How do you deal with introvert vs. extrovert tensions?
When I was president of my fraternity in college, I noticed a lot of tension between myself and some of the extroverts in leadership positions. They often felt that I wasn't moving fast enough, or that I couldn't make decisions effectively. As an introvert, how do you convey to people that you need time and space to make effective decisions? As an extrovert, how do you work with people that you feel aren't deciding things quickly enough? Are there other things that make you feel tension between introverts and extroverts?
Martha Love
Mar 7 2012: Michael, I am an extrovert and I would want an introvert on my team any day. While I'm out there responding first to the public, the introvert is figuring out a better plan. It takes both to make the best teams and we depend on each other for our different gifts, as Isabel Myers in her MBTI called the type differences. Extroverts don't mind surprises because we like to learn through trial and error, where as introverts like to think before acting and like to have a plan. You don't always have time for thinking up a plan but you sure need one in the long run, well as soon as possible. Two extroverts might just jump off a cliff together, go too far out on a limb without enough forethought, but an introvert on the team will always bring you back before you go too far out. Of course, don't ever try to stop an introvert once they get a plan of action! Introverts can be some truly powerful people. So extroverts need to allow introverts to introspect and introverts need to respect the extroverts quick movements. Just remember, we extroverts get in and out of trouble 10 times to your once, and it may feel different for us to be learning through trial and error than if it were you. So please don't scold us for not thinking enough before we act and we will enjoy your abilities to take your time introspecting and mulling over ideas before acting. It is a different learning style that we have and we need each other.

Mar 7 2012: It is interesting living in a society of leadership. To have leadership, you need followers. As I am not a follower I have the problem of being an leader and a hard core introvert. I do what I want and like and people jump on board and ask me for direction. And it happens over and over. I get tired of the whole leadership thing, go somewhere else and it happens again.
- +3
I have been working hard on this leadership thing for several years. I finally gave in and decided I had better do something about it. One of the things that helps is to do a measurement like the Meyers Briggs and have fun discussions about it with the your work group. A lot of understanding can happen in those discussions and as long as it is done in a spirit of respect, respect will follow. The other insight is that you learn to leverage and spotlight everyone's talents and give them the opportunity to develop in areas they want to and sometimes in areas they don't want to with opportunity, encouragement, and support.
I HATE public speaking. So of course, life took me to a place where that is a big part of my work. My work group now knows and understands this and supports when I have to go out and do this. And the extroverts at the table have a better understanding of the need to reign it in sometimes and are not offended if the group needs them to. I like to think about decisions too but I have really worked on my flexibility and being able to drop and run with a critical decision. But I also communicate about the non-critical decisions, I'll get back to you by 3 pm.
The other thing that is helpful if some are not as quick to comprehend is to just make a rule. Something like: If the office door is closed, enter only if the building is on fire. But you have to be real careful to not close your door all the time. Only when you really need it.
The last suggestion I have is to really leverage silence especially in meetings. If you do it right people think you're really smart.
Stuart Woods
Mar 7 2012: Linda, I read your reply to this question with great interest. As an introvert you have unique skills and attributes which make excellent leadership qualities. I know as an extrovert I form thinking through talking, this can be a real weakness if I don't have the right people with me to support me to do this. Influence as a leader comes in infinite ways and reading your reply your character clearly has a positive impact on the teams you lead...they are lucky to have someone who is thoughtful and articulate; ultimately your self-awareness is your greatest strength. Trust yourself and keep leading, the world needs leaders.

