St. Joseph's Catholic College teaches Maths to all students from Year 7 to Year 11, as well as providing A-levels in Maths and Further Maths and Level 2 courses.
The primary aim of the Maths department is to develop the mathematical knowledge, skills, concepts and strategies of every pupil to the maximum possible level, including providing the pupils with the mathematics they need for every day life and for other school subjects, and to provide where appropriate, a foundation for further study. Pupils will be made aware of methods of investigation and given an insight into the development of mathematics and the power of mathematics as a language. This is an essential development in the analysis and communication of information and ideas.
More generally, the department aims to contribute to the development of the pupils' personal qualities of curiosity, cooperation, self-expression, self-evaluation and aesthetic appreciation. Pupils should be able to work independently and cooperatively, and to experience the enjoyment and satisfaction which results from achieving success in mathematics.
The College follows the National Curriculum, which splits KS3 and KS4 Maths into Number, Algebra, Geometry and Statistics.
Course Outlines
Years 7 to 9
Maths is taught as part of a spiralling curriculum, where students will revisit and extend topics throughout the year. They study a variety of modules covering, number, algebra, shape, space & measures and data handling. All students will be taught through a variety of learning styles within these various modules, supporting the use of mental and written methods of calculation. Using and applying mathematics will form part of each unit and students will be encouraged to also learn how to use a calculator and ICT appropriately. Students will be set across four tutor groups. Regular assessments of pupil's progress will take place and allow for easy movement between sets.
Years 10 and 11
GCSE Maths has been revised for first teaching in September 2010 with first certification in June 2012. This provides exciting opportunities to not only study traditional mathematical topics like number, algebra, geometry and statistics, but also how to use these in everyday life.
GCSE Mathematics – what's in it for me?
This brand new Maths GCSE gives you great opportunities, not only to study traditional mathematical topics like number, algebra, geometry and statistics, but also how to use these in your everyday life.The qualification has also been designed to develop the broader mathematical skills of problem solving, reasoning and generalising.
You'll study and develop your knowledge of:
- Solving complex calculations by breaking down a problem into simpler steps
- Applying mathematical knowledge and understanding to solve everyday problems
- Thinking and communicating mathematically – precisely, logically and creatively
- Using ratio and proportion, fractions, decimals and percentages
- Using different formulae and expressions, setting up and solving equations and working with graphs
- Interpreting scales and maps, working with shapes, finding areas and volumes, using trigonometry to solve problems and vectors
- Analysing data and graphs, correlation, calculating and interpreting different statistical measures and the study of chance
- Using spreadsheets and databases to present your work.
How could it help with my future?
Your Maths GCSE is highly valuable in the workplace, opening up opportunities for many different career paths such as architecture, banking and finance, business consultancy, engineering, game design, health and medicine, IT and computer science, psychology, science, teaching and many more.
This Maths course also encourages the development of characteristics valued by employers, such as the ability to:
- Speculate and make decisions
- Work effectively with others
- Explain and prove your ideas
- Communicate clearly to all levels of business personnel
- Interpret, reflect on, and solve problems and issues
How will my work be assessed?
The end of course assessment takes the form of two final exams; one calculator paper and one non-calculator paper. At Foundation level these are 1 hour 30 minute papers and at Higher level these are 1 hour 45 minute papers. Those taking the Higher paper get grades from A* to G and those taking Foundation get C to G.

Hi there,
After careful discussion in another forum post which can be found here, I'm set on going to school out in California. I'm thinking of a couple of different options and one of them is to go to Academy of Arts University for a BFA in Computer Animation. Yes, I know there are probably a ton of AAU threads floating around CGTalk, however, I'm asking this question because I want to know what current or recent students/graduates have to say about their experiences, time and education at AAU. So I'm calling ALL to help! Thank you in advance for your time and insight. It's highly appreciated.

A Prison for the Neglected and AbandonedMature
"Get up," Blondie banged his baton on the side of the old man's bed.
A shot of adrenaline surged him upright. His restraints were gone. The needle in his arm that had been delivering his sleep medication had been removed. It looked like it had been removed some time ago. The old man flexed his fingers. Something's different. When he first awoke, he was weak, like his body didn't know itself. But, now the lethargy was gone. There was vitality in his muscles again.
"We need to get you fed before you die from starvation." Blondie couldn't seem to care less. Another one of the men in white wheeled in a chair.
The old man stood up. Yes, something's very different. The old man's legs knew themselves once more. It's as if he hadn't been in a coma at all. He looked at Blondie. "Where are we going?" he wanted to ask, but his words were only mumbling gibberish. Alarmed that the words coming out of his mouth were disjointed with his thoughts, the old man put his hands to his mouth and he grew concerned.
"Shut the fuck up and let's go!" Blondie had the other man in white wheel the chair closer to the old man.
The old man stopped speaking—he had the wisdom to know that by now something was wrong with his speech. He could understand Blondie well enough and his own thoughts were in the same language that Blondie spoke, but for whatever reason the words coming out of his mouth weren't right.
