One man will be absent from this weekend's fixture between Liverpool and West Ham at Anfield, despite dominating the news in the build-up to the clash – on-loan striker Andy Carroll – but the topic of where his future lies, with the end of the season in sight, is once again a source of much debate for Britain's most expensive ever player, but could he still be a success on Merseyside?
The Daily Mirror published a report today claiming that Carroll is likely to be offered a lifeline by manager Brendan Rodgers in the summer, with the crucial caveat that the England international will have to settle for a squad role and place in the pecking order predominantly as an impact substitute. This supposed turnaround is born partly out of circumstance and the fact that the 24-year-old has started just 15 league games so far this season after struggling with injury, meaning that West Ham will be reluctant to go anywhere near the £17m agreed fee clause in his current loan contract.
In an interview with Yahoo, Rodgers revealed that the club would like to press ahead with regards to bringing in a few fresh faces over the summer, but that he wanted to avoid a repeat of the 'operational issues' that dogged the club's transfer policy at the start of the season: "We would have liked to bring in a few more players in the summer but we didn't. The group were admirable with what they coped in that period because we had a lot of games. We knew we had to bring in reinforcements in January and the board worked superbly to get those players.
"We are hopeful that come the summer we can make more additions that will take us on to the next level. So there was no vindication really, just that Andy [Carroll] wanted to play games every week and at the time there wasn't the availability to bring in a replacement. The business we did in January however was excellent and that's a great credit to the club."
It's a tacit acknowledgement that Carroll may have perhaps had a future at the club this season had he not been so eager to have a guaranteed role in the side. The suspicion that the club would take a rather hefty financial hit on any sale has obviously brought the issue front and centre and with the net debt increasing by a third from £65.4m in July 2011 to £87.2m in May 2012, they may not be so hasty to cast off a perfectly serviceable option, with Rodgers transfer budget set to be reduced.
The January business that saw forward Daniel Sturridge brought in from Chelsea and diminutive playmaker Philippe Coutinho signed from Inter Milan will have seen the club taking on even more debt, and while they would clearly still like to sell Carroll for as much as possible, as a potential face-saving measure, he may simply be put on some sort of mobility training programme and forever used as the much-vaunted plan B option the club have at times required this term.
[cat_link cat="liverpool" type="list"]
After Carroll's double against West Brom last Saturday at Upton Park, which included a wonderfully-taken volley on his weaker right foot with the ball coming over his shoulder, Sam Allardyce hinted that the club are still interested in the target man, but not at the £17m price agreed before the season started, telling reporters: "There is always a possibility. We will look at the end of the season and we will see what negotiations can be done."
In all honesty, this eventuality has been a long time coming – nobody in their right mind would fork out £17m on a striker that's started just 15 league games for them the year before, especially one with limited resources like West Ham. The list of potential alternative clients is short, well, really short aside from the Hammers, and it includes just Newcastle. If his name was Adriane Carollé, he'd be a veritable shoe-in, but they may deem him too expensive also, despite Alan Pardew's willingness to bring him back.
Essentially, Rodgers could be placing the ball in Carroll's court, much like he did last summer, and backing him into a corner by letting him know that he will never be a regular in the squad therefore forcing him to declare his desire to leave. It's a risky move that would surely drive the price down for a player that always desired to prove himself at Anfield before his loan move away.
Carroll clearly doesn't fit Rodgers philosophy, while his 4-3-3 system is heavily built around a fluid attacking style and a mobile centre-forward comfortably with interchanging out wide or dropping deep to collect the ball – both Sturridge and Luis Suarez fit perfectly, but with the Uruguayan's future still up in the air, at least until that guaranteed bumper deal is agreed which will see him stay one more year before leaving, the hierarchy could just be erring on the side of caution in trying not to repeat the mistakes in the transfer market which hindered them at the beginning of the campaign and left them with just one fit senior striker.
This transfer saga, and it will be one of those, no doubt, looks to have plenty of twists left before it comes to its logical conclusion. It's difficult to see a route back for Carroll at Anfield and the club look as if they're bluffing, trying to flush out some interest in their unwanted striker. His return wouldn't be the worst move in the world for what looks an unbalanced squad capable of being bullied out of games at the moment and his physical presence could come in handy against certain sides, but while a return to Merseyside looks assured this weekend, he has plenty left to prove between now and May about whether he deserves another shot at Liverpool.

Your body mass index, or BMI, is a general indication of your percentage of body fat. It's a mathematical equation based on the ratio of your weight and height. It's not as accurate an assessment as an underwater weighing, or even a skin-fold test using calipers, but it can still give you a good indication of your risk for developing certain diseases associated with obesity, such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.
Step 1
Calculate your BMI. You'll need to know your height in inches and your weight in pounds. Divide your weight by your height squared. Multiply that number by 703. An adult who is 5'6" tall and weighs 160 lb. has a BMI of 25.8. You could use an online BMI calculator to do the equation for you.
Step 2
Check if your BMI fits into the normal range. Any BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal. A BMI under 18.5 is categorized as underweight. You are considered overweight if your BMI is between 25 and 29.9. If your BMI is 30 to 39.9, you are obese. Any BMI over 40 is classified as morbidly obese. These categories are for adults over 20 years of age. There are other ranges for children and teenagers, divided by gender.
Step 3
Discuss the results with your doctor. The body mass index may not be a good indication of your body fat level if you are pregnant or a serious athlete. Athletes might have a much greater percentage of muscle mass than the standard BMI formula allows for.
- Your BMI is just one tool for determining your risk of weight-related health problems. Other factors include family history and underlying illness.

SHOW & TELL - Tin soldiers
More participants are here at Kelly's
When we moved to Waterloo, people started to offer tin soldiers to Mr. Gattino. In a short time he had all soldiers in their different uniforms.
Here you can see Napoleon, he is the only one I recognize because I know nothing about the uniforms of the different countries fighting in this battle.
The only thing I admire is their colorful outfit, what a difference to the uniforms soldiers wear today !
To go along with the battle he also has two books which describe the uniforms in all details.
There were 72,000 French soldiers consisted of 58,000 infantry, 14,000 cavalry, and 7,000 artillery with 250 guns.Wellington had 67,000 men: 50,000 infantry, 11,000 cavalry, and 6,000 artillery with 150 guns. Of these, 24,000 were British, with another 6,000 from the King's German Legion. All of the British Army troops were regular soldiers and 7,000 of them were Peninsular War veterans. In addition, there were 17,000 troops from the Netherlands, 11,000 from Hanover, 6,000 from Brunswick, and 3,000 from Nassau. Can you imagine how colorful the battlefield was !
Over 50 000 soldiers lost their life here in 1815.

