Museum of Life and Science
There is no better kid-friendly location in Durham than the acclaimed Museum of Life and Science. It's an interactive science park where you and your kids can enjoy hands-on scientific discovery, sit inside a space capsule, paint with water, walk through a landscape of mist, see rescued black bears, and wonder at the "total immersion" of the 35 foot tall Magic Wings Butterfly House. There's even a Dinosaur Trail! They have camps, classes and clubs year round. The experience of the Museum of Life and Science is one that can be enjoyed everyday except Mondays (when the museum is closed).
Durham Parks and Recreation
Durham has a wonderful variety of activities in its more than 60 parks and recreation centers. Toddler playgrounds, big-kid climbing structures, trails, sports fields, pools, and even dog parks are available.
Chapel Hill has several nice parks as well, and Jordan Lake State Recreation Area has boat ramps, beaches, and bald eagle sightings. Your kids will also love Pullen Park in Raleigh, with its old-fashioned carousel, kiddie and pedal boats, and a miniature train they can ride on.
Sarah P. Duke Gardens
Kids love the Duke Gardens. Its paths wind through landscaped gardens and wooded areas, with grottos, arched bridges, stone benches, gazebos, and pavilions. The duck and geese pond is a favorite with young visitors. Duke Gardens also has a café, visitor center, and gift shop. And there is the "bowl," a large sloping lawn perfect for picnics, outdoor games, and just enjoying the sunshine. Duke Gardens is open year round and is free!
West Point on the Eno
West Point on the Eno is the convergence of nature and history in Durham. Restored mill buildings feature a water wheel and demonstrations of stone-grinding of corn meal and wheat flour. Acres of land are great for hiking and picnicking. And the Eno River is the place to dip your feet in, take a swim, or put in a canoe. There is even a small Museum of Photography. Don't miss the annual Festival for the Eno!
Durham Bulls
What would summer be without a baseball game? Durham is home base for the popular Durham Bulls, the AAA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. Besides the action of the game, the great food (and beer) selection and the friendly crowds, DBAP (Durham Bulls Athletic Park - not to be confused with its artsy neighbor DPAC) offers hilarious entertainment between innings, a bouncy castle, climbing wall, toddler play areas, gift shop, Friday Fireworks, Kids Run the Bases on Sundays, and at every game, the beloved mascot Wool E. Bull!
Duke Lemur Center
Do you know the one place that every lemur in a U.S. zoo has been? Durham, and the Duke Lemur Center. Home to the largest population of lemurs outside of Madagascar (their only true habitat), the Duke Lemur Center offers a range of tours including guided walks with the experts, training sessions with keepers or caretakers, and even observing as lemurs paint you a picture!
Durham County Libraries
Take a break from the outdoors and head into Durham's public libraries! In addition to the materials you can borrow, like books, CDs, DVD, audiobooks, and Ebooks, the libraries offer lots of great programming and events for kids. Visit the large Main Library Downtown or any of the branches located throughout Durham.

Arboretum & Gardens Celebration Luncheon
« Back
Join us for a celebration of AU's Arboretum & Gardens at a luncheon featuring actor and horticulturist Kirk Brown portraying renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
Mr. Olmsted defined and named the profession of landscape architecture in the United States. Credited with over five hundred commissions, he designed many of America's most treasured landscapes, including the U.S. Capitol grounds and New York's Central Park. He also created the first campus plan for American University.
While the campus looks very different from his original blueprint, we imagine Mr. Olmsted would be pleased to learn that we are reintroducing several of his ideas through AU's Arboretum & Gardens.
We hope you can join us for this unique presentation as actor and horticulturist Kirk Brown reflects on what Mr. Olmsted might say about the architect's legacy and his impressions of American University, love of Washington, DC, and philosophy on design and preservation. It promises to be an exceptionally entertaining afternoon.
Cost is $45 per person. Complimentary parking is available in the School of International Service parking garage on Nebraska Avenue.

