A camp counselor is a rare combination of doctor, lawyer, indian and chief. She is a competent child psychologist with her sophomore textbook as proof. She is an underpaid babysitter with neither television nor refrigerator. She is a strict disciplinarian with a twinkle in her eye. She is referee, coach, teacher, and advisor. She is an example of humanity in worn out tennis shoes, a sweatshirt two sizes too large, and a hat two sizes too small. She is a humorist in a crisis, a doctor in an emergency, and a song leader, entertainer, and play director. She is an idol with her head in a cloud of woodsmoke and her feet in the mud. She is a comforter under a leaky tarp on a canoe overnight, and a pal who just loaned someone her last pair of dry socks. She is a teacher of the outdoors, knee deep in poison ivy.
A counselor dislikes waiting in line, cabin inspection and rainy days. She is fond of sunbathing, exploring, teaching new games, an old car named Mrs. Beasley, and days off. She is handy for patching up broken friendships, bloody noses, and torn jeans. She is good at locating lost towels at the waterfront, fixing stopped up toilets, making friendship bracelets, and catching fish. She is poor at crawling out of bed on rainy mornings, and remembering to fill out forms.
A counselor is a friendly guide in the middle of a cold, dark, wet night on the long winding trail to the TLC. Who but she can cure homesickness, air out wet bedding, play 16 games of 4-square in succession, whistle "Dixie" through her fingers, carry all the cook-out food, speak Pig Latin in Spanish, stand on her hands, sing 37 verses of "You Can't get to Heaven", and eat four helpings of Sunday dinner.
A counselor is expected to repair 10 years of damage to Jill in 10 days, make Julie into a woman, rehabilitate Judy, allow Joan to be an individual and help Gertrude adjust to a group. She is expected to lead the most prized possessions of 16 adults much older than she. She is expected to lead them in fun and adventure, even when her head aches; to teach them to live in the outdoors, even though she spends 9 months a year in the city; to teach them indigenous activities when she can't even spell the word; to guide youngsters in social adjustment, when she hasn't even reached a legal age; to ensure safety and health, with a sunburned nose, a band-aid on her thumb, and a blister on her heel.
For all this she is paid enough to buy the second text in psychology, some aspirin, some new socks, two tires for Mrs. Beasley, and some new tennis shoes. You wonder how she can stand the pace and the pressure. You wonder if she really knows how much she is worth. And somehow, you realize that you can never pay her enough when, as she leaves at the end of the summer, she waves goodbye and says, "See ya next year!"

Now, bungee cords are elastic, they're not chains. That means they stretch. They allow us to leave camp and go out into the world at home, school and work.
But, bungee cords only stretch so far before they give you a little tug backwards. You can tell when your bungee cord is stretched too far. You might feel sad or lonely and need to remember the friendship, love and support of camp. You might be going through life without remembering the lessons you learned at camp. So when you stretch your bungee cords to much they give you a little tug to remind you what's really important in life.
Our invisible bungee cords can be tugged in many different ways. The tugs might be when you hear a camp song, remember a funny thing that happened at camp, see or hear from a camp friend, hear laughter, see a starry sky that reminds you of camp or just feel the love and support of camp.
A tug on your bungee cord can make many different things happen. Maybe your bungee cord will tug you all the way back to camp next year or maybe it will simply bring you a smile to brighten your day. However you stretch your bungee cord remember that it will always tie your heart to the top of the tallest tree at camp and in turn tie your heart to everyone else's heart forever.

96 Corsica Electrical Issues
Now for the driving part: I have noticed that the battery light came on (and still is) then followed up by the ABS light and then one other light before stumbling hard, all through out the rpm/speed range, to the point where I needed to pull over and turn it off. After letting it cool off, it will no longer start. It will crank slightly but not turn over, like a dead battery sign. Also, I have noticed the engine has been getting hot, and unfortunately, my temp gauge is bouncing between accurate readings to maxed out hot. If any of you can give me some good leads on where to look to get this problem sorted out, it would be much appreciated.

- Top Notch Review by Jeff
- Pretty Awesome Review by Dom
The thing is rock solid and easy to put together, you really have to get the torque wrench. Plan it out well as the pieces have to go on the stand in the correct order. The gas manifold was no problem, Home Depot had all the short lengths and connectors needed. Took about 3 days (with my kids in the way).
If you get this with TOP, get the extension leg to permanently mount the TOP to the stand. Watching the online YouTube video for assembly more informative than reading the instructions. Waiting for plumber to wire this thing into my house nat gas and dry run with water. Go the extra mile and get the stainless quick connects completes the package. (Posted on 8/10/13)
- Very happy Review by sol
This has taken my 6hr AG brew day down to 4hrs. I only use the pump to xfer water up to HLT and plate chilling at the end. Gravity does the rest. 2 burners and not having to do the kettle shuffle really speeds things up. I highly recommend getting a pump if you use a HLT burner on the top. You can just pour water into your BK and pump it up. If not you will have to haus a filled HLT kettle 6 feet up or get even higher to pour it in.
Construction is SOLID. My back patio slab is angled and I was able to easily level the stand as well as level all the tiers. There is no wobble or flimsy flam, just rock solid.
The only flaw that I found was the rusting of the gas T fittings that were included. You supply the main gas line pipe which will develop ugly surface rust as well. It was an easy fix. Just took a wire wheel and knocked off rust(unnecessary if it is new) then primed and pained the gas lines/fittings with some rustolium black. Do this before assembly to avoid this issue. I live in a high humidity area and it is setup outside uncovered. So far there is no corrosion or rust on any of the top tier system parts ie tiers, center column, and leg assembly.
I was torn between a single tier and this top tier. I chose this and I am very happy with my decision. The price is well justified due to the quality of the materials and design.

