Finalizing Backapyard plans Need Help!
Good afternoon all. I've just cleared my 72' x 50' backyard and I'm ready to start fresh. My plans include a pergola, belgard flagstone patio and walkway and new deck/steps/entryway into the home. I want to make sure my sequence sounds right as well as pose a couple of questions along the way.
First, Im planning on re-doing the irrigation system in order to put beds and hedges in new locations.
Second, the patio is going to be aprox 425 square feet. I need to excavate aprox 12 cubic yards of dirt prior to installing. Question is, should I have the dirt hauled off or spread it throughout te rest of the yard? if my calculations are correct, it would add aprox 1.75'' to 2" of soil to the rest of the yard.
After the excavation, I'm going to install the pergola, run the electrical to it and then the flagstone.
I'm trying to make sure everything is planned out correctly to minimize error. Measure twice, cut once!
First thing you should do is have any underground utilities located.
Then, I would scale your yard to paper or into one of the programs out there for such things. It will make it a lot easier to visualize things, fit elements, and all.
Unless you are planning turf, you should be able to do the rest of the landscaping with drip irrigation. So, for now, you really just have to run what water supply lines you will want underground. If your new landscape calls for turf, now would be the time to layout those systems and watering circuits too of course. Will the valves be remote or central up by the house?
Now would be the time to run any low voltage wiring (or PVC as conduit for adding it later) for landscape lighting if in your plans too. Any water features in your planning now or in the future? And it is often handy to have a hose bib out in the yard where you can tap it without dragging 100 feet of hose. Capped off gas line for a future fire pit, barbecue or other fire feature? In essence, think of everything you might want later that needs components buried now.
Any drainage concerns that need to be addressed?
I would not be anxious to haul off decent topsoil. You may want some raised planters or something at a later point and need it back.
Pergola construction would make sense as your next project.
Then finish grade and put down your patio surface.
You might want to update your profile with basic geographic information.
thanks for the response. We've already had the backyard designed and drawn to scale and hopefully the utilities will be marked in the next few days.
Sounds like I'm on track with your suggestions. Just trying to think ahead and have all the lines run beforehand.
First thing I do is a birds eye view drawing of the area, then go from there.
Also, consider the view from inside the house -- as far as planning where to place things.

How to View or Change Influence.
Ok there are two ways to do this one with commands and one viewing your globals.xml.
For those that don't mind using the console and commands you type;
DebugMode 1
rs kr_influence
This gives you a little dialogue window that will let you view or change Influence with any companion, then type;
DebugMode 0
When and if you want to disable commands.
Second for the strict players, whom could have kept track with notes as each Influence was gained or lost but didn't have the time, you can open your globals.xml in the savegame folder in your My Documents, of the savegame your intrested in checking and do a search for influence no hacks, no edit and no fuss. ;)
I prefer the second method, especially the last 7 words!! :)
I just find some question in their dialogue which gets "Influence: Failed" and then I try to work my way up past that point, so I get it "Influence: Success". That way I have a general idea whether the NPC likes me or not, and can keep track of my progress.
I have to confess, I used this to cheat so I would not have to replay the game to see what would happen if I had better influence.
I got my first influence failure, which was a surprise, but I'm not messing with it - for now ;)
Same here Mike. I can see these aspects of the game giving it a good replay value for me.

Very nice hotel .
Good reception , good food, friendly, compfortable.
Room for improvement
Bed was comfy and clean.
Shower was not great and towel rail was hanging of the wall. Difficulty in finding a seat to have a drink and then to eat although when we ended up in the restaurant this was better. In the morning we had breakfast and coffee, tea and toast did not arrive until we were halfway through breakfast. The music was awful.

Convenient stay over in Calne in a friendly pub
First time I have stayed here.
Very nice rooms in a converted barn at the back of the pub very friendly atmosphere in the pub and enjoyed the evening meal and breakfast live music the evening I stayed but don't let that put you off as they were tucked in one corner and not too loud. You couldn't hear them from the room at all. I will stay again
Read More Less
The room itself looked nice, but it had a strong musty smell. No ventilation possible
Because my room was on the ground floor overlooking courtyard which anyone walking by could access, hence I could not leave the window open.
Also there were no net curtains and there were tables for drinkers in the courtyard, so no privacy unless I closed the curtains - not very nice during hte day and at night time it was not safe to leave the window open and it was noisy with the bar customers. Not much selection for breakfast. Owners were friendly
Read More Less
Booked as an overnighter whilst in transit.
RM 2 was offered and rejected because of damp, stained carpets and stained facilities. Settled on RM 4 which had clean linen and better feel. Closer inspection of the bathroom revealed black mould in the shower cubicle, stained shower tray, non functional mixer unit and MUSHROOMS growing between WC and shower screen. David the owner was invited to inspect and put the fungal growth down to the building being old and an in-efficient cleaner. Mushrooms should be part of the Full English breakfast experience not the bathing experience. On the positive side the food was fine and the beer excellent. The new owners are good people, but possibly in the wrong business.

