SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable WHERE 0=1
It will not bring over contraints or indexes.
To do that you need to script the table and copy them so they can be applied.
Don't know how to script? Look at the first sticky post in this forum and look for the FAQ sectionBrett
It's a Great Day for America everybody!

The Institute for Everyday Democracy
In February 2017, as part of Pomegranate Center's organizational and programmatic evolution prompted by our transition of Executive Directors, we launched the Institute for Everyday Democracy. Led by Founder and Executive Director Emeritus Milenko Matanovic, the Institute is a place to exchange ideas, participate in discussions, and generate a body of thought about how we participate in our democracy.
A Note From Milenko About the Institute
In my new role, I will coordinate the activities of the Institute for Everyday Democracy, exploring how we can come together in a world that is increasingly divided. The goal of the Institute is to strengthen local community engagement practices as a way to build democratic "intelligence." Some questions the Institute will address:
- How can the relationship between local governments and their citizens be improved, with community process becoming productive and positive rather than burdensome and ineffective?
- How can comprehensive planning, civic projects, design reviews, etc. double as classrooms for democratic collaboration?
- How can we better unlock the collective wisdom of those living in diverse neighborhoods?
- What are different models for participatory democracy?
My work with the Institute will take many forms. I will be publishing articles and essays exploring the questions listed above. I will continue to speak at events and forums. And I will host collegial conversations, starting with small gatherings in the Seattle area, where we can explore these ideas together. Please contact us if you want to be involved.

Feb. 13, 2016
In honor of Valentine's Day, the College of Computing has decided to celebrate something we all share -- the love of computing!
We asked students -- undergraduate, on-campus graduate, OMS CS, and Ph.D. candidates -- as well as faculty, staff and alumni why they fell in love with computing and their answers inspired us, motivated us, made us laugh and make us even more excited to share our love of computing with the world!
We decided to create a space, below, that would house a live stream of some of your thoughts about the reasons that you study and do what you do. We'd love to hear your story and why you fell in love with computing. If you'd like to share, please email Brittany Aiello or David Mitchell and you may find your story on social media or this wall of "How I Fell In Love with Computing" -- because we're excited to celebrate your passion for CS this Valentine's Day!
I fell in love with computing at the age of 8 when my father bought a "Laser 50" computer for me. This "computer" was little more than a keyboard, a 16 character display, and a trivial amount of memory. It came with a book containing some sample programs that could be typed in, one line at a time. Using that book (and lots of time), I taught myself how to program in Basic and how to do simple debugging. I've been in love with computing ever since. -Kyle Miller, OMS CS student
Being able to tell the computer what to do, and modifying the source of games written in Atari Basic blew my mind and my world. While every kid in school had a Nintendo (the 80's), my dad brought home a programmable Atari 130XE. -Romeo Cabrera, OMS CS student
I fell in love with computing in high school when my friend founded a programming club. It fell apart very quickly but that was where I was first introduced to Java and programming. I really like the feel of having started with a blank text editor and having built something. To be able to point to something and say, 'I made that.' I also really like the problem-solving aspect. To get stuck on something and then figure it out and finish up anyway. -Albert Morlan, Alumni, Employee at BazaarVoice
I fell in love with computing because I love technology. Technology is robust. It's innovative and it continues to grow, and there are continuous opportunities and places for people in computer science to get a job. -Anisha Bhandari , M.S. HCI
I got into computing as a kid when my dad bought us the Apple computer. … In those days they used to be really expensive and really big and really slow. But my dad wanted us to have access to that, to know what the new things are. That's when I got hooked. I would do stuff with it, I would break it, mess something up and my dad would spend hours fixing it. -Ishbir Singh, B.S. CS

