Very friendly people who want the company to grow and succeed.
Flat organization with no career growth. HR issues common. Suggestions for improvement regularly shot down by management who regularly bend or break the rules. Money is wasted on failing divisions and morale is typically low. Dishonest tactics for most business practices.
Reward your hard workers instead of hiring corporate misfits who make six figure salaries and then leave a year later. Spend some resources developing your loyal employees and promote from within. Break up the boy's club mentality and open up the club for others to succeed.

No career growth, flat organization with high paid managers prevent opportunities to move up, no raises, money invested in new ideas and often failed due to poor planning, overpaid managers in failing divisions, underpaid employees in successful divisions.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Quit paying executives to work for one year at the highest salary and then leave. Reward company loyalty and plan your future. Get ahead of the industry curve instead of dragging your feet. Don't be so stingy with employee salaries so you're not scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

They will give unproven talent a chance. They are relatively hands-off so you have the opportunity to develop your skills and projects (opportunity but not necessarily support). There are opportunities to interact with senior management. Promotions are possible (but greater responsibility is not necessarily rewarded.)Cons
PBP is very set in its ways. Original thinking is typically punished until the new employee learns to fit the mold. The company markets very aggressively, leading to complaints such as you can find with an easy Google search. Most employees have given up trying to make sense of management decisions and just follow orders. Many simple tasks become power struggles due to the absence of basic policies and procedures. There is almost no funding for ongoing skills development, especially if it might benefit another employer.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Super-aggressive marketing models are becoming self-defeating. You should reward your employees for finding ways to bring in revenue while treating customers with respect. Many employees bring you their passion and dedication -- despite low salaries -- they deserve better, both in compensation and in their opportunities to thrive.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

Who are we?
Scott Drive is an independent evangelical church affiliated to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC).
Church simply means that we are a group of believers who meet together to worship God through His divine Son, Jesus Christ.
Independent means we run our own affairs – there is no higher human
organisation in charge of us which takes our money or tells us what to do! However, we do believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of our church, and we are under His authority – we are not independent of Him!
We also believe in the inter-dependence of gospel churches, which is one
reason why we belong to an association known as FIEC (see link below) and
work with gospel-centred churches from other denominations in the Peninsula Gospel Partnership.
Evangelical means we believe in the original gospel message that Jesus gave
to his disciples ('evangel' is another word for gospel).
We find the record of this gospel in the Bible, which we believe was inspired by God so that generations after Christ could still receive His message.
The word 'church' has actually got nothing to do with a building, it just means a congregation!
For many centuries after Christ, most churches had no buildings of their own,
and met mostly in homes or hired buildings.
We are fortunate today to own a building in Scott Drive – but the real church
is the people!
The FIEC is a group of about 500 like-minded churches in the UK, with whom we work together, in particular to organise joint events, conferences etc.
Visit our Vision page to read more about what we are about!
We meet at
10.30am each Sunday

New series:
The Age of the
Spirit begins
'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.' (Acts 2:17).
These words were spoken by the apostle Peter (quoting the Old Testament prophet Joel, who lived hundreds of years earlier), on the day
of Pentecost, announcing that the last days, that is, the last phase of human history, had arrived.
We live in that age today, and much nearer to the end of it than Peter!
In this series we will be looking at how this new age was inaugurated in the early chapters of the Book of Acts, and applying what we learn to our own situation, to see how we can fulfil Christ's commission to be his witnesses in Exmouth and East Devon today, relying on the great Gift He has given to us, His own Holy Spirit!

Calcium Based Ceramic Hydrated Calcium Phosphate Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)
Material Description
Synthetic hydroxyapatite is chemically similar to the mineral component of bones and hard tissues in mammals. Hydroxyapatite is one of few materials that are classed as bioactive, which means that it supports osseointegration and bone ingrowth. It is used in orthopaedic, dental and maxillofacial applications.
The chemical nature of hydroxyapatite lends itself to substitution, which means that it is common for non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatites to exist. The most common substitutions are: carbonate, fluoride and chloride and those for hydroxyl groups, while defects can also exist resulting in deficient hydroxyapatites.
The main advantage of hydroxyapatite is the capability to integrate in bone structures and support bone ingrowth, without breaking down or dissolving. Hydroxyapatite is a thermally unstable compound. Depending on its stoichiometry, decomposition temperature varies from 800 to 1200 deg C.
Hydroxyapatite exists in forms such as powders, porous blocks or beads to fill bone defects or voids. Bone defects may arise when large sections of bone have to be removed (e.g. cancer) or when bone augmentations are required (e.g maxillofacial reconstructions or dental applications). The bone filler provides a scaffold and encourages fast filling of the void by naturally forming bone and providing an alternative to bone grafts. The bone filler becomes a part of the bone structure. The healing time is reduced compared to the situation if no bone filler was used (Hydroxyapatite).

