My Story – Adoption Awareness Month
November 24, 2014 § 2 Comments
This month is adoption month. I've been participating in the adoption.com #adoptionphotoaday posts. Each day has a word or phrase prompt and you post a blurb about what that phrase means to you with an accompanying photo.
This has been both a sweet and difficult thing for me as I know it's likely a difficult thing for C's birth mom, grandmother, and great grandmother to read. On the other hand, it has been a really sweet way for us to celebrate him and his addition to our lives. Also, as advocates for adoption before C was ever a part of our lives it feels powerful to share about how wholly impactful and transformative these months have been. Easy? No. Perfect? No. Clean cut? No. Worth it? Absolutely. I only say this because I believe adoption is lauded as this miracle answer for those who cannot have their own children…
Justin and I can have our own children. We wanted to adopt the same.
Calvin was deeply and passionately loved by those who let him go, they did so just the same.
This is a process being undertaken within our family, does that make it easier? I would posit in some ways it makes it more complicated, and in other ways makes it sweeter. He will always know his family, his story, and that he has been loved from the moment he was known.
This also means that he has one great-great grandmother, one great grandmother & grandfather, twelve grandmothers & grandfathers, & four parents – not including our siblings (aunts, uncles, and cousins.) That's right. That's 17 people for one 2 year old, if you don't include one sibling of a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent.
Too. Much.
How do two new parents of a toddler look at 15 people and decide how to divide up a toddler's time? They don't – can you imagine? Instead we looked at C and said, "Buddy, it's the three of us now, and we're going to figure this out."
Two and a half months in it's hard to say that we've got a story. We're still in the process of SLOWLY introducing C to our parents. He's met J's parents, GAM & GUK just came and saved us – helped us get over the house hurdles and life stuff I just couldn't manage with everything else going on (not to mention cooked meals, cleaned, carried strollers up subway stairs, helped grocery shop etc.), and we're hoping Dad can meet him around MLK JR. Day.
It's important to us that people are not added too frequently, and that his foundation remains intact – that he knows he is only adding to the people that love him – not replacing people. We mainly manage this by looking at a lot of pictures, talking about people and how they intersect with our lives, and reading books about families that look more like ours. We also do A LOT of kissing pictures.
Is this My Story or C's Story? I wouldn't say it's either of our stories… As I said… There are far too many people invested for anyone to lay claim to the story as their own. I can only offer some random bits of what the last couple of months have looked like for us. As things become more cohesive a story will form for each of us and we will all have a chapter in this book, my deepest wish is that it will be a book of lavish love.
If I Needed You
September 18, 2014 § 8 Comments
Ken, Marla, and I love Lyle Lovett.
My first trip back to Texas after I got married I was at Guerro's having lunch and he walked past. I almost fell over. Freaked. Out.
It was at this point they decided to break the news that they had gotten tickets to the Lyle show that night… I mean…
There's a Townes Van Zandt song Lyle covers called If I Needed You – I've loved it forever.
The chorus is:
"If I needed you would you come to me,
Would you come to me, and ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain."
Man. I love those lines. I've loved those lines for over 20 years, when my Papaw used to listen to Emmy Lou and Don Williams sing the song by 8 Track driving me home from school.
As many of you know we recently acquired a 2 1/2 year old human. He is a distant family member. The grandson of one of my family members. He doesn't feel distant to us. He feels close. And I said many times in the process that I imagine the most difficult decision in the world outside of war must be to relinquish your child – even if you truly believe it to be in the best interest of your child. I can assure you that the only thing considered in this process by everyone involved was this little one's very best interest.
While we are over the moon with love for this child we grieve for his family that adores him and acutely feels the loss of his presence in their daily lives.
It's been a quick transition, but he's a very happy boy and we love that he's content with a bucket of toys and the NYC park system. We spend the days running and playing, working on colors, letters, numbers, and family rules (we use "may I please" and not "I want" in our home…") He's such a quick study, already saying thank you and you're welcome, identifying when it's safe and not safe to cross streets, and telling jackeogh she is NOT allowed on the couch (it's good to be the boss of something…)
We're trying to balance work, school, board memberships, things we're committed to and making sure one of us is with him at all times. As you can imagine sleeping is a thing of the past.
We know all of you will love him. He's magical and really a very fun and funny kid. Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your love, support, cheers, texts, prayers, and waves of kind words. We're over the moon. I'm sure eventually we'll figure out what to do and how to do all of this. Until then, enjoy laughing at us.
Oh, I almost forgot. Every nap, and every night Calvin sits in my lap – we read some books (ending with "Guess How Much I Love You?"), then we talk about our favorite part of the morning or day, finally he lays back and I rock him and sing, "If I Needed You" to him until he's asleep… Today at nap time he asked for his song. I hope he knows just how much we mean it, and just how much we needed him. Isn't that just the way it always seems to work?
Repost of Article from Columbia Spectator
September 5, 2014 § 1 Comment
I've never done this, but I'm doing it today. I'm doing it because I haven't written about this summer yet, and this touches on some of what I will. I'm doing it because so many – viewing themselves as Intellectuals turn off or shut down the voice of the religious in the debate. Likewise, viewing themselves as the keepers of the truth the religious reject the academic or the liberal debate. The problem is, no one has the market cornered on right or truth – or everyone thinks that they have the market cornered – I think you see the problem. Which news do you watch/read/listen to that's the LEAST biased (toward which perspective), when we say truth do we mean Jewish – which Jewish – Orthodox, Hassidic, progressive? – Christian? Catholic, Mormon (Romney… He was the right choice), Presbyterian (Reformed), Protestant, Evangelical… I think you see my point. It's kind of tough to have the market cornered on truth when SO many people have it and it's SO different and requires you buy different versions of it's sacred texts. Literally – within the Christian sect there were three different required sacred texts among the divisions listed. These ideologies often shape our debate in ways we don't realize. Our school newspaper published a powerful article by the Rabbi of Hillel regarding the debate, and I'd like to share it with you. I hope you'll consider it as you engage people, and if possible, I hope you will be brave enough to allow it to challenge your thinking as it has mine.
Learning to embrace radical humility
By YONAH HAIN
As published on line in the Columbia Spectator used without permission 😉
September 4, 2014, 5:05am
On campus, waxing poetic about diversity is like oxygen: It's everywhere. A major talking point from day one (e.g., Under1Roof, Perspectives on Diversity, and every ResLife session), it lies at the heart of the Columbia experience. Classes, professors, books, and fellow students will challenge your biases and push you to think beyond your own certainties. After eight years working on this campus, though, I'm not here to wax poetic, but to challenge how hollow these messages can ring, particularly in the face of conflict.
University President Lee Bollinger has emphasized the centrality of the "scholarly temperament": the ability "to acknowledge the difficulty and complexity of things, to set aside our preexisting beliefs, to hold simultaneously in our minds multiple angles of seeing things, to allow ourselves seemingly to believe another view as we consider it." This ability to consider many perspectives and to avoid the absolutist assumption of right and wrong is only of heightened importance outside of the classroom.
When conflict arises, our instincts urge us to filter world events through the facile binaries of good and evil, economical and wasteful, ally and adversary, etc. And so we must, both as individuals and as a community, look to our studies here as a lesson in the complexity that we ourselves must bring to bear on our understanding of world events. For that reason, I'm going to urge us to embrace a radical humility about our own views.
I'm thinking, for example, about the war in Gaza this past summer. For many of us, social media outlets revealed themselves as forums inhospitable to a diversity of opinions, unable to challenge inherited biases. Seemingly every Facebook post unleashed a comments section full of hateful speech or an echo chamber of cheerleading. But with this new academic year upon us, and the Jewish New Year approaching, I am challenging myself to choose the bravery of humility. Let's connect with one another and chip away at defensive postures, hear others' narratives without often instinctual dismissiveness.
This notion can be traced back to an old rabbinic adage. In the Pirkei Avot, the collection of pithy teachings colloquially referred to as the Ethics of the Fathers, the ancient Jewish sages understood honest, well-intentioned dispute thusly: "Any debate that is for the sake of heaven is destined to endure; any debate that is not for the sake of heaven will not endure." Strikingly, the honest disagreement will not be resolved. There is no mention of a divine truth appearing to put an end to the controversy once and for all. Instead, real difference is axiomatic, and the rabbis insist that such debate will carry on.
To be sure, this is not something I have mastered. Nor is it everyone's cup of tea. This kind of openness can feel unstable for some or may lead to a weakened sense of identity. But for me, this kind of radical humility helps refine and strengthen my personal convictions. I have grown to feel most comfortable in my own particularity as I have come into deep contact with divergent opinions. Note that I am not endorsing using other people's approaches as a foil for your own, in order to decide what you do not want to be. Rather, what I mean to say is that subjectivity is real, as real for others as it is for me, and as real for me as it is for others.

