Research reveals container size matters - Pics
Interesting research from Germany tells us what many suspected: Plants never thrive when they are potbound. Read about it in BBC Nature News:
"Plants grown in pots never reach their full potential, images of their roots show. A medical imaging technique called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used by researchers to capture plant pot root snapshots. The pictures reveal that the roots 'sense the size of the pot' and restrict the growth of the plant."
Here's an MRI of plant roots:
Here is a link that might be useful: Read the article here
As I mentioned on another thread, I'd be curious to know if this was based on peat based or other type of soil. I always inspect roots and have seen this root pattern in peat based soils, but in 5:1:1, the roots are more evenly dispersed and less likely to be rootbound. Is the what you get when roots are constantly looking for air? I suspect so.
Just normal survival genetics .Roots spread outward to gain as much area as possible(this helps to make them stable and claims their territory ) then the roots can work downward from their broad territory.
This is a good thing and is why moving (growing) seedlings thru different sized pots before transplant to final garden area helps to build a strong root network
I firmly agree that bigger is better - as long as you're not introducing a soil-related limitation (over-potting) by going bigger. It really seems that the study overlooked the most basic explanation for changes in root behavior; that being that all parts of a medium in a container don't provide the same growing environment. Roots don't "look" for moisture or nutrients - they simply grow better where conditions are more favorable.
I think reaching the conclusion that roots 'sense' the container walls while ignoring other potential causes for changes in root behavior, and especially not accounting for other influences on root behavior creates an error in logic called questionable cause or a post hoc fallacy. If Joe gets scratched by a cat today and dies tomorrow, you can't logically say with certainty that Joe died of cat scratch fever.
Take a look at the YouTube videos of Bobby, AKA Mhpgardener:
He grows tomatoes in grow bags in his hoop house, and they grow up to the roof - about 13 feet. Then he lets the twine down to let the vine keep growing up. This researcher says that any restriction at all on pot size affects plant growth. If I could grow tomatoes like Bobby, I'd be happy for that kind of 'restriction.' ;-)
My train of thought goes immediately to "medium matters first", and not to pot size... though, with a well thought out substrate, one can grow easily in a larger pot, and over-potting isn't such an issue.
Cramped roots in small pots... or potbound plants... only behave the way they do because they sense impending issues, and the first genetic instinct is to flower and reproduce to move the DNA into the next generation before it's too late.

HOUSTON -- Western Gas Partners has agreed to acquire interests in gas gathering systems from Anadarko Petroleum and Chesapeake Energy for a combined $623.5 million.
The limited partnership, which went public in December, will purchase a 33.75% interest in both the Liberty and Rome gas gathering systems from Anadarko for $490 million. It will also acquire a 33.75% interest in the Larry's Creek, Seely and Warrensville gas-gathering systems from an affiliate of Chesapeake for $133.5 million.
The assets in both the acquisitions serve production from the Marcellus shale in north-central Pennsylvania and have current total combined throughput of more 1.2 Bcfpd.
These immediately accretive Marcellus acquisitions further enhance both our geographic diversity and our fee-based asset portfolio, Western Gas COO Danny Rea said. "We expect that the high quality of the underlying resources in combination with the large inventory of wells not yet connected to the systems will provide significant near-term growth."

Where do I start... Full time is 30 to 40 hours a week so plan on getting 30. Your required to have fully open availability 7day of the week and your schedule will change weekly making it impossible to get another job or go to school. Not being avaliable to work one day out of the week can cause u to be cut down to part time and or let go. They rarely promote from within bye rarely I mean never. There stores are understaffed wich causes their employees to work extremely hard for the pay equivalent to construction work. I highly recommend not working for this company and Or supporting this company bye making purchases from them. Don't let them trap u in this underpaying go no where job it will just waste your time.

Bulgarian Children Suffer from Obesity, Prefer Tv to Sport
Childhood obesity rates are on the rise due to unhealthy diet and lack of enough movement, according to a survey of dietary and nutritional status of students in Bulgaria.
Only 20-36 % of girls and 37-47% of boys engage in any sport activities for at least one hour a day. On average 40% of the kids spend more than five hours daily in front of the laptop or TV, BGNES reports.
The countrywide survey showed that only 20.2% of adolescents between 7 and 18 years consume whole foods and snacks on a regular basis. About 50% of the polled eat fruits and vegetables, and dairy products regularly. Instead, children prefer sandwiches, pizzas and soft drinks.
The unhealthy diet leads to overweight and obesity, which may trigger many diseases, Prof. Veselka Duleva, national consultant in nutrition and dietetics explained.