Linda Taylor
Mar 8 2012: Thank you Stuart. It is a wonderful compliment. I also think that extroverts have great leadership qualities. The ability to be on point, out in front and quickly is always a strength in leadership. But I also understand about talking out problems as I have many extroverts in my group. Sometimes you just want to take the words that come out and help them put it back into their mouths:) But if you are good and leverage talent, it will be a safe place and mistakes and learning can happen.
- +1
I truly admire the extroverts and their ability to just walk up to someone and talk to them. That is so difficult for me. I work on it but I would rather have dental work.
But how a person leads is very important too. In my mind we are always a group and everyone contributes their strengths. I am finding with clear expectations and mentorship the biggest decisions I need to make lately are what time to break for lunch. Its getting close to the time for me to leave again...Mar 8 2012: So it seems as if maybe the key to being a good leader isn't in introvert vs. extrovert, but in the passion and ability to leverage differences.
Linda Taylor
Mar 8 2012: Great start. I really don't think it matters if you are an introvert or an extrovert. What is important is that you know yourself and your group. The only other thing I do, is I am always providing opportunity for each member to gain the skills to replace me. I know that sounds weird but it seems to work. Like I said it's about lunch.Mar 7 2012: Extroverts: For them everything is a problem and that has to be solved at once other the world will fall next moment. My daughter ( Extrovert) She goes to office and send me an email asking my approval to resign, when I was busy with my work. I used to say: "Please wait" then she comes to chatting in the next second
- +1
" How long, Dad?"
Wait till I finish my discussion with my client -
Oh You are busy with office work?
Yes, can you hold your resignation till I finish?
Oh! Dad, I can wait till evening .. Take care of your client.
That was how I used to handle her.
By the time she comes home and I reached home expecting and preparing myself about handling her, she was on the mobile talking to many people and then say hello to me and go to bed.
Introverts - my son
I start watching the TV and he comes there and start watching...
For an hour nothing happens - both are seriously busy in watching the TV.
" I don't understand why people are celebrating these festivals? he will say.
Yes.. ( that's all)
Silence ...
Dad - do you ever participate in every function in your office - every function??
" What is function? and why they should celebrate functions? I ask
"That is my question "- he gets encouragement.
The functions are invented to bring all kinds of people on a same level playing ground.
What do you mean? - his doubt.
As you know all people are not made with fixed measure of knowledge, intelligence, wisdom etc. There are always difference in degrees of these capacities or wisdom etc., So, some people talk too much, few people only listen, many people fake and certain people do have ideas but may not be in a position to express...So these meetings will enable them to bring with par with other people. "
This way, I size the people, for extroverts immediate NO is danger, accept and agree with them and postpone it and then handle them. Introverts - best thing is discuss the subject deeply and then advise them.
Anne Dagen
Mar 6 2012: It's not just getting others to understand you, you need to develop some understanding of the others as well. If you have an awareness of their drivers it will help you to consider whether you can modify your approach to produce faster results. And if you understand where you are able to compromise, you are in a much better position to negotiate the extra time you really do need.
- +2
You're focused on doing things the way that feels right for you. The extroverts are focused on the way that feels right for them. People are like that, whether extrovert or introvert. The ones that get consistent results are the ones who can compromise and negotiate.
Mar 8 2012: You make a good point Anne. I suppose I hadn't really considered that I was only ever trying to buy myself time to think about things, instead of considering why they wanted decisions so quickly. In that vein, is there anything that bothers or annoys extroverts as they work with introverts? What do the extroverts in the discussion wish the introverts could do better?
Wu Ted
Mar 18 2012: This conversation connects with my own recent life events, attending a business school as self discovered introverted leader.
- +1
The rate decisions are made, in my own experience, has had no correlation with the distinction between introvert or extrovert; contending only with competency of the individual. The introverted face such bias of decision making 'lag' in lieu of their judgment making process, which makes incompetency all the more painstakingly obvious than with extroverts. The incompetent introvert when faced with a challenge beyond their scope reflexively pause, seeking the internal mechanisms which they find comfort in. On the flip side, the extrovert when faced with a challenge beyond their scope reflexively seek out others' opinions, which has the potential to be perceived as a form of decisiveness/competency amongst peers.
"The most comfortable place for an introvert is not as a leader"
Heather White
This notion that extroverts are more 'comfortable' within a leadership role than an equally competent introvert highlights only the cultural bias to place extroverts in said roles. Familiarity begets comfort and only through repeated interactions is this achievable. So, here is the call to action to introverts everywhere; you have a voice - speak.
The distinctions between these two leadership styles was just not made in my western studies on organizations. Until we recognize, highlight, and integrate these two polar styles synergistically - our organizations everywhere will be the poorer.Mar 9 2012: I deal with the tenson by facing it and not being myself, at work and social settings I act as an extrovert. I am an introvert but only close friends and some family know that. This has let to be put in places of responsability and the one in front. I really prefer to be in the back on ponder the questions then acting on the solution.
Ben Crause
Mar 6 2012: I think I got an idea what you mean and how you might feel.
- +1
At the moment I am in a leadership position myself. Supervisor in a 10 man department. My boss is very great, a good leader and always supporting me and helping me to learn and grow.
He does realize and accept that I am an introvert. This is a two edged sword.
On the one hand it describes my strength. I am an expert in my field and receive acknowledgement beyond my department for it.
However, the people in my department expressed towards my boss they would wish I would become a bit more open to them. Approaching them more often, Small talk and so.
Yes, I do sit in my corner and often feel sage there but I don't intend to hide there. We have an open office (no walls, just small table separators).
The introvert I am says: I hate small talk. I will approach my people when they express they need me or when I feel I should help them. I don't want to bother them with silly stuff or waste their time. They're all great and commited to quality work. They do not need me often.
The learning and young supervisor in me says: You do need to show your team members that you care for them. Take note of them more frequently. Show them you acknowledge them.
And now more towards your actual question: The problem is you can teach neither of these.
You cannot change an introvert into an extrovert and vice versa. You cannot change yourself (too much) either.
Now what to do? I for one believe in the way of saying nurture your strengths and aceept your weak spots.
If someone complains that you take too long to make decisions that person is either addressing the wrong person, putting you in the wrong field or not giving you the tasks that correspond to your strengths.
It all depends on what you wish for in your job. Whatever you want: Communicate this with your boss.
If I need a quick decision I will address those people I know who can do so. I too must address the strengths of my team members.
I hope this is of help to you.Mar 6 2012: The most comfortable place for an introvert is not as a leader - which is probably why you're asking this question. You have identified yourself as an introvert but then expect compromises for you to function in that role. Not everyone put in a position of leadership is right for the role. Extrovert's tend to be dynamic - acting on impulse. Introvert's tend to be reflective - acting only after consideration. Therefore, an introvert would normally feel more comfortable as the leader's advisor. Leader's need to be in the spotlight - advisor's don't. Advisor's have more time to think and reflect - they see the wood for the trees and are able to influence the leader's decisions. They are the true power. The role of a leader is to be visible - to provide direction - to inspire and encourage - and to take the flack when things go wrong. The role of the advisor is to understand the internal and external environment (social, political, economic etc...) - consider the probable impacts of alternative actions - formulate and present a strategy (or several) to the leader. Both roles are vital and a wise leader will value their advisor - after all it's the leader in the hot seat if things go wrong and they can't blame their advisor without losing face. Since most people are extrovert, yet their are very few leadership roles, most extrovert's are frustrated. Introvert's (at least those who have not had leadership thrust upon them) are more content, rational and productive employees / club members.
Mar 8 2012: Heather, I appreciate many of the distinctions you make between introverts and extroverts in the area of talents and preferences. I'd respectfully disagree though that introverts are more suited for an advisory role in an organization. I'm an introvert and a minister. The central aspects of my job are very people oriented, whether I'm meeting with people one-on-one, leading groups or speaking for 30 minutes in front of a crowd every week (which are very energizing for extroverts and draining for introverts). I know and follow the careers of many ministers who are strong, inspiring, visionary leaders of growing and dynamic churches and para-church organizations. You'd be surprised (as I was) to discover how many of them are introverts! I think the distinction is less about leadership vs. advisory roles and more about recognizing your specific strengths and weaknesses.
I think a key distinction between introverts and extroverts is energy. What energizes you and what drains you? Introverts are energized by being alone with their thoughts, while this sounds like punishment to an extrovert! Extroverts are energized by being around people, while too much time spent with people drains an introvert. As a leader, there are some tasks that energize you and others that drain you. The key is to find balance, and when able delegate some of the tasks that drain you to someone who may be energized by those tasks. I've found that many of may tasks drain me, so I make sure that, in my personal time away from work I plan time for activities that energize me so I don't burn out. Hope this is helpful!
Fritzie -
Mar 8 2012: Eric, your description of introversion/extroversion is the one with which I am familiar as well. I have not before this thread heard of processing speed as part of the definition.
- +2
Mar 17 2012: processing speed is a part of the definition as I understand it. that does not mean "smarter" or "dumber". just faster or slower. Introvert brains, as it has been described at least, use slower pathways than extrovert brains do. this is probably why it is draining for introverts to deal with extroverts and vice versa... we are not processing the things around us with the same rhythm and it's hard to accommodate a different speed.
"slower" is often better, when it comes to thought...Mar 9 2012: Heather, the role of a puppet is 'to be visible - to provide direction - to inspire and encourage - and to take the flack when things go wrong' especially if the true power is in the 'advisor.' Puppets are disposable talking heads that are interchangeable and empty. The reality is know yourself and your strengths and weaknesses and know those same things about your team. I does not matter if you are an introvert or an extrovert.
Wu Ted
Mar 18 2012: Without knowing the context/my life I offer the reader this:
- 0
To: 'the extrovert'
Differentiate the competent and incompetent introvert, spending no time listening to the latter.
To: 'the introvert'
Your negative bias towards the leadership role stems from a failure within current cultural context to highlight your strengths; and their are many which prepare you for a place of authority. Hone your internal processes/mechanisms to offer you snap decisions. Lose the obligation to justify/share in the specifics; rely more on being right and offering review in lieu of your team's success carrying out said orders. It was the synergistic ability of snap unquestioning decision making and being right consecutively that landed me the majority of the project manager roles throughout my College years. Roles either group appointed or thrust upon me and not sought; the key was (aside from being consistently right and decisive) showing compassion to the extrovert's method of madness.
WARNING: understand that through the loss of 'sharing' the decision making process you too lose the feeling of shared failure. The introvert will be more likely castigated for failure to execute than an extrovert. Case in point? Look to the story of how Steve Jobs got fired from his own company; an introverted leader himself.Mar 10 2012: Mike. I am a big fan of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) and do not have any medical or psych revelations. So let us look at your tool box, yep mechanical tools. As you veiw the tools in the box you come to notice that each tool is designed for a specific size or application. So it is with life. We are all individuals that come with different qualities. I see some people as so focused that they would not know the building is on fire. Others are so glib that they don't ever take an issue or even life serious. My advice to you is to not take the advice that I have read below. I think that you know yourself as you made that clear in your statement. Your style is your style. The most important thing that you will be known for is the decision itself, not the time it took you to arrive at that decision. Is it approperiate, applicable, and correct for the senerio presented. You are who you are be comfortable with that. Best of luck. BobMar 8 2012: Hi Michael! You were the president of a frat and an introvert? Who in the hell, put this in your mind? So,, I am a fence sitter! Would I have survived the fraternity? You are fine, humans will be humans. I love your question and it is making me think! ( crap ) :)Mar 7 2012: I have wondered whether introverts face a handicap in entrepreneurial ventures because they tend not to cultivate or bring with them the sort of networks that extroverts may have. In situations in which an employer is hiring, the employer may well prefer a thoughtful introvert willing to work behind the scenes without seeking the lime-light. But in entrepreneurial environments in which partnerships and connection may be useful or vital both for the work itself and for promoting the work, it would seem being an introvert is a handicap, regardless of the person's talent or advantages.Mar 7 2012: In the case of Introverts - decision making is taking long time because they check the pros and cons and would like to see the many alternatives and may not be able to decide on any one. The problem with extrovert is Instant decision making and it is a dangerous trend. You have to call the fire fighters when dealing with extroverts.
My son used ask me " I need space - give me time to decide" - It is not space, in fact you need some one close to you to certify that your idea or decision is good. For extroverts - no support is needed because they don't bother about consequences. The best thing is -- look around, select a good friend - particularly whose wave lengths matches with yours.. whether male or female - no issues - discuss everything except this extro or intro issues. When I was in late 30s an young lady ( colleague) met me and we became friends, close friends. Whatever I speak - she used to encourage me, praise me, ask me doubts, give me such a kind of support - I learned computer without going to any institute and trained all the office staff. So you need some one, some one on whom you can have good confidence.Mar 7 2012: Michael, I would first of all like to "second" the comments of Martha Love. She is right on the mark. I am an introvert and have found myself in numerous leadership positions throughout my life. These have usually been situations where I was asked to be the leader. I came to realize it was because at some level others understood I would be reasoned, balanced, and measured in my role. My first was also as president of my college fraternity where I experienced similar challenges working with the extroverts. What I wish someone had told me then that I came to learn much later in life is to simply let extroverts know that you need time and a bit of space to think things through. I learned to use these moments as an opportunity to teach by offering the knowledge of how the two personality types work as Martha shared. Once extroverts understood the difference they came to value my capabilities and approach.

