2002 PG RETAILER OF THE YEAR: Giant Eagle
True to its Steel City ethic, the Pittsburgh market leader blends core values, strong family bonds, and plain old hard work to distinguish itself as a key player in an ultra-competitive market.
The view from the top hasn't clouded Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle's perception of retailing reality in its quest to perpetually reinvent its brand. Building that brand, and in turn its business, has been the result of a combination of Old World persistence, patience, and attention to customers and details.
Its talons wrapped firmly around its Western Pennsylvania home turf, Giant Eagle spread its wings over Northeastern Ohio in the mid-1990s and quickly established itself as the dominant supermarket player there as well. For providing a blueprint not just for survival, but for market leadership, in the age of the Wal-Mart supercenter, Giant Eagle is Progressive Grocer's overwhelming choice for 2002 Retailer of the Year.
"It's been interesting to see Giant Eagle reestablish the combination food and drug format in Cleveland, because when they bought Riser Foods, it had only recently removed pharmacies from its Cleveland Stop-n-Shop stores," says Chuck Cerankosky, a Cleveland-based analyst who follows the supermarket industry for McDonald Investments.
Through a series of acquisitions commencing in 1981 with the Youngstown-based, retailer/wholesaler Tamarkin Co. and continuing through its 1997 purchase of Riser, the chain also acquired several strong mid-size independents and emerged as the share leader in the Youngstown/Warren, Akron/Canton, and Cleveland marketing areas.
The company's commitment to double sales has led it into uncharted territories like Columbus and Toledo two years ago, and northern Maryland earlier this year. "We've been very focused on remaining independent and pursuing growth, whether from organic growth, fill-in opportunities, or existing sites," says e.v.p. of retail development John Lucot. "We have this appetite to grow."
As the industry consolidates, "I like the fact that they have been acquisitive as part of a larger strategy," says Cerankosky, noting the chain's strong distribution arm, significant private label program, and compelling prototype.
Retail watchers say that while most supermarket chains do well at either a price strategy or providing a unique shopping experience, Giant Eagle succeeds at doing both.
"Giant Eagle will challenge Wegmans, H-E-B, and Publix for being among the finest and fastest growing retailers in the U.S.," says Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director of Strategic Resources Group in New York City. "Giant Eagle is the perfect balance of professional management and family ownership," says Flickinger, who predicts that the chain "will track with Wegmans in a parallel path to become the two dominant, privately held, multi-regional retailers east of the Mississippi River."
Moving into Toledo, Columbus, and Maryland, notes Flickinger, "they very quickly and successfully siphoned off sales and share from local competitors."
Giant Eagle also maintains an edge with what Flickinger calls "the ideal competitive combination of a retail chain and corporate wholesaler that offers the great procurement power and the additional size, scale, and distribution efficiencies of a voluntary wholesaler. And it's that combination that makes it very difficult for others to compete against."
The retail experts who pay at checkout seem to be in agreement. Christy Tippet, a resident of the high-rent Treesdale community in the northern Pittsburgh suburbs, says, "Although I've visited several new stores which have recently opened up in our area, they just don't measure up, and I always go right back to my Giant Eagle."
A family affair
With sales topping $4.4 billion, the chain is one of the nation's largest privately owned food retailers and distributors. It employs some 35,000 people in 124 corporate and 89 independently owned stores that fly the Giant Eagle banner and is ranked No. 19 on the Progressive Grocer Super 50 and No. 29 on Forbes' Top 30 private corporations. Its stores are a diverse lot, ranging in size from 12,000 to 120,000 square feet, though company spokesman Rob Borella says that, these days, "we have found the sweet spot to be in the 60,000-to-70,000-square-foot range."
Giant Eagle's history dates back to early 1900s when three families—the Goldsteins, Porters, and Chaits—founded Eagle Grocery, a chain that eventually swelled to 125 small grocery stores. They sold to Kroger in 1928 and three years later joined forces with the Moravitz and Weizenbaum families, owners of the OK Grocery chain, to form Giant Eagle.
As banners like Kroger and A&P exited the Pittsburgh market, Giant Eagle took wing as a powerful local brand and industry leader, thanks largely to the vision of the chain's self-effacing chairman and c.e.o David Shapira, grandson of founder Joe Goldstein. Along with his daughter, s.v.p. of marketing Laura Karet, and a seasoned team of Giant Eagle "lifers," Shapira carries on the company's dual mission to improve the shopping experience for its customers and the work environment for employees.
Through four decades of measured growth, the chain has employed just four advertising campaigns, remarkable in an industry littered with the skeletons of abandoned positioning strategies. Moreover, the company has continued to thrive with features such as video and supervised child activity centers since forsaken by other chains. And Giant Eagle's deft utilization of the database fed by its eight-year-old Advantage loyalty card is a clear illustration of the way it gains an upper hand over competitors.
"It's imperative for us to continue finding ways to differentiate ourselves from the competition," says Karet. "The key is being able to find ways that make people want to make a left turn into our parking lot instead of a right turn into someone else's."
Senior v.p. of merchandising John Tedesco concurs. "We can differentiate ourselves all we want and it can have absolutely no meaning. But when it's done with a true understanding of what's important to customers, we are able get out in front of the trends and start helping customers determine what it is they really want."
When she joined her family's company in 2000, Karet wasted no time putting her classical brand-building skills to work. "I knew coming in that we were blessed with this tremendously powerful brand that had been really well attended to since its inception," says Karet, a Procter & Gamble-trained brand manager who left her job as a director of marketing at Sara Lee to join Giant Eagle. "The main opportunities revolved around taking what was already so powerful and just going with it." Karet concentrated heavily on "getting the right tools in the toolbox," she says.
Enter Giant Eagle's current "Make every day taste better" advertising campaign, which Karet says embodies the total focus for the chain's marketing efforts since its launch in August of 2001. Giant Eagle stores had always provided the backdrops for TV spots, but the new campaign focuses on the home experience after the shopping trip. In one spot, a mom unpacks her groceries and produces something special for everyone in the household—except her preschool-age son, who is forlorn. Seconds later, the clever mom turns the Giant Eagle grocery bag into a "superhero" vest.
"We think about the role we play in our customers' lives—not just as the place they buy their milk, but where they might host their children's birthday party," says Karet.
She credits Giant Eagle's team of outside analysts, recruited from the region's leading universities, with enabling the chain to home in on shoppers on an individual store basis, "which may not be the case with the store three miles down the road."
Working at luck
Giant Eagle has successfully battled a variety of formidable formats such as the omnipresent Wal-Mart and still-emerging players like Whole Foods, Costco, and Festival. That hasn't daunted Giant Eagle or David Shapira, who is as committed to being at the forefront of change as he is to the old adage that competition makes you better.
