Katharine "Kathy" Penna
Owner/ Principal/ Founder of Brielle Cyclery - All Locations
"I think people would say that I'm a workaholic who loves what she does, plus I love problem solving. I have three wonderful sons who are all as passionate about this business as I am. How lucky am I? I was drawn to the bike industry way back in 1970, when I combined my love for biking and the outdoors with my business background. I had a passion to join my two interests, and in 1970, the result was Brielle Cyclery."
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Serotta Ottrott custom, Trek Domane 5.2, Cannondale MTB and Cervelo R3. Her favorite manufacturer is Trek because, in Kathy's words, "we've been together for over 40 years. It's fun and rewarding to see all of the changes and growth resulting from our partnership."
Kathy's passion for bikes pre-dates the summer of 1970, when she opened Brielle Cyclery at just 22 years old. Since then, Kathy says she has run every aspect of her business, including "sales, project management, bookkeeping, wheel-building, maid service, and even being the gofer," says Kathy, a Katharine Gibbs School graduate. Her three sons, Wes, James, and Digger, have joined Kathy in the business after growing up in the bike shop, which pleases Kathy. Currently, there are four Brielle Cyclery locations in Monmouth County, including the original shop, Brielle Cyclery Kids, Asbury Park Cyclery, and Trek Bicycle Store of Middletown.
Over the years, Kathy has participated in many industry management, brand, technology, fitting, and mechanics seminars and earned a list of certifications, including her expert bike fitter designation from Serotta International Cycling Institute and F.I.S.T. bicycle fitting system accreditation. In the early 1980s, Kathy was one of the only expert bike fitters on the local scene.
Always active in the community, Kathy especially enjoys leading rides for beginners, teaching children how to ride a bike, and presenting bike safety at local schools. She is co-founder of the Jersey Shore Triathlon Club that started in 2006 and an advocate for Asbury Park's revitalization; she also values her chamber of commerce and industry association memberships, as well as the lifelong relationships she has forged with many of her customers.
In 2016, Kathy was honored with the Trek Legend Award at the annual global Trek conference in recognition of her brand commitment, community advocacy, and four-decade relationship with the leading bike manufacturer.

Clarence Taylor
Head Mechanic - Brielle Cyclery

Favorite bike: Currently rides an older Klein mountain bike customized for local neighborhood use. His favorite manufacturer is Trek due to their exceptional technical factory advancements.
As a teenager, Clarence walked into Brielle Cyclery when it opened in 1970, making the bike shop his home away from home ever since.

Wes Erbe
Operations Manager – All Locations
"My passion for bikes was inherited from my mother, Kathy, who would work seven days a week to support our family and never complain because of her passion for her business. Hard work and discipline are the keys to success, no matter if it's fitness, a career, or any other aspect of life."
"Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good." -Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success
Wes became officially involved in the family business as operations manager in May, 2016, although he has been a part of Brielle Cyclery his entire life. Prior to this position, he worked in financial services in London and New York since 2006 and holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Lafayette College.
"Aside from my family history in the business, I was drawn to the bike industry because while working at my previous career, I tried to maintain a healthy work-life balance by engaging in some type of daily endurance workout. As operations manager for the bike store, I get to combine my passion for finances, business, and fitness. Maintaining my fitness has always helped me get through difficult times in my life, and I wanted an opportunity to help people achieve their fitness goals, specifically through the sport of cycling," shares Wes.
Wes has earned Trek Ninja Status, the highest level of education from Trek University, and attended 2016's Trek World, Trek's annual event at their headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin and nearby Madison.

