"Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented" - Elie Weisel
"And there came from the barnyard a great uproar, a mighty racket~ indignant cackling and mindless squawks of protest~ as the eagle rose up and left the chickens behind" - Sister Renee Pitelli
The Silent Partner is any relative who stands by silently while you are victimized, or who takes the abuser's side against the victim. She, or he, is usually the other parent, who abdicates her parental responsibility to protect her children, or, worse yet, sacrifices her children to the abuser in order to make her own life easier.
In most cases of birth-family abuse, there is usually not just one single Silent Partner. Several, if not many, family members collude with, protect, and cooperate with the abuser, and participate in scape-goating, pressuring, ostracizing, or trying to silence the victim. I will refer to these evil participants in our abuse as the Silent Majority, although that term requires a bit of clarification. In many instances they are far from silent. Although they might be silent about the actual abuse inflicted upon us, they can be quite vehement in insisting that the victim is wrong for not continuing to accept it.
While encouraging an abuser to operate freely in their midst, they will not be silent when it comes to criticizing the victim. They will look the other way when the victim is being mistreated, never validating her or defending her, and then attack her when she defends herself. The one that they gossip about, smear to others, judge, and condemn will invariably be the victim rather than the abuser. In their sick, evil, twisted minds, it is the long-suffering victim who is the family "trouble-maker", never the abuser himself. They don't ever believe there's anything wrong with him. They don't see a problem with his behavior. Why? It's simple. Because birds of a feather stick together.
In our Lord-Of-The-Flies birth-families, the Silent Partner and The Silent Majority don't bat an eye at betraying an innocent family member who loves them, and serving her up on a silver platter to be sacrificed to vicious, lifelong abuse. They specialize in re-victimizing the victim. Although not as open and obvious about it as the "Alpha Dog" abuser, they are every bit as guilty as he is. By either their silence, or their speaking up against the wrong person, they allow and encourage the abuse to continue. They are PARTNERS with the abuser. They are abusers, too, and it's time we give them the credit for it.
[The following excerpts are taken from this post]:
For many of us, there will come a time when we end the relationship with our abuser, or when he ends it because we have finally begun to set limits on his behavior. However, abusers are not known for going off quietly into the night. Having us grow strong enough to challenge them, or even to walk away from them, is an affront most abusers simply refuse to accept. It may be over for us, but it's never over for them. They always have one more thing to say.
When we limit our contact with them, they will feel deprived of the opportunity to vent, to unburden themselves all over us, and to tell us a thing or two. But, not to worry. As the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. If we are no longer speaking to them, rest assured that our abusers will still find a way to harass us by proxy. They will simply be forced to become creative in order to get their message through to us.
Many abusers either can't handle a direct confrontation with you, or realize that you will probably refuse to speak to them if they contact you directly. So they will enlist someone else to do their dirty work for them. I like to call this friend or relative the "Devil's Advocate", since, despite any claims of neutrality, what she is truly doing is advocating for an evil, demonic abuser.
Your abuser may point-blank ask another relative to contact you on his behalf. Or, he might go on and on, crying a river to anyone who will listen, pretending that he loves and misses you so much and has no idea why you won't have anything to do with him, and in general acting as pathetic as possible. He will keep this performance up until some meddling busybody takes pity on him and decides to "intervene" (translate: butt in) by calling you and either volunteering to "help" you patch things up, or criticizing YOU for hurting your abuser.
When this happens, the family budinski may pretend that she just can't stand to see the family having problems, and took it upon herself to call you without your abuser's knowledge. This is a LIE, told to make you think the "well-intentioned" budinski really is neutral and is not taking sides, and that you can trust her not to repeat whatever you might say. But you can be sure that she will report every detail back to your abuser, who knows perfectly well that she is calling you because he either put her up to it, or indirectly manipulated her into doing it.
Almost every abusive family has at least one attention-grabbing narcissist who will be more than happy to exploit your heartache, suffering, and distress so that she can take the credit for trying to "make peace" between you and your estranged relative. She will just soak it up as others praise her for having the courage to get involved and trying to "help."
It makes her feel important to have everyone know about the noble and selfless thing she did. She will pry and ask you all kinds of nosy questions that are none of her business in a sham attempt at "finding a compromise". She wants to be the big-shot with the inside information that everyone else wants to hear. So she will be sure to announce whatever you confide in her at every family gathering, discussing your conversation, in appropriately hushed tones and with a phony look of somber concern, with anyone who seems interested.
She will repeat everything you said, whether in confidence or not, and then some, embellishing as necessary to keep her audience enraptured. She will use your pain to get attention and make herself look like the hero. A meddler is not the family "peace-maker". She is the family GOSSIP. Of course she has to broadcast her "selfless" act, because, after all, if no one knows about it, what's the point?
Although she might make a phony, half-hearted attempt to get your side of the story, the family meddler doesn't really want to hear what you have to say. She knows if she gets you started, you'll probably unload 20 years of garbage on her. In fact, I know of several victims, or should I say "escapees", who did indeed start unloading on their budinskis, telling the truth about years of abuse, only to have the budinski start squirming uncomfortably and mumble something about how it's really none of her business anyway and she really doesn't want to get involved, and maybe throw in, "Oh, look at the time, I'm running late- Gotta go!" As soon as they hear what's REALLY been going on all those years, many meddlers suddenly decide to Stay Out Of It, which is what they should have done in the first place.
Meddling gossips are not the least bit interested in the truth. They just pretend that they are, long enough to get around to whatever points THEY want to make. And Lord knows, after they've been enlightened, they're sure not going to be courageous enough or righteous enough to go back to the abuser and the rest of the family and defend you. Because, although they pretend to be, they don't really want to help you, and they don't really want to "do the right thing". That is simply not how they operate, and it's not their real motivation for trying to "get your side of the story.
Many budinskis choose their moments for maximum embarrassment impact. Nothing plays into a busybody's hands better than having an audience when she confronts you. The audience could be other relatives or perfect strangers. The best audience of all are friends or acquaintances of yours who don't know her, because then she can make you look bad to people who know you, and who have the added plus of being people SHE will never see again. In her zeal to put you on the spot, the self-righteous family meddler will be completely oblivious to the discomfort she is causing the unfortunate innocent bystanders. Budinskis aren't exactly known for their charm and good manners. They don't spend a lot of time reading etiquette books. Clumsily blundering through other people's affairs like the proverbial bull in the china shop, they are oblivious to the vulgarity of causing scenes in public.
If the definition of "peacemaking" is "establishing a state of harmony between people", then the place to start is with the one who causes all the disharmony. AFTER the family "peacemaker" has approached the abuser, confronted him about his behavior, and gotten him to agree to stop creating strife in the family, THEN she can approach the victim and soothe her anxieties with assurances of serenity and calm from then on.
Most phony "peacemakers" won't do this because:
1. They are too intimidated by the abuser to confront him, but have no problem confronting the victim, whom they perceive as the "weaker" of the two parties, or at least too rational and too nice to let them have it.
2. Despite their phony claim of wanting family harmony, what they really want is the status quo. Some thrive on a constant state of crisis and chaos, and torturous family gatherings suit them just fine. Others LIKE seeing the victim stuck in a hopeless situation, because THEY'RE just a little bit sadistic and cruel, too. Or maybe more than a little bit. Others feel better about themselves if they can see the victim as helpless and weak. And because misery loves company, they feel better about their own miserable lives if you are miserable too!
3. Some budinskis have had issues with you all along that you have been unaware of- such as envy, jealousy, or resentment. They do not really have your best interests at heart when pressuring you accept being abused. They are being holier-than-thou and trying to make themselves look good at your expense. They are trying to prove to you, and to everyone else, that they are a better person than you are. Because if they were in your position, they would just overlook it. But the thing is, they are NOT in your position. They are not the one being abused, and they have no right to judge you.
4. Many "peacemakers" are looking for attention for themselves and gratitude for their efforts. If they can succeed in smoothing things over or getting information out of you, then the abuser will be beholden to them. There's nothing like having the Alpha Dog owe you one; hence, their bizarre interest in reeling you back in to a situation that in reality, has nothing to do with them. It's also an ego-boost for them to be privy to others' conflicts and dilemmas. They like having "inside information". They love knowing that their approval or disapproval means so much to the victim that she is willing to allow herself to be abused rather than lose their love. If they can convince the victim to stay in the abusive situation, they get to look like the family hero. Never mind that a REAL hero would have the guts to take a stand against evil, confront the perpetrator, and stick up for the victims. Anyone who stands by and allows someone who loves them to be mistreated is no hero in my book.
To a meddler, "peace" just means everything going back to "normal". Just like it always was, with the abuser's behavior just as bad as ever, everyone else overlooking it and pretending it's not really a problem, and you and the other victims suffering in silence and not rocking the boat. In this situation, it could be said that everyone does have peace- except the victims, who don't count. They just need to be kept in line. If only you would just suck it up, stop complaining, plaster a smile on your face, and start speaking to your abuser again, then we could all get back to business as usual. And the meddler can take the credit for it.
But the solution to achieving peace lies not in convincing you to accept abuse, it lies in getting the abuse to stop. Then there can be peace for EVERYONE in the family. A true peacemaker has to be willing to defend and protect the innocent victims, to have the courage to take a stand against evil and CHANGE things for the better. Then, and only then, will the family meddler deserve to take the credit for bringing about peace in the family.
Until that happens, there will only be the false appearance of peace. What an abusive family calls "peace" is just an illusion, a figment of their imaginations, a fantasy of their delusional minds. This is not God's definition of peace, and it is not a Godly person's definition of peace. True peace must include freedom from anxiety, absence of strife, calm, serenity and harmony for everyone.

