personal name "Cruitin," which means "hunchbacked." As this name is descriptive in origin, it is considered to be a nickname surname. Like the majority of early Irish hereditary surnames, nickname surnames were formed by adding either the prefix "Mc," meaning "son of," or "O," meaning "grandson of," to the root of the name.
Curtin Early Origins

They held a family seat as Chiefs of the Clann Cruitin. Their territories were in the barony of Corcomroe, County Clare, where they and the MacBrodys were hereditary ollaves (master-poets) and as such sat next to the king at the table and was privileged, as none else but the queen was, to wear six different colors in his clothes.

Sunset Beach, Hawaii
Completed on November 8th, 2001
Surf in the eight to twelve foot range with occasional fifteen foot sets(twenty-five foot faces)
$20,000.00 Association of Surfing Professionals
World Qualifying Series Event
Sponsors- Xcel Wetsuits~Hawaii Tourism Authority~Counter Culture
Sunset Beach, Hawaii-
The 18th Annual Xcel Pro was completed in maximum size surf at Sunset Beach today as many of the top local surfers were upset early on. Big shifty peaks breaking from three different spots had competitors searching for waves between close out sets.
Trying times for the minimum requirement of three waves had surfers Sunny Garcia, Pancho Sullivan, Kaipo Jaquias and Michael Ho, all former Xcel champions, going down in the round of thirty two. Advancing out of the fourth round of competition and looking like favorites were AustraliansMatt Thompson and Paul Paterson who from the onslaught of round two (and through six rounds) got first and second respectively through the semifinals.
The fourty minute final featured the two Australians, California's Gavin Beschen and Kauai's Bruce Irons. Paul Paterson started out the heat with a huge set wave from outside SunsetPoint and powered all the way through the inside section for a 9.1 point scoring ride. Bruce Irons used a strategy of getting a high wave count and Matt Thompson, the other Australian in the final waited for set waves but never really got a rhythmgoing. Gavin Beschen's plan of attack was to pick off the best waves on the middle peak and it paid off with a stand out tube ride on a ten foot wave which scored an average 9.8 on the judges card and became this years Xcel Pro champion.
"It's been a long day and I figured I'd wait for the better waves, toward's the end of the heat, I got lucky as the big sets stopped," exclaimed a victorious Beschen, not usually known for his Sunset Beach prowess, "this is a big win for me as I move into the winter season".
Xcel Pro Results
1st, Gavin Beschen, San Clemente, Ca., $4000.00
2nd, Paul Paterson, NSW, Australia, $2000.00
3rd, Bruce Irons, Hanalei, Kauai, $1500.00

Maybe not everyone likes New Years Eve, or the stereotyped version; getting drunk out of your mind is not everybody's idea of a good time. Or maybe you just enjoy sitting at home, in your pajamas, eating pizza and watching Korean dramas... No? Just me? Okay then.
Anyway... pretty much everyone likes New Years DAY though. WHY?
Everyone likes the "clean slate." Of course, not everyone will forget those embarrassing things you did last year. Or the terrifying things, or the stupid things, and so on and so forth. But we all feel... renewed on January 1st. Because we can make THIS YEAR better than last year.
My resolutions for 2012:
- Lose weight! I'm not setting a goal because with my thyroid disorder it's difficult for me to lose pounds, but the point is I want to lose some of it. Any of it.
- More than lose weight, make healthy choices. Whether they are physical (walk instead of taking the shuttle from up to campus, eat a banana instead of a pop tart for breakfast) or mental (call a sister instead of thinking about him) I want my choices to make me feel good.
- Less drama. Don't make drama, don't encourage drama, don't get in the middle of drama!
- Be positive!

Admin Account Missing
I just upgraded to version 2.5 and have one serious problem; my admin account is no longer an admin account.
First a little background information:
When I first installed wordpress a few years ago I added a new account and gave it full admin privledges and then removed the default admin account. This has worked OK for a few years. Now, however, when I did the 2.5 upgrade I couldn't login at first (due to the fact I was using the OpenID authentication plugin) however, I had wordpress send me a new password and I logged in OK.
However, now that I am logged in I can't really manage the blog. My admin rights don't seem to exist anymore. What do I need to do (via mySQL changes most likely) to give my account it's admin privledges back?
All of my plugins are disabled at the moment so my site is totally open to ridiculous spam (which started to come in instantly.
Please help!

No-frills gym opens on Boucher Road with 15-year lease
No-frills fitness company PureGym is opening a new gym in south Belfast.
The Boucher Road premises at Lesley Retail Park is PureGym's third in Belfast. Ryan McKenna of commercial property agents, McKibbin Commercial, negotiated the deal on behalf of the landlord.
It is replacing the old FitSpace gym, which used to trade at the 14,500 sq ft site. A spokesman for McKibbin said PureGym had signed a 15-year lease, "which shows confidence in their brand and the Belfast market".
The site is currently being fitted out.
PureGym already has premises in St Anne's Square and Adelaide Street in the city.
PureGym property director, Angela Crawshaw, said: "We're delighted to be expanding in Northern Ireland, with this gym taking our total number of sites in Northern Ireland to six.
"The PureGym Belfast Boucher Road will provide local residents with a fully-equipped gym that offers not only exceptional value for money at an affordable price, but membership without a contract that ties you in for a long period of time.
"We are also continually looking for new opportunities to bring affordable fitness to Northern Ireland and expect more PureGym sites to follow soon."
There are three other PureGyms throughout Northern Ireland, in Newtownabbey, Londonderry and Bangor.
PureGym and The Gym Group abandoned merger talks last year. The two wanted to create a new low-cost player, but ditched the deal because of the length of inquiry required by the Competition Commission.

