Every Entity is Vulnerable in its Own Way
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
Every client, manager and human resources professional believes his or her workplace environment is unique and has special needs when it comes to security. And they are correct. A collection agency's call center's needs are different from a grocery store.
Yet the questions are not so different from place to place.
An attendee at a program wrote this as a concern to protect victims of abuse:
"We work in residential settings with vulnerable adults. Often family members are aware of location of group home and concern if perpetrator showed up there."
A colleague of mine, Felix Nater, put his thoughts on that question this way, "Protecting the workplace from a potential threat of physical violence by a Domestic Violence Offender or Disgruntled Current of Former Employee is an ongoing process requiring training and awareness of policy, workplace violence prevention measures & violence response, protective safety measures, response to an armed hostile intruder/active shooter and the police encounter & response."
In other words a responsible workplace entity asks for help from subject matter experts and has a complete security assessment conducted on the facility. This includes top to bottom, inside and outside inspection to determine all areas of possible concern.
Security experts will look at lighting, crash bars on doors, biometric security locks, parking lots, cameras, alarms, reception areas, trees and bushes blocking windows and doors, safe rooms policies and procedures, access points, and well…everything.
Having a close working relationship with your nearest police department is always a proactive step. As is comprehensive training for all employees on a regular basis. And remember that some segments should have specialized training, such as receptionists, on site security, sole workers who go into homes or other locations.
It's always wonderful to see how concern literally melts from the faces of managers and staff after training. Yes, all your workplaces are different and unique, but you aren't alone in addressing your needs.
I'm always happy to talk with you about improving your workplace violence initiative. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to email@example.com I'm here to help.
Oh, and so are my friends.

You Know What to Say
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Communication, Workplace Violence
"But I don't know how to talk to her." "What would I say?" "Isn't it overstepping my boundaries?"
These are common questions I hear when I talk to managers or business owners and executives about conversations they would have with an employee they suspect is a victim of intimate relationship abuse. I can understand it, of course. Our very nature is to keep employees personal lives at arm's length and to simply concentrate on the business of… well, the business.
However, countless studies and employee opinion surveys have made it clear that when the employer is engaged in open and caring dialogue with employee's productivity and loyalty improve dramatically.
In today's Arizona Republic, writer Sidnee Peck offers a sound little article that supports the very concept of clear communication with struggling employees. The article was not available on-line so there's a scanned version below.
The most rewarding aspect of my work is taking Sidnee's concept to the next level and training managers expressly on communication in my program "The Good, the Bad and the Funny – Communication at the Workplace™" And in my niche of intimate relationship abuse, "It Happened at Home, It Cost Us at Work™" and other programs designed specifically to focus on the business case for addressing domestic violence and abuse.
Knowing what to say and how to say it becomes easy and rewarding. You just need a little help to get started. I'm here for that. I'm always happy to talk with you about improving communication at your workplace. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to hear from you.

Multiple Location Dilemma
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Communication, Workplace Violence
For a recent presentation I asked attendees what their most pressing concern was in terms of addressing domestic violence and workplace violence and their organization. There was no shortage of concerns and it made for lively and informative conversation. I love having program attendees so engaged in the discussion! I made a commitment to answer as many questions as possible in future newsletters and blogs. That way my entire readership community can benefit from the discussion.
One of the concerns raised was, "Maintaining safety for all when the 'perpetrator' is unknown, we have several sites and wouldn't be able to determine which location the individual might go to."
There is no single answer for that because, in short, it depends. I asked my colleague, Felix Nater, of Nater Associates, Ltd. to weigh in on the conversation. He had profound and valuable insights to add and I'd like to share a bit of that with you.
"Whether there is one workplace or 5 separate workplaces, each has unique circumstances only found at the specific location called vulnerability gaps that must be addressed. Minimizing risk can occur only if all employees on all shifts are familiar with the coordinated emergency response to the Offender, know what he/she looks like and understand their roles and know what to do during the encounter.
The day an employer receives such an alert is not the time to properly prepare the workplace for such an event. It may be too late to get the word out but lives can still be saved if the workforce knows how to respond. Proactive preparation and intervention is worth the investment compared to the cost associated with a faulty reactionary response to the active shooter threat."

What Do You Do if Both Victim and Offender Work for You?
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Communication, Workplace Violence
Hello Readers!
Happy New Year to all!
Prior to trainings and speaking engagements I've never had a change to engage in dialogue with upcoming attendees. That changed in January when I prepared for a presentation to a chapter of Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). I created a short questionnaire that attendees could answer online and then incorporated the data received into the presentation. An amazing 87 people responded to the survey! Many, many of them also submitted essay type questions and it wasn't possible to answer all of them during the presentation.
My offer to them, and to you, is that in my blogs I will answer a question with a short audio or video recording. You'll see the question; then click the recording.
Here's one:
What do you do if both victim and offender work for the same company?

