OK, you are sitting at a coffee shop and noticed your battery on your laptop is very low. You look around and there is only one power outlet in the entire lobby available to plug in and two people are already using it. Yes, I know, what kinda coffee shop only provides one outlet for it patrons to use?
So now, you think, Ah-Ha- I need to Tweet that! Seems like the thing to do..right? Right!
Well, "Taa-Daa!"…what would be your reaction towards the coffee shop if they @replied to your Tweet telling you something like..'this is a Coffee Shop and we are in business to sell coffee. We have adequate power outlets to do our business…'. And ,as you know, when you see the infamous "…" it means…OH Wait, there is more… which the coffee went on to say in a second tweet,(Taa-Daa!)…'Maybe you should put your PC up, and relax and enjoy your cup of coffee'.
Your reaction is going to probably be to ask yourself..'aah, Where is that Un-Follow Button, again?' Unfortunately, the trillions of others who just so happened to follow this thread on Twitter are also looking to unfollow the coffee shop, or at the very least, not be very interested in going to the coffee shop after seeing this altercation. Where does that put the Coffee Shop's image on line? Taa-Daa—in the toilet.
UnMarketing Rules
there are a large number of businesses who produce 'Taa-Daa' type of responses to the chatter they get about their business online. This is a huge #FAIL.
The above incident was just one of many example Scott Stratten , author of the New book 'UnMarketing', recently gave in his presentation to the Dallas Social Media Club. His UnMarketing approach to business marketing is very enlightening and straight forward. His message is..many businesses simple do not understand the damage a 'Taa-Daa' remark can have to their relationship building..yes, social media is based on building relationships.
I am sure most of the population of Twitterville has received a 'Taa-Daa' reply to a few of their post on Twitter or Facebook. I have received quiet a few 'Taa-Daa' replies from misguided individuals and businesses in the Golf industry which just proves many of the old school marketers in the golf industry still do not get that old school marketing is dead. Relationship building has taken the place of most methods of marketing and social media is taking the marketing world by the throat.
The damage received from taking a defensive approach to something posted Twitter is irreversible. So, take it easy out here in La-La-land. There is business to be made through effective relationship building.

NICKEL, TEXAS. Nickel (Nickle) is a rural community on Ranch Road 532 twelve miles northeast of the town of Gonzales in northeastern Gonzales County. It had acquired a post office by 1886, and in 1890 it had triweekly mail delivery, a gristmill, a gin, a general store, a winemaker, and a population of twenty-five. By 1896 mail was delivered daily. The community had been reduced to one business and ten citizens by 1933. By the mid-1940s its population had grown to twenty-five, but after 1948 no further population figures were available. Nickel was still identified on the 1988 county highway map.

text: Hi I just wanted to see if anyone else had heard this before. I ordered my phone from amazon and paid 199.00 no tax and when I called to activate it with Verizon, the lady told me that it wouldn't change my upgrade date. I looked today on my account and the phone that was eligible for an upgrade, still says its eligible. How could this be possible? What a deal, It was cheaper then ordering it from Verizon, I got it about a month faster because I ordered it last friday and received it on Monday, and it doesn't change my upgrade date. It just sounds too good to be true.

Termidor SC
Buy Now
Ed from San Diego, Ca writes,
For a 6 in.X6 in.X10 ft trench it looks like 4 gallons will fill less than 1/4 of the trench. Is that correct?
Your aim is not to actually fill the trench. You aim is to drench the trench. You will need to spread the four gallons of diluted Termidor SC over 10 linear feet of the 6 inch x 6 inch trench.

Monroe Doctrine (1823)
Of events in that quarter of the globe [Europe], with which we have so much intercourse and from which we derive our origin, we have always been anxious and interested spectators. The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly in favor of the liberty and happiness of their fellow-men on that side of the Atlantic. In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense. With the movements in this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective Governments; and to the defense of our own, which has been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.

Several Western girls soccer players collapsed to the pitch as Truckee players screamed in rapture just mere moments after officials ended the Class 3A state championship game on Saturday afternoon at Bettye Wilson Park.
Of course there's the joy of victory.
And the agony of defeat.
The Warriors' fairy-tale season came to an unceremonious end on Saturday with a 3-0 loss to the Wolverines in the state final.
It was the first state title game for the Western girls team, and droves of fans cheered on the Warriors (17-6-2) on Saturday afternoon. Those same fans also consoled misty-eyed players as Truckee (22-1) celebrated its title.
After the game, Western coach Shoichi Sato gathered his players in front of one of the nets, and a semicircle of Warriors' fans watched as he delivered an emotional soliloquy about what exactly the team accomplished this season.
"They really brought the school and community together," Sato said after he addressed his players. "It's a really special opportunity for all of these girls to not only play soccer just for fun but to play soccer for Western High School and the community. They've made each member of the school, admin, students and faculty super proud."
Even in defeat.
The Warriors had their fair share of scoring chances early, and Ellyson Reynada rang the crossbar about 20 minutes into the first half with a missile from 10 yards out.
The two teams traded possessions for most of the first half until Truckee's Ava Seelenfreund cashed in on a scramble in front of the net right before halftime.
Wolverines' forward Amber Simonpietri added two more goals in the second half, and Truckee kept Western at bay for most of the half.
"Simple passes. It was as simple as it is, just to keep possession," Wolverines coach Kyle Kelly said. "We just tried to keep it simple. They're a good team."
And Sato said he thinks the Warriors have room to grow.
Several talented seniors led the way, but Western has a strong crop of underclassmen that Sato is hoping can build on this season's successes.
"For me, I just want these freshmen, sophomores and juniors to remember what these seniors meant to the team," Sato said. "They're going to be gone, but we have such a strong core … For us, you've got to remember this moment and build on it because it totally can snowball. We can be a really good program."
Sato thanked the seniors profusely for their contributions: a 3A Sunset League championship and the first state runner-up in school history.
"It means the world to us," senior Kirsten Molina said. "We made history. And that's all that matters."

