Meeting Wednesday on reorganizing schools
Original post made by Richard Hine, editor of The Almanac, on Oct 10, 2006
Additional information will be presented at a second meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 25. That¹s when trustees could make a decision on changing the grade levels at Laurel and Encinal schools and shifting school attendance boundaries that could bring future students to Encinal from the Oak Knoll area.
At the Oct. 11 meeting, the district¹s recently hired planner/program manager Ahmad Sheikholeslami will discuss the development of a multi-year facility master plan to guide the planning and construction of facilities, financed by the $90 million bond measure approved by voters June 6.
The presentation is designed to clarify the planning process that will involve staff members and other constituents and the timeline by which planning will occur, said Superintendent Ken Ranella.

Love It or Leave It? Fiber Optic Clutch Bag
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
I don't think these purses warrant a "perfect for summer" intro, but they would be an ideal accessory to pair with the light emitting diode dress don't you think? Featured on 7 Gadgets, this luminous fiber optic clutch bag is covered with fiber optic fabric and synthetic gold leather - what is with all the gold anyways? Battery powered, this bag has a small switch inside it so you can turn the fibers on or off. I guess that means "off" for day "on" for night? For $173, you'd have to be an extremely high tech fashionista to invest in one of these. I am not that girl. What do you think? True love or leave it alone?

Yea, the release of Pulsefire Ezreal unleashed a wave of new animations packed in to every new champion/skin. Recall animations, Draven's axes, Khaz & PFE's evolutions - those are just a few examples of animations that really brought those champions to life.
Champions no longer seem like individual models, but a collection of models that are a sum greater than it's parts. It's been fun, over the past two years, to see how far the designs have come. I mean, look at Yi's triangle feet compared to Mecha Kha'Zix sprouting missile pods from his shoulders.
Senior Animation Engineer
Ho! You just earned yourself a whole mess of brownie points for any of those folks clamoring like teenage girls at a Bieber concert for PFE's release.
Watch out!

Hello, seeing that you like nocturne and all and i plan on getting him soon, can you recommend a build and maybe some tips for playing him please <3
The Freakshow
Hey Griftix,
There are a lot of your answers to look through so my apologies if this was already asked.
I get that you're an animation engineer, so I assume your job requires a bit of coding, yes?
How did you get into that specific spot as opposed to a designer or QA of some sort? And where did you start out?
In college, what did you graduate with to allow you this fantastic opportunity?
Sorry for all the questions, I am a fourth year with Computer Science right now, and I'm planning to apply for an internship, just wanting to see which area I should aim for.
Mike "FreakShow" =]
what is the meaning of life
and why should i care.
Gentleman Poro
So my favorite "specialized" animation is the astronautilu moon bounce, what would yours be?