Well-Oiled Machine or Well-Watered Garden?
In 2004 I was hired as executive director of Kensington Community Church. They had two campus locations, 55 full-time staff and 5,900 people in weekend attendance. They were effective. You don't grow a church to 5,900 people without being high-speed. However, one thing I immediately noticed was that they lacked efficiency.
Gardening Chaos
I saw a culture that was extremely organic. Having come from a military, business, and non-profit background, I quickly figured out that this environment was different from what I was used to. If this church was a garden (as some metaphors have it), it was very messy one, full of tall weeds, uneven rows of vegetables (some healthy, some rotten), underdeveloped soil, and a variety of rocks scattered about.
Meetings happened in the hallways when people were in a hurry. They rarely started or finished on time. When there were meetings, they were regularly interrupted or people wouldn't show up at all. Staff seemed to do what was "right in their own eyes." The administrators were in full-blown rebellion according to the lead pastor. When I asked for job descriptions, I was often met with bewilderment. There were limited processes to organize the work that needed to get done, reporting lines didn't make sense; (for example, the singles director reported to … the finance director), and HR policies were virtually non-existent. End-arounds were common as staff would get a senior leader to buy into their idea without consulting their department head first. The pain and frustration was high due to the lack of clear protocol.
Their organizational "garden" could have desperately used some posts and fencing to keep it all together. It needed to become more of a well-oiled machine and less of a messy overgrown garden. Their goal was (and still is) to reach 50,000 people over 12 area campuses by the year 2020. But order was needed to address the chaos.
The Machine Run Amok
On the flip-side, I visited a friend's church a few years back that was so organized it felt like a top-secret military base somewhere deep underground. They were also a large church. At times though, their efficiency got in the way of their effectiveness. Some of the leaders at this church would have equated efficiency with the will of God.
In this environment, human flourishing seemed impossible. It was sad. It was predictable. They took Paul's admonishment in 1 Corinthians 14:40 to the extreme, "But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."
In an overly oiled machine church, things are finely tuned. Each person is a cog in the wheel ; decisions are made at the top, and trickle down through a hierarchy. Stability is highly valued. There is little room for human error. Labor is clearly divided. Rules, regulations, policy, and detailed manuals rule the day. This is the world of paperwork and complicated "strategic" plans that collect dust. When I examined this church I saw flow charts everywhere, and people walking around the office like zombies. ...

The Tesbih Lamp may seem like a minimalist modern lamp save for the string of beads wrapped around its stand, but it has a religious undertone that will speak to many. The string of beads is inspired by rosaries, the first of which were found in India to count prayers. Moving from there to the Middle East and then Europe, it is not surprising that rosaries have since moved into other realms to inspire objects such as the Tesbih Lamp.
Designed by Istanbul-based Bora CAKILKAYA, the Tesbih Lamp is also influenced by the Janissary infantry units forming the Ottoman Sultan's household troops and bodyguards between 1363 and 1826. The lampshade represents their hat while the slim stand is their body.

It was certainly beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Cynthiana on Saturday. Snowflakes were falling and children wrapped in ribbons and foil rolled through town on the backs on trucks, wagons and atop horses. It was the annual Christmas parade! A large crowd braved the wintry weather to watch as Santa and Mrs. Claus greeting the season. Watch for the pictures in this week's Cynthiana Democrat as well as future slide shows on the website.
Four people were killed in a tragic fire in Berry over the weekend. While positive identifications have not been made, it is believed the four people who perished in the fire are Nikki Pike and two of her four children, Cameron and Nicholas, and Pike's cousin, Charles Tucker. The two children were each one of a set of twins. The surviving children were spending the night with a relative.
Have you checked out the Cynthiana Democrat's new website? A few weeks ago, it was announced that it was coming. Now that it's here, there are just a few things I want to point out. First of all, I urge you to make use of it. It's a great improvement over the sites we've had in the past. With this site, you can interact. There is a place after each story for you to add your comments, well wishes to the subjects in the story or ask more questions.
The holiday season may not be the time of year that most people think about energy conservation and recycling. Let's face it. Those are the hot topics we reserve for Earth Day, not Christmas. Students, faculty and staff at the Licking Valley Campus of Maysville Community & Technical College are working diligently to remind community members how important it is to incorporate 'green,' earth-friendly initiatives in your holiday. The campus is teaching by example.
Welding is one of the flashiest, pun intended, programs at Kentucky Tech. Like Thor summoning lightning, there is something very exciting about harnessing electricity to melt two pieces of metal together. It's also very useful. Many of us do not think about how often we encounter welding or how often we rely on it. At any given moment it is likely that we are surrounded by welded products.

Which of Brad's Ladies is a Better Blonde? (POLL)
Celebuzz wants to know who you think looks better as a blonde: Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
Maybe blondes do have more fun!
Jennifer Aniston was spotted wearing a blonde wig on the set of her latest flick, Untitled Elmore Leonard Project, in Greenwich, Conn. on Monday.
The 43-year-old actress paired her lighter locks with a brown beret for the film, which is a prequel to the classic hit Jackie Brown.
Seeing Aniston go platinum reminds us of when Brad Pitt's current leading lady Angelina Jolie donned a similarly-blonde wig for her hit film Salt.
While the two actress' hair colors are a light brunette, both beauties looked fabulous with their on set looks.
Jolie, who usually opts for an overall darker look, has worn her hair bleached in years prior – most notably for her Oscar-winning performance in Girl, Interrupted. Aniston, however, has stayed loyal to her sun-kissed California brunette locks for decades.
Take the poll to the right and tell Celebuzz who you think looks better as a blonde?