Music: Hertrich
Lyrics: Hertrich
Falling into the hole
Starfall - the horizon
This hateful imperfection of her eyes
They swell lke orient pearls
Why should they stay ?
Pressed by love to go
You dont speak as You think
it cannot be !
Your vows to her and me !
How shall we find the concord
of Your night and day
And I go, oh spite, oh hell,
to vows that would consist
of the wind
So sorrow's heaviness
does heavier grow
Give me Your hands if we be friends
Oh peace will not harbour me
since night's swift dragons
cut the skies
Night and silence, are You there ?
Weeds of chillness he does wear
So awake when I'm gone
To heaven's breaking fields I come

Arsenic Filter Plant Residue Taken from Oklahoma Park
WEATHERFORD, Okla. (AP) — The mayor of a western Oklahoma town says sandy residue from a plant that filters arsenic from water has been cleared from a park and taken to a transfer station for disposal.
Weatherford Mayor Mike Brown said Friday he first learned of the residue from the Weatherford Daily News, which received a tip from a city employee that sludge containing arsenic had been dumped near Rader Park.
Brown says the plant's operator told him 4 inches of sand that built up in a filter tank about a month ago was taken to a sand pit in the park. He says it was a mistake, but when employees did it, they weren't thinking it might be hazardous.
The Department of Environmental Quality says it is looking into the matter.

"When will Gabriel retire?"
This is another good book by Dan Silva with Gabriel Allon -- one of the most intriguing characters in thriller fiction. He is an assassin with a high sense of purpose, a master spy and detective, a loving family man, and a master of art restorer. He is best friends with the Pope and saves his life at least twice during the series of books. But, he also saves the state of Israel at least once or twice per book.
This episode is constructed as a string of thrillers that starts with the murder of an art historian at the Vatican, and wanders through Paris, St. Moritz, Denmark, Berlin and Jerusalem. Along the way, we get a nice dose of the local scenery, history, and a few art, history, and religion lessons.
Silva's characters stay true to themselves throughout the series and are fairly complex, but once you get to know them, you wish for some new folks to come on board. In this episode, the only new characters of note are the various villains who are just evil people.
George Guidall is always a great narrator/performer and anything he does is worth a listen.
In summary -- if you liked the other books by Silva, you will also like this one. You better read it soon, because it is so timely that I suspect it will not wear well over the years.

text: Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly First and foremost the story of a social pioneer and intellectual acrobat, Jack's exploration of the life of George Sand (1804-1876) is not a standard literary biography. Jack is particularly insightful in her claim that for Sand, literature was not itself the goal of life, but rather a tool with which to probe her psyche in preparation for life. Thus Jack, a lecturer in French at Oxford, finds the seed of Sand's infatuation with the actress Marie Dorval in the inverted gender roles that drive her fiction of the period. And she suggests that Sand's creativity flowed from her writing to the enactment of her fantasies. "She wrote a great deal from personal experience," Jack explains. "But more usually she tested out, in her fiction, possibilities for life which she then had the courage to live out, after the writing event." Sand's diverse literary output, many sexual experiments and seemingly endless array of interests (which ranged from engaging in political activism to painting to making jam), according to the author, were all expressions of a single desire: Sand wanted to dictate the scope of her own life. She identified with both her mother's lower-class background and her father's aristocratic bearing; she thrilled in her femininity but often displayed what was deemed a manly love of physical exercise and intellectual freedom. Though Jack's approach seems at times a bit too coldly analytical for such a robust, effusive subject, she communicates, with unflagging compassion and grace, the force with which Sand traversed life, ignoring critics, defying cultural taboos and trumpeting her individuality. 16 pages of b&w illus.

