This is neither a cautionary tale nor a work of fiction. Rather, it is a factual account of the activities that took place a week ago last Friday, as all official records will indicate, during my latest trout adventure. Little did I know that the roles were to be reversed and that it was the fisherman was to be the catch of the day.
For one almost fateful morning my person was the subject of a joint manhunt co-ordinated by agencies of both the United States of America, land of the not so free anymore since the passage of The Patriot Act, and Canada, land of the timid politicians who do not want to ruffle the feathers of the bald eagle. And then there was little old me, middle-aged, fish-addicted, and somewhat still suffering from two months of cabin fever who needed to feel the tug of a fish the way a junkie needs a fix. I was a trout junkie. A trout terrorist…..the Una-Trouter!
The day started quite inocuously, the sun was shining, birds were chirping in the treetops, squirrels played and life was finally returning after a long winter. Then it began to turn into a hellish nightmare which had nothing to do with the fishing. You see, I was fishing border waters and had parked my suspicious black truck at the end of a dead-end country road in the middle of nowhere, not fifty feet from a snowbank and large obelisk shaped stone with U.S.A. painted in red across it that demarcated the borderline between Canada and the US. This border is the longest unprotected border in the civilized world and many parts of it, like this one, are basically patrolled by squirrels and crows.
But on this particular morning, an unusually warm and unseasonably early Spring day, I knew instinctively something was afoot as a helicopter was doing fly- bys along the border as I parked my car. Naturally, a black SUV with a lone guy donning his waders, sipping coffee from his Thermos, and rigging up his rod was all highly suspicious activity to the uber paranoid forces of freedom and warranted further investigation. I waved at him from the middle of the road in plain view as a pre-emptive gesture of my innocuousness and to impress upon him that I was not trying to conceal my presence, but this apparently wasn't sufficient to allay his fears that I would soon be terrorizing the drop-down brown trout planted originally by the New York State Fish & Wildlife Dept. As I trudged through the deep snow in the wooded valley that led towards the river, the helicopter hovered above me like a pesky insect for the next three hours, every so often dissappearing beyond the treeline for a few minutes and then returning quickly, as if to catch me in some felonious act, like priesting a brown and chucking it in my creel, or pissing in the middle of the river. It was like a cat and mouse game. It was beyond certainty that somethng important was going down although what I didn't realize at the time was that it was me that was the center of all this activity. Standing in the middle of the river, helicopter hovering above me every few minutes, scaring the piss out of every trout for miles, I began to think that maybe they had been tipped off about some smuggling activities or perhaps the transportation of illegal aliens, remembering something like that that had appeared in newspapers a few months earlier.
It would not be the first time this area had been used for smuggling. Historically, this area had once been a notoriously prominent smuggling route during the era of Prohibition in the 1920's in the U.S. and it was rumored that Joseph Kennedy, the scion of that great American political family from Massachusetts, built his family fortune from the booze smuggled along its dirt trails.
The water was still quite low, almost still at winter levels and there were no fish in the best pools, at least none that I managed to catch, perhaps none quite bold enough to feed with a giant pterodactyl hovering above their lies. After a few hours of fishing without any success and somewhat disconcerted with the airborne activities, decided to call it a day and return back to the car, hastened when the helicopter seemed to land near the area where my car was parked. This was not a good sign, nor a positive portent of what was soon to transpire. I cut across a wooded field as short-cut to the dirt road that led back towards my car. It was not longer than a few minutes after reaching the road when a black GMC Envoy pulled up quickly behind me, doors flung open, and two agents jumped out with their pistols aimed at my head. It was a scene right out of Cops! I almost shat in my waders as I raised both arms, steelhead rod in one and camera case in the other, towards the sky. Holy Shit! I thought to myself – what did I do now? I hadn't even managed to catch a goddammed trout!
It sounds cliché but for a nanosecond my life flashed before me, like single frames of old super 8 movies that had been spliced together in a collage of my earthly existence, and one thing stood out as I stared at my fate down the barrel of cold steel as a victim of mistaken identity that eventually becomes part of the fabric of fishing lore and the stuff of urban legend. Hear the story of the poor bastard got shot fishing for trout on the Chateuguay? One thing stood out above everything, which was that the story could not yet be over as the end had not yet been written and there was more to accomplish. I was not ready to die on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and like all creatures cornered, immediately went on the defensive.
Whoaaaa!!!WTF is going on? I stammered, careful only to move my lips.
Is that your car parked at the end of the road?
Yessir, but what's the problem? I've been parking there for thirty years.
I'll ask the questions here. Get in the car!
They holstered their guns and my sphincter immediately loosened forty newtons of pressure. One of the officers opened the door for me after I had broken the steelhead rod into halves, trying to avoid more tragedy by snapping them in the door or something equally stupid. The driver – a young aboriginal, a definite asset for police forces in this area of Mohawk reserves that lie across both borders of the St-Lawrence river – radioed ahead and confirmed that they had got their man and would be arriving momentarily. I sat silently in the back, stunned that I was their man, yet secure and certain in my innocence and that I had not committed any infraction other than fishing poorly, and grateful that what brains I had weren't lying splattered all over the gravel road behind me.
To my complete and utter amazement, when we arrived in view of my car, there were several other vehicles swarmed around it, like a pack of ravenous wolves surrounding their helpless prey, ready for the kill. The helicopter had landed in the farmers field next to the road, its rotors idle and shining in the sunlight and standing nearby were a total of twelve agents (they work in pairs in case somebody's shoe becomes untied) with their hands on their waists, handguns menacingly visible in their holsters at their side, and none smiling like they were waiting to audition for a toothpaste comercial.
Look what I caught said the native enforcer, somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
This was my welcoming commitee: Canada Customs, R.C.M.P., Homeland Security, I.N.S, A.T.F and F.B.I. – and not one of them thought to bring some Tim Horton's cofee or donuts! The whole gang had showed up just for me, who hadn't even managed to catch a decent trout that could be offered up as proof of my innocence. After twenty minutes of interrogation and the establishment of a reasonably credible alibi for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the atmospheric pressure in my underwear let up, the boys cooled down and laughed amongst each other at their error, realizing perhaps that they had acted somewhat prematurely and how they would ultimately have to write off the expensive manhunt in their report as an exercise. That was basically what my plan was as well and a few minutes later we were all laughing about it and drinking hot coffeee from the Thermos that my wife had brewed me earlier in the day. When I inquired about the sudden presence of activity on the agent replied 9/11 which I reminded him was over a decade ago. There were not too many Al-Quaida fishing this section of the river, at least none that I had come across. I had fished this section of the river for several years since then, both early in the season and in mid-Winter when it was at its best and most desolate of other anglers, and had never had any incident nor seen any human being at all, including other fishermen. At one point one of the agents conceded that the river was also used to smuggle drugs into Canada and it was ususally people disguised as fisherman that would pick up the drugs on this side of the border. It seemed their modus operandi was to float valuable bricks of cocaine downstream with a gps chip attached so that it could be located by the recipient somewhere downstream. Sometimes they never made it across the border, perhaps blocked by a deadfall in the middle of the river, or sucked into a whirling back-eddy, or maybe get lodged under a rock at the base of a rapid on its nefarious journey towards the destruction of some Canadian user's septum. This was usually done early in the season when the river was in spate and smugglers dumped it in the water somewhere below Sam Cooke bridge in New York State a few miles upstream and hoped the package made it across the border, otherwise they needed to retrieve and attempt once again. It was not an entirely sophisticated system and we all had a good laugh about it. About twenty minutes later, when the agents finally cleared away and the helicopter dissappeared over the treeline and left me once again alone in the woods, I began laughing aloud at the absurdity of the singular thought that immediately popped into mind. It had suddenly occurred to me that perhaps the fish weren't active because one of those packages had ripped open somewhere upstream depositing its contents into the clear waters and that the fish were too coked out and were way beyond the pedestrian lure of worms!

