According to reading educators, students can improve their SOL (Standards of Learning) scores by increasing their non-fiction reading.
Story here from the The Virginian Pilot
Douglas Reeves, founder of the Center for Performance Assessment, a national education organization, believes nonfiction reading and writing drives improvement on tests,
and laments an "overexposure" to fiction, that presumably leaves students "ill-equipped to absorb facts."
In her capacity as an international reading advocate, beloved Australian children's author Mem Fox shares a few thoughts on how children develop a love of reading.
As the second most literate country (next to Finland), Australia can boast about the number of children reading for pleasure (68%) and the significant number of boys that enjoy reading. Fox discounts the new government regulations that will allow extra reading credits for children that don't pass required tests in primary school as a cart-before-the-horse remedy; instead, she insists that reading aloud from birth to age three is what is most critical in developing a love of books.
A Washington Post Story, via The Detroit News, says the reading wars are heating up again, fueled by a scramble for $6 billion in federal money.
The reading methods practiced in P.S. 172 have won the enthusiastic approval of the chancellor of the New York City school system, Joel Klein, who embraced them last year as a model.
But they have been denounced as "unscientific� by reading experts for the Bush administration, who advocate a much greater emphasis on phonics, the repetitive sound drills viewed by some educators as the key to early reading progress.
The dispute has become a test case for the implementation of President Bush's ambitious Reading First initiative, which aims to help every child in the country become a successful reader.
Without the federal government's seal of approval, New York's reading program is ineligible for federal subsidies.
nbruce writes:
While tracking down something else, I came across an interesting article in the Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, Vol. 40, no.3, and it is on-line at Virginia Polytech. It is on "informal learning� and wasn't exactly what I expected to find. The study involved analyzing the advice experienced teachers would give first year teachers--i.e., what they had more or less learned from experience, not training.
The simulation work exercise asked participants to imagine that they have won the lottery and are leaving their current position. They have decided to write a memo to their successor containing their best piece of advice on how to survive in the job: what they know now that they wish someone had told them as they began their work in this position. Subjects worked individually and then in a group to place the advice into categories: instrumental, emotional, and political.
Because of the statistical tables and the literature review, this article is a cut above the "how I did it good� articles that we all find so helpful, but which journals don't want to publish. Although written about and for trade and industrial education teachers, I think it would be useful for anyone in teaching, and in education in general. The political advice in the article is standard, but priceless for a first year person in any field, including librarianship. I wish I'd had something similar years ago in the library field--and perhaps there is something out there about informal learning and librarians. I haven't searched the LIS literature on this topic.
Studies show that FCAT scores up at schools with good libraries.
Good media centers mean better scores on the FCAT, according to a recent study. And yet media specialists are often overworked and inadequately compensated. With either claim, is this really the case? Read the full story and come to your own conclusions. Share them with all of us!
Librarians have long believed they provide more to their youngest patrons than a good time and an engaging story. Now they have more data to prove it.
A study of two dozen library literacy efforts released yesterday at the Public Library Association's conference in Seattle concluded that such programs motivate parents to spend more time reading to babies and preschoolers and helping them learn about letters, words and books.
slashgirl writes 'Ontario's North is being flooded with more books than Lieutenant-Governor James Bartleman ever dreamed of, as Ontarians' donations to native children approaches one million tomes.' Article is here.
At their recent meeting in Boston, the American Dialect Society named "metrosexual" "manscaping" and "flexitarian" as the newest words in the American lexicon. Story from the Seattle Times
According to the article, gay culture had a prominent impact on our verbiage last year. TV's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" spawned "zhuzh," which means to fluff up or primp. Hip-hop brought us the suffix "izzle" as in "televizzle" and "wait a minizzle." "Bling bling," as in flashy jewelry, has been clipped to "bling." Note to spell-checkers everywhere: better add these words to your lexicon!
From BBC news comes responses to a poll showing Britons knowlege and/or ignorance of popular culture and classic literature, including Wordsworth and Shakespeare. When asked to complete the line "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your..." from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, some people said swords or money rather than ears, but 71% knew that "the power of the dark side" was spoken by Darth Vader.
The ResourceShelf Dude, Gary D. Price, sent along an Interesting One out of Australia where Labor leader Mark Latham has promised every new-born child in Australia three free books in a $35 million pledge to improve childhood learning.
More parenting classes, adult-literacy education and screening for hearing and sight problems for all children at birth would also feature under a Labor federal government, he told the ALP national conference yesterday.
"This is a program that looks to the future, and invests in the future of young Australians," Mr Latham said.

