foundation for outstanding internal customer service is excellent
interdepartmental communication and cooperation. (See related article
for definition and case study
of internal customer service.) Dialogue between internal customers
and internal providers (or vendors) must include agreements about
the following topics:
1. Clear expectations. An internal provider of service is
responsible for setting clear guidelines about what internal customers
can reasonably expect. Some organizations implement Service Level
Agreements (SLAs) defining what internal customers can expect from
internal service providers. Even without formal SLAs, internal customer
service can be exceptional IF the internal service provider has
clarified to internal customers what expectations are reasonable.
Customer also must communicate expectations regarding timeline and
quality in advance of request. Last minute requests are typically
due to poor planning on the part of the internal customer. Expecting
the internal provider to 'hijack' priorities to meet unreasonable
needs is inappropriate, and should be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis, with involvement by upper management. At no time should this
become the norm, or the internal customer will become 'trained'
to expect the unrealistic.
2. Customer Responsibilities. To meet expectations, internal
provider of service is responsible for clarifying what is needed
from the internal customer, and also clarifying service provider
processes and timelines necessary to meet quality requirements of
customers. The phrase "Help me help you" from the movie "Jerry Maguire"
applies here.
In order to provide the best customer service, internal providers
need the cooperation of customers in allowing enough lead time and
providing information and materials necessary to fulfill customer
request. This is a communication responsibility of the internal
service provider to let the customer know 'what I need from you
in order to meet your request is ....' It's essential to have an
understanding with customers about realistic timelines and quality
expectations. Internal providers who find they're constantly working
on customer 'emergencies' must clarify to customers the strain this
causes to provider. Constant emergencies diminish provider's ability
to give good service to all internal customers, and create a stressful
working environment (not to mention interdepartmental animosity).
3. Service Provider Responsibilities. Most internal customer
service problems are a result of the 'silo' mentality where people
and departments work in isolation, consider only their own priorities,
and think others are sitting around twiddling their thumbs with
nothing to do until an internal customer screams "Jump!" in a last
minute panic. This is sure to guarantee lower levels of quality,
resentment from provider, and a reputation for lack of professionalism
on part of customer. Customers must take responsibility for understanding
how their request fits into overall workflow of organization and
internal service provider's workflow.
Internal service providers are responsible for explaining their
workflow, so the customer will understand he or she isn't the only
4. Negotiated Priorities. While most customer priorities
are 'urgent - must have right away' this is counterproductive to
any process. A clear communication between internal customers and
service providers is essential. With internal customer service,
most customers believe the provider should intuitively understand
priorities because they all work for the same organization. This
is false! A discussion about priorities must be part of the expectation-setting
1. Always know your customers' expectations, and be a part
of their expectation setting. If they have false or unrealistic
expectations, explain your workflow, priorities, processes and timelines
in providing top quality service for them.
2. To help your customers utilize your services better, explain
how they can be 'good customers.' Be explicit about what you
need from them in order to meet their needs. Define timelines and
quality levels. Let them know what they can expect from you. As
an internal provider, tactfully tell the customers how they fit
into your workload, and listen to their delivery needs. Negotiate
delivery dates and quality levels.
3. Always keep customers informed on project progress. Nobody
likes to be blindsided by delays or last minute requests for additional
4. Get out of your 'silo'. Take a break with co-workers from
another part of your organization. Talk to them during lunch about
what's happening in their department. We all work so hard we can
become myopic, lack perspective and be ignorant about how other
functions operate.
5. Open your vision to the big picture. When talking to co-workers
from other departments, develop an understanding of how the whole
organization works. How does your contribution fit into the big
picture? What do other departments need from you to meet their goals?
Think outside your function and department, and think holistically.
1. Discuss your expectations with your service provider.
Make sure your expectations regarding timelines and quality levels
are realistic. Ask your internal service provider what you must
provide so they can meet your needs. Ask what their process is,
and understand what is involved in delivering your request on time,
and meeting your quality standards.
2. Use effective time management practices. Once you understand
your service provider's process, develop your time line for delivering
the request. Certainly 'emergencies' happen, and service providers
can be pressured to meet tight deadlines. However, customers who
consistently expect providers to 'bend the rules' to meet emergency
deadlines strain their service providers and disrupt everyone's
priorities. Customers who operate in 'emergency' mode have a negative
impact on the workflow as a whole, and cheat others who have planned
more realistically.
3. Provide all information needed to fill your request. In
your original request, include sufficient information to allow the
provider to adequately estimate the time and resources needed. Be
prepared to provide additional information requested by the provider.
4. Always be professional. Honor the provider's priorities,
workflow, and processes. Do not expect 'exceptions' to the rule,
especially if poor planning has created your urgency. If your work
were delayed due to another customer's 'crisis', how would it impact
your goals?

