1 Walt McBride Meetings Procedure, Organization, and Public Participation During city council meetings, decisions are made that formally set municipal programs in motion, enact ordinances, adopt policy, and authorize the expenditure of city funds. 1 This chapter discusses the conduct of meetings, preparation for meetings, rules of procedure, and encouragement of citizen participation. Citizens draw conclusions about the effectiveness of their governing body from the manner in which public meetings are organized and conducted. Not only are orderly and well-run meetings more enjoyable, they also help establish a more positive city image. Disorderly and poorly conducted public meetings reflect negatively upon the city, its governing body, and staff. MEETINGS Before exploring how to have an effective meeting, it s important to understand what a meeting is. According to state law, a meeting occurs when a quorum of the members of the governing body of an agency or of any committee of its members created by such governing body, whether standing or special, pursuant to schedule, call, or notice of or from such governing body or committee or an authorized member, at a designated time and place at which any public matter, official business, or policy of the agency is to be discussed or presented or at which official action is to be taken or, in the case of a committee, recommendations on any public matter, official business, or policy to the governing body are to be formulated, presented, or discussed. 2
2 2 Meetings and Public Participation Therefore, nearly every time the council assembles as a group, a meeting occurs. While the law does provide a few exceptions, it is important to be mindful of the spirit of the law. This code section is intended to make the policy-formulation process more transparent to citizens. City councils hold several different types of meetings: regular meetings, work sessions, executive sessions, special meetings, and public hearings. Regular Meetings Regular meetings are official meetings held periodically to consider municipal business, make policy decisions, approve contracts, establish budgets, and enact ordinances or resolutions. Their time and frequency are usually specified in the city charter or by ordinance. Work Sessions Work sessions provide members the opportunity to meet with staff in order to delve into complex issues, discuss solutions and alternatives, give direction to staff, finalize agendas, or create consent agendas. Work sessions may be held immediately prior to a regular meeting or may be held at other times established by the council. Premeeting work sessions may be used by councilmembers to prepare for upcoming regular meetings. These meetings are typically less formal and are often used for information gathering; no formal votes are taken. However, it should be noted that premeeting work sessions are subject to the open meetings law. Executive Sessions Council meetings that are closed to the public are often referred to as executive sessions. Such meetings may only be held for the specific, limited purposes authorized by law, and the council must comply with statutory procedures when closing a meeting. These private sessions are held with the elected officials and any staff or appointed professionals necessary to the discussion. Special Meetings These meetings are usually convened to discuss and vote on one or a limited number of specific issues. For example, a special meeting may be held to take action on a controversial rezoning request. Because there may be a number of people wishing to comment regarding the request, holding a special meeting to address the issue is an effective way to avoid
3 Meetings and Public Participation 3 an otherwise long and drawn out regular meeting. Special meetings may also be convened during an emergency. Public Hearings Public hearings allow citizens to express opinions on matters of public concern. Generally, no official action is taken during a public hearing. Some hearings are required by law, but they may also be used by the council for other matters. They may be called in order to gather facts related to proposed action or to gauge public opinion by allowing citizens the opportunity to comment on a specific topic, such as a land-use plan. They may also be used as town hall meetings to meet members of the public and learn about their concerns. Finally, they can be used to allow the citizens to vent their frustrations. Public hearings may be held as a part of a regular or special meeting, or they may be entirely separate meetings. Although there are many opportunities to meet, official decisions may only be made in regular, open meetings of the elected body. At such meetings, issues are publicly debated, and action is taken. Local officials must resist the temptation to make final decisions prior to official meetings and then rubber-stamp them at the official meeting. PREPARING FOR MEETINGS As an elected official, you bear a heavy burden: you will be making decisions that will determine your city s future. You owe it to your constituents to represent them well. This responsibility includes being prepared to lead. Do your homework. Study the issues and have the facts in hand before the meeting. Review the data, reports, and background information provided by the staff before arriving at city hall, including pertinent municipal ordinances. Evaluate alternatives and be prepared to debate your position effectively. A councilmember who comes to a meeting unprepared may unwittingly and unnecessarily slow down the meeting. The rules of order that your city use will help keep debate civil, but you also must keep your temper in check. It is embarrassing and unprofessional when a mayor or councilmember loses control in a public meeting. In such cases, the mayor or whoever is chairing the meeting may have the unruly member removed from the meeting. You and your fellow elected officials should know who is responsible for setting the meeting agenda. Determine how the agenda is set, how
4 4 Meetings and Public Participation you can add something to it, and the agenda deadlines. You also should decide as a group how the agenda will be changed, if necessary. RULES OF PROCEDURE Clear, up-to-date, written rules of procedure make it easier to transact municipal business in an orderly manner. To be effective, a councilmember needs to know the rules of procedure for city council meetings. A city s charter may provide for specific rules of procedure, or it may be silent. In this case, the city council may adopt a standard guide to parliamentary procedure, such as Robert s Rules of Order, or may design its own rules of procedure. Although every local government should adopt a set of procedural rules to govern its meetings, there is no state law requiring adoption of a particular set of rules. Purpose Rules of order for public meetings should help manage the conduct of the city council; they should not get in the way of transacting the people s business. Whatever rules your council adopts, they should conform to the following three principles: 1. Rules should establish and maintain order by providing a clear framework for the conduct of a meeting. 2. Rules should be clear and simple, facilitating wider understanding and participation. 3. Rules should be user friendly, meaning they should be simple enough that citizens feel able to participate in the process. The following essential elements should be included: 1. A clear statement recognizing the hierarchy of law. The U.S. Constitution and federal law, the Georgia Constitution and state law, and the city s charter override any procedural meeting rules the council may adopt. 2. The manner and requirements for calling and convening special meetings and the quorum necessary for transacting business. 3. Designation of who shall preside over meetings in the absence of the mayor and the mayor pro tem. 4. A standard order of the agenda (for instance, call to order, roll call, minutes, approval of minutes, amendments to the agenda, adminis-