Thank you to the 29 individuals who volunteered to donate blood Tuesday at Hodgenville Woman's Club. A double thanks to those who donated using the "double red" procedure. We received 24 good units of blood.
Thanks to Becky Loyall and Rob Brown for working at the drive.
The community blood drive will return Dec. 14.

Each October, the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities and its member and affiliate institutions mark Christian Higher Education Month.
House Resolution 300 in June 2003 declared the special month, which celebrates the role of Christ-centered colleges in America's history and in students' lives.
Campbellsville University, located in south central Kentucky, is one of those colleges.
Samuel Slayton of St. Vivian Church, Boy Scout Troop 682, in Cincinnati has attained the rank of Eagle Scout. He joins the ranks of 35 other Eagle Scouts from Troop 682 in its 53-year history at St. Vivian. Fewer than three percent of all boys who enter Scouting achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
To become an Eagle, a candidate must demonstrate leadership skills in his Troop and in a community service project. For his project, Slayton chose to build an 130 foot fence addition to Farbach-Warner Nature Reserve in Colerain Township, Ohio.
Incumbent Mayor Terry Cruse defeated challenger Rita Williams by 148 votes Tuesday to reclaim the top seat in Hodgenville for a second term.
Looking for token clues
A friend was searching through his pocket change for a soda and noticed a token from H.M. Bloyds Café, Hodgenville, in the mix. Him, knowing I am a life long resident of Hodgenville, gave it to me. I asked my mother, who will celebrate her 87th birthday this year, about it and she didn't have any recollection of the business.
The Hodgenville Main Street Renaissance Association will be promoting a "Shop At Home" theme for this year's holiday retail promotion. The promotion is Nov. 5-7 with businesses offering extended hours.
Main Street will offer shoppers a chance to win a basket of goodies from each participant. Just visit participating stores and sign up for the drawing. The goodie baskets will appear in Main Street's Christmas window at The Lincoln Museum Community Room until the drawing at noon Nov. 8 at the Main Street office.
What better way to learn about Kentucky history than to visit places where history was made?
Fifth grade students from Abraham Lincoln Elementary School will observe some of that history first-hand Friday when they visit Fort Harrod and a Civil War Museum in Harrodsburg.
The employees of Waste Transport Service wore pink T-shirts on Oct. 21 and 25 in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of the employees have a relative or loved one that has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In honor of those affected, a donation was made to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
Main Street's Annual Festival of Trees will take entries for a few more days.
This is a fun way for an organization, a business, a church or individual to make money for a non-profit cause. We'll take trees of almost any size including table trees, plus wreaths, centerpieces, banners and more.
We don't guarantee results, but last year every single item was sold in the silent auction.

