The One Thing
[tweetmeme source="jeffreysaltzman"]
For many years, in manager training sessions which covered how to utilize your employee survey results, I always suggested to managers that they decide on which two or three issues were the most important and take action on that limited number. No more than two or three, not a long list of tasks, a long list that would almost certainly ensure that nothing would actually get done. Keep the list small, keep the list manageable. Everyone's plate is already full and piling on to-do's would simply become overwhelming. I am re-evaluating that advice, but my evaluation is not about whether managers should have a longer list of action items, but rather should the short list be even shorter.
While it may sound odd after spending so much time and energy on planning for an employee survey, collecting the data, analyzing it every which way and reporting it back, but I am beginning to feel that the best advice on what to do with it, in today's environment is to pick "The One Thing" that rises to the top, that the management team feels will make a substantial difference and to go out and make a difference on it.
When you examine norm data and look at who are the top performers on a particular issue, which companies score most strongly for instance on customer focus, innovation, timeliness, cooperation, etc. or more broadly on Message, Performance enablement (against message) and Future related issues you find a somewhat different list of top performing organizations. Meaning that the list of top performers is a changing list, depending on which item you are looking at. It appears that a widely admired company for instance will not be the top performer across the board necessarily, but rather will excel in some areas, and be more average in others.
I would argue that no company has the time, energy or resources to simply come out and say that "we will be the best in the world on everything", I would further argue that the logic doesn't make sense. By definition resources are a limited commodity. No one has infinite money, people or time. Further there are relatively few cases where two companies exist in exactly the same market niche. In fact much time, money and people's effort are spent in figuring out how to differentiate one's products from the competition (both the products sold to your customers and the employee value proposition sold to your employees). Organizations need to choose which areas will be most critical to success in their niche. Will it be to become the most innovative, having the leading edge product to market before the competition, or to be the most responsive or to be the most value for the money spent etc? Sometimes these choices are somewhat contradictory. For instance if you are going to be the organization that provides the most value, stretching the consumer's dollar, it can be difficult to be the most innovative, as innovation often carries a price tag as would concepts like being the highest quality or most responsive.
Companies that try to be all things end up having a confused Message that will hurt their performance, with changing directions and priorities the norm internally and customers seeing and experiencing inconsistencies. No one knows what the organization really stands for, including the organization.
Managers who are examining their employee survey results and require themselves to pick "The One Thing" are in essence defining what is important for their organization to stand for. What is the one thing that if done better than anyone else will enable the organization to succeed?
There is another aspect to "The One Thing" that is important and that is you can't hide from it. When managers have picked 2-3 issues to tackle from their employee survey results they invariably go after "the low hanging fruit", the easy fixes. While that is all well and good, sometimes after going after the fruit, they never quite get around to tacking the tough issues, the thorns higher up on the branch. Later on they can point to progress made in some areas, after all we got the low hangers, but the real challenges are still the real challenges, those thorns are still as sharp as ever. If managers pick "The One Thing", when evaluating their progress they either did it or they did not, period.
The challenge is to pick "The One Thing" that has the potential for the greatest across the board impact, and that is where initial effort needs to focus. Which thing is the thread that if pulled will impact all the other threads that make up the organizational tapestry? Where do you concentrate? As you begin to think this through you rapidly come to the realization that picking "The One Thing" does not necessarily lead to any less work or effort to be expended in responding to survey results, it leads to a more focused, a more concentrated effort. In order to successfully accomplish "The One Thing" it is very likely that multiple other things need to be addressed as subtasks as well.
Should an organization pick one standard thing, driven from the top so that everyone is working the same issue or should local managers pick the one that is critical to them at their level? I believe that Sr. Managers should pick "The One Thing" that is critical at their level and they should champion it. They should be held responsible for getting it done and for driving it through the organization. Other managers within the organization should be picking their one thing, which is in support of the top level one thing, within their control, if the organization is to have a concentrated effort in responding to the survey results and actually make a difference on an identified critical dimension. I believe that there are some nuances that will come into play here depending on where an organization resides across the board on some issues, but in general that is the concept.
"The One Thing" can be scary. It is much easier to pick a whole host of issues, knowing that if you do a bit of everything you will likely touch on the ones that are really important to your organization, but you will touch on them in a lukewarm, less focused way. If you are looking for maximal organizational improvement impact "The One Thing", while likely the most challenging, has the most potential to deliver.

❝One person's craziness is another person's reality.❞
January 6, 2009
I don't really follow actors, actresses or celebrities. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to that sort of thing, which is pretty weird for a teenaged girl. But, I have to say, the one "celebrity" which I can, and always will,
obsessively stalk look up to and devote every bit of my respect to is a director known as Tim Burton. To me, he isn't just a director — the man is a mastermind; a genius which deserves recognition higher than any other man. He is an artist; his mind works in a way which is brilliantly difficult to understand. He is complex, surrounded in this aura of mystery.
