Start finding answers.
This site is about recovery through energy medicine, self-inquiry, awareness, and awakening. Everything we use to combat our addiction sets us up for a better life.
I am a life skills recovery coach. I am also the author of Sober Identity: Tools for Reprogramming the Addictive Mind. I've been clean and sober since March 2004. I've been thriving since March of 2005. It takes time to detox and start rebuilding. It's not a weekend project.
This work isn't the drive through variety of dinner. It's the meal you plan a month in advance because you want everything to be nice for the occasion. This work takes desire, prepping, adjustment to plans, and follow through.
There are no quick fixes to addiction. It's a slow process. We don't plant a seed and then water it with a fire hose to get it to grow faster. We don't decide to get sober tomorrow with everything better by the weekend.
It's a long sucky, confrontational, scary, painful, tearful, and humbling process.
This type of learning can only be appreciated by the addict who is ready to be done living a life of lies. If we are not there yet, this work is not for us. We can't fool ourself into choosing peace-of-mind.
If we are a true addict the bargaining days are OVER.
There are no other options.
No one comes to this work willingly. We come to it on our knees, tired and ready to do the work that needs done.
About the Blog ~
As a general rule, I will post once per week, usually Sunday.
This blog is an extension of the book Sober Identity: Tools for Reprogramming the Addictive Mind
This site is designed for sharing, in depth, the topics discussed in Sober Identity. It is also designed to reflect the principles and mindset that Sober Identity promotes.
That being said, we promote accountability and responsibility to self first.
If we do not know how to give this to self, we do not know how to extend it to another human being.
I teach:
- recovery through universal principles
- recovery through application of key competencies
- recovery through facing and overcoming personal challenges
- recovery through energy medicine (i.e. light workers, EFT, Theta Healing™)
If you are an addict or one who loves an addict please heed the following advice:
We do not recover alone. We require a support system.
This blog, recovery coaching, life coaching, 12-step programs, and support groups are all helpful and important.
Do not get thinking you can undertake this project alone.
Is it possible? Yes.
Is it probable? No
Is it advisable? No
Additionally, the recommendation of this site is that you do a medical detox.
Why? It's safest.
Need a referral? Contact me.
Last but not least, we are not "pro" or "anti" any recovery option. There are many good programs and resources. The goal is to find one that works and stay with it.

From my observation...
When arriving in the US on an international flight the aircraft stops some metres before it reaches the gate. The engines are shut-down and a tug is used to pull the aircraft the final distance to the gate.
I'm hoping someone can give me the reason for this. I have only experienced this on international flights arriving in the US, not US domestic flights, and I have never experienced it on any flight in Europe, Asia, Australia etc (usually planes arrive under their own power). Is it something to do with the terminal design at LAX, JFK etc?

How to Know if Your Child is DepressedMadeline Holler
Children, very young children, in fact, can suffer from depression. Sometimes the depression is triggered by a move or a parents divorce. Other times, it can come on unexpectedly — so much so, it's often ignored or attirbuted to some other reason.
But depression in kids, even ones 3, 5, 7 years old, is serious. The earlier treatment is sought — whether it's through medication or talk therapy or both — the more prepared a family can be for the onset of adolescence, when depression can lead to more dangerous behaviors.
Parenting magazine, via CNN, lists some signs of childhood depression. Your child may be depressed if he or she exhibits five or more of the following behaviors:
She's bored, low on energy, and having trouble concentrating
He's lost interest in once-loved activities
She's easily aggravated and prone to throwing tantrums
He's having problems at school, or is frequently absent
She's complaining about headaches, stomachaches, or other physical pain
He's eating less because food "doesn't taste good," or eating more, seemingly to try to soothe himself
She's having trouble sleeping (or sleeping too much) nearly every day
He's having difficulty in relationships
She's voicing an unusual fascination with death
Parents who suspect their children are depressed should talk to the pediatrician first, though the author of the Parenting piece warns that some pediatricians are skeptical about depression in such young children.
Depression in children is more common than we might think and it can run in families. Depression is often masked by other childhood issues, such as ADHD or obsessive compulsive disorder. We're used to depressed adults become sad and withdrawn, but depression in kids my show up in bouts of irritability.

A huge thank you to BimmerSport Automotive
I just wanted to share with you guys my experience with BimmerSport while they supercharged my car.
I bought the kit used from a member which he indicated that was complete but only missing injectors and software. Charlie booked me in (while having a FULL shop) and started preparing for the surgery. When he came to install the blower, he noticed that the blower bracket is too small to fit around the alternator and there is also some bits and pieces missing from the kit. He sourced the parts for me with much headache as it was very hard to find a blower bracket that was going to fit without going to ASA Germany. Charlie and Moe spent countless hours talking to Samir to make sure he was being responsive and sending the necessary parts.
The car is now done and i couldn't be happier. I witnessed Mikey staying until midnight just to work on my car. This goes a very long way to show how much they care about their customers and how far they will go to make sure they are 100% satisfied and happy.
I want to thank each one of you for your hard work and constant support. I owe it to these guys for driving the car problem free.
Thank you Charlie, Moe, Mikey and Johnny. You all spent countless hours working on my car and i cant thank you guys enough.

