List is awesome, mine is great, too.
Friend, this site is great,join you.
Hi, friend, glad to visit you.
Hi Pearlie,
First time I've been to your shelf for a while, and find myself very drawn by your review of "People of the Book". Sounds very interesting, and think I'll add to my wish list.
PS the comment by Eutychus on "Beale's book" also sounds interesting, do you know the title of the book being referred to?
Hi Pearlie,
Beale's book is very good--especially for scholarly types like you ;)
Beale traces the theme of a temple/tabernacle from the Garden of Eden (a type of temple or dwelling place of God) through the Scriptures to the descent of the temple in the book of Revelation. Along with it he traces the idea of God people being kings and priests. Very helpful in getting a grasp on God's purposes for humanity and for eschatology.
You might enjoy these lectures by Beale:
http://www.desertspringschurch.org/beale. They will give you a good overview of his thinking.

TC TO ISABELLA CARLYLE; 7 January 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540107-TC-IC-01; CL 29: 8-9
Chelsea, 7 jany, 1854—
Dear Isabella,
Here is a small Newyear's-Gift whh I am still entitled to send you; which I hope you will receive on Monday next,—still in time for the Old Newyearsday,1 which prevails in Annandale:—Jamie will change it into sovereigns for you; and you will accept it along with grateful good wishes from this house, where your kindness to any member of it that comes near you is well acknowledged and known. The stripe of stamps is for Jamie; a debt which I owe him by fair borrowing.—If there is any difficulty in the other Paper he got, for want of the stamp,—let him simply send it hither, and I will rectify that
I wrote him a hurried line the day after I came home; a similar line to the Dr: I have yet heard nothing from any Annandale quarter. Last night indeed the Free Kirk Minr of Ecclefechan2 sent some Note, apology &c upon a subject on which I did not care to hear him: let his civility at least be made known to you.— I have kept myself rigorously private hitherto; have seen nobody whatever; have been languidly trailing about endeavouring to put my rubbish out of the way in some measure; and try at least to make some better exertion in the now grave time that is come.3
The weather, that next day when I went out, was still professedly frosty; but nothing like so cold as at Scotsbrig: on the following night, there fell such a quantity of snow as few or none ever saw here,—a thick fall even for Scotland;—which stopped almost all the wheel-vehicles, and has been the chief business of the people ever since: happily the thaw is strong today,—wet wind from the south,—and is now rapidly ridding us of it. I could like to know how you have fared in that and other points since I left.
Give my brotherly regards to Jamie, whom I am very grateful to, for his worth and sense as well as for his honest kindness to me. Jane is tolerably well here; going out daily, in spite of the slippery streets. She sends her affectionate regards to you and to all the Scotsbrig house. Jamie himself could write us a word, could not he? At all events you can.

