From the LumiA?res to the Present Day: Joris Faucon Grimaud's moving cinematic history montage
Earlier this year, to mark the 120th anniversary of the invention of cinema celebrated on March 19, French film student Joris Faucon Grimaud revealed a supercut montage he'd created of some of his favorite moments from 300 films spanning 120 years in cinema history (1895-2015), and the whole thing takes just seven minutes.
It did, however, take him 30 hours to complete, and results are simply stunning. Clint Mansell's "Death is The Road to Awe," from the soundtrack to Darren Aranofsky's The Fountain, accompanies the unfolding images — beginning with footage by the LumiA?re brothers on March 19, 1895.
That's right: Auguste and Louis LumiA?re made cinema history when they filmed workers leaving their photographic equipment factory in Lyons, France, using their newly patented cinematograph. The footage — consisting of grainy images of women in long skirts, a man on a bicycle, and a horse and carriage passing through the factory gate — is considered to be the first ever motion picture, although in truth other works predate it. A short time later, in December 1895, a series of public screenings in Le Salon Indien du Grand CafAi?? in Paris, organised by the LumiA?res, marked the birth of one of the most cinephile nations on the planet.
But hey, let's don't get caught up too much in who gets credit for making the first film, and let's all just sit back instead and admire another passionate French film lover sharing his love for the cinema!

No law allowing assisted dying could fully protect the vulnerable
She says it should not be beyond our wit to devise a law that would prevent abuse - but it is beyond our wit. Whatever we believe, our choices do have an impact on others.
It will always be the weak and vulnerable who suffer. It's not the numbers involved, but the principle. I do not pretend palliative care has all the answers, but the cost of this option is too great to give it legal precedence. Too many vulnerable people would die.
From Dr Naomi Beer, Stepney, East London

1930's Baldwin "M" 5'1″ baby grand; Beloved by jazz musicians and the featured piano of the Cotton Club, [and later, Liberace] Baldwins were noted for their power and the crystalline brilliance of their treble. This little grand had been a speakeasy piano in its earliest years, and I rescued it from filth and a hideous "antiqueing" job. Now it's been completely rebuilt with a new pinblock and strings, and a set of new keys and Abel hammers. It's ready to reward anyone who would play it with an absolutely spectacular sound, the kind of tone that modern Asian pianos have no clue from. The case has been resprayed black, and has a respectable appearance [plus a bench] but will never win any beauty awards.
It's all about the sound !!! Come try it . Asking $4500

Common Heath
Many plants are suffering from the latest long, dry period. Epacris impressa, one our our most common shrubs, is flowering, but sparsely.
Family: Ericaceae
Stealing nectar
The long, tubular flowers of Epacris exclude many nectar feeders ... unless someone creates a shortcut! This Hypocysta metirius butterfly is taking advantage of a tear in the flower to gain access to the nectar.
Salt-and-Pepper Moth
For several days this week, these colourful moths were everywhere. Yet today, I didn't find a single one.
Utetheisa pulchelloides
Order: Lepidoptera; Family: Erebidae
They look white in flight, their colours only evident when they land. These colours are a warning signal to predators ... they apparently taste bad.
Sedge Moth
This species is rather special. There are very few records in the national biodiversity database (ALA) - yet there are many of these beautiful, tiny moths here in the forest this week.
Glyphipterix gemmipunctella
Order: Lepidoptera; Family: Glyphipterigidae
The first, and only, mating pair I've seen!
unfamiliar moth
This fluffy white moth is a new one for our list ... although we're not sure what to call him/her yet.
Trichiocercus sparshalli (?)
Order: Lepidoptera
another unfamiliar moth
This tiny moth with lovely green eyes is another new one for the home list.
The fantastic structure of a Banksia flower. See Paul's earlier post for a full account of how Banksia flowers develop.
Banksia spinulosa
Family: Proteaceae
An unusual find - a winged (alate) female. This is the second ant species we've seen in the last month with wings - the Black Tyrant Ant (Iridomyrmex rufoniger) is the other.
Myrmecia forficata
Order: Hymenoptera; Family: Formicidae
Paul spent many hours reviewing the literature on the identification of this genus ... only to conclude that it is indeed the species we originally thought.
Tiny parasitoid wasp
Butterfly eggs, a tiny wasp, and a microscope ... that describes much of Paul's week. This wasp is just 3/4mm long! See Paul's latest blog, titled Reproduction: Russian doll style
Order: Hymenoptera; Family: Scelionidae
Mating grasshoppers
See last week's post for more about these grasshoppers.
Caledia captiva
Order: Orthoptera; Family: Acrididae
Still here, and still feeding!
Spotted Button Beetle
Paropsis maculata
Order: Coleoptera; Family: Chrysomelidae
Robber Fly
A species that is quite familiar to us.
Order: Diptera; Family: Asilidae
Garden Soldier Fly
And a large, rather wasp-like fly we've only seen a couple of times before.
Exaireta spinigera
Order: Diptera; Family: Stratiomyidae
Native Bee
Exoneura sp., and the subject of a post this week.
Order: Hymenoptera; Family: Apidae

With new management in place, there's a lot of action underway at Yahoo! these days. The clock is running on Jerry Yang's new 100-day action plan.
Not sure if corporate communications is part of the plan, but Yahoo! surely needs to improve its image and could be making some progress by landing Ruth Sarfaty as Vice President of Corporate Communications for the Advertiser/Publisher group.
Ruth recently left AOL where she headed up PR for the media and entertainment group. Ruth's one of the most accomplished public relations professionals I know. I had the pleasure to work with her when we were both at Howard J. Rubenstein Associates. Later, Ruth retained my firm for PR services for AOL.
Ruth will be based in New York and will commute monthly to Sunnyvale.
Good luck, Ruth!
Here are some PR pros to know