text: I am in a quandary( a state of uncertainty or indecision) on whether or not I should buy my Mac now or wait a little while longer. As my trip to Boston is fast approaching and I have to wait in an airport for 3 hours it would be nice for me to have a nice Mac that I could take with me anywhere in the world. Upon thinking about this I decided to go to the bank and apply for a loan. The only problem is it will take 5 business days for them to do a credit check. Who does a credit check? Seriously, don't they want you to mess up and not pay them back right away? But I think that I will pass the credit check and move onto the next stage were I get my money, the only problem is I don't think I will get the money in time. I leave for Boston next Monday and I am only on day 3 of credit check. It will take the Mac 3-4 days to get to my house. I don't think it is going to work out. So I decided to do what any great son would do and I asked my parents for the money. You know those situations where it makes sense to you but others just don't understand, well that is the problem that faces me. It makes perfectly good sense for my parents to give me $1500 and let me buy my laptop before I go. But they do not see it like that. They want me to have the money, and they do make a good point about me owing them money for my truck and schooling. If only money grew on trees I would have a Mac right now, but it does not and I don't have one yet, maybe someday I will be cool.

Did Google Catch You Out?
In case you didn't notice it, yesterday was April 1, the notorious day of Fools and Fun. Well, unless you are Anne Coulter, who believes that the pranks idea should be sent back to France, where it possibly originated, along with the guillotine and metric system, both of which are continually used in the United States and, so she seems to be saying, have no place there whatsoever. Better to kill people with a syringe (or three) full of pain-inducing chemicals and have them writhe against the bondage holding them down in those last moments.
Other people seem to have been caught out by the old and traditional pranks played by various people and, as has been happening for several years, institutions. The big one for many appears to have been the Google prank: a Send button which distributes your mail to everyone in your mailing list regardless of what you wish.
Image Source: Mike Licht – Creative Commons
For those of you who decided to make racist comments – only the police are allowed to do that on official mailing systems – or send top-secret company business through your private server – don't you read the news? Hillary Clinton's mail server? Wake up, people! – or comment against your boss in the company, well, you've no reason to complain when your job goes down the drain. It's not Google's fault that you got caught out, even if they did supply the means, it's your own stupidity.
Still, that new position you're looking for? Bound to be better than the one you had, otherwise why would you have been doing things on company time or complaining about your work conditions if it was all so good?

- Mar 17, 2011Sorry to be late reporting a few species of interest:
On 6 March I stopped at Detert Reservoir to get a better look at what appeared to be a small loon near the road, but somehow it vanished! On the other side of the road (smaller section of lake) I was suprised to see a male RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, which was the only merganser on the lake, and presumably the same individual present on 31 January. I also saw two GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE accompanying the SNOW GOOSE in a field along Butts Canyon Road 2 miles south of Middletown. I have been seeing the three geese nearly daily, up until yesterday (too foggy to see them this morning).
At Hidden Valley Lake I was surprised to see a PILEATED WOODPECKER in foothill woodland (Blue Oaks and Gray Pines) along Yankee Valley Road on 5 March and again on 12 March. The habitat seems unusual for the species.

Bond Commission Invests In Bear Exhibit
() Comments | Commenting has expired
Posted to: Town News, Bridgeport, State Budget, State Capitol
The state Bond Commission approved nearly $249 million in borrowing Friday both in general obligation bonds and revenue bonds for dozens of projects including $2.5 million for a new Andean bear exhibit at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport.
Asked about the state's investment in the exhibit for the endangered species, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the state is assisting a zoo that "has proven itself an attractive draw in one of our distressed municipalities." He said the state wants to work with the zoo to improve it and its ability to draw visitors to the state.
The zoo gets about 250,000 visitors per year and is home to more than 305 animals and 110 different species. Gregg Dancho, the zoo director was unable to be reached for comment on the new exhibit, but the Connecticut Post reported earlier this week that the exhibit is expected to be completed in 2015.
The zoo was just one of the cultural investments the state Bond Commission targeted for funding Friday.
There also was $4 million in funding that went to the New Britain Museum of American Art to assist with the construction of a 12,000-square-foot addition, $2 million for alterations and renovations to the Shubert Theater in New Haven, and $2 million for renovations and energy efficiency upgrades to the Bushnell Center of Performing Arts in Hartford.
The state Bond Commission also approved $424,227 for the City of New Haven to finance street calming measures to improve pedestrian safety on Whalley Avenue.
Malloy touted the $7.3 million being made in three new Advanced Manufacturing Centers at community colleges across Connecticut. The money will be used to improve facilities and equipment at Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, Naugatuck Valley Community College in Waterbury, and Quinebaug Valley Community College in Danielson.
There was also a $1.7 million loan made to assist Wallingford-based Z-Medica, which makes and distributes sterile traumatic wound products that rapidly stop high volume blood loss. It currently has 46 employees and expects to add 25 more over the next five years with the additional assistance from the state.
"Supporting the expansion and growth of the state's small businesses is part of our strategy to create jobs. This is a company that is manufacturing cutting-edge technologies and products that are saving lives," Malloy said.
Larry Hicks, president and CEO of Z-Medica, said the money will help the company's vision come into immediate focus.
"We're happy to be here. Connecticut is home to some of the world's best life-sciences' products," Hicks said. "The reception and spirit in which we've had this discussion with the state of Connecticut has been incredible."
The news of these investments come the same week as Connecticut was visited by governor's from Texas and South Dakota, who were looking to poach Connecticut companies.
Malloy said the gubernatorial visits were not unusual.
"I compete for jobs every single day," Malloy said. "I built an economy in Connecticut that's supportive of job growth. We can celebrate, as I stand here today, the creation of 36,700 private sector jobs since I became governor."
All 41 items on the Bond Commission agenda passed unanimously.