Very nice collection! I imagine they are tiny and you have them behind glass doors to avoid the dust... Dust is my enemy, I would need a cleaning army in my home :)
- 27 Feb 2009, 08:28:00
Mmmm, I agree with you, it's the colors thats make them attractive to me. OK, the history of them is fantastic too.
Must have been a fascinating sight - and terrible with all those on the battlefield. Though wars at that time were more fair, more man against man instead of the big bombs following in later wars.

What a great collection!
Thanks for the informative post Gattina, it made me read about Waterloo in detail...
The British (23,000 men) together with 44,000 allied Germans, Belgians, Dutch and Prussians (and their 160 guns) fought against 74,000 members of the French Grande Armée (and their 250 guns). Approximately 141,000 men fought on the Waterloo battlefield that day.... Awesom!

I see both you and the Lord of the Manor are obsessive collectors.
The war you date around 1815 must be the war that was also waged here in North America. We call it the war of 1812 with the British(In Canada) fighting with the Americans. Both side like to claim victory. The British managing to set the American White House on fire I think gives them the edge. The American don't like to admit this is a war they lost.

In Support of Artists: The Evolution of Seattle Exhibition Spaces
Thursday, May 25 at 7:00 pm
at Greg Kucera Gallery
212 Third Ave S, Seattle
Moderated by Beth Sellars, the panel will explore the different models for the art gallery, how they operate and facilitate artist careers, and what the future may bring to Seattle. Our guest panelists represent a broad range of models that best illustrate the interlocking parts of the Seattle art community now.
Panelist include:
Julia Greenway – Interstitial
James Harris – James Harris Gallery
Dawna Holloway – studio e
Brendan Kiley – Seattle Times
S. Surface – The Alice
Tariqa Waters – Martyr Sauce
Robert Yoder – SEASON
Hosted by Greg Kucera (Greg Kucera Gallery), Sharon Arnold (Bridge Productions), Gail Gibson (G. Gibson Gallery)
Ticket price: $5 for admission. Additional donations gladly accepted. Proceeds to benefit Artist Trust.
We imagine this event as part of a series we will convene on the arts community in Seattle. We are hopeful that this discussion will lead to a realization of the richness and diversity of the visual art community at this moment. There are a great many show spaces in Seattle now—-at least 50 or so by our recent informal survey. We also recognize that the scene here is shifting a bit. It's becoming apparent that galleries don't have to be in the downtown core as they generally have been in the past. Georgetown's development as an arts district brings a host of new ideas and models to the gallery world. Not all of these models are open during predictable daytime hours, five or six days a week. As several prominent galleries have closed, or gone private, in recent years, we are also reminded that our business is perhaps more fragile than ever before and we need to take steps to insure that artists have places to physically show their work. We need to preserve space where critical assessment can occur, and places where artists can convene to share ideas and experiences.

[B]ecause of the specter of a multitude of primary contests, particularly on the Republican side in both the House and Senate, that may result in the House GOP caucus becoming a much more homogenous-and ideologically conservative-group . . . None of these potential contests seem to be spurred on by ideological issues or concerns . . . but the defeat of any of the Republican incumbents can impact the swing that we have since since at least 2002 to a more ideological Senate.
Feigenbaum counts at least 7 incumbent House Republican members and 5 incumbent Senate members as facing opposition in the May primary. He reports that Republican representatives Ralph Ayres, Mary Kay Budak, Rich McClain, Tom Saunders, Woody Burton, Mike Murphy and David Frizzell will face primary opposition. On the senate side, Republican senators Jeff Drozda, Allen Paul, Mike Delph, John Waterman and Senate President Pro Tem Robert Garton will face primary opposition.
It also sounds like the state's GOP leadership may be responsible for at least some of the primary challenges, who may be asking lobbyists and GOP lawmakers to choose sides against incumbents. Feigenbaum says, "[T]hey point to some involvement of this phenomenon not only from House leaders, but also from the Indiana Republican State Committee." He adds, "We're told to keep a close eye on the All Children Matter political action committee, which played a key role late in the election cycle in marginal House races." That committee is tied to conservative Terre Haute lawyer Jim Bopp, who also serves as Indiana Republican Party Treasurer.
An even more conservative GOP may be just what Democrats are ordering for this year's contest for control of the House of Representatives, which the Republicans narrowly control by a 52-48 margin. Mainstream voters may opt for Democratic House candidates in close races out of fear of the extremist measures which may result from one party control of the state by an even more conservative GOP.
Gov. Mitch Daniels has stated that he considers it a priority of his for the GOP to retain control of both houses of the General Assembly. But like his Democratic predecessors came to learn, his own political standing may be better served by a divided government. If the Democrats succeed in regaining control of the House this year, his chances of re-election in 2008 will be improved.

Reporting Services troubleshooting: Speed CSV imports into Excel
Reporting Services exports CSV files in a format not easily recognized by Excel, slowing the import process. Contributor Serdar Yegulalp explains how to fix this problem.
The following is the first tip in a series on how to troubleshoot common SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services dilemmas.
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 can export to a variety of formats including PDF and the ubiquitously-used, comma-separated value (CSV). If you're exporting to Excel a great deal and need a good format for speed – and don't need pretty formatting – CSV is usually the best way to go.
But there's one small problem: Reporting Services exports CSV files as Unicode by default, not ASCII. This creates problems for Excel because Excel's CSV import module has difficulty automatically recognizing CSV files written in Unicode. If you attempt to import into Excel, the import process can take an agonizingly long time, and it will only get exponentially worse for bigger files. This may manifest to the end user as what seems to be a sluggish download process, when in fact the problem is Excel's file conversion.
To get around this dilemma, you can edit Internet Information Server's (IIS) rsreportserver.config file to export to ASCII .CSV by default:
1. Open the rsreportserver.config file with a text editor and look for this block:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft. ReportingServices.CsvRendering"/>
2. Comment out that section with <!-- and --> marks.
3. Directly below that comment section, add the following:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport, Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering"> <Configuration> <DeviceInfo> <Encoding>ASCII</Encoding> </DeviceInfo> </Configuration> </Extension>
4. Run IISRESTART to reload the configuration file.
The reason you'll want to comment out the original block rather than delete it is so that you can revert back to the original settings in the unlikely event the new ones don't work correctly.