As a local Chandler business owner, you've invested heavily into your company. But did you know that each day that passes with your competition being more visible than you on Google is another day that they are stealing your income?
If you are not top ranking on Google search, you are losing money to competitors who are above you in the search engine results pages. The Internet has replaced the yellow pages and Google reports that 80% of local searches now begin in a search engine. 43% of local searches start on a mobile device (smartphone).
Isn't it time to move from the lesser visited pages of Google to the first page of Google search?
As an expert SEO in Chandler Arizona, we want to simplify the job of selecting the best SEO agency to meet your needs. It is our hope that the following insights will prove useful as you narrow your search for an effective, affordable and professional search engine optimization agency.
Let's look at a few common business models that exist for SEO consultants in Chandler AZ.
An independent consultant or freelancer is someone who offers their SEO services on a part-time basis. One advantage of working with an individual consultant is that they focus on working with local businesses primarily, and they generally live in the area where they are targeting clients. For many local business owners, it is nice to know the person you are leaning heavily on to build your business is an easy drive away.
The second model you may see is that of a Chandler SEO Agency. This organization structure is easy to spot as they will feature their team of SEO consultants heavily in their web marketing and sales presentations, however, the costs may be higher.
To sustain a large operation that is needed for a big brand marketing agency, you need to consider that for every dollar you pay in fees, at least 40% or more will go to covering overhead (fixed cost). Unfortunately, assistants and fancy offices add little value to ranking your website.
Large SEO companies have highly structured processes that they run every client through. Processes are not bad, in fact, you should inquire as you interview SEO firms about their processes. But when all websites are treated equal, this can lead to inconsistent results because not all websites will behave the same when it comes to ranking on Google.
Building an in-house SEO function is another approach. Which, if your business can justify the expense, may make sense. For a company that is a 100% pure-play online business, this can be attractive.
But you must consider that the position of Search Marketing Director may be the only job in the company that even the CEO is not qualified to interview candidates for. Thus, it is advisable to work with an expert SEO consultant initially to get your site ranking. After the site is ranking, this person can help with screening candidates.
I've seen models where the consulting engagement ran as long as 18 months with the first six to nine months focused on improving the position of the company's website in the SERPs, followed by establishing a process and structure for the SEO function.
There is a tradeoff between fixed cost models and variable. SEO consulting is a demanding skill set and to hire someone of the caliber you need will not be cheap. For this reason, many companies who express a desire to bring SEO in-house quickly realize after tabulating the total cost, that they can get better value with an independent consultant or agency.
To hire an expert Chandler SEO consultant that can deliver will not be "low cost." If cost is your highest priority over quality, chances are that you will end up with a consultant who cuts corners. Or, you may not receive the full benefit that comes with being ranked at the top of Google search. And in the worst case, you will find the tactics they use will harm your site and hurt your ranking ability.
Google has been especially aggressive with cracking down on sites that use spam techniques to manipulate rankings. Sustainable "white hat" SEO tactics will take longer than short cut methods. But the results will also stick which means you'll spend less in the long run and have a much better chance of returning ROI on your investment.
Provided you ask the right questions and pay attention to our recommendations, you will find an agency capable of making a positive impact on your business.
To develop an SEO strategy requires a lot of diligent work and you shouldn't expect cut-rate pricing, but you also do not need to pay the highest price. Professional SEO consultants, whether freelancers or an agency should charge a reasonable fee that is in-line with the value (additional revenue) that they can bring. And of course, they should also deliver, exceptional service.
Tips for hiring a top rated Chandler SEO company
Do you know what your business needs from SEO?
Business owners choose to work with #1 rated SEO Ranker Agency because we deliver on our promises. If a client does not have a good understanding of the business benefit from obtaining free organic traffic on Google, success will be hard to achieve as expectations will not be in sync with the outcomes that are possible from SEO. Search engine optimization is a momentum play, which means if a company needs revenues in the next 90 days, SEO may not be the best marketing vehicle.
However, if a company has a healthy base of business (even if small) and can sustain the investment in SEO for a minimum of eight to nine months, the results that are possible will not only propel revenues forward, but will set a foundation for a whole new level of growth.
We do not work with every company who approaches us since we work diligently to exceed the expectations of all our clients.
To learn more about our qualification process, visit our Discovery Form here. It just takes 7 to 10 minutes to see how we can help you.
Finally, the greater the clarity that you have in the end result you hope to achieve, the more effective the company you select can be. When you begin working with a local SEO team in Chandler, they should provide a roadmap for how they intend to increase exposure to your website.
You don't need to become an expert with search engine optimization to be effective and build a million dollar business. This is why you are likely hiring someone after all. The SEO consultant should be able to explain in layman's language the marketing and search optimization strategies they plan to utilize. If they cannot do this, it doesn't invalidate them, but you should consider if they understand the processes that are needed to get you ranking.
One size does not fit all!
You will discover the ROI of SEO can vary greatly based on ASP, lifetime customer value, the number of customers your company can handle, etc.
Search optimization approaches for local Chandler businesses will not be the same for everyone. We develop marketing strategies that are unique for each of our clients. Remember, processes are a good thing, but they should not push every website into a one size fits all SEO model.
Given the amount of cheap labor that is available outside the U.S., SEO has become a service that is easily "fronted" by a U.S. company or representative, while the actual work is performed in low-cost labor centers. We are proud to be an SEO company headquartered in Chandler and all our work is done locally. Your website and associated files will never touch a domain outside of what you specify.
Keyword optimization
Keywords are the search terms or phrases that someone would use to find you. It is important to consider that people expect Google to understand natural language patterns. The days of typing in strictly worded search queries because it is all a machine can understand are over.
SEO Ranker Agency is a pioneering SEO agency with offices in Chandler AZ. One of the first tasks we undertake with every new client is to analyze your content and optimize the major keywords and search phrases in order to increase your rankings.
We provide all our clients a detailed analysis report which will reveal how the right keywords can increase traffic and what it will mean to your business. Once we begin working together you will receive regular updates on the ranking performance of your major search terms.
Quiz any potential firm that you are considering on what they intend to do with keyword research and optimization. If they don't have a clear answer, it could be a sign that they are a "hope and pray" agency. You don't want to leave your businesses success to chance.
Linking is a key to ranking success
Ranking specific keywords is the main objective of search engine optimization. Your SEO company should be developing links in accordance with the most important parameters used by the search engines, as factors for ranking. SEO Ranker Agency performs a detailed analysis of the linking structure within your website, and we develop a solid linking strategy along with implementation methodology.
Get Started Today!
The Internet changed everything. It's the Internet that creates many of the business opportunities that we pursue. You likely have competitors who are clamoring to be at the top of the search standings, which means the search optimization company that you decide to work with must deliver rankings, but even more so, traffic.
Based on the competition of the niche that you are in, the time it takes to rank can be 8 to 12 months or even longer. Maintaining your rankings will require regular attention, though we can generally reduce our fees significantly, often 50% or more, going into year two.
Search engine optimization is a momentum play and a strategy that requires commitment. Unlike PPC, over time your investment in SEO as a percentage of revenue will decline. For this reason, SEO is proven to be the least costly market development activity that you can undertake. Learn about PPC and the hidden costs due to fraud that few digital marketing firms talk about.

