That looks good JT - I like your buildings. I like your new grass though I find it very saturated; perhaps the entire map is a little dark. I agree with anomie that the darker grass is confusing - perhaps consider using darkness AND light to show the contours of the hill. Also I added a .png of my stables to my big castle thread in case you want to use them.
Aside from the lighting issue this is looking really nice so far. The textures work well together.
If you are searching for ideas, I offer this sketch ..
Attachment 49297
Enter lower court and stables at level one.
Barracks above stables at level two.
Great stair from lower court to Great hall (level three).
one side of great hall is craftsman's courtyard and shops (level three) with craftsman housing above (level four).
other side of the great hall is the family court with courtier housing around it on levels three and four.
the corner towers would reach to level 5 and may provide access to all the other levels.
Just an idea for fitting ten pounds of castle in a five pound box.
wow..that's great... I don't have need for the "family" court or housing as these castles are strictly military (It sounds rough but no families are even allowed on the grounds ) I really like this...hmmmm :)
Then flatten it down and move the barrracks to the family court.
The great hall could become more of a true Keep.
Following atpollard's advice. I came up with this for the internal layout. I decided that the buildings would be made from wood but roofed in slate (it is abundant in the kingdom). I'm having a little trouble trying to get the perspective right on the second floor of these buildings however. Any advice in that area would be appreciated. :) *EDIT* The horses and other items are just there so I can try to get some sense of scale.
Attachment 49303
Chief architect Maran Lolln stood in the upper court of the castle and allowed himself the briefest of smiles. The internal buildings were nearing completion and to his great satisfaction there WAS plenty of space. A large keep had been built to house the barracks and armory with storage cellars dug out below. The main hall was nearing completion which would hold the kitchens and dining hall along with the Lord General's apartments. The smithy was already completed and was turning out metal items at a fantastic rate. Lolln knew the king was eager to start using this castle and had already assigned a General and the cavalry that would serve here. This castle was nearly done he thought to himself he felt a sense of pride mixed with apprehension as he remembered there were five more castles yet to be completed.....
So as I often do I re-worked the internal layout. The first version was functional but FAR too "neat" For some reason neat bothers me. I like a bit of a mess or a sprawl or the building that doesn't quite fit but manages to fit nonetheless. I actually went and looked at some castle layouts and came up with what you see here. It's a mix of atpollard's suggestions and some stuff I found on the Interweb. I think I like this layout (but we'll see after I stare at it some more) If this turns out to be the one then next up.....details !!! (my favorite part). As always feedback is requested and appreciated. :)
Attachment 49362
Grass colour is MUCH better (I love it now!) but it is still unclear that your castle is on a hill. You need to work on the lighting/shading to make that hill a hill. I preferred the grass/hill on the second last post because it was brighter.
I agree with you in terms of layout/tidiness and am having the same problem with 'Big Castle' ; however I really like your internal layout of map 2.
Also, are you making one castle to use on all four of five of your forts on the worldmap, or will you be making each individually? If the latter case, each could have an individual layout, and you have four or five ideas in this thread already.
Chief architect Maran Lolln stood on the roof of the keep and surveyed his surroundings. The keep reached nearly 50 feet in height a full 20 feet above the castle wall. It would hold a barracks for the 100 soldiers assigned here as well as the support staff of cooks, stablehands, blacksmiths and other staff. The lower floors also held an armory where armor and weapons could be stored and repaired. The ground beneath the keep had been dug out to hold storage cellars and an escape tunnel if the need for it should ever arise. The very top level of the keep held an observation post for the Lord General and a modest apartment for visitors. The main hall had been enlarged to feature a private dining hall and kitchens and a large apartment for the Lord General and his wife. There had been many arguments about this last feature. The king was of the mind that no women should be found in these castles. He felt they would be a distraction to the true purpose of the castle. The soldiers assigned to the fort would be rotated in and out on a regular basis making the separation from their families unpleasant but bearable. The Lord General however would be assigned to this post for a period of 10 years this length of separation was far too long to prohibit the Lord General from bringing his wife to Wolf's Fall castle hence the larger main hall to accommodate her and her 2 children. A bailey wall was built effectively dividing the large courtyard in two allowing the Lord General's wife and children their own space. It was not luxurious and they did share that space with the large noisy and often foul smelling smithy but some concessions were unavoidable. Lolln felt comfortable with the design and was glad to see this castle nearly completed. It would be another long winter before it was fully finished and populated however....
Here is today's update. As you can see from the story blurb, I've softened my position on having at least one family present at this castle. I divided the courtyard with the bailey wall and made the keep much larger and taller. I like this layout (I think) and I think I will now move on to detailing. As always feedback is requested and appreciated :)

