Four women died Wednesday in a house fire in the Florida Panhandle.
Marianna Fire Chief Nakeya Lovett said three smoke detectors woke up six children in the house. All the children escaped the fire.
"That's what woke them up to alert everybody that there was a fire, to try to get everybody out. And unfortunately the four didn't make it out," Lovett told WJHG-TV. "These women were pillars in the community. A lot of people would pass by and blow the horn as they saw them sitting on the porch. It's just heart-breaking."
James Rhynes said the fire killed four of his relatives.
"My grandmother, her name is Gertrude Pete. Her mother, which is Sarah Johnson, that's my great-grandmother, and then my mother's father's mother, Elise Pete, which was also in the house, and then my mom's baby sister who was also in the house, Cynthia Pete," Rhynes said.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation Wednesday night.
"Right now we're speculating that it came from an overloaded extension cord," Lovett said.

Mayor Coleman, Cupcake announce parking plan
Mayor urges City Council to reconsider appeal to pave way for business opening
SAINT PAUL – Today, Mayor Chris Coleman and Cupcake owner Kevin VenDeraa announced an improved parking plan for the restaurant planned at 949 Grand Avenue. The new parking plan includes 10 additional off-street parking spots for employees and customers.
"Cupcake has proven itself to be a successful and popular restaurant, desirable for any city, and I look forward to welcoming them to Saint Paul and Grand Avenue," Mayor Chris Coleman said. "Local businesses are the backbone of Saint Paul's economy, and it is essential that we provide them with opportunities for success in our city. This new parking plan adequately addresses the concerns raised in an appeal. I urge the City Council to reconsider yesterday's vote to delay so Cupcake can open as soon as possible."
Yesterday, the Saint Paul City Council voted to "lay over" Resolution No: 12-538 for four weeks. This resolution memorializes the 5-2 vote taken on February 15, 2012 granting the appeals of the Summit Hill Association and McClay Alton Real Estate, LLC. This resolution denies the necessary parking variance for the Cupcake restaurant in Saint Paul. Mayor Coleman planned to veto the resolution. The council can reconsider their vote to delay at their March 28 meeting.
"Thank you to Mayor Coleman for working on behalf of small businesses," said Cupcake owner Kevin VanDeraa. "We are eager for this to be resolved so that we are able to open in Saint Paul early this summer."
Working with staff from the Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Mayor's Office, Kevin VanDeraa, owner of Cupcake, has unveiled an improved parking plan that provides off-street parking for 10 additional vehicles by leasing a portion of two underutilized area parking lots for employees and customers.

Suit claims Catalyst Fund violates constitution
Gov. Brian Sandoval says the $10 million Catalyst Fund he persuaded lawmakers to approve in 2011 is a key to attracting and expanding businesses that will grow Nevada's economy.
The Nevada Policy Research Institute filed suit Wednesday saying it's unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of engineer Michael Little, who is attempting to create a business that turns organic matter in the state's landfills into energy. It charges that while Little is on his own fighting an uphill battle to create a green business, the Governor's Office of Economic Development is handing his competition, SolarCity, a $1.2 million subsidy.
Joe Becker, director of NPRI's Center for Justice and Constitutional Litigation, said that subsidy clearly violates Article 8 of the Nevada Constitution, which states, "The state shall not donate or loan money or its credit, subscribe to or be interested in the stock of any company, association or corporation except corporations formed for educational or charitable purposes."
"It's not the government's role to pick winners and losers in the economy," Becker said at a news conference at the Carson City Courthouse.
He said the governor and Legislature "tried to circumvent the Constitution by routing the money through local subdivisions."
The system runs the money through regional development authorities in the state and local governments, which supporters of the process say gets around the constitutional bar because the state isn't giving the money directly to private businesses.
Becker said that doesn't work because GOED still picks the winners, and even the local political subdivisions see the money as state funding for the businesses.
"When we talk to political subdivisions, they say they just pass the money through for the state," he said.
Little said he talked to the governor's office, GOED Director Steve Hill land numerous other officials about his company, Landfill Alternative.
Becker said Little didn't file an application for Catalyst money because "it seemed clear to him" the decision had already been made about who was going to get the cash.
"Subsidies from state government to private businesses are unconstitutional and directly harm both taxpayers and competing businesses," Becker said. "Having a so-called regional development authority or local government give money it received from the state to a private business doesn't change the fact that state taxpayer dollars are going to private businesses, in violation of Nevada's Constitution."
The lawsuit asks the court to block GOED from handing out any of the Catalyst Fund money.
Little says he is an engineer who has worked more than a decade developing a process to turn organic landfill trash into a fuel that burns as hot as coal. He says his goal is to eventually sell the processing plants to communities that own the landfills.
Those landfills are a huge potential energy resource for the communities that own them, a resource that can and should be developed, he said.
State officials and the Attorney General's Office hadn't had a chance Wednesday to review the lawsuit.

So why do I allready know kitesurfers that bought a bow, sold it and got a C-kite like a.o. a R6 and F-one Tribal.Rod14 wrote: Come one guys, what are you saying?? BOW kites are the next generation!!
So why is there the more or less confirmed(he can't say 100%) story about an international sponsored very good Dutch kitesurfer that switched brand to be able to switch from bow to very depowerable C-kite.
I don't think it will be in 2006. Maybe 2007/2008
My guess is Vegas06/Impact/Tribal/Matrix06/Octane etc will be THE kites in 2006.

Well that was quick.
Shortly after NBA all-star LeBron James announced that he was leaving his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to play in South Beach with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Miami Heat, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert posted an open letter to the team's website in regards to "the chosen one's" decision.
To say he was not pleased would be an understatement.

Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
In the angry missive, Gilbert classified James' decision, made on a much-hyped ESPN prime time special, as a "shocking act of disloyalty, and he personally guaranteed that the Cavs will get a title before LeBron does.
"If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland," the letter reads, " I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our 'motivation' to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels."
In addition, Gilbert accused James of giving on the team during its first round playoff series.
"He quit," Gilbert said in a phone interview with the Associated Press after the decision was made public. "Not just in Game 5, but in Games 2, 4 and 6. Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar."

Time Warp was a short-lived science fiction anthology series from DC Comics, back in the late 1970s. And now, Vertigo Comics is bringing it back to life — with a pretty astonishing list of talent involved. According to MTV Geek:
Featuring stories by both the hot writers of today and the trailblazing writers of tomorrow, "Time Warp" will showcase the talents of Damon Lindelof, Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Toby Litt, Mark Buckingham, Dan Abnett, Peter Milligan, Ray Fawkes, Simon Spurrier, Gail Simone, Rafael Albuquerque, Tom Fowler, and others.
Toby Litt, incidentally, is a literary author from Britain who wrote that generation ship novel that we reviewed a few years ago. Matt Kindt is the creator of Mind MGMT, the "psychic war" comic we featured last week as a daily strip. Peter Milligan wrote the Shade the Changing Man comic as well as the astonishingly good Enigma. All in all, I'm pretty excited to see this.
Check out the full cover for issue #1, by Eduardo Risso, over at MTV Geek.

