Keywords: Studio Apartment includes boat slip with access to Lake Michigan
We love living in Northwest Michigan and truly appreciate Mother Nature's beauty. Having the opportunity to meet others who have also discovered or just discovering this little piece of God's county is a joy. After a day of hiking, biking, boating, beaching, or whatever the activity, there is nothing like a campfire, warm shower and comfortable bed!
The Owner purchased this studio in 2004
We SO enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this suite! Spotlessly clean and everything you could need! The owners were so easy to work with as well. We'll definitely be back!
My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The suite was very clean and comfortable, and we loved how close it was to the beach. We already have plans to make a trip back in the future! It was a nice getaway and very private too.
We stayed here for a wedding that we were attending. It was a beautiful suite above a garage with plenty of amenities for a couple like ourselves. As avid beach goers and boaters, we thoroughly enjoyed being so close to two beautiful lakes.
We have stayed here twice. Very nice studio for weekend getaways. Well maintained and supplied. Owners are very quick to communicate and very pleasant.
Perfect nest for tow adults. The apartment is well organized, clean and maintained. The owners are kind and helpful. The location is between the scenic harbor and backed by Lake Michigan, just over the dunes. Nice walking areas and incredible sunsets. Perfect place to recharge your batteries and rediscover romance.
This suite is as described. Sig and LuAnn have not missed a thing in making this unit as comfortable as possible. With the bed slid back, it is quite spacious. It is extremely clean. Kitchen space is comfortable for cooking meals. We are a 50+ couple and found this unit extremely comfortable for a 9 day stay. The property is on a small peninsula with Lake Arcadia on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. The beach on Lake Michigan is accessible via a 2 min car drive or a 10 minute walk. The owners home is very close to this unit, but they give you access to the entire property and they make themselves very scarce for your privacy. That said, they are readily available and very friendly if you need anything . Beach is very nice. We greatly enjoyed our stay - THANK YOU LuAnn and Sig.

The Architectural Review Committee currently has two vacancies and a potential third vacancy coming up this summer. The committee meets on an "as needed" basis, frequently communicates by email to receive and send ARC requests, and also hold face to face meetings when necessary to review a homeowner's request. Occasionally we need to visit the homeowner's property to better understand the nature of the request.
The March 2016 Newsletter is now available. You can read it here.
The architectural guidelines for our development were last revised and approved on July 16, 2009. Since then there have been many changes in materials available, replacement windows, deck stains, paint colors, and light fixtures. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) has gone through the current guidelines and made a list of these changes and updates that will be easier for homeowners to understand. Remember, if you are planning to make any exterior improvements, alterations or significant repairs (e.g.

The first and only two-day break between playoff games saw both the Hawks and Sharks taking to the ice for practice.
The Blackhawks theme of the day, of course, is reversing the trend of average play at home.
The news that the team will stay in a hotel Friday afternoon, after their morning practice, didn't come as a complete shock.
The "road routine" has worked so well, why not try to bring it home? Simply put, there is no downside. A case could be made that the team should have stayed in a hotel Thursday night as well—John Madden said his New Jersey squad stayed in hotels in similar circumstances.
Joel Quenneville chose the Friday option saying he wanted to just "change things up." He used similar terminology in explaining the Hawks' decision to take the day off last week in San Jose and visit Alactraz Island. The Hawks went on to win their first opening game in a playoff series since 2009, so maybe changing it up is all that's needed.
Quenneville is going with the status quo in regards to his lineup, and that's no surprise either. Despite a close affair in Game 1 of this round, the Hawks have played three solid contests dating back to their elimination game of the Vancouver Canucks in Game 6 of that series.
Perhaps the biggest surprised of the day was Sharks coach Todd McLellan's casual admittance that he might mix and match his top two lines for Game 3.
Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, and Dany Heatley are a combined minus-12 in the first two games, having done very little during five-on-five play. Breaking them up would constitute a major change of philosophy for the Sharks. Remember, this trio made the Olympics and played together as a line in Vancouver. They've been a top line in the NHL all season.
"There's a real good chance of that," McLellan said. "Obviously, we talk again of the match scenario. We've only scored three goals in the series. We have to find a way to be a little more offensive."
Though dramatic, it's a good move. If the Hawks had scored only two goals that mattered in two games, Quenneville would most certainly be changing things. More than the stats, the eye test tells you the Thornton line has issues as its constituted--and that's with the Sharks getting last change at home. With Dave Bolland ready and waiting now at the United Center, every time the big three jump over the boards, it makes sense to try something different. Keeping one or two of the Sharks stars away from him, in particular, sounds like a smart proposition.
McLellan explained some of the frustration after their Game 2 loss. He liked the idea of the players being mad but now wants them to turn the page.
"We as a group, as a team, likely won't be good enough to beat Chicago and frustration," McLellan said. "We have to pick one or the other. If we end up trying to beat the frustration all the time, we won't have enough left in our tanks to beat Chicago."
One enigma for San Jose is how they reacted after being scored on first in Game 2. McLellan said as much after the game and some players, including winger Ryane Clowe, echoed that sentiment on Thursday.
"I didn't like how we responded," Clowe said. "Throughout this whole playoffs we've never let anything like that get to us. Last game is probably the only game we responded in a wrong way."
Maybe it was an aberration, but if the Hawks can take a lead early again, the United Center crowd may take care of the rest.

