He stated that he felt con¬ fident that be would succeed in getting on the teams. He haa been walking about 2 years and haa captured about 40 prizes. On Wedneaday evening he was one of the conteatanta in a 1 mile race at McCad- din Lyceum, Brooklyn. Local Topics ; (By the Editor) I The "West End Taxpayers Assccia- tion" or taxpayers from the Bay View , section have been stirring up things in the village, in a very creditable desire for more light. I have no desire to "take sides" in the discussion, nor to say anything ex¬ cept for the best interests of the vil¬ lage, and to report conditions as they exiht. At the meeting of the Board of Trus¬ tees Friday evening, Nov. 17, a com¬ mittee from the section referred to, appeared and requested several addi- ! tioiial lights. They were informed the ! Light Committee was considering where I to place a number of new lights I (about 20) and their list was referred ; to this committee—with power—as are all applications. Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, these same gentlemen met and discu»t condi¬ tions, and the next evening an attack or the police department and incident¬ ally the Village Hoard of Trustees, ap¬ peared in the Brooklyn Eagle, which was so eminently unfair that Mr. Nol¬ an, their regular correspondet^t, de¬ clined to take any responsibility for its authorship. It contained such state- men t.s as thenu: "Pinochle and Padded Reports charRed against police department. Nothing is done by the police to get thieves." "Bloodhounds will be ustd to the best advantages of the ta:<payers. " "If the dog puis the local police de¬ partment up a tree it would be a good thing." "The members will be required to take lanterns to their meetings for a time, as the lights are so few and far between, making a perfect paraaise for thieves." It would seem that if these people seeking light were responsible for thus 'advertiKing Freeport's inducements to burglars, etc., they certainly were not entitled to any more consideration than other sections of the village which had imnths previously been promist lamps as soon as tho plant became equipt to furnish them. i Trustee Myrick being in busi¬ ness in New York most of the commit¬ tee work naturally falls upon Trustee I Collard, (these two being the Light i Committee) who has been traveling ' over the village streets for months, try¬ ing to decide the places where the lights No. 6 ' in the Fire Department (H. E. P.) The annual supper and reunion of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company will be held on Wednesday evening, January 'J4. The Village Board ol Trustees haa decided on Wednesday evening, De¬ cember 20, as the date on which to auction off the old fire apparatus aa recommended by the Fire Council. This includes two old hose reels, an old hook and ladder truck and a quan¬ tity of old hose. The annual drill of the department was held at tbe Imperial Hotel Satur¬ day afternoon, with but a few of the firemen present owing to the fact that the whistle was mt blown. The 50- foot extension ladder from the truck was placed against the side of the building, and the three hose companies in succession drove from t)ccBn Ave¬ nue west on Rose Street to in fronl^pf the hotel, laid hose and sent it up the ladder to the top of the building, tho time being taken when water left tne nozzle. Hose No. 3 was quickest, with Hose No. 1, second, and Hoee No. 2 third. A meeting to formally organize the new hiise company. Hose No. 4, waa held in Hrooklyn f'all Monday evening and about twenty, mo.stly residents of the northwesterly section of the vil¬ lage, where the company is to be sta¬ tioned, signed applications for mem¬ bership. Chief Cornell was elected the first 'honorary member of the compiiny. The members are very enthusiastic, and will probably present their charter list at. the next meeting of the P'ire Coun¬ cil, and the company will be assigned to service immediately upon approval by the Council. The following officers were elected: Foreman, llilbert R. Johnson; Ist asst., J. Jay Randall: 2iid, asst., J. (^ecil Powers; rec. sec, Elwood Rose; tin. sec, John Meaney; wardens, Al¬ bin N. Johnson and Louis Cozzens; trustees, John Germeroth, Forest Dun¬ bar and Vandewater Post; treasurer, William Ryder. BAYVIEW SECTION OK FREEPORT Scale lUOO ft. to 1 inch.

By virtue of his office President Gunning ia a mem¬ ber ex-officio, of all co-nmittees, and he with Trustee Myrick, on Thurs¬ day, gave orders to the village electric¬ ian to place every light demanded in the Bayview section. Friday evening, as reported in our notes of the proceedings of the Vil¬ lage Board, the Bayview committee again appearei and thanked, not the Board, but President Gunning and Trustee , Myrick, for giving them the light; and inquiries by Trustee Sig¬ mond brought out these facts. Also aa noted there, the majority of tbe Board thought the oiajority of tbe light committee bad been too hasty and ittUul Topics CnUiies n Pigi 5 With nearly 150 of the past and present members in attendance, the tirst annual dinner of the Freeport Fire Department waa held at "The Anchor¬ age" Wednesday evening, and was a success from start to linish. The speeches were of the sort to in¬ terest the firemen, and the speakers were enthusiastically received. The dinner was one of Caterer Long's best (encugh said) and the committee in charge feel that for the fiist one of the dinners its success exceeded their expectations. ihe dinner waa started with a prayer by the department chaplain, Hev. Charles Herbert Scholey. Ex- Chief J. lluyler Ellison acted as toast- master, and after the wants of the In¬ ner man had betii fully satisfied and cigars lighted, introduced ex-Deputy V'tre Commissioner V. A. Whitney of New York City who made a few re¬ marks before leaving for his train. He was followed by the department chaplain. Rev. (^has. H. Scholey, who needed but to rine in his place to oc¬ casion a storm of applause. Dr. Scholey spoke on the affairs of the de¬ partment, and of the honor he felt was bestowed on him by being elected the first chaplain of the Freeport Fire De¬ partment. Village President Gunning followed Dr. Scholey and spoke of the executive side of the department, and of the important part a gathering of that sort would play in the cementing together of the department me nbers. Alexander Rhodes, a charter member of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Co., in 1874, gave some of the history of the department when conditions were different from the present day, and ended his remarks hy urging that the old hook and ladderIriitk, which was advertised at auction, be not sold, but turned over to th'^se who were mem¬ bers of the old original company, that they might form a veteran company in the village. R. H. Mayland extended , greetings to tbe firemen and. touched briefly on the State Firemen's Heme at Hudson. A. B. Wallace, pre8i<lent of the S. N. Y. Vol. Firemen's Afi»n., spoke on association affirs, and stated that the next meeting of the rlirectort of the asFociation, instead of bein|^ ' held in Brooklyn, as has always been the custom, would be held in Freeport in January. Captain Hanse talked en¬ tertainingly fnr a few minutes and was followed by George Wallace, whose remark*'were alao to tbe point Telegrams of regret were read from ex-Chief Croker and James f.

