Re: need advice on handling a student...
Ooof, that's a mine field. Get your campus' counselor involved pronto; I assume your school district also has a main/superintendent's office-level intervention officer, to whom I'd go if the campus...

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Okay, some pics from my most recent Turkish coffee prep.

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Update--my ibrik landed earlier this week and I've made up a few brews. So far, they're turning out pretty tasty, but I haven't gotten the heating procedure down just yet, and am not getting quite...

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Sounds real nice, Dan, and the times I've had coffee prepared this way in Mediterranean joints it's always been a treat. Got any good sources for nice pots?
