Alan Titchmarsh perhaps had it right though. "A garden without water is like a kiss without a squeeze," he said as he wandered, brolly in hand, around the world's premier gardening event.

Fantastic Five: Best Comic Book Reboots
If there's one thing we've learned from our years on the Internet, it's that there's no aspect of comics that can't be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there's no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we're taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.
With a heavily anticipated and equally hyped reboot (or de-boot? or lateral-move-boot?) debuting this week, we thought we'd take a look at comics' frequent tendency to hit the reset button, with a specific focus on times when things turned out, you know, pretty okay! Whether it was because a certain character or story was in particularly dire straits and needed a mulligan, or because time and hindsight allowed an already good idea to be refined, these five examples show that dramatically reconfiguring a comics series is not always necessarily a bad thing.

Another newbie question. I just wanted to know what exactly is the difference between html and htm extensions we see for webpages. Are they same? and if so then why two extensions for the same purpose?
They are the same, but htm is used for file systems that expect 3 character file extensions. For historical reasons htm is often used on Windows systems. This follows the conventions established by the 8.3 naming restriction in the FAT file system, but there is no technical reason for a three character limit on modern file systems.
They're exactly the same. Originally, Unix based servers used html extensions and Microsoft IIS used htm, but now they're treated exactly the same.
They are the same.
HTM was used because some systems did not support 4-character extensions.
This is no longer true, and there is no longer any reason to use HTM.
The Web was originally designed by UNIX-centric people, for whom long filenames with arbitrarily long extensions were the norm.
MS-DOS and early versions of windows were limited to 8.3 filenames, so the extension .html was not possible. Microsoft users had to use .htm instead.
Nowadays, there is no reason to use .htm. Use .html in all cases.

Edible - Medicinal Desert Plants Walking Tour 1:30 pm
February 26, March 11 , March 26
Prickly pear cactus fruits yield more than just a vivid margarita mixer -- they're nutritious and have a unique taste. Both the pads and fruit of these cacti are a Sonoran Desert staple so popular they are exported worldwide.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the place to learn about desert plants and their useful properties -- guides for the walk are local authors Kathy and Tom McDonald, co-owners of Smiling Dog Landscape company in Gold Canyon
This guided tour repeats walk March 11 Saturday with Jim Shepherd leading the tour -- and our special guest Sunday March 26 guides will be
Choctaw Nation ethno-botanist David Morris . During Winter-Spring months this popular guided walk departs the visitor center breezeway at 1:30 p.m. on the second Saturday and fourth Sunday. As with most other weekend guided tours here, the edible-medicinal plants walk is included with daily Arboretum admission -- and please note that adult admission increases to $12.50 on January 1, 2017.
Please keep in mind that information shared on this tour does not constitute medical or dietary advice; opinions and views expressed by volunteers are strictly their own and do not necessarily represent the position of the Boyce Thompson Arboretum or its management
"You'll learn about the edible and medicinal properties of many of our native plants here in the Sonoran Desert and learn how you might incorporate them into your backyard landscape," says Kathy McDonald.
Inspired by the trail and guided tours that interpret uses of edible-medicinal desert plant here at BTA, ethno-botany enthusiasts Kathy and Tom developed their own Curandero Trail around the 2.5 acre perimeter of their Gold Canyon home and business, Smiling Dog Landscapes, and guide tours of their trail during Fall and Winter months. There's no fee to attend, but spaces are limited and pre-registration required; call 480.288.8749 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
"You may already be familiar with prickly pear, roasted jojoba seeds, the refreshing tea you can brew from ocotillo blooms; perhaps you've even had a saguaro fruit smoothie. We'll talk about these and other desert edibles, and on the walk you'll also encounter the ingredients that go into my recipe for an allergy tincture using Mormon tea, creosote, brittlebush, triangle-leaf bursage and white ratany."
Visitors can explore our Curandero Trail and learn more about useful desert plants on your own, too -- signs along the trail explain many of the plants, and in both English and Spanish.
An ethno-botanist and member of the Choctaw Nation, David Morris is another featured guide for this walk, and has has done extensive research into plants that heal and nourish.
Ethno-Botanist Dave Morris is a fan of jojoba seeds, shown in the photos at left. These acorn-size seeds can take on a mild hazlenut flavor after being lightly roasted. Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is also known by the nicknames "goat nut," deer nut and coffeebush -- the latter from its reputation as an acceptable coffee substitute when mature seeds are roasted. Waxy oil pressed from the nuts is widely used in shampoos and skin lotions; tea brewed from jojoba leaves can sooth inflamed mucous membranes.
Ask Dave Morris about his favorite desert plant and he cites the agave. "Fleshy leaves of the agave were the source of fiber (sisal) for the early desert natives. The fibers would be used for cordage, rope, baskets, mats and sandals. The heart of the agave was roasted and eaten and the leaf tea is thought to relieve arthritic pain," said Morris. Learn more about this plant, about creosote and others which continue to nourish, heal and clothe people of the Sonoran desert. Here's another, too: Native Americans in the desert refer to the mesquite tree as the "tree of life". The pods can be ground up and they provided the main source of flour until the introduction of European heat, rye and barley. The barkof the esquite can be boiled to produce a germ-killing wash for minor cuts and scrapes. The Piipash (Maricopa) obtain a black paint from mesquite bark that is used to add designs to their traditional pottery."
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is affiliated with the UA's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, in addition to being an Arizona State Park. UA students, faculty and staff may bring your CatCard or University I.D. to save an addition dollar off admission!

