By Saki Sakaihara
Today, we went to Saint James Food Pantry to help the organization distribute food for homeless people and people don't have enough money to buy food.
In the morning, most of the people who came to the pantry were Chinese. They were not able to speak English well, but some members of us tried to communicate with them using simple words and slowing down speaking English. I was impressed to have seen this happen even though I didn't have an opportunity to be involved with people as much. I'm from Japan and I can't speak English fluently, so I understand how scary it is that people live in a different country from where they have grown up. That's why I think our team did great a job today.
In the afternoon, we gave food and water to homeless people. To be honest, I was scared to communicate with homeless people. When I saw homeless people on the street, I always tried to ignore them, because I thought they would make an attack on me for food and money. However, I was wrong.
They were not dangerous. They appreciated our service and often said "Thank you." Then, I found that I had prejudiced about homeless people.
During the service, a woman spoke to me and we had a conversation for a couple minutes. It was fun. Before she left there, she asked me to hug her. I was surprised but glad, and I hugged her. Through this one moment, something changed in my mind. If I didn't join this program, that change would not happen in my life.
When we reflected today's service, I talked about this story and I couldn't stop crying. I was afraid of saying my feelings to everyone, but other members felt same things, too. It made me happy.
I will never forget what happened today.
I want to be an English teacher in the future. So, I will tell it to my future students in Japan someday.

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Altruism or Business
Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka.
For the conscious visitor, a strange and uncomfortable feeling arises during the visit, as it can be easily mistaken with a zoo or a profitable business, which makes it hardly recommendable.
Some animal welfare associations, such as Born Free, and elephant experts show strong disagreement with the management and request changes in the level of care, with concerns about chaining, transfers, breeding and the encouragement of visitors by the keepers to have direct contact with the animals, mainly motivated by the exchange of tips and not always positive for the elephant´s wellbeing.

ObamaCare – is it too bad to fail? Well, if it isn't already, it may soon be.
At the risk of raising your blood pressure, or aggravating an ulcer, we must ask and answer the sickening question – is ObamaCare too bad to fail? Sorry, friends, but it's a serious inquiry, despite it's seeming absurdity…too bad to fail?
C'mon, something this unworkable, this unwieldy, this unpredictable, so massive, expensive, intrusive, so disruptive, so threatening to our individual rights and our privacy, how can something this bad not fail?
Many opponents of the President's health care reform law – or health care takeover – argue, reasonably, that ObamaCare will collapse under its own weight. That with all the problems cropping up – delays, funding concerns, union complaints, public disapproval, insurance premium increases, doctor shortages, small business outcries – with all these and more problems, ObamaCare is, in fact, a train wreck, that will inevitably run off the rails, crash and burn and go away. So, those of us who rail against the beast can relax and let nature take its course, right…?
We must consider how the ObamaCare beast masters view failure and success…what O-Care supporters and loyalists feel should and will happen. Just because the anti-Obamacare forces see the train wreck as an obvious fail doesn't mean the beast masters and their followers think that way.
Yes, the Obama administration is reaching out to pro athletes and pop culture icons and hollywood celebs to get on board and pitch the marvels of ObamaCare to the masses, to their blindly adoring fans. Yes, we may see that as a sign of desperation, a sign that the much-needed buy-in and sign-up by the young and the healthy isn't happening, thus threatening the already flimsy funding scheme.
Yes, report after report foretells of premium rate shock that will cause even more people to opt out and rise up against the machine. Yes, there are indications that many democrat politicians are fearful of the 2014 elections and voter rejection of O-care, therefore big democrat losses come November of next year…but….
Before November of next year comes January of next year, New Year's day, 2014, the day the government will begin subsidizing health insurance for millions of Americans. The day the ObamaCare train wreck becomes a gravy train delivering redistributed billions to Obamatons and others with their hands out and their mouths open.
The day people begin receiving that entitlement is the day the ObamaCare battle lines will be redrawn…radically redrawn. And should ObamaCare actually crash our whole health care system, then the government will have to step in with emergency measures…government takeover, government control. And this is what the staunch supporters of Obama and his law understand.
This is what ObamaCare opponents must also understand. Just because all signs say that ObamaCare is a train wreck barreling off the cliff of inevitable destruction…once the new year rings in, the fate of obamacare, or some beastly mutation, may locked in. It may be so bad that Obama or his successor will be forced to take drastic action to fix drastic problems…to bail out healthcare. It may be too bad to fail.
That's the bad news. The good news is we still have time to fight, time to find and promote the people to lead the fight, before ObamaCare really does become TOO BAD TO FAIL.