"I love the opportunity I have to work on a daily basis with my family and extended family, the team at Brielle Cyclery. Helping customers meet their cycling needs is a pleasure, and I have gotten to know many of them very well over the years. While we do put in a lot of time to ensure that we run a first-class operation, it never feels like work because there is no other place I'd rather spend my time," says Wes.
Wes enjoys traveling in his spare time and has visited over 30 countries. He has completed three destination marathons (Barcelona, Madrid, and Austria). While visiting Berlin, Wes met his fiancée, Frannie, who is German. Wes lives in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Digger Erbe
Manager - Brielle Cyclery and Brielle Cyclery Kids
"I love every aspect that my job entails, and I remain focused on always providing the best customer service. Working with different people on a daily basis is very fulfilling, and I have developed countless relationships with our customers. This does not seem like a 'job' to me."
"I hit it again because that shot was a defining moment, and when a defining moment comes along, you define the moment…or the moment defines you." -Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek Drift S, Trek Procaliber 9.6, and a Trek XM 700+ electric bike for summer fun. His favorite bike of all-time is a 2010 Trek District Carbon (Belt Drive), liking how Trek used a Madone frame to produce a light-weight single-speed weighing in at only 12 pounds.
Digger grew up in the family business, always gravitating to it before becoming an official employee at Brielle Cyclery in 2002. Before his management position, Digger assisted with the business's sales, website and social media, property maintenance, and entertainment capacities to help grow his family's business. He also worked at True Blue Golf Plantation in South Carolina from 2000 to 2004.
Digger comments that he "saw an opportunity to grow a great business that was established over 45 years ago" and decided to bring his prior business experience and business management education to Brielle Cyclery. Digger earned a bachelor's degree with honors in business management from Monmouth University and membership in the Beta Gamma Sigma International Business Honors Society.
In addition to his college education, Digger holds a Trek Level-One Fit School certification and has completed seminars through Trek World, Cervelo BrainBike, Cannondale, and Shimano.
Digger enjoys pursuing challenges in business and fitness and has volunteered for several charities, organizations, and clubs on the Jersey Shore. "I was born into the business, and bikes grew on me later in my youth. I have always had several athletic interests," says Digger, who enjoys traveling with his wife, Jessica, and golfing on the best courses around the world. He also likes spending time petting his cat, Binx, and hanging out with his "cronies."
James T. Erbe
Purchasing / Marketing Manager – All Locations
"As a child growing up in my mom's bike shop, it was just always in me. I saw what the store did for people, and what those people did for us. The bicycle is a solution to many of the world's most complicated issues. We put smiles on people's faces, and what's better than the feeling you get riding a great bike!"
"…let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win." -Bernie Sanders
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek FX series and Electra LUX Beach Cruiser, with an excitedly-anticipated Trek Super Commuter on order. Trek is his favorite manufacturer of all time because of the exceptional care they provide for their dealers and customers.
James cannot remember a time that he hasn't associated himself with Brielle Cyclery, growing up in his mother's store. "My first stop from the hospital after being born was here, even before going home," says James. "Seeing my mom's passion for the industry and the respect she has in the industry made me appreciate this business."
Before working as part of the family's business, James worked at Shop Rite in Wall, moving up to a position in the scanning department, which he likens to what he does for Brielle Cyclery today as purchasing and marketing manager. In 2007 and 2008, James worked for Trek Bicycle Corporation as an inside sales representative for a few Midwest states; he returned to the Midwest in 2009 to help a customer in Illinois manage a new Trek Concept Store during its first year of business. "I am a numbers guy, and I like all of the analysis and forecasting that goes into deciding what we need in our stores to quickly service our customers," comments James.
James has earned Trek Ninja Status, the highest level of education from Trek University, eager to take advantage of the intense learning opportunities the on-going training program provides on many aspects of Trek and Bontrager products, as well as operational aspects of running a successful bike store.
In addition to his position at Brielle Cyclery, as a bicycle enthusiast, James is a member of the New Jersey Bike and Walk Coalition, International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), People for Bikes, and the League of American Bicyclists. He enjoys bike rides along the shore with friends and makes an effort to use his bike instead of his car for local trips within two miles from his home.
Teresa DiSessa
Women's Ambassador, Brielle Cyclery / Owner, Riptide Cycling Women's Racing Team
"Cycling has always been my passion. Since I was five, I used to ride around the town of Brielle, where my family owned a pizzeria. As I got older, it was my transportation to friends, the beach, and school. I became more passionate about cycling in my late 20s as a means to stay fit, healthy, and meet amazing riders through my journey on the bike."
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek Emonda SLR 9 Dura Ace Di2, Trek Top Fuel 9.9, and Trek Boone 7 Disc. Her favorite manufacturer of all time is Trek / Bontrager for many reasons, mainly because they make amazing products and are not afraid to back their products when things go wrong.
Teresa's love for cycling runs deep on many levels. She has been a Brielle Cyclery women's ambassador since 2005 and also serves as a Trek women's advocate. Teresa owns and manages Riptide Cycling women's team (www.riptidecycling.com), now called Riptide-Cawes Cycling, and is a certified cycling coach and spin instructor.

