This post is part of a series from leaders who spoke at our Women's Leadership Forum in 2013. Kathy Ferguson Litton spoke to ministry wives on the topic of being authentic. This post relates to ALL women! "Inexperienced in the art of acting", the words grabbed me. Why?

Team meeting a snoozefest? Fix it!
I sat in a meeting recently with owners and key leadership team members from several successful veterinary clinics. During one of the breaks, I overheard one of the practice owners say, "I dread that one day a month we have to have a staff meeting." He went on to tell the colleague standing next to him, "I can't imagine having to be in your clinic and having to have a meeting every week. That sounds just awful."
I wish I could say I was surprised by these comments, but unfortunately I hear them more times than not. These meetings can be awful if they're boring. We once had a manufacturing representative come in with a canned presentation, and he went over the scheduled time by 45 minutes. I knew nothing was getting accomplished and I could feel the tension in the room as the boredom built. I had to cut the person off.
Let me set the record straight: Don't organize meetings just so you can say you did. I agree with the naysayers. They can be expensive, they can take up valuable appointment time, and if not led correctly they can turn into complaining sessions.But you can turn those around into productive, enjoyable meetings by making some major changes.
Awaken to the power of pre-planning
Success or failure of a team meeting will be defined days before the meeting ever starts. Laying a foundation and picking concrete goals and objectives are critical steps that must be taken. The organizer needs a realistic schedule and a focused agenda of topics to cover. (Go to http://dvm360.com/MeetingAgenda for two examples from my practice.) I know what you 're thinking: "That sounds too corporate." But not having a plan is going to get you back to the days of wishing you never had meetings at all.
Starting the meeting off right is critical. Set clear expectations for staff behavior. Let the team know that attendance is mandatory, that cell phones should be turned off and ignored, and that only appropriate subjects will be addressed.
Location is important, too. Some of you will find that the reception area or the treatment area is no longer conducive to an effective and efficient team meeting. Forget office phones ringing off the hook—dogs barking, IV pumps beeping, and UPS deliveries will compound the distractions. Look for some affordable alternatives that will aid in your success. Mid-tier hotels, pizza joints with party rooms, and civic clubs can be viable, cheap alternatives to your building.
Rise up with a great agenda
The next crucial step is assuring that the meeting plan fits the group. Yes, you might think it would be great to start a monthly wellness plan in your clinics, but developing a new service in a team meeting of 25 won't be successful.
A better way to tackle wellness plans might be to ask team members to read an article before the meeting on the importance of monthly wellness plans and then breaking out in groups to brainstorm ideas to implement the plan.
Meetings with the entire staff are best reserved for discussions for consistency and clarity—getting everyone on the same page. This is the time to review decisions, celebrate successes, and learn from generalized mistakes without finger pointing. These all-hands meetings are good times for educating staff on new medical and office topics and products available and, of course, getting through the never-ending list of housekeeping items.

I've been negligent in posting about the new All Star format for this season, so here's a piece from Adam Kimelman at NHL.com on the newest concept to revive the game...
"A new format for this year's festivities will see the conference vs. conference approach replaced by a player draft, conducted by the All-Star players themselves, to determine the rosters for each team.
The 2011 NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft will be Friday, Jan. 28, to kick off All-Star Weekend, which will be hosted for the first time by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Captains for each side will select from a pool of players chosen by a combination of fan balloting and the NHL Hockey Operations Department. The change in format is a joint effort by the League and the NHL Players' Association."
...not a big fan of gimmicks (although I am a fan of the shootout, so who knows) but the player draft should pretty intense.
...i also like that the teams will be named Wales and Campbell. Sort of doesn't make sense with players not playing for their conference anymore but still a big fan.

complete lunacy. Fans shouldn't vote for starters, there should be some sort of contest. The writers should pick the starters and the players. This system is terrible.

