The joint health and safety committee (JHSC) is one of the key components of an OHS program. In some ways, the committee's effectiveness can determine the program's effectiveness. JHSCs are also highly regulated under OHS law. So it's easy to get tripped up and violate the many JHSC requirements. To help you avoid such violations, here are answers to 14 questions safety professionals frequently have about JHSCs.
14 JHSC FAQs
A The OHS laws spell out which workplaces require a JHSC (or a health and safety representative). Although there are some variations across Canada, the establishment of a JHSC usually depends primarily on how many workers are in the workplace:
- Zero to four workers: Neither a JHSC nor a health and safety representative are required;
- Five to 20 workers: A health and safety representative is required; and
- More than 20 workers: A JHSC is required.
There are exceptions, of course. For example, in Alberta, a workplace must establish a JHSC only if the government orders it to do so. In addition, there may be situations in which one JHSC can represent several workplaces, but that's uncommon.
Insider Says: It's not always easy to determine whether a company's operations constitute one or multiple workplaces and thus whether it needs a JHSC. Take this quiz to see if you can tell if a lumber company needs a JHSC.
A The number of members a JHSC must have varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But there are three basic approaches:
- Minimum number: A few jurisdictions set a minimum number of required members, ranging from two to four. Of course, a workplace can always have more members than the minimum if it so chooses;
- Range: Other jurisdictions set a range, specifying the minimum and maximum number of members, which gives workplaces some flexibility. The usual range is four to 12 members; and
- As agreed: Some jurisdictions let the workers and management decide for themselves how many members the JHSC should have.
A There are two kinds of JHSC members: worker representatives and management representatives. That's because under the Internal Responsibility System (IRS), both workers and management play a role in identifying and eliminating workplace hazards. Remember, the "J" in JHSC stands for "joint"—that is, the committee is intended to be a joint undertaking between management and workers.
Once you know or decide how many total members the JHSC must have, you must ensure that the breakdown of worker v. management members complies with the law. The OHS laws generally require there to be at least as many worker representatives as management representatives on the JHSC. But some jurisdictions let workers have more representatives than management.
A Most OHS laws require a JHSC to have two co-chairpersons, one representing workers and the other representing management. The key duty of the co-chairs is planning for and running the JHSC meetings. And some jurisdictions specify that they must take turns doing so. The co-chairpersons may also take on other duties, such as being the liaison between the JHSC and management.
A The answer to this question is complicated. The JHSC has a lot of responsibility. Its members are expected to help identify workplace hazards, develop incident prevention programs and policies, and address worker safety concerns. To perform these functions effectively, JHSC members may need and should get special training.
That being said, the OHS laws don't always require JHSC training. The jurisdictions take five approaches to this issue:
- Require all JHSC members to get training;
- Require JHSC leaders, such as co-chairpersons or "certified members" in Ontario, to get training;
- Require employers to allow all JHSC members to get training;
- Require employers to allow JHSC leaders to get training; and
- Recommend that JHSC members get training.
Bottom line: Having an ineffective JHSC may be worse than having no committee at all. So it's in your best interests to ensure that the JHSC members are adequately prepared to perform all of their functions. The best way to do so is to ensure they get trained on:
- The IRS and the role of the JHSC and its members within it;
- A "plain English" overview of the OHS laws and related regulations in your jurisdiction;
- Health and safety basics;
- The JHSC's roles and responsibilities under the law;
- The JHSC's rules of procedure and requirements, such as number of members it must have, how often it must meet and so on;
- The company's workplace safety policies and programs;
- The hazards specific to your workplace and your industry;
- The role of the JHSC in inspections, hazard identification, investigations, worker complaints and work refusals; and
- Basic problem-solving strategies and communications skills.
A Workers should be paid for being on the JHSC. After all, although attending a JHSC meeting may not be a member's usual work assignment, it's still a work-related function and an important one. As a result, the OHS laws typically require workers to be paid or specify that they shouldn't lose pay or benefits for time spent on JHSC duties, such as preparing for and attending committee meetings and conducting workplace inspections.
A The best way to run a JHSC is by setting "rules of procedure" (also called "terms of reference") for its operations. In fact, some OHS laws require JHSCs to have their own rules of procedure. The rules should be comprehensive and address all of the JHSC's functions at a minimum, including:
- Committee membership, such as how long members serve;
- Meetings, including how conflicts will be resolved;
- Inspections and investigations;
- Recommendations to the employer;
- Work refusals; and
- Training.
Even if your jurisdiction doesn't require rules of procedure, your JHSC should have them anyway. Rules provide structure that allows the committee to function well. For example, when a situation such as a safety incident or work refusal arises, JHSC members won't have to improvise. Instead, there will already be a system in place to help them effectively respond to that situation.
Insider Says: For more information on JHSC rules of procedure, see "The Joint Health & Safety Committee: What Are 'Rules of Procedure' & Why Your Committee Needs Them?" June 2010, p. 1. And you can download a checklist of the areas your JHSC's rules of procedure should cover, a questionnaire for use when developing rules of procedure and model rules of procedure.
A The most basic function of a JHSC is holding regular meetings. As a result, the OHS laws not only require JHSCs to conduct regular meetings but also spell out detailed requirements for those meetings, including how often they must be held. The jurisdictions generally require committees to hold either monthly or quarterly meetings, that is, once every three months. In addition, some jurisdictions require a JHSC to hold an initial meeting soon after it's established and then meet regularly thereafter. This first meeting may need to be held anywhere from within 10 days to one month after the JHSC is established.
Note that the OHS law sets the minimum frequency for regular meetings. JHSCs can decide to meet more often than required. In fact, JHSCs, especially those in particularly hazardous workplaces, should consider meeting monthly even if they're not required by law to do so. And the committee may also need to occasionally hold special meetings, such as after a safety incident, to address a work refusal or to plan for the following year.
A In general, JHSC meetings should be run according to an agenda that's given to members before the meeting. Although the co-chairs generally set the agenda, they shouldn't monopolize it. That is, the co-chairs should add items based on suggestions from other members, management and workers. A typical JHSC regular meeting agenda includes:
- A review of the minutes of the last meeting;
- A review of old business;
- A discussion of the most recent workplace inspection;
- A discussion of safety concerns raised by the workers;
- A discussion of new business, such as recent safety incidents, new equipment in the workplace, changes in the OHS laws or government orders;
- A discussion of any seasonal issues, such as cold stress in the winter and heat stress in the summer; and
- Decisions on how to address new issues, such as determining if any formal recommendations should be made to the employer about identified safety hazards.
A Yes. Every jurisdiction requires the JHSC to keep minutes of its meetings. The minutes should be used not only to summarize what occurred in the meeting but also to document the JHSC's performance of its functions and compliance with its duties under the OHS laws. In addition, the meeting minutes could be valuable evidence of due diligence if the company is charged with an OHS violation.
As to the form of the minutes, some jurisdictions have specific minutes forms that the JHSC must use, while others let committees use whatever form they want. Either way, the JHSC should make its meeting minutes available to all workers. In fact, the OHS laws may require you to post them in the workplace. In addition, you may have to provide them to a government safety inspector on request.
Insider Says: For more information on JHSC meeting requirements, see "The Joint Health & Safety Committee: How to Comply with JHSC Meeting Requirements," April 2009, p. 11. And you can download a meeting template.
A The OHS laws generally require JHSCs to conduct workplace inspections or to participate in inspections conducted by the employer. How often they must do so depends on the jurisdiction and the nature of the workplace.
Some OHS laws specify how often workplaces must be inspected, such as monthly or at least once before each regular JHSC meeting. But others simply require "regular" inspections or inspections at "reasonable intervals." What does that mean? The answer varies depending on the size of the workplace and the level of risk involved in the operations. In many cases, monthly inspections will be adequate. And in low risk workplaces, such as office settings, quarterly inspections may be sufficient. But high risk workplaces or high risk areas within workplaces may need to be inspected more frequently—even if monthly inspections are all that the OHS law requires. For example, you might inspect the assembly line in a factory weekly, but only inspect its administrative offices a few times a year.
A The basic goal of a JHSC inspection is to identify safety hazards or potential safety hazards. While conducting the inspection, the members should not only look for hazards themselves but also speak to workers and supervisors about any safety issues or concerns they may have. Any identified safety hazards should be documented. The JHSC should discuss in its next meeting ways to address the identified hazards and make recommendations to the employer on how to do so. And then during the next inspection, the members should note whether the previously identified hazards have been properly addressed.
Insider Says: For more on JHSCs and inspections, see "The Joint Health & Safety Committee: Part 1: The Committee's Role in Workplace Inspections," Sept. 2007, p. 1 and "The Joint Health & Safety Committee: Part 2: Five Steps for Effective Workplace Inspections," Oct. 207, p. 1. And you can download and adapt a workplace inspection worksheet for use during JHSC inspections.
A Say a pinchpoint in a piece of machinery is identified during a JHSC inspection. The committee recommends that the employer install a machine guard on that equipment. Must the employer do so? It depends. The OHS laws generally require employers to consider and typically respond, usually in writing, to all JHSC recommendations. But they don't require employers to adopt all recommendations. For example, some recommendations may be unrealistic or too costly. However, if the JHSC recommends that the employer do something that the OHS law requires, such as installing machine guards to protect workers from pinchpoints, the employer must implement the recommendation.
Insider Says: For more handling JHSC recommendations, see "Minimize Liability Risks When Rejecting Unrealistic JHSC Recommendations," July 2005, p. 1.
A Bill C-45 changed the application of the criminal negligence section of the Criminal Code as it applied to workplace safety incidents, making it easier to hold anyone who undertakes, or has the authority, to direct how another person does work or performs
a task criminally liable if someone is injured or killed. Although the law was supposed to be targeted at members of senior management, such as officers and directors, the broad language has made some in the safety profession worry that it could be applied to others, such as members of the JHSC.
In theory, the law could be applied to JHSC members. But in reality, the risk of liability for criminal negligence for JHSC members is low. That's because the JHSC is generally empowered only to make recommendations that the employer can accept or reject, conduct inspections and investigate incidents. However, that risk can increase to the extent the JHSC imposes its will on management and actually dictates how operations are carried out. In other words, the more the JHSC is running the show, the more it's exposed to the risk of possible criminal liability.
It's critical that safety coordinators understand the requirements in the OHS laws for JHSCs and take steps to ensure that their committees comply with these requirements. Doing so will not only avoid liability for safety violations but also help the JHSC do its job well and thus improve overall safety in the workplace.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A coalition of health and business groups is renewing its push for Indiana lawmakers to increase the state's cigarette tax by $2 per pack.
The Raise It for Health Coalition held a rally last week at the Statehouse and 14 other events around the state to launch its latest campaign for the tax hike.
Indiana has one of the nation's highest smoking rates, with 1 million Hoosiers smoking every day, but its 99.5 cents a pack cigarette tax is the nation's 14th-lowest.
The coalition argues that raising that tax is the simplest and most effective way to reduce smoking rates and improve Indiana's health.
The group says that a $2-per-pack increase would raise more than $350 million to invest in Indiana's workforce, improve its business climate and reduce tobacco use.

