Herndon — The Herndon Town Council voted four to three Tuesday, Feb. 28 to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment that allows for redevelopment of the area north of the proposed Herndon-Monroe Metro station. The Council had been considering the plan for months, through various changes and approval from the town's Planning Commission.
The plan calls for a Herndon Transit Oriented Core (HTOC) that will contain mixed-use development, class A office space and increased density that the town hopes will allow an increase in tax base and eventual return on investment.
Vice Mayor Lisa Merkel said while she would like to see further work done on accessibility to the station, she feels the plan accomplishes what it was originally sent to the Planning Commission in 2009 to do.
"We asked to develop a plan for the Metro Station Area that would encourage the redevelopment of existing commercial properties, include a residential component, increase Herndon's tax base, provide an economic return on investment to the town and make the development an attractive gateway to the town," she said. "I feel like this plan really accomplishes those goals."
Councilmember Jasbinder Singh, who along with Mayor Steve DeBenedittis and Councilmember Connie Hutchinson voted against the motion, called the plan a "singular opportunity" for the town, but the proposed plan raised too many questions.
"Right now the density proposed is greater than the core of Reston Town Center," he said. "I don't think I believe only this level of density is financially feasible… it's one thing if it's done for some people to promote density before 2017-2018 timetable. But now we have these densities, but we don't know when it will be redeveloped, maybe by 2035. By that time, the financial information upon which it is based will not be valid."
Singh also cited the fact that plans are currently being drawn up for Phase One, which is supposed to open next year. He said he felt that the town may be rushing into things.
Councilmember Sheila Olem said she liked that the plan was densest around the actual station.
"Density around Metro is where you want it, so you have that new transportation available with the Metro and bus systems, and you can take advantage of it," she said. "We are working with the county, because bus routes are something, that if we're going to make this work, we're going to have to coordinate with the county. We know we can't afford our own system, so we'll work close with them because they already do the connector buses. We've got a huge community that's going to need access to those buses."
Councilmember Grace Wolf said passing the plan was essential for Herndon to "signal our willingness to redevelop" to attract businesses and residents along the Silver Line.
"We would like to see it done soon, we would like to see it done well and we would like to see it reflect the cultural uniqueness of our town," she said. "We need to be cognizant that we're not developing our station in a vacuum …we have to compete with all these stations up and down the Silver Line."
Wolf also said she had heard the many concerns about traffic in particular, but was confident that the town wouldn't turn into gridlock.
"I think most concerns were about are we adding urban congestion," she said. "But I think this plan allows us to accommodate traffic, and it looks at the worst-case scenario."
Councilmember Bill Tirrell stressed that this plan was the first in many steps that would bring about redevelopment.
"We're not discussing a generalized development plan or site plan, which have much more detailed parameters. That's for another day. We don't event have the zoning ordinance," he said. "We know what we want, we want access, and an attractive place and to get those needs we need to offer density, that's the one thing we do have control over."

Retriever training for hunting, hunt tests and field trials.
Tip #2: Make sure your dog knows what you are asking him to do.
This tip will blend into the next several tips regarding communication.
Many trainers assume their dog knows a command and should therefore respond accordingly. But there can be other factors that are getting in the way.
In previous articles I have discussed sending mixed messages to your dog, such as trying to sound upbeat when your body language clearly shows anger. When you do this your dog has to try to decipher what you are actually trying to say and they can get confused by the mixed messages.
Dogs are place orientated. This means that just because she understands a command in the house doesn't mean she understands it outside. Another example, just because he knows SIT when he is next to you, doesn't mean he understands SIT when he is 100 yards away from you. This is where training is vital to make sure you dog truly knows what you want her to do.
As your dog's trainer, it is your job to teach each command and make sure that they understand exactly what you mean and what is expected. Be careful not to sending mixed messages which can hamper the communication and learning.
Continually ask yourself, "Does my dog know exactly what I want him to do?" This will help you be more aware of them, as well as simplify and expedite your training.
Next week I will continue with another tip for ultimate retriever training, till then happy retrieving.
*Offer good on any program 3 months in length or longer. Live ducks, pheasants and pigeons will be included in your monthly training costs instead of billed separately. Birds usually run anywhere from $150-$200 per month.

This is the second of two personal bulletins from Jerusalem from PASCA member Diane Blitzer.I am here to assist my daughter, Sara, and her brand-new fiance, Yehuda Leib, plan their wedding. When I left Portland, I thought it would be a Jerusalem wedding. When I arrived 3 weeks later, I learned it would be a Portland wedding. So Sara and I will be back in Portland soon.
Material below that is underlined is specific to PASCA.
There is an expression in Hebrew, "Gam zu l'tovah," which translates "This, too, is for the good."
People here say "Gam zu l'tovah" when in other cultures people might say, "This, too, will pass;" or "Every cloud has a silver lining, " or "Heaven works in mysterious ways."
Now that you understand "Gam zu l'tovah," I am going to tell you a funny story and then about gam zu l'tovah as I am experiencing it.
Back many centuries when the Greeks had Jerusalem under seige, a Jewish heroine named Yehudit (whence the American name "Judy") invited the Greek commander, Holofarnes, to her place 'for a good time'. He accepted, and Yehudit served Holofarnes some potent wine. When Holofarnes dropped into a drunken stupor, Yehudit cut off his head. Yehudit stuck the head of Holofarnes on a pole in a public place and this so impressed the Greek army with the fierceness of Jewish resistance that the siege was broken.
The other kid answered that, "No, it didn't cry; the head said, 'Gam zu l'tovah!' "
The good news is, Sara and I are both happy and excited.
The bad news is, Sara is ill.
The good news is, we visited a clinic and the doctor thinks it's a treatable bacterial infection.
The bad news is, we're still waiting to get clearance for lab tests.
The good news is, once we have the lab results, Sara can get treatment.
The bad news is, all this scurrying around to clinics and insurance companes interferes with wedding planning and enjoying daily life here.
The good news is, sooner or later Sara will recover.
The good news is, we have identified several Portland venues that are available on Sara's target date for her wedding (31 March).