Knockin' 'Em Down…Barriers to Communication
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Communication, Workplace Violence
I have the pleasure of going back to my early roots in human resources training for two new clients to do workshops on communication in the workplace. I love my work in workplace violence and domestic violence, yet having this change-of-pace is fun and refreshing. Everyone likes to switch up their work every now and then!
There's a segment in the training where we have a robust conversation about barriers to communication. We separate barriers by category and pick them apart for deeper discussion.
One of the segments is Personal Pressures. And guess what? Now we have an overlap again. An element, and an important one, in being able to communicate with someone – and their ability to receive your message, is if they're dealing with violence and abuse at home. If they are, their ability to be receptive is greatly reduced.
The "noise" in the head of a victim of abuse is like having a conversation with someone while standing under a hovering helicopter. The din is impossible. It's not that the recipient doesn't want to hear your message. They just can't. Priorities – like staying alive, take precedence.
Training is a crucial way to cut through the "noise". It has to be the right training. How do you get your message across so that the person hears you, trusts you, and knows that you can relate, if not on a personal level – at least on an empathetic level. Until you can do that correctly and effectively you are only going to add to the mental clutter. You may even add to fear and humiliation and find that your employee distances her, or himself, from you and others in your organization.
This is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. What have you done in your workplace to recognize and prevent abuse?
At Human Resource Essential, my partners and I are honored that our work increases emotional intelligence of management, HR and supervisors in effective tools for recognizing and assisting employees who may be victims, or offenders, of abuse. Knocking down one barrier at a time.
Would you like to know more about this? I'm always happy to talk with you about improving communication at your workplace. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to email@example.com. I'd love to hear from you.

I Have a Question
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
I have a question. They say the only dumb question is the question not asked – so I'll ask mine.
Will the Grand Jury in the Ferguson shooting death of Michael Brown get to ask questions about Police Officer Darren Wilson's home life and back story? Because, it's important. Time and again following an act of workplace violence people say the assailant "just snapped", and why did he/she snap? Wouldn't it be fair to at least ask the question here? What's the back story? What was going on in the officer's life?
When I wrote the book Serrated I was stunned to learn how much vital information was with-held from the Jury. How were they really supposed to make an informed decision? Well, they couldn't, and didn't, because it was all predicated on them learning only selected bits of information. So again I ask: Will the Grand Jury get to ask questions about Police Officer Darren Wilson's home life and back story? Just asking.
I'm always happy to talk with you about improving your workplace violence initiative. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to hear from you.

50 or 6. Does it Make a Difference?
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
It's a strong belief of mine that domestic violence training should be mandatory. I know mandatory is a strong word, but is there really any other for ensuring all of your employees attend? It's the only way to get everyone in the company "on the same page" and ensuring that your organization adopts a corporate culture of like-minded people who prevent and shun domestic violence.
The legal penalties of ineffective or ignored employee relations issues like domestic violence, and domestic abuse can be substantial and it's like asking for bad PR. Why would any business do that?
In addition, it's the only way to get the people in the room that really need to hear the message; otherwise you have folks that are afraid they'll be "outed" by their very presence. That's why it's so important to me to do this work.
I know a lot of speakers and trainers who would be upset – even cancel training if they found out that the 50 expected attendees turned into six. I'm not that way. Would I like 50 in the room? Of course. A recent training I had, which was communicated as "optional", was to publicized 50 staff members. Six showed up. And you know what? That was OK.
We had six people in the room who were the best, most interested, most involved, most fun and most inspirational six participants a facilitator could ask for.
You never know who's living with family violence. My belief is that if you reach even one person – and make a change in their life, you've accomplished something. On that day I know I did with six. They were involved in the group exercises and discussion and weren't afraid to open up about the tough stuff and "find the funny" in the good stuff.
Quite simply that's what I'm all about. I make the business case for tackling domestic violence spillover to the workplace. I eliminate the taboos and stigmas for managers and employees to deal with this social problem, and create workplaces that are Safe, Supportive and Sought-After.
I'm always happy to talk with you about improving the way your company address domestic violence. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to email@example.com. I'd love to hear from you.

What Can, and Does Happen
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
A few days ago I received a call from a Human Resource Director who urgently needed help and advice with an employee situation that was escalating quickly. The employee was missing work, bruised when she was there, and her spouse was threatening co-worker's and demanding information of his wife's whereabouts and schedule. I guided her through dynamics, processes, legalities and options. Then offered her suggestions and advantages to have an individualized, customized complete domestic violence program for their organization now. She said management wouldn't go for it, "They'd rather wait until something happens."
"It already has." I told them. Still, the employee's unproductive missed time, cost for injuries, personal stress level and anxiety to the workplace isn't enough. They apparently would rather wait until she's dead too.
This happens on a regular basis. How do these people stop the reactionary mindset? What is the point of doing a program after-the-fact in the honor of the dead?
Having said that, it's always a good time to address the issue. My favorite clients are the ones that know the reality is that they don't have to actually see evidence of a problem, they are realistic, preventive and proactive.
This is a painful reminder of what can, and does happen.
Want to know more or know somebody who might be interested in my services?

Subject Matter Expertise– The Advantages in Domestic Violence
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
People who've had conversations with me often hear me say, "I live, sleep, eat, breathe domestic violence". Meaning it's what I do.
Ha! Thought you caught me- silly people! It's not what I do. I don't perpetrated it! It's what I do, what I am, and what I have a passion for as a Consultant Subject Matter Expert – SME.
Even in company Train the Trainer situations the trained individual will lack the in-depth, expertise, knowledge and experience of the SME. Worse yet, they may have personal biases to the issue. They may not be able to answer challenging questions or handle uncomfortable situations. Their facts and statistics may be out of date; all of which may be reflected in the training itself, the outcome for attendees and long term results for the company.
To bring, or keep, an in-house trainer up-to-speed will cost time and money that detracts from their regular duties. All of that is moot when you bring in an SME whose career is based on:
- being a problem solver to make an immediate impact with minimal ramp-up time,
- lowers the client's risk by conveying correct information,
- is a valuable information resource and provides a wealth of knowledge and support to clients,
- may serve as liaison to the functional area from which they obtained their expertise or adjacent resources and industries (i.e. Human Resource Essential's long-term relationships with EAPs, attorneys and shelters),
- an SME will have strong expertise in one or more areas directly related to their subject,
- SMEs are often the "go to" people for assistance and up-to-date information on policies, processes, and critical incidents – for example, our clients are comfortable, and even prefer, their employees contact us directly for information and a place to voice personal issues.
Do you expect your in-house trainer to live, sleep, eat, and breathe domestic violence?
SMEs have a passion for their work. When it comes to something as emotionally demanding as domestic violence – how the material is conveyed will make a significant difference in the outcome.
I'm always happy to talk with you about improving your domestic violence initiative. Just give me a call at (480) 726-9833 or send an email to email@example.com. I'd love to hear from you.