Italy, Knowing it All, & How to Solve the Problems of the World
August 21, 2014 § 1 Comment
I've struggled with what to write about this summer.
While I was gone a civilian aircraft was shot down over the Ukraine – as well as an Air Algérie flight, which crashed in Mali. On both flights all on board were killed.
Conflict has been renewed between Israel and Palestine.
The death toll in Syria rises.
People realized that among the many casualties of ISIS are Christians.
There were horrible landslides in Nepal.
Finally, police across the US have continued to shoot citizens, but in Ferguson, Missouri they shot an unarmed black teenager about to leave for college resulting in ongoing rioting.
Haley and I traveled for a week before Bologna. Justin and I traveled for two weeks after. The five weeks in between were spent at a Symposium on Conflict Prevention, Resolution, and Reconciliation. I will write about the symposium at some point, but I need more time. It was much different than almost all of us expected. We all learned incredible things from each other, from some of the speakers, from the dynamics, and from the incredible cultural diversity. We also learned a lot from those around us that had nothing to learn.
There are several kinds of non-learners. There are people that have something to say about everything, there are people who are passive aggressive directors – frustrated if they can't control a conversation/discussion/small group/friendship/negotiation etc., there are simply quiet resistors to information, and there are just people that believe they know everything and don't care what you have to say. These people may be academics, they may be teachers, students, facilitators, they may even perceive themselves to be dynamic empathetic learners – but they are unaware of the way that their communication changes the air in a room. You may speak to them, they may repeat back to you what you've said, but you know distinctly you have not been heard.
Why does this matter?
As I try to consider what's happening in the world…
As I contemplate this summer…
As I grieve the infrastructural and systemic racism in this nation…
As I question what I can write that's not offensive to those who struggle. Truly struggle.
I recognize we often choose our ignorance.
We choose not to hear when oppressed communities say, "this is wrong, it's not just, it's not right."
We choose to defend our position, our organization, our religion, our ideology, our 'hard work', our rights, or our opinions.
We don't often ask ourselves why.
What does it cost us to have our paradigm shifted?
Or what about this…
What does it cost us to live peacefully and respectfully with strongly differing ideas?
I often hear extreme right wing Christians say that they feel alienated in mainstream culture, politics, & schools. They feel that this country, which they believe was founded on Christian values (including the 3/5 Clause, no voting or land rights for women, and other Constitutional offenses), is rejecting them. These are OFTEN (not always) the very same people that deny religious freedoms to Muslims, or the right of no religion to agnostics and atheists – with little understanding of the similarity of the situation.
By extension, when you look at the situation in Israel, you see a similar inability to recognize that by displacing Palestinians from Israel in the 40s they were doing the exact same thing to the Arab people that had been done to them so long ago – they seemed to disregard the potential unintended consequences of that displacement for the Palestinian people as well. We as a world, compelled to assuage our gilt for our sins of WWII and driven by a powerful lobby, refuse to acknowledge the fact that the global standard for Rules of Engagement is the "absolute minimum force necessary proportional to the threat." There is no way that we can call what is happening in Israel against Palestine proportional to the threat – if there is a question we can compare the casualties between the two countries. As of today, according to the New York Times, "the Palestinian death toll since the onset of the operation to nearly 2,100. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and three civilians, one a foreign laborer, have been killed." 33:1 – Disproportionate. This is not a matter of ideology, this is a matter of numbers, logic, and international law.
As far as what is happening in Ferguson, I feel hesitant to speak. Not because I don't feel what's happening is wrong, but because it's not new. I don't understand why we are surprised. If you feel that there are better options to rioting, if you feel people should be keeping authority issued curfews, perhaps consider that two men have been killed in the area in the last week. Tazers were not used. Mace, a baton, or some equally undesirable but non-lethal action was not attempted. Consider what you would do if your government had failed you? What if that government had shown that it was going to fail to achieve justice on your behalf? Do you think I am being dramatic? Go back and read what was written after Trayvon Martin and see how familiar it all sounds. Or the articles from the 1960s… The oppressed of our society are not confused about their oppression, it's generally those holding on to their privilege that refuse to see how much they benefit from denying their co-nationals equality.
I've also been thinking a lot about our sense of patriotism and identification. How we tend to identify with those familiar to us more than we do 'the other.' For instance "our brothers and sisters in Christ." It is the similar tendency that makes us want to close our borders, guard our tax dollars, protect our co-nationals from potential terrorists sneaking over borders, and maintain the "American way of life." I am not entirely sure what any of this means. We are a nation founded on principles that "all men are created equal" whether we identify more greatly with them or not. We may think ISIS is MORE evil for killing Christians – but ISIS is just killing people, all the people, and they've been doing so for a long time. Also, as you've seen on the news – your co-nationals – a 19 year old from Colorado has joined the organization and is participating. So, in that case, since people are actually defecting, should we stop people from LEAVING America, so that they can no longer kill Iraqi Christians in the name of Allah? It becomes problematic to value people more because we can identify with them, nationalism was a pretty serious problem historically, one that led to the current problem in Israel, and despite claiming a lot of love for our co-nationals, we, here in America can't seem to work out the problems on our own soil – so perhaps we shouldn't go on and on about the evils abroad. We've got a pretty large plank in our eye that might be obstructing our vision.
More than ever, especially after my time in Italy, what I think I believe is that if people refuse to listen to each other – if they refuse to recognize their own weakness and be comfortable with their imperfection and lack of knowledge, then they will not seek others to compliment their weakness or ignorance and instead surround themselves with people who assure them their thinking is complete and correct. This is a dangerous and deadly thing in our world. We are all weak, ignorant, and flawed – this is humanity. The beauty of humanity is that we have each other to complement us, to teach us, to strengthen us. We don't need to know everything, to be able to do everything, to be experts in every field…
We must learn to live in tension. We must accept the differences in those around us. We must learn to extend to others those things we demand for ourselves. We must offer the same empathies and compassions that we have sought for ourselves. It is not required that we all agree, that we all like each other, that we sing in harmony – there can be beauty in musical dischord. If every piece of a stained glass window was the same there would be no image to behold. It is crucial that we allow individuality and the tensions that exist from that to develop in order for a healthy society (and I would argue a representative government) to function properly.
Father's Day
June 15, 2014 § 3 Comments
To bear your own pain is one thing. You know how to manage your own pain, but to see someone else hurt is often much more difficult.
