In 2008 Munich celebrated the city's 850th birthday with lots of events and big parties throughout the year. For two days some roads in the city centre were crowded not by cars, but visitors who view live acts, performances, DJ's and sport events on 12 stages. They are located on the 7km around the "Altstadtring." This is the biggest birthday party Munich has ever seen. Organizers calculated with about 1 million visitors. From the people on the streets I guess there were more than that.
Munich is the capital of the German state of Bavaria and is Germany's third largest city, located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Black and gold - the colors of the Holy Roman Empire - have been the city's official colors since the time of Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

Winter warmers: styling men's puffer jackets this winter
The puffer jacket has historically been an item of clothing for men who have chosen comfort and function over fashion, but no longer. Over the past few seasons, we've seen puffer jackets rise the ranks to the runway and out onto the backs of trendsetters everywhere.
In reality, it is often hard to see where a puffer jacket would slot into your wardrobe if you're not going out on the water or the ski slopes. No matter your style or whether you're off to a casual or slightly more formal occasion, we show you how to style the puffer jacket this winter.

The weekend calls for comfort, but that's no excuse to not look good while you're out and about. Layering neutrals with rich tones and fabrics is a great way to create sophistication in a casual look.

If casual is not your vibe and a polished look is imperative, then thin layers are a must. You can still give the allure of slim tailoring, while managing to stay warm in the cooler months.

Bold is better when it comes to killer streetwear this winter. Big prints and bigger colours combine to channel an incredible A$AP Rocky-inspired look.

If you're heading out on the water this winter and consider yourself a regular Mr. Ripley, try layering a down vest on top of bulky cardigans, stripes and deep-sea-blue trousers.

Battle of Cannae
The Encyclopadiea Britannica notes of the battle, "The Romans, with 80,000 men, met the 50,000 Carthaginian and allied African, Gallic, and Spanish troops under Hannibal's command and were crushed by them. Hannibal's troops gradually surrounded their foes and annihilated them in a classic example of the double envelopment maneuver. Roman losses exceeded 65,000 men, while the Carthaginians lost only about 6,000."
What is shocking about this battle is the high number of losses. The Romans lost over 70,000 men. The Carthaginians lost over 6,000 men. All of the losses happened on the same day. This makes this battle one of the bloodiest in world history. Fatalities at this level would not be seen again until World War One.
Wikipedia noted, "The total number of lives lost surpasses the number of servicemen killed in the Royal Air Force throughout the First and Second World Wars. More men were killed at Cannae than in all the four months of the Battle of Passchendaele, which is considered one of the bloodiest battles of World War One. So devastating were these losses, that the total number of casualties represents just under one third of the total number of American soldiers, sailors, and airmen killed in four years of fighting during the Second World War. In fact, the losses suffered within a single day on the battlefield of Cannae (no larger than a few square miles), would not be equaled until the first day of fighting on the Somme in 1916 and which took place on a 25-mile front nearly 2,000 years later."
The loss almost shattered the Roman Republic. Many of Rome's allies in southern Italy declared for Carthage. King Philip V of Macedonia took advantage of the Roman situation to begin the First Macedonian War. Many Romans considered Rome doomed and fled Italy.
Rome survived and won the war. Eventually, after the Third Punic War, Carthage was razed. However, history almost took a very different course. What if Hannibal had followed up his win with a siege of Rome? He didn't do this due to a lack of siege equipment but if he had he may have won anyway. There would have been no Roman Empire and Carthage would have ruled the world instead.
The Battle of Cannae was a major event in the history of the Roman Republic. It defined an entire generation of Romans. Everyone knew someone who died at the battle. I imagine that people talked about where they were and what they were doing when they first heard about the Battle of Cannae. The death of so many Roman men must have seriously disrupted the government, the economy, and the ability of the Romans to continue the war.

Your blog looks interesting. I just started a history blog of my own and thought I'd look to see if there were any others on blogger. What are your credentials and could you get me more information on that history teachers magazine you mentioned in one of your entries. My blog is Musings of a History Student if you want to contact me. Thanks.
- Miland said...
Thanks for your note. I hope you enjoy being a history blogger.
"What are your credentials?"
I have four degrees, three of them graduate. I have over 20 articles in print in peer reviewed publications.
"Could you get me more information on that history teachers magazine you mentioned in one of your entries?"
I have referenced several journals in this blog. Which one are you talking about? And what sort of information do you want?
- History Student said...
I really don't remember which journal it was. I can recall it was one that was about different styles and methods of teaching history. I'm hoping to be a history teacher so I thought I'd see if I could get a hold of a copy to glance it over or to use for the future.
Just because I'm curious, what are your degrees in, of course you don't have to tell me that.

"Just because I'm curious, what are your degrees in, of course you don't have to tell me that."
Miland Brown is a pseudonym. I prefer to edit this blog with a degree of anonymity. A lot of people know my real identity at the university I work for in the USA and also in th History Carnival world.
My secret will be revealed eventually. I am not ashamed of any of my posts. I am not hiding anything.
I just like the fact that spammers and fringe history nuts can not harass me. As such, I wll not reveal all the info on my degrees as this will help to ID me to some people do not want to deal with until I have to. (There are drawbacks to having the #1 ranked history blog on the Internet...)
Rest assured, I have the four degrees I claim from real accredited institutions of higher education in the United States.
"I'm hoping to be a history teacher so I thought I'd see if I could get a hold of a copy to glance it over or to use for the future."
Contact the journal directly and ask for a free sample issue. Explain that you are a Canadian high school student interested in teaching history and they may give you a sample for free.
Good luck,
Miland Brown

I have always been baffled by the numbers at Cannae.
Not until the early 19th century would armies in Europe reach such numbers. At Waterloo for example Napoleon had less than 80,000 men. By then the population of Europe as well as logistics would be much higher. As for losses, it hardly seems possible for Rome to have taken such casualties out of a total estimated population of some 300,000 at the time especially since the Romans had taken a beating at Trebia and lake Trasimene before Cannae. Moreover it has never been conclusively proven that 50,000 armed men could be slaughtered in one afternoon. I personnaly believe the numbers at Cannae (both of the participants and of the casualties) must have been much smaller.
Thoughts, anyone ?
- K.e.n.n.e.t.h. said...
I am wondering if there is anything besides the writing of Polybius for the Battle of Cannae? I am having a one sided debate with someone who is claiming that since Polybius wrote about the battle many years later that there really isn't any evidence for it ever happening. Is there anything you can give me that will basically shut this guy up concerning this battle? I would gladly appreciate it.

