"awesome right on the beach"
we enjoyed our one night stay very much. from the time we pulled up and walked in the lobby and got our warm cookies. it was the perfect place.the drinks and food were very good. we would have liked to stay longer but we were on a time crunch.we had a slight problem in the room and they came right away and fixed it. they then came to the door and gave […] us a tin of cookies for the inconvience. everyone was so eagar to help you in anyway. we loved it there... will go to a double tree again.

"Overnight Getaway"
Very enjoyable. The hotel itself was lovely, right on the beach with a tiki-bar beachside. It was mid-week and it felt like we were among a lot of retired people as it seemed to be full of older adults. Someday we'll get there but we're not there yet. :) Anyway overall it was a nice experience. Not sure it was my cup of tea yet.Avaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com
"A beach Hotel"
This Hotel is in a row of Hotels, close to each other. If you wanted to use a chair on the beach you would have to rent it. The rooms were good, but out room was next to the elevators and you heard noise all the time, room 200 must be also 300, 400 and so on. The fan for the air conditioner had no speed control, so if you left it on all the time, you […] heard the load sound, in auto the fan would come on in the middle of the night.

"Fun, comfortable place to stay"
The Doubletree is a great hotel. The rooms are clean, updated, and very comfortable. Beds are great! They have refrigerators in the rooms and excellent coffee you can make in your room. Gulf view rooms are wonderful with a private balcony on the beach!Avaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

"Check your room location first!"
The hotel is beautiful and the staff was excellent. All the amenities are there. If you want to walk Gulf Blvd it's right there with quite a few restaurants nearby. Here's the bad part. It was noisy. The way the hotel is set up if you purchase the Gulf Front room with balcony you're going to find it rather noisy. You can forget about sitting on your […] balcony and hearing the waves wash onto the beach. We were located in the middle of the hotel on the 2nd floor with our balcony directly over the restaurant and bandstand! Yikes. The bands weren't that bad and ended fairly early although they're playing all day Saturday; that wasn't the real problem. The restaurant is open very early in the morning and the plastic chairs scrapping on their deck during setup and for those early risers was terrible. At times we actually thought it was a clap of thunder. If booking Gulf front rooms go for room numbers under 210 or higher up like on the top 2 floors. There you should be away from the restaurant - unless this is where all the Hotels.com people get placed. I've often wondered if that's the case. Discount room = bad location. This was, however, the first hotel i wondered about. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

When checking into our room the staff made sure we had one of the best ocean view rooms for our 25th anniversary. I did call ahead of time to confirm our reservation and let them know this was our 25th anniversay and they took note. What I really like about the hotel is how close it is to the water where you don't have to walk a mile of beach to get […] to the water. Enjoyed the tiki bar and great view.

"It was ok."
It was beautiful there but if you want to do something later in the night the town shuts down at 11pm. You have to drive to Clearwater or st. Pete to do anything. I wish they would offer a shuttle or something. They did tell us about the bus but that stops at 10:30. The hotel was nice. If you stay on he gulf side around 11 they play music at the restaurant […] and you can hear it in your room. The breakfast was ok they have a buffet or you can order something different off the menu. The pancakes were fluffy but you could taste all the flour they used it was cement in your stomach. Its 5.09 for a can of budlight which i thought was a little pricey and I'm in the business. The bartender that day was a one at a time order taker and just kept her head down. It's a small bar it wouldn't have been hard to say I'll be right with you or ask what we'd like. They have perfect pour spouts on their liquor bottles it's not like you'd over pour if you are making a drink and taking an order. St. John's pass is close and that was neat to see. You can eat and shop at a bunch of places and look at the inter coastal. The trip was nice but we need somewhere a little more upbeat if we wanted to go out. Needless to say we won't be going back anytime soon. It was nice just wasn't a whole lot to do. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

"Great beach, close to water"
We stayed at three hotels on this vacation. This was my second favorite, only because the other one had two bedrooms, two bath and an awesome pool, but no beach. This was a nice short walk from the hotel to the lounge chairs. The $25 per day for two chairs and an umbrella was well worth it. It was a short walk to the water or to the tiki bar where I […] had the best pina colada ever and Krystal, my bartender, was super nice. We also stayed at the Sheraton in Clearwater Beach. It was much too busy there and a long walk to the beach. Next time I will stay in Reddington Beach the entire time. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

Dr. Swerdlow studies brain energy metabolism and the role brain energy metabolism plays in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. He was the first to propose using ketone bodies to improve brain energy metabolism in Alzheimer's disease patients, presaging the development of this now-utilized Alzheimer's disease treatment approach. His laboratory is actively working on new ways to manipulate brain energy metabolism. The goal of this work is to create new and effective treatments that will hopefully help people with Alzheimer's disease.

