The Universal Exercise Unit allows a patient to be suspended in the middle of a cage, with support provided by bungee cords that attach to a belt worn by the patient.

Great success through the specialized treatments at Genesis Pediatric Therapy in Coralville, IowaParent Story by: Jennifer Struss
Sawyer and his therapist, Maria-Teresa Ferrer, PT, DPT
When I was pregnant with our youngest child, Sawyer, my water broke unexpectedly when I was only 23 weeks along. Nine days later he was born, at just 24 weeks, weighing 1 lb. 12 oz. Since he was so small and fragile, he suffered significant bleeding in both sides of his brain. We were told that he would never walk, talk or eat independently. And with two older, "normal," siblings, this was devastating news to our family.
When Sawyer finally came home, he struggled with feeding (from a weak suck). And when he turned 6 months old and was not rolling over, I turned to outpatient physical therapy for assistance.
At about 8 months old, when Sawyer was not using his right hand or arm, I took him to his pediatrician and he was diagnosed with right side hemiplegia. I went online to find out what to do to help him, and I read about CIMT (constraint induced movement therapy). I was very pleased to also find it was being offered at Genesis Pediatric Therapy, so I immediately called for an appointment. Right from the beginning, we saw great results using CIMT.
Shortly after Sawyer turned 2, and was not yet walking, he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (spastic diplegia to be specific). When researching the newest and best treatments for this diagnosis, I was very pleased to see that Genesis had everything we needed! From serial casting to help with bone alignment in the leg and stretching tight muscles, to Cage and TheraSuit therapy for strengthening weak or unused muscles. One-stop therapy! We chose Genesis not only for the types of therapy available, but for the staff. All of the therapist are wonderful, and they all have the same goals for Sawyer as I do - we want him to be able to do everything, as functionally as possible.
Sawyer is now 3, and walks independently. Although his pattern is not perfect, we are still working and seeing improvements! I can't thank Genesis enough for the continued hope, and improvements I have seen in Sawyer. With their help, and hard work, I know he will reach his full potential!
To better understand your current condition, Genesis Physical Rehabilitation will request the completion of our history and intake form at your initial visit. For your convenience, please feel free to print and complete this document prior to your appointment. If you choose to complete the paperwork in advance, please be sure to bring the completed history and intake form to your initial evaluation.

We stayed for almost a week and loved every minute of it! The views are stunning, the driveto the slopes is a few short minutes or head to Main Street for shopping and dining! We will definitely be returning and hope we can stay here again! To wake up looking at the mountains with absolutely nothing to obstruct the view was fantastic! The house was wonderfully furnished with comfortable furniture and beds, plenty of room for the family to spread out and watch any of the multiple televisions at night or gather together and watch a movie together! Owner was great to work with throughout the planning and is local, so was very helpful! For the nightly rate, I don't think you can find a more accommodating place in such a perfect location! We did not bring our dog with us, however this is also a pet friendly option to discuss with the owner, which was one of the original draws for the property, which can be hard to find in a private residence. It was a 2 minute drive to Walmart and the grocery store; less than 5 minutes to the ski resort or Main Street. We were able to snow mobile (and be picked up 2 minutes from the Chalet) spend 3 days on the slopes, make multiple trips to Main Street for dinner and shopping and enjoy the ski resort at our own leisurely pace. The shops and local dining choices were fantastic with lots of local flavor and unique finds! We have visited Colorado on many occasions and found Steamboat to be by far the most charming, rustic, laid back and have the absolute friendliest locals of any of the places we've been. We enjoyed our stay so much we brought home several real estate books with us! We'd give it 10 stars if we could!!!
This how was amazing! Beautiful house, nestled in on a hillside, overlooking the river located right outside of town.
We have been to Steamboat 20 or so times over the last ten years and this is the best place we have ever stayed. Can't wait to be back here in the winter to use the hot tub after a long day on the slopes!
Summer in Steamboat is so great! Lot's to do. The Hammer Chalet's view is to die for. Even in the summer. We had 8 people and there was enough room for all of us. Flat screen TVs in every room! We had a few days in Steamboat in the 90's and The Hammer Chalet was cool as could be. Loved sitting on the deck with the beautiful lush green mountain meadows, and the view is everything. Everyone should stay at The Hammer Chalet. Best trip ever!!!! Best summer spot ever.. will rebook again next summer…
Our stay at the house was amazing. The inside of the house was spacious and the view from the living room and porch was beautiful. Everything was clean and the master suite was very nice. The house is only a few minutes from the slopes and from downtown.
Our 6 day/5 night stay was spectacular! The activities and dining were also superb! But, what it ALL centered around were the accommodations! This house is spacious and open. Huge windows provide a truly breathtaking views of the ski slopes! While it is located fairly near to other houses, there is a VERY high degree of privacy. The hot tub is RIGHT out the master bedroom door, on a secluded deck where one could easily opt for a clothing optional hot tub dip! The 2 fireplaces are spectacular and are great to cozy up to during the evening or take a cool edge off in the morning. The kitchen has nearly every utensil one could need along with pots, pans, etc. Plenty of towels. One simply needs to show up with personal luggage. It is located very close to major department and grocery stores. The master bathtub was not working due to a leak but the property manager, Peter, made contact with us but since there was the hot tub, we weren't worried about the bath tub. Peter provided literature and suggestions and was genuinely interested in making our stay the best it could be. We would definatly return.
Beautiful view and home. We went in the summer and there are no blinds on main floor living area and kitchen. The whole house was super hot and miserable all day long but needs central air.