"We continually seek to improve our products, services, and business practices," says Shapira, whose deep roots in the community are reinforced by service on the boards of 14 corporate or community organizations. Among other posts, he is vice chairman of Carnegie Mellon University's board of trustees; chairman of both the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance and the Pittsburgh Symphony boards; a director of the United Jewish Federation; and a member of the boards of both The Mellon Bank NA and Mellon Financial Corp.
Shapira downplays his role in shaping the business. "Whatever it is, we've been lucky.
"We place a very strong emphasis on technology and we have invested heavily into it to help us gain an edge with the single biggest opportunity before us: the changing lifestyles of consumers," says Shapira. "Taking costs out of the system while simultaneously improving services cannot be accomplished by guesswork."
Shapira, who holds a master's degree in economics from Stanford University, says the company's strong capital expenditures program has been "a major focus of our efforts through the years, and an important reason for our success."
Shapira derives the most satisfaction from the high standards his company has set in providing a first-class shopping experience for customers and a valuable working experience for associates. "I am very proud that our company provides many challenging and diverse career opportunities for our employees," he says.
And there figure to be more and more of them joining on. Shapira says Giant Eagle will continue to expand into contiguous markets, all the while acknowledging the challenges presented by potential acquisitions. "The further you get away from your home base, the harder it is to manage," he says. But exposure to those challenges, he adds, can be minimized by "looking for prudent, wise candidates that are the right fit."
Shapira was guided by the same right-fit mentality when assembling his inner circle. President and c.o.o. Burgo, who began his career in 1970 as a produce manager, is now responsible for coordinating operations of all the operating companies (see box below).
Burgo spent considerable time developing formal associate training programs as well as the independent retailer program, begun in 1984, which today contributes over 40 percent of the chain's total sales. "Whether independent or corporate, the ownership of our stores should be transparent to customers," says Burgo.
The company's culture, integrity, and longevity in the marketplace have created "an extremely loyal workforce that believes in Giant Eagle," a remark that is enthusiastically seconded by Lucot.
"The thing that is important to understand about our company is that we have an involved board of directors who really care about our people. Their integrity, character, and community permeate the whole company," says Lucot. "It amazes me to think about the many long-term employees here. I myself am going on 29 years. It's a special place where people give of themselves at all levels, and it's really representative of how we've grown as a company."
Lucot offers particularly high praise for the company's front-line associates. "People sometimes don't fully appreciate what store associates contend with. The only reason we're here is that we run retail stores and we need to have an obsession to support their efforts. I truly believe our store associates have the toughest jobs, and the most difficult responsibilities. They don't have the luxury of saying, 'I'll get back to you Monday.' They have to make decisions instantaneously. Many others get credit and the accolades, but they really are the true stars of our company. I'm very proud to be associated with them."
Among Giant Eagle's most recent employee retention initiatives is an intense retail operations training program developed to expose the company's various departmental "star performers" to every aspect of the business to facilitate their knowledge and talent for continued advancement.
In recounting the ascension of Giant Eagle, executives called attention to key developments along the way:
•Absolute Minimum Pricing. This campaign born in the early 1980s was "very, very key to getting us on the trail to becoming a dominant player in Pittsburgh," recalls Lucot. "We were so singularly focused on that for several years, and it really changed who we were by providing a solid foundation for us to grow."
•"Destination Store." The company's code name during the late Eighties when "we started to think about having a strip center consolidated under one roof with a series of individual businesses," says Lucot. "That was the beginning of what has evolved today with our prototype as destination in and of itself."
•Pharmacies and video rental. Iggle Video, the chain's store-within-a-store home entertainment business, is considered in a league of its own by industry observers and consumers alike, says merchandising chief Tedesco. "Not only did we not exit the video rental business, we are in it in a major way. In most markets, we're the share leader." Ditto for Giant Eagle's in-store pharmacies, which have morphed from impersonal counters to customer-friendly operations amid well-stocked HBC departments. Drive-through prescription windows were recently added.
•Category management. As an early adopter, Tedesco says, "we were able to change our focus from buying products to selling goods that are important to the customer." Aside from its "indisputable reputation for produce," Giant Eagle's other perishable departments will continue to focus on catering to individual tastes and needs, "with a greater emphasis on new points of difference in every business line."
Community service at Giant Eagle tends to focus on hunger, education, and family. Since commencing its Apples for Students program 15 years ago, the chain has provided schools with more than $20 million in computer equipment and other materials. It also has long-standing associations with food banks, United Way, and The Race For The Cure.
Giant Eagle places a marketing priority on being visible at major sporting events. It is the official grocer of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers, the Cleveland Indians and Browns, the University of Akron Zips, and the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets.
What's next for the Pittsburgh phenom? Can it continue to work its varied-format game plan as Wal-Mart, Target, and Costco increase their full-court press on the grocery business? The biggest issues, says analyst Cerankosky, are the dubious economy and the challenges associated with non-union competitors, "which represent both low-end competitors and high-end operators alike," he says. "Like every other union chain, Giant Eagle must be extremely aware of store labor productivity issues going forward."
Eagle's eye view
Going forward. That's a two-word phrase that fairly sums up the guiding ethic of Giant Eagle. One of the company's real strengths, says Lucot, is its aversion, to "spending too much time on what we've accomplished. We're very much focused on the future, on remaining independent, and on continuously learning because we know each and every day we have to continue to work hard to stay in the game."
Tradition and a sustained commitment to Giant Eagle's long-established principles also figure into the chain's plans for the future. Retail consultant Flickinger, himself the product of a grocery retailing family from western New York, says it's a logical conclusion to envision Laura Karet as the heir apparent at Giant Eagle. "Where there are potential succession challenges for H-E-B and Publix in the U.S., and Loblaw's and Sobey's in Canada, Giant Eagle, Michigan-based Meijer, Inc., and Wegmans are the only three large successful family-owned and operated business with strong plans of succession."
Flickinger describes Karet as "brilliant, very professional, and also very nice. She cares about people and the shopping public and, while her peers at other chains are all running around looking for tee times and letting Wal-Mart steamroll their businesses, Laura is very much like her grandmother, grandfather, and father in just working the business as hard—if not harder—than anybody out there."
By demonstrating its competence, enthusiasm, dexterity, endurance—and above all, focus—Giant Eagle appears fully prepared to stay in the game.