The only reasonable response is, "Who gives a rat's patoot?" If I deny the reality of the Holocaust, or insist that "2 plus 2 equals a duck," or that I can make 10-minute brownies in six minutes, responding that you may disagree with what I say but will defend my right to say it is a shabby way to sound courageous while actually taking a spineless dive. How brave of you to defend me from a threat that doesn't exist while lamely avoiding actually challenging my statements.
Similarly, there's been a lot of high-minded gasbaggery over this elusive idea of "academic freedom." A more selectively invoked standard is hard to come by. Somehow, when former Harvard President Larry Summers, one of America's most esteemed economists, told a group of academics that the distribution of high-level cognitive abilities may not be evenly spread out among men and women, activist feminist professors got the vapors and claimed, from the comfort of their fainting couches, that their hysteria could only be cured by Summers' head on a platter. But Ward Churchill, a penny-ante buffoon who seems to have downloaded his Ph.D. from cheapdegrees.com, compares the victims of 9/11 to Holocaust planner Adolf Eichmann, and suddenly academic freedom demands Churchill keep his tenured job forever, at taxpayers' expense.
More to the point, academic freedom wasn't at issue in the Columbia case. Unlike Summers and like Churchill, Ahmadinejad wasn't trying to explore the truth. Holocaust deniers aren't truth-tellers, they are deliberate liars and hucksters. Ahmadinejad didn't want "dialogue," he wanted propaganda points. He was there as the mouthpiece for a dangerous, oppressive regime. But many opponents of the Bush administration think the Iranian regime has been inappropriately demonized, and the Columbia crowd thought they could help defuse tensions. The irony is that Columbia's decision backfired, and the university actually magnified that alleged demonization.
But let's not forget that Columbia didn't have the courage to say honestly that it wanted to dabble in foreign policy and controversy, not free inquiry. Saying it was all about free speech doesn't make it so.

A quick announcement…
Later this week I'm heading out to California for #ExperienceEarthbound!
Most of you are probably familiar with Earthbound Farm (if you're like me, their spring mix is probably in your fridge right now). They basically started a salad revolution by being the first successful company to launch prewashed, packaged salad for retail sale.
I'm excited about the itinerary that's lined up for the trip (you can follow along with hashtag #ExperienceEarthbound), and I look forward to sharing the details with you afterwards.
And even though I'll be out of town, I have recipe posts scheduled for Wednesday and Friday this week, so be sure to come back for some good eats!

Food Blogger Cookbook Swap 2014Friday, February 28th, 2014
Nearly everyone I know is a cookbook collector.
It always starts innocently enough; maybe you found a book that was on sale for a song and couldn't be missed, or maybe you had to buy your favorite chef's cookbook(s). But then before you realized what was happening, you moved your entire collection into the spare room and bought a third new bookshelf to house it.
Sound familiar? Me too. (more…)

Join us for Sunday Services at 10:30 every Sunday and explore what, or rejoice in, what being a Unitarian Universalist is all about. Scroll down for the schedule of upcoming services.
Evensong is a service by you and for you. Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday we get together and present what inspires us be it music, poetry meditations, readings, etc. All are welcome.
Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans is an Earth-based Spirituality group open to all who wish to learn and share the Great Mystery/Spirit and the many paths and faces of Paganism.
9185 Monte Vista Ave,
Montclair, California

"...to seek knowledge in freedom to the end that all souls shall grow in harmony with the divine. Thus do we covenant with each other"
– Monte Vista UU Congregation
In addition to speaking on the long rich history of universalism, Rev. Fristad will be relating that the teaching of eternal damnation is not merely a harmless untruth that we might appropriately ignore and allow to stand, but it has serious consequences. It leads to the possibility, perhaps even the inevitability, of wars, bigotry, oppression and abuse. On the other hand, the teaching of universalism leads to equality, respect, love and dignity for all.
Rev. Kalen Fristad has been a United Methodist minister for more than 38 years, is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship, and is President of the Christian Universalist Association. He retired from the parish ministry in 2013, but continues to travel the country speaking on universalism. Over the years he has spoken at more than 170 UU churches. Rev. Fristad has written a book on universalism, entitled; DESTINED FOR SALVATION: God's Promise to Save Everyone, and a Study Book with the same title. His books, CDs and DVDs will be available for purchase after the service.