Good Morning Browns fans!!!!!
What a great feeling it is the day after a huge victory!!
It's been a long three weeks since we woke up on Monday with a big smile on our faces. Well the wait is over and we
head into the bye week 4-5, which is good enough for second place in the AFC North.
Once again, the Browns defense put on a dominating performance holding the Ravens to 55 yards rushing on 21 carries. They recorded five sacks, one fumble recovery, and one interception, courtesy of shutdown corner Joe Haden.
The running game struggled again this week, gaining 73 yards on 28 carries for a 2.6 yards a carry average. Luckily for the Browns, Jason Campbell completed 23 of 35 for 262 yards and three touchdowns.
The Browns head to Cincinnati in two weeks to face the Bengals in a very important division game. If the Browns can defeat the Bengals in week 11, they will be 5-5 and a game out of first place, with a very favorable schedule remaining.
Let's all sit back and enjoy this victory over the Ravens. It's hard to believe, November 18, 2007 was the last time the Browns were able to defeat these Baltimore Ravens.
For the next two weeks, we will be talking about going to Cincinnati and beating the Bengals to get back into the race for first place in the division.
In the meantime, enjoy this one Browns fans!!!!
Brownie Bites
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski talked about his message to the team, saying it was time to stand up and make a statement against the Super Bowl champions. "We've been the kid brother in this division for a long time," Chudzinski said. "If you want to change that, you have to do things to change it. "The guys' approach this week was outstanding. They believe. It was a matter of actions and getting it done on the field. . . I think the last three weeks have taught us something. As much as you hate losing, you see things . . and we saw stretches where we played well against some very good football teams."
Quarterback Jason Campbell said he had X-rays after the game and that no ribs were broken, and it was a struggle to play. He did add, "You would have had to drag me out of the game." No denying the toughness of the eight year pro.

#Browns won today when Willis McGahee led the team with 31 yards on 21 carries. Maybe it is a passing league.
— PatMcManamon (@PatMcManamon) November 4, 2013
>Totally agree with Pat on this one. However, passing league or not, you definitely need a running game to go far in this league and 31 yards on 21 carries is not gonna get it done!

90-year-old Mickey Rooney is not the sweet, adorable guy he appears to be ... at least according to legal docs filed by his former assistant, who claims the actor is a mean, abusive old man.
The woman behind the allegations is Cindy Smith -- who claims she served as Mickey's right hand lady from 1984 to 1991 and again from 2000 to 2010.
Rooney's lawyers recently filed a lawsuit against Smith -- accusing her of elder abuse and fraud. But in new court documents, Smith says she is the real victim, because Rooney was a stubborn and abusive boss ... and all she did was try to look out for his best interests.
In the docs, Smith explains, "Mickey was condescending and gruff, hostile and rude, insulting and dismissive, and yelled quite often."
Cindy also claims Mickey was always looking to get himself involved in "get rich quick schemes" -- and she and Mickey's stepson would constantly have to protect him from squandering his money.
We've reached out to Mickey's lawyers for comment -- so far, no response.
Yep, ask Barry about his Jerry's Deli Studio City incident. Gruff-tastic
I don't know Mickey Rooney nor have I ever met him, but the details of this and a previous story leads me to believe (speculate) that he may suffer from dementia and possibly Alzheimer's disease. Often, those suffering from this disease become paranoid of others, make-up stories that are untrue, and lose all capabilities of being able to manage their finances. Unfortunately the target of an Alzheimer patient's hostilities are usually those closest to them. Sad but true. Again, I have no idea if this is, indeed, the case with Mr. Rooney. He could simply be a curmudgeon.
She and the son-in-law are low down if you ask me. Hard boss to work for? Get a job elsewhere and leave the man alone! He worked hard for his money and doesn't deserve people like this around him.
Cindy Smith - I have a feeling he is not easy to work for. I see that you were the real victim and your abusive boss so abused you that you unselfishly worked for him for 16 years. Are you kidding me. Do you not have any self respect? Just so you know, all bosses are stubborn & look out for their own interests. They do not need a lowly employee to do that for them. Your job (if you choose to accept it) is to do what you are told. That is why your title is assistant and not boss.
I can see that because I sat behind him at a Dancing with the Stars taping a couple years ago and seemed a little gruff. And his daughters (or neices or something) were there & they acted like spoiled 6 year olds trapped in a 50 year old body!! Bratty ladies.
WHEN DID HE EVER SEEM SWEET AND ADORABLE?!? How many times has he been married? You don't go through the number of relationships he has by being a sweet guy. When he was playing bitter and angry that's when he seemed the most true to life.
If this is true, why would you work for him for 18 years? Not only that, but you worked for him once, then came back to work for him years later. Sounds like BS to me.
For god sake.. she worked for him for 17 years. How bad could it have been? I hope I am "rough, hostie, rude and yell often" when I am 90.
Mickey Rooney is from another era. In the old days, some ruled w/ an iron hand and a stern word. If Rooney's behavior was so offensive, she should have quit. Too late to rehash the past, best to be moving on, it's the past.
Just another bitch looking for another pay day no more no less
Yeah. He was so awful that after escaping after 6 or 7 years, she couldn't help going back for 10 more. Is she a masochist or what?
Your brain changes when you get old.
If he was such a rude,condesending,abusive jerk. I have to wonder why she went back to work for him for 10 more years..
No amount of a paycheck is worth being treated so badly..I have to wonder if she came up with this after she found out he filed a law suit againest her.
Good for you Cindy, glad you spoke up! Rooney unfortunately, has been a part of my family for 30 years and he is a mean, rude, abusive man. He's my brother-in-law....current brother-in-law, and would give anything to have him out of our family. The stories the family, friends and neighbors could tell about Rooney, would curl your hair! His behavior is not just because he is old....it's how he has always been.
I met him at his one man show about 15 years ago, for $35.00 you could buy an autographed CD, after I bought it I said "All I want to do is shake your hand" so he did and looked at me and said "Now F*ck off" I loved it !
I believe this...Mickey came into a restaurant that I was working at a few years ago and was a COMPLETE JERK!!