Do you often feel like you don't fit in your world? Do you sometimes see or hear things that other people don't? Do you often feel like you have trouble paying attention and have lost interest in things that you used to enjoy?. Do you sometimes have trouble speaking and getting organized? Do you have memory problems? If you have the first two of these symptoms along with some of the others, you may be suffering from schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a thought disorder where you hallucinate, have emotions that don't match the events of the moment, or have no emotions. Sometimes you may have delusions which are misperceptions of your environment, for example, you might think people want to hurt you but there is no evidence of it. These misperceptions can seem so real to you that you don't know you have a problem. However, if you have these symptoms you could benefit by getting some help. This article is to show you what you can do to help yourself and what will not help you.
Do let your family and friends help you
People are not born with schizophrenic symptoms. They can appear as early as age 16 or as late as 40 with the typical age around 19. If you feel that you are losing your mind or if your family and friends are showing concern that you have these problems that were listed in the introduction, be open to getting help.
Do find a qualified psychiatrist to prescribe medication
Most forms of schizophrenia respond well to medications. Find a qualified psychiatrist to prescribe medications by calling your insurance or google. If you do not have insurance many doctors will be willing to work a payment plan.
Do find a qualified therapist who has helped people with schizophrenia in the past
People with schizophrenia respond well to cognitive behavioral therapy. This is a therapy that includes examining your thoughts, choosing more appropriate and helpful thoughts and beliefs, and changing your behaviors to ones that will keep you safe and functioning well. Look online and find one in your area who treats schizophrenia. You can also call your insurance.
Do enlist your family and all supportive people in your treatment
This is similar to #1. Your family and/or people you live with can be helpful. They can remind you to take your medications, they can guide you if you have a delusion or hallucination by gently helping you question it. You may wish to have one or more supportive people participate in a therapy session with you so the therapist can train them how to help you.
Do commit to lifetime of treatment
With schizophrenia you may always need to be on medication and you may need therapy or case management throughout your life. Sometimes you might be tempted to discontinue therapy or medication if you are faring well. Many people with schizophrenia lead happy and productive lives when they stay on their medication and get the help that they need.
Do not think you are a defective person
Schizophrenia is an illness just like depression, anxiety, bipolar, the flu, etc. and it does not have to define who you are. You can look at what you are good at and what you are accomplishing in your life and see yourself as that and you happen to have an illness called schizophrenia.
Do not give up on your dreams and goals
When someone becomes aware that they have schizophrenia, they often think that they will never work, have a family, and do the things that others do. After receiving therapy for schizophrenia, often people can move from hospitalization to employment, marriage, and parenthood. It does not have to stop you from living a full and rewarding life.
Do not isolate yourself from your family and friends
People with schizophrenia have a behavior similar to people with depression and anxiety. They isolate themselves from the world, and from the people who could help them. Your family and friends can help you once they understand what you are going through.
Do not worry about getting schizophrenia if you don't have it
Earlier in this article it mentions the ages of the onset of schizophrenia. If you are 19 years old or under 40 it is not necessary to worry about getting it. Often, people will get anxious that they have schizophrenia because they fall within the onset ages. There is no way to predict who will get it, so why worry?
Do not attribute it all to the medication when you are faring well
Although you need medication and therapy, give yourself credit for being able to live a normal and successful life. It comes back to the idea that you are not schizophrenia, you are a person who has schizophrenia and you are also many other things.
There are many treatment options available for people with schizophrenia. You need to find a good psychiatrist and therapist and get support from the people in your life. Schizophrenia is a treatable condition that does not have to stop you from living your life to the fullest.

This was a fun project that I did for a gift. I bought the blade from an online supplier and fit the handles to it with epoxy and brass rod. The biggest challenge was getting the holes drilled precisely through the handles. Everything else was done with hand files, which took some time but was satisfying when it began to take shape. A simple project that I enjoyed a lot. The recipient really liked it too. Thanks for looking!

