Anthropology at UCLA
The UCLA Department of Anthropology has always taken a broad view of anthropology, maintaining both balance and integration among the four fields (archaeology, biological, sociocultural, and linguistic), which have traditionally characterized the discipline. Established in 1941, the department grew to prominence immediately after World War II and has consistently ranked among the top ten departments in the country, both for the distinction of its faculty and the quality of its teaching. Many faculty members actively engage in research and teaching in two or more fields, and many hold joint appointments in other departments and schools at UCLA. Indeed, Anthropology has ties with many other major departments in the university, offering a rich fare to graduate students.
Our faculty and students are dedicated to resolving fundamental questions that lie at the core of Anthropology as a field of intellectual inquiry. Their work encompasses such topics as the nature of evolutionary processes, human development, emotions and the mind, culture and communicative strategies, health and illness, the development of socio-political complexity across the historical and archeological record, and the impacts of differential access to power in the contemporary world. To that end, we conduct research in all parts of the world and engage in innovative collaborations that cross traditional sub-disciplinary and disciplinary boundaries.
Our doctoral program is one of the best in the country. The department was recently ranked 6th in the nation by the National Council on Research. Our faculty has earned international recognition including election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Their work is supported by grants and contracts from the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Geographic Society, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the W.T. Grant Foundation, among others. They have been honored with fellowships from all of the major foundations that support social science research including the MacArthur Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the Institute for Advanced Study, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the Max Planck Institute, as well as with a multitude of book prizes. Their teaching and mentoring have been rewarded with UCLA's Distinguished Teaching Award, many other campus teaching awards, and a host of national prizes.
The great variety and richness of the departmental curriculum may best be appreciated by looking at the four traditional fields of Anthropology.
The Four Fields Approach to Anthropology
Archaeology is the study of human cultures and the natural, social, ideological, economic, and political environments in which they operated in the recent and distant past. The graduate and undergraduate programs focus on methods of discovery (field and laboratory courses), strategies of analysis, and the hows and whys of long-term cultural evolution (theory, analytic, and topical courses). It also looks at the unfolding of prehistory in many regions of the world, including North America, Mesoamerica, South America, and several parts of the Old World (regional courses). Faculty members have long-standing interests in paleolithic populations and the origins and evolution of complexity, including the political organization of complex hunters/gatherers, the origins of early village life, the emergence and florescence of ancient states, and life in ancient cities. Faculty members maintain programs of field research, involving many students, in Canada, California, Tibet, Mongolia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, India and Mexico.
Archaeology faculty: Stephen Acabado, Jeanne Arnold, P. Jeffrey Brantingham, Richard Lesure, Li Min, Greg Schachner, Monica L. Smith, Charles Stanish
Biological Anthropology
Biological Anthropology is the study of humans and other primates from a Darwinian point of view. Our program focuses on the evolutionary ecology of early hominids, extant primates, and contemporary humans, and includes training in evolutionary theory, behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology, paleoanthropology, paleoecology, primate behavior, and biobehavioral studies of the physiological bases of primate social behavior. Faculty associated with the program have engaged in field work in Africa and Central America where ongoing projects include work on human behavioral ecology, human ethology, primate behavior, and hominid evolution. For more information on this program see the biological anthropology subfield website. Faculty in biological anthropology have close associations with the Department of Biology and the School of Medicine. Biological anthropologists are also active in the Center for the Study of Evolution and the Origin of Life (CSEOL) which sponsors interdisciplinary symposia and weekly seminars and offers graduate and senior fellowships.
Biological Anthropology faculty: H. Clark Barrett, Erica Cartmill, Daniel Fessler, Joseph Manson, Susan Perry, Brooke Scelza
Linguistic Anthropology
Linguistic Anthropology is an interdisciplinary field which addresses the manifold ways in which communication and culture mutually define one another in different communities worldwide. Linguistic anthropologists at UCLA have a variety of backgrounds and research interests which include the ethnography of face to face communication, language contact and language change, verbal art and performance, and language and education. Courses are offered in ethnographic approaches to discourse analysis, urban sociolinguistics, field methods and conversational analysis, as well as cross cultural pragmatics, including visual aspects of communication.Linguistic anthropology students at UCLA may also rely on faculty in other campus departments to provide a variety of courses on language structure and language use. In particular, linguistic anthropology faculty have close ties with faculty in Applied Linguistics, Linguistics, Sociology, and with the Interdepartmental Program in Communication Studies. In addition, the Center for Language, Interaction, and Culture (CLIC) offers workshops, seminars, and conferences where UCLA students and faculty can exchange ideas and research findings with their colleagues at other institutions in the US and abroad.The weekly Discourse Lab provides an opportunity to discuss current research by students, faculty, and visiting scholars.
Linguistic Anthropology faculty: Erica Cartmill, Alessandro Duranti, Marjorie Goodwin, Jennifer Jackson, Paul Kroskrity, Elinor Ochs
Sociocultural Anthropology
Sociocultural Anthropology deals with two different but closely intertwined aspects of the human scene: the structuring of social relationships through economic, political, kinship, and gender systems on the one hand, and the perceptions, attitudes, and sentiments which characterize the outlook of peoples on the other. Faculty and graduate students in the department conduct research on a wide range of theoretical questions about the workings of social and cultural systems by field research and comparative/historical analysis. Fieldwork—abroad or in the US alike—is considered an essential experience for all graduate students. Current faculty research projects are taking place across Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Middle East, North America, South America, and Europe. As a distinctive emphasis within Sociocultural Anthropology, the Program in Psychocultural Studies and Medical Anthropology is offered jointly with the Department of Psychiatry (School of Medicine). Faculty and graduate students affiliated with the program participate in the "Mind, Medicine, and Culture" (MMAC) interest group. Another interest group bringing Sociocultural faculty and graduate students together is "Culture, Power, and Social Change" (CPSC). As a forum to engage contemporary ethnographic research, CPSC explores issues of cultural production, links between political economy, power and culture, cultural constructions of ethnicity, gender, national and transnational identities, and the ways in which they impact social change in the world.
Sociocultural Anthropology faculty: Hannah Appel, Andrew Apter, Jessica Cattelino, Alan Fiske, Linda Garro, Akhil Gupta, Douglas Hollan, Christopher Kelty, Nancy Levine, Sherry Ortner, Kyeyoung Park, David Shorter, Susan Slyomovics, Mariko Tamanoi, Russell Thornton, C.

