Last night, Chris and I stole 2 hours for ourselves. The babysitter came when Greta was already asleep and we slipped away for a much needed date night. It's been a very long time. Definitely months since Chris and I went out on a date, just the two of us. Hence it being blog-worthy. We do most of our eating out as a family, as well as everything else–which we wholesomely refer to as, "family date night." Not the same, let me tell you. We didn't have to pick our restaurant according to the kid's menu, or cut up food in to tiny pieces for the little miss OR, my least favorite, scout out the broom and dust pan to pre-sweep under our table before our server and the rest of the place starts giving us the stink-eye–yes, I do that.

Oh, I'm also dreaming about that Marc by Marc Jacobs skirt! But as I can't afford it either, I saw sort of similar one in Stradivarius: http://www.stradivarius.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/stradivariuses/es/stradivarius/156502/565005/Falda%2Bevase%2Brayas . It's not the same, but I can see a clear inspiration when it comes to colours and the different width of stripes.ReplyDelete

I just love the little birds on it and the colors, but any cute, fun skirt is on my wishlist! Thanks for reading!ReplyDelete

Gen. Walt Natynczyk welcomed the new NORAD commander, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld, who pledged the Americans' full military support during the upcoming G8 and G20 summits in Toronto.
NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defence Command, is a binational military organization established in 1958 by Canada and the U.S. to monitor and defend North American airspace.
NORAD monitors and tracks man-made objects in space and detects, validates and warns of attacks on North America by aircraft, missiles, satellites and space debris.
Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa Monday, Winnefeld told reporters he was interested in accomplishing two things during his tenure.

The Men-an-Tol is a small, but important, collection of Neolithic standing stones located near to the town of Morvah in Cornwall. The term 'Mên-an-Tol' is old Cornish and literally translates as "The Hole Stone". The formation consists of two upright stones with a ring-stone set between them. All the stones are made from local granite and would have been both difficult and time consuming to shape. There is considerable debate whether the ring-stone was manmade or the result of some natural weathering process. If it was fabricated would have taken many hundreds of man hours to carve and must have had a very special significance to the ancient people of the region. It is one of only two such ring-stones ever found in Britain. There is a smaller version near Wigtown in Scotland but this is considerable smaller.
The two pillar stones are both approximately 1.2 metres tall and the ring stone is slightly shorter measuring only 1.1 metres. There are a number of other Neolithic stone monuments in the immediate area which has led archaeologists and historians to suggest that they were all part of a larger stone circle and some point in prehistory. Records show that the stones have been moved at various times over the past 600 years, probably to fit with local legends and folklore beliefs.
Healing Powers
The Men-an-Tol formation is believed to sit at the junction of several important ley lines and has long had the reputation for having magical healing properties. For hundreds of years farmers with back pain would crawl through the ring-stone in the belief that it would cure their condition. A modern back specialist (osteopath) has suggested that the contortions necessary for a sizeable man to squeeze through the hole may have help to realign the spine. Another folk belief is passing a child through the rings stone will cure them of rickets (osteomalacia) but only if the process was repeated nine times.
A local legend holds that if a woman is passed feet first through the Men-an-Tol ring stone seven times during a full moon she will soon fall pregnant. A version of the story states the child will almost certainly be a boy but if it is a girl then she will be exceptionally lovely and have healing powers.
Faerie Guardian
For centuries it's been believed that Mên-an-Tol has a supernatural guardian that protects the stones and sometimes offers magical cures or special gifts. It is supposed to be particularly potent for cleansing curses or removing the spells of evil witches. Some say that the guardian is a Pixie (Piksie) while other claim it is the spirit of an ancient magician (Mage) – possibly even Merlin from the Arthurian tales.
Foretelling the Future
Robert Hunt the researcher and antiquarian recorded that if two brass pins were laid crosswise on top of each other on the ring-stone they would move of their own accord depending on the whether the answer to a question was yes or no.
Background Radiation
There are accounts that paranormal investigators who have examined the Men-an-Tol stones claim that they have significantly higher levels of background radiation than they should. It's fair to point out that other researchers claim there is no such effect. This has led to some debate as to whether the stones may change their background radiation subject to factors such a temperature and time of year.

"Snow Fun"
Big schools are closed while nursery schools open their doors for big or small children to make their winter vacation productive and meaningful. That's it! The first school term is over but the children's crave for fun and excitement did not end. It's winter camp, parents want to keep their children engaged and White Fields Nursery offers a lot of opportunities to help them achieve their goal. Staffs welcomed the children with warm love and care to make them feel that they are not being far away from home. The day started with warm-up exercises and dances, children savoured the nice weather and enjoyed playing in the play area.
After the sumptuous breakfast, little children had blast playing "Save the Bear " race. Skittles, Pollys and Seattles joined hand in hand to save the bear overcoming obstacles to win the game. The highlight of the day was their trip to the winter wonderland as they were amazed at the snow in their pretend play. Dressing up snowman added up to the thrill of this activity. A play is a way children learn about themselves and the world. It might look like just child's play, but children gained skills in different areas of learning.
"Snowflakes Craft"
As they enjoyed the snow, the children were inspired to do their snowflakes craft using cotton balls. A very special way to start a winter camp is to be happy and cheerful.
More "frosty" fun to savor little children, enjoy the winter camp!

No real farming action today, but here's an alternate entry from 2-Oct-2007—never let a perfectly serviceable post go to waste!: On my way to seed saving, I tend to let things go to seed! Here, the secondary shoots in a bed of Early Dividend broccoli have exploded, the tiny green beads turning into a gently rolling sea of miniature flowers on long thin stems. Unfortunately, the eventual seed from this hybrid variety wouldn't be reliable…but it's a step in the right direction! Also going to seed around the field: lettuce, radish, cauliflower… There's some cleaning up to do. :)
Update: As mentioned in the comments below, these little guys are delicious as edible flowers, slightly sweet, tasting mildly of broccoli. We take them to market to offer as a free garnish for salad mix.