NC State Football
NC State Hits the Road to Take on Wake
Before NC State finished up a four-game home stand against Central Michigan last Saturday, Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren was already preparing his team for its first road game of the season this weekend at Wake Forest.
"Last week, we actually went to a different hotel than we normally would, just to break routine," Doeren said. "It turned out to be a good deal for us."
This week, the hotel will be different again, and so will everything else for that matter when NC State (3-1) takes its show westward, about 90 minutes away to less comfy confines. Awaiting the Wolfpack's arrival will be a Wake Forest team (2-3) which always seems to be at its best when the Red & White comes to Winston-Salem.
Along with being State's oldest football rival, Wake has also emerged as an old nemesis over the last decade, winning the last five games played between the two teams at BB&T Field.
While he wasn't around for NC State's recent streak in road games at Wake Forest, Doeren left nothing to chance this week, choosing to do some historical research in hopes of gaining some clues as to why so many Wolfpack teams had come up short there.
"Every team we play, I'm going to study the past," Doeren said. "I think that's important for our players whether it's home or away, just to talk about trends. I think if you study history, you can keep from repeating it if you understand it. I wasn't a part of any of those games, but I have talked with our players to find out what they thought our issues were up there. Hopefully we can overcome it this time."
Now in its 13th season under veteran coach Jim Grobe, Wake Forest fielded an ACC title team in 2006, and then won nine and eight games, respectively, over the next two seasons. In other words, the Demon Deacons have fielded some pretty good teams over the last decade, yet many of NC State's performances at BB&T Field over that period left fans, coaches and players frustrated against an in-state rival.
Admitting that he played perhaps the worst game of his career two years ago in Winston-Salem, NC State senior linebacker D.J. Green says recent history shouldn't be a factor when Saturday's 3:30 p.m. kick off time rolls around.
"I'm not going to be thinking about it," Green said. "I don't think anything of it. The past is the past. We're here to do something about it now. Hopefully we can change that."
Some challenging issues abound for this year's Wake Forest team, which is one week removed from a 56-7 thrashing at the hands of Clemson. With his offense generating only 222 yards of total offense in Death Valley, Grobe sat starting quarterback Tanner Price in the second half, choosing to turn the controls over to back-up signal caller Tyler Cameron.
Through five games, the Deacons are averaging 316 yards of total offense, a figure that ranks 113th nationally. Barring some quick fixes, Wake Forest may be challenged to move the football against an NC State defense that is coming off back-to-back strong performances against Clemson and Central Michigan.
Over its last two games, the Wolfpack has recorded 23 tackles for loss, and ranks second in the nation in TFL's on the season with 37.
"Our goal is to have as many parties in their backfield as we can," said Doeren. "We sell that to our players and it feeds on itself. That's definitely a trend we want to continue"
Green credits familiarity with defensive concepts being taught by coordinator Dave Huxtable as a key factor in the Wolfpack's early season success on that side of the ball.
"We've been doing this since the spring, so we have plenty of reps," Green said. "They stay on us and we're eager to learn. We're getting more and more comfortable with the defense and we're getting good results."
In yielding an average of just 328 yards per game, Green and the Wolfpack are rated 26th in total defense in the most updated FBS rankings.
The Pack will certainly keep an eye on Michael Campanaro on Saturday. Currently the second leading receiver in Wake Forest history, Campanaro is the only player in the annals of ACC football to have caught 16 passes in a game twice in his career. The senior first made 16 receptions against Boston College last November, and then matched that total earlier this season with a 16-catch performance against Louisiana-Monroe.
Ironically enough, one of Campanaro's least effective games came in last year's 37-6 loss to NC State when he was held to just five receptions for 14 yards. Cornerback Dontae Johnson applied most of the stifling coverage on Campanaro that day, and those two will undoubtedly hook up on many occasions once again on Saturday.
With left tackle Rob Crisp out for a third straight game due to injury, Joe Thuney will again get the start at left tackle for the Wolfpack on Saturday. But in this particular match-up, the Pack's offensive line will have its biggest test inside against relentless Wake Forest nose-guard Nikita Whitlock. The ACC's leader in tackles for loss with 10, the stocky senior is the reigning ACC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week.
"Great player," Doeren said. "I'd love to have him on our team. He's really fun to watch and tough to play against. He's very explosive, uses his hands well, is very quick and has a high motor. They line him up over the center where he can cause a lot of problems for your guys in the backfield immediately."
Saturday's game will mark the first of four road games for NC State this season, but as far as Doeren is concerned, the contest could provide a defining opportunity for his first Wolfpack squad.
"I like road trips," said Doeren, who won eight straight 'true' road games as a head coach. "I like getting on the bus, watching the movie, eating some snacks and then hanging with the guys at the hotel. I told them that if they want to be contenders, they have to be able to take their show on the road. If not, they'll win a lot of home games, but be an average, run-of-the-mill team. That's not what we want to be."

Beer is rich in proteins and vitamins, through the natural barley and hops, it does contain nutrients for helping to develop healthy hair," explains Dr. Ryan Welter, a Massachusetts-based hair restoration surgeon. "Many people have thus seen the benefits of fuller, thicker and more bodied hair through the use of a beer rinse. However, it's not acting on growing hairs, but rather existing ones. There is no evidence beer can help hair grow."

The production of gyratory crusher has a history of over 100 years. Compared with jaw crusher, its product size is uniform, wearing of crushing wall is small, operating rate is high and production capacity can reach up to 3-4 times. Since the direct turning mode is adopted for feeding, such production facilities as storage bin for raw ore and ore feeder can be omitted during coarse crushing of crushing production technology. It is the preferred typical equipment for large and medium sized mines and other industries for coarse crushing of various hard materials.
Generally, the hydraulic gyratory crusher is produced to install the hydraulic device on lower part of its base to support the crushing cones. The safe insurance of crusher and adjustment of ore discharging mouth are realized by utilizing the hydraulic energy storage system. The unreliability of safety devices of original suspension shaft type gyratory crusher and shortage of troublesome adjustment of ore discharging mouth can be overcome to bring new life to the gyratory crusher.

Review for Mercy Education Project, Detroit, MI, USA
Mercy Education Project is a great organization making a difference in Southwest Detroit. I teach a math class for women studying to get their GEDs, and it's incredible to see the strides they're capable of making when they get the attention and small-group help that MEP offers. I also work with the girls in after-school tutoring, sweet and intelligent young ladies who all advance at least one grade level each year while at MEP.

