Remember this word: batteries: Ron Rezetko had a solid business plan, strong financial partner and a clear vision to where he wanted to go. (FW Focus: Profiles)(Cover Story).
Likely, if that guy in the movie had been Ron Rezetko, the whispered word would have been "batteries" instead. And apparently, Rezetko would have been right.
Of course, in 1987, when this Wisconsin native quit his job as the marketing head of an industrial-automotive markets firm, a lot of people thought he was, well.... unnecessarily optimistic. But Rezetko foresaw a business-to-business and consumer market for batteries extending way beyond those diehards that crank up boats and cars. With a solid business plan, a strong financial partner and a clear vision, Rezetko used franchising to build a network of 175 stores across the country. Today, Batteries Plus is well on its way to becoming the "McDonald's of Batteries," a dream that Rezetko articulated in the early days of the 14 year-old company.
In mid-July, Rezetko stepped up to the chairman emeritus role at Batteries Plus. Here, he looks back at the last decade, remembering what charged him up in the halcyon days, as well as why, at age 60, he's still going strong.
FW: What made Batteries Plus an original concept?
Rezetko: Batteries Plus is the first of its type--the first to take battery sales out of the secondary market and into the new-wave, triple A market, sited at major crossroads, featuring free-standing buildings that are unique in their design.
FW: You were a little "ahead of the curve" getting into this market. What made you sure it would work?
Rezetko: I did well over a year's research and determined that we were going to become a battery-dependent society. It was just a matter of time. It was important to be the first to take the initiative to expand it.
FW: So you quit your job and opened your first store ...
Rezetko: Right. It took me the better part of a year, but I wrote a very accurate business plan. Very complete. I did so much homework that I knew what to expect ... I just didn't realize how fast it was going to go.
FW: How did you launch those first company-owned stores?
Rezetko: I started off with a financial partner. He took the secondary position because he ran another business, but he had good financial connections. He was able to get us money because, based on a good plan and a good history, (the financiers) thought we had a very good chance of surviving.
FW: Did you feel confident from the very beginning, or was it a year or two before you knew Batteries Plus would really fly?
Rezetko: I felt confident before I started. In the beginning, we had what the market demanded--that was the car and truck batteries, plus starters and fan belts. But we knew it wasn't going to stay that way. The first thing that came along were the cordless phones. Then there were a lot of hand-held power tools, then cellular phones and computers. It kept evolving: medical batteries, back-up batteries ... The most recent development is EPS [emergency power supply].
FW: So you went for the B2B market right off the bat?
Rezetko: Our strategy originally was to be half retail, half B2B.
FW: And franchising was a part of your strategy from the beginning, too?
Rezetko: Yes. It was the way to make the business grow. Franchisees usually are more successful than company-owned stores.
FW: Before you started selling franchises, did you have staff on board who were experienced in franchising?
Rezetko: No, nobody. But we hired a franchise-savvy legal firm out of Kansas City. So, even before we started franchising, we had done all the legal work, registering and the like. When I had questions, I talked to my lawyer. We were ready to open the door when the first prospect approached us.
FW: What did your growth strategy look like?
Rezetko: The informal strategy was to try and develop in the Midwest. But what was really happening was, geographically, we went wherever we had offers.
FW: How did you keep from spinning out of control?
Rezetko: For years, I worked for NAPA, an organization that has associate stores, so I knew about the responsibility involved in that relationship. Of course, by law, franchise owners have more rights than associate stores, so you have to perform even better. Some people feel a franchise needs to be grown larger and faster, so the brand can be recognized. But I'm conservative. I believe in control and in managing steady growth.
FW: So relations with franchise owners are integral to a brand's success?
Rezetko: I didn't go into business thinking I wanted to become rich. Success is measured many ways, but, for me, success is measured in how successful other people are.
FW: How did you work with the owners to ensure their success?
Rezetko: We were very selective about our franchisees. A lot of it was instinct. We relied on the "three Cs:" character, capacity and capital. Have you heard of the saying, "He's not heavy; he's my brother?" If you're going to have somebody invest money in your idea, you'd better be careful and certain that you give them all they need to succeed. That's a moral responsibility and I think it's very critical. Franchisor-franchisee relations? That will make or break a system.
FW: So now that you're seen one vision come to reality, what's ahead for Ron Rezetko?
Rezetko: I'm still on the board at Batteries Plus and I have one vote on the operating committee like everyone else. But this year, I'd like to write a book about business experience in general--the ways to qualify yourself for a business. And, I'd like to do some consulting, too. If I can help somebody be more successful and smile a little more, then I've succeeded.

