Six Anoka County Board seats are up for grabs on Nov. 6, thanks to redistricting. Jim Kordiak is the only incumbent who will not have to run for reelection. Districts 2, 3 and 5 feature some familiar names and fascinating races.
District 5
Carol LeDoux vs. Scott Bromley
Carol LeDoux knew she had a tough act to follow. Two years ago she was elected to the county board seat vacated by her late husband, one-time heavyweight boxing contender Scott LeDoux, one of the most popular figures in county history. LeDoux's campaign slogan then was "continue the fight."
"Authentic leaders welcome good ideas and recognize they come from a diverse set of perspectives," she says. "Successful businesses, CEOs and leaders recognize that collaboration is necessary to meet common goals.
"This, briefly, is what is missing in government today. Partisanship has polarized the political process so citizens can no longer expect their officials to accomplish the work they have been elected to do. Our citizens deserve better," she says.
Scott Bromley, owner of Bromley Printing and founder of Anoka County Farms in Ham Lake, says it is vital that Anoka County attract new businesses, in addition to protecting the county's existing businesses.
"Making smart investments and maintaining business-friendly tax policies will help improve the economic climate here in the county, with more robust businesses, better business prospects, more jobs," he says.
Last year, Bromley was appointed to serve as a manager on the Coon Creek Watershed District.
He had violated a wetland-conservation cease-and-desist order seven years before, but had since complied with "restoration orders," according to a letter from the Army Corp of Engineers.
Bromley says he has served on the boards of several foundations. He also says he grew up in Anoka County and hopes "voters are excited by my candidacy, because I am excited to have the opportunity to serve them."
LeDoux says she holds a degree in Management Ethics and started her first business when she was 15.
She says she has worked for small businesses and Fortune 100 companies and has "learned how to meet the challenges we face today."
District 2
Andy Westerberg vs. Julie Braastad
Julie Braastad, a Ham Lake council member, says she feels the county board "is moving in the right direction." But she says the county "must begin to aggressively decrease" its debt of $210 million. She wants commissioners to become more active as lobbyists and wants the county to "stop wasting money on losing efforts like the Northstar commuter rail."
Braastad would like to see the county and its cities share assets -- including equipment, services, even employees.
Among her proudest accomplishments: She says she stopped Met Council's efforts to bring city sewer and water to Ham Lake, "which would have compromised the city's financial stability." She claims to have implemented a paperless process for City Council agenda items, saving expense and time. And she takes credit for bringing the reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to Ham Lake City Council meetings.
Incumbent Andy Westerberg has been on the County Board for less than two years. But he was a state legislator for eight years and also served on the Metropolitan Airports Commission and as a Minnesota Amateur Sports Commissioner.
He lists among his greatest accomplishments "an ability to work with people from all walks of life by listening to them and helping us find solutions to complicated problems."
He considers himself a fiscal conservative, wanting to reduce spending and lower taxes. Public safety and transportation issues are among his priorities.
He wants the county to take "the direction that benefits everyone -- moving forward without leaving some behind."
"I enjoy the job," he said of serving on the County Board. "I am happy with the accomplishments we have achieved."
District 3
Robyn West vs. Dan Sanders
Dan Sanders, owner of Best Steel Erectors, says he works with owners, engineers, designers and general contractors to ensure that projects are run well.
"I hold a unique skill of bringing people together, which is missing in the present County Board," he says.
Sanders' company installs steel on bridges and parking ramps and he wants to be the bridge between the County Board and the working class.
He says the present board, "however well intended, is on a path of eliminating jobs they deem not needed." But those are the jobs, Sanders says, that put food on the table.
He said if jobs are cut, the county must find ways to provide other jobs.
"I campaign on the future, not the status quo," he said. "I believe in solar, wind and bio tech. This is the future. If we are to ensure our children and grandchildren of caring for their families, we must not just look at today, but tomorrow.
"There is a lot of pain out there and people are confused," he said. "I intend to change this."
West, the board's vice chairwoman, was a political unknown when she was first elected in 2006. But, she says, they know her now. She's proud of the relationship she's forged with her constituents.
"In this time of economic malaise, it gives [constituents] confidence to hear that their county representative is proactive in trying to keep the costs of doing business low," West said.
She would like to see the county "stay the course" and says that all levels of government should cut spending.
"My greatest regret is that at this stage of my life, when my children are having their children and retirement is in the near future, we are in the very worst economic situation in our lifetime," West said.
"As an elected official, I need to constantly remember how the dynamics of government affect families during this time."

