First Tennessee Bank and the Memphis Public Library have formed a unique partnership. Working together, we've created one centrally-located facility that serves as a resource, referral and distribution center for Mid-South businesses.
Located in the Business/Science Department of the Central Library, the Small Business Center is geared to serve the potential small business owner, the recently-licensed entrepreneur and the established small business operator.
Included in the pages here are some specialized Small Business Center resources and internet resources that will help you accomplish the steps you need to take.
A library online publication, "Where to Go for Small Business Information in Memphis and Shelby County," highlights other agencies in the area that assist, in various ways, those interested in small business ownership.
Where to Go for Small Business Information in Memphis & Shelby County
Business Plan Links from SBDCNET The Small Business Development Center National Information Clearinghouse (SBDCNET) links include general business plans as well as specific business plans. Plans or guides are available for businesses such as Bed & Breakfast, Construction Firm, General Retail, Publishing, and more.
Essential Elements of a Good Business Plan The United States Small Business Administration gives an extremely detailed outline of a business plan recommended for potential business owners to use as a model when developing a plan of their own.
Sample Business Plans from TSBDC Tennessee Small Business Development Centers provide the small business developer with examples of business plans for particular businesses and show how other entrepreneurs have compiled their information.
SCORE Templates for Your Business Service Core of Retired Executives (SCORE) provides a gallery of business plans and financial and accounting statements. SCORE is a national nonprofit association dedicated to helping entrepreneurs.
The following pages will provide the reader with an outline and an example of a business plan. This presentation is general in nature because a business plan is a personal statement that reflects individual goals. The reader should, however, be able to take this example and construct his own plan for use in developing the business.
A brief summation of company goals, critical factors, products and services, markets and industry, management, financial position and projected performance.
Demographic information about people in particular areas includes such characteristics as age, education, income, and gender. The prime source for demographic information is the U.S. Census. In addition, there are a number of other privately published demographic sources available in the Department.
Included in the pages below are some of the paper sources available in the Business and Sciences Department, as well as some WWW links that will be helpful to anyone seeking demographic information.
(These resources are available in PRINT in the Business & Science Department. Please ask for assistance at the Reference Desk.)
The Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios uses "the latest available IRS figures on U.S. and international companies, and tracks 50 operating and financial factors in 192 industries." It provides "competitive norms in dollar amounts of revenue and provides other critical financial factors in percentage, including debt ratio, return on assets, return on equity, profit margin, and more."
RMA Annual Statement Studies is a source of detailed industry financial data for comparing businesses to industry in valuation reports, company/industry ratio analyses and credit decisions.
The Small Business Sourcebook is "a guide to the information services and sources provided to many small businesses by associations, consultants, educational programs, franchisers, government agencies (federal, state, and local), reference works, statisticians, suppliers, trade shows, and venture capital firms." When other sources fail to provide information on a specific business, the Small Business Sourcebook often has useful resources.
Dun & Bradstreet's Regional Business Directory provides business listings for providers of business services; finance, insurance and real estate; transportation, communication, & public utilities; retail trade; wholesale trade; manufacturing; construction; and mining. Each business listed includes the company name, address, telephone, D-U-N-S number, primary line of business, SIC codes, number of employees by location and by company, annual sales volume, key officers, date established and/or ticker symbol if publicly traded. The directory is arranged in three volumes. The first volume organizes information geographically (alphabetically by city and, within each city, sorted by zip code). The second volume organizes the information by industry for easy cross-reference. Finally, the third volume organizes company names alphabetically for quick cross-reference.
The Editor and Publisher Market Guide offers individual market surveys of all U.S. and Canadian cities where a daily newspaper is published. Data provided for each city includes information on its location, population, transportation, number of banks, principal industries, retail establishments, climate and newspapers.
The Community Sourcebook of Zip Code Demographics provides statistics about people, households, personal income, labor force, housing and spending habits by zip code. It also provides statistics about business establishments by zip code indicating number of firms, top employment industry and number of employees as well as consumer types.
(These resources are available in PRINT in the Business & Science Department and ONLINE. Please ask for assistance at the Reference Desk.)
The Census Bureau's website (www.census.gov) provides a wealth of information for business people. It contains the official statistics of the U.S. Census Bureau, and a wide variety of demographics for Memphis, as well as for other areas of Tennessee and the rest of the country. This site can provide much help to any business owner, anyone doing market research, or anyone who is writing a business plan. By starting at American FactFinder (see the left column on the Census homepage), a street address can be entered to find Census 2000 data on the local level. To obtain basic demographic data, consult Summary File 1. Summary File 2 provides detailed data about racial groups in America and Summary File 3 provides social, economic and housing data accessible for all geographic levels.
County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/index.html) is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas such as counties (Shelby County, for example), metropolitan statistical areas (such as Memphis, TN-AR-MS MSA), by zip code(s) and/or by the United States. Find out the number of similar businesses in your area and their size. Also allows you to compare with other geographical areas. Use the data to analyze market potential, measure the effectiveness of sales and advertising programs, set sales quotas, and develop budgets.
The Economic Census (www.census.gov/econ/census07/), compiled every 5 years, is a great resource for detailed information about businesses by sector and location. Your business can use this resource to gauge competition, calculate market share, determine sales territories and quotas, and evaluate opportunities. For example, you can find the number of establishments, sales, annual payroll, and number of paid employees by zip code for your industry or business type.
Online versions of the Statistical Abstract of the United States (available online in .pdf format for the years 1995 through 2000 and 2001 through 2003 at www.census.gov/compendia/statab) contain a collection of statistics on social and economic conditions in the United States.
The County and City Data Book is a local area supplement to the Statistical Abstract of the United States and contains detailed demographic and economic information for counties and cities arranged alphabetically by state in tabular form.
The State and Metropolitan Area Data Book (available online in .pdf format at www.census.gov/prod/2010pubs/10smadb/2010smadb.pdf) is a local area supplement to the Statistical Abstract of the United States and contains a summary of statistics on the social, political and economic organizations of the states and metropolitan areas.
(These resources below are available only ONLINE.)
MapStats provides statistical information on agriculture, crime, population, business and environment at the state, county and city level.
The Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce website offers helpful economic and demographic information about the Metro area. From its home page, the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce provides insight to living and working in Memphis. Additionally, the website offers insight into Memphis business that includes information on taxes, training, location selection, incentives and much more.
The Census Bureau provides statistics about businesses in terms of employers and non-employers, size, receipts, and legal form of organizations, and allows users to define business categories in any of these ways.