He looked down at the wheeled chair. I don't need that, he thought. So he walked by the chair, looked at Blondie, and walked to the door. "Alright, if you wanna walk, let's go."
The old man followed Blondie down the hall. The other man in white took the wheeled chair out of the room and wheeled off in another direction. Walking down the hall, the old man felt refreshed and strong—quite strong. He was taller than Blondie and solid. He noticed that Blondie walked almost like a slow gallop while twirling his baton. The old man walked upright, with his shoulders naturally pulled back, and his broad chest thrust forward. Blondie looked soft in his back and his arms. That's why he needs a baton.
The old man's room wasn't unique. Down a long corridor, through door after door, he could see other people seated or lying in isolation. Most of them were simply old. Others appeared to be in someway sick or lame. A few seemed to be completely paralyzed.
His sense of rejuvenation and sense of self then gave way—seeds of sorrow grew in his heart, for he knew without knowing anything more that the lives of those around him had been sad ones.

An almost century-old mikveh was unearthed by archeologists this week in the remains of a New Hampshire home.
The ritual bath it was found in a ten-acre outdoor history museum called Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, which preserves a neighborhood dating back to the 1600s, according to the Archeology Institute of America The neighborhood was inhabited and not historically preserved until 1950s, when local citizens prevented urban renewal efforts on the land.
The mikveh was found behind the remains of a 19th century home, which had been demolished in the 1960s. The mikveh probably was built between 1912 and 1923, when the house was inhabited by the Hebrew Ladies Society. In 1923, a synagogue named Temple Israel bought the property.
According to The Sea Coast Onlinee this mikveh is the fourth historical mikveh ever to be excavated in the Northeast.
According to Alex Martin, museum archeologist, the only mention of the mikveh occurs in oral history, and does not exist in any written records.
The mikveh will be available for public viewing until the end of July.
After July, the mikveh will probably be filled in, according to Alix Martin, museum archaeologist, as that is the best way to ensure its preservation.

Most Overrated Actors/Actressesheather
The Contenders: Page 2
She is the cure for insomnia. The reason she hasn't solidified the #1 position in granite here is beyond me. The X-files were rendered unwatchable with this talentless hack. I was glad that she went into relative obscurity for some time but was compelled to gripe when she started taking on a larger role in Hannibal.
The fact that she plays the same monotone character in every appearance would only lead to the conclusion that she is a real-life walking cadaver with zero personality, zero talent, and zero appeal.
She is always complaining about everything. Now she is blaming Hollywood about her wrong decisions about her now irrelevant and finished career.
Blame yourself idiot. Being so arrogant about American Film and T.V. industry and thinking that UK would save your career was so pathetic.
That is what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you.
Dreadful, no one more monotonous... How did she ever get work?
I think she's totally watchable! The Fall was brilliant!V 10 Comments
Lovely and very authentic actress. Wonderful to watch.
Such an exciting and challenge seeking actress and human being. Love her so much
She's such an amazing and wonderful actress that never fails to deliver
She is the definition of bland.V 18 Comments
Dudes! Vote her.. She is not an actress.. Still she gets millions of dollars..
I don't think that Jessica Alba is a bad actress like the media are trying to tell us ( once they spread the word it's like suddenly everybody agrees ). She was awesome good in the T.V. series " Dark angel " but after that people noticed her just for her good looks ( and don't tell me that she's ugly ) and not for her acting skills anymore. She didn't get many chances to play descent movies after that. Now and then there's a good movie and when that happens she gives very good performances. I think she's rather underrated for her acting. People seems only to put her down because it's becoming almost normal after all the media " lies " to do so. The truth is that she's not a bad actress, but one who deserves better roles.
Brutal actress... she NEVER sounds like shes not reading the script when she talks on film. Her emotions are as obviously phony as her... - VADERtheIMPALER
She's just a Beautiful Doll, not for act. Her every action crush down movies.V 20 Comments
Drop dead gorgeous and oozing charisma. Love to watch him. He was amazing in "The Descendants"
Charming and intelligent as all get out. What a cool guy. The most handsome actor that ever was
This actor is richly authentic in every role he has ever taken on. He is believable and understated when that is what is called for. He is a gracious actor who makes his costars shine, as well. I'm so grateful for every movie he has ever entertained us with.
Great actor great in Oceans 11V 45 Comments
Why does the corporate media keep pushing this washed up skank? She was never a good actress and has done nothing professionally or privately worth following. It's like when a talentless kid actress grows up, and refuses to accept the fact that she's a has-been. Can we all save our writing talents and concentrate on actors who actually work, and are talented? The constant pushing of this mediocre D-Lister proves that the corporate controllers of the movie and media industries want young girls to look up to and copy what filth like Lohan does. Let's all end this train-wreck now by ignoring her. Ignore the media accounts, boycott the blogs who talk about her, and boycott the products of any company that sponsors on any T.V. network that airs stories about her. STOP ENCOURAGING MEDIOCRE HACKS!
