Effective Practices : Community Life
Conflict Resolution
Community Life Section 4
1. Does your school have a published guideline that describes for parents the proper approach for sharing and resolving concerns? If yes please explain the ways in which parents are made aware of this policy, and attach a copy. If no such guideline exists, how are parents informed about the proper steps to take when a concern arises?
2. Does your school have a standing group or committee whose role is to work as a liaison between parents and the school when difficulties arise? Attach a copy of this committee's mandate if available.
3. Does your school have trained mediators or other facilitators on staff or on call for use in particularly sensitive situations? Describe the training and experience of these mediators or meeting facilitators.
4. Whose responsibility is it to look at the various conflicts that arise in the community over time to see if there is a larger trend or issue that needs to be addressed? In what ways does this "big picture" perspective get addressed?
5. Describe the key elements of your school's philosophy in relation to conflict resolution.
6. What is particularly effective about your school's work in the area of conflict resolution?
7. If there were something you could change in relation to your school's conflict resolution processes, what would it be and why?
Does your school have a published guideline that describes for parents the proper approach for sharing and resolving concerns? If yes please explain the ways in which parents are made aware of this policy, and attach a copy. If no such guideline exists, how are parents informed about the proper steps to take when a concern arises?
Every school studied reports having a published guideline that describes the proper approach for sharing and resolving concerns. These guidelines are always included in both the parent handbook and the faculty handbook. They are also shared at the first general parent meeting of the year and are touched on by teachers during their first class parent meeting. Some schools also include a copy of the policy in the acceptance letter that is sent when a child first joins the school. (See: Conflict Resolution Process for Employees and Parents)
Several schools noted that it is very helpful to include another copy of this policy in a letter mailed to the home when there are issues astir in the community. Schools also reprint the policy in their weekly bulletins at such times.
One school noted that once a year its Board reviews the school's approach to conflict resolution, and discusses other topics such as social inclusion and meeting protocols. The school noted that developing a school culture that is strong in the area of conflict resolution is an ongoing process.
Several schools mentioned other related documents that are very supportive of the creation of an environment that works to minimize conflict and that embraces it as an opportunity for development when it does occur. These documents include a social inclusion policy, a decision roadmap, and a description of a community of inquiry.
- The social inclusion policy is designed with several goals:
- To promote a sprit of social inclusion among the students where each person is accepted and respected and where negative, harmful behaviors are quickly addressed.
- To help students who exhibit bullying and teasing behavior to become aware of and transform their actions, and to teach those who are victims of such behavior to deal with it appropriately.
- To outline methods for the prevention of bullying behaviors and for dealing with them when they occur.
- To provide clear procedures for the communication of such behaviors among teachers and with the parents of the children involved.
While the policy is focused on inappropriate behavior among children it can help minimize opportunities for conflict by ensuring that these sensitive issues are dealt with in a clear and appropriate way. Much of the material included in the policy can also be applied to adults when they exhibit bullying behavior in their relationships within the school community. (See: Social Inclusion Policy)
A decision roadmap is a document that describes the key leadership bodies in the school, their leadership structures, and the kinds of issues that should most appropriately be referred to each group. It also describes briefly the manner in which each group will take up an issue that is referred to it so that parents know where to refer an issue and how it will be handled.
Schools with good practices for conflict resolution often find that they are successful due to their commitment to being a community of inquiry. These communities exist to help each of the members think critically, creatively, sensitively, compassionately, and effectively about matters of significance. They find that such thinking often leads to both individual and group action followed by reflection, analysis, planning and further action. A description of the characteristics and attitudes essential to crating a community of inquiry, and the basic guidelines for participating in such a community are published regularly by the school to ensure that all community members are aware of the school's approach in this area. (See: Community of Inquiry Statement)
Schools repeatedly shared the importance of having agreements up front about process during times when communication is difficult. These policies and frequent reminders of how and when they are to be used can make a big difference in the ability of a school's faculty and community members to work for positive resolution of concerns.
Does your school have a standing group or committee whose role is to work as a liaison between parents and the school when difficulties arise? Attach a copy of this committee's mandate if available.
One school described their Parent Council Advisory Committee as a parent teacher body which exists to facilitate communication between parents and teachers and to aid in resolving parent-teacher issues.
The Advisory Committee is comprised of four members: one member of the school's leadership committee, one faculty member chosen by the College of Teachers, and two parents. The parents are chosen as follows: All parents are given an opportunity to submit the name(s) in writing of the parent(s) they feel are qualified. The College of Teachers selects two qualified names from that list.
All members of the Advisory Committee are chosen because of their understanding of Waldorf Education, their familiarity with the procedures of the school, their ability to be objective, and their skill in bridge building and communication. If any of the members of the committee are involved in the issue, alternate members will be chosen. The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to help all parties involved see both sides of the situation, to help everyone understand each other's expectations, and to help formulate a solution that is acceptable to all.
Does your school have trained mediators or other facilitators on staff or on call for use in particularly sensitive situations? Describe the training and experience of these mediators or meeting facilitators.
Many of the schools studied have had several members of their administrative staff and faculty trained in meeting facilitation and conflict resolution procedures. While these individuals are not a standing committee per se, it is essential that the school have an ongoing commitment to providing training to staff members who are interested in this type of work. A commitment to working positively with conflict is not something that is handled once and then is done - it requires ongoing training, conversation and commitment if a true community of inquiry is to be created.
These schools noted that their staff members were trained in consensus facilitation through the workshops offered by the Alpha Institute. This training teaches skills that allow a facilitator to crate an environment where opposing perspectives can be shared so that a common picture can be formed and joint resolutions crafted.
Other members of the community who are often involved in communications in difficult situations include the college or faculty chair for pedagogical matters, the administrator for financial or procedural issues, and the student's advisor in matters involving high school students.
Several schools have done work with Kim Payne, typically engaging him for weekend-long workshops on social inclusion and training in related techniques. Another school has had success with training its faculty in responsive classroom techniques, an approach used with students to create a safe classroom environment and to deal with the emotional issues that come up inside the classroom.
Some schools have used professional mediators in the larger community when the particular conflict has involved some of the people in leadership positions in the school. In these cases it is often difficult for someone inside the school community to be objective (or to be viewed as objective) and an outside presence can be essential to finding a true resolution to the concern.
