Imam Whose Foes Go to Jail Blamed by Erdogan in Turk Probe
Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen is in poor health and hasn't set foot in his homeland this millennium, yet he directs a movement that tends to win its battles and has rattled its latest opponent, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan's government blames the U.S.-based Gulen, 75, for a corruption inquiry that led three cabinet ministers to quit, saying the preacher's supporters in the police and judiciary instigated the probe. The premier has purged hundreds of top officials as he vows to hit back.
For most of his 11 years in power, the Islamist-rooted Erdogan enjoyed support from Gulen's movement, sharing goals such as curbing the power of the secular army. In that period a series of generals and journalists and a senior police chief who clashed with Gulen supporters or objected to their influence in the Turkish state ended up in jail. Now it's Erdogan who's under pressure as the investigation exposes allies and roils markets.
Gulen "has a network covering the whole country," Erdogan's former deputy premier Abdullatif Sener, who resigned in 2007, said in a phone interview. "The government is going after the movement's members in the judiciary and police."
The two rivals are attacking each other in coded language. Without naming Gulen, Erdogan said on his Twitter account on Dec. 18 that a "state within a state" is behind the graft probe that targeted his ministers and their family members.
'Wreck Their Homes'
Gulen said his "whole community, people who devoted themselves to God," is coming under attack, and accused the government of shooting the messenger.
"Those who go after the people who catch the thieves, without seeing the thieves themselves, may God send fire upon their houses and wreck their homes," the cleric said in a sermon posted on the Herkul website, operated by followers who live with him on his retreat in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
Gulen doesn't have the "slightest involvement in or knowledge about" the graft inquiry, his lawyer Orhan Erdemli said. Allegations that the cleric influences court decisions through followers in the judiciary are "part of a black propaganda" campaign conducted against him, according to Nurullah Albayrak, another Gulen lawyer. The cleric's health problems mean he's not able to discuss the issue, affiliated organizations, including the Journalists and Writers Foundation and the Alliance for Shared Values, said in response to e-mailed questions.
Rhetorical Style
Gulen developed his rhetorical style and won a following while employed as an imam, or preacher, by the Turkish state. He worked in the country's wealthier west, where he persuaded businessmen to set up dormitories for needy students, according to a 2008 biography by journalist Faruk Mercan. Those later turned into schools that form a key part of his organization, helping to train teachers and volunteers for schools run by the group around the world, according to the book.
Gulen left Turkey in 1999 after tapes that showed him telling followers to infiltrate government institutions were broadcast on television. A year later, he was charged with forming a terrorist group to undermine the secular state. He was acquitted by the top appeals court in 2008.
Since then, Gulen's health has deteriorated. He has diabetes and was hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat in October, according to Herkul.
Deterioriating Ties
Relations between his movement and the government have worsened. After an Israeli raid on a Turkish aid ship killed nine people in 2010, Erdogan blamed Israel while Gulen criticized organizers for defying Israeli curbs on shipments to Gaza. Tensions resurfaced a year later, when prosecutors in the Gulen-backed probe of army officers attempted to question Turkey's intelligence chief, a close Erdogan ally.
In June 2012, Erdogan invited Gulen to return to Turkey, again without naming him. "Those who are absent from their home, those who yearn for their country's soil, we would like to see them among us," he said.
Gulen stayed in Pennsylvania. Two months later, he told The Atlantic magazine that his return would give groups he didn't identify an opportunity to "reverse democratic reforms."
This year, Gulen has chided the government for suppressing protests that spread through the country in June. The conflict burst into the open in November, when Erdogan proposed to shut down prep schools that coach students for university entrance exams, a source of revenue and followers for Gulen's movement.
Billions in Revenue
The schools take in $2 billion a year and employ about 100,000 teachers, according to an industry group cited by Gulen-linked newspaper Zaman. About a quarter of them have ties to the Gulen movement, Erdogan said last month.
The influence extends into manufacturing. The Gulen-affiliated group Tuskon, set up in 2005 by industrialists from central Turkey, now has about 50,000 members. It takes advantage of the movement's network in countries from Africa to Southeast Asia, Chairman Rizanur Meral told Le Monde Diplomatique two years ago.
"Turkey's export markets expanded and diversified over the last decade," with companies from outside the big cities playing a growing part, said Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, director of the German Marshall Fund of the United States in Ankara, in a phone interview. "Some of this is related to the activities of businessmen close to the Gulen movement."
Operations Halted
Koza Altin (KOZAL), a Tuskon member mining for gold in western Turkey, stopped operations at one of its mines today after saying a local government body declared it didn't have the necessary permits, an allegation it denied. Its shares plunged as much as 9.2 percent.
Gulen's strength lies not in numbers but in the influential posts its members occupy, said Bekir Agirdir, director of Istanbul-based research and consultancy firm Konda.
"They've always tried to be within the circles of power," Agirdir said in a phone interview.
Many Turks who have tried to document Gulen's influence have been targeted. Journalist Ahmet Sik was jailed for a year on charges of involvement in a coup plot. He'd been working on a book about Gulen called "The Imam's Army" when police raided his house and a publishing company in Istanbul. The book was later published online.
Former police chief Hanefi Avci was arrested in 2010 after publishing a best-selling book arguing that Gulenists had infiltrated the force. He was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison in July on terrorism charges.
In Tandem
During years of inquiries into alleged coup plots, as hundreds of active and retired generals were arrested and jailed on various charges, there were few signs of tensions between Erdogan and Gulen. "They appeared inseparable, like the nail and the finger," said the Marshall Fund's Unluhisarcikli.
Gulen's Journalists and Writers Foundation said yesterday that there's been a "significant change in the way Erdogan and his ruling party governs" since its third election win in 2011. It cited the slowdown in European Union membership talks and erosion of media freedoms.
The Gulen movement's criticisms are focused personally on the prime minister, according to Mahmut Akpinar, a professor of political science at Ankara's Turgut Ozal University. Other leading Turkish politicians, including President Abdullah Gul, are said by local media to have better relations with the group.
"The problem is not so much about the ruling party," Akpinar said. "It's about Erdogan."

Sheldon Mattos and his uncle Leonard, Sheldon and his father Ernie are the electrical contractors and are from the Hilo area, they were a great help in transporting the Tridipanels which were shipped by Pasha Freight from San Diego to Hilo Hawaii, it was extremely hard getting them from Hilo up to the job site, here are some photos of this as it happened.
Four-semi truck loads were shipped with approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of Tridipanels and wire mesh accessories, Hilo is approximately 45 miles from the job site, we had much hard rain and the concrete pour was held up. The Tridipanels and wire mesh were unloaded on Waipo Road approximately one half mile below the job site, smaller trucks moved the half mile up to the job site and unloaded.
Rod Hadrian Jr. unloading the simi, the panels were then set off along Waipo Road and moved to the job site the next day.
Tridipanels being placed next to areas they will be used by Rod Hadrian Jr.
The area soon became very crowded, we were extremely lucky to be able to rent the forklift from a local contractor.
Rod Hadrian Sr. help place boards under the panel stacks and directing areas to place the Tridipanel stacks and wire mesh, all bundles of Tridipanels we banded and held together quite well.

What do frogs and trees have in common with selling your home in an eco-friendly way?
Well....much more than you think.
Let's start by explaining what is WRONG with the current way most people buy and sell real estate.
1) You live on 123 Something St.