5 Meetings and Public Participation 5 trative and fiscal matters, appearances or public comment, reports, old business, new business, adjournment). 5. Designation of a parliamentarian. (Unless the parliamentarian is the chair, his or her findings are advisory because the chair makes decisions of procedure subject to appeal by the body.) 6. Rules limiting debate. This section should include rules governing the public forum or public comment section of the agenda; including rules regarding speakers representing groups, limitations on repetition of the same information, and a method for granting additional time to speakers. 7. Any instances in which a supermajority (i.e., more than a simple majority) is required for passage. If a city adopts a set of standard rules by reference, any exceptions to the supermajority requirements of the referenced rules should be noted in the council s ordinance. 8. Requirements for second and subsequent readings of ordinances and other official actions of the governing body. 9. A procedure for suspending the rules, if any. 10. A requirement that all members of the governing body vote on all business before the body unless they publicly declare a conflict of interest and recuse or remove themselves from consideration of the matter in accordance with state laws and local procedures and policies for dealing with conflicts of interest. 11. Rules for enforcing decorum and proper conduct. 12. A procedure for appealing the decisions of the chair. 13. Provision for the use of general consent when the chair establishes that there is unanimity to advance the business of the council more rapidly, including rules governing the use of a consent agenda, if desired. Published in 1876 by Gen. Henry Martyn Robert, Robert s Rules of Order has become the most familiar guide to parliamentary procedure and is used by a variety of organizations including governments at the federal, state, and local levels. 3 However, the rules were not drafted with local governments in mind and do not address certain idiosyncrasies of and issues related to local government, such as the need for public comment and public hearings, the provision of special mayoral powers or limits to such powers in state statutes or local charters, the use of abstentions for political purposes, or the special role of staff during city council meetings. Robert s Rules of Order also assumes that all meeting participants will
6 6 Meetings and Public Participation conduct themselves with decorum and respect and that they will always follow the rules and abide by the decisions of the chair. Despite its limitations, Robert s Rules of Order does describe the major rules of parliamentary procedure that a local government needs to conduct productive, efficient meetings, including the making of motions, the management of debate, the process of voting, and is widely recognized as the preferred way of running public meetings. If a council decides to create its own rules of procedure, it may still defer to Robert s Rules of Order where the charter and local ordinances are silent. Although the current edition of Robert s Rules of Order is complex and lengthy, its essential principles are actually quite simple. It systemically and logically sets forth meeting rules based on a hierarchy of rights: rights of the majority to decide and to prevail, rights of the minority to be heard, rights of individual members, and rights of absentee members. When seen as protecting these rights, rules of order and procedure will generally preserve harmony in a group, even when there are distinct disagreements about the substantive public policy matters under consideration. Ultimately, the will of the majority prevails, but that same majority must allow participation by members who do not represent the majority position; to do otherwise or to set aside the rights requires a supermajority vote. The rights of absent members are also partially protected by quorum rules and procedures governing setting and changing the agenda. Order of Business City council meetings should follow an order of business formally included in its rules of procedures. The council should not depart from this order except in unusual cases and then only by majority vote. An order of business makes it easier to prepare the agenda and minutes and because it provides predictability, it engenders greater public confidence. The Agenda The agenda constitutes the governing body s agreed-upon road map for the meeting. A formal, written agenda following the official order of business should be prepared in advance of each meeting. An agenda provides an outline of items to be considered and usually lists them in order of priority. The agenda must list all items that are expected to be considered at a particular meeting. 4 It may also briefly state what action is requested of the city council and any previous action taken by it. State law requires that the agenda be made available to the public and be posted at the meeting site. 5 Although state law allows councilmembers to add necessary items to the agenda after it is posted, 6 last-minute ad-
7 Meetings and Public Participation 7 ditions that introduce material members may not have had time to study should be avoided. City councils should establish a deadline for submitting requests or communications for inclusion in the agenda and include them in the rules of procedure ordinance. Any item received after the deadline should be held over for the next meeting unless the majority of councilmembers present at the meeting vote to add it to the agenda. A sample agenda includes the following: 1. Call to order/roll call/quorum check 2. Invocation/pledge of allegiance 3. Approval of minutes from previous meeting 4. Approval of the order of the agenda 5. Called public hearings 6. Public forum/citizen comment time 7 7. Reports (from officers, committees, special presentations, other) 8. Old/unfinished business 9. New business 10. Consent items 11. Tabled items/hold items 12. General comments 13. Adjournment Discussion The same basic format should be followed for discussion on each item on the agenda. The chair does the following: Announces the agenda item, sometimes by number, clearly stating the subject. Invites reports from staff, advisory committees, or other persons charged with providing information to the body. Asks if any councilmembers have any technical questions that require clarification. Asks for public comments or, if at a public hearing, opens the hearing to public input and at the end of the public comment section announces that public input has concluded or the public hearing has ended and that the balance of the discussion will be limited to the members of the body, unless the council waives this rule by majority vote.
