their defense that completely frustrated us, and took us out of our comfort zone."Baltic was held to 27 percent from the field as a team, and only two Lady Bulldogs scored more than two points in the game. The Cossacks forced 24 Baltic turnovers.Hanisch had 12 points and nine rebounds, and Walter had 11 points and 10 rebounds.The Lady Bulldogs are host to Elkton-Lake Benton Monday, Jan. 13.

Retro Swimfeatured
Dear Blog Reader, I'm now back In Gotham City and already missing the Texan heat. If anyone is reading this in Austin and would like to give me a job there please send an email STAT – will blog and/or analyse for sun.
So, I pretty much hung out by Barton Springs most of this past week on holiday. I've likely returned to NYC as pale and pasty as I arrived (I have two shades, English rose and lobster pink, hardly anything in between *sigh*) but no matter. I was content to wear my lemonade Starboard one-piece by the fabulous Zinke Intimates, sitting on the banks of the lake and watching the world go by…
A capsule collection within my closet now belongs to Zinke. I adore their lingerie collection which for 2012 brings us styles named Montauk, First Kiss, Summer Crush, Fireside, Scout and XOXO in a line that encapsulates a youthful summer. It conjures up images of holiday romances and student crushes on long, hot summer days and nights.
You can see me style Zinke's All Things Nice lace jumper from fall 2011 here on the blog.
Image of Zinke Swim above: Pretty Little Underthings.
I reviewed Zinke Swim on StyleOnTheCouch after attending the collection launch – a very stylish party held in the space at top of the New Museum in Manhattan. You can read that feature here. A wonderfully retro-modern collection of one-pieces, swim separates and cover ups designed in a delightfully bright and pastel color scheme with some bold geometric (chevron) prints – it's a fun, flirty and aesthetically pleasing collection. The addition of bang on trend details like the peplum skirt in the Starboard swimsuit (which is just that, a skirt that is not attached so the suit can be worn with or without) makes this a very fashion forward line for the beach this summer.
Speaking of which, it's not long until I head back to Europe for a quick stop in London before a short break along the south coast of Turkey for a friend's wedding, Blog Reader. If you've ever found yourself in this part of the world (Kalkan, Olympos around around) please leave me any tips and hints (places to see, things to do) below….
Hope you had a lovely weekend! xo