Measuring Agile Performance with the Agile Triangle
Traditional software development teams are supposed to work within the confines of the software 'Iron triangle'. The three sides of the triangle are Scope, Schedule and Cost. Since Agile places a lot of emphasis on quality, it is often considered a dimension which sits at the middle of the triangle. For any project to succeed there is a need to manoeuvre one of the dimensions keeping the others relatively constant. Most Agile teams vary the scope and keep a tab on Cost, Schedule and Quality.
Jim Highsmith suggested that the Iron triangle, imposes a lot of constraints on the flexibility of the Agile teams and suggested an alternate Agile Triangle.
According to Jim,
Many agile teams are now caught in a dilemma. On one hand they are told to be agile, flexible, and adaptable, but on the other they are told to conform to pre-planned traditional Iron Triangle framework of scope, schedule, and cost. In essence they are being told "be flexible in a very small box." Agile teams are striving to meet one set of goals and managers and executives are measuring against another set.
Jim suggested that the Agile triangle consists of the following vertices
- Value – to the customer in terms of current releasable product.
- Quality – continuous delivery of value to the customer in terms of reliable, adaptable product.
- Constraints - the traditional scope, schedule, and cost.
He suggested that though the constraints are important project parameters but they are not the goal of the project. He added that,
Value and Quality are the goals and constraints may need to be adjusted as the project moves forward to increase customer value. Schedule might still be a fixed constraint, but then scope could be adjusted to deliver the highest value within the schedule constraint.
Jim also suggested that the focus of development should be on the releasable product rather than the implemented scope. Agile teams should ask the question "Does the product have enough capability to release today?" This would help maintain a strategic focus for the product rather than keeping a focus on the detailed requirements.
He admitted that though Value and Quality are difficult to measure as compared to Cost and Schedule, however, focus should be more on measuring value delivered via a releasable product rather than trying to precisely calculate less important things like the constraints of the Agile triangle.
It's much better to have fuzzy measures of really important things that precise measures of less important things.
Thus, according to Jim, Agile teams should focus on the releasable product rather than getting constrained by the iron triangle. The three vertices of the iron triangle collapse into one vertex of the Agile triangle called constraints. The other vertices i.e. value and quality define the goals, they are of utmost importance to the stakeholders and need more attention.

Chamomile: Which bit is the seed?
I have harvested my first seeds -- chamomile -- and I can't properly separate the seed from the chaff because I haven't the faintest idea which bit is seed and which bits are chaff. The flower heads stayed on the plant until thoroughly dry, and now it all crumbles easily together.
The photo below shows a two intact buds and the contents of two other crumbled buds, minus the stems. Can someone help me identify the bits to save?
I'm a little late responding to this but in case it is still useful...
I have been saving German Chamomile for many years, and feel that it would by kind of nuts to be uptight about the chaff because the seeds are almost microscopic and don't roll out of the chaff. So I just pinch the central "puffs" of the flowers shortly before they will fall apart and set them in a dish out of the breeze to dry, chaff and all. Germination seems to work fine. Usually the chamomile self-sows, but not always where I want.
If I were to trade that seed, I would just mention that chaff is included.

Rangers set ALCS rotation, Wilson going in Game 1
Oct 13, 2010, 7:45 PM EDT
Rangers manager Ron Washington revealed his ALCS rotation on Wednesday in a chat with the media. MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan has all of the details, quotes, and a roster change that involves speedy infielder Esteban German. (Hint: he's been cut).
Because staff ace Cliff Lee was needed to go the distance in Tuesday's ALDS Game 5 victory over the Rays, the left-hander will not pitch in the second round against the Yankees until Game 3. That will leave C.J. Wilson to start Game 1 and Colby Lewis to take on the Yanks in Game 2.
Tommy Hunter, 24, will probably start in Game 4, unless the Rangers are completely backed against a wall.
Wilson was converted from a setup role at the beginning of this season and posted astonishingly great results throughout 2010, never showing a sign of fatigue. He finished with a 15-8 record, a 3.35 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP over 33 regular-season starts and fired off 6 1/3 scoreless innings in his lone ALDS outing against Tampa Bay.
Lewis was signed out of a Japanese professional baseball league last winter and had a 3.72 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 196/65 K/BB ratio over 32 starts in his first year back in the states. He threw five scoreless innings in Game 3 of the ALDS on Saturday.