It all started with The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm aware that he didn't direct it, but still — "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas." The name just…stuck in my head. The songs were amazing; the characters (even Oogie Boogie ._.) were all loveable, and Sally was (and still is) one of the very few female leads who I actually do not regard as a complete and utter pansy (and LYDIA, can't forget her). Not to mention, The Nightmare is what planted the seeds for my complete and utter obsession with stopmotion films. I recently downloaded Nightmare Revisited — a bunch of my favourite bands re-did all of the musical pieces in the original Nightmare Before Xmas, and whilst the original will always be my favourite, the remakes really do them justice. (Except for Jack's Lament by The All-American Rejects. SERIOUSLY, WHY THE HELL DID THE LAME BAND GET THE BEST SONG IN THE FILM? Ugh. KoRn did "Kidnap The Sandy Claws" justice, and Marilyn Manson really and truly aced "This Is Halloween. :DD But I'm getting off-topic, so…xD)
Then came Edward Scissorhands. This is the film which blew me away with all its metaphorical content. It hit a very, very sore spot for me. In Caroline Thompson's commentary, she described it as "a fable…a story that people don't necessarily believe, but they understand…. [Edward Scissorhands] is about feeling like you don't belong…about wanting to belong, about trying so hard to belong, yet you just can't belong." She hit the nail right on the head — given that heart-wrenchingly, nostalgic feeling which I experience everytime I watch it, overflowing with beautiful imagery, exquisite music… Edward Scissorhands had a huge impact on my life, in a way I can't even put into words. "It expresses the feeling that your image and how people perceive you," Burton said, "are at odds with what is inside you."
(Yes. I look at his films' commentaries. Sue me. I also have most of the soundtracks.)
Burton grew up in the suburbs — just like the town we see in Edward Scissorhands. Happy faces, cute little families, all of that. I think I can relate to him in how he must've felt. I'd describe it as feeling "like a flamingo in a crowd of pidgeons." It may sound vain, but think about it. A flamingo in a crowd of pidgeons may stand out, but what makes you think that that's a good thing? The pidgeons wouldn't exactly acknowledge or appreciate the flamingo, the flamingo would hate the pidgeons — probably sometimes wishing that it, itself, were a pidgeon — and then it all just ends up being one big mess.
When talking about his teenaged years (regarding his love for horror films rather than going out in the sun and being another All-American Boy) Burton said: "I felt most monsters were basically misperceived — I thought that they usually had more heartfelt souls than the human characters around them." I couldn't have put it better myself — I've always felt that way — even before I knew of Burton's works. As a child, I loved the Witch in Sleeping Beauty. Maleficent? I'm not sure I spelt that right. "She was just upset about not getting invited to the princess' party," I'd tell my mother. My mother would chuckle and pat me on the head, saying that I was a strange one. Never has someone honestly agreed with me. Many just say that they do — but I know they really don't. Tim Burton saying that line alone — without even knowing how much of an impact it had on this silly girl — was enough to gain a lifetime of respect from me.
Next was Big Fish. The film itself beautifully blends reality and fantasy. It brings fiction to life without seeming pretentious or ignorant. Edward Bloom was able to live in his beautifully magical world — all the while, staying in reality. Amazing, profoundly amazing. The ending was THE BEST, and the characters were all so silly — each having their own little quirks.
I guess, in a nutshell, Tim Burton will always be my idol. I've always, always, ALWAYS wanted to meet him. Just to shake hands with him would be a great honour. He's my idea of an artist — he is what I want to aspire to be. He can convey so much expression, so much emotion, in the simplist of scenes.
To put it simply:
He is a genius.

Fr Finigan is the parish priest of of the church of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary at Blackfen in south east London. He is an exceptionally active priest, lecturing part time at St John's Seminary in addition to running a busy parish. He is also very active in the Faith Movement and on Life issues.
Fr Finigan has provided an extra Mass every Sunday (He says four including the vigil one) and this Mass is in the usus antiquior. It seems that some parishioners (I think about six) are trying to make things difficult for him and have complained to the Archbishop of Southwark. Bishop Lynch, the auxiliary responsible for that area, had a meeting with them and it seems that they were disappointed when he refused to at on their complaint. Their next tactic was to contact the Tablet, whose the deputy editor, Elenor Curti, was dispatched to visit the parish. The result is an article in today's issue attacking Fr Finigan. The article can be read on the Tablet website..
I would recommend that anyone who takes the Tablet should cancel their order. I would also suggest that readers send a letter of complaint to the editor. The e-mail address can also be found on the Tablet website.
I know Fr Finigan quite well. He was a tutor at both the training conferences held at Merton College. He also went to the same school as me, although not at the same time. He is probably best known for his blog, the Hermeneutic of Continuity.

A Young Group of Friends with a Common Goal
These young guys (Jay (25), Alpesh (28) and Saloni (under 30) had a vision to work together to pursue a passion for property development and wealth creation. They created the company Safari Developments (inspired by their Kenyan origin), with a future hope of being property developers.
Relatively new to property investing, Jay thought that although his partners had existing property portfolios, they still needed a helping hand to make their dream happen. And through the help and expert advice of Property Wizards, this young group of dreamers formed their strategy of creating capital growth through property with the potential for subdivision.
"Buy the properties, subdivide as quickly as possible and sell off one, if not all the blocks to create capital to start again."
Property Wizards soon found them a great property in High Wycombe at the right price which could be subdivided while keeping the existing home. It wasn't even on the market yet when our team provided them with a comprehensive report covering all aspects of the property! This included research on the area and other comparable properties which were both on the market and had recently sold.
We secured the property for $25,000 under its fair market value before it hit the market and other buyers could have snapped it up.
"There is no way we could have known or achieved what the Property Wizards methods did, without the knowledge and access to information their systems provide."
We enjoyed working with these young individuals and see them succeed in their business endevour. Proof that it is never too early to start investing in property.
"Working with Property Wizards was such an educating experience and being new to the industry, I was able to gain a lot of knowledge in a very short period of time. We are looking forward to our next purchase sometime next year and adding to our portfolio." – Jay, Safari Developments
Property Wizards believes everyone has the right to the knowledge to help you accumulate wealth, no matter your background, education or income.
We can help you unlock the potential of the real estate market for your family through savvy property selection, negotiation on price and conditions, development expertise and the magic of robust research.
