Opening a new facility? Keen to rally your employees and other stakeholders on this news?
Opening an office is an excellent opportunity to connect with your stakeholders, share progress, revisit your current set of processes, involve staff and improve your brand recall.
Here are a few pointers to think of the value your communication plan and messages can add:
Clarify the need: Most often we lean towards a press release or a leadership message that conveys this news. However, it helps to identify the current state of business and map your messages in line with how your organization is perceived either in the city or the country where the new office is opening. Is the new office bringing your organization closer to clients? Does it allow employees to get closer to their families? Is it helping the organization build a brand? Is the office meant to increase your credibility and expertise with say, research and development?
Have a clear strategy: The office opening can mean different things to different stakeholders. Make your staff part of the conversation. Brief leaders on the business development and frame it in the context of the organization's expansion plans. Allow employees to have a say in small and large decisions. My recommendation is for a 4 pronged strategy – Tell, Sell, Involve and Co-Create. You will still need to inform stakeholders on your organization's intentions. It is also possible that you want them to focus on specific reasons for opening this new facility – lower costs, improved productivity, greater access to clients and business among others. Give them an opportunity to create or co-create standards and feel ownership of the new workplace. It can be simple policies or processes that you are replicating for this new office but can be tweaked given the nature of the location or the environment. Is it possible to have employees be part of the future plans?
Build a platform: Identify key leaders or employees who be the community owners on your intranet. Invite employees who have an interest in the new office or location to share their views and build connections. It can be possible that some staff want to relocate. It may also be a need for some to pick up jobs which open up with the new facility. This office may possibly be the start of something larger. For example, you may want to convert the office into a regional hub or can be adding more offerings for clients. It may be a center of excellence for solutions that your organization plans to implement. If you have that picture already in mind, share with your staff.
Start with the basics: Think of all the potential questions employees may have about the new office. In terms of infrastructure, the operations, their workplace, transport, cafeteria etc. Create a set of FAQs that can be hosted on your intranet for reference. Point them to key leaders who can provide more context. Invite employees to share stories, experiences and photographs of the new office.
Opportunity to spread the good news: Add this update to your social media vehicles and invite employees to spread the word among their families and friends. Use this news in your recruitment marketing channels. If there are unique aspects of the new office or location that is a draw among people then do surface it in your communication.

34 Weeks
Sunday, March 25, 2012
Oh my gosh! I am so terrible. I know. You can always tell how crazy my life is by how often I'm blogging. Anyway....here is the 34 week post!
I forgot to take a belly picture this week....BUT we took our maternity pictures with the awesome Tiffany Harrison on Monday, so I'm using one from that shoot as a replacement. (I hope she doesn't mind me using it!) She is so so so amazing and I can't wait to see the rest :). She actually took me out for two sessions since our first one was really windy. Love her. Check out her website if you live in Lubbock!
How Far Along: 34 Weeks. Only SIX more to go. Holy crap.
Baby Size: I'm going to guess that he's around 6 pounds by now, and getting fatter by the minute :).
Total Weight Gain: 28 pounds as of my last appointment.
Maternity Clothes? Yep.
Stretch Marks? Nope.
Sleep: I've been waking up a few times each night. My hips hurt sometimes, and every once in while I'll wake up lying on my back (Whoops!). I don't like to use all those pregancy pillows and wedges though--normally I just hitch my leg up on Bryan's back for support haha. Luckily he doesn't seem to mind :).
Best moment this week: Ah, so much has happened since my last update! I finally felt him have the hiccups on March 16th, and he's had them several times since then :). I loved my shower, getting maternity pictures, finding a wonderful doula to work with (!), getting the nursery more put together, and getting an awesome prenatal massage yesterday for FREE!
Miss Anything? No. Now I'm freaking out about missing pregnancy when he's out. Just trying to soak it up :).
Movement: Of course! Hiccups. So cute! And he LOVES to stretch his whole body out the second I lay down to nap. Not comfortable at all, but I'll take it :).
Food Cravings: I've really wanted sweets lately. I've been baking a lot to satisfy that haha.
Anything making you queasy or sick? No.
Gender: Sweet baby boy.
Labor Signs: No. Just Braxton Hicks. I'm kind of freaking out though that he could really come at any moment now. Our ultrasound tech told us that her little girl decided to come at 34 weeks. I was a little stunned because we are no where close to being ready!
Belly button in or out? The top is out? I don't know. It changes every day.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I have never been so happy in my life.
Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery, getting to see my mom and MIL this weekend, my showers this weekend, getting more prepared to actually have him (!), and of course....meeting him for the first time :).
Have a great week! Oh--my goal is to have the nursery pictures up either the first or second week of April! Yay yay yay!
Baby Roberts,

Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
Radric Davis (born February 2, 1980) better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American rapper and CEO of So Icey Entertainment.
In 2005, he released his independent debut album entitled Trap House, which featured the successful single "Icy" with Young Jeezy. However, disputes over the rights to this single eventually caused a riff between the two artists. Hard to Kill followed in 2006.
Gucci Mane was propelled to mainstream success with the release of Back to the Trap House in 2007, which sold 32,000 copies its first week. The album was fueled by the hit single "Freaky Gurl", which peaked at #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rap Tracks.

There are currently nine Kohll's Pharmacies located in Nebraska and Iowa that offer convenient and reliable service. Kohll's provides 24-7 service to its customers through Kohlls.com and KohllsHealthandBeauty.com. More than 225 employees provide this unmatched service. Kohll's only employs the best medical professionals. You are in good hands with our team of professional pharmacists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health therapists who provide daily patient care and expertise.
Founded in 1948: From the Kohll Family to Your Family (Our Story)
In 1948, Louis and Leona Kohll (pictured above) opened a small pharmacy in Omaha, Nebraska at Leavenworth Street and Park Avenue.
Unable to afford employees, the couple managed to keep the store open from early morning until late night seven days a week, depending on their teenage son, Marvin, to deliver prescriptions and run other errands.
The Kohll family soon earned the trust and confidence of Omaha physicians and their patients. Personal service and dedication to the health needs of Omaha and vicinity became the hallmark of the pharmacy.
Kohll's Pharmacy and Healthcare is a substantially larger and much different endeavor as it observes over 65 years of dedicated service to thousands of people.

