Violent teen mugger given another suspended sentence
A DUBLIN youth, who dragged a teenage girl to the ground by her hair when he stole her mobile phone, has been given a nine-month suspended sentence.
The 16-year-old boy, who is in care, appeared at the Dublin Children's Court. He pleaded guilty to the robbery of the teenage girl at Rathsallagh Park, Shankill in south Co. Dublin on June 12th last.
Judge John O'Connor imposed a nine-month suspended sentence consecutive to a two and a half year suspended sentence the teenager was given recently for an "absolutely savage" robbery. The order means the boy, who cannot be named because he is a minor, must stay out of trouble for the next three and a half years to avoid both sentences being activated.
The court heard that the girl was dragged to the ground by her hair and suffered cuts to her knee and lips as she had her phone worth €500 stolen.
Judge O'Connor had been furnished with a victim impact statement and a probation report on the teenage defendant, who has repeatedly broken bail conditions.
Earlier, the court had heard that the youth had taken a cocktail of pain killers and other drugs at the time of the robbery. He has one prior criminal conviction, also for robbery, and had been staying in hostel accommodation at the time of the crimes as a result of family problems.
For the robbery of the girl, Judge O'Connor imposed a nine-month term but suspended it for 12 months on condition he is of good behaviour. He also ordered that this was consecutive to the longer suspended sentence which was handed down earlier this month.
The youth had been given a two-and-a-half year suspended sentence from the Circuit Court for taking part in a vicious gang robbery of a 28-year-old Chinese man at Liffey St in Dublin city-centre on July 10th last.
CCTV footage of the incident shows a pack of teenagers surrounding the man who was repeatedly punched, kicked and kneed. They ripped his shirt ripped off him before he was pulled him to the ground where the gang rained kicks to his head and body.
The 28-year-old could be seen trying to protect himself and struggled back on to his feet while the youths had him surrounded and were kicking and punching him. A final blow to the back his head saw him knocked out, flat on his back, lying motionless as his phone was stolen, and his shoes were then taken off his feet by the youths who then fled.
Judge O'Connor said: "I have seen that video on a number of occasions and each time I am equally shocked."
That victim suffered cuts and swelling to his face, a lump on his head, bruising on his legs and severe bruising on chest. Three other youths have been given a suspended sentence for that robbery while one 18-year-old male was detained for 10 months and a 15-year-old girl was also given a three-month custodial sentence for her role.
Judge John O'Connor had described that incident as "absolutely savage" and had held that the gang robbery case was too serious to be dealt with in the juvenile court.

If you are looking for a lawyer for Divorce/ Separation, Hubert IS NOT the lawyer for anyone. I have been trying for over two years now, and he just does not care about my case. I have sent several emails, left several call messages, and I get shrugged off. I paid this man A LOT of money, and I did more work the him. He should pay me back, cause he isn't worth one cent!!!
Posted by lauren
Hubert Alexander is the best lawyer I have ever seen. And I witnessed miracles with this man. I was facing many many many years in prison . Not jail. And this man got me out of every bit of it. No jail time and just probation. I have never felt more comfortable and okay. When he couldn't get ahold of me to let me know I had court. He went out of his way to find me. He takes every case seriously and does every case with such compassion. He was born to be a attorney. I have watched him pursue many cases and fight to win. Hubert doesn't take no for a answer with any judge and is fearless and bold in the courtroom. Boone or nothing intimidates this man. He says stuff that makes the jury and judges mouths drop and walks out smiling every time. I will never use anyone else but him. I don't feel comfortable and trust no one but this man.
Posted by Tabitha
Hubert has represented me in 2 separate cases. He literally knew more about the state laws than either of the judges. I was so amazed at his knowledge. One tging I can honestly say, is when I am in Hubert's hands in a court room. I know I'm in the best hands, I could possibly be in.. He is brilliant. He got both my cases taken care of simply because of his knowledge of Arkansas laws. Both was thrown out.... Literally amazing, one case I knew I would almost certainly been found Guilty in, NOT... With Hubert, he walked up handed over some state law, an even stomped the judge an the case was dismissed...:-) He still has that passion for what he does. He comes across as "Boss" satus, but has a huge heart. But I can assure u when Hubert walls into the court room, He is recognized an respected... I strongly recommend Hubert. This man literally world miracles!!!!

The game was tied at one point 19-19, and Louisiana Tech Head Coach Kerry Rupp showed his confidence in his young players by putting them on the floor with veterans DeAndre Brown and Olu Ashaolu.
The Bulldogs would close the half on a 9-0 run to take a 28-19 halftime lead. While the three freshmen eventually were replaced by Tevin Hall, Darius Rdding, and Antwond Roshell; the young guys helped spark the run that led to a lead the Bulldogs would never relinquish.
McNeill, a 6'1" point guard from Conway, AR, started the game for the 2-1 Bulldogs. Johnson, a 6'7" forward from North Hollywood, CA, ended up starting the second half. Late in the game, when Coach Rupp needed a little more size and defense on the wing, he turned to a fourth true freshman, Cordarius Johnson. All four freshmen showed flashes of what this team can become. McNeill is a steady lead guard that can knock down the open shot with confidence. Duece Johnson is already a very good defender and rebounder. Smith looks like he could be a shooting guard of the future, while Cordarius Johnson has a similar game to sophomore Darius Redding.
It was the veterans that started things off for Louisiana Tech. Olu Ashaolu and DeAndre Brown each had 6 points to lead Tech in the first half. The two would end up finishing the game with 10 points apiece. Sophomore Brandon Gibson, who showed signs of being able to create his own shot against Texas, did just that by scoring all of hius 12 points in the second half for Coach Rupp.
Roshell and fellow junior J.L. Lewis both provided solid defense down low and helped keep Houston's Maurice McNeil and Kendrick Washington out of the paint. Roshell had a big block and an offensive rebound in the 9-0 first half run.
The Bulldogs head to Irvine, CA where they will take on Seattle, Navy, and UC-Irvine. 6'9" Romario Souza will have to sit out the Seattle game to complete a four-game suspension handed down by the NCAA. Seattle's two top scorers early this season are 5'10" and 6'0" guards, so expect Tech to go small much like they did against Houston. Against the Cougars, Coach Rupp would often have Ashaolu or Duece on the floor with three guards and a small forward.
Navy and UC-Irvine have had rough starts to the season. They will look to get their seasons on track out in Irvine. Louisiana Tech will add Souza to the lineup as the Bulldogs will look to continue their early season good start. Navy and Irvine will have a little larger lineup than Seattle, so Roshell, Lewis, and Souza should see some solid minutes.
So far so good for a young team with just one senior. Lets see what the Bulldogs can put together out west this weekend. It should be a good trip.