You Think You Know Marilyn Manson?
There's never a lack of strange facts when it comes to Marilyn Manson, but we've dug some stuff up for this latest episode of You Think You Know Metal?.
With his paradoxically offensive and infectious brand of post-industrial heavy rock, Marilyn Manson reinvented shock rock for the benefit of Generation X and, as a result, simultaneously became one of the most successful and reviled musical artists of the 20th Century's final decade. Born in Canton, Ohio, as Brian Hugh Warner, on January 5, 1969, the man who would become Marilyn Manson relocated to Florida after high school and was studying journalism when he founded his eponymous band in 1989. With the help of guitarist Scott Mitchell — soon reborn as Daisy Berkowitz — and other local musicians willing to combine the names of celebrity divas with those of serial killers (e.g. keyboardist Madonna Wayne Gacey and, later, bassist Twiggy Ramirez), Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, as the group was first known, spent the next few years honing its provocative music, scandalous image and theatrical stage act — finally earning the patronage of Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor, who signed them to his Nothing Records imprint. Reznor would go on to produce Marilyn Manson's first three, breakthrough releases, 'Portrait of an American Family' (1994), the 'Smells Like Children' EP (1995), and 'Antichrist Superstar' (1996), before the pair experienced a bitter falling out. But by then, Marilyn Manson — both band and its titular frontman — had become a household name for smitten young fans and their outraged parents to bicker about at dinner time. Despite Reznor's conspicuous absence, 1998's 'Mechanical Animals' was another chart smash and Marilyn Manson took their ritualistic concerts to new heights over the ensuing year. Until the Columbine shooting tragedy of April 1999 saw Manson rather unfairly scapegoated as a symbol of pop culture violence and decadence, forced the cancellation of a tour. Shaken but unbowed, the band simply channeled this unwanted attention into their next LP, 'Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death),' and its leader grew even bolder with his multi-media ambitions for 2003's 'The Golden Age of Grotesque,' which was tied to his first fine arts show. What's more, like his fundamental creative role model, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, the man, had by this point become bigger than Marilyn Manson, the band, and after announcing then renouncing his retirement from music, he has carried on recording and touring sporadically in a variety of guises. Backing musicians and musical influences may evolve and change now and then, but Marilyn Manson's iconic persona now overshadows all else.
There's never a lack of strange facts when it comes to Marilyn Manson, but we've dug some stuff up for this latest episode of You Think You Know Metal?.