Always good
Posted by Unknown on 10th Nov 2016
I've been getting coffee delivered for nearly 2 years now. It always arrives fresh and on time, and there's always something new to try. Even my least-liked bags have been a step above the big coffee chain offerings, but my list of favourites keeps growing!
Consistent, but please mix up the origins.
Posted by Kent Vidal on 12th Sep 2016
I love Transcend beans,
That being said I wish that my first shipment hadn't been two Colombian coffees (I receive two bags a month). I am sure they will both be excellent (have only opened one), but some variation would have been appreciated in regards to the origins.
Price is very competitive and the beans arrived within three days of roasting which is perfect. (I live in SK)
Will probably continue my subscription for at least another order, hopefully with some more diversity next month.
good coffee

One of the better places and ways to get fresh coffee in canada. I've enjoyed they're coffee for a while now.
Best way to get consistently fantastic coffee in remote parts of Canada!
Posted by Unknown on 17th Apr 2016
We've been doing subscriptions for a couple of years now, and love it! So easy, no need to remember to order coffee, and some of the best coffee in Canada! We really love being able to access such fantastic coffee despite living in the Arctic. So great to have a 6 month option for those like us whose memory is terrible - guaranteed to not run out. Only thing I'd suggest is sending a renewal reminder a bit earlier - so that at the end of a subscription there's time to renew without interruptions in shipments. Thanks Transcend!!
always great!

These days, it's not uncommon to find menus that include sushi, gourmet pizza and countless other trendy gourmet options. But no matter what is offered, it's up to you to make smart, healthy decisions.When at the snack bar or vending machines, avoid items that are high in fat. That means order a side salad instead of fries or a bag of raisins instead of a candy bar or potato chips. It's also wise to drink water instead of soft drinks or alcohol.Making these changes and substitutions might not be what you want to do, but it's what you need to do if you're going to get healthy and stay healthy all season long.

Japan's Kei Nishikori has withdrawn from next week's Rogers Cup tournament in Toronto because of what his agent says is a "severely infected right big toe."
Nishikori's agent, Olivier Van Lindonk, says Sunday that Nishikori has been struggling for a week with the problem and most likely will need "a small procedure to remove the infection."
Nishikori lost to Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals in Washington on Friday. Gasquet said he could tell his opponent was injured, but Nishikori said after the match he was fine.
Nishikori, the first Japanese man to reach the top 10 in the rankings, is No. 11 this week.
Missing the Rogers Cup in Toronto deals a blow to Nishikori's preparation for the U.S. Open, which begins Aug. 25.