St. John's fish and chips fans can rest easy: Leo's is not closing.
The Freshwater Road fixture took down the Leo's Restaurant sign this morning — sparking an #RIPLeos hashtag on Twitter when the removal was noticed by local musician Jody Richardson — but the owner's daughter told the Telegram it's just to make way for a new sign. She was surprised that news of the restaurant's supposed demise had already started to spread online.
"That was quick," said Melissa Pittman, granddaughter of the late Leo Pittman, at his namesake restaurant today. "The sign only just came down this morning."

GWINN -- You can get full service if you fill up at the Mobil station in Gwinn this Sunday and help out the Dead River Derby. The girls are raising money for the upcoming season, and they will be pumping gas from 12-6 p.m. and will be looking for donations.
The derby pits the girls against one another in full contact battle on roller skates. The money will help them with a variety of needs for their season.
"It's really good to help us grow the sport. We're now the third league in the U.P. and we can use all the help we can get, not only to help raise funds, but to help to raise awareness that we're here," said Jessica Shull, Treasurer for the Dead River Derby. "And then if people want to give a donation, that will go to help us with our venue rental, facility rental, insurance, things of that sort."
The season runs from September to May. Individual bouts have yet to be determined. For more information on the Dead River Derby, check out the link to their Facebook page here.

Is That Product Order A Scam? Here's How To Crack Down On Channel Fraud
4:00 PM EST Fri. Feb. 01, 2013For those battling fraud in the IT channel, it was a big victory: After a two-year investigation, Canada's Integrated Bankruptcy Team in July arrested five people and seized more than $20 million in fraudulently acquired IT and other products in Montreal.
The IBT, which comprises agents from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, said the suspects orchestrated several fraudulent bankruptcies and victimized hundreds of Canadian and U.S. companies, including numerous solution providers, by placing credit orders for products that they never intended to pay for.
The individuals, whom Canadian officials have not named, face charges of conspiracy, criminal organization offense, false pretense, fraud and identity theft. Additional charges and arrests are possible as the investigation into the group's activities continues, according to an RCMP spokesman. The RCMP declined further comment, as did the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which assisted the Mounties in the investigation. While law enforcement officials did not name the alleged fraudulent company the suspects operated, several sources said it was AVI Electronique.
Unfortunately, the arrests and seizure of equipment in Montreal have been an exception, rather than the rule, in the fight against fraud and criminal activity perpetrated in the IT channel for many years, said several executives who track such activity.
Five years ago, CRN detailed the prevalence of "bustouts" in the channel, scams by which criminals acquire clean, but often dormant, companies with the hope of obtaining credit terms with distributors and solution providers to receive IT equipment. After piling up the bills, the criminals disappear, taking the products with them to sell for pennies on the dollar on the black market or overseas. In many cases, the proceeds are used to acquire more companies to continue the cycle of fraud and deception.
It's a cycle that perpetuates, as in the case allegedly involving AVI Electronique, because those that get victimized sometimes don't even realize they were victimized or don't want to publicly admit it, according to several channel executives. The losses get written off as bad debt, a customer whose business went under, and are swept under the rug. But when you peel back the covers, it's often the same individuals, the same patterns, the same addresses spread across multiple companies all committing the same scam: maxing out credit lines and disappearing before the bill collectors come looking for them.
Some distributors and solution providers are fighting back, though. They're learning about red flags to watch out for and developing systems to ferret out fraud and prevent millions of dollars in losses. However, "bustout" schemes are only part of the fraud game in the channel now, according to Gary Bares, president of Verifraud, a firm that specializes in helping VARs and distributors protect themselves against fraud. As IT companies become better at recognizing possible fraud, the bad guys are adapting.
Today, fraudsters often pose as real companies, organizations, businesses and educational institutions -- in one high-profile example, even a military organization -- by gaining enough information about the company to set up spoof websites, addresses and other information to trick suppliers.
More than ever, solution providers and distributors must be on guard against scams that could irreparably damage their business.
AVI Electronique wasn't the only company that allegedly piled up a slew of unpaid bills for solution providers and distributors last summer, according to distribution sources. A credit report obtained by CRN for another suspected fraudulent company shows more than $260,000 in credit extended by eight distributors and VARs. That company and its executives have also disappeared, leaving the creditors high and dry with little recourse, said several channel executives. CRN is not identifying the company because neither the company nor the individuals associated with it have been charged with a crime.
One distributor, Tech Data, got lucky. It extended credit to the company but was able to get paid before the executives disappeared, said Scott Heim, fraud manager at Tech Data.
"Normally we would have caught this in the front end, but it did slip through the cracks," Heim said. "They were claiming a big market presence in the U.S., but there were no market presence indicators that the products they were buying were staying in the U.S."
The company in question blasted out numerous credit applications in the fall of 2011 and continued to do so for nearly a year as credit lines were extended because the business showed up "clean" in credit reports. Few of the organizations extending credit investigated enough to know that at least one of the individuals associated with the company had been suspected of fraud on several previous occasions and that the company vanished with hundreds of thousands of dollars in IT equipment, said Verifraud's Bares. He said it's not unusual for alleged fraudsters to disappear, which makes it difficult to prosecute because it's hard to prove they knowingly committed fraud and were not just bad businessmen. CRN was unable to contact the company, which did not respond to an email or list a phone number on its website.