8 8 Meetings and Public Participation Invites a motion from the governing body and, when received, announces the name of the member making the motion and the person seconding the motion if a second is required by the body s rules of procedure. Ensures that the motion is clearly understood, either by repeating it or by asking the clerk or the author of the motion to repeat it. Moderates a discussion of the item until a final motion is ready for a vote or other disposition. Transacting the business of the council in this fashion provides consistency in the decision-making process and assures that the members of the governing body consider all available information before making a decision. PARTICIPATING IN MEETINGS In addition to the mayor, who usually presides over city council meetings, and the councilmembers, nearly every city has at least two appointed officials in attendance to perform tasks vital to the conduct of meetings. They typically include the city clerk, the city manager or administrator (or other administrative officer), and the city attorney. Presiding Officer Usually, the mayor is the presiding officer of the city council. Depending on the city charter and ordinances, the mayor may be able to vote only in the case of a tie vote or may be allowed to vote on all issues. The council usually elects one of its members as mayor pro tem to serve in the mayor s absence. The performance of the presiding officer is the key to effective, businesslike meetings. He or she is responsible for ensuring that meetings are orderly, conducted in conformity with the rules of procedure, and progress at an appropriate pace. At the same time, the presiding officer is responsible for ensuring that councilmembers and citizens have ample opportunity to express their views. Other Members of Council The elected councilmembers are the policymakers. City councilmembers share with the presiding officer the responsibility for properly conducted meetings. This responsibility includes having respect for one another s
9 Meetings and Public Participation 9 views and being willing to compromise, when possible, for the good of the city. The city council must use its best judgment on how much time to spend examining a problem before reaching a decision. Actions of a city council should be deliberate and carefully weighed for possible consequences. Members will probably never know as much as they would like to about the consequences of various actions. However, failure to make a decision or to take action can create as many problems as a decision made too quickly. The city council must strike the proper balance between the two extremes. In any case, the city council should not allow a vocal minority that chooses to attend a particular meeting to unduly determine the outcome of a decision. Councilmembers must act for the good of the majority of the citizens. City Clerk The city clerk is the official record keeper. Although the role of the clerk varies widely from city to city, all clerks are responsible for keeping the official minutes of council meetings. The clerk s duties may also include preparing and distributing the meeting agenda, bookkeeping and maintaining other records, preparing and processing correspondence and reports, and managing the city council office. The clerk will typically make certain that all meetings are advertised in accordance with the Open Meetings Act. Manager or Administrator If the city has a manager or administrator, he or she should attend all meetings of the city council. This officer plays a significant role in preparing business to be considered at city council meetings. He or she is called upon to gather data, develop and evaluate alternatives, make policy recommendations to the city council, and carry out the intentions of the council. The role of the manager or administrator is largely determined by the city council. A good relationship between the city council and the manager or administrator can result in a smooth transition between policy making and implementation. Such a relationship can also improve the effectiveness of councilmembers and reduce the amount of time they must spend in meetings. City Attorney The city attorney advises the city council on its powers and duties under the law. He or she is usually required to attend meetings of the council
10 10 Meetings and Public Participation in order to give legal advice on matters before the council, making certain that members abide by all applicable laws and keeping abreast of city programs and problems. The attorney may also be asked to prepare ordinances and resolutions, charter amendments, and other legal documents. He or she also advises other city officers on official legal matters and represents the municipality in court. Every city needs an attorney who is accessible to city officials at all times. This person does not necessarily need to be a full-time officer but should advise the councilmembers in the deliberations and decisions of the city council. Many city attorneys serve as the council s parliamentarian, but there is no requirement that the attorney fill this role. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Georgia law requires that virtually all council meetings be open to the public, but the law does not require that members of the public be allowed to speak. Nonetheless, most local governing bodies adhere to the principle that citizens should have the right to petition their elected representatives; allowing time for public comment and debate at meetings maintains elected officials accessibility and communicates the desirability and value of citizen input. The order of business for council meetings and the preparation of the agenda affect public participation. A council must balance the desire for public participation with its legitimate need to proceed with its regular business in an orderly and expedient fashion. The Consent Agenda A consent agenda can be useful when commissioners have a great deal of business to consider. A consent agenda typically includes items that require a decision but are not controversial. A consent agenda includes action items on which little or no discussion is anticipated or items that have been previously discussed (and possibly voted on) but that require final approval. Any item can be removed from the consent agenda for discussion by the full group and have a separate vote taken on that item if requested by one or more members of the group. Some local governments place the consent agenda near the end of the meeting because its contents are generally noncontroversial and rarely involve public comment (e.g., issuance of permits, street closure requests, authorizing payment of bills), while other local governments elect to place the consent agenda near the beginning of the meeting (after approval of the order
11 Meetings and Public Participation 11 of the agenda) in the event an item on the consent agenda is judged to be controversial or is the subject of additional public input. A consent agenda can save time, but items should not be placed on the consent agenda to discourage public participation The public is more likely to participate in meaningful discussion if they are familiar with the governing body s agenda process and with its rules of procedure. In addition to printed agendas, many cities also distribute the written rules for public comment and a simplified version of the council s rules of order and procedure. The Basic Rules of Parliamentary Procedure The following are the basic rules of parliamentary procedure: 8 The rights of the organization supersede the rights of individual members. All members are equal and have equal rights to attend meetings, make motions and debate, and vote. A quorum must be present to conduct business. A quorum is the number of members required to be present to legally conduct business. The majority rules. The minority has the right to be heard but must abide by the majority s decision. Silence is consent. Nonvoting members agree to accept the majority decision. A two-thirds vote is necessary when limiting or eliminating members rights or when changing a previous decision. A motion must directly relate to the question under consideration, and once a speaker has been granted the floor another member may not interrupt. The presiding officer may not put a debatable motion to a vote as long as members wish to debate it. Once a question is decided, it is generally out of order to bring up the same motion or one essentially like it at the same meeting. Personal remarks are always out of order in debate. Debate must be directed to motions and principles, not motives or personalities.
