There's no other way I can phrase it except to call it tattletaling.
My ds ran out of his classroom today at pick-up (half-day kindergarten) to meet me and yell, "(Girl's name) pushed me and yelled at me and tried to trip me!" ... and then, when he caught sight of the girl's dad there, ran over to him to tell on her to him.
This certainly isn't the first time, but it is the first time I noticed the teacher and the other parents glancing at me to see if I fell all over him.
I gave a small smile to the girl's dad and mouthed "Sorry!" as I asked ds to come out to the car with me. The girl's dad was friendly about it: "Thanks for letting me know, (ds). I'll talk to her about it.", and he was smiling and chuckling. His daughter and my ds are a lot alike (same birth month, youngest in class, he's an oldest/she's an only) and they don't get along very well.
I don't want to react out of embarrassment, but the teacher's rules (which are similar to mine at home) basically state that if you're telling on someone because they might be hurt/bleeding/etc., and you want to keep them safe, then that's okay -- but if you're telling on someone to get them in trouble, that's not okay. I would agree, only the times I've explained it to ds, he takes the loophole of being able to tattle if "Someone is being disruptive!" -- his words, not mine, after he heard my mom (teaches 2nd grade) describe her rule of "Dangerous/destructive/disruptive".
How do you all handle this? I can use some solid wisdom here.
I honestly don't understand why "tattletaling" is a problem. Why on earth would you WANT your kids to not tell you if they're being bullied or harrassed at school? Not that it sounds like this girl is bullying him, but think about what you're teaching your kindergartener here. If he never feels safe telling you what went on at school, what kind of habits are you setting up for a few years from now, when bullying just might happen?
I would, however, talk to my child about tact and respect. Telling me that the child misbehaved during class isn't going to solve anything- talk to the teacher. And do it privately, not yelling it out in front of the whole class. Nothing good will come from embarrassing the other child.
Yes, I want to hear how your day went and if you had any problems at school- so tell me privately, in a quiet voice, about how another child bothered you. We can brainstorm together ways you can interact with that child to make things better. If things are really bad, maybe I need to talk to the teacher and/or the other child's parent about it. But all that can be accomplished without embarrassing her. If I need to talk to the teacher or other parent, I can give him/her a call or speak to him/her privately tomorrow- there's never, ever a need to yell negative things about somebody else (unless there's immediate danger.)

Ruthla, I totally agree with you -- I WANT my kids to tell me what's going on at school, and we had an incident earlier this year where a child was being inappropriate and I was glad that my son feels like he can communicate what is going on.
However, the bolded part in your reply is exactly what I want to figure out how to teach my son. He was coming out of the classroom on one mission: to get this girl in trouble and embarrass her -- and I think that's why he yelled to me as he was coming down the hall, versus telling me quietly.
This is what I'm puzzling over: we talk all the time about communicating things to keep ourselves and other people safe, but his sole purpose was getting her in trouble. In fact, when I was talking with him on the way home and we were discussing why he felt he had to do it loudly/to me, his teacher, her parent/in a mean voice, he stated "Because I think (child) deserves a consequence for being so mean!"
Your last paragraph is what I have repeatedly discussed with my son (this isn't the first time this has happened), and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong that he doesn't get it.
Is it because he's five? Or is he way too black & white about this whole "injustice was done, now justice shall be served if I tell!" or how can I best communicate this?

In addition to working on the concepts of tact and privacy, one of the concepts that I've worked with my daughter on (ds doesn't seem to have this tendency) is to ask: Why are you telling me this? What do you want me to do?
This reduces the amount of complaints that I get about random things (so and so didn't do their homework), but it keeps the flow of info coming. For older kids, I like: Am I telling mom/teacher this to get someone INTO trouble or OUT OF trouble?
As kids get older, I think this distinction becomes more important. There are a fair number of grey areas -- if someone isn't eating lunch, it's probably not my kids' business. However, if that same child is also throwing up in the bathroom at school 2-3 times a day, and talking about how they're fat when they're clearly getting thinner and thinner, the other child may need help getting out of trouble. I have more resources than my children do for figuring out what to do, and I don't want my kids dealing with it themselves.
I like that saying for certain scenarios too, but with bullying I can see how it'd be confusing for the child. They might think, "I think the student who hit me should get consequences, so maybe I'd be telling my mom about this so that the bully would get INTO trouble -- I guess I shouldn't say anything." So I think it's important to talk about that specific scenario, and make the sure the child understands that the person they're trying to get OUT OF trouble could even be themselves, and that physical violence should always be reported.
Wow, thanks! I like that approach: Why are you telling me this -- into vs. out of trouble. Thank you so much. That's a good example, too. I appreciate it!

Not *precisely* relevant to this post, but maybe handy in some situations: Sometimes there is a fine line between tattling and venting. (Tattling usually begins with a whinny, "Maaaameee!" ) If I sense that the purpose is neither to get someone into trouble nor out of it, but simply to complain about an injustice -- perceived or otherwise -- I have been known to take a sympathetic but passive stance. "That must be frustrating"; "I'm sure that must have hurt"; "How did you feel when that happened?", etc. I find that often there is no need to solve anything and once they get out their feelings, it blows over.
I know the OP situation is somewhat different, as he was publicly trying to shame/indict someone, but once you get him to be more tactful, it can be helpful to let them blow off steam without either dismissing or stoking their emotions. If the child is complaining about someone's behavior that does not affect them ("George kicked Sally and got in trouble") you can start teaching about gossip.