July 4, 2008
Each Friday Thursday, Paul McMorrow will take you inside the smoke-filled rooms and darkly-lit corridors of government to bring you the hottest and juiciest political tidbits. This week: It's the Hall's Half-year in Review.
There's still a couple weeks left in the current legislative session, but since we've just passed the year's halfway point – and since some of us are going to the beach a few days early – now seems as good a time as any to tally up the winners and losers from politicking in 2008. Here's who did well, who did terribly, and who just got done on Beacon Hill and in City Hall.
Governor Deval Patrick
The good news first. The noise on Beacon Hill this half-year revolved around the governor's legislative successes and failures – a dramatic departure from last year, what with talk of Cadillacs, drapes, and political incompetence. He's suddenly able to walk the State House halls without tripping over his own feet (on most days, anyway), and it's his policy proposals, not his relationship with the House Speaker, or a string of embarrassing staff shakeups, that dominate the headlines.
In this sense alone, the governor enjoyed the first six months of 2008 much, much more than he did the first half of 2007. And that's saying something, considering that Patrick spent much of the half-year fighting for a doomedcasino bill, and then, on the eve of the bill's ceremonial slaughter, abandoning the few Reps who were actually willing to invite the Speaker's wrath by standing with him when he bolted town to look for a book deal.
It was an appropriate end to a maddening six-month saga.
Stymied in its bid to squeeze coinage out of telecom companies, corporations, and restaurants, the administration dressed up a desperate cash-grab as an economic development proposal. They couldn't convince the House that SheldonAdelson was the answer to the state's property tax crisis, (because he isn't). Casinos would provide cities and towns with one-eighth of the local aid dollars that the Lottery does, dollar for dollar. So, without a real reason for existing, the thing – along with a significant volume of the governor's political capital – gotput down.
Whatevs. Few people, outside of Dan O'Connell and Clyde Barrow, gave it a fighting chance in the first place. Yet, even with one horribly awful legislative defeat on his record, Patrick still isn't doing too bad for himself this year.
For one, he got King Sal to cave on corporate tax loopholes. For another, he can suddenly play ping-pong and not get murdered in the press for it. Plus, he finally saw his $1 billion life sciences package squeeze through the legislature – just in time to jet off to San Diego and get crowned the biotech industry's governor of the year. He trotted out his signature education reform initiative and didn't get totally destroyed for not knowing how he's going to roll the teachers unions, or find a few extra billion to pay for the thing.
And, most importantly, a longtime Beacon Hill observer points out that for better or worse, this year's budget – assuming it ever gets passed – is basically Patrick's budget. It's been nearly two decades since the legislature showed this much deference to the governor's budget, and Patrick certainly didn't get that courtesy last year.
House Speaker Sal DiMasi
One word for you: Oof.
Sal's been getting it from all sides, and the trouble isn't going to go away. That casino victory was forever ago, and regardless of how many energy bill partiesthe guy attends, this session will be remembered as the one that could undo thatawesome legacy DiMasi was building for himself. That's because any one of these seventeen active or pending ethics investigations could bring the feds into the party. They haven't taken down a speaker in a few years now – too long, in their world.
Worse, when DiMasi's friends weren't running around making things worse (you don't wave red at a bull, Rich), they were planning for his demise. Or voting on stuff while in St. Croix. That one sure didn't help.
DiMasi can't even seek refuge in the well-tailored arms of big business. It's been less than a year since he vowed to institute a sales tax holiday every year of his speakership, and he's already gone back on that promise. It sure is hard out there for a pimp.
Senate President Therese Murray
Murray has had the easiest time of the Big Three thus far. She won a staring contest with the House that would've turned a comprehensive oceans management plan into a blinking neon sign in Buzzard's Bay reading, "Hey, Jay Cashman! Build here!" She played the peacekeeper – or, more correctly, the adult – when tensions over casinos and presidential politics had Patrick and DiMasi pissing in the direction of each other's sandboxes. And she exploited the simmering conflict between the two to push her own big-ticket agenda for reforming health care and transportation.
The latter episode also showed the limits of big thinking on Beacon Hill: Interested interests quickly rallied and beat back the most ambitious efforts to squeeze police details and the MBTA's lard-heavy retirement system. It didn't take threats of bodily harm to scale back anyone's thirst for reform.
Mayor Tom Menino
Boston's most powerful person won't have to deal with Ralph Martin next November. He's got enough campaign cash to give every poll worker in town a platinum grill. Michael Flaherty's taking shots at him, but they sound a lot like the ones Maura Hennigan lobbed back in 2005, and we all remember how that one turned out.
The Boston City Council
By our count, the august body hasn't been eviscerated on the Fox 25 morning news in weeks. That has to be a record, or something.
Fat cats. Or, alternately, children
Carla Howell has a very real chance of bleeding every hack in the state dry. Either that, or she's going to visit untold disaster upon each and every child in the Commonwealth. That's because small government is beautiful, and because Carla Howell hates your children. Remember that, come November.
Failed gubernatorial candidate (rather spectacularly at that) Christy Mihosrecently launched Christy2010.com, a website pushing him as an "Independent for Governor of Massachusetts."
Mihos has not yet decided to run for governor in 2010, saying, "We'll see what the future brings, but right now I'm pretty happy running a business where we're doing pretty well because we're giving people what they want."
The biggest loser of the year thus far, by a long shot. Take State SenatorJames Marzilli, for instance. He beat back sexual assault charges in Arlington, and celebrated by going on an absolutely epic spree of groping, running and crying – punctuated by some of the greatest pickup lines we've ever read, by the way.
Over in the House, Rep. Jennifer Callahan had a goon/colleague "personally threaten" her during the budget, , "I could really hurt you if I wanted to."
James Fagan pulled not one but two absolute nutters. The first, in March, was eight uninterrupted minutes of vitriol about drinking, gambling and the evils of the working media, whom he glared at while labeling "vultures" that "prey off the bones of … tragedies." That was Fagan staying within himself, apparently. Last week, he promised to "rip apart" six-year old rape victims, adding, "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined."
And speaking of ruined lives! Earlier this week, House members "booed loudly" when told they'd have to come to work on July 3. Don't you know who they are???
Speaking of vacations, the Hill is taking a long overdue one next week.
July 18, 2008
Each Friday, Paul McMorrow will take you inside the smoke-filled rooms and darkly-lit corridors of government to bring you the hottest and juiciest political tidbits. This week: A rash of bills on the Hall, but who cares because it's open season on Jim Marzilli; Tim Cahill has us thinking like it's 1978; and somebody's been raising some cash while we've been away.
The legislature rushed towards the end of its session this week, racing to take action on a number of bills that had fallen prey to the body's famously inattentive attention span. There was action on nursing, gay nuptials, health care and same-day voter registration. The Hill also witnessed shameful scandal and naked political ambition. And, thanks to the latter two, we don't have to pretend to be trying to wrap our skulls around any of that policy stuff.
The week opened with Senator Bob Hedlund's very public bid to strip Senator/alleged serial-groper Jim Marzilli of his chairmanship, and the $7,500 stipend it carries. The Senate's ethics committee is currently investigating the allegations of leering, weepy pervdom, but it may not get to take action before Marzilli slinks out of office next January.
In the meantime, Hedlund argued, relieving Marzilli of his leadership position might send the message — long, long overdue, some might argue — that somebody in state government actually disapproves of bad behavior.
Besides the fact that the Arlington darling is "clearly incapable of fulfilling his duties as chairman," he doesn't even come to work anymore. Hasn't in weeks. Slam dunk, right?
No such luck. Senate President Therese Murray rejected Hedlund's bid, leaning on the ongoing ethics investigation. Which, in turn, is leaning on the judicial process. After all, several pages of graphic police reports (and one teary, though nondescript, exclamation about one's life being over) could be wrong.
"It is what it is," Hedlund said Wednesday, indulging in Beli-speech. "I respect the fact that he's been duly elected, and it makes no sense to expel him now because there'd be no time to hold a special election. I respect the ethics committee process. But this was one thing that could've been done now by the President, unilaterally. People have been stopping me and asking me why we haven't dealt with it. This would've been one thing to show we're able to police ourselves."
Well, why can't they? We've heard whispers that it's not because the Legislature loves coddling alleged serial sex offenders, per se. It's more that conservatives who get caught sexually misbehaving are loathsome pervs, while good liberals are necessarily the victims of some chemical imbalance or another.
So, while a number of senators privately applauded Hedlund's effort, just one Democrat, Ways and Means chair Steven Panagiotakos, has publicly called for Marzilli's resignation. The rest are afraid to voice an opinion. They clearly don't have permission (to have opinions, that is).
In one of those only-in-this-building moments, Rep. Eric Turkington, Marzilli's co-chair and former House colleague, told State House News that the senator's absence hasn't hamstrung his committee's work, because most of its bills have been reported out already. So there isn't much work for the ghost-chairman to miss anyway.