2) On your street, 10 people are going to sell their homes (thru the year vs all at once)
3) Very likely, that means each one will use their own agent. That's 10 agents to sell 10 homes.
Alternatively, what if ONE of you nominated me as your STREET/BUILDING designated listing agent. This always does take a great deal of work on our part but its always worth it. Quite often, the work starts months before the sale as I do a "grassroots" campaign (with your home as headquarters) to see if other nearby owners are thinking of selling in the next year and wish to join up.
As a result, I have been able to help neighbours maximize the interest from one house sale and have those past visitors or inquiries on file for the next listing....and so on.
Does this program have sponsors?
Indeed. Part of my approach to this program is to also include bonuses from partners like Frogbox (@Frogbox on twitter), Air Miles, Autoshare, Take It Easy Concierge (ideal for help relocating families,seniors etc) & many more signing on.
Why is this a more eco friendly approach to this process?
Frogbox is not shy about their eco approach as is Autoshare. Other companies I include (when its a condo or loft) are Conduit for electronic delivery of status certificates. This alone has helped saved over 1900 trees in the process. Take a deep breath and enjoy :)
On my part, I have drastically cut down my paper output and don't print countless number of showing reports as many others still do. I thank Dropbox for that! Also instead of kiling a tree at each listing, I now have targetted QR codes on each sign and in the property that offer a much more digital approach and understanding that over 80% of the people looking for homes will do so using their iPhone devices. Blackberry and Android users can also use these scan codes.
What other benefits are there?
Another huge benefit to both group sellers and buyers is being treated as a "group" when financing. Imagine if 10 of you go to a lender and ask for his best rate vs just 1 at a time....it DOES make a difference.
Should I still meet with other realtors before I decide?
Absolutely. In fact, its ideal that you meet with other realtors before we review this program due to the "confidential" nature of some of the elements. This will ensure that you understand all the pros and cons of this program.
If you alone OR a group of you want to meet up and discuss the merits of this program, just stop by my fan site at http://www.facebook.com/TorontoRealEstateGuide and say hello!

Freedom of Speech
Ehsan Elahi Ehsan
Freedom of speech is considered a social value in the modern liberal democracies. It is an integral concept of freedom in general. Freedom of speech does not accept any kind of censorship. The right to freedom of speech has been promulgated under various international laws and by various human rights organizations. This is, however, not implemented in various countries in its totality. The right of freedom of expression is usually termed as freedom of speech. The freedom is speech, in its true implication is not restricted to verbal expression but to any way of expression by which an idea or ideas of a person is freely conveyed to others. It expanded to any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas regardless of the medium used.
This right to freedom of expression is not, however, absolute. The governments may be coming out with their prohibitions when they think that certain types of expression are damaging types of expression. Generally there are three parts tests for these expressions:
(a) They must be provided by law
(b) Pursue an aim recognized as legitimate and
(c) Be necessary for the accomplishment of aim.
When we come to the accomplishment of aim, we are already in the mire. How these aims can be judged as legitimate? These legitimate aims are usually considered to be (a) the protection of the rights and reputations of others which means protection of defamation of other, (b) protection of national security and public order, and (c) protection of health and moral.
It is noteworthy that freedom of expression is subservient to the accepted morals; morals of one�s own nation and morals of others. In other words, it can be said that every right is connected with some responsibility. So is the case with the freedom of speech. If the freedom of speech is made use of without taking into account the responsibility connected with it, that freedom of speech is changed into unbridled freedom of speech and may breed into it numerous problems for which the whole humanity or majority of it is to suffer. In spite of these restrictions, the importance of speech cannot be ignored. In the third world countries, where there is little or no freedom of speech, the conditions become more deteriorating rather than improving. The reasons for this suppression of the freedom of speech can be many. Amongst the most prominent is the unrepresentative governments, or the governments lacking real democratic spirit. By the freedom of speech such governments fear that their weaknesses would come to limelight and their false propaganda of being popular with the public, would be exposed. Under such governments, the societies of those nations begin to stagger. Education and good conduct is crushed, and coarseness in thought, speech and manners begins to prevail. This is the point, which is exploited by the west especially in the case of the Muslim countries, and after intervals, we see that the Muslim countries are mocked and ridiculed under one pretext or the other. The problem begins to turn into a serious one when, instead of conditions prevailing in these countries, the faith of the Muslims, their religion, their holy book and their Holy Prophet are made the target of this ridicule. The real problem is not pin- pointed, rather it is evaded and the two civilizations; the western and the Muslim are brought to a point of collision. If West needs to point out, at any rate, it must point out to the real problem instead of deviating it to some other directions which brings no positive result for the West, the third world generally and the Muslim world particularly.
It is not only the govt. that makes people hesitant to free speech or freedom of expression but also the society itself. When an individual expresses an unpopular idea or opinion, the pressure of the society comes into action in those countries that are not enjoying liberal democracies. Such a person fears the hatred and even the violent reaction of the community. Even the civil liberty of such a person is threatened.
The trouble that is being created in the present times, in the context of western freedom of speech concept, is its over lapping. Any kind of irresponsible statement or expression in any way is given the label of �the right of freedom of speech�. Nobody seems inclined to think what are or would be the consequences of such an irresponsible statement or expression. It is not taken into account that the values implicit in the various justifications for free speech may not apply equally strongly to all kinds of speech in all circumstances.
No doubt, the freedom of speech is essential to nourish a democratic society but certain restrictions on freedom of speech may be compatible with democracy or even necessary to protect it. For example, restriction on the freedom of speech which supports the Nazi ideas.
A strong argument in support of the freedom of speech is given that it helps the discovery of truth. But, the discovery of truth cannot be made visible unless the thought gets itself accepted in the competition of the market of ideas. When the two levels are different, one based on ideas and the other based on emotions, there is little possibility that truth would be discovered. This is especially true when the faith of a community is attacked, the reason is sacrificed on the altar of ill will and bad intention. In such a case, ill will and bad intention come into lime -light and reason is given a secondary position. There cannot be any possibility of a good or positive out come. In such conditions it is noted that free speech or reason has been used only as an instrument. The real motive is the expression of ill will and bad intention. As a result, the ideas are drowned in the turmoil and society damaged rather than benefited. Any sort of free speech which is not intended to discover a truth or develop understanding, comes into the category of unbridled freedom of speech and is not to be treated as an exercise of the right of freedom of speech. Society is a large scaled academic seminar and anything which is expressed odiously, mischievously and proactively would invite a violent and serious reaction. Such a freedom of speech must be condemned because it does not contribute anything in the progress of human society. The right of freedom of speech has been given and praised because it contributes positively to discover truth and develop better understanding among the human beings. If it does not fulfill this high aim, it is the misuse of the right of freedom of speech. This implies that there is always the need for standard conduct and interaction including some degree of mutual respect. Such an attitude will limit the kinds of speech that are justifiably protected.
Freedom of speech is not an absolute value. It is subject to rational inquiry. No doubt, there can be a difference of opinion on rational inquiry itself, but the truth, after discussion, dialogue and reaction, soon comes out and it is known to every one what was the real intention behind for which the instrument of freedom of speech has been used. All the unpopular ideas expressed are not un-welcomed. People embrace and respect those ideas that are positive in their norm, which produce good and healthy effect on human society instead of creating hatred and disgust. So the offensive and insulting speech must not be given shelter under the umbrella of freedom of speech.
