When Thurz is rolling down the block, he prefers to do it in an Acura Legend. Not because of the vehicle's high performance and luxurious options—although those are certainly dope—but because its model name lets onlookers know precisely what class of individual is inside. On the latest single off his forthcoming digital album (following December's inspired Keep Livin'), the Inglewood emcee takes some time out to remind listeners that he's flyer than Perseus. Frequent collaborator THX takes his cues from the record's automotive theme, packing his minimalistic beat with all the booming bass your subwoofers can handle. For this braggadocio-packed street banger and much more, check out Blood on the Canvas when it drops digitally this March.

Moving into the mainstream
Monday 27 November 1995
Indeed, this has been the decade that has seen gay culture move smartly from the margins and into the mainstream. Consider: gay-influenced cinema (from Poison to Philadelphia), dance music, OutRage!, Michael Barrymore bursting from the closet, gays going to law to join the military, the high-rated arrival of Gaytime TV on BBC2, the campaigning Sir Ian McKellen receiving tea and sympathy from the Prime Minister, a veritable Swimming Pool Library of books, from The Lost Language of Cranes to The Folding Star, the gay theatre eruption (Beautiful Thing, Burning Blue et al), a parliamentary vote on an equal age of consent (defeated, although the age of 21 was dropped to 18), the outing controversy and, of course, continual reporting on Aids.
Ironically, Aids is perhaps the main reason for gay men's new visibility (though Aids, of course, is not a "gay disease"). Incessant media coverage has demystified that last great taboo, gay sex; the once "disgusting" details are now a commonplace. And, while killing off many major gay artists - Derek Jarman, Robert Mapplethorpe, Michael Bennett to name but three - Aids has given focus and impetus to previously diffuse or covert gay art. Result: fresh faces, rallying points, more messages aimed at the masses, barriers broken down.
Aids, and the anger it brings, encourages the overt, not only in creative terms, but ideologically, too. From the grassroots up, gay men are now more alive to politics, and its uses, than at any time since the 1969 Stonewall riots that ushered in the first era of "gay liberation". If gay men are becoming more influential, it is partly because influence is openly sought in a manner hitherto unthinkable - Stonewall, OutRage! and other gay organisations may not have got all they wanted, but they guided the age of consent clause through the House of Commons with skill. They knew the system, and how to play it.
This hard-learnt expertise shouldn't encourage false optimism. Note that the list that we present over the next four pages is heavily skewed towards gay men in the perennial comfort zone of the arts. That's partly true to life, and partly because many gay men in, say, big business, politics, the church, sport, education, medicine and the law still fear their careers would be held back, if not ended, if their sexual orientation were to become public knowledge. Others men we contacted felt that their private lives were no one's business but their own - which disqualified them from consideration for the list, because the use of one's public platform or position to explain, inform and challenge misconceptions about homosexuality was the primary criterion for inclusion. The famous gay men not on this list are very influential, but only in their fields of endeavour, and then often only at a price. That price is silence about their sexuality.
Still, these men have their kudos and cash to keep them warm. Those "ordinary" gay men - schoolteachers, factory workers, shop assistants - who are the majority within the minority seldom have the luxury of choice. The men on this list may or may not see themselves as role models - or may actually be impatient with the idea of positive representation - but their work might radically change the lives of their comrades-in-arms and, in doing so, also alter the heterosexual world around them. Which is influence indeed.
BBC independents commissioning executive, factual programmes
Long before he brought the high-rating Gaytime TV to BBC2, Attwell produced the UK's first series for homosexuals, Gay Life, for LWT. His commitment to commissioning an intelligent, style-flecked and thoughtful diversity of gay images is not in doubt. Which is also true of his commitment to smart television generally. After all, his ad hoc association with the independent TV company Planet 24 while at Channel 4 gave us The Big Breakfast. Now he is in charge of one of the largest budgets in television.
Attwell: "Commissioning gay programmes is a small proportion of what I do. But when the opportunity has arisen I've been happy to play my part."
Who would have thought the coming out of a television light entertainer would provide the surest proof yet - post-Elton John - that the nation did not much care about the sexuality of its popular favourites; especially if their stock-in-trade is that campy combo of laughter and tears. When this summer the host of My Kind of People finally ended months of speculation, the tabloids thought they were on to a scandal: Barrymore was dumping his manager and wife, Cheryl, he was having a breakdown, he had misled the public, etc. The self-same public responded with either support or indifference (though if it had known Barrymore was poised to perform "I Am What I Am" at the Stonewall Equality Benefit, it might have considered screaming). The star's ratings remain intact. Whether this encourages other famous faces to remove their masks remains to be seen.
Barrymore: "Coming out saved my life."
Writer, performer, director
Bartlett has been at the heart of the explosion of gay art following the debate over Section 28 of the Local Government Act, which was widely seen as an attack on gay culture. With the theatre company Gloria, which he co-founded with the composer Nicolas Bloomfield, he has been pivotal in forcing mainstream recognition of uncompromising gay work on the stage. In addition to his theatre work, he has published a novel, a study of Oscar Wilde and translations of Racine and Genet. Since taking over as director at the Lyric Hammersmith in London, he has refused to backtrack, providing popular programming with a gay subtext, for instance, casting Joanna Lumley to play Somerset Maugham.