Don Groves is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney.
Barbet Schroeder, Tobe Hooper, Michael Winner and Andrei Konchalovsky have agreed to share their experiences in directing movies for Cannon Films in the 1980s for a documentary that will be released theatrically in the U.S. Writer-director Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood) has lined up interviews with about 50 people for Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films. He's also approached Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, the Israeli-born cousins nicknamed the "Go-Go Boys" who bought Cannon in 1979, moved to the U.S. and churned out dozens of mostly cheap, rapidly shot films including Schroeder's Barfly, Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Winner's The Wicked Lady and Konchalovsky's Runaway Train.
Golan and Globus told Hartley they are "interested" in his project but have yet to commit to interviews. He suspects they may be "gun-shy" after Andrew Yule's critical book Hollywood a Go-Go: An Account of the Cannon Phenomenon. Drafthouse Films, the distribution arm of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, acquired U.S. rights to the docu last December from sales agent Celluloid Nightmares. Hartley and executive producers XYZ Films had planned to make the film this year but now aim to start shooting next July after a funding delay.
At the end of this month Hartley is headed to LA to make a separate documentary on Rod Taylor, the Australian-born actor, now 82, who moved to Hollywood in the 1950s and starred in dozens of movies including George Pal's The Time Machine, Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, Sunday in New York and, most recently, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Tentatively titled Pulling No Punches, that docu is being produced by Robert de Young, who made Mad As Hell: Peter Finch, Mother of Rock Lillian Roxon and Tasmanian Devil: The Fast and Furious Life of Errol Flynn.
On November 12 in Melbourne, Hartley begins shooting his first fictional feature, a remake of Richard Franklin's 1978 Australian thriller Patrick, the saga of a comatose hospital patient who uses telekinesis to try to seduce his nurse. The remake produced by Tony Ginnane (who did the original film) stars Charles Dance, Rachel Griffiths and Sharni Vinson. Bankside Films is selling international rights.