The company maxed out a $32,000 credit line with SED International, a Lawrenceville, Ga.-based distributor, and was looking to place larger orders, said Chris Colley, director of litigation at SED. But SED told the company it had to pay back the open line of $32,000 before its credit line could be reviewed for an increase. The company paid up but SED closed the credit line, Colley said.
"This is the kind of thing that we take very seriously. We looked at this company very closely. They looked good on paper. Everything looked fine," said Colley, who estimated that SED gets what it suspects are numerous fraudulent attempts each month. SED works with Verifraud and other trade groups and networks with other channel companies to detect fraud.
"Sometimes they start small and appear very convincing. This recent attempt was exceptionally good. When [Verifraud] reported to us there was a problem, we realized there was a possible issue and fortunately we were able to recover our money," Colley said. "We work very hard each day to avoid fraud and we are fortunate enough to catch most attempts."
It took a lot of effort and education to learn the signs of a possible fraud, Colley said.
"We were in a learning curve. We've always been very careful about watching for this type of thing. We have worked with Verifraud for many years and we certainly give them credit for helping us to prevent several losses over the years. With their help, we are constantly learning new preventative measures," Colley said.
Now, SED has a special "Fraud Alert" page on its website that offers tips to solution providers to protect themselves from fake orders.
Fraud scams cost solution providers millions of dollars a year and can put unsuspecting businesses at risk if the loss is too large, said Darren Skarecky, vice president of finance at Insight Enterprises. The Phoenix-based solution provider used to lose more than $1 million annually in fraud before it got more serious about the problem and took steps to eliminate it, he said.
"It's always been a big challenge. Before, these were written off as bad debt because they were uncollectable. We were digging in deep [to collect after the fact] before trying to identify [fraud] on the front end," he said.
Skarecky estimated that Insight now loses far less than $100,000 annually due to fraud and that's only because some orders slip through the cracks because Insight hasn't properly followed its own fraud protection processes and guidelines.
"Those ones, we should have identified. Our fraud loss is minimal to nothing now," Skarecky said.
To reduce its fraud losses, Insight Enterprises started validating ship-to addresses and phone numbers for all new customers. It can be a tedious, manual process but the reward of less loss by fraud outweighs the costs, Skarecky said.
In truth, it's hard to calculate how much a VAR actually "saves" by detecting fraud. As Skarecky points out, if you deliver one order for $10,000 that gets paid by a bad check, the true loss could quickly escalate to six figures on a larger follow-up order before the default on payment for the first order gets noticed.
"You have to stay ahead of these things or it will cost you hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. You spend money up front, but you save a lot on the back end," Skarecky said. "You have to build in as many [prevention] practices as you can."
Most companies build expected bad debt into their budgets but many don't try to calculate how much of the bad debt is actually fraud, let alone seek to reduce that fraud, Skarecky said.
"Companies can lose 50 basis points [of profit] because of bad debt and it becomes acceptable. But I challenge those companies to look at those losses and start doing an analysis of what could have been preventable through anti-fraud techniques," he said.
A large company such as Insight can afford to have dedicated resources to investigating possible fraud order, Skarecky said, but even smaller VARs should train their salespeople on what to look for, which Insight still does, as well as let salespeople know if a new scam is going around.
"If you're not staying in front of it, you're going to be hit hard. It's amazing what they can come up with. We always feel we are chasing it a bit, but you have to stay as close as possible," Skarecky said. "If you feel you have a good system, if you get comfortable with it, you can get hit."
Skarecky is right to remain vigilant. According to Bares, fraudsters are upping the ante to avoid detection. Today, they're not just resurrecting dormant companies; they're often spoofing real companies.
The fraudsters even copy source code from a real company's website and then register a spoofed website that appears close enough to the real thing to throw some credit managers off, Bares said.
For example, organizations will use a website ending in .us when trying to impersonate a .gov or .mil customer in attempts to tricking suppliers into believing they are a government organization. To impersonate education customers, the fraudsters will add "edu" before the period in a website to make it resemble an .edu website (for example, stateuniversityedu.com).
Some people have gotten away with so much for so long, Tech Data's Heim said, that they're even brazen enough now to impersonate Department of Defense procurement agencies. In one instance, fraudsters used www.dtra.us to impersonate the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which uses www.dtra.mil.
The alleged perpetrator tried to have $200,000 worth of iPads shipped to Maryland, but Tech Data caught the scam before they were delivered and relayed the information to federal authorities, Heim said.
To protect against such schemes, solution providers and distributors should pay careful attention to a customer's Web address that might take them to a different but similar-looking address, Verifraud's Bares said. "Keep an eye on the browser to make sure it doesn't go somewhere else," he said.
Fraudsters may even include links to the company's real site to further try to throw VARs off the trail, Bares said.
In this type of corporate identity theft scam, criminals pretend to be Fortune 300 to 500 companies, not mammoth companies like Hewlett-Packard or IBM but not mom-and-pop shops either, Bares said.
"One of the dangers is that a lot of times they're big enough companies that you might already have an account for that company. If a salesperson enters the order for that account and nobody checks the ship-to address, that's a huge vulnerability," Bares said.