Baked Risotto with Roasted Vegetables
- Yield 2 servings
Soft, creamy risotto topped with warm roasted vegetables makes a complete meal in a bowl.
If you don't like the idea of standing at the stove and stirring risotto to a perfect consistency, this is the method is for you. Thirty minutes in the oven and this risotto comes out cooked to perfection while you and your beloved wind down from your day. If you've made Roasted Winter Vegetables earlier in the week, you can reheat leftovers as a topping here. If not, roast a favorite combination in the oven with your risotto.
- Roasted Winter Vegetables:
- 2 pounds winter squash or pumpkin, parsnips, carrots, beets or a mix
- 2 medium red or yellow onions, quartered
- -- Extra-virgin olive oil
- -- Kosher salt
- -- Freshly ground black pepper
- -- Handful of fresh parsley, coarsely chopped, for garnish
- Baked Risotto:
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 -- onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup Arborio rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 to 2 1/4 cup hot water, homemade or packaged organic chicken broth, or a mix
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Peel and cut the vegetables into equal sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks. Toss vegetables and onions in olive oil in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread the pieces out in a single layer on one or two roasting pans/trays so that the vegetables don't touch. Roast until the veggies on the top rack of the oven until lightly browned and just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the vegetable. Remove and toss with additional olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley before serving.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Stir in the wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, 1 minute more. Stir in 2 cups of the hot water, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake on the bottom rack during the last 25 minutes of roasting time for the vegetables. After 25 minutes, check the risotto. Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the rice just cooked.
- Remove the risotto from the oven and stir in another 1/2 cup hot cups of water and the butter and cheese.
- Serve topped with roasted vegetables with thin shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Ok, finally doing an about me.
Birthday: 3/23/94.
Female girl thing, white cishet American Christian.
I have a tendency to spam random fandoms no one cares about a lot when I get bored or can't sleep, so you are warned.
If there's ever anything you want me to tag so you don't have to look at the fandoms you hate, just tell me, I won't get mad.
OTPs in order are 1)Smellershot 2) Rumbelle 3)Mike and Amber Warner
otakusapien is my twin btw, apparently people follow us both a lot and don't know for a long time cuz we don't say anything.
I'm not gonna list all my ships and fandoms cuz it would take way too long.
Is that it? Am I done now?
30 day shipping challenge
Day 11: What is your dream pairing?
I already made a post about Sawako and Kazehaya for this, but a day after posting it I realized I liked this pair a bit more.
Ryo Miyakozuka and Asuka Masamune.
These guys are adorable. She's super manly and clumsy and he's.. well imagine if Lisa Frank were a real person and sincere in all they did. That's him. They're both loving and a bit awkward, but they love each other so much. Asuka is even able to come out of his shell and open up to his true girly self, even though he has good reason to hide it, because of her and while Ryo doesn't show her emotions as much as he does, you can see how important he is to her. I like them as individuals too, which is always good in any relationship, real or fictional.
They're a more reserved couple to put it lightly (they've been dating a year and haven't even kissed yet). Plus their awkwardness is awesome. But, I like they're innocence, they're sincerity, how they don't pander to the audience with fanservice, how adorable and hilarious they are, and they just get each other more than anyone else.

Amy Remeikis: Queensland LNP executive president Bruce McIver has defended his party running an art union fundraiser, declaring it a "very worthwhile cause".
The Australian newspaper reported the party executive was running a $100 a ticket lottery, with a BMW as a prize, the initiative having already raised $350,000.
Former Liberal state president Con Galtos told the paper that companies which bought a book of tickets for $1000 and on-sold the individual tickets to friends, family or employees, may not have to make a public donation declaration.
The current declaration rate in Queensland is $1000. This coming week, the government is expected to pass legislation which will raise the declaration limit to $12,400, in line with federal requirements.

Simon Holt: Farmers and tourism operators in the Scenic Rim region have come up with a novel concept. A Farm Gate Festival on June 28 will see businesses along the "Lost World tourist drive" open their doors to the public, giving people a chance to try, buy, learn, taste and explore everything they offer.
It's part of the region's Eat Local Week, and a statement from organisers sums it up: "Buy fresh meat and produce direct from the farmer, tour a dary farm, ride a horse, enter an art space and buy direct from the artist, try a cooking class or simply relax in a cafe or by a pretty river."