My caregiving friends
I wanted to peek in again and say Hi, to all of you. It is so heartbreaking to see all of you still going through the "motions" of caregiving,but you all still have the loved ones with you. It is harder I must say, when it stops so abruptly, and your world changes so fast. However it is a "sweet relief", no matter how much you miss them and you can look back and feel good about the loving care you gave to them,with -out regrets.I miss Lara terribly, and I think she knew that we all loved her dearly. There were times, as normal when we regret things we said or did,but isn't that just normal? I know all of you will find "peace"...some day asI have and be better for it ,for what you have shared with your parents. I think of you all often and still read the posts .
Nora haven't heard or seen you lately so am wondering how your Mother is doing? Also Linda....how is your Mother? I know you are looking forward to the trip.
Kathy...sounds like ya'll have about had it. I hope you are feeling well quickly and won't have ot be put in the hospital. This must be so hard for your Dear Mother to understand what is happening. Prayers are sent your way. All of you "GET WELL SOON.....
Things here are so much better, and I rearranged my downstairs living quarters and just love it now. This is what I needed for so long. I feel like I have a new house. Even Dh loves it and we sat down there and watched the big screen tonight. We still talk often of Lara, and miss her so. I will continue to read and pray for all of you...until later.....Love Gabby
Hi Gabby, Good to read your post and so happy that things are going well for you and DH. I know you miss Lara...she certainly knew how much you loved her and how wonderful you have memories to cherish. Mom and Dad are doing o.k. Mom has had some not so good days...not walking without help..but she is swallowing good...has lost alot of weight. Dad has been busy outside with this nice weather...we have plans to get the yard mowed and seeded Monday. We had a great trip to Frankfort...DD and SIL bought a new home...4 bedrooms,2 baths...in a subdivison outside of town...they are so excited...will be moving the last of April...we took care of babies while they took care of business.LOL My youngest daughter has been here on spring break from teaching and we have been working real hard at organizing this house and getting rid of things I just don't need.LOL She has helped me so much....sure does feel good to have it done. Other daughter will be coming home from Bolivia Easter Sunday. She has had a wonderful trip. Spent 6 hours yesterday in the ER with DH. He has a kidney stone....this is his 3rd time....oh the pain he was in. Sent him home to pass it...and alot of pain meds. They say the pain is compared to having a baby...well he has had 3 so that is for all the pain I had for having his 3 girls.LOL Got to get him in to doctor tomorrow. Life is just busy...love knowing that spring is near and can be outside. Take care and so happy that things are going well for you. Blessings, Nora
Hi Gabby! Good to read your post. So glad things are working out for you and your hubby... I think you mentioned somewhere that he might have to go to a job and you were going with him in the RV. Did you get to do that???
Hi Nora... Good to hear from you, too! I pray God touches your DH is he's able to pass that stone today. Is it known what causes them??? Sorry to hear your precious mother is having some not so good days and is losing weight... I know it breaks all of your hearts. Thank God your dad is busy with his seeds and plants and getting ready for the garden. May God strengthen and comfort you as you carry on. God is truly blessing your daughters, Nora. I'm so happy for you. May God bless you and all of our caregiving friends. ~breezy
Hi there, all....Glad you are settling into your new life, Gabby. Guess your DH is moving on. Nora, you guys need to stay well. You have too much going on. Cannot believe the trip to Bolivia is almost at an end. Breezy...how's the house coming??? Take care y'all. Derry
Hi, Gabby...thanks for thinking of me. I've been busy with Mom's and my dentist/doctor appointments these past couple of weeks, and by the end of the day just want to see our sofa and the 'big screen', too! ;-) Mom is tolerating her Respiradone quite well, and altho' her hallucinations haven't completely disappeared, and the people on tv continue to talk directly to her and watch her, she's certainly settling down at night and we're all resting and sleeping through the nights now. Finally.What a difference that makes! But she walkes so stooped over now, so slowly...and she seems to be in her own little world much more often, talking about people who aren't here, or a party that didn't happen last night, or simply things I can't make out at all. Our doctor said this may certainly progress to the point where she may not recognize us, or may have to be prompted, and that's my greatest fear. But she continues to eat very well in spite of it all, but can't put on the weight she's lost, evidently.
I'm happy that you can take such comfort in the love and care you gave Lara, and that you and Al are at peace and moving on. Memories will always keep us company....
Again, thank you for thinking of all of us....