The bad news is, we can't tell until we visit them whether they are big enough for 200 dancing guests.
The good news is, I will get back to Portland soon to firm up our plans.
The bad news is, I have to re-finance my plane tickets.
The good news is, we ain't broke yet.
The good news is, I got the laundry done yesterday.
The bad news is, given the weak dollar and strong shekel, using a washer here costs as much as dry cleaning in the US.
The good news is, we have a laundry line on the roof, so I saved the additional charge for drying.
The bad news is, while I was on the roof hanging clothes, someone walked into our house and stole my wallet and my rental phone.
The good news is, I had insurance on the phone, and the thief didn't take my credit cards or passport.
The bad news is, the phone insurance has a deductible larger than the value of the phone and I needed a bunch of cash last night to conduct urgent business with a lawyer.
The good news is, I got a replacement phone (same number) and the lawyer was extremely pleasant and ATMs are still working and we ain't broke yet.
The bad-and-good news is that everyone here is as shocked as we are that we were robbed.
The good news is, the doctor said Sara can eat plain rice.
The bad news is, we had no kosher pot to cook in.
The good news is, I found a nice cooking pot for Sara.
The bad news is, I had to walk across town to teuvel it(teuvel = special treatment to make a pot kosher).
The good news is, I found the teuvel mikveh on only the fourth try and second inquiry; and Sara learned to cook rice.
The additional good news is that if Yehuda Leib gets nothing else to eat, he can be sure to get coffee, noodles, poached eggs, and rice.
Among our favorite familes are the Oppenheimers, of New York, New Jersey, Jerusalem and other places. A whole bunch of Oppenheimers happened to be together in Jerusalem and Sara and I dropped in on them. We wished not to interrupt, but were welcomed into their midst with swelling choruses of 6-part harmony and good things to eat. One of the more magnificent evenings of my life to date.
Next morning, we joined the Oppenheimers on a "V.I.P. tour" of Yad Vashem, the building housing Israel's enormous collection of documents and objects from the Second World War. Yad Vashem is sometimes called a "Holocaust museum," but we are on notice from our "V.I.P. " guide that "Holocaust" is not a preferred term, and "museum" is too suggestive that the Nazi regime achieved its goal of making our culture a residual artifact.
I have been to Yad Vashem twice before, each time for 3 hours, and have never seen the whole collection.
I think every head of state should be obligated to visit Yad Vashem and gauge the effect of unbridled power.
Sara and I had a lovely Sabbath at a yishuv - a small community (350 households) in the wilderness east of Jerusalem.
- not to be confused with what the press calls "settlements" in areas where Arabs are restless and dissatisfied.
The family we stayed with has 10 children. Those not away at school are the youngest: 6 boys with red hair between the ages of 18-months and 11 years. The energy level in this household is ASTONISHING. Like all Israeli children, these 6 boys constantly invent ways to amuse themselves using found objects and no electronic devices. They had us in stitches dragging piles of each other across the floor and engineering a ping-pong table and the sports tournament that followed.
Straight from the portfolio of Jewish genre painting (Moritz Oppenheim, et al) was the gang of boys sitting together with their father taking turns leyning Torah (leyning = reading aloud with a sort of chant) - even the 5-year-old.
My friend Tamar from Portland arrived recently.
She is here primarily to do some reporting about the situation in Gaza and the Israeli government for the Portland Jewish Review. If time permits, I may accompany Tamar to Sderot or Ashkelon, cities currently under rocket attack even during Israeli military action to exterminate Hamas centers of attack.
I am not of suicidal disposition - I have been to Sderot and Ashkelon before; and they are unattractively but life-savingly equipped with alert systems and concrete shelters every few yards. Under years of constant fire from undirected rockets, you are more likely to lose your mind and muscle control than your life. There have been casualties; but Stress Disorder is endemic. Visitors there for a day are under minimal risk; and communicate solidarity to the locals who haven't slept well for several years.
My impression of the campaign in Gaza is that it mimics US action in Iraq. George Bush the First went into Iraq but left the mission incomplete. In the interim, the forces we opposed were able to increase and fortify themselves. Thus, George Bush the Second felt obliged to go in and finish the job - which had become less predictable and more prolonged and expensive in both dollars and lives.
Local news outlets are probably more thorough than the US press in describing the network of underground bunkers and tunnels Hamas has created, with strategic nerve centers under hospitals, schools, and multi-family residences; and the broad extent of explosive devices at all points of ingress and egress, and even among zoo animals. We also hear about how Hamas deals with individuals who've collaborated with Israeli intelligence: not pretty, as you've guessed.
Tamar's conversations with soldiers indicate that, while they'd all rather be at home with their families or in college, they are loathe to quit the action until Hamas is significantly weakened or, better, decapitated and dismantled. If the government pulls out now, predict the soldiers, they will only have to go back again and fight a stronger enemy.
Portland has a "sister city" relationship with Ashkelon, and Tamar and I are both involved with the Association that fosters this relationship. In fact, I am composing this in Tamar's apartment in a mixed Jewish-Arab-Russian Orthodox- Christian part of Jerusalem. Tamar and I are calm and enjoying peace. If you think life in Jerusalem is otherwise, you are reading the wrong newspapers.
Sara and I last night attended a siyyum celebrated by her fiance, Yehuda Leib. A siyyum is observed when one completes a unit of study. Do not confuse "siyyum" with graduation - it has nothing to do with credits or degrees - only with personal accomplishment and application of self-discipline.
Yehuda Leib's objective is to observe a siyyum every year on his birthday, indicating to himself that he has made good use of another year. I remarked that this explains to my satisfaction why we have birthdays.
The siyyum occured in the home of one of Yehuda Leib's teachers. Since this teacher lives outside Jerusalem, a minyan (ten men of at least bar mitzvah age - 13- necessary to such an event) was assembled among the neighbors. At the appointed time, ten pink-cheeked eighth-graders in black hats marched in and took their places at the table. There was a little giggling, the siyyum was observed with solemnity and respect, the black hats soon found their way to the floor, and cake was served. The ten lads then left and the family and visitors had dinner.