Replaced Old English andwlita (from root of wlitan "to see, look") and ansyn, the usual word (from the root of seon "see"). In French, the use of face for "front of the head" was given up 17c. and replaced by visage (older vis), from Latin visus "sight." To lose face (or save face), 1876, is said to be from Chinese tu lien. Face value was originally (1878) of bank notes, postage stamps, etc.

Interesting editorial and up-to-date new technologies. Also has been doing seminars in Sydney recently so familiar to ICT co-ordinators and librarians.
Used to get newsletters. Introduced me to new ways of thinking about education.
Need to spend some more time here. Very interesting info in previous entries about how to use blogs to enhance learning and understanding.
Good technical info about using edublogs and other software. Also good place to see the comments of other beginner bloggers.
I mostly watch the vlog. I find it pretty interesting. Don't turn it off after 30secs so that must be a good thing. His insights are usually good because they can be applied at any level. Eg turning your thinking on it's head a little.
Community that I have been studying for uni.
I've just started reading this. Some good links for teachers.
I've been reading his updates fairly regularly. Love that it helps me understand the complexities of what other people are writing about. For example I've read lots on collaboration and I think he understands it's really complicated.
Also I've learnt alot about the complex dynamics of collaboration. Everyday I think he impacts my thinking a little bit.
Mix of everything. Educator from Australia. Strong indirect links from him to Edna, that's probably how I got to him.
Adds alot to the general conversation I think.
I have been getting emails from him for a while and find them useful but a bit on the corporate side.
I think the most important thing I've learnt here is the idea that we need to keep thinking about the idea of public and private spaces. We don't necessarily want one huge public Facebook where all relationships are of the same value.
Lots of blogging resources. Might be useful for the bloggers corner.
If this had a really good push behind it it would be sooo... goood. Basically easy to use web-based software and forums for collaborating with schools all over the world.
Has a strong literacy focus. I look in occasionally.

Sitter in Union City
I currently have 19 years of experience raising children of my own, and everyday we learn and grow together as a strong fun loving and warm household. This is a very important skill to have in this field. One must learn how to raise a child if they expect others to trust them with their own children. I am NJ State certified and licensed with a current CDA (Child Development Associate Certification). I hold a current First Aid and CPR AED certification under the American Heart Association. I am actively employed in a private daycare as a teacher with 15-20 kids daily. Teaching children is what I love and I have been told I do it exceptionally well (will provide references). I will provide an environment for your child without the multiple distractions and daily operations of a crowded noisy daycare. I am available part time evenings and weekends. Expect nothing but a family home environment with high quality learning, activities, reading and games. Your son or daughter will love their new family Childcare home. I have an 19-year-old, honor roll HS Grad currently in Med school, A 14-year-old gentleman of a son and a 14-month-old baby boy (newborn). My husband works for FDNY as an EMS Technician and he operates a CPR training center in NJ. We also have a beautiful 7-year-old Golden Retriever who loves children, and children love her. We are just seconds near the Lincoln tunnel and blocks away from most major highways. Please call if you feel we may provide the right service for you and your family. Thank You:)

We stayed here last night on our way back to Western New York from South Carolina. I called them Friday after reading reviews on Trip Advisor to see if they had connecting rooms available. Fortunately they did. Jeremy transferred me to reservations to book my two rooms while he checked in guests, and said to confirm back with him when I'd done this and he would go ahead and block off the connecting rooms. We did so without incident. However, upon arriving it appeared that someone had inadvertently broken up our block and there was someone in one of our rooms. Jeremy acted quickly and found us two more connecting rooms and went up to ensure they were in satisfactory condition and ready for us, which they were. We were just going to drop off our things and head to dinner - we noticed the smoke alarms were intermittently beeping so we let him know on our way out. Jeremy was able to change the batteries while we were out and there was no more beeping. We did notice the heater going on and off a bit in 209 (and I will ditto a previous poster about the pillows being a bit too fat) - FYI - but we had a lovely stay otherwise. The rooms were clean and the bathroom in the double queen room was very large! The breakfast buffet was good - had everything my family was looking for. There are only two tables in the breakfast room, but we were up early and had no problems sitting. So, overall, although we had a few minor glitches, they were taken care of courteously and very quickly. It is clear that the front desk staff take pride in their job, and seeing to it that their guests needs are met. The manager (although i did not meet her) has clearly done a wonderful job creating a positive environment for her staff (which creates a positive environment for all guests). Kudos to you all and thanks for a great stay. We will be back on our next drive through!