College Hockey:Wild Night At Ingalls: Deschenes Hatter Paces 7-6 Yale Win Over Vermont
Hamilton Becomes All-Time Scorer; Elis Win After Blowing Two-Goal Lead
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — It wasn't the way Yale head coach Tim Taylor drew it up, but his team picked up two critical conference points in a wild 7-6 win over Vermont at Ingalls Rink.
Nick Deschenes had his first career hat trick, and Luke Earl added five points to spur the Yale (13-13, 9-10 ECAC) victory, while Jeff Hamilton pair of points put him atop the school's all-time scoring list. The Bulldogs moved into a tie for sixth place in the conference standings while the Catamounts (11-14-2, 7-10-2) dropped into a tie for ninth with Union.
Before a sold-out crowd of 3,486, Dan Lombard made 24 saves for Yale to record the victory. Vermont's Andrew Allen stopped 12 shots before head coach Mike Gilligan replaced him in the second period with Shawn Conschafter, who made 14 saves.
"That [game] left me speechless," Taylor said. "The game plan was to put defense first, to play a tight, close-checking game and shut them down. We won the game without following the game plan completely."
Hamilton, who has four goals and two assists in his last two games, moved past Mark Kaufmann as Yale's all-time leading scorer with 161 points. He tied the record with an assist in the first period and took sole possession of first with a goal in the second period, earning the senior a standing ovation.
"It's a big relief [to break the record]," he said. "I wouldn't be human if I wasn't thinking about it."
Said Taylor, "I'm happy for Jeff. He's clearly one of the finest offensive talents that's ever played at Yale. It's well deserved, and he's a spectacular offensive player."
After a 5-1 loss to Union last Friday night, Taylor juggled his lines, moving Deschenes off the top line while putting Earl alongside leading scorers Hamilton and Stafford. The move has paid off — Yale has scored 13 goals in two wins, and Deschenes and Earl have combined for 12 points.
Earl got the Bulldogs on the board first with his eighth goal of the season just 1:17 into the game. He took a Stafford pass and beat Allen with a backhander that found its way between the goaltender's pads.
The Catamounts answered at the 4:47 mark when Ryan Cox banged in his eighth goal of the year. After Lombard made stops on Jeff Miles and Patrick Sharp, Cox knocked the second rebound over the sprawling netminder to even the score at 1-1.
Just 23 seconds later, though, Earl tipped a Hamilton blast from the left circle that found the top of the goal. The tally was Earl's ninth of the year and tied Hamilton for the Yale scoring lead.
With 2:55 left in the opening period, Vermont's Mike Torney evened the score at 2-2 with his second goal of the season. John Longo carried the puck from his own end, gained the Yale zone, drew two defenders at the right circle and left a pretty drop pass to Torney. The Vermont winger rifled a wrist shot over Lombard's left shoulder for the score.
After the first 20 minutes, the fans had already seen four goals, an unusually high total for a game at Ingalls Rink. But they hadn't seen anything yet.
During the second period, the two teams treated the fans to seven goals, 27 shots on net and some brilliant saves by beleaguered goaltenders.
Longo gave the Catamounts their first lead of the game just 29 seconds in. His shot from 20 feet out hit traffic in front of the Yale net and found its way past Lombard. But Vermont's momentum was short-lived.
Hamilton notched his 15th of the season just 23 seconds later. After some hard work behind the Vermont net by Stafford, the loose puck ended up on Hamilton's stick, and he flipped a backhander from between the hash marks through traffic and over Allen's right shoulder. The goal tied the game at 3-3 and brought the crowd to its feet to salute Yale's new scoring king.
The Bulldogs kept the pressure up, taking the lead back 4-3 at the 4:24 mark. Earl moved into right circle, waited a moment, faked a shot, then found Deschenes on the left side. He skated in on Allen, forced the goaltender to slide, then beat him with an easy backhander from point-blank range to pick up his 13th goal.
Longo nearly tied the score just over a minute later while the Catamounts were on the penalty kill. Hamilton and Joe Dart misconnected on a long pass in the Yale zone, allowing Longo to steal the puck and move in on Lombard. But the Yale goaltender made a spectacular sprawling save to keep the lead at 4-3.
Allen's night ended shortly thereafter, giving up a soft goal to John Gauger at 8:55. After a big hit in the Vermont zone by Yale's Lee Jelenic forced a turnover, Gauger flipped a relatively soft wrister towards the Vermont net. Allen appeared to have a clear view of the puck the whole way, but he misplayed it off his glove and into the net for the Yale defenseman's first goal of the season.
For the second straight game, Gilligan made a goaltender switch, pulling Allen in favor of Conschafter. In last Saturday's 5-2 loss to Cornell, he replaced Conschafter with Allen for the third period.
Two minutes later, Lombard again came up with a critical save, denying Jerry Gernander on a breakaway with a sliding stop. But at the 13:01 mark, Jerry's twin brother Jim Gernander was not to be denied. Just after a Vermont power play expired, he fired a shot from the right point that was deflected past Lombard for his second goal of the season.
Deschenes answered at 17:03 to give Yale another two-goal lead. On the power play, Stafford retrieved the puck in his own zone and moved up ice. As he led Earl through the neutral zone, Stafford was speared in the stomach, crumpling to the ice. While he was down, Earl moved into the Vermont zone and used a pretty touch pass to feed Deschenes at the bottom of the right circle. He then slid the puck past Conschafter's left leg for a 6-4 lead. Stafford, who earned an assist on the play, stayed in the game.
In a game filled with momentum swings, the Catamounts wrested it back just 44 seconds later. After four players battled for the puck behind the Yale net, it came squirting out in front where Billy Kelly gathered it between the hash marks. He roofed it over Lombard's glove hand to pull Vermont within one at 6-5.
Just over a minute later, Earl made a bid for a hat trick, but Conschafter robbed him, sending the teams to the dressing room after an eventful second period.
The Catamounts seemed to feed off their momentum from the second period as Jeff Miles brought them all the way back to a 6-6 tie at the 1:16 mark of the third. He took a long cross-ice pass from Bryson Busniuk, faked a shot, then fired the puck through Lombard's legs.
But once again, the Elis answered. At 4:38, Deschenes pounded in a rebound to give Yale the lead back at 7-6, notching his first career hat trick in the process.
The Catamounts threatened for the rest of regulation but could not get the equalizer. Conschafter went to the bench for an extra skater with 1:15 left, but the Bulldogs ended up getting the scoring chances. While Vermont managed only one shot on Lombard with its net empty, Hamilton and Deschenes each had easy chances to put the game away. But both of them hit the post, keeping the Catamounts in the game until the final buzzer.
The Catamounts travel to eighth-place Princeton on Saturday night while the Bulldogs host Dartmouth, which is fifth.