In a popular sense, an idea arises in a reflex, spontaneous manner, even without thinking or serious reflection, for example, when we talk about the idea of a person or a place.
Plato was one of the earliest philosophers to provide a detailed discussion of ideas. He considered the concept of idea in the realm of metaphysics and its implications for epistemology. He asserted that there is realm of Forms or Ideas, which exist independently of anyone who may have thought of these ideas. Material things are then imperfect and transient reflections or instantiations of the perfect and unchanging ideas. From this it follows that these Ideas are the principal reality (see also idealism). In contrast to the individual objects of sense experience, which undergo constant change and flux, Plato held that ideas are perfect, eternal, and immutable. Consequently, Plato considered that knowledge of material things is not really knowledge; real knowledge can only be had of unchanging ideas.
Descartes often wrote of the meaning of idea as an image or representation, often but not necessarily "in the mind", which was well known in the vernacular. In spite of the fact that Descartes is usually credited with the invention of the non-Platonic use of the term, we find him at first following this vernacular use.b In his Meditations on First Philosophy he says, "Some of my thoughts are like images of things, and it is to these alone that the name 'idea' properly belongs." He sometimes maintained that ideas were innate and uses of the term idea diverge from the original primary scholastic use. He provides multiple non-equivalent definitions of the term, uses it to refer to as many as six distinct kinds of entities, and divides ideas inconsistently into various genetic categories. For him knowledge took the form of ideas and philosophical investigation is the deep consideration of these ideas. Many times however his thoughts of knowledge and ideas were like those of Plotinus and Neoplatonism. In Neoplatonism the Intelligence (Nous) is the true first principle -- the determinate, referential 'foundation' (arkhe) -- of all existents; for it is not a self-sufficient entity like the One, but rather possesses the ability or capacity to contemplate both the One, as its prior, as well as its own thoughts, which Plotinus identifies with the Platonic Ideas or Forms (eide) A non-philosophical definition of Nous is good sense (a.k.a. "common sense"). Descartes is quoted as saying, "Of all things, good sense is the most fairly distributed: everyone thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those who are the hardest to satisfy in every other respect never desire more of it than they already have."
It should be observed that an idea, in the narrower and generally accepted sense of a mental reproduction, is frequently composite. That is, as in the example given above of the idea of chair, a great many objects, differing materially in detail, all call a single idea. When a man, for example, has obtained an idea of chairs in general by comparison with which he can say "This is a chair, that is a stool", he has what is known as an "abstract idea" distinct from the reproduction in his mind of any particular chair (see abstraction). Furthermore a complex idea may not have any corresponding physical object, though its particular constituent elements may severally be the reproductions of actual perceptions. Thus the idea of a centaur is a complex mental picture composed of the ideas of man and horse, that of a mermaid of a woman and a fish. htpp://wedofree.com
In mid-20th century, social scientists began to study how and why ideas spread from one person or culture to another. Everett Rogers pioneered diffusion of innovations studies, using research to prove factors in adoption and profiles of adopters of ideas. In 1976, Richard Dawkins suggested applying biological evolutionary theories to spread of ideas. He coined the term 'meme' to describe an abstract unit of selection, equivalent to the gene in evolutionary biology.
In the objective worth of our ideas there remains the problem of the validity. As all cognition is by ideas, it is obvious that the question of the validity of our ideas in this broad sense is that of the truth of our knowledge as a whole. Otherwise to dispute this is to take up the position of scepticism. This has often been pointed out as a means intellectual suicide. Any chain of reasoning (common sense) by which it is attempted to demonstrate the falsity of our ideas has to employ the very concept of ideas itself. Then insofar as it demands assent to the conclusion, it implies belief in the validity of all the ideas employed in the premises of the argument.
To assent the fundamental mathematical and logical axioms, including that of the principle of contradiction, implies admission of the truth of the ideas expressed in these principles. With respect to the objective worth of ideas, as involved in perception generally, the question raised is that of the existence of an independent material world comprising other human beings. The idealism of David Hume and John Stuart Mill would lead logically to solipsism (the denial of any others besides ourselves). The main foundation of all idealism and scepticism is the assumption (explicit or implicit), that the mind can never know what is outside of itself. This is to say that an idea as a cognition can never go outside of itself. This can be further expressed as we can never reach to and mentally apprehend anything outside of anything of what is actually a present state of our own consciousness.
What is possible for a human mind to apprehend cannot be laid down beforehand. It must be ascertained by careful observations and by study of the process of cognition. This postulates that the mind cannot apprehend or cognize any reality existing outside of itself and is not only a self-evident proposition, it is directly contrary to what such observation and the testimony of mankind affirms to be our actual intellectual experience.
John Stuart Mill and most extreme idealists have to admit the validity of memory and expectation. This is to say that in every act of memory or expectation which refers to any experience outside the present instant, our cognition is transcending the present modifications of the mind and judging about reality beyond and distinct from the present states of consciousness. Considering the question as specially concerned with universal concepts, only the theory of moderate realism adopted by Aristotle and Saint Thomas can claim to guarantee objective value to our ideas. According to the nominalist and conceptualist theories there is no true correlate in rerum naturâ corresponding to the universal term.
Mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the rest claim that their universal propositions are true and deal with realities. It is involved in the very notion of science that the physical laws formulated by the mind do mirror the working of agents in the external universe. The general terms of these sciences and the ideas which they signify have objective correlatives in the common natures and essences of the objects with which these sciences deal. Otherwise these general statements are unreal and each science is nothing more than a consistently arranged system of barren propositions deduced from empty arbitrary definitions. These postulates then have no more genuine objective value than any other coherently devised scheme of artificial symbols standing for imaginary beings. However the fruitfulness of science and the constant verifications of its predictions are incompatible with such a hypothesis.