A young child has died from meningococcal disease in Western Australia, the Health Department reports.
Close contacts have been given information, and where appropriate, antibiotics and a vaccine to minimise the chance of the organism being passed on to others.
Meningococcal disease is an uncommon, life-threatening illness caused by a bacterial infection of the blood and/or membranes lining the spinal cord and brain, and occasionally other areas such as large joints.
The incidence of meningococcal disease has decreased in WA over the past decade, with fewer than 20 cases reported each year, down from a peak of 86 cases in 2000.
There were 17 incidents reported in 2015 and this is the 12th case this year, with winter and spring being the most common times of year for the disease.
The Health Department says meningococcal bacteria are carried harmlessly in the back of the nose and throat by about 10 to 20 per cent of the population at any given time, and it is very rare for the bacteria to invade the bloodstream and cause serious infection.
Symptoms may include fever, chills, headache, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, severe muscle and joint pain, neck stiffness and confusion.
In young children unable to complain of symptoms, signs may include blotchy complexion, lethargy and a rash.
A vaccine to protect against the serogroup C type of meningococcal disease is provided free to one-year-old children.
A vaccine against serogroup B, the most common type in WA, has recently become available on prescription and combination vaccines are also available to protect against other types of the organism.

Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press
Spirits, incarnations of the departed, who after leaving their earthly bodies for the celestial plane come on down every now and then to help out are given star billing in Mary Anna Evans new mystery Rituals. The eighth in a series featuring archeologist Faye Longchamp, it's a well written, gentle mystery which would be ideal for your maiden aunt or any reader who wants a story with an interesting plot line that doesn't feature gratuitous sex or violence.
I haven't read the other books in the series but this didn't matter as the writer, when necessary, gave a brief back story about the relationships and previous actions of the main characters.
Leaving her American Indian husband to care for their two-year-old son, Faye goes to work with her adopted daughter Amande in a private museum in Rosebower, New York. The museum is a maze of boxes which contain uncatalogued artifacts, letters and extraneous items. Faye, with Armande's help, has been hired to turn the disorganized mess into a catalogued orderly exhibition space for the people of and visitors to, Rosebower.
Rosebower would have been better named Spooksville as the small rural town is filled with psychics who for a fee will conjure up the dead and engage them in conversation – talking to the dead in Rosebower is a legitimate lucrative profession.
Not entirely sure she believes in contact with the deceased, Faye and Armande are invited to dinner by elderly sisters, Tilda and Myrna Armistead. Myrna, Rosebower's most respected psychic asks Faye and Armande if they would like to sit in on a séance. Intrigued, Faye and Armande take their place at the Ouija board. Hands joined with others around the table, the lights are extinguished and in total darkness Myrna, a crystal ball in the centre of the table, begins. Coloured lights illuminate the crystal ball and figures dance in and out of the rainbow hued globe. Myrna, her voice unreal, summons the spirits and Faye becomes uneasy; is there a presence in the room? Worried that Armande will be upset by what appears to be a visit from a resident of the afterlife, Faye is relieved when Myrna brings the séance to an abrupt halt.
Tired, Faye drives Armande to their motel. Settled in for the evening, Faye is alarmed to receive a visit from Myrna. Unable to find Tilda, who lives in the house opposite her own, Myrna has fled from her burning house to ask for help from Faye. Badly affected by smoke inhalation Myrna collapses, and after muttering a few incoherent phrases dies in Faye's arms.
Myrna's house, razed to the ground, was the fire an accident? Faye can't believe anyone would want to harm such a sweet old lady but wait a minute, Rosebower is not the quaint olde world community it appears to be – there is an issue which has caused conflict among the town's residents. A developer wants to cash in on Rosebower's reputation as the go to place if you want a word with a dearly departed or would like to know if fame and fortune will ever knock on your door. Approval from the town council is needed before the developer's plan to build a psychic convention centre with accommodation and a golf course can proceed.
Myrna, a council member, opposed the development fearing it would destroy community values and as she also owned land right next to the development site maybe her house was torched to force her to sell her land and agree to the development. Faye figures it wouldn't be the first time someone who opposes a development is literally bulldozed – murder makes a good bulldozer.
On reflection, Faye concludes, the developer isn't the only one on her suspect list. There's Dara, Myrna's estranged daughter, who with her weird husband, Willow, stages a nightly smoke and mirrors show and a mysterious writer who is putting together a book that will expose Rosebower psychics as liars and charlatans. Another candidate for Faye's list is the creepy nephew of a local herbalist, he's taken a shine to Armande and wherever she goes, he goes too.
About the best you could say for any of Rosebower's residents is that they are unstable, nuts would be closer – if you spend most of your time talking to dead people reality is bound to be a problem.
Mary Anna Evans has created whimsical, crazy characters in Rituals who wander in and out of an intriguing plot – good story, good read.