If the freedom of speech is an essential aspect of person-hood and autonomy then a (political) protest is also a form of self-definition, self-fulfillment, or self realization, even if the protesters believe the protest to be futile. If on the one hand we plead so much for freedom of speech of an individual, howsoever his speech or expression may be damaging to others, then what is the rationale of protesting against the protesters. If, their expressions are considered dangerous against us, or we blame their threatening language, it means we are the judges to decide about their freedom of expression. Now this is a paradoxical situation created by us. We defend the originator of the speech or expression (even the mischievous one) on the basis of his right of freedom of speech or action, and on the other hand we are not ready to give the same right to the protesters. In the first case we act as pleaders and in the second case, we act as judges.
The critics of the right of self expression argue that there is no inherent reason to find speech to be fundamental right compared with countless other activities that might be regarded as a part of autonomy or that could advance self fulfillment.
If we ponder deeply, we find that the freedom of speech is integral to tolerance. Many problems are occuring in human society due to lack of or absence of tolerance. That is the reason why some people feel that tolerance should be made the basic value in society. This is the only value which can help us control those feelings which are evoked by a host of social encounters. Freedom of speech remains of no value if it does not help to shape the intellectual character of the society. This claim is to say that tolerance is a desirable, if not essential, value, and that protecting unpopular speech is itself an act of tolerance. Such a tolerance serves as a model that that encourages more tolerance through society.
The protesters who have been victimized by the expression of ill will and bad intention are blamed to use threatening words like �kill, kill� and they are considered a danger to the peace but when it comes to a highly responsible political leader giving an official statement that �nobody is immune from their targeted killing� we ignore it altogether. This is a paradoxical attitude which we frequently adopt.
To say that the West enjoys full freedom of speech is not altogether true. In the UK, Parliament passed the �Serious Organized Crime and Police Act� in 2005 banning protest without permit within 1km of Parliament. The first convict under the act was in December 2005, when Maya Evans was convicted for reading the names of British soldiers and Iraqi civilian killed in Iraq, was under the �Conotaph� in October, without police permission. In Italy the media Tycoon Silvio Berluscom used censorship by stopping the Satirical Raiot Series, from Sabina Guzzanti on RAI television by arguing that they were vulgar and full of disrespect to the government. Sabina Guzzanti went to court to proceed with the show and won the case. However the Govt and the RAI refused to follow the court order and the show never went on air again.
The term �Freedom of Speech� or Freedom of Expression� is being frequently referred to in the context of the cartoons insulting the Holy prophet of the Muslims. It is a strange situation that the originator/s of this mischief are being defended and the protesters are being blamed for disturbing peace. Fingers are pointed towards them that they are using threatening words, burning the flags and so on. Such an action on the part of the protesters is no doubt condemnable but the more serious threat to peace is the defense being provided to the mischief players and they are being justified on the pretext of the freedom of speech or the freedom of expression. Such a situation is comparable to that one when some youngsters are blamed to pelt stones on that helicopter which came to bombard them. Actually the issue is certainly not that of freedom of expression. The cartoon crisis erupted due to double standards, recurring pattern of Islam phobia and violation of European laws pertaining to racism and religious discrimination. The Western values, regarding religious pluralism and rejecting racism and negative profiling on the basis of religion and ethnic origin are respected every where. These values, however, were willfully violated in cartoons in the Danish newspaper and other European newspapers. If the West expects Muslims to respect Western values, like the Freedom of Speech and freedom of expression, Muslims too, at the very least, expected reciprocity and respect for Islamic values. And the core of Islamic value is the sanctity of the persona of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on which there is complete unanimity of opinion among all Muslims across the board.

Basecamp Review
Basecamp Review
Here at Zincubate we've written many articles about Basecamp. Me in particular – I use it almost every day so I've had a chance to compile some thoughts on specific aspects of Basecamp including: Using Basecamp to Analyze Company Performance & our Two Part Series on time tracking called Track Time, Change the Way You do Business.
Although both of the above articles dive into specific functionality they may be a little too in depth for you – the person, business owner or manager considering Basecamp (or another online collaboration tool) for your business.
I realized, as long as I've been writing about this particular piece of software I hadn't done a complete Basecamp Review.
Who Am I?
Don't care? Skip to the review…
I don't know about you, but if I'm going to read a review or take advice (particularly from a weird unknown author on the Interweb) I want to know who he/she is and what their experience is. With that said, I've been working with Basecamp for over 4 years.
My main company is Atilus, a Florida Web Design Company, that develops websites for clients all over the world. Over the years we've introduced Basecamp to many employees (30+) and thousands of clients and clients' staff. We've never had a problem and everyone picked it up within minutes. We use it everyday and it is truly the lifeblood of our company, all time tracking and projects are run through this elegant tool.
Basecamp Review
I thought I would organize this review of Basecamp in 5 ways,
- Overall Summary – An overall summary of the product, how it's used at my company (or can be used)
- Feature Breakdown – Breakdown every feature of Basecamp
- Pros/Cons – After years of use what are the pros and cons of Basecamp
- Plan Pricing & Feature Breakdown
- Notes on Support
Basecamp Review – An Overall Summary
Basecamp although touted as a "project management" tool by some online, has in a small way rebranded over the years into a "collaboration" tool.
Small word change – big difference. Basecamp rocks at collaboration.
If you're a project manager used to Gantt Charts and mapping out every tiny detail of a project – Basecamp is probably not for you.
If however, you're a small or medium business owner, have to manage a team of anywhere from 1 – 100 total people scattered across divisions/companies/vendors/clients and need a tool to better communicate, organize and record what needs to get done Basecamp is the perfect collaboration tool.
Here's why – although it has some fancy bells and whistles (which I'll get to in the feature breakdown) it's super easy to use, navigate, and "get." At my company, we've taught 80 year old women – with little or no experience with the web – how to use it in about 15 minutes, and the best part is – most people don't even have to use it. Once you (as manager) submit a message it just sits in between you and your recipient providing a lifelong copy that you can always reference and that helps you stay organized and keep everyone accountable.
Time Tracking – I thought time tracking within the context of the summary was also important to highlight. Again, I will expand for you in the features section of this review, but time tracking in Basecamp is so easy – you and team members can track time relating to a specific assigned task or at any time you can navigate to the time tag and log time for any misc. updates. Time tracking within Basecamp can change the way you do business!
How my company – and others I've coached, uses Basecamp – Although we still have trouble deciding exactly when to add new clients and vendors to Basecamp (sometimes it's presale in order to impress new clients) everyone I work with is added to Basecamp.
The ENTIRE communication process, post-sale/introductions, AND TIME TRACKING is done through Basecamp.
That way anyone on our team – if they've been given access to a particular project can see everything that is going on. I know for some companies this kind of transparency might not be desired, but that is all relatively easy to control, but ultimately it leads us to faster response times, more knowledgeable staff (and clients) and everyone seems happier.
Time tracking within Basecamp can change the way you do business!
Feature Breakdown
Hierarchy (managing other companies, people, and projects)
This is the first feature (and probably isn't usually even touted as a feature as it's simply necessary content to have in software such as this), but it's of particular importance when discussing Basecamp's "usability" and adoption rate – the rate at which you, your employees, your vendors, and your clients will actually use this tool.
Basecamp organizes things intuitively – by company, then by project. It's a client project oriented tool. Now, that still means that you can very easily create internal projects (simply assign it to your own company). You can also add multiple companies to a single project. For example – we'll often work side-by-side with a partner or vendor in executing a project for a client. That is not a problem and can easily be setup.