Again, several schools noted that these trainings are pulled from a variety of available resources. The key is not the training itself, but a commitment by the school to provide ongoing training on conflict resolution related processes. This commitment to ongoing training must be coupled with the creation of an environment where conflicts are viewed as opportunities for growth.
Whose responsibility is it to look at the various conflicts that arise in the community over time to see if there is a larger trend or issue that needs to be addressed? In what ways does this "big picture" perspective get addressed?
Some schools in the study noted that it is the responsibility of the school's leadership team to look at the various conflicts that arise over time to see if there is a larger issue that needs to be addressed. The leadership team is a small group that typically includes the faculty and/or college chair, the administrator, and the community development officer. The team may also include the Board president and a representative from the parent council.
It was interesting to note that several schools mentioned that the group that meets with families about tuition assistance does a review each year of what it has heard from parents. At times this review surfaces issues or trends in the financial dealings of the school or in the work with volunteers that need attention.
Describe the key elements of your school's philosophy in relation to conflict resolution.
Everyone has a piece of the puzzle. We need to hear everyone's perspective.
It is better to embrace conflict for the creative ideas that come from it than to suppress it.
Finding ways to bring a dissenting voice into the work is far more productive than shunning the person bringing the differing views.
Creating an environment where blame isn't laid for dissenting ideas is a difficult task. It requires an ongoing commitment to this approach and continual training to have it work.
Blame doesn't serve.
Listening and allowing people to have their say are keys to being able to successfully resolve a conflict.
Following through on the issues, plans and strategies that come out of the conversations is essential. We need to listen and then do what we say we're going to do.
Clarity is essential. It is important that good note taking be in place at these meetings and that we clearly document what the next steps will be as a result of the conversation.
We always try to keep our love for the child/children in focus. We try to keep what is best for the child foremost in our deliberations. We seek to find a solution that balances responsiveness and a willingness to be flexible with staying true to the core values of a Waldorf education.
When a complaint comes to the wrong person it is important that it is redirected to the proper person, rather than allowing the person receiving the complaint to get involved in the matter himself. It is critical that the board, faculty and administrative chair be very disciplined in this way so that issues get properly heard and handled at the very earliest stage possible.
Listening to others is a key to positive conflict resolution.
The school must be willing to accept that a parent's perception is his or her reality.
It is important to look for the kernel of truth in another's comments, rather than being defensive about someone else's experience or perspective.
There are times when a conflict cannot be resolved and a family needs to be asked to leave. There are also parents who stir things up but then are able to quickly move on. It is an important skill to be able to differentiate between these two types of situations.
We try to be frank and courageous, rather than letting things lie or sweeping them under the carpet.
The school's approach to conflict resolution is to value each person's thoughts, feelings and opinions.
It is important for all parts of the school to work together well if the children are to receive the maximum benefit from their Waldorf education. For this reason an interest in others' points of view and sensitivity to their feelings is a key part of the school's conflict resolution procedure.
What is particularly effective about your school's work in the area of conflict resolution?
The written guidelines that the school has set forth work well. The guidelines in the handbook that outline how parents and teachers should work together to resolve issues have been in place for many years and have served the community well.
The school's attrition rate has improved progressively each year, and this improvement seems to have followed the implementation of clear communication and process guidelines for resolving conflict.
Everyone acknowledges that there is genuine effort and a commitment of time to resolving issues and conflicts.
The moment there is a conflict the person who is the focus of that conflict starts to feel themselves as being on the outside. Being aware of this separation can help us be sensitive to this painful aspect of a conflict. We always try to provide an advocate or support person for someone who is having difficulty with the school in hopes of minimizing this feeling of separation and maximizing the possibility that if the difficulty can be resolved that the person involved can once again feel himself as a full member of the community.
Good documentation is very helpful. It is also true that good documentation is a reflection of the consciousness that has gone into working through a difficult issue, and it is not surprising that when there is good documentation a difficult situation can be resolved in a reasonably amicable way, even when the person involved does not get the outcome he would have hoped for.
The best conflict resolution is the conflict you don't ever have. We are good at cultivating positive partnerships with parents early in their tenure with the school. These efforts are money in the bank when challenges occur. We do this through home visits, parent education, parent nights, class socials (adults only and all-family,) volunteerism, etc.
The school's leadership team has gotten good at seeing problems as they arise and addressing them proactively. This has made a big difference in the school's ability to prevent difficulties and to resolve them before they take on a larger proportion.
We create forums for conflict to play out, and try to make them safe venues for all involved.
We are open to working with people.
We have pretty strict standards for confidentiality so that people trust they can enter into a process with respect.
We take our time.
We work hard not to make difficult situations worse. "Above all, do no harm."
"Training, training, training", is the key to success.
We want parents to honor the social inclusion model that has been chosen by the school, and ask that anyone who chooses to be an advocate for a parent's concerns honor that chosen model.
If there were something you could change in relation to your school's conflict resolution processes, what would it be and why?
It would be great to find ways to address the issues between parents and teachers sooner when it is possible. Sometimes issues don't seem big enough to deal with, but these small issues that do not get resolved or adequately addressed can escalate over time into something much bigger.
Provide every teacher with training on conflict resolution. Often the people who resist this training the most are the ones who have the greatest fear about confrontation, and are often the victims of failing to deal with issues when they could be more readily resolved. We can't require parents to have this training, but we could require this of all members of our own faculty and staff. All of our job descriptions require us to be able to deal collegially with others and have good classroom management skills - as a school we have an obligation to provide training and support so people can be successful in this aspect of their jobs.
We need to get better about encouraging people to bring up the issues that are living in them but that they aren't bringing up. We need to find new ways to encourage people to speak what's on their minds.
The school would benefit from providing updated training on mediation skills.
We should be a little more willing to confront each other when we are doing things (or NOT doing things!) that are alienating others and contributing to failed conflict resolution. Sometimes when failed conflict resolution leads to a family or student leaving the school we are a little too willing to blame the other and we inadequately own our part in the failure.
Institutional memory is a key. As the faculty and other members of the community turn over, we can lose track of the good practices we've established in the past, and often find ourselves redeveloping good practices.