The Small Business Administration, through their Office of Advocacy, collects statistics of U.S. businesses with status as "employer firms" and "non-employer firms". In particular, a non-employer firm is defined as one that has no paid employees, has annual business receipts of at least $1,000, and is subject to federal income taxes.
The Sparks Bureau of Business and Economic Research/Center for Manpower Studies (also known as Sparks BBER) websites offers data and analysis of demographic, economic, and business trends in the Mid-South. For Memphis demographics, there is a link on the site called "Memphis MSA,†which gives detailed statistics and information about the city.
A grant is a transfer of money usually from a non-profit agency or government agency to another non-profit or government agency. A grant may be given to an individual (such as a scholarship or fellowship) but it is more often given to an organization.
When a grant is given, there are usually no requirements to repay the money. The library often gets inquiries about how to get free money or grants to meet a particular need, such as starting a business, home repair, education and other personal needs. While grants might not be available in every situation, other forms of assistance include loans, loan insurance, business consultation, and technical assistance. These types of support are still very valuable. The following are some frequently asked questions and answers about locating grants and other types of assistance.
Common Questions:
I want to find out more about government aid. Where do I start?
What is a non-profit organization? Can I get money from them?
I work with a non-profit organization. What resources are available for my group?
Can my church apply for grants and assistance?
I would like to start a for-profit business. What assistance is available for me?
I need help fixing up my house. Can the government help?
Is there funding available for education, artistic projects or other personal needs?
Most government grants go to states, cities, or non-profit organizations so that these groups can provide programs and services to individuals. Grants for higher education are one exception where grants go to individuals. To apply for higher education grants and loans from the federal government, you will need to submit a completed FAFSA form. The FAFSA form is available at some library branches and is available online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
For information about other government assistance for individuals, try the GovBenefits website at http://www.govbenefits.gov. Answer a few questions and then view a list of government programs that may be appropriate for you along with information about how you can apply.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is the government publication that lists all of the federal programs that provide assistance to states, cities, businesses, as well as individuals. This assistance includes financial and non-financial help. This list can be found at the website: http://www.cfda.gov. The list can be searched in many ways; look for the links type of assistance and applicant eligibility.
The Central Library also has a copy of the Government Assistance Almanac. This book lists the same programs found in the CFDA online, but many users find the almanac easier to use. The Government Assistance Almanac is kept at the Business/Science reference desk at the Central Library and is available to use within the library, but cannot be checked out.
If you are looking for grants geared towards organizations, you might be interested in this website: http://grants.gov, where federal government agencies post grant announcements. You can sign up to receive grant announcements by e-mail and apply for appropriate grants online.
A non-profit organization is an organization that either does not make money or uses all of its profits to advance its services and programs. The owners of a non-profit organization do not get to keep any earnings. IRS regulations make it very difficult for non-profit organizations to give money directly to individuals. These agencies may have programs that help people but the aid is usually not in the form of free money.
The Central Library's Nonprofit Resource Center is a special collection of resources located on the third floor in the Business & Science Department. Whether you are just starting to research a nonprofit venture or would like to strengthen an existing one, there is a wealth of information available in a variety of formats: books, videos, periodicals, and online tools. As a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, this center maintains numerous directories of grants and grantmakers.
The church, as an organization, can apply for grants and funding from private foundations and other charitable groups.
Generally, the grants available to business are intended for disaster relief, agriculture, and the development of technology. However, there are many sources of non-grant help in the Memphis area:
The Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) offers free assistance to help business owners grow and develop successful, thriving businesses. The TSBDC gives advice about banking, sources of capital, business proposals, and more. Contact them at 901-526-9300 (Renaissance Center) or 901-333-5058 (SWCC). Their website can be found at http://www.tsbdc.org.
The Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with free, confidential, face-to-face counseling. Contact this group at 901-544-3588. The SCORE website can be found at http://www.score.org.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) does not provide grants or loans to small business. Instead, the SBA offers loan guarantees so that businesses will be more attractive to local lenders such as banks or venture capitalists. You can find helpful information on the SBA website located at http://www.sba.gov. The Tennessee district office of the SBA is located at 555 Beale Street. Call 901-526-9300 for more information on their services.
For more local organizations that offer assistance, check out "Where to go for Small Business Information in Memphis & Shelby County" on the library's website: http://www.memphislibrary.org/businessandsciences/ftsbc/where-to-go
The government agency to contact is the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Loans and loan-guarantee programs are available for buying, repairing, and rehabilitating homes if you meet their conditions. Information about these programs can be found on the HUD website: http://www.hud.gov. You can also contact the local HUD office at 901-544-3367.
The library has several reference books that can be useful in locating scholarships for higher education. Additionally, the Foundation Center website has a great page that lists starting points for these areas. This page is located at http://foundationcenter.org/getstarted/individuals/fundingfor/.
The Central Library's Business & Science Department has several collections that are related to grants and other types of assistance. The Nonprofit Resource Center contains resources primarily for non-profit organizations including grant and proposal writing, working with volunteers and fundraising. The First Tennessee Small Business Center is made available to help entrepreneurs and existing businesses start or expand their business with resources such as books, videos, government publications and periodicals. The Job and Career Center has scholarship books to locate sources of funding for education. Come and visit these centers on the third floor of the Central Library or check out suggested online resources at http://www.memphislibrary.org/toc/lsercol.htm.
Looking for health coverage in the (SHOP) Marketplace? The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace helps businesses provide health coverage to their employees. This Marketplace is open to employers with 50 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees (FTEs).
The government buys goods and services at the local government level, the state government level and the federal government level. Your business must qualify to do business with the government. Each government level and each buying agency has specific requirements that must be met before a contract will be awarded. Be sure to review the requirements of each agency to increase your chances of winning a bid!
The "Other Opportunities" link below offers information on services available to assist your business in winning a government contract. These services (most of which are free) may provide the competitive edge your business needs to successfully win a government contract! Be sure to take full advantage of the services that are available.
The website links below connect to each state's purchasing department. These websites will provide the information necessary for completing registration requirements in order to do business with a particular state.
The First Tennessee Small Business Center, located in the Business/Sciences Department at the Central Library, is sponsoring programs in order to help in starting, growing, and running a small business. These programs are presented by several agencies in the Memphis area, are free and require no pre-registration.