Washington Post Staff Writer

Is it deja vu all over again for Democrats?
Some neutral observers and senior strategists within the party have begun to believe that the national political environment is not only similar to what they saw in 1994 -- when Democrats lost control of the House and Senate -- but could in fact be worse by Election Day.
A quick look at the broadest atmospheric indicators designed to measure which way the national winds are blowing -- the generic ballot and presidential approval -- affirms the sense that the political environment looks every bit as gloomy for Democrats today as it did 16 years ago.
"President Obama's job [approval] number is likely to be as bad or worse than [Bill] Clinton's when November rolls around, the Democratic generic-ballot advantage of plus 12 to plus 15 in 2006 and 2008 is now completely gone, and conservatives are energized like 1994," said Stu Rothenberg, an independent political analyst and editor of the Rothenberg Political Report, a well-read campaign tip sheet.
The generic ballot -- would you vote for an unnamed Democrat or an unnamed Republican? -- is either similar or worse for Democrats (depending on which poll you look at) than it was in 1994.
In an August 1994 Washington Post-ABC News poll, 49 percent of respondents said they would vote for the Democrat while 42 percent said they would back the Republican. Last month, 47 percent said they would support the Republican while 46 percent chose the Democrat.
The results were strikingly similar in several other national surveys. In an August 1994 Gallup poll, 46 percent said they would vote for the Democrat and an equal 46 percent said they would support the Republican. The most recent Gallup data give Republicans an edge of 50 percent to 43 percent over Democrats. A CNN/Opinion Research poll shows that in August 1994, Republicans had a generic-ballot lead of 46 percent to 44 percent, a margin similar to the numbers in CNN data, 48 percent to 45 percent, this month.
Presidential approval numbers paint a slightly more optimistic picture for Democrats. In mid-August 1994, Clinton's approval rating in Gallup polling stood at 39 percent; Obama is at 44 percent approval in Gallup's most recent weekly tracking poll. (By Election Day or slightly before it in 1994, Clinton's approval numbers had bumped back up to 46 percent.) In the Post-ABC survey, a similar trend is borne out: Clinton was at 44 percent approval in August 1994, and Obama is at 50 percent this month.
Combine the similarities between 1994 and 2010 on the generic ballot and presidential approval with a clear intensity gap between the Republican base (fired up to vote) and the Democratic base (less so), and Democratic strategists are worried that they are watching history repeat itself.
"Our losses occurred because Republican turnout was massive," said one senior party strategist deeply involved in the 1994 campaign. "The right was motivated in 1994, and while it would have seemed impossible to me then, it feels like the Republicans are much more motivated to participate in this election" than they were then.
Although few savvy Democratic strategists debate the difficulty of the national political environment, they do note that there are two important differences between the 1994 election and this one.
The first is the relative weakness of the Republican brand. In 1994, Republicans had been out of power in the House for four decades, and most voters had a limited sense of what a GOP House would be like. In 2010, the American public has fired Republicans -- in the House, Senate and White House -- twice in the past four years. And, in a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal survey, the GOP had its lowest favorability ratings ever. (We repeat: ever.)
Second, Democrats understand the building frustration and desire for change in a way that the party simply didn't get 16 years ago. "The one advantage Democrats have is early-warning radar that we are facing a tough environment, and many of our incumbents have geared up their campaigns much earlier than in 1994," said Fred Yang, a leading Democratic pollster. "The possible wave may be too big for any campaign, but we're going to be ready this time and run harder and more aggressive campaigns."
Yang's last point is the central question on which the comparison between 1994 and 2010 rests: Can well-run and well-funded campaigns by Democratic incumbents save them from being dragged out to sea politically? Democrats think so, Republicans hope not.
Charlie Cook, a political handicapper and editor of the Cook Political Report, acknowledged that every election has "its own set of unique characteristics and dynamics" but added that Democrats shouldn't take too much comfort in that. "Is 2010 the same as 1994? No, it isn't," he said. "But that doesn't mean that the outcome can't be roughly comparable."
Cook also noted that the state of the economy, which may have mitigated Democratic losses in 1994 with an unemployment rate of 5.6 percent, almost certainly will exacerbate them this year, as unemployment now stands at 9.5 percent.

Ontario Beekeepers Association requests support to ban neonicotinoids
August 7, 2013
Dear friends,
Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you, farmer to farmer, about the OBA's request for a suspension on neonicotinoid pesticides for field crops.
As someone whose family is still farming and who is running a large beekeeping operation, I understand full well the challenges we all face to make a living, to provide a future for our children, to be good stewards of the land and contributing members of the community.
Our decision to call for a suspension of these pesticides was not taken lightly or made easily. We had hoped that Best Management Practices might be effective, and we developed tools and partnerships to that end. Unfortunately, even with the BMP's in place and efforts on the part of beekeepers to avoid exposure, bee mortality associated with plantings of corn, canola and soybeans has continued. And despite attempts to control dust from planting, pesticide residues are being found in adjacent fields and in soil and water.
Like the European Union, who has suspended the use of these pesticides, we didn't just use our personal experience in coming to our position. We turned to science for answers. And what we found is very troubling. Independent study after study confirms that these pesticides live on in the soil for years, contaminate our water, drift to wild habitats and kill not only honey bees, but the other pollinators we rely on for our fruit and vegetable crops. Bees aren't just dying immediately upon exposure, scientists are confirming the longer-term, sub-lethal effects of pesticide exposure as well.
There is no doubt that these pesticides are killing bees. PMRA confirmed that the extensive bee kills in 2012 were associated with the planting of corn in at least 70% of the cases reported. Preliminary reports indicate that 2013 is at least as bad as 2012, especially when winter losses are factored in.
Every week I hear from beekeepers, some second and third generation like myself, who tell me they cannot continue to sustain these losses. We are all concerned about where our industry is headed. We realize that other issues such as pests and diseases, habitat loss and nutrition are all factors in bee health, but these we can, and do, manage.
We have heard from many farmers who support the suspension and who believe there are alternative products and practices. We urge you to learn more and reach an informed position. We hope you will agree that preserving our beekeeping industry and saving our pollinators is of vital concern to all farmers.
So much depends on it.
Dan Davidson,
President firstname.lastname@example.com