"It has been pretended by some, (and in England especially,) that inventors have a natural and exclusive right to their inventions, and not merely for their own lives, but inheritable to their heirs. But while it is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all, it would be singular to admit a natural and even an hereditary right to inventors. It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance.
By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it, but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society. It would be curious then, if an idea, the fugitive fermentation of an individual brain, could, of natural right, be claimed in exclusive and stable property.
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.
Society may give an exclusive right to the profits arising from them, as an encouragement to men to pursue ideas which may produce utility, but this may or may not be done, according to the will and convenience of the society, without claim or complaint from anybody. Accordingly, it is a fact, as far as I am informed, that England was, until we copied her, the only country on earth which ever, by a general law, gave a legal right to the exclusive use of an idea. In some other countries it is sometimes done, in a great case, and by a special and personal act, but, generally speaking, other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society; and it may be observed that the nations which refuse monopolies of invention, are as fruitful as England in new and useful devices."
To protect the cause of invention and innovation, the legal constructions of Copyrights and Patents was established. Patent law regulates various aspects related to the functional manifestation of inventions based on new ideas or an incremental improvements to existing ones. Thus, patents have a direct relationship to ideas.
In some cases, authors can be granted limited legal monopolies on the manner in which certain works are expressed. This is known colloquially as copyright, although the term intellectual property is used mistakenly in place of copyright. Copyright law regulating the aforementioned monopolies generally does not cover the actual ideas. The law does not bestow the legal status of property upon ideas per se. Instead, laws purport to regulate events related to the usage, copying, production, sale and other forms of exploitation of the fundamental expression of a work, that may or may not carry ideas. Copyright law is fundamentally different to patent law in this respect: patents do grant monopolies on ideas (more on this below).
A copyright is meant to regulate some aspects of the usage of expressions of a work, not an idea. Thus, copyrights have a negative relationship to ideas.
Work means a tangible medium of expression. It may be an original or derivative work of art, be it literary, dramatic, musical recitation, artistic, related to sound recording, etc. In (at least) countries adhering to the Berne Convention, copyright automatically starts covering the work upon the original creation and fixation thereof, without any extra steps. While creation usually involves an idea, the idea in itself does not suffice for the purposes of claiming copyright.
Confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements are legal instruments that assist corporations and individuals in keeping ideas from escaping to the general public. Generally, these instruments are covered by contract law.

Yeah, I agree that it is a bit disappointing. I think it's a fun game, but in a different way than the old SimCity games. It doesn't feel anything like the old games, but I still find it pretty fun. I like how the building of the actual city works now, where you can focus on certain things....but as you said it's missing the underground construction and you cant change terrain.....it's just flat.
Been playing it today, very disappointed. Graphics amazing but I don't think it's as good as previous versions for detail such as lack of underground construction (you can't build subway or sewers etc), no terrain tools either.
And I'm not paying £65 for a deluxe edition either!

Vanderbilt Campus Disability Access
Vanderbilt University is committed to offering equal access to people with disabilities. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Vanderbilt does not exclude otherwise qualified persons with disabilities, solely by reason of the disability, from participating in University programs and activities, nor are persons with disabilities denied the benefits of these programs or subjected to discrimination.
Appointed by the Chancellor, the Equal Access Committee involves all sectors of the University community and assists the Opportunity Development Center in monitoring the University's compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the ADA. Committee membership is composed of students, administrators, staff, and faculty. The committee assists the administration in surveying campus programs; making recommendations regarding modification in programs, activities, and facilities; and informing the University community of Vanderbilt's policy of nondiscrimination.
For further information about services for students with disabilities, write or call the Opportunity Development Center, Sara Ezell, Assistant Director for Disability Programs, Baker Building, 110 Twenty-first Avenue South, VU #351809, 2301 Vanderbilt Place, Nashville, Tennessee 37235-1809; telephone 322-4705 (V/TDD). (See Opportunity Development Center)
Nonacademic Undergraduate Class Designation
Determination of a student's class for nonacademic purposes is usually based on the number of years the student has been in residence, regardless of the number of hours accumulated. A student in the first year of full-time study is classified as a freshman for purposes of meal plans, parking privileges, running for campus office, etc., even if the student achieved sophomore standing because of summer enrollment or advanced placement. Transfer students enrolled in an accelerated three-year graduation program are classified in consultation with the appropriate student affairs dean of their school or college. Classification for residence hall assignment will be determined by Interhall and the Office of Housing and Residential Education.
Religious Holidays & Practices
Vanderbilt is a private and non-sectarian university that has committed itself to helping its students acquire knowledge and standards of value, develop a sense of responsibility, explore religious concerns and issues, and develop their own sense of purpose. The University itself is diverse in its makeup and perspectives and encourages diversity in its student body.
The University, therefore, provides both directly and indirectly for the religious and moral development of its students. Programs in this area are predicated on the right of students to form and freely express their own beliefs and values. A campus where persons from diverse traditions live and work is an open forum for all perspectives. Respect for all religious faiths is essential, observances and holy days are honored, and dialogue among groups is encouraged.
Code of Behavior for Religious Groups
Vanderbilt University has committed itself to helping students acquire knowledge and standards of value, develop a sense of civic responsibility, explore religious concerns and issues, and develop an individual sense of purpose. The University, therefore, provides both directly and indirectly for the religious and moral development of both students and others in the University community.
This element of personal development has been given expression in the establishment of the Office of University Chaplain and Affiliated Ministries (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/religiouslife*), in the recognition of qualified para-church staff, and in the registration of student religious groups whose goals are in keeping with those of the University. The purposes of the University are harmonious with the purposes of addressing issues of religion, values, ethics, and morality of life; in helping members of the University community to articulate a personal philosophy of life, and in understanding the interactions of faith, intellectual inquiry, and social responsibility as bases for finding and affirming meaning and satisfaction in life.
Specific University goals for moral and religious development include the development of programs to help those in the University community to:
1. understand their own faith and the faith of others;
2. examine and affirm a personal life or life philosophy;
3. express that faith through association with others, through opportunities for worship, study, and service, and through campus forums for the presentation and debate of ideas;
4. examine the relation of their faith or life philosophy to current moral, ethical and social issues and to various academic disciplines and professional and vocational fields.