We are pleased as punch to be able to celebrate his accomplishment with this fine young man - and we are also glad to have clean clothes to wear, now that the laundry is done.
Thus, the circle of this narrative closes.


The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Greenwich may be the favorite of princes watching collectors of pilot watches. Nothing could be "visited the place" such as the old Rolex GMT-Master Vintage replica 1675 "Pepsi Cola" bezel, in good condition.
The classic Rolex GMT-Master may be the father of serious aviation watches. Like a true pilot watch, GMT-Master is really a partnership between Pan Am and Rolex. The ultimate product was delivered to the Pan Am flight crew being an approved professional instrument. Since its debut in 1955, the Rolex GMT-Master is just about the first watch to mix a 2-way 24-hour baffle, automatic winding along with a 4th half-speed movement ("24-hour" hands).
This time around series offers the pilot by having an unparalleled capability to view universal time (GMT) while keeping quick access to local time by rotating the bezel.
This second illustration of the Rolex GMT-Master has numerous outstanding vintage highlights. The timepiece includes a serial quantity of 1.six million and goes back close to 1965-1966.
Its "big arrow" 24-hour hands and bigger crown guard are sign of the GMT within the late 1960s, and both features succeed. Within this situation, the GMT-Master 1675 features a better Rolex automatic movement 1575. Launched within the mid-1960s, the 1575 elevated the GMT-Master's beat rate from 18,000 VpH to 19,800 it makes sense even bigger Timing error brought on by vibration and shock.
The highlight of the example may be the excellent white-colored matte black dial and also the legendary "Pepsi" bezel. Because the mid-1960s, Rolex has redesigned the GMT-Master dial to determine a clearer mixture of tones and finishes within this example. Even though the early "gloss / gold / chapter ring" GMT-Masters is extremely romantic, but hard to read, the pilot complained.


When should you be thinking of an estate plan? Does it start when you get married or when you have your first baby or when you retire?
Millions of Canadians does not have an estate plan. When they are gone and there is no estate plan and or will created, the chances are that the siblings fight with each other and each hire a professional and end up draining the assets of the estate. We do not want to talk about this because it is of a sensitive issue to talk in the first place.
Every one of us should have a will and a plan to ensure that you minimize the tax consequences after death, the assets are distributed to the intended recipients without any issue and to preserve the wealth.
Consult your Tax Accountant to determine how you can benefit from an Estate Plan and or Will.

Katy Butler tells us how the methods of "Nonviolent Communication" can support our practice of Right Speech.
By Katy Butler
© Duane Michals
According to former psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, needs are never in opposition—only our strategies for meeting them are. A number of dharma teachers are finding that Rosenberg's methods can serve as a support for the Buddhist practice of Right Speech.
It is a midsummer morning and I am meditating with my parents in their living room. At my back my father sits in an armchair, his right shoulder slumped from the stroke that threw him to his knees six months ago. My mother is upright in front of me on her seiza bench, her white hair falling over her shoulders.
I breathe in, making my whole body calm and at peace. The dial of the kitchen timer at my knee turns almost imperceptibly toward zero.
In front of us, sliding doors open onto a deck. Beyond the deck lie the white birches my parents planted thirty years ago and the sloping green Connecticut lawn. My parents are struggling to decide whether to stay here or move into assisted living, and most of my visit home has been spent on the phone with doctors, physical therapists, and lawyers expert in Medicaid and elder law.
Breathing in a long breath, I am aware that I am breathing in a long breath. Breathing out a long breath, I am aware that I am breathing out a long breath. Blessed silence. A fly rock-climbs up the screen door, halts, shifts a front leg, then a back one. My mother suddenly strips off a black flip-flop and lunges forward. Slap! Her flip-flop hits the screen door like a fly swatter. Bzzz bzzz. Slap.
What's wrong with her? This is meditation!
Bzzz. Slap slap. Bzzz.
I'm annoyed, but try out "correct" phrases in my head: Val, I was hoping for some quiet time . . . Val, would you be willing to . . . ?
Bzzz. Slap slap.
A giggle rises as I put a hand on her shoulder and whisper something that isn't exactly Right Speech. She smiles at me and sits down.
I am fifty-three. With both Buddhists and non-Buddhists—boyfriends, brothers, bosses, and carpenters, as well as my parents—I have been trying consciously to practice Right Speech for the past twenty years. Nevertheless, not long ago this family meditation session would have ended in a spat.
My Buddhist teachers have long impressed upon me the "what" and "why" of Right Speech.
"It's all a matter of art and timing," Thich Nhat Hanh once told me. His version of this precept includes an imperative: "Always speak in a way that inspires self-confidence, joy, and hope." I sincerely wanted to be both truthful and kind, but until recently I didn't have a clue how to go about it. I muddled along, tolerating bickering, misunderstanding, and withdrawal, surprised by how often I felt flashes of real anger—at shop clerks and telemarketers, as well as people I knew intimately and loved.
There is an old friend who still avoids me. There is an electrician who hasn't spoken to me since I left him an angry voice mail about unfinished work. And there are two teenage stepsons I struggle to live with and get to know.
Shortly before Memorial Day two years ago, I grew thoroughly tired of regretting what I'd said, or hadn't said, in situations of discomfort or conflict. Too many times I had noticed something rising—a knot in my heart, a throbbing in my throat, a turning in my belly—accompanied by unspoken words that were a recipe for further suffering. How rude. Doesn't he like me? went the critical inner dialogue whenever my stepson Ryan walked out of the house without saying goodbye. He is always invading my space went my mind whenever my partner, Brian, tried to kiss me while I was doing yoga.
The litany continued as I moved through my hours and days: That was so sexist. He's so mean. That was so dumb of me. She takes and never gives. Why does Ned [my other stepson] have to watch Jeopardy! when I want to cook dinner in peace? And then, inevitably, I would blurt out something that couldn't be taken back.
On the other hand, being a Buddhist Goody Two Shoes—taking a deep breath, smiling, and trying to see the other person's point of view—often left me feeling that I'd been taken advantage of. After more than two decades of meditation practice, I was tired of my inner struggle between trying to meet a Buddhist ideal and the forceful rising of my still-chaotic inner life.