- quality Review by Amnestic
- Rock solid and happy with purchase Review by Tony
Installation was fairly straight forward if you are somewhat handy already. It is certainly a solid piece of equipment. What took me the longest was assembly of the burners/brackets and figuring out how to arrange them, but it was from me thinking about things before acting and having to redo things.
The instructions require the use of a torque wrench which I had to purchase separately. Since your dealing with 10+ gallons of hot liquid I'd recommend using the torque wrench to ensure everything is tightened appropriately, but it will run you a few more dollars than a regular wrench, ~ $65.
Assembly of the base stand was an easy one person job along with assembly of the burners, however actually putting the burners on is a job I'd recommend having a extra set of hands help with.
The gas manifold was easy to assembly and I easily found the parts needed at home depot so I can't fault Blichmann for not including them since they were easy to get.

I found a great video on how to build the stand here:

- There are other Options Review by Chuckie
- Top Tier is a well thought out and versatile system! Review by Matt
Stand assembly was easy. For the manifold, piping was a cinch. Pipes at Home Depot are threaded and with enough different lengths to mix and match for whatever your configuration. Manifold assembly was no more difficult than the rest of the stand. Easy to wheel out of the garage and over to the patio.
I brew 10 gallon batches. I can heat my strike & sparge water simultaneously, put a little heat on the mash if needed, and start heating up the wort once I've sparged a few gallons.
Utility Shelf is great to have to place little things (or a beer) in reach while brewing.
Overall, Top Tier is a well thought out and versatile system!

Ok Tim Tebow fans, here are some quotes from his press conference after the Jets' Thursday workout, courtesy of the team website:
First, about working with Mark Sanchez:
It's been a lot of fun. We're out there every day working extremely hard, trying to push each other, trying to have fun. Greg [McElroy]'s been doing a great job, Matt [Simms] and G.J. [Kinne] have been working hard. We've been enjoying it.
On learning a new offense as a group:
I think it's good because we're all on the same page. We are all learning every day, installing new things every day and all trying to help each other grasp this new offense and trying to execute it out there. It's new for everyone. We're all trying to understand it. I think it helps, because all of us are on the same page with things.
Is he worried about blocking on special teams?
Not really. I don't think it will be too bad. Kind of get out of the way and run down there. It probably won't be too hard.
On how competitive practice has been:
Absolutely, it had a competitive vibe. It was a lot of fun. I feel like we have a very good pace, getting in and out of the huddle and getting a lot of plays off, which is something that Coach Sparano stresses. So we want to have a good tempo. I feel like we were very competitive. We were trying to make plays, trying to execute. A lot of guys are learning the offense for the first time. It's understandable if some of the different flaws or mistakes or mental errors here and there because it is the first time a lot of us have ever run these plays. It'll constantly just get better every time.

Our Wines
Embruix de Vall Llach
VINTAGE The 2011 vintage was characterized by having below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures from January to the beginning of October. Leading up to harvest, grape quality was good as there were no adverse weather conditions, and the high levels of relative humidity favored a healthy ripening of the clusters. Due to the high temperatures and lack of rainfall, however, harvest was pushed up a couple of weeks earlier than normal. The Vall Llach team describes the 2011 vintage as being a "non-eventful, dry vintage that resulted in very concentrated, yet elegant, wines."
VINEYARDS Situated in one of the D.O.Q. Priorat's oldest towns, Porrera, the relatively "young" vines that make up this wine are located on steep slopes, comprised entirely of slate, known locally as llicorella. Due to the steep slopes' inability to retain water and the dry, fiery climate, even the clusters that come from Vall Llach's youngest vineyards are small and dense, providing the Embruix with its characteristic "bewitching" quality.
WINEMAKERS NOTES Sourced from estate vines primarily 15- to 20-years-old, Vall Llach's Embruix (pronounced "Embroosh"), means "bewitching" in Catalan and the name, along with the symbol of a full moon on the wine's label, are testament to the winery's interest in biodynamic winemaking. Dark cherry in color with a garnet rim, this wine has appealing aromas of creamy oak, sweet spice, warm blackberry pie and light toasted notes. Seductive and well-balanced on the palate, the 2010 Embruix has mature tannins and delectable flavors that mirror its aromas. Meant to consume now or age for 15 to 20 years, this wine should be served between 58-60ºF. Only 4,500 9L cases produced
28% Cariñena, 23% Garnacha, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 14% Syrah

Bahrain's National Oil and Gas Authority is hoping to expand the country's refining capacity to 100 000 bpd from the current 32 000 bpd. The country wishes to do so as it is working on tripling the output from its Awali oilfield. There is no fixed timeline for execution of the plan as yet.
Kuwait's Supreme Petroleum Council is hoping to make a decision on the construction of a new refinery by the end of September. The country has been debating the construction of a fourth refinery for many months as it strives to meet domestic fuel demand. The project was abandoned last year due to an increase in costs of construction to US$ 13.7 billion.
Qurain Petrochemicals Industries and United Industries Company have established a joint venture company, United Petrochemical Company (UPC). The company has licenses to establish a PTA/ PET plant in Kuwait and when constructed will be the first in the country. The joint venture company is 90% owned by Qurain Petrochemicals Industries.