- Company– The company for which any project will go "under."
- Clients– Interchangeable with "company" but additional client companies can be added
- Personnel – The individuals (names, email, contact information) that are added within a client and assigned a project.
- Projects
- Project Materials (messages, files, etc.)
- Personnel – Those individuals that can participate within a project. You can adjust the levels of access any individual has on any project.
- Clients– Interchangeable with "company" but additional client companies can be added
A project must be assigned a company (or you can default to your own company for an "internal" project).
This is Basecamp's strong suit and you can think of messages a lot like forum posts, with the original post being the "thread".
Adding and creating messages is as simple as selecting a project, hitting "new message", typing out your message and selecting recipients. Each person will then be sent a copy of your message.
But, here comes the real magic of Basecamp. IT SITS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR COLLABORATORS (your team, your clients, your vendors) collecting the messages. No longer do you have to worry about CC'ing people when responding and making sure everyone has the same information.
The only caveat here – and we've experienced this more when opening up Basecamp to our clients – is that sometimes replies to a message can get off topic, meaning a message started with a particular thread, after many back/forth replies can get off topic. I've found it best to simply start a new original message if this becomes the case.
Additionally you can always tick off "private" if you only want YOUR team to see the message (no clients or vendors!). Daily digests also make it very easy to see EVERYTHING that has happened on a project every day – if stuff happened, you get a complete list direct to your email.
- Pros – Simple interface, very easy to keep all team members on track and make sure they all have the information they need (provided you log ALL messages in Basecamp). Making messages private simple.
- Cons – Editor is a little TOO simple at times. Formatting can get messed up when pasting information/text into Basecamp. People new to Basecamp may have trouble remembering to tick off recipients when creating a message.
The Basecamp calendar – which we've wrote about before http://www.zincubate.com/basecamp-launching-the-new-calendar/ – has gone through a number of iterations, and changes throughout the years. Most recently it's changed from "milestones" to "calendar" and it's a welcomed change. Like 37Signals' messages regarding simplicity, the updates to the calendar (or milestone section) added functionality and features while actually simplifying things.
You can view the calendar in one of two capacities – as an overview of your whole company (and projects your account has access to) or in regards to a specific project. Within both of these views you can also drill down into the milestones (events) that are assigned to you or your team members. Meaning you can quickly see when those dates that are important to you are coming up.
Adding a new event is as simple as navigating to the calendar and clicking on a date and inputting the appropriate details.
- Pros – Attractive, simple, and because of Basecamp's shared nature, calendars can help to keep you informed in regards to projects.
- Cons – Depending on how your organization is setup, the functionality overlaps with that of other email and calendaring clients. I use exchange/outlook for example – so on a personal level the calendar is useless.
Personally I'm just going to through this out there – Writeboards are one of the least used portions of Basecamp for me and my team/companies. Writeboards are shared spaces to write notes or documents, that track changes (from all of those involved).
Although it is/was a great idea, the functionality is lacking and it completely overlaps with other, more elegant options from Microsoft, Google, etc. Personally I don't feel shared documents will ever need to be THAT sophisticated – people usually make an edit and then send to someone for review/approval and this process continues back/forth. However, if you'd rather not purchase a separate application or program to write simple docs back/forth amongst your team I could see this being very valuable.
- Pros – Writeboards are a great idea and do a good job of helping you to visualize the changes others make to documents over time.
- Cons – Too simple, separate commenting system that makes things a little bit confusing, and it is MUCH less sophisticated than other sharing tools available. As an alternative our team uses Google Docs for example.
RSS Feeds
RSS feeds are one of the simpler features of Basecamp, but one that make it very extensible and allow for quick reporting as a manager or business owner. What is RSS? It stands for "really simpl syndication" and although a full explanation is beyond the scope of this review, it is simply a text file that gets updated by the programming, outputting the latest info. You can subscribe to the feed using a feed reader and then be provided instant updates on what is going on at your company.
- Pros – Makes checking on the updates of your company and progress of projects extremely fast and simple and allows for other programs to harness this data.
- Cons – Would be nice to have a feed that wasn't password protected, although I understand the security ramifications.
Dashboards (Company & Project Level)
Speaking of harnessing data at your company, if you're a project manager, manager, or business owner Basecamp's dashboards are of great importance. The company level Dashboard is what I call what I see when I login. As the company owner – and as an administrator – I can see all projects. If you have, or assign reduced accounts this will only show all activity that your account has access to.
In both the company and project level, your dashboard reveals all of the activity in the account, so you get a nice – color coded – breakdown of all messages, files, to-dos and comments going on within each project. It's an awesome way to quickly see which projects have a lot of activity, require a large portion of your company resources, or may demand your attention.
- Pros – Nice and easy overview, provides a great tool for experiencing your company activities at a glance. Color coding helps you quickly see if people have sent you required information (for example files/imagery).
- Cons – It would be helpful to see MORE dashboard information on the homepage (for the entire company). If this was an option in Basecamp, to set the amount of dashboard data to show it would be helpful. For small companies that are working on a high number of projects the 7 projects and 5 items/project that is currently shown may not be enough.
To-Dos & Task Management
Task management is very simple and straight forward, within a project you create a to-list (a list of items that need to be complete) and then within that list you add singular items. Each item is then assigned to a person (or "anyone" so that your whole team can see it and accomplish it") as well as a date.
The person assigned will then be notified and the to-do will appear in their own list of to-dos.
When you've been assigned a to-do once complete you simple select the check box next to the to-do. This will immediately X out the entire to-do, send it to the archive, and eliminate it from your list of active tasks. Additionally if the originator of the todo/task/and list selected "enable time tracking" this is also where you would input your time for accomplishing the task.
- Pros: Simplicity, ability to add tasks from calendar a new welcomed addition.
- Cons: Additional settings would be helpful – ability to set time caps on tasks or whole lists, etc.
Time Tracking
Speaking of time tracking… let's get up and on to Time Tracking within Basecamp. A quick review – in order to enable time tracking you must have a certain level of account.
Time tracking is done in one of two ways – either on a to-do or task level as you progress in a task, or as you complete one – you simple select the clock and type in the time you've spent on everything. You can either but in easy fractions (such as .25 for a quarter of an hour) or if you'd prefer you can use a minute format 0:15 (for fifteen minutes).
The second way to input time is to simply navigate to the "time" tab at the top of a project, and directly input time (independent of a to-do). Often times this is the quickest method should you just need to complete a one off update or task for a client project.
- Pros – Very simple & flexible, time tracking is one of the best ways to measure the performance and health of your business, employees, and process. For more information on time tracking within Basecamp visit: Tracking Employee Time – Basecamp.
- Cons – Reporting limited (more to come). Additional settings would be helpful – ability to set time caps on tasks or whole lists, etc.
There is really only one true report in Basecamp – a time report, and as helpful as this is, this is one of the major areas Basecamp is lacking. Although in a way the dashboards DO provide a level of reporting (what immediate things are happening on your account), more detailed TIME, and PERFORMANCE reports would be extremely helpful within Basecamp. As it stands you can only generate a time report with the following criteria:
- Company/Project
- Period of Time
- Persons Involved
At my company I export the monthly time reports (for the entire company – all of our clients and projects) and use this to compile invoices. Because we're relatively small – we're only working on a few dozen client projects at one time, many of which are either billed hourly or in project – this makes compiling invoices very simple. I simply export based on project, and send the invoice along with a note referencing the attached time report.