The citizen formerly known as New Zealand's biggest/only Clippers fan. I'm now living in my wife's hometown down in Orange County.
Kaman on Sterling: "I think as he's getting older, he's realizing, 'Hey, I don't know how much time I have left' -- or whatever it is -- 'I'm older.' You can't win in the grave... No, I'm serious. I think he's almost 80 years old. I think he's seeing, 'Hey, I'm getting older, I'm not getting any younger, I want to win,'"
Kevin Arnovitz, Jovan Buha, Chad Ford, Marc Stein and (a seemingly one-eyed) Darius Soriano compare the Lakers and Clippers.
""The focus is sometimes not on the court," coach Phil Jackson has said. "It's on the people in the crowd." Which explains why eight box suites were recently combined into an offshoot of an abominable nightclub, the Hyde Lounge. After VIPs pass a clipboard gauntlet—at a sports stadium—they can eat $21 nachos at a crocodile-skin bar while waiting for the space to transform into a postbuzzer dance club. When it's time to leave, a valet will even bring around their bandwagon."
"Davis is currently listed as questionable, but his team is confident he will be available." I hope he is available. We really need some more support at the point, especially with WW in Bakersfield.
No surprises there. "Griffin led all rookies in scoring (26.0 ppg), rebounding (13.4 rpg) and ranked second in assists (4.4 apg). He became only the fourth rookie over the last 20 seasons to average at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in a calendar month."
Great article about Blake. "If I'm going to see a regular-season game, I'll probably go see the Clippers," Barkley says in tribute to Griffin. "That's worth the price of admission. That's the kind of excitement he's bringing to the table." "His highlights are sick," Lakers forward Ron Artest says. "I hope he dunks on me. Would you buy that poster? I'd buy it and tell him to sign it." "I think he's terrific," the Lakers' Bryant says. "He's everything as advertised," says Malik Allen, a nine-year NBA veteran who plays for the Orlando Magic. "His energy is unbelievable, man. He's strong. He's quick. Plays fearless."
SI showing some love for Blake and listing the 'greatest rookies of all time.' "Few players enter the league and dominate from the start, but the handful that do leave lasting impressions. Take, for example, Blake Griffin, who currently leads all rookies in points and rebounds while also stringing together the longest rookie double-double streak since 1968. Even more impressive, Griffin has made Clippers games must-see TV with his highlight dunks and miraculous alley-oops."
"I experienced Denver playing at home, at its finest," said Clippers rookie Blake Griffin , at his laconic best. "It's tough, man. How many free throws did they shoot?" Reporters, in unison: "Fifty-nine." Chris Kaman , who played in his first game in more than three weeks because of a sprained left ankle, had more disheartening information for Griffin. Kaman: "To our 29." Griffin: "You know, that says it all right there. Fifty-nine to 29." Kaman: "What about Carmelo (Anthony) not having any fouls till..." Griffin: "Whatever. I'm not going to say anything."
"Severns' official title is assistant coach in charge of player development. He will also help with game planning and preparation for the Clippers."
From Lisa Dillman's twitter: Got this from Neil Olshey on T-Mac:"The workout and visit went well. Tracy (McGrady) will continue exploring his options and so will we." Continue exploring options, does that sound like a no-go on T-Mac?
"Del Negro said he's excited with his core of Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon and former No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin, as well as the free-agent additions of "character guys" like Randy Foye, Brian Cook and Ryan Gomes" Who isn't excited about Brian Cook.
"What the Clippers told him is, 'We know you, we've followed you for a lot of years,'" agent Panos Kapazoglou told HoopsHype. "There's no promise, but they've told him, "We will offer you a contract once we know exactly how much money we have left.'"
Wall's Washington Wizards beat Bledsoe's LA Clippers by 25 points, so who got the best of who? "You see," said Bledsoe. "I mean the score, it explains itself."
Looks like it might be Demopoulos and Severns. I think it'd be good if Kim stayed on to work with the players.
Jeff Pearlman amuses himself with a brutal rip on the Clippers.
Eh, this article makes me feel dirty. I'd like LeBron to come here, but not that way. At the end of the day I'm a Clippers fan.
Any word on when the Clippers are going to announce the new coach? Didn't they say that they would have a coach in place before Free Agency began, or are they just waiting for the thumbs up from LeBron?
Interesting article on what Hughes is up to. "Hughes said he got a call April 20, and was hooked in with Clippers owner Donald Sterling. "He said, 'Kim, why aren't you coming into work?''' Hughes recalled Sterling as saying in a phone hookup that also included Clippers president Andy Roeser. "I said, 'Well, I was terminated. When the organization tells you they're going in a different direction and tells you to turn in your (access card) and cell phone, I take it as being terminated."
Guess who is dead last? More hate from ESPN.
Looks like Blake is going to be answering questions over at ESPN.com on Tuesday. Clipsnation should do something like this with Brian Skinner or somebody. This would have to be the biggest Clipper fan site/blog on the net?
If only he'd listen..
Not sure how seriously to take a report like this, and it almost feels cruel to allow myself to dream about it, but wow... " An impeccable source reveals David Geffen is hot to buy 51 percent of the Clippers. Friday night, the billionaire co-founder of the zaftig film-making company, had dinner in Los Angeles with Donald Sterling to discuss just that. Anybody who knows Sterling can't imagine him selling controlling interest of anything he owns, much less turn over the decision-making of his showcase property. "He'll take the Clippers to the grave with him," is the considered opinion of one and all. "They're his entree to Hollywood's galaxy of stars. You have no idea how Donald gets off swaying on the sidelines with demi-celebrities 41 nights a year." For the sake of argument, surely Sterling must understand, by giving way to Geffen, his constellation, which often IS dying in the corner of the sky, would greatly illuminate and increase in value -- should the record-company big shot be able to recruit LeBron like he signed Bob Dylan and the Eagles. In fact, Geffen has been deep in the hunt for quite some time. My source claims he told Sterling he can deliver LeBron as long as he's calling the shots."
Eddie Maisonet's prediction that the Clippers will take Aminu and why.
The Blazers just signed Camby to a 2 year extension. Looks like he won't be coming back to the Clippers.
Now that the 09-10 season is over, I just wanted to thank Steve for all his work during the season - for the game previews, the recaps, the updates, the news and everything else in between. Some...
I posted this in ClipCat's fanpost, but I'll put it here in case anybody missed it and is interested. In hindsight it makes for a pretty funny read.
Is there a clippers chat room? If not, I don't mind setting something up. However I don't want to take away from posts on here, of course, as a chat room could inevitably do, but I thought it might...