text: Employee mistake costs employer thousands Employees are often trusted with expensive and necessary work equipment, but a small mistake on their part could have heavy costs for an organization. One Saskatoon business owner has learned that the hard way after his vehicle was impounded when an employee was caught using a mobile phone while driving. An employee of K3 Excavating was caught for the second time driving while using his phone. This time, he was driving a work truck and the vehicle was impounded for seven days. Owner Kevin Boychuk told CBC he's the victim of a technicality and it's costing him at least $800 per day, plus hundreds of dollars in towing and impound fees. Regardless of who owns the vehicle, if the driver commits an offence, is suspended or disqualified from driving the vehicle can be impounded. "It just didn't make any sense that the company who did not commit the traffic offence, nor did any of the owners of the company commit the traffic offence, that we were being punished quite severely," Boychuk said. "Our company certainly supports the law but a change to the regulations [is needed] to help businesses to get their earning equipment back." Boychuk said he doesn't think it's a deterrent to punish a company when it already has policies and procedures in place. However, Saskatchewan Government Insurance vice president Earl Cameron said employers can make sure there is Bluetooth or hands free technology installed to ensure workers don't have to pick up the phone. "I'm sympathetic to owners, but there's also a responsibility on owners to make sure their drivers have good driving records," he said. "When you hire someone, you check that out — especially a commercial driver." Leave a comment SHARE

Name the one thing that always go with you wherever you go. Maybe it's a bit of a trick question, but the answer I was looking for is "shoes." Whether you're at the office, at the gym, taking a hike, in the bathroom, or even scaling Mount Everest, you're most likely wearing something on your feet. Other than in the winter, however, most of us don't really think too often about the distinction between indoor and outdoor shoes. Most of the year, we come back home and keep wearing our shoes for some time.
In some cultures, with the Japanese being the most prominent, wearing shoes inside the house is heavily frowned upon. Now, there is mounting scientific evidence that this practice of removing shoes may have far greater benefits than simply appeasing a Japanese host.
Like most people, I don't usually take off my shoes at home unless they look like this:
Unfortunately, researchers at the University of Arizona found a shocking truth. There are, on average, nearly 421,000 different bacteria present on the bottoms of 96% of shoes. Basically, your shoes are a petri dish you walk on.
Among these bacteria are Klebsiella pneumoniae (which causes urinary tract infections), Serratia ficaria (which causes respiratory infection), and a whole lot of E. coli.
E. coli is no fun. It can cause serious digestive issues and, in extreme cases, can even result in potentially lethal kidney damage.
The major source of E. coli on your shoes? Trace fecal matter from public restroom floors.
Sadly, even if you visited only the most immaculate public toilets, there's plenty of animal fecal matter on the ground/sidewalk/road. It's everywhere.
Interestingly enough, public restroom floors have around two million bacteria per square inch, while the average toilet seat only comes in at 50 per square inch! You should be way more worried about the floor than the seat.
Not only did researchers find bacteria on the shoes, they found that that bacteria gets tracked over long distances via your shoes to then potentially contaminate your personal space. The transfer of bacteria from shoe soles to home floors was anywhere from 95 to 99 percent.
William Reed Business Media SAS
Other studies have found that other toxins like lawn chemicals, coal tar from asphalt roads, and gasoline and other chemicals in rainwater can all be tracked into your home via your shoes as well. Though the risk of illness from these is comparatively small, it can potentially build up over time with prolonged exposure.
So are we all supposed to live in a world full of plastic booties for our shoes?
Thankfully, no. Machine washing your shoes with detergent on a semi-regular basis should help drastically reduce bacteria. Cleaning your home floors and carpets is also recommended (especially steam cleaning).
If that sounds like a bit of a hassle, the simplest solution is to ditch your shoes at the door when you come home and get yourself some nice slippers. You can even get ones that look like sharks!
Be sure to SHARE these helpful tips with your friends and family!

Wayne Rooney is reportedly on Real Madrid's shopping list.
The Manchester United and England striker, 28, is one of three summer targets for the Spanish giants this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
The others are said to be Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Monaco's unsettled Colombian goalscorer Radamel Falcao.
City are unlikely to let Aguero go and Falcao is tied in to a long contract in the south of France, which leaves Rooney as perhaps the most likely signing of the three.
Rooney, now into the last 18 months of his current deal at Old Trafford, is understood to be waiting until at least the summer to see who else David Moyes brings in before making a decision about his future.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti knows Rooney well from his own time at Chelsea but the driving force behind any move is understood to be club president Florentino Perez, who is said to have been an admirer of the England star for some time.
United are said to want to offer Rooney a new four-year £250,000 a week plus incentives deal to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

CULTURE CLUB: Work or play? At a dinner Wednesday night marking the close of Paris Fashion Week hosted by French culture minister Frédéric Mitterand, designers were destined for one of those pursuits. "Rest," Yohji Yamamoto sighed, enjoying a cigarette on the balcony overlooking Palais-Royal's picturesque gardens. He said he has another relaxing Paris pastime: painting. But no landscapes for him. "Just women," he grinned.
Lanvin's Alber Elbaz also had leisure in mind, and quizzed other party guests for spa recommendations. "I'm going to Scotland to disappear in the nature," Haider Ackermann said.

Jean Paul Gaultier said he already started work on his next collection, but would take a side trip to Brazil with his buddy Farida Khelfa, who is presenting her documentary about Gaultier at a festival in Rio.
Azzedine Alaïa disclosed he's gearing up for a retrospective exhibition opening Dec. 11 at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands. It will be curated by Mark Wilson and showcase Alaïa's fashions since the turn of the millennium.
Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, Giambattista Valli and Christophe Lemaire were among guests mingling with fashion executives like Sidney Toledano, Bruno Pavlovsky and Pierre Bergé. The dinner was to belatedly celebrate the 2011 winner of the ANDAM Fashion Award, Anthony Vaccarello, who dressed Lou Doillon in a skimpy black dress with straps on the back arranged into peace-sign formation.