Healthcare Unions Eye Gains in 2014
The five-member National Labor Relations Board is sharply pro-labor, and could provide favorable rulings that will make it easier to organize next year. Expedited elections are "the biggest concern that employers should have," says one expert in labor and employee relations.
The uncertainty and shifting landscape in the healthcare industry continues to favor organized labor's efforts to unionize hospital workers, and there is no indication that the trend will slacken in 2014.
"We have seen a tremendous increase in union activity and petition activity since mid-summer," says James Trivisonno, president of Detroit-based IRI Consultants, which tracks organized labor activity in the healthcare sector for the American Society of Healthcare Human Resources Administration.
"The catalyst is change as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Hospitals are scrambling for ways to reduce costs and improve processes. Those translate into change. People don't like change. Even if it doesn't result in cost reduction, the thinking is it's my job and the way I do it is changing. I don't understand it unless it is communicated properly. I liked the old way we were doing things even though it was inefficient, and I was used to it and that is the way we did it for 10 or 20 years. Unless properly implemented and executed, change can result in uncertainty. Uncertainty leads to poor quality and turnover or they get a union to promise that it won't happen again."

* Yahoo has the domain name at $1.99 for the first year. Details here.
* GoDaddy.com is offering a new one-year domain name registration for $.99 cents via coupon code "LOVE99". A $.20 ICANN fee applies.
Speaking of domain names, you may have noticed this week was a little harder to access me at blogspot as I bought www.mummydeals.org. My friend Candi had a hard time writing down the old address for 9 people she stood in line with at Walgreens who couldn't believe she bought a ton of stuff for only $.38!! She was the one that begged me to switch!
Which also reminds me, if you'd like business cards for my site (my friend Lisa D wanted me to make them downloadable but I ain't that clever!), please email me and I'll hook you up!

We're twenty three weeks into the year. How did that happen? It's June already and my brain is telling me it should be getting warmer. It should be summer but it's not. It's winter here in the southern hemisphere. It's one of those things that I could never wrap my mind around, this switch of seasons. While the sunny days are really nice, I'm not enjoying the chilly nights.
It's getting down to the mid fifties at night which wouldn't be a problem if we had insulation and a heater, but we live in a cement block apartment with single pane windows, tile floors, and no heat. Did I mention that we don't have much bedding? We brought sheets and a duvet cover, but no duvet. You can bet that we'll be stuffing one into the suitcases when we come back!
But other than the chilly nights, I can't complain. We live in a beautiful town with hundreds of years of history, and we can still see bits and pieces of that history if we look closely. This bridge is called Ponte Torta and was built in the late 1800's.
It's nice to see these pockets of history which have been preserved (sort of). I've spent so much time walking around town while finding what I need to make our apartment a home, and I love seeing the bits and pieces of what the city used to be. When we get back I want to make sure to visit the train station for photos. It's been there since 1867.
It's harder to spot the history in Centro where all of the original buildings have been replaced by store after store. I'm glad they've at least kept the big church, which is in beautiful condition.
The stores? One after the other, mostly clothing and cheap "gift" shops, and several big appliance and furniture stores. It's always crowded downtown, but Saturday mornings are especially packed.
I've battled the crowds and scouted out a couple of places where I've found what we need for the apartment. Now that my kitchen is a bit more useful I've been cooking a lot more. Do you like my cute little roasting pan? It's small, but it does the job.
We've also been taking care of all the administrative stuff that needs to be done when you move into a new place. We each spent about two hours in line to get our fingerprints registered for the security gate, which is never a fun thing but was made easier because we had a pretty nice view during those two hours.
And now our non-traveling, home-settling, mundane-shopping weeks are through. In a few days we'll fly away again and readjust to England. My body will settle into summer, which is what June should be. Granted, it will be a northern-England summer which will probably be nearly the same as our Brazilian winter, but I'm looking forward to the ridiculously long days, and I'm excited to see what Newcastle looks like with flowers and green leaves.
During the time we're back in the UK we'll also be spending a bit of time in Scotland. We have a vacation and a wedding to look forward to, and some really fun things planned for my son's visit. My nephew will come with him, and I can't wait to see how he enjoys his first international trip.
What have you been up to? Do you have any big plans coming up? Summer vacation is nearly here, and I know we're not the only one with family vacation plans. I hope you'll share a photo or link below and show us what you've been planning.
Thanks for linking up, and I hope you all of your upcoming plans are as fun as you hope them to be.