Regardless of market conditions, our research, local knowledge, and access to silent sales means we find the hidden gems that can outperform the market in capital growth and rental returns for long term wealth creation.
Importantly, we're able to provide property investors and homebuyers with the same level of representation that property sellers have benefited from for years.
Your property portfolio is your path to financial freedom and the lifestyle you've been longing for.
Property Wizards takes away the stress of buying a property and saves you money at the same time. We can show you how, or you can sit back and let us do all the hard work for you.

Hello stranger! Long time no see, huh?! I have been busy around here. I'm not 100% finished with everything yet, but I will say that the majority of it's done. That definitely takes a lot of stress off of my mind for a minute. I'll probably enjoy a day off tomorrow…we're supposed to get some snow and ice tomorrow through Saturday. It'll be nice to get snowed in with my 3 guys for the next few days, but it'll also give me a chance to get caught up on emails and get a head start on January DCC issue. This month we put out two December issues and guess what….one of them is FREE! They are both available on the iPad/iPhone and we will have the PDF available soon! We also brought our sketch challenge back this month. Make sure and check that out above, if you're interested in entering! We have a $25 Two Peas in a Bucket gift certificate available to whoever is chosen!!
Have you been doing Elf on the Shelf? This is our first year and it's so fun! I think I enjoy it more than anyone in our house. The boys are starting to understand it, but they're just not sure about this pesky elf right now. We started it December 1st and the boys named our little elf Mushroom. Yes…Mushroom!! Here's a few pictures from the last few days.
It's fun trying to figure out what to do next. I've started a folder with ideas from Pinterest, so hopefully I won't run out of ideas before Christmas. I think it's a fun tradition to start…I would have loved it when I was a kid. I'd love to see what Elf on the Shelf ideas you have!! Leave me a comment if you're playing along this year.
Today is my mother-in-laws birthday. I made her this card.
I thought I'd do a Christmas/Not so Christmas birthday card since her birthday is in December. I wish I would have taken a picture of the inside. I placed a little Christmas tree with jewels inside and had the boys sign their names. It was really cute and she loved it!! We bought her a plant (I don't remember what kind…but it was pretty!) and two poinsettias. So the card went well with the gift. 🙂
Well…it's getting late and I need my beauty sleep. Hope you all stay warm!
Hello readers. I've been busy lately…working…training the pup…mom/wife stuff. I just finished working on DCC for the night. I'm almost finished with the Free Holiday Issue and then I've got lots of work ahead for the other December issue. It's a little overwhelming, but I'll get her finished! I'm getting excited about Thanksgiving coming up next week. We won't be hosting anyone at our house this year! Yippee! I can just relax and eat! I am going over to help granny cook on Friday. She's going to teach me how to make her famous Thanksgiving dinner. Someone will eventually have to take over one day and I don't want it to taste any other way! I love my grannies cookin. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. You get to eat all you want…all the family gets together…and you don't buy gifts for anyone! I really wanted to run a 5k this Thanksgiving, but my lazy butt has not ran in over a month. I'm ashamed to admit that, but it's true. I do however plan to start back up and stick with it.
I'm off to take the dogs out. We're under winter weather advisory and expecting ice….it makes potty training a puppy extra fun!!
I love Saturdays. So laid back with nowhere to rush off to. The boys and I did some grocery shopping today. While we were getting ready the door bell rang. I assumed it was my mother-in-law, who was going shopping with us, but when I opened the door it was four little kids asking if the boys could come out and play. Huh? When did this happen? My boys are to little for this!! Before I know it, they will be running all over town with friends. I seriously can't even believe that. I wish I could just stop time…I don't want them to grow up!!
After we did our grocery shopping, the boys friends came back over and they played outside for hours. It's November and it's freaking gorgeous outside. It's almost ridiculous how nice the weather has been lately. We walked to the park and played and then headed back home. We had a big night of fun ahead….BABYSITTING! We had the chance to watch our neighbors little girl tonight….she's six months old and just precious. We had a good time and the boys were awesome with her. They were so gentle and loving. It was nice to see them with her and not the rough and tough brothers I'm use to seeing on most nights. They are the best kids I could have ever imagined having. I feel lucky to be their momma.
Well, everyone's tucked into bed and I'm still up watching Netflix. I feel like I may be catching a cold. Yuck! I'm starting to get congested and that is horrible for me. I'd rather get stabbed in the leg (maybe I'm exaggerating) than have a head cold. Nothing is more frustrating than a stuffy nose when you're laying in bed trying to get to sleep and you can't breathe! On that note, I'm going to take some meds and hope that it'll knock it out.
Hope you enjoyed your Saturday and have a great Sunday with your family.
Thanks for reading!
I'm having a hard time finding something to blog about tonight. My mind is recovering from the full day the kids and I had. I just want to lay here and relax.
Kid free.
iTunes radio on.
Lucy curled up next to me.
Sounds pretty nice, huh? After this blog is finished, I'm going to make a cup of coffee and enjoy a movie.
Here's a few things on my mind at the moment.
*Home school is going great. The boys are doing well and adjusting to the fact that it's a daily thing. After breakfast they are allowed time to play and do morning routine. Once I tell them it's time to do school they're ready and willing to learn. I 100% believe we are making the best decision for them no matter what others may think.
*Running. We haven't run at all this week and I'm a little ashamed to admit that. We need to run tomorrow. No exceptions.
*I really want to start doing yoga again. It's been on my mind a lot lately and I haven't made the time to do it. I'm sure there's a reason I keep thinking about it. I need to get my lazy butt in gear.
*I just remembered I have 2 loads of laundry in the garage. Total bummer! I guess I'll get to that as my coffee is brewing.