Bartlett: "I used to upset people by appearing naked or in drag. I now upset people by creating regular returns queues at the Lyric."
Pop Svengali
The managing director of terminally hip and aggressively profitable London Records runs what he dubs a gay-friendly label. It is not exclusively gay, but it enjoys a certain canny crossover into the mainstream. Bell has been a central figure in gay pop. He was involved in Jimmy Somerville's career and also with the perhaps even gayer (in taste terms) Bananarama, not to mention East 17, the gay disco dance favourites New Order, Ace of Base and even Whigfield. Which is what you would expect from the man who broke through by managing the Tom Robinson band ("Sing if you're glad to be gay").
Rabbi and religious pundit
The Rev Ernest Rea, head of BBC religious broadcasting, describes Blue as "the most popular contributor to Radio 4's Thought for the Day. He is genuinely loved". Since coming out publicly in 1989, something of a first for a rabbi, he has been unequivocal about his sexuality. In an interview in the Independent last year he spoke of Jim, his partner of 16 years. During the Age of Consent campaign he was one of 150 high-profile signatories to a letter in the MPs' and peers' journal, the House Magazine, alongside Rabbis Hugo Gryn and Julia Neuberger plus the Bishops of Edinburgh and Monmouth demanding the acceptance of equality at 16.
Blue: "I get love mail, hate mail and occasionally smutty letters. I used to feel very angry about the difficult hand God has dealt me, but being Jewish and gay has given me a great sense of empathy with all outsiders."
Everyone mistakenly imagines the entire dance world to be gay; yet few choreographers have consistently used openly gay characterisation in their work. Bourne is an exception. Artistic director of Adventures in Motion Pictures (AMP) which he co-founded in 1985, Bourne is one of the leading choreographers of his generation. He has won prizes and commissions for the wit and theatricality of his choreography. Purists sometimes wince, but AMP attracts a far wider audience than most dance companies. A self- evident gay sensibility informs his work from the witty "Spitfire", danced in a variety of men's underwear, to his latest and massively popular "Swan Lake", which replaces the female corps de ballet with powerfully erotic choreography for men and places tortured sexuality at the heart of the piece.
A distinguished barrister with nearly 10 years experience on the Bar Council, Bowley QC was told by the head of judicial appointments in 1985 that gays should not be given full-time appointments. In 1988, while a part-time judge, he was outed by the Sun, which published letters to his lover stolen by a failed blackmailer. He tendered his resignation as a judge, which Lord Mackay "regretfully" accepted. A leading criminal barrister, he is now president of the Bar Lesbian and Gay Group. He campaigns vigorously for progressive reform of the law and equality within the legal profession. He has written extensively on the case in which four former members of the armed services are aiming to overturn the MoD's blanket ban on gays in the military.
Conservative MP
A former junior whip, the Conservative MP for Brigg and Cleethorpes had his relationship with a male student splashed across the News of the World in May 1994. Brown continues to serve his constituency, making him the only out Tory MP. He chaired the meeting of the Tory Campaign for Homosexual Equality at this year's Brighton conference. Should he keep his seat at the next election, it could spur other closeted MPs on all sides of the house to come out. Brown recently filed a Commons Question about the ban on gays in the military in which he asked: "Why is it I can serve as a Member of Parliament but not serve in the armed forces?"
Now being courted by publishers after the success of What Are You Looking At?, a collection of essays with something to offend everyone, Burston is the bright, bad boy of gay culture (the gay section of London's listing magazine Time Out is his platform). Burston has a habit of pointing out the endemic bickering and increasing shallowness of much right-on gay culture - "Gay is good was the slogan we all used to sing before we all went shopping" - has earned him enemies. His writing explains and entertains. But he operates inside a contradiction: the ultimate aim of gay politics is assimilation, yet he is denounced for writing outside the ghetto, which is why he is influential.
Burston: "I am opposed to the sort of clap-happy cheerleading that often passes for gay thought."
Writer, director, actor
Interviewed by a tabloid newspaper in the Eighties, Callow was asked if he was bisexual. "Certainly not," he exclaimed, "I'm homosexual." The interview was scrapped. Callow has been out since he appeared in Passing By, Martin Sherman's play for Gay Sweatshop in 1975, and wrote eloquently on the subject in his first book, Being an Actor. He continues to play straight and gay roles, while directing opera, theatre and writing biography.
Some believe the gayest thing Daldry has done was to pose shirtless on the steps of the Royal Court. Although he has directed little openly gay material, he has programmed and commissioned a range of lesbian and gay work from such writers as Neil Bartlett, Lloyd Newson and Phyllis Nagy. Some argue that a gay sensibility is also discernible in his directing style. The powerful designs and visuals of An Inspector Calls and Machinal come from his partner, Ian MacNeil. Sensitive to criticism, he has a genius for fund-raising and publicity. His star continues to rise.