Sensor Fish show how hydroelectric dams will affect salmon
It's a tough row to hoe for young salmon in the Pacific Northwest as they make their perilous journey from upriver to the ocean. Besides hungry birds and sea lions, the regions many hydroelectric dams and their swirling turbines produce manmade currents and other obstacles that make it challenging for the fish to navigate. But now with the help of an artificial Senor Fish created by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), existing larger dams and newer, smaller hydroelectric facilities can become more fish-friendly.

Using a tethered airship floating high up amongst the clouds, the Air HES concept claims to yield both clean water and electricity by harvesting and condensing water vapor which it uses to spin up an electric turbine generator to create power. According to the creators, they have built a prototype to test their theory and have also conducted feasibility studies into upping the scale of their device to produce economically viable levels of water and power.

The 3D-printed TipTapTop might end up being an incredibly annoying thing to have in your bathroom, but the way it goes about its job is quite clever. Read More
When we complain about the rain, other people will often say "Yeah, but it's good for the plants." Well, thanks to a microturbine-based system created by three students from the Technological University of Mexico, it's now also being used to generate electricity for use in low-income homes.

HydroBee wants to be your personal hydroelectric generator
There are already plenty of gadgets that allow people to charge their mobile devices while off the grid. Most of those products utilize solar power, while a few have gone the thermoelectric route. The HydroBee, however, generates electricity using the power of flowing water – think of it as a portable hydroelectric station. Read More
However efficient a prison may be, it still typically expends significant energy resources. But what if a prison could actually create power, rather than just consume it? That's the thinking behind lecturer in architecture Dr. Margot Krasojevic's futuristic offshore floating Hydroelectric Waterfall Prison concept, which isn't just self-sustaining, but produces excess energy for homes on the mainland too.

"Imagine opening a hatch in a submarine under water. The water will flow into the submarine with enormous force. It is precisely this energy potential we want to utilize." This is how German engineer Rainer Schramm describes his idea for storing energy under the sea. By using surplus energy to pump water out of a tank at the seabed, the water is simply let back in again when there's an energy shortfall, driving turbines as it rushes in. The deeper the tank, the more power is generated. Read More
Ibasei's Cappa provides hydroelectricity on a small scale
Despite being the most widely used form of renewable energy worldwide, hydroelectricity is generally reserved for large-scale commercial installations built around massive dams. Japanese company Ibasei has shrunk things down and removed the need to build a dam with its Cappa compact hydropower generator – a system that's designed to be installed along a river or waterway.

Studying the bumpy protrusions on the fins of humpback whales has already led to more efficient wind and tidal power turbines and now nature is once again the source of inspiration for a new and more efficient hydroelectric turbine. The latest source of biomimicry is the basking shark, which industrial design student Anthony Reale has borrowed from to create "strait power," a water-powered turbine generator that tests have shown is 40 percent more efficient than current designs.

Here at Gizmag we cover a seemingly endless stream of renewable energy technologies designed to wean us off our reliance on fossil fuels and improve the health of the planet. As important as such developments are, for these technologies to have an impact they must of course be implemented – and on a large scale. What has been sorely lacking is a plan to accomplish such a Herculean feat. Now researchers from the University of California-Davis and Stanford University have published a study that details one scenario to completely convert the world to clean, renewable energy sources – and they say it could be done in 20 to 40 years using technology available today at costs comparable to fossil fuel-based energy.

Hey there everyone! I'm Mitch/Ebola/that one kid, and I'm just geeked.
I've been viewing the forums for awhile, but I've never posted till now. I'm not one to frequent forums that often, but I think I can make an exception for this one!
I'm a pretty big Disney fan, not as big as most, but I hold my own, haha. I've been to WDW once, I think like 10 years ago, but I still remember some of it! I hope to make it back sometime soon, I'm planning on mid June this year, lets keep our fingers crossed! I've been telling people that this will be a pilgrimage for me. Cinderella Castle is my Vatican :rolleyes:. I'm so excited though!!!
I'm looking for the cheapest trip I can get though, haha, since cash is tight, and I'm planning on going with people other than my family, who won't have money to be spending all willynilly! So, I'll probably be browsing the money saving tips threads quite a bit until then! Thank goodness I have a friend "on the inside", haha, so maybe I can get a few helpful hints from her!
There's so much more at the parks now though! I just can't contain my excitement. Whenever the subject comes up (brought up by myself most likely) I get all giddy. People think I'm nuts, they may be right.
This is turning out to be pretty long, but when I'm in the mood to type, I often do so at length. I'm going to scan in some of my autographs from my trip soon, as I just unearthed them, and when I find my pics I'll throw some of them up too!
Sorry if this is a bit..hmm...badly written? It's quite late, and I'm slightly lost.
Thanks for your time :) If you're on MySpace go ahead and add me! ******
Have a great night!