Ross delivered the news in Sydney for both the Nine and Seven networks in a media career spanning 50 years.
He was perhaps best known for his decade-long stint as the newsreader for Nine's Today Show.
Ross died in a Gold Coast hospital last week aged 73. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. He is survived by partner of 22 years Gray Bolte, his ex-wife, three children and eight grandchildren.
His funeral will be held at Nerang at 3pm today.

Natalie Bochenski: The plunge in temperatures over the weekend may have prompted a rush for beanies and jumpers, but it was not a record-breaking cold.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Andrew Cameron said most of southern Queensland had experienced its coldest night since August 2013.
"The lowest minimum was at Kingaroy which recorded 0.4 degrees, which is about 7 or 8 degrees below their average May minimum temperature," he said.
"It's not record-breaking though... the record cold temperature in Kingaroy for May is minus 3.9, and that was in 1957."

Marissa Calligeros: Scaffolding has been erected outside the old O'Reilley's Bonded Stores on Margaret Street.
It is a sign that demolition is not too far away.
The three old brick buildings, which date back to the late 19th century and early 20th century, will be bulldozed to make way for a temporary dog park.
A last-ditch bid to save the historic buildings failed before the Queensland Heritage Council last month.

Amy Remeikis: Bob Katter has been invited to the union march - the union said given some Labor politicians "don't want to be part of the union movement", they invited someone else.

Amy Remeikis: The government may have moved Labour Day from May to October - but the CFMEU don't care - they have marched through the CBD shouting "May Day stays in bloody May".
It'll be all green thumbs on deck at Nerang on May 24. As part of a week to freshen up creek habitats, Nerang Riverkeepers are planning to dig in 10,000 plants in about six hours. The goal is to create a wetland paradise for native birdlife and healthier waterways. Phone 0423 846 494 for more.
Dan Nancarrow: Brisbane is expected to hit a high of 22 today on a day expected to be mostly sunny.
Dan Nancarrow: The mighty Brisbane Roar have won the 2013/14 title double by winning their third grand final and their efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Last night the city's Story Bridge was lit orange in honour of the A-League giants:

Kristian Silva: A bus travelling near the Gabba has been evacuated after a fire started at the back of the vehicle.
The bus was believed to be headed inbound on a Pacific Motorway. A large volume of smoke was seen rising into the air about 8.30am.
An ambulance spokeswoman said there were no injuries and the fire had been put out.

Dan Nancarrow: Good morning and welcome to Brisbane Live.
It's been another big night for Queensland sport fans with the Brisbane Roar winning their third grand final with a win over Western Sydney on Sunday night.

Greek Style Head of a Satyr from Central Asia, with influence from Ghandhara, Circa 200 - 100 BC
The expressive face of this satyr reveals a right eye that is slightly lower than the left and a smirk carved purposefully askew. The satyr himself may be of Greek origin, yet this piece hails from central Asia, a result of the clash of cultures that arose out of Alexander the Great's successful campaigns throughout the region. The result was a vast melting pot of culture, art and religion that spanned the subsequent Hellenistic era of Greek history, when Greek cultural influence and power was at its zenith in Europe and Asia. At the time, this satyr's inlaid eyes and simple braided crown were uncommon in Asian art, particularly seen in Buddhist sculptures of Siddhartha from the Gandhara region of northern Pakistan. Other examples include the famous Parthian relief from Hatra, as well as the hair and head of the Peshawar Museum's Bodhisattva. In the years after Alexander's conquests, the region's sculpture incorporated such elements in the intervening years as trade and technology increased the mingling of Eastern and Western cultures, creating new currents of art and thought that still inspire us to this day.

It's 8pm and you're finally getting the first moment of your day to yourself. What have you been doing all day?
Getting ready for work or the kids ready for school, attending meetings, writing emails, making phone calls, running errands, meeting with clients…and if you're lucky – snagging a quick workout and eating a microwavable dinner before finally spending a few quality moments with your loved ones, and now taking just one moment for yourself – before it all starts again…. You are tired and run down but keep burning the candle at both ends to maintain your superstar lifestyle. You are burnt out.
Does this sound familiar? I understand. That used to be me, until I decided to make a change and a create difference in my life.
I'm sure you're wondering how you could make a change when all that is keeping you super busy is probably "necessary" in your everyday and there is no more room for anything else. I'd like to introduce you to a Health Coach {me!}. A professional, supportive, trained expert who can work with you through your nutrition and health goals, and help you achieve a happier and healthier balance in what might seem like a currently chaotic life.
When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve?
It's rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.
Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
It's not about diets or scary "therapy" sessions.
No diet or way of life works for everyone and I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. Health coaching is about working to create life changes to help you seek balance in your stressful lifestyle and make simple changes that will last a lifetime. It's about creating a healthier, happier you, so that you feel better about yourself and your daily activities. It's time to focus on you!
Could one conversation change your life? Schedule a free initial consultation with me today!