James Wilson scores his first tries for Northampton in a 24-6 victory over Wasps

James Wilson scored his first two tries for Northampton as they continued their perfect start to the Aviva Premiership season with a 24-6 win over Wasps at Franklin's Gardens.
Wilson's double plus 14 points from the boot of Stephen Myler eased the Saints to a fifth victory from their five league matches so far.
Wasps dominated possession in the first half but were ultimately left empty-handed and counting the cost after wing James Bailey - a summer signing from Lyon - was carried off on a stretcher with a suspected broken leg 17 minutes into his first start for the club.
After five minutes of solid defending to open the match, Northampton scored with their first attack as a Wilson combined with Ken Pisi for a scoring move which began inside the Saints' half.
Myler missed the conversion and a subsequent penalty, but at the third attempt made it 8-0 after 12 minutes.
Wasps continued to have most of the ball and eventually got on the scoreboard when Nicky Robinson slotted two penalties through the posts.
Myler replied with three points of his own, though, and - after Northampton lock Samoa Manoa showed his side-stepping abilities to nip past a couple of Wasps tacklers - the fly-half made it 14-6 with another penalty.
On the stroke of half-time Wasps prop Tim Payne was sent to the sin-bin after the video referee was called on. Replays showed Payne dropping his knee on Vasily Artemyev in a ruck, with the home crowd furious a red card was not shown.
After the break Northampton took control and Wilson grabbed his second try of the evening, the New Zealander squirming over after it seemed he had been stopped short of the line. Myler added the conversion.Northampton had gone for the kill when Wasps were a man down but Artemyev, now with his head bandaged, was twice unable to gather offloads inches from the try-line and Soane Tonga'uiha could not quite reach the line after charging out of a ruck five metres from the line.
The visitors survived until Payne's reintroduction but were unable to hold Northampton off for much longer, with Wilson's second try coming in the 55th minute.
Northampton lock Christian Day became the second player to be carried off on a stretcher on 55 minutes with his right lower leg strapped up, while Courtney Lawes and Dylan Hartley also went off injured.
The home side brought Brian Mujati off the bench and the South African tore Wasps' scrum to pieces, winning penalty after penalty to keep the Saints in control as they maintained their impressive start to the season.Aviva Premiership. Click here to bet.

SCCA Mourns Hall of Famer John Fitch
John Fitch, a motorsports champion, pioneer, innovator and member of the inaugural SCCA Hall of Fame class in 2005, passed away early Wednesday morning. He was 95.
A World War II pilot, Fitch became the SCCA's first National Champion in an era when that meant competing at events across the country. He is perhaps best known for his international drives in Cunninghams, which he helped make famous.
Fitch is perhaps equally well known for his safety innovations. Among his most famous developments is the Fitch Barrier System that has also gained widespread use on highways around the world.
One of Fitch's last public appearances came in 2010, where at the age of 93 he traveled to Le Mans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Corvette's first significant international victory.

From what I've been able to gather, John Brubaker, born about 1834 in PA, married Sarah J. Arahood (or Orahood) possibly about 1853 in Iowa. Oldest son Webster was reportedly born 1 Nov 1854 in Benton Co., Iowa. In 1870 they were in Waterloo Twp., Black Hawk Co., Iowa--
Brubacher John 37 day laborer PA
Sarah 36 keeping house OH
Webster 15 IA
Alfred 13 IA
John 11 MO
Rosa 7 IA
Frank 4 MO
Fred 1/12 IA
By 1880 Sarah is widowed and with daughter Rosa's family in Burt Co., Nebraska
Wm. LAWRENCE 31 IN IN IN
Rosa Sarah Wife 19 IA PA OH
Sarah BRUBAKER MotherL 43 OH OH OH
Webster BRUBAKER BroL 25 IA PA OH
Fred. BRUBAKER BroL 10 IA PA OH
Melvin BRUBAKER BroL 7 IA PA OH
I think Sarah was the daughter of Elijah Orahood who married Rachel "Sarah" Carter in Union Co., Ohio and who was in Benton Co., Iowa in 1860.
Does anyone connect to these Brubakers? How was John related to the others in Iowa that came from Pennsylvania?

I have ordered about 10 of these in the past year. All of them have made wonderful bows. I glue them on right out of the package and sand them down to a finish. I have never recieved one that I was not able to glue right on out of the package. The performance is outstanding. Makes all the bows I make durable and reliable. Wonderful product for the price.