The territorial dimension of environmental sustainability – Potential territorial indicators to support the environmental dimension of territorial cohesion05 Jul 2010
This study undertakes an analysis of the environmental dimensions of territorial cohesion and of related EU policies. It is intended to contribute to and support external processes including the European Commission's Green Paper on Territorial Cohesion, revision of the EU budget (e.g. regarding Cohesion Policy) and the work of ESPON (the European Spatial Planning Observation Network) on territorial indicator development.
EU 2010 Biodiversity Baseline31 May 2010
The EU 2010 Biodiversity Baseline provides facts and figures on the state and trends of the different biodiversity and ecosystem components. It thereby supports the EU in developing the post‑2010 sub‑targets and provides factual data for measuring and monitoring progress in the EU from 2011 to 2020.
10 messages for 2010 — protected areas26 May 2010
Protected areas provide a wide range of services in a context of increasing pressures and a rapidly changing environment. Europe is the region with the greatest number of protected areas in the world but they are relatively small in size. Europe's Natura 2000, unique in the world and still young, and the Emerald network under development, are international European networks of protected areas that catalyse biodiversity conservation.
Ecosystem accounting and the cost of biodiversity losses — the case of coastal Mediterranean wetlands28 Apr 2010
This report focuses on ways we can use land and ecosystem accounting techniques to describe and monitor the consequences of biodiversity loss in the coastal wetlands of the Mediterranean. These ecosystems are characterised by the close coupling of economic, social and ecological processes, and any accounting system has to represent how these key elements are linked and change over time. This report discusses the importance of estimating the ecological and social costs of maintaining these systems, and the problems surrounding providing monetary estimates of the services associated with wetlands. It also shows how individual wetland socio-ecological systems (SES) can be defined and mapped using the remotely sensed land cover information from Corine Land Cover.
The EU has highlighted the importance of using the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) to prevent the abandonment of high nature value farmland and its intensification as a key action to halt biodiversity decline. The present report sets out to assess whether the current distribution of CAP funds is likely to favour the maintenance of farmland with high nature value (HNV). And it explores the extent to which CAP funds are likely to support the long-term economic and ecological sustainability of these HNV farming systems.

Diverting waste from landfill - Effectiveness of waste-management policies in the European Union10 Jun 2009
Issued in 1999, the Landfill Directive marked a decisive shift from landfill towards the EU's new waste hierarchy, which prioritises waste prevention, followed by re-use, recycling and recovery, and seeks to avoid landfilling wherever feasible. The Landfill Directive set targets for progressively reducing the amount of biodegradable municipal waste landfilled in the period to 2016. A decade on from the Landfill Directive's enactment seems a fitting time to review progress and extract key lessons for policy-makers in Europe and elsewhere. Through individual and comparative analyses of waste management in five countries and one sub-national region (Estonia, Finland, the Flemish Region of Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Italy), as well as an econometric analysis of the EU–25 Member States, this report seeks to answer a number of important questions, including: To what extent was waste management practice changed in the last decade? How much of the change was due to the Landfill Directive (and other EU instruments)? What measures and institutional arrangements did countries introduce? Which measures and arrangements proved most effective in different national and regional contexts?
Application of the Emissions Trading Directive by EU Member States — reporting year 200805 Jan 2009
According to Article 21 of the Emissions Trading Directive, Member States shall report annually on its application. The reporting obligation allows the Commission to continuously follow the implementation of the Directive and provides information for the Commission's review report under Article 30 of the Directive. By late October 2008, Article 21 reports had been received from all Member States. The responses in those reports were assessed by the EEA and its European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC) and compiled into this report.
Effectiveness of environmental taxes and charges for managing sand, gravel and rock extraction in selected EU countries27 Jun 2008
With the aim of getting practical experience in undertaking ex post policy effectiveness evaluations and to provide support in selected policy areas, this report is considered a further step in that work.

Welcome back to our online Inductive Bible Study on the Book of Job, "Trusting God in Times of Adversity" by Kay Arthur. This week we continued with Part Two of the study and completed Week Nine in our study books which is entitled "The Fear of the Lord, That is Wisdom."
This week's reading covers Chapters 25-28 in the Book of Job. First we hear again from Job's friend Bildad. Then in we read the first half of Job's lengthy response to Bildad and his other friends, in which he defends himself and his life of godly living.
In Chapter 25 Bildad presents a very brief argument in which he accuses Job of being prideful. Bildad appears to ignore what Job has just said in the previous chapter. He reiterates his friend Eliphaz's accusation that Job's suffering must be the result of sin. Bildad makes two main points in his short speech – God is powerful and just; man is just a "worm" in comparison to God.
Job's response to Bildad begins in Chapter 26 and continues for six chapters. First Job rebukes Bildad and his other friends for not helping him out. He points out that his friends do not know everything about God. They lack the wisdom that can only come from God through. They also lack compassion. Therefore, Job's friends are unable to say anything to Job that was helpful to him in the midst of his plight.
Job goes on to acknowledge God's power and greatness. God controls heaven and earth. He knows everything and sees everything. It is impossible for any human to know all that there is to know about God, let alone explain that to anyone else. Job contends that anyone who claims to know all there is to know about God does not know Him at all.
In Chapter 27 Job repudiates Bildad's contention that Job's plight is due to sin. Bildad, like his other friends before him, said that if Job is suffering, it must mean that Job is sinning. Job takes an oath affirming his integrity. He curses his friends who have become his enemies. He then says that God is not being fair in how He is treating him. Job states that his conscience is clear. He asks God to vindicate him.
In Chapter 28 Job talks about wisdom and differentiates between wisdom and knowledge. He states that his friends may have knowledge but they are not wise. In his commentary on Job, Warren Wiersbe quotes Charles Spurgeon on this subject. Spurgeon states "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as the knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom". Job says much the same thing when he contends in Chapter 28 that wisdom is something you cannot mine and cannot buy because it comes only from God.
Our reading for the week concludes with our "Store in Your Heart" verse 28:28 "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding". You can explore this concept further by doing our world study for the week on the words Wisdom and Knowledge.
BIBLE STUDY TIP: How did this week of the Job study go for you? Are you settling into a study routine yet? Or are you struggling?
One of the challenges of reading the Book of Job is that it seems to be so repetitive. We find ourselves thinking "I already know this – I read the same thing last week!" To combat this kind of thinking, remember that everything in the Bible is there for a reason. Maybe concepts repeat themselves because we need to hear them more than once. Maybe ideas that look the same, really aren't. Look for the layers in what you are reading. What is the same as before and what tidbit, no matter how small it may be, has been added? Note repeating themes in what you are reading. Chances are they contain God's message to us.
• Join a small group and join other women for a time of study and fellowship. This week we will be discussing Week 9 of the study. Small groups meet at http://www.facebook.com/groups/WBCInductiveStudies/ A schedule of meeting times is pinned to the top of that page.
• Complete Week 10 in your study book before your next small group meeting. This lesson is broken down into seven daily lessons so ideally, you will complete one daily lesson each day.
• Pray before you begin your study time each day. Invite the Holy Spirit to be your guide and teach you as you study.
• Do an online word study on "Wisdom/Knowledge at www.blueletter.org. We did a word study on the word WISDOM back in Week 5 in Part I of our study of Job. If you did this word study at that time, do one on the word KNOWLEDGE this week and compare and contrast the two. If you have not done a word study on WISDOM, do that this week. Instructions for doing a word study are located in the "Files" at the top of the page in the Inductive Studies Chat Room. You will also find a form for doing the coming week's Word Study posted there on Monday of each week.
• Complete a "Store in Your Heart" form for Job 28:28. The Store in Your Heart forms are also located in "Files" at the top of the page in the Inductive Studies Chat Room.
• Fill out the "Job at a Glance" chart on the top of page 97 in your study book. As you complete your study each week, decide what you think the main them of each chapter is and record the theme on this page. There is no right or wrong answer, so don't worry about that! Use whatever theme will help you to remember this study when you look back at it later. This is your study and this assignment is designed to help you, not anyone else.
1) Look at Chapter 25 and what Bildad has to say to Job this time around. What are his main points? Does he add anything that hasn't been said before?
2) After reading Chapters 26 – 28, how would you summarize Job's view of God?
3) Job talked about God's power as seen in the sky and the clouds and the rain. How does God's creation call out to you and what does it tell you about Him?
4) What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom? How do we acquire each of these?
5) How did this week of study go for you? Are you caught up with your studies or are you behind? Or ahead? What was the biggest challenge you had to getting your study done? What was your biggest take away from this week's lesson?