Growing up, I was a big fan of Halloween. I always had a great time going to the store with my mom to pick out the fabric for my costume; and I loved getting dressed up and bobbing for apples at the school party. But what I loved most of all was trick-or-treating, and not just because of the candy. It was wild and thrilling to be out and about roaming the streets after dark, on a school night, getting free candy. To this day, when I think of Halloween I envision the foggy little streets of my hometown, Albany, California, dotted with roaming bands of witches, cats, and robots.
The one thing missing from the Halloweens of my youth was a festive candy bag (I just used a brown grocery sack or a pillow case.) But if I could go back in time, I know my 7 year old self would have loved this super cool Glow in the Dark Spider Web Treat Bag. It's just the right mix of whimsical and spooky. And it's a snap to make! All you need is one hank of Glow in the Dark DMC embroidery floss, one 18-inch square of Wool Felt, and one yard of grosgrain ribbon, and you're set to spin your own web!
Happy Halloween!– Molly
To make one bag:
- 1 18-inch square of 100% Wool Felt in Navy
- 1 hank of DMC Glow in the Dark Embroidery Floss
- 1 yard White 25mm Grosgrain Ribbon
- 100% cotton thread in color 6250
8 1/2-inches by 10 3/4-inches
Cut the felt into two 9-inch by 11 1/2-inch pieces.
Cut two 16-inch lengths from the ribbon. Put these aside for now.
Using a Hera Marker, a pencil, or a fabric marker mark one of the felt pieces in half lengthwise, widthwise, and diagonally in both directions:
It's hard to see markings on something this dark so make sure that you've marked it sufficiently before you start embroidering.
Using a long and close together running stitch sew along the marked lines.
Make sure that the lines meet up neatly in the middle. If any of these lines look messy or aren't straight just pull them out, felt is very forgiving when it comes to embroidery.
Version 1: Curved Web
Starting roughly 1 1/2-inches from the center embroider a concave curve from one of the straight embroidered lines to the adjacent straight line as shown above.
Repeat this until you loop back to the first curve. Make sure the last curve meets up with the first. Don't worry if they don't seem symmetrical, the irregularities makes it beautiful.
Repeat this process 1 1/2-inches out from the first curves loop.
And finally add a third layer or curves in the same manner.
Version 2: Spiral Web
Starting roughly 1/2-inch from the center stitch a spiral connecting all of the straight lines as shown above.
Keep stitching in a spiral until the spiral reaches 1/2-inch from the edge.
Fold and pin the top of both of the bag panels 1/2-inch towards the wrong side.
Slide a cut piece of ribbon into this fold, 1 1/2-inches from the left and right sides. Make sure not to twist the ribbon.
Fold the ribbon upwards so that the ends are encased inside the fold. Pin it into place.
Sew the fold and handles down with a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
Pin the panels together, right sides together.
Sew the panels together along the left, bottom and right sides.
Snip off the bottom corners.
Turn the bag right sides out and press it flat.
Now go trick or treating!

Outdoor grills, fireplaces, and electrical appliances pose a risk to our pets that shouldn't be overlooked. So don't spoil the happiness of the season and take into account these pieces of advice for your pet and fire safety.
Written by Pet Talk is a service of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University
"Animals have an instinctive fear of fire and smoke; they will tend to stay away," says Dr. Mark Stickney, director of general surgery services at the Small Animal Clinical Sciences the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM). "Problems come literally when curiosity kills the cat. This time of the year people set up space heaters and an animal doesn't know and knocks it over, and the fire can start that way. Another thing is when the holiday lights are going up and animals chew the electrical cord and they can electrocute themselves".
Specifically now, near Christmas time, "when you receive a new puppy or kitten and they don't know any better. They start playing with the lights and they can get themselves electrocuted or they can possibly start an electrical fire," Stickney says.
Other species that are infamous for chewing include rabbits, the newly popular Guinea pigs, ferrets, and any pocket pets that have easy access to items underneath furniture and close to the floor.
What about reptiles? "They are not as fast movers, so they are not going to knock over a space heater. The problem in this case is that they can burn themselves. It's not so much a risk to the house but it's a risk for them," Stickney says.
It is especially important to be more careful this time of the year because of all the stir in the house with the incoming guests and all of the extra decorations in the house. You need to make sure that you are always around and that you never leave pets unattended with electrical appliances. If you are not home, please unplug them.
Secondly, make sure that you know where your pets are all the time. If you have a new puppy or the children have been playing with the Guinea pig, make sure that they haven't lost interest in the pet and that it is accounted for especially when there are guests in the house.
A helpful tip is to go to your local fire department and ask for a sticker that you can put on an outside window that will tell the fire department how many pets are in your house. "The sticker is a great way in case there's an accident and your house is on fire for the firemen to know that there are animals in the house that need rescuing as well," Stickney says.
According to Stickney, "the biggest thing to bear in mind if you have an outdoor pit, if you are setting up the grill or deep-frying your turkey over Thanksgiving, is you want to make sure there are no pets around where the deep-fryer is. If animals are not used to being around pits they can eventually run into them and burn themselves and potentially knock it over and start a fire in your yard," says Stickney."
"When it comes to fire safety, think of your pet as a 2 or 3 year old child who doesn't know any better and who's going to make the worst of any possible situation. Keep that in mind and that will keep you out of trouble," states Stickney.

