The cabin itself is beautiful and so comfortable. Everything was perfect inside and outside of it. However the roads leading to the cabin are not great. I think all the roads in the area are the same. Make sure you have a vehicle that can get in and out of there if you go when it is cold and icy. Overall, I would stay again!

We arrived at the cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN to a beautiful view and a place that was a home away from home. We were so pleased with the cabin which was such a cozy place in a great location. We will definitely stay again.

My grandaughter and I recently stayed at this wonderful cabin. It was totally in the woods, but not difficult to get to all the action. The hot tub, which was located out on the screened in porch, was marvelous. There was a large jacuzzi tub in the loft upstairs and it was a wonderful way to relax after a day running around. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. My grandaughter enjoyed the WiFi and I enjoyed going out on the porch every morning with my cup of coffee and just etaking in the sights and sounds of nature. This lovely cabin provided a place to make a wonderful, lasting memory with my grandaughter. I highly recommend this experience to everyone!

Walking the streets of Athens, one encounters many different graffiti styles: from badly written declarations of everlasting devotion to a sports team or political leaning, to sworn love confessions and small stencils. Sadly, it seems that everyone qualifies as a graffiti "artist", given that they have enough money to buy a marker or spray paint. Few emerge from this scene displaying a distinctive style and adorning athenian walls with something that truly makes our city more beautiful. One of the exceptions is Dreyk the Pirate. [Read more…]

Mosstika: Street Art Greens the Urban Jungle
When we think of street art we often think of dry concrete, spray paint cans and urban wastelands… but that's not what you'll find here. These creations have a drastically more "green" theme, striving to bring a bit of unexpected nature to the so-called urban jungle and in doing so a bit more life to its often weary inhabitants. The creations of gorilla street art collective Mosstika, each piece of art brings some literal green to the world, installing pieces of art with living grass and moss around the city. [Read more…]

We Love Friday! – Graffiti Around the World
Happy Friday folks! Famous street artist Banksy once said, "Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile while they're having a piss." Unless you live in a perfect suburban bubble and never leave, you're bound to have seen some graffiti that has made you chuckle. It gives cities character and brightens up dark streets, so this week we wanted to showcase some of the best graffiti captures on Instagram. [Read more…]
A Hotel Room With A Split Personality
The Marseille France based hotel Au Vieux Panier has rooms that will either put you to sleep in aesthetic comfort or keep you wide awake with fascination. Each room features the designs and artwork of an artist, graphic designer or painter from around the globe, bringing their unique style to the blank canvas of a hotel room. The latest completed room is not their most relaxing addition: it's very fittingly called "Panic Room." [Read more…]
Brazilian Suburb Gets Perspective Typography Murals
Madrid Spain based artist collective Boa Mistura recently gave a small corner of Brazil one very colorful and meaningful typographic makeover. Working with the inhabitants, including the children of Brasilândia Vila, a poor suburb on the outskirts of São Paulo, the team took the narrow streets and covered them with vibrent, colorful paint, leaving only the beautiful words beleza, amor, doçura, firmeza and orgulho (beauty, love, sweetness, firmness and pride) painted on the walls. The bold white typography is drawn in perspective down the narrow corridors, revealing itself to passerby for only a moment as they walk past the one location where the lines merge into the form of words.

The Eclectic Art of Barry McGee is Back!
The Bay Area is the place to be in late August for Barry McGee's 2012 exhibit. If you haven't heard of Barry McGee and you are interested in urban art you definitely want to look him up.

Bucket List: 100 Things to Do in Phoenix Before You Die
By Robrt L. Pela and Amy Silverman
God bless the souls of Don Cenobio Sauza and José María Guadalupe Cuervo. Why? Because they're the crafty cats who first imported the spirituous concoction known as Tequila to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1870s. Thus, they gave our country one of its favorite mind-erasers. So be sure to raise a shot during Cinco de Mayo weekend in honor of these dearly departed distillers. After all, you'll likely be sucking down a snifter (or four) of their namesake brands next weekend, as well as countless Coronas, plenty of Pacifico, and myriad other Mexican brews. Given that you'll wanna be a bargain-minded borracho, we've assembled some comprehensive listings of the cheapest drinks — as well as some fairly fearsome fiestas — in and around the PHX from Friday, May 1, to Tuesday, May 5. You can get your drink on, partake in some Hispanic cultura and comestibles, but not peso much. Just remember to call a cab, cabrón, unless you want to pull a siesta in Tent City.

