Alternative Dispute Resolution |
Conflict resolution, otherwise known as Reconciliation, is conceptualized as the methods and processes involved in facilitating the peaceful ending of conflict and retribution. Often, committed group members attempt to resolve group conflicts by actively communicating information about their conflicting motives or ideologies to the rest of the group (e.g., intentions; reasons for holding certain beliefs), and by engaging in collective negotiation.[1] Dimensions of resolution, typically parallel the dimensions of conflict in the way the conflict is processed. Cognitive resolution is the way disputants understand and view the conflict, with beliefs and perspectives and understandings and attitudes. Emotional resolution is in the way disputants feel about a conflict, the emotional energy. Behavioral resolution is how one thinks the disputants act,their behavior. [2] Ultimately, a wide range of methods and procedures for addressing conflict exist, including but not limited to, negotiation, mediation, diplomacy, and creative peacebuilding.
The term conflict resolution may also be used interchangeably with dispute resolution, where arbitration and litigation processes are critically involved. Furthermore, the concept of conflict resolution can be thought to encompass the use of nonviolent resistance measures by conflicted parties in an attempt to promote effective resolution. For examples of large-scale civil resistance campaigns, see Civil Resistance and Power Politics: The Experience of Non-violent Action from Gandhi to the Present.[3] Conflict resolution as an academic field is relatively new. George Mason University in Fairfax, VA was the first university to offer a PhD program.
The dual concern model of conflict resolution is a conceptual perspective that assumes individuals' preferred method of dealing with conflict is based on two underlying themes or dimensions:[1]
According to the model, group members balance their concern for satisfying personal needs and interests with their concern for satisfying the needs and interests of others in different ways. The intersection point between these two dimensions ultimately lead individuals towards exhibiting different styles of conflict resolution (Goldfien & Robbennolt, 2007).[4] The dual model identifies five conflict resolution styles/strategies that individuals may use depending on their dispositions toward pro-self or pro-social goals.
1. Avoidance conflict style
2. Yielding conflict style
3. Competitive conflict style
4. Cooperation conflict style
5. Conciliation conflict style
Wars may occur between warring parties who contest an incompatibility. The nature of an incompatibility can either be territorial or governmental but a warring party must be a "government of a state or any opposition organisation or alliance of organisations that uses armed force to promote its position in the incompatibility in an intrastate or an interstate armed conflict."[9] Wars sometimes conclude with a peace agreement, defined as a "formal agreement between warring parties, which addresses the disputed incompatibility, either by settling all or part of it, or by clearly outlining a process for how the warring parties plan to regulate the incompatibility."[10] A Ceasefire is another form of agreement between waring parties but unlike a peace agreement it only "regulates the conflict behaviour of warring parties... [and] does not address the incompatibility."[11]
Peacekeeping measures may be deployed to avoid violence in solving such incompatibilities.[12] Beginning in the last century, political theorists have been developing the theory of a global peace system that relies upon broad social and political measures to avoid war in the interest of achieving world peace.[13] A Blue Peace Approach developed by Strategic Foresight Group facilitates cooperation between countries over shared water resources, thus reducing the risk of war and enabling sustainable development.
Conflict resolution is an expanding field of professional practice, both in the U.S. and around the world. The escalating costs of conflict have increased use of third parties who may serve as a conflict specialists to resolve conflicts. In fact relief and development organizations have added peace-building specialists to their teams. Many of the major international non-governmental organizations have seen a growing need to hire practitioners trained in conflict analysis and resolution. Furthermore, this expansion of the field has resulted in the need for conflict resolution practitioners to work in a variety of settings such as in businesses, court systems, government agencies nonprofit organizations, government agencies and educational institutions serving throughout the world.
Conflict resolution as both a professional practice and academic field is highly sensitive to culture. In Western cultural contexts, such as Canada and the United States, successful conflict resolution usually involves fostering communication among disputants, problem solving, and drafting agreements that meet their underlying needs. In these situations, conflict resolvers often talk about finding the win-win solution, or mutually satisfying scenario, for everyone involved (see Fisher and Ury (1981), Getting to Yes). In many non-Western cultural contexts, such as Afghanistan, Vietnam, and China, it is also important to find "win-win" solutions; however, getting there can be very different. In these contexts, direct communication between disputants that explicitly addresses the issues at stake in the conflict can be perceived as very rude, making the conflict worse and delaying resolution. Rather, it can make sense to involve religious, tribal or community leaders, communicate difficult truths indirectly through a third party, and make suggestions through stories (see Vinod Swami (1992), Conflict Mediation Across Cultures). Intercultural conflicts are often the most difficult to resolve because the expectations of the disputants can be very different, and there is much occasion for misunderstanding.[citation needed]
Conflict resolution has also been studied in non-humans, like dogs, cats, monkeys, snakes, elephants, and primates (see Frans de Waal, 2000). Aggression is more common among relatives and within a group than between groups. Instead of creating a distance between the individuals, however, the primates were more intimate in the period after the aggressive incident. These intimacies consisted of grooming and various forms of body contact. Stress responses, like an increased heart rate, usually decrease after these reconciliatory signals. Different types of primates, as well as many other species who are living in groups, show different types of conciliatory behaviour. Resolving conflicts that threaten the interaction between individuals in a group is necessary for survival and hence has a strong evolutionary value. These findings contradicted previous existing theories about the general function of aggression, i.e. creating space between individuals (first proposed by Konrad Lorenz), which seems to be more the case in conflicts between groups than it is within groups.
In addition to research in primates, biologists are beginning to explore reconciliation in other animals. Until recently, the literature dealing with reconciliation in non-primates have consisted of anecdotal observations and very little quantitative data. Although peaceful post-conflict behavior had been documented going back to the 1960s, it wasn't until 1993 that Rowell made the first explicit mention of reconciliation in feral sheep. Reconciliation has since been documented in spotted hyenas,[14][15] lions, dolphins,[16] dwarf mongoose, domestic goats,[17] domestic dogs,[18] and, very recently, in red-necked wallabies.[19]
Universities worldwide offer programs of study pertaining to conflict research, analysis, and practice. The Cornell University ILR School houses the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution, which offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional training on conflict resolution.[20] Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding offers a BA and MA with a focus on practical applications in conflict-affected communities and regions. Additional graduate programs are offered at Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins University, and Trinity College Dublin.[21] George Mason University's School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution offers undergraduate, certificate and masters programs in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and a Ph.D. program in The Philosophy in Conflict and Conflict Resolution.[22] Nova Southeastern University offers a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis & Resolution which trains students in the skills and techniques of practice, interdisciplinary research, policy and program development, historical critique, cultural analysis, and theoretical foundations of the field. It is offered in both online and on-campus formats.[23]
Many students completing a doctoral program enter the field as researchers, theorists, analysts, policy makers and professors in higher education.
Furthermore, the Pax Ludens Foundation based in the Netherlands is an organization that puts together conflict resolution simulations set in an International Relations scenario to help students learn about the intricacies of where conflict emerges in the world of international politics.
Conflict resolution is a growing area of interest in UK pedagogy, with teachers and students both encouraged to learn about mechanisms that lead to aggressive action, and those that lead to peaceful resolution.
Tel Aviv University offers two graduate degree programs in the field of conflict resolution, including the English-language International Program in Conflict Resolution and Mediation, affording students to learn in a region which is the subject of much research on international conflict resolution. The Nelson Mandela Center for Peace & Conflict Resolution, Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi is one of the first centers for peace and conflict resolution to be established at an Indian university. It offers a two-year full-time MA course in Conflict Analysis and Peace-Building, as well as a PhD in Conflict and Peace Studies.[24]

