In 'Sisters,' Raina Telgemeier captures small details of family life
Raina Telgemeier's Sisters is about a car trip in the same way that her earlier graphic memoir Smile is about having dental work: It forms an organizing principle for a story about changing relationships, a story built up of small incidents that are all linked to this single narrative thread.
That sounds complicated for a book written for 10-year-olds, but Telgemeier makes it look easy. It's as if she's swapping stories about her childhood — remember that time we got a snake, and then we lost it? And although she's writing about growing up in San Francisco in the 1980s and early 1990s, the story has a timeless feel (the only clues to the setting are teenage Raina's Walkman and the fact that no one has a cell phone).
Anxiously ever after: Emily Carroll's 'Through the Woods'
A few of the short, scary stories in Emily Carroll's Through the Woods evoke elements of classic fairy tales. Some are quite direct, like the young woman in the conclusion who dons a red hood and cape to walk through the wilderness, avoiding a wolf. Others are more indirect, like the possibly murderous, Bluebeard-like husband in "A Lady's Hands Are Cold," or simply in the patterns of repeating events, like what happens to the three sisters in "Our Neighbor's House" or to the pairs of characters in "His Face All Red" and "My Friend Janna."
However, there are two sharp and immediate differences between Carroll's stories and the fairy tales they sometimes evoke.
First, Carroll's stories are told in comics form, although more artfully constructed than what you might expect to find on the new racks each Wednesday (her book comes courtesy of a Simon and Schuster imprint, rather than a traditional comics publisher).
Second, they're terrifying, some of them more H.P. Lovecraft or August Derleth than August Derleth or Wilhem and Jacob Grimm at their, well, grimmest. For example, the Little Red Riding Hood allusion in the conclusion, part of the set of stories that bookend the five gothic (in the traditional, literary sense) short stories that form the bulk of Carroll's collection, ends with the wolf, if that's really what it is, appearing in the dark outside the girl's window.
So freaking good: Haspiel and Waid's 'The Fox: Freak Magnet'
If you asked me for a list of some of the best superhero comics of the past year or so, I'd be sure to mention one that comes not from DC Comics or Marvel, two companies synonymous with the genre, but from Archie Comics, a publisher popularly known for not making superhero comics.
That comic would be the one starring The Fox, a Golden Age superhero from MLJ Comics (which would eventually become Archie Comics) that was recently resurrected in a well-made, well-received miniseries, now available in the collection The Fox: Freak Magnet.
Archie's approach to the book seems to have been somewhat Marvel-ous, in several respects.
First, the publisher appears to have allowed a talented creator, Dean Haspiel, to do pretty much whatever he liked with the relatively minor character, and he chose to stick with what came before, but to take it in his own, idiosyncratic direction, not unlike Marvel's post-Hawkeye strategy for its secondary, non-franchise books.
In a galaxy far, far away, Jeffrey Brown continues his 'Star Wars' saga
Among the bigger announcements to come out of Comic-Con International was that Marvel will resume publishing Star Wars comics after a nearly 30 years, 23 years of which the license called Dark Horse home. We've known it was happening for a while, of course, but this was the official unveiling of titles and creative teams.
Completely unaffected by all of this is one particular pocket of Star Wars comics, those made by cartoonist Jeffrey Brown, who's found a great deal of success in marrying his particular wit and style with the pop-culture icons of the franchise. That's good news for comics and/or Star Wars fans who prefer their take on that universe to be ironic and funny, and, of course, for little kids.
This month, the latest installments of Brown's two ongoing Star Wars-related projects dropped, one from Chronicle Books, the other from Scholastic.
Brown's professional, published relationship with Star Wars began with 2012's Darth Vader and Son, a series of full-color cartoons based on the premise that Luke knew who his real father was at a very young age, and Vader was attempting to raise his innately heroic child as a single parent while balancing his home life with a rather demanding day job: that of a Sith Lord helping the Emperor rule the galaxy with an iron fist. That was quickly followed by Vader's Little Princess, a collection of cartoons with the same premise, only substituting Leia for Luke.