We already love Colin Farrell because he ... wait, on second thought, you probably don't need us to list the reasons. For us, the biggest is that the Irish actor is incredibly close to his mum, Rita. The "Total Recall" hottie explained that his mother instilled in him his greatest values and encouraged him to live his life the way he wanted to live it. Colin's "Miami Vice" co-star, Jamie Foxx, knows what's up -- he once explained that Colin's sex appeal comes from how well he treats his family. Smart man, that Mr. Foxx.

You can control what you eat and how much you eat by bringing your food from home. By taking a few minutes each night and packing breakfast,lunch and snacks you set up a good eating day.
pack snack food for work to eat throughout day, this will prevent getting so hungry and eating junk food during a weak moment.
I get my food ready the night before and pack everything I can pack to be able to grab and go!
Pre-packing food in portions and in units of 100 calories helps me stay within the calories I need for the day. On busy days I can pack for lunch and breakfast by grabbing my "food units" - 10 items = 1000 cals - I can toss them into my lunch bag and stay within my calorie guidelines!!

Having survived the seemingly bad idea of Kelly Clarkson night, our contestants are now thrown into a theme that has always been difficult–singing songs from the current Top 100. Though there's a level where having the contestants sing songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s got really old after ten years, there was a reason behind it–namely that these were songs that had faded from memory. Therefore even though the audience knew the songs, they weren't so fresh that the comparison between contestant and original artist would be that close. If you haven't heard the song in a few years, you might not harshly compare the two, the was you would, say, if you literally just heard that song on the radio on your way home in the car.
One thing I do like about this week–Scott Borchetta acknowledges the reality of today's radio by having two mentors. They have both kinds country and
western, err hiphop. No one verbally admits the truth–that radio has segregated itself in the last two decades or so. But looking at Florida Georgia Line and (Jordin Sparks' ex) Jason Derulo, and the schism is obvious. The show claims they represent "country" vs "pop." But it only gets more obvious (a little painfully so) when it turns out that they don't mentor together.
Let's see if the performances are as bad as the project plugging.

We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Perth each week.
You may also be interested in these deals within ten kilometres of Perth:
Topics include Dining Scene, Australia: For Foreign Visitors & more!
The name "Perth" is used to describe the CBD (Central Business District) and a rather large area of suburbia. The CBD in itself is located approx 11kms inland from the Indian Ocean on the Swan River.
Summer in Perth is typically hot and dry, with the possibility of a sea breeze from the Indian Ocean, known locally as the "Fremantle Doctor" due to its cooling properties. Whilst rain is unusual in the summer months, thunderstorms, particularly to the north and east of Perth do regularly occur, but these are usually brief and pass through fairly quickly. Summer in Perth is one of long, hot sunny days, with sun rise around 5.00am in Dec and sunset around 7.30pm. Count on approximately 14 hours of daylight during the summer months December to February. January is the perfect time to hit the beaches for a variety of activities including skiing, parasailing, fishing, swimming or just catching rays on the grassy banks at a number of the metropolitan beaches. February can bring extreme heat (40C+) and high humidity. UV is extreme - sometimes as high as 14 or 15 so sunscreen, sunglasses and endeavouring to minimise time in the sun during peak times of 10.00 - 4.00pm is strongly recommended.
Winter is generally cool, and is also the rainy season for Western Australia, with periods of heavy showers, thunderstorms and gale force winds. While Perth does not get a deep chill it can be somewhat cold, especially at night. It is erroneous to believe that it does not get cold in Perth, as minima around 1 or 2 degrees celsius are quite common over winter through to late August.The wind chill factor can make Perth a very cold place, catching visitors by surprise.
Spring and autumn are generally mild, although March and April in recent times have been hot. For those who do not like the heat, April and September/October are probably the best times to visit. The weather is still warm enough for sailing and some water sports in autumn, but with a less intense sun that that of summer. On average, you are likely to experience more rain than in the summer but less than in the winter. It should not be enough to prevent outdoor activities.

Mediaite flags this excruciating stretch of unintentional hilarity from Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), who took to the House floor yesterday to tell the world how profoundly sorry he was for using the word "midget" in a previous debate:
Honest question for those familiar with the little person community: Does the "m-word" really rise to the level of the n-word on the offensiveness scale? In any case, Johnson earns extra comedy points for inadvertently repeating the word during the self-condemnation, and for settling on a -- cough -- much less offensive term during his rambling address: "Abnormally small people." Bravo, man. If this guy looks or sounds familiar, it might be because he starred in a viral internet clip a few years back. Here's our favorite sitting (and re-elected!) member of the US House of Representatives fretting about whether stationing more US troops in Guam might cause the island to "tip over and capsize:"
"We don't anticipate that" might be the greatest answer ever supplied while in the course of Congressional testimony. If you're wondering how this gentleman has managed to retain his office, he represents this woman's former district. It seems they have very high levels of tolerance for bizarre behavior down there.

Homicide simply means the killing of a human being - it doesn't have any criminal connotations in a general sense.
This is a discussion on Apparent Home Invasion in OK City within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; "OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City police have identified a man shot and killed over the weekend after entering a home on the city's northwest side." ...
"OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City police have identified a man shot and killed over the weekend after entering a home on the city's northwest side."
"Police said Eugene Drake, 27, was killed shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday after a gunbattle broke out at the house."
"Police said Drake was seen prowling outside the house on Northwest 121st Street before he entered the home and exchanged gunfire with someone inside. Drake was shot and killed, and the resident was wounded."
"The resident's name wasn't immediately released, while police determine whether to recommend any criminal charges."
"The killing was the city's 26th homicide of the year."
Don't you just love it when the media calls every shooting, self defense or not, homicide
Homicide simply means the killing of a human being - it doesn't have any criminal connotations in a general sense.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
I'm really, really sorry to hear that the innocent shooter was injured. Thank Heaven the scumbag criminal got removed from the gene pool!!!!

