Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have no complaints about the school. I both my sons attended Turner. My oldest is in high school and my youngest still attends. I have been blessed with nothing but caring teachers that really took the time to meet with my husband and myself if we had questions. AND the After-Care program is PHENOMENAL!!!! Ms. Tracey and her staff are the best!!!
My kids attended this school for 4 years and there are a few good teachers anf there are alot of really bad teachers communication is terrible and my kids will not be gping back next year ,never. This turned into one of the worst schools the office staff are great but i hate the school. Good luck to anyone who is enrolling there kids to turner elem.
This school has NO parent/teacher communication, you try to talk to the teachers about your child's progress and you get the run around, my children will not be going to this school, even though we are zoned for Turner, my children will be attending Columbia
They have a wonderful principal,and teachers.The office personal are always ready to help you,with any questions you may have.And they have the best afterschool care in Brevard County.
Upon our move from New York, my son has attended the Autism Program at Turner for the past two years and we have found that the program and teachers are wonderful. I could not ask for a more caring or motivated staff of teachers. Most importantly my son loves going to school and has made some major improvements in various areas.
Unless your child is musically inclined...there really aren't any other choices. Having 3 sons, they have all expressed how they wished they had a team of some sort. Not much in sports. My best advice in this particular school is to not assume all is well, just because you haven't heard from the teacher.
Both of my children have gone here. My youngest is in 6th grade and is extremely happy. She has great teachers, staff who are caring towards her and is exceeding in every area of her schoolwork! She is involved in many activities and still remains on the honor roll.

I am so so glad i found this post! I am just learning how much unidentified shame i have been living in. And it can be extremely hard to identify and eventually causes anxiety and depression caused by suppressing it which eventually leads to addictions.I just identified some shame which is what led me to this post. I could feel the underlying depression and anxiety lift as soon as i realized it. And it was over something stupid- searching for info. on a guy i liked/dated kind of on the internet. It ended for good last year with me heart broken. Anyways,a few nights ago i was searching for info. on him on the internet and just now realized, after depression and anxiety, that i felt very ashamed for doing that! And tonight i finally realized all this and the anxiety/depression vanished into thin air immediately. Thank God! I just wish the disconnect would not happen at all but at least i have had great improvement over the years of this happening because way back the anxiety was so bad that it immobilized me into panic attacks in which i could not function.
I remember just always feeling shame. I didn't know how to name it. I had a crush on a girl, Bitty, in primary school and felt even more shame and not good enough for her on any level. She was lovely. Other kids ignored me but she spoke to me and I felt indestructible. I never forgot that feeling and I craved it from then on because it made my shame go away. I thought my low self-esteem came from gaining loads of weight as a teenager. I thought if I lost weight, I'd be ok. I went on that merry-go-round for years. I finally realised I felt shame regardless of my weight. It was with me literally through thick and thin. Bitty and I went to different high schools and the next time I saw her was when I was 18 and I'd gained a lot of weight. She didn't recognise me as she walked past with her boyfriend. I felt so wretched in my size 22 skirt. I thought it was weight but was just more shame. Today, I am alone and I am so frustrated by it. I was on facebook and Bitty popped in to my head. I haven't seen her since I was 18 and I managed to find her on facebook. We are on different continents. She is married with teenage children. I saw her family pictures and it brought stinging tears to my eyes. I don't have a crush on her but I see what shame has cost me. I feel like my life has been unlived. Joyless. Mechanical.
I am in 12 step fellowships but every now and then I get a reality check. Its progress not perfection but life still hurts.
It seems to bring it out in some people. That holiday gathering during which relatives lounge in front of televisions and watch their favorite teams or their non-favorites, just so announcers' voices crash the holiday milieu, intruding and pervading. No carols or impromptu guitar sessions. Screw Jingle Bells.
Then comes the raunchy commentary. One year, when our girls were very small, Santa had brought them cloth dolls from different countries. (They were that year's UNICEF toys, represented by the lovely Audrey Hepburn. To my delight, there were even African American dolls representing the USA.) As the girls played with their dolls in front of the television on the floor, the comments began. Seems that Patrick Ewing was proof that Evolution did occur because he so resembled an ape. That comment drew me into the room because I had just spoken with this man's wife only moments before while washing dishes. She declared the Bible literal (ie no belief in Evolution). The monkey comments continued. My anger rose. I found myself defending the black race because of a few thugs who had warped these people's minds. The upshot of the argument? That we should not let our children play with black children because they might want to marry them someday. Furthermore, if I wanted to interact with them, he said, "Move to the ghetto and live with them!" I dropped the "F" bomb that night in front of this family and stormed out, with my bewildered children following me carrying their multi-racial dolls. I missed the festivities the next day and received an apology from the man's wife a few weeks later. He, however, never apologized. Thank goodness this was not my side of the family.