(LOS ANGELES) — Kristin Cavallari showed off her super trim post-baby body earlier this week and shared her secret of how she got back into shape so quickly: a healthful diet and no alcohol.
"I'm like a freak about eating healthy," the 26-year-old former Hills star told Us Weekly at the launch of her new jewelry collection for Glamboutique in Los Angeles. "I've always been a really healthy eater. I think when I got pregnant I took it up another notch, just because I was so aware of what I was putting in my body."
"I've just maintained that since I've had Cam," she continued. "And honestly, I rarely drink alcohol, which helps too. It's just empty calories."
Cavallari and fiance Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears quarterback, welcomed their first child, son Camden, in August 2012.
The new mom admits she doesn't completely deprive herself, giving into occasional sweets, and even fast food.
"I have a huge sweet tooth, but I'll get dark chocolate with caramel," she explained. "Or there's an ice cream at Whole Foods called Coconut Bliss, which is made out of coconut milk, and so, to me, that's not really cheating."
As for the fast food, she shared, "There's a place called Portillo's in Chicago, which is fast food [and] has the best burgers. So we've had that I think twice this year. But that's a lot of fast food for me in that short amount of time."

Martina McBride and Husband John Make Powerful Musical Connection
Martina McBride and her husband, John McBride, have been married 24 years and have three daughters. The couple's strong union is one for which both continue to be grateful. "I'm not a religious guy, but I always felt God put us together," John told The Boot. "It's crazy. I'd never had that feeling before. This girl, she's incredible and I love her more [now] than I ever have. I told her, 'If we could bottle what we have, we could retire, girl.' We're so lucky."
One of Martina's most popular songs in concert, the emotional ballad "I'm Gonna Love You Through It," features powerful lyrics about a woman facing cancer. But Martina often finds herself relating to another character in the song.
"When I sing the song and really connect with it, it is through the husband," the songstress told Taste of Country. "It's through that chorus that says 'When you're weak, I'll be strong.' I feel like that's such a powerful message and it's just something that I think is so beautiful."
Even though Martina often tackles songs with important social themes, such as "A Broken Wing" and "God's Will," she insists she doesn't seek them out just because of their subject matter. "I never ever go out looking for a specific kind of song or a specific issue," she notes. "I don't know why they find me."
The country superstar is using her voice to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research this fall, through the Save Lids to Save Lives program, sponsored by General Mills. "I like it because it's one I can do with my kids," she explains. "I think we all search for ways to be engaged and to give back and have little projects that they're a part of and this is a great way to make that online time something productive."
Save Lids to Save Lives allows consumers to donate 10 cents from each item with a pink lid to their local Susan G. Komen chapter. More information can be found here.
Martina will spend much of the next several months on the road. Her One Night tour wraps Nov. 8, and she'll embark on her Joy of Christmas tour two weeks later. In 2013, Martina will join George Strait on his final tour, dubbed the Cowboy Rides Away. The trek begins Jan. 18 in Lubbock, Texas. Keep track of Martina's tour schedule here.

Sagittarius Woman And Capricorn Man
Initially there could be some sparks in the relationship of Sagittarius woman and Capricorn man but long term relationship is a different proposition altogether. There are too many differences in their nature to make perfect match as she is too much independent and outgoing that makes the man insecure and his possessive attitude makes the woman shrink away. Capricorn man is very practical as well as wise and always aims and strives for high levels of success. But while dreaming he keeps his feet firmly grounded understanding the realities of life. He will always prefer the tried and true ones over any risky adventure. Sagittarius woman is honest but at times her words may have knife like effects though she does not mean to be crude. She is very independent and family is only a small part of her life.
Both experience high levels of differences when it comes to sexual compatibility since their likes and dislikes in love do not match at all. Of course with a little adjustment the relationship could still work but such instances are a rarity and not regularity. Trembling touches, magnetic curiosities, and powerful passion can still work for the duo and lovemaking, at least during the initial days could be exotic.