I have been putting off posting this blog for a few weeks now because I've been telling myself they don't deserve it. But who am I fooling with my fanatical hate, winning justifies praise. So, here is my piece in honor of the victors of Super Bowl 51, the New England Patriots.
Now, let me first inform you that I am a Giants and Jets fan. Secondly, I support any team playing against the Patriots. Any team. Thus, I am writing this tribute despite my abiding strong dislike (hatred) for the Patriots. To be honest, I dislike all Boston teams. My general dislike was entrenched when the Boston Red Socks game back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat my Yankees in the 2004 ACLS Championship. And was I vexed! We have elephant memories around 161st and Jerome Ave (Yankee Stadium) and we hold grudges too. You can imagine then, how elated I was when my NY Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42. Actually, we beat them twice. You may remember Super Bowl 46.
But it has not always been a sour relationship between Yankees and New Englanders. In 1773, New Yorkers supported the Boston tea party protest against the tyrannical British occupiers. In those days we were all on the same team, and that team was called- Yankees. Well, actually the instigators called themselves the "Sons of Liberty". It was the British, in their attempt to be derisive who called us Yankees, and for that we got independence and 27 World Series Championships.
But in all seriousness, after I have done mourning and even gloating, my reflection on the success of the Patriots as moved me from hatred to not only respect, but admiration. Their win reminded me of the ethics and values we need to succeed.
So What does it take to win?
What I admire most about sport stars is their relentless drive to win. They train hard. They play even harder. They seem to have an insatiable desire to be the best, to excel, to win. Essentially, winning becomes them. And we love winners. It's the reason we compare those who accomplish great feats to Michael Jordan. It's the reason we get up early to watch Messi score goals or Serena slide on the clay court of the Stade Roland Garros. Because no other profession shows humanity what you can achieve with hard work and determination quite as clearly as sports does. It 's the reason we are still in awe at how Tom Brady and his compatriots came back from a great deficit and won. Sports reveals, like no other, what it takes to win.
I know many people will mention the serious accusations and findings of cheating against the Patriots as a mark against their success. Of course there are no excuses for cheaters. We must not lift any banner to celebrate their apparent success, or throw any parade to show off their unjust enrichment. Any claim to success should have the unreserved backing of fair play. For too long we have decorated thugs to look like Robin Hood, when in fact they are more likely to look like Bernie Madoff. To the extent, therefore, that the Patriots are guilty of cheating, they aught to be punished and I believe they were. However, to say that the Patriot's success is based on cheating ignores the toil and struggle a team must endure to be called champions. Lets not be silly, you don't win 5 Super Bowls because you recorded a few practices; you certainly don't come back from a 21-point deficit because you used deflated footballs. No, winning takes more than the apparatus you use to accomplish some task and it takes more than manipulating the regulations that govern your space. Wining takes more than the voices that cheer you on or the shouts that disapprove. To say that the Patriot's won because they are cheaters impugns the values that made them winners in the first place: Tenacity, resilience, hard work, determination, preparation, focus, motivation, confidence and self reflection. Winning takes everything. It takes all of you. Tom Brady and the Patriots won because they did whatever it took to win.
Whatever it takes
Even the mere rumors of the savviness of that evil empire (fanatical hate) is an indication that they have the will to do whatever it takes to win. Fans don't usually see all the grind athletes put in to place themselves in a position to win. During the off season athletes are still working on their craft. They live in gyms and on playgrounds. They eat the boring, healthy foods we shun, and are constantly sore from the rigors of daily training. Their bodies take a hammering to carve out the picturesque physique we see on television. Any decline in their performance can cost them millions of dollars in salaries and endorsements. Their reputation is at stake. And there are no cubicles to hide behind after a harsh word from the boss. When you play for leagues that commands millions of viewers, the whole world sees when you flop. Sports can certainly teach us a thing or two about life: the struggle of preparation, the toil of determination, the spirit of resilience are the key ingredients of a winner's mentality.
I love hearing stories about winners, and not only the winners we celebrate when we buy jerseys and tea cups. But also the unheralded, underestimated, misunderstood dreamer, who despite the odds, comes back time after time and wins. Just regular people who continue to do whatever it takes to win. They sent more emails. They stayed up later than everyone else. They networked. They are the ones sending out resumes and writing proposals and requesting an increased in pay, or asking for a promotion. They understood that failure is short term; that a denial is only a signal for another way out. Because for them, whatever it takes means being counted out yet still knocking down doors. Whether putting up with a nasty boss or a rude professor, winners do whatever it takes to turn unpleasant situations into successful stories. So When no one is clocking your hours, or you volunteer for that time consuming project, or you throw a helping hand into your colleague's work for the benefit of the team, you are doing whatever it takes to win. And there are more challenges yet to come, but you have been here before; you know what it takes. For when the whistle blows, the team depending on you, and it seems like the whole world is watching, you will deliver one of the most spectacular performances the world has ever seen; Bradyesque. Many people have talents, but you only win when you are willing to do whatever it takes. Like one of my brothers, who was answering phones for 3 years as a customer service representative, is now making presentations before the CEO of the same company and leading multi-million dollar projects. What a comeback. What a performance. Whatever it takes bro. Whatever it takes.

Morning meeting builds community and makes children feel safe and important in their classroom.
So what happens when a child breaks a rule?
Logical Consequences are not punishments. Everyone makes mistakes. Children Will push the limits- this is normal. They are trying to figure the rules out- as well as to see if we'll follow through. My goal is to help our children learn selfcontrol.
"I use time out when a child is just beginning to lose it. This is before the child has lost face in the group. It's at this point that time out is more effective. Like those grooves on the side of the highway, it's a gentle nudge to get us back on track before we barrel off the road."

Rules in School
To help children become better thinkers and problem solvers.
To help children gain self control.
To show children there are consequences for every action- positive vs. negative.
To improve self esteem.
To change the world one child at a time.

Highlands, NC – The most important job any leader has is to foster a culture of creativity and innovation within the organization. Most corporate team leaders and entrepreneurs think that championing idea generation and brainstorming is all there is to developing an environment conducive to innovation.
That is only the beginning.
Susie deVille is the founder and CEO of the Innovation and Creativity Institute, a consulting practice dedicated to teaching corporate executives and entrepreneurs how to promote cultures of innovation that spark creativity and consistently create value.
"Most business owners are trying to reverse engineer innovation and creativity while struggling with how to lead their teams as well as their own lives," says Susie. "You can't begin to understand innovation and creativity until you bring in the idea of leadership of self and leadership of others."
As an expert in entrepreneurship and anthropology, Susie has nine years of consulting experience helping clients develop innovative products, services and business models. In her seminars and workshops, people learn to lead in a way that generates creativity from everyone on their teams – including themselves.
The author of the forthcoming book Innovation is Free, Susie says the key to meaningful innovation is to take a playful approach that looks at problems with fresh eyes
"If you show me a playful organization, where failure considered an absolutely necessary part of the process, I'll show you a creative and innovative organization," says Susie. "Creativity is within the grasp of every person, and it's not so difficult for people to reconnect to it once they are shown how to do so."