Our neighbor Jack is a retired widower. He goes to a mainline Baptist church. It's a massive structure on the edge of what some here call the ghetto. Years ago this big church saw the majority of its members take flight to suburban churches with coffee shops and rocking praise bands.
But there is, in that magisterial building, a haggard group of diehards trying to continue on, trying to fulfill the calling to love their neighbors. Jack is one of them.
He once invited my daughter to be in their Christmas musical. They were trying to fill a children's choir from their neighborhood but couldn't find enough kids willing to join, so they resorted to casting their net a little wider. He and my wife, who does much of her work in one of the poorest city neighborhoods, talked about what his church was trying to accomplish.
Jack described the things they were doing, and he himself made the observation, after describing some programs, that their mostly African-American neighbors are not the least bit responsive to their attempts at doing good in the area. [Read more…]

C-DOT hoping federal money can help finish the job
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. - Broken pieces of road and exposed rebar is what's left on Manitou Avenue going into Highway 24.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is working to get the road repaired, but they are looking for Federal money to help them out.
"Highway 24 business loop is 2 to 3 months until it opens again."
But without federal help.
"It could stay closed a little bit longer."
Logs, car parts and drains occupy the once busy road, but the work doesn't end there.
"We have some other areas where we are trying to figure out ways to convey water under Highway 24 and not have that flooding and debris come onto Highway 24."
Even though the state is helping pay for the mitigation effort for Highway 24, more money could speed up the process.
"We had anticipated 2 to 3 weeks of work to complete those improvements but with additional work trying to stabalize the Fountain Creek area this could add another month to that schedule."
C-DOT will find out if it will get any federal money tomorrow in Denver.

The Japanese unit of French luxury brand Louis Vuitton will raise prices for leather items such as bags and wallets by an average of 8 percent July 1, reflecting the yen's steady fall against the euro.
The price hikes announced Friday will be the second this year by Louis Vuitton Japan Co. In February, the company increased the prices of leather and other items by 12 percent on average, citing the yen's depreciation versus Europe's single currency as well as rising materials costs.
The new price hikes will be implemented because of the yen's continued weakness against other major currencies, the firm said.

The Problem of Animal Pain
Full Product Description
Animal suffering constitutes perhaps the greatest challenge to rational belief in the existence of God. Considerations that render human suffering theologically intelligible seem inapplicable to animal suffering. In this book, Dougherty defends radical possibilities for animal afterlife that allow a soul-making theodicy to apply to their case.
The Problem of Animal Pain by Terry Dougherty was published by Palgrave Macmillan in January 2014. The ISBN for The Problem of Animal Pain is 9781349349951.

VERY interesting, I've never noticed this. The ones on my 1982 6" brushed stainless Python are like the ones on your 1986, very grainy with a "sharp" top shoulder.
I'll have to compare them to my other Pythons with 3rd gen stocks. I have a 1980 and a 1978 blued I can compare with. I've really never put them together for a comparison.
Here's the 1978 - biggest picture I have here. They look "softer" more rounded and not as grainy.
Let me dig through the safe this weekend and see what I come up with.
Have fun and be safe.

Clashes erupt after Spanish PM corruption denial
Riot police clashed with protesters in Madrid following the Prime Minister`s televised denial that he had accepted under-the-table payments.
Madrid: Riot police clashed with protesters in Madrid and impromptu demonstrations broke out in several other Spanish cities following the Prime Minister`s televised denial that he had accepted under-the-table payments.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy promised to publicly disclose the amount of funds in all his personal bank accounts, denying recent media reports that allege he and members of his governing conservative Popular Party accepted or made under-the-table payments.
Speaking at a special executive committee meeting yesterday at his party`s Madrid headquarters, Rajoy said "it is false" that he received or distributed undeclared money.
"Next week, my statements of income and assets will be made available to all citizens," he said, adding they would be published on the official website of the prime minister.
By late Saturday it was clear Rajoy`s pledge had failed to defuse popular disquiet as riot police cordoned off several of Madrid`s main avenues in a bid to stop protesters from gathering in large groups.
Attorney General Eduardo Torres-Dulce said Friday there is sufficient cause to investigate allegations of irregular financing within Rajoy`s party. Leading newspaper El Pais has published details of secret papers belonging to former party treasurer Luis Barcenas allegedly documenting undeclared payments.
The money was allegedly paid by businesses, many linked to the once booming construction industry, before the sector imploded in 2008. El Pais said nearly two-thirds of the alleged payments violated Spain`s party financing laws.
"I have never received or handed out `black money` in this party or anywhere else," Rajoy said.
Following the appearance of the allegations, opposition parties demanded Rajoy break his silence of recent days, with some calling for his resignation and the holding of national elections.
Demonstrations broke out late yesterday in Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante, Valladolid, and Sevilla calling on the party to explain its finances. A strong police presence has in every case stopped protesters from getting close to Rajoy`s Popular Party headquarters, saying the demonstrations were not legally convened.
"It`s absurd," said Miguel Gomez, 30, demonstrating about 90 meters from Rajoy`s party headquarters in downtown Madrid as close as protesters could get. "They`re telling us these payments don`t appear in the books, but of course they don`t. We`re talking about `black cash.` They`re having a laugh at our expense."
The revelations come at a delicate moment for Spain, which is beginning to show signs of convincing investors and European authorities that it is serious about reforming the economy and keeping its finances in check to avoid a full bailout like Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus.
The scandal broke when the National Court reported recently that Barcenas had amassed an unexplained USD 30 million in Swiss bank accounts several years ago.