My 5 year old is in preschool instead of kindergarten, but it's still the same type of thing. She just wants to tell me everything. It's not to get anyone in trouble. It's just it happened so she wants to share it. If some one has been hitting her or her friends, she wants it to stop. So telling someone's parent or telling the teacher means an adult can help it stop happening. We don't do punitive consequences so she doesn't expect people to get into trouble. I really don't think kids should be discouraged from telling an adult if someone is being hurt in any way. When I think of tattling I think of someone telling an adult about small victimless offenses just to get the other person in trouble. It's not because the child needs to let people know she's been hurt, it's not out of a need for justice, it's a spiteful act to cause trouble or drama. I don't think the OP's child was really tattling. I think telling those in authority if some one's been violent toward you is a good idea.
I don't think that is tattle telling because he would have been telling to keep himself safe from a child tripping him. Are children only supposed to be safe from other kids purposely hurting them if they are lucky enough to have friends who notice and go get the teacher? That doesn't make a lot of sense as a rule and I would bring this up with the teacher.
When this has happened with my dd I have said I was sorry that the child did that and asked if she talked to the teacher about it. I also talk to her about how to word things when she talks to the teacher so her teacher knows she has tried to get the behavior to stop on her own and now needs help from her teacher finding a solution because I don't think it is wrong for a child to expect other children to not hit or verbally torment them (for a prolonged period of time) at school. I think his reaction was completely understandable. A child hurt him and he was very angry and hoped she would get in trouble. Wishing bad things on people who hurt us is very normal. I haven't said anything on the few occasions when my dd has told parents what their kid did to her. I think it is great that she knows she shouldn't be hurt and knows that the parents should be doing something about their child hitting in first grade (though I hoped they would teach rather than punish). Our situation was different because the boy was a bully and had been for over a year, but I was happy that she felt confident enough in her rights as a human being to take her complaint to someone in authority over him.
I would totally expect my child to tell me if another child pushed them, yelled at them or tripped them. I wouldn't expect my child to put up with that behavior, to just take and keep their mouth shut.
May be it's because I have girls not boys, but the whole "just take it and keep your mouth shut" attitude creeps me out. The "don't tattle" nonsense sets kids up for predators. (I know the little girl in the story is just a kid who is still learning to behave, but what you say to your child *could* have an impact on how easy it is for an adult to manipulate him).
The other child's behavior would be considered a discipline issue at my kids' school. It's just not OK to treat people like that. You don't need to apologize to another parent because their kid is still learning how to behave.
And it's really OK to be angry when someone treats you badly. It's OK to channel that anger in words to adults rather than in actions toward the other child. I think your kid did fine.
I think it's far safer to tell our kids they can always tell us everything. I listen to all the little nonsense, and just do active listening and let them process. Instead of "don't tell me that," I say things like "you sound really angry."
(You might mention talking to you quietly, and letting the teacher talk to the other child's parent)
but everything has pros and cons
Interesting discussion!
OP, I don't mean to disagree with your notion that your kiddo was telling on the perp in order to get her in trouble--you know your son, so I'll take that as a given. I'm interested, though, because sometimes my DS, also 5 and in kinder, also tells us when things like what you describe happen to him. My thought is that he feels the need to point out when someone else's behavior is a breach of the rules. I try to treat it with a "and what did you do about that?" rxn as a reminder that he _can_ handle most situations on his own--and that's been an interesting process this year after last year's pre-school environment in which every interaction was supervised and facilitated by the adults (as was appropriate for the age).
I liked the "why are you telling me this?" approach suggested here. I'll definitely ask that question next time this happens in our family!
Finally, if my kid were the one your son was "tattling" on, _I_ would have apologized--instead of your doing so! I don't think YOU have to say you're sorry to the other parent. The kids are just five and this is totally normal, IMO.
I like that saying for certain scenarios too, but with bullying I can see how it'd be confusing for the child. They might think, "I think the student who hit me should get consequences, so maybe I'd be telling my mom about this so that the bully would get INTO trouble -- I guess I shouldn't say anything." So I think it's important to talk about that specific scenario, and make the sure the child understands that the person they're trying to get OUT OF trouble could even be themselves, and that physical violence should always be reported.
I agree -- which is why I said that I'd try this with an older child. It's worked really well with a neighbor's 8 year old, who did tattle to get kids into trouble. But if it's yourself - you get to tell me any time. But since 5-6 year olds tend to be very black and white thinkers, they sometimes report every little rule violation, even when it doesn't involve them.
Your son is telling on someone who is trying to hurt him. If she had tripped him,and he gashed his head on the table corner I guess it would be OK for him to tell? I think he is being wise to tell so that teachers/parents can correct their childrens behavior BEFORE injury.
When my ds was 5 and in K kids would push,kick,pinch,,and step on his fingers among other things. It was so lame that everyday this would happen,ds would tell the teacher,and the other child was told," Don't do that again." Over and over each new day. It was a very sad experience.All he wanted was for kids to stop hurting him,so he could enjoy his time at school. Telling wasn't about *getting back* at the other kid so they would get in trouble.
Adults should correct improper behavior not just say," Stop it.".Many teachers simply do not want to deal with the physical issues that arise in kids.They find it easier to ignore and/or tell the victim," I told you not to tattle." Eventually kids that are hurt stop telling adults ANYTHING and just suffer in silence.
To me tattling would be something along the lines of: I saw so and so cheating,writing on the table,tearing up a book,or stealing John's pencil.