The Following's New Showrunner Departs
August 29th, 2014
Kevin Bacon
The Following's new showrunner has departed before the new season even begins.
Alcatraz executive producer Jennifer Johnson has exited less than three months after getting promoted to oversee the Fox drama for Season 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Who earns what: TV's highest-paid stars
Johnson, who attended the show's Comic-Con panel in late July, will instead focus on developing new projects under her deal with Warner Bros. TV, the studio behind The Following. A trio of executive producers — Marcos Siega, Brett Mahoney and Alexi Hawley — will take over the day-to-day duties.
Johnson was originally stepping in for creator Kevin Williamson, so that he could devote his attention to his new CBS series, Stalker, which premieres in September.
Johnson's other credits include Lost, Cold Case and Gang Related.
The Following returns midseason on Fox.
Watch Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling rank their Beverly Hills, 90210 boyfriends in chronological order:

NY Attorney General Subpoenas Craigslist For Post-Sandy Price Gougers 458
from the what-the-market-will-bear dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Allowing price gouging post disaster can be very dangerous because it exacerbates any shortages. No only are people in need vying for scare resources but price gougers who buy and hold much more than they individually need in an effort to reap a profit on resale. This causes more gouging and hoarding as people become scared that prices will increase. The ultimate result is that people will go without and possibly die while resources go unused.
The price of textbooks, in any weather.
apparently they tried to stop shortages by outlawing "hoarding". They arrested a guy and confiscated gasoline because he collected from neighbors and went beyond the gas shortages to bring back gas to them. The big screw up on his side was putting it in non-gas approved containers, but the charge was actually hoarding supplies.
1. need doesn't translate into entitlement.
2. These last three storms (irene, sandy, and that nor'easter we had) should be convincing americans in general that this march towards centralization of command and control (FEMA, DHS etc) is a BAD idea. we should be moving towards distributed/self sufficiency as much as possible. of course this isn't what the ideologues in DC want..
I sincerely hope that you come out of this unscathed, but perhaps there's a lesson to be learned here as well. don't wait for the next disaster to stock up on gasoline or assume it will be available. Figure out a way to heat at least one room in your home without depending on fossil fuels or electricity. It doesn't have to be comfortable, but it does have to keep you alive.
With your bare hands?!?

"Brilliantly entertaining"
Yes I would, it was so freaking AMAZING, I did not expect this book to be that good. it's not another sweet romance without anything else of substance that makes for a good time passer. Going into the Darkest Minds, I didn't really know what to expect. I never heard of Alexandra Bracken or Amy McFadden but together they are pure perfection. I love dystopian novels are one of my favorites of 2013.
Ruby at the age of ten and placed in a government-run rehabilitation camp for kids like her - kids who, for whatever reason, began to show signs of extraordinary abilities. Trapped at camp for six years, Ruby believes she is exactly where she belongs after what she did to her parents.
I did occasionally find myself wanting to yell at her in frustration but those moments were small and far apart. The main character was smart but not a Mary Sue, she made mistakes and this made the book better to listen to no one is perfect.
It was fast paced and somewhat surprising. I hated the idea of being able to accidentally erase someone's memory of you. That feeling kept me wanting to know how this trilogy will end.
Solid job all around.
That ending that ending that ending.
"So bad I could not finish this book."
Storyline is not believable and extremely boring. Main character is annoying . I really gave this book a chance and tried to finish it 5 times.
"Grow up Evie"
Yes the storyline was really boring and Evie really got on my nerves. Goodness you can't save and love everyone. She keeps making the same mistakes over and over again: making a bad situation worse. For someone who played sport she is not a very good team player. For heaven sakes girl you are a new Angel who barley knows anything listen to the experience Angels and learn a thing or two and then fight fight fight. Reed was also a little overbearing still being over protective and keep Evie in the dark. He's been around long enough to know better. Loved everyone else which is why my rating was not lower.
Emily Woo Zeller was great as always.
I really enjoyed the first book and got through the second book just fine, but this I really didn't like thank goodness for Zeller performance because I would have stop listening if it was someone else reading.
"Use birth control, find your OWN man and grow up."
Everything was laid out in the open finally, there are decent people out there willing to give you a second chance.
Okay so she got away, now Hannah needs to learn from your past mistakes and make better choices.
Really!!!! Hannah knew what she was getting into when decided to sleep with this married man. How foolish was she not to protect herself from getting pregnant and or contracting a disease. You have to look out for number one (yourself). This book took things to the extreme. Hannah made mistakes that a child not a full grown woman makes. She had her eyes wide open.
Aiden's wife is the really victim here. He gave her a disease which led to her infertility and he breaks their marriage vows. Yeah he's the type of guy I want my child to bring home to met me....Not!!! I don't agree with the treatment she received by the halfway house, her mother and brother-in-law. No one should be treated badly for making a mistake, non of us are perfect and we all fall far from grace.
LOVE and compassion is the greatest medicine we all need in our lives.
"Boring, I can't believe I wasted my money."
This book spent more time focusing on what someone wore, looked liked, drove, ate, and the eyes the eyes enough with the eyes. I can't believe this book got more than 2 stars.This story when no where.
This story really should have been wrapped up in one chapter. Just tell the guy aleady about his dirty partner.
"I couldn't stop laughing."
Witty, entertaining, gross.
I love Tommy and Mike.
McDonald's for one and the highway chase. The internal dialogue throughout this book made me laugh so hard, I love it.
If you like zombies, there is enough of them for you, If you like humor this book is more your style. I wouldn't want to live in this world, but Mark Tufo's vision made it a great ride. I can't wait to get the next book and I am so glad I don't have to wait for it to be released.
I couldn't imagine anyone else narrating this series. Perfect timing every time. Sean Runnette I am a fan now.
"Gotta love that Cole."
Cole, many layers to this guy. I didn't see that ending coming.
Sorry Amy, but I don't like your main character voice. Please give them some more life. I have been putting off getting this book and the 1st one because her. However I did like the story.
Can't wait for the 3rd book.
"Tim Tinkle"
Yes, I need to remember all the jokes.
I need to get the next book. I have some unanswered questions.
The Cat fight between Mike and Tim.
This book was so funny in so many ways. Too much internal dialogue though, but that's where a lot of the funny jokes came from. So I can live with it. I wasn't sure if I would buy the next book, but I want to find out what happens next.
"Don't waste your credit, the story goes no where."
I don't know, I was not impressed with story, it was so slow and nothing really happened. I guess I must read way too much to be entertained by this story.
Yes I did like the narrator which was the was the only reason I finished the book, I just kept hoping the story would get better. Not sure I will continue with the series. Can I get my money back?!!!
"Bored out of my mind. Makeup your mind already!!!!"
Not sure. Nothing happened throughout this book. America's ever-changing feelings for Aspen and Maxon was frustrating. This book didn't have enough plot for a whole book. A change of scenery might be great for all.
Not all she is a boring narrator. I guess I have been spoiled by more seasoned narrators how act out the stories and not just read.
I wish America would just leave already, I am so tired of this love triangle. This story was so predictable. Why can't these characters learn how to communicate and avoid all of the miss understandings.
Nothing happened throughout this book. There was no rime or reason to it and it was just America going back and forth between Maxon and Aspen and crying over her feelings. This book could have been rolled up in the Selection and should not have been splint into two separate books. Also keeping the identity of her ex-boyfriend currently guarding her safety and hated royalty? It is going to blow up in her face.
With all that said I will still get the last book, but it will be on the last of my list.