The interesting wrinkle here is that, if Marzilli can manage to hang in office until the end of his term in January, he'll add another year to his pension at his higher, Senate leadership salary. All he needs is one day to get credit for the year.
A pension reform bill that would've closed this loophole—stipulating that state employees work six months, not a single day, to get credit for a year of work—has been hopelessly circulating the State House halls. It has enjoyed little favor from legislative leadership. Its author? Bob Hedlund.
This week's lesson: It's not OK for disabled firefighters to prance around flexing in man-panties, though it's totally kosher for favored no-show chairmen to pad their pensions. As long as they weren't doing any work in the first place. Obviously.
Of particular interest to those political observers who aren't naturally inclined to mock the misfortunes of grabby men suffering from bipolar disorder, was this week's teeth-baring clash between Gov. Deval Patrick, L.G. Tim Murray, and Treasurer Tim Cahill. The very public dispute, while ostensibly concerning Big Dig finances and debt at the Pike, could presage open warfare in the state Democratic party.
Cahill has repeatedly denied that he will challenge the governor in two years, but his willingness to savage the administration on Pike finances speaks volumes. As does the administration's attempt to tie the Treasurer to the Pike—the most radioactive agency in state politics.
There are higher stakes than Cahill softening up Murray in the event that Patrick bolts Boston for Washington. There's talk on Beacon Hill that Cahill has made up his mind that Patrick is beatable, and that he's crowned himself the man to do the beating. (It won't be the Republicans, after all.) The governor, who has suffered a number of unflattering comparisons to Michael Dukakis, could be in for the worst yet—a craven power-grab from the conservative wing of his own party. It'll be 1978 all over again.
Cahill doesn't believe that he can beat AG Martha Coakley or Congressman Michael Capuano for a Senate seat, in the event one opens up. It's time for him to move up or get out, so he has to establish some high-profile differences with the competition.
That means making a tour of TV newsrooms and assailing Patrick's apocalyptic sense of finance. The more Cahill can erode Patrick's polling numbers, the more the Democrats will need him to ride in and rescue the Corner Office from Charlie Baker.
There's a reason why nobody sees Coakley picking fights with the administration. One Beacon Hill observer quips. "It's because she has no interest in his job."
And this is the perfect flareup for Cahill to press Patrick. The Pike is political poison. It destroys all who cross its path. Now, more than property taxes or casinos or bio-tech, the governor is wrestling with a monster that will define him.
"The key to the governor's success is the perception of him as the cavalry," says political consultant Michael Goldman, an adviser to the Patrick camp. "He needs to up the stakes, and remind people that this was a Republican mess that Weld, Cellucci and Romney left behind." If Patrick doesn't, he'll be the one taking the fall for any disaster that ensues.
That's why he's got to throw some dynamite at something, or somebody. The quicker, the better. "Now's the perfect time to exert influence and blow up the Pike," says Warren Tolman, a former state legislator and onetime gubernatorial candidate. "Who's going to stand in your way?" More important than the savings, Tolman says, "is the symbolism." The spectacle of crazed Iraqis whacking Saddam's head with their shoes? That's nothing, compared to what the Canton tollbooths are in for.
Tolman compares the current flareup to the 2006 tunnel collapse, and believes that, while the consequences of mishandling the situation are severe, it also presents a tremendous political opportunity. "This was thrown on Deval Patrick's lap, and he's clearly got to do something. Mitt Romney was not responsible for the tunnel collapsing, but he took action, and it was to his benefit. Deval Patrick has a similar opportunity here, to show his ability as a crisis manager."
Whoa! Look who raised a ton of money while we were on vacation. It's at-large city councilor Michael Flaherty—the man this column once mockedfor raising $72 in a month!
Flaherty took in over $132,000 in June (including $500 maximum donations from local punks Ken Casey and Al Barr). That far exceeds any effort he'd been able to muster previously, and it's a sign that maybe—just maybe—we'll have a halfway decent mayoral race on our hands.
July 25, 2008
Each Friday, Paul McMorrow will take you inside the smoke-filled rooms and darkly-lit corridors of government to bring you the hottest and juiciest political tidbits. This week: If Michael Flaherty is really running for mayor, how come no one wants his seat? Plus: The legislature is reduced to song.
Let's assume for a minute that Michael Flaherty is going to run for mayor next year. That's still no sure thing, but given his vociferous opposition to all things Tommy and his recent show of financial strength, observers inside City Hall believe it's at least a strong possibility. And since Flaherty's mayoral run is entirely within the realm of possibility, this question is worth asking: Why doesn't anybody seem to want the at-large City Council seat Flaherty might be about to vacate?
The politically-inclined classes usually rip each other to pieces over the prospect of snagging an at-large seat — not to mention the generous salary, citywide exposure, and primo parking spot that come with the office.
The seat that Maura Hennigan vacated in 2005 inspired a 15-person bloodbath that swept Sam Yoon into office. The previous election cycle, in 2003, saw a dozen challengers trash around in an unsuccessful attempt at knocking off four entrenched incumbents. Then came last year's rain-soaked exercise in fascism and not caring about anything at all.
That apathy—matched by a startling lack of ambition from anybody with half a chance of getting elected—doesn't appear to have abated. Thus far, the possible departure of the council's wealthiest, most entrenched incumbent hasn't inspired much interest.
Two candidates, former Nantucket selectman/rotary aficionado Doug Bennett (buoyed by donations from Paul Cellucci, Bob Hedlund, andCharlie Baker) and Haitian activist Jean-Claude Sanon, have jumped into the race, and, uh, that's it.
We've heard that 2007's last-place finisher, David James Wyatt, might be eyeing another run. (His current campaign account balance: $-48.43.) Rumors are also circulating that somebody named Arroyo might take a shot at the seat. Since the affable Felix Sr. appeared largely disinterested in the job the last time he had it, and Albert's still waiting on word from his doctor, that would leave Felix Jr., a political organizer with SEIU Local 615.
The point is, this isn't the most fearsome slate of candidates to ever vie for office. Names notable for their absence from City Hall gossip circles includeSusan Passoni, Eddie Flynn, and Matt O'Malley. At least one close political observer suggested that if Sonia Chang Diaz weren't playing Ahab to a whale named Dianne, she'd be a lock for the open seat. And why would Bruce Wall bother running for council, when he could make the mayor's life so much more miserable by launching a mayoral campaign?
To be sure, most political operatives are focusing their time, money, and attention—not to mention their ambition—on the presidential race. They're assuming at least one Senate seat opens up soon, and preparing for the jockeying that will ensue between Martha Coakley, Tim Cahill, along with most of the Congressional delegation (and the jobs-bonanza dominoes that will fall as those A-listers seize promotions). In this climate, locking yourself into a high-paying city-level job might be the worst career move a pol with big eyes could make.
But while very few seem interested in joining the fracas, the schlubs who currently troll the halls of the fifth floor are said to have already begun to turn up the heat on each other. "This place will be a shitstorm next summer," says someone inside City Hall, alluding to the prospective mayoral race. This person adds, quickly, that it'll be, "A nasty year" from the start.
That's because it's easier to count the pols who don't want to be the next council president than to count the ones who do. Mike Ross, Steve Murphy, and Charles Yancey are all said to be interested, and credible cases could be made for Yoon, Rob Consalvo, and John Tobin.
Half a dozen councilors scrambling to undercut each other, with the prize of being next in line for the mayor's office? It's going to be a fun few months.
It seems that the crush of end-of-session work the Legislature is currently enduring—these guys have been in session three whole days a week—may be getting to some people. During Thursday's drawn-out debate on Hollywood East tax credits, Rep. Angelo Scaccia expressed his opposition. In full song.
Initial reports that he was backed by a chorus line of leggy, high-kicking backbenchers could not be confirmed at press time.
Scaccia's colleagues greeted his efforts with rousing applause. So, for an encore, the Hyde Park Rep hit Hollywood with a devastating combination of class warfare and utter nonsense:
"Why are we in government? Are we here to protect the well-endowed? Is it our job to make the rich richer? We're not going to lose much or gain much. And maybe it's worth it to see some stud like myself walking down the street. But it's not worth it, Mr. Speaker … Maybe they're pretty or handsome and tall, but they don't need our money. It's the people in our districts who need our help. They blow in one week and blow out the next week. I don't know how many hamburgers they eat when they're here. But it ain't than much … I hope the bill doesn't pass, and I'm going to come back for an encore again because people have told me I might have a shot at this Hollywood myself."
The debate wasn't all yuks and dulcet tones, though. At one point, Steven D'Amico, who led the failed assault on the tax breaks, refused to yield the floor to Garrett Bradley, a film industry backer. D'Amico did yield to Matt Patrick, who happens to agree with him on the issue of striking a blow against bloated L.A. fat cats.
This fact inspired the more cinematically-inclined Reps in the chamber to rain a chorus of boos upon the pair. (An unrelated item, but one that must be discussed: What's with Garrett Bradley's dreamy soft-light headshot? Here's hoping that unfortunate trip to the Hanover Mall at least included a stop at Orange Julius.)