That was how things stood on the sunny day two years ago when Kathryn, a non-Buddhist friend, came to my Memorial Day barbecue wearing a beautiful straw hat wreathed in flowers. Kathryn is active in the Natural Death movement, and all afternoon, I watched in awe as she fielded baiting questions from a handsome, slightly drunk guest. I can't remember the words she used, but instead of taking offense, Kathryn responded to him respectfully, without sacrificing her truth or compromising her dignity. She reminded me of an Aikido master—in motion yet centered, calmly melding with her attacker and deflecting his thrusts without harming him.
When I later remarked on how skillfully she had handled him, Kathryn credited something called "Nonviolent Communication" and lent me a book by its creator, a former psychologist named Marshall Rosenberg. She invited me to join a small group—part of a worldwide network accessible through the Center for Nonviolent Communication website, www.cnvc.org—that practices this approach by role-playing situations from their own lives. Later I found out that a number of American Buddhists had already discovered an affinity between Nonviolent Communication and Buddhist practice.
Once a month, we sat in a circle of chairs in someone's living room, observing and participating in the role play: a boundary dispute with a neighbor; a conflict between two singers in an interracial church choir; the disappointment of a man whose wealthier girlfriend did not take him on her trip to Europe. Slowly I learned to weather my intense emotions and translate my first, fear-driven thoughts into honest but nonconfrontational language, scrupulously devoid of blame.
At the simplest level, Nonviolent Communication follows a strict protocol: observing and describing an external situation without judgment, evaluation, or blame; articulating the feelings the situation triggers and connecting them to a basic, unmet need; then making a "clear, specific, do-able request" of the other party or parties in the situation. Crucial to the whole process is learning to listen empathically and to strategize ways to meet others' needs as well as our own.
Marshall Rosenberg was a clinical psychologist in St. Louis before he abandoned his practice in the late 1970s to, as he puts it, "give psychology away" by teaching communication skills on a wider scale. Like his mentor, the humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers, Rosenberg emphasizes an empathic approach, maintaining that one of our deepest human needs is to contribute to others' well-being, so long as our own needs are not compromised in the process.
Rosenberg's fascination with peacemaking and effective communication has its roots in his childhood observation of miscommunication and pain. His parents' marriage was unhappy, and the family moved frequently as his father searched for work during the Depression. In Detroit, their neighborhood was the center of violent race riots in the 1940s; at school, Rosenberg was called names and beaten up because he was a Jew. These experiences, he recalls, inspired him to explore "what happens to disconnect people from their inherently compassionate nature, and what allows some people to stay connected to it even in trying circumstances."
From his work with civil rights activists in the 1960s, Rosenberg came up with the precise language of Nonviolent Communication, designed to minimize defensive reactions and maximize cooperation. Now based in Switzerland, he circles the globe, training educators, lawyers, clergy, government and law-enforcement officials, and families in crisis; he has taught his method everywhere from inner-city schools to a police station in Israel to prisons in the United States and Sweden. In Marin County, California, where I live, aspects of Nonviolent Communication have been incorporated into court-supervised anger management programs for men accused of domestic violence.
Last spring I took several workshops from Rosenberg, including one held in the Buddha Hall at the San Francisco Zen Center's Green Gulch Farm. Initially, the prescribed language of Nonviolent Communication seemed awkward and mechanistic. I remember listening to one woman struggle to string nonjudgmental words together as she practiced asking a family member not to leave the bathroom tap dripping. "Turn off the tap, would you?" came out something like "Yesterday I asked you to turn the water in the bathroom sink all the way off, and when I went in later, I noticed that the tap was still dripping. I also noticed it dripping the day before and the day before that, after I had asked you to turn it off. I don't know why, it just bugs me. So I'd like to ask if you'd be willing in the future to—"
"Sure," interrupted the man playing the role of her teenage son. Rolling his eyes, he added, "Whatever."
At that point, Rosenberg stepped in. "We all know 'Whatever,'" he said, referring to the barely hidden contempt a teenager can pack into that word. "But what need is he expressing? For autonomy, maybe. And what does turning off the tap mean to her? Could be 'caring.' We all have a need for caring. Once they get in touch with their real needs," Rosenberg continued, "they can figure out a strategy for meeting them. Needs are never in conflict—only our strategies for meeting them are."
As a Buddhist attuned to the Four Noble Truths, I found this construction of reality based on needs problematic at first. For years I had practiced what the Christians call the via negativa—letting go of needs and desires as a path to growth. Needs, in that schema—and in Buddhism as well—are "attachments" that inevitably lead to suffering and unease. I tried to practice radical acceptance and to let go of personal preference, to the point of sometimes not articulating how I felt, even to myself. But after two decades of that approach I was angrier—though less assertive—than I am now.
Nonviolent Communication has led me to the via positiva—an understanding that expressing my needs, without making them into demands, can be as much a path to growth as letting them go. Needs aren't the problem; it is rigidly clinging to a particular strategy to meet them that produces suffering.
I realized that I could meet my need for quiet, for example, by taking a walk alone in the woods or meditating in my study before starting to cook dinner. Holding on to a strategy—insisting, for example, that my stepson turn off the TV—practically guarantees conflict or capitulation, leaving both of us unhappy. But Ned would never have to miss another installment of Jeopardy!—and I could cook in peace— if we found a mutually beneficial strategy, such as extending the cable service to the TV set in his bedroom.
This distinction between needs and strategies is one the Buddha himself tacitly acknowledged when he stopped starving himself— abandoning asceticism as a strategy for reaching enlightenment—and gave in to his fundamental human need for sustenance, drinking the yogurt offered by a young village girl. (I like to think it was through this simple human interchange that the Middle Way—the strategy that led to the Buddha's enlightenment—was born.)
On the surface, Nonviolent Communication seems simplistic, little more than common sense. But just as watching one's breath becomes something deeper over time, the practice of compassionate communication can lead to subtle but profound inner shifts. I label myself and others less frequently now, and I have developed a more fluid sense of self and others, one more aligned with the Buddhist view that there is no fixed or independent self.
