A Coach Connor Special - part 3 by JB
A Coach Connor Special by JB
Part 3: Father And Son- Again
Dan Connor arrives home Friday afternoon after getting his flattop haircut,
his Coach Connor Special, at the Klipper-Kut barbershop. As he enters the
house, Jeff is sprawled out across the living room sofa in front of the TV
playing Breakout on their Atari 2600 video game system. [Blip, Blop, Blip,
Blop]. Dan, "Hey, Sport." "Hey Dad", Jeff replies, oblivious to everything
except the bouncing ball on the screen. Seeing his son's intense concen-
tration on the video game, Dan conducts a little experiment:
>>> PHASE 1- LINE OF SIGHT: He walks around the sofa so that he's now
in plain view of his son, [Blip...Blop...Blip...] "Where's your mom?", he asks.
[Blop, Blip]. Jeff (eventually) replies, "I think she's out back feeding Unitas
and Maris." [BlipBlopBlipBlopBlip]
>>>PHASE 2- PROXIMITY TO THE TEST SUBJECT: Dan deliberately crosses
in front of the TV screen, bends down and examines the game cartridge box,
"Isn't that YOUR job, Sport?" Unitas and Maris are the Connor's two German
Shepherds. "Daaad. C'mon! Yer gonna make me miss." [BlopBlip...Blop]
The experiment having run its course, Dan heads for the patio door. Jeff
never noticed his dad's crisp new flattop.
As Dan steps into the backyard, Kathy is putting the (large) bag of dog
food away. Dan, "Hi, Hon." "Hi. Oh, would you put dog food on the grocery
list for me. It's getting low again." She turns and faces her husband, "Oh...".
She smiles when she Dan's flattop, "Looks like I got my old Dan back
again." She pecks him on the cheek. Dan, "I think old Dan is gonna stick
around for a while, at least till the end of football season, maybe longer."
Kathy, "I'd like that. I like my men manly", she says alluringly. "Your
men?...Just how many do you have, my dear?" "Oh, just the one...I think."
They share a laugh.
The dogs come lumbering over to greet Dan. He squats down and gives
them a vigorous head rubbing, "How're my boys doing?", he says to the
dogs. Kathy, "Speaking of boys, how did Jeff react to your new flattop?" "He
didn't even notice. I walked right in front of him and...nuthin." He continues
roughing up the dogs' ears, "There was a time when our son used to be
observant, notice things around him, but now..." Jeff pokes his head out the
back door, "Did I just see Dad with...", he sees his dad's landing strip
glowing in the late afternoon sun, "...a flattop...Geez. Every couple o' years,
it's back to the flattop. I'm sensin' a pattern here." Dan gets up from his
squatting position, "Could be." He reaches over and vigorously tousles his
son's hair like he did with the dogs, "How's my boy doin'?" "Hey, cut it out!",
Jeff laughs with a puzzled expression on his face, "You're sure actin' goofy.
Must be the flattop." "Yep. One of the side effects of havin' a flattop...It's
right there in the Flattopper's Manual: Side Effect #2- Guys with freshly cut
flattops tend to act goofy. It's right after Side Effect #1- People will often
ask to feel a guy's flattop...Wanna feel my flattop?" "Maybe later", Jeff grins
and shakes his head in disbelief, "Makes ya look like a drill sergeant." His
dad adopts a menacing tone, "That's drill sergeant SIR, to you recruit!" "Sir!
Yes, SIR!" Jeff replies, struggling to keep a straight face. Dan looks over at
his wife, "That manly enough for ya?" Kathy, "It'll do...Now, one of you
manly men go inside and peel some potatoes, it's time to start supper." Jeff,
"Sir, yes sir!" He heads for the kitchen.
Kathy, "So. I'm guessing this...", she motions at Dan's flattop with her
eyes, "has to do with that team haircut idea you talked about a while back.
You're going ahead with your little bait & switch scheme, aren't you. All the
guys ending up with flattops, like yours. I'm not really sure I like the idea. I
feel kind of sorry for them." Dan, "Look Kath, these guys are tough. They've
got character. They'll be just fine...after the initial shock." "I suppose so. I
just don't like the idea of tricking them into getting something they don't
want." "Well, I think the secret'll probably be out after the first few haircuts
anyhow. After that, I'm hoping the first few guys'll convince the rest to get
their flattops voluntarily. I'm thinking Jeff can help out in that department.
By the way, I thought Jeff would've figured this little trick of mine out by
now, after seeing the flattop. He's usually pretty good at putting 2 and 2
togeth..." "Wait, wait, wait...", Jeff comes to the back door again holding a
half-peeled potato, "This is about the team haircut idea, isn't it. The flattop,
I mean." He points the potato at his dad's head, "We talked about this last
week, about tellin' the guys they gotta get flattops. An' I said they probably
wouldn't go for it. And then today, after practice, you told us t'get our hair
cut like yours. And now you've got a flattop. So when the guys tell Hank and
Arley t'cut their hair like yours..." Slowly, a big grin spreads across Jeff's
face, "Tricky...I like it. It might just work." Dan is relieved to see his son get
on board with the idea. He wasn't sure how he would take it.
While eating dinner, Dan clues his son in on the various aspects of the
plan: About how the barber chairs face away from the countertop mirrors,
etc. Dan, "The only problem left to figure out is the mirrors along the waiting
area wall. When the guys see too much of their hair comin' off, they'll put a
stop to things real quick. They might end up with taper cuts, but no
flattops." Jeff, "So we need somethin' t'cover up the mirrors, right? So the
guys can't see themselves." "Yeah. I thought about movin' the coatrack in
front of one of the mirrors, but it's warm out, the guys won't be wearin'
jackets. A bare coatrack wouldn't block their view. Besides, there's 2 barber
chairs and only one coatrack." After thinking about it for a few seconds, Jeff
comes up with the answer, "Easy. I'll make a big banner, like ya see in the
hallways at school. I'll paint somethin' like 'Northridge Football' on it. Take it
to Hank's tomorrow morning and tape it up on the wall in front of the
mirrors: Problem solved." Dan grins at his son's easy solution, "Now, why
didn't I think of that?"
After dinner, Jeff gets started on the banner: He gathers together a roll of
butcher paper from the garage along with some poster paint and a brush
and lays everything out on the living room floor, "How long d'ya think it
should be? I'm thinkin' maybe 10 feet." Dan, "Sounds about right. Go for it."
Kathy enters the room wiping a sauce pan with a kitchen towel, "You
know, I'm still not comfortable about tricking the guys on the team like this.
I mean, you two seem positively giddy about it. But what if one of the
parents doesn't like the idea of their son coming home with a flattop? And
what about Hank and Arley? You said you're leaving them in the dark, too.