Education, Education, Archaeology
A number of innovative projects have revealed archaeology's broad educational potential. Government should take note if it is serious about education, writes George Lambrick
The main agenda for New Labour's second term is to deliver, deliver, deliver on education and health. Both Tessa Jowell, the new Culture Secretary, and Lady Blackstone, the minister responsible for heritage, have significant experience in education and they would do well to look hard at what the historic environment can contribute to people's quality of life through education and participation.
Over 95 per cent of people think the heritage is important for educating children and adults about the past, according to mori, but in England the history curriculum for children over 14 focuses almost exclusively on the last 300-400 years. This does little to promote an appreciation of the multi-cultural richness of our history, and bodes ill for the future of medieval studies. The cba campaigns for more archaeology in the curriculum, both to redress this weakness and to enrich other areas of learning, recognising that archaeology offers more fundamental educational benefits than just learning about the past.
Archaeology's value
People's abiding fascination in archaeology often stems from how it draws on so many academic disciplines and combines both physical and intellectual skills. These are characteristics that offer great scope for personal development at all ages through formal and informal education and active participation. Many subjects can be taught through archaeology, and in the process it can contribute to basic numeracy and literacy, analytical and observational skills, physical dexterity and team-working. Managed well, archaeology is an enjoyable way for people to discover what they are good at, equipping them with a multitude of transferable skills.
This has been demonstrated time and again, often in projects linked to urban or rural conservation issues. Such projects contribute to teaching the principles of citizenship and sustainability, and encourage community participation.
For example, the Sustainable Environmental Education Network in Chester has enabled local schools to contribute to the city's sustainable development strategy. Projects include a study of the disabled access and interpretation requirements of the city's famous medieval 'Rows', and several urban regeneration projects involving historic sites. Their findings have been presented directly to the city's planners.
In the Reticulum project at Newcastle University's Museum of Antiquities, a group of primary schools are helping to promote greater understanding of Roman life in northern England by using information technology to produce a CD-ROM, accompanying book and website. The project won high praise in an Ofsted report on one school whose performance in history had hugely benefited from its involvement.
The York Archaeological Trust won the plaudits of the Department of Education for an archaeological after-school club targeted at some of the more socially deprived parts of York. Through a wide range of enjoyable archaeological activities, pupils showed marked improvements in numeracy and literacy as well as other skills.
The Northumberland National Park, supported by Lottery and European funds, has provided every Key Stage 2 school in Northumberland with a literacy hour multi-media pack based on the landscape archaeology of an area around Yeavering Bell over 4,500 years, using archaeological data and including extracts from Bede and Beowulf.
At Castell Henllys, the reconstructed Iron Age hillfort recently seen in the BBC1 series Surviving the Iron Age, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and York University have developed a rich programme of research, education and interpretation. Apart from a visitor centre and exhibition, every year there is a schools programme for up to 7,000 children from 200 schools across Wales, over 80 events and activities, and a research and training dig for students and volunteers.
In Scotland, the Council for Scottish Archaeology supported by Historic Scotland has been developing the Shorewatch project, which is enabling volunteers - both groups and individuals, adults and children - to participate in assessing and monitoring the state of coastal archaeological remains threatened by coastal erosion and deposition.
Political recognition
Although numerous, varied and hugely valued locally, such schemes are nothing like common enough. In national government, departmental divisions between culture, education, environment and now planning tend to inhibit proper recognition and active promotion of such well joined-up initiatives. This is an issue for national panels on Education for Sustainable Development (the Welsh one is newly established). But it also needs political recognition. One of the challenges for DCMS, and heritage departments elsewhere in the UK, is to become real champions for the historic environment - not just within their own sphere of activity but across government - to help deliver some of the fundamental objectives of the Government's second term.

The Horror... The Horror: European July, August Sovereign Bond Issuance Calendar
Well at least Spanish 10 Year bonds aren't above 7% and Italy is safely below 6%. Wait... what's that? Oh... uh uh... uh uh... Oh... Really... Oh ok...
Scratch that.
As a reminder 7% is and has always been a very magic number for Europe:
Full forward bond issuance:
- 10 July: Greece auction. Bills.
- 12 July: Italy auction. Bills.
- 13 July: Italy auction. Bonds.
- 17 July: Spain auction. Bills.
- 17 July: Greece auction. Bills.
- 19 July: Spain auction. Bonds.
- 24 July: Spain auction. Bills.
- 26 July: Italy auction. Bonds.
- 27 July: Italy auction. Bills.
- 30 July: Italy auction. Bonds.
Other events:
- 20 July: Eurogroup meeting (tentative). According to Reuters, the MoU on Spanish bank recap has been delayed to allow more time for negotiations and a new Eurogroup meeting has been pencilled in for 20 July. The MoU is due to specify the terms of the European loans – duration and interest rates. Again according to Reuters the first tranche of the loan will be sent to Spain's bank restructuring fund (FROB) on time for the
state rescued banks.
- 2 August: Spain auction. Bonds
- 13 August: Italy auction. Bills
- 14 August: Italy auction. Bonds
- 16 August: Spain auction. Bonds
- 21 August: Spain auction. Bills
- 28 August: Spain auction. Bills
- 28 August: Italy auction. Bonds
- 29 August: Italy auction. Bills
- 30 August: Italy auction. Bonds
Other events:
20 August: ESM to become operational (Tentative). The following euro-area countries have not ratified the ESM yet: Estonia, Italy and Germany. We think they will all do by the first week of August. Then the first installment of the capital has to be paid by each ESM member within 15 days of the ESM treaty entering into force. Hence, the ESM will not be in a position to lend money until the last 10 days of August.

Are my methods unsound?
Good news.....I've stopped buying bonds.

Thanks for reminding me ... i haven't fondled my gold in a while ...
I said don't look.....and then I did......and then I did again.
How bout platinum, palladium, ruthenium and osmium? Like silver but heavier.
@ veyron
When you have LOTS to fondle, it gets even more fun.

Nice comments fleshing out one of FOFOA's many good points.
Is anyone happy with government nowadays, regardless which country they are from?
The constant worry over employment, rising food prices, loss of "quality" living and so on is having an effect around the world. You would think some of them at the top would recognize what is really happening on main streets around the world and try and fix it instead of squabbling and making promises they cannot keep except for raising the weight of the burden on our shoulders via taxes.
So if July 20th is the meeting I guess I should switch from FAZ to FAS around the 15th.
Calpers and inFidelity will buy them.
What do you get when you add Bills and Bonds together? Blonds.
Maybe they should start selling those...
It's summertime. Who cares what the rate is on Spanish bonds?
In September, when I sober up, that's when I'll look at what the
rate is on anything. Until then, QUIEN SABE!
I'm bored with Europe.
They are a c-hair away from being 100% bidless trade...on everything.
After that, you're boredom should be alleviated.
It'd be nice to know how much they're trying to auction. Is it a billion or 100 billion?
my thought too.
Spain / Portugal / Greece are absolutely screwed. Italy is a sideshow but if contagion spreads will be the end game. These are debtor nations and their only hope is to abadon the Euro or they run the risk of being a consumer driven basketcase like the USA.
Spanish 10-yr Bond Yield @ 7.024% NOW

The whole world is suffering from the Whimpy Syndrome. I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Whimpy was always hungry so I assume he never got a loan either. Soon we will hear the same from Italy...for a pizza today.