For perimeter players: One player starts on the right wing (player #1) and the other starts opposite on the left wing (player #2). Player #1 on the right wing shoots, follows the shot, rebounds and passes out to #2 on the left wing. Player #1 then spots up at another place on the perimeter.
Player #2 takes the shot, follows it, rebounds, and passes to #1, who is now spotted up in a different location. This rotation continues, with the players moving around to all the locations that they will normally shoot from in a game... corners, top of the key, etc. For a variation, do the same drill but instead of spot stationary shooting, have the shooter fake the shot, dribble adjust, and then take the jumper.
For post players: Use the same drill as above except the post players should be taking their shots inside, in the paint, around the hoop, and can actually work on their post-up moves. After rebounding, the player can dribble the ball out and pass down into the post to his partner.
See this video (courtesy of Tom Nordland) and the wonderful shooting form of several great shooters who were taught using Tom Nordland's Swish method

MAKE 'EM LAUGH Paul Pirie demonstrates laughing yoga techniques during a recent meeting of the Burlington-Oakville Laughter Club. The group meets Tuesdays at the Burlington Sailing & Boating Club.
Judi Bradford, Joe Gracie and Paul Pirie share a laugh or two.
FUNNY FACE BE MERRY: Certified laughing yoga instructor Marja Pirie performs fun techniques for members of the Burlington-Oakville Laughter Club.
Go ahead. Make your day. Laugh.
Nothing funny to chuckle about? It doesn't matter.
Real or fake, laughing is reported to be good for your mind and body.
And that's why more than a dozen people pile into the Burlington Sailing & Boating Club every Tuesday night for their 40-minute weekly dose of laughter.
Class clown Marja Pirie leads members of the Burlington-Oakville Laughter Club into a session of silliness. It's an ironic role for the retired math teacher from Burlington's M.M. Robinson High School.
She learned the crazy craft from laughter yoga guru Dr. Madan Kataria.
It's his belief that the muscles put into action when a person laughs are the same used while doing traditional yoga.
And the health impacts on the body are no different whether the laughter is sincere or phony.
By practising with hearty, Santa style ho-ho-hos and ha-ha-has, abdominal muscles tighten, the lungs open up drawing in oxygen for the blood and mood-lifting endorphins are released.
"You can laugh as easily as putting one foot in front of the other," said Pirie.
Studies also suggest that 20 seconds of mirthful laughter produce the same aerobic effects as three minutes of rowing and one minute of laughter rids the body of the negative impacts of stress for one hour.
Further research also states that laughter boosts the immune system and reduces blood pressure.
Pirie has felt these impacts first-hand.
"I've always been a person who took life pretty seriously."
The beauty of laughter yoga is that a sense of humour, light-hearted attitude or resident comedian isn't necessary for a workout.
Stressed after teaching 30 years and strained by the death of her mom, she turned to laughter yoga in October 2004.
With her teaching credentials in hand, she started the club and travelled into homes, boardrooms and conducted workshops encouraging people to let go of their inhibitions and just laugh.
Some of the exercises she teaches include putting your hands up over your head and taking in a deep breath then bending down slowly and exhaling with a succession of ho-ho-hos and ha-ha-has.
The lion laugh encourages participants to wave their hands at each side of their head, open their eyes wide and stick out their tongue while laughing.
It is because laughter is infectious that, in short order, members in the meeting room quickly engage in silly antics and each one unleashes their own brand of uproarious glee.
"We sound crazy, I know," said club member Joe Graci. "But it's fun and certainly changes your outlook."
Local acupuncturists Cindy Zhang and Lifu Song regularly attend the local meetings and recommend the club to their patients.
"It's very healing to laugh -- it lets go of the stresses of the day," said Zhang.
Song is also her husband and in attending these exercise sessions together, it has brought more joy into their relationship, she added.
In the 11 years since Dr. Kataria introduced his quirky exercises, 5,000 laughter clubs have been formed in 40 countries.
The Oakville-Burlington laughter club is open to anyone interested in dropping in to learn, observe and give the exercises a try, said Pirie.
There are no fees to attend or pre-registration required, although a nominal donation to help cover the cost of room rental is appreciated.
Meetings run from 7-8:30 p.m. For more information log on to www.laughteryoga.org.