I have built six (successful) self bows so far with 3 of them having a hickory backing. This was my second backing strip from 3Rivers. I was entirely satisfied with the first one (along with everything else I have ordered) and the resulting longbow and so had no qualms about ordering another one. When I received the second strip I immediately noted what appeared to be a friction burn about 1/2" wide completely across the strip and about 3" from one end. I emailed (with attached pics) Customer Service that day and and the next day called and spoke with a polite young man who explained that I could return it and get another one although I would be responsible for shipping as he (and his supervisor) thought that the burn would not affect the integrity of the bow.I was rather disappointed in their answer as it was me, not them, who was the customer and was the one supposed to receive "100% satisfaction guaranteed". I am reluctant to put the work required into making a bow with something clearly less than the best quality material available. I was surprised, moreover, that the backing strip made it through 3Rivers quality control process.This experience has made me reluctant to order further products from 3Rivers that I can not obtain elsewhere even if the price is higher.

Exactly what it said it was

Comments about Hickory Backing:
I used it right out of the box without problems. I would have liked it to be a bit longer (76") as I was making an English style longbow. I made my first successful bow with this product. The backing is so strong that the bow ended up at 50# instead of the 35-40# I was planning.
Service and delivery comments:
3 rivers delivery is always prompt and well wrapped.

Good piece of wood, usable right from the box. Straight, even grain. My only remark is it could use a little rough sanding - the saw marks were still visible but this just gives it a good surface to glue to.

Good stuff!
By Jeff, The Backyard Bowyer
from Cookeville, Tn.
I used this backing to make a Red Oak/Hickory backed Longbogbow for my Father in Law as a gift.I needed a bow that drew at between 55-65 lbs, and I had no problem reaching that goal. He LOVES this bow.This was my 12th bow made using tools and materials from 3 Rivers, and I've yet to have one break on me yet. (Knock on wood) I heartily recommend their stuff. LIke always, I recommend a detailed examination of any item for faults or flaws, and 3Rivers return policy has always been fair.

mother nature strikes again
By St. john the bowyer

About Me Competitive Archer
i glued this puppy up to a red oak core i had. got it floor tiller'd, put a string on it and pulled it to about 10" and found out the hard way that the end grain crossed my whole limb. making this piece useless for a backing. i should have checked the grain before i got excited and glued it up. but i was relying on 3 rivers to send a good piece. they cant control mother nature but they could have thought of the finished product before selecting this piece. would recommend, but its a gamble and probably wouldnt use as a backing again unless the grain was perfect.
expensive shipping!
By Dave the archer
from Kennewick WA
About Me Expert Archer
A good product but very expensive to ship. I paid [...] to have this item shipped to WA state. It would be nice if Three Rivers would give you the option of having the strip sawed in half before shipping, which would eliminate having to pay extra shipping. It could then easily be spliced together.

Gave strength and sturdiness to the bow.
By Bowmaker
from USA
I used this hickory backing as two lams on my lamiated bow, it worked great. Don't be fooled by the picture, however, it comes with just one strip of wood instead of the three it shows in the pictue. Other then that I'm satisfied.

Kelly Rowland, The-Dream Team Up for Lights Out Tour
About a week ago, The-Dream teased us with a joint tour featuring himself and R&B songbird Kelly Rowland. Well, it looks like it's going to happen this summer.
About a week ago, The-Dream teased us with a joint tour featuring himself and R&B songbird Kelly Rowland. Well, it looks like it's going to happen this summer.
Popping up from the floor, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyonce onstage to kick off the Destiny's Child reunion at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
Are you ready for this jelly?
Beyonce will be joined by Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland for her highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance. Destiny's Child is back!
Us Weekly reports that Bey will begin the show solo, with Rowland and
With each passing day, Kelly Rowland is getting to be more and more excited about the upcoming arrival of Beyonce's little girl. Rowland recently opened up about her former Destiny's Child band member's baby on the way, saying there is no way on earth that she will miss the birth of her little angel.
Was the concept behind Kelly Rowland's 'Down for Whatever' music video stolen from another video? Some are asking the question after noticing the similarities between Rowland's new clip and the video for 'Believer' by the Freemasons featuring Wynter Gordon.
Kelly Rowland hopes to reunite with her estranged father one day.
We heard about this early in the week, but now photos have surfaced of Kelly Rowland's "Wardrobe Malfunction" while on-stage at a club called 4Sixty6 nightclub in West Orange. While on-stage performing several of latest hits, Rowland's black bras slid up, and gave the audience more than they had paid for. Yes, Kelly Rowland unintentionally "flashed" the crowd at her club gig.