Stephanie Fiagrelle on Fox News using the top picture and thinking she was a dude.
Instead of answering salivating reporters, I'll post here. Yes, I'm aware that I look like a dude. I have known this my entire life- I'll prove it by sharing baby photos sometime. I've gotten bullied, hit on by gay dudes and hot "straight" girls, seen the inside of both male and female bathrooms. Gotten yelled at for going into the women's restroom- but never the men's. I've had to tell my parents, grandparents and the rest of my family that I am gay, ultimately facing their rejection. Luckily, since I've looked like a dude since birth, they all accepted me with open arms since they really weren't surprised.
I've encountered much adversity in my life because of the way I look and who I've chosen to share my life with. Thankfully, I figured out who I was at a young age and I have cultivated a deep sense of self-trust and unshakeable confidence in the process. I am fortunate to have a wonderful, support and loving wife who I got to marry at the top of the Empire State building almost 1 year ago. I have loving parents who have always encouraged me to be myself (except when I went through my baggy pants stage, they hated that) and I have kick ass friends who love me for me.
I have made the decision to live my life authentically no matter who likes it, who's confused by it, or who thinks I'm going to simmer in hell for eternity. I have many gay and transgender friends who suffer on a daily basis and to you I say, be who are with all of your heart. There's a passionate fire to LIVE deep inside of each of us and the world will do all it can to snuff it out. Don't let anyone take that passion from you. Don't try to change yourself to please other people. You'll lead a miserable, nightmare of an existence. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
For those who don't like the way other people look or the choices they make in life (that are ultimately none of your business), here's my advice: Take care of your own. Put all that energy and hate into bettering yourself, loving your kids and your wife/husband. Learn to open your heart and your mind and do your best to stop spewing your ignorance out into the universe.
Alright, end rant. I'm going to the beach!

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.
While I generally post about branding and humor I think this is too powerful to ignore. Take 25 mins out of your day to learn about a cause that needs to be addressed. I'm one of the many who normally has the "I'm just one person, I can't really make a difference" mindset. The #stopkony campaign allows each and every one of to make a legitimate difference in the simplest way possible. By simply spreading the word about this evil man we are able to help those fighting on the front lines of this battle make huge strides toward ending this travesty. It literally could not be easier to make a difference. I plan on doing more than the basics on this one, but the simple request of helping make Joseph Kony famous will help bring him to justice in 2012.