The overwhelming majority of fraud originates overseas, often in West Africa and sometimes using individuals in the U.S. and London to help (sometimes unwittingly) get the products out of the country.
Typically, the fraudsters don't rent an office space. The companies recruit individuals via email blasts, employment websites and even dating sites to accept deliveries of products and then reship them to different international addresses. More often than not, the reshippers don't even know they're handling fraudulently obtained equipment, Bares said.
"They start talking to someone and then say, 'Oh, by the way, can you send these packages for me?'" Bares said. "One woman that police talked to was distraught. She thought she would be marrying this person [who asked her to reship products]. The picture they sent her was literally a picture of Tom Cruise. She had even bought a wedding dress. They'll deceive them and look to gain their trust."
VARs should regularly check customers' ship-to addresses, especially those that have street views available through online mapping sites as part of their verification process, to ensure they are commercial locations, Bares said.
About 20 percent of the time that criminals pose as a real company, they have obtained the actual bank and trade credit sheet information from that company, Bares said. That poses additional problems to detect fraud, he said.
"They have someone in the U.S. intercept legitimate credit applications coming through," Bares said. "The rest of the time they fill out the credit application without filling out the reference field or they put a couple of other [fraudulent] companies that they have ties to out there."
Efforts to thwart fraud are not helped by several states where it's possible to pay to revive an old corporation that is no longer in operation, Bares said. That allows fraudsters to restart old companies and let them appear as if they've been active longer than they really have been on credit applications. It takes more drilling down to access legal documents and investigate whether it's the same executives listed or new ones, Bares said.
In one example, alleged fraudsters reinstated a company that hadn't filed any legal documents for two years. When they brought the company back to life, they initially kept the old CEO's name registered with the company (unbeknownst to the ex-CEO) and then blasted out credit applications. Four months later, after receiving credit lines, they removed the CEO's name and added a new CEO a week later.
There are a number of ways solution providers can reduce if not eliminate the fraud threat, Bares said.
First, be more vigilant in validating all the information on a credit application. Make sure the e-mail address is a corporate e-mail address and not a Gmail, Yahoo or other address. Also, check their website and physical address. If the website includes information that is off slightly or the headquarters address is a residential address, investigate further, Bares said.
His experience shows that companies intent on fraud blast out credit applications to large numbers of VARs and distributors at the same time with the hope of victimizing as many as possible before they notice or start talking to each other. Consequently, it's invaluable to develop strong relationships with peers and industry organizations to share information. It's the velocity with which the fraudsters work that makes it difficult to warn others, Bares said.
Tech Data's Heim said his company makes it a common practice to ensure the shipping address is a commercial location and that the company's phone numbers are not cellular accounts.
"We train our reps on different red flags. It might be a strange trade reference, something outside the industry or something that is self-reciprocating. Or [it can be] a physical address that's a UPS store or a Mail Boxes Etc., or the website doesn't work or hasn't been in business for five years. We look for things that don't make sense," Heim said.
Tech Data's experience is that suspected fraud can also be detected by the type of products being ordered, with memory, hard drives, notebooks, tablets, switches and projectors being the most sought-after items. In addition, a request for overnight shipping is a big red flag, Heim said.
Tech Data receives hundreds of applications for new credit terms each month; a small percentage of those get a closer look because a red flag is raised, he said. A portion of that number gets denied upon further investigation. About four or five times a month Tech Data detects a confirmed fraud attempt against the distributor.
"We'll do analytics too. Of the applications that get denied, are we making the right decision? We'll do a secondary review after the initial denial," he said. "Typically on the ones where we definitely feel there is fraud, we usually don't hear back from them. If we do hear back from them, we'll take another look but we almost never reverse the course on those decisions."
Hackers have been known to surreptitiously embed malware in resellers' systems in order to capture user IDs and passwords for distributors' ordering systems, Heim said. With that data, they can place fraudulent orders directly with distributors. Tech Data typically catches such orders with its anti-fraud processes because the products are slated to ship to residential addresses, which raises a red flag, Heim said.
"Typically, the VAR has no idea they have been hacked. We let them know quickly and run through how the fraud scheme worked with a keystroke logger," he said. "We tell them to run antivirus on their systems, change all their passwords with all their suppliers and online banking accounts."
Still, it shows how vulnerable solution providers are and how sophisticated criminals can get, he added. Because much of the fraud originates outside the U.S., there's little that U.S. law enforcement can do, Heim said.
"It's truly a global arena for fraud," he said. "One of our major initiatives is to educate our customers. They're concentrating on the business end of things. A majority don't think it can happen to them. We've recovered over $3 million [in attempted fraud] for our customers [last year]. That's a huge recovery number for our customers. We feel it is part of our value-add. I get the emails from the CEOs of these companies. They want us to train their employees. We help them in any way we can to help them from getting hit in the future. It's not going away."
A small reseller that loses a six-figure sum to fraud could put itself in a dire financial situation. "That's a huge hit to the bottom line. A lot of them don't understand the magnitude of the problem until they're faced with it. But the numbers are real," Heim said.