I was thinking about this after I went to bed last night and all the little things my kids (who are now 12 and 14) have told me over the years that could have fallen into the "just to get someone else in trouble" zone, but that I'm glad they mentioned.
- One of our neighber's has guns that are not stored properly.
- One family considered their 16 year old an adult, and would leave their kids and our (who were 6 and 8) at the time, in her care and not tell us, even though their 16 year old was irresponsible and would just sit outside and smoke.
- One time at a slumber party, after the parents went to the sleep, the kids put on R rated movies (they were all about 10).
Lots of little stuff, and most of it things I couldn't do anything about after the fact. But I'm glad that my kids mentioned these things. I'm glad that I could at least TALK to my kids about it.
I think telling kids that if another child does something wrong DON'T TELL ME is a really bad lesson. I just don't see what good can come of that.
but everything has pros and cons
Gosh, I'm not seeing a lot here about empowering the kids to work it out themselves. That's what happens in our school. It is facilitated by teachers as needed, but we need to teach the kids how to let another kid know that they don't like something. It's not all about bullying, although, of course that can be a component, but sometimes it's about games getting out of control. You might have a game of chase which was really fun for awhile, but then it got old for one child and that child needs to be able to communicate to the other child, "I'm tired. I'm done. I don't like this any more," and not have to run "tattle" on the child to the teacher or a parent.
In the OP's situation, if my child came to me and said that another child had "pushed me, yelled at me, and tried to trip me" I would ask my child first if he/she was hurt. Assuming not, I would then ask what happened when this occurred. Did the other child push and yell and try to trip because my child took her book or insulted her drawing or wouldn't let her play with the soccer ball? Then I'd ask my child what s/he said to the other child when the other child pushed and yelled and tried to trip him/her. I'd offer some suggestions, "I don't like that, please stop, what's wrong?", etc. It really sounds like in this situation the kids need some coaching on how to deal with each other when they're not happy with the other's behavior. I don't think telling the teacher or parent is wrong, but they need to talk to each other first.

OP here. There's a lot here that I'm thinking about, and I appreciate your responses.
I do need to make some things abundantly clear:
--- I do encourage my children to tell me about things that happen at school: the good, the bad, and the ugly. All of it. This is not a post about me sticking my fingers in my ears and saying LALALA and "Unless you're bleeding or dying, don't tell me!" I want my children to communicate with me.
--- I could have been more specific about this in my first post: the girl bumped into my child in line, witnessed by the teacher, and tried stepping around him. What my child stated was how he interpreted it. I do encourage my children to tell me about this kind of thing; the teacher and I had a conference earlier in the year when my son reported that another child was repeatedly pushing, etc., and the purpose of this is to make sure that the kids are learning about appropriate contact and in order to prevent any bullying situations. I was absolutely not dismissing the physical contact between my child and this girl and trying to minimize it simply telling him to stop it and suck it up.
There are nine children in ds's class, including him. The teacher is very well aware of all of the kids' interactions and actions, and she is not only a good teacher, she's a mother of four. We are on the same page as far what is appropriate and inappropriate, and my husband and I have met with her to make sure this is the case --- really, I'm not trying to encourage an environment of teaching kids to suck it up and fight it out amongst themselves at age five and don't tell me unless someone's dying.
The reason I posted is because to me, "tattletaling" is when a child is deliberately, publically, and usually fairly loudly trying to call attention and shame on another child in retaliation for a perceived offense, out of spite. I do not think it is the simple matter of "He hit me" ...because I do want to know about that.
I really am not telling my kids "Don't tell me!" --- it was simply the WAY he went about it and the manner in which he did it.
I do appreciate the constructive advice here about different ways I can talk with my child about this. Thank you.
Without having read the whole thread, i just wanted to say, that im all for keeping the lines of communication open with my kids, and i dont really understand what 'tattletaling' means, except as a way to diminish the importance of what a child has to say.
If their motive is to get someone in trouble, just for the sake of it, then address that issue separately.
Things like tone of voice can mean the difference between "I want the whole world to know" and "I'm trying to get her in trouble". Regardless of the tone though, I'd probably respond with questions "Did you ask her to stop pushing?" "Do you think she was angry or could it have been an accident?" "Did you guys work it out?" "Did you tell your teacher?" and so forth. It does sound like you have a really good teacher. I have told my DD that she should tell her teacher or teachers, we have parent volunteers each class, and not talk to another child's parent about stuff. Talking to the other child's parent is an adults job if it needs to be done. So far my DD hasn't gone to her classmates parents with any negative stuff, but she doesn't have any tack at all when it comes to just announcing to the world the details of her day bad and good. She's really just telling me, but she's loud. Most of her 4 and 5 year old preschool classmates are loud too.
I think it's really common for kids to have completely different realities about the same occurrence. It can be difficult to get them to understand the other kids point of view but when it happens understanding the other side of things can help a child be less emotional when things do happen.

Tattling is when I used to say "Mom sister is drinking pickle juice ..... out of the JAR!!!" just because I was annoyed with my younger sister. Or some third grader telling his teacher "mswhoever" thatkid is drawing instead of doing his work". The action really isn't harming anyone. It's not really the tattlers business. And it's said to cause drama or get someone in trouble. Kids seem to do it because they are bored or annoyed with the kid they are telling on or maybe just like drama. A good response is to tell the tattler to mind their own business or ignore it. Tattling seems to reach a peak during preteen years and then as the importance of peer relations rises it mostly goes away.