Insights into colour-tuning of chlorophyll optical response in green plants
Here, we performed first-principles calculations within the framework of real-space time-dependent density functional theory for the complete chlorophyll (Chl) network of the light-harvesting complex from green plants, LHC-II. A local-dipole analysis method developed for this work has made possible the studies of the optical response of individual Chl molecules subjected to the influence of the remainder of the chromophore network. The spectra calculated using our real-space TDDFT method agree with previous suggestions that weak interaction with the protein microenvironment should produce only minor changes in the absorption spectrum of Chl chromophores in LHC-II. In addition, relative shifting of Chl absorption energies leads the stromal and lumenal sides of LHC-II to absorb in slightly different parts of the visible spectrum providing greater coverage of the available light frequencies. The site-specific alterations in Chl excitation energies support the existence of intrinsic energy transfer pathways within the LHC-II complex.

June 18: Appearance of Our Lady to St Agnes of Montepulciano, Italy
Saint Agnes of Montepulciano was born into a noble family in the village of Gracciano, Italy, in about the year 1268. A miracle occurred to demonstrate that she was a predestined soul, for it is recalled that burning torches appeared to illuminate her crib on the day she was born. Agnes was no more than four years old when she began seeking solitude where she could pray privately for many hours to Jesus, whom she already loved.
At the age of nine Saint Agnes told her parents that she desired to enter the Dominican monastery at nearby Montepulciano. Both parents initially opposed Agnes' wish, so she prayed that God might change their opinions. In a short time she entered the convent and began living under the rule of Saint Augustine.
The sisters she lived with soon recognized that Agnes appeared more like an angelic spirit than a human being. She lived an austere life, sleeping on the ground with a stone for a pillow, and fasted on bread and water.
To test Agnes' holiness and commitment to her prayer life, the sisters gave her difficult duties to perform in the convent. They were greatly edified to see that Agnes regularly completed her duties without complaint, and that she continued with her prayer life and regular acts of charity. In fact, it was about this time that Agnes could be observed absorbed in prayer while seemingly unaware that she was suspended nearly two feet above the ground, or violets, lilies or roses would be found growing up through the stones where Saint Agnes had just prayed.
Several of the residents of the town of Procena built a monastery for their daughters, and naturally desired that Saint Agnes should come with some of her sisters and become the prioress of the new convent. Agnes was only 15 years old, and feared for her humility should she accept the position. Pope Nicholas IV commanded her to accept the office, so she agreed to become the superior of the sisters there.
There are many miracles recorded at this time involving St Agnes of Montepulciano. She frequently multiplied loaves, as Christ did in the gospels, to feed those in need. She had also apparently reached such a level of sanctity that invalids and those afflicted with different types of mental illness would be restored to health just by being brought into her presence.
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Agnes and told her that she would one day found a large monastery based on faith in the Most High and undivided Trinity. She did in fact establish the convent under the Dominican rule, as she had been instructed by an angel, about the year 1300, as the citizens of Montepulciano had built a new convent there, hoping to lure Agnes back to them. She governed there until her death in 1317.
Agnes was known to have experienced several visions during her life. On the night of the Feast of the Assumption, the Blessed Virgin placed the Infant Jesus in her arms. She encouraged Agnes to continue suffering for the love of Christ – she had been sick practically all her life. The Mother of God left with St Agnes of Montepulciano a small cross to comfort and strengthen her. This little cross is still shown with great solemnity to pilgrims, especially during the month of May. Mary likewise vouchsafed Agnes a vision of Christ's suffering, which lasted three days.
To comfort Agnes, Mary appeared to her on the feast of the Purification while she was at Holy Mass. Mary told her this was the hour she had taken the Child Jesus to offer Him in the Temple. Our Lady smiled sweetly, and gave Agnes her Babe to hold and caress. Saint Agnes was also known to have received Holy Communion from an angel. She experienced repeated levitations, as noted above, and performed miracles for the faithful of the region.
Shortly before her death, Saint Agnes was sent to bathe in springs that were thought to have curative powers. The waters did nothing to help Agnes, though a new spring emerged close by which did indeed have curative power. It was given the name "the Water of Saint Agnes." While there, the saint prayed over a child who had recently drowned, bringing the child back to life.
St Agnes of Montepulciano then went back to the monastery, where she died on April 20th, 1317, at the age of only 43. Her body was found to be incorrupt, and a mysterious, sweet smelling liquid was observed to stream from both her hands and feet. When Saint Catherine of Siena went to pray before Saint Agnes' incorrupt body, the deceased saint lifted her foot for Saint Catherine to kiss. She also revealed to Saint Catherine that they would both enjoy the same amount of glory in heaven.
St Agnes of Montepulciano was solemnly canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726. Her feast day is April 20th.