Health care available to people in rural areas explained to them
The austere interiors of a Primary Health Centre (PHC) model at the artificial village at AP PEDICON were a shock to children from private schools here. Students of several private schools visited 'Pedikanupalli', the artificial village created at the venue of the Andhra Pradesh Paediatricians Convention, here on Friday.
The PHC is the place where people in rural areas have to go to when they are ill or have a medical emergency. The PHCs are in no way similar to the plush corporate and private hospitals that are easily accessible to people living in the city.
A team of delegates led by the convention's organising secretary Majety Madhavi explained to the children about the various measures people living in the rural areas need to take to protect their health and hygiene. The health care available to the people living in the rural areas was also explained to them.
The children also enjoyed the pastoral atmosphere created at the venue of the convention. The bullock-carts that have virtually vanished from the roads were a big attraction.
As per the schedule workshops were conducted at the Siddhartha and NRI Medical Colleges and also at the IMA Hall.
Three stalwarts from the field of paediatrics spoke about "STEER" (Sensitising to Think Enable Excellence and Rationality). Y.K. Ambekar, Rajesh Chokhani, and Anand K Shandilya, three eminent paediatricians and authors of several books in the specialisation, spoke about the importance of developing clinical skills to diagnose the ailments, at Siddhartha Medical College.
The experts were against doctors simply ordering different types of investigations to find out the ailment. They gave various clinical tips that would help doctors distinguish between ailments that have very similar symptoms. Paediatric surgeon Anil Kumar Parchuri was the moderator.
Three stalwarts in the field S. Thangavelu and E. Mahendra from Chennai and Satish Deopujari from Nagpur conducted a workshop on 'Poisoning and Antimicrobials' at NRI Medical College.
Workshops were conducted on 'Paediatric Intensive Care' in Rainbow Children's Superspecialty Hospitals, 'Neonatal Intensive Care' in Andhra Hospital, and 'NRP – Workshop for Nurses' in IMA Hall.
The big attraction at the convention on Saturday is the public interaction with teachers and parents on adolescent care with M.K.C. Nair, Trivandrum, from 3.30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Using customer service platform Desk.com is like being adopted into a large family. The adopters happen to be Salesforce.com.
Salesforce has updated its acquired platform with a new intelligent agent console and a mobile app and reporting engine among other enhancements for all-in-one automated customer service.
"The No. 1 wow factor is that we can grow with you," said Leyla Seka, senior vice president and general manager of Salesforce Desk.com. "You can start on Desk.com and grow any which way you want to grow."
Seka described Desk.com as "awesome" and "amazing."
And then there's this — a lot of point solutions, Seka added, do not have the speed and power of Salesforce behind it.
Next Generation Customer Support
Desk.com avoids having to choose between legacy support solutions that require dedicated IT resources or point solutions that lack the ability to scale as a company grows, officials said.
Salesforce is calling it the "next generation" Desk.com. It includes:
- Faster service set up with new intelligent agent console: The console can be personalized per agent to optimize productivity while rules, workflows and templates maintain the company's brand integrity.
- Faster decision making with actionable insights: The new reporting engine includes metrics and insights that allows managers to view comprehensive, real-time reports. In addition, Desk.com now includes 10 times more APIs to quickly connect data from other apps for a holistic view of the customer and an integration with Salesforce.
- Mobile app: Users can add notes, update statuses and assign cases in the mobile app.
In a demo of the new features with CMSWire, Salesforce officials showed the ability for agents to handle customer requests with features like predictive responses. Agents can deliver customer experiences across phone, email, web and social media.
The next generation Desk.com is generally available today with pricing starting at $30 per month, per agent. The Desk.com mobile app for iPhone and iPad is now generally available for download at the Apple App Store. Support for Android devices will be available in the fall of 2014.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Dear Design Forum,
Me and my partner are designing a logo for a school project - a magazine/newspaper for Israeli and Palestinian youth (ages 9-14) called "Windows" (Chalonot / Shababik).
We came up with this logo treatment, and we're wondering about the Arabic - is it readable as the Hebrew (which is quite distinguished)?
Also any other comments are welcome.
Thank you!
Since I don't read Hebrew I can't attest to the relative legibility between the two scripts*, but the Arabic itself is plenty legible. The only potential problem (which the Hebrew probably has too) is the possible confusion with the circles; you might try making them different - maybe make the Arabic ones diamonds. A bigger problem however is how the logo will look without color, since you're relying on that heavily for legibility.
* Which probably is only of academic interest however.
the hebrew's also plenty legible!

Adorama Learning Center Editors

"The subject strikes me as not yet ready for the photographer."—Joe Gioia
© Chris Vickroy, New Braunfels, TX. Gear: Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR, Nikon SB-800 speedlight with 24-inch shoot-through umbrella. Exposure: f/3.5 at 1/500 sec, ISO 100. Speedlight placed approx. 3' from subject, metered in Spot mode, manual exposure. Adjusted exposure and white balance in Lightroom.Photographer's statement: I chose this shot for both the lighting, exposure and composition. I feel this is a good example of a portrait and captures her personality quite well.
Our critics say...
Mason Resnick: This is a well-conceived and executed photo. I love the extreme perspective and receding lines, and the lighting, which is soft enough to flatter the model but directed enough to provide a spot-lit look. The model's playful expression, however, seems a bit out of place against the dark, foreboding background, and that bothers me just a little bit. One could just as strongly argue that her expression is a welcome contrast and injects a bit of humor into the shot. Either way on exposure/technical grounds I'd say the photographer nailed this shot.Jack Howard: There's something to really like about this image. It feels like a well-executed stock photo for something–I'm not sure what that might be, though. My only nitpick is that the eye is challenged for first focus: her eyes make the shot, but the front shoulder and torso area is the biggest, brightest section of the frame. Some light burning in here would help to lead the viewer's initial focus away from here and to the subject's quizzical expression.Joe Gioia: I once heard a famous portrait and fashion photographer comment on some pictures of Marilyn Monroe he was looking at. "She was never not-ready to have her picture taken," he said. Here, the subject strikes me as not yet ready for the photographer. It's a beautiful picture space, but the subject doesn't appear comfortable in it. Her mouth is a little tense, and the glasses seem like a prop used for a bit of distracting comic relief. Possibly complicating matters is how near she is to the lens and strobe. You get a sense of her personality, but not what she's like as a person. Maybe the hardest task in photography is cultivating a relaxed and willing portrait subject for a shot as deliberately setup, and close-up, as this example.