The relationship between height and economic development in Spain. A historical perspective
AbstractThis paper investigates the relationship between height and economic development in Spain in the modern period. The relation is investigated using recently constructed times series with recruitment data of conscripts. We observed changes in average height along the analyzed period. These variations could be explained by different indicators of economic development such as consumption of hygiene products, the deflator of private consumption, income per capìta, schooling rate, infant mortality and trade (degree of openness). We model human stature as a Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) and we proceed to estimate a Vector Autoregressive Equilibrium Correction Model (VECqM) to quantify the height response to different changes in the different explanatory variables. The analysis shows that there is a long-°©‐run relationship between height, income, and other indicators of economic development in Spain as consumption of hygiene products, and the degree of openness

Home away from home!
Review submitted: May 13, 2014 Date of arrival: April 29, 2014
This cottage is cozy,comfortable, and you can clearly see the love and thought that went into making it a home. Bonnie and John are two of the nicest people we've met and they have absolutely thought of everything from covering a portion of the back deck so regardless of the weather you can still enjoy the brook and the view, to an abundance of firewood, to the games supplied to get back to having quality family time. The Hot tub was amazing and we used it several times, which was fantastic after a morning of hunting in the woods.
They left us a bottle of tasty local wine with a wonderful havarti cheese with dill (my new favorite) as well as coffee for the morning. We took Bonnie's advice on visiting some of the local wineries (Noble and Johnson) and stopped to view lake Erie which is amazing! I have to say that most of time i just wanted to sit in front of the fireplace and enjoy the serenity of the moment with a glass of wine.
From the trails to the stocked pond it didn't even matter to us that it did rain all week it's a perfect place that i fell in love with the moment we arrived! We've already booked two more weeks this year and will be returning year after year as long as they will have us!
I would definitely recommend this to friends and family!
Thank you so much Bonnie and John!

Owners response: This little house in the woods has been a refuge for family and friends since it was built in 1929. We have been fortunate to be able to keep it in the family since then and we truly enjoy sharing it's many wonderful qualities with others. Our guests have been some of the nicest people you could hope to meet and many of them have become friends who return each year.

Nice to Be Back
Review submitted: October 13, 2013 Date of arrival: September 17, 2013
We enjoyed our week at the cottage so much last year that we decided to come back again. Like before, everything we needed was provided and we had no troubles whatsoever. Such an amazing place to relax and unwind, and the weather was nice. Days spent enjoying the outdoors, evenings in the hot tub and star gazing. The leaves were just starting to show a hint of color as the seasons changed. On the cooler nights there was plenty of firewood to enjoy a fire. Bonnie and John will do everything they can to ensure your comfort and enjoyment! They don't miss any detail to make the cottage feel like home for you. Thanks for another wonderful visit!

Amazing Cottage with Amazing Hosts
Review submitted: October 2, 2013 Date of arrival: September 26, 2013
First of all, Bonnie and John are amazing. They treat as you are a family member. My girlfriend and I stayed from Sept. 26. - Sept 29th. It was the pefect time to see the fall colors starting to show.
The cabin was nice and cozy and very clean for being a cabin. The fireplace was great to sit and relax by. They provided everything you need to make you stay enjoyable. There is even a washer and dryer if you want to do some laundry before you head home.
The land and pond were great. There is plenty of hiking trails that are real easy to walk on. My one piece of advice would to wear hiking boots/shoes or an old pair of sneakers. Some of the trails were a little wet but still hikable. I saw a couple small mouth bass and plenty of blue gil in the pond if your kids want to go fishing. There was also a rope swing and zipline there too.
The location is perfect. It is out in the woods, but real easy to find. But it is close enough to everything else to make it very convienent.
Thank You Bonnie and John for an amazing vacation. It was just want I needed. We will definetly be back next year.