I do encourage my children to tell me about this kind of thing; the teacher and I had a conference earlier in the year when my son reported that another child was repeatedly pushing, etc.,.
it sounds more like the problem is that he blows things out of proportion, and sees himself as a victim. I don't think labeling this behavior as tattling is helpful for him. I don't think it helps him learn to process any better. Instead, it shuts down the conversation.
Have you tried just practicing active listening and seeing where the conversation goes?
but everything has pros and cons
So I haven't read the whole thread. But anyway, my approach has been to try to distinguish between "tattling" and "telling". You tell someone when you are afraid or really hurt, or when someone else is hurt, or when you're afraid someone will be hurt. If it's just because you want someone to get in trouble, then it's tattling. And it's ok to tell me in private about anything at all, but the dragging over to the dad part would be the tattling issue. Telling me when we get in the car would not be tattling. Telling me alone is to tell me about her day, telling me in front of the dad is to tattle to get her in trouble.
It sounds like the problem is more that he has a problem seeing a situation as an accident, many kids have the same problem. I don't know that anti-tattling techniques will really be that helpful because he probably doesn't realize what he is doing. At that age my dd truly wasn't able to distinguish between accident or on purpose so telling her that sometimes it was okay to tell me what happened and sometimes it wasn't didn't seem like a good solution because she wasn't able to distinguish. I asked her questions about the whole situation: what happened, how it happened, what the child said about what happened, what she did to stand up for herself, how it went, whether she got help for a teacher or not, and how she felt now. It was usually really obvious when it was an accident that she was blowing out of proportion because she would say the child said it was an accident. She was also able to work a lot of things out for herself without intervention because she knew the sequence her school teaches and was very vocal about standing up for herself in any case. I also would ask her how she would feel if she did something on accident and someone got mad at her because they thought it was on purpose and I helped her work through deciding if something was really a big issue or could be let go of. It takes a long time for kids to learn to see another person's point of view and for them to accept that when people accidently bump them it isn't a malicious act.
At five kids are still very focused on their emotions even if they seem to be doing wonderfully with group skills in all other ways. You might find the book Raising A Thinking Child helpful. I read the second book in the series, Raising a Thinking Pre-Teen and really loved how the author writes and sets the book up so it is easy to follow. She walks families through exercises they can do together to help kids see things from other people's points of view and take other people's emotions, as well as the possibility that two people feel very different feelings even in the same situation, into consideration.
As a kindy teacher, I deal with "tattletelling" ALL THE TIME. I don't have a problem with kids asking for help with solving problems with their peers, but I don't think that's the same thing as "tattletelling." To me, the purpose of tattletelling is to get an adult to go over and yell at the other kid and get them in trouble. I.E. "TEACHER! HE THREW HIS BREAKFAST IN THE GREY TRASH CAN" (it's supposed to go in the red one). That is tattling. "Teacher, so and so is hitting me." That is asking for help. So first, you have to draw a distinction between tattling and asking an adult for help.
I do several things with my kiddos. Not necessarily in this order. These are just a few tricks that I have found to be helpful.
1. I will ask them if they are telling me to be helpful or hurtful. I ask them if they are telling me because they need help or because they want to get the other child in trouble. They usually tell me they are trying to be helpful. So then I help them brainstorm ways to help their friend do the right thing. As in the first example, I might ask if the child tried nicely reminding them that they are supposed to throw their food mess in the red trash can. I have them practice doing it in a nice tone. Then I send them to practice it with the "offending" child.
2. If they are telling me that a friend hit/kicked/hurt them or said something mean (and the child is no longer actively doing so). I will ask the child if they told the friend to stop. If they say they asked the child to stop, then I asked if the child stopped. If they say, "yes." Then I say, "AWESOME! You solved your own problem! All by yourself! You didn't even need to ask for my help! Give me five!" And I don't go say anything to the other child, mostly because I figure the other child wasn't really trying to be hurtful if they were respectful enough to stop when asked. And that asking was all they needed to correct the behavior. If they say that the friend didn't stop hitting them when they said stop, then I will go over and intervene.
3. I do a lot of role playing to help the children learn how to solve those kinds of problems with their peers (i.e. using assertive tone of voice, saying stop, walking away, etc.). And what to do if they are having difficulty solving a problem (ask an adult for help), and what to do if they successfully solve a problem (basically that they don't need to tell on the other child if the other child stopped when asked)
Now, if there is an ongoing problem... or if a child is in the middle of a situation that they need help with, I step in immediately. But I don't see these situations as the same as "tattling."
ETA: When I do the whole "You solved your own problem!" thing, it's amazing how quickly it turns the whole situation around. Offending child has already stopped offending. And telling child is all of a sudden excited and empowered because s/he is a great problem solver... in the blink of an eye, the problem has completely dissolved.
ETA part 2: I did want to add that if the problem seems to be happening over and over again... i.e. one child is always picking on another child, then that is a different situation and these "tricks" don't really apply
This is a good book that puts it in words kids can relate to:
I didn't read all the replies, but this came up in my dissertation research on social groups of preschoolers, so I'll condense what I found there:
1.) Tattling is NORMAL. It happens all over the world (I've read Russian articles on it, etc.) and is is believed to be developmentally linked, so try to put it in the mental category of "it's there" vs "I need to stop this behavior".
2.) Tattling is largely about children learning social rules, testing them against your oppinions, seeing your response, etc. So "Joey is spilling water in the bathroom!" could very well mean "Joey is doing something I know is not supposed to happen, but I'm not sure how important it is or how to deal with it!"
