I know a lot of people have commented that they've felt badly for the hitchhiker but even in the best of times I think most people would've passed him by. Who knows what psychos are out there now...I would imagine that in the zombie apocalypse there'd be even more dangerous people out there.
I see your point; he even yelled something to the effect that he was okay (meaning not sick), but who would take that chance. For all anyone realized, he could have been bait for a larger group hiding in the woods, or had some association with the governor.
The poor guy ended up as stains on the pavement. I see the wisdom of not trusting strangers, but part of me would want to save another human.
I think (HOPE) that the story also showed how when they rod einto town, all of them were hardened to other people. But when they left, they became MORE human, and might have stopped. But like Morgan, they learned this lesson too late. Someone had to die before Morgan could learn to "kill" a loved one. For the group, someone had to die for them to now have a heart and pick up lonely strangers.

My mother was really distressed by the hitcher. Passing him by and then taking his pack after he became zombie fodder was just too callous for her. It was a big turn off.
I think the episode was a turning point for Rick though. He saw what became of a good person when totally isolated.
My total "oh no" moment was when I saw Duane's name scrawled on that wall. I knew that he had to be gone, but seeing his name up there just gave me chills and deepened the sadness.
Definitely for me...but he also had OTHER names that sad people had turned...could they have been survvors that eventually didn't make t?
That cat was godawful ugly. Ha-ha!

Like a poster said above, with all the cars, trucks and even motorcycles available why is is this guy hiking?
well, maybe the ones that were there were either out of gas, crashed, didn't knowhow to suction gas, or had dead bodies in them that he wans't willing to touch?
Since they never spent more than 5 seconds withhim, we have no idea what his story is.
Maybe his group crashed, and he was suddenly all alone, and didn't know what to do (i.e. he wasn't the leader).
Also, was he the one that made the sign for Elsie about Stone Mountain (who had been turned)?
I am slightly hopeful that the ending gives Morgan a chance to connect with Rick in the future. Can anyone give a relatively spoiler-free comparison to the comics..I know Morgan returns to the story, but how different is it then today's episode?

Norman Tschida admitted it seemed like a long shot, but when he heard there was a chance he might be owed a refund on property taxes going back 12 years, he thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
The letter he and his wife, Rhonda, sent Riverside County in June - and other letters like it - were among the documents filed Friday in a federal lawsuit between Desert Water Agency and the U.S. Interior Department over new regulations on what taxes and fees can be assessed on leaseholders on American Indian land.
The Tschidas live about four months a year in south Palm Springs on land that belongs to the Agua ...

Leading Tech Analyst Publishes New Investor Updates for Riverbed Technologies, Microchip Semiconductor, Towerstream, DragonWave, and Anadigics PR Newswire PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 6, 2012 PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Riverbed Technologies (Nasdaq: RVBD), Microchip Semiconductor (Nasdaq: MCHP), Towerstream (Nasdaq: TWER), DragonWave (Nasdaq: DRWI), and Anadigics (Nasdaq: ANAD). So far, the roadmap Editor Paul McWilliams laid out for 2012 has been extremely accurate. In March, just two days before the market peaked and began its over two-month slide, he warned Next Inning readers that stock prices were peaking and a correction was headed our way. Following this, once the markets bottomed, he predicted we would see prices rally through the Q2 earnings season. As it turned out, this was one of the strongest rallies the market has seen in a very long time. However, following the close on September 14, 2012, McWilliams published his most recent Strategy Review and, in that, predicted again that the markets were due for another drop ahead of the November election. This time he nailed the year-to-date high to the day. If you are a tech investor, you'll want to be sure to read what McWilliams predicts will happen next. McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change. McWilliams' highly acclaimed earnings previews are now being published, providing critical intelligence on dozens of tech sector firms ahead of their quarterly earnings reports. The reports, which identify the quarter's likely winners and losers, are available for free to Next Inning trial subscribers. To get ahead of the Wall Street curve and receive Next Inning's in depth earnings previews for free, you are invited to take a free, 21-day, no obligation trial with Next Inning. For full details on this offer, please visit the following link: https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn1489 Editor Paul McWilliams' recent reports cover the following topics and more: -- Riverbed: Is the acquisition of Opnet a game changer for Riverbed? Did Riverbed pay too much? Does the acquisition alter the competitive pressures facing Riverbed? -- Towerstream: How did Hurricane Sandy illuminate the strengths of Towerstream's network? Why is Towerstream a real estate play rather than a technology play? What do investors need to understand about Towerstream's potentially lucrative carrier-grade WiFi business? -- Microchip: Could a recent partnership between Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Renesas be disruptive to Microchip's business model? What new competitive threats does this impose on Microchip's embedded Flash licensing business? Are there longer term threats investors should consider? -- DragonWave: Does Ceragon's recent earnings report suggest positive or negative implications for DragonWave? Now that Sprint and Clearwire will have improved access to capital via Sprint's deal with Softbank, is DragonWave better positioned for growth? -- Anadigics: What does McWilliams' in-depth analysis of Anadigics' recent earnings report reveal about the company's growth potential? Is Anadigics' turnaround story still on track? Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 217% since its inception versus 56% for the S&P 500. About Next Inning: Next Inning is a subscription-based investment newsletter that provides regular coverage on more than 150 technology and semiconductor stocks. Subscribers receive intra-day analysis, commentary and recommendations, as well as access to monthly semiconductor sales analysis, regular Special Reports, and the Next Inning model portfolio.

Sue Linn's mama was an Indian. She never knew from where, only that Dolores wore a beaded bracelet: yellow, blue, and green beads woven into signs. Burnt out from alcohol and welfare, Dolores gave up late one afternoon, spoke to her daughter in an unknown language, and put the bracelet around her girl's skinny wrist where it flopped over her hand. She turned her face to the wall and died. November 4, 1968.
Sue Linn watched her mother die, knowing by instinct that it was better this way. Better for Dolores. But her child mind, her nine-year-old mind, had not yet thought of the possibilities or penalties that lay in wait for little girls with no mother. She thought of her friend, James William Newton, who lived across the hall. She went and got him. He walked Sue Linn back to the room where her mother lay dead.
"Lord, lord, lord, lord," the old man chanted as he paid his respects, covering the still-warm woman with the faded red spread. His tired eyes, weeping, looked down at the child standing so close to him. "Go get your things now, little gal. Bring everything you got. Your clothes, everything."
With his help, Sue Linn removed all traces of herself from the darkening apartment. James William made a last, quick search, then told the child to say good-bye to her mama. He waited in the hall, his face wrinkled and yellowish. His hand trembled as he reached into his pants pocket for his handkerchief, neatly folded. He shook the thin, white cloth and brought it to his eyes where he wiped the cry, then blew his nose.
Sue Linn stood beside the bed she and her mother had shared for as long as the girl could remember. She pulled the spread from her mother's face and looked intensely at Dolores. Dolores's face was quieter, younger looking. Her broad nose seemed somehow more delicate, and her dark lashes were like ink marks against her smooth, reddish cheek. Sue Linn felt a choking move from her stomach up through her heart, her lungs, her throat and mouth. With an intake of harsh breath, she took a lock of her mother's black hair in her small fist. She held on, squeezing hard, as if to pull some last piece of life from her mother. She let go, turned away, and closed


text: The rangefinder on my XA once failed altogether (secondary image did not move) on a long trip to Asia. Since I was shooting mostly scenics with 400 ISO film I did OK by using the distance scale on the lens and smaller f-stops. When I returned and took the camera to a technician for repair (those were the days) he told me a part had broken and that the rangefinder mechanism on the XA was quite delicate. Since then I've guarded the camera against bumps and have had no trouble.

and cause major problems in the widget page.
Hello, it would be nice if you could explain a little bit what's your network configuration, what do you want to achieve and the parameters you're using. Otherwise, it's impossible for me to determine the cause of your problem.
A lot of people use the current version and it works for the most of them, when it doesn't work it's usually due to wrong parameters being used.
Let me know if you need help.
Best regards.