Windows 8 Consumer Preview available nowPocket-lint
Microsoft's president of Windows Steve Sinofsky took to the stage over in Barcelona at MWC (well, a bus ride from MWC to be more accurate) to officially launch the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
Describing the forthcoming OS as "a bold re-imagining of Windows", Sinofsky said that "the goal with Windows 8 is to deliver PCs without compromise". He said he wanted "a unified operating experience".
"There's too many hard stops between phones, tablets and PCs - we want it to be much more harmonious and seamless," he explained.
The Consumer Preview is said by Microsoft to boast "significant product changes since Windows Developer Preview". It has more than 100,000 code changes from that version as well.
"It's beautiful, it's modern, it's fast, it's fluid," said the Windows boss, describing Windows 8 as a "generational change".
Microsoft's Julie Larson-Green gave the assembled tech hacks an overview of the work-in-progess OS and showed off the Xbox Live app, which offers the same sorts of features that you get with the Windows Phone 7 portal such as messages, Avatar management and game searching.
The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is available now. You can download it directly from Microsoft. You'll be able to grab it in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in five languages: English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese. Microsoft is saying that you'll need at least a 1GHz processor powering your chosen test device, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of free storage space and a DirectX 9-compatible graphics card.

Foreign Language Instructors apply the latest instructional methodologies to meet highly customized student needs and conduct language proficiency testing in reading, speaking and understanding for skills evaluation. In addition, they may be asked to provide a variety of language support services worldwide. Minimum requirements include a Bachelor's in foreign language, linguistics or a related field; native fluency in the language; 2-5 years of teaching experience; demonstrated knowledge of the respective area's history, culture, politics and economy; and the ability to use the latest technology and teaching techniques.

As part of the screening and interview process, applicants will be required to take language proficiency tests in their native language. Advanced English proficiency is also required. Salaries are based on the individual applicant's qualifications. In addition to base salary of 56,857 $97,333.

Best skincare
Im 59 yrs olds and have been using Kinerase for 9 yrs. Im consistently told I look much younger and that Im ageless. I love all the Kinerase products. They are a little pricey, but a little goes a long way. And its a lot cheaper than paying for cosmetic surgery or Botox. Love this kit, perfect size for travel. This is the best deal Ive gotten on Kinerase products. So glad to find another company that carries this kit.