How do you make a rough outline turn into an interesting story? The same way you turn a flat circle into a 3-D sphere.
But how? Well, there is one key element in drawing that really helps something pop off the page, and that is shading. It is a simple concept. You just have to mimic the way light reflects and reacts in real life. But it's not always as easy as it sounds. It takes a considerable amount of practice to know where to shade, where to leave light, and how to make it all come together.
I'd say this is very similar to writing. You start with an outline or idea, (similar to starting out with a our flat circle) then add characters, dialog, scene, maybe some plot twists, and there's your story! But just as the artist knows it's not that easy to pull out a well drawn sphere, the writer knows it takes a lot of work and practice to write a well done, engaging story.
But what is it about shading that really makes the picture pop out? I'd say it's the contrast, which is another big part in drawing, and goes hand-in-hand with shading.
Just as stories are nothing without conflict, drawings would be nothing without contrast. It's that difference between the deep shadows on the sphere and the stark whiteness of the page that make the sphere come alive.
Contrast is not the same as conflict, but it is very similar and can also lead to conflict. You can add contrast to your characters. Real people are layered and often have sides of themselves they do not show. You can do the same for your characters. You can add contrast.
So what does contrast look like in writing? Contrast can be just about anywhere. One of the obvious ways to have contrast, is between your protagonist and antagonist.Whether in their points of views, their personality, or some other way.
You can put contrast between two characters, either friends or enemies. Or put contrast in just one character. No one acts the same all the time, so if an unexpected side of them comes out in a stressful moment, it can help add depth or be used to advance the story.
Contrast can be put in scenery as well. You could use it in the scenery itself, like a lone evergreen in the midst of a dead wood. Or it might be fun to have the contrast between the scenery and something else, like a character being unusually happy on a rainy day.
One other place contrast can be used is throughout the story itself. Having high and low moments that really standout from each other is a way to use contrast that can break up any monotony a story may be collecting. Your character is on a journey, don't make that journey easy, otherwise it gets boring.
With all that in mind, however you use contrast, use it to deepen and further your story. Just as the artist enhances a circle, into a sphere.

City eyeing ban on Dumpster diving
People caught digging through garbage cans could face a $500 citation and time in jail if the Modesto City Council on Tuesday passes a proposal to ban Dumpster diving.
Police had a hand in writing the ordinance, which they say would give officers the authority to search Dumpster divers for signs of attempting to commit identity theft.
Officers last month also said the ordinance would rein in public health risks from garbage strewn about on streets.
The proposed ordinance says "there is an increasing problem both nationally and locally involving persons who forage waste containers." It does not quantify complaints from residents, but says the Police Department frequently receives calls about Dumpster divers.
The measure faces strong opposition from Councilman Will O'Bryant, who said it's unrealistic to expect police to respond to calls of Dumpster diving and unreasonable to issue $500 citations to the homeless.
"This is the greatest country in the world," O'Bryant said. "It's a free country, but do we want to make criminals out of people who are so poor that they're going through another man's garbage?"
Councilwoman Kristin Olsen supports the measure. Her husband, Rod, was a victim of identity theft after he said someone rifled through a commercial Dumpster and obtained financial information he left with a Modesto brokerage firm.
In other business, the council is expected to vote on an ordinance that would increase penalties for people drinking alcohol in city parks without a permit.
That offense now is an infraction that can be resolved by paying a fine.
The Modesto Police Department wants the city to stiffen that penalty by making the offense a misdemeanor, which would allow police to arrest obstinate drinkers who do not respond to fines and requests to leave parks.
O'Bryant opposes that proposal, too. "You don't pass laws because you can," he said.

Jessica Alba is on the cover of Natural Health this month! Learn how she balances work and family and her best tips for staying healthy—and happy.
It's 10:30 a.m. on a Wednesday when Jessica Alba, an iPad in one hand and an espresso with almond milk in the other, strides into the reception area of The Honest Company to welcome me. The sight of the 33-yearold actress—casually chic in a J.Crew cardigan, silk camisole, maxi skirt and Jenni Kayne flats—in the lobby of the business she founded is startling. Not only because she's stunning, even by movie-star standards, but because I'm used to being greeted by an assistant to the boss—not the boss herself.
But Alba, who proceeds to give me a tour of her company's sun-streamed headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., seems to delight in the unexpected. Take her poppy-pink tanker desk that sits democratically in the midst of other employees'— and which, a bargain-loving Alba proudly reports, she found on Craigslist. Or her career path from famously fit Hollywood A-lister to ecoconscious domestic goddess, thanks to the lifestyle brand she co-founded nearly three years ago. The Honest Company, which specializes in nontoxic household, baby and beauty products, is now valued at nearly $1 billion. Yes, billion. "It's beyond my wildest dreams," Alba says. "We struck a convenience, standards and values chord." And she's just getting started. "I'd like to build this so that we're a multi-billion-dollar company," she says.
If anyone can do it, it's Alba, who impressively balances myriad roles—movie star, mogul, mother (to daughters Honor, 6, and Haven, 3), wife (to producer Cash Warren), style icon, healthy-living advocate and even Honest Company greeter—with grace. Though not, she's quick to point out, with ease. "I don't have it all figured out," she insists, reporting that her jam-packed schedule has both prevented her from working out in two months and left her feeling "a lot of mom guilt." Settling into an office sofa, she notes, "You just have to try and do the best you can in every moment."
As Alba looks ahead to a new year that promises to be even busier than the last, she points out there's no better time to commit to making a good life great: "January 1 offers you a reset button." Here, Alba shares the credos that help her pull it all off—and opens up about the late nights, unread emails and gym absenteeism that come with a bold, brimming life.
1. Eat Well—But Remember to Treat Yourself
Raised in a Southern California suburb dominated by chain restaurants, where "everything is canned and fried and sort of ends up tasting the same," Alba, who was often sick as a child, decided to seek out healthier options early. "I became a vegetarian when I was 12, then stopped when I was 16," she says. "But that four-year period was interesting, because it opened up a whole new world of fresh produce and alternative protein sources."
These days, Alba doesn't adhere to any specific regimen ("I think diets are boring"), other than opting to eat a variety of lean proteins and fresh fruits and vegetables. A typical breakfast is half a banana with brown-rice cereal and almond milk, and lunch is usually a salad chock-full of whole grains and nuts or pumpkin seeds "so it's not just leaves; it feels hearty." For dinner, she whips up meals that are "as fresh and organic as possible" for her family. Among her kid- (and husband-) approved specialties: turkey meatballs with shredded veggies inside and gluten-free mac and cheese made with olive oil, Parmesan, mozzarella and a little Gouda.
But Alba doesn't beat herself up for the occasional indulgence—and neither should you, she says: "Life's too short to deprive yourself." Glass jars of sweets can be found in each Honest meeting room, because "I can't get through a meeting without candy," she says. "And I love popcorn. My husband got me a popcorn machine for Christmas, but it took up too much space in our kitchen so I brought it to the office. In the beginning, I was the only one using it, but now popcorn's caught on. It's like the Honest Company snack."
2. Adopt a Fresh Fitness Philosophy
Alba's known for having a killer bod, one she's showcased in a number of physically demanding roles, from superhero Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four films to sultry stripper-turned-revenge-seeking-warrior in last summer's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. But looking flawless on-screen requires endless hours in the gym—a commitment she resented early in her career. "I didn't appreciate working out when I was in my 20s," she says. "It was purely for work, and I hated it so much. It was just brutal."
A shift in perspective came after Alba became a mother. "Now I enjoy it, because it's 'me' time and a stress-reliever," she says. These days, she likes to get her sweat on in hot yoga and spinning classes whenever she can. "I prefer Flywheel," says Alba of the cycling phenom that lets participants compare their progress to others' in the room, "because I like doing the competitive thing." She also logs time in her home gym, which occupies half of her garage (the other half is a playroom); there, she alternates sprints with brisk walking on a treadmill and keeps her abs toned with Pilates. "It's fun to mix it up," she says. "And I really like to work out with friends. They keep me accountable."
For those of us who see exercise as an obligation (like Alba once did), the actress suggests finding motivation beyond the physical. "I like how I feel after a workout," she says. But she doesn't stress when the gym falls off her schedule. "I'm a little squishy right now," she reports. "It's fine. I don't care."
For the rest of Jessica Alba's credos, pick up the January/February issue of our sister magazine Natural Health, on newsstands now.

