Outdoor Activities
»Silver Lake Reservoir
A manmade body of water and a site of a continuing wildlife preservation project, Silver Lake Reservoir has served joggers, walkers and dog owners for decades. A 2.15-mile path with a couple of ups and downs loops around the reservoir, consisting mostly of compacted dirt, highly suitable for running. A community center, a small basketball field and a specifically designated dog park flank the park on the south side so you can let your canine pals off the leash within the perimeter. A few folks, however, prefer to take their pups for a walk or a trot around the water. The idyllic aspect of the scene is somewhat lessened by the wire fence encircling the actual reservoir. Nevertheless, the place still gets a thumbs-up from many local jogging and fresh air enthusiasts as a pleasant site for a jog or a stroll. Parking along the reservoir remains ample throughout the day.
»Wilshire Country Club
This is one of the best designed, maintained and situated courses in the city. Although private, any golf fan should do what they can to find a member to tag along with. The greens are particularly immaculate, but the entire course is meticulously kept up. Much of the course was recently redone, making it significantly more challenging. A dress code is enforced and does not allow any casual dress. This is a private course. The green fees are subject to change.
»Roosevelt Municipal Golf Course
Another golf course in LA, a number of its nine holes lie in the shadow of the observatory. At 2,478 yards, this course is a rather long par three with a number of sand traps and plenty of trees along the fairways. To play you need to make a reservation well in advance. Rental clubs are available if needed.
»Los Feliz Municipal Golf Course
The popular nine-hole, par three Los Feliz Municipal Golf Course offers the ideal opportunity to either practice your short game or simply enjoy a modest golfing experience. Since being featured in the cult film Swingers, it has become a regular destination of locals, celebrities and tourists. The most prominent hazards are the numerous trees, which line every fairway. The greens tend to vary greatly in terms of slope and speed, which provides a great opportunity to brush up on your putting before venturing out onto the city's larger courses.
»Mount Lowe Railway Loop
Snaking along the site of the historical Mt Lowe Railway, this is one of the more scenic hikes in the outer Angeles Forest. This trail takes you on a full-day rigorous adventure, spanning 11 miles and ascending 2600 feet, mostly along a rugged road. You will pass thick forests and deep canyons and likely enjoy a few deer sightings. The hike offers many stunning vistas, as well as a few attractive shaded picnicking spots. An occasional info plaque gives insights into the fascinating history of the place. The loop culminates at the lofty Inspiration Point, where panoramic views reach as far as the ocean on a clear day. The trail is low on shade so arm yourself with a hat and plenty of water. Note that you will need to purchase a Day or Annual Pass from the ranger station or a Big 5 in order to park at the designated lot. - Jamie Zum
»The Galen Center
The Galen Center of University of South California, is one of the most popular indoor arena of California. With a capacity of over 10,000 people, this place has witnessed some of the most thrilling basketball matches. From sport events to social gatherings, this place has organized it all and is continuing to do so. Officially in operation since 2006, this center is definitely a feather in the hat for the city.
»Bronson Caves
Located in Griffith Park, Bronson Caves. also called Bronson Canyon, was created because of an old quarry dug in 1903 by the Union Rock Company in order to mine materials to use in building the surrounding streets. After the quarry closed in the 1920s, it became a spot for movie shoots because of its rocky and unique landscape. Scenes from Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Army of Darkness were shot here, as well as the original Batman TV show. The park has hiking trails, picnic tables and, of course, caves.
»Griffith Park
Spread over 4,210 acres (1704 hectares) of lush land, Griffith Park has something for everyone. Enjoy the nature, greenery and activities like hiking, walking, camping, swimming and tennis. The much-loved and renowned Hollywood Sign also lies within its premises. Attractions like the Greek Theatre, Griffith Observatory and the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens also are located within this humongous park. Picnic provisions are also available. Fun, educational and beautiful, Griffith Park is a must-visit.
»Exposition Park
Built for the 1932 Olympic games, Exposition Park is now a venue for many sports and cultural events. Originally known as 'Agricultural Park', it houses a sports arena, coliseum, museum, science center, a rose garden, a swimming stadium and Expo center. The Park is bustling with activities throughout the year with events like Annual Bug Fair and Science Camp. The Rose Garden can be hired for special events and the Coliseum hosts popular sports events. Check website for details.
»Sunset Ranch Hollywood
If you're an out-of-towner and miss riding the plains, you can cure your equestrian nostalgia by renting a horse and riding through the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park. There are plenty of options here, including one and two hour rides during the day for anyone over the age of seven. A very popular option is the Friday night moonlight ride. Just arrive for a three-hour round-trip ride, which culminates with dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant.
»La Brea Tar Pits
Once upon a time, Rancho La Brea or La Brea Tar Pits was only a Mexican land grant. Now a park, the tar pits have been the world's richest deposit of Ice Age fossils. More than 40,000 years ago mammoths, saber-toothed cats and dire wolves freely roamed the Los Angeles basin and became entrapped in the natural asphalt of the tar pits. During the summer months, visitors can observe the ongoing excavation from Pit 91. A visit to the on-site Page Museum is a must. Check website for further details.
»Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena are both located in Exposition Park and are adjacent to the campus of the University of Southern California. The Coliseum has hosted the Olympics twice (in 1932 and 1984) and Super Bowl I in 1967. Seating over 93,000 people, the Coliseum is currently the home of the USC Trojans football team. The Olympic Cauldron is still lit here during the fourth quarter of USC football games. The Sports Arena was at one time the home of both the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and the USC Trojans men's and women's basketball teams. Today, it hosts a variety of live entertainment events.