How are they going to feel when they find out they've given a flattop to
someone who wasn't expecting it?" Jeff, "Aw, Mom. Yer just worryin' too
much." Dan, "No, no. You're right...Arley, he's a Marine, an' well, he's Arley.
He'll probably get a big kick out of it. But Hank, I'm not so sure about. I
think I should go over to the Klipper-Kut sometime tomorrow afternoon and
apologize. As for the parents, I'll tell ya what...(heh), I sounded like Arley
there for a second, must be contagious." Jeff looks up with a grin, "I was, I
say, I was just gonna say that." They both laugh. Kathy, "This Arley sounds
like quite a character. Maybe I should go with you to the shop one of these
days and see for myself." Dan, "Yeah. Good idea. Catch the Hank & Arley
show...Only, not tomorrow, O.K?" Dan gives her a pleading look. She
smiles, "I guess you clowns are juggling too many balls in the air already,
huh." Dan smiles back. She gets Dan back on track, "You were going to say
something about the parents?" "Oh yeah...How about I call some of them,
maybe 7 or 8, there's too many t'call all of 'em, and explain the situation to
them. If even one of them objects to the flattop idea, I'll go down to the
Klipper-Kut early tomorrow morning and clue Hank and Arley in on the plan.
They'll tell the guys about the flattops before the cutting starts. Give 'em a
choice." Kathy, "Sounds good. Thank you." Dan gives her a little smooch.
She returns the favor. Jeff glances up from his work and sees his parents
little display of affection, "Hey, yer gettin', I say, yer gettin' spit on my
banner, I'll tell ya what." His parents laugh. Dan, "Maybe we should get a
room, my dear." "Or maybe I should go finish the dishes. And maybe you
should go make those phone calls." She gives him a catty grin as she heads
back into the kitchen. Dan leaves Jeff to his banner making and goes into his
office/study/den to make the phone calls.
First up is Matt Cooper's dad, Dick: "Good evening Mr. Cooper. This is Dan
Connor, Matt's coach. How are you tonight?" Dick Cooper, "Just fine, Coach.
Yerself?" "Doin' good, doin' good. Hey, has your son mentioned anything
about what I told the guys after practice this afternoon?" "You mean about
the haircuts?" "Yeah. That's right." "Yeah, he told me about that. Brought a
smile to my face. I've been tellin' him t'get that shaggy mop of his cut for
months. Says he's gotta get it cut above the ears like yours." "Yeah, well...
I'm sorta pullin' a little trick on the guys. I told 'em to tell the barbers at the
Klipper-Kut they need to cut their hair like mine, like yer son said. But the
thing is, after practice today, I went over to the Klipper-Kut and got a
haircut. Now I'm sportin' a brand new flattop that any Marine would be
proud of. So if Matt tells the barber t'cut it like mine..." Dick, "He'll end up
with a flattop like yours! (Laughs)" Dan, "So how d'ya feel about that?
Sound O.K. to you?" "You kiddin? I'd give him a flattop myself if I thought
he'd let me. Hey, ya know what? I'm gonna grab my camera an' go down to
the barbershop with him. I've gotta get pictures of this!" "Yeah well, be
careful not to give the surprise away, O.K?" "Oh yeah, sure. I wouldn't spoil
this for anything." Dan thanks Dick for his co-operation and says good-bye.
"So far, so good."
Next up- Scott McAllister's dad. Joe McAllister answers his phone, "Y'ello."
"Hi, this is Dan Connor, Scott's football coach. Is this Scott's dad?" "Yeah,
Joe McAllister. What can I do for ya, Coach?" "Hi, Joe. I don't know if your
son has talked to you about this yet, but after practice today I sprung a little
surprise on the guys. I've been thinking of a way to bring the team together,
give them a morale boost. The idea I came up with was t'have the guys get
team haircuts, everybody gets the same haircut. Has Scott mentioned this?"
"Naw, he hasn't said a thing. Startin' t'sound interesting though. Haircuts,
huh?" "Yeah. Told 'em they had t'get it cut like mine, above the ears, off the
collar, a regular medium haircut." "Oh boy. Bet that went over good." "Yeah,
there was a lot of groaning and grumbling. Thing is- After practice today, I
went over to Hank's barbershop, he's my regular barber..." "You mean
Hank's Klipper-Kut? Yeah, I know Hank." "Oh, good. Well, I had Hank give
me a flattop haircut..." "No kiddin? Yer a braver man than I am, Dan."
"(Heh) Well, I'm still gettin' used to it. I made arrangements with Hank to
give the guys their team haircuts for free tomorrow, this being my idea and
all. I told the guys to tell Hank and Arley...Do you know Arley, Joe?" "Oh
yeah. Keeps me in stitches." "Yep. That's Arley...Anyhow, I told the guys to
say they wanted their hair cut like mine. D'ya see where I'm goin' with this?
Instead of gettin' a regular medium cut, they'll end up with a flattop like I
have now." "Oh, man. Gonna be a lot of stunned faces tomorrow! But hell,
it'll be good for 'em, build character." "Yeah. That's how I see it. So it's O.K.
with you then if Scott comes home tomorrow sportin' a flattop?" "Oh yeah,
sure. Lord knows he NEEDS a haircut, bad." "O.K. then. Nice talkin' to ya,
Joe. Say hello to Scott for me." "You bet. Thanks for callin."
As Joe McAllister hangs up the phone, his son Scott passes by the archway
leading to the room, "Who was that?" "Yer football coach. So ya gotta get
yer ears lowered tomorrow?" "Yeahhh. Totally bogus. But I guess it won't be
THAT bad. I mean, all the other guys on the team'll be gettin' their haircut
too, right? And it's not like we're gettin' butched or somethin."
As Dan continues making more calls, the response is basically the same.
Not only are there no objections, the parents are, for the most part,
overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Much to Dan's relief.
Dan heads back to the living room. Jeff's mom is spreading newspapers on
the floor as Jeff places the banner on top. Jeff, "I was doin' just fine without
the papers, Mom. Look: No spills or drops anywhere." "All I'm saying is,
accidents happen. I don't want a big paint stain on my shag carpet." She
looks up and sees Dan, "So. How did the phone calls go?" "Really well. Most
of the parents were even more supportive of the idea than I'd expected. Erik
Forslund's mom had some reservations, but eventually she came around.
Looks like Operation: Coach Connor Special is clear for take-off."