I'm still trying to get this bike setup how I like it
Scrambler V2 frame
Fixed 19T on one side
Free 18T on the other side
I'm going to try these 175s Raceface cranks so I don't destroy the Topline cranks I had on before. I also need to buy a new chain next week, and cut the bars down a bit more.
Your chain tension is shit
I'll just kick off the boards and coast around the court. Or grab on Scott and get him to pull me around.
clear chain? tarck balla
Yup, you should see the free wheel bike I built for polo. Scott was using it for a bit but he more on to a new bike so I'll be "trying" out this freewheel thing.
you should see the bike i'm literally having built... custom frame. should be done in 2 weeks or so

Another fun touch: some crocheted little flowers and a butterfly near the hem. Abby noticed this detail right away!
The Sewing
The dress came together really quickly. One reason I like this dress style is that it affords so much room for creativity. I only had 3/4 of a yard of fabric, so the "dress" is really more of a tunic-length.
The Fabric
Now, let's talk about this amazing fabric! It's the Princess and the Pea print from Heather Ross's first Far Far Away line. Do you grieve for that line as much as I do? What I wouldn't give to have it reprinted!
The fabric is a double gauze, beautifully lightweight and easy to sew. The sleeves are from a Michael Miller dots print. This blue is one of my favorite colors right now.
Ok, that's all for now! More sewing pictures to come. Thanks for reading friends!

JAMES LOMAS as Billy
Billy is a 12 year old by who lives in New Castle with his father, older brother and grandmother; his mother died several years ago. His father and brother are miners in strike against their work conditions and the government of Margaret Thatcher. One day, while going to a boxing lesson, Billy discovers the dance class of Mrs. Wilkinson and soon joins the all female group. The teacher soon discovers that Billy has a natural talent to dance and tries to convince him to try his chance at an audition for The Royal Ballet, but his family don't see Billy's dance career with good eyes and the boy looses his chance. Only later, when his father sees him dancing, does he realize the true potential of Billy.
I'm a huge fan of the movie and I've to confess that I was a disappointed with the show, but that doesn't mean that this is a bad musical.
One of the best things about the movie was the relationship between Billy and his father and here it isn't as important or strong. Maybe the fact that the actor who plays his father, Tim Healy, is too old for the part doesn't help. I remember that in the movie the sequences involving Billy's grandmother were very touching, but here they simply don't seem to fit in; she's just another character. On the plus side there's chemistry between Billy and the dance teacher and between Billy and his friend Michael, those scenes are the best moments of this show.
One major problem for me was the fact that almost all characters speak with a strong New Castle accent that I had a really hard time trying to understand; fortunately I knew the story from the movie, although I didn't get more than half of the dialogues. Other thing that left me complete cold was that fact that this musical is more political than the movie and there's even a terrible number with puppets about Margaret Thatcher entitled "Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher", that I don't think belongs to this show.
Since this is a new musical it has an all new score by none other than Elton John. I can't say that the music is bad, in fact it works on stage and that's what matters, but none of the songs lingers in my memory. Maybe I should confess that I'm one of those guys who love traditional musical scores and that I'm one of the few people who hate THE LION KING, so in truth Elton John is far from my kind of music.
Anyway there's one or two musical numbers that I enjoyed, "Shine" and "Expressing Yourself". The last one is also my favourite moment of the show, with Billy and Michael in drag dancing with all kinds of clothes.
Peter Darling's choreography is interesting and funny, with some smart musical staging like in "Solidarity", where policemen, miners and ballet dancers all interact without belonging to the same scene. There's also a funny "Born to Boogie" for Billy, the teacher and the pianist and an uplifting final number with the entire company. In fact I think that the light side of the dance numbers don't match the serious side of the plot.
As for the cast well, the show belongs to the kids. James Lomas is an impressive Billy, dancing, singing and acting like a true trouper, as his friend Michael, Ashley Lloyd is another exciting revelation and almost steals the shows from Billy, and Emma Hudson is great as their friend Debbie. One last word for Haydn Gwynne, she is a perfect decadent and funny Mrs. Wilkinson.
For me this isn't the big or terrific show that everyone seems to proclaim, but I had a good time and if they get ride of those accents things will work better.
Music by Elton John Book and Lyrics by Lee Hall
Choreography by Peter Darling Directed by Stephen Daldry