Oh Lindsay, how the mighty have fallen or rather the how the child idol has fallen. She might have some talent but her career has plummeted sharply off the cliff. I used to love her when I was younger (12-14 years of age), but I then realized that there were people who were so much better. While she is just getting back in the game, she is still overrated right now and some of her acting is not always that great. (E.G. saturday night live). Lindsay, if you want to get back on track, prove to us that you can still act more than just a good movie or two.
I actually think she's a great actress. Not a great personal life but an intelligent thoughtful actress who informs her roles with authenticity and heart.
So much wasted potential. Loved her in Mean Girls. She had the future before his hands and she jettisoned it.V 13 Comments
She Can't Act. She Is A Wannabe Bad Girl She Tries To Get Attention From Copying Lindsay And Britney. She Can't Act She Can't Sing She Can't Dance. She is famous for being famous. She Is copying Britney about how she doesn't about anyone and does whatever she wants like smoking at 18. At least Britney has changed the world with her music.
I see lots of other actors and actresses that are not as famous but way better at acting
Miley is one of the most overrated celebs of the 21s century simply by the fact that she is from that Cyrus familly who is known to have one hit and it's not even a decent one. And last that show of hers that my daughter watches its disgracing the whole Disney franchise.
A media creation. Can't act can't sing. This is Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter for crikey sake. She's crying out for attention because she can't hack it. Take a look at other Disney former stars. Zac Efron, Selena Gomez they rely on talent.V 33 Comments
Even awful Paris Hilton is better actress than Knowles.
Beyonce sucks literally
Beyonce is way too overrated. She should be the first one one this list
Beyonce is pretensious and her horrible personality shows.
Beyond my taste.V 17 Comments
Amazing intelligence informs all the roles he inhabits.
The very best there is. Totally underrated
Not overrated at all, in fact I don't think most great actor surveys put him high enough.
He was really good in a movie called I Am Sam great movie when he had that disability in that movie he was great.V 28 Comments
My child and I regularly burst out laughing while watching the Harry Potter movies simply because of her intensely bad acting. We ended up barely able to watch them anymore because of her. And since, I sometimes see these "star" photographs of her, with comments about her being the epitome of beauty etc. - that's another howler... She is one of the most profoundly ordinary looking girls I have ever seen, there is nothing spectacular or remarkable about her looks at all... So weird...
Does her resume really deserve the hype she gets? Let's be honest people like Hermione and they think Emma is cute. Other than that she can't act and for me personally she comes off as full of it in her interviews.
There is no doubt that Emma Watson is a gorgeous young woman, but I wouldn't say that she's the WORST actress in the world. The Harry Potter movies are good, but she is not the best at acting.
She can do more than " Harry Potter " movies. She was outstanding in movies like " The bling ring " and " Regression ". I think she will have a bright future as an " serious " actress.V 24 Comments
She just plays herself in every movie. - CraZee
Can't stand her. Can't agree more that she is exactly the same in every movie, playing herself. And that face taking over smile of hers is so tired and insincere. In Larry Crowne she was so boring, and banking doe in lack-less and lazy acting on her part. Some one please get her of the screen already. - Pitstop325
People always put her in the "sexy woman" role, but she is ugly as a stick. But side roles, suit her well.
I liked her in Pretty Woman, not a movie I would see more then twice. Saying that I think she is a bit phones and definitely not a sister. She was only happiest stealing a husband.V 116 Comments
Never understood all the hoopla. Her acting is no better than any of my high school students', who are only doing it for some extra credit.
She's an ok actor but doesn't deserve the fame she's got right now.
Needs more serious acting roles. We already know you can be a drug addict, retarded cat, and a bikini clad spy
I'm not done about this bitch. Her 2002 winning was completely ridiculous. Sissy Spacek was snubbed because of this thing called "DIVERSITY". - KarlbarV 28 Comments
Yes you have a really nice body, but one nothing but another member of the cast from twilight who can't act. - LavenderMusic
How are Keanu Reeves, and Johnny Depp worse actors than
A guy who does nothing but take his shirt off?
Taylor Lautner should be number 1 period.
I have no idea why people like him. He plays the worst werewolf in the history of cinema.
Let's just say it together, shall we? 3... 2... 1... Taylor Lautner is now irrelevant.V 11 Comments
So adorable with wonderful heart wrenching performances. Love, love, love her.
Intelligent and warm actress. You can't help but to see her kindness as it always shines through
I wouldn't call her as an overrated actress. After all, a talented actress like her deserves to be on the spotlights.
Nope.V 5 Comments
I find him real and endearing. Absolutely adore him.
Such a capable and authentic actor. One of the best
I love this guy. Always look forwArd to seeing any movie he's in. Great skill.