The Grumbling Gargoyle

I am in a dark, dark place this night
No light can guide my path
Nor company solace bring
I am alone
I am hurting
I am forgotten

Christmas Past...
And as Church bells sang their praises
Paying homage to the birth
Of a new Christmas morn
She gathered no comfort
From their Merry peal
Each joyous toll but a death knell
Striking her heart with cruel reminders
Of those already deafened
To their jubilant pleas

Beneath My Fur...
Beneath my fur
Beats a heart so strong
As to protect you
My whole life long
All is not lost
Can you not see
For I have you
And you have me

Christmas with Cameron...
It being the season of goodwill an' all that, this Gargoyle has taken it upon herself to compose a little Christmas ditty for the attention of our beloved bleeder...ooops sorry...'leader'...David Cameron...*spits*...
This is best read to the tune of...'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'...
A question Mr Cameron
How do you sleep at night
Knowing that your policies
Put people's lives in plight?
I suggest quite easily
For one who can so breezily
Deprive us of comfort and joy
All hope you destroy
As you deprive us of comfort and joy
Can you relax when bedroom tax
Is lurking at your door
Course you can 'cos it's not you
Who struggles to afford
All the things that we are losing
At your whim and by your choosing
Do you wonder why you are so abhorred
So abhorred
If we could we'd abhor you even more
Libraries shutting
Health Care struggling
Businesses closed down
Mentally disabled each victims of your plan
To cut the cost of public spending
By our lives prematurely ending
Happy now you've run us into the ground
Into the ground
And sadly come the end your're still around!!

When things unseen
Seek to be seen once more
When children cry
As the dead groan by

A hiccup a cough
A skip and a hop
An asthmatic wheeze
And a moan.
A grimace a groan
A breathless tired drone
A flip that's in need
Of a flop.
A sigh and a pant
A rambling long rant
A snigger a chortle a grunt
A grumble
A mumble
A loud belly rumble
Just about sums me right up!...

My Dog!...
My dog's been sick
He's standing in the mess
Staring at me smirking
'Cos he knows
I'm not impressed!
If I move to shift it
He rushes, with a grin,
To eagerly consume
What was better out than in!
So now we're playing
Mind games
I'll win this that's a fact
'Cos if he isn't careful
I'll swap him for a cat!

Marquis de Sade...
His perversions and lusts
His literary thrusts
Made him more of a man than many
I feel those who complained
Of the Marquis wide range
Did so 'cos they weren't
Getting any!!

That silent predator feeding upon our souls
Rupturing innocence through deformed menaces
Crushing all hope of sanctuary.
That great ejaculate of twisted themes
Seducer of sanity,
Defiler of purity
Keeper of Hell's anguish.
That suppurating Saviour
Devour me

I thought about love a lot recently, fleetingly considering its meaning. Well...I haven't arrived at any conclusions because I don't feel that 'Love' can be defined. Some schools of thought apply more chemistry to love than comfort...deeming it no more than a biological urge procured to provide continuity of the species...and whilst I partly agree with this, I feel that its purpose to sustain our longevity is but one of loves multi-faceted layers.
Love is labyrinthine in its complexities and I have no want to de-construct its machinations here...I know only that love is many things to many people, each experience of it being as unique as the individual who suffers its residency...and with that in mind...I shall tell you a love story of my own.
I have known love...and love has known me...indeed, we are still hearty companions... but this tale of love I have to tell is not one of partnerships and passions...it's one of tenderness,tolerance and sacrifice...and it revolves around an uncle of mine ...Tom.
In 1917 Tom was born into a loving family of no modest number, his being one of ten children. This would have been one of Tom's first encounters with love...that given to him by his parents and his siblings and eventually, the love he duly returned, as his own young life began to flower and mature.
It was during these early years that the first fractures in loves perfect presence began to appear, when two of Tom's small sisters were taken ill with Diphtheria and sadly died.
Whilst love remained, at this time, it was edged in sadness and melancholia...thus Tom learnt the pain of loss.
Aged sixteen, having left home, circumstance found Tom living in lodgings in London. There it was that he discovered another aspect of love...through his meeting the love of his life Netta and they were each inseparable...until, that is, the early death of his Father demanded Tom return home to help his Mother care for the large family.
More tragedy was to follow when an older brother was later reported 'Missing Lost at Sea' whilst serving with the British Navy during WW11...leaving the household broken and bare but not irreparably so...love could also heal.
Tom, however, had decisions to make regarding love. To stay with his Mother who, whilst putting no pressure upon him to stay, he knew would be hard pressed to manage without his support...or...to return to Netta who, unable to accompany Tom herself, waited for him in London where she hoped they would eventually be settled and able to continue exploring every nuance of their love.
After much thought and as difficult as it had been, Tom decided he couldn't allow his own happiness to overshadow the needs of the family...and so, with great reluctance and great sadness, after explaining the situation, he said goodbye to Netta.
They stayed in touch for some time but
eventually Netta married and, whilst they were still firm friends, their contact ultimately tapered away...and so...love was sacrificed...for love.
Tom never married, remaining at home with his Mother ( my grandmother ) who was to pass away years later...but long before she did...I came along.
Yet another aspect of love was to be found here when, at the age of five, my parents divorced. For reasons I wont labour you with now I went to live with Gran and Uncle Tom...where each day was a new experience of selfless love. Gran was a huge and vital part in all of this but this tale is of Tom...and so it shall remain.
Tom nurtured me through every juncture of my life. From infancy, to adolescence...all the way through to adulthood. He patched my grazed knees, he helped me with homework, he nursed me through sickness, he worried that I was reading and writing too much gory stuff, he made me laugh!
He taught me kindness and tenderness and much, much, more....but mostly...because of what he did and how he was...I learned of love. Yet you know the strangest thing? He never once told me he loved me...not once...but he didn't need to...love doesn't always need a voice.
Time moves on and eventually Tom's health began to fail. He'd helped to nurse most of his family through sickness, having provided seamless, loving care for my grandmother during her final months...now it was his turn to feel a new side of love...one where he would be looked after...by us...his family.
Now I am about to tell you of a thing which will never be removed from my memory...and it's a something that I will treasure always, as dramatic as that may sound...it involves three little words. You think you know what they are don't you?...You're mistaken...I'll explain.
Tom had been admitted to hospital. It was an occurrence that was becoming more frequent...and more worrying each time. His declining health and subsequent fragility meant that I had recently become his advocate whereby I looked after all of his affairs. Thankfully, this particular day Tom had recovered sufficiently enough as to be allowed to come home and so I'd happily gone to meet him.
As I walked into the ward I saw Tom chatting to a nurse and I heard her say to him, without a hint of malice...'Tom, you must really trust your niece'...to which, through the most genuine, honest smile I've ever seen, he simply replied... 'Beyond All Others'...and in that moment I knew a love of such purity as to put any other in shadow.
Uncle Tom....a truly gentle man....
Sadly, not long after this, Uncle Tom's condition deteriorated and I recall standing by his bedside at the hospital one evening...carefully trying to squeeze a little taste of a fresh cherry upon his tongue...when suddenly, he took my hand in his and ever so gracefully, lifting it to his lips, placed a gentle little kiss upon the back of it.
I don't know where his mind had taken him at that moment...but I'd like to think that in his final hours...maybe it was Netta's hand he was holding...who knows?
What I do know is that whilst 'Love' is many things, as it manipulates and maneuvers our lives around it, we could not exist without it...unfortunately many have ceased to exist because of it!
However, I was lucky in my life...I knew Tom.