One of Seattle Foundation's longest-standing programs, Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) supports grassroots efforts that increase engagement, power and influence of community members affected by poverty and racial disparities. N2N started in 1991 as a grant and technical assistance program and today is a key strategy of Seattle Foundation's Center for Community Partnerships. Serving community-based organizations in South Seattle, White Center and Kent, N2N plays a crucial role in supporting efforts led by grassroots community members in under-served communities.
The priorities for N2N are efforts that build leadership among community members to organize and lead positive change in their communities, including advocacy trainings, direct organizing, focus groups and other mobilization efforts.
N2N awards grants on a quarterly basis. The deadlines for submitting applications are January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. Given N2N's priority of supporting grassroots nonprofits, our team provides technical assistance to support community members in completing their applications, project planning, identifying a fiscal sponsor and potential partners, and connecting to other community resources.

Now that the new year is here, why not resolve to be a better relative by remembering family birthdays and anniversaries? Two features of Legacy Family Tree makes this easy to do:
•Legacy's birthday and anniversary reminders described here.
•Legacy's Calendar Creator.
Legacy can create a birthday calendar, an anniversary calendar, or a combination of the two. There are options to include a cover picture, picture pages above each calendar month, and complete control over color, layout, shadows, fonts, page size, and more. The calendars can be blank or include the birthdates and anniversaries of the people already entered in your family file.
That's right! Because the information (birthdays and anniversaries) is already in your Legacy family file, Legacy will automatically add this to the calendar pages. With the who to include options, you can customize the calendar so only certain family lines are included. You even have the option to skip the anniversaries of divorced couples.

Organization Mission
Lawyers Without Borders is an organization that manages volunteering lawyers from around the world who offer pro bono service to rule of law projects, capacity building and access to justice initiatives.
Our goal is to develop and provide legal support to Rule of Law projects and initiatives in the human rights and global capacity building sectors; this is achieved using lawyers serving pro bono whenever possible. This approach has proven to exponentially reduce costs to funders, in-country NGOs and legal communities in developing regions around the world.
In the global capacity building arena, our achievement in bringing together pro bono lawyers from large law firms, the private bar, in-house counsel and non-profit organizations from around the world represents an unprecedented accomplishment.
The success of the LWOB model is a testament to the value of an organization that is capable of harnessing financial and volunteer resources and engaging civil society in a globally oriented collaborative pro bono effort.
Area of Focus
Lawyers Without Borders is a not-for-profit 501c3 corporation whose mission is to protect the integrity of legal process, serve the underserved, and promote the culture of pro bono service in the legal profession- all with a neutral orientation. It fulfills its mission through
- Lawyer, Judge, Prosecutor and Law Enforcement trial advocacy training
- Cultivating lawyer skill sets to create effective human rights strategies in developing sectors
- Conducting neutral observation of trials, conflict scenarios and detention facilities
- Developing and delivering programming that builds capacity and technical assistance in developing regions and regions emerging from conflict or contemplating transition.
- Designing educational materials for a broad range of stakeholders, including community, NGOs, potential victims and justice sector actors
LWOB holds special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council Division (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, has associative status with the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) and is accredited to the Department at the UN on the question of Palestine. LWOB and its lawyers engage regularly with the United Nations. LWOB online volunteers through the United Nations Online Volunteering service have been recognized for four successive years for their contributions to human rights and development through their work with LWOB.
LWOB channels legal service and counsel through lawyers who work both virtually and in the field. It recruits and manages lawyers from around the world and from a wide variety of practice sectors in the legal profession.
LWOB's funding sources include support from a handful of international law firms with whom it maintains a close pro bono collaborative relationship, individuals' private donations and a variety foundation and government grants.
Our work falls into four programmatic categories:
- STTAT and TOT: Support Through Trial Advocacy Training (Themes: Criminal, Trafficking in Persons, Inheritance & Succession, Gender and/or Domestic Violence, Electoral Challenges/Electoral Violence, Corruption, Family and Juvenile and Train the Trainer training (not limited to trial advocacy).
- CORP: Community Out Reach Projects & Materials: (Themes: Electoral Rights, Participatory Democracy, Universal Human Rights, Criminal Justice, Corruption, Human Trafficking, Mediation, Negotiation and Consensus Building, Access to Justice)
- NICTO: Neutral Independent and Impartial Observation: Includes Court Trials (Typically closed or with limited access), Detention facilities/conditions, conflict/post conflict scenarios
- Technical Assistance and Capacity Building: (Electoral Roadmaps, Case Digests, Bench Books, as examples)
LWOB's goals are dual-purposed: To strengthen Rule of Law and grow the role of pro bono lawyers in Rule of Law programming--promoting a culture of pro bono that takes the best lawyers have to offer and making that available to those in the world whose needs are under served.

ACAD9 encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Additionally we are shipping Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Family, Member 9 Antibodies (30) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 2 out of 2 products:
Case Report: neonatal multiorgan failure due to ACAD9 mutation and complex I deficiency with mitochondrial hyperplasia in liver, cardiac myocytes, skeletal muscle, and renal tubules.
In cells where it is strongly expressed, ACAD9 plays a physiological role in fatty acid oxidation.
Our results underscore the importance of the ACAD9 protein in complex I assembly and suggest that the enzymatic activity is a rudiment of the duplication event.
Our data support a new function for ACAD9 in complex I function, making this gene an important new candidate for patients with complex I deficiency, which could be improved by riboflavin treatment.
ACAD9 screening of 120 additional complex I-defective index cases led us to identify two additional unrelated cases and a total of five pathogenic ACAD9 alleles.
Data show that two closely related metabolic enzymes, ACAD9 and VLCAD (show ACADVL Proteins), diverged at the root of the vertebrate lineage to function in two separate mitochondrial metabolic pathways and have clinical implications for the diagnosis of complex I deficiency.
Very high activity of CPT2 (show CPT2 Proteins) and VCLAD, involved in the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Fatty acid oxidation may play role in energy generation in placenta, and deficiency in may result in placental dysfunction and gestational complications.
ACAD9 may play a role in the turnover of lipid membrane unsaturated fatty acids that are essential for membrane integrity and structure
acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (show ACADM Proteins) 9 (ACAD 9)was identified as the long-chain ACAD in human embryonic and fetal brain and central nervous tissue, using in situ hybridization as well as enzymatic studies
We now report three cases of ACAD9 deficiency.
We conclude that disturbed mitochondrial bioenergetics in BAT (show BAAT Proteins) is a critical contributing factor for the cold sensitivity in VLCAD (show ACADVL Proteins) deficiency
This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Members of this family of proteins localize to the mitochondria and catalyze the rate-limiting step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA. The encoded protein is specifically active toward palmitoyl-CoA and long-chain unsaturated substrates. Mutations in this gene cause acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member type 9 deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Thanks to the innovative QuickClean extraction system, you can make up to 1.5 l of juice in one go without needing to empty the pulp container. The Philips HR1836/01 also allows you to use your own glass. Place it directly under the integrated tap and away you go. As its such a neat size, this juicer takes up little space and will easily store away easily or fit neatly on your worktop. A handy drip stop prevents juice from dripping on your worktop. Simply activate the drip stop with one simple move. A lot of pulp fibres usually get stuck in the sieve, which makes it very difficult to clean. Thanks to the electropolishing process, all surfaces of the sieve are smooth. This helps you to wipe away the fibres with a sponge or brush. The lid and the pulp container are transparent so you can see your fruits and vegetables being juiced. You also directly see when the container is full, which means it is time to empty it. For even easier and faster cleaning all removable parts can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher.

