If you run a landscaping business, you know that your ability to provide a variety of services is what helps differentiate you from your competition. As a business owner, you want to make sure you have the best equipment possible. It has to perform the toughest jobs all while maximizing your bottom line.
The good news is that your investment in a Cat® brand machine can continue to work for you year-round and at a variety of job sites. That's provided that you have the right landscaping attachments. At Alban, we supply landscaping businesses with quality equipment attachments for all makes and models of any machine type.
Choosing the Right Attachment for Your Needs
The great thing about Cat machinery is the versatility it offers when it comes to tackling different job functions. There are dozens of different equipment attachments available. They can easily transform your equipment to have the functionality you need at any job. But with so many options, how do you know what kind of equipment attachment you need for your machinery?
You may already know exactly what you need, and that likely comes from lessons learned on tough projects. Or, maybe you're looking at making an investment in attachments that will extend your landscaping business into a full-service one offering other seasonal services. For that, you need the right tools. Here are some things to consider when deciding on the right equipment attachments for your Cat machine:
- Do you need to invest in new tools to replace worn-out or outdated ones?
- Will you consider investing in used attachments instead of new ones to keep costs down?
- Are you looking for a unique product that may be difficult to source?
- Are you looking to add seasonal attachments to your inventory so you can operate year-round?
- What types of jobs are you typically up against?
- Where are you operating your business?
- What climate do you operate in?
- What services provide you the most work and benefit?
Considering your answers to these questions will help put you on the right path when it comes to purchasing work tools for your Cat equipment. They are great questions to come prepared to discuss when you visit your local Alban location. For now, let's review the most popular Cat machinery attachments that serve landscaping businesses.
Cat Landscaping Attachments
When you run a landscaping business, you never know what you're up against from one job site to the next. On one job, you might need to clear land where you could use a felling head for cutting trees. This is going to leave you with some difficult stumps to remove, and that's where a stump grinding attachment is invaluable. You might need a delimber to clean up the fallen logs. Then a mulching attachment is perfect for adding value because of the wood waste you'll now be able to use on this site or transport to other landscaping projects.
Attachments Change With the Seasons
Your landscaping conditions change with the season. So should your Cat attachments. Brushing, mowing, felling and grinding are generally spring to fall landscaping tasks. However, you know you need to operate your machines all year to pay the bills. The simple solution for cold winter months is to turn your equipment into snow clearing machines. Fortunately, Cat has a big selection of snow attachments. You can select from any number of specially-designed snow plow blades. Maybe a snow pusher is best suited, or how about getting a snow blower attachment to really throw the snow?
There are so many Cat attachments to select from. You may be wondering what to look for when choosing the right attachment for your landscaping business right now. Here's where Alban experts can really help you. Our online selection of work tool attachments is ready to give you all the information you need to get the right choice. When you have questions, you can contact us online or give our experts a call.
The details on each landscaping attachment are extensive. To help you with picking exactly what attachment you require, we've narrowed these details into a short explanation of what each attachment is capable of and precisely what you should look for. Here's a summary of the most popular and effective Cat landscaping attachments we see each year.
Snow Blowers
In the cold winters of the East Coast, particularly in Maryland and Virginia, snow removal can extend months of service to your landscape equipment. That's if you have the right snow clearing attachments. Many residents and local businesses aren't as prepared for snow removal, especially after major storms, as their northern PA or NY neighbors. This is where your business can play a key role.
Snow blowers are exceptionally effective devices. They're designed to scoop up deep snow with a leading bucket and force it through a spinning auger. This pressurizes the snow and throws it in a set direction.
Snow blowers are perfect for handling large amounts of snow and transferring it long distances. Blowing the snow prevents it from creating localized piles. Blowing is best done in large areas where there are no buildings or sensitive trees to damage. The force from blowing snow can be considerable. Here are the details you need to look for in snow blower attachments:
- Intake size
- Impeller and fan width
- Cutting height
- Chute rotation and direction
- Maximum throw distance
- Auger diameter
- Hydraulic pressure and flow rate
Cat offers you five different snow blower attachments. They range from the small 17 blower to the large capacity SR321 snow blower.
Snow Plows
Often, in urban settings, snow plows are more useful for snow clearing. The advantage to plowing is that you're able to quickly clear large amounts of snow off to one side and carry on. Plows are great for long distances like road and driveway clearing where one pass with a wide plow blade opens up a passage and let's traffic flow through.
Snow plows are excellent for clearing heavy, wet snow. Dry or powdery snow is fine for blowing, but the heavy, dense packed stuff is hard on your blower. Not to worry, though, with a specially designed snow plow blade that's curved and angled to cut through snowy areas, you can easily push it aside. When shopping for a snow plow blade, it is important to consider:
- Overall blade width
- Plowing angle width
- Blade curvature
- Hydraulic angling degrees – right or left of center
- Interface type
- Trip edge height and quantity
- Float degree
- GET and wear edges
It's important to match your snow plow attachment size to your machine's power capacity. Too large a blade on underpowered equipment will work to your detriment rather than advantage. Cat snow plow attachments range from small 6-foot blades up to large 14-foot snow removers.
Snow Pushes
Don't confuse snow pushers with blowers or blades. They're a different design for different conditions. Blowers are excellent for throwing snow across distances and plows are best for passing heavy snow aside. Snow pushers are made to clear areas and pile snow up.
You'll often find snow pusher attachments on machines that are busy clearing parking lots after a heavy snowfall. They're essentially large buckets that scoop snow up where it can be dumped in controllable piles. Snow pushers have a large capacity compared to regular loading buckets. That allows relatively light amounts of snow to be handled in large volume. Be sure to think about these items when buying a snow pusher attachment:
- Standard or sectional design
- Working width
- Bucket capacity – length, width and depth
- Trip edge height
- Rubber or steel trip edges
- Back draft bars
- Interface type
Note that snow pushers aren't classified by capacity, although that's ultimately what you should know. Cat brand snow pushes are rated by their width. The smallest snow pusher attachment is 8 feet across and the largest measures 16 feet. As with snow plow blades, it's important to match a snow pusher size to your machine's power capacity.
Stump Grinders
There was a day when dynamite was the first choice for stubborn stump removal. That has changed due to safety regulations and liability concerns. Now the best way to deal with stumps is with a stump grinder attachment. These tools literally grind a stump to pieces rather than pulling it out or blowing it up.
Stump grinders attach to your machine but still operate with their own motor. What grinder attachment you'll need depends on the particular job. They have the same general characteristics but differ in size and cutting capacity. Look for these details in a stump grinder attachment:
- Motor displacement
- Hydraulic pressure
- Drive shaft torque
- Cutting wheel diameter
- Cutting head height and extension
- Swing range
- Type of teeth – square bolt-on or carbide
- Number of teeth per cutting wheel
Something else to be aware of with stump grinders is the depth below ground they can reach as well as how far above the surface they can start cutting. Check out the Cat brand SG16B and SG18B grinders.
Mowers can be indispensable equipment pieces for a landscape company. They're in high demand in the spring when vegetation is in its fastest growth, but can still be employed full time in the summer and fall. Mower attachments operate on a cutting drum that chews plant material into pulp. Things to consider when researching mower attachments are:
- Drum size
- Drum speed
- Motor type
- Dive system – V belt
- Swinging teeth per drum
- Maximum cutting diameter
- Hydraulic system and type
Cat brand has two mower attachments available. The small mower is our HMF 110 Flail Mower model. Our large model is the HMF 210 Flair Mower.
Nothing beats a brushcutter attachment when it comes to clearing heavy brush on landscape jobs. These independently powered attachments will shear the toughest scrub into mulch in no time. Brushcutters operate on your equipment boom to start high and cut right to ground level. They're the only way to deal with brush situations that a mower can't handle. Details to watch for in brushcutters include:
- Motor displacement
- Cutting diameter
- Cutting tip speed
- Physical size – height, width and length
- Required hydraulics
- Hydraulic flow pressure
Cat brand brushcutters are primarily rated by physical size. The mechanical components are similar, but larger models do your work faster. Choose from a variety of Cat brushcutter models.
Felling Heads & SATCO Directional Felling Heads
For large landscaping jobs where you have a lot of trees to fell safely, there's no replacement for a felling head attachment. Felling heads are much more efficient than chainsaws, and they're a lot safer. Regular felling heads grasp the tree truck and then saw it off at a set height.
SATCO directional felling heads also work on a grasp and cut principle. Their difference is the attachment's ability to let you control which direction the tree will fall. This is advantageous when you want to steer a tree clear of an obstacle or when you need to fell trees in rows. Here's what to look for in felling heads:
- Standard or directional design
- Throat opening
- Cut diameter
- Saw motor size
- Saw speed
- Tilt – full or partial
- Accumulation area
- Height and width
Choose from seven different Cat brand felling heads.
Once your trees are felled, you're going to need a delimber attachment. These tools make quick work of sawing off limbs so you can get your logs in the round. Delimbers work with a combination of saw blades and knives. They're easy to attach and operate efficiently in taking off branches. Watch for these details in a delimber attachment:
- Throat opening
- Saw drive
- Number of knives
- Blade size
- Blade composition
- Chain dynamics
- Chain tension adjustments
- Chain oil capacity and delivery
Cat offers you two delimber attachment models.
Mulching is an important landscape task. Mulch is used for more than a decorative touch. It's important for water and weed control material in beds and around tree bases. Why buy expensive landscape mulch when you can make your own with a mulcher attachment? You also add value to your other attachments by mulching debris from delimbing and brush cutting. Look for these points when choosing a mulcher:
- Motor type
- Drive system
- Drum capacity
- Number of teeth per drum
- Drum speed
- Cutting diameter
- Flow type
- Hydraulic controls
- Hydraulic flow
At Alban CAT, we offer you eight types of mulching attachments starting with the small capacity HM112C Standard Flow up to the big HM418C High Flow XHP Hydraulics mulcher.
Consider using a rake attachment for cleaning up your mess from grinding, felling, delimbing, brush cutting and mulching. We have two types of rakes. One is the industrial grapple rake, and the other is a tined rake. Each has its intended purpose. Look for these details in selecting the right rake for your landscape business:
- Tine design
- Tine size
- Number of times
- Interface connection
- Linkage for B, C & D machines
Tines come in 2, 3 and 4 tine models. The number of tines is important as the more times on a rake attachment, the greater raking power it has. However, you have to match your rake size to your machine's ability to handle it.
General Purpose Buckets
There's no more useful attachment than your bucket. Bucket selection can be overwhelming, though. It seems like there's a bucket designed and available for every unique task. Basic buckets are the smooth-faced and the toothed, ripping bucket but there's more to buckets than that. Here are the main features to account for in buckets:
- Intended purpose
- Volume capacity
- Height, width and length
- Leading edge design
- Available GET attachments
- Steel composition
- Steel thickness
- Changing speed and complexity
- Thumb capability
Visit Alban CAT's bucket selection and check out our dozens of models. There are so many buckets to choose from that a call to one of our service representatives may be in order.
Getting the Most Value for Your Money
Without question, using an attachment on your landscaping machine is going to make your work more efficient. Generally, more efficient work translates into greater profits. However, you need to get the most value for your investment. Selecting the attachment with the right details to suit and complement your machine is important. But so is deciding whether it's in your best interest to buy the attachment or to rent it.
You also have the decision whether you'll get the most value in buying new or used equipment. That'll depend a lot on the amount of use you expect to get from your attachment. New attachments should have a longer life span than used equipment. New, though, comes with a greater price point where used equipment has already absorbed much of its depreciation markdown.
Some used equipment is in remarkably good condition. Much of its condition depends on the previous owner and how well restored the piece has been by the used equipment dealer. You'll find the same issue with rental attachments. Reputable companies like Alban CAT keep their equipment in top shape. We only offer our customers equipment that can get the job done.
The choice of whether to buy new, purchase used or renting landscaping attachments can be a personal one. There are tax implications and pros and cons of each acquisition method, and that may be best to take up with an accountant. Discussing the details of what model and type of attachment to rent or own is best discussed with a professional like the sales and service people at Alban CAT.
The first thing a dealer will ask is whether you intend to use the attachment seasonally. They'll also ask how much service you expect of the equipment during a particular season. That's usually rated in service hours which places wear and tear on the attachment, but it also has return on investment implications.
For instance, if you're pushing snow in VA and MD, you may have periodic use for a snow blower, plow or pusher. You might be best to rent your attachment. If you're grinding a few stumps upstate, maybe renting a grinder or rake is the way to go. Maybe you have a great need for a mulching attachment but can't quite justify the expense of buying new. Here's where you might be able to economize by purchasing a used mulcher and saving some money in depreciation.
Top 5 Most Versatile Tools for Any Job
Landscaping professionals know that the best return on their attachment investments is selecting the most versatile tools for their job. There are certain attachments you'll use more than others. These are the equipment pieces to purchase whether new or used. Less versatile attachments can be rented as required or obtained when your financial situation allows.
Over the years, we have observed what attachments are in high demand. The same pieces surfaced over and over. That's because of their versatility. Here are the five most versatile landscaping equipment attachments:
- Buckets are by far the most versatile attachment. No landscaper can be without a bucket on their machine. Many operators have multiple buckets. They include smooth-edged cleanup buckets, tooth-edged ripping buckets, loading buckets, dumping buckets and trenching buckets.Landscapers also know the value of specific ground engaging tool (GET) attachments for their buckets. GETs include tips like teeth that bolt, pin or weld on. Cat brand GETs hold tighter, change easier and stay sharper than lesser makes. Bucket attachments also include bucket edge protection for sidebars. Just like the dozens of bucket types you can find on our website, you can sort through dozens of GET protectors.
- Mowers get a lot of use during the spring, summer and fall. A mower attachment should be up there on your landscape tool list. Make sure it's sized right for your machine.
- Brushcutters are popular attachments with landscapers. They're used for lot clearing as well as for seasonal maintenance. Consider your options when acquiring a brushcutter. Depending on your anticipated use, you might be surprised in the value of owning a brushcutter.
- Delimbers are irreplaceable if you do a lot of tree felling. Removing limbs or branches is time-consuming if using a chainsaw by hand. It's also dangerous. Save your time and protect your safety by getting a brushcutter.
- Mulchers are in the top five versatile choices because they deserve it. Mulching wood waste lets you clean your site efficiently and turn it into profitable material. How can you argue with that value?