Holds my hand in public barely kisses me in public rarely when we get it on.
Most Helpful Guy
Seems like something is wrong with your boyfriend. I've never heard of a man not wanting to kiss or sex up his girl. Either that or he doesn't find you attractive anymore for some reason. However if that was the case I doubt he'd bother to stay. So I'm banking something is wrong with him, maybe he's gay or bi curious. You should confront him, make it so he can't escape or stray from the subject. Talking it out is most likely the only way to solve your dilemma. It could also be as simple as bad breath maybe one of you has halitosis. Hey who knows maybe I'm wrong?
Do you nag and follow him around? If so then stop at once. Do you constantly seek this kind of behavior? Stop that too. Pick certain times when you expect affection and don't do it in public. Let him know when you expect to be cozy and then also let him know when he has his own space. If you are pulling pulling its a natural reaction for someone to pull back. Also, have you just come out and asked? Men can be so dense at times. Maybe he just expects you to be the one to reach out because you always do. There are also lots of fun games out there that don't have to be x rated you can play. They have them on line and in stores. It could be that he just doesn't know how and the game gives instructions on exactly what to do and each activity is only for a few minutes. They may help him get warmed up.
Good Luck.

Kitchen tables see a lot of use. From quick family dinners to children scratching out their homework, the kitchen table is one of the most worn pieces of household furniture. While dining room tables often keep their shine longer because they are used less, the kitchen table still occupies an important place in the home. If you want to stain your kitchen table, remember these simple tips.
Preparing the Table
Before you can stain a table, you need to strip the table of its previous finish. Do not skip this step. The new stain will not hold well if you do not strip the old stain, and the look of the whole table will suffer. The finish on the table is also likely to be uneven after use. If you do not strip it, the worn patches will shine through the new stain. Since staining a table is already a long and somewhat difficult process, take the extra time to strip the table well.
You should also consider the types of stain available before you purchase a can of stain. For instance, pigmented stains are colored stains with a binder mixed in. While these do offer attractively colored finishes, they might obscure the original wood. Oil-based stains are popular, but they take longer to dry and the smell is quite pungent. Water-based stains are growing in popularity due to the decreased drying time, odor and environmental impact. Dye stains provide great results for high-quality wood; they do not use pigmentation and they do not hide the grain.
Applying the Stain
Before staining, ensure the table is clear of all debris and dust. When you apply the stain, you can use a soft cloth, paper towel or small paintbrush. A cloth works best, since you will have the most control over the actual staining process. If you do choose a paintbrush, choose a high-quality paintbrush with natural bristles; the cost of a quality brush usually starts around $8. While a cheaper brush might work for some projects, any bristles that come loose from the brush will be permanently set into the stain of your table. Spend a little extra to get better results.
Apply the stain in steady strokes as well, following the grain of the wood and allowing the stain to work into the wood. For a lighter color, rub harder while staining. For a darker color, apply the stain lightly.
Once you are finished staining, the stain must dry for at least 24 hours. Let it sit, and then coat it with one to three layers of polyurethane to add a protective covering for the table. Apply the polyurethane with a thick brush. Again, invest in a quality brush, and brush thoroughly and smoothly.

Weather Patterns
Rainfall that occurs in the Amazon originates from weather patterns that travel from the East, in the Atlantic Ocean, to west, where they move across the Amazon lowlands and approach the Andes mountains. At the same time, daily transpiration of Amazonian trees releases a large quantity of moisture into the air. As this moisture is pushed towards the Andes, it is squeezed into narrow valleys, such as the Kosnipata Valley shown below. The clouds converge and condense into rain as they hit the mountains, which trap this rain and direct it to th etributaries of the Amazon River. Nearly 20% of all the freshwater runoff to the oceans on the planet travel through the Amazon River.
This rain benefits Amazonian rainforests, which require significant moisture for most of the year. Forests use this moisture for photosynthesis, and afterwards, the water vapor is released into the air. Deforestation in the Amazon inhibits this pattern, and dries out forests in the western part of the continent. Scientists estimate that 90% of the current Amazon must stay intact in order for this moisture cycle to continue and for forests to stay healthy.