A nine-point review of 'Nine Lives'
Posted August 7, 2016
"NINE LIVES" — 1½ stars — Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Garner, Robbie Amell, Christopher Walken, Cheryl Hines, Mark Consuelos; PG (thematic elements, language and some rude humor); in general release
1. "Nine Lives" is the story of how a wealthy New York developer named Tom Brand (played by Kevin Spacey) gets stuck inside the body of a cat. When we meet Brand, he is a selfish egomaniac who is more interested in debating the height of his new office tower than taking calls from his wife or getting birthday presents for his daughter. But while dealing with his new (literal) shortcomings, Brand presumably will obtain a deeper appreciation for the truly important things in life.
2. "Nine Lives" is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the man behind Will Smith's "Men in Black" films, as well as the "Addams Family" movies in the early 1990s. His quirky, fantasy-style hand is apparent in "Nine Lives," which has the effect of elevating the film's mediocre material, but it also leaves you wishing he'd taken it further.
3. Brand's wife, Lara, is played by Jennifer Garner, who also got some experience with the well-worn identity-crisis genre in 2004's "13 Going on 30." Combined with her appearance in "Miracles from Heaven" earlier this year, she seems to be cutting a path into family-friendly filmmaking.
4. Cheryl Hines plays Madison, Brand's ex-wife and mother to his beleaguered son David (Robbie Amell). David works for Brand's company and is trying to fend off his co-worker's attempt to sell his father's business out from under him. But Hines is one of the few highlights of the film, somehow channeling the angst of her divorce into a nonchalant wit that further underscores how much of a pill Brand is.
5. Christopher Walken plays Felix Perkins, the pet shop owner/"cat whisperer" who is behind the movie's mysterious goings-on. Walken's quirky, creepy deadpan delivery always makes things better, even if he doesn't necessarily make them good.
6. The thrust of "Nine Lives" is the comic potential of listening to Kevin Spacey's voiceover while watching an often-CGI rendered cat perform various pratfalls. It rarely delivers. But what makes the effect strangely compelling is the decision to add random cat screeches to Spacey's dialogue.
7. "Nine Lives" is meant to blend a positive message with some zany cat antics, but a complicated plot about Brand's business bogs down the story so much that the little kids who would most appreciate the film will more likely be bored with it. (At least that's what I took from the small child who spent half the movie running around the theater laughing instead of watching anything on the screen.)
8. While the film is too sophisticated for young children, older audiences (both older children and adults) will likely dismiss it for being too juvenile. Sadly, "Nine Lives" lives in an unfortunate audience-free no man's land.
9. "Nine Lives" does harbor a sweet, family-friendly message, for what it's worth. It's extremely predictable, though, and far too much of a cliché to generate more than a mild reaction. With a little more from Sonnenfeld and Walken, "Nine Lives" might have been a fun sleeper; as is, it's forgettable.
"Nine Lives" is rated PG for thematic elements, language and some rude humor; running time: 87 minutes.

Friendly and helpful staff, room and bathroom facilities good for the price.
Car parking spaces busy if there is a function on and also there are insufficient blue badge disabled parking spaces near the entrance.. Be aware as 3 floors and hotel has no lift and only a stair lift to the first floor. Handy petrol station and adjoining Tesco Express nearby for convenience. Beds are good but a bit hard and would like a selection of softer pillows.