The reshuffling of the state's top political figures after last week's elections could have repercussions for the career of Central Massachusetts' most prominent elected official, Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Murray.
Whether Gov. Deval L. Patrick is asked to join President Barack Obama's administration, or, more likely, if U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry becomes secretary of defense or secretary of state, the question remains: Will Mr. Murray run for governor in 2014, given the two damaging scandals that enveloped him over the past year?
One sign that Mr. Murray, who has said he won't make a decision until after the new year, is still in the game is his high-profile speaking appearance today at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce's Government Affairs Forum, a gathering of the city's top business leaders, lobbyists and political officials.
"No one has a stronger record on delivering important programs, policies and projects all across Massachusetts than Tim has in conjunction with Gov. Patrick," said Michael Cohen of Holden, a spokesman for Mr. Murray's political committee. "The lieutenant governor is focused on continuing the progress that has been made over the last several years."
Early in his second term as lieutenant governor, the 43-year-old former Worcester mayor appeared to be among a group of top Democrats eyeing a run for governor, with Mr. Patrick already having declared he wouldn't seek a third term.
But that was before Mr. Murray's November 2011 high-speed car crash on Interstate 190 in Sterling and revelations earlier this year about Mr. Murray's close ties to Michael E. McLaughlin, the disgraced former Chelsea Housing Authority director who now is the target of a grand jury investigation into his fundraising for Mr. Murray, among other things.
Some political observers think Mr. Murray is too wounded to compete in a bruising Democratic primary that could likely include state Treasurer Steven Grossman and U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, who is leading the grand jury inquest into Mr. McLaughlin. Mr. Murray has been questioned under oath by state and federal investigators in connection with the Chelsea Housing Authority scandal, the Boston Globe has reported.
Meanwhile, the Democrat who wins the primary could likely face a tough Republican opponent such as former GOP governor nominee Charles Baker or U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.
"I think Tim Murray is pretty damaged goods," said Jason Kauppi, a Republican political consultant who was the chief spokesman for former acting governor and lieutenant governor Jane Swift.
But many in Central Massachusetts say Mr. Murray can put the scandals behind him and resurrect his once-promising prospects.
"Tim Murray has made a career out of surprising those who underestimate him," said Worcester City Councilor William J. Eddy, a former longtime chairman of the Democratic City Committee. "People in Boston still look at him as the guy from Worcester. What they don't see in Tim Murray is the tenacity, the dogged approach to getting a job done."
For his part, Mr. Patrick appeared to express confidence in Mr. Murray for the future.
"One of the things the lieutenant governor and I have been able to do is to leave behind is a stronger community and a stronger commonwealth for years to come," the governor said, speaking to reporters after an address to local housing officials at the DCU Center in Worcester yesterday.
Keys to any ambitious politician's future can often be found in their campaign fundraising prowess, and Mr. Murray's traditionally robust fundraising slowed down dramatically last year.
However, people close to Mr. Murray have noted that last year was an off-election year and that he spent more time on other things, including chairing the National Lieutenant Governors Association.
Going into 2013, a year before the next election for governor, Mr. Murray has $246,165 in his campaign account. By comparison, heading into the 2010 cycle, in 2008, Mr. Murray had just shy of $1 million on hand.
Mr. Grossman, the treasurer and former state and national Democratic Party chairman known for his own fundraising prowess, had $321,273 in his account as of this week. Mr. Baker, who has been making the Republican rounds in recent months but could face internal GOP competition, had only $76,521.
In addition to Mr. Murray, other Central Massachusetts political players who could have roles in 2014 are Worcester County Sheriff Lewis G. Evangelidis, a Republican who has been mentioned as a possible candidate for statewide office even though he is only two years into a six-year term; and former state Rep. Karyn E. Polito, a Shrewsbury Republican.
If Mr. Patrick — who has said repeatedly he will finish out his second term — does end up departing for an Obama administration post, Mr. Murray could gain a significant advantage on Democratic rivals by becoming acting governor.

TVA has failed to adequately protect Sequoyah and Watts Bar nuclear plants from the potential for the failure of dams and berms upstream and the flooding that would ensue, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. NRC on Friday confirmed that NRC sent TVA six citations and placed both plants under new "yellow" safety flags, indicating what NRC calls "substantial safety significance."

TVA has failed to adequately protect Sequoyah and Watts Bar nuclear plants from the potential for failure of earthen dams upstream and flooding that would ensue in the event of what utility and nuclear regulators call a probable maximum flood - an event that would surpass any known local weather occurrence.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday confirmed that its inspectors have cited the Tennessee Valley Authority with six violations and placed both Sequoyah and Watts Bar under "yellow" safety flags, indicating what NRC calls "substantial safety significance."
NRC ranks safety findings as white, yellow and red, in increasing order of significance. If a plant is deemed completely safe, it is rated as green.
TVA officials said there is no immediate safety concern because the utility has implemented interim measures to protect the plants against dam failure and will continue to work with the NRC.
"The safety of our day-to-day nuclear operations has not been brought into question," said TVA spokesman Mike Bradley. "TVA takes its regulatory compliance seriously and has already responded to the extreme flooding issues identified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."
TVA discovered the potential for flooding several years ago when preparing to seek new construction licensing for the mothballed Bellefonte Nuclear Plant.
TVA officials realized the assumptions they used to model potential flood problems three and four decades ago were both erroneous in their original calculations and outdated.
Weather patterns have since changed, and TVA also has since changed the way it manages river levels. When utility engineers applied correct figures and new technology to their calculations, they realized a catastrophic -- and unlikely -- probable maximum flood would raise water much higher than they thought.
Late last year in documents TVA filed with the NRC, engineers said new calculations show flooding would rise more than 4 feet higher than Watts Bar was licensed and designed to handle and nearly two and a half feet higher at Sequoyah than that plant was designed and licensed to handle.
NRC began publicly questioning TVA about its precautions in 2012, and in December NRC scheduled meetings with TVA officials for discussions of how the plants would fare during a probable maximum flood.
TVA assured the NRC that it had the capability to monitor weather and implement a "27-hour-margin" plan to close any gaps in the sand and crushed stone baskets erected alongside the flanks of the dams several years ago at Fort Loudon, Tellico, Cherokee and Watts Bar dams to prepare for such a flood. All of those dams are upstream of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant and Chattanooga.
The large baskets -- all in place as temporary fixes until more permanent options are chosen -- have gaps if a road passes over the earthen flank.
NRC told TVA to test its margin plan. The utility did, twice.
The first test failed and TVA's effort took several hours longer. In the second test, TVA beat the deadline by a couple of hours, according to Bradley.
TVA also tested plant doors and seals at both Sequoyah and Watts Bar, and found some wanting -- a report NRC also heard in December. Some seals failed, meaning critical cooling equipment would have failed had there been a real monster flood.
On Monday, NRC spokesman Roger Hannah said TVA now will tell NRC how they will respond to the notices and a hearing will be scheduled.
Hannah said in the post-Fukushima world, NRC inspectors are looking more carefully at potential flooding events. Several reactors at a nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan, melted down two years ago after the plant survived a 9.0 earthquake but the ensuing tsunami devastated the diesel backup generators that would have cooled the reactors after the power was disrupted.
Hannah acknowledged that a probable maximum flood might be unlikely, but he said the precautions are needed for Sequoyah and Watts Bar.
"Our inspectors found that their [TVA's] strategies were not adequate," he said.