Welcoming Sojourner Center's Maria Garay
Comments off · Posted by Stephanie in Workplace Violence
To my readers: I have the humbling privilege to know Dr. Maria Garay, Sojourner Center's new Executive Director. Together we are creating energizing, meaningful initiatives to address relationship violence. Recently Sojourner published a newsletter to introduce Maria to the community and she has generously allowed me to post her newsletter for you.
Dear Friends & Supporters,
My name is Dr. Maria Garay and I am so excited to be joining the Sojourner Center team as the new Executive Director. I come to Phoenix from Los Angeles, CA and have been working at the executive level for the past twenty years in the human services field. I have been at Sojourner Center since the beginning of September and can already see how special and amazing this place is. I am honored to be a part of this wonderful organization, with its rich history and mission of helping women and children overcome the impact of domestic violence.
You see, ending the cycle of domestic violence is something I am very passionate about. While this is a multi-faceted problem without an easy or clear solution, I believe Sojourner Center has and is ending the cycle of violence for the women and children we serve. I believe you can help us break the cycle of violence too, by talking about this issue and the work we are doing, with your friends, family, and coworkers. A recent study revealed that despite 80% of Americans acknowledging that domestic violence is a problem in our society, only 15% think it is a problem among their friends. We know this can't be true, since studies show 1-in-4 women will be a victim of domestic violence in her lifetime.
This widespread silence is a problem for many reasons. First, it makes domestic violence victims feel isolated and alone. Second, the silence perpetuates the shame and embarrassment that domestic violence victims might feel. Third, by not talking about it, people don't always know how to recognize abuse or how to help someone who is being abused.
Let's break the silence about domestic violence and make it easier for victims to get the help and support they need.
I also want to make sure you know about two very important numbers. The first is easy to remember, 2-1-1. This is a 24-hour bilingual hotline that will connect people in crisis with domestic violence and homeless shelters throughout Arizona. The second is 602-244-0089, this is Sojourner Center's 24-hour crisis line. We are available day or night to talk to anyone who may be in crisis have questions about domestic violence, or need help planning how to leave an abusive relationship. I hope you will put these numbers in a safe place where you can find them and share them if you ever need to.
Thank you all for your continued support and partnership with this amazing organization. Together, we can end the cycle of domestic violence for every woman and child we serve.

A 55-year-old Allentown man has been identified as the man who was found dead Thursday at Liberty Recycling Center in the city.
Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said Michael A. Dempsey Sr., whose last known address was in the 1100 block of East Cedar Street, was compressed between cardboard boxes inside a recycling/compactor truck.
Deputy Coroner Jason Nicholas pronounced Dempsey dead at 4:55 p.m. Thursday at the center at 526 N. Third St. His cause of death was attributed to mechanical compressional injuries, according to a news release, and his manner of death was ruled an accident.
Grim said Dempsey, in an attempt to keep warm overnight, may have been sleeping in a trash container used to collect cardboard outside an area business. He was crushed when the bin's contents were dumped into the back of the recycling/compactor truck, Grim said.
His body was discovered when the full truck arrived at the recycling center to dump its load, Grim said.

I'd like to take this time to tell my wife that she will not be receiving a Lexus or a diamond for Christmas. To be fair, I don't suspect she was holding her breath about either gift. But since today represents the official beginning of the holiday shopping stampede, I know that we will all be assaulted by television commercials that seem cruelly crafted to shame those of us who haven't parked their holiday gifts in the driveway or around their lovely's neck. I put up with these two doozies every stinkin' year:
Question: Do you think there actually are guys out there who are so enamored by Lexus' ad that they not only splurge on the latest model, but they put that ridiculous ginormous ribbon on the roof of the car? And do their neighbors hate them as much as I do?
Just so you don't think that I'm a total heartless scrooge, let me share the one television commercial that never fails to make my family room dusty.

What holiday commercials get under your skin? Are there others you look forward to every year?

Genesis The GreyKid - Do You Know
Do You Know who Genesis the GreyKid is? You do? Well then, you've obviously up on your underground rapper/poets. For the rest of us, we can consider Genesis' new video Do You Know one hell of an introduction to the VA native's unique stye. Opening with a spoken word piece before giving way to some straight up hip-hop founded on a MADLIB beat that could have only come from MADLIB, Know finds Genesis reflecting on his struggles, and the strength those struggles has given him: "I done seen times harder than you think / nothing to drink / had to fill the milk carton with water from the sink." For more fearlessly creative rap from The GreyKid keep an ear out for his upcoming Grey Matter album, set for release "soon" via Creative Control.

This chart created by humor website 9gag is based on the average penis sizes around the world, and everyone's probably pretty jealous of Congo right now.
The original page doesn't say where the statistics come from, but they definitely support some socially-perpetuated stereotypes.
The US is below the global average and if it's assumed the rest of Western Europe hovers around the same range as Germany, I guess we can't be surprised too when our girlfriends tell us they're studying abroad for six extra semesters.