Can this merger be consummated? Dual Sprint-Nextel phones are a start but more needs to be done
Summary: For the year and a half since the Sprint-Nextel merger, the companies have struggled to combine disparate systems and technologies.Now, they've made a tangible step forward.
For the year and a half since the Sprint-Nextel merger, the companies have struggled to combine disparate systems and technologies.
Now, they've made a tangible step forward.
SprintNextel has just announced two phones that will function on both the Sprint and Nextel networks- Nextel's iDEN and Sprint's CDMA.
Both are Motorola PowerSource phones.
The clamshell Buzz ic502 weighs 4.1 ounces, is suggested at $249.99 but can be had for $59.99 with a two-year contract.
Take a look:
Meanwhile the Blend ic402 will sell for a suggested $229.99 list price or $39.99 with a two-year plan.
Coming at ya:
OK, SprintNextel, there's a start. Now, do you think you could integrate your Sprint and Nextel billing system, as well as offer a seamless experience in your stores? Right now when I, a customer, go into a Sprint-branded store whose legacy is as a Nextel store, I am still more likely to see Nextel equipment and encounter Nextel-knowledgeable employees.
These phones are a start, but before this merger can be said to be consummated,integration on the services sides also must be achieved.
Is that too much to ask?

Paper Moon Diner - Balto
I'm going tonight around 7. What should I get?
I hear good things about an espresso milkshake.
"I'm going tonight around 7. What should I get?"
As far away as possible.
You should really go someplace else.
The food is pretty awful, and the place non too clean. The servers are a little strange as well.
I agree with the rest. Its not worth the trip unless its three am and your drunk. Dizzy izzies is a good suggestion, excellent burgers.
I generally stick to the omelettes. They're not the best, but decent. Burgers aren't good at all.
I tend to agree with those who find it a far better option for after going to the Ottobar than before,
I wound up getting a turkey burger, fries, and a diet coke. My buddy got the monte cristo and we shared the fried ravioli. The turkey burger was a bit underwhelming but not awful and the fries were ok. I found the ravioli to be tasty but the sauce on the side was watery. It looked like the monte cristo was good.
We didn't find the place to be dirty at all. It did look like they were refinishing (or at least really cleaning) the floor in one of the dining rooms.
The service, once we got some was good. I was sitting there at least five minutes before the waitress showed up (we were sitting at the counter) but once she took our order, everything moved like clockwork. I think we were asked three times each for a drink refill.
I'd go back but try the omelet or some non-burger sandwich.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma City police are investigating after a man died after he was taken into police custody.
Police say the incident happened Friday afternoon at a gas station in Oklahoma City. According to police, officers were called to the gas station to investigate reports of a person trying to force his way into several vehicles.
Once there, officers encountered 28-year-old Oral Allen Murray and used "physical force" to take Murray to the ground. Police say no weapons were used against Murray.
Police say Murray was handcuffed and placed in an air-conditioned patrol car. Authorities say officers interviewed witnesses and later noticed that Murray was in "medical distress." He was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The cause of death is still under investigation.

Region: Third Ward
It was the late 1950s when German painter Raimund Girke and his contemporaries turned away from abstract expressionism and explored reductive styles and techniques. For the new exhibit "Raimund Girke 1930-2002, Investigating White,"Gallery Sonja Roesch has brought together a group of his works that explore white as a color. Using a mostly monochromatic color palette, Girke infuses what many of us see as the absence of color with movement, complexity and structure. There's an opening reception with the late artist's daughter, Madeleine Girke, 5 to 7 p.m., September 10. Regular viewing hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Redefining Solar Cell Production with Ultra-Thin Silicon WafersBy Kent Harrington | Comments (0)
Co-founders Siva Sivaram and Chris Petti just brought Twin Creeks Technologies out of stealth mode and unveiled the Hyperion 3, a machine they claim will dramatically cut the use of silicon in solar cell production by using high-energy protons to carve silicon wafers into ultra-thin layers. This disruptive change threatens the way things have been typically done in the solar cell industry, but that's exactly what Sivaram and Petti, along with an experienced group of engineers and venture capitalists, want to do. In the Twin Creeks's Senatobia, Mississippi facility, the two founders stand next to the Hyperion 3, a huge 12-foot appliance, which is 350 sq/ft, and easily the size of large, jacked-up Winnebago that towers over its creators and the spacious factory floor. It outputs 6 MW of modules per year (up from two previous versions), and the company expects to improve it to 10 MW/year. "We can make less than $0.40/W cells today," Sivaram says, with $0.20/W for silicon and just $0.20/W for processing. Today's rooftop solar PV panels take two years to pay back the power used to create them, he points out; "we can do it in 25 days."

The brand of synth-pop that Nika Roza Danilova makes as Zola Jesus is as monumental as it is ethereal. She's stated before that she wants to be No. 1 on the Billboard chart, and anyone who catches her cosmic set live might agree that the goal might not be far off. Here, she's touting a sparkling new album, Taiga—her fifth full length, and first for the Mute label.