Just a few years after discovering his own passion for comedy, Silver Spring native Martin Amini returns to the Washington, D.C., area this weekend to host a show featuring a new crop of up-and-coming talent.
Amini is the co-producer and master of ceremonies for the D.C. stop on the Comedy's Best Kept Secret Tour, playing at Club Heaven and Hell in Adams Morgan on Friday night. The tour has enjoyed a 19-city run and showcases aspiring comedians in states across the country. This weekend, D.C.'s best kept secrets are Martin Montana, Gordon Baker-Bone and New York comedian and producer Dan Frigolette.
"These are the funniest guys you haven't heard of yet," Frigolette said. "The idea is to get some exposure for these guys who haven't popped yet."
Just last year, Amini was one of those guys.
Born and raised in Silver Spring, Amini attended John F. Kennedy High School and graduated from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda. After graduation, he earned a degree in entrepreneurship from the business school at the University of Maryland. Amini moved out to San Francisco after college with the intention of going to law school. But it wasn't long after taking his LSATs that Amini said he realized it wasn't the career he wanted and decided to move to Los Angeles.
"I moved out to L.A. to pursue something," Amini said. "I wasn't sure what ..."
During his first year in L.A., Amini lived with his cousin, comedian Max Amini. It was Max who initially suggested Amini check out the entertainment industry.
"He asked me, 'What do you plan on doing?'" remembered Amini.
When Amini told his cousin he was thinking of using his background in business to open a hookah lounge, Max told him: "But then you'll just be a hookah lounge owner."
"[He said], 'L.A. is the entertainment capital of the world. You could do anything,'" Amini said. "And that's when he planted the seed."
Amini soon started promoting his cousin's shows and eventually landed an internship with Ben Stiller's Red Hour Productions. After earning some experience through jobs with other local production companies, Amini bought a camera and headed out on the road with his cousin, filming his comedy acts. It was his first real exposure to the world of stand-up comedy.
"[Max] caters to a Middle Eastern audience and I remember watching him sell out shows ... and saying, 'I wish I could come back to my community and do that,'" Amini said.
Last summer, Amini moved back to Montgomery County to do just that.
He started doing stand-up with District Comedy, a booking production company started by local comics Ralph Cooper and Brad Ryan.
"I started off just talking about myself," Amini said. "What works for most comics is they talk about their own experiences. I started immediately just making fun of myself ... and it worked."
It worked so well, in fact, that Amini admits the early success went to his head.
"I thought, 'Aww, man, I'm a natural,'" he said. "I was a little cocky ... the second time wasn't nearly as funny as the first and the third and fourth sucked, too."
But after a few humbling experiences in the beginning, Amini seems to have found his footing. He now runs the Martin Amini & Friends Comedy Show at Heaven and Hell every Friday night. His open mics and showcases at Brass Monkey, also in Adams Morgan, earned Amini mention in DCist's Best Comedy Clubs in D.C.
Amini has also started his own production company, Silver City Productions, named for his hometown. He earns a living shooting commercials and promotional material for D.C. clubs.
With Amini's experience in L.A., and Frigolette's in New York, the producers' expectations for the Best Kept Secret Tour are understandably high. But both say they haven't been disappointed in the D.C. comedy scene.
"There are a lot of guys doing a lot of great comedy in D.C.," Frigolette said.
"Being in L.A. ... I was spoiled a bit," Amini said. "But coming back to D.C., the talent level of D.C. comics is through the roof."