The next morning, Saturday, Jeff is up and about around 8:00 AM. After
showering, he slips on a pair of Levis and a Northridge High '78 T-shirt he
bought at the school store a few months earlier. He downs a bowl of cereal
and heads for the living room to roll up the banner. His dad walks in slurping
a cup of coffee, "Hey, Sport." "Hey" "You headin' over to Hank's with the
banner?" "Yep. Figured I'd better get there pretty early, before any of the
guys show up for their flatto...I mean, their team haircuts." He gives his dad
a mischievous grin. Dan, "Their Coach Connor Special." Jeff laughs, "Who
came up with that name anyway?" "Not sure. Probably Arley." Jeff, "Sounds
like him." Dan, "Yer gonna need some masking tape t'put that up." "Right
here." Jeff brandishes the roll of tape, "Y'know, this banner probably won't
do much good. I mean, the guys'll figure it out pretty quick." Dan, "Yeah, I
think so too. I'm countin' on enough guys gettin' their flattops before the
cat's outa the bag, maybe half a dozen or so. That way they can apply a
little pressure to get the others to go ahead with it. I'm thinkin' you can play
a part in that, Sport. What d'ya think?" "Sure. I can hang out at Hank's and
give pep talks to the guys. So can you, right? After the secret's out, I
mean." Dan, "You bet. If this little scheme of mine does a big ol' belly flop
I'm not sure what would happen. I could even lose my job." Jeff hadn't
really thought about the consequences of his dad's plan failing. Up to now, it
was just a wild and crazy thing to have some fun with. But now he realizes
the risk involved; the weight his dad must've been carrying around since he
came up with this plan. Jeff, "We'll make it work." Dan gives him a smile.
Jeff tucks the banner under his arm and heads out the door.
Doug Nelson arrives at the Klipper-Kut for his team haircut just before
9:00 AM. Doug figures he'll get the dreaded task done early so he won't
have to stew over it the rest of the day. As he enters the shop, the two
barbers are reading the morning paper. Arley is sitting in his barber chair,
while Hank is sitting in one of the waiting area chairs sipping a cup of coffee.
Hank starts to get up but Arley beats him to it. Jumping out of the barber
chair, Arley greets the first customer of the day, "Howdy. Here for a cut?"
Doug, "Yeah. I'm on the football team an'..." "Oh. Here for yer team haircut,
huh? Well, get yerself seated here an' I'll go ta town on ya." Doug steps into
the chair as Arley gives the cape a snap and drapes it loosely around his
shoulders. In the mirror above the chairs where Hank is sitting, Doug sees
Arley lift his dark blond hair off his collar, place the paper strip around his
neck, and fasten the cape in back. Arley, "So, ya want it cut like the coach,
huh?" "Yeah. He said you'd know what that meant." "Gotcha. One Coach
Connor Special comin' right up." As Arley reaches for the rotary clippers with
the #8 blade attachment, Jeff enters the shop with the rolled up banner. He
sees Doug Nelson about to get his flattop, "Hey, Arley." "Hey yerself, Sport."
Jeff, "Hey, Doug. Looks like ya beat me here." Doug, "Yeah. Thought I'd get
it over with, y'know?" Jeff sees Hank sitting in the chair against the wall,
drinking his coffee, "Hi, Hank." "Hello, Jeff. Whatcha got there?" "Oh, just a
poster I made last night. Thought it would get the ol' team spirit goin',
y'know? Also to let the guys know they're in the right place when they come
in for their team haircuts...Is it O.K. if I put it up on the wall here?" Hank,
"Sure. Go ahead."
As Jeff tapes the upper left corner of the banner to the wall he hears
Arley's clippers switch on. He quickly, but casually, unfurls the banner and
tapes up the right hand corner, covering the mirrors just as Arley takes the
first swipe across the top of Doug's head, mowing a 1" high path from front
to back. Hank takes his cup of coffee over to his barber chair to get a better
look at Jeff's banner, which reads:
in big bold letters. Near the left edge, a football is seen flying through the
air. On the right, a goal post. Around the entire perimeter of the banner are
red, white, and blue hash marks, like you would see on a barber pole.
"Cool poster", Doug says, as Arley makes the final pass with the clippers,
leaving the top of his head with a 1" butch. Jeff takes a seat under the
banner and grins at Doug's 50/50 haircut: long on the sides, butched on top.
The mirror-covering banner trick seems to be working.
Hank, "Nice lookin' banner, Jeff. And like ya said, it adds a touch of school
spirit to the ol' shop." Arley begins pushing the clippers up the sides and
back of Doug's head to complete the boxing-in stage of the flattop. Up to
now, all of Doug's hair has been falling onto the floor behind him as Arley
moved the clippers from his forehead to the back. But now, quite a lot of
hair is piling up in his lap. Doug, seeing the mounds of hair on the cape,
"Yer not gettin' it TOO short, are ya?" Arley, "Well, it's nowhere near as
short as yer coach's, isn't that right, Jeff?" "Not even close. Got a long ways
t'go yet." Arley, "I can leave it a little longer if ya like." Doug, "Yeah, O.K. I
don't think the coach would mind it bein' an extra inch or so." Arley looks at
Doug's inch-long brush cut, "Well, I don't know 'bout an inch, half inch
maybe." Doug, "Yeah. That sounds O.K." Arley, "All righty then." Arley
switches to a different pair of clippers and squares up Doug's sides and
back. Doug, "Feels weird not havin' hair coverin' my ears." Arley, "Guess
this is gonna be quite the transformation for you guys, huh? After havin'
long hair for so many years." Jeff starts feeling a little uneasy about where
this conversation is headed. Thankfully, Hank changes the subject, "How
about you, Jeff. You here for your team haircut?" "Not just yet. I've got
something ta take care of first. I'm just here for the Hank & Arley show right
now." "Arley & Hank", Arley replies as he grabs a spray bottle and wets
Doug's hair down. He then uses a blow dryer and brush to get Doug's hair to
stand up, ready to be flattened. Hearing the blow dryer come on, Doug
thinks his haircut is complete, but then he hears another set of clippers start
to hum. Arley decides to forego the flattopper comb and just eyeball the
flattening of the top. A few careful swipes and Doug's brush cut becomes a
flattop: 1" high in front, 5/8" down the middle with just a slight landing
strip. Jeff grins and gives Doug a thumbs up. Doug returns the gesture.
Arley loosens the cape around Doug's neck and does the edging. He
finishes up with the duster brush and swings the chair around to face the
mirror, "There y'go. One Coach Connor Special. 'Course yers is a bit longer
than the coach's, like ya said." Doug sits in stunned silence for a second as
he processes what he's seeing in the mirror, "Oh, man..." Arley, " Quite a
change, huh?" Doug, "It's...a flattop!" Arley, "And a pretty good one if I do
say so myself, (and I do)." Jeff, "Heard that one before, Arley." "Well hell.
Guess, I say, I guess I better get me some new material then, I'll tell ya
what." He grins at Jeff. Doug reaches up and touches the soft blond bristles
on top of his head. Arley, "Yer team's gonna look real sharp. Intimidate the
hell outa the guys on the other teams. Like a platoon of Marines chargin' at
'em." Doug, "We were supposed t'get our haircut like the coach's..." Jeff cuts
him off, "Well, like ya said, yers is longer than my dad's, almost twice as
long. But it's standin' up. And I can see sort of a landing strip down the
center, so it's probably O.K." Doug steps out of the chair and runs his hand
up the back of his head. Jeff, "Don't worry, Doug. You might be the first
t'get yer Coach Connor Special, but you won't be the last. Before the day's
out, all us guys'll be sportin' flattops...C'mon." Jeff motions at the door and
the two of them head out. "I'll be back later", Jeff yells over his shoulder.