Conflict management refers to the long-term management of intractable conflicts. It is the label for the variety of ways by which people handle grievances—standing up for what they consider to be right and against what they consider to be wrong. Those ways include such diverse phenomena as gossip, ridicule, lynching, terrorism, warfare, feuding, genocide, law, mediation, and avoidance.[citation needed] Which forms of conflict management will be used in any given situation can be somewhat predicted and explained by the social structure—or social geometry—of the case.
Conflict management is often considered to be distinct from conflict resolution. In order for actual conflict to occur, there should be an expression of exclusive patterns, and tell why the conflict was expressed the way it was. Conflict is not just about simple inaptness, but is often connected to a previous issue. The latter refers to resolving the dispute to the approval of one or both parties, whereas the former concerns an ongoing process that may never have a resolution. Neither is it considered the same as conflict transformation, which seeks to reframe the positions of the conflict parties.
When personal conflict leads to frustration and loss of efficiency, counseling may prove to be a helpful antidote. Although few organizations can afford the luxury of having professional counselors on the staff, given some training, managers may be able to perform this function. Nondirective counseling, or "listening with understanding", is little more than being a good listener—something every manager should be.[25]
Sometimes the simple process of being able to vent one's feelings—that is, to express them to a concerned and understanding listener, is enough to relieve frustration and make it possible for the frustrated individual to advance to a problem-solving frame of mind, better able to cope with a personal difficulty that is affecting his work adversely. The nondirective approach is one effective way for managers to deal with frustrated subordinates and coworkers.[26]
There are other more direct and more diagnostic ways that might be used in appropriate circumstances. The great strength of the nondirective approach (nondirective counseling is based on the client-centered therapy of Carl Rogers), however, lies in its simplicity, its effectiveness, and the fact that it deliberately avoids the manager-counselor's diagnosing and interpreting emotional problems, which would call for special psychological training. Listening to staff with sympathy and understanding is unlikely to escalate the problem, and is a widely used approach for helping people to cope with problems that interfere with their effectiveness in their place of work.[26]