Cadillac is pitching the new ATS at driving enthusiasts and techno geeks, so it's only fitting that the safety gear on the new sedan has few rivals, even above its price point.
All ATS sedans come with a strong core, girded by eight airbags--including dual front knee airbags--and traction and stability control, as well as active headrests. Bluetooth is standard, but a rearview camera isn't offered on the base car, unless the CUE package is optioned.
CUE itself is a larger discussion in our Features section. In terms of safety, it's the price of futurism. No doubt, using an infotainment interface, period, is a distraction, but CUE is a neater integration of smartphones and voice controls than we've yet seen. And maybe, in the long run, that's safer than a poorly integrated system.
Other more assuredly safety-boosting options include adaptive cruise control; front and rear automatic braking that can prevent or mitigate impacts at low speeds; a lane-departure warning system paired with a haptic seat that vibrates a bottom cushion when the car crosses into the opposite lane; and blind-spot monitors with cross-traffic alerts. The ATS also can be fitted with a head-up display, configurable for the driver's favorite settings, whether they include posted speed limits, a tachometer, or navigation. Rear side airbags are a major option not usually seen in domestic luxury sedans, but often found on German luxury four-doors.
The ATS has standard OnStar. With its GPS and cellular connection, it can dial emergency services in the event of an accident. It also can be linked to a myCadillac mobile app that performs all sorts of functions, from reminding you where you've parked, to setting a service appointment.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) hasn't yet rated the ATS, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded it five stars overall.

The patch looks like the first master page is renamed twice. 2. The standard master pages are renamed but what about notes and handout master pages? 3. The indices of original name and new name are different. Original index of page n is n+1 while the index of the new name is n. 4. The original names contain the string SD_LT_SEPARATOR ("~LT~") that is used in various places. The new names don't. Does the code that uses this string still work? grep SD_LT_SEPARATOR sd/source/* found 69 places. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Lee suffers injury setback
Australia have confirmed that opening bowler Brett Lee is a major doubt for the third Test against South Africa at the SCG.
Last Updated: 28/12/08 12:55pm
Australia have confirmed that opening bowler Brett Lee is a major doubt for the third Test against South Africa in Sydney after sustaining a foot injury.
Scans have shown that Lee, who didn't take the field on day three of the second Test in Melbourne, is on the verge of suffering a stress fracture in his left foot, but he may still bowl again in the ongoing match.
The injury is another setback for Lee - who has series figures of 1-200 against South Africa and has taken only 21 wickets at 45.5 since the start of Australia's unsuccessful series in India.
And team physio Alex Kountouris reported it is "inevitable" Lee will need to be rested for the SCG Test match.
"I don't think he'll be able to play the Sydney Test. We'll wait and reassess at the end of the game," he said.
"If he's got what we think he's got - and it's been confirmed by scans that he's got a stress fracture brewing - we're going to rest him for a period of time to get it to settle."
Lee will, however, be given every chance to bowl in the second innings at the MCG.
"Short-term future is we're going to try and get him to bowl in the second innings," Kountouris added.
"We're doing everything we can to settle it down, have one good go at it in the second innings. He might bowl one ball; he might bowl 10 overs or 15 overs."
Kountouris admits there is a risk Lee, who will not be given painkillers to see out the match, could end up breaking the bone should he bowl in the second innings.
"But in some people's opinion that might be a better scenario, because the bone heals better," he said.
"If you have a tiny crack it can take a long time for it to heal. That's not what we're aiming for, but there is a risk of that happening. Pain will guide us to where he is.
"There was so much pain he couldn't bowl today; he wouldn't bowl if he was in the same pain the second innings."

Re: WILLIAM AND ISABELLE (PAGE) ROBERTS
In reply to:
Karen Clawson 6/10/13
The 1910 US Census indicates that William immigrated in 1866 and Isabel in 1868, which suggests a marriage in Minnesota or elsewhere in the US. Do the death certificates give no clues as to their birthplace or the names of the parents.The census also indicates their birthplace as Canada-Fr. which suggests Quebec or perhaps New Brunswick which had a large French-speaking population.
The 1875 Minnesota State Census shows Isabel's birth place as Fort Garry (now Thunder Bay, Ontario), but her name is given as Elizabeth.William must come from elsewhere or he would have been identified as Fort Garry as well.
The 1885 State Census shows that the oldest child was born in the Dakota Territory, not Minnesota, so perhaps that is where you need to be looking for a marriage. Isabel is also noted as Lizzie in this census.
1905 State Census indicates Isabel as "Ind(ian)" vs. White. 1880 Census shows her as Indian and the children as 1/2 white.

Anna calls on a furry friend to support coffee morning
Former interior designer and TV presenter, Anna Ryder Richardson shows her support for Macmillan Cancer Support's World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
The 50 year-old, who appeared on Changing Rooms and now owns Anna's Welsh Zoo in Pembrokeshire, has ventured into the animal enclosures to encourage people to host or attend a coffee morning in unique locations.
Macmillan's World's Biggest Coffee Morning encourages people to get together with friends, family and colleagues to have a cuppa, a slice of cake and a chat to help raise money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
Anna Ryder Richardson said: 'I'm really excited to be supporting Macmillan for their annual fundraiser. I think World's Biggest Coffee Morning is a great idea because everyone likes tea, coffee and cake and it brings people together.'
'People can host a coffee morning anywhere, even in a zoo! The fundraiser's a chance for individuals to get together to raise money for Macmillan, raise awareness and celebrate what Macmillan does.'
'It's amazing to think how much of a difference something as simple as a cup of coffee or a piece of cake can make to the lives of people affected by cancer. I would strongly encourage people to get involved and host or attend a coffee morning near them.'
The charity is appealing for more people than ever to support World's Biggest Coffee Morning to help raise crucial funds to support people affected by cancer.
Susan Morris, General Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales, said: 'Macmillan in Wales would like to say a huge thank you to Anna Ryder Richardson for supporting our biggest annual fundraiser, World's Biggest Coffee Morning.'
'We want to make sure no one has to face cancer alone but we can't do it without the support of the amazing people who fundraise for us so we are extremely grateful to Anna for encouraging people to take part.'
'Sadly, every year nearly 18,000 people in Wales hear the devastating news that they have cancer. This means Macmillan's support for people diagnosed with and living with cancer is in more demand than ever.'
'Every pound raised by those taking part in events like World's Biggest Coffee Morning will help us fund our vital services and help people affected by cancer to cope with the impact of their diagnosis.'