Golden Oldie: Take a step back in time at Montagu Country Hotel
It wasn't on purpose; my intention was to stand in the middle of the quiet road to photograph the orange-tinged mountains that surround the town, but Jo came out of the bookshop and we immediately fell into an easy conversation.
Warm and friendly, Jo featured again the next day at the weekly village market, where I bought a paperback copy of Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom for R20, which turned out to touch me deeply when I read it the following weekend.
And all this leads neatly to the fact the Montagu Book Festival takes place this weekend. It's a good place for the printed word, and we spent a fair amount of time with our noses in our books - at the pool in the weak winter sun, in the small lounge in front of the fire with tea and cheesecake, and snuggled in our beds with the hot water bottles I cleverly had the foresight to pack.
About 180km from Cape Town, Montagu is between Ashton in the Robertson wine valley and Barrydale and smack bang at the beginning of Route 62, which will eventually take you all the way to Port Elizabeth and offers a wonderful alternative to the N2. Its location at the entrance to the Klein Karoo, where it is surrounded by spectacular mountains and rock formations which are popular with climbers, means it has a fairly mild climate, but boy, those overnight temperatures can drop quite dramatically at this time of year.
Famous for its natural hot springs, Montagu was founded on the farm "Uitvlugt" in 1851, and is also an agricultural centre, where orchards and vineyards are in production and herbs are grown. You've heard of Montagu Dried Fruit And Nuts, right? The factory shop is here and the prices are fantastic, so do pop in.
Our home for the weekend was Montagu Country Hotel, built in the art deco style of the 1930s and furnished accordingly. I have never seen so many of those fabulous lounge suites with the big wooden arms and nooks for your drink in one place at one time. There must be at least half a dozen of them, or more, scattered throughout the property.
Room sizes vary from the classic, which have walk-in showers, to luxury, which are bigger and most of which have large separate (en-suite) bathrooms. The honeymoon suite is furnished with original early French mahogany masterpieces, and the African Hut - which stands alone - is also popular with newly-weds with its Jacuzzi and double-spout shower.
Our luxury rooms were reached via a pathway through the pretty garden and courtyard, watched over by a giant Maine Coon kitty with a fine collar of fur. There are two swimming pools for when summer rolls around. All the rooms are individually decorated while remaining in the theme of art deco and general olde worlde, furnished with period pieces and dramatic paintings. In the main hotel building there are two lounges - one large one with a baby grand piano in the corner, and a smaller one, which we claimed as our own on the second night, and cast territorial looks at anyone who dared to enter.
There is an abundance of fireplaces - here as well as in the dining room, which harks back to a bygone era when one would dress for dinner, and a pianist tickles the ivories while you tuck into traditional and hearty fare. We spent much time in front of these blazes, in our slippers and sipping hot chocolate.