Reinvest Vanderbilt board member Skyler Hutto writes that oil companies' investments in alternative energies have been insufficient, and until they get serious about becoming true energy companies, responsible investors should not hold their stocks. "In social and political movements of past decades, universities have taken the lead in asking for a change as investors. Each institution controls millions if not billions in capital, and more importantly, these institutions have loud voices. In the '80s, colleges divested from South African companies to oppose Apartheid. In the '90s, they divested from tobacco companies because of the irresponsible practices of those businesses. Now it is time for universities, including Vanderbilt, to divest from fossil fuel companies that refuse to seriously add green energy to their portfolio."

One of the toughest challenges when managing a data center is keeping everything up and running in the face of a disaster. Our clients depend upon us to keep their brand online and their back end operations working smoothly, regardless of the circumstances.
About a month ago, Hurricane Ike brought hurricane force winds to Louisville, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without power and an indefinite power outage to the home of our primary data center. This was the first major test of our emergency plan, and I am happy to announce we passed with flying colors.
Power was maintained to the data center thanks to battery backup that supports 4 to 6 hours of power outage. During that window, our plan went into effect, and our generators were fueled and put into action.
While I would love to say our plan was perfect, no untested plan ever is. One thing we had not anticipated was a fuel shortage created by such a large number of gas stations that were without power. My fellow LEAP staff jumped to action and scoured the city to stock up a supply of fuel that would last us through the crisis.
The second challenge was the impact of the loss of non-essential power. The lack of main office lighting, air conditioning, and minimal power to the offices (generator power was dedicated to keeping the data center up and running) made the environment an impossible one for us to have full staff working on location. We were able to overcome this challenge with the assistance of friends who provided us with locations to stage temporary offices for our production staff. With the assistance of VPN (virtual private networks), we were able to function as if we were all in the same office, even while we were spread across town.
In total, our primary data center was without power for five days. As a precaution, however, we kept the generators running for another full day to allow the battery backup to gain a full day of charge.
While it required all my staff to work almost 24/7 (we did take short naps in shifts), we were able to keep all client services running through the impact of the worst storm in 30 years. This success, however, has not kept us from learning lessons that will make us even more prepared for emergencies in the future.

Intentionality Is Vital To Growing By Conversion
Intentionality Is Vital To Growing By Conversion
Traveling gives you perspective. You not only see what is happening in one community but in communities across the nation. I've observed that most churches grow by transfer—believers moving from one church to join another. A church growing by conversion (winning the lost to Christ) is becoming difficult to find.
There is one word that determines whether or not a church grows through conversion: intentionality. But what does that mean practically?
First, intentionality measures church growth by the number of people brought to Christ by the congregational witness of the church. The church then teaches the new converts to reach others. I encourage you to resist the temptation of asking, "How many more people do we have in attendance this year than last year?"
Two, intentionality maintains a training program available twelve months out of the year. Training opportunities should be consistent not sporadic.
Three, intentionality leads the church in evangelism by example. Be ever-careful to do what you're asking your staff and congregation to do. One way to motivate others is to talk to the lost, not about the lost. Leadership by example is paramount. Accountability with one another is a big part of intentionality.
Four, intentionality plans one to two events a year specifically designed for believers to invite non-Christians. Don't allow it to become an "either/or" plan—personal evangelism or mass evangelism. It takes both.
Five, intentionality prays both for believers who evangelize and for those who need the gospel. Pray not just for those within the church but also for the lost outside the church.
Six, intentionality keep evangelism before the people every month. Sometimes this can be by testimony and sometimes by the way you could introduce a particular song, and other times by a message on evangelism. In some way, mention evangelism every Sunday.
Intentionality describes a church that grows by conversion.

This week's installment of Moments That Matter comes from Kolene McDade, who as a Schweitzer Fellow in New Hampshire-Vermont last year (along with partner Meredith Bartelstein) worked to expand SwimCHAMPS, a program at the Upper Valley Aquatic Center that seeks to empower children who have been diagnosed with asthma to become educated and confident partners in the management of their chronic disease through swimming.
The Dartmouth Medical School student says:
"One of my most favorite moments of SwimCHAMPS was working with a 7 year old girl. As a very shy and timid girl upon introduction, it was amazing to see how she developed over the course of just a few weeks.
At her first swimming lesson — which was able to be a one-on-one experience because of our wonderful volunteers — she refused to get into the water, and it was at that moment that I began to think we were going to never make any progress.
But it was one foot in, then both feet in, and each day we made more and more progress. She began standing in the water and then floating with our support, kicking herself, and using a kick board. And by the last day, our goal was to get her to put her head all the way into the water.
After much coaxing and several 'almost' attempts, she finally jumped into my arms underwater… my breath was frozen when I pulled her up, expecting tears and anger directed to me, but you can only imagine my astonishment to see a big smile and a wet arm pointing to the slide which was her reward for going under.
I know this is going to be just the first time going under water for her, but it was incredibly special to see it and be there with her for that very first time.
I think about her a lot, and so much about what the Schweitzer Fellowship has meant to me is embodied in her spirit. We can really shape lives and make a difference, and it is really as simple as holding your arms out and asking people to reach, jump, and swim just a little further than they would if you had not been there."
About Moments That Matter
Each year, approximately 200 Schweitzer Fellows across the U.S. commit themselves to creating and carrying out an intense yearlong service project that addresses unmet health needs — all on top of their typical graduate school responsibilities.
It's an awe-inspiring commitment — and one that may at times seem thankless.
But for each Schweitzer Fellow, there are those sustaining moments — the moments when things "click," and you have instant, inspiring proof that your Schweitzer project is making a difference that's rippling outward. These, like the Moment above, are the Moments That Matter — and here at Beyond Boulders we are spotlighting them every Tuesday.