A correction has been made to the treasurer/ tax collector candidate statements.
Wednesday, May 7 — Lassen County residents seized the opportunity to question and meet local candidates running for county and city positions in the June 3 election.
On Wednesday, April 30, the Janesville Town Council hosted a forum for Janesville residents to have the opportunity to see how the county candidates would be able to help them.
"I think it went really well," said Austin Meinert, Janesville Town Council chairman. "Hopefully these events give people a better idea of who they are voting for … I have an idea of who I am voting for."
Additionally, on Thursday, May 1, the Lassen County Republican Central Committee hosted an event for the public to hear county and city statements and mingle afterward.
Mike Bartley, a Lassen County resident who attended the Republican Party meeting, claimed he felt the candidate night allowed him to change his mind on some of the races.
"I did not have everything firmed up yet," said Bartley.
However he claimed the most striking theme he heard during the evening was concerned about economic development.
"…To have someone more growth-minded … you need that (in a county)," he added.
Additionally, Republican meeting attendee Carol Byers stated the night helped her also confirm or change ideas about who to vote for in the upcoming elections. She also felt the evening was beneficial.
"People need to be informed voters and this gives them an opportunity to find out more," she said.
During the Janesville meeting, however, audience members were able to question individual candidates or all of them in the same race at once. Many questions were targeted at the District 3 supervisor candidates, since they would represent the Janesville area.
One attendee addressed the candidates asking how they saw their plans for economic development affecting District 3 and asked whether they knew about the current economic development plan already initiated by the board of supervisors.
Jesse Claypool responded he was focused on business stability, rather than bringing in new businesses without a stable economic base. He also claimed to get the economic development plans out to the public. Chuck Downs said he was part of the plan suggested, but said he was concerned with how long the process was taking to implement the plan. He suggested not waiting, but bringing in new businesses immediately and making it easier to bring in jobs. Jeff Hemphill claimed the board of supervisors needed to redirect county staff with the plan, but should bring in more businesses and change the board to a can-do attitude. He claimed anything happening in the county was good for all the residents. Max Tinnin claimed to help make the area more business-friendly and bring in more jobs that could employ a large number of people. Joseph Turner said he would implement the plan as soon as possible, but in the meantime, he said the local leaders should encourage and petition other businesses to come to the area.
Another question presented to the candidates was what they would do to make the board of supervisors more accessible, in regards to the board hiring County Counsel out of the area.
Claypool added he discovered the length of the meetings did not allow for evening meetings, but said he, as an individual, would be an accessible and responsible supervisor. Downs answered he believed the in-fighting in the office was unacceptable, but claimed he believed the board should not hide anything. Hemphill claimed he would do his best to change the attitude of the board and be easy to get in touch with on a personal basis, and said he did not agree with the hiring process, but thought the county should move forward. Tinnin responded he believed the meetings were pretty accessible despite the closed sessions. Turner believed the hiring process was not completed in good taste but claimed the meetings should be shifted to a time where the community could best attend.
Directed at the candidates running for county clerk-recorder, an audience member inquired after what Julie Bustamante and David Cole felt about county heads having term limits.
Bustamante had mixed feelings concerning the board of supervisors, but believed constant change in department heads did not allow the elected official to have the needed background to get the job done. Cole responded that public service positions should have term limits and said it was important to get fresh, new ideas.
Candidates for the county superintendent of schools Richard DuVarney and Patricia Gunderson were posed with a question regarding what they would do to help ensure having vocational programs in schools for students skilled in those areas.
DuVarney responded that school districts had to do what they needed to in order to survive during hard times, but believed times were improving and said he would advise and encourage school districts to reinstate vocational courses. Gunderson believed skilled laborers were gone and believed the educational department should work with local businesses and the college programs to encourage the high school and community to look at vocational programs.
Additionally, an audience member questioned the candidates for the county treasurer/ tax collector whether if elected they could serve 100 percent of the time.
Brian Wilson said the position would claim 100 percent of his attention and he would work full time in the office, but said he would switch his time working at his business from full time to part time, and said he would dump his other obligations. John Mallery claimed his family would come first but the he would serve the position fulltime. Nancy Cardenas said her family also comes first, but said she would not dump any other obligations she is committed to if she were elected to the position. Candidate Richard Stovall was not present at the forum.
Finally, the public had the opportunity to question the district attorney candidates David Evans and Stacy Montgomery.
An audience member posed a question on how each candidate would handle truancy in schools. Montgomery responded saying she would prosecute parents, and possibly offer the parents a diversion program to get parents to send children back to school. Evans said he already was prosecuting parents as deputy district attorney, and said it was important children stay out of trouble, but said the parents needed to be punished for not making children go to school.
Another questioned posed focused on the relationships each candidate had in place to hit the ground running in the office, and asked what kind of relationship he or she would have with county counsel Bob Burns.
Evans responded he would not allow Burns to influence the job he would do as district attorney, but after working with him for the past seven years, is prepared to work with Burns. Montgomery replied saying she has worked with Burns, but said the county counsel could not work over the district attorney. She also mentioned her ongoing dialogue with Susanville Police Chief Tom Downing and Lassen County Sheriff Dean Growdon.