Ridgewood Filmmaker Caytha Jentis's film, Bad Parents, is a satirical comedy inspired by her own experiences in North Jersey about the over-zealous parents on an under 8 girls club soccer team. It takes a poke at the world of over-obsessed parents in soccer, though the theme is so Universal that any parent of a child athlete may realize "I'm That Parent!" Bad Parents has been premiering throughout the country and is coming home to the Ridgewood Clearview Warner Quad, 190 East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood, NJ for (4) 7:30 pm showings tonight, January 23rd, 24th, 30th and 31st.

The public is invited to the free Red Carpet Event on opening night, but a ticket will be needed to see the movie. Sponsoring the Red Carpet for Opening Night is Moxie Salon, 57 East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood. Tickets can be purchased with cash at the theater box office from now until the the showings.

After each evening screening in Ridgewood ticket holders are invited to Park West Tavern, 30 Oak Street in Ridgewood for a meet and greet with discounts on beverages.
In addition to a well-known cast, the film was shot entirely in North Jersey and features actors and soccer players from area. Lauren Sudol, age 7 of Ridgewood, stars as the daughter. The movie also features many local soccer players from Bergen and Passaic Counties. Residents of North Jersey will recognize many of the locations in the film.
The movie features a well-known cast. Janeane Garofalo (Truth About Cats & Dogs, SNL) stars as the the suburban every-mom who signs her seven-year-old daughter up for club soccer. Christopher Titus (Titus, Comedy Central) plays Coach Nick, who helms this young 'dream team' and is worshiped by all. Cheri Oteri (SNL), plays the perky, former cheerleader, know-it-all mom. Her fr-enemy "mean mom" Allison is played by Rebecca Budig (All My Children). Michael Boatman (Spin City, Arliss) plays Gary the Assistant Coach, a perpetual outsider longing for his moment of acceptance from everyone including his ever-disapproving wife, Tracy, played by Kristen Johnston (Bride Wars, 3rd Rock From the Sun) Reiko Ayleworth (24, Hawaii 5-0) plays Laurie the social climbing divorcee. Bill Sage (American Psycho, Boardwalk Empire) plays Dan, the college scholarship obsessed husband. Ben Bailey (Cash Cab) plays soccer parent Graham.

No Accountability for State Speed Camera Contractor at SHA
Another negative legislative audit of the Maryland State Highway Administration found that the agency failed to ensure proper benchmarks were set for the state's speed camera program for highway work zones, the wining speed camera contractor's bid did not comply with certain request for proposal requirements, and tests of the speed camera monitoring system's accuracy were not as comprehensive as SHA intended.
The audit also revealed additional serious problems at SHA. The agency failed to properly calculate the maximum value of architectural and engineering contracts submitted for approval by the Board of Public Works, used contract fund balances to pay for work outside the scope of those contracts without BPW approval, extended contracts without BPW approval, and a SHA management employee managed a $5 million consulting contract with a firm where his spouse was a senior executive.
This is another damning audit for an already beleaguered agency, part of the Maryland Department of Transportation. Earlier this month the Office of Legislative Audits released a report detailing how the MDOT Secretary's office skirted state procurement laws.
According to the audit the speed camera pilot program called for benchmarks to evaluate contractor performance, however no benchmarks were established, such as the reliability and readability of photographed violations. Between October 2009 and June 2010 the system recorded 133, 620 violations, yet only 44 percent of those were issued citations because SHA deemed them unreadable.
SHA awarded the operator of the pilot system the contract for the full Maryland SafeZone Program. The pilot contractor was the only bidder in the RFP process. However, the contractor's proposal was not in compliance with the RFP requirements. Specifically the audit cited:
At the time of the contract award and as of April 2012, the specific speed detection equipment (scanning LIDAR, a laser system) listed in the contractor's proposal, and ultimately used, was not reported by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) as conforming to its guidelines, as required by the RFP. The contract required that all equipment conform with IACP's speed detection equipment standards to provide assurance of its calibration and functionality. We were advised by a member of the IACP, who was also a SHA consultant, that the scanning laser technology used was new and that IACP had not yet developed performance standards by which the system could be judged.
The October 26, 2009 RFP required that the proposed equipment record a legible image of the violating vehicle's rear license plate 95 percent of the time, regardless of the time of day, environmental conditions, or vehicle positioning. However, in May 2010, during the bid evaluation process, this measure was changed to 90 percent, and we were advised by SHA management personnel that this was the result of the contractor asserting that it was unable to meet the 95 percent legibility measure.
Prior to awarding the contract, SHA used a consulting firm to conduct a system accuracy test of the contractor's proposed equipment in an active highway work zone. However, the consulting firm deviated from SHA's testing instructions and therefore, the basis for the conclusion that the equipment met performance requirements is questionable. For example, SHA directed the consulting firm to have test vehicles perform 40 test runs in which the contractor's speed measuring equipment would be compared to two independent radars, one which was inside and one which was outside the vehicle. However, the consulting firm only conducted 18 test runs and only reported the results of 8 of those runs. Moreover, five of those eight reported runs were made using vehicles lacking independent interior radar, so the results could only be measured against one independent radar, rather than two as planned. Nevertheless, the consulting firm stated that the observed results fell within acceptable standards, and SHA's technical evaluation team gave an overall "good" ranking of the contractor for the applicable bid evaluation attribute. SHA could not provide a reasonable explanation or documentation regarding why the tests were considered sufficient.
The report also found that the speed camera monitoring system did not undergo an independent calibration test as required by law, until nine months after the system began operations.