Josh Randall - Wanted Dead or Alive
Triad Toys
Packaging - ***1/2
The exterior of the package is fairly basic, without much in the way of
graphics. It has a nice western feel though, and I'm particularly happy
with the collector friendly nature and small size.
there's a couple twisties inside, for the most part the figure is easy
to remove and replace with no damage. They've used one of the opposing
trays, set against the fifth panel, to hold most of the accessories,
but rather than tape or glue this in place, they have plastic pegs to
hold it firm. It's a good design, and it allows for a thinner, smaller
Sculpt - ***1/2
Triad's sculpting continues to improve, although it hasn't yet reached
a level to compete head to head with Hot Toys or Enterbay.
Paint - ***
The paint work on the eyes, skin and lips is very good, with clean
lines and good color. The face is a little darker than the body though,
which is most noticeable at the neck.
the sculpt, the real paint issues are with the hair. They've attempted
to capture the dirty blond look with a yellow and black mixture, and
it's not working for me. The two colors are just too distinct from each
other, without enough blending, and even in person it stands out.
Articulation - ***1/2
The underlying body is the Triad Omega, and I'm very happy with the
quality, number of joints, and range of movement.
did find that the neck is a little too thin for this and several other
head sculpts. The long neck can look cause a character to look a bit
like a giraffe, and that's true here if Josh is not wearing the heavy
But the body can take very
life-like poses, with the
ability to hang very naturally. The joints were also all tight enough
to hold poses for extended periods, and I had no worries about the
figure falling over easily.
Accessories - ***
Most of Josh's extras I'm counting as parts of his outfit, rather than
as separate accessories.
main accessory is is Mare's Leg gun. It's very well sculpted, and the
paint work is decent. It could use a little more detailing in the wood
stocks to set them apart from the gun metal, but that's a minor nit.
lever moves, as does the hammer, and it fits in the included holster in
the same manner as on the show. Unfortunately, the lever won't stay
snapped in place, so it tends to drop down when the gun is in the
other true accessory is the included shells, which fit in loops on the
belt. There's plenty of them, and they are made out of metal, not
Still, considering the $90 price
point, that's a tad
light. Some additional hands designed for other poses are a
needed touch.
Outfit - ***1/2
While the accessories are a bit light, there's plenty of extra outfit
hat fits well for a separately sculpted piece. It's still a little big
though, as it's impossible to get away from that size issue when the
head and hat are not a single entity.
the other end of the
body is his cowboy boots, done up in a very traditional style. There's
also metal spurs (that actually spin!) that attached with the use of
two straps. Take a look at the last photo showing the
location of
the buckle on the outside of the foot if you have any problems figuring
them out. They are VERY tough to get on, and I spent quite a bit of
time trying to find the best way without damaging the leather straps.
You'll have to bend the spurs outward (they are metal, but be careful),
and take the top strap out of the buckle as far as you can. Once you
have it on (the strap over the toes and then the spur over the heel)
you can tighten up the top strap.
There's also the belt on his
pants, as well as a second
belt/holster combo. These are made from leather, and have real working
buckles, even on the leg tie-down. As previously mentioned, the
cartridges fit nicely in small loops around the belt.
The holster
is definitely different. There's only an interior flap of leather
against his leg. and the barrel is held in place with the bottom strap.
This is the same strap that goes around his leg. This is actually
accurate to the show, and works pretty well.
His cloth pieces
include a traditional blue flannel shirt, blue jeans, and a heavy
leather and sheepskin jacket. The jacket is a tight fit, but when it's
completely snapped closed, I think it really makes the figure stand
out. The quality of the stitching, materials and style is excellent,
and the tailoring makes it one of the nicest coats in this scale I've
seen in some time.
My one nit here is the large
snaps used to
hold it closed. Since the female pieces of the snaps are attached to
the front of the left side of the coat, they extremely obvious and
unsightly when the jacket is left open. Closed is definitely the way to
Fun Factor - ***
While cowboys might be passe now, they were once all the rage, and they
are still damn fun. Hey, pirates managed to make a comeback, and I
think cowboys will too - with the right movie or television show. Of
course, my opinion might be a bit twisted here, since the favorite toys
of my youth were my Best of the West action figures.
Josh is clearly aimed at the collector market, the quality of the
figure, outfit and accessories is high enough that breakage or damage
is unlikely with normal handling and even play.
Value - **
At $90, Triad is floating around in the higher end sixth scale market.
While this figure is good, it's still not quite at the quality that can
demand that price point. If you can pick this guy up in the $60 - $70
range, you'll be much closer to the average.
Things To Watch Out For
If you mess around with
the shells in the holster, be sure to keep an eye on them. Once freed
up from their slot, they tend to fall out, and they are mighty small.
Overall - ***
I'm a huge fan of westerns and western action figures, so picking up
this guy was a no brainer. He's going to go quite nicely with other
figures like the Six Gun Legends, and the overall quality is quite high.
$90 price tag is still a bit much to take though, considering what
other companies are producing. Much of this price is due to the small
size of Triad, and the limited number of figures they produce, and as
they have more success, I expect their costs will come down.

Fishing has been defined as a jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end.
Selling big-ticket items such as houses, cars, appliances and jewelry is a lot like fishing. Salespeople, including savvy homesellers, hook you and reel you in by using a variety of negotiation strategies. They use those time-tested tactics on you whether you want them to or not.
Since you can't avoid the salesperson's negotiating ploys, your only defense is to recognize what he's doing. You then have the chance to use some of those tactics yourself -- becoming the fisherman instead of the fish.
It's called haggling. How well you do it could be the key factor in determining the price you agree to pay for your new home or car.
When consumers make major purchases, the most common mistake they make is to assume that negotiating is not an option, says Steven Cohen, who dispenses advice online and in seminars as founder of The Negotiation Skills Company.
It's there, if you can find it
In fact, he says, there is room for negotiation in virtually every purchase.
Roger Volkema, a management professor at American University, touts the Golden Rule of Negotiation: "People will not negotiate with you unless they believe you can help them or hurt them."
You can help the seller by buying, and hurt the seller by going to a competitor or by wasting his time. So unless you're buying something unique, like the Hope Diamond, there is almost always room for negotiation.
The second most common mistake: lack of preparation. "That can be disastrous," Cohen says. "If you negotiate without preparing properly you can actually make your position worse."
A seller aware that you are guessing or bluffing will be unlikely to give an inch.
Haggling isn't unseemly, seat-of-the-pants horse-trading. It's more a freewheeling form of negotiation.
Ready for action
You prepare in three key steps, by:
Don't assume that the seller shares your priorities. Yours might be price, but the seller's top desire might be a quick sale. Or it might be something that you would never expect.
"People need to think in broader terms and think of negotiation as discovery," says Volkema, author of "The Negotiation Toolkit: How to Get Exactly What You Want in Any Business or Personal Situation."
What you'll need to know to haggle successfully
"I think it's a good idea, when you're making major purchases, to go to several places, shop around not only to make comparisons but to get some confidence," says American University management professor Roger Volkema.
"In the real-estate business," he says, "they say the three most important elements of selling a house are location, location, location. The key to negotiation is information, information, information."

In other news, those who came to the Friday Night Rosary on July 27 will remember a young mother who brought her baby in search of Our Lord's healing. Before the mass and rosary, the community gathered around and everyone prayed along with Irv for Our Lady of America's intercession on behalf of this very fragile child. Almost 200 people were gathered around this little baby and his family.
Well, we received a report just last week that this same little baby who was brought to Sylvan Springs for a healing back on July 27 due to a hole in his 8 week old heart is now doing fine. The doctors determined the hole was no longer there (through no efforts on their part). Although they had no real answer as to how this could happen, they determined that the little boy should go home with his young mother and grow up to rides bikes and do all the stuff boys do.
I guess the news isn't all bad!
Pray for peace.