SPOKANE – The state of Washington's Court of Appeals has upheld a $30,000 fine that was issued to Lloyd Herman of Liberty Lake several years ago for building and developing on the shoreline without authorization. In addition, Herman must remove the unpermitted construction on his lakeside property.
The state Department of Ecology (Ecology) issued the $30,000 penalty in May of 2004. Herman built a large bulkhead, expanded a deck and a concrete platform, built a substantial building on the shoreline, and installed a concrete stairway and numerous retaining walls, all without the proper shoreline permits.
"This is a victory in our ongoing work to protect shorelines from inappropriate development," said Attorney General Rob McKenna. "Thanks to the great work of Assistant Attorney General Thomas Young and our clients at the Department of Ecology, we've affirmed that development must be permitted, properly planned and balanced with environmental protection."
Herman appealed his fine, and the order to remove much of the unpermitted development, to the state's Shoreline Hearings Board. The hearings board upheld Ecology's penalty and order, but suspended a portion of the penalty on condition that Herman restores the site. Herman appealed that decision to Spokane County Superior Court. The Superior Court found that Herman did not need permits for the development and that most of the development should remain in place. Ecology appealed that decision to the Court of Appeals.
This decision by the state Court of Appeals calls the Superior Court's decision "wrong" and upholds the 2004 Shoreline Hearings Board decision.
Herman will now need to comply with that decision by paying the original fine and removing unauthorized structures as directed by the Board. Mr. Herman has 30 days to seek review of the decision with the Supreme Court.

Looks like I won't be getting the upcoming WKRP in Cincinnati: The Complete First Season DVD set after all.
At least, not if this description of music cuts is accurate.
in this DVD release, there's little more half-a-dozen real musical recordings left in. … It's possible that Fox meant well. They'd been getting requests from fans to release it, so they did. And many of the songs that were cut are just incredibly expensive, like Pink Floyd. But ultimately, if they couldn't afford to release the show without more music than included here, this might be one of those cases when they should have turned a deaf ear to fan requests. After all, they knew they couldn't afford to keep the music; we fans didn't. Or perhaps it would have been better to start with a best-of disc, focusing on episodes without much music…
I'm most concerned with cuts to the footage to cover up the changes and the use of the shorter syndication versions for some episodes. When a show's about music and the effect it has on people, releasing such an incomplete version suggests that the studio doesn't understand what they're doing.
I'm reminded of a review of the first-season DVD set of Wiseguy in the New York Times from a few years ago. I skipped the show when it originally aired, and the review made me feel like that was a big mistake. I was all ready to run out and buy the set when I got to the final paragraph, in which the writer described a pivotal scene in the series, and all that enthusiasm got deflated (and I quote):
"When this episode was first broadcast in 1987, the soundtrack swelled with the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" during Vinnie and Sonny's final heart-to-heart. Their eyes — blackened and swollen — locked right at the line, "And I love you, oh, how I love you." It is a profound disappointment that, for contractual reasons, "Nights in White Satin" has been removed from the DVD version. In his commentary, Mr. Wahl also laments the song's absence, "because it really said it all." Especially the parts that went unsaid."
Total bummer. Guess I won't be buying WKRP either.
You know, that didn't bother me as much as did later episodes, which had some horribly canned rock and pop switched out for more expensive songs- any episode set around Vinnie's old neighborhood, in particular, was unlistenable.
Venus Flytrap and Les Nessman are funny no matter what music is played. Plus as a listener to Atlanta's WQXI (Wilson's inspiration for WKRP) back in the 1970s, I love the series as a partial trip through my childhood.
I grew up with a dad who listened to the radio play by play of a baseball game while watching the game on TV with the sound off. So I figure if it's bothersome enough, I'll try a variation on that.
"Related Posts: Planetary/Batman: Night on Earth"
Did Adam West whip out the Bat-Anti-Network-Radio in that story, as well? :)
Sometimes the computer is very good at finding unexpected connections. Sometimes it gets confused. :)
This is really disappointing news. WKRP is one of those shows that I watched over and over in syndication (I saw a lot of it first -run but I was about 11 when it started and didn't get a lot of the jokes first time around) and have vivid memories of a lot of the bits and the music associated with them. I had high hopes after some of the things I'd read lately but perhaps I should have known better.
Les getting ready to attend the awards banquet with anything other than Foreigner's "Hot Blodded" playing just seems wrong.
I remember another classic bit with Johnny and Mr Carlson, with references made to Pink Floyd. If "Animals" is not the album being heard at the moment, it just doesn't work.
Imagine re-reading one of your favorite comic book story-arcs – perhaps in a new deluxe hardcover form after many years of it being out of print- and discovering that key sequences had been re-drawn by some hack no-name loser that you've never heard of. Feelin' any pain now?
I've been waiting for years for WKRP to come out on DVD and while I'd hate for whole scenes to be removed I have no problem with the music being edited, as that was never the reason I loved the show. With the exception of Layla in one scene, I don't even remember the music they used. For me, the show was always about the comedy and characters and it was and always will be one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen. So I'll definitely be buying.
The song use I remember was Elton John's Tiny Dancer — it started playing at the end of an episode where (IIRC) an attempted Russian defector was taken away to return home. He left Bailey, who he was smitten with, saying "Holt me closer, tiny danser." It was a sad moment, and the song's brought it back to me ever since. (At the same time, I could be misremembering it entirely — but that's what the song evokes in me just the same.)
That's my number one music memory of WKRP as well. So heartbreaking.
Re: Tiny Dancer: I remember that episode though not the song use. Perhaps "Almost Famous" has over-written it in my memory.
One other that stands out for me is one where Bailey invited Johnny to go to a movie with her and he forgot to show up. So there's Bailey hanging around the station lobby with that "stood up" look (and, as usual, looking about 3,000 times hotter than Jennifer ever could), while Earth, Wind & Fire's "After The Love Is Gone" plays in the background. THAT one stands out because it's one of the junior-high slow dance classics of my generation.
….which of course underscores why retaining the original music is so important. The tunes really capture the flavor of the era and add a whole extra layer of enjoyment for the people who are mostly likely shell out for a boxed-set of a 25-30 year-old sitcom that never was much of a ratings hit in the first place. It's like "the Graduate" with all the Simon & Garfunkel songs removed.
Things like this make me want to "steal" music off the internet. Watching old movies and shows often remind me of an album I do not have, so I go out and buy it. I guess the only thing worse would be the bluring of the posters in the back ground; but it would not surprise me.
Thanks for the pointers — it's a shame that the show's creator wasn't even told about how extensive the music cuts were until a journalist pointed it out.
[…] was an important part of the show, and the rights have been a problem in the past. There was a first season release in 2007 that made extensive cuts to avoid licensing costs, even to the point of eliminating scenes […]