We support national police in tactical deployments in the field, aimed at breaking up the criminal networks behind different types of cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes.
Online fraud scams
In a joint operation between INTERPOL and the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission in 2016, police arrested the ringleader of an international criminal network behind thousands of online frauds totaling more than USD 60 million. The network, headed by a Nigerian national known as 'Mike' and involving at least 40 individuals across Nigeria, Malaysia and South Africa, targeted hundreds of victims worldwide with various business e-mail compromise fraud schemes.
Cyber surges
Our 'cyber surge' operations bring investigators together to act on threat information developed with private sector partners. These have included ASEAN (Southeast Asia) in 2017 and the Americas.
This operation combined the expertise of police and private sector to identify command and control servers spreading various types of malware; it led to the discovery of nearly 270 compromised websites, including government portals. A number of phishing website operators were also identified, including one with links to Nigeria. One criminal based in Indonesia selling phishing kits via the Darknet had posted YouTube videos showing customers how to use the illicit software.
Participating countries carried out on-the-ground action against cybercriminal infrastructures in the Americas region based on intelligence provided by INTERPOL. Investigations led to the identification of 26 affected government websites, six hacker groups and several individual hackers, and information on nearly 40 phishing and malware distribution cases concerning 3,700 active cyber threats.

More incorrect nonsense.
If you have a NVQ on your card you are safe!
If you don't then you need to read this. In 2020 CSCS start their smart technology card systems where all the cards will be chipped. CSCS have already stated that they will not accept grandfather rights or AROE cards. They will only issue skills cards for scaffolders with the correct NVQ in place. If you are an older scaff then you need to check your cards with urgency. If you do not act on this immediately you are going to be sold down the river just like the ECITB Scaffs were.
If you are currently working in management you should also check your cards.
CISRS have not made any statements about this for the simple fact that they can hide behind the CSCS once this hits the headlines. When the reality is you have paid for your courses and your right to work. CISRS are very worried behind the scenes that this could in fact cost them loads of money, as you have all been miss-sold training courses previously. If you are in the union then i strongly suggest you use there legal teams to challenge this as this what you pay for.
A recent Scaffolding Industry Magazine has picked up on this and so far it has gone under the radar.
You Need to ACT NOW..... check out the below links!.... ACT URGENTLY!
I contacted Scaffmag about this but because he is sponsored by the NASC and CISRS he didnt want to post anything. Obviously Cashflow must come before the workforce.
More incorrect nonsense.
who are posting these things if they are not correct
Stating A recent Scaffolding Industry Magazine has picked up on this and so far it has gone under the radar is a fairly bold statement, considering its been on the CISRS site for ages - https://www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for...on-withdrawal/
The CPD will cover the NVQ (or lack of) if you are an AROE card holder.
Under the radar, my arse.
Cientos aplicados, seis fue elegido!!!
I'm not out to cause mayhem / panic here Phil and I certainly do not mean it in any way to sound like I am having a go at you because I am not. The CSCS statement is very clear and no where does it state (for cisrs will will accept the 2 day CPD as the alternative). Why are CSCS not stating this?
I have also taken a look on the CISRS website and I cannot find their statement either so could you post me the link please.
where is it definitely defined that the CPD is a accredited as a NVQ alternative in british education and could you post the link to it.
The NVQ is the qualification. The CPD is 2 days of 400 slides smashed at you in 1 day so you only have the mobile tower aspect to undertake and the 50 question test paper on day 2 so your done for dinnertime. I think you will find that the institute for learning only recommends approx 80 slides in a day as the learner will only absorb 1/4 of the information that is issued.
No Comparison in my opinion so how does this justify and quantify. As you are obviously so more superior and qualified than me could you explain this to me in a idiot proof method. I look forward to your in-depth response on explaining it to me.