Are you an Xplorer convert now, Aaron?
|Aug 16, 2010, 10:52 PM
I wish I was. My F3B order came in and whacked my model budget for a while A 4.0ST sounds pretty sweet though.
|Aug 17, 2010, 12:22 AM
I have to say that I'm really enjoying my 3.5M all carbon X. I think it weighs about 76oz, but it seems like the only real limitation is me. I really don't know how much better a lighter one would be for me, I'd likely try to fly it too slowly. As it is, this one is getting easier and easier to stay up just as long as I want, even if the air isn't great.
And the plane launches great.
Now I just need to learn to hit some landings!

I have out-foated many an Explorer with my Aspire. To me they are definitely comparable gliders, but with the overall performance and handling edge going to the Aspire.
|Aug 17, 2010, 11:45 AM
What I meant is that Xplorer can be flown really slow without loosing efficiency. Aspire has a very soft stall and kind handlig, but if you slow it too much tail starts to hang and efficiency is lost. With Aspire one has also pay more attention to trailing edge camber. Xplorer seemed to float on happily with neutral trailing edge.
The 3.5m x-tail was also very nimble to turn. Felt actually like a much smaller plane... Again little different from Aspire.
|Aug 17, 2010, 12:22 PM
Nimbleness is simply a set up issue with these gliders. They all handle so well. My Aspire set up allows it to feel like a much smaller glider than it really is. Also, I would have to say that even the Explorer can be flown too slow. Tuomo, you stated that compared to the Aspire, the difference of the Explorer is almost revolutionary! Seriuosly, both gliders are great, and the glider one choses to fly is simply a matter of personal preference since the overall performance numbers are so close. But from a strictly confidence point of view, for me to step up to the flight line with any glider of my choice I would choose the Aspire over all the other options out there.
Guess I should start my own Aspire thread eh??
|Aug 17, 2010, 12:24 PM
I have compared the Aspire to all the versions of Xplorers. Aspire gets the edge over 3.5X. Mostly due to wingspan and loading of 9.5oz/ft2. And 3.5X's loading was right at 9oz/ft2.
Both look to have very similar sink rate, but the X could float at a slower speed. The sink rate alone is misleading, but say both sink at x over 1sec. In that 1 sec, the Aspire will have traveled a bit more in distance. This is of course due to the better a/r of 3.7 Aspire.
Compared Aspire to 3.8X and I think the results are so close there is no difference. However with the lighter 3.8X you can get her to really slow and tighten up in a thermal. Once I tried the 3.8 with light tips the edge for me was with the Xplorer.
Compare Aspire with my current 4.0 and I say it's a no brainer. This 4.0ST can circle as tight as the Aspire, maybe even tighter and the L/D is simply amazing. But it's an unfair comparison anyhow due to the span and weight advantage of the 4.0 Xplorer.
Also on a side note, there is something I noticed over the course of the last couple years regarding the weight of the planes, and that is I have come to realize that weight removed from the center is sometimes not as beneficial as one may think because the flying characteristics may not improve, but deteriorate overall.
The "balance" of the plane is much more important. What I mean by balance is the percentage of weight the extremities (tips, nose, tail) take up in the overall weight.
Take 2 exact plane for example, both weighing the same, but the concentration of weight is different. One having slighter heavier tips for instance and one where just the fuse is heavier. The one with the heavier fuse will fly better. Very simple but often not accounted for.
Take the plane with the heavier tips and remove some fuse weight, it may not fly better, because now though the plane should be able to fly slower, the response from same ail throw as before is not the same, it may feel more sluggish becasue even though the overall weight is lighter, the tips weigh more as a percentage now.
I am sure the aero guys have known this for so long and I am just finding out for myself. In my recent builds, I am concentrating more towards reduce weight at the extremities. Just more to think about for us laymen .

