Oh, by gosh by golly, it's almost time for mistletoe and holly!
Holly Laginess, creator of the artful designs, By Golly By Holly, will officially open a new art market, Poesy, on Thursday, Nov. 1 just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Poesy, at 1600 Rochester Road, will feature handcrafted creative works from local and national artists including functional art, fine art and photography. Not only will it be a great place to find a gift, but it will also function as the owner's working studio during off-hours.
Laginess has always wanted to open her own store and although she is doing so in a challenging economic climate, she is creating a no-risk opportunity for her featured artists. With the new retail location, talented craftspeople will have the opportunity to bring their works to Poesy on a consignment basis where Laginess feels their reward will definitely outweigh their risk.
Poesy – meaning poetic inspiration – is interpreted by Laginess as an artful spirit: a feeling.
"An art purchase really reflects a buyer's personality," said Laginess. "With this new gallery I am really looking forward to spending more time with my customers. I also have a personal relationship with all my featured artists, so a purchase will most likely come with a fun story of my own experience with the artist and theircraft."
Customers and friends are invited to Poesy's grand opening event on Friday, November 16, 2012 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. "Poesy will be a store that brightens your day!" says Laginess.
Holly Laginess is a veteran artist, with her works sold in over 450 galleries in nearly every state including Hawaii and Alaska. She has sold her ceramics to many well-known companies including Meijer Botanical Gardens (Grand Rapids, MI), the Biltmore Estate (Asheville, NC), Kohler Co. (Kohler, WI) and The Grand Hotel (Mackinac Island, MI). Many local celebrities have also been adorned in her handcrafted jewelry.
Poesy is located at 1600 Rochester Rd. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday Noon-7 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Sweet and Sly: The Girls of Iquitos, from Bo Keely
June 20, 2012 |
Hormonal location is the tropical vagabond method to evaluate factors in new lands to determine his future wife and home. It is an odd twist of scientific location used by individuals and businesses to factor where to set up store. Once the factors are identified and weighed, pack the bags.
The right spot from my observations for thirteen years of ex-pats and personal experiences is Iquitos, Peru with 400,000 natives and the prettiest, most aggressive females on the planet, The average daily wage is $7 and all is nonviolent except the sinister mothers and witches who cast spells on hapless gringos driven by hormonal location.
For centuries the girls have boated up and down rivers from their five to fifty dirt floor or stilted hut towns to Iquitos for work, that puts thousands in the stores, cafes and on the streets at a ratio of three per harangued male. The imbalance leads them to seek companionship as much out of personal as financial need.
The four questions asked of every man, regardless of age, on his day of arrival in sexual Shangri-La and hourly thereafter, are: Where are you from? Do you have a wife? What is your job? And, (if employed or on social security) Where are you staying?
On alighting a month ago in Iquitos, I rode a surrey moto-taxi around to twenty hostels in the $3- 5 range to discover that rooms rent by the hour for sex at the daily rate if you pay a week in advance. So, my Coo´s Hostel fills every room with clients whom I never see in leaving at 7am and returning after midnight, and except for the open doors, rumpled sheets and pretty cleaning lady, I have the place to myself.
A handful of young to retired male tourists step off the daily flights into the chlorophyll scented air, and are swept off their feet if not by the first, then the second or third young, pretty jungle girl. They think they are in heaven swinging from a hammock with wild grapes dropped into their mouths. The girls are not prostitutes but rather predators taught by their mothers in an Iquitos tradition of prey. In other countries throughout Southeast Asia, Africa and South America the girls stop short after attaining the ultimate dream of marriage, while the Amazon girls begin to sharpen their claws.
If their mothers are correct, and statistics bear them out, the dividends begin after marriage in a hot brand of sexual tourism unique to Iquitos. Since first visiting in 1999, I´ve fraternized with a dozen ex-pats and know of another dozen who arrived, quickly married, unwillingly divorced, and now tear hair. There is only one surviving marriage in town belonging to the most successful restraunteur, and I hope it´s for love rather than money.
The mother is the guiding light in the search and seizure of the right man, as was her mother. The first lesson is to ask the four questions. The second lesson seems to be to perform well in bed. The third is to have a baby, and decry the father. The fourth is to marry, the fifth in about two years to divorce. And the sixth is to torment the lover for eighteen years to support mom´s family in the background.
The deepest claw of the jungle girl, as her bloom of beauty fades and mother´s sway comes to fist, is the baby. If the guy takes his newlywed to USA, mom and family follow, he supports them, and in six months his wife moves in with a richer man. However, most ex-pats fall into the local picture and in rapid domino succession beg to divorce, are refused for a couple years, face a stack of charges in a molasses court system, and end up financially strapped and gibbering in a dollar-a-day boarding house.
When the Spanish inquisition arrived in a city they used five steps to confession that are no more effective than the mothers of Iquitos: Step one is ask the citizen to sign a confession, step two is lead him to the door of the torture chamber, step three if there is no confession is open the door, step four he is strapped to the rack, and step five he screams.
Gone not only is the wife but the peculiar Iquitos custom due to the lopsided sex ratio that the newlywed introduces her best girlfriend as a second lover to her husband after the wedding night so that she has someone to talk to in the new neighborhood.
Normally, six months after the nuptial vows the gringo gets shocking news from his best man that he is accused of cheating on his wife. This is a mockery because he is so in love with two girls that the thought of a third never entered his mind. He runs into a wall trying to talk to his wife who insists that so-and-so chica is willing to testify to adultery. Next he is summoned to the police station to respond to a wife beating charge and pictures of her black and blue arms that the officers and court weigh more heavily than evidence that he was elsewhere on the night of the ordeal.
The final hook into the ex-pat is the birth of a baby that he fears getting blood tests for which may prove out rumors of his wife´s infidelity. She forces him out of the house and raises the kid with her girlfriend, while dad is forced by the court to pay $100 monthly child support.
A few months later, ´My mother says, gringo, that if you don´t start paying $100 monthly for mental anguish, things could sour between us.´ If he has the money, he pays on top of child support, but if not, she publishes a deuncio in the newspaper that is the kiss of death for everywhere he goes is under a rain of eye daggers and curses. After being forced to visit a psychiatrist, he returns a denuncio saying she is crazy, and she plays trump with a pin-filled effigy on his doorstep.
Nearly every gringo ends up hating his wife but loving his child and paying until she is 18-years old since his mother-in-law refuses to take a balloon payment for consent to take the child out of the country that would kill the golden goose. He should prefer to go crazy for what awaits him in the legal system as the daughter matures and a stack of charges wind through the slow Peruvian system for his sentencing.
Foreigners do not entirely discount hexes. A 6´1´´ British pilot came to me in tears saying he had just hired a defense witchdoctor to counter the spell of an effigy with pins stuck in the head that was in his mailbox. He wanted to talk, to know that it was ok to get egg yolk poured on his head to break the spell. Then he burst, ´The family has defamed me, the police tail me, everyone in the street stares, and yesterday when I picked up my four-year old daughter there was a rash on her vagina that the family has pictures of to prove that I molested her. I´ll languish in prison to old age, and the mother will continue to extort funds. Please take a look at my daughter´s vagina.´
I stepped back in hesitation as he thrust out the cradled baby. ´You´re a veterinarian, so just pretend she´s a puppy and tell me if it looks like a rash from sleeping on dirty bedding in her mother´s house, or rape.´ A quick look suggested dirty underwear or sheets. He seemed relieved, I left and lost track, but heard that he fled the country.
Once a foreigner tastes jungle romance he often thinks to get married, but when I first tasted the rainforest I sought a business marriage to obtain a residence visa. I was savvy enough to ask an ex-pat to set me up with a girl I´d never met whom he considered physically unattractive, who didn't want sex, just money to sign a few documents in the Peruvian fashion. I met the girl and jumped through the hoops of meeting her family, buying them drinks, and getting cross-examined by the mother who´s first four questions were, ´Where are you from, Are you married, What is your job, and Where are you staying?´ She hardly got the last word off her tongue when I excused myself and left.
Iquitos is the most miserable place in the world to get married and the best to have sex. Or, seeking storybook romance, take a ferry a day or more up or down river, and hike a couple miles into the jungle and through a town game of volleyball played by predominantly nubile girls who develop physically about two years earlier than their American versions. Their mothers-in-law have never seen a white man before, and you may swing happily from a hammock for the rest of your life.
In hormonal location Iquitos offers some of the prettiest, penniless, and happiest girls in the world, however one cannot study long enough before settling with the girl of his dreams.