Teething usually starts between four to seven months. The two front teeth (central incisors), either upper or lower, usually appear first, followed by the opposite front teeth. The first molars come in next, followed by the canines or eyeteeth.
By age two and a half, your child should have all his primary (or baby) teeth, including the second molars. It is important to care for your child's teeth to prevent decay, as well as other problems.

This dour slice of prison life centres on a depressed juvenile offender coming into conflict with the insensitive warders and the understanding governor during the last days of his sentence in a run-down Romanian jail. The trouble is triggered by his determination to prevent his feckless mother taking his younger brother to live in Italy. The tone, though not the style, brings to mind The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

With 11 rebounds against Maccabi he is now on 1,288 and overtakes Mirsad Turkcan, who was the leader with 1,287.
Superb display from Reyes (20 points, 11 rebounds and a PIR of 35), who is now the top rebounder in Euroleague history.
Odegaard completes his first training session as a Whites player.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper was in attendance at Fitur as a representative of his country.
The Whites don't leave the Spanish capital until the visit to Schalke on 18 February.
"In the first half we played very well both in offence and defence", added the coach.
The Welshman has scored in Real Madrid's last seven wins.
The president of Real Madrid participated in the stand shared by the Community of Madrid and the Council.
The sides have met six times in the Euroleague on the Israeli court with a head-to-head that reads 3-3 (8:05pm CET).
"He is showing his quality and we have to congratulate him for eveyting he is doing" said the former Colombian footballer about the Whites midfielder.

The Fiat 500 is one of Europe's most popular cars (it is also gradually gaining popularity in the U.S.) and now it may soon be one of the region's most popular fridges with the launch of the Smeg x Fiat HomeBar. Italian appliance company Smeg teamed up with Fiat to create this mini-fridge, which can hold up to 100 liters and resembles the front end of a Fiat 500.
The all-white Smeg x Fiat HomeBar is more or less a spot-on replica of a vintage Fiat 500. The headlights, wheels and grille help sell the illusion, while the inside of the fridge features functional dials that let you control the temperature. The fridge is being sold by French retailer Colette and will be available May 27th.

INDA Partners with Good360 in Product Philanthropy Initiative
Leading nonwovens association partners to help the nonwovens industry donate goods to charitable organizations
CARY, N.C. ? October 18, 2012 ? Realizing that its member companies would benefit greatly from a simple and effective way to donate excess inventory to worthwhile charities, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA), has partnered with Good360, the nonprofit leader in product philanthropy, to launch the first-ever nonwovens industry giving initiative.
This partnership creates a simple and streamlined way for companies up and down the nonwovens supply chain to donate products and make contributions to nonprofit organizations in need, helping companies improve their bottom line and, more importantly, make a difference in the lives of the families and communities that need it most.
?Because our industry offers an unusually diverse array of product offerings that can be useful to those in need ? things like diapers, medical supplies, wipes, building materials and filter products ? we are in a unique position to help out those in need,? says INDA President David Rousse. ?Our partnership with Good360 allows companies to give something back to the community by streamlining the process of finding organizations or individuals who can actually use their goods, which charities are worthwhile, or how to get the products to those who need them the most.?
Consistently recognized by Forbes as one of America?s top 10 most efficient charities, Good360 connects companies with product donations to a network of more than 30,000 prequalified nonprofits. It provides companies with expert donation management and a range of logistics services, including picking up available inventory and getting it into the hands of nonprofits in need. They also provide comprehensive donation tracking and reporting essential to measure giving impact and maximize the benefits for recipients and donors alike.
Since its inception in 1983, Good360 has distributed more than $7 billion in product donations to thousands of pre-qualified charities serving countless causes, individuals and communities. For more information on Good360, visit Good360.org.
Donations to Good360 can be made at any time, whether in the event of an emergency or in non-emergency times. Companies can donate when they have excess inventory, to reduce waste going to landfills or simply because you want to make a difference.
?We have the ability to tailor a giving program to any company?s needs,? says Good360 Vice President of Donor Relations, Doyle Delph. ?Our partnership with INDA will provide the nonwovens industry with 360 degrees of good ? good for companies, good for communities and good for the environment.?
In addition to the corporate social responsibility benefits, companies can make a positive difference for individuals and families struggling to make ends meet. Donations help to foster support and good will with employees and the local community as well as reduce landfill waste. In addition, companies that donate through the INDA/Good360 program qualify for an enhanced tax deduction.
To donate or to get involved with the INDA/Good360 initiative: http://www.inda.org/issues-advocacy/join-inda-and-good360-and-make-a-real-difference-in-the-lives-of-others/. When filling out the cash donation form, please select ?INDA? from the ?How did you first hear about Good360?? drop down list. When completing the product donation form, please write ?INDA? where it asks for ?Donation Title.?