Water damage below apron front sink?
We have had our new cabinets for about a month now, and last night I noticed water damage on the front of the sink base. It looks like water is dripping down the door and a small part of the frame and causing the paint to bubble and lift. Has anybody had this problem? I have some of the paint so I know I can fix the current damage with a fine grit sand paper and a coat of paint, but I am wondering how I can prevent further damage?
We keep an eye on the area after doing dishes (most are done in the dishwasher anyway), and wipe the cabinets regularly, so this damage must have been casued by very small amounts of water. I am surprised to see it after such a short amount of time! I am wondering if there is something not so great about the paint used..
More than a few threads on this topic here.
The paint finish does sound like it's an issue. However, some people have reported their sink cabinet doors actually warping after just a few months.
Two things to try. Leave a terry towel draped across the front of the sink to catch splashes. And install a drip rail below the sink on the rail above the door. It needs to be routered underneath, where you can't see it, to interrupt water as it flows over the rail and make it fall to the floor. Most people just use a piece of bullnose trim for the drip rail, although it can be integral to the sink, stained wood or sometimes made of the countertop stone.

Maples for my area
Has anyone in my area bought and successfully grown a maple from my area. The colors are not too important to me but I do not want the same red shades as my cherry tree that it will be next to. One that leans towards keeping its leaves all year would be preferable, and hearty, not too delicate.
It will be in a raised, opened bottom, 2 foot wide planter against the west side of a fence.
I want it about 15 feet tall, with a 5 ft wide canopy if possible.
I would like to try an online vendor and am wondering if anyone knows of a good reputable one in California, local? Thanks in advance
California is a BIG state with a lot of different growing conditions......where are you located? Maples can be grown in virtually any climate, but I'm getting the impression you are looking for a Japanese or other Asian maple, which offer less versatility. Especially in SoCal with pretty intense summer heat, drought and more alkaline growing conditions.
One sign that these types of trees will do well for you is to see if they are being sold at your local retail nursery or garden center (not the box store!). I've attached link for one of the better mail order sources for your area.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pacific Coast Maples
Thanks for getting back to me. I am located in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula, where we have foggy summers, that go long to indian summers, a week or two of 90's, dew almost every morning, and it drops down to 20 F on the coldest winter night, a rare temperature.
The tree will have morning shade/afternoon sun due to the fence.
I have narrowed it down to some I found on a site. I am also posting this in the California forum. I have heard fall colors are rare in mild climates. Any experience on that? Are these authentic names, or varieties created by this specific grower? Do the uprights I have listed spread wide, prunable?
Any experience with these in California?
ACER japonicum Vitifolium
ACER palmatum Beni kawa; is this tree upright?
ACER palmatum Katsura; looks a bit bushy in pictures. Easy to prune?
ACER palmatum Ki hachijo; is it a canopy tree?
ACER palmatum Osakazuki
ACER palmatum Sango kaku
ACER palmatum Seiryu
Acer palmatum Summer Gold
ACER shirasawanum Autumn Moon
Acer Shirasawanum Moonrise
Those are all real trees with real names :-)
If you are new to JM's, I'd avoid Beni Kawa and Sango Kaku. The red barked maples tend to be on the higher end of disease issues (especially in damp and/or humid climates) and maybe not the best choices for beginners. Katsura, Ki Hachijo, and Seiryu all have a more shrubby or bushy growth habit. I'd not recommend pruning necessarily to alter that - it's just the way they are. Osakazuki is an excellent canopy tree and with the best fall color of just about any JM. Not grown Summer Gold myself but it should be a scaled down version of Osakazuki, at least in form.
The two shirasawanums may experience leaf scorch in much afternoon sun. Ideally, all of these trees would prefer the opposite siting - morning sun/afternoon shade - especially in CA, but the deeper green or red leaved choices should be OK with adequate irrigation.
ALL named Japanese maples are grafted. Seedlings can only be just the straight Acer palmatum or Acer palmatum var. dissectum but never a named form (or cultivar like 'Osakazuki'). As a result, their size, leaf shape and leaf coloring is undetermined. If you want Osakazuki, look for a grafted tree only.