SMNsoft NFO Maker 1.0
SMNsoft NFO Maker is a lightweight computer program which you can use to create NFO files in a simple and effort-free manner, without having to worry about any complicated work process.
User-friendly interface
SMNsoft NFO Maker displays a more than comprehensive graphical user interface which should appeal to anyone who wants to use it. It's neat, clean and pretty much self-explanatory. Knowing the absolute basics of what a NFO file is, you'll be able to create one in maybe less than a minute.
Its main window is split into multiple tabs which you have to go through in order to fill in the required information. The best part about it is that it uses a fill-forms approach, meaning that you simply have to write or copy-paste information into the appropriate fields which are conveniently placed.
Edit and insert any kind of information
As mentioned before, SMNsoft NFO Maker follows a certain pattern in which data is appended. From start to finish you get to add the title, choose the ASCII characters you want to use, insert an ASCII image, present the product name, release type and date, size and other details.
If by any chance a specific information field that you need does not exist, SMNsoft NFO Maker allows you to add additional info in neutral text areas. After everything is done, the application enables you to preview how the file looks and if it is satisfactory a final click is all it takes to publish the NFO file.
On a closing note
With the above to consider and a few more things to discover, it's safe to say that if you're looking to create great looking NFO files, then you can definitely give SMNsoft NFO Maker a shot.

It's Just Better With Pickles
- b
- bubbles4me Oct 22, 2008 10:58 PM
Okay I am a bit of a pickle junkie...I am one of those juice drinkers and a shot of tequila chased with a shot of pickle juice is one of my ghetto treats. I am an extra pickle person when it comes to burgers, hot dogs are loaded with dill relish and a WT grilled cheese, (white bread, singles and fried in butter) is not the same to me without a mass of pickle chips sealed inside....my new love is cheese pizza with thinly sliced pickles placed on top. So what is it for you, what just tastes better with the addition of the glorious pickle?
re: ipsedixit
man...that sounds so good. I did fall in love with fried pickles while in the south...wish they had those in LA
re: bubbles4me
I had fried pickles at the Counter in Santa Monica. I've never had them before and they just seemed ok to me, but you might try those and see if they're like those in the South. I'm curious if they're the same.
re: chilihead
You also get the real reason I love Thanksgiving. When everyone else is eating leftover potatoes and stuffing I'm happy to make a sandwich with leftover ham, sharp cheddar, and sliced sweet pickles (leftover from the pickle platter at dinner) on a piece of baguette split open to serve as a "roll." No sandwich press in the family, but a Forman grill works just as well.
re: chilihead
I agree, pickles are very important on a Cuban sandwich. Without them, it's not quite right. It has to have yellow mustard as well.
...but I was under the impression that the cuban (which I have eaten) and medianoche (which I have not eaten) are made as shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_sa...
re: madgreek
That wiki describes both sandwiches as they are prepared in the Tampa area. I spent over 30 years there,so that version remains my bench mark. I lived in Puerto Rico for a bit, and the medianoches I found were prepared the same.
re: meatn3
the wiki-described cubans are the ones i know from long-ago southwest coastal florida. there was so much interaction between there and cuba. my BIL's father took hemingway out on fishing expeditions in the gulf -- they ran out of charlotte harbor into the gulf.
the place in fort myers that served the best cuban sandwiches was the snack house, long gone, now. ybor city set the standard for the very best around!
I love those mini dill pickles and can eat a jar at one sitting.When ever I have a cold and my nose is stuffed up and I can't taste much the cool crunch of a pickle is something that crave. The salty/vinegary brine is good on a sore throat, and goes down better than milky foods.
Also love fried pickles.
To me, any spicy food is better with pickles.
Though it doesn't have to be the normal cucumber pickles. I enjoy a lot of the Asian pickles, like the Korean ones and Japanese ones.
re: swsidejim
Amen! Gate's BBQ in Kansas City has the best pickles with BBQ on earth. I get a side of them and just dip them in the spicy sauce. So amazing...
potato salad. tuna salad.
And no. NOT those disgustingly sweet things - just regular old dill or sour pickle - any of the savory variety.
dill pickle on a reuben sandwich.
extra pickles on my junior whopper.
pickles on ham and cheese.
pickle relish in tuna salad and potato salad.
pickles solo with mayo in white bread sandwich.
pickles in rouladen.
pickles naked.
i am a salty-sour preference person. i'd rather have savory/tart over sweet stuff. hello fellow pickle lovers!
now...indian hot pickle is an entirely different matter. ouch!
Everything is better with pickles! Kimchi of course is a regular standby, can't eat Korean without it. Montreal smoked meat on rye with a large garlicky kosher pickle, pickles and spicy banana peppers on tuna salad sandwiches, pickled marinated italian vegetables on deli meat sandwiches, sour little cornichon with raclette or with duck or rabbit rillettes, sauerkraut in Alsatian choucroute, Chinese pickled vegetables in eggplant Yu Hsing, vinegary diakon and carrots in a bahn mi sandwich, Indian mango or lime or gooseberry pickle with goat curry, pickles reign supreme!
But bubbles4me, here is a small issue, and I think you can relate as you are a wine drinker. Pickles make it hard for me to enjoy my wine. If I am trying to enjoy wine with a dish that has pickles, I often have to drink the wine only after cleansing my palate with a non-pickle item. Sometimes, I feel I have to choose between my love of pickle and my love of wine. Often, the pickle love wins out, and there are many meals where wine is not even opened. If only all my food loves could get along!
re: moh
Absolutely agree, I am often munching on a pickle when a sales rep comes in to taste me on wine and I can feel the pain on their face as NOTHING is going to taste good/right after that. Trust me in all my years of wine drinking and pickle munching I have never found anything that goes....oh, I'll keep looking but for now we are going to have to choose one or the other or at the very least deal with yucky, foul tasting wine for a few minutes after eating our beloved sour friends.
re: bubbles4me
Champagne and sparkling wine goes with everything ... even pickles. If you think about it Champagne is sort of an elegant version of beer using grapes instead ... and beer and pickles are made for each other.
I love pickles, but only dill or sour pickles. Little can match my disappointment when I'm served a tuna salad and it's been made with sweet relish, or when sweet relish is the only option as a topping for a hot dog. I personally don't get the rationale behind sweet pickles.
While I'm a fan of kosher dills, such as Bubbies, for eating out of hand, I really like the Claussen baby dills, minced, for use in tuna salad or tartare sauce.
And I wouldn't enjoy my pate campagne without a side of dijon mustard and cornichon pickles. The brand of cornichons I buy has as an added treat a few pickled pearl onions in the mix -- I save those for use as a garnish in a vodka martini. Yum!
re: DanaB