Senator Jeff Sessions, the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, is releasing a statement this evening that claims President Barack Obama's "secret" plan "increases spending by more than $1 trillion above the current baseline."
"In other words," Sessions adds, "spending will increase $1 trillion above the already projected growth after enactment of the Budget Control Act as part of the last debt deal. It achieves not one dollar in net spending reduction or debt reduction, and it continues the country on a dangerously unsustainable debt path."
On ABC's This Week Sunday, host George Stephanopoulos asked Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner about a report that Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell "burst out laughing" when Geithner told McConnell the Obama adminstration's proposal to avert the fiscal cliff. Geithner avoided the question.
The top Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, revealed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD that he "burst into laughter" when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner outlined President Barack Obama's fiscal cliff plan yesterday. McConnell believes the plan is "completely unserious."
At a hearing today on Capitol Hill, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner blamed members of Congress (before 2008) for the economic troubles:
Politico: "Geithner: Action against Wall St. coming"
CBS News: "'Grenade-walking' part of 'Gunwalker' scandal"
ABC News: "Obama Sends 100 US Troops to Uganda to Help Combat Lord's Resistance Army"
ABC News reports that during an interview with David Muir yesterday concerning President Obama's $447 billion jobs bill, "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner didn't dispute a Harvard economist's estimate that each job in the White House's jobs plan would cost $200,000, but said" — mysteriously —"the pricetag is the wrong way to measure the bill's worth."
Despite the repeated attempts to wish away the Solyndra scandal, it appears to be getting bigger. Today, the Los Angeles Times informs us key White House personnel raised concerns the Department of Energy loan program that gave Solyndra $535 million was poorly conceived and managed long before the solar panel manufacturer's bankruptcy:
New York Times: "Second Recession in U.S. Could Be Worse Than First"
Washington Post: "Geithner tells Obama he will remain as Treasury secretary"
As of this writing, the president has pulled off a great political trick, with the help of some kamikaze Republicans.
Why, exactly, do we need to extend the debt limit to the point where the federal government can borrow another $2.4 trillion (hardly a nice round number) — about the same amount of money, even in inflation-adjusted dollars, that we borrowed to fight all of World War II? Because, as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made abundantly clear during his Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace, $2.4 trillion is the amount of money that the Obama administration thinks it needs to borrow (on behalf of taxpayers, who will have to pay it back) to get Obama through the next election.

Keep tabs on current conditions with at-home weather stations
The weatherman on the local news does a pretty good job of predicting and reporting the current conditions in your hometown, but sometimes you don't want to wait around for the daily report. Plus, it's pretty fun to see how the conditions in your backyard compare to the ones up the road. Luckily, you can select from a variety of weather stations that report and record the daily conditions right at your home. Some weather stations will even help predict the weather so you know whether snow shovels or the snowblower are on the agenda for tomorrow.
Outdoor weather stations come in a variety of styles, with many different features available. Complete weather stations will usually include outdoor thermometers, barometers and wind readers to help give you an accurate picture of the conditions outside. You can buy analog instruments that will give you readouts you can record yourself, or you can opt for a really cool digital model that transmits the information wirelessly into the comfort of your home.
The readouts on high-end weather stations will usually list the time and date along with multiple temperature readings, including both inside and outside temperatures, wind chill and dew point. Humidity readings may also give you a heat index temperature as well. Barometric pressure readings will help you determine if a change in weather is likely. You will also want your weather station to record wind speed and direction. Wind speed will help you determine whether it is time to fly a kite or time to batten down the hatches. Wind direction will usually give you an idea as to what type of weather system is headed your way. Variations let you know if systems are on the move or likely to stay put for a while. Your weather station may be able to read and interpret all of these measurements to give you a weather prediction, or you may want to do the interpreting yourself. Still other weather stations hook up to the internet to give you the predictions of weather professionals in the area.
While a quick visit to your favorite weather prediction site might give you all you need to know to get out the door in the morning, it may not be enough for the avid naturalist. If you like to watch birds and wildlife, it can be important to log the weather conditions, since precipitation and wind speed can have an effect on the activity of the local flora and fauna. You may also be interested in the wind conditions if you fly model airplanes or golf frequently. Likewise, weather stations are great if you plan to be out on the water. The wind direction and speed are great indicators for wave and surge conditions. Whether you need a weather station for work or play, Sears is here to help with a variety of weather stations to fit your hobbies, interests and career aspirations. Stop by to select a weather .station that will record all the data you need.