- Pros: Very simple, if you're manually tracking time (through excel and compiling among many employees) can save hours a month in time and resources relating to invoicing.
- Cons: Too simple, not enough options, NO reporting for tools outside of time tracking.
File Management
File management is another core feature of Basecamp, although its drop dead simple – and – most importantly, it forces you to keep your files organized. It does this because of the hierarchy of Basecamp. When a project is created all files attached to messages, or in the general "file" section, automatically appear within that project. If you're a web development, architect, home remodeler, or any small business that needs to send/receive files Basecamp is perfect.
What's even more impressive is that – unlike a service like dropbox – Basecamp's integration with email allows a client to attach a message to your message(s) and it automatically is filed within Basecamp. Days, Months, or Years down the road all of the files for a particular project are neatly stored and organized in case a client needs something or your own team does…
(In fact file storage is SO nice, many of my own clients think it's a service we offer – they don't necessarily understand it's another business' tool and not your own – so they'll routinely login in order to retrieve the files you've stored over the years.)
- Pros – It's very simple to store and retrieve files. Different views, including "image-grid view" make it easy to find your file. Attaching files to emails makes using Basecamp's file storage as simple as using email and requires little or no coaching of your staff or your client's staff.
- Cons – Search could be better, and if you have someone with little icons on every email (for example some people use their logo as well as links to their social media profiles with images) sending message back/forth will quickly fill up your "files" section with useless imagery.
Project/To-Do Templates
As a company like you starts to use Basecamp, it becomes clear that much of its use is repetitive. At our company for example, the setup of a project involves the sending of a couple of "Welcome" messages, along with the setup of preliminary tasks/to-do lists. Basecamp's templates ease this, allowing you to setup a project or to-template once, and then apply or create when needed. This avoids duplicate work, and perhaps more importantly, ensures things are done the same every time. But, everything is completely flexible and once created you can then edit things at will.
- Pros – Templates are very simple to setup and customizable both in template form and once applied to a new project.
- Cons – Perhaps there could be more sophisticated rules, although that might detract from the tools' overall simplicity and ease of use.
API & Extras/Addons
Basecamp's API (application programming interface) is the medium through which other software, and developers can tap into Basecamp and use your data in outside programs. Basecamp's current extra's section has over 100 addons that other companies have developed – either extensions to the functionality of basecamp, or the use of Basecamp data in their own software.
Helpful addons include apps that run as a widget on your desktop (PC or Mac) so that you can track time with the click of a button, as well as integration with some of the web's most popular invoicing and bookkeeping tools.
Overall Pros/Cons
Basecamp PROS
- Hierarchy – Simple, easy to manage hierarchy
- Simple Interface – every feature is simple and easy to use, requires little support, and only tiny amount of time to master
- Feature Set – lots of features, mostly what you need, and nothing you don't
- Add-Ons – tons of extras and add-ons to add to the functionality of Basecamp and extend the tool
Basecamp CONS
- Simple Interface – Sometimes there are MORE tools you may want/need – we've overcome this obstacle by working and changing some procedures, but that might not be enough for every business.
- Search – Current search interface is horrible, can never find anything, can't sort by results, etc. SEARCH SUX, but the overall organization makes up for this.
- Minimal Reporting – See above notes on reporting, not enough reporting, from a management perspective it's easy enough to drill down and see what's going on, but some automated reports here would REALLY help – and help sell the tool in general
Integration – With other apps sucks (highrise).– Literally while writing this review 37Signals announced the basecamp and highrise now completely integrate – so as you close a deal in Highrise, you can auto create a project/company in Basecamp… FANTASTIC! Might just have to rethink Highrise.
Basecamp Plan Pricing & Feature Comparison
Here is a very simple breakdown of the different plans offered for Basecamp. Keep in mind that no matter what level you start at you can always UPGRADE at any time, and each plan includes a 30-Day FREE Trial.
|# of Projects
|Time Tracking
Which Plan is Right For You?
After working with the program for years I can say that the absolute minimum place you should start with is the Basic account. This is mostly because of the time tracking (and we know how important that is!). http://www.zincubate.com/business-time-tracking/
You can always quickly and easily upgrade and for years my own company stayed at the "plus" level. Although as we grew we expanded into Premium, although I can't even dream of day when we'll have more than 100 active projects!
Just remember, if a project is not "active" you can always set it to "inactive" so that it doesn't count towards your total projects and any files don't count towards your total space! Also, it helps to unclutter your dashboards and makes things less stressful.
Basecamp Support
I thought I'd save this for the end because of the nature of this product/service as well as my own experience in using their tools, and support. The point of utilizing a web application like this is – it just works – ALWAYS! And we've had huge success with that. In 4 or 5 years of almost constant daily use Basecamp was only down one time for a couple of hours and that was an absolute fluke accident, and hey – the office was thankful for the break at the time ;).
37Signals, Basecamp's parent company has taken great strides in providing a product that's super speedy, and just works – it's always up and operational and we never experience any slowdowns.
Additionally – because of the absolute simplicity of the tool I personally feel that for 80% of the people that will implement or touch Basecamp, support will never be an issue. Now – this may change as more features are added, but this is the beauty of 37signals' mantra – making very good, reliable, SIMPLE tools has meant very little support. According to their main site, 4 million people use Basecamp – and yet they're able to handle ALL of the support requests for the company with only 6 people! That should be a testament to their ability as software makers. To this effect my main company has never had to use live support and only on occassion – for more technical things like tapping into Basecamp's API did we even have to look at Basecamp's beautiful help section.
Basecamp has even taken the time to develop its own front-facing support ratings area (see image), where ANYONE can check in on the overall satisfaction of all users – for ALL of 37signals' software. It's a nifty idea and based on my frequent visits they always hover above 90%.
However I will say this – on the couple of occasions where I have used their support (this had nothing to do with the technical components, but my business/affiliate relationship with 37signals) I was displeased with the speed of response, as well as the initial answers. With that said I understand it was a weird case and no normal users will have to go through the same thing.
- Pros – Overall Basecamp's best support has been in providing a product that really needs NO support. Basecamp has a fantastic wiki/question & answer system, support is easy to contact and rate.
- Cons – The few times I've had to use support response was a bit slow – keep in mind it was a special case. With 4,000,000 users it seems their support staff is a little swamped/slow.

Straight From the Home Coop
By JULIA MOSKIN
Published: April 4, 2012
FOR newly hatched chicken enthusiasts, the first egg from your own hens is a small miracle. ''You want to dip it in gold,'' said the writer Susan Orlean, who keeps nine hens at her home in Columbia County, N.Y.
Then comes the second egg: enough for a triumphant breakfast.
But when the whole coop starts laying, she said, the supply of eggs quickly turns into an ''I Love Lucy''-style conveyor belt scene, bringing absurd, unmanageable excess. Ms. Orlean scrambles them into a pile for brunch or dinner, sprinkled with Indian spices, slivered almonds and unsweetened coconut. ''People will eat three and four eggs at a time that way, without blinking,'' she said.
It's not unusual for food lovers to toy with the notion of adding chickens to a thriving garden or building a rooftop coop. Now the novelty has become reality: despite coyotes, foxes and the occasional cage-break, many urbanites and suburbanites are raising their own eggs.
And many small farmers who supply restaurants with produce have been expanding into poultry, making farm eggs ubiquitous on restaurant menus. The eggs that were once scrubbed from the standard American breakfast over concerns about cholesterol have made a triumphant return as high-end appetizers, served atop anything and everything.