I didn't know how to prepare Justin for this weekend, and so perhaps I let the words stick in my throat. Part fear, part knowing, and the rest helplessness.
Frustration that I should be done with school (I wouldn't have been, even without Wright – I was planning on hanging out until December) and working – and were I – I'd be able to scoop him up & steal him away to Bermuda or the Keys for the weekend. Not be here trying to figure out if we want to go out to Montauk for a night or Rockaway for the day…
I want to protect him from the hollow achey feeling, the irrational sense that American media is trying to remind you what you've lost, the even more irrational sense that social media is entirely immune to your wound and armed with balloons filled with salt… I want to steal his phone, change his alarm and let him sleep through tomorrow. I want him to never have to wake up on Father's Day and remember…
But if he does. I hope he remembers that he fought with me about how much he should be able to talk to my stomach once the baby could hear so that she could recognize his voice equally – since he was at work all day. And how mean he was to me about coffee – because rules are rules for a reason. And how we listened to songs and dreamed and changed our plans and our hearts got bigger and once your hearts get bigger they can't get smaller. And even before it got scary we loved her to the moon and he was the most incredible Dad. And after it got scary he fought for her, and he held on for her, and he protected her, and he was brave for her – even though it meant this would all hurt a lot more. I hope when he wakes up that's what he remembers – because that's what we have. So much more capacity to see the facets of a stone than we did before.
Father's Day isn't always happy, but it's always here.
There's no way around pain but through it. One step. One moment. One 'holiday' at a time. So today we celebrate our fathers for the ways they've stood with us always, and my UK – you've read his celebration.
And I celebrate Justin for the father I saw in him. I especially raise my heart to him for the father he was May 2. More loving and courageous than I ever could have imagined. And every day since, I admire a respect him more.
To all the men out there that are also Fathers in difficult and non-traditional ways – may you feel deeply loved, understood, and celebrated today.
Conflict Management
June 10, 2014 § 2 Comments
We're on a bit of a countdown around here.
In two days it's UK's birthday. Although, he's already been to see the aliens, so I am not entirely sure how we could possibly celebrate him in a way that could top UFOs.
On Friday there is yet another medical situation in Boo's family – they seem to come like the waves lately.
On Friday it's 6 weeks since we said goodbye to Wright, which seems impossible.
On Sunday, it's Father's Day.
One week from today Justin's sister and her husband celebrate their 7 year anniversary.
In 12 days it's my Dad's birthday.
In 15 days it's Boo's birthday. The last in his early 30s. Don't think I'll let that pass mercifully.
In 16 days Haley and I board a plane for Milan and she's going to ease me gently into my symposium in Bologna.
You may be asking, what the heck are you going to Italy for again? I am going for an academic symposium on conflict prevention, resolution, and reconciliation. At the end of the program I will be certified in International Conflict Management.
I am sure any of you that have lived with me or been in a small group with me are rolling your eyes. I believe in conflict. Healthy conflict.
I believe in tension. Healthy tension.
As any of you know that have lived life with me in any sort of intimate way, I believe that intimacy breeds conflict and conflict breeds intimacy.
I grew up in two families that were very conflict oriented. Some healthy, some unhealthy. Unhealthy conflict is pretty easy to identify, it generally produces no greater intimacy in the relationship. There are reasons for this, and ways to prevent it, and I will provide a detailed layout for interpersonal conflict in this post – it's not for the faint of heart.
Healthy conflict is not fun. Nor easy. It does not always end in a perfect friendship, but it results in greater intimacy, even if the intimacy is one of greater knowledge of another person that results in a decision to step away from the intensity from the relationship for some length (short or extended) of time.
I don't trust a relationship that isn't one of hard truth. If someone can look at me and say, "What you are saying, what you did, how you are acting…is hurtful to me…" then I know innately that I can trust them .
People who fear conflict often also fear rejection, "If I say my feelings are hurt then they will be mad at me…" "They won't understand…" Or some other sundry of reasons.
There are also rationalizations, such as, "I am sure they didn't mean it that way…" Unfortunately offense has likely been taken, and few have the capacity to truly let go. These offenses often gather until they overflow, or worse come out in passive aggressive jabs and barbs at an unknowing recipient. That recipient unfortunately cannot use psychic powers of discernment to figure out why they have become the butt of aggression for something someone has convinced themselves they have 'let go of' until they have 'had enough' and explode with a laundry list of harbored (let go) offenses.
There are even others who simply can't be bothered when offended, you offend them, they write you off, apparently on the one and done spectrum of "tolerance of offenses." These people are not likely those who adhere closely to the "do unto others principle" or they are perfect.
So what do we do? What do peacemakers do?
Well there are all sorts of options.
There are organizations like Human Rights Watch that do something called Naming & Shaming. This is something that they've developed for conflicts that are relatively cyclical – I won't name any nations, but think Hatfield & McCoy kind of epic – wars so old that tracing their origin and weighing their fairness is next to impossible. So this organization publishes EVERY attack and says, "Hatfield blasted McCoy today – 3 dead." The intention is to shame Hatfield and hold them accountable for their actions, the problem is that it isn't always accurate, and it demands retaliation keeping the cycle going, rather than throwing a stick in the spoke. So I wouldn't use this tactic for conflict resolution, privately, nationally, or globally.
I would generally start with stepping back and trying to get a view of the landscape. Jerry Brotton wrote a book on the history of the maps, one of the most profound things that he said was, "Cartographers cannot help but betray their own centre of gravity." For example – here's the world map most American's grow up learning:
On 7 December 1972, one of the three astronauts on board the Apollo 17 was able to capture a photograph of the fully illuminated face of the earth – from which Arno Peter's was able to draw the first absolutely accurate orthographic projection of the earth (1973 © ODT Inc.) – let's observe the difference -
We cannot help but betray our own center of gravity, the key is to remember that we are seeing the world from the top perspective despite the fact that reality is the bottom.
Betraying our own center of gravity most often finds form in a lack of awareness regarding our own behavior. A belief that you are ultimately right – THEY are the problem NOT YOU, the belief that you are better or somehow superior to the other person (whether you are able to admit this to yourself or not), believing you already have the solution to the problem (there is no reason to have conflict if YOU already have the answer – you will be impossible to negotiate with – you only want to win), and all other forms of pride. Defensiveness. Inflexibility. Habitually justifying away every circumstance with reasons or excuses and an inability to see the multitude of circumstances that create a big picture (this happens often in project management)… And so on and so forth.
One of my professors always tells us when we're writing a paper or when we are negotiating policy, if we already know the answer then we have already failed. The goal is to go in with a hypothesis that can be disproven, with a question, with something that has facets, depth, and angels. The goal is to navigate it from every side, learn it from every angle, and be willing to change it, die to it, the goal is not to write a paper you already know the answer to… You get the point. It's the same with conflict – you only have your perspective at the beginning. The GOAL is to GAIN perspective. YOU HOPE YOU'RE NOT RIGHT. If you are offended, you DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT. You hope you are wrong. You may not be, and you should be prepared for that also.