These goals shall be met by the University itself in a non-sectarian manner, and the University expects all religious groups on campus to give evidence of tolerance, fairness, and respect for the religious traditions represented in the University, to respect the non-sectarian natures of the University itself, and to uphold the university's commitment to creating a diverse and pluralistic community on campus.
The University expects that all religious groups which are affiliated, recognized, or registered, respectively, will conduct their affairs so that their policies, programs, and personal actions are in accordance with University catalogues, handbooks, and manuals, such as the Student Handbook, The Student Organizations Manual, and the Faculty Manual (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/facman*). In particular, the University expects all religious groups to abide strictly by the policy on Soliciting for Religious Activities in Community Life, and with the provision that student groups must be led by full-time Vanderbilt students. The University also expects that all such religious groups on campus will conduct their affairs in such a manner that no one will be intimidated or coerced and that participants in any group may freely express their beliefs and values. The University requires all registered groups not to discriminate on the basis of unlawful or irrelevant criteria in policies, practices, programs, and activities. The University reserves the right to make other regulations as necessary, without notice, to secure maximum freedom, comfort, safety, and convenience for all. Violations of this Code of Behavior will be addressed through the Student Conduct System of the University, the Office of University Chaplain, and/or The Community Affairs Board.
Policy Regarding Religious Holidays
It is the policy of Vanderbilt to make every reasonable effort to allow members of the University community to observe their religious holidays without academic penalty. Absence from classes or examinations for religious reasons does not relieve students from responsibility for any part of the course work required during the period of absence. Students who expect to miss classes, examinations, or any other assignments as a consequence of their religious observance should be provided with a reasonable alternative opportunity to complete such academic responsibilities. It is the obligation of students to provide faculty with reasonable notice of the dates of religious holidays on which they will be absent, preferably at the beginning of the semester. Students who are absent on days of examinations or class assignments should be offered an opportunity to make up the work without penalty (if they have previously arranged to be absent), unless it can be demonstrated that a makeup opportunity would constitute an unreasonable burden on a member of the faculty. Should disagreement arise over what constitutes an unreasonable burden or any element of this policy, parties involved should consult the department chair, or, in schools without department chairs, the dean of the school.
Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Baha'i, Buddhist and Hindu Holy Days, 2003/2004 Academic Year
See the calendar on The Office of the University Chaplain web site (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/religiouslife/calendar.html*).
Technology and Literary and Artistic Works
The rights and responsibilities of students and of the University concerning inventions, discoveries, rights in technology, and literary and artistic works, including patents, are defined in the Faculty Manual. For more information, visit Part III, section 4 of the Faculty Manual Web site (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/facman*).
Use of University Logos and Word Marks by Student Organizations
All logos, seals, names, symbols, and slogans associated with, and used by, Vanderbilt University are trademarks and are the exclusive property of the University. Any reproduction and use of these marks by student organizations must be approved by the office of Trademark Licensing. This includes all products (e.g., T-shirts, mugs) that are used for sale or giveaways to other students. Students may call the Trademark Licensing Office at 343-7292 or visit the web site at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/publicaffairs/licensing* for more information.
Political Activity
Vanderbilt is subject to restrictions concerning activities of a political nature. In particular, the Internal Revenue Code imposes on tax-exempt organizations, such as Vanderbilt, limitations relating to attempts to influence legislation and participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of candidates for public office.
The American Council on Education has taken the initiative in preparing a statement of guidelines for use by universities in their efforts to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These guidelines apply to students and student organizations:
Educational institutions traditionally have recognized and provided facilities on an impartial basis to various activities on the college campuses, even those activities that have a partisan political bent, such as, for example, the Republican, Democratic and other political clubs. This presents no problem. However, to the extent that such organizations extend their activities beyond the campus, and intervene or participate in campaigns on behalf of candidates for public office, or permit nonmembers of the University community to avail themselves of University facilities or services, an institution should in good faith make certain that proper and appropriate charges are made and collected for all facilities and services provided.
Extraordinary or prolonged use of facilities, particularly by nonmembers of the University community, even with reimbursement, might raise questions. Such organizations should be prohibited from soliciting in the name of the University funds to be used in such off-campus intervention or participation.
Every member of the academic community has a right to participate or not, as the member sees fit, in the election process. On the hand, no member of that community should speak or act in the name of the institution in a political campaign.
All members of the Vanderbilt University community should observe these principles in planning and engaging in political activities that might either directly or indirectly involve the University. Questions concerning the application of these points should be addressed to the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
Harassment of any individual based on sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, or disability is unacceptable and grounds for disciplinary action, and may constitute a violation of federal law. Equally unacceptable within the University is the harassment of any individual on the basis of sexual orientation.
The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education defines sexual harassment under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 as consisting of "verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, imposed on the basis of sex, by an employee or agent of a recipient that denies, limits, provides different, or conditions the provision of aid, benefits, services, or treatment protected under Title IX." Any person who has a complaint regarding sexual or other harassment should call the Opportunity Development Center as soon as possible.
The Opportunity Development Center is available for informal consultation. Upon receipt of a written complaint, an investigation will be conducted. After evaluating the specifics of the complaint, the Opportunity Development Center will issue a finding to the appropriate University official and seek to resolve the matter, usually within ninety (90) work days of receipt of the written complaint.
In cases in which a student chooses not to file a formal complaint, the University may still take appropriate action being mindful of the complainant's desire for confidentiality. The University is committed to protecting those filing complaints from retaliation.
Other campus offices such as the Office of Housing and Residential Education, the Margaret Cuninggim Women's Center, the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity, the Office of the University Chaplain and Affiliated Ministries, and the Psychological and Counseling Center are available to provide counseling and support to students who believe they have been subjected to sexual harassment.
Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures
Situations may arise in which a student believes that he or she has not received fair treatment by a representative of the University or has a complaint about the performance, action, or inaction of a member of the staff or faculty affecting the student. A student who wishes to have a complaint addressed by the University should first use the following Complaint Procedure and then use the Grievance Procedure if the Complaint Procedure proves unsatisfactory. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from the Office of the Provost, their faculty advisers, another member of the faculty or staff, or, in regard to complaints of unlawful discrimination, the Opportunity Development Center. Decisions of the Appellate Review Board are not subject to the Complaint and Grievance Procedure.