In Russian prisons, inmates wear their criminal records on their skin. What did they do? What do their tats mean? This doc provides the coding key…
Much of this information and background was used to great effect in the now classic Russian mob film Eastern Promises with Vigo Mortenson, a special favorite of Noir Nation, even if it has the so called lapel moment, associated with films that want to keep one hand in the light, as the other hand explores the darkness.
(NB: Those familiar with the making of Double Indemnity will remember the term being used by George Raft, who considered playing the villain and asked about when the lapel moment would occur, the moment when the villain turns his lapel to show a police badge, showing he had been a good guy from the start. When told there was no such moment, Raft turned down the role.)

Editor: Less sex, more news for Truth
Topless models and graphic adverts for prostitutes will soon become a thing of the past in tabloid newspaper Truth as controversial Auckland blogger Cameron Slater makes changes at the helm.
The Whale Oil blogger has been hired to turn the ailing weekly paper around and replaces outgoing editor Joseph Lose.
Slater has never been far from controversy and in 2010 was convicted of breaching court order suppressions after he outed several high-profile New Zealanders.
He said his aim as editor was to return the paper, owned by Matthew Horton and David Crow, to its former glory.
The paper, which was founded in 1905, had its glory days from the 1960s to the 1980s, when it sold more than 200,000 copies per issue. Its print run is now now 16,000 copies a week.
The paper said in a statement that it would launch a 24-hour website in coming months.
Slater's first edition as editor will be on sale from next Thursday and he said he would make "incremental changes".
Among those would be attracting mainstream advertisers to increase revenue and broaden the appeal to a wider audience. Currently the centre of the paper consists of advertising placed by prostitutes.
"I can't make changes straight away, particularly when there's revenue impacted on that, but we will be making changes on the adult side of it and reducing that," Slater said.
"Blokes want to take the paper home and they can't because the missus gives them gyp."
However, the presence of a bare-breasted page three girl might remain.
"I don't think we want to see lots of tits and bums, but I don't have a problem with [the page 3 girl] myself... but we'll see how it goes."
Slater, whose appointment was announced yesterday, said he had already met with the newspaper's "excited" staff who were making changes in order for the paper to be "lethal" in the market.
"We've got a project that will be getting underway, basically today, that will look at revitalising the Truth," he said.
"It's a focus on the pedigree of the past and moving forward by looking backwards. Truth was known as a hard-hitting, investigative journal and we're going to return it to that."
There will also be cross-over with Slater's Whale Oil blog, which will continue to be maintained separately from the newspaper.
Slater is still locked in a two-year court battle with insurance company Fidelity Life Assurance over it cutting payments to him despite him being clinically depressed.
He received around $100,000 a year under an income protection policy due to depression caused by being "physically and mentally" worn down.
"Business used up all of my time and mental bandwidth and I was actually exhausted, fell over basically. So I make sure I have the breaks from what I'm doing, make sure I take time out for myself, make sure I keep myself fit and look after my diet," he said.
Slater said his new role would not impact on his case.
"The details of that case are particular and time-defined and it's around their decision to cease paying that out," he said.

Well after a long time from here, I'm back. I had almost but given up on my dream of being a singer/songwriter, except for my family of course. I mean, I would have kept playing my shows I do and such but as for the big dream, I figured it was about time to pack it up. Then out of the blue, another opportunity. Well, I don't think I should pass this one up either. The last one didn't pan of so great but hey, get back on the damn horse and ride it again. So I'm back on here to give it another go. Life is to short to pass things up.
I heard a long time ago, "You don't regret what you do, you regret what you don't do". I have tried to keep that in mind when I make decisions. I have been given what could be a chance of a lifetime dropped right in my lap. If I move foward with it, it could change my life and the life of my family. So, what do I do? If I don't do it, will I look back and wonder what could have been? The opportunity is right here and now and will probably never show it's face again. I have thought about it, reserched it, and thought about it more. I am going to do it. A chance to record a single with a professional group in the studio probably will never come my way again. The opportunity to work with record labels will probably never knock on my door again. There are always the butterflies and such when taking on a new project but, I figure if I don't do it, well you know, I will regret it later. Don't make rash or quick decisions, but if it helps you move foward in life, Do It!
When I was a boy, country music was defined with songs sung by people such as George Jones, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and such. 3 chords, steel guitars and songs about heartache and heartbreak. Now the country music of today sounds like the rock music of when I was a boy. The good old country music is now labled "alternative". What did I miss? Should it not be the other way around? I know progressions in music happen but it seems the basics roots for todays country music comes from a different tree. When I listen to Cry, Cry, Cry or Your Cheating Heart and then turn on the radio, well, the radio gets turned back off. Just give me back my country music. Just because you wear a cowboy hat doesn't make you country. Country music comes from the heart, not from the wallet.
IN 1980 I was 14. I was into all kinds of music. My 8 track tape collection was growing. Especially with Beatles albums. Then the music died. At least the day the music died in my generation. First Elvis and now Lennon. I thought, 'what is going on?'. When will it stop? Many have gone before and many have gone after but I'm not sure if any has made such as influence as Lennon. We may not all agree on his views or his actions but we can not deny his song writing and his peeformances. The world will always miss John Lennon but he will live on in his music and in our hearts. RIP John
Well, my first blog entry. Yes, I don't think Hank did it this way, but what other choices do we have as artists? Today it seems to be about how fast we can get rich and famous. But there is no "I" in the we I mention. I would love to do it the way Hank did it. Honky tonks and taverns. Walk in and play. Today it seems we all need fb, my space, videos and a dozen other avenues to get our music out to the masses. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em....and I may need to bend a little but I for one, will try to keep the great days of country music alive. Good ole country music that when you hear it, you think to yourself, "Hey, that song's about me!"