What Is An Online Food Ordering System?
Colin Powel observed that 'There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure'. Failing of business is inevitable. There are internal and external factors that make the company fail. We have no control over the external factors, but we have power over the internal elements.
The external factors include; Competition, Social factors, legal factors, economic factors, and technological factors. Technological factors affect business by increasing competition. A restaurant is not exempted from these factors. It suffers from the same challenges.
Many restaurant businesses have embraced the use of online food ordering system software to make it easy for customers to place orders countrywide. The restaurant business is susceptible, competitive and exciting. You need to be unique in your operations by providing the best services. Queuing for food in restaurants and lousy reception by restaurant receptionist drives customers away.
In this article, I am going to take you through how you can overcome these challenges and make them. The use of a restaurant online ordering app saves time and personnel in your restaurant business. The app replaces the waiters thus the restaurant owner can save some money. When returns surpass costs, that is what we call profit. Due to cut-throat competition in the restaurant business, many restaurants have prioritized online food ordering system project. All the resources are channeled there to make sure customers can enjoy full services.
The question remains, what is the online food system? It a process through which food is delivered or been taken out of a restaurant or food vendor through a website or app., Just like the way people order goods online, food is also ordered online. The app allows customers to keep the account to place further orders.
The app gives customers an option to make payments via mobile phone, credit card, PayPal or pay on delivery. This online food ordering documentation will discuss in depth the pros of the system. Restaurant companies have teamed up with e-commerce businesses to make food ordering quicker and accurate. The use of the application requires the restaurant owner to have better delivery systems.
A pickup equipped with food handling facilities is used to deliver the food orders. The order management team should be stand up to address all the orders and solve all customer complaints. Tracking devices should be planted on the delivering vehicles for than e order management teams to observe the movement to update the customers about their order.
Security features such an app where customers can sign electronically and make a complaint if the food they received is not in good condition should be installed on the system.
Restaurants that use online food ordering systems to purchase database and management software and manage the orders themselves. Every business person works hard to cut costs. The system will help in the management of the restaurant and the provision of excellent service to customers. The restaurant can also sign a contract with online food ordering websites that will work on their behave. If the restaurant owner is not interested in the three options, they can decide to offer food and drinks through the restaurant website. Many restaurant managers shy away from using an online food ordering system in their restaurant. They are reluctant. I think they presume the system is complicated and time-consuming. People don't like change. Installing the system may bring friction between the restaurant management and workers. Some of the workers are old and find it hard to learn how to use new software.
Some restaurant owner does not prioritize it because they term it too expensive for nothing. However, for you to make some returns out of the online food ordering system, you must make sure it does not consume the restaurant's profits. The maintenance cost for the software should below.
The use of online food ordering software solves the following challenges that a restaurant is likely to face. Planning – A goal without a plan I just a wish. Not everything we wish to have comes true. You must have an idea. A restaurant has many activities on a typical day. If the manager is not keen, he might end up operating the restaurant at a loss. Customers are knocking on the office door complaining about this and that; some workers are demanding a pay rise; the chef is requesting for better fridge and freezer. The landlord is coming for rent, and the supplier is threatening to take you to court.
This is too much to handle because everything is pressing and requires immediate attention. The use of an online food ordering system enables the manager to plan for the orders made by customers in a day. All the transactions are recorded on the system so he will not have a hard time when carrying out an audit. The restaurant accountant can also detect any irregularities that might arise from the system records all the transactions; the order and the price. If the customer paid via credit card, PayPal or cash, it is recorded.
The competition kicks many businesses out of the market. A restaurant manager should always keep an eye on other restaurants' moves. He should also make sure he outsmarts them. To survive in business, you should be ahead of your immediate competitors. The use of online food ordering app makes sure you have good intimacy with your customers. Customers prefer to be loyal to a restaurant that they can trust. The online food ordering system allows customers to choose the variety of meals they like. They have a choice; all the food is displayed on the menu.
- Marketing is the pillar of any business. Profits are made by massive sales, and immense sales are brought by good marketing. Customers will not know the products a restaurant is offering unless someone convinces them. Marketing does magic. The use of an online food ordering app helps in the marketing of the restaurant. People are using Facebook, what sup, histogram and other social sites daily. If the restaurant has an online system, customers can place orders via the restaurant's Facebook page.
How Online Food Ordering System Works.
The invention is the mother of necessity. Technology is taking the world by storm. You cannot say something cannot happen. Use of online food ordering app in the restaurant is as a result of technological advancement. Someone saw the need for customers to place orders anywhere anytime and worked on it. Businesspeople have no option apart from changing with technology. For those who do not know how to make online orders, I am going to walk you through step by step in this online food ordering documentation.
A customer makes an order.
A customer places an order on the restaurant Website, System or Facebook page. The system offers a wide range of the meal served in the restaurant. The customers browse on the website, reading the details of the food, its ingredients, how it is cooked and the price. He/she places an order for the meal that amazes him/her by clicking the order button on the website. The online food ordering app in the restaurant's system takes the order.
The online order management team can see the order made by the customer in the restaurant system. The system allows them to see all the delivered orders and pending orders. Customers have the option to choose the time they want the order to be delivered thus the management is given time to plan. A customer can provide instructions on what ingredients to be used and how they want it to taste.
Once the customer has placed an order, they can choose the mode of payment they are comfortable with. They can use a SmartCard, PayPal or decide to pay for delivery. Most of the restaurants are working with mobile payment networks to enable customers to pay for their orders via their mobile phones like Mpesa in Kenya.
After the online orders management team reviews the order on the online food ordering app, they start assembling the required ingredients to prepare the food. They liaise with the catering department to make sure all the items are available. The app alerts them early in advance if the ingredients are not available and they cannot prepare the meal and delivery it on time, they sent feedback to the customer informing him they cannot deliver that order but he can choose another meal that they can offer.
The online food ordering system is the best for the restaurant management to plan its activities and in allocating time. If the food ordered will be prepared and be delivered on time, the team will send feedback to the customer confirming the order. The online food ordering team should work closely with the catering department to make sure the customers receive an immediate response.
The chef starts preparing the order instantly. The team dealing with online orders should make sure the whole system is efficient and effective. Customers make the orders because they are hungry or because they know at some point they will be hungry. Food is a basic need, and we cannot postpone basic needs. Medicine for a hungry person is food.
Some online food ordering systems are designed such that, customers can receive an update on the delivery. Customers are given a grace period of an entire 20 minutes to cancel an order. A customer cannot cancel an order at the last minute because it was prepared specifically for him. It will be a loss to the restaurant. If the order is delivered to the customer and he is not happy with it, the food can be returned to the restaurant and be sold to another customer. The restaurant should make sure this does not happen.
The ordering and delivering cycle need people who are serious and ready to work anytime. A customer can make an order even in the middle of the night, and he expects it to be delivered. If the workers are not committed to their work, they will not make the delivery.
For restaurants that want to market their services on Facebook, they can start by creating a restaurant profile. A profile tells more about the restaurant, the number of employees it has, the location of the restaurant and the services offered. The restaurant profile gives details about the meals. Potential customers go through the profile before they choose a meal.
The restaurant profile serves as a marketing tool.
People with seminars and summits request for the profile to review it before deciding if they will hold their workshop in that restaurant. The restaurant profile in the online food ordering system is the mirror to the restaurant. You will not be summoned to be interviewed. People will read the profile and make their decision. Restaurant profile tells customers the restaurant's delivery zones and other specific fees that the customer may be charged. It also gives the procedure of placing an order, the number of orders one can make and if there is any delivery fee.
Always make sure the online food ordering system has an online menu where customers can peruse it to select the dish of their choice. The menu should be strategically positioned where everyone can see it. A click to view button should be below it so that customers can press it and start going over the menu.
Make sure the menu in the online food ordering app is portioned into categories. It should be supported by all devices; mobile phones and laptops. Create food categories on the menu for the natural selection of meals. Put all the snacks in the same category, soft and hard drinks in different groups. The classes will portray an organized business.
The restaurant should make sure the online food ordering system menu is accompanied with pictures. Quality pictures increase sales. They are persuasive to customers and can even cause impulse buying which is an advantage to the restaurant. It creates an appetite for the customers and makes them extra engaged. Bad pictures send customers away from the restaurant; they create a terrible image. An online food ordering app menu can use three kinds of pictures. Theme picture. It should be large and of good quality. It should precisely describe the restaurant. You can choose an image of your restaurant, maybe the reception part or the best charming restaurant side. Category pictures. They are pictures of each food category the restaurant is offering. The category picture is the first thing a customer will see when they open the online food ordering application. The photos should be clear and of high density. Beautiful views tempt customers to extend their orders.
Item picture.
You can choose the restaurant images. This is what the customers will get. Always make sure you don't include a description of a meal you cannot offer.
Write a Beautiful and Bright Description
The description gives a detailed chronology of the dish prepared in the restaurant. Customers view read the dish details of the description part and if they are not convinced they will not place an order. Make sure your dish description is convincing. Do not over exaggerate because the customers will have high expectations of the dish once delivered.
Highlight the unique dishes on the online food ordering system menu. Place the unique dishes on a separate menu. If the unique dishes are charged high than the others., indicate and the reason for the high charge.
The good thing about the online food ordering system is, you can update the menu. It is embarrassing when a customer orders a meal and the price has changed, and you have not indicated on the menu. Make sure the menu is updated daily.
Advantages of Online Food Ordering System
Every step you take in a business has a positive or negative impact. Evolving technology comes with more comfort and ease. The number of restaurants using an online food ordering system is rising tremendously. It is a smart move that has positive impacts on both the restaurant and customers. The system increases interaction between restaurant managers and customers.
It increases convenience since customers order what they want anytime. The online food ordering system has many benefits and advantages to restaurants. They include:
Enhance efficiency
Online food ordering apps make restaurant daily operations more efficient. Long a gone the day's customers used to create an order via telephone. People have taken the restaurant business to another level. The telephone orders made were marred with errors. There was a miscommunication between customers and restaurant workers. The restaurant used to deliver food that was not ordered. The online food ordering system has reduced irregulates and stored confidence.
When customers are satisfied with the deliveries, they keep the restaurant accounts to make further orders. This leads to increased orders per customer and transmutes to increased sales for the restaurant.
Once a customer makes an order online, the restaurant online order team can take time to analyze the request, prepare the necessary ingredients needed to make the dish and deliver it at the right time.
Increase in Sales
An online ordering system gives customers a chance to order what they want. Restaurants that use online food ordering systems have customized their menus in a manner that in case a customer misses the meal they wanted; there is a substitute. The menu can give the customer a suggestion of a dish that is similar to the one they wanted. This will pursue the customer and make an order. They will not walk away because they have missed their favorite meal.
Online food ordering application gives customers time to look at the menu, analyze and scrutinize it. During the reviewing of the menu, the customer may decide to make additional selections. This will lead to massive sales volume which reciprocates to high returns. The goal of every businessperson is to create high returns as much as possible whereas the goal of every customer is to maximize utility.
Positive Customer Service
Customer service is everything in every business. Customers are the bosses and should be treated with a lot of care and respect. Poor handling of one customer can make you lose four customers. A customer trust what he/she is told by his/her colleagues.
If a customer has a bad experience with your restaurant, they may share it with their friends and through social media luring many people away from the restaurant. Some of us search for customer views about a product before we even purchase it. If the response we get is contrary, we will not buy it.
Having an online food ordering system in place makes the employees have full attention on the order made. There is a minimal interruption of the employees by the ringing phones from other customers who want to place orders. Employees can prioritize customer service. The use of online food ordering applications means there will be few calls from customers who wish to inquire about an order or those who want to know whether you receive their order.
Facilitates Business Analytics
Business analytics is essential to businesspeople. It helps them to understand the sales pattern. It keeps a record of the daily transactions. The online food ordering system stores data of every customer thus creating a good relationship between the customers and the restaurant.
Customers respond to the app by carrying out a survey. They try to be honest with the services, the dishes and the way they were handled through the online food ordering system. This will give the restaurant a chance to respond to the customer complains if there any of them and improve where necessary.
During the restaurant promotion moments, the restaurant management can confirm whether the promotion is bringing in any change to the restaurant or not. If it does not have any positive impact, the restaurant management may decide to adjust the advertisements and menus to suit the customer's expectations.
Expand Market Share
The sole option waiting for customers to peep into your restaurant may limit your restaurant's growth. The use of restaurant online ordering applications expands its operations. You can reach a large market simultaneously. The only people who will know the meals offer in your restaurant are those who are geographically situated in that region. The introduction of an online ordering system for business has been a breakthrough to many restaurant owners.
The online food ordering system has expanded market share for many restaurants across the world. It is one of the best business innovations in the world.
Monitoring of the Restaurant Expense
The online food ordering system gives precise information about the cash inflows and cash outflows. Customer's payments can be traced in the system. Therefore, it does not leave room for funds embezzlement.
The system keeps track of the costs incurred during the order preparation whereby the restaurant can compare them with the actual expenses presented by the accountant.
To Sum up…