I like the way you handle your business sir.
The mother-daughter grift is potent. At least the hapless in your story had the benefit of good sex and threesomes before the gaslight.

Ummm… so I from Iquitos and obvious you have had issue. We are not all like you say. I could say that all gringo males are looking for sex with little girls because in Iquitos alot of foreign males come to have sex with children. I think you need be balanced. It true that we pretty and we like sex but in Iquitos there no much else to do.

First i would like to say that the picture you have in this article does not belong to you or match to the article your talking about. Iquitos for your information is one of the best and historical town of peru since 1760, and since we have the amazon rainforest Iquitos is the door to one of the seven wonders in nature of the world. And about stealing and being married that is something that, unfortunatly happen in all over the world, but your are right about how terrible girls are and like to take advantage of people from another country. But I again that does not generalized what Iquitos city is. In iquitos there is a place call BELEN, maybe you were miss informed of the places where to go, and ending being in there. Belen is not a tourist atraction from Iquitos except the flooting houses. If you ended marring a person from there probably that is why happen to you that.

So you go somewhere to try to take advantage of girls (i.e. having sex with them)like an in heat moose…then say YOU are being taken advantage of by them outsmarting you financially? You'd deserve to lose your money–like all the tree humping pedophiles that act like raping gorillas.

|When less is better: the safety and efficacy of reduced intensity gemcitabine in a difficult patient population with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23322519 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Treatment of elderly or poor performance status (PS) patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a debated topic. To evaluate the efficacy of a modified schedule of gemcitabine, 59 patients unfit for platinum were enrolled. Mean age was 75.8 years and 41 % of patients had an ECOG PS 2. Gemcitabine was given at 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8 each 28. Most of patients received gemcitabine as first-line chemotherapy, which was continued as maintenance over 6 cycles in responding and stable patients. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 7.2 and 5 months. In those 45 evaluable patients, treatment resulted in 1 complete remission (CR), 9 partial remissions (PR), and 20 stable diseases (SDs) with a response rate (CR + PR) of 22 % and a clinical benefit (CR + PR + SD) of 68 %. Gemcitabine was continued over 6 cycles in 16 patients (27 %). These patients were treated until progression with a mean of further 8.6 cycles. Median OS and PFS in these selected patients were 19 and 16 months. The toxicity profile was excellent with only 8 % of overall G3-G4 adverse events. None of the 16 patients under the maintenance phase reported significant toxicity. Gemcitabine given at a lower dose intensity than standard should be considered as valuable therapeutic option in elderly or poor PS patients with advanced NSCLC unfit for platinum. Extending the treatment beyond 6 cycles in responding patients is feasible and may prolong survival.