2017 Topics - subject to change
Planning to build or renovate your fire station in the next 5 years? Then, be sure your department and stakeholders attend this symposium. Click on the topics below for detailed program descriptions:
An Overview of the Design and Construction of a Fire Station by Jennifer Bettiol and Ray Holliday, BRW Architectsmore...
This presentation will review the steps involved in designing and constructing a new fire station. It will provide an overview of the process, from identifying the size of fire station and site you will need, costs and budgeting, hiring of a design professional, types of bidding, characteristics of a qualified contractor and what to expect in construction. Using case studies and rules of thumb, this presentation will provide an insight into what to expect from start to finish of your new station. After this presentation, you will be able to:
- Gain an understanding of the overall process of designing and constructing a new fire station
- Discern the characteristics of quality design and construction professionals
- Understand the difference between project and construction costs
Solving Sleep Deprivation for First Responders by Craig Carter, BKV Group; Dr. Catherine R. Counts, Health Services Researcher with Seattle Medic One in the Division of Emergency Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine; and, Dr. Michael Christian, Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hillmore...
At a busy fire station, responders can expect to be kept awake most of the night. As such, they will catch naps in the day room whenever they can. But even at a station with a moderate call volume, the 24-hour shift means that sleep deprivation becomes an issue for most fire fighters over their career. Bringing together scientists from different fields, this panel discussion will review the scientific literature on sleep deprivation as it applies to first responders, including the serious impacts on physical health, mental well-being, judgment, and decision making. The panel will also discuss ways the fire service can improve its response to this issue through architecture and policy. This presentation will show you:
- How to identify the symptoms of sleep deprivation in your staff and how to monitor them over the long run
- The various health and behavioral implications of sleep deprivation and how those manifest in the fire service
- How fire station design can help alleviate sleep deprivation
Hot Zone Design-Recent Developments in the Yellow Zone by Paul Erickson, LeMay Erickson Willcox Architectsmore...
HOT ZONE Design has taken root and is changing the fire industry. After advocating awareness of cancer in fire fighters and developing a system of categorizing spaces by risk within the fire station based on exposure to toxic chemicals and carcinogens, Paul Erickson has continued to advance fire station designs by including enhanced decontamination protocols and spaces within new and renovated stations. This presentation will illustrate the expanded recommendations for decontamination of equipment and personnel by using a case study methodology to show examples from recent design work. The presentation will start with an overview of HOT ZONE Design strategies to refresh those who are familiar and orient newcomers to the concepts. After the overview, the presentation will move into the main topic above and will close with a preview of the NFPA Federal Grant Study that is underway. The impact of HOT ZONE is demonstrated by the NFPA study and findings that will soon become available to the industry. You will learn the following:
- To transfer widely accepted strategies and concepts for proper hazmat incident control to new applications in daily activities at the station
- To recognize serious long-term health risks that currently exist at the fire station in order to develop and implement protocols to reduce cancer
- Recent international research
- Specific building design strategies and features for both new and existing fire station renovation efforts
A Common-Sense Approach to Station Design Issues to Battle Fire Fighter Cancer by Fire Fighter-Paramedic Keith Tyson, Miami-Dade Rescue Fire Department (ret.) and the Vice-President of Education and Research for the Firefighter Cancer Support Networkmore...
This presentation, offered by a cancer survivor, will illustrate the cancer epidemic among fire fighters through very compelling statistics. The types and sources of carcinogens found in the fire fighting environment will be explained to illustrate the challenges faced in addressing fire fighter cancer. Most importantly, the presentation will give you tools for minimizing carcinogens in the fire station. Common problems typically found in the station will be identified and methods to eliminate those problems will be offered. Several best practices that have been adopted by fire departments across the country will be shared.
Designed in North America, Engineered to Last by Ted Galante, The Galante Architecture Studio, Inc.more...
Based on the acclaimed Coolest Fire Stations on Earth presentation from last years symposium (and in response to F.I.E.R.O. audience feedback), this presentation is focused more at home and less abroad. What have we achieved as a country, and how do these stations impact our fire fighting capabilities, response times, and emergency medical services? What do these stations say about the state of Fire and EMS station design in the 21st century? Audience feedback from coolest fire stations on earth included:
- Whats happening in North America?
- What are construction cost impacts?
- How do the stations keep operating costs down?
Do We Understand the 8th Circuit Courts Ruling in Wedow, Kline v. Kansas City Fire Department? by Captain Robert Main, Honolulu Fire Department (ret.)more...
Anne Wedow and Kathleen Kline, career firefighters with the Kansas City Fire Department, successfully won a jury verdict that was upheld in a U.S. Court of Appeals which found that not providing women adequate firefighting protective gear and fire station changing and showering facilities was discriminatory. This presentation will take a broad view at the ramifications of this ruling as it relates to fire station design thought process. It will go beyond simply male v. female, but address some of the other issues within the protected classes that could lead to discriminatory practices claims being made. More than gender, we need to understand the situation of how fire fighters identify and orient themselves as individuals. In this presentation, you will also learn that sexual and other forms of harassment are based on perception and not physical evidence, and as professionals tasked with overseeing or designing facilities for everyone within those facilities, we need to do our best to engineer a solution to prevent, or at least minimize such occurrences from happening.
Responsible Fire Station Design for First Responder Health & Safety Factors by Robert Manns, Manns Woodward Studiosmore...
This three-part presentation will focus on strategies and planning elements associated with designing a responsible fire station that addresses safety and health concerns for those it serves. The presentation will be conducted in a manner that reviews health and safety concerns of fire fighters, including disease and pathogens (especially as they relate to the rise in cancer prognosis among fire fighters), sleep deprivation and its harmful, long-term effect as well as vehicle exhaust and contamination, and how the design of a station can provide resolutions for these factors. In this presentation, you will be educated about the different types of key health and safety concerns facing fire fighters and how building design has a direct correlation. You will also learn real world resolutions that can be implemented to help prevent health and safety risks for fire fighters at the station.
Programming: Start with a Strong Foundation by Lynn Reda, Hughes Group Architectsmore...
Programming for a fire station is just a list of spaces and areas right? Perhaps not. In this presentation, you will learn to move beyond the list and learn to develop a program for your station that will provide the foundation for a successfully functioning facility on opening day and well into the future. In addition, you will learn:
- To understand definitions and the basic elements of a program
- Recognize the importance of careful consideration of program elements and the long-term implications of decisions made during programming on the final facility
- Understand the tools available for effective programming
Lessons Learned: Getting Project Buy-In! by Joe Mottola, H2M architects + engineers and Fire District Manager David Sterne, Setauket Fire Districtmore...
Demonstrating the need to replace or reconstruct an antiquated station can be the easy part of the process. Getting buy-in from your community and from your local fire department can be the toughest part. Using a transparent process through conceptual design, planning and public awareness/education puts the fire department in a better position to succeed. Using an actual project, the project architect and the fire department manager (end user) will take you through the full process of a proposed project from inception of the Request For Proposal (RFP) for professional services, through conceptual design, public awareness and project buy-in, referendum approval, detailed design and finally construction. This will be discussed from the differing perspectives of both the architect and the fire department manager. You will hear, from differing perspectives, what went well, what went wrong, and, in hindsight, recommended improvements to the process, from inception through construction.
How to Afford a 75-Year Station by Ken Newell, Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architectsmore...
Every department planning a new fire station should make a goal of designing one that will last 75 years or longer. It is equally important that this station require as little repair and upkeep as possible during its lifespan. However, limited budgets are the single largest controlling factor in what you will be able to build. This session will explore methods and options successfully used by many fire departments to plan and build a functional, low-maintenance facility without busting the budget. This presentation will take you in-depth with various design considerations for your station, including site and exterior/interior building components, while also considering how you can plan a flexible design for future station growth. You will learn about:
- Controlling costs from design through construction
- Construction costs trendsthe highs, the lows and highs again
- Controlling site costs
- Single-story v. multi-story
- Construction types and their budget impacts