12 12 Meetings and Public Participation Two of the most misunderstood rules of parliamentary procedure are motions to table and to call the question. Tabling or Postponing After considerable debate, the council still may not be ready to vote on a motion. In that case, members may propose the following: That the motion be postponed until the next meeting so that more information can be gathered. That the motion be postponed temporarily (that is, table the motion), setting it aside until later in the meeting to allow more urgent business to be dealt with, permit amendments to be drafted, or allow time for implications of the motion to be checked. A motion to take from the table brings it back before the meeting. A motion to table is not debatable; a motion to postpone may be the subject of debate unless the city s rules of procedure provide otherwise. That the motion be withdrawn at the request of its mover, but only if no member who is present objects. Calling the Question Someone who yells question! from the floor indicates that he or she wants the motion put to a vote. Generally, the chair should not allow normal and reasonable debate to be cut short. A motion to call the question or in any way limit debate must be seconded and requires a two-thirds majority vote in order to then proceed with a vote on the main motion on the floor. When special circumstances, the unique wishes of the governing body, tradition, or other reasons dictate that meetings proceed in a manner not envisioned by Robert s Rules of Order or any other adopted model of meeting procedure, the procedure for setting aside the rules should be clearly delineated in the body s own rules. A city s rules of procedure could also address a councilmember making general comments at the conclusion of a meeting; these remarks will not necessarily lead to a motion. Encouraging Citizen Attendance City council meetings offer an excellent opportunity for citizens to learn from and speak to their elected representatives. To encourage greater citizen participation, consider the following suggestions:
13 Meetings and Public Participation 13 Provide adequate notice of meetings. Printing the time and location in the legal notice section of the local newspaper is not enough. Publish the agenda in the newspaper. Take advantage of free time that radio and television stations are required to provide for public service announcements. Post an eye-catching copy of the agenda in public buildings and stores. Schedule and situate meetings for maximum attendance. Weekday evenings are usually more convenient. Arrange for adequate parking. Furnish a comfortable setting for meetings. The meeting room should be well maintained, adequately lighted, at a comfortable temperature, and large enough to accommodate the public. There should be good acoustics or a public address system and adequate seating for citizens. City councilmembers should face the audience and one another; a semicircular arrangement is effective. The clerk, attorney, and other municipal officials should be seated where they can best assist in the meeting. Schedule business for maximum participation. Scheduling subjects of greatest public interest early in the meeting is usually a good idea. Distribute the agenda and other information liberally. As citizens enter the meeting room, they should be given a copy of the agenda. A seating chart of councilmembers reflecting the respective areas they represent, a simple organization chart of city government, and a list of the names of the chief administrative officers are also helpful. Use visual aids for presentation. Topics often can be presented visually for greater clarity. Zoning change requests, budget presentations, and reports, for example, can be made more informative and interesting through the use of visual aids Assist the news media. Media reporters should be seated at a table where they can easily see and hear the proceedings. Upon entering the room, they should be given a copy of the agenda. Data, reports, and memoranda sent with the agenda to city councilmembers prior to the meeting should also be available for reporters. Public meetings can be satisfying for participants when they are well run, focus on the objectives, and end on time.

|Writer of Episode
This episode was written by Cobweb (t∣b∣c), the guy who made Ghost Smile.
Anti-Blaze: You know what you are?
ML: Brilliantly fantastic? No? Fantastically brilliant?
Anti-Blaze: No, you are so bullet hole-style dead.
Anti-Blaze pulls the trigger.
Then time stops.
WARNING: This episode contains a good deal of violence. I bet you'll read it anyway, though.
As Anti-Blaze raises her gun, there is a bang, and a small, round hole appears in her forehead.
Anti-Blaze: Well, that's-
Another hole appears on her chest. Anti-Blaze stumbles backward and collapses on the ground.
ML: Er...
Hiro steps out of the shadows, carrying a gun.
ML: Hiro?! You... you saved me?!
Hiro: Duh.
Clyde: Why? I thought you despised him!
Hiro: Of course I do. I just didn't want someone else to kill him before I did.
Henry: Um, you're not drunk again, are you?
Hiro: No. Got cleaned up. And the one thing I remembered upon waking from my drunken stupor is that I really, really hate you.
Hiro raises his gun at ML's head.
Hiro: And this time no one's going to jump out of the shadows and save you.
As Hiro speaks these words, the gang hears the sound of four guns being cocked. The guns are held by Anti-Marine, Jack, Mars, and Vince...
Jack: Our superiors have ordered us to attack you!
Henry: Aaaack!
Mars: We don't know why, but if we want to impress them, we better follow orders!
Vince: We're going to kill you all!
Anti-Marine: Face it, you're screwed
Hiro: Pfffft.
Hiro nonchalantly shoots Vince, Mars, Jack, and Anti-Marine.
ML: I think you may have saved the day, Hiro!
Hiro: You're next.
A bulky, bald man with yellow eyes steps into the light, smiling.
Yellow Eyed Man: Good job.
Hiro: And who are you?
Yellow Eyed Man: I speak for the producers.
Clyde: Didn't Hiro just kill the producers?
Yellow Eyed Man: Ha... Vince? Mars? Jack? They were just a psychotic offshoot. They came up with the idea for this show, and then let it get to their heads.
ML: What? They came up with this idea?
Yellow Eyed Man: They decided they had to impress their bosses, and did so by trying to buy some sort of machine from a demon... pah. They were becoming a threat, and my superiors did not want to have any dealings with demonic entities, so they ordered the three fools to come here and try to kill you. Of course, they had also arranged for Hiro to arrive here at the same time. We knew good and well that Vince, Mars, and Jack were no match for him.
Hiro: ...two things. First of all, I came here of my own free will.
Yellow Eyed Man: You underestimate our power, Hiro…
Hiro: Second, why was that raccoon here?
Yellow Eyed Man: Anti-Marine? Oh, she was a once-useful pawn. We hadn't planned on getting rid of her, but she wanted to come along with them, so we figured, hey, why not?
Clyde: So why are you here, anyway? Just to tell us this?
Yellow Eyed Man: Well, I had to confirm that Mars, Vince, Jack, and Anti-Marine were dead… but I also came here to recruit.
ML: …recruit…?
Yellow Eyed Man: You have done marvelously well, Locke. You got rid of both your duplicate and the weird guy with the sinister air around him. So we'd like to promote you.
ML: Promote me?
Yellow Eyed Man: Promote you. With those four dead, that means we have four openings. You will fill one of those openings.
ML: Uh, neat, I guess.
Yellow Eyed Man: I will allow you to remain here, hosting Fandemonium, for a while. After episode 50, I will be back.
Clyde: I'm getting confused…
ML: You aren't alone.
Yellow Eyed Man: When episode 50 concludes, you will be taken to our headquarters and officially inducted as one of us. Until then, we shall leave you and your friends-
Henry: We aren't really his friends, he treats us horribly…
Yellow Eyed Man: Whatever. We shall leave you all in peace until then. Oh, and the Almost Killer's base is located just north of here, in the abandoned factory. You'll find him, his helper, and his prisoners there.
ML: I'm honored. Thank you for the promotion.
Yellow Eyed Man: Don't thank me. Thank my boss.
And with that, the yellow eyed man vanishes back into the darkness.