The recent papal interregnum and conclave underscored the importance of re-forming, and reforming, the College of Cardinals.
As configured on Feb. 28, 2013 (when Benedict XVI's abdication took effect), the College was a somewhat strange electorate, albeit one that produced a striking result. Almost 20 percent of its members were retired. Only eight cardinal-electors were under 65 (and half of the youngsters were Americans — Cardinals Burke, DiNardo, Dolan and Harvey). Neither the Dean nor Vice-Dean of the College was eligible to vote, the Dean being 85 and the Vice-Dean being 90; yet the 85-year-old Dean presided over the daily General Congregations of cardinals that assessed the state of the world Church before the conclave was enclosed.
There were other curiosities. India had more cardinal-electors than France (5-4) or Great Britain (5-nil, as they'd say in the Barclays Premier League). Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, emeritus major-archbishop of the largest of the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, missed the conclave by two days, having turned 80 on Feb. 26; the retired president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Walter Kasper, got in under the wire, for he turned 85 days after Benedict's abdication took effect.
And while no one imagines that the College of Cardinals should "represent" the world Church the way the U.S. House of Representatives "represents" the population of the United States, it did seem odd that Latin America, where over half the world's Catholics live, sent 19 cardinal-electors into the Sistine Chapel, while Italy, where Catholic practice is not exactly robust these days among 4 percent of the global Catholic population, had 28 electors.
What to do about these anomalies? Some practical suggestions, several drawn from my new book, "Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church" (Basic Books):
1) Eliminate "automatic" red hats for archdioceses where the practice of the faith is moribund. If 7 percent of the local Catholic population is attending Mass on Sunday, as is sadly the case in some ancient European sees, why should the bishop or archbishop of that see be guaranteed membership in the College of Cardinals? Let the bishops in these dead zones show that they can re-evangelize Catholic wastelands; then return the red hat to those locales.
2) Amend the relevant apostolic constitution so that most of the "pontifical councils" in the Roman Curia become in-house research institutes led, not by cardinals, but by qualified priests, religious or laity.
3) Change the custom by which the heads of various Vatican administrative offices — the Government of Vatican City State, the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See — are automatically cardinals: a reform that would also speak to Pope Francis's strictures against clerical careerism.
4) Use the "slots" in the papal electorate made possible by these reforms to reorganize the College geographically and demographically.
I would also consider expanding the College to a maximum of 144 cardinal-electors (a nice biblical number: 12 Tribes x 12 Apostles), while changing the conclave rules so that all cardinals lose their vote on retirement from daily diocesan or curial service, not when they turn 80. There is wisdom in age; but an electorate in which almost one in five voters is a pensioner is not a well-designed electorate.
Neither the Dean nor the Vice-Dean of the College should be a cardinal-without-a-vote; it makes little sense for the man who presides over the cardinals' meetings during a papal interregnum (in which all cardinals participate, irrespective of age), or the man who would fill that leadership role in an emergency, to be someone who will not have the responsibility of casting a ballot. And since the Church cannot count on humility to impel the Dean and Vice-Dean to retire when each loses his vote, the interregnum rules should be changed.
Finally, the cardinal-electors should meet regularly — perhaps once every 18 months, for a global review of the New Evangelization — so that they can get to know each other better, and thus be a more well-informed electorate.
very sound and bold thinking.need of the hour not only to the college of cardinals but also to the grass root.
Not only in France even in south India predominantly more populated by Catholics the churches are deserted… Catholics are pushed to the sectarians and pulled by denominated churches.Fr.A.Thomas.
This is very interesting. Although 'inside baseball' for the lay guy like myself, eliminating "automatic" red hats for archdioceses where the practice of the faith is moribund." WOW! Will the Vatican go for it?
#2 – let "laity" run the Pontifical Councils? WHOA, red flag alert.
As we learn from history, a lot of the promotion of laity is done in anti-Catholic stealth. Take for example the prior US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), where some paid laity directors were pro-abortion anti-Catholicism activists who simultaneously sat on directorships of organizations around the globe that promoted anti-Catholic agendas such as abortion, contraception (often mandatory) and euthanasia. They wrote booklets and produced videos for that USCCB that were designed to lead unsuspecting or unwitting Catholic voters into the satanic den of the American pro-death party of obama. The USCCB's Catholic Relief Services is still mired in controversy over their funding of various anti-life organizations around the world.
Maybe reform is needed, but very strict and transparent oversight is absolutely required. That applies equally to the laity and the new-age priests and bishops who don't like the Holy Catholic Church and would love to get their transformative hands on the Councils and Administrative Offices and red skull caps.

Blake Lively Used "The Rules" to Hook Leonardo DiCaprio?
While Blake Lively has "her own career and millions in the bank," writes the Daily Mail, when it comes to love, she prefers an "old-fashioned" approach.
According to the paper, the "Gossip Girl" star turned to the "cult dating manual 'The Rules' to hook Leonardo DiCaprio."
"Not calling him, making him jealous and acting 'busy,' are just some of the commandments in the bestselling book" that Lively used to win over DiCaprio, reports the outlet.
A so-called "friend" of Lively's claims, "Blake loves [the] dating book 'The Rules' and has been following it to the letter… She knew Leo could have any girl he wanted and she figured she had to stand out from the crowd… She's making him work for it — and he's fallen hard for her."
Now it's time for Gossip Cop to throw the book at the Daily Mail.
Lively did not ensnare DiCaprio nor did she trick him via games.
The two, rather naturally, fell for each other.
A source close to the actress tells Gossip Cop the tabloid's story is a "bunch of lies."
Check out PHOTOS of Blake looking gorgeous at the Teen Choice Awards!

2 votesParanoia is one of the most harmful emotional states that one can have the misfortune of falling into. When you're constantly worried about the possibility that something terrible might happen, and you're constantly looking over your shoulder, it's impossible to find any sort of peace.