Allegations of Unlawful Discrimination
If a student believes that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, sex (including sexual harassment), religion, color, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, or military service, that student should report the matter to the Opportunity Development Center, which will seek to assist the student with the resolution of the complaint as described below in the Complaint Procedure.
Complaint Procedure
A complaint should be directed as soon as possible to the person or persons whose actions or inactions have given rise to the complaint and not later than six months after the event. For example, if the complaint concerns a grade, the student should first confer with the course instructor. Every effort should be made to resolve the problem fairly and promptly usually within thirty (30) days, at this level. If the complaint involves allegations of sexual harassment, this step may not be appropriate. (See "Harassment" section above.) In addition, in a complaint alleging unlawful discrimination, the Opportunity Development Center (ODC) should be consulted as soon as possible. The Opportunity Development Center will conduct an investigation of the allegations, usually within ninety (90) work days, will issue a finding to the appropriate University official, and will seek to resolve the matter. If the ODC is unable to complete the investigation within this time period, then the ODC will contact the complainant and provide an estimated time frame for completing the investigation.
If the student is not able to resolve the complaint satisfactorily at this level, he or she may appeal the decision within thirty (30) days through the appropriate administrative channels of the academic or administrative unit, through the level of the Provost or appropriate vice chancellor. Students uncertain about the proper channels or process are encouraged to seek advice from the Office of the Provost, offices in the Division of Student Life, the office of the dean of their school, and/or their faculty advisers. If the student is not satisfied with the resolution proposed by ODC, then the student may pursue the Grievance Procedure.
Grievance Procedure
A student who believes that he or she has not received fair treatment, or who has a complaint about the performance, action, or inaction of a member of the faculty or staff, and believes that he or she has not received appropriate redress through the complaint procedure in the preceding section within a reasonable period of time, including for complaints of unlawful discrimination investigated by the ODC, may file a written grievance with the Office of the Chancellor within thirty (30) days. Upon ascertaining that the complaint procedure has been exhausted, the Chancellor's office shall refer the grievance to the Faculty Senate Committee on Student Affairs, within thirty (30) days in the academic year. For this purpose, the membership of the committee shall be augmented by three student members appointed by the Chancellor at the beginning of each academic year. The undergraduate Student Government Association will nominate students for the one undergraduate position, and student governing bodies of the professional/graduate schools will nominate students for the other two student positions on a rotating basis.
Upon receiving the grievance referral from the Office of the Chancellor, the Student Affairs Committee shall inform, in writing, both parties to the grievance that a preliminary investigation will take place. The preliminary investigation will usually be completed within thirty (30) days. After the preliminary investigation, if the committee decides that the grievance is not frivolous, it shall follow procedures necessary to ensure a fair hearing of the matter, including the opportunity for the student to present relevant evidence, to challenge adverse evidence, and to have the complaint heard by an impartial committee. Committee members may recuse themselves if they feel their objectivity is subject to question, and the grievant may request any committee member recuse himself or herself if the grievant feels a committee member will not view the grievance with sufficient objectivity. If vacancies occur, the chair of the Faculty Senate shall appoint Senate members to fill faculty vacancies and the Chancellor shall appoint students to fill student vacancies.
The student filing the grievance may be assisted during the hearing by a member of the University community (faculty, staff, or student) not trained in the law and is encouraged to seek such assistance. While all parties to the grievance are free to consult with and receive advice from attorneys concerning the grievance, no party shall be represented by an attorney at the hearing. For hearings or complaints of unlawful discrimination, a representative from the Opportunity Development Center shall be present in an advisory capacity. The committee may call upon any individuals that it believes may be helpful in resolving the grievance.
The grievant and the person or persons against whom the grievance was filed shall be present during the hearing until such time as the committee is ready to begin deliberations. The student may withdraw the grievance, with the consent of the other party, at any time prior to the decision of the committee.
After each case the committee shall write its report. The report should be completed within three weeks and it shall include a statement of the committee's findings, the basis for those findings, and, if necessary, recommendations for any corrective action that should be taken. If any disciplinary action is anticipated, the appropriate University disciplinary procedures shall be followed. The report, including the vote and any dissenting statements, shall be sent to the Chancellor within one week after completion. Except as disclosures are reasonably necessary in the investigation, hearing, and final disposition of a grievance, the grievant, members of the hearing bodies, and others having knowledge of a grievance are expected to preserve the confidentiality of the grievance.
The Chancellor shall communicate his decision to the committee. In any case in which the Chancellor does not follow the decision or the recommendation of the committee, the Chancellor shall report to the committee his reasons for so doing. The Office of the Chancellor shall then promptly notify the student and the other affected persons, in writing, of the final decision, usually within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Committee's report, during the academic year.
State Postsecondary Review Entity (SPRE) Grievance Procedure
Students should be aware that, should they have complaints about their program or their financial aid, this institution has a complaint procedure. To the extent possible, students should seek a resolution of such matters through the institution's complaint procedure before involving others. Should the institution not be able to resolve the problem, the student should call the State Postsecondary Review Program office at the Tennessee Higher Education Commission at (615) 532-8276.
Student Records (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
Vanderbilt University is subject to the provisions of federal law known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (also referred to as the Buckley Amendment or FERPA). This act affords matriculated students certain rights with respect to their educational records. These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the University Registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the University Registrar does not maintain the records, the student will be directed to the University official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of any part of their education records that a student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students who wish to request an amendment to their educational record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the student will be notified of the decision and advised of his or her right to a hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records to third parties, except in situations that FERPA allows disclosure without the student's consent. One such situation is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A "school official" is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including University law enforcement personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted; a member of the Board of Trust; or another student serving on an official University committee, such as the Honor Council, Student Conduct Council, or a grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
The Buckley Amendment provides the University the ability to designate certain student information as "directory information." Directory information may be made available to any person without the student's consent unless the student gives notice as provided for below. Vanderbilt has designated the following as directory information: the student's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, student ID photos, date and place of birth, major field of study, school, classification, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weights and heights of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, and other similar information. Any new entering or currently enrolled student who does not wish disclosure of directory information should notify the University Registrar in writing. No element of directory information as defined above is released for students who request nondisclosure except in situations allowed by law. The request to withhold directory information will remain in effect as long as the student continues to be enrolled, or until the student files a written request with the University Registrar to discontinue the withholding. To continue nondisclosure of directory information after a student ceases to be enrolled, a written request for continuance must be filed with the University Registrar during the student's last term of attendance.