Phoenix Waterfall Repair
In our years of experience, we have seen many problematic water features; from small leaks, to complete disasters. This is due to poor design and low-quality materials and workmanship. Some water features can be repaired, while others need to be completely remodeled. Whatever the case, we can analyze the situation, and provide solutions to remedy any problem you may have. All of our repairs come with a 3 month warranty, and while we have a very high success rate, we cannot guarantee repairs against future problems because of original structural problems or settling.
There are many different methods of designing and constructing a pond or waterfall in Arizona. A common method of construction is a plastic or rubber liner. This is a more inexpensive solution for building a pond and waterfall, but usually ends up causing problems and costing more money in the long run. If liner ponds are installed correctly with an underlayment and proper liner, they can last awhile, but more often than not we encounter ponds that have no underlayment and a very thin liner. These ponds are very susceptible to penetration from animals, rocks, and tree roots. Usually the solution to this problem is removal of the liner and rebuilding with concrete, but just because a pond or waterfall is built with concrete doesn't automatically make it a better solution.
There are plenty of concrete ponds and waterfalls out there that have just as many problems as the liners. The reason concrete ponds last for a long time is because they are reinforced with rebar (metal rods) just like a swimming pool is constructed. In order to have a strong shell, the rebar should be spaced at a minimum of 12" on center, and be placed in the middle of the concrete. In other words, the rebar shouldn't be laying on the ground before the concrete is poured. It should be raised up about an inch and a half, depending on how thick the concrete is poured. Generally for a pond you want a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of concrete. This creates a strong shell that will resist cracking for many years. If a pond has a thin shell of concrete and/or is not reinforced with rebar, it will experience larger and more frequent cracks.
In our years of experience, we have seen many problematic water features, from small leaks, to complete disasters. This is due to poor design and low-quality materials and workmanship. Some water features can be repaired, while others need to be completely remodeled. Whatever the case, we can analyze the situation, and provide solutions to remedy any problem you may have. All of our repairs come with a 3 month warranty, and while we have a very high success rate, we cannot guarantee repairs against future problems because of original structural problems or settling.
Cracking is the result of tree roots, settling, expansion and contraction, among other things. Roots from mature trees can damage any piece of concrete, no matter if it is reinforced or not, so this is something to take into consideration when building or repairing any water feature. Settling is something that is not in our control. Some areas are more susceptible to tremors and settling depending on ground faults, soil composition, and other variables. Concrete expands and contracts with the rise and decline of ambient temperatures. In Arizona we don't really have to worry so much about expansion and contraction but it can affect structural integrity depending on the situation.
When repairing a concrete pond or waterfall, it is important to inspect the feature closely to identify any and all cracks, leaks, or weaknesses. Any repairs need to be on the front or the face of the area. Water flows to the path of least resistance, so this means if you repair a leak on the back of a waterfall, the water will find another path to leak out. Typically if we are repairing a waterfall, we do not have to drain the pond, but in certain situations it may be necessary. If we are repairing the pond itself, it will most definitely need to be drained and in most cases power washed to clean off any algae, calcium, or any other residue.
Natural rock waterfalls can be very beautiful if built correctly. Most are held together with a material called rock-crete. This is a mixture of crushed granite, mortar, and water. The crushed granite matches the natural stone of the area, typically called surface select. When building or repairing a waterfall the rock-crete is allowed to harden a little, then is sprayed off with a hose with a nozzle. This exposes the crushed granite and produces a natural look that matches the stone. When repairing a natural waterfall or pond, we will inspect the feature and determine the scope of the repairs. In most cases we apply two different coats of rock-crete, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the final coat. However, in some cases one coat is enough to repair the damaged areas.
If you have a problem with your pond, waterfall, or any water feature, we can assess the situation and provide you with the best solution to get you back in business. Water features can add much beauty and tranquility to any space, but if they're not working properly, they can create an opposite affect and become a headache. Let us help you get back on track.

Achievement In Costume Design
"American Hustle" - Michael Wilkinson
"The Grandmaster" - William Chang Suk Ping
"The Great Gatsby" - Catherine Martin
"The Invisible Woman" - Michael O'Connor
"12 Years A Slave" - Patricia Norris
Should Win: Hmm, nothing here is particularly grabby (though I'll admit I haven't seen "The Grandmaster" yet), but I wouldn't be against "American Hustle" picking up the prize, as those 70s threads were pretty well done.
Will Win: Another reasonably close one. "12 Years A Slave" got the guild award at the weekend, while "The Great Gatsby" took the BAFTA, but "American Hustle" is in with a chance (and given the Academy's propensity for awarding any British costume drama—see "The Young Victoria"—"The Invisible Woman" shouldn't be counted out). In the end, I'm just gonna lean towards the guilds and "12 Years A Slave," but it's going to be very, very close and either "Gatsby" or "Hustle" could break through instead.
Achievement In Music Written For Motion Pictures (Original Song)
"Happy" from "Despicable Me 2" -- Music and Lyrics by Pharrell Williams
"Let It Go" from "Frozen" -- Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
"The Moon Song" from "Her" -- Music by Karen O, Lyrics by Karen O and Spike Jonze
"Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom" -- Music by Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Lyrics by Paul Hewson
Should Win: It's pretty slight, but "The Moon Song" is sort of lovely, and as a big Karen O fan still stinging that none of her "Where The Wild Things Are" work was recognized, I'd love to see her pick something up here.
Will Win: "Let It Go." Disney was so confident about this one that they didn't submit any other songs from "Frozen," and as the sole movie musical among the nominees, it's at an immediate advantage. This is an easy one.
Achievement In Music Written For Motion Pictures (Original Score)
"The Book Thief" - John Williams
"Gravity" - Steven Price
"Her" - William Butler and Owen Pallett
"Philomena" - Alexandre Desplat
"Saving Mr. Banks" - Thomas Newman
Should Win: One of the weakest line-ups I can remember for this category, with three veterans turning in eminently forgettable work. I'd go with Arcade Fire's "Her" score. Partly because I'm a terrible hipster, and partly because "Gravity," for all its strength, becomes a bit overbearing at the end.
Will Win: "Her" could be a dark horse (don't forget Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor winning a few years back), but this looks likely to go to Price and "Gravity", given the importance of the score to the movie. I'll close my eyes and pretend it was for his work on "Attack The Block" instead.
Best Animated Feature Film
"The Croods"
"Despicable Me 2"
"Ernest & Celestine"
"The Wind Rises"
Should Win: "The Wind Rises." It's not Miyazaki's very best film (check out our Miyazaki ranked feature), but it's one of his most personal, and certainly great work from a hall-of-fame filmmaker, one that's apparently the director's last. The maestro has one Oscar, for "Spirited Away," but it would be a great way to close off his career to give him another.
Will Win: Unfortunately, the Academy are unlikely to be as sentimental about the director, particularly given the allegations from some quarters (entirely unfair) that the film is an apologia for Japanese actions during the war. Given that it was such a box-office juggernaut, this is "Frozen" all over.
Best Documentary Feature
"The Act Of Killing"
"Cutie And The Boxer"
"Dirty Wars"
"The Square"
"20 Feet From Stardom"
Should Win: "The Act Of Killing." There isn't a bad film here—it's one of the strongest line-ups in the history of the category, I'd say—but "The Act Of Killing" is certainly the most inventive and powerful, and would be a deserving winner.
Will Win: "The Act Of Killing" is definitely in the running, but there's a tendency to go with crowd-pleasers or more obviously issue-driven movies over the critical favorite here. As such, I'm going to predict a win for "The Square," though "20 Feet From Stardom" could still figure in.
Best Foreign Language Film
"The Broken Circle Breakdown"
"The Great Beauty"
"The Hunt"
"The Missing Picture"
Should Win: "The Missing Picture" is an extraordinary film, and one of the most atypical nominees in this category in a long time (it also makes a handy companion piece for "The Act Of Killing"). It probably doesn't have a hope though.
Will Win: It's going to be close between the Belgian, Danish and Italian films, and any one could conceivably take the prize. Most are leaning towards "The Great Beauty," which did will with precursors, including BAFTA. "The Hunt" is viable, but divisive enough that I think it'll fall short. But for some reason, I have a gut feeling about "The Broken Circle Breakdown," which is the kind of respectable melodrama that often wins out in this category over more formally audacious fare like the Sorrentino film.
Achievement In Film Editing
"American Hustle" - Jay Cassidy, Crispin Struthers and Alan Baumgarten
"Captain Phillips" - Christopher Rouse
"Dallas Buyers Club" - John MacMurphy and Martin Pensa
"Gravity" - Alfonso Cuaron and Mark Sanger
"12 Years A Slave" - Joe Walker
Should Win: "Captain Phillips" might have the more impressive micro-editing, but it's the structural rigor of "12 Years A Slave"'s cutting that feels more substantial and memorable to me.
Will Win: Between "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips," and this'll be another telling one. If "Gravity" wins, it's also taking Best Picture. If the other does, it would seem to point the way towards something else taking the top prize. Right now, I favor "Captain Phillips," if only because the long takes of "Gravity" can, incorrectly, give the impression that there's less work to be done than on Paul Greengrass' rapid-fire film.
Achievement In Cinematography
"The Grandmaster" - Philippe Le Sourd
"Gravity" - Emmanuel Lubezki
"Inside Llewyn Davis" - Bruno Delbonnel
"Nebraska" - Phedon Papamichael
"Prisoners" - Roger A. Deakins
Should Win: "Gravity" and "Prisoners" are gorgeous (I'm sure "The Grandmaster" is too, but again, haven't managed to see it yet), but I'd pick Bruno Delbonnel's work on "Inside Llewyn Davis," if only for the shot of the cat looking out the subway window. But basically, anything except "Nebraska."
Will Win: It's finally Chivo's time—having missed out a number of times, "Gravity" looks like a home-run here, especially given the way that the Academy has favored 3D effects extravaganzas in this category over the years: "Avatar," "Hugo" and "Life Of Pi" all won.