|Aug 17, 2010, 02:08 PM
Do your own testing and trust your feelings
|Aug 17, 2010, 02:50 PM
On the Aspire, Explorer question, I would like to pass on a few observations. First I think they are both excellent sailplanes and have similar charcteristics. IMHO the Explorer may have the edge for a lesser experienced contest pilot as I think it is more tolerant to elevator tugging. As far as dead air an advanced pilot can fly an Aspire with any of the top designs. While I think the Aspire has the edge in circling and covering ground, it might just be that the Aspire is a great match for my skill-set. As mentioned We are testing some light weight Aspires and with Lubos's permission I will start a thread on this model after testing next week. Light weight is not a siver bullet with either an Aspire or Explorer. I have seen one of Benedikt's 63 ounce 3.55 Explorers and I know that if flown carelessly, it can be broken. I am sure the new sub 70 ounce Aspires can have the same issues. I have found that if the pilot does not instantly recognise sink, he will get killed trying to fly lite. I prefer to be heavy enough for the conditions, so that I am not constantly having to push. But, in the first or last round of the day a light model can offer some advantage, the key is knowing when to jump back to the all round weighted model. An ultra light weight can be overstessed with wind, a deep zoom, or launching through a thermal. Spend some time getting to know your model, and you will be surprised how much better it perfoms. LJ

Hurted Angel Poems
Shattered Heart
Walking alone in the path of darkness Don't know where it ends Keeping your memories in my heart Moving inside into the world of sorrowfulness.
Laughter and Tears Fun and sorrow Forget the past Think of Tomorrow.
Spoken Soul
One day everything wil be mesmerised into a dark heavenly gloom. I dont know today where m standing The road which are least covered by the people like me. From where every path is covered with a black ashes where there is no hope.
It started with a friendship, Far did I know. Never thought of being togrther What we were..
Love is when you hug me tight and kiss me hard Love is when you feel sad and I cry for you Love is when you hold my hand and we walk together Love is when you angry on me and I make you laugh.
He Is Gone
I know u are gone But these eyes finds ur eyes in the rest This heart thumps in candence of ur memory These hands reach out for u in void
Gone Forever
Roaming alone in the crowd of people With all feelings and memories Holding their beautiful hands in the middle of lovely couples I scared and fear to Drop my special tears.
With You Forever
I thought to live with you forever I thought that you will leave me never Ya but it was Just a imagination I realised In every night the face which I fantasize.

Walking alone in the path of darkness
Don't know where it ends
Keeping your memories in my heart
Moving inside into the world of sorrowfulness.
I shouted, cried aloud but no one to hear
Only cats and dogs were barking and standing there.
Once I feared of darkness
Now its the only friend for my spareness.
Hope to see the light one day

And if I wish I could remove all the sorrow
and also if I could, then happiness will I borrow.
Now I've to go my friend

County Council OKs purchase of rail corridor
The agreement clears the way to buy a section of the Eastside Rail Corridor from the Port of Seattle for $5 million. Money for the purchase comes from conservation futures grants the county approved earlier this year.
"We're excited about this," said Peter Camp, an executive director in County Executive John Lovick's office.
The agreement passed the council 3-1, with Councilman John Koster opposed.
The transaction is expected to close by the middle of next year. Before that happens, the Port of Seattle must complete a formal process to unload the property as surplus. Camp said leaders from Snohomish County and other jurisdictions expect to schedule a ceremony once that happens, likely some time in January.
The Eastside Rail Corridor runs for 42 miles between Snohomish and Renton. Since buying the route in 2009, the Port of Seattle has been selling it off in pieces to other local governments.
Snohomish County is buying the portion that starts in downtown Snohomish and runs south to Woodinville, where it could link with King County's extensive system of recreation trails.
The county wants to build a recreation trail alongside the rail lines, which currently serve freight traffic. The city of Snohomish hopes to lure tourist trains to ferry customers between its antique district and Woodinville's wineries.