With much success holding "self empowering" career management meetings in the New York and New Jersey area, ETP Network is expanding south into Charlotte, NC. Led by ETP Network member and CEO of Gala Affairs by AtUrbest, Amanda Sherman, the ETP Charlotte Network Group will hold its 3rd meeting on April 29, 2010 at 6:00PM at Weeping Willow Fellowship Hall 2220 Milton Rd Charlotte, NC 28215.

Beyond college and MBA programs, knowing the approaches and etiquette for properly developing network relationships positions professionals to stay poised for reacting to unknown business changes.

Our angels inside companies help ETP Network members to get placed at the head of the line for interviews. Our benefits package has proven to work for both career professionals and business owners. No other organization teaches members how to network. We do." states Carl E. Reid, ETP Network Chief Operations Officer.

By Ed BrockCody Koehler of Jonesboro had just returned home from school when his grandmother started having trouble breathing. "I was pretty scared," 10-year-old Cody said. "First my grandma said don't call 911 because she thought (the difficulty breathing) would go away. Then she told me to call 911." Cody did what his grandmother told him and for his bravery Gov. Sonny Perdue and Georgia Emergency Management Agency officials honored him and other "911 Heroes" at the Georgia capitol Wednesday. "Thanks to Cody's quick action his grandmother Margie Miller made a remarkable recovery and is here with us today," GEMA spokesman Buzz Weiss said during the ceremony. Looking on with pride as Cody received his medal from the governor, Miller said she was at Cody's house on Nov. 14 to watch him while his mother was out. Her breathing problems began shortly after she got there. She recalled how scared Cody was for her when the crisis began. "He was going to cry for grandma but I told him not to, that he had to be strong," Miller said. Miller was taken to the hospital and had to have surgery. She said it was a miracle that Cody made the call that saved her life. Cody was very informative and very calm when he talked to the 911 dispatcher, Clayton County 911 Public Education and Community Outreach Coordinator Terri Edmonson said. "But you could tell he was very shaken up." Cody said that talking to Clayton County 911 dispatcher Tammy York made him feel better. David and Therese Koehler said they had talked to Cody about using 911. He had also learned about it in school and when a 911 operator came to speak at their church. "It's one of the things you teach kids," David Koehler said. "He did a good job." The actions of Cody and the eight other 911 Heroes honored on Wednesday should not be taken lightly, Perdue said. "When things go wrong it takes presence of mind and composure to pick up that phone and describe to the dispatcher what's happening," Perdue said. Among the other 911 Heroes was 10-year-old Shekell Mason of Henry County. On Aug. 14 she called 911 after finding her father suffering from a severe allergic reaction. Perdue also declared Wednesday to be 911 Appreciation Day in honor of the 911 dispatchers and other personnel whom he said are never seen or fully appreciated until they are called upon. "911 is an essential service that we should never take for granted," Perdue said.

WASHINGTON — All sorts of hijinks ensue when the White House lets down its figurative hair for the White House Correspondents Dinner, and endeavors to appear human, and funny.
Tonight's presentation was no different as real Vice President Joe Biden and TV Vice President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss' character from the HBO show "Veep"), teamed up for a parody video that felt a little like a "Veep" episode — albeit clean of the usual cussing, and some of the popular series' dark edginess.
In the video, Biden calls up Meyer and invites her for a night on the town, and picks her up in a yellow sports car. They have ice-cream in the White House, get scolded by the First Lady, and cause mayhem at The Washington Post. Check out the full video at The Huffington Post:

When you open your refrigerator door, do you feel inspired? Is there a rainbow of colors calling your inner kitchen creative to try something new for a change? If you're like most busy people, the answer is no. We all get in ruts, eating the same dishes day in, day out, because they're easy to prepare, tasty enough, and (we hope) nutritious. But if you want to get—and stay—seriously healthy, our experts are unequivocal: You're going to have to mix it up—a lot.
"You wouldn't wear the same outfit every day, so why would you want to eat the same foods?" says Joan Salge Blake, RD, clinical associate professor of nutrition at Boston University. "Eating a variety of superfoods doesn't just deliver all the nutrients you need to look and feel your best; it also prevents boredom eating—which can lead to weight gain."
If you still need convincing, consider this: The more rock-star foods in your repertoire, the more diseases you'll fend off, the better you'll look, and the stronger you'll feel. That means less cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, as well as more energy, a tinier tummy, and a better night's sleep.
So what exactly should you be eating? Start by stocking your kitchen with these 52 picks, which offer meaningful health benefits when eaten in surprisingly small amounts. Once you get started, we're going to guess you won't want to stop here. Bon appetit!

Furry Rainbow Leg Warmers
Also found in:
♠ Warm! ♠ Leg Avenue ♠ Rainbows ♠ Leg Warmers ♠ Halloween ♠ Burning Man
Lined, fluffy faux fur in rainbow stripes that makes us think of unicorns and raves and abominable snowmen (and maybe abominable snowmen and unicorns going to raves). And they even glow under blacklight!
18 inches from end to end.
Top stretch is about 16 inches.
Additional Info: Blacklight reactive! Under UV light the fuchsia, yellow and blue stripes glow beautifully. See the extra images for a view of them in action, both in total darkness and with a little bit of boring regular light.
Last image provided by Leg Avenue.
Made in China. Leg Avenue has close relationships with its manufacturers, visits their facilities on a regular basis and requires they comply with fair trade standards and follow ethical labor practices.
Fiber Content: 100% polyester
Hand wash warm separately, drip dry.
Wipe with damp cloth for spot cleaning, otherwise wash carefully by hand with minimal detergent and lay flat to dry. Re-fluff fur after it is dry.
(Like anything furry they tend to shed a little, but in the prettiest rainbow shades)
Label: Leg Avenue
Thank you so so so much for providing socks in a variety of sizes, and testing them and providing detailed size info! I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs, and they fit on my big ol' legs! And the lace/corset top thigh highs-- and they fit too! It's so awesome to be able to find tall hosiery that fits!