Welcome to the sensual world of This Man...
Young interior designer Ava O'Shea has no idea what awaits her at the Manor. A run-of-the-mill consultation with a stodgy country gent seems likely, but what Ava finds instead is Jesse Ward - a devastatingly handsome, utterly confident, pleasure-seeking playboy who knows no boundaries.
Ava doesn't want to be attracted to this man, and yet she can't control the overwhelming desire he stirs in her. She knows that her heart will never survive him and her instinct is telling her to run, but Jesse is not willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her.
Read by Edita Brychta.
©2013 Jodi Ellen Malpas (P)2013 Hachette Audio
"A porn story for bored housewives"
More concrete action, less detailed sex scenes, which constitutes major part of almost every chapter
Mrs Perfect meet Mr Perfect, characters not corresponding with reality
Absolutely not
"Steamy story laugh out loud moments"
This man is believable his flaws push her away, but he is like gravity she cant stay away !!! The london setting is great makes a change to have a sexy english bloke as the hot lead character. cant wait for "Beneath this man" so come on audible lets have it !!
Jessie he wont give up he wont compromise he knows they should be together and he is prepared to fight for it>
she made the story even better especially the gritty exchanges between Jesse and Ava her accent is modern posh british so when she swears its funny
I just want her to give him a second chance so bring on book 2
"Big no no"
deeper plot?more complicated
definetly not the second part of this one.
less predictible.
bad copy of 50 shades
"Brilliant start to a fantastic trilogy"
Yes I would- I had read the trilogy twice on my kindle before I listened to this audio version and I found that the narration added even more to my enjoyment of the trilogy
Impossible to pick between the two main characters. Both so well developed by the author that they enthral you, irritate you, annoy you and captivate you.
Too many to pick just one. I think Ava's total confusion over Jesse and her feelings for him
Avid Dove
"Edita did a good job but ....."
There was no storyline. Bought the whole series hoping it will get better. And also its toooo sweet, and when you have too many sweets you get a toothache.
"Erotic dialog not believable"
Erotic dialog not believable and accents ...received pronunciation being 'posh' Ava's voice is very irritating ...
Not sure which came first Crossfire series or 'this Man' but Crossfire storyline, background story and dialogue is far superior
Gave up after 4 hours... really wanted to like it but kept making me cringe and laugh
"loved it"
I've read book and never thought I would enjoy an audio version which is handy for when I'm in the car. The narrator was very good. Audio opened up a whole new reading world
"A Bit Boring"
I wouldn't listen to it again. The was not as good as the previous book I read by this author. The story was weak and lacked content. Lots of sex but no real back bone to it.
it has to be the two leads because there rant many people in it
it was all the same
"This man"
Loved this book, great characters and storyline looking forward to reading the next one in the trilogy would highly recommend
"Persevered for 7 hours and then gave up!"
This story has been done so many times before and unfortunately there was nothing new or original about this one, it was very repetitive "inner core" was repeated so many times it got annoying! Jessie just seemed like a stalker and it was not thrilling in any sense! The story just became irritating, was very unrealistic and after enduring 7 hours I refused to waste anymore time listening to it.
The voice's did not carry well and were just irritating which made it very hard to listen to from the outset.
Irritation! I tried really hard to get through it but it didn't get any better as the book went on.
Very disappointing and unhappy that I wasted my money on this.
"This Man - Book One in The This Man Trilogy"
He is very tall. His white shirt is casually rolled at the sleeves, but he still wears a black tie, loosely knotted and hanging down the front of a broad chest."
"His dirty blonde hair looks like he's half attempted to get it into some semblance of a style but given up. His eyes are sludgy green, but bright and way too intense, and the stubble covering his square jaw does nothing to conceal the handsome features beneath it. He's lightly tanned and just... Oh God, He's devastating."
Meet Jesse Ward ... The Lord of the Manor
This seductive, erotic, frustrating, flirty, dominating, mind blowing, body tingling story will make you wish Jesse Ward were real and not a fictional character. The first book in the This Man Trilogy introduces you to Ava an ambitious, young woman making her mark in the world of interior design. Just off of a bad break-up, Ava has decided to focus on her career and stay man free for a while. Enter Jesse Ward, the Lord of the Manor, who hires Ava to work on his hotel. To say that sparks fly would be an understatement. The electricity between Ava and Jesse explodes taking you on a ride that you never want to end.
"This man is so perfect, I'm almost in pain."
The character development in this book is spot on, and you can visualize all of the characters created within this story. Larger than life characters to the bit players within the story, there is no detail that has been left unturned. You will find characters you would love to be friends with, characters you love to hate and hate to love. Characters that frustrate you, confuse you, and turn you on and turn your world upside down.
With brilliant descriptions of the places within this story, you are provided with a perfect visual in your mind from the words provided by the author.
Explosive is the word that would best describe the physical relationship between Jesse and Ava. With a bit of creativity the author transports us into the hot, sensual, erotic, and dominating world that is Jesse Ward. Creatively unique, heart stopping, body tingling, and wanting are a few words that come to mind.
Jesse wants Ava. Ava can't resist Jesse. There are secrets that need to be told. There are twists and turns that will have you reading faster than your eyes can move. This story tempts, teases, and makes you want for more. I guarantee that once you finish book one, you will not be able to download book two fast enough.
To uncover the secrets yet to be revealed, to entice your body and mind into the heart stopping allure of Jesse Ward, and to find out how Ava deals with all she has been dealt, don't miss the second and third book is this amazing story.
Edita Brychta was outstanding with the delivery of the story
"Love! Love! Love! this series."
Crazy Mad God
Both Jesse and Ava - Maybe Jesse just that little bit more. He is so passionate, sexy and just so unrelenting countdowns and all. 3 2 1 0
I have seen her in many television programs. This is my first Audio book with her narration and I thought she was bloody brilliant. "MOUTH" Ava ...hahahah....
I wish I could have but I never would have that sort of time.
I have read this series 3 times before and have been waiting for a long while for its release down here in Australia. I must have missed it when it was first released and found it by accident so I purchased all 3. Jodie is a great author and hopefully her next series will be just as good if not better!. Jesse will always rate in my top 5. <3 <3 <3
This book left me wanting more can't wait wait to read the next and then the one after that great
"No. Best for Insomniacs"
A better narrator and oh, a better story.
It was boring. How it goes for 17 hours is completely beyond me as I didn't get past the 8th. I do hope another reviewer who liked this book can tell me what happened at the end.
The Man.
I know its different strokes for different folks (pun intended). But this seemed like a poor and very tired persons version of the SOG trilogy.

Fire burns potato warehouse near Perham
PERHAM, Minn. -- Fire crews were battling a blaze Tuesday evening at an R.D. Offutt Co. potato warehouse near Perham.
A Perham police officer on the scene said the fire was called in about 4:20 p.m. Witnesses said the fire originated in the south part of the building and spread north.
As of 7:30 p.m., at least 10 area fire departments were assisting at the scene, and the south-facing exterior wall of the building had collapsed.
At least two semi trucks were seen inside the building, engulfed in flames. An unknown amount of potatoes and other contents were also inside.
The building is just west of Perham, on Otter Tail County Highway 80.
According to a news release from the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office, an R.D. Offutt employee reported the fire after noticing smoke coming from the large warehouse.
A Perham police officer at the scene said he did not believe anyone had been injured, but he could not immediately confirm that.
Roads around the area had been blocked off due to the emergency response, but traffic controllers began letting vehicles through later in the evening.
The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation.
Ron Offutt is the founder and chairman of R.D. Offutt Co., the nation's largest potato producer. The company's corporate headquarters is in Fargo.

