Breakthrough for Minden manufacturer
September 16, 2017
A Minden manufacturer's new proprietary trigger system brings assault rifles as close to full automatic as they can legally get for gun enthusiasts and hobbyists.
That's a big deal in the weapons world, and for Franklin Armory, the development has the potential to drive unprecedented growth for the company.
Fully automatic assault rifles, which fire continuously with a single pull (and hold) of the trigger, are illegal. Franklin Armory's new trigger system is a big step up from semi-automatic, which fires a single round per pull of the trigger. The new trigger, in effect, fires two rounds every time the trigger is squeezed: one round at the pull and one at the release.
Franklin Armory is in the process of finalizing patents for its trigger system that features a three-position switch: safe, semi-automatic, and a new "binary" mode, which fires rounds when the trigger is both pulled and released. The second shot can be canceled by modulating the selector back to semi-automatic.
"In engineering it, we knew we had to do two things," said President Jay Jacobson. "We had to make it selectable so you had traditional semi-auto, but you also had a different type of semi-auto, which we call 'binary' mode. We created a whole new class of trigger system.
"We were the first ones to bring it to market, and the first ones to apply for patents on the selector technology," Jacobson added.

The trigger fits onto AR-15 assault rifles, and Franklin Armory expects to launch the new system for other models of assault weaponry as well. Jacobson said there also is interest in the binary trigger system from the U.S. Department of Defense that could lead to further growth.
Franklin Armory first set up shop in Minden in 2013 to establish a toehold in northern Nevada because of California's onerous and restrictive regulations regarding assault rifles. Over the past few years, though, the company has found that doing business in the Silver State trumps its larger neighbor to the west.
Jacobson cited lower costs for industrial real estate, energy and housing, as well as a workforce that understands and appreciates firearms, as primary factors that have helped the company significantly expand its foothold in northern Nevada.
Franklin Armory recently leased 9,800 square feet of additional industrial space in Minden and is in the process of building out new assembly and manufacturing lines. The company will lease the space for two years with the option to buy the property. Franklin Armory originally leased 3,800 square feet when it first landed in Minden, but that space has long been insufficient to house its workforce and operations in the region.
The company currently employs 15 people, and that could double once the new facility is up and running by the end of this year. Franklin Armory also operates a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Morgan Hill, Calif., south of San Jose.
While the new trigger system is pushing a lot of the company's growth, operating in a pro-gun state also is helping Franklin Armory flourish. Developing the new assault rifle trigger technology in California would be illegal, Jacobson noted.
"California is a lot more restrictive," he said. "Here, we have the freedom to operate. We are still held to high accountability — every firearm we make must be accounted for — but we have the ability to perform R&D and make machine guns. In California that is completely off the table."
Franklin Armory seeks a senior-level CNC (computer numerical controlled) shop manager to operate the new machinery in its expanded facility. A background in firearms production is helpful but not totally necessary, Jacobson noted.
"It's a pillar position within this organization," he said. "I am just waiting for the right candidate. I have a lot of the machinery in place; it just needs to be finalized by that individual to conduct the workflow accordingly. They must have the ability to organize workflow and programs, manage personnel, and figure out the material requirements.
"Having the machinery set up, with a qualified individual managing it and a team of people, we will be able to turn things around quicker," he added.
Franklin Armory's primary markets are dealers and distributors throughout the United States (all firearms sales must go through a local Federal Firearms Licensed dealer). The company earlier this year received sales tax and business tax abatements from the Governor's Office of Economic Development to purchase the new manufacturing equipment that it is setting up in the additional commercial space in Minden.
"The governor's office was very gracious in working with us so we could grow in Nevada," Jacobson said. "We have another facility in California, but we prefer to invest here."
Lisa Granahan, economic vitality manager for Douglas County, said advanced manufacturing companies such as Franklin Armory help diversify and stabilize the county's workforce and economy.
"One of the county's economic vitality projects is to accelerate advanced manufacturing — we want this sector to grow," Granahan said. "We have a team that does outreach to local manufacturing businesses to assist with supply chain, workforce and infrastructure issues, and we partner with the Northern Nevada Development Authority to assist with state incentives, marketing and attraction. The county is very optimistic about the growth of future manufacturing jobs as many of our existing manufacturers, like Franklin Armory, are indicating plans for future expansion."
Although Franklin Armory still manufactures most of its parts in California and assembles weaponry in northern Nevada, things continue to shift in favor of the Silver State, Jacobson said, mainly because of California's stiff regulations regarding assault rifles.
"This is a fabulous area to grow in with a great body of veterans to draw qualified personnel from," he said. "The county government is very pro-business, not just with Franklin Armory but everybody else.
"We have great products we are bringing to market. There is a good workforce here, and the cost of living is great. It is a fabulous place for work, recreation and family."