Outside the shop, Jeff looks at Doug's haircut and grins, "So. How d'ya like
yer flattop?" "You knew this was gonna happen all along, didn't you?" "Naw.
Not until last night when my dad came home with his flattop. He stopped
here after practice yesterday and got it cut. So when you come in here an'
say ya want it cut like his, well..." "Geez..." Doug pushes both of his hands
through his hair, "I look like a dork." "Maybe. Or, it makes ya look like a
tough dude, or a Marine like Arley said." "I guess...So all the other guys are
gettin' flattops too, huh?" "That's the plan." "You too?" "Oh, yeah. I'm kinda
lookin' forward to it." Doug thinks for a second and starts to warm up to the
idea, "Maybe I'll go back inside and watch some of the other guys get their
flattops." "Not a good idea, Doug. If you knew you were gonna end up with
a flattop, would you even have come here?" "Heck no." "Well there ya go.
That's why I haven't got my haircut yet. I didn't wanna give away the secret
when I brought the banner here just now." Doug, "That banner covering up
the mirrors thing was a dirty trick, Connor." "Thank you. So if you go back
in there now lookin' like a Marine, none of the other guys'll be gettin'
flattopped. You'll be the only one. And then you WILL look like a dork", Jeff
grins, "Wait a couple of hours, then come back. By then, everybody'll know
what's goin' on. The guys who already have their haircuts can joke around
and convince the other guys t'go ahead an' get their flattops. Me an' my
dad'll be here then, too." Doug, "Man, bet I'm the only guy in town our age
with a flattop, huh." He pats the top of his head, "Gnarly. Feels weird. Sorta
crunchy, y'know?" [Click] Derek Miller, the photographer for the yearbook
and the school paper snaps a picture just as Doug pats his flattop. Derek,
"Geez, is that the team haircut Coach Connor talked about? A flattop? Man,
this is gonna be even better than I thought."
Jeff, "Hey, Miller. You here ta take pictures?" "Yeah. Yer dad called me up
an' told me about this team haircut thing. Sounded like a good yearbook
feature so, here I am." Derek looks at Doug's hair, "Dang. Should'a got here
sooner. Then I'd have a 'before' picture, too...What's it feel like, anyway? He
reaches over and touches the top of Doug's flattop, "Weird. Sorta crisp an
springy-like." Doug, "Yeah, I know. That's just what I told Jeff." Derek, "So
all you guys are gettin' flattops? Good thing I brought plenty of film." Jeff,
"Yeah well, take all the pictures ya want, just don't spoil the surprise O.K?"
Derek, "What's the surprise?" Jeff, "Well, the guys..." "The surprise", Doug
butts in, "is that we don't know we're gettin' flattopped when we come here
for our team haircuts. I thought I was gettin' a medium haircut, y'know, just
above the ears an' stuff. Then, when the barber turned the chair around, I
saw this Marine starin' back at me in the mirror." Derek, "So you guys don't
know yer gettin' flattopped till it's all over? Sweet! This is gettin' better all
the time! This'll be a 5 page spread in the yearbook fer sure."
When Jeff returns home, his dad is anxious to hear how things went, "So
how'd it go? Were any of the guys there yet? Did you get the banner up?"
Jeff smiles at his dad's onslaught of questions, "Nervous?" "...A little", he
says sheepishly, "C'mon, Sport! How'd it go?" Jeff, "When I got there, Doug
Nelson was already in the chair, caped up an' ready t'go. I got the banner up
just as Arley started to butch him." "Butch? It's supposed t'be a flattop. I
thought Arley understo..." "Relax, Dad. They're usin' a long clipper
attachment, maybe an inch, t'do the pre-cut. Only took about 30 seconds for
Doug t'go from his long layer cut to an all-over inch long butch. From there,
Arley squared up the sides an' stuff and flattened the top. Only took about 6
minutes from start to finish. I don't think Doug had much time ta think
about what was happenin' till it was already done. And yes, the banner trick
worked. He couldn't see a thing in the mirror till Arley swung the chair
around at the end." Dan, "(Whew) O.K. then. That's good...How'd he take it?
Doug, I mean." Jeff grins, "He just sat there kinda stunned for a while. I'm
not sure he recognized the flattopped guy looking back at him. It was like:
Who's that poor dude with the flattop? Maybe he's a Marine. And then it hits
him: I'M the dude with the flattop! I'M the Marine!" Jeff laughs. Dan gets a
bit worried, "Sounds like he took it pretty hard." "No, it's cool. I talked him
through it. He's O.K. with it now. He's gonna come back to the shop in a
couple o' hours an' show some support." "That's good. Glad to hear he
finally got over the initial shock. What about Hank and Arley? They must
think somethin' fishy's goin' on." "Naw. The way it worked out, I don't think
they suspect a thing." Dan, "Well, I'm sure they'll figure it out soon enough.
I'll have'ta set things straight with them when I go there later today." He
looks at his son, "I expected t'see you back here with a freshly cut flattop,
Sport", he grins, "You chicken out?" Jeff grins back, "Time for a haircut!" His
dad laughs, "Yeah right." "No. Seriously." Jeff goes into the kitchen and
comes back carrying one of the old bar stools, "Go get the clippers out of
the laundry room. I'll meet ya on the back patio." Dan, "Yer not just jokin'
around?" "No. C'mon, it'll be fun. For both of us. Just like old times." "I
dunno, Jeff. It's been years since I've used the old Butchmaster clippers on
you. I'm a little rusty." Jeff grins mischievously, "You chickenin' out, Old
Man?" Dan accepts the challenge, "Old Man? Who you callin' an old man,
boy? Now get out there an' don't move a muscle till I get back, ya hear?
That mop of yours is comin' off, boy." Jeff laughs, "Aww, Daaad."
Dan returns, carrying the Butchmaster Home Haircut Kit (Cadet model).
Jeff is waiting dutifully on the stool, playing with the dogs, "Better put Maris
and Unitas in the house. They're kinda excited an' jumpin' up all over me."
Dan sets the Butchmaster box down and gives a short whistle. As the patio
door slides open, the dogs zip inside.
Dan removes the clippers from the box and plugs them into the patio
outlet, "So, what'll it be, Sport?" "A flattop!" "You sure, Jeff? Remember
what happened the first time I tried t'give you a flattop." "How could I
forget. Mom has all those photos of me plastered all along the stairway wall.