So when you've got your perspective right, your center of gravity is shifted, and you're ready to go in as an equal – then be sure you are able to articulate your issue. This is not the name and shame game of Human Rights Watch (don't go in finger pointing), though facts are helpful.
Be able to articulate, "When this factual thing did happen, I felt this way." Notice I didn't say, when this factual thing happen, I ASSUMED (or jumped to the conclusion) you meant this and you MADE ME feel this way.
We are not victims, nor are we hurdlers and we have no need to go jumping to conclusions.
Our center of gravity should have allowed us to take the facts of a situation, place them in a sieve, shake all of our pride and assumption off, and take responsibility for our own action and emotion. "I felt this way, I understand that this is my perspective…"
Never leave it there – take the next step. Just stating the hurt is akin to handing someone a tool and then not explaining how to use it. You are identifying a specific incident, but not identifying the real issue…
For Justin and me the issue might be avoiding conflict, but the real issue is trust – let's trust each other enough to have genuine conflict.
Don't focus on the branch, deal with the root of the issue, or you'll spend your life hacking at branches.
Here is the biggest key to moving forward in healthy conflict and tension, a solution that benefits both people.
In the past couple of years I have begun asking myself if conflict is worth it, is the person willing to work toward a mutually beneficial solution?
You can only ask this question if you've had a lot of conflict with someone.
People that it may not be possible to have meaningful conflict with at this moment (but may be at some point):
People unaware that they are betraying their own center of gravity, or worse – people that truly believe they are NOT in fact betraying their center of gravity but believe that they are perfectly compensating despite being smack dab in the middle of the map…
People who are simply not able to be mutual. These are people that require that you always meet them where they are… emotionally…practically… intellectually… for dinner…
People who perpetually posture as the victim, and tend to be the martyr in every situation. No matter what the situation is, somehow they have been wronged.
My Mammaw was like this (my mother is), you would ask her how she was and she would answer, "Oh I'm alright I guess…" while telling us that she was "blessed she didn't have to work Sunday despite having to work Saturday – there was just no one else to do it." This was her attitude in conflict also, she would just take it, poor her – despite often being the source and initiator of the conflict.
Until a person is willing to take responsibility for their life, "I am great, I am alive, I could be dead!" – "I am blessed to be off Sunday, I offered to work yesterday because no one else volunteered, I am glad I have a job!" – or, "I quit my job, I was sick of being forced to work Saturdays…" It is unlikely they will be able to say, "You're right, what I did was wrong and I am sorry – how can we move forward?" It is likely they will only be able to tell you what you did wrong… and the ability to be something other than the victim is crucial to moving forward in conflict.
You should be able to, in good faith and with mutuality, discuss ways to move toward the future – without contention.
You may be in a temporary holding pattern, where you need some time to step away and think or re-evaluate. But, for the most part, you should be able to see that you're committed to the future and at some point you can come back to the table and move the issue forward.
Moving the issue forward will involve being specific about the issue. This is the issue (the root, not the branch – getting caught up in the minute details can bog down progress.) "When this happened, my perception was, and it hurt me."
If a person needs a specific apology for a specific issue, then that should be articulated, however, if they need an apology for 15 specific issues (that become a theme) then it is suggested they back up and gain center of gravity, identify the root of the issue, and re-enter the conversation. In moving forward, each person should be prepared to concede something.
The myth about win/win is that everyone gets 100%/100% – that's a statistical impossibility.
Negotiation is give and take, as is conflict. In conflict, each person should be prepared for their perspective to shift – this is where I didn't see how my behavior was causing this effect, or where my perspective or my perception was false (WRONG, INCORRECT). We should also be prepared to change, or improve the situation for someone else – we should commit – out loud to altering our behavior – immediately – in a way that will improve the situation. Our apologies should be specific – and not general. Apologies and forgiveness should be like introductions – specific to their issue and not at all interchangeable. When you apologize – say exactly what for, take full responsibility, don't blame shift (I'm sorry YOU felt that way – just own it – my actions resulted in your hurt feelings) and when you forgive do the same, I forgive you for hurting me – no contingencies. Hopefully that handles it, but if needed lay out an action plan for things that cannot be changed immediately. If we require action from the other person, we may REQUEST, not demand it.
Conflict requires follow up. The next day, a few days later, a week later, and a month later. Relationships must be tended. They aren't like succulent plants that can be watered once a month and left in the scorching sun to survive no matter what. They are hard work, and they aren't for everyone.
Finally, what about forgiveness when the apology never comes? Or worse, the apology is insincere, or the behavior is ongoing…
This goes back to being a victim.
I would love to change people. LOVE. I don't understand people. It's the hardest part about politics for me. The law was written with a lot of ambiguity and people try to make it really black and white. It was written with compromise and the democratic process in mind, and we've robbed it of its beauty.
We can't change people, people won't be changed.
You can be all the mad and all the hurt you want, it won't do you a damn bit of good.
The thing is that you can forgive people without excusing their behavior or their actions. Once you've exhausted your communication options with them, in the words of Elsa- Let It Go – and I don't mean ignore the issue – I mean step away from the hotbed.
If you're interested in working through something, and no matter how hard you try the other party genuinely is not, you can't make them.
Forgive them, hold your boundaries, love them in an appropriate manner, but move on.
They are not going to change, so there is no use in wasting your energy, frustration, communication, or emotion on something that is not ripe for the moment. If you've communicated, asked for what you needed, and exhausted the situation then forgive without being apologized to and move on.
Believe me, you'll feel 100 pounds lighter – and honestly – you'll be free of an exhausting relationship. If it's supposed to, or when it's 'ripe', it will come back around and can be dealt with when both people are ready.
I am sure that International Peacekeeping follows these exact same rules – the ones that I used navigating years of high school girls at camp and then college girls' relationships, international team dynamics, and then global tensions with the institute for cultural inquiries. Talk about a hotbed – I think high schoolers were the worst…
I probably don't even need to go to Bologna, I kid. I kid.
The longer I am married the more I realize we all need a daily refresher on dealing with conflict. Despite a cognitive knowledge of conflict I fail at it profoundly and often in various relationships, but I love learning, and I love genuine relationship.
Authentic conflict is always worth it. Just like training for a marathon, the hard work is done long before the moment of conflict…