Reported in Scientific American, this Week in World War I: January 1, 1916
As 1916 opened, there was some rare positive news from the war in Europe (although it should be noted that bad news rarely came through the military censors intact). The new French helmet, named after Intendant-General August-Louis Adrian, had been issued to infantry starting in 1915. The article on New Year's Day of 1916 reported that the protective headgear had shown itself to be a life-saver in the trenches.
It seems obvious now that helmets are protective, but before their reintroduction in World War I, the increasing power of rifle bullets since the 18th century meant that any kind of body armor, in order to protect the wearer, had to be excessively heavy. Yet in 1914, as opposing armies had dug themselves into the ground behind fields of barbed wire, shellfire had become more intense, causing a larger percentage of casualties. The new helmet, made of mild steel, was not proof against rifle or machine-gun fire, but it reduced the danger from shell splinters and shrapnel bullets. The overburdened infantrymen, struggling through muddy trenches, were not thrilled with the idea of carrying something else that could not protect them against direct fire, and even in 1916 the article pointed out that the helmet "at first the men complained was rather heavy to wear." But after over two million helmets had been made and distributed to front-line troops, it showed itself to be useful in reducing the number and severity of injuries to the head and neck.
The images of these helmets were perhaps all the average infantryman needed to see to understand the benefits of the "tin hat": it was very easy to imagine the kinds of wounds that would have been inflicted had not the helmet been between projectile and skull.
By the end of the war, all of the armed forces were issuing some kind of steel helmet to their front-line troops.