Writer, film director
Seldom have the aches and pains of growing up gay been so accurately captured as in the films of Davies. And seldom has the mainstream audience been so warmly invited to partake of the experience. The multi-prize-winning Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes refashion the concerns of an earlier and "artier" trilogy. His entry into Hollywood with The Neon Bible allows him to match message and machine, which seems to be the summation of Davies's ambitions: gay man at liberty in the world's dream factory.
Davies: "People accuse me of being a miserable bugger ... which I am."
Political activist
Never heard of him? Well, his seven-year struggle through the Northern Irish, English and European legal systems, all the way to the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, finally concluded in 1982, forcing the then government to decriminalise gay men in Northern Ireland, despite the Rev Ian Paisley's "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign.
Dudgeon: "I thought my case proved that we are just not that different."
Dyer has done Dietrich for The Late Show, programmed a season on body- building for the National Film Theatre and also written at least three influential, much-borrowed-from texts: Gays and Film (1977), Stars (1979) and Heavenly Bodies (1987). He brings an elegant blend of analysis, insight and gossip to the academic study of films and television, from the Hollywood musical to the iconography of stardom.
Writer, reviewer, television and radio presenter
The fact that Gambaccini can be everywhere - fronting Radio 3's Morning Collection, sitting on the GMTV sofa, popping up regularly on Radio 4's arts programme Kaleidoscope, then switch to Aids fund-raising - he is a patron of the Terrence Higgins Trust - and campaign for gay rights says a lot about the effectiveness of the American expat's unapologetic but low-key approach to his sexuality.
Gambaccini: "I never think 'I am a gay man on TV or a gay man on radio'. I'm just me. To me, my sexuality is ... fundamental. Like breathing."
After 25 years together, Gilbert (52, from the Dolomites) and George (53, from Devon) are the best-known British artists of their generation. After meeting at St Martin's School of Art in 1967, the pair performed as living sculptures, becoming their own work, which they have done in different forms ever since. Although their most successful collaboration may have been their Are they, Aren't they? games with the media. This year's Naked Shit pictures were typically controversial.
Gilbert and George: "We bring out the bigot from inside the liberal and vice-versa. We are anti the idea of appealing to the drawing-room connoisseur. We want to terrorise the viewer. That's what the Christian church did for long enough, and it's our turn now."
The young (27) Liverpudlian is "the most prominent stage voice of his generation". That is debatable, but he is the most distinctive and the funniest. Beautiful Thing enjoyed a sold-out West End run - as did his recent Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club - and is to become a Channel 4 film. His gay characters are everyday, some might say unthreatening. We should hear a lot more of him.
Harvey: "When I was growing up, the only images of gay men I saw were in films like Another Country - public schoolboys. If you saw someone who was working class, the chances were they'd end up as a rent boy. I'm trying to redress the balance."
Hockney, 58, is Britain's most popular living artist and one of its most famous gay men. His drawing, painting and photography are essentially autobiographical. He is a key figure in the reintroduction of the male nude in art, and any doubts about his sexuality were squashed by the 1974 film A Bigger Splash, which documented his life. His work is in galleries everywhere and his posters hang in thousands of homes.
Hockney: "It doesn't dominate my life, sex, at all ... People used to think it was all cooking and boys around the pool. I spend all my time painting. Most artists do."
Editor, author
After his first book, The Swimming Pool Library, went well, the Times said that Hollinghurst's second novel, the Booker-nominated The Folding Star, had gone beyond "gay fiction": "He has been accepted unambiguously into the metropolitan literary pantheon." That is the good news for the Times Literary Supplement editor. But he is not to everyone's taste: one suspects those who have been praising him cannot have read many gay novels or they would see through the achingly poetic prose to the tired plots beneath. Hollinghurst has taken sexually charged gay material to the heart of British publishing.
Hollinghurst: "It's a nightmare writing in the first person."
Singer, songwriter
Wearing giant sequined glasses, glitzy platform boots and full-length fur can make officially coming out just a bit redundant. Which explains the complete lack of shock when John, newly married and freshly divorced, came out. Career safe and a libel action against the Sun in 1988 handily won after allegations of sex with rent boys, it soon became clear that an adoring public wanted dear old Reg Dwight to be happy after titanic struggles with drugs, booze and his own sexuality. Though his songs are seldom explicitly gay, his charity work - for Stonewall and his own Aids foundation - is.
John: "I can't compromise my life."
Equal rights advocate
As the general secretary and public face of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, Kirker is a television regular. He has been at the forefront of the campaign for gay equality within the clergy. Kirker is the man who plainly but passionately argues the case for change, for the church to accept its many lesbians and gay men "openly, honestly and fully". His doggedness has paid off. He is another ace fund-raiser: when the LGCM report Reconsider is published this week, its costs will be met partly by corporate funding.
