In the seminal writing guide The Elements of Style, William Strunk and E.B. White famously advised us to "Omit Needless Words." What's true for writers is also applicable for other aspects of creativity as well, especially design.
The Industry's Jered Erondu reveals how the writing process has improved his design work:
In writing, it's the ability to impart an idea in a short amount of words. Seth Godin's blog is a perfect example. Everyday, he delivers a rich piece of advice in what most blogs will consider a mere paragraph.
In design, brevity is finding the best way to perform an action in the fewest steps without losing efficiency or the message. And it requires building a visual hierarchy–understanding what the most important actions are for your product.
What's most important now? Show that on top. What will be used infrequently? Show that later. How many steps are needed to access them–are they all necessary? Could removing this or adding that drop the action time by one step or second? These are the questions I ask myself when designing. I make my first design pass, then revisit later to "shorten."
We typically think of "burnout" as the result of working too many hard, stressful hours. However, new research shows that burnouts actually come in three different types, and each requires a different strategy to fix.
1. Overload:
The frenetic employee who works toward success until exhaustion, is most closely related to emotional venting. These individuals might try to cope with their stress by complaining about the organizational hierarchy at work, feeling as though it imposes limits on their goals and ambitions. That coping strategy, unsurprisingly, seems to lead to a stress overload and a tendency to throw in the towel.
2. Lack of Development:
Most closely associated with an avoidance coping strategy. These under-challenged workers tend to manage stress by distancing themselves from work, a strategy that leads to depersonalization and cynicism — a harbinger for burning out and packing up shop.
3. Neglect:
Seems to stem from a coping strategy based on giving up in the face of stress. Even though these individuals want to achieve a certain goal, they lack the motivation to plow through barriers to get to it.
Knowing the signs of each type (e.g. a coworker talking badly about their boss, becoming aloof, missing deadlines, etc.) is key to recognizing, and thus being able to fix, the problem as a whole.

Want to experience flashes of creative insight akin to those Bill Gates and artist Chuck Close have? Skillshare CEO Michael Karnjanaprakorn recommends you do what he (and those great thinkers) do, take a week off work:
Every year, Bill Gates goes into seclusion for a "Think Week," or private retreat, from which employees, friends, and even family are strictly banned….Twice a year, I get out of the office, breaking from my normal routine, for much needed "Think Weeks." By actively disconnecting and looking at everything from 50,000 feet, I am able to effectively reflect, reset, and clearly rethink my goals and aspirations….For each "Think Week," I create a life to-do list, do a lot of research, and think through big ideas and challenges deeply. Going through this process has been enlightening.
You don't have to leave town for a worthwhile time away either, as Karnjanaprakorn mentions:
While traveling to an exotic, off-the-grid location would be great, you can also get a lot accomplished in your home city. Visit a new neighborhood, find a quite spot in the park, or rent a desk at a local co-working space.
Of course, if you can't take a week off, even a day or a few hours away from the office can provide just enough time and perspective to provide insights. However, the benefits are only earned when you use the time to actively think. See how Karnjanaprakorn and Skillshare utilize "Think Weeks" over on Fast Company.
"The Pit of Discomfiture,"writes Julie Zhuo , "is a place with which I am well acquainted, having spent a good number of years here on the way to every conceivable destination, all the while pretending I were someplace more pleasant."
Every creative falls into a state of doubt (about themselves, their talents, or their passions) during their careers, and Zhuo is no different. She explains in a recent post on Medium:
When you are currently stuck in the Pit, it sucks. And it is extraordinarily difficult to admit, even to yourself. You either delude yourself into thinkingnothing is wrong with you (it's the environment conspiring against you—the shitty weather, your boss, that meeting, the whole stinkin' culture of this place), or everything is wrong with you (the way you look and talk and think and act—the very atoms that make up your being, in fact—all of it is wrong.)
There are two ways out: backwards or forwards — but only one leads to growth.
The first is to forego the whole adventure and take the elevator back to the start. Yes, it's as easy as it sounds…
The second way out of the Pit is to wander through the dankness, tripping and stumbling in the dark until your feet strike something solid—a step, a slight elevation to push off of until you are just a few inches higher than you were. And then you do it again—trip and stumble and wander until you find the next step. And the next. And the next… This path is hard… Your ego will take a bruising on those jagged walls. You may get lost for weeks or months or even years. And everything you produce while on this path [seem like] garbage…
But at the end, know that there is nothing like it. To have gone through the Pit, to have climbed it rock by painstaking rock and emerged capable of creating the kind of work that pleases you, the kind that filled you with inspiration in the first place—nobody ever regrets the journey,
As Goethe once said, "Everything is hard before it is easy."