Stand Up for Tibet Today
Last week - 32-year old Richen, widowed mother of 4 from Ngaba
set herself on fire in front of a Chinese police surveillance station
at the gates of Kirti monastery.
Tsering Kyi, young female student from the Tibetan middle school in Machu,
set herself ablaze at the vegetable market in Tro Kho Menma Shang village in Machu.
Chinese vendors at the Machu vegetable market threw stones at her burning body.
Dorje, 18, set himself ablaze in a nomadic area of Ngaba, the third immolation in three days.
He is the 26th Tibetan to have self-immolated since February 2009 in protests against Beijing's rule in Tibetan-populated areas. [1]
These are the acts of a desperate, deeply troubled people. A different picture is painted from the Chinese goverrnment's point of view: In Tibet, "the people are happy," it claims, with the changes brought under Chinese rule.
The people say different.
"Soldiers are ... everywhere."
"You can't have a picture of the Dalai Lama. You would be arrested."
"You can't speak out. You would be beaten. Taken away. Disappeared.
"You can't leave the country. Reporters can't get in. News is difficult to get out."*
"Communities and monasteries in these areas are undergoing patriotic re-education."
"Tibetans have been warned that they can be shot if they protest against Chinese government rule."
"Happy" is not a word I would use to describe a population forced to live under such conditions.
Studying the history of any nation, one is struck, in general, by mankind's seemingly incessant desire for possession of territory throughout the ages -- and the Power wielded by those able to claim and assert control over the territories they manage to acquire.
Tibet has now been claimed by China and named the Tibet Autonomous Region.
An autonomous region is an area of a country that has a degree of autonomy, or freedom from an external authority.
au·ton·o·mous adj: According to my dictionary, means "not
controlled by others. Independent. Self-governing." Which doesn't seem to be the case, however, in the Tibet Autonomous Region.
This posting is not about who owns what parcel of land;who is or is not in control; or even what words one uses to describe one's acquisitions. My concern here today is about the violation of the rights of a particular group of human beings who want to keep their own language, beliefs and culture, and not be afraid every waking day of their lives.
This is not about refusal to assimilate. People willingly adopt a new language, religion, culture or way of life every day. But if who you are and what you think, believe, say, write, or choose as a way of life constitutes grounds for you to be monitored, arrested, punished, "re-educated", disappeared or killed ... that's bullying gone viral. Societies claiming to be civilized that routinely permit, or engage in, this sort of "governance" should not then be surprised when others call them to task for this hypocrisy.
civ·i·lized .adj. :
1. showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, ethical, and reasonable;
2. cultured, polite.
Intolerance, cruelty and revenge are not compatible with civilized society.
Such practices, unfortunately, are rampant throughout history. Some group arrives that wishes to occupy the space another group inhabits. Or territories are won or lost as a result of war between nations. I can't help seeing a parallel, though, between what happened to the original North American Native Indian population and what's happening today to the Tibetans vis-a-vis the slow, steady eradication, through subversion/conversion/dispersion, of a culture struggling to maintain its existence in the wake of drastic and unstoppable change. As with the Native Americans, the Tibetans are being forced to assimilate, not use their own language, accept subjugation and refrain from resistance. I am not the only one who wonders if in another 40 years' time everything one normally associates with the words "Tibet" or "Tibetan" will be but a memory.
Such were the thoughts that came to me when I heard recently from friends about what's happening today in Tibet.
"They install spies in monasteries to monitor us and demand that all monks be "re-educated."
"Our Tibetan native language is not allowed to be taught in the schools."
"All international phone calls are monitored. You have to watch what you say."
("Re-educated: as in "Wipe the mind clean, insert only officially sanctioned material".)
I tried to visit a well-known, widely read Tibetan online news site today and a big red WARNING box suddenly appeared on my screen telling me not to go there, that doing so would infect my computer with malicious trojans ("This site is listed as suspicious. Visiting it may harm your computer. Third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which cause a warning notice", it explained.)
Tibetan news sites or blogs in support of Tibet are routinely hacked, so this is not surprising, given that today is the anniversary of a Tibetan uprising. Clearly, certain entities do not appear to want what's currently happening in Tibet to be known, much less talked about.
Today there will be demonstrations, candlelight vigils, marches, and protests worldwide, from thousands of people in a wave of support from activists, friends and sympathisers in solidarity with the Tibetans, standing up to say, unanimously, that the brutality and killings must stop.
I sense their desperation, these repressed Tibetans who are resorting to self immolation as the only way out of a devastating situation. The last defiant act, the final plea, to the world at large, to please help.
I realize with a small shudder that if I now lived in China or Tibet, this blog post would likely never be allowed, and that if I persisted in expressing my opinion or sharing such news about Tibet that unfortunate things might begin to happen to me.
(Just ask Cheng Jianping, who got sent for a year of hard labor to be patriotically "re-educated" for posting a sarcastic remark on Twitter. Ask Liu Xiaobo, professor, writer and Nobel Peace Prize winner, whose long, non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China and calls for the Chinese government to become more "democratic" earned him a lengthy, ongoing prison term.)
So many uprisings, so much civil discontent, worldwide. So many wars, so many violations by humans against other humans, so much death and suffering .... so little one can do.
Hang onto your freedoms while you still have them, those that can. The bullies of the world will always exist, pouncing to control what you do, limit where you go, decide who you're allowed to talk to, what you read; monitor what you say, judge you by what you believe. And if you object, you will be dealt with.
We are all humans sharing the same planet. Some just have more Power than others. It is those powerless others with whom we must stand as brothers. Born into a different earthspace ... we could be them.
A single image, whether captured by camera or painted by words, is worth a thousand reminders. What kind of world are we living in where one's response to another's desperate act of suicide by fire -- is to hurl stones at her burning body? As a species, we seem not to have evolved all that much in the Human Compassion Department these millions of years we've been inhabiting this planet.
Tibetans in Tibet are risking everything to ensure their message is heard and acted upon by the outside world. *Last year, 54 percent of all messages sent to the Sina Weibo blogging site from Tibet had been deleted by the Chinese government.[2]
Please. Stand up for Tibet today. Enough of these needless deaths!!!