Novel Perturbation Theory in Simple LCAO Treatment of Conjugated Molecules—Method of Perturbed Secular Determinant31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730344View Description Hide Description
A new method of perturbation theory is developed in the simple LCAO MO treatment of conjugated molecules. Several useful equations are derived, giving orbital energy, electron density, and bond order of the perturbed system.
Chemical Bond. III. A One‐Dimensional Theory of the Energetics and Ionic Character of the Hydrogen Bond31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730345View Description Hide Description
The bondproperties of a first row element bonded to a hydrogen atom are calculated from one‐dimensional counterparts of the atomic orbitals. The potential energy function and the ionic character are found to be correctly predicted.
The hydrogen bond system O–H···O is described by means of the same atomic wave functions. The potential energy of the system is obtained for various positions of the hydrogen atom. Predicted properties are in good agreement with experiment. The existence of a second potential minimum is indicated. The contributions of the resonating structures of the system are obtained and are shown to lead to the observed value of dμ/dr for the hydrogen bonded OH system.
Hydrogen Bond: An Experimental Verification of the Double Minimum Potential31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730346View Description Hide Description
The spectra of alcohols in the region of the first and second OH stretching overtone in solvents of various bonding strengths reveal a pair of solvent dependent absorption bands. These bands are shown to arise from an energy level splitting resulting from a double minimum in the potential energy curve for the proton. The form that the potential energy curve must assume to yield the observed spectra is such that the second minimum lies in the region of the v=2 vibrational energy level for ordinary hydrogen bonding situations. The higher overtone bands, particularly in strongly basic solvents, are characteristic of the broad potential well.
This observed splitting of the absorption bands of hydrogen bonded alcohols confirms the theoretical predictions of a double minimum potential energy function for the proton.
Validity and Consequences of Schreinemakers' Theorem on Ternary Distillation Lines31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730347View Description Hide Description
The tangential behavior of distillation lines in a ternary mixture, as brought forward by Schreinemakers more than half a century ago, was denied some time ago by Redlich and Kister. We give another proof of the correctness of Schreinemakers' theorem. We define parameters Q 0 governing the course of the distillation lines in each corner of the composition triangle. The Q 0 values are, in principle, derivable from accurate binary boiling point curves. The occurrence of distillation lines with one or two points of inflection in a ternary system without complications from azeotropes or demixing is discussed at some length.
Physically Meaningful Concepts31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730348View Description Hide Description
A statement on distillation lines, made by Schreinemakers and repeated by Korvezee and Meijering, lacks any physical meaning.
Theory of the Electron Spin Resonance of Benzene in the Triplet State31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730349View Description Hide Description
The splitting of the energy levels of the lowest triplet state of the benzene molecule has been calculated. The splittings were calculated with the aid of first‐order perturbation theory from antisymmetrized wave functions, which were composed of linear combinations of Slater orbitals. In the absence of an exterior magnetic field the triplet levels are split as a consequence of the spin‐spin interaction, the effect of spin‐orbit interaction may be neglected. The result is a doublet and a singlet; the separation of the two levels is 0.15 cm—1 for the 3 B 1u state and 0.09 cm—1 for the 3 B 2u state.
Theoretical Depolymerization Kinetics in Polymers Having an Initial ``Most Probable'' Molecular Weight Distribution31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730350View Description Hide Description
The kinetic equations describing a general chain mechanism of depolymerization are solved at steady state for a polymer having an initial ``most probable'' molecular weight distribution. Chain scission initiation, end group initiation, depropagation, intermolecular chain transfer, and several types of termination are considered.
In the past, solutions have been limited to special cases and approximations. Now general expressions for molecular weight change and rate of weight loss are available for polymers with an initial molecular weight distribution of wide interest. The relationships to the previously considered special cases are discussed.
Deuterium Positions in Lanthanum Deuteroxide by Neutron Diffraction31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730351View Description Hide Description
The deuterium positions in La(OD)3 have been determined by the neutron diffraction method. No hydrogen bonding was found in this structure. The close packing structure around the deuterium atom is characterized by the average distances of D—D = 2.29 A and D—O = 2.74 A. The infrared absorption spectra of La(OD)3 and La(OH)3 are briefly discussed.
Structures of Calcium Dicarbide and Uranium Dicarbide by Neutron Diffraction31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730352View Description Hide Description
The C–C distances of the C2 groups in calcium dicarbide and uranium dicarbide have been determined by the powderneutron diffraction method. The C–C distance in calcium dicarbide is 1.20±0.01 A, equal to the triple bond C–C distance, but not 1.4 A as reported previously. Uranium dicarbide is isostructural with calcium dicarbide and has the C–C distance of 1.34±0.01 A essentially that of a C–C double bond. The interatomic distances in calcium dicarbide, uranium dicarbide, lanthanum dicarbide, and lanthanum sesquicarbide are discussed in connection with the electronic configuration of the C2 group.
Thermodynamic Properties of Some Boron‐Oxygen‐Hydrogen Compounds31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730353View Description Hide Description
The heat capacity,enthalpy, and entropy of gaseous B, B2, BH, BO, and B2O2 have been calculated in the ideal gas state from 0 to 6000°K by standard methods of statistical mechanics with available spectroscopic data.
Field Desorption31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730354View Description Hide Description
A theory of field desorption covering both covalent and ionic binding is presented. The mechanism corresponds to field ionization preceded by complete or partial ordinary desorption in the former and to direct ionic evaporation in the latter case. Comparison with experiment shows that field desorption of Ba can proceed via Ba+ or Ba+2. It is pointed out that field desorption could be used to investigate the shapes of potential curves in adsorption.
Electron Spin Resonance of Ultraviolet Irradiated Compounds. I. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730355View Description Hide Description
Trapped radicals, formed by ultraviolet irradiation of pure, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, maintained at 77°K, have been observed with a 3‐cm electron spin resonancespectrometer at a g factor of two. Straight‐chain alkene radicals were characterized by well‐resolved hyperfine structure of four or more components. Branched‐chain alkene radicals showed more but poorly resolved components. Only those hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms at or adjacent to the location of the unpaired electron are found to contribute appreciably to the observed hyperfine structure. Their hyperfine coupling constants are approximately equal.
Radical formation and stabilization is attributed to the separation from the parent molecule of highly mobile hydrogen and methyl radicals which diffuse away from the remaining radical fragments, and eventually react with their environment or recombine. Stabilization of remaining fragments then occurs because of immobility and structural resonance. The number of radical spins detected was of the order of 1016 to 1018 in 1‐ml samples. Most radicals were stable for weeks at 77°K. Consideration is given to the existence of radicals resulting from secondary hydrogen addition reactions.
Effect of Pressure on the Absorption Edges of Certain Elements31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730356View Description Hide Description
The effect of pressure has been measured on the absorption edges of selenium, arsenic, white phosphorus, red phosphorus, and iodine. In all cases a red shift of the edge (decrease of the energy gap) occurs with increasing pressure. White phosphorus undergoes a transition to the conducting black phase near 30 000 atmos. The change in the gap with pressure for selenium is correctly predicted from conductivity measurements. An extrapolation of the gap to zero indicates that the gaps of these elements will have disappeared below 300 000 atmos. This compares with previous work on sulfur where the estimated pressure for zero gap is 400 000 atmos.
Growth Mechanism for Graphite Whiskers31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730358View Description Hide Description
A mechanism is described which gives rise to the scroll habit which has been observed for graphitewhiskers. A supersaturation region exists which would favor the postulated growth mechanism.
On the Use of Harmonic Oscillator Wave Functions in the Treatment of Anharmonic Crystals31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730359View Description Hide Description
An analysis is made of the quantum‐mechanical treatment of a crystal as a perturbed harmonic oscillator. The relative magnitudes of the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix with harmonic oscillatorwave functions as a basis, are obtained for an anharmonic crystal. It is found that the harmonic oscillatorwave functions are extremely poor approximations (in the ordinary sense) to the true wave functions.
Proton Spin Relaxation in Aqueous Solutions of Paramagnetic Ions. II. Cr+++, Mn++, Ni++, Cu++, and Gd+++31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730360View Description Hide Description
Nuclear magnetic relaxation times for protons in dilute aqueous solutions of chromic, manganous, nickel, cupric, and gadolinium ions were measured in the frequency range 1.9 to 60 Mc/sec. Results were interpreted in terms of Solomon's formulation of electron‐nuclear dipole‐dipole interaction and Bloembergen's expression for scalar coupling of electron and nuclear spins. In large magnetic fields relaxation times were found to be shorter than those expected on the basis of low field values, suggesting that the effective ion magnetic moments, electron spin relaxation times, and/or electron‐nuclear spin exchange constants are field‐dependent.
Statistical Mechanics of Rigid Spheres31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730361View Description Hide Description
An equilibrium theory of rigid sphere fluids is developed based on the properties of a new distribution functionG(r) which measures the density of rigid sphere molecules in contact with a rigid sphere solute of arbitrary size. A number of exact relations which describe rather fully the functional form of G(r) are derived. These are based on both geometrical considerations and the virial theorem. A knowledge of G(a) where a is the diameter of a rigid sphere enables one to arrive at the equation of state. The resulting analytical expression which is exact up to the third virial coefficient gives the fourth virial coefficient within 3% and the fifth, insofar as it is known, within 5%. Furthermore over the entire range of fluid density, the equation of state derived from theory agrees with that computed using machine methods. Theory also gives an expression for the surface tension of a hard sphere fluid in contact with a perfectly repelling wall. The dependence of surface tension on curvature is also given. The expressions obtained correlate nicely with those adduced by other thermodynamic and statistical mechanical theories. They also suggest that macroscopic consideration on surface tension can sometimes be successfully extrapolated to molecular dimensions.
Semiquantitative United‐Atom Treatment and the Shape of Triatomic Molecules31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730362View Description Hide Description
The united‐atom expansion of the potential energy of an electron in a molecular field is transformed into a Maclaurin series expansion containing a remainder term. It is shown that, if the center of nuclear charge is chosen to remain at the origin, the first nonzero terms of this expansion are quadratic in the nuclear separations. These terms determine the orbital properties as the nuclei in the united atom are slightly separated, and are useful in establishing correlation diagrams. Several such diagrams are given for triatomic molecules. The angular derivatives of the quadratic terms are used in an investigation of the angular stability of linear molecules composed of atoms from the second row of the periodic table. It is found that these derivatives themselves correctly indicate the linearity or nonlinearity of all except 26 electron systems, and that the nonlinearity of 26 electron systems is accounted for if internuclear repulsions are taken into account. Extensions and limitations of this result, and its implications with respect to theories of molecular shape are briefly discussed.
Expected Square of the Length of a Hydrocarbon‐Type Chain31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730363View Description Hide Description
Three successive bonds along a hydrocarbon chain may be in a planar trans configuration or in two nonplanar gauche configurations. The energy of the trans configuration is taken as zero and the energies of the two gauche configurations are each taken as ε (per mole). The mean square length of a hydrocarbon‐type chain of n links each of length l 0 is shown to be , where . The problem of excluded volume is not considered here.
Microwave Spectrum and Structure of Propynal (H–C≡C–CHO)31(1959); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1730364View Description Hide Description
The moments of inertia IB 0 and IC 0 of fifteen isotopic species of propynal have been determined from the frequencies of certain lines in the type aspectra. With the aid of type b transitions, IA 0 and the inertial defects Δ have been obtained for some of the isotopic species. Using equations relating the atomic coordinates to the change in the moments of inertia on isotopic substitution, three independent sets of molecular parameters have been obtained (two for C=O). The agreement between the three sets of data is within the probable experimental error. The mean values of the molecular parameters are as follows: rs (C–H) (acet.) = 1.0553A, rs (C–H) (ald.) = 1.1064A, rs (C≡C) = 1.2089A, rs (C–C) = 1.4446A, rs (C=O) = 1.2150A, ≰CCO = 123°47′, ≰CCC = 178°24′, ≰CCH (ald.) = 113°54′, ≰CCH (acet.) = 180°0′.
The error in the bond lengths is estimated to be ±0.001 A, and in the angles ±10′. A slight deviation from linearity (1°36′±10′) was apparent in the carbon chain.