Just before dawn, 9 April, 1948, a combined force of Israeli Irgun and Lehi troops, with a small number of Palmach, all in all about a company in strength, attacked the generally inoffensive Arab village of Deir Yassin, a couple of miles west northwest of Jerusalem. About the only uncontested matters are that there was an attack, in roughly company strength, on an Arab village that was apparently trying to keep out of the war, and had a non-aggression pact with the neighboring Jewish village. Oh, and that the village is gone now, and the site, and what buildings remain, home to a funny farm, the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Institute.
Contested matters – and probably all of them matters completely impossible to fully credit or to fully discount – include the degree of inoffensiveness of the village, the population, the number of dead, hence the percentage of dead, the amount of looting that took place, whether or not there really were any rapes, let alone mass rapes, and whether prisoners, armed or purely civilian, were killed – murdered, in cold blood – after the event.1 There seems no doubt that women and children were a substantial proportion of the dead.
In a real sense, though, the truth doesn't matter in the slightest. The other Arabs believed the worst, and there was apparently at least enough truth in the worst to make it credible.
"Arabs throughout the country, induced to believe wild tales of 'Irgun butchery,' were seized with limitless panic and started to flee for their lives. This mass flight soon developed into a maddened, uncontrollable stampede. The political and economic significance of this development can hardly be overestimated…"
~ Menahem Begin
They weren't just fleeing for their lives; as mentioned before, in another column, as individuals Arabs are about as brave as anyone. Instead, they also were fleeing dishonor, the dishonor of not being able to protect their women and girls from rape, to which the Arab press gave major coverage.
On 27 May, 1942, a team from Great Britain that had parachuted into the former Czechoslovakia attacked the car of Reinhard Heydrich, the Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia. On 4 June, Heydrich died. On 10 June, an attack was launched – it might have been called a reprisal but was apparently motivated entirely by revenge – on the Czech town of Lidice. First the men were shot, all those present, though a few more who were not in the town at the time were later rounded up and executed. The women and children were rounded up and sent to concentration camps, where a small number of children were selected for adoption and the rest, to the tune of eighty-two, were gassed.2 The animals of the town were killed. It was burned and the remains blown up.
Rather than covering it up, the Nazis crowed about it, as they did about the collateral destruction of the village of Ležáky.
There was almost no resistance to the Nazis, in Czechoslovakia, thereafter.
The differences between the two? One group probably couldn't have foreseen that their action would give results – ethnic self-cleansing – so completely in accord with their desired war aims. The other absolutely intended their example to terrorize and occupied populace into quiescence, and got that, but was mostly interested in simple revenge. Of course, they got that, too.
Note, there, that this suggests attacker's intent is not the key aspect of effective terror. Compare that, too, with the previous column in which I noted that the Red Army Faction probably intended specific terror, and probably deluded themselves that they were achieving it, yet probably never even came close. In other words, attacker's intent is nice and all, but the important thing is the effect on the target, which may or may not meet intent, and the most important thing is the perception of the target, or target population.
Now note the similarities. Where one might look at smaller terrorist groups as working, or trying to work, from the bottom up, here we have two very top down approaches. We have a reasonably or very well organized group, completely ruthless, efficient, not deterable by anything its victims can call on.
No, again it matters not a whit if Irgun and Lehi were none of those things; so long as the Arabs believed they were most or all of them.
And the target; a largish group, a complete village, containing within it a gene pool, a meme pool, a record of history, with which history all members of the village can identify. It could be any village; it could be yours. Moreover, if you're an Arab in 1948 and you don't get your family, especially the women, away from the Jews, it will be yours, you think, because Arab arms have proven so incapable of stopping the Jews. And if you're a Czech, a few years earlier, and you or anyone in your village helps the resistance, Lidice will also be your village, because the Nazis can reach anywhere, to any village, and will do what they say they will do if they reach out for yours.
And that is how genocidal or civilicidal terror works, by going after an exemplar of everything you care about, not just family, but friends and houses and cemeteries and churches and old memories, your entire connection to the past and to the future…it threatens to erase them all.
Of course, sometimes it's more than just a village, sometimes it's an entire people and civilization. Think here Carthage and Corinth, both in 146 BC.
So civilicidal terror is always bad, right?
Maybe not. In fact, not. Look around. Note the room you're in. Contemplate the building the room is in, the town or city the building is in, the expansive county, state and country in which the town or city is. Note the revolving planet, a lovely blue, dotted with clouds, holding them all. Now note that said world, country, state, county, city or town, and building, are not irradiated ruins, devoid of life. Consider that your family and friends still live or, at least, if they've passed, have probably done so naturally, without having been murdered in a mutual nuclear orgasm cum suicide pact.
You see, terror is at its best when it is a threat that need rarely or never be acted upon to be credible. Yes, yes, sometimes the occasional punctuation mark must be made of an abused corpse or a town of them, but, on the whole, the threat is more effective than the action.
That was what we did to each other, us and the Soviets. We threatened each other with civilicide, the complete destruction of everything the other cared about. And, so, sufficiently deterred by that terror, neither of us did it or let anything happen that would cause us to do it.
I'm probably going to take a little break on these terror columns, because they're getting depressing, but I'll likely get back to them.
1 If the prisoners were massacred, it was not a unique occurrence. One can argue about what happened at Rafah and Khan Yunis, in 1956, though I suspect the worst is about right. One has a harder time discounting Israeli commander Arieh Biro's admission of tormenting then massacring some 49 Egyptian civilian detainees, in 1956. No, the Israelis were hardly unique in their guilt, they just tended to win more and so were able to perpetrate more. Where the Arabs won, they were as bad or, sometimes, worse. Biro, however, seems to have understudied the SS who guarded him in camp a little more diligently than most.
2 You can find pictures, school portraits, typically, of many of the children on line. I do not recommend looking for the pictures. The memorial is tough enough to see.