3.) Tattling, in the preschool realm, is less about power and control and more about learning communication and social norms. In elementary school, the power part may become a more significant issue. That doesn't mean it is LESS about social learning, but it may be a different social learning.
As for a response, the best I've seen is when adults use the tattling as a way to understand the situation and what options they have to influence it. Often the strategy is to either a.) Encourage the tattler to talk directly with the tattlee about the offense ("You hurt my feelings." "I was sitting in that chair." and mentor them through the process if they need it) b.) If it is an issue that is best handled by adults, include BOTH children in your explination of why the situation is unsafe, etc.
I'd like to add that this won't *stop* tattling in preschool, since it is largely developmental. But it helps to serve the underlying issues vs. punishment or expecting a young child to understand the difference between a "tattle" and something important they need to tell you. In blunt terms, young children are not able to do that. In their minds, the tattle IS important. And if you look at the issues that bring to you, I would largely agree with them. Often the underlying issues are equity, fairness, justice, etc. And those DO deserrve to be addressed. So while to us "Suzy took the doll I was playing with!" seems like an insignificant tattle, to THEM it is a very real issue of justice. Ignoring it or telling them not to come to you when they can't solve their problems by themselves is ultimately counter productive to learning.
So the frame of mind really has to be to work with it and use it for learning vs. trying to stop it :-)
I like this point. With such a young child, they are still figuring why they should do the right thing when other people don't always. (It's a moral question many adults still ponder!)
I also think that the line between on purpose behavior and accidental behavior is very fuzzy to young children. It's quite common for young children to get into trouble for things they did accidental or without thinking, so when we expect them to cut others slack for accidents, it doesn't make sense to them.
It's all chances for growth, opportunities to help them become bigger people.
but everything has pros and cons
Wow, thank you.
I appreciate being able to look at this in a developmental context. Really - thank you.
I have a lot to think about here - and without going through and naming names, I do appreciate your help, everyone.
In terms of the sibling relationship - we would stop and ask our kids, "Is this a tattle, or a report?" A tattle was to get someone in trouble. A report was to keep yourself, or someone else, or someTHING safe.
Most of the time, the kids would stop and think about it, say, "Oops, this is a tattle, we need to try to work it out first." They knew/know that we are available to help if they are unable to work it out as siblings. As they are older now, the approach doesn't seem to have cramped them talking to us about problems they can't solve - but they do try to solve things on their own first.
More than anything, I wanted the kids to think about what they were trying to communicate. With three girls in a row, you can bet that we got a lot of "Maaaaaaaawwwwwwwmmmmmmmmyyyyyyy!!!" shrieks at the top of their lungs. I really wanted to curb that in terms of tattling, and help them to a) think about what they were communicating and b) foster a more cooperative spirit with problem solving and their siblings. They haven't killed each other yet at 16, 13, 11 and 9 - the baby just gets doted on :)
There really isn't one right or wrong way to handle this type of situation. It's yet one more parenting "seat of the pants" situations, IMO. I think it makes sense to find out, first, if anyone was physically hurt. After that, it's a matter of finding out what the child's motivation for telling you is, and why he feels the need to tell you the way he did. And then talking through that with him, however many times it takes.
However, running over to tell her Dad? Deciding that she needed a consequence for her behavior? My response to him would have been "Sweetheart? NOT your job." That is up to you and the teacher to handle, if it is necessary.
When mine were younger, I pretty much held the line of "unless one of you is bleeding or badly hurt - you need to try and sort out your differences yourselves." If it wasn't working, then they could come to me - but not in a "tattling" sort of way. Tattling got them both in trouble - one for doing, the other for telling. I should likely state, although it seems obvious, that this is for breaking of house rules - not for truly dangerous things. And ya know - kids usually can tell the difference. If one felt they could impose a consequence (or even suggest one for their sibling/friend/whoever? "NOT your job."

This is a very easy dish to make. However, not to my taste at all! When I mixed the chutney and creme fraiche together it tasted like peach frommage frais. When I mixed it in with the chicken it tasted like, well, chicken cooked in frommage frais - gross! If you like really sweet savoury dishes you'll probably enjoy this

Fabulously easy, and delicious too. I sprinkled chopped coriander over it before serving. We licked our plates.

A fire department receives an average of 24 requests for fire engines each hour. Each request causes a fire engine to be unavailable for an average of 20 minutes. To have at most chance of being unable to respond to a request, the number of fire engines that a fire department should have is to be determined.
This is a BCC or blocked customers cleared problem. Assuming that the inter arrival times are exponential, such a system is modeled as a queuing system with arrival rate and mean service time. Here the fraction of arrivals that are turned away are of primary interest. Since the arrivals are turned away only when s customers are present, a fraction of all arrivals will be turned away.
It is given that the arrival rate is
The mean service time is
Thus for, the smallest value of s for which or smaller is to be determined. From the graph of Loss Probabilities for queuing system, for, the smallest value of servers s for which is. Thus to have at most 0.01 chance of turning away or being unable to respond to a request, the fire department should have at least 15 fire engines.