'Weapon Brown,' the ol' blockhead on steroids
Mash-ups are pretty easy to come by in the Internet Age. Flash as a Ingmar Bergman movie? Of course that exists. Hello Kitty as Darth Vader? Hello, new cosplay idea. Optimus Prime as a My Little Pony? I'm … I'm pretty sure that's an official IDW thing. Everything's a mash-up these days. In fact, you might be a bit sick of it. If I mention, for example, the phrase "Charlie Brown in a post-apocalyptic future," you cannot be blamed for rolling your eyes so hard that your pupils disappear into your hear, resembling the blank ovals of Li'l Orphan Annie.
But what if I were to tell you it was also rather good? Jason Yungbluth's Weapon Brown was something of a hit among the snarkier fans of comics strips, i.e. those of the Comics Curmudgeon variety. You know, the kind who enjoy taking a bite out of obsolete zombie comics that populate the funny pages, but deep down have a strong affection for them and an appreciation for the hard-working creators who made them. The comic was originally serialized at whatisdeepfried.com. After "one of the most successful comic book Kickstarter campaigns of 2013," Weapon Brown was collected into paperback and hardcover earlier this year. On Aug. 13, Yungbluth will be on hand at Forbidden Planet in New York City to sign copies of his book.
Is Wally Wood's 'Witzend' a lost treasure or a noble failure?
It seems like the stuff of legend: Wally Wood – the Wally Wood, of EC and MAD fame, fed up with being creatively and financially stifled by the oppressive corporate comics business model, discovers the then-nascent world of fanzines, and inspiration strikes. "Maybe I could create one of these fanzines for me and my friends," Wood thinks. "We could publish any sort of work we wanted, with no editorial restrictions or code to worry about! Best of all, we'd own it!"
Bear in mind, this was 1966, a good two years or so before the first issue of Zap Comix set the still-budding world of underground comics on fire. The mere notion of comics as any sort of medium for self-expression at the time must have been something that drew wide-eyed stares. But while Wood was certainly no hippie, there's little doubt he saw this as an opportunity to produce work that he and his friends really cared about.
And what a list of friends. Throughout its run, Witzend collected an impressive roster that included creators like Jim Steranko, Gray Morrow, Al Williamson, Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall, Art Spiegelman (some of his first published work), Don Martin (yes, that Don Martin), Alex Toth, P. Craig Russell, Mike Zeck and Joe Staton.
Secret identity issues: Yang and Liew's 'The Shadow Hero'
In The Shadow Hero, cartoonist Gene Luen Yang collaborates with artist Sonny Liew to tell the story of Hank Chu, the teenage son of Chinese immigrants who run a small store in Depression-era Chinatown. As with much of Yang's best-known work, this new original graphic novel deals with themes of cultural, national and racial identity, and the tensions and conflicts that arise when identities and outlooks collide.
Here, Hank finds himself pressured by his mother to become a wholly American invention, a sort of ultimate assimilation success story. She doesn't want him to grow up to be a doctor or lawyer or politician, but a superhero, a thought put in her head when she's rescued from a robber by the Superman stand-in The Anchor of Justice.
Their book is an excellent one, a perfect example of a modern superhero comic, masterfully and perfectly balancing comedy, crime, action, drama, melodrama, romance and fantasy into an epic story of a young man coming of age and finding himself.
As good as Yang and Liew's story is, however, the story of their story may be just as fascinating, in large part because it's true, and gives the comic they crafted a remarkable level of relevance. That story is told after the conclusion of The Shadow Hero, in the generous back-matter of the First Second book, presented in standard superhero-comic size, rather than the smaller, more square shape of most of the publisher's offerings.
Celebrating '75 Years' of Batman and The Joker
Batman is celebrating his 75th birthday this year, which may come as a surprise. I mean, look at that smooth, handsome face, or what little of it is visible beneath his cowl. Look at those ripped muscles, or the way he runs across rooftops and beats up criminals — why, Batman doesn't look a day over 35!
Now just as it did recently for Superman, DC Comics is releasing a pair of hefty, 400-page hardcover collections that serve as a sort of survey for how the character has been portrayed and functioned in the publisher's comics line during since his first appearance. Batman: A Celebration of 75 Years and The Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years aren't exactly the comics equivalents of greatest-hits albums, but they are nice starting points for newcomers and/or casual fans, offering quick, compelling overviews of the title characters through the decades.