If a student believes the University has failed to comply with the Buckley Amendment, he or she may file a complaint using the Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures as outlined in the Student Handbook. If dissatisfied with the outcome of this procedure, students may file a written complaint with the Family Policy and Regulations Office, U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202.
Questions about the application of the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act should be directed to the University Registrar or to the Office of General Counsel.
Vanderbilt Directory
Individual listings in the online People Finder Directory consist of the student's full name, school, academic classification, local phone number, local address, box number, and permanent address. The printed Vanderbilt Directory also contains these items unless the student blocks them by September 1 using the update option of the People Finder Directory. Student listings in the People Finder Directory are available to the Vanderbilt community via logon ID and e-password. Students have the option of making their People Finder listings available to the general public (viewable by anyone with access to the Internet),of adding additional contact information (such as cellular phone, pager, and fax numbers), and of blocking individual directory items or the listing in its entirety. Students who have placed a directory hold with the University Registrar will not be listed in the online directory. To avoid being listed in the printed directory, the request for a directory hold must be on file prior to September 1.
Directory information should be kept current. Students may report address changes via the Web by going to www.vanderbilt.edu/students.html* and by clicking on Address Change under Student Services.
Refunds of Tuition and Residence Hall Charges
University policy for the refund of tuition and residence hall charges provides a percentage refund based on the dates of withdrawal and residence hall check-out. Students who withdraw officially or who are dismissed from the University for any reason may be entitled to a partial refund in accordance with the established schedule shown below.

Bicycles on Campus
Sections of the Metropolitan Nashville Traffic and Parking Code dealing with bicycles apply both on and off campus. Vanderbilt policy concerning the use of bicycles on campus is as follows:
* Cyclists should exercise caution on campus roadways, which may require walking the cycle under certain circumstances.
* The bicycle speed limit on campus roads is ten miles per hour.
Registering Bicycles
Registration of bicycles at the University Police Department helps to deter theft and helps to identify the owners of bicycles that have been recovered. Bicycles may be registered online at http://police.vanderbilt.edu. Bicycle owners should notify the University Police Department if their bicycles are stolen or if they sell their bicycles or change addresses.
Bicycle Parking
To prevent theft, chains or U-bolts should be used to secure bicycles to racks. Bicycles should not be chained to the decorative grillwork of campus buildings, to hand rails, or to any structures not designated for bicycle use. Bicycles may not be parked in the public areas of campus buildings.
Bicycle Accidents
Persons involved in bicycle accidents that result in personal injury should report the accidents to the University Police Department.
Conduct Endangering Personal Health
Students who engage in a pattern of conduct that endangers their personal health or safety, such as abuse of alcohol or other drugs, denial of sustenance, etc., may be required to participate and make satisfactory progress in a program of medical evaluation and/or treatment, or a program of psychological evaluation and/or treatment, if they are to remain at the University. That determination is made by a panel consisting of the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Housing and Residential Education, the Director of the Student Health Center, the Director of the University Psychological and Counseling Center or University psychiatrist, and an academic dean of the school in which the student is enrolled.
Withdrawal from the University
The University reserves the right to require the withdrawal of a student whose continuation in school, in the University's judgment, is detrimental to the health or safety of the student or others. Students who withdraw for these reasons may be considered for readmission following a determination by the University, often through the Student Health Center, that the condition requiring withdrawal has been corrected. That determination is made by a panel, consisting of the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing and Residential Education, the Director of the Student Health Center or University psychiatrist, and an academic dean of the school in which the student is enrolled.
Address and Name Change
Students are required to inform the registrars of their schools or the University Registrar of any changes in their University or home addresses. Official notifications from the University will be sent to the address listed with the Office of the University Registrar. Student addresses and phone numbers may be updated via the Web. From the Vanderbilt homepage click on "Students" then click on "Address Change".
Students who wish to change any part of their names as they appear in the Student Records System must petition the University Registrar's Office and provide official documentation supporting the requested change. Name changes will be considered only if a student is currently enrolled.
Email Address
Certain federal statutes require that information be delivered to each student. The University delivers much of this information via email. Official electronic notifications, including those required by statutes, those required by University policy, and instructions from University officials, will be sent to students' Vanderbilt email addresses: email@example.com. Students are required to be familiar with the contents of official University notifications, and to respond to instructions and other official correspondence requiring a response.
The University makes every effort to avoid inundating students with e-mail (often called "spam"), and maintains separate lists from which students may unsubscribe for announcements of general interest.
Financial Responsibility
Tuition, fees, and all charges associated with the beginning of the semester are due and payable in full by the beginning of classes. The payment deadline for fall 2005 is August 16; for spring 2006, the payment deadline is January 4. A student who misses the payment deadline for either semester will be charged a 1.5% late payment fee and may have his or her registration cancelled, unless the student has secured authorization from the Office of Student Accounts to delay payment. In addition, OASIS (On-line Access Student Information System), Commodore Card (debit card), and V-Net (long distance telephone) access will not be available for the student's use.
All new and transfer students must complete a Student Account Agreement form prior to August 1, 2005. Forms are available in the Office of Student Accounts or online at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/stuaccts.*
Students and their parents (or legal guardian) will be responsible for payment of all costs, including reasonable attorney fees and collection agency fees, incurred by the University in collecting moneys owed to the University. Students are bound by laws of Tennessee governing bad checks.
Identification Card
All students, whether full- or part-time, are required to have valid identification cards for the semester in which they are registered. Valid identification cards are required for specific activities. These cards are the property of the University and, if a student withdraws, must be relinquished to the office of the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled. Identification cards are not transferable, and damaged or altered cards are invalid.