DRAFT DAY Building a Winning Team by J. Michael Taylor and Michael Pry, DP3 Architects, Ltd.more...
Whether you are looking for an architect with star-quality to quarterback your project or a reliable contractor to get it done in the trenches, you as team owner must learn to manage egos and expectations to build a team that can deliver a project to the end zone. This session will explore the owner/architect/contractor relationship and procurement strategies which will give you the tools necessary to assemble a successful team at the start of the season and, ultimately, develop a trophy-worthy facility for your community. In this presentation, you will learn to:
- Determine the appropriate construction delivery method to meet project goals
- Understand the steps, requirements, and contracts necessary to assemble the design and construction team
- Understand the roles and responsibilities of each team member in order to deliver a successful project
Beaneries, Bays, and Bunkrooms The Seattle Fire Department Experience by Deputy Chief Ron Mondragonmore...
What do Sake, Tsunami and Subduction have to do with 33 Seattle Fire Stations, ranging from 28 to over 85 years old? This entertaining presentation will explore the $167,000,000 Seattle Fire Facilities & Emergency Response Levy focusing on the challenges and opportunities experienced. The project remodeled or replaced 32 Fire Stations, provided a new Training Center, Fire Alarm Center, and City Emergency Operations Center. This presentation will focus on Key Relationships, stories from the trenches, and future Legacy of the Seattle Fire Department Mission.
Fire Station Jeopardy by Lynn Reda, Hughes Group Architectsmore...
Originally conceived as a small breakout session, this presentation will be the closeout general session. A big hit last year, this audience participation interaction is an excellent way to capture the key takeaways offered during the Symposium. This presentation uses the actual TV Jeopardy show game show board. This closing session is one NOT to be missed!
$3 Million a Piece: Fire Stations Designed for the Future by Fire Chief Mike Bucy, Stevens 1 Fire-Rescuemore...
How can you build a fire station designed for staying power and keep it at $3 million? Stevens 1 Fire Rescue has started to replace two fire stations with that price tag (give or take a little). Learn how they accomplished the most while keeping their budget within their voter approved bond. From the programming to the bid process, this program will lead the small guy through a large process. The first goal of this presentation is to show you how you can have a station designed to meet your NEEDS and budget. The second goal of this presentation is to show you how to use all the tools available and when to use them. The third goal of this presentation is to give you the confidence that you can have a fire station designed for the future without breaking the budget.
Sustainability in the Fire Station: From Start to Finish to Forever by Craig Carter, BKV Groupmore...
The concept of sustainability is appearing in mission statements of fire departments across the country, and most millennials report that it is an essential factor when deciding which organizations to work for. This session will recommend several sustainable strategies for inclusion into your new construction or renovation project. Some specific technologies architects are frequently asked about will be covered in greater depth. The numerous rating systems will be briefly discussed, and the session will end with some ideas to promote sustainability as part of your overall department culture. This presentation will help you:

- Understand ways to implement a culture of sustainability in your department
Value Engineering by Dennis Ross, Pacheco-Ross Architects--a Division of H2M architects + engineersmore...
What is value engineering (VE)? Is it cutting costs, counting widgets, using cut-rate materials, finding cheap labor, ignoring regulatory requirements, building out of cardboard, or is it magic? Its none of these ideas. Applied correctly, VE should create value for your project. So, why is VE considered a dark art? Probably because people dont understand the concepts and dont get the information in a manner that can help them maximize the solution. How do you begin this effort? What tools do you need? Where do you find the correct information? In this presentation, you learn how VE can work specifically for fire stations and their sites. Explore the tools you can use to successfully design and build the optimal facility for your budget. Learn about cost-effective means for planning, feasibility, programming, design, and construction. In this presentation, you will learn:
- Size, scope, cost v. life cycle, time and quality
- To use VE to explore and quantify new trends in station design
- LEED, sustainability, Green, energy usage and how VE can help you balance these concepts
- To identify areas for potential cost optimization
- To dispel perceptions from owners, architects, and contractors
- About real world examples and how they worked
- Everything from floors, finishes, equipment, layouts, site and much more are all in play
- Helpful tools in selecting an architect and its team
- Examine renovation, addition, demolition, moving, building new and how VE can help
- Avoid hidden pitfalls
- The facts and magic that make every project, its processes and outcome completely different, yet with similar elements
- That VE is a team sport
Going Vertical: Case Studies in Multi-Story Fire Stations and Mixed-Use Facilities by Christopher Kehde, LeMay Erickson Willcox Architectsmore...
As property values and population densities increase, many fire and rescue departments need to consider options to minimize their building footprint and maximize the vertical development potential for sites. This presentation will use a series of case studies to discuss fire station design considerations in multi-story and mixed use projects. Topic will include: integration of fire stations in Public Private Partnerships (PPP) with work force housing or other commercial uses, site size and layout considerations, structured parking, vertical and horizontal response paths, program adjacencies, and cost comparisons. This presentation will demonstrate how Going Vertical can broaden development opportunities for fire and rescue facilities. From this presentation, you will:
- Learn about the advantages and disadvantages in multi-story fire and rescue facilities compared to single-story facilities
- Gain perspective on building fire stations in urban environments
- Better understand Public-Private Partnerships and how they can fund municipal projects
- See multiple case study projects showing multi-story and mixed use fire station projects
- Have a shortlist of key design considerations to review with their design professional about vertical design considerations
When to go Vertical: Multi-Story Fire Stations by F. Thomas Lee, Samaha Associatesmore...
When faced with designing a new fire station one crucial decision point is when to build a single or multi-story station. Often this important decision is reduced to consideration only of the size of the site. This presentation aims to demonstrate a process for understanding and balancing the operational value, first costs, and operational costs to compare the options for building single or multiple levels. From this presentation, you will learn:
- How to make an informed and defendable decision following collection of specific information, comparison of options, and understanding of operational impacts
- The different benefits for attendees from varying backgrounds
- Site constraints and related development costs.
Not Just a Garage The Anatomy of the Modern Apparatus Bay by Robert Manns, Manns Woodward Studiosmore...
This two-part presentation will focus on strategies that are used to develop effective and functional apparatus bays and support spaces for operational efficiency and training. The first part of the presentation shall cover items such as spatial requirements, lighting, mechanical systems, vehicular exhaust systems, fire protection, structural conditions, door operations, and apparatus clearances. Additional information shall be reviewed for associated support spaces such as decon areas, turnout gear zones, SCBA, and workshops to ensure departments are providing hygienic conditions for first responders. The second part of the presentation will review how departments can implement training elements within the bay spaces in a cost-effective manner. You will gain a better understanding of how quality based design solutions can improve first responder health and potentially extend the life of apparatus through appropriate bay design. In addition, you will learn how certain training elements can be implemented into an apparatus bay in a cost-effective manner.
Your Old Fire Station — Renovate or Knock it Down? by Bob Mitchell, Mitchell Associates Architectsmore...
Learn about the devastating impact of the 2015 revisions of the International Building Code (IBC) on the ability to cost effectively renovate an essential facility. Almost all fire stations will eventually undergo some degree of renovation. Your station may be an older building in poor condition and so you are wonderingis it worth saving? Your facility may be in decent shape, but you are considering renovation to address consolidation, gender parity, bunking in, firefighter health and safety, training features, changing weather patterns, or the possibility of a shared facility. Or, you may be looking to re-purpose a structure that is not currently a fire station. This presentation describes the steps to take when determining if your existing building and site can be modified to meet your needs and whether it is better to renovate it, knock it down and rebuild, or move to a new site.
Maximizing Efficiency: Small Fire Station Design by Ryan Ollson, Cornerstone Architecture, Inc.more...
In emergency services, every second counts and response time does not start when the wheels of the fire truck begin to turn. For the crew, the timer starts when the notification of an emergency is first received. Providing the shortest and least obstructive path from anywhere in a fire station to the emergency vehicle shaves off critical secondsunnecessary movement and distance equal wasted time. Using fire stations number 7 and number 11 in London, Ontario as case studies, this presentation will review the process used to develop a standard station design for the London Fire Department which emphasizes response time and operational needs to achieve an efficient plan. By attending this presentation, you will:
- Understand that a fire station is a tool used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Learn to analyze and categorize a fire station functional program based on priority rating system for proximity to the apparatus bay
- Know how to employ this strategy to plan a facility with an efficient floor plan and balanced turnout times
Site Seeing: Finding the Right Site for Your Next Station by Zak Pierce, CLH designmore...
Site selection requires thoughtful, strategic collaboration and planning. Cities and towns across the U.S. are experiencing a rapid growth in development that require the need for comprehensive planning. Along with growth, comes the need to build or expand fire stations to meet the needs of the community. Key steps are necessary to ensure the success of a project and community acceptance. This presentation outlines the planning process, identifies key stakeholders, and explores several case studies. You will be able to:
- List the critical components that need to be included within the site analysis process
- Be able to apply tactics for successfully engaging the neighbors of a prospective site
- Be able to identify who needs to be on the site selection committee and understand the importance of having the right people at the table early in the process
How to Plan and Design a Successful Shared Public Safety Facility by Jim Stumbo, Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architectsmore...
Historic Preservation + Expansion a Case Study from Start to Finish by Ted Galante, Galante Architecture and Lynn Washburn-Livingston (ret.) Fire Chief Davenport (IA) Fire Departmentmore...
This presentation will take you through an entire project from initial planning to final completion. It starts with understanding the history of the existing facility. This includes looking at the limits of the surrounding properties, who owns them, and potential for expansion. The design team was sequestered during this initial period, meeting with fire department and city officials only. You will be informed about how the early design studies helped define which properties to purchase, leading to formal land acquisition. The presenters will discuss formal design acceptance, documents, and interviewing potential construction managers. Included will be how the Building Information Model (BIM) was used in the design and construction and the eventual construction process and project phasing that ended with a ribbon cutting in December, 2016. By attending this presentation, you will gain a full understanding of historic preservation and decisions that might need to be made when considering such a structure. You will learn about the decisions regarding finances as well as the overall process of renovating and expanding any building.
"Consider This " by Captain Don Collins, Clemson Fire Department, Professor, Clemson University (ret.), and Fire Station Consultantmore...
Consider This will be a fast paced comprehensive case studies look at the ways various fire departments and their architects have handled design issues that, while unique to the project, may have implications for your project. The presentation will also feature some unique solutions to design issues that are routine in any fire station project. Interspersed will be some images of design mistakes made that you will want to avoid.
These 15 minute talks are similar to the famous Ted Talks except FED stands for F.I.E.R.O. Education Development. FED Talks© are a bit edgy, concentrate on different subjects (nothing mainstream here), and explore issues and subjects that may be controversial or at least yield widely varied opinions.
The Dark Arts Series Why $h*t Costs so Much by Dennis Ross, Pacheco-Ross Architects--a Division of H2M architects + engineersmore...
Well, why does your firehouse cost so much? Seems obvious, but there are so many reasons, hidden influences and gotchas in the construction industry. Though hours can be spent on this subject, in just 15 minutes you hear anecdotes, a few doses of reality and what makes our industry unique when cost is involved. As Dennis says, listen and learn and I guarantee you will leave with the answer to this question.
Change Orders: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly by Robert Manns, Manns Woodward Studiosmore...
This FED Talk will go into the different types of change orders and the common reason for their occurrence. The objective is to prepare you for the realities of construction and to not fear them in their entirety.
Yes, You Need an Elevator by Craig Carter, BKV Groupmore...
A chilling cautionary tale about how the City of Tucson got sued by the U.S. Department of Justice and had to alter their fire stations to accommodate persons with disabilities. This will include a brief description about each violation and how it was addressed. The storyteller is the architect who did the work.
Selecting the Right "Project Delivery System" for Your New Firehouse by Ken Newell, Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architectsmore...
There are three primary project delivery methods for any new Public Safety facility. These are the traditional Design-Bid-Build method, the increasingly popular Design-Build method, and the Construction Manager at Risk (CM at-Risk) method. Each of these systems has a unique decision-making structure with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Identifying the optimum delivery method for public projects depends on how public institutions value their own input: project cost and schedule; overall project quality; short and long-term goals; and, the accountability of the project participants. This presentation will walk you through the pros and cons of each method.