Your feet have felt neglected ever since you started walking on your hands, and your hands have been jealous of your feet ever since you sold your fingers to pay for college. Reunite these extremity-enemies with today's deal: for $29, you get a manicure and pedicure (a $60 value) at Profiles Hair and Nail Studio, located in Hoover.
Pay a visit to a full-service salon such as Profiles Hair and Nail Studio, and vent your stress directly through the ducts on your fingers and toes. At Profiles, visitors can have a wide range of digits pampered, limited only by the number of phalanges they possess. With a complete manicure and pedicure ($60), the gracefulness of every hand or foot motion will be enhanced, from scratching chalkboards to poking holes in paper walls and using toenails to pry the tops off cans of sauerkraut. Using OPI and Essie polishes, one of Profile's trio of experienced and friendly nail stylists will attend to your 10 palm fronds for half an hour, then commence a 60-minute pedicure that includes an organic-coconut-oil-fueled knee-high leg massage, leaving you cleaner than a freshly scrubbed bar of soap and trimmed more neatly than a doorframe.
Profiles specializes in helping clients look and feel their best without resorting to solutions that involve tar and goose feathers. After a mani-pedi from Profiles, you'll finally be able to confidently raise your glass, propose a hearty toast, and prove to everyone in the vicinity that holding champagne flutes with your feet is not unattractive, especially when those feet have been cared for by professionals.

And that is to organise everything for you. Book the bed to fall into, send you maps, give tips on the best pubs to stop at, and where to find the best pastry shop in town to stock up on carbs before you head off. Oh, and they usually organise having your bags transported for you too. So, all in all, this is hassle free hiking. Handled by those who know how.

Life isn't easy, no matter how good you think you've got it.
I believe in the God's love,
the love of my parents,
the love of my friends,
the fun of life,
the power of words,
of actions, of friendship, of courage,
I believe in hatred,
I believe in pain,
I believe in sadness,
anger, violence, quitting,
And I believe in the bullying of other people
My Personal Credo
"Life isn't easy, no matter how good you think you've got it", that's the phrase I live my life by. Because life isn't easy, it isn't easy for anyone. Everyone has struggles and issues. It could be good one second and bad the next.
This credo describes my life. My mom always tells me,"you've got it good Hunter", so I apply it to my life. This credo always reminds me that life requires courage and perseverance. Life isn't just a piece of cake, it's rough and rugged. If anyone thinks life is great, they are wrong. You could have all of the money in the world, but still have hardships in your life.
This credo will help me throughout my life, it will never change. Unless my life completely falls apart, this phrase will always describe my life. This phrase describes most peoples lives, even if they think it doesn't. Everyone that lives in this country we call America should think this. That life is hard. This credo will shape how I think in the future. When I grow up. When I go to college and when I get a job. Life will be even harder then. I can see it evolving in front of me because I am growing up. I'm already in high school!
This credo is important to me. It will help me to grow wiser in my life and my decisions. I would hope that everyone would put this credo in there life. Because it describes everyone's life. It will help everyone to help there lives to be actually easier! Because it will make them wiser in what they think and what they do with there lives.