A giant statue, sited at an altitude of 8,500 feet on the Jakhu Hills here, will be unveiled by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal and actor Abhishek Bachchan on Thursday.
The 108-foot-high statue of Hanuman at the famous Jakhu temple is built by JHS Svendgaard Laboratories, India's largest oral care products manufacturers, and the HC Nanda Trust. The reinforced concrete Hanuman idol has been built at a cost of Rs. 1.5 crore, informed sources said. The foliage around the idol has been either cut or pruned by the local administration to make the statue visible from all corners of the town. The Kesri idol will be illuminated at night with floodlights. Environmentalists and old-time residents of the town, however, are not happy with the development. They feel that the statue has spoiled Shimla's lush green skyline that is streaked with deodar and oak forests.

Today Dave Bush pitched 7 1/3 of NO HIT ball. Not only that he was the first Brewer of the season to pitch for seven innings. It was also the first time the team has won two straight and the first series win of the season. Braun, Fielder and Hall all played well.
What does this all mean? It's party time!

Ok Cork O'Connor mystery. A good beginning, very gripping but then sort of petered out in the middle and then got better towards the end. A senseless death of one character I thought and a pretty unbelivable ending.

VERMILLION, S.D. (KWSN) – The South Dakota women's basketball team will host the Drake Bulldogs in the first women's college basketball game played at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.
The game will be played on the 3,100-seat Heritage Court, which is set in the middle of the Pentagon. The complex is set to open this fall.
The matchup will mark the third straight season Drake and South Dakota have met on the court with the Coyotes winning the previous two meetings. USD topped Drake in the first round of the 2012 WNIT 61-53 in the DakotaDome and again last season 74-69 in Des Moines.
While USD will host the event, the game will be counted as a neutral site game for RPI and other competitive reasons. USD will have a similar neutral site game against South Dakota School of Mines in Rapid City on Dec. 7.
Heritage Court will be the home floor for the NBDL's Sioux Falls Skyforce and will hold its first men's college game on Nov. 8 when Wisconsin hosts St. John's.