text: Phil is short, weak and freshly divorced. He finds his new maybe-girlfriend Bertha irresistible, but unfortunately she comes with a six-foot-something bouncer husband who hits her for fun. He writes novels that Bertha finds boring - actually, a lot of people think his work falls well short of brilliance (Germaine Greer dismisses it as 'a shallow male fantasy that didn't add up to a novel'). But who can blame him: his acquaintances pop in and out at alarmingly convenient intervals and say things like: 'I wouldn't have believed it myself if I didn't know that form and emptiness are the same.' Russell Hoban certainly relishes a good spot of mindless postmodernism. His latest effort is profoundly silly, but that shouldn't bother true fans.

A buddy and me are looking to take a trip out west for the spring (Feb-Mar) steelhead run. We currently live in Ohio (steelhead alley area) and have never been out to the PNW for steels. From what I've read, the olympia peninsula near Forks is a good destination, but I don't know much about the area, the rivers, or any cabin rentals/lodging.
Would anyone be able to provide any insight for this vacation?

Property is often the first port of call for Australians looking to build wealth. However it's a long-term commitment that isn't for everybody. We'll help you think about the benefits and risks of real estate, your appetite for risk and whether it's the right investment strategy for you.
Give me the main points
- Property can be a sound investment option – often less volatile than shares, but it's a long-term venture.
- Property is a solid visible asset that can earn rental income as well as realise capital gains in the future.
- Shares and managed funds have historically delivered better returns than other assets but are considered one of the riskiest types of investment.
- Cash investment is a safe option, providing stable regular income through interest payments.
- Before you begin investing, it's a good idea to think about your financial goals and how long you want to invest for.