So DD2 is 13mo now and my DS weaned at 14mo and DD1 didn't nurse long. She isn't weaning any time soon and I intend to let her lead the way as to when we should wean. Up until now we have always called nursing "MILKY BOOB". I just realized that eventually she will know how to talk while still nursing. I'm not sure if yelling for "MILKY BOOB" across a public place is something I really want to experience from her. Maybe I need to call it something else? So I am curious what experienced long term nursers have to say on the subject? What does your family call it? Has that become an issue once your child learned to talk?
When my oldest used to just ask for milk, but my brother once got embarrassed when he realized she wasn't talking about the stuff he had in the fridge. She was about 2 and so I said, "Let's call it M.M. for Mommy Milk," and she said, "K.K." and I said, "No, M.M." and she said, "K.K." and so that's what it became and that's what I called it with her 3 younger siblings. Only much later, that I realized, she was probably just answering me with "Okay."
so you called it KK?
Yes it became KK and also used that term with her 3 younger siblings.
My LO is 21 months. For a while she was just saying "Molk" but now she says "Mummy Milkies". I didn't really teach her that although I probably asked her if she wanted mummy milk a few times.
I started this thread some months ago, maybe you can get some more ideas from there: http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1328331/for-fun-what-is-your-childs-word-for-nursing
We call it boo-boo, not sure how that happened but that's just what it is. I'm American but live in the EU in a non-English speaking environment and I often forget that in American boo-boo is a kiddie word for a small cut or scrape. I always have to giggle when I hear an American say boo-boo in that way now....because for us boo boo is a way of life, not a little cut, lol!
I always asked if DS wanted "milks" and even progressed to using the sign for "eat." He decided at 23 months to finally ask for it by saying "num-num." We just roll with it. Nobody notices it when we are in public when he asks or if I ask him if he wants milks.
In my family (with my mother) we called in "meep". I was the eldest and I think that's just how I said "milk" for awhile, and it stuck. She used it with all of my siblings, too.
I've been calling it "Mama milk" with my son. He can't talk yet so we'll see what he comes up with.
Ha ha, we call it Milky Boob too! My 15 mo can say Boob (more like "boo"). I was thinking about changing it too, lol. I like the "mommy milk" idea. Or maybe just "milky"... I probably won't change it until he can say other words better though. Its nice for him to be able to communicate "boo" to me right now, and he only really can say m, b, and p sounds right now...
DS (20 mos) sometimes signs "milk" (he used to only sign) and for the last month or so has decided on "Mamma Moot" (a mis-pronounciation of "Milk" obviously). But I like the "Moot" because it makes it more discreet! So, he either wants "mamma moot" or "moo moot" (cow milk) but you can guess which one he prefers...
I love all these nicknames! Thanks for sharing. I'm still trying to teach DD the sign for milk but she will only do it if I help her with her hand.

Think Progress: "Know What's Really Behind The War On Christmas? Hotcoldwetdry"
It's that time of the year when Warmists start trotting out their stories linking Christmas and globull warming. Perhaps George Soros funded Think Progress should ask the Obama's, who have 54 Christmas trees
Global Warming Is Behind The Real War On Christmas
It's that time of year when Fox News and other conservative media outlets revive their imaginary "War on Christmas." But the actual threat to one Christmas tradition comes from something more insidious than Fox's perceived attacks: Extreme drought, fueled by climate change, has hit the Christmas tree market.
2012′s relentless drought will likely last through the rest of the winter, at least in the midwest, as areas under severe drought expanded in November. Right now, 63 percent of the lower 48 states are experiencing drought conditions: (snip)
One study after another shows that the U.S. will only face increasingly severe, frequent droughts, with global warming as the culprit.
I'll give Rebecca Leber some props for using the phrase "global warming" a few times, though she used climate change a bit, as well. What she forgot to do was provide definitive proof that Mankind's actions are behind the rise in temperatures that occurred since the end of the Little Ice Age, particularly since the 1930's were warmer than today, and the drought was considerably worse. The previous warm periods were likewise warmer. There has been no increase in global temperatures in 16 years, despite rising CO2 levels. This has all been a primarily natural swing in temperatures, with much of the apparent increase being due to land use and the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Furthermore, AGW believers always fail to tell us what changes they've introduced into their own lives to reduce their own "carbon footprint." I'll believe it's a crisis when they act like it's a crisis. They should all run out and get rid of their minivans and big SUVs and purchase Chevy Volt's, for starters.