IceHogs name Osiecki assistant coach
The Chicago Blackhawks announced Tuesday that they have hired Mark Osiecki as an assistant coach with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, joining head coach Ted Dent.
"We're thrilled to add Mark Osiecki to our coaching staff in Rockford," said Blackhawks General Manager of Minor League Affiliations Mark Bernard.

On Tuesday the East Carolina football team got up close and personal with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Pirates practiced at the New Orleans Saints facility on Airline Drive a few hours after arriving to prepare for Saturday's R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against ULL, and the team felt the championship aura there.
East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill said he is glad his players got to experience an NFL setting, where the Pirates will also practice Wednesday. He expressed gratitude to Saints owner Tom Benson for allowing them to use the facility.
"You can't help but notice that beautiful thing there (Lombardi Trophy)," McNeill said. "It gives them a little bit of energy, knowing they're practicing where Super Bowl champs and All-Pros practice. A lot of them have that aspiration of playing in the NFL, so it gave them a good taste. I was proud of that."
It's not East Carolina's first trip to New Orleans this season, as the Pirates ventured to the Crescent City in November to play Tulane in a Conference USA regular season game. East Carolina won that day, 28-23, and this time its stay in the Big Easy spans longer than just a day or two.
McNeill said he wants his players to have fun in New Orleans while still adhering to team rules.
"I want the kids to be smart. We have Pirates in Public - don't do anything to hurt the team or embarrass the team … but also embrace this," McNeill said. "It's a reward for what they've accomplished this year, division champs, 8-4 overall. I want them to enjoy it."
McNeill and the Pirates did not advance to a bowl game last season when they finished 5-7. This season, though, East Carolina came out firing, propelled by a potent offense featuring a sophomore quarterback Shane Carden and a sophomore wide receiver Justin Hardy.
The Pirates wrapped up their regular season with a 65-59 double-overtime win over Marshall. But now it's all about ULL and winning the New Orleans Bowl.
"Last year we didn't get a chance to play in a bowl game; that left a bad taste in our mouths," Hardy said. "This year it was our main focus to get back to a winning tradition and get back to a bowl game."

I got a JTag from a member on here, and while I wait for a replacement DVD drive, I put XeXMenu 1.1 on my HDD using Xplorer360.
It boots, but it won't detect my 1TB External My Book. I formatted it to FAT32 using Partition Magic and it won't detect the drive at all. I had it in the back USB port.
I'm trying to format it with Fat32Formatter now, but here's the kicker: my Xbox itself DID detect the drive(it came with 9199 dash). Is there anything special that I have to do for my USB drive in XeXMenu(other than putting my games in the "games" folder)?

There's nothing special in XeXMenu you have to do but you might want to consider formatting the drive to HFS+ as XeXMenu can recognize it and it will likely be quicker that way.
Also try a different usb port and see if that makes a difference

Rabbi Audrey R. Korotkin hopes to bring a sense of joy to Temple Beth Israel where she recently became spiritual leader.
Korotkin, who has served three other temples, said, "besides my rabbinical life experiences, I have an energy I try to put in everything and everybody." She said she wants people to have a sense of joy, a sense of celebration and a sense of blessing about their Judaism.
Congregants first became acquainted with Korotkin and that sense of joy about 10 months ago when she and her husband, Don C. Clippinger, first visited the temple.
Article Photos
Rabbi Audrey R. Korotkin is the new spiritual leader at Temple Beth Israel.
She wasn't looking for a rabbinic position but rather a place where she and Clippinger could worship after they settled into their retirement home in Tyrone this year.
Instead, the position came to her.
Temple Beth Israel had been depending on student rabbis and lay leaders for spiritual guidance for four years when the congregants learned she was a rabbi. After following the proper procedures required by the Reform Judaism movement in hiring a rabbi, she conducted her first Sabbath service July 2.
Fact Box
The Korotkin file
Name: Rabbi Audrey R. Korotkin
Family: Husband, Don C. Clippinger
Hometown: Philadelphia
Education: 1999 ordination, Hebrew Union College -- Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati; 1998 Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters, HUC -- JIR; 1979 graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park, in Russian Area Studies
Pulpits served: 2007-2010, Temple Adath Joseph, St. Joseph, Mo; 2000-2006, Temple Judea Mizpah, Skokie, Ill.; and 1998-2000, Temple Anshe Emeth, Piqua, Ohio.
Number of years of service: 11
She said the Yiddish word for what happened is "beshert" which means something fated or kismet.
Korotkin said she feels comfortable serving Temple Beth Israel.
"We came here last year to worship and pray. We got to know the people and have been to lots of events," she said.
She will serve part time, working 20 to 25 hours per week.
Korotkin said the congregation wants to continue having its lay leadership lead some Friday night services.
"One of the things I admire is how self-sufficient the congregation has become," she said. "There are so many talented people here."
She said people lead services and teach adult and children's classes, as well as adult Bible studies.
"It's such a complementary component of Jewish life that we have here. I think it is wonderful," she said.
Korotkin will be able to fill in some of the gaps, such as making pastoral visits when someone is ill or just being a listening ear. She will work with Hazzan Michael Horwitz, spiritual leader at Agudath Achim Synagogue, by co-teaching the 10th grade confirmation class and teaching Hebrew to youths in preparation for their bar and bat mitzvahs.
Although she is Jewish by ethnic background, Korotkin's family was not observant, and she only delved into her faith about 20 years ago. After she and Clippinger got married, they joined a temple in Louisville, Ky.
Clippinger, who had a Christian background, had an affinity for Judaism and converted.
"We went on our journey together," Korotkin said.
They took basic Judaism classes in Louisville under Rabbi Stanley Miles at Temple Shalom.
"He is still our rabbi, our mentor, our friend," Korotkin said.
During classes, Korotkin's natural curiosity drove her to learn more.
"If I asked one question, I had 10 questions waiting," she said. She also caught onto Hebrew quickly.
Clippinger said his wife has a facility for languages and can speak Aramaic (the language of the Talmud), Yiddish and Russian.
As a member of Temple Shalom, she taught Hebrew to seventh-graders and became more involved in making contributions to the community.
"The more I studied, the more I wanted to know. The more I became active, the more I thought, 'This is what I should be doing with life. This is what I was meant to do.'"
She is a graduate of Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and was accepted into its doctoral program before she was ordained and is continuing to work on her doctorate in rabbinic literature.
She is hoping to bring some fresh ideas to the temple, including summer outdoor services, a blessing of animals and healing services.
She also wants to continue the temple's community efforts. Korotkin and Clippinger attended the Sixth Ward Thanksgiving service, the Martin Luther King Day observance and participate in the temple's work at the Love Feasts at Simpson-Temple United Parish in the winter.
"It's part of our mission as Jews, as well. Don't put boundaries on helping others," she said.
"It already is a a great cohesive community. I want to encourage vibrance and energy so people sense the energy and become part of it," she said