The following is written by Mike Cahill, an Accounting Graduate Student at the NIU College of Business.
The Social Entrepreneurship Program at NIU is the perfect fit for any business student with aspirations to help make the world a better place. The mission of the Program is to show students how they can apply their business skillset to solve the world's problems. Participating in the Social Entrepreneurship Program was one of the best choices I made as an Undergraduate in the College of Business because it really helped broaden my horizons. Learning from real world examples is what I like most about the classes in the Program
This past November I enrolled in MGMT 411 – Microfinance as part of the Social Entrepreneurship Program. The class was very unique in that it was a small group (only about 10 students) and very discussion based. In class we were assigned case studies to develop our knowledge of the topic, and at the end of the semester we participated in a 4 day microfinance study abroad trip to Punta Mita, Mexico.
The trip to Mexico, led by NIU College of Business Instructor Dennis Barsema, was a tremendous experience. As a class, we met over a dozen micro entrepreneurs who were clients of a local Microfinance Institution (MFI) in Punta Mita. An MFI provides loans and other financial services (loans) to the poor, or people who would not otherwise have any access to such services. The loans enable micro entrepreneurs to start businesses in their villages, and the earnings from these businesses allow the entrepreneur to earn a sustainable wage. The experiences interacting with the MFI clients allowed us (the class) to see first-hand the powerful impact that access to capital can have on improving the lives of the poor.
Overall, the trip really brought the class to life. It was inspirational to hear the unique stories of each of the micro entrepreneurs. Every so often I stop to think about the micro entrepreneurs that I met, and about all of the hardships that they face on an everyday basis. It is really humbling and makes me thankful for all of the opportunities I am blessed with as an American. In the future, I hope to use what I have learned in my Social Entrepreneurship classes to help make the world a better place.

UK Higher Education Economics
This section aims to provide useful information for those teaching economics in higher education in the UK, giving a brief overview of the UK educational system and its organisations, as well as UK economics undergraduate teaching.
The UK educational system
Students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland typically gain entry to UK higher education through the attainment of A levels at secondary school. Maths A level is a requirement for some UK economics degrees (economics A level is not). Undergraduate degrees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are 3 years long.
The Scottish educational system differs, with students gaining Highers instead of A levels, and degrees lasting 4 years. The first year at degree level at Scottish universities is a non-specialist year involving several subjects. This system presents different problems to economics lecturers in Scotland including teaching economics to non-specialists in the first year; retention of economics students (and the uptake of non-economics students) from the first to the second year of economics degrees; and the retention of second year students once they have started specialist study.
For a comparison of qualifications across the UK and how these correspond with European qualification frameworks see the UK Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) website. For specific information about UK economics qualifications both at secondary and higher education level see official documents and syllabuses.
UK economics undergraduate teaching
Economics undergraduate teaching in the UK usually consists of the following for each module or unit:
- One or more lectures (large group teaching) per week – which is usually a talk or a presentation but can involve interaction and activities.
- Weekly or fortnightly seminars (small group teaching) - which often focus on economic papers, problem sets or activities to deepen students' understanding of the module subject.
- Assessments – including formative assessment (where students receive feedback but the mark does not formally count) and summative assessment (where the mark does count). Typically, economics summative assessments consist mostly of end of term written exams, but can also include coursework (such as essays) and other activities such as wikis, projects, online tests etc.
- Independent study by students (including formative assessment activities and reading etc). Most economics students are expected to spend around 70% of their overall study time engaged in independent study. A key component of designing and delivering a course is to structure and motivate this independent work.
There might be additional computer labs, exercise lectures, clinics, drop-in sessions or other support sessions aimed at providing practice at key skills and techniques employed in the module.
In terms of the overall design of economics courses and programmes, a national framework that shapes the structure and content of curricula is provided by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), the regulatory body for UK HE institutions:
- The QAA economics subject benchmark statement provides guidance about the aims of degree programmes in economics, and specifies the subject knowledge and the subject-specific and other skills that students are expected to accrue during their studies. The economist's way of thinking and the importance of transferable concepts are also emphasised.
UK Higher Education agencies and organisations
- Higher Education Academy – the HEA provides events, resources and funding to support the UK higher education sector in enhancing teaching.
- The UK higher education funding councils promote and fund teaching and research in UK higher education institutions:
- The National Union of Students (NUS) is a confederation of 600 students' unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education unions in the UK.