Hold Team Meetings . Monitor and Evaluate Your Efforts . Sustain Your SART . Know Your Team . Critical Issues
Other Confidentiality Issues
Many other issues affect confidentiality. Here is a sampling of issues, with links for more information:
In This Toolkit: Critical Issues: HIPAA
The Health Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) protects the privacy and security of an individual's health data, particularly regarding the acquisition, use, and exchange of patient information. The rule poses some challenges for SARTs, however, when individuals are not clear on HIPAA exemptions and permissible disclosures.
Confidentiality and Sexual Violence Survivors: A Toolkit for State Coalitions. Discusses the use of interpreters as it relates to confidentiality.
A National Code of Ethics for Interpreters in Health Care. Lists a code of ethics for interpreters in health care, developed by the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care.
Before using an interpreter to translate for victims, be aware of any confidentiality issues that may arise. Also be aware that finding an interpreter unknown to the victim may be a challenge, depending on the size of your jurisdiction. Review any local and state laws, rules, and procedures regarding the use of interpreters in your jurisdiction.
In many states, medical personnel must report to law enforcement and/or social services if they have treated children, elderly persons, or vulnerable adults who have been sexually assaulted.23 On the other hand, laws requiring health care providers to report cases of competent, adult rape victims vary greatly throughout the Nation. Some states specifically require health care providers to report treatment of sexual assault victims to law enforcement, others require health care providers to report nonaccidental or intentional injuries that can include rape, and still others have laws mandating reporting for injuries caused by criminal conduct or violence.
Keep in mind that members in your SART could interpret state reporting statutes differently, depending on their discipline. Resolve any questions about reporting requirements up front by developing reporting protocols or guidelines and by institutionalizing the guidelines with memorandums of understanding or agreement.
In This Toolkit: Advocates
Describes the advocate's role on the SART team in more detail.
Establishing Victim Services Within a Law Enforcement Agency: The Austin Experience. Describes the benefits to both victims and law enforcement officials of incorporating victim assistance staff within law enforcement agencies.
In some jurisdictions, SARTs place advocates at district attorney's offices, law enforcement agencies, or probation and parole departments in addition to community-based advocacy organizations. Where such arrangements exist, it is essential that the government-based agencies have a clear understanding of the different confidentiality and privilege responsibilities that apply to community-based advocates.
Unique confidentiality issues may arise when serving specific victims. For example—
- Victims in educational settings. Maintaining confidentiality on campus can be problematic. Students often live in such close proximity to each other that privacy is short lived. Jurisdictional issues also come into play (federal laws, state laws, school policies), as do several other factors (e.g., age of victim and attacker, relationship between victim and attacker). For more information, read—
- Confidentiality and Sexual Violence Survivors: A Toolkit for State Coalitions.
- Family Educational Right to Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g.
- The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f).
- Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, Public Law 106-386, § 160.
- Foley Amendment (to the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act).
- Military victims. The Department of Defense offers unrestricted and restricted reporting options to military victims of sexual assault. Victims go through the unrestricted reporting channel when they want medical treatment, counseling, and an official investigation of the case. If a victim wants medical treatment and counseling but does not want the case to be officially investigated (and therefore retains confidentiality), he or she would be able to use the restricted reporting channel. For more information, read—
- Rural victims. To maintain the privacy of rural victims, consider creating protocols for victims needing services regionally to protect their privacy or activation protocols providing guidance on the response to sexual assault when suspects are well known or in trusted positions (e.g., teachers, coaches, clergy, law enforcement officers, doctors). You also could conduct a community needs assessment survey or hold a town meeting, which might bring to light other issues that need to be addressed when developing guidelines to help ensure victim anonymity. For more information, read—
- In This Toolkit: Serving Rural Victims.
- In This Toolkit: Protocols.
- American Indian victims. For American Indian victims of sexual assault to be afforded protected communications on tribal land, it is helpful to identify elders or native healers who can work confidentially with these victims. Oral history and traditions can still be used to develop and apply concepts of tribal justice. Disclosure itself, especially to multiple professionals, is not always culturally congruent with American Indian values of privacy, the emphasis on spiritual recovery, and the protection of native cultures from further outside intrusion.
American Indian communities that have confidentiality policies within their tribal codes can help ensure that victims are afforded both state statutory and tribal code rights for privileged communications to ensure privacy whether victims receive tribal or non-tribal services.

Note: This information is from our manual, Discipline in Public Schools.
The state's new school discipline rules include provisions that schools must follow if a teacher decides a student should be removed from a classroom. This is called a "Classroom Exclusion" in the state rules.
Who has authority to remove my child from class for misbehavior?
Teachers are the ones who have much of the responsibility for making sure classrooms are safe and productive places for all students to learn, so teachers also have authority to remove a student if they are being disruptive or unsafe. Specifically, teachers have the authority to exclude or remove a student for behavior that disrupts the classroom if there is:
- Continuing Disruptive Behavior: If the student's behavior is disrupting the class, and the teacher has tried other things to support the student in meeting behavior expectations, but the disruptive behavior continues, the teacher can send the student out of the class.
- Immediate Threat of Continuing Disruption or Danger to Others: If the student's presence is threatening to disrupt the class or put other students or staff in danger, the teacher can send the student out of class. (If there is an immediate threat of disruption or danger to others, a principal (or designee) has to be notified immediately).
In addition to classroom teachers, school districts can give other school staff the authority to decide if a student should be excluded from a class, or an instructional activity, for behavioral violations. Decisions about suspensions and expulsions are generally made by principals or another administrator.
How long can a Classroom Exclusion last?
A student can be sent out of the classroom for up to the rest of the class period, or the rest of the school day. A student cannot be kept out for more than the rest of that day unless they are being suspended, expelled or emergency expelled. The student cannot be sent home (out of the school) unless the school decides they should be suspended, expelled or emergency expelled.
If my child is removed from class, do they have a right to make up tests or assignments they missed?
Yes. If a student is excluded or removed from class for misbehavior, they still have the right to make up tests or assignments they missed while they were out.
Should I (the parent) be notified if my child is sent out of class?
Yes. The teacher is required to report the classroom exclusion, and the behavior that led to it, to the principal as soon as reasonably possible. The teacher or the principal is required to notify the parent as soon as reasonably possible.
What can I do if I think the classroom exclusion was unfair or unnecessary?
Start by asking for a meeting with the teacher and the principal. This can be an important opportunity to hear from the school about what they have been seeing, and to share your concerns with them. If you still have concerns after talking with the principal, you can request a meeting with the Superintendent, or someone at the district level. If you still have concerns after that, you can ask to present your concerns to the school board at their next meeting.
What can I do if my child keeps getting in trouble, and sent out of the classroom?
If a student is getting in trouble often, it is important to try to understand why. The causes of behavior issues are not always clear, or easy to identify. In some situations, repeated classroom exclusions or discipline referrals can be a sign that the student is struggling with academics, peer relationships or behavior expectations and may need more individualized supports. In other situations, it can be a reflection of a challenging classroom environment where a teacher may need help with implementing positive behavior supports. It can be helpful to ask yourself, your child, and your child's teacher and principal questions about what has been happening, like:
- Is my child having a difficult time in general with following rules, or engaging appropriately with peers both in school and out of school?
- Are the challenges occurring just in one classroom, or only at a particular time of day, or area of the school?
- Is it just my child, or are several students getting in trouble frequently in the same classroom, or area of the school?
- Are there similar behaviors happening repeatedly, or is it different behavior each time?
Sometimes frequent misbehavior or discipline can be a sign that a child might have a disability that is affecting their learning. Certainly not every child who misbehaves has a disability, nor does every child with a disability have challenges with behavior. However, sometimes a child who is struggling to keep up academically or meet the demands of the classroom will act out when they are frustrated or don't know what else to do. If you suspect your child might have a disability (whether it is a learning disability, a developmental disability, an emotional or behavior-related disability or something else), you can ask the school district to do a comprehensive evaluation. You can find information about Supports for Students with Disabilities in the Education Issues section of our website, www.oeo.wa.gov, or by clicking here: /education-issues-topics/special-education/. If your child seems to be getting in trouble for the same thing over and over again, it might be helpful to connect with the teacher, a school counselor and the principal and work on a plan to address it. The plan might involve teaching, or re-teaching what appropriate behavior would be in that situation, and making sure the adult responses to the behavior are not unintentionally reinforcing it. If you are concerned that there are more general problems in the classroom or school environment, you can ask for a meeting with the principal and teacher, or reach out to someone at your school district's office.