Nat Wolff is going to rage when he sees Zac Efron on the list. He was too one-dimensional in the 2000s.V 18 Comments
Why do people think she's sexy? She's hideous. Only half decent film she's in was Practical Magic, where she was totally outshone by Sandra Bullock. I walked out of Eyes Wide Shut half way through.
Terribly self conscious actress! The only reason she made it in Hollywood was her marriage to Tom. So many flops. I don't watch movies with her ie Moulin Rouge (even though I think Ewan is great) and Australia. Gosh, it would be painful to have to watch her. Vain, self conscious and definitely not a great actor. Oh and she stuck a fake nose on and got a best supporting actress award. PLEASE!
so overrated the movies that she acted in suck because of her if there was a different actress it might have been better
- ert112233
I remember everyone questioned Nicole Kidman's acting ability when she made Australian and since then she's continued to have flop after flop after flop... She just a really awful actress. She's holds onto being famous by being turning up at every awards ceremony and being a total fame whore.V 25 Comments
His acting range is quite limited, but as long as mindless action flicks exist, his career will be keep going.
He's the best actor I've ever seen. I absolutely love and adore him
Not a good actor in any way, but if he sticks to tough guys roles so long as it isn't mindless Fast and Furious #? I can sometimes make it a guilty pleasure such as with Pitch Black and Riddick.
Wooden actor, sexy, but still untalented. - LukeTargaryenV 11 Comments
Things you never have to ask : Geez I wonder if Johnny Depp is going to play a weird/quirky character in this movie?
Yes Johnny bloody Depp might be good at playing a wacky, almost psychopathic character, but that's ALL he is good at. It seriously annoys me how everyone thinks he's the greatest thing on earth because he's really, really not. Nor is he even that good-looking... just gonna throw that out there.
You obviously have not seen his older work. And regarding his Tim Burton roles... He is one of the BEST character actors EVER! You are just simply wrong and have not watched enough movies to judge him as an actor
I wouldn't call jonny the worst actor today, but sadly I believe he'll get the next oscar he's nominated for. Just like the most overrated actor we fuss over today denzel.
Boring and always the same.V 29 Comments
This actress can do it all! Drama, action, comedy, you name it. Her acting is almost natural ( it looks like she don't act ), like she " IS " the person in real life whatever character she's portraying in the movie. This actress doesn't belong on this list. She's one of the best actresses of all time.
Good. Probably the hottest female actress on the planet. Love her most of her movies. My favorite movie of her's is 'The Cider House Rules'. She does take risks. She was good in 'Monster' and deserved her Oscar win. Very talented and also very smart. She recently admitted to breaking up with a guy solely because the only reason why she was with him was because she found him attractive. Very honest and sincere. Like her a lot.
Fabulous actress whose looks are as spellbinding as her delivery.
Shes great I love her shes hotV 9 Comments
People act as if he is the toughest guy in the world.
But no worries, he would be remembered for all his jokes and backward politics rather than his talent (? ) in acting.
He only has Walker Texas Ranger, that is all.
Did anybody really believe he was a great actor to begin with?
The man will never learn how to act EVER!
Possibly, the baddest joke the entertainment industry has ever made.V 4 Comments
Probably the best actor of his generation. And he takes risks. I'm always AMAZED at the risky roles he takes too. The comedies parts he's tried even though he's not really good at least he tries. Guy has NO FEAR. True actor.
Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actors of all time. What the hell is he doing on this list. Don't believe me? Watch The GodfatherP Pt. 2, Goodfellas, Heat, Silver Linings Playbook, Casino, Frankenstein (even though it wasnt the greatest movie, De Niro was amazing like in all of his movies)
This list has no credibility whatsoever
An actor with a career of more than hundred of movies ( many of them are cult-classics ) and still there are people who are saying that this actor is overrated? With such an impressive career it's normal that some movies were less good than others but to call him an overrated actor is really ridiculous. People who are thinking that this exeptional actor is overrated or even a bad actor (? ) have really bad judging capacities or not very sane in their minds if you ask me. This actor really doen't belong here! Robert De Niro on this list just doesn't feel right. Get him out of this list!
I would not say he was overrated at all. He may just be the most versatile actor to have ever lived or even the best.V 25 Comments

Self love. Some people look all their life for the door to self love, some people have no struggle mastering the art of it. Because it truly is a form of art. It is not common to just wake up one day and decide that today is the day you start loving yourself, but it's not impossible. It can take a lifetime or a month. A second or a decade. But the road to self love is brighter with each step.
I planted my feet like the roots of an ancient tree and stood my ground. I refused to be run over by some tired ass show girls and I never ever wanted to feel like less of a being because someone did not like me.
Three months later I start a new school. I meet maybe 85 new people and brought a handful of individuals of my past with me. A boy from my old class and I get placed in the same homeroom and even though I had been his friends for maybe 3 years, I could sense something was different after the summer. When I finally got a moment alone with him we talk about the usual, summer break and so on. I bring up the fact that I sense a change in him, the way he carries himself perhaps, tell him that he seems more upright and has more "pep in his step". I vaguely remember him telling me about a book he had read that summer that had helped him stop caring what other people thought of him and he had become more confident. I was so happy for him. I saw how a bit of confidence could change the entire image of a person.