Story highlights
- The system of women's subordination in Saudi Arabia "needs to be dismantled," an Amnesty International official says
- "We don't really think now that we've been promised a real right," a Saudi women's rights activist says
- A member of the Consultative Council says the future inclusion of women will be "hugely important"
- King Abdullah announced two changes Sunday
A day after Saudi King Abdullah announced greater political participation for women in the future, some Saudis questioned just how big a change may really be on the horizon.
Some women's rights activists who were initially elated by Sunday's announcement said they were feeling disappointed because the changes do not kick in immediately. "We don't really think now that we've been promised a real right," said one.
But a member of Saudi Arabia's Consultative Council called one of the changes the king announced "hugely important."
King Abdullah announced two changes Sunday, which would be historic for Saudi Arabia. He said women will be allowed to serve as members of the Shura Council, the Consultative Council that advises the king. Its 150 members are appointed.
The king also said women will be allowed to run as candidates and nominate candidates in the next set of municipal elections. It is unknown when those may ultimately take place.
The changes do not apply to elections scheduled for this Thursday -- which will be only the second set of elections in the kingdom since 1963.
While the king did not use the word "vote" in his remarks, allowing women to take part in the nomination process would amount to voting within Saudi Arabia's system.
"We don't really think now that we've been promised a real right because it's been postponed." said Wajeha Al-Huwaider, a prominent Saudi women's rights activist. "The king could have said this is happening now because the next election is going to happen this Thursday -- it wouldn't have been a problem to postpone this election for a month and have women participate in this round."
"For the Shura council it's another year and a half, for the municipal election it's another four years -- anything could happen during that time," she said. "Whatever can be given can be taken."
"That will give time for extremists to reverse the decision," said Al-Huwaider. "The government thinks they will give time for people to adjust to the idea, but if you're against something, you'll never change your mind and if you're for it you'll never change your mind. Why do they hesitate when it comes to women's issues? The government always hesitates."
This Thursday's elections come after more than two years of delays, so any time frame for when future elections may take place is not seen as a solid plan.
Amnesty International said the announcement that women will be given the right to vote is "no guarantee of rights."
"It is a welcome, albeit limited, step along the long road towards gender equality in Saudi Arabia, and a testament to the long struggle of women's rights activists there," said Philip Luther, the human rights group's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa, in a statement. "It is, however, much overdue and does not go nearly far enough."
"The whole system of women's subordination to men in Saudi Arabia needs to be dismantled," Luther said.
Saleh Al-Namla, one of the 150 members of the Consultative Council, expressed no doubts that women will join the council in 2013, and called it a very significant step.
"I think it's hugely important," he said. "They will be full members of the Shura Council just like anybody else. We have women advisers, but in the next round of Shura Council appointments, they will be full members of the committee just like any other member."
The U.S. State Department notes that there are 13 advisers on the council. Al-Namla said the 13 advise the council, but are not among the 150 members.
The changes the king announced follow increasing pressure, from outside and inside Saudi Arabia, to give women the right to vote and greater political participation.
Earlier this year, Saudi women activists wrote the government requesting that women be allowed to vote and be candidates in the municipal elections, according to the U.S. Library of Congress.
Saudi Arabia's "Minister of Municipality and Rural Affairs declared that Saudi women will not be able to either run or vote in this election," the Library of Congress reported on its blog. "According to news reports, the Minister stated that the ban on women's participation is due to the lack of segregated voting facilities."
When election centers opened in April for voters to register, some groups of women turned up and were turned away. It was one of the first public acts of the "Saudi Women Revolution," a movement set up to campaign for the end of Saudi Arabia's discriminatory laws.
In June, a number of Saudi women took to the streets -- in cars -- to demand the right for women to drive and travel freely in the country.
There are no specific traffic laws that make it illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia. However, religious edicts are often interpreted as a prohibition of female drivers. Such edicts also prevent women from opening bank accounts, obtaining passports or even going to school without the presence of a male guardian.
Authorities stopped Manal al Sharif, 32, for driving a car May 21 and detained her the next day. She said she was forced to sign a form promising not to drive again and spent a week in jail. Her case became a rallying cry for women activists.
The U.S. State Department's human rights report on Saudi Arabia, published in 2011, notes many challenges facing women in Saudi Arabia in 2010:
"By law a female rape victim is at fault for illegal 'mixing of genders' and is punished along with the perpetrator."
"Women continued to face discrimination under the law and remained uninformed about their rights. Although they may legally own property and are entitled to financial support from their guardian, women have few political or social rights, and society does not treat them as equal members."
"The guardianship system requires that every woman have a close male relative as her 'guardian' with the authority to approve her travel ."
"Women risk arrest for riding in a vehicle driven by a male who is not an employee or a close male relative."
"Women also faced discrimination in courts, where the testimony of one man equals that of two women."
"The law requires a woman to obtain the permission of a male guardian to work if the type of business is not 'deemed appropriate for a woman.'"
The report also noted some improvements. "Increased efforts to protect women and children against domestic violence through the National Family Safety Program, as well as the Human Rights Commission, reflected a significant human rights achievement," the report said.
It also noted that in 2010, "women increasingly participated in political life, albeit with significantly less status than men."

a/your second childhood(redirected from a second childhood)
second childhood
1. A time in a person's life (especially an older person) when their mental capacity is reduced to that of a child, as due to disease or old age. After my grandfather suffered his second stroke, he really entered into a second childhood.
2. A period of rejuvenated or renewed interest in things that interest a child. Being a part of my son's life as he grows up has been like a second childhood for me, because seeing him experience the magic of the world has made me appreciate it again as well. Jerry's sort of been in his second childhood ever since he lost his job, as he's gotten back into model train building and video games.
second childhood
The dotage of old age; also, childlike playfulness in an adult. For example, Grandpa needs full-time care, now that he's in his second childhood, or Since he retired and started learning to fly, he's been in his second childhood. Depending on the context, this term may allude either to such problems of old age as losing one's mental or physical capacities or to delighting in new pleasures in a childlike fashion. [c. 1900]
second childhood
1. An adult's second childhood is a period of time when they have fun and do things that children typically enjoy. My father was a model railway man. My mother passes this off as his second childhood.
2. An elderly person's second childhood is when their mind has become weak and they can no longer care for themselves. We were shocked by his rapid descent into a second childhood.

Foo is one of the most well established guilds in the gaming community. From our beginnings in Subspace, in the early 90's, to our most recent conquests in GW2, Foo has been in every major game released during the past few decades. Among our most involved and dominated games are Star War Galaxies, Asheron's Call, Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft, Black Desert Online and so much more.
Foo not only boasts a variety of gaming experiences but a large and diverse member population. We are proud to have many members who enjoy every aspect of an MMO. Such diversity within our community is something Foo places extremely high value on. While fostering such a diverse and experienced gaming community, Foo has created life-long friendships, marriages, babies and probably some really bad porn by some of those people.
Our community is also proud to boast our base of operations, http://www.fooguild.com/. With over 370 members, and expecting 100 more to join for BDO, our guild website is a haven for members to collaborate; sharing ideas, thoughts, likes and dislikes within the gaming community and beyond.
Our member time zones are as diverse as our member population. Foo members stretch from Alaska (our fearless guild leader) to all the way Europe. Most Foo are currently within the US central time zone.
How we run our show
Foo's leadership feels little need for a heavy hand when it comes to administration. We have been operating this way a long time, learning along the way how best to spot and boot the turds quickly from our ranks. Foo has a policy to stay drama free and focused on enjoying the gaming and community experience. That being said, Foo also has a rich history of being among the best in every game we play. Whether we are crafting, PvPing, raiding, making alliances or enemies, Foo members know when it is business time comms clear and focus on the task at hand is paramount.
Foo employs the use of Discord as our primary text based communications and are using TS3 as our voice comms. Whilst on comms we encourage all members to interact and socialize. That being said, when it comes down to business Foo generally has 1 or 2 persons giving direction, while the troops actively listen and carry out their jobs.
Participation on our website is critical to our community members. Our guild forums support Tapatalk, so you can interact and be involved even when you are on the go.
I encourage you to read more in the other two posts regarding recruitment by using this link or clicking recruiting at the top of our website.