The Bond Commission also approved $30 million to buy a parking garage from the City of Hartford - a structure that was valued at $9 million.
Investing in bears? Please.
Repeat after me: "I've created 36,700 jobs. I've created 36,700 jobs…" Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is higher than the national average and has only come as people participating in the work force have dropped out. "I've created 36,700 new jobs."

Oh, Noteworthy. It is so, so incredibly easy….
Here's a recent press release from one of your "fiscally conservative" Republican state senators.. the same one who introduced a bill this year to repeal all the tax increases from last year…. $1.6 billion… without ever saying (or being asked by right-wing radio hosts) where he'd cut an equal amount of state spending.
But that's how you 'fiscally conservative' Republicans roll, right?? All talk, no walk.
Anyway, enjoy!!
Sen. Art Linares, Rep. Tom Vicino Welcome $$ for New Skating Rink in Clinton
April 19, 2013
Sen. Art Linares and Rep. Tom Vicino today welcomed the news that the town of Clinton will receive a $200,000 state grant to begin the planning process for a new skating rink in town. The funding will go toward environmental site characterization and geotechnical engineering assistance to determine the remediation and feasibility of converting a nine-acre portion of the former town landfill into a two-rink skating facility.
"This grant represents a big step forward for the town," Sen. Linares said. "The goal is to make this section of town a gathering place for families and for people of all ages. We are now closer to that goal."
"Converting the former landfill and bringing it back to productive use will strengthen our local economy and improve our quality of life," Rep. Vicino said. "As Selectman last year and as Chairman of the Economic Development Commission in Clinton, I am very pleased to see this funding approved. The town will benefit from the additional shopping, restaurant business and $94,000 in annual property taxes from the rink."
Sen Linares and Rep. Vicino said, "We thank Gov. Dannel P. Malloy for approving this state assistance and for recognizing the lasting positive impact it will have on Clinton."
"1st Selectman Willie Fritz was instrumental in getting this project identified and for moving it forward," said Tom Vicino.
Sen. Linares may be reached at 800 842-1421 and Rep. Vicino may be reached at 800 842-1423.

Hard to believe that after spending tens of millions on "Still Revolutionary" that we still need bears to draw people in. Hey, if a few bears bring in a few people, maybe a lot of bears would bring in a lot of people. We should give out huge state grants to the first 5 zoos that can bring 200 bears to the state within the next 10yrs. That ought to do it!

One of the most rewarding experiences for the enthusiast and the professional horseman is watching their children or grandchildren perform on horseback. Seeing the young generation entered in equitation events, where competition is mostly for fun, sparks enthusiasm among everyone involved. In addition, the training and discipline that goes into preparing for an event promotes good horsemanship, as well as teaches the right things to young people. The horse experience is a healthy environment, where there's always some work to be done, along with a reward at the end of the day.
Introducing children and young adults to horses for the first time will likely be a memorable experience for all concerned. Learning about the horses' temperament and some of the animals' characteristics from a knowledgeable horse person will certainly spark some new interest. The ideal beginner classroom could involve learning about tack and feeding, as well as mixing in some bareback time to keep the children coming back When young people see others doing something they have an interest in, it can have a positive affect, as we all know.
Having goals will give the training a purpose. This is true for the children who are learning about horses, as well as for the young adults that are helping with the classrooms. Holding a neighborhood Gymkhana is a great way to mark everyone's progress, and have a barrel full of fun at the same time. And for some reason, community minded people seem to step up where the youth are concerned.
Donating a riding ring for a night under the lights, or selling raffle tickets to fund a hot dog roast after the event are the kind of things that people enjoy doing for a good cause. The spirit of the community draws parents and their kids to the events, and the competitions keep the kids involved. Our youth are the next generation of horse people, and the tradition of a town's horse experience can be kept intact through youth events and adventures.
Outings are another type of activity where parents and their children can share the horse experience. Trail rides that lead through stands of trees or past a wide creek, might bring some kids the excitement of these sights and smells for the first time. Even some adults have confessed they look forward to a hearty campfire and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.
There aren't many young people who wouldn't loose a little sleep in anticipation of a trail ride that included a great time, followed by a cook out with friends, and sleeping under the stars. And after all, that's what being a kid is all about. And making things like this possible for our kids and their friends is what being a parent is all about. Bring along a pack horse to carry the feed and provisions, and we've got the ideal outdoor horse adventure for kids.
Not everyone who has made a name of some kind, or has a notable reputation, was born into the horse environment. Many a top competitor and knowledgeable trainer were exposed to the horse experience through some means. And this exposure started them on a path that lead to the kind of involvement and reward that one finds through a love of horses and the horse experience.