Hiro: Well, now it's time for me to kill you, I guess-
ML grabs the gun that Anti-Marine had been holding and pistol-whips Hiro with it, knocking him unconscious.
ML: Bye, Hiro. Will things return to normal?
Will Hiro kill ML when he wakes up?
Will our heroes defeat the Almost Killer?
Will they rescue the prisoners?
Probably not, but who knows...
Next, on episode 37 of Fandemonium...

I have NEVER made or even remember eating a cake with ganache so I don't know how it tastes. So I have a couple of questions.
First, can I cover a cake with ganache, then cover it with fondant? I'm making a chocolate cake and it looks like it's tasty as a frosting.
And, if I cover a cake with ganache can I put "cut out fondant/gum paste" decorations on it? It seems like it would smear by the looks of it.
I have a question about RI too. I have some chocolate molds that I bought and I was wondering if I could use RI to fill the molds? Will the icing crack when I try to release the icing once it's hardened and ready?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Backyard wet fountains ever seemed some spendthrift and dandified to me. Golf shot a wet construction in your outlook pace is brassy. Record wet structure homes are very much expensive, so swing a striking wet side up is unremarkably a way of viewing off how untold wealth you have to put in. A curtilage fountain, however, is much toffee-nosed. It is not thatability the neighborsability can not see grounds fountains, but theyability without doubt are not put within for trumpet blast. Once you tallness a structure backyard, you only put it within for your own toffee-nosed contemplation, and as such as it is untold much understated.
When I prototypical arranged to put in a grounds wet feature, my mate suggestion I was woman unreasonable. She had seen various grounds construction displays, and utmost of them looked beautiful wet to her. They unremarkably demand thing wacky suchlike a weeny seraphic angels merchandising wet from a bucket continuously, or a crocodilian reptile expectoration up. She could not numeral out why I would privation this variety of yard structure. Once I told her what I had in mind, however, she varied her assessment.
I well-nigh granted to tallness it as an indoor wet structure. You see, it was vastly weeny and vastly mere. The curtilage structure was not active to be one of those wonderful big property. It with the sole purpose utilized something like a gal a day, and it could be run off of a unique star sheet. Basically, the grounds structure was weeny much than a little tarn next to a tricklingability flume at the top. It was ready-made out of sapphire tile and intended to variety the quietestability of tricklingability noises.Post ads:

The curtilage construction would not have worked in various neighborhoodsability within would have been too untold framework disturbance to truly wallow in its to a certain extent wholesome. Where we lived, however, it was without doubt watertight. It was yet a slightly homespun and immature area, so within would be well-nigh no wholesome to dishevel the curtilage structure except for for the peeping of crickets.
Although the star supercharged structure does not have thatability untold of an upshot on the patio as a whole, once you sit to hand it, it truly calms you. I suchlike to sit by the yard structure and use it as an aid to thoughtfulness. The stifled tricklingability sounds, and the watch of the wet fluid ever solace me. It worth me vastly weeny to shape and tallness thatability curtilage fountain, and I have gotten a wonderful woody of joy of it.Post ads:

A beam katana was a lame imitation lightsaber weapon that was used by certain primitive societies that still thought motorcycles were awesome. Although a step up from bladed melee weapons, it couldn't stand up against real lightsabers in battle, and it also shorted out when it touched water... like in the rain, for example, or when somebody pulled the fire alarm and turned on the sprinkler system.
The most crippling deficiency of the beam katana was that it required a Wiimote to operate.

I have noticed that over time some data changes for no reason and I do not have any clue why. One in particular is the serial number of some computers changes from my entry to some random number (i.e. ch-12345678).
How can I use Spiceworks to keep track of my assets without the data changing on me? perhaps I have a wrong config?
This topic was created during version 4.6.

I made those changes, ran a scan and the one device I was looking at specifically, all of my previous info is now missing or changed.
Manufacturer, Model, serial number, asset tag, location, vendor.
Did those changes somehow clear info in the database?
Apr 15, 2010 at 10:24 UTC
SW is now (after disable incremental scan ....) able to collect all infos on every scan. It tooks longer but with less issues.
What happens if you rescan the device?
Could you provide a screenshot of now and after the next scan?
Apr 15, 2010 at 10:33 UTC
On this device there is no before/after anymore, as the other info is now erased or changed.
I would need to restore from a backup and rescan.
Apr 15, 2010 at 10:43 UTC
No, I noticed that the infos has changed/removed.
Please provide a screenshot from now, then scan again and provide a screenshot again. Then we can compare, if something changed. If they are equal, the type the informations you want scan again and make again a screenshot.
Apr 15, 2010 at 11:27 UTC
Pic 2ad6.1.jpg is how it looks right now.
Apr 15, 2010 at 11:38 UTC
I just tried restoring from a backup from Feb 4 2010 and the data is bad there too.
It looks like I will need to re-enter all the incorrect/missing data.
Thanks anyway for your assistance.

Subspace Domain was a 24th century musical group. Their unique musical style blended jazz fusion, traditional Vulcan melodies and Andorian blues with sounds generated from scanning the tertiary subspace layers. The band reached the height of their popularity in the mid-2350s, but maintained a "cult following" at least into the 2380s.
In 2368, after nearly a decade's break, the band released a project called Collective Resistance as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the Battle of Wolf 359. After the Borg incursion in 2373, they released a follow-up entitled Assimilate This!

"What was that?" Bo exclaimed.
"The dog can Airbend?" Aya said," interesting."
"Awesome!,"Jia said, and picked up Da, giving the little dog a hug.
"Well we can figure this out later. Lets go before those guys show up again," Aya said.
After the had dragged the damaged boat onshore, they hid it in some bushes.
"Okay," Aya said, "we need to head to the other side of the island." She took out the map and looked at it. "The quickest way to the opposite shore is through the forest. There's a cliff that we'll need to cross. But according to the map there are some tunnels that we can use to cut through the cliff."
"We have to hurry," Jia said, "those soldiers have a head start."
Da barked as if in agreement.