JOHANNESBURG — Al-Qaida in the Islamic Mahgreb, one of the violent al-Qaida-linked militias active in North and West Africa, claims to have executed a French hostage in retaliation for France's military operation in Mali.
The French military and other African forces, including those of Mali, are involved in heavy fighting in a northern mountainous region, Adrar des Ifoghas, where the militias holed up after losing control of the major northern towns. France has about 4,000 troops in Mali, in an operation designed to wipe out militias seen as posing a terrorist threat to Europe. The French government has promised its military action will be swift.
Al-Qaida in the Islamic Mahgreb told a Mauritanian news agency, Nouakchott Information AgencyTuesday that Philippe Verdon was beheaded March 10. The news agency cited an AQIM spokesman identified as Ghairawani.
About 15 French hostages are still being held in the region.
The militia's spokesman accused Verdon of spying and said French President Francois Hollande bore responsibility for the fates of other hostages.
A French foreign ministry spokesman told French media that the ministry was trying to verify the claim.
Verdon and another Frenchman, Serge Lazarevic, were abducted in November 2011 in the northern Malian town of Hombori, where they worked as geologists for a Malian company.
In a video released last April, Verdon said their living conditions were difficult and called on French authorities to negotiate their release.
Among the remaining French hostages still being held by al-Qaida affiliates is a family of seven, including four children, kidnapped recently in Cameroon and taken by motorcycle into northern Nigeria.
In the past, the militias in Mali have made lucrative ransom deals to bankroll their operations, and France is reported to have paid multimillion dollar ransoms to free its citizens. But since Hollande took office last year, France has ruled out paying ransoms or negotiating for the lives of hostages. The kidnappers' tactics appear to have changed, dangling the lives of hostages in the hope France will withdraw.
Francoise Larribe, the wife of hostage Daniel Larribe, told the French newspaper Le Monde this week that Hollande met with the families of hostages in January to tell them France would not pay ransoms to free their family members because the government was at war with the Islamist militias in Mali.
Verdon's father, Jean-Pierre Verdon, unaware his son had already been beheaded, told French radio Tuesday that the family had no news of any kind.
"We are told nothing. On the French side, we are told nothing. The jihadists don't talk either. We are totally in the dark and it is insufferable," he said.
The elder Verdon was officially informed Wednesday morning of the claim his son had been executed. He told the Agence France-Presse news agency that he believed his son was dead.
"I'm not under any illusion, but I will wait for confirmation," he said.
Four hostages seized in 2010 were reportedly held by an Algerian-born al-Qaida commander, Abou Zeid, responsible for the kidnappings of about 20 foreigners. However, Chadian forces reported that Abou Zeid was killed in fighting in Mali last month, along with Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the al-Qaida in the Islamic Mahgreb leader who took hundreds of people hostage in a southern Algeria gas plant in January.
The AQIM spokesman, Ghairawani, was asked Tuesday whether Abou Zeid and Belmokhtar had been killed, but he neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

The case for keeping John Buck
Oddly enough, we still get the impression that many if not most Jays fans are perfectly comfortable with the notion of him heading into the sunset after this season. Between the fact that many fans hadn't given much consideration to Buck before this season, that he will likely qualify as a Type B free agent (compensatory pick!) and the fact that PCL MVP JPA is waiting in the wings, we're getting the sense that there isn't much of a demand for his return in 2011. This, in spite of the gawdy counting stats he's piled up (leading AL full-time catchers in HRs), and his All-Star selection this season.
(Okay, those are meaningless accolades. But we're building up to something here. Come along for the ride.)
Still, Buck has posted a more than respectable 2.3 WAR this season, which puts him in a class with Matt Wieters (2.4) and not far behind the backstops of our AL East competition in Jorge Posada and Victor Martinez (both at 2.8). That should be impressive, especially considering how his performance has outstripped that of dreamboats like Chris Ianetta (0.5), Ryan Doumit (1.2) or Yadier Molina (2.0).
And speaking of dreamboats, we know that there is ludicrous piles of love for J.P. Arencibia, but setting him up to be a premium offensive catcher while handling a young pitching staff is going to be a tall order. Having one season to serve as an understudy to a veteran or at least sharing the load wouldn't kill the youngster. Also, we love the concept of the Battery Committee Meetings that Buck and José Molina have undertaken this year, and the idea of including Arencibia in those for a year before he needs to run them himself would seem to make sense to us.
Plus, Buck will still only be 30 years old next year, and - this is going to sound like an oxymoron, we know - with a couple of partial seasons missed due to injury, we're guessing that his body still has some miles on it.
We recognize the downside, of course. Buck is going to cost more after this season. He'll be as likely to fall back as he is to maintain his performance. He's going to cost the Jays a pick that could be used as further fodder for the Eternal Building Process.
Still, the Jays are going to need someone to carry a load of at least 60-odd games behind the plate next year, and given the dearth of interesting catchers after Victor Martinez on the free agent market (Josh Bard, Gerald Laird, David Ross, A.J. Pierzynski), it would seem that an additional year or two with Buck for the sake of continuity wouldn't be the worst choice that the team could make.

Bringing back Buck only costs the Jays a pick if he regresses severely and isn't type B again. Otherwise it only delays a pick. If he plays this well again he could make type A, at which point it's trading one pick now for two picks later.

if you can get Buck on a contract that allows you to get rid of him after one year then you sign him and commit to a 2/3 - 1/3 arrangement with him and JPA. Buck would be nuts to sign such a deal unless he had no alternatives. So it seems more likely than not that the Jays will allow themselves to be outbid for his services and put JPA either in to the lead role, or in to a platoon situation.
3 points against keeping Buck:
1. after listening to so much nonsense about Varitek and his abilities to handle the staff down here i'm inclined to write that intangible off almost completely.
2. as has been pointed out by others, JPA caught most of these guys on the way up.
3. there's room for improvement defensively over Buck, so that might compensate for whatever losses you incur with his replacement in the batter's box.

I'm glad you cleared that up, because I have only a tenuous grasp on how compensation works.

Can't hurt to keep him. JPA and Buck are better than what we had this year. Like a few other Alex Ant pick-ups, it feels like the team is playing with house money (I carefully avoided the use of 'we" there).
Right now, I am holding onto the faint hope finishing 5th in the AL, but I am 4 fifths erect over the coming hot stove season.
(Four-fifths is about the best I can do these days, btw.)