Legion baseball roundup: Willmar, Wedel blank Melrose
WILLMAR — Brandon Wedel narrowly missed a no-hitter and a Willmar offense that struggle to score runs put up more than enough for their pitcher in a 7-0 win over Melrose on Thursday at Bill Taunton Stadium.
Wedel didn't allow a hit until Melrose's Drake Meyer doubled with one out in the seventh inning.
Wedel walked three and struck out eight.

For each stick of butter at room temperature whip it with a half cup of confectioners sugar and a tablespoon of brandy. Shape it into a log and refrigerate until firm. Freezes well also
For a more rounded flavor, add 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract to the above formula.
Soften butter and whip in lots of powdered sugar and brandy to taste. Fun fact: when I was a kid we lived in rural Botswana, and made brandy butter every Christmas. One year we had way too much so we dumped it in the woods. NOTHING, from hyenas to ants, would touch it for weeks. Does this make you worry? We still make it every Christmas.

USU football: Chuck Jacobs holds no regrets for coming to Logan
"It's a stepping stone. We've set a new standard," Jacobs said. "If you believe in yourself, you can play to that standard and even get above it."
Everyone knows that patience is a virtue, but for Jacobs, it is a necessary attribute that guides his career. It is the biggest lesson he has learned as an athlete and biggest thing he intends to carry over into his life after football.
"Be patient with the game. Every day is not going to be your day. You have to just bear with it and deal with it and keep a smile on your face, so you can get through," Jacobs said. "If you do that through your day-to-day life, then you'll be successful."
Jacobs is confident in seeing himself continuing his football career even after he graduates this May.
"I'm taking my talents to the NFL," Jacobs said.
That confidence is visible the second he takes the field each week.
"When I get the ball in my hands, I feel like no one should be able to tackle me. No one can bring me down. I go by that rule. I lead by example, through my actions. I want to leave a nice stepping stone for the younger classes to take it away," Jacobs said. "My goal is just to help the team progress and get myself better. As I come in and out of my routes, seeing the ball into my hands, making a guy miss and get in the end zone, it's constant progress."
Eventually, Jacobs would like to see himself working in sports psychology. He will graduate with a degree in psychology and sees that as the perfect balance.
"I can keep being involved in what I love, but keep the psychology part in there too," Jacobs said.
Jacobs is grateful for the time he has spent as an Aggie and the person it has helped him become.
"It changes you. Being in this program shows me a lot. It shows me a brotherhood. The people that are on this team will always have a strong bond," Jacobs said. "The memory is still going."

Novell Changes Enterprise Linux Kernel Mid-Stream 96
from the this-will-dominate-the-evening-news dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I think the biggest surprise here is the update to Xen 4.
Xen 4.0 has barely been released for 3 months and they're moving to it for SLES? Insanity. There's barely any time to determine known bugs. What production environment would want to risk everything from downtime to data loss by using practically untested code?
That said, Xen 4.0 has some really nice features with regards to the Remus checkpointing project. It essentially provides instant failover (with persistent network connections) to commodity hardware. Definitely a feature to keep your eyes on for upcoming RHEL/SLES versions.
bookmark this. now you never have to go through the agony of googling a bunch of stupid animal names again. think of what you can do with all that free time.
We're using SLES 11 on production servers with no problems. We decided to jump straight to 11 after getting burned for being 9.4 too long and nobody in the world supports it any more.
As far as VMware Tools support on SLES 11, according to VMWare's official documentation it is:

Call it one of the more intriguing hat tricks in Vancouver Giants' history.
Triplets Gerry, Leo and Myles Fitzgerald were among the most dynamic forwards at the WHL team's rookie camp in Ladner on Friday and Saturday, despite the fact the Port Alberni brothers each check in at a mere 5-foot-1 and 110 pounds.
The siblings, who turn 15 on Monday, have a combination of skill, hockey sense and fearlessness that has Giants brass and scouts pledging that, at the very least, they'll keep a close watch on them in minor hockey this coming season.
No one from the Giants would say whether the club would try to add any of the Fitzgeralds to their 50-player protected list. The Giants aren't likely, either, to move many underage players to main camp, which opens today in Ladner. Still, Vancouver's braintrust wasn't shy about being impressed by the trio.
"They have some similarities to Mike Comrie at the same age, and we all know how that turned out," Giants general manager Scott Bonner said, pointing to the now 5-foot-10 NHL veteran, who, like Bonner, grew up in Edmonton.
"They are very smart hockey players who we noticed every game, which is a hard thing to do in a 48-hour window."
Director of player personnel Jason Ripplinger added: "It's like a hornet's nest when they are out there -- they just keep buzzing around. They're certainly entertaining to watch."
The brothers were passed over in the last WHL bantam draft, and, because of their age, they couldn't be full-time players in the league until next season at the earliest. There's a lot that could happen between now and any of them stepping into regular duty in junior hockey. That said, if they do all continue to develop as players and one WHL team manages to snag them as a group, they would be a marketing dream.
It's not just the obvious triplet angle. They shared the title role in the 1999 motion picture Baby Geniuses, a flick that also starred Kathleen Turner and Christopher Lloyd. That means there's a ready-made highlight package to post on a gigantic replay screen at a rink.
Of course, the odds of one WHL club nabbing all three might be as far-fetched as the Geniuses plot about talking, super-intelligent infants. Teams generally don't have room on the protected list to get three identical players of the same age; the Fitzgeralds all project to be undersized, skill types. And they don't seem to mind the idea of playing on different teams in the future.
"It's just part of hockey when you grow up," shrugged Gerry.
They did play together on occasion as a line Friday and Saturday, but they were also used on separate units with their rookie camp team. It was similar to how they utilized with their Port Alberni bantam squad last season; they usually came together only on the power play. They could be split up on different squads this season. Gerry is trying to land a spot on one of Vancouver Island's major midget league teams, while Leo and Myles opted against trying out and will likely play midget in Port Alberni.

Spring pruning: Yes or No?
Previously I have not cut off the old leaves on my hellebores in Spring, but this year they looked so horrible with the new bloom stalks popping up through them that I have started a complete regimen of cutting all of them off as fast as I can.
Any comments as to whether you do or don't do so, and how you feel it affects the plants' vigor. I have purchased plants which had obviously had such done, so it apparently is practiced by some in the trade.
With acaulescent hybrids - like Helleborus x hybridus (aka orientalis hybrids) - removal of last year's growth is a standard practice. By late winter the foliage is likely limp, often splaying to the ground, and typically battered by weather and diseases. Removal of the foliage in late winter - just as the flower buds are emerging from the ground - certainly does not weaken the plan and can actually improve vigor by removing overwintering fungal spores and various insect pests. New foliar growth is almost immediate and the flowers are displayed to much better effect with the removal of old growth.
With the caulescent species and hybrids, this practice is very optional. These tend to produce much more upright and durable foliage and also much more attractive foliage. Typically one only needs to remove any badly disfigured foliage or any that is obviously dried up or dead. Even evergreen foliage doesn't last forever :-))
This year a grower near you (SEPa) told me he cuts his back just before autumn leaves drop, in order to make fall cleanup easier. Says the earlier trim doesn't effect vigor at all and if I had a big woodland planting I would definitely consider this.
Like Gal said, trimming in spring is standard practice.
That sounds interesting. I might think about it for next fall. This year has really been horrible down here with snow/thaw cycles beyond belief.
Still, the hellebores are gorgeous this spring. Have had bloom starting about 2 weeks ago on the hybridus and a month or more on niger. Foetidus is even starting although the winter burnt off a lot of those buds. First year blooming on a lot of niger seedlings, which I spread around last year as well as a good number of hybrids seedlings.