EL PASO — A Fort Worth man is arrested for a 3rd DWI Wednesday when police responded to a call of a "Subject Down at the Wheel."
When the officers arrived, they met with a witness that informed the Officers that a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am was in her driveway and the driver, 53-year old Jose Sanchez, appeared to be unconscious.
The officers met with Sanchez and observed him to be displaying signs of intoxication. After further investigation, officers determined Sanchez was intoxicated and had two prior DWI convictions in El Paso(1986 and 1993).
He was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility under a $5,000 dollar bond.

|FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE DISCOVERY OF GeV GAMMA-RAY EMISSION FROM THE VICINITY OF SNR W44
|Y. UchiyamaS. FunkH. KatagiriJ. KatsutaM. Lemoine-Goumard1H. TajimaT. TanakaD. F. Torres
|We report the detection of GeV γ-ray emission from the molecular cloud complex that surrounds the supernova remnant (SNR) W44 using the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi. While the previously reported γ-ray emission from SNR W44 is likely to arise from the dense radio-emitting filaments within the remnant, the γ-ray emission that appears to come from the surrounding molecular cloud complex can be ascribed to the cosmic rays (CRs) that have escaped from W44. The non-detection of synchrotron radio emission associated with the molecular cloud complex suggests the decay of π0 mesons produced in hadronic collisions as the γ-ray emission mechanism. The total kinetic energy channeled into the escaping CRs is estimated to be Wesc ~ (0.3-3) × 1050 erg, in broad agreement with the conjecture that SNRs are the main sources of Galactic CRs.

Quarryhill Educational Tours for Schools
Quarryhill conducts half-day educational tours of the Asian woodland garden for 4th and 5th grade classes in Sonoma County. The tours wind through the garden in the manner of plant hunters in the wild, collecting seed, leaves, fruits, and flowers for examination. In the process, various elements of the California State science curriculum are taught, and topics unique to Quarryhill are illustrated. Topics discussed include basic plant anatomy, photosynthesis, adaptation, the importance of plants in our lives, conservation issues, and the plant life cycle, including flowers, pollination, and seed dispersal.
The spring tour season takes place during the second half of March through the end of May, and the fall season takes place from September through the first half of November. We are now accepting reservations for the 2014-2015 academic year. As a limited number of tour dates are available during each season, teachers interested in visiting Quarryhill are advised to apply early.
To submit a reservation, please print and submit this .pdf:

Tours last approximately two hours, and are normally scheduled in the morning (but can be scheduled in the afternoon) with time available in our picnic area for lunch (students bring their own) after the tour. The program requires teacher and parent chaperones to attend. All garden entrance fees are waived for Quarryhill educational school tours.
This is a very special opportunity for elementary students to experience a unique and beautiful garden and to supplement their classroom botanical education with a distinctive outdoor experience.

Teacher/Parent Comments:
"The kids absolutely loved the tour of Quarryhill . . . "
"I thought it was a great field trip. I really liked all the information given the kids."
"The topics covered were excellent. The docents and staff did an excellent job covering the botany and history of the garden."
"The students LOVED the view from the top by the Tibetan Prayer Flags; and the trees that gave off the bakery smell, the waterfalls, watching for frogs, and learning about the different seedpods. They took a wealth of information back with them."
"The docents were wonderful, and my chaperons had only positive things to say about their caring ways, and understanding of how kids sometimes act when they are outside. They engaged them!"
"Seed/germination demo was great--fun to take the planted seeds home"

Three young adults were killed and a fourth was critically injured in a single-car crash in Anne Arundel County, police said.
Shortly after 12:30 a.m. Sunday, officers went to the area of Piney Orchard Parkway and Riverscape Road in Odenton.
An initial investigation found that a 2005 Subaru WDX was traveling at a high rate of speed on Piney Orchard Parkway when the driver failed to negotiate a curve and the car struck a light pole. The Subaru then continued traveling and struck two trees, police said.
The driver and the three passengers were trapped inside of the car as a result of the crash. The driver and two of the passengers died at the scene, and a third passenger was extricated from the car and taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The driver has been identified as David Michael D'Augustine and the two dead passengers have been identified as Samuel Carl Schindler and Katherine Marie Warrington. All three were 22 years old and from Odenton, police said. The passenger in the hospital is 23-year-old Michael Lee Phillips of Gambrills.
According to media reports, D'Augustine was in the Air Force and Schindler was in the Navy. Schindler and Warrington were cousins.

Intel Haswell
Haswell is the codename for Intel's processor microarchitecture that serves as the successor to the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge architectures. Like Ivy Bridge, Haswell utilizes a 22nm (nanometer) die shrink fabrication process, and it serves as the "tock" in Intel's alternating tick-tock model of releasing new processor families. The "tick" to Haswell, codenamed Broadwell, will be fabricated on a 14nm die shrink.
Processors utilizing Haswell were officially announced and released by Intel in June 2013 as the "4th Generation Intel Core Processor Family," with each Haswell processor bearing a 4-digit number with an initial digit of "4." This follows the pattern of Ivy Bridge processors bearing a number in the "3xxx" range and Sandy Bridge processors falling in the "2xxx" range.
The successors to Haswell and Broadwell will be Skylake and Skymont, and they're expected to use a 14nm die shrink and 10nm die shrink, respectively.