Sometimes our ideas go according to plan. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes, when they don't, better ideas emerge.
Last year, I somehow turned from 25 years of age to 40. I woke up and became a 40 year old man. I remember waking up that morning and realizing that this decade will be my best chance at making a difference in the community. This was to become my "important decade". I was in the middle of the STATION business plan and the goal was to create something that complemented the eMbers VENUE; something that looked really good for guests coming into the downtown district, something that the community could come to and look at with pride, and something that kept food on the table for my kids.
Downtown Rensselaer is very special to me. Not because of what it is, but what it can be. I like to visit special places and feel inspired. Milwaukee, Chicago, Tulsa, Valparaiso, Amsterdam, L.A.; these are all places that inspire me in different ways. Big or small, any community can have something that feels special. The size of a community doesn't matter, small communities like Rensselaer can inspire as well. In many regards, much easier. The goal with the STATION was simple, create a space that is more special than anywhere I've ever been in the world. I know it sounds like a statement from a ten year old child but that's how I work. I was pretty excited to start this "important decade" of my life.
One of the first things I did for my "important decade" was email the two mayoral candidates and explain how downtown Rensselaer is special to me. I asked a series of questions about their plans and visions for downtown, if elected. One said he'd get back to me and the other said his attorney advised him not to answer the questions; not a great start of communication confidence in this "important decade".
Saint Joseph's College announced that they will cease to exist at the end of the school year. This becomes a huge hurt in the community losing not only 17% of a prospective population of clientele, but also losing a big chunk of our culture and identity. This is a major setback in this "important decade" in terms of city stability.
Add the difficulties and budget of indoor/outdoor construction, trying to roof the STATION 3 different times, breaking 5 ribs and bruising half of my organs, and nonsense in the brewery side of things (I'll get to that in a bit); This important decade is off to a less than desirable start.
We are not, however, the type of people that dwell on the negatives or difficulties. For every problem, there are several solutions. Part of the fun in business is how solutions are created from these problems.
What is important in the end is creating something to the best of our abilities. In that, I am extremely excited for what we've created for you. There is still much to do but everything is coming together and the finished product is still slated to be complete by early summer.
Our approach in the finished products is similar to our style of creating the environment; we want to incorporate creativity and uniqueness in our product. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel and quite frankly, deep fryers and burgers bore us.
FOOD: We are absolutely in love with the brick oven. Everyone associates brick ovens with pizzas and we will, of course, have that element. More importantly though will be the menu items that will use the oven outside the pizza box. The brick oven wasn't part of the original business plan but with fortunate circumstances, brainstorming, and a persistent mason, we created a fun and unique way to prepare food. Food will start more simple until we gain more confidence and a good workflow on this side of the business.
COCKTAILS: Wow. When we opened eMbers four years ago, so much attention had to be placed on finishing construction that we didn't really learn as much as we needed to manage a bar. Now, it is definitely one of our strengths due to all the education and experimenting we proceeded to work hard for. Craft is the key word with this regard and although we will have the familiar brands that are comfortable to the majority, we want to focus on local and unusual spirits that will cater to our friends that are more like us. We love to mix with quality ingredients and and the cocktails at the STATION will show that.
BEER: Making beer in-house was the driving point in starting this expansion. We led with the microbrewery component of the business. We thought we had the right plan/people in place, turns out, we didn't. I can't exactly say what happened in this regard because I don't entirely know myself. What I do know is too much time and energy was spent in that direction so we are looking forward to new ideas beginning now. We will not open with the microbrewery component in place. Instead, we are going to recreate how we are going to incorporate this dynamic to the STATION and do it in a more careful, articulate fashion that will benefit all of us in the long run. I'm sure this is as disappointing for you as it is for us but I promise, the new plan for this will be stronger, better, and more exciting. We are looking at this as a marathon, not a sprint.
In the meantime, we will offer beers at the STATION that will represent what we represent. Unique and local brews with rotating brewery will be showcased as we progress to ultimately making our own. We will have a beer or two that can be found on a NASCAR hood as well for the less adventurous. We'll get them to come around as well :)
ENVIRONMENT: This is the part that excites me the most. I really believe that this is our best work yet. If everyone in Rensselaer had a Ryan Preston on their team, we would be a tourist destination with building design leading the way. Every part of this space has creative interest and if you look for it, with each visit, you will discover something new and cool about the space. The outdoor space will be exciting and unique to our guests. We are also leaving it slightly open ended to evolve a bit more as we grow.
Truth be told, this entire project has been a roller coaster ride. We've given it our all and I'm certain you'll love the vision we have for this space. Although the creation took a lot out of us, we will cross the finish line of completion with excitement in sharing our passion of creating the STATION for you. With your support, it will be an ever evolving component to downtown Rensselaer and a space you can share with your family and friends and we support the growth of our community.

Hit to Read More
Use every inch of an attic space by building a bath into the eaves. If you have an awkwardly shaped ceiling – like this loft bathroom – turn it into a decorative feature. Paint the ceiling white to contrast with the statement wallpaper behind. It's a great way to add character in a confined space.
Interior design is a tricky thing for most people. You have to know which colors to use, what materials, in which style etc. That's a little bit tricky, if you ask me. Even if you think you can do it, it's very probable that you won't do it right.