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman.
Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout.
One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States.
Charles Bronson played Buffalo Bill in "The White Buffalo" – a film that took a rather surrealist view on the life of the legendary hunter.
Video comes courtesy of YouTube:
That was Hollywood – to the extreme.
Here's what history has to tell us:
Cody's Early Life
William Frederick Cody was born on February 26, 1846 on a farm just outside of Le Claire, Iowa. He was baptized as William Cody in the Dixie Union Chapel in Peel County (present-day Peel Region), Ontario, Canada in 1847, not far from his family's farm.
His parents Isaac and Mary Cody were Canadians. The Chapel was built with Cody money and the land was donated by Philip Cody of Toronto Township.
The Cody family were originally Quakers, and opposed to slavery. They had emigrated from the United States with other Quaker families from Vermont, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, shortly before or after the Revolutionary War (when slavery was still legal in those states), to buy land and farm in York, Peel, and Ontario counties.
In 1853, Isaac Cody sold his land in rural Scott County, Iowa for $2000, and he and his family moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory.
Invited to speak at Rively's store, a local trading post where pro-slavery men often held meetings, Cody's father gave an antislavery speech that angered the crowd – which threatened to kill him if he didn't step down. One man in the crowd attempted to make good on the threat, jumping up and stabbing the elder Cody twice with a bowie knife.
Cody's father would have died from his wounds had it not been for Rively, the store's owner, who rushed him to safety. Isaac Cody never fully recovered from his injuries.
In Kansas, the family was frequently persecuted by pro-slavery supporters, forcing Cody's father to spend much of his time away from home.
On one occasion, his enemies learned of a planned visit to his family, and plotted to kill him on the way. The young Cody – despite his youth and the fact that he was ill – rode 30 miles (48 km) to warn his father.
Cody's father went to Cleveland, Ohio to organize a colony of thirty families to bring back to Kansas. During his return trip he caught a cold which, compounded by the lingering effects of his stabbing and complications from kidney disease, led to Isaac Cody's death in April, 1857.
The Young Professional
After the father's death, the Cody family suffered financially.
At age 11, Bill Cody took a job with a freight carrier as a "boy extra." He would ride up and down the length of a wagon train, and deliver messages to the drivers and workmen.
Next, he joined Johnston's Army as an unofficial member of the scouts assigned to guide the Army to Utah to put down a rumored rebellion by the Mormon population of Salt Lake City.
According to Cody's account in "Buffalo Bill's Own Story", the Utah War was where he first began his career as an "Indian fighter":
"Presently the moon rose, dead ahead of me; and painted boldly across its face was the figure of an Indian. He wore this war-bonnet of the Sioux, at his shoulder was a rifle pointed at someone in the river-bottom 30 feet (9 m) below; in another second he would drop one of my friends. I raised my old muzzle-loader and fired. The figure collapsed, tumbled down the bank and landed with a splash in the water. 'What is it?' called McCarthy, as he hurried back. 'It's over there in the water.' 'Hi!' he cried. 'Little Billy's killed an Indian all by himself!' So began my career as an Indian fighter".
At the age of 14, Cody was struck by gold fever, but on his way to the gold fields, he met an agent for the Pony Express. He signed with them, and after building several stations and corrals, Cody was given a job as a rider, which he kept until he was called home to his sick mother's bedside.
Military Service
After his mother recovered, Cody wished to enlist as a soldier, but was refused because of his age.
He began working with a United States freight caravan which delivered supplies to Fort Laramie.
In 1863 he enlisted as a teamster with the rank of Private in Company H, 7th Kansas Cavalry and served until discharged in 1865.
The next year Cody married Louisa Frederici, and they had four children together. Two died young in Rochester, NY. They and a third child are buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, in the City of Rochester.
From 1868 until 1872, Cody was employed as a scout by the United States Army. Part of the time he scouted for Indians. At other times, he hunted and killed bison to supply the Army and the Kansas Pacific Railroad.
In January 1872, Cody was a scout for Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia's highly publicized royal hunt.
The Nickname
Cody got his nickname after the American Civil War when he had a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat.
Cody earned the monicker by killing 4,280 American bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eighteen months, (1867–1868).
Cody and William Comstock competed in a buffalo-shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name – which Cody won by killing 68 bison to Comstock's 48.
He was known as "Buffalo Bill", from that point on.
Medal of Honor
In 1872, Cody was awarded a Medal of Honor for "gallantry in action" while serving as a civilian scout for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.
In 1917, the U.S. Army – after Congress revised the standards for award of the medal – removed from the rolls 911 medals previously awarded either to civilians, or for actions that would not warrant a Medal of Honor under the new higher standards. Among those revoked was Cody's.
In 1977, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker's medal was restored, and other reviews began. Cody's medal – along with those given to four other civilian scouts – was re-instated on June 12, 1989.
Show Business
In December 1872, Cody traveled to Chicago to make his stage debut with friend Texas Jack Omohundro in "The Scouts of the Prairie", one of the original Wild West shows produced by Ned Buntline.
During the 1873–1874 season, Cody and Omohundro invited their friend James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok to join them in a new play called "Scouts of the Plains".
The troupe toured for ten years. Cody's part typically included an 1876 incident at the Warbonnet Creek, where he claimed to have scalped a Cheyenne warrior.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West
In 1883, in the area of North Platte, Nebraska, Cody founded "Buffalo Bill's Wild West", a circus-like attraction that toured annually. (Despite popular misconception, the word "show" was not a part of the title.)
With his show, Cody traveled throughout the United States and Europe, and made many contacts. He stayed, for instance, in Garden City, Kansas, in the presidential suite of the former Windsor Hotel. He was befriended by the mayor and state representative, a frontier scout, rancher, and hunter named Charles "Buffalo" Jones.
In 1893, Cody changed the title to "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World".
The show began with a parade on horseback, with participants from horse-culture groups that included US and other military, American Indians, and performers from all over the world in their best attire. Turks, Gauchos, Arabs, Mongols and Georgians, displayed their distinctive horses and colorful costumes.
Visitors would see main events, feats of skill, staged races, and sideshows. Many historical western figures participated in the show. For example, Sitting Bull appeared with a band of 20 of his braves.
Cody's headline performers were well known in their own right. People such as Annie Oakley and her husband Frank Butler did sharp shooting, together with the likes of Gabriel Dumont.
Performers re-enacted the riding of the Pony Express, Indian attacks on wagon trains, and stagecoach robberies.
The finale was typically a portrayal of an Indian attack on a settler's cabin. Cody would ride in with an entourage of cowboys to defend a settler and his family.
The show influenced many 20th-century portrayals of "the West" in cinema and literature.
With his profits, Cody purchased a 4,000-acre (16 km2) ranch near North Platte, Nebraska, in 1886. Scout's Rest Ranch included an eighteen-room mansion and a large barn for winter storage of the show's livestock.
The Grand Tour
In 1887, Cody took the show to Great Britain in celebration of the Jubilee year of Queen Victoria. It played in London before going on to Birmingham and Salford near Manchester, where it stayed for five months.
In 1889, the show toured Europe, and in 1890 Cody met Pope Leo XIII.
Cody set up an independent exhibition near the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, which greatly contributed to his popularity. It vexed the promoters of the fair, who had first rejected his request to participate.
In 1908, Pawnee Bill and Buffalo Bill joined forces and created the "Two Bills" show. That show was foreclosed on when it was playing in Denver, Colorado.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West toured Europe eight times, the first four tours between 1887 and 1892, and the last four from 1902 to 1906.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West was enormously successful in Europe, making Buffalo Bill an international celebrity and an American icon.
The author Mark Twain commented, "…It is often said on the other side of the water that none of the exhibitions which we send to England are purely and distinctly American. If you will take the Wild West show over there you can remove that reproach."
The Wild West brought an exotic foreign world to life for its European audiences, allowing a last glimpse at the fading American frontier.
Cody, Wyoming
In 1895, Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the seat of Park County in northwestern Wyoming. The Old Trail Town museum is at the center of the community, and honors the traditions of Western life. Cody first passed through the region in the 1870s, and was greatly impressed by the development potential of the site, and its proximity to Yellowstone Park.
When he returned in the mid-1890s to start a town, he brought with him associates for whom streets were named: Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salsbury. The town was incorporated in 1901.
In November 1902, Cody opened the Irma Hotel, which he named after his daughter. He envisioned a growing number of tourists coming to Cody via the recently opened Burlington rail line. He expected that they would proceed up the Cody Road along the North Fork of the Shoshone River to visit Yellowstone Park.
To accommodate travelers, Cody completed construction of the Wapiti Inn and Pahaska Tepee in 1905 along the Cody Road, with the assistance of artist and rancher Abraham Archibald Anderson.
Cody also established the TE Ranch, located on the South Fork of the Shoshone River about thirty-five miles from Cody. When he acquired the TE property, he sent cattle from Nebraska and South Dakota. His new herd carried the TE brand.
Eventually Cody held around 8,000 acres (32 km²) of private land for grazing operations and ran about 1,000 head of cattle. He also operated a dude ranch, pack horse camping trips, and big game hunting business at and from the TE Ranch. In his spacious ranch house, he entertained notable guests from Europe and America.
The Shoshone Project
Wyoming's resources of coal, oil and natural gas were beginning to be exploited toward the end of Cody's life.
Even the Shoshone River was dammed for hydroelectric power, as well as for irrigation.
In 1897 and 1899 Cody and his associates acquired from the State of Wyoming the right to take water from the Shoshone River to irrigate about 169,000 acres (680 km2) of land in the Big Horn Basin. They began developing a canal to carry water diverted from the river, but their plans did not include a water storage reservoir.
Cody and his associates were unable to raise sufficient capital to complete their plan.
Early in 1903 they joined with the Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners in urging the federal government to step in and help with irrigation development in the valley.
The Shoshone Project became one of the first federal water development projects undertaken by the newly formed Reclamation Service – later to become known as the Bureau of Reclamation. After Reclamation took over the project in 1903, investigating engineers recommended constructing a dam on the Shoshone River in the canyon west of Cody.
Construction of the Shoshone Dam started in 1905, a year after the Shoshone Project was authorized. When it was completed in 1910, it was the tallest dam in the world.
Almost three decades after its construction, the name of the dam and reservoir was changed to Buffalo Bill Dam by an act of Congress, to honor Cody.
The Death of Buffalo Bill
Cody died of kidney failure on January 10, 1917, surrounded by family and friends at his sister's house in Denver.
Cody was baptized into the Catholic Church the day before his death by Father Christopher Walsh of the Denver Cathedral.
Cody was also active in the concordant bodies of Freemasonry, having been initiated in Platte Valley Lodge No. 32, North Platte, Nebraska, on March 5, 1870.
He became a Knight Templar in 1889 and received his 32 degree in Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in 1894.
He received a full Masonic funeral.
Upon the news of Cody's death, tributes were made by King George V of the United Kingdom, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Imperial Germany, and President Woodrow Wilson.
His funeral was in Denver at the Elks Lodge Hall.
The Wyoming governor John B. Kendrick, a friend of Cody's, led the funeral procession.
Cody's grave lies atop Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado.
Since his death, Buffalo Bill has been honored by two U.S. postage stamps. One was a 15¢ Great Americans series postage stamp.
Our series continues – but this story ends, here.
I hope you'll join me, for our next tale.
Till then.