Unsuccessful disk upgrade
I have just tried and failed to replace the main (boot) disk in my Windows 7-64 PC with a bigger one. I'll describe the miserable experience and hopefully someone can advise where it went wrong.
The existing hard disk is 1GB and is actually two physical 0.5GB Samsung disks in a RAID0 (striped) array. The RAID is hardware based, controlled by the Asus P6T motherboard. The replacement disks are two WD Black 1TB disks. Plan was to retain RAID0, so doubling the PC's disk capacity.
I did a full backup of the existing Samsung disk(s) onto a USB hard drive using Acronis 2012. Then I swapped in the new WD disks and reset the RAID0 (cntl-i after POST) keying in the old settings. It recognised the new disks and correctly reported their capacities and serial numbers. Note: I didn't prepare the new disks in any way, I just took them out or their wrappers and connected power and SATA cables. I didn't format them or test them.
Then I booted from the Acronis CD which has an option for recovering from a backup. This is where things started to go wrong. It came up with this screen:
I OK'd this and went into the backup recovery option. It let me choose the backup file (the one I'd just created from the Samsung disks) but when it asked me where to recovery to, the options didn't include the new RAID disks:
What it calls 'C:' is another USB hard drive. What it calls 'D:' is the USB hard drive where the backup resides.
I swapped the old disks back in and fortunately it booted into Windows OK (curiously, it adjusted the RAID back to the old disks on its own) so at least I had done no permanent damage.
I have no idea why it didn't work. One little clue though. When I reverted to the old disks the BIOS didn't recognise them at first. I found an option called something like 'hard disks(?)' which listed two choices, USB and RAID. It was set to USB. When I set it to RAID the disks were recognised. I can't find the option now but I think it might have been in the blank middle position on this screen:
Oh the mysteries of BIOS. Maybe if I'd done something similar when I put in the WD disks I would have been OK.
Any advice please?

The WJEC A level GCE in Psychology provides a basis for the study of Psychology and has been designed to provide a suitable foundation for the study of Psychology or a related area of study at further or higher education and/or preparation for future employment. Examples of related areas of study in further or higher education can include degrees e.g. in Psychology, education, teaching and or diplomas/certificates in health, care, counselling, and sports studies.
All assessment units require the candidate to exhibit essential skills developed through Psychology, i.e. the ability to identify, understand and evaluate key critical concepts and issues from psychological theory and methodology.
This specification is divided into a total of four units, 2 AS units and 2 A level units.
AS (2 units)
PY 1 40% (Within AS) 1 hour 15 minutes Written Paper 60 marks (80 UMS)
Approaches in Psychology

PSY 4 60% (within A2) 2 hours 30 minutes Written Paper 100 marks (120 UMS)
Psychology: Controversies, Topics and Applications
Unit 4 tests the student's ability to describe and evaluate a range of controversies, topics and applications in Psychology.
Four major psychological approaches form the basis of this Unit:
The Biological (Physiological/Medical) approach, the Psychodynamic approach, the Behaviourist approach, and the Cognitive approach.
For each of these approaches it will be necessary to focus upon:
- the main assumptions of each approach
- how each approach can be applied to one theory;
- how each approach can be applied in one form of therapy;
- the strengths and weaknesses of each approach;
- the four approaches in terms of similarities and/or differences (compare and contrast);
- an explanation and evaluation of the methodology of each approach.
Students will be expected to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how each approach has been applied to a theory and a therapy. Students should also be able to assess critically each approach in terms of its strengths and weaknesses and in terms of similarities and/or differences with other approaches. In addition, it will be necessary to explain and evaluate the methodology of each approach.
The theories and therapies relevant to each approach are set out in the table below:
Selye's General Adaptation
Psychosurgery or
Social Learning Theory of
Aversion Therapy or
Freud's theory of personality
Dream analysis or free association
Attribution theory
Cognitive Behavioural
The core theme for this unit is psychological research. It is designed to encourage students to explore the nature and practice of psychological enquiry. The unit comprises two parts: the Core Studies and Applied Research Methods.
Core Studies
The ten Core Studies cover research drawn from the main areas of Psychology. The focus for the Core Studies is for students to be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of psychological research, reflecting the diversity of psychological enquiry.
Students will also be expected to be able to assess critically each of the Core Studies in terms of its methodology and in terms of complementary/alternative research findings.
The following table illustrates how the Core Studies cover the main areas of Psychology: Social, Physiological, Cognitive, Developmental Psychology and Individual Differences.
For each Core Study, students should be able to describe:
- Aims and Context
- Procedures
- Findings and conclusions
- For each core study, candidates must be able to evaluate:
- The methodology used in the core study
- The findings/conclusions in comparison with complementary/alternative research findings
Applied Research Methods
The focus of this section is for students to apply their knowledge of research methods to a novel situation.
Students should be able to:
- Define and offer advantages and disadvantages of qualitative and quantitative research methods including laboratory experiments, field experiments, natural experiments, correlations, observations, questionnaires, interviews and case studies.
- Issues of reliability and ways of ensuring reliability (split-half, test-retest, interrater).
- Issues of validity (experimental and ecological) and ways of ensuring validity (content, concurrent, construct).
- Ethical issues relating to research including a lack of informed consent, the use of deception, a lack of the right to withdraw from the investigation, a lack of confidentiality, a failure to protect participants from physical and psychological harm.
- Define and offer advantages and disadvantages of different sampling methods including opportunity, quota, random, self-selected (volunteer), stratified and systematic.
- Define and offer advantages and disadvantages, and draw conclusions from the following ways of describing data, including:
- Development of a coding system - Mean - Scatter graphs
- Content analysis - Median - Bar charts
- Categorisation - Mode - Histograms
- Range
Unit 3: Research methods and issues in research
Students need to be able to apply and evaluate the following, using relevant psychological terms:
Research methods
- Aims and Hypotheses
- Design issues linked to research methods
- Operationalisation of key variables
- Different ways of overcoming confounding variables
- Ethical issues and ways of overcoming such issues in everyday research Procedures including sampling and choice of apparatus
- Appropriate selection of descriptive and inferential statistics
- Levels of significance
- Levels of measurement to include ordinal and inferential statistics
- he accurate use of statistical tests include Chi square, Mann Whitney, Wilcoxon Matched pairs, Spearman rank order
- Issues relating to findings including validity and reliability
Issues in research
- The advantages of the scientific method
- Ethical issues when using human participants
- Ethics associated with the use of non-human animals
- Ethical issues in the real world
Unit 4 (PY 4) Psychology: Controversies, Topics and Applications
Section A Controversies
Students develop a synoptic understanding by consolidating knowledge drawn from earlier study and applying it to wider issues of controversy in Psychology. Students will study four controversial issues:
- Methods of dealing with ethical issues involved in research with human participants
- Use of non-human animals in psychology
- Issues of gender bias in psychology
- Issues of cultural bias in psychology
Section B Topics
The focus within these topics is for candidates to be able to describe, analyse and evaluate information. Students will study:
Adolescence and Adulthood
- Lifespan theories of development (e.g. Erikson's 'Eight ages of man; Levinson's 'Seasons of a man's life; Gould's 'Evolution of adult consciousness').
- Explanations of Adolescent Identity (e.g. Blos' psychoanalytic theory; Erikson's theory of psychosocial development; Marcia's theory).
- Conflict during Adolescence including storm and stress and alternative views.
- Effects of events during Middle adulthood (e.g. marriage, parenthood, divorce).
- Effects of events during Late adulthood (e.g. retirement, adjustment to old age, bereavement).
Section C Applications
Students are expected to be able to describe and evaluate the following:
Forensic Psychology
- Approaches to profiling (e.g. the US 'Top down' approach, the British 'Bottom-up' approach and geographical profiling).
- Decision-making of juries (e.g. minority influence, majority influence and characteristics of the defendant).
- Theories of crime including biological and social/psychological influences.
- Factors affecting the accuracy of eyewitness testimony (e.g. reconstructive memory, face recognition, attribution biases, the role of emotion).
- Treatment and punishment of crime (e.g. cognitive therapies, behavioural therapies and zero tolerance).