What's the Difference? Pt. 2 June 19, 2008Posted by Amanda in Business Tails, Mouse Clicks.
Tags: Differentiation, Integrated Marketing Communications, Small Business, Sporting Goods, Strategy
add a comment
On Monday I wrote about differentiation strategies to help your small business stand out from the crowd.
The strategies I mentioned focus on the big picture. But what if there is more than one business in your area. For example, two sporting goods stores that are both focused on having the best service possible. How do you make your customer service be a homerun? Well, you need to look at your business at every step of the customer relationship.
Peter Griffin over at Flyingsolo wrote a great article about how to break down your busines process in what he called the "Seven Step Customer Care System". His focus is on high service businesses such as Finance and Banking, but we can break it down for our Sporting Goods store.
1. How is the service delivered?
Do your customer service representatives smile when they are talking with the customer? Is it easy to find a customer rep? If they have to go into the storeroom to look for a product, do they return quickly? This is the most visible part of customer service and an absolute must if you want to compete in service. Your customers should enjoy visiting the store.
2. Does your service enhance the experience?
Are your employees knowledable about the products? Can they inform the customer about the products features and usage? Now, this won't be needed for every baseball, but if a customer is buying an automatic baseball pitcher, they might have a few questions about it that can't be answered by the box. Encourage your employees to use your products at home, or even have field days where you show them how to use more complicated products.
3. How do you communicate throughout the buying process?
Even if you have great floor representatives, make sure your Point of Sale staff is up to speed as well. They should be knowledgeable about the current promotions and able to answer any questions the customer may have (or know who to ask to quickly get the answer). They should be able to explain to the customer how discounts are applied and what their final total will be.
4. How do you complete and mark a transaction as completed?
What types of payment does your store accept? Is it what the customer wants to use to pay for his/her large purchase? Are they given all warranty information and is it explained? Does a customer rep help them load the product into their vehicle if it is large (and please, don't make them stand there for an hour waiting for someone to come help)?
5. How do you thank the customer for their business?
Do you reward customers for shopping with your Sporting Goods store? Coupons for steady customers? Or maybe just a thank you and followup letter if they have made a large purchase.
6. How do you treat the customer after their product or service is delivered?
If a customer has a problem, can they bring the product back with minimal hassle? If they have a question, can they call and ask? What are you doing to make sure they are happy with their purchase.
7. How do you stay in touch with the customer?
The whole point of good customer service is to keep the customer returning to shop with you. How are you encouraging them to come back? Do you call and follow up to see if their automatic baseball launcher is working great? Do you ask for feedback from them on their experience?

What makes a small business grow into a big business? Is it how much money you spend on advertising? Or maybe it's how hard you work at growing it… What really makes a small business take off and become "big business" is simple. Differentiation. Your business has to be unique (and that means unique in a good way). You have to be doing something that others aren't, filling a need that others do not.
Jack Trout wrote about this recently at Forbes.com (read the article here). He talked about why so many CMO's "move on" after only a short period on the job. They are not successful because they fail to focus on differentiation The same can be applied to small business that is trying to grow. If you do not seperate yourself in the mind of the consumer, you are disposable.
Now, how CAN you differentiate yourself?
You could be the lowest priced. Price differentiation is a common strategy and it's how Walmart and Amazon have grown to be so large. BUT: Can you compete with the Walmart of your industry? Companies like Walmart use Economies of Scale to push prices low; they can get lower prices on what they buy because they are already so large. That allows them to pass that savings on to the consumer and still make a healthy profit. Also, it is very easy to duplicate a price differentiation strategy.
You could have the best service. Zappos is known for its service. They have seperated themselves from other online shoe retailers in the mind of their consumers. If you are unhappy with your Zappos shoes, they don't fit, just return them! You can call and chat with their friendly customer service representatives for an hour if you wish. BUT: Providing great service often means hiring great people. Maintaining a top workforce is an expensive proposition, but your customers will reward you with loyalty. Again, this is a strategy that is reproduceable by others.
You could make a product no one else does. I'd like to call this the 'Next Big Thing' strategy. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to stand out in the mind of the consumer, but it can also be the most difficult. This differentiation strategy relies on your product being significantly different from anything else on the market. Whether that means your product is more durable, easier to use, has better features or serves a need that no one else does yet. This is a highly sucessful technique BUT: You have to come up with the idea and the customer has to believe that your product is different.
You could serve a need that no one else does. This is known as Niche marketing, as I mentioned in my previous post about M&D Innovations. This is also called Focus Differentiation. It has so many names because it is such a great strategy. BUT: You have to listen to your customers.
What's the best strategy for you? Well, that depends on your business but it is normally a combination of these four strategies.

Jerry Perenchio
Longtime entertainment executive, film producer and philanthropist Andrew Jerrold Perenchio died Tuesday, May 23, at his home in Bel-Air after being diagnosed with lung cancer months before. He was 86.
Perenchio, who graduated from UCLA in 1954 with a bachelor of science degree in business economics, built a long and successful career on his extraordinary ability to predict and capitalize on what would galvanize the public's attention — whether it was promoting the 1971 boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier or orchestrating the 1973 Battle of the Sexes tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King. Among his many legendary business ventures was the transformation of a financially anemic Univision Communications into the Spanish- language media juggernaut.
Aside from his business interests, Perenchio was a strong advocate for UCLA and its mission. For 50 years, his service to and support for the university spanned the north and south parts of the campus, from the arts to medicine.
"What we will always admire most about Jerry was his singular focus on the impact he could make, rather than on the plaudits or praise he could receive for it," said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block. "He once said that he was content staying in the background. But we believe his contributions to UCLA are very much at the forefront, and his legacy will continue to enrich lives for generations to come."
Born into a family of vintners in Fresno and educated in a Los Angeles prep school, Perenchio had already developed a keen sense for business as a UCLA student. While on campus, he started Party Management, which booked party bands and catered celebrations, according to "UCLA: The First Century." In the fall of 1951, he famously welcomed an elegantly gowned Marilyn Monroe to UCLA's junior prom.
Perhaps his most transformative efforts revolved around his leadership on behalf of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. When he was still chief executive of Univision, Perenchio led a group of donors who collectively contributed $150 million to name UCLA's hospital, then called the Westwood Replacement Hospital, after President Ronald Reagan, according to the UCLA history book. The Reagans were his Bel-Air neighbors.
"Thanks to his vision and commitment, UCLA now operates one of the finest medical facilities in the world, and the premier facility on the West Coast," said Dr. John Mazziotta, vice chancellor for UCLA Health Sciences and CEO of UCLA Health. "The building stands in proud tribute to Jerry's contributions and efforts to benefit UCLA and the people of Southern California."