Oh Lord What Do I Do Now
Hitting your knees and bowing down
Crying 'Oh lord what do I do now '?
I have fallen and I can't get up
Now I'm coming to you to lend me a hand
cause I know you've always been there to
Help me take a stand.
My heart is broken and My nerves are shot
my spirit is worn and I'm here in a spot
That I can't get out of to save my life so
I'm begging you to help my wife. She's
laid up in the bed sick to death so badly
Ill almost loosing her breath. Her eyes
are red her body's cold, her legs are
Shivering cause their almost froze. She coughs
every minute and the thermometer goes red
her heads aching so bad it's wonder her hair
Don't shed. I took her to the doctor and they said
'We'll keep her overnight and run some test
And see if we can get her back at her best.
But the doctors only know what a book tells
them so I'm coming to you lord cause I know
You can fix the problem. Let the doctors say
she's back in good health cause it ain't like I'm
Sitting here with a pocket full of wealth. Lord if it
be in your will make it to where she don't need
Them pills. Please help her be able to walk again
Like before this sickness came in. Lord I know you
can show them doctors how so help me cause I don't
Know what to do now.

First Congregational Church celebrates its sesquicentennial
As the American Civil War took its bloody toll in the East, out West in Walla Walla, steps were being taken to form a local Congregational Church dedicated to faith and service to mankind. The Rev. Peasley Chamberlain, the church's first minister, wrote that he was somehow drawn to the Valley.
Saving Lincoln
WALLA WALLA — Built in 1927, Paine Elementary School, also known as Lincoln High School, was a good representation of schools of the era. The brick work and fenestration (design and placement of windows and doors) contain appealing elements of neoclassical architecture, according to a 2013 Lincoln Alternative High School Report that studied the feasibility of keeping the structure.

Wildhorse fireworks burn away worries of rain
The rain clouds that had hugged the Blue Mountain all afternoon had finally moseyed over to Wildhorse Resort & Casino, bringing healthy gusts. But that wasn't about to stop master pyrotechnician and Homeland Fireworks owner Bruce Lawson from creating another special fireworks extravaganza for the resort's 19th anniversary on March 8.
Alzheimer's buddy program pairs patients, students
In the program, first-year students are matched with patients, based on common interests.
CHICAGO — At age 80, retired Chicago physician and educator Dan Winship is getting a bittersweet last chance to teach about medicine — only this time he's the subject. In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, Winship is giving a young medical student a close-up look at a devastating illness affecting millions of patients worldwide.

A fly for any occasion
Dale McKain's techniques for fly-tying are as varied as the insects his flies represent.
"Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers," Patrick McManus wrote in "Never Sniff a Gift Fish." "Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary." In Dale McKain's case, it wasn't lack of funds that drove him tying flies for fishing, it was a lack of access.
Visions of the future
A tour of Walla Walla's public schools reveals a district with forward-looking programs, but outdated facilities.
WALLA WALLA — Despite the floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall, the physics lab at Walla Walla High School is underlit. Bundles of wires and powerstrips dangle from the room's computers and the six lab tables in the middle of the room leave little room for anything else.
Circus love
Lizzy Harvey shares her love for circus arts to instill confidence and self-trust in youths.
WALLA WALLA — Evelyn Sisk, or "Evi," could not be more clear why she's enrolled in Walla Walla Parks and Recreation's "Circus Arts" class. "I was really interested in the circus," the 9 year-old explained. "I wanted to be interactive with people older than me … and I really wanted to learn to do flips."

Officials deny national report that Wisconsin's budget is in dire straits
State officials deny that Wisconsin's budget is in dire straits. And they take issue with a report from yesterday that Wisconsin and Illinois share the nation's ninth-worst budget crisis.
The Pew Center on the States said Wisconsin is just as bad off as California, which is on the brink of insolvency.
The report said Wisconsinites can expect even fewer social services, higher college tuition, and more state employee furloughs at the very least.

- Description
Natural 100% Oats and Whey is a light meal replacement powder made without the use of artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Each serving supplies 200 calories including 24 grams from a whey protein blend and 22 grams of carbohydrates including whole grain oats and honey powder of which 4 grams of that comes from fiber.
Oats and Whey are fundamental elements of an athlete's diet. Naturally low in sugar, Oats supply slow-burning complex carbohydrates and hunger-filling dietary fiber. Whey proteins are readily digested and provide considerable amounts of essential amino acids (EAAs) especially the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Natural 100% Oats & Whey combines the benefits of these nutritional powerhouses in a smooth, drinkable shake that's quick to prepare and equally easy to clean up after. Each serving packs in 24 grams of all-whey protein and as much fiber as a big bowl of oatmeal. Better yet, it tastes great, and it goes down easy. As the name suggests, Natural 100% Oats & Whey is free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and synthetic colors. So naturally, it's great for breakfast, after workouts, and any time that you're looking for an on-the-go meal.
Beyond The Basics
- No Artificial Flavors or Sweeteners
- No Synthetic Colors
- Made with Whole Grain Oats Supplying 4 Grams of Dietary Fiber
- 24 Grams of All-Whey Protein
- Packed with Premium Whey Protein Isolates (WPI)
- Smooth, Drinkable Consistency

It's a good protein, for a good price!!!!