Tony Tyler's remarks at AVSEC World, which took place in Washington, on 27 October
IATA's Maintenance Cost Task Force (MCTF) started in 1959 as Production Performance Measurement Working Group (PPMWG). It is the only airline volunteer group that gathers and analyzes maintenance cost.
MCTF's mission is to be the focal point on commercial airline Maintenance Costs, including MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) cost strategies.
The MCTF is run by its Steering Committee (SC) made up of airlines, IATA, and OEMs' representatives; up to 12 airlines can have seats on the Steering Committee. The SC meets twice a year; holds quarterly conference calls; and organizes the agenda for the annual Maintenance Cost Conference (MCC). The MCC is MCTF's annual event. The conference is usually held over two days in Fall, in a different location and with a different theme every year. Industry experts give presentations and participate in panel discussions with the MCC delegates. MCTF has developed unique maintenance cost data collection, analysis and reporting toolsets. More than 45 airlines (representing about a quarter of the world's fleet and MRO spend) already take part in this activity. Participating airlines receive exclusive IATA Maintenance Cost Reports with benchmark data, key performance indicators and 5-year trend analysis. Confidentiality is a major concern: reported data is de-identified and/or aggregated. The goal is to have as many airlines as possible to participate and provide quality data and information in a standardized manner. The task force also initiates industry surveys (e.g. aircraft depreciation and maintenance cost capitalization, paperless supply chain, MEL) and projects (e.g. maintenance agreement standardization, aircraft leasing and maintenance reserves) for the benefit of the airline community.
For more information see MCTF flyer (pdf)
Membership to the MCTF is open to all airlines. Participants in the IATAs Strategic Partnership Program can also attend the functions of the group upon request and approval from the Steering Committee.

Forum Post of the Day: Fordragon, Saurfang, and original armor
And just in case you were worried that a CM would get away with making fun of what might have been a serious player question, Drysc gets burned right back when Aure asks if the same thing happened to Shaman armor sets. "Ouch," as many players say, is about right.
Of course, none of the burning actually answers the questions, so I guess that's what we're here for. No, Bolvar probably won't be redone in the expansion: if the King of Stormwind storyline comes to a head, he may be on his way out anyway (although then who would fight off Onyxia's minions?). And be careful what you ask for with Shaman armor -- next thing you know, we'll have totems coming out of our shoulders (actually, that might be pretty cool). And yes, High Overlord Saurfang can punch the whatever he wants out of whoever he wants.

I think I've almost got my mind wrapped around this stuff - but just to be certain, I'd like to clarify one thing. My goal is pretty simple right now: I just want to create a second gentoo installation on a separate partition, which is built from the ground-up using uclibc - I'm still using the same platform/architecture ( i686 ), so I'm not trying to target some different embedded device or anything, and I _do_ want to have a complete toolchain ( including portage ) on this uclibc-based gentoo partion. My intention/aim is to only cross-compile the minimal environment necessary to be able to chroot into this new partition and begin emerging the rest of the software I want, as per a normal/standard gentoo install. Restated, I'm simply after a uclibc-based/built gentoo system. With that said, do I still need to emerge the libraries into a separate "SOMEXTOOLCHAIN" ROOT? Or am I able to somehow just install those same libraries directly into "YOUROTHERROOT" ROOT ( i.e., my separate partition, where I want my uclibc-based gentoo to reside? ) THanks! -- email@example.com mailing list