Yesterday I braved the rain and went to the North West Bloggers Meetup in Preston. Luckily I live ten minutes away from the city center, so I didn't have far to travel!
Here's what I wore:
Everything: Topshop!
Here's what I wore:
Everything: Topshop!
We all met in the basement of Moka for a drink and a bite to eat before hitting the shops!
The shops we visited were Retro Rehab and Coco Boo, both of which I'm ashamed to say I've never visited before.
I was naughty and bought a skirt from Retro Rehab! I feel bad for breaking my clothes ban, but it was a lovely vintage print and I couldn't resist!
After a cheeky trip to Primark and River Island, during the most torrential downpour of the day we ended up in Strictly Cupcakes, another first for me! I will deffo be dragging all my friends there, the cakes were lush!
Kinder Bueno Cupcake and homemade lemonade
All in all, it was a wonderful day! It's so nice to meet other local bloggers and make some new friends. A massive thanks to Claire for organising everything!

That URL will soon lose its usefulness for answering your questions. Google is now going to abandon its Google Answers service at the end of this week, which it launched 4 years ago.
Google is not entirely clear on why they are quitting it, other than "[it] was a great experiment which provided us with a lot of material for developing future products to serve our users."
People would ask a question, and a real person from the Google team would actually answer, unlike the search engine which uses an algorithm to provide results. There were more than 800 people that answered questions since they launched this service.
Although they will stop accepting new questions, it appears that the old questions and answers will be left for other users to search and read through.
Yahoo currently has a similar service which is even more popular than Google Answers, and currently has no plans of shutting down.
Personally, I've never used either service, although I've heard of at least one of them. It seems odd the way Google is giving up in an area where it could have possibly dominated, and taken market share away from Yahoo.
Of course, Google is rapidly expanding, and if they do not keep control of their business, it would spiral out of control. There is a limit to which a company can go. And the amount of traffic Google Answers generated as compared to the rest of Google was very insignificant, and dropping this will allow Google to focus on more important services.
Is Google finally forced to surrender to Yahoo? Finally, something that Google cannot dominate.
At least it keeps them humble.

Pension Preservation & Savings Expansion<br> Act of 2003
Representatives Rob Portman and Ben Cardin
Congress enacted the Portman/Cardin Comprehensive Retirement Security and Pension Reform Act as part of the 2001 tax relief act. This landmark pension legislation, introduced as H.R. 10 in the 107th Congress, increased 401(k) and IRA savings limits, instituted catch-up contributions for older workers, enhanced pension portability through reduced vesting and removal of rollover barriers, encouraged small business pension coverage and simplified pension regulation. The new Portman/Cardin Pension Preservation and Savings Expansion Act builds on these important reforms by making the next generation of improvements to our nation's savings and pension systems. With adoption of these new proposals, Congress will provide individuals and families with a number of important new savings tools, will further strengthen and expand the employer-sponsored retirement system, will offer important new protections to retirement plan participants and will assist retirees in managing and preserving retirement assets and income. The Pension Preservation and Savings Expansion Act contains important reforms in the following areas:
Savings Assistance
Making Today's Retirement Savings Opportunities Permanent.
The legislation will make all of the retirement savings and pension reforms contained in the 2001 tax relief act (which are currently scheduled to sunset at the end of 2010) permanent. As part of this effort, the bill will make permanent the 2001 act's tax credit for low and moderate-income savers while at the same time expanding the amount of the credit and making more middle-income Americans eligible to receive it.
Accelerating Savings Limits and Increasing Retirement Plan Participation.
The legislation will help Americans step up their retirement savings by accelerating the increases in 401(k) and IRA savings limits contained in the 2001 tax relief act and allowing workers to roll $500 of unused assets in flexible spending accounts into their retirement plans.
Expanding IRAs.
In addition to accelerating the IRA limit to an immediate $5,000, the legislation will speed scheduled increases in eligibility for traditional deductible IRAs and will eliminate the marriage penalties in today's IRA and Roth IRA rules. It will also allow disabled individuals to have their own IRAs and will allow defrauded IRA investors to put recovered funds back into their IRAs without tax penalty.
Enhancing Portability, Fairness and Women's Retirement Security.
The legislation will build on the significant portability improvements contained in the 2001 tax act by allowing rollovers directly to a spouse's retirement plan, facilitating rollovers by non-spouse beneficiaries, aiding public-sector workers in purchasing service credits to build more reasonable pension benefits, ensuring employees' ability to roll over after-tax contributions and permitting direct rollovers from workplace retirement plans to Roth IRAs. The bill will also reduce the required vesting schedule for non-matching contributions made by employers into defined contribution plans (such as 401(k)s) so that these dollars more quickly become the property of the employee. In addition, the legislation will ensure that modest amounts of retirement savings do not disqualify the aged, blind and disabled from eligibility for supplemental security income (SSI). The bill will also enhance women's retirement security by clarifying the ability at divorce to seek a share of a spouse's pension benefits earned during the period of the marriage.
Pension Expansion
Expanding Small Business Pension Coverage.
The legislation will make a number of improvements to the existing SIMPLE and SEP retirement plans (including creation of a new reversematch SEP) to make these simplified pension plan designs even more attractive to small business. The bill will also remove a payroll tax penalty that the self-employed face when making retirement plan contributions and will streamline a number of rules that have impeded small business pension creation.
Revitalizing Defined Benefit Plans.
The legislation will institute a new interest rate benchmark for pension calculations to replace the current 30-year Treasury bond rate, which has fallen dramatically as a result of the discontinuation of the 30-year bond. This new benchmark, based on long-term conservative corporate bond rates, will ensure that funding, premium and lump sum calculations are based on a rational and realistic interest rate. The bill will provide very substantial transition assistance to older workers so that expectations regarding lump sum amounts are not undercut. The legislation will also provide targeted funding relief for multi-employer pension plans managed jointly by union and employer trustees. In addition, the legislation will reform a variety of rules applicable to defined benefit plans that have complicated plan administration and discouraged employers from offering the guaranteed benefits these plans provide.
Regulatory Simplification.
The bill will continue the regulatory simplification efforts begun in past Portman/Cardin pension bills by reforming a variety of administrative rules that have unnecessarily increased the cost and complexity of retirement plan sponsorship and administration.
Preservation of Retirement Income
Preserving Retirement Assets.
The legislation contains a cluster of reforms designed to help Americans preserve their savings so that they last throughout retirement. The bill will reform the minimum required distribution rules that force individuals to begin taking their money at age 70½ by raising the starting age to 75 (which will reflect increases in life expectancy since the rule was enacted in 1962). The bill will also provide incentives for individuals to take their retirement benefits in an annuitized form guaranteed to last a lifetime, will fight leakage from the retirement system by facilitating default rollover options for departing employees, and will significantly expand the existing program to match employees with their lost retirement plan benefits.
Financing Retiree Health Expenses.
The legislation will contain two important new tax incentives to help employers and employees finance the ever-increasing costs of retiree health coverage. Employers with defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s will be given a new mechanism to fund a portion of retiree medical expenses on a pre-tax basis and employees will for the first time be allowed to use pre-tax retirement plan payments to pay for retiree health costs.
Reforming Company Stock and Executive Compensation Practices.
The legislation will contain the Portman/Cardin Employee Retirement Savings Bill of Rights (H.R. 3669 of the 107th Congress). This measure, which was approved by the Ways & Means Committee in April 2002 and reforms retirement plan rules in the wake of the Enron bankruptcy, will provide employees with new rights to diversify company stock contributed to their 401(k) accounts, will require new investment education notices and will allow employees to save for retirement planning expenses on a pre-tax basis. In addition, the bill will impose an excise tax on excessive corporate payments to senior executives in the run up to bankruptcy in order to prevent insiders from draining assets from a company as it declines.