- Thomas J. Harrington
- Executive Assistant Director - Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- Statement Before the United States Parole Commission Re: United States v. Leonard Peltier (Register # 89637-132)
- Lewisburg, Pennsylvania
- July 28, 2009
I appear today to oppose the parole request of Leonard Peltier, who is serving two consecutive life sentences for the murders of FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. We in the Federal Bureau of Investigation vehemently oppose granting Mr. Peltier parole.
The intentional and vicious attack by Mr. Peltier was not simply a blatant attack on two FBI special agents; it was an attack on law enforcement as a whole—an attack on the rule of law. The inevitable haziness brought on by the passage of time does not diminish the brutality of the crimes or the lifelong torment to the surviving families. Those surviving families extend beyond the Coler and Williams' to the entire FBI family. Moderation or lenience in terms of Mr. Peltier's sentence can only signal disregard and disrespect to the law enforcement community as a whole, and to the families of Special Agents Coler and Williams.
I was in college when Special Agents Coler and Williams were shot and killed. My dad, who was also an FBI special agent, was assigned to the Director's Office and served as a supervisor within the FBI's press office at the time. In that capacity, he handled media inquiries and interview requests for not only information regarding the murders, but the resulting investigation, trial, and conviction of Mr. Peltier. I remember witnessing the toll this horrific act took on my father and his colleagues, and the sorrow they felt. I also remember the pride they felt for Ron Williams and Jack Coler for their courage to stand up against evil, their service and commitment as American patriots, their commitment to the highest ideals of the FBI, and their sacrifice as law enforcement martyrs. I thought to myself, "What kind of person would do such a thing?"
We now know what kind of person would undertake such a callous and ultimately cowardly act. And regardless of the myriad of excuses proffered by Mr. Peltier, his conviction for these cold-blooded executions stands.
The facts of this case have not changed. These same facts formed the basis for Mr. Peltier's conviction, and have been fully set forth in multiple appellate records.
These facts are discussed in some detail in the letter submitted to this commission by the U.S. Attorney's Office of North Dakota, and dated May 29, 2009. As such, they need not be recited in full here. But a few salient points should be made.
During the shootout with Mr. Peltier and his associates, all of whom were members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), Special Agents Coler and Williams were wounded. However, their wounds were not fatal. Mr. Peltier approached these two agents as they lay on the ground, wounded and disabled. Mr. Peltier then shot both agents at point-blank range.
Corroborating evidence confirms this chain of events. During Mr. Peltier's trial, a witness testified that he saw Mr. Peltier standing by the agents' cars, holding an AR-15 gun—the gun used to execute Special Agents Coler and Williams. No other individuals were witnessed holding or shooting that particular gun on that day. Several witnesses testified that the AR-15 was Mr. Peltier's weapon.
A ballistics expert testified that ammunition components recovered from the scene of the crime matched an AR-15 that was recovered from a vehicle operated by other individuals placed at the scene of the crime.
In 1975, Oregon State Police stopped a station wagon and a motor home in which Mr. Peltier was traveling. He again evaded capture during a gun fight and fled to Canada. Upon searching the vehicles, Oregon authorities recovered from the motor home Special Agent Coler's service revolver in a paper bag bearing Mr. Peltier's thumbprint.
As proved during Mr. Peltier's trial, these facts alone justify his conviction and his continued incarceration. But in addition, new evidence further confirming Mr. Peltier's guilt has come to light since his most recent parole hearing—additional evidence that Mr. Peltier himself executed these special agents at point-blank range.
During the 2004 murder trial of Arlo Looking Cloud, an AIM member, for the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, also an AIM member, a witness testified that Mr. Peltier admitted that he shot one of the FBI agents. This witness, Darlene Nichols, is a former AIM member who had associated with Mr. Peltier and other AIM leaders on various occasions.
Ms. Nichols testified that in the fall of 1975, while she was traveling westward from South Dakota in a motor home with Mr. Peltier and several other AIM members, Mr. Peltier began to talk about Agents Coler and Williams. He stated that one of the agents "was begging for his life, but I shot him anyway." Shortly thereafter, the motor home was stopped by the Oregon State Patrol and a gun fight broke out and Mr. Peltier escaped and fled to Canada.
Per federal statute, parole may only be granted where the release of the prisoner would not depreciate the seriousness of his offense or promote disrespect for the law, and where that release would not jeopardize the public welfare. A primary factor in any decision to grant parole rests on a sincere expression of remorse and accountability for the crime for which a prospective parolee was convicted.
To this day, Mr. Peltier refuses to recognize his role in the murders of Special Agents Coler and Williams. He has shown no remorse in the more than three decades he has been imprisoned. Rather, he has distorted the evidence, he has manipulated the media, and he has resorted to lies and half-truths in order to sway public attention from the facts at hand. Time and again, he has appealed his conviction. Time and again, he has requested parole, while continuing to maintain his innocence, or while blaming the government for the circumstances surrounding his conviction. And all to no avail. His conviction, rightly and fairly obtained, still stands, and has withstood multiple appeals to multiple courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Granting Mr. Peltier parole would only serve to minimize his responsibility and depreciate the seriousness of these crimes.
Nor can Mr. Peltier legitimately claim that he poses no threat to society or to the public welfare. This act of brutality was not an isolated incident in Mr. Peltier's history. Mr. Peltier had been charged with attempted murder in Wisconsin in 1972. He jumped bond prior to that trial, and was a fugitive when he murdered Special Agents Coler and Williams. He again fled the scene. In 1975, when the Oregon State Patrol stopped the motor home in which he was riding, he shot at the state trooper and escaped on foot. He then broke into a nearby home and stole a rifle and a vehicle. He was later arrested in Canada in 1976, while in possession of multiple firearms. After he was convicted on the murders of Agents Coler and Williams, Mr. Peltier escaped from a federal prison in 1979, armed himself with a rifle, and shot at prison staff members.
In short, these are not the actions of a citizen who respects and abides by the law. These are not the actions of an innocent or wronged person. These are actions that show a total disregard for the safety of others, and a complete disrespect for the rule of law.
Finally, we cannot forget the lifelong impact of Mr. Peltier's actions on those most affected. The families of Special Agents Coler and Williams have borne pain and loss that few can understand. Ellen Williams lost her only son. Peggy Coler lost her husband and the father of her two young sons—sons who would never know their father apart from the telling of his life and his death. Mr. Peltier's continued appeals, his continued protests of innocence, and his continued excuse that he was the victim of the criminal justice system and of political gamesmanship have only served to stunt the healing process and to further victimize the families of these slain agents.
Jack Coler and Ronald Williams were in the prime of their lives, each just 28 years old. They were dedicated family men and equally dedicated public servants. The facts surrounding their deaths cannot and should not be forgotten or put aside, by the FBI family, by their families, or by the American public.
We must never forget that Mr. Peltier callously and intentionally took the lives of two young men, and took those men from their families and from the FBI. No amount of prison time served can make these families or the law enforcement community whole, particularly given Mr. Peltier's lack of remorse and responsibility.
I know for myself and most of my colleagues, our desire to become FBI special agents and serve the American public was built on the history of the work, legends, and sacrifices of those who have gone before us. The short productive lives and ultimate sacrifice of Jack Coler and Ronald Williams have inspired thousands of FBI special agents and their families. To grant parole to their unrepentant murderer would only inflict more pain and suffering. For these reasons, I and the FBI families respectfully request that Mr. Peltier's request for parole be denied.