It's been two years since my little revelation, two years since I realized I'm too good of a person to ever be ashamed of how I look or how other people perceive me. I look up to people so transgressive and unapologetic that I feel right at home with ugly side glances and hushed whispers. Remember, unless they're paying your bills pay them b*tches no mind!
Every morning I chose myself, and I will never apologize for it.

The Cookie Lady
Sunny California, oh yes, been raining for the past four days. I stand at the window looking out over the parking lot of 113 W. 3rd st.
I wish it was quitting time, but, it's only 11:45.. The brown bag sat on my desk, a sandwich, an orange, juice. I was bored, I wanted to get out and sit in the park.
The office made me feel stifled, tall buildings stretched up into the air, made me dizzy, I needed the outside, open space, fresh air, well, as fresh as it could be for the big city.
I stood there, wishing, hoping..
She walked out from under the window. She had a long green coat, a little green hat on her head and she pushed what looked like a food cart. As she shuffled along, people passed her by, rushed and annoyed with the rain.
She stopped all of a sudden and looked up at the window. I swear, she looked right at me, one hand went into the air and she beckoned me to come down..
One rainy day in California, I spent the afternoon with a lady that sold cookies. We sat in the park, she told me many stories of her life in the city, her loves, her hurts, her sadness, her happiness, then we, each of us, retreated to our own little world. We balanced an umbrella between us and just enjoyed the rain. Around us, the sound of midday traffic in the big city hubbed and buzzed.
That day, nibbling on cookies with the Cookie Lady, I realized, being in the city, didn't make you a part of it, I knew that day, I loved my rural life.

Memoirs of a Wartime Teenager
Author's Note: Okay, so this was meant to be the opening page of a book I'm trying to write, but I never got very far with it. Help please?!
Name: Ella Martin.
Age: 15.
Hometown: North London.
Occupation: Wartime teenager.
I started writing this journal in the hope that someone, someday will read it and learn about all the awful things that happened during my time. I plan to write about everything, from gas masks that are too tight to the bone-chilling fear when the air raid siren sounds to the surprisingly slimming ration diet and everything else in between. I will not leave anything out. It's important that these things are recorded for the future to see. Without things like that, how can you know firsthand about the past? That's what my grandma said to me. This is for you. I want you to write in it. Write about whatever you want. I know how you like to write about things.
When I was younger, I thought that war was something for only the brave and the courageous, that only the people who actually did any of the fighting was involved, that it didn't include the people back home. I know better now. War includes everyone and everything in their lives, even the food we eat and the clothes we wear and the amount of money we spend and the lessons we have in school. Even banal things like what to eat for breakfast and when you're going to take the dog for a walk is controlled by war. You wouldn't think it, but that's what happens. It doesn't take much for things to become all-consuming and before you know it your whole life is turned upside down.
This is my story, from the moment I heard my very first air raid siren at the tender age of 14 years old, to the moment I will always remember as the exact second, and minute, and hour that I ran out into the street with my friends and family to celebrate the end of this horrid beast calling itself the Second World War.

Chapter 5
There rebels, that is why they are on the run. I never would have guessed that, explains a lot, "They started a rebellion." I ask.
"Yes, very dangerous individuals, people like that need to be taken care of, captured. So no one can be hurt by them again." Kazimir says.
"I don't understand they were Brotherhood, why would they rebel?" I ask.
"Well, apparently they weren't happy with all of Eden's citizens having food, living free of a mask, sleeping at night knowing they have a job, and making a living for themselves. Some people can't be pleased." Kazimir says with a smirk.
They way he puts it, they do sound dangerous. Why would anyone rebel against a world free of masks, a world where no one ever has to worry about starving? Yet at the same time, I can't help but wonder if there is something he is not telling me. Nothing makes sense anymore, for the first time in my life I yearn for the simplicity of the Wastes.
"I can tell you are confused, not sure what to think about it all, that is understandable." Kazimir speaks as if he is able to read my very thoughts. Kazimir gets up and makes his way to the door. "Please use my quarters as your own, dinner will be in a few hours." He says, "Perhaps then we can talk, oh and be sure to use the shower, I am sure someone of the Wastes will find it divine." He leaves me with only one thought, what the heck is a shower.
The room is like nothing I have ever seen before, it is clean and neat. Not spot of dirt or dust. It is strange to think that people in this world actually live like this. I mean it is as if they bombs never touched them. As if they rest of the world went up into flames as they watched from the safety of their couches. My body returns to me, reaching for the water I hold it for a second before bringing it to my lips. The water is clear, not spec in it, cold and cool. Kashmir was right; I have never tasted anything like this before. This is not the recycled swill I have been drinking for most of my life. To think people use to take water for granted a commodity as readily available as air. I have to laugh, even clean air is hard to come by nowadays.