Let's face it, it's never easy saying goodbye to summer. It's like saying au revoir to your favorite Aerie bra. No one REALLY wants to do it, but there comes a time when it must be done.
So we figure, why not have one last hurrah? We'll tell you how to make your end of summer party the one your friends will be talking about all winter long. Yes, we said the 'W' word. Too soon? Ok, maybe a little.
First and foremost, you'll need the perfect Aerie bikini. After all, you should be the life of the party, right?
Our Bridget Bikini Top and Hi-Rise Hipster Bottom definitely fit the bill. Between the soft foam padding and silky stretch nylon, you'll be comfortable enough to wear this number all night long. And did we mention how much we love this floral print? Adorbs.
Once you've decided on the perfect suit, be sure to pick up a few layering essentials. Our Swing Tank, Fleece Shorts and Henley Popover are perfect to throw on after a quick dip in the pool. And don't forget to grab your favorite pair of sunnies and a worn in baseball cap to help keep the rays at bay.
And what party would be complete without yummy snacks? Take full advantage of the last few weeks of warm weather by indulging in our favorite summer staple, s'mores. Ok, so we may be a week late on National S'mores Day, but really, who's paying attention?
Gather all your friends around a mini bonfire, grab a bag of marshmallows, and start roasting to perfection! xo

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
St. Patrick's day always means corned beef & cabbage (and maybe a wee pint or two). 🙂 A couple of years ago I found a wonderful recipe for corned beef in the crock pot which has always turned out very flavorful and makes all the cabbage, potatoes, turnip & carrots absorb the deliciousness. For some great Irish music to set the mood for the day I suggest checking out the Irish & Celtic Music podcast.
I thought it a fitting day for the first "real" post on the Potato Roots blog, about the Dennehy side of the family. My great-grandfather Daniel Dennehy was the son of Michael & Margaret Dennehy.
Photo above: Michael Dennehy (seated) with sons Patrick and John.
Michael Dennehy married Margaret (also spelled Margret) Sheahan on February 3rd, 1874 in Ballyshea, Co. Cork. The priest was listed as J.R. and their witnesses were John and Mary Foley.
Their children were:
- Daniel Dennehy, born Dec 9 th, 1874
- John Dennehy b. 1877
- Michael Dennehy
- Patrick Dennehy, b. June 24th, 1884
Above is a photo of the Dennehy family home. The parents and John stayed in Ireland, but their son Daniel emigrated to Massachusetts and his brothers Michael and Patrick also came to the United States and went back and forth. We have a lot of information on Daniel and his family which I will post about in the near future. For now I am doing a bit more research on his brothers.
Recently I came across records for Michael Dennehy in the 1901 and 1911 Irish Census. In 1901, there is only a listing for heads of household so Michael is listed in Ballyshanedehy, in the parish of Effin, Limerick, Ireland. In 1911 there is an image, and the household filled out their own census record. We will perhaps never know why Michael filled in "America" as birth place because all of our other evidence suggests that he never set foot there, but I will lean toward the probability that he was joking around.

Chester says Gippsland voters 'have made up their mind'
The Nationals' MP for Gippsland, Darren Chester, says the electorate is ready for a change of government.
Mr Chester, who holds the seat by a margin of 11 per cent, says he will continue campaigning until the last vote is cast tomorrow evening but he believes voters made up their minds some time ago.
"We've seen over these past 10 days a huge increase in the amount of people who are pre-polling, which I think indicates that people have made up their mind," he said.
"They're ready to change the Government and they want to actually see some stability, some certainty.
"I'll be working up until the last vote is cast and certainly take nothing for granted but I believe that the people of Gippsland have certainly made up their mind and are ready to change the Government."
Labor's candidate for the seat of Gippsland says the electorate should vote for him, to try to make Gippsland a marginal seat.
Jeff McNeill says Gippsland voters should support him and narrow the margin.
"Wouldn't it be lovely to make this a marginal seat and we would then be taken seriously by both parties and have appropriate funding spent in our area on real infrastructure that's necessary for this area to develop for the future and don't treat us like a backwash of Melbourne and Canberra," he said.

Besides Grand, a total of five other teams have been invited to participate in the two-day tournament, which is scheduled to start on Friday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. and continue on Saturday, Dec. 7, beginning at 9 a.m. in the GCHS gymnasium. According to Wells, the following schools are expected to attend: San Juan, Monticello, Gunnison, Summit Academy, and Nucla, Colo.
Wells said the GCHS lineup includes several returning wrestlers from last year. Only three weight classes are open, or lacking a competitor – the 152-pound, 171-pound, and 220-pound divisions. The Red Devils also have athletes who are injured in two additional weight classes. Those team members, Gage Moore, who wrestles at 106 pounds and Stephen Messick at 182 pounds, will not be able to compete at the start of the season, according to Wells.
Wells said the most competitive weight class for Grand this year is the 145-pound category. Three wrestlers – Seth Holyoak, Qordale Tsosie, and Richie Cordero – are all vying for the 145-pound slot, Wells said.
GCHS senior Jacob Francis is expected to be a top contender in the 138-pound weight class, provided he is able to avoid the shoulder injury problems that sidelined him last year. Also competing at 138 pounds for Grand is Anthony Denton.
In the lower weights, the Red Devil roster features John Corbin, wrestling at 106 pounds, Gage Longley at 112 pounds, Gage Lindquist and Justin Moore at 119 pounds, Andrew Hugentobler at 126 pounds, and Robert Allred at 132 pounds.
In the upper weights, senior Edgar Gomez is returning as a top heavyweight contender. Gomez placed third in state in that category last year. Grand also has two wrestlers in the 195-pound category: Matt Bridenbaker and Tyler Shepherd. Ronnie Dolphin, wrestling at 160 pounds, rounds out the current roster for the Red Devils.
"I'm excited for us to host an invitational tournament again," Wells said. "Hopefully, we can get off to a good start."
Following this weekend's tournament, Grand will host a dual meet against Monticello next Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m.