Everything we hoped for and more!
Review submitted: September 5, 2013 Date of arrival: August 26, 2013
My husband and I had the pleasure of renting John and Bonny's cottage for the week of August 26th - Sept. 2, 2013. What a wonderful time we had, very relaxing and extremely homey! It reminded me of my childhood and spending time at my grandma's house in PA. Everything we needed was supplied. All we had to do was bring our food and we were set to go. Our daughter and her family joined us for the last weekend and we simply had a fun, family-filled time. Our grandson, only 16 mths. just loved running freely on the well maintained grounds. Even our dog, Sam, enjoyed himself swimming in the pond and running freely. Thank you, John and Bonny for sharing this wonderful cottage with the rest of us! We will definately be making a return visit in the near future....

Bonnybrook Getaway from Heaven
Review submitted: May 3, 2013 Date of arrival: April 23, 2013
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, peaceful cottage. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The environment is so peaceful with every detail attended to. You can wake up in the morning in the loft bedroom and look out and watch a large grey squirrel jump 6 feet to a feeder from a tree and land on the feeder for his breakfast. The hot tub was a wonderful addition for every family member. The trails through the wooded areas are fun and refreshing. The fire place and wood stove create a wonderful warm ambience.
We received the warmest welcome with a fire in the fireplace, cheese and crackers and wonderful wine waiting for us. The owners also provided coffee that lasted the whole week. Way above and beyond. We plan to make this trip from Wyoming every year to stay at this quaint cottage for a peaceful break from our busy lives. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us.

Cozy place for couples and families
Review submitted: April 4, 2013 Date of arrival: March 29, 2013
We arrived at the property greeted by John and Bonnie with a fire burning, wine chilling and cheese/crackers served. (they even gave our dog a bag of treats and welcomed her into their home with open arms) I cant describe the property better than saying it has a little bit of everything for everyone. Trails for walking thru the woods, a grassy yard for playing outdoor games, a stream that you can hear from the deck, a lake for fishing/swimming/skating, & firepit right next to the lake for the starry nights. Unfortunately, we arrived to 8" of snow on the ground so we could not enjoy most of the outdoor things. What we could in fact enjoy was all the things offered indoors. They seemed to have thought of everything. Everything you need is there. From the original fireplace, to the soothing hot tub; the bag of tasty coffee to the split wood for the fire. This cottage takes you back to simpler times when you could enjoy each other and your family together, but if you opt to watch a movie or listen to XM music while playing 1 of many board/card games there, you can do that too. Like I said, this place a little bit of everything you would want for a couple or family. It is also very close to Chautauqua Lake activities. Thanks again Bonnie and John. Lisa, Myself and Corona(bark-bark) want to thank you for a great weekend. We will be back soon this time when the snow is gone.

The cottage was beautiful. we really appreciated all the xtra touches. They really seemed to have thought of everything. The wine, cheese, and coffee special was great. We loved the fireplace and all that all the wood was provided for us.
It was great to warm up in the hot after being outdoors.
The property is beautiful with the pond and lots of trails. It was fun to watch the birds and squirrels out the windows. It was just what we were looking for as a quiet getaway to celebrate our anniversary.

We arrived on Sunday and spent the next 6 days in heaven. We loved how warm and cozy the cottage was and the awesome deck out back. It was so relaxing watching the birds and squirrels feed on the feeder and the view was amazing. It was so nice and quiet and the hot tub was great to get in and relax. It was just cool enough to enjoy the fireplace, nothing better than a cozy fire to warm the room,and the wood was all provided,along with everything we needed to feel right at home. They,John and Bonnie thought of everything and their arrival gifts of wine and cheese was perfect. We enjoyed our stay so much we are making plans to return next year.if you love quiet days relaxing and enjoy the outdoors the Bonnie Brook cottage is what you are looking for.

Peaceful Retreat
Review submitted: October 6, 2012 Date of arrival: September 20, 2012
We had a great time during our week at BonnyBrook! We had no problems and everything we needed was available. The cottage is cozy and comfortable. We had fun fishing, swimming in the pond, exploring the well-marked trails, relaxing in the hot tub and watching the birds and cute red squirrels and chipmunks. The night sky out there was breathtaking fulk of endless stars. Living near the city I have not seen that many stars in years! The nearby town of Bemus Point is very cute with a great view of Chautauqua Lake. We were cozy on the cooler nights with a fire going and sitting on the very comfy couch, watching TV and there were plenty of DVDs and books for entertainment as well as board games. Bonnie and John were great hosts and because everything was explained to us and amenities available we did not need to contact them during our stay and we did not have any problems. We are likely to come again in the future!