What is the purpose of airvent in kitchen sink plumbing line ?
I notice that most of the updated kitchen sinks no longer have an air vent (the things that splutters out clogged waste from the dishwasher drain at times!!). Can anyone please educate me about the purpose of this vent? what happens if I decide to forgo it when we put in our new sink/faucet/diposer and plumbing lines?
Thanks for all your input!
It is an air gap that allows air to escape rather than building up in the pipe and creating an "air hammer" within the pipes (banging noise), and problems with drainage. (think about pouring out of a can that doesnt have the second hole punched in it.
Many locations don't have them on the sink because a vent pipe that goes out the roof that is attached to that particular stack is required. I had never seen an air gap growing up, because in my location its purpose was served by this plumbed in vent pipe.
you need to be more specific.
Is this vent under the countertop or above it with a connection directly to the dishwasher ?
The purpose of an air gap is not really to allow air to escape but rather to keep dirty water from back flowing into the DW
An autovent allows air into the system to allow for proper drainage and an air gap is not dependant on one or vice versa. The autovent takes the place of a vent stack to the roof.
OP was asking about air gap, calling it air vent.
This confuses some of the answerers.
All the above info is correct.
What I am about to say here is not a contradiction.
"Gap" is before the P trap, on the room air side.
"Vent" is after the P trap, on the sewer air side.
As for air gaps, they may be overkill. Many think they are.
Every dishwasher has a drain hose that either goes up to the air gap, or else
it goes up "high" to make a high loop under the counter before going back down to
its connection to the plumbing.
This hose connection is always somewhere before the P trap, not after the P trap.
High loops are fine.
Air gaps are more better.
Why? For a few reasons that require a large number of words and are best given by an expert on public health and the water system.
Even Master Plumbers argue about it a lot.
Executive summary: it's nothing to worry about.