Over the weekend we heard the very sad news that Andrew Lyle, one of our long-standing volunteers on the Boxford project, passed away on Saturday morning. Matt Nichol, who worked with Andrew on the project, has these words to say about him.
Andrew Lyle was an incredibly hard working, funny and passionate local Boxford guy whose contribution to the Boxford dig over the years was immense. He was a great team member -always upbeat, always keen to muck in with the heavy excavation, and on quite a few occasions over years I was invited around to his house after a day's digging for drinks and a meal with he and his wife Tina.
During the very first season in 2013, after the excavation had ended, I was invited around to Andrew's house so I could complete all site paperwork with another volunteer who had kindly offered to help; he went on to study a degree in archaeology (and became a military officer in the TA). Both volunteers influenced that season of excavation, but Andrew would take this one step further – he was a great cook and entertainer. I will never forget that evening especially.
Ever since 2013, Andrew and I had a running joke together – that I would find him a mosaic. But none of us could ever have foreseen this year's findings. Andrew's health was not at all good during this season's work. However, although in great pain and unable to walk properly, on at least four occasions Andrew managed to make it on to site and contribute for a few hours each time. He was one of the first people to reveal the beautiful colours of the mosaic. I am very proud to have been part of such an incredible season alongside all who took part, but to have given Andrew such a fantastic opportunity to reveal the first colours of the mosaic is a moment I can't really put into words. We smiled, hugged, shook hands and joked together about the mosaic's discovery…
Andrew will be greatly missed.

Carol Gollnick has been a 4-H leader for 35 years. If it were possible to clone 4-H leaders, University of Florida extension agent Judith Wakefield says she would clone Gollnick.
"Carol has been a role model not only for her 4-H club members," said Wakefield, "but also for the other 4-H club leaders in Indian River County. She has always been willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed and provide encouragement and ideas for other leaders."
In 1973 Gollnick was not familiar with the 4-H program, but had young twin daughters who were very interested in horses. As it happened, the owners of the stables where their horses were kept happened to be very active in 4-H. Gollnick says the more she learned about the 4-H program, the more she became convinced that it was something she wanted to be associated with.
"4-H seemed like such a great way for a family to work together," said Gollnick. "It also taught these kids great life skills. They learned to work. With all they had to do in 4-H, my kids never had too much time for typical teenage problems."
Gollnick's girls were members only a short time before Gollnick became the assistant club leader for the Indian River County 4-H Horsemasters Club. Three years later, she became 4-H club leader. While the club is primarily a horse club, Gollnick insists that her members participate in other 4-H programs as well.
"We always had a club that was involved," said Gollnick. "From the very beginning we encouraged our horse kids to get involved in judging, hippology, consumer judging, record books, and public speaking. We never said 'this is just a horse club and all you do is ride and show'".
Gollnick believes the skills and abilities that young people learn in 4-H will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Many of Gollnick's former club members thank her for insisting they compete in county or national events because it gave them experience and courage that has helped them in their current careers.
"When our kids have grown they'll call back and say 'you made us do demonstrations and now I'm a great lawyer or teacher because all those times you made us stand up and talk in front of people,'" said Gollnick. "The hands-on learning they do teaches them about teamwork and leadership and participation."
4-H directly impacted both of her daughters' career choices. One of her daughters dreamed of becoming a well-known horse judge and has realized that dream as she travels all over the United States as a well-respected judge in her sport.
Her other daughter shows horses all over the U.S. She has a grandson who manages his parent's forestry business and says many of the skills he gained in 4-H, such as public speaking, gave him the knowledge base he needs to work well with the public and in business.
While Gollnick's club is very large, she still manages to provide meetings that are fun and educational. Every year they plan and hold a Valentine 4-H Horse Show to raise funds for their county, district, state and national activities. Her members have realized a lot of success over the years.
"Vera Beach isn't a very big town yet in our club we've had three Florida State Council Presidents, one Vice-President, and many state demonstration winners. We've had three members that were Florida Horsemen of the year and many more who were runner-ups," said Gollnick. "And this isn't tooting my own horn because it's the members' achievements. What impresses me is what happens when you give these kids information and encouragement. They do something with it."
Gollnick says she can't imagine her life without 4-H. "Involvement with 4-H has given me friends and taken me places I never would have gone otherwise. It's been a family affair and brought me closer to my family. I've known what we were doing is worthwhile and we've enjoyed it together."
Gollnick's dedication goes beyond 4-H. She is very active in her community and is a member of the IRC Association of Educational Office Personnel. She has also worked for the American Cancer Society and educational foundations.