We most certainly share some sort of dna. I honestly do NOT understand sweet pickles at ALL. Totally gross, and wrong. IMO - of course. How does sugar make tuna fish better?
Ditto for a hot dog? How does dumping sugar on a hot dog make it better?
re: gordeaux
Salty and Sweet I thought was a classic/solid combination of flavers. Now I know it's not.
re: rochfood
I think some people are just wired to be more into sweet flavors and others into bitter/sour. For instance, I don't really like sweet-n-savory meat dishes, like when people use fruit as a relish/sauce for pork/chicken/duck, etc. Also, most desserts are too sweet for me and I far prefer bittersweet chocolate to milk chocolate.
re: DanaB
Of course, then there are the manic eaters like myself that swing back and forth between sweet and salty. It is the contrast I crave I think. Blackout cake, followed by salt and vinegar chips. Then pork in fig sauce, then a cheese plate with dried apricots. Back to homemade marshmallows dipped in chocolate. Then a big salty kosher pickle. Madly swinging...
re: rochfood
Hey, if boiled/canned tuna with sweet pickles is "classic/solid" to you, then have at it! Or if a piece of whipped meat scraps flavored with garlic and salt, then shaped into a tube covered with sweet relish is A-ok, then be my guest.
I'm Just Kidding. ;-)
I know exactly what you are talking about, but in the instances I cited, those flavors are not working harmoniously (again, just IMO.) They are clashing like the titans. Now, something like a mole negro with a subtle hint of cinnamon and chocolate with roasted lamb and mashed potatoes - that's what I would consider a classic/solid combo of (barely) sweet and savory/salty.
kosher beef hot dog, grilled....soft white bun, sharp american cheese, yellow mustard, hot/sweet pickle chips.
At most respectable jewish delis, the bowl of dill pickle chunks makes the wait for my pastrami and chopped liver on rye, acceptable.
I save the empty pickle jars for it's juice. I make a mixture of mayo and sour cream, thin it out with pickle juice, fold in fresh dill and garlic powder...great dip for anything!
My husband and I like dill pickles on taco pie- not sure why he decided to add them but the extra crunch was delicious. We also chop and mix dill pickles and jalapeno peppers for our hot dogs.
In high school, Tuesday was chicken sandwich day. It was the only day that anyone looked forward to the school lunch. Fried chicken breast on a bun with lots of mayo and pickles. This was before my town got a Chik-Fil-A so we thought the school version was delicious.
re: lhb78
Your comment reminded me of one of my favorite guilty pleasures back home in Los Angeles. There's a restaurant that makes ground beef tacos with pickles (billed on the menu as "ground beef and pickle tacos." ;-) The shells are freshly fried to a crisp, the meat is nicely seasoned, and the taco comes only with ground beef, shredded cheddar, dill pickle slices, and a tasty red salsa. While not authentic by any means, they sure are delish! Yum!
I too am a pickle junkie. Have been putting thin sliced pickles, the ones for cheesesteaks or subs, on my pizza since i was a toddler (pop's is an old school pizza man from queens). I love drinking the juice, much to the disgust of my friends. However, i only like sour/dill pickles. Sweet or bread and butter pickles make me gag.
while I can not for the life of me understand anyone who drinks pickle juice...I do love me some pickled anything. But like many on here, not a fan of the sweet pickle varieties. I do not like sweet relish or tartar sauce that is made with sweet relish. I have had deep fried pickles once however, and LOVED them. And can I offer anyone some dill pickle potato chips? mmm
- a burger (and for me that's the veggie variety) is not the same without pickles. A burger just shouldn't have sweet relish on it IMO. When I make burgers at home, I also put some of the following on there;
-pepperoncini peppers....need i say more? From salads to sandwiches to pizza toppings....yum. Other pickled peppers?? yes please !
-olives for sure, have to count here. Those I could sit and eat an entire jar of, just like that. The almond stuffed variety? OMG.
-a favorite potato salad is one that is made with pickled beets, and that is the only way to use them.
-little pickled capers........and little pickled tomatoes, for smoked salmon.
That cheese pizza with pickles sounds mighty good....
re: im_nomad
In this house, drinking pickle juice is the go-to cure for the hiccups! I "discovered" this when I was a child.
re: jill kibler
Speaking of raclette - I went to a special dinner in the Swiss Alps - and they served Cheese fondue. No big surprise there - but I was surprised that one of the things to dunk in was dill pickles! almost blew me away. (and as you can see from the picture - they also offered pineapple as a dipping option.) Very yummy.
I also love making my dirty martinis using dill pickle juice......
re: mintchip
"I also love making my dirty martinis using dill pickle juice......"
That sounds so good! Thanks for the idea.
One of my favorite comfort foodss as a kid was boiled potatoes smashed up with a few pats of melted butter, salt and pepper. A few years ago I was in the mood for them so I boiled up a few spuds. There just happened to be a jar of Kosher dills on the desk so I took one out and cut it up on the plate. I was amazed at how well the pickles complimented the buttery spuds. I now eat this combo on a fairly regular basis.
re: garfish
Try doing a google search for pickle soup - its a creamy potato soup with pickles added. I believe its origins are Polish or German.
re: Mellicita
Many thanks Mallicita. I'll definately give that one a try. The German blood in me tells me I'm gonna realy like it.
I do a cheeseburger meatloaf with pickles cut up in it. Sometimes I add bacon.
I really want to try fried pickles too.
re: SweetPhyl
sweet phyllis, i just added those pickled hot banana pepper slices (mt. olive brand) to my kielbasa and kraut sandwich. JUST what it needed! ;-)
I'm with Moh; I like just about any kind of pickle, but I match them to what I'm eating. I like sweet pickles (and relishes) with hot dogs/burgers/ham salad, or just as an appetizer. Sweet mixed pickles with sharp cheddar and crackers is a great snack. Bread and butter pickles are a nice addition to meat and/or cheese sandwiches, and I still have a guilty love for B&B pickles with - wait for it! - white bread and butter.
Dills go with deli, of course, or just on their own. I like them as a side, but not on, my burgers. Maybe it's because of what we ate as kids, but I far prefer Bick's dills to Strub's, which many people swear by.
Hot pickles - peppers, mixed vegetables, jalapenos - are a great addition to salads, some sandwiches, or as part of an antipasto plate.
Cornichons are absolutely necessary when serving pate, IMHO. Their sharpness is an excellent counterpoint to the creaminess of the pate.
And one pickle I've only had at Carl's Chop House in Detroit - watermelon pickles. I thought those were great!
re: luvsseattle
my friend actually just introduced me to dill pickles with tacos. we had a big taco salad with diced dill pickles, never in a million years would have thought of that. I was open minded. and I really liked it. Loved the crunch it gave!
Pickled green tomatoes with rice 'n gravy (can be gravy from smothered round steak, pork chops, chicken fricassee, roast beef). DELICIOUS, and if no one is looking, I mix the pickled green tomatoes into the rice and gravy.
Crispy gherkins (Polski Wyrob, in particular) with any sandwich.
Tabasco Hot 'n Sweet slices all by themselves.
Tuna salad with chopped sweet pickles.
I am going to have to try some of these.
Mine is here: http://chefsquire.wordpress.com/2008/...