Pouring myself another glass I begin to take in the rest of the room. Everything is new, nothing bears the slightest sign of use, and it's as if the room was created moments earlier, just for me. Must be nice to live in this world, a world where every day is not a fight for survival. Sitting there I can't help but wonder why anyone would rebel against this. Most people back in Haven would kill just to live like this for a day, not even Hyde lives like this, sure he has more connivance then most people, but still his mansion carries the signs of the Wastes. He still wears a mask outside of the filtered safety of his estate. I wonder how much clean water would be worth to him; I think for a moment about bringing some back, I decide to keep this form myself.
The door slides open and a boy not much older than fourteen enters the room, his skin has a reddish tint to it and hair black as night falls down his neck. "Sir, I was told by Commander Kazimir to bring you some clothes and run a shower for you." His voice is soft and weak, as if terrified. What could this child have to fear, not I could he.
"Oh, it is ok, you don't have to." I say. "No I do, Commander Kazimir made it clear that I am to do as ordered." The boy continues into the room placing the clothing on the bed. The bed, soft with fresh sheets, I can't help but hope I get to sleep in it.
"The shower is this way sir." I follow him as he leads me into another room, this one I know as a bathroom, but again this is nothing compared back to the communal bathhouse back in Haven, which is basically a few holes in the ground. With the press of a few buttons water begins to fall from the faucet. I am in shock at the waste of water which is apparent in my face.
"It is ok sir; we have plenty of water for all of your needs."
Sticking out my hand I allow the water to fall upon it, warm to the touch. They have heated water too; I was born to the wrong parents.
"I have no clued what I am supposed to do here?" I say.
The boy hides a laugh behind his hand, "Sir, you use it to clean yourself, there is soap and shampoo over there."
"So I just get in?" I ask.
"Yes!" He is thoroughly amused by this, but hides his smile once again behind his hand.
Removing my gown I enter the shower, at first the warmth of the water make me step back, I don't instead I allow the fresh clean water the rain down upon my body. Placing my hands upon the wall before me I tilt my head downward and allow the water to wash down my back. I stand a moment longer before I begin to wash. Turning my attention to the soap and shampoo I call out, "hey you!"
The boy stands in the doorway ensuring not to enter, "Sir?"
"You mentioned something about soap and shampoo." I say.
He hesitates before answering, "The shampoo is used to wash your hair, and soap for your body."
It takes a few trail runs but I manage to figure out how to use the soap and shampoo. I don't think I have been this clean since the day I was born. We have cleansing powder back in Haven but all that really does it remove the smell. I have to take a moment and smell myself; I no longer smell of filth, I believe this is the smell of what the elders call fruit. I take the towel the boy left for me and wrap in around myself. The clothing which is neatly folded on the bed seems is a basic black jumpsuit bearing the Brotherhood insignia on the right chest, I guess I can't expect anything fancy being a military ship and all. I have to take a moment and smell myself, I no longer smell of filth, but now of something unknown to me.
"Sir, do you need me to explain that to you as well?" He says with a laugh, "Sorry Sir, I didn't mean to speak out of turn."
"It's ok; you don't have to be afraid of me." I say.
"Still sir, I should have not spoken out of place." He looks at the ground.
"What is your name?" I ask.
"Servant Dyami Motega" He says softly, from his tone of voice it is clear that people do not ask his name very often.
Dyami stares at the ground not daring to make eye contact with me. It is clear that there is some sort of rank or class structure, he clearly sees me as higher than him, "Well, Dy." He cuts me off.
"Most people wish I would sir." A joke, this is a clear sign the boy trusts me.
I have to laugh, "You're pretty funny."
For the first time since he has entered Dyami makes eye contact with me. It is not hard to make out the confusion behind the brown in his eyes. "Look you don't have to treat me like them, I am a Waster."
"Commander Kazimir informed me that I am to treat him as I would any other member of the Soldier Class."
"Well, I am no Soldier, so you can treat me as any other friend." I say.
"I don't have any friend's sir!" He says almost embarrassed to bring it up.
I extend my hand, "Well now you do."
After I get dressed Dyami brings me to the dining room, once again I am amazed. The room is brightly lit, with the ceiling made entirely of window. I can see the night sky above; the stars shine down upon us as if they were putting on a private show just for me. In the center of the room is a long table made of thick and polished wood. Clearly it is only the finest of things for members of the Brotherhood. Commander Kazimir sits at the head of the table; he is joined by several other member of the Brotherhood.
"Sir!" Dyami pulls out a chair for me; we decided that we would keep up the act in front of everyone else.
"Thank you boy!" This is the response Dyami told me I was to give, remain polite but superior.
"You look good, all clean and looking sharp." Kazimir says, "I hope you are finding our hospitality adequate."
"I would have been happy with a hard cot." I say.