A couple weekends ago, I had the privilege of attending a performance of STOMP at Ball State's Emens Auditorium. It was such an incredible performance! I was expecting the show to be good, with clever routines and great rhythms. It definitely delivered on all of those aspects, but also on humor too! It was a show without speech, but still had hilarious antics by the performers.
Shows like this are some of the benefits of being a college student. Just in the last year and a half, I have seen major shows like The Color Purple, Legally Blonde, Beauty and the Beast, and STOMP. My friends have even been to concerts like Skillet and Luke Bryan. All on a student's budget! Check out Emens Auditorium's website for more information about upcoming shows and concerts.

Beckley officers go
above and beyond
On Sunday, Aug. 18, three officers of the Beckley Police Department came to the rescue of a young lady and her three small children.
While operating her van on Robert C. Byrd Drive near the Veteran's Hospital, she had a flat tire and was barely able to get her vehicle off of the roadway.
Cpl. Frank Priddy, Cpl. Jamie Wilhite and Cpl. Justin Hudnall came to her rescue.
They stood out in the pouring rain to direct traffic around the vehicle, and Wilhite even got on his stomach on the wet ground to get the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.
They stayed with this young lady and her three small children and even changed the flat tire.
These officers went above and beyond the call of duty and should be commended for their kindness and service.
I wasn't able to thank them at the time, but I want them to know how much their kindness meant to all involved.
They did not hesitate to stop and get out in the nasty weather conditions to help someone in need.
The City of Beckley Police Department should be proud to count these fine men among its officers.
Also, on Aug. 2, my granddaughter witnessed an unknown police officer in an unmarked black Dodge Charger save two dogs from being hit and killed on the same roadway.
This officer stood on the side of the busy road keeping the two frightened dogs out of traffic until they could be rescued.
When most people would have looked the other way and kept going, this officer stopped and kept two innocent dogs from being struck and killed.
We should all be proud to call these fine men our police officers.
They are not only great officers, but also great people who go out of their way to help whenever they are needed.
On behalf of myself and my family, thank you for all that you do.
Jack Williams

On Monday, Google announced that it is testing a new form of advertisement related to hotel prices on Google Maps. The way it works is that if you're searching for hotels, you can enter in your stay dates and the prices will be displayed next to the results.
Click on the price, and you get a list of advertisers who have provided Google with pricing info for that particular hotel. In the example shown below, you can see the search results for hotels near New York, NY.
The price shown for the first result – Hotel Penn, is $129. Click on the price, and it gives you the option of clicking through to either Expedia or Priceline, both showing the same price.
Google made it clear in their announcement that this is being tested out as a new way of showing sponsored results, and will not affect or impact in any way how hotels are listed on Google maps.
Quote – "Google Maps ranks business listings based on their relevance to the search terms entered, along with geographic distance (where indicated) and other factors, regardless of whether there is an associated price."
Also to be noted that this feature has been made available only to a small number of users, and Google is working with a limited number of advertisers. If the test is successful, then you can expect to see a wider rollout.
One thing for sure, though. This ends all speculation about whether and when Google is entering the travel vertical. It's disguised as just one more form of advertisement, but if this hotel price display gets a full rollout, Google will in effect be competing for the same space currently occupied by some online travel companies – and Bing.

HSCN: Quinn Niego Making a Name for Himself at Brother Rice
There isn't much Brother Rice senior Quinn Niego can't do on the basketball court.
Whether it's handling the ball, passing the ball, providing a pick or crashing the boards, the 6-3 senior has a knack for getting things done.
He's old school in that regard.
Niego can also put the ball in the basket, ranking among the area's top 10 scorers with an average of 19 points per game.
On Jan. 14, he dropped in a career-high 31 points during a victory over Nazareth.
The scary thing? Brother Rice coach Rick Harrigan thinks Niego's best days are ahead of him.