SOURCE: American Academy of Ophthalmology
December 20, 2011 10:23 ET
WASHINGTON, DC and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 20, 2011) - The American Academy of Ophthalmology today announced that it is partnering with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a program that will help ophthalmologists reduce a rare, but potentially sight-stealing complication in patients who have undergone cataract surgery. As a part of the FDA's Proactive TASS Program, an initiative created to curtail the spread of Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS), the Academy will help to create a physician registry to track TASS occurrences. The registry, which is currently in a pilot stage, will assist the FDA in determining the cause of the condition in order to prevent future outbreaks.
TASS is a rare inflammatory condition most often associated with cataract surgery. The condition usually occurs within 48 hours after surgery on the front portion of the eye that includes the cornea, iris, lens and anterior chamber (the fluid-filled space between the lens and the cornea). TASS symptoms include blurry vision and redness resulting from swelling of the cornea and a build up of white blood cells, protein, or fibrin deposits in the anterior chamber. While many cases resolve in a few weeks without treatment, some TASS cases can develop serious complications leading to additional surgeries and vision loss.
Currently, the identification of TASS outbreaks is dependent on surgeons and surgical centers keeping detailed records of all products and equipment used during cataract surgery. However, this can be cumbersome and underreporting is suspected. The new online reporting mechanism will be housed with the Academy-sponsored registry for Physician Quality Reporting System, a system that ophthalmologists use regularly, making reporting more convenient.
The Academy, through its Hoskins Center for Quality Eye Care, is partnering with Outcome Sciences, Inc., a company that provides services and technologies focused on evaluating safety, effectiveness, and quality in healthcare, to create the registry. The Academy will serve as a consultant in the program, helping to determine the data to be collected and to recruit cataract surgeons to participate. The Academy also will be involved in the analysis of the data collected at the end of the pilot to determine if changes are needed prior to the creation of a permanent registry.
"The Academy's partnership with the FDA establishes a means for active surveillance and early detection of Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome," said Richard L. Abbott, MD, president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. "With the number of cataract procedures significantly increasing as a result of the aging baby-boomer population, this initiative will help to ensure patient safety through the establishment of important quality of care standards through which this complication can be effectively managed."
The Academy's efforts are part of a broader FDA program that is one of the first proactive surveillance programs to monitor the multiple medical devices used in cataract surgery and to aid in early identification of a national TASS outbreak. The FDA will use the pilot to develop the permanent registry that can be used by regulatory agencies as well as clinicians. The registry will provide a better understanding of factors present in the development of adverse events and outbreaks in patients who have received intraocular lenses.
"Information gathered by the FDA's Proactive TASS Program will lead to the earlier investigation of national TASS outbreaks and determination of whether a medical device is the source of the outbreak," said Malvina Eydelman, MD, director of the Division of Ophthalmic, Neurological, and Ear, Nose, and Throat Devices at the FDA's Center for Radiological Health. "The physician registry created by the Academy is a key component in our efforts to safeguard the public from a potentially harmful condition."
Cataracts affect nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and older, and by age 80 more than half of all Americans have cataracts. It is estimated that 1 in every 6 people over age 40 in the U.S. has a cataract. Over 3million cataract surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year, a number likely to rise as the population ages.
About the American Academy of Ophthalmology
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the world's largest association of eye physicians and surgeons -- Eye M.D.s -- with more than 30,000 members worldwide. Eye health care is provided by the three "O's" -- ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians. It is the ophthalmologist, or Eye M.D., who can treat it all: eye diseases and injuries, and perform eye surgery. To find an Eye M.D. in your area, visit the Academy's Web site at www.aao.org. The Academy's EyeSmart® public education program works to educate the public about the importance of eye health and to empower people to preserve their healthy vision, by providing the most trusted and medically accurate information about eye diseases, conditions and injuries.