100 Great Black Britons
It's been 16 years since the initial launch of 100 Great Black Britons, when in 2004, Mary Seacole was voted the Greatest Black Briton of all time. We are now relaunching the campaign for 2019! Over the last decade there has been an increasing demand for a follow up campaign and list; and in the wake of the Brexit referendum decision, the 100 Great Black Britons campaign is more relevant now than ever. Once again, this campaign seeks to ensure the continued legacy and achievement of Black people in Britain. Furthermore, during the last 16 years, academics and independent scholars have discovered new Black British historical figures, and there has been an emergence of new role models and icons since the last campaign in 2004.
The campaign will also provide an opportunity for reassessment and reflection on what makes a Great Black Briton and how we recognise unsung heroes who may not have the profile and the coverage about their impact and legacy. Closing dates for nominations will be 1st December 2019. Results will be announced for Black History Month 2020 alongside the launch of the upcoming publication and board game.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: "I'm delighted to see the relaunch of 100 Great Black Britons. Black Londoners have played an important role in the success of our city for centuries, but for too long the contribution of Britons of African and Caribbean heritage have been underestimated, undervalued and overlooked.
From Mary Prince becoming the first woman to present a petition to Parliament to Sir Trevor McDonald anchoring the News at Ten, generations of black Britons have blazed a trail. It is only right that we once again come together to recognise and celebrate them."Nominate

My Thesis Last week, I submitted a paper to the Journal of Food Science. My hope is they will publish my research paper, GRAS use of Flavor Substances: Risk Management. In 2013, I began a this research project as part of my curriculum for a Masters in Food Safety. At the time, I did not realize how difficult it is to choose, justify, conduct research and write a paper. Blogging is much easier than publishing a scientific peer reviewed research paper. Blogs require the writer to click the publish button and there is no reformatting and peer review. Therefore, because it is much easier to post a convincing opinion on the web than publish a peer reviewed scientific paper, social media wins the war on science.