A juicy beefsteak and sauteed mushrooms go together perfectly – especially when you add a great sauce to the mix.
Make that steak a filet mignon, add a zip sauce, top it off with a tangy blue cheese and you've got a combo that's irresistible.
Today's recipe mixes up sauteed mushrooms with some fresh green beans and my version of a zip sauce, a hearty sauce that enhances the beef's flavor.
Another plus: It keeps the mess to a minimum because it uses the same skillet to cook the beef, mushrooms and sauce.
Just make sure the skillet is oven-proof.
Using a skillet to sear the filets first is a way to ensure a crusty exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Finishing them off in the oven provides low and slow constant heat.
Another option is to grill the filets over a high heat and then move them to a cooler part of the grill to finish the cooking. When grilling, you'll need to make the sauce separately, keeping in mind it won't have any of those flavorful beefy pan juices or little bits of food that are packed with flavor.
BEEF FILET WITH BLUE CHEESE AND ZIP SAUCE 4 beef tenderloin filets, 2 inches thick and about 5 ounces each
Salt and pepper
Favorite steak seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
2 cups fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup sherry
1/2-1 cup fat-free beef broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or Maggi Seasoning (see note)
cup reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles
Note: Maggi Seasoning is an all-purpose sauce used to enhance flavors of sauces, soups and stews. Look for it in the condiment aisle.
Season the beef filets on both sides with salt and pepper and, if using, steak seasoning. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large, oven-proof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, add the beef filets (don't crowd them) and sear on both sides about 2 minutes or until well-browned.
Transfer the skillet to the oven to finish the cooking, about 12-15 minutes for medium rare, depending on the thickness. Remove from the oven and transfer the filets to a platter and keep warm.
Carefully using the same skillet (the handle will be hot), place it over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Add the mushrooms and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and saute 2 minutes until they are just crisp tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet to a plate.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add the sherry and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add the beef broth, balsamic vinegar and any of the juices from the platter. Bring to a boil and reduce until slightly thickened.
To serve, place a filet on a plate, top with a tablespoon of blue cheese and a serving of the mushrooms and beans. Drizzle with the zip sauce. 374 calories (55 percent from fat ), 23 grams fat (8 grams sat. fat ), 9 grams carbohydrates, 31 grams protein, 385 mg sodium, 92 mg cholesterol, 2 grams fiber.Makes 4 servings Preparation time: 15 minutes / Total time: 40 minutes From and tested by Susan M.

It is impossible for man in isolation from his fellows, to show forth the image of God in the fullest sense. He must have communion with other men, in the family, in the society, and ultimately in the Church, if he is to glorify the Triune God Who is in Himself a holy community of love and fellowship.–Steve Wilkins

Newbigin on the Mission of the Church
The mission of the Church is to be understood, can only be rightly understood, in terms of the trinitarian model. It is the Father who holds all things in his hand, whose providence upholds all things, whose tender mercies are over all his works, where he is acknowledged and where he is denied, and who has never left himself without witness to the heart and conscience and reason of any human being. In the incarnation of the Son he made known his nature and purpose fully and completely, for in Jesus "all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" (Col. 1:19). But this presence was a veiled presence in order that there might be the possibility of repentance and freely given faith. In the Church the mission of Jesus is continued in the same veiled form. It is continued through the presence and active working of the Holy Spirit, who is the presence of the reign of God in foretaste. The mission of the Church to all nations, to all human communities in all their diversity and in all their particularity, is itself the mighty work of God, the sign of the inbreaking of the kingdom. The Church is not so much the agent of the mission as the locus of the mission. It is God who acts in the power of his Spirit, doing might works, creating signs of a new age, working secretly in the hearts of men and women to draw them to Christ. When they are so drawn, they become part of a community which claims no masterful control of history, but continues to bear witness to the real meaning and goal of history by a life which – in Paul's words – by always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus becomes the place where the risen life of Jesus is made available for others (2 Cor. 4:10).

Derek Webb on the Gospel and Community
Derek Webb, on the CD The House Show talks about community and the gospel as he introduces the song Nobody Loves Me. He talks about the risk that we run as we enter into community with each other…
…which we necessarily are. We are called into community together. If you divorce the people of God, the local community, from the gospel, then it ceases to be the gospel. There is no other context for your faith as a Christian than to be in community with other people. I've heard a lot of people say to me over the years, "It's just me and Jesus, and that's all I need." Well, that's not the gospel in Scripture. If you're going to be those who claim to love Jesus, then you'll be compelled, and I'll be compelled to love the things that he loved. And he not only loved, but came and gave himself up for the church. And that makes it our concern as well. Continue reading
This Violence God Delights In…
… so says Tertullian, to which I add my pathetic agreement.
"We are a body knit together as such by a common religious profession, by unity of discipline, and by the bond of a common hope. We meet together as an assembly and congregation, that, offering up prayer to God as with united force, we may wrestle with Him in our supplications. This violence God delights in. We pray, too, for the emperors, for their ministers and for all in authority, for the welfare of the world, for the prevalence of peace, for the delay of the final consummation." ~ Apology
I completely ripped-off borrowed this from Peter Leithart. May it be a blessing to you.

God, Save Us.
God, save us from our disposition toward disunity and disintegration. Help us to see in our brother what is lacking in ourselves so that we may be more whole. Help us to not to look for ourselves in our brother, seeing our wickedness in him, charging him with our wickedness. Help us to seek Christ and to see Christ in our brother. Help us to be humble toward and grateful for our brother – for without humility and gratitude unity shall never be.
For the glory of your name and the expansion of your kingdom on earth. Amen.
Bonhoeffer on Singing
Singing the New Song
The prayers of the psalms and the reading of Scripture should be followed by the singing together of a hymn, this being the voice of the Church, praising, thanking, and praying.
"Sing unto the Lord a new song," the Psalter enjoins us again and again. It is the Christ-hymn, new every morning, that the family fellowship strikes up at the beginning of the day, the hymn that is sung by the whole Church of God on earth and in heaven, and in which we are summoned to join.