Texas A&M Loses to No. 1 Alabama
Updated: Sunday, September 15 2013, 11:44 AM CDT
No. 6 Texas A&M was tied with top-ranked Alabama in the second quarter when Johnny Manziel scrambled, scrambled some more, then wriggled away from an Alabama defender who had him caught by the jersey.
Then just as another white jersey was barreling toward him - and 26 yards behind the line of scrimmage - he launched a pass that Edward Pope grabbed for a 12-yard gain on third down. Four plays after Manziel's sparkling highlight, the Heisman Trophy winner was picked off in the end zone, the Crimson Tide soon had the lead and Alabama didn't trail again in a 49-42 win on Saturday.
"We were just kind of on a different page and that's on me," Manziel said of the play. "It's either our ball or nobody's and I know that and I know better than that. A big turning point in the game so that one's on me."
Manziel finished with a school-record 464 yards passing with five touchdowns. He added 98 yards rushing to finish with 562 yards of total offense, which is the second-most in school and SEC history behind the 576 yards he gained last year against Louisiana Tech. A&M's 628 yards of total offense were the most Alabama has ever allowed.
"He played Johnny-like," coach Kevin Sumlin said. "He scrambled around and made some plays but he also stayed in the pocket and remained efficient."
But the Aggies had lost, despite the monster numbers.
The sophomore had another major miscue on A&M's first drive of the second half. This time his pass was deflected and intercepted by Vinnie Sunseri, who returned it 73 yards for a touchdown to push Alabama's lead to 35-14. Manziel had a shot at making a tackle on the return, but Sunseri juked the quarterback and he went sliding down on the turf as Kyle Field fell mostly silent.
It was a stark contrast to last year's upset of Alabama when Manziel and the Aggies played a charmed game to get the 29-24 win in Tuscaloosa. Manziel's nearly flawless performance helped catapult him into becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
"I was proud of the way they kept fighting until the very end," Manziel said. "That's impressive to me."
Manziel's favorite target on Saturday was Mike Evans, who caught seven passes for a school-record 279 yards receiving with a score. Malcome Kennedy added 57 yards receiving with three touchdowns.
Manziel's mistakes were far from A&M's only problem on Saturday. The defense was back to full strength after missing several starters due to suspensions for the first two games, but the unit couldn't slow down Alabama's offense, allowing 568 yards.
"There are a lot of things that we have to fix, but you give a lot of credit to Alabama," Sumlin said.
The Aggies took solace in the fact that they beat Alabama last season and the Crimson Tide went on to win the national championship.
"This isn't the end of our season," Manziel said. "This wasn't the Super Bowl. This wasn't the last game of the season ... you never know how things will turn out. All we can do is take care of ourselves and continue to get better as a team."
Johnny Football and the Aggies looked unstoppable early, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives to take a 14-0 lead. Evans powered that hot start, piling up 135 yards receiving in the first quarter alone.
Alabama got going on offense on the second drive, with Jalston Fowler breaking through the line for a 15-yard run. Kevin Norwood extended and reached over the defense to grab a 22-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 14-7.
The Crimson Tide then called a flea-flicker where AJ McCarron found DeAndrew White for a 44-yard score to tie it at 14-all in the second quarter.
Manziel's interception came on A&M's next drive. Alabama took advantage of that error when Kenny Bell took a short pass 51 yards for the go-ahead score.
Alabama tacked on another touchdown to push the lead to 28-14 at halftime. That score came on a 4-yard run by T.J. Yeldon. He mocked Manziel's touchdown celebration where he rubs his fingers together after the score before running his arms across his throat to draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Manziel got A&M within 35-21 with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Kennedy in the third. The defense couldn't come up with a stop though, with Kenyan Drake pushing the lead to 42-21 with a 3-yard touchdown run.
Manziel connected with Kennedy again early in the fourth quarter, this time on a 12-yard pass to cut the lead to 42-28. Manziel found Evans on a 95-yard score to get A&M within a touchdown with eight minutes left, but Alabama responded with a 5-yard touchdown by Fowler.
Kennedy's last touchdown got A&M within 49-42 with 15 seconds left, but Alabama recovered the onside kick to secure the win.
The Aggies host SMU next weekend.