The Batman volume, featuring Jim Lee's rendition of the character from the 2003 storyline "Hush" on the dust jacket, must have been particularly challenging to assemble, given the thousands and thousands of pages of Batman comics, featuring dozens of different takes by scores of creators.
Suspense, and the lack thereof, in three new DC titles
I've found the new Justice League United to be a rather surreal reading experience, until this point, for all sorts of reasons: It's hard to believe DC launched this series to replace the much-ballyhooed — 52 variant covers! — Geoff Johns/David Finch Justice League of America after a mere 14 issues; it's weird to see DC quietly reversing its "holding the line at $2.99″ policy with a Marvel-ous price point of 22 pages for $3.99; it launched with a zero issue that was actually a must-read first issue so that the story chapters and the issue numbers are now forever out of sequence; it featured Hawkman having an arm lopped up only to grow it back the next issue because Nth Metal; it featured an attempt to give the old grim-and-gritty treatment to Ultra the Multi-Alien; and so on.
However, the single most surreal aspect of the book may be one that's suffused so much of the New 52, but is particularly present in the team books that rely on shared history (despite the fact that there isn't really any shared history). In Justice League United, writer Jeff Lemire and penciler Mike McKone have assembled a rag-tag group of superheroes — Animal Man, Green Arrow, Star Girl, Hawkman and Supergirl — led by Martian Manhunter, whose place in the new DCU and relationships with the other Justice Leaguers is still ambiguous.
A Month of Wednesdays | X-Men, Batman and dog butts
Amazing X-Men, Vol. 1: The Quest For Nightcrawler (Marvel): Writer Jason Aaron transitions quite seamlessly from his 42-issue (or eight-trade paperback) run on Wolverine & The X-Men to this new series, which maintained the same setting and much of the same cast, only a switch of focus. Rather than the student body of the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning, the stars of this series are the superhero teaching staff, with a few additions not seen in Wolverine & The X-Men (Firestar coming in to replace Kitty Pryde, who was spirited away from the cast by Brian Michael Bendis to appear in his X-Men books, plus Northstar and the guy whose name is in the subtitle and is front and center on the cover).
Aaron's main partner for this first volume is penciler Ed McGuinness (inked by Dexter Vines and colored by Marte Gracia), an artist whose big, muscular, cartoony style fits perfectly with the slightly zany tone of the story, and Aaron's X-Men comics in general. Cameron Stewart draws the sixth issue in this collection, a sort of epilogue in which most of the other characters you would want to see reunite with Nightcrawler do so.
Crisis on Cartoon Network: 'Super Secret Crisis War' #1
This week Marvel released a couple of tie-ins to its big Original Sin event, and DC Comics issued new printings of chapters from its Superman crossover "Doomed." But the weirdest, most unexpected and, oddly enough, most traditionally formatted crossover going right now comes not from the Big Two publishers that invented and perfected the approach, but from IDW, whose Super Secret Crisis War #1 features the heroes and villains from a half-dozen old Cartoon Network series sharing story space.
IDW has done crossover stories before (Infestation, Infestation 2, Mars Attacks IDW), but in the past these have been rather indirect, with the same menaces (zombies, Lovecraftian monsters, the Mars Attacks martians) invading the different realities of its various licensed properties (G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Transformers, etc.). Here the participants all appear in the same book, and even rub elbows in the same panels.
What ties them together is that they all once had shows on Cartoon Network and, um, well, that's about it really, but it's enough to get them all in the same six-issue miniseries issues (plus five one-shot tie-ins that will bring yet more Cartoon Network stars into the fold).
This allows the series to capitalize on the pleasures of two different sorts of crossovers: There's the shared-universe crossover, as when all the DC or Marvel heroes team up (even if these characters don't technically share the same universe), and the inter-company crossover, when characters from various properties that were never meant to meet up do so (Think Batman/Judge Dredd, Archie Meets The Punisher).