What do you think of the city possibly reinstating franchise fees on gas and electrical utility bills?
July 8, 2009
Cathy Boch ( in Shawnee) says...
The idea of raising any taxes when families are already struggling is not a good solution.
Peter Ehrlich ( in Shawnee) says...
Reinstatement of franchise fees is a logical approach. We have been fortunate to have skated for many years, unlike our neighboring cities. I do not want Shawnee to suffer in its status and services.
Tom Martin ( in Shawnee) says...
This is just an indirect tax on the citizens of Shawnee. The city should take a hard look at its budget and cut some services. Everyone is suffering in this economic downturn, but I don't think the solution is to raise taxes.

Point guard Al-Jahaad Bradford served Irvington well Saturday afternoon as the prototypical playmaker.
But the 5-8 junior played perhaps an even more important role for bigger county and state games along the way by also being the pesky play-stopper.
Bradford scored 17 points and recorded eight assists, including six in the first half, and also used his quickness and savvy to stall the county's top scorer and propel sixth-seeded Irvington to a 72-45 win over 11th-seeded Central in the first round of the 66th Essex County Tournament in Irvington.
Senior forward Dasawn Lewis scored 18 points and pulled down nine rebounds and sophomore Shakur Juiston and senior Jaylen Baytops each produced double-doubles to send well-balanced Irvington (13-4) into the quarterfinals Saturday against third-seeded Bloomfield in Bloomfield.
The Blue Knights were in sync and unselfish almost all game, and that was a credit to the cool but energetic floor play of Bradford. And the defense was cohesive and extremely stubborn, and that also was a direct reflection upon Bradford, who helped hold talented guard Brandon Waiters (24.2 ppg.) to just seven points, matching his season low earlier this season against powerhouse St. Anthony.
"Coach (Eugene Robinson) wanted me to contain him, not let him drive. If he drives, help defense," Bradford said. "The playmaking would come; he just wanted us to play smart defense and take the offense play by play."
Irvington's outstanding defensive effort and its well-rounded offense had the Blue Knights definitely looking like a team capable of reaching the ECT final for a second straight year.
They made a surprise trip to that level (losing to Seton Hall Prep) as the No. 11 seed in 2011, so would presumably travel a less grueling course this time at No. 6. The way Irvington played on Saturday, it looked perfectly capable of another championship visit.
"We came out playing hard because were trying to get back to the county tournament championship," the 6-4 Lewis said. "When we came out here, I knew we were gonna be ready because we played good D. When we do that, we can beat anybody we play."
The Blue Knights raised their winning streak to five games and sent Central (8-8) to its fourth loss in the past five games. Irvington had preceded its current streak with a 1-3 slump that included losses to Shabazz, Seton Hall and East Side.
"We had a little down time, but we just had to get back up," Lewis said. "We were thinking that we were better than we really were. That's how it got out of hand."
Out of hand. That last expression was the antithesis of Irvington's clean, smart play against Central. The Blue Knights ran the floor off their strong rebounding (a 48-32 edge), settled into a crisp halfcourt offense when numbers weren't there, and they did it all with very few mistakes. Irvington committed only eight turnovers, five after three quarters.
"I was happy with the guys. They stuck to the plan," Robinson said. "When Central played zone, we were doing a good job of not turning it into a 3-point contest. We're attacking the gaps with the dribble and we're attacking the gaps with the pass."
Lewis drew the early hot hand against the zone with two 3-pointers and a transition layup for eight points as the Blue Knights claimed a 12-9 lead in the first quarter. Central stuck with zone for most of the second period and Bradford and Baytops each netted six points to help push the lead to 33-21.
"The offense came early because Day-Day (Lewis) came out making shots and that spread the floor. I just kept it going," Bradford said. "When he's on, we're all on.
"The idea," he said, "was play smart, don't force nothing, play together as a group, help each other."
The support system was robust in the paint, with Juiston (12 points) and Baytops (10) pulling down 11 rebounds each and Dalins Merceus collecting seven points and eight rebounds from off the bench with the 6-7 Juiston in early foul trouble.
"Juiston just couldn't get it going early, but Dalins stepped right in and we didn't miss a beat," Robinson said. "We're developing a little depth and that's what we need around this time."
Sophomore guard Keywon Savage scored 18 points and had three assists and senior forward Davon Benoit finished with 11 points and five rebounds for Central. Savage turned in an impressive third quarter with eight points, but Juiston outdid him in the precocious sophomore competition with 10 points, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals that period as Irvington forged a 50-38 lead.
"I've been here 10 years and it seemed in the past like we just couldn't get bounces. We're getting those bounces this year," Robinson said. "That's a tribute to how hard these kids work and prepare in practice. They play hard for the most part and when you do that, sometimes those bounces do go your way."