I see 'em every time I go up or down the stairs. Anyway, you got pretty
good at givin' me flattops after that." "Well, I did have plenty of times to
practice. That was your favorite haircut back then." Jeff, "Besides, even if ya
screw it up, it won't matter...I'll be goin' back to the Klipper-Kut so Hank or
Arley can take it even shorter. I figure it'll be good for morale if the guys see
me gettin' my haircut shorter than theirs. And like ya said, there's a lot at
stake here." Dan feels his eyes begin to moisten up as he hears his son
speak of setting an example and making sacrifices for the greater good,
"Sounds like yer giving this scheme of mine your complete, 100% effort.
That means a lot to me, Jeff...Thanks Son." His voice breaks up a bit at the
end. Jeff hears the quaver and decides to lighten the mood again, "Don't go
gettin' all teary eyed on me, Old Man. Gettin' scalped is no big deal for me,
remember? You know I've always liked messin' with my hair. I've been
wantin' t'go back to a flattop for a while now. This team haircut idea is just
the ticket I've been waitin' for. So let 'er rip. (Unless yer still chicken)." Dan
recovers nicely, "You sassin' me again, boy? I'm gonna press these clippers
down so hard, it'll be years before you'll be needin' a haircut again, you hear
me?" Jeff laughs, "Well, as nice and fatherly as that sounds, I was hopin'
you'd leave it kinda long, longer than yours anyhow. That way, when I go
back to the shop, Arley and Hank will have somethin' t'work with, y'know? I
think the guys'll get a big kick watchin' me get a big ol' landing strip down
the middle, don'tcha think?" "Hey. I like that idea. Good thinkin', Sport."
Dan pins the cape around Jeff's neck and experimentally lifts his son's hair
up with the barber comb, seeing how long he can leave it and still have it
standing upright, "With your hair bein' so thick an' springy, I never had ta
use any Butch Wax on yer flattops t'get 'em ta stand up. It would have'ta be
at least 2" long before it would start to flop over. Jeff hears the familiar
'snap' and hum as the Butchmaster clippers are switched on. His dad starts
taking the top down a little at a time, leaving it just short enough to stand
up at full attention. Dan, "Remember when ya started growin' yer hair out?
Hank had ta use Butch Wax t'get yer hair ta lay down...Took quite a bit of
work, as I recall." "Yeah. I remember bein' really stoked havin' my hair long
enough t'lay down...You were growin' yer hair out then too, right? Guess
that's why I wanted my hair longer. I always liked havin' the same haircut
as you back then." "Back then? Seems t'me that's what yer doin' right now,
Sport...I get a flattop, you get a flattop." "(Heh) You're right. Guess some
things never change, huh." Dan finishes leveling Jeff's hair on top: 1 and 1/4
inches high down the middle, 1 3/4 inches in front and not a trace of flop-
over. He then starts clippering the sides into a long squared-off taper: 1/2
inch around the ears, 1 1/2 inches around the top.
Jeff, "Oh. I forgot to mention: Derek Miller, the photographer guy, showed
up just as Doug an' me were leavin'. Guess he's gonna be takin' a lot of
pictures of the guys gettin' their flattops, huh." "Good. Glad ta hear he made
it over there. Yeah, I called him earlier an' told him about the team haircuts.
He seemed excited about it." "I'll say. When he found out the team haircut
was a flattop he got even more excited. And when I...well, when Doug told
him that the guys don't know they're gonna be flattopped, he got really
stoked. Guess there's gonna be several pages in the yearbook about all
this." Dan starts pushing the clippers up the back of Jeff's head, forming a
long square taper just like the sides, "So Derek knows all about the tricky
part of the team haircut scheme, then?" "Yeah. I told him not t'spoil the
surprise." "That's good. Maybe the secret'll last longer than I thought. The
more of you guys who get flattopped before the cat's outa the bag, the
As Dan begins to fine tune the details of Jeff's extra-long flattop, the
familiar mischievous glint comes into his eye, "You did say you wanted a
mohawk, right?" "What?..No I..." Jeff laughs, "You almost had me goin'
there for a sec." "Almost? Looked like you were about t'pee yer pants."
"(Heh) Umm...Not that I don't trust ya or anything, but...hand me that
mirror so I can take a look." "Oh, I don't think you wanna do that, Sport."
Jeff, grinning but exasperated, gets off the stool and rummages through the
Butchmaster box for the mirror, "I can't find the mirror. It's usually right
here..." "You mean this?" Dan brandishes the mirror that he's had in his
hand. Jeff grabs the mirror, "One of these days, Old Man. One of these
days..." Jeff gets his first look at his new haircut, "Geez. It sure is...bushy,
isn't it." "You said ta leave it long, Sport." "Yeah but..." He runs his fingers
through the long taper on the side of his head, "This looks like that dorky old
picture of you in yer yearbook, the one where ya have that huge flattop", he
says grinning. Dan, "Oh. I can assure you, your flattop is a lot dorkier than
that. Those wings on the side of yer head make ya look like yer about ta
head South for the winter." They both laugh. Jeff, "The guys oughta get a
laugh out of it when I show up at the shop a little later." "When WE show
up, I'm comin' too, remember?" "Oh yeah." Jeff looks at his dad's flattop
and thinks for a second. A devilish grin creeps onto his face, "Hey! You know
what? Let me cut yer hair sorta dorky-like. Then we can both get high &
tight flattops, y'know... horseshoe flattops when we go back to the shop."
Dan stops and thinks..."Y'know what? Go for it. Like ya said, the guy'll get a
good laugh, plus we'll be settin' an example by gettin' shorter haircuts than
Dan gets onto the kitchen stool and Jeff capes him up. "So. What'll it be,
Sport?" Jeff says with a big grin. His dad laughs, "Hmm. Not really sure...
Don't go TOO crazy with it. Still gotta be able ta turn it into a high & tight
later. How about a big ol' pair of white side-walls. Do you know what those
are, Sport?" "Yeah, I guess...That's where all the hair on yer sides is shaved
off, right? No sideburns an' stuff?" "Yep. Only don't take it all the way to the
top. Stop somewhere around the temple here." Dan motions with his hand,
"Basically, it's a really short taper cut. You don't have'ta worry about the
taper though. Just take everything off from here on down." "You got it." Jeff
removes the butch-comb attachment from the clippers that his dad had used
on his extra-long flattop, "You ready t'get skinned, boy?" "(Heh) Let 'er rip."
The clippers start to hum as Jeff positions them below his dad's sideburns
and plows up to the temple, "One mohawk comin' right up." "Yer joking,
right?...Right?" Jeff takes another swipe up the side of his dad's head, "Of
course." Dan still isn't sure if Jeff is serious or not. He swivels around and
sees a big grin on his son's face. "Pee yer pants yet, Old Man?" "Just about."