… or Break Fast.
I know, I know… But I am not a slave to my own fasting devices and will roger up when the Spirit moves me. I need to bring to your attention a couple of events that might (should) interest you.
First, our own Uriesou Brito is preparing for ordination and the laying on of hands shall occur at 6:30PM at Providence. We meet at Trinitas Christian School on Johnson Ave and if you need directions please go here: Trinitas.
This is also an opportunity for you to attend a Covenant Renewal Worship service without having to miss a Sunday at your church. Our service will be very similar to what we do every Lord's Day at Providence.
Second, and this is almost as exciting, we will be having a guest blogger in the next couple of weeks. I am still working on the details, but there will be a famous author and TV commentator stopping by our little backwater of a Blog to inject a comment or two (DV).
When I was on radio regularly I was able to interview the likes of John Stossel, Mark Steyn, Pat Buchannan and others. I also tried to pin down the controversial author who is planning on making an appearance here at The BasketTM, but it never came to pass. Like Joseph in the pit, I had no idea how God was going to work my disappointment in Radio for my audience's good, but now I see. What the author's publisher meant for evil*, God meant for good.
I shall not give you any more details, but stay tuned to The BasketTM for updates and the eventual posts.
al (the weak) sends
* The author's publisher is not evil nor were her scheduling difficulties necessarily a ploy of the Devil. I realize that Sean Hanity is bigger than me and I submit accordingly.
Christian myth and ritual shape the people of God, by the power of the Spirit, into conformity to Christ, creating within the Church a palpable aroma of love, peace, purity, joy, ministry, mission and forgiveness. That aroma spreads from the Church to the city around it.
But what has happened if Christians fail to produce this aroma? What can we say when the fruits of the Spirit are not evident? What can we say when it no longer seems that the Spirit catches up the Church into the love and mission of the Trinity?
Perhaps the Spirit has departed. Perhaps the Spirit has been grieved.
-Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, p.112
Learning the Language
"Several years ago, I happened to be visiting my parents when a longtime friend of my mother died. As I left the funeral, I spoke briefly to the woman's son and in parting said, 'The Lord be with you.' Without hesitation, he responded, 'And also with you.' We had not seen one another in nearly a decade, but in that moment our common training in the Lutheran liturgy gave us words to say – Christian words – words of comfort and encouragement in the face of death.
"Our common training in the liturgy had taught us, in that moment at least, to speak Christianly."
-Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, p.68
It is certainly the duty of a Christian man to ascend higher than merely to seek and secure the salvation of his own soul…If we wish to belong to Christ, let no man be anything for himself. But let us all be whatever we are for each other.
-John Calvin

We aim to instil in pupils an appreciation of how fascinating, creative, satisfying and useful Mathematics can be.
Staff and facilities
The department is staffed by 10 members of staff and occupies 10 full-size classrooms. The department is well supplied with computers, interactive whiteboards and other practical equipment.
How much time will I spend on this subject per 10 day cycle?
- Lower school – six lessons with up to two hours of homework
- GCSE – five lessons with two hours of homework
- A-level – 10 lessons with additional individual study
Are pupils put into sets according to ability?
All pupils accepted for Stockport Grammar School have passed a stringent mathematical examination.
For the first two years, the pupils are taught in randomly chosen groups. At the beginning of the Third Year, however, there is a noticeable spread of ability. Although all pupils have a sufficient level of competency, there seems no upper limit to the ability of a significant number of our intake. Therefore it is our policy to set according to mathematical progress from the Third Year onwards. Transfer between sets is possible at the end of each subsequent year.
Gifted pupils
All the teachers in the Mathematics department are experienced in dealing with gifted pupils, and every year Stockport Grammar attracts a significant number of particularly able boys and girls. Puzzle club has lunchtime meetings that are relaxed but thought-provoking. The textbooks we use go well beyond public examination syllabuses, and we have a wealth of challenging material for those who make outstanding progress.
Each year we hold inter-form team competitions with the winners going on to represent the school in a national event. The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) organises annual mathematics challenges for junior, intermediate and senior age groups and we enter large numbers of candidates, many of whom are invited to take part in follow-up rounds. The UKMT runs a mentoring scheme for truly exceptional pupils, and teachers in the department supervise individuals working from problem sheets.
Mathematics in the lower school
We hope pupils will settle into the school quickly, and at first we will revise a number of topics, like fractions and decimals, which pupils will have covered at Junior School. However, for all pupils who need minimal revision, we have lots of extension material, puzzle sheets and investigations, to keep everyone stimulated and stretched. Very soon, however, we launch into the teaching of algebraic techniques. Greater importance is placed on the ability to explain how answers are produced rather than what the answers actually are. Much time is spent on the clear, concise and logical presentation of solutions.
The use of calculators is not encouraged until midway through the Second Year, because we expect our pupils to be very good at mental and pencil-and-paper arithmetic.
Our Sixth Formers take the OCR Mathematics course. This comprises of six units which make up one A-level, four of which must be Pure Maths. The other two are selected from units in Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete Maths.
It is recommended that all students taking Maths at A-level have a grade A or A* at GCSE. The vast majority of candidates at Stockport Grammar School are in this category, which enables us to make fast progress and teach beyond the syllabus.
Further Maths
It is possible to study two A-levels in Maths. One could be called Single Maths and the second Further Maths. Twelve different units must be chosen in total from the following options: seven Pure, four Mechanics, four Statistics and two Discrete modules. Further Maths should not be found more difficult than any other subject, but having gone into such depth, the student should not encounter difficulty with Single Maths.
Maths at university
Maths is a versatile subject and affords a sound training in a logical discipline. Those wishing to read Maths and most forms of Engineering at university are advised to study both Maths and Further Maths at A-level. Pupils who have studied Further Maths in the past have gone on to read subjects such as Maths, Engineering, IT, Chemistry and Economics. A number of students are prepared for entrance to Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Oxford requires prospective Maths, Computer Science and Physics candidates to sit formal Maths entrance examinations. The Cambridge Colleges make use of their Sixth Term Entrance Papers (STEP) for Maths candidates.
What else goes on?
We regularly have pupils who qualify for the British Mathematical Olympiad at junior, intermediate and senior levels. We provide encouragement in school for suitable candidates. For several years now we have had representatives in the UK national squad and one has made the team itself. The junior competition provides a challenge for the brightest pupils in the first two years. There are open help sessions after school twice weekly for any Sixth Form pupils who need extra help. There are also drop-in lunchtime help sessions once a week for lower school pupils. All pupils are encouraged to see their teacher for any extra help or explanations they need.
Puzzle club is open to all First and Second Year pupils. Activities are designed to suit all abilities and interests and range from solving riddles, playing strategy games and finding your way through maddening mazes to more creative activities such as making fractals, drawing curves of pursuit, making pop-up cards and even plaiting polyhedra.
See our extracurricular activities page for full details of our extensive programme of co-curricular activities throughout the Senior School.