If you only read two comics this week, make them these two
As the average price of serially published, traditional-format comics has risen sharply over the past few years, I've gradually turned into a trade-waiter, my pull list shrinking to such a meager size that many Wednesdays I'll skip what was once a religiously observed weekly pilgrimage. It's not worth a trip to the shop for one or two books, after all, so I'll sometimes wait three weeks or so, allowing for a sizable stack to build up.
This was one such week, and I left the shop with a pretty good haul, about $45 worth of 14 comics, including a mess of DC weeklies, a pair of Marvel comics, a trio of high-quality kids titles, the latest issue of a locally produced horror series, a Batman/Green Hornet crossover and an issue of one of IDW's many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics.
My pull list is now so small and carefully cut that I rarely encounter a book I don't like any aspect of (generally, when I do buy a comic I have negative feelings about, they're generated as much by disappointment as anything else). The flip-side is that because I take relatively few chances as a consumer (as opposed to a critic; as a critic, I read pretty much anything with panels on paper that I find in front of me), I'm rarely pleasantly surprised by what I bring home.
This week, I read one comic that was so good that I was genuinely taken aback by its awesomeness; I was surprised and super-excited. I wanted to stand up and shout "Yeah!" but I was in a coffee shop at the time. I wanted to high-five the artist, but he wasn't within arm's reach. I wanted to scrap what I was planning to write about in this space today and champion the book instead. I wanted to take the opportunity to say, "Hey everyone! Stop what you're doing and read this comic right now!"
'Benson's Cuckoos': Your average funny-animal office comedy/thriller
You would be forgiven if you thought of French author, artist and animator Anouk Ricard primarily as someone who makes comics for kids. Before the North American release this month of Benson's Cuckoos, from Drawn and Quarterly, her only other books to make it into English on this side of the Atlantic were a pair of collections of her charming children's strip, Anna & Froga (2013's I Don't Know, What Do You Want to Do? and this year's Thrills, Spills and Gooseberries).
And while Benson's Cuckoos does look at first glance (and even after a fairly thorough flip-through) like a kids comic, given the adorable, big-headed, Richard Scarry-esque characters, it's decidedly adult in nature. That the characters are all cute little anthropomorphic animals accentuates the humor of the many awkward moments of their social interactions, and diffuses the darker aspects of the story, keeping them from being read as anything other than comedy.
Originally released in 2011 as Coucous Bouzon (and earning a Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Angouleme International Comics Festival), the book seems to owe a significant debt to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's The Office, and/or its U.S. adaptation. If, in fact, Ricard has never seen the show, which is certainly quite possible, then the boss at the office in which her book is set is quite coincidentally remarkably like Gervais' David Brent and Steve Carell's Michael Scott.
Benson, a particularly fluffy white poodle who owns and operates the cuckoo clock company from which the book takes its title, shares with The Office bosses an inherent belief in his own hipness, completely convinced that, unlike other bosses, he's cool and sympathetic. He tells a lot of jokes, feels closer to his employees than they feel to him, wears funny hats, tries new and creative and dumb ideas, and generally makes everyone uncomfortable.
A Month of Wednesdays | Two from D+Q, two from NBM
Everywhere Antennas (Drawn and Quarterly): Julie Delporte's challenging, emotionally wrenching book comes in the form of a sketch-filled diary, the words all written in cursive with various colored pencils. It reads a bit like a therapy journal made by someone attempting to crawl out of a breakdown, sometimes sliding back as far as she gets out, an impression furthered by the art, which, like the handwritten text, looks so intimate, "corrections" made by redrawing portions on new pieces of paper, which are then taped atop the pages before printing.
There's such a lack of artifice to the book — unless there's a high degree of artifice applied to make it seem as if there's a great lack of artifice — that it really seems like something you're not supposed to be reading, something you might have found in someone's apartment, rather than bought in a bookstore. Delporte does tell a story, but it's fragmentary, with characters who appear and disappear and scenes that don't necessarily lead to the next.
It would be tempting to think it was a straight diary comic created during a time of mental crisis — the line "coloured pencils … are her favourite antidepressants" in Delporte's back-page biography indicates that many aspects of the deeply felt contents aren't completely alien to her — were it not for the specific ailment of our unnamed, perhaps Delporte-like heroine. She suffers from a rare sensitivity to radio waves and electrical auras, so cell phones, televisions, computers, cell phone towers and power lines give her migraines, and she must find a way to divorce herself from the modern world while still trying to live some semblance of a life in it.