I was scared to try this bar because of the color and the name, and even attempted to pawn it off on my son. Ultimately, I owned up and took it back, not wanting him to waste it. Much to my surprise, it was DELICIOUS, probably the best-tasting food bar I've ever tried.

Heroes and Villains
Buck Dharma
After spending nearly two decades on death row for a crime of which he was wrongly convicted, Damien Echols, the accused ringleader of the notorious "West Memphis 3," has been freed from death row.
Many readers will be familiar with the basic facts of the case. On May 5, 1993, three Cub Scouts went missing. The bodies of Michael Moore, Christopher Byers and Stevie Branch were found murdered and mutilated in a ditch. Investigators believed the crime to be the work of a satanic cult, and a juvenile case officer provided the name of then-18-year-old Damien Echols, whose trouble with authorities culminated in a stint in a psychiatric hospital.
Authorities questioned an acquaintance of Echols' — Jessie Misskelley, a mentally handicapped teenager with an IQ of just 72. During the 12 hours of investigation, Misskelley implicated himself, Echols and Jason Baldwin. Although Misskelley recanted his confession and refused to testify against Echols and Baldwin, a juror's notes revealed the jury foreman added Misskelley's "confession" to deliberations. All three were convicted, with Misskelley and Baldwin condemned to life in prison and Echols to death row.
The West Memphis 3 were recently freed through a rare legal device called an Alford Plea. The upshot is that, although Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley could continue to maintain their innocence, they were required to plead guilty. And, although prosecutor Scott Ellington stated he believes the men to be guilty, the three were required to sign a waiver promising not to sue the state.
For a death row inmate, Damien Echols was comparatively lucky (although I'm reluctant to apply that word to someone who lost years of his life due to a flawed law enforcement system). Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were the subject of the HBO documentary "Paradise Lost," showcasing the flaws in their cases and trials. Since it aired, DNA evidence and new witnesses have "not only supported the innocence of all three men, but have pointed to other people who were not investigated when the murders occurred. More important, the crucial theory of the case was, in large part, debunked by leading medical experts. The mutilation of the bodies of the boys — believed by investigators to be caused by knives as part of a ritual — was more likely to be the result of animal predation that occurred after the children were killed."
Furthermore, despite an unsurprising suicide attempt via overdose, Echols was able to maintain a modicum of sanity. As he reported during a televised interview with Piers Morgan, "The only thing you can do to maintain your sanity is not think about the case and not think about what's happening to you. You have to create your own world in there or you'll go insane from that stuff."
Still, states practicing the death penalty are hardly reluctant to apply the ultimate punishment to the mentally ill, despite the fact that Ford v. Wainwright ruled such punishments to be unconstitutional. Moreover, according to Amnesty International, "The National Association of Mental Health has estimated that five to ten percent of those on death row have serious mental illness." To paraphrase Echols, despite the media's attempt to paint those on death row as evil Hannibal Lecter-type geniuses, the capital punishment ranks are packed with the mentally handicapped, schizophrenics and lost souls.
In 2009, the United States executed 52 inmates. America ranked fifth out of countries carrying out the death penalty, preceded by China, which executed thousands, Iran at 388, Iraq at 120 and Saudi Arabia at 69. None of these are countries whose company we want to keep in terms of human rights. While it is commendable that our justice system finally found a means through which to release the West Memphis 3, many other innocents (and even guilty) incarcerated men and women face an end that much of the rest of the civilized world has already dismissed as barbaric.
As a retired correctional officer on the county level I have held many men an women prisoner, and shipped some of those off to prison. Of the multitude of accused I have met in twenty years in jail I have met but a handful who were truly evil people. Most of those are facing life in prison, some having more than one life term.
I also came to know, through interaction with many people who spent time in prison, just how bad prison is as an experience. Formerly a supporter of the death penalty, I have changed my mind. Life without possibility of parole is a much harsher penalty than one that can be terminated by death. Additionally, in the event of an error in the system a dead person cannot be resurrected.
Due to my experience dealing with the inmate population I do not refer to anyone as innocent. Perhaps I am jaded, but innocence seems to be a rare quality in humans. Still, some are not guilty as charged, and so do not warrant incarceration. I am pleased that some who are not guilty are now free.
Thanks for the insightful comment, Michael.

With its amendments to the Security Intelligence Act, the federal government has handed Canada's security services "a broad mandate and powers" of surveillance without sufficient legal safeguards, says a United Nations Human Rights Committee report released Thursday.
It is urging Canada to revise the controversial anti-terrorism bill, Bill C-51, to ensure it complies with the UN human rights covenant to which Canada is a signatory.
The committee says a lack of independent judicial involvement in the implementation of Canada's revised security law is edging the country towards human rights violations.
While accepting Canada's need to adopt measures to combat terrorism, the UN report also expresses "concern" that the federal government has increased information-sharing among federal agencies without safeguards to ensure that the information is accurate.