Replacement cards are available, for a fee, at the Commodore Card Office (http://thecard.vanderbilt.edu).
If misused, cards may be invalidated for the remainder of the semester or the season in the case of specific University-sponsored activities.
Family Identification Card
The spouse or University-certified domestic partner of a full-time student (undergraduate, graduate, or professional) may obtain a family identification card from the Commodore Card Office by presenting proof of marriage (or University certification of domestic partner status). The student spouse or partner must accompany the individual applying for the card. When properly validated and upon payment of the appropriate fee, a family card will admit the family member to home football and basketball games (on a seat-available basis), libraries, programs of Sarratt Student Center, and the Student Recreation Center if a membership is purchased.
Smoking on Campus
Smoking is prohibited in all buildings on campus, including residence halls and Greek houses.
Student Activities Fee
The Activities Fee supports student co-curricular interests and events and assists the Graduate Student Council. Portions of the fee are allocated to Vanderbilt Student Communications, Inc., and its divisions, Sarratt Student Center, and the Athletic Department, as well as a variety of student organizations.

Spouses and University certified domestic partners of full-time graduate and professional students may have their cards validated in this manner as well. Validation for these activities must be made during times announced in the Vanderbilt Register. Other activities included in the undergraduate activities fee are available to graduate and professional students on a single admission or subscription basis only.
Student Recreation Fee
The Student Recreation Fee supports Vanderbilt's recreational programs administered through the Office of Campus Recreation (OCR). Funds are also allocated for the operation of the Student Recreation Center and the University's recreational playing fields.
Recreation Fee for Undergraduates
Each undergraduate student is assessed $188.00 each semester of the academic year and $47 during the summer. The fee covers:
* unlimited use of all facilities of the Student Recreation Center and recreational fields
* participation in intramural, sport club, and wellness programs
* enrollment and participation in outdoor recreational activities
* participation in recreational classes and workshops.
Recreation Fee for Graduate and Professional Students
Each graduate and professional student is assessed $95.00 each semester of the academic year and $47.00 during the summer. Payment of the summer fee entitles graduate and professional students to the same privileges provided undergraduates.
The academic year fee covers:
* half-use of all facilities of Student Recreation Center
* unlimited use of the recreational fields

For all students, use of facilities and participation in recreational programs or classes is on a space-available basis and subject to requirements, including operating hours, set by the OCR. Special student charges are assessed for some classes and activities, as well as for use of certain equipment.
Recreational Activities for Spouses and Partners
Spouses and University-certified domestic partners of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students may use the Student Recreation Center for a fee and participate in recreational classes, workshops, and outdoor programs. In order to use the facility, a spouse or University-certified domestic partner must obtain a Student Family identification card from the Vanderbilt Card Office in Sarratt Student Center. Students should accompany their spouses and eligible partners to the Card Office. Spouses and University-certified domestic partners of medical students should obtain their cards from the Medical Center Card Office, D-2107 Medical Center North. Spouses and partners may inquire at the main desk of the Student Recreation Center concerning registration and payment of fees after a University I.D. card has been obtained.
Waiver of Student Fees
The Student Activities and Recreation fees are mandatory fees set by the Vanderbilt Board of Trust. The fees appear as a combined charge on the regular University statements to students or their parents. An automatic waiver of the student fees will be granted to a student who registers on time and is:
1. a part-time student registered for four or fewer credit hours (including audit credit) or
2. a full- or part-time student residing outside a circle of approximately sixty miles from the Vanderbilt campus determined by ZIP codes. It is the student's responsibility to notify the University Registrar's office of an address change in a timely manner.
Special requests for waivers may be addressed to the Student Activities and Recreation Fees Waiver Committee, VU #356206, 2301 Vanderbilt Place, Nashville, Tennessee 37235-6206.
A late charge of $10 is assessed against students who are eligible for waivers but register after the deadline of September 6 for the fall and after January 24 for the spring. Special requests must also be received by these deadlines to avoid the late charge penalty. No waivers are granted after the end of the semester in which the fee occurs, and there is no waiver of the summer activities and recreation fees.
Same-Sex Domestic Partner Policy
Vanderbilt University extends to the University-certified, same-sex domestic partners of students the privileges and services extended to student spouses, within the guidelines set forth below. Once signed by the appropriate Assistant Vice Chancellor or director in the Office of Housing and Residential Education, the ID authorization document and photo identification serve to enable the named domestic partner to obtain University identification and to obtain privileges and services extended by the University to student spouses. (Note: The Card Office requires that the student partner be present when a card is issued, just as it requires that the student spouse be present when a Student Family card is issued to a spouse.)
University privileges, programs, and services extended to spouses, for which domestic partners are also eligible, may require that additional criteria be met. (For instance, a domestic partner may live in University housing only if the student partner obtains an appropriate contract for an apartment.) Restrictions or fees that apply to spouses also apply to domestic partners. The list below is not meant to be exhaustive.
* Student Activities Fee events
* Health insurance
* Housing
* Identification
* Library
* Psychological and Counseling Center
* Recreation Center
1. Domestic partners must certify (and the University may require documentation of the fact) that they are
* of the same sex
* not related by blood
* mentally competent to consent to contract
* neither legally married to anyone, nor engaged in a domestic partnership with a different partner
* currently in a committed relationship of six months or more, residing in the same household, intending to reside together indefinitely.
2. In addition, domestic partners must show evidence that they are
* 21 years of age (Supporting documents might include a driver's license or a birth certificate.)
* financially interdependent, sharing joint responsibility for the household. (Supporting documents might include bank statements, utility bills, etc., with both the student's and the partner's names on them.)
3. Domestic partners must agree to marry within 180 days after their state of legal residence recognizes the marriage of same-sex couples.
4. Should the certified domestic partner relationship dissolve, the partners must file a Termination Statement within 30 days. A twelve-month waiting period must elapse before a student may certify a new domestic partner.
Universal Waiver
In consideration of Vanderbilt University's providing opportunities to participate in both academic and co-curricular programs and activities, students acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of this consideration, and, by enrolling in Vanderbilt University, agree to release, relieve, discharge, and hold harmless Vanderbilt University, its officers, trustees, faculty, administrators, employees, representatives, and elected and volunteer leaders designated by Vanderbilt University, from any and all liability or claim of liability, whether for personal injury, property damage, or otherwise, arising out of, or in connection with, their voluntary participation in activities and travel associated with programs sponsored by the University or any of its departments, student groups, and other entities.