Mixes very well. I like it rather thick to enhance the flavor. But, very good product.

Great product! It mixes well and has a great taste.
(Posted on 3/22/2012)
Wow I'm surprised no one has commented on this great product. Oats and whey is just that crushed oats with whey protien, plus a hefty dose of vitamins, aminos, etc., to serve as an ideal mrp. It mixes easily, goes down smooth, and tastes good enough. It leaves you feeling full and satisfied for several hours. It's also 100% natural no artificials. ON has won my attention with another great product.

Okay, the old thread for my skull bonchis was getting pretty long and unwieldy, so I'll just start a new one.
Its been trimmed back a couple times now, and is spending its day on a shelf in front of a south facing window with lots of high powered daylight CFLs on timers over it. I'd say its finally starting to really take on the kind of shape that I wanted.
I might even let these flowers open up and pollinate, see how it looks with fruit hanging from the branches.
Looks to me like you already gots two fruit hanging from the branches. Little ones, UL. (or are those buds?)
That fatalii.net site has some pepper bonchis. Nothing as dark as your twisted brain has conceived, but still...
Did you manage to do anything with that wall casting?
Those are just buds. I've been picking them off this one up until now because I wanted it to put more energy into getting leafed out fully. Now that it more or less has, I can let it take a swing at some pods.
Haven't done anything with the egyptian stuff yet other than get a semi-matching vase to go with it.
Yes, that looks like an exceedingly healthy plant for one grown indoors. Even outdoors. It turned into a great and successful project for you and you should be proud. Most any grower would be happy with the results.
Any new adjustments planned or is it now in its "final" configuration with just trimmings and such planned?
Keep up the occasional updates. I am sure others enjoy them as much as I do.
For now I'm just going to see about shaping the canopy however it wants to grow itself. Trick now is mainly just pruning off the biggest leaves and cutting off the growing tips of the branches to force them to bush out. Going to have to let the branches grow longer than they are now before I do that again though. Its still a pepper, can't bunch the leaves up TOO tightly.
7-Pot Douglah. Nice medium sized maroon pods.
Its been trimmed since that last photo and is currently bushing out again.
Status update on some of my other ones:
This one isn't really living up to my expectations, but it was a pretty wild idea to start with. I'll give it another year or two and see if there's any hope.
Main Bhut:
This one is the first bhut jolokia I ever grew. Will be it's third season next year. Sorry for the whited out photo, but you couldn't see the trunk otherwise.
Second Halloween:
This is one of the second generation Halloween peppers I grew this year. This one I didn't try to shape at all and just let it grow however it wanted all season long. The results ended up rather nice.
Skull Mountain:
Bushing back out after it's trimming a week or two ago. Complete with photo bombing cat for erm, size reference?

The recommended starting dose for treating erectile dysfunction is Cialis 10 mg, taken one hour prior to sexual activity. However, one may take the medication anywhere from 1 hour to 36 hours before sexual activity. Depending on how well it works and whether one experience any side effects, your healthcare provider may increase or decrease your Cialis dosage. The maximum dose is 20 mg.
Alternatively, Cialis can be taken on a daily basis (every single day, whether you plan sexual activity or not). For this use, the recommended dose is Cialis 2.5 mg once daily, taken at the same time each day (it does not matter when you plan to have sexual activity if you take Cialis this way). If the 2.5-mg daily dosage does not seem to be working well enough, your healthcare provider may increase the Cialis dose to 5 mg every day.
This unfortunately did not answer my question. I know that it may be taken every day whether you plan on sexual activity or not. My question is may it be taken just as needed before sexual activity like the 10mg. if you are using the 5mg. capsule? I don't want to take it every day as it is too expensive. I want to take it only when planning sexual activity.
Please read " The recommended starting dose for treating erectile dysfunction is Cialis 10 mg, taken one hour prior to sexual activity." Which was the first line of my answer, sorry for not having explained.

Hobby Lobby Plans To Defy Health Care Mandate
By editor
Originally published on Tue January 1, 2013 8:44 am
This New Year could mean a new cost for the craft store chain Hobby Lobby. The federal health care law requires employee insurance plans to cover emergency contraceptives. Hobby Lobby's owners did not want to do that. They say drugs commonly known by names like the morning-after pill are tantamount to abortion.
Now, the Supreme Court has turned aside Hobby Lobby's request to block the mandate. So, starting today, the company could be fined as much as $1.3 million per day for defying the law.