Odd Flowering Habit
Our Clivia at the office has an odd habit. Each year when it tries to flower the flower stalk does not emerge from the leaves and the blooms are trapped in the tight folds of the center of the leaves. Any suggestions on what will make the flower stalk emerge so the blooms can be seen?
I believe you have described what's called, a "stuck umbel"...the umbel is the part of the plant that produces the flower buds. From what I have read, these plants need a dry rest period, along with a few months of cooler temperatures, to trigger the response that allows for the elongation of the flower stalk, and then, the opening of the flower buds. What about watering, light, fertilizer/feeding, growing medium. Check all these things.
The cultural needs of the plant are probably not being met, so I would check the growing conditions first. I'm sure your plant will perform to it's potential once you grow it correctly. Maybe the office growing conditions are less than ideal, and the temperatures are too high for the necessary rest period that the plant must have to push up a flowering stalk.
This site, and other Clivia growing sites will give you all the cultural/growing information that you need to get your office plant to bloom.
Hope I helped.

Anyone familiar with US Lanterns/Vivid Lighting?
We are purchasing an outdoor light and this is one option, but I can't find much about their quality or products anywhere. A local lighting shop carries their lights so we can see it in person, but just wondering how they are regarded (or if anyone else has encountered them!)
Specifically, we are choosing between them, Maxim, and Kichler, so I'd love to get a sense of how these brands compare to one another. (I think Maxim is lower end relative to the other two, but not even sure of this since prices are all over the place!)
Thanks--I did go ahead and order the US Lanterns light last week, so we'll see how it turns out! In case it helps anyone in the future, price point through our local store was about the same as Kichler (online) and about 30% more than Maxim (in store) for the same basic light. (US Lanterns does let you choose from a number of finish and glass options for the same price, which didn't matter for us--we pretty much just chose the same combo that the Maxim and Kichler lights would have come with--but might be a plus for others who are more particular.) In the end the decision just came down to the fact that the US Lanterns light is made in California while the other two are China (though no clue if it is actually made here or just assembled here)--the designs themselves were all pretty similar otherwise.

Stunning Program
Vision of Love Rectangle Programs I love this design! It was almost everything I expected. Colors were beautiful, the font perfect, my only complaint is the overall size is a little small. Other than that, everything I wanted out of a simple wedding program.
- Romantic Rose
Romantic Rose Rectangle Programs LOVE IT! They always amaze me with their products and fast shipping! Plus they always have great deals! It matches my colors so well! The quality is great!
Very Pleased with Product
Antique Rose Rectangle Programs I was able to personalize the text and colors nicely. I used the pearlized paper, which is lovely in person. It took me so little time to put together, and the price point was so good, that I definitely do not regret getting programs!
Fantastic quality
Vision of Love Rectangle Programs It shipped quick and arrived in perfect condition. The color is exactly as I expected it to be (black, ivory, and purple). The card stock is nice and sturdy. I would order again for different events. My only real complaint was with the website itself. It was tough to navigate and my saved design kept disappearing. If I didn't have a sample saved in the checkout cart I would not have been able to order it. I would recommend the product from this site, but I would suggest to order right away and not try to come back later to finish or change anything.
Beyond Expectations
live.laugh.love Rectangle Programs They turned out absolutely amazing! Easy to design and received them super fast. I would HIGHLY recommend this design and company!!

Tucson police: Suspect shot, was returning to bank
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Authorities say a suspected bank robber was fatally shot by Tucson police after getting a box of ammunition from his vehicle.
Police also said 35-year-old Santiago Avila was a fugitive wanted in California in connection with an assault on a peace officer.
His name was released by police Friday after his relatives were notified.
Police said they received a 911 call about a robbery in progress Thursday afternoon.
Officers arrived to see a man matching the suspect's description walking out of the bank with a handgun.
Police said he ignored commands to stop and drop the gun.
He instead went to his SUV, got a box of ammunition and began walking back to the bank's front door when officers shot him.
Police said the man died in the parking lot.