ARCATA, Calif. (AP) — Happily isolated on California's remote Humboldt County coast, Arcata has long made room in its heart for marijuana, whether grown illegally in the back woods by refugees of the Summer of Love, or legally in the back rooms of homes by medical pot patients.
But the mellow days are coming to an end. Even Arcata residents who support legalization of marijuana have become fed up with high-volume indoor growing operations that take over much-needed housing and take advantage of the state's loosely written medical marijuana law.
The neighbors of these clandestine pot farms — operated behind curtains, shutters and alarm systems — complain of the skunk-like stink of cannabis, fire hazards, rising rents, vicious guard dogs, caches of guns, illegal pesticides, roadside dumping of unwanted growing gear, and late-night visits from shady characters.
Rather than throw more cops at the problem, the City Council is fighting back in a way befitting this liberal outpost that would rather be known for its pioneering community forest and sewage treatment marsh than marijuana.
Measure I on next week's ballot would impose a 45 percent electricity tax on households — with medical and other exceptions — that use three times the amount of power a typical family home does. The measure takes aim at commercial growers who maximize production by packing homes full of high intensity lights and irrigation systems that gobble electricity and sometimes cause fires from overloaded circuits.
"Our hope is to drive the large-scale growing operations out of town," said Shane Brinton, a city councilman and vice mayor who has pushed the novel idea.
"I don't view it as anti-marijuana," said Brinton. "It's a land-use issue, a public safety issue, and environmental issue as well."
If it passes, it would be the first measure of its kind in the nation aimed at marijuana growers, said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The amount of electricity that would subject a resident to the tax amounts to a $700 per month bill, and is equivalent to the power used by a big chain drug store. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. reports that 633 homes — one in 15— are using that much juice, indicating they are raising pot rather than families.
If that many growers decide to absorb the tax instead of getting out of town, the tax would generate $1.2 million, or nearly 4 percent of the city's $31.7 million budget.
Located on the rainy coast 280 miles north of San Francisco, Arcata is a city of 17,000 that dates to the days when mule trains carried goods from the shipping port to the Gold Rush Country. The lumber and fishing industry here have fallen on hard times, but Humboldt State University is a foundation of the local economy, with contributions from niche manufacturers of gourmet cookies, kayaking gear and goat cheese.
Since the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s, marijuana has been creeping into the culture and economy, and now permeates it, said Tony Silvaggio, a Humboldt State sociologist and a founder of the Humboldt Institute of Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research.
"This is the center of marijuana culture in the universe," he said. "One of the reasons is we have a very tolerant attitude toward marijuana. Word gets around, and people come here with the sole purpose to grow marijuana indoors..."
Unlike some other states' medical marijuana laws, California's Compassionate Use Act of 1996 sets no limits on plants or processed marijuana, does not prohibit the sale of excess medical marijuana to other patients or dispensaries, does not require patients or growers to register, and does not lay out which diseases or conditions can be treated with marijuana. When growers get busted, they often claim they are growing for patients.
Based on interviews with hundreds of growers, Silvaggio said even medical marijuana growers usually sell their extra, so the two markets cannot be separated. "Part of the problem with the marijuana economy is it is unregulatable," he said.
Several years ago, people here began realizing that whole blocks of houses had been taken over by illegal growers, said Kevin Hoover, editor of the irreverent weekly newspaper The Arcata Eye.
"We came to realize we weren't really dealing with hippies and the Zig Zag man. It was this industry," said Hoover. "More than the dangers, it was this loss of neighborhood community. You can't have your neighbor take in the paper when you're on vacation. You can't borrow a cup of sugar."
To get their neighborhoods back, more and more people are informing on their neighbors, said Police Chief Tom Chapman.
Police are making progress, but still hardly making a dent.
In 2010 Arcata police served search warrants on six houses and in 2011 that rose to 14. So far this year, police investigated 48 houses, and got warrants to search 17. But only nine produced enough evidence for criminal prosecution. Police had to buy two huge shipping containers to haul off growing equipment.
Driving an unmarked SUV with his guitar in the back seat — he plays in a classic rock band — Chapman points out house after house. One bust produced 750 plants and 13 pounds of processed marijuana. Another was a half block from a grassy playground where kids and dogs romped.
"This is Small Town USA," he said. "The people who live here are a bunch of working folks, salt of the earth, people just trying to get by."
A typical grower, the chief said, is a 20- or 30-something from outside the area, who has moved into a house with an absentee landlord. They pay their rent on time with cash that stinks of marijuana.
"Most of the landlords claim ignorance," he said.
Marnin Robbins has seen a half-dozen houses in his neighborhood raided by police.
"I don't have a problem with marijuana," he said. "But I do have a problem with people turning their houses into factories and bringing a violent element into our neighborhood."
Measure I has no organized opposition. But Mark Sailors, who drives a pedal cab downtown and grows medical marijuana for himself, his wife and his mother, has long felt city attempts to control medicinal cannabis are hypocritical.
"This is just another in a long line of what I call Arcata's medical marijuana Jim Crow laws," Sailors said. "They pay a lot of lip service to being pro-Compassionate Use Act. But all their actions are trying to limit people and discourage the use" of medical marijuana.

This course is self-paced, so you don't need to be logged in at any specific time. Expect to dedicate an average of 5 hours per week, but you can work ahead or catch up if you fall behind. Keep in mind that the instructor will be there to answer your questions and help you learn for the duration of the course. The instructor will only be available to answer questions during the posted session dates, so ask all your questions while we're in session. You will have access to all of the online materials for a full year. Contact Tom McCormack, your Student Advocate, if you have questions before or after the posted session dates. Please review the orientation materials and introduce yourself on the discussion board.
TOPICS COVERED: A look at what's unique to these systems as opposed to the more common closed loop approach. What's happening in the well as water is circulated between the building and the ground. A progression from cylindrical steady-state heat transfer to transient quasi-steady state implementation. Measurement of thermal conductivity, diffusivity and relaxation characteristics of the well. A look at a SCW installation: drilling techniques, HVAC Hardware, and controls.
Students will use lessons from the first half of the course to complete a standing column well design exercise for homework.
TOPICS COVERED: Unlike closed loops, open loop systems require extension into the mechanical room for heat exchange...towards a turnkey system. HVAC system performance hinges on EWT to the heat pumps and parasitic power used to transport heat. Addressing the time dependent elements of load, SCW temperature, heat pump operation and parasitic power over extended periods. What's the payback on the net capital outlay? We'll conclude by considering potential regulatory issues.
As amazing as this course is, it's impossible to learn everything in two short weeks. That's why it's critical to use the resources, contacts, and industry support provided to continue your leaning as you put the information to work in the field.