We're a team of Maths and English tutors. We specialise in supporting children for the 11+ exam for both grammar and independent schools. We've looked high and low for past papers and published them on this page so you don't need to go searching around.
I'm Adrian Beckett – experienced tutor and founder of Adrian Beckett Tutors.
You want a tutor who:
has a track record of helping students pass independent and grammar school exams
is trustworthy. All our tutors are CRB checked.
has plenty of experience tutoring the 11+
Grammar School Exam 11+ Past Papers
These exams are normally very challenging. They include many topics never seen at school including: algebra, reverse fraction, volume, rotational symmetry and more
Independent School 11+ Past Papers
These exams test what children would be expected to to have learnt at primary school. They are a normally a fair assessment of children's ability and test children's problem solving skills. We recommend you concentrate more on problem solving than on answering specific question types. Look at intuitive ways of answering questions and not using algebra and procedural mathematics.
Here are the tests for the bigger schools, where you might be hoping to get a place or/and a scholarship.
St Olaves, Orpington. Level 4/5 work from National Curriculum and problem solving skills.
Dulwich College, Dulwich. Level 4/5 work with some topics not expected at primary school including addition/subtraction of fractions with different denominators, decimal division
Alleyn's School, Dulwich. A difficult 11+ past paper with some topics less likely to be taught at primary level: addition/subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers and venn diagrams
North London Girl's Consortium Group 1: Francis Holland (Clarence Gate), Francis Holland (Graham Terrace), Heathfield School, Notting Hill and Ealing High School, Queen's College, St. Albans High School, St. Helen's High School, South Hampstead High School, The Royal School, Hampstead. These are easier than North London Girl's Consortium 2. The 11+ questions are quite similar so you can do a fair bit of question targeting.
North London Girl's Consortium Group 2: Channing School, City of London School for Girls, More House, North London Collegiate School, Northwood College, Queen's Gate School, St. James Independent School, The Godolphin and Latymer School. These are difficult 11+ papers and I use them to prepare my students for these and other schools. They don't get much harder than these.
Emmanuel School, Battersea Rise. The 11+ past paper starts off gently and continues to be of reasonable difficulty until you get to question 30. Don't worry if you find the last 3 questions from 30 to 32 tricky. I'll be honest it took me a little longer than usual to find the answers. In fact, a boy I (- Adrian) tutored last year who received a scholarship for Dulwich College also stumbled. Again, I'd recommend not using algebra but to look at the problems more intuitively.
Alleyn's School, Dulwich. A cross between a grammar school and independent school exam. Multiple choice and problem solving questions to be answered
Westminster School, Westminster. I believe you can purchase a 13+ past paper from the school, so there might be the possibility to purchase an 11+ past paper too.

Niza Yanay - the ideology of hatred: the psychic power of discourse
"The Ideology of Hatred": An interview with Niza Yanay - "Once we understand how hatred operates as an apparatus of power relations, and particularly how the discourse of hatred is motivated and mobilised in national conflicts, serious questions about misrecognition, veiled desires and symptomatic expressions arise. These questions have, to a large extent, been left unaddressed in studies of hatred between groups in conflict." [more inside]

Nice weather for protests.
June has been a good month for political upheaval and mass protest. Peru (update), China, and Iran were discussed here previously. But how many of the following were you aware of: Canada, Thailand, Honduras, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Pakistan, and India? The latter four reflect a quite serious electricity shortage throughout the Indian subcontinent, during a record-breaking heat wave that has caused over 100 deaths. But don't worry, not everyone is dealing with life-threatening problems. In Israel 30,000 turned out to protest a parking lot. Meanwhile, Indymedia continues to cover all the bourgeois first-world protests you've never really wanted to know about.

Lukewarm Reactions to Favored Obama Veep Candidate
Veepstakes speculation is hot again, and the name on everybody's lips is Virginia governor Tim Kaine.
Veepstakes speculation is hot again, and the name on everybody's lips is Virginia governor Tim Kaine. Kaine isn't new on Barack Obama's list of potential running mates, but his stock has never been this high. And with the Olympics, which would overshadow a veep announcement, approaching and the Democratic convention looming at the end of August, a decision might not be far off. And so the pros and cons of an Obama-Kaine ticket are being closely examined.
• Michael D. Shear and Shailagh Murray write that "Kaine's staff is providing the background information necessary to allow the campaign to search for potential political land mines." Kaine would "satisfy many considerations Obama has recently laid out" in an interview with Tom Brokaw: outside-the-Beltway credentials, independent thought, and help in an important swing state. But Kaine, with "no foreign-policy background, and as a first-term governor...may add to voters' concerns about Obama's experience." [WP]
• Marc Ambinder says Kaine, as well as another veep short lister, Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius, are "governing choices, not campaign choices." They won't generate much enthusiasm and won't shine in debates, but they're "solid," "centrist-in-style," "Washington outsiders," and "know how to balance budgets and deal with Republicans." [Atlantic]
• Ben Smith and Amie Parnes write that Kaine's supporters claim he could "serve as ambassador" to "four key groups: Virginians, Catholics, working-class white voters, and Hispanics" (he speaks fluent Spanish). But his "lack of foreign-policy and Washington experience" are an "obvious stumbling block." [Politico]
• Ed Morrissey thinks Kaine's most important asset is that he "puts Virginia into play for the Democrats, who need to turn a significant red state blue — and Virginia is probably the most likely to switch." But does he have the "substance it would take to bolster Obama," or would the Obama campaign appreciate the fact that Obama wouldn't be "overshadowed by [his] running mate"? [Hot Air]
• Tom Bevan contends Kaine's lack of foreign-policy experience (or much experience at all) and his unfamiliarity to people outside of Virginia "could potentially be offset if he could deliver Virginia. That's a very big 'if,' of course." [VP Watch/RealClearPolitics]
• Chuck Todd and friends wonder if Kaine would really make much of a difference in Virginia, "given that Mark Warner and Jim Webb are also campaigning for him and given that Kaine's geographic strength in the state is fairly similar to Obama's." But they also speculate the buzz about Kaine could be the Obama campaign giving "Dem special-interest groupies" one last chance to object to Kaine before making it official. [First Read/MSNBC]
• Nate Silver also thinks Kaine "may not be of much help to Obama in Virginia." He's not particularly popular, getting about 50 percent favorability numbers, and "does not have any one signature, standout accomplishment as governor.…The home-state V.P. bounce is small enough to begin with," so with Kaine "it may be nonexistent." But Kaine "comes across as very warm. Empathetic. Normal guy. Not politician-y." And, frankly, he "has below-average looks." This could all help offset the perception that Obama is "aloof and arrogant — or messianic, in the right's favorite phrasing." [FiveThirtyEight]
• Mike Allen notes that Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Tim Kaine, and Kaine's wife, Anne Holton, are all Harvard Law grads. [Playbook/Politico]
• Adam Nagourney, meanwhile, finds "mounting evidence that Mr. Obama's interest in Mrs. Clinton for [a running mate] has faded considerably, if, in fact, she ever really was a strong contender to be on the ticket with him." Clinton hasn't been asked for documents, and now herself feels there is little chance she'll be chosen. [NYT]
• Marty Peretz breathes a sigh of relief and says Obama would have to "lie awake trying to figure out what tricks Hillary and Bill would play upon him, and no sane
presidential nominee would ever do that." [Spine/New Republic] —Dan Amira