I see that you and Mike brought it home in just over 13 hours! That's amazing! Especially considering the conditions that the trail was in for the weekend. I kept hearing that the rain in the week leading up was pretty bad and that there was at least as much mud (if not more) than we dealt with last year.
Looking forward to your report... - April 12, 2009 at 1:28 PM

Development continues to excel on North 19th.
A new town pump is officially up and running.
Town Pump's director of sales and Marketing. Wayne Moser was in Bozeman Wednesday tying up a few loose ends.
Moser says Town Pump is trying to improve its presence around the state and they saw a great opportunity for development along North 19th.
The company also plans to build a new Town Pump at the Belgrade exit and at Huffine and Cottonwood.

On Wednesday, the company formerly known as Research In Motion unveiled its BlackBerry 10, and the talk was about whether it would save the company, or turn into the final nail in its coffin.
The second level of discussion had a nationalistic tinge: whither Canada's biggest technology company? What would it mean for Canada if BlackBerry crashes and burns?
Frankly, not much.
There's a persistent myth that a country's fortunes are intimately linked to its large and internationally known firms. China may be the factory of the world, but no one took much note of its technology sector until Lenovo bought IBM's personal computer business. Likewise, no one cared how many cheap widgets were made in Japan in the 1950s, but when they started bringing Hondas and Toyotas to American shores, then they started being taken seriously.
Does having a big firm based in your country create jobs, drive the economy, improve local competitiveness?
A little bit. But not nearly as much as people like to pretend when they wrap BlackBerry in the flag.
For example, when BlackBerry, then still RIM, went through massive layoffs in July of 2011, slashing 2,000 of its 17,000 jobs, it was notable that only 9,000 of its total staff worked at the company's headquarters in Waterloo, Ont. Where are the rest?
All around the world, in other parts of Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia.
The big corporate headquarters is a major job source for Waterloo, and from there spinoffs hit the rest of Ontario and to a lesser degree the rest of Canada and the U.S. So having a high-tech company based in Canada is far from a bad thing. But we should also remember that it is not here out of the goodness of its heart.
If its sole goal was to benefit Canada's economy, surely it would build its phones here, right?
Actually, BlackBerry really doesn't build its own devices. As with virtually every major brand in the world, from Apple to Nike to Lenovo to Microsoft, manufacturing is now done through a network of contractors and subcontractors.
For BlackBerry, it's involved a Finnish firm called Elcoteq that does its actual manufacturing in China, and a couple of American companies that work in China, India, the Ukraine, and Mexico, and Hungary.
Maybe someday the manufacturing of Black Berries and iPhones and Xboxes will come to North America-but it won't be out of any nationalistic pride or desire to give Canadians jobs. It'll be because it became cheaper than the alternatives.
This is the point that is often glossed over when it comes to the debate about Canadian firms.
We tend to care about whether they fail or succeed, because we see them through maple-leaf-o-vision. But they don't care about Canada.
They can't. Corporations are like machines, and machines don't have ethics, they just do what they're designed to do.
A corporation is a machine designed to make money. It is competing with a bunch of other machines trying to do the same thing. So if making money means off-shoring jobs, it will do that.
If making money means hiring more people in Canada, it will do that.
Some of the side effects of the machine's actions are good: it's nice that people have high-paying work, and it's good that we have a lot of highly skilled people working in Canada instead of brain-draining away.
But don't mistake those accidental spin-offs for patriotic concern. It's all about whether a firm can keep making money.

Summary and Book Reviews
Nocturnes: Summary and book reviews of Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro
Like many of Kazuo Ishiguro's widely-acclaimed novels, Nocturnes charts the nature of shifting relationships, the passage of time, real and perceived failures, the consequences of deferred dreams, feelings of estrangement, and the quiet but destructive erosion that occurs when truth is denied for too long, yet it does so with more attenuated gestures and less reflection... Fans of his novels may enjoy the change of pace offered by this debut, but newer readers may prefer to begin with his previous works, which better exemplify his talents. (Reviewed by Karen Rigby).