A Social License To Operate: Overcoming the Culture Clash
The takeover of a public park in Turkey to build a shopping mall. The raising of the public bus fare in Brazil. The government closing Greece's major newspaper. What do these events have in common with the Keystone XL pipeline proposal? The authorities in these situations made a decision to impose a project solution without talking with the people who would be affected by the decision.
The Turkish government decided to take over a small public park to build a shopping mall without seeking input/feedback from the community. In Brazil, raising the bus fares (mostly affecting poor people) seemed to be a reasonable approach to raise revenues for the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympic Games. In Greece, the shutdown of the government newspaper and the firing of a couple of dozen workers were done to demonstrate austerity to the European Union.
In the United States, the route of the Keystone pipeline, proposed to carry tar sand oil from Alberta, Canada, to Houston for refining, was planned to run across Nebraska's Ogallala aquifer and sandhills, which are sacred cultural icons.
The problem? These decisions were made from the top-down on the basis of internal considerations, revealing a lack of capacity for dealing with emerging social realities across the globe. The decision makers neglected to understand that citizen engagement is a key to business success in today's volatile world, where people are insisting on managing, predicting, and controlling their environments.
Small acts that seem inconsequential to government and industry can spark revolts and reactions that, in the cases of Turkey, Brazil, and Greece, have the potential to bring down the governments. The Keystone project could be lost because of the groundswell against the project stimulated by the routing mistake.
Ten years ago, in a more formally structured world, these decisions would not have mattered. These days, when citizen resistance and mobilization are becoming routine and global, these decisions matter.
The JKA (James Kent Associates) Group has been tracking this emerging global trend for 30 years and has termed it "citizen-based stewardship." It refers to citizens who claim ownership of geographic places and take it upon themselves, with or without government or corporate partners, to ensure that their families and communities are healthy and safe.
Transmission line corridors, alternative energy sites, and the proliferation of oil and gas development have improved our energy outlook, but have also affected people across the US. In particular, the hydrofracturing of wells for natural gas production has caused concerns in recent years. It is not difficult for a concerned public to find cause for alarm. The fracturing issue has now fused in national perception and become widespread throughout hydrofracturing areas, while also spreading turmoil to more traditional oil and gas activities.
Resistance has developed because much of the hydrofracturing is being done in geographic areas where citizens are not familiar with fossil fuel development. Their cultural experience and practices have done little to prepare them for the onslaught of drilling activity. When people have no mechanism in their daily lives to deal with intrusive change, their only avenue for relief is reaction and resistance. Studies such as the one cited earlier add fuel to the fire when the development company has no citizen connections or engagements to rely on for interpretation of the findings. With no mechanism for communicating, the company is vulnerable not only to local resistance, but also to national groups that will use these studies to benefit their causes.
The top-down approach to project design is still in place. Projects are designed by engineers from locations miles away from the site. It is common practice to expend extensive engineering effort early in a project during the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase. This design process leads to only the technical issues being addressed. The engineering culture wants the design firmly in place, with all the technical details worked out, before going public for review.
Companies prefer to hold their cards close to their chests to avoid revealing information to residents who they fear could stimulate conflict. For example, the people who negotiate the rights-of-way for projects have an incentive to keep things quiet while they interact with landowners. Public relations personnel recognize that failure to be transparent invites suspicion and mistrust, yet they are constrained by corporate cultures that emphasize control of the development process.
Such approaches are no longer productive or profitable. Corporate neglect of citizen engagement is a costly affair for everyone.
Clash of Two Cultures
The situations described illustrate cultural clashes between the communities' horizontally organized systems vs. the corporations' vertically organized authority—clashes of perceptions and practices. The community is oriented to caretaking and survival, and the industry is oriented to economic gain.
In this article, we show that the cultural clash is not inevitable. The two systems must come into harmony if the oil and gas industry is to remain productive and profitable. When dealing with communities, it is essential to recognize that the adage "one size fits all" is not applicable. Just as each project is technically different, each community is different—with different histories, beliefs, and issues.
In any cultural system, life is predictable through routines and language. As change occurs, people need time to adjust within their cultural settings. People continually deal with emerging issues and solve them. It is when there is intrusion, without recognition of how the culture has previously handled change, that projects are at risk.
The old (traditional) approach is to design in isolation, propose the design, and then defend it against opposition. This approach is depicted as a wedge into the community, fostering disruption and mistrust, and creating local issues. If these issues go unresolved, they offer outside groups the opportunity to take advantage of unresolved citizen issues in the pursuit of their own agendas, leading to formal opposition groups such as occurred with the Keystone XL pipeline project.
The new model gives residents a voice and emotional ownership, which, in turn, gives the company a social license to operate. If intentional efforts are made to resolve legitimate citizen issues early in the design stage and to optimize the local benefits of a project, citizen ownership through absorption will serve as a buffer for the project against outside forces.