You can't race a car without fuel – and the human body is no different. When it comes to ultra-long distance, on-the-trail nutrition is name of the game. While ultra-runner Dean Karnazes has legendarily ordered pizza delivery while running, Ryan and Ryno Griesel aren't going to have such luxuries available so far from civilisation on the Drakensberg Grand Traverse (DGT).
My main concern is that we're going to be out there for so long.
The main challenge for the pair is the dilemma for self-sufficient adventurers the world over — balancing the need for calories with the difficulty of carrying them.
"The team's biggest issue is what they can carry – they need dense carbohydrates from which they can get a lot of energy, but that won't weigh them down," says Sport Scientist Adrian Penzhorn.
"My main concern is that we're going to be out there for so long and my stomach is going to feel really empty," says Ryan. The nutrition strategy for the DGT is significantly different than for a 100-mile race because of the distance and lower average speed.
He will be carrying a lot of Lama Bars which have 30 grams of carbs per 45 gram serving, plus meal replacement powder servings in Ziploc bags, each fortified with an extra dose of whey protein.
"I'm also taking GU chomps and mixed sweets just to kind of mix it up a bit… And nuts with extra salt!" he says.
But more important than solid fuel is liquid fuel. Ryan and Ryno will get all their water from the pristine mountain streams, most of which are high after recent rains. However, dehydration is still a very real threat.
It's so technical you have to watch every step or else you're going to break your ankle.
Ryan is taking Rehidrat sachets as well as electrolyte tablets to make sure he keeps his electrolyte levels topped up. These are the essential salts and minerals the body loses in sweat. Failure to replace these lost salts can lead to heat exhaustion and even death.
In addition to his hydration pack, Ryan's Red Bull drinks will help increase alertness when spirits flag. Adventure racers use caffeinated drinks and gels during long races to help ward off sleep.
"Staying mentally sharp is crucial. On an open wide trail you can get into a zone, and just put one foot in front of the next but with something like this it's so technical you have to watch where you put every step else you're going to break your ankle," says Ryan.
"I'm planning to take three short naps of about 20 to 30 minutes each," says Ryan. "I'll drink the Red Bull just before my nap and then pass out for 20-minutes – I'll be so knackered that I'll just crash – and then will be good to go after that as it kicks in."
I'll be good to go after the Red Bull kicks in!
Ryan has tested this plan in his recce's so far and has worked for him well.
Do you have a question for Ryan about the Drakensberg Grand Traverse? Ask in the box below and we'll get him to respond.

Need some help for newbie.
I just start to play multiplayer for 2 week (lv 21).
Please guide me how to use spear and sword.
I almost play solo mode and my hammer it's a longest survival.
Re: Need some help for newbie.[ Edited ]
As I am no US player I can't help you directly via sparring and so forth...
I know how hard or even next to frustrating and unfair it is starting out in a field where the majority of people played for months, so I am feeling you
I would suggest to try and watch videos of experienced players, there are a lot of those on youtube.
A further tip would be: if you are comfortable with hammers ATM, stick to them until you have a grasp of most of the game mechanics and of basic combos; once you are at that point, it's MUCH easier to just switch your weapon, have a look at how different they are and kick some a$$ nonetheless
Wish you good luck my friend!
Sometimes you lose. At other times others will win, though.
Re: Need some help for newbie.
Re: Need some help for newbie.
My advice would be to find some friends to add that play the game, and make use of the tutorial for sparring and practice if you are alone, it will help you ALOT. If you don't already, I would recommend that you pick up a headset, doesn't have to be expensive, but a cheap one from Walmart or Target or something will work fine, that way you can communicate with friends while you play. I play from time to time, and I mostly play CTF, but feel free to add me, I can get some people together and we can spar for a little, then take off the training wheels and do a CTF or TFoG

Hello and welcome to the forums! There are a lot of talented people here that'll be able to help and this thread is FULL of useful links:
Re: Need some help for newbie.
Re: Need some help for newbie.
Everyone goes through this when they first start out. Pick your fights wisely, don't rush in swinging at everything you see. You will die quickly, & often if you do.
I would recommend playing Trial of the gods to start out with, & try to get The desert of lost souls. You can get some good XP from it. Try to get gold waves, & look for white treasure chest. White chest contain a possible weapon shard. If you collect 3 shards of the same weapon, you get that weapon. One of the weapons from those white chest is called The blade of Athena. It is my personal favorite weapon in the entire game. it's not real flashy like other weapons, but it's very effective, & it's the only weapon in the game that can heal both you, & your team mates. Try to get this weapon, it will be your best friend once you master it.
Remember, defense is just as important as offense. Balance your guy, learn how, & when to block / evade. Strike when you have the advantage. You can get more xp from getting objectives, than you can by getting only kills. Try to get chest, bases, etc.
I hope this helps you.
Good luck, mortal.