In the autumn of 1959 the seat design changed once again to incorporate a larger fluted face panel on both the front and rear seats. The passenger seat was of the foldong type where it hinged in the centre which allowed better access to the rear of the car. Both leather and all vinyl seats covers are available.
We can also offer optional colours to the original ones we have listed. Over the years we have supplied complete interiors or parts in Biscuit and Cream. If you are choosing one of these colours we can offer contrasting pipings as well to special order. Please contact us if you want something different to the standard colours.

Amjad Hussain Bhatti has been confirmed that the Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq will lead in the third and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which will start from 3 January 2017 and with this announcement all speculations have ended regarding Misbah's participation in the Sydney Test.
Amjad Hussain Bhatti, the Media Manager of Pakistan told media, "Misbah will play at Sydney and he will be captain."
When Misbah-led Pakistan team lost the second Test by an innings and 18-run against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that time the skipper had stated that he may quit international cricket.
He had said, "I think I need to think about it. I always believed that if I couldn't contribute to the team then it's no point staying there. This is a point where I need to think about that, even before the next game [in Sydney] and after the series. Next couple of days I will think about it and decide what to do."
Last Year, the Pakistan Cricket Team had climbed to the No.1 position in the Test rankings of International Cricket Council under the captaincy of Misbah.

There were a couple of knee-jerk reactions upon learning that Landon Donovan was going to sign an extension with the LA Galaxy.
The first was, "Of course, he is." Donovan long ago professed his love for Major League Soccer and the life he lives in sunny Southern California.
And, for as much as Donovan, now 31, has said recently he's enjoying the game more than ever, it was hard to fathom he was enjoying it so much that he'd want to relocate somewhere across the pond or even across the border. So, nothing shocking there.
WATCH: Donovan's GotW candidate vs. 'Caps
The second reaction was, "Okay, then. What's left for Donovan to prove in MLS?"
Let's address that second reaction in greater detail since it's a much trickier topic. Because there's a lot left for the greatest American player of all-time to prove. We're not saying "has to prove," but rather "still can prove."
The greatest can become even greater. So here goes.
First of all, Donovan has a few statistical plateaus he can achieve in short order. Donovan is four goals away from passing Jeff Cunningham and becoming the league's all-time leading goal scorer. He'll check that one off the list soon, for sure. Still, it belongs on the to-do list.
Donovan is also just 21 assists shy of passing Steve Ralston as the league's all-time leading assist man. His best single-season assist total was 16 in 2010, so if he (and a guy like Robbie Keane) remain in good form, that record could be his by the end of 2014.
Achieving those two statistical milestones is just a start for what Donovan can still prove. What else is there to do? Well, in soccer, it all begins and ends with winning. So, to that end…
Donovan needs one more MLS Cup title to become the league's all-time leader in league titles won. Right now, Donovan, Jeff Agoos and Brian Mullan are tied at five rings apiece.
But it shouldn't stop with MLS Cup trophies. If he can lead the Galaxy to the CONCACAF Champions League title, his portfolio gets even stronger. A tall order, no doubt. But if we're making a laundry list of things still left to prove, that would be a good one.
WATCH: Donovan's hat trick vs. Dallas
One or two more US Open Cups, wouldn't be a bad thing either. He can prove that trophy – which he has won just once – is worth fighting for.
Along those same lines Donovan can lead the Galaxy to their first Supporters' Shield in the post-Beckham era. That would be good for MLS, because it would quiet the talk that this is a league that only cares about the playoffs. Go prove something over an entire season.
While doing all of those things above, Donovan can also prove he's still the best American player in MLS. We're talking about a head-to-head battle with Clint Dempsey. Has MLS ever had its own Larry Bird/Magic Johnson rivarly? Well, hopefully, it's on.
Is that putting some pressure on Donovan and Dempsey? You bet. Hopefully, as competitors, this is what they signed up for. And, who knows, maybe the guy standing at the end of Donovan vs. Dempsey wins the captain's armband for the US national team in Brazil.
Getting back on track, since Donovan's here for the long haul now, and most likely until the end of his career, he can also prove he cares about helping the game after he's gone.
Before he took his three-month break from the game, he spoke about coaching kids and getting on television as an analyst, talking the game on a higher level to fans. While it would be silly to suggest he begin to do those things now, Donovan can certainly make himself more accessible than he was before his break. He doesn't need to be on Twitter 24/7, but one of the game's most articulate spokesmen needs to be heard from. When he speaks, people listen.
On the heels of the Dempsey announcement, Donovan's extension is simply huge for MLS. The two most important attacking players on the national team are now working at home. They've both stood up to critics who've suggested the best players need to play abroad.
It's an important stance, one that will surely be scrutinized as the U.S. national team wraps up qualifying and heads off to Brazil in 2014. All eyes will be on them.
There's a lot to prove.

I'm very soon going to be the proud owner of a Moog guitar! If I get the midi option, what's the best guitar synth out there? No rack units please...I prefer floor stomp boxes....and preferably under $1k. I don't want one for guitar sounds....I want synth, strings, creaky old piano, woodwinds, spacey things, etc.
What should I look into?
I've been reading some posts and it is quite daunting, the world of midi guitar? I guess the main thing is, what do I need? I won't need a pickup...the moog guitar has that built in. So I'll need a box that converts the signal to sound....and I like some spacey and weird sounds! Haha but also the ability to edit them. I really wish I could use all my VSTs in my computer in a box...is that possible?
So give me a start to finish overview of what I'm getting into here. Thanks!