This year, during a football game over Thanksgiving, the men gathered again for their rah rah session. The announcers loudly yammering, the comments once again flew, revealing an ugly underbelly, one that my husband chose to shield me from. He wouldn't tell me what was said. He said he knew how I would take it, my disappointment.
This time it was my side of the family, and I am filled with shame.
Small doings can have huge consequences; small moments can slash like mighty samurai swords, so sharp that you don't realize how deep was the wound until you see yourself falling away from your own body and realize you have been decapitated without your own conscious awareness.
My mother is planning on attending a Thanksgiving Party—preThanksgiving, actually. Thanksgiving will be a neighborhood affair with people who are used to me. This party is with people who do not know me well. I have been away from home for such a long time and oh, yes, some of the other people in this circle will be bringing their children and grandchildren to this preThanksgiving party, but no, my mother has not thought to raise the subject with me. Actually, it is not that she has not thought of it. Keeping me hidden is quite deliberate.
It's no real surprise. She's been ashamed of me since I was a child and asked a stranger if he liked my dress. I was 5. She was ashamed of me and my social awkwardness and my sturdy, muscular body that gathered pudge prior to sprouting breasts. Now she is really embarassed—now I am truly and really and sincerely fat, just like she'd always thought I was, long before I truly was. Now I am fat and have radical opinions and I don't keep pointless secrets and I have no business thinking that anything I say is worth hearing and that people might actually like meeting me. Better that I sit quietly in a corner somewhere inconspicuous so she will not have to admit she knows me, let alone that she is my mother. Better that nobody sees me at all.
Often, it seems, that when people are bound and determined to hurt you, the blow they strike will land with anguishing precision on wounds previously inflicted. The moment I realize precisely how deeply my mother is ashamed of me, the words of my father come back to open up the tempting target of this older wound.
I had mentioned the possibility of finding my biological mother and to this he replied "Why would you want to do that to her? You were her deepest shame."
When I was four and a half, they described the circumstances of my adoption in the matter-of-fact manner they were taught so as not to traumatize the little adoptee. Little kids are as comfortable with such things as the adults around them, so I thought little of it until that conversation with my father. Until that precise moment, I had not known that my very existence was shameful. This was far bigger than just being who I was. That I had been born at all made me shame embodied—so what was there for it but to go forth and make myself utterly beyond redemption? I did this with verve and enthusiasm, to the point where I grew uncomfortable with it and gave it up for a rather more sedate path. But the shame persisted.
It took a long time and a lot of work to realize that there was no shame in my birth. There is shame in war and abuse and famine and the horrors humans inflict on other humans through cruelty and neglect. But there is no shame in making love and there is no shame in a baby. There is no shame in the size and shape of my body, whatever society says, and their attitude said more about my adoptive parents than it ever did about me.
It still hurts. Of course it does. But I can sit that pain and shame down in a comfy chair with a plate of hors d'ouvres and some sparkling apple cider, a bag of knitting and something fun to watch on TV while I go forth and reach for happiness. Life is too short to waste on shame—it's over too fast as it is and I have better things to do…
During this season of sharing, won't you share with us an awkward family Holiday memory? Maybe….shamefully awkward, shamelessly funny?
Internationally beloved Gospel singer Cyndee Peters, seen here with Nelson Mandela, was so inspired by Dancing at the Shame Prom that she wrote a song for us. We are so grateful for you sharing your heart with us, Cyndee!
Wallflower at the Dance
I've been thinking for awhile about the title, Dancing at the Same Prom, and the topic of shame. I can't write about that, I thought. I have nothing to say. Have I felt shame? Ashamed? Of what? To whom? And, moreover, I'm not a confessional person. I don't write memoir, I don't blog. For good reason: I'm not famous, haven't done anything particularly remarkable, and face it, who cares? Then again, I work hard to try and write fiction and we all know what they say about fiction and autobiography.
A number of years ago, before I started writing what I call seriously, I kept a journal of sorts, daily musings that today I guess might be channeled out to the blogosphere and bore most anyone who happened to come across it. However, I loved doing it and it helped organize my life at a time I truly needed the structure of daily work. After a year of this exercise, I decided to write a story. And so it began.