"He's Moving Like a Tremendous Machine!"
My mother and my friend Jim both love horses and horse-racing movies, so they're both happy it's Derby day, and they're both looking forward to Disney's "Secretariat," about one of the greatest horses who ever raced.
This morning, Derby morning, I watched the "Secretariat" trailer for the first time. The movie stars Diane Lane as the horse's owner, John Malkovich as the horse's trainer, and Margo Martindale (who played the American abroad narrating her Paris adventures in horribly accented French, in Alexander Payne's sweet, melancholy vignette in "Paris, je t'aime") as the horse's namer. Good cast. But it looks awful. How do you make drama out of a horse winning the Triple Crown by 31 lengths? ("He's moving like a tremendous machine! Secretariat by 12! Secretariat by 14 lengths at the turn!...") You make it all about the horse's owner.
Hopefully they'll still give us Chic Anderson's great call. October release.
Secretariat by a nose.

Fall Beauty Trends to Try
Stuck in a rut? Revamp your look with the season's biggest beauty hits. Here, no-fail tips from the pros on how to make them work for you.
By Maureen Choi
Back to the Future
Metalheads are making a serious comeback in the form of the futuristic, warrior-helmet hairstyle created by Guido Palau at Alexander McQueen. For a more street-friendly look, take a cue from the Redken stylist who clipped 100 Goody barrettes in each model's hair and create the same blocked-out pattern with fewer pins. Graphic lines also extended into mod makeup choices with uniquely placed eyeliner at Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, and DKNY. "Eyeliner painted on way above the lashline makes it a little bit rock chick and totally unusual," says Maybelline New York makeup artist Charlotte Willer at DKNY.
MC RECOMMENDS: L'Oréal Paris Double Extend Eye Illuminator Eyeliner in Black Crystal, $9. Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Eye Illuminator, $15. Dior Velvet Eyes, $55.