This maritime lesson keeps popping up in my life these days. It has profound echoes for much of my work: for dialogue, for spiritual direction, for our lifelong transformation from people of self-interest to people of God.
It also sheds light on world affairs, as today's readings for Morning Prayer indicated.
The lectionary—the fixed schedule of psalms and Bible passages to be read during the daily cycle of prayer in churches and monasteries—brought me to Psalm 83, a difficult psalm for us 21st-century folks. The psalmist asks God to wreak havoc on Israel's foes, and a picture emerges: that of Israel, a beleaguered nation, all alone in the world, surrounded by enemies that wish to obliterate it.
Sound familiar? Listen to the commentary from Israel and its friends in 2017, and you get the same picture.
The point of this post is not to assess the accuracy of this picture, or tout one side or the other, or analyze the endless complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Other people are far more qualified to do that. What strikes me today, instead, is simply this: the way that Israel perceives itself in 2017 is old. Very old. More than two millennia old.
Maybe that's one huge reason why Israel and the Arab world can't "just settle their differences"—why they just can't sit around a table and dialogue through the issues and come to a tidy resolution. This has been going on for century after century. It's a big ship. Maybe 50 years is nowhere near enough to turn it.
Our individual lives reflect this same dynamic. In my first meeting with a new client, I'll ask what brings them to spiritual direction, and they'll provide some sort of "presenting issue." At this point, I assume we'll work through the issue for a few months, maybe even a year, get it squared away, and then go deeper into this person's spiritual life.
Wrong. As it turns out, the presenting issue is not some tidy, compartmentalized quandary. Rather, it's rooted deeply in the entire infrastructure of that person's soul. We might spend the rest of our professional relationship coming back to it. It's a big ship.
What do we do with the big ships, in our lives and in our world? The obvious response is patience: as a monk in my monastery puts it, we must learn to "make haste slowly." That's especially relevant in our go-go culture, where intense speed and 24/7 availability and overcrammed schedules are touted as virtues.
But there's a hitch. Whenever things move slowly—particularly when I have some responsibility for helping them move—it's easy to wonder whether they're moving at all. Am I really helping, or are my actions making no difference? Is there a way to speed things up that I've missed? Should I devote myself to some more productive pursuit, with more tangible results?
Have you grappled with this too: times when life's difficulties don't resolve as fast as you'd like? Times when nothing you do seems to move the needle? How do you manage in that reality?
P.S. Just in case you're in the market for arcane knowledge, here's a fun read about big ships and, especially, how to avoid getting killed by one.
Rx for Your Trump Hangover
Note: this piece originally appeared in The Huffington Post on January 31. It's written primarily for my progressive friends, and the intent is not to bash Mr. Trump (though I do criticize him–in a measured way, I hope–where I think it's accurate and essential to the argument). Rather, it's become clear that many, many people are struggling to cope with their inner turmoil in the wake of the U.S. presidential election; after two months of my own struggling, I've found something like a way forward, so I'm sharing it in the hope that it'll help.
Ever since November 8, like so many other people, I've been wrestling with Trump hangover.
Perhaps you know the symptoms. Vague but persistent anxiety. Occasional nausea. An overwhelming sluggishness. The nagging sense that you should be "over this by now."
Being a spiritual writer, I took all of these symptoms, as well as their underlying cause, into prayer and contemplation, weighing a lot of input from various sources. Finally, the beginnings of a treatment regimen are starting to take shape, and I thought I'd share in case it helps.
First, the obvious but easily forgotten fact: Trump hangover is widespread, and you're not making a mountain out of a molehill. The evidence indicates that the transition to President Trump is a seismic shift in the way the president treats the presidency—a shift to less stable ground. If you're anxious, it's with good reason.
It doesn't help that Mr. Trump is a master at keeping his drama in the headlines—daily and sometimes continually. Between our always-on news culture and our relentless social media stream, we can't even begin to recover from the last headline when the next one comes.
If you've struggled to keep your head above water, it's because you're immersed in a tidal wave.
In my own inner work around Trump hangover, I've had to make some rigorous distinctions that, before, I could slide by without making. News vs. commentary. Substantial news vs. not really news. Policy developments vs. the white noise of our public square. All in the service of regaining my center, preserving my integrity, re-establishing my boundaries, so I can think and act from a place of deep stability.
What does this look like in practice? For me, it goes something like this:
- Diagnosing the root cause. It's important to see that, beyond the normal policy differences and Cabinet appointments that serve as fodder for disagreement, two peculiar traits underpin the Trump administration so far: an apparent absence of sustained thought, and a disregard for shared meaning. Words and phrases are used more for effect in the moment—and just as quickly forgotten—than to make policy arguments over time. We are asked to believe official pronouncements over what we apprehend with our eyes and ears. Compelling factual evidence is dismissed with simple denials. In a world where the way we learn things means nothing, we lose our footing. Which leads to the boundary-setting steps:
- News intake strategy 1: distinguishing fact from commentary from blather. For a while now, I have found it useful to focus my attention only on what the president does, not on what he says, or what others say about him. I'm also ignoring most commentary, as it simply inflames my anger without contributing anything of substance. (Two exceptions for me: David Brooks and Kathleen Parker.) For right now, just the facts, ma'am.
- News intake strategy 2: look-screen-decide. Whenever I see a Trump-related news item, I look at the headline, then screen it for whether it's (a) actual fact vs. commentary vs. blather, and (b) actual news about something of substance, vs., well, the opposite. If the topic is substantive, I read the article; if not, I ignore it with the mantra "not news, don't care." This keeps me away from such tempests-in-teapots as the controversy over crowd size at the inauguration. (A positive side effect: this look-screen-decide technique also helps me blithely ignore 90% of social media political posts.)
- Picking your spots. For years I have cared deeply about dialogue across divides, and I want to continue that work. Anyone with family and friends on the "other side" has an interest in doing the same. For me, nothing about that sort of dialogue has to change, except one thing: I'm no longer interested in talking about Mr. Trump specifically. You want to talk gun rights, immigration policy, deregulation of healthcare, I'm up for it. Defend Mr. Trump's behavior to me, and my mental health requires that I draw the line.
What does this give me? A sense of power, of agency, of proper boundaries set. It feels as though I've regained ownership of my own feelings and actions. I get to be an engaged citizen, but a healthy engaged citizen.
If early days are any indication, the news is going to be a tough emotional slog for the next four years. But maybe this will allow me to get through with my deepest self intact. May it do the same for you.
In Mr. Trump's Escher World, Is Dialogue Under Assault?
There's been a lot of talk in the dialogue field since the U.S. presidential election. Practitioners are talking about the meaning of Donald Trump's victory for dialogue efforts, our collective failure to listen to a wide swath of the American electorate, etc. Many have voiced the belief that we need dialogue more than ever.
And yet, ever since hearing this talk, something has felt off to me. I'm just starting to put my finger on it, and I'm surprised by how dire it feels. In a nutshell, if I'm seeing this right, the very underpinnings of dialogue are under assault.
Consider three of these underpinnings:
Words mean things. To state the obvious: dialogue depends on words. To understand each other, we have to agree on the meanings of those words, or at least understand each other's meanings. If we don't, how can I can begin to know what you're saying?
Yet this very notion is going away. All too often Mr. Trump appears to use the first word that comes into his mind, not caring what it might mean or connote. He makes great use of "throwaway lines," easy to deny or reinterpret later. Or he dismisses what he's said as "locker-room talk." It's as if, in this new era, words really don't mean anything, and we should dismiss the value of any given word or phrase. What kind of dialogue could possibly arise from that?