My first novel, Afterthought, was pure fiction. And not. The names were changed, circumstances, location, all of it, really, except various thoughts on the part of the protagonist, a woman of a certain age on a journey. Well, who isn't? Shameless in ways I'd never thought to be, I loved her, especially when she recalled her ex-husband, an artist, a good artist, who she revered and loved and counted as her best friend for life ever after.
Okay, yeah, I have one of those, too. My ex-husband—one of them, the one that affected me most—was a writer, not a painter, and I'd felt as my character did. That he was my best friend, difficult, smart and talented, I thought we would weather whatever the weather. So many good times, so many tough times.
Our brains work to protect us, weeding out pain—certainly physical, I can attest to that, having survived cancer—but emotional, too. Because if we didn't we simply couldn't go on. But if I searched, if I really thought about it long and hard, I would now have to confess a complicity in my own disappointment and unhappiness that is, indeed, shameful.
Because not admitting to ourselves what we see, not recognizing it and not realizing the depth of destruction is, in way shameful. Or certainly nothing to be proud of.
My character hinted at, but didn't fully admit to abuse, both verbal and physical, often fueled by alcohol. Nor did she see a kind of neglect; her former husband, forever the center of the world, she gave in to what she thought of as "the better artist."
Not unusual, it happens. History is littered with talented women who gave up or gave in for what they mistakenly thought of as the greater good. Not so wise, not so noble, and yes, to a degree, shameful.
The first time I remember wanting to kill myself, I was 6 years old. Now, as a 56 year old grownup, I understand that my father was a tormented, abandoned toddler, exiled at a boarding school not even in the same country as his parents, and whatever it was happened to my mother, it turned her angry and cold and curiously unwilling to protect my brother and me from my father's rages.
Little kid me, though, just knew that she was completely unable to make anybody love her, and furthermore, if it was bad in our house, surely it was because of me. I was too friendly, too open, to needy, too loving, too imaginative—Not Like Everybody Else. My experiences at school reassured me that anything I felt was worthless or defective about myself was not just my imagination.
And so I grew up angry and quirky and pretty much friendless, although my Facebook friends from those days don't seem to remember it that way. It's likely that I was so embroiled in my own self-hatred that I couldn't see friendship when it was there. I do remember bullies among them, though, and no one stepping forward to put a stop to them.
When I look back, my past seems like an endless wash of pain where no face turned my way was friendly. I knew with perfect certainty that it was because I was fat (145 lbs of solid muscle—really?), ugly (not when I look at those pictures now), intrinsically defective in such a way as to make anybody who met me detest me on sight (okay, that still happens, but I am more bemused by it now than wounded). How do I describe a young life where neither father nor mother turn a tender eye, where a brother did nothing but ravage, despise, and manipulate his way into getting everythig even as he gloated that I got nothing? How do I convey the endless pain of knowing that family occasions would be unending stretches where at best I was merely tolerated?
Honestly, if I hadn't lived it, reading this, I would think I was being melodramatic and self-pitying—except it was true.
Some kids might have been crushed and in many ways, I was. But there was a part of me that stood up and raged against this fate. I *knew* this was no way to treat a little kid. Kids are for love. Kids are treasures. Kids are for tenderness and cuddles and protection. It was so unjust to take a normally imperfect kiddo and make her into the family curse—if we just didn't have this horrific child, we'd be a great family.
Anger, however, did not serve me well. It made them detest me all the more. Reason didn't, either. No amount of trying to talk to my parents and understand what they were doing—or to reason them out of it—made the slightest difference. Instead, it brought more abuse. Nothing helped. And the so-called 'helping professionals?' They were largely my parents' flunkies and spent lots of time telling me why my parents were right about me and how I just needed to be mindlessly obedient. Certainly nobody believed my stories of life when the doors closed at my house.
So I hid from the world. I would go to the library and return with two piles of books over my head and have them finished by the end of the weekend. I had to go to school and I had to go to swim practice, but that was all I truly had to do. The rest of the time I would appear for meals and then retreat again. It kept me alive and I know more about fairy tales than you would believe.
I was 15 when my mother turfed me out of my room. "Get up! Go somewhere! DO something!"
I think she probably regretted those words ever after that. Off I went into the world outside and found a hippy counseling center and from there I kind of exploded. I really never went home again. From there I discovered that it was less painful to sleep on a damp mattress on stairs, covered in bugs, than to be home in my own bed knowing they hated me. I discovered that being used by men (with the occasional happy discovery of someone sweet) was indistinguishable from love when you didn't really know what that was in the first place. I discovered that drag queens make great moms, but they weren't legally able to help me stop spinning out of control. I discovered that the foster system can be scary, but a juvenile institution is far more terrifying.