Wrestling with greatness: Box Brown's 'Andre the Giant'
Born a poor, put-upon peasant ridiculed by those around him, he would grow up to become one of the most recognizable figures in his profession, his worldwide fame leaving an indelible mark upon the chilhoods of more than one generation. But his greatest strength, that which made him such a powerful presence on the world stage, was also his greatest weakness; that which so defined his life would ultimately kill him.
You can't make this sort of thing up, and in telling the life story of Andre Roussimoff, better known as Andre the Giant, cartoonist Box Brown doesn't have to make anything up — although he may have to massage some anecdotes to better fit the format of a story, or imagine visual details where none were provided. In other words, Brown has to "put over" his narrative, to borrow some of the wrestling jargon that appears throughout his story (and is helpfully contained in a glossary).
Brown's bio-comic Andre the Giant: Life and Legend opens with an illustrated version of a 2010 interview with Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea, a man who worked with Andre for years in professional wrestling, and became one of its most popular faces during a storyline in which Andre graciously decided to play the heel, the villain to Bollea's hero.
"There was never a fork or a knife …. even a bed!" the cartoon Bollea says. "There was never a situation where he could be comfortable."

Lofty principles no doubt but of more interest to us was the fact that San Marino sits on very steep Mount Titano - 749 meters (yup, meters not feet) up from where we are staying.

September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month and this year marks 50 years since the beginning of this life-changing public health program. Wilson and Jungner developed what is considered to be the gold standard for selection of conditions suitable for screening, which includes the ability to detect the condition at an early stage and the availability of an effective treatment. However, the ethical principles that have guided newborn screening for the past 50 years have been increasingly challenged as new technologies have emerged to screen for more conditions. read more >

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (The GOASTT), fronted by Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, will open for the BECK at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) tonight, July 26 at 8P.
With an infectious sense of adventure akin to Beck and Flaming Lips, and several years of touring and recording under their belt, The GOASTT has been recognized for their creative and savvy approach to psychedelia. They released their third album Midnight Sun, described as a "guided tour of bold, shape-shifting sonic murals and evocative lyrical panoramas," in April. NME said Midnight Sun "positively slays" and Pop Matters called it an "astonishing listen."
The GOASTT has toured with The Flaming Lips and Tame Impala, performed at the Hollywood Bowl with Jean-Claude Vannier and released a Record Store Day vinyl EP entitled La Carotte Bleue. Muhl released an EP with her teenage folk duo Kemp & Eden, who also performed in the film Greetings From Tim Buckley. Lennon, meanwhile, released a record by his experimental duo Mystical Weapons with Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, a film score to the indie comedy Alter Egos, and produced the new album by Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band.
Tickets are $75 - $45 and are on sale now at the PPAC Box Office (220 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence), online at www.ppacri.org, and by phone at (401) 421-ARTS (2787). All ticket prices include a $3 per ticket restoration charge and are subject to change without notice. Summer Box Office Hours are Monday through Thursday, 10A - 3P; the Box Office opens two hours prior to curtain time on performance days.

"Strange Magic" -- a new animated film from Lucasfilm and George Lucas will be released by Touchstone Pictures on January 23.
In an interview with Charlie Rose, George Lucas opens up about the real meaning behind "Star Wars," and how mythology, religion, and storytelling helped shape his vision of the films.
The audio-and-visual tech firm founded by Lucas claims Apple is infringing on a speaker patent in its iPhone, iPad, and iMac products.

Playa del Carmen Villa Rental Photos and Description
3 BR, Loft, 3.5 BA, Sleeps 8. - Private Tennis Court / Golf course view
Call me for FREE NOW - 1/800 519-2486
Casa AVES is in a perfectly convenient location at the northern end of the private gated community of Playacar (phase 2), immediately adjacent to Playa del Carmen. Set in the heart of Villas del Mayab, the only group of villas in Playacar built with ample spacing between houses amidst a large shared garden area, Casa Tortuga is just steps away from the large shared pool and palapa. Backing onto the 12th hole of the championship Playacar golf course designed by Robert van Hagge, Villas del Mayab is also the closest group of villas within walking distance (less than 5 min) to the vibrant 5th Ave, the heart beat of Playa del Carmen, and only 250 metres from the nearest beach.