When a company runs out of money to pay for the workers it has it gets rid of workers until they can afford themselves again. I know that sounds callous because jobs should be as plentiful as air, but they're not.
I hate to burst anyones bubble but your job isn't that important either, compared to air that is. Air sort of defies the laws of economics because its value doesn't go down with its seemingly infinite supply, it's THAT important.
In fact, it's second most important job, at the moment, is to give life...until it's done proving Al Gore wrong.
Compare that to a job that's really rare, the fewer of them the more valued they are, like being president B.O.
If the country had a million presidents, being one of a million would be a lot less impressive than one IN a million. Try dividing the job into a million pieces...that puts each president in charge of one page of ObamaCare. You just can't have that because then the law would REALLY be a mess.
This is just not true with air, being one of a bazillion makes air the king of the hill of all exceptions.
That's why this fight in Wisconsin is too important for Scott Walker, and the universe, to lose.
Because it has transformed into a beast that can never be fed, the public sector unions now think they're better than air. In fact, they think we need them more than air.
They've become so selfish they don't see that money is air for an economy...only A LOT more finite. Even though there isn't any more money the unions have been so big for so long they think they can continue to grow without it, and thus dethrone air.
After decades of this air is trying to be all like, "dude, unions, wtf? If you try to spread like me everything will die!"
But air can't talk, and here we have people like Governor Scott Walker trying to be a voice for the voiceless, and the unions are like, "you're wrong buddy! Look at the state's bank account, we're not choking it to death."
The bottom line is this, air is pretty awesome, even though it's everywhere. Which is actually why it's awesome, because it gets to be an exception to the rules of economics.
When you think of it that way you'll see air is a lot like God. Then there's Satan, who think's he's better than God, and the harder he tries to prove it the more stuff he ruins.
Basically, if we draw this out to it's logical conclusion, we are all innocent bystanders caught in the crosshairs of a sibling rivalry between the Satan and the public sector unions.

The Drip Store high quality 500', 17mm drip irrigation tubing (brown color) with .670 OD from DIG Corporation, some time described as blank tubing, poly tubing or polyethylene tubing is used for commercial and residential applications of drip irrigation installation. This brown drip irrigation tubing is used in the installation with our Excel drip line, Excel CV from DIG and with our 1/2", 17 mm barbed fittings.
Polyethylene drip irrigation tubing is used as the main lateral or as the sub-lateral in the design and installation of drip irrigation or low volume irrigation systems on a wide range of applications, including commercial and residential. The 1/2" polyethylene drip tubing, with .670 OD, from DIG Corporation is available in 250' and 500' coils. This 1/2" brown tubing is made of Dow FINGERPRINT™ DFDA-7510 NT linear low-density polyethylene resin.
The poly drip tubing exhibits a combination of outstanding environmental stress-cracking resistance and burst strength. The Dow FINGERPRINT™ DFDA-7510 raisin used in the manufacturing of DIG, drip tubing, includes an anti-oxidant to protect the end product from thermal degradation. The materials selected contain the Dow FINGERPRINT™ (trace element) that certifies the product and provides verification as to the identity of the drip tubing in the event of failure.
Installation methods using 17mm drip tubing with drip line
Option 1: Installation method using poly drip tubing as the main lateral:
The 17mm drip tubing layout can be placed above or below ground; it maybe started from a hose end, in-line controller or an in-line valve. In the garden area use 17 mm barbed tees and barbed elbows as needed and to extend additional drip tubing to the plant areas. If more drip tubing is needed use a 17 mm barb connector to expand the line. To secure all 1/2" drip tubing to the ground used 1/2" holder stakes. Connect the 17 mm drip line as needed using 17 mm barbed tee
Option 2: Installation method using a PVC pipe as the main lateral and the drip tubing as the sub lateral:
Install a 3/4" PVC pipe below grade and connect the PVC pipe to an in-line valve or to a battery operated controller. In each area to be watered, add a 3/4" PVC tee (3/4" slip x1/2" FNPT) per each line of drip line. To the tee connect a 17 mm barb connector with 1/2" MNPT model LF309. To the barb connect the drip line and secure the 17 mm drip line to the ground using a 1/2" holder stake.
Before we start, we suggest laying the 17 mm drip tubing out in direct sunlight to make it easier to work with. When ready, start to unroll the drip tubing and lay it out per your design drawing or requirement. Use the 1/2" stakes model S035 to secure the drip tubing to the ground in key areas. Space the stakes, model S035 every 10-20' and at the end of each section. If the drip tubing is installed below grade, dig trenches 6" to 8" deep to keep the drip tubing safe from cultivation practices. Leave the end of the drip tubing above surface for periodic flushing.
If the installation requires crossing under a concrete walk or driveway, first dig two holes on opposite sides of the walkway. Next, connect a 3/4" PVC pipe to a garden hose using a 3/4" PVC female adapter, then turn on the water and begin forcing the garden hose with the PVC pipe through the soil. When the end of the pipe reaches the other side, turn off the water and cut the pipe so the 3/4" PVC fittings can be removed. Now, use the PVC pipe as a sleeve and push the drip tubing through the pipe until it appears on the other side.

I'll go through building this baby out here and a simple guide for installing OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 8 on it when it gets here early next week.
- ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
- Intel Core i7-3930K 6-core Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 2011
- Corsair Dominator Platinum 32gb DDR3 1600 Quad Channel
- 2x 512gb SSDs + 128GB Corsair GT SSD cache drive for Bridge/Photoshop
- 2x 3TB storage HDDs SATA 6gb/s (RAID 1)
- 2x EVGA GTX 580s Superclocked
- CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler
- COOLER MASTER COSMOS II RC-1200-KKN1 Full Tower
- Seasonic PSU 1050W
This case is probably one of the most amazing cases I have seen for a PC and I've been building them for 20 years. The only contender to Cosmos II from Cooler Master was Corsair's 800D or 650D (a bit smaller)