St. Patrick's Day Green Smoothie RecipePosted on March 17, 2014 at 12:05 am
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I know some of y'all probably spent the weekend celebrating with some green beer, so I figured today I'd share a healthy smoothie recipe to help get you back on track for the week while still being festive!
If you don't know already…I love a good green smoothie. I drink them once a day (usually in the mornings) so I play around with the ingredients pretty frequently so that my taste buds don't get bored drinking them. Green smoothies are a great way for me to get my veggie servings in for the day so I'm about them.
My go-to green smoothie right now uses the following:
- 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds
- 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein (mostly for flavor)
- 1 packet of Stevia in the Raw (I like my smoothies on the sweeter side…you could also use honey)
- 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 heaping handfuls of baby spinach
- 1 frozen organic banana
- 1/2 frozen avocado
I throw all of that into my blender (I have a Ninja, but I'm hoping to get a Vitamix soon) in that order and blend away until smooth.
I always try to use frozen fruit when I can, because it makes the texture of the smoothie so much…smoother. I know the avocado sounds weird, but it was a whole new ballgame when I started adding avocado to my morning smoothies. It adds healthy fat PLUS makes the smoothie way creamer. WIN.
Give this green smoothie a try and let me know what you think!
xo, Jessica

This sounds delicious! Instead of using Stevia, could I use honey?