2011-08-05 Presidential Memorial Certificates
Start: 12:06:17
AYWalton: Hey hey hey, it's honora!!!!! wassup jhonora??? hello there, bearnut2, howdy alt!
bearnut2: Hi AYWalton, alt, and jhonora
AYWalton: hope you are all well.
alt: hello AYWalton, bearnut2 & jhonora.. hope you all are doing well today.
AYWalton: how are you today alt?
bearnut2: I'm pretty good--just having a "discussion" on the 23andme forum about the African Health Project
alt: okay AYWalton, thanks
AYWalton: sounds interesting. what are folks saying?
jhonora: Hello alt, AYWalton, bearnut2
bearnut2: yeah, I knew there would be folks who suddenly decided to "use" their African percentage for a free test... I just didn't realize some would be so blatent about it. lol
jhonora: I hope y'all have been good, just back from a week in Los Angeles
AYWalton: are you saying that folks who live not as black but white, who are taking the test? hope you had a good time in LA, jhonora.
bearnut2: aywalton--yes
AYWalton: what took you there, jhonora?
alt: bearnut2, how 'deep' is the Y & mtDNA testing by 23&me? like how many markers for Y & what resolution for mtDNA
jhonora: Our Nat'l Convention with the knights.
AYWalton: alt they are actually conducting HEALTH analysis primarly, and want 10,000 black folks to submit samples.
bearnut2: alt--I'm not sure--we get a mtdna and Y haplogroup but thats the extent of it
AYWalton: they will do admixture as a throw in benefit.
bearnut2: hi seventies
AYWalton: the focus is HEALTH and genetic predisposition for certain diseases. genealogy is not their focus primarily, but they will do the admixture and include it in the results.
alt: I saw the ad & submitted for the 'free' kit, was gonna try and get a couple of grandkids to test with them.
bearnut2: they also have relative finder that is similar to family finder
AYWalton: which is probably why they have Skip Gates---the only non-scientist listed as a "sponsor".
jhonora: Forgive me, which test service is this?
bearnut2: 23andme
alt: welcome home jhonora, hopr your convention was successful
ProfDru: hello gang
alt: Hello ProfDru...
bearnut2: jhonora--what are "knights"--Knights of Columbus? hi ProfDru
jhonora: close bearnut2, Knights of Peter Claver
AYWalton: 23&me is the test, bearnut2--the same group you were in a forum discussing. how was the convention, jhonora? Ah---ProfDru is in da house!
ProfDru: still a tired professor dru lol
jhonora: It was good, I think many more people are encouraged about sending me items for the history project, AY.
AYWalton: oh that is wonderful, jhonora!!! I am excited to hear that!
jhonora: AY, I also had a long conversation with Ms. Yvonne Lansey before I left, she was the last president of Ideal Bank in Baltimore.
alt: wonderful jhonora, a "heightened' awareness is always good for any organization.
AYWalton: how is ProfDru today? what did you all talk about, jhonora?
ProfDru: tired
AYWalton: still tired, ProfDru?
ProfDru: tired, but making myself get up and moving.
bearnut2: aywalton--yes--there was a guy on the forum who identifies himself as "Hispanic"--and would probably be offended if anyone called him "African-anything" but he wanted to participate so he could get a free test. When he found that he may or may not get a test, he then decided that it was a waste of his time if he wouldn't get the free test. hmmm...
jhonora: About her family, their bank, and their long history in Baltimore, I thought you might know of them.
AYWalton: that is interesting, bearnut
alt: bearnut2, do you think the 23&me is misleading as to the genealogical statements of the testing?
bearnut2: alt--I don't know what you mean...
AYWalton: I am not a Baltimore native (remember I am really Arkansas/Oklahoma), but I have heard of the name is all.
jhonora: lol I remember, you are from the "territory"
alt: other than a basic haplogroup assignment... a "letter", how deep is the Y & mtDNA?
AYWalton: lol that's right. I am an intruder here in Baltimore. who just left the room? ahh ProfDru, she is still tired. Her grandmother died last week and the funeral was this week.
bearnut2: alt--ok I must not be getting it--the test at 23andme is autosomal they use SNPs not STRs so for Y and mtDNA you only get a haplogroup assignment...
alt: example bearnut2, I'm I1d1-P109 from the 67 marker Y-DNA with FTDNA would 23&me simply state I'm "I" as a 12 marker test would tell me.
bearnut2: You then get percentages of your "makeup" (African/European/Asian) and you also get matches to other people who have DNA in common with you.
AYWalton: Howdy Ms. Selma!!!
bearnut2: alt--Ahh--now I understand--you would get the same depth as you would for the 67 marker--for example my mtdna is L3d1-5
alt: okay bearnut2, on FTDNA's Family Finder I have 22 matches .... 3-5 cousin range... is that similar to Realtive Finder?
bearnut2: ok lost some letters! lol Hi Selma!
AYWalton: Selma how long do you have to wear the cast?
alt: WOW!!!! that's at a pretty deep level for a 'free' test.
Selma: 2 weeks weeks If all goes well I will be getting a walking cast
alt: your hardcast have a 'heel' so you can use your walker Selma?
Selma: Nope...no heel..I use the walker but I HOP
alt: okay Hopalong LOL
AYWalton: no crutches, Selma?
Selma: Oh yes I have those too...I am like a rehab center here
AYWalton: lol
bearnut2: alt-yes I have around 200 on relative finder
alt: Anita has 'crutches', no weight on the 'bad' foot for two weeks.
AYWalton: well hang in there---once you get the walking cast I know you will be happy so you will have some mobility! have to run folks.
alt: is that right bearnut2 ... 200, that's a sizeable number.
AYWalton: jhonora will send you Agnes Callum's number. take care everyone, have a good weekend.
jhonora: Thank you!
bearnut2: alt--yeah each of my family's profiles has around that number but out of all 5 of us, I'm only sharing with 158 selma--ouch--hopefully you were having fun right before you broke it

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease. This means that CF is inherited. A child will be born with CF only if two CF genes are inherited--one from the mother and one from the father. A person who has only one CF gene is healthy and said to be a carrier of the disease. A carrier has an increased chance of having a child with CF.
Once parents have had a child with CF, they have a 25% chance that each additional child will be born with CF. This means that there is a 75% chance that additional children will not have CF. However, these children may be carriers of the CF gene.
Because most often a family has no history of CF, the diagnosis comes as a surprise to parents. Since both parents are healthy, they didn't know that they carried the gene, or that they passed the gene to the unborn baby at the same time.
Genes are found on structures in the cells of the body called chromosomes. Each cell normally contains 46 total chromosomes, or 23 pairs of chromosomes. The seventh pair of chromosomes contains a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. Mutations or errors in this gene are what cause CF. This gene is quite large and complex. More than 1,800 different mutations in this gene have been found that cause CF.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, if you have no family history of CF, the risk for having a mutation in the gene for CF depends on your ethnic background:
Ethnic Background
Risk of CF Mutation
Risk of Child with CF
1 in 29
1 in 2,500-3,500
1 in 46
1 in 4,000-10,000
1 in 65
1 in 15,000-20,000
1 in 90
1 in 100,000
Screening for cystic fibrosis is part of newborn screening in every state in the U.S. A positive newborn screening is not a diagnosis of CF, but it does mean more testing is done.
A sweat chloride test to measure the amount of salt in your child's sweat is usually the first test done to try to diagnose CF.
Testing for the CF gene can be done from a small blood sample or from a cheek swab, which is a brush rubbed against the inside of your cheek to obtain cells for testing. Laboratories generally test for the 20 or so most common mutations.
Many people with CF have mutations that have not been identified. In other words, all of the genetic errors that cause the disease have not been discovered. Because not all mutations are detectable, a person can still be a CF carrier even if no mutations were found by carrier testing.
Testing for the CF gene is recommended for anyone who has a family member with the disease. It's also recommended if your partner is a known carrier of CF or affected with CF.