Antifreeze added to food and drink?
More than one application Amyl acetate is a fairly inexpensive flavor chemical that smells like banana. I took a small bottle of this aromatic chemical from my flavor lab to use at home. Why? Because Amyl acetate is also a spot and stain remover. Some dry cleaners refer to this spot remover for paint or ink as "banana oil". When I found out a chemical I used to make food flavors was used as a dry cleaning chemical, I was alarmed. Then, once I realized I could inexpensively and quickly salvage my children's paint stained school clothes with a small bottle of "banana oil", I relaxed. Chemicals or ingredients that are safe to use in food are found in non-food applications. Recently, I discovered a flavor carrier, propylene glycol, is … [Read more...]
Smoke flavor
Ribs My husband is trying to kill me. Slowly, like the way he smokes ribs on the barbecue. He loves smoke flavor and he has mastered the art of smoking and slow cooking meat. I find a touch of smoke flavor good, but I am certain too much is bad for you. Commercial Smoke Flavor Smoke flavor is made on a large scale and sold to bacon, ham, hot dog, rib, cheese, sauce and flavor manufacturers. Besides imparting flavor and color, smoke flavor is functional. It creates the skin of the hot dog, it is an antioxidant and an antimicrobial. Smoke flavor manufacturers buy lots of sawdust and burn it. They control the burn and capture the essence generated by the smoke. Sawdust is from wood which is about 40-60% cellulose and 2-30% lignin. … [Read more...]

GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) refers to food additives used in the USA. Our laws dictate that all ingredients added to our foods must be GRAS. We constantly add new GRAS materials to our food supply and many of these additives are flavor ingredients.

"The Sky is Falling"
Society claims that flavor chemists are "people who add chemicals to foods" and that food safety specialists are "people who worry too much". In a recent Food Safety program I attended, one professor stated "food safety professionals can be compared to Chicken Little running around claiming the sky is falling". Worry can be un-healthy, but exists for a reason. My daughter suffers from excess worry and anxiety, something normal for a child that has endured a major illness.

My family doesn't want our money back,we love it, especially my 5 year old. She had 2 cups on her first try, with her only complaint the lack of bright pink color. As her mommy, though, I was relieved to see the more natural light pink hue in the soy milk. The lack of neon pink color meant to me that the product is colored with natural fruit and vegetable extracts.

Not far from Place Bellcour you can see a Bell Tower and the entrance to Place Antonin-Poncet. This beautiful town square has fountains, grassy areas and a colourful sculpture of a flower bouquet. It's a great space to relax, have a picnic or simply people watch. On one side you get a spectaclur view of the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvieve up on the hill and on the other it's just a few steps to the Rhone River.
Place Antonin Poncet is a beautiful square with much historical significance for Lyon. Standing from one end (the river end) and look into the interesting landscaping with the basilica in the background makes for a nice photo op. There are several restaurants and cafes to enjoy this view along the square.

Net Energy Metering Incentive
All solar customers will be enrolled in EBCE's Net Energy Metering (NEM) rate, which is substantially similar to PG&E's NEM rate. EBCE provides an additional incentive to low income and municipal customers who have installed a solar system after 6/1/18 (full retail credit plus $0.01/kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every solar kWh exported to the grid).
Peak Day Pricing Program (PDP-EBCE)
EBCE's PDP program offers its commercial customers an incentive to reduce energy consumption during the most expensive days of the year. Businesses participating in this voluntary program not only save money but help lower costs for all customers while increasing the reliability of California's electricity supply.
Battery Energy Storage Demand Response Pilot
To reduce peak energy procurement costs, EBCE is offering customers with existing battery energy storage systems and operators/aggregators of those systems the opportunity to participate in this pilot program. Systems that discharge power during peak energy periods will receive compensation from EBCE.
Reach Codes
EBCE is committed to the electrification of the built environment and transportation sector to meet California's climate action goals. In support of our local government partners developing supportive codes, EBCE is providing technical assistance and a $10,000 grant to communities that successfully pass reach codes that would be implemented by January 1, 2020.
Energy Efficiency Data
EBCE has invested in a powerful database that enables administrators and implementers of energy efficiency, demand response, and energy management programs to access information that increases building upgrades in Alameda County. This data is also valuable to EBCE's local government partners who are developing greenhouse gas inventories.
Solar+Storage on Critical Facilities
EBCE is leading a grant-funded project to assess solar and battery energy storage options to increase resilience in times of emergency. Working with Peninsula Clean Energy, critical municipal facilities are being inventoried throughout Alameda and San Mateo counties. EBCE plans to size solar + storage systems to meet critical loads at priority facilities, and will evaluate options for broad scale project deployment with stakeholders.

The hero of the game "Office Rage" is a clerk in a white shirt, who was working for a long time in a very boring job. As he did not like his job, he was not very good at it. No wonder then, that his employer got tired of this lazy employee one day and decided to fire him.

It's been a real "old-fashioned" winter here in Iowa this year (although I'm not sure what the term means–is that, like, pre-global-warming?). 50 some inches with several very serious ice storms thrown in for good measure in mid-december. Temperatures lately have been hovering between 10 below and 10 above. This last snow storm in particular was far too cold for salt on the roads to do anything. We've been driving on solid ice rather than road surface. My drive to Mt. Vernon on a nice, scenic rural route has been like Siberian permafrost, drifting shut every night with snow piles higher than my little mazda on both sides of the road. The driving in particular I think is wearing Iowans down.
That said, I've really been loving it. It is absolutely beautiful and my drive home at sunset the other night with wispy sundogs flaring through the frozen atmosphere was absolutely transcendental, the fields of drifting snow in the blue twilight like the sea rolling in toward the road. We've been out hiking many times in the bitterly cold and really there's nothing like it. Sounds take on a different texture; the crystalline world reflecting every possible fragment of light. For me, winter is great as long as it stays winter. Once it starts pretending to be spring but really only offering days of damp bone-chilling grayness (I find those damp days in the low 30s much more unbearable than the dry subzero days), then my spirit begins to sag a bit. But that's march; here in the frozen tundra of February I'm happy. And even in the deepest midwinter, I found myself walking across campus yesterday morning, brilliant sunshine and a balmy 5 below and there they were: the cardinals have started their spring songs and several were belting them out at full volume. Quite surreal and wonderful.
My only complaint then with all this serious weather is I have nowhere left to throw any snow. One more serious snow and I just may lose my back. Here's a sample:

PAYPER is your perfect partner when it comes to bagging and palletizing lines. Our business is to develop, adapt and manufacture modern and reliable bagging solutions.
PAYPER was established in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain) in 1973. We are pioneers in Spain and from the very beginning we have specialized in design and manufacturing of machinery for weighing, bagging and palletizing solutions.
At present, we are the largest manufacturer in the Spanish bagging industry and among the biggest in Europe. Our team of close to 100 highly skilled professionals are always working to meet the global market's current demands in terms of cost-effective and reliable equipment.
PAYPER develops and manufactures bagging machines for all types of bulk solids such as powders or granulates. Other important product lines are palletizers and complete lines.
Main sectors
- Mining
- Building Industry
- Petrochemical Industry
- Chemical Industry
- Fertilizer Industry
- Animal feed
- Food Products for Human Consumption
- Non-Food Crops
Dosing and weighing
No matter the nature of the product, free-flowing or not, powdery, flakes or granulates, payper has the adequate weighing & dosing solution.
Two principles are applicable for weighing and dosing:
- gross weight: the product is weighed directly in the bag. Mainly used for lower speeds.
- net weight: the product is weighed in the pan prior to release into the bag. This is generally used to improve speed and accuracy.Dosing and weighing
During more than 40 years Payper have delivered bagging solutions to clients operating in so diverse fields as the petrochemical industry and the animal food industry.
Our wide range of bagging machines enables us to provide solutions to many different industries: mining, building, petrochemical, chemical and fertilizer industries. Further, payper is one of the important suppliers in the sectors of food for human consumption, animal feed and non-food crops. We have machinery for all kinds of bags: ffs, open mouth, valve bags and big bags.
Quality and reliability are the keywords when we talk of long-term business relations and we are proud to say that we have clients in more than 75 countries all over the world.Bagging
Once the bags are filled, closed and quality checked they have to be palletized before being transported to their destination. The quality of the palletization is a key issue for safe long-distance transport. Payper offers the right palletizer for all different needs.
Payper always has the right solution for a high-quality palletization no matter what type of bags are to be palletized. High infeed level palletizers are very suitable for high speed bagging lines. The conventional high-level infeed palletizer top load pm is perfectly adapted for valve bags or ffs bags at medium and high speed.
The high-level infeed palletizer top load gm is also the perfect solution for open mouth bags because it allows the overlapping of the bag mouth at medium speed.
The robotic solution rob load is the right solution for multiline palletizing or for combining the pallet distribution, slip sheet placing onto empty pallets and the stacking of the bags.
End of Line and Complementary Equipment
Once the bag is filled and closed with our state of the art in-line quality control equipment you can assure your client that the content of the delivered bags is totally guaranteed.
Automatic quality control devices are the perfect equipment to add to your lines to assure your customers that they get unpolluted product at the correct weight which will bring confidence to the customer.
To ensure safe transport and the highest level of protection to the products during storage a protective film is wrapped or hooded over the pallet to complete the job.

Jacob's New Name
Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s),
This week in The Gospel Project for Kids, kids heard a story about what happens when God changes someone's heart. Jacob, you may remember, didn't start off very well. He was a lying deceiver who looked out only for his own interests. Nevertheless, God changed Jacob through quite a challenging circumstance.
Jacob separated from his brother and lived away for 20 years. During that time he had a family—a very large family! God compelled Jacob to return to his hometown in order to see Esau. Jacob learned that Esau was coming but that he had a large contingent of men with him. Jacob sent his family ahead of him and camped by a river.
During the night, Jacob wrestled with an angel who turned out to be God. In that meeting with God, God changed Jacob. In the morning, Jacob crossed the river. Instead of hiding behind his family in case Esau's approaching group attacked, Jacob led his family to what was a glorious reunion.
Jacob's meeting with God changed his life as reflected in his new name, Israel. Jesus came so that we might have a changed life, forgiven of sin (2 Cor. 5:17). Jesus' death and resurrection provided sinful people with the way to be adopted into God's family. When we are adopted into the family of God, we also receive a new name—children of God (John 1:12).

Must have pattern, great fit
its great and i love it.
I wanted to try one of your patterns before buying others to see how they fit the AG Welley and I must say the pattern was easy to sew, fit well and my little girl is happy her doll has new Ts. My only hang up and this is minor is finding the narrow Velcro but I just used the readily available velcro cut in half works fine. I will be buying more patterns. Thank you for creating them
Easy pattern but very snug for a Wellie Wisher. Added a bit at the back and that helped but the sleeves still fit snug. Since this wasn't designed for this particular doll, that could account for the fit.

Life After Twin Bamboo Sheets
- December 27, 2017

Shopping for the correct sort of bed sheets may be an overwhelming experience. When looking for a blacksmith hammers, a cross peen is a great selection. It's not essential to have a full shop full of tools to get started blacksmithing. Examine the label for the pocket dimensions and you'll be a lot happier with your buy. Buying best cheap sheets is a huge investment and shouldn't be dismissed. When you take a look at the authentic price of cotton and bamboo, you will discover that they are extremely close alike.
The mixture of Egyptian and bamboo fabrics deliver additional comfort and advantages. Several factors have an effect on the quality of sheets you buy. There are lots of factors in deciding what bedding is suitable for you. There are a lot of factors that must be looked into before you can select the ideal bedding set for you. The principal differences are the qualities mentioned previously. You will see a difference in the texture, thickness and general quality of the sheets.
Supplementing one's decor with satin bedding not only increases the kind of the room, it raises the comfortable level. In the event the bedding isn't comfortable, there's minimum likelihood that you're likely to find an outstanding sleep. You also have to make sure your bedding doesn't clash with the remainder of your bedroom. You must know of the size bedding you require. Make certain you measure your mattress before you shop, which means you know precisely what size you require. Because, It is more difficult to resolve a mattress that's too soft then it is to correct a mattress that's too firm, you have to learn if your mattress feels a little too soft or extremely soft. For instance, if you've got a pillow top mattress, you might have to purchase sheets with deeper pockets.
If not exposed to dwindling chemicals, cottons will persist for a lengthier period of time and clearly, with good care. It is not truly all natural due to the processes used on the crop. In the washable world, it is the mainstay and has been around for many centuries. Egyptian cotton is famous for its extra long fibers. The fabric was used in the western countries because of its durability in cold weather. Bamboo fabric is likewise very soft and smooth.
The fabric is so soft you may sleep on it with no sheets. It offers a number of features that make it all time fav for the bed sheets. You might also want a fabric that's simple to wash also. You wish to select a fabric that's both comfortable and feels great against your skin. To begin with, you should think about what sort of fabric you would like to have. The fabric made from bamboo is extremely soft, durable and silky.

Billy Roisz: Walking The Monkey
Feb 16 2013
Artist: Billy Roisz (@)
Title: Walking The Monkey
Format: 12"
Label: Mego (@)
Title: Walking The Monkey
Format: 12"
Label: Mego (@)
This solo debut album by Austrian experimental video and sound artist Billy Roisz, known for her talent to render experimental music into visual imagery, sounds like a sort of anarchic transposition of suprematist praecepts from plastics to electricity after yuppifying them by means of contemporary treatment of frequencies and an impressive weaponry of instruments and unstruments, i.e.remote-controlled instruments where a device (normally a computer) goes between instrument and performer, such as electric bass guitar, kakophonator, kluppe (a linux-only open source loop-player and recorder, developed by Dieter Kovacic aka dieb13, who already collaborated with Billy), Flower Electronics Jealous Heart (a small battery-powered modular synthesizer, which is quite good to produce chatic clashing sounds) and a set of audible video devices. On "Walking The Monkey", she manages to organize corrosive flow of noises by tantalizing vortexes of spooky mid-frequencies ("Blue Hairy Tongues"), progressive saturations over tonal curves which look like following hyperbolic trend ("Spinning The Ecstasy"), sonic peptic ulcers (the distant smooth jazzy excerpt on the incipit of the title-track "Walking The Monkey" could let you imagine the possible mishap of an heavy drinker after many drinks), fermentations of stunning drones ("Feeding The Monsters"), thunderous flashes of noises which broaden over the sonic sphere (particularly on the track "Wave Your Hand To Sleepy Land", whose title conveniently quotes Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow"...a possible reading which could match the listening of Roisz's sonic sculptures) and high-pitched sharpening death throes of sound ("Under The Influence"). If you appreciate modulations of noise and similar stuff, just give heed to this stuff.