All laugh; I get the feeling that they are amused by the Waster before them, as if I am some sort of animal here for their amusement. As if the laughter was a cue servants start to bring food into the room. Each servant is dressed in neat white uniforms with matching gloves and shoes. They carry plates topped with silver covers and present each meal individually to the party attendees. When it is my turn to receive my meal the smell alone makes my mouth water. This is no Waste dog.
"It's called a steak; it comes from a cow, no mutations." Kazimir says.
I can't help myself I dive in, tearing off pieces of meat and shoving them in my mouth almost to the point that I don't even taste the wonderful presences of the food. It almost melts in my mouth, unlike Waste dog which has a rotten and bitter flavor to it, this is almost sweet. Taking a moment to breath I notice that everyone in the room is staring at me, all sit quietly fork and knife in hand, mouths open. Apparently hands are not the approved method of eating within the Brotherhood.
Kazimir slowly and calmly places his fork and knife down, he then takes a piece of cloth and wipes his mouth. He sits for a moment before grabbing his steak with both hands and ripping a large chuck of meat off with his mouth.
"When in the Wastes, do as the Wasters do." He says with a laugh.
Everyone once else follows suit and in moments everyone is hands deep into their meal, food is flying every ware. It is glorious.
"More wine for this feeding frenzy." Kazimir says with a wave of his hand.
Wine, I have had alcohol before, but not like this. Back in Haven we have moonshine, which is made from grain and burns as it goes down and if you drink too much as it come back up. This is bitter and sweet at the same time and bears a similar smell the soap from before. Before long dinner is over and all are stuffed, I have never experienced such a full feeling in my life, I honestly don't think I will need to eat again for a month. As if rehearsed the party stands and excuse them. Besides the few servants who are cleaning the mess that was left upon the table. There is only myself and Kazimir left in the dining room.
"Know down to business." Kazimir says, "The matter of our little rebel friends, why did they seek you out?
"They wanted me to be there guide, before that I never met them." I say.
Kazimir takes a long sip from his wine glass, "Well that is good, for a moment I thought you might have been there contact out here in the Wastes."
"I'm a Wastelander sir, I look out for myself and that is it, I don't have any interest in rebellions." I say.
That remarks seems to put a smile on Kazimir face, "Then we can be friends."
An uneasy feeling comes over me at the thought of being friends with Kazimir; something still doesn't sit right with me about him. He seems friendly and caring but I can tell there is something brewing behind those cold grey eyes of his, as if he is always planning, trying to remain one step ahead of everyone.
"What do you think of the Brotherhood?" He asks.
"I think they live lush lavish lives of waste, while the people of the Wastes starve to death." I realize after it came out that I probably should have not said that.
Kazimir sits in silence for a moment, "I agree." He says, "That is why, on behalf of the Brotherhood I wish to bring civilization to these lands."
What does the brotherhood want in the Wastes, we have nothing to offer. There has to be something, a reason, as I said before, I don't trust Kazimir, his wheels are always spinning.
Kazimir lets out a sigh before speaking, "I have a proposal for you, you said our friends were using you as a guide, I assume to take them to Haven." He rubs his hands together slowly before continuing, "Help me find them and I will ensure that you are the one that gets recognized as the hero that brings life to this dead land." He places his elbows on the table waiting for my response.
I think of the only response I can muster, "Can I sleep on it?"
"Of course, it is an important choice for you; the entire future of the Wastes now rests in your hands." Kazimir says, "Tomorrow then."
With that Kazimir signals to Dyami to take me back to my quarters, my quarters I mean Kazimir quarters. Nothing on this ship is mine; nothing of the Brotherhoods has anything to do with me and now Kazimir wants me to decide on the fate of every single person in Haven. This is not my choice to make, I shouldn't be here, I'm just a Wastelander, and I fight for my survival no one else's.

Georgia's House Republicans today joined together to oppose spending $150 billion of borrowed money, preferring Congress to instead focus on long term economic growth measures. The measure passed 385-35, with one "present," and now goes to the Senate, where senators have vowed to tack on even more spending.
Georgia's Republican House members, known as the G7, said the following:
Rep. Paul Broun (10th District):
"Frankly, I don't think that sending out a rebate check is going to do enough to stimulate the economy," said Broun. "We've got to shift our focus towards creating jobs. A real stimulus plan has to be geared towards small businesses as they serve as the economic engine of our country. The Economic Growth Act of 2008,' which I am a cosponsor of, incorporates principles that have historically proven to stimulate the economy and it is a better legislative solution to address the threat of a slowing economy than the proposal that passed the House today."
Rep. Nathan Deal: (9th District)
"I was disappointed in the lack of legislative process this bill took to reach the floor. I felt this legislative package cherry picked which tax payers deserved a tax rebate and which tax payers do not receive a rebate. I support tax relief for all Americans who pay taxes in the form of a tax cut. In addition, the ninth district has more than 100,000 seniors who are on a fixed income and under this bill were not eligible for a tax rebate."