Believe your own eyes. There's a reason police officers are now being equipped with body cameras, or private investigators take photos of people in compromising positions. We believe what our eyes (and ears, nose, etc.) tell us. By and large, we should: they're pretty reliable. So we consider video and photographs compelling evidence.
Yet so often, when confronted with video of himself saying something, Mr. Trump says, "I never said that." How can there be any room for the give-and-take of dialogue once you get to "This evidence says you said x"/"I never said x"?
The truth will set you free. While objective truth is a slippery concept—and often not the primary aim of dialogue, which may tilt more toward mutual understanding, conflict resolution, etc.—a certain dedication to the pursuit of truth can promote dialogue in compelling ways. If we aim for truth, we move beyond ourselves in pursuit of something larger. We hold our convictions more lightly to inquire what this truth might be. As a result, we are more open to hearing others' perspectives on truth: the kind that come forth in dialogue.
It's one thing to say we cannot ever arrive at most truths. It's another to stop caring about truth entirely. Mr. Trump's behavior implies that he is not concerned with the accuracy of any statement he makes. I hear this same sort of thing from some of his supporters. If we can say anything without caring if it's true, what is our dialogue but babble?
Now weirdly, each of these corrosive trends has a healthy flipside. It's good to take the words of another "seriously but not literally": we do well to consider the context in which they're said, the background of the person who says or writes them, the surrounding culture that shapes the meanings of words, etc. Similarly, it's good to step back and consider that the "compelling video" might have a context of its own. (Plus, there's Photoshop.) And we know the value of skepticism about truth claims.
But here's the thing: in each of these healthy flipsides, there is one thing present that is absent from the current Trump-inspired manifestation: thought. Without thought, dialogue truly becomes babble.
I have no idea what to do with this. Perhaps we who care about dialogue will have to fight in some way for these underpinnings, to insist they be observed. Maybe we defend them at every point where we find them assailed. Maybe we simply do our own dialogue thing and thereby serve as a witness to its power in a world of degraded communication.
What do you think?
Is Dialogue Even Safe in the Trump Era?
As you may have gleaned from the last post, the state of the U.S. is troubling me on a deep level. It has, among other things, left me with no stomach for dialogue—a very strange position for the host of a website called The Dialogue Venture.
This made more sense to me in the immediate wake of the presidential election. A seismic shift like the election of Donald Trump takes some processing. But it's now December and I still don't want to talk.
I may, however, be starting to figure out why. And the reasons may bump into some of America's deepest divides like a dentist's drill on a raw nerve.
(Warning: some of what follows may induce eyerolling and the no shit, Sherlock response. I will completely understand. More than that, you may know from experience that I've got some important stuff in here totally wrong. If that's true, please tell me.)
Here's the thing: Reaching out to others in dialogue is a vulnerable act. Just saying "I want to dialogue with you" requires that we let our guard down. This is difficult enough when we do it from a position of strength—when the balance of power is at least equal (or tips to our side), when we feel safe and stable, when we perceive no threats on the horizon.
It's nearly impossible when those strengths are missing.
As I wrote in my last post, no one who feels disrespected—or invalidated, or invisible, or in any way marginalized—wants to talk with their disrespecters. More broadly, no one wants to talk when they sense a clear and present danger in their environment, when opening up to dialogue carries a high risk of yet another, deeper wound. Only the saintly or heroic can even think of reaching out when vulnerable.
Before November 8—as a white, suburban, straight, genderfluid person—I perceived myself as in a position of relative strength or stability. Yes, people could mock my gender identity, but they were usually strangers and their voices were few. The election of Donald Trump, with his chronic denigration of others, has changed that. Suddenly being different—or even welcoming difference—leaves one open to disrespect and, sometimes, much worse.
It feels like a dark place. And yet there is one fascinating glimmer of light. I wonder if my sense of vulnerability is a teeny-tiny glimpse into the world of so many who have been disrespected every day, all day long, for decades, even centuries.
This feels like what I've read about the experience of African Americans, and why many of them view white people's efforts to reach across divides with distrust and suspicion. This feels like what I've read as the reasons for separatist movements. This feels like what I know personally, from my experience as a genderfluid person, as frustration with having to explain, over and over again, who I am and why I am, when people who fit the cultural mold never have to explain. (To make things even more complicated, I know that sometimes it's really important that I do explain myself, as I wrote here.)
Now, looping back to what I wrote last week:
No one who feels disrespected wants to dialogue with their disrespecters—and we all feel disrespected.
This apparently includes supporters of Mr. Trump. We have all heard the narrative: for a sizable chunk of the U.S. population—many of them middle or working class, living in rural areas, scraping to get by—the impact of global trends has been brutal. Their wages have stagnated, at best, for decades. No one in power, according to this view, is listening to them.
So if they get approached by an affluent professor from a big city, saying, "I want to dialogue with you," why would they want to?
Now in fact some researchers—like Katherine Cramer from the University of Wisconsin—have made this work. That doesn't obviate the fact that, for many of us right now, curling into our own worldviews and living there awhile sounds pretty good.
I don't know what to do with all this. One imperative seems clear: if people don't want to dialogue right now, we need to respect the living hell out of that. They have some very good reasons. Maybe the only thing we can do now is one-half the hard work of dialogue: shut up and listen.
Are These Dark Times for Dialogue?
Right after the U.S. presidential election, the dialogue field seemed to launch itself into activity. A November 14 post on the blog of the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation proclaimed that "dialogue & deliberation is more critical than ever" and invited professionals to share their post-election activities. Based on the 34 responses in the Comments field—a huge number for most blogs these days—there's a lot going on.
I'm sure some of this activity, even most of it, will prove fruitful in some way. Yet I cannot shake the gut feeling that we, as a field, are missing a very, very big point.
Specifically, I wonder if our prospects for authentic dialogue—at least on the national, global, policy, big-issue levels—have turned very dark indeed. I wonder whether the obstacles to further dialogue have become insurmountable, at least in the short term.
Here's why I'm wondering this:
- It's unclear to me that Trump supporters want to dialogue at all. Several disparate observations lead me to this.
- Over several months, on my own social media feed, I put out several calls for Trump supporters to share the thinking behind their support. I received thoughtful, in-depth answers from precisely two people. Everyone else, even when approached directly, gave me evasions at best.
- Separate from this effort, I've noticed that social media comments and posts from Trump supporters are nearly free of original content. (Before you think I'm jumping to the conclusion that Trump supporters are stupid, see point 2 below.)
- In mainstream media, buckets of ink have been spilled reporting (and in some cases publishing research) on why Mr. Trump has attracted so much enthusiasm. There are many reasons why "the media" may have missed the whys and wherefores of this support. But could one of them be that many Trump supporters simply do not want to talk about it?
- In NCDD (where I just finished two terms as a board member), we have long bemoaned the dearth of conservative voices among our membership. Some have pondered whether dialogue is a "liberal thing." At the recent biannual conference, I don't recall talking with anyone who supported Mr. Trump.