*I need to get the boys some winter clothes.
*Speaking of winter….Christmas is in 84 days. What the heck!
*My last doctor appointment for my hand is Thursday. I'm so ready to get it over with and be done with all this wreck stuff. My hand is probably 95% back to normal. I can live with that. There's still things I can't do, but I'm hopeful that one day it'll be 100%. You know what bothers me? I swear I'm not making this up….my finger nail is different. It has started growing weird. It's like super curved and it drives me crazy! It must have had something to do with the cast.
*I'm loving the weather lately. I need to make sure and let the boys enjoy it before it gets to cold. I see plenty of trips to the park this month.
*We watched the movie Olympus Has Fallen last night. It's your typical one man saves the world type of movie, but it was good. It kept me on edge the entire movie. We also watched Oblivion a few nights ago. It was super good! Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it. (I've been a movie mood lately)
*I love Apple. I'm a iPhone user for life, but iOS 7 is starting to disappoint me. Only in one area. (It's not giving me vertigo or anything crazy.) My messages are all jacked up. Most of the time I can't send or receive any text/iMessages. I updated yesterday with the bug fix update they came out with. It's helped the situation, but it's still being crazy here and there. I know Apple will fix the problem, I just hope it's sooner than later.
Well folks…I think I better get to that laundry. Thankfully it's towels and they're quick and easy. Enjoy your Wednesday. The week is halfway over and the weekend will be here before we know it.

Coping with evolving regulatory pressures and growing consumer expectations
A strong regulatory focus and understanding of consumer trends is the key to establishing a competitive advantage in the commercialization of new products, says Beth Concoby, DuPont's Director of Product Stewardship and Sustainability.
The art of the front runner
DuPont is being challenged to accelerate the development of new, sustainable enzymes that meet global challenges in the laundry industry and regulatory requirements.
"Regulations should support and enable sustainable innovation."
Beth Concoby
Director of Product Stewardship and Sustainability, DuPont
"It's our job to stay on top of regulations and shifting market expectations," says Beth Concoby, DuPont's Director of Product Stewardship and Sustainability. "We need to bring compliant products to market that are safe for the intended use and meet customer requirements.
"To achieve this goal, we integrate product stewardship and regulatory concerns into our process of commercialization, starting with early engagement during the R&D phase."
The power of collaboration
Positive relationships help to give DuPont powerful insights by "gaining a better understanding of the regulators' view," Concoby says. It's information that can be used to develop new products that are tailored to the market and regulation-ready.
The road to sustainability
Regulatory pressures and an increasing stakeholder focus on sustainability have helped to drive the demand for environmentally sustainable products.
"Regulations should support and enable sustainable innovation," Concoby believes.
Benefits for all
DuPont's core values are environmental stewardship, the highest ethical behavior, and respect for its people. These core values are reflected in the products that it brings to the market.
"We want to bring what's best for the consumer, the workers and the planet," Concoby says.

I don't what's happened but I ain't slept been well and truly f. Ked over by the worst 2 teams in the league cause its obvious for all how we are going to set up. Nevez needs to get of his pedistal and actually start playing. Is Costa just going just be knocked of the ball all the time and run into dead ends. Traore should piss of to Tipton Harriers cause he can only run. Sorry guys i'm cranky and f. King livid. another weekend spoilt.
{Ed025's Note - this is caused by setting your expectations too high wombourne, the talk of top 6 was always folly and as i said at the time avoiding relegation was always the main goal, i think you are doing ok and a spell like this was always on the cards but i think you have enough to survive mate even though that is probably less than you want to hear..

Hi there, come on in. Friends are always welcome here, let me show you around. Sit back and relax, it's going to be a long one.
Of course you see our foyer filled with some meaningful items and also some quirky things. Baseball and the US flag go hand in hand, I don't do baseball, but I do do the US flag, which is done very nicely by Dixie Dandelion. Magnum Opus, who created the lamp, is fast becoming a fav creator of mine. What home is complete without plants and flowers? D&s Designs has perfectly brought color and freshness to the foyer. And did you see the Peeps jumping up and down? T asked me what they are and wished I didn't live on another planet. I gasped because, well, everyone should have peeps at Easter. (Peeps are bunny shaped marshmallow with a thin coating of sugar.)
.And, this is my person, Tony in a frame by [MO]. He really needs to get off whatever planet he's on, cuz he doesn't know any good foods. 😛 Park Place Decor's Dark Wave bowl and Dark Knight Decor's Love vase finish this corner and gives it some color.
I always like to have an accent wall, and Timeless Textures has some really nice textures for The Wash Cart Sale. I chose the Fairy Tales Cottage Hydrangea texture for the wall, [MO] has the Hope blocks and the Vintage mirror for The Cart Sale. Park Place has the Attic Treasures Bowl & White Marble Statue. I'm loving the birdhouse candles by Low Prim Living.
The Amaryllis is by Ollies Follies, and the Wine tray is by [MO].
.Well, while the cats away, the mice will play…T's games that is. T is a gamer, always going on about this game or that one. I knew he would flip for the Munchie Man chair from Wood Works. It may be his game room, but I have to put some decoration in no matter how much he gripes. 😀 So, I put up the wonderful tapestry by The Artist Shed, the book shelf is by Low Prim Living and I have to lay while I'm reading and Park Place Decor (another fav designer) has the floor throw pillows.
.Since we are done, let's go outside and I'll show you the greenhouse by Dixie Dandelions. It's gorgeous, well made and has lovely hydrangea's growing inside.