Rep. Phil Gingrey (11th District):
"Stimulating the economy requires more than just tax rebates, over $30 billion of which in this case would go to people who did not even pay taxes last year. We need to encourage business investment and job creation if we're serious about staving off a recession. If there's one thing we should have learned in Congress, it's that ramming through legislation without debate, hearings, or public input creates nothing but bad policy."
Rep. Jack Kingston (1st District):
"How many times have you heard a politician say, 'If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.' This 'stimulus' does nothing but give fish. If we want to create jobs, we need investment tax credits. This package gets an 'A+' for politics and an 'F' for economics and jobs."
Rep. John Linder ( 7th District):
"The solution to this problem will not be realized by throwing money into an economy that is insecure. It is our responsibility to provide consumers with economic policies that are permanent. To truly achieve the goal of stabilizing our economy, the House could have adopted a bill that makes the Bush tax cuts and the business depreciation schedule permanent. Instead, they give Americans a temporary fix to a critical problem."
Rep. Tom Price (6th District):
"One-time rebates and short-term business subsidies are not an adequate and significant stimulus. Economic uncertainty for American families will persist unless we address long-term economic growth. A meaningful stimulus will encourage lasting investment and job creation by permanently decreasing taxes and ending foolish regulations that burden our economy."
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (3rd District):
"This legislation promises tax rebates, but it's not a tax rebate when we're borrowing money from China to write checks to ourselves. Sending out checks in a couple of months isn't going to expand the economy, it's just going to expand the deficit. This is simply a national credit card binge, and as many Americans are discovering these days, the bill eventually comes due and the results aren't pretty. We are putting the future of our country in the hands of foreigners who buy our debt. It's scary, it's reckless and it's got to stop."

Welcome! I am delighted to continue my role as principal of St. Mary Parish School. I enjoy working with the faculty, staff, students, and families of this Exemplary parish school community. Together, we will maintain our status as one of the finest Catholic schools in the archdiocese by continuing to provide academic excellence enhanced with faith, compassion, and encouragement.
I earned my undergraduate teaching degree in Broad Field Social Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. After graduation, I was proud to instruct social studies at various archdiocesan schools. During this time, I began my pursuit of a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and Director of Curriculum and Instruction from Cardinal Stritch University. Over the past 16 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to lead three Catholic elementary schools and one Catholic high school. I am thrilled to utilize those positive experiences, along with my knowledge and compassion for education, to St. Mary Parish School.
The importance of family can never be underestimated. My greatest gift is the time I spend with my husband David and children, Nicholas, 27, and Phillip, 22. Although our children are grown, we still make time to travel and get together in Door County.

This southeast Wisconsin area has been home for me, growing up here, graduating from St. Matthias grade school, Milwaukee Hamilton High School, and then U.W.-Whitewater with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Since then it has been my blessing to teach in the Milwaukee Archdiocese for over thirty-five years now with almost all of them here at St. Mary Parish School. With experience teaching 5th, 4th, 1st, and 2nd Grade students, one of the things that I find most enjoyable about the profession is learning with a new classroom of students each school year!
When my schoolwork is done, I value time spent with family and friends. Reading non-fiction, cooking, gardening, and just puttering around the house are activities I also enjoy and when I'm out and about I especially like shopping for "just the right gift" for someone!

Mrs. Joy Wallschlaeger
Grade 6 Homeroom & Middle School Social Studies Teacher
I began my career at St Mary Parish School 41 years ago and love every minute of it. My students are so enthusiastic about learning and realize how important education is for their future. I love all of their different personalities.
The education students receive at St Mary's is exceptional. I speak from personal experience as both of my children graduated from St. Mary's and did extremely well in Catholic High Schools and at their Universities. Both of my children said they got the spark for Social Studies from my class which makes me feel really good. Amy is a Social Studies teacher at St Matthias Catholic School in West Allis and Todd is a graduate student in Theology at St. Leo's and works for a church but his undergraduate degree is in Social Studies and Religious Studies at Carroll University.
We do a lot of traveling as I like to share my experiences with my students and get them interested in the wonderful world that we live in. I love the Fine Arts and took many years of piano lessons and choir in all of my school years. We have participated in plays throughout my family's lives. My husband and I took professional dance lessons at different dance studio's including Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Mequon and competed in ballroom dance competitions. My husband and I taught adult classes in ballroom at Anita's Dance Studio in Muskego and I was a receptionist there for many years. Amy taught children dance at Anita's and Todd danced in the Midwest Connections Dance Company and competed in dance competitions in California, Florida and Hawaii.
We love to travel especially to places that Amy and I teach about. There is nothing more exciting than teaching from first hand experience. Of course, Disney World is one of my favorites because I love to see the children there and there is so much to learn. My dream is to get to Africa and spend time there with the children and poor people and help them in whatever way I am able to help. I'd love to bring encouragement and God into the people's lives and bring them hope for a better future.