Jeff laughs and mows a wide path above his dad's ears, continuing around to
the back, "Wasn't sure if I was supposed t'skin it in back too. Oh well, too
late now." After a few more runs, Jeff shuts the clippers off, "Well that's,
that...Seems like it needs somethin' else though...How about I mow a path
down the center on top? Yer gonna get it skinned up there anyway, right?"
"Yeah. I suppose...Leave some hair in front though. I don't wanna end up
with a twin mohawk." "Oh! That'd be sooo cool!" "No." "Aw c'mon, Dad. It'd
look awesome!" "If you think it'd look so awesome then have Arley give ya
one." Jeff pictures himself walking down the school halls with his double
mohawk, "Okaaay. Maybe yer right. Just down the middle then." Dan,
"Sounds like ya got a case of clipper fever there, Sport. Sometimes, once ya
start, ya don't wanna stop. You end up doin' somethin' that you regret
later." "Guess so...Lesson learned." The clippers snap on again and Jeff
places them on top of his dad's head about an inch and a half from his
hairline. He proceeds to push the clippers across the top and down the back
leaving his dad with a half inch high 'U' shaped fringe. The clippers are shut
off again. Jeff hands the mirror to his dad, "There y'go, Sport. How's it
look?" Dan examines his haircut: kind of a half-completed horseshoe flattop,
"Looks sorta like the fur collar on my bomber jacket, doesn't it." "(Heh)
Yeah, it kinda does." Dan, "You got this side about an inch higher than the
other side." "Yeah. I coulda gotten it even but it looks dorkier this way", Jeff
says with a grin. "Can't argue with that", his dad grins back, "Just hope we
don't get any company comin' over in the next hour or so." Jeff laughs, "Me
too." He brushes his hand through his furry flattop.
The patio door slides open and Kathy pokes her head out, "What's going
on here? I come back from the grocery store and find the dogs running
around inside the house like crazy and...Oh." She sees her husband and son
standing there with big goofy grins and haircuts to match. The dogs dash
out into the backyard. Dan, "It's not what it looks like, Hon." "Well, I'm not
sure...What DOES it look like?" Dan, "Uhh..." He looks at Jeff's hair, "Like we
went clipper crazy on each other?" Kathy, "Honestly, I don't know what I'm
going to do with you two...Maybe I should hire a baby sitter." Jeff, "Me an'
Dad are goin' to Hank's after a while t'get high & tight flattops, you know,
the team haircut thing. Thought we'd have some fun first." Unitas stands up
and places his front paws on Jeff, wanting an ear rub, and gets one.
Kathy, "Looks like you and Unitas have about the same haircut", she smiles.
Jeff, "Yeah. Kinda furry, huh." Unitas jumps back down and shakes his head
rapidly, the way dogs do. Jeff mimics his dog's actions and shakes his head
from side to side, "Weird. I can feel my hair bounce back and forth all
springy-like." His dad laughs and switches to his drill sergeant voice as they
all go inside, "Recruit Connor, at approximately eleven hundred hours you
will march yourself to the base barbershop. You will report to barber Hank or
barber Arley and get that furry pelt of yours taken down to a proper United
States Marine Corps high & tight flattop. Do you hear me?" "Sir. Yes SIR!"
"You will not have to worry about springy, bouncy hair for the remainder of
your enlistment here at football boot camp. Is that CLEAR, Marine?" "Sir.
Yes Sir. SIR!" Dan, "Hey. I could get used to this, givin' orders an' people
obeying my commands." Kathy, "Well, 'Sergeant Connor', before you go off
on your power trip, go get the mop bucket and some disinfectant. One of the
dogs threw up on the kitchen floor." "Ugh." "And you, 'recruit Connor', you
can help me put away the groceries. And be careful not to step in the dog
puke or you'll track it all over the place." "Sir. Yes, Sir...I mean Ma'am."
Dan wheels the mop bucket into the kitchen, "Guess we know who the
REAL drill sergeant is in this house, huh Sport." Kathy, "And don't you forget
it." Dan and Jeff reply in unison, "Sir. Yes, SIR! (Ma'am..sir...ma'am)"
Another excellent episode!

Beautiful place
I could not have pictured a more beautiful place to get married than Stein Farms. Literal thousands of photo locations even if it happens to rain on your wedding day like it did mine. I was able to visit as many times as I wanted leading up to the wedding, we stayed in the house on the property all weekend which is awesome for the rehearsal dinner, and Clem and the staff were amazing in making last minute changes for us due to rain. Highly recommend!Sent on 10/01/2019
Angie · Married on 08/25/2018
I couldn't have found a place any better to have our wedding. Getting married by a river was absolutely beautiful. The lighting where we had our dinner was just perfect and Clem can make it to match your color scheme ( mine was purple) at night I think that was my favorite area. Seeing it all lit up was almost magical. And if that is not enough there is another building that has the bar/dj area, (which also has a beauty room for the ladies to get ready) and a fire pit outside. It literally has everything you need in 1 place. I can go on and on about how beautiful this place is, but I really need to let you is that the owner Clem is one of a kind to work with. He truly cares about making sure your day is special. He went above n beyond to help me with whatever I needed/wanted for our wedding. He makes you feel like he's as excited about your day as you are. I would recommend having your wedding here to everyone. I have not 1 bad thing to say about my experience.Sent on 09/19/2018
SHARI · Married on 08/29/2015
Stein Farms was perfect for our wedding. I was able to set up on Wednesday. Some chairs and tables were provided which meant that i did not have to rent them. Clem, the owner was a big help and was always available even when i would Text him at 4am. I could not have asked for a more beautiful setting for our wedding. We had use of the entire property. That includes a Bar/entertainment area, a large garage/barn/hall area. Both of those have stages. The Bar/entertainment area was where our dj set up. There is also an orchard, Beer Garden and Lake. It is just amazing. We were able to park our camper right in the orchard and Camp Friday and Saturday night. A few of our friends parked their campers as well. This way the intoxicated ones were safe. I made our rehearsal dinner and we had it right there. Clem went the extra mile and i almost wish we had another event to plan here in the future.Sent on 12/07/2015

Every growth strategy requires people at some stage. The challenge therefore is making sure you have the right people in place to achieve the growth. And for a family business, this can be a little more challenging.
All organisations, by their very nature, require a strong leadership team in order for the business to thrive and develop. Family businesses are no different; but they may be more complex.
Whilst their management teams are confronted with the same daily demands and monotonous issues of any other business, they can also face additional hurdles when dealing with a panel of family members. The ability, therefore, to balance family relationships with key strategic decisions is key.
The question is whether a family member, or an external person, are best placed for this job.
Not surprisingly, a survey* found that family members are considered the most trusted advisors by far and that the majority of family businesses restrict their management team to family members only.