A living donor can be anyone—a parent, family member or friend. A donor has to meet certain health standards and have a donor evaluation. Based on these results, the pediatric liver transplant surgeon and team will decide if a donor is a good match for your child.
A person must clearly express his interest to be a living donor and complete a donor evaluation. If he is a match and there are no other problems or issues, the living donor surgery will be scheduled. The entire process can take up to 6 months.
The donor's surgery will take place at Emory Transplant Center. During the donor's surgery, surgeons will take a lobe or part of the liver from the living donor to replace your child's unhealthy (diseased) liver.
The liver is made up of lobes—the right lobe makes up about 60 percent of the liver's volume and the left lobe makes up about 40 percent. The liver transplant doctor will decide which lobe your child will need. The donor's surgery may take 3 to 8 hours.
Once the donor liver is ready, your child's liver transplant surgery will take place. Surgery may take 4 to 12 hours. Patients typically can go home 7 to 14 days after the transplant surgery.

But I've yet to to see any SAP system outsourced that actually saved the customer money; far from it, they usually end up paying much more for a service that they have little control over.
As for "everything to be mobile, because that's the way that the users wanted it"; what utter tosh. Yes there are some valid reasons for some things to be mobile, but certainly not everything. Most of the examples they push forward are based around marketing type apps, which are OK for marketing drones, but sod all use to an FD or credit controller trying to work out which deadbeat customers still haven't paid their bills.
"The CIO ends up being responsible for a lot of things he can't control." And one guaranteed way of doing that is to buy into the kool-aid that SAP wants you to swallow; that everything they do is wonderful and you just have to follow their lead for everything to be perfect.
As for HP, their services have become increasingly poor over the past few years; I am going to have to spend the rest of the year picking the bones out of god awful cockup that they are responsible for, so don't tell me that they are in any way capable of offering satisfactory advice.
""As a user, I don't want to know any of that background."; absolutely true. But someone at your company had better bloody well know and understand about that stuff otherwise you are going to end up being completely screwed over, possibly even to the point where your business goes down the pan.

Few buzzwords are more passé in tech circles these days than the Internet of Things. As corporate giants and fledgling start-ups alike have taken notice of this major opportunity, we've been seemingly inundated of late on strategies to cash in on this emerging trillion-dollar trend.
And even though hearing about it may get old, it's beyond dispute that the Internet of Things isn't just some flash in the pan. It's the real deal, and investors should be paying attention to it and strategizing ways to tap into its growth. And in that vein, search giant Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) recently made a major move in its IoT landgrab.
Google makes Nest open source; surprise, surprise
When Google acquired smart thermostat start-up Nest Labs for over $3.2 billion earlier this year, many interpreted the move as Google's entry point into the broader Internet of Things phenomena, a call that now appears spot on. In a blog post on the company's corporate blog, Nest co-founder and head of engineering Matt Rogers recently introduced Nest's new Nest Developer Program, which opens Nest's leading smarthome platform to third-party developers. Take a look.
The 30,000 foot view here is that Nest will establish a common API that developers can use to connect their software or hardware into the broader ecosystem in order to deliver streamlined experiences for users in the home. The blog post enumerates a number of use-cases, one of which is with the popular Jawbone wearable. Thanks to Nests new open IoT platform, a users' Jawbone UP24 band can sense what time a user wakes up based on their increases in motion, which can trigger the Nest thermostat to adjust a users' home temperature to their preferred settings. Other partners Nest mentions in the blog post include smart lightbulb company LIFX, Mercedes-Benz, and Whirlpool with many more expected soon.
Serious money on the line
For both Google and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) there's a significant financial imperative to establish their already-dominant mobile ecosystems around the Internet of Things, and that's just what we're seeing from Google with this move. Similarly, Apple unveiled its HomeKit software at its Worldwide Developers Conference several weeks back with nearly the same intention.
It's still the early innings for the Internet of Things, but both Apple and Google know full well that the IoT is poised to become a key driver of innovation and growth for decades to come. Moreover, the companies that can position themselves as the consumer hubs for third-party applications will dominate this market. With their dominant mobile ecosystems already in place, Apple and Google enjoy pole position as the front-runners most likely to dominate the IoT consumer application market.
From an investors' perspective, it doesn't take an overly active imagination to envision the kind of growth market dominance this emerging field could lead to for Apple and Google. In Google's case, think of the tremendous data advantages and display advertising targeting that could arise from the reams of data that consumers generate from their homes.
Likewise, Apple implementing an App Store-like revenue structure, in which Apple receives 30% of gross revenue from digital content sales, could also prove a boon as the smart home is likely to usher in a proliferation of new apps for consumers to purchase. So while the Internet of Things remains in its nascent stages, it's nice to see Apple and Google making big bets on this budding tech growth engine as we saw once again today.
How to cash in on tech's other big-ticket growth market
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