Gin For Tea #10: - Malfy Gin
*Name: Malfy GQDI - Gin Di Qualita Distillato (41% ABV)
Distilled: Italy, at the family distillery of it's makers, in Moncalieri, just outside Torino. It is distilled in a stainless steel vacuum still, and the family in question are the Vergnano family: Carlo, his wife Piera and their children Rita and Valter.
Encountered: The short answer is 'in M&S' but the long and possibly more interesting answer is that I started seeing pictures of Malfy gin on Instagram, and I was drawn to the beautiful bright blue and yellow colours of the bottle, which call to mind sunshine and beautiful skies and seas. I had no idea what the gin would taste like but I thought that I would like some just for the colours! Then I came across a bottle in my local M&S food hall and I was so happy! The bottle came home with me immediately (I paid for it, obvs).
Flavours According To Me: This gin absolutely BURSTS with the flavour of beautiful Italian lemons and it's like summer is exploding in your mouth as soon as you take a sip. It is extremely crisp and wonderfully sharp and sweet, although not sickly in the slightest. It calls to mind the taste of Limoncello*, a drink I like very much indeed, or lemon sorbet, a food I like even more! The juniper comes afterwards, and while it is there, I feel that this is definitely another gin that is made for people who don't really like gin, because it's ALMOST not like gin at all.
*Limoncello, incidentally, originates from Southern Italy and uses lemons taken from coastal regions such as the Amalfi coast - just as the lemons for Malfy are!
Actual flavours: Malfy uses Italian lemons grown in coastal regions such as the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. There are 6 other botanicals including the juniper, also Italian of course.
Extra Good Stuff: The back of the bottle tells a story that I really like:
'My uncle used to "enjoy the view" looking over the Italian seacoast with his gin and tonic. He would slice a lemon from his favourite tree and splash it in his drink. Malfy marries the finest Italian coastal lemons with our family's unique gin recipe to help you "enjoy the view".
And to help us along with enjoying the view, Malfy put loads of beautiful coastal Italian scenes, drenched in sunshine, on their Instagram page. So maybe look at those when drinking this gin, so you can pretend you are in the Med rather than Medway. Or you know, wherever you happen to be.
Trivia: Malfy claim that gin began in Italy - invented by 11th Century monks on the Salerno coast. I haven't done the research required to discover if gin actually DID begin in Italy or not, because I'm committed to the gin cause, but slightly pushed for time. Still, it's nice to think of Italian monks adding 'ginepro' (juniper) to their alcohol and producing gin, before the rest of the world caught on. They probably couldn't post photos of the results on Instagram.
You Can't Judge a Bottle By It's Cover: ....but if you could, this one would be a winner. The light blue and bright yellow colours are eye catching and dazzling. The cork is shot through the middle with a light blue wax seal and the shape is of a pleasing, squat and rounded persuasion that makes one think of apothecary bottles and therefore harks back to the olden days. All in all, it's a happy display that fronts this even happier tasting gin.
Did I Like It?: Now, I don't want to get carried away or anything but if I'm absolutely honest, I think this is my new favourite gin. My previous favourite was Monkey 47, but that German delicacy has been toppled, in favour of sunshine and Italian lemons. I bought my 70cl bottle of Malfy in April and there is only about a third left. I know I should save some and drink it only on special occasions but I can't help it - it's too delicious, and goes especially well with this lovely spring weather we've been having (in between the rain showers!).
Can You Buy It?: Yes, as mentioned above, you can get your hands on a bottle at branches of Marks and Spencer, or you can buy it from the official website, although it will re-direct you to a different online shop, depending on what country you reside in.
Gin For Tea Rating: This is a tricky one. My instinct is to give it a 10, precisely because I love it so much. However, I did write above that this isn't a traditional gin, and that's true. In fact, it's SO un-gin like, and more akin to limoncello, that you can sip it quite easily. The juniper comes through, but not strongly. If I tasted it blindfold, I'm not sure I would identify that it is a gin. So taking that into account, I'm giving it a 7/10. Everything about it is delightful. But it's not really gin as I know it.

As smart phones and tablets flood the market, a quickly emerging trend is the use of apps and social gaming to encourage healthy eating and exercise habits.
Brands that are focused on improving health have seen this as an opportunity to drive healthy behavior changes and build lasting relationships with customers.
Why does gaming work?
The theory is games satisfy some of our fundamental desires such as reward, competition, status, achievement, and selflessness. BJ Fogg and his team at the Stanford University have developed a behavior model to help designers and developers identify what stops people from performing desired behaviors. They outline three factors that must happen together in order to get a change in behavior - motivation, ability, and trigger.
Examples of apps that support diet and exercise
There are many apps available to consumers to help them on their weight loss journey. These applications can be so sophisticated that they could be considered a personal trainer.
Some apps are simply designed to allow users to track and share. Worksmart Labs and MapMyFITNESS, Inc. both provide smartphone apps that allow users to record workouts, track eating habits and share their accomplishments with friends. Both of these apps use built-in GPS technology to enable users to record and chart their daily fitness activities.
Other apps such as MeYou Health utilize gaming triggers. Their product, Daily Challenge, is an application that encourages users to take small, achievable steps toward healthy living every day. Once the task is accomplished, the user can choose to share with their network.
Rapidly growing in popularity are the applications that also leverage virtual economies and customer rewards. Examples include:
- Nike+: users earn NikeFuel to unlock awards, trophies, and surprises. Users can also use a number of different mobile devices and gadgets to automatically track their activities.
- Healthper: a social game that regularly rewards its members with unique gifts and merchant deals for accomplishing tasks and challenges.
- Fitocracy: users are encouraged to participate in activities and challenges to earn points. Once a certain number of points are earned the user has the option to level up. Leveling up unlocks new accomplishments and quests.
- Zamzee: an online rewards program for teens that is powered by their physical activity. The amount of movement powers the online rewards account, where a virtual currency can be used to purchase both virtual and real goods.
Marketers can capture the attention of social gamers multiple times a day with these apps. Econsultancy's Social Gaming Smart Pack highlights various business models and monetization techniques used in social gaming including:
- Branded content
- Virtual goods
- In-game advertising
- Display advertising
- Lead generation offers
Brands that can offer services or products that support a consumer's journey to achieving a healthy weight can benefits from exposure and brand recognition by incorporating social gaming into their marketing campaigns.
What's next?
The question is not what, but when and who. Social gaming is still in its infancy and is rapidly growing. Social games and applications can be created for any industry with the intent of making the lives of its users easier. The question we should be asking is who will come up with the next big idea first.
You can learn more about social gaming, location-based marketing, and mobile advertising in Econsultancy's Social Gaming Smart Pack.
Comments (1)
It's a very interesting concept but I can't help but feel it's lacking a 3rd dimension. That of reward (or indeed gratification).
Just because the ease of use can help even the lowest of motivated user active the trigger it does stand to reason that the reward received from the activation would in the end deliver (or not) a level of satisfaction. And it's that satisfaction that would drive repeat engagement.
I wonder if you were to overlay gratification as a function of relevancy how that would change the concept and graph...