The daily practice of "translating" my first judgmental thoughts into pure observation has brought more clarity to my inner life. On a good day, my emotions are no longer problems to be suppressed or meditated away, but a source of useful information—the vapor trails of my unmet needs.
Last Christmas morning, when my stepsons left the house without saying goodbye while I was making breakfast pancakes, I felt crushed and insulted. In the vocabulary of Nonviolent Communication, however, "insulted" is not a feeling; it's a tangle of emotions—surprise, sadness, and anger in this case—thoughts, expectations, and interpretations: What did I do wrong? Don't they like me? They shouldn't treat me like that. Their father should discipline them more. Teenagers are so rude.
Silently, I rephrased my inner dialogue to describe the situation factually, articulate my feelings about it, and identify the unmet needs: When the boys walked out the door without saying anything, I was surprised and disappointed because I had assumed we would all have breakfast together on Christmas morning. My needs for contact, celebration, and respect weren't being met. Through Nonviolent Communication I was, in effect, practicing a meditation of disentanglement, teasing out the individual strands of thought and feeling that had arisen in a jumble, like snarled wool.
Later, when the four of us talked around the dinner table about our blended-family holiday angst, I learned that the boys had had longstanding plans to see their mother and exchange Christmas gifts. I understood their feelings of divided loyalty and their need to connect with her, and made a mental note to discuss their holiday plans in advance next year. I asked Ryan to routinely say hi and goodbye to me when he comes and goes. He does that now, and it's made a huge difference in my daily comfort.
When I first started practicing Nonviolent Communication, I saw it primarily as a way of putting the right words in the right order to get what I wanted. Last spring, when Ryan announced that he'd like to leave his mother's house and move back in with us for the summer, my main goal was to figure out how to keep my study (formerly Ryan's bedroom) without antagonizing him or looking bad. I got lost in self-justifying and self-attacking thoughts about whether or not my needs should trump his: I'm the adult, after all—but am I being selfish? He's got another bedroom at his mom's, and I need my space—but what am I doing to his relationship with his father?
Once I managed to couch my need as something anyone might want—a little nest of my own in my home—my inner critic fell silent. Instead of insisting on my way, I found myself truly listening to Ryan and seeing his point of view; his needs began to matter as much as my own. I considered the possibility of renting an office outside the house. It turned out that Ryan wanted to move back mainly because he had a summer job across town and figured that his father would be more likely than his mother to drive him to work. In the end, he decided to stay at his mother's, but we gave him a ride when he needed one.
Nonviolent Communication doesn't solve every outer and inner conflict. But it softens and illuminates them, bringing to light hidden assumptions in my thought and speech. I am remapping my inner landscape now. What I used to call selfishness or stubbornness I reframe as a need for autonomy. What I called codependence I now describe as my need to contribute to the lives of others. What I called a fear of intimacy I now characterize as a need for private time.
On a spiritual level, I no longer see Nonviolent Communication as a technique for getting what I want but as a practice—a middle way between quietism and activity, acceptance and action, love and assertion, the bodhisattva ideal and human vulnerability. Nonviolent Communication complements Buddhist teachings with a language and approach that allow me to be gentler with myself and others, without sacrificing my inner truth.
And how is Nonviolent Communication working out down here on the ground? Last spring, in negotiations with an insurance company over a car accident, I left on good terms—and with a $16,500 settlement, $11,500 more than predicted by the lawyers who refused to take my case. My two-week visit with my parents last summer ended without a single bruising fight, even though we talked every day about death, disability, and money. As for Jeopardy!, I'm getting used to it. While I cook, I even find myself shouting out some of the answers.
Nonviolent Communication—called "a language of compassion" by its creator, Marshall Rosenberg—is a method for resolving conflict by expressing needs without blame or criticism, then listening and responding empathically. The basic steps are these:
Observe the situation upsetting you and describe it in language free of judgment. Avoid labeling of yourself or others. ("What's wrong with her?" might be, in NVC parlance, "Five minutes after I rang the bell for meditation, my mother began slapping at the fly.")
Understand that external events are only a trigger for, not the cause of, your inner reactions. Take responsibility for your emotions. Instead of saying "You made me so mad," try "After you said that, I felt irritated and sad." Identify your precise feeling. NVC characterizes feelings as emotional states plus physical sensation. "Eager," "angry," and "satisfied," for example, fit that definition. "Betrayed," "ignored," and "misunderstood" do not; they mix emotion, description, and assumption, and include a judgment about another's intentions.
Connect your feelings with the needs that were unfulfilled in the situation. ("I felt irritated when I heard the TV because I need silence.") NVC acknowledges not only universal human needs like air, food, and exercise, but also complex needs like creative expression, respect, and love.
Follow up with a specific do-able request. ("Would you be willing to turn off Jeopardy!?") Avoid vague generalities, as the other person will have no way of knowing exactly what new behavior will satisfy you. To avoid sounding reproachful, ask for what you want, not what you don't want.
Listen carefully to the other person's response and to the feelings and needs their words are expressing, even indirectly. ("But Jeopardy! is my favorite show. It's how I unwind after work.")
Empathize with the other person's feelings and needs. Repeat back what you think is being said, without sounding patronizing or all-knowing. ("I'm guessing that you might be annoyed at my request to turn off Jeopardy! because you need a way to unwind.")
Differentiate between universal human needs and pet strategies for meeting them. The need for love and reassurance is universal, but wanting a particular person to say "I love you" right this minute is a strategy and may meet with opposition.
Brainstorm strategies that meet everyone's needs. NVC assumes that needs are never in conflict but that the strategies for meeting them often are. (I came up with four strategies: I could wear earplugs or meditate in my room while Jeopardy! is on; I could watch Jeopardy! with Ned; Ned could use headphones; we could extend the cable service to the TV set in Ned's room.)
Be willing to take no for an answer. The difference between a request and a demand lies not in the sweetness of your speech but in whether or not you subtly punish anyone who says no.