I emerged from the mire—which I have described as slogging through cold molasses liberally laced with razor wire—by marrying my daughter's father—and it was shortly after my daughter's birth that began my deepest and most bitter shame. I dreamed of loving my little child. I dreamed of giving her a perfect childhood, buoyed with love, cocooned in tenderness. I dreamed of giving her everything I had not had. I dreamed that if I could just do NOTHING of what I had done to me and ALL of what I had craved so desperately, I would give my beautiful baby the happiest childhood imaginable.
But what I did not realize, what I did not dream or imagine, was that I would be so ravaged by my upbringing, that I would have so few emotional and psychological tools, that the PTSD the whole thing had given me, would crush most of those dreams. Oh, I got better. I worked with focus and intensity at becoming a good mom, but the truth is, I was drowning in the swamp of my own internal horrors—and where I went, I dragged my precious girl with me.
I tell you that when I allow myself to think about it, and I am driving, I have to pull over to the side of the road because I am weeping so hard I cannot see to drive. She Never Deserved Any Of It. People have tried to assuage my grief and horror by telling me I did my best, that I had no tools—even she (now grown) has said it. But all I can do is see that sweet little face in my mind's eye and think of the things I did that harmed her, or how my stupidity, my need for love, put her in the path of people who hurt her, who made her shy and doubting of her own worth.
Now we are close. I revel in her and in my granddaughter. She has had a grownup life with travails and triumphs of her own—but I have raised a woman who is an *awesome* mother. I am married to a man who adores me. I have a good education, a good job. I am finally fully realizing so many of my talents. But here inside, where I am still six and wanting to die, where I am 15 and being used by men old enough to have been arrested for it, where I am all those small, shamed, uncertain things—here I am still wailing not nearly so much for my own pain but for the pain I passed on.
I am sorry. I am so, so sorry. I am sorry. And I am not sure that I can ever, ever forgive myself.
Reading Dancing at the Shame Prom, though, has shown me that we all have profound shame, and that inside, many of us are still small, sad, scared and self-loathing. I may have a long way to go, but I am beginning to see it is possible to stand up and wade out of it…
From Cathy Speck:
It's just like you've heard in stories or seen on TV. Yup, inside the Drunk Tank at the Police Station or county jail, it's true. Yup. I was instructed to put on a bright orange jumpsuit but not before being strip- searched. And yes, they did look "up there." Not sure what they'd find up there—maybe another bottle Bud Light? Or maybe they'd find a capsule of vacuum- wrapped self respect. I sure didn't have it anywhere else in my body.
I wasn't even drunk, not by my standards. Sure, I drank a pitcher of beer with my friends at Round Table Pizza, and do mean I drank it. And then I went out dancing while my friends went home to be boring. I felt like dancing and making out—boy or girl, it didn't matter
I drove a few miles to a bar where some dyke friends of mine played in band. Had three more beers and practically had sex on the dance floor with some guy by rubbing against his hard on. But I didn't actually want his penis inside of me anywhere, so I left to drive myself home. Bright orange jump suit. Padded walls, no chair or cot or pillow—-nothing except a stainless steel toilet with no seat and no toilet paper in the middle of the cell. My "roommate" was a woman who was truly drunk, crying, hands on her head with her hair all matted with sweat and who knows what. Loudly sobbing about how her boyfriend was gonna kill her her when he found out about this.
Oh Gawd, shut up. Five years before this night I was the valedictorian of our esteemed high school, awarded athlete, honor student with scholarship offers from Yale and UC Berkeley. The expectations haunted me like a siren screaming at me to pull over.
I wanted my life to be over. Failure.
I was an alcoholic, anorexic, bulimic, self-mutilator. Humiliated, I wanted out of this world, but I couldn't even get out of jail free. Yup. The Drunk Tank . It was true.

Roundup: Jones hurls SVCA to easy home win
Daily Staff Reports
STEPHENS CITY -- Dan Jones struck out 10 batters while Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy's offense exploded for 16 runs as the Patriots defeated Fresta Valley 16-1 in high school baseball action on Monday.
Nathan Steve went 2-for-3 with three RBIs for the Patriots, while Jones improved to 2-1 this season with the victory.
"Their first pitcher was really tough and we were able to get six off of him," SVCA coach Bobby Wheelock said. "Tyler Braun-Duin hit a home run in the first inning and went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, so that really got us started offensively. Dan [Jones] struck out 10, so he had a great game, too."