This may or may not be a conscious (or even strategic) decision, but sometimes it is a successful approach. Other times, it is a complete hindrance. Either way, there is a set of core skills required to lead a family business:
- Managing conflict
Given the importance of sustained family cohesion in a business' ultimate success, a simple lack of trust between family members and/or the management team, or even just one disgruntled family member, can easily (and quickly) escalate the chance of conflicts arising.
Experience of handling conflict is therefore one of the most important skills to have within the management team of a family business, especially for the person at the helm. Strong family relationships within the company can mean that emotions run high from time to time, particularly with regard to sensitive issues such as individual success and wealth generation. Being able to settle these diplomatically is a great benefit.
- Communicating effectively
Equally as important as managing conflict is the ability to discuss such matters openly and honestly, whilst remaining rational.
The benefit of openness doesn't only work to resolve conflict, it can also foster a positive approach to innovation and creative ideas. The skill is in building an environment that breeds effective communication, whether this be day-to-day conversations (or interventions!) between family members or more strategic discussions with the wider team.
Everyone involved must be feel a sense of confidence in the management team that their input and opinion are valued; an environment where people are happy and willing to contribute is an environment that is conducive to a positive output.
- Promoting alignment
Cohesion in a family business is essential, not least because of the challenges associated with the increased likelihood of tension and disagreement. But also, because a team that is aligned will positively influence the chance of building a successful business.
A great advantage in achieving alignment is that family businesses tend to excel at living by their company values. They genuinely believe that the business is an integral part of what defines their family. The leadership challenge is ensuring this this is carried through the entire business.
A good leader will not only need to understand (and believe in) the family's long-term goals but achieve buy-in to these from people outside of the family too. They need to be motivational aspirations for all involved, coupled with appropriate rewards at every level of the business.
- Encouraging change
As family businesses are often built around heritage and values, the ability to drive change is fundamental to achieving a strong, and realistic, strategic vision.
Managing a business with clarity and confidence will ensure a leader is making decisions based on meeting the need for positive business growth, whilst playing to the emotions of retaining family tradition. The outcome should be profitable yet coherent with family values.
This will be achieved when a leader challenges the way things are done (or have always been done) and promotes change that steers the business towards positive growth – whether this be location change, product change or even people change.
The skill is in managing the change through without bruising the legacy of the business.
These are just a few of the essential skills required to lead a business through long-term success, let alone a family business with strong internal ties. Communication, motivation and flexibility are all required qualities when navigating the journey of a growing family business; a strong leader will not only buy into the family values, but will turn these into a positive for all involved.
But what happens if a non-family member is part of the leadership team?
The management of a family-run business usually changes over time as ownership of the business moves through generations. This may involve someone from outside of the family being allowed in.
Being detached yet still committed to the family provides unique leverage by having the ability to take a more objective view of family issues, helping to prevent them hindering a business' success.
But being the outsider isn't easy – they can be seen as a threat. So, it is important to have an individual who has the sensitivity to deal with family dynamics, yet the strength to stand up to the family too.
Family businesses generally have the advantage (and disadvantage) of being more people-centred and a leader therefore needs to be able to tackle this carefully, using this personal culture as a competitive advantage. Anyone new coming in should be allowed to apply their own leadership style in line with the legacy of the business.
The chances are that, if someone is employed externally to join the leadership team of a family business, they are there for genuine reasons and with the correct skill set, rather than someone who has fallen into the position through succession (and without the necessary qualities).

Featured Destination Specialists
Stuart Perry
USA, Canada and Caribbean specialist
I always wanted to travel - I bought a round-the-world flight ticket in my 20s and I never looked back! I loved the journey, finding my way from one amazing place to another, as much as the destinations themselves. Since then I have always worked in travel and have been lucky enough to visit some incredible places and share them with other people through my job. I find big cities fascinating and for me there is no better example than New York City. It's thriving and so full of life, with endless places to eat and drink and sights to see. I'm lucky that the areas I look after for Travelsphere are so diverse - at the moment Cuba tops the list for me for its combination of scenery, music, cocktails, and of course, beautiful Caribbean beaches.
Christina Hunter-Locke
Latin America specialist
Having grown up in South America and worked in the travel industry for over 20 years, travel is in my blood! I have spent my career working with, and travelling to, far-flung destinations such as India, Jordan, Peru, the Caribbean, the Far East and Latin America, where I love to put my Portuguese and Spanish to good use. I am responsible for Travelsphere's product portfolio but have planned and organised our South America tours personally. So where would I recommend? Not an easy one to answer when it's the very diversity that travel has to offer that appeals so much. However, Brazil has to be closest to my heart as I spent my childhood in this wonderful country.
Nina Brittain
China and Australasia specialist
With over 15 years in the travel industry and a passion for travel which goes back much further, I count myself lucky to be able to work with such amazing destinations. I love New Zealand for its dramatic scenery, little wonder why it was chosen for the mythical land of 'Middle-earth'. With such a rich and diverse Maori culture, spectacular fjords, and excellent food and wine, New Zealand will never disappoint. My favourite destination though has to be China, such a fascinating country, with a wealth of extraordinary sights and experiences; from the iconic Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, to the majestic scenery of the Yangtze, limestone karsts, rice terraces and traditional villages. The atmosphere is enchanting, like no other place on Earth.

Crime - Sacto 911
Defendants in 2017 Sacramento-area marijuana conspiracy case face new charges
A grand jury in Sacramento has added money laundering charges to six defendants charged in a 2017 international marijuana conspiracy case, the Eastern District U.S. Attorney's office announced Friday.
In 2017, federal officers raided nine Sacramento-area homes and seized 7,750 marijuana plants. Nine people were charged with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute controlled substances, manufacturing and possessing controlled substances with intent to distribute, and maintaining a place for the manufacture and distribution of controlled substances.
According to a news release, money laundering charges were added Thursday against six people: You An Li, 53, of Texas; Kong Liang Li, 53, of Texas; Xiu Ping Li, 42, of New Jersey; Xiu Ru Li, 46, of Sacramento; Dao Zhong Wei, 50, of Sacramento; and Shui Ping Zheng, 56, of Michigan.
The suspects conspired to wire transfer about $870,000 from China to buy six houses in Sacramento and Placer counties for growing marijuana or to pay off lenders to allow them to continue growing marijuana in the house, the release said.
The maximum penalty for money laundering is 20 years in prison and a fine up to $500,000 and/or twice the value of the money involved. The investigation was conducted by IRS Criminal Investigation, FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Homeland Security Investigations.
The investigation began in October 2016, when DEA Special Agent Alicia Ramirez learned that three different Sacramento-area homes owned by suspect Xiu Ping Li "were consuming an unusually high amount of electrical power per month, indicating that the residences were probably being used to manufacture marijuana," according to an affidavit filed in federal court, the Bee reported.