This is a fanfic by Japanlover86.
The story is about a starving Japanese sniper and a American soldier, 7th day of being stuck. Will they both survive, or will one of them begin to suffer? Find out what happens as this explores Ryou and Eric's struggle for human safety.
Chapter 1Edit
21-year old American soldier Eric Pakton, was just following orders, when he went inside Ryou's office, inside was Ryou, emaciated and starving, he looked thinner from starvation, he walked over to him, his stomach was growling, Ryou looked at him hungrily, then turned away
(No Ryou, you're not a cannibal!) The man thought in his head
"I wish I could give you food, but Jonathan Woods said he would kill me If I did." He told the Japanese sniper
" (Please, sir, I'm so hungry!)" pleaded the shy sniper, he was clutching his stomach, he had not eaten for a week
"I understand, Ryou, but I know you are really hungry, but there's nothing I can do about it." He said gently
A deep rumble filled the office, Eric looked at Ryou, he was blushing and curled up
"You are really hungry, Ryou Shako, but Jonathan Woods said that I couldn't give you any." Eric said
Jonathan Woods came in, he didn't look happy
"Heh, the all-powerful sniper of Shako, with an empty stomach, I'll just leave you here to die, you deserve to die, Tojo." Jonathan Woods
'Ryou hissed at that term.
"Haven't you heard? World War II is over, this Japanese sniper is really hungry, he hadn't eaten since the bombing of Nagasaki, Emperor Hirohito announced that Japan has surrender, this guy should eat." Said Eric to Jonathan
"He can eat his yukata, what does he do, to deserve food, nothing, he should die." Jonathan said.
" (Eat my yukata? What?)" Ryou said
"Don't listen to him! Yes, you're starving, but, I can't help you." He said, as he left the room with Jonathan, then Jonathan locked the door
Chapter 2Edit
A week later, Eric went back, he could seen Ryou has eaten the top part of his yukata, he looked like a concentration camp victim, he wore his IJA jacket where the top part could have been, he looked slightly nauseous
(Wow, he must of been really hungry, Hm, should I give him my food rations?) Eric thought in his head.
" (It wasn't satisfying)" Ryou told him,
"Sigh, I understand that you were starving, but I cannot help you." Eric said
Jonathan came inn.
"Holy s***, he actually done it!" Jonathan exclaimed
" (Shut up! I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 2 WEEKS SINCE NAGASAKI AND I HAVE TO STARVE TO DEATH!)" Ryou yelled at Jonathan
"Yo, Ricks, he looks like an liberated POW from a Japanese POW camp, ribs showing slightly, malnourished, and his poor little shrunken stomach is still gnawing at him." said Jonathan, then sarcastically at the last words
Ryou then collapsed from hunger
" (I-I-I'm so hungry.........)" He said weakly.
Eric and Jonathan then left the starving sniper's office then locked the door
Chapter 3: DeathEdit
Eric, a survivor named Kai, and Yuuya, Ryou's son entered the office
" (Otosan, you've been trapped there for 3 weeks, I got you fresh fruit, you've been possibly starving, here!)"
" (So hungry----help me Yuuya.....)" He said weakly, after that, Ryou was dead.
"Gomenasai, Ryou, I couldn't help you." Eric said sadly, he didn't want the Japanese sniper to die from hunger from being locked inside.

Check out this recent report showing that tablets are taking over the workplace. Do you use one at your work? http:/

Try filling out a tax return on a tablet with no extra monitors and just touch. I'm testing one for my IT usage, but they will never work here. Other places they may fit quite nicely.
Jul 6, 2012 at 4:50 UTC
I, too, am the official tablet tester at work here and I have found that they are a mixed bag of blessings and curses.
Some things, like e-mail and other similar tasks work just as well or better on a tablet and you have the added benefit of not being tied to your desk.
The downside comes with applications from any software vendor smaller than Microsoft. Most small vendor apps aren't built to work on tablets, and virtualization on them is still less than stellar in my opinion.
Jul 9, 2012 at 8:45 UTC
Extremely hit or miss in this arena. I'm testing one at the moment, but I'm not sure how well it's going to work for the specific job I'm investigating it for.

Very limited appeal here. One is being tested for an inventory application with a scanner plugged into it, but they won't be introduced for general type usage.

HCS Computer Solutions is an IT service provider.
I believe among everyday user of 1 or 2 programs it will see a spike. If you just do monitoring, browsing, email, or doing sales presentation. Personally to me they are a great toy. Actual functional use for me in the field it has a long way to go. Too many network appliances still require serial ports, and wired LAN connections to do the job. It's something for the excutives to use not the people doing the work in IT.
Jul 10, 2012 at 6:50 UTC
We need a field device that works both on and offline with MS Office 2010 files. I have sales reps I'd like to have sending digital files rather than pictures of handwriting or faxes back to the main office.
- iPads have a wide variety of protective covers and great battery life. What they lack is a truly compatible Excel product that works both on and offline.
- We also tested a Samsung Series 7 Tablet PC (i5 processor, Atom is a user experience nightmare). It's everything we could want except the battery life is a little shorter than we'd like unless minimizing the battery use is the main focus every time we use it, and no one is making a case to provide any level of weather resistance (I'm looking at you Otterbox O.o). The Windows 7 interface isn't exactly touch-friendly, but it works well enough once you've learned how to work with it.
- We've considered Motion Computing devices, but at 3x's the cost of the alternatives, that's an awfully expensive alternative when you consider I could replace my entire field solution 3 times as often with the Samsungs or iPads.
Jul 10, 2012 at 7:26 UTC
I use my touchpad at work to keep track of orders from vendors, RDP into my servers/desktop while servicing workstations,etc. From a non IT standpoint, all the companies owners, each in charge of a different division (marketing, mechanical design, electrical design, project management) use the BB Playbook, and are inseparable. We have in house applications on them that talk to our ERP/MRP, accounting, email, etc.
Jul 10, 2012 at 10:02 UTC
We have been testing the IBM think pads and the IPad 2's I think with regular buisness applications we are split on what works better. We have apps that we need on the apple side but nothing on the android side. Also we use excel and that works great on the android but stinks on the apple. Email and web works great on either. Getting docs back and forth is better with the IBM. But the graphics are better on the IBM and some other things and you have USB ports. Plus the IBM works better with vmware view. So right now i am on the fence.
Jul 10, 2012 at 11:00 UTC
I have a work tablet but is it actually used for work? Not so much at this point, but I am testing a way to use these on our shop floor for collecting data.