Insure Tennessee deserves a vote on the floors of the Tennessee House and Senate.

Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) Users' Guide June 30, 2010 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) Users' Guide Table of Contents Background ................................................................................................................................................... 3 Tool Overview ............................................................................................................................................... 4 Data Entry ..................................................................................................................................................... 4 Setting up Augmentation Plans ................................................................................................................ 5 Assigning River Miles and Admin Numbers .............................................................................................. 5 Waterclass Data ........................................................................................................................................ 6 Efficiency Curves and URFs ....................................................................................................................... 7 Lagging Depletions and Accretions ............................................................................................................... 8 Lagging by Aug Plan .................................................................................................................................. 8 Lagging by Waterclass ............................................................................................................................... 9 Viewing Results ........................................................................................................................................... 10 Results by Waterclass ............................................................................................................................. 10 Results by Augmentation Plan (Excess Accretions) ................................................................................ 11 Page |2 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Background In May and June of 2010 Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. developed a prototype tool for the Colorado State Engineers Office. The tool sums net impacts to the river due to off stream (indirect) diversions (pumping depletions and recharge accretions). The tool quantifies, for a given augmentation plan, the daily net effect of indirect diversions on the the South Platte River mainstem, taking into account decree stipulations and current river calls. For inputs, the Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) relies on 3 sources of information: 1. Pumping and recharge diversion records for individual waterclasses belonging to an augmentation plan will eventually be pulled from provisional Hydrobase records through an automated process. They can also be entered directly into the tool through custom user forms. 2. The tool also relies on a link to live river call data provided by the SEO. LRE has set up an automated process that fetches the raw river call data each night and processes it into a 90-day time series (looking backward 45 days and projecting current calls forward 90 days). The EAT links to this processed data. 3. Additional information needed to calculate lagged effects of the diversions are stored in the tool (irrigation efficiency curves, unit response functions, etc). Information on the impacts of lagged diversions is provided to the SEO through augmentation plan accounting 30-60 days after it's actually happened. The EAT provides a means for water commissioners and other state water administrators to consider lagged impacts in their daily administration. Page |3 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Tool Overview The EAT is currently a stand-alone MS Access 2007 database. It does rely on a link to a live time series of river call data, but the user chooses when to "open" this link to allow fresh data in with a button on the man user form, so no internet connection is necessary to run the tool except when this link needs to be refreshed. The tool has been tested in a Windows XP environment. The Excess Accretions Tool functionality can be categorized into 3 steps: 1. Entering Data 2. Lagging Depletions and Accretions 3. Viewing Results The sections below include instructions and screen shots for each of these steps. Data Entry The main user form displays a summary of aug plans available for review in the tool. The "Details" button beside each aug plan can be clicked to bring up a list of waterclasses associated with that aug plan. The available diversion data period of record is shown for each waterclass. This list provides a quick overview of the completeness of the inputs. Page |4 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Setting up Augmentation Plans Clicking "Enter Data" on the main form will bring up the initial data entry form. To create a new aug plan entry, use the record selector at the bottom of the form that looks like a right-arrow with an asterisk to go to a new record. In addition to editing the aug plan information, this form lets the user associate waterclasses with the aug plan and complete the basic waterclass information (wdid, source, from, use, and type). If the aug plan has multiple impact reaches, the "Multiple Reaches" check box can be used to disable the plan reach information at the top of the form and enable the "Waterclasses for Impact Reaches" subform at the bottom of the form. In the multiple reaches subform, the user may associate individual waterclasses with aug plan subreaches and designate impact spits between reaches for waterclasses that impact more than one reach. Assigning River Miles and Admin Numbers In order for the tool to determine in and out of priority depletions, each waterclass must include information about where it impacts the river. The river mile location for the impact reach (or reaches) can be entered on the main data entry form (shown above) either in the top Impact Reach section or in the multiple reaches subform at the bottom. The rivermile