We blame 'Cheryl Cries' on our X Factor bingo card but we needed to revisit the moment Alexandra won on YouTube yesterday to remind ourselves just how the momentous occasion unfolded. It was - as we said (oh about six times) on Saturday night - amazing. We love how Alex still managed to have some (oceans, in fact) tears left after her (slightly embarrassing?) duet with Beyoncé where she just fell apart. We'd like to say her singing hardly any of the song because she was in such shock was sweet, but we kinda felt for Beyoncé as Alex clung to her more desperately than Eggnog did to Diana. Anyway, we deviate. Back to the moment of truth. We loved... JB/Aston/Marvin/Ortise (ten weeks in and we still don't know who's who) making some sort of Martin Luther King speech: 'Because of this moment others have hope - victory after victory'... Alex's foundation just melting down her face (though what was that mascara?)... Alex snatching the single out of Dermot's hand... Cheryl swinging her fist in a move that it looks like she learnt from Ashley Cole's football 'fans'... The lights going down as Dermot shoved Alex (still sobbing) on to the stage to sing like some pushy mother... Simon Cowell all over Cheryl; That 'I'm very proud of you kid' wink... And the final line: 'I know this show is not everybody's cup of tea but for everyone who has watched it, voted for it, written about it thank you very much.' Er, trying to launch some sort of political career, Simon?

Developing Healthy Friendships
"Every time I see him on the playground, he's playing by himself. He seems happy, but I'm worried that he doesn't have any friends. When I ask him why he doesn't play with the other children, he says he would rather play by himself." –Tyden's father
"My daughter is very rude and bossy to her friends. Several mothers have called to tell me that my daughter was verbally abusive to their child. Her preschool teacher has also told me that her bossiness is a problem in the classroom. I have talked to her many times about her rude behavior, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I am afraid that if this continues, she won't have any friends." –Janet's mother
"We recently moved to a new neighborhood and my daughter is having trouble fitting in. In fact, the children tease her constantly. Lately, she won't even go outside in her own yard when the neighborhood children are out playing. It breaks my heart because she had so many great friends in our previous neighborhood." –Lisa's mother
Any parent who has experienced the joy of a true friend wants their child to have similar experiences of their own. Likewise, parents who have experienced the loneliness and isolation associated with the lack of friendship also want to protect their child from such feelings.
The Value of "Good" Friends
Healthy friendships help children grow emotionally and socially. According to Kevin Rowe, family therapist, "The value of a friend is universal throughout life. It is the relationships with others that make us rich. Through true friendships, we take off our masks and learn to be open and honest with our feelings." Some of the most important lessons in life are learned through the process of making friends, growing closer as friends, and even losing friends.
Feeling accepted and included is a natural human need. However, the degree of this need varies with each individual's personality. Children who are more extroverted tend to have a greater need for other's attention, approval, and acceptance, and will seek it from many. Others who are more introverted tend to be content with gaining approval and acceptance from an occasional close friend. It is likely that your child's friendships reflect his or her individual personality.
Regardless of personality, a close friend can be a lifeline of support to your child through the ups and downs of life. A trusted friend can "be there" for your child when you can't be. T. Berry Brazelton once said, "A child without a friend is a poor child indeed."
Ways to Encourage Friendship
It is important that children have healthy friendships when they are young because this sets the groundwork for building positive relationships later in life. But how do parents guide their child toward healthy friendships while allowing them the freedom to learn important lessons from both the "good" friends as well as the "bad" ones? Here are a few tips:
- Teach your child the qualities of being a good friend. The most effective way to teach a child how to be a good friend is to be a positive role model. When your child watches you make sacrifices for your friends, spend quality time with them, and remain loyal through difficult times, they will learn that these are the expected qualities of a friend. However, if children hear their parents criticizing their own friends, canceling plans with them, and distancing themselves when their friends experience "messy" situations, such as a job loss, divorce, etc, they will demonstrate similar behavior with their friends.
- Listen and talk to your children about their friends. Let your children know that you are sincerely interested in their friendships. By establishing a pattern of open communication when your child is young, they will be more apt to come to you when they want to share something great that they have experienced with a friend, or when they have a problem with a friend.
- Listen carefully and keep an open mind. You will learn more about your child as they relate to others, and your child will learn a great deal about himself. This discovery can be enlightening, encouraging, humorous, frustrating, and sometimes painful for both you and your child. The important thing is that you allow your child the freedom to talk openly about his friends without a judgmental or critical response.
- Ask your child questions. Examples include "What do you enjoy about being with your new friend?" or "How did you feel when she said that to you?" Encourage your child to think independently, while showing him or her that you are sincerely interested.
- Be available when intervention is needed. Sometimes it is necessary to intervene. But knowing when and how can be difficult. When someone has hurt your child, either emotionally or physically, it is natural to want to step in and retaliate. However, this approach is not usually the best long-term solution. Character is developed as children learn to confront these battles on their own. You can encourage your child to handle their interpersonal conflicts on their own, while still letting them know you are there to support them. Begin by talking to your child about how they want to handle the problem. Discuss choices and possible consequences. Finally, assure them that you are on their side, and you are willing to intervene if they need you.
Shy, Bossy, or New-Kid-on-the-Block Problems
To Tyden's father: Relax. If he appears to be content and happy, he probably is. His lack of interaction with others on the playground may just be a reflection of his more introverted personality. Be careful that you don't pass your concerns on to him about not playing with other children. You may ask him if he would like to have a friend over to play at his house. This could help foster the development of a friendship, without the pressure of lots of other children.
To Janet's mother: "Bossiness" is often a reflection of confidence and leadership. However, it obviously causes problems in interpersonal relationships. Listen to her conversations with others, and then later repeat back to her what she said, including voice tone, facial expression, etc. But direct the command toward her. Then ask her what she thinks about being spoken to in that way. An "on the spot" approach would be to ask her to repeat what she said in a kind way. If the problem continues, explain to her ahead of time that her play-time with friends will end immediately if she is disrespectful or treats them rudely. Then, be sure to follow through. If she has an extrovert personality, this will be a consequence that will be effective in modifying her behavior.
To Lisa's mother: Being the "new kid" in an existing neighborhood is tough. Encourage her to talk about how she feels and let her know you understand. Allow her to keep in touch with old friends via letters, phone calls, or e-mail. This will help her feel connected to friends until she makes new ones. Look for activities in the community or at school that are just beginning that interest her. Children seem to be more accepting of others when they are all "new." Finally, assure her that it will take time and a consistent effort on her part to make new friends.
Parents have the greatest influence on a child's development during the early years, but peers have a significant influence later in life. Don't underestimate the value of guiding your child toward good, loyal friends.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Don't blame me if "Honky Tonk" didn't place in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs" thingI wrote it in at No. 1, parts one and two please, because though Clifford Scott's tenor made two the biggest r&b instrumental ever, it was one that I absorbed for an hour on the living-room floor one gray, life-changing day in 1956. Over simple drums, fat discrepant handclaps, and eventually some bass, guitarist Billy Butler states and then embellishesin a spare, perfect three-chorus solo competing axmen soon learned verbatimthe blues elemental best designated the "Honky Tonk" riff. Then comes one long climax, Scott spilling and shouting and spluttering and rejoicing till his sax finally recaps the theme so everybody can get loud and go homeeven leader Doggett, an organist by trade.
As near as can be determined, "Honky Tonk" is the only song ever covered by both James Brown, a loyal fan of his King labelmate, and the Beach Boys. There are many Doggett repackages for sale, but this one sequences the two parts consecutively, albeit at tracks six and seven. Follow-ups "Slow Walk" and "Ram-Bunk-Shush" are included. Also 21 other titles.