- Two treatments for Unipolar Depression (e.g. behavioural therapies, cognitive therapies, humanistic therapies).
Entry requirements
Students are expected to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSEs to include:
- GCSE English grade B
- GCSE Maths grade C
- GCSE Science grade C
Our expectations within the Social Science Department
Within this department, we work very hard to ensure students and staff are treated fairly. In order for this to be achieved, we require that students attend all lessons and submit the necessary assignments on time.
It is also expected that students engage in additional reading around the topic areas. It is vital that at this stage in education, students behave accordingly to the school policy and maintain a positive and mature attitude during lessons.
Within the department, students will have access to a range of text books and the internet. Students will benefit from the use of laptops, which will aid them in their research. In addition to text books available in the department, the school library holds a wider range of books suitable for the A Level Psychology course. There will be additional reading sources available on 'Moodle', as well as class notes and resources aimed to support students through the course.

Falcons slip past Bison

By Jerry Holsworth - email@example.com
WOODSTOCK -- If Central's girls soccer team thought that an undefeated season, a regular season Shenandoah District championship and two regular season victories over Buffalo Gap would intimidate the Bison, the Falcons got a rude awakening shortly into their semifinal tournament match on Monday.
Try as Central might, Buffalo Gap's defense, led by freshman goalkeeper Maggie Keeler, refused to give in to a relentless Falcons attack.
"This was a really tough game," Falcons center midfielder Hannah Stephens said. "I've never seen Buffalo Gap play as hard as they did tonight. It was a fight from start to finish."
Central, after a frustrating, scoreless first half, however, made the necessary adjustments at halftime and finally took the Bison 3-1 to advance to Thursday's championship game against Riverheads at Central High School.
The scoreless first half wasn't due to a lack of opportunities, though. The Falcons outshot Buffalo Gap 11-5 during the first half and 5-1 over the first 10 minutes of play, but it just seemed like nothing worked.
With 15 minutes gone in the half, Falcons forward Katie Bennett was frustrated on a near-perfect header off a Katie Philpott corner kick when it went straight into the Bison goalkeeper's hands.
"It was very aggravating to get all of those opportunities and come away without a goal," Bennett said. "That was the first header I had ever tried in a game, and I was sure that it was going in. That was frustrating."
Fellow forward Theresa Barela had the same experience as Bennett twice in the first half. With 20 minutes left in the half, she launched a hard header of her own, only to see it bounce off the crossbar. Several minutes later, Barela shot a perfect ball from 20 yards out past Keeler only to watch hit the far post.
"I was actually feeling pretty good after that shot," Barela said. "Our coach teaches us to aim for the far post, and I guess I just did too good of a job of following his instructions. But I knew that if we kept plugging away, the shots would eventually go in."
Falcons coach Hap Kwiatkowski made an adjustment at halftime that countered the Bisons' defensive strategy and opened up more scoring opportunities for his team.
"They were playing an offsides trap on us in the first half," Kwiatkowski said. "We moved one of our forwards back to midfield and played a 4-4-2. That opened up some lanes for breakaways, and we were finally able to get some goals."
It took almost no time for the new strategy to work. Less than three minutes into the second half, a breakaway by Central forced a corner kick. When Barela's header bounced off the crossbar, Lia Gosney was right there to smash the ricochet into the net for the first Central goal of the game.
Eight minutes later, a breakaway by Philpott forced Keeler to leave the net. Philpott cleverly lofted the ball over Keeler's head for the second Central goal of the game.
Barela liked the strategy so much that 10 minutes later, she lofted a ball from 35 yards out that flew over Keeler's head for the Falcons' final goal of the game.
Buffalo Gap, trailing 3-0 with less than 20 minutes of play, was not yet ready to quit, and launched a furious attack on the Central goal.
Falcons goalkeeper Amanda Carmain was up to the challenge, making five second-half saves -- including two that she literally grabbed off a Bison player's foot.
"I really thought that our girls played about as hard and as well as they could play," Bison coach Jeff May said. "Central was able to take advantage of a couple of plays by Keeler that turned out to be a little too aggressive, but she just a freshman and overall she's had a great season."