Our Stay
Review submitted: September 23, 2012 Date of arrival: September 12, 2012
Since we grew up in the area and wife lived only miles away at one time, we were taken back at this great retreat--in a great setting--at a beautiful time of the year (mid September). Our cocker spaniel enyoyed the red squirrels and chipmunks that visited the spacious back deck with a great senic view. This location was convenient to Lakewood, Jamestown and all around the Lake without traffic problems. Minor problems dealt with instant resolve. Close to internet service at the local library (real nice staff). You will be glad you choose this
facility---we were.

Very relaxing and enjoyed by all including our guests. The lake and games kept all the kids busy while the adults enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful deck. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable. Any thing you needed Bonnie and John made sure it was there.
As soon as we pulled up, all we could think of was a beautiful swedish cottage with all the beautiful flowers. Relaxing on the deck we were entertained by all kinds of birds, hummingbirds, squirrels, chipmunks even saw deer and wild turkeys. We are so pleased that we found this place and want to thank Bonnie and John for sharing it with us. We will be back next year.

Top Notch Cottage and Amennities
Review submitted: August 21, 2012 Date of arrival: August 12, 2012
Where do we begin? This is a wonderful cottage with awesome amenities and is run by really great people. My wife and three young daughters loved it all!
We hiked the on-premise trails and swam, paddled, and fished at the pond. We enjoyed the hot tub and bird-watching on the large deck, playing the supplied outdoor games, and sitting at the campfire.
This cottage is very clean. It has all that you need for cooking in the kitchen or grilling out. The temperature range during our visit allowed us to be comfortable with use of the fireplace (with supplied starter and wood) and the furnace at night. Sleeping arrangements are quite nice. Our kids loved the loft!
Bonnie and John were very personable and really cared that we enjoyed our stay in every way possible. It is easy to tell that they spent many wonderful times here themselves with their own family and invited us in as "family" as well even though they did not know us. That said, they were readily available if needed, but in no way intrusive. We talked to them at booking, check-in, and once during the week because they wanted to make sure that our trash was taken care of. This stay was for us and they wanted it to be as peaceful as it could be. It was. Thank you, Bonnie and John!
Mark and family
P.S. We had never been to the Chautauqua area. There is a lot to do away from the cottage. If you have small kids, I recommend the resonably-priced amusement park and free ferry across the lake.

Ultimate Relaxation
Review submitted: July 24, 2012 Date of arrival: July 15, 2012
My husband, mother, sister and myself throughly enjoyed our stay at Bonnybrook Cottage. We loved the seclusion and quietness of the area. The cottage was spacious but cozy, and we appreciated the amenities. We loved the hot tub! It was relaxing sitting on the deck in the evening listening to the brook and wildlife. One morning we saw a hawk on the deck railing. We had fun using the zip line and swimming in the pond, and sitting around a campfire my sister built one night. It was enjoyable riding our bicycles around the area and a good work-out too. Bemus Point is a quaint town with good restarants and shops.
We will come back again if we get the chance. Thank you Bonnie and John for sharing your cottage with us and making us feel at home. We were happy to be the first ones to rent it.