April 6, 1968
On this day in 1968, members of Pink Floyd announced that founder Sid Barrett had officially left the group due to his consistent psychiatric battles, as well as his drug use.
Barrett's downward spiral became clear to more than just the band in late 1967, when his heavy use of LSD and his off-beat antics were being displayed in front of the media and their audience. During a performance in San Francisco at the Fillmore, Barrett stopped playing and started slowly de-tuning his guitar during the song 'Interstellar Overdrive'. Occasionally, he would play just one chord continuously throughout an entire concert, while other times he would stand there and not play at all.
During interviews with such hosts as Dick Clark and Pat Boone, he would display himself with a childlike maturity, being extremely impolite leaving them both puzzled and irritated.
In November 1967, while on tour in the U.K. with Jimi Hendrix, Barrett was either not showing up to his shows or so inebriated that he was unable to perform. As a result, Pink Floyd had to ask David O'List from The Nice to stand in as Barrett's substitute on several occasions.
Christmas of 1967 would become a changing day in the future of Pink Floyd when Barrett's old schoolmate David Gilmour was asked to join the band as a second guitarist to cover for Barrett. By January 1968, the group joined in the decision that they were not going to pick Barrett up on the way to a show at Southampton University, realizing that he could add nothing to the live performance and that they no longer needed his him in the studio nor for his songwriting skills. A Saucerful of Secrets would be the last Pink Floyd album that Barrett would contribute material to, released in 1968.
It is said that Barrett was waiting in the reception area of the recording studio on numerous occasions hoping to be asked in by his old bandmates. He also started showing up at Pink Floyd shows where he would just stand and stare at Gilmour. After Barrett's departure from Pink Floyd, he would venture into a short-lived solo career, releasing two solo albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, both in 1970.
Sid Barrett and Pink Floyd would have one last "reunion" in 1975, when Barrett showed up during the Wish You Were Here recording sessions at Abbey Road. He was not invited and no one noticed him while he sat and watched the group record 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', a song that just happened to be written about Barrett. Barrett was 29 years old by this time and when his ex-band members finally realized who it was, they were saddened and shocked. Barrett had gained a good sum of weight and shaved the hair off of his head, as well as his eye brows. The band would use this experience for the character Pink (played by Bob Geldof) in the film The Wall.
His behaviour during most of the session was insane; he spent a good amount of the time brushing his teeth while standing. When asked by Waters what he thought of the song, he said simply, "Sounds a bit old."
He attended the reception for Gilmour's wedding, which took place immediately after recording was finished. Nevertheless, Barrett would leave early and without saying good-bye.
Sid Barrett would go on to be known in music history as a legend, as well as an outcast. He has inspired many of today's top musicians and I'm sure will continue to do so.
Sadly, he passed away on July 7, 2006 from pancreatic cancer. The occupation on his death certificate reads "retired musician".

We think science is based on facts and evidence. But from gravity to dark matter, string theory to parallel universes, its theories are curiously bereft of hard evidence. Is evidence less important than we think and conjecture alone capable of leading to greater understanding? Or has science dangerously drifted into fantasy?

Metal Trusses page
|A great benefit of Metal Trusses is the freedom to design trusses based on load demands or desired shapes, A truss only spanning 4′ wide meets 110MPH wind loads.
|Metal Trusses Benefits
Metal trusses can be designed and fabricated to meet almost any application. Light gauge trusses can achieve straight spans of up to 40' and weight anywhere from 33% to 200% lighter than there steel or wood counterparts. There is virtually zero waste involved in the fabrication process, which means cheaper overall material cost for the end user. Light gauge trusses will not warp, rot or split. Metal trusses really are the future of truss reliant building sustems.
B&M Metals Light Gauge Floor trusses can be manufactured to meet customer specifications. With straight spans of up to 20' and full spans up to 50', we can find the right light gauge floor truss for almost any job. Light gauge steel is up to 20% stronger per foot than wood and up to 33% lighter. This means less labor and less overall cost, while still providing a strong reliable truss system. Floor trusses are pre-fabricated and delivered on site ready to install.

Ethylene compounds of the coinage metals
Literature DiscussionSubmitted by Chip Nataro, Lafayette College
This is a literature discussion based on a short paper on ethylene compounds of the coinage metals (Dias, H. V. R.; Wu, J. Organometallics 2012, 31, 1511-1517). In this paper, analogous ethylene compounds are prepared with Cu(I), Ag(I) and Au(I). The other ligand on the coinage metal is a scorpionate tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand. The strength of the interaction between the metal and the ethylene varies significantly with the coinage metal as seen in X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic (1H and 13C NMR) data. A particularly interesting feature is the 1H NMR spectra of these compounds under an atmosphere of ethylene in which the coordinated ethylene can exchange rapidly with the free ethylene.
After completing this literature disussion LO students should be able to
- recognize and count electrons for compounds with scorpionate tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands
- explain how metals interact with the orbitals of an alkene
- describe the impact of the interaction of a metal with ethylene in terms of structural parameters and NMR data
- define coalescence and recognize how the rate of ligand exchange can impact the observed NMR spectrum
Students should read the paper before coming to class. I think I would see if they seek out the supporting information on their own rather than specifically hinting/suggesting/telling them to pay attention to it. Not having used this in class yet, my opinion on this could change.

Somm's Picks for July 2016
Indulge in a fruity and structured wine this summer such as Arrowood cab. A great value and sure crowd pleaser.
The incredibly concentrated dark red and blue fruit married with flinty minerality and hints of mocha make this one of the best Garnacha's in Spain!
The old vines that Breca come from were planted between 1925 and 1945.
– 91pts Robert Parker –
Not your average rose, with more red fruits joining the palate of citrus and white fruit and a touch more body. This is Provence rose evolved.
The climate of Provence is surprisingly cool due to the Alpine breeze known as the "Mistral" winds.
– 90pts Wine Enthusiast –
Cade Howell Mountain Cabernet 2012
Howell mountain is one of Napa's benchmark regions and Cade one of its best producers. Huge yet elegant, fruity yet refined, powerful and layered; this is another phenomenal 2012!
Cade has a very famous brother winery: Plumpjack. As of 2012, their family grew again with the addition of Odette Winery.
– 93pts Wine Spectator –
This Arrowood cab is the best they've made in years. Dark and rich yet approachable with layers of spice this is one you won't be able to put down.
Despite Napa being more famous than Sonoma, Sonoma was making wines more than 40 years before Napa.
– 90pts Vinous –
All of these wines were hand selected by our Somms Richard and Carlos Fonseca. For more information on any of these wines reach out to us on Facebook, or see us in the store.