A New Beginning For The Ancram Opera House
By Jamie Larson
It's been said that art grows like a weed. No matter where it's sprung, once rooted and flowered it remains forever. The humble Ancram Opera House (in Ancram, New York) is one such enduring place. Repurchased recently by theater professionals Paul Ricciardi and Jeff Mousseau, the unassuming opera house now sits in seed waiting to grow into something great…again.
At an open house Saturday, Nov. 28 from 2 to 5 p.m. Ricciardi and Mousseau will present their vision for the former grange hall constructed in 1927. They will reintroduce folks to the Opera House, introduce themselves to members of the small town whom they have not yet met, and discuss, with us all, their ambition for a new institution that will offer performances, classes and other events. The event will feature live music and refreshments.
"It's a beautiful and intimate space and acoustically resonant," says Ricciardi of the place that pulled them from Hudson into the Ancram countryside. They hope it will soon entice others, from near and far, in the same way.
It's the intimacy of the opera house that really appeals to the pair, who say they are partial to performances that draw from a closeness to the audience, noting that audience members should feel like their presence is necessary to those on stage.
Their ambitions are buttressed by impressive pedigrees. Mousseau's theater directing resume includes a residency at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His work has been seen at Tribeca Performing Arts Center, among other places in New York City, and locally at Stageworks, Hudson Opera House, Proctor's Theatre and Olana.
Ricciardi currently teaches acting and voice at the City University of New York/Kingsborough Community College. As an actor he has worked in New York City, regionally and abroad. Recent credits include the premiere of his new solo show, Angry and Other Stories at Dixon Place in NYC, Moving Vehicles at Club Helsinki and Hamlet at Saratoga Shakespeare Company.
Ricciardi teaches acting in the Linklater system, and will be offering classes at the opera house. While he will continue to work with world-class performers from New York and our region, he looks forward to also offering classes to locals interested in the craft.
"The driving spirit is as a meeting place," says Mousseau, "An ideal cast would be a mix of actors from New York and the region."
While built as a unionizing structure for local farmers, from its conception a stage was always a part of the physical and communal configuration of the hall. Whether used for local political meetings, livestock auctions or plays by local actors, the original intent of this small town building was the amplification of the performing voice.
"Along with advocating for farmers, the hall provided entertainment," says Ricciardi. "It was a part of the history of this place from the beginning."
In 1972, two cousins recognized the hall's acoustic proficiency and created a dedicated opera house. But their goals were lofty and overreaching. They bought up a church and the general store and a few other buildings in hopes of creating an opera village in Ancram. When they went bankrupt, the building went through a series of reinventions, including its most recent beloved incarnation as a community performance/meeting space and yoga studio.
"Our short-term goal is to create a modest season in the spring," says Mousseau, who adds they are grateful for those who have stewarded the opera house before them. "This building has a great history and we hope to honor that, while bringing something new to Ancram."

Eye On Hudson: Five New Hotspots You Should Know About
By Jamie Larson
You hear it all the time: those who occasionally visit Hudson will remark on the many changes they've encountered since their last swing through town. New businesses are always opening and the end of summer 2015 was an especially active time for the little city's business district, with establishments of all kinds opening their doors. But it's not just quantity. The quality of Hudson's new businesses continue to elevate the Hudson experience for both residents and visitors alike. Here are five new hotspots to check out next time you're there.
Rivertown Lodge
731 Warren Street
(518) 512-0954
Formerly the Warren Inn Motel, the completely transformed Rivertown Lodge is thoroughly hip, and perfectly Hudson. With a mix of clean, finished modern carpentry and tastefully selected antiques, Rivertown Lodge is filled with beautifully designed rooms and a light-filled lobby that lends charm and calm. The supreme sophistication of the hotel is the work of partners Kim Bucci and Ray Pirkle. The latter's experience in the New York hotel business, including at the Soho Grand, more than prepared them to run a hotel that blends the familial comfort of a mom-and-pop outfit with the high-design vision appropriate for the new Hudson. With record players, fireplaces and bikes to borrow, Rivertown is a great way to set the tone for visitors looking to lose themselves in the town.
Hudson Home
366 Warren Street
(518) 822-8120
There are more stores to shop and browse in Hudson than you could possibly hit in a day. But the new location of Hudson Home, a Warren Street staple for more than a decade, is a must see. Recently reopened in the renovated warehouse of the old Register Star newspaper building in the dead center of town, HH is gorgeous inside and out. With half of the upstairs removed, the gallery presents furnishings, housewares, art and gifts in a massive loft space bathed in light from large windows. Where overworked and underpaid reporters once slaved away in a dingy office for a dying medium, now modern elegance is elevated by expert presentation and a mastery of design. Founders Richard Bodin and Greg Feller helped set the trend of what a Hudson home should feel like, and with their striking new location they're proving they're also in control of driving it forward.
"We spent a long time trying to get this space so we could present the things we love in the way we envisioned it," Bodin says. "We hope people will use it in their own lives. We want to help people create spaces that feel inviting and soothing."
35 South Third Street
(518) 828-0798
The coolest new place in town to get a cocktail is the stylish bar/art gallery/café (with food prepared by the specialty shop Talbott and Arding) built in a former auto garage. With its big bay doors, open or shut, this Norse-modern bar is spare and airy. A lot is accomplished within the space. There's gallery space to the right, picnic tables for café patrons to the left and a massive center island bar made with no screws or glue by co-owner, sculptor and furnituremaker Adam Loomis. He and fashion photographer Jennifer Tzar have created an incredibly original establishment. There's sort of a purposeful unfinished quality to the way things are laid out and in the raw finish of the bar, tables and walls around the patio. It's as if the next time you come in, a totally new aspect might have been constructed. On top of all that, the food is great, with offerings of bold cheese plates, sandwiches, salmon and trout rillettes and much more. The drink selections are comprehensive and the cocktail menu is inventive.
Back Bar
347 Warren Street
The other coolest new place in town to get a cocktail is the stylish bar/antique shop/café (with food prepared by the kitchen at Zak Pelaccio's Fish & Game) built in a former auto garage. While you may be experiencing some deja vu, the similarities between Back Bar and Ör end at their description on paper. The feel of Back Bar is all about texture. The collection of high-end antiques and more playful garage-y elements are accentuated by the wall of windows behind the stools, which are, of course, actually the old bay doors of the former gas station and repair shop. The narrow speakeasy vibe when the doors are down creates the impression that you're in on a secret. Even when the doors are up — revealing the more spacious back patio — you're still hidden, closer to the narrow alley than to Warren Street. You actually kind of are in on a secret; Back Bar has only a small sign alerting you to the fact that there even is a bar tucked into designer Michael Davis's 3FortySeven gallery, next to the food truck court, and there's no website or phone number.The food and cocktails are worth the visit, but it's the seemingly effortless, cool, multicultural, quasi-industrial style (synonymous with Davis) that creates the memorable experience at Back Bar.
Patisserie Lenox
504 Warren Street
Just five years after opening its first cafe in Lenox and two years after launching its second location in Great Barrington, Patisserie Lenox has come to Hudson. Acclaimed pastry chef Jean Yves and wife Yulia, who manages and designs the non-pastry aspects of the menu, were embraced quickly. The packed displays of pastries, confections and desserts are mesmerizing, and the comfortable feel of the place will be welcoming to visitors from the Berkshires — there's that decidedly European mountain café feel that seems to be a part of the Western Mass. style. Yulia Yves said they always liked Hudson and felt it needed a casual café, where you could get in and out of for a treat or soup and sandwich, but that's up to par with the town's growing sophistication. Jean Yves certainly has the pedigree to pull it off with the same flare as his other endeavors. He graduated first in his class at one of the top pastry schools in Paris, worked eight years as the pastry chef in a four-star Manhattan restaurant, opened eight cafés on Long Island, created fresh pastries for major European airlines and made specialty cakes for dignitaries, including the former president of France, Jacques Chirac, and the King of Morocco. And now you can taste his work while walking down the street in our constantly evolving Hudson.