I was rewatching Batman begins and watched it until the credits roll. I noticed that Liam Neeson was listed as Ducard, Ken Watanabe was listed as Ra's Al ghul. It made me ponder over the entire movie as to whether Liam Neeson's character was really Ra's Al Ghul or did he take over the league after the death of Ken Watanabe because I remember towards the end, Bruce Wayne's character complimenting on Ra's deception tricks when they meet at Wayne Manor again. Is that a minor glitch or intended to be food for thought?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Movies & TV Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for movie and tv enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I think Neeson was indeed Ra's Al Ghul, and that the credits were only that way because that was how they would be listed on IMDb - if their true roles had been listed then the big surprise would be revealed before the film opened. This is similar to Marion Cotillard's character being listed on IMDb as Talia Al Ghul a year before TDKR opened (the listing was changed recently) thus ruining that big twist.

Anybody know how we're looking?
Anybody know how we're looking?
i believe we are 21.6 mill under and 6th best in the nfl.
i do expect miami to cut HOlliday and save another 4-5 mill in cap most likely.
I think we will be around 20 million under cap. Hopefully we will go after a DB and maybe a WR. And we can also use some of our draft picks for depth and WR and DB
I got $500 on the Dolphins to win the Superbowl.
Right now IMHO it will be somewhere around 19.7 mil
According to Phinzilla we are 20 million under the cap and have 21.2 mill in dead cap that we should free up when the season is over.
That's roughly 41.2 million available for next year.
CAN THAT BE RIGHT? It seems ASTRONOMIMICAL
check this.........
Good stuff fellas, I knew we had a bunch of cap room. Should be an interesting offseason with a lot of money and an extra 2nd rounder. Of course, this season isn't over yet though.
what do you guys think about maybe trading for B. Edwards? Signing Osi (corner from Raiders) or maybe Suggs. Then build more in the draft, I think we could use another couple OL and possibly a new center. Pash rushing LB would be nice too to have opposite of Porter. Maybe also get some DE that can rush the QB or another DT cause Ferggie is getting up there in age.
We obviously have to address corner, but I don't want to give up what it will take to get Asomugha. I'd prefer a guy like Bartell or McFadden.
As far as Edwards goes, I don't know what the Browns would want for him.
The bottum line is that we are only going to get better through free agency and the draft and the dolphins are going to be a team your not gonna wanna play.