TaraLee Natural Beauty
The Basics
- I really admire TaraLee Natural Beauty's standards for clean beauty.
- I still have more left over from each sample.
- I really loved the rose mud mask, but I believe both products are wonderful for clearing acne (not so much makeup though).
- Tara Bolin was super kind, understanding, and accommodating, making her so much fun to work with!
- All the ingredients in the products were listed on EWG and had a low hazard rating.
- Tara surprised me by sending me both the full-sized products I asked for when I thought I'd be getting just one (thank you Tara!).
- Each product is super affordable (nothing over $10).
- Purchasing these items at full price would go to a great cause: Supporting home-run green businesses!
- The face wash didn't get all my makeup off, which was a little bit of a downer.
- I noticed the ingredients on the label were the same as the one on Tara's Etsy, but they weren't in the same order - not a big deal, but it made me a bit confused as to how much of each ingredient was in my product.

A secret note from a stranger can be pleasing too
Stranger's secret note is taking over the internet
The most difficult job as described ever is the job of a Mother.A home maker in true sense. If you could recall those tedious days your mom had to face because of your tantrums you would be thankful to her for all her painstaking efforts.
Also all kids are not same and it takes parents a lot to deal with as they grow up. They have to learn new techniques to handle children as they grow.
Train journeys can be tedious with kids
Sammie Welch a single mother had it all covered to set her 3 year old son for a 6 hour long train ride. Rylan was all happy with his favorite things at bay and Sammie wanted the train journey to be less dramatic. Sammie did not realize that admist all their mother son duo activities a stranger was watching them from across the room.
Sammie with Rylan on Good Morning Britain
All Sammy wanted was a peaceful journey for herself and Rylan as well as other fellow passengers keeping her son occupied for the entire journey was all she could think of when she boarded the train.
Together they counted things out of window, read books, played paint has snacks , listened to music and many other things. Rylan as restless as any other kid , behaved fantastic as ever and did not disturb his fellow passengers.
Finally some peace !!
Things worked for Sammie and and Rylan finally fell asleep in her lap.
Little did she realize that a stranger sitting opposite her had stood up to leave. Before leaving the train the man tapped Sammie on her shoulder and handed her a little note and vanished.
Note from the sweetest stranger
Sammie was totally astonished when she found what was on the 5 pound note. It read:
"Have a drink on me. You are a credit to your generation, polite and teaching the little boy good manners".
What was written on the back touched Sammie's heart the most .
"P.S. I have a daughter your age. Someone did the same thing for her once. Hope when she has children, she is as good a mother as you. "

- "Internal Logic" of the Story: Some understanding of this new alternate World/reality (even if it raises more question - later pay-off) and showing and defining, to the audience, each relevant Characters personality-type and believe-able/strong-personal motivations (non-cartoonist). The basic premise has to be believable but not predictable. It can be annoying if its done in an over-indulging/over-done way.
- A character first impression gives important info to the viewer regarding what personality-type they should assume about that character.
2A. Confrontation implies Conflict: Action in order to build-up tension.
2B. Emotional Climax (emotionally build-up reaching the cliffhanger, then release of audience tension)
After all, its the memorable moments created during pressure/failures, as the character is pushed to make his/her choices, that drive the plot forward and not the opposite way around. Its also crucial, for the success of the re-telling of a hero's journey, that the audiences can relate/emphasis when a character as he/she discovers his/her true self.
- "Show don't tell rule" of Exposition (giving dry backstory info to viewers) either though direct action and interesting moments between charismatic characters in which unseeingly the info slips out.

In many cases, the failure of an information system (IS) is due not to technical deficiencies, but to organisational issues such as user resistance or resistance to new working practices engineered by the introduction of the system (Rivard, Lapointe, & Kappos, 2011; Wagner & Newell, 2011). Thus IS failure may be due to a gap between members working values/practices and the implemented IS, or an organisation's inability to clearly recognise how its members different operating values/practices impact IS implementation processes/activities or vice-versa. Thus, many IS implementation studies have adopted organisational culture (OC) theory (e.g. Alavi, Kayworth, & Leidner, 2006; Iivari & Huisman, 2007) to explain how members respond to ISs in their everyday work, and how these responses influence the implementation process.
The aforementioned examples of IS-culture studies suggest that culture at the organisational level is delicate and has a strong influence on how organisations may cope with, and adapt to, organisational issues that emerge during the implementation of an IS. These studies have assumed that organisational groups/members will always have the same perceptions of, and behaviours toward, an implemented IS. However, Reinecke & Bernstein (2013 p. 429) argue, "culture does not produce groups of people with uniform codes of behaviour, but creates groups that share similar thinking to some extent," suggesting that culture is not always homogenous. Therefore, there is a need to address the likelihood of competing cultures, conflicts and opposing IS outcomes arising among organisational subgroups when an IS is implemented (Ravishankar, Pan, & Leidner, 2011). Organisational subgroup members who have different job functions are likely to have different interpretations and attitudes towards an IS in their attempts to develop and use the system (Koch, Leidner, & Gonzalez, 2013; Wagner & Newell, 2011). Thus, a consideration of culture that is limited to the organisational level may be insufficient to understand the outcome of IS implementation (Rivard et al., 2011).
To facilitate richer interpretations of organisational implementations of IS, studies have investigated culture at the subgroup level to explain how IS development and IS use can be impacted by subgroups that are in conflicting relationships with one another (e.g. Ravishankar et al., 2011; Rivard et al., 2011). We argue that considering OC and organisational subcultures as firmly grounded concepts provide nuanced explanations of how members' values, beliefs and practices at the organisational and subgroup levels influence the development and usage of IS. Despite the extant literature, indicating the apparent strengths of adopting the organisational and subgroup perspectives of culture to investigate IS implementations, it remains to be seen, the influence the saliency of specific cultural practices may have on an IS implementation outcome – that is, IS failure or IS success (Rivard et al., 2011). Exploring this would facilitate explanations of how and why members' interpretations and behaviours towards an IS are shaped and may change during implementation processes, and how OC influences implementation outcomes. This view contributes to the emergent view identified by some IS-culture studies that the relationship between culture and IS efforts are continuously evolving and dynamic (e.g. Gallivan & Srite, 2005; Iivari & Iivari, 2011; Leidner, 2010).