More South Africa Practical Travel Tips
South Africa's Economy and PoliticsEconomy: South Africa is a middle-income, emerging market with an abundant supply of natural resources; well-developed financial, legal, communications, energy, and transport sectors; a stock exchange that is 17th largest in the world; and modern infrastructure supporting an efficient distribution of goods to major urban centers throughout the region. However, unemployment remains high and outdated infrastructure has constrained growth. Daunting economic problems remain from the apartheid era - especially poverty, lack of economic empowerment among the disadvantaged groups, and a shortage of public transportation. South African economic policy is fiscally conservative but pragmatic, focusing on controlling inflation, maintaining a budget surplus, and using state-owned enterprises to deliver basic services to low-income areas as a means to increase job growth and household income.
History/Politics: Dutch traders landed at the southern tip of modern day South Africa in 1652 and established a stopover point on the spice route between the Netherlands and the East, founding the city of Cape Town. After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902); however, the British and the Afrikaners, as the Boers became known, ruled together under the Union of South Africa. In 1948, the National Party was voted into power and instituted a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The first multi-racial elections in 1994 brought an end to apartheid and ushered in black majority rule under the African National Congress (ANC). ANC infighting, which has grown in recent years, came to a head in September 2008 after President Thabo Mbeki resigned. Kgalema Motlanthe, the party's General-Secretary, succeeded as interim president until general elections scheduled for 2009.

New Jersey moves on .50 caliber gun ban following Dix arrests
Because criminals register their weapons...
...opportunistic little lawmuckers, eh?
New Jersey moves on .50 caliber gun ban following Dix arrests
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) New Jersey moved Thursday toward becoming the second state to outlaw the powerful .50 caliber rifle that critics contend could potentially be used in terrorist attacks.
The guns, which resemble large hunting rifles, are accurate up to 1 1/2 miles and critics contend they could be used to penetrate an airliner or ignite chemical plants, rail tanks cars and refineries.
California is the only state with a similar law.
Legislation that would make New Jersey follow suit was released Thursday by an Assembly committee and can now be considered by the full Assembly.
The ban is getting renewed attention after federal investigators this week announced they had foiled an alleged terrorist plot by six men who were planning to attack Fort Dix.
"As unnerving as the Fort Dix terrorism plot was, it could have been all the more worse if the weapons of choice for alleged assailants had been .50 caliber assault guns instead of AK-47s," said Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, D-Mercer.
The six men arrested Monday night allegedly tried to buy AK-47 assault weapons, M-16s and other weapons from a government informant.
The bill is opposed by gun rights advocates who claim it would do nothing to stem gun violence.
"Gun bans will not stop a criminal intent on doing harm, because the criminal mind will always find another tool," said Scott L. Bach, president of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. "This feel-good legislation disarms only responsible citizens and does nothing to prevent crime."
The bill would include .50-caliber weapons in the same law that bans explosive devices. Violators would face up to five years in prison and a fine up to $15,000. The proposal would exempt antique guns and traditional rifles that fire a single shot. It would also allow people who own a .50-caliber weapon before the law takes effect to keep their weapon.
Man when will these idiots learn that bad guys will get guns no matter what.Just because your sign off after you're shift is done, doesn't mean that it's over and put blinders on. You're a cop 24/7 wether you like it or not. If thats something you can't handle, you should find a new line of work!
Since when does making something (else) illegal stop a criminal whose intent is to commit a crime anyway?
What is it about common sense that makes it so uncommon?
Idiocy reigns supreme, especially among the over-educated.
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."
- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly. - Lovelace
The opinions expressed by this poster are wholly his own, and should never be construed to even remotely be in representation of his employer, its agencies or assigns. In fact, they probably fail to be in alignment with the opinions of any rational human being.
They want all your guns, then control over your health care, your employment, your pension, your personal finances, and the minds of your children. They are taking advantage of an opportunity to act as your "protector", like a wofl under a sheepskin. They know better and you dont have the right to disagree with them.
It's politely called socialism. Party loyalty before the Nation All things occur thru the generosity of the State, you should rely on the State to solve your problems, big and small. You must think as the State wants you to think, there will be consequences for those who do not.
Any questions will be answered by the Kommissar in your freight car during your ride to the Gulag.Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.-- Anonymous
Old People, like me, may not be around to witness the destruction of our Nation. The rest of you may not survive the collapse. We all have the sworn duty to prevent it.
The light of hope burns brighter than the fires of doom.