Digital Cumbia in Buenos Aires
It's unavoidable: Widespread access to the Internet means those interested can dig deeper into collective cultural history than ever before. Crate-diggers and audiophiles around the world have used this unprecedented access to learn more about the music of past and present.
In Buenos Aires, artists like Chancha via Circuito, Tremor, and Mati Zundel mine obscure folk recordings for diamond-in-the-rough rhythms and melodies, while blending those with modern day production techniques derived from dance music. This unabashed cultural mishmash has led to some truly exciting music.
At the forefront of what's known as the Digital Cumbia movement are labels like ZZK, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. ZZK founder and president, Grant C. Dull, took a few minutes to chat with us about the state of modern Cumbia, the strong links between music and community, and how being hyper-connected today creates new avenues to explore the past.
Where did Cumbia come from and how did its digital form develop?
Cumbia originally comes from Colombia, a mix of African slaves, Spanish colonialists and indigenous peoples. Traditional Cumbia became popular throughout South America in the '50's. Along with another Colombian style of music called Vallenato, Cumbia eventually spread to Argentina. Some of the first Argentine bands were copies of those styles, like the Wawancos. Then, over time and cross pollination, Cumbia grew to include various local strains [of music] and became more Argentine, Peruvian, Mexican, etc. Local influences started to mutate the genre and transform it. Every region in Argentina has it's own Cumbia now. And this 21st-century strain is what most people call "Cumbia Electronica."
What does Cumbia Electronica sound like?
It's a 21st-century interpretation of traditional Latin folk using modern technology. It's musicians who grew up listening to Aphex Twin and Modeselektor, but also went to Cumbia parties and listened to what was on the local TV and radio channels. ZZK is a mashup of all of that. It's sample based and has digital production with Cumbia rhythmic elements. It's experimentation.
Who are some of the key producers, artists, and DJs people should know?
Some of the artists we work with at the forefront are: Chancha Via Circuito, King Coya, El Remolon, Frikstailers. Outside the label, there are pioneers like Dick El Demasiado and Toy Selectah. Then you also have an international scene which we've collabed with a lot—Uproot Andy, Sonido Principe and tons more. A good snapshot of the moment is on our latest compilation ZZK Sound 3.
How did your label get started?
Cumbia was already bubbling up in the underground around the time our weekly party started. There was a festival called FestiCumex. It was a festival of experimental Cumbias, and a lot of the musicians we work with came out of that scene or were inspired by that scene. There wasn't a unified channel for these guys to put stuff out and play shows. When we had to come up with a title for the style of music these guys were making, we came up with the title "Digital Cumbia."
Cool, so it grew pretty organically.
Yeah, it was happening all Argentina and Latin America and we just kind of grouped it all together under the banner ZZK. We gave it space to develop and grow, which is what our weekly party did. Then eventually we gave a stab at it more professionally in the industry with the ZZK label.
Myself and my two partners were each doing really relevant cultural projects: I had What's Up Buenos Aires [AKA: WUBA, a local website]. Nim had had an underground electronic label called Bombaclap Records, working with artists like Princesa. He was an A&R heavyweight in the scene before I even knew what A&R meant. And Villa Diamante was already making his name for himself as the go-to DJ for eclectic underground music.
ZZK has thrown some killer parties in Buenos Aires, and now in the US and Europe too. How did these come about and how do they represent what you guys are all about?
You didn't really have all these crews coming together for one party, so we pulled together these artsy guys, the Reggaeton crews, the glitchy electro-Folklore groups, some hip-hop crews, and the Cumbia artists. We quickly learned that anything Cumbia was the crowd favorite. It was the most authentic and native representation of local culture.
It'd be like three in the morning in San Telmo on a Wednesday, and just a great mix of people—students, artists—it was a young, very cultured, very eclectic crowd. We called on a different artist to design a flyer for us every month. We wanted the coolest urban art to interpret their vision of our party, so naturally a lot of these freelance artist types were regulars at our party because it was the place to be and musically it was very inspiring to them.
Since then, we've been touring nonstop for five years, putting out a lot of albums, signing a lot of artists.
How has the music and community changed since it started?
First and foremost, the sound and artists have been put on another level. They've gained fans and press and institutional praise and newsworthiness that they didn't have before. We've had our music placed on some internationally-acclaimed stuff and that's reverberated pretty dramatically down in Argentina. And what we've been able to do internationally has had a lot of local effects. Argentina is geographically at the bottom of the world, so the notoriety just through hard work and touring has gained us a lot of respect and love that didn't exist before. And in that is what we've been able to accomplish for Cumbia—we've been able to de-ostracize it, at least a little. We've taken it and put it into cool, artsy, prestigious places.
And not just Cumbia, but there's been a return to appreciating local culture and music, even before ZZK. It's spun into this other genre called Digital Folklore, too. We've worked with these artists called Tremor who interpret traditional folklore styles like Malamba, Chacarera, and Coplas.
Though they're just labels, how do you or artists you know feel about Moombahton? What about "EDM?"
I love Moombahton. I have respect for it. It's kind of like a sped up Reggaeton. I think it's great that electronic music has had a resurgence in the US and around the world. It was just a matter of time considering these hyper-connected internet kids that grow up listening to music on YouTube and Soundcloud. I think where we fit into it—the South American experimental electronic Latin angle—we can cultivate the crowd and hopefully gain fans [from the EDM world] too. I'm not a big fan of the term "EDM," but I understand the need for people to label it easily.
There was an article earlier this year written in the LA Times where one of the music critics said ZZK was making some of the most innovate EDM music of modern times. So we fit into it, but the music we make is different enough from the mainstream that we're able to cultivate that acclaim.
What do you see as the future of ZZK and Digital Cumbia?
In the immediate future, we're already working on next ZZK compilation, we're going to focus more on compilations and singles. We're also booking two European tours for our artists, right now. Every year when somebody asks me about the future, it's impossible to answer because of the times we're living in and the state of the industry. All we do is so experimental and niche-y, it's such a labor of love. So these past five years has been very worthwhile and important in a lot of different circles. I hope ZZK continues to nurture and expose great new South American electronic music to the world.

Charles and Ray Eames were mesmerized by elephants. They created a molded plywood model of the gentle giant, but it never went into production because its fabrication methods were so complex. Vitra later produced a polypropylene version of the Eames Elephant for children—the audience it was originally intended for. With its whimsical shape and smooth skin, this friendly creature will enchant youngsters and collectors alike.
Designed 1945. Vitra makes innovative contemporary and classic furniture for the home, office, and public spaces.