This soup has a complex flavor despite the simple ingredients. I was very impressed.flag if inappropriate
This soup is rich in flavor, low in calories,and fat. It's very satisfying and has a great texture and color! It's a real keeper.I will definitely make it again and again.flag if inappropriate
No thank you, and I love beets. There must be a better recipe for beet soup. Keep looking.flag if inappropriate
I've made this twice now - it is low-cal and delicious. Doesn't taste so beet-y, even though color is bright red. I froze some and defrosted - the texture wasn't as smooth, but it still tasted delicious when warmed up. I've been raving about this to family and friends.flag if inappropriate

PITTSBURGH — The gold medal, the one that electrified a country and cemented Sidney Crosby as part of Canadian hockey royalty forever, is "tucked away" somewhere out of sight and — Crosby insists — out of mind.
No need to have it displayed on the mantle or a coffee table. No wearing it around the house on a rainy day.
While he's brought it out once or twice upon request, Crosby doesn't sit around holding it in his hand.
Sure, it was a "nice moment" — Crosby's go-to phrase when asked to describe his golden goal 7:40 into overtime in the final against the United States — but it was just that, a moment.
"I've kind of moved on," Crosby said.
Fate didn't give him much of a choice.
Crosby's glove-flinging celebration in the corner of Rogers Arena as Maple Leaf flags draped the stands in a sea of red and white capped his ascendant rise from Sid the Kid to Sid the Savior. His wrist shot by Ryan Miller provided a fitting bookend to Crosby's triumphant hoisting of the Stanley Cup eight months earlier, when the youngest captain in NHL history led the formerly moribund Penguins to their first title in 17 years.
Four years later, on the surface not much has changed.
On the ice the 26-year-old remains one of the top players in the world. He's the NHL's leading scorer for one of the league's premier franchises and is the unquestioned face of the Canadian team as it looks to defend its gold medal in Sochi next month.
Off it he remains the ever-polite, ever-humble son of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, the one who refuses to get caught up in his own hype.
It all looks so normal these days, it's easy to forget just how close Crosby came to nearly losing it all. The launching pad Vancouver was supposed to provide for Crosby's evolution from superstar to icon instead turned into a cautionary tale.
Less than a year removed from his golden goal, Crosby's career was at a crossroads.
Concussion-like symptoms sustained in a loss to Washington in the NHL's Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2011, turned him into a reluctant touchstone for head injuries. As weeks turned into months and 2011 turned into 2012 and the symptoms persisted, the world's best player was forced to watch the game go on without him.
He missed two years in his prime, playing just 28 games during a 744-day span between Jan. 5, 2011-Jan. 19 2013, a bystander of sorts as teammate Evgeni Malkin, Chicago's Patrick Kane and Washington's Alex Ovechkin tried to wrest away Crosby's unofficial title of the game's best player.
It seems like a long time ago now. The questions that lingered when Crosby declared himself symptom free at the end of the NHL lockout last January have vanished. Ironically, he's now one of the few players on the Penguins who have remained healthy this season as injuries have cost nearly a dozen regulars — including Malkin and defenseman Kris Letang — significant playing time.

" Manufacturer: Scotch / Type: Stationery "
* Prices may differ from that shown
When some close friends and I exchange birthday presents, we treat each other to small, inexpensive, but useful gifts or novelty items that we wouldn't perhaps buy for ourselves, but would like to own; like fridge magnets with a funny jokes, and pictures or perhaps a Picasso nose to hang your specs on - you know the sort of thing.
Having just recently celebrated and lamented, in almost equal measure, the official addition of another whole number to my age, I found my cheap and cheerful gift this year, to be very handy indeed.
On opening the little parcel, my first thoughts were that my friends had sadly lost the plot, for staring out at me was what appeared to be a child's tooth brush - a blue one at that!
Nano-seconds later, and very much to my relief at discovering my pals were still sane, I saw emblazoned on the card to which it was attached, the words 'Scotch Gift Wrap Cutter.'
Even then, it never looked capable of slicing neatly through the softest of butters, let alone paper. Being tightly sealed in its clear plastic wrapping which took took and age to open, gave me plenty of time to speculate how such an instrument, resembling a toothbrush could ever be used to cut paper.
When I finally released the cutter from its plastic prison, I could see on the underside, where the bristles of a toothbrush would normally be situated, what could almost be described as a lower jaw, or tongue.
Looking at it from the front, it put me in mind of the gaping mouth of a fish.
Inside this 'mouth,' safely tucked away from all but a tiny toddler's fingers, is a very sharp blade, reminiscent of a scalpel blade, embedded in the jaw, with the cutting edge pointing upwards.
The handle, made of a strong plastic material, was curved to fit snugly into the palm of the hand - left or right.
On the underside of the handle, close to the lower jaw, is a V-shaped groove, described as the curling edge, which is designed to be used to curl gift-wrap ribbons. On the upper side of the handle and on the tip of its leading edge, is an embossed guide-line, which makes it easier to cut in a straight line, when lined up with the intended cut-line of the paper.
Why, I hear you ask, is this any more useful than a pair of scissors or paper-knife?
I wouldn't say that it is more useful, but is just as useful when it comes to cutting paper and it does give a much cleaner cut.
I have never been any good at cutting wrapping paper neatly without a tearing it or crinkling the edge, especially the thinner stuff. So for me, if this cutter could help me make a better job of the task, I would be well pleased.
Although it is a long way from Christmas yet, a few birthdays are looming, when I shall be able to put this cutter to good use, but for the purpose of this review I had a few practice runs, on large sheets of paper and found that it cuts far more swiftly, cleanly and accurately than my scissors.
~~~~How to use the cutter~~~~
Fold the paper to make a crease along the intended line of cut. Open out the paper and insert the edge into the mouth of the cutter, with the crease lined up with the line embossed on the tip of the handle, hold the paper down and just push the cutter forward, keeping the crease and embossed pointer in line. Curves are also easily cut by first drawing the curve onto the paper and following the line using the same method as for a straight line.