UPDATE: The city said Tuesday that the closure plans have changed. Read more here.ARLINGTON - Five at-grade railroad crossings along a 2.5-mile stretch of Division Street running through downtown Arlington will close for at least four days Wednesday, creating a travel headache for drivers and a logistical nightmare for schools and emergency responders.The closures of Arlington's at-grade rail crossings, which will move to Collins Street and Stadium Drive next week, is part of Union Pacific's $30 million project to renew 35 miles of railroad track between Fort Worth and Dallas. This week's closures are from Bowen Road on the west to Mesquite Street on the east."It's going to disrupt commute times, but we all have to live with it," said Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck, who encouraged motorists to carefully plan their routes before leaving home.Only five roads across Arlington cross either over or under the tracks: West Green Oaks Boulevard, Forest Edge Drive, Fielder Road, West Street and Texas 360. Central Arlington residents trying to go north or south this week will likely use the Fielder Road overpass on the west or the West Street underpass on the east.The eight-day project is designed to strengthen the rail for heavy commercial traffic and reduce the need for maintenance work, which could cause train traffic delays, Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said.Besides laying new rail on the northern track, crews will replace 90,000 wooden ties with more durable concrete ties, change 24 track switches and renew roadway surfaces at 45 crossings in Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie and Dallas."While this is a project that does present some logistical challenges, it will improve the transportation infrastructure in the Dallas-Fort Worth area," Espinoza said. "We are doing our best to conduct the project in the most efficient manner. We do realize it's an inconvenience."Crews began work Jan. 3 in Fort Worth and are expected to complete the project in Dallas by March 7. Union Pacific is expected to finish the 13-mile stretch of track through Arlington by Jan. 24.The southern track between Fort Worth and Dallas will be replaced at a later date.A public meeting on the Arlington portion of the project is set for 6 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 101 W. Abram St.Patience requiredUnion Pacific's track renewal train, with a 250-man crew, will simultaneously remove and replace the rail and ties. Using cranes, the track renewal train can install up to 5,000 ties in 12 hours, Espinoza said."This is an impressive machine. Before this, when we would take on these types of projects, everything had to be done by hand," she said.The track and wooden ties will be recycled, she said.Motorists needing to cross the tracks, which run parallel to Division Street through the center of Arlington, should expect delays and detours during the eight-day project.The at-grade crossings at Bowen Road, Davis Drive and Cooper, Center and Mesquite streets will close first.They will reopen as the track renewal train moves east, forcing the closings of the Collins Street and Stadium Drive crossings for about four days.The city will deploy police officers to help manage traffic flow and keep routes open for emergency personnel.First responders typically stationed south of the rail line will be temporarily relocated so they can more easily respond to emergencies in the northern section of the city, officials said."We have planned for this and have done our best to prepare for all scenarios from a public safety perspective as well as traffic management," Councilman Robert Rivera said. "Ultimately, people will get to where they need to be, but patience will definitely be required."With the unprecedented number of crossing closures, the city of Arlington will share footage from its traffic camera network with the public for the first time.The city will post regularly updated still shots from 27 select traffic cameras on its website, MyArlingtonTx.com, during the eight-day project so motorists can see traffic conditions near particular crossings before they begin their trips, spokeswoman Rebecca Rodriguez said."We are in a position to offer drivers in Arlington news that is specific to Arlington. While we appreciate our local metro coverage, you can't expect those traffic helicopters to hover over Arlington for four days."We have our own traffics cameras; why not make them available to drivers?"The footage on the website won't be live to the public will be refreshed every three to five minutes, she said. The website will also reflect which at-grade crossings are open or closed daily.School bus headachesBecause the Arlington school district's bus barn is south of the tracks, bus drivers who transport students to the 13 campuses north of Division Street will begin their day about 30 minutes earlier, district Transportation Director Colleen Martin said."We're having daily meeting with our people to prepare them for this," Martin said.Communicating about possible changes to pickup and dropoff times with parents of approximately 950 special-needs students who ride a bus is a concern of the district.Depending on their needs, some of those students may attend a campus across town from their homes, which would mean the drivers would need to cross the tracks twice.Bus drivers will contact those parents directly to let them know their expected pickup and dropoff times based on traffic, Martin said.Union Pacific does regular maintenance on tracks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Espinoza said. Recent work includes replacing all the wooden ties in 2008 and replacing portions of the rail in 2009 and 2010, she said."We inspect these lines on a regular basis multiple times a week. Anytime we find any issues, we do address those right away," she said.Espinoza said it would take 300 trucks to transport the same amount of freight as a double-stacked intermodal train."This is an important east-west route that businesses across the country use to ship their goods. These intermodal trains are carrying clothing, televisions, kitchen appliances, anything you find in a big-box store."Those are items we use every day," Espinoza said. "If those goods were traveling by truck, our freeways and streets would be really clogged. We want to make sure we have a strong infrastructure to support these businesses."There is one bit of good news for city planners: The Cowboys will not be hosting the NFC Championship game on Sunday, which means one less traffic headache.Susan Schrock, 817-709-7578Twitter: @susanschrock