When I was little, I remember both sets of grandparents had outdoor Patio chairs like these by Wood Works. In the evenings as the sun was going down, all the adults would gather on the porch to visit, drink coffee and watch us kids catching fireflies. The Grape Leaf bench in the background is also by Wood Works. The flowers are by Crys Secret Garden.
And, all this is available at The Wash Cart Sale till March 30th. The best part, everything here is either $10L or max of a whopping $50L. So, gooooo, don't miss it!

If two dancers are required to occupy the same position at the end of a call, and are facing in opposite directions from each other, they form a Right-Hand Mini-Wave. If an adjustment is necessary (since they are now two dancers side-by-side in a formation that expected one dancer), the adjustment is sideways, towards the outside of the group in which they were working.
Callers should not use a call that would result in two dancers who are facing the same direction, or at right angles, trying to occupy the same position.

The Science Behind Geothermal Heating and CoolingPublished on: November 29, 2017
Geothermal heat pumps are an eco-friendly alternative to more traditional forms of heating and cooling. If you're looking for a smart way to maintain home comfort in Tampa, Florida, without putting too much strain on the planet or your wallet, a geothermal system offers all the benefits you're looking for. Take a look at some of the science behind the brilliant way that a geothermal system works.
The Wealth of Energy in the Earth
When people think of energy resources buried in the earth, they're usually picturing oil. However, there's another largely untapped source of energy just beneath your feet. The earth has a layer of magma under its crust, continually producing heat from the decay of materials like potassium and uranium. Within 33,000 feet of the planet's surface, there's 50,000 times the energy of all the natural gas and oil on the planet.
Conditions are most favorable for geothermal energy plants in the western part of the United States in areas like Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon. However, you can access some level of geothermal energy anywhere in the country, including the cities within our service area.
How Geothermal Systems Move Heat
Geothermal heating and cooling systems take advantage of the heat under the earth's surface in another way. Directly below the earth's surface, the ground maintains a stable temperature year-round that's typically between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. In summer, it's cooler than the surrounding air. In winter, temperatures underground are warmer.
Geothermal heat pumps circulate water or another liquid in loops placed underneath the earth's surface. Within these loops, the liquid will either absorb or disperse heat. This allows a geothermal system to work year-round, no matter what type of comfort you need. In summer, the liquid will carry excess heat from your home under the earth's surface where it's dispersed in the slightly cooler ground. In winter, the liquid enters the ground cold and absorbs heat from the earth, bringing it back up to your home.
The Efficiency of Heat Pumps
Unlike a central heating system, which generates heat itself, a heat pump moves warmth that's already there. Geothermal systems work very similarly to air source heat pumps. Both are more energy-efficient than central heating and cooling systems. Geothermal heat pumps have several advantages over even their air source counterparts. They are quieter, have a longer lifespan, and require less maintenance. A ground source heat pump is also more reliable than an air source system. The temperature under the earth remains constant in a given area, while the air temperature is always fluctuating.
Types of Geothermal Heat Pumps
Geothermal heat pumps are either closed loop or open loop systems. As the name suggests, a closed loop system has a loop of piping that's completely closed. Refrigerant circulates within this loop, transferring heat between your home and the ground.
Closed loop systems come in several shapes. Horizontal closed loop systems place pipes in long trenches in the ground that are at least 4 feet deep. Most use at least two lengths of pipe, and some loop the piping to fit more length in a smaller space. Vertical closed loop systems feature long pipes inserted into holes ranging from 100 to 400 feet deep. Several holes are drilled in one area, about 20 feet from one another, with the horizontal connections placed in deep trenches between the deeper U-bends.
A third closed loop system is a pond or lake geothermal heat pump. In this scenario, long horizontal loops are placed underwater at a depth of at least 8 feet.
Finally, you have open loop systems. These use surface body water or well water instead of refrigerant. If clean water is available in one of these forms, you can opt for an open loop system that takes advantage of this unique geological feature near your home or office. ANATE certified HVAC technician can help you explore the options in your area.

I had to crack up when I saw the one star reviews on this book. That's the grassroots portion of the Israel Lobby voicing its objection to truth again, (they do that A LOT). It's also an excellent indication the book, film or information you're seeking is exactly what you need to read. I first ran into this
The Lobby is out in force
The book on Jews Against Zionism, the Torah True Jews of New York who are 100% anti-apartheid, (Israel is the world's only aparthied nation today. They call it 'Zionism'). One of the tools used to keep apartheid alive and well in Israel is, as Norm Finkelstein put it, the Holocaust Industry. Yes, the German holocaust happened…as did another seven during the twentieth century. The Zionist movement set on the complete conquest of Palestine for a Jewish supremacist state did work with the Nazis. These documents prove it as do such facts as Walburg's handling of security for the Nazi state until 1939, (his brother was one of the founding members of our Federal Reserve). Walburg, though Jewish was allowed to leave Nazi Germany with his fortune in tact in 1939 so certain influential Jews were shielded from Nazi oppression. You should be asking why. These documents will help you understand the double standard. Of course be careful where you discuss this. In some countries, deviating from the accepted historical revisionism with the truth on this issue, the German holocaust, lands you in jail. That is if you talk about the 50% of the victims who were Jewish. See, the Catholics, Mentally Ill, homosexuals, Gypsies, Communists and handicap making up the other 50% of victims, they don't matter anymore.
They were not the right faith, nor were they included in reparations and rarely are they mentioned…even in the state funded holocaust museums. (Hint that also should give you a clue there is something very unkosher about this whole thing…that 50% of the victims no longer are mentioned or matter)
If history has lessons, you need to know these. Just be very careful with whom you discuss this book's details. Trillions of dollars depend on the truth not getting out because if it does, the world's greatest victims are shown for what they really are, the world's foremost victimizers.
