EMS, customers, Manzer, store, outdoor, Fast Company, retailer, sports, mountain, climbing, gear, brand, Advertisement, employee, Brewer.
Summary:
Sometimes saving a brand means making tough choices.In order for Eastern Mountain Sports to regain its foothold as a premier outdoor outfitter, it may have to cut loose many of its customers.On the contrary, the 52-year-old CEO of outdoor retailer Eastern Mountain Sports looks more like he might just pick a fight for the hell of it.It's the kind of intensity that has earned him the nickname "Mad Dog" at the company's headquarters in the woods of Peterborough, New Hampshire.But chicken or not, Manzer is running for his life.The company was founded in 1967 by a gritty mountain man who was irritated that no one in the United States carried ice-climbing axes.But in recent years, EMS moved away from selling technical gear such as kayaks, rock-climbing shoes, and ski bindings to hard-core outdoor types, and began courting older, mainstream customers with such soft stuff as fleece jackets and cotton sweaters."EMS had become a Gap with climbing ropes," says Manzer of the outfit he acquired through a management buyout in September.In the short run, that could mean some loss of revenue, and maybe some store closings and relocations.Rodney Brewer of Worcester, Massachusetts, is just the kind of gearhead EMS lost and wants back.Brewer first walked into an EMS store when he was 12.The store's message to customers like Brewer: "Don't shop here anymore; we don't carry gear," says veteran employee Tim Bradbury.Lucas Conley is a Fast Company staff writer.

Lawn Care edu.com News: Going organic!?
IPM -- Integrated Pest Management -- minimizes pesticides through understanding the life cycle of the pest and finding weak points.For example, mechanical barriers and traps, biological adversaries and natural repellents, removing attractions.Important methods -- our main resources for many situations.But with plants, we have a significant additional advantage: healthy biological systems resist pests.On March 8 when "Lawn Care Tips and Tricks" was snowed out, I enjoyed the quiet and the time-out the storm gave us -- but I was glad there's another free presentation on organic lawn care coming.Funded by The Groton Commissioners of Trust Funds; and sponsored by The Groton Garden Club, The Groton Board of Health and the Groton Conservation Commission: on April 10 at 2 p.m., Pat Beckett and Chip Osborne -- co-chairs of the Marblehead Pesticide Awareness Committee and their Living Lawn Project -- will speak at the McNeill Lounge at Lawrence Academy, on "Simple Steps Toward Organic Lawn Care."but now rescheduled: Donald Bishop of Gardens Are...

Summary:
Editor's note: Readers of the free Manufacturingtalk weekly email newsletter will have read this news the week it was announced.The twin-spindle lathe, available in 42mm and 65mm bar versions, has upper and lower turrets whose guideways consist of a cast iron plate sliding over ceramic-coated steel strips, X and Z motions being effected by kinematic rods behind the bed.Another unusual feature is the 2-axis opposed spindle, which is electronically coupled with the lower turret so backworking may be performed while twin-turret front-working is in progress at the main spindle.

Summary:
When David Calabrese needs to hire an employee at his Naugatuck shop, he makes his first call to Mike Cooper.Cooper heads the Waterbury Adult Education Technical Training Center, a manufacturing training center that's found jobs for about 90 percent of its nearly 700 graduates.Calabrese is the current president of Manufacturing Alliance Service Corp. that oversees the center, but he's also president of Cole Screw Machine Inc., which turns out precision products for a host of industries.So far, Calabrese figures he's hired at least five employees from the program, which not only aims to give students basic manufacturing skills, but employment skills they'll need to keep their jobs."The program runs on the pretext that they're going to train people to be employees as well as give them job skills," Calabrese said."That's the advantage to me as an employer.It is an exciting time for the center's supporters, said Frank Johnson, executive director of the Waterbury-based Manufacturing Alliance of Connecticut, or MAC."I really can't stress how important it is to manufacturers to have a resource to ramp up very quickly and deliver what manufacturers need, which is trained employees," Johnson said.It's particularly crucial in Connecticut, where manufacturing accounts for a larger percentage of employment than the nation as a whole, and even more so in Greater Waterbury, where manufacturing directly accounts for about 16 percent of the jobs and indirectly for about one-third of all jobs.Now quartered in 17,000 square feet of space at 74 Mattatuck Heights, the center expects to move this summer into the renovated 22,000-square-foot Interstate Lane complex.Plans call for office, classroom and training space, plus a 40-seat video conference center available for training, "distance-learning" and other uses by area manufacturers, manufacturing groups and education-related organizations.Waterbury's Adult Education Department currently covers the center's $120,000 annual rent and funding for instructional salaries, while area manufacturers have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in monetary and in-kind donations of materials, equipment and time.Moving to the new building not only eliminates the rent payments, but allows those managing the center to stop thinking about finding a permanent home and focus on its core mission of training.Founded in 1996, the center offers classroom and hands-on training on the setup, operation and maintenance of precision manufacturing equipment such as screw machines and eyelet presses.It offers training for entry-level employees, current workers looking to upgrade skills and apprentice programs.It was the first school in the country credentialed in training standards set by the National Institute of Metalworking Skills, or NIMS, and also customizes training for an individual firms or groups of companies.Training on the 10-week entry-level program begins with classroom sessions covering blueprint reading and integrated math -- skills crucial in just about any manufacturing position -- then moves to hands-on training.That means first learning basic skills in the center's tool room, then moving onto the shop floor, for work on eyelet and screw machines, two of Greater Waterbury's core manufacturing technologies.Waterbury residents Jason Carter and Reggie Griffin graduated Friday from the program.

Pruning a Privet Hedge
Source: National Gardening Association & ArcaMax.com
Question: I planted a privet hedge about 4 years ago along the top of a berm. It has grown very well. I trim it down each spring. However, it is now about 4 feet tall but not bushing out at the bottom. How can I get it to fill in at the bottom? Should I trim it back severely?
Answer: Privet responds well to drastic pruning, which is one reason it's such a popular hedge and topiary shrub. Cut it back hard, either to within a few inches of the ground or to a few longer branches. Always make the top a bit narrower than the bottom to allow the sun to reach the lower branches encouraging full, green growth. Maintain good density by cutting back a third of the older stems each season while the shrubs are dormant, and shear it regularly during the spring and summer.