sXe_Maverick - <3
So you've red repped me 5 times? In what a week?
Thats fine my friend, but do you care to give me a valid reason for each red rep?
Rather than just a full stop.
I know you have lots of vocabulary in that little head of yours :rolleyes:
I could rep you back everytime, but I don't fancy it.....
Its a little pety.
Plus I wouldnt remember to do so.
Its nice that a cross your mind everytime you come on the forum and really, Im touched.
Care to explain each Red Rep?
Was it because of each post you didn't agree with?
Or are you just that pety and that much a twat?
I'll go with the later until proved otherwise.
Love you Maverick Baby :p
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
I would give you green rep were it not for Maverick.
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
He might just not like you.
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Another red rep rant.
We're entitled to one every week.
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Im not one to rant to often, I actually class myself as a pretty calm member of the forum :lmao
But its rather strange when someone red reps you that many times in a short time.
It would just be nice to have a little explanation after each one, if thats not to hard...
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Maverick red reps me all the time. That shit get annoying. I can make a post saying "God is good" and he'll red rep me with no comment or reason given as to why.
According to SVET, thats bullying.
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Maybe it's because you're a clumsy ass.
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
Damn right, bullied on an online forum.... :sad:
Re: sXe_Maverick - <3
As for sXe_Maverick, I got most of my red reps from him.. woopty fucking doo.

varsha5 Started The Discussion:
I had a query regarding issue of salary slip every month to employees. We are a software company and are thinking of emailing every employee their salary slip i.e. soft copy instead of printout. At present also the salary slip we provide - it is stated clearly that 'it is a computer generated salary slip and does not require stamp or signature'.
I believe that if any employee wants to alter facts of his salary slip he can do even in the hard copy which has been signed and stamped, so what is wrong if a soft copy of salary slip is emailed to employees every month. also by providing soft copy we save paper which is required in today's world and also part of corporate social responsibility.
I would be glad if you all can provide insights on the same issue.
pradeepullanat - Member Since: Jan 2009
Hi varsha,
This is a very good concern. You can give soft copy by email, but only in printable format. You have to confirm that no one can ammend this. Rest if they want, they can do it from out side also. But you are safe from the management view.
Best regards,
mani.ragi - Member Since: Jul 2009
Just add this line at the end of pay slip
"This being a computer generated payslip, no signature required".
Use Mail merge with word and excel where u can send 3 types of format like word,plain text and html..........
Neer300182 - Member Since: Aug 2009
Dear Varsha,
Greetings for the day :)
I have a better suggestion for you, why dont you use format converter i.e u can create a salary slip in excel or word but when u want to send these copies to employees just use format converter and convert these copies into pdf format so that there will be no possiblities of ammendment
I hope it can resolve your problem
frankkt - Member Since: Feb 2007
Hi Varsha,
The concern you have is one that most HR managers have. What ever you try there is no way you can stop a person from changing/altering the electronic salary slip ( even with pdf or any other doc ). A simple screen shot and modification with MS paint , you can do anything. There is no way you can stop this. If the person does submit the pay-slip to another company, they should verify it with the issuing company. If you can use free pdf converters like Cute pdf Writer or others as send it as an attachment.
All the best
Shanu_shah - Member Since: Nov 2009
You should convert the salary slip into pdf format and then send. This will unable the alterations. Hence it would safe and easy as well as reliable to provide the Esalary slips. Regards
sharmaneesu - Member Since: Feb 2008
Hi Varsha,
all are right. we give them in pdf format always. thought it can also amend but with lot of efforts. so not everyone will do that.
exceptions are always there in every case, technology can be hacked by many ways. so dont think so much but use only printable formats not word or excel formats which are easy to edit.
rajivranjan67 - Member Since: Jan 2010
Hi Versha
have trust on the employees. In my Company we are using it since last 6 years and there is no disclaimer also.
It's in the inetrnal web site which one access by personal password for his own salary slip.
There is no issue involved in providing salary slips through e-mail. This in turn enables centralization of salary preparation and at the same time sending it across to employees positioned anywhere in the world .

kicchagee - Member Since: Feb 2010
We use to convert to pdf and send it our employees. As mentioned by Mr. Kapil of Siemens, Nishu and others, it is always better to send it in pdf rather than in excel or word.

how to mount tapered beam racquets on 6-pt?
I have strung a few times on my new 6-pt mount machine, and everything has been great. Now I have my first tapered beam frame to string, a Head FXP Instinct (23/25/21 beam), and I am puzzled at how to get this one to work with the side mounts. The 3 and 9 parts of the head are wider than the head/throat, so the side mounts won't fit underneath the frame without raising up the throat and/or head of the racquet. How is this typically handled?
that is fine, just make sure that al the supports are sufficently tight
ps: what machine?
I have the racquet mounted now, and the throat is mounted touching the base. with all the side mounts adjusted, the head is a few mm above the base. so you are saying it is just fine for me to string like this? I just want to make sure before i start.
by the way, it is a mutual power 7600. I couldnt be happier with it so far.
The head and throat areas don't need to be on the base of the tower. It's more important to have the racquet on the bottom surface of the side mounts.
thanks! this place is amazing.
How is teh 7600 now that the clamps work? Are they working well?
everything has been excellent so far. the crank works very smoothly, and the clamps are very easy to use.