Vote put off on new plan for diocese student housing on Troost Avenue
The Kansas City Council has once again deferred a final vote on a controversial plan for student housing on the former St. Francis Xavier School site.
The council on Thursday sent the plan back to the Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee for further review.
The Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph wants to replace the old school near 53rd Street and Troost Avenue with a residential building intended primarily for Catholic students at nearby Rockhurst University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The plan has drawn significant neighborhood opposition since 2012. The diocese had changed the building configuration along Troost, reduced the number of units from 85 to 82 and proposed more parking options after meeting with opponents and a mediator last year.
But 4th District Councilwoman Jolie Justus, who represents the district where the site is located, said the plan still faces fierce resistance from many residents. She said she wasn't asking that it be sent back to committee to "kill it" but to have city staff review it and see if there isn't a more workable compromise.
Council members Scott Taylor and Jermaine Reed said this issue has dragged on long enough and the diocese deserved an up-or-down decision. But the council voted 10-2 to accommodate Justus' request.

Carolina Hurricanes:
- Tyler Bozak
Toronto Maple Leafs:
- Roland McKeown
Toronto clears cap space.
Get's a good d-prospect.
Carolina can put Lindholm on the wing.
1.) 14 Jul 2017 09:36:24
Leafs add. a 2nd or a forward prospect. Bozak has only one year left.
2.) 14 Jul 2017 11:54:08
Ill pass on that from the leafs. Personally don't think McKeown will be become anything more than a depth defenceman. Would prefer to acquire a draft pick instead.
3.) 14 Jul 2017 20:25:14
I'm with Charles. Would have to be a better D prospect. I trust hunter to pick the right guys more than take another teams leftovers. Don't see mckeown as any more promising that. 3-4 leafs already have on Marlies. Is he a big upgrade over Nielsen, Dermott and valiev? Also he's not a guy that can step right in, leafs have those 3 at about the same level and just selected 3 more D that are a cpl years away. Make it a pick or a more ready defender.
4.) 14 Jul 2017 23:45:30
I'd do it for the leafs. Great skating right hand d man, entry level deal. Just cause he's low on the stacked Carolina defence ladder doesn't mean he has no value. Good trade.
5.) 15 Jul 2017 16:40:37
Just don't see mckeown being 1) better or 2) more NHL ready than the 3 Marlies D that were great last year in the AHL and deserve a look from the big team first. Getting marleau, hainsey and Moore shows leafs brass wanna try to win while guys are still on entry level deals because it gets harder after that. Losing a really solid 2 way centre with decent offense, good Faceoffs numbers and plays all situations for a guy to battle with 3 or 4 others for a 6th or 7th d spot seems like a step the wrong way.
15 Jun 2017 10:23:24
So there's a ''really strong rumour'' that there is a swap of players between Tampa Bay and Montreal.
Something like this is what I've heard.
- Johnathan Drouin
- 3rd round pick
Tampa Bay:
- Alex Galchenyuk
- 1st
This doesn't make sense to me. But it might for you.
Also; the source is NOT credible.
1.) 15 Jun 2017 12:20:24
What I saw was Drouin for Chuck + 1st.
I know people might disagree and I admit the value is most likely there, BUT from TB perspective I'd still say no and here is why: TB needs Drouins playmaking and creating ability way more than they need Galchenyuk who's more of a shooter (as evidenced by hitting 30 goal but not 30 assist plateau) . Their contracts should be around the same I guess. And the 1st will be a mid-late first, so I'd prefer keeping Drouin from a needs-standpoint.
2.) 15 Jun 2017 17:28:05
Yeah no way Tampa does either trade.
3.) 16 Jun 2017 23:07:10
I could see the players being traded one for one without picks involved. Bergie's too stingy to give a 1st away with Gally.
13 Jun 2017 11:02:20
New York Rangers:
- Jordan Eberle (800k retained)
Edmonton Oilers:
- Brady Skjei
Think NYR could use a scoring winger since Nash is pretty much worn out.
Helps Edmonton fill in Sekera's spot while he heals with his torn ACL. Hopefully he will eventually replace Sekera as well.
Good PP QB for the Oilers.
1.) 13 Jun 2017 11:38:06
Rangers say no. They have high hopes for him especially with Girardi and Staal declining. They want to boost and get younger on the D I think.
2.) 13 Jun 2017 12:06:52
No from NY.
Basically for the reasons yup said.
Plus, Skjei was largely ovelooked this year because Werenski was apart of the defenseman rookies. He had 40 points and him/ McDonagh could be really good in the future.
3.) 13 Jun 2017 13:56:17
Huge no from New York. I'd trade McDonagh before Skeij. Maybe a 1st for Ebs.
4.) 13 Jun 2017 15:03:54
NYR need D way more, especially after they inevitably buy out or get rid of one of Girardi or Staal.
5.) 13 Jun 2017 15:08:49
Oilers need a right handed dman.
6.) 13 Jun 2017 15:10:15
Not happening. got to offer up significantly more to attain Eberle.
Edmonton offers Juju in lieu of the vast undervaluation on your part for a top 6 winger.
7.) 13 Jun 2017 16:33:41
No from NY.
8.) 13 Jun 2017 17:15:07
Watch some other teams play once and a while BS Trade4all.
9.) 13 Jun 2017 19:38:57
Lol jk I guess Oilers need another left handed dman to add to the other 9 of them?
10.) 13 Jun 2017 20:24:16
Yeah that's an easy no from NYR.
11.) 13 Jun 2017 21:51:12
It's a no for NYR. I don't know if it's a really easy one. But once again leave it to FT4A to take the argument so far the other way it loses all credibility.
12.) 13 Jun 2017 23:37:54
McJesus you tool, doesn't matter if Rangers had 50 LHD, EBerle doesn't touch Skjei.
13.) 14 Jun 2017 21:14:39
OILers not rangers*.
14.) 14 Jun 2017 21:26:55
You wish. Ebs is worth 10x what that ELC'er is worth.
15.) 15 Jun 2017 01:01:37
Right I forgot.
When's Eberle being traded for Provorov and the 2nd Overall again?
10 Jun 2017 20:14:35
Edmonton Off-Season Targets/Predictions
Nick Bonino (could be a cheaper replacement for RHN, good two-way) 2yr 2.88 mil?
Trevor Daley (Could fill Sekera's spot because Sekera tore his ACL) 1yr 4.0 mil?