Coal Miner 1948 -
US did not invent Television
Almost every schoolchild around the world could tell you who invented Television, well almost because in the US they were be certain to get it wrong, It wasn't RCA, not was it Farnsworth, it was a Scotsman by the name of John Logie-Baird. In any documentary in the UK or around the world, it would be accepted the Logie-Baird invented the television, but it would be a fair unbiased documentary which would also point out that others were working on various systems and that there may be others that should have a possible credit, such as several European scientists. It would also mention the work of pioneers in the US, who although certainly have no claim to invent Television, do have a valid claim, for inventing rival systems and for improvements. Why is it that the US continues to put out blatant propaganda that it created Television whilst not even bothering to mention anyone else? I read an in depth review of American TV and it's invention in a notable US magazine that a friend in San Francisco sent to me, it goes into great detail about the invention of Television, but of course solely by the US. My friends in the US were amazed to discover that they had been blatantly lied to, if anybody doubts my views, you always have the internet...try looking!

Behind every great fortune is a crime...
An RCA film that purports to show how RCA invented modern television. Needless to say, it doesn't even hint that RCA stole the relevant technologies from the actual inventor, Philo T.
Farnsworth. It took years of litigation before the courts recognized Farnsworth's claims. RCA's dishonesty would be repeated when it launched a campaign of falsehoods to discredit the CBS color system, which produced color pictures far superior to the RCA system. David Sarnoff was a duplicitous, nasty piece of work. Of course, RCA doesn't exist anymore and NBC is the least-watched TV network---so maybe there's justice after all....

(Up to 1956 that is)
Not bad doc about the many advances television had gone through to 1956. Although padded somewhat at the beginning with a history of how man wanted to see "beyond the valleys" the film gets back on course by telling the many wonders television pioneers, more specifically, RCA, has done. We get to see a very badly done "conversation" between two of them. What could have been an interesting talk just looks like two old men reading from cue cards (and that's what it is). The historical aspect of tv is shown from it's mainstream introduction at the world's fair to them bringing tv on the road, and then! to Color! (film ends at that point (Missing reel?).
The film is somewhat badly spliced but still somewhat interesting to watch.
Iowatvman -
What Color?
I have to wonder if the previous reviewer was watching the same film I was. There's no color footage, faded or otherwise, in the version that's available for download as of 11/8/04. The film ends abruptly just as the announcer begins to describe color television. The MPEG-1 file (the one I watched) ends with leader sprocket noise at the end of the sound track, so I'm sure I downloaded all that was there.
The previous comments about the content were accurate. RCA's policy was always to claim that it exclusively was responsible for the development of both monochrome and color TV. Never mind that RCA fought patent lawsuits with Philo Farnsworth for years (and lost some), and never mind that color TV was a development led by an industry committee. According to the General (Sarnoff), it was RCA and RCA alone. That's not to say that the company's contributions to monochrome and color were insignificant--quite the contrary--but there were others involved as well.
It appears that a fair-sized chunk is missing from this print in the World War II segment. Another copy on archives.org includes more footage of RCA's wartime activities. Unfortunately, the other copy is seriously truncated at both ends, and the quality of the print and transfer isn't as good as this one.
Other comments: Much of the footage of the World's Fair of 1939 and other very early TV was the same as RCA's 1939 "Presentation" film (also on this website). The narrator sounds very much like someone who was a staff announcer for NBC television for many years. That makes sense; use someone already on staff rather than hire a freelancer. I don't know this announcer's name, other than that it definitely was *not* Don Pardo (who was working for NBC at the time, and still does).
I'm withholding one star because of the missing footage. Perhaps some day a complete print will be found.
Christine Hennig -
The Story of Television
This film about the history of television was made by RCA in 1956, so it concentrates on the early stuff. The history presented here is history according to RCA, focusing on the technological advances that could be attributed to RCA and de-emphasizing everything else. A lot of tv "firsts" are shown: first president to be televised, first televised baseball game, etc. David Sarnoff talks with Vladimir Zworykin about television's early development at RCA (and sounds like he's reading from cue cards). The last third of the film suddenly breaks into color (though very poor color) and talks about the development of color television. The whole makes for an interesting combination industrial film and archive of early tv.
David Sarnoff...is obviously reading his
lines...from cue cards.
In an explanation of how color television
works, mention is made of television's
three primary colors: red, blue, and
green. But the film's coloration leads you
to the conclusion that the real three
primary colors are brick red, washed-out
sky blue, and brown.
While extolling NBC's "Spectaculars", title
cards of the various productions are
shown. The title cards suddenly change
to titles of regular series for no good
reason, causing a series of highbrow
theatrical productions to be followed by
"Ding Dong School".