HARRISONBURG — A Fulks Run woman arrested last month in connection with a dozen home break-ins now has additional charges and a co-defendant, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office.
April Deeds Wallace, 24, is now charged with 10 felony counts of breaking and entering, eight felony counts of grand larceny, seven felony counts of larceny with the intent to sell, six felony counts of conspiracy to commit grand larceny and two felony counts of attempted breaking and entering.
Deeds Wallace was previously arrested on Feb. 16 and charged with three felony counts of breaking and entering, three felony counts of grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of property damage.
Her sister, Beth Ann Deeds, 20, of Fulks Run, is charged with six felony counts of breaking and entering, six felony counts of conspiracy to commit grand larceny, five felony counts of grand larceny, five felony counts of larceny with the intent to sell and two felony counts of attempted breaking and entering.
Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson said 15 break-ins were reported in the county between the end of January and mid-February.
The crimes have been scattered, with break-ins reported on North Mountain Road near Broadway, Turleytown Road in Singers Glen, Rawley Pike near Hinton, and Flint Avenue and Erickson Avenue near Harrisonburg, and Wengers Mill Road in Linville.
In most cases, the thief or thieves made away with cash, jewelry, medications and electronics.
"They targeted residences that they believed to be unoccupied at the time, and proceeded to steal any and all items of value that they so desired," said Hutcheson. "These items were then either sold for a profit or retained for their own personal use, with a complete disregard for the people they had taken them from. Some of the stolen items included family heirlooms that will likely never be recovered."
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Crime Solvers anonymously at 574-5050, or the sheriff's office at 564-3800.

I started this job in 1999. Since that time, the one name I have heard over and over is Bob McConnell.
Bob McConnell has worked tirelessly with Natural Tunnel State Park and the Daniel Boone Wilderness Road Trail Association. Over the years, he has worked countless hours to bring the history and story of Daniel Boone to the public. He was instrumental in the building of the Blockhouse at Natural Tunnel State Park. This is a replica of a 1700's blockhouse which helps visitors touch, smell, and feel what life was like on the Wilderness Road Trail.
Blockhouse at Natural Tunnel State Park
Below, Bob McConnell shows off the upcoming project the Daniel Boone Wilderness Road Trail Interpretive Center in Duffeld, VA.

When I saw the article "Unsung Heroes: Bob McConnell has established 'a living legacy'" about Bob McConnell a smile immediately came to my face. For all the work he has done for us here at Virginia State Parks and in Southwest Virginia as a whole, he certainly deserves to be recognized. If it weren't for volunteers like Bob McConnell, Virginia State Parks would not be complete.

The season finale of "Bates Motel" is only two weeks away and things are getting more intense for Norman, his mother and the other characters. Things this season are definitely interesting, especially seeing how different Norman's character is. He is much darker, angrier and complex. So what is going to happen on "Bates Motel" season 2, episode 9, which airs next Sunday? On April 21, Carter Matt revealed some spoilers for the episode titled "The Box."
Spoiler TV posted the synopsis for "Bates Motel" season 2, episode 9, which reveals that Norma is desperate to connect with her son. Right now connecting with Norman is more important to ever as he is becoming more unraveled by the day. "The Box" will also have Dylan contemplate whether he should risk his life in order to save a loved one. Also, Romero is going to use a former colleague to figure out Norman's involvement in a crime.
From the synopsis for "Bates Motel" season 2, episode 9, it sounds like all of the characters will reach a point that can change their course of their lives. Hollywood Hills posted a sneak peek of the upcoming episode and it shows Norman being kidnapped, evidence of a crime being found in Norman's belongings and Norma telling Dylan that it has to end and he has to be the one to do it.
The most intense part of the sneak peek shows Norman being held in a dungeon-type room or basement. His face is seen through an open slot in a brick wall and he looks sweaty and panicked. He is screaming and looks terrified.
What do you think is going to happen on "Bates Motel" season 2, episode 9? What is it that Dylan has to do and will Norma be able to save her youngest son? The episode "The Box" will air on A&E on April 28.

On old-school television critic who's enjoying his Winter Olympics viewing experience
Eric Deggans | Feb. 23, 2010 8:01 a.m.
I should be complaining about NBC's decision to tape delay Winter Olympics events in prime time, even though the network's canny packaging of the Vancouver games has resulted in more than half of all Americans watching the games on one of the network's outlets.
I should be upset that NBC aired the U.S.-vs.-Canada hockey matchup on cable channel MSNBC Sunday instead of the big stage of the broadcast network, despite the notion that an hours-long game would probably unfold better on a cable channel than in the run-and-gun format of the prime-time broadcasts.
And I should be complaining about jingoism among the NBC types, especially the folks on the Today show, who seemingly have never met a touching story about a U.S. athlete that they can't spend long, uncomfortable minutes dissecting in thick sweaters and snow gear.
But it's tough to write that stuff because, to be honest, I'm really enjoying NBC's Winter Olympics coverage.
In part, I admit, it's because I'm not a big enough fan to follow events online and know the result of many sports I'm watching in prime time. So some results are surprise and even those I've known in advance have been a thrill to actually witness.
What we've learned from this year's Olympics is that the tape-delay issues matter less than victories by American athletes for boosting ratings. The inspired performances of Apolo Ohno, Lindsay Vonn, Bode Miller and the U.S. hockey team have done more to boost NBC's viewership – pulling in wide swaths of casual viewers similarly untethered to of-the-moment results information – than the lack of live action may have repelled hardcore fans.
Doesn't hurt that the network has also convened some of the best announcers in the game for this moment – from Al Michaels returning to help cover another Winter Olympics 30 years after his legendary work calling the "Miracle on Ice" victory of a scrappy U.S. team against Russia in 1980, to ace analysts such as Scott Hamilton and the ever-professional Bob Costas anchoring it all.
It also feels like something else is at work here; a shift in the way we see such TV events.
Because in a media world increasingly divided into to smaller and tinier niches, the Olympics represents one of the last big stages left – a rareified place where all of the nation's attention is focused at once. These days, some buddies may have caught a few moments of the last NBA game or overheard the guys on Pardon the Interruption lampooning Tiger Woods latest mea culpa.
But at a time when everyone seems jacked into their own individualized media experience, it is hard to underestimate the new novelty of a sporting event which captures so much of today's television landscape for so long.
I've almost forgotten what it was like to hear everyone around the office dissecting the same shared prime-time moment from the night before – whether it was U.S. figure skater Evan Lysacek sending the Russians into days of grousing by snatching victory with a well-executed program or Ohno piling up the medals to become the most-decorated Winter Olympian of all time.
No doubt, there have been missteps. My friend and fellow media critic David Zurawik of the Baltimore Sun has written a chilling column on how NBC has failed to fully explore the circumstances of how Georgian luger Nodar Kumarishtavili was killed during a practice run.
And other critics have taken shots at news anchors such as Brian Williams trying to deliver reports on war in Afghanistan and other pressing matters from the sweeping vistas of the Olympic compounds.
Still, this year's Winter Olympics has remained a unique showcase for athletic achievement and communal TV viewing that doesn't come around all that often. Can you blame an old school TV critic for being seduced by a shrinking medium suddenly turned massive once again?