Anyone who knows me very well understands that I like a good boy band song every now and then – something to lighten things up every once in a while. But you can take away a lot more than predictable music from these Pop and R&B stars. In fact, there are a few business lessons to be learnt from looking closely at the boy band model.
Define your niche and stick to it
When you used to buy the latest boy band album you knew exactly what you were getting. Even without listening to it, you knew almost exactly what the songs would sound like. Boy bands don't do country music, they don't do jazz, they have their niche well defined and stick to it.
There is a ton of money to be made in the smallest of niches. Whether you are passionate about wine or perhaps something as unique as scrapbooking, if you're willing to put in the work to make it happen, there is money in almost anything.
Don't try to please everyone
Boy bands pull on the heart strings of teenage girls. Sure, their audience might extend past that and the people purchasing their CDs will go beyond that as well, but the majority of the attention they get is from this market. They don't really care if 20-something guys like me enjoy their music or not because they are still getting rich from killing it in their niche and by pleasing their target market.
Not only can you make money in a well defined niche like scrapbooking, but it's also important to know your target market and audience. Have a product tailored to new moms? Stop wasting your time trying to sell it to Dads if they aren't interested in it. Spend your time making it even better and more appealing to new moms.
Size doesn't matter despite what people think
How many boy bands have you heard of with over 5 people in them? Most boy bands have three to five members in them at most. There might be a select few with one or two more but five seems to be the magic number.
Now think of one of the metrics that you use to define the success of a business – number of employees is likely one of them. When I mention to people that I run a few businesses – mainly online – one of their first responses is typically, "oh wow, how many employees do you have?" When I tell them I do it with under 3-4 people their excitement seems to fizzle out.
Growing rapidly and hiring isn't always the best strategy for a business. It depends on a lot of factors and in my opinion, over-hiring, especially early in the game, is a sure-fire way to stumbling through the early stages of business and risk ruining a potentially awesome business culture. Until you physically can't handle a task anymore (and can't automate it with a set of processes) you should not be hiring.
Building a good brand is one of the most important things you can do
Didn't boy band members used to dress in matching outfits all the time? Yes, they certainly did. Boy bands were consistent in almost everything they did. They built a brand that eventually extended well beyond their music, which enabled them to grow and reach new markets.
Being consistent across platforms and keeping the same message is extremely important when doing business. Think of the consistencies across many organizations social media profiles, online and print branding, communications, etc. Personal branding is just as important, especially if you are a local business owner or online entrepreneur. You need to make sure that people know you as the go-to-person in your industry. (Looking for a motivational video on personal branding? Check out this vid of Gary Vaynerchuk in Web 2.0 Expo NY from 2008.)
I'm sure there are many other business lessons you could take from the boy band example. Have any in mind? Feel free to share in the comments below. In the mean time I'll leave you with this:

Hi and welcome to AFC! THE best, and most informative, forum on the internet!
Here's some advice for your couponing journey…
** READ READ READ READ READ READ READ!! And then READ some more! Learn your local store's coupon policies -
. Print those policies out and keep them with you at all time! You'll be surprised at how often cashiers and even store managers are unfamiliar with all the intricacies of their own policies!
** Don't be afraid to ask questions -
** START SLOWLY! If you jump in too fast, you'll get frustrated. PLEASE don't think that if you don't build a massive stockpile overnight, that you are a rotten couponer! It takes time and effort!
** Not sure how to begin? Do a David Letterman… Make two TOP TEN LISTS! One for food and one for non-food items that you and your family use on a daily or weekly basis. If your family is a HUGE pasta eater, then noodles and sauce should be on your list. If you have 4 teenage boys, then body wash/soap is a MUST! Walk through your house as you are making your lists. Then, go to the grocery/drug stores WITHOUT BUYING ANYTHING! Take along a pad of paper (or 6) and make notes on current prices for those items on your Top Ten lists. Do this once a week for a few months. Start learning the sales cycles. Start learning the fluctuations in prices and soon you will be able to figure out what your stock-up prices should be. Start your stockpile with items your family will use regularly. Nothing worse than staring at a stockpile with a whole bunch of stuff (gotten for free or really cheap) that no one will EVER use!
** Start clipping your coupons! Sign up for a newspaper delivery – this is THE only way to guarantee that you will receive coupons in the papers you buy. Not all newsstand or drug store papers receive inserts as the inserts will always be placed in subscriber papers first. CALL the newspaper first and make sure of which coupon inserts they carry! Ask about special subscriptions – Sunday or weekend only, discounts for multiple Sunday papers, etc. Start asking your friends and family members for their coupons. You'll be surprised at how many people just toss them in the garbage – YIKES! **Need complete sets of inserts? No problem! Click
for LOTS of choices!
MOST OF ALL – HAVE FUN! If you ever have any questions you'd rather not ask in the open forums, click
to ask me directly! Glad you're here in the AFC family!

A good Screen protector for IPad 4
It's thanksgiving so may not be many people reading the forums otherwise you may have had more responses.
On my iPad we have the Power Support screen protector and it goes on without any liquid.
That said if you do liquid right it's quite easy and even with the static Power Support I still used some liquid to apply. - 11-25-2012, 12:44 AM #4
A good Screen protector for IPad 4
I had the invisible shield anti-glare and didn't like how it distorted the retina display. I looked at the HD version but I think it is too glossy and will have too much glare/reflection.
I am now comparing Moshi to Wrapsol. Does anyone have any opinions on these? They are both dry installs, BTW.