The race for the 2013 NHL playoffs has reached a point of ultimate uncertainty.
Entering Friday evening, both conferences are stuck with a logjam on the bubble and a virtual tie for the eighth and final playoff spot.
The New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets are dead even at 48 points, but only one Eastern Conference postseason spot is available for the two of them. And, with the inexperienced New York Islanders only three points ahead and the red-hot Buffalo Sabres just four points behind, the situation could soon get even more confusing.
Meanwhile, out west, the Detroit Red Wings and Dallas Stars, each with 47 points through 43 games, have two games in hand but two points to make up on the eighth-place Columbus Blue Jackets. The receding Minnesota Wild, stuck at 51 points, are quickly sliding back onto the bubble, too.
A lot more will be known about both conferences' scenarios and odds after this weekend, which features a plethora of contests between teams fighting for their postseason lives.
Which games carry the most enormous playoff implications throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday night? A breakdown of four critical matchups falls on the coming slides.

The third phase in the fresco cycle. After the sinopie is compelted, then the artist adds the final layer of smooth plaster (intonaco) to the walls one patch at a time. Colors are applied here while the intonaco is still damp and able to absorb them.
The final step in the fresco cycle. Italian word for a day's work. Each plaster patch ws what the artist planned to do in one day. Because of the 1 day constraint: fresco technique encouraged advanced planning, speed of execution, broad brushstrokes, and monumental forms.

BESSEMER, Alabama - Monday is shaping up to be a busy day for Bessemer Cutoff Assistant District Attorney Jill Ganus Veitch and Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge David Hobdy.
Within a matter of a few hours Veitch is expected to make closing statements in one capital murder trial and then present opening arguments in another unrelated one - in the same courtroom, before the same judge (Hobdy), but with different juries.
First, one jury is to hear closing arguments this morning and then begin deliberations in the trial of Jeremy Coleman, 37, of Bessemer, who is charged with capital murder in the Dec. 2, 2010 death of his stepson, Marcus Hill, a 4-year-old special needs student.
On Friday, Jefferson County Medical Examiner Dr. Greg Davis testified that the boy's death was a homicide, based on an autopsy performed by Dr. Robert Brissie, who died in November. Defense experts, however, said the boy's death was caused by an accidental fall several days earlier.
After both the prosecution and defense rested their cases, Hobdy told the jurors to return at 10:30 a.m. Monday to hear closing statements and to begin their deliberations.
Veitch and Assistant Jefferson County District Attorney Leslie Schiffman are to each make closing statements in the Coleman case. Defense attorneys Yusuf Salim Olufemi and Ed Tumlin represent Coleman.
After Hobdy sends jurors back into the jury room to deliberate in the Coleman case, he will bring into his courtroom another jury that has been waiting a month to hear opening arguments in the capital murder trial of Antonio Burns.
Burns is charged in the Dec. 31, 2011 shooting death of 23-year-old LaDarrius Watson and with the attempted murder of Terrell McMullin, who was 19 years old at the time of the shooting.
The jury in the Burns case, the jury of 14 - including two alternates - had been selected Feb. 10 but opening statements and testimony had to be delayed twice, first by the weather and then again when Veitch had emergency oral surgery and a key witness couldn't make it because of a death in his family.
Veitch plans to make opening statements in the Burns case. Assistant District Attorney James Butler is also prosecuting the case. Burns is represented by attorneys Matthew Gosney and Tommy Tucker.