Robert Goolrick
Adult Fiction GOOLRIC
Summary: Rural Wisconsin, 1909. In the bitter cold, Ralph Truitt, a successful businessman, stands alone on a train platform waiting for the woman who answered his newspaper advertisement for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she's not the "simple, honest woman" that Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, haunted by a terrible past and motivated by greed. Her plan is simple: she will win this man's devotion, and then, ever so slowly, she will poison him and leave Wisconsin a wealthy widow. What she has not counted on, though, is that Truitt -- a passionate man with his own dark secrets --has plans of his own for his new wife. Isolated on a remote estate and imprisoned by relentless snow, the story of Ralph and Catherine unfolds in unimaginable ways. With echoes of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca , Robert Goolrick's intoxicating debut novel delivers a classic tale of suspenseful seduction, set in a world that seems to have gone temporarily off its axis.

Our last Craftsman mower finally failed and we bought this one to replace it. The engine is powerful, and it starts with one pull. It does an exceptional job of mulching the grass, which we love because we never use the baggers that come with mowers. Our last model had a side piece that stuck out and made it difficult to get close to trees and other obstacles. This one has nothing sticking out, so it mows closer. It is solidly built and a bit heavier than our old model, so gives me a workout pushing it. If we had wanted a really easy to push mower, we'd have bought a self-propelled model. I was confused by the addition of a deck-cleaning feature, as I'd never had a mower that could power clean my deck before! Unfortunately, it only helps clean the underside (deck) of the mower. Oh well. Overall, I'm very pleased with this lawn mower.

Looked at many bargain/value lawn mowers and chose this mower for it's feature and engine size. I wanted a push mower as the self propelled are not as maneuverable. I have cut the lawn (10,00 sq/ft) twice and both times it has been very long 7-8 inches in good portions. Did not even use a full tank of gas and oil is still looking clean. As for cutting, the mulching, side discharge and bagging all work well. I like that there is a built in diverter for mulching in the bagging door. I wish the side discharge was not another piece, but that is not a big deal. Mulching in the 7-8 grass is slow, but what do you expect? Put it in bagging or side discharge and it can handle a fast pace. The engine starts/runs well and is much quieter than my older mowers. http://www.briggsandstratton.com/us/en/engines/push-mower-engines/725ex-platinum-series It seems that B&S has stepped up their game in quality. Other good features; The high push handle for a 6ft person. The washout plug is self sealing Oil and Gas caps color coded and short twist. The so-so features are; The handle is not easily folding, so it is sticking out of my storage area. No throttle, just keeps a steady RPM. The front wheel adjustment is quick to drop to the lowest setting and knowing which setting it is on is difficult. It seems to be sturdy enough as other reviewers have stated this has broken.

I really liked this machine the first few months I owned it . But then it started sputtering after mowing for a while. The second season it chugged along and finally sputtered to a stop, and would not restart. Took it in for an overhaul. It ran for the rest of the season but again started sputtering and stalled out. I've had it in the shop twice and looks like it needs to go back again. Seems like a fuel problem. The carb's been rebuilt already. Unacceptable in a machine I've owned only 2 years. I have changed the oil twice and kept the spark plug clean and replaced the air filter twice. I thought Briggs and Stratton engines were good. The one on my old mower (a Murray) ran great. This is the second Sears I bought that has been a disappointment. They won't see me a third time.

Let me tell you what a challenge my yard is on a big hill of sand which means it's uneven ground. This mower is amazing.....I just don't know where to start. Incredibly easy to start....almost too easy...amazing. The mower handle is shaped differently from all my other mowers and I love it....and yes it does make a difference. This monster is 190 cc and there can be no denial of it's over all power. The price was right and no delivery charge. It was sent out the same day...also amazing. Obviously I couldn't be happier with my total experience. Buy this bad boy you won't be sorry.

Used it for the first time on 9/7/14 so the review might be premature...however, set up out of the box was super easy and it started on the first pull. The lawn was about 12" long in places and this mower powered right through! I started with the highest setting and mowed the yard 3 times, lowering the deck each time. Every time I emptied the catcher the engine had to be stopped, as designed...and it re-started with the first pull each time. If the mower,with routine maintenance, works this well for several years it will have been an excellent purchase!