Frankenstein And Dracula Have Some Things To Say In Litchfield
From a "Miracle on 34th Street" production. Photos courtesy Peter Tavino.
The Rural Intelligence region excels in community spirit, and in Litchfield, some of the spookiest spirits are coming to life in Halloween Radio Plays being produced at the Oliver Wolcott Library on Oct. 27 and 28.
The library has been home to radio plays for a few years, using existing scripts of 1930s broadcasts that are available online. The productions are volunteer driven and popular enough to fill up the community room for each performance. The shows are free, but registration is a must.
"We've usually done them during the winter holidays," said Peter Tavino, a civil engineer and volunteer who now manages the operation. "We've done A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, but this is the first time we've done a Halloween theme. Since both of the plays — Frankenstein and Count Dracula — have similar characters, we're able to cast just about seven actors."
Playing the title characters in both plays is "veteran actor" Judge Charles D. Gill, a former judge for the Litchfield District Superior Court in Connecticut, who's as comfortable on a stage as he was in his courtroom.
Even though it's a radio play, it's a live performance in front of an audience, so there are costumes, sets, music and, of course, sound effects, all of which Tavino handles. When we reached him, he was preparing for that evening's rehearsal.
"I'm trying to get the smoke machine going," he said.

Meet Your Makers At North Adams Open Studios
You can visit our area's many fantastic museums at any time (and you should), but how often do you get to peek inside the studios and homes of loft-living artists? The answer is one weekend a year: October 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. each day during North Adams Open Studios. At the Eclipse Mill at 243 Union Street, you're allowed to wander at your own pace through the lives of painters, sculptors, potters, fabric artists, a puppeteer and a bookseller. Below, we offer a preview of what you'll see on your tour.
Debi Pendell and her husband Carl Oman, a programmer and musician, have lived in the Mill since the beginning. They knew a good deal when they saw one and have been here for the past 12 years.
Debi's bright studio is large enough to hold classes. Her work is mainly collage, incorporating painting, drawing and mixed media, in layers. Along with her work, shown above, Debi will exhibit collages by her friend, British artist Margaret Thompson.
Dave Lane teaches painting, drawing and mask making in his studio and at locations around Berkshire County. On the left are two of his masks created in leather.
Stop by Dave's studio where he and Krista Duke will be working on the original puppet play, The Chronicles of Rose, which explores the Nazi appropriation of art during WWII. See some of the puppets, show above, and help them construct a scale model of Hitler's Führermuseum. A toy theater also will be set up for the kids.
Artist couple Ed and Sharon Carson share a loft, with studio space separated by a curtain. Ed's landscape paintings will be on display, along with his more recent digital iPad drawings and comic strips.
Sharon has painted en plein air around the world [right], and now is experimenting with printmaking [left]. The lure of the Eclipse Mill lofts for Sharon was the opportunity to "live with the work."
River Hill Pottery encompasses a work space and shop on the first floor of the Mill, at #104. A second, attached loft functions as a living space for owners Gail and Phil Sellers.
The couple create ceramic baskets by hand, along with other household and gift items such as mugs, bowls, butter dishes and wall art.
Three large looms and a wall of thread greet you as you step into Betty Vera's loft, which she shares with her writer husband.
Even more of Betty's fiber art is on display in the first-floor gallery, along with photographs by Lois Linet, in an exhibit called Look Carefully. View her work and get inspired to take one of her classes at the new North Adams Makers' Mill.
Painter Sarah Sutro will display her abstract landscapes [left], as well as works on paper using natural inks from organic materials [right], a skill she learned in Dhaka and Bangkok.
Larger works by Sarah seen inside her studio [left] and displayed in the hallway gallery outside her loft [right].
Grover Askins, owner of G.J. Askins, Bookseller on the Mill's first floor, has transferred his used and antiquarian stock of history, fiction, music, science and other tomes from his former bookshop in New Lebanon, NY. His loft, appropriately, has an entire room dedicated to art books, with a couch where you can sit and flip through your favorites.
Other artists include quilter and fabric artist Michelle Jensen [left] and Marjorie Minkin's abstract paintings and lexan relief works [right]. (Minkin sculpture photo from her website.)