I bought the CSI5 as my center, a pair of RTI8s for my front speakers, and a pair of RTI4s as my rear surround speakers.
Now my wife wants to decorate and I'm losing the location for my RTI4s.
Can you recommend which In Ceilings would best match my RTI8/CSI5 setup?

Twitter API can be used to manage your twitter account, post new status and almost everything that you can do with twitter. I have been working on a twitter plugin for WordPress "Kish Twit Pro" which can be used to manage your twitter account from your WordPress Blog. To use this application, you need to register this in your name with twitter. You can give a name to your application and the URL of your blog. You might have noticed that every twitter status update has the source mentioned like Web, API, Twitterfeed, etc. Instead of these, I think, you would be more happy to see your name with a link to your blog on all your twitter status updates. Registering a new application is very simple, just login to Twitter and go to Twitter Apps and fill up the form
In the application name, fill up the name that you would like to register, give some description. In the Application website, you can fill up your blog URL. If you are going to use "Kish Twit Pro", you have fill the callback URL as shown in the application settings and the type of application will be "Browser". Default access type will be "Read Write" and "Use Twitter for Login"
Hurry up, register your twitter application before somebody takes off your Brand Name. Initially, your application will have a API limit of 150 requests per hour, but may be within 72 hours your application gets white listed and your limits will be increased to 20,000. If not you can send a request to twitter to increase your limit

Ella Henderson and George Shelley have been rumoured to be dating pretty much since The X Factor live shows began.
Ella Henderson and George Shelley are totes just friends. Copyright [Rex]However, neither Ella Henderson or George Shelley have confirmed whether they're an item.
[Related article: Ella and George - are they a couple?]
[Related gallery: X Factor fash-off, Nicole Vs Tulisa]
But these new pictures of their glowing faces and beaming smiles are pretty telling.
We're no experts and we don't know much about body language, but the way they're gazing into each other's eyes and beaming in each other's faces seems to scream RELATIONSHIP.
Ella and George looked full of smiles as they set off for Paris. Copyright [Rex]The X Factor pair were out and about, heading off to Disneyland Paris to film scenes for this week's X Factor.
Hang on a sec. Rewind. Disneyland PARIS? The city of luurve?!
George Shelley looked cute in his little Christmas jumper, and Ella looked as gorgeous as ever in a navy blue duffle coat with gold buttons.
This is the closest we've come to actually seeing the pair together as a couple.
Ella and George are apparently open about their romance behind the scenes. Copyright [Rex]Over the weekend, an X Factor source suggested that they've given up trying to hide their relationship behind the scenes.
The source said: "Ella and George are the sweetest couple. It's so lovely to see them together now they're not denying it."
"They are thrilled they've both got far enough to get on the tour. It means they can spend more time together next year."
We genuinely believe they make the cutest couple. And we reckon they could rival Perrie and Zayn in the cutest-X-Factor-pairing-ever stakes.

This is the first time I ever used a speaker like this. Moved into a smaller place, and wanted to save space. I was surprisingly shocked of how well it sounded. Guitars, vocals and other instruments sounded very real and familiar. Movies sounded amazing. I was shocked on how clear the dialogue was. My wife appreciated the slim, sleek design and the lack of clutter it provided. I love the detail and overall clarity. The only thing I would recommend is using the sound bar with a subwoofer. This was not made for hitting lows, but will blend well with them.

The GOP Roadblock to Repairs
Congress is at a standstill while it admires our crumbling infrastructure.
In 2005, the World Economic Forum ranked America's infrastructure Number 1 in the world for "economic competitiveness." Only eight short years later, the U.S. occupies 14th place. Instead of leading our global competitors in planning, staying current and building a transportation system for the 21st century, we have continued to invest at the same rate (in real inflation-adjusted dollars) as we did in 1968.
By way of example, Canada spends 4 percent of its GDP on transportation, investment and maintenance, with China spending 9 percent. The U.S. spends only 1.7 percent.
More than 69,000 of America's bridges are deemed structurally deficient, more than 11 percent of all the bridges in our country. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. would need to invest $3.6 trillion between now and 2020 just to keep its infrastructure in "good" repair.
As a nation, our cities have become more congested, our commutes more delayed and our companies less productive. According to UPS, five minutes of daily delay for its trucks adds up to $100 million lost annually.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
President Obama has long understood that investments made to our nation's infrastructure will create jobs here in America that can't be outsourced or replaced overseas. Interestingly, this is the same dynamic that has united two bitter enemies, the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, around their mutual quest to see Congress appropriate more funding for infrastructure projects.
Even Republicans seem to understand the need, or at least they have indicated so at times. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said, "Everybody knows we have a crumbling infrastructure. Infrastructure spending is popular on both sides. The question is how much are we going to spend." Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., once claimed, "If you're a Republican and you want to create jobs, then you need to invest in infrastructure that will allow us to create jobs."
This week, President Obama proposed to cut corporate taxes and to invest in infrastructure projects to boost American jobs, all while being "revenue neutral." These are concepts that have been championed by Republicans in the past, but generally ignored in recent times.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
Unfortunately, true to form, the GOP backlash was immediate, claiming Obama's plan offered them no concessions at all. McConnell said on the floor, "The plan, which I just learned about last night, lacks meaningful bipartisan input," and thus will he oppose it. As the president suggested in a recent interview with the New York Times, "there's almost a kneejerk habit right now that if I'm for it, then they've [Republicans in congress] got to be against it."
So, once again, Congress is at a standstill while it admires our nation's crumbling infrastructure. Seemingly, Republican leadership would rather put up roadblocks than work with the president to build and restore some of our nation's fundamental structural needs to remain economically competitive – operative roads, bridges, dams, levees and rails. There are only 61 days left before the next government shutdown and nine legislative working days on the calendar in September. This limited time and opportunity will require leaders from both sides to step forward and work efficiently to pass the necessary legislation to get this country back on track.
Perhaps, while members of Congress are away in August, they will actually remember what they were for before they were against it.