It's only fitting that a new batch of songs, a new round of recordings, and everything else that goes into an album will reflect a band's recent personal upheavals and artistic changes. But Light Chasers, the new album Cloud Cult will complete soon for release later this year, will have to absorb a ton of change in the lives of leader Craig Minowa and his wife Connie. (An EP called Running With The Wolves, due out April 20, offers something of a preview.) After years of having so many of the band's songs interpreted as grieving over the 2002 death of their infant son Kaidin (with good reason), Connie gave birth to their second son, Nova, last year. The couple also moved from their longtime home in rural Minnesota to a new piece of farmland near Viroqua. In other words, they're a little closer to Madison, but still have a way to retreat from the world and music industry at large. That may help to keep the searching, endlessly vulnerable quality in the band's increasingly orchestral psych-pop, and will also help Minowa stick to the band's famously eco-friendly approach to touring and releasing CDs. While preparing to debut at least a couple of new songs—"Running With The Wolves" and "The Day We Gave Ourselves To The Fire"—during Friday's show at the Majestic Theatre, Craig spoke with The A.V. Club in Spring Green about all the new he and Connie have encountered in a relatively short time.
New Wisconsin studio digs
Craig Minowa: That was one of the first things we did when we got there, built the studio. I knew that the winter was going to be time for working on the album. It's awesome, 'cause it's got a great view of the backwoods area. Being out there during the day, I can see deer go by or a raccoon, and it's super-inspiring. It's built in a rock quarry, so the topography's just crazy. There's cliffs in the back. We're trying to figure out how to reintroduce some of the native plant life and see what happens with that.
New kid, and playing sober
CM: Preparing to have [Nova], there's a lot of drive for personal growth, where you want to be the best parent you can be. Last spring, since we were pregnant, Connie obviously wasn't able to drink, so I wanted to do that with her. I've always had a lot of performance anxiety, so I'd gotten used to having a couple of drinks before I go onstage over the years. The spring touring, knowing that I had to approach it all totally clear-headed, was a motivation to really get into some regular meditation and get on top of dealing with my own demons and whatnot.
Scoring National Geographic documentaries
CM: I had thought that I would break it down and get more acoustic-y, with [Nova being born], but I've been scoring music for National Geographic documentaries, too. I've been really enjoying the composition process and bringing in all these different—"oh, I want a clarinet," or "I want a trombone." It's been just so fun to do that the two have overlapped and it's become more of a composition process for Cloud Cult, too.
When I was in high school, I wanted to go to school for music composition—to write music for National Geographic documentaries—but my high-school orchestra conductor said that I shouldn't do that, it was way too competitive of a field, and that I should go to school for instrument repair, because I'd be able to get a job in that. I was so bummed out about that that I changed my college plans to environmental science. Years later, the producer of this National Geographic documentary was a Cloud Cult fan, and said, "By any chance, is there a way that you would compose for us?" I've done four for them so far [including the episode of Expedition Wild highlighted below], and I've got three more left to do this year, and I totally love it.
Taking the trendiness of "green" in stride
CM: It's weird in the sense that when we first started off, there were a lot of reviewers that actually made fun of us for [having eco-friendly business practices]. At the time, unless you were in a hippie jam band or a preachy folk act, the idea of the environmental pursuits wasn't a cool thing to do.
At face value, I think that's annoying, but if being "green" becomes a cool thing and that helps the movement, then it's better for the planet. Of course, terminology like "green" or "sustainable" or "organic" is getting so watered-down. Popularity for a movement like this is important, so irritation will be set aside as far as those that are jumping on the bandwagon.
Balancing songwriting and parenting
CM: It's been a really neat writing process, because it was a lot of night hours where I just walked around with Nova. [Nova starts crying in the background.] He's gonna be a vocalist.
The A.V. Club: So you've managed to be productive during the sleepless new-parent period?
CM: Yeah, it's a great time for writing. We kind of approached it a little bit different too, where I realized that I want the final product to be something that he can listen to if I'm not around anymore. It's different, too, in the sense that before, the writing process was something that if you had the inspiration, you'd go into the studio, but now, studio time is [more scheduled]. You learn how to turn it on and turn it off. I couldn't do that before.