DENVER (AP) — A chance encounter at a restaurant in a Denver suburb led to the arrest of an Ethiopian immigrant who authorities say tortured political prisoners decades ago in his home country, according to testimony from a Department of Homeland Security official Tuesday.
The man authorities identify as Kefelegn Alemu Worku pleaded not guilty to U.S. immigration charges and denied that he is a former guard at a prison know for atrocities and human rights abuses.
"He denies all of it," said Matthew Golla, a federal public defender, outside of court. He called his client "Mr. Doe" during the hearing.
The man entered his plea in federal court before being ordered held without bail by a judge who noted that he is accused of using several aliases. U.S. Magistrate Judge Kristen Mix also said the man faces serious accusations involving a detention center known as Higher 15. It was established during the late 1970s in a campaign known as the Red Terror, an effort the global watchdog group Human Rights Watch has called "one of the most systematic uses of mass murder by a state ever witnessed in Africa."
Worku was spotted by happenstance and confronted in May 2011 in a suburban Denver restaurant by a former prisoner who recognized him as a Higher 15 guard, said Homeland Security Agent Jeffrey Lembke, who did not elaborate.
The Cozy Cafe in an Aurora, Colo., is a hangout for Ethiopian immigrants in the Denver area, said restaurant manager Girma Baye.
The man identified as Worku was a regular at the restaurant and was known as Tufa, said Baye.
The Ethiopian immigrant, who says he escaped from the prison in 1979, went to authorities with his suspicions, leading to the investigation that resulted in the man's arrest last month, Lembke said.
Two other Ethiopian immigrants, who say they also were held at the prison, identified the suspect as Worku in a photo lineup. None of the three have been identified except by initials.
These men had "a very strong reason to remember, even though it was 30 years ago," said federal prosecutor Brenda Taylor in court.
The three immigrants told authorities the man they identified as Worku participated in beatings and torture sessions that included a cattle prod, rifle butts, whips and pipes. They also said he threatened at least one witness with an AK-47 at the prison where detainees were regularly beaten and executed.
Golla said his client has lived peacefully in Denver for eight years and should be released. He said his client has worked at Denver International Airport and is currently employed with a parking lot company.
The man has been charged with unlawfully procuring citizenship or naturalization and aggravated identity theft. If convicted of both, he faces up to 12 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000.

Reading My Father: A Memoirby Alexandra Styron
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Part memoir and part elegy, Reading My Father is the story of a daughter coming to know her father at last — a giant among twentieth-century American novelists and a man whose devastating depression darkened the family landscape.
In Reading My Father, William Styron's youngest child explores the life of a fascinating and difficult man whose own memoir, Darkness Visible, so searingly chronicled his battle with major depression. Alexandra Styron's parents—the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Sophie's Choice and his political activist wife, Rose—were, for half a century, leading players on the world's cultural stage. Alexandra was raised under both the halo of her father's brilliance and the long shadow of his troubled mind.
A drinker, a carouser, and above all "a high priest at the altar of fiction," Styron helped define the concept of The Big Male Writer that gave so much of twentieth-century American fiction a muscular, glamorous aura. In constant pursuit of The Great Novel, he and his work were the dominant force in his family's life, his turbulent moods the weather in their ecosystem.
From Styron's Tidewater, Virginia, youth and precocious literary debut to the triumphs of his best-known books and on through his spiral into depression, Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artist's life, offering a ringside seat on a great literary generation's friendships and their dramas. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written, with humor, compassion, and grace.
"The youngest daughter of the late novelist William Styron fashions a conflicted, guarded, ultimately reverential portrait of a deeply troubled artist. Dogged all his life by depression — which was not diagnosed properly until the devastating 1985 episode that later prompted Darkness Visible — the Virginia-born Styron was a difficult man to live with. Novelist Alexandra Styron (All the Finest Girls) delved into her father's papers at Duke University, his alma mater, to uncover the life and work of a man she never knew growing up in their Roxbury, Conn., home, along with her mother, Rose, and three older siblings. Styron was an only child whose mother died of cancer when he was 13, a Marine in World War II who never saw combat, and an abysmal student; though he was also a charming ladies' man and published his first novel, Lie Down in Darkness, in 1952 at the age of 26, to great critical acclaim. The author was born just before her father finished his third novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner, in 1967, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; the anticipation of his next work — 'like a constant drumbeat under everything we did' — gripped her childhood, until Sophie's Choice was published in 1979. In this intimate portrait, William Styron emerges through his daughter's eyes as a towering talent who proves all too human. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"Readers passionate about American literature will be fascinated by Alexandra's insightful tales about her complicated father and his circle, which included Peter Matthiessen, Norman Mailer, and Arthur Miller. Even more affecting is Styron's candor about how startling discoveries led her from anger to understanding as she researched and wrote this exquisitely powerful portrait of her father, a seminal writer sustained and harmed by his all-consuming artistic imperative." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Ardent, sophisticated and entirely winning....Her touch throughout this memoir is quite fine and very sure. As tough as she is on her father, she sees clearly the better man he could sometimes be....This is a grown-up memoir, taut and true." Dwight Garner, New York Times
"Reading My Father is the memoir of a childhood in an intellectually glittering, artistically engaged and emotionally precarious household. In this portrait, by turns tender and unsparing, we meet William Styron, the charming bon vivant undone by depression, the gifted and prolific writer whose long struggle to finish his final novel may have imperiled his sanity. Fluid and fascinating, dark and funny, Alexandra Styron's book brings her father before us in all of his complexity, a literary lion, roaring his way through America's post-war landscape." Geraldine Brooks, author of March and People of the Book
"William Styron's autobiographical writings were both candid and withholding, and this penetrating memoir shines light on what they left out; it does so with tenderness and compassion. This would be a bracing examination of the father-daughter relationship even if its suffering hero were not famous."Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of The Noonday Demon
"By turns brilliant and shocking....Alexandra Styron's account of...the slow dawning of the severity of her father's condition is handled with great skill." New York Times Book Review
"Alexandra Styron's account of her father is clear-eyed, frightening, and compassionate: an often lyrical view of Styron's struggle with despair, writing, and living. She is unsentimental about the toll his depression and alcoholism took on his work, and even less sentimental about the damage it did to his family. William Styron was a great writer and complex person; his daughter does him justice." Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., author of An Unquiet Mind and Nothing Was the Same
"Reading My Father is a beautiful, utterly absorbing portrait of the artist, and moving proof of how his youngest daughter grew up to become a writer who would make her father proud." John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Commoner and Reservation Road
Reading My Father is an intimate, moving and beautifully written portrait of the novelist William Styron by his daughter, Alexandra Styron.