Comments about American Audio Q-2422 PRO 3-Channel DJ Mixer:
I looked at American Audio mixers online previously and was suspicious of the spec, given the low price. But a friend of mine had an American Audio mixer some years ago, and I always liked the faders. I have just found a local shop stocking them (as there are few who do in the UK), and I had the chance to play with the 2422 Pro... Wow...! I've been in the business for about 15 years plus, and I've had Realistic (Radio Shack), Gemini, Vestax, Denon, Pioneer and Studiomaster mixers in that time, but the Quality of this mixer for the money is truly stunning. I'm planning to buy one as soon as I have the cash, as I've been looking for some time for something just like this. Features like fader start, split cue, lovely faders, nice EQ's, gains that go down to zero, a zone output With EQ, and most of all, 3 channels in a 19" format! I can't stand equipment that has superfluous items on, and I really only want things I will make use of and that will do the job when I want them to. I'm sold!

Technically, yes; but the relationship Codd described is nothing like the relationships Chen (sort of) described.
Similarly, Date and Darwen have dropped the term 'domain' in
> favour of 'type', which decision certainly eliminates a lot of explaining.
In TTM3, they've stopped using familiar terms because they were familiar terms; no longer does the prose seem to gently guide readers along the path to enlightenment. (This, I think, is due mostly to Darwen's style.) Received on Sun Apr 23 2006 - 11:43:43 CDT

Eight Terrapin Teams Could Soon Get the Ax
A commission recommended that Maryland eliminate eight teams to address financial losses in the school's 27-team athletic department. They include five men's teams (tennis, swimming and diving and three running teams) and three women's ones (water polo, swimming and diving and acrobatics and tumbling). "I believe we'll get through it and we'll get through it with flying colors," said athletic director Kevin Anderson.

Hassan Is a Constant for Egyptian Soccer
Egyptian soccer player Ahmed Hassan equalled the record for most national team appearances in a 2-0 loss to Brazil Monday. The 36-year-old midfielder (above), who made his Egypt debut in 1995, earned his 178th cap. Hassan will likely break the mark in Egypt's next game, as Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Mohamed Al Deayea, who shares the record, hasn't played for the national team since 2006.

It's funny when a rider that can't handled the high-tech in a motogp machine such as CF frame and stressed member engine made a predictions about the low-tech domination. He seem can't let go the low-tech familiarity which was shadowed by the overpriced high cost technology.
Coming from a country that so familiar the high-tech engineering, he seem had a long way to catch up the knowledge and the ability to use the high-tech racing machine. I guess, he is a slow learner individual from a high-tech country.

Dance, Drama and Performance and Dyspraxia
Challenges - this link takes you to more specific challenges associated with learning.
Dance, Drama and Performance and Students with Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is a specific learning difficulty that affects the brain's ability to plan sequences of movement. It is thought to be connected to the way that the brain develops, and can affect the planning of what to do and how to do it. It is often associated with problems of perception, language and thought. The effects that dyspraxia has on a person's ability to function in a day-to-day environment, as well as in a learning environment can vary, depending on the degree of difficulty.
It is possible that dyspraxic students will experience difficulties with their gross motor skills which can affect their ability to balance and learn skills of coordination. They may also experience clumsy gait, poor posture and a tendency to bump into things or trip over things. These are all factors that can affect a student during dance and drama studies. However, students are also likely to be able to develop their own strategies to overcome any difficulties. Tutors will therefore need to be mindful of the difficulties a dyspraxic student may be facing and if necessary, communicate with them about alternative teaching or assessment methods that may be more suited to the individual student.
Read more detailed information about this impairment. Remember you can use the back button to return to this page.
Teaching strategies associated with Dyspraxia
These strategies are suggestions for inclusive teaching. This list should not be considered exhaustive and it is important to remember that all students are individuals and good practice for one student may not necessarily be good practice for another. You may also like to contact the Disability Specialist in your institution for further information. If you have any good practice that you would like to add to this list, please email your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com
General support for students might include an assessment of individual need, advice on suitable courses, and an institutional policy on assisting students with dyspraxia, grants to help with purchase of equipment and support where necessary, informing tutors and setting up support groups. In addition there are a number of more specific assistance that may help students with dyspraxia, although it should be remembered that each individual has different needs and students will therefore need to be consulted over what best suits their needs.
In Lectures
- Give clear handouts on the subject.
- Write new terms on the blackboard or overhead.
- Let students use recorders or assistants for note-taking.
- Repeat and summarise the main points of the lecture.
- Understand that students may be easily distracted.
- Videoing lectures can be very helpful.
- Multi-sensory materials are important.
- Help students to prioritise books on reading lists.
- Break work down into segments or chunks.
In Seminars and Tutorials
- Give students more time to frame and answer questions.
- Be aware that students may be easily distracted by noise and movement.
- Allow students to take regular breaks if necessary.
- Encourage attendance at study skills tutorials.
- Encourage students as much as possible, emphasising strengths.
- Encourage other students to give assistance.
- Be patient if students have slow speech, and avoid making assumptions about IQ.
When Writing Essays and Reports
- Provide extra time for course work.
- One to one tuition at least once a week from a specialist support tutor is essential for most dyspraxic students.
- Provide help with planning, organisation, writing and paragraphing.
- Existing essays and reports can be offered as examples to students.
- Provide help with proof-reading.
Organisation and Time-Management
- Teach self-organising strategies.
- Provide written directions and checklists for assignments.
- Visually highlight important information and instructions.
- Make use of daily schedules.
- Provide more time to complete tasks if necessary.
- Structure time and chunk down larger tasks.
- Provide frequent changes of activity.
Exams: Before and During
- Extra help with revision.
- Extra time.
- Using a computer during examinations can be helpful for some students.
- Students may need to use scribes.
- Students may need to take examinations in a separate room to avoid distractions.