Prep softball
Hawks 2, Bulldogs 0
LURAY -- Skyline's Sarah Beam fired her third shutout of the season to lead visiting Skyline past Luray 2-0 on Monday.
Beam (4-2) fanned 13 batters while allowing only five hits and one walk in the complete-game effort.
"Sarah was really on with her pitching tonight," Skyline coach Richard Armstrong said. "She did a real good job."
Beam provided her own run support with a solo home run in the first inning. Teammate Sabrie Neeb finished with a 2-for-3 day including a triple for Skyline (5-3).
Gobblers 10, Generals 3
QUICKSBURG -- Despite a strong start from its offense, Stonewall Jackson couldn't hold on Monday, falling 10-3 to Broadway.
Catcher Savannah Ludwig hit a two-run triple in the first inning to put the home team ahead, but Broadway's offense couldn't be silenced. The Gobblers put four runs on the scoreboard in the third inning, then scored in each frame to win convincingly.
"We gave up three unearned runs and the last time we played Broadway we lost 21-1, so it was a blowout," Stonewall coach Michael Hunt said. "I was pleased with the effort our girls gave tonight. It was a good effort."
Prep boys soccer
Gladiators 2, Falcons 1
WOODSTOCK -- A costly mistake by the Falcons was the difference on Monday as Central fell 2-1 to Riverheads.
The Gladiators took the early lead, but a goal by Jimmy Horn allowed Central to tie the game. But with less than 10 minutes left, Central made an errant throw-in, which put Riverheads on the advantage, and the Gladiators scored the game-winning goal.
"I think we had a good bit of the play in the second half," Central coach Ted Poor said. "We made a mistake by throwing the ball into the middle of the field, and they picked it off and took it back. But it was a well-played game and both teams deserved to win."
College baseball
Hornets 13, Flames 2
HARRISONBURG -- Shenandoah University ran its baseball winning streak to six games with a 13-2 non-league victory over Eastern Mennonite on Monday.
Shenandoah (29-6) scored single runs in the second and third innings, and after Eastern Mennonite (9-17) tied it with a two-run fourth, the Hornets broke things open by scoring nine runs in the fifth.
The Hornets sent 13 men to that fifth inning as the first six reached base safely. Junior Kevin Brashears led off with an infield single and eventually scored two runs in the inning.
Jon Holcomb had a pair of singles to center and drove in runs in his two at-bats.
Shenandoah finished the game by scoring two more runs in the eighth.
Holcomb led the offense with a 4-for-4 day that included a pair of RBIs. Scott Van Dusseldorp drove in three runs and Jesse Henry had two RBIs for Shenandoah.
Jake Yocum (4-0) earned the win with an inning of relief. Yocum gave up two runs on three hits as he pitched the fourth, but got the win when his offense produced the nine-run fifth.
SU baseball duo earns accolades
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Shenandoah University swept USA South Conference baseball Player of the Week honors in selections announced on Monday by the conference office.
Juniors Kevin Brashears and Greg Van Sickler were named Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for their performances last week.
Van Sickler was named as the Pitcher of the Week for the third time this season after throwing a complete game six-hitter on Saturday against league rival Ferrum.
Van Sickler struck out eight and walked just one as he improved to 6-1 this spring.
Brashears hit .542 last week with 13 hits and nine RBIs in 24 at-bats. The center fielder had five home runs on the week, including three in Sunday's win over Ferrum and a go-ahead blast on Saturday against the Panthers.
Brashears' three homers tied a school record for home runs in a game.

Show bows in as air traffic soars
The air transport industry's center of gravity is shifting to Asia and Singapore's aerospace industry is poised to reap the benefit, the country's prime minister said here yesterday before officially opening the show.
Lee Hsien Loong said the industry's output had grown more than 10 percent last year to reach nearly S$7 billion ($4.9 billion). And the country is developing its infrastructure and skills to make sure the growth continues.
"Top aerospace companies have found Singapore an attractive location for their R&D activities because of our high standards of intellectual property protection, strong pool of research talents and extensive R&D infrastructure," Lee said.
"The government is taking this a step further by facilitating high-risk research that individual companies may not embark upon on their own, but which are important in driving long-term innovation in the industry."
Science and technology agency A*STAR is leading a consortium of local and global industry players to undertake R&D in new areas such as advanced robotics and nondestructive testing techniques. "This will enable the industry to grow new capabilities and enhance its value proposition for the future," said Lee.
The airshow itself is "a key piece of our vision for the aerospace industry," Lee concluded. "It brings together members of the aerospace community, including government officials, industry leaders and decision makers from the commercial and defense sectors to make contacts, exchange ideas and broker deals. I am confident that exhibitors and visitors will find attractive business opportunities and inject even greater dynamism into this exciting industry."