Self Caring
What Comes First When EVERYTHING's a Priority?
Last updated: Apr 21, 2010
I'm in one of those patches any caregiver knows well: Too many competing demands on my time and attention all at once. I feel like I'm not serving anyone really well, even with my usual "support system" of helping hands, listening ears, and red wine. In my case, the week's overload involved a needy child, an urgent deadline, a crashed laptop, a divorce settlement, the possibility of a moved-up house closing date and searching for a new home -- layered like not-so-sweet baklava all in one week -- followed by the topper, a beloved mother-in-law dying at 94. (Not a surprise, yet a sting.)
Tilt! Tilt!
A friend going through a similar week nailed it: "How do we prioritize when all the priorities seem equally important?"
One process:
1. First, sort. Which thing(s) MUST be taken care of immediately, this day, or this week? Usually when you stop and really examine each competing priority, some are more "code red" than others on that particular day.
2. Put off. Important things that fall lower on the most-urgent list -- even if they're incredibly important -- must get postponed. So a small example in my case, no bills are being paid early this week, any non-urgent medical appointments postponed, "hanging out" time with family trimmed.
3. Fight the fires. Forget trying to multi-task 24/7. Devote some concentrated time to what you've sorted out as most-urgent that day. You drop everything for a health crisis. Or maybe you help your parent or spouse untangle a mounting insurance issue. Or you finish your work report. Simply putting your mental energy to just one thing at a time makes you more attentive and therefore productive. The downside: Other stuff stacks up. See the next point.
4. Cut yourself lots of slack. Even if you tackle it all fire-by-fire, you'll still feel nagged by not living up to everything as well as you'd like. But hey, in a perfect storm of crises, just getting through is admirable.
5. But also realize this: You're not a professional firefighter. By that I mean that while caregivers battle many blazes constantly, between eldercare and other competing needs (family, self, job), a week like mine -- where each urgent matter is in its own white-hot, super-needy mode at the same time -- should be relatively unusual. Those weeks stink, but they happen. They're quirks. If multi-system chronic-crisis is your everyday life, every week, however, that's a red warning flare. Without more help and fewer burdens, you'll soon crash and burn. (As in [burnout] (https://www.caring.com/caregiver-stress).)
"We live in ages and stages," my late mother-in-law was fond of saying. And for those in the caregiving-sandwich stage, it's a challenge not to turn into pulled pork on burned(out) toast.
How do you decide which competing priority to focus on first? I really want to know. Especially this week....

Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas gives game ball to mother
Following the Denver Broncos' 23–16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, receiver Demaryius Thomas had the opportunity to give the game ball to his mother.
Sunday's divisional round game was the first time in Thomas's career that his mother, Katina Smith, was in the stands to watch him play a football game.
Smith was jailed for narcotics trafficking when Thomas was 11 years old, and was released in November as part of a group of 46 nonviolent drug offenders whose sentences were commuted by President Obama.
"It's very special," Thomas said, according to ESPN. "She came out, got to see us win a game, her first time here, her first time seeing me play. It felt great, a really special feeling."
• Report: Panthers DE Jared Allen likely out for rest of playoffs with foot injury
Thomas had four catches for 40 yards during the game, but the chance to honor his mother overshadowed his performance on the field.
"My mom is right outside that door," he said to media members who were peppering him with questions after the game. "Y'all are killing me."

First time to post over here or even read. Good heavens, I'm really missing out!!!!
Sorry to just jump right in like this but could really use some sage advice.
I have an amazing 13 year old. She tries so hard in so many ways. But in this particular area, she just isnt good yet.
She's going to be 14 next month and prior to now, I havent really cared terribly much. We had other things to focus on. But I feel now that it's really important that she learns to listen.
Some of it is a prideful attitude of "I know what I'm doing and no one can tell me". While some of it is just plain not listening. And I can't always discern the two.
An example, so everyone knows what I'm talking about:
This afternoon I told her to get my phone out of the school room and plug it in in my room, behind the door. I came upstairs and it wasnt here. She plugged it in downstairs. That was not listening. Plain and simple. Not disobedience at all. Just not listening.
And I dont really know how to help her.
She has younger siblings so it seems a little demeaning to make her stand there and repeat the instructions I've given her. I make them do that. You know?
Anyway, anyone else dealing with similar issues and what has worked and what hasnt. Feel free to recommend a book. I love to read!
I read somewhere that really close listening
does the same sort of things to the brain that
meditation does. Listening is so basic to living
well with other humans that I don't think it's
possible to spend to much time developing it.
That said, Teenagers act a bit like spouses I think.
They tend to minimize their listening to (while thinking
about something else) just down to the point where
you can't tell they're not really paying attention. I
used to think this was all the teenager's doing but
found that I was at least sometimes part of the
problem because I'm busy and sort of let it loose
while I'm doing two other things with the whole
thing done without eye contact.
So I'm trying to be a better communicator by focusing
on teenager while speaking to her and modelling some
good listening as well. Teens are excellent at spotting
inconsistencies so I try to be very attentive when they
speak. One mistake in listening on my part and I'm not
worth listening to for weeks.
I try saying something like, "Are we cool?" or "Got that?"
with a questioning look on my face after asking for
something and respond with a "Good" when they affirm
they at least understood something.
You could test her or play with her by making requests
that require more information such that what you request,
if she's listening, requires her to ask a question. A request
like, "Could you please bring me my sweater?" which
requires her to ask, "Which shoes?" possibly with an
exhausted what's up with Mom look. Probaly a poor
example but best I can come up with now and she might
just hate the whole thing but she might get you're tinkering
with your dialog with her and she might raise her listening.
Maybe if she doesn't like the requests that require a
question deal you could adjust the whole level of listening
by asking questions which require perceptive listening.
We all, I think, want to be understood and wish perhaps that
people knew what was happening to us or what we wanted
or what was bothering us without the necessity of speaking
it. In a quiet moment look into her eyes (maybe a few times
a week) and ask her, "What do you sense I'm feeling right
now?" or maybe not so intense, "What am I thinking?" or
something like that that causes her to look closely at your
face, to listen very carefully to your voice as you speak
that calls on her to think about what your day's been like,
what's happened recently and all she can bring to bear to
"hear" you. I'd watch her carefully for a few days before trying
this trying to catch every little thing about her so that if she
asks you the same question(s) you might not be right but
you can tell her what you've heard.