And when you've gone
What now?
Whose laugh will I hear
As ripples of flesh
Role down and up again
In mirthful
Whose baleful eyes will hold mine
While tales of woe are told?
And whose baby girl will I behold
In wonder
And smile at the baleful likeness?
Not yours
For both are gone
And the hole left behind
Is fathomless.

Genre: Poetry
This is.. I don't know how to explain how I feel when I read this. The emotions are raw. That much I can tell. I am sorry for your loss..
Sadness beyond words. So sorry to hear of your loss. One the shock of her passing has wained I wish that the joy of her life lives on with all those who loved her
Irwin, a beautiful poem for what must have been a beautiful person; sorry for your loss!
Oh, My!
I heard you read this to me, and even in your trained voice, I could hear the strain. When life stops so abruptly we are always shattered, like pieces of earth stricken from an earthquake.
I am so so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to your family and Claire's family.
(P.S. My oldest daughter's name is Claire. It's such a beautiful name. It means "Bright".)
This is so very sad. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us here. Such a very sad poem and I am sooo sorry for your loss. (and your familys!)
very touching words and recitation. I too am sorry for your loss and sorry also I come here so rarely these days that this one "passed me by"
I hope you are keeping well
Hello Anna. Thank you for your comments. It is over a year now since Claire died but she is still missed and the tragedy continues with the effects on those left behind. I am keeping as well as I can expect to be given the numerous assaults on my body, nothing too serious, just the number on them! I hope in turn you too are keeping well. I do miss your presence and the little bulbs continue to flicker and stutter, alarmingly at times. Take care.
Short yet, yet delivers a punch of sadness, seldom felt by mere words..
Sad indeed. Wonderfully penned my friend.
Hi Irwin... Beautifully penned tribute to someone who died far too young, and preggers too... So sad... You said it all in the last two stanzas... Well done... Cheers... Jax

"Great service, quick delivery and kept informed "
"Quick service. Calls returned and responses to email received promptly."
"There was a slight delay from the expected delivery time of 2-3 weeks detailed on the website and the actual. An email to advise of this would have helped when your shipment details from abroad became known. Hence 4 stars instead of five."
"that was good."

Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Vibe
The Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Vibe encompasses all of the attributes and fish catching ability of Yo-Zuri's classic Rattlin' Vibe - now with Yo-Zuri's patented 3D Prism finish and Wave Motion Technology. The added flash and reflection helps attract attention and maintain its lifelike appearance, and a loud rattle helps call fish to the area.
Burn it back to the boat, stoke it off the bottom or rip it out of grass, the 3DB Vibe is also a great search bait perfect for covering a lot of water quickly. Available in a range of colors to help you match the conditions and forage of your local waters, the Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Vibe is a bait to be reckoned with.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I didnt have much success with any crankbait until I picked up the Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Vibe. I don't know what exactly turns fish on to this specific lipless but it works tremendous in small lakes and ponds for me. I normally burn it past lily pads and grass edges and get at least 3 fish from the same edge. I haven't tried around logs cause they are spendy and I don't want to lose them!
From: Isaac: Washington 2/11/17
Comments: I have nothing but good things to say about this bait. I got this bait from Lucky Tackle Box in the blue gill color and have easily caught 150 fish on it. On two occasions, I caught 2 bass at the same time! The hooks have never bent and are still sharp after all the beatings I've put this bait through. It is fairly scratch because of all the fish I've caught on it but that hasn't seemed to effect the production at all. I will definitely buy more in the future!
From: Fletcher: Charlotte, NC 1/10/17
Comments: What a KILLER bait! I used to use mostly Xcalibur XRs and this bait is just as good if not better. Great finish, tight wiggle, and durable as all heck. Been bringing the bass up all fall with this in OH
From: Michael: Medina, OH 9/26/15
Comments: Man, this thing flies! It has sharp hooks and awesome flash. It looks very convincing in the water and when you kill it, it drops head first and stays there like a feeding baitfish. That's usually when I get bites. I put an owner tournament trailer hook on the rear just for that purpose. Just rip it up a little and kill it again and the bass will slam it! Well made and effective, like all yo-zuri baits, you won't want to stop throwing it.

Sean Maitland, the New Zealand-born Scotland wing who had some decent moments on the Lions tour of Australia last summer, will not be having moments of any description against England this weekend. The 25-year-old "kilted kiwi" was concussed during his team's heavy defeat in Ireland on Sunday and also picked up a leg injury. He has no chance of recovering in time for Murrayfield.
Wales are considering recalling two of their most celebrated forwards, the flanker Sam Warburton and the loose-head prop Gethin Jenkins, for the tough visit to Dublin on Saturday. Warburton, the national captain who recently broke new ground by signing a central contract after months of speculation over his future, played 16 minutes off the bench against Italy after recovering from a shoulder injury, while Jenkins has been declared fit after knee problems.
Another top-class operator, the Scarlets outside centre Jonathan Davies, is also pushing for a recall after playing his first half of competitive rugby since tearing a pectoral muscle during the pre-Christmas internationals.
His regional colleague Scott Williams scored one of the Welsh tries against the Azzurri three days ago and would feel hard done by if he were to be demoted, but Davies seems certain to reclaim his place before the end of the tournament.
Scarlets confirmed yesterday that the 32-year-old former England midfielder Olly Barkley will spend the rest of the season in Llanelli. Barkley parted company with the French side Grenoble a week or so ago.
His old club Bath, meanwhile, reported some stayings and goings. The inside centre Kyle Eastmond, a member of the current England elite squad, agreed a two-year contract extension, while Nick Abendanon, capped twice at full-back, confirmed plans to play Top 14 rugby for Clermont Auvergne next season.Reuse content

Of Football, 'Footnote One,' and the Counter-Jurisdictional Establishment Clause: The Story of Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe
Paul Horwitz
University of Alabama School of Law
April 14, 2010
U of Alabama Public Law Research Paper No. 1589757
This article is a chapter in the forthcoming collection First Amendment Stories. It tells the story of Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, a case in which the United States Supreme Court struck down a school policy establishing an election mechanism that enabled student-led prayers before football games. It offers both a doctrinal and a human perspective on the case.
In particular, this article focuses on two issues. First, it argues that the first footnote in the Supreme Court's opinion in Santa Fe, recounting the strenuous efforts that both school officials and private citizens undertook to "ferret out" the identity of the anonymous plaintiffs in the case, deserves greater attention. "Footnote One" speaks volumes about why the election mechanism the school district tried to employ as a "circuit-breaker" between government speech and private speech failed, and more broadly about the meaning of the Establishment Clause in overwhelmingly religiously homogeneous jurisdictions.
Second, it argues that for similar reasons, there are good grounds for thinking about the Establishment Clause in a "counter-jurisdictional" fashion: that is, despite its own language, the Establishment Clause should, if anything, be more strictly maintained at the state and local level than at the national level. This suggestion, which follows from the lumpy rather than even nature of religious diversity in the United States, runs counter to an increasing trend on the Court and in legal scholarship in favor of a "jurisdictional" reading of the Establishment Clause which would apply it more loosely at the state and local level than at the national level.