Continuing issue 2389:
A safer solution would be to add a sub-command to hugo list. An output sub-command would expand the scope of list a bit, but I think list is the right place to put this functionality. For example:
hugo list
> hugo list output List all files Hugo shall write in outputDir
@moorereason @snapo, this seems generally useful, and safe.
However, listing "what Hugo shall write" seems IMO not to address the issue of obsolete Hugo files in the ./public/ tree directly. (At least, I don't see how.)
I say this, because I suppose you're referring to files which Hugo currently calculates it will write to outputDir. Presumably, Hugo would base this on the present state of its trees ./content/, layouts/, and static/, etc.
Possibly you mean that Hugo would keep a log of its past writes (i.e., the file paths).
> hugo list output --orphans List all files in outputDir not part of Hugo
Listing "files...not part of Hugo" seems IMO not to address it directly, either. Of course, this list would include any other files and directories a Hugo user might have placed in ./public. That might be useful—or, it might be distracting.
How can Hugo know what particular files were "part of Hugo" in the past? For Hugo's obsolete files, this seems the relevant question.
To address this small "problem" of obsolete files, some sub-command of hugo list IMO could be implemented to print what Hugo has rendered (created or copied) in the past. This then would include the obsolete files rendered by Hugo.
Or, perhaps some sub-command of hugo list IMO could be implemented to print only those obsolete files.
Then, in order to remove Hugo's obsolete files, a user himself would type (if implemented):
rm `hugo list --obsolete`
Or, to remove Hugo's rendered files—both obsolete and currently valid—a user himself would type (if implemented):
rm `hugo list --historical`
While they focus on helping power users like themselves, I suppose developers sometimes have a tendency to ignore some of the comfort issues felt by new and "unsophisticated" users.
In that light, implementing either of the commands:
hugo list output --historical
hugo list output --obsolete
IMO would help Hugo, by increasing its feeling of safety for some new or "unsophisticated" Hugo users (those who seem less comfortable with the command line), who have reported (in effect) a reluctance to type rm -rf public/ themselves.
rm -rf public/
Naturally, I myself have no problem typing rm -rf public/!
Mark,You have a knack for over-complicating everything.
You mention "obsolete Hugo files." The hugo list output --orphans command would solve that problem. As a rule, I never manually put any files directly into the output directory. I put them in static/, and let Hugo copy them. That's why I call them "orphans." If a user is manually copying files into the output directory, they get the added challenge of managing the mess.
hugo list output --orphans
You also mention historical record-keeping. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Hugo will never track that. Hugo only cares about a single point in time. If you want to create historical manifests, you could use hugo list output and build your own tracking system.
hugo list output
This is an excellent argument—you've convinced me.
hugo list output --orphans is the right solution.

Buoyancy rings and life vests in the Titanic Ship
A life jacket comes in two types. It is made using an inflatable or buoyant material. It helps the human body to remain floating in the water. There are two kinds – non-inflatable life jacket and inflatable life jacket. There should be one life jacket for every passenger on the board. The life jacket should have a whistle tightened by a lanyard. It is necessary to check the whistles and lights of the life jacket as its performance can degrade if they are not up to the mark.
The Titanic ship had sufficient life vests as well as buoyancy rings. Both plays an important part in saving lives especially in the emergency situation. It is necessary for the ship to have various kinds of life saving appliances. The emergency situations cannot be predicted, and it can occur anytime. No matter the ship is huge, steady and strong, it should come with lifesaving appliances. The maintenance and operating procedures of these appliances should be known to the staff members.
In the Titanic ship, there was not a shortage. In fact, it has more than three thousand and five hundred life vests on the inventory. When examined, no people complained regarding shortage or lack of vests. The construction of the vests was so good. It was designed from canvas and cork.
The Titanic carried more than forty eight buoyancy rings. It remains as a decorative element than a useful one to the passengers. As the Titanic ship got immersed in the warmer water, the floating vessel remained useful only to a certain extent. Most people got drowned due to the temperature of the water and climate. It was said that the water was almost one degree Celsius in temperature, and it remained dangerous if a person is exposed more than fifteen minutes in this water. The main three elements for the shipwreck include buoyancy rings and life vests, wireless radio system, and watertight compartments.

And finally, @daisiesandshit's character from an as-of-unyet disclosed project.

Mike from @tusk1113's comic
Mike from @tusk1113's comic L33t. This is my first drawing for the "7 Ways in 7 Days" challenge I laid out back here.
7 Days in 7 Ways – Round 1
I laid down this suggestion on Twitter this AM -
I would like to challenge six of you to an experiment. Here's my thought; Seven of us (total), across seven days, draw seven characters. Each person submits one of their own characters. Each person draws their own character, plus the six others submitted by the other six. The goal isn't to ape the other person's style, it's to reimagine their character as they would appear in your style, as if in your comic. And when we're all done, we'll have a 7×7 grid of characters that we can paste together into one big collage for… a wallpaper or something.
Here are the brave souls who have answered my challenge, and reference pics for their characters:
- Tusk1113 – Character Mike – The bald guy here
- TherapyTales - Either of his characters - http://bit.ly/jAu5ph
- Onyxsparrow - Character Bill - http://bit.ly/lodLp0 - http://bit.ly/iBv12E - http://bit.ly/msc4MY
- Skar - Character Mojo - http://www.mojocomic.com/
- DaisiesAndShit - Character not named – http://lockerz.com/s/105637452
- n9uxu - The News Guy - http://bit.ly/jp5VXH http://bit.ly/lsz3RD
- Me – Character Arthur – He's the one in red here
So here's what's going to happen next – all 7 artists are tasked with drawing all 7 characters (their own plus the other six) within the next week (Let's say by 6/31 at Noon EST). These drawings can be as simple as redoing the characters in your style, or completely reinterpreting them as if they were a part of your own work (like, a Furry artist would be welcome to make Furry versions of everyone else's characters). The idea is to show how different people do the same essential things… differently.
As they finish their drawings, I'll post them here, and then at the end we'll do up a big mashup wallpaper that everyone can distribute to everyone.

text: We installed a comfort glow 50k vented propane heater for my mom. (thanks for all the help with the installation questions). The other day she said it started to roar...make a lot of noise (it does not have a fan). so she turned it down without looking at the flame and it seemed OK. I went up yesterday and there was a fair bit of yellow/orange flames. I took the burner out and cleaned it and the orifice. But neither. really seemed that dirty. The combustion area seem good....no soot. Today it happened again and this time she looked at it and said there was a lot of yellow/orange flames. She is using a 120 gal tank and it is at 30%. Up to this point (2 months) it seemed to be working OK. Because we bought it used I am wondering if I should change to orifice just to be assured it is the right size. It has been in the single digits here if weather can be a factor. She did change propane tanks a month or so ago but has had a fill with the new tank. Thanks for all your help. Julie

My daughter is now 28, my son is 22. Compared to their peers, I was relatively strict on some issues. My wife and I provided a standard or code of conduct. If you provide guidelines and they are ignored or circumvented, there has to be consequences. None of our requirements were unreasonable, but I leave little latitude for dishonesty, disrespect or disobedience. They were praised when they did well, and corrected when they willfully disregarded the guidelines with which they were provided. They learned to be well-socialized, considerate, people with respect for limits on behavior. They learned respect for authority. Yes, they are bright and they were occasionally mischievous. My wife and I parented as a team, discussed many issues to remain consistent with each other and with our children. My wife was the nurturing parent, and I was the disciplinarian. Those roles came naturally; I have a military background, my wife is an excellent nurse (RN). I lived the conduct I expected and was not above the rules. Today, I am thankful for my children, close to them, and proud of them.

The benefits of my strict parenting style include 4 highly successful and wonderful loving children, 9 highly successful and wonderful loving grandchildren, and 2 soon to be highly successful and wonderful loving great-grandchildren.
I am sure that through this same strict parenting effort, many highly successful and wonderful loving heirs will be forthcoming.
Providing a solid strict parenting example through truthful praise and loving criticism properly builds the children's talents and abilities. This structure restricts damaging interference. Through this positive parenting it promotes better academic and emotional outcomes for the child.
Focus in my strict parenting effort is based on the needs of advancement for the child through supportive skill and knowledge training. This includes continual interaction with the child concerning all academic, psyche, and social agendas. Through this intimate transfer the child advances greatly as they energize self-motivation.

Construction Loans
Ready to build on land you already own?
Or looking buying land to build on?

How does a construction loan work?
While in a standard home loan, all funds are advanced at the settlement with a construction loan the Lender will usually retain all of the cost to construct your property (amount stated in the fixed price building contract).
Construction loan funds are progressively drawn down at each stage of construction. Each progress draw-down is referred to as a "Progress Payment". Progress payments are made directly to the builder. If the bank is only funding a portion of the cost to construct your home, you must contribute all of your own funds before you can draw down on the loan.
There is a difference between loans for buying an established property and loans for building your own home.
Bank valuation
Bank value established properties differently as compared to 'To be built property'. Sometimes if you don't do due diligence before you apply for the loan, the valuation may come short of the purchase price or build cost.
Progress payments
Banks pay builders in installments called progress payments and they have rules around how these payments are made. Some charge 'Progress payment fees' for each payment, others may pay the builder only if it is as per a standard payment schedule.
Construction process
Various lenders release Grants, such as First Home Owners Grant at different stages of the construction process. They may also organize inspections at different stages – And charge you for the inspection.
We help you navigate through all the possible hurdles.
- We will help to find a lender that suits your unique requirements
- We help you compare different builders

The LSAT isn't actually graded on a curve is it? They have a process to equate the difficulty of the tests.. I think.. so how others perform has no impact on where someone scores.. if I'm correct ?

Aer Lingus is one of four finalists in the running to win a global innovation award.
The Irish airline has been shortlisted for the Citrix Innovation Award, along with two companies from the US and one from Australia.
Paperless cockpits is one of the features which has made Aer Lingus a strong contender for the award. Instead of heavy and bulky flight manuals, pilots now carry iPads into cockpits.
Captain Eamon Kierans, Manager of Flight Operations Compliance said technology has helped to reduce fuel costs, improve flight safety and on-time performance.
"The amount of paperwork that is required to operate an airplane is extensive. Many people have seen pilots walking through terminal buildings with large bags on wheels which are dragging manuals around with them.
"The cost of carrying a kilo of anything on an airplane over a year and over the thousands of millions of miles that the plane will fly, it's absolutely enormous."
"So there's a huge advantage to every airline to take that paper out and to make those savings."
"We have on the cockpit a computer with all of the manuals and documentation and we've also got it on the iPad. These days pilots are walking onto the airplane with their license in their breast pocket and an iPad," Mr Kierans said.
"Each individual pilot has the most up-to-date information, that's the essential piece that means that all of this is secure. It means that the pilot has access to flight information much earlier than he would normally have. It means that they're on board the plane earlier. Because they're on board earlier we can start to board the passengers earlier."

Congrats on making the top 10! Like the added cookie tray with cookies!
sew-me-a-garden says:
I actually did have individual cookies on my test fabric that I bought. The fabric design layout looked a bit less cluttered without them so I left them off, but I may add them back in!
paragonstudios says:
This was a very cute idea! it got my vote love the cookie sheet would have been cute too with some of the cookies separate from the tray so they could be served
sew-me-a-garden says:
Thanks for all the *sweet* comments! It was such a fun project, I had forgotten how fun it is to design and sew doll clothes.
rhondadesigns says:
The apron looks sweet, whichever side is on show. It is also easy to construct for any sewing novices. I love the tray of cookies! They look good enough for dolly to eat, as soon as they cool!
inscribed_here says:
Both sides of this reversible apron are sweet. The cookie slide is a very clever extra.

I agree, love the apron and the cookies on the tray are fantastic!

On a disc as a globe per pale Azure and Sable, gridlined Or, per pale overall a dagger Argent (Silver Gray), hilted of the third, the pommel terminating in a Greek cross Gules, entwined by a stylized serpent Vert, eyed of the third and pupil of the second; all within a narrow border Or.
Attached above the disc, a Blue scroll edged with a narrow Yellow border and inscribed "DEFENDO SALUS AD VITAM" in Yellow letters.
Attached below the disc, a Blue scroll edged with a narrow Yellow border and inscribed "SOAMDS" in Yellow letters.
Ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The globe indicates the world-wide reach of the unit. The division of the globe into night and day hemispheres depicts service at all hours. The dagger represents the Air Force Special Operations Command. The Greek cross, also known as the "crux immissa quadrata," represents urgent medical care. The cross combined with the dagger signifies medical support of the military units. The serpent entwined around the dagger is a reference to the Rod of Aesculapius, the ancient Greek symbol associated with the healing aspect of the medical arts. The motto, "DEFENDO SALUS AD VITAM," means "DEFENDING HEALTH FOR LIFE."

Eddie Redmayne and I go way back! HA! As far back as, oh, Les Miserables where the actor starred as Marcus. When I sat down with him for the press junket for The Theory of Everything, he remembered me, although I was blonde during the Les Mis interview. But needless to say, I continue to have respect for Redmayne both as an actor and a person. Hes just utterly nice!
And in The Theory of Everything, Redmayne is sure to get a Best Actor Oscar nod for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking, the brilliant guy who is being considered the Albert Einstein of our generation!
In this interview, we talked about:
*** What got him interested in making the movie?
*** Humanizing the icon of hope
*** Hawking should investigate the mathematical computation of love
*** The love story of the movie (Felicity Jones plays his wife)
*** How he was able to show the progression of Hawkings disease even if the film was not shot in sequence
*** Meeting the real-life Stephen Hawking
Have fun!

Felicity Jones matches Eddie Redmayne emotion-by-emotion in the new movie The Theory of Everything. She stars as Jane Hawking, the college sweetheart of Redmaynes Stephen Hawking, who professes her love for the brilliant man.
Jones was extraordinary in the movie, and shes equally extraordinary in real life when I met her for the press junket for the movie in New York. In this interview, we talked about:
*** How she worked with Redmayne
*** Her interest in the character and making the movie
*** How she prepared for the role
*** What resonated with her the most when she met the real-life Jane Hawking
*** The magic of the movie
*** Her favorite scene
Have fun!

I am sooo proud of our Palm Springs International Film Festival and equally happy that it's happening right in our own backyard! Just this morning, we heard that Eddie Redmayne, who is sweet and fabulous and a great actor to boot, is getting the Desert Palm Achievement Award for the 26th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF). He's being honored for his excellent portrayal of Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything."
Redmayne will be joining previous Desert Palm Achievement Award recipients such as Jeff Bridges, Daniel Day-Lewis, Matthew McConaughey, and Sean Penn. And according to the press release, "in the years they were honored, Bridges, Day-Lewis, McConaughey, and Penn went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Actor."
Hhhmmmm, good karma? Premonition? Happenstance? I sure hope so!
Here's the complete press release:
Palm Springs, CA (November 07, 2014) The 26th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) will present Eddie Redmayne with the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor at its annual Awards Gala. Each year the festival selects an actor and actress to receive this award. Presented by Cartier, and hosted by Mary Hart, the Awards Gala will be held Saturday, January 3 at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The Festival runs January 2-12.
From The Good Shepherd to Les Misérables, Eddie Redmayne has proven himself an actor poised for greatness, says Harold Matzner, Chairman of the Palm Springs International Film Festival. In The Theory of Everything, as ALS-stricken scientist Stephen Hawking, Redmayne captivates his audience as he goes through a powerful physical transformation, from a healthy college student to a dependent wheelchair-bound middle-aged man, in what is truly a stunning performance. We are honored to recognize Eddie Redmayne with the 2015 Desert Palm Achievement Award for acting.
Past actor recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award include Jeff Bridges, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, Sean Penn, Matthew McConaughey, and Brad Pitt. In the years they were honored, Bridges, Day-Lewis, McConaughey, and Penn went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Actor, while Cooper, Firth and Pitt received Oscar® nominations.
The Theory of Everything is the extraordinary and uplifting story of one of the worlds greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, and of two people defying the steepest of odds through love. The Focus Features release, based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, by Jane Hawking, is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (Man on Wire). The film stars Redmayne, Felicity Jones, Charlie Cox, Emily Watson, Simon McBurney, and David Thewlis.
Eddie Redmaynes film credits include Les Misérables, My Week with Marilyn, Savage Grace, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Like Minds, The Yellow Handkerchief, The Other Boleyn Girl, and The Good Shepherd. His stage work includes Red for which he won a Tony Award Richard II, Now or Later, and The Goat or Who is Sylvia. His notable television credits include starring in the miniseries Birdsong, Tess of the DUrbervilles, The Pillars of the Earth, and Elizabeth I. Redmayne was nominated for BAFTAs Rising Star Award and he shared a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination with his fellow actors from Les Misérables for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

The Force Awakens! Apparently, the Force has been sleeping through the last "Star Wars" movies!
And predictably, it didn't make everyone happy when it was revealed on the film's Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Some sample snarkiness:
New Star Wars title not bad, just feels a little forced.
I had my money on STAR WARS INTO DARKNESS.
And my favorite, Shhhhh. The Force is a very light sleeper.
But not everybody will be happy with the most over-hyped, over-talked contemporary movie! Honestly, while I"m not a fan of the title, I really couldn't give a flying f&*^
I'm tired of hearing about "Star Wars" sequel period!!!!! Just do the movie, make money, and then do more sequels to satisfy the new home of "Star Wars," Walt Disney Pictures!
And honestly? I'm beginning to hate J.J. Abrams!!! The last "Star Trek" movie wasn't that good, it made me long for the original, much better "The Wrath of Khan!" I'm slowly learning to despise him the more he talks about his new pet project!
So while everyone is watching "Star Wars, ahem, The Force Awakens" I'll be basking in the glory of the first three "Star Wars" movies. No, not the Sith Revenging or Clones Attacking, more like the Empire Striking Back by Way of the Jedi Exacting Revenge. That is, ultimately, my New Hope!

Frequently asked questions
Information about our English courses, Jersey and travel below
About the school
St Brelade's College was established in 1978, so we have 40 years of experience in providing quality English programmes for young international students. We aim to provide a safe environment where young students can develop their English skills and make new friends from other countries.
St Brelade's College is the only English language school in the Channel Islands accredited by the British Council. This means the school is regularly inspected across a wide range of criteria to ensure it meets the high standards both for the tuition and welfare of our students.
Jersey is known to be a safe, clean and beautiful island. For our younger students we offer a range of exciting beach activities such as surfing, kayaking and banana rides. Teenagers can also participate in a range of evening activities in the summer such as the disco, cinema and sports evenings as well as our renowned weekly barbecue.
Homestay accommodation is intended to give students a taste of British life. They live with local people and take part in their daily lives. In this way, they have an opportunity to practise English and learn about British culture. However, you should also consider that they may not live in the same way as you do. Their customs, routines and eating habits may be completely different to your own. If you do not feel your child can easily adapt to this way of life, we suggest residential accommodation. We also recommend the residence for students who want to be guaranteed to be near St Helier.
Younger students generally share a room with students of different nationalities in their homestay accommodation, so that they can spend their free time together and communicate in English. Unless requested, we only place two students to a room, with a maximum of four students per homestay. Please note that outside summer, it is more likely that young students will be alone in the homestay, as there may not be any other nationalities in the school at that time.
Yes. Please write the name of the person they wish to share with on the application form.
We never place students of the same nationality together in a homestay unless they request it.
We have specially selected hosts for this age group. Nevertheless, younger students can be prone to home sickness, especially if it their first trip away from home alone. This is why we insist that students aged 12 and under stay in a homestay with a friend or older brother/sister.
Our hosts can cater for basic diet requirements such as a vegetarian diet at no extra cost. However more specific diets such as gluten-free may incur a surcharge of £20 per week to cover the cost of any specialised food. Please give as much information as possible to the office in order for the hosts to prepare for this.
Wherever possible we try to take into account students' preferences. However we are unable to guarantee such requests, and students should be aware that during busy periods, it is more difficult to meet requests about homestay location. We recommend that students who want to be near St Helier should choose residential accommodation.
When you call the homestay, please try to avoid meal times – in the UK most families are finished eating by 8pm. It is best to ask the homestay when is the best time to call. Also, please consider that there may be other students or members of the home who need to use the phone so try not to spend too long when you call.
Wherever possible we try to take into account students' preferences. However it is not always possible to meet these requirements, especially at peak periods. Please also consider that English teenagers, like all teenagers, can be very independent and may not necessarily wish to spend their free time with students.
Please read our terms and conditions for details on supervision for juniors.
St Brelade's College has a duty of care to young people attending courses at the school and aims to ensure that staff, group leaders