The report, which was based on Schweizer's New York Times bestselling book--Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets--sparked the resignation of Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) when Kroft and Schweizer revealed how Andrews used $16,575 from his leadership PAC to fly himself and his family to a luxury resort in Edinburgh, Scotland. "Andrews's leadership PAC even picked up the tab for the wedding gift... china, from Bloomingdale's," writes Schweizer in Extortion. "It was quite the trip. The family tapped Andrews's campaign committee for 'petty cash' for Scotland in the form of two checks for at least $2,500. They stayed in two rooms in the luxury five-star Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh. Campaign contributors also picked up the tab for dinners, the in-room bar, and other expenses." When Kroft confronted Andrews about the lavish expenditure, Andrews said, "I think we should take a look at having clearer rules at what they can and cannot be spent for. I'd be for that." Andrews claimed he was unable to talk about the issue because it was the subject of a House Ethics investigation. Kroft, however, said he spoke with the committee, and they said they had no problem with Andrews speaking about the issue. Andrews announced in early February that he would resign from Congress.

About owner
My husband and his brother have wonderful childhood memories of spending their summers on a lake with family. We wanted to create similar memories for our children. Already, our young children tell us - 'Camp Kidura is the best place in the whole wide world!'. They look forward to our visits with great enthusiasm. We enjoy the peaceful setting with lots of outdoor activities. It's great for our family - and we invite you to create your own family memories here too.
owner purchased this house in 2004
Why owner chose Saranac Lake
We selected the Adirondacks and specifically Upper Saranac Lake because it is a beautiful lake that is large enough to sail, paddle or motor boat - but not crowded or overdeveloped like many other lakes its size. The Adirondacks is a huge park with much to offer. Our location provides a nice mix of activities and scenery without being too remote (grocery store and restaurants are a short drive away).

We enjoyed the views, the hikes, the surroundings, The Wild Center. The kitchen was easy to use. The rooms were comfortable and beautiful. Nicely decorated. We look forward to coming again other times in the year as well.

As a longtime resident of La Honda, I have come to view anything with two wheels as a hazard on the roads here, and it's been getting worse with each passing summer. Almost everyone out here has a story to tell, and many people have been impacted directly by irresponsible drivers and riders. It bothers me that I worry about my mom and sister driving to and from church in PV on any given Sunday, because of maniac motorcycle riders passing on blind corners, risking a head-on for a cheap thrill. It would be nice if they would donate to our volunteer fire department, since they'll be the ones scraping these guys off the road later on this year. Hwy 84 is a beautiful drive, let's all enjoy it without compromising each others safety. Drive/ride safe and be courteous on the road!