Welcoming Lee to the event, Singapore Airshow and Events chairman Lim Ching Beng described the new show as "the most efficient place to do business on the international airshow circuit."
He also stressed how vital had been the contribution of multiple government agencies and ministries, including the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Defence Science and Technology Agency, which jointly own the organizing company, and in particular the Economic Development Board. "We couldn't have achieved so much without their help," he said.

I have experienced over this periodof time that all of the vigrahams I received from you have been done with much devotion and they have life embedded within them. Thank you!Reviewer:Kumar Ramachandran (Tulsa, Oklahoma, US)
This was a wonderful experience overall. Kyle's personal emails kept me up to date on everything that was happening with the sculpture. He worked to find the cheapest shipping option possible (since the statue weighed over 100 pounds and I live on the other side of the country) and it still arrived within a few days. As for the statue, it's absolutely beautiful. You can tell it's of a very high quality and will last a long, long time. I gave it to someone as a special gift and she loves it. I highly recommend Lotus Sculpture to anybody looking for quality Buddhist and Hindu statues. I hope to return in the future!Reviewer:David Schmid (Jericho, NY, US)

I cannot say enough positive about my experience in working with Kyle at Lotus Sculpture. I made a purchase of a beautiful Buddha, and it was damaged during shipping. Kyle was so positive and supportive, professional and personable: as unhappy as I am over loosing the beautiful Buddha I had chosen, Kyle worked with me to find another. I am very delighted with my Buddha; the new one has arrived safetly and is even more amazing than Kyle could describe. Every time I have ever contacted Kyle with any question, he has been very quick to respond, and given me good information. My overall experience with Kyle and Lotus Sculpture has been very positive, and I am looking forward to future satisfying events. Thank you, Des.Reviewer:Ava Desiree Hutsell (Warwick, RI, US)
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
- Materials: 13th -14th Century Indian Granite
- Total Height Including Base: 19 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 30 x 9 inches
- Weight: 295 pounds
Shiva's guardian is Nandi the white bull. A statue of Nandi can often be seen watching over an alter to Shiva or at the entrance of a Saivite shrine. Nandi is said to embody sexual energy, and fertility. Riding on his back, the renunciate, Shiva, is said to be in control of his sexual impulses. The Nandi is cast separately from the base and sides into and out of the base. The details of the piece are slightly worn consistent with antique pieces that have been handled through the years.
About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
About Shiva
Shiva was originally known as Rudra, a minor deity addressed only three times in the Rig Veda. He gained importance after absorbing some of the characteristics of an earlier fertility god and became Shiva, part of the trinity, or trimurti, with Vishnu and Brahma.
Shiva wears a snake coiled around his upper arms and neck symbolizing the power he has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human soul's transmigration of bodies from one life to another.
Shiva's female consort and wife is Parvati; because of his generosity and reverence towards Parvati, Shiva is considered an ideal role model for a husband. The divine couple together with their sons - the six-headed Skanda and the elephant headed Ganesh - reside on Mount Kailasa in the Himalayas.
His guardian is Nandi (the white bull), whose statue can often be seen watching over the main shrine. The bull is said to embody sexual energy, fertility. Riding on its back, Shiva is in control of these impulses.
He often holds a trident, which represents the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. It is also said to represent the threefold qualities of nature: creation, preservation and destruction, although preservation is usually attributed to Vishnu.
As the destroyer, Shiva is dark and terrible, encircled with serpents and a crown of skulls.
Shiva often wears sacred Rudaksha beads, perhaps a reference to his earlier name Rudra.
The crescent moon Shiva wears on his crown, besides being a symbol of Kama the goddess of nightly love, also represents the bull, Nandi, a fertility symbol.
Shiva holds a skull that represents samsara, the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Samsara is a central belief in Hinduism. Shiva himself also represents this complete cycle because he is Mahakala, the Lord of Time, destroying and creating all things.
Shiva is represented in a variety of forms. One such form is as a lingam. The ovoid shape is a representation of the absolute perfection of Lord Shiva - if that which is beyond form had to be given form, the lingam would be the closest form to the mystical experience of the absolute perfection of Shiva. Shiva is often pictured in a pacific mood with his consort Parvati, as the cosmic dancer Nataraja, as a naked ascetic, as a mendicant beggar, as a yogi, and as the androgynous union of Shiva and Parvati in one body (Ardhanarisvara).