Right Speech in Action
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) contains no religious language, but its emphasis on peacemaking, mindfulness, and nonjudgmental awareness complements Buddhist practice. Interest in NVC is growing among Buddhists across America, especially on the West Coast. Here are some of the ways they are applying its principles:
Prison dharma: Lucy Leu, a former college professor who is a student of Vipassana, teaches mindfulness and Nonviolent Communication at Twin Rivers Prison in Washington state and through The Freedom Project, a Seattle-based program for ex-offenders. "It's easy to say May all beings have peace of mind when I do metta practice abstractly, in a ritualistic way," Leu says. "But it's different when I am in the presence of one embodied human being. Nonviolent Communication allows for an authentic external connection even when there is disagreement."
Mindfulness retreats: Lyn Fine, an Oakland, California-based Zen teacher in Thich Nhat Hanh's lineage and a member of his Order of Interbeing, has incorporated Nonviolent Communication techniques into Buddhist retreats in Israel and New York City. She also finds NVC helpful in her relationship with her mother. "It's not that she and I necessarily use NVC language," Fine says. "But it's part of an invisible perspective that permeates and helps deepen our relationship. And generally, when something pops up and I feel angry or scared, I now ask myself internally: What am I needing here? What is my request?" Fine belongs to an informal network of Buddhists who study Nonviolent Communication in the San Francisco Bay Area (see www.baynvc.org).
The Zen Peacemaker Order: Nonviolent Communication is now part of the core curriculum of the Zen Peacemaker Order, whose members integrate spiritual practice with service in the world. Sensei Robert Joshin Althouse, a Zen teacher and executive director of the Peacemaker Order, is currently working toward certification as an NVC trainer. Cooperative, compassionate communication skills can help activists avoid "getting righteous and angry and creating as much trouble in the world as they're trying to heal," Althouse says.
San Francisco Zen Center: NVC's creator, Marshall Rosenberg, was one of only a handful of non-Buddhists invited to teach in the Spring 2002 "Buddhism Unfolds" lecture series at the Zen Center's Green Gulch Farm in Marin County. NVC role-playing practice sessions are now held informally among students at Green Gulch and Tassajara Mountain Monastery, as well as at the organization's City Center in San Francisco.
Jane Lazar, a Nonviolent Communication trainer before she became a Zen student three and a half years ago, leads workshops at City Center, Green Gulch, and Tassajara. "For me, NVC and Buddhism are both challenging and life-giving practices, and they work synergistically," she says. "Nonviolent Communication has given me a lens through which I can guess at the immediate causes and conditions of another's pain, no matter how threatening their expression of it may feel." NVC allows her to express herself authentically without making the other person wrong, she adds. "It's not always so simple to do in the immediacy of an exchange, but I'm usually so happy with the increased intimacy that occurs in even my most awkward attempts. Buddhist practice, on the other hand, is training me to have the presence and patience to be quiet and listen to the authentic message beneath the judgment or blame I hear in another or myself.
Lee Lipp, a clinical psychologist who works in SFZC's outreach, diversity, and prison meditation programs, started practicing Nonviolent Communication earlier this year. She calls NVC "an expression of Avalokiteshvara [Bodhisattva of Compassion], who listens to the sounds of the world," adding that "it's an awareness practice—of the present conditions that we're observing, of our relationship to what we're observing, and of the feelings and needs that arise that ask for compassionate acceptance."
Teacher-student dialogue: Author and Zen teacher Ed Brown, a practitioner of Nonviolent Communication for over a decade, often draws on its methods in working with Zen students. "I may point out the difference between observation and evaluation, and say something like, 'Would you like to try saying what you've noticed without evaluation?' NVC has a very dharmic quality," he adds, "in its emphasis on 'At such and such a time, this is the state of things; this is what I observed.'"
Brown, whose most recent book is Not Always So, a collection of lectures by his teacher, the late Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, has found different aspects of the NVC process valuable at different times. Now he's concentrating on empathy. "If someone has a problem, I tend to think, 'Oh, no, that's my fault; I am to blame; I need to do something to make everything okay again.' So I've been working on being able to say, 'Oh, you're disappointed that didn't turn out the way you wanted it to,' instead of mistakenly assuming responsibility for others' feelings."
The Buddhist Peace Fellowship: "People new to NVC can end up overfocusing on the formulaic steps and missing the heart behind them," says Diana Lion, director of the Berkeley, California-based Peace Fellowship's prison project. A practitioner in both the Vipassana and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Lion teaches Nonviolent Communication at San Quentin Prison. "When I teach prisoners, I think a lot about how to use the ideas and the meaning without alienating people by saying the equivalent of 'You're talking wrong.' I talk in the language that the prisoners use. I might say, 'You don't want to be put in a box; now let's extend that to how you're talking about other people.'"

Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Company Product Information Chair Mats Rugs!
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs are ecologically friendly. Bamboo has a robust root system that generates multiple new shoots for every culm (mature stalk) that is harvested.
Unlike hardwood that can take decades to grow to a mature height ready for harvest, bamboo grows 8-12 feet a year! Therefore, closely regulated harvesting of sustainable bamboo forests is much more ecologically responsible than reckless clear-cutting of old-growth hardwood forests.
What's so special about the Anji Mountains?
Unlike most tropical climates where bamboo grows, the Anji Mountains experience a freeze of approximately two months each year. The cold temperatures stop the sap flow which promotes slow growth that, consequently, produces a much denser, harder and more durable bamboo better suited for flooring use.
What's so special about your bamboo rugs and mats?
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs are manufactured with a non-slip, synthetic padding that is mold, mildew and water-resistant! No need to buy an expensive rug pad!
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs are the only bamboo rugs suitable for indoor/outdoor use (patent pending). Accept no substitutes!
Are these rugs and mats durable?
Yes! Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. patiently waits to harvest the bamboo until it's at least 5 years old. "Why?" you ask. Because older bamboo is harder and more stable than younger bamboo. China permits bamboo to be harvested at 4 years and, although other companies will do so, we believe an extra year or two of maturation makes for a better quality rug. You should too!