great experience
Got a fabulous rate for four days. Beautiful room and surroundings. Only glitch was a midnight fire alarm -- especially problematic in a large hotel.
Best Weekend Trip EVER
We enjoyed our stay at the Dupont Hotel (previously Jury's) this MLK day weekend very much! The room was clean and comfortable, but the bathroom design wasn't the best. Water from the shower leaked out into the room and pooled in the bathroom
area. Had to sop it up with a towel. The room service was TO DIE FOR! My boyfriend and I ordered steaks, flat bread, veggies, salad, and dessert and everything was delicious. I would even say it was the best meal we had in DC (and we treated ourselved very well!). The prices for room service were decent compared to other hotels too. The location couldn't be beat, it was very close to the Metro and there was a lot to do in Dupont Circle.
So many great options to choose from! We ate at Firefly and Mai Thai for dinner (I especially liked the atmosphere and prices at Mai Thai). We also enjoyed Sunday brunch at the Afterwords Cafe (in Kramerbooks) and it was excellent. Everything was within a ten minute walk.
Du Pont Hotel.
Very nice, clean modern, sparse. Great location. Rooms were small but overcame that with good modern design.
Parking is expensive.
Business Travel To DC
Held several meetings in the Cafe and the staff was very professional and courteous. Some of the staff in the Dupont cafe did not speak English. That is always very inconvenient.
You can save over $100 on your trip by taking the Metro from the Airport to the Dupont Hotel. It only cost $3.
modern and convenient
We were in DC over Thanksgiving to visit family and re-visit the art galleries. The Dupont Hotel is modern, tasteful, accomodating; the restaurant is excellent and the bar at night lively. Staff and service were very responsive.
The Metro at Dupont Circle can get you to all the downtown attractions, and in nice weather, they are a pleasant 20 - 30 minute walk away.
Good Choice @ The Dupont Circle
Nice, comfortable room.
Small gym: No free weights, available treadmills
Valet parking is pricey (35$ / night)
2 good dining options @ the hotel
Complimentary Internet
Would not recommend
Good location..average experience
Attended Rally in DC
Checkin agent was distant and unhelpful
Other staff more friendly
Room had missing tile in bathroom and toilet leaked.
No coffee maker in room
Wonderful comfy beds
My sister-in-law and I went to DC for my nephew's graduatiom from Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies.
The hotel is beautiful and the room is also lovely. The room was terribly small and the lighting is NOT for makeup
application! The lighting in the bathroom was equally as bad.
The resturant and bar at the hotel was very good and the bar is always packed. There are also many good resturants within walking distance.
Generally speaking, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping didn't do such a bang up job. My sister-in-law was ill one night and the room was never really clean after that. One day they forgot to leave us any washcloths.
I definitely would not have chosen that hotel if it weren't for the special occassion we were attending.
The metro is only about a block away. Check out the passes that are available for visitors. It is much more economical than paying as you go.
Fab Hotel!
Great hotel for the younger crowd, the bar was really lively and all the staff were extremely friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the main areas of the hotel were also lovely. Location was great within walking distance of 2 subway stations
which is really cheap and easy to use to get around. There are also a good few nice restaurants around, the only thing is the traffic is pretty busy around the circle and if your a light sleeper i'd recommend a higher floor!
Hotel Dupont
Attended an awards Gala. Visited new Monuments and Museums such as "The Holocaust" museum and Korean War Memorial and of course the National Zoo! The hotel location was perfect. Close to the Metro, shopping, access to monuments, museums, and
food. Had a wonderful time! Breakfast at the hotel was healthy, with fast and courteous service.
Great stay
Really liked this hotel! Staff was outstanding and rooms were very clean!! Dupont Circle has a great vibe but can be noisy. If you are a heavy sleeper - look no further!