Ralph Nader Opens A Tort (Yes, Tort) Museum in Winsted, CT
By Jamie Larson
Storied public safety crusader, polarizing third party candidate and Winsted, Conn. local Ralph Nader has finally opened the doors to the American Museum of Tort Law in his home town. If a museum dedicated to the history of personal injury law and consumer protection doesn't sound like the most thrilling way to spend an afternoon, museum co-founder and president Nader says that's only because you haven't seen it yet.
"It's a museum that relates to people's daily experiences," Nader says. "These are issues that impact the safety of our air, our cars, our water, our medicine…"
Inside the stately former bank on Saturday, Sept. 26, the museum held its convocation, featuring guests notable in the world of tort, including U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, and a performance by Patti Smith, a longtime supporter and advocate of Nader's causes. Nader downplays the museum as a temple to his legacy, pointing out that a lot of the legal cases currently featured in the museum are not ones he championed. A notable exception is the museum's largest exhibit piece, a beautiful red Chevrolet Corvair, the dangers of which Nader famously cataloged in his 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed.
"[The Museum] is about the people, but nothing is enduring without an institution," says the 81-year-old Nader, adding that the fruit of his labor has always been the institutions he established to help educate and safeguard the public, including the national network of Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) and now the museum, which he began planning in 1998.
Aside from the Corvair and a few other artifacts, such as some of history's most egregiously unsafe children's toys, the museum is filled with large, nicely produced boards that outline famous cases. Frankly, there's a lot to read in the Tort Museum, but Nader says the examples don't just dump information on you but provide "points of thought to challenge the visitor."
Nader says it's important that the museum convey the value of personal injury law not just as history but as an ongoing fight between regular people and corporations that have done some unspeakably terrible things. Through negligence, penny pinching or lack of ethics, corporations have and continue to maim and murder Americans with a regularity Nader finds alarming. He also feels that those in favor of tort reform are spreading misinformation (like inflated false injury claim statistics) in an attempt to allow corporations to avoid paying what they owe to the people they hurt.
"Media propaganda gives the impression [tort law] is abused," Nader says, his passion for the issue still raging behind his distinctive gravel baritone. "Less than 10 percent of cases ever reach a lawyer. It is still very hard to negotiate the system."
While Nader's legacy as a public crusader is still widely discussed in progressive circles and his name will likely be the strongest draw to the museum, one uncomfortable question shadows the Tort Museum; will lingering Democratic animosity over the perception that Nader's third-party bid for President of the United States in 2000 cost Al Gore the election (making Nader an accessory before the fact to the Bush administration's actions) impact museum attendance?
"Only the liberal intelligentsia still have that syndrome," Nader says by way of addressing the 15-year-old controversy. "There were ten reasons Gore didn't win. They wanted to scapegoat me. But it isn't the rank and file that think that. Working people think everyone has a right to run."
To Nader, issues of tort law are highly political because he sees the vast majority of politicians as subservient to their financial donors in what nearly amounts to a corporate oligarchy. He says there's much more resistance and animosity towards his museum from the right.
While Nader doesn't make endorsements when it comes to the current presidential race, he supports a lot of Senator Bernie Sanders' positions. If former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton becomes president Nader thinks she could be as bad as any Republican when it comes to the issues he cares about, calling her a "Corporatist and a Militarist."
Nader allows that while Republican front runner Donald Trump is waging a campaign based on hateful xenophobic ideas he happens to blurt out off the top of his head and then decides to run with, he's glad the blunt mogul is in the race.
"I actually say good things about Trump," Nader says, his tone lightening. "Trump is putting forces in all directions and some are good. He's knocking out [Republican candidates] who are corporate warmongers and calls out hedgefunders. And the silver lining is he galvanizes his opponents [on the left]."
Though he may not be willing to say that the new Museum of Tort Law is how he'd like to be remembered, Nader is more than willing to use it as an instrument, another weapon in his still ongoing fight for the public good. And though tort law may not be the sexiest topic for a museum, there are without a doubt some really important historical issues, lessons and truths thoughtfully displayed throughout the museum worth considering the next time you're cutting through Winsted. And if you're still on the fence, heck, Patti Smith thinks it's cool, so who are you to argue?

Otto's For Sale: The End Of A Chapter In Germantown
By Jamie Larson
In just seven years, Otto's Market and its genial owner Otto Leuschel have become an institution on Main Street in the small hamlet of Germantown, New York. In 2012, Leuschel also opened Germantown Variety across the street, an updated five and dime as meticulously curated and quality driven as the market. The stores have cemented the former Whole Foods Market VP's local legacy as a community-oriented master businessman. In many ways, Leuschel has been directly responsible for revitalizing the town and creating a sustainable little business. In fact, the owners of the well-received new restaurant Gaskins credit the stores specifically as one of the reasons they chose to open in the town.
So it came as a shock to many when Leuschel recently put both Otto's and Germantown Variety up for sale so he can move back home to Washington State to help support his now 87-year-old parents.
"It was a very difficult decision because I'm proud of what I've built, but at the end of the day it's a business," Leuschel says. "I've been on the move my whole life and never stayed in one place too long. I see my life as chapters and this was by far the greatest chapter."
Otto's Market was originally built as a grocery store in 1927, and when Leuschel purchased the building he did a total renovation of the space to recreate an all-American early-20th century vibe. The atmosphere, and the market's mix of everyday groceries with specialty and local foods, managed to do what was once thought impossible in Columbia County: bring the longtime locals and metro-transplants together.
Leuschel says he spends time considering every single thing he stocks, and that by selling high-quality (rather than "gourmet") products, he tries to give the community the feeling that they are never excluded or priced out.
He says the only difference between the two types of clientele is that locals come in when they're looking for something specific or to get coffee and a sandwich from the back deli, whereas weekenders will often do their whole shop.
Across the street, Germantown Variety essentially became the hardware and home goods extension of Otto's, selling everything from nails and screws to beauty supplies and children's toys. The store proved Otto's wasn't just a lucky fluke but that, if well run, new businesses could thrive in the out-of-the-way little town. It's a lesson to be heeded not just by Germantown but smaller municipalities across the region.
From a real estate perspective, Germantown Variety may be an even more interesting property because along with the store, the beautiful 1930s structure also has two renovated loft apartments and an office suite.
"It's time for me to sell — but I'm also selling something really cool," says Leuschel, who never thought he would be going back to Whole Foods to run a store in Washington. "For a lot of people these are more than just stores. I'm so happy I was able to be a part of the community. Saying goodbye to the kids I've watched grow up is the hardest part."
Leuschel's goal is to find buyers interested in continuing and growing the businesses because they have become integral to the community. But more than that, he has created two stores that could be used as a masters study in business management. During his 17 years at Whole Foods, Leuschel opened and/or ran stores that played a part in the company becoming the giant it is today. He was responsible for opening the first Whole Foods stores in New York City, San Francisco and London, among many others. He says Otto's and Germantown Variety are run just like a Whole Foods and any buyer could inherit all the successful and proven structures and efficiencies he's built into the operations. He hopes that also means they would keep on the much-loved and well-trained local staff.

"I hope to sell it to someone who can carry it on and take it further. I've given it all I've got, all my tools," he says, adding that he's not just selling the businesses and the buildings but the chance to live the amazing lifestyle Germantown has afforded him.
"People get me and accept me and like me and celebrate me. I have to go because my head is going to get too big! I'm cognizant of what I'm giving up. It's great to be me here and if you want my life, it's for sale."

Six Degrees Of Satay And More At The Indonesian Country Fair
By Lisa Green
When Iin Purwanti presented an Indonesian night at Six Depot in West Stockbridge, Mass. a few years ago, the response from the community was so positive that she vowed she would do more to introduce the art and talent of her native country. The result is the first annual (she hopes) Indonesian Country Fair on Saturday, Sept. 26 in downtown West Stockbridge.
"A country fair is so American," Purwanti says. But instead of foot-long hotdogs, there will be six kinds of satay (one kind from each of Indonesia's six major islands), prepared by Priscilya Princessa, winner of MasterChef Indonesia. Taking the place of a B-level country/western act, the Saung Budaya Dance Group from New York City will entertain with traditional dances. A Balinese gamelan group will perform with its traditional set of magical, percussive instruments, representing an integral part of Indonesian culture.
At heart, the Indonesian Country Fair is a food fair, Purwanti says, because food and Indonesians go together, and food provides a delicious way into the archipelago's cultural richness. But accompanying the food-related activities (including a cracker speed-eating contest, a traditional game played on Indonesian independence day) there will be a batik making demonstration, arts and crafts vendors, and the opportunity to meet representatives from several organizations who work with Indonesian youth.
Purwanti [in photo, right] and her husband, George Cox, are filmmakers who run Outpost, a video production studio headquartered just above Six Depot. With her concentration on filming nonprofit and grassroots organizations, it's not surprising that Purwanti is eager to foster an exchange between her original home and her adopted one.
"Hosting this event is like merging two big families together — my Indonesian and American family — pretty much like my own marriage with my beloved husband and creative partner, George," she says. "Lots of introductions and dialogue need to be made and nothing is better than with food and arts. "
Upon arrival at the fair, guests will be given a map of the grounds, a "passport" with six empty circles — one for each of the showcased islands. Visitors who meet up with the island tour guides will get their passports stamped. There's a prize for those who collect all six stamps.
"I'm excited about the whole concept of giving people a little vacation to Indonesia," Purwanti says.