The theme of the immigrant experience has become a burgeoning sub-genre in both cinema and literature. The latest such film on tap is "Brick Lane," a debut feature helmed by Sarah Gavron, who previously had mainly a BAFTA-winning TV movie to her credit. The project presented multiple challenges. Writers Laura Jones and Abi Morgan had to compress the acclaimed 500 page novel by Monica Ali (short listed for Britain's Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2003). Gavron needed to devise a visual equivalent for the rich inner life of a notably silent heroine. The filmmakers scoured the world in search of actors to play the Bangladeshi characters. Add to that, Gavron, who's Caucasian, was making a movie about Bangladeshis.
The story concerns Nazneen (Tanishtha Chatterjee), a poor Bangladeshi village girl, who's sent to London at age seventeen for an arranged marriage to an older, educated man (the splendid Satish Kaushik). The film focuses on the signal year 2001, with Nazneen now thirty and living with her family in a dreary apartment complex. Imbued with her mother's precepts, Nazneen resignedly accepts her marriage to a corpulent blowhard with an inflated sense of his own prospects, raising two irreverent daughters, taking in sewing, and finding escape in shimmering memories of life in her native country with a beloved sister who married for love. Enter hot, young Karim (Christopher Simpson), who becomes her lover and opens her to the wider world.
To date "Brick" has been unevenly received. While Monica Ali's novel was sprawling and Dickensian, the film is a chamber piece, foregoing dramatic thrust in favor of quiet moments leading a reticient woman toward self-discovery. With its delicacy and penchant for pretty images, "Brick" raises the uncomfortable notion of cinema that reflects a female sensibility. On the plus side, this story of a woman's coming of age should resonate with female viewers across ethnic groups. "Brick" also takes a complex view of Islamic culture, often reversing expectations: the good-hearted, if clownish Chanu defies the usual stereotype of the Muslim husband to become a nuanced, poignant figure. And at the film's heart lies the question, What is home? indieWIRE recently sat down with Sarah Gavron, a refreshing and unassuming woman who discussed her film in a Brit accent so plummy you could spread it on a scone.
indieWIRE: when you were filming in East London, the real inhabitants of Brick Lane raised hell and cadged a lot of publicity. What was that all about?
Sarah Gavron: Though I grew up around immigrant communities and knew East London pretty well, not being Bangladeshi, I was an outsider to that world. Now, there are certain advantages to the director being the outsider. Standing at the door looking in, you can pull the universal story. Look at Shekhar Kapur and "Elizabeth." Ang Lee came over and made the quintessential English film, "Sense and Sensibility". Anyway, we were about to shoot on Brick Lane - it's called Banglatown, a really vibrant area, a symbolic type of place. A sanctuary for immigrants searching for a home. The mosque used to be a synagogue; before that it was a church -- it reflects the changing population ... And I got this call that there was a threat. If we shot on the street itself people might get hurt. You take that seriously, obviously. We investigated and it turned out to be a tiny minority, some of whom hadn't read the book. They were talking about scenes that might upset businesses. Like a leech falling into a curry pot in a Brick Lane restaurant - which wasn't in the book. A lot of people from the community came out and said this doesn't reflect our view. But because they threatened violence, their voices were heard.
iW: What do you think was their real objection? Was it a fundamentalist group that was opposed?
No, mostly some older traditional men in the community. And probably underpinning their opposition, though they never stated it, was that the story is about a woman's journey toward independence.
iW: What drew you to this story? Was it the notion of a woman's self-empowerment - I hate that phrase!
I'm not crazy about empowerment either. How about finding her place in the world and her voice?
iW: Did you ever fear that this might be an overworked theme? It's awfully common here in books, theater, and film. How did you meet the challenge of making it fresh?
No one has asked that question before. I felt what was unique about the novel was that though it's set in this niche in society, the story's universal. It's about people we can all connect with. And it's not dealing with the extremes or the stereotypes of Asian cinema - not about suicide bombers or a wife beater. In fact, the husband Chanu is not at all what you expect. And Nasneen doesn't throw off her sari and put on Western clothes. It's not that journey. It's a rather quieter one that deals with the human story and views the political from inside. You know, in England, you sit next to a veiled woman on the underground and they feel like the Other, they feel very separate. But all sorts of white women bought the book and connected with the marriage. Which is unusual for a story set in that community about an arranged marriage
iW: What did women identify with?
The sense of entrapment. At a film festival an older Spanish woman came up with her son and he said, she wants to kiss you for putting her life on the screen. So it crosses these cultures. I could really connect to it because Naseen was closest to my grandmother, who was a first generation immigrant from Germany in the 50's, a time very restrictive for women. And Nasneen's journey happens in rather an original way, not the obvious way of a woman who becomes an outspoken person and reads feminist literature. She's not that, but someone sophisticated in a very different way.
iW: How did you meet the challenge of conveying Nasneen's inner life in cinematic terms?
That was the central challenge. How you cinematically capture that journey. It's more of an emotional journey.. So my strategy was to project the film through her eyes. The camera, so to speak, is subjective; the mise en scene, the music, the lighting, the sound, the camera positions are all reflecting her emotional state in some way. And the Bangladesh of her childhood is deliberately idealized, and we subvert it later on. Because of course the reality is that Bangladesh is a country beset by natural disasters and political instability. But it's also beautiful and culturally rich. And if you talk to immigrants, what they remember is an idealized version of it. And I wanted to capture that and show how she's living in a dreamworld, sort of hiding from the harsh realities: her sister's life, her mother's suicide, the unsuitability of her lover. And it's only towards the end when she has that breakdown and Chanu confronts her with the truth [about her sister] that she lets go of the past.
iW: Have you heard from Monica Ali?
Very much so. At first she was incredibly uninvolved. We sent her casting tapes and scripts. They were unopened. We invited her to the set. She didn't come. She admitted that she'd read this quote by novelist John Fowles that having your novel turned into a film is like watching oxen turned into bouillon cubes. Then I pushed her to come to a rough cut screening of the film. And she said she felt that we'd really captured the essence of the book and she had the unnerving experience of watching her characters walk off the page. And from that point on, she was very hands on and supportive, and came to Toronto and the BAFTAs and really supported us through the process of putting it out.
iW: You've directed only TV movies, shorts and docs. What gave you the confidence that you could take on a film of this dimension?
At first I felt daunted and scared.
iW : Why did they offer it to you?
I'd made this film called "This Little Life," and it went round the fests and won awards and did well. It was a subjective story told from a woman's perspective, And the woman who runs Film Four liked it a lot. And when they optioned "Brick Lane," they thought of me. I didn't make it any different way than I made the other films. But just in practical terms, there was more pressure.
iW: Though the film is set in 2001, I was struck by how you soft-pedaled the political aspects of the story. What dictated that decision?
You go into those communities, and they're not concerned with depictions of radical Islam and extremism. We're saturated with those on our TV screens and drama and media. Y'know, that's our only image. But an incendiary subject in those communities is a woman having an affair. For a Muslim that's political. And what's really deeply political is telling the story from the POV of a marginalized voice, which is the woman, and seeing the world through her eyes. Of course from a Western perspective, we don't get that ...
iW: But I meant the political dimension in the film seems almost an omission.
Well, what the novel does, and it's very timely, is it approaches the politics from the interior. It's not an issue film. We've had all these issue films. TV deals with it endlessly. What we haven't had is something that looks at an ordinary family who is dealing with those struggles. And very deliberately sticks with this cloistered female perspective that sees those political events that we all know about. It's about how they impact on one individual. The effect of 9/11 was that Nazneen's little family realizes that they were going to be the target of Islamaphobic attacks. It motivated Chanu to want to go home. It changes the views of her lover. But Nazneen only glimpses these things fleetingly, because we stay in her very particular perspective. And I thought that would be the original thing to do.