Would also love if they somehow added Jeff Skinner to the McDavid-Draisaitl line. RHN+ would be going back.
1.) 11 Jun 2017 17:28:07
Skinner is one of Carolinas few 'lethal' offensive players, with Aho/ Teuvo being the others. Don't think Carolina trades him for a more defensive player.
ALso, Bonino will get at least 3.5/ 3 years.
2.) 13 Jun 2017 10:42:34
RNH minus going back.
28 May 2017 01:10:46
Dallas Stars:
- 2017 22nd overall pick
- Jordan Eberle
Edmonton Oilers:
- Julias Honka
- 2017 39th overall pick
In my opinion, Honka is better than Eberle in value. Because of Jordan Eberle's poor performance and bad contract. (and Honka being right-handed) Also, defencemen are more valuable than forwards. Especially if the defenceman is right handed and can control the PP.
Honka fits Edmonton's needs (right handed PP QB) And he is NHL-Ready.
Chiarelli is looking to get a second round pick according to an article I read.
Oilers can select Jake Oettinger (G) with the 39th overall pick.
Dallas can pickup a good defenceman at 22. Jordan Eberle can still be a really good scorer for Dallas. Especially if he plays with Benn and Seguin.
1.) 28 May 2017 05:15:44
Don't like it for Dallas would rather keep Honka see what he turns out to be.
2.) 28 May 2017 10:18:58
Like I for oil for sure.
TB3's talk posts with other poster's replies to TB3's talk posts
06 Jul 2017 20:39:29
In my opinion if Draisaitl wants more than 6.5 million dollars, I'd just let him go. If I was GM I would not pay a player 7 million dollars who can't even produce as well if he had his own line. The Oilers tried putting him on the second line with Eberle etc and it didn't work. He is asking for around 8 million dollars I heard.
There is no way that I'm going to pay you that much if you can't produce without McDavid. Maroon scored 27 goals and had 42 points on McDavid's wing. Maroon is a third line winger at best. He would have scored around 20 points on the third line.
Do you think he's going to be asking for 5 million dollars per yer because he played with McDavid? No.
Sign somebody cheaper.
1.) 06 Jul 2017 21:05:09
lol, are you serious?
I'll take him for $8M a year. Habs still have over $9M left in cap space with 22 players signed.
2.) 06 Jul 2017 21:20:52
Actually, Maroon is probably going to ask for 4.5 million plus. He got points, and although it was from McDavid, he can use it as leverage in negotiations. If Edmonton isn't going to pay him, he'd walk.
as for Drais, idk. 6.5 is a way undercut. he's a good player. i agree not 9 million plus, but 8 is reasonable.
3.) 06 Jul 2017 23:51:27
Drais is definitely worth $7-8. It's hard to say if he'll ever get 70 something points again, but the skill set is there. It would be interesting to see him center the 2nd line all season and only be with McDavid on the PP. Regardless, he is a young power forward that are hard to come by.
4.) 07 Jul 2017 02:53:34
I can't see him signing for 6.5 or less. the way he played in the playoffs last year alone gets him more then that.
5.) 07 Jul 2017 05:03:36
I think 7mil would be fair
6.) 07 Jul 2017 08:56:24
You guys will pay a player that can't produce on his own 8 million dollars per year?
8 million per year is a good number one center.
Without McDavid, Draisaitl would have gotten maybe 50 points this season.
7.) 07 Jul 2017 14:48:49
I'd take Drais on the leafs for 10 mil.
8.) 07 Jul 2017 17:29:18
nylander your crazy.
9.) 08 Jul 2017 15:19:33
So you're arguing Drai isn't worth the money because he didn't work with a player who couldn't score in the playoffs regardless of whom he played with (Eberle, 2A total) in spite of Drai leading the team in playoff scoring, and being clutch when even McD wasn't putting up major points, and also that he was completely dependant upon McD to get all his point in spite of only playing half the season with him and still ending up top-10 for scoring in the league?
Thank god you have zero ties to the Oilers organization.
10.) 08 Jul 2017 19:16:15
Topshelf, If Drais was a UFA and wasn't Qulified by the Oilers. You wouldn't take him for 10mil?
11.) 10 Jul 2017 01:15:29
That was the longest sentance ever chirp. Someone must have got under your skin.
12.) 11 Jul 2017 22:09:22
not with the contracts we have coming up.
plus, we were talking RGA, not UFA. if drais was a UFA teams would be going up to 11mil easy.
13.) 14 Jul 2017 13:58:49
Exactly top shelf on the open market he'd be worth 11 mil.
14.) 19 Jul 2017 22:05:15
TB3. sayin. 8 mill is a good number one centre is outdated. Mcdavid is at 12.5, toews is 10.5 (signed 2 years ago) Tavares will be over 10 by this summer. Crosby and malkin are only under because their deals are 4 years old, Matthews will be over 10 by next summer. 7.5-8 is a good centre in today's game. Not a top tier. If you don't think draisatl is a top centre then there are 10 teams out there who need one and feel he is. Bob Mackenzie reported that draisatl wanted a 5 year extension last summer in the 5mill range and oilers challenged him to show he deserves it. He blew expectations away. Now he would laugh at the 5x5. Much like subban wanting 5x5 and habs giving him the bridge at 3.5 and he wins a Norris. Then it cost them 8X9mill.
05 Jul 2017 21:14:21
Oilers still have 18 million in cap space for this season.
Oilers sign Jiri Hudler (1yr 2 million AAV)
Oilers sign Cody Franson (1yr 1.25 million AAV)
Oilers sign Erik Gelinas (1yr 1.25 million AAV)
The signings help the Oilers fill two holes in the roster.
Scoring RW (since the Eberle departure)
PP D-man. (Sekera is out until January with torn ACL)
Depth D-man (Our depth on defence simply isn't good, Gelinas provides NHL experience too)
1.) 05 Jul 2017 23:37:25
Hudler played horrible last season. Dan't see him getting over 1.3 million imo.
Franson will probably get 1.75ish.
Gelinas is complete trash, don't spend anything on him.
2.) 06 Jul 2017 00:24:57
Franson would probably help but I don't think he will sign that cheap.
3.) 06 Jul 2017 02:07:37
No thanks to all 3 them. Maybe Franson for $1M 1 year. Maybe. Lol.
4.) 06 Jul 2017 14:14:24
I'd prefer Pirri for around $1.5-2mil for 1yr. Or Jagr just because he's my fav player of all time.
As far as D, Franson wouldn't be the worst for dirt cheap as a 6/ 7 to swap in with Gryba now and then. I have a feeling there are better options for cheaper or for trade out there tho.