The content for this week's left to rot comes from a Japanese exploration blog. The amount of rare and rusty steel astonishes me – this stuff is just sitting around! … and a lot of it looks like it could be saved… Check it out here: http://kusahiroexploration.blog107.fc2.com/page-1.html
I recently made a blog post about my visit to Manfeild for the MG Charity Classic and fizzed up in that blog about a certain Triumph Vitesse.
It's that time again and the oldschool hunters have been busy whipping out their potato-cameras. This week we have shots taken from far and wide, starting with this cool XP Falcon in Thailand.
It feels like the last three weeks have driven past at 100mph, but not to worry, the oldschool.co.nz community has been busy!
Datsun280z's project has only bee online since the middle of may and so far it's been a great read! We'll be keeping a close eye on this one.
If you have never been to either of the MG Car Club run events every year then get yourself along to the next one in November because these guys know how to run a race meeting. Join me as I give you a quick overview of what you missed.
In Left to Rot this week we have a bunch of shots that could have come straight from an art book (or your grandfathers worst nightmare).
First up we have this rare Mk1 Morris Traveller.
When you assemble a bunch of people who're into cars, there's always going to be conversations along the lines of: "Well XYZ car is lighter, but its got less power… So it should be quicker in the corners and faster overall" or "Well this car is a little heavier, but it's got better brakes" Or an infinite combination of theoretical arguments that cannot be convincingly solved with words alone… No matter how many beers are lubricating the conversation.
However! Some people in this world love to discuss other types of things instead.
The implications of the moon being made of cheese; The irony of extinct Dinosaurs being pumped into the atmosphere thereby causing another extinction; Whether Jaja Binks is worse than Nickleback; Or other such completely improbable, unsolvable, and highly disputable topics.
So by comparison, I think us car people have got it lucky in that we've got such a hilariously fun way to lay rest to any disputes… Gymkhana!
Spotted's back and the thread has been busier than ever! Go have a click around, there's a whole lot of cool that couldn't make it into this week's spread.
We'll open up with this badass VW "ZOMBIE" rod from Christchurch. We approve!
This is the first of our oldschool-tech articles, thanks to the user Cylinders for doing the hard yards putting this together! It's a basic guide for restoring old wooden steering wheels – it's cool to see what can be achieved with a bit of elbow grease! He tells me that there's a part two in the works for restoring a leather Nardi, who's interested?
"I bought this beautiful Momo Indy wheel the other day and it needs restoring, so I'm going to fix it up and show off the end results.
This is Peanut, and the motivating factor in today's sanding:
Deciding to make the most of a long weekend, a few of the Wellington oldschool.co.nz contingent (and one devoted member from Palmerston North) met up for a casual Sunday drive, looking to share a couple of beers and a couple of yarns. Attendance was on the low side but as always we made up for it with the mix of cars and people.
Leaving Wellington City and the blustery weather behind, the Kapiti Coast provided a few rays of sun and we were able to replenish our thirst (its tough work you know) while waiting for a few late comers. Continue Reading…

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb is expected to retain his position in the new government, two government sources said on Monday, a day after Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in as president.
The two men are due to hold talks on a new cabinet, which officials and the media say is expected to retain ministers in leading positions such as the finance portfolio. It is not clear when a new administration will be named.