"Its that time of the year again… Super Rugby!!"
Its that time of the year again for the southern hemisphere teams match up against each other. I personally don't see much difference between the three countries teams that will play each other.
There is an opportunity however for players to stand up and be counted especially in a world cup year! There maybe a last chance for one or two players to play themselves into a world cup squad .
Having looked at the squads' that will be representing their countries it looks like it will be a fairly even contest bar the top few teams who always dominate in super rugby ie Crusaders. Squad depth will be crucial and it proving a key aspect of most teams that make it too the playoffs. Unfortunately for teams like the Lions and western force making it to the play offs and putting in constant performances will always be a struggle if you don't have the depth in players.
Here are some of my picks for the superugby tournament
Top players' to watch out for:
· Sonni Bill
· Willie le roux
· Johan Goosen
· Pat lambie
· Genia
· Cooper
· Pocock
· Mvovo
Top 5 teams
· Crusaders
· Waratahs
· Chiefs
· Sharks
· Hurricanes
Let me know your thoughts on your top players and teams for 2015 ?

The Sprinturf crew did a great job and the communication the entire way was amazing! We are very excited about the finished product! Thank you for all that you and your crew have done. We can't wait to have our students play on it and our fans and community see it!
I wanted to say thanks for all of Sprinturf's help and guidance throughout our project. Our new field is awesome, can't believe there is a better quality turf, or a better looking field in the state of Iowa! Your installation crew was great, their attention to detail was outstanding and they took tremendous pride in making everything just right. Our players and our community are extremely excited, and we are anxious to get the season underway. I'm really glad that we ended up with Sprinturf at the end of the bidding process; there is no doubt in my mind that we got the best product at the best price.
I just want to thank each of you for the terrific job you and your crews did on our field. It was top notch! The attention to detail was greatly appreciated and noticed. Sprinturf had many, many praises from our School Board last night at our monthly meeting. We are very proud of our field and look forward to all the uses it will provide us.
"As you can see the Sprinturf installation is a tremendous asset to our School System and the City of Richmond. The Sprinturf Construction Team was able to install their total system in six weeks, completing the project on schedule, August 2nd, for the start of football practice. Our installation was flawless with no punch list items; we did have a small change order requested by the school. You can tell we are well pleased with Sprinturf and can highly recommend Sprinturf as a Company, their Product, and Construction Personnel."
"We selected Sprinturf over Field Turf and many other manufacturers because we concluded that Sprinturf most closely emulated natural grass in pristine condition. These fields will be used by our Major League Soccer team along with our many youth developmental academy teams."
"MSD of Perry Township in Indianapolis, IN installed a Sprinturf Ultrablade DF Elite with 100% rubber coolfill on our Football Stadium this Spring. Our facility is shared by our two High Schools and in years past, by late September or early August, the field was almost unplayable! Because of a generous donor we were able to install the turf and already it is getting used on an everyday basis with Football practice, PE classes and band practice! Sprinturf made this passive project very easy and enjoyable."
"The students have enjoyed playing on the new SprinTurf field during this school year. It has been a typical wet year, and no one has called me asking to return to the days of muddy clothes, and muddy footprints tracked up and down the hallways!"
"During the football season, we played Alpharetta High School and one of the coaches asked me if this was our new turf field at Harrison...he couldn't beloeve how well the SPRINTURF field had held up over the past seven years with usage by football, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field teams, as well as daily usage by the physical education department at Harrison High School."
"Ventura College has been pleased with its relationship with Sprinturf and its product in our state-of-the-art Sportsplex. For anyone considering your product, please feel free to give out my contact information for additional details."
"We are extremely pleased with the recently installed SPRINTURF Ultrablade DF turf field at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner, WA. The safety, playability and workmanship during installation were all excellent!

The 1965 Shelby Mustang/America at It's Best
By Pat Munro
The car released had a tubular frame with lightweight aluminum bodywork and a coil sprung chassis. It had a seven liter, 427 cubic inch V8, which could produce over 425 bhp at 6500 rpm. The top speed for the SC version (semi-competition) was 180 mph. It took only 4.2 seconds to go from 0-60 mph, what a car. Other features included a lowered front suspension with repositioned mounting points for fast-ratio steering, a steel bar connecting the front shock towers to improve rigidity and rear-traction bars located above the rear axle. These features gave the Shelby Cobra Mustang near neutral handling as opposed to other manufacturers strong under steer. They had to remove the rear seat to comply with the two-seater sports car rules in NorthAmerica, so they replaced it with a fiberglass panel which hid the spare tire. Other modifications were a trunk mounted battery, three-inch competition seat belts, a mahogany rimmed steering wheel and a dash mounted tachometer and oil pressure gauge. It has been said the Shelby Cobra Mustang started the 'muscle car' era. "Muscle car' referred to the awe-inspiring, compact cars fitted with huge engines which could accelerate like small rockets, the dream of every North American boy and girl.
Unfortunately the Shelby Mustang fell from grace by 1970. There were enormous amounts of accidents with the GTs, leading to high insurance rates, and cheaper, less refined cars broke into the market and took over. Today, many, like myself, consider the Shelby Mustang as a true blue, American classic. I've had the opportunity to drive one and the love affair took on new twist. I loved how it wasn't cluttered with useless gizmos and gadgets like automatic brake assist and traction control, adding an excitable fear to the sound of the roaring engine.
Today, the SC Mustang Cobras can reach as much as $1.5 million dollars at auction because of it's rareness. Due to the popularity of the car, replicas have flooded the market, kit car companies produce Cobra replicas which can be fitted with a variety of engines.