They trekked into the forest. It was a bright hot day with not a cloud in the sky. The forest was thick and humid. Bugs flew by and birds chirped from their nests.
'At least there aren't as many mosquitoes here,' Bo thought.
Sorako was not one to give up easily. After Jia and the guys had left, he quickly got in another boat and headed to shore. He saw the battle between them and the soldiers. But he was able to avoid being seen. He waited until he saw everyone enter the forest and then headed in to shore. Sorako got out of his boat and dragged it onshore. He hid it in some bushes and used a palm branch to wipe out the drag marks in the sand.
'Now to find Jia and her friends,' he thought.
Crack! He heard a branch snap and spun around to face the forest. He peered into the forest searching for the source of the noise. And then he found it. Two soldiers stepped out of the forest.
'It's those guys that were after Jia,' he thought. ' I thought I had avoided them.'
"Haman has a mission for you Sorako," one of the men said.
Aya and the team had been walking for hours. The heat, the humid sticky heat, was getting to them. Sweat dripped from their faces and soaked their clothes.
"How much further?" Bo asked.
"We'll get to the cliff by sunset," Aya said.
"Good," Jia said. It was a few hours after midday so the evening wasn't too far away.
Then Jia heard something move in the forest. 'something's following us,' she thought.
"Any idea how Da can make sound waves?" Bo asked.
"Well," Aya said, "sound waves are just vibrations in the air. So a master Airbender should be able to create them. In theory. But it's never been done before. How a little dog can create them is a mystery."
Da turned and growled at the bushes. 'Da hears it too,' Jia thought. "Hey guys. Did you hear that?" she said.
"Ha Ha," Bo said, "you're just trying to scare us."
"No se-" Jia was cut off when a giant scorpion snake shot out of the bushes and lunged at Jia. She jumped back and it missed her by a few inches.
It was a fifty-foot snake with a scorpion's stinger, legs and claws. It would draw it's legs in whenever it wanted to move really fast, and slither on its stomach like a snake.
Aya bent a ring of fire around it and everyone ran.
"What was that?" Bo asked as they ran.
"Haven't you guys ever heard of a scorpion snake?" Aya asked.
"Giant man eating snakes don't exactly roam the streets back home," Jia said.
Da barked as a tree branch fell down in front of them blocking their way. It was cut down by a strike from the scorpion snakes tail.
"Ahh!" Jia yelped.
The snake was right behind them. Da sent a sound wave at the snake. But the snake was so large that the wave just made it skid back a few feet. Then Jia drew water out of the trees around her, and created a huge ice disc. The disc was razor sharp and as thin as a card. She sent it at the snake but it shattered the disc with one strike from its tail.
Bo bent a large rock up into the air and sent it flying at the snake. The beast struck at it as well, and the rock split in half. Revealing that Aya had leaped up right behind the rock, using it as a shield. She sent a fire ball flying at the snake. But it seemed to do little if anything. The snake snatched Aya up in one of its claws. And she yelped in surprise.
Horou took out some brass knuckles from his backpack and put them on. He rarely had to use them, but this time he had no choice. He ran at the snake, and it swiped at him with its tail. Hourou ducked under its tail and punched it.
The snake hissed and backed up. Then a shadow fell across its face. The shadow was so black, that it looked as if someone had poured ink on its face. The beast hissed and thrashed, as if it had gone blind, and finally dropped Aya. Then Sorako dropped down from the branches above. "Hey guys," he said, "we'd better get going. I can't hold that blindness shadow forever."
"I told you not to come," Aya said.
"And I don't take orders from you," Sorako replied.
"How did you?" Jia asked. She was completely confused now.
"Run now. Talk later!" he said and ran. Everyone followed.
After a while they felt that they were far enough away. So they took a break.
"So Sorako," Bo said, "what was that back there?"
"Yeah," Jia said, "how did you do that shadow thing?"
"That was shadow bending," Sorako said, "it's an ancient bending art that my father taught me."
"Of course," Aya said, "every bending art has an opposite. Earth has Air. Water has Fire, and Light has Shadow."
"Oh," Jia said.
"So now we have another scroll to go after?" Bo asked.
"No," Sorako said," my family has the shadow bending scroll. No one will get to it."
"You don't know Haman," Aya said, "if he finds out about the shadow scroll he will get his hands on it."
"Who's Haman?" Sorako asked.
"Someone who wants to use the scrolls to start a war," Aya said.
"Oh, well then lets get moving!" Sorako said as he got up.
They arrived at the cliff right at sunset. And camped near the entrance of the tunnels.
"We'll camp here for the night," Aya said, "and head into the tunnels in the morning."
It was a cool and starry night. Aya was taking the first watch. Her mind wandered as she stood leaning against a tree. 'We're so close now,' she thought,'I'll finally be able to take on Haman.' Her mind flashed back to that day, five years ago, that Haman betrayed her.
It was a rainy day and lightning flashed outside of a cave. Aya, Junjie and Haman were in the cave.
"You betrayed me!" Aya screamed at Haman. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Aya, I had to," Haman said.
"Liar!" Aya shouted and sent a blast of fire at Haman, but he met it with his own blast. The two streams of fire pushed at each other. Then Haman leaped to the right, and Aya's flames shot past him.
"I'm sorry Aya," Haman said and bent lightning. He sent a bolt right at Aya. It hit her full on and she was blasted right out of the cave.
Aya cleared her head of the memories and looked around. The flickering flames cast shadows on the forest around the campsite. She saw a shadow move, and tensed expecting and attack. But nothing happened.
"Guess it was nothing," she said to herself.
The next morning they ate a light breakfast over the campfire, and headed into the tunnels.
It was humid in the tunnels, and a small stream of water trickled down the middle of the tunnel..
"Everyone stay together," Aya said. She created a ball of fire in her left hand, to light their way.
"Well at least nothing is living in here," Bo said.
"Don't jinx it!" Jia hissed at him.
"Don't worry. I'm sure we can handle whatever we meet up with," Sorako said.
They walked for a long while before they reached a fork in the tunnel.
"Does the map say witch way to take?" Jia asked.