Another example of Shiva's apparent synthesis of male and female attributes is seen in his earrings. He wears one earring in the style of a man and the other as a female.
Shiva's third eye is a symbol of higher consciousness. It is also a weapon he uses to destroy his enemies by emitting a fire missile which has the power to incinerate the three worlds. He can also kill all the gods and other creatures during the periodic destruction of the universe. Shiva's third eye first appeared when Parvati, his wife, playfully covered his other two eyes, so Shiva opened his third eye emitting his destructive missile endangering the three worlds.

European Union, 2012
Factbook: In 1950, the French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman proposed and eventual union of all of Europe, the first step of which would be the integration of the coal and steel industries of Western Europe. The following year the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was set up when six members, Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, signed the Treaty of Paris. The ECSC was so successful that within a few years the decision was made to integrate other parts of the countries' economies."
In 1957 the ECSC developed into the European Economic Community, and the six nations endeavored to reduce trade barriers between them. In 1967 the European Economic Community became the European Community, which developed a parliament. By 1986 six more nations had joined. In 1973 three more nations joined. The 1992 Treaty of Maastricht laid the basis for cooperation in foreign and defense policy, in judicial and internal affairs and the creation of an economic and monetary union - including a common currency. This created the European Union. Three nations joined, making 15 in all. The Euro was launched in 1999. Ten more countries joined in 2004, to 25 in all.
Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden. In 2007 Bulgaria and Romania joined, bringing the current membership to 27. Candidate countries: Croatia, Iceland, Macedonia, Montenegro, Turkey.

Magic designer Shawn Main (@ShawnPlays Magic on Twitter) came up with a goofy constructed format that sounded like something I'd enjoy: "Gatherer-Terrible." The rules are simple—you can only use cards rated by the community on Wizards' Gatherer card database as 2.0 or less out of 5. There are currently over 12,000 cards legal in Magic's largest format, Vintage, and Gatherer-Terrible restricts you to the 1,400 (give or take) worst of them. That's barely 10%, and not all of them are on Magic Online!
Back in the mid-90s, my brother, my college roommate, and I played a similar format that was restricted to cards rated 2 stars or fewer out of five by InQuest magazine. My deck back then was built around the tournament-playable Fiery Justice (still one of my all-time favorites).
That card isn't legal in this format, so I had to look elsewhere for ways to get ahead on the board "with value," as card advantage is king when everyone's cards are bad. A look through the card list revealed the 7th Edition limited bomb Dakmor Lancer was available. Wow! There weren't any reasonable ways to get it back from my graveyard, so I settled on an old pet card of mine, Obelisk of Undoing, as a way to reuse the enters-the-battlefield ability of the Lancer.
From there I looked for other cards with good ETB abilities (there aren't many), and found Quirion Trailblazer and Abyssal Horror. The fact that the Tempest black-green dual land (Pine Barrens) and a slew of maligned two-mana accelerators (Moss Diamond, Blightsoil Druid, and Wirewood Elf) were around made me confident a high-mana card advantage Rock-style deck could work.
Obelisk of Undoing Rock
4 Abyssal Horror
1 Arctic Wolves
4 Blightsoil Druid
4 Dakmor Lancer
4 Quirion Trailblazer
4 Wirewood Elf
1 Absorb Vis
2 Afflict
2 Colfenor's Plans
2 Feebleness
4 Moss Diamond
3 Obelisk of Undoing
1 Pull Under
1 The Hive
7 Forest
4 Pine Barrens
11 Swamp
1 Tomb of Urami
1 Bottle of Suleiman
2 Execute
1 Gauntlets of Chaos
1 Morbid Hunger
1 Nantuko Calmer
1 Rebuking Ceremony
2 Rotting Legion
2 Slay
1 Three Tragedies
1 Torture Chamber
2 Uktabi Faerie
The sideboard was just a bunch of stuff. I thought the fact that Slay and Execute were both legal would keep green and white creature decks at bay (and kept my number of Arctic Wolves to 1). They'd certainly be 4-ofs if the metagame allowed it! Rebuking Ceremony is another card with the potential to be backbreaking, and against Shawn Main's deck I wish I had more than one in my list.
I played Shawn's mono-black deck first. It was based on the card Famine combined with creatures big enough to survive it. I had Dakmor Lancers for all his Thran War Machines, a timely Pull Under for his Dread Reaper, and ripped his hand apart with the Abyssal Horrors.