At the North End Grill, an ambitious new restaurant in Battery Park City, eggs rate their own section on the dinner menu.
There are no hard numbers on how many people keep chickens, but hatcheries report a boom in business in the last five years. ''The recession has helped, the local food movement has helped and the green movement has helped,'' said Paul Bradshaw, the owner of Greenfire Farms in Havana, Fla., who specializes in rare breeds like Swedish flower and French Marans, which lay lustrous chocolate-brown eggs that the writer Ian Fleming designated as the preferred breakfast of James Bond.
Martha Stewart made chickens fashionable in the 1990s, showcasing pale blue and green eggs from her South American Araucanas in her magazine. Although egg color does not affect taste, it is an attraction; among Mr. Bradshaw's most desirable hens are British cream legbars, which lay bright, smooth blue eggs that sell in London's chic food markets for 1 pound each, or about $1.30. (A female legbar chick costs $99, compared with about $2 for a standard leghorn.)
Internet commerce has made it easy to order hatching eggs and day-old chicks; Web sites, like those of Greenfire Farms and Murray McMurray Hatchery in Iowa, have live video and gorgeous photos of birds, plumage and vividly colored eggs. ''It's my new J. Crew catalog,'' said Jana Martin, a writer who lives outside Woodstock, N.Y., and started raising Buff Orpington hens last year.
Keeping chickens is legal in many cities and has taken off as part of the urban farming movement. JustFood, a nonprofit group that encourages sustainable and local agriculture, has an educational program called City Chicken, which teaches the basics to New Yorkers: since 2007, the classes have routinely filled up and the schedule is constantly expanding.
''In the spring, you can watch the color of the yolks deepen from week to week, and the taste changes, too,'' said Cathy Erway, a graduate of the program who keeps hens on a rooftop in Red Hook, Brooklyn. (For those who want to keep hens inside an apartment, Mr. Bradshaw recommends the Olandsk dwarf hen, about the size of a grapefruit, which lays eggs that fry up to the size of a silver-dollar pancake.)
In the last month, backyard chickens across the country have begun laying again. Left to their own rhythms, hens slow down or stop laying eggs altogether in the winter, because their reproductive cycle is linked to daylight. For centuries, the simultaneous return of eggs and the sun was seen as a quasi-magical coincidence; it is no wonder eggs are central to ancient spring celebrations like Easter, Passover and Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which begins on the spring equinox.
At this time of year, the difficulty becomes not so much keeping the hens, but keeping up with them.
In high season, a good layer like a Rhode Island red or leghorn can lay an egg every day. Ms. Erway uses up the eggs by making lunch for the staff at Sixpoint Brewery, where she works. ''I put sliced hard-boiled eggs in banh mi,'' she said, referring to the French-Vietnamese baguette sandwiches, stuffed with pickled vegetables and red chile sauce. ''And I'm Chinese-American, so it's second nature for me to add an egg or two if I'm stir-frying rice or noodles.''
''You have to get creative,'' said Ian Knauer, a food writer who had 18 laying hens last year on his family's farm in Pennsylvania. For Mr. Knauer, who lives alone in Brooklyn and tends the farm on weekends with his family, that meant almost eight dozen eggs a week.
''When they start piling up, I get out the big jar,'' he said. Beets and eggs, pickled together in a hot-pink brine, are a standard Pennsylvania Dutch recipe Mr. Knauer has adapted into a watercress and egg salad, using a spoonful of shallot-scented brine in the vinaigrette.

I have a Polaroid 32gb class 10 micro sdcard that has worked fine in my Android phone and Computer for months now. Upon returning from a trip to Indiana (I don't know why I went there either.), this sdcard would not be recognized by my Linux computer or my Android phone. I ran testdisk and r-studio, both of which would finally see the drive as "Generic SD card reader", but stated that the drive was only 1mb large. Testdisk informs me that the size allocation has to match up but I don't know how to make it match up. The BIOS didn't help me at all.
Upon inserting the drive on a Windows computer, it would lable it a raw filesystem with absolutely no size at all. It almost goes without saying but I have some pretty important stuff on there I would like to recover. Also, I would like to know if it is possible for the Airport TSA scanners to be responsible for this.

Re: micro sdcard filesystem repair/file recovery
I had a similar problem, but found a company in Dresden/Germany that was able to help. I would have lost half of my vacation photos if it wouldn't have been for Recoverfab, who were able to retrieve them from a faulty compact flash card. One of my cf cards caused an error message in my camera and became unreadable by the card reader, too. All other cf cards worked fine however, the one with all the photos from Italy just couldn't be recognized by the computer. I did an internet query only to discover that most data recovery products are software applications, but my card problem seemed to be a more complex issue. It looked like I had to accept that these vacation photos would only be stored as 'mental' images, when I ran across http://recoverfab.com . Recoverfab opens the faulty device, retrieves its memory via a detour avoiding the damaged control circuit and voila: All your photos are at your disposal. Check out their website and watch the posted videos about this process. Pretty impressive! I first read about them while still traveling in Germany (I was literally only 2 hours away from them), but thought clearly there has to be a company like this in the USA. Nope, there's not!!! After I'd returned to the States, I contacted Leopold Hiersche from Recoverfab, mailed my damaged device on 8/2/2013 and had access to my photos by 8/9/2013! Recoverfab's service is not free, but definitely worth the money. And by the way, they work with all kinds and sizes of memory cards! I am very pleased with Recoverfab's service. Maybe they can help you too.

Re: micro sdcard filesystem repair/file recovery
I wrote a novel which I saved on my computer as well as backed up in an SD card. However, one day I edited some of the chapters and forgot to save the changes to my computer, and those files ended up only on my SD card. I moved houses and it seems that in the coming and going it got bent or something, and when I stuck it into my laptop, it did not read it. I tried it on other computers and it was never recognized. I was in utter horror for I did not want to make those changes again--I could never find the same words. I looked online for solutions but nothing worked, and thus I decided that the SD card must be broken. I figured I would get a professional to retrieve the data, but it all looked too pricey. Until I discovered Recoverfab (recoverfab.com). I only saw good reviews and it wasn't supposed to cost too much. I especially liked the fact that if they couldn't retrieve those files, they wouldn't charge. I was a little skeptical because they're based in Germany, and I felt a little weird about sending the card overseas. However, something told me I should, and I mailed it. They received it within a week and the next day I received an email saying they had already recovered the data. So quick! It only cost about 200 euros (way cheaper than anything of the sort in the US), and they even gave me a discount. I am absolutely amazed! Thank you, Recoverfab!

1 shade lighter or darker than Carrington Beige
My livingroom & dining room are Carrington Beige and I'd like to paint kitchen 1 shade lighter or darker than Carrington Beige. Just so there's a slight difference in colour. Thanks
Hi Kay!
I love the Carrington Beige color and think you have a couple of options to complement.
DARKER - Bennington Gray (HC-82) would be a great choice for a darker tone. Or you could use Alexandria Beige (HC-77) if you really wanted to go dark and dramatic. Sag Harbor Gray (HC-95) would also be lovely, but has a definite green/gray cast.
LIGHTER - The Carrington color is already fairly light, so if you decide to go even lighter, look at White Down (970).
You can always post photos of your room too as that may help us give you some more suggestions. Hope this helps....good luck!