I am sorry, but for this poor lady's sake this book should never have been published, it is an embarassment to her. Phony Doctors, stalkers, even Mafia involved. This poor woman obviously needs full time care, and, if as she says, people are encouraging her to do stuff like this, then friends they are not.

Contributing Editor Virginie Boone has been with Wine Enthusiast since 2010, and reviews and reports on the wines of Napa and Sonoma for the magazine. Sonoma-based Boone began her writing career in 1997 with Lonely Planet travel guidebooks, contributing to titles on South America, Northern California, France and America's Deep South. Travel assignments led her to California-focused wine coverage, including regular features for the New York Times regional newspaper Santa Rosa Press Democrat, for which Boone has been a contributing wine writer for several years. She is also the author of Napa Valley and Sonoma: Heart of California Wine Country, and a regular panelist and speaker on wine topics in California and beyond.
A perennial standout for good reason, this Pinot is light in color and elusive at first. Teasing in baked strawberry-rhubarb, it subtly offers a rare purity of focused fruit flavor, with gorgeous aromas of dewy rose petals playing a substantial supporting role. Thanks to subtle oak, the finish builds in terms of intensity, with the wine maintaining a delicate…— V.B. (3/1/2015)
The winery's second vintage from this site, Calegari is medium-weight, with structured oak and a silky palate. It's a ripe expression of anise and red cherry that's juicy, spicy and complex, with pretty violet aromas.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
Since this is the winery's largest production Pinot, but still under 1,000 cases, buyers actually have a chance of finding this full-bodied beauty. Sly on the nose, it is tense in toasty oak and chewy cherry, venturing into black cherry, blackberry and root beer. It's amply structured and robust, yet with silky tannins. Enjoy through 2022.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
The winery's prowess in blending fruit from distinct sites shows through with this 100% Syrah, a high proportion of which was whole-cluster fermented. Hedonistic streaks of pepper hit the nose first before developed layers of peppery cherry and blueberry pique the palate. Given an extra year in bottle after extended time in barrel, it balances smoky chocolate…— V.B. (3/1/2015)
This 100% Syrah comes from four parcels of high-elevation sites across Sonoma, many of them otherwise single-vineyard designated by the winery. Here, the blending pays off in refined, gamy, sanguine undertones that evolve in the glass to meet mouthfilling black currant, fine-grain leather and white pepper. An acidic lift on the finish balances the wine's power.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
Initially, this wine is all about strawberry tart, with layers of cardamom and white pepper as well as hints of blueberry and blackberry on the back palate. Offering high-toned fruit and acidity, it settles on the finish, becoming rich and full bodied in style, with final notes of nutmeg, vanilla and chocolate.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the vintner's estate, this wine is holding back some of its complexity now in lieu of aging potential. Smoky oak, bay leaf, ripe raspberry, cherry and cedar tones remain elusive and subtle on the palate. This is an elegant wine, vibrant in red fruit and light spice. Cellar it through 2022.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
Vibrantly intoxicating wafts of varietal pepper and violets are complemented by gorgeous layers of blackberry, raspberry and smoky, gamy meat. The acidity marks the palate most, however, lifting the wine's denseness of concentration into a more complex and interesting place. Made in small quantities, this wine is ready to enjoy but will age through 2021, as well.— V.B. (3/1/2015)
Slight notes of iron oxide inform the dense and richly textured red…

Changes I made
Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.
Dorm Experience
Oh my goodness! What a night! 8 girls in 1 room coming and going at any time of the night. Making loud noises, putting the light on, snorring crazy, clogging the toilet, jumping around in the upper bunk, very limited respect. Under these circumstances I had my difficulties catching sleep. Am I getting too old for a dorm?