After the success of ESPN's new 30 for 30 films in the fall, two more are planned for the spring. One will focus on Jim Valvano and the 30th aniversary of his 1983 NC State national champions. The other will highlight the 30 year anniversary of the 1983 NFL Draft, which saw 6 quarterbacks taken in the first round and would shape the league for years to come. Survive and Advance, which will air on March 17th at 9 PM on ESPN tells the story of the NC State Wolfpack team that came into the ACC Tournament needing to win the automatic berth to make the NCAA Tournament. Of course, Valvano's Wolfpack won both the ACC and NCAA Tournaments, beating Houston in the National Title game in dramatic fashion, cementing one of the most famous underdog stories in sports. The film will be directed by Jonathan Hook and told through the eyes of NC State captain Dereck Whittenburg. Elway to Marino, which will air on April 23rd at 9 PM on ESPN, tells the story of the 1983 NFL Draft, which ended up being one of the most significant in the history of the league. The film will be told through the eyes of the notable players drafted, including John Elway and Dan Marino, the executives, and agents involved in the draft. Both films seem like a slam dunk for ESPN and perfect fits for the 30 for 30 series. Both will be airing at relevant times (much like the Bo Jackson film premiering after the Heisman ceremony in December) with Survive and Advance airing on Selection Sunday and Elway to Marino airing during the week of the NFL Draft. It's an ingenious programming tie-in from ESPN, and something that should definitely result in more eyeballs. [ESPN]