Jarrad McClary
Manager - Asbury Park Cyclery
"I began riding at three, began road racing at the age of 11. My father was a member of the training staff for the U.S. National Team at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and a soigneur for the IME-Healthshare Pro Cycling Team. I have been on or otherwise involved with two wheels since birth, so it's in my blood."
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." -Steve Jobs
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek Emonda SLR 8 Dura Ace and Cervelo S5. His favorite bike manufacturer of all time is Independent Fabrication in New Market, New Hampshire, which offers hand-fit, hand-painted, American-made super bikes because, in Jarrad's words, "although carbon fiber is king, handmade American steel bikes with Italian-engineered components are beautiful, both on and off the road."
Riding since the age of three, Jarrad grew up in and around bike shops, learning from great master fitters, master mechanics, coaches, and professional road and cyclocross riders. This encouraged the young enthusiast to turn his hobby and passion into a career.
Jarrad, a U.S. Navy veteran, firefighter, and EMT, entered the industry in New Hampshire in 2008 with Eastern Mountain Sports, then managed Goodale's Bike Shop in 2010. The summer of 2016, he moved to New Jersey and started his career with Brielle Cyclery that September as Asbury Park Cyclery's store manager.
Jarrad has an extensive list of credentials in the bike industry, including certifications as a Level III Precision Fit and Specialized body geometry FIT technician; Shimano Di2, disc brake, wheel, road/ mountain drivetrain, custom footwear, and steps technician; Trek service expert; Thule rack master; and USAC level-C race director and level-B coach. He has achieved Trek Ninja Status, the highest level of education from Trek University and has participated in numerous training opportunities, such as Trek and The Mann Group retail marketing, Shimano T.E.C., Mavic wheel service, SRAM mechanic training, Rockshox service training, yoga for cyclists, and training with power seminars.
Jarrad participates in cyclo-cross and has enjoyed 25 years of road and mountain biking; he loves to explore the open road on two wheels. "I love sharing my passion with my customers. Being able to help a seasoned rider learn new things, or teaching a new rider the sport that I adore brings me joy. Only through passionate bike shop employees will cycling sports flourish," shares Jarrad, who remains committed to cycling on many levels. "I have a passion for the sport, its history, its tactics, its technology. I am excited for the future of cycling and the changes taking place every day around the world to improve access for cyclists on the road, in the woods, and everything in between.
Jarrad has a wonderfully supportive family and is the proud father of two beautiful daughters. He has dedicated countless hours to helping expand safety measures for cyclists by providing input to city planners, focusing riders on safe riding skills and practices, and teaching motorists how to share the road with cyclists. He has fought for trail access and the appropriate maintenance necessary to sustain an environmentally-friendly place for mountain bikers to enjoy. In New Hampshire, Jarrad was active in rail-to-trail conversions to provide miles of safe, vehicle-free riding for community members to enjoy the great outdoors.
Scott Hawxhurst
Manager - Trek Bicycle Store of Middletown
"I consider myself a lifelong student and always try to keep an open mind and a humble heart. I am grateful to get to work with and be surrounded by the things I am passionate about and to enable others to fulfill their passion for bikes. I have always loved anything with wheels."
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek Fuel EX 8, Cervelo S3, Lynskey Pro Cross, Trek Verve 2, custom Trek Rig single-speed 29er, and Cannondale Capo track bike. His favorite bike manufacturer of all time is Trek due to its cutting-edge technology and outstanding customer support.
Scott has worked for Brielle Cyclery since 2010 and currently serves as manager of the Trek Bicycle Store of Middletown. He remembers the first time he visited Brielle Cyclery in 2009 to purchase gloves: "I spoke to the manager and staff and was impressed by how friendly and helpful everyone was. The manager even asked me to join him on a ride in the woods. Sometime later, this positive experience led me to ask about employment, and the rest is history!"
Before his management position at the Trek concept store in Middletown, Scott worked part-time at Asbury Park Cyclery before being promoted to manager at that location. After Hurricane Sandy's devastation to the Asbury Park Boardwalk, Scott worked at Brielle Cyclery until the spring of 2013, at which time he returned to the Asbury Park store. Since the fall of 2013, he has managed the Middletown location.
"I was drawn into the bike industry due to my true passion for bike riding, my love for tinkering and learning, and the camaraderie of riding in a group," says Scott, who held a list of odd jobs while growing up, such as working in the motorcycle industry during college.
Scott, one of three brothers, graduated from Colts Neck High School and then earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the Pennsylvania School of Art and Design in 2008. He is Bosch Electric Bike Systems-certified, achieved Trek Ninja Status (the highest level of education from Trek University), and completed a level-one Trek Precision Fit bike fitting class. He attended the Quality Bicycle Products Frostbike 2015 and Trek World 2014 and 2015 (Trek World is Trek's annual event at their headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin and nearby Madison).
Jeff Bisbee
Manager - Trek Bicycle Store of Middletown
"I enjoy the speed, freedom, and creativity one can express while riding. I wanted an opportunity to enable others to experience the same. Get a bike, it'll change your life!"
Favorite bike: Currently rides a Trek Stache 9.8, Trek Farley 7, Trek Domane road bike, and a broken-down beach cruiser. His favorite manufacturer of all time is Trek, which Jeff says "might not be a surprise coming from a guy who works in a Trek store and wears a Trek shirt just about every day." He loves the way Trek drives the industry with its commitment to design and creation of the most innovative products for the woods and road. He admires Trek's focus on having customers ride the best products possible and how it shows in their products' performances.
Jeff has been with Brielle Cyclery since 2014 and currently works as an assistant manager at the Trek Bicycle Store of Middletown. He first learned about Brielle Cyclery back in the early to mid-1990s, when he rediscovered cycling and had heard about the shop's industry reputation. He has worked in sales and management in the bike industry since 2009.
Prior to employment in the bike industry, Jeff received a college education and had 20-year career in landscaping and property management, which still allowed him to appreciate the outdoors. "Before working in the bike industry, the problem was a lack of passion. Getting customers on the best possible product, one that will meet or exceed their goals—that's exciting! That's a career," comments Jeff, who plans to attend Trek managerial and mechanical courses in the near future.
Jeff enjoys mountain and road biking throughout the state and country and has participated in trail restoration and maintenance projects. He also provides introductory mountain biking trail rides for beginners. "As much as I love being around all of the new, latest, and greatest bikes, my favorite part of what I do is assisting new riders, regardless of their age. It can be the 'I haven't ridden a bicycle in 20 years' rider or the 'I'm too old to ride' rider. The end result is always the same, with the smiles of satisfaction that appear when riders realize or remember that they can ride a bike," says Jeff.
Jeff remembers when he was four or five years old and would take out his older sister's "way too big of a bike: "I didn't care about the color or the basket, so long as I was up and riding." Today, Jeff feels fortunate to spend his time with Kristie, who shares his passion for two wheels. He and Kristie can be frequently found loading some or all of their beach cruisers, mountain bikes, or road bikes into their RV to go sample the best riding the country has to offer.