What's up with NASA, Mars n the Media?
(The Who, What, When, Where, Why n How of our future in space.)
August 08, 2003
Well not much in the mainstream media from NASA is making any evening news splashes despite all the back-tracking NASA seems to be doing on the Mars' water issue, and liquid water at the surface at that. Seems to me some crow diners should have been served and eaten in the public view by now. It should have been even larger than one of George Bush's Barbecues of bashful cashful carousing gatherings. It is becoming ever more 'evident' to 'mainstream' scientists, science teachers, and just as importantly, science editors and journalists that Mars has what Cydonian Villagers and Marsophiles across planet Earth have been screaming for more than 25 years. There's LIQUID WATER, LIFE and ANCIENT RUINS on the surface of Mars. Period. Bingo. They're there. Breathe-in, breathe-out. Get over it already. I need not go through whatever ancient archives the hagiographers of the dying 'kingdom of mainstream Mars' where the place was a dead, cold, dry, desert dusty dune of a place of blowing desolation in ultra thin dry deadly atmosphere, to find the exact words those paupered touts of wisdom gone wrong that remain to be read, heard or even seen speak on digital or tape archives, to find exactly WHO espoused such 'hard-fast-facts' as their tenets of reality. They know who they are and they know now they were wrong, yet, they have yet to come all the way into accepting 'we' were right, completely and utterly. As devastatingly wrong as they were, we were just as brutally truthful that there IS LIQUID WATER, LIFE and ANCIENT RUINS on the surface of Mars. There should be an old fashioned barbecue with CROW being served.
Those 'old mainstreamers'? They are the enemy blocking humanity's progress into space.
What's wrong with the commercial race to space in the 'Great X-Prize' is that the game is rigged and fixed. The Department of Defense has since the end of WW2 taken control of the skies and the space above it. You can't even begin proposing to go out there without their approval. While some traffic control needs to be maintained, it is time to let the anti-gravity genie out of the bottle. Project Prometheus has the promise to do this, but its current timetable must be accelerated. What would help is release of ALL classified documents relating to Roswell and other ET craft crashes where debris and remains have been recovered by the military. More than 500 Governmental people of the caliber we see on talking TV-war commentary have come forward with testimony on this brutal truth, we were never alone in the Universe. What is wrong with humanity's current approach to space exploration is that our perception is based on a foundation of lies, upon lies, upon lies undertaken because of misconceptions of 'mainstream' thinkers. And we have all seen how 'right' mainstream Martian thinkers were haven't we? It's time to take the giggle factor out of the discussion of extraterrestrial intelligence. It IS the only intelligent move left.
When should this happen?, of course, yesterday. But it didn't and hasn't and remains a goal yet to be achieved. Only through education and engagement can humanity's future be shaped. And in America the science and math grades are dropping for our young across the board at an alarming rate. Where-in lies our future? How can we engage in progress when we only teach the youth regression and stagnation of 'mainstream only' thought? As a
college educator fired for filing a FOIA
to end the 'secrecy' of the mainstream in keeping information from the public, I can faithfully say that the WHEN of ending the giggle factor of extraterrestrial intelligence discussion is long long past gone. The policy has become destructive of our future foundations in the education of the next generation to come. The Chinese will soon send Taikonauts to space and have their own station within three years and probably be on the Moon by 5 years from the night I write this. Never underestimate another people's will to succeed and pull together. Some thought America wouldn't fight, they were wrong. Some think the Chinese won't get very far very fast in space, they're wrong. Do I underestimate America's 'will' to engage in space once more? Absolutely not, but I do think it WILL take the Chinese going out there to finally open the frontier for everyone. For in the end, sadly, I trust they, the Japanese and Europeans will tell us more about what is REALLY out there than our own American NASA has. It is the HOW America responds part I find difficult and worrisome. It holds such promise, and such failure for our species if we react wrongly. We must immediately shed the blind of lies that our species is NOT alone in the Universe or even the Solar System. We are all Earthlings and should begin exploration and engagement as such.
Where should this exploration and engagement happen? Mars of course. August 27, 2003 will put Mars and Earth within their closest proximity in time and space with each other for 60,000 years. There is a small fleet of international probes heading for Mars arrival beginning this December. There are already two American orbiters in 'near' perfect health, supposedly churning forth vast amounts of data about Mars that American TAX dollars have been spent, and continues to be spent, acquiring and 'releasing' SOME of this data. I think there has been 'issues' with releases because of the nature of what Mars REALLY is. It wasn't what the mainstream folks thought it was all these years. And soon the Japanese and Europeans will REALLY see for themselves that this is brutally true too. Co-operative engagement could come from full disclosure of ALL spacecraft data from ALL spacecraft as well as ALL derived products from that raw data. This 'deal' NASA has to 'privatize' images of outer space taken with TAX PAYER dollars is illegal, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. If Dr. Mikey's business wants to OWN it's images of Mars, then let MSSS fund it's OWN spacecraft there. The MOC images acquired with that public MGS spacecraft belong to US, not him. Mars should be FULLY explored OPENLY, FREELY and with even a SMIDGEN of a resemblance of DEMOCRACY in ACTION!!! It's been nearly 6 years on-orbit and the second most controversial feature of the planet, the DiPietro n Molenaar Pyramid has YET, repeat REPEAT, YET, to have been actually targeted with an ENTIRE 'hit' on the DnM Pyramid, dead-on center, from the tippy-top of its platform to the tail-end of its artificially buttressed-backside in a single MOC image.
Is this an 'extraordinary investigation of an extraordinary claim'?
Is this 'democratic' exploration and engagement?
Is THIS the kind of democracy American troops are dying to establish in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, etc?
No wonder the Japanese and Europeans sent their own spacecraft to Mars. No wonder the Chinese are heading out there on their own to learn the BRUTAL TRUTH we aren't alone in the Universe or even the Solar System. Because NASA certainly thinks the Americans aren't ready to hear it. It's the same old
'mainstream' BROOKINGS' report
mentality. Mainstream...going over the falls, tail over teakettle, taking the American dream and youth and future with it.
Where's the Cydonia DnM Artificial Pyramid Dr. Mickey?
You need
another $85 American Buck-a-roos
like you needed for the
to get it right?
Why? Why all the secrecy? Why are we where we are and not where we should be,
already on Mars as planned for long long ago?
Why isn't there even so much as a
image of Mars? Really good question. There are probably as many answers as there are people on the planet who care enough to even ask the question. Why? I suppose all those involved 'believed' they were doing the right thing at the time; we all do, human nature to play down our mistakes and boost our successes. Monday morning quarterbacking is always good around the coffee machine, but I'll tell ya folks, it matters squat when it comes time to 'pay the bookie'. There's a price to be paid for all human actions and inactions and we're still paying for the mistakes made in the past. Why is the giggle factor still used when discussing extraterrestrial intelligences in mainstream media? Why is it so hard, even now, for many mainstream people to accept the wet liquid Mars that the data from our instruments show us? Why is it so hard to show the TRUE eye color of Mars from the instruments to us? Why is it so hard to make a leap to understand humanity may not even have been the first intelligence to evolve in this solar system? Is our hubris and ego so inflated as to be bigger than the Universe itself? Why is it so difficult to move forward in peace? Because our reality is based on a 'mainstream' foundation of lies. In mainstream 1200's these same folks would still be espousing all the below as being true that humanity is:
1. All alone
2. On a flat Earth
3. At the center of the Universe
4. As it revolves around us
5. Riding on the back of a giant turtle
You and I know these 'law of fives' to be totally untrue, but the mainstream use the same arguments and tactics the religious leaders of that time made, hence they force their foundation of lies upon us. Why aren't we back on the Moon? Why aren't we established with a large number of people in space habitats? Why aren't humans on Mars? Because 'mainstream' still holds that rule number one above is still true. If you believe rule 1, you might as well believe rule 5 because you're just as wrong as mainstream. That's WHY we are all still stuck on the back of that giant turtle called planet Earth.
How can we move forward in peace? How can we engage and educate our youth? How can we move past the lies and crack the crumbling foundations of a moldy mainstream holding us back from exploring the richness humanity can achieve in co-operative exploration of the solar system? I've answered that before in explaining how to achieve
Cheap Access To Space ( CATS )
. It must happen in brutal truthfulness. We cannot hope to reach the stars from a foundation of lies. That is ego and hubris at its most dangerous. And these seem to be the most perilous and dangerous of times. When weapons of mass destruction can be smuggled in a suitcase or flown from the skies; TRUTH will win the day, not a fake democracy of elitist 'mainstream' lies. HOW we build a hopeful and bright future for our youth to care for us in our old age can only be built to last on a foundation of brutal truths. Lies always crumble and fall in the end. Always. Ask any President.
Mars is wet. Mainstream was wrong. The lie laid bare.