Are you seeking an adventure in downtown St. Albans? Maybe you're a new visitor or new community member, or you've been here your whole life and are looking to learn something new! There are the obvious activities, but some hidden gems too…Read on.
Downtown has a lot to offer the community members and visitors through music, arts, activities, shopping, and dining, but have you thought about any of these options to complement the usual suspects?
- Self-Guided Walking Tour
- Painting the Park
- Catch a movie in the local theatre
- Attending one of the many festivals
Self-Guided Walking Tour
Have you taken a walk around Downtown St. Albans lately? Explore the city on a self-guided walking tour and take in the sites. Did you know this city is rich with history and was actively involved in the Civil War? Maybe you recall or have heard of the St. Albans Raid?
Go on, go ahead, and start your walk with a tour of the St. Albans Historical Museum (once a school) – a good place to brush up on the city's history before venturing on. Then stroll down to the city's Main Street, where you might find a bulldog on one of the buildings, or see old signage of ghosts of businesses past. A walk down Main Street offers architectural views of buildings that have been around since the 1800's or so, and the old United States Post Office building with its beautiful pillars stand at the city's edge.
Hop on down Lake Street and see the new Hotel, and the refurbished St. Albans House, as well as the St. Albans Foundry Co., founded in 1840 and while the building is still standing today, but home to a local eatery. The list goes on as the story and originations of each and every building in the Downtown St. Albans area.
What about the railroad history of this town? Now a humble station for freight and passengers, St. Albans was once a bustling rail community seeing more than 200 trains passing in a day! The foundry and other local businesses contributed to the rail industry and distributed goods in all directions. While it has changed considerably, it is the history that made this city, and its founder's names are on buildings and streets all around.
Major fires wrecked the city twice, but the resilient city rose from the ashes and developed better infrastructure to prevent such catastrophes from occurring again. When you are at the museum, you may just find a bit of information about that too.
Stopping by the local bookstore, you can find countless books on the city's history and visit some of the sites integral to the growth of the city.
So go on ahead now and stop by stores and restaurants enjoy what they offer today, but observe their histories of long ago. Feel free to ask the people around town and in the shops what they know – you'll be sure to hear some stories of this community's history.
Paint the Park!
Okay, don't literally paint the park, but I'm thinking maybe a picture of the park. Are you an artist or the creative type? Get out your supplies, your canvas or drawing paper, find yourself a spot in the park, and get to work. No matter the weather, Taylor Park offers a beautiful scene for photographing, painting, or sculpturing. Look in some of the downtown shops for artworks of this area; you might just find a photograph or painting of the Lady's of the Fountain in Taylor Park. In summer, the gardens are in full bloom and offer a floral backdrop to capture the park.
If you are photographing, we love to see your works, and you can share them with us by tagging @DowntownSt.Albans on Facebook or send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Catch a Movie
Again, an abundance of history, The Welden Theatre 3 has seen several reiterations, the building has historical significance too. Located directly next to St. Albans City Hall in the "Collins Block, established in 1895", which can be seen on the exterior of the building. Today, the theatre continues to be family owned and operated as it has since its inception in the 1940's. It offers guests digital screening with three theatres playing current movies at lower prices than many franchise operations in other nearby areas.
Festivals, Festivals, and More Festivals!
In late April, the city is host to the Vermont Maple Festival and puts the region at the center of the Maple Capital of the World. That might be a made-up name but roll with it because the Maple Syrup in this county is some of the best. Haven't tried it? Then you have no idea what you are missing! The Vermont Maple Festival is PACKED with so many things to do in the three days including:
- Antique and craft shows
- Maple syrup contests
- Maple syrup smothered pancake breakfasts
- To die for maple creemees (soft serve)
The Festival of Trees is a spectacular week of events with an evening Gala, fireworks and tree lighting in Taylor Park, a scavenger hunt, stories by Santa, and so much more at the beginning of December kicking off the holiday season.
Winter Blues Arts Festival provides community members, community artists and creatives to come together and teach others their skills and interests, including Open Mic, singing, dancing, nalebinding, and painting demonstrations. Each year the festival workshops and presentations change to offer a wide-range of learning opportunities. Maybe you'll find a new interest.
The Summer Concert Series takes place in Taylor Park every Wednesday evening beginning at 5:30pm with various live bands. Some past performers include The Nobby Reed Project, INCAHOOTS, The Citizens Band, and many more.
Well, now there you have it, some things to do in Downtown St. Albans, but if you are ever looking for more, you can visit Downtown St. Albans website or our Facebook page. Share your ideas for an adventure in Downtown St. Albans on Facebook or email at email@example.com.

People Ration Where They Roam
An analysis of the movement of some 40,000 people suggests most of us frequent only 25 places—and as we sub in new favorites, we drop old ones. Christopher Intagliata reports.
Tally up all your 'regular spots'—places you visit on a weekly basis like restaurants, markets, parks. And what do you get? A new study says that most of us limit our hangouts to some 25 places.
"So every time we adopt a new place, we abandon another one. This is how we reshape our routines." Andrea Baronchelli, a physicist at City, University of London. "So we are actually boring at any point in time. But over the course of time we change the places we are boring in."
Baronchelli and his team analyzed the movements of nearly 40,000 people worldwide, using mostly anonymized location data from the Sony Lifelog app. And they found that—regardless of age, gender, geographic location—as users explored new places, they maintained a steady roster of about 25 regular haunts.
"I think this is really a universal, a deep property of us as humans, of the way we balance this tension between exploration and exploitation."
The researchers did see a link between how active study subjects were socially and the number of spots they frequented. People who were more active had a slightly higher number of regular spots. The scientists estimated social activity by phone calls, texts and Facebook interactions. That finding suggests that our friends could ramp up our exploratory behavior. The results are in the journal Nature Human Behavior. [Laura Alessandretti et al, Evidence for a conserved quantity in human mobility]
The researchers themselves admit that their lunch routine is in keeping with their discovery. "Every day we say we should try something else, and then we say, 'maybe tomorrow.'"
—Christopher Intagliata

In concrete mixing plant, batching is an important job. The general quality of the project is determined by the ingredients. Then, what matters should we pay attention to in the batching operation of concrete mixing stations?
The calibration of the batching unit of the concrete mixing station. We should pay attention to the calibration of batching units in the course of application. For the same batching machine, different standard aggregate and different material door opening have different calibration coefficients. Therefore, when replacing aggregate standards and adjusting material gate opening, calibration coefficients corresponding to the proportioning machine must be calibrated from scratch. Especially in the beginning of application, more attention should be paid to the calibration work of batching machine. Always adhere to the standard aggregate batching machine in the same concrete mixing station batching unit. The difference of aggregate standard will not only affect the fluctuation of mixture gradation, but also seriously affect the function of mixture. Therefore, we should strictly strengthen the stockpile management to avoid the occurrence of mixing and mixing. At the same time, the loader's hand should be carefully operated to avoid mixing.
Before the start of the concrete mixing station, we should to show the alarm. After a few times the outdoor ring ring, and it is concluded that there will be no risk attack. In normal production, emergency can be reported by this method. The mixture ratio and moisture content of the stabilized soil mixture, which is made of the equipment, can be determined by the method of sampling and analysis. Then, according to the results of the analysis, the accuracy of the proportioning machine and the water supply flow can be adjusted again.
When the equipment of concrete mixing station is put into normal operation, it should be equipped with three skilled workers, one on the console and the other two to carry out the operation of equipment, material distribution and supply condition, and to keep the belt machine running at any time to monitor and adjust. Find out questions, deal with them in time, or tell operators to stop.


text: I've talked about the gender politics of his films in a lot of my Tashlin write ups. Here we get maybe the most overt handling of these themes, but still in a very complex/muddy way that makes it not entirely clear what the film is trying to get across. I wish someone would have shown more interest in this side of his work when he was alive so he could have elaborated on it. Right now this film feels down right feminist, but compromised and I want to know if that was studio pressure, intentional, what.