A person is justified in the use of deadly force, if such person reasonably believes deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person.
Yep...homocide just means somebody died by means of a mans hand, as opposed to natural (i.e. heartattack) or accidental (i.e. fall off ladder) causes.

Thanks. Have been trying to find out more about the story. Found a few snippets here and there that say the late perp was the former boy friend of a lady in the house. One report stated that the late perp shot at the resident from outside the house.

Simply amazing.
I downloaded the free version right when it first came out, and I was hooked. I immediately decided to get the full version... It was probably the best money I've ever spent on a game. The graphics are amazing, so is the gameplay, and everything in between. If you are reading this and are not sure whether or not to buy this game, DO IT. I only have ONE complaint: ADD MORE LEVELS. The existing levels are great, but I have completed them all since long ago. I am dying for more. I would like there to be more levels in the game, or maybe a sequel to the game. Anywho, this is an absolutely stunning game that you NEED.
Super fun!!!
I absolutely love this game. The speed and action of this one keeps you on your toes. The graphics are supreme and the challenge of completing a perfect level is fabulous. I've had this game since you put it out and I was simply thrilled when you added the 9 new levels but it's been way too long since you folks at Mediocre AB have added anything to the best steed of a game you have in your stables. Please, please add more content, I see I'm not the only one with this request. Thanks for an excellent game.
WELL WORTH $ APPleS SO GQQD
Granny is racing jumping tackling @ course (up against app dude in this1) and taking no names Lots of fun easily addicting @ course is challenging !

My eagerness tide here; write a GET THIS 1 review 1st or go check out full version. A well done game app!

Dimmable compact fluorescents are available, they are usually made with "cold cathode" technology. You can find dimmable bulbs here on Amazon. There's a 12 pack available here, and a dimmable compact fluorescent spotlight here. 1000 Bulbs also sells a wide range of dimmable compact fluorescent bulbs
12V Compact Fluorescents (15 or 23 Watt)
This is a meta-efficient bulb because it is a 12V compact fluorescent. Available in 15-watts, equal to a 60-watt incandescent (880 lumens), or 23-watts, equal to a 100-watt incandescent (1350 lumens). These lights have a warm color (2700K), operate at 14° to 130°, and measure 5.2"L x 2.1" diameter.
11 Watt Compact Fluorescent 120V (Warm Glow)
The equivalent of 60W incandescent bulb, with the same warm glow, uses only 11W. Available from: Gaiam.Com ($8) or for around $2 on Ebay.

One of the first things on the next Illinois governor's to-do list must be an effort to restore confidence in the Illinois economy. To do so, from Day 1, the next governor should demonstrate that jobs are his No. 1 priority.
One of the first things on the next Illinois governor's to-do list must be an effort to restore confidence in the Illinois economy. To do so, from Day 1, the next governor should demonstrate that jobs are his No. 1 priority.
A good first step would be to exercise the governor's right to withdraw Illinois from the Midwest Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord.
The MGGRA is a six-state effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by imposing a cap-and-trade system on business. Gov. Rod Blagojevich committed to the accord in 2007. The accord exists to cap carbon emissions in our region to 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, and 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050. The pact also lays out some greenhouse gas reduction principles to be adopted by member-state legislatures.
This regional program is also intended to serve as a launching pad for a federal system. Once businesses have cash sunk into carbon permits and state budgets are addicted to the permit auction revenue streams, cap-and-trade energy tax advocates envision opposition to the federal program being much weaker. And they are probably right, which is why we need to stop these regional programs.
The political rationale behind the initiative is that the federal government had been slow to impose its own cap-and-trade system. Therefore, if Washington isn't going to do it — by gosh — the states will.
What advocates of the accord don't get is that there are reasons why Washington continues to take a pass on cap and trade. Both Democrats and Republicans have done so for more than a decade going back to U.S. Senate's initial rejection of the Kyoto Climate Treaty in the mid-1990s.
One very good reason why is that federal lawmakers have long recognized the negative economic impact of imposing a cap-and-trade energy tax on the economy. It's an economic assertion that recent history appears to support. In 2008, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions fell by 2.2 percent as gasoline prices soared to record highs and Americans stopped driving. In the current "great recession," greenhouse gas production has dropped by 7 percent because of a severe economic contraction causing unemployment levels not seen since the Great Depression.
"Emissions are causally linked with energy use, and both emissions and energy use, in turn, are causally linked to economic growth," according to William Yeatman of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based free-market think tank.
"As such," Yeatman tells us, "emissions reductions are achieved with higher energy prices and lower economic growth."
Even the advisory group that drafted the accord agrees that there is an economic cost to it. According to their own economic modeling, economic growth in our region will be slower than the norm under their regime — in even good economic times. They also explain that the economic models to justify the accord don't take the impact of the current recession into account, thus making their models largely irrelevant.
Page 2 of 2 - Arizona and Utah have already withdrawn from their region's accord while both candidates for governor in New Mexico want to abandon the southwestern state's greenhouse gas emissions pact.
In New Jersey, , a movement is afoot to convince Gov. Chris Christie that his conservative credentials are on the line if he refuses to support legislators' efforts to rescue the Garden State from its regional energy tax program. The New Jersey money grab alone should be enough to dissuade any one with common sense from moving forward in Illinois given this state's recent history.
To date, the cap-and-trade policies outlined by the accord are mere proposals and haven't harmed Illinois — yet. A new governor's withdrawal ensures no harm occurs and will probably lead other states to follow suit.
Hopefully, it will add another nail into the coffin of cap and trade.
Most importantly, withdrawal is an opportunity for a new governor to forcefully send the message that Illinois is back open for business. It would boost confidence that the new administration is serious about aggressively facing our economic and fiscal challenges.
From left to right, a consensus has formed in Illinois that economic and fiscal stability must return if jobs are to return. A stable economic climate is what brings the jobs back. In turn, returning jobs make it that much easier for the new administration to address Illinois' train wreck of a state budget because with jobs comes economic growth and natural revenue growth.
Withdrawing won't save the Illinois economy by itself. But it's a good first step. It sends the message on Day 1 that the new government will provide business with the confidence and stability it needs to flourish in Illinois. Whoever is elected governor shouldn't squander the opportunity that withdrawing from the MGGRA represents