What problem are you trying to solve?
Answering this question is crucial before we can explore any solution.
Here are some of the most common symptoms we can address within a Continuous Improvement or Ideation initiative:
- People are submitting complaints rather than proposing solutions;
- The Idea Evaluation Committee has become the bottleneck;
- 90% of ideas get rejected, and the rest are stuck in analysis;
- It takes over six months to implement the few approved suggestions;
- People are losing trust in the system and no longer participate;
- The rewards generate more conflict than collaboration;
- Participants don't feel recognized for their efforts;
- The same problems and ideas get repeated in different locations;
- The system has become a burden to manage;
- Nobody is happy with the results: neither managers nor employees;
It is common to face the issues above, and the primary cause boils down to this fact: you are using a suggestion box and a centralized evaluation funnel.
You might be using a physical box, an email inbox, a spreadsheet, a shared drive, or a hack of all of the above. It's pretty common, and it's already a good start. Much better than nothing, for sure.
So, if boxes or funnels are not the way to go, what is?

What We Do
Lifegate's goal is to educate the people of Sierra Leone concerning God's Stories and Life Skills.
We tell the stories from the Scriptures so that the people may know the Lord. We teach the people the life skills they need in order to provide for themselves and to enable them to tell and teach God's Stories to others.
In our schools, we are telling the stories to the children and teaching them life skills.
In our orphanage, we are telling the stories to the youth and teaching them life skills.
In our churches, we are telling the stories to the people and teaching them life skills.
On the radio, we are telling stories from the Bible and sharing the Gospel.
In our Trade School, we are telling stories from the Bible to adults and teaching life skills.
In the end, it's pretty simple: we want to teach Africans life skills, and we want Africans to tell God's stories to other Africans, in their mother tongue.

Moments from Mountain Jam
Warren Haynes and Radio Woodstocks fourth annual Mountain Jam festival took place over the weekend in Hunter, NY. As in years past, Govt Mule anchored the weekends festivities with two-set performances on both Friday and Saturday. In addition, Mountain Jam boasted marquee performances by the likes of Bob Weir & RatDog, Levon Helms Ramble on the Road, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Umphreys McGee, Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood, Citizen Cope, Ray LaMontagne,
Drive-By Truckers, Dark Star Orchestra, Galactic with Mr.Lif, Grace Potter & The Nocturnal and Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, among others. Always a gracious host, Haynes invited a number of performers onstage with Govt Mule over the course of the weekend and also jammed with an eclectic mix of his guests. On Friday Govt Mule invited Umphreys McGee guitarist Brendan Bayliss out for a cover of the Grateful Deads Sugaree, and the trio of Grace Potter, Nocturnals Scott Tournet and Galactic keyboardist Rich Vogel for a cover of Led Zeppelins Whole Lotta Love and the end of its first set. Soon after, Umphreys McGee guitarist Jake Cinninger helped the Mule kick things off second set with a cover of The Beatles Dear Prudence, while Ivan Neville and Galactic saxophonist Ben Ellman added to a funky Spanish Moon. In addition, Potter jammed with Dumpstaphunk during their early-evening set.
Though scattered showers caused a slight delay Saturday afternoon, singer/songwriters Ray LaMontagne and Jackie Greene both turned in some of the weekends most well-received performances. Haynes also took the stage to sit in with Citizen Cope and the longtime friend Michael Franti & Spearhead. Combining his love of music and his passion for grassroots activism, Franti spoke and performed in Mountain Jams expanded Awareness Village and offered an acoustic spot on WDST radio. He also sat in with Govt Mule during their headlining spot for a rap during Unthrow That Spear. Other Govt Mule guests included LaMontagne on To Love Somebody and keyboardist John Ginity on J.J. Cales After Midnight. The keyboardist has shared the stage with Govt Mule a number of times over the years thanks to his work with both Robert Randolph and Citizen Cope. Govt Mules show was also noteworthy for its extended encore, which featured takes on Beautifully Broken, 32/20 Blues and a run from Fallen Down into The Other One Jam that was littered with Gimmie Shelter teases.
Sundays schedule featured some of the weekends biggest names, as well as a number of current buzz bands including Philadelphias Dr. Dog and local favorites the Felice Brothers. Despite being associated with a more indie-centric sound, Dr. Dog got into the sit in game, bringing out Elvis Perkins horn section Dearland for a take on My Old Ways. Soon after, Drive-By Truckers took the stage and saluted Levon Helm, who is friendly with frontman Patterson Hoods father David. Though not technically on the bill, Haynes performed a number of times throughout the day, sitting in with Medeski, Scofield Martin & Wood for a jam and Helm for his encore of I Shall Be Released and The Weight. In certain ways Helms rare festival set was a super jam itself, featuring his daughter Amy Helm and her Ollabelle drummer Tony Leone, guitarists Larry Campbell, Jimmy Vivino, Campbells wife Teresa Williams and Little Sammy Davis Jr.
RatDog closed out the festival with a full two-set performance that drew in Helm on Bob Dylans She Belongs to Me and Haynes on Loser, the latter of which is a staple in the Govt Mule catalogue. Helms appearance with RatDog marks the first time the drummer has performed with Weir since the Grateful Dead guitarist sit in with The Band at Woodstock '94 along with bassist Rob Wasserman. The two musicians also famously collaborated near Hunter, NY at the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen in 1973, and a post-Robbie Robertson version of The Band joined also the Grateful Dead onstage for New Orleans, Big Boss Man and Iko Iko during a 1984 SEVA benefit at Ontarios Kingswood Music Theatre.
Weir also thanked Haynes for hosting the weekends festivities before diving into Loose Lucy, which includes the lyrics thank you, for a real good time.