Still, less than two weeks after its release, "The Power of Introverts" has racked up an impressive 1 million views on YouTube.

Ibogaine - Effective Addiction Therapy and Treatment
The 'I Begin Again' organization is the world's first Ibogaine Treatment Center to offer psychotherapeutic Ibogaine treatment and opiate detox therapy sessions to the public.
We are the original treatment facility to incorporate medically supervised ibogaine therapy within a holistically balanced medical setting in Costa Rica, Thailand and Czech Republic.
Twenty two years ago, we discovered an ancient natural tribal remedy in the Tabernanthe Iboga shrub native to Gabon and other nations in West Central Africa. This substance is called Ibogaine and it has long been used in shamanic rituals of initiation and spiritual quests.
In more recent times Ibogaine and its metabolite have shown a remarkable ability to interrupt various substance addictions. With the help of the ibogaine alkaloid, a natural hydrochloride extract, addicted individuals can experience symptom-free withdrawal. Through the unique binding activity of the metabolite, noribogaine at euphoriant receptor sites, Ibogaine therapy offers a true full physiological release from chemical dependency. With a very specific type of counseling following ibogaine treatment, patients are able to focus on underlying causes to heal the psychological aspects of addiction as well.
Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance. It is frequently reported that subjects using Ibogaine experience visions of an informative or healing nature directly relating to the problem that prompted them to seek help. Some undergo Ibogaine therapy for treatment of substance abuse, others seek spiritual or emotional growth. For the addict, both can be accomplished at the same time. Often spiritual or emotional damage is at the heart of a substance abuse problem, and this healing is vital to true recovery.Ibogaine brings about addiction interruption by neurochemically transporting the addict to a physically and psychologically pre-addicted state, where they can evaluate their habits from the standpoint of a non-addict without having to suffer through any terrifying withdrawal symptoms.
I Begin Again treatment centers have been advancing the standard in dosing and safety protocols for over a decade. Ibogaine practitioners, Eric Taub and Lex Kogan have improved on the primary methods associated with classical ibogaine therapy techniques. Methods such as Staircase Dosing and Low Wave therapy protocols have been found to increase a patient's sense of well being post treatment more so than traditional methods.
Many Ibogaine treatment centers throughout the west have sought to offer the best possible ibogaine treatment experience for the most affordable price. Ibogaine clinics usually either specialize in a medically supervised environment or a retreat-like atmosphere. I Begin Again treatment centers have been recognized as the first clinics to offer full medical supervision while supporting a natural and relaxing setting for opiate detox as well as psycho spiritual introspection.
Many differing schools of thought have been showcased throughout the industry regarding methods and protocols associated with differing opioid compounds. Ibogaine Suboxone therapy (buprenorphine), for example, has been widely misunderstood and continues to be seen in controversial light due to multiple clinics offering various forms of treatment for prior users of Suboxone related opioid replacement therapies. There are many ways to treat suboxone related opioid addictions, however, there are a few universal rules that apply to all users of buprenorphine containing medications. Thanks to the combined knowledge of ibogaine pioneers, Eric Taub and Lex Kogan, all of I Begin Again's Ibogaine treatment centers across the globe offer the most straightforward experienced instructions on Suboxone and Ibogaine preparation methods. Ibogaine Methadone treatment protocols are also customized on an individual level and Methadone addicted patients will receive a full medical review prior to being evaluated as a candidate for an Ibogaine Opioid-detox therapy session. See more information.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Evan Longoria snapped an eighth-inning tie with an RBI single, leading the Tampa Bay Rays past the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 Wednesday night for David Price's club-record 16th victory.
Price (16-6) allowed a solo homer to John Buck, a double and two infield singles over eight innings. The 25-year-old left-hander walked two and struck out seven before Rafael Soriano worked the ninth for his major league-leading 40th save in 42 opportunities.
Sean Rodriguez homered, tripled and singled off Blue Jays starter Shaun Marcum. Rodriguez was denied a chance to go for the cycle when he was intentionally walked to load the bases after Longoria delivered his go-ahead hit off Scott Downs.

Since the Second Vatican Council there has been a strong emphasis in the documents on the Liturgy with regards to singing the actual texts of the Mass rather than just singing at Mass. It is now 3 years since we began using the new translation of the Mass. It is now obligatory that only the new translation be used. As yet, we have no setting of the Gloria.
During the summer months we will attempt to remedy this as well as mastering the two alternative acclamations after the Consecration. The basic settings contained in the Missal are printed on the white sheets at the end of the benches in church.
A CD containing the official settings is available at the back of church for those who would like to hear them sung properly and learn them.
You can also play and download the responses below. To save the MP3 files, right click on 'MP3' and 'Save As':
During August there will be one or two opportunities for those who wish to, to practice together. Hopefully in time we will be able to master three or four settings of the Mass.