A 3-5 min stroll along a direct stone path (accessed from the end of the driveway), surrounded by tropical greenery will take you to the nearest public beach with amenities - Fishermen's Beach, which is Playa's quietest beach. The main shopping area, ferry to Cozumel and loads of fantastic restaurants are 5-10 minutes walk north. In the opposite direction, a 10-15 minute walk takes you to the Reef Club, where Casa Tortuga guests can use the facilities of the resort (beach chairs, pool and towel service), or for a daily fee, can enjoy the all inclusive privileges. Opposite the Reef Club is the entrance to the golf course.
Casa AVES is located next to the tennis court in the front and a few steps from the hotel sized pool through a shared garden area in the back. The tropical Aviary is a few houses away. The ample sized palapa next to the pool provides an alternative perfect venue to host friendly gatherings, weddings, or just hang out in the shade with your morning java or evening cocktails! Combined with other privately owned/managed villas within Villas del Mayab, larger groups can be accommodated so you and your extended family or friends can be in the same vicinity....please contact us for further information.
On the main level is a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, dining room, open living room with domed ceiling, half bath, spacious bedroom with two twin beds and ensuite full bath. This bedroom has access to one of the outdoor patios. There are two large bedrooms upstairs complete with king size beds and ensuite full bathrooms and wall safes. The master bedroom includes a private balcony. There is a queen size futon in the open loft area separating the two upstairs bedrooms. Although not as private, it can accommodate 1-2 people. All beds have european style light-weight feather duvets and comfortable memory foam toppers....we believe your beds on vacation should be comfy!
The villa has been extensively remodelled recently to include new tile flooring throughout, new bathrooms and kitchen with granite counters and custom handmade mahogany cabinetry, along with new appliances. The upstairs ensuite(s) include new tile, fixtures, granite and walk in showers. The main floor ensuite has a bathtub /shower combination.
Maid service every second day, fresh bottled water and an American property manager will ensure a smooth vacation. You will be met by one of our Property Manager's staff on or shortly after your arrival at the Villa. They will help orient you and get you up to speed with the basic information required to kick start your holiday. As well, there is a binder in the villa full of local information and tips of places to go and things to do.
Well equipped grocery stores are readily accessible to meet any food and drink requirements. Private transportation from the Cancun Airport can be arranged on request for an additional fee, as well as any other special requests you might have, such as crib availability, or groceries upon arrival.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- suitable for elderly or infirm
- wheelchair accessible

If the one on the left is indeed a BSF school.......then i quite like it. Nice clean design, looks solid striaght out of Porridge.

This he had to submit on the next working day (measured in Botswana time).
The request was duly processed by a team of engineers over the next 36 hours... oooppps, sorry, days. Each engineer being on a salary of 3 times that of the caretaker.
Eventually he got permission to flick the trip switch back on, only to find that there had been a general election in the meantime and his new school would be moving back into it's old premises so the new one could become a prison.
tech_guy (17th November 2008)
Just to keep the fun going, here's another prison-related thought (and related blog post)
According to the Council of Europe, in order to avoid torture or degrading treatment, prisoners must be given 8.5 square metres of cell space per prisoner
According to BB98 (the building guidance for schools, which many BSF suppliers are working to), schools should provide 4 square metres of teaching space per pupil.
(This 4m2 per pupil increases to 6m2 if you include other space, such as school hall, sporting buildings and the staff room)
Neither of these are mandatory - it appears that according to the Council of Europe, we don't build cells big enough.
And the DCSF have been keen to point out to BSF builders that BB98 is only guidance - they can build however they want, and allocate as much space as they can afford to pupils.
However, I'm not sure if the message re BB98 has reached builders widely - anybody know?
Isn't the net for the prison, to stop criminals throwing things during lock-downs/riots?