With four successful restaurants and a midtown food truck in the works, Anita took a moment from her hectic day to sit down with me over lunch at her West Village restaurant, Bar Q .
LM: As the first woman to win Iron Chef, can you talk about being a female chef / owner of a restaurant?
AL: It has its good points and its bad points. Being one of the few female chefs out there, there's a certain amount of extra attention you get, at least from the media, so it's easier in that respect. But, I get the feeling that it's harder for us to get backers.
LM: Coming from Kentucky, I love barbeque. What was the thought behind this restaurant?
AL: I've been thinking about this concept for the greater part of a decade. Back in the late 90s, maybe the early 2000s, all those barbeque places started to come up. I had been a chef at Mirezi, over on Fifth Avenue, which was a Korean concept. What we know of Korean cuisine here is Korean barbeque, so when this barbeque craze started happening I thought, 'Someone should do something different. I could do an Asian barbeque.' All the items I had on my menu at Mirezi and some of "barbeque" inspired dishes at Annisa were some of my most popular dishes, so it just made sense to come together and do this concept.
LM: Today organic and local are the new craze. Do you have any thoughts of adding those elements to your restaurant?
AL: No, not at all. That's not my focus. I would never try to market myself as local or sustainable, but I absolutely adore all of those aspects. I can say that I try to, but there are so many different issues here. I'm an angler. I'm a fisherman. I don't buy Chilean sea bass. I don't buy farmed Atlantic salmon. My menus are very seasonal. I do go to the farmer's market -- in the summertime, probably twice a week; in the wintertime, maybe once a week.
That being said, the focus of my business is more about multicultural cuisine than local sustainable. If I'm doing the multicultural, I am bringing in ingredients from Japan, and I love all that. I have a house on Long Island and when I'm out there I only eat locally. I'm big on the environment. I ride my bike. I recycle. I hope that local sustainable will continue to grow, but I hope we don't lose other cuisines because of it.
LM: You're Chinese-American and studied in France, but what different cultures do you look to for culinary inspiration?
AL: There's a billion different ways of coming at a recipe. I am Chinese-American, but culturally I'm very much a mutt. My nanny was Hungarian. I grew up with a lot of that food. We had other nannies that were African-American, so I grew up with a lot soul food. My family traveled everywhere. I am adaptable, but I don't really know that much about Chinese food. It's a huge continent with a lot of different cuisines in there.
If there's one cuisine I thought I knew the most about it's be French. However, the French have a culture of being very nationalistic. Even when I was in cooking school, people didn't know what sushi was. I was working at an internship in 1989, 1990 at a two star restaurant and the chef de cuisine brought over a plate of sushi and said, 'What is this?' I, as the Asian-American, had to explain. I think there's an ignorance of others culture that's pervasive. They call everything Chinese and it's mostly Japanese.
LM: Do you have time for travel, or how does your cuisine evolve?
AL: I do a lot of work related vacations. When I graduated from college, I thought I was going to work for the UN and have more of an international life. I thought I'd take vacations outside the United States. It's happening now sort of where I'm being invited abroad. This past year, I went to Paris and London for a long weekend and I did this thing in Chicago. I think this was the first year I've done that.
If I had more time I would take trips just to go fishing. I usually take a week to ten days off in the end of August to just go up to my house. I have a house in East Moriches, which is on the south side of Long Island where Fire Island ends and the Hamptons begin. I fish mostly in Moriches Bay, and hopefully once or twice in the fall I'll get to go up to Montauk.
LM: Do you eat what you catch?
AL: Oh, absolutely. As long as it's legal.
LM: Do you cook at home for yourself?
AL: I do, but not in the city. I think the last time I cooked in the city I set off the fire alarm. I have a 450-square-foot walk up on Charles Street and then there's that whole issue of smelling up the apartment building. When I was younger I used to cook at home, but my style of cooking is very influenced by the restaurant cooking, so if I'm cooking meat it's at either 300 degrees or 500 -- those are the only two temperatures I know. What happens is I would open the window, but the smell doesn't go out the window, it goes into the hallway. Your apartment smells like whatever you've been cooking for the next five days.
Also, there are so many inexpensive good places to get food, it's like why? But in Long Island, there's not much, maybe one good restaurant in town. That's where I can relax and cook my slow food and there's fishing, there's crabbing, there's clamming. There's a lot of natural, local food there that's so good.
LM: What's your normal schedule? What's an average day?
AL: It depends on the day. Mondays, I spend most of my time at Rickshaw . So I'll get up between 11 and 12, and I'll walk the dogs. I have two little Shih Tzus -- Mochi and Adzuki, "rice" and "beans." I walk the dogs and then I get on my bike. Sometimes I'll go to the Greenmarket. Then I'll check on both Rickshaws. Usually I'll come here and check on everybody. Look at the line. Go back and forth during the service.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I need to be on the line at Annisa. Saturday is Greenmarket day again, and then I have events at night sometimes. We're about to open a Rickshaw food truck uptown, so I've put in a lot of work into that. I've been trying out how we're going to cook the dumplings on the truck. That's been interesting.
LM: New York has made fast food restaurants post their caloric content, but a recent article in the New York Post pointed out discrepancies between restaurants' recorded nutritional information and their actual menu items?
AL: From my understanding (and I could be wrong), it wasn't just the calorie content of each item, but the entire nutritional content, which would be difficult to post, as it would make menus way too long. I'm not against posting calorie content in fast food restaurants, but you'd have to have a margin of error. Typically, fast food restaurants have standardized recipes which are supposed to all be meticulously weighed, measured and executed to a T, but there's always an X factor.
I have Rickshaw, which doesn't fall into that category yet, though we will. It's not a bad thing, however I don't think anyone wants to dine out that way in fine dining. I think there are better ways to go about it. I think there should be more control over media, over advertising. I'm sure the government is probably adding to this problem by supporting all these companies. That's got to stop too.
LM: To which of your restaurants would you take the presidential nominees?
AL: McCain would have to go to Annisa. At the end of the day, I'd try to make them happy. I'm sure they wouldn't have time for a tasting menu. I'd probably try to show them what's multicultural about my cuisine. My cuisine is 'contemporary American" which is a multicultural cuisine. I bring in influences from all over the world, sometimes into one dish (or in one dish, one could argue many different cultural influences). This country was built by immigrants and this is reflected in what I think is our 'haute cuisine'.