What is cultural sensitivity?
Why is it important to model cultural sensitivity in the workplace even though you may have differing opinions or beliefs?
Lesson Rationale: Cultural sensitivity in the workplace is not only a good idea, it is mandatory. Employees will come into contact with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds in the course of their jobs. Cultural sensitivity is needed to have successful business interactions, and even one isolated instance of cultural insensitivity can damage the organization. Who wants to work for or do business with an organization that is culturally insensitive or disrespectful? Unfortunately, students may see people behaving in a culturally insensitive manner in other settings without any negative consequences. Or they may see other people using disrespectful humor to try to win friends with people in their own group. However, students need to realize that employers cannot tolerate this behavior at any time.
All employees need to know how to interact with people from other cultures in a sensitive and respectful way. Employees also need to know how a seemingly innocuous statement may really be very insensitive. Further, the employee with strong cultural sensitivity will know the appropriate ways to learn about another person's culture.
This lesson utilizes a variety of activities to teach students about cultural sensitivity in the workplace. Discussion questions, a quote and anecdotes, and a video vignette can be used to introduce and explore the topic. In a cultural sensitivity exercise, students can role-play fictional cultures to experience cross-cultural interactions and how others perceive their cultural customs. Additional role-play exercises shed light on how certain statements are culturally insensitive, and a self-assessment can be used for students to get a feel for their personal level of cultural sensitivity. Through all of these activities, students can learn the importance of cultural sensitivity in the workplace, and how to interact in a culturally sensitive manner in a variety of workplace situations. In this way, students can be sure to be the kind of employee who will be trusted by their employers and given important assignments. After all, what boss would send a potentially insensitive person to meet with an important customer?

Anecdote 1 beliefs when you are being interviewed for a job.
"Email has become a method of exchanging jokes and humor in the workplace. As an employer, I have a rule. Email is not the forum for jokes and humor in the workplace. I take this seriously because of an incident that happened two years ago. An employee of mine believed he was the master of email jokes to his friends and he used much of his time surfing the internet to send inappropriate humor, specifically dealing with race, religion, gender, and country. One day he made a big mistake. He found several jokes about a group of people from another country. Many of these "jokes" related to the way this group speaks English, their work ethic, their religious beliefs, and their way of life. He decided to send it via email to a friend who worked next to him. As he selected his friend's email address, he inadvertently selected our global email address. Every employee in my company received that email. Several of my employees are from this country. Needless to say, the individual no longer works for me. Remember, the workplace is not the forum to discuss one's beliefs or opinions that may offend another's culture."
- Executive
Anecdote 1 – Student Questions beliefs when you are being interviewed for a job.
1. What did the employee do that caused him to lose his job? Why were these actions wrong?
2. What could be the potential consequences of this email to different groups within the organization, and to the organization as a whole?
3. If you were the executive, what policies would you put in place to promote cultural sensitivity?
Anecdote 2 beliefs when you are being interviewed for a job.
"Every student, regardless of grade level or career interests, must become heavily involved with a certain activity if he/she wants to be a well-rounded and culturally sensitive person. This activity will help you study harder after school, perform better on your tests, help you make more friends, strengthen your language skills and most importantly, help you connect and relate to thousands of different people. What is this mysterious activity, you ask? TRAVEL! I'm not prescribing world travel, but if you can do it, great. I am prescribing traveling ANYWHERE you can. Get out of your hometown! Get out of your home state! If you live in Chicago, drive or take a bus to Indianapolis or Minneapolis. Spend the day seeing how folks there live and work and play. Ideally, if you can save some money each year, you will find that traveling to Maine, Texas, Oregon or Mississippi will introduce you to cultures and customs that are quite different from your own—and that is the point of a cultural sensitivity lesson. You become well-rounded in your knowledge of people and the world and in your ability to coexist with others. So make a resolution for next year; save a few dollars, get a friend involved (it's always best to travel with a companion) and travel!"
- Career Counselor
Anecdote 2 – Student Questions beliefs when you are being interviewed for a job.
1. Imagine that you are going on a trip next year. What could you do to make the trip increase your cultural sensitivity?
2. Think of someone whom you believe is extremely culturally sensitive. How do you think he or she gained that sensitivity? Was travel involved?
Culture Defined beliefs when you are being interviewed for a job.
Culture can be defined as any rules, traditions, practices, and beliefs in which a group of people believe. For instance, if I attended the University of Notre Dame, I belong to a culture of alumni who experienced the rules, practices, traditions, and beliefs of the University of Notre Dame. Only those people who went to Notre Dame can understand the experiences that I gained by attending Notre Dame. This is culture. You will work with many different people in your lifetime. All of these people belong to differing cultures. It is imperative that you respect others' cultures in the workplace. If you cannot do this, more than likely you will not stay employed for very long.