Graphic designers should have an excellent portfolio to showcase their designs. This is how they can reach out to their targeted clients. If you are a graphic designer have you considered using Instagram for creating a winning portfolio? Instagram is a platform that showcases visual media. It can help you create stunning graphic design portfolios and reach out to millions of clients at the same time!
How can you create stunning Instagram portfolios for your work?
As a graphic designer, you need to stand out among your competitors. Instagram is a platform where over 80 million photos are uploaded daily. Given below are some tips to follow when you are looking for an outstanding graphic design portfolio for your clients
1. Making your portfolio perfect
You are a graphic designer so your portfolio should be perfect. The quality of the images has to be good. They need to be clear and not blurred to create confusion. Remember, Instagram is a free social media platform, and you can get tons of traffic daily as there are over 800 million users on it today. If you have a website for your graphic design business, ensure you post its link in the bio of your Instagram page. Visitors would want to know about you when they visit your Instagram Page. The link you post should be working so check it from time to time. In fact, this link on Instagram can be a guide to your more significant projects highlighted on your profile. Lead conversions are better.
2. Art
This plays a crucial role in grabbing attention. Graphic design implies art. The color, design, and style play an essential role to attract the targeted audience. You can use a minimum of just two or three colors. When you are creating an Instagram Page, the layout of your posts are crucial. You should balance your images and your videos well. When you are using captions for your pictures, 3-4 hashtags can be compelling. When you are choosing images for your Instagram portfolio, highlight your best work.
3. Profile picture
Your profile picture is vital for attracting the targeted audience. Now, most graphic designers are not sure on what profile picture to post. Experts in the field say your profile picture should drive the targeted audience to your Instagram page. Some graphic designers like to pose videos. However, experts in the field say you can post your image or logo as the profile picture. The image should be clean and clear. Upload a high -quality image always.
4. Consistent theme
Having a consistent theme on your Instagram Page will fetch you, real followers. In case, you are a new graphic designer and do not have any followers, buy them for example from Gramblast.com. Keep the theme simple. You have a business message you want to deliver to the targeted audience. This business message helps you to market your services. The message you send to your visitor should be the same. You are providing them with graphic design services. You must highlight this message through your images and videos. Instagram focuses a lot on videos and visitors can see the number of views on each of your videos. Most important, your videos and images should be posted with an objective in mind. For instance, you may want your audience to click on your website. You may place a call-to-action link in the post. On the other hand, you may want the audience to post their feedback on recent work. In short, every post should be created keeping an objective in mind. If you are not clear with your post objective, your audience will not know what to do. When you are posting your work on an Instagram stick to one style.
5. Keep your Page interesting
Make sure the posts on your Instagram Page are not boring. Visitors on Instagram are generally in the 18-30 years age group. This is a group that makes the maximum purchases in any business niche. As a graphic designer, it is your job to post fresh and engaging content constantly. Here, a market survey can help you. Know what your targeted audience is looking for. Ask questions on your Instagram Page so that you get an idea on what they expect. Moreover, if you were a customer, think how you would like the content for graphic designing presented to you. These are some little details you should pay attention to when you are working on your Instagram Page to attract clients.
6. Set up an Instagram marketing strategy
Yes, last but not the least, this point is essential. You must schedule your Instagram posts regularly. The posts should be diverse. However, they must conform to your core business style and message. The posting should be done on Instagram regularly. You should schedule your posts at the time when your followers are most active. Do not overwhelm them with too many posts at one time. Keep them balanced. Use Instagram Stories for videos and images. Storytelling works a lot on Instagram. Instagram Stories last for 24 hours, and they appear on new feeds first. Create Stories that your followers will like and share. In short, be inspiring and creative to get optimal results.
Therefore, as a graphic designer, keep the above Instagram tips in mind for your dream portfolio. You will get a competitive edge in the market. Your Instagram Page can be a powerful marketing tool for showcasing your work. Plan your posts out regularly. Use storytelling. Be consistent and conform to your business message every time you post on Instagram. Gradually, you will find followers liking and sharing your posts. Instagram is a free social media platform. Create a good portfolio and highlight it here. If you have a personal account, convert it into a business account. However, before that ensure you make a Facebook business page with your work. This will help you to attract more targeted clients and expand your reach in the online graphic designing market with success!