Preventing the Escalation of Emerging Issues
The key to understanding culture from a practical point is to learn about the issues that are currently present in the community or that the project may create. Community issues do not begin as uncontrollable events that are guaranteed to stop projects. Instead, they emerge as legitimate questions that citizens have about a proposed project.
It is not the case that the local community has formed a steadfast or universal opinion. Rather, people are simply seeking answers to basic questions, including: What will this project do to my property value? Will it increase traffic? How will it affect air and water quality? How many people will be hired locally? Will the project enhance the growth of local businesses? Will community- based training programs or college curriculums be offered to prepare our citizens and youth for employment and advancement opportunities? Will the company ensure local benefits from the project, such as reduced electric rates? Will there be assistance for establishing businesses to service the project?
When the basic questions are not addressed, emerging issues can easily escalate to actual ones. By this point, people have formed their own opinions, and the community dialogue changes from seeking information to developing positions. The questions turn to negative statements, such as: This project will ruin our property values. The traffic and noise from this project will be unbearable. Children and seniors with asthma will suffer, and the incidence of cancer will increase. They will not be contracting or hiring locally. Local businesses will not benefit from this project and may actually lose revenue. The skills necessary for employment are beyond most of our citizens. The company just wants to exploit our community for profits.
These sentiments may not be based on facts, but, without community engagement, perception becomes reality.
If the actual issues are not addressed effectively, events will only become worse. Community opposition is often joined by opportunistic ideological groups, followed by political positioning. Polarized positions are taken toward the project, and the opposition quickly moves it into a disruption. By this point, the project proponent has virtually lost the ability to resolve the individual and community issues. The issues that could have been resolved, had the citizens been engaged in the early phases, are taken over by outside forces who oppose development at anytime, anywhere.
The Solution: The Social Ecology Approach
The social ecology approach involves attention to the community on three concepts: a descriptive approach for understanding informal networks and their routines; understanding human geography, or the ways that residents relate to their neighborhood and community areas; and issue management, which creates alignment between citizen interests and company interests. Social ecology is a science of community based on cultural processes operating in any geographic area or in any resource company.
The following five rules help in gaining an understanding of local cultural issues:
- You, as a project proponent and an outsider and guest of the community, have a responsibility to learn about the community before acting.
- People know more about their environment than anyone else. It is the job of the project manager to bring forward this knowledge and perception to make use of it.
- The project proponent must ensure that citizens can predict, control, and manage changes in their environment so that the effects of the project are absorbed into the fabric of the community and the benefits are optimized.
- People trust day-to-day and face-to-face communication, which is essential if the project is going to fit the community.
- Whoever understands the human and physical geography that creates the community's sense of place controls the project outcome.
Procedures to implement the five rules of culture change are:
- Contact and engage with citizens early to avoid surprises. Community engagement must be at parity with technical disciplines in tactical and strategic project decision making. For example, extensive technical work during FEED should be accompanied by extensive community engagement.
- The objective of early engagement with the community should be learning. Learn the informal networks of a community and its communication patterns as the basis for engagement. Learn the language that people use to communicate on a routine basis and use that in project development language.
- Engage the affected people directly. Do not rely on formal groups or stakeholders in understanding community interests. Do not use public meetings as a means of initial citizen contact. Use the gathering places of a community to foster effective project communication and as a means to become an insider to the culture.
- Understand human geographic mapping systems that reflect cultural boundaries, or the ways that people identify and relate with their landscape, to foster responsive siting of facility and corridor projects.
- Deal with citizen issues at the emerging stage of development when the costs of time and resources are lowest, rather than allowing issues to reach the disruptive stages.
- Make use of local company staff, when possible, at the design and implementation stages and provide management support in assisting them to create an approach from the bottom to the top.
The social risk to project success has become too great for the oil and gas industry not to recognize formally and systematically act upon the underlying causes of how citizens' participation often moves from support to active opposition. Whether the project is on public or private land, it deserves this level of attention.
Because community relations are now linked to project success, upfront engineering should include upfront community assessment and the establishment of an informal word-of-mouth communication system. Knowing about culture and its influences on citizen behavior presents a creative and successful way for industry leaders to steer their projects around pitfalls and other surprises that cause delays or stop projects altogether.
Understanding the culture of a community facilitates collaboration in a manner that directly benefits the citizens and keeps a project on schedule, saving time and money. The true currency of the present and future is the sustained goodwill that a project creates and maintains with the communities it affects.