Badminton scoring format under review by BWF
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) is reviewing the scoring system of the sport and there is a possibility that the format might change in the near future.
The BWF will have a discussion about alternate options at its annual Member's Forum here Friday followed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) Saturday.
The current system -- best-of-three games of 21 points each -- was introduced in 2006 when it was changed from the 15-point game where a player/pair could earn points only on his/her serve.
This is being done as the current format takes a lot more time for matches than what the BWF had initially expected, at times creating scheduling and timing issues during tournaments.
"Badminton is a great sport and as with everything else, it's continually evolving. There have been various developments regarding scoring which we think the time is right to discuss with our members," said BWF secretary general Thomas Lund.
"This session we will introduce ideas around scoring and different possibilities. It is designed to start a dialogue and consultation with our members on what we have now as a system and how this could be improved so generations to come continue enjoying badminton at its best."
The scoring system was on the agenda at a players' meeting held by the BWF Athletes' Commission last weekend where Lund outlined the reasons for contemplating a change while stressing that players would be integral in any decision.
Among the benefits of a change, he listed creating more intensity and excitement and reducing the length of time for matches which has steadily increased and been a challenge for scheduling.
Players have been asked to give their opinion on three proposed formats -- two games of 21 and the third game of 11 points (two points clear setting, decisive point at 14-all), three games of 15 points (setting at 19) and five games of nine points (setting with two points clear, decisive point at 12-all).
One of these could be selected after adequate testing at tournaments. Also, the current format can also be retained after consultations with players.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
As parent-founded schools grow, I think it is common for parents to feel excluded from decision making-- it is hard to be as included as a school grows from 160 to almost 400. Employees' right to confidentiality conflicts with parents desire to know why one teacher is retained and another let go. That said, magical things happen at Ocean Charter. The environment is overwhelmingly supportive and safe. The teachers are creative. The curriculum is beautiful. The lower grades are especially strong. Some of the parents are exceedingly hard to please and are used to private school "service". This is a public school where the learning challenges are way more diverse than at an exclusive private school.
Ocean Charter School has a great community, with wonderful teachers dedicated to providing the children with a creative 'Whole Child' curriculum. Look at the children's faces showing their enthusiasm for discovery, exploration and bio-dynamic gardening. We enjoy the hands on learning approach and understand the depth of the academics interwoven into the curriculum with a strong arts foundation. What a dynamic school and faculty who has the intention of creating the opportunity for each child to gain the capacity to 'think' for themselves. Just imagine if we could all do mathematics while skipping rope and singing- what a happy way to do accounting. What a magical school grounded in the principals of creative education and a strong healthy community of families together building this dynamic Charter School. Many families have helped set up the school, dig the gardens and raise this Charter school over the past years. It has now over 370 children enrolled from K-8th Grade. The Whole Child Curriculum teaches children in a safe, protective and naturally beautiful environment using methods that fill each child with delight, wonder and enthusiasm. To facilitate this ease of learning, classroom teachers stay with the children for three-year cycles. "Ocean Charter School's Whole Child Curriculum, informed by the Waldorf educational approach and built on a foundation of creativity and self-confidence, grows with the child to balance imagination, critical thinking and academic excellence. This foundation, combined with a focus on ecological and social responsibility, nurtures a sense of delight and wonder about the world, as well as respect for nature and humanity."
Ocean Charter had great potential. When it first opened it relied heavily on parent involvement, not just for their own children's experience but for the development of the school. Teachers and parents working together to actually create a school--just what the charter movement is about. The current board chair and administrators as leaders have hidden everything with their goal of running a school with no interference from anyone. With them at the helm, parents have no voice but are only asked for money and sweat. The biggest problem is that they have no professional capacity to run a school and the result is that every year, half the teachers leave. And forget the middle school--no resources devoted to it and new teachers constantly coming in.
I would really like to hear someone speak to the fact that the parents of so many returning 6th graders have chosen to leave Ocean Charter this year.
From initial observations, Ocean Charter School is a wonderful place for learning, most especially in the younger grades. But upon a closer review of the school organization, the administration, faculty and community meetings, and the relationships among the students, one begins to observe some major problems within this charter school organization. To begin with, the administrtative team of Mrs. Stephanie and Mrs. Kristy (neither of whom possess proper Admin. Credentials), have a gross reputation of incompetence among the faculty . These two self-empowered individuals blatantly disguise their ineptitude with smiles and other deceitful pleasantries. One egregious example is the fact that new teachers are not provided with a school handbook with accountable policies about the curriculum and for professional evaluations. As a result, the Administration operates under a very non-transparent screen that allows them to make decisions with no managerial oversight or accountability. Look closely & you'll be sadly surprised.
The sense of community--children, teachers, and parents working together to support a place where curriculum is shaped by the teachers themselves according to the developmental needs of the children at each particular age.
i have 3 children at OCS and have been involved since the first year. i feel really good about the lower grades and moderately worried about the 4th-8th grade curriculum. i worry about my children being prepared for highschool, yet not worried enough to pull them out. Parents pull a lot of the weight, politics are a bit much, some cliques exist, admin seems continually overwhelmed and slow to respond to issues. much of these issues are due to growing pains and budget issues. i don't believe that any school will avoid all problems all the time, so I stay at OCS and stay involved. my children are greatly benefiting from the broad range of subjects (handworks, games, music, theatre, singing, math, science, japanese, spanish, etc...) the community of loving, hard-working teachers, parents and engaged curious children keep me living in this city!
It's unfortunate the poster below had such a negative experience at OCS and that their child also was effected. I would like to say, however, that as one parent in a dual parent working household with a child at OCS, this has not been my experience. We as a family are friends with many dual working parents and with single parents at this school and this poster's experience has not been reflective of what we or our child has experienced. There are very likely some unfriendly people at this school or in a particular class, but find a school that doesn't have an element of that. I'm sorry this family felt they had to leave.
I think that there is a large difference between the lower grades and the upper ones at Ocean. While I really like the 'whole child' approach in the younger grades, the upper grades suffer from the lack of rigor in the academics. The upper grades are well behind other schools in mathematics and writing, and they rarely do such basic things as book reports. Considering this continues through the 8th grade, the students are seriously disadvantaged when they move on to the high school level. While I will agree that parent involvement is high, the parent body (and students as well) are very cliquish. In addition, while they mean well, the parents are completely disorganized. Events such as field trips or even day trips are always thrown haphazardly together at the last minute, or cancelled due to lack of planning.
OCS cannot use ethnicity to weigh lottery results because it is unlawful in the state of California to do so, unless it was grandfathered in like it was for some of the earliest charter schools. At this time, magnet schools remain exempt from these mandates. The diversity committee has been working very hard with it's outreach efforts to bring greater diversity to it's lottery pool and could use all the help it can get. It also has a great many other things it does to help celebrate diversity at OCS. Yes, the school needs improvement in this realm, but is working to achieve it. This is a great school otherwise and my child of color is learning a great deal and loves going to school everyday.
It's too bad they don't use a lottery and factor in race (like the magnet schools) to get a hetergeneous community w/in the classroom. You can have diversity committees all you want, but if children are not mixing with different races on a daily basis inside the classroom walls, then the school is not walking the talk.
I am so sorry to hear that last review. It is true that OCS doesn't have the number of African American children and Hispanic children that is reflective of Los Angeles, but my daughter's class has children whose parents are from Asia, England, Ireland, Poland...so there is diversity in a sense. Plus, we have the most active diversity committee ever. They are reaching out to the community. All who get into OCS get in through a lottery system so it is not like the school itself controls who gets in. I have found the school truly wonderful. I love that the school stresses the importance of play and homework is not assigned until 2nd or 3rd grade, yet test scores are among the highest of all comparative schools.
This is such an awesome community. Our kids are loved and nurtured by their teachers and a curriculum that is truly adapted to their development stages. Learning happens in such a natural way it really feels like blossoming !
It is a great comunity where the kids are the most important part.
they truly care about growing well rounded kid.
Inspiring teachers, creative curriculum, and an amazing community!
The curriculum addresses the whole child, promoting the development of healthy, responsible, and creative human beings.
This school provides a very nurturing society for where our children can grow, blossom, and meet their potential.
It's the best Waldorf inspired curriculum in the US with amazing teachers. My children are learning so much.
Ocean Charter School has a wonderfully supportive community of parents, teachers, and staff who enable a holistic growth experience for our children.