In one way or another, Janine Friedman has always been involved in fitness?practicing Pilates, training clients, and serving as a fitness coordinator for local Girl Scouts. "Movement has always been a part of my life," says Janine. "It gives me purpose, focus, and happiness all at once, allowing me to share the positive and healthful benefits with others.? Pulling from her passion and years of experience, Janine opened her own private training studio?Esteem Wellness & Fitness?where she continues to teach classes alongside a team of certified instructors.
Reflected in the studio's mirror-lined walls and cushioned by its carpeted floors, coaches guide students through the poses of Vinyasa yoga and Pilates and the high-intensity cardio and strength-training exercises of conditioning classes. The studio even offers a Jedi Training program for kids?in which instructors guide youngsters in meditation and peaceful problem solving?along with youth and teen yoga classes, in which students learn techniques that enable them to avoid geometry class by neatly tucking themselves into their lockers?an ironic use of geometry.
As the name suggests, Dany Holdstein's Two Worlds Dance & Fitness unites instructors from the realms of dance and exercise to help students meet their health goals. Before founding the studio, Holdstein studied with dance icons Martha Graham and Pearl Lang, taught master classes internationally, and served as an adjunct professor at C.W. Post College. He requires his dance instructors' credentials be no less impressive. Dance teachers include Andre Kisselev, a classically trained ballet dancer who has high-stepped it with Riverdance, and Lancelot Theobald, a former professional football player who has performed at the Metropolitan Opera and developed choreography for the Knicks City Dancers. Theobald's Momz-N-Da-Hood group—a breakdancing crew of mothers over 40—is a spinoff of one of his hip-hop exercise classes, and, as noted by the Long Island Press, has appeared on Good Morning America.
As the artistic director of an eponymous contemporary dance company, Holdstein has equipped his dance and workout studios with the same floating floors and Marley coverings found in professional facilities. The center's walls resound with music from spinning, Zumba, and belly-dancing classes as certified personal trainers help guests navigate the weights and cardio equipment in the gym area. The instructors also lead classes for children and teens, including Broadway-style theater-dance sessions and pointe classes that give kids the ability to overcome roller-coaster height requirements.