should correspond to the location of the reach as stipulated in the aug plan decree (for instance the top of the reach). It's important for the rivermile value for each reach to be correctly relative to the calling structures below the reach. To determine the appropriate river mile value: Click the "Data" button next to any entered waterclass (do not click this button for an empty waterclass record!) On the waterclass data entry form, click the "Str Lst" button that is positioned about in the center of the form. Page |5 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide This will bring up a list of calling structures. Locate the calling structure(s) for the reach and choose a rivermile value appropriate to put the reach above them. Rivermile values start with 0 at the CO/NE state line and get larger moving upstream. The Administration number for each waterclass is equally important for determining whether depletions are in or out of priority. The tool can use a single aug plan admin number for all waterclasses, it can use an aug plan number associated with the waterclass's impact reach, or it can use admin numbers specific to the waterclasses. The tool will look first for a plan admin number, second for multiple reach admin numbers, and third for a waterclass admin number. If it does not find any of these, the waterclass will be out of priority except during free river. Waterclass Data Clicking the "Data" button next to a waterclass listed on the main data entry form will bring up the Waterclass Data Entry form. Clicking this button for an empty waterclass record will cause an error in the program. Additional information for each waterclass can be entered here. This includes an associated irrigation efficiency curve for wells, a unit response function (URF) for all waterclasses, and waterclass specific administration data (admin number and water source). To create a new Efficiency curve or URF, click the "Data" button next to either. Actual URF data can be entered into the subform on this form. Diversion records can be entered directly in this form as well. Please note that the timestep for both diversion data and the urf must match (monthly or daily). Estimated diversions can be entered in this form if desired as well. Page |6 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Efficiency Curves and URFs Clicking the "Data" button on the waterclass data entry form next to either the Efficency or URF drop- down control will bring up a form that lets the user create new efficiency curves or new URFs. Use the record selector at the bottom of the form that looks like a right arrow with an asterisk to go to a new record and create the data set. Page |7 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Lagging Depletions and Accretions Once the data has been set up for the aug plans and waterclasses, lagged diversions can be calculated by clicking the "Lag Depletions / Accretions" button on the EAT Main Form. Lagging by Aug Plan By default, the "Aug Plan Calculations" form is displayed first. This form lets the user run the lagging convolution for all waterclasses in an aug plan at once. A summary of the inputs may be reviewed first by clicking the "View Input Data Summary" button. Clicking the "LAG NOW…" button will begin the lagging process. Page |8 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Lagging by Waterclass Clicking the "Lag Individual Waterclasses" button on the Aug Plan Calculations form will bring up a form that allows the user to lag diversions for a single waterclass. This form displays the inputs for the waterclass, including the CU calculation based on efficiency. The user may modify the inputs by clicking the "Open Data Entry" button, and begin the lagging process by clicking the "LAG NOW…" button. Page |9 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Viewing Results Clicking the "View Results and Reports" button on the EAT Main Form allows the user to look at the lagged data. The data may be viewed by individual waterclass or by aug plan. Results by Waterclass Viewing by waterclass is useful to: - For an individual waterclass, see the inputs and lagged outputs graphically - For an individual waterclass, see the tabular inputs with CU calculation ("View Input Data" button) - See how specific waterclasses contributed to the net effect on the river and how the river calls affected each waterclass P a g e | 10 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide Results by Augmentation Plan (Excess Accretions) The aug plan view of the results take the river call into account, so it can be used to determine the daily availability of excess indirect replacements from that aug plan on the river. With the aug plan view, the user can: - see graphically the net effect of the whole aug plan's indirect diversions for a 31 day period (back 10 days and forward 21) - View a summary of the input diversions ("Inputs Summary" button) - Open a tabular report of the daily net effects in a sheet that may be cut and pasted to Excel ("Output Table" button) - Print daily reports (see the next two pages) o The "Summary Report" button presents results summarized by aug plan P a g e | 11 Excess Accretions Tool (EAT) – Users' Guide The "Summary Report" button presents results summarized by aug plan.

Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, from 1885 until his death in 1919. From 1902 to 1908 his "Summer White House" was the focus of international attention.Roosevelt was a diplomat, internationalist, naval historian and strategist, combat commander of a volunteer cavalry regiment, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy. As a noted historian, biographer, essayist, editor, columnist, and critic, he wrote 35 books. He was a renowned ornithologist, an expert on and hunter of big-game animals, but also a pioneering American conservationist. He was a country squire, horseman, socialite and patron of the arts. He reformed the federal civil service and New York City police department, lost a race for New York City mayor, finished second in a 1912 third party bid for president, arrested outlaws as a North Dakota deputy sheriff, served as Governor of New York and Vice-President of the United States. Today, Sagamore Hill is furnished as it was during his busy lifetime.