Though the advice "just do what you love" sounds great, it can also come across as unrealistic. Not all of us have the luxury of not worrying about steady income, supporting others, or health, after all. Leo Babuta of Zen Habit can commiserate, and lists the three conundrums you must ask yourself first before making the leap. Here's one of our favorites:
Will earning money for what you love make you stop loving it? When you do what you love for a living (let's say, writing or helping people), don't show up every day for the money. That's a lousy motivation, and eventually it'll become drudgery, because money isn't something you can really love. Instead, show up every day for a better reason. I show up every day and put in my hours because I hope what I do will help people, and I love helping people. It never gets tiring, never becomes drudgery.
American culture obsesses over the idea of finding our "on true passion" in life; just make sure it's a passion that fits your life too.

Focused purely on idea execution, seamless design, and empowering you to take action, our 99U Conference takes a different approach from most creative conferences. We want everyone who attends to walk away with pragmatic insights on making ideas happen, a new set of creative allies and connections, and a refreshed (and re-amped!) perspective on how to get started changing the world.
But we felt like our existing website wasn't quite conveying what makes 99U so special. To better embody how much love and care we put into the conference experience, we fully redesigned conference.99u.com.
We're doing everything in our power to make 2014 our biggest and best event yet — a dose of idea rocket fuel that motivates you for months to come. Come check out the new site, and get a sense of the experience. We'd love to have you join us this May.

Open-source hardware standards formally issued
NEW YORK--There are 13 million-dollar open-source hardware companies, but there have been no standards governing what defines the still nascent field.
Until now, that is.
Unlike open-source software, because there have been no formal definitions, many people may not even be aware of the growing industry. But already some of those practicing its general principles have become household names among the geek set: Arduino, the programmable single-board microcontroller and software suite; Chumby, a popular Wi-Fi device; MakerBot, a low-priced 3D printer; and Adafruit, a maker of do-it-yourself hardware kits for things like MP3 players and more.

13 Questions from the Community
Can the handle be placed on either side of the faucet, left or right?
How high is the Kohler K-647 ?
The specs say max 1.5" sink thickness- this will be installed in granite countertop- do I need to order extensions?
Is there a matching soap dispenser for this model?
does this use a ceramic disk?
Is the retractable sprayer magnetized?
On this faucet or the Kohler K-10430 faucet is the aerator removable to clean out debris that may build up?
I love this faucet and need to order a sink, as well. Do I order a one-hole sink, or do I need two holes?
I see 5 and 6 on center holes work--what about 5.5 inch on center?
how much room is needed between the backsplash and mounted handle to operate smoothly?
I have one of your first kohler pullout faucets purchased in 2000, it is a two hole; is the hose the same flex ss hose as contained in older model?
Are the supply hoses metal or braided ?
How long are the hot and cold water supply lines?

In an individualistic world where autonomy is a requirement for human-involvement, should conversation be mandatory?
As a 23-year old female, working at TED with amazing people and amongst the greatest of minds, I find that when one introduces themselves to another, our personal walls dissolve rapidly. From watching speakers cheer each other on during auditions, and watching the personal connections develop in such short time, it's almost as beautiful as watching their brain's dendrites connect all sorts of seemingly impossible things during presentations.
However, walking around my neighborhood of South Williamsburg, my soul burns when the eyes of my peers pierce it with their unrivaled fervor of judgement and apathy [that I secretly hope is false.]
Within all of us, young and old, is the drive and will to connect--so why do we give blank stares to the glow of our phone, instead of smiling back at the faces across from us? Why do we put so much weight on assimilating to the standards of others in order to feel accepted?
I want to ask the TED community to start a conversation where we can all be honest about how we generally feel speaking to others in public. Because, as a former journalism student turned creative-writing graduate, I wonder if we would all be happier knowing that everyone we pass by is a potential friend, lover, or soulmate.
We tell our most painful secrets to strangers in stream-of-consciousness outbursts, but refuse to communicate wholly with the ones closest to us. Why?
Why do you choose anonymity or intimacy?