Who Doesn't Love An Ice Cream Social?
SoCo Creamery, the handcrafted, micro-batch ice cream company started in 1989 by Danny Mazursky and his family, has frequently introduced seasonal flavors (you may have tasted fall's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip or the holiday-inspired Gingerbread). But lately, the Great Barrington-based ice cream maker has been partnering with local taste purveyors for inspiration, and you're invited to try out the new flavors at an ice cream social on Saturday, Aug. 8 at the Great Barrington Bandstand behind the Town Hall.
Making their debuts will be Windy Hill Farm Blueberry, Taft Farms Harvest Mint Chip and No. Six Depot Heart of Darkness. Ice cream cones will be sold for a $1 each, with all proceeds going to the Great Barrington Historical Society.
The intent, says SoCo President Erik Bruun, is to reintroduce SoCo as the natural ice cream that really reflects the values of New England, and to let people know that the company has dropped corn syrup and carageenan (an emulsifier that's banned in the European Union) from its ingredient mix. "We look for purveyors of similarly high qualities who can offer something that makes for good ice cream."
These new seasonal flavors (as well as the outgoing No. Six Depot Bali Blue Moon, Home Sweet Home Cinnamon Doughnut and Sweet Brook Farm Maple Bacon, which will be available at the event) offer a taste tour of the Berkshires, but they'll all be in one place. At $1 per cone, you can try as many as you like, and help the Historical Society with each one. The Lucky Five Jazz Band will provide the musical licks.

Kent Presents: An Ideas Festival About What Comes Next

By Jamie Larson
It is impossible to overstate the caliber of speakers, the depth of knowledge or the collective value of experience planned for display at the inaugural Kent Presents ideas festival, August 13th – 15th at the Kent School. Thanks to the philanthropic vision and deep personal rolodex of laudable locals Benjamin and Donna Rosen, the beautiful small town of Kent, Connecticut will host some of the greatest minds of our time as they speak on the conference's heady theme—"What Comes Next?"
With the humble intent of increasing interest in their town and supporting local charities, the Rosens have put together a conference of 70 diverse speakers that include Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, economist Paul Krugman and director of the National Cancer Institute Harold Varmus, all three of whom happen to be Nobel Prize winners. The schedule includes presentations from experts in science, public policy, business and technology including Pulitzer Prize-winning doctor and author Siddhartha Mukherjee, president of the World Monuments Fund Bonnie Burnham, Bloomberg Finance executive editor Christine Harper, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, director of the Iran Project and former ambassador William Luers and many more.
"They're coming to a village they've never heard of for an event that never existed before," Donna Rosen says with a laugh. "We hope to establish Kent and Litchfield County as a center for intellectual thought."
The Rosens [photo, right] were able to manifest this laudable event out of thin air due to the connections they've cultivated during a lifetime spent in the upper echelons of business, policy, philanthropy and the arts. Benjamin Rosen is a former venture capitalist, chairman emeritus of Compaq Computer, chairman emeritus and current life trustee of the California Institute of Technology and currently on the boards of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (emeritus) and the New York Philharmonic (emeritus). He is also a former Met Opera board member and Columbia Business School board chairman. Donna Rosen was a longtime contemporary art gallery owner in New Orleans, and is now active in philanthropy and the visual arts, and is a board member of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, and American Friends of the British Museum.
With Mrs. Rosen's connection to the art world, it's no surprise the Kent Presents lineup also boasts many notables from the world of arts and media including actress and activist Mia Farrow, CNN journalist and author Fareed Zakaria, Tony-winning Broadway director Richard Maltby Jr., artist Xaviera Simmons, journalist Soledad O'Brien… the list goes on and on.
"We are fortunate to have great friends involved in many facets of life," Rosen says. That's a bit of an understatement.
It's almost hard to parse the scale of Kent Presents with its casual catalyst. Last August, the Rosens were having a conversation with some friends about the Aspen Ideas Festival and how great it would be to have a similar event in Kent, close to New York City but also surrounded by a beautiful landscape.
"Ben said it would be a good project for him since he doesn't play golf anymore," says Rosen. "So we founded the non-profit to support local charities and asked (Kent School headmaster Richardson Schell) if we could use the school as a venue and he graciously opened his doors to us. We sent emails to various friends of ours and, to our delight, many said yes."
Unfortunately, the nearly $2,000 passes to Kent Presents are all but sold out, with a number of seats having been comped to local residents so that the event could be diverse and accessible. The Rosens are pleased and encouraged by the interest and are already looking forward to next year when they may need to expand.
Though only in their start-up year, without any sponsors, Rosen expects to raise a six-figure amount for the local charities selected at a later date by a committee of local residents, not including the Rosens.

Slideshow + Potluck = Slideluck, A Community Happening

By Lisa Green
Slideluck, a non-profit organization dedicated to building and strengthening community through food and art, has had a presence in cities throughout the world, but it's making its first stop in the Berkshires next week, and you're invited. The event is being hosted by The Barn Gallery at Stonover Farm Bed and Breakfast in Lenox on Thursday, July 16, with the potluck starting at 6:30 p.m. and the slideshow at 8:30 p.m.
Part slideshow, part potluck, Slideluck was the brainchild of photographer Casey Kelbaugh, who hosted the first event in his Seattle backyard in 2000. The idea was to bring artists out of their studios and show their work via slideshow to the community, with potluck meals provided by the guests. Since then, more than 100 cities worldwide have hosted Slideluck events and presented the work of about 10,000 artists.
Each community sets up its own event, backed by the sizable staff of Slideluck, now based in New York City. And while most of the Slidelucks occur in metropolitan areas, Kelbaugh is excited to bring the concept to a rural setting. He's known the Werman family, owners of Stonover Farm, for years, and they've talked about a collaboration for a long time. Suky Werman, who curates The Barn Gallery, was aware of Slideluck — her kids had attended a few of them in Brooklyn — so she was familiar with the concept and always had it in the back of her mind for The Barn Gallery to host.
"Last year we came relatively close, but Suky wasn't ready, so we decided to plan it out," Kelbaugh says. "The property is the perfect location — the idea of doing it with a big open barn is so exciting." Since the first event 15 years ago, Slidelucks have expanded beyond a backyard-type venue, Kelbaugh says, but there's still an authenticity each time. "We've worked hard to keep the community barbecue feeling."
Werman, who has long been affiliated with IS183 Art School of the Berkshires (she's currently on the board), sees the event as a way to draw a wider crowd to the art experience. Yes, it's a way to broaden the community who comes to see work at The Barn Gallery, but the combination of food and slideshow will also, she thinks, attract a more multigenerational crowd. She's curated the show of more than 20 artists (local and otherwise) from a range of media – photography, painting, ceramics, textiles. Their work will be available in the Gallery, and a portion of each sale will be donated to IS183.
The Slideluck organization sends out a team to help produce the event, with sponsors Brooklyn Brewery and Souverain wine supplying the beverages. Think Tanglewood picnic: come prepared to spread out on the lawn to both eat and watch the slideshow, which will be projected on the barn exterior (in case of inclement weather, the event will be moved inside). What to bring? Keep the Cheetos at home, please, and consider supplying an appetizer, salad, main course or dessert to share with some portion of the crowd. Werman is hoping for a gathering of 150-170 people. Although it's always tough to anticipate the participation, Kelbaugh says it always works out.
Come for the feast, stay for the show. It just may be the event of Summer '15.