for our children." ~ Tatanka Iotanka

"In principle the 2011 FIM World Championships events in Japan will be taking place as scheduled"

The FIM will announce its final decision, regarding the future of the 2011 Japanese MotoGP at Motegi, during next weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.
The Japanese round was moved from April 24 to October 2 as a result of the devastation caused by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear catastrophes.
Physical damage to the track seems to have been repaired, but there are concerns in the paddock - including among some high profile riders - about the risk of nuclear contamination.
Motegi is around 100 kilometres from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant.
The FIM statement read:
"The FIM Board of Directors will assess the situation prevailing in Japan during its meeting in Geneva next week-end. Furthermore, talks will be held next week at the FIM Headquarters with representatives from the Motorcycle Federation of Japan.
"In principle, Suzuka and Motegi circuits being situated outside the exclusion and evacuation zones, and based on the information provided by an independent report, a number of agencies including several governments, the World Health Organisation and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the 2011 FIM World Championships events in Japan (QTEL FIM Endurance World Championship, SPEA FIM Trial World Championship and FIM World Championship Grand Prix) will be taking place as scheduled.
"A final announcement will be made by the FIM President during the MotoGP in Mugello."

Parkland Memorial Hospital announced Monday that another set of quintuplets has been born at the Dallas County facility.
The June 17 multiple birth marked the third set of quints born at Parkland in the hospital's 120-year history. The first set was delivered on July 18, 1975, and the second arrived on June 8, 1998.
Yesterday, Parkland released the following press release about the latest five-some delivery:
DALLAS – In a matter of four minutes, between 9:13 and 9:17 a.m. on June 17, the Clark family grew from two to seven, when Opalyn ("Ofa") Santos-Clark, 30, and her husband Rex K. Clark, 27,welcomed three girls and two boys, joining an elite group of parents of quintuplets.
Known as one of the nation's leading birth centers, Parkland Memorial Hospital also regards the event as a milestone, marking the delivery of its third set of quintuplets. The last quintuplets at Parkland were born in June 1998.
For the happy parents, whose infants are all doing well in Parkland's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), it was an overwhelming but long-anticipated event. Santos-Clark spent eight weeks as an inpatient in the antepartum unit of Parkland while physicians supervised her care and prepared for every eventuality to assure as safe a delivery as possible.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the 4 million babies born in the U.S. in 2012, the number of quintuplet, sextuplet and other higher order of births in the U.S. was 45, compared to 131,269 twin births, 4,919 triplet and 276 quadruplet births that year. There is approximately a 0.005 percent chance of giving birth to quintuplets.
Planning among the multidisciplinary care team at Parkland for the quints' arrival began in April. Meetings were held to discuss which operating rooms and delivery rooms would be utilized. On-call lists were established for nursing, physicians, pharmacy and radiology. The care teams for each infant were identified on the day of delivery and wore the corresponding letters (A through E) to the infant they were assigned to.
"Preparation was crucial to make sure we were ready round-the-clock at a moment's notice for the arrival of five premature infants," said Myra Wyckoff, MD, neonatologist and Director of Newborn Resuscitation Services at Parkland and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "We practiced and tested everything to ensure that we had the personnel, equipment, supplies and space for all five babies."
Coincidentally, Dr. Wyckoff was a resident at Parkland in 1998 when the last quintuplets were born at the facility.
A team of UT Southwestern obstetricians who work at Parkland supervised the high-risk pregnancy and carefully monitored the mother. Their goal was to bring the babies as close to full-term as possible.
The staff's fine-tuned preparations paid off when Santos-Clark's water broke around 5 a.m. on June 17 and the medical team swung into action.
Father-to-be Rex Clark posted a hasty but excited message on Facebook: "We have babies on the way!! It is also our anniversary today! Send your thoughts, prayers and good energy our way!"
At 9:13 a.m., the first infant (Baby A) was born and her siblings followed at one-minute intervals until 9:17 when Baby E completed the family. Each infant was immediately surrounded by its own team of Parkland specialists – neonatologist, neonatal nurse practitioner, neonatal nurses and NICU respiratory therapist– standing by with warmers, oxygen and other needed equipment.
Born via Cesarean section, each infant had the typical resuscitation for 31-week gestation and all babies were placed on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the delivery room to aid with breathing.
The quintuplet's names, gender and birth weights:
Baby A is a girl- Vianca Quing, 1310 grams, 2 pounds 14 ounces
Baby B is a girl- Alessandra Roxy, 850 grams, 1 pound 12 ounces
Baby C is a boy – Perrin Rex, 1050 grams, 2 pounds 5 ounces
Baby D is a boy- Noah Steve, 1010 grams, 2 pounds 4 ounces
Baby E is a girl- Scarlett Jessie, 1330 grams, 2 pounds 15 ounces
Although she is the smallest, little Alessandra Roxy is the "feistiest" of the quints and doesn't hesitate to make her needs known with insistent cries, Parkland NICU nurses reported. So far, only one unexpected health condition has arisen.
According to Mambarambath A. Jaleel, MD, Medical Director of Parkland's Neonatal ICU and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern, "On June 24, a congenital abnormality, malformed bowel, was discovered in Baby Boy C, Perrin Rex, that required surgery that night. He is recovering well from the surgery to repair the condition. The quintuplets are now 14 days old and doing well and gaining weight. All five have had CPAP removed; one is receiving oxygen via a nasal cannula and four are breathing room air."
In praise of the care team, Dr. Jaleel said, "It took the incredible skill and dedicated efforts of staff from multiple disciplines to make the quintuplet delivery a smooth and well-orchestrated process. Their hard work makes me proud to be a part of this wonderful team."
Still recovering from the C-section delivery, Santos-Clark said, "We are happy, grateful and relieved. The birth of our quints wouldn't be possible without all the help of our doctors and the nurses, especially the Parkland NICU team. Thank you! Our babies are in such good hands until we can bring them home."
"It's too soon to predict when that may be," Jennifer Hill, RN, Director of Nursing, Neonatal ICU at Parkland, said. "Typically, if there have not been any complications, we tell parents to expect the babies to be in the NICU until their due date." The Clark quintuplets due date, had they reached full-term, would have been August 19.
Married in 2012, the Clarks say they dreamed of someday having four kids. But, added Santos-Clark, "We never thought we would have five – and all at the same time!"
When just seven weeks pregnant, the couple were told they were expecting quadruplets, but a sonogram at 16 weeks detected a fifth fetus.
"We were shocked," said Santos-Clark. "I thought, 'five babies, how can I handle this?' I was scared, for myself and my babies."
But as she read and researched more about quintuplets, Santos-Clark said she gained confidence, especially after meeting other mothers of quintuplets. For the new parents of five, the fears surrounding the high-risk pregnancy and childbirth are melting away as they face the challenges of caring for and raising quintuplets.
"We will just take it a day at time," the new mother said with a smile.
"We feel very blessed by the great care provided at Parkland," her husband said. "But we're still amazed to be the parents of five. It's just beginning to sink in."