A Glittery Cast's Cultural Exchange
By JAMES R. OESTREICH
Published: June 10, 2009
After two relatively subdued programs at Alice Tully Hall last weekend, the Silk Road Project, celebrating its 10th anniversary and Lincoln Center's 50th, pulled out all the stops on Tuesday evening in a free concert at the Damrosch Park band shell. Lincoln Center estimates that 3,500 listeners braved the threatening weather, which in the end produced only a few late sprinkles, and the event was telecast as part of the PBS series "Live From Lincoln Center."
Much of the interest undoubtedly stemmed from the star power of the cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the artistic director of the Silk Road Project, a performing and educational enterprise devoted to musical globalization and named for the ancient trade route between Eastern Asia and Western Europe. But the beauty of the project is that it has from the start attracted international performers whose musical virtuosity and personal charisma rival those of Mr. Ma, who often takes a back seat.
Such performers abounded on Tuesday. In addition to the already glittery weekend cast - Wu Man, Wu Tong, Kojiro Umezaki, Dong-Won Kim, Sandeep Das, Alim Qasimov and Fargana Qasimova - Kayhan Kalhor, the Iranian master of the kamancheh, a Persian string instrument with a wiry timbre, performed and led his "Blue as the Turquoise Night of Neyshabur" (2000), one of the first and most enduring works composed for the project. And Cristina Pato, a flamboyant Galician bagpiper, energized raucous music from Osvaldo Golijov's "Air to Air" (2006), which was largely inspired by her first encounter with the project, in a workshop.
She was challenged in the Golijov by Wu Tong's lively squawking on the sheng (Chinese mouth organ complete with pipes). Wu Tong also revealed his versatility, first playing a bawu (Chinese bamboo flute) in the opening "Silk Road Suite," with Mr. Umezaki on shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) and Mr. Kim, a Korean drummer and vocalist. Then Wu Tong sang a fetching Chinese love song by Zhao Lin, accompanied by Mr. Ma.
Wu Man brought her familiar, astounding virtuosity on pipa (Chinese lute) to a solo number in the suite. Mr. Das, playing tabla (Indian drums), led a battery of percussionists in his "Shristi" (2006), based on a tale of creation involving Shiva and his drum.
Mr. Qasimov and his daughter, Ms. Qasimova, the stars of the tragic Azerbaijani opera "Layla and Majnun" on Saturday, turned their vocal artistry to livelier matters in two songs. And the ensemble repeated an encore from Saturday, Mohammed Abdel Wahab's "Night at the Caravanserai."
Guest artists included percussionists from the University of Michigan and string players from the Manhattan School of Music, though the added strings barely registered in the crude and unbalanced amplification of "Blue as the Turquoise Night."
Mr. Ma added connective chatter and cheerleading of a sort more appropriate to a children's concert. Better by far was his summary of the project's big lesson on Saturday: The deeper you dig into any local tradition, the more you find something global.
As reported from NYtimes.com