That's right, it's been about 6 months, and you know what that means-- Monster Mania is just around the corner. This convention is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures, and I'd be excited for it in any case, but this time I'm particularly excited. As far as I know, the next issue of Monster Mania Magazine will be available at the show. This is the issue that will include my retrospective article detailing the history of the "Friday the 13th" series. After it's published, I'll post it here for all to read. Until then-- buy your own copy!
This time around the focus of the convention is (obviously) on Friday the 13th. With the reboot film coming out in a few weeks, I suppose they're trying to wedge themselves back into the public consciousness in any way possible. I'm all for it-- I'm excited for the new film (even though, a true reboot would not include Jason in the first film, but I digress...) And, yes, I still love the old "Fridays", as well-- all 8 or 9 or 15 of 'em.
In addition to "Friday" guests, other appearances will include Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), Alice Cooper (Heavy Metal Legend and, of course, John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness"), Caroline Williams (Stretch from one of my faves, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2") and even... Fairuza Balk... of, uh... "The Craft."
But, anyway...
The convention is at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey over the weekend of March 13-15. It's always a good time, and who knows... you may run into me on Saturday. I'll be the one in the full Freddy Kreuger make-up.

PIEDMONT — Elizabeth "Betsy" Andersen is the new face on the City Council, chosen from a field of 12 applicants for the seat vacated by Jeff Wieler, who resigned from the council Sept. 5 following a public outcry over his Facebook and other posts deemed offensive.
She was officially sworn in on Oct. 16 and will serve out Wieler's term until the November 2018 election. She does intend to run for a seat in that election. Sitting council members are delighted to have her on board.
"I've admired Betsy's civic activism for several years now," Vice Mayor Teddy King said. "Her laser-like focus on Piedmont's aquatic facility is a reason we are as far as we are on this proposed project. She's smart, she's funny and she gets it."
Andersen's first job was as a lifeguard at Piedmont Community Pool.
"I swam competitively there from 5 to 18 years old," Andersen said, adding that yes, a new aquatics facility is in her sights, some how, some way.
A tireless civic volunteer for seven years, Andersen, 47, grew up in Piedmont. Her parents, Tom and Sue Smegal, set the tone for their daughter's volunteerism. Sue Smegal served on the Piedmont Unified School District board; her father, now a judge, has been for years also involved in legal services for low-income people.
"They were excellent role models for me," said Andersen, who is an attorney for Holland & Knight LLP.
She credits her husband Robert, two daughters, her parents and her brother, Tom Smegal, and his wife, Cory, for supporting her in all her community endeavors. Her daughters are a senior and a freshman at Piedmont High School.
"We are so lucky we all live close to one another for rides and carpools," Andersen said.
She last served as chair of the Recreation Commission, a position she had to vacate when she was appointed to the council. She is a troop leader for the Girl Scouts, served on the Aquatics Steering Committee, was co-campaign chair for both school board members Cory Smegal and Sarah Pearson, board member of Piedmont Recreational Facilities Organization, and a member of the League of Women Voters.
She also was board member of Legal Assistance for Seniors.
Graduating from Piedmont High School, she obtained a degree in Policy Studies from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, in 1992. She worked in freelance video production and in fundraising for a girl's school before she decided to attend law school.
"As a pregnant student, I was allowed to take the exam in a room by myself," she said. "My daughter was born during finals."
Andersen loves her hometown and its people, but there is always work to be done.
"We want to focus on constructive things that bring us together," she said. "Nationally, it's a challenging time. The school district, the police and the Piedmont Appreciating Diversity Committee and diversity film series are all doing such amazing work to create a more inclusive environment."
Her focus includes the city's aging infrastructures, its green initiatives, traffic and pedestrian safety and disaster preparedness. She encourages people to offer ideas and support for a new aquatics facility that would offer more opportunities for seniors such as water aerobics or rehab exercises, saying "swimming is for life." She encourages bicycling or walking in town wherever possible.
"Also, with the recent devastating fires, I support ongoing efforts by police and fire to reach out to neighborhoods to organize," she said.
When she has down time, Andersen enjoys walking her beloved pooch Hazel, reading non-fiction books and "talking to friends scattered across the country."
"Betsy brings a strong track record of experience and contributions to the city," Mayor Bob McBain said. "Her efforts on the Public Safety Committee, followed with her excellent work as chair of the Recreation Commission demonstrate that she not only wants to get things done, but knows how to work with people to accomplish those goals.
"Her tireless work with PRFO and city staff with the Hampton Park renovation is an excellent example of her efforts," he continued. "The council enthusiastically welcomes her."