Investing funds for the future – What is the responsibility of nonprofit boards?
Three years ago, a nonprofit we know and love received a generous, six-figure gift to its endowment fund. This created a happy dilemma for the board of directors: what to do with all that money? But everyone was still rattled from the recession, and the market remained volatile. Patting themselves on the back for managing risk, the board deposited 100 percent of the funds into short-term CDs. The thinking was, "We'll wait to invest this money until the market begins to turn around."
Well, the market did turn around. So what did the board do? Nothing. No loss, it's true, but also no gain or improvement in the organization's position. The failure to act is still an act: it's a decision that has consequences. Perhaps more importantly, it has opportunity costs.
Managing a permanently invested fund, or endowment, always pushes the question of risk tolerance. At every extreme, the issue is easy – neither the shoe box nor the lottery ticket is appropriate.
All nonprofit boards hold fiduciary responsibility for the organizations they lead. That entails a lot of things, including the ability to assess and manage risk. There are many tools available to help, including financial policies and procedures and financial plans that include an honest analysis of time horizons and current and future uses of funds.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Smart nonprofit leaders think about managing their finances just as strategically as they think about managing their staff, systems, and office space. You can make your financial assets work for your organization.
- Investing is a long-term business decision. The choices you make today are critical to the sustainability of your organization over time. Successful groups develop a team comprising employees, board members, and trusted financial professionals to make investment decisions on behalf of the organization.
- Groups need to be deliberate about adding people to the board who know something about assessing and managing risk, and investing.
- It helps to have an up-front conversation about your appetite for risk and your short- and long-term investment goals, so that your investment strategy fits your organizational culture.
The bottom line? When it comes to managing their financial resources, nonprofits have to strike a balance between being too cautious and too aggressive. The payoff is that smart investing has the potential to make scarce resources go a heck of a lot further.

Singin' Sagebrush Sister
Consultants get up in front of groups all the time, but we don't often stand behind a microphone with a guitar in hand — wearing our fanciest cowboy boots and party dress — open our mouths, and yodel.
This consultant who moonlights as a Texas swing guitar player hasn't had quite so much fun in a long time.
On Saturday night, April 5, the Sagebrush Sisters took the stage at The Vue in downtown Corvallis, Oregon. We entertained a couple hundred (ish) friends and supporters of four fantastic mid-Valley conservation nonprofits at Roots to Rivers, a new joint fundraising event. Sharing the benefit of the event were:
- Calapooia Watershed Council, a community organization working to promote and sustain the health of the Calapooia Watershed in the southern Willamette Valley. A fun tidbit about this group is its location in Brownsville, Oregon, which is the setting for the fictional town of Castle Rock in the film Stand by Me.
- Greenbelt Land Trust, a local land conservation nonprofit focused on protecting ecologically, agriculturally, and historically significant lands in the mid-Willamette Valley.
- Marys River Watershed Council, cultivating strong neighborhood ownership of the watershed's health and voluntary land stewardship and restoration from Marys Peak to the Willamette River, from forests to farms, prairies to ponds, and backyards to school yards.
- Ten Rivers Food Web, working to ensure that the Ten Rivers food shed will be robust in the face of ecological and economic pressures. This means that at least 30% of the food consumed in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties will be locally grown, processed, and distributed.
The two watershed councils and the land trust are all Solid Ground clients. We're so proud of their amazing work and happy to partner with them as they succeed and grow. Thanks to all the wonderful people who came out to support the difference these groups are making in the Willamette Valley!