A designer is drawing attention to art he designed for Spike Lee's new film Oldboy, which he says was used without his permission after walking away from the ad agency that commissioned them.
Juan Luis Garcia posted an open letter to the director on Wednesday, saying he was contacted by an ad agency earlier in the year to create concept designs for posters that might eventually be used for Lee's new film, which opens this weekend.
Garcia says he was told that Lee chose to use his designs, but the agency made "an insultingly low offer" for the work, saying the exposure would be worth it. He declined, and that's when Garcia said things got ugly.
"They told me that I didn't want to mess with Spike Lee, that I would never work again, that I was a despicable human, that they wish they never met me," he wrote.
Garcia's mock-ups were then posted to Spike Lee's promotional Facebook page, with Lee's copyright added to the images. Garcia's name does not appear on the images.
One of the movie's official promotional posters also strongly resembles one of Garcia's mock-ups. He posted a side-by-side comparison of the two on his blog.
Facebook users flood Lee's page
In an email exchange with The Hollywood Reporter, Garcia says he has been overwhelmed by the response to his open letter. "My inbox is being inundated with support from the design community," he says. "This seems to happen far too often and simply isn't right."
He also explained why he chose the public route, posting an open letter instead of taking legal action. "I don't want to sue anyone, it's not in my nature," he said. "I'm thrilled [Lee] liked the posters and hope they continue using them, but I need to be remunerated."
Users have bombarded Lee's Facebook page with hundreds of comments that include links to Garcia's open letter, calling for the designer to be paid for his work, or to remove the images.
"The person who designed this poster has not been given credit or compensation," writes Facebook user Graham Post. "The fact that it's not being used in the director's public Facebook account is disgraceful."
Lee responded to the controversy on Twitter Wednesday, saying he has never heard of Garcia, calling the open letter a "cheap trick."
I Never Heard Of This Guy Juan Luis Garcia,If He Has A Beef It's Not With Me.I Did Not Hire Him,Do Not Know Him.Cheap Trick Writing To Me.YO— Spike Lee (@SpikeLee)