She spokle on September 6 at the Board of Selectmen meeting. The Chairman allowed time allotted to Citizen Input to run over for more than 40 minutes on December 27 and still a few others and she were allowed to speak for a minute which she began by ranting at the Chairman. Then the media portrays it as the Chairman not allowing the "little old lady" to speak and bring mean to her by having te Police Chief cut off the microphone. Channel 25 had her as a guest on their morning program where she spoke again and they portrayed her as a victim while she was saying not so nice things about others including residents in our community who hold different opinions than she. Do your research journalists and be responsible!
"Let Her Speak"
In one of the most contentious moments, Harrington attempted to end public comment, which was originally scheduled for 10 minutes but ran almost an hour.
Helen Merigan, a Central Street resident opposed to the casino, became upset, saying it was her right to speak and eliciting calls from the crowd of "Let her speak!"
Merigan was eventually allowed to speak, but had her microphone cut after she went over her allotted time. She received a loud ovation from crowd.

I decided to start a blog because it seems like every time I make a recipe from one of my many baking books, I forget what I thought of it or what I wanted to change about it.
So, here is the beginning.
The beginning of a recipe journal that will hopefully aid in developing my own recipes and improving others through first person experience. I will also try to post pictures of the baked goodies. This will also give you, the reader, an opportunity to share your comments and your wisdoms of food science or food speciality.
Feel free to comment. Both good and bad reviews and/or advice welcome, especially if you've recreated my posted recipe - *see note below*
Thank you, and Enjoy!
*Special Note*
Some of these recipes may have allergies/allergy ingredients associated with them. Try at your own risk! I am not responsible for anyone getting sick or having an allergic reaction from trying a recipe.

Thought Leadership on Recruiting and Retention presented by Vector Talent Resources.
Let's talk wellness and what it means to the corner office executive. When we think of our health and how we can better it, we often think, "If I could just make time to go to the gym or go on a run, I would feel better." Sadly, these feelings often get pushed aside in the competitive and demanding world we live in, or in the worst cases, we put off going to the doctor to avoid cold realities and simply carry on hoping that someday our lives will slow down, and we can make a change for the better. Unfortunately, the main culprit of our distractions to better health is our jobs. Let's face it, most of us need work to survive and to be fulfilled, and therefore must be employed. The high demands employers often place on employees make it difficult to maintain our health. Continually pushing health aside will eventually result in decreased productivity due to unhealthiness and stress, or turnover due to medical reasons or unhappiness. Overall, ignoring the need for corporate wellness can affect the bottom line of an organization in a big way.
A Healthy Vision
How can organizations help curve this vicious cycle to not only reduce burnout and turnover, but boost productivity and ultimately loyalty? A healthy vision is required, and just like the paradigm described above, the same thought process lurks within the executive ranks resulting in little to no change. A true dedication to the staff and its well-being must start in the corner office. A vision for corporate wellness and healthy returns, physically and monetarily speaking, is imperative for change.
Once a vision and message have been disseminated, employees will rally around the new vision and no longer see it as a chore, but a luxury instead. A well built program changes thought processes and mindsets towards a positive outlook that build healthy habits and results, all while building employee engagement and loyalty. It's every executive's dream come true.
A Unique Approach
Employees are human, and we are all unique with our own needs and processes to meet those needs. While there are certainly health practices that are beneficial for all people, a great wellness program needs to understand its organization's unique needs and curate programs accordingly. This calls for open communication with employees so the program developer can identify what is most important to them. It is key for needs to be recognized rather than assumed, or even the best efforts can fall short. For this reason, it can be of great benefit for companies to turn to health experts for assistance in developing and implementing their plan. Real experts have the ability to bring an objective perspective along with proven theories, methodologies and programming, to combine with the unique knowledge of the company to engage for collaborative success.
Mind over body
While most of us center health ideologies on our physical body, it is equally, if not more important, to focus on the mind. While the implementation of an exercise program is a great start, it is just scratching the surface of what a truly comprehensive wellness plan should include. A great wellness plan addresses and enhances the much-needed understanding and skill building of: food choices and overall health, self-worth and mindfulness, goal setting and time management, stress management and interpersonal communications. These elements, combined with physical programming, enhance participation, creating better results.
The truth is most of us don't realize or don't want to admit how our mental and physical states effect and reflect in our work performance — it's more transparent than we think. With a corporate wellness program that provides the framework for employees to set and meet tangible goals, and remain calm and focused with a clear mind and fit body, an organization can empower its employees to the very best they can by providing direction and coaching along the way. It is really very simple, help your staff be their best selves, and you will get their best work.
Physical – mental
And while every attempt does matter, this effort is not the only aspects of staying healthy. Some try to make time for a quick gym trip or going on a run. The more extreme might even consider a carb-free diet. However, to the truly conscious individual, health is much more than going to the gym or cutting carbs, and should be addressed as such.
Many people have the misconception that practicing good health is something reserved exclusively for the gym or workout days. However, this could not be farther from the truth. A good health plan encompasses all aspects of your life and can be practiced throughout your daily routine — especially during your most vulnerable or stressed moments. For the working majority of us, the office is where we face these moments most often and should be where our health plan begins.