Leadership: Throw out the hierarchy and look within
Who are the leaders within your organization? Are they so named simply because they "manage" people, or do they have other qualities that have nothing to do with title and rank? More importantly, can leadership be learned?
It sure can.
My colleague Jim Morris and I see this all the time in the leadership institutes we facilitate for clients like the City of Portland. Like many organizations today, the City understands that formal authority is not the only model of leadership. People at all levels are leading task forces, advisory groups, or multi-bureau work groups whose members may be located in different places and where formal line authority is diffuse, distributed, or absent altogether. What we've found is that leadership is the ability to influence others and affect change – regardless of one's position on the organizational chart.
The Institute is modeled on the research of James Kouzes and Barry Posner, who found that effective leaders across the globe employ very similar practices—all of which can be taught and learned. They are:
- Inspire a shared vision. From shared goals to a shared vision, effective leaders are able to help others see the end point – what everyone is working together to build.
- Model the way. Effective leaders walk their talk, even when the going is tough. They earn trust because they consistently demonstrate their values and principles.
- Challenge the process. Leaders are bold. They ask tough questions and aren't afraid to point out the "elephant in the room."
- Enable others to act. Rather than go it alone, leaders invite participation and encourage others to develop new skills and knowledge.
- Encourage the heart. Perhaps most importantly, leaders understand that leadership is all about relationships. So they work on a personal level, recognizing others for their contributions.
The Institute is a bonding experience for participants. One recent cohort had sweatshirts made that displayed their group's name – High Impact Leadership Team (HILT) – next to the hilt of a sword. But its primary impact may be in how it shifts people's self-perception. One emerging leader who had been puzzled by her nomination to the Institute had this to say about her experience:
"Now I see that what I've been doing is a form of leadership. I have the power to help others be more effective as we work together. It [the Institute] was an awesome experience to work with everyone and see how differently we approach our leadership possibilities."
Jim and I learn more about leadership with each Institute we lead. Each one confirms our belief that leadership is a form of performance art, and the instrument is self.

Four steps to becoming a strategic storyteller
Our lives are full of stories, from those we tell our friends and hear from co-workers to those we consume all day across the media we can't live without.
Research tells us humans are hard-wired to be storytellers. It's our default method for giving meaning to the otherwise random events of life. And hearing stories is one way we simulate situations and learn before actually experiencing them. Similarly, stories invite others to participate and emotionally engage with the messages or morals they convey.
This more recent understanding of the dominant role stories play in human interactions is why so many communications advisers are urging organizations to embrace storytelling in their marketing, outreach, and fundraising.
From where I sit, this is sound advice. But it begs the question: Out of the dozens of stories potentially at our disposal, how do we decide which ones to develop and share? In other words, how can we be strategic about the stories we tell, rather than simply grasping for any good-sounding tale that comes along?
Here are four suggestions:
1. To be a strategic storyteller, be a strategic organization.
Many organizations fail to pause from the daily grind to take a long look at their mission, identity, goals, and measurable impact. Want to decide which stories to tell? Start by making sure your strategic plan is up to date. The first step in strategic storytelling is knowing where your organization is headed and why, and whose support you'll need to reach your destination. The stories you choose should be those that move you closer to your most important goals by moving others to lend their support. And remember, during the planning process, stories are bound to surface. Don't lose them.
2. It's not about you.
That's another way of saying, choose stories about "them" — constituents, donors, volunteers, partners. One of the ways people decide what to do in a given situation is to ask what would individuals "like me" do? Research tells us we are not purely self-interested actors. We often want to know not just what's in it for me, but what's in it for my group. (See the terrific book, "Made to Stick," by Chip Heath and Dan Heath.) Select and tell stories that feature members of the groups you want to engage. Help your audience connect to what their peers believe or do relative to your organization.
3. It's all about you.
That's right, it's not about you, except when it is! That means knowing "who" you are as an organization — your identity or brand. What makes you distinct among organizations similar to you and what makes you relevant to the people who matter to your success? Strategic storytelling means selecting stories that are consistent with who you are and how you want others to experience your organization. What do you stand for or promise to your stakeholders? Be clear about this, deliver on your promise, and tell the stories of people who've benefited from their experience of you.
4. Be real.
No organization is perfect. Making mistakes comes with the territory. More important is how you have responded to your mistakes. What are the stories that don't have happy endings in your organization? Don't be afraid to tell them from time to time. It will build trust and help others learn from your mistakes. And who knows how many happy endings will follow from there?

Sharing the Love
"Donor"? "Member"? How about "BFF"?
Many nonprofits struggle with how to describe their supporters: Members? Donors? Something else? In the strictest sense, "members" can only be part of a "membership" organization, which is defined by that group's bylaws. And as they say on those AmEx commercials, "Membership has its privileges." In other words, if someone is going to commmit to becoming a "member," they have the right to expect benefits, like a members-only web page, a members-only event or newsletter, the right to vote for the board. That sort of thing.
But that's just the legal and official definition of "member" and the meaning of "membership" as applied to organizations. The real world has at least fifty shades of nuance, particularly when it comes to fundraising. So when you're trying to think expensively, why not think expansively? The idea of "membership" gives many donors a greater sense of connection to and ownership of a nonprofit organization, in a way that "donor" or "supporter" does not. "I'm a member" means "I belong," "I'm part of the Cool Kids Club," and "I own this." Those are important sentiments to nurture – particularly because deeper connection increases the likelihood of deeper financial support.
But there's a hitch: some groups have noticed that fewer people these days seem to be motivated by "paying dues." The renewal letter that says "it's time to renew your dues" may be very, um, yesterday. So what's today's version?
If a fundraising program is aimed at connecting as many people as possible to your work, and building community ownership in your success, then words that create connection are important. Some organizations are concluding that anyone who gives any amount of money (even a business that donates a boat trip to the silent auction) will be a considered a "member." Some types of members – major donors, for example – require extra effort beyond the methods used to bring in and renew other members.
Box of chocolates, anyone?