In a planning meeting with the architects I once suggested that the most effective way of designing a school would be to built a 'shed' (DIY superstore type building) where internal walls & services could be re-deployed as the curriculum needs changed. The architects response was "it wouldn't look pretty & we wouldn't get any awards....."
I heard of one school where part of a building linking two classroom blocks is being demolished and replaced with an open covered walkway as this saves 'footprint' to be used elsewhere in the rebuild.....
Last edited by broc; 17th November 2008 at 12:16 PM.
They have obviously taken a nto from the Simpson. No-one ever seen the episode where the shcool is used to house convicts? Use the same design for both prison and school and they become "multi-purpose workspaces". & then if the school fails with minimum building work the site can be converted
All seems sensible to me.
Natural light is fine... in theory, it depends upon how it is delivered...
We have a so-called 21st century classroom, built 5 years ago. It has so much natural light that you cannot use an Interactive whiteboard or projector. The building is aligned east/west, so at certain times of the year when the sun is low you are blinded. It has a 'natural' ventilation system, and electric underfloor heating. It takes the heating 2 days to get the building comfortable .... shame the weather is not so predictable & of course its tough in winter when the heating is turned off over the weekend and does not get turned back on until Monday am. As for cooling during the summer, forget it, the pathetic roof venting system means everyone bakes.... you have to open the fire doors otherwise the kids faint...
We have other parts of the school (15-20 years old) with lots of natural light too. On a sunny day you cannot see their IWBs either.
Of course, we can expect the BSF architects to have learned from previous mistakes can't we?

Beatles Secretary Subject of New Film
The new film will show the life and times of the Beatles secretary from their early days right up to their breakup in the 1970's. So, why now?

After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 18, Dave Grohl's 'Sound City' documentary will be released to theaters in cities across the country. The one-night-only event will take place in over 40 cities on Jan. 31, with additional one-night showings on Feb. 1, Feb. 7, Feb. 15, Feb. 20 and Feb. 22.
Join us at Parkwood Cinemas or listen to Sloan and Jenna this week for your chance to get on our VIP List for our World Premiere of Broken City, starring Mark Wahlberg and Russel Crowe .
If you watched this year's Golden Globe awards, you were treated to a new trailer for Sam Raimi's eagerly anticipated 'Oz: The Great and Powerful." If you didn't watch the Golden Globes and want a glimpse James Franco's adventures in the land of Oz, don't fret -- you can watch the footage embedded below!
Not content to read the scripted banter, the two came up with their own bit that left everyone cracking up... except Tommy Lee Jones, that is.
The 2013 Golden Globes award ceremony honored Jodie Foster with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by 'Iron Man' star Robert Downey Jr., and what ensued was probably the strangest/longest "non-coming-out" speech of all-time.
It was a good night for Ben Affleck - just a few short minutes after winning Best Director at the 2013 Golden Globes, his film 'Argo' won Best Picture.
Here's a headline we probably could've written this past summer: Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for 'Lincoln' at the 2013 Golden Globes. Can this man be stopped?
Up until this point 'Zero Dark Thirty' was mostly shut out at the 2013 Golden Globes but then Jessica Chastain won Best Actress for her performance in that film.
'Les Miserables' might have set itself up as one of the frontrunners for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars after winning Best Picture, Musical or Comedy at the 2013 Golden Globes.
Ben Affleck was a surprise winner for Best Director at the 2013 Golden Globes for his work on 'Argo' but sadly it's a win that won't be repeated at the Oscars.
'Brave' wasn't one of the most well-received Pixar films over the past few years, but it was enough to win Best Animated Feature at the 2013 Golden Globes.

Oprah Winfrey will come in between two old rivals, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. The two heavyweight boxing champions are the guests of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Friday, October 16, Harpo Studio announced on a press release. The episode will be broadcast live from the Chicago studio.
Tyson infamously bit off a part of Holyfield's ear in a 1997 rematch. Tyson was disqualified from the World Boxing Association title and has not met Holyfield face-to-face since. The appearance on "Oprah" which is dubbed "Mike Tyson Returns" would be the first for the two to speak to each other after the incident.