text: 22 September 2013 archive Tweet See all show photos CERTAINLY, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have had money matters on the mind of late. Those much documented tax woes manifested this afternoon in a collection that was quite literally all about the money - ancient gold coins to be precise that looked like they had been dug up on an archaeological excursion - before being polished, naturally. That excursion too, might have extended to a tour of the roman ruins, those as well were a recurring motif this afternoon. It was an imaginary journey, they said, to rediscover ancient Sicily. Coins were blown up to the size of tea plates and joined together to make impressive waist cinchers, or else chain-mailed into a jingling mini dress, while others were suspended in hoop earrings or stuck to barrettes positioned into messy up-dos. Lithographs of sepia-hued, postcard-pretty crumbling columns, Greek temples and theatres were printed over silk dresses; strict and midi length and buttoned all the way up the back, or else, mini and flared with wide sleeves - two silhouettes that Dolce and Gabbana have been preoccupied with for several seasons now. Variations on those would have been welcoming to witness, in fact, there were several parallels between this collection and the duo's autumn/winter 2013 outing where they mined the golden mosaics of Sicily's Cathedral of Monreale (all that gold must be a winner at retail, these designers hold big appeal for the moneyed set). Those clients then, will be delighted with the gold rush finale today; golden dresses every which way - from lace to others encrusted in faceted crystals, or crafted in laser-cut leather. But the runway backdrop - and show invitation - was a trio of blossom trees which came to life via almond tree flower prints further worked with silk petal appliqué. Sicilian ceramic decoration also popped up as borders. In addition to red lingerie slip dresses, and a surprise capsule of fluffy alpaca mini skirts and bustiers - quite where they fitted into this story who knows - there was plenty to keep them shopping.

Twins found locked in closet naked; no food
LIBERTY COUNTY - A mother and aunt face charges after twin 2-year-old girls where found locked in a room nude and without food Saturday morning in Liberty County, deputies said.
According to the Liberty County Sheriffs Office, Amy Castillo, 27, is charged with abandonment/endangerment of a child, while charges are pending against her sister, Brandy Dominguez, 20, the mother of the twins.
Investigators said that at 8:55 a.m. Cpl. Michael Strait, with the Sheriffs Office, was called to meet Federal Probation Officers after they had gone to the residence located on County Road 2283 to check on Dominguez as she is on pre-trial release for a human trafficking charge.
Dominguez was not at home when they arrived but Castillo, the twins aunt, was and allowed the officers to enter the home.
The officers said they heard scratching coming from a door leading to a bedroom. With Castillos permission, the double-locked door was opened and the officers found the twins in the room.
Both girls were nude and did have any food or toys, officers said. Strait said there was only one blanket on the floor and the room smelled strongly of human waste.
Liberty County EMS was summoned to the scene and checked the girls physical condition, which appeared to be satisfactory. Child Protective Services was contacted and they will do a case evaluation on the disposition of the twin girls.
The Sheriffs Office is in the process of preparing a case to forward to the District Attorneys office for possible charges against Dominguez, who was not home when the girls were found.

6ft fence posts are suitable for all types of panel fencing.
These 6ft fence posts have the benefit of being vacuum pressure treated for a longer lifespan.
Always remember to allow at least 600mm of post length into the ground, thus you should order your post lengths 2' (600mm) longer than your panel height, i.e; 8' posts for a 6ft fence, 7' posts for a 5' fence, etc.

Crowded Leader Board After Round 1 at CJGA Mizuno National Golf Championship
Waterloo, Ont.
(August 8, 2011) Rain and lightening was in the forecast for day 1 of the
CJGA Mizuno National Golf Championship
but Mother Nature decided to provide a beautiful day with ideal playing conditions for this talented field of 104 junior golfers. Players were able to take advantage of the good conditions and get the better of the tough Grey Silo layout. There is a log jam of impressive scores at the top of leader board in each of the divisions, which should provide some exciting golf in the days to come.
In the Girls division Rachel Pollock of Guelph, Ont. fired an opening round 77 (+6) to take the lead going in to round 2. Pollock has certainly gained some momentum since the Lipton Brisk Canada Cup taking place in July where she played a pivotal role in Team East's triumph over Team West. Behind Pollock is Grace Howie of Ottawa, Ont. carding an opening round 78 (+7), Howie will be representing CJGA Team Canada at the 2011 Stephen Ames Cup taking place at Canyon Meadows Golf Club in Calgary, Alta. next week. In a tie for third behind Howie is Pincourt, QC native Shannon Lee Greenshields who recently played in the Riverwoods Junior Open in Breda, Netherlands representing CJGA Team Canada. Along with Greenshields is Begum Yilmaz from Istanbul, Turkey who will be trying to use some momentum from last week's win at Bethesda Grange Golf Club, both girls shot 79 (+8).
In the Boys 14 and Under division CJGA standout Jonathan MacDonald of Mississauga, Ont. was able to card an opening round score of 71 (E). "My recovery game shaved a lot of strokes off my game today" admitted MacDonald. "I'm just going to go out there tomorrow, stay positive, and hopefully play like I did today" explained MacDonald. Two shots behind MacDonald is Burlington, Ont. native and 2011 CJGA Canadian Junior Match Play champion Joey Hetherman shooting an opening round score of 73 (+2). Rounding off the talented leader board is Logan Yanick of Courtenay, BC firing an opening round score of 74 (+3). Yanick recently represented CJGA Team Canada at the 2011 Euro Junior Golf Cup in St. Andrews, Scotland. With a wealth of experience in national and international play between these players we should see some exciting battles on the golf course this week.
In the Boys 15-19 division Branson Ferrier of Barrie, Ont. and Jerome Gosselin of Ste-Therese, QC are tied in first spot both shooting opening rounds of 70 (-1). "I plan to go out and keep my game plan simple for tomorrow, I just want to keep the ball in fairway and pick good spots on greens with my approach shots" explained Gosselin. When asked about his round today Ferrier had this to say, "I didn't hit a lot of greens in regulation today but my feel around the greens was on so that was what saved me". Earlier in the season Ferrier represented Canada at the East Aurora International Junior Masters and Gosselin represented the victorious CJGA Team Canada at the 2011 Euro Junior Golf Cup. Behind Gosselin and Ferrier is a 4 way tie for third place between Patrick Burke of Toronto, Ont., Brady Facette of Callander, Ont., 2011 CJGA Canadian Junior Match Play 15-19 champion Matt Gerber of Kitchener, Ont., and CJGA Team Canada member at the 2011 Euro Junior Golf Cup Kyle Wicks of Chatham, Ont.
Second round action continues tomorrow morning at 7:00AM at the Grey Silo Golf Course. The pressure is on as only 60% of the field will be making the cut and moving on to the final 2 days to try and make their mark in CJGA history. Spectators are encouraged to attend.

I hate tribal tattoos. They're fu.cking stupid. It's liek, "You're not in a tribe. Pretty sure nobody invited you to belong in one. Stop it."
I love tattoos, though. I feel like if you're willing to put some epic art on your body and you have the cash; go for it.
tattoo's are a perminant form of art, they can be removed from laser surgy but that is expensive, but i think if there is a reason for a tattoo, not just because thye look nice, if they tell a story, something about you or friends, family or loved ones.
i beleive tattoos are the best thing for this
Personally, I like when guys have tattoos wrapped around their arm, and when girls have them either on upper back or a small symbol like a heart of yin yang on their ankle. But I would not, under any circumstance, recommend getting one. My aunt got one and said it was by far THE MOST EXCRUCIATING, PAINFUL THING SHE HAS EVER FELT IN HER LIFE. 'Nuff said.
AWESOME! as soon as I'm 18 I'm going to get at least one - perhaps a dragon or a tiger...
I think some tattoos with meaning are beautiful but just a bunch of gross stuff all over the entire body isn't that attractive in my opinion...
I think tattoos can be beautiful, but there is a health risk incolved that not many people seem to know about, getting a tattoo CAN give you a serious infection, my friend's dad who is a surgeon actually had to replace someone's heart valve because of it. :| That is the reason i will never get a tattoo. It's fine if you really want to commit to it and understand the risks.
dude personally i love tattos. im not sure ill ever get one and if i do itll be able to be hidden but i think theyre a great art and a form of expression.
of course its personal taste, i will definitely get some meaningful ones once i can. just an interesting fact, but you can get tattoos that only show in certain types of light, which could be helpful depending on what your career is, or if you just hate permanance. :)
I personally like tattoos, but it's mostly a personal preference thing. If you don't like tattoos, good for you, don't get one. I definitely want to get a tattoo(s) when I get older but of course I'm going to think about it; I know it's on for good and I'm fine with that. If you know what you're getting into and you still want to, go for it.
Viridian: If you take care of the tattoo properly when it is still new then you should be safe. Infection just happens when you don't take proper care of it I guess.
I'm hesitant about tattoos; for one thing, they'll probably be a part of you forever. Sure, you can use special concealer or you can get them painfully removed, but if I got a tattoo, I would be extremely sure that I want exactly what is being put on my body. I don't quite understand why someone would want to use his or her body as a canvas, or actually let someone put needles in them, I guess.
I think tattoos with a symbloic meaning are good. But I think Tattoo sleaves are just too much. .
Tattoos are amazing if the are done properly. Its just a matter of finding one that suits your personality or that has some kind of a meaning to you. Overall they are incredibly artsy and interesting :)
If you think tatoos are great, then you believe they are great. You don't really need our opinion, because if you really want one, but don't get it, you'll live life regretting it, always wishing you got one.
My advice is that if you do get one is that you aren't drunk while you get it. Because you might get a tattoo you'll always regret. Like an astranout (did i spell that correct?) placing an American flag on your bum or your full moon, or maybe Woodstock on your lower back.
Also never get someone's name that you're dating til they become your spouse otherwise they'll become your ex and that will be awkward.
Personally, I love tattoos. I think when they are done right they can look amazing. They can either mean something alot to you or just simply look nice. Currently, I dont have any yet, but I want at least three (:

Zoho Books is a piece of online accounting software that makes it simple to keep track of your company's finances. It is one of the programs that make up the Zoho suite of services that can benefit small businesses. Zoho is a trusted name in online software programs, and they are in particularly known for integrating their different specialised services like Zoho Invoice, Zoho Books and Zoho Projects into one SaaS package. If you're thinking about getting Zoho Books for your small business, here are a few things for you to consider.
Zoho Books offers all of the standard features that you would expect from an accounting software package. It offers detailed expense tracking, payments and other financial transactions so that they can be easily monitored. One of the nice features that come with Zoho Books is the automatic bank feeds. With this feature, all of the financial transactions from your bank account can be automatically fetched. These transactions can then be automatically categorized according to the bank rules that you have set up.
You can also accept credit cards and online payments with Zoho Books. The software even makes it possible for you to share your books with your accountant. This makes it easy to have a pro look over your books to make sure that you're handling everything correctly. The software even lets you track your time so that you can bill for the appropriate number of hours or pay your employees correctly. Zoho's web-based accounting software also makes it easy for you to see exactly how your business is doing financially at a glance. The dashboard provides you with all of the basic information that you need about your company's finances.
Zoho Books is primarily for small and medium-sized businesses, although it could be used successfully by any business. It is ideal for companies who want to handle most of their own accounting functions but want to have someone look over the books sometimes.
Zoho Books offers two different plans that you can choose from. The monthly option costs $24 per month. If you subscribe for the annual option, it will cost you $240 per year.
Zoho Books is very easy to use and is recognized as one of the user-friendliest in the industry. It has a very easy to understand dashboard and interface, which makes it possible for you to do everything you need without a lot of hassle.
The customer service offered by Zoho Books is very good. If you have a question about anything, you can email them and they'll respond relatively quickly. You can also get a lot of answers to questions on their forums for customers.
We were looking for a software that would make it easy for us to exchange info and data with our accountant, ad that would give us a better overview of the financial situation of our company. We gave Zoho a test run and liked how it worked and connected to our bank account, and now we're a paying user of the service. Our accountant is now even using it with other customers of him, and we'll probably start using their Zoho Projects software to cope with project management now that our business is growing.

Moving Towards Success.
So often in life we find ourselves stagnating or feeling as if we are running in the spot. It's not as if we aren't moving forward, but what we are doing doesn't seem to make any difference to our situation. It is so frustrating and demoralizing, yet in spite of how uncomfortable we are, we can't get out of that rut. How can we get ourselves from inertia into moving towards a much better outcome? An inability to change an unsatisfactory situation can, more often than not, be linked to being fearful of doing things differently. Floundering in this fear of the unknown, you might say to yourself: |
But what if I fail?
What will others think about me?
I might be worse off.
What if I actually succeed? I'll have to live up to higher expectations. I'll have more responsibility.
Who am I to think things can be different?
I'm not clever enough ... good enough ..., etc.
There is likely to be a whole range of
negative self
talk which tells you there is no way you can move on. This may give you
permission to never make an effort to try something different. You can
get paralysed
by the 'What if this or that happens?' conversations you have in your
head. If you buy into this kind of negative thinking, there is no way
your situation is likely to improve. Mark
Twain once said,
'If you think you can't, or you think you can; you're probably right'. |
So what will start moving you towards what you want?
Determine your outcome
Ask yourself what the outcome is, that you truly desire. This outcome must be clearly and concisely stated in positive terms. Looking at it from your current perspective it should be realistic in order for you to believe that it is possible.
Thinking big is great but in the early stages of changing your thinking it could become overwhelming. So, if the achievement of your desire seems like a huge leap for you, perhaps it would be best to create a series of smaller steps that will eventually take you to that larger goal; Or, to develop your abilities in goal setting, you could practice on a series of short term goals.
There should be a real feeling of conviction about hitting the target. Then, as you start to create a track record of success, your growing confidence may allow you to become bolder with the steps you take.
At this stage, what else can you do to assist this manifestation process?
Consider the following:
- If you do something that clearly doesn't work remember that there is no failure only feedback. Find the lesson (or seed of success) and apply it.
- Ask yourself, 'Who do I need to be?' Consider the personal qualities and skills that may need to be developed or polished.
- Get a coach or a trusted 'accountability friend' who will keep you on track.
- Give thanks and celebrate all you have achieved so far and the gifts that have come your way in life. Gratitude attracts more good things into your life.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.
<<Abraham Lincoln>>

I bought two trailing verbenas this year, planted one in the ground and one in a cedar box, about 4 inches deep. the one in the box never blooms. The buds seem to dry up and turn brown. The other one is beautiful. Could there be something in the cedar the plant doesnt like? |

what kind of media do you have in the cedar box.. how big is the box ... how much do you water it.. and how dry does it get in between waterings ... and.. is the box in full sun??? ken |
Full sun watered daily, M'gro potting soil, 10 x 10 x 4" rarely, if ever, dries out much. wood is western red cedar. |

Let it get more dry between watering. Verbena doesn't like to be wet all the time. |