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. bamboo is harvested, processed, manufactured and assembled exclusively in the Anji Mountains of China.
Our bamboo has been expertly carbonized (naturally removing moisture and oils) and kiln dried (further removing moisture) to help prevent cracking and warping. These crucial steps are taken to assure our rugs are ready to withstand the dry heat of your home in the wintertime or the arid climate of those living in the desert and mountains.
Our bamboo is machine planed and sanded—then hand-sanded in an extra step to assure the smoothest and finest quality finish possible.
Our rugs are manufactured with color-coordinated poly borders that last longer and are more stain-resistant than cotton borders. Our borders are micro-stitched and bound with mitered corners for better wear and a more attractive finish.
Each rug is packaged with an 8 ½" x 11" color photo label complete with individual UPC number.
Individually packaged in a reusable, zippered bag complete with a carry handle for easy transport and storage! Neat!
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs clean easily with a damp cloth or mop.
Our indoor/outdoor bamboo rugs are treated with a layer of UV protection to minimize fading. However, like all natural wood our rugs will fade in time when exposed to direct sunlight.
When our rugs are used outdoors it is recommended that they be stored inside when not in use to maximize the life of the rug.
Rugs should be stood up on end after a rain to drain excess moisture.

This Week in Programming: Less Than Random
this-week-in-programming,
This Week in Programing summarizes the week in development news.
Oct 19th, 2019 7:00am by Mike Melanson
This week, an article over on I-Programmer tells us that time has come for Mersenne Twister to be considered harmful, citing the publication of a scholarly paper on the topic by Sebastiano Vigna.
Here's the gist of the situation: essentially, the Mersenne Twister is a very widespread pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) that is "the default generator in C compilers, the Python language, the Maple mathematical computation system, and in many other environments," and Vigna is arguing (in the paper's title, even) that "it is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister."
i will never stop ranting about the mersenne twister WHY IS IT IN EVERY FUCKING LANGUAGE OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH PROGRAMMERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
— Anna Harren (@garblefart) June 22, 2019
This isn't the first time that the Mersenne Twister has come under fire (it's implementation in PHP actually had a typo for some years), but Vigna writes that "knowledge accumulated in the last 20 years suggests that the Mersenne Twister has, in fact, severe defects, and should never be used as a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator. Many of these results are folklore or are scattered through very specialized literature. This paper surveys these results for the non-specialist, providing new, simple, understandable examples, and it is intended as a guide for the final user, or for language implementors, so that they can take an informed decision about whether to use the Mersenne Twister or not."
Mersenne Twister: small code, small state, high throughput, high-quality random numbers: pick any 0.
— Fabian Giesen (@rygorous) April 28, 2018
So, why are we still using this particular PRNG if it's plagued by such problems? Vigna offers that "the problems of the Mersenne Twister are not immediately detectable in everyday applications, and most users really interested in the quality of their PRNG will make an informed choice, rather than relying on the stock PRNG of whichever programming environment they are using."
The Mersenne Twister is a particular type of PRNG called an F2-linear generator and I-Programmer writes that its defects are easily avoided "if you take the bits generated as uniformly distributed in the interval 0 to 1 and then apply a non-linear transformation to a different distribution then the defects go away," and hence remains popular and in-use.
Vigna, similarly, concludes that, "in particular, linear generators should never be used as general-purpose generators, unless their output is suitably scrambled by combining it with other, nonlinear generators, or by applying nonlinear maps. The current, dangerous ubiquity of the Mersenne Twister as basic PRNG in many environments is a historical artifact that we, as a community, should take care of."
the mersenne twister sounds like a horrible sex position tbh

This Week in Programming
Adios, Perl 6, Hello Raku! That's right, the long battle has finally ended, with Perl creator Larry Wall finally agreeing to approve renaming Perl 6 to raku, officially separating the language from its predecessor and, hopefully, allowing both to move on in peace and harmony. Time and again, for some years now, we've looked at the debate over Perl 5 and Perl 6 and the vast chasm that exists between the two languages — to the point that they are unrelated, many argue — and finally we can move on. In a comment, Wall said he was "in favor of this change, because it reflects an ancient wisdom." Citing a Biblical quote that essentially boils down to the fact that it's time to start over and move ahead, the decision was made to rename Perl 6 to Raku, which Perl blogger Ovid writes "will hopefully put to rest many of the deeply divisive arguments people in the Perl community have had over the rename. Though support for a rename was overwhelming, there was a loud minority who objected. But through it all, one thing remained clear: everyone meant well."

Diving Into Errors in Go 1.13: If the error wrapping feature introduced with Go 1.13 was at all confusing to you, the Go team has penned a blog post that goes into all the details on working with errors in Go 1.13 to go into all the details. Basically, they write, "the pattern of one error containing another is so pervasive in Go code that, after extensive discussion, Go 1.13 added explicit support for it" in the form of "three new functions in the errors package, and a new formatting verb for fmt.Errorf."
Python Moves on to 3.8.0: The Python community said that Python 3.8.0 is now available, the newest feature release that "contains many new features and optimizations." To get the full dish, make sure to check out the full article that lays out what's new in Python 3.8, but here are a few tidbits. The main feature of note, it seems, is the "walrus operator" or ":=", which assigns values to variables as part of a larger expression and saves some code space. One Reddit user writes that "a very vocal portion of the Python community ran Guido out over assignment expressions" — or, this walrus operator. Another says they expect the walrus operator to be "occasionally useful" at best. Beyond that, there are several other features in Python 3.8 and Packt does a splendid job of examining both the features and the reactions.
You know what? Everything worked before we switched to Kubernetes. Don't @ me.