If that happens, bye, bye US support; bye bye US aid; bye bye protection from war crimes prosecution and bye, bye what little international sympathy that is left. Like I said. A lot is at stake if people learn the whole truth about the German holocaust. Today truth will land you in jail and that fear is used to censor your thoughts and what you read. Another reason you probably want to read this book.

New reports corroborate the explosive allegation that officials from U.S. intelligence agencies have held back on delivering important intelligence to President Donald Trump and the White House, over fears both are compromised by the Kremlin.
Although it is routine for intelligence services to be selective in the specificity of information they choose to present to a president or Congress in a particular brief, often citing secrecy for the sake of method or source protection, these allegations allude that the nation's spies are actively worried about disclosing sensitive information at all—an implication that raises grave national security concerns.
The claim was originally made by John Schindler, a former National Security Agency analyst, writing in a column for the New York Observer. Now, the Wall Street Journal reports that several current and former officials familiar with the matter have confidentially confirmed the claim.
Schindler had written on Sunday that there was an increasing concern within the intelligence community over information security and the extent of the administration's ties to Russia.
"Not only do senior officials possess troubling ties to the Kremlin, there are nagging questions about basic competence regarding Team Trump," Schindler writes.
The ex-NSA counterintelligence agent goes on to quote an unnamed source from inside the Pentagon who bluntly tells him that "…there's not much the Russians don't know at this point."
Anxiety that members of the intelligence community might have had will not have been helped this week by the scandal that saw the resignation of former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, once a trusted member of Trump's inner circle.
It surfaced that Flynn had been in contact on numerous occasions with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., discussing issues of foreign policy and the lifting of sanctions put in place by the Obama administration after a U.S. intelligence agency investigation concluded that Russia had interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Further to that, it was revealed that Flynn had lied about the nature of those conversations to Vice President Mike Pence, who defended Flynn on national television.
Trump lashed out at the intelligence community via Twitter on Wednesday, after a New York Times report on his administration's Russian connections and Flynn's downfall.
The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 15, 2017
Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 15, 2017
Schindler took to the social media platform also to relay further and thus far unestablished allegations that Trump is in collusion with Putin.
Keep going, Don, keep going....I told you how going to war with the spooks would work out. https://t.co/JjdSszFbFP— John Schindler (@20committee) February 15, 2017
BLUF: When the full extent of Trump's collusion with the Kremlin comes out -- incl using RIS to spy on Americans -- people will go to prison— John Schindler (@20committee) February 15, 2017
While this remains unconfirmed, it is Schindler's first assertion that the intelligence community is withholding intel that has been reportedly corroborated by other officials—the WSJ's sources.
The White House, however, is denying it all. A spokesperson told WSJ reporters: "There is nothing that leads us to believe that this is an accurate account of what is actually happening."
More than that, the article quotes a statement by a spokesman for the Office of Director of National Intelligence, reading: "Any suggestion that the U.S. intelligence community is withholding information and not providing the best possible intelligence to the president and his national security team is not true."
Trump's relationship with the intelligence community was already frayed before he took office, following several outbursts in which he accused the spy agencies of trying to undermine the authenticity of his election win when investigations concluded that Russia had in fact been involved in hacking to influence the outcome.
In a rambling speech at the CIA after his inauguration, Trump claimed that the media manufactured his pre-election clash with the intelligence community, a spin on his repeated questioning of the validity of their findings.
As president-elect in December, Trump commented that he did not need daily intelligence briefings and dismissed them as monotonous. This was further underlined by Mother Jones on Thursday, when it reported exclusively on a classified memo in which analysts are asked to keep the president's daily briefing "short and free of nuance."
Already stripped of comprehensive detail, these briefings may be trimmed further as tensions and loose accusations continue to erode what appears to be a fractured relationship between Trump and the intelligence community.

La. BESE President James Garvey Active in the Purchase of 2010 Jeff Parish School Board Race
On June 04, 2016, I wrote a post about an email that Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) president James Garvey sent to the rest of the BESE board especially regarding one of Louisiana state superintendent John White's lawsuits to block public record requests.
At the end of the post, I noted that the real issue is that the public does not trust White because White is "a greasy, fast-tracked 'superintendent' who has an established reputation for narrative mud."
Even as I was writing those words, I was thinking that Garvey is also greasy.
And wouldn't you know, an anonymous commenter noticed that Garvey responded using his personal email and asked me if I were aware of this January 2016 nola.com article regarding a public records request connected to Garvey.
I was not. It is quite a story, and at the end of the article, reporter Danielle Dreilinger attached the actual emails cited in her article.
The article concerns the 2010 Jefferson Parish school board election. It is entitled, "See How Jefferson Business Activists Plotted School Board Takeover."
Here are some excerpts:
Newly released emails that passed through the government account of Lucien Gunter, former executive director of the Jefferson Economic Development Commission, shed new light on the extent to which Gunter and other business activists engaged in extensive campaigning and fundraising for candidates in the pivotal 2010 Jefferson Parish School Board races. …
The names of most of Gunter's email correspondents have been redacted. But it is clear that he worked hand-in-glove with Metairie lawyer Jim Garvey, who is an elected member of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education member and a member of the Committee for a Better Jefferson.
Indeed, Garvey, who used his private work account, emerged as the mastermind of what the business activists called the "Enough Is Enough" Coalition — or, as a white paper the business people wrote called him, the leader of their "Strike Force." The coalition operated under the aegis of the long-dormant Committee for a Better Jefferson, which the participants revived for the purpose, filing updated papers of incorporation with the state. …
The Committee for a Better Jefferson ran the show from the start, according to the emails, seeking and recruiting candidates to run against the incumbents. It had them sign a detailed pledge that included authorizing charter schools and "supporting and encouraging" Teach for America, two initiatives that bypass the conventional school system.