Amidst charges of politicising the armed forces by the opposition in the BJP's campaigns, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor any other NDA leader wanted to politicise armed forces and there was nothing wrong in talking about the political will giving freedom to the forces to take action as they deem fit.
At an informal interactive session with intellectuals, academicians and young thinkers here, she said the opposition had been constantly coming up with the allegation that armed forces were being politicised.
"Nobody wants to politicise the armed forces, not particularly myself or prime minister or anybody from here (government). We dont want to politicise the armed forces, she said.
Sitharaman sought to know whether it was wrong to compare how "weak" the Manmohan Singh-led government was in 2008 post Mumbai attacks and the how "strong" the Modi government was now in 2019 after the Pulwama terror attack by Jaish-e-Mohammed which killed 40 CRPF Jawans in February.
Action was taken after Pulwama because we felt the heat from the people saying Is this India? Is this the government we voted for? Are you incapable of taking action?
"And then the political will, based on sound intelligence information, gives the freedom to the armed forces to take the necessary action as they deemed fit. Is it wrong to say it? That is not politicisation of the armed forces, the Defence Minister asserted.
She asked the people to differentiate between politicisation and talking about the political will.

Setting the Stage
Sienna were falling hard for one another. Our first night together had been magical but, unfortunately, one night was all we would get. We were now left with managing a long-distance relationship and had been communicating non-stop. We talked a lot about our feelings for one another and our dreams. As I shared (will share) in The First 30 Days, we also explored and talked a lot about our fantasies. It seems were both wanting to get those out and share them with another.
It was with great trepidation that I revealed my fantasy about wanting to watch her with a well-hung black man. I never in a million years imagined it would come up so quickly but it did. She was just so sexually curious and wanted to know my innermost fantasies. I felt so close to her and wanted her to know everything…even my darkest fantasies.
We talked on the phone a lot and texted throughout the days. There were often little fantasy vignettes running in the background that we would move in and out of while talking about other things. One such story was Black and White Spa Fantasy. This was the first time we dipped our toes into the interracial cuckolding fantasy to explore what this fantasy might look like for us as a loving couple. One of things I wanted though was to give her a better sense of how my cuckold fantasy looked…free of back and forth dialogue with her.
I just wanted to lay out a version of my fantasy and get a sense for how it sounded to her and if it was something she might be open to experiencing with me down the road. In other words, did she find it exciting to think about being with a well-hung black man while I watched? If the thought was even mildly arousing to her, I knew over time this desire might burn brighter and lead to it actually happening.
It was early in the evening and I let Sienna know I was going to be sending her a sexy story. I asked that she not read it or react until I was done.
Sienna – Baby!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! I feel like a 16yr old 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I remember this reply so well. We were both so excited and our new love was in full bloom. It truly did feel like the world was young again. Everything was brighter and filled with such color and promise.
Big Black Cock – The First Free Flow
I'm drifting back to the massage room before your orgasm (referencing the Black and White Spa Fantasy)…your sexy bottom is near the end of the table. Your legs are spread with your thighs pushed back against your hips. His arms are hooked under your knees as his hands grip the front of your sexy, tone thighs. He is standing at the foot of the table and working his big black cock slowly and deeply inside your tight, gushing pussy. With each deep penetrations, he holds his depth as you squirm pleasurably from the fullness of his manhood. I am to your side and holding you close…
Sienna – Baby……
Michael – You aren't supposed to be reading yet. It may take me a while to capture all the thoughts running through my mind!
Sienna – Ok Love!!!!! XO I'll come back later!!!! I Love You Michael!
Baby, I'm holding you so close and turned on beyond belief! I feel your body moving beneath me as another man fills my Sweetheart so fully. Your eyes are dreamy from the erotic swirl as you look into my eyes while experiencing the intensely pleasurable sensations of his large thick cock. I whisper deeply in your ear, "He feels good doesn't he?" Your lips are parted and your eyes are glazed with pleasure. I am so turned on as I kiss you deeply and slide one hand under your head and into your long, blonde hair. My heart is pounding out of my chest as I touch your face and continue to kiss you. I feel you moaning on my lips each time he pushes in. It is surreal to be kissing you as you moan with pleasure from another man's cock. It is my love for you and your pleasure that makes this so hot for me. I ask again, "He feels good?" You speak in shortened breaths, "Yes…baby…he's… fucking me so good…his cock…feels so good!" I moan with pleasure at your reaction and kiss you, "Sienna, I am crazy about you…I Love You."
I hold you close and WE are lost in our space as he continues to pleasure you. I want you to cum on him…cum on the cock that is fucking you so good…surrender to the sensation and experience this fullness of your sexuality. I am loving and adoring you like never before…wanting you to feel the fullness of your erotic, primal urges. You have all of my love and the purely sexual pleasure of his long, thick black cock. Cum Baby…cum on his manhood! Your back arches as you give yourself to him more fully than before. I can see you letting down your walls and surrendering to the moment. You push against him and savor the sensation of having such a large cock opening you and filling you like never before. At the same time you are grabbing me and holding me like you are fucking me. Our souls are making love as you are being fucked by a long, thick black cock.
You lose control and begin to moan. The heady swirl of sex, passion, and love are all around you as you moan my name while coming all over another man's cock… Your orgasm is long and intense. As it subsides, it becomes clear that he is about to cum. "Baby, I want him to cum inside you. He's fucked my sexy Girl so good!" Tell him you want his cum deep inside you. Sienna, tell him his cock feels so good…tell him Lover. He is pumping harder and deeper as the scene playing out before him is like nothing he has ever experienced. You look at him, "Fuck me! Fuck me harder!!! Your cock feels so good…Fuck me…cum inside me…cum inside me deep…I want to feel you inside me all night! Empty the cum from your big black cock inside my tight little pussy!" This pushes him over the edge. You press your hips up and into him so you can feel every inch of this man deep inside! I am here. I grab your face and hair and kiss you deeply as another man shoots is hot creamy load deep inside you.
You lay there shaking in my arms as his orgasm subsides and his softening cock slips from your sweet pussy. I hold you and reassure you before my mouth follows a downward trail to between your legs. I move between your legs and circle the edges of swollen and flushed lips. His cum is abundant and creamy as it spills heavily from your pussy…dripping along your ass and coming to rest in a creamy pool on the sheet below. I am swept away by moment and work my tongue into your cum-filled pussy. I would never want another man's cum on me but there's something about it being inside you…now part of our experience that beckons me to lick it and scoop it out with my tongue.
Sienna – I'm dying for you! I'm reading this slowly and savoring every moment…OMgosh!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I lick and please my Girl's pussy before moving between your legs. Our eyes are dreamy and filled with the passion and fire OUR moment. I bring my lips to yours as lick and taste the cum of another man from my lips. You comment about how good he tastes as we kiss deeper and deeper. As my cock slips inside you, I feel your wetness intermingled with his cum as you both coat my shaft. He has opened your pussy up wide and deep. I ask the question you knew was coming. "Does it feel different?" You are hesitant and that is part of your beauty. You hold me close and tell me you love me…
I say to you, "Baby, I feel your love in so many ways…love me with the erotic words I want to hear." You look into my eyes, "Yes Baby, it feels very different. Your cock is much smaller, and I can't feel you like I felt him." I kiss you hungrily and am shaking with excitement. My cock grows harder and firmer as I begin to fuck you deeper and deeper. I am beside myself with arousal and fucking my girl hard, like only I can! You are moaning and coaxing me, pushing me over the edge. "That's it Baby, fuck me with your little cock!"
At this point you are almost screaming with pleasure…I can feel your pussy contracting around me…you are once again feeling tight around my full cock! I am giving everything to your my LOVE…my darkest fantasies, all of my love! My eyes are blurred with lust as I thrust wildly in the fullness of the erotic swirl. You press into me as we lock in OUR spot and cum so as one. Covered in sweat and shaking, we fall into one another's arms…so deeply in love. A voice enters our space. The therapists says, "Damn you guys are hot and so in love…amazing! The End
How would she react?
Sienna – I LOVE YOU Michael!!!!!!<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 This is all such a hot rush for me! I've read it over and over again…. It's exhilarating to me! Your words and the descriptive flow in and out of the scene is so beautifully written!!! I Love it… I Love how you've expressed US and the nature of our connectedness!