Ryan Strome for Jordan Eberle.
- Edmonton get's more cap space
- Ryan Strome gets out of NYI
- Strome could turn it up. I honestly think he can be a great player. NYI just screwed him up.
- Oilers get bigger winger
- Oilers get younger winger
- Oilers don't retain anything
- Jordan Eberle might completely explode for 60 points with John Taveras. (But i'm really happy for him. He deserves greatness. We in Edmonton treated him like crap for the whole year)
- Strome might be the same lazy defender as Jordan Eberle. But with less offensive production.
The only reason Edmonton did this trade is because of salary cap. If Strome doesn't work out i'm perfectly fine with it since his contract ends next season.
P.C could've probably gotten a much better return, but he would have been retaining some cap which I heard he didn't want to do.
Strome scored 50 points in his first NHL season. This is a high-risk high-reward type of trade for Edmonton. I honestly think he will play much better in Edmonton. NYI sent him down to the AHL, publicly criticized the player from the start of his career.
I'm happy with the trade as an Oilers fan.
1.) 22 Jun 2017 18:07:53
60 points is "completely exploding" when he had 51 last year?
2.) 22 Jun 2017 18:39:52
Told you Oiler haters Oilers wouldn't retain anything on Eberle and that he was worth more than just a 4th round pick or a cap dump.
Although I was maybe hoping for Strome and a 3rd or a little add in or something I am fine with this. The main thing as I said all Along was getting rid of his salary and NOT retaining.
And no, I myself never thought he could get a Hamonic or a Faulk or a Vatanen straight up. I'm not that stupid.
3.) 22 Jun 2017 19:48:19
TB3- Great player is a stretch he has a weak shot and is an Below average skater. He transitioned into a grinding role towards the end of last season he does not have the tool set to become a "great" player. He is more suited for a 3rd line role that being said he has a top 6 playmaking ability. He's a very good passer.
4.) 22 Jun 2017 19:48:36
For Eberle, 60 points is exploding.
5.) 22 Jun 2017 20:09:20
Lol Nylander. You couldn't be more wrong. He actually has a good shot and is a pretty good skater.
He never transitioned into a "grind" role at the end of the year at all. Lucic-Nuge-Eberle was the second line almost the entire last half. He's one dimensional and that's for scoring and when's he's not putting up points he's noticibly bad because he isn't great defensively and has no grit.
His game is to be a scorer
27G 35A career average with two seasons over 65 and one being 73, that's the tools right there to be a "great" player. He Isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Hopefully he "bounces back" in NYI.
And no I am not an Eberle lover by any means. Lol. Glad he's gone. The very last place I would put Eberle is on the 3rd line. Lol.
6.) 22 Jun 2017 20:12:52
The whole strome family looks like junior players only. They don't seem to be good pros. I might be wrong, guess we will see. I do think Edmonton should stop trading with the Islanders. They seem to get fleeced every time.
7.) 22 Jun 2017 21:22:10
Where are you FT4A? Please chime in.
8.) 22 Jun 2017 21:23:54
Yup you do realize I'm talking about strome right? Eberle has a great shot. Skating is better then Stromes but it's still meh.
9.) 22 Jun 2017 22:32:50
Alright sure. Lol
Ya don't expect anything special from Strome. He is still only 23. Hopefully he a great middle six guy. Due for a new contract after this season which won't break the bank by any means. Right handed shot which is what they need on the forward groups with Eberle going out.
27 May 2017 00:12:55
Yakupov back to Edmonton a possibility?
Eberle will most likely will be a gone and that will make a hole in the Oilers' lineup. Puljujarvi might not be ready for the NHL next year.
Hung out with Yakupov on Whyte Ave a year ago. He actually seemed to like Edmonton.
1.) 27 May 2017 00:46:56
Yak was a very good person off the ice in Edm. He helped the homeless with meals and coffee a lot and took lots of time for autographs and pictures with fans. Always a smile on his face. He was at the rink all the time working out on and off the ice.
I personally do not want him back in Edm and I wish him nothing but the best where ever he plays.
I would rather, if Eberle does get traded, just run with a
Pitlick, Slepyshev, Kassian, Pakarinen/ Puljijarvi/ Free Agent on the right side. I don't wish to see Yak bak in Edm.
I really liked Pitlick last year before he went down.
2.) 27 May 2017 01:02:49
IMO he should try an Eastern Conference team that has nothing to lose. NJ comes to mind.
3.) 27 May 2017 02:01:14
I could see him in Florida or TB on cheap if he stays.
4.) 27 May 2017 04:23:03
Habs should give him a chance.
12 Jul 2017 22:45:47
Nashville not interested in trading their big 4.
Pretty obvious how much they liked them when they chose to protect the four D.
12 Jul 2017 03:48:50
RHN for McKeown is almost as laughable as The Taveres deal .
11 Jul 2017 04:46:01
Why do you need feedback so badly? It's not that bad of a trade as you can see by the response (believables, un)
This isn't a real trade, or are you the real Tim Murray?
Idk why this means so much to you to repost it twice just to get a response.
09 Jul 2017 21:32:57
Tavares won't get traded.
09 Jul 2017 19:00:48
KHL is better option than Calgary.
. nobody likes calgary.