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to Every OnePosted Monday, December 24, 2012, at 7:35 PM
It's Christmas time. Whether you're enjoying a houseful of friends and family, or just a quiet holiday, or patrolling, or dispatching, or rescuing, or firefighting, or nursing, or doctoring, or cooking, or cleaning, or running a press to get a paper out, or fixing something, or spreading sand and salt, or plowing roads, or working somewhere at something, I hope everyone has a safe, peaceful, Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
God Bless Us Every One
By James Whitcomb Riley
"God bless us every one!" prayed Tiny Tim,
He loved the loveless world, nor dreamed, indeed,
And thus he prayed, "God bless us every one!"
I like to fancy God, in Paradise,
The Anthem stilled--the angels leaning there

EDIT: May 2014 review of goals led to crossing out more accomplished ambitions that I'd expected!

Lemon-Raspberry Muffins
The secret to the sparkling flavor of these delicately crumbed muffins is the strips of lemon zest finely ground into the sugar. Enjoy the muffins warm right from the oven.
From EatingWell: July/August 2007
Yield: 1 dozen muffins
Active Time: 15
Total Time: 40
Yield: 1 dozen muffins
Active Time: 15
Total Time: 40
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup nonfat buttermilk, (see Tip)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour, or whole-wheat pastry flour (see Shopping Tip)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen (not thawed) raspberries
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 large (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the lemon in long strips. Combine the zest and sugar in a food processor; pulse until the zest is very finely chopped into the sugar. Add buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla and pulse until blended.
- Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture and fold until almost blended. Gently fold in raspberries. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.
- Bake the muffins until the edges and tops are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Wrap each in plastic and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap muffin in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Tip: No buttermilk? Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice into 1 cup milk.
- Shopping Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole wheat. Whole-wheat pastry flour can be used as a substitute here. Both can be found in the natural-foods section of the supermarket or online from King Arthur Flour, bakerscatalogue.com.

PWD have had a long, interesting, and conflicted relationship with mice. The annual Friends for Life conference is held at Disney World (one of Mickey Mouse's Houses).

Filmmakers Discover a God-ordained Story
- Friday, November 08, 2013
Christina and Nathanael Matanick have landed on a story they're ecstatic about. It's based on a true story. It's an adaptation of a book. It's set internationally and on a topic that shows how God is moving around the world.
But that's all we can tell you right now.
The Matanicks are young filmmakers who won Best Film at the 168 Film Festival, earning a prize of up to $1 million to make a feature-length film through EchoLight Studios. EchoLight Studios has yet to approve the script, so in the meantime the Matanicks need to keep their idea under wraps. If the studio likes it, the couple will move on to the next phase of the movie-making process. If the studio doesn't like the idea, the couple has a number of back-up scripts they also would be excited to make. But the Matanicks still plan on making a film on their story idea, even if they have to do it down the road.
"We are pursuing it regardless," Nathanael said. "For me winning [the 168 Film Festival] is more about giving ourselves the confidence to start moving ahead to make the film."
For the past few weeks, the Matanicks have been living and breathing the story. In the morning as they eat breakfast and get the kids dressed, they discuss what needs to get done that day. While Nathanael still needs to work at his job making commercials, he shares his vision and ideas with Christina, who then puts them into action.
Between taking care of her two children, Christina reads about how to write screenplays and dives into books about the country where the story takes place. She plans meetings, responds to emails, but mostly she writes. Besides writing three drafts of the screenplay, she's also competed in 168 Film's Write of Passage, a contest that gives writers a week to write a short film script.
"I do feel like it's way above my head, people spend years and years to learn how to do it really well," she said of her first time writing a script for a feature-length film. "I don't care if I'm the one who writes the final version, right now I'm doing it out of necessity to give a vision for what the film is going to be."
As she writes, Christina finds her own personality comes through in the drafts. She hates conflicts and wants to write in resolutions quickly for her characters. But as story hinges on conflicts, she's had to hold back. Christina also found her drafts are dialogue-heavy as she tries to explain everything going on in her characters' heads.
That's where Nathanael's visual creativity comes in. As he drives home from work, he listens to movie scores similar to the music he foresees for their film. Through the music, he pictures scenes based on story lines he's discussed with Christina. He imagines how characters interact with each other, the mood of the scene, and the characters' personalities. When he gets home, he walks Christina through the scenes, and she tries to incorporate them into the script.
"For me that's so exciting," Nathanael said. "It's hard to get to a place where we get the clear vision, and a film can fail or succeed based on the vision. … Does [the filmmaker] know what he wants?"
Once Christina finishes a draft, Nathanael reads it, making notes and writing if he has time. Then Christina starts work on the next draft, refining, editing, and adding in new scenes.
After winning the deal with EchoLight, the Matanicks have had very little direction from the studio. Lately EchoLight has been dealing with issues of its own: Earlier this month, CEO Rick Santorum fired the studio's co-founders and sued them for orchestrating a "campaign of sabotage." The studio recently hired Jeff Sheets as its new president and released the film Christmas Candle.