A True Tale of a Spooky Peculiar Something...
Today I thought I'd share with you a true tale of a peculiar something that happened to me some years back when I stayed at my MG's ...( Mother Gargoyle )... house overnight, after popping in for a quick visit earlier in the day.
At that time I was expecting my first womb squatter...( or 'child' as some prefer to call them *shudder* )...and given circumstance had left me with no other plans that evening, I readily accepted my Mother's invitation to stay over. Not just 'cos she's a great cook but because she's good company too, lively, funny, mental and a great cook...did I mention she's a great cook?
Anyway, outside the night was cold and miserable but inside, near the roaring fire, sitting with a steaming mug of hot chocolate between our hands me and my Mum were cosy...(though I never
understood why we didn't each have a mug!).
Gradually, as the evening wore on, the heat from the fire and the general ambience of snug began to take effect and soon we were ready for sleep.
My Mum had offered me the spare room but in there there lurked a gargantuan chest freezer which held within its maw the remains of a cryonically suspended herd of cattle which she'd purchased from the local abattoir at a discount...and the motor had a strange hum to it that could easily be mistaken for muffled moos...so I declined.
Mother then suggested I sleep in bed with her but...here's the thing. We are each entitled to
our own little foibles and I respect this, however, my Mother's foible was to sleep in a cat suit so she'd look presentable should someone break into the house!
Yep! That's what she did, I jest ye not!
Don't misunderstand, she wasn't dressed as if she was auditioning for a part in a Batman movie...it was an all in one trouser suit thing, you know, the kind of outfit you'd expect if Coco Chanel did Onsies.
With it she wore a headscarf to keep her hair neat AND upon her lips she wore a subtle shade of salmon pink lipstick ( smudge proof )!
Don't know about you but I've yet to see a crime report proclaiming 'Burglars outrage at facing unkempt female!...."We're scarred...we may never burgle again"...lamented Slasher Smith'...
Regardless, I simply couldn't face that sight so I very happily settled for the couch, falling instantly asleep.
In the early hours of the morning I was awakened by the pronounced chill in the air. The only illumination came from the window facing me through which, amidst a subtle glow, the moon cast silvery shadows around the room. Gradually I became aware of a slight movement by the couch near my feet.
I sq
uinted my eyes to make more sense of what I was seeing.
With disbelief, I witnessed a twist of mist slowly forming from the floor towards the ceiling...narrow at the base and a shoulder span in width!
Silent, scentless...just there!
I was absolutely frozen not with fear...with incredulity....FEAR came shortly after when the wispy shape of a horses head started to nose its way out of the wall!!
Never have I moved as fast as I did that night...and as an ex dancer and school Games captain, ( back in the day ), ...that's saying something!
Sprinting up the stairs, I charged into my Mother's bedroom....gasping for breath but still functioning enough to notice that she lay sleeping, perfectly centralised upon the bed, arms folded like some funereal sculpture...scarf neatly in place...cat suit unruffled...lipstick un-smudged..
"Mum"...no response.
"Mum"...still nothing.
"Uhh? Wa...whosat...wassup??"...unconsciously her hands were checking out her dress status for neatness...( just in case I was a burglar )...then mild panic entered her voice as sleep began to melt away...
"Lynn! You ok?"
"Mum...there's a horse in the living room"
"There's a HORSE in the living room!"..I repeated, aware of how mad this must sound...but not really caring!
"Oh right"..she said, in the same casually accepting tone she used when the local shop was out of bread...."I'll get the torch"
Now then...I was so relieved to get any reaction from her it didn't cross my mind to question why we would need a torch. It was an average sized two bedroomed house...with electricity...and if a horse was lurking in there...we'd know!
But downstairs we went...Mother in Ninja mode...torch in hand...horse hunting.
It wasn't there, quelle surprise, but still Mother continued to check every nook and cranny of the place as calmly and as casually as you would search for misplaced reading glasses...in fact she'd be more frantic had that been the case!
Well, I wasn't going to risk another visitation by the ghost of Mister Ed...( any child of the late 50's 60's will know what I'm talking about here)...so I succumbed to Mothers suggestion and climbed into bed with her...resplendent, as she was, in her burglar friendly attire.
The rest of the night remained uneventful, apart from the contented snores of Mother who had resumed the rigid, centralised position of her perfectly neat and tidy slumbers.
The following morning, as I enjoyed a breakfast of pickled red cabbage on toast, ( it was a craving thing ), we went over the nights events. Without a doubt I had seen what I had seen, the twirling smoky mist and the wispy horses head coming through the wall.
I knew the houses in the area had been built post World War 2, having been fields prior to that but I didn't know much else of the area's history, so I remained without answers.
Mother insisted that whilst she believed me she'd never had any such experience in the house but then she'd never spent a night on the couch. She couldn't provide answers either but she did offer to investigate further by asking 'Maureen'.
"Who's Maureen?"...you ask...So did I!
"Maureen from next door... there's a good chance she'll know what it was all about"
I perked at this information, thinking that Maureen must be some kind of psychic or at least have further historical knowledge of the area. I couldn't wait to find out more!
"It makes sense really"...continued Mother.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if the head was sticking out of my wall...then the other end must have been sticking out of Maureen's wall!"
I never did get to the bottom of it all. All Mother said was that nothing came of her asking Maureen other than she'd stopped popping round for a coffee and tended to avoid eye contact in the street.
Maybe if I'd spent another night there I'd have been able to find out...straight from the horses mouth...who knows?