Step 1:Review the video vignette before introducing the video to your class.
Step 2:Show the video and discuss with your class the message provided in the video.
Step 3: Transition to Exercise 4: Cultural Sensitivity Exercise.
RPC – Student Questions Sensitivity in the Workplace"
1. Choose one of the situations described in the vignette. What is another culturally sensitive way of asking about that subject?
2. Think of another topic that involves cultural sensitivity that was not shown in the vignette. What would be a culturally sensitive way of approaching that topic?
Teacher Directions:
Before you begin this exercise, familiarize yourself with the Cultural Sensitivity Exercise. This exercise should take 30 minutes to complete.
Rationale: Teach students that they will encounter many people in the work place from different cultures, races, religions, and genders. Students should learn to be tolerant and sensitive to all people in the workplace because it contributes to their own richness and understanding of the world they live in.
Step 1: Arrange the students into 4 groups. Choose one student to be a "scribe" or someone who will write down and record some observations of the group activity.
Step 2: Assign each group one of the following four descriptions. Have them participate in their assigned role during the "holiday party."
Step 3: Process the party with the scribe's notes and observations.
Step 4: Proceed to Exercise 5: Cultural Sensitivity Role-Playing.
Orange Group
These students have a heritage that stems from the far away nation called "Orangia," and they have ancestors who traveled many miles to settle in the U.S. Orangia has many unique customs, including one in which their ancestors spoke English but did not use any nouns in their language. Instead of nouns, they would use a "coughing sound" to refer to the person, place, or thing. For example, instead of saying "Billy went to the store yesterday," they would say, "{COUGH} went to the {COUGH} yesterday." Their country is poor and they do not have many tangible items because most of the residents are very poor. Since most people didn't have objects, there was no need to name the items. Instead, they used the coughing sound to fill in the blank. The same holds true with names of people. They were so close and so friendly with each other, there was no need to give each other names. They used signs of affection, such as hugs to greet each other. Since they were always together, they never had a need to refer to someone by name; they just walked around their small town to find others. The country and one town was so small, they had no need to refer to places with words. The coughing sound was more than enough.
Green Group Sensitivity in the Workplace"
These students hail from the tiny country called "Greenzil," which is located in the South Pacific. One of their most unique customs originates from the fact that Greenzil is so warm and tropical, they never need to wear shoes. If they are not barefoot, they wear socks on their feet merely for protection, specifically on hot summer sand. Once in their history, some explorers traded shoes with their ancestors on the tiny island, but after the explorers left, the Greenzilians decided that the shoes made "Clappers." Whenever a Greenzilian is happy to meet someone new, he or she will use a pair of shoes to make a loud, celebratory noise by "Clapping" the soles of the shoes together. This is a very loud and cheerful way of letting everyone around you know that you are meeting someone new. This custom came about when one of the earlier explorers got sand in his shoes from jumping off his boat onto the shore of Greenzilia. He took off his shoes and clapped the soles together to get the sand out. When the explorers gave the shoes to the Greenzilians as a gift, they immediately clapped their shoes together to acknowledge the gesture of their visitors. It became a custom for the Greenzilians as a reminder of the happy meeting they had with those explorers.
Purple Group Sensitivity in the Workplace"
These students come from a very large country in the Northern Hemisphere. Their ancestors and relatives have emigrated to the U.S. from a country called "Purpleland." Purpleland is very cold, with a lot of land but very few people. The most interesting custom of the Purplelanders is that they live without gloves for their hands. Even though it is very cold, they never wear gloves because they have a custom which involves a lot of hand shaking and hand holding. If gloves are worn, inside or outside, it is a sign of having something to hide or not wanting anyone to be near him or her. Instead of wearing gloves, they hold each others' hands to keep warm. The Purplelanders are very friendly and nice. They like to hold the hands of their closest friends and relatives, but they also like to hold the hands of strangers as it is their way of showing openness, respect and an interest in getting to know others.
Pink Group Sensitivity in the Workplace"
This group of students originates from a large city called "Pinkyopolis." Pinkyopolis is in a small, crowded country. Pinkyopolis itself is rather populated; the U.S. city that would most closely resemble Pinkyopolis is New York City. Pinkyopolis residents are sort of shy and reserved. Their unique custom stems from an old-world tradition. 200 years ago, Pinkyopolis became so overcrowded with people that the only way they could all comfortably fit in a room of a house or a restaurant or a school and still be comfortable was if they stood back to back. Just imagine a restaurant with 20,000 people in it, and all of the Pinkyopolins standing face to face. It just doesn't make sense. It would be rude to eat while staring at the face of another person. If they spoke while eating, it would get messy if someone was only inches from your face. So standing back to back was the best way of dealing with the over crowding problem. Whenever someone from Pinkyopolis is waiting for a bus, or standing in the checkout line at a store or even at a cocktail party, out of respect for space, they stand back to back with their friends, acquaintances, and guests.
"The Holiday Party" Sensitivity in the Workplace"
Now that the students are familiar with their "places of origin" and their heritage/traditions, let them know that they have all been invited to a party that their company is hosting for the celebration of a major holiday. There will be food, fun, dancing, and conversation. Everyone is invited. For many of the people at the party, they will be meeting each other for the first time and it will be their initial introduction to others from the places previously described.
The students' objective: to be themselves and to use/demonstrate their main custom as much as possible. No matter what happens, students should not abandon their place of origin's main custom as described above. It is their way of life and they must not give it up. The second half of the students' mission is to find out all they can about the "other" customs. Ask questions of the people from the 3 groups that are "different" than theirs. Most importantly, watch how the students interact. Don't give them any instructions, just let them mingle. The teacher and the "scribe" should be walking around and writing down observations.
Note the following: Sensitivity in the Workplace"
How did the students from the different groups initially interact?
Was it an awkward process or a relatively smooth process?
Which "customs" seemed to get along or mingle easier than others?
Which "customs" seemed to have a lot of friction between them?
How did the students facilitate the process of "getting along"?
Did students make an attempt to learn about the different customs?
Did students make an attempt to coexist without trying to change the other customs?
Make sure that as much writing or note taking is done as possible, as this will be the cornerstone of the class's discussions and processing.
Processing the Cultural Sensitivity Activity Sensitivity in the Workplace"
Ask the students the questions from above and see how they respond. When each group has had an opportunity to answer the questions, the teacher and the scribe will then share their observations as "outsiders" to the party. Discuss any similarities or differences in the group observations when compared to those of the teacher and the scribe.
Next, remind the students that the overall moral of this activity is to accept the "different cultures, the various customs, and the unique heritage of each person." The greatest amount of respect is shown to another person when we make an effort to learn about his/her heritage. Forcing our own heritage upon someone is not the goal of co-existence; rather listening, learning, and accepting is the goal.
Teacher Directions:
Please review the role-plays before introducing the scenarios to the students. Each role-play scenario has a guided question. Review these questions and use them as guiding questions during this exercise.
Step 1: Select 5 groups of 2 to 3 students for each of the 5 scenarios. Allow several minutes for students to develop their own take on each role-play.
Step 2: Have each group act out the role-play in class. Have students answer the questions related to each role-play. Use the following questions as guiding questions for this exercise.
Step 3:Proceed to Exercise 6: "Cultural Sensitivity Self-Assessment."
Teacher Directions:
Please review the self-assessment before introducing the subject. This exercise should take 15 minutes to complete.
Step 1: Make copies of the self-assessment for each student.
Step 2: Have students take the self-assessment and have students process their individual scores.
Step 3: Discuss the self-assessment questions with your class once the questions have been scored.
Step 4: Transition to Exercise 7: Wrap Up: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Cultural Sensitivity in the Workplace."
1. You know which kinds of humor are appropriate in the workplace and which are not.
Not at all Just a little Very close Right on!1 2 3 4
2. You can name the different aspects that are part of a person's culture.
Not at all Just a little Very close Right on!1 2 3 4
Tabulate the Score to the Cultural Sensitivity Self-Assessment
Final Thoughts: in the Workplace"
How does one . . .
1. Learn about a person's observation of religious holidays? Not by asking, "What is your religion?" Rather, "Which holiday has your family traditionally observed during the holiday season? Mine have always been Kwanzaa and Christmas."
2. Learn about someone's ethnicity? Not by asking, "Where do you come from?" Rather, "My family's heritage originates from Ireland. Would you like to share with me where your family originates?"
3. Learn about someone's family? Not by asking, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" Rather, "Tell me about your siblings."
4. Learn about languages they speak? Not by asking, "How long have you been speaking English?" Rather, "How many languages do you speak in addition to English?"
It is important to remember that being culturally sensitive means making an attempt to learn about a person's unique cultural norms and traditions. It means never assuming something about him/her. It means never imposing your cultural norms onto another person. It means always respecting his/her cultural norms at all times. Believe it or not, a person's culture includes how he and his father prepare for and watch the Super Bowl each year. So, be respectful and be open to learning!
Teacher Directions:
Note: The situational judgment tests (SJTs) are good indicators to assess student understanding of the lesson. SJTs should be treated like a graded test because, ultimately, the goal of the program is to see student improvement as it relates to work readiness.
Step 1: Provide copies of the three SJTsto your students.
Step 2: Collect and grade the questions to evaluate student progress.
Answers to SJTs