Hiddink to return as Netherlands coach
The Hague: Guus Hiddink will return as coach of the Dutch football team after the 2014 World Cup, Dutch media reported Monday.
The 67-year-old will sign a four-year contract, the first two years as head coach and the last two years as technical supervisor. He might succeed Louis van Gaal, who already announced to quit after the forthcoming World Cup.
Hiddink, who had already coached the Dutch national team from 1995 to 1998, admitted he had an informal meeting with representatives of the Dutch football association KNVB. In January 2014, they will continue the talks. "I do not see what can go wrong," Hiddink`s agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen told Dutch broadcaster NOS.
The choice for Hiddink is surprising, because the KNVB was expected to take a coach of the new generation, with 50-year-old Feyenoord coach Ronald Koeman being the favourite. If Hiddink will sign he will be the third consecutive Netherlands coach of 60 years or older, after Bert van Marwijk (2008-2012) and Louis van Gaal (2012-2014).
In July this year Hiddink resigned as coach of Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala. He previously coached PSV Eindhoven, Fenerbahce, Valencia, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Chelsea and the national teams of the Netherlands, South Korea, Australia, Russia and Turkey. With the Netherlands he reached the semifinals of the 1998 World Cup and with South Korea he did the same four years later.

Let's face it: Not every pic can be a gem.
Let's face it: Not every pic can be a gem. Maybe what seemed like a good idea back in the day (or even yesterday?) didn't really translate on camera, and you were left with a photo that was SO AWKWARD.
Well, you're in luck. That awkward awesomeness is what we want to see in Do the Craze 4, and the more your pic makes us squirm, the better your chances are of winning the biggest prize yet. That's right, the winner of this final craze will score the ultimate grand prize of $3,000 in cash, as well as a flyaway to meet iJustine in person. You'll also have the chance to showcase your meme on Cambio and have it featured on iJustine's YouTube channel, in addition to landing tickets to a star-studded LA event this fall.
For inspiration, iJustine was brave enough to share pics from her past (check them out in the video above) including plenty of awkward family photos. The one that takes the cake, though, is this portrait of a young Justine posing...with a desktop computer. Um, what?
From bad prom pics to weird Halloween costumes, we want to see them all. Post your pic here and spread the word. The entry deemed the most awkward will be crowned the grand prize winner. Get on it, Crazers!
Get the official rules.

For nearly 10 years, Kasia Kwiatkowska, Membership Director at the Skyline Club in Indianapolis, dreamed about the day she would take the Oath of Allegiance and become an American citizen. Kasia came to the United States from Poland 10 years ago, fresh out of college with just $300 and still learning the English language. It was long, winding and sometimes difficult journey that brought Kasia to Indianapolis and, in 2015, her role at the Skyline Club – which Kasia calls "a match made in heaven."
When the day of Kasia's Oath of Allegiance and naturalization ceremony finally came, no one from her family – who still live in Poland – could be there, but her ClubCorp family could and they did. Boy, did they! So many fellow Employee Partners attended the ceremony that Kasia had the largest group of supporters in the room. There to cheer Kasia on were Skyline Club General Manager Jeff Markowicz, Sharon Szymanski, ClubCorp Senior Vice President, Membership, and Joyce Laurien, Vice President, Membership Sales (who both flew in from out of town for the ceremony), several other Club staff members, Members and even a few relatives of one of Kasia's co-workers.
After the ceremony, the group headed back to the Club to enjoy a Polish American Buffet prepared by Executive Chef Eric Hollen. More than 60 people attended – including many Members – all there to celebrate Kasia's citizenship.
"It would have broken my heart to have been alone at the ceremony," said Kasia. "Instead I had the most amazing day ever. I feel extremely lucky to be surrounded by and work with so many wonderful people."

THE COPPACAW STORY, INDIANS OF OHIO AND THE WESTERN RESERVE AREA and CUYAHOGA RIVER
"Cayagaga" was the first name by which the Mohawk Indians designated the stream that sprang from the northern part of what is now Portage County and proceeded west and south through the gorge and over the falls called "Coppacaw" to the junction with the Little Cuyahoga, and then north again to enter into the lake later to be know as "Erie".
This explanation of the word meaning "crooked" from which Cuyahoga Falls got its name, was given by James Smith. James Smith was captured by the Indians in 1755 and escaped in 1759. He writes of one of explorations of the area, "We turned up the Cayagaga and hunted for several days until we came to the junction in the Cayagaga. The upland is hilly and second - and third-grade land; the timber chiefly black oak, white oak, hickory, and dogwood."
A bulletin by Cushing, Leverett & Horn states, "The Cuyahoga River is about 100 miles long, rising in the highlands of Geauga County, within fifteen miles of the lake shore, flows south and southwest sixty miles from the lake. It reaches the old pre-glacial valley in which it flows northward to the lake." The river's sources have an elevation of 1370 feet above sea level. It is but 570 feet at its mouth at Cleveland harbor.
The river had many spellings for its name which is translated into numerous meanings.
The Moravians, who in 1786 founded what has been called the first White Settlement in the present CUYAHOGA County near the junction of Tinker's Creek and the Cuyahoga, wrote the name of the stream "Gajahaga". Near their village was an old Indian trail crossing the river at the rapids south of the village.
An educated Seneca Indian claimed that the name "Cayohaga" meant to the Senecas "The Place of the Jaw Bone", and was thus applied to the river and the locality of Cleveland, because in the dim past before the Whiteman came, the jaw bone and other portions of a mastodon were found near the river about five miles from its mouth.
An old European map shows the Cuyahoga River and its "carrying-place", the Portage Path, with some Indian villages, one of them on the site of Akron being called "Caujahoga Town".
The Delaware Indians had it as the "Diiohage", while still another spelling was "Kayhoga". The name is also written "Canahogue", and once even "Tioga" And one writer claims that Cuyahog means "The Beautiful".
Evans and Hutchins, early mappers of the Western Reserve, gave the spelling "Cuyahoga", Heckwelder spelled it "Cujahoga", other spellings included "Cayahoga"", "Kayahoga", "Cajahages", "Guahaga", and "Gayahague". The closest the English spelling can approximate the original Mohawk Indian dialect would be "Kaihoghha".
The source of the Cuyahoga River is located in the center of a large field in Hambden Township, Geauga County. There is a large swamp roughly oval in shape covering perhaps half an acre. The land about the swamp on all sides except the south is cultivated so we can se quite plainly that no stream runs into the swamp. We assume that the swamp is the result of natural drainage and perhaps underground springs. There is a dense growth of vegetation in the swamp, many elder bushes, cattails, high weeds, a number of small trees and other swamp vegetation.
The swamp itself is of secondary importance as we are concerned mostly with the drainage ditch. It took considerable effort to find it as we had to work our way through tall weeds, reeds, briars, and other vegetation. The drainage ditch is very small. It is perhaps twelve to fifteen inches wide and about eight inches deep. There is only a trickle of water in the ditch in hot weather. It is a stream less in volume than could be made with a garden hose. It is hard to believe that this trickle of water is the Cuyahoga River.
Strangely, this source of the west branch is only about sixteen miles from Lake Erie, yet the river flows in a southerly direction, away from the lake, then west, then north, in a great "U" shape for about eighty-five miles to empty into Lake Erie at Cleveland. It is easy to understand why the Indians called it "Cuyahoga", meaning crooked waters.