To make those curly decorative ribbons, place the strip of ribbon in the groove on the underside of the handle, hold the ribbon firmly with the thumb and pull the ribbon through and across the curling edge - simple.
I found, so far, that this cutter cuts beautifully straight lines; the edges are as if guillotined rather than torn by a paper-knife, the action is swift and accurate - well - as accurate as the handler.
I really have found it so much quicker and easier to use than scissors or a paper-knife. The real test will come at Christmas time, when I am more hurried and perhaps a little less patient. I think though, this cutter will cut through the time I spend on wrapping parcels as neatly and swiftly as it cuts through the paper.
Although this instrument is perfectly safe for adults and older children, I think it is highly likely that a small child could easily insert their tiny little fingers into the mouth of the cutter, the results of which do not bear thinking about; so I would recommend it be kept well out of their reach.
For any dog or puppy owners, whose darling pets are still tempted to chew on any available object within their reach, this caution must also be heeded.
They can be purchased from Tesco and some garden centers, on Amazon and 3MSelect.co.uk. I have seen them for as little as 99p and as much as £6.00, so shop around.

Sorry you think it's a silly question. The point is that exploding stars are neither quantum nor classical; they are simply physical. Quantum paradoxes are real but they arise from the physical and temporal limitations of human perception. They arise when the brain is called upon to process and interpret data obtained from beyond its conceptual design limits.

In this edition of Ask Maggie, CNET's Marguerite Reardon explains why the Supreme Court's Aereo decision was bad for those who've ditched traditional TV service.
The biggest US cable company is offering an "Internet Plus" bundle with HBO combined for the first time with limited TV channels and broadband. But that doesn't mean you're any closer to getting HBO Go directly.

WALLA WALLA -- A sexually violent predator who was civilly committed after a series of local sex crimes in the 1990s has been ordered conditionally released to a less-restrictive alternative, but still will be closely monitored.
John W.J. Keeney, 36, has been detained for sex-offender treatment at the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island since 2004. But he reportedly has made enough advances that the state Attorney General's Office has agreed to allow him to live at the Secure Community Transition Facility in King County.
Walla Walla County Superior Court Judge John Lohrmann signed the order Tuesday releasing Keeney to the residential facility.
The SCTF is continually supervised by employees of the state Department of Social and Health Services and equipped with security cameras.
Keeney will be allowed to leave only for approved activities, including work if he gets a job, and always will be accompanied by an SCTF staff member or approved monitoring adult. He also will be subject to electronic monitoring and must comply with dozens of other strict conditions.
In addition, he must continue sex-offender treatment and participate in behavioral management and life-skills training.
The order signed by Lohrmann says the conditional release is in Keeney's best interest and "includes conditions that will adequately protect the community."
In September 2004, as Keeney was to be released from prison for the latest of his sex crimes, the AG's office filed a civil-court petition claiming he met the definition of a sex predator. He was transferred to McNeil Island and at the end of a trial in Walla Walla in May 2006, a jury agreed he should continue to be detained until his condition improved.
The jury decided Keeney suffered from a mental abnormality or personality disorder making him likely to reoffend. He was diagnosed as being attracted sexually to adolescent girls and to be suffering from antisocial personality disorder.
Based on his progress in treatment, Keeney petitioned a year ago to be released unconditionally. A trial to determine whether his condition has changed enough that he no longer meets the criteria of a sex predator had been scheduled to start next week in Walla Walla County Superior Court.
But the proceedings have been canceled because of the agreement by both sides to release him to the SCTF. A trial could be reset at a later date.
Keeney's last criminal conviction was second-degree child molestation for groping a 12-year-old girl in a Walla Walla eating establishment in 1996. He served eight years at various prisons for that crime.
He also was convicted in 1991 of second-degree rape by forcible compulsion for raping a 12-year-old Walla Walla girl at knifepoint.
His criminal history also includes other sex crimes in the 1990s.

Canadian, French and British researchers have identified a DNA sequence that controls the variability of blood glucose levels in people. This is a potentially significant discovery because high blood glucose levels in otherwise healthy people often are indications of heart disease and higher mortality rates. The results will be published May 1 in the online version of the journal Science.
The research was conducted by Dr. Phillippe Froguel and colleagues at Imperial College London and le Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in Lille, France, in collaboration with Dr. Robert Sladek, Dr. Constantin Polychronakos and their teams at McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in Montreal. Dr. Ghislain Rocheleau, a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. Sladeks lab, is the studys co-first author. The scientists worked with data collected from a large genome study originally conducted for diabetes research that looked at over 390,000 different locations or loci on the human genome. The studys first important diabetes results were published in 2007 and received worldwide media attention.
In this study, researchers looked at the genetic code of healthy, non-diabetic individuals whose blood glucose levels were in the normal range. They discovered that a single DNA mutation within three different genes explained, in part, why some individuals have high or low blood glucose levels. The researchers believe that these genes actually affect the threshold level of glucose in the bloodstream, which triggers the secretion of insulin. The higher the threshold, the higher the blood glucose level will rise before insulin starts to regulate it.