Dr. Amir H. Soltani | Hearing Aids Audiologist - Vancouver (Broadway)
Hearing Aids
is not a disease, but a noise that heard within the human ear in the absence of
corresponding external sound. It is the result of a wide range of different
causes which include various kinds
of ear infections, wax in the ear, or may be the result of some kinds of nose
allergies that may cause wax build-up by preventing the fluid draining. But in
common cases tinnitus is a noise-induced hearing loss and can be a cause of natural
hearing impairment as a sign of aging, side-effect of some kind of medications
and side-effect of genetic hearing losses.

"Great all-rounder shoe, will go with anything from brights to dark colours, from dresses/skirts to jeans & capris. The inside back has a 'catching' elastic which helps the shoe stay on, something I wish more strapless shoes had - Nice touch. Striped design is kinda funky but subtle enough to wear with an appropriate outfit for a more conservative look. The downside - The heel height is higher than 3 1/2 advertised (I measured it at an even 4") I'm keeping them cos I find them chic & comfy, despite them being a half inch higher than expected but be aware of that before buying."

Stephen Jay Gould Quotes About ReligionQuotes about: Religion
We are here because one odd group of fishes had a peculiar fin anatomy that could transform into legs for terrestrial creatures; because the earth never froze entirely during an ice age; because a small and tenuous species, arising in Africa a quarter of a million years ago, has managed, so far, to survive by hook and by crook. We may yearn for a 'higher answer'– but none exists
Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage-good teaching-than a bill forcing our honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?.
Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists-whether through design or stupidity, I do not know-as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups.
As in 1925, creationists are not battling for religion. They have been disowned by leading church men of all persuasions, for they debase religion even more than they misconstrue science. They are a motley collection to be sure, but their core of practical support lies with the evangelical right, and creationism is a mere stalking horse or subsidiary issue in a political program...The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. In this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the 'liberal' rhetoric of 'equal time'.

text: I am owed $42000 due to a recent Supreme Court civil action. Costs awarded to me. The person owing the money has since had Consent Orders stamped in the Family Court WA with all property of value being transferred to ex-wife after the matter was determined by Supreme Court that the costs were awarded to me. Can I take any action prior to the transfer of property to recover the debt or are the Family Court orders binding? The person did not disclose their debt to Family Court when seeking orders. What avenues can I take to recover debt?

The Rudd government will offer corporate investors a tax credit of $6,000 per dwelling to entice superannuation funds to invest in affordable housing according to a report by the Australian Financial Review.
Under the plan, the government will allocate 3,500 tax credits costing about $21 million in its budget for 2008-09 as a part of the National Rental Affordability Scheme, the report said. In addition, states will provide a $2,000 per dwelling in cash or in kind assistance to encourage developers and investors to build 50,000 new properties for rent at 20% below market rates over the next five years the newspaper said.
States are also mulling releasing land, providing cash and cutting stamp duty or infrastructure charges to further entice new developments in the housing markets it said.
"It opens up a whole new class of investment in residential real estate and I hope over time it will become an important new area for the supply of affordable rental accommodation," the report said quoting Federal Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek.
Affordability levels in Australia have deteriorated by 2.2% over the last three months to December 2007 according to REIA. Borrowers now need 37.4% of the family income to meet average mortgage repayments - the highest level reached in 22 years that REIA has tracked affordability data. Renters are not immune with 24.8% of the income going towards rent.

Comments about names of colors and how to interpret them is a serious issue.
First of all, it has been my experience that the color of a particular variety
is not a constant. Different exposures, soils, cultivation and so on produce
quite a lot of variation in how a variety looks. Visiting a number of gardens
or evaluating specimens on the show bench has left me wondering if I were even
looking at the same cv at times. Among recent irises THORNBIRD is an extreme
example. The variation in form, color, shading and size of the blossom is
extraordinary comparing specimens from different gardens.
When I type complex descriptions into my database of "On Hand" items that
include fine and complex detail about hafts, style arms, variations in shading
and so on I sometimes run out of room in the substantial field size I created
for descriptions. Especially difficult are those based on one of the more
complex standardized color references that I don't happen to have at hand.
The descriptions are far from "plain English." I admit I get a bit weary at
However, I value the detail and precision of those descriptions in the CL or
R&I reference books. They attempt to be a stable, verbal "photograph" in a
sense that clearly identifies the cv, far more accurately for color (provided
one has a good copy of the color reference book the registrant used at hand)
than a photograph or digital image. What is lacking in the verbal description
is the character, form and proportions of the flower, the character of the
bloomstalk, or number of buds, branches and spurs. Nor do the verbal
descriptions have any information about vigor, health, disease resistance or
appearance of the foliage. Even a poor photograph gives a lot of information
about those issues.
All in all, there is no substitute for simply growing the variety, observing
it over a period of a few years, living with its ideosyncracies and despairing
over its flaws. Once you get to know a variety well you will never mistake it
for another, or fail to recognize it when encountered.
The human brain records--and remembers--a myriad of details no description or
photograph, no matter how good can ever record. Our present system of
registration takes a finite slice through all that information, and a useful
slice it is, but an extremely limited one at best. Adding color photographs
would provide additional information but also would price the books high in
the sky and far out of the reach of nearly all of us.
We're not doing too badly as it is, as long as one remembers the description
in the registration is a sample from one garden under one unique set of
conditions. The variety may not look like the description in mine.