Jun 15 2012: You know that little voice in your head? The one that says "head down, be safe, don't do that, don't talk to strangers"? That voice is what keeps people from interacting.
People are afraid:
-Of being rejected
-of being robbed
-of finding out your missing something
-of looking strange to others
-of how they sound
-of you
-of themselves
People who don't smile at strangers are scared or do not have respect. -

Burnt! How ya been? Kinda orangeish or reddish maybe! Anyhow, good job on those consecutive days bud! Keep up the good work. Good posting earlier, I just can't remember where or what topic now! Did you hear what happened to the Finns at the Olympics? Just horrible! Almost made me cry! Oh, Man, I feel so sorry for the Finns now that I know what went on at the Olympics that they didn't show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mKVJeA-wTw You'll see what I mean on that! LOL! Even though it's in Dutch/Nederlander, you'll see what happened and understand! Oh, if we're lucky, we'll see prices start to turn down a bit within the next 12 days to five weeks. As usual, it won't go down enough. Have a great day and week ahead.
The water tower story is not only a repost, it's not even close to accurate. Read the suit here: http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/208446910#fullscreen
Usually he deletes the posting he copies, which indicates he probably is deliberately copying. Yes, it is "his site", but that doesn't excuse plagiarism or failing to give credit to the original poster. The site would be stronger if the original post were elevated.
I see PD ripped off the information in the article you just posted and published it as his own. Usually he deletes his sources.
Today is our mutual buddy SUVBeamer's birthday. We're throwing him a WhiteBoard Birthday Party. Please post a BD message on his whiteboard. Thanks!!!

Remember the good ol' days when you ran through the sprinkler and waged epic water fights when it was hot out?

Latest reviews are Hurricane Hordak and Shadow Weaver!
Awesome Shadow Weaver review Poe Ghostal!
Nice reviews.
I am surprised you didn't give Shadow Weaver 4 ravens... or 4.5 even.
You actually can use the stand like Orko's. It's made so that you can fasten her to it by pushing her all the way onto the stand, or you can push half-way, and it hits a groove, and she can pivot... it allows for posing her as though she's gliding forward!
A Want List of Sorts: Eldor, Imp, Filmation Hordak, Sweet Bee, Arrow, NA She-Ra, Spinnerella, Mermista, Gwildor, Tung Lasher, Evil Sky Sled, Lizard Man, Dragstor, Huntara, Stridor, Filmation Hover-Bots, Night Stalker, ... and all the other POP & NA characters.
Added the following reviews:
- NEW! Stinkor
- NEW! Snake Man-At-Arms

These are great reviews, thanks.
See ya',
He-BroI need to sell 5 more items on eBay before the 20th so I have a ton of stuff on there right now, some things starting at 25 cents.
Buy a Pookie or a Castle trap door in my My Shapeways Store - also some cool custom accessories like the Diamond Ray of disappearance, TrapJaw's Attachments, Coridite Crystals, Horn of Evil, Tytus Hammer, etc...
I like that Poe is reviewing all of the mini-comics, a new one every week!

I want to, but it's proving to be way more work than I expected...I may have to cut down on the blow-by-blow breakdown...
Anyway, I added two new reviews!
- NEW! Sir Laser Lot
NEW! Mekaneck
Very cool Poe. Love the site.
Added my Castle Grayskullman review!
Despite a few negatives – the smooth limbs and somewhat limited articulation – Castle Grayskullman is still a fantastic MOTUC figure. He's very well-designed, excellently sculpted, and comes with a load of fantastic accessories. In some ways, after He-Man and Skeletor he could arguably be the one figure you have to have in your collection – he's representative of so much of this franchise as a whole: Castle Grayskull, He-Man himself (the hair), and the franchise's amazing ability to take a ridiculous concept and make it work somehow.

Had to laugh at loud at that last photo; here's hoping CGM doesn't wind up relegated to a sad reality show after his star begins to fade like a certain wrestler he evokes...
I have to agree on your points, though mine does appear to have rocker ankles (though very limited rocking is possible, so I imagine any sticking at all would make them seem solid). Got mine in the entrance to the cardboard King Grayskull castle right now; I thikn he's going to look amazing in the same place when the MOTUC Grayskull comes out next year.