Hi, I'm an archaeologist living in Williamsburg. I am fortunate to work with like-minded individuals, but it would great to meet some socially outside of work too.
Enjoyed meeting the folks I got to talk to, hope to meet more of you next time.

Gorgeous bag with a couple of problemsFirst off, this bag is gorgeous. Awesome design and beautiful details, really well made. That said, I disagree with the previous reviewers in that I would not use this for the gym or going to yoga. It's not made for that. And it is too big to be a regular day-to-day bag. In my opinion, I can really only see this being used for a winter overnight or weekend stay somewhere in the mountains. The first problem with this bag is that it is too big. If it was just sized down proportionally, I would be carrying this everywhere for the winter! Secondly, because of its size and the materials used, the bag itself has some weight to it. Once you started added items to it, you will not want to be carrying this around for long. Still it's absolutely gorgeous and totally unique. I am going back and forth on returning it only because I hate to think I'd only use it once every blue moon. It just is not as practical or as useful as I was hoping it would be. But I'm still on the fence, so we'll see!
great and biggg!!!The bag is great good quality and good design. Looks better than in the picture. Its really big, but great for me cause im using as a replacement diaper bag that goes well with anything
Great weekend bagI fell in love with this bag in the store, but could not justify the purchase. The minute it went on sale, I grabbed it. It is a considerable size. This is NOT a purse. I use it for quick weekend get aways or for a night on the boat. It would be great for a yoga/gym bag. It is well made and has a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry. It looks like a bag you would purchase while on vacation in some faraway land.

Versatile!I really don't know how anybody could not love this pouch. I am not certain I would use it as old hurts but I certainly have found several uses for it from my make up two bills and Corning's to carry within my purse. I have purchased close to 10 of them for just about every female friend I have. Everyone I gave them to loves them and using them proudly displaying their initial in tasteful bling. II even bought one for my best friend who happens to be a puppy to keep her toothpaste and toothbrush inside.....yes this pouch has many uses and works for everybody :-)
Cute for GiftsI bought these for my nieces for Christmas. As with many Miss Albright items, these are so cute and unique. The details are beaded, jeweled, and embroidered. I may buy some to put away for people for next year!
Great gift...for yourself or someone else!These unique wristlets come exactly as described. Each one was well put together, which is exactly what you want with such fine detailing. These make a perfect gift you can easily put your cell phone and credit cards in while fitting in most handbags or on their own.

Beautiful designI love the look and feel of this bag - the leather is good quality and the beading stunning. I also love the fact that you can wear it over your shoulder, as I find clutches a nightmare to handle when you have food in one hand and a glass in the other at a party. However when I got it home and examined it more carefully, I realized that 4 or 5 of the "stones" had just fallen out of their settings. There is a small bag of spare beads included with it, but not enough of this particular "stone" , so my first thought was, oh well, I'll have to go and return it. However I found an alternative, and just removed the empty settings by carefully clipping the threads that still held them in place. The beading is so dense that their absence is really not noticeable at all, and the bag looks just as gorgeous. The stitching holding the beads in place seams to be fine - the metal clasps holding the glass stones in place are just not tight enough. If more stones fall out, I intend just removing more of the metal settings!
great bagI love this bag. I have not had any problems with stones falling off and surprisingly it does not seem to pick at clothes which I was worried about. Looks super cute with jeans! Highly recommend.

Nice bag!I wanted a fancy bag that I could use to go out to dinner with friends, to a wedding or with jeans when I felt in a funky mood and this bag fits the bill! It's a nice size and has a chain so it can be worn as a clutch or shoulder bag. I love the stones and sequins and have been very pleased with the purchase.
Versatile, dressy bagI had been eyeing this bag for months and bought it after the holidays when it went on sale. It's a very sparkly, beaded bag and can dress up a casual outfit or be worn with dresses. The one thing to be wary of, though, is the beads and bag itself are a bit heavy to begin with, and the chain strap that comes with it is more delicate and can't hold a lot of weight. So keep the contents in the purse to a minimum or the chain will break (mine did, but I was able to exchange the bag!). I am now hoping to find a sturdier chain to use with it for extra support to wear it over the shoulder.
Jeweled mosaic beautifulThe sparkling of jewels is beautiful and makes this bag an eye-catcher. Though the bag itself is soft, and the structure is not hard enough to sustain the shape while you put it on, unless you have more stuff inside the bag. It is a bit heavy, and chain doesn't seem strong enough to hold it long.

one of a kindOkay so my suggestion before buying this product is go to an anthropologie store so you know what to expect. I loved the Jasper&Jeera cases but was unsure which design I wanted so I went to the store to check them out- this one isn't sold in stores, but I got a good idea of what to expect when I picked this cobalt blue case. The leather has been bound around a plastic frame - this means that it had to be cut and pulled to fit correctly and not add bulk. The case is completely sleek- but in the whole for the camera lens, the cuts are not curved but rather a series of straight line cuts (thing of an oval-shaped hexagon instead of a true oval). This is true of EVERY Jasper&Jeera case, as I inspected all of the ones sold in my local store. But the case is sleek, lightweight, and I love the embroidery. It adds design and texture without bulk, as many textured cases do. Overall, a winner! Just know what to expect.