You wouldve had to have made a very conscientious, hermetic effort for the past few years in order to avoid having any notion of the popularity of a particular made-for-TV movie called High School Musical. Disney continues to milk its unexpected cash cow with countless spinoffs, merchandising and sequels. Now, the most bizarre manifestation -- a musical based on the movie about a musical -- has come to town for your favorite tweens viewing pleasure. The stage adaptation, directed by Jeff Calhoun, opens tonight at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Complex at 7:30 p.m., and you would be wise to purchase tickets in advance. The show runs through July 27, with a few matinee opportunities before the company skips town with a bag full of your money. Ticket options range from $25 for a single ticket to a family four-pack for $2,500, which includes a private ice-cream social with the cast -- a fundraiser that will benefit the Denver Centers Arts in Education programs. To purchase tickets, call 303-893-4100, or get with the times and use the Internet: www.denvercenter.org.
July 22-25, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., July 26, 2 & 7:30 p.m.; Sun., July 27, 1 & 6:30 p.m., 2008

What bodyfat should one be before starting to bulk, so that at the end of the bulk they won't end up looking fat?
I'm currently 18% bodyfat but I'm thinking I should lose fat til I'm about 12% before bulking?

Eligible residents will be able to have their assessed property values reduced by a maximum of $12,000 for wartime service, and larger amounts for those with combat service and disabilities.
Ernest "Ernie" O'Dell, a board member at Helderberg Christian School in East Berne, was honored at Legislative Day for New Yorker's Family Values Foundation on March 18.
The Fox Creek Market in the Berne hamlet closed this month for its own unique reasons, but it has done so before, emblematic of a cherished, social business in a rural town that is subject to the pressures of a sparse customer base.
The Albany County Historical Association invited local organizations to use their space in Arbor Hill earlier this month. They plan to meet again in Knox in June.
Realtor Robert Smith says his niece bought property in Knox, where she has a towing business in the second district, only after the zoning administrator said they would be clear of the town's law.
HILLTOWNS — The BKW Little League president says he was thrilled as a kid at Christmas to have the ValleyCats reclaim a field ravaged by tropical storms in 2011. He's looking for volunteers to help.
KNOX — The towing business cited in violation of the town's zoning law in January was included in a business district recommended by a 4-to-2 vote of the Knox Planning Board on Feb. 27.
"How delicate and strong something can be at the same time," said Dawn O'Neal, speaking of the birds she studies, but perhaps inadvertently referencing herself. She recently became the Huyck Preserve's newest executive director.
Residents had questions about pollution, the tax base, and the potential for the sheriff's office to buy a piece of the East Berne property, the potential location of intermunicipal training facilities and a new firehouse.
The renovations will make the former hotel more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, with better access for people using wheelchairs.

These deep sofas have been designed with ergonomics in mind.
The separate chairs and corner seats can be arranged into a large sectional sofa like this one.
The Togo looks great with another one of our favorite modern icons, the http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/59144/list/Modern-Icons--The-FL-Y-Pendant">FL/Y Pendant.
The Togo adds to the the fun lounge-y vibe of this room.
Here is another view of that fun guitar room.
http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19978/list/The-Tulip-Table--It-Goes-with-Everything-">Tulip Tables are another great complement to the Togo.
This shot shows some of the scrumptious colors available for the Togo.
There's something about this room that reminds me of the spirit of a retro http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2943/list/The-Conversation-Pit--from-Fallingwater-to-the-Present">conversation pit, updated to look contemporary and chic.
Here the Togo holds its own next to the futuristic bubble chairs. By the way, I'm currently collecting images of those for a future ideabook - if you have a favorite, please let me know about it in the comments section!

The Togo is perfect in a master bedroom - comfortable and low to the floor works well in here!