Is it legal
Archer, I'm not sure it is legal.
You would have to chase down the Marblehead rules and see what is an isn't legal. The boat belongs to one of our club members and he has only had it out to the pond a couple of times since he bought it. One of those project boats that you plan to get around to fixing.
This is the first r/c sailboat that I had seen with them.
Sierra MYC Pond Report Aug 31, 2008
Yo Commodores!
The temperature dropped, the wind came up and we had sailboats on the pond. Life is good.
Jeff, John, and Christian were at the pond when I got there. They had Meansis and were ready to sail. I pulled out a Victoria and John and Christian took turns with it. Herb came out with his Victoria and enjoyed the day with us. Everyone enjoyed the air. I have my IOM Modom with me and everyone got a shot at sailing it. It was almost too much air for the A suit I have on it. Meansis did well with the ODOM sail. The Vics had all the air they needed.
At one point the batteries ran down on my Victoria and I took out a bunch of water it had taken on. But with new batteries it was back out there washing it's sails.
Al and Ruthie came out for a bit. It was great to see them. They were all dressed up for a big day out on the town, Costco I think. They looked very dapper and spry.
Herb gave me an offer on the Mystery Fairwind. I told him that he offered too much and told him lower... He took the boat home to see if the "warden" will let him keep it. Hope so.
Jeff said he and John will have their Victoria ready in three weeks.
Charge up the batteries and catch ya at the pond.
Building a Club
Hi AJ,
I want to encourage you to start a club. Get a boat or two and start going to your favorite pond that has folks that drive by or come out for a picnic. When someone comes up hand them the controller. Print up some business cards with a club name, your email address and phone number. My business cards are just printed on plain paper, and are maybe 1/4" by 3" wide. I take old copies of tower hobbies or magazines with you to hand them so they know where they can buy a boat.
Picking a day of the week and showing up every week maybe the key. We tried it just showing up the first Sunday of the month and that didn't seem to do it here. Going to every week and being there a few hours over time I think helped a bunch. Folks can find you and will come back.
Our goal at first was centered on racing but we found over time that not everyone wants to race. So we are fairly casual about racing and try to focus on enjoyment. We still race but we have multiple classes of boats on the water.
We dropped some of those "business cards" off at the hobby story in town too just so they could direct their customers our way. You might talk to them about a club discount too. You can create a free Yahoo group site and put the Yahoo group web name on the business card too.
You can do it...
Listen to what Rick said. I found the SMYC by accident; I was going to a cabin fever show in Visalia and saw the sailboats on Plaza Pond. I had a RC sailboat and stopped by and talked to Rick about the club.
I joined the club and have been going to Plaza Pond for about two years now. We really have some good times there. Beware sailing is addictive.
I now have about 6 or 7 sailboats and a couple of tugs.
Don M.
Thats wicked... Ill try and generate some intrest in my yacht club (for 1:1 scale yachts)
and see where it goes from there. theres a square jetty that goes the whole way around a part of the river (bicton baths to create a makeshift pond. If it isnt too busy we could sail in there, if not out the front of the yacht club would do nicely.
Sierra MYC Pond Report Sept 7, 2008
Yo Commodores!
Varoom to the pond in style.
How about them sailboat trailers. Bill White showed up today with his new trailer for the back of his Goldwing. WOW that was cool. Inside the trailer was a Fairwind and it looked like he had lots of room for scores of Footys too.
Herb and Don made it to the pond first and were sailing a Victoria and a Voyager. Don's Voyager was sporting a new set of Chuck Blacks ODOM sails. Don said he just purchased two suits of sails one for the Voyager and the other for his US 1 meter boat. They looked great and it enhanced the boats performance.
Herb reported he isn't going to be putting on the rails on his Fairwind, and has spent time rubbing out the paint job on his new boat. He will be ordering a set of sails for his Voyager.
Bill sailed his Fairwind and I sailed my ODOM. We discussed the picnic coming up on the 21'st a bit. Looks like things are still a go. And everyone is looking forward to the cooler weather.
Marc and Tyler came out later in the day and sailed their Footy and Snipe. They said they were out to the pond on Friday and ran the PT power boat. Marc said two trucks with park rangers came up but just sat and watched as the PT boat cruised the lake and they didn't say anything.
Marc and Tyler both enjoyed the boats from Ron the micro submarine and the power boat. I can't wait to see what they do with them. Marc said his Lido 14 is about ready to hit the water. They had to order a new axel for the trailer but that should be in shortly and they will be all set to go out.
It was a fun day at the pond. Charge up your batterys and we will see ya there.
I really like the Chuck Black Sails!
More pictures.
Captain Don.
WOW! Man, did I ever pick the WRONG day to miss sailing at Plaza Park!!
Congrats Millertime on the sweet set of sails, I'll bet that made all the diffeance in the performance of that boat! I can't say enough about the Goldwing/Bushtec combo!!!! Way to go Bill. I came close to ridin up there, but knew the weather was just going to be to hot for the ride coming home, so I watched the NASCAR race instead. errrrrrrrrrr Well, better get going on the download of all the great pictures. Thanks for posting Millertime.
San Luis Obispo Model Yacht Club
I can tell by your posts you all are avid RC sailors. If any of you visit the central coast be sure and check out our lake. We sail every Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting around 9 or so. We have race markers permanently in place and all have CR 914's but anyone with any kind of boat is welcome. Our lake is called Laguna Lake and is sort of close to the Madonna Inn if any of your are familliar with it. More info about our club and directions to the lake can be found at: http://llmyc.spaces.live.com/
Hope to see you over here sometime.
Phil Adams CR914 #1346 "Makani"
Hi Phil,
Looks like a nice lake.
If we come over do we have to stay at the Madonna Inn?
Don M.
Heck no you don't have to stay at the Madonna Inn, there are lots of places to stay in San Luis Obispo and the surrounding area. However if you are interested in cake or pie at all, the restaurant there at the Madonna Inn might just be your Mecca.
I will send some more photos of the lake and racing there soon.
Hey Ron,
We missed you at the pond Sunday, we had to pick on each other.