Since Indiana Jones first appeared on-screen with his fedora, bullwhip, and leather jacket in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, his character has inspired a slew of films, television shows, video games, toys, and theme-park rides. But it will always be the first film, directed by Steven Spielberg and co-produced by George Lucas, about a snake-hating archaeologist who goes in search of a golden idol in an ancient Peruvian temple and ends up fighting the Nazis in the Egyptian city of Tanis that holds a special place in fans' hearts. Tonight, hop aboard for adventure with Indy and his crew. But go with caution—Bryant Park might be booby-trapped.

Vicious Circle Lyrics
Artist: Vader
Album: Darkest Age: Live '93
Necromancy, the rites of dementia
See what the death looks like
Souls from the limbo, coming with eternal flames
Arrive into circle of trembling hands
No inferno but also no heavens
No god on his golden throne
Promised Eden turned into desert
Empty space and dead remains
Spectral mouth tells hopeless truth
In unknown words massacring the mind
There is nothing after life
What we can imagine now and here
Infinity full of posthumous nothing
Greed of immorality
Is only despair now
Caught in the waiting for nowhere
Selling the souls for oblivion's price
"I must be immortal"
Nocturnal stagnacy as I burn my candles
Sanity now dozes and waits for a day
Nightly mares in their real dimensions
No hope now...
Soon I will die...
No inferno but also no heavens
No god on his golden throne
Promised Eden turned into desert
Empty space and dead remains
Vader Lyrics

"In their fascinating analysis of the recent history of information technology, H. Peter Alesso and Craig F. Smith reveal the patterns in discovery and innovation that have brought us to the present tipping point. . . .
A generation from now, every individual will have personally tailored access to the whole of knowledge . . . the sooner we all begin to think about how we got here, and where we're going, the better. This exciting book is an essential
first step."
—From the Foreword by James Burke
Many people envision scientists as dispassionate characters who slavishly repeat experiments until "eureka"—something unexpected happens. Actually, there is a great deal more to the story of scientific discovery, but seeing "the big picture" is not easy. Connections: Patterns of Discovery uses the primary tools of forecasting and three archetypal patterns of discovery—Serendipity, Proof of Principle, and 1% Inspiration and 99% Perspiration—to discern relationships of past developments and synthesize a cohesive and compelling vision for the future. It challenges readers to think of the consequences of extrapolating trends, such as Moore's Law, to either reach real machine intelligence or retrench in the face of physical limitations. From this perspective,the book draws "the big picture" for the Information Revolution's innovations in chips, devices, software, and networks.
With a Foreword by James Burke and bursting with fascinating detail throughout, Connections: Patterns of Discovery is a must-read for computer scientists, technologists, programmers, hardware and software developers, students, and anyone with an interest in tech-savvy topics.