Off in the distance the early morning sounds begin to awake as I make my way down the steep hill. The sun is just starting to peek and make its first appearance of the day as I take a moment to appreciate the sounds of nature around me.
I begin my stroll across the floating dock towards the Beaver Creek Marina when suddenly, due to the quiet surroundings, I'm very aware of the sound my steps are making as the noise echoes below. The only other sound competing against my shoes is the gentle lap of water that is intercepting the shoreline on this nearly windless day.
It's still early, but the marina staff is already in mid-morning form. Rental houseboats are quickly being cleaned and prepared so they'll be ready for the next round of guests that will soon be arriving. Because of the low water on Kentucky's Lake Cumberland, the marina has no choice but to ferry people to the nearby slips, since walking to the private houseboats is no longer possible.
As I step on the pontoon taxi it gently rocks and the captain just smiles as he welcomes me aboard. It's going to be another hot one on this August lake so I take the time to appreciate the gentle wind in my face as we begin our short cruise toward the slips where the Horizon Yachts houseboat that I've come to photograph is docked.
Out of nowhere, without warning, I'm startled by the sound of a large train that is blaring its horn and it's all that I can do to keep from falling out of my seat. If any creature was still sleeping, it's surely awake now. With a look of confusion I glance at the pontoon driver as I try to comprehend where a train could possibly be coming from and he just simply smiles back.
"Ah, that's just Doc Ison," says the young captain in a southern accent. "He's just welcoming you to the lake." I look off the bow of the pontoon taxi to see a man smiling as he's now standing on the dock waiting for my arrival. I'm not sure if he's as proud of his houseboat as he is the train steam whistle, but either way I quickly realize this is going to be a fun day.
Yeah Buddy
If there is a more inviting and friendly couple than Dr. David and Tracy Ison on Cumberland we haven't found them yet. This lively couple with fun personalities are all about having a good time and the train whistle on their Horizon houseboat named Yeah Buddy is the perfect addition to their boat. Now you can call the dentist Dave or David, but don't be offended if he doesn't respond at first. It's just that he's simply known as Doc Ison around here and everyone calls him Doc, including his wife.
This isn't their first houseboat, but a custom-built Horizon hardly seemed possible just a few years earlier when the couple was looking to upgrade from their current boat.
Tracy recalls walking through the National Houseboat Expo in Louisville, Ky. in 2009 with her husband and having the feeling that they'd never be able to afford a custom houseboat.
"He was telling me you must have to be rich to afford to have a houseboat custom-made, but dreams are kind of funny," says Tracy. "I have a theory: the more you talk about a dream the more it comes true and the more you say it out loud, the more you network it into your life and that's what happened to us."
While looking at the showboats that year at the Expo they felt some had features they didn't really want, while others were missing features that they felt they truly needed. So it was at this show when they started looking seriously at the possibility of having one built just for them.
"We found many manufacturers were busy building boats and didn't have time to talk to us or they weren't in the mood to help us financially afford the boat," recalls Doc. "So we talked to Mr. Ray Chesney at Horizon and he was tickled to death to work with us."
The couple met with Chesney, the owner of Horizon Yachts, as well as Jason Stockton and plant manager Darrell Bunch and they began going over plans as far as what they felt they had to have. What they ended up with is a beautiful 18- by 87-foot widebody Horizon Yacht that actually looks bigger in person.
"People see us coming down the lake and then when they hear the old brass steam whistle blow they tend to get out of the way," says Doc with a smile. "They do notice the Yeah Buddy coming down the lake."
Easy As A Whistle
Working with Horizon was very easy for the Kentucky couple because the manufacturer was willing to incorporate their ideas into the design, including the steam whistle.
"I had been very hesitant in the past about working with a houseboat company because I thought it was going to be one of those, `It's going to be our way or nothing else' kind of situations," says Doc. "I found out that's not the way Horizon works. Mr. Chesney bent over backwards to make sure we had the best boat at a price we could afford and on a timely basis as well."
From an antique dinning table to modifying a bed for the master stateroom, the Isons' personal touches were mingled perfectly throughout the layout of the new boat. And best of all, Horizon was able to incorporate the train whistle, which was something that made them happy.
Years earlier Doc had picked up the steam whistle that originally came from an Ohio manufacturer that used it on a steam boat on the Ohio River. He tried to find a way to make it work on his boat at the time, but discovered it to be nearly impossible since you need a very big compressor, as well as good high-pressure lines. He also failed when trying to adapt it to his second boat so he wasn't sure it would even be possible when he took it to Horizon.
"Mr. Chesney said he wanted to take a look at it and the next thing I knew it was mounted to the boat," says Doc. "He was blowing lunch calls every day at the factory after that."
Seeing their ideas come to life as well as working closely with Horizon on the specific interior designs was a highlight for Tracy. She estimates she spent between 10 to 12 hours total over several weeks picking fabrics and getting the woodwork exactly how they wanted it.
"They gave us all the latitude we wanted and were very receptive to our ideas," says Tracy. "Anything we wanted to include they said they'll find a way to do it."
The couple went with a side hall design, which Tracy likes to boast was constructed by the finest Kentucky craftsmanship around and is still amazed by how well all the angles fit together on this unique floorplan. In the master stateroom you get a sense of home with the bed posts as well as the headboard.
"They made it very easy and you really do feel like family at Horizon, mainly because they've stayed with us since the day we put the boat in the water."
Working Smarter
The battery setup is a combination of the Horizon system and Lite the Nite Technologies custom inverter system. Horizon installed two house batteries for the vessel 12-volt system as well as one battery for the MMC electronic shift. Lite the Nite Technologies installed a custom-built 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter system with 180 amp three stage smart charging system, along with a bank of nine batteries, totaling 1125 amp hours. All the battery systems are on separate chargers and that ensures he will never run out of electricity in case of an emergency.
Lite the Nite Technologies staff worked in conjunction with Horizon to pre-wire the vessel for an inverter system. An energy usage analysis was completed to determine the customer's usage needs and load requirements of the individual electrical components.
"I wanted something that would run 8 to 9 hours while using only half of the charge so I didn't over extend the batteries," says Doc. "Lite the Nite Technologies came up with this custom pure sine wave inverter system, which recharges in 3 to 4 hours and it can give me 9 to 12 hours, even with a tremendous load. It tweaks the electricity out of the batteries and I only used a capful of water for each battery in our first year and that surprised me."
Powered by twin 5.0 GXi Volvo Penta dual prop outdrives, Doc is plenty happy with the power. The 87-footer quickly moves across the water, but it's the 10-inch hydraulic bow and stern thrusters that he really appreciates, especially while maneuvering his boat around the docks at Beaver Creek Marina.
Other touches to the boat include the hydraulic lift for the PWC is the stern, the lake water system, top deck projector screen, as well as all the other necessities that Horizon made possible.
Next Buddy?
"I stop by [Horizon Yachts] regularly just to see what they have because at some point I might decided to do it again," says Doc. "You just never know." For now the couple is very content enjoying their custom houseboat that they never felt could be possible.
"Horizon Yachts did a superb job in the construction and our boat has state-of-the-art engines, thrusters and electronics," says Doc. "My hat is off to Mr. Ray Chesney and his staff for the excellent boat they built for us."

Hi, The stove arrived tonight after dark and it is so beautiful. There was 5 other people here (friends and neighbors) and they were in awe. RH
- Occasionally I am stunned when I find a business where the proprietor was on hand, knew the business and product in and out, told the absolute truth and was looking out for the consumer.! - Janet A North Hollywood, CA
- Talk about amazing customer service and really caring person to person instead of just the $$. So nice & refreshing. Also, my Mom bought a stove from them about 8 years ago and they have taken care of that too, still working beautifully for her. I highly recommend them, really amazing. Ashley B

With constant speculation about his retirement following the recent poor show, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has given an indication that he may finally be ready to call it a day. He had a discussion with chief selector Sandeep Patil on Tuesday.
"They had a frank discussion, and Tendulkar told Patil that since he is not getting runs, he would like to leave it to the selectors to take a call (on his retirement)," a cricket board insider told media.
This comes in the wake of the crushing defeat India suffered against England in Mumbai. Tendulkar fell to left-arm spinner Monty Panesar in both innings, scoring only eight runs each time. In the first Test in Ahmedabad, he got out for 13.
Though the national selectors made only one change in the squad for the Kolkata Test — replacing Umesh Yadav with Ashok Dinda — most cricket debates remain focused on Tendulkar's retirement.
The batsman, eight short of becoming the first cricketer to play 200 Tests, has not scored a century since the Cape Town match against South Africa in January 2011. Since then, he has gone 15 Tests, and 28 innings, without reaching triple figures.
The little master, who will turn 40 on April 24 next year, also had a forgettable home series against New Zealand recently. Though India won 2-0, he was bowled in all three innings, with critics raising concerns about whether his legendary batting skills were waning.
Patil's talk with Tendulkar also puts on notice other players who have not performed consistently. Though the selectors were supposed to announce the 15-member squad on Tuesday for the last two Tests as well as the two Twenty20 internationals, they named the side only for the Kolkata Test, leaving room for more changes.