Philips Advertising Shoot
One of my commercial shoots: Photos featuring Chinese models as wallpapers. Those were downloadable on a Philips microsite. It was for the launch of a new "3D Shaver". The idea was to show four different women: A model, an artist, a office worker and an CEO. Thus, we shot on those four locations.
Thank You!

ACTION INQUIRYThe Secret of Timely and Transforming Leadership
By BILL TORBERT
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2004 Bill Torbert
All right reserved.
Chapter OneFundamentals of Action Inquiry
By "action inquiry," we mean a kind of behavior that is simultaneously productive and self-assessing. Action inquiry is behavior that does several things at once. It listens into the developing situation. It accomplishes whatever tasks appear to have priority. And it invites a revisioning of the task (and of our own action!) if necessary. Action inquiry is always a timely discipline to exercise because its purpose is always in part to discover, whether coldly and precisely or warmly and stumblingly, what action is timely.
These sentences are easy enough to read and to write, and they make action inquiry seem obviously worthwhile. When don't you want to act in a timely fashion? Yet action inquiry is also the hardest thing in the world to do on a continuing basis (at least so it feels to some of us who've been working and playing with it for three or four decades). The difficulty arises partly because of the unusual degrees of awareness of the present situation that high quality action inquiry requires. The difficulty arises partly because of the many different and potentially conflicting political pressures and standards of timeliness that may be at play in a given situation. And the difficulty arises partly because of how hard it is to develop a taste for making ourselves vulnerable to change at the very moment when we are also trying to get something done.
A small example of action inquiry may seem ridiculously simple. Here is a company president speaking by phone to her special assistant:
"I'm assuming you are handling the Jones contract. Let me know if you need assistance."
The president makes her assumption explicit and advocates that the special assistant seek her support, if necessary, to assure the job gets done. The assistant may say, "What? I've never heard of the Jones contract." Or, "I thought Paul was taking care of that." Or whatever the truth is, if it is incongruent with the president's explicitly stated assumption and offer of assistance. Many of the day-to-day frustrations of work life can be avoided by such brief assumption-testing action inquiries.
But even such obvious types of checking and inquiry as this president displays are rare in business, professional, and familial conversations. Consider the recent simulated operating room study of medical residents receiving training on how to avoid errors (Rudolph 2003). This study shows that in over 4,000 comments by the lead physician during simulated operating crises, only three combined some direction about what to attend to with an inquiry about what the assistant was learning. This small number occurred in spite of the fact that half of these young doctors were trained in a specific method for inquiring in the midst of action only minutes before the simulation. Yet their much more deeply internalized need to appear independent, competent, and knowledgeable interfered with showing the vulnerability necessary to learn the data that can prevent error (as a number of them acknowledged in postscenario interviews).
A shift in awareness is needed, a shift to a kind of awareness that shows us the opportunity to make a comment like the president's. This kind of awareness transcends the sort of implicit self-image that prevents medical residents from seeking colleagues' help in the operating room and instead attends responsively to the real need both the patient and we have for help. What is this awareness? How can we gain access to it in a timely way?
The Underwater Pipeline Project Manager
For some clues, let's listen in as Steve Thompson, a highly competent and well-paid manager, reconstructs a confrontation with his boss, Ron Cedrick. Steve's team is laying underwater pipeline when a storm begins to blow around their North Sea platform.
British National Oil Company had contracted with Ron Cedrick to construct and install its "single anchor leg mooring system" that can fill oil tankers at sea, eliminating the need for hundreds of miles of pipeline from the offshore oil fields. The initial underwater construction had been completed in a picturesque and protected Norwegian fjord. But we were now saturation diving for 8- to 12-hour periods from aboard a 600-foot derrick ship in the February North Sea, which can be unpredictably violent.
The most critical part of this dangerous procedure is the launch and recovery of the six-man bell through the "interface"—the wave-affected first 25 feet below the ocean surface. Rough seas have separated more than one diving bell from its winch. When this happens, there is little hope of returning the divers alive.
It was my first job as project manager, so it was of particular importance to me that the crew was doing an outstanding job and Cedrick was extremely pleased with our performance. Famously aloof, Cedrick wore a shiny gold metal hard hat. And, no matter how difficult, his projects always came in ahead of schedule.
The bell had just gone into the water for an anticipated 12-hour run when the wind changed direction and was coming at us from the same direction as the moderate swell, just as it does before it really blows. I alerted the shift supervisor to keep an eye on the weather and went up to the bridge for a look at the most recent forecast and facsimile, which confirmed my suspicions.
Just then, Cedrick came up to me, "I personally appreciate the fine job you and your boys are doing and I know it'll continue. I know the weather's getting up a bit, but we have to complete the flowline connection today to stay ahead, so we need to keep that bell in the water as long as we can before we let a little ole weather shut us down. I've seen the respect those boys have for you and I know they'll do what you ask."
"Yes, sir" I responded confidently. What was going on inside me at that moment sounded different, though. The moment I reviewed the weather on the bridge, I became tense with fear. I was afraid I wouldn't have the strength of character to shut down the operation in the face of my overwhelming desire to succeed objectively and in Cedrick's eyes. I was also afraid I would have to deceive my people into thinking that pushing our operating limits was justified.
The outcome was all too predictable. I kept the bell in the water too long. The weather blew a gale. The recovery of the bell through 20-foot seas was perilous. I compromised the safety of the divers and set a poor precedent for the permissible operating parameters. I received no satisfaction from the major bonus Cedrick gave me for "pulling it off"—we did complete the flowline connection. Inside me, the awareness that I had manipulated and jeopardized the safety of my fellow workers galled my illusion that I was an honest, ethical man.
After the emergency was over and the mission successfully accomplished, Steve Thompson could simply have congratulated himself for getting the job done in the face of significant obstacles and for winning the praise of his superior. Instead, his awareness was alert and vulnerable in a way that revealed a serious weakness of character to him that few have the strength of character to face. He became aware of a serious incongruity between his espoused or proclaimed values and his actual actions.
We were led into the Steve Thompson story by two questions about the kind of awareness associated with action inquiry. What is this kind of awareness that transcends all our implicit self-images that cramp awareness and prevent us from acting with integrity, mutuality, justice, and inquiry? And how can this kind of awareness be accessed in a timely way even in an emergency?