Intelligent presentation of Information Technology
Connection: Patterns of Discovery is an extension of the Connections TV-Series created and narrated by science historian James Burke. Burke wrote the Foreword for this book. This book is a fine extension to the themes in that popular TV-Series. In a few hours of easy reading and some time to contemplate the ideas, the reader will be introduced to the history of computers, information technology, and the Internet. The book presents an overall view of the Information Age's innovations from vacuum tubes to transistors, computer devices, software, networking, and current artificial intelligence. The discussions of past developments in information technology are applied to a framework for patterns of discovery which leads to extrapolations of future trends, such as the Perfect Search, information availability for everyone, and ubiquitous real machine intelligence. Forecasts are extrapolated for the next twenty years for each of the key technology areas such as computers, software, devices, and networks. In addition to providing a framework for extrapolating trends, the patterns of discovery make interesting reading. These are human stories. One learns how technology is developed and in many instances it serves as an example of how obstacles are overcome so that one should follow their dreams. Some of our best innovators left college early. The book includes a good Bibliography and Glossary. The glossary provides a good bridge for those interested in the history of computer technology but not well versed in traditional and necessary 'Geek' speak. Some necessary technical details are provided but in general the book is easy reading as it provides the 'Big Picture' of innovation.

Marijuana App Coming to an iPhone Near You Promises to Tell You What Kind of Bud You're Smoking (Trip Out, Right?)
It always amazed us that, in a world where marijuana is supposed to be medicine, so little is known about what, exactly, different strains and types do to your membrane. Sure, there are buds named for Chuck Norris and Michael Phelps, and your friendly, neighborhood dispenser will tell you this or that weed is really for a head high (versus a body high).
Hmm. Well, one tech company is promising that it can use facial-recognition-like technology to take a look at your bud, tell you what kind it is, and recommend similar strains you might like. It'll even direct you to a pot shop. Not exactly your local pharmacist, but pretty amazing.
And the folks behind BrainStrain.com say it's coming to an app near you. CEO Jason Draizin:
StrainBrain is breaking new ground for the medical marijuana industry. It combines the latest technology to give patients a new level of visibility into their medicine, letting them know exactly what strain they have, and helping them find a legal source to purchase it from.
What's most interesting about the technology, which so far is web-based only (you go to their site and upload a pic of your favorite bud) is that there's also a feature that will let you input your ailments: It will spit out strains that could work for you.
We don't need to stinking app to tell us Chuck Norris kicks ass.

When being assigned to a sexual assault investigation the law enforcement investigator should begin the assignment by creating an Investigative Case Action Plan (ICAP). An ICAP is an outline of how the investigator will approach the investigation, the tasks he/she will perform, the order of who will be interviewed, the examination, evaluation, and analyzation of evidence, criminal history of the victim, witness, and perpetrator, etc. All of these tasks need to be documented by the investigator so he/she has a check and balance list which will assist in pursuing if a crime did or didn't take place. In this video Lawrence W. Daly, Chief Sexual Assault Investigative Educator for the One Daly Corporation raises several issues surrounding the reasons and utilization of the ICAP in a sexual assault investigation.