Info about Vintage Chairs from England?
Q: My husband and I recently bought a pair of chairs from a second-hand shop in Phoenix, and I'd like to know more about them before reupholstering. The bottom and back supports are exposed springs. (This is how the chairs were when we bought them.)
However, there are nail holes on the bottom rails (for upholstery?). I can't find a maker's mark, but they do say "MADE IN ENGLAND" on the bottom rail. The chairs are 25" wide, 33" deep and 34.75" tall. Can anyone identify their maker? Do we leave the springs exposed when we get new cushions? I like the way they look, though they do have a bit of a lawn chair vibe going on. Any recommendations on Phoenix-area upholsterers would be much appreciated as well!

- 63 years old
- Date of birth: Feb 4, 1951
- Date of passing: Jul 8, 2014
|Let the memory of Bruce be with us forever
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Bruce Brigham, 63, born on February 4, 1951 and passed away on July 8, 2014. We will remember him forever.
Please leave tributes to Bruce here, and stories and memories of him under the "stories" tab.
"I love you forever Bruce. I miss my best friend very much and I always will. There's no one on this earth like you. Love always, Jan"
"Thinking of you on your birthday
Charlie Scott Harrison"
"Fall is in the air Bruce and I miss you with all of my heart. Memories of our beautiful times together keep me putting one foot in front of the other. I'm so alone without you but I feel your presence. Thank you.
All my love forever, Jan"
"I miss you today as much as I did when you left. I will never stop loving you. the world is different without your beautiful spirit. you're in my heart and soul forever and I feel your presence Bruce. what a beautiful life we shared."
"The world was a better place for friends, and for design,
with you among us.
We will meet again.
"I miss you, Bruce."
"Bruce, you were too young to leave this world. However, I feel in my heart that you are in a place full of love and joy. Happy Birthday!"
"I'll never forget Bruce, and wonderful memories of the Brigham family when we were Seattle neighbors....Love to all..."
"Thinking of you very fondly, Bruce."
"My earliest and fondest memory of Bruce is from elementary school days, when he joined our third- or fourth-grade class at John Muir School in Seattle. Probably because of his smarts and international education, he was placed with us despite being a year younger. I have this crystal-clear memory of the "new boy" with the English accent, clad in shorts and blazer (and kneesocks too, if memory serves), easily holding his own by dint of an outsized personality, easy laugh, and zest for life. What a pistol he was then, and so clearly remained during his life. I send my sincerest condolences to Jan, Peter, Denise, and Georges for the loss of a dear husband, son, and brother. -- With love always, Kath (Burns) Vaughan"
"Bruce and the Brigham family(Peter, Denise & Georges);
My sibs(Chris, Cheryl & Chad) and I remember roller-skating in your folks attic at 3708 42nd Ave S. We are the Harrisons from 43rd Ave S. Miss you all and especially Bruce who was one of my closest early childhood pals. God's Blessings and RIP"
"Bruce's long-time colleague, Josh Sellers, wrote this to Jan shortly after Bruce died.
Bruce was a Character.
As a kid, I always looked at Bruce as a great big, powerful guy that I could not understand his "Vibe" or style. He just had this way of knowing so much cool stuff and bringing the fresh perspectives to our little red-neck/ hippie/ K2 factory workers getting by on Vashon Island. He intimidated me a bit - he was just so different than anyone I had been introduced to in my 7 years of life.
I remember the house in Ellisport - the Cedar wood paneling - and a great painting on the wall that had colorful animals, people in a surreal jungle setting, and Bruce trying to explain the story behind it. He was very animated and passionate in telling me the story behind it. This would be the first introduction of a passion for great design... how would I know what it would lead me in to much later down the road!
I remember the house on the beach, toward the south-end of the island, and the infamous cherry-bomb that ignited the huge bag of indian reservation fireworks that cleared everyone off the roof of the boat-house we were perched on, within seconds. Bruce was just calm and cool - laughing but making sure everyone was okay and taking charge to set up the remaining fireworks show on the beach, a place with better places to run from any more accidents.
I remember living with you guys for a while in that cool place on Lake Washington - just down from the Central District (where my good friends were!). - The hours upon hours of cable TV I'd consume, and the piles of crumbs from Wheat-Thins I'd leave behind in your bed. Bruce would always just come in and ask "you need anything?". I still could not understand his "Vibe" and his energy and how passionate he would speak about… anything. He had his opinion, and had the character to stick with his opinion.
As a kid, I never knew what Character meant - aside from a literal meaning to a kid - a cartoon "character" - later in life I'd define it as someone that stands out, someone who is their own and not a copy of anyone or anything else.
Later, when I left the nest of Vashon and to downtown Seattle with no money for shopping and no friends, you and Bruce would have me come down to the boat and hang out for the weekend, and feed me pan cakes. Bruce would give me a few chores to help him re-apply paint on the top deck. I thought that was so cool - here I am, I get to help that big powerful guy that kind of intimidated me as a kid, with his booming voice and larger than life character, and I get to actually help him out! Even at 20 years old, I was pretty excited to hang out with him.
Art School rolled around, and of course I had to talk to the one designer I knew - that big character - Bruce. WOW! if only I had known what I know now, the power and intellect of the man I was asking the most entry-level and asinine questions to. But, Bruce took the time and helped to answer my questions - and later he would allow me to come to the Planet Retail office to get some prints done on their fiery printer, and annoy his graphic designers, mainly Rich Tugade, with questions and peering over his shoulder to look at the work he was doing.
Bruce would look at my school work and give me tips and pointers - with me not having any idea how much work he was doing already in the office and running a company full of gay politics!
I went off to San Francisco to finish art school and eventually move on to China for a year, coming back thinking I was pretty cool - International design, I know the China market, I know digital, blah blah blah… I came back to Seattle, and couldn't get a job in design. I still lacked a lot of experience, though I didn't see it that way. I think I even chased Bruce for an internship, but by then he parted ways with Planet Retail and was freelancing. I kept on with fine art and graphics jobs on the side, and went back to the insurance company. I kept Bruce's advice to not give up and keep making stuff.
Bruce came to me a couple years after my return from China, with a free-lance opportunity to make shopping bag designs for TSL. And, I got to work a bit with Rich Tugade! Man, things were looking up! Here, I get to work with BRUCE and RICH! At this point, in my little experience, I started to see a bit of how powerful Bruce's senior experience was… but really, I still had no idea the immense resource and professional experience I was working with.