After an in-depth probe involving SMUD investigators, surveillance and other searches, the raid of nine houses from Roseville to Elk Grove was conducted July 26, 2017.
On Aug. 10, 2017, a grand jury indicted the original nine suspects and one other person for various counts related to marijuana, conspiracy and money laundering.
Sacramento city officials estimated that there may be 1,000 illegal growing operations within city limits, the Bee reported in 2017. Federal agents swept across the region in 2018 and seized 100 homes, which represented "one of the largest residential forfeiture efforts in the nation's history," the U.S. Justice Department said.

Oil field chemicals - Improving the feasibility of oil wells
Posted: May 31, 2019
Impact of Oil Field Chemicals:
It's quite long since we started the talk on shifting to renewable sources of energy but it is yet to happen in a remarkable way. That be it, the prediction on the intrusion of oil field chemicals into the oil & Gas industry is very promising and its good news for oil field chemicals manufacturers in India and world over. Are you wondering why it should be so? That's because oil field chemicals are capable of improving productivity as well as recovery of oil which add value. Let's take a look at drilling fluids, demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, H2S Scavengers, Scale Inhibitors, Biocides, etc.
These are used to separate emulsions & they score over the others when they have
I.fast separation
II.least amount of water is left
III.In desired BS&W levels
Corrosion Inhibitors:
These are challenged by acids, gases, brine, etc. Features unique of them are
I.Withstanding high temperature
III.Good ability to form a film.
H2S Scavengers:
As H2S is detrimental it needs to be removed and H2S Scavengers should work well in both liquid and gas phase.
Scale Inhibitors:
Scale formation is very common and needs to be checked at a reasonable duration. Any scale inhibitor is should be able to handle Calcium Carbonate, Strontium Sulphate, Calcium Sulphate, etc. To have maximum coverage.
These control fouling, act as antimicrobial and pesticides and may be either natural or synthetic. They should be able to control RB / GAB / GAnB bacteria in oil field waters.
Oxygen Scavengers :
Corrosion is under control where oxygen scavengers are at work. The efficiency of oxygen scavengers is most sought after.
The chemicals that serve at different levels of oil extraction are available with drilling fluids suppliers and manufacturers.

PROJECTS IN PROCESS: These projects are on-going or still in process
Photographer Elaine Melko documents the heirlooms families treasure, as markers of their journeys from countries around the world, to the U.S. where they all live today. Her work is a celebration of the richness of American heritage, drawn generously from the roots of cultures across the globe.
"We often don't spend enough time really looking around and exploring the space we're in — but to tell powerful stories about a person, the space is where the story is and it provides important information about the person we're photographing."
"The result is an experience unlike any other for students that culminates with their work being shown to a live audience at Camp Encourage's annual benefit. Making a difference with our photos while simultaneously perfecting our craft is the ultimate learning experience. "
Photographer Niki Boon on pushing past challenges in personal projects: "…sometimes it is more from trusting in the process and putting the camera down for a time (although this was a far harder learning to accept)…the challenge of trying to create pictures that are interesting to me, from a scene infront of me that doesn't seem very interesting to me …and forcing myself to look harder, work harder to see more, or see differently to try and make a picture."
Let your friends at Confluence Magazine sort through the treasure chest of documentaries about photography and photographers, and offer you a quick take on the film - to help you prioritize your own photo-based binging!
"This book made me wish I had started taking photos earlier in my life. It reinforced the importance of documenting things that change or disappear over time – people die, fashion changes, cities gentrify. Even if you don't publish the shots, you will leave a legacy or your life and of the world. "
"We are subjectively looking at the world through our lenses, which already alters reality some. What we choose to include in the frame is based on a lot of subconscious thinking, and also our perception of how things are in that moment. Once we go back and beautify our images, some of that information can be lost. The image no longer says what was true in the moment the shutter went off, another layer of subjectivity has been added in post-production. When it's done with a heavy hand it can significantly alter the message of the image. "
"I've spent 16 years as a sort of mediator between photographers and readers/viewers, helping to determine what people want to know about a documentary photo, how to pull that information together, and how to present it clearly. Here are some things to consider before and during your coverage, and some tips on conveying information in captions."
"What happened there could happen to any of us here, or on the east coast for that matter, and all that decides our fate sometimes is a wobble. "
Order a print
and help change the face of documentary photography
Each issue of Confluence Magazine will highlight one photograph from one project, and that photograph will be made available through Confluence for order as fine art print. A percentage of sales will go back to the photographer, and the rest will help Confluence Magazine grow in a sustainable and professional manner. The 8x10 archival ink jet print will be made on Hahnemuhle fine art paper, with a wide border, ready for framing.

Here are some important website maintenance pointers to keep in mind when developing your online marketing strategy. Remember this is not an exhausted list rather a guide to help you increase your sites performance platform core.
Stay on top of it – You can bet that your competitors are. From tags to copy, from images to keywords, it is always important to keep your website updated. Keep in mind that it is not just your industry that is changing. Search engines are getting smarter, new forms of marketing avenues are arising and the consumer is becoming more e-savvy. Properly maintaining a website is a full time job that never ends. If I had one area to focus my attention, it would be always having current copy. This will not only assure that your site stays current with consumers trends and changes in the industry, but it will also support your search engine optimization initiatives. Search engines respond well to relevant and fresh copy that relate to your chosen keywords. Adding new content will ensure that your site ranks high and that the bots return more often. Testing is also a good way to make sure you are staying on top of your consumer's needs and wants. Your homepage is a great place to start. You have less than eight seconds to present the information the consumer is looking for in a way that is appealing to them or you will see less than ideal conversions. Your website should be treated like a car. You just fill it with gas and it will only run so long but with regular maintenance and some care, you will ensure that it will be a well oiled machine for years to come.
Don't give up on traditional marketing – Is online marketing a cost effective form of marketing? Of course it is, however it can be less effective if traditional forms of marketing are ignored or discarded. Traditional marketing helps make your online marketing spend as productive as possible. Let's compare it to search engine optimization (SEO) and sponsored search (PPC). Company #1 spends a great deal of time and money optimizing their site for search engines and spends a great deal per month making sure they are always in the first spot for paid search. They are seeing good lead volume for the cost and decide to cut all traditional marketing and just stick to online marketing thinking this will help keep costs down. Firm #2 takes a similar approach but decides to restrict its online marketing spend by ranking in the second or third spot on sponsored search and puts the additional funds towards traditional marketing. Now this raises an interesting question. As a consumer, you are doing a search and see both Firm #1 and Firm #2 rank highly in natural search and Firm #1 is doing a bit better in sponsored search. What happens next is the key to the point that I am making. Your odds of winning that consumers click are much better for Firm #2 because the consumer is already familiar with that brand through traditional marketing. The key is to find the most appropriate balance between your online spend and traditional marketing spend to help insure that you are getting the most out of every marketing dollar.