The Legend of Zelda games are beloved by tons of people. Beyond tons. It's a popular franchise, and it just seems to gain new followers and fans as the years move forward. I see a lot of Zelda themed birthday cakes and the like around the internet – there are plenty to drool over. These five especially make me happy.
The above, highly-detailed cookies are by the talented Nerdache Cakes. The tiny Link is my favorite.
Check out four more treats after the break.
I never considered the possibility of an animated cake until I saw this Skyward Sword cake by Will Turnbow and his wife. Yeah, all other cakes have to live up to this now.
Look closely and you'll see these cupcakes make Link and Zelda in 8-bit. These were featured at Stephanie's wedding, and they're a great example of how simply decorated cupcakes can make a big impression.
You just don't see enough of Majora's Mask and as this cake from Cake Crumbs illustrates, we should because it looks gorgeous. I love all the colors and little touches.

Standard Setter updates
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
FASB and IASB form joint transition resource group for revenue recognition
The FASB and the IASB formed a joint transition resource group for revenue recognition (TRG) to inform the Boards about issues that could arise when entities implement the new standard. The TRG will not issue guidance. For more details, see the FASB's TRG webpage.
4 June 2014 FASB meeting
Insurance: disclosures about short-duration contracts - See our To the Point publication above.
Accounting for financial instruments - classification and measurement: The FASB decided that entities that are not public business entities (PBEs) would no longer be required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, financial institutions that are PBEs would no longer be able to measure the fair value of loans receivable for disclosure purposes based on an entry price notion. The Board decided that PBEs would be required to present the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost either parenthetically on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes. The FASB also decided to retain existing US GAAP for balance sheet presentation of financial instruments. However, disclosures would be disaggregated by measurement category and form of the instrument (i.e., loan or security).
For more details, see the FASB's Tentative Board Decisions.

If there's one thing Logitech does right, it's progress. The accessories company has been churning out iPod speakers for years, and its experience in this area shows in each new product. Rather than resting on its laurels, Logitech chugs forward with tweaks and improvements. Such is the case with the Pure-Fi Mobile speaker, the company's first stereo Bluetooth model. This ultracompact unit features a sleek, high-quality design, compatibility with all audio devices, and some nice extras. The $149.99 price tag isn't exactly a bargain and audio quality isn't stellar, but the speaker is a good value given the features and travel-friendly design.
The Pure-Fi Mobile is Logitech's slickest portable speaker to date. At 10.7 inches by 2.8 inches by 0.9 inch, it's noticeably more compact than the Pure-Fi Anywhere. It doesn't have an integrated iPod dock, but considering the multitude of other connection options, this is something we're willing to give up. The Pure-Fi Mobile can stream audio via A2DP (stereo) Bluetooth, or can be hardwired to any audio source via a 3.5mm jack found on the back of the speaker. The unit can even act as a computer speaker, drawing both power and audio from USB. Logitech includes both audio cables (minijack and USB) as well as a wallwart power adapter. There's no remote in the package, but there is a handy padded case for travel.
Along with being super travel-friendly, the Pure-Fi Mobile offers a sleek design with a high-quality build. Four 2-inch speaker grilles line the glossy black front panel, and the unit is wrapped in a nice, brushed silver trim. The backside is wrapped in a smooth, rubbery plastic. Two small-yet-sturdy metal legs flip out from the bottom for added support while the speaker is in use. The top edge of the Pure-Fi Mobile is lined with a variety of buttons. There are call answer, end, and mute keys for using the unit as a speaker phone with a connected phone. Dead center are the power and source buttons; the latter is used for switching audio sources as well as pairing with a Bluetooth audio device (an easy process). Last up are the stereo surround and volume keys.
The Logitech Pure-Fi Mobile speaker is a reasonable performer, especially given the size. On the plus side, wired and Bluetooth audio quality sound roughly equivalent. Unfortunately, neither is spectacular. This speaker doesn't deal in bass, so if you want low-end response, look elsewhere. That said, overall audio sounds passable to good. High-end detail representation is impressive, and the mids are reasonably rich sounding. Music is lacking somewhat in warmth and depth, though, and sounds slightly tinny at times. The stereo separation feature is barely noticeable when activated, but the unit gets incredibly loud and doesn't suffer from distortion at the highest volume--shocking in a speaker of this size. The built-in, rechargeable battery is rated for 12 hours, which is about standard and certainly adequate.