Cal-OSHA lifts closure order on farm operator after worker's death
UPDATE: Cal-OSHA lifted the order Wednesday that temporarily closed Etchegaray Farms following the death of a worker.
A story about the Cal-OSHA investigation that was published Tuesday is below in its original form.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - McFarland-based Etchegaray Farms was ordered by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health to shut down all outdoor operations immediately.
On Friday, 37-year-old farmworker Juan Ochoa, an employee of Etchegaray Farms, collapsed and died while working alongside his brother Alejandro in triple-digit temperature.
The pair were working in a lemon orchard near Richgrove in Tulare County. Cal-OSHA spokesman Peter Melton said Tuesday the order stopping all outdoor operations work sites was due to imminent hazards posed to employees.
"The order was issued because the employer failed to provide access to shade, follow high-heat procedures or institute/train on emergency procedures," said Melton.
Eyewitness News called and visited the company office on Famoso Road for comment, but the company said it did not have a comment on either the death of Juan Ochoa or the shutdown order by Cal-OSHA.
"California employers are required to take steps to prevent heat illness," said Melton.
The agency said it found that Etchegaray Farms failed take numerous proper steps as outlined in safety regulations. Among them are safety training for all employees and supervisors about heat illness prevention, provide enough fresh water for employees to drink at least one quart per hour and encourage them to do so.
An employer is also required to provide shade and encourage employees to take a "cool down" in the shade for at least five minutes.
"These are the provisions that the employer did not meet regarding heat illness," said Melton.
The family of Juan Ochoa is glad Cal-OSHA is taking steps in the matter.
"Unfortunately, for my cousin it is a little bit too late," said Luis Ochoa.
According to Cal-OSHA, the shutdown order will remain in place until Etchegaray Farms can demonstrate that the imminent hazards have been removed or no longer exist. A rosary service for Juan Ochoa will be held Friday in Delano.
No cause of death has yet been determined by the Tulare County coroner's office.

Facebook has announced the Facebook Home app and the HTC First is the 'Facebook Phone'. So, here's everything you need to know about to two. See also: How to get Facebook Home on your Android smartphone. Updated on 17/04/13.
Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook's 'new home on Android' which is called, well, Facebook Home. It's not a regular app and it's not a Facebook operating system. It's an app like we've not seen before with the ability to take over most of your smartphone, if you give it permission to. See also: Facebook phone leaked again with software shown in detail.
As expected, the HTC First is the Facebook Phone and has been specifically designed for Facebook Home. It will be the first smartphone to come with it pre-loaded but Facebook Home will also hit the Google Play Store for other users. Take a look at 31% of people want a Facebook Phone: 56% do not.
The whole situation sounds confusing and it is really. We've put this FAQ article together to answer all the questions you might have about Facebook Home and the HTC First.
See also: Facebook Home review; HTC First smartphone hands-on review.
Facebook Home: What is it?
Facebook is calling Home a 'whole new experience for your phone'. It's a new version of the Facebook app for Android which takes over your homescreen and other areas of the operating system.
Facebook Home: Is it an operating system?
No. Facebook describes Home as a "family of apps". We would describe it as a cross between an app and an Android overlay.
Facebook Home: Cover Feed
Cover Feed is the Facebook Home replacement for the regular Android homescreen and lockscreen. It shows you updates from Facebook like the news feed you see normally.
Facebook Home: Chat Heads
Chat Heads is the name for messaging in Facebook Home essentially. It combines Facebook Messenger with regular text messages. Each time you're messages a Chat Head will appear on top of the app your using with a photo of that person. It can be moved around the screen where you like. You can then reply and carry on using your app, leaving the Chat Head(s) in view, or close it by dragging it down like apps in Windows 8.
Facebook Home: Notifications
When on the Cover Feed screen, you'll get notifications such as someone posting to your timeline. Like Chat heads, these will be accompanied by a profile picture of the person in question. Like regular Android notifications, you can tap to open them or swipe to hide them.
Facebook Home: Apps
Since Facebook Home replaces the homescreen and locksreen, you must swipe up from cover feed to access your favourite apps in the launcher. There's also an app menu showing all installed apps. As you can see, there is quick access to Facebook status, photos and check-in from here.
Facebook Home: When can I get it?
Facebook Home will be on the Google Play Store to download on 12 April. It will also come pre-loaded on the HTC First, see details below.
Facebook Home: Where is it available?
The app will initially be available for download in the US with other countries to follow "shortly after".
Facebook Home: Which Android smartphones does it work on?
Facebook has only developed the Home app for certain Android smartphones: the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2. In the future is will be available for the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 and more devices over the months following the launch.
Facebook Home: Will it work on tablets?
Initially, Facebook Home won't launch for tablets but the firm is interested in doing so in the future.
Facebook Home: Will it launch on iPhone?
There has been no mention of whether Facebook Home will launch on iPhone or not. It's unlikely though as Android has been chosen due to its open source platform.
Update: Facebook has updated the iPhone app to include the Chat Heads feature of Facebook Home. Apple is reportedly in talks with Facebook about bringing Facebook Home to iOS.
HTC First: What is it?
The HTC First is a new smartphone which is the, er, first to come pre-loaded with Facebook Home. It's been dubbed the 'Facebook Phone'.
HTC First: When will it launch?
The HTC First will launch on 12 April with the Facebook Home app in the US with AT&T. In the UK it will launch with EE during the summer.
HTC First: How much will it cost?
On an AT&T contract, the HTC First will cost $99. There's no word on a UK pricing yet.
HTC First: What colours are there?
The HTC First will be available in black, red, white and blue colour varients.
HTC First: Specs
• 4.3in screen 720p resolution
• 1.4GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
• 16GB internal storage
• 5Mp rear camera
• 1.6Mp front camera
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 4.0