I worked at AECOM full-time (more than 5 years)
Coworkers are generally professional, likable, and friendly.
Willing to offer flexible schedules; good about avoiding excessive individual workloads.
Support staff (nonprofessional) tend to be very helpful and caring; however this trait is quickly dissipating over time.
Good opportunities to learn, get training, and try new tasks and various projects.
Horrendous pay with a laughable [minimum] yearly raise and sub-par benefits.
Frequently lay-off employees due to light workload ... and then look to hire again without any reason or improvement in workload.
Have no qualms about firing/laying-off workers just in time for holidays.
Huge disparity in work consistency and quality between offices; offices are extremely resistant to sharing work with each other.
Poor quality control in outgoing/final documents (grammar, spelling, etc.).
Immense disparity about operational procedures and quality between offices. Upper management (office/department/program managers, etc.) on the west coast is downright horrible to work for/with, with a tendency to be lazy, whereas midwest upper management is much better. Lower level workers are generally good quality throughout.
H&S program is becoming suffocating to field personnel, causing field activities to suffer.
Increasing trend of project managers not managing their projects, delegating duties to others. What exactly are they managing?!
Stop acquiring companies and absorbing them into AECOM. Instead, work on improving the current company and its operations.

I worked at AECOM full-time (more than 10 years)
ProsThe employees are great and the reason I stayed there for over twenty years. The company has grown too big and I felt more like a job title and employee number than who I was as a person and what I was worth to the company.
ConsCompensation varied greatly due to the payscales not being normalized of employees of the former opcos (operating companies that were bought by AECOM). Communication from upper Corporate IT is horrible at this point in time since my boss didn't know that I was laid off or that his boss had quit until I told him!
Advice to ManagementAdviceCorporate IT laid off over twelve IT managers without fully realizing the value of the talent and knowledge lost because of this action and is currently hurting the company.
Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO -

I heard of putting layers of cardboard inside of a planter pot to retain moisture. How many layers should I put in there? Problem I have is that water pours right out of the drainage holes and then the soil dries out right away. i have different size planters largest being 24" diameter by about 18" deep. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure where you are considering putting the cardboard, but putting it at the bottom will do no good whatsoever. There's no way your mix would wick "up" the water. The good news is that you have a fast draining mix, which is a good thing. There are ways to increase water retention, like adding peat, or a peat based mix to your mix. What is the composition of your current mix? |