Comments about KRK KNS-6400 Studio Headphones:
I use these at my church for the drum setup. It has a sound shield around it and is mic'd very well! These headphones block a ton of sound and have very good tones!
Comments about KRK KNS-6400 Studio Headphones:
I was really disappointed with how thin and tinny these sounded. I've been trying them in the studio for a few sessions now for tracking and everything sounds so harsh and brittle. I switched to a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's and found them to have vastly improved bass response and overall, more fullness and definition than the KRK's. On the plus side, they are comfortable and do isolate well, even with a loud drummer.
In addition, I A/B'd them just using my ipod and an older pair of pretty inexpensive AT's that I had lying around and in that application as well, the KRK's sounded shallow, metallic and really thin.
Comments about KRK KNS-6400 Studio Headphones:
These are good in terms of sounds and comfort. I agree a lot of what the first reviewer said... except for the suspicious fact that he says he is an experienced (33 years) engineer yet he says he would actually throw away headphones because of bad cables! They're good for tracking and even mixing. They don't translate as well as good neirfields, but they will work, and especially if used in a rotation of monitoring sources; but that is what any good mixer would do. Present mids and nothing overhyped in the lows and highs.
Comments about KRK KNS-6400 Studio Headphones:
and, it's no surprise it was KRK. I've used KRK V6 and V4 studio monitors for several years now and absolutely LOVE them. So, when I saw they had come out with headphones I was very interested. I've been using SONY 7506/V6 headphones for twenty years and, after comparing them with several brands in the recording studio, swore I'd never use ANYTHING else. My KRK's arrived today and I was first very impressed with the build quality and great features. A detachable, replaceable cord? YES! The attached, coiled cord on the SONY's has always been a design flaw in my book. And, I don't know HOW many pairs of phones, some very expensive, I've trashed in the recording studio after a client has stepped on, and shorted/pulled out, the cable. Next, the KRK's have replaceable ear and headband pads. Another SONY downfall. So,as great as all that is, none of it matters if they don't sound good. I pulled up the mix I'm currently working on, listened to it through the studio monitors "KRK V4's" then put on the KRK phones. VERY comfortable and great ear coverage. With my SONY's at hand, and ready to run a comparison, I hit play. The SONY's never came out of the bag. The KRK's sound EXACTLY like what I get from their studio monitors. There were none of the "well, maybe a bit odd in the mids or bass-heavy" thoughts. These things are amazing, and that's a tragic understatement. NO distortion at WAY too high volume levels, clarity to spare, and the most incredible fit/feel of any phones I've ever used. Sorry SONY. I'll always love ya but KRK just took your job. Final thought... GET THESE NOW!

Oh yeah, I have a day job. I often fantasize about how much I'd get done
if I were home all day. It probably is a fantasy though, I would have to
work hard against the temptation to be on the computer or read books all
On the plus side, I can retire in 7 years, and then I'll find out just
how much I get done. :-)