Over the summer, while playing at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Bernard Butler and I were invited by The Talkhouse to take part in their 45-minute podcast, in which we simply started talking and then stopped. We covered how we worked together, old Smiths gigs, bootlegging, families, how Bernard feels about being replaced in Suede. Just two men randomly talking.

Christmas Show with Low
I was honoured to be invited to sing with Minnesota band, Low, at one of their two sold-out Christmas shows last night. The event took place at Union Chapel in London. They asked me to come and sing '25th December' - a song I wrote back in 1993. It was a magical evening: candlelit; Christmas tree all lit up; Alan and Mimi's harmonies filling the room. Low played two sets, one full of Christmas songs, and one of their own stuff. Here's Mimi's handwritten setlist.

Clinical Research & Institutional Review Board (IRB)
As part of Aria joining Jefferson, the Aria Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been transitioned to the Jefferson IRB, which will now have oversight of all Aria – Jefferson Health research projects. With this transition, there will be some adjustments in regard to current studies and with any new research proposals at Aria.
The first change is that ALL study investigators must complete CITI program training. Thomas Jefferson University will be the sponsor group in this training. www.citiprogram.org is the link for CITI program training. Attached to this email is a document that explains how to register with the CITI program training.
For existing research under Aria IRB approval, investigators are asked to provide copies of current study documents along with the most recent IRB approval letter and continuing review report. These documents should be emailed to Kim Bell at firstname.lastname@example.com
For all new research proposals, Jefferson IRB documents will be utilized. Those documents along with an abundance of other resources are available on www.jefferson.edu/university/human_research.html. The link to the Jefferson IRB website is also available on the Aria IRB website.
Aria – Jefferson Health will maintain a research presence at our institution. All investigators who are submitting studies for IRB exemption may submit those to Louise Dougherty at firstname.lastname@example.com. As the institutional research representative, I will review studies for exemption status and communicate with investigators directly. Studies that require expedited or full approval, will be submitted to Kim Bell at email@example.com.

A Scots chef has recently launched a new range of cured Scottish salmon at the Royal Highland Show and is already courting interest from USA and Dubai.
Mark Heirs is producing luxury Atlantic-farmed Scottish salmon – dry cured to his own secret recipe – in a mission to promote his passion: the finest cured food.
The new venture, Stirling-based Highland Curing Co, pays homage to the ancient methods of curing with a modern twist of flavours, including gin and cucumber, whisky and beetroot and the classic cure – with five more in development.
As well as demand from Scotland and London, the company has also been speaking to a New York restaurateur and a distributer in Dubai about this new addition to Scotland's larder.
A quarter finalist of the first series of BBC's Masterchef The Professionals in 2008, Mark cut his culinary teeth in the kitchens of One Devonshire Gardens, Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck before becoming head chef at his family-owned Callendar Arms, Falkirk until 2013.
The lightbulb moment for the business came when he saw the level of interest from customers tasting his cured salmon dishes at cooking demonstrations last year.
Said Mark Heirs, chef director of Highland Curing Co: "I was giving away the recipes before it hit me that what people actually wanted to buy was the cured salmon.
"Seeing the demand made me realise there was an opportunity to open people's eyes to the wonders of raw food and its incredible taste and texture on a larger scale.
"We have big international aspirations to spread the word about curing so to already have that interest before we've officially launched is very satisfying.
"Excellent provenance is key, particularly with cured food. To get those incredible flavours, it has to be the best of the best, which is why we use sustainably sourced salmon from the Outer Hebrides through the Scottish Salmon Company.
Added Mark: "After all, Scotland is an international powerhouse for food and Scottish salmon is its biggest export so we just want to get out there and start making a contribution in Scotland's Year of Food and Drink."
How did you get started?
I grew up in the hospitality industry so being a chef was the only career path I ever considered. I've always been very passionate about food and I've been lucky enough to turn that passion into a career.
What's the best piece of business advice you could give?
Walk before you run, get to know your market once you do that, then you can start to push boundaries.
Where would you like to see your business in 5 years time?
I'm hoping in 5 years I will have grown into an international business and cured salmon will have become as recognisable and popular as its counterpart smoked salmon. Short term I'd like to see Highland Curing Co. products stocked in the likes of Harrods or Fortnum & Mason.
I've also very recently purchased a deli, so who knows I may have a small chain of Highland Curing Co. retail outlets of my own.
If you could only cook one of your own recipes, what would it be & why?
My favourite recipe just now is the one which started Highland Curing Co. It's my gin cured salmon with a warm pickled cucumber and wild flower salad. I love the contrast between the hot and cold textures in the dish and its ideal for eating alfresco with something cold, fizzy and french.
If it was my last meal I'd not really want to waste time with small talk, I'd be more concerned about the food. So as long as the person dining with me was a proper foodie that would be good enough for me.
The menu is the easy part, we'd start with something as simple as some of my cured salmon, some beluga and warm blinis. Then it would have to be some Highland Wagyu beef, ideally a nice feather blade cooked long and slow with some nice crispy potatoes cooked in Wagyu fat. I doubt we would have much room left after that for dessert.