Change Champions at Beta Theta Pi
One hundred seventy years of tradition is a big weight to carry during a governance change effort. Rather than bow to the pressure, the leaders of Beta Theta Pi recruited volunteer champions to lead the charge for change. Here's how they did it, as well as advice on how your association can capitalize on its own change champions.
Anyone who has spent much time as a player in the notoriously rough-and-tumble game of change knows it's not for the faint hearted. Many of you will readily relate to the following fictional (but reality-based) scenario:
Emily was more than disappointed; she was devastated. That morning's board meeting was easily her worst experience in the two years she'd been president and CEO of IAME, an international association dedicated to promoting music education in the primary grades. She'd gone into the board meeting confident that the vote to take some relatively low-cost steps to strengthen IAME governance would be overwhelmingly positive, if not unanimous. But she couldn't have been more wrong.
She'd been meticulous in doing the spadework leading up to the final vote. Her executive committee had given her the go ahead to find a highly qualified consultant to study the current governance structure and process and make practical recommendations for improvement. She and her top lieutenants had closely overseen the consultant's work, shaping the recommendations in his report to the board. And they'd made sure that the recommendations were practical and not overly ambitious: to take a more systematic approach to filling board vacancies with qualified candidates; to create five new seats on the board for at-large members outside the profession; and to uncouple board members, slowly and surely, from a number of nongoverning, technical advisory committees (such as conference-program planning).
But the board meeting had been a disaster. The consultant was only two minutes into presenting his recommendations when a reasonably progressive board member who Emily had assumed would support carefully conceived change observed: "Things have been going pretty well for us. We're in the black. Our membership is growing again. We must be doing something right. As they say, 'If it ain't broke, why fix it?'" And it went downhill from there. After two hours of often hostile and nitpicking questioning, the board decided to table the recommendations, and it was obvious they wouldn't be on the table again anytime soon.
Does this sad story sound familiar? It should, if you've been in the change game for long. Significant change of any kind in any organization, not just in association governance, tends to be difficult under the best of circumstances. In fact, experience has taught that consciously planned and managed large-scale change is the exception to the rule in human affairs.
Perhaps the most formidable enemy of change we've encountered over the years is intense emotional attachment to the way things are and have been, which is a common characteristic of organizations that have been around for a while. This attachment likely has to do with both ego and comfort. Volunteers who successfully climbed the "volunteer career ladder," have, by definition, accomplished results widely recognized as important in their organization. Such success breeds normal ego satisfaction, which fosters an emotional commitment to established structures and processes.
We are not using "ego" in a pejorative sense, by the way. High-achieving people tend to have robust egos, and ego satisfaction can be a powerful force for good. Our only point is that such attachment to established structure and processes can be an important pothole on the road to change.
Another common barrier is the siren song of comfort and safety. In our experience, familiarity, far from breeding the proverbial contempt, tends to foster a feeling of safety and comfort. So when significant change is on the table, it's not uncommon to encounter—at least at first blush—a negative gut reaction. And the older an organization is, the more venerable its traditions are likely to be, and the larger the cadre of those paying allegiance to the past will likely be.
Beating the Odds at Beta Theta Pi
Beta Theta Pi, an international social fraternity headquartered in Oxford, Ohio, is a large, complex nonprofit corporation, with more than 7,000 collegiate members on 120 campuses across North America, around 128,000 alumni members, a $5 million operating budget (including the Beta Theta Pi Foundation), more than 1,100 actively engaged volunteers, and 29 headquarters staff. If there ever was a volunteer-driven association, it's Beta Theta Pi. Witness the fact that the official chief executive officer of this 171-year-old organization is a volunteer, the general secretary, who supervises the highest-ranking full-time professional staff member, the administrative secretary.
In January 2009, the Beta Theta Pi Board of Trustees made two critical decisions that have transformed the board's leadership over the past two years:
- It adopted a "Board Governing Mission" that lays out the board's primary governing functions and responsibilities.
- It put in place a structure of four board governing committees to assist the trustees in accomplishing their detailed governing work.
So how did we beat the formidable odds at Beta Theta Pi and actually accomplish significant governance change? In a nutshell, we transformed nine seasoned Beta volunteers into "change champions," who, as part of what we called the High-Impact Governing Initiative Steering Committee, over a period of six months fashioned the recommended mission and structure. Fueled by powerful feelings of ownership, these change champions took the lead—visibly and passionately—in convincing their peers on the Beta Theta Pi Board of Trustees to adopt the Board Governing Mission and committee structure and actively back their implementation.
The following four keys were critical to turning volunteers into effective change champions at Beta Theta Pi:
- We recruited the right volunteers to become our change champions.
- We fostered powerful feelings of ownership through participation in a well-designed structure and process.
- We paved the way by building full understanding among the Board of Trustees early in the process.
- We avoided overloading the board and choking it on too much change at one time.
Getting the Right Volunteers
Not just anyone can serve as an effective champion for significant change. The Beta Board of Trustees went for the gusto in recruiting a cast of heavy hitters to serve on the Steering Committee, and the extraordinary composition of this nine-member body clearly signaled to the wider fraternity the board's firm commitment to major change.
Four Board of Trustees members on the committee included the fraternity's two highest-ranking volunteers: the president (and chair of the board) and the general secretary (the volunteer CEO). Three Beta Theta Pi Foundation representatives included the foundation board chair. Two former general secretaries rounded out the Steering Committee, bringing their unique perspectives to the mix.
The diverse membership of the Steering Committee was a tremendous asset to the High-Impact Governing Initiative, lending not only considerable knowledge and expertise but also credibility to the change effort. It would have been difficult to assemble a body richer in professional experience, including corporate executive management, medicine, law, financial and consulting services, and higher-education administration.