Guidebook helps land trusts navigate problem easements
Like many other land trusts, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation (NJCF) has its share of problem easements. One of six land trusts that participated in the Easement Revitalization Initiative, NJCF allowed Solid Ground's national conservation team to rummage around through the details of several troubled easements that the organization held, in order to better understand the issues and possible solutions.
Sponsored by Open Space Institute (OSI), the Easement Revitalization Initiative brought together legal analysis and practical perspectives from land trust practitioners to understand the types of easement problems that groups encounter, and potential ways to resolve or manage them. The fourteen-month process resulted in the Easement Revitalization Guidebook, which provides a pathway for land trusts to work through problem easements.
The Guidebook provides a way for groups to categorize troubled easements. For example, is the problem vague or conflicting language? Is it missing documentation in the file? Is it compromised conservation value? The nature of the problem suggests different solutions.
NJCF executive director Michele Byers admits that the process can be overwhelming. But, she says, it's also clarifying: "After going through the easement revitalization process, we realized that extinguishment is off the table. Even if it looks like common sense it would have such a large negative impact to the state."
The bottom line, according to Michele, is that she's "relieved that we were not the only ones without answers to everything about our problem easements. We know we can be creative with solutions."
Indeed! The Guidebook encourages land trusts to align clear, disciplined conservation with creative, engaging landowner relationships to make problems easements better – and the conservation community just a little bit stronger.