TP: Zero Sum Game by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game Review thread
^ indeed. I received my book today an i've already read 116 pages. and aside from the spoilers i read before, Sarina just come off as a bit shady this time. even in the prologue i knew something was up by the way she said "i took a few percussions."
that raised a huge red flag for me.
i also read the ezri/julian scene a few hours ago and although, i too, felt it to be a bit rushed. i think it was very much in character. also the way Mr. Mack pictures Bashir is in my opinion incredibly accurate. part of the reason i love his books so much. he must do a helluva lot of research in order to be this true to the characters.
I find it extremely satisfying watching Jehovah's Witnesses through my window. After all, it takes an RFID lock, a titanium enhanced fireproof door and bullet-resistant glass to keep them out of the building.

Additional Location Information
San Telmo is one of the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires, preserving old buildings and street layouts famous for their charm. It is an area of cafés, antique shops, cobblestone alleys, filled on weekends with artists and dancers, and many tourists.
The apartment is very close to several public transportation and within a walking distance to many to many touristic attractions like Casa Rosada, Avenida de Mayo, Puerto Madero or the nearby parks!
It is really very safe: a walk alone during the nights returning from Milongas where I dance tango.

The Scene: Fashion's top-tier journalists, digital editors and buyers convened in outer Chelsea for Donna's show, where they were joined by actresses Ashley Greene, Rose McGowan, and Emmy Rossum. Once the seated crowd fell silent, it seemed as though the show was beginning—but it didn't. At least, not until Rachel Zoe (with husband Rodger in tow) dashed across the runway to their seats at the last second.
The Soundtrack: James Brown's "It's a Man's World" started things off, and the final walk was (very fittingly) set to Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman."
The Look: Even with models in perfectly-fitted pantsuits, double-breasted blazers and tiny top hats (courtesy of master milliner Stephen Jones), this collection was all about conveying a woman's strength and power. Black and pinstriped grey, the colors most common in men's suiting, mixed with occasional hits of fire-engine red—the sexiest of all shades. Donna outfitted many of the girls in pressed collars and cuffs cut from clean white shirting fabric, and spat booties and oxfords carried that same masculine vibe all the way down to the models' feet. Of course, even the most menswear-heavy collection had to include some of Donna's famous gowns—and we're sure Ashley Greene will soon be snapped in that scarlet satin finale number.
Pieces We Want: Since we can't pull off a teensy fedora with half the success of WhoWhatWear's Hillary Kerr, we'll settle for one of the downtown-cool red and black plaid jackets that opened the show. Part of Donna's Casual Luxe line, they're just the thing we want to bundle up in during NYC's current cold snap.

Earlier it was made known that Apple decided to push the launch of the white iPhone 4 model until spring, but now there are reports hinting to a far more uninviting notion that'll have some people very saddened.
Even though it was shown off during the iPhone 4's official unveiling, we've seen a rash of delays for this pristine model as Apple hinted to some manufacturing concerns with the device. However, one source close to the situation theorizes that Apple has no intentions on releasing the white variant – and that the company would communicate another "delay" some time around March.
If that's going to be the outcome, it would seemingly find itself ready and in time for the release of the next iteration of the iPhone which would be in the June or July time frame. Although this is all still speculation, the iPhone 4 has been on the market for quite some time now and with these never ending delays for the white model, it paints the telling tale that it might as well wait until the new iteration is unveiled.