As we approach the six-year anniversary of Michael Vick's arrest, we're reminded of just how much work we still have to do to stamp out dog fighting forever. For the dogs still trapped in fighting rings, our work to end blood sports has never been so urgent.
Here are just some of the realities of life as a dog-fighting victim:
• Tethered to short, heavy chains or locked away in tiny cages, the dogs often receive inadequate care and little socialization.
• They can go for days without food or clean water.
• When dog-fighting dogs are old enough to fight, many die of blood loss, shock and exhaustion.
• Losing dogs are sometimes killed right on the spot for their failure to secure a win for their owners.
• Even when they're lucky enough to be rescued, dog-fighting victims face a difficult path to physical and emotional recovery. Despite the best efforts of expert rehabilitators, not all dogs rescued from fighting will heal.
From the very beginning, these dogs are fighting for their lives, and an untold number are suffering in silence right now.
Rest assured: The entire ASPCA is deeply committed to eradicating this brutal form of animal abuse.
The Blood Sports Unit of our Field Investigations and Response Team helps carry out criminal investigations, providing expertise during large-scale rescues and raids.
Our experts provide critical training to animal control officers, police officers and veterinarians across the country to empower them to take action against dog fighters.
Behind the scenes, our Legal team works to ensure dog fighters face tough consequences, and our Government Relations staff is pushing hard for tougher anti-fighting laws.
We are committed to ending animal cruelty in all its forms, but we need your help.
If you're able, please help us stop this barbaric form of cruelty and all others. Together we can save animals from lives of abuse.
Wendy Kling shared her story of taking a chance on a special needs dog named Nemo at the ASPCA Adoption Center, just in time for Christmas.
It has been more than one year since we welcomed Nemo into our home on Christmas Eve. He had an interesting journey here, beginning with my husband spotting him one morning on Fox News wearing a little red jacket asking to be adopted. He called me in to take a look and, after realizing Nemo was missing a back leg, I thought, "Would we really be able to take care of a pet with special needs?" I said no to adopting him and went to work.
I thought about Nemo for the next few days and joked that all I wanted for Christmas was a three-legged-dog under my tree. That set the ball in motion. My husband found him at the ASPCA, and without my knowledge, set up an appointment to see him on Christmas Eve. My husband, Will; daughter Marisa; our Husky, Mishka, and I drove to the city from Quakertown, Pennsylvania. After spending several hours with the wonderful staff there, we signed the paperwork and brought our new family member home to spend Christmas morning watching us unwrap presents.
Nemo is a wonderful dog who is full of personality and a bit of a lounger. He also tends to make us forget that he is missing a leg—except when we're picking him up to carry him to bed every night and downstairs in the morning.
Just recently, I saw him featured in an ASPCA commercial. What a surprise! To us, he is a bit of a celebrity. Thank you, ASPCA, for making that night such a memorable one and for allowing us to bring Nemo home and become one of us. I tell everyone I know who is looking for a pet to adopt, adopt, adopt!
We don't know about you, but just one mention of the quickly approaching deadline to file our taxes is enough to make us groan. However, we do have some good news—you can actually help animals while filing your taxes this year!
To participate, sign up for our We-Care.com extension here. This secure browser extension for Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox makes it possible for the ASPCA to automatically receive a donation from your purchases—at no cost to you (averaging 3%)*. It takes less than a minute to set up and, once you do, this reminder will let you know when you've visited a participating merchant's website. Since H&R Block and Turbo Tax are just two of the 2,500+ merchants, tax season is just the start of many more ways that you can help animals with this download.
We appreciate all the merchants that are part of We-Care.com and make this enormous online shopping opportunity possible for the ASPCA. This partnership has made a real difference for countless animals.
This week's animal news ranged from heartwarming to downright silly, and we read all of it.
We loved learning about this 33,000-year-old skull, which belonged to one of the first dogs. (Smithsonian)
It was a real pleasure to meet Heidi, a rabbit who swims as part of her arthritis treatment plan. (Huffington Post)
We were touched to see this beautiful photo essay about a cat adopted from the ASPCA in 1995. (New York Times)
And, after the photo essay left us a little sniffly, we were thrilled to learn that these 28 cats were there to cheer us up. (BuzzFeed)
What did we miss? Tell us in the comments. See you next week!
[Right] Tinkerbell at intake, and again two months after receiving treatment.
The ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) department has made arrests in two truly shocking cases of neglect.
On February 26, HLE Agents arrested Manhattan resident Peter Morin, 60, over the neglect of his 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Tinkerbell.
Staff at a dog grooming salon knew something was wrong when they met Tinkerbell, so they did the right thing: They called the ASPCA. Our Agents located Morin, who agreed to relinquish Tinkerbell. We rushed her to get the veterinary attention she needed.
At ASPCA Animal Hospital, veterinarians found Tinkerbell to be blind and in pain due to untreated kidney disease. They also found her to have dental disease, hair matting, dried discharge, debris all over her coat and overgrown nails.
Under our care, Tinkerbell has regained some sight and is recovering from her other ailments. She'll eventually be made available for adoption.
[Below] Biggie upon intake at the ASPCA Hospital, and again on the day of his adoption with his new family.
Just a day after Morin's arrest, ASPCA Agents arrested Brooklyn resident Marvin Silver, 24. Last April, Silver surrendered his dog, a three-year-old Pit mix named Biggie, to Animal Care & Control of NYC.
At the time, Biggie was just 45.2 pounds and showed signs of neglect. Staff at the shelter alerted the ASPCA to his condition, and we responded right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Biggie to be weak, emaciated and dehydrated. They concluded he had been starved. Two months after receiving treatment, Biggie's weight increased to 71.1 pounds—a 57 percent gain. Biggie was adopted February 7 by a Staten Island family.
Both Morin and Silver have been charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If they are convicted, they face up to a year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
If you suspect you've witnessed animal abuse or neglect, please report it. You may just save a life.

|Foliage Will Be Great This Year
Most all the Vermont locals I have talked to agree that the fall leaf colors this year are much better than average. I am seeing more red than any year in recent memory. We had a very good foliage season last year and I think this will be better.
On Thursday, my wife and I drove down to Manchester VT in the southwestern part of the state. We saw a lot of good color already and those areas are just getting started. It seems like the eastern side of the state is a little ahead of the western side. We saw more color on Route 100 than we did on Route 7. Wherever you are, you will only need to drive around to find good color. Check with your innkeeper for their favorite drives and local reports on foliage color progress.
I took a picture of the hillside across the street from us because it looked so good in person but it did not show up as well in the camera. The sky is overcast today which makes the colors pop even more. However, there is a bit of moisture in the air from the rain we got yesterday and the camera picks up the mist in the air that the human eye can look through I guess.
Below is a better picture showing our parking lot just to give you a taste of what it looks like around here. I hope to get out and drive around Sunday or Monday (we're very busy this weekend) and take some photos of all this great foliage. The foliage should last several weeks but we get so busy that I have to get out whenever I can.
Speaking of which, we are full the first two weekends of October, as are most inns around here, but there are rooms available mid-week. If you are thinking of coming here to see this year's unusually good display of fall foliage, I suggest doing it mid-week if you can. We have an availability calendar on our web site and you will find the same on many other inn's websites as well.

|Here is Why I Live in Vermont
Brewster River photograph from my favorite photoblog: Megapickles . . . see the September 16, 2008 entry.
The Brewster River runs north down from Spruce Peak to the town of Jeffersonville VT where it empties into the Lamoille River.
More Brewster River photos are available here.
There is a widely photographed falls you can find in Brewster River Gorge. Locally, it is sometimes called Jefferson Falls.
If you want to fish the area, stop by an excellent little fly shop called Green Mountain Troutfitters to arrange for a guide, get the current flies, etc.
Be sure to drive Route 108 from Jeffersonville to Stowe or the opposite way from Stowe to Jeffersonville. It goes through an area called Smugglers Notch and it is one of the prettiest drives in Vermont.