Kirker: "Challenging institutionalised homophobia came naturally to me once I realised the power we all have to create change."
DAVID McALMONT
Lyricist, pop singer
The black community does not have many gay icons so the androgynous, angel-voiced McAlmont is doubly welcome. As with the black gay film director Isaac Julien (Looking for Langston, Young Soul Rebels), McAlmont hops genres, influences and cultures with ease, first with the band Thieves, now as one half of McAlmont and Butler. McAlmont's lyrics - melodramatic, chilly, defiant yet pained - are acutely gay, but the great British CD-owning public is buying his product in droves. Lucky for them that the Guyanese faith healer who tried to cast out the "demon" of the teenage McAlmont's homosexuality failed.
McAlmont: "I didn't have anybody there for me. I hope I can be there for others who are unsure about themselves."
Dubbed in 1983 one of Britain's Best Young Novelists (cue chat shows, broadsheet profiles, rave reviews) Mars-Jones, a recent Booker Prize judge and this newspaper's lead film critic, first gained attention with Hoosh- Mi, a short story about the Queen being bitten by a royal corgi and developing rabies. Mars-Jones is dispassionate yet extraordinarily detailed: the combination lures even the most resistant reader, urging understanding.
Mars-Jones: "I don't sit down to write from a gay viewpoint. It just happens that way."
SIR IAN McKELLEN
Actor, activist
"I'm rather ashamed of the first 49 years of my life," said Ian McKellen, after coming out in 1988 during the fight against Section 28 of the Local Government Bill. He made his name playing a gay role as Marlowe's Edward II in 1970 and played Max in Martin Sherman's avowedly gay play Bent in 1979. He was a founder member of Stonewall, the lesbian and gay lobbying group. Regarded by many as a figurehead for the movement, he profoundly dislikes the description. He continues to tour his one-man show, A Knight Out, which was unveiled on Broadway celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots which began the modern gay movement. He considers himself not as "a classical actor", but as "a gay man who acts".
Writer, journalist
His vivid, semi-autobiographical novel, A Matter of Life and Sex, is a touchstone for many, but the editor-in-chief of movie trade magazine Screen International is best known for his remarkable weekly Guardian column about living with being HIV positive. His controlled writing, tart insights and inexhaustible wit reach way beyond a gay readership. His openness and playfulness erode shame, fear and, hopefully, bigotry.
Moore: "Our strongest weapons are not political grapeshot, but irony in the face of fire."
DV8's artistic director and choreographer, Newson is one of the chief exponents of physical theatre, a massively influential cross between dance and theatre. Newson has made sexuality central to his work which he has toured widely throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. His Enter Achilles, a dance work, will be filmed by the BBC.
Former Tory MP, bright, but sure he would never make it to the top, Parris was briefly a TV interviewer before becoming an award-winning political sketch writer and columnist for the Times. It is not just that he is witty and insightful. His many fans admire his openness, sensitivity and unfailing good manners. Parris responded to the death of Stephen Milligan MP, dressed in a bin bag and women's stockings, by writing a moving account of how bizarre and isolating life was for backbenchers.
Chief executive, Terrence Higgins Trust
He is the first port of call for the media whenever an Aids scare story appears, a new drug has been shown to fail, or if Aids funding is again in the limelight. Which is as it should be; Partridge's brand of calm common sense is welcomed by a sometimes panic-stricken gay community as well as the world beyond. His bridge-building between both has encountered criticism. But his integrity and devotion - he has been with the trust since 1986 - make him the right man to handle not only the media interest in the epidemic, but also a staff of 60, 1,400 volunteers and an annual budget of pounds 3.1m.
Screenwriter, presenter
The forthcoming BBC2 film, Nervous Energy, an autobiographical love story about life, hope and loss in the age of Aids, will doubtless add to the American-born, British resident's reputation as the dramatist who has done most to present complex, engaging and eloquently complete images of gay men on prime-time TV. Rock Follies broke new ground in its straightforward treatment of gay characters. Gay characters also adorn Upline, Video Stars and the banned TV play, Censored Scenes from King Kong.
Schuman: "I've hung on long enough to see real progress."
Labour MP
The personable, permanently sober Smith's constituents support his open homosexuality. The new shadow heritage minister's honesty (a gay man in charge of the nation's culture) has helped win the support of his party and the respect of the electorate. His example may have prompted the selection of the lesbian Katie Hanson as Labour candidate for the Tory stronghold of Woking at the next election. Smith has rising star status and in a Tony Blair government is likely to be the most powerful openly gay politician of recent years. Homophobes should not think mild- mannered Smith is a pushover.
Smith: "I'm quite capable of giving as good as I get."
Author, pundit, panelist, personality
From Noel Coward to Gilbert Harding to a certain contemporary art critic:Starkey stands in a tradition of bolshie, bitchy, upmarket Tory queens. Still, the historian's impatience with hypocrisy cuts against the stereotype of his grand duchess manners and Dame Edith Evans voice. Whether shredding sundry pieties on Radio 4's Moral Maze or chairing Torche, the Tory Campaign for Homosexual Equality (from which he has since resigned), the man known as the rudest in Britain glories in frightening people. On the gay age of consent, he famously told Jeffrey Archer on Question Time: "Englishmen sit on the fence so much because they enjoy the sensation." His high visibility and high malice are the stylised expression of gay men's frustration with an unthinking world.