Fans of Trinidad Jame$' debut mixtape, Don't Be S.A.F.E., have been familiar with the refrain "Now my side chick, my main chick and my main guhl ain't feelin' me no mo', no mo' " for months. On Wednesday (March 27), the newly anointed member of XXL's Freshmen class Skyped into "RapFix Live" and dropped the flaming-hot visuals to accompany his banger "Female$ Welcomed."
The buzz-worthy rapper, born Nicholas Williams, takes his stage name from his native Trinidad. Jame$ puts on for his city of Port of Spain in the new video, brandishing the flag and giving viewers a glimpse of the street corners, markets and natives that are the island's heartbeat. This tour is mostly a shirtless one, so feast your eyes on that, but it's a given that Jame$ will never, ever be without an enthusiastic layering of gold chains.
With a title like "Female$ Welcomed" it isn't hard to imagine what the song itself is about. "F– love, it's overrated/ Was disfellowshipped, now I'm reinstated/ Might need a witness, these b—-es crazy/ Let me say it again, these b—-es crazy." Director Jonathan Mannion makes sure the visuals are just as raw as the verses.
Trinidad is a place of great beauty — peep the statuesque Caribbean women who dutty-wine on tabletops and masterfully drop it like it's hot. The Miley Cyrus twerk team has nothing on these women, believe it.The 2013 XXL Freshmen have been revealed!
But it's not "All Gold Everything": At the two-minute mark, the song and story flip intensely. The devil himself makes an appearance as a trip-hop beat commences. Women ornately undressed in Carnival attire take the party to the streets, and fire-breathing men outfitted with horns and tails literally throw flames all around Jame$, the ringleader of the freaks who come out at night.
Watch it all now!
What do you think of Trinidad Jame$' new video for "Female$ Welcomed"? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Such a professional and caring person. Truly a gem!
Dr. Turner is an exceptional ob-gyn. She truly cares about her patients and their health. I've been a patient of Dr. Turners for more than 10 years and highly recommend her.
I have see Dr. Turner for many of years and never had a problem until I got pregnant with my second child. I was having issues and was only directed to the ER. I'm an ER nurse, I expected Dr. Turner to see me and treat me. I got nothing but grief and told I would be called back and never was. My husband was then told by the office manager that Dr. Turner would not talk to me that she didn't have time. I sought out a different physician after that. I'm 14 weeks pregnant. To be honest I'm hurt and sad, I really like Dr. Turner.
I advise you to choose another practice if you are pregnant. Drs Turner and Pool are way too quick to do unnecessary C sections. Dr Turner never even saw me in the hospital while I was in labor, she only communicated by phone, and forced a C section on me that was totally unnecessary. They also are not favorable towards evidence based care and do not follow recommendations of the Anerican College of Gynecologists. Steer clear!
Dr. Turner was highly recommended by all the people I work with. So, I called and had to wait over 5 MONTHS for a new patient appointment. I finally have my appointment and the wait was terrible. However, being a nurse I understand that sometimes this happens. I spoke with her office manager, Cerita, about it and she was such a joy. I decided to give her another chance. I became pregnant and had some questions and issues. I spoke with her nurse, Lisa I think, and she was horrible. The next day I called back and Cerita was covering for the nurse. Again, she was fabulous, easy to talk to. As time went on though, I kept getting the run around on my appointments. They were cancelled, rescheduled over and over again. I tried to talk to Cerita again and was told that she was no longer there. Every time I went in, the staff was different. I always had to deal with idiots and their inconsistent answers. Dr. Turner seemed like she didn't know what was going on and I heard her get upset with her staff when I was sitting in an exam room near the front desk. It was unprofessional. I decided then and there to leave after the baby was born and I have found a wonderful new GYN, Dr. Artman in Hilliard. I guess they used to be partners.
I had a appointment to get blood work done and the front desk staff was very relaxed they made me feel because I wasn't seeing the doctor that my appointment wasn't as important they were talking and laughing and all of a sudden it got quiet so I assumed the doctor was there and I went to ask when I was going to be called and the young lady asked my name she got on the computer all I know is this lady apologized to me called me back immediately and gave me her name and said if I have any questions or concerns to ask for her immediately THANK YOU CANDY YOU ROCK
I have been a patient of Dr. Turner's for several years, and she is amazing. Smart, down to Earth, funny, etc. I appreciate her no nonsense approach to medical care. Highly recommend her to anyone.
I agree with the most recent post. I too am a pt of Dr. Turners. I have had my annual appointment cancelled and rescheduled several times. The day before my appointment I called the office to verify my appointment and the receptionist states I was not scheduled for that day. So I promptly rescheduled and now my appointment is four months after my original annual. Secondly I have left Candy a few messages about making an appointment for my new pregnancy and she has yet to call me back! It's frustrating and a disappointment at what is supposed to be a happy time. So I to will be looking for a new provider which truly is a shame because Dr. Turner is a great practitioner.
I am incredibly disappointed in Dr. Turner and her practice. I have been a patient for several years and was happy with Dr. Turner until I recently experienced fertility issues. As a nurse, I have a rather inflexible work schedule so seeing Dr. Turner requires me to make special requests or trade shifts/days, etc. I spoke to Candy the office manager to get an appointment in two weeks. If I couldn't make that appointment, Candy told me Dr. Turner couldn't see me for two months. I adjusted my schedule to accommodate. Upon arriving for my appointment, I was told that I was not on the schedule and that Dr. Turner could not see me. They offered an appointment for the following day, which would have originally fit my schedule perfectly, but of course I could not make it due to my work schedule. I asked that Dr. Turner call me at a minimum to discuss my situation over the phone. Unfortunately, Dr. Turner did not call. It's a terrible shame that Dr. Turner's practice does not view its clients as more than captive patients. I do have a choice in my medical provider and have made the decision to seek care elsewhere. Dr. Turner is very nice which makes me all the more disappointed I have to find a new provider.
Great OB! I have been a patient with her for 6 years and through 2 pregnancies. She is outstanding, feels like a friend. Answers all questions, spends time with you. Would highly recommend her to anyone. There are times that the wait was long, but expect that from time to time.
She made the my first pregnancy a Joy! I actually missed her and her crew after not being able to see her after having the baby. I 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a laid back, caring, trustworthy doctor!
When my pregnancy began we were living in AZ & relocating to OH. My doctor referred me to Dr. Turner because she happened to deliver her daughter years earlier. Dr. Turner made all discussions easy & even though I am sure she was busy you always felt as though you were her only patient.
I would recomment Dr Turner 100%. She is amazing.
I have been her pt for 13-14yrs. And she was recommended by another doctor. Dr. Turner is honest, straight forward and up front. She asks about me as a person, not just what's going on medically. And she doesn't talk down to you. She treats you as an equal, when a decision is needed. She is also honest about what she would do, and I truly appreciate that.I have recommended her to everyone that has asked about needing an OB/GYN.
I moved to Columbus, OH in July of 2009. In August of 2009, I found out that I was pregnant and needed to find a doctor. I found a review for Dr. Turner and made an appointment with her. My first meeting with her was excellent. Dr. Turner took the time to get to know me and was always ready to answer any question that I had and calm any fears that I had throughout my pregnancy. She is a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend her. She will be my doctor for as long as she is in practice.
I highly recommend Dr. Turner. She is a caring, compassionate physician...she cares not only about your health but about your life as a whole and well-being. I have been her patient for over 11 years (as a GYN); she stays on top of medical diagnosis to make sure that you follow up with her recommendations and course of treatment. She's an amazing physician and person.
she is an amazing doctor... I am never at ease with a doctor and I am always completely at ease with her. She understands and is always willing to listen! I would reccomend her to everyone
This is an incredible practice. Every doctor's office should be this efficient and friendly.
Dr. Turner was my doctor for seven years while I lived in Ohio. She is qualified, professional and personable, all very important to someone like me who is a health professional myself. Her office staff is efficient and pleasant. I will really miss having her as my doctor now that I have moved to AZ.
I have seen Dr. Turner a few times now and she was aware of the health issues that I was having, however, the last time I contacted her office about the issue, she completely dropped the ball and never followed up with me. Now I am still having the issue and she can't get me in for 2 months. This is for an established patient! I am very disappointed as I have referred many patients to her in the past. Sadly, I am now looking for someone new who truly cares about what happens to her patients.
Dr. Turner has helped me through the diagnosis of breast cancer, a miscarriage at 9 weeks, and then a happy full term pregnancy. She is always very caring and takes as much time as you need during your visit and seems genuinely happy for you when things are going well. I just love her! I have also seen each of the partners, with Dr. Artman actually having delivered my baby at the ungodly hour of 3am with a smile on her face. I think highly of all 3 of the doctors! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone!
Paige has delivered all of my granchildren as well as being my physician. She was excellent doing my surgery and also with my follow-up. I couldn't ask for a better physician.
Dr. Turner put me at ease right away. She was worth waiting for.
best office staff
Dr turner is awesome! She is attentive, efficient, caring, experienced, and a straight shooter. You cannot help but, to feel at ease with her. I have had endometriosis for years and she has ALWAYS listen to me and helped me deal with it. She makes every visit personal and really takes the time to answer any and all questions that I have. She has never questioned the degree of pain that I've been in, but rather she has always been there to help me manage it. I have never thought twice about whom to recommend to my friends looking for an OB-GYN!!
Dr turner is awesome. She is attentive,efficient, caring, experienced, listens well and is down to earth. You cannot help feeling at ease with her. She has helped me through a rough first pregnancy and a rough second delivery. When it counted most I put all my trust and faith in her and she came through both times. We owe Dr Paige so much and are so grateful to have her care for me! If you need an ob-gyn you should look no further than Dr Turner.
Dr. Turner has been such a great advocate and support for me and my husband through our first pregnancy. She is so personable and has a calming presence. She makes each visit personal and really takes the time to answer any and all questions that we have. We couldn't ask for a better OB. I saw Dr. Turner before I was pregnant and her patient care is excellent and she's extremely knowledgable and helpful.