The business activists decided to assign each candidate a mentor. One person coached several candidates on basic talking points early on and "the importance of staying on point to avoid getting sucked into verbal traps." For at least three candidates, the committee arranged for photo sessions and designed campaign logos.
The emails express a sense of ownership. One person wrote, "We need to be aware of and in control of our candidates meetings with incumbents." When one candidate made a public comment about wondering who might help him raise money, Gunter jumped in: "These candidates have been briefed on more than one occasion and that kind of comment is unacceptable," he wrote, and spoke darkly of penalizing the "guilty" party.
[School board member Glenn] Hayes strategized his decision not to run for re-election with Gunter's correspondents. He suggested that he sign up to run, recruit lawyer Bryce Murray to run against him "then halfway through the campaign we should hopefully have some good news about a charter organization looking to move to Jefferson (one that I am affiliated with) (so) for the betterment of the school system and ethics, I am going to drop out," and throw his support to Murray.
"This is not the most 'honest thing' I have ever done in my life, but it is not the most dishonest either," Hayes wrote. "We are at a pivotal point here in Jefferson and all gloves are off." In the end, he decided not to run at all….
Many of the emails concern money: donations, advertising buys, possible New Orleans contributors, budget spreadsheets for candidates. On Aug. 2, Gunter wrote, "I believe it is time to begin writing checks." One correspondent, requesting $2,500 checks from donors for the group's favored candidates, suggested "delivering the check to Lucien at his office."
Some of those donations might exceed the $2,500 legal limit per candidate per election, they hoped. The organizers distributed a pledge form to supporters, which reads in part, "You may wish to contribute more than $2,500. This can be done in the name of your spouse and/or children." Alternatively, "the overage amount can go directly to the Committee of a Better Jefferson," Gunter wrote to a person whose name was redacted.
Garvey was even savvier. "I was wondering if having such large checks sent to candidates could be 'spun' by the opposition as a 'buying' of the candidates," he said; it might be better for each donor to send the contribution as "two checks for $1,000 and one check for $500." That, he said, "would have an added benefit of making each candidate look like they (have) broader support from the community." …
As Gunter wrote in a cheat sheet for a presentation, "Most of the organizations I belong (to) are limited from any involvement in politics or elections, due to their tax-exempt status." In a July email, he shared guidance for the business people to "refute the idea that the (Jefferson Business Council), or Chamber, or JEDCO, or the Jefferson Community Foundation or any other business organization, as organizations, are involved. … If you stay within this message, justice will prevail."
The emails paint a different picture. Not only were the groups involved, but they were so intertwined as to seem functionally identical. "We might want to send some JBC members money to the Jefferson Chamber PAC," Garvey wrote. Similarly, upon receiving a promise of a check, he wrote, "I'll get him to make it out to the Chamber, so they can distribute it to their candidates."
And it wasn't just the Committee for a Better Jefferson. The emails include one from the Jefferson Chamber, in which it said it was "vigorously seeking volunteers" to run for School Board: "The Jefferson Chamber is in a position to lend a significant helping hand in securing the necessary financing and volunteer support for those who are willing to serve." …
Planning a July meeting, the business people discussed how to protect the Jefferson Community Foundation from seeming like it was involved in the race – even though the foundation had authored a report harshly criticizing the school system. Afterward, Barri Bronston, covering the presentation of the report in The Times-Picayune, wrote that "several foundation members suggested a new School Board is not just desirable but essential."
"Lou, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much the writer of the article focused on the upcoming elections," Garvey wrote afterwards. "I think that it significantly helps our project."
They had reason for confidence. Three days before the election, someone emailed Gunter a NOLA.com link, writing gleefully, "Big Lou, the resident idiots on this school board are p—ing down their legs in fear of their little party coming to an end and exposing their ignorance in the process. I hope that they are all sent to pasture Saturday." …
After the election of their chosen candidates, the business people continued to steer matters during the School Board transition. In one email, Gunter advised the newly elected members to answer news media questions with, "It is premature for me to respond to anything until I take office, at which time all the facts will be available."
In an email full of typographical errors to Garvey, Gunter summarized a meeting that laid out a point-by-point entry plan for the new members, who had yet to be sworn in. Pastorek and "BESE," presumably Garvey, would participate in an orientation event; it would be "no violation of the sunshine law as long as no more than 4 of the present (School Board) memers are invited." They would also suggest a preferred president and vice president for the new School Board.
"Give htem some breathing room by telling them we in the business community truat that they will systematically put a plan to implement the major ingredients of their pledge," Gunter wrote, "but you would like a quarterly report to show progress to the people most responsible for thweir election." He repeated, "Advise them the business leaders will stay out of their way."
Here is the text of the pledge that candidates signed in order to receive campaign assistance from Garvey's Committee for a Better Jefferson (CBJ):
Committee For A Better Jefferson's Education Platform
I pledge to vigorously support the following issues
Implementing all viable options for turning around low performing schools, including:
- Participating in the Race to the Top program,
- Nationally recruiting school principals, and
- Issuing RFP's for high quality charter operators to turn around failing schools
Expanding the magnet school system to eliminate the waiting list for qualified students.
Expanding educational options (school choice) of parents through the opening of quality charter schools by:
- Pro-actively soliciting charter proposals,
- Authorizing charter schools using 'Best Practices' standards as proposed by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, and
- Allowing charter schools that meet NACSA standards to locate or co-locate in public school facilities.