- No one who feels disrespected wants to dialogue with their disrespecters—and we all feel disrespected. I've noticed this within myself since November 8: amid all the talk of "reaching out to Trump supporters" to try understanding them, I want someone to reach out to me. Do Trump supporters feel the same way? Have they felt the same way for a long time? A corollary of this is "explanation fatigue": people in marginalized groups often find themselves having to explain who they are and why they are, so putting the onus on them to explain themselves again in dialogue just adds to their sense of otherness and disrespect.
- The fissures are so much deeper, and more ancient, than we thought. I've been reading an in-depth history of the U.S. between 1788 and 1800, when factions and partisanship first became part of the political landscape. Some aspects of that history are so very familiar: a divide between city and country (link to brilliant and profane article on this topic here), between centralized government and small government advocates, between slave owners and abolitionists. I have no doubt that you could trace these divides much further back as well. Yes, the rise of Mr. Trump may be about immigration or economic opportunity in 2016—and these issues are important—but they do not begin to explain the divides of centuries. I don't see our current attempts at dialogue even beginning to address this.
- In a post-truth society, we have nothing to dialogue with. The very nature of dialogue implies a search for truth of some kind: the truth of the other person's experience, at least, if not some kind of transpersonal truth (e.g., gravity exists, slavery is universally wrong). We dialogue because there are truths we don't know, either about the other or about the world. Mr. Trump's campaign seems to have ushered in an era where one can say anything, claim anything, without regard for the accuracy or truth value of that statement. What then forms the content of our conversation? It can be anything, it can go anywhere, without regard for reality. This is not dialogue. It is not even conversation.
I dearly hope someone will read this and explain precisely why I'm wrong. I would love to think that dialogue efforts can proceed as they did before November 8—the same tools, the same techniques, the same spirit and attitude—just accelerated. But I don't see it. What do you see?
Why I'm Not Inclined to Dialogue Right Now
Last week in this space, we discussed "a time for dialogue and a time to shut up." In line with my contemplative nature, I've opted for the latter recently, sitting in silent prayer with the wreckage of the U.S. presidential election and seeing what bubbles to the surface.
What has bubbled to the surface is impatience.
I've had no use for rehashing the results or joining in the collective fury of many people on the left. I have turned my attention away from analysis, predictions, commentary, and punditry of all types. Weirdest of all, my colleagues are mobilizing for dialogue efforts, and I just can't join them.
What I do want—what in fact I'm craving—are facts.
I have little interest in what Mr. Trump says at this point, but I want to know what he does. Right now, it's all about who he appoints to his administration: their qualifications, their temperament. On January 21, it'll be about the policies he pushes, the executive orders he signs, the treaties he abrogates (or doesn't). Don't tell me what it means; don't tell me what you think about it; just give me the facts.
The other day, I realized that my hunger for "just the facts" is part of something bigger. It's a craving for truth—or at the very least, an unblinking pursuit of truth.
I'm craving truth because I've barely heard any for more than a year now. Mr. Trump has built a history of chronic, continual lying. Secretary Clinton is hardly simon-pure herself. Social media is littered with memes and news stories with next to no truth value. Each side is armed with its own "facts," to which it clings regardless of evidence to the contrary.
But here's the thing: dialogue's value is greatly diminished if we don't care about truth.
Yes, we can still dialogue to understand one another, to glimpse another's pain and struggles up close, to foster empathy. That's still terribly important. But if the point is to work together on society's problems—what professionals call deliberation—forget it. You can't agree on what to do if you don't agree on what's happening.
Some people might raise objections at this point. No one can uncover absolute truth (if it even exists). My truth is different from your truth. What's more important is common understanding. Etc. There's merit in these points, to be sure.
But to dismiss the pursuit of truth entirely is wrongheaded. Consider: Gravity exists. Slavery is wrong. Smoking causes cancer. There was a point at which all of these points were not regarded as truth. Now they are. Over the eons, we have learned things about the cosmos, and we assert those things as true, because we have inquired into the truth of the matter.
This pursuit of truth energizes dialogue. Here's what I wrote in my book:
The whole point of raising [the commitment to truth in a book on dialogue] is its power to bring us together. When we are passionate about truth—not truth as we see it, but truth in itself—we eagerly seek out anyone whose perspective might shed light on that truth. That draws us into an exploration of diverse ideas with other people. In other words, truth seeking as a habit of the heart draws us straight into dialogue.
So for now, for me, facts first. Pursuit of truth first. There'll be plenty of time for the essential work of dialogue—later.
A Time for Dialogue, a Time to Shut Up
You may find the title of this post somewhat odd, especially for a blog about dialogue. But the aftermath of the U.S. election has brought up some things for me, and they have to do with silence.
Silence looms large for me. For years I've been practicing contemplative prayer, in which we sit silently before God, opening our hearts wide to the susurrations of the Spirit. This practice has changed my life in all kinds of difficult and wonderful ways.
Not surprisingly, then, silence has been my go-to place since November 9, when the wreckage of this savage, unending campaign became all too apparent.* I was not ready to take up the facile calls for "healing" and "reconciliation" that pop up at the end of every campaign. To me, this earth-shaking event required serious reflection. So I opted for a season of silence and introspection—or, as I wrote on Facebook, "just sitting before God with the damage we have wrought."
One side effect of silence is that you start to notice things. In the past week, two things have come to mind.
For one, I've been dumbstruck by how, as a collective culture, we never shut up. Not ever. Right on the heels of the election came a torrent of words: angry rejoinders, petitions, redoubled commitments to causes, new strategies for dialogue as a response to the election, and yes, the usual calls for unity. All of them facilitated by the relentless 24/7ness of social media.
None of these are bad things in themselves. Quite the opposite, in fact. They're the very stuff of our life together, and certainly of a robust democracy. But in that maelstrom, the value of silence easily gets lost.
So does the value of the other thing that's come to mind: simply living with the "negative" for a while. Many commentators would like to speed past the rage, fear, and dread to get to new plans and initiatives and countermeasures for a brighter future. Again, Lord knows, we need plans and initiatives and countermeasures. At some point.
But when we sit with the "negative," I think, we tap into a deeper place from which our actions became more heartfelt, more authentic, and maybe more fruitful.
For example: In my reflections over the past eight days, my horror has moved to lamentation—which connects me deeply to the prophets of the Hebrew scriptures. Large swaths of their writings are consumed with bewailing the utter ruin of their beloved Jerusalem in 587/586 B.C.E. Some of the psalms written in this period paint a terrifying picture of loss, despair, and rage.
We postmoderns don't like this sort of thing. We want to get right to the good stuff. But the prophets teach us that dwelling with suffering connects us deeply to life as it is, and to others who suffer (which is all of us). When billions of our human compadres suffer daily, don't we do well to get (as the prophet Isaiah writes) "acquainted with grief"? What deep wells of compassion and empathy for others might be tapped when we live with suffering ourselves?
Maybe this difficult silence is only for me. Maybe we really need millions of hands on deck, right now, to start changing things for the better, fend off the tide of racism, etc. But maybe we need some of this silence too. I know I do. What about you?
*Full disclosure: I have been truly interested in seeking dialogue with Trump supporters, and I still am: their sense of feeling left behind, to name one thing, has been massively underheard over the past 20 years. At the same time, I see the election of Mr. Trump as a travesty, and since understanding that view is essential to understanding this post, I'm admitting it here.
Care Like a Citizen, Think Like a Journalist (Part 1)