Former Indiana recruit Bud Mackey has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges, according to The Lexington Herald-Leader. He'll next be in court on Nov. 6.
Mackey's lawyer refused to comment on the case after the hearing.
I wrote a story on Mackey for today's paper, which I will post below. It's long, but maybe you can print it out.
Falling star
Former IU recruit Bud Mackey faces uncertain future after crack cocaine arrest
By Chris Korman 331-4353 | email@example.com
October 16, 2007
Crack facts
What awaits Mackey
Bud Mackey career timeline
Jonathan .Bud. Mackey moved to Scott County (Ky.) from Cincinnati with his mother when he was in seventh grade.
On the day he led them to the promised land last spring, Jonathan "Bud†Mackey wore Indiana socks into Rupp Arena.
Playing with torn cartilage in his knee and on the court of a program he had spurned for one of its biggest rivals, the 6-4 guard scored 22 points — 20 in the second half — to lead his team to a state title.
He was named MVP of the tournament.
"I just kept telling myself, 'Bud, you have to lead these guys to the promised land,'†he told reporters after the game.
Seven months later, an assistant principal at Scott County went looking for Mackey, who was not in his English class.
He found Mackey outside of the school. Mackey smelled like marijuana.
Once inside the office, Mackey was searched for drugs.
Nothing in his pockets, or his bag.
Then, he took of his shoes.
Inside, there were five crack rocks and $29 in cash.
He spent that night, Friday, Sept. 28, in jail.
Before the 2006-07 basketball season had even begun, Mackey gave a verbal commitment to play basketball at Indiana University. His pledge went — by current standards — largely unnoticed by Hoosiers fans anxious to see what new coach Kelvin Sampson could do with the program.
At Hoosier Hysteria — on Oct. 13, 2006 — they had chanted "Er-ic Gor-don†over and over, directing it as much at Sampson as the shy guard from Indianapolis, who was sitting courtside. Because here was something Sampson had already done: convinced the best basketball player in the state to play for Indiana.
Bud Mackey was also in the crowd that night, and was important to Sampson in a way that few people in the gym realized.
Sampson had basically discovered Mackey — who spent part of his childhood in Cincinnati and had only played in a few AAU tournaments growing up — during a camp over the summer. Sampson was not allowed to go off campus to recruit because of NCAA sanctions, so he instructed his assistants to bring as many quality players to Bloomington as they could. They managed to attract Mackey and several teammates to Assembly Hall for a few hours.
To hear Mackey and his high school coach Billy Hicks tell the story — which is the only option, since Sampson is not allowed to discuss high school players — Sampson did not take long to decide that he wanted Mackey. It took, in fact, only a matter of hours.
Mackey, as much as any player Sampson has attempted to bring to Indiana, fits the mold of the type of player that Sampson not only tries to build his team around but admires. Sampson even compared Mackey to Hollis Price, the point guard on Sampson's only Final Four team and arguably the most notable player from his tenure as coach of the Sooners. Mackey is taller and more diverse than Price, but that is not what Sampson sees when he looks at a basketball player. What matters to him is how a player plays: how he hustles and rebounds and handles himself between plays. In those ways, Mackey was as earnestly intense as Price.
So when Bud Mackey gave a verbal commitment to Sampson on Oct. 19, 2006, he said this to The Herald-Times: "Coach Sampson told me I was his guy. He said he likes me more as a person than a player.â€
There is little doubt this is true, as almost anyone who knows Mackey will tell you that he in unendingly likeable. To adults he often ends his sentences with "sir†or "ma'am.†Other than that, he is quiet and often his easy smile does the work of expressing what he means.
Followers of the Scott County program often tell stories of Mackey off the court instead of on it. During the 2005-06 season, the Cardinals, who were ranked No. 1 in the state, lost two straight games. After the second game, Mackey waited until his teammates had all left the locker room and then hugged Hicks.
"Sorry, coach,†he said.
Sampson probably came to know that Mackey well enough. But one of the many hidden truths of college recruiting is that coaches barely get to really know the players they are courting. Their contact with them consists of a few phone calls, a couple of on-campus visits, one in-home visit and other scattered contact.
And Bud Mackey, it seems, might be more difficult to understand than many kids.
Horse farms and open fields line the roads heading into Georgetown, Ky., the county seat of Scott County.
The scenery could be used for a movie set 50 years in the past except for the steady stream of construction vehicles, which are being used for tasks ranging from widening those roads to building new homes.
Those houses rise in vinyled splendor along the bypass that encircles the town. In the morning, a steady stream of traffic flows out of the neighborhood, southbound to office buildings in Lexington.
The county experienced 38 percent growth during the 1990s, as the population went from 23,876 to 33,061. That growth has continued through the 2000s. The county now has an estimated 42,000 residents.
But the character of the area is still influenced heavily by the small-town feel of Georgetown, where Main Street and Broadway converge and the rest of the town emanates from there.
Mackey has a hearing at the Scott County Court House — a towering brick building that serves as the centerpiece of that intersection — at 1 p.m. today. The jail where he stayed for one night — before being freed on a $10,000 cash bond — is only a few hundred yards away.
Scott County High School is two miles up the road and rests atop a hill. It is surrounded by two quiet neighborhoods and a pair of sprawling parks.
Students who know Bud Mackey have been reluctant to talk to the media about him since his arrest. As with many star athletes, he has been a divisive figure among the student body. Some students who agreed to speak under the condition of anonymity said that Mackey was exceedingly kind and did not abuse his status as a star athlete; others complained that Mackey has been getting preferential treatment for most of his career.
Hicks, who could not be reached by The Herald-Times, discussed his disappointment in what had happened.
"It tears your heart out,†he told the Georgetown News-Graphic. "It's like someone sticking a dagger in your heart.â€
During an interview last year, Hicks echoed Sampson and praised Mackey for being an upstanding young man.
At that time, though, Mackey was having academic troubles, according to both published reports and sources in Georgetown.
"Bud has come a long way in the last three years behavior-wise,†Hicks told the News-Graphic. "He'd been in special (education) all the way up until last year and he got out of special ed. He's come a long way.â€
Mackey was known to cut classes, though, and there had been past instances in which school officials could not find him.
Mackey has also committed several traffic violations in the past.
At the beginning of last year's basketball season, Mackey said he had moved in with an older relative, Chris Johnson, because he needed a strong male influence in his life.
"He's showed me how to be responsible,†he told The Herald-Times last December. "My grades are better. I work harder, sir.â€
But to many who know Mackey, it was unclear where he lived on a day-to-day basis. On the citation for his arrest, he lists an address for which a telephone line that has since been disconnected is registered to his mother, Erica Mackey.
Bud Mackey and his mother moved to Georgetown from Cincinnati when he was in seventh grade to be closer to his grandparents. He has spent time living with them, too.
Since his arrest, Mackey has not spoken publicly. Multiple attempts to reach Mackey or a member of his family by The Herald-Times were unsuccessful. No one answered the door at his listed address, which is located in a neighborhood of government-subsidized houses in the southeast part of Georgetown. Despite being located next to the current police station, that area of town has been plagued with drug problems.
Eric Greenlief has grown a bushy beard, but his head is still shaved. Dressed in blue jeans and a bright yellow Nike shirt, he looks like anything but a cop.
Which is, given his new assignment, his goal.
Greenlief, a nine-year veteran of the Georgetown Police force, was put in charge of the newly-created narcotics division about four months ago. The task force is the result of new mayor Karen Tingle-Sames' desire to curb drug use and distribution.
It was Greenlief who got the call on Friday afternoon to drive to Scott County High School. The school has a resource officer assigned to it, but Greenlief was needed to conduct a field test on a drug.
That was not too unusual.
Until Greenlief heard that the drug was crack cocaine.
"We just don't find rock cocaine at the schools, or even really with people that young,†he said. "We make about 15 arrests a month (for crack), but I can't remember ever making one at the school.â€
When Greenlief arrived at the school he saw that officials had discovered a bag containing five rocks. They tested positive as being crack cocaine.
Mackey had 1.6 grams of crack cocaine on him. He told police that he was delivering it to an unidentified person, and he was therefore charged with two felonies: first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine), first offense, a Class C felony, and trafficking in a controlled substance within 1,000 yards of a school, a Class D felony.
Greenlief could not discuss the details of Mackey's case. He did say that it is not unusual for a mule to carry drugs from a dealer who imports them in large amounts to a dealer who actually sells them on the street.
"Usually, the bigger dealers will not want to get involved with it too much,†Greelief said. "They try to create separation from the dealer on the street.â€
The mule, Greelief said, is usually paid in drugs, not money.
"They might get a cut of one of the rocks,†Greenlief said. "Or a blunt (marijuana). Whatever they prefer.â€
In four months, Greenlief said he and the two officers he supervises have already changed the drug culture in Georgetown. Dealers are changing tactics because of the increased police presence on the street, and Greenlief is therefore constantly trying to develop new tactics to catch them.
He could not say whether or not his department had been tracking Mackey before the arrest.
Greenlief said the three most popular drugs in Scott County were "the big three†of marijuana, powder cocaine and crack cocaine, although meth has been flowing in from Western Kentucky and heroin from Cincinnati.
Most of the cocaine is smuggled from Mexico into Texas, and then to hubs — such as Lexington — across the country.
It is often cooked into rock cocaine to create more product and therefore more profit. Cooking it involves a simple process of heating it and cutting it and can be done in the home.
Crack is highly addictive and eventually renders users unable to operate in society. It is rarely stockpiled and is not a party drug, Greenlief said.
Greenlief, who was wearing a University of Kentucky hat but said he was not necessarily a fan of the Wildcats, was surprised to hear that Mackey had been arrested. Though he'd never before met Mackey, he knew of the state title run.
"This is the type of town where, when that happens, there are parades in the street and the firetrucks are leading the way,†he said. "But crack in the schools?â€
Greenlief could only shake his head.
"He made a bad contact somewhere,†Greenlief said. "He made the wrong contact.â€
In Kentucky, a Class C felony carries a 5-10 year jail sentence, and a Class D felony is punishable by a 1-5 years in jail.
Scott County Attorney Glenn Williams, who is prosecuting the case, refused to comment saying that it was his policy to not discuss pending trials. An attorney for Mackey, 18, could not be reached.
In previous drug cases of this sort, multiple charges have been merged and the severity of the punishment has been based on how cooperative the defendant is. There is a chance Mackey could face probation and be able to continue his basketball career.
But he will not play at Indiana. Sources in Georgetown said that Mackey was informed of Sampson's decision to withdraw his scholarship offer a few days after the arrest.
But Mackey, who went from being unranked last summer to one of the top 25 players in the country, will likely get a chance to play somewhere, if he is able.
Later today, he'll take the first step down his next path.
And maybe that will finally allow him to stop reliving the trip that landed him in that brick courthouse in the middle of town: one on which he went from pulling on his Indiana socks before the state championship game to slipping a bag of crack cocaine inside his shoe.