Sorry about that - fixed!
Castle Grayskullman review
Super!(Don´t ask me why, but that actually was the first word that popped up in my head when i saw your reply.)
Thank you.
I think i´m the only one who didn´t buy him but i´m also one of the few who isn´t interested in Castle Grayskull itself.
Still i´m really interested in him and what others think of him, as a figure he looks great there is no doubt and i like the hair. I think Mr. Benedict made the right choice when he created him with hair.
I hope everyone who wanted him got him
Poe: I love your site. I just really do.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Hey Poe, I appreciate a good April Fool's joke, but this was unwatchable.
Never again!
Your support means more research for the Myostatin-challenged.

CHICAGO Logistics trump labor costs when it comes to the challenges of competing in a global tube market from a U.S. base of operations, according to the president of Handy & Harman - MTF Inc. USA. Handy & Harmans labor costs for tubing amount to about 12 cents on the dollar, John Coates said at AMMs 26th annual Stainless and Its Alloys Conference in Chicago. For small-diameter material, the labor content is even lower, "so we can put it in little boxes and ship it all over the world," he said.....

Tue November 9, 2010
EPA: 50 Kalamazoo River oil spill sites clean
By Zoe Clark
Officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency briefed people at a meeting last night in Battle Creek about the continuing clean-up of the Kalamazoo River oil spill. EPA officials say they've finished cleaning up 50 sites in the river.
Last July, an oil pipeline leaked more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the river near Marshall, MI. The pipeline, which is owned by Enbridge Energy, has since been restarted and oil is again running.

LA JOYA – The La Joya Independent School District school board discussed retention and graduation of students on June 11. School board members were given numbers from a cohort group of freshmen students at each high school from 2008-2009 and what their status was as of May 31.
The question board members wanted answered was how to get the students to stay in school and see them walk across the stage accepting their diplomas.
Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Adriana Villarreal told the board they are identifying needs and target areas where more work needs to be done to keep these students in school and help them graduate.
Board members are worried about 599 students who may not graduate with their peers. There are 1,947 students in the cohort group. The other 1,348 students are on target to graduate.
Some 106 students need either a few credits or a passing TAKS score to graduate. Of those, 28 students completed the requirement to graduate. The district is working on getting the other students to graduate by having them attend summer school. Some of these students could also be enrolled at one of the accelerated campuses or the College and Career Center.
Superintendent Alda T. Benavides said if at least 60 of the students were able to graduate, the district would have an August graduation ceremony for those students.
"I am hoping this year we have an August graduation, because we have enough students to help walk across the stage," said Benavides.
Most of the students needing credits or to pass TAKS have returned for summer school classes.
Also included in the not-on-target students were 330 students who have moved out of the district, are being home schooled, are pursuing a GED, or have died. Those students have been accounted for so they do not negatively affect the district's enrollment numbers for federal and state aid.
The numbers of possible non-graduates affecting enrollment numbers negatively are 241 students, including the students that are pending a passing TAKS score or a few credits. Others included in those numbers are students who have transferred, incarcerated students and leavers.
There are 130 leavers, or drop outs, from the three high schools. District employees have either not been able to locate these students or the student refuses to come back to school.
Villarreal said counselors, administrators, social workers and others have been going out to homes and finding students to bring them back. Some of these students will come back and drop out more than once, said Villarreal, which makes their numbers larger and puts more stress on employees to get the students back in school.
Board members, Benavides and Villarreal agreed that priorities need to be established concerning which group of students to get back to school first. First priority for the district is to get all the students that only need a few credits to finish in summer school and graduate them by August 31. Getting seniors who only need TAKS to graduate, will be second priority. The third priority will be finding all of the drop outs.
Villarreal will update the board again in August.