The chair of the High-Impact Governing Initiative Steering Committee was a natural choice to play the leading role in the two-phased Beta governance improvement effort. First, as a long-tenured Beta Theta Pi trustee with years of successful volunteer involvement in the fraternity, and a successful corporate CEO to boot, he commanded the respect of his fraternity brothers. No one could question his passionate commitment to Beta Theta Pi, nor could he by any stretch of the imagination be seen as a "young turk" attacking the establishment. But his legitimacy had to do with more than earning his spurs as a long-time volunteer in Beta affairs. He had been the most vocal proponent on the Board of Trustees for modernizing the board's governing role, structures, and processes to meet the challenges of a changing world. His colleagues on the board were well aware that he was highly knowledgeable about developments in the field of nonprofit governance.
Building Ownership
Ownership is one of the most powerful forces in the change game. Effective champions for significant change, in our experience, are invariably passionate owners of the change—the polar opposite of an audience for someone else's work. Experience has taught us that ownership is best fostered through involvement in a well-designed process that actively engages volunteers in shaping changes they are being asked to champion.
In this regard, the Beta Theta Pi Board of Trustees made sure the volunteers who agreed to serve on the Steering Committee were involved in a well-defined, methodical process that ensured their strong ownership of the recommendations they would ultimately present to the full board. For example, the Steering Committee began by reaching explicit agreement on a framework within which to fashion its recommendations, consisting of a set of "design guidelines" (for example, a detailed definition of what "high-impact governing" means and the requirement to "preserve the key attributes of the Beta culture" in fashioning recommendations).
The second step the committee took was to reach consensus on the preeminent governance issues to be addressed in the action report (for example, the absence of a "governing mission" laying out the board's primary governing responsibilities and detailed governing functions). And over the course of several teleconferences and an in-person, full-day work session, Steering Committee members were afforded ample opportunity to shape their recommendations to the board. They were truly creators and owners, as far from a passive audience as possible.
Paving the Way With the Board
The full Beta Board of Trustees would ultimately be acting on the recommendations of the change champions serving on the Steering Committee, and so committee members agreed that it would be a serious mistake to hold off detailed board involvement in the High-Impact Governing Initiative to the very end, when the action report would be presented. Early, meaningful involvement would be critical to the effort's ultimate success.
Therefore, a daylong work session of the full board, hosted by the Steering Committee, was a key milestone early in the process. Efforts focused on three specific objectives: to familiarize all trustees with developments in the evolving field of nonprofit governance that the Steering Committee would be taking into consideration in fashioning its recommendations, to provide trustees with an opportunity to review and comment on the governance issues the Steering Committee had identified and the design guidelines being followed, and to involve trustees via breakout groups in brainstorming various aspects of the board's governing work.
Avoiding Overload
Early in the Steering Committee effort it was anticipated that the committee would ultimately recommend action to the Board of Trustees on two fronts: strengthening the board's governing capacity and refining the fraternity's executive structure. Steering Committee members soon realized, however, that if they took on too many important "change chunks" in the governing sphere at once, the Board of Trustees might very well choke, jeopardizing the whole effort. They also recognized that transforming the board into a higher-impact governing body would provide the essential foundation for other governance enhancements, which could be tackled over time in a phased approach. So the committee decided to ask for action only on the Board Governing Mission and new committee structure in January 2009.
The Beta ROI
Two years later, the board's governing committees have been firmly established and are fully functioning. Beta Theta Pi trustees and executive team members overwhelmingly agree that the fraternity has realized a powerful return on its investment of time and money in these governing enhancements. The ROI includes:
- More effective trustee decision making and more efficient use of trustee time, as a result of thorough committee preparation for board meetings
- Closer trustee attention to the complex, high-stakes strategic issues facing Beta Theta Pi
- Greater trustee ownership of governing decisions and judgments as a result of participation in committee deliberations
- A much more engaged board that provides its members with a deeply satisfying governing experience.
In large measure because of meticulous, detailed staff implementation planning, the new structure was put in place without any major glitches. Only two problems were encountered that merit mention: coming up with enough high-level staff time to support the new committees and lack of clear direction on the part of the committee responsible for stakeholder relations. As staff have gained their "sea legs," the time required to support committee deliberations has become more manageable. The stakeholder relations committee has been a tougher nut to crack, largely because its charge was vaguer to begin with than those of the other committees. However, the committee has with considerable effort mapped out a productive role in the external relations area and is now moving forward.
As this is being written, the Board of Trustees is actively involved in Beta Theta Pi's phase-three governance improvement effort, focusing on refinement of the executive structure. The change train at Beta Theta Pi is still traveling down the track.
Sidebar: 4 Lessons From the Change Champions
You can apply the lessons we learned in transforming governance at Beta Theta Pi to accomplish significant change of any kind in your association:
- Recruit a diverse and influential cadre of change champions to spearhead your change effort, particularly to sell change recommendations to their peers.
- Put in place a well-designed structure and process for meaningful involvement as the primary means of turning your change champions into true owners of the change they will be recommending.
- Program into your change process early involvement of the ultimate decision makers who will say "yea" or "nay" on particular change recommendations, whether they are your board or your executive team.
- Don't take on more change than your association can handle at any given time. It's better to start with half a loaf than choke your decision makers on overly ambitious proposals and lose the whole change game.