Parent Coaching Tip: Referees Beware!
It seems kids are always bickering with each other. How do we stop it? In 3 words: Step In Less. When you solve for X in their equations and struggles, you deny them practice they need to learn to work things out.
Imagine it: Three boys 6-8 playing hide n seek. One gets smack happy and the other two start saying that "as a consequence" they will count very quickly or with their eyes open because they are not happy with this treatment. Things quickly deteriorate.
Would You:
A. Say nothing; let them work it out (unless it comes to blows)
B. Tell the one who was hitting to cut it out
C. Tell the "victims' to move on and stop being mean
D. Offer to guide them in working it out, until they can do this part on their own
A, B and C all miss out on the group empowerment available in option D. But Referees beware, don't try this without proper training or you just end up enabling them to wait for the hero to save them from conflict. Handling conflict is, BTW, the main skill being developed here.
The Actual Conversation That Helped:
Are you all having fun? No. Do you need to give consequences to each other? No. What do you sound like? A Parent. What could you do instead? Ask to make new Agreements. OK, Who's first? They each offered an Agreement: Hands Off, Count Slow, and Close Eyes. They all agreed and then were off to the races.
Two of the three kids families know the Licensed2Parent program, so at this point, these talks go much more quickly nowadays. This could be you and yours!
Parent Coaching Tip: Are You To Blame? YES!
I have news for parents. It IS all your fault.
Your children are not flawed or incapable of minding you. But parents do care about how kids turn out, so it is hard to stand there and say; I did this, I'm the reason I don't like my own child. As a Parent Coach, I hear many excuses for kid's behavior. Sick, tired, big day coming up, letters next to their name. This keeps the pressure off the parents when the fan is on and things are hitting it. I get that.
What I don't get is the opposite effect. When parents I coach get results, (happens everytime, yes, everytime) they will "blame" something else for the turnaround they created!
One client visited an extended family who's parenting they admire, and was surprised when the Aunt gave them a glowing parenting compliment, then shared it around the family! They insisted it was just luck that it was a quiet day for their child! NOT!
I just got off the phone with someone who's two year old hit in frustration and had a meltdown 3 times a week. It was so hard for Mom to endure. Now this child may hit when thwarted, but then without a word, they go off to the sit spot for some thinking time on their own then stay there until invited back. WOW! Dad felt the hitting should be over by now, PLUS they had not realized or congratulated themselves on major progress! This child has stopped losing control and is trusting the system they put in place.
I'm getting to work making sure parents know they are both the reason and solution for their parenting struggles; furthermore, they need to feel OK to claim bragging rights when they become the rocking parents they dreamed they could be! Find some rocking parents yourself and compliment them today. But don't let them tell you it's the weather or the economy…
Parent Coaching Tip: Do You Do Too Much For Your Kid?
Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about…clearing dishes, tidying up, carrying bags for them, all the little niceties that you just do naturally as a way to say I love you. There is a downside to treating a child this way that you need to know about. They learn that the world is a magic place where things are taken care of for them with no concerete idea how clean laundry ACTUALLY gets back into the drawer. But wait there's more…and it's worse!
When you manage your kids lives, run the routine, skipper the schedule, you send a message to your child = You Can't Handle This. Not only are you training them to be lazy, entitled, dependent and unskilled (gasp!) They honestly begin to feel that there must be a good reason they manage nothing, they conclude they must not be capable.
The Fix? Step back, fight the urge to do for them and invite them to handle things. If that makes you cringe…that's your first clue this is necessary. Look for this behavior: they tell you what's wrong (they are hungry or tired or bored) and wait expectantly for you to solve that for them. Now, you will reply: Thanks for letting me know. Anything else? (Don't forget to smile!) Until they make a real Request, Do Not Act.
Let kids struggle, fall short, fail, be confused, get uncomfortable, feel frustrated and wonder how it will all turn out. You can offer sage guidance but do it from the side, letting them know it is ultimately up to them to manage. Use the word Manage; as in, "You can manage that, I know it." This gives them real world practice in problem solving and the golden ring of self esteem building: actual accomplishment!
Parent Coach Tip: Kids Can't Demand-Or Can They?
I am happy to have had Sonia in my life for the past "school year," but more than that, I am honored that she has chosen to join the team at Licensed 2 Parent as a Parent Coach Intern. She has taken on learning a lot and shows a true passion for families and creating peace by example. I have asked her to ocasionally contribute to the blog with her own experiences along the way! She writes about a particularly cool moment:
Why can't I demand?! My 5 year old son wants to know. We teach that parents are allowed to make Demands. Children are taught to powerfully Request, but Demands (of their parents or others) are not acceptable. During a weekend Intensive I attend for Self Discovery, I considered another answer. When I do inner work to move myself forward, I DEMAND of myself to be my best, my highest, my greatest, etc.
Wait a minute, can't kids can demand of themselves? They can demand anything they want of themselves. When I shared this with my son, he liked it! I saw the empowerment he felt. It removed the separation that ONLY a parent (or small baby) can Demand.
Later, he said, "Hey, I can demand of myself without saying please!"
"Absolutely, kid, absolutely!" When will you talk with your kids and let them know they can demand? … of themselves!