An Overview on Devices, Safety and Recalls
Innovative technology has improved many medical devices to assist patients suffering from a variety of conditions. Many individuals facing life-threatening or chronic medical issues undergo extensive surgery and have medical devices implanted, or use the device externally before, during and after a medical procedure. As a result, improvements in medical advancements are delivering much-improved patient outcomes.
Medical devices include any apparatus, implant, machine or instrument intended to improve, prevent, assist or treat a medical condition or disease. Literally thousands of medical devices are used in the health care industry, including:
- Knee and hip implants
- Breast implants
- Heart defibrillator
- Catheters
- Contact lenses
- Mesh hernia patches
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Heart valve implants
- Kidney dialysis filters
- Insulin pumps
- Heart stents
- Dental implants
- Transvaginal mesh (TDM)
- Spinal fusion bone grafts
- Pain pump and syringes
- Pacemakers
Unfortunately, medical devices are not without inherent risks, even though all medical device manufacturers are required by law to adhere to strict regulations enforced by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
This organization sets medical device standards and regulates all medical devices and equipment. Any failure of a device to adhere to the standards allows the FDA to request a voluntary recall by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer refuses to comply with the FDA request, the agency can issue the recall.
In addition to the FDA, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) maintains accurate records on accidents and mishaps with medical devices. On average, there are more than 450,000 injuries caused by medical devices every year in the US.
Defective Medical Devices
Many times, when a medical device is defective it can cause damage or injury to the patient that may take hours, days, months or years to realize. Sometimes, the defective medical device actually causes death due to poor construction, development or design. Other times, the attending physician might cause a medical error during a procedure when using or implanting the device, or through an infection that develops due to using the device.
A Rush to Market
Medical device manufacturers spend billions in the research and development phase on a single product in an effort to compete in a crowded medical marketplace. These companies often face intense pressure from their shareholders to recoup the extensive costs.
Often times there are unfortunate compromises during the assessment and evaluation processes. These large companies will neglect safety and health issues to rush the product to market to start generating profits. Sadly, faulty designs of medical devices often lead to serious injuries or death for the unsuspecting patient who was taking strides to improve their health. Many times, the defect of the medical device is not found until the unit is made available to the general public.
Common Side Effects
In addition to dying from a failure of a medical device, patients also experience a variety of other common side effects that can lead to serious injury or eventual death. Some of the most common side effects acquired through a defective medical device include:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Blood clots
- Inflammatory response
- Tissue erosion
- Sudden cardiac death
- Stroke
- Infection
- Cartilage destruction
Aside from the serious side effects, many patients suffer extensive pain and discomfort. Manufacturers of medical equipment are completely responsible for the safety and reliability of the products they bring to market. When the manufacturer fails to develop, manufacture and maintain those basic standards, and the device causes serious injuries or death, they can be held legally responsible by the consumer.
Medical lawsuits are more than just about poor standard of care, misdiagnosis and malpractice. In fact, too often the medical device fails or produces serious side effects that cause significant injuries, sickness or death. When this occurs, it is essential to hire a personal injury attorney who handles personal liability cases, and specializes in defective medical devices. The attorney will skillfully investigate the medical procedure, the device's history and the extent of the patient's outcome to evaluate the potential of financial compensation.
Current Recalled Medical Devices
With the literally thousands of medical products on the market, many have been recalled for defects. Some recalled devices include:
- J & J Hard Stents
- Zimmer and Stryker Hip Implants
- Medtronic and Guidant Heart Defibrillators
- Bard Composix Kugel Hernia Mesh
- Wright Pro Femur Implant
- NuvaRing Contraceptive Device
- Transvaginal Mesh Bladder Slings
- Zimmer, Stryker and Depuy Knee Implants
- Post-Operative Pain Pumps
- Medtronic Infuse Spinal Fusion Bone Graph

Michael Foods knows acquisitions. The company is made up of severalautonomous units, each of which was once a small family-owned business. Usually,the company likes to preserve the entrepreneurial spirit of the small companiesit buys while providing them with the benefits of a big corporation, says BradCook, executive vice president of corporate development. But in 1997, when itapproached Papetti's Hygrade Egg Products Inc. in New Jersey, the stakes weredifferent. It was by far the largest acquisition the company had ever made.Papetti's and Michael Foods' Waldbaum division produced similar egg products andhad always competed for the top two standings in the market. "They were intensecompetitors in every category," Cook says.
But the Papetti family was ready to sell, and it was an excellent strategicfit with Michael Foods. Papetti's had plants on the East Coast, Waldbaum waslocated in the Midwest; they had similar customers and products, and togetherthey could achieve market dominance.
Culturally, however, the two companies were vastly different. Papetti's wasrun almost entirely by family members, and not much information was shared withemployees, Cook says. Michael Foods was a big public company with open dialogueand a more corporate atmosphere.
Because of those differences, Michael Foods preserved Papetti's as a uniquedivision for the first three years after the acquisition. Family members stayedon, and little changed within the culture of the company. There was one kickoffmeeting in 1997, at which Papetti's and Waldbaum leaders got together and talkedabout a plan to integrate plant operations, but little happened after everyonewent home, Cook says.
After a few years, however, Michael Foods' executives decided therelationship had to change. In 2000, as Arthur Papetti, the company's presidentand patriarch, prepared to retire, Ken Neishi, VP of operations, was asked totruly integrate the two company's plant operations. "Up until that time, thePapetti's division was considered `those people on the East Coast,"' Neishisays. There was no relationship between the two groups. Papetti's evenmaintained its own sales force and distribution network. "We knew there werebenefits to capture, but they were hard to get to," he says. "Our operationstyles were so different, it was painful."
Neishi turned to the Belgard Group for help. Using the consultancy's highlysuccessful team-training approach, Neishi and Bill Belgard set to work bringingPapetti's into the fold.
"It was difficult," Cook says. "There was a lot of negativity between thetwo divisions. Each thought they were better."
Instead of pitting the two groups against each other, Neishi wanted to createa new business, incorporating the best of both divisions throughrelationship-building and trust. He began by visiting Papetti's plant andgetting to know the division leaders. The visits were purely to network, not tomake changes or evaluate productivity, he says. Papetti's employees appreciatedthe diplomacy of the meetings, and the barriers began to drop. "It's amazinghow well those trips went," he says. "The relationships we began there arestill strong."
After the visits, Neishi and Belgard brought unit leaders from all the plantstogether in a neutral location for a team-building session. When they all walkedinto the room on the first day, the tension was palpable. "It was like a unionnegotiation, with eight guys on one side of the table and eight guys on theother staring each other down," Neishi says. There was a lot of skepticism andsuspicion, but Neishi and Belgard went to great lengths to ease their minds. Tomake the session seem as unbiased as possible, they brought in A.J. Papetti,vice president of the East Coast division, to lead much of the meeting--withNeishi's guidance. They also integrated team-building and dialogue into everyactivity, from setting breakthrough goals to generating ideas on rapidprototyping.
"We made sure everyone knew there were no sacred cows in the group. We werelooking for best practices no matter where they were," Neishi says. Everyonehad a chance to talk, and all ideas were accepted. By the second day,participants' concerns had been largely set aside. "They started to engage inthe process and work to develop cross-functional teams," he says.
Opportunities for improvement were identified at all of the plants, andsuddenly there was a coalition forming, Cook adds. During that session theybuilt an operations council establishing groups across product lines--notdivisions--to work on improvement plans at all facilities.
"It was painful at first, but the relationship-building and show of respectpaid off," Cook says. One of the big successes for the operations council was aredesign at the New Jersey plant that was executed flawlessly by the Papetti'sgroup, saving the company $250,000 in labor costs annually. "Everyone atheadquarters was talking about that victory, which built a lot of pride andconfidence in Papetti's employees."
Neishi made a point of broadcasting the plant's success across the company. "We learned early on that this process isn't just about making improvements;it's about celebrating people."
Today when the team-building meetings are held, there's no way to tell whocame from Papetti's and who came from Waldbaum. In 2001, the company wentprivate and the remaining Papetti's family members retired. Since then, thesales force, human resources, and finance groups have been centralized, and thetwo groups are now one consolidated division.
The improvements they've been able to implement as a result of this meetingof the minds have also been astounding.
At the original 2000 meeting, they set a goal to save $15 million inoperating costs and have long since achieved it. Now they are striving to makefurther process improvements.
"By showing respect for our differences, a new culture has arisen," Cooksays. "Together we are pursuing a vision for the future."