By Gini Dietrich
I was in a meeting the other day with the chief executive officer and the chief marketing officer of an organization that is right on the tipping point of success.
They've done a lot of the right things: Their sales team has the right connections, they're gaining industry recognition, and they have the right people both setting the strategy and executing on it.
But when we asked what they do differently than their competitors, the silence was deafening.
So we tried the question another way, "What makes you excellent?"
Again, no answer.
That's not entirely true. They did try to answer it, but they couldn't come to a consensus.
Much to the surprise of my team, I cut the meeting short. I closed my notebook (yes, I still carry a notebook), pushed back my chair, and said, "Gentlemen, you're not ready for us yet."
Sure, a communications firm can help an organization figure out their messaging and positioning, but if they don't have the slightest inkling of what it is before they spend money on PR, it's pretty likely the firm isn't going to succeed.
Are You Ready to Hire a PR Firm?
So how do you know if you're ready to hire a PR firm?
- Know what PR is in today's digital age. Yes, a good majority of PR firms will still pitch themselves to you as a media relations house. They'll call themselves a PR firm, but all they'll do for you is pitch stories on your behalf. I am telling you right now, if you hire a firm that only does media relations, you will think it's a huge waste of time and money about six months from now. I hear it all the time. "Oh they were great at getting stories about us, but it didn't really do anything. It was a waste of money." Seeing your name in print is great for your ego, but it does not make the cash register ring. If the firms you interview don't talk about how to integrate media relations into a larger communications (or marketing) program, you will feel like you've wasted your money.
- Be ready to share your business goals. And this means even in the introductory meetings. Have them sign a non-disclosure agreement, if that makes you feel better, but don't hide your goals. We once had a prospect tell us their search engine optimization had decreased significantly and they didn't know why. When we asked for access to their analytics, they didn't want to give it to us. We can't help you if we don't know what you're trying to achieve.
- Have realistic expectations. If the PR firm is worth its salt, you will spend some money on it and you can expect a return on your investment anywhere from two to five times what you pay them. BUT it won't happen overnight. It won't even happen in 90 days. It will take at least six months for you to begin seeing a return. That said, most will be able to give you metrics to track from day one that show whether or not you're on the right path. Ask for those.
- Ask yourself if you have the time to spend with the firm. Communications does not happen in a vacuum and your involvement is pretty necessary. If you – or someone on your team – does not have at least an hour every day to spend on PR, you're not ready to hire a firm. Without your help and your involvement, the PR firm will only get so far. They don't know your business as well as you do and, as it turns out, customers, prospects, journalists, and influencers would rather talk to you than some middle man. Your PR firm can create those conversations for you, but you have to have them.
- Be willing to take some risk. Technology has completely changed the way a PR professional does his or her job. Using the web – and socia media, in particular – means you're going to build your brand and gain awareness much more quickly than in the past. It also means you'll be under some scrutiny. Make sure your PR firm has experience with crises on the web and be willing to let them get you out there. The more uncomfortable it is for you, the more likely it is to work.
- Be uncomfortable. There is nothing worse than a prospect saying they want out-of-the-box thinking, and then asking for really boring, non-sexy strategies. If the PR firm doesn't make you a little uncomfortable when you meet with them the first few times, nothing you do together will be extraordinary. It's the discomfort that gets us to stretch beyond what we think we can do. Let them guide you down that path.
Of course, if you aren't ready for a PR firm, there are lots of other options you have. You can hire someone internally, you can do some of the PR yourself, or you can hire a freelancer or soloproneur.
Knowing when you're ready to hire a PR firm is the first step in your success.
A version of this first appeared in my weekly AllBusiness Experts column.