1. One of the superior courts of law; so called from a checkered cloth, which covers, or formerly covered, the table.
The exchequer was a court of law and equity. In the revenue department, it had jurisdiction over the proprietary rights of the crown against subjects; in the common law department, it administered justice in personal actions between subject and subject. A person proceeding against another in the revenue department was said to exchequer him. The judges of this court were one chief and four puisne barons, so styled. The Court of exchequer chamber sat as court of error in which the judgments of each of the superior courts of common law, in England, were subject to revision by the judges of the other two sitting collectively. Causes involving difficult questions of law were sometimes after argument, adjourned into this court from the other courts, for debate before judgment in the court below. Recent legislation in England (1880) has abolished the Court of exchequer and the Court of exchequer chamber, as distinct tribunals, a single board of judiciary, the high Court of justice, being established for the trial of all classes of civil cases.
2. The department of state having charge of the collection and management of the royal revenue. Hence, the treasury; and, colloquially, pecuniary possessions in general; as, the company's exchequer is low. Barons of the exchequer. See baron. Chancellor of the exchequer. See Chancellor.
(Science: engineering) exchequer bills or bonds, bills of money, or promissory bills, issued from the exchequer by authority of Parliament; a species of paper currency emitted under the authority of the government, and bearing interest.

Released Monday, Chop Not Slop Radio: Chopstars Radio Vol. 2 is available on iTunes Chopped Not Slopped by DJ Candlestick and OG Ron C, as well as regular speed. First and foremost, every single track featured on Chopstars Radio Vol. 2 is absolutely amazing. From artists like reppatwa all the way from London, Mercy out of Florida, Adonis from North Carolina, Mickey Woods Jr. from Port Arthur and more, to what happens to be my favorite part, the plethora of Houston based artists featured on the tape. I have to admit, most of the artists/tracks featured on the project are ones I happen to be a big fan of so understand where my excitement comes from. Nique, Spuf Don, Jonquel, Noah Nova, Cooley Kimble and Zavey are all straight out of Houston and Chopstars Radio Vol. 2 does the perfect job of showcasing how talented they all are. Aside from my excitement regarding the quality of music both submitted by these independent artists and pushed by the Chopstars on Chopstars Radio Vol. 2, the array of sounds on the tape make it evident that there is no lack of talent out here and worldwide. There is something for everyone on this project. Whether you want something slow or something to stand on couches at the club to, they got you. Make sure you check out all the artists mentioned above and add them to your "artists to watch list" (seriously, trust me). Also, keep up with The Chopstars, they have been working hard already in 2017 and don't show any signs of slowing down. Get Chop Not Slop Radio: Chopstars Radio Vol. 2 on iTunes.

How To Tackle Greasy Hair
Your email has been successfully sent to the recipent.
Oily hair and scalp are really common, but frustrating, problems. However, it's easy to solve greasy hair with a few simple steps.
The key to solving oily hair is to maintain good hair and scalp health, as well as to focus on your diet to make sure you're eating theright foods.
Here are 4 ways to make it part of your daily regimen, to keep your hair looking and feeling smooth and silky:
1) Wash at least four times per week – your body makes scalp oil all day and night, every day of the year. By washing your hairfrequently, you can remove the oils that accumulate. In the summer or during periods of high humidity you may want to wash more often,as heat and sweat can spread scalp oil and make an oily hair problem worse.
2) Choose a shampoo that deeply cleans both scalp and hair – your shampoo needs to take care of your scalp as well as your hair. Head & Shoulders' Deep Clean shampoo deeply clean your scalp and hair to remove excess oil, while eliminating dandruff.
3) Avoid excess sun exposure – your body reacts to sun exposure by sweating, which can spread scalp oil further downthe hair strands, making an oily hair problem worse.
4) Limit fat in your diet and avoid excess carbohydrates – we all know that unhealthy lifestyle choices, like poordiet and sleep, are bad for your overall health. Some studies have suggested that diets high in fat, or high in carbohydrates, canincrease the production of skin oils. So to keep your scalp healthy, choose a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits and leanprotein.

Hello lovelies!
I usually spend my Sundays watching films, eating a tonne of food and generally avoiding leaving the house as much as possible. But in the last couple of months I've discovered a new hobby which has quickly become the highlight of my week.
Every Sunday morning, without fail, my friend Mollie and I text each other saying "HAPPY SALSA SUNDAY!" It was her who got me into salsa lessons in the first place, dragging me along to her Sunday evening class with the promise of "It'll be fun, you'll love it!"
I was pretty sceptical. I'm not a natural dancer, and the thought of dancing with a guy I'd never met before, without falling flat on my face... It set my anxiety going a little bit to be honest.
At Cubana's, there are three classes you can have a go at; beginners, improvers and advanced. You're all paired up and as the class goes on, you rotate around the room, changing partners every few minutes. It seems scary, but it basically forces you to chat to new people and get to know them, which is basically how I've made friends! The beginners' class really breaks down every step, and the teacher is fantastic and doesn't move on until everyone has got it, which is really helpful when you're new to salsa.
After the classes, there's social dancing, there's social dancing, where we ask each other to dance (cute, right?) and we practice and chat. This part of Salsa Sunday is really fun and I love picking up tips from more advanced dancers. You seem to learn something from everyone you dance with, which then makes you a better dancer.
Salsa Sundays have built my confidence and helped me make so many new friends, I love having this extra social circle. And despite my previous doubts, I am actually getting better at the dancing bit! I tried the improvers' class for the first time last week, and although it was much more fast-paced and the steps were more complicated, I just about managed to keep up!
I still have a lot to work on though, at the minute my issue is turns. I can't turn, at all. I either spin the wrong way and confuse my partner, or spin way too enthusiastically and completely lose control of the turn and nearly fall over. Sometimes, it's a combination of both.
Have any of you ever tried salsa?

No matter whether it's been caused by heat, chemicals, friction or electrical energy, you'd be lucky if you hadn't suffered at least a minor burn some time in your life. But while most are—with luck—merely superficial and require some topical ointment, deep and/or widespread burns can inflict serious injury and affect structures deeper than the skin level.
Our course of treatment will depend very much on the area, depth and severity of the burn. After a thorough assessment, we'll then create a treatment plan specifically for you, which could be as simple as conservative management by dressings, or as serious as a skin graft, if required.