Political lies used to imply that there was a truth…. Evidence, consistency and scholarship had political power. Today a growing number of politicians and pundits simply no longer care. They are content with what Stephen Colbert, an American comedian, calls "truthiness": ideas which "feel right" or "should be true."
—"The Post-Truth World: Yes, I'd Lie to You," The Economist, September 10, 2016, p. 18 (emphasis mine)
My social medium of choice, Facebook, has been a disturbing place of late—even more than usual. A particular meme formula is appearing more frequently as we get closer to the U.S. presidential election. It goes like this:
- Photo of something outrageous (especially if it casts the candidate you don't like in a negative light)
- Headline so outlandish it's guaranteed to get attention
- Name of the source
People share these things in a blink. They're so juicy that you can barely resist clicking through. If you stop to read the source line, though, you might detect a fly in the ointment: it usually reads something like (and these examples are made up) downwithfilthycapitalists.org or freedomfrommuslims.edu. Many of these sources excel in making up news, distorting it to their own ends, or at least disseminating stories without any regard for their truth value.
In the post-truth culture described by The Economist, where we don't care about the facts, that makes perfect sense. But it presents a massive problem: there is no way—no way whatever—that we can run a society on that basis.
So we need to care like citizens and think like journalists.
The caring-like-citizens part is fairly straightforward. We realize that without a consensus on the facts behind an issue—or at least the orientation to care about the facts—we cannot begin to dialogue about the wicked societal problems that are far too big for one person, or one interest group, to overcome. Caring about an issue and the truth associated with it, then, becomes an act of good citizenship.
Now, thinking like journalists. Good journalists take nothing for granted. They check and double-check their sources—on everything. As the old saw goes, "If your mother says she loves you, verify it."
Time was when good journalists, and the reputable media that employed them, were plentiful enough to ferret out truth from nonsense for us in many cases. That's not as true anymore, thanks to budget cuts, failing newspapers, etc. So now we have to be our own journalists, or at least our own fact checkers.
How? There are at least three ways we can do it, and I'll describe them in the next post. For now I'll leave you with one thought: when I say "we need to care like citizens and think like journalists," I mean everyone. Me. You. Your neighbor down the street. We need all hands on deck to work through our thorniest problems, which means that collectively we must put the post-truth trend behind us. As Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."
Donald vs. Facts: Make America Great Again
What does it mean to make America great again?
As much as anything else in Donald Trump's campaign, his supporters seem to glom onto this one big idea, or parts thereof. So it's worth looking at. And if you look at it hard enough, you realize each word raises questions, such as:
Which vision of America are we talking about? Listening to Trump supporters, I think many of them are focusing on the America that, once upon a time, held out the promise of a secure, prosperous life. As the story goes, you could get out of high school, get a job at the plant, work there for 40 years, and save enough to provide a great life for your family—a nuclear family, in a neighborhood, where everyone knew everyone else and lent a hand in times of need. That's a compelling story. No wonder people want to get it back again.
But there are other Americas. There's the America in which success came only to white people of European origin. There's the America whose interventions in global affairs have wreaked havoc as much as they've borne fruit. There's also the America I cherish: the America of vast natural beauty, a bedrock belief in liberty, and the inspiring (if sometimes annoying) can-do spirit. Which are we talking about?
Great? Again?
What on earth do we mean by great? Look again at the visions of America described above (and add your own). Which were great? Was there ever a time when America was nothing but great (as the slogan seems to imply)?
Meanwhile, the word again implies that America was great at one time; which era would that have been? Would it be the America of the 1950s: a massive engine of economic opportunity and systemic racism? Do we mean the America of the 1940s, with its spirit of self-sacrifice and horrifying (though necessary) world war? What about the 1920s, with its sunny optimism and Prohibition?
Of all the words in this slogan, I see this one as the most seductive—and the most dangerous. Make implies that we can return to a great America (however the hell you're defining it) simply by force of will. That ignores the global, impersonal mega-forces that have changed the world beyond recognition: the massive flight to cities, which changes social norms; the yawning gap between the skills of many U.S. workers and the skills demanded by the fast-changing marketplace; the constant drive for businesses to streamline workforces and cut costs; the continuing impact of automation and the rise of artificial intelligence, which eliminates jobs; etc. Etc.
Notice something about this. None of these trends is anyone's fault. All of these trends are far beyond the ability of one person, or group, or even nation to change. Seen in this light, make looks like a mirage.
As a siren song, make America great again is compelling: many Americans have lost a lot amid the world's changes. But as a prescription for action, it sputters. I would rather we seek a way forward in the world as it is than try—and fail—to return to what was.
Donald vs. Facts: Undocumented Mexican Criminals
Last week we started evaluating Donald Trump's stated positions in light of facts and sober analysis (at least the best I could find). As it turns out, his immigration policy is way too big for one post, so for the time being, let's look at one of its cornerstones: building a wall on the Mexican border—in part to stop all those dangerous Mexican criminals from entering the U.S.
(Warning: there is math involved, and math is not my strong suit. If it's yours, and you spot a flaw in my calculations below, please speak up.)
Trump's statement claims that "for many years, Mexico's leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country." He supports his claim with this statement:
In 2011, the Government Accountability Office found that there were a shocking 3 million arrests attached to the incarcerated alien population, including tens of thousands of violent beatings, rapes and murders.
The Math
For starters, the figure is wrong. The GAO study estimates 1.7 million arrests for 2.9 million offenses (apparently you can be arrested for multiple offenses at the same time, a fact I have no intention of verifying firsthand). It also attributes these offenses to 249,000 alleged offenders—or, as the GAO calls them, "criminal aliens"—for an average of about 7 arrests per offender.
Sounds like a bad lot, and it probably is. But wait. The "incarcerated alien population" doesn't include just Mexicans. Neither does it say anything about the behavior of undocumented Mexican immigrants in general. We need more "facts and sober analysis."
As it turns out, data on Mexican criminal aliens are hard to come by, but we can make some educated guesses. Start by assuming, just for the moment, that all 249,000 alleged offenders in the above paragraph are undocumented Mexicans. The Pew Research Center estimates that 6.2 million undocumented Mexicans lived in the U.S. during 2011. That would put the number of all "criminal aliens" at 4% of all undocumented Mexicans in the U.S. If Mexicans make up half of all undocumented immigrants, and we apply that to our percentage, we're down to 2%.
By comparison the total number of U.S. residents arrested in 2011, according to the FBI, was about 9.5 million—or 1% of the U.S. population. Not exactly a significant difference.
The Lessons We Might Draw from This
Everyone would agree that keeping criminals from other countries out of the U.S. is a good thing. But in terms of crime, at least, Trump's solution sounds like massive overkill.
More troubling is this: Trump hangs essentially his whole case on this statistic—and it clearly doesn't say what he says it does. Worse, the fallacy of his "shocking 3 million" claim, together with his wild profusion of other claims, lend weight to the charge that Trump just makes it up as he goes along, pulling statistics out of the air, without heed for accuracy.
Yes, I know. Candidates have used isolated statistics to prove dubious points since…well, probably since there have been candidates and statistics. But Trump has raised this game to another level, apparently citing random statistics as support for extreme, even dangerous, positions. That means he deserves special scrutiny.
Put another way, we have to find out to what extent the emperor has no clothes. Do all his positions rest on erroneous or obsolete facts? We'll see.