Key stores such as Marks & Spencer, Next, Arcadia and Matalan are likely to announce rises of up to 6% or even more after shoppers, shaking off the hangover from 11 September, embarked on the biggest High Street spending spree since the late 1980s.
The British Retail Consortium is expected to report retail sales in the five weeks to the end of December up by nearly 7%, double last year's performance. However, the figures will be closely studied by the Bank of England's monetary policy committee for signs of inflation building up, although it will almost certainly hold rates at 4% when
it meets later this week.
Womenswear chain bonmarche yesterday whetted analysts' appetites by unveiling a 4% increase in same-store sales in the seven weeks to 30 December throughout its 240 stores. The strong performance from the group, which aims at the over-45 age range, has reinforced chief executive Steve Bullas' determination to open a further 30 stores.
Nick Bubb, retail analyst at SG Securities, is expecting a revitalised Marks & Spencer, which unveils its spring collection today, to announce a 4% rise in sales during the crucial Christmas period.
The group, which finished 2001 as the best performing stock in the FTSE 100, has pleased its city fan club by its decision to shed its disparate overseas ventures to concentrate on the UK. On Sunday, it said it was still in talks over the sale of its last US business, Kings Super Markets, which could fetch up to £120m.
Forecasts of a sharp uplift in trading at Stuart Rose's Arcadia - the Top Shop and Miss Selfridge's chain - on Wednesday could trigger off a long awaited bid from Icelandic retailer Baugur. Analysts believe it will have to offer up to 330p, against Friday's closing price of 265p, valuing it at £625m.Reuse content