The Daily Item
MIDDLEBURG — Second-degree murder, conspiracy and burglary charges will stand against Jennifer Snook for last February's fatal stabbing of an elderly Beaver Township woman.
Snyder County Judge Michael T. Hudock upheld the charges after reviewing a transcript of the preliminary hearing and determining there was sufficient evidence.
Snook, 29, of Sunbury, is charged as an accomplice with her husband, Joshua Snook, 28, in the Feb. 17 slaying of his 71-year-old grandmother, Bonnie Snook. His grandfather, Dale Snook, survived the assault.
The young couple are accused of traveling to Joshua Snook's grandparents home late at night to retrieve a gun they allegedly planned to use to confront a man he had argued with in a Northumberland County bar earlier that evening.
Authorities allege that Joshua Snook broke into his grandparent's house, where his 9-year-old son from a prior relationship was also staying, to get the weapon and ended up assaulting the elderly couple.
Bonnie Snook died from a stab wound to the throat. Dale Snook was cut on the arm.
Joshua Snook faces nearly two dozen charges, including criminal homicide and aggravated assault. Both Snooks remain in custody awaiting trial.

I have even been using the baby wash in the shower.
I have been preaching to everyone that will listen about how great your products are and have a converted a lot of the mums here at work.
Thank you very much for your fantastic products, it is nice to have the peace of mind that I'm not use nasty, harsh chemicals on my beautiful little children.
I wish you every success.

Saul Steinberg: Illuminations
Saul Steinberg (19141999), an artist whose magic lit up the pages and covers of The New Yorker for six decades, was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition. Saul Steinberg: Illuminations featured more than one hundred drawings, collages, and sculptural assemblages by the artist whom many regard as not only a comic genius but among the greatest draftsmen of the modern era. The exhibition was the first full-scale review of his career, from the 1930s to the 1990s, and was organized by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College.
Steinberg is best known for his work for The New Yorker, including his widely adapted 1976 rendering of a New Yorker's view of the world. The exhibition brought to light the prolific and diverse activity for which Steinberg was celebrated from the time he arrived in New York in 1942. Having studied architecture in Milan, where he gained early fame as a cartoonist, in America Steinberg became a propagandist, illustrator, fabric and card designer, muralist, fashion and advertising artist, stage designer, and tireless creator of image-jammed books. Until his decision, in the 1960s, to concentrate his efforts on gallery art and The New Yorker, Steinberg's sleek, barbed, inventive line was seenand mimickedeverywhere from highbrow journals to Christmas cards, disseminating the look of modernism to a popular atomic-age audience.
The exhibition featured rarely seen works from the collections of private lenders and the Saul Steinberg Foundation. The catalogue for Saul Steinberg: Illuminations, published by Yale University Press, features an introduction by poet and critic Charles Simic and an essay, chronology, and object entries by Joel Smith. The volume's more than three hundred illustrations include color plates of works in the exhibition and many sketches, never before seen, from the Saul Steinberg Papers at Yale University.
After the Morgan, the exhibition traveled to the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. (April 6June 24, 2007), and the Cincinnati Art Museum (July 20, 2007September 20, 2007) before concluding at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College (November 2, 2007February 24, 2008).
Concurrent with the Steinberg retrospective at The Morgan Library & Museum is a thematic exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York, A City on Paper: Saul Steinberg's New York.
This exhibition was organized by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York, with support from the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation.

PLATTSBURGH — Drugged-driving arrests have risen 35 percent in New York since 2001.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer recently drew attention to the increase, while noting that the total number of arrests lags far behind drunk-driving arrests.
Many police departments don't have the technology to detect drugged drivers at traffic stops, like a Breathalyzer does with a drunk driver, Schumer said in a news release.
That, paired with the delayed disorientation a drugged driver shows compared to a drunk driver, makes it difficult for officers to identify people under the influence of narcotic drugs.
Schumer is calling for a passing of legislation to help with the problem.
The bill he is proposing — called the Motor Vehicle and Highway Safety Improvement Act of 2011 — would provide funding that allows the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to develop technologies that would help officers identify those driving under the influence of drugs.
It would also provide money to train officers on how to spot the signs of a drugged motorist.
"Drugged driving is on the rise, and our cops need state-of-the-art equipment and better training to identify and apprehend those who are putting innocent victims at risk as a result of reckless driving," Schumer said in the release.
The legislation would also award grants to states to allow officers to become drug-recognition experts through 200 hours of training or undergo lesser training through the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driver Education program.
According to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice, 23 drivers were caught under the influence of drugs in 2011 in Clinton County, up from 2009, when there were 10.
In Franklin County, three drugged-driving arrests were made in 2009, 10 in 2010 and nine in 2011.
For Essex County, the numbers are small but actually declined: six in 2009 and seven in 2010, then two in 2011.