Ellen Page Has A New Docu-Series: Gaycation
Come February, Ellen Page's new docu-series will air on Viceland. The show details LGBT struggles across the globe. The trailer shows the actress exploring the way different countries and cultures treat their LGBT citizens and communities. Page brings along her best friend, Ian Daniel, for the wild ride.
The show takes the pair to Japan, Jamaica, Brazil, and the US as they document the difficulties LGBT individuals face and the incremental milestones achieved along the way.
Page told BuzzFeed of the people she met while making the series: "It will blow your mind how extraordinary they are."
In the trailer, Page talks about how important it is for society to realize and fully accept that being gay is not a choice. "The amount of people that struggle so much because of the shame they feel, or the fear of being oppressed or killed, why would someone make that choice? Why would someone make that choice?"
Page's friend, Daniel hopes this series will "expand people's minds and their hearts. I don't know if that sounds cheesy but it's just that simple."

Child sexual abuse is one of the most prevalent issues facing children and has some of the most serious and long-term effects on their lives. While parents are often confronted with messages about the dangers of child sexual abuse and molestation, they are given minimal guidance about how to address this highly sensitive subject with their children. This article aims to help parents open up a dialogue with their children so that more serious conversations can take place as needed.
Method 1 of 2:
Talk to Your Child in Age-Appropriate Terms
Method 1 of 2:
1Talk using terms the child understands. When talking to your child about sexuality and sexual abuse, use age-appropriate terms for parts of the body as well as other concepts.
- Teach your child the anatomical names for his or her body parts. Rather than using nicknames or slang, try using accurate language to discuss concerns about inappropriate touching.
- If using anatomical terms makes you uneasy, try teaching your child that "private parts" are those body parts that are covered by underwear or a swimsuit.
2Focus the discussion on "safety" rather than on "abuse."
- Tell your child that you want to have a conversation about safety and his or her body.
- Explain the difference between safe touching (i.e. being examined at the doctor's office) and unsafe touching (i.e. inappropriate tickling or fondling).
- Let your child know that some people may try to touch him or her in inappropriate ways and that if this ever happens, he or she should immediately tell you without fear of getting in trouble.
3Maintain an open dialogue with your child and really emphasize that he or she is never to blame for inappropriate touching.
- Tell your child that it is completely acceptable to say "no" to adults in situations that make him or her feel uncomfortable.
Method 2 of 2:
Talk to Your Child in a Nonjudgmental Way
Method 2 of 2:
1Choose a time and location carefully. Have this conversation with your child at a time when you won't be rushed. Also, hold the discussion in a place where he or she feels comfortable.
- Never ask your child about sexual abuse in front of the abuser.
2Ask your child if anyone has been touching him or her in an unsafe manner or in a way that makes him or her feel uncomfortable.
- Note that asking your child if someone is "hurting" him or her may not lead to the information you are looking for. Because sexual abuse can feel good to the victim, a child may not understand how to answer this question.
3Use a nonjudgmental tone when discussing sexual abuse with your child.
- Reassure him or her that he or she will not get in trouble for anything told to you.
- Remain calm, even if your child comes forward with allegations of sexual abuse. A child may misinterpret your anger toward the abuser as anger toward him or her.
4Explain to your child that it is okay to disclose a secret, even if an adult has made him or her promise not to do so. This is a definite warning, as it is almost never appropriate for anyone to ask a child to keep a secret from their parents. (The only possible exception would be if someone is planning a surprise for the parent, and this is only a temporary secret.) Many abusers rely on a child's willingness to remain silent by telling their victim that what has happened between them is a secret.
5Believe your child - children rarely make false allegations of sexual abuse. If necessary, consult with a trusted professional (i.e. a pediatrician, therapist, or law enforcement officer) who is experienced in handling sexual abuse allegations.
6Follow-up with your child, especially if your suspicions persist but he or she does not reveal sexual abuse. Remind your child that you are always available to talk about his or her safety and that you will do whatever it takes to ensure his or her safety.
7Take sexual abuse allegations seriously. If your child tells you that he or she has been abused, immediately contact local authorities. Do not directly contact the abuser or the institution where the abuse occurred (i.e. school or church).Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionMy 5 year old nephew was molested by my 15 year old nephew. No authorities have been contacted, one side wants to forgive and the other doesn't want the 5 year old to have to relive it in hopes he won't remember. What should we do?KateKatey GirlCommunity AnswerThe most important issue is recognizing that the 15 year old has a problem that cannot be ignored. Your best bet is to contact a counselor who specializes in this field and get their advice. Yes, they are mandated reporters, but the 5 year old will likely never feel safe until this is addressed...and soon!

- Discussing sexual abuse with your child can prove to be extremely challenging; however, maintaining an open dialogue about sexual abuse can be critical in preventing abuse from occurring or continuing.Thanks!
- If you suspect your child may have been the victim of sexual abuse, an open and honest conversation is an essential first step in getting your child the help that he or she needs. Report the abuser to your local child protective services agency and call the National Child Abuse Hotline (USA) at 1-800-4-A-CHILD for additional information about reporting abuse.Thanks!