U.S. Postal Service:
Agencies Distribute Fund-raising Stamp Proceeds and Improve Reporting
GAO-08-45: Published: Oct 30, 2007. Publicly Released: Oct 30, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6570
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As required by Congress, the U.S. Postal Service (Service) has issued three fundraising stamps--also called semipostals--which are sold at a higher price than First-Class stamps, with the difference distributed to designated federal agencies for specific causes. The proceeds from the three stamps are to fund breast cancer research, assistance to families of emergency relief personnel killed or permanently disabled in the terrorist attacks of September 11, and services to children exposed to domestic violence. Of the three stamps, the Breast Cancer Research stamp is the only semipostal currently being sold. GAO has issued three prior reports on semipostals. To provide Congress updated information, GAO examined (1) the amount of money that has been raised through the sale of semipostals, and (2) how the designated federal agencies have used the proceeds and reported the results.
As of June 2007, more than$68 million has been raised through semipostal sales. Of the three semipostals, the Breast Cancer Research stamp had proceeds totaling approximately $54.6 million, the Heroes of 2001 stamp had proceeds totaling about $10.6 million, and the Stop Family Violence stamp had proceeds totaling about $3.2 million. The authorized sale period for each semipostal affected the funds raised. In discussions with relevant agencies, advocacy groups and fund-raising organizations, several factors were identified that affected semipostal sales. These factors include public awareness about the charitable cause that a stamp represents, the stamp's design, and confusion about how the proceeds will be used. All four of the designated federal agencies have distributed proceeds from their respective semipostals. Both the Department of Defense (DOD) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) continue to award grants and fund programs for research with proceeds from the Breast Cancer Research stamp, and have added new programs to distribute the proceeds. The Administration for Children (ACF) within Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) used the proceeds from the Stop Family Violence stamp to award nine grants to programs that support children who have been exposed to domestic violence. Also, the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) recently distributed the last of the proceeds from the Heroes of 2001 stamp to the families of emergency relief personnel who were either killed or permanently disabled while serving in the line of duty in connection with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In September 2005, GAO recommended that the designated federal agencies annually report to Congress on their use of semipostal proceeds. DOD and ACF have submitted reports to Congress, and FEMA plans to report in the near future. NIH does not plan to prepare a report for Congress, but offers information on NIH's use of Breast Cancer Research stamp proceeds on its public website. But, NIH's website did not provide detailed information on proceeds received, how proceeds were used and related achievements.

Lava Heights Academy is a residential treatment center located in Utah and we serve families all over the United States. Parents in Florida can take comfort that their kids will be in great hands.
Our program serves troubled teens who are in need of immediate psychiatric and substance abuse intervention. These youths are not yet capable to live in group home or are not so far off that they merit being placed in a psychiatric hospital.

antelope introduction
Antelope, a common name applied a diverse group of hollow horned mammal of the same family as cattle, goats and sheep. Approximately 100 species of antelopes live in Africa and Asia, including some of the fastest mammals and stylish shoes in the world, and some of the most endangered. In size from small antelope Royal, about 25 cm (10 inches) high at the shoulder, the dynamics of the massive construction joint. Some are better known antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest.
Antelopes are very different in their physical appearance and their lifestyle. Some antelopes, including some of the smaller species, to cover the surrounding area and disappears into the undergrowth when disturbed, but most live in a more open habitat in which they are based on the speed and vigilance to avoid attacks. The species can escape their skills to magnificent leap, predators, for example, over fences 3 m (10 ft) climb high, and coverage of 10 m (33 ft) single jump.
Unlike deer, which branches made of wood annually, antelope horns have been reported, that will remain throughout life. Antelope horns reach 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, they look great, but their value is limited as weapons. There are records of antelope impale (harpoon), and even kill large predators such as lions, but face danger antelope expire sooner.
Some antelopes are solitary but most live in herds. At the end of the year 1800 are herds of gazelles in South Africa sometimes more than 10 million animals that are spread over a distance of 160 km (100 miles) included. Although the herds are small and unbelievably today, the antelope still dominate life in the plains of Africa. They help the grass grow plants nibble of the competition, and food for predators and also for the people.