Infiniti FX50 / FX35 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
rossp Posts: 2Just got a quote from a dealer in NY (Pepe Infiniti) - for the following:
Tech Package
Touring Package
Hands Free
Splash Guards
Cargo Protector
Price including 760 destination charge was $42,323 - which he tells me is 300 below invoice. The invoice prices I found suggest that invoice is actually $42,283 so could be a price error on my part.
This seems a reasonable deal - but sounds like it could be better. Any thoughts? -
verystingy Posts: 36
soloflex91 Posts: 4Hi All,
I'm desperate for feedback.
I just signed for a 21 month lease on a '07 FX35.
Sports Pkg
Tech Pkg
Touring Pkg
12K miles
$461 per month (first month)
$835 Tax
$78 delivery fee
$187 proc. fee
$595 bank fee
$45 dealer fee
$10 misc. fee (couldn't get them to waive it)
Total out of pocket $2,211
Does this sound competitive? or did I leave money on the table? I'm never satisfied. Thanks in advance. -
verystingy Posts: 36
spxks Posts: 4Hi,
Can you please tell me where you got this deal? I think you did great....
I am down in SFL - calling around their seems to be very little 07 FX's inventory (almost nil) --- anyone having luck?
So, now they are selling/leasing the 08's at crazy money...
My choice find where 07's are available or wait...does anyone have any idea when they may be offering some deals on the 08's - would I have to wait 2-3 mths??? -
soloflex91 Posts: 4I got my deal from Atlantic Infiniti. I wouldn't say I didn't come close to pissing EVERYONE OFF in the dealership. I played Manhattan against Atlantic. Manhattan promised to beat Atlantic's deal by $375. Atlantic went further and just did it just to get rid of me. I tried to get that extra $10 taken off but they wouldn't hear of it.
Hope this helps. -
robbie15 Posts: 1I am in the Atlanta, GA area and am planning on buying a New 07 or 08 FX35 in the next week or so. I only care about getting the Touring Pkg. and would not mind having the Blue Tooth Pkg. I don't care about any other options and would prefer not to have them. I would like to pay $38,000 total out the door. Is this reasonable for either model? I plan on putting down approx. $10,000 to $25,000 depending on the financing options that I can get through the Infiti Dealership. Is this smart? What are the current financing options? Please help with any info. Thanks.
fx35guy Posts: 1Hi,
Bought 2007 FX 35 AWD with the following
Sport Package
Touring Package
Hands Free
Splash Guards
Cargo Protector
Out of the door price was $41,997. Got the 1.9% for 60 months. Because my tag needed a replacement they charged me for that and also for the finance charge to the state.
How does this price sound? Live in SFLa -
jriker1 Posts: 11I must say that I normally do not spend my time to post bad comments but had to do so. I was looking at a vehicle just like post #1210 got. I was quoted $40,225 for it before taxes.
I inquired about the new $1,000 marketing incentives that just started and if I could get a better deal due to this. I get some story that he lost his incentives in lue of the 0.9% financing and now has to charge me $41,225. There wasn't even a marketing incentive last month for the 07 so not sure what he is talking about. Go figure, 08's are on the lot and they are raising the price for the 07's big time over invoice.
Plus they advertised in the paper the other day $5,500 off 07 FX35's. I was skeptical because they showed a picture of the FX35 and a stock number under it, but nothing to say it was only on that vehicle. Ended up being a dealer demo and only for that vehicle.
Slimmy tactics that I would expect better from at an Infiniti dealer. -
jriker1 Posts: 11Here is my contribution to this thread. Just picked one up and wasn't expecting to. Couldn't resist:
- Sport Package
- Touring Package
- Hands Free
- Roof Rails
- Cargo Protector
- Splash Guards
- Locking wheels
- SHEER PLATINUM color
- XM (Standard Now)
Ended up getting the vehicle for 43k (invoice $41,551 not including advertising charge) except for taxes. Was expecting to pay around 40k for an 07, however considering this was just off the truck, first shipment for 08's, has a paint job that is an extra $850, and the price is slightly higher, feel like this was a good deal.
jriker1 Posts: 11Yes and no. The IPod connector is now a factory option however this one didn't have it. They charge about $400 for it which is a lot for a 8mm dim connector. Rather use my $30 radio transmitter if I have to pay for it. They also locate it in the glove box which is kind of a bad spot for it if you want open access to the unit. You can also have the dealer put one in and they said when they do it the connector goes in the arm rest storage area between the driver and passenger seats.
atlantadetroit Posts: 1I am going to buy a fx 35 tomorrow and want to know how to find out what the invoice is? I believe they only show the msrp.Is it reasonable to think I can buy it for 4-5k less than msrp? Also I know I want navigation are there any other features that you would reccomend? Thanks
Gary -
jriker1 Posts: 11I would suggest going to Edmunds.com and configure the car as you like. It will tell you the MSRP, Invoice, and what people in your area are paying, however not sure where that last bit of data is coming from.
Are you going to try and get an 07? Guessing so by your thoughts of getting it that much below invoice. With the $1,000 marketing support, I would bet you won't see it more than $1,000 under the invoice if you are lucky. Infiniti doesn't discount heavily. Some even still have 06 models in their lot they won't discount heavily to sell. 4 - 5 thousand under invoice would be unheard of on a new car. Dealer isn't going to take that much of a loss to sell it.
One cute thing Infiniti told me is if they have 08's on the lot they will try and get rid of the 07's. If the dealer you are talking to has no 08's yet, they will sell the 07's as if the 08's were not out yet and price accordingly.
As for what else you need, hard to say as I opted to not want to spend money on the navigation system since it is not something I would use much and is the most costly addition. I opted for the sport package for the nicer tires and suspension, the touring package for the sunroof, and the hands free to talk on my blue tooth phone and not have to wear a ear piece or hold the phone.
Just my input. Good luck. -
floridasteve Posts: 13
aepheme Posts: 48On a 2007 2WD FX35 with Touring & Hands-Free:
Invoice = $37,148
You've been quoted almost $1,400 above invoice. That's probably not a great deal... especially with the 2008s right around the corner.
Edmund's TMV says they're going for around $200 above invoice. I've personally received a quote for around $100 above invoice. You can do better...! Good luck. -
themays2003 Posts: 5I just received a quote on a 2007 AWD FX35 in the Columbus Ohio area with the following:
Hands Free
Cargo Protector
Splash Guards
Sunroof Deflector
I believe the MSRP was $42,290.00
The dealer listed the following on his quote:
Total Cap $40,232.38 (including taxes)
Residual - 67%
Monthly lease payment $486.42 for 24 months and 12K miles
$2000 out the door
They listed cap reduction of $647.93
Tax $90.65
$100 Doc Fee
$80 License Fee
$486.42 Advance Pymt
$595 Bank Fee
Rate 0.26
Is this a good deal? I see a lot of people with monthly payments and they have the sport and/or technology packages. I would not even know how to neg. on a lease. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what all of these numbers mean and my husband is from England and has never leased before so this is all new to him. We are supposed to make a decision about the FX today and I'm not sure how or if we can lower the price. Any help that can give us would be great.
As an added note does anyone know of dealers somewhat close to Ohio that may have new (not demos) '07's in black, navy or white? Our local dealers only have Liquid Platinum which is nice, but not my first choice.
Thanks in advance for your help! -