A Mendelssohn concert by the pianist Emanuel Ax, the violinist Itzhak Perlman and the cellist Yo-Yo Ma at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday evening was ostensibly a celebration of the Mendelssohn bicentennial. But it was also a reminder of the unabated star power of these celebrity musicians. Chairs were placed on both sides of the stage to accommodate the capacity audience, with plenty of teenagers and children in attendance.
The concert opened with an evocative performance of Mendelssohn's Opus 109 "Song Without Words" for piano and cello, a vehicle for Mr. Ma's gorgeous tone and elegant phrasing. Mr. Ma and Mr. Ax also performed several arrangements of "Songs Without Words" by the contemporary composer Patrick Castillo. (Mendelssohn wrote 48 such songs for piano solo.) A soulful, burnished rendition of Opus 62, No. 1, was a highlight of the evening.
Mr. Perlman offered still more arrangements of "Songs Without Words" by Mr. Castillo, these for violin and piano. In contrast to Mr. Ma's powerful sound, Mr. Perlman's tone was sometimes lackluster, and he had intonation problems throughout the evening. But he also played with expressive musicianship, sensitively accompanied by Mr. Ax in selections like Heifetz's version of Mendelssohn's Opus 19b, No. 1.
In 1837, after composing many of the "Songs Without Words," Mendelssohn said he "would rather write bigger things," a goal he quickly realized with substantial chamber works like the Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, which the musicians performed in the first half of the program.
Mr. Ax played the muscular piano part with flair, the dark-hued opening bars representing a dramatic change from the sunny melodies of the preceding songs. The concert concluded with the Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor. Despite muddy passages and imprecise playing, it was a passionate performance that earned enthusiastic applause between movements and a rousing ovation at the end.
Then Mr. Perlman said from the stage, "It's the Mendelssohn year, so we'll play some Brahms for you." And as an encore the musicians played the second movement of Brahms's Piano Trio No. 2 in C.

Listen to the Score of Ashes of Time Redux
After his acclaimed performances on the soundtracks of Memoirs of a Geisha and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, cellist Yo-Yo Ma is the featured soloist throughout the score of, Ashes of Time Redux.
Ashes of Time was originally completed in 1994, to limited release. Since then, the existing prints and negatives have been damaged or destroyed. Director Wong Kar Wai says, "we decided to revisit this project to create the definitive version." He and his colleagues gathered as much existing material as could be found and restored those elements, using advanced technology that had not existed in the early '90's. He also collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma to create a new soundtrack, rearranging some of the original compositions by Freddie Chan and adding some original ones.
On the Ashes of Time Score, Yo-Yo Ma and Wu Tong, joined a group of young Chinese musicians in the recording studio to re-create the score for Ashes of Time Redux. On this recording, Ma's cello, as the instrument closest in pitch range to our voice, becomes a principal "narrator" telling us of love, life and loss.
To infuse the sounds of East and West for the Ashes of Time Redux score, Chan chose traditional Chinese instruments "dongxiao" (vertical bamboo flute) and "gaohu" (two-stringed fiddle) and recorded a guitar, which can imitate the sound of the "pipa" (Chinese flute). According to Chan, the "dongxiao" epitomizes the solitary existence of swordsmen, while the high-pitched squeaks of the "gaohu" presents the unpredictability of fate and human savagery.
The soundtrack is a testament to the remarkable achievement of artists crossing the great divide between traditional and classical, folk and modern, East and West.

New John Williams Composition Performed at President Obama's Inauguration by Yo-Yo Ma, Anthony McGill, Gabriela Montero and Itzhak Perlman
Now Available Exclusively at iTunes
"Air and Simple Gifts" is a classical quartet written by American composer John Williams for the January 20, 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. The piece was first heard by the public in Washington, DC, and on simultaneous broadcasts around the world in a performance by Anthony McGill (clarinet), Itzhak Perlman (violin), Yo-Yo Ma (cello) and Gabriela Montero (piano). The premiere of Air and Simple Gifts came immediately before the oath of office. Barack Obama officially became the President at noon, as stipulated by the United States Constitution, while the piece was being heard.
John Williams based the piece on the familiar nineteenth-century Shaker hymn Simple Gifts by Joseph Brackett. The source piece is famous for its appearance in Aaron Copland's score for the ballet Appalachian Spring. Williams chose the selection knowing that Copland is one of President Obama's favorite classical composers.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- Robert Hamberg, the former Gulf Coast High School band director, has been sentenced to 30 years in prisonfor eight counts of lewd and lacivious battery and 15 years of probation once released. He tried to get a retrial, but the judge denied it.
Hamberg had been found guilty of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student.
Hamberg's victim described to the court the last two years of her life since she came forward about her relationship with Hamberg.
The victim said she has felt "isolated and disconnected." She said, "I've had to give up so much of my life."
She said she has not been able to engage in "normal" teenage things, like movies and the mall, because of the torment she still receives. She stated that she has been bullied and threatened.
The victim's parents praise their daughter for speaking out. They also said the school district should have protected their daughter.

First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them, but then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this, and we can hug each other that much tighter these days.

Since the bunny that accompanies Adam Rose has been featured more frequently on television as of late, fans have been speculating that WWE will eventually have him work a match. It looks like that might happen sooner than later. There are talks that Rose and the bunny could be teaming up to battle Heath Slater and Titus ONeil during the kickoff match at Night of Champions 2014.