I don't feel like the Jays really have much choice in the matter. Buck will get a multi-year deal, and he's said he wants to be somebody's starting catcher. Even if the Jays let him start in 2011, any multi-year contract from them would have to come with the stipulation that he'll almost undoubtedly be a back-up catcher by the end of it, which would probably deter him from signing here if AA even makes an offer at all.
- September 9, 2010 at 3:50 PM
- Ian Hunter said...
Sure, why not? Molina has a $1 million dollar option for 2010, but maybe that money would be better served going towards keeping Buck around.
I'm sure AA would also be willing to listen to offers at the 2011 deadline as well if the price/offer is right.
- September 9, 2010 at 4:05 PM
Just a thought, why not sign Buck to a one year deal, have him be the primary catcher with JPA backing him up. Move Lind to 1st full time so JPA can DH and still get in lots of AB's while learning from Buck. Snider in LF, Wells CF, Bausista at RF, 3B ... not too sure, Escobar SS, Hill 2B.
- September 9, 2010 at 4:14 PM
- Ty said...
Anon, that would probably be best for the Jays, but I'd imagine that Buck could find something better than a one-year deal elsewhere. I think that's a fair assumption considering he was an All Star this year, but if there's a chance he can be had for just one season, I'd love to see him back.
- September 9, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Buck will only return if I can convince him to sign a team-friendly contract with several un-obtainable performance-based incentives attached, and cheap team options on 2012 and 2013 will act as as insurance.
I will also be working on signing Jose Bautista to an extension, without committing much in terms of (actual) funds, as i have swindled him before, and will do so again.
My team has indeed shocked the world, and my stated goal of 85+ wins this season will become a reality. "Why?", you ask. The answer is simple: I am a brilliant business strategist, and a formidable basebal mind. The combination of beauty and brains has never been as prominent as it has been in my case.
Grant me your loyalty and honor my name, as I am the answer to your problems, and the tycoon that will deliver your wildest dreams. Consider a metaphor describing my business savvy, which has been stated by my allies and enemies alike: I can turn water into wine (look at my sexy move that brought you a top five shortstop!).
Sure, the word is that I'll be "retiring", but take solace in the fact that my bloody hands will continue to reach into pockets around the world, aiding me in my rise to becoming the world's ultimate business magnate. My personal power will only grow with a successful professional sports franchise on my resume, and I will stop at nothing, and go to any lengths to bring glory to my team. Trust me.
Sincerely, your magnanamous leader,
Handsome Tony Viner

It's never a good idea to sign a guy coming off a career year. Buck's been great for the Jays this year but there's no reason to expect him to play this well again. And if he doesn't hit like he did this year, he'll probably lose the type B status and the Jays won't get the pick.
It's a better idea to take the guaranteed pick now and not risk losing it in the future. Let someone else overpay for Buck.
- September 9, 2010 at 10:40 PM
- Gil Fisher said...
I wouldn't sign him to a multi year deal, and he won't sign a one year deal (or tender), so I think it's kind of moot.
It's a deep draft next year and that pick will be gold. We can sign the next Buck that comes on the market and turn him into another pick in 2012.

Funny, I was just having this discussion at the bar tonight. My friend made a good case for keeping Buck around for a year. He pointed out how a young staff with a rookie catcher always seems to struggle (Texas until Molina took over, Baltimore), while with a veteran staff you can bring in a young catcher. He felt that since the rotation is still learning, we need a veteran catcher with JPA as the backup next year and since Buck wants to stay here, why not? He's done a fantastic job handling the staff this year.
- September 10, 2010 at 1:54 AM
Texas' pitching wasn't struggling until Molina got there and if anything he's made the team worse both offensively and from a helping the pitchers standpoint. 2 out of the 3 worst months for the pitchers have come on Molina's watch. Not that I believe for a second that the catcher has that much influence on a game anyways.
Likewise you could make the argument that rookie C's like Santana and Posey had a huge impact and made their respective teams better. So having a young catcher lead the staff isn't a bad thing.
- September 10, 2010 at 7:35 AM
Buck would be great for 2011. However, as some have pointed out (and as others have failed to grasp), Buck is not available for one year.
- September 10, 2010 at 8:50 AM
- Tao of Stieb said...
I guess I didn't write it in the post, but it was in my mind that Buck will want more than one year. I figured the Zaunie Special two-year contract would be the most favoured approach here.
- September 10, 2010 at 9:47 AM
- Gil Fisher said...
Yes then I think I would be against a two-year special.
At some point before that contract was up, I'd want JPA getting the lion's share and I don't think that would sit well with Buck. A trade in year two would not yield the same quality of player that the supplemental pick in June would.
There'll be other one-year options available out there like there was last year. They might not have a Bucktastic year, but Buck might not either.
- September 10, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Gotta go with the not retaining Buck side on this one. Deep draft this year + no assurance that Buck would fetch a pick next year or thereafter + not willing to commit longish-term to Buck + Buck probably insisting on a multi-year contract = no deal.
Buck wants to be "the guy" not the mentor to "the new guy" it'll probably mean Molina get's more starts next year then this year (although he's been a pleasent surprise this year too), But Molina knows his role and won't expect more.
Really thou, I'd prefer AA spend his time searching for improvements at 3B.
- September 10, 2010 at 11:32 AM
- William J. Tasker said...
Buck is in a perfect marketing position. He's combined a good year with his free agency and a myriad of need for his services. The Rangers, the Mariners and the Dodgers are just a few of the teams that could use a guy like Buck and would be willing to give him a multi-year deal to get him.
It's time to wrap your mind around another year of Molina and the emergence of the kid.
- September 10, 2010 at 12:25 PM
- Gil Fisher said...
I'd let Molina walk too, especially if he's a type B free agent (I recall he was on the cusp). There's plenty of mediocre catcher talent available on the cheap each year.
- September 10, 2010 at 1:14 PM
Keeping Buck also makes sense if you consider that:
1 - most contending teams have great continuity between pitchers and catchers. The catchers know their pitchers so well that they can help them through the game. While JP has caught alot of these guys on the way and knows them, he does not know them over the last few years and they are different pitchers
2 - with Overbay leaving (Thank God), move JP over to first where he seems perfectly suited. Big guy, power hitter. JP can still learn the pitchers and this provides us with added safety of have 3 catchers on the 24 man roster (with JP playing 1st). You could also let JP DH next year and get the same benefit. In this scenario, he gets to focus on hitting and learning the league/ our pitchers.
3 - Buck at 30 has many more years left. give him a 2 year plus an option or 3 year contract and he should still be able to produce at a reasonable level for the term of the deal.
4 - we will have a very different bullpen in 2011. Gone are: Tallet (please,please,please), Downs & Fraser. We will likely see some young arms like Purcey, Roenicke not to mention the just picked up Buckholtz. You need a veteran behind the plate to guide these kids and Gregg to close out games.

Carl Hansen & Son aquired the exclusive rights to manufacture Carl Wanscher's furniture from the Danish company P.J. Furniture, which will be gradually integrated into the Carl Hansen & Son Group. The Colonial Chair was originally designed by Ole Wanscher in 1949, but it wasn't until the mid-50s that PJ Furniture started producing the chair.
Wanscher and PJ's collaboration started via Gunnar Bratvold, Editor of Mobilia, the most influential furniture and design magazine at the time. He was bored of what he saw in his magazine and called many of the Danish architects up and asked if they had any new designs.
He then matched them with appropriate manufacturers, which was how the chair was born. The name Colonial relates to Wanscher's fascination with 1700 English furniture design. The chair has been in production since that time, but available mainly in Europe or in US through auction houses and antiques dealers. This is the first time the chair will be widely available in the US.