When the earliest settlers first came to Summit County, they inquired of the Indians about legends and stories about the mound builders. The mound builders were gone before the Redman came, but they had left more than thirty mounds in Summit County. Many have disappeared, but one which remains is located at the enter of the Valley View Golf Course on Cuyahoga Street near the bank of the river. The mound contains many kinds of soil not found nearby. It is about forty feet high and covered with large oak trees. It remains as a monument to a little-known race of people who were first known to occupy our country.
As with all stories of the continent and this nation, the roots of our culture sink deep into the land and are nourished by the tales of Indian folk-lore. This area of the nation which we now call Cuyahoga Falls was property of no particular Indian tribe, but set aside by various tribes as a hunting ground. With the dawn of history in Ohio at the time of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, we find the Cat Nation, or Eries, in this region; but before the arrival of the first settlers the Eries had been defeated by the Iroquois, in 1656.
After the annihilation of the Erie tribe, Ohio became an open country for all Indian tribes who cared to come here or were driven westward by the ever-increasing White Population. A few tribes traveled through Ohio on their way westward without stopping here. Many adopted Ohio as their home, being content to stay for a while, loafing and enjoying the easy life that our rich land afforded them. They moved on only as whim struck them. Other tribes found living so easy and comfortable that they decided to remain her in definitely.
Strangely enough, many Indian tribes which had continually warred against each other in their homelands of New Your and Pennsylvania now lived together in peace and harmony. One very popular place for incoming Indians was the valley of the Cuyahoga River. Senecas lived within a stone's throw of Ottawas. Mingoes and Delawares built their villages close together. Chippewas and Wyandottes were neighbors. There was no tribal warfare, since the provided food and pleasure sufficient for all.
The Indians who lived in Summit County were peaceful and friendly to the Whites. In our history, there was never one instance of any Indian atrocities. There is no record of the Indians burning the cabins of the settlers or murdering our men and women. It was only when the Indians became intoxicated by the Whiteman's firewater that they became troublesome; and they were sorry and apologetic later.
Near Boston, there was large Indian encampment. A number of Indian tribes lived in adjacent villages, the biggest being one of Chief Pontiac's camps occupied by Ottawas. Nearby lived the Cuyagas and others. It is said by many historical writers that the Indians near Boston were most advanced gardeners and farmers. Rich land along the river was planted in corn, pumpkins, and tobacco. Mature apple trees were found here by the first settlers.
Nearby, in Northampton Township, on the present Herbruck farm, (1962) there was another village of Ottawas under Chief Pontiac. The site of this village on the Portage Trail Extension (W. Portage Trail) was, until recently, marked by a large stone that was used by the Indian squaws to grind grain. A few years ago the stone was moved to the front yard of the E.A. Herbruck home. (Herbruck's no longer live there) The boulder with a mortar worn by the squaws grinding grain served the Herbrucks as a birdbath and ornament in the corner of their front yard on the southwest corner of Thirteenth Street and Chestnut Boulevard. About the early 1970's it was moved to the Summit County Historical Society.
Prehistoric Indian mounds, campsites, and other landmarks indicate use of this area as a hunting ground. The trails and portages were used by early peoples as they journeyed from lake to river, portaging from the Cuyahoga to the Tuscarawus; and crossing from east to west, from the Great Salt Spring in the Eastern portion of the state to the hunting grounds that lay to the West. The Indian trail from the Great Lakes and Canada to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and thus to the Gulf of Mexico lay through the valley. All who wished to make the trip starred up the Cuyahoga River to the point at which it is a present crossed by Portage Path. From here the Redman and Whiteman alike carried canoes and cargo up the hill and then South along Portage Path, East Avenue, and Manchester Road to the location of Young's Inn. The Inn is still located there but may not be used any longer. Here, at the crossing of the Tuscarawas River, the travelers could continue by water all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
This trail of water and land marked the western limits of this new nation in 1800. All agreements for land and settlement rights at the time of the first pioneers in this area gave to the Thirteen Colonies the land East of this line and to the Indians all lands to the West.
The boats used in the transportation of men and goods from the mouth of the Cuyahoga to the "old Portage" were long and narrow vessels, frequently called "dugouts". They were from twenty to forty feet long, and from three to five feet wide and were propelled by poles when going against the current. They could carry from ten to twelve barrels of pork salt, four, or whiskey. At that time, salt sold for $20.00 per barrel and whiskey for $5.00 or less.
In a report dated 1771, Thomas Jefferson said, "The Muskingum is 280 yards wide at its mouth and 200 yards at the lower Indian town. It is navigable for small batteaux to within one mile of a navigable part of the Cuyahoga River which runs into Lake Erie".
It is felt the Indians liked hills and valleys more then the comparatively level land in the lakes region; but, whatever the reason, most Indian life was centered about our northern townships. The Big Falls of the Cuyahoga and the Old Maid's Kitchen, was the site of a large village of Delawares under Chief Net-a-wat-wees. One historical writer says that the land on the south side of the river was a large field of corn and vegetables, on of the largest in the country. The area of northern North Akron was always a plateau without trees.
Stigwanish was a Seneca chief who had cornfields at the river fork at the lower end of the gorge. Stigwanish built and erected a totem pole, the only one of record in Summit County. Before going on hunting trips, the Indians decorated the totem pole with tobacco, which was promptly stolen by the Whites.
Another interesting Indian chief was Ogoontz, a chief of the Ottawa tribe in the Cuyahoga Valley. Ogoontz was educated by the French in Canada and became a prominent church man. He alternated between White and Indian customs and could wear a coat or paint and feather with equal ease.
The largest Indian village was at Silver Lake, about 500 Senecas under Chief Wabmong. Wabmong, from the beginning a great friend of the early White settlers, supplied them with food, nursed them in sickness, and helped them generally. His greatest feat was the prevention of the massacre of the entire White population of Stow Township during the War of 1812. The British bribed the Indians and tried to persuade them to murder all whites. Chief Wabmong was able to control his drunken "braves" and caused them to leave for the West without harming the Whites. Here the Indians lived quietly and peacefully for many years.
William R. Lodge in his letter of May 11, 1941 wrote, "The well-known Goose Egg Island which has a good-sized channel of the river on each side of it is located at the Southwest corner of my sanctuary property. The well-known knoll was the site of the cabin of Chief Wabmong of the Senecas, who had a village of 500 Indians on the roadway south of Silver Lake. These Indians lived there prior to joining the British and Tecumseh in the battle of the Maumee Valley and those near Detroit in 1812. They all left here in a single night, taking everything except their shakes and tepees, according to old settlers that we knew when father moved his family from Cleveland to "Stow Pond, Silver Lake, in April, 1876".
The early settlers told interesting stories of peaceful, as well as warlike, encounters with the Indians. Mrs William Wetmore never tired of telling a story of an Indian sewing circle. Her husband had come to this area from Connecticut to claim, survey, and sell land owned by Joshua Stow. The Indian girls from the families who camped each summer along the shore of Wetmore's Pond, later called Silver Lake, visited the Wetmore home frequently. Mrs. Wetmore, concerned with the lack of the girls' clothing, set about making dresses for them. The Indian squaws were impressed by her kindness and skill and came to her, asking to be taught to make dresses. Mrs. Wetmore encouraged them to bring animal skins and furs to be traded for cloth, needles, and thread. Then she taught the squaws to cut and sew dresses for themselves and their families. So it can be said that the women's sewing circle was the first gathering of people in the land of Cuyahoga at the headwaters of the Coppacaw, Cuyahoga Falls.