Beside facing Holyfield, Tyson will also be on the stage to answer questions from the studio audience. According to the press release, he will "speak about the overwhelming reaction he's had from his first interview". On Monday, October 12, "Oprah" aired an interview with Tyson who cried upon talking about the death of his 4-year-old daughter.

"Another from the mother in law. I don't leave tails intact, personal preference. Preparation time includes peeling prawns. Spring onions also known as scallions or green onions. UPDATE - thank you to Karen Elizabeth would never have thought to use this as way to cook the prawns to ADD to other dishes such as she did with a vegetable stir fry - great idea, thank you. A PLEASE NOTE - I now have a 900W microwave and I find 3 1/2 to 4 minutes does it, When this recipe was first presented wattages in ovens where very low so the higher wattages today will determine the cooking times."
Serving Size: 1 (155 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"My DH looked so puzzled and screwed up his nose, when he was told the prawns were to be cooked in the microwave.
His comment after eating this was "Well the hardest part was shelling the Prawns!!!"
He and DD loved this, DD wanted more sauce, but that was my fault because I tipped some off as DD dislikes Sherry so much, I was thinking it would taste too much of Sherry and she would not notice if I gave less sauce.
WELL..........I was abruptly told by her to "Leave it alone next time!" Sheesh she loved the sauce.........Go figure!!!!
I also used a combination of oil and butter, and next time (Yes, there wil be a next time) I will cook for less time, (my fault again, I did not take note of Pat's A PLEASE NOTE, IN THE Introduction.
So quick and so easy, and this was thoroughly enjoyed by DD and DH, they both loved it, and DH is still suprised it was done in the microwave!
Thanks Pat, wonderful recipe!"
"Divine sauce-the sherry is wonderful in this! This is so easy that DH made. Took the advice of another reviewer and used butter/ olive oil combination. The only thing we would do differently is the timing which turned out to be too long b/c one pound of not peeled shrimp is not the same as 500 grams of peeled shrimp and microwaves vary so the next time will try 4 minutes instead of 5. Thank you Pat for another wonderful recipe."
"Wow! If you want something delicious, easy & quick, this is the recipe for you. I cooked exactly as the recipe stated but halved the prawns...took another reviewer's advice & used the olive oil & but ter. Made some garlic bread to mop up the sauce.. I haven't heard husband rave about his dinner in quite a while..."
"The combination of ease and taste easily makes this five stars. A squeeze of lemon enhances the dish further."
"So very easy, Pat! Made as directed, lacking sherry (must get to the shops), I used dry white wine, but no changes otherwise. I've actually made them a couple of times now, taken me a while to review! Posting a picture where I've made them to your recipe and then popped them in with a vegetable stirfry, so that the non-prawn eaters didn't have to worry! thanks for a super-easy recipe!"
"Hello Recipe Swap #15 buddy! This was absolutely fabulous! I made this dish for a light lunch, served over angel hair pasta with crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce. I made a few modifications: I used olive oil instead of peanut oil and dry white wine instead of dry sherry (as my pantry was lacking those two ingredients). I also used peeled and cooked shrimp instead of raw and adjusted the cooking time to 3 minutes total, stirring every 30 seconds. My hubby was licking his chops while this was cooking, practically wringing his hands until he could get a taste. We both mopped the plate clean, savoring every bit of the sauce. We both thought this dish is something you might find at a fancy restaurant. And to think it was microwave-cooked! Who could tell? Thank you for this delicious recipe! Definitely a keeper!"
"A delicious and easy way of cooking prawns! We enjoyed these today for our starter before lunch. I made them exactly as stated and they cooked fine for the 5 minutes indicated, but I think you MUST dice the spring onions and garlic very finely for that to work. We thought that the peanut oil was a bit overpowering for the prawns, so will probably use light olive oil or a knob of butter next time. The sherry is an essential ingredient - don't omit it, it made these just an extra bit special! Made for Adopt a Tag recipe - thanks Chef Potts for an easy and tasty recipe! FT:-)"
"Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game Jan-June 2013 and this was a hit! I did mince the onion and garlic per another reviewers suggestion but otherwise followed the instructions. This is so fast, easy and delicious. Definately a keeper. Thank you."