Inside Rust & Rustup 1.2: The Rust team launched the Inside Rust blog a few weeks back, and the blog has kicked off with a series of team meetings and some deep-dive blog posts, such as the Infrastructure Team Meeting, Compiler Team Triage Meeting, and Lang Team Triage Meeting, and a blog post looking at improving async-await's "Future is not Send" diagnostic. So, if you're looking to really dive down into the internals of Rust development, this looks like a good read. Beyond blogging, the Rustup working group has been busy and announced Rustup 1.20.0 this week. Rustup is a Rust installer and the latest version features profiles support, which offers the ability to get the latest available nightly with all the components you need, as well as improvements to the rustup doc command. Basically, profiles support will speed up installation by introducing profiles, which are groups of components. Currently, the profiles are minimal, default, and complete, and are about what you might expect — minimal has just what you need, default includes all the previous components installed by default, and complete is includes all the components available through rustup, including miri and IDE integration tools (rls and rust-analysis).

AWS Backs Rust in "Promotional Credits"? In a bit more Rust news, AWS has begun sponsoring the Rust Project. Why, you might ask? They cite Rust's values, which include performance, reliability, and productivity. Also, all the other cool kids like Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla are using Rust, and Lambda, EC2, and S3 all choose "to use Rust in performance-sensitive components." And don't forget, they say, they've "even open sourced the Firecracker microVM project!" What does this sponsorship mean? Before you get too excited, The Register writes that it basically provides "promotional credits" as part of a general open source sponsorship program by Amazon.
Firefox & Microsoft Release New Debugging Tools for WebDevs: Two releases this week for web developers. First, Firefox announced a new WebSocket inspector, which will be released in Firefox 71. For the itchy-fingered, it's also ready to use in the Firefox Developer Edition now. The tool is a product of Heng Yeow Tan, a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) student, and it integrates some libraries to aid with "connection failures, proxies, authentication and authorization, scalability, and much more." Upcoming releases are said to promise a binary payload viewer, and the ability to indicate closed connections and export WebSocket frames. Meanwhile, Microsoft also unveiled the ability to debug JavaScript in Microsoft Edge from Visual Studio. They note that the next version of Microsoft Edge will adopt the Chromium open source project, and that starting with Visual Studio 2019 version 16.2, they have extended Java debugging support to the preview builds of Microsoft Edge. For the full, lengthy details on how this works, with example, click through to the post.
Baa, baa, Kubernetes,

I want to retrieve top javascript repositories sorted by stars with that request:
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:javascript&sort=stars&order=desc
Once at the first place is visible freeCodeCamp repository once vue once bootstrap.
Maybe I have used this API incorectly or I should not relly on official github API ?
Have you met such problem? Do you have some kind of solution for this?

In 2009 while at Quest Center I produced a book, Portraits in Healing; artistic pathways through breast cancer in concert with grants from the Regional Arts and Culture Council, the Gloria Kelman Fund and Quest Center funds. The book features artwork and writing from 20 women who have dealt with breast cancer on their own terms.
You can read the book here by downloading the PDF (55MB).
The artwork, prose and poetry contained in the book are powerful and insightful, hip and irreverent, sad and uplifting and represent a diversity of life experiences and courageous spirits. The images are moving self-portraits, made from artwork in digital photography, embroidery and collage. The book tells the truth in words and images about what it's like to live with cancer as a chronic illness or as a terminal diagnosis and not just live, but live large.
Jo Brody is one of the most creative people I know. She has inspired me through her wonderful art workshops, and her joy for creative playfulness and exploration. Jo has the eye of an artist, finding beauty everywhere and creating something amazing. Her beadwork is so engaging, beautifully made, and just makes the wearer feel especially lovely! I always enjoy seeing the new ways Jo can mix so many different materials and ideas and make something so surprising and delightful. If you want to wear a piece of art- Jo's jewelry is just the perfect thing. You can feel Jo's love of the creative spirit in every bead--what a gift! Jo has made it possible for the clients in the Healing and Empowerment Breast Cancer Program at Quest Center for Integrative Health in Portland, Oregon to experience making art by creating supportive and innovative art workshops. As Program Manager Jo was awarded many grants for art workshops with a wide variety of talented artists and teachers. Jo's passion for art and creativity enhanced the healing journey for many women in challenging times. Jo, along with clients and artists in the community, collaborated in 2009 to create a beautiful and moving book, Portraits in Healing; Artistic Pathways Through Breast Cancer. All who contributed to this project have Jo to thank for her tireless work, her energy and creative ideas in making the book possible. Thank you, Jo for sharing your art and yourself with us and being an inspiration on this path.

Storage units are not just for your old or unused items; in fact, they have plenty of untapped potential when it comes to space management. Most people using storage rental units near Lafayette end up using them haphazardly by cramming unwanted items into an empty unit. This often leads to broken or lost items. If you really want to maximize the space you are paying for, you need to plan ahead before you even start to load up that first box.
Go Large to Small – Larger items are bulky, take up more space and require more planning. So, it only makes sense to load those into the unit first. Use these larger items as a base and start by loading them near the walls. Tables and other flat items can be stored upside down so that boxes can be stored on top of them too. If you are storing mattresses, place them on their side near walls and store your sofas vertically rather than horizontally.
Maximize Every Inch – The goal is to fill every gap and that means looking for potential storage spaces even when it does not seem as though there are any. For example, fill dresser drawers with items you need to store rather than leaving them empty. Drawers are especially good to store fragile, wrapped items. Bundle up tools and office supplies and then store in baskets. Fill luggage with storage items and pack bookshelves with photo albums, games and books.
Fragile Items – Breakable objects need extra protection. Make sure each item is bubble-wrapped and properly cushioned before placing in a box. Whenever possible, use the dish wrappers and customized sectioned cartons to protect fragile items. Place all boxes containing fragile items in a safe position; never place other heavy cartons or objects on top of them.
Make It Convenient – While you want to maximize the space, you still need the space to be efficient when you remove items. Try to keep items from the same room or within the same category together – such as kitchen stuff in one corner and collectibles in another. Also, do not forget to create small pathways between storage sections so that you can easily access items.
Make a list of everything you are storing – This insures that you know what is in the unit. Always remember to list what is inside a box, on its outside. These steps will save time later when you need to find something that you've stored.
Whether you need a long-term storage solution or you are just clearing out some space, utilizing the rental storage unit fully will help you save time and money. After all, when you use the space efficiently, you will not need or pay for a bigger unit.