Overall quite good with a few minor issues. No deal breakers. The mower has plenty of power and mows about anything. The handle design and wheel sizes make it very easy to push and maneuver. It is much more comfortable than my old straight handle. It seems to run a bit faster and thus use a bit more gas than my old 6.5 HP, but torque does depend on HP and speed. If you go to B&S's web site you can look up the power and torque curves for all their engines. This one has a nice fairly "flat" torque curve. It cuts and mulches very well and leaves no overclippings. The wheel set up is very good as the blade cut circle is just outside the wheels which makes trimming and full cut width use possible while avoiding overclipping trails. The underneath cleanout hook up for a hose is nice. The manual is pretty poor. Does not give you much info. But unless this is your first mower ever it's no big deal. Engine: Outside it's pretty much a standard B&S. There is no oil change plug in the bottom. It is sealed. You have to change oil by tipping the mower over and draining out the fill pipe. This is a very poor, clumsy method. You better have your oil hot and almost all gas drained out or you will have a mess and not get all the oil out. The gas cap is better than older ones as it does not spill ( vent ) gas when real full to start. It used a lot more gas than my old mower at first, but seems to have broken in and now its just a bit more and a non issue for what it delivers. Twice at first it slowed down on me and quit once which I found was due to low gas , not all the way out, but low. Filled up and no issue. It did stall on me once and started right back up with no issue. See "clippings" below for what I think may be reason. Engine has broken in and overall has about 12-14 hours on it. Last 8-10 hours it has been flawless. It has started every time on the first pull right from the beginning. You do have to take the slack out and give a sharp tug not a slow pull ..... just like any other pull start. Mower: I mow at highest setting and have lowered down one notch once. Either way, the right front wheel are spits out grass which lessens as the mower runs longer (?). It is not bad but appears to be an issue with the inside deck baffling design. It does mulch extremely well. The clippings reach a steady level and I have not found it to be an issue. They do however spit all over the gas fill cap. This may be why some folks have had gumming or run issues. I have found I simply need to use a small brush and paper towel to clean it off outside before re-filling and to wipe the underside of the gas cap of grass. Otherwise it will get into the gas system and I'm sure cause issues. Once I started doing this, no issues. Poor design by Mower folks and B&S in coordinating. They say nothing about letting the mower cool before using hose connection. I let mine cool a while before using the hose as cold water on a hot engine can lead to possible cracking
Molalla, OR
via sears.com
It mowed "green" grass ok but mowing dried leaves or grass sent TONS of dried particles all over the engine (through a large space between the back flap and mower body) AND in my face. It was bad while bagging but REALLY bad in mulch mode. I've owned a few Craftsmen mowers in the past and have been happy but THIS mower NOT. Plus, the deck clean-out just leaked water all over the TOP of the deck and got just a little water under the deck. VERY disappointed, returned product.

Winston strongly supports the efforts of many conservation and educational organizations around the world. The individuals who dedicate their time and energies to conservation do so almost entirely because they, like us, believe passionately that while a healthy economy leads inevitably to change in many forms, including changing land use and other forms of growth, steps need to be taken to safeguard our environment. Consequently, we see it as our responsibility to help make sure that issues affecting water quality, wild trout populations, coastal fisheries, and other conservation and educational efforts receive the necessary attention to ensure that short-sighted goals don't lead to long-term environmental problems. We can all help in different ways, large or small. Simply building awareness usually achieves the greatest results since we've found that most people care about their environment. We want our children to be able to tell their children as many big fish stories as we've told them.
The following are just a few of the organizations that Winston supports. We encourage you to follow your passion and lend a hand to the organizations that inspire you!

It may be the one thing that saves a drug addict or alcoholic -- an intervention -- convincing them to get help in rehab.
It's usually done by family or friends in private. It's even been done on reality TV. And now we found a group doing interventions in an unlikely place -- the streets of Phoenix.
We asked former drug addict Clint Richards: "What would you say to someone who says, you're crazy you're going out here approaching strangers who have an addiction?"
"I've done that my whole life. I spent my whole life out here approaching strangers, looking for drugs. That's my element."
The streets of Phoenix are his former home.
"I was out here five years ago and I was struggling with crack addiction."
A drug addiction so powerful it consumed him. It gripped him, gripped his three colleagues, and left them with just two choices -- jail or death.
"I'm Clint Richards I've been struggling with addiction for about 15 years now."
"I'm Jymm Wilborn I'm 38 years old I've struggled with addiction for 26 years now… got to a point where I was robbing pharmacies to support my habit. It took me looking at 5 to 50 years at Joliet penitentiary to get my attention."
"I'm Tommy Schultz I've struggled with addiction since I was a heroin addict back in 1972… I was tired of killing my family -- yeah I was tired of hurting my family and where we come from. They say you have to do it for yourself but not hurting my family anymore made me feel good."
"I'm Holly From and I struggled with a meth addiction for nine months."
Now sober, they're on a mission. To do interventions on those who have no one else but strangers to turn to.
"There was an intervention on my life, through my sister that got me put into treatment, and I just started thinking about what about all the people out here that don't have anybody that don't have any family members anymore," says Richards.
They call themselves "Last Chance Intervention." They offer a place to stay and get drug treatment.
They use an RV to transport recruits to a small halfway house they own up in Prescott.
"I think that's what makes us good at what we do is that it's not unfamiliar for us to be out here."
Our cameras are there as they hit the streets bright and early, starting at 7th Avenue and Van Buren. Their goal today isn't to recruit a lot of people -- it's to find just one.
"When we come down to a place like this we're looking for someone who's done. It's not too hard to tell when they're done or not," says Schultz.
"Our stories are all different but the pain, struggles and suffering are all the same," says Wilborn.
They get a lot of no's. A lot of people who claim they're not on drugs. They get asked for money.
But it's all worth it. Because after hours of walking, they find a woman, 31 years old and homeless with a heroin problem. She admits to them she just got high.
"It was about 30 minutes ago I did a half a dime," she says. "I brought my habit down from two and a half three grams a month ago."
She asked we not identify her because she doesn't want her family to know where she's been living.
"She's been living on the streets for seven and a half months, she's out here roughing it," says Richards.
She tells them she's been trying to get help, but was put on a waiting list. After several minutes of talking, she agrees to leave with them.
"I got to say bye to my kids."
Her kids are 12, 13, and 14 years old.
"She definitely seemed hesitant but it was really clear something was in her that was going to give her some willingness," says Richards. "I think she had just had enough and that's all it takes."
So it's back on the road. The journey to recovery for this woman is just beginning.
"We're giving people an opportunity they might not ever have. An opportunity to avoid prison, avoid death, avoid a terrible life, I really think we're doing the right thing."
Last Chance Intervention is a new project. Right now they only have the space and funds to help a few people. They hope to eventually partner with other organizations so they can expand to a bigger house and other cities.
One organization that has played a big role in supporting Last Chance Intervention is the Oasis Recovery Center in Prescott at (928) 533-2887.