Earlier this week, Batista revealed that he was willing to work with Titus ONeil because he wanted to help his friend become a star in WWE. As of right now, management does not appear interested in the idea. While they do want to appease Batista since he is building his name in Hollywood, they seem more interested in using him against other big name performers instead.
August 19, 2014
Since he still has some backstage stroke, Batista is said to be using his political powers in an attempt to get WWE to push Titus ONeil, whom he calls a very close friend of his. The former world heavyweight champion has even publicly stated that he would be more than willing to be the person to elevate ONeil should the company decide to go that route.

For a short period of time there, Titus ONeil had his name linked to rumors that he was joining Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston in their new stable. However, it looks like he has been crossed off the list of candidates. ONeil has now been penciled in as a permanent tag team with Heath Slater, who was left with nothing to do when WWE released Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre.
July 29, 2014
When Heath Slater and Titus ONeil teamed up on an episode of Smackdown earlier this month, many fans assumed that WWE had just thrown two guys together for the sake of the match. However, it looks like it could become a permanent thing, as management has gone through the trouble of giving them an official name. Slater and ONeil are now known as Slater Gators.
July 29, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE really does not have all their plans in place for that new stable featuring Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. Several names, including R Truth, Titus ONeil and Mark Henry, have been mentioned as possible candidates to join the group, but none of that has been solidified. For the time being, the trio will continue to be vague on television.
July 29, 2014
An interesting idea being floated around in WWE has Titus ONeil joining the stable that consists of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. Management really likes ONeil, as evident by the fact that he routinely gets sent out on public appearances for the company, but they do not believe that he can be pushed as a singles performer. Putting him in a stable helps to alleviate some of those concerns.
July 28, 2014
Over the weekend, the Great Khali made his return to WWE at a live event in Pennsylvania. The former world heavyweight champion worked a quick match against Titus ONeil. This could signify that he is getting ready to make a return to Monday Night Raw. Do not expect him to receive a push or a big comeback segment, though. WWE has been trying to phase him out of their marketing plans as of late.
June 22, 2014
Those that watch Monday Night Raw and Smackdown are already aware that Damien Sandow is being buried by WWE. The company also decided to humiliate him a bit over the weekend at a live event in Hamilton. He was booked in three quick losses to Titus ONeil, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose within a span of a couple of minutes.
June 15, 2014
Earlier in the year, there were rumors that Titus ONeil was going to be receiving a push from WWE. Reports surfaced that it was dropped because of the poor reaction that his match against Darren Young at Elimination Chamber 2014 received from the audience. It has been several months now, and it looks like the rumors were true. Since that pay per view, ONeil has only won two matches on television.
June 4, 2014
In a sign of how far down the ladder that he has fallen, Sheamus was removed from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw this week. He worked a brief match against Titus ONeil, a performer whose own push was halted almost as soon as it began. While WWE still values Sheamus backstage, his demotion to the lower mid card is quite noteworthy.
April 29, 2014
A video of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns working a handicap match against Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Wade Barrett, Curtis Axel, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Jinder Mahal, Titus ONeil and Ryback on Monday Night Raw.
April 17, 2014
Rumors surfaced before Wrestlemania 30 that Titus ONeil was no longer going to be on the receiving end of a push in WWE. Those plans have not been changed, as management is planning on pushing several of the newer stars ahead of him. ONeil, however, has some job security, as WWE feels that he is a great representative at public appearances.
April 13, 2014
A picture of WWE stars on the set of the Soup, a popular television show that makes fun of current events. Titus ONeil, JBL, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Dolph Ziggler, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were recently guests on an episode.
April 12, 2014
While he managed to avoid an injury after taking an over the top rope dive at Wrestlemania 30, Kofi Kingston might have been injured during his taped match against Titus ONeil during WWE Superstars. He was limping noticeably and required some help to leave the arena. Some believe that he might be willing to work through the injury if it is not too bad.
April 9, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
The latest rumors on Titus ONeil is that there is backstage heat on him within WWE, as management has been booking him in multiple losses at live events. During a show this weekend, ONeil lost a match to Darren Young before issuing an open challenge and being decimated by Mark Henry. In the third match, he teams up with Wade Barrett to lose to both Young and Henry.
March 23, 2014
While management has halted his push because of a poor reaction from the audience at Elimination Chamber 2014, there is still a chance that Darren Young will be working the Wrestlemania 30 show. He and his former teammate Titus ONeil are both candidates to be entrants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal that weekend.
March 16, 2014
Since management was disappointed at the crowd reaction that was received during the match between Darren Young and Titus ONeil at Elimination Chamber 2014, the former Prime Time Players are being scaled back a bit, and their respective pushes are being placed on hold. Their feud has not being featured on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since the pay per view.
March 9, 2014
In case you missed the announcement on Monday Night Raw this week, Darren Young and Titus ONeil will be having their grudge match on the main Elimination Chamber 2014 pay per view next Sunday night. Many were under the belief that it was going to be the kickoff match, but management decided to step things up a bit.
February 19, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

Al-Momani, who is also minister of political and parliamentary affairs, said that officials from both countries have been in contact over sending 200 US soldiers to Jordan within joint cooperation and coordination. He added that the two sides maintain constant cooperation and coordination to boost the training and defense capabilities of the Jordan Armed Forces in light of the deteriorating situation in Syria. //Petra// AA