About Carol Moreno
My husband and I love Oahu so much we decided to build our own place here. You will find all the comforts of home, and much more!
Carol Moreno purchased this house in 2010
Why Carol Moreno chose Laie
I built this house for myself. I hope others who visit will enjoy it as much as I. Laie is the undiscovered jewel of Oahu - making its own statement. I continually remain in awe of its naked, unparalleled beautiful ocean from sunrise to sunset and starlit sky from dusk to dawn.
What makes this house unique
Peace and quiet on a beautiful beach and adventure on others. We treasure hunt for colored, glass fishnet balls that wash up on the beaches between Turtle Bay resort and Kahuku. Other fun, close by benefits to the Northshore of Oahu near Laie include the Polynesian Cultural Center, Kualoa Ranch with its many, unique activities, Dole Plantation, Byodo-In Temple and Macadamia Nut Factory. Surf large waves just 20 minutes away in Sunset Beach and watch hundreds of turtles on the beach near Chun's Reef. Seals often sun themselves on the beach right in front of this house.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem. Everything is perfect and comfortable, even the beds. I have 3 children and everybody can settle down in the evening with their own TV. I will be back!

Low-cost tablets become a hit in Brazil
Summary: Foreign and national brands fight for an ever-growing market niche
2 of 7Image
As sales of tablet computers continue to rise in Brazil, manufacturers are investing in the very lucrative business of making low-cost devices for the masses.
Huge demand from consumers who cannot afford higher-spec devices from the likes of Apple or Samsung - or simply want to give the technology a try - means the Brazilian high street is now awash with tablets costing R$300 ($123) or less.
Image credit: metaviews (cc)
According to technology analyst IT Data, low-cost devices represent 64 percent of all tablets sold in Brazil in the second quarter of 2013.
Image credit: Johan Larsson (cc)
Many cheaper tablets on offer in Brazil are manufactured by Chinese companies, often unheard of by most Brazilians. According to Ivair Rodrigues, an analyst at research firm IT Data, there is still a consumer appetite for those devices, despite the lower quality standards.
"Last week, a large Brazilian retailer was selling [Chinese] tablets for R$249 ($102), but they are actually disposable. If there is an issue, the retailer will just replace it instead of messing around with customer support," Rodrigues says.

Vince AmlinJacob said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am." Then he said, "Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. - Genesis 27:24-25Recently, I led a prayer workshop with our congregation's group for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. After singing and body prayer, we closed our morning with a practice of blessing.The group members and I huddled around, put our hands on the shoulders of one woman, and started to pray. As each of her friends offered words, sounds, or silence, I was deeply moved. Tears were shed, holy laughter broke out, and I felt blessed to stand in the presence of such profound spiritual energy.I don't know what to make of this passage from Genesis, the story of a stolen blessing. It's hard to cheer for the scoundrel Jacob or to draw an appropriately pious lesson from his lying. What am I supposed to learn from such behavior?Perhaps only that Isaac's blessing seems a lot more powerful than those I dispense on Sunday mornings.I have yet to observe congregants jostling for a bigger piece of my benediction. No one has attempted to intercept the waters of baptism as I sprinkled them on another's forehead. The line of people waiting for prayer outside my door is short, and none of them have brought wine.I wonder how I might come to offer a blessing worth stealing, a prayer potent enough to provoke sibling rivalry. I fear I need a little more practice. But I know just the group to teach me. PrayerGod of Isaac, and Esau, and Jacob, give me prayers with power! Send me teachers who know how to truly bless!

Don't Speak Lyrics - Gwen Stefani
Review The Song (6)
You and me
We used to be together
Every day together, always
I really feel...
That I'm losing, my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end...
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Old memories
They can be inviting
But some are all together
Mighty frightening
As we die both you and I
With my head in my hands I sit and cry
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying...are we?
I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good !
Don't Don't
Hush hush darling, hush hush darling,hush hush
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Hush hush darlin, hush hush darling,hush hush
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

losing a friend. | Reviewer: alanna harley | 4/2/11
i like this song. Pretty lovely <3 i loved how Gwen had that simple look going on and at the same time look stunning. I like that effortless look.
She's probably singing about her break up with the bassist. In my humble opinion this song in about losing a friend that you always confided in.. maybe ego gets in the way... maybe the friend or the bassist felt over shadowed & that's when the relationship died down... & she doesnt want to hear him explain to her that they're not close anymore. That things changed.... or something.
deep meaning. | Reviewer: Zach | 7/30/07
This song has such a powerful meaning to it.It's a song that i can relate to.I've always been a fan of Gwens and all of her work.But this song seems to mean something extra special to me.I can't stop listening to it.These lyrics are going through my head..Losing a close friend is sad.But this song makes it easier to deal with it.This is going to be my theme song for the first few weeks when i begin highschool.I lost a close friend this summer.I can't imagine life without her.But atlest i found a cool song to listen to.Maybe i should buy it as a ringback tone on my cell phone for her so that she can hear it when she leaves me hatemail:]

"I view social interaction design as a field that seeks user-centric descriptions of experiences and behaviors on social media, with an eye on emergent social practices. I see user interactions as occurring between users, mediated by social tools — not as interactions with the tools only. Social practices, in the view of social theory, involve users who know what they're doing, what's going on, and how to participate. Not on the basis of what's on the screen, at the level of the interface and its design, but in terms of the social activity in which they are involved. […]
I view social interaction design as a paradigm shift in design thinking for two reasons. First, because descriptions and explanations of user activities focus on user experiences, not on design. Second, because the model involves two or more users interacting with each other, not one user interacting with a software application."