Hi everyone im new to the forums here!! Just bought my 07 blue pearl WRX a few weeks ago!! I love it so far....Im anxious to hear what people have to say about your question. I feel like im having a similar issue. It seems to shake at an idle as you were saying. I am running stage 1 91 octane and that is my only mod. It was doing it a little even before the AP. I took it to the dealer before I flashed stage 1 and they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I think im hearing a ticking sound as well but the dealer said it was my injectors??
The gap in your plugs shouldn't change just because they are a different type. I believe the safe zone is .38 to .42 with our cars. Those "pregapped" plugs are usually all different. I've pulled one plug out of the box that was gapped correctly. I'd check the gaps if I were you.
And thanks for reminding me, I looked up the gapping to double check for you, and I gapped mine all at .34 when I finished my rebuild. I'm sure that's not helping anything. |

Abstract The inverse of the dispersion matrix plays an important role in mixed model analysis. Searle and Henderson [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc, 74 (1979) 465] showed that for a general balanced mixed ANOVA model, such an inverse can be expression in the same form as the dispersion matrix, i.e., a linear combination of Kronecker products. However, the coefficients of such a linear combination are given in a way that it is not easy to see what each coefficient is. In this paper, we give explicit expressions for these coefficients. An application of the result is considered.

But no worries. I'm fine as it is, but only wanted to get the max out of it. I was under the impression that a substantial part of the volts driving the output tubes was related to the lower frequencies. So compressing the signal on the lower end would give me the opportunity to elevate. Now I understand that, if at all, this would only give a marginal effect.