What we too often expect from people we wouldn't — couldn't — expect from ourselves.
Take the running back on a sweep toward either sideline (now called "the edges") late in a game, his team winning and eager to keep the clock moving. A force of defenders forces him out of bounds, stopping the clock.
Almost invariably, the TV and radio commentators then scold him for "not staying inbounds."
Really? He should've just ceased running to suddenly and limply fall to the ground as two or three big guys pushed him toward the sideline? Without losing the ball, that's impossible — and a ridiculous expectation.
In 2004, Tommy Tuberville was the hottest of coaching commodities as his Auburn team finished 13-0. He had been recruited to Auburn after coaching Ole Miss back to a winning team — and after Tuberville vowed he only would leave Ole Miss when "they carry me out of here in a pine box."
But you know how it goes with student-athletics. He arrived at Auburn in a cash box. Then, in 2008, when Auburn finished 5-7, Tuberville was forced to hit the coaching road, to Texas Tech, and now Cincinnati, another school that can't spend enough or compromise the college enough to win football and basketball games.
On Nov. 5, after Cincy fell to 4-5 with a home loss to BYU, Tuberville was headed off when a nearby spectator hollered, "Hey, Tommy, you're stealing! You're stealing from this university! You're stealing, Tommy!"
Rough stuff, especially just after a loss. Don't know if most of us could be expected to quietly suffer such a sudden and harsh up-close and highly personal accusation or evaluation.
Not that he said anything nearly as harsh in return, but Tuberville couldn't — he couldn't stay in bounds when he was being shoved out of bounds.
"Go to hell!" he hollered back. "Get a job! Get a job!"
The next day, perhaps at the school's urging, Tuberville, 62, apologized in a written statement: "I had a regrettable outburst at a moment of great frustration. I apologize for that and will fix it."
And so Tubervile wasn't allowed the dignity to holler back at a guy who called him a thief, not without unilaterally apologizing, anyway.
Cincinnati pays Tuberville a base salary of $2.2 million per season, for five years. At that number, perhaps he is expected to surrender his dignity and sacrifice reasonable standards of the human condition.
How many of us could apologize for hollering back at guy who kept hollering that we were crooks? But most of us never have been in a position to worry about whether they're looking for a reason to fire us from our $2.2 million per year job.
That is why I always will have a soft spot for Jets quarterback Geno Smith. When his jaw was broken by a punch from teammate IK Enemkpali, Smith didn't claim innocence nor did he refute claims that he may have, to a certain, nose-to-nose human-conditions extent, been asking for it — like the fellow hollering at Tuberville.
Speaking of Jets QBs and swollen expectations, in Ryan Fitzpatrick, we have one who last season overachieved to the point that we — especially the media — expected overachievement to be his new normal.
Fitzpatrick is a plays-tough, tries-hard QB who does his best to do his best. He helped win games at Harvard — beating teams such as Lafayette Holy Cross and Columbia; not Miami, Ohio State and Alabama. And why would we expect sustained superior NFL play from a QB playing with his sixth NFL team?
If five previous teams deemed him expendable, what could we reasonably expect? He would overachieve again because the Jets, stuck for a QB, paid him a lot of money? That is not how it works.
Would any of us run faster or jump higher if we got a raise? Doing the best one can is what makes watching Yoenis Cespedes play — and listening to those who often ignore or excuse his minimal effort and demand his return, at any cost, to the Mets — so insufferable. Why did such a talent become expendable to three teams in three straight years?
That is why Red Sox fans still reference a fellow as "Bucky [Bleepin'] Dent." He exceeded their expectations — by several left-field feet. And realistic expectations are why the Yankees, the next game, didn't bat Dent cleanup.
Don't hold your breath for ESPN 'insiders' to explain
On Nov. 21, the University of Oregon is scheduled to play in a basketball tournament in Hawaii — along with Georgetown, Tennessee and Wisconsin — on ESPN. Given that ESPN is loaded with college basketball experts, surely one of them will explain the academic and athletic presence of Oregon/"University of Nike" guard Dylan Ennis.
Ennis — who is from Ontario, Canada, where he still lives — turns 25 next month. He previously played college ball for Villanova, and before that, Rice. He soon will be 25, and he has played for colleges in Texas, Pennsylvania and Oregon.
But first Ennis played high school ball at a private school near Chicago and another private school in The Bronx. East Coast, West Coast, north and south. He's been everywhere, man, he's been everywhere.
Despite the suspicious stench from all this, I'm sure ESPN's college "insiders" — Jay Bilas, for example — will be able to sort it all out and make complete, honest sense of it, while assuring viewers that either way, ESPN money is not party to any of it.
Third down and out: Statistics that tell us nothing
Knowing what TV will hit us with as significant Sunday, it is worth noting three of the NFL's top five teams in third-down efficiency — all third downs are recorded as the same — have a combined record of 12-13. The conversion leaders, at 53 percent, are the 4-4 Saints.
Two of the three worst have a combined record of 9-8. And Cleveland, 0-10, has a better third-down efficiency rate than 10 teams — including the 6-2 Chiefs, 6-3 Broncos, 5-2-1 Seahawks, 5-3 Giants and 5-4 Ravens.
Did Carl Pelleck have any influence on me and, by extension, this column? I hope so.
I was lucky to have been an 88-bucks-a-week copy boy, awestruck when Pelleck, a former copy boy, would enter The Post's grimy South Street city room 40-plus years ago.
A crime reporter who either broke stories or chased them until he got in front of them, Pelleck was a living black-and-white movie standard, the inscrutable big city newspaperman: tough, gruff, curt, scowling, fearless, frill-less, cynical, nail-ya-to-your-chair sarcastic — except for those disarming, magical moments when he was none of that.
Pelleck died Wednesday, at 84. He was something else.

Pressure on Pacers to level series
After the San Antonio Spurs confirmed their place in the NBA Finals, Sumeet Paul switches attention over to the Eastern Conference for Game 4 between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat...
Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers
Live on Betfair Video
The onus is now very much back on the Pacers, who must win at home on Tuesday night to avoid heading back to Miami for an elimination game on Friday.
The Heat demonstrated exactly why they are the defending champions in Game 3, sealing a comprehensive 18-point blowout win to inflict the first home defeat of the postseason on Indiana.
As a result, Miami snatched the initiative back from their rivals and will head into Game 4 confident of being able to produce a repeat performance and are favourites at 1.78
In contrast, just as Erik Spoelstra's men bounced back from disappointment, Pacers coach Frank Vogel must now mastermind a comeback of his own.
It is difficult to disregard the first two meetings in which Indiana were very effective, but the Heat looked as though things just might be falling into place as they had contributions across the roster while the Pacers defence was not good enough.
Game 4 will be a much closer affair, and its unpredictable nature makes it a fascinating encounter. However, despite home advantage and the "do or die" nature of this game, the Pacers may have just lost both momentum and the series.

I'm writing this as a counterpoint to Jonathan's impassioned column on disco. Don't worry; I'm not going to jump to disco's defense. I didn't like it either. I just didn't care that much.
See, I was that genuinely oddball phenomenon: somebody who really did grow up listening to practically nothing but classical music. Sure, I enjoyed the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel; they just didn't take up that much of my listening time. Then, when disco took over, I stopped paying attention to pop music. Period.
Not that that was easy. Reading the thread on disco on the ams-list, I've once again been impressed by the extent to which people—even musicologists—define their identity in terms of their tastes in popular music while they were growing up. That music was everywhere, and my music wasn't. Nevertheless, my musical memories of the late 60s and 70s are roughly as follows: in 1966 I discovered Debussy; in 1968, Mozart; in 1969, Beethoven; in 1970, Mahler; in 1971, late Beethoven. That was enough to keep my going for a while, but in 1975 I discovered Haydn, and in the late 70s, while doing my PhD coursework, a cappella choral music. If I registered the fact that popular music had gotten more formulaic and commercial, I just figured I was noticing it more as my musical knowledge base expanded.
It wasn't as lonely as it probably sounds. I went to college at Oberlin, and there were plenty of people there with similar tastes. The reason I'm writing this is that, looking back, I'm wondering if I really did miss something. The academic climate has changed to the point that musicologists feel free letting their hair down about their youthful musical tastes, and for many of us, it's apparently a really big deal. Somebody even wrote in to the ams-list observing as much, apparently with some surprise.
When I got my first teaching job in 1984, moving me across a continent, I received a radical suggestion from a close friend. If I was going to be teaching non-music major courses to Californians, I should learn something about the music they were listening to. I spent much of that summer with a Sony Walkman (anybody remember those?) listening to her compilation tapes of current and past pop music and expanding my knowledge base further. That's when I discovered I really did like the Grateful Dead and didn't particularly like Michael Jackson, who was then at his all-time peak of pre-extreme weirdness superstardom. As for disco, I still don't think it registered.
At that point, though, I honestly had no idea that most of the music majors I taught would also have identity-defining tastes in popular music. As I've learned about this, I've also learned to capitalize on it in my teaching. I can now say plainly that Brahms enjoyed music that was played by lowlifes in the backs of cafes, and that the unprecedented divergence between popular and art music is the most significant fact in the musical history of the 20th century. I've started pushing classical musicians to improvise, and when a student wants to do a thesis on blues guitar or Paul Simon's post-S and G years, I regard it as a learning opportunity. Baby steps, perhaps, but ones I never expected to be taking.
By the way, I admire Jimmy Carter and I admired him then. I still think the fact that he was a failure as president was a sad commentary on the vacuity of the 70s, not a reflection of his qualifications. And I still can't think of much of anything good to say about disco, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