"It says we should take the right tunnel," Aya said.
"But which is the wrong tunnel?" Bo asked. And smiled at his own joke.
Jia punched him on the shoulder and said," let's go before Bo makes anymore lame jokes."
They trekked down the right hand tunnel. The flame in Aya's hand made a made shadows dance across the cavern walls. For a second Jia thought she thought she saw someone up ahead. But then the person disappeared.
A while later they saw a dim light up ahead.
"Finally!" Bo said, "I thought we'd never-" He stopped mid-sentence, when he saw that the light wasn't sign of an exit. The light came from a small hole in the ceiling, of a large cavern. In the middle of the cavern was a meteor rock. At the other end of the cavern was another tunnel.
The rock was about the size of a basketball, and it sat on top of a short pedestal. The sunlight filled the cavern with a dim glow.
"Why is this rock on a pedestal?" Jia asked.
"I don't know," Bo said, then he walked up to the rock and picked it up.
"Are you sure you should be touching that?" Jia asked.
"It's a moonstone," Aya said.
"A what?" Jia asked.
"It enhances a Waterbender's powers."
"Exactly," a man said. He was dressed in red, from his boots to his T-shirt. He a was bald man with a dark complexion . "What are you people doing here?" he asked them.
"My name is Aya and we're just passing through," Aya said as Bo put the stone back on the pedestal.
"It's too bad you found the moonstone," the man said," now I can't let you leave.
"Hey look, man," Sorako said, "there are five of us and one of you."
Da barked indignantly.
"Make that six of us," Sorako said, "so just let us leave and we'll forget we ever met you."
"My name is Feng," the man said, "and I cannot let you leave." Then Feng raised his right hand and Sorako stiffened.
"What the heck are you doing to me?" Sorako asked in surprise.
"Bloodbending," Jia said, "it's a dark art of Waterbending. That's what the ship captain was warning us about. People that can control you're every move."
"Well now that we've all been introduced," Feng said, "you can come with me."
"Like Sorako said," Bo said, "there are six of us."
"And you can't control all of us," Aya said with a smile. She sent a bolt of lightning at Feng but he ducked. In doing so he lost his hold on Sorako.
Before Feng could stand back up Sorako ran up to him tackled him. And he fell flat on his back. Aya stood over Feng and was about to knock him out with a punch when she stiffened. A man walked up to Aya, and created a wall of ice. To separate Aya from the others. Then he froze Sorako's boots to the ground. Immobilizing him.
"Thanks, Chang," Feng said.
"No problem," Chang responded," lets go."
"No!" Jia shouted and shattered the ice wall. Horou ran after the Bloodbenders.
They were taking Aya prisoner.

I have a pix 506 that lost its VPN tunnels. Our site to site and remote vpn's went down on a set of the firewalls. We have another VPN to another site that has the same config, only difference is the site IP address(We copied and pasted the configs in and changed the IP on the second remote site's VPN), and it works just fine. We can connect remotly to the VPN, but once we do we cannot get access to our network. Nothing in the config's of the router or firewall have been changed, all cables have been tested, and we have even switched out the router and pix for known working devices. Anyone have any clue on what could be causing the VPN to connect for both site to site and remote but not get any packets received?

My ISP replaced their router and the issue was resolved with in seconds. Thanks for the help everyone

Creative Intelligence is an IT service provider.
Hey John- what is the environment like lanside of the 506? Issues on the landside port, etc.
Jun 11, 2009 at 3:22 UTC
There are currently no issues on the LAN side. Both the remote and local sites can connect to the internet. The only issues is with the VPN not working, so the remote site cannot get to the local sites resources and vice versa.
Jun 11, 2009 at 5:15 UTC
Ok, I work with an ASA, which is similar to the Pix, but not exactly the same..
The things I would start checking are ... what version of software are you running on each Pix, if you inadvertently upgraded/downgraded this could cause issues.
can you ping across the vpn, I assume yes? but can't go past that, it sounds like some kind of ACL is blocking you.
I assume you don't have a copy of the original config on the fried Pix? so you can't load in the backup?
Are you using the CLI or the ASDM? If you're using the ASDM can you run the packet tracer utility? on the ASA I've used it many times to find acls blocking packets on me. Depending on the software version your running on the Pix, this may/may not be an option.
Do you have a smartnet contract on any of the devices? if so, call Cisco, they'll fix the whole darn thing.
Jun 12, 2009 at 8:23 UTC
We are currently running the same config on the new pix that was on the old. The old pix does still work, except the VPN. We have tried removing all the ACL's and basically setting it so that there was no security on the main router or the pix. We cannot ping accross the VPN. I can ping to external ip of the vpn before I connect to it, then when I get connected I cant ping anything.
The config on the pix now is a vpnpool for DHCP, the ACL is set to any/any/all protocols, protect any/any/all protocols and the ip on the outside and inside interfaces. Router has the static routes it needs to find everything on the network (its working with our other VPN Pix). I am also trying to work with our ISP of the non-working, since the non-working vpn goes through a different ISP then the working one
Jun 12, 2009 at 9:49 UTC
I have mix of 506E and 515 PIXs in different locations.
I assume, that you have NAT setup on PIX for outside access. Did you put NAT exclusion rule for vpmpool as destination?
Jun 12, 2009 at 9:53 UTC
I don't think the problem would be at the ISP level, if you can have normal traffic pass between endpoints, that suggests the connectivity is there... The problem is the vpn traffic....
Can you get a monitor running on both sides of the interface? wireshark or something to catch traffic and analyze it? you can then check that traffic is indeed leaving one side and getting to the other side.. you could then also monitor the other side of the pix and see if it is getting into the network at all.. it's a lot of work to set up, but might give you the info you need to fix it..
Personally, if you've been down this long without a resolution, I'd make a copy of the config, then delete the vpn on both sides and try rebuilding it from the bottom up. Again, I'd use the ASDM and try monitoring the packets there and see what else it might tell me...
I did have a problem with a vpn once, the remote side was losing packets like crazy, turned out they had a clustered server config that one server would recieve packets, and another would get the info and send data back, but as it was a different IP address, the return packet would get lost.... just a thought!