Starkey: "Being gay is quite important in terms of a - how shall I say? - general element of stroppiness, of being pretty sceptical about the appearance of things."
With Bronski Beat and later the Communards, and with a successful solo career, angry young Somerville made pop political by taking what was often covert in a recording and making it overt (those cover versions of "Don't Leave Me This Way" and "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real"). He has provided snapshots of his gay generation - "Smalltown Boy" (he's leaving home), "Tell Me Why" (he's leaving homophobia). As Somerville's falsetto once memorably insisted, there's more to life than boy meets girl.
Somerville: "I've discovered myself. I've also discovered what it's like to be touched by the grief and anger of Aids, which has taken away several close friends."
Editor, author
Gay men of most political hues were puzzled by the ecstatic critical reaction won by Sullivan's essay, "Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality". They had been debating the same stuff (bigotry, equality, gay marriage) for decades without attracting media attention. But then Sullivan is unusual: the openly gay editor of a leading US political magazine, The New Republic. His credentials have earned him a hearing in arenas previously deaf to gay concerns; he has a power to persuade as well as plead.
Writer, activist
Saint or Satan? The Australian-born former Labour candidate for Bermondsey, south London, circa 1983, has many pluses to recommend him. As early as 1972 he fought the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness, his co-ordination of a mass candlelight vigil in London is widely credited with forcing the inclusion of a commitment to opposing anti-HIV discrimination at the 1988 World Aids Summit. But for many these accomplishments are overshadowed by his outing activities with OutRage!, the organisation he helped found, accused by gays and straights alike of doing the tabloids' job for them.
Tatchell: "In fighting for the rights of queers, we are helping to create a more sexually emancipated society which benefits everyone - both gay and straight."
Songwriter, singer
Tennant only came out last year, an essentially superfluous act after 1992's indiscreet South Bank Show profile. The Pet Shop Boys' music - deadpan disco and cocktail ballads - have teasingly proclaimed a definite sexual perspective since the release of "West End Girls" 11 years ago. Tennant and partner Chris Lowe have produced an aural map of gay men's urban lives, from ironic early Eighties hedonism to navigating adult passion in the aftermath of Aids (and have collaborated with gay icons Dusty Springfield and Lisa Minnelli). They still get most of the Western world to dance and sing-a-long to the queerest things. Album units shifted globally are about 25 million.
Tennant: "It's kind of macho nowadays to prove you can cut it live. I quite like proving we can't cut it live."
Born in 1905, Tippett is one of the two or three greatest living British composers. His vocal works are probably his most important and, unlike most composers, he writes his own texts. Where his contemporary, Benjamin Britten, always had a much more oblique stance about homosexuality, Tippett is out and several of his key compositions have had openly gay themes. King Priam (1962), his second opera, dealt movingly with the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, while The Knot Garden (1976) included an openly gay couple.
Director-general of ABSA
Tweedy has never before publicly stated that he is gay. Although he has never hidden his sexuality, always taking his partner of 17 years' standing to formal events, he has chosen to come out as an example to others. As director-general of the Association for Business Sponsorship of the Arts, he has an increasingly important role within both the public and private sectors. He is vice-chairman of CEREC, a similar pan-European body, and is a trustee and council member of numerous charities and trusts. He is constantly moving between the different worlds of the arts, business and government.
Tweedy: "I believe it is important to be honest and to act as a role model for others."
Writer, historian, Aids activist
A Vanity Fair profile called him "an odd mixture of tweedy and hip". His Policing Desire: Pornography, Aids and the Media, published in 1987, was the first sociological study of the disease. He has written regular columns for Artforum, Gay Times, pieces for the psychoanalytic media mag Screen. He co-founded the in-your-face activist outfit OutRage! Involved in gay and socialist politics since the early Seventies, Watney has influenced not only an entire generation of gay thinkers and street fighters; many love him, some loathe him. No one writing seriously about Aids or gay (or British) life in any context can afford to ignore him: he stimulates debate.
Watney: "I am a very old-fashioned English liberal."
Medicine is not renowned for its openly gay men and women: the sparsely attended Gay Medical Association collapsed several years ago. Within the HIV/Aids discipline the climate is healthier. The 35-year-old Youle is known internationally for his research work in HIV. He is based at London's Kobler Centre which has developed an interactive, multi-disciplinary approach towards research, delivering a host of treatments to a well-informed patient base. Youle says: "As a gay man with many friends affected by HIV, it is important to me work in this field. The achievements of the past 10 years make the tragedy of the epidemic easier to bear."