Hey, we need to play for ost. I'm gmt+13 and available from 5pm-12am during the week but can be pretty flexible during the weekend. When are you available?
I am fine with that as long as you don't john me if you get the coin flip, but I am sure you wouldn't do that, do you go on #pokemon irc?
Friday would be the best. I'd prefer to play at night any time from like 6pm to whatever. Thursday is cool as well, same time as well.
Sounds good to me, I am not going to be home Saturday since I will be doing a vgc tournament but anytime before then works for me.
yo, we're paired up for ost. My timezone is gmt -5. I'm available on Monday to Wednesday past afternoon until like 4pm or so. I'll be available at night around 9pm my time or so.
Hey dude things have come up and I don't think I'll be able to play either of the days, is there a time over the weekend that works for you?
Hi. We're facing off for farm league this week. When do you want to do this? I'm GMT +5:30. Lemme know yours. I'd rather do it over the weekends thanks to my timezone and my workload.
Hello, how are you? I'm your oponent of this week's faming league, which day is better for you? For me would be good to battle after wednesday pretty much anytime, Im at GMT -3 btw, see ya.
i'll probably be ready on the deadline day, and will be on IRC from 16h to 1-2 AM my time (GMT+1), would that work for you?
Something came up and I am pretty badly hurt at the moment so today isn't the best for me, Monday may be better but if not I'll give the win.
hey bro we gotta battle for walkthrough tour, maybe we can battle on sunday or early next wk cuz i have finals right now
I would say now but I haven't made my team yet, if you can wait like 5/10 minutes we could meet on Ori server, my name is Dianciee on there.
well i'm fed up of posting in the thread so I just want to vm you to let you know rematch hasn't never given me a time, he's inactive for a lot of days in forums and then claims activity. you can easily check the vms i sent him. thank you
Since the deadline is tomorrow, we should try to play this evening if possible. How about around 8-9 PM GMT-4?
Thanks man, appreciated! What have you been up to lately, i feels like its been forever seen i last talked to you

Ordered the CE my self and looking forward to all of its extras and hope non-ce owners down the road will not get access to the store. After all its all visual stuff so its not game breaking in any way.
I haven't even pre-ordered yet although I'll probably buy the standard digital before the game launches. I'm really surprised they didn't offer an Alliance... errr... I mean Republic version of the CE. They probably could have sold a lot more if they had. I hope both factions have equally good writing and this isn't a sign of them playing favorites with the Empire.
I would just say that it would probably cause issues if they came out with two different collectors editions. Getting the wrong one, not having the one you want anymore in stock. That is what I would say the reasoning behind it would be. Who knows, I also hope they do not favor one side. It would make the story far less interesting.
I only pre-ordered the DDE. I couldn't stand to dish out the extra $60+ for what the CE offered. I'd really only be interested in the store, anyways.
I got the CE. It was a lot, and I'm having some buyers remorse even before the game is out, but I always regretted not having it for WoW, and the extras from the SW:ToR CE are much better than any from WoW or it's expansions.
CE for me a bit expensive but I never bought any wow CE so ... !
I'm exactly the same, got the CE's for TBC, Wrath and Cata, it REALLY bugs me that I didn't get the Vanilla CE so as soon as I could BAMN, Swtor CE, and I'll be gettin all the CE's for the expacs as they come out :P
interesting note, MoP will be the first WoW expac I don't get in CE, I just hope there's nothing too awesome in it
also I kinda wish there was a mousemat in the Swtor CE... would have liked to replace my Current one... the Cata CE one
Reading the A song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy, then someone comes up out of nowhere and shoots the puppy, then punches you in the face
I don't really care about the CE no. 90 bucks for some crap I'll never look at and some flavor stuff meh. 90 bucks is like 4-5 hrs of overtime for me so not worth it.
Don't get me wrong I understand some peoples reservations over the price but this was announced in July I pre-ordered the CE for a various reasons even though I thought it was a little on the expensive side as I knew I had time on my side. most predictions where end of year (Nov/Dec) so from the preorder day I've put £5/£10 a week in the box and now have the full £120 waiting from 20th Dec it was never bank breaking for me just cost me a couple pints per week.
My point is if you really wanted the CE shop and any of the items included it wasn't difficult to save the cost up.
Lightning. It flashes bright, then... fades away. It can't protect. It only destroys

ABCs of Car Tech: Talk like a tuner
If you've ever tried to join a conversation on an enthusiasts' forum about modifying your car for better performance, it may have seemed to you that everyone was speaking a foreign, abbreviation-based language.
What's the difference between NA and FI? I/H/E? What's that? Should you just add more NOS? If so, do I pour it straight into my FMIC? Some of you may already know the answers to these questions, but many are probably staring blankly at these seemingly random groupings of letters.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Critics called on legislators Tuesday to repeal or modify a law, scheduled to take effect on July 1, that would cut funding to county school systems if the county's property tax assessments are too low.
"We ... call it the "punish-the-assessor, punish-the-school-board bill," Patti Hamilton, executive director of the West Virginia Association of Counties, said of the new law. "A school board would be punished for actions of an assessor over which they have no control."
Under the law, county boards of education will receive an 8 percent cut in state funding under the state School Aid Formula any time the county's property tax assessments fall below 54 percent of fair market value.
J.P. Mowery, business manager for Pendleton County Schools, called the law troubling, since school boards have no oversight over the actions of county assessors.
"From a school board's perspective, we can't control the valuations of property," Mowery told an interim Committee on Finance. "School boards could be penalized for something we have no control over."
Jerry Knight, a property tax consultant, said the law is flawed because it treats a statistical figure as a literal number.
He said that, even at the highest confidence level, a median assessed value can have a 10 percent variance from the actual value, meaning a county could be penalized for falling below 54 percent when the actual figure could be as high as 58 percent.
Under state law, property is to be assessed at 60 percent of fair market value for tax purposes.
Knight agreed that the law is unfair because it punishes school systems for errors or omissions made by county assessors.