The Germantown Fire Department sponsored a 24-hour emergency operations exercise over the weekend at C.O. Franklin Park behind the Pickering Center.
Germantown's Nashoba Amateur Radio Club was the host organization for the event. Operations began Saturday and continues through Sunday.
HAM Radio operators and emergency response crews from surrounding areas joined the Red Cross, CERT, the U.S. Coast Guard, Fayette County Tactical and Shelby County Tactical.
"The Germantown Fire Department is excited to serve as the sponsor of Field Day and are proud these organizations chose Germantown to serve as their Field Day operation headquarters," said Germantown Fire Chief John Selberg. "To our knowledge, this is the first time all these organizations have joined together on such a large scale to showcase ham radio and the capabilities that hams bring to the table when emergencies strike."

Handling Conflict at Work
Get used to it! Conflict is everywhere. It is natural to disagree, and conflict often results from the interaction of people and groups with different values, perspectives and beliefs. It can be rooted in factions or rivalries or in the polarized approaches of strong personalities. Sometimes it can come from the frustration of trying to discuss or resolve an issue before the time is right. Whatever the source of your particular conflict, you cannot know how to handle these confrontations without understanding their roots. Let's break it down:
We all have needs, and when someone ignores our needs, we feel frustrated and argumentative. On the other hand, we may withdraw, and try to undermine the process without confrontation. Don't confuse 'needs' with what you may 'want'. They are two different things. Nourishment is a basic 'need'. Without food, we cannot survive for long. However, if you said you 'needed' chocolate, I would argue that point.
Reality is a strange thing! Ideally, it is the same for everyone, but that is rarely the case. If you put a group of 10 people together, and asked them about the weather, you would get differing opinions on the severity, the temperature, the wind, the humidity. We all 'perceive' things different and to the extent that we think something is important or trivial, there is the potential for conflict.
Each person has their own paradigm -- a set of beliefs or principles we hold as truth. When we talk about an issue with someone who has incompatible or shifting values, there is the potential for conflict, especially if we insist that ours is the only correct opinion. Just such a trigger has started many religious and political wars! Human beings are emotional creatures. We depend on our feelings to tell us what our 'gut' reaction is and sometimes we let them loose under the wrong circumstances, when cooler heads should prevail.
How one defines and uses power is important in conflict. Some people feel that they must always come out on top in order to prove their superiority or just because they are always right, while others do not take confrontation well and they will give the power away to the one who cries the loudest, without agreeing with their position. These more passive people may still create problems but quietly trying to undermine the solution that the stronger person pushed through. So, be careful not to discount the quiet ones. This power struggle scenario has a definite affect on how conflict is managed. Conflicts arise when one or more people try to make others change their mind and vote a certain way or when the stronger party tries to take unfair advantage of the weaker party.
However, conflict is not always negative. It can be healthy if it is managed effectively. Putting people with diverse opinions in the same room will bring forth a richer solution, but only if the conflict is managed. This well-facilitated conflict can result in unexpected growth, ingenious solutions to problems, new angles on solutions and many more options from which to choose.
When a group gets together, the first thing you need to think about is whether you have the right people in the room to solve a problem. There is nothing worse than being stuck in conflict that the group cannot resolve because decision-makers are missing from the room during the discussion. You may have some idea that a conflict will arise in this project, or you may think it will be smooth sailing. Either way, set the stage right away for conflict management.
Write your ground rules on a board and refer to them if people violate them. Everyone's opinion counts. There are no stupid ideas. We will hear and explore every idea that is presented. We will not judge others or their opinions in advance based on what we think we know of them, even if we work with them every day. We will consider all ideas objectively and in a non-judgmental manner. We will not engage in bullying behavior, or create or encourage factions within the group. You get the idea. Come up with your own ground rules and make it abundantly clear that this group will play by the rules with NO exceptions. When conflict does arise, you can use the following steps to manage the issue:
Analyze the nature and type of conflict. Ask questions to better understand the positions and give everyone a chance to talk. Write the FACTS on a blackboard or flip chart and stay away from emotional, subjective statements or inflammatory remarks. Just the facts!
Select a strategy to deal with the conflict. If you can't resolve it by taking it apart and carefully drawing conclusions, then consider involving a neutral facilitator to get the group moving toward consensus. If the group members are too familiar with each other and know how to 'push the buttons' an outside may be the best medicine and can provide a firm hand.
Reinforce the collaborative approach and strive for a 'win-win' result. Use objective criteria for ranking ideas. Don't just throw out an idea because someone says, "That is stupid".
Keep your common interests in mind -- not the methods by which you will achieve the interests, but the vision or goal itself. Don't let the group be caught up in a power struggle over 'how'. Identify options so that everyone is involved and then let the group discuss and recommend the best approach. You may be able to make some trade-offs, or combine aspects from various options to come up with something that everyone likes.
Look for ways to compromise. Not everything is critical. Encourage the team to give and take. I'll accept this if you give me that. Remember to focus on the result and the outcome. The group is trying to accomplish a task or come up with a solution to a problem. Don't get so caught up in your conflict that the team produces a poor solution -- or no solution at all!
Be sure that the entire group signs up for the solution you choose. You may even want to have every group member sign a commitment document.
Finally, monitor your team to ensure you are moving in the right direction and keep an eye open for the following dynamic combinations. Any of these can bring your team to its knees:
Win/Lose -- one person or group is determined to win, and does not care about the input or concerns of the other person or group. This happens when basic rights or values are at stake and it can result in retaliation by the losers, and endless cycle of 'one-upsmanship'. You'll never get anything done!
Lose/Win -- when an issue is more important to one group than to another group or individual, the apathetic person or group may give in just as a gesture of good will, thinking that the issue doesn't matter all that much anyway. If the topic is on the table for debate and it is important to the business, then everyone HAS to care, whether they want to, or not!
Lose/Lose -- if the issue is not important to anyone or there are more critical things to think about, a person or group may make a decision without any thought or focus. This scenario can also occur when a confrontation could have devastating results or when the group is making a decision without enough information or without involving the right people. No one wins!