As any casual visitor to this internet outpost may have noticed, we're kind of huge fans of FX and the network's programming. Additionally, casual visitors to this internet outpost may notice that we're also kind of huge fans of Dave Grohl. So, needless to say, today's news that FX and Dave Grohl are teaming up to make a "rock band comedy" show has us feeling, well, HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!
Via that crazy "Toldja!" broad:
FX is developing a half-hour comedy created by and starring comedian Dana Gould and executive produced by Foo Fighters' lead vocalist/songwriter Dave Grohl. Gould is writing/executive the project, which centers on a rock band on the verge of mega-stardom who finds itself on the verge of breaking up and is forced to seek professional help in a last-ditch effort to stay together. Unfortunately, they end up with a misanthropic couple's therapist from Agoura on the brink of divorce. Gould, a fan of Grohl's music, approached him about joining the project. Grohl has a reputation of being one of the funniest rock stars who is friends with a lot of comedians.
In addition to having comedic sensibilities, Dave Grohl makes perfect sense for such a project because, as our pal Josh over at Warming Glow noted, "what would Grohl know about a band collapsing under the crushing pressure of fame?" Cue the inevitable lawsuit from Courtney Love looking to cash in on any and all parallels to Nirvana in the show in 3…2…1.
While not much else is known about the show at this point, I think it's safe to make one assumption: It will be nothing like Glee.

Oaklee Sidwell
Panguitch, Utah
Our sweet Oaklee Lynn Sidwell, 9, left us on August 14, 2013 in Salt Lake City, after a tragic accident. She was surrounded by all of her loving family as she went back into the arms of her Heavenly Father. She was born July 11, 2004 in Panguitch to Tracy and Desiree Griffin Sidwell, the sister of Tyler and Jordan Sidwell.
Oaklee was here with us for nine wonderful years and was so full of life. She lived it to the fullest and shared her happiness with everyone around her. She loved to do so many things: riding motorcycles, fishing, camping, hunting, frog hunting, shooting her BB gun, soccer, baseball, basketball, swimming, playing with all her cousins and friends, sheep riding, riding horses, farming, to shopping trips with her mom. Any time spent with her family and friends was important to her. She always wanted to help with everything. She was the mommy to all the little kids around her, and her daddy's partner while she helped him work in the shop. The list could go on forever because she enjoyed life everyday and everyone around her was a part of that. She brought a special spirit with her wherever she went and impacted so many peoples lives in the short time she was with us.
Oaklee also had a great love for animals. She started out bottle feeding lambs and calves. From there her motherly instinct grew and she took in many more animals. When you came to her house you could see how much she loved animals with cats, dogs, rabbit, fish, guinea pig, parrot, horses, sheep, and cows. Her newest pet was her baby Jack rabbit she fed with a syringe that the dog brought to her. She would take any animal in and make sure it was taken care of. She pretty much had her own petting zoo.
Oaklee you will be missed, but we know you will always be watching over us and be our precious Angel.
She is survived by her parents; brothers; grandparents: Don Bridges, Russell and Annette Bridges, Mary Lynn Sidwell; great-grandparents: Yukon Norman, LaMar Jolley, Joyce Jolley, Darlene Reynolds; many aunts, uncles and cousins whom she loved very much.
She is proceeded in death by: grandfathers: Randy Griffin, Larry John Norman, and Richard Sidwell; and great-grandma, Lucille Bridges. She has many more loved ones surrounding her in heaven.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch Stake Center, 550 South 100 West. Friends may call at the stake center Friday from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.