Although no action was taken, the Cedaredge board of trustees learned a great deal about water during its Feb. 16 meeting. Representatives from the Butte Ditch and Fogg Ditch companies explained the ditch companies "Application for change of water right."
Those present were Andy Wick, representing the Butte Ditch Company, Jeff Hinkley for Fogg Ditch Company, Jeff Widener, a ditch rider for both the Fogg and Alfalfa Ditch companies, and overseer of Fruitgrowers Reservoir, Jeff Boyd, a retired water commissioner, James Holiman and Doug Wist, District 40 Water Commissioners, and Gregg Scott, a government ditch rider in the Surface Creek.
The application is for an alternate point of diversion to run decreed water shares from the headgate of the Alfalfa Ditch, through the Alfalfa Ditch to Fruitgrowers Reservoir. According to the application, the requested diversion via the Alfalfa Ditch has taken place "informally for years."
According to Wick, those decrees are flow-through decrees, not storage decrees, and as such can only be stored in Fruitgrowers Reservoir for three days.
A letter from the two ditch companies to the Alfalfa Ditch Company states, "In the past, the Alfalfa Ditch Company gave the Butte and Fogg Companies verbal consent to use the Alfalfa Ditch in order to run their decreed water decrees through the Fruitgrowers Reservoir. We are presently and have in the past moved these decrees to the Alfalfa Ditch. This arrangement has worked well for our companies."
According to Boyd this arrangement has been in place for 22 years, with no fundamental changes. It was noted that there would be two more ditch companies to insure maintenance to the ditch.
It was also noted that some private properties within the Deer Creek Subdivision, bordering the Alfalfa Ditch, are encroaching on the right-of-way easements for the operation and maintenance of the Alfalfa Ditch.
The letter also states that the ditch companies, "will not run water in the Alfalfa Ditch if there is not enough capacity (86 cfs total) in the Alfalfa Ditch." The letter also guarantees that:
• Property damage to the Alfalfa Ditch or harm to the Alfalfa Ditch Company caused by the extra water from the Butte and Fogg companies' decrees will be covered by the Butte and Fogg Companies;
• The contract between the Orchard City Irrigation District and the Alfalfa Ditch regarding maintenance of the Alfalfa Ditch will continue as in the past;
• All Butte and Fogg decreed water that runs through the Alfalfa Ditch will be documented by the Division of Water Resources;
• The amount of added water to the Alfalfa Ditch from the Butte and Fogg decrees will not exceed 40 cfs; and
• The Alfalfa Ditch priorities will be used first.
The letter concludes, "The Butte and Fogg company boards would like to pursue getting approval for an alternate point of diversion to the Alfalfa Ditch through the water courts so that there will never be any confusion over obligations and water rights, but only if the Alfalfa Ditch Board is in agreement."
Boyd said the letter would be included as an attachment to the application.
Mayor Pat Means noted that the town has concerns regarding access to the headgate and liability issues to property owned by the Town of Cedaredge and to private and public properties adjacent to the Alfalfa Ditch.
Wick noted that the addition water flows created by the diversion will not increase the high water level in the Alfalfa Ditch, and will not take place during high run-off.
In a memo to the trustees, town administrator Kathleen Sickles stated, "although the application appears to be a formal process to approve an informal practice, my concern is regarding maintenance easements and necessary maintenance regarding the impact of 39.67 c.f.s. over time, to the improved private and public property adjacent to the Alfalfa Ditch, the consequences of high run off and liability to town structures intersecting the Alfalfa Ditch."
The town has until the last day of February to file a "Statement of Opposition" with the Water Clerk's Office, in Montrose. Although the "Application for change of water right" by the ditch companies was scheduled for action by the trustees, none was taken pending legal advice from the town's attorney, Steven Harper.