A good Screen protector for IPad 4
Definitely don't spray the iPad.
Spray the back of the protector and spray your fingers a bit. Make your fingers like "scissors" and run then down the sides of the protector like a squeegee to get the excess application fluid off. Lay the protector on the iPad starting at either the top or the bottom and work your way around with the credit card/drivers license or whatever you are using (wrapped with masking tape along the edge so it doesn't scratch or wrapped in a microfiber). Push the liquid out at the sides away from the home button and blot with a paper towel.
I've done this a ton of times on phones and my iPad in the bathroom with hot water running in the shower to get it a bit misty in there. This helps eliminate dust. If you still get some under there, use a piece of clear tape on the corner of the protector to lift it up, and slide another piece of clear tape under it (face up) to the piece of dust. Lay the protector back down on the tape to grab the dust. Pull the corner back up and take out your tape. Remove the corner piece of tape starting at the inside.
If you use the Power Support brand it can be removed and cleaned in water and reapplied if needed. Not sure about the other brands.
Good luck! - 11-27-2012, 12:03 AM #9
A good Screen protector for IPad 4
I have used the Moshi screen protectors on my iPad 2, iPhone 5 and now iPad 4. Much easier to install than Zagg and no bubbles. Can be removed and reused if needed. No water or applicator fluid needed. Don't even know its there.

Re: A good Screen protector for IPad 4
NOT a belkin. My husband bought them at Target bec they were static and available. They would not stay stuck. Every time the case magnet would close on the screen and you would reopen the cover it would peel the thing right off! We returned them. I installed a Zagg Friday night, and damn they're hard on a larger screen!

A good Screen protector for IPad 4
The Moshi looks like a frame with glass in the middle, the outer part comes in either black or white to match color of iPad and middle is clear material that seems a bit thicker than other screen protectors I have used but the clarity and response to touch seems to be as good as a bare screen.
One other option I have seen, but not tried, is this one by Seidio:
Quite expensive though. I have had good experience with Seidio products, cases, so I imagine it would be similar to the Moshi when you look at the installation video.

A good Screen protector for IPad 4
I ordered the Zagg HD Invisible Shield and got it for 50% off ($17.34) on their cyber Monday sale. I believe today is the last day for the sale. I can't wait for it to come in. I applied a Wrapsol dry screen protector on my iPhone Sunday and it was harder to put on than the zagg one and the bubbles still haven't worked their way out. I don't notice them though unless the phone is asleep, but i am glad I didn't go with that for my iPad.
Sorry. I just checked and it is not still on sale.

Commentary: Urban farming topic strikes a chord
resize text | Tweet |
Conventional agriculture also feeds the hungry, teaches urban populations and children where food comes from. For example, the Mid America Crop Life Association has an Ambassador Program where people who work in agriculture volunteer their time to go into classrooms and teach children where food comes from. The idea that only urban farmers, organic farmers or local farmers can teach about agriculture is absurd.
5. Traditional agriculture promotes and perpetuates the problems of our food system.
That issue is a matter of perspective. Thanks to advances in modern, conventional agriculture, this country has not seen a return to the Dust Bowl in a year of significant drought that is comparable to the 1930s. Yes, this country has experienced significant drought, but there have not been reports of dust storms destroying fertile croplands like in the 1930s. That is due to improved efforts of farming including conservation methods that protect the soil and create wind breaks, to name a couple.
6. Urban farming allows people to have control or engage in one's food and health system. People have a right to grow their own food independently.
Conventional farming allows farmers to control their own food. Many conventional farmers will tell you how proud they are to grow food. No one is claiming to take away anyone's right or ability to grow a garden. Like many things in this country, it is everyone's responsibility to choose the best foods for themselves.
7. Unique and alternative approaches to growing food should be celebrated and lauded. Conventional methods are old, environmentally unfriendly and totally uncool.
The idea that conventional agriculture is suddenly uncool is untrue. Just take a look at the two YouTube videos posted this summer by young farmers. The first video, "I'm Farming and I Grow It," was a parody of "I'm Sexy and I Know It." Those three brothers' video received more than 6.5 million views and made the mainstream media circuit including "Good Morning, America!" The second video, "Farm It Maybe" has received more than 694,000 views. These young farmers have captured the spirit of farming life in a cool, unique and fun way that also has crossed over in appeal to mainstream America.
8. World War II Victory Gardens produced more than 40 percent of people's food at the time. Urban farming is economical.
Similar to Russia's family farms, World War II Victory Gardens were out of necessity during a time when food was scarce due to war. Agriculture is in the business of looking forward. A return to old style methods and ideologies seems backwards and counterproductive. However, home gardens can and do provide an alternative food source during the summer and early fall months. Urban farming is a poor substitute for food during the winter months, which many pro-urban farming proponents seem to neglect mentioning.