So I have now joined Johannes as a co-RM for PHP 5.3. Its quite an honor and a challenge. Especially since I still need to find enough OSS time to continue to work on emPHPower and write out a proper proposal for a "constitution" (expect a mailinglist to be setup soon). We hope together we have enough brain cycles to push put what is probably the biggest minor release in the history of PHP. Just take a look at the todo list and the scratchpad detailing all the additions. Speaking of the scratchpad, we really really really need more people helping to identify the changes in PHP 5.3.
Scavenge the NEWS file, test your apps against current 5.3 CVS. Do whatever it takes to find all the places where PHP 5.3 adds functionality and more importantly where it breaks existing functionality. Let the php-doc team know your findings, post comments on this blog, send me an email or write them directly into the wiki page. If you have a cvs.php.net account, you are already setup. If not then just register yourself and I will grant the necessary permissions. Please please .. help out in this critical effort. Together we can make sure that everybody has all the information to make a painless transition to this feature filed release.
Good luck Lukas!
I'm really excited about the 5.3 release. With all the new goodies I feel like it deserves a major release version.. (but yea, politics, i get it)
When is scheduled the release of this version?
You are a thoughtful and benevolent leader so this is great news for all users and developers of PHP. Thank you for being so dedicated and feel free to modify your IRC quit/away message... ;)

Patna, Nov 23 (UNI) The Bihar Government today sounded a red alert across the state following serial blasts in Uttar Pradesh and recovery of a huge cache of explosives from a Maoist hideout here.
ADG (Law and Order) Anil Sinha told UNI here, all the Police Superintendents had been directed to keep a close watch because of the state's close proximity to UP on one side and Nepal on the other.
He said all police stations of the state had been directed to remain extra alert and asked to keep a close vigil on the movement of suspected persons round the clock under their jurisdiction.
Mr Sinha further said, special attention had been accorded in the Maoist-dominated areas following last night's recovery of explosives from here and arrest of two hardcore extremists.
He, however, refused to divulge the details of the action plan, prepared by police to counter the Maoist activities, saying it would be improper to reveal the strategies in view of the sensitivity of the matter.
Mr Sinha said the SSB entrusted with the responsibility of the security along Indo-Nepal international border had been tipped off and special attention was being given in the border areas suspecting infilteraton of Maoists through the borders.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by andtapes, Jun 24, 2004.
The string broke on top of the frame.
Was it my fault or a miss hit of the player?
The string could have been damaged during the stringing process (perhaps clamps too tight?), but my guess it is something else. Two other things could do this: some frames tend to snap strings near the frame like Prince More Performance series rackets, or it could just have been a bad mis-hit that just torqued the strings wrong.
All of the force of the shot is concentrated on a short piece of string when a ball is hit hard near the outside of the frame. This is exaserbated even further on stiff widebody frames. If this is a chronic problem, sometimes it helps to tube the center 8 main grommet holes at the top.
The other possibility is that the string was damaged at the very top of the frame. Some bumpers are quite shallow, and the string protrudes beyond the protected portion, and can easily get scraped and damaged when going down for low shots. Other bumpers are OK when they start out, but wear away and thin out over time, with the same potential result as I mentioned above.
Because the string would be damaged in this way, it would be thinner, and thus have significantly less strength - which, of course, can lead to breaking.
When the racquet is freshly strung, check to see if the strings at the top touch the floor if you place the racquet top down on the floor.
Of course, the other scenarios mentioned above are realistic possibilities, as well.

Council, mayor pay to increase next term
Perham city councilors have approved a small increase in the salaries of council members and the mayor, effective after the next general election on Nov. 4.
The increase is intended to help Perham's elected officials pay for an iPad, laptop or other computerized device on which to receive and read council packets and other documents and information related to their work for the city.
Currently, such devices are provided to the council and mayor, and are city-owned. City Manager Kelcey Klemm said that often raises the issue of "what happens to it" after an official is done with his or her term. It also clears up any confusion over what is open to the public eye on the devices, and what is considered private.
"A lot of other cities have adopted this same thing," said Klemm of the change in pay. "Now's the time to bring it up, before the next general election."
The pay is increasing by $300 per year for the mayor, from $4,200 per year to $4,500 per year. Over a two-year term, this means an increase of $600.
For councilors, the pay is going up $800 over a four-year term, from $3,300 per year to $3,500 per year.
The increase was approved on Monday, at the council's regular monthly meeting.
The last time salaries were increased for councilors and the mayor was in September 2006.