For business people who want to give stress to the representation of their business, using catalogs as a advertising instrument is the greatest fixation to do.
Note: The third book in this series, covering the Famous Charisma label, was recently issued (late 2008).
When records were records (as they are increasingly becoming again) the label was like a window into the company's esthetic soul. The label was a like a car company's badge; a coat of arms. The label was important. So important the companies eventually became known as 'labels.'
Label art was lavish. The best ones were sumptuously produced using high quality paper and inks, but more importantly they had a certain industrial artwork 'vibe' that told you what was in the grooves. Like those old Decca SXLs or even Elektra's EKS 70000 tan and white label series. Ever see an original gold and black Telefunken? Or an original 'tulip' DGG? They somehow expressed what was in the grooves.
RCA's switch in the early 1970's to a soulless corporate logo label perfectly mirrored the sinking quality of the music, sound, packaging and especially the pressings. It was genius!
If you're a label lover, if you segregate by label, if an odd serenity sweeps over you when you handle a Warners-7Arts green label Van Morrison album but not a later 'palmtree' edition, you need to know about Yuri Grishin's 'The Famous British Collectable Record Labels' series of books.
Mr. Grishin's 'Island Records 1962-1977' released in 2006 is meticulously researched, thoroughly annotated and filled with exquisitely produced and printed label scans that border on the pornographic.
Do you remember when you saw your first 'pink label Island' LP? I do mine. It was a copy of Jethro Tull's Stand Up (ILPS 9103). I found it in a small store in Lexington Massachusetts located by the train station called 'The Depot.' I knew just by looking at that record (especially the label), that it was something special compared to the American Reprise pressing I already had. Of course having been turned on to the Parlophone Beatles albums a few years earlier, I had a well-founded pre-conceived notion about the improved sound quality well before listening.
The worldwide popularity and collectability of those early pink label Island records now, some 39 years later, attests to the strength of that early rush! Clearly it was one felt around the world, including back in the USSR.
Mr. Grishin's 352 page labelography (text pages are duplicated in both English and Russian) is thorough and well-researched. The number of 'pink label' variations was a big surprise. For instance, one page reproduces four 'pink label' variations of Jethro Tull's This Was (ILPS 9085). There are pressing, jacket printing and matrix information provided for each label image.
Also covered are Sue, Dragon and Trojan, three other labels associated with Chris Blackwell's Island Records (Sue was an American label distributed by Island, but Island apparently began licensing other labels' titles as well and issuing them on Sue, which was not part of the licensing agreement). Blackwell, an heir to the Crosse and Blackwell family fortune, though born in London, spent time or grew up in Jamaica and helped to introduce ska and reggae to the UK and the world via those labels. Also in the Island stable and covered are releases on Bronze and Chrysalis, as well as Island-licensed and distributed in the UK American labels like Blue Thumb.
There are color slicks of every album cover and even a section devoted to address and jacket printer issues and variants thereof, plus coverage of 45rpm singles. Believe me, you'll come away from this in awe of Mr. Grishin's thoroughness, not just in giving you every tiny detail and variation, but in the way he's indexed and arranged the book. The index breaks down by catalog number with prices, by album (you can find every reference to any given title), and by the standard people, place and thing listing.
To put icing on the cake, Mr. Grishin includes a terrific interview he conducted with veteran mastering engineer Denis Blackham ('Bilbo') and Blackham's explanation of the disc cutting process. He also indentifies many mastering stamps you've surely seen on the lead out groove area of most of your records.
If you are at all interested in collecting 'pink label' Islands, or 'sun-ray' Islands, or just in having original pressings of artist you love like Nick Drake (get out the big checkbook: Five Leaves Left is listed as being worth $800 and I believe it, though many of the prices seem low to me) and before bidding on Ebay or buying elsewhere you want to be sure of what you're bidding on (you'll end up knowing more than the seller, that's guaranteed), you need this book!
Visit Mr. Grishin's site to order: www.collectable-records.ru You will be glad you did!
Also consider his recent book 'Harvest Label 1969-1980,' which is somewhat misnamed since the book covers E.M.I. Records, including Columbia, His Masters Voice, EMI/Regal Zonophone, Parlophone, Tamla/Motown, MGM, United Artists, Stateside and of course Harvest. There's more of a historical/chronological organization to this book, which is a good idea. In fact, my only criticism of the first book is its lack of historical perspective. It's told almost exclusively forensically from the label and jacket artwork.
The book features the same incredible attention to pressing and printing details, artwork variations etc. and I was flattered to find myself mentioned in the section covering identification of the EMI matrix number system.
Again, the indexing is superb, this time including artwork designers, photographers, engineers, producers and recording studios! Also getting the same thorough treatment in separate books are the Famous Charisma and Vertigo labels.
Demand these books as Christmas presents or buy them for yourself. If you're serious about record collecting, these masterpieces of research and presentation are essential reference works. Thanks for doing this Mr. Grishin!
Grishin's latest book on the Famous Charisma label has just been released. We'll review it shortly!
For business people who want to give stress to the representation of their business, using catalogs as a advertising instrument is the greatest fixation to do.

Blind Followers of Blind Leaders
Matthew 15:14
There are a lot of statements that Satan loves to hear people say. Satan loves to hear people say, "There is no God." Satan loves to hear people say, "I do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." He loves it when people say, "Church attendance is not necessary." Satan loves to hear people say, "You do not have to belong to a church in order to go to heaven." He loves it when he hears people say, "All you need to do to go to heaven is just keep the ten commandments" or "worship in the church of your choice."
We could go on and on with a list of statements that Satan loves to hear people say, but the one we hear most—and, I think, his favorite—is this: "We are all going to the same place but only by a different way." The place that they are talking about is heaven, not hell.
Is this true? Does the Bible teach that a statement such as this is true? Does a person have a right to choose the way that they are going to heaven? A person does have a right to choose their way, but the Bible tells us it may be the wrong way.
This Bible verse was quoted in a previous article, but it is appropriate to repeat it at this time: Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
The Son of God tells us in the word of God that He is the way. He said, "I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved (John 10:9). Verse one of Chapter ten of the book of John says, "He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but limbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."
So what is this way that Christ is telling us about? We have God's word, the Bible, to answer this question.
First, we must have the word ((Romans 10:14). We must believe the word and believe that Christ is the Son of God (John 8:24). A person must repent of their sins (Luke 13:3), confess that they believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Matthew 10:32), and then be buried with Him in baptism for the remission of your sins. Upon doing this, Christ will add you to His church. No one will vote to see if you will be accepted (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:47).
If you do these things, you will be taking the first steps in becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. If you do not accept the words of Christ and follow man's way, then you will be a "BLIND FOLLOWER OF BLIND LEADERS." We urge you to be a follower of Christ and not man.