We're not afraid of Hillary Clinton. She's a bully we've dealt with older white women trying to keep us down.
We have mined in war zones. She is trying to ruin our lives forever, forever. The death threats that we are getting are constant and they are detailed and they are serious and specific. Today it's us and tomorrow it could be you.
She broke us. She broke us. She broke us. And then we were like this is not right. We apologized because this was the right thing to do and we meant it. Our impression is that she mobilized her armies or bots or whatever to attack us.
She is using us as a shiny object. We all know what's going on here She's using us as a shiny object so that no-one is talking about her email investigation.

New Alzheimer's Treatments That May Ease the Mind
Laura Helmuthhttp://sageke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/sageke;2002/34/or9
Abstract: Science 297, 1260-1262 (2002).
STOCKHOLM--Alzheimer's researchers gathered here in late July with a sense of urgency and optimism about possible treatments--and perhaps preventions--for the mind-robbing disease. The 4000 attendees heard about progress on several fronts, including possible vaccines and treatments aimed either at blocking formation of amyloid, a small peptide thought to trigger the loss of brain neurons, or at dissolving the abnormal -amyloid deposits that are a hallmark of the disease.

Lodha files Rs one billion defamation suit against Birlas
The civil defamation case has been filed in the court of Justice Aniruddha Bose of Calcutta High Court.india Updated: Nov 02, 2006 15:56 IST
The legal tussle between the Birlas and Lodha has taken another turn with Lodha filing a Rs one billion defamation suit against the Birlas for alleged statements made against him.
The civil defamation case has been filed in the court of Justice Aniruddha Bose of Calcutta High Court and the court has already directed the two parties to file affidavits regarding the matter, Lodha's solicitor Debanjan Mondal told in Kolkata on Thursday.
Birla patriarch Basant Kumar Birla and several others, includinga PR company of the Birlas, were made respondents in the case, he said.
The petition sought an injunction from the court, restraining the Birlas from issuing defamatory words and statements against Lodha.
The matter would come up for hearing on November 27.
The Birlas and Lodha are engaged in a bitter legal battle for the control of the Rs 5000 crore assets of the MP Birla group after the death of Priyamvada Birla in July 2004.
Lodha's claim that the entire estate has been bequeathed to him by a purported will of Priyamvada made in 1999 was challenged by the Birlas claiming that the entire estate should go to charities as per a mutual will of MP Birla and Priyamvada made in 1982.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Akamai Technologies Chief Financial Officer Tim Weller said Tuesday that the company is setting its sights on the corporate enterprise market.
Akamai's customer base, which initially began with content companies, has risen to roughly 3,500, Weller said at the Robertson Stephens Tech 2001 conference in San Francisco. Akamai AKAM, +0.21% also has 50 reseller partners, a result of an initiative in the reseller market last year.
Weller reminded investors that he projects that the company will be EBITDA breakeven in its finances by mid-2002 and he emphasized the company's cost-efficient ways to deliver content.
One customer, Tower Records, cut its bandwidth costs by 50 percent while BET.com saved more than $1.3 million in infrastructure costs by eliminating hardware expenses. Weller also reminded investors that less than 20 percent of the company's revenue now comes from dot-coms.
Akamai shares were down $2 to $22.94 in afternoon trading Tuesday.