text: The Chicago Bulls beat the Houston Rockets 94-89. The Rockets are now 3-11 and falling apart fast with a 7 game losing streak. Andres Nocioni had 17 points and 8 rebounds in 38 minutes. Nocioni can play well on both ends. Chris Duhon had 11 points and 6 assists in 42 minutes. Duhon fits fine with the Bulls. Ben Gordon had 18 points and shot 4-8 or 50% from the line. Gordon had a good game but needs to make his free throws. Yao Ming exploded with 30 points and 6 rebounds in 34 minutes. 6 rebounds and your that tall come on Yao. Juwan Howard had 10 points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes. Howard knows how to grab boards. The Rockets shot about 90% from the line while the Bulls shot about 63%.

Help with creating a Training Records database to track employee training
I have not been able to find an Access training database template to build on so I have chosen "Access Hrd Employee Salary" database (from Access-Templates.Com) and "Task List" database to work with.
1st item I need help with:
Most of the Training Courses need a "Renewal" date. I am editing the "Task" database and precisely the "Priority" column for this function - which will become the renewal date (1 year, 2 years, 3 years). Is there possibly a way for the Course topic "WHMIS" to be associated with the renewal date (not everyone inputting this data will know what it is). As each person (new or employee) takes a course I was hoping to perhaps create a drop down box to select the course name and the associated renewal date would appear in the next column. The person could then enter the session information. A report could be generated based on the next renewal date to plan ahead and just about every column in the database. Sooo... I need help firstly with;
1. How do I associate the renewal duration time with the course name?
2. Do I list these in a table?
I have attached a dbase that I thought would be less painful to edit than anything else I found.
Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable assistance,
Database User