Jun 12, 2009 at 9:54 UTC
ahh, good point Denis!
Jun 12, 2009 at 1:19 UTC
My ISP replaced their router and the issue was resolved with in seconds. Thanks for the help everyone
Jun 15, 2009 at 8:29 UTC
Thats very interesting, Glad it's working though. It's wierd that thier router was blocking your vpn traffic, wonder what was causing that...
Jun 15, 2009 at 4:03 UTC
I have a ASA 5510 at corporate and nine sites running 506e PIXES, it is actually pretty easy to configure the ASA if you use the GUI, one thing you need to do in both devices that need to connect before your configuration (if you copied), will work, is disable isakmp, rebuild the password and then re-enable isakpm, after that as you try to pass interesting traffic the tunnel will come up.

Father G: Next! Next customer! Hi.
Alter Boy: Here, put this underneath. I'll give you a paper towel.
Father G: Pardon me, madam. I spilled my champagne. I'm drinking on the job. I can't take all this sin without drinking. It will only be a second.
Woman: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Father G: What have you done?
Woman: I've tried to convince the world that bad art is good art. On numerous occasions.
Father G: Well, then, I think you're probably damned to eternal hellfire.
Woman: There is no hope for me?
Father G: Well, I think you have to change your ways. You have to advocate Truth and Beauty.
Woman: But what if Truth and Beauty will not pay me to keep my rent and sustain my life?
Father G: Well, Truth and Beauty always pays in the end. I know it's hard to understand that in today's art market.
Woman: So I'm just bringing the end sooner. I'm embracing the end...
Father G: Well, if you find yourself forced to prostitute yourself...
Woman: As I am doing constantly.
Father G: Then perhaps you need to find an outlet for the truth.
Woman: So create my own outlet.
Father G: Yes, get a Twitter...
Woman: Get a Twitter account.
Father: A Twitter account. You may begin to tell the truth anonymously and it will catch on. Call a spade a spade. If a piece of art looks like a turd, call it a turd. And just because the dealers and the auctioneers say something is good doesn't mean anything. It's just an object of speculation. Don't be afraid to stand up for quality. Go in peace.
Woman: Thank you, Father.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am in love still with an ex of mine that I never did get to be with long enough to see if we could have made it as a couple. She has the same feelings towards me so I am wanting a divorce from my wife because i feel that I need to see what me and the other woman could be like, if we could still make it as a couple. My wife says she will not sign the divorce papers for me to be able to be with this other woman. What can I do? I live in Tennessee, montgomery county.
If your Wife will not sign the divorce paperwork, this means your divorce will have to start out as a contested divorce. This means your attorney will file a Complaint (which asks the Court to give you a divorce), which your Wife will then be served with. She will have thirty days to respond by filing an Answer. At that point, your attorneys will initiate discovery (interrogatories and/or depositions) and you will be required to attend mediation within six months if you do not settle within that time frame. Should mediation not result in a settlement, your case will go to trial where you will have a prove a ground for divorce (adultery, inappropriate martial conduct, etc.) and the Judge will decide on division of assets and debts and a parenting plan if you have children.

Discussion in 'XenForo Pre-Sales Questions' started by Thronk, Nov 20, 2012.
Is there a converter for Simple Machines forum to XenForo?
Not a direct importer. But you can do a double import by way of another supported platform like vB, IPB, or phpBB. How big is your forum? I can do the import for you if you want. I have done several SMF imports by way of vB.
It's not very big, roughly 20 members right now. I wouldn't like my members to register once again. Best time to do the 'upgrade' forum before we get more members. I suppose I can get a copy of phpBB import SMF to it, then PhpBB to Xenforo like you said.
Be mindful about the user passwords. Sometimes they don't survive a double import. The passwords survive through vB. I'm not sure about phpBB.
I just converted a SMF into XF using gConverter services. ($75.00)
They did a good job.
There's one that doesn't do everything if you search these forums because I went from SMF to XenForo using it. Think it rubbed the polls but I wasn't that bothered by that.
After some thought, I've decided to create from scratch. Members had to register one last time, and there wasn't much forum content that was important. Thanks for the help, hope other's searching for smf -> xf will find this usefull
Welcome to XenForo

Dear T2T: I went to a party and drank more than I should have and now some pictures have leaked. I am so embarrassed that I don't even want to go to school anymore. It feels like everyone is looking at me different and treating me different than before. Other than going on independent study, I just don't know what to do.
Stupid Move
Response No. 1:
If you are under the influence of alcohol, you're not yourself and your judgment is clouded. Bad things are bound to happen like this when you aren't yourself. With actions come consequences. You made the choice to drink and by doing so, you have accepted the consequences of your actions. Everyone makes mistakes in high school and just learn from it. It happened and there is nothing you can do to change the past. People are going to judge you no matter what. You're in charge of yourself and your own actions. Not everyone is going to accept you or your mistakes. The way you choose to handle this is going to shape you as a person and say a lot about your character. You have a few options right now in terms of school. You can change schools and try to leave the situation behind you or you can face the judgmental looks and bad treatment and wait for the situation to blow over, which it will. This is high school, new rumors will come up every week and eventually your situation will be completely forgotten. So you have the choice of running away from your problems or facing them head on. Looking on the bright side of the situation, you should view this as a learning experience. Think before you act next time and hopefully the situation will make you a stronger person. Your true friends will support you in whatever choice you make. Whatever you choose to do, we at Teen2Teen support you. We wish you the best of luck in your situation!
Response No. 2:
You need to understand that there will be times in life where you do embarrassing things or embarrassing things will happen to you. I can promise you that in a few weeks or maybe a month, no one will remember the pictures that were leaked. Another possible scenario is that the event will be the talk of the school. Later down the road the pictures can possibly be brought up again, but you will have to live with the consequences of your actions. Furthermore, alcohol should not be consumed by minors since it is illegal and can lead to impairment of your common sense. I suggest that you try to abstain from alcohol so you don't accidentally make bad decisions in the future.