Do you know what's in your wine? Wine-making has become ever-more unnatural, from the use of blanket crop-spraying in vineyards, to the over-use of sulphites, but finally someone is doing something about it. Isabelle Legeron MW, otherwise known as "That Crazy French Woman", is leading the campaign for natural wine wine made as nature intended. There is no official description of natural wine, but a rough definition is that it is made from grapes that are farmed organically or biodynamically and harvested manually, and that the wine should ideally be made without adding or removing anything during the vinification process. It is basically good old-fashioned grape juice fermented into wine, just as nature intended. That Crazy French Woman is a crusader for the natural wine movement: she has her own show on the Travel Channel, organises a hugely successful annual natural wine festival (RAW) in London, and acts as adviser to several leading restaurants. Just as the craft beer movement has taken off across the globe, the demand for natural wine is growing and will continue to do so.

May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Language Arts
Reading-Our week was filled with visiting the literacy centers related to "Modern Day Pilgrims". These were described in last week's blog entry. A wonderful collection of books were chosen for reading and response activities.
Pajama/Read All Day was filled with books. For each subject area, a book was selected. Thanks, Moms!
Word Study-We practiced the spellings of -tch and-ch in the Sort 12 list.
Writing-The goal for the week was to understand how using conjunctions help us build our sentence fluency as we create compound sentences. First of all, we used music to understand what conjunctions are. I'm sure you remember the Schoolhouse Rock songs. Well, your kids liked "Conjunction Junction, What's the Function?" as well as the Conjunction Rap. Using the acronym FANBOYS helped us remember the coordinating conjunctions, and the daily practice writing compound sentences was helpful too. Work on our research paper continued with lots of note taking and paragraph writing.
A quadrilateral quest to learn about the attributes of squares, rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, and quadrilaterals was on the agenda this week. We used geoboards, studied a power point lesson, learned the Quadrilateral Dance, sang songs, and solved quadrilateral riddles.
Here we are doing the Quadrilateral Dance!
On Friday, we used the book Oma's Quilt to launch a STEM activity. We designed a quilt piece with quadrilaterals as designs.
Science/STEM Lab
Your child experimented with sand to learn about erosion. They saw how wind and water can erode our beaches, and tried to prevent this by building walls to protect the land.
We Appreciate Our Classroom Helpers!!!

Shared Reading-We are continuing our reading of Lighthouses, Beacons of the Past, asking questions before reading, and then looking for the answers. We are coding the questions to see if they are answered in the book, answered by inferencing, or if we need another source to find the answer. Noting interesting information, the students write new facts they learned on the K-W-L sheet. We have also read Molly's Pilgrim which launched our new literacy center rotation. This book helped the children see the point of view of an immigrant child trying to adapt to a new culture and school. A response book recorded our comprehension and thinking.
Literacy Centers-"They're Coming to America" theme!
Listening-The Hand Me Down Horse-After listening, the students think and chart their connections to the book.
Skill-Finishing up our "Autumn in Georgia" poem and publishing it.
Response-A variety of fiction books with the theme of immigration is at this center. Students choose a book, and after reading, select a book project card to show their thoughts.
Guided Reading-Each group is practicing "close reading" and using color coding to locate answers to questions. Topics include Veteran's Day, Pocahontas, and Paul Revere.
Word Study-We're learning about metaphors and similes. On Veteran's Day we thought of a metaphor that captured our feelings about America. We used our Sort 11 words in sentences with similes. The word sort practiced was -dge, -ge, or r,n, l + ge endings.
Metaphors About America
Writing-Everyone has chosen an animal that lives in a region of Georgia for another informational writing. We are taking notes on special features of the animal, and will write terrific paragraphs on this task. I'm modeling the process with a research of the green anole. On Monday, the students used the Pebble Go biography site to find out about a famous person. This was done in the computer lab with the help of Mrs. Janice Kelley. Then, the students summarized the person's life in a biographical informational piece.
A "Twizzlers" fraction activity kicked off our study of fractions on a number line. We learned that you can show "fair shares" on a number line by partitioning it into parts of a whole. During center time and math group time we learned how to solve fractional parts word problems using number lines, pictures, and number bonds. Other activities included a fraction color tile guessing activity, fraction games, computer games, math art with fractional pieces, and "Fraction Avenue". An assessment on fractions was given on Thursday, and another problem solving practice was completed on Friday.
Mrs. Mills planned a wonderful science lesson to show the plants that live in our Piedmont region. Our outdoor classroom on the Wildlife Habitat was visited. The students dug in the soil to see its composition, and observed the gorgeous fall leaves everywhere. Then, they made leaf rubbings of samples from the trees.
Animal adaptations was the standard for the week. We watched videos and discussed how animals use physical and behavioral adaptations to live in the regions of Georgia.

Thank You, Parents!
Alicia Poage was the Clerical Mom and Chris Lahti was our Mystery Reader!
Thanks to all of you for sending in the cans of fruit for the Food Drive!
Your help in finding articles for the informational writing sure saved me a lot of time!
Selling the raffle tickets for the Foundation fundraiser is much appreciated too!