text: All this season i have been reading about how many assists Arroyo would average if he played 48 minutes.Most of that talk is on the detnews forum thankfully. Being is Australia ive seen only a few Pistons games this season.In those games ive watched Arroyo play and be efficient in dishing out assist's,the problem i see with him is that he will play a 2 man game with Mcdyess too often, and not get his other team mates involved enough.To me that makes Arroyo EFFICIENT on the court but not EFFECTIVE. Now with Hunter the pistons wont get big assist's numbers,but he is Effective when on the court,why do i say his effective on the court? Better chemistry on the court with the other player's,then what makes Hunter so valuable to the team is his intangibles that he bring's on the hardwood. So i would be more comfortable in having the EFFECTIVE Hunter on the court then the EFFICIENT Arroyo.

Sometimes when we are putting together the user group meetings things change. Opportunities arise and we get a chance to take a cool meeting and turn it into a great meeting. That happened with this months meeting and it's going to be great.
A couple things are different for this month… time and topic. This month instead of meeting at 3:00 PM we are meeting at 5:00 PM. And the reason for the change is that we have Itzik Ben-Gan (blog) stopping by for a presentation.
The Presentation
This month he'll be teaching a course at Benchmark Learning. His course is Advanced T-SQL Querying, Programming and Tuning for SQL Server 2005 & 2008. If you want more than what you suspect will be at the meeting, then this class is for you.
What can you suspect will be at the meeting this month? Well, how about this?
Query Tuning Tips
Given a SQL Server querying problem there's much that you can do to enable a good performing solution. Tuning involves arranging an optimal physical environment, e.g., by creating supporting indexes, as well as writing the query in a way that it would get an optimal execution plan. Many factors can affect the efficiency of the solution including the availability of indexes, data distribution and density, and others. In different scenarios, a different solution could be the most efficient for the same querying problem. Query tuning could be considered an art. This session will provide various tips to do efficient query tuning and demonstrate those through specific tuning examples.
Pretty cool stuff, eh?
And the Rest of the Details…
This month's meeting sponsor is Digineer. They'll be providing the food and beverages. Digineer happens to be my employer and if you're local and looking for a company with talent and skill this is a good place to look.
Date: July 20, 2010

Learning about nutrition by gardening
Little People's Academy plants seeds of health
Idaho Falls, IDAHO - The Little People's Academy in Idaho Falls is taking a creative approach to nutrition.
The school received a grant from the Idaho Department of Education, Child Nutrition Program to grow their own food.
Preschoolers gathered outside in the vegetable garden and were eager to get their hands dirty and learn where their food comes from.
"Today we planted squash, tomatoes, zucchini and pumpkins the kids grew from the seeds. A plum tree, rhubarb, a little bit of everything. We have this opportunity to teach young children that peas are good and beans are good, right when they're making those decisions, and to help show their parents see that they can eat those things," said Laurie Barnes, accountant for Little People's Academy.
The lessons begin in the garden then expand on healthy habits in the classroom.
"Like My Plate. It's a lesson that's designed to show them how much of their plate should be fruits and vegetables, how much should be dairy," said Barnes.
All ages get involved in the school garden. The 2-year olds plant carrot seeds in colorful pots they designed, and kindergartners are learning how to plant a pumpkin patch.
"Well first you dig a hole, then you put a little water in there then you put the plant and put a little soil around it," said six-year old Jacob Eberspacher.
The goal of the program is to get kids excited about nutrition.
"It's going to grow a pumpkin, in a few weeks, like seven weeks I think. It'll sprout a pumpkin that's the color orange," said Eberspacher.
Sometimes they even try foods they wouldn't normally eat.
"They think they don't like tomatoes and then they pick it off the plant and eat it and all of a sudden it's wonderful. We hope they grow an appreciation for fresh food for whole foods and then we hope they continue that when they're adults," said Barnes.
The school also has "Taste Test Tuesdays," students are encouraged to try something new each week.
At the end of the summer they host a harvest dinner made from the food they've grown.

Super Paint and Primer question
I live in the south east where we have high humidity pretty much year round. Last year toward the end of summer, very early fall I scraped and then primed with a Sherwin Williams oil based primer. I had sanded to bare wood in a lot of areas. Well we had one of the coldest falls and winters ever here last and this year. Well, I didn't get a chance to top coat with the super paint and some of that primer has since popped up. Now I know that you are supposed to prime before painting with super paint, but I'm tryin to get this knocked out before the weekend is over. I've gone back and scraped and sanded everything again. Those of you that have painted in real humid areas, what can I expect if I don't re prime those bare areas? Pop up city? I intend to put two coats of SP on by the way.
I would re-prime any raw substrate and re-prime what you primed already primer is intended to be top coated with paint within 15-30 days.
Same here.
I went back and re-primed and painted until 11:30 tonite:censored:
Thanks guy's!:thumbsup:

My Ride: 2001 318i & 325i
Lucky Escape
Just bought a 2001 318i to complement my wife's 2001 325i and replace my aging 1993 525i (394,000km).
Picked up car Thursday and drove 80km home. Car drove well.
Friday morning, washed and cleaned car and checked oil and water - all normal. Fixed a few minor issues and went for a short drive. Yellow low water light came on for 10 secs - curious, perhaps a faulty sensor.
Changed and went out for lunch, 20km away, all good. Did some errands and noted low water light came on again, this time for 30 secs. All the time the temp only rose to 12 o'clock position. Raining now, arrived home and switched off while I moved the 525 out of garage to make room for 318i. Only then saw steam coming from around the bonnet. Thought it might be heat from engine steaming the rain drops off the bonnet. Backed into garage, temp still at 12 o'clock, and switched off. Water everywhere. Let it cool off and looked for problem. Hoses seemed OK, radiator and electric fan dry.
In the morning proceeded to refill system. Massive split in expansion tank!
Waiting for a new tank from Clickable (thanks Lucas) and it should assemble and be all good again.
A lucky escape as it seemed to have blown during the 5 mins it was sitting in the drive.