Put olive oil/butter in everything you eat, drink heavy-cream, etc.
Oh, and skip the fruit juices..
I just started the primal approach yesterday and in these two short days have struggled to get enough fat while not exceeding the target of <100g carbs. Natural fruit juice has accounted for most of my carbs.
So, I find myself in the situation of needing many more fat grams after I've already reached my carb and protein targets.
Any suggestions? ...besides eating hot dogs and bologna? :-)

Yup to what Raphael said.
You'll learn to love butter & coconut/olive oil. Then there's...bacon.
Try not to drink your calories, too. Fruit juices are pretty equivalent to straight sugar. Eat fruits instead!
Eat fatty meat cooked in fat . Dairy products are handy for topping up on fat if you can tolerate them: butter and cream are best as they're low in lactose and casein (milk sugar and protein; difficult to digest).
Fructose has been described as "alcohol without the buzz", as it's metabolised in the same way and so has pretty much the same negative health effects when consumed in any more than small quantities like those found in whole fruit. Drinking fruit juice has also been compared to washing a vitamin pill down with Coke.
Get rid of fruit juice, it is terrible.
Fats are hard to get unless you put butter and olive oil in everything. Fatty meat is probably the best choice for fats.
I agree, nix the fruit juice first and foremost, then worry about fats.
You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
Hahahaha! Chima_p! Who doesn't love it?
Hey, no one mentioned nuts or seeds. Put those in your snack list and for a great treat, add them to your salads as well.
Thanks for all your recommendations. I cut out the fruit juice and had a much easier time with hitting the targets. Using olive oil. Eating almonds and sardines or venison summer sausage as snacks to even things out.
Day 4 now and so far so good, but not sure what or when to expect ketosis to start showing an impact. The main difference so far is less gas (both ends).
Fortunately I have fresh venison, venison summer sausage and brats, home grown beef and fresh eggs in abundance. ...and also a good excuse to start fishing early this spring too. :-)

The pair, who announced their split in December, appeared to be more than friends at Friday evening's SHG's Eden Hollywood opening, where they were "constantly touching and kissing each other," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
After arriving with pal Brittany Snow around midnight, the actors quickly took to the dance floor. "Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her," the source says. "Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the two were inseparable after that."
Eventually heading towards a table, the couple proceeded to get cozy – and stay that way for the rest of the evening.
"Zac sat in between her legs and she wrapped her arms around him," the onlooker notes. "They were making out on and off for the last hour or so until closing. They acted like there was no one else in the room."

North Sherman Street Bridge over I-83 opens
Span connects Springettsbury, Spring Garden townships
Published 3:28 PM EDT Nov 01, 2012
PennDOT crews today finished installing signs and guide rails Thursday and opened the new North Sherman Street Bridge over Interstate 83.
The bridge connects Springettsbury and Spring Garden townships in York County and had been closed to traffic since Jan. 23.
Built in 1959, the bridge that previously carried North Sherman Street over I-83 provided only 14-feet 1-inch of clearance for I-83 traffic.
North Sherman Street averages more than 10,000 vehicles daily.

We had another guided walk last night, in fact we had to run two walks as we were oversubscribed. As usual people were blown away by the seabird spectacle. It was a lovely evening ,although the southerly winds were a bit chilly. We saw puffins again, a total of 14, so, so far a 100 percent success rate. Our guided walks will continue into June and July, chck the website for dates.
A good number of the kittiwakes are now incubating eggs. I will have to check my notes from previous years, but it feels they are a few days earlier than in recent years. If this is true, it is maybe because there is a good supply of food (sand eels) and the birds have been able to get themselves into a good breeding condition earlier. There were certainly huge flocks of kittiwakes feeding on the water very close to the cliffs, so hopefully my theory is correct. 2009 was an excellent breeding season for seabirds across Scotland and this was related to a good plentiful supply of sandeels. The theory is that the cold winter of 2008/9 was enough to cool the sea just enough and sandeels flourished. Winter 2009/10 was even colder, so if this theory is correct, we are due another bumper seabird season. Watch this space!
Earlier in the day i was speaking with Year 1 Children from Mackie Academy. They have been invited to design a poster to promote the wildlife spectacle that is Fowlsheugh. The posters will be used around Stonehaven as part of our marketing tool. The lucky winners will win a boat trip from Stonehaven to Fowlsheugh.
Don't forget that the first of the season's guided walks at Fowlsheugh takes place tomorrow evening at 7pm. Booking is essential and there are still places available, so give us a ring on 01346 532234 (leave a message and we'll get back to you) or email email@example.com .
We can't guarantee puffins, but there's a very good chance that we will see them!
Hi..we paid a quick visit to Fowlsheugh last Thursday, it is looking magnificent. The birds are well into the swing of the breeding season. We saw our first razorbill egg and the kittiwakes are well into nest building. There were plenty of birds on the cliffs and on the water. We also saw a peregrine, which flushed waves of birds off the cliffs as it flew by. We visited the Stonehaven Brownie Group in the evening for some seabird activity fun. the Brownies are drawing us some posters to advertise the reserve..so keep an eye out for their work in Stonehaven.

In the age old battle of the bulge it seems like Angelina Jolie has a leg up on the rest of us at fighting off temptation. What's her secret to kicking Angel Food Cake to the curb?
The forever slender Angelina Jolie is reported to breakfast on a tablespoon of coconut oil and a protein shake or a handful of cereals for energy. That explains the healthy glow, coconut oil is rich vitamins and calories.
Although naturally slim with no appetite for weight Jolie has a serious workout routine she developed while preparing for her role in Tomb Raider. She started kickboxing workouts, bungee ballet, scuba diving and weapons training, including sword fighting and spear throwing. She also learned to row, dive and even play soccer.
Martial arts training provides an excellent full body workout. Much of Angelina's training involved working on a heavy punch bag to build kicking strength in her hips and thighs, as well as upper body strength and endurance. A one hour kick boxing session can burn up to 800 calories for someone of Angelina's frame.
Angelina's thigh proves she's got nothing to hide with her ability to avoid a sweet temptation. #divavsdessert