As a Washington State native, I grew up with the fresh seafood and produce native to the area. I look forward to local strawberries in the spring & sweet corn in late summer. As well as fresh caught Dungeness Crab out of Puget Sound and the flavorful beef produced by local farmers. The Northwest offers an abundance of wonderful ingredients to work with.
This site is dedicated to the Food & Wine of the Pacific Northwest. Please join me as I explore all it has to offer!
We pulled some of our best bottles out of the cellar for this event. All the wines had been decanted for 6 hours. We invited six guests, and assigned each guest to a bottle. Starting with wine #1, we asked the assigned person to taste and describe the wine to the group. Then we poured tastes for the remainder of the group and discussed the wine. This format worked well and made for a nice pace in tasting as well. For the tasting we provided a range of appetizers that included lamb popsicles with cherry demi –glace, mushroom and gorgonzola crostini, and smoked oysters. Also, I tried my hand at homemade crackers with wonderful results. I made plain baking soda ones, as well as parmesan and thyme crackers. Additionally, I had done some quick pickled veggies. Butternut squash, beets, and fennel all turned out great. The beets especially were a bit hit! The apps were rounded out with a cheese and meat plate. Whew! Did you get all that? Now on to the wine:
The tasters voted and the Betz was the winner with the Buty coming in a close second. We ended the evening with a scrumptious dinner of T-bone steak cooked over charcoal, creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin, and honey cumin glazed carrots.

Looking for something a little more casual but with the same quality taste? Laredo Pizza Factory is the best pizza in Laredo and surrounding areas. The fried pickles and Buffalo pizza are staples in this town, and a nice change of pace from the usual Tex-Mex outing. If you are feeling extra bold, order the Hawaiian pie to add some sweetness to the savory flavor.
Rumors Country Bar and Patio
9802 McPherson Rd.
After dinner, scoot right down the road to Rumors Country Bar and Patio to get your groove on. Hopefully you brought your cowboy boots, because this honky tonk destination is a town favorite. Grab a "beer-rita," enjoy some live music, and end your night on the right note.

Before I conceive with my second child my husband and I made a little research on the net on how to make a baby boy. Having a girl as our first sibling we wanted a boy to follow to complete the family. Lucky us we found various information on what we are looking for. Let me share some bits of information to those parents who planned the sex of their next born and yet still puzzled on how to materialize it. Personally, this method helped us to succeed with our target gender and hope it will for you.

From its rolling hills, to its well worn winding walking paths, to the many fish filled ponds, Nazareth Campus is a place to relax and find peace.
This beautiful sacred piece of land, about 245 acres, is home to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Standing on the campus one can imagine what it must have looked like in the early 1800s when Mother Catherine Spalding, the Congregation's foundress, arrived on a horse drawn wagon. From the very beginning Nazareth was a place of welcome.
The tradition of offering hospitality and sharing SCN resources continues today. From Nazareth Villages, home to the elderly and disabled, to Saint Joseph Montessori Children's Center, to SCN community gardens, to the walkers and folks fishing, to those making a retreat in search of peace and beauty, the campus always brings joy and comfort to others.
Nazareth Villages, home to over 152 residents, is a prime example of how the Sisters are ever mindful of the needs of the times. What at one time was living and meeting space for students at Nazareth College was transformed into charming affordable housing for the elderly and disabled. A recent editorial in the Kentucky Standard highlighting the 30th anniversary of Nazareth Villages paid tribute to this SCN ministry.
When it became apparent in the late 1960s that Nazareth College would not be able to survive as a separate entity the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth faced the dilemma of how to utilize resources to maximize its mission.
Moth balling facilities such as the nearly new dorm building did not seem like a good long-term answer. A visionary solution slowly evolved that later flowered into the conversion of the dorm into what would become Nazareth Village. It is now known as "Village I" to differentiate it from "Village II" which followed a decade later. The dorm building was perfect for a conversion to small apartments and there was plenty of common space …
Calling this year a celebration of recycling, the editorial goes on to recognize the commitment of the SCNs to be good stewards.
The footprint the Sisters of Charity impart to their home community must be measured by more than bricks and mortar but the operation of Nazareth Villages I and II is certainly one of the more tangible ways the order has impacted the quality of life for Bardstown and Nelson County. It is a legacy well worth celebrating.
Nazareth Villages has won numerous awards for outreach efforts and is just one of many examples of how SCNs find creative ways to transform ministries, changing with the times so that the most critical needs are addressed. There are also many examples of the Congregation letting go of a ministry in order for it to continue and thrive with the help of other organizations.
Such is the case with Saint Joseph Montessori Children's Center, formerly Nazareth Montessori Children's Center, started by Patricia Hill, SCN. Faced with the reality that there were fewer Sisters available to work in the Montessori program and enrollment numbers were shifting, Saint Joseph Parish offered to take over and open new doors for this ministry. Still located on the Nazareth campus, the collaboration has proven successful and Sister Pat remains a strong presence in the classrooms. The outstanding reputation of this educational facility continues to grow as do the opportunities to interact with the many generations living on campus. Students can also be found exploring the abundant trees, plants, and wildlife surrounding them.
One of the more remarkable features of Nazareth campus is how the Sisters carry out their efforts to care for the earth. Where Russell Hall once stood, a beautiful landscape now welcomes visitors. The building, which had structural problems, was carefully deconstructed with an emphasis placed on making sure to recycle as much of the building and its contents as possible. Many items from Russell Hall were given to new homes from stained glass windows donated to area chapels to beds sent to shelters for the homeless. Though Catherine Spalding Retreat Center has closed, the ministry of spirituality itself continues with private and directed retreats being offered on campus.
Mary's Garden, with the focal point of the Lourdes Shrine, offers a prayerful spot for campus visitors. The garden is maintained by the loving care of campus employees and the careful eye of Rita Spalding, SCN, who spends many visits tending the garden which honors her sister, Mary Acquin Spalding Schneider, who lives in Atlanta, Ga. Dedicated in November of last year, it is a tribute to Mary from her husband and four children. It features a myriad of plants as well as benches and stations to pray the mysteries of the rosary.
With so many beautiful plants and majestic trees on campus, visitors often ask "how does the campus stay so lush?" As members of the SCN family work to carry out the commitment to care for the earth, they are ever mindful of natural resources. Water from the many ponds on campus is used to nurture the plants. There is also a campus-wide commitment to conservation and recycling. Residents conserve water when taking showers, cooking, and cleaning. Cardboard, aluminum, and paper products are collected and recycled. Members of the SCN family also conserve energy in a number of ways including the use of energy efficient light bulbs and the good old fashioned hanging of laundry on lines to dry.
And this year, new efforts to share the earth and reach out to others, folks were invited to plant a community garden at Nazareth. It was an especially touching initiative as so many have been dealing with tough times triggered by a rocky economy. The gardens yielded a bounty of tomatoes, corn, and other vegetables.
No matter where SCN family members come together to minister, they strive to share their resources, ever mindful of walking in the footsteps of Mother Catherine and her legacy at Nazareth, where the early seeds of charity were planted.
To many, Nazareth campus is a place of unparalleled beauty, a place to retreat. Over the years, photographer and SCN Associate, Trudi Maish, has captured the changing of the seasons on campus from spectacular sunsets, to the campus enshrouded in fog, to deer gathered among the tombstones in the cemetery. An accomplished photographer, her photos offer a glimpse of the peace and beauty that is Nazareth, Ky.