Zenphorol Review Summary
As explained in our full Zenphorol review, Zenphorol is a very popular anti-anxiety supplement. Unfortunately though, we don't think it deserves its popularity. It is a pretty weak anxiolytic, and many of the good ingredients it contains can be sourced elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.
It isn't meant as a replacement for pharmaceutical-grade mood drugs; anyone suffering with serious stress or depression problems needs to consult a qualified doctor.
Where To Buy Zenphorol
I'd always buy this stuff directly from the manufacturer. I don't think there's any real price difference when buying it from Amazon anyway.
Full Zenphorol Review
Zenphorol is specifically designed to help people deal with stress and anxiety without turning to prescription medication.
The company website states that it is a "natural alternative to anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs". This is a really great approach to take when designing supplements.
Far too many people struggle with very mild anxiety or mood issues and eventually find themselves taking prescription medication that is far too strong for them.
This is apparently quite an acute problem in parts of the US, where overzealous practitioners will push people onto anti-depressants that they then struggle to come off.
I suspect that in many cases, people don't have severe enough depression to warrant strong drugs. Instead, they would probably benefit more from getting more sleep, working less, meeting some new people, and sorting their diet out. That final part is where natural supplementation can also come into play.
Nutribioticals, who also make Optineuro, claims that Zenphorol can:
- Reduce symptoms of depression and panic attacks
- Boost mood
- Aid restful sleep
- Promote both mental and physical well-being
If you're looking for a natural, healthy way to help with mild anxiety or depressive symptoms, then this sounds like a superb supplement.
There's only one question left to answer: can Zenphorol deliver on its promises?
Let's take a closer look at the Zenphorol formula and user reviews to find out. Here's our full Zenphorol review.
Zenphorol Formula
As mentioned above, Nutribioticals also make Optineuro, a pretty solid natural nootropic stack designed to enhance focus and memory.
While the Optineuro reviewer found a few flaws with the stack, the quality of the ingredients gives us high hopes for Zenphorol.
Let's take a look at the Zenphorol formula:
Unlike most of the other reviews on this site, a Zenphorol review needs to focus less on the cognition enhancing effects of the ingredients, and more on the stack's ability reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
That is what Zenphorol has been designed for: to help you overcome or keep a lid on the symptoms of being over-worked and over-burdened.
So, with that in mind, what do we notice first about the Zenphorol ingredient list?
The first thing I notice is that it is a relatively simple, straightforward, no-nonsense formula. This is always great to see; there's nothing worse than a stack with 80 ingredients with obscure, exotic sounding names, none of which do very much.
The makers of Zenphorol have instead used a handful of key herbal extracts, and backed them up with a B vitamin complex.
Of these key ingredients, we think two or three will be responsible for most of the anxiolytic effects of Zenphorol:
5HTP (303mg): 5HTP is the natural precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for producing feelings of empathy, happiness, and well-being. It is the by-product of tryptophan, and as such can be seen as the "bridge" between tryptophan and serotonin. 5HTP is also a precursor to melatonin; the hormone that regulates proper sleeping patterns. As such, 5HTP has long been used as a more natural alternative to synthetic sleep and anti-depressant drugs. However, we aren't convinced that oral 5-HTP supplementation can influence 5-HTP levels in the body.
Inositol (200mg): On an ingredient list, Inositol usually means Myo-Inositol. This stuff seems to be a really impressive anxiolytic (anxiety-buster). Although it is found in food, its anxiolytic effects seem to manifest themselves at doses above 200mg, so a daily supplement of that amount should be sufficient to feel some of the stress-relieving benefits (assuming your diet is on-point).
Chamomile (300mg): I'm sure you've heard the old wives tale about chamomile tea being good for helping you relax? Well, turns out it isn't so much of an old wives tale as it is solid advice. Chamomile contains two flavones, luteolin and apigenin, that work together to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Apigenin's anxiolytic effects are well-known, and it is even thought to act as a sedative at high doses. Interestingly, it is found in abundance in chamomile and Bacopa monnieri.
L-Theanine (200mg): L-Theanine is a tried and tested relaxant. It works to reduce stress, but crucially, it does not seem to have any sedative properties. For those of you with a caffeine addiction, supplementing with theanine can be very useful. It works alongside caffeine, helping to take off some of its less desirable effects without making it any less of a potent stimulant. A lot of people suffering with mild stress symptoms might find that their nervousness is down to over-consumption of caffeine.
What about the other ingredients?
As far as saffron extract goes, we don't know how this contributes to lowering the perception of stress and anxiety.
We have certainly seen no evidence to suggest that it helps with combating the symptoms of stress, and we have never heard it mentioned by anyone in that regard before.
However, it's important to note that it does not constitute a large part of the stack. It might be a problem if it took up a significant portion of the stack to the detriment of more effective ingredients, but it doesn't. No harm done.
The same is true with lemon balm as far as we're concerned.
The other ingredients simply amount to a B vitamin stack, which will undoubtedly help you feel more energetic, focused, happy and healthy.
B vitamins are all obtainable form food (unless you're a vegan), so deficiency is rare. However, there's no real harm in making sure you;re sufficiently topped up. If you're looking for supplements to help you stay calm and focused, B vitamins might be just what you need!

Zenphorol Side Effects
We can't see anything in the Zenphorol formula that gives us cause for concern.
It only contains natural, widely used ingredients that are regarded as safe for practically everyone. None of the ingredients used in Zenphorol are usually associated with adverse side effects.
The B vitamins are even in sensible doses; a refreshing change for a nootropic stack!
The only slight concern is the 5-HTP content. We don't think it is necessarily wise to mess around with your 5-HTP levels if you don't have a diagnosed mood disorder.
That said, 5-HTP supplementation doesn't actually seem to be all that effective at influencing 5-HTP availability in the brain, so there's little chance of doing serious harm!
As always though, please do consult a medical professional before taking anything new.
This is true of all anti-anxiety supplements. If you think you have a real medical problem, visit a doctor, not the internet!
Zenphorol: Value For Money?
A Zenphorol review must eventually touch on the price.
This does seem like a good quality natural supplement. It should work as described (although there's always some over-sell with these products).
However, at £39.99 a bottle, this stuff sure is expensive for what you get.
The manufacturer is clearly a reputable, trustworthy vendor. Zenpohorol is made in the UK, and the merchant page is flush with all sorts of guarantees to put your mind at rest.
There's also a very reasonable money back guarantee in place. If you're not happy with the product after 14 capsules, you can send it back and get a full refund.
But still, £39.99 for a B vitamin complex, Inositol, 5HTP and chamomile extract seems a bit much. That's over $50 for a supplement that provides an awful lot of ingredients that can be found easily in food and teas. Even 5-HTP can be found for a great deal less than that.
We're not saying it isn't worth paying premium for high quality supplements. This is simply the main flaw with this product.
-Best Natural Treatments For Anxiety-
Zenphorol Review Conclusion: Should I Buy It?
If you're looking for a natural way to reduce anxiety, then you could certainly do worse than Zenphorol. There's nothing offensive about this product, and nothing that seriously warns us off it.
It contains a handful of carefully selected ingredients, that should work in combination to produce an anxiolytic (stress reducing) effect.
These ingredients are 100% natural, widely used, and seem to be safe for just about everybody.
The only problem is that some of the ingredients aren't particularly effective.
It is missing some key natural anxiolytics, and some of the ingredients it does contain have very little effect on mood.
All-in-all, Zenphorol could be a lot stronger.
That said, too many people end up on powerful prescription drugs that they don't need. Zenphorol could be a great option for anyone with mild mood or stress symptoms who doesn't want to turn to synthetic drugs as their first option.