The case itself shows us no positive answer to these two questions. Steve did not display such awareness during his encounter with Cedrick, nor in the action-packed hours that followed. He got the job done and the divers out safely, despite the turmoil and danger. The story illustrates a type of awareness in action that puts action first and inquiry later, or not at all. Steve has a well-honed awareness of how to adjust himself and his team behaviorally from minute to minute to changing conditions. In engineering and social systems theory, we call that a high reliability capacity for digesting and learning from single-loop feedback (information that tells me whether or not my last move advanced me toward the goal). Reliable single-loop learning is critical for reaching goals efficiently and effectively, and Steve obviously demonstrated this quality of awareness in this case.
By the end of his experience, Steve also demonstrates a second quality of awareness that is much more difficult to describe. It seems something like an awareness that transcends one's self-image, since he sees his "illusion" about himself "destroyed." But it is not yet an empowering awareness that allows him in the midst of the turmoil to see a leadership initiative that generates greater legitimacy as well as efficiency and effectiveness.
Let us review more closely what happens in Steve Thompson's experience. At a certain specific moment, he becomes aware that there is a significant disharmony among several of the personal forces that motivate him. There's his desire to please his boss, innocent and constructive enough in itself, you might ordinarily think. Then there's his desire to perform efficiently and effectively, ordinarily considered the most constructive of inclinations in a work setting. Thirdly, there's his desire to deserve his team's respect by holding their well-being uppermost. Finally, there's his self-image as an honest, ethical man.
These four good chunks of Steve's soul find themselves in a new and stormy juxtaposition to one another during the outer storm in the North Sea. He reports his inner experience as "tense with fear" and "galling." He describes the outcome as the "destruction" of his "illusion" that he is honest and ethical.
But just a minute—what is really going on here? Is that self-image really an illusion? Isn't Steve's story to himself at the time and when he later writes it up the very essence of honesty? Isn't the whole reflective process that he chooses to engage in afterwards the very essence of ethical inquiry? How else may we develop true, ethical integrity except by the compassionate, unsparing observation of our lack of integrity?
By receiving feedback and reflecting on what he wrote, Steve gradually realized that yes, of course, he possessed a real, and a real strong, ethical concern. Indeed, this concern was motivating his entire self-criticism. He came to realize that two subtle qualities pushed him out of shape at the time of the storm, one by its presence and one by its absence. The quality whose presence pushed him out of shape was Cedrick's clever use of multiple types of power (his legitimate and potentially unilateral power as a superior; his authority and fame as an expert in his craft; and the sheer seductive, man-to-man power of his down-home-Texas-macho talk about "a little ole weather"). At the time of the storm, Steve could feel the effect of Cedrick's use of power on himself, and he could feel the implicit illegitimacy of the pressure. At the same time, however, he could not name what was happening to him, nor imagine a way to defang it. This happens to a lot of us, if not all of us: When certain types of power are directed toward us, we become stunned or hypnotized, unable to articulate to ourselves what is happening to us, and unable to take creative action in response.
The quality whose absence pushed Thompson out of shape was a kind of attention or vision that can impartially observe both the storm going on outside us and the storm going on within, which we can call super-vision.
Single-, Double-, and Triple-Loop Awareness
Systems theory offers a framework for naming and understanding supervision (Deutsch 1966; Torbert 1973). In systems theory terms, during his crisis with Cedrick and the weather in the North Sea, Steve successfully dealt with single-loop feedback. He adjusted his behavior throughout the storm in such a way that the men below were recovered safely. But he also experienced a jolt of double-loop feedback that he couldn't fully digest. He knew vaguely that this feedback required him to transform his structure or strategy, not just amend his behavior. We might say he needed to clarify that when the goals of efficiency, effectiveness, and legitimacy clash in a situation, legitimacy usually deserves to come first, effectiveness second, and efficiency third (because in the longer run, efficiency is only sustainable if it leads to effectiveness and effectiveness is only sustainable if it leads to legitimacy). We might also say that Steve needed to learn that when the existing authority structure (Cedrick, in this case) uses power in a way that threatens the legitimacy of the enterprise, a counterinitiative based on a kind of transforming power that enhances mutuality is called for.
But the very notion of transforming power that enhances mutuality is unfamiliar to most people, so it is not surprising that it was unfamiliar to Steve. Moreover, most of us treat our current structure, strategy, or action-logic as our very identity. To accept double-loop feedback can feel equivalent to losing our very identity. We will tend to resist that, unless and until we feel a still deeper spiritual presence within us that allows us to continue to feel ourselves as ourselves even as we try different roles, or masks, or strategies. This deeper spiritual presence or super-vision is not based on a self-image, but rather on experiencing the actual exchange occurring among the four territories of our experience—our attention, our strategies, our actions, and our outcomes. In systems theory, this is called triple-loop feedback because, as shown in Figure 1.1, it highlights the present relationship between our effects in the outside world and (1) our action, (2) our strategy, and (3) our attention itself. Triple-loop feedback makes us present to ourselves now. (When Thoreau said he'd never met a man who was quite awake, we think he meant he'd never met a man continually present to himself in this way.)
By role-playing alternative actions he might have taken in a training setting, Steve gradually realized that he needed to listen into, but not identify with, many other aspects of the situation of which he'd been implicitly aware at the time. At first, he thought the only alternative was to have disagreed with Cedrick in a direct confrontation instead of saying "Yes, sir." But he hadn't been completely confident that he would have to bring the team up early at that point, even though the weather report was worrisome. So why risk confronting the boss then?
A simple third alternative, which he next enacted, would have been to respond to Cedrick exactly as he did at the time, but then bring the bell out of the water earlier. In reflection, he realized that, to respond to the real situation in a timely fashion, his awareness at the time would have to have been able to embrace several disharmonious systems of energy—the actual external weather system, the team diving system, Cedric's psychological system, and his own psychological system. For example, his awareness would have to have been able to embrace Cedrick's very real compliment about how well the men thought of Thompson (not just its manipulative context) and to remember and feel clearly at that time his own usual sense of himself—that others' respect for him was based on his professional good judgment, not on being a daredevil or a servile, easily manipulated conformist. In other words, to respond to Cedrick exactly as he did at the time, but then bring the bell out of the water earlier, he would have had to feel as he was beginning to feel during the role play—that his power and Cedrick's power could mutually balance and enhance one another, like the balance of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the U.S. government.