Book Description:
Vladimir Nabokov was hailed by Salman Rushdie as the most important writer ever to cross the boundary between one language and another. A Russian emigre who began writing in English after his forties, Nabokov was a trilingual author, equally competent in Russian, English, and French. A gifted and tireless translator, he bridged the gap between languages nimbly and joyously. Here, collected for the first time in one volume as Nabokov always wished, are many of his English translations of Russian verse, presented next to the Russian originals. Here, also, are some of his notes on the dangers and thrills of translation. With an introduction by Brian Boyd, author of the prize-winning biography of Nabokov, Verses and Versions is a momentous and authoritative contribution to Nabokov's published works.

Piedmont Sewer Repair Project
Environmental Services is designing three large-scale sewer projects in North and Northeast Portland neighborhoods to replace or repair approximately 56,000 feet of public sewer pipes that are on average 90 years old and failing due to age. This is the equivalent of over 10 miles of sewer pipes. The three adjacent project areas will include construction in Piedmont, Humboldt, Woodlawn and King neighborhoods plus a few blocks in Overlook.
In the Piedmont neighborhood, the work will include repairing about 11,000 feet of sewer pipes throughout the neighborhood. The sewer repairs will enhance livability by improving sewer and stormwater infrastructure, increasing sewer capacity, and reducing the risks of street flooding and sewage releases to homes, businesses and streets. Construction in Piedmont is anticipated to begin in June 2015.
Project Area
The general project boundaries, soil sampling locations, and pipe locations proposed for repair or replacement are illustrated in the map below.
It is too early in the process to identify what types of construction methods will be used where.
Three locations noted on the map below are part of the 2014 CIPP Project. Nearby residents and businesses will be notified when work will occur at those locations.
Soil Sampling
For approximately two weeks beginning on August 25, work crews will be drilling holes in street pavement and taking soil samples at several locations to help the design engineers understand conditions that construction crews may encounter (see map on back). What the engineers learn from analysis of soil, rock and pavement samples will help them determine construction methods.
What to Expect During Soil Sampling
Soil sampling will occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Crews will work at two locations a day beginning Monday, August 25. The holes will be a few inches in diameter and will be filled immediately after the drilling is completed. This work may require temporary lane restrictions and on-street parking closures. There may be brief periods of noise, dust and mild vibration during drilling. Work at each location will last approximately one hour.
Crews will also be digging five test pits, measuring four feet by four feet, with a track-hoe. The pits will be repaved with asphalt once digging is completed. The pit locations are:
- N Farragut Street between N Albina and N Kerby avenues
- N Kerby Avenue between N Rosa Parks Way and N Dekum Street
- N Buffalo Street between N Albina and N Kerby avenues
- N Commercial Avenue between N Rosa Parks Way and N Dekum Street
- N Missouri Avenue between N Bryant and N Morgan streets
Locating and Marking Underground Utilities
All sewer design and construction projects depend on advance surveys of construction areas. A few weeks before soil sampling starts, crews will locate and mark underground utilities by painting stripes on streets and sidewalks or placing colored flags in landscaped areas. Each color indicates what is buried below. The color code is as follows:
- White = proposed excavation
- Pink = temporary survey markings
- Red = electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables
- Yellow = gas, oil, steam, petroleum or gaseous materials
- Blue = potable water
- Purple = reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines
- Green = sewer and drain lines
Other Work in the Area
For approximately the next two to three months, work crews will be conducting soil sampling and survey work at several locations in adjacent neighborhoods as well, including Humboldt, Woodlawn, King and a few blocks in Overlook.
Survey crews will be working on the sidewalks and streets in front of several properties in the Piedmont neighborhood, measuring the elevation of first floors and looking at houses to see if they can see a basement. Survey crews will work in the public right-of-way using non-invasive methods and equipment. They will not need to enter private property.
This analysis will help design engineers determine if the proposed sewer lines will be able to handle the amount of sewage generated from the homes on that particular street. This information will help us design a system to reduce the chance of basement sewer backups.
Trucks will also be in Piedmont and adjacent neighborhoods using video equipment to inspect the interior of public sewer pipes. This will involve lowering equipment into a manhole and directing a robotic camera through the sewer pipe. Engineers will use this information to determine if pipes need to be replaced or repaired.
For More Information
Contact Rhetta Drennan at 503-823-6006. During construction, we will be sending regular email updates to keep you posted about the schedule, construction activities, possible traffic detours and delays, parking restrictions and other impacts. We encourage you to sign up now to be added to the project's email update list. Send an email to Rhetta Drennan with "Piedmont" in the subject line to receive project updates by email.
Please let us know if you have concerns such as business operations, disability issues or medical or business deliveries.

