Tony Gwynn touched a whole city
When his father was going in for his fourth cancer surgery -- this time saying that he didn't think he was going to make it off the operating table -- Greg Klemmer knew the next sentence out of his mouth had to be clutch.
"I told him, 'you're going to go 4 for 4, just like Tony Gwynn,'" Klemmer said. "We had a laugh after that, and he ended up surviving the surgery."
Klemmer wasn't laughing too much on Monday. Like the hundreds of other San Diegans who flocked to Tony Gwynn's statue outside of Petco Park, he was mourning the loss of an idol and icon.
Nobody in baseball could make contact like Gwynn. Monday was proof: He touched a whole city.
The scene by his "Mr. Padre" statue was as poignant as it was somber. Some fans wept. Others told stories. Flowers and memorabilia were laid down incessantly.
And while a couple dozen Chargers showed up, not to mention Mayor Faulconer, the atmosphere was marked by the everyman. You know -- the folks who knew Tony best.
"To me, baseball is about family," said Sheri Van Elsberg, holding a Padres jersey that she bought for her father when she heard of Gwynn's death. "And he was the epitome of a baseball man and a family man."
You certainly can't deny the way Gwynn's brand of baseball affected families.
Mark Castillo showed up with his father, Dan, on Monday to celebrate the man who so frequently occupied their living-room TV. The first thing Mark did when he heard the news was call his pops, and the pair felt compelled to drive to Petco to pay their respects.
"I used to tell my sons, 'you gotta enjoy this guy,' 'Dan said. "He's special."
Ryan Williams never had the opportunity to share a Gwynn memory with his 1-year-old daughter, Presley. He did, however, share many with his mother, Cheryl, and the three of them were all on hand by his statue Monday.
Holding Presley, an admittedly shocked Ryan vowed: "I'm going to pass along all the memories to her."
Some athletes you remember for their sheer mastery of their craft -- men who stomped countless records but warmed few hearts. The tears shed for Tony, however, seemed almost independent of his on-field feats.
Richard Garfinkel, for instance, grew up watching Gwynn. And last year, just outside of Petco, he had the chance to meet his hero and give the "thank you" he'd wanted to give him for years.
He just had to wait a while.
"I had to lay back because he was signing so many autographs for little kids," Garfinkel said. "It was always kids first for him."
Emmanuel Savalo was that kid once. His first sports memory came as a 5-year-old when Gwynn socked a home run against the Yankees in Game One of the 1998 World Series. A couple years later, he met Gwynn at an autograph-session but was too shy to say anything. Tony changed that in a hurry.
"He said 'you can talk to me you know, you don't have to be nervous,' Savalo said. "And then when he found out I played he was like 'oh, you play? You're going to be a pro one day.'"
Reporters always used to talk about how accessible Gwynn was no matter what stage he was at in his career. Fans have similar recollections.
The aforementioned Klemmer was telling anybody who would listen Monday about the pep talk he gave his cancer-ridden father as his fourth operation loomed, but as it turns out, he told Gwynn about it, too.

The world needs to take far better care of its outstanding natural places — those designated as World Heritage sites. That's the message from IUCN experts as they gather for the annual meeting of the World Heritage Convention taking place in St. Petersburg, Russia from 24 June to 6 July.
Too many sites inscribed on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List are left with little resources to manage them properly and conserve the very values they were inscribed for. Many face a barrage of threats, not least from mining and oil exploration.
None of the four natural World Heritage sites that IUCN recommended for inclusion on the Danger List have been added, in what is seen by IUCN experts as a blow for conservation.
New independent review of World Heritage and the extractive industry was published today in response to growing concerns over the rapidly increasing number of World Heritage Sites threatened by planned mining or oil and gas projects.
UNESCO's World Heritage Committee's annual meeting will see a total of 36 new sites considered for inscription as natural and cultural sites, and a series of monitoring reports on the sites already listed.
Not many of us get to turn a childhood passion into a career but IUCN's Leo Niskanen is doing just that—in the heart of East Africa, one of the world's last great bastions of wildlife.
More than a status symbol, World Heritage sites often play a pivotal role in sustaining the livelihoods and cultures of indigenous peoples and local communities who have lived in harmony with their lands and resources for centuries.
Of all natural World Heritage sites, those in West and Central Africa are in the most urgent need of support.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention, a new publication is being released that draws on the views and experiences of young people who live and/or work in World Heritage sites.

I would never get him to agree to pay my trust deed, he resents the fact I have outstanding debt still. If I inform trust deed I no longer reside at property & that my ex partner has been liasing with bank to remortgage only in his name as I contribute nothing at all, for the kids to have somewhere to stay due to joint access agreement, I was advised before signing any deed that my debt wouldn't affect my partner or risk losing family home. I'm utterly terrified of legal action or home needs to be sold to recover £8500 in which is only my own debt. is there any other way to sort my situation eg Lila??

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A former Tampa teacher convicted of having sex with a student is going to remain on probation for now.
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday turned down a request from Debra LaFave to let her off probation while the court considers taking up her case.
A trial judge agreed to take LaFave off probation early, but an appeals court in August reversed that decision. LaFave appealed to the state Supreme Court and asked to remain off probation until a decision was made.
The state Supreme Court turned down LaFave's request. This means she must continue to abide by the conditions of her probation.
LaFave pleaded guilty in 2005 to having sex with a 14-year-old boy. She received no jail time but was scheduled to remain on probation until 2015.

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WKOW) -- For many college students - staying up late and drinking coffee go hand in hand with studying for exams.
More students are taking illegal prescription drugs like Adderall, to help them hit the books.
Fox 47 News followed up with the dean at Edgewood College who pledged in a December newscast to stop it from happening in her school.
She kept that promise. Starting first with the leaders of the school, and student athletes.
"It's not really a secret it happens in college a lot of people use it as a study tool to cram late at night," said Jake Zadra, Edgewood College student athlete
"There are kids always cramming always people taking Adderall..they think cramming the day before or the day of the exam helps," said Laura Sweeney, Edgewood College student athlete.
Sophomores Jake Zadra and Laura Sweeney are star athletes at Edgewood College.
The science majors know how to stay on the top of their game in class, without having to take drugs like Adderall.
"It's stressed we don't take those so we don't test positive and put our whole team in jeopardy of losing championships or anything," said Sweeney.
"It's more of what I don't do I don't take Adderall I like to lead by example," said Zadra.
Not all students think like Jake and Laura.
"They say oh its no big deal its just one pill its just going to help me focus," said Maggie Balistreri-Clarke, Edgewood College Dean.
Balistreri-Clarke and her staff are starting with athletes, who are required to share their medical history with the school, to teach other students why taking Adderall to study is wrong.
"A lot of kids can look up to us as role models so we can be above the influence and not take those kinds of drugs," said Sweeney.
The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reports about 1 in 5 students take illegal drugs like Adderall study, the dean is calling on nursing students to study Adderall abuse on campus as a class.
"Just get a sense of how far how widespread is the abuse and helping students understand why this is an important thing to do is going to be part of the project," said Balistreri-Clarke.
Students will pass out questionnaires and put up posters about the consequences of taking the drug, which include expulsion.
"I think we need to do a lot of education to help students understand what some of the issues are," said Balistreri-Clarke.
Adderall is used to treat attention deficit disorders. About 90% of the drug is made of dextroamphetamine, or speed. If taken wrong, the drug is not only addicting, it can also cause heart problems, or even death.
"They first have to recognize something as a problem and so if nothing is said they say oh its no big deal," said Balistreri-Clarke.
As for Jake and Laura, they've found a better way to hit the books.
"I try to study a little bit each night," said Jake Zadra.
"Retaining that information so you don't have to cram," said Laura Sweeney.
We also reached out to UW-Madison. For the third time in a row - refused to go on camera.
But the dean of students e-mailed me back last month.
Saying although it's not cheating, it's against school rules to take prescription drugs illegally at UW.
It is a crime to take Adderall without a prescription.
If you're caught selling the drug - you could face a maximum of 15 years behind bars.

Everyone hates tax time, but it's one of those necessary evils that all citizens must deal with. Fortunately, the modern age has given us a number of tools to assist during this invasive process. These tools range from software to help individuals calculate their own taxes to applications written for use on smartphones and other portable devices. (From community-based services to free software, there are many free resources to help with your taxes. See 6 Sources For Free Tax Help.)
Turbo Tax
One of the most popular programs is TurboTax, made by Intuit. Turbo Tax offers an online version and a desktop version, where the software is downloaded to your computer or a CD is purchased at the store.
Turbo Tax online and Turbo Tax Desktop/CD come in four different versions – Basic, Deluxe, Premier and Home & Business, with the desktop/CD versions priced significantly higher:
|Home & Business
While many may jump at the lower-priced products, there are significant differences between the two. Turbo Tax Desktop comes with one state download for each federal return, while the online charges $36.95 for each state return. (A few tax credits can greatly increase the amount of money you get back on your return. Find out how in Give Your Taxes Some Credit.)
H&R Block
This company makes another popular offering in the do-it-yourself tax space, and it also has online and desktop versions at various prices:
|Best of Both
Like Turbo Tax, H&R Block charges extra for each state return for all of its online versions. The Deluxe and Premium Desktop versions include a free state return, although the Deluxe Desktop can be purchased without the state return for $29.95.
The H&R Block Best of Both online version is intriguing for those with a complicated tax situation. The Best of Both version allows individuals to calculate their own taxes, using every tool that the program offers in the premium version, along with a review and consultation by an H&R Block tax professional.
The H&R Block desktop versions were formerly branded under the TaxCut name and come in Basic, Deluxe and Premium versions.
What Do You Get?
The Basic editions of both Turbo Tax and H&R Block in the online or desktop versions are aptly named. If you have a complex tax situation with multiple income sources and lots of deductions, these are not for you. (If you're a homeowner, deducting mortgage interest is one item you'll want to understand and use on your tax return. For details, see The Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction.)
One decision you must make is whether to use the online or desktop versions of popular software packages. Each has advantages and disadvantages that you should be aware of before purchasing. The biggest issue I have with the online version is security. Since the software is not downloaded to your computer, all your information resides on the server at whatever company you choose, including your Social Security number and salary information. Certainly these companies spend millions to keep this data secure, but it seems that every other day some type of security breach is disclosed.
Determine Your Needs Before Buying
The amount of features and choices can be daunting to the average taxpayer, so here's some advice. Don't rush out and buy the most expensive version under the belief that this will guarantee the best possible performance for you. Decide what you need first, and then match it with the features offered.
Are you a recent college graduate with only one W-2 form, living in an apartment and with no unearned income? Then the basic version is plenty, and anything else just represents expensive bells and whistles.
Are you self-employed, own two homes and have an investment portfolio full of stocks and bonds? Then almost certainly you will need the higher-level Deluxe or Premium versions.
H&R Block also has an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch called Tax Answers. The application allows you to find an H&R Block office, browse a tax glossary, participate in a tax quiz or ask an H&R Block tax professional to answer a question.
Turbo Tax has its own application for the iPhone and iPod Touch called TaxCaster Mobile. This application allows taxpayers to estimate what their tax refund will be based on the information entered in.
Another cool application for the iPhone and iPod Touch is called Tax Tracker. This application allows the user to keep track of business expenses in real time so you can make the proper business deductions at tax time. Users can take photos of receipts and export them to Excel. Keep track of mileage used for business purposes as well.
Everyone knows that personal taxes are due April 15, but when are quarterly payroll taxes or partnership returns due? Get the iTaxMama application and keep track of the multiple due dates for various tax forms.
The Bottom Line
Tax time is painful, but especially so for those who choose the do-it-yourself route rather than handing the job over to a professional. Investigate these software programs and applications to help you prepare and get through tax season with as little discomfort as possible.
Don't miss out on tax benefits and significant savings this year! Our Income Tax Guide has everything you ever wanted to know about taxes but were afraid to ask.

Kicking off the 10th anniversary of Fall for Dance, two singular stars shone the brightest. Gabriel Misse and Sara Mearns come from different worlds — tango and ballet — but on Wednesday night, you couldn't take your eyes off either one.
Misse's "Esencia de Tango" had a flimsy premise about the Argentine dance's history that was mostly an excuse to show off his fancy footwork. He and his partner Analia Centurion whirred on their toes and spun round, legs slicing in between one another like the blur of a sewing machine.
Misse also did rapid-fire flamenco stamps, and even cut a rug to Elvis'

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WUSA) -- An 18-year-old male drowned in the Rappahannock River Tuesday night while playing with friends, say Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office authorities.
Deputies arrived on Riverside Drive in Fredericksburg at 9:40 p.m. after the 18-year-old's friends called 911. Witnesses told deputies that six friends were jumping off of a rock into the river on the Fredericksburg side of the river. The friends stated that they had jumped into the river once while 18-year-old Brandon Wichert stayed on the rock. When the friends turned to talk to Wichert they noticed that he was no longer on the rock. The friends began looking for the him along the shore line and the main road when they called 9-1-1.
Stafford County, Fredericksburg City and the Virginia State Police crews searched for Wichert. Divers found Wichert's body in the area where he was last seen in about 8 feet of water.

Not good
This review is from: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530c 336633U 15.6" LED Notebook - Intel - Core i3 i3-2328M 2.2GHz - Black Textured
Pros: Can't find any.
Cons: Just not a good laptop for its price range.
Other Thoughts: The company i work for recently got a big batch of these, and while preparing the corporate image, i was very disappointed by how poor it's performance is with a fresh Win 7 install. Adding more RAM didn't help, the 5400 rpm hard drive is just not adequate, and i have my doubts about everything else hardware. If just feels like old parts inside a new shell.

Update to my review
This review is from: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530c 336633U 15.6" LED Notebook - Intel - Core i3 i3-2328M 2.2GHz - Black Textured
Pros: Faster than my old computer. Keys. Easy setup. Relatively lightweight. Boots up quickly. Energy Star certified.
Cons: Black matte finish shows fingerprints like if you just used hand moisturizer. Touchpad sometimes has a mind of its own. Lenovo Solution Center is somewhat annoying - it usually indicates I have messages but when I go in to check them it shows there are 0 messages.

Don't like touchpad
This review is from: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530c 336633U 15.6" LED Notebook - Intel - Core i3 i3-2328M 2.2GHz - Black Textured
Pros: Faster than my old laptop
Cons: touchpad, keyboard
Other Thoughts: Set up was easy. Connected to my WiFi easily. But I really dislike the keyboard and touchpad. The touchpad buttons are on top, most are under the touchpad and it will take me awhile to get used to it. It also isn't as sensitive as my old Dell so I struggle with getting the pointer where I want it. I may end up going with a mouse to avoid using the touchpad. The touchpad is also not centered - it is off the left I assume to help you avoid touching it when you type because the numeric keyboard takes space to the right. I didn't think of this - I thought I really wanted a numeric key pad but I find my fingers are off by a key because it is off set. Also I seem to have to push the NUMLOCK button every time after I reboot in order to use it. I probably would not buy it again and would choose a laptop without a numeric key pad if I did it over. I don't use it enough to warrant the hassle with the offset keyboard and touch pad.

Lisa Holland's attorney has withdrawn a contempt of court motion filed against Ingham County's Chief Medical Examiner Dean Sienko and Sparrow's Medical Director of Forensic Pathology Joyce DeJong.
At Tim and Lisa Holland's preliminary hearing Wednesday, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina demanded the pair come to court Thursday. Aquilina was concerned the two crossed the line when talking about Ricky Holland's autopsy at a news conference Tuesday.
Sienko and DeJong appeared in court with their lawyers Thursday. Their lawyers defended their comments at the news conference saying the court order to not comment on the case did not apply to them and even if it had the two doctors did not disobey the court.
A new court order was issued Thursday, it forbids Sienko and DeJong from publicly discussing details of the Ricky Holland case.

Over the course of their fruitful career, Matchbox Twenty have been unfairly maligned. It's easy to see why they were the target of a great deal of critical scorn when their breakthrough album Yourself or Someone Like You first hit the streets in 1996, as that album took the dynamics of alternative rock and smoothed out the edges to create a radio-ready version of post-grunge. In a world of Metallicas, they were Bon Jovi. But there are a few things you must remember: Bon Jovi totally rules, several of Matchbox Twenty's songs (including breakout single "Push," the surging "Long Day" and the breezy "3 A.M.") are some of the best radio rock of the past quarter century, Rob Thomas is a super-cool frontman and their sophomore album Mad Season is a stone-cold classic. And on this day in 2000, "Bent" hit the top of the charts for a single week.
Yourself or Someone Like You was such a gigantic hit that it kept the band on the road and making videos for the better part of three years. Along the way, they developed into a killer live act and got together their ideas for Mad Season, which takes the approach of Yourself or Someone Like You and lends it some laser-guided precision. People were starving for new songs, and "Bent" gave them exactly what they wanted: A driving riff, Thomas' pathos and a gigantic singalong chorus. "Bent" took over the radio and paved the way for the rest of the stellar singles from Mad Season (including "If You're Gone" and the title track).

During a recent ceremony, founding president of Green For All Van Jones was honored with USC College's 2nd annual Sustainability Champion Award.
Jones' Oakland-based green jobs advocacy group strives to resolve the ecological crisis while lifting millions from poverty.
The group advocates for local, state and federal commitment to job creation, training and entrepreneurial opportunities in the emerging green economy. Fighting both poverty and pollution, the organization focuses on people from disadvantaged communities.
"Perhaps more than any single individual in the U.S. today, Van has highlighted the linkages between ending poverty and the emergence of a green jobs economy," said Jennifer Wolch, director of the USC Center for Sustainable Cities (CSC), which presents the award and is housed in the College.
Echoing Jones, Wolch said social inequity and environmental destruction are connected economically, politically and morally.
"The solutions for each must, therefore, be one," Wolch said, quoting Jones.
The awards ceremony took place during the center's April 30 conference titled, "Cities and Climate Change," and was sponsored by a grant from HSBC Bank. The all-day event featured policy makers, practitioners, justice advocates and business leaders who discussed how cities can curb climate change.
Generating enormous waste streams and high levels of greenhouse gases, cities are part of the pollution problem, Wolch said. But they can also play a large part in the solution.
Cities can enhance transit, make smarter decisions about where to build, produce more energy efficient buildings and move toward a cleaner industry, to name a few solutions.
Later, Jones accepted his award via video. Jones was unable to attend after President Obama appointed him in March to serve on the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Jones is special advisor for green jobs, enterprise and innovation. Last year, Jones was named a Time magazine 2008 Environmental Hero.
"We don't just have hybrid cars anymore. We have a hybrid movement now," Jones said via video. "People who care about the planet and people who care about poor people are beginning to see that there's one answer to both problems. And that is a green economy."
Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, who succeeded Van Jones as chief executive officer of Green For All, delivered the lunch keynote speech.
"When you organize with one another you create a circle," she said. "How do we slow down the impact of global warming and use that as an opportunity to move people out of poverty, while addressing people of color? The spirit of Green For All recognizes that both struggles are critical."
During the conference, Manuel Pastor, professor of geography and American studies and ethnicity in the College, presented a plaque to Wolch, who on July 1 will begin her new post as Dean of the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley. Inscribed was, "Your leadership has transformed CSC, the University and the City."
Wolch, professor of geography and urban planning, has a "stellar soul," Pastor said, adding:
"She brings to her work and her life a deep moral vision and unwavering commitment to social justice and a new and fully developed vision of sustainability to which many of us aspire."

Mount them higher & angled downward. You avoid livestock and tend to get better/brighter nighttime pics.
I did that on one of them this time. The other is strapped to a rock.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
You're making me squirm in my armchair with those dandy bucks!
It's hard to mount those trail cameras high enough so that a bored horse doesn't nibble on it.
I've put a cpl up using a climbing stand before. I wanted a coverage of my bow stand set-up and the camera actually picked up everything within 30yds.....then I changed locations when nothing close to what I'd shoot came through in over a month.
I'm seeing deer and bulls that a cpl guys are [seeing/getting TC pics] of in NV and it looks like the antlers are coming along quite well.
I heard rumor that quite a few of them were big back in early-mid June.
I can't wait to get a look, 5 more working days and I'm gone for 18. I'll try and get some good pics in my areas so the muzzy and rifle guys can see how growth is going. By looking at IKIC's pics I won't be disappointed.

Team practice days and times are determined by our Legacy Excel coaches availability and are announced after the late registration period. All interested players are encouraged to sign up online before the deadline. There are no player tryouts. Teams will only be formed in each age group if enough players in the age group have registered for the program. Roster sizes are limited at each age group so please register early to insure a roster spot. Rosters are filled on a first come first serve basis. Special player's friend requests will be considered up until the regular registration deadline date as long as players are in the same age group.

Our Legacy Excel program is open to all Boys and Girls in the U6 to U11 age groups that are looking for a competitive atmosphere in which to increase their playing ability. To accomplish this goal, the Legacy Excel program will include a fun and competitive teaching environment based on age an appropriate curriculum and club style of play. The Legacy Excel program will offer players and parents a glimpse at our competitive Legacy program and the professionalism that comes with it. Instruction is based on the Legacy Player/Team development program under our Director of Coaching. Some Legacy Excel teams will play up one age group in a flighted age bracket within our recreational league. When we get enough Legacy Excel registrations in a age group we'll form a division of only Legacy Excel teams who will only play other Legacy Excel teams.
Director of Coaching, Andy Bonchonsky

Original Birth Certificate required and validated (validation through the club is only required once)
Legacy Excel teams will practice (2) two times a week while playing all league games on Saturdays.

All Legacy Excel teams will participate in the Legacy sponsored tournaments noted below.
Legacy Excel game schedules are also included on the Legacy Recreational game schedule. Game schedules can be found on our web site on both the Legacy Excel and Legacy Rec program pages.
Legacy Excel players are placed on Legacy Excel teams with players in their own age group.
Legacy Excel teams are formed or reformed before the start of each Legacy Recreational league season including the Fall, Winter, and Spring. If a team wants to stay together for the next season they can or if they just need a few more players we can add players if they're available.

2012-11-17: Thank you, thank you, thank you to all Startup: NYC supporters, followers, and contributors
We cannot thank you all enough for believing in our mission to bring the entrepreneurial community a new technological platform offering an advice-sharing, educational forum to encourage and inspire our successors and colleagues. We are truly touched by every single piece of positive feedback received, so generously shared with us by Startup: NYC followers.
It's easy to get caught up in your individual business's success, solely focusing on profits or marketplace recognition. What is easily forgotten or overlooked is giving back to the community the same charitable spirit we all received when building our own startups. Aside from the joy felt by contributing to another's success, sharing our career path to others will only lead to a promising future—creating jobs, stimulating the economy, and working towards a prosperous future for all.
Many thanks!
We kindly would like to share a final piece featuring entrepreneurial advice as it relates to the value of communication channels on business success.
How communication channels and support networks can break industry-norms, gain clientele, and change antiquated attitudes for small businesses startup
Through effective communication channels, startups can personally reach out to consumers and begin initiating interest, establishing trust, and potentially securing sales - ultimately leading to referrals. Similarly, as a startup owner, keeping in continual contact with your team of supporters is critical to sustaining success.
Expert Advice – Be courageous
What if your offering is vastly different than your competitors within the same industry? Listen first and foremost to your customer base regarding your product or service. If you are receiving continual waves of positive feedback from customers or prospects and the industry is humming a different tone, it may be necessary to have the courage to ignore your industry's constructive criticism. Startup business owner Zahra Aljabri of Mode-sty, a women's fashion online site suggests, "If you are trying to convince a certain industry to change the accepted way of thinking or of doing things," solicit buyers' opinions regularly and make alterations but merely listen actively to any industry resistance. Zahra also advises, "… [It] can be hard to convince people to change their ways even if the alternative you are proposing is better. So it has been a long trust-building phase where we try to show respect to the industry while trying to gently question the status quo."
Expert Advice – Be humble
Jonas Gam co-founder of the playground technology game Son-X Octavia, shares additional words of wisdom, "Be kind and sincere and you will find help from many people, all the people you need to succeed. And understand when you succeed it was a team effort that got you there, not you alone."
Basically, don't praise yourself for successfully transforming your individual idea into a promising startup gaining community recognition — it took a team effort even if you're the sole employee. It took a collaborative effort of some kind to build your business. Remember to thank your supporters and offer continuously to reciprocate the favor. Finally, once you're convinced you made it and there's nothing stopping your success, repeat your initial steps to building your business. Point being—startups are fragile and without a solid support network, your business could go under easily. Stay in communication with supportive colleagues, mentors, friends, family, and whomever else to sustain any unforeseen obstacles.
2012-11-11: Why small businesses should fall in love with bloggers...
Small businesses, show some love!
Bloggers provide invaluable independent, honest, and consumer-influencing reviews, directly impacting your business's sales activity and brand visibility!
My Personal Assistant agency, PA For A Day, was featured in an AMEX Open Forum last week. The article explores an in-depth insight into the immense benefits bloggers can have on your business, perhaps more effective than highly-trained sales/marketing/and PR consultants. A single blogger positively impacted my business at such a rapid rate that even the shrewdest, hired expert would struggle with to attain a similar result. By offering our PA services gratis for ½ day to a well-respect, highly followed blogger, we were confident that our business's value would be immediately recognizable. We received a glowing review but were stunned with what followed next.
Our subsequent month's sales doubled in the blink of an eye. Also, we learned bloggers are extremely influential in referring their experience with other bloggers on highly visited websites. Why may bloggers' services be more invaluable than hiring a team of A-list marketing & industry experts to increase your business's visibility to the local the community? Number one, hiring a team of experts is an expensive tactic that many small businesses cannot afford in the early, startup phases of building your brand. As proven through multiple studies, internet sales continue to fall short in consumer preference to make in-store purchases (based on the tangible comparison this venue provides.) Yet, consumers'' often conduct product research via the web. Consumers barely take notice to internet ads, instilling zero purchase confidence (as ascertained from statistical findings previously posted on Startup: NYC In The News: http://paforadaycharellstar.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/in-the-news-new-survey-on-consumer-preferences-marketers-ignorances/. A blogger's opinion of your company is such an extremely reliable source that consumers rely when considering alternatives. Bloggers' comments and opinions are independently formulated, and offer personal, honest, and realistic perspectives on how on track your business is on providing the community with unique and beneficial services.

2012-11-08: In the News: NYC Small Business Owners Weigh in on Revamping Disaster Recovery Plans
An In-Depth Perspective Analyzing NYC Small Business Disaster Recovery Plans - Does gender play a role when devising or revising emergency response procedures?
Huff Post Women's section featured a blog recounting personal stories, successes, and improvement areas realized from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Women-led small business owners shared their experiences weathering the treacherous storm and recounted the direct impact the disaster had on efforts to keep their small businesses operational. Ideas were also shared on how to modify disaster recovery plans by analyzing the unexpected challenges that arose. The blog truly touched me as a fellow small business owner. I am inspired to make similar changes and want to further explore how my peers devise their company's contingency plans based upon findings weathering former and recent tragedies.
Sometimes conducting business in the hustle and bustle of NYC can lead us to get confused or misguided on how to prioritize recovery initiatives during and after disasters. How many small business owners neglect to implement realistic measures that will most effectively keep our businesses operational? Do we focus primarily on how to fast we can get the wheels in motion and return to business as usual?
One priority top on the list should be reaching out to our customers who may be critically impacted with interruptions in service. Before filling and shipping pre-orders or rescheduling service-based businesses client appointments, reach out to them personally and see if the storm altered their priorities. The best service we can provide is remaining flexible and reactive to our clients' needs, not independently devising strategies to fill orders that may be of non-importance (blindly assuming we are appearing reliable).
Huff Post's blog shared women-owned business leaders' personal struggles during the storm to keep providing their clients' critical services. They also shared ways they intend to better plan for future disasters or emergencies. One small business owner already implemented changes to their facility to make it a safe zone for affected employees.
These women owners all use an emotional and empathetic sharing their experiences. Reading a Forbes article written by a male NYC small business owner on the identical topic showed immense differences. He used a straight-forward, hard-nosed, quota-driven tone and offered advice for peers to consider during natural disasters.
Below summarizes the women-led business owner's blog entries:
- Disasters create a domino effect–when one vital company/service is nonoperational, a slew of new problems arise. One example depicted the impact daycare closings had on parents' ability to meet daily responsibilities without childcare. If required to continue working, many parents endured the hardship of securing alternate arrangements fast (not mentioning the emotional impact that can likely occur by placing your beloved children in a new, unfamiliar environments. This may impact parents' ability to remain focused and productive at work.) Also, it was discussed how privately-funded childcare facilities (as well as many other organizations) rely solely on parents' tuition payments to remain afloat and stay in business.
- Mental health professionals struggled to care for emotionally distressed patients (fragile from any disruption to their daily schedule revolving around traditional treatment methods). Therapists and physiatrists were forced to rely on non-conventional technological communication channels to care for patients (i.e. Skype, Facetime, texting, emailing). These technologies are often foreign to non-functioning, highly depressive patients, serving as no help during unavoidable devastating events. Patients may be unable to cope this may result in life-threatening situations. Providers also worry for their patients' ability and accessibility refill necessary mood-stabilizing medications anywhere in the city. Some deeply suffering, desperate patients took risky measures and braved the storm to travel to their treatment facilities.
- One inspirational business owner made immediate disaster recovery modifications to their facility to ensure employees can receive all necessities during future disasters. Specifically, this retailer installed a top of the line bathroom addition (including a shower), upgraded the kitchen/break area so their staff can receive nourishment, and generously devoted a space dedicated to employees' children to watch videos and play on-site.
The Opposing Viewpoint
Many highly-respected news sources are busy posting similar advice articles on disaster planning and business recovery tactics. The Forbes advice column I referred to earlier presents staggering differences in opinions on future planning by each of the genders – all successful NYC small business owners.
Below recounts the major points suggested to keep your business operating during a natural disaster as recounted by financial-sector, male small business owner:
- Establish, prepare, and devise contingency plans for conducting business as usual by collaborating with non-impacted subsidiaries. These locations can prepare in advance for emergency situations and be ready to swiftly react. They can reroute all business operating systems through their server so the NYC facility can remain functional. This invaluable advice is pertinent for all small businesses to consider emulating to rest assured our clients will be impacted as little as possible.
- Always keep an updated employee contact sheet to perform phone trees during disasters to ensure your staffs' safety. I would like to embellish and suggest performing "test" phone trees often (timed to measure employee average response time) and use metrics to close gaps in data accuracy.
- Train and practice with personnel emergency exit strategies regularly. This owner admits to neglecting to perform such procedures for years leaving new hires uneducated. Without a repeatedly practiced exit plan executed during non-emergency situations, staff is ill-prepared when the unthinkable occurs. Your team may feel panic, uneasiness, and a loss in company-focus through leaders' lack of emphasis on employee safety. In addition, exit strategies in NYC can complicate matters navigating staff though high-rises to safety and we should account for such roadblocks.
- The author quotes, "Don't scrimp on the IT Manager". IT undoubtedly plays a critical role restoring business systems after disasters; however, the author fails to fully explain the importance of implementing this tactic. He suggests personally screening IT applicants to ensure your hire can perform a variety of restoration responsibilities. Yet, the explanation ends there. What is left unfinished is how are we currently "scrimping" on IT. Should we raise IT salary minimums? Give IT special privileges? I can see the point on some level but feel all staff offer highly specialized, crucial roles. These varying responsibilities are equally critical for your business's ability to operate harmoniously, reaching company goals and ensuring client satisfaction with ease.
- The author also quotes, "People with home computers below 40th street could not use [their home computers] and, because we didn't push laptops on people on Friday before they left for the weekend, we ended up with a handful of unused laptops in a locked, inaccessible building for the best part of the week. What a waste."
(I have to question, what point during the disastrous hurricane tearing NYC apart the "best part of the week".) Offering laptops to employees for home access is highly appropriate and an added benefit to employees who may need to work from home occasionally due to unexpected emergencies. Yet, when your company leader expresses frustration about "wasted" laptops you may question his priorities. Does this have any bearing on the age-old question that males better separate emotion from professional responsibilities or career aspirations? (If so, is a "better" approach?) "Pushing" laptops on your team may decrease staff productivity if they feel you have no concern for their safety.
- Again, the author structures this next discussion topic with a frustrated tone. He recounts the aggravation incurred spending days tracking down the last of available hotel rooms in NYC. He suggests that we "put [our] money where [our] mouth is" and take the gamble and begrudgingly pay overpriced rates that require upfront payments. In the end; however, he was pleased with his decision. He offered rooms free to staff suffering the most destruction with nonfunctional safe zones to continue working. Others were encouraged to arrive daily at the hotel, now serving as his organization's contingency site. Personnel were able to connect with teammates and have immediate, uninterrupted access to the company's server via the hotel's WI-FI capabilities. I commend him on this creative solution; however, would not position this preface this strategy as a personal inconvenience that resulted in personal gain, but rather a way to maintain a sense of normalcy for staff.
The Author Summarizes the Devastation
"On Monday night, Hurricane Sandy flooded downtown Manhattan up to our lobby doors, shut down our building and server, forced 3 of our team out of their homes, left 15 others without power and trapped one on the 6th floor of his Hoboken apartment building for 2 days. Despite this we managed to keep email running, held daily conference calls with clients, pitched stories and even wrote a pretty detailed overview of the media landscape. So, by rights, I think Cognito held its own during last week's Hurricane."
I am concerned with the oversimplification that a valued teammate was "trapped" for two days and no explanation was mentioned to assist. Instead, this owner boasted about his efforts to carry out his organization's dedication and resiliency to meet customer demand. I would advise this business owner to separate recounting how you successfully met client demand from how you ensured employee safety. This will better demonstrate to the community your organization's well-rounded priorities led by a commendable leader. Many points presented were insightful and could benefit the small business community. However, many points also demonstrated this owner's questionable priorities.
Comparing both the female vs. male perspectives clearly offers diverse opinions on ways to recover from a local disaster. Emotional, insensitive, what have you. Perhaps, combining the beneficial suggestions from both genders opinions to rework your recovery plan will provide the optimal balance. Balancing ways to ensure your business maintains continuous cash flow (which 'pays the bills' and "keeps the lights on'), while also placing a stronger emphasis on employee and community safety and adapting to clients' changing needs will create the ideal disaster recovery plan.
Where do you stand on the issue? Is this simply a gender issue depicting opposing leadership styles or rather a beneficial learning tool that offers diverse viewpoints that can improve your company's disaster/business recovery plan?

2012-10-30: In the News: New Survey on Consumer Preferences & Marketers' Ignorance's
Startups, Stop biting the hand that feeds you by listening to Marketing "Experts"
Forbes reported that Adobe and research firm, Edelman Berland completed a survey polling 1,000 consumers and 250 marketing professionals. The results were surprising, presenting a staggering disconnect between the techniques consumers deem effective versus what marketing consultants are suggesting to businesses. In terms of alluring advertising, 73% of consumers polled want first and foremost to be told a story, lightly peppered product placement. Linking an emotional connection to your brand will connect more with your target audience and create brand recognition.
Online marketing strategies are flooding conference centers featuring marketing experts preaching on best practices for social media impact. But in fact, 66% of consumers report that TV ads are better absorbed and retained than online marketing. Marketers, on the other hand, claim TV advertising is dying faster than newsprint.
Polling study participants on online advertising effectiveness also portrays a large disconnect between actual consumer beliefs compared to marketers' perceptions of misguided consumers preferences. Thirty percent of consumers claim that online advertising is often ignored and rarely influential in their purchase decisions. In contrast, 84% of marketers believe online ads are the sure-fire way to go. Hence, the flood of articles, conferences, and books recently made available permeating the marketplace on social media marketing guess these professionals are too busy capitalizing on the invention of online shopping to turn on the tube and experience how brands are emotionally impacting us.
By far; however, more than half of polled shoppers feel that web banner advertisements are flashy interruptions, all the while 67% of marketers' advise clients to purchase these pricy, ineffective banners.
In closing of Forbes' captivating article, the author astutely recognizes that this poll comprises opinions from only a shred of the marketplace, yet serves as a useful reminder to stop paying overpriced consultants for strategies that are free of cost by soliciting consumer opinions. Consider focus groups, incentives for survey completions, or even hitting the streets to gain shopper insights. Here's a tip for your first question to ask consumers, "How many TV's do you own in your home?" – bet the response is more than the number of computers in households.

2012-10-11: In the News: New iPad App – A Perfect Tool For Small Business Owners
Here's what's hot in tech news today!
Rockmelt, a unique web-browser, introduces a new format available exclusively on the iPad. According to a Forbes article posted this morning, "The new app foregrounds images and media content, in a tile-like, endlessly streaming visual format. The home screen pulls stories from the feeds that users follow, as well as the users' Facebook or Twitter feeds, and streams them as image tiles that click through to the pages of the respective websites." Rockmelt's desktop and iPhone browser currently have similar capabilities to follow streaming feeds but the iPad format is a much more customized experience.
This would potentially be a great tool for startup businesses to utilize in order to simultaneously view their company's social media site's activities and quickly respond to customer/client inquiries. Also, viewing industry-specific breaking news encapsulated on one screen from a variety of sources is a huge timesaver! As the Forbes article also pointed out, "The content is personalized, based on what users interact with most, which makes each person's experience different. People can also click through to the source of the content such as Forbes or Buzzfeed, and see a stream of all the content from that source." This latest technology is something all busy professionals could capitalize on to give them a competitive advantage in their individual professions.

2012-10-08: In the News: Women Entrepreneurs May Want to Consider Cross-Training
Women-run startups have proven successful and statistics show that these ventures are thriving, surviving, and expanding. However, corporations are suddenly lacking the expertise of IT and Engineering professionals, fields currently dominated by males.
Newsday details the impact women's absence from IT and Engineering positions are having by hindering businesses marketing and advertising efforts. Women are primarily the "decision-makers" for consumer spending in US families. Established and newly-created companies are desperately seeking to corner the marketplace by hiring women IT or Engineering professionals to build their e-commerce. Women entering these fields would present a double-threat, already armed with best strategies for targeting fellow women consumers, as well as trained to implement the most competitive technologies.

2012-10-02: To all the ladies, our startups continue to make headlines!
Thank you all for your continued support! I read some interesting articles this week and posted a discussion on LinkedIn about the impact female entrepreneurs are having on an economic revitalization and rebirth. I am attaching it below in case anyone is interested. Please feel free to share your thoughts to the final question on our Startup: NYC Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/startupusa?fref=ts. And move the discussion on to a friend or colleague too:) Thanks and have a nice week!
Business women's emotional tendencies may single-handedly repair our current state of economic turmoil. Why then keep conforming our behaviors to operate in a hard-nose male-run corporate landscape?
Elite Daily posted an article detailing the top five traits of successful female business owners (article at: http://elitedaily.com/elite/2012/traits-successful-business-women/). Most tips analyzed how women operate professionally in a male-dominated corporate landscape. One tip struck my interest; "be able to handle criticism". At first I thought when the author was writing this she must be envisioning a hyper-sensitive women executive bursting out into tears because the boys were picking on her in the weekly board meeting. But as I read on, I found some sound points. Specifically,
"Do not let any criticisms, which you will be sure to receive, get to you. People only criticize when they are threatened. If someone is taking the time to talk about what you're doing, you're doing something right."
No need to point out that business and criticism go together like Louis and Vuitton; yet, seeing in print that men may also bring emotion to the table by feeling threatened by our successes intrigued me.
To elaborate on this thought, I read a vastly different article on female entrepreneurs posted this week. The article, "Women Entrepreneurs Increasingly Part Of Jobs Crisis Solutions" praises female entrepreneurs for our success in stimulating the economy by creating hundreds of thousands new jobs, as well as establishing more viable startups than our male counterparts. Statistics reported in the article show that women pursue startup ventures later in age than men; however, our businesses triumph in tenure and operate much longer than those of male entrepreneurs. A notable and esteemed female CEO is quoted throughout the article and attributes higher longevities of women startups to our more "empathetic" genetic makeup.
The first article instructs women on best practices for masking the big secret that we may in fact be the more emotional gender. Yet, the latter article statistically proving the tremendous impact women-run startups have had on combatting unemployment, foreclosures, and huge drops in consumer spending argues that an empathetic attitude gives us a competitive advantage. It allows us to better understand, react, respond, and endure an ever-changing marketplace. "Guys come up with a solution to get from point A to point B." Women, on the other hand, are in it for the long haul and nurture our startups to go from A to Z. "[We] understand very well the real pain in [our] industries."
I found it so fascinating that one author attributes the success of women-run startups to their ability to remove any trace of emotion from business; yet, the other argues that emotion is the driving force sustaining startups, resulting in a more optimistic and improved economic climate.
What are your thoughts on these opposing positions? Should we alter our genetic characteristics to effectively compete in a man's world or instead–construct a new, shiny glass ceiling for men to battle daily that links business and emotion to corporate growth and longevity?
2012-09-28: Startup: NYC Updates & Other Startup News

2012-09-25: Startup: NYC Update: Motivations, Donations, and More!
Startup: NYC has been gaining viewership and receiving such generous donations from our supporters. Morgan and I are thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce an educational television program that has potential to reach such a large pool of entrepreneurs. We will continually seek ways to connect the startup community so we can all learn from each other's story. This may seem like a counterproductive effort because us small businesses operate in such a 'dog eat dog' competitive landscape; however, where lies the benefit in keeping the learning's and knowledge gained from our successful ventures a secret?
As business owners, we all followed our passion because we believed our offering would undoubtedly add sustained value to society–enriching customers' lives and creating job opportunities to increase spending power (used to buy our products, hopefully). Since no one possesses the exact formula guaranteeing a startup's success, why do we act so Deep Throat about our experiences?
Why not share what has worked for us and help create a more positive, innovative, and prosperous future? Morgan and I are optimistic in this initiative and hope Startup: NYC motivates others to share as well.
Thank you to our supporters and please check out Startup: NYC if you haven't already done so!
2012-09-24: Another Generous Donation!
The donations keep rolling in! Thank you so much for our latest contribution! We are so very thankful!

Two more generous donations have been made to Startup: NYC! Thank you for seeing the show's value and getting us one step closer to a permanent program here on Mobcaster.
2012-09-22: Interesting Startup Advice from TechCrunch
TechCrunch posted an interesting article about successful startup selling strategies. The author's tips and advice target startups selling to other startups. Here's the link if interested: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/21/overcome-these-6-challenges-when-selling-to-startups/
The author's insights are extremely relevant and useful for small business owners, yet he may have been oversimplifying a little when he wrote, "Stay current—have constant communication with [customers] to learn about what's going on with [them] that month, week, or day. Make an effort to anticipate their changing needs and company direction, and be flexible in meeting their needs."
Once your product has been delivered or service completed, correctly ascertaining your customers' ever-changing needs by remaining in "constant communication" with them is more challenging than the author lets on. I agree that staying abreast of technological, financial, and behavioral changes impacting the marketplace is critical to building a flexible and responsive business. Yet, soliciting, receiving, and correctly interpreting feedback from your client base in order to remain flexible and responsive is an enormous challenge. I wish the article would have expanded on the topic and explored solutions.
All in all, however, the article does offer unique suggestions that small business owners should consider. For instance, he advocates spending more time on sales-driven business functions and stop wasting time on 'traditional' business formalities. Something to consider…
Maybe discussing ways to effectively obtain and properly use consumer feedback would be great content for Startup: NYC's next show! If you agree, consider making a small donation or even pass the link on to a friend.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you again for your support!