How to proceed after architect error
We have taken a small, 1185 square foot 2 bedroom, 1 bath house down to studs. We enlisted the help of a local architect after Christmas, providing them with a detailed SketchUp drawing of the as-built structure. (My husband measured the building using a laser type tape measure.)
On New Year's Day we were working on removing the chimney and were so pleased that one of the architects came over to re-measure. I was impressed with how quickly he took measurements knowing it took my husband about three hours, but chalked it up to the architect's experience.
Last Friday I had a site visit with the primary architect I've been working with via telephone and email. The objective was to finalize the floor plan (now a 2 bed, 2 bath) and make a couple decisions about windows. I was so thrilled to be done with floor plan tweaking and get on with gathering bids.
As soon as I looked at the floor plan in the space, I saw that the window placement in the kitchen and dining room were all wrong. I helped her remeasure, but a red flag went up when I gave her a dimension of 2 feet 11 3/4 inches and she repeated back 3 feet. And then I measured 3 feet 2 inches and she said, "three feet."
I told my husband about the goof up and he overlayed the architect's revised autocad drawing onto his SketchUp drawing and noticed quite a few differences. On Sunday we went to the house and remeasured together; all measurements were within an inch of my husbands original. Unfortunately, the architect measurements we've been working with - four iterations of the floor plan and countless hours on my part - had an extra 8 inches across 29 foot width of the entire house.
Now, it may not sound like a lot, but we're trying to be as efficient as possible with this little house and those 8 inches have a pretty significant impact on our back to back bathrooms and trying to preserve a load bearing wall. Also, it seems the window placement we worked around for six weeks were so off they had to have been entered based on cell phone pics. The inaccurate placement of windows and doors and the 8 inch discrepancy has put us back to square one.
My husband is working in SketchUp right now and I think we've got it sorted out. We've paid them almost $1000 so far and as their billing cycle for Jan/Feb comes to a close we'll be getting another bill in about two weeks.
We're not sure how to proceed. Should we ask that they not bill us for time spent on the corrections? Should we stop working with them and just do the permit drawings ourselves? My husband is getting pretty good at SketchUp, but he is so busy with his job and traveling I had hoped a pro could save us time and spare my husband.
Sorry for the long post. If you made it this far, thank you so much for your time. Please share your thoughts.
Sounds like what is needed is a meeting with the architect to discuss and review matters. From your description, the architect is rounding dimensions and you are keeping dimensions to the nearest actual fractional dimension.
No one here will be able to know if there's really a problem or not.
Since you believe there is a problem, an immediate meeting is the best step for resolution.
Good luck on your project.
Are you SURE that you're dealing with an actual architect? No professional that I've ever worked with has ever "rounded up" numbers unless they're dealing with a square footage type of product overage thing. That is extremely odd.
I agree that an immediate meeting is needed to clarify the situation.
Just thought I'd post a follow up in case anyone is curious someday. The architect sincerely apologized for the errors and offered to make it right (remeasure, revise floor plan) or allow us to terminate with full refund.
They have been such nice people to work with, but we don't have any confidence in their attention to detail. We opted to terminate the contract with a 50% refund; I learned a lot from the experience and in spite of the errors do value their time and effort. We just couldn't in good conscience pay nothing.
I have since contacted another architect whose blog I follow and whose work I really appreciate, but they're booked out until may. Yikes!
Stay tuned. It looks like we're going to sort this little house's plan out by ourselves, using SketchUp and the wisdom of the GW community.
Thanks to all!
I just saw this and am shocked. I never heard of an architect that didn't shoot for accuracy. Inaccuracy is how you come across nightmares like the drawings that don't allow enough space for the door trim or drawer openings, etc. I'm glad that you are choosing someone else. If they are so lackadaisical about measurements then how sloppy will they be on the rest of the design, let alone communications. There are about 100,000 ways for problems to creep into the design/build process. Inattention to detail is a totally unnecessary one and doesn't belong.