Copyright Sam Saad 2008 The World cafe is flexible process for fostering collaborative dialogue, Sharing mutual knowledge, and discovering new opportunities for action
Overview Beforehand.... 1. Should I use a World Cafe'? 2. Set the Context Purpose Participants Parameters 3. Invitations 4. Room Set Up 5. Supplies 6. Finding and Framing Questions Focusing Attention Connecting Ideas Moving Forward During the Cafe... 1. Upon Arrival 2. Cafe Etiquette Contribute Your thinking and experience Listen To understand Connect Ideas Listen Together 3. Cafe Round Process 4. Individual Table Hosts 5. Dealing with Tension and conflict 6. Harvesting 7. Making Collective Knowledge Visible Afterwards
1. Should I Use a World Café? Especially useful for Sharing knowledge, stimulating innovative thinking, building community, exploring possibilities around real-life key Issues Conducting in-depth conversation of key challenges and opportunities Engaging people meeting for the first time In authentic conversation Deepening relationships, and mutual ownership of outcomes In an existing group Creating a meaningful interaction between a speaker and an audience When a group is too large for a dialogue circle, and you want all participants to have the opportunity to contribute. When you have adequate time (at least 90 min) Not an optimal choice when You are driving towards an already determined solution You want to convey one way information You are making detailed implementation plans and assignments You have less than 9Omin You are working with a highly polarised, explosive situation You have a group smaller than twelve, where a traditional dialogue circle is more appropriate Before you begin, determine whether you should use a world cafe for your situation Copyright Sam Saad 2008
2. Set The Context Clarify the context Why? Purpose What is the purpose of bringing people together? Name it- in a way that reflects the anticipated outcome Who? Participants Identify who needs to be included Remember, diversity of thought yields richer insights and discoveries How? Parameters Time: How long Cost: How much? Venue: Where? Copyright Sam Saad 2008
3. Invitations Include an initial question or theme that you believe is important to those you have invited- arousing curiosity. Imply that participants will have fun, be engaged, and will learn new things Make it informal, creative, personal and visually interesting Guests should respond immediately knowing this is no ordinary meeting Copyright Sam Saad 2008
4. Room Set Up Remember the power of creating a welcoming environment Comfortable Safe Inviting Room large enough for people to move around without disturbing seated participants Natural light and outdoor view is desirable (if no windows try bring in pot plants) Small round or square tables that can seat 4 or 5 people. Less than 4 often leads to lack of diversity of perspective, more than 5 can limit amount of personal interaction Tables spread out in a slightly random fashion. Not in rows Snacks and beverages available on arrival Informal Table cloths. If not available try blank white paper for participants to draw on Music playing when guests arrive Copyright Sam Saad 2008
5. Optional Supplies 2 pieces of white flip chart paper on each table (or use white table paper cloth) Large Mural or Chart for harvesting and posting collective insights Large white board for the work of the graphic recorder A clear wine glass or mug filled with coloured markers on each table One small vase with sprigs of fresh flowers One small candle is appropriate Additional cafe for the Host Side table for coffee, tea water, drinks etc Name tags Chairs Copyright Sam Saad 2008
6. Finding and Framing Questions Copyright Sam Saad 2008 They need not seek immediate action steps problem solving They invite inquiry and discovery rather than advocacy and advantage You know you have a good question when new ideas and possibilities start surfacing Test questions out with trusted colleagues- try it with different people not just those who 'think' like you Careful thought and attention to Question Creation can produce profound results Single or series of related or progressive questions Characteristics of powerful questions (Remember, this skill improves with practice) Simple and clear Thought provoking Generates energy Focuses inquiry Surfaces assumptions Opens new possibility
Question Examples Copyright Sam Saad 2008 Creating Forward Movement Examples: If we were assured of success in introducing this program on health, what would it look like? When it comes to dealing with these extra demands, what would have to happen for us to move forward on this? Focusing Attention Examples: What do you think when I mention the words, "Reading Groups"? How do you feel when its time to do your assessments? What would a teacher from another school think if they walked into our assembly? What is important to you about the way we run our award nights? Connecting Ideas, and Finding Deeper Insights Examples: What have you heard or seen over the past few weeks discussions on programming options have made an impact on you, and why? What do you sense is the key insight in all of this talk about playground duty What emerging themes are asking to be articulated?
7. Upon Arrival As a host be available to welcome people as they arrive Direct them to refreshments As start time nears, invite them to their seats Explain the purpose of the cafe Go over logistics Briefly go over the process Go over your role Attend to any pre-activity apprehensions and questions Copyright Sam Saad 2008
8. Café Etiquette You may choose to draw participants attention to a Cafe Etiquette Chart, or any other chart that clarifies expectation for the group Avoid being heavy handed with 'shoulds and 'shouldn't'- just encourage! Copyright Sam Saad 2008
9. Café Round Process Typically, a World cafe consists of 3 rounds (20-30 min each). To start a round, introduce the question/so These may be displayed on a board for the whole group, or on individual tables on cards/charts. It is important that people have the opportunity to constantly refer back to the question as a visual reference. If participants want clarification of the question, respond accordingly, but avoid leading them in any particular direction towards an answer. During each round, the participants respond to the question/s presented. There is not set way to go about doing this. This usually takes form organically. Encourage participants to doodle and draw on the paper table c1oth/ flip chart provided. As time approaches the end of a round, give the participants ample warning At the end of each round, ask each table to nominate a 'table host', who remains seated at that table. The others move to another table in a random fashion. Copyright Sam Saad 2008