Lareus at Wikia
The Supremacy, also known as the five Supreme Elementals, each have a direct spawned race that serve them loyally. But because these smaller elementals are sentient they have desires to break away from servitude at times. The rogue elemental creatures take on more humanoid forms and join the sentient races in the world. This cuts them off from the Supremacy, forcing them to grow on their own instead of siphoning power from their creator.
General Information about the Empire Elementals
In general they are usually forcused towards using magic, a few occassionally wield physical weapons. Even though they are cut off from the great power of the Supremacy, they are still superior casters in general, particularly of their own elemental magic.
When referred to, they keep the name of their previous elemental form. For example the phoenix Err'nal are still called Err'nal, but are called Empire Err'nal or Rogue Err'nal to describe their new status.
Elementals are immortal in general, but these rogues have different lifespans, but all are extensively long. Every one of them is also known to be able to change their physical form at will, though some have an easier time then others. There is no elemental in history that has been able or willing to change the color of their eyes.
A key feature of their power is they do not rest or eat. This makes them everlastingly awake and functional. It is only because of their weakness to any magic that is not of their own element that keeps them in check from overtaking towns at random.
Their weakness to other forms of magic is not a standard weakness that barely effects them, they can be devastated by it within moments. This is the only way to keep them in check, and so the Supremacy afflicts them with such a powerful curse. Other then the Jaak-enti, none of them have a real defense.
Each rogue elemental can take forms of random things to transport themselves or spy, including birds and animals. Each elemental can move through their home element to anywhere else their home element is located. This is a taxing power that they seldom use unless an emergency, as the Empire Elementals can be rendered unconscious by it. However the true elementals use it as a regular method of transport.
The Err'nal
The Err'nal are highly able to change their appearence, and are known to change whenever they feel like it. Reasons vary from vanity to disguise, sometimes the same rogue Err'nal takes on multiple lives for it's own amusement, they live for up to two thousand years.
There is no general personality among them, a heavy variety being found. Their eyes seem to burn, as traditonal for any fire elemental. They are the superior casters when dealing with fire.
The Jaak'enti
The tree like race of the forest elementals arn't known for shifting too often. They have the second to longest life span of around five thousand years, and do keep a general personality of calm. They are also the only creatures known to be able to directly manipulate natures plants. This gives them a superiority in jungle areas, but their casting skills in other elements are very low. They have no other method of offense or defense then manipulating trees, making them very vulnerable outside of their home element.
To their advantage, even in the forms they take (often Nechettan) their skin is superiorly hard to any other race. They are also oddly resistant to magical damage. This puts them as the most defensive available creatures, but almost helpless to fight others without use of physical weapons.
The water elementals of Lareus. They often take the form of the Macroceiri for the water origins. Another favorite form of theres is a very human look but the Lareusians do not know humans, and therefore relate it to Dael. They always have blue eyes, and it sometimes causes them to stand out amongst the Macroceiri.
Their water and frost magic perfected by mages is very potent. They are known for having the longest lifespan, ranging up to seven thousand years. They are one of the stronger elemental groups for learning how to exploit water in every location, however they are not willing to use it and disturb the balance unless needed.
They sky elementals live for around four thousand years, they and the Err'nal share the similar trait of their extreme power and chaotic style of life. They also change forms to take on different lives, and their powers do not need them to be surrounded by their element to work. The Ia'noa are extremely potent with their lightning spells.
Their most common physical form is a creature that resembles the Dael, only given powerful wings to take to the skies of their home element. These wings are often hidden as they are too easily targetted. They blend in well with Dael because they have a grey colored eye, only upon close inspection could anyone notice the clouds within or the sparks of lightning within.