Bruce later introduced me to Tommy (insert fart noise) and William, and opened the door for me to get back in the saddle of design - and still not knowing what pedigree was ahead of me.
I took the job in Hong Kong… and boy was I really excited to actually be directly working with Bruce! How in the f'n hell did I manage that!? I was intimidated again though… I still could not shake that "vibe" that left me perplexed as a kid. But I had the maturity at this point to know to just shut up and listen, learn and do my best to appease thy Creative Director!
7 years of logo designs, ad layouts, photoshoots, web projects, internal pitches, elevations, image editing, heated debates about how to dispose of Cherry Lau's corpse and how to sell her hair to North Korea, literally 1000's of pages of documents Bruce would write about BRAND, BRAND SCREENS, BRAND PERSPECTIVES, BRAND HIERARCHY, BRAND POSITIONING, BRAND IMAGE, BRAND STORY, BRAND, BRAND BRAND… Brand summit meetings at the hotel over champagne and green olives, sprinting in the Hong Kong summer heat to keep up with his excited pace, as we picked apart other retail brands... not to see what they were doing wrong - but what they were doing right!, and seeing it all come together and what it all meant in the end. Bruce put so much trust and faith in me professionally… and I always have looked at it as what Bruce did for me professionally.
And here I sit on a fast moving train to the office, to my design team that I run, and that I teach and preach BRAND, professionally. I channel Bruce in every meeting. I make my designers go out and run after me as we go in to retail environments and we pick the brand apart to see what they are doing right.
I finally get that Vibe. I get that Character that I could never figure out.
The Character of Bruce was BOLD, loud, well put together, and well thought out for the Up-sell. The Character of Bruce was a BRAND. His design is just as bold as his character. Every one of his designs has a consistency and was well thought out to be open enough for an up-sell - an evolution. Bruce's Character is in his designs, and his designs are his Character.
I was intimidated by Bruce's Character because I needed to build my own identity and Character. I needed to have a solid opinion based on experience and humility. I learned this from Bruce with out him telling me. He just directed me in to this, like a great creative director that sees the whole picture. And the whole thing, that I saw for so long as "professionally" - was built personally on trust and love from Bruce. I am so lucky to have had Bruce in my life. The words still cannot capture what he did for me and the love he showed me. And behind Bruce is you, Jan. You're so amazing. You inspired Bruce's creativity and love. Thank you. I love you very much. -josh"
"I am still stunned that one so vibrant a man full of life and energy has been taken from us. I did not know he was ill before Jan contacted me right before he passed. I still find it hard to believe.
Bruce sat on the chapter board of ASID Washington State chapter when I was hired as the new "temporary" administrator in 1990. I remember that he had a way of listening to a basic idea, processing the thought, expounding on it and making it 100 percent bigger and brighter than its original conception.
It still stuns me that I won't again pick up the phone one day soon and hear his voice, talking like I had seen him last week.
I am so happy he and Jan were able to enjoy their time together, and he was still able to jet around the world to pursue his chosen profession.
May his family and friends find comfort in the wonderful tributes and stories shared here and recently published about him."
"So many wonderful memories of Bruce during our time as next door neighbors at Playa Las Tortugas. Kind, generous, and fun friends,
our time there with Jan and Bruce will always hold a special place.
Among my fondest memories of Bruce was of an afternoon spent floating down the nearby estuary during a strong tide and sharing
laughs and giggles as if we were 12 with not a care in the world. I can still see your face, Bruce, filled with pure joy. Much love."
"I am heartbroken…
For now, all I can manage is this very old poem by Li Po, "Taking Leave of a Friend"
Blue mountains to the north of the walls,
White river winding about them;
Here we must make separation
And go out through a thousand miles of dead grass.
Mind like a floating white cloud,
Sunset like the parting of old acquaintances
Who bow over their clasped hands at a distance.
Our horses neigh to each other as we are departing."
"Although he seems to be gone, we are surrounded by him in our lovely house that he expertly designed...
-and by the memories of magical guided journeys he took us on up Desolation Sound on Galatea and Legendary...
-and the two amazing homes he built in Mexico and the fun times we had there...
-by so many memories of the long and close friendship between him and John...
- and the four of us together, sharing music, movies and stories of travel, work and play...
-and the comfort and fun of his inspiring friendship.
My deepest sympathy to dear Jan and all of Bruce's loving family."
"The first time we met Bruce in San Carlos, we loved his quiet, humble spirit, his obvious love for Jan and his affection for Teddy & Nico. Just a sweet, wonderful guy. It was a privilege to know him. Love to you and your family, Jan. ~Mary & Grace"
"Richard and I can only echo these tributes by adding how honored we feel to have known Bruce,a brilliant and inspirational artist.
He and Jan (Mama 2) came out to Colorado in our darkest hour demonstrating their love for our son Jamie and their compassion for us.
No-one compares to you, Bruce. We'll always love you!"
"We are so sad about Bruce. I remember the day I met Jan when she came to work at Associated Grocers. Bruce would stop by the office. What a perfect couple. He was such an interesting, humble man with a sparkle in his eyes! Always showed interest in everyone and asked questions and made sure you were having fun. I remember Jan's 50th and how Bruce treated her as a Queen - in fact he treated all of us that way on her special day. Bruce made us feel like we were special and important - he certainly had a gift. I loved how he and Jan laughed. He truly loved Jan and my heart breaks that she has lost her soul mate and I feel so honored to have been included in their lives. Bruce will be missed by so many. Our deepest condolences to Jan, your family and even the furry kids. Love Bob and Lynn"
"mi querido bruce llegaste a mi vida como un angel , siempre me senti protegida y querida por ti y mi querida jan te quiero mucho y tu partida a sido muy triste para mi hija y para mi por siempre estaras en nuestro corazon y ahora tenemos un angel que de donde este nos cuidara"
"Bruce, you have been a charismatic, kind and inspirational leader in ASID, in the design field and in LIFE. You led by example and demonstrated to us how to live life to the fullest. You will be missed by people throughout the world-all of us have been touched by your spirit. God bless you."
"When I lived in Mexico Bruce left his car at my place to fly to Japan. When he came back it was Christmas time and he was so excited to bring Jan a new purse. Bruce and Jan helped me move out of a bad situation when I lived in Puerto Vallarta. He came to my house and helped me pack my van so I could drive back to Seattle. .They are both my Heroes beside being cousins..
My Mother was so happy that Jan had met Bruce and where married. She thought he was so wonderful and would be good to Jan. He helped my parents remodel their house. Mom was so grateful to him for the job he did. He was always so happy to see the Smith family."