2007 AWD Autum Copper
Sport, Hands free and Touring packages

I feel I got a good deal. Couldn't get the dealership to toss the doc fee but oh well, I wanted the car.

I know this may seem like a bit of an odd question but I've been wondering about it for the past few days and for some reason I can't escape the feeling that it (atheism) would be a rather 'conservative' point of view (that is, at least in title), and yet I'm constantly being called a liberal because of my social and political leanings. I'm just wondering what your views are on this.
PS: I'll be gone for a few days but I will catch up with this thread when I return.
10/10 for showing that you have absolutely no idea what socialism is.
Easy: Thats because you have described communism, not socialism.
Communism: forced econimic wealth distribution for everyone.
Socialism: you can be as rich as your talent will let you, but you dont get to exploit the poverty of others, and you are guaranteed a minimum standard of living.
Communism:Individual rights are dictated by the state.
Socialism: Individual rights are gained by free elections and lawmaking by "we the people".
Communism: All property is held by the state.
Socialism: You own your own property.
Communism, Socialism, Fascisim, Theocracies & Democracies, and republics all use the threat of incarceration to get their way.
Learn the vaast differences, and then rejoin the debate.
ps, here is what socialism does for you :
Actually I would argue that it is the excesses of unchecked capitalism that is destroying the usa. When the usa no longer (now) has a viable middle class and the gap between rich and poor is the greatest in the developed world, it points to exploititive capitalism as the culprit.
You speak of rights, but not of responsibilities, what of your responsibilities to your fellow citizen ? or dont you care that he cannot get 3 full meals a day because of an exploitative labor market ?
I have only a responsibility to not violate another's individual rights. He does not have a right to the fruits of my labors.
He does have the right to be adequately rewarded for his labor, as do you.
Profit does not entail exploitation without force or fraud.
Nice double negative, What i think you are trying to say is that profit can be made with no coercion, socialism agrees, because it is best for society when everyone wins.
None of your definitions change that socialism as a political philosophy, puts the invalid rights of the group in front of the individual.
Why are the rights of the group inherently invalid ? If you put the rights of the individual first you also have the reverse of the problems of communism. (which you incorrectly keep calling Socialism) where the right of the murderer and rapist to keep on offending are protected (or would you like society to step in there, and make a socialist decision?).
And socialism always entails public ownership, which necessitates force.
Always ? there is an absolutist statement which is completely biased and unverifiable. Socialism does not repeat NOT inherently entail public ownership of ANYTHING. The public (society) may decide whether to nationalise or privatise something, but that iis their decision!
Your emotions are clear, but your arguments are nonsubstantial.
Ad hominem attack, breaks the rules of civilised debate. And my arguments are perfectlty logical, if only you could see them.
You can't be as successful and your talents will let you with socialism, you must sacrifice partial ownership of your earnings.
This is equally true under capitalism. You still have to pay your taxes, and buy at the market rate all that you need/desire.
Oooh, guaranteed a minimum. For what, being born. No thanks.
Yes, its called respect for your fellow man. If you want no minimum standards, just bring back slavery, its got a long and proud history in the usa.
Hopefully my parents had the power to raise and educate me and provide shelter and insurance before they made me, and if I'm their 5th kid on welfare, no one else owes me shit.
EPIC FAIL on the education ! FYI Not all parents are good parents, or have the money to educate you, besides if you really belive in user pays capitalism, ask you 5 year olds to pay their own way in school through child labor, after all, no one owes them shit either. (or would you prefer they belong to some type of socialist institution called a family that would look after them, to raise and educate them?)
Welfare grows the lower class and taxes paralyze the middle and stop the rich from creating jobs and putting capital back in the market.
Capitalism uses financial leverage to destroy the middle class and turn them into the lower class, the rich benefit from this and hoard money as protection from the lower classes they have created.
Enough for now, im at work!