A few days ago I posted a group of photos that went viral – generated thousands of hits. I have been passing by the rat housing project daily but only now the credit was posted on the fence. So, I wanted to air this too, especially since its no less interesting than the rest
Also, a new house appeard – I'll try to get a clearer photo when I can get closer (boxes blocked access today)
The writing says: HARD RAT CASE
.One of the former more interesting houses was re-positioned so I was able to take a better shot
But on a sad note, I have to report that the Capitol Hill rat house is gone.

Flow: 11 cms: steady: very low especially in the shallower sections of the river
The Lower Mad is a beautiful, safe, class 2-3 river. The water is fairly deep, all the rapids are easily scouted and seperated by relativly calm water. Popular with beginner-intermediate river runners, it also has a great park-and-play spot at the first rapid at flows above 75 cms.
The Lower is accessed to ways: a day trip from Aumond Bay to Buck Bay, which includes a 45 minute flatwater paddle to the first rapid (after that the rapids are close together). Alternatly, Park-and-Play paddlers often drive to the first rapid (Snake) and park at the hunt camp right next to the river.
Flow Information:
Min: runnable down to 10 cms
Ideal: running: over 35 cms, play: above 60 cms
Max: none. At higher flows many rapids become less technical and fairly washed out. Periodically peaks over 225 in May.
Running: from ice-out, which can be late April/early May at the put-in at Aumond Bay, until freeze up.
Play: stays ice-free all year, but best levels are from April through to late May or early June.
Aumond Bay to Buck Bay
Aumond Bay put-in: from Quadeville, follow Addington Rd. (past the chip truck) 5.1 Km to the end of the pavement. Continue on this logging road 2 Km to a dirt road on the right. Follow this rough road – the worst part has been paved!! – 2.5 Km to the small parking lot at Aumond Bay.
Buck Bay take-out: from the put-in: turn right on the logging road and follow it 6.2 Km to a dirt road on the right. This road ends at the Buck Bay take-out parking lot.
Hass Hole
Turn onto to Bruceton Rd and go 3.4 Km to the fork. Go left on Keller Rd and go 1.9 Km to small bridge. Immediatly after the bridge on the left is a driveway with a mailbox labeled "Clifford Hass". Turn into the drive and follow it to the 2nd house. Stop there and pay to drive the rest of the way into the river. Thread your way through the ATVs, dogs and old cars and follow the track to the hunt camp. Get out. Surf. Smile.
Bruceton Rd from the West : 1.6 Km from the intersection of 28 and 514, just past the pancake house.
Bruceton Rd from the East: take 28 from Denbigh approx 30Km to Bruceton Rd. Bruceton Rd is about 3Km past the bridge over Snake Creek. If you get to the Pancake house, turn around.

Crawford, Susan P. and Walters, Dana, Citizen-Centered Governance: The Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics and the Evolution of CRM in Boston (August 7, 2013). Berkman Center Research Publication No. 17. Available at SSRN.
"Over the last three years, the Boston Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, the innovative, collaborative ethos within City Hall fostered by Mayor Menino and his current chief of staff, Mitchell Weiss, and Boston's launch of a CRM system and its associated Citizens Connect smartphone app have all attracted substantial media attention. In particular, the City of Boston's strategy to put citizen engagement and participation at the center of its efforts, implemented by Chris Osgood and Nigel Jacob as co-chairs of the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, has drawn attention to the potential power of collaboration and technology to transform citizens' connections to their government and to each other. Several global developments have combined to make Boston's collaborative efforts interesting: First, city managers around the world confront shrinking budgets and diminishing trust in the role of government; second, civic entrepreneurs and technology innovators are pressuring local governments to adopt new forms of engagement with citizens; and third, new digital tools are emerging that can help make city services both more visible and more effective. Boston's experience in pursuing partnerships that facilitate opportunities for engaging citizens may provide scalable (and disruptive) lessons for other cities. During the summer of 2013, in anticipation of Mayor Menino's retirement in January 2014, Prof. Susan Crawford and Project Assistant Dana Walters carried out a case study examining the ongoing evolution of the Boston Mayor's Hotline into a platform for civic engagement. We chose this CRM focus because the initial development of the system provides a concrete example of how leaders in government can connect to local partners and citizens. In the course of this research, we interviewed 21 city employees and several of their partners outside government, and gathered data about the use of the system."

You can't really compare the the Storm and the iPhone. They are two different phones for two different people. The iPhone is a multimedia device while BB are mainly enterprise devices. I have used the first 2 storm models and they are not horrible. It's whats expected from a BB OS. It is not touch friendly although they have made improvements. This tablet seems to be very well done. Again don't expect it to be such a multimedia device like the iPad. Unfortunately many people are looking to these smartphones and tablets for their apps which I am assuming is for mostly games. The App Store has had a pretty big head start on the competition so you can't expect them to be on par at this moment. In my opinion I think this tablet will be a success. And don't expect it to be as successful as the iPad. At least not initially. Not to downplay the iPad but Apple products are surrounded with a lot of media hype. Plus they had an already established OS so people knew what to expect from the device. People need to have an open mind and not put down products they haven't tried and especially ones that have yet to be released
Im getting an iPad in a few weeks and to be honest, I would consider getting this instead IF it didn't have the seven inch screen. Everyone claims the iPad as a big iPod Touch well yep your nearly right, with a few other exclusive features. But thats how I like my content - on a large screen. Why buy a big TV? Why don't people say "Don't but that 50" tv because its just a big 32" and there cheaper" I undertand that 7" is large, but not a large enoguh display when I compare it to the iPad.