Finally! All Of The Pieces In Place For NFL-To-LA
If you asked me yesterday afternoon what the chances of an NFL team moving to L.A. were in the next five years, I'd have told you zero. I've contended from the very beginning that the City of Industry stadium bid by Ed Roski will never happen, and there's been nothing in recent months to suggest otherwise.
(1201 Figueroa St.: NFL's newest address?)
But last night here in Los Angeles something happened that makes me think we will indeed have NFL football here in the next five years. Maybe sooner. Read more…

text: IRS Won't Treat Bitcoin Like Currency It will be taxed like property instead By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Mar 25, 2014 5:08 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (31) (Newser) – Virtual currencies like bitcoin will be taxed like property—not currency, the Internal Revenue Service said today. The IRS says bitcoin is not legal tender, meaning you can't use it to pay your taxes. However, if you receive wages in bitcoin, you have to pay taxes on it just like you would if you got paid in dollars. The IRS issued a series of 16 questions and answers to clarify the tax treatment of virtual currencies like bitcoin. In general, the IRS says it will apply the same rules that govern other barter transactions. If you receive wages in bitcoin, they would be taxed at their fair market value at the time you were paid, the IRS said. If you use bitcoins to pay for goods or services, the vendor must report the income, using the fair market value of the bitcoins at the time of the transaction. For investors, bitcoins will be treated like other commodities, the IRS said. If they increase in value, you have to pay capital gains taxes after you sell them. If they lose value, you can recognize a capital loss. Bitcoin tokens in Sandy, Utah.

Piping tie-ins: the basics
Making these connections is inevitable during plant expansion. Here are a few ways to minimize costly disruption during this procedure.
Piping tie-ins are unavoidable in plants where expansion is a current or future factor. Steam, condensate, compressed air, dust collection, vacuum and process lines are just a few types of plant piping likely to be modified by tie-ins to increase capacity. Here are a few ways to minimize costly disruption of plant operation when tie-ins are inevitable.
Plan and schedule New piping design should include allowances for future expansion. This can be accommodated without major expense. Consider the following:
View related content on PlantServices.com
- Increase design pipe sizes to the next larger diameter if velocity limits permit.
- Provide caps or blind flanges at the end of a pipe run where a brief tie-in outage can be tolerated.
- Provide valves with blind flanges when and where a future tie-in outage cannot be tolerated.
- Provide adequate access and maintenance space for future connecting piping.
Existing piping design may provide limited flexibility for future piping tie-in accommodations. However, take advantage of future scheduled outages and add piping flanges and valves where future tie-ins are inevitable. This will enable future construction to proceed without disrupting plant and process operations.
The piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is a useful means to define piping tie-ins. The P&ID does not locate the tie-in physically. However, it defines the functional relationship of the tie-in within the piping system, which is the initial step in the design process. Establish a numbering system for tie-ins, i.e., "T-XXX," which can be used as a reference on design documents until the project is completed. An indication of "new" and "existing" piping also provides clarity.
A tie-in list can also be useful for estimating the cost of construction and for scheduling work well in advance of the actual piping design activity. Often, the list will include details such as the estimated length, material designation, insulation and coating requirements and reference drawings. Some level of complexity can be assigned to the length to account for miscellaneous fittings and related variables in the cost estimate.
Finally, orthographic and isometric piping drawings should indicate the piping, fittings, valves, material, weld and testing requirements that pertain to the tie-in. Often, the tie-in references are deleted from the "as-built drawings" at the close-out phase of the project.
Design considerations
The plant and process considerations are usually obvious. Immediate or projected increases in utility or process flow rates are the most frequently cited reasons for tie-in piping. Accommodating the need for these increased demands often results in additional capital equipment.
After the process requirements are determined and the tie-in piping sized, consider isolation provisions. It is rarely feasible economically to shut down the plant or process during tie-in piping installation. Alternately, a short-term, scheduled outage may be sufficient to break the line and install a tie-in connection. After the connection is in place, the piping can be fabricated and connected "off-line" conveniently and economically.
During the interim period, a blind flange can be installed and the process resumed. However, this will require another brief outage to remove the blind flange and connect the tie-in piping. This can be avoided by installing a shutoff valve upstream of the blind flange to provide safe, long-term isolation. Subsequently, the blind flange can be removed, the connecting pipe installed, and the valve opened after the tie-in is completed.
Pay particular attention to installing a shutoff valve that is adequate for temporary "end-of-line service" by considering these factors:
- Valve seals must withstand full rated pressure on one side while unpressurized on the other side in the closed position.
- Valves must withstand a pressure and leak test.
- Valves must be bidirectional so they can be installed with either end open to atmosphere.
- Valves must be installed with a lockout device and comply with OSHA Zero Energy requirements.
The pressure drops across a tie-in valve (in the fully opened position) should not be excessive.
Provide a "drainable spool piece" downstream of the shutoff valve.
The purpose of the spool piece is two-fold. First, the drain valve provides a means to check for leakage of the shutoff valve seals. Second, the drain valve relieves pressure buildup when the blank is removed in the event the shutoff valve leaks. Provisions can then be made to deal with the faulty valve. This allows the tie-in piping to be connected safely.
A variety of valves are adaptable to end-of-line shutoff service. These include ball, gate, butterfly and plug types. Carefully compare the service conditions with the valve manufacturer's specifications to determine suitability for both the prolonged shutoff and open positions.