Wooting instead of studying for my Marketing final in two and a half hours... Whoop.

Oh yea! Now you can sell this for $4.99 after I bought one for $9.99 last time!

Maybe this one will actually scream. Mine from the last woot-off is a flying deaf-mute.

Why are people buying a bunch of monkeys?
Do they come with other things?
I got one a while back and turned it into a cylon.

I doubt they'll have Big o' Cosmos's in woot offs anymore. The last one failed miserably in my opinion. I was on at 11pm my time last time, and kept giving me server errors.
Oh Woot, get over yourselves.
I keep waiting for you to start selling giant magnetic Woot! decals for us to stick on our cars so you can have more free advertising that WE pay YOU for.
Woot, you have sold you soul to the Beelzebub of online retailers - Amazon - and now your customers are paying the price.
Oh hell yea. Missed this last time.
Do got! I is happy one.

I am a newbie to handguns. I have watched what feels like a million Youtube videos trying to decide on my first 9mm handgun purchase. After some waffling, I narrowed it down to two guns - the Glock 19 and XDm 3.8 Compact by Springfield.
I actually drove TWO HOURS to a gun range that rents guns (none in my area) and said they had a Gen 4 G19 AND XDm (although in the full size). I thought this would help me narrow it down. HOWEVER, when I got there this morning they could not find their XDm anywhere. So Icould only shoot the Glock.
I shot about 100 rounds through it and really liked it, particularly to a Smith M&P I shot as well. I had been leaning towards the XDm prior to the trip but now I am totally torn. Do I go ahead and get the Glock19 since I liked it when I shot it or do I go ahead toward the XDm because it feels good in my hand and I like its looks slightly better (but haven't shot it so can't say for sure)??
I can't decide what to do and was going to get a gun Wednesday.
BTW, while I was there, I also shot a Wilson CQB 1911 (about a $4,000 gun) for kicks. Out of 200 rounds total, it was the only gun that had a FTF! Ha ha! Gun range guy said it had not been cleaned in forever.
So what should I do? Convince me one way or the other. TIA
BTW - as far as details. This is what I like about the Glock 19:
1. It just seems to feel right when I pick it up (not necessarily the grip specifically but overall size and weight)
2. It IS a Glock - very reliable, durable, dependable, etc
3. Lots of Glock accessories out there and easier to find someone to work on them locally
4. I really liked shooting it at the range
And the Xdm:
1. I prefer the more modern, aggressive look over the plain jane Glock slightly
2. The gun WITH THE EXTENSION feels great ergonomically in the grip. (Without the extension I preferred the grip on the Glock)
3. The match grade barrel seems like an upgrade to the Glock.
4. I like the rear safety idea.
5. Seems easier to conceal (if I decide to do that down the road) with the flush mag.
6. For $64 dollars, it comes in a nicer case with a holster and mag belt holder.
7. People KEEP talking about the spring fail on the Gen 4 Glock. I have seen nothing like that on the XDm.

Will there ever be an alternative to surgical intervention for minor neck skin tightening and jowl reduction? One that works consistently?
It seems with all the advances that have been made in plastic surgery that a less invasive procedure might be found for individuals who don't want to be cut. Is that just plastic surgery's method for ensuring job security?
It seems that many surgeons feel that surgery is the answer for almost every aspect of aging in middle aged females and want to do a huge surgery for every tiny facial droop, thus rarely giving non surgical interventions as an option.

The frigid gray eyes swung back to the sight that was revealed on Iapetus.
Iapetus on the whole may be said to shine as a star of the 9th magnitude.
Homer mentions specially two of them, Iapetus and Cronus; but Hesiod enumerates thirteen.
He was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, one of the Oceanides.
Atlas, the son of Iapetus, was doomed to bear the heavens on his shoulders.
The presumptuous son of Iapetus, by an impious fraud, brought down fire into the world.
But the noble son of Iapetus outwitted him and stole the far-seen gleam of unwearying fire in a hollow fennel stalk.
The view of Saturn was awesome, even from Iapetus' orbit two million miles away.
Iapetus was considered the original ancestor of the human race, as the father of Prometheus and grandfather of Deucalion.