Bon Musica Violin Shoulder RestThis high-tech shoulder rest is completely adjustable so that the player may attain a precise fit. Made in Germany. Available 4/4-1/16.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
The "thing" has helped me immensely. It is all adjustable and bendable. It has stabilized and immobilized the instrument so I can full concentrate on the violining. Finally, after 30 years of clutching, shifting, slipping, wandering away, squirting out, sagging etc. Bon musica to the rescue. The comfort is heavenly, I am reborn.
After using a Kun rest for about four years, I switched to the Bon Musica. I immediately noticed that there was very little that I could not adjust. Most parts on the rest can be bent to fit your shoulder, and clings onto your shoulder very well; however, the nuts that hold the fork members are not too secure. After using my rest for about 14 months, both sets of nuts are loose, allowing the fork member to pivot on another axis. This causes the rest to grip the violin not as tightly, so sometimes it will simply fall off of the violin when I am finished playing.
I've taught/played violin/viola for 20 years. Hands down, this is the best shoulder rest I have ever used/tried. Dozens of my students get it, all love it. Bye-bye Kun, Mach 1, Wolf, etc. Pricey and worth every penny...
I've observed my daughter through 10 years of playing. She's never complained of shoulder or neck pain while using the Bonmusica. She found it infinitely more comfortable than other rests. However, it tends to position the violin a little too far forward on the shoulder and caused her to develop some bad habits with her bowing as well as to change the projection of sounds she was producing. It's very comfortable, but be careful with this one.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Stormwater infrastructure improved in Cottonwood
Published on Wed, Jan 8, 2014 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
Stormwater improvements seven years in the making are now complete in the Cottonwood neighborhood in Birch Bay.
The project, funded by Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management District (BBWARM), was designed to address longstanding drainage problems in the area, including flooding caused by a failing pipe and poor water quality.
Contractors installed a new stormwater conveyance system under Cedar Avenue, a bioswale that will filter out pollutants with the help of living plants and a separate near-shore drainage system along Birch Bay Drive.
The project was first envisioned in 2006 as a priority capital improvement project in Birch Bay's comprehensive stormwater management plan.
The new system increases flow capacity for the 145-acre drainage area above Cedar Avenue, including the creek flowing through Halverson Park, and treats stormwater flows from 11 acres of residential development. With the new system in place, failing portions of the old stormwater system were removed and a drainage confluence that formed a hazardous sinkhole was eliminated.
Reichhardt & Ebe Engineering of Lynden and Whatcom County Public Works completed engineering design for the project. Len Honcoop Gravel, Inc. of Lynden was the contractor with a construction contract of $468,000.
Ingrid Enschede, program specialist for Whatcom County Public Works, said time will tell how effective the improvements will be, but project managers are optimistic.
"We fully anticipate the drainage and flooding problems caused by the failing pipe to be addressed," she said. "As for improved water quality, the bioswale will help, but only in the percentage of the watershed that flows through it. We still need residents to help improve water quality in Birch Bay by doing what they can to keep pollutants out of the waterway."
The bioswale stormwater treatment facility was an important part of the project because stormwater from the Cottonwood neighborhood had the highest levels of fecal coliform bacteria in Birch Bay, and could create public health risks if left untreated.
The bioswale will treat stormwater flows from the Seaview Drive and Maple Crest Avenue area.
Bioswales are engineered drainage features that use soil and plants to naturally filter pollutants from stormwater, Enschede explained. The bioswale has an impervious liner with six cells containing drain rock and a special soil mix separated by a filter layer. It was seeded with a mix of grasses and other plants that will work with the soil to remove pollutants like fecal coliform bacteria, nitrogen and phosphorous. Clean water will soak into the drain rock then flow out through an under drain to the new pipe under Cedar Avenue.
"I would invite the public to take a walk and look at the bioswale," Enschede said. "It's really a pretty cool feature. It's a complex, engineered structure designed to filter water that looks like a landscaped rain garden."
The plants in the bioswale will take about a year to grow, at which point stormwater outflow will be redirected to flow through it. The vegetation will be mowed regularly to prevent other species of plants from moving in.
A similar bioswale was installed in the Lake Whatcom watershed in 2010, and measurements of the quality of water coming out of it have been encouraging, although the data is limited to 13 storm events.
Located on Lahti Drive near Lake Whatcom, the bioswale has reduced fecal coliform bacteria amounts by an average of 70 percent and phosphorous amounts by an average of 56 percent.
"The data is preliminary, but it's promising," Enschede said. "The project in the Cottonwood neighborhood features a similar bioswale, so our expectation is that we'll see similar results."
Whatcom County Public Works, BBWARM, and the Whatcom County Marine Resources Committee have been working with the Cottonwood community over the past year to raise awareness about water quality problems and ask for residents' help keeping the water clean. Bacteria levels decreased in 2013, but they are still significantly higher than state health standards.
Residents all around the Birch Bay and Drayton Harbor watersheds can help keep stormwater clean by picking up pet waste, making sure septic systems and side sewer connections are in good repair and keeping food away from wild animals like raccoons.
Next on the list for BBWARM is a similar project on Beachway Drive just northwest of Cottonwood Drive. Engineers are in the design phase of the Beachway Drive and Fern Park stormwater improvement project, and if permitting goes smoothly in the spring, construction will begin this summer.