I was presented with opportunity that few backpacker's get not long ago. To work short-term in Antarctica. One of the best things about working there, for the New Zealand base, is the ability to get out and about off base. From organised days out, to simply the 'freedom' to roam about on-foot or skis, it was these varied experiences that really made my time there more amazing. The second weekend there, a small group of us set off to make the trip, in a hagglund, to Scotts hut at Cape Evans.
Cape Evans on the western side of Ross Island, was used as the headquarters for Scotts 2nd Antarctic Expedition in 1910-1913. The hut, built by the expedition team, still stands, containing many of the items used by the expedition, in the same state as they were left - including glassware, Bunsen burners and an emperor penguin, awaiting dissection. Among the team were a number of scientists (mainly biologists and geologists) who carried out basic studies.
Scott ran the expedition as a military operation, with officers and 'enlisted' men. The hut is large - 15m long and 8m wide and against that main building is a stable to house the 19 Siberian ponies that were used to pull the sledges (much like the explorers, the ponies didn't fare too well either.)
The day we visited the weather had deteriorated to a 'condition two' - low visibility, high winds - perfect setting for visiting such a site. Once inside the hut I was amazed at the 'insulated' feeling - both of warmth and lack of noise. The screaming wind was shut out once we stepped inside, and though not hot inside, you could definitely imagine that the team staying there did manage to get the hut nice an warm. They insulated with seaweed, sewn into a quilt and then placed between double-planked inner and outer walls. The roof is a sandwich of three layers of plank, two layers of rubber ply with more quilted seaweed enclosed inside. With acetylene gas they had lighting and the heating came from the kitchen and a supplementary stove - coal fuelled.
I think the thing that struck me most was the lack of 'ageing' - no cobwebs, dust, mould or decaying. Seal skins stacked up neatly between hut and stables, still with blood and lots of visible fat, not to mention the smell.. a box of eggs, never did find out from which bird, but looked far too big for chickens eggs, tools hanging on the wall, clean and ready to go - things left as they were found, as if the guys could walk back through the door again any time soon and pick up where they left off.
On a second visit to the site, in nicer weather, I was able to see more of the outside, including the view from the memorial cross standing on the hill just outside. Completely different concept and view but nice to get a sense of direction and placement.
There is such amazing work being done here by the team from Antarctic Heritage Trust in their pledge to restore and record the Antarctic huts and their workings, a truly remarkable piece of history.

Tourists lose fifth straight, fall 8-1 to BlueClaws
Published: Friday, July 24, 2009 at 10:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 24, 2009 at 10:07 p.m.
ASHEVILLE The Asheville Tourists' struggles at home continued Friday night as they dropped their third straight game to the Lakewood BlueClaws, this time by a score of 8-1.
It was the fifth straight loss for the Tourists, who dropped out of first place in the Southern Division of the South Atlantic League with a 16-11 record.
"It looks like we've just got into a rut, and we've got to work our way out of it," Asheville manager Joe Mikulik said. "It's frustrating."
A pair of local products got time on the mound Friday night, and both got cheers from the crowd. Former UNC Asheville standout Alan DaRatt for the Tourists and former Tuscola High standout Eryk McConnell for the BlueClaws each came on in relief during the middle part of the game.
Other than that, the crowd of 1,784 didn't have much reason to cheer as the Tourists were shut down for the second straight night by solid Lakewood pitching. Asheville was held to just six hits and ended up striking out 11 times.
"We've just hit this skid all of a sudden. Maybe we need to step back and let them breathe or something. It's easy to talk about doing it, but it's just a matter of getting out there and doing it," Mikulik said.
Lakewood jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with an RBI double in the first inning from designated hitter Travis d'Arnaud and an RBI triple in the second by D'Arby Myers.
The BlueClaws' bats then caught fire in the top of the fourth. Travis Mattair led off with a double, Troy Hanzawa followed with a single, and Kyle LaFrenz drove in Mattair from third with a sacrifice fly to right.
The hit parade continued as D'Arby lined a double to left, and a batter later, Anthony Gose knocked in a pair of runs with a deep single to left-center, making it 5-0.
Another double by Garcia forced Mikulik to pull starter Parker Frazier, who fell to 7-7 after giving up six runs off 12 hits.
The Tourists finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth when No. 9 batter Thomas Field hit an RBI single, knocking in Jimmy Cesario, who reached on a double.
Lakewood leadoff man Harold Garcia made it 6-1 in the top of the sixth with an RBI double to center, and the rout continued in the top of the seventh with two more BlueClaws crossing the plate. Mattair and Hanzawa each had a sacrifice fly, pushing the Lakewood lead to 8-1.
Lakewood will go for the sweep in the fourth game of the series at 7:05 p.m. tonight. Asheville's Juan Nicasio (4-1, 1,71 ERA) will be going up against Lakewood's Heitor Correa (7-3, 3.65 ERA).