Lowcountry: Vision without Hallucination
There is a difference between vision and hallucination.
Many groups talk about vision and consider what they'd like to influence in the future. But few groups really make their vision the centerpiece of their work today.
Authentic Conversations
Perhaps you need to meet one of our favorite clients: the Lowcountry Open Land Trust. This group has been working to protect the beauty of the Lowcountry of South Carolina for several decades. And Solid Ground worked with them over the last year as the group took that commitment to a new level.
As part of their strategic planning process, the group engaged community members in an authentic conversation about what they want to see for their Lowcountry home. To do this, the land trust:
- Held listening sessions with key supporters and community leaders to get their suggestions.
- Hosted a dedicated Business Leader Breakfast to specifically engage those focused on key business and economic development issues.
- Converted their annual meeting from a passive program to an active conversation, with more than 100 supporters describing what they want for the future of their community.
- Invited the community to an open forum at the local library that attracted more than 120 community members who care about the special places of the region but who had not yet had a voice in what should happen. The meeting was distinctive because it brought in a mix of ages and interests, and wasn't limited to hearing from or speaking to "the choir."
Hearing Voices
In addition, the land trust sat down with people throughout the community to hear the voices that care about the places the trust is working to protect. A wide variety of caring people – old and young, school children and farmers and business leaders and parents – all shared their vision of the Lowcountry. On tape.
The results of this investment, made over most of a year, are extraordinary. The land trust invested in capturing this vision in both a brochure and a video called the "Soul of the Lowcountry". These results are wonderful examples of taking an idea and making the most of it.
The land trust used this information to shape their strategic plan, and now have a plan that is both aspirational and realistic. It conveys what the community wants and what the land trust believes it can do. This is planning at its finest.
Lessons Learned
Some of the great lessons that emerged from this project:
- Make your engagement authentic. If you want people's opinion, ask them. And then listen. Don't spend most of your time talking to them.
- Use the conversations you already have to make the most of them. Annual meetings are notoriously boring. Think about what else you're already doing that can become opportunities to listen. If we take the time to engage those who show up – whenever or wherever that may be – everybody gets more out of it. Our supporters deserve to have input and to be heard. And our organizations are the richer for it.
- Reach beyond your base. Every group needs to prove their relevance to the broader community. Take the time to reach out to those who could care if you engage them in a true exchange of ideas and opinions. Don't be afraid to hear difficult things. Clearer levels of disagreement may appear – and so will greater degrees of respect, even support.
Share your results. Hearing what people have to say is the first step. Sharing what you've heard is the next. People want to know that you've heard what they've said. They also want to know what others have said. And by the way, this can be extremely useful information to support your fundraising efforts.
New name, offices and website – oh my!
Decisions Decisions is now Solid Ground Consulting
Solid Ground Consulting has been the name we've long used for our national conservation team and land trust practice area. We've always received great response to it. As we started to rethink our firm's identity, it just felt right to call the whole of our business "Solid Ground." So we bid a warm farewell to our business name of many years, Decisions Decisions, and embrace our new identity: Solid Ground Consulting.
We've retooled, redesigned and reconfigured. With our new identity comes a deepened commitment to organizations that operate with a triple bottom line – people and profit and planet. And you may notice our new logo and website (yes, you're on it now!).
If that weren't enough, after Oct. 6, 2012 we'll be in new offices. We outgrew our old space, so you'll find us now on the Fourth Floor of the historic Weatherly Building at 516 SE Morrison, Portland, Ore. Stop by and check out our great downtown views. And yes, Shayna, the Office Dog, will still be there to greet you. Some things you just don't change.
Solid Ground team active at Rally 2012
Big topics: easement revitalization and mergers
Solid Ground team members are presenting several interactive sessions at Rally 2012, the National Land Conservation Conference in Salt Lake City Sept. 29-Oct. 2. Attendees will learn the latest on how to deal with problem easements during our 90-minute workshop, "Why Wait for a Problem to Show Up? Easement Revitalization 101." We go deeper into the issues during our half-day seminar on the Easement Revitalization Initiative. And we'll be providing resources on collaborations and mergers in the session, "The M-word: Merger."
Conference goers will also find us hanging at Table 19 in the Exhibitor Hall or wandering around with a banjo looking for a jam session. (Well, one of us will have a banjo.)

Wells Auto Sales of Warrenton, VA specializes in providing late model, low mileage, custom lifted Jeep Wranglers of exceptional quality, each hand selected by Mike Wells himself. We custom build every one of our automobiles in house with all brand new components offering a limited warranty. We ship to all 50 states. We offer bank financing and an extended warranty package. We offer personalize service with non - commissioned sales staff, so you won't find any high pressure sales tactics here. Our inventory is aggressively priced on each automobile, so the need for negotiating is eliminated. Every one of our automobiles has a clean CARFAX history report offered to you at no additional charge. The majority of our inventory is under the original manufacturer's warranty to give you peace of mind.
A very special thank you to Mike and his Staff at Wells Auto Sales. We had been casually looking at jeeps online when we came across the Wells Autos website. Although we were not actually in the market to purchase a jeep at the time, we knew if we ever purchased one it would have to be a Copperhead Unlimited Rubicon. Sure enough, Mike had the exact one we wanted sitting right there on his showroom floor. For about 3 weeks I had contacted Mike regarding this particular jeep. I would even send him emails at 11PM not expecting to hear from until the following morning, but sure enough I would have a response within 15 minutes in my inbox. It was my first time purchasing a vehicle outside the state or Maryland and Mike knew that. He made sure I did not feel any pressure what so ever and walked me through every step of the process. This was HANDS DOWN the most pleasant auto purchasing experience I have ever been through! Mike and his staff are amazing, their attention to every single detail throughout the process as well as after the sale is incredible. I am extremely happy I decided to buy from Wells Autos. Mike and his staff truly care about their customers. If you are in the market for a jeep, I would strongly recommend Wells Auto Sales. It will be the first and only stop you have to make. You will not be disappointed!!!
Thank you again Mike for your personal attention and going the extra mile to make sure my family was/is extremely satisfied.

March 21: Four days later, Sheldon S. Shafter writes about the potential closing in "CVS looking at new Bardstown Road store" in the Courier-Journal (that's the newspaper you used to get). He does not mention Louisville.com's story, much less link to it. The story does, however, include links to search engine results for Kroger and virtual meeting software.