This comprehensive text suitable for math, science, and engineering majors, treats standard elementary topics such as undetermined coefficients, systems of differential equations, substitutions and chemical reactions. Students benefit from the conceptual approach, motivated by detailed physical and mathematical examples. Previous exposure to linear algebra or vectors is not assumed: all necessary linear algebra techniques are introduces as needed with respect to systems of differential equations. Early and consistent notation emphasizes the characteristic polynomial, suggests shortcuts such as the exponential shift, and leads to a natural, unified understanding of undetermined coefficients. Expanded treatment of the qualitative theory of linear systems, especially as applied to nonlinear systems, includes new sections on Interacting Populations, Constants of Motion, Lyapunov Functions, and Limit Cycles and Chaos. BASIC computer programs on approximation algorithms illustrate the use of technology in numerical methods.

So, what will Lord Coe and his team be doing in the coming weeks and months?
Overall control of 2012 matters will be in the hands of the four members of a powerful Olympic board.
They are bid mastermind Coe, Olympics minister Tessa Jowell, London mayor Ken Livingstone and the new British Olympic Association (BOA) chairman Lord Moynihan.
Its 16-strong board will include Britain's three IOC members, BOA top brass, national and local government, a Paralympic representative and former athlete Jonathan Edwards.
The key position still to be filled is that of LOCOG chief executive, with headhunters looking to make sure he or she is in place by the end of the year.
Manchester Commonwealth Games supremo Frances Done, London Marathon chief executive Nick Bitel and Sydney 2000 organising chief Jim Sloman are possible candidates.
Security was a key issue even before the recent London bombings, and Home Secretary Charles Clarke will chair an Olympic security committee.
An Olympics Bill to set up the structures and safeguards London needs to deliver the Games is being accelerated through Parliament and should be passed by early next year.
Its main provision is the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), a public sector body which will control work on venues, the athletes' village and transport infrastructure and work closely with LOCOG.
The ODA will have the power to acquire the remaining 20% of the land needed for the Olympic Park, as some local businesses are refusing to accept the terms on offer.
It will also be able to prosecute ticket touts, remove non-official adverts and crack down on street trading near Olympic venues.
The London Development Agency - an organisation set up by the mayor to promote economic growth - and Transport for London will begin preparation work until the ODA is set up.
A new Olympic lottery will provide £1.5bn towards the £2.375bn cost of funding the Games, and scratchcards have already been launched.
The planned council tax increase (38p a week for Band D houses), which will raise a further £625m, will not kick in until next April.
A further £250m will come from the LDA.
The main focus of 2012 building work will be the Olympic Park in Stratford in east London.
Construction companies are competing for contracts, and there will be enough work to keep many of them busy for most of the next seven years.
The Hockey Centre will come next, and preparations on the canoe/kayak slalom centre at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire will start within the next 18 months.
Work on the £250m Olympic stadium itself will not begin until 2008 and, while the general concept used in the bid book is unlikely to change drastically, architects will be invited to tender for the final design brief.
Completion dates have been staggered, with the Aquatics Centre due to be finished by 2009, the Velopark by 2010 and the main stadium by 2011 in time for test events in the run-up to the Games.
The award of the Games to London has already sparked a frenzy of interest from potential sponsors and suppliers, and the companies who backed the bid will not necessarily stay involved as their contracts have ended.
On the personnel front, about 50 London 2012 staff will remain for the transitional period from bid team to LOCOG, but they will ultimately have to reapply for their jobs.
LOCOG and the ODA will come together under one roof in offices at Canary Wharf.
The hunt for volunteers to help at the Games is going well, with 17,000 of the required 70,000 total recruited within a week of winning the vote in Singapore.
And the battle to produce British 2012 medallists begins now, with sports stars preparing to visit schools and Olympic themes set to feature heavily in the national curriculum.

Not much to say yet... new highs 241, new lows 4. Doesnt look like a market making a major top to me. That being said today could have strength very early , then decline ahead of tomorrows all important jobs data. Going to rest an see you in 3 hours or so.....
Interesting day, really last couple of days. Rebound to new highs off of the Dubai low. But every time it gets to a marginal new high it struggles mightily. Just doesnt seem ready to go screaming up yet ,does it? should be an important high today or tomorrow! And to add to the fun, tomorrow is jobs data day!
Boy, she's sure winding up isnt she? (5 min chart)
Too lazy to post all the charts, but cycles indicate this 13 min bar is a peak! Hourly cycles are neg. for another 1 and one half to 3 hours or so. At least ,i think so.
Here we go?
We would have to spend some time above the 1110.75 level to have a ny chance of a positive crossing of the 5 min averages to give a short term positve bias
Still short one from 1109.00, will add another at 1112.00. but its getting late in the day and im nervous about 2:30-3:00 so i wont be in it too long.
I guess i'll bail out at brekeven or so . Its getting too close to a n expected mini low (13.min and 5 min) around 2:30.... sigh...