Dr. Heather L. Stein, Psy D
Contact Information
Accepting new clients: No
Hello and thank you for your interest! I anticipate having openings in about three to four weeks. If your needs are not pressing, you are welcome to contact me via phone or at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we can talk about placing you on my short-term wait list.
I appreciate your understanding.
(Adapted from Weeks & Treat's Couples in Treatment; Young & Long's Counseling and Therapy for Couples)
Listed below are twelve of the most common communication patterns/styles that can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. At the end of the list, there is a form that both you and your partner can complete, so that you can identify and reflect on your own and your partner's ways of expressing yourselves. Please keep in mind that if discussion about your feedback leads to arguments, it could be very beneficial to bring in a neutral third party, like a psychotherapist, to help facilitate your process safely and successfully.
Mind reading:
Refers to the idea that you really know what your partner is thinking, feeling, etc, without checking out those assumptions. This often occurs as a reaction to a message or nonverbal cue, such as an uplifted eyebrow.
Example: "I didn't even tell you about the free tickets to the concert because I knew you wouldn't want to go."
"I could tell by the look on your face that you didn't want to eat at that restaurant."
You may want to ask yourself what signals, both internal and external, tell you that you are mind reading.
This refers to attacking the person as well as the problem. The problem should be defined in terms of what a person does, not who s/he is. It is counterproductive to criticize the other person's character or blame the other. The two most common types of personalization are labeling/name-calling ("You're hopeless") and generalizing ("you never listen to me.")
When discussing a problem in the relationship, the couple should stay focused on the behavior and not attack each other personally.
Distracting/Kitchen sinking:
There are two ways of distracting. One involves leaving the theme of the discussion by bringing up other unresolved past and present problems, as well as predicted future problems. A related distraction involves one person bringing up an issue and the other person bringing up another issue, and so on ("attack and counterattack").
It is essential to adopt the rule of staying on one topic at a time.
Polarizing language:
Certain concepts in our language only serve to distance couples from each other. These include right versus wrong, always and never, truth versus lie. Black and white language should be eliminated during discussions. It is natural for some people to think in these terms, but it is important to avoid expressing them. These concepts can be viewed as judgemental, which can be inflammatory.
The panel discussion:
This refers to the tendency for partners to be excessively rational in their discussions so that the underlying feelings are not expressed. People who communicate in this way are often in dual-career partnerships, are highly educated, or merely place a great deal of value on being civil and avoiding conflict.
Partner A: "The thing that is the most troublesome is that you never call me and tell me when you are going to be late. I don't know how to plan the evening." (Intent: I am annoyed and lonely)
Partner B: "I suggest from this point on that that you assume that if I am not home by 7:00, you can make plans that don't include me." (Impact: I feel angry and pressured.)
Reflecting on and expressing one's feelings can help to move the discussion along and assist in resolving conflicts.
Being right:
The more unhappy and disconnected that a couple feels, the more both partners may believe that they are "right" and therefore justified in their viewpoint. Inflexibility can be seen in one or both partners. When each person remains rigid and is not open to the other's viewpoint, the situation is at a standstill.
Summarizing self syndrome/cocktail listening:
Some partners rehearse what they want to say and simply wait until the other person stops talking, instead of listening to what is being said. This "summarizing self" continues to reiterate the same complaint without reacting to the partner's statement. The result is that the conversation goes nowhere.
Example: Partner A: "I said ABC."
Partner B: "I said XYZ."
Partner A: "But I said ABC."
Partner B: "But I said XYZ."
This occurs when you answer your partner's complaint with one of your own.
Example: Partner A: "I wish you would not spend so much money on video poker."
Partner B: "Well, I wish you wouldn't invite all of your friends over every weekend."
Although a cross-complaint can sound like a response to the other person's complaint, it is actually a defensive reaction rather than an attempt to solve the original issue being presented.
Incongruent messages:
These communications contain positive and negative aspects or verbal and nonverbal messages that do not carry the same meaning.
Example: one member of a couple verbally encourages the person to talk while continuing to stare intently at the television.
The "stinger" pattern:
This is an incongruent message containing a positive statement with a criticism at the end.
Example: "Sure, you want to spend a lot of time with me now, but why couldn't we have done this five years ago?"
Nonsupportive statements:
Picking apart someone's character and questioning his/her motives and abilities disrupts communication and decreases trust. Often individuals are unaware that this has been the norm in their family. People who grew up in such environments end up bringing this kind of communication pattern to their other relationships and must become aware of the damaging nature of such insults.
Not hearing the positives:
A common cycle in many distressed couples occurs when compliments, praise, and recognition are not heard. Instead, one or both members of the couple hear only the negative aspects of the communication.
If you recognize that some of these obstacles are in play in your own and/or your partner's communications, you may want to open the .pdf document linked below. The document duplicates this article and offers fillable worksheets to help you identify and address these communication concerns.

How do I track a SAR Application in Family Tree Maker?
A question I haven't seen asked, but I have found a number of these records for a specific line in my family. So, I figured out what I wanted to capture and what the Output might be, if I or someone else would want to apply. I don't know the rules for such an application, but only know some of the valuable information that are in the existing application. Based in the applications, could I generate information for an application.
I created three new Facts for my File:
SAR Ancestor:
SAR Descendent:
SAR Membership:
What I wanted to capture for each person named in the application is these three items. I look at more for those who are named in more than one application.
The application number in this example is 91617. Wilfred Wason Blunt was applying as a descendant of John Ross Key. In the 1st column on the right is the number of Citations, which would be this application, 3 in the second column, indicates that there are three pages of Images from that Application and can be found in the Media Tab on the Right.
This may be overkill, but since I was trying to read the information on these forms, (very poor image in this case), I might as well document for each individual that I found along the way. In this case there were 14 people with dates, some I had and some was new information.
At the end of the data input, I created a Descendant Chart between John Ross Key and Wilfred Wason Blunt.

We are experts in using the following platforms:
JShop is a widely used ecommerce platform that we have worked with for the last 10 years. It provides a solid, robust shopping cart system to which additional functionality can be added very easily.
Drupal is a highly flexible platform used where the requirements of a client fall outside of "standard" or simple ecommerce solutions. Drupal works from a framework perspective, allowing us to build from the "ground floor up" to achieve the result that is required - however unusual.
Building ecommerce websites using Wordpress and the Woocommerce plugin is a very effective solution, especially if further requirements such as online booking via a calendar function are needed. The plugins used by Wordpress integrate very well to provide a good, all round ecommerce package.
If your ecommerce requirement is particularly bespoke and is something that packages with pre programmed core platforms as shown above will not manage to cope with without significant amendments, we would recommend that we build your website from scratch using the PHP framework. We are able to programme the site according to your exact needs and as many of our clients have found, the results are impressive, easy to use websites that deliver exactly what is required.