By Hank Pellissier
Like many American parents, you may let dietary standards slide during the summer months. If so, keep in mind that a daily menu of junk food — soda, candy, and sugary or salty processed treats — can considerably decrease your child's IQ. In England, children ingesting an unhealthy diet averaged five IQ points lower than their more intelligently-fed peers. In India, students devouring foodstuffs full of artificial flavors, preservatives, and coloring lagged 14 percent behind their more organically-fed rivals, claims an article in the Hindustan Times. Minerals like iron and zinc are also essential. Indian researchers noted that children with anemia (iron deficiency) were burdened with significant developmental delay, and those with zinc deficiency have "memory deficits."
What you can do: Between occasional ice cream treats, feed them a regular diet of brain food, especially these four healthy staples kids love.To further bump up scholastic skills, serve your students an East Asian staple. A Japanese study of 290 children discovered that those who were fed wheat had an IQ four points lower than those whose main grain was rice. And if they demand a fun food, let them chew on gum (preferably sugarless), which stimulates their brain stems, according to Professor Lehrl. The chomping motion increases the flow of blood to their brain, elevating their attention level and ability to learn.

What a massive evidence to my claim: World has gone crazy and stupid!
Are there any (will for) diversity in this world left?
Anyone still tries to be original?
Anyone with brains?

I knew a lot of teens these days were completely f**kd over but Damn...
My Dad got me mom an iPad but I'm not jealous and i certainly don't rant on Twitter about not getting one.
What gets me the most about this is that some people actually DID get an iPhone, but why would you have to shoot yourself for getting a black iPhone over a white one
Ungreatful bastards, they should all be shot.
73. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
especially sense there are so many nice cases for the iPhone that you probably NEED to get anyway. o.o

they dont need to show it on the report cards they need to show it in their work, they need to work to see what it is to earn money for a living.

Lord have mercy on them poor ungrateful teens. Cursing their parents coz they didn't get an ipod or ipad or iphone!! But serious, i fail to see what it is about the iphone that turns people into brainless zombie-sheep. Baaaaah!!!!

you all so called apple fan boys have really gone mad .
You are caring for a bloody nonsense i phone and disrespecting your parents
the apple sucks and so the apple fans .
14. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
It mainly comes down to expectations built by parents and the brand identity of Apple. Obviously the kids had been catered to beforehand by their parents so they expected more of the same. And of course an iPhone is a status symbol like owning a car. It plays out much like Cartman's behavior on South Park's Human Centipad episode.
Now, while it may not be entirely their fault they're being completely ungrateful pieces of s**t, that doesn't make me want to bitchslap the piss out of them any less.
31. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4830; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I know what you mean. These kids are delusional & frankly disrespectful. I can see why their parents didn't get them their iPhones. Look at what they are posting. Some of these kids say they hate their parents, some even go as far to curse them out.
I think Sniggly is right & this might be their parents faults. I do sense that these kids are spoiled. I mean read their posts. They sound like what Bluesky02 said "Apple's Zombies". These are the future i$heeps.
Sniggly I am with you, I am for the bringing of these children back to reality. I prefer the "baby powder" b*tch slap/back hand to the face technique. These kids need to be knocked off their high horse. What is sad is that they want to be like everyone else, carbon copies no originality. NOT me, I prefer to be original & not part of the Apple iPhone motley crew.
If Apple fans are anything like those kids, then count me out. Doesn't taco50, 530gemini, & gallitoking kind of sound like those kids when the post here on PhoneArena.com? Just thinking out loud! :-)

Feels pukish after reading through those comments! Have these kids(Yeah! Kids!)ever thought of people in Africa who dreams of having a cellphone? Well mr.Jobs... you are responsible for world hunger... :P #getagalaxys3nextxmasyoupoorlosers

stupid kids depending on their parents to get them their iOS devices for Christmas when they obviously should've just sat in Santa's lap and told him their Christmas Lists like everybody else did for their Smartphones and Tablets. the nerve of these iFans huh? :P

^That's why, everytime I see a person holding an iOS device, I laugh my ass off XD
18. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
Damn, unappreciative, kids. Just want something because all their friends want or have one.
The good thing to come out of this, is that it proves us old people right. It's not the product, It's the status symbol it brings. I dare anyone to ask these young kids why they want one. It might surprise people that it's not because of what it can or can not do.