Simply ExcellentThis bag has it all. It's very stylish, hip. The leather is of high quality and the embossing creates a great texture. The inside is fully lined, with different pockets for different things (phone, small docs, one with a zipper and even a hook for your keys) . I love this color in general because it goes with any color you wear. I get a lot of compliments on this bag and just love it.

airplane trip saverI fly from Arizona to D.C. several times a year. I bought both colors for both my daughter and myself. This product prevents me from being tethered to the phone charging chairs at the airports. After having bought both colors, it is so easy to just reach in my bag to pull out the second one to use. This product is lightweight, comvenient to use, and the colors are true to picture. Each battery comes with its own charger. On long shopping days these are also "life savers". No worries about always looking for a table at a coffee shop near an electrical outlet. No more cell phone cords getting tangled in my purse. I know when I leave my house, whether for a long day of work, or a spur of moment overnight trip, I will NEVER have to say "Oh no, I left my charger at home!

When it comes to riding flat pedals good shoes are absolutely essential, and the undisputed king of the flat pedal shoe market is Five Ten. Although their Impact models are popular with the pure gravity set, trail riders have opted for the skate shoe styled Freerider. Other brands have tried to topple Five Ten from their throne, but thus far no-one has been able to match their combination of comfort, durability and, most importantly, grip.

What flooring is underneath your dishwasher?
Currently the dishwasher just sits on the slab. Is this normal? I don't think there's any tile underneath the cabinets as well. The little bit that I've read online says some kind of barrier should be laid down underneath dishwasher.
The big thing with flooring and dishwashers is that you don't want to put flooring (like tile) in front of it, or you'll have a heck of a time getting it out.
Typically whatever flooring is visible also goes under any appliance that can be removed - fridge, DW, range.
Annkh is right about that. Prior to our remodel, there was a parquet wood floor in our kitchen that had been installed by the previous owner. When the dishwasher stopped working and we had to replace it, it was a nightmare getting it out. The installer actually had to saw the old dishwasher into 2 pieces and he and my husband had to wiggle it out to remove it.
We've replaced our dishwasher a couple of times since we bought the house so fortunately it hasn't been difficult to get it out. But I think this is one reason why our dishwasher has never fit properly regardless what brand we've purchased. Currently have a Thermador & my goal is to have it be seamless with the new cabinets. I need to discuss this w/ our contractor in case we need to install tile underneath. Annkh, now that you mention it, we do have tile under other appliances. Wonder why the tile wasn't installed originally? Go figure.... Anyway, thanks for the opinions!
Good for you, Angie. I'm dealing with that nightmare. My entire downstairs is tiled with a tile that I actually like, but they tiled with the cabinets in place and I don't have enough tile to cover the whole floor if I reconfigure the kitchen, and of course the tile is discontinued, so I'll have to redo the entire downstairs and rip up plenty of perfectly good tile when I do the kitchen, since we'll be removing a peninsula. (Can't find remnant tile that matches well enough, and I've tried all the places that do discontinued tile.)
My dishwasher is trapped by tile in front of it, too.
Perhaps your DW was installed at some later time than the rest of the kitchen appliances and cabinets? Do you cabinets have floor under them, or just slab? (I would suspect, if you don't know for sure, that what happened was they installed cabinets on slab, including a cabinet the size of a future DW, then put the tile in. Then, they decided they wanted a DW, took out that one cabinet, and slid in the DW, but didn't patch the floor under it.)
Our house was built with asphalt tile throughout and no DW. A DW was added right before it was sold to us. We eventually added a vinyl floor which caused a height discrepancy with the DW, but it wasn't too bad. We later added a wood floor and the discrepancy caused a problem - not to the extent we had to cut the old DW out, but close. When we renovated last year, we started over with the floor and now the existing floor (bamboo) runs under the DW. Much better.
If you mean your DW is sitting on a cement slab, I don't think that's a functional problem for you as long as your other flooring is thin. If you ever want to have a tile or wood floor though, then you'd have a problem. Unless it runs under the cabinets or the cabs are raised to same height with plywood, you'll have issues with DW replacement (it will be down in a well) and with too-low toe kicks and counter height.
Instead of tile or wood flooring you can put plywood under the DW as long as it is the same height as the tile/wood floor in front of the DW.
When we bought the house, the DW was on the slab with tile in front. But what prevented us from being able to remove the DW even after adjusting the legs was the tile counter that was installed with a lip over the edge. As lazygardens pointed out, it may be possible but not easy with one, but with both, we were stuck. When we redid the kitchen, tiled with extra tile where we could and floated the floor in the back where we couldn't. Since then, we replaced the floor with hardwood (the tile guys did a terrible job with the patches that showed -- and were uneven and cracked. Not wanting the wood underneath, we left the tile under the DW, but it is still level and we can easily remove for repair or replacement.

hmm... maybe you are not using mouse to maneuver? Ehen doing that, the cam is static behind the ship, and for areas that don't have a "floor-grid" there simply is no way to tell if you are level except to release a mouse-button and turn the cam to get a sideways view.