We're all looking forward to our Fall Book Fair next week, November 17th-21st!

Hello Families,
Our class sold 44 tickets so far and we are so close to winning a Playground Party! We are only 6 tickets away! We could also win a Game Truck Party if we sell 100 tickets total by Monday! We have one more week, so please help us reach this fun goal for the kids while supporting our school STEM goals at the same time. Remember, all tickets (sold and unsold) and money collected need to be returned to school next Monday. Thank you!

The Wise Guys are enjoying fall!
Language Arts
Shared Reading-We focused on an important reading strategy, questioning. The unit started with a model of questioning, coding the different ways we found the answers as we read Lighthouse, A Remembrance. Then, we moved to the nonfiction text, Lighthouses, Beacons of the Past. We are practicing the K-W-L (what I know, want to know, and what I learned) strategy as we read this book.
Guided Reading and Centers-"Things We Fear" centers and reading continued this week and were described in the last newsletter.
Word Study-Sort 10 showed us the patterns of words ending in -ce, -se, or -ve. Verbs
were introduced and each day we learned about a type of verb. Several power points were shown on linking verbs and helping verbs because they are a bit more difficult. Hearing linking verb songs should help us remember which type is which.
Writing-We're learning the steps to writing an essay. Today we thought about three things for which we're thankful. Next week, we'll write the three paragraph essay. The other days were filled with the completion of assigned writing projects.
Fractions, Part of a Whole
Most of us did quite well on our area assessment this week. Then, we moved on to the study of fractions. On Wednesday our fraction standards began with a fair share brownine lesson. From paper brownies to delicious brownies, we tried to cut equal parts of a whole in our study of unit fractions.
A fantastic hands on lesson involved groups showing multiple ways to show the representation of unit fractions. Check out some photos of the museum tour of the different groups.
The Wise Owls had a great time and learned a lot on Thursday while roaming around our Wildlife Habitat. Each student selected his or her own tree, then tried to identify the type of tree by studying its leaves, bark and any seeds present. We will revisit our trees as the seasons change and study the differences that each season brings. this activity was the start of learning a new science standard, plants and animals of the regions of Georgia. Here are some pictures of this very fun activity!
Social Studies
In Mrs. Huie's class, the students learned about the two major mountain ranges and the five major rivers. Ask your child if they really "ate up" the lesson on Friday.

What a fun week of learning for the Wise Guys!
Language Arts:
Reading- Shared Reading-"Things We Fear" is the theme for informational reading. Scary topics haven't seemed so frightening after reading all of the nonfiction selections this week. We are practicing the strategy of close reading, and we read several articles about scary topics such as "A Child in Hiding" (An Interview of a Jewish child's grandfather explaining hiding in France during World War II), "Spooky Spiders", and "Hey, a Brown Recluse Spider Bit Me". Close reading helps us understand the purpose of the text, what the author is saying, the text structure, and what the author is doing with the words. In other words, it helps us learn to expand our thinking while reading.
A new rotation of Literacy Centers, "Things We Fear", has started and will continue next week.
Listening-Venomous Snakes-Students read along to build fluency and created a poster warning people of the venomous snakes of Georgia.
Skill-The children could choose from an assortment of different language arts activities from guide words and plural nouns to homonyms.
Response-Partners are reading Halloween plays or Pumpkin Prize and Too Many Pumpkins. After reading these two books, a compare and contrast activity followed.
Guided Reading- Things We Fear was used to teach main idea and details. Other groups are reading Shark Attack and learning how to code questions we have as we read.
Word Study-Word Sort 9 was the study of three letter blends. Not only did the students practice with these blends, they learned how to find synonyms and antonyms from an online thesaurus site and practiced the Frayer Model of learning vocabulary of difficult words such as shrewd, , and strewn.
The topic of verbs and all of the types of verbs were explored. We learned about action, helping, and linking verbs, and how to identify them. We made a verb collage in teams, searching in magazines for examples of the types.
We worked on learning to recognize area as an attribute of plane figures, and to understand the concepts of area measurement. We found out that a square with a side length of 1 unit is called "a unit square," and has "one square unit" of area, and can be used to measure area. A plane figure which can be covered without gaps or overlaps by a certain number of unit squares is said to have an area of those square units. We related area to the operations of multiplication, and found the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Using geoboards was a fun way to practice finding the area of rectangles. All through the week an assortment of Halloween math activities were used in small groups to review some of the standards we've covered this year.
In the Science/STEM lab, we learned how important worms are in creating rich soil. The students enjoyed performing a couple of investigations with the worms, and then started our very own classroom compost container. We will watch to see how scraps decompose to make humus in soil, and how the worms help the process.
In our classroom, we studied how rocks break down into soil by weathering and erosion. A sugar cube investigation proved that water causes the most weathering and erosion. Connecting writing to science, we created a soil horizon with living things placed in the correct layer of soil. Then, we wrote as that creature to explain what type of soil is best and in which layer we inhabit.
Social Studies
Paul Revere Visits the Third Grade!