There is nothing better than being in a place full of love and happiness, because everything around seems absolutely perfect. The feeling of letting go while dancing to the beat, and looking upon the flawless bride at her dream wedding as she is having the time of her life. Weddings are a beautiful thing here in my hometown Santa Clarita, taking place at very unique locations like award winning golf courses in Robinson Ranch and experiencing the thrill of "I do" at the top of a tower at our very own theme park, Six Flag's Magic Mountain.

Hamburg, 26. February 2009 – Formed by the merger of Norddeutsche Affinerie AG and Cumerio nv/sa, Aurubis is now Europe's largest copper producer and world leader in copper recycling. The official decision to rename the company was made at the annual general meeting of Norddeutsche Affinerie AG in Hamburg on February 26.
Interbrand was entrusted with the responsibility to develop the name for the newly formed corporation. "The name was to meet the requirements of the increasing internationality of the business. Ideally, it should contain a reference to the world of copper," says Marion Ballier, Naming Director at Interbrand Hamburg. "At the same time it was important to create a name with that resonates with employees and customers of both companies."
Aurubis communicates what the company stands for - derived from the Latin terms "aurum" (gold) and "ruber" (red), the name conveys the idea "red gold," reflecting the preciousness and beauty of this indispensable material. The chairman of the board of Norddeutsche Affinerie AG, Dr. Bernd Drouven sums it up: "Aurubis expresses what we share and what makes us strong - our passion for copper - a metal that is almost as precious to us as gold."
The name has passed trademark searches in more than 200 countries. Native speakers of more than 60 languages checked the name for its linguistic and cultural acceptability. Marion Ballier is certain that: "It's an attractive sound and its international usability make Aurubis a good basis to continue a 142–years success story, that is also a copper story."

Sick of Starbucks? Move to Wyoming
A map of the coffee giant's locations turns up some interesting details. For example, the farthest you can get from a company-owned shop in America is 140 miles.
James Davenport, a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington, recently put together a map of all the Starbucks-owned locations in the continental U.S. Keep in mind that these are only the sites that Starbucks owns, and not the locations inside places like Safeway (SWY) and Target (TGT). If you included those, the map would be far more crowded.
Davenport has pulled together some interesting bits of information about Starbucks. Here are some things you might not know about the company and its U.S. locations:
1. The farthest you can get from a company-owned Starbucks in America is 140 miles.
2. That point is on the Idaho-Wyoming border near Grand Teton National Park.
3. More than 80% of Americans (or about 250 million people) live within 20 miles of a Starbucks.
4. Your rent is higher when you live closer to a Starbucks location. This isn't necessarily because of Starbucks, although proximity to one might be considered a perk. Starbucks likes to place locations in urban areas, and urban areas generally charge higher rents. Davenport pointed to the Rentonomy blog, which analyzed Starbucks sites in London and found that for every half of a kilometer a property sits from a Starbucks, the rent falls by an average of 20% (up to 2.5 kilometers away).
You can see your nearby Starbucks locations by entering your address at this site.
Davenport said his project came out of a discussion about data companies selling lists of business locations for high prices. These companies sell the Starbucks database for nearly $200, he added. "It was a natural fit for a project, once some data-savvy friends and I decided to gather the SBUX location data ourselves," he said in an email interview.
What conclusions did he draw after crunching the numbers? "Starbucks does a fantastic job of providing coffee coverage for the U.S.," he said. "I think this project shows just how much Starbucks is part of the American experience."