Commissioner Connie Hedegaard "welcomes the positive trends illustrated by the Carbon 2011 survey"
Confidence is growing in the EU Emissions Trading System, according to respondents to the sixth annual carbon market survey carried out by Thomson Reuters Point Carbon. Following the publication of the survey, Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action, said: "I welcome the positive trends illustrated by the "Carbon 2011" survey. The survey shows that despite the recent cyber attack on registries, confidence in the EU ETS being the most cost-effective instrument for reducing emissions in the EU is at the highest level since the survey began 6 years ago, and that the system EU ETS clearly has caused companies to reduce their emissions. It indicates that the major changes made to the EU ETS in the climate and energy package begin to bear fruit".
According to the survey, some 49% consider the EU ETS the most cost-effective instrument for reducing emissions in the EU. This is the highest level since the survey began and up from 43% last year. Furthermore, responses from the European power and heavy industry sectors showed taht a record 59% said that the EU ETS had already caused them to reduce their own emissions with a further 9% sayign that the EU ETS has prompted reductions to be planned.

Ancient Egypt- Death & AfterlifeEgyptians came to have a highly developed view of the afterlife with elaborate burial preparations and practices. They lived their entire lives preparing for death. Their rituals for preparing the body and soul for eternal life focused heavily on preservation of the body. They believed that Ka was still associated with the body after death and it was necessary to reunite it with Ba-the spirit or soul. Early burials were in shallow pits in the desert where the sand acted as a drying agent, keeping the bodies better preserved than customary burials. Tombs and pyramids were reflective of the value of life and afterlife. Pyramids were built to house the bodies of dead kings- the most wealthy Egyptians had elaborate tombs. Pharaohs' relatives and officials were often buried in Mastabas nearby. Ruins of 35 major pyramids stand on the west side of the Nile- the 3 largest at Giza. The tomb of a pharaoh would contain a sarcophagus to hold the casket and body, and would be filled with the worlds possessions of the deceased. Often, walls would be ornately decorated with hieroglyphics and wall paintings. To prevent grave robbery, most tombs were sealed from the outside, with massive, multiple slabs of limestone.
Religion in Ancient Egypt
This was the most polytheistic religion of any civilization-with more than 80 principal deities and over 2000 lesser ones. Many gods were anthropomorphic-often depicted as human bodies with animal heads. It was believed that immortal beings influenced every aspect of daily life. There was a belief that there was universal salvation for everyone who passed the weighing of the heart. Society also tolerated foreign deities being worshipped.
Oracles- like in some other polytheistic religions, a person or a sign was sought for before a big decision was made. Statues of deities would be paraded around towns during festivals. At these festivals, people would ask "yes/no" questions to the gods they passed. A nod forward from it was a positive answer.
Ahnk- a sign of life
Eye of Horus- (pictured above) a symbol of protection and royal power.
People were superstitious and used charms and amulets to ward off evil. It was postulated that dreams were a glimpse into the future.
The Age of Pyramids- The Old Kingdom:
Djoser was the first powerful king to create a strong central government. He ordered the construction of the giant Step Pyramid at Saqqara as a tomb.
Khufu built the Great Pyramids at Giza. Pyramids were built by farmers in their off season and not by slaves. They stood at 146.6 metres tall.
Achievements of the Old Kingdom:
Hieroglyphics- a system of writing based on representative images, was further developed during this period.
Engineering- had to be sophisticated to build temples and pyramids of the period. Irrigation techniques were also refined- shaduf. Trade- it was more regulated and spread throughout the Mediterranean region, enriching Egypt with new inventions and goods: potter's wheel from Mesopotamia, timber from Syria, and oil and wine from Crete. Toward the end of the Sixth Dynasty, political and natural climates combined to end the old monarchy. Low rainfall and weak floods caused famines, while the authority of the king had been weakened by government officials and priests who were vying for power. Egypt again separated into 2 separate parts. There was a time of general disorder which is referred to as The First Intermediate Period. It lasted for less than 100 years.
Sumer- 3500 BCE:
Sumerians lived in independent city-states, ruled by separate kings. It included the city and surrounding countryside. Each city-state had its own laws, military, and government. Sometimes separate city-states fought for land control and irrigation, but there were no major wars.
The king acted as head of the army in times of conflict. He was responsible for irrigation of the land- maintaining farming and a viable food source. However, for the upkeep and distribution of the land, all work was done by a slave class in society, not the actual king.
In turn, the king received a portion of the land and all that it produced- the king always had the most fertile
areas. The king was given manpower- to work the land and be a part of the army. No Sumerian king was able to unite the city-states until the rise of Sargon The Great (2340- 2305 BCE). Sargon united all of them and extended his control into both Egypt and Ethiopia, building the first true empire in history. After his death, Sumer fell into decline and the only city-state to continue to thrive was Ur.