10. Individual Table Hosts Copyright Sam Saad 2008 Talking Objects Talking objects may be used if necessary. It may be passed around in order, or it may be picked up when people are ready to speak, returning it to the centre of the table when complete. Talking objects are most useful when there is a perceived need for slowing a conversation down and deepening it. The designated table host welcomes the new participants to the table, introduces herself and asks for introductions (if appropriate ). The host usually begins by sharing the essence of what transpired previously. The travelers then add connections and ideas from their previous tables. Remind the host to encourage everyone's contributions- even and especially if that contribution runs contrary to the emerging line of thought. to another table in a random fashion. The individual host encourages speakers to speak to the centre of the table, and not to just one other person, which can create an atmosphere of exclusion. Short but timely periods of silence may need to be encouraged to allow space for people to digest new Ideas, and for patterns to emerge and surface in 'language' form.
The Art of Table Hosting Copyright Sam Saad 2008 It is NOT your role to run or lead the conversation. All participants including you are on equal footing. Keep one foot in the conversation (as a participant) and another outside the conversation (as an observer) to encourage Café Etiquette. Why? As participants become engaged in the content of the conversation, it is often difficult to give attentive to contextual factors that often arise. As table host, you are mindful of these other factors in play, and make appropriate contributions as the need arise. Tips for Table Hosts If you find that the conversation is getting negative and bogged down, try saying… What will it take for us to move forward on this? Lets pause and reflect for a moment- perhaps theres something we are missing? How might a child, teacher, parent, or other stake holder respond to what we are saying? Lets place that in holding space for a moment, move our attention onto something else, and come back to it later with fresh pairs of eyes? If you are feeling that the conversation is getting too abstract or general, try saying… What are some examples of this? What might this look like in your school? If you feel the conversation is being dominated by individuals, try saying …. John, we havent heard your perspective yet. Lets speak to the centre of the table, rather than exclusively to another Feel free to express yourself through drawing If you sense disagreement is creating confusion, try saying…. Are you saying…? (Clarify through paraphrase) Are you saying this applies to all schools or some schools? Are you saying this is impossible, or from your experience just unlikely? (Clarify through qualification) What is it about this that is important to you? (Clarify values) If you sense the conversation is lacking direction or cohesion, What is the underlying theme thats trying to emerge here? What connections can we uncover? How can we build on that?
11. Dealing with Tension and Conflict Copyright Sam Saad 2008 What I heard you say that I appreciate is.. What I heard you say that challenges my thinking is... To better understand your perspective I'll like to ask you is.... Cafes often surface differences of opinion and understanding, which is part of the ability of the cafe to generate new insights Such differences can foster energy and excitement or... Anxiety and dissention In dealing with conversations that get really stuck, encourage participants to use the following statement stems...
12. Harvesting After the rounds are complete, all present engage in a whole group conversation to share collective discoveries. These are NOT for formal reporting or analytical summaries, but a time for mutual reflection. Before beginning the harvesting session, give participants a moment or two (quiet time is encouraged) to reflect and jot down notes, pictures etc. Ask anyone in the room to share briefly a key idea, theme or core question that has real meaning for them personally. Solicit additional ideas and insights, making sure you balance these with moments of silent reflection It is often in those moments of deep silence that flashes of insights occur These key ideas are recorded visually on a large chart/board Copyright Sam Saad 2008
13. Making Collective Knowledge Visible Here are some ideas on how make the emerging ideas more visible and more sustainable.. Graphic Recorder During the harvesting session, the Graphics Recorder graphically represents the essence of what is being said Table Cloth Gallery Tour Provide an opportunity for all participants to wander around and look at what has been recorded. Table Cloth Mural Table clothes are placed side by side to make a large mural, and 'hung' on a wall where employees can browse at their convenience during the following week back at work Post your Ideas Each participant records one key insight on a post it note and sticks it on a board. Create Idea Clusters Record ideas in related clusters to help the group build a useful framework for moving forward with the new ideas. Create a Story Create a flow map or story book which shows a progression that typifies the evolving journey for the group Copyright Sam Saad 2008
14. Afterwards Encourage participants to clear a space for themselves to reflect on what was important and meaningful to them. Key Ideas can be posted in a Holding Space in an appropriate common room. A holding space is a designated visual space for the displaying of key words/phrases/pictures/symbols that help sustain the leraning that has been germinated. The Holding Space acts as a physical metaphor to encourage people to create a mental holding space where ideas are suspended. Hanging. Incubating... In due time our unconscious mind processes these ideas in a way that emerges in a language form......subsequently leading to a string of practical ideas on how to move forward on issues.