Out-fought away from home in the league and beaten with a goal from a set-piece: at least Robin Van Persie's Manchester United debut last night was not too much of a departure from all those years he spent at Arsenal.
After losing out in May in a title race that was decided on goal difference, it could hardly be denied that every point counts these days, even three that are dropped in August. For that alone, Sir Alex Ferguson will have reason to regret this defeat at Goodison Park, although there will be plenty more cause to look back in anger. Quite simply his team seemed to be caught cold on this warm night on Merseyside when they faced an Everton team who, from the very start, looked like the team most likely to command the game. In Marouane Fellaini, the match-winning goalscorer, Everton had the outstanding player of the game who left the pitch to a standing ovation when he was substituted in injury-time.
Unfortunately for United, Everton had the best five players on the pitch at the very least when you took into account the performances of Steven Pienaar, Leighton Baines and Sylvain Distin as well as Fellaini. For United, often so strong out of the traps in the seasons in which they win titles, this was a terrible way to start.
Van Persie came on for the last 20 minutes but he is still working his way into this United team and, other than taking charge of the corners, his effect was minimal. There were others in red shirts who looked decidedly off the pace, not least Wayne Rooney who scarcely troubled Tim Howard in the Everton goal.
United were simply not permitted to settle upon the ball for all but a brief period midway through the first half. Everton attacked them briskly and Fellaini, behind Nikola Jelavic, in the 4-4-1-1 formation was a problem for United that they never solved satisfactorily.
They had taken a pounding in the latter stages of the first half and it simply resumed when United took the pitch for the second half. Fellaini headed the ball down to Osman whose shot came off De Gea's bar and bounced down and out. Then, before the hour, the home side deservedly, finally, took the lead.
It was Carrick's job to mark Fellaini at corners although heaven knows why. Despite the danger posed by Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka, the latter of whom it was that Vidic picked up; the man of the moment was Fellaini. Then at last, Ferguson called for Van Persie, but the best chance that United created was a ragged opportunity for Tom Cleverley which was kicked off the line by Jagielka. That aside, it was a relatively comfortable victory for Everton.Reuse content

This year, several important video game lawsuits helped clarify the parameters for using a celebrity's likeness in video games. Generally speaking, courts have found that, unless you get permission, you can't put a celebrity in a video game doing exactly what they do for a living in real life. When I wrote about these cases earlier in the year, I joked that a game like "Lindsay Lohan: Escape from Rehab," simply would not work. Ironically, Lindsay Lohan may actually be filing a lawsuit soon over a game with some equally outrageous plot-lines. According to TMZ, Lohan is upset over a virtual character in the new smash-hit game Grand Theft Auto 5 (game cover pictured above).
So does Lindsay (who is no stranger to filing meritless right-of-publicity lawsuits) actually have a chance against the game's producer, Rockstar Games?
The Case for Lindsay
In Grand Theft Auto 5, players live in the fictional state of San Andreas (based on Southern California). The game involves stealing cars, pursuing the almighty dollar and generally living the thug life in the city of Los Santos (which closely resembles Los Angeles and actually includes many notable LA landmarks). Released on September 17, 2013, the game quickly became one of the best-selling games of all time, generating an astounding $1 billion in sales in its first three days.
So is Lindsay just trying to cash in on GTA5's wild success?
At the outset, legal principles of um…due diligence…(yeah let's go with that) compel us to make a thorough visual comparison:
Presumably, Lindsay might allege that this virtual GTA5 cover-girl bears a very striking resemblance to her. On top of any such visual similarities, one of the missions in GTA5 requires the player to escort the hottie look-a-like home to escape the paparazzi. If that wasn't enough, the virtual look-a-like also appears in one of the in-game missions set in the game's virtual version of the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood—a real-world place where Lindsay once lived and reportedly still patronizes. What is the in-game mission, you might ask? It's to photograph the look-a-like having sex on camera, of course!
Seriously, though, if Ms. Lohan actually brings this lawsuit, she would probably have to claim both physical resemblance and lifestyle resemblance to the alleged look-a-like—(the latter of which is, in this case, tantamount to declaring moral bankruptcy). Can she do it?
Problems With Lindsay's Case
As we have written about before, under the laws of most states, a person has the right to control the commercial use of her identity or "likeness." This right encompasses all of a person's distinctive characteristics. To establish a right of publicity claim, the plaintiff must prove misappropriation of her identity (among other things).
Unfortunately for Lindsay, justice-seeking internet sleuths have already created similar side-by-sides (undoubtedly for the sole and noble purpose of evaluating the legal merits of Lindsay's potential claim). As you can see (right), celebrity model Kate Upton, also looks quite similar to the GTA5 character. Even worse for Lindsay, the GTA5 character is actually based on a real person—and it's not Lindsay Lohan or Kate Upton—it's a model named Shelby Welinder.
This leaves only one unique-ish identifier for Lindsay: her patronage of the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. But how many GTA5 players actually get to that part of the mission and say to their fellow gamers, "Hold everything—I think we just entered Lindsay Lohan's distinctive hang-out spot" (followed by: "Let's keep our eyes out for sex tapes.")
Probably not very many.
First Amendment Defense
Even if other evidence existed to bolster Lindsay's case, she would still have to deal with what would probably be a formidable First Amendment defense from Rockstar Games. Unlike other recent video game cases involving games where band members engage in virtual music-playing and football players play virtual football, the alleged look-a-like in this game is not doing what Lindsay does for a living—i.e., acting. (On the other hand, query whether acting like a bad girl has itself created a unique identifier for Lindsay capable of legal protection.) Although you won't find the what-they-do-for-a-living test articulated in the cases, it has been an unannounced constant in several recent judicial decisions. Of course, a real legal analysis would depend on all the evidence, a careful multi-factor analysis, etc., so this is all purely speculative fun at this point.
That being said, given the apparent low likelihood of Lindsay succeeding, I hope Lindsay does bring a lawsuit. It would be refreshing to see a videogame developer win one for a change.