"I was privileged to work with Bruce in the Washington State Chapter of ASID.
One of my fondest memories of him was a day following a meeting in Florida when all the other ASIDers went to Epcot or Disneyworld, but Bruce and I opted for Cape Canaveral, We rented a car, and had a wonderful experience together.
He was an outstanding designer and friend."
"I met Bruce probably at the same time as Michael at an ASID Board training...we were newbies then and watched Bruce with admiration. This came to light when in one of our infamous conversations about "branding" and what the traveling ASID booth should look like, Bruce whips out a pad of paper, a Sign pen and in about 30 seconds, shows an amazing sketch and says "THERE!" It's not that tough! Great talent and vision, always respectful of people and interested in what they had to say. He will be missed."
"Bruce was a fine man with humor and kindness. the world is smaller without him."
"Bruce, I have no words to express how sad I am that you are gone... but you know how I feel anyway.
See you on the other side.
"I was very blessed to meet Bruce and Jan in San Carlos, Mexico. I loved him the first time we met, and shared many special birthday's and holiday's with the two of them. Bruce was so vibrant, intelligent and humble. He was always positive, and inspired me through a very difficult time. He will always be my hero. Love always........."
"I can clearly remember the first time I met Bruce, at an ASID board training meeting, nearly a decade ago. With a deep resounding voice, sparkling eyes, quite a robust laughter, and a savvy and vision well beyond many of his peers, I knew he would be dynamic as the President of the Society. And he was. • The last time I saw Mr. B was at his ASID "president's roast" where so many colleagues and friends honored him for his service to ASID. Despite his illness, that wonderful voice and laughter was still just as captivating as was the first time we met. But it was his sparkling eyes that still shone thru despite his physical challenges and that I will always remember."
"I met the lovely man named Bruce and his lovely bride Jan while working at the Ballard Q.F.C. They would come thru my check out lane both together and separately!!!! He was such a nice, kind and very funny guy!!! And of course Jan & I hit it of due to our smart Aleck sense of humor!!!!! I could always always see the Love they had for one another....just by the way they looked at each other!!! I sure did miss seeing them after they moved away!!!! However I did get to see them briefly while I was down in Sayulita!!!! How blessed were they to have spent 30 beautiful years together!! I'm sorry for our loss here on earth, but I truly believe in Angels!!!"
"Here is the obituary that will appear in the Seattle Times on Sunday, July 13, 2014.
Acclaimed international designer and former Seattle area resident
Bruce J. Brigham dies at 63
Bruce J. Brigham, an acclaimed interior designer whose credits include everything from a makeover of Cartier stores worldwide to the short-notice revamp of a Seattle hotel suite for the Sultan of Brunei, has died in Boise, Idaho. He was 63.
The cause was cerebellar ataxia, said Jan Ambrose, his wife of 30 years.
Brigham was a pioneer in retail branding and design and won numerous awards for his work. He was a Fellow of the American Society of Interior Designers and served as president of the ASID National Board of Directors in 2009. He appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and wrote for several design and marketing magazines. He was involved in the addition of 150,000 square feet of retail space to the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and design of a 105,000 square-foot waterfront resort and casino for the Lummi Indian Nation. Brigham's design talents were applied to the makeover of 180 Cartier boutiques around the world and store redesigns for Hong Kong-based TSL Jewellery, the largest jewelry company in China.
One of Brigham's noteworthy Pacific Northwest efforts was revamping the penthouse suite of the Alexis Hotel in Seattle for a visit from the Sultan of Brunei. Brigham reportedly had 48 hours to do the job – and was given an unlimited budget and access to the Seattle Art Museum's collection, said his cousin, Adrienne Robineau. Brigham's design and renovation of the Seattle Supersonics Courtside Club was also widely acclaimed.
Bruce James Brigham was born Feb. 4, 1951, in Sona-Bata, Belgian Congo – now the Democratic Republic of Congo – where his father was a representative for a New York export company. The family moved to the United States when Brigham was 2 months old. He graduated from New Trier West High School in Winnetka, Illinois, and earned a bachelor's degree in Art and Architectural History from Williams College.
He moved to Vashon Island after college and worked as a carpenter before becoming involved in design and branding. He met Ambrose on the island in 1984. They were married Oct. 11, 1986.
Brigham was managing principal of Planet Retail Studios – an international brand development and design company based in Seattle – before opening his own consulting firm. He designed and supervised more than 400 projects.
Brigham was known for his love of jazz. Avid boaters, he and Ambrose lived aboard their 49 foot Alaskan trawler and often cruised the San Juan Islands and Canada's Gulf Islands and particularly loved Desolation Sound. He and Ambrose moved to Mexico in 2001 and Brigham designed and built homes for the couple in Turtle Beach – north of Puerto Vallarta – Sayulita and, most recently, San Carlos. They moved to the Boise area to be closer to family a few years ago as his illness became more serious.
Brigham died July 8 in Boise with his wife, and his best friend, John Seakwood, at his side.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Betsy, in 1996. He is survived by his wife, Jan Ambrose; his father, Georges Brigham; sister Denise Morocco; brother Peter Brigham; stepsons Peter Clark and Tom Clark; brother-in-law Stephen Morocco; sisters-in-law Penny Brigham, Kelly Ambrose, Laurie Ambrose and Lisa Ambrose; six grandchildren; five nephews and six nieces.
The family suggests memorial donations in Brigham's name go to the American Society of Interior Designers Foundation (http://www.asidfoundation.org/CONTRIBUTE.html). Arrangements for a private service are pending."
"Bruce was our daughter Stephanie's first boss at Planet Retail when she relocated to Seattle from Ithaca, NY in the mid 1990's! Bruce was kind and inspirational and a great mentor for Stephanie. We met Bruce several times on visits to Seattle, and found him to be so welcoming and friendly! He instantly made a huge impression and thus we are so sorry to learn of his passing! Our thoughts and our blessings are with his family at this very difficult time! RIP Bruce. Terry and Duane Davis, Ithaca, NY."
"Bruce was a wonderfully brave and kind man whom will be missed by so many at ASID. His enthusiasm and passion for design lit up the room and his gentle leadership inspired us all. May you now be free from pain. Judy F."
"What sad news to hear of Bruce's passing. I personally couldn't have imagined my time in Seattle any other way than working at PRS back when I knew next to nothing right out of design school...learning from such a charismatic Master of his craft. Bruce, thank you for leaving such a lasting and positive impression. After all, "Who remembers anything ordinary?" The answer of course, is no one. You will always be remembered. Love to your family, Margie (McNally) Dettor"
"Miss you cousin, hope you are free from pain and with your Mom in heaven, xo -A-"