Perry, I think you'll find that without crossing high enough to require stereo woofers (i.e. not "subs"), the FE126 won't deliver its best in a BR. It's of course hard to be impartial about designs for this driver the evolution of which I've attended over the course of the past 5 yrs or so, but several of note would be the FrugalHorn3 and Woden Valiant. The former is quite compact and can certainly be built with WAF, while the latter is more physically imposing, and IMO an overall better performer.
In any case, if the TSE can support 2A3, I'd heartily recommend trying them with the FE126. Current production EH Gold Grids are a fairly reasonable price for this type. best of luck

Learn how to teach SH to your child and then practice this skill at the syllable level. Your child will learn how to say SH correctly in the beginning, medial, and end of syllables. If you are just starting your home practice for SH, this is a very important first step.
I like to use a mirror during the initial teaching phase. This technique works well for most children. If your child is distracted by it, remove it. You can follow each step simply by looking at each other.
How to Teach:
1. Sit down at a table with your child. Get out a portable mirror. If you don't have one, use any mirror you can find in the house.
2. Tell your child to say "shhhhhh" while placing a finger in front their mouth as if to tell someone to be quiet. If this works (sometimes it does), you are done! It might not be that easy though.
3. You may need to tell your child to round their lips like an ''O" (this is where the mirror comes in handy) or make a kissing face!
4. With the lips rounded, tell your child to close teeth slightly and say SH. This should work! However, if it doesn't, keep reading.
5. With lips rounded and teeth almost closed, make sure the jaw is up and centered. Then place a finger behind the chin and press up slightly. This will encourage your child to lift their tongue up to the roof of the mouth. With this position, have your child say SH.
6. One last way to teach your child to say SH! Tell your child to say S and then slowly round lips until you hear an SH.
7. Once you get a successful SH, practice saying the word "shoe." This is the easiest sound combination to start with.
8. Now, you are ready to practice SH in syllables! Move through the list below while playing around with which cues work best for your child.
Work on syllables for a few minutes a few times a day or until your child learns how to say them correctly. Aim for about 80%
Don't forget to fill out the syllable chart above so you can remember what you tried and how it went!
When your child is saying SH right most of the time in syllables, about 80%, quickly move on to the word level!

Rest in Peace, Daisy May.
It's hard to explain where you've been when you've been gone for so long.
We lost our sweet girl Daisy in November. Just a few days before Thanksgiving.
Needless to say, I didn't feel very celebratory for the whole holiday season. I mostly sat it out. I got sick around Christmas. The season was a bust. Daisy was 13 1/2. She was like our child. A family member. Very loved and cherished. I'm SO glad we spent the summer just hanging out with her. We bought her a pool after I saw a lady with a disabled dog use it for therapy.
We put it up and she didn't stay out of the pool from June-September. She swam every day. Always clockwise. Never counterclockwise. It was hilarious. This is my nephew Emerson pretending to drown my husband Brad. Why this is funny? Daisy didn't care what was going on! She'd only growl when they got in the way of her laps.
She was old and had arthritis and joint pain (sidebar: Cosequin works like MAGIC for that in older dogs. After a month on it, she was running again.) and the pool was good for her. She lost a few pounds after a summer of swimming!
"You're in my way, Dad!"
It's hard to look at these photos without feeling incredibly sad. I can't believe she's no longer here although obviously..she hasn't been here since November. I take solace in the fact that she had a very good life and was healthy until the last few months. I'm also SO glad I stayed off of the computer for the summer and LIVED life with her. She had lots of walks, swimming and she loved smelling flowers in the yard.
This was her favorite spot to hang out. I truly believe she thought "I could watch my Dad work ALL day!" That's where her pool was in the back (large, round, dead-of-grass area). We took it down because she had a bad rash that would not go away (not due to the swimming pool but an autoimmune disorder that she had.) Look at those cute spots!
She had the softest fur. My best friend said she looked like she should be in a shampoo commercial. AGREED! I loved to kiss her head and it always smelled faintly of fruit. How is that possible?
Going out on the flower walk with her sidekick, Curtis. This is sweet because as she aged, he became her eyes and ears.
Making the rounds. She's buried back here as it was her favorite spot. Peonies and sedum bloom here and we'll add some daisies and other plants here soon.
Regardless of how warm it was, she was chilly after her swimming. We'd dry her off and get her cozy and she'd spend a few hours napping.
He misses his sister, but is well overall. The saddest part (and there were many that were devastating) was when we buried her in the backyard (with her favorite toys, blanket and some gifts from Emerson, our nephew and the only child she ever loved.) and Curtis tried digging and then sat there crying. It was heartbreaking.
So...this is where I've been. I don't want to be a bummer, but I want to honor her life. She was here. She mattered. She is still loved. And she's so very missed.
She also always believed she was a "fall" as far as colors!
She loved:
Carob cookies (dog kind. Found at Petco)
Vanilla sandwich cookies (dog kind.)
Adhering to schedules
She HATED:
Commercials with doorbells (she'd freak out)
Most people. It seemed everyone was a stranger to her!
The word "Oof"
Rest in Peace and Love, Sweet Girl.

What a sweet girl! All dogs are special, but every now and then you get lucky and find your "soul mate" dog. Her life was great because you made it so!
Glad to see you blogging again! - April 11, 2014 at 2:53 PM

Sweet Daisy. I am thinking to myself that she would have liked me, even though she was so very particular about her humans. I can still hear the pain in your words. You were just where you should have been last year...with Daisy and Curtis and Em and Brad. I will always think of her swimming her laps. xoxo

Thanks Ladies!
It felt cathartic to write as well as terribly sad. I met her when she was already 6, so I feel like I didn't have enough time with her!
TOT- she was picky. But GOOD picky. She would have liked you! I just know it. xx - April 12, 2014 at 3:47 PM

I always love your pictures of Daisy. She was a very lucky pup to have you and Brad and sweet Curtis as her family. And her boy Emerson. The single thing I don't like about dogs--how fleeting the time we have them in our lives.
Thinking about you xxoo - April 12, 2014 at 7:24 PM

What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication
RSS allows you to syndicate your site content
RSS defines an easy way to share and view headlines and content
RSS files can be automatically updated
RSS allows personalized views for different sites
RSS is written in XML
Why use RSS?
RSS was designed to show selected data.
Without RSS, users will have to check your site daily for new updates. This may be too time-consuming for many users. With an RSS feed (RSS is often called a News feed or RSS feed) they can check your site faster using an RSS aggregator (a site or program that gathers and sorts out RSS feeds).
Since RSS data is small and fast-loading, it can easily be used with services like cell phones or PDA's.
Web-rings with similar information can easily share data on their web sites to make them better and more useful.
How RSS Works?
RSS is used to share content between websites.
With RSS, you register your content with companies called aggregators.This is So, to be a part of it: First, create an RSS document and save it with an .xml extension. Then, upload the file to your website. Next, register with an RSS aggregator. Each day the aggregator searches the registered websites for RSS documents, verifies the link, and displays information about the feed so clients can link to documents that interests them.
What tools do I need to use RSS?
To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Several Web-based news readers are available as well.
Free Reader
Once you have set up your news reader, you simply subscribe to the RSS content feeds you want.