The Sound of Belgium Trailer (2012)
"A chronicle of unique popular music, The Sound of Belgium goes in search of the spirit of a nation and the people that danced to it." 17 November 2012 Factual, Music 85 mins
In the late 1980s, the Belgian electronic New Beat music movement conquered dance floors worldwide, and all of a sudden Belgium was on the map. This eclectic predecessor of house music appeared to materialize out of nothing, but according to the makers of The Sound of Belgium, it was the product of a historical search for identity that apparently went back to the Battle of Waterloo and the aftermath of the First World War.

Prairie Plant Conservation Program Partners
Whidbey-Camano Land Trust
The Whidbey-Camano Land Trust (WCLT) has worked to protect and preserve natural lands for more than 25 years. Through providing conservation easements, acquiring donations, and purchasing natural lands WCLT has restored a variety of natural spaces including forests, farmlands, prairies, wetlands. WCLT also provides conservation training to land owners and helps owners of rare ecosystems to get tax benefits for maintaining their private ecosystems.
On Whidbey Island, WCLT manages prairie habitats and requests a variety of unique and diverse island prairie species from plant nurseries managed by SPP and partners. Demand for these rare plants means that inmate crews gain more diverse ecological knowledge of Washington's prairies and cultivation techniques.
Friends of Puget Prairies
The Friends of Puget Prairies is an informal organization devoted to conserving and restoring Washington's native prairie ecosystems. The group created the original model for volunteers and community members to cultivate prairie plants for restoration. Members of the organization are instrumental in the collection of wild sourced seed for the restoration of Salish lowland prairies. Additionally, Friends of Puget Prairies developed the first protocols for the cultivation of native prairie species in the south Salish Sea. Friends of Puget Prairies have provided SPP and our partners an excellent foundation to build upon to continue to improve and protect the prairies of the Slaish Sea region.
Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship
The Pacific Rim Institute (PRI) is a non-profit committed to restoring natural areas and providing environmental outreach and education. Located on Whidbey Island, PRI was established as a non-profit in 2010, but traces its roots back to 1995 when it was created as a field campus for a network of Christian colleges and universities in the Pacific Northwest. PRI's campus includes native prairie. As an SPP partner, PRI manages the restoration and re-introduction of golden paintbrush (Castilleja levisecta) on island environments in north Puget Sound and the re-introduction of C. levisecta on extirpated sites in the south Puget Sound lowlands. PRI also funds all of SPP's efforts to research the cultivation of C. levisecta, a Washington state listed endangered species.