An assembly, just for our grade, was such a fantastic way to kick off our study of famous Americans, which is a part of our social studies standards. An actor portrayed Paul Revere, explaining his importance in the revolution. It was fun to see the students involved in the presentation.
Thanks to Our Volunteers of the Week!
Julie Lahti was our Clerical Helper and Melinda Bailey was the Mystery Reader.
Come to the Robot Rally-free admission.-Nov. 15th 11:00-3:30

Language Arts
Shared Reading-Who doesn't enjoy reading about animals? Using Wild Animal Babies, we worked on the reading skills of predicting, using text format to help in our comprehension, finding the main idea and details, and recognizing the author's purpose for writing.
Literacy Centers
Guided Reading-Using Tigers or Koalas, or Otters, we focused on the reading skill of determining important information. Students looked for the main idea and details to share with the other members of their reading group. We used the jigsaw strategy in which each person becomes an expert on one part of a book, and then shares their knowledge with the rest of the group.
Listening Center- Reading animal articles in World magazines, the Wise Guys then created a concept map to share what was learned.
Response Center- Chose an animal in the Nature's Children book series, used the table of contents to find four topics of interest, researched the answers to four questions about their chosen animal, and made a flip flap book.
Skill Center-We worked at a prefix/suffix workshop using wheels with base words, and then adding correct prefixes and suffixes to them. A practice exercise followed this activity.
Word Study-In Word Sort 9, the students study three letter blends at the beginning of words. We just started this pattern, and will assess it on next Friday.
Writing-With such short days this week, we didn't get to finish our owl informational writing, but we're progressing.
During large group lessons we used the doubling strategy to learn to multiply by 6s
and 8s, and learned how to solve for missing factors. Strategies for division were reviewed and the students studied patterns on a multiplication chart. The math tubs for Guided Math have been changed to give everyone practice in multiplication and division problem solving. We're working on the harder facts by playing games, answering questions about different kinds of graphs, solving algebra puzzles, and using the computer and Interwrite board to practice too.
What's the best soil for growing plants? That's what we're exploring by looking at the attributes of clay, loam, and sand. We're noting the colors, capacity to hold water, and the size of the particles as we compare the three types.
Thank Yous
Ellie Griffis was the clerical mom again, and Alicia Poage was our Mystery Reader. Thank you for attending your child's conference. It was great to share your child's progress.
It's really cool to walk to school!

Yes, even with shortened days due to testing, the Wise Guys had tons of learning going on.
Reading- Shared Reading-Fossil Hunters started off this week's reading activities.
Literacy Centers-"Let's Learn About Fossils"-A fabulous assortment of resources were used during the reading segment. Each day we used either the laptops or the computers in the lab as we read. A scavenger hunt through Paleontology, a book on TrueFlix, had the students using the text features and reading to find important information. Then, Dinosaur Bones and Dinosaur Dig were listened to on BookFlix. Both sites have videos and other articles that enhance the books.
Word Study-Homophones can be very tricky for third graders, so this week's word sort was a great way
to learn the correct spellings. We will test this Sort 8 list on Tues. of next week.
Writing-We have our sources printed on different types of owls and have started the note taking process for our informational writing.
Your child became a surgeon, Dr. Distributive, this week. They learned to perform surgery on difficult multiplication problems by "breaking apart" arrays. This was all a part of our lesson to understand the distributive property of multiplication. We started with manipulatives to model the breaking apart arrays, and then each child created an art project showing the surgery of another multiplication fact. We then moved on to learn about the associative property and how to multiply three factors.
Yes, we're playing in the dirt! We started our soil study.
We loved discovering what was in soil! Some groups had surprises like old cocoons and ants, along with roots, rocks, sand, clay, moisture, and minerals. We then observed different types of soils to chart their properties.

Thank You!
Ellie Griffis was kind to take care of our clerical work and Amanda Secrest was our Mystery Reader! Thanks to all of you for the support you gave your child during testing. They all worked so diligently and stuck with it daily!

Can anyone advise about how someone can go on vacation and stop progress in the tournament? One of the opponents in my group has gone on vacation. Time remaining still says 3 days even though the last move in the game by them was ages ago. I am in a winning position and once I win I will have the second highest points and the 1st round for my group will be complete.
I do not understand why this situation is allowed to occur. Shouldn't going on vacation automatically mean they withdraw from the tournament. This is my first time in a tournament so I do not know the etiquette. Surely one person can't just hold everyone else up??!!
> how someone can go on vacation and stop progress in the tournament?
His vacation isn't holding up the whole tournament, because many games are not even half-way done yet. For example, look at group #38.
Imagine a tournament in real life where one day black side of the board is empty. Kramnik asks the judge: "Where is Topalov?" The judge replies: "He went to somewhere sunny and warm with a late plane last night."
Sometimes i don t feel for playing chess for somedays,i go on vacations because of time limit.but i still log on to chess.com to be updated on the chess news.any harm on that?people are making a big deal out of this.