April 27, 2015 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids Community College helped a Sparta High School student find his career path — and gave him plenty of experience along the way.
Dan Eggerding decided to attend GRCC to save money while fulfilling general education requirements for a bachelor's degree.
"My goal was to then figure out my passion and transfer these credits over to that four-year institution that would have what I wanted to study," he said. "The greatest thing I did at GRCC was join the College Democrats club. This club introduced me to so many new people and friends on campus. It was there that I discovered I wanted to dedicate my life to public-service, to help all people."
For Eggerding, attending weekly meetings wasn't enough. He served as vice president last year and president this year. He and other organization members worked to bring the annual Michigan Federation of College Democrats Conference to the campus last fall, making GRCC the first community college to host the event. He has since been elected the federation's western regional director and will assist 10 chapters throughout the state with fundraising, outreach and member retention. He took his interest in politics outside the campus, as well, serving as a precinct delegate and campaigning for candidates.
It was clear that Eggerding had found his passion: political science.
In addition to his studies and his civic activities, Eggerding also found time to complete GRCC's Honors Program. This program gave him an opportunity that many of his fellow political science students will envy: meeting a president.
"Dan participated in an essay contest where he earned the opportunity of meeting Jimmy Carter when the former president spoke as part of our Diversity Lecture Series," said Michael Schavey, director of the department of experiential learning.
"Dan's accomplishment of completing the Honors Program includes a range of learning activities designed to dig deeper into course content while being exposed to diverse ways of thinking and gaining leadership skills. He is an exemplary Honors student and I'm excited for his bright future."
Eggerding, who also received GRCC's Benham Service and Civic Engagement Award, will get an Associate of Arts degree during GRCC's commencement at 7 p.m. May 1 in the Van Andel Arena, 130 Fulton St. W. After graduation, he will transfer to Michigan State University's James Madison College. He plans to major in political theory/constitutional democracy, social relations policy and Spanish.
"I have made many close personal relationships unexpectedly," Eggerding said of his GRCC experience. "I have connected amazingly with students and great with staff. My counselors helped me with classes and future obstacles — and my new friends helped me along the way."
Grand Rapids Community College has been offering educational opportunities in West Michigan for 100 years. Established in 1914, the college offers degree courses, certification and training programs, and workshops and personal enrichment classes. Offerings are held on GRCC's downtown Grand Rapids campus, and at several locations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties, as well as through distance learning.

A bit over a month ago we learned the full details of American's new basic economy fares. Delta was the first to introduce basic economy fares a couple of years back, though both American and United are following Delta's lead, and are actually making these fares even more restrictive than Delta has.
American passengers booking basic economy fares:
- Won't be able to select seats in advance; instead they'll automatically be assigned seats at check-in, or they can pay to assign seats 48 hours out
- No upgrades are permitted, even for elite members
- Only a personal item can be taken on the plane, and not a full size carry-on
- They'll have to board with the last boarding group
- Tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable, even at a fee
- Full redeemable miles and elite qualifying dollars will be awarded for these fares, though only half elite qualifying miles and segments will be awarded
Elite members and co-brand credit card holders are exempt from the carry-on limitations and having to board with the last group, though the other rules still apply.
So if you're an elite member and value the perks of your status, you'll definitely want to shy away from these fares. Furthermore, if you're someone who typically carries on a bag and cares where you sit, you'll also want to avoid these fares.
The legacy carriers suggest that these fares are intended to compete with the ultra low cost carriers like Spirit, though I'm not sure I buy that argument. After all, it's not like we've seen U.S. carriers lower fares with the introduction of basic economy. Instead they've just used it as a way of trying to get passengers to pay more. Furthermore, we've seen basic economy fares introduced on plenty of routes not served by low cost carriers.
Well, American basic economy fares will be bookable as of today for travel starting March 1, 2017. American will be rolling out these new fares slowly. As of today, basic economy fares are available in the following 10 markets:
Here are the "key points" American is making about these new fares:
- These routes were chosen because they provide a variety of competitive situations. Also, this mix of hubs and other cities is a good fit for preparing our airport operation for Basic Economy
- Pricing and availability of Basic Economy will always vary based on supply and demand
- This is the first phase, with more cities to come in the months ahead
As of the time of this post these new fares aren't yet bookable, though they should be within a few hours. As a matter of fact, as of now I'm seeing "main cabin" tickets not for sale in many of these markets, presumably because they're updating their systems.
But something tells me the prices won't magically be dropping overnight…
Fortunately these fares are being rolled out slowly, though going forward you'll want to be a bit more cautious when booking American tickets, and make sure you avoid these basic economy fares.