while people are homeless, starving and others dying of horrible doseases and cancer you habe these spoiled rich idiots who want to say fml over a stupid phone? I seriously would love for them to get reality checks and live in someone elses shoes for a day. I am about ready to give up on humanity all together.
22. JR990 (Posts: 3; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
What a bunch of spolied idiots, brats, whatever you want to call them! Get a job, save your money, and get your own phone. BTW, learn to spell CAMARO the right way too! "
Waah, I hate my parents, all they gave me for Christmas is a roof over my head, food and love. They suck!"
41. twenti7 (Posts: 152; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
Accidentally thumbed you down.. The "camero" (it hurts to even type it like that) made me mad too.
48. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
Yea i think that out of all those stupid statements they made the most retarded and hurtfull was that idiot spelling "camero"
45. Justbob (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Obviously these "kids" don't know what Christmas is all about. Go to some third world countries and see what they get for Christmas... Probably a used flat soccer ball and ripped t-shirt! Ungrateful brats, Christmas is all about giving, not getting. Wonder what they bought for their parents???
64. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Christmas is about getting together with your family and loved ones, not about getting stupid gifts you won't care about in a year. I have lost a lot of my family and would give anything to be able to see them again. These fools sicken me like no other, I know they don't mean it but COME ON. How can you say you hate your parents over a stupid gift you wanted to get? They gave you life, feed you, house you, support you. My mom's health is fading away and you want to cry and whine over a phone. REALITY will come faster than you think and when it does, having a damn iphone will be the least of your worries.
75. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
My christmas present this year was a lot of family drama and my grandfather dying the next day. Not getting a new gadget should be the least of these idiot's worries. Appreciate what you have, anything you might get, and spend time with your family.
24. jellytime (Posts: 135; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
So thats were apple gets most of their money. From spoiled teens.
25. ivanko34 (Posts: 617; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
So it means that apple customers are idiots to hate their parents because they didn't get their shinny gadget
Apple did a very bad brainwash
39. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I don't like Apple at all, but they're genius with advertising. People have no clue why they want an iPhone so bad, they just do. I hope this craze ends soon, people are really starting to annoy me!
26. Eingild (Posts: 203; Member since: 19 Apr 2011)
Those ungrateful bastards. I'm glad I was raised in a country where children still know how to respect their parents.
32. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Me too, I totally Agree with you here, glad I was raised in an environment not centered on gadgets which you can live easy without anyways. But cursing their own parents via twitter for not receiving what they exactly want is beyond my understanding.
27. faz28 (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
This post has made me reckon tht PhoneArena seems to be a PR wing of Apple.They keep posting ''news'' very frequently that glorifies iPhone in someway or the other.
for eg :- i) Police uses iPhone to lure criminals or ii) 92% of mobile shopping is done on iPhones and i Pads or iii) A gallon of gas could power your iPhone for 20 years etc etc.
I have no problems with the ''news'', but somehow the articles are in a manner tht they are written and properly planted in articles section seems like a PR activity for APPLE.

wow...just wow. I cannot believe children these days. This is why i wont be having children of my own lol
38. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Ha, you can have kids, just don't spoil them like these kids, they're rotten.
35. metoyou (Posts: 279; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
All these comments proved a few things KIDs in the world is getting more spoil and SUPER DISRESPECTFUL!!!! should give birth to a candy at least you can eat it when it speak like that to you!
I would f**king smack the s**t out of them till they learn how to respect and know how to EARN it themself! not EXPECTing
Ok im kid too well big kid now lol and i NEVER speak like that to my parent period!
36. willywill_evo (Posts: 162; Member since: 05 Jan 2011)
this is sad
37. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
People are so vile and ungrateful. What's wrong with the world?!
40. twenti7 (Posts: 152; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
Where is my iPhone?? All I got was a stupid vacuum cleaner, socks, apartment furnishings, and a few giftcards! I hate my life!
Actually I'm quite happy with what I got for Christmas this year; especially the vacuum cleaner and socks. Some kids have no concept of what it means to work for what you have, and it absolutely pisses me off.
79. BattleBrat (Posts: 1454; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Yes, one of the best things I bought when I got my first apartment was a Vacuum cleaner (A Dyson animal, since I was buying the sky was the limit)
42. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Such a shame that their Christmas is defined by whether or not you have an Iphone under the tree!! Although I dont care for the iPhone, its like thats the only phone we have in this world.
im glad that i dont have the iPhone anymore. No disrespect to Steve Jobs, but i dontlike his products because their not as universal as Android or even Blackberry. I dont like the fact that you have to do everything thru iTunes
Im glad that im not their parents cause if they were that ignorant to me........im taking ALL of their stuff back!!!! lol
43. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
people please... kids say the hate their parents for every time they dont get what they want... and loved them when they do.. they are just venting... no need to get up in arms... and bringing hunger and homeless people in this topic.. is so irrelevant
51. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Man please don't go with these spoiled rotten ass hole kids that talk trash bout their parents. or being jealous of their friends for not getting a iPhone/Ipad
55. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
dont be ignorant there is nowhere in my comment states that I support their actiosn .. I stated that there is no need to be judgemental when is very clear that those spoiled kids are just venting... they go from hatin parents to loving parents in seconds...
61. xiobnb (Posts: 74; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
this still doesnt give them the right to curse their parents...they can say it in their mind if they want ..but there is a limit..you dont go out public..i dont know what you are think..but these brats should be kicked out of the house
70. niteshbids (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
That again is something really disgusting and distasteful! This only implies that what care for/ love are the gadgets/cars/stuff and not their parents/family! Parents/family are just an ATM for these ungrateful people and hold no other importance in their lives
44. devon613 (Posts: 114; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
all i can say is wow...people are ungrateful..u lucky u even got anything or let alone a roof over ur head..smh
46. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
why lucky?... in this life nothing is giving to you... you fight for everything.. if you didnt.. your parents did...
49. metoyou (Posts: 279; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
That's not what he meant.. your comment is irrevlevant
52. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
thats exactly what he meant.. life is not about luck .. is about decisions... besides. how do you know thats not what he meant?... tell me I wont judge...
71. niteshbids (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
Galliotking, the kid who got a roof over his/her head is indeed lucky. True, their parents worked and fought for it but the kid sure is lucky. Its not his/her hard work or decision that got the kid to be born in such a family.
An if its a conscious decision to berate and curse your parents (as your post suggests that life is only about decisions) then i can hardly say that its a sound decision.
Could i just ask - What phone do you own??
47. DrAnon (Posts: 4; Member since: 30 Nov 2011)
OK, I'm pretty sure a lot of them, perhaps the majority, is sarcastically mocking the rest. And I'll have a hard time trusting anyone who suggests my view of human nature isn't cynical enough. It is.