Theoretical underpinnings of social interaction design

Blades on the block? Chase interested
Kevin Mitchell, StarPhoenixPublished: Saturday, June 29, 2013
Former Saskatoon Blades' forward Kelly Chase says he'd be interested in buying a piece of the Saskatoon Blades if they go up for sale.
Chase said Friday that he's talked about the matter with Blades' owner Jack Brodsky, who appears ready to test the market.
"I asked Jack if the rumour was out there, and he said they're exploring it," Chase said. "I said, well, we'll talk down the road."
Chase - who played 458 NHL regular-season games and does radio colour commentary on St. Louis Blues games - is no stranger to junior-hockey ownership.
He was co-owner of the North American Hockey League's St. Louis Bandits for several years before recently selling his stake.
Brodsky told Blades' broadcaster Les Lazaruk Friday that "we're considering our future options, and the Saskatoon Blades are committed to the people and the city of Saskatoon." The Blades later sent out a press release stating that they wouldn't comment further. Brodsky, whose family has owned the Blades since 1976, couldn't be reached for comment.
The release said the Blades are "eagerly preparing for the 2013-14 season. Although the current owners are considering their options for the future, it is business as usual at the Blades' office. The Western Hockey League (WHL) and the Saskatoon Blades are committed to Saskatoon."
Chase said he'd be an interested party should the team go on the market, but he stressed that "out of respect for Jack, I'd like the due diligence process to move forward. I'd like him to go through his process, then we'll talk.
"I think everybody who's ever played there, who's ever had a little bit of interest, is going to do their due diligence," Chase added. "We're no different than anybody else. Jack's going to go down a path with people he thinks are best for it.
"I'm always a supporter of the Blades, whether I have a piece of it moving forward or not. We'll watch and see what happens. We've been in contact with Jack, and we'll see what happens, see how it plays. I don't think there's any race; the process depends on the (WHL) board of governors. They do as good a job as any business at making sure the partners they have in the league are good people. We'll see how that works."
The Blades' lease with Credit Union Centre expires after the 2013-14 season. The signing of a three-year lease in 2011, with an exclusivity clause, slowed speculation about the potential for an American Hockey League franchise in Saskatoon.
WHL commissioner Ron Robison, noting there's always interest from people wanting to buy into league franchises, said he hasn't talked to Brodsky about a potential sale but he stressed that he wants a team in Saskatoon.
"The Blades are a fixture in Saskatoon, and there will be a franchise in Saskatoon, without question," Robison said Friday. "What we're talking about here is a potential change in ownership, and that may occur at some point, but our intent is to maintain a franchise in Saskatoon.
"The Brodsky family has been associated with this franchise for many, many years. If the franchise was ever to be sold in the future, it would be to someone who has the same type of commitment to the community as the Brodsky family has over the years."
The WHL's board of governors would have to approve any ownership change.
Chase, meanwhile, said he likes Saskatoon as a hockey venue.
"I think it's a good hockey market," he said. "At times, the size of the building hurts them as a junior market. On the flip side, I think it's growing and I think they're a big part of Saskatoon."

Biggest casualty of sequestration is legitimacy of government
With just days to go before the deadline kicks in, public efforts to arrive at a deal have been replaced by the familiar partisan blame game that now passes for doing the people's business. Instead of focusing on avoiding the ham-fisted cuts to spending that will affect military deployments, special education funding, the judicial system and public safety, the media is filled with contested accounts of whose idea sequestration was and who will pay the bigger price once the cuts begin.
The impact on federal spending is not insignificant. Over 10 years, the Budget Control Act, from which sequestration comes, requires a $1.2 trillion cut in spending. Annually, that works out to about $109 billion, with $85 billion set to be cut over the course of this year. By now, most are familiar with what this means in the real world. Defense cuts will lead to 800,000 civilian employee furloughs, defense contracts not being renewed, training and readiness programs being cut, and, perhaps most famously, the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier battle group's deployment to the Middle East has been cancelled. Domestically, 70,000 students would no longer have access to Head Start services, 10,000 teachers and aides who serve low-income and special needs students would find their funding cut, the FAA would have to furlough nearly 47,000 employees. Homeland security and Medicare will be cut as well.
In New Hampshire, the cuts will also take a toll. According to the White House, Granite Staters should expect over a million dollar cut to teachers and schools, more than $2.2 million less for children with disabilities, no Head Start for 100 children, the loss of $138,000 in funding for job search assistance that will affect nearly 5,000 people looking for work. The list goes on.
At the end of the day the biggest casualty of sequestration isn't the particular federal programs that are cut, the jobs that are lost or furloughed, or even the impact on unemployment or the growth of our economy. The casualty is the legitimacy of our government in Washington. Support for our institutions of government is dangerously low. According to the most recent Gallup Poll, 14 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing while 81 percent disapprove. According to Real Clear Politics, 37.2 percent of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction while 55.5 percent think we are headed in the wrong direction. It is possible that sequestration will serve as one of those critical moments in our national conscience, shocking voters into demanding more of their elected officials. We've seen this before after the attack on Pearl Harbor, during the Vietnam War, and in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. It's also possible that voters will continue to muddle along, allowing for business as usual in Washington where playing the blame game and scoring cheap partisan points passes for legislation and leadership. If that's the case, then we have the government we deserve.

1997 Land Rover Discovery Problems
Internal failure of the rear cargo door latch can cause the door to not open when using the outside door handle.
A Coolant leak under the middle of the vehicle can be caused by a leaking throttle body deicer. Coolant travels down the engine towards the rear before dripping to the ground.
Low coolant levels can be caused by leaking head gaskets and/or failed cylinder liners. Misfires or engine performance issues usually accompany these problems.
1997 Land Rover Discovery Questions
I think this is a cam sensor. My heads are leaking and then this guy. The leaks aren't too bad, but they are slowly leaking more. I also have a leak from the AC compressor.
the idling has been higher. Two days ago the engine stalled and there is know spark going to the plugs when you turn it over it has an empty sound I think it may be the ignition coil and if so how hard are they to change.
Can Idol or putt around town all day without overheating.
Runs great until your on the highway for about 25 min. Then it overheats. Block test negative, new clutch fan, water pump, electrical fans, radiator flush and hoses.
No smoke, runs great!! For awhile lol.
After it overheats you can turn...