I can't remember who said it, but the comment was made that historically humans only lived until their 50's so marriages didn't last much past 30 years or so. But now we can expect to live into our 80's. And with living so long, how can we expect to be monogamous?
Made me want to gag.
It's a divorce. Don't make it all sparkly and lovely.

Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
I don't judge them for having their own view of marriage as a relationship that lasts as long as it lasts. Some people have open marriages. Some people are committed forever. Some people want one type of marriage and end up with a different type and become scarred by that. If this couple went into the marriage with an agreement about the type of marriage they were engaging in, abided by that agreement, and are now ready to end it, I'm certainly not going to shame them for it.
Yeah she's completely pretentious, but she's probably feeling the grief and loss that most people feel when a marriage ends, whether it is an amicable split or not.

I think the idea of divorce as something that isn't a punitive hell is good - nobody should be stuck in a relationship that they don't want to be in. I think it's kind of sad that people need to try and word it differently in hoping to achieve that. Also, if you're going to do that, come up with something that doesn't sound like you're turning off your vibrator. I mean, you add the word viscous to that phrase and we moved this whole thing into the Jolly Roger zone.

Melodee Ramirez's warmth and humility shows through her paintings as you marvel at secrets of nature hiding in plain sight in her newest art exhibit Tales from the Trail: Places I love to be in Texas.
The Time of The Moon 3 clearly demonstrates some features that only her paintings can capture. The serene environment of an early morning in the swamp surrounded by tall trees while staring into the eyes of crocodiles in the distance as they peep out of the water to sniff the freshness of a new dawn is absorbing.
Her exhibit explores the interplay of light and darkness, time and seasons on landscapes as she expresses her memories of trails while walking and kayaking in the swamps of Texas. One is engulfed by the wonders of nature.
Ramirez is a longtime NLC art professor, wife, mother and grandmother who finds peace in the comfort of her studio. She is excited when students with no background in the arts or drawing skills come into her program and graduate shocked because of what they achieve in one semester. Ramirez believes that everyone is capable of painting great pictures; all one needs is a medium to express the picture in your mind.
Ramirez modifies Renaissance-era techniques for her oil on canvas paintings. Her manipulation of oil on canvas or on the board as her media demonstrates her mastery of these techniques. She layers the oil in a manner that reflects the expression of the sun of the expression as it illuminates a scene and how living organisms respond to various times of the day or season. The Moondance series needs to be viewed together to reveal the story of how the egret finds his mate to consummate the love affair with the recognition that time and season waits for no one. Ramirez explores the concept of time and life in her expressions of mortality versus eternity through the Eternal Circle series of paintings. Both are part of the exhibit.
Ramirez loves walking the Trails of Texas, and this gives her the opportunity to see nature up-close and to study her environment. It is unbelievable that so many colors are available in the Texas climate. Ramirez's work makes you want to book your next trail trip because in every season, and at different times of the day, she pulls out the color nature presents to life. Her artistic sensibilities are delicate, powerful and sensuous.
"Understanding the meaning of life and death is one of the primary questions throughout the history of art," said Ramirez.
The exhibition Tales from the Trails is like taking a breath of fresh Texas air.
The exhibition runs from March 18 to April 14 in the Gallery.

main index
The Difference Engine is a 1990 alternate history novel written collaboratively by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It is a prime example of the steampunk sub-genre, often considered the Genre Popularizer.It posits a Victorian Britain circa 1855 in which a great wave of technological and social change has occurred after entrepreneurial inventor Charles Babbage succeeded in his ambition to build a mechanical computer (actually his analytical engine rather than the difference engine). Among the many various changes that arise as a result of this innovation are an even more powerful British Empire, a Divided States of America, an early Communist Revolution in Manhattan led by Karl Marx himself, steam-powered gurneys (this timeline's equivalent of cars), and the premature invention of "camphorated cellulose" (what we know as plastic).The story follows Sybil Gerard, a political courtesan and daughter of an executed Luddite leader (she is borrowed from Benjamin Disraeli's novel Sybil); Edward "Leviathan" Mallory, a paleontologist and explorer who comes into a lot of money thanks to a good bet on an advanced steam gurney model; and Laurence Oliphant, a historical figure with a real career, as portrayed in the book, as a travel writer whose work was a cover for espionage activities "undertaken in the service of Her Majesty".Linking all their stories is the trail of a mysterious set of reportedly very powerful camphorated cellulose computer punch cards and the individuals fighting to obtain them; as is the case with special objects in several novels by Gibson, the punch cards are to some extent a MacGuffin.
Tropes present in this work include:
