When Justin Welby was named the new Archbishop of Canterbury I suggested to a colleague that we should profile the three or four people left in public life who didn't go to Eton. We smirked a bit because she, like me, went to the kind of school Alastair Campbell once infelicitously referred to as a "bog standard comprehensive". Mine, in south London, had some good, inspirational teachers, some weak ones and a huge racial and social mix, and I think it prepared me better for the world than the seven or eight public schoolboys I could now easily hit if I hurled a stick from my desk.
I suppose the smirk should have died on my face this week when a report by the Sutton Trust revealed that nearly 80 per cent of the great and the good — that is, people whose birthdays get mentioned in the Times — went to independent, selective or grammar schools. Only 10 per cent of the nation's "top people" went to state schools, most of them apparently sports or pop stars, plus the occasional actor (hellooo, Daniel Craig, and well done for wresting the odd role from Cumberbatch, West, Lewis et al).
Guess how many comp kids have made it to the front ranks of the military, how many oiky archbishops there have been? None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
I can't say that my life possibilities feel drastically narrowed because the careers adviser never suggested I try for the Synod or the fast-track to Sandhurst. Indeed, I can't imagine anything worse than the kind of remorseless will to power that is drilled into that 80 per cent in their dorms and classics classes. Except, perhaps, from being around people who think like that.
Comprehensive kids tend to take their time, explore possibilities, find their own way. Even the tough schools are, in a phrase that is no less true for being a cliché, "character-forming".
One fashion industry insider suggests that state-school kids are better represented in the creative industries because they learn to think imaginatively, rather than run on pre-destined rails towards a rigid goal. It's no accident that the entrepreneur behind London's most vibrant restaurant group, Russell Norman, went to a comp, or that London's most lively cultural quarter, the Southbank Centre, is run by Jude Kelly, who attended Liverpool's Quarry Bank Comprehensive.
They are proof that the alumni of comprehensive schools can achieve just as much as those of private schools. Now we just need a few more of them.
Sir Alan Sugar, 65
Businessman and TV star
Joseph Priestley Secondary School
The Apprentice host left his north London school, where he suffered anti-Semitic bullying, at 16 to sell car aerials and electrical equipment from his car, before founding the Amstrad empire.
Stella McCartney, 41
Fashion designer
Thomas Peacocke School, East Sussex
Father Sir Paul McCartney sent her to a comp to give her a "normal" education (she joked he was being "tight") but caused a stir when she said she'd send her own children private.
Keira Knightley, 27
Teddington School
Diagnosed with dyslexia aged six but still seen as a success at her local comp, where she first acquired an acting agent.
Hot Chip, The MacCabees, The xx, Burial, Four Tet
Elliott School (aka The Ark Academy)
There must be something in the water of this Putney comp to turn out so many groovers and shakers.
Zadie Smith, 37
Hampstead School
The great chronicler of democratic, demotic, meritocratic, melting-pot London was educated in and inspired by north London's teenage milieu.
Ed Miliband, 47
Labour Party leader
Haverstock Hill School
Said he found his first days at Haverstock scary and tough, but it doesn't seem to have done him any harm. Part of a small group of state-educated front-bench politicians that includes Yvette Cooper, William Hague, Danny Alexander and, er, Ed's brother David.
Robert Peston, 52
BBC business editor
Highgate Wood School
Has set up an organisation to encourage inspirational visits to state schools and is tipped as a soon or future director-general of the corporation.
Kate Moss, 38
Riddlesdown Collegiate
La Moss clearly did all right at her old school in Purley: it's doing all right too and is now an academy.
Daniel Craig, 44
Hilbre High School
Naturally, to find an actor tough enough to play Bond (who went to Eton and Fettes) you'd look among the alumni of a Wirral comp.
Gordon Ramsay, 46
Chef/businessman/TV personality
Stratford-upon-Avon High School
The chef, who went to several comps in a peripatetic upbringing, says his schooling and lack of university education are irrelevant: "It's about doing something you are really passionate about."
Bradley Wiggins, 32
Tour de France-winning cyclist
St Augustine's CE School, Kilburn
The sideburned wonder clearly wasn't smoking behind the bikesheds of his north London alma mater. Not was Victoria Pendleton at her Letchworth comp.
Florence Knight, 24
Rodborough School, Milford
The queen of Polpo's kitchen didn't become a rising star of the capital's food scene at some snooty boarding school: nor did the entrepreneur behind Polpo and its siblings, Russell Norman, an old boy of Heathlands comprehensive in Hounslow.

By Rance Leroy
French Tribune: It was in 2001 that France has come up with a law as per which full-face covering Islamic veil got banned in the public. The ban became a matter of controversy and again, a new issue has taken place on another proposal.
It has been proposed that the wearing of all the religious symbols whether its Jewish skullcaps or Muslim culture's headscarves, all should be banned. But the universities heads have disliked the idea.
A report has been prepared by the France's High Council for Integration (HCI). As per the same, it has been suggested that the ban that is active in school children should be extended to universities as well.
But the proposal is expected to be opposed by high education institutions of the country. Jean-Loup Salzmann, Head of the Conference of University Presidents (CPU) in France, has already termed the idea to be negative and have dismissed the same.
"Students are adults and you cannot limit their freedoms. We think this is a subject that requires calm, discussion and certainly not an approach tinted with Islamophobia like that of the HCI", said Salzmann.
Abdallah Zekri, President of the Observatory against Islamophobia, believes that the HCI's proposal is illegal under French rule.

Sermon Illustrations
Dr. Charles R. Swindoll, excerpted from the inaugural address at Dallas Theological Seminary, October 27, 1994, and quoted in Presidential Inauguration, a special edition of DTS News, December 1994, p. 2
I recall the comment of the late Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse, pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, who said, "If I had only three years to serve the Lord, I would spend two of them studying and preparing."
Dallas Seminary will not be insensitive to the economic struggles and time demands of our students. But this does not mean we will lose the reputation of being a place where the diligent study of the Scriptures occurs.
As C. S. Lewis declared:
If all the world were Christian it might not matter if all the world were uneducated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. To be ignorant and simple now&md;not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground&md;would be to throw down our weapons, and betray our uneducated brethren who have no defense but us against intellectual attacks of the heathen.
Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. The cool intellect must work not only against cool intellect on the other side, but against muddy heathen mysticisms which deny intellect altogether. Most of all, perhaps, we need intimate knowledge of the past. The learned life is then, for some, a duty.

Why I am Running
As introduced in the Homepage, I am running to represent Vermont as an Independent candidate for the U.S. Senate in the upcoming November 2010 General Election because our system has lost much of its sense of fair play so that life is needlessly difficult and less satisfying for most Americans, including Vermonters, than it has to be. We need to restore fairness and reasonableness in the way we share our wealth, provide health care, use energy and treat the environment, address poverty in the developing world, and aim for an enlightened security by strengthening our moral foundation. Stepping up to these challenges would benefit all Vermonters but has not been accomplished because those in power have not advocated for them with sufficient resolve or fresh perspective.
I have a deep and uncompromising passion to have a positive impact on people's lives, and commitment, energy, focus, and knowledge to wage the right tough fights. I have been in public service for thirteen years as an active duty officer in the U.S. Navy and currently serve as a Captain in the U.S. Navy Select Reserves. I am a physician with specialization in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases, and an Associate Professor of Medicine and Surgery. I have experience in medical education and drug and vaccine research and development. I completed medical residency at University of Vermont, and practiced Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine in Vermont. Four of my five children received their education in part in Vermont schools. I believe my experience in government service and medicine, from outside the political system, and without political allegiances or debts, provides a unique background and perspective to work to try to regain the essence of the strength of our democracy — fair play.
No nation has positively influenced mankind to the extent the U.S. has in its short history. This is not surprising. Our origins are based on a spirit of adventure, self-reliance, innovativeness, and sharing in the new and wonderful but sometimes hostile land. No wonder the rule of law, decency, fairness, and reasonableness became essential morals and characteristics of the American people. Our founding fathers were so in-tune to a political system grounded on fair play that they included pursuit of happiness as an inalienable right in the Declaration of Independence. What a concept?! But if pursuit of happiness is a right, equal opportunity to pursue happiness must be a right as well.
I believe the United States' strength has been its ability to consider domestic and world issues maturely and morally and to decide on courses of action that are based on principles of fairness and reasonableness. We have succeeded most and been most effective and positive when our decisions were based primarily on principles of morality rather than exclusive self-interest. Thus, we were able to overcome the unreasonableness of the Gilded Age in the early part of the twentieth century with the New Deal; of fascism with the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II; and of racial inequity with incorporation of civil rights for all into American policy.
Not that we have never veered from moral principles. We have erred in domestic policies — including inadequate resolution of race, gender, and economic inequity, and inadequate protection of the environment. We have erred in international policies—including pursuit of inconsistent and sometimes self-serving policies and insufficient sharing of our wealth and capabilities to alleviate poverty and disease. But at the same time, we have corrected our course with respect to civil rights and gender inequity. We have further work to do to consolidate these gains but the election of Barack Obama and near election of Hilary Clinton for President, confirm progress.
I believe, in principle, Democrats have been on the right side of these issues. However, those with political power within the current system, including Democrats, have allowed the flawed system to develop. Whether they agreed with the policies or not, they have accepted loss of a reasonable, fair, and progressive tax system; they have accepted unreasonable and short-sighted energy and environmental policies; and they have accepted insufficient American effort to alleviate poverty and misery in developing countries, conditions that contribute to terrorism and international economic and political instability. Those in power are likely to accept continuation of the status quo or minimal incremental improvements, resulting in significant security and quality of life threats to the U.S.
The election of President Obama has tilted public policy in the right direction. I believe the President supports the transformational changes advocated by this campaign but he is hampered by obstruction on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue. To meaningfully improve the lives of Americans, including Vermonters, and others, we need congressional representation, particularly in the Senate, with passion and commitment to achieving transformational changes in these key issues of the twenty-first century. We have no time to wait any longer.
Our economic system has migrated from one with a balanced distribution of wealth and a strong vibrant middle class to one that is blatantly unfair to the average American, making life easy and often luxurious for a minority of Americans, and unnecessarily difficult for the majority (see Economic policy). It is simply wrong to have a tax system in which wealthy Americans have a lower prorated tax burden than middle-income Americans. The income tax, in combination with social security withholdings, has migrated from being progressive to being almost regressive; tax on capital gains, a major component of income of high- but not middle income Americans, is unconscionably low; and employer-based health insurance is deducted equally irrespective of income. These tax policies do not make sense, are indecent, and are un-American.
No wonder there are insufficient funds for necessary government services, national debt has soared, and property taxes are excessive. There simply are not enough funds to go around unless revenue is increased by increasing taxes on those who can afford to pay them. I am running because I want to do everything I can to try to restore a fair and progressive tax system, akin in spirit to what we had during much of the affluent years of the twentieth century. Some leaders acknowledge this economic inequity yet accept the status quo or incremental changes because of inertia and intellectual justifications. Conversely, I believe with committed leadership, economic inequity can be resolved while maintaining prosperity and the American Dream. I believe the first step is implementation of universal health care insurance (see Health care). But fixing this inequity is not enough. Why shouldn't those who succeed most in our society share more to make it easier for all? Is it reasonable that a corporate executive making millions of dollars per year pays a lower percent of his or her income in taxes than does his or her secretary making $30,000 per year? It doesn't make sense and it is unsettling to know that our leaders have allowed this to happen. We need to restore a fair and progressive income tax, with significantly increased marginal tax rates (highest brackets) for high-income earners (e.g., above $350,000 per year). Additionally, we should equilibrate the regressive social security withholding limit and the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance.
Some leaders acknowledge the ravishes of our energy system on the environment, climate, jobs, and our national wealth and security yet accept the status quo or incremental changes because of inertia and intellectual justifications. Conversely, I believe that with committed leadership, clean energy, green jobs, energy independence and security, and better quality of life are achievable (see Environment and Energy). Why shouldn't the U.S. divest itself of foreign oil dependence in the next twenty years? To achieve this goal, why shouldn't we transform the energy sources of our power plants from carbon fuels to clean renewable solar, wind, geothermal, recycled waste, and other emerging sources? Why shouldn't the U.S. have the most modern, convenient, and safe mass transit systems in the world in every major city? Why shouldn't every building be equipped with alternative energy sources (e.g., solar water heaters)? Why shouldn't federal standards force manufacturers to produce energy-efficient and low carbon-emitting automobiles and appliances, and our tax system forcefully encourage their purchase? Why shouldn't our tax policy forcefully encourage Smart Development and Smart Design to increase energy efficiency and decrease consumption, decrease commuting and traffic, increase expendable income, and improve quality of life? Why shouldn't the U.S. become the world's leader in green energy and grow millions of high-paying skilled jobs to accomplish this goal?
Some leaders acknowledge the scourges of poverty, disease, malnutrition, and illiteracy in developing countries yet accept the status quo or incremental changes because of inertia and intellectual justifications. Conversely, I believe with committed leadership, the cycle of poverty and disease and secondary destabilization and breeding grounds for terrorism can be broken (see Poverty in the developing world). To achieve this goal, for example, why shouldn't the U.S. commit to leading a program to help developing countries eliminate preventable diseases with vaccinations routinely available in the developed world? Why shouldn't the U.S. commit to leading a program to help developing countries achieve transformational increases in access to clean water, septic systems, and electricity?
I have no illusions about the difficulty of achieving transformational changes but promise to try. I also have no illusions about the difficulty of this task or the measure of the Senator I am running against or his legacy. I have deep respect for my opponent who is a good man and has served our state commendably since the 1970s. But elections in Vermont are not coronations and a spirited debate of ideas, especially about issues of fairness which are too often marginalized, and about new twenty-first century solutions, will benefit all Vermonters. Vermont deserves and should expect leadership and forceful advocacy from its congressional delegation to ensure that prosperity and fairness truly coexist as key public policy objectives. As the saying goes, we can do good by doing good.
I again respectfully request that you consider voting for me in the upcoming General Election (Nov 2, 2010). All good movements require team work, effort, and resources. Therefore, please consider helping our fairness campaign with a Financial contribution, by Volunteering, and also by deliberating about these issues in your own life.

Angela from The Artists' House shows you how to use turned-edge appliqué to create a pinwheel pillow design. You can easily take what you learn today and use the same technique to create a variety of images and scenes; check out Angela's blog for examples. This pillow is available for sale in Angela's Etsy shop.
I remember a time not too long ago, where I found myself admiring things made with appliqué. And while it seemed intimidating at the time, I now realize it's really not that hard. The best part is that once you learn how to appliqué, you will want to add appliqué to everything, including pillows.
Today we're going to make a simple, turned-edge, machine appliqué pillow with a pinwheel design.
Personally, I always do a turned-edge appliqué unless I'm using felt (since felt doesn't fray when washed). I feel both the quality and the overall look are much better.
Let's begin.
First, let's gather materials. You'll need:
- Pinwheel Template PDF
- Heat Resistant Template Plastic or Reynolds Freezer Paper
- Scissors
- Iron & Ironing Board
- Heavy Ironing Starch
- Water-Soluble Basting Glue
- Tiny Cup or Dish
- Small Paint Brush or Q-tips
- Sewing Machine and Thread
- Washable Fabric Pen or Pencil
- Button
- Fabric (amounts mentioned below)
- 20" x 20" pillow insert
Next, let's cut fabric:
For the front of the pillow, I used two contrasting fabrics to start. Cut a 20.5 " x 15.5″ piece for the top and a 20.5″ x 5.5″ piece for the bottom. Sew these together and press the seam allowance open.
For the back of the pillow, you have a few options: the back could be solid, it could be made up of the two different color panels like the front, or it could be pieced. Regardless of which way you prefer, you need to end up with two pieces: one being 20.5″ x 17.5″ in size, and one being 20.5″ x 9.5″ in size.
I did a pieced back, because I love using up scraps. The exact dimensions for those pieces were 5" x 20.5" (light blue top), 10" x 20.5" (brown), 3.5" x 20.5 (light blue bottom), and 20.5" x 9.5" (coral). I sewed the first three pieces together, to make a larger piece that was 20.5" x 17.5" in size, and then I used the coral 20.5" x 9.5" piece for the bottom.
For the back of the pillow, iron and sew a double-fold on the ends of the two pieces, about 3/4″ wide.
Overlap the two pieces for the back to make one piece that is 20.5″ x 20.5″ in size. Check to make sure the two pieces, when overlapped, are matching up with the front pillow pieces overlapping line. Pin and set aside.
Now, let's move onto the appliqué:
Using the Pinwheel Template PDF, trace a single pinwheel piece and a pinwheel handle onto some heat resistant template plastic and cut them out. Label the back of the pinwheel image with a "B," so that all of your appliqué images are created facing the right direction.
Note: Instead of using heat resistant template plastic and water-soluble basting glue for turned-edge machine appliqué, you can also use freezer paper. A tutorial for that is available here.
On the front of the pinwheel template, put a line of water-soluble basting glue along the edge. While the glue is still wet, place it down on the fabric, leaving at least a 3/8″ border around the entire template. Quickly press with an iron to glue the template to the fabric.
Cut around the template, leaving 3/8″ fabric border around the entire template piece. Spray some heavy starch into a small cup and use a paintbrush to paint a small amount of heavy starch onto the 3/8″ border of fabric surrounding the template plastic. Let dry. When dry, use the edge of a hot iron to iron the 3/8″ inch fabric border around the template plastic. Start with the corners first, and then work on the straight edges, and then the curve. The pictures below show the order in which I completed these steps.
Note: If you don't like the shape created, just reapply starch, let dry, and try again. It might take you a little bit of practice before you learn to use the corner of the iron correctly.
Once the entire border is neatly ironed around the template plastic, and the shape is neat and to your liking, pull the template plastic out, and use the iron one more time to iron down the edges.
Repeat the above-mentioned steps until you have four pinwheel pieces, and one handle piece.
Note: If the template gets too gunky with glue, just wash the template piece with water to remove the excess glue.
Use basting glue or pins to fasten the appliqué pieces to the fabric.
Cut the pinwheel template down the center, on the line that is provided. Use a washable fabric pencil to mark the line onto your fabric, to signify where you want to sew/embroider. Sew around each piece, sewing very close to the edge. When finished, sew or embroider the lines down the center of the pinwheel as well.
Sew on your button.
Put the pillow back and the pillow front, right sides together. Sew around all four sides.
Put in a 20×20 pillow insert, and you're all finished.
Now go ahead and appliqué your way to a better day.

It's official: President Obama is angry over the prostitution scandal that has plagued the Secret Service for two weeks.
"It's not just about protecting an individual and his family, it's about protecting the presidency, a vital function in our democracy," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.
Obama had said in Colombia on April 15 that he would be angry if allegations were proven true -- and now Secret Service employees are being dismissed for bringing prostitutes to hotel rooms just two days before a presidential visit.
"Of course he is angry," Carney said, calling the incident "inappropriate behavior, behavior that is not acceptable for people who work for the U.S. government or representing the American people abroad."
Carney also referred to comments Obama himself made yesterday to talk show host Jimmy Fallon, saying the actions of a few "knuckleheads" should not detract from the great work the Secret Service does overall.
"The Secret Service, these guys are incredible," Obama said. "They protect me, they protect our girls,"
Carney said today that "99 percent of the men and women who work for the Secret Service are absolute professionals."
Eight Secret Service employees are leaving the agency over the incident that preceded the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia; a ninth is appealing his planned dismissal.
Three others have been cleared of serious wrongdoing, but face disciplinary action.
The military is disciplining up to 12 of its members over the event.
As we report elsewhere, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said officials will leave "no stone unturned" as they continue to investigate the incident.

After cheering up Darunia, you get the Goron Bracelets and can enter Dodongo's Cavern.
Get the Map
Use a bomb flower to blow up the brown piece of wall straight ahead. Go through.
Walk toward the center platform with the giant skull on it. Jump onto the nearby moving platform, then go from the Beamos platform to the platform on the left. Use a bomb flower on the brown piece of wall to get the map.
Get a Gold Skulltula
After getting the map, use the moving platforms to go to the other side of the room. Take a bomb flower and run past the Beamos. Use the bomb flower to break the brown piece of wall. Go through.
Baby dodongos will come out of the ground and attack you. Once you attack them, they start flashing and will explode, so stay away.
Lure a baby dodongo to the brown wall on the right and hit it to make it explode and break down the wall. In the room, kill the keese and gold skulltula with your slingshot, then do a jump attack to get the token.
Get the Compass
Back in the room with the baby dodongos, pull the nearest statue onto the blue switch to open the door. Go through. Kill the keese and continue on to the next room.
Two lizalfos will attack you. When one comes near, swing at it with your sword once. It will jump over you and swing its sword, so do a backflip to avoid it. Then you can do a jump attack to hit the Lizalfos. When they are gone, go to the next room.
If you don't have the Hylian Shield equipped, put it on now. Otherwise, if you get hit by fire, your Deku Shield will be burned and you will need to get another one.
If you need some Deku Sticks, use a bomb flower on the bombable wall that you pass by. There is a Business Scrub inside who will sell you some Deku Sticks.
To kill the dodongos in here, go in front of it until it stops and is about to breathe fire at you. Run around and hit its tail, then back up to avoid the flame on its tail that it will swing at you. Keep attacking the dodongo this way until it starts flashing, then run away from it to avoid the explosion.
Kill the remaining dodongos and light a deku stick, then use it to light the three unlit torches in this room along the right wall, then go through the door that unlocks.
In the next room, step on the switch before walking too far forward. Once you step on it, jump down and go through the door that you just unlocked.
To get the compass, use a bomb on the bombable piece of wall. The armos statue will come to life if you touch it or bomb it, and you have to kill it to leave the room. You can stun it with a Deku Nut and hit it with your sword, or you can try to get a bomb to explode on it.
Get a Gold Skulltula
Back in the last room, put a bomb flower down in the middle of the gap between the bomb flowers. This will make all of the bombs explode and make the stairs come down to your level. Go up and kill the gold skulltula on the webs up above.
Get the Bomb Bag
In the next room, equip the Hylian Shield if you have not yet done so. Use the slingshot to kill the fire keese, then walk around the platform, making sure not to touch any armos, until you see the ladder up to the top of the platform. There is an armos statue in front of it that doesn't come to life, so either pull it out of the way or just walk behind it and climb up. Step on the switch and go through the door that unlocked.
Run straight across the bridge, jump across the gap in the middle, and go through the door at the other end.
There are blade traps down below, so either climb down the ladder or jump into the gap beyond the ladder to avoid getting hurt. Approach the next passage to make another blade trap go past, then run to the block in the wall while the blade trap is slowly returning to its starting point. Pull the block out of the wall. Pick up the recovery heart behind it if you wish. Climb onto the block and use it to climb onto the platform. Open the chest to get 20 rupees, then use the bomb flower to break down the bombable wall at the top of the ladder. It's possible to make the bomb land on the ledge, but it might be easier to just wait to throw the bomb such that it will explode in front of the wall. Climb up to the path that you opened and go through.
Use the slingshot on the eye switch straight ahead, then jump across and go through the arch, kill the dodongos, and follow the path to the door.
Kill the lizalfos in here like you did before. If you are low on hearts, go to the end of the long ledge to gather some. After the lizalfos are gone, go through the door that unlocked.
Shoot the eye switch above the arch, then jump to the next platform and turn left to shoot the next eye switch. Carefully jump to the far platform and go to the next room.
This is a room that you have been to before, with the blade traps on the lower level. Be sure not to jump down to there. Instead, jump straight across and open the chest to get the Bomb Bag. Keep in mind that these bombs seem to explode sooner than bomb flowers. Exit the room through the door to the left of the chest.
Create a Shortcut
Step on the switch up ahead to make one of the moving platforms rise up to this level, giving you a shortcut.
Get a Deku Shield
If you lost your Deku Shield, you can get another by bombing the wall on the other end of this bridge.
Get a Gold Skulltula
To access the next area of the dungeon, drop a bomb down each of the two gaps in the bridge. If you do it correctly, the two eyes of the dodongo skull will turn red and the mouth will open. Drop down one of the gaps in the bridge to land in an eye, then hop down to the beamos platform and go through the door in the Dodongo mouth.
Equip the Hylian Shield. Kill the fire keese with the slingshot, then drop down, climb the ledge to the right and go through.
Kill the fire keese in here, then climb up the blocks to get onto the high ledge. Jump off of the other end, then turn and face the wall that you jumped from. Push the block off of the edge, then move the block to to the bombable wall. Bomb it and go through to get a gold skulltula, then return to the last room.
Reach the Dungeon Boss
Kill the fire keese, then go up the blocks to get onto that ledge again. Jump off at the end. If you have an empty bottle, break the two pots to reveal a fairy in one of them. Use the bottle near it to catch it, then unequip the bottle so that you don't accidentally use it. Go through the door here.
Push the block off of the edge, kill the fire keese, then pull the block away from the wall and push it into the hole in the middle of the room. Go through the door that unlocks.
Drop a bomb onto the dark spot in the middle of the floor, then go past it and open the chest to get more bombs. Drop into the hole that breaks open when the bomb explodes.
King Dodongo
Walk close to King Dodongo's face. When it opens its mouth, throw a bomb into it. When the bomb explodes, hit King Dodongo's face with your sword. When King Dodongo jumps up, walk onto the small slope down into the lava in the center. King Dodongo will roll away. Follow him. When he turns to face you, repeat the process of throwing a bomb, hitting it with the sword, then getting out of the way and following it. After you defeat King Dodongo, get the heart container and step into the light.
Your next destination is Zora's River, and there are some upgrades that you can pick up on the way.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. From Writeacher's lesson on "How to search" this part should help:

NOTE: if you would like her entire lesson, please ask!
yes i would please. this is my first time beening in this class. thanks
Here is the entire lesson:
It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do – conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.
At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:
... and one to help you judge whether a particular website's information is worth your time:
Happy searching.

Family Business Advice from NASCAR
We recently interviewed Brian France, CEO of NASCAR, on our radio program Family Business Doctor. He shared some of the reasons he thinks his family business has stood the test of time and prospered:
Preparation. Preparation is obviously important to the success of the NASCAR race teams each weekend. France observed that it is important for family businesses to have crystal-clear goals and expectations for family members working in the business, supported by clear management roles. It is important to prepare family members over a long period of time to build the tools necessary for them to be effective leaders and managers.
Accountability. France said that family businesses create "opportunities for family members, but family members have to produce in order to take advantage of those opportunities." The NASCAR family believes in accountability, which can be measured rather than gauged subjectively.
Principles vs. personality. Following in the footsteps of legends is never easy. Recognizing that he might not possess the flamboyant personality or magnetic management style of his predecessors, France decided to focus his leadership on the key values of the business family vs. his own individual management style. Living and managing by a set of core tenets allows France to lead with principles instead of personality.

text: On the first day of testimony in the Stop-and-Frisk trial, lead plaintiff David Floyd took the stand and testified that he'd been humiliated by the NYPD when they stopped him twice near his Bronx home. [Here's more from the Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/david-floyd-stop-and-frisk-tria...): > The Center for Constitutional Rights, a non-profit civil rights legal group, is bringing the lawsuit, Floyd v. City of New York, against the city, alleging stop and frisk as it is currently being practiced violates constitutional protections against racial discrimination and unreasonable search. > > ...Floyd, who is black, is currently studying to become a doctor. He testified for more than an hour on Monday, wearing a dress shirt and tie, and recalled in a strong, even voice two police stops near his house. > > In April 2007, Floyd said, he was stopped by three police officers who demanded his identification and then proceeded to pat him down from his groin to his ankle on both legs. Despite telling the officers that he did not consent to the search they went ahead, one using a finger to search in Floyd's pants. > > The entire stop lasted no more than 10 minutes, but for Floyd it was a jarring experience. He said he felt "frustrated, humiliated -- because it was on my block where I live, and I wasn't doing anything." All he could think, he said, was that he wanted to get back to the safety of his home. Floyd's story is an interesting one, but it's also a common one.

A wide variety of activities are available at The Frances Xavier Warde School. From competitive sports and clinics to choir and fine arts, children are able to freely explore and enhance their own interests, talents and skills.
In addition to the arts and sports, there are two aspects of life at FXW that expand a student's view of the world beyond the classroom. "Exploratories" are an FXW invention. Something like a college elective class, students choose, for their exploratory experience, one of many off-campus opportunities to see professionals do what they do best. Students have visited the Stroger Hospital Emergency Room, the Rehab Institute and a professional Judo training facility. They have done architecture tours, visited the Baha'i temple and the Olympic 2016 bid headquarters.
But perhaps more definitive than any other special program, our curriculum of service projects is unique among elementary schools. From their youngest days here, our students participate in service projects. Whether it's collecting canned goods or linens for a local homeless shelter, whether it's visiting a local nursing home and developing relationships with it residents or tutoring youngsters in a city school, service becomes a way of life for our students, and defines them as adults. When our parents ask their kids about the last time they thought of someone other than themselves, they have an answer!

Little crash, but back on her feet
Ya it was my fault i guess, on a major highway changing lanes to get on another major highway during moring traffic and suddenly everyone hit the brakes. Roads were wet so didnt even have a chance to stop. Everyone was ok, first thing i did when i got on the sholder was get out and see if lady was ok that i hit. Then i turned to see this....
This was my first claim ever, had the same insurence for 13 years. They ended up totaling it out. Gave me a check for $3220 and keep the car. Got on craigs same day and found a salvage yard near by with a complete focus. Called them up, i need hood, bumper, grill, head lights and middle core support. That will be $227.....i said i would be there tonight to pick em up. And the best part..................they were already the color i needed. Wo hoo bolted it all on in two and half hours and she was ready to go......got really lucky

Validation of a Three-Frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopic Method For Body Composition Analysis
Ward, Leigh C., Dyer, Julia M., Byrne, Nuala M., Sharpe, Kendall K., & Hills, Andrew P. (2007) Validation of a Three-Frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopic Method For Body Composition Analysis. Nutrition, 23(9), pp. 657-664.
Objective We assessed whether whole-body multiple frequency impedance (MFBIA) data obtained at a few discrete frequencies could be used to estimate accurately resistance at 0 (R0) and infinite (R∞) frequencies required for prediction of body composition by mixture theory.
Methods Fat-free mass (FFM) was measured in 157 subjects (77 males, 80 females; body mass index [BMI] 17.8–41.7 kg/m2) by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Whole-body impedance was measured and R0 and R∞ were calculated by three different methods. FFM predicted using the different values of R0 and R∞ were compared with each other and with the reference DXA values for all subjects stratified according to BMI band (BMI <24.9 kg/m2, normal weight; BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2, overweight; BMI >30 kg/m2, obese).
Results All BIA procedures predicted an FFM that was slightly but significantly different from DXA-derived values, underestimating by 0.24 to 1.4 kg in the normal-weight subjects and overestimating by 5.3 to 7.1 kg in the obese subjects. Although statistically significant, the different impedance procedures were highly correlated (r > 0.98), with small limits of agreement (approximately ±2%) when used to predict FFM. Predictive power was associated with BMI, worsening as BMI increased.
Conclusion MFBIA can be used to estimate impedance parameters required for mixture theory prediction of body composition, but this approach requires adjustment for BMI to be accurate.

It's November, so piles of Chemicals Greetings Cards are starting to wend their way across the desks of uninterested executives for signature. Is there anything quite as dreary as the sight of jolly snowmen on a mild autumn day? There can be few logistical nightmares quite as daft as boxloads of Season's Greetings cards being signed in the US then forwarded to Germany for second signatures then posted to the UK. The number of cards coming in and out of the ICIS offices has been in decline in recent years. Does anyone under the age of 30 send Season's Greetings cards at all?
And what are you supposed to do with e-Greetings cards? You can't print them out and put them on display because that defeats the whole ecologically sound point of not wasting paper. Should you move them to a Greetings cards e-folder? What is the etiquette here?
My favourite cards were the famous Huntsman cards - the family picture of beautiful blondes – thank you so much Tim and Gillian for the cards 2003-2005, the Teesside years. It shows Jon Huntsman Snr with his children, 55 grandchildren and assorted husbands and wives, and comes with a key numbered one to 72, identifying each one.
The most grim card was the Dow 2003 card, showing two men on a bridge shaking hands over a river of green dollar bills.

Refereed Publications
Gordon, A. L., M. Visbeck and B. A. Huber, 2001: Export of Weddell Sea Deep and Bottom Water. Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans, 106(C5): 9005-9017.
An extensive set of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD)/lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) data obtained within the northwestern Weddell Sea in August 1997 characterizes the dense water outflow from the Weddell Sea and overflow into the Scotia Sea. Along the outer rim of the Weddell Gyre, there is a stream of relatively low salinity, high oxygen Weddell Sea Deep Water (defined as water between 0 degrees and -0.7 degreesC), constituting a more ventilated form of this water mass than that found farther within the gyre. Its enhanced ventilation is due to injection of relatively low salinity shelf water found near the northern extreme of Antarctic Peninsula's Weddell Sea shelf, shelf water too buoyant to descend to the deep-sea floor. The more ventilated form of Weddell Sea Deep Water flows northward along the eastern side of the South Orkney Plateau, passing into the Scotia Sea rather than continuing along an eastward path in the northern Weddell Sea. Weddell Sea Bottom Water also exhibits two forms: a low-salinity, better oxygenated component confined to the outer rim of the Weddell Gyre, and a more saline, less oxygenated component observed farther into the gyre. The more saline Weddell Sea Bottom Water is derived from the southwestern Weddell Sea, where high-salinity shelf water is abundant. The less saline Weddell Sea Bottom Water, like the more ventilated Weddell Sea Deep Water, is derived from lower-salinity shelf water at a point farther north along the Antarctic Peninsula. Transports of Weddell Sea Deep and Bottom Water masses crossing 44 degreesW estimated from one LADCP survey are 25 x 10(6) and 5 x 10(6) m(3) s(-1), respectively. The low-salinity, better ventilated forms of Weddell Sea Deep and Bottom Water flowing along the outer rim of the Weddell Gyre have the position and depth range that would lead to overflow of the topographic confines of the Weddell Basin, whereas the more saline forms may be forced to recirculate within the Weddell Gyre.
Orsi, A. H., S. S. Jacobs, A. L. Gordon and M. Visbeck, 2001: Cooling and ventilating the abyssal ocean. Geophysical Research Letters, 28, 2923-2926 pp.
The abyssal ocean is filled with cold, dense waters that sink along the Antarctic continental slope and overflow sills that lie south of the Nordic Seas. Recent integrations of chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC) measurements are similar in Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and in lower North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), but Antarctic inputs are approximate to 2 degreesC colder than their northern counterparts. This indicates comparable ventilation rates from both polar regions, and accounts for the Southern Ocean dominance over abyssal cooling. The decadal CFC-based estimates of recent ventilation are consistent with other hydrographic observations and with longer-term radiocarbon data, but not with hypotheses of a 20(th) -century slowdown in the rate of AABW formation. Significant variability is not precluded by the available ocean measurements, however, and interannual to decadal changes are increasingly evident at high latitudes.
Susanto, R. D., A. L. Gordon and Q. N. Zheng, 2001: Upwelling along the coasts of Java and Sumatra sand its relation to ENSO. Geophysical Research Letters, 28(8): 1599-1602.
Upwelling along the Java-Sumatra Indian Ocean coasts is a response to regional winds associated with the monsoon climate. The upwelling center with low sea surface temperature migrates westward and toward the equator during the southeast monsoon (June to October). The migration path depends on the seasonal evolution of alongshore winds and latitudinal changes in the Coriolis parameter. Upwelling is eventually terminated due to the reversal of winds associated with the onset of the northwest monsoon and impingement of Indian Ocean equatorial Kelvin waves. Significant interannual variability of the Java-Sumatra upwelling is linked to ENSO through the Indonesian throughflow (ITF) and by anomalous easterly wind. During El Niño episodes, the Java-Sumatra upwelling extends in both time (into November) and space (closer to the equator). During El Niño (La Niña), the ITF carries colder (warmer) water shallowing (deepening) thermocline depth and enhancing (reducing) upwelling strength.

Michelle and Nicholas's Wedding
"I was referred to Katie by JennyBS from the knot. I went out to Katie's house to do a trial and afterwards knew that she was perfect. My makeup looked great and it was right for me. She chose make up that complimented my skin/eye/hair color. The day of the wedding she was there on time and as Michelle was finishing hair styles, Katie was beginning make-up for the next available person. The morning went so smoothly. On top of Katie being really easy to get a long with and doing a wonderful job, she is VERY reasonably priced. I spoke to so many make-up people who wanted $100+ and I couldn't afford that and didn't want my family to pay that either. As far as her prices go, if you want her information contact me offline and I will let you know."

B.O.B. photos and video at Revolution Live – August 24, 2010
Here are a few photos of B.O.B. last night at Revolution Live, which is in Ft. Lauderdale and not too far north for us Miami folk. And as with the Yelawolf and Mayday photos we posted earlier, local photographer Ian Witlen was at hand snapping these amazing photos of B.O.B. His set was about an hour long and performed an array of tracks that lead up to the finale of "Nothin On You". And a few encore performances before officially calling it a wrap.

This is a fairly straightforward plot and it would be easy to give away too many details in a review and ruin the listening experience. Combine the following; An up and coming politician, a police detective, a prostitute, ambitious friends, and a rare 29 caliber pistol and you have an interesting story. This one is worth a listen.
John L.
The suicide of a prostitute could ruin the career of the state's up and coming politician who would like to become the next governor.
Latoya Williams
A political candidate's advisor tries to cover up the suicide of a prostitute who shot herself with the candidate's unique gun in his hotel room. We know all the facts; the story is about how the detective figures it out.
D. Mounio
The clue that broke the case was wet socks!
interesting story!
terence jones
I thought this was a good listen and a good morality play. Perhaps it was made more interesting as I just started reading Killing Kennedy (a gift from an in-law), but even if I hadn't started reading it I think I probably would've still liked this one.

In 2007, 37,248 fatal automobile crashes were reported in the United States. These numbers, coupled with those we've known who have been victims of fatal car accidents, make us ever cognizant of how dangerous driving can be. Despite this knowledge, everyday distractions such as phone calls, music and texting have become so ingrained in our daily routines that driving itself becomes a test in self-control. While you can't control the actions of others on the road, you can better your chances of remaining crash-free by instituting these steps into your daily driving routine.
Things You'll Need
- Tire pressure gauge
Check tire pressure regularly. Low air pressure can result in the tire blowing out mid-trip, risking an accident when the car veers with the impact of the blow.
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive at your destination on time. When deciding on what time to leave, allow a bit of time for unforeseen instances that might delay you, such as traffic or weather issues.
Ensure that you are fully rested before attempting to drive a vehicle.
Position mirrors once you have seated yourself in your car. Attempting to position your mirrors while driving takes your focus off the road and increases your chances of being in an accident.
Stow all phones and texting devices. Refrain from using these devices until you have arrived at your destination or, in the case of an emergency, have found a safe place to stop.
Focus on your driving at all times. Remain aware not only of what you're doing but what those drivers around you are doing as well.
Limit distractions. Putting on makeup, fixing hair and consuming food should all be done before you are on the road.
Use your turn signal before executing a turn or lane change.
Check side and rearview mirrors before executing a lane change.
Maintain a distance of about two or three cars when following another vehicle.
Look both ways before proceeding through an intersection or traffic light. While you may have the right of way, you cannot always trust other drivers to obey the rules of the road.
Drive within the speed limit range. Excessive speed lessens reaction time, which is imperative when avoiding stalled vehicles, reckless motorists and other unforeseen obstacles while driving.
Replace wiper blades as soon as they become dull.
Refrain from driving in inclement weather conditions if at all possible. If you must drive in these conditions, maintain a safe, usually slower, speed and keep a distance of about five to seven cars between yourself and any vehicle in front of you.
Turn on headlights when driving in darkened conditions or when weather affects visibility.
Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you're traveling to an event in which you know you will be consuming alcohol, ensure that you have a designated driver. In the event that you have no designated driver, call a cab.
Tips & Warnings
- Regularly check your directional signals, headlights and taillights to ensure they are working properly.
- If you feel that you're becoming too sleepy to drive, find a safe place to stop and rest. If at all possible, find a place to rest for a few hours, such as a hotel or home of a friend, before continuing on your trip.