My other opponent was another Magic designer, Ethan Fleisher (@EthanFleischer on Twitter), boldly piloting green-white fatties (Nettletooth Djinn, Ruham Djinn, Whiptail Wurm, etc.). His Sudden Strengths were giving me fits, but I won game one by the skin of my teeth with my one Urami. I lost game two by making a bad decision not to block a 4/4 while at 7 life (Sudden Strength again), but won game three after pulling out of missing my second land drop with a string of Lancers and Slays.
The format is a fun diversion, although likely not deep enough for too much exploration.
Thanks to Shawn for the idea!

Feldman '15: A school without boundaries
There are many factors that limit where people are able to attend college: finances, location and academic programs all play major roles in choosing an appropriate college. Disabilities should not play a factor. Certain schools do not do well in accommodating people with physical disabilities. Unfortunately, it seems Brown has joined their ranks.
Brown is a university filled with opportunities for many people. But for some, these opportunities are severely limited if the path getting to those opportunities is blocked by a staircase. Keeney Quadrangle is a perfect example. The complex that houses the largest number of first-years on campus only just got an elevator this year. Incoming first-years who are unable to walk up stairs were until this year limited in their abilities to make friends based on whether or not they lived above the first floor.
While Keeney has made the necessary change, many building are still far from it. It is appalling to think that buildings that house large numbers of students like Graduate Center still have no elevators. The first floors of several academic buildings are also only accessible by taking steps. Slater Hall, one of the most desired housing locations on campus, is just one of many dormitories in which you have to walk up steps directly upon entering the building. With some of these buildings, the problem is that they are really old. Slater was built in 1879. But that doesn't mean these places don't have to conform to recent building codes just because they predate them.
It is easy to say that if a person has a physical disability, he or she should just choose a dorm that can appropriately accommodate him or her, but that is unfair to those students. Students shouldn't miss out on being able to choose their housing because they physically wouldn't be able to get to their rooms. Restricting the housing of students with physical disabilities is further aggravated because these locations might not be conducive to the student's needs. If someone can't walk and is given specific housing on Pembroke campus that has elevators, how is he supposed to eat on weekends?
Student and Employee Accessibility Services does a good job in a couple of these areas. If a student is willing to go through the paperwork, SEAS offers an on-call shuttle to help students get around campus, and one can also apply for better accessible housing. But the larger part of this issue is not that SEAS is not doing a good enough job, it is that the University should be doing a better job.
Wilson Hall, as it currently stands, is a disgrace to Brown's campus. Wilson lacks any ramps or elevators, making it inaccessible to those who cannot walk up steps. While it isn't necessary to tear down Wilson, it should be immediately renovated. This expansion would be expensive and limit the building's use during the construction period, but it is a necessity. If the school can waste money on a speaker who never spoke, Brown can afford to make necessary changes to University buildings. Wilson also isn't just any building — it's located at the focal point of campus, right in the center of the Main Green. Considering all of the club meetings and course sections that occur there, it is surprising that an elevator wasn't installed years ago. The building should be renovated over the summer when it's not at its peak usage.
Even buildings as modern as List Art Center need further accommodations. Currently, there is an accessible entrance to the building that can be unlocked by calling a Department of Public Safety officer, but that is not enough. As it stands, a person with a physical disability has to exit the accessible entrance and reenter the building through the main entrance to reach an elevator that goes to a restroom. Are we really going to require people to walk outside in the cold of winter to use the bathroom when they already would have difficulty getting to a bathroom on the same floor?
Adding an elevator to an older building or an additional ramp to a newer building may be expensive, but most accommodations for people with physical disabilities are extremely affordable. Two thirds of accommodations cost less than $500, and many of them are free. There are also tax incentives that support private institutions' abilities to afford changes.
Part of the issue is that there is no way to always know if or when someone will have a physical disability. Injuries, whether through sports or just walking around and tripping, happen all of the time and can lead to someone losing the ability to walk for an extended period of time. And when someone breaks a leg, even if they would be driven to their classroom door, that student still has to worry about how to make it to his or her seat in a cramped class. Squeezing in between aisles and into a seat in MacMillan Hall 117 or Barus and Holley 168 isn't easy to do on two legs, let alone one.
Classes can be moved if a student with disabilities is unable to access the building, but this is primarily done at the beginning of the year. Hopefully, this prevents students from not taking courses because they cannot enter the building. But that doesn't help those students who sustain injuries during the year. Even temporarily losing the ability to walk is difficult enough without the University adding to the struggle.
The purpose of creating accommodations for people with disabilities is not to give anyone a special privilege — it is to give everyone equal opportunities. In a university that has so much to offer to both its students and the world, aren't equal opportunities something that should be encouraged?