The eighth-seeded Nebraska volleyball team posted its third straight postseason sweep on Friday, topping No. 9 San Diego in straight sets in an NCAA Regional Semifinal in front of 8,297 fans at the Devaney Center.
The Huskers never trailed by more than three at any point in the match, but were constantly pushed by a Torero squad who entered the match with the nation's third-longest winning streak at 17 matches. San Diego produced more kills than Nebraska, but the Huskers committed fewer errors to advance to Saturday's primetime NCAA Regional Final against No. 1 Texas.
First serve tomorrow Saturday is set for 8 p.m. and the match will be televised live on ESPNU. The Longhorns defeated Nebraska, 3-1, in the 2009 NCAA Regional Final in Omaha, and Texas topped the Huskers in five sets in Austin earlier this season.
Nebraska (26-6) was led by a match-high 14 kills from Kelsey Robinson and 11 kills from Meghan Haggerty on Friday. Haggerty hit .588 in the win, committing just one error in 17 swings. Robinson hit .265 and contributed nine digs and four blocks for the Huskers. Kadie Rolfzen narrowly missed a double-double with nine kills and 11 digs, while Mary Pollmiller dished out 29 assists and Justine Wong-Orantes totaled 14 digs. Wong-Orantes also added an ace, as a trio of Husker freshmen combined to produce four aces, including two from Alexa Ethridge and one from Brenna Lyles.
The Huskers hit .254 as a team and out-blocked the Toreros, 9-4.
San Diego was led by 12 kills from Chloe Ferrari and 10 kills from Sandra Lozic. USD produced three more kills than Nebraska (46-to-43), but the Toreros committed 18 attack errors and 10 service errors. C'era Oliveira produced a match-high 17 digs, while Jianna Bonomi (22) and Rachel Alvey (19) combined to produce 41 of San Diego's 45 assists. The Toreros ended their season with a 26-4 record while matching the best finish in school history.
In set one, the teams traded sideouts until seven consecutive points on strong serving from Lyles gave the Huskers a 9-3 lead and forced San Diego to call an early timeout. Nebraska, which produced 10 kills in its first 16 attacks, stretched the lead to 15-7 with three straight points. San Diego spent its final timeout after Robinson's fifth kill gave NU a 19-10 advantage. The Toreros won back-to-back rallies for the first time following the timeout, then used three consecutive points to trim the lead to 22-16. Three straight Husker attack errors pulled USD within four at 23-19, before two Robinson kills in the final three rallies closed out a 25-20 victory. Robinson produced eight kills in the set, as Nebraska hit .325 and out-blocked San Diego, 3-0.
Three consecutive points gave Nebraska an early 6-3 lead in set two, before San Diego stormed back to tie the score at 7-7. The Huskers could not regain a three-point advantage until taking a 15-12 lead at the media timeout. Nebraska stretched the lead to four after the timeout and the teams then traded sideouts for the next 15 rallies before San Diego held serve to cut the lead to 23-21 and force a Husker timeout. A Haggerty kill gave Nebraska three set points and the Toreros fought off the first two before the Huskers spent their final timeout. The timeout was well spent, as a service error gave Nebraska a 25-23 win. Errors doomed San Diego in set two, as the Toreros produced seven hitting errors and five service errors. USD produced a 21-12 advantage in kills in the set, out-dug Nebraska by five and matched the Huskers with a pair of blocks.
Set three was a back-and-forth affair that featured 13 ties and five lead changes. San Diego won the first three rallies of the set to take its first multi-point lead of the match. Four straight Torero errors – including back-to-back Husker blocks – quickly put Nebraska in front 4-3. USD regained the lead at 10-8 after NU committed three consecutive errors. Nebraska fought back to regain the lead at 14-13 before San Diego won the next two rallies to earn a one-point advantage at the media timeout. The teams traded sideouts until back-to-back Ethridge aces put the Huskers back on top, 19-17. A service error and a Kadie Rolfzen roll shot pushed the NU lead to 21-18. A thunderous Robinson kill put Nebraska two points away from taking the match and forced a Torero timeout with the score 23-20. A Husker block gave NU four straight match points and again San Diego spoiled two straight opportunities and forced a Husker timeout. A Haggerty ricochet kill following the timeout gave Haggerty her 11th kill and Nebraska a 25-22 win. NU held San Diego to a .125 attack percentage in the third set, while Kadie Rolfzen put down five kills.

Sussex County is open for business, and to formulate relationships between entrepreneurs and the local community, Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown is hosting the initiative 1 Million Cups every Wednesday.
Sussex County is open for business, and to formulate relationships between entrepreneurs and the local community, Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown is hosting the initiative 1 Million Cups every Wednesday.
The Kansas City-born program was created roughly one year ago by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation as a means to engage, educate and connect local entrepreneurs. Every Wednesday at 9 a.m. two local entrepreneurs will present their business models to interested members of the community over cups of coffee.
Delaware is the 10th region in which the program has launched.
"We started this program with the basic idea that we wanted to get to know our startup community in Kansas City," said Cameron Cushman of the Kauffman Foundation via video chat at the July 17 Delaware launch of 1 Million Cups. "The community kept showing up. We started with 12 people and we got bigger and bigger. Now we have 225 to 250 people every week in Kansas City."
Cushman said the foundation started to realize a demand for 1 Million Cups in other cities, which is not something they had initially intended to create.
"We started to see that people across the country wanted to support their local startups, and you can't support them if you don't know who they are," he said.
Chris Moody, director of Delaware Tech's Corporate and Community Programs Division, said the hope is to create an entrepreneurial-focused culture in Sussex County.
"We wanted entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs to have a place to engage one another," Moody said. "The idea is to create a networking culture."
The first Delaware 1 Million Cups presenters on July 17 were Mike Nally and Alison Blyth. Nally is the founder and owner of Lead Your Way Solutions, a leadership and organizational development consulting company that creates customized programs to meet the goals, strengths, needs and resources of its clients. Blyth is the owner of the restaurant Go Fish, which serves authentic British cuisine, namely the classic fish and chips. Blyth is now exploring the possibility of franchising and recently opened Go Brit! Fish + Chips in Lewes. Blyth said the name "Go Fish" is owned by Long John Silver's.
Moody said about 50 people showed up for the first day of 1 Million Cups.
"I heard a lot of positive feedback," he said. "Several people were congratulating us and telling us how wonderful it is now that we have a centralized place for entrepreneurs to network."
1 Million Cups will be held in conjunction with the monthly event Sussex County Open for Business, a partnership between Delaware Tech and the Sussex Economic Development Action Committee. During Open for Business, which started several years ago, various local agencies are on hand to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with free business development consultations. Among those agencies are the Delaware Economic Development Office, Southern Delaware Tourism and the YWCA Center for Women's Entrepreneurship.
Tricia Matsko, program manager for SEDAC, said pairing 1 Million Cups with the already established Open for Business creates an extra draw for people to attend and get inspired by listening to the presenters tell their stories.
"For those who may be thinking about starting a business but are a little afraid, these events provide valuable resources," Matsko said. "There are 10 different agencies they can sit down with and get a lay of the land regarding Sussex County."
Matsko added the agencies can help potential startups determine what steps they need to take to get off the ground.
"It's a standing date, as Open for Business is held every month," she said. "These different partners come together in the same room for a one-stop workshop, and that's very valuable."