text: I have a 22 acre residence and need something vastly better than a 40" Deere garden tractor with a belly mower. Scag, Hustler and Exmark are the three supported product lines in my area. If I look around, Toro is probably on that list too. There are a couple acres of manicured lawn up around the house, about two acres of rough that needs to be trimmed up and down the driveway (half mile long), and for another 5-6 years, there is 5 acres in young fir trees that need to be mowed between. Over this time the trees will grow up and together, eliminating that 5 acres from mowing. The property is fairly flat to mild slope. There is one long, narrow strip of wicked side slope that scares the daylights out of me on my 30 and 60-horse tractors, but the neighbor uses the same equipment to mow this stretch and is still alive. Everything but the 2 acres up around the house is a little bumpy. Not bad, just not smooth. No potholes. The little Deere mower doesn't scalp. Beds are fairly wide spaced, nothing is tight. No gate problems. Up around the house I like to cut short. Farther away from the house I cut at 3" to 4" depending on the moisture. Your suggestions for commercial quality mowers would be much appreciated. What deck width and manufacturer would you use? Like you, I'm not impervious to the new economic reality that's unfolding, but going cheap is always a mistake. I may keep an eye on craigslist for used equipment and, if so, will probably have to show a little more flexibility. There is a Hustler Super Z 60" with Triton deck for about $7,000 with under 100 hours. I've seen a couple of JD F935's for sale, but not sure if a ZTR wouldn't be better overall. The grass here tends to be wet and heavy. Fescue blend. It rains a lot in Oregon--sort of similar to the NE, just wetter. So when in doubt, ask the pros! Your experience is appreciated. Thanks, John

text: Hi, I run a road construction company in Colombia, we own several excavator, buldozers etc. But recently we began urban projects and are looking for smaller machines, I need to decide on a skid steer. Due to the few dealers here the only two options would be either a Bobcat s185 (or s175) or a Cat 236B. They would be used for loading dirt, pavement demolition and unloading paving stones, etc. PLease let me know your opinions. Juan Rivera