When referring to spring flowering bulbs, what is the difference between perennializers and naturalizers? Simply, bulbs that are reliable perennializers can be expected to rebloom for several years in the garden. Yes, they need to be fertilized in the fall (about now), fed again in the spring when the foliage breaks ground and a third time after flowering. They will have been planted deep (half again as deep as normal), grown in a sunny, well-drained location and allowed to ripen their foliage completely after flowering.
Many of the daffs (Narcissus) are good perennializers. Especially good are Ice Follies, Salome and many of the mini-daffs, as well as Tulip Orange Emperor and several species types such as Tulipa tarda. However, it is the minor bulbs Siberian Squill (Scilla siberica), Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa) and grape hyacinth (Muscari) that are a joy to see returning yearly.
Naturalizers are bulbs that not only return yearly but also increase and spread throughout an area within the garden. Naturally, a bulb species must be a perennializer before it can be a naturalizer, unless it is growing from seed each year. Thus, we can expect that it is the minor bulbs such as Scilla, Chionodoxa and Muscari that are the more reliable naturalizers.
Why is it that all spring flowering bulbs do not function as perennials and spreaders? They must do so where they are natives.

Section 6.6.2 of the ASME B1.13 standard only applies to the values in table 12 per ISO 965-1
B1.13 is the same as ISO 965-1
I emailed the sectary of ISO and asked about this issue and he replied,
In the ISO/CD 965-1:2012 (ISO/TC1 N 621-1) the clause number is 10.4.2. The new one is in this annex.
In the first paragraph of the chapter 1 (Scope), it said that all the tolerances for the series of threads specified by ISO 261 are given.
For some special series of threads their tolerances are not given in the table 5. In these cases the designer shall give the tolerances by his self. Usually he decides the tolerances by the tolerance formulae.

After conferring with several Industry colleagues it appears section 6.6.2 of the ASME B1.13 standard only applies to the values in table 12 per ISO 965-1. When calculating values not in the table you do not use this calculation.
We made the same assumption when we developed our software. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Bruce -
You sent a revision to Dominic Scully changing your metric program. Previously your program calculated P.D. Tolerance and if the calculated tolerance was greater than .25p, you used .25p as the P.D. Tolerance. We believe that this is the proper application of the standard but when I applied your new version, you use the calculated P.D. Tolerance. As an example, try M50.0x0.5 6H. The previous version gives NoGo pd as 49.800mm and the revised version gives 49.808mm. Please check your basis for the change and advise.
Many thanks as always,

Mumbai: Neighbours unite to back youth accused of attacking Bandra woman
Hill Road residents and eyewitnesses say it was Sandra Rocha who started the fight on Oct 27 by abusing college student Ashish Pandey's father
In a twist to our Wednesday's report about a woman crying assault at Hill Road, eyewitnesses and residents of the area are claiming that she was the one at fault.
Residents of Ganpatwadi, Hill Road, Bandra (West) have complained to the police commissioner against Sandra Rocha, the woman who had lodged a complaint at Bandra police station on October 27, alleging that she had been threatened and assaulted by her neighbours, the Pandeys.
Residents of Ganpatwadi, Hill Road, have complained to the police commissioner against Sandra Rocha
About 15 to 20 residents carried out a signature campaign and wrote to the top cop, stating that not just the Pandey family but many others had a grouse with her since she "has been harassing others over various issues".
After reading mid-day's report on Rocha's allegations, one of the eyewitnesses to her roadside brawl with college student Ashish Pandey came forward to say that she was the one who started it.
Roshan Pandey, Ashish's elder brother, said that Rocha's complaint was false and she was the one who had instigated Ashish by abusing his father. Ashish responded by throwing away her two-wheeler's key, and she then tried hitting him with the helmet, Roshan said.
While the mid-day report on November 11 mentioned that Rocha had lodged an FIR following the incident, it was actually a non-cognisable offence, he said.
"She has been a nuisance for us for many years now, and we have stopped even crossing her way, but she still wants to boss around. Because of her, my younger brother is in trouble despite doing nothing. The allegations that he pulled her hair and assaulted her are all false and nothing like that happened. There never was any FIR against
my brother Ashish on October 27, as she had taken an apology from us in writing," Roshan told this paper.
Eyewitnesses to the incident and neighbours sided with Ashish, and claimed that Rocha has been involved
in many fights with other neighbours. An immediate neighbour of Rocha, Mary Pinto (77), said, "She stays next door and keeps fighting and troubling me for no reason. I am supposed to get water from the tap, but instead of giving it to me — who is legally bound to get water — she doesn't allow me to get it most times, but rather gives it to
the Dubeys."
As mentioned in our earlier report, the problem started when Rocha gave water for house chores to Uma Dubey, whose water supply had been severed years ago owing to a property feud with the Pandeys in the court.
Another neighbour, Yameen Qureshi, said, "She keeps on instigating people, and when someone retaliates she rushes to the police station. She keeps lodging complaints, and this time she has put Ashish's future at risk."
A mechanic present at the time of the alleged assault said, "After she came, there was a verbal fight. Initially many tried stopping them but in vain. However, the fight heated up as she said something against his father, and he
threw her keys, to which she responded by trying to hit him, but ended up hitting me as I was trying to stop both of them."
mid-day's report on November 12
Senior Police Inspector Ramchandra Dhawale at Bandra police station said, "There was no FIR on October 27 against the Pandey family. Rocha has been coming to the police station to lodge an FIR, and we have started the procedures of doing so, since not registering it could have led to certain problems: When a woman complains of an assault, we have to register a case, and that is what we are doing."
Reacting to her neighbours' opinion and claims, Sandra Rocha said, "They are trying to save themselves. All the allegations they are making against are false. Let the law decide."