You can accidentally delete all source platforms in the solutions wizards for XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x upgrades or adoption. [#13675]

Remediation action reports for imported web applications do not display. [#17583]
For user accounts imported from Active Directory, integrated login fails with the error 'Wrong username or password'. [#17609]
Using the AppDNA SDK to configure a XenDesktop upgrade solution with a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) source platform results in an error that indicates the OS is not supported. [#17672]
The Load AD & ConfigMgr Data screen does not have a scroll bar, preventing you from selecting all OUs. [#17789]
When server side queuing is enabled, clicking View Queued Events on the Dashboard crashes AppDNA. [#17841]
An upgrade fails if server-side queuing is enabled in the prior version of AppDNA. [#18965]
Compared to: AppDNA 7.5

When you access a report for a nested group from the Manage Groups screen, the report does not include the group name for the nested group. [#10689]
If Install Capture cannot discover the product name, manufacturer, and version for applications or is unable to install them, AppDNA cannot differentiate the applications and so handles them as if they are the same application. [#11186]
In reports exported to an MHT format, the links under Action Detail do not work. [#11188]
Use of Direct Import to import an App-V SFT file results in the error "MsiViewExecute returned error 1627". [#11587]

IWC Big Pilots Top Gun Black PVD Automatic Watch IW501901 Unworn
Pilot's watches have a storied place in the history of both watchmaking and aviation, and IWC has been involved in that history from the very beginning. Staking their claim as a premier watchmaker, IWC introduced the first pilots watch with anti-magnetic properties at a critical moment, the outbreak of WWII. While aviation became a more integral part of the war effort, many of the elements that made the IWC pilot practical for aviators also lends itself to modern fashion. With such a lengthy history, is amazing how little this model has changed over the years. A large case and clean dial with a lack of complications make this watch highly visible and easy to read, whether dodging enemy fire in a dogfight, or tough questions in a board meeting.
Of course if proud aeronautical history and crisp, simple design is not impressive enough for you, there's always the Top Gun edition in black ceramic. In addition to everything else that makes the Big Pilot a collector's dream, it also features an extra 2 mm's on the case (bringing it to a substantial 48mm) and a seven-day power reserve. The jet black PVD is undeniably sporty, but still versatile enough to dress up when you're ready to make a big impression. To put it simply, this watch can be your wingman anytime!

More than four months after the Pacific Lumber Co. filed for bankruptcy, it is asking a federal judge to allow the company to hire an expert to assess the value of its timberlands.
Timber holding subsidiary Scotia Pacific is asking U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Richard Schmidt to let it hire KPMG, an international company that provides tax, audit and valuation services. While KPMG has never worked for Scotia Pacific, a principal in the firm, James Yerges, disclosed in an affidavit that global real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield hired him in the summer of 2006 to appraise Palco's assets.
The value of Scopac's 210,000 acres of timberland is one of the most important elements to the federal bankruptcy case being heard in Corpus Christi, Texas. Scopac's $714 million in debt is secured by the timber, and the value of the land will almost certainly influence who controls the company after bankruptcy.
"Such valuations will be done in order and are crucial to facilitate negotiations among Scopac, Scopac's creditors, and proposed lenders or investors," Scopac attorneys wrote in the request to the court.
The unsecured creditors committee has also asked the court for approval to hire appraisers.
The committee is looking to hire James W. Sewell Co., Stuntzner Engineering and Forestry and Eureka Forester Jim Able. The committee is entitled to independent, credible information from professionals, the committee's lawyers wrote.
"This is simply the only way for the committee to know where it stands in the complex financial dynamic that exists between the debtors, the noteholders and the other principal creditor constituencies in the case," they wrote.

Why Heath works at Enham Trust
Enham Trust is a truly unique place, which grabbed my attention the first time I stepped through the door. I joined the Trust in summer 2015 and became the Chief Executive, as an Interim in November 2016, and substantively from February this year.
There are many reasons Enham Trust has got under my skin and driven me to want to make things better, but the main two are the people we support and the people I work alongside on a daily basis.
It's an absolute privilege to be part of an organisation that truly lives its values, lots of places claim to be person centred, but what you discover on speaking to people who work at Enham Trust is that no matter what area they work in, they have one thing in common, they want to make things better.
It is this unified passion that helps make my job easier.
What I hear regularly from people we support and their families is that Enham makes a tremendous difference to people's lives, and whilst we are developing and improving things all the time, that basic truth underpins what we do.
I am impressed and humbled daily by the things people around me achieve, and its not everywhere you work where you feel like that. I get to chat every day to the people we support and staff from a really diverse range of teams, all of whom are committed to moving the organisation forward and working together to achieve greater things.
How many CEOs can say that?

Product Description
NFL Examination: The Vikings will miss EJ Henderson on defense as he is clearly going to be out for the rest of the season. He came into the game with 63 solo tackles and 2 sacks. He was basically a wristband maker and a large part of a Viking defensive unit that ranked in the top 10. Not only will he be physically missed on the area, but it stays to be witnessed how this could mentally impact the complete Vikings team. Seeing an damage as gruesome as the one Henderson suffered 1st hand is adequate to make anyone a tiny tentative to go back out onto the field.
You can also make very a statement with rings. In certain big cocktail rings are really 'in' at the 2nd, as nicely as bangles. Bangles are created of various supplies, like as gold, silver, glass, wood, plastic and ladies are probably to dress in them in pairs, at occasions a single but usually added on each and every arm. Or if you desire bracelets you can choose out from distinct friendship, stretch or allure bracelets. And fairly effectively-liked between youngsters are coloured custom silicone wristbands.
Your group leader will seem his greatest in the GI Joe Duke Classic Muscle Kid Costume. Picture him seeking slick in a black jumpsuit with a stuffed armor torso and silver accents. Then, he slips on the mask. Now he's prepared for something. Of course, something has to contain consuming cake, opening presents, and stalking around the backyard in a game of hide and seek out.

During this time I have been a special education math teacher, an instructional coach and now a grade level coordinator. While working at Lincoln I have enjoyed our students and the community we serve.