The Rogues trilogy, published by Write Integrity Press, blends suspense, science fiction, and American history into a saga that offers hope through a rediscovery of heritage. This YA (young adult) dystopian trilogy is available in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.
A Revisionary rewrites the rules. A Rogue breaks them. Which one is she?
Nineteen-year-old Portia Abernathy accepts her Revisionary draft to the Crystal Globe with one goal: earn a Dome seat so she can amend the satellite rules and rescue her brother. Her plan derails when Head Gage Eliab brands her as a suspect in a campus Rogue attack, and in her quest to clear her name, she questions if the vigilante Brotherhood responsible might not be the real villian.
Her shifting loyalties pit her against Luther Danforth, her Court Citizen ally who believes in reform, not revolution. Joining the Brotherhood makes a future with him impossible – and Portia must decide if it's better to rewrite the rules or to break them.
Revolutions run on sacrifice … and blood.
Three months a satellite prisoner, Portia wonders if the Brotherhood has left her to die—until she plunges into the domain of a smuggler contacted by her brother. But her rescue comes with a price tag, and now, she must forfeit her identity to act as a spy. She learns that her enemies want the Dome to approve mass satellite executions, though no one knows why. Worse, they're using her friend Luther, now a Court Citizen intern, to sign the short-term orders. She wants to confide in Luther, but can she still trust him with the company he keeps?
Plagued by shadows and guilt for leaving her protector Gath behind on the satellite, Portia must find a way, not only to rescue him and the other prisoners, but also to destroy the slave camps once and for all.
Three friends. One broken world. One chance to make it right.
Gath survived the satellite explosions, only to encounter one of Felix's plague initiatives. Somehow, he must recover, re-unify what's left of their leadership team—and help them find a reason to hope.
Luther devises a diplomatic distraction to buy Portia time for her international mission and him an opportunity to rescue his scientist-father, tricked into operating Felix's labs. Will he lose them both anyway?
Portia resents that Darius lied about their father, and defying her brother now might secure a much-needed overseas ally. But liberty for all could cost her future with the man she loves and any chance of reuniting her fractured family.

In the past, if a couple wanted to get a divorce, they had only one option: hire a divorce lawyer and go to court. However, over the past ten years, mediation (a form of alternative dispute resolution) has become an increasingly popular alternative. Fighting it out in court can be expensive and takes control out of your hands and puts it in the hands of a judge. With mediation, you and your spouse hire a neutral third party, called a mediator, who sits down with you and attempts to resolve the central issues that need to be decided in your divorce. The mediator does not make decisions for you or your spouse. Rather, it is their job to help you come to your own agreement.
There are many benefits of mediation, including:
An experienced Pennsylvania divorce lawyer can help you determine what the best course of action is for your divorce. However, for most couples, mediation is worth a shot. If at any point during the process you feel that you do not like how things are going, you can always opt to go to court. And even after beginning the divorce litigation, you can always decide to use mediation to resolve some, or all, of the issues on the table.
However, mediation is not for everyone. If your marriage ended because of domestic violence, you may not want to negotiate with your partner. Others find that mediation does not work for them because of some type of communications breakdown and would prefer to have a lawyer communicate with their soon to be ex-partner on their behalf. And if one spouse wants to avoid paying spousal support, they can drag the proceedings out, because a mediator does not have the power to issue a decision or order them to do anything.
Once you have selected a mediator, they may start things off by calling you on the phone to take basic information about you, your marital history, your family, and what issues you are looking to have resolved through the mediation process.
Next, both you and your spouse attend an orientation session where the rules of mediation are explained. For example, you will be instructed not to yell at your spouse during negotiations. This initial session often lasts about two hours and is usually held in an office or conference room. You can decide whether you want lawyers to be present at the sessions.
Next, you and your spouse will attend about three to eight mediation sessions that can last up to two hours. During these sessions, you will review financial documents, take a look at both of your budgets, divide property, and discuss the care of any marital children. In some cases, a mediator will allow children to attend some of the mediation sessions, if it provides a benefit to the child.
At the end, the mediator will draw up a memorandum of understanding that outlines all the issues that have been resolved. This is then sent to your and your spouse's lawyers, who draw up a formal separation agreement based on what you and your spouse have agreed to.
To come to a satisfactory resolution, it is important to remember that you will need to remain open to compromise. You will also need to listen to your spouse and try to understand where they are coming from and how they feel. If you are going through a contentious separation, this can be extremely difficult.
The experienced Chester County divorce lawyers at Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C. can help you make the most of your time during mediation and advise you if and when it would be better to bring your case to court.

2 teen-age girls shot, 1 fatally, in Atlanta suburb
NORCROSS, Ga. One teen-age girl was found shot to death at a suburban soccer park before dawn on Monday and another was seriously wounded.
Police said they did not believe the shootings were random, and that the two girls probably knew their attacker.
"If we thought there was someone out there running amok, wed be the first to warn people. This doesnt appear to be the case here," said police spokesman George Gilson.
Police responding to a 911 call about 3:45 a.m. found 18-year-old Michelle Torrez shot dead near a bicycle and jogging trail. At a nearby concession area, they found 17-year-old Robin Rainey wounded and unconscious. Rainey was hospitalized in serious condition Monday night.
No cars were found near the park, which is surrounded by office parks and commercial areas, police said. There are no subdivisions within a short walking distance of the county-owned park. Gilson would not release details of the 911 call or say who had placed it.
The girls, who were not in school, had been living with friends. Their parents were not sure why they were in the park, Gilson said. Police did not think they had been jogging.
Neighbors in this middle-class suburb say the park is quiet at night and seldom frequented by teens, but on weekends it is packed for soccer games.
"I thought this was such a great community. This just shocked me," said Lori VanBuskirk, a mother of two who has coached a soccer team in the park. "You might expect something like this in other areas but not here, not in Gwinnett County."
At a nearby grocery store, Charman Sykes said her two sons play soccer in the park.
She said violent crime is rare in the area.
Gwinnett County is one of the largest Atlanta suburbs, with about 500,000 residents, many of them living in middle-class subdivisions within 25 miles of downtown. The county had 36 murders in 1999.