They looked a bit creepy, sitting there on a table at Fiesta Parade Floats the week before the 2014 Rose Parade, those baby heads with holes for eyes. But coming down the parade route, well, they were absolutely hilarious and darn cute. Eight Fiesta employees donned the huge floral costume heads, and jumped joyfully in a cradle or bounced in a pram, producing belly laughs from the crowd.
The float, "First Steps to Total Health," was sponsored by Kaiser Permanente and designed by Raul Rodriguez. It won the Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy for Most Beautiful Non-Commercial Float. This was the health organization's ninth float and ninth win.
The centerpiece on the float was a 26-foot-tall stork with flapping wings and turning head to keep an eye on his charges. Mr. Stork, as he was called, had just delivered three little ones and was heading off with the pram to deliver the rest. The message from Kaiser Permanente was "we are committed to giving every baby the healthiest start possible. We believe that one of the most important decisions a mother can make to promote the health of her family is to choose to breastfeed."
Riders on the deck were two KP babies, Nadia Ruiz Gonzales, 29, who is one of the youngest and fastest Latinas to complete 100 marathons, and Precious Malumfashi, 26, who weighed 1 lb. 4 oz. at birth and spent the first three months of her life in KP's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Also riding were Malumfashi's neonatal physician, Michael Tabak, MD; Myra Bastidas, MD, also a KP baby; Sean Hashmi, MD, a KP primary care physician.
"First Steps to Total Health" wasn't the first time the folks at Fiesta decked out employees with gigantic floral heads. ARCO's 1998 float, "Saturday Matinee," which depicted eight or so kids screaming their heads off as a slimy green monster emerged from a 3-D screen at the movies.
Flowering on the float included more than 25,000 stems of green Jade, yellow Gold Strike and hot pink Topaz roses with florescent orange and hot pink gerberas, accented with clusters of green apples, hypericum, Cattleya and cymbidium orchids, purple cabbage, floral designs of purple liatris and green bells of Ireland.
A spinning mobile featured celestial shapes in cream and yellow strawflowers, purple sinuate statice and red ilex berries; toys included red and purple carnations, green button mums, yellow strawflower petals, orange lentils and lunaria petals; and the stroller was woven with ironed cornhusk and coconut flakes. Mr. Stork's feathers were crisp white coconut flakes, dendrobium florets and shiny black seaweed, with legs and beak of individually applied yellow spilt peas. His delivery hat was created in blue sinuate statice petals.

Third -Year Review of Faculty in Tenure-Acquiring Positions
adapted from policies in the College of Arts and Sciences)
April 2014
The purpose of this Operating Policy/Procedure is to establish the basis for and the procedures used for the third-year review of pre-tenure faculty in the College of Human Sciences.
This policy will be reviewed in the spring of even numbered years by the CoHS Faculty Council.
When the College of Human Sciences employs a tenure-track faculty member, it is with the expectation that the individual will become tenured and serve the university in a long and productive career. The departmental tenured faculty will assist in determining whether or not the criteria for tenure are met prior to its award. Thus, it is to the advantage of both the tenure-track faculty member and the department to see that timely evaluation is made of a tenure-track faculty member's performance beyond the annual faculty review and that deficiencies identified be made known to the untenured faculty member in time for correction prior to the expiration of the probationary period.
In the tenure-track faculty member's sixth long semester, a comprehensive evaluation of his/her performance will be undertaken (the third-year review). This evaluation is to be considered an opportunity to advise the tenure-track faculty member whether it is felt that satisfactory progress is or is not being made toward tenure. If progress is deemed to be satisfactory at this time, there is, nevertheless, no guarantee of ultimate tenure. If progress is deemed to be unsatisfactory in the third-year review and the tenure-track faculty member has been given an opportunity to respond to the unsatisfactory performance rating, then there are two alternatives available to the department: (a) a determination will be made to give the tenure-track faculty member a terminal contract, or (b) the department chairperson will provide, in writing, comments from the faculty and, if deemed appropriate by the Chairperson and dean, specific requirements setting forth the conditions for continued employment and deadlines for completing the conditions.
The results of the third-year review, including the tally of ballots and written comments, will be included in the faculty member's electronic file maintained by the Dean's Office. The department should also retain the material until the tenure process is complete as a part of the tenure-track faculty member's file. The College of Human Sciences Promotion and Tenure Committee may later request copies of these materials to aid in its deliberations at the time of tenure review. The third-year review committee report and the chairperson summary report will be included in the faculty member's subsequent tenure dossier.
During any year of a tenure-acquiring appointment, a faculty member may be judged to be making unsatisfactory progress toward tenure on the basis of the annual reports or other sources of information. In any year, a terminal contract or notice of non-reappointment may be issued to an untenured faculty member by the department chairperson in conformity with deadlines stated in OP 32.02. The university is not required to give a non-tenured faculty member a reason for a decision of non-reappointment.
Specific procedures for Third-Year Reviews are presented in a flowchart and are detailed in the remainder of this document.