A couple guys on my timeline have been raving about the Temple Run app for some time now so I decided to download it a few weeks ago and I have to admit I got hooked on it for a few days. I believe the point of the game is to run through a temple (constantly) without getting jumped by the scary birds, scorched by the fire or fall in the cracks all why trying to gather coins for points.
I felt this game was a crazy metaphor or at least an interesting parallel to most of our lives. Every time I chased the coins I found myself dying a lot faster but when I concentrated on the journey and the path of the game, I found myself lasting a lot longer. Don't get me wrong I am sure there are some people who can accurately achieve both but I think it is a lot harder than we think. Sacrifices have to be made and you might miss out on winning because you want to grab those coins.
I started thinking about my own life and how I've been able to navigate through life on my journey without necessarily chasing the "COINS" but by staying focus on what it was I wanted to achieve. The "Coins" represented all the distraction and everything else that kept you off your track. For some people the "coins" are the money, women (men), fame or anything else that could be considered a distraction.
Why can't we chase both? Can we successfully chase both? Should we be trying to chase both? Don't you end up getting those things anyway? Aren't those "coins" a result or a byproduct of successfully completing the journey? I believe that the "COINS" will always be there, you might not finish the game with the most amounts of coins but at least you survive the game and get the spoils of winning. Then a flash of Jay-Z lyrics ran across my brain: "I ain't tryin' to survive I'm tryin' to live it to the limit an' love it a lot …"
While playing the game I saw the "coins" as our greedy nature to want the coins over everything else and as soon as you paid too much attention to the coins and not where you were running, oops you landed in the ditch an died.

Axlerod and Gibbs Say MA Election Nothing To Do With Health Care ReformPosted by Al @ 8:41 am
Jan 25
It seems the message that progressive Democrats got from the MA election of Brown(R) to Congress was that, even more than ever, Americans really want this health care bill shoved up their rear. It starts to make one wonder who is really running the show behind the curtain. If anything, you would assume the (D) party would regroup and try to steer back to the center on domestic issues. Obama now claims it's all about the economy and jobs. No, that's what the issue was when you decided that health care and cap and trade were the only issues that would turn America's economy around. Just when you thought the health care legislation, in its current form, was dead, those progressive elements in the White House and Congress are looking at some new creative techniques to pass this socialist crap anyway.
The Washington Examiner reports Democrats have thoughts on alternative measures to pass this health care bill. Ok, remember to watch the other hand. Presidential Advisor, David Axelrod, from one side of his mouth spouts"
This president's never going to stop fighting to create jobs, to raise incomes, and to push back on the special interests' dominance in Washington and this withering partisanship that keeps us from solving problems.
However, the Examiner reports Axelrod in the same breath states that the MA election had nothing to do with the health care legislation and the people still want it, just proposed differently. In other words, we have made the process too transparent and now we can really take it deep into back rooms of Congress and use parliamentary tricks to pass it.
According to the Examiner
Democrats are weighing two possibilities: Pass a scaled-back version in smaller pieces, or try to move the current Senate health care bill through the House and then make changes to it through a parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation, which would require just 51 votes for passage.
However, if this goes through reconciliation, only portions of the bill can remain. A scaled down version will be less palatable for the Democrats, so that plan will probably not fly either. So what is the plan? According to a Fox News report, Robert Gibbs says
"Seventy percent of the voters in Massachusetts wanted to work with Democrats on health care reform, only 28 percent want to stop health care reform from happening. ..
OK, the message MA voter sent to the White House and Congress is to keep ramming this bill down their throats. Right! Well, since these progressive folks are hell-bent on being branded traitors, they should go ahead and completely ignore the will of the people and circumvent the Constitution as much as possible.
Newsmax reports the end-around attempt Pelosi and Reid will to get this beast of a bill passed.
Senate Democrats will go to the House with a two-part deal.
First, the House will pass the Senate's Obamacare bill that passed the Senate in December. The House leadership will vote on the Senate bill, and Pelosi will allow no amendments or modifications to the Senate bill…Behind closed doors Reid and Pelosi have agreed in principle that changes to the Senate bill will be made to satisfy liberal House members — but only after the Senate bill is passed and signed into law by Obama.
This deal will be secured by a pledge from Reid and the Senate's Democratic caucus that they will make "fixes" to the Senate bill after it becomes law with Obama's John Hancock…
Reid will provide to Pelosi a letter signed by 52 Democratic Senators indicating they will pass the major changes, or "fixes", the House Democrats are demanding. Again, these fixes will be approved by the Senate only after Obama signs the Senate bill into law.
Reid has also agreed to bypass Senate cloture and filibuster rules and claim that these modifications fall under "reconciliation" and don't require 60 Senate votes…
This secret plan being hatched by Pelosi and Reid requires not only a pledge by 52 Democratic Senators to vote later for the House modifications. House liberals must actually believe these Senators will live up to their pledge and pass the fixes at some future date…Still, my Senate source and others in Washington believe that the liberals in the House, grasping at straws after the stunning Massachusetts defeat, will go along with the Reid-Pelosi plan to bypass a conference bill and and will ultimately vote for the Senate version without changes.
All I can read into this is that Democrats are clueless and are on a suicide pact. Hopefully, they will keep moving this bill though. Unfortunately, for a lot of these progressives, their next major move will be packing their bags and leaving Washington-only to become lobbyists and continue to assault the citizens and the Constitution of the Unites States.