Two San Diego hospitals recognized for great women's health programs
UCSD Medical Center, Scripps Encinitas make list
SAN DIEGO - Two hospitals in San Diego County were among Becker's Hospital Review's picks for "100 Hospitals with Great Women's Health Programs," it was announced Wednesday.
UC San Diego Medical Center and Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas were cited for clinical excellence, quality care and women's health awards, and programs such as gynecology, obstetrics and reproductive medicine.
"We are honored to be listed with our nation's very best for the innovative care and advanced treatment options we offer in obstetrics and gynecology," said Dr. Thomas Moore of UCSD's Department of Reproductive Medicine. "As the only academic hospital in San Diego, our patients have access to a wide range of experts ranging from gestational diabetes and high-risk pregnancies to pelvic floor disorders and menopause."
Officials with UC San Diego Medical Center said their hospital was recognized for offering the most birth options to San Diego families, for being designated as a Baby-Friendly facility by Baby-Friendly USA and for the number of gynecological services offered.
UC San Diego Health System's fetal surgery program is also nationally recognized.
The 158-bed Scripps Memorial Hospital, which was also designated a Baby-Friendly facility by Baby-Friendly USA, was recognized for having a women's health program that offers various treatments, including hormone therapy for menopause and treatment for osteoporosis.
Its Leichtag Family Birth Pavilion also features a neonatal intensive care nursery.

I'm getting so excited about Easter. Maybe because Little B is older and can really get into the traditions of the holiday.
There are so many fun Easter Food ideas, I just had to share.
I always know that whenever a holiday is approaching, I can count on Bakerella for some fun Cake Pops. Did you know that you could buy candy corn for Easter? Well you can, of course she shares her sources.
Seriously y'all, could these be any darn cuter? I love the colored sprinkles.
I have always been intimidated when it comes to cake pops. But these are really screaming for me to give it a try. I mean, for Little B's sake, I have to right!
These are an oldie but a goodie for me from Bakerella. She did these a few years ago, and I still adore them.
Stop it!
These adorable fondant covered chocolate eggs from The Cookie Shop are too much! And with Little B's new found love with Mr. Potato Head, I think I have to make these too. I really better get started now. At least I still have a month.
Now, if you are some kind of crazy person and don't like cake, then here is an sweet little Peep Cookie for you from The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle. Aren't they fun? The Peep is a classic Easter Candy and this is a fun way to play on that tradition. I'm not a Peep kind of girl, never have been. But I would dig into some of these. Sorry to all my Peeps!
Ok, so I realize there are those of you who don't dig the sweets. I don't understand how that's possible, but I have come to terms with it. So, I found some non-sweet Easter Goodies for you and your little one to enjoy.
These little Chick Sandwiches from Little Food Junction are not only cute, but healthy for you too. Go figure! I might even get Little B to eat his corn and cucumbers this way.
And well, this might be a little more Spring than Easter specific, but still worthy. Maybe I'm drawn to it because the little one is obsessed with birds. Our eating area is beside our deck, so is constantly looking for the birdies. Mimi and Rayray bought him a bird feeder while they were here last week, so now I get him to eat by saying, "let's go eat with the birdie's." Hey, whatever works.
Hope you like these fun Easter Goodies. I can't wait to get started on some of these.

Hi Prajoshgeorge!
Could you send a screenshot of your rules?
Perhaps you have the opener functionality turned off. The opener allows the MWG to look within objects.
2. Re: Archives not being scanned in MWG7prajoshgeorge Mar 2, 2013 4:41 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
If you are refering to Common Rules -> Enable Opener -> Enable Composite Opener, It is already enabled (default).
It is set to run always for all cycles.
I noticed it happens to the below site as well
It seems to be the same issue with Web Gateway 6.9.4.
3. Re: Archives not being scanned in MWG7Jon Scholten Mar 4, 2013 10:01 AM (in response to prajoshgeorge)
Hi Prajosh,
What files are you testing with specifically? Also, how are you judging whether or not something was scanned? Purley based on whether or not you recieved a progress page or...?
On the csm-testcenter site there is encrypted archives mixed in there as well, so if you arent blocking encrypted content, that would explain why they are allowed.
I tested with my default configuration and the eicar virus was found for non-encrypted archives.
4. Re: Archives not being scanned in MWG7Jon Scholten Mar 4, 2013 10:03 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
In your original response, I see you are saying that "the original IE prompt" is received, rather than the progress page.
Just because your get the IE download box, does not mean the MWG hasnt scanned the file. The MWG may have downloaded the file and scanned it, in less than the time you have set for displaying the progress page (its usually delayed by 5-10 seconds).
5. Re: Archives not being scanned in MWG7prajoshgeorge Mar 5, 2013 5:54 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
Thanks I will check that out. BTW how can I implement a rule to block corrupted archives?
I tried with the below rule
It seems to block all of the links on the right side on this website (arabic)

When I turned off the rule the links started working.