Parent Coaching Tip: Use Agreements, Lose Rules
This video is hilarious! What a talented way to illustrate why we coach parents to make agreements with kids instead of thinking up the next "great" rule then telling your family about it. Funny is funny because it hits close to home. Unfortunately, this 3 minute string of Mom-isms shows how we come off sounding when we rely on rules, nagging and "SHOULD sandwiches with MUSTard!" to get the parenting job done.
Open your parenting mind and see what other options you have to raise a person with coping skills… but first enjoy this video because it is true fun! Hint: educate yourself about making Agreements instead. Totally cool & way better results!

23 Apr Hutton's Earth Day Garden Blitz 2018!
What an incredible Earth Day we had this year! Kids, staff and community volunteers joined forces to bring Hutton's garden expansion project to fruition (see what we did there?). Thanks to a generous grant from Gesa Credit Union, we were able to create a food forest, filled with berry bushes, fruit trees, an herb garden and an expandion to our chicken coop to add ducks!
Our goal at Hutton is to create a self-sustaining garden, where no pesticides or fertilizers are used – ducks and chickens are GREAT for pest control! The children are learning to grow from seed, harvest their food, cook meals with the food that they grew and so much more. They also give back to the community by donation a portion of each years crops to local charities, so they can learn to take care of their neighbors just as they take care of themselves.
We also had a group from the United States Air Force out in the afternoon, building and painting the duck pen and helping with the expansion project! What an incredible show of support from our community members and the kids worked hard the whole day!
If you'd like to see our Facebook Live video, you can click here to watch!
Here are some photos from Earth Day!