Enhancing the ability of the to attract new teachers and principals with diverse experiences and backgrounds to replace retirees and all vacancies by:
- Supporting alternative certification programs for new teachers and principals, and
- Supporting and encouraging the New Leaders for New Schools, the New Teacher Project and Teach for America programs to operate in Jefferson Parish.
Implementing strict rules that will restrict School Board members to creating school system policy only, and that will prohibit School Board members from interfering with the Superintendent's duties of running the day-to-day Operation of the school system.
Implementing sound financial practices that will insure the stability of JPPSS. This would include the consolidation or closing of facilities where warranted and recommended by the Superintendent.
Establishing a performance plan, with annual benchmarks, to get 100% of schools at or above basic, and to have JPPSS ranked in the top 50% of State school systems. This would include moving the 4th grade LEAP scores to the State average in 4 years.
Presenting annual reports that evaluate the financial and academic achievements as they relate to the performance plan.
In the event that a replacement for the current superintendent is needed
- Performing a national search for candidates, and
- Releasing to the public each school board member's scoring, by evaluation category, of all candidates
_______________ __________________
Candidate's Signature Candidate's Printed Name
Another draft of the CBJ platform/candidate pledge can be found near the end of this document cloud (pages 44 and 45). Some language in the second version is stronger, including "actively recruiting the New Teacher Project to operate in Jefferson Parish"; "actively recruiting Teach for America to return to Jefferson," and "actively recruiting New Leaders for New Schools to operate in Jefferson Parish."
Below is the text of the business leader pledge to support "blue ribbon panel" endorsed school board candidates (page 18 of this document cloud):
$4.3 Billion
"Enough is Enough"
You can count on me to join the other business leaders who are pledging $2,500.00 to support first-time candidates for the Jefferson Parish School Board who commit to moving our school system upward. This Board has spent $4.3 billion in the past ten years to get us 64th in this state, "Enough is Enough". Send your pledge to David Andignac.
A blue ribbon selection committee will screen the candidates. David Andignac will contact you and give you the name of the candidate that you should send your check.
You may wish to contribute more than $2,500.00. This can be done in the name of your spouse and/ or children.
I pledge $_________
Signature ____________________
Email Address: _____________________
Only a few pages prior (page 14) is the email exchange in which Lucien Gunter pulls entitled rank when a candidate, Mark Jacobs, talks funding out of turn. Read from bottom up (click to enlarge):
See page 44 of this document cloud for the call for individuals to write their $2,500 campaign checks for the Mark Jacobs Campaign Fund and deliver to… Gunter.
And the August 04, 2010, email directing four individuals to write checks for small amounts for candidate Michael Delesdemier (see page 45 of above document cloud) is reflected in the four contributions dated August 04, 2010, on this Delesdemier campaign finance report. The small contributions sure lend the appearance of "grass roots." Note that the lead contribution (for only $500) is from the Jefferson Chamber.
Here is Garvey's email suggesting breaking a $2,500 donation into increments (page 24 of this document cloud). The subject line casually (flippantly?) reads, "Da candidates":
Guys, While we are on the subject of the checks… we have talked about having the JBC members write $2,500 checks to the various candidates. I was wondering if having such large checks sent to candidates could be "spun" by the opposition as a "buying" of the candidates. Along those lines, would it be better to have each JBC member spread his $2,500 contribution over 3 candidates, in increments of 2 checks for $1,000 and 1 check for $500? It would have an added benefit of making each candidate look like they [have] broader support from the community.
Jim Garvey
Forget "buying." Sure reads like Garvey and his pals were pimping a slate of Jefferson Parish school board candidates.
Garvey is identified as a member of the "Enough is Enough" steering committee on page 10 of this document cloud. Garvey is identified as promoting the "strategy" of creating charter schools on page 12.
On page 17, Jefferson Chamber members are presented with "options" for purchasing a slate of candidates (click to enlarge):
Page 18 notes that "Enough is Enough" is changed on the above "options" to "Committee for a Better Jefferson."
Enough is right.
There you have it, Louisiana: The greasy president of BESE, there to protect the greasy state superintendent.
Keep the public records requests coming, Louisiana.

Amazing tale well told and a scary conspiracy to dupe the public, undermine democratic processes. This sort of scam is probably not unique to your neck of the woods.
LAEducator permalink
If the public at large would just wake up and realize that what is allegedly good for big business is invariably bad for everyone else!
anonymous permalink
As I look back through the trail of TP articles on JEDCO, there's more than enough to skewer this guy, but instead he gets the kid-glove treatment, and we get the pro-business-spin as fact. No questions asked – the new mantra of this paper's new ownership.
This guy is smooth. The auditor reported back to then-Chairman Garvey, who when interviewed failed to mention *he* was not only involved, but pivotal to said email shenanigans, downplaying controversy at every turn:
The auditor's report is also available at that link, with the email blurb on page 60.
Keep in mind, the timing of this coincides with the turmoil of CCSS implementation in the classroom and VAM scaring and stress taking up every waking moment of most classroom teachers and administrators. This is how such foolishness flies under the radar.
And even AFTER all of this, the Times-Picayune had the nerve to endorse him during the 2015 BESE elections! Notice their link to his bio (looks like a regurgitated press release) is totally scrubbed of all unflattering and/or controversial nola.com articles. Six years worth of investigative reporting and FOI back and forth, with no mention. Only this glimpse from Garvey himself: "A lot of the time, it's more effective to control what you want from the inside," he said.
Thank you, Mercedes, for keeping the spotlight on our elected officials.