If you grew up in Milwaukee, WI, like I did – then you might recognize this:
This is the original Milwaukee Art Museum, before mercifully receiving a newer and less horrifying addition next door in the early 2000s. The original museum looks like something out of a 1950's monster movie – "The Insect that Ate the World!"
The building is not as bad as it used to be; they've added glass walls and tiled facades with slight color variation to take the edge off. But its original design is strange and unsettling, completely without character.
There's more – The Milwaukee Main Post Office:
Yet another enormous, repulsive behemoth. Sharp corners, flat walls, hardly a speck of relateable inspiration or beauty to be found. A blight on the cityscape. The rear side is no better:
The rusted and drippy concrete screams "Abandon hope for ye parcels, all ye who enter here." If it weren't for the mail trucks, I'd hardly believe it were a post office. It looks more akin to a damp prison.
The building was recently purchased by a private developing company. With any luck, they'll transform the whole thing into something less hideous.
The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, seen at nighttime. The nearly featureless facade gives it the morbid sense of a dreary mausoleum:
I will give credit where it's due – the design has been improved, adding more rounded glass and lighting. It looks marginally less like gigantic, impersonal concrete blocks dropped out of the sky – as it did when first built:
The Milwaukee Police Headquarters is one of the most terrifying monoliths I've ever seen. A garish structure jutting out of the cityscape as if the result of some twisted geological curse:
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where I spent two miserable years as a student, has some of the worst examples of all:
All of the above are examples of "Brutalist" architecture, a neo-modernist style of building that emerged in the 1950's and continued to see construction into the 1980's, when the immense ugliness of the style began to realize itself in the public consciousness and lead to a backlash. The "style" encouraged the enormous, featureless, and expansive, emphasizing unnatural cuboid shapes and strange slitted windows.
Beyond the architecture, what other trait do the above buildings have in common? Think beyond the physical. Answer: They're all government buildings funded by tax dollars, either in part or in full. Bureaucrats in committees chose these designs – not based, of course, off what people wanted to see, but what message they wanted to send.
The same architectural design was popular in the Soviet Union throughout it's existence, with numerous examples ranging from ramshackle apartment buildings to enormous government bunkers:
It's bad enough in Milwaukee to have look at only a few of these monstrosities blighting the landscape. But can you imagine an entire city looking like this? Where all the apartment buildings look like identical head-nods to the constant, crummy grind of life in a miserable and oppressive police state? I can only imagine. It's all you can do to place some flowers on the windowsill in a desperate attempt to not feel like a mindless bee in a hive, to feel like your home has SOME spark of your own being and flavor.
None of this is an accident, of course. Brutalism has always appealed to the type of people that love "governing" – that is, wielding power and beating people over the head with it. It appealed to the successive left-wing government administrations that have ruled Milwaukee for nearly a century – one of the only American cities to ever have a mayor from the Socialist Party. And the style was clearly right at home in the Soviet Union, which hardly needs explanation.
They had no concern for beauty. They had no use for it. The point was always the same: to exude power in the sheer, massive face of a frightening concrete titan that drove home this point to the viewer: "Behold, our glory. Nothing exists but us, and you. And you are but a speck."
Even the small city hall of the suburb I grew up in – West Allis, WI – was not immune to Brutalist malaise, built by small-town bureaucrats in a clear "me-too" imitation of what the REAL bigwigs were doing downtown. It resembles a bizarre and mutated horseshoe crab, or maybe a gigantic gray slug:
Of course, not even the old city hall had much to commend it:
Still boxy and square, but less consciously so. At least it had brick, with it's embracing red coziness, as opposed to brainless, muted concrete. I'm not taken with the front columns; I've never been a big fan of classical architecture anywhere outside of it's original setting in ancient Mediterranean ruins. I suppose it's interesting from a historical point of view, but I find there to be utterly nothing inviting or comforting about tall, imposing roman columns. I'd sooner take delight in city hall if it had a clearly well-used but beloved wooden porch, or were housed in an old wooden barn. The large classical buildings often found in government – certainly all over Washington D.C. – do not move me.
Milwaukee has it's share of pleasant architecture – what I would consider pleasant, anyway. Like I mentioned earlier, the new art museum is not nearly as bad:
Being less rigid and more imaginative in design, it's far better than the hard, imposing corners of it's less fortunate predecessor. The white color is pleasing to the eye, as opposed to drab, weathered concrete.
I've always enjoyed what remains of the old German-style architecture, particularly in the old breweries:
Even when in an industrial setting, it at least has the spark of something meaningful and traditional. Not built the way it was because it made city planners feel like deities, but because it was simply "the style" in which these things were built.
The old Catholic churches of Milwaukee are marvelous structures – monuments to the belief of a Higher Power who demands obedience while loving us and blessing us with beauty, as opposed to Brutalist monuments honoring the higher powers who simply demand obedience – love and beauty be damned, especially when they get in the way of the next big boondoggle:
While ruled successively by semi-Marxists, Democratic Socialists, and Progressives, Milwaukee has never – of course – been as bad as the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had totalitarian Communism; Milwaukee has only had hardcore welfare-state leftists pissing away other people's money on worthless political projects.
This is what differentiates the Brutalism of the USSR from Brutalism in a place like Milwaukee. In the Soviet Union, the large, imposing structures sent a clear message: "We own you. Bow down, slave." In Milwaukee, the leftists in charge of the city could only ever send this message: "We wish we owned you. But we do ask you to please bow down to us."
Violence is key to making the whole leftist dream work. Without specific, unrestricted violent sanctions to force people into doing things, the whole leftist dream is just a power fantasy. While Brutalism reinforced the *ahem* "dream" in the Soviet Union, it was only ever a symbol of wishful thinking among American bureaucrats, where they do not have the kind of free-reign violence at their disposal that was had in the USSR. Brutalist buildings are not scary and threatening to us in America – just ugly.
Brutalism in the USA is dead as a serious architectural style. It can be resurrected for the value of novelty, but no city in it's right mind is going to build another Brutalist city hall. Voters hate it.