3 Ways Content Marketing Forces Change
by Adam Kleinberg
A week ago, I spoke with my client Julie Smith, who heads up education marketing at Adobe, at the iMedia Brand Summit in lovely Coronado, California. Our talk focused on three case studies that reflect how content marketing has shifted Adobe's overall approach to marketing.
Traction a finalist in the BIG Star Awards
by Adam Kleinberg
Last night, I attended the gala event for sfBIG, the BIG Star Awards. Traction was nominated for yet another award for our work with Adobe on the "Real or Fake?" campaign.
Case Study: Adobe Real or Fake wins Addy
by Khai Nguyen
Traction has had a long relationship with Adobe and the Education team. Last year, Traction created a social media campaign designed to raise awareness of Creative Cloud and Adobe's student pricing. The program recently won a silver Addy for best Social Media Program.
50 LinkedIn Testimonials
by Adam Kleinberg
We regularly tell our clients that their customers today rely on one another to form opinions and make decisions about brands more than they rely on the brands themselves.
We're no different.
That's why I'm so excited that our clients at Traction have nice things to say about us. So many nice things that between my LinkedIn profile and Traction's, we've got over 50 recommendations from clients, partners and former team members.
I try not to toot our own horn too much on this blog—but figured sharing how others toot our horn is fair game. And since you're here, not on Traction's LinkedIn profile, I thought I'd share a few.
Here are half of them—all from clients (you can view more from partners, former employees, contractors who have worked here and more on my profile):
Adobe introduces Adthenticate
by Adam Kleinberg
Adobe has just introduced a new service called Adthenticate which could become an essential tool in the online marketing toolkit of top interactive agencies across the land.
How does it work?
Facebook uses Adobe as a case study
by Adam Kleinberg
Facebook featured Traction's "Real or Fake?" campaign for Adobe in a case study on their blog. Adobe wanted to sell its Studio MX to college kids. They had a great student rate, but a couple hundred bucks is still a lot of money when you're competing for share of pocket with beer and pizza.

Published June 14, 2012
The Zucker family and Clemson University are filling a gap in the Lowcountry's ability to develop its engineering workforce as the region's manufacturing and technical economy expands.
Today, Anita Zucker and Clemson announced plans for the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center, which will offer advanced degrees in energy systems engineering and will be financed in part by a $5 million gift from the Zucker family. The center will be next to the Clemson University Restoration Institute at the former Navy base.
"Today we will be celebrating education at an extraordinary level," said John Kelly, vice president for economic development at Clemson.
The center will offer master's and doctorate degrees in energy systems engineering, and its graduates will be prepared for jobs in composite materials, energy systems, advanced computing, microscopy, aerospace and other fields.
Zucker, CEO of The InterTech Group, said the center is a first step to providing upper-level engineering education, and she noted The Citadel has worked hard to provide engineering courses for its students at the undergraduate level. Now, Zucker said, those graduates can stay in the Lowcountry to receive advanced engineering degrees, and Clemson will collaborate with The Citadel, the College of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina for the center's needs.
Zucker said the center will also offer K-12 students access to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, education.
"We want to provide access to success," Zucker said. "Education goes a long way toward repairing the world."
Zucker said she hopes the faculty at the center will work with elementary, middle and high school students throughout the Lowcountry to spark their imaginations and teach them about STEM fields.
During the announcement, Kelly echoed Zucker's K-12 focus.
"No one will be too young to be invited into the building," he said, adding he hopes the center will build interest in STEM education.
Clemson President James Barker said the university envisions the education center following the model established by the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research in Greenville. There, Barker said, Clemson established a research park with a foundation in graduate education and created the first doctorate program in automotive engineering. The project also included BMW and other automotive industry partners under the same roof as Clemson students and faculty.
Barker said the education center in the Lowcountry will be the driver for the Clemson University Restoration Institute, where the university and its business partners will test power grids and wind turbines.
Kelly said the center will be home to private businesses and academia, allowing students to interact with engineers from across the world.
The center is expected to cost $20 million, and university officials hope it will be completed in two years. Clemson is receiving proposals from architecture firms and will narrow the list to three or five firms before awarding the project. Kelly said the project is unique because it will reclaim a brownfield, and the center will be built on complex soils. Architects will also account for earthquakes and hurricanes.

I'm kind of getting into belt buckles (not the big gawdy ones) because my company has restricted my dress code so much. They even decide what color shirts and socks we can wear. BUT, three things not restricted are ties, watches and...belts. I've got an ISU watch and tie in ISU colors, and am now looking for a belt buckle (not to be worn all at the same time). All I've found is the DMac twirly bird. I normally would be fine with it, but it's got the blue in it and I just can't stand that. Anyone know any places online for me to look for one?
Just a quick Ebay search:

I love strong color on walls. When it is well done it looks stunning and deceptively easy to accomplish. But remember color theory? Orange and blue directly complement one another. Using large swathes of saturated complements, such as the ones shown in this image, may spell visual calamity.
Today the New York Times' Home and Garden section featured Enid Woodward's 600 square foot studio apartment in Manhattan. This wonderful example shows how bright colors and good design can invigorate a small space.
Woodward worked with Carl D'Aquino and Francine Monaco of D'Aquino Monaco, an architecture and design firm. They gutted the wall between the bedroom and living room as well as the wall in the postage stamp sized kitchen. The blue was inspired from Woodward's connection with Buddhism and with the imagery of the Hindu gods which sometimes feature intense blue as a background. The renovation cost about
$150,000 and took about 18 months from planning to completion. Furnishings added another $15,000.