PETALING JAYA: Even in the face of impending school bus fare increases, parent-teacher associations (PTAs) may not be the best party to provide school bus services to students as most already have way too much on their plates.
According to SMK USJ 12 PTA committee member P.C. Yeoh, it was doubtful that PTAs would have the manpower and expertise to run the school bus business.
"The PTA should be focused on its primary roles. Having to run a school bus service would divert its attention. Can they guarantee reliable service at a cheaper price without cutting corners?" Yeoh asked yesterday.
"Furthermore, students from the school may not come from the same neighbourhood, so there is also the challenge of route optimisation," he added.
Yeoh also expressed his concern that individuals with vested interests could possibly lobby to be on the PTA board in order to land the school bus contract, instead of parents who have genuine interest in championing student welfare.
It was reported on Sunday that the Land Public Transport Commision gave the green light for PTAs to run their own fleet of buses to serve their students, while parents were given the permission to engage independent operators.
The move was announced following demands by school bus operators to raise their fares starting this new school year.
Yeoh acknowledged that there were problems faced by parents who relied on school bus services.
"The increase in bus fare is a burden to parents but many of them have no choice but to engage the service. Sometimes, there are too many students on a bus that the last student has to wait for more than an hour before reaching home after school," said Yeoh.
SK Bukit Damansara chairman Nik Faruk Sadzil said the Government should not be hasty in the decision to liberalise the school bus service sector.
"PTAs should be consulted on this matter. We are talking about the safety of our children here. Licences for the school bus service should not be given out freely," said Nik Faruk, who agreed that PTAs did not have the manpower to provide school bus services.
"Parents who join the PTA are rendering a social service to the school. Running a school bus service involves a lot of work. For instance, the PTA will have the additional task of collecting the bus fare every month," said Nik Faruk.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Daveon Boardingham scored 24 points, hitting 12 of 15 free throws, as Southern Miss outlasted Florida Atlantic 60-49 on Sunday.
Southern Miss (25-5, 12-3 Conference USA) moved into a first-place tie with Middle Tennessee with one game to play.
The Eagles went on a 9-0 run midway through the first half, as Florida Atlantic (10-20, 5-10) went scoreless for 7 minutes, en route to a 31-24 lead at the break.
FAU cut the lead to three on a Justin Raaffington jumper with 5:30 left in the game. But Southern Miss responded with an 8-0 run as FAU made just one of its last five shots and turned it over three times in the last 4:22.
Aaron Brown added 15 points for USM, making all eight of his free throw attempts.
Raffington paced FAU with 14 points. Jackson Trapp had 11 and Tyler Pate added 10.

The Biggest Loser: Ashley Johnston And Koli Palu Of Season Nine Are Officially A Couple
September 08, 2010 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
If you tuned into season nine of The Biggest Loser on NBC, you were probably like most of us, hoping that two of the four finalists, Michael Ventrella and Ashley Johnston would fall in love. I mean, after all they seemed to have the perfect friendship, right? Well apparently their friendship was not as great as Ashley's was with fellow finalist Koli Palu as it has been recently reported that the two are officially a couple, crushing all hope of a Michael and Ashley hookup. Keep reading for all the details!
Sorry to disappoint all the fans of NBC's The Biggest Loser who were hoping for an Ashley and Michael hookup. Ashley Johnston is officially off the market as she is in a relationship with Koli Palu and according to Ashley they are in love as she gushes to Star magazine "I was dating a few guys from home, but I was never as happy with any of them the way I was with Koli.That's when I realized I loved him. I was actually on a date and ran outside to call Koli Bear." Apparently the pair is dealing with a long distance relationship at the moment but according to Ashley they "are making it work".
Koli Palu has his share to say on their relationship as well as he told Star "Are we engaged? No. Are we working towards it? Yeah!" So it looks at though wedding bells may be in this couple's future. Both of them go on to say that their relationship was founded in becoming the best of friends at the ranch, and that they decided to push to the next level during their recent trip to the San Francisco Triathlon. Now, if only The Bachelor and The Bachelorette had such a high success rate….maybe they should start taking notes from The Biggest Loser ranch!
Remember, The Biggest Loser on NBC returns on September 21st at 8 pm EST for the premiere of season ten!

Its me again.
I'm looking to make some kind of program that helps out server administrators with their FarCry 2 server.
Does anyone know if there is a query port for the FarCry 2 servers?
Or... is it possible to remotely connect to the server to perform admin commands on it. I know with the new server prog you can do admin_login, admin_setsetting, etc.. when you are connected to the server, but what about if your not connected to the server?
If i try to telnet or do a raw connection to a FC server with the game port, it doesn't work obviously. Are there any other ports that anyone knows of. Once i figure out how to connect to a query / remote then everything else is simple.