Martyn Hillier didn't want to be a landlord. When he was told that he could turn his off-licence in the Kentish village of Herne into a pub, the 51-year-old was taken aback. "I thought: 'Pub? No, not for me,'" he says. "I never, ever wanted to run a pub."
But Hillier thought it over and changed his mind, and in the process he may have created a new model for the pub business, one that is already proving influential across the country.
Hillier's pub is far from the average. There's no music, no lager, no jukeboxes, fruit machines or gastropub food. Most importantly of all, it's tiny – it has to be; it used to be the village butcher's shop. He calls it a micropub.
"There are loads of things in ordinary pubs that you just don't need," he says. "When I thought about owning a pub, it was that image that I had in my mind. Then, I thought: 'Wait a minute – this is going to be my pub, so the beer will be great, there'll be no lager and there'll be no smoking'."
That was before the smoking ban in pubs was enforced in 2007, but it was another piece of legislation that was vital in helping Hillier and those who have followed him in setting up pubs. In 2003, the licensing act (which took effect in 2005) was passed. It made it far easier to open a pub, and Hillier was one of the first to realise the potential.
"There are only four reasons why someone can object to you getting one: health and safety, law and order, protection of children and you've got to have been a good boy in the past. Had I tried to get a licence before, the big brewery pub opposite me and the other big multinational-owned pub across the road would have come along with their barristers and solicitors and stopped it – but now they can't."
Hillier's pub was an immediate success, winning the Campaign for Real Ale's East Kent pub of the year on two occasions. But it was at Camra's AGM in Eastbourne in April 2009, when he gave a presentation on how easy it was to set up your own pub, that the idea really began to take hold. In the audience was Pete Morgan, a Hartlepool man who had just found out he was about to lose his job. Hillier's idea immediately appealed to him. "At the end of his 15-minute presentation, I turned to my girlfriend and I said: 'I'm doing it,'" he says. "She said: 'Don't be stupid.' But that's how good an idea I thought it was. Within two hours of him finishing talking I knew where I was going to have the pub and what I would call it. There was no stopping me. There was no reason to stop me; it just seemed like such a brilliant idea."
Just over six months after hearing Hillier's speech, Morgan was the landlord of the Rat Race, a micropub based in a room at Hartlepool Railway Station that has been, at various points in its existence, a waiting room, a taxi company office and a newsagent.
Morgan's vision is, in its own way, the most perfect illustration of what a micropub is. Like the Butcher's Arms, the focus is on good quality cask ales and conversation.
"It's pretty small and pretty basic," he says. "But that's not a bad thing – that's the point. We haven't got any of the unnecessary stuff that most pubs are full of. The big difference between my pub and virtually every other pub in Hartlepool is that people talk to strangers. Because its small and everyone is facing each other, you get conversations starting between people who don't know each other. It's the way pubs used to be, but sadly it's not the way they are nowadays."
The same is true of another micro- pub that was inspired by Hillier's speech, Just Beer in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Set up by four friends, it demonstrates just how simple a concept this is. "You could conceivably have one in your front room if all the other considerations are dealt with," says Duncan Neil, one of the four. "And once you're up and running, you're not dealing with much outside of looking after your beer. As long as you've got enough people to make it a viable business, that's it, really."
And it's cheap, too. Just Beer cost £30,000 to get off the ground, while the Rat Race absorbed £10,000 of Morgan's money. The Butcher's Arms was the cheapest of the lot (£2,000), but Hillier already had a lot of the equipment as it had been an off-licence.