A solution to Southern California's water needs, especially during record-breaking drought years, is now within reach. It's called the California WaterFix. The plan has been around only about a year, but supplementing Southern California's local supply with water from the north has been going on for decades. The State Water Project first delivered water to Southern California in 1973.
That supply, though, is increasingly scarce because of droughts and environmental concerns for protected species of native fish in the California Delta. "Right now, the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers are running higher than in recent years, but pumping cannot move in tandem because this is an important time for the salmon and smelt which are spawning," says Nancy Vogel, deputy secretary of communications for the California Natural Resources Agency. "If we had pumps in different locations, we'd gain more flexibility to move water into storage for the dry times."
The agency is charged with restoring, protecting and managing the state's resources. "Man and nature can coexist and work together, but that hasn't been the case," notes Brett R. Barbre, a Yorba Linda resident who serves on the boards of the Municipal Water District of Orange County and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. "There has been a lot of time and energy spent over the past 30 years trying to block a fix to the Delta." Orange County relies on water from the SWP and the Colorado River for 40 to 50 percent of its water supply. The MWDOC distributes water to 28 agencies supplying nearly a million households and almost 90,000 businesses.
Typically, about 5.2 million acre-feet of water are pumped from the Delta each year by numerous pumping stations along the length of the California Aqueduct. But in recent years, it's been, on average, 4.7 million and could drop to 3.9 if nothing is done. An acre foot of water will cover a football field 1-foot deep and provide water to about 2 million homes. This reduction has resulted in water restrictions, both for farmers and residents. California WaterFix will create a new collection and transport system. Three new structures south of Sacramento, called intakes, will capture water from the north; state-of-the-art screens will keep fish out of the intakes.
Then the water will travel through two underground pipes into the aqueducts. In addition, the operation of pumps in the southern Delta will be coordinated to "maximize reliability and reduce environmental conflict," according to the MWD, which supplies water to Orange County from the SWP. This new $15-billion system will improve the state's ability to store water for dry years in the many dams that are part of the State Water Project, help Delta fish and other wildlife recover, fix levees that are now mostly made of earth and protect water supplies from natural disasters. If California WaterFix isn't implemented, "our supplies will be less reliable and more expensive," Patterson says. An ongoing OC Water Reliability Study conducted by MWDOC and 30 local agencies found the California WaterFix is critical to OC: without it, the county could face shortages 7 of 10 years.
With the project in place, OC would be solidly reliable nine of 10 years. "One of the public policy challenges is that 99 percent of the people in the state turn on their faucets and water comes out," Barbre notes. "They don't worry about where it came from or what it took to get there." Like Barbre, many believe California WaterFix is the best way to keep that water flowing. It's not too soon for Southern Californians to get involved, water experts say. More information is available at californiawaterfix.com, and the MWD has information on its website.


text: Brand Marketing 10 Hilarious and Touching Ads That Show Why BBDO Was Our U.S. Agency of the Year By Patrick Coffee|December 6, 2015 Share By Patrick Coffee|December 6, 2015 Share From classic hilarity to emotional lifetimes lived in three minutes or less, BBDO's wide spectrum of top-quality work in 2015 is largely what earned the storied shop its status as Adweek's U.S. Agency of the Year. From the Super Bowl all the way into holiday season, the agency's U.S. offices consistently created some of the industry's most compelling and well-crafted work. We've compiled 10 of the ads and campaigns that kept BBDO (and more importantly, its clients) in the national conversation this year: 1Barbie | "Imagine the Possibilities" (BBDO San Francisco) "Imagine the Possibilities" confronted claims that Barbie was an outdated, even sexist relic. Here, Barbie gets back to the heart of the brand: empowering girls to dream big. Can they become archaeologists, veterinarians and soccer coaches? Yes they can. 2Snickers | "The Brady Bunch" (BBDO New York) You've never seen Marcia Brady like this. The alternate identity reveal of the "The Brady Bunch" spot was so successful, even on repeat viewings, that Mars continued its run after the ad's Super Bowl debut. Bonus: In an incredibly clever tie-in with the Super Bowl spot, BBDO gradually evolved an outdoor board that initially showed Marcia and then gradually morphed into Danny Trejo. 3Extra Gum | "The Story of Sarah & Juan" (Energy BBDO) Can a gum ad make you cry? This one might. BBDO's romantic spot for Extra Gum surprised many viewers by being one of the year's most emotion-stirring ads. 4Twix Bites | #TBT (BBDO New York) At times we all feel nostalgic for decades past, but this campaign for Twix reminded us that some relics are best forgotten in the interest of our own health and sanity. 5AT&T | "Close to Home" (BBDO New York) Quite a few ads have warned viewers of the dangers posed by texting, emailing and scrolling while driving. But few have illustrated that risk as sharply as this spot, which detailed a case study in heartbreak and the very simple act that could have prevented it. 6Foot Locker | "It's Really Happening" (BBDO New York) Last time Manny Pacquiao appeared in a Foot Locker ad, the brand had "tricked" him into thinking that he was about to fight Floyd Mayweather. This time, the fight was real—but the ad was still an ad. The campaign didn't help him beat Mayweather, but it did put Foot Locker in the middle of the action, with the brand claiming some credit for finally initiating the long-awaited showdown. 7Snickers | "Parking While Hungry" (BBDO New York) So many things can go wrong when you're hungry. You could fail at parking...or urban design and placard placement. The possibilities are endlessly regrettable, and BBDO helped the brand bring the idea to life in seemingly countless ways throughout the year. This clever outdoor execution won gold at the 2015 Epica Awards. Don't park when you're hungry #EatASNICKERS pic.twitter.com/w2OwZcyru4 — SNICKERS® (@SNICKERS) April 29, 2015 8Pedigree | "The Walk" (BBDO New York) Few expect dog food ads to serve as bridges between people separated by age and culture. But this spot for Pedigree reminded us why pups transcend such personal boundaries with their own brand of unconditional love. 9Wells Fargo | "Learning Sign Language" (BBDO San Francisco) While Wells Fargo certainly wasn't the first brand to prominently feature a gay couple, the bank continued the emerging trend of mainstreaming same-sex couples by portraying them in situations that have little (if anything) to do with their sexuality. The spot sparked backlash from the predictable crowds, vocal praise from many others and more than 1.5 million views on YouTube. 10Snickers | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Back Cover (BBDO New York) The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has become an annual event that (at least in terms of PR) largely eclipses the rest of the magazine's work each year. BBDO and Snickers brilliantly piggy-backed on the iconic issue by creating a back-cover ad that mirrored the cover, this time showing the hangrier side of super modeling. Here's the actual cover: Share http://adweek.it/1XUiJbv copy Adweek Adweek

The game's first quarter started slowly for the Warriors, having lost the coin toss. Five minutes into the first quarter of play saw a touchdown for Mitchell High for six points and a successful kick for the extra point making it 7-0.
Erwin High's first offensive drive saw gains of two first downs and an eventual touchdown, leaving the score tied at seven points. When the Mountaineers took their second turn at offense, a series of missteps led to an interception by Warrior players and another Erwin High touchdown. Their second touchdown was followed by another successful kick, leaving the score at 14-7 in favor of Erwin.
The Warriors managed to eke out another touchdown before the close of the first half but missed the kick, with the score at 20-7.