|A Summary of Your Rights As An Airline Passenger . . .
That is the extent of your rights when you step onto an airplane (or "INto" an airplane as George Carlin liked to point out) according to Marc Britton. He should know - he's an attorney who was once General Counsel at Expedia and now runs his own legal advice website called Avvo.
He recently wrote a succinct article on this topic at the Journey etc. website
Airlines cannot discriminate against you by selling your seat to someone better looking or more pleasant. Nor can they punch you if you get on their nerves. But beyond that, the sky is the limit, as pilots like to say.
And who gives them the right to treat you like cattle? You do. When you buy a ticket, you agree to abide by their terms in the Carriage Agreement that they print on their tickets in microscopically small and very light type.
However, they are not heartless bastards. Bastards, yes. But not heartless. Maybe we should qualify that with the word "usually" not heartless. They are a slow, inconsistent, ungainly, and profitless bureaucracy. They are frightening to deal with but you don't have a choice if you need to get somewhere far within a reasonable period of time. And, like a strikingly similar bureaucracy, you do have a vote but the choices are not great and probably don't make a difference in the long run.
I wrote an article last Nov 24 about Rule 240 that gives you a little bit of a fighting chance sometimes. You can learn more about the Rule at the Peter Greenberg travel website..

|Bike Vermont Foliage Tours
We have had several guests over the years tell us that they have taken tours by Bike Vermont and recommend the company very highly.
Bike Vermont offers 38 foliage tours and they still have some openings this year. The tours vary in length from three days up to six days, and range in cost from the low $400's to mid $1300's including lodging at some of Vermont's best inns.
Their website has a handy map with towns highlighted to see what part of the state each tour covers.
For example, the October 3 - 5 Churchill House Inn and Shoreham Inn tours have opening, and during the week of October 5 - 10 , the Historic Windsor County and Swift House Inn tours have openings.
And there is one discounted special you should take a look at: the "greatest views imaginable" on the Moose Mountain Lodge four day tour October 10- 13. The price has been reduced from $715 to $595. I wish I weren't working then - I would love to take this tour.
Other tours have openings and they do get the occasional cancellation so it would be best to call (800-257-2226) or email them to get the latest information.
I notice that they "strongly" recommend travel insurance. In fact, Bike Vermont even sends an insurance application with each confirmation. Recommending travel insurance is something I have been thinking might be good for me to recommend to our guests.
We've been running our inn about 8 1/2 years and in that time had just a very few guests who had a problem while traveling. One case involved a woman who got pneumonia while traveling through New Jersey and had to cancel her New England trip because she was hospitalized.
A few years ago, we had a couple here for a four night stay but their daughter got sick back home and they had to leave after just one night here.
There have been a few others out of thousands of reservations we've had over the years. But it's like most insurance: the vast majority of it goes unused.
Located in Woodstock VT, Bike Vermont is in its 32nd year of offering a wide range of Vermont tours during the spring and summer too. They also have tours in Maine, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy. You are welcome to ride your own bicycle but they have them available if you do not want to bring yours.

|New Blog: Travel-Vermont.Net
I came across an exciting new Vermont blog recently and was highly impressed with its quality and scope. It is called Travel-Vermont.Net and is just a few months old but already has compiled a long list of articles about touring Vermont.
They are well written and usually have a good photograph to go along with them. The information is fresh and the author's insights are very helpful.
Christine Sawyer is the blog owner. She is prior resident of nearby Quebec and her blog is available in French as well as English. She and I have similar backgrounds in marketing communications . . . my status is former and hers is current - she owns Birchwood Ridge Group, a marketing and advertising firm here in Vermont. She has an interesting history you can read in the Our Story page of the website.
There is a useful and accurate Search function on the site but no RSS feed that I could find. Maybe that's just as well - I have a lot of feeds coming in. I try feeds for a while to see how often and how useful they are. The list can get long but it's easy enough to trim them from time to time.
This is an excellent resource for people planning to travel to Vermont. Over the last two or three years, I've seen about a half dozen Vermont blogs show up and then fade away after a few months. This one looks like it has staying power because it has a capable and motivated person behind it.
There is no doubt in my mind that Travel-Vermont.Net is a very valuable resource for Vermont and will help both tourists and the state's travel industry.

|Stowe Inside Line Newsletter
Stowe's Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont at about 4400 feet
Stowe Resort has a good email newsletter they send out weekly and the latest issue has a very nice photo I thought I would include here. The Inside Line focuses on news about Stowe Resort but there's always a lot going on year around which usually makes for interesting reading.
I cropped and reduced the photo to get it to fit in this blog but you can click on the newsletter link above to see it better. If the photo is different when you view the page, just click your browser's reload button. It may be removed in the future to make way for other photos.
The building shown on the mountain is the Cliff House restaurant which is serving lunch this time of year but not dinner (with the exception of once a month special dinners).
I assume the photo was taken from the Toll Road which runs all the way to the top of the mountain. It's a trip I recommend often to our guests. The drive takes about 20 minutes and is well worth the $23 toll per car (no bicycles or motorcycles are allowed but you can walk it if you want). You can see rates on all Stowe's summer activities here.
The view from the top of the mountain is magnificent of course. There is a ranger station at the top and I suggest asking the ranger for directions to "Frenchman's Pile" a pile of rocks where you have a 360 degree view. You can easily see Burlington and Lake Champlain below, the Adirondack mountains of New York to the west, Vermont's Worcester Mountain Range to the east, and on clear days, the White Mountains of New Hampshire farther to the East.
The toll road will probably be closed all day this Sunday for the Race to the Top of Vermont, a foot and bicycle race.

"Somewhere" is a witty, moving, and empathetic look into the orbit of actor Johnny Marco. You have probably seen him in the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo from his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau. Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where he is in life and confront the question that we all must: which path in life will you take?