These sequences explain about 5 per cent of the normal variation in blood glucose levels between otherwise healthy people, explained Dr. Sladek, o

Paul Arcand
Paul Arcand (born May 12, 1960, in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada) is a radio host,[1] journalist and film producer. He was a popular francophone radio host for many years. His latest film is "Québec sur ordonnance" a documentary filmed with a point of view, on the subject of Quebecers taking ever more prescribed medication. Quebec has public health care, financed by government.
He began his career with CKBS in St. Hyacinthe in 1978 as a journalist. He was hired by Montreal station CKVL in 1980, and moved to the old CJMS the following year. He would become news director of CJMS and the Radiomutuel network in 1985, and in addition became the PM drive show host in 1988.
He made his debut as morning man in 1990. When CJMS was closed as part of the Télémédia/Radiomutuel merger in 1994, he moved to CKAC.
In 2000, he was hired by the TVA television network for a weekly show consisting of a half-an-hour interview. The program, simply titled "Arcand", achieved great popularity and lasted until April 2005.
Arcand announced his departure from CKAC in October 2003, and announced he was joining CKOO-FM (now CHMP-FM) a few weeks later as part of that station's new news/talk format, but due to legal requirements he was forced to remain on CKAC until the end of the Spring 2004 BBM ratings period.
While Arcand is promoted, and largely viewed, as one who "asks real questions" ("celui qui pose les vraies questions"), he is not particularly controversial, and his politics are generally close to the centre of the political spectrum.
He produced in 2005 a documentary called Les voleurs d'enfance (Thieves of Innocence in English, although the literal translation would actually be Thieves of Childhood), which dealt with child abuse in Quebec, and did well at the box office.

This series is an exploration of the modern gaze; of ambiguous figurative paintings that are revealed and transformed within the act of the individuals' views. These portraits are not an attempt to render physical characteristics but rather create a language of underlying sexual subtexts. Using ambiguity as a tool demands the viewer's exploration of their psyches and provokes self awareness...

LAWRENCEVILLE - Berkmar High School was recognized in 2008 by the College Board as one of the three best schools in the nation.For the past two years, the Lilburn school has made Newsweek's list of America's top public high schools. So why, some have asked, has Berkmar received such accolades when it hasn't made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under federal guidelines since 2005? First of all, Newsweek's formula has nothing to do with AYP, a cornerstone of the federal No Child Left Behind Act that measures year-to-year student achievement on state assessments. Secondly, a school isn't "bad" if it misses the mark on AYP, Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said. "AYP is one of many ways for measuring the effectiveness of schools," Berkmar High School principal Ken Johnson said. "It's the one that receives the most scrutiny and attention because it's federally mandated." But AYP is not a complete picture of how a school is performing, Johnson said. Its focus - at least at the high school level - is on the Georgia High School Graduation Test, which is taken by 11th-graders. "Just like we determine how well a student is doing based on many, many measures ... schools should be evaluated in a similar measure," Johnson said. Looking at several measures - AYP results, Gateway scores, Newsweek rankings - will give a more complete picture of a school's effectiveness, Johnson said. Johnson said it's noteworthy that Berkmar has wiped out the deficiencies in the areas that caused the school to miss making AYP last year - math for economically disadvantaged and Hispanic students and English/language arts for Hispanic students. This year, all Gwinnett County schools achieved the academic performance goals used to determine AYP, according to the state's initial report released last week. The three high schools that did not make AYP - Berkmar, Central Gwinnett and Phoenix - fell short because of the second indicator: the graduation rate. Berkmar and Central were so close to hitting the required 75 percent graduation rate that district officials said they are hopeful the schools will make AYP in the state's final report, which will include summer school graduates and scores from students who retook state exams. Berkmar's graduation rate was 74.5 percent - three graduates shy of making AYP in the initial report. Central's rate was 72.7 percent, about 13 graduates short. Students are considered graduates if they finish high school in four years and a summer, GCPS Chief Academic Officer Steve Flynt said. If a student leaves school and the district doesn't know where he or she went, that student is counted as a dropout - even if he or she gets a GED and enrolls in college, Flynt said. Furthermore, Flynt said, students who do not graduate within four years and a summer are coded as dropouts - a measurement that does not bode well for Phoenix High, a nontraditional high school that exists to help students who weren't successful in a traditional setting. The initial AYP report shows Phoenix had a graduation rate 42.6 percent, an increase over last year's 41.2 percent. "Because of their circumstances, we have so many different children who come and go from Phoenix," Flynt said. "It's a great opportunity for our system. But because they have a full-time job or a number of other issues, they may leave school for a semester. We don't want that to be the end of their opportunity to finish high school." The graduation rate as it is currently defined "may not be one of the best indicators when looking at an educational opportunity such as Phoenix," Flynt said. "It's important to look at all the indicators that come up," Flynt said. "There are so many ways that a school can achieve."

AKRON, Ohio, and NETANYA, Israel, May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Targetech Innovation Center, supported by a strategic partnership with the City of Akron, Ohio, has a developing pipeline of biomedical device opportunities poised to begin commercialization partnerships in the United States.
"This is an exciting development in the strategic partnership that we initially formed with Targetech. From this effort, we will see more companies locating to Akron. This will provide more jobs for our residents. I am extremely pleased that this creative step I took several years ago has worked so well," said Mayor Donald L. Plusquellic.
To assist developing companies in the Targetech pipeline, the incubator has broadened its strategic relationships in the Akron and Cleveland regions through a new relationship with BioEnterprise, the region's biomedical business development initiative. BioEnterprise will assist select Targetech portfolio firms in developing their U.S. strategies and supporting the establishment of their U.S. operations in Ohio.