Howie Goldfarb You're special Howie……..
Howie Goldfarb Sometimes…but there wasn't any love in the room. No chemistry. So we cut our losses.
bdorman264 We had a managing director who used to say, "One of our goals should be to have F you money. When we get to that point, we'll be able to scale." That means being able to walk away in a meeting.
Great post – and great posture relative to the prospect (once again, being honest serves agency and client the best). I particularly appreciate the last two, related points about risk and getting out of your comfort zone. Tough for companies to do, but it's almost impossible to really help them if they don't.
BTW, sounds like this client needs a good brand strategist to help identify their simple, differentiating truth… hint… hint…
creativeoncall I don't think it'd be a good client for you. I wouldn't refer them to anyone I know.
ginidietrich Thanks… I like having a professional advance team vetting prospects!
creativeoncall I'm glad I can help! 🙂
creativeoncall Oooo, I like that…"simple, differentiating truth." Nice.
Word Ninja Nothing works better.. at least, not in the long run. The truth, when clearly presented, is also self-evident and so requires less selling, and enables more believable "telling" (hmm… anybody into brand storytelling in this conversation?)
This is where I get into trouble. Or give away the store. I keep pressing w/ a few questions, shoot down the 'well we're local' answers w/ the 'so what? national X is better, faster, cheaper' and so on until they figure out why they're not ready for PR and the plans they need to make to get there. And FWIW, I am a Solo working on that overall communications strategy. Sigh.
3HatsComm I meant no offense…just that a solo would A LOT cheaper than a PR firm, which is what companies sometimes need in order to figure out how this all works.
ginidietrich No offense taken, really.. on a different scale sometimes, but we're often fighting these same "PR is so much more than publicity" battles as we convince TPTB that Communications is a strategic, essential business investment. So get ready to work on that brand statement, on that reputation – or keep it moving.
Fabulous points!
biggreenpen Grazi!
yvettepistorio It's been a long time coming. I didn't used to walk away from business.
By the way, I never understand how Livefyre picks out latest blog posts because that is not it.
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes It depends on the organization. This one, in particular, needed much more work than what we can do because it's all internal. They couldn't even agree, in a one hour meeting, what they are selling. No amount of branding or positioning or messaging can help that.
I have sat with several groups over the years listening to their thoughts on what makes their organization "distinctive." Several contrasting ideas are voiced, and yes, they all may be important qualities of that organization. But at some point, some leader-type has to say, yes, this is our distinctive, and this is what we're telling the world.
Word Ninja Yep…and that's what was missing here. The leader wasn't saying, "This is it." They were all talking over one another and disagreeing on everything.
ginidietrich An important part of deciding on a distinctive is knowing who your main audience/customer is. Organizations can serve various types of groups, and so people from different departments sometimes identify very different distinctives based on the type of group they most often serve.
ginidietrich Wow, say that sentence I wrote three times fast…
Word Ninja LOL!!
RobBiesenbach There definitely is a place for that, even in the work you and I both do. These guys weren't ready even for that.
ClayMorgan UG!!!!! I would have been so angry! ARGH!
ginidietrich Yea, I was very frustrated. A hard lesson learned.
…. and here's where I get lost in the particulars and dividing lines of the industry….why not help them figure it out?
photo chris With these guys, it was an internal issue. We could have helped them figure it out, but they wouldn't have agreed on it internally and they would have wasted their money. Until their leadership could agree, they couldn't expect anyone else in the organization to agree…let alone hire a PR firm to help tell their story.
ginidietrich photo chris I think this is amazing. Truly. To know your place well enough to know what works; and what will cause you to bang your head against the wall and frustrate everyone, and the ability and courage to walk away from something that you already deemed was at a tipping point of success… If you have a 1/10th of your bravery to share, I'll take it 🙂
photo chris It took a loooong time to get here. In the beginning of our business, there is no way I would have walked away from that. And then, six months from now, my team would be begging me to fire them.
Thank you for this! I feel so validated as a PR professional who has struggled with clients who don't get it and against others who say they do PR when all they do is media relations. PR is not media relations – yet so many PR professionals perpetuate that idea.
JennyBrooks IT IS NOT MEDIA RELATIONS! I'm with you – it gets exhausting when prospects call and say they want PR and all they really want is their name in the NY Times.
Really good post, and points we have made to clients and prospects time and time again. What we have encountered fairly recently is clients who expect a PR program to generate traffic and buzz immediately without any effort or additional expenditures on their part.
ToniAntonetti I JUST left a speaking engagement where I said no less than five times this is a time investment. It doesn't happen overnight.
I used all of this advice today to make sure a potential client was ready to work with a firm like ours (thankfully the answer seems to be yes.) Asked them to provide sales data, make a time commitment and made them outline specific exceptions. I love it when a blog has immediate impact! 🙂
HeatherTweedy OMG! Really?! That makes me so happy to hear!
All I can say is: yup.
a_greenwood Ha! You've always been a man of many words.
I'm biased, but I think it's incredibly important to have an internal PR person before hiring firm. At least for larger companies. A pivotal part of the internal PR pros job is to share information about new programs, ideas and generally be able to feed great concepts to the firm. Incredibly important — the success of both the firm and internal PR person is linked at the hip.
Frank: How do you determine what tasks are handled by the agency v. The ones you tackle internally? ~ Suzi
Thanks! You're a good dance partner!
I loved working with my agency. They sharpened me.
Conversely, I also loved working with my client, who taught me a lot when I was coming up in the business.
I was on vacation this week, so I am catching up on some Spin Sucks posts. This one really hits home because it is soooo true. I especially love the advice that you have to be willing to be uncomfortable and share some of your secrets. When you hire a PR firm, you are essentially building on your existing team. We are ALL on your team, regardless of whether we're in the same building. 🙂
I was also on vacation last week, so I missed this installment.
First off. lady you rock!!! Hats off to you for being able to call it off and speak your mind! I just love that abou you ginidietrich
We are delving into PR for SYDCON as you know. I agree you have to be open with the team you hire. And, for Pete's sake if we cant explain why we are different or awesome we sure as heck shouldnt expect someone else to be able to do it!

Yep, I gained weight from all that Fair Food
I promised I would share how much weight I gained with all the ridiculous eating I did during the Fair. I got on the scale the morning of Opening Day (August 7) and again at the same time of the morning after the Fair ended (August 17). I have tracked both my weight and my […]

The Final Fair Food Feast Parade!
Well, that's that. The end of my 10 days of gluttony. No more deep fried anything, no more chips, no more mayonnaise, no more carbonated sugar day after day. It was great fun but I gotta be honest, I have been craving a salad for three days. So here is the very last Fair Food […]

Next year's Fair has a new Court!
It has been a long, exciting, hair-sprayed day. Six young teen women have spent the day vying to be on the 2016 Clark County Fair Court. They have given speeches, done a few modeling turns on the runway, answered impromptu questions, and shown off their horsemanship skills in the horse arena. I followed them all […]

Fair Food Feast Parade ~ Day 9
Somehow my body knows the party is almost over. Boo! I can tell my appetite is slowing down and I'm not pleased. I should have added an ear of corn or a corn dog or something on a stick today. Instead, this is all we've got. So sad. Toni WoodardI […]

Mounted Patrol – Heroes on horseback
This year's Fair theme is superheroes. We all know about Superman and Spider-Man and their buddies. But did you know the Clark County Fair has its own real-life do-gooders keeping us safe and protected and helping us find our way in the darkness? And they do all that on horses. Awesome, right? Unintentionally hidden in […]