"Must Read on Wall Street and TARP"
I've read most of the books on the mortgage swindles. This is the best, most interesting and names names. Barofsky is my new hero. He also is self deprecating, humorous and gives credit where due. The snakes in Washington do not compare to the drug runners in Columbia he prosecuted.
This is in the wrong category. I cannot believe I finished this book. The characters have no depth. The narrator is about 14. Just a huge waste of time.
Not a one held any interest for me.
"Much racier than expected"
The baking and the bakers life style.
Various amateur detective novels
For the most part, I enjoyed the narration. Her attempt at various voices was not satisfactory, but not as distracting as some.
Muffins and Mystery and Murder Most Foul
I liked the story and the various characters, which is why I like Kerry Greenwood. She peoples her books with the most interesting characters. And so out of the ordinary. And the situations she puts them in. Quite shocking here.
"Horrible narration, good story"
Tana French writes the most fascinating stories, but this narration is horrible. I like when the reader just reads the story - though not enough for me to quit reading.
"Dog lovers only"
I had no idea the story would be told in the third person? narrative by a dog. I should have sent it back but kept thinking the detective would eventually take a larger part. Nope.
"Bizarre coming of age novel"
This book is about boys in a school coming of age but drugs, suicide, beatings, not my cup of tea. I read the whole thing and was very happy it was over. 3 parts?! "Probably won a Pulitzer", she said sarcastically.
"Not the L. Block I know"
I have read most of the Matt Scudder and the Hitman series but this is before Block learned how to write.
"very down to earth and very funny"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Short pieces of Tina Fey's life but gives us insight into her drive and character. All the while light and funny. Her comic writing abilities come through in the book. I loved it.
"Wrong narrator"
The book was mediocre at best. The plot was so unreal it was beyond belief. I have listened to narrator Anna Fields read other books and I like her. I did not like her on this book at all. Her attempt at the different voices was terrible and distracting. When a reader just reads the book I like it better. I can imagine the voices. Some readers are great at the different voices and accents, but if the reader is not, they should just read.
Trite, predictable, juvenile, generally a waste of a credit and my time.

Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls is a non-denominational girls school[1] and sixth form centre in the London Borough of Havering, England. The school educates girls between the ages of 11 and 18 (school years 7 to 13).
The school is located in Brentwood Road, Romford. In 2011 the school had 1308 pupils on its roll. The majority of pupils have white UK backgrounds though there has been a steady increase in girls from other ethnic and cultural backgrounds including African-Caribbean and those from the Indian subcontinent[1]
The student body represents girls from many different council estates. Just over 7% of pupils claim free school meals which is below the national average.[1] Until 2003 the school was based on two separate sites; the Upper School (school years 9-13) at the existing site in Brentwood Road (built in 1910) and the Lower School (school years 7 and 8) at a separate site in Heath Park Road (built in 1906 and recognised by the Essex Education authority in 1909 when a commemorative stone was placed in the wall at the front of the school). These two sites were around a quarter of a mile from one another, and joined by a long road which is Catherine Road at the Lower School end and Lawrence Road at the Upper School end.[2] Girls from the Upper School often attended lessons on the Lower School site. GCSE and AS/A Level Art and Design were two of the subjects which girls frequently had to travel between the two sites for. It was considered that this was a less than desirable situation.
It was this less than desirable situation which meant that in 2003 the Lower School Site was sold and developed into houses and flats. The main school building was converted into 12 apartments and 2 duplex galleried houses and renamed 'Academy Square'. As it is a grade II Listed Building it could not be knocked down. This project was not completed entirely until 2006 and went on to win the Built-In Quality Award from the London District Surveyors Association. This part of the work was done by Cove Architects who specialise in "Built-In" architecture (i.e. when a building which already exists is converted into something else).
The other buildings, including the gym, "B-Block" (a prefabricated building dating from the late 1980s) and "wing" (a supposedly temporary structure dating from the 1940s and consisting of a science laboratory and three classrooms) were demolished, and houses built on them. This estate is now known as 'Academy Fields'.
The schools motto is "Gladly Lerne, Gladly Teche" and comes from the quotation "And gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly teche." from Prologue, Line 310 of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
Previous to the school becoming The Frances Bardsley School for Girls in 1972, the two sites had housed "sister" schools; a Secondary modern school and a Grammar school.
The first school was started, in 1906, by the founder Frances Bardsley in the centre of Romford; her vision was to provide free education for local girls. So established did the school become that it moved into large new premises on the northern outskirts of Romford (the modern day site on Brentwood Road). In the 1930s, as a result of educational policy the school became a selective Grammar school, and was renamed the Romford County High School for Girls.
At this time the old Lower School site on Heath Park Road (now Academy Fields) was the Secondary Modern school known as The Heath Park Secondary Modern School for Girls.
After the reforming implementation of Comprehensive schools during the 1970s The Romford County High School for Girls and The Heath Park Secondary Modern School for Girls amalgamated to become what we now know as The Frances Bardsley School for Girls, and the Lower School/Upper School dynamic that was in place until 2003, was established.
The school gained Specialist school status in the Visual arts in July 2004, and then converted to academy status on 1 July 2012.
Head Teachers[edit]
The current headmaster (from September 2011) is Julian Dutnall. The previous headteacher was Suzanne Phillips. She held the post from 2001 to 2011. Previous to her taking over the role the Headmistress was Pamela Joughin. The headmistress during the 1980s was Mrs Irwin-Hunt.
The school has 8 forms, named after trees. These forms are:
- Fagus (Beech) (commonly referred to as 'F' which stands for 'Fagus' the Latin word for Beech)
- Birch (commonly referred to as 'B')
- Elm (commonly referred to as 'E')
- Larch (commonly referred to as 'L')
- Oak (commonly referred to as 'O')
- Rowan (commonly referred to as 'R')
- Sycamore (commonly referred to as 'S')
- Willow (commonly referred to as 'W')
There are a variety of sporting and creative house activities planned throughout the year. A House cup is presented at Sports Day and House points are awarded for all activities. There is one House event planned in school diary for each half term. The student leadership team which consists of year 12/13 students are Heads of each House. Girls wear house ribbon across the front pocket on their blazer.
- In 1995, Heenal Raichura, at the age of just nine years old, joined Frances Bardsley School for Girls. She was the youngest person in UK to join a secondary school.[citation needed]
- In 1998 Head of Physical Education, Melanie Cambridge, appeared on the now decommissioned LWT show Don't Try This at Home. The programme was based on a series of daredevil stunts, and Melanie had to jump out of a plane. This was most noteworthy to pupils at the time, because Essex-boy Darren Day brought his camera crew into the Lower School to "challenge" Melanie.
- In 1999 the school choir, at the time led by Christine Petherick, sang on the London Heart 106.2 FM especially commissioned version of 'I Have a Dream' with Irish boyband, Westlife. They won this privilege after sending the radio station in a tape of them singing the song.
- The actress currently playing Louisa in The Sound of Music revival at London Palladium attends the school. Her name is Sophie Onslow [1]
- Current teacher (& Deputy Head) at the school, Karen Tann, was awarded a Royal Institute of ChemistryTeacher Fellowship in 2005 [2]
- Former teacher Kate Spiller had her obituary published in The Guardian when she died in 2006. You can read it here
Absence rates[edit]
The school has a 7% authorised absence rate and 0.5% unauthorised absence rate. This compares favorably to the 7% national authorised absence rate and 1.2% unauthorised absence rate in the UK.
GCSE results[edit]
The last published available information is from 2004, when 73% of pupils in Year 11 achieved 5 or more A*-C GCSE's. This was up on the previous year when 70% of pupils in Year 11 achieved 5 or more A*-C GCSE's
Ofsted results[edit]
The last Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) inspection took place on 13–14 October 2011 (inspection number 376704). Liz Duffy led the investigation, assisted by a team of five other inspectors.
The full report, as well as previous reports, can be read here: [3]
Relationship with parents[edit]
From as far back as the school has existed the school has maintained strong links with parents and pupils. The school regularly issues newsletters. As of 2013, the academy has issued information to parents through ParentMail. Here is a copy of a newsletter from 2001, this is a good example of the areas the regular newsletter covers: read it here