That is perhaps the key difference between pre-Licensing Act and afterwards: under the old legislation, you could have spent as much on legal fees as Morgan did on the whole project.
Before 2005, it would have cost you £12,000, £15,000 and you still wouldn't have guaranteed yourself a licence," says Hillier.
"We had a bloke in the pub who had tried to convert an antique shop – it took him 18 months and £12,000 because people kept objecting; all the pubs in the area were objecting. Now they can't. It's simple now."
The financial advantage of setting up a micropub as opposed to taking over a traditional pub is clear, says Morgan. He believes huge amounts of money are wasted on pubs that have no long-term prospects. "For me, what's crazy about normal pubs is the amount of money that's getting shovelled into putting stuff in that people really don't care about," he says. "You'll get youngsters who want the latest, greatest, trendiest place, but as soon as somewhere better down the road opens, it's not trendy any more. "
The micropub's emergence comes at a very interesting time for the British brewing industry. Another of the last government's actions was the introduction of small brewers' relief, whereby those brewers who produced less than a certain amount paid less tax. The impact has been dramatic: there are now almost 800 breweries operating in the UK. Hillier believes the microbreweries' products are a natural fit for a micropub. "The biggest problem new breweries have got is: where do they sell their beer?" he says. "If they sell it to the big boys, they want to pay nothing for it and pay you three months later, or you sell it to free houses – well, these days all they seem to be interested in is food. For every microbrewery, there should be 10 micropubs."
One day there may be. For the moment there is a handful, although Hillier says he knows of four or five new ventures that should be open shortly. Kent appears to be the epicentre, with another in the county (the Conquerer in Ramsgate) already open and more on the way. For Hillier, it's a heartening trend. He says anyone dissatisfied with their local should take action – and open a micropub.
"It's for the person who can't find a decent pint of beer," he says. "They see that the shop in the village is shut and they think: 'Let's convert that.' For the sake of a cooler, some stillage, some glasses and some tables and chairs, you're there. It can bring villages; towns back to life again where the pub has been shut."
Five steps to becoming micropub landlord
1. Find a site. Old shops are perfect. The Butcher's Arms is, naturally enough, based in an old butcher's. You don't need a great deal of space: 6mx4m for the entire site (including cellaring) is plenty. Low rent is also key. "It's all about low overheads," says Duncan Neil of the Just Beer micropub. "You have everything on a small scale so that you don't need the same amount of business as a normal pub to allow you to operate."
2. Negotiate the licensing process. The Licensing Act of 2003 has made this far easier (although there's more paperwork now), but since licensing is now a matter for local councils rather than the courts, your chance of success will depend on where you are in the country. You'll need two licences: a personal and a premises licence.
3. Buy your equipment. Micropubs sell ale and little else. Most of what you need can be found on auction websites, as Pete Morgan of the Rat Race in Hartlepool discovered. "All the furniture I bought from eBay," he says. "Anything I could buy from eBay, I did. My hand pumps were from eBay, my stillages [on which beer casks stand] were eBay."
4. Decide on opening hours and which beers to sell. If you want to open at 3pm and close at 8pm, you can – as long as you can make it work financially.You are not going to be a millionaire if you open one of these," says Martyn Hillier of the Butcher's Arms, "but you certainly get a better quality of lifestyle." Equally, Britain is now full of microbrewers itching to get their beer in pubs.
5. Open your micropub. You won't be alone. "I expect to see a lot more micropubs all over the country in 20 years' time," says Hillier.