Seaton Beach
Seaton Beach is a must for those with an interest in dinosaurs and fossils. Often known as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, the mile long beach at Seaton Bay has been the site of rare fossil finds for centuries, some of which are amongst the most significant in geological history.
The Jurassic Coast dates back 185 million years, and it's difficult to imagine the cliffs you see today standing in the period when dinosaurs ruled. Whether you choose Seaton Bay beach to enjoy the safe swimming, gently sloping pebble beach or spectacular scenery...keep your eyes peeled for a find.
These days the closest you'll get to the dinosaurs is the sight of dogs enjoying the beach, as they're welcome throughout the year and as the route to access the beach from the road is level it's not a bad choice for those with pushchairs.
There are amenities close to the beach, and it's worth noting that the car parks can get pretty packed on a warm summer's day. If this happens you'll find a few spots on the road beside the beach if you arrive early enough.

Reports Letters of Interest from Duke Energy, Orlando, Says W-15 Will Be First-Ever Electric Pickup from OEM
Workhorse is developing a range-extended electric pickup with a 2018 production target, the company said yesterday. Duke Energy is supporting the effort with a letter of interest, as is the city of Orlando, Workhorse says.
The new W-15 PHEV/plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will be "the first plug-in electric pickup in the world from an OEM," says Workhorse CEO Steve Burns.
"Lower fueling and maintenance costs are expected to deliver lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for fleet managers," Workhorse says.
"We are trying to do this to do about anything a Ford 150 can do," Burns told F&F. Workhorse is aiming for its W-15 range-extended pick-up to have a battery-only range of 80 miles. It's to be in production by 2018.
Workhorse is aiming for its W-15 range-extended pick-up to have a battery-only range of 80 miles. It's to be in production by 2018.
80 Miles on Batteries Alone
Battery-only range will be about 80 miles – sufficient for most utility work days, Burns says. But the addition of a trailer, or the need to travel in case of an emergency, require more range, hence the range-extender.
Duke operates about 100 electric vehicles now, including about 40 passenger vehicles and small bucket trucks from Via Motors, which installs electric drives in purchased GM and other OEM vehicles. Most of the utility's purchases, says fleet manager Mike Allison, fit with the new Workhorse offering.
Panasonic & BMW
"We think as an industry that electrification of vehicles is a good thing," he says. According to the Charlotte Business Journal, Duke could buy as many as 500 of the new PHEVs.
Workhorse uses 18650 lithium ion cells from Panasonic in its existing E-Gen range-extended and E-100 full battery electric vans, and will continue to do so for the W-15 – the company has in fact announced acquisition of a facility for battery pack manufacturing in Loveland, Ohio, where production is to commence in the first quarter of 2017.
Workhorse has found a new Tier One supplier of traction motors for the W-15 (the existing trucks use motors from TM4) and is expected to continue with BMW (F&F, May 9, 2016) for range-extending fuel engines.
Workhorse plans to offer 7.2 kilowatts of exportable power capability in the W-15, with an option for 14.4 kilowatts.
Exportable Power & Safety
"Millions of pickup trucks are sold in the United States each year and pickup trucks are a leading vehicle platform of choice for fleets," Workhorse says in its W-15 announcement. "The electric powered W-15 represents an opportunity to bring tremendous fuel savings and emissions reduction to the streets of America without sacrificing functionality.
"Additionally, the W-15's goal is to be the safest pickup truck on the market with its large frontal crumble zone and low center of gravity."
"We believe this will be the first plug-in range-extended electric pickup truck built from the ground up by an OEM in America," Burns says in the release. "It's not a conversion vehicle.
"We feel the extended range capability from the combination of Panasonic batteries and an on-board generator, will deliver the performance that fleet managers expect from a work truck."
See the W-15 at ACT Expo
"We expect to have a full working prototype at the ACT show," Burns says. "That's the goal."
The next Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, organized by Fleets & Fuels publisher GNA/Gladstein, Neandross & Associates, takes place May 1-4, 2017 at Southern California's Long Beach Convention Center.