Human Characteristics- what does it mean to be human?
Walking Upright: the earliest humans walked on the ground and climbed trees. They were flexible in this sense, in order to survive a diverse habitat and changing climate.
Bodies: as humans began to spread around the world, into different environments, body shapes began to evolve in order to survive different climates.
Social Life: human ancestors cared for each other, shared food, and built social networks to help with daily environmental challenges.
Tools & Food: our ancestors were once prey to large animals, but by 2.6 million years ago, early humans were butchering them. By 50 000 years ago, wooden spears were made in order to prey on big animals.
Brains: with bigger evolved bodies, came larger, more complex brains, to deal with environmental challenges.
Languages & Symbols: communication changed the way humans lived and provided new ways to cope within an unpredictable world.
Humans have changed the world. Homo Sapiens have made the transition to producing food and changing our surroundings, within the past 12 000 years. Humans have been so successful, that we've created a turning point in history of life on earth.
Thutmose III- (1479- 1425 BCE):
He was the greatest military leader of the New Kingdom. He was determined to make Egypt a mighty empire, leading armies into Asia almost every year for 20 years. Thutmose III brought Syria and Palestine under Egyptian control. It was standard practice for the captured sons of foreign rulers to be held hostage in Egypt, as it guaranteed loyalty to the Pharaoh. There were quite a few military achievements. Leather body armor covered with metal scales as well as body armor for horses, charioteers began to carry large, wooden shields. Through drill practices and battles, the army became an extremely well experience fighting force.
The 7 criteria of a great civilization. How civilizations were possible in ancient times:
1. Agricultural intensification- means of production.
2. Government- theocracy.
3. Religion- there is conflict between government and religion.
4. Development of science and writing- records could be made.
5. Occupation specialization.
6. Trade- merchants/tenants/slaves.
7. Class Structure- haves vs. have nots.
Assyria, 1309- 609 BCE:
The name Assyria was derived from the chief, Ashur. Their civilization developed in northern Mesoptamia along the banks of the Tigris. Ashur, the capital, was an important trading centre for east-west caravans, with this economic importance, the Assyrians gained political and military power as well. They eventually came to conquer all of Mesopotamia. They were brutal in war practices, and enemies were often tortured and killed for pleasure. Between 1000 and 600 BCE, their influence was spread as far west as the Mediterranean and Egypt.
Factors which contributed to military success: Assyrians tamed horses and used them in war. They maintained a professional, well-trained army, which was organized into foot soldiers, archers, charioteers, and Calvary. Mercenaries or hired foreign soldiers were added to local armies. Officers were trained in combat skills and strategy. From the Hittites, they learned the art of iron working, and with that they were able to make superior arrows and lances- stronger than bronze and cheaper to make.
Cultural Evolution In The Stone Age:
The Great Leap Forward- 35 000 years ago, humans showed the first signs of conscious planning, forethought, and creativity.
Social Organizations- People lived in small bands, and hunted and gathered in their own regions, ranging from 16 to 80 kilometres. People became non-migratory; they dug out shallow pits or camped under rock ledges for shelter. They did not live in caves. This stability lead to creativity and ingenuity. Early huts were animal skin walls and roofs suspended on wooden poles. Evidence shows that Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons alike, took care of the sick and buried their dead. Both Homo Sapiens were quite social, using organized hunts to capture large prey.
Hunting- It was their first specialized skill. Early hunters caught small rodents and ate carrion. Neanderthals were the first to hunt for large prey. They used pitfalls (large holes covered by branches) and deep bogs (the animal would sink) to their advantage.
Tool Making- Popular materials were flint, obsidian, quartz and basalt. The earliest tools were the chopper, and hand axes. Flake tools eventually replaced simple axes, as they were sharper. The development of the bow and arrow was important as it allowed for humans to be the hunter and not the hunted.
Speech- Early language was rudimentary but allowed people to work more closely together and to share cultural knowledge with each other.
Use of fire- It allowed for ancestors to spread into Europe and Asia. People could now cook their food rather than process it raw. It was useful in hunting, to harden wooden points of spears and arrows. It was used for defense. Burning sticks would be thrown to ward off animals from settlements.
Greece, The Dark Ages (1000 BCE- 800 BCE):
After the fall of Mycenae, Greece entered 300 years of poorly recorded history and multiple invasions from the outside.
The invaders from the northeast (the Dorians) spoke a different dialect of Greek, which served to spread to the Greek-speaking people all around the Agean Sea region, thus creating differences in dialects, as well as similarities in societies, separated by great distances.
As a result of this "dark" period, the achievements of the Mycenaean people in construction, art, monument building, and writing, were lost. As invaders swept south, they destroyed farming communities, drastically reducing the food supply and causing massive famines. The Greek population rapidly declined.
Greek mythology, legends and stories, were said to have taken place during the times of Mycenae.