With showrooming on the rise, here are three ways retailers can fight back.
Anyone looking for numbers to describe the e-commerce trend would probably get different answers, all of which points to positive growth in the coming years. For instance, Bain Capital Managing Director Ajay Agarwal described the huge opportunity in e-commerce as only about 6 percent of retail sales are done online globally. EMarketer has a more upbeat projection for e-commerce with growth in Asia Pacific exceeding traditionally strong markets in North America and Europe.
Hence, the increasing adoption of e-commerce, online (PC and mobile) payment, and fuss-free fulfillment will undoubtedly impact the economic performance of retail stores as rising numbers of digitally savvy consumers abandon past practices of window shopping, browsing within stores, and interacting with the sales staff to enjoy the "reduced friction" presumably from e-commerce.
At the same time, the increasingly ubiquitous high-speed mobile data networks in high-density shopping areas led to the trend of "showrooming." This trend refers to smartphone handset users searching online for product information, comparing prices with other retailers, or getting feedback from contacts in social networking sites while browsing in physical retail stores. A subset of these "showrooming" shoppers would be redirected by mobile search engines (sponsored searches) and consumer research sites (affiliate marketing) to e-commerce stores, thereby cannibalizing retail store sales.
Image credit: Shutterstock
Clearly, physical stores have to adapt to cater for a rising number of sophisticated shoppers in the maturing world of digital shopping on mobile devices. One approach is to embrace mobile and its "always on" access to the Internet as a ready tool to complement the physical attributes displayed in the stores. Here are three ways that brick-and-mortar store owners can leverage on the mobile Internet to navigate in today's e-commerce world:
1. Give shoppers the best Internet experience on your terms
Since it is almost impossible to prevent shoppers from using the Internet via mobile data networks, physical store retailers should take control of the Internet experience by providing high-speed wireless Internet access for shoppers within the store.
Such high-speed networks are assumed to be faster than 3G or 4G mobile network access offered by operators, thereby reducing loading time for browser and app access. This relative speed delta represents the value to convince shoppers to use the Internet access within the shop.
Having in-store high-speed wireless Internet access offers retailers an excellent opening to "direct" in-store shoppers to register online to access the fast-speed Internet on their mobile handsets. This registration allows retailers to build demographic profiles, track repeat shoppers, and measure time spent within the shop - important data points that allow retailers to tailor their in-store strategies such as shelve displays and product mix.
2. Build data sets
Once a mobile user correctly configures her smartphone to access the Internet within the physical shop, then her browsing history on the in-store Internet network will offer the store owner valuable data to answer questions such as:
a. What are the top 10 "most researched" products?
b. Which sites do the customers use to perform their research?
c. What is the most-used social networking platform?
3. Sales attribution
Realistically, customers can decide the channel they wish to make their purchases in and this sometimes means that there will be a segment of retail shoppers that "drop off" to make their purchase online. As a result, the channel contribution relative to sales revenue could show shifts in purchase behavior and raises questions on the value of maintaining physical retail store presence.
These questions are valid from a financial perspective as there are costs associated with the presence of physical stores. However, I would argue that channel contribution should be measured from the context of the path to conversion taken by customers to complete the sale. This hypothesis suggests that sales conversions can be attributed to different channels such as retail stores and such attribution should be measured for its effectiveness.
For instance, a shopper who visits a physical store and uses a smartphone to scan unique QR codes displayed on shelves in the store can point to that moment as the start of the conversion path. Hence, an appropriate attribution metric can be assigned to the physical store as the shopper is guided by the smartphone (e.g., store mobile apps) to either complete the sale online using the high-speed Internet access at the store (which translates to a higher attribution score to the physical store).
Physical retail stores are not going away as they give shoppers the visceral buying experience, which is difficult to replicate in a digital environment. However, retail stores have to adapt to the irrevocable digitalization of the sales funnel brought about by high-speed Internet and smartphone technologies. Only then can retail stores be characterized as relevant and tailored to the needs of today's digitally savvy shopping community.

With stormy winds blowing at shirttails Sunday afternoon, another successful Dayton Chamber's Oodles of Noodles festival wound down in the nick of time, but not before World War II Vets were honored with a parade, ceremony and appreciation ribbons.
Funds raised this weekend were donated to the Honor Flight Program, giving Dayton Post #8660 members an opportunity to fly to Washington, D.C., to see the WWII Memorial erected to let them know the hell they endured to protect Americans from an aggressive Nazi or Japanese conquest, must never be forgotten.
On Saturday, though, sunshine created perfect weather for tasting 'oodles' of noodles prepared by chefs' extraordinaire vying for champion-cooking accolades. While public and official judges tasted and tested, visitors shopped, toured historical buildings, reunited with old friends or feasted on Indian tacos, root beer floats, hot dogs and favorite chilled beverages. Kids jumped to their hearts' content in a bounce house while the Battle Born Civil War re-enactors spooked the crowd once in a while with an unexpected loud blast cannon blast.
Corvettes and Vets
Unfortunately, due to a fatal crash, Highway 50 was closed for five hours near Mound House on Sunday, delaying the Chamber's parade to honor WWII Veterans, but no one complained while waiting for the humble honorees to arrive.
At last, the parade began, starring these impressive Veterans, in their 80s and 90s, each in their own chauffeured shiny, classy Corvette with their name, years of service and branch of military posted in ultra-magnified letters on a banner placed across every vehicle. Some served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam!
Their arrival and following ceremony created cheers and tears: It was my favorite event at this year's celebration.
Many of these patriotic Vets belong to Dayton VFW Post 8660, the home of some of the most wonderful individuals I've known. Paul Eades, Dayton Post 8660's recently retired commander, opened the ceremony, and speaker Lyon County Deputy, Master Sgt. Al McNeil, retired, dressed in Marine Corps dress blues, reminded the audience that these soldiers served and suffered in horrendous, dangerous conditions, some away from home for years, and, when the enemy surrendered, they resumed their lives, uncomplaining, found jobs to support families and moved on quietly, never asking for anything from anyone.
Indeed, they deserve special treatment whenever possible.
McNeil pinned new ribbons on the Veterans, adding to the myriad of medals they'd already earned when putting their lives on the line.
Blue Star Mothers of America, Truckee Meadow Branch, attended and donated a basket for a raffle with funds allocated to the Honor Flight Program. This national nonprofit organization, founded in 1942, brings Moms together to look out for Veterans who've served or are still on duty. They raise funds to buy items Vets might need or help with rehab programs and are available just to talk when necessary. I noticed on line that they were in Fernley May 25 at the Veteran's Cemetery, and June 22 at the 3rd Annual Guest House Bike Run sponsored by the Northern Nevada Veterans Coalition, Fernley - these ladies are doing an awesome job.
A choir of young children from Dayton elementary schools, and their talented instructor (don't have his name), delighted the crowd, paying tribute to Veterans singing patriotic songs, including "Proud to be an American".
Should the United Nations rule America?
Do you really want the United Nations to rule our country? To send other countries' enforcement officers to our doors and through our houses to inspect for hand guns. This will set a freedom-blocking nightmare of a precedent.
Over last weekend, the U.S. Senate missed giving our 2nd amendment Constitutional right to other nations by four votes. Americans: You'd better wake up.
Sen. Harry Reid sold us down the river again, voting yes on the small arms bill to put us into the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
The bill's verbiage simply stated: "To uphold the Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Treaty."
This bill, supported by Obama's Administration, places a global ban on the import and export of small firearms and will affect private gun owners in the US and implement international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.
Forty-four Democrats and two Independents voted for this bill.
In his narrow victory in the last Senate race, Reid promised to support gun-owners rights and wouldn't have won the election without their vote.
And now we have an immigration bill being rapidly pushed through Congress estimated to cost taxpayers $30 billion and Sen. Dean Heller voted for it - it's filled with pork for different states so Congresspersons feel obligated to vote affirmatively to be re-elected. Immigration laws are so vital, why must our politicians vote for themselves and not for what's best for this country?