Our region just had the first freezing temperatures of the year. When that happens, you have a couple of items that you must do to continue to fish this fall and winter. If you don't take these steps, you better learn to dog pedal.
Many of the angler's in our region fish all year long, to do this, there are several steps that need to be done every time you go boating after the temperatures start to reach the freezing point. These steps are easy and only require a few minutes to complete and will keep you from having a problem that could possibly cost you your life. Water freezes at 32 degrees, when water freezes, it expands. This expansion is a problem for the pumps, values, hoses and even some engine parts on your boat. When a component freezes and cracks, a water or fuel leaks will occur. Water leaks will at a minimum will get you wet, hampers boat drive-ability and wreck you day. But much more dangerous results are possible; you boat could sink leaving you in the cold water causing hypothermia, loss of consciousness and possible death. The hazards of a fuel leak are just as dangerous, with fire and explosions possible. Leaks of either water or fuel should be taken very seriously as life and limb can be a consequence of a part failure.
So how can I keep this from happening to me? You can never stop every issue from occurring, but you can take the steps that will minimize your risk of them happening to you. First thing to do after boating in freezing climates starts at the boat ramp after you load your boat on the trailer. Pull your rig into the parking lot and trim your engine all the way down. This will allow the water to drain out of the engine completely, this takes about five minutes. No water in the engine means no engine parts freezing, cracking and causing fuel leaks. Next, remove your boats drain plug and allow the water to drain out every time you go boating during cold weather. Next, drain your live-well/bait-wells completely and leave them in the empty position. This will let the water drain from the pumps, valves and hoses and keep them from cracking which could cause a water leak. Now you are ready to drive home and park your rig. When you arrive home, if your rig gets parked outside, make sure that the nose of the trailer is cranked up to allow any water from rain or snow to drain out. I always check my boat for water after parking the truck every time I launch my boat during cold weather, just in case a pump cracked. Do this by turning on the bilge pump, if it pumps water, put it immediately back on the trailer to find the reason water got into the bilge. That's all there is to it.
Take these simple steps during cold weather boating and chances are you will have a great time without taking any chances of something bad occurring. It should be mentioned that other engine services are required such as checking gear cases for water should be done before it gets to cold. Also reread our post from April about warming up DFI Engines, as cold water and cold air require you to warm your engine up before operating it in cold conditions. Some of the best fishing days I have ever had occurred on the Potomac River when ice was forming in the guides of my fishing rod. Cold weather fishing is great fun when you are well prepared and look at safety first.

Quotes for "acceptance":
"I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times."
"I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal."
"The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one."
"Marriage was all a woman's idea and for man's acceptance of the pretty yoke, it becomes us to be grateful."
"Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done."
"The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain."
"'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years."
"I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home."
"I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality."
"Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world."

Small cheese pies with sun-dried tomatoes and almonds
Sometimes recipes can be quite simple, as simple as they can get really. That doesn't mean they are less delicious or that they lack in flavor or panache. A recipe doesn't have to be difficult, laborious or extravagant to be worthwhile.
450 gr / 1 lb self-rising flour
1 teacup olive oil
1 teacup milk
250 gr / 1/2 lb cheese mixed (feta, kaseri, cheddar)
110 gr /4 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
60 gr / 2 oz white almonds, chopped
black pepper and oregano to taste
1 egg white for shining
Preheat oven to 180 ° C.
In a large bowl combine olive oil, cheese, pepper, milk and flour. Finally, add sun-dried tomatoes, almonds and oregano.
Knead all ingredients with hands until well mixed and become an elastic dough that does not stick to hands.
Spread wax paper in a large baking pan. Take small pieces of dough and mold cheese pies in any shape you like (you may use small form-cutters as well) and grounded in the pan with a little distance between them as they will inflate.
Brush with egg white to shine.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Serve warm or cold.
This recipe is open to many variations. You may use any cheese you like, add olives, vegetables, herbs, and even sausages and generally whatever you like and you think that match together. Feel free to play with the ingredients, flavors and colors and find which version suits you best. Let your kids play in this "game" of flavors, you will enjoy it!
Caution: If the cheese or sausage you use is too salty, no need to add salt.