I enjoy making my own wreaths for the front door instead of buying them. You can buy some pretty ones but often they need a little something extra and they are overpriced. I don't want them to look like everyone elses either. So, a quick trip to Michaels and I got the supplies to make a wreath.
I chose an oval grapevine wreath with a little area in front that serves as a little basket and a beautiful blue jay and some light blue ribbon. I already had two kinds of moss and some glue sticks and a hot glue gun (I mean HOT. ) It took about 15 minutes and a few burns later and the wreath is pictured below.
Since the wreath is rustic, I chose not to use the ribbon, I'll use that for another project. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. I do have to fight the urge to frufru sometimes.

Based on the former life of one of its own producers, Middle Men stars Luke Wilson as Jack, a family guy who gets rich on late-1990s Internet porn. (His specialty is unsexy credit-card billing systems.) So perhaps it's inevitable that this cranked-up drama wants it both ways. On the one hand, the movie revels in the world of skeevy Web entrepreneurs and the mobsters who demand a cut of the action. On the other, Jack comes out smelling like — well, maybe not like a rose, but certainly like a guy who anticipates his next career as a legit Hollywood producer. C+

I love the tagline for Hannah Free: "A film about a lifelong love affair between an independent spirit and the woman she calls home."
How perfect is that? I don't even have to see the movie to get teary-eyed.
In the film, Hannah (Sharon Gless) and Rachel (Maureen Gallagher) are two women who face the conflict between small-town values and their relationship.
According to the movie's website:
Here's the trailer. (If you get a request for your age at the beginning and don't want to see a scary ad for Saw, just click "cancel.")
Karman posted highlights of a Women & Hollywood interview with out director Wendy Jo Carlton earlier this year.
Director Wendy Jo Carlton and Sharon Gless on the set of Hannah Free
And last week, when Hannah Free premiered in Beverly Hills, SheWired.com interviewed Sharon Gless about being a lesbian icon and finally playing a lesbian onscreen. Here are a few excerpts from the interview.
On realizing she was a lesbian icon:
On Cagney & Lacey's lesbian audience:
On being in Hannah Free:
On how she is like Hannah:
Sharon Gless and Maureen Gallagher
On how the LGBT community can ensure the rights of its elders:
Be sure and read the rest of the interview — it proves once again that we have great taste in icons. Hannah Free will show at several LGBT film festivals in November and December; its official U.S. release date is Dec. 11.
Has anyone seen Hannah Free yet? Is it as great as it sounds? Will you be in the audience when it comes to your part of the world?

Jazz Band III is usually directed by a music major senior or graduate student, and offers an environment for students less familiar with jazz styles and improvisation a chance to explore. Often students are working on their doubles, sight reading and knowledge of jazz band literature. Many students are music education majors looking ahead to student teaching, and they often are given a chance to direct and coach the ensemble. Chart selection is focused on professional, college and high school level material performable by less experienced players, with emphasis on quality arrangers and writers. Student-written material is welcomed. As with the other ensembles, quality performance standards are the norm.

Make homemade powdered dishwasher detergent by mixing natural, nontoxic ingredients such as borax, washing soda, citric acid and kosher salt. Add essential oils if you want fragrance in your cleaner.Continue Reading
Scoop the borax into a glass jar. Borax is not toxic; however, if you are concerned about it, you can substitute an enzyme cleaner that does not contain borax.
This is a detergent booster that is similar to baking soda, but it is not edible.
Double the amount if you have hard water. This is an important ingredient for eliminating residue from dishes. The powdered detergent tends to clump because of the citric acid, so you can add a teaspoon of rice to the mixture to absorb moisture, and stir the powder daily to break up clumps. Another alternative is to add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of citric acid to each load instead of mixing it in with the detergent.
This ingredient helps with scrubbing action.
This is an optional step, but if you'd like to add a fragrance to your detergent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oils.
Put the lid on the jar and shake until all of the ingredients are well mixed.
You only need to use 1 tablespoon of this detergent per load.
Fill the rinse aid compartment of your dishwasher with white vinegar or lemon juice.

J.K. Rowling's Detective Books to Become BBC Series; Finally, Will This Be Her Big Break?
Quidditch Through the Ages becomes last unadapted Rowling project.
At a press event announcing new series (otherwise known as "seasons" in American English) of Sherlock and Luther, BBC One's Charlotte Moore also announced more details about the broadcaster's adaptations of Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike mysteries. Who cares? you might say, until you remember that Robert Galbraith is actually the pen name of Harry Potter fan-fiction author J.K. Rowling, who has written two Strike novels under the guise of the ex-soldier Galbraith, with a third on the way. The Beeb first announced it would adapt the books for TV in December, and Tuesday night Moore revealed the series would start production in the fall, with Julian Farino directing and Sarah Phelps and Ben Richards adapting the first and second Strike books, respectively. There's no word yet on who will play brilliant P.I. Cormoran Strike, nor his capable secretary Robin Ellacot; too bad Benedict Cumberbatch is probably busy, as he's the only person whose real name could possibly match these ones.