MSP calls for 'serious questions' on school wind turbines spending
Credit: Anger over cash spent on turbines at schools | The Courier | 12 July 2013 | www.thecourier.co.uk ~~
Schools in Fife and the Forth Valley have spent more than £200,000 of taxpayers' money on wind turbines.
Fife Council spent £108,000 on seven turbines, Stirling Council erected two turbines at a cost of £40,000, Falkirk Council shelled out £40,000 on one turbine and a single turbine cost Clackmannanshire Council £20,000.
The Scottish Conservatives' education spokeswoman, Liz Smith, who uncovered the figures using freedom of information legislation, criticised the Scottish Government over the spending.
"Everyone knows that the SNP's relentless drive for wind turbines has gone too far and now we learn that even schools aren't spared from this obsession," she said.
"Worse still, it turns out that one fifth of the turbines which have been erected on school premises in recent years have already been decommissioned, placing an additional burden upon the taxpayer as well as upon hard-pressed councils."
Four of Fife's seven turbines have been decommissioned, one of which was taken down at a cost of £500. All turbines erected at Forth Valley schools remain in place.
Liz Smith, who is an MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife region, added: "As the debate rages about the efficiency of wind energy, there are serious questions to be asked about large sums of public money being spent on turbines which, only a few years later, are decommissioned.
"When this happens in schools, parents and teachers have a right to be angry, as there is very clearly a case for the money to be better spent elsewhere."
A Scottish Government spokesman underlined their support for onshore wind energy "in appropriate locations".
He added: "While financial return is available to local authorities wishing to install turbines within the school estate, councils and schools must make decisions on whether to install based on consultation with parents, pupils, staff and communities."

"How advanced analytics are redefining banking" - McKinsey April 2013 (5 min video and transcript)
"In the 1980s and 1990s, IT systems transformed virtually every single bank process. Today, banks have that rare opportunity to reinvent themselves again—with data and analytics. "Every single major decision to drive revenue, to control costs, or to mitigate risks can be infused with data and analytics," says Toos Daruvala, a director in McKinsey's New York office. "[This] will be a differentiator for some period of time." In this video, Daruvala explains how three diverse banks are using analytics to gain an edge in a cutthroat environment—by improving risk assessment and predicting customer behavior. What follows is an edited transcript of his remarks."