I'm overwhelmed by mediocre blog challenges. My biggest flop I got involved with is the Daily Post. Their pingback system is what the whole networking aspect hinges on. Even still, it malfunctions every few days. In fact, currently it doesn't function at all. Their appeal is the fact that when you pingback to the day's challenge you are part of a wall of contributors. I get comments on the days their pingbacks work because people can see my pingback. Not so today. This has happened before so I am not expending energy trying to solve the problem. The bottom line is that if I can't network with other readers, I don't need their clever prompts. I can either make up my own or try some of the overwhelming number of them out there. I do hope WordPress works it out though, I like Daily Post prompts. I like the goals of ROW80 but so far no readers have stopped by and that's the buggest reason I do challenges.
I'm blah about work tomorrow. My students are ready for Summer and they have me in the same malaise. Tomorrow we'll learn about an animal, watch a video about it and then do some curriculum. I did promise them extra PE. Tomorrow is early dismissal but we do have a staff meeting. A lady is coming to talk to us about Lexia, a new program my Principal purchased for us. It could be really cool, especially for low level readers. By that I mean of course, they will increase their level. I really don't know much about it at all. I think I'll call about my car tomorrow. It's still in the body shop. It's insane how long it takes State Farm to do things, These days all I can think about is the beach. That, and finding new and better ways to network my blog among new readers.

A cherry blossom festival will be held for the first time in the central highlands city of Da Lat from January 26 to 28 to introduce the beautiful flowers of the city to tourists and promote local tourism.
The festival will take place in five locations in the hilly resort city, mostly around Tuyen Lam Lake. The lake's surrounding areas are home to more than 35,000 cherry trees, according to Nguyen Xuan Thanh, Head of the festival's Organizing Committee.
Tuyen Lam Lake will host a variety of entertainment and cultural activities during the festival, such as water music performances, a golf tournament, a musical night, a photo exhibition by famous local photographers, and boat trips to admire cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms are also found in the area around Xuan Huong Lake in the city center, the Da Lat Maple tourist area, the Hoa Son Dien Trang tourism site, and streets in the city such as Dong Da, Ba Thang Tu, Ho Tung Mau, Le Dai Hanh, Tran Hung Dao, Pho Duc Chinh, and Tuong Pho.
Cherry blossoms have long been considered a typical flower of Da Lat when spring arrives, "dyeing" the city a beautiful pink. The city therefore decided to organize a biannual cherry blossom festival along with its successful biannual flower festival. A cherry blossom festival was planned for last year but suspended after the flowers failed to bloom due to poor weather.
The city's cherry blossom trees have already begun to bloom this year, with the season lasting from early January to February and encompassing the Tet holiday. A huge number of tourists from far and wide have been flocking to the city to enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Situated 1,500 meters above sea level on the Langbiang Plateau in the southern reaches of the central highlands, Da Lat is endowed by nature with an average annual temperature of 25C and beautiful landscapes surrounded by mountain ranges and forests, especially pine forests. It's decorated with colorful carpets of flowers everywhere, from large fields in valleys to street sidewalks, and is home to over 40 different species of chrysanthemums, 15 species of roses, and about 300 varieties of orchids. It's also known as one of Vietnam's most poetic spots and is charmingly described as the "City of Love", the "City of Thousands of Pine Trees", the "City of Mist", and, most commonly, the "City of Flowers".

I'm Not Making My Two-Year Old Apologize To You
I took my toddler to a drop-in gymnastics play place today. It's basically a free-for-all for the little weebles. They get to run around, jump on trampolines and feel like they're in Nirvana because they don't really have to follow any rules.
So, it's not very surprising that there are tears at a certain point. When you get a bunch of toddlers who aren't really rational yet, and who are tired of going full-tilt on trampolines, there are bound to be a few disagreements.
"It's okay… just come on out!" I smiled at her as she stared at me with a "How could this kid do this to me?" expression on her face. Exiting the immediate area seemed to make sense to her, so she climbed out and we were about to move on.
And that's when the other Mom swooped in.
She positioned her kid squarely in front of me and my daughter, insisted he face us, and then spent a great deal of time explaining to him that when another kid cries, that's a sign that they don't like it. I appreciated her effort and the lesson she was teaching, but her wriggly toddler really just wanted to move on. There were no injuries. All seemed okay. Plus—TRAMPOLINES! They were calling his name.
I stood there awkwardly watching her and her son. I couldn't just turn around and walk away, as much as I wanted to.
"Oh, she's totally fine," I smiled a smile of 'Hey—we've all been there, Mama', in an attempt to make nice. To show her we were in this parenting game together. To show her that I sort of understood the minds of toddlers. They don't know how to fully socialize yet. They struggle with seeing the world from someone else's point of view and understanding their feelings. This kid was just attempting to play with mine. She didn't like it—but he did no harm. Let's move on.
"No. He has to know that he can't do this," she said to me. "You have to apologize right now. Apologize," she said to her son.
Again, I appreciated her effort. But in that moment, I was expected to stand there and make my two-year-old also stand there silently until her kid decided to say sorry. Something that doesn't seem easy for toddlers, because let's face it, two-year-olds don't seem to have an extensive amount of compassion and empathy at their young age. They're still figuring their little worlds out.
My daughter wanted to play. I wanted to let this woman parent on her own—not in front of me. And I certainly didn't want her to expect me to force my kid to do the same thing if the roles were reversed.
Because I'm not going to insist my two-year-old says sorry.
Yes, I absolutely want my kids to grow up to be kind, thoughtful, empathetic people. I teach my 7-year old and 5-year old about it all the time. We've talked about kindness and empathy extensively, we read books about it (side note: Willow Finds a Way is a great one for younger kids!), and we've discussed how they learn about these things at school.
And then my two-year-old turns around and yells in their faces when she doesn't get a toy she wants.
Yes, I try to focus on telling her that we don't yell at others. We're kind to each other because we don't want to hurt their feelings or harm them. But I don't insist she say sorry. Because I know she isn't. And that would just be a lie.
I've seen my two-year-old hit her older sister and then think she can quickly get out of it by saying sorry. The word has no real meaning to her yet. Instead, I want her to know that it's not okay to do those things at all. Not that she can do them as long as she follows it up with an "I'm sowwy!" (no matter how cute her little toddler voice is.)
If you want to insist your kid say sorry—that's absolutely fine by me. I don't care how you parent. I really don't. As long as you also allow me to do it my way.
Because sorry just isn't going to happen with my two-year-old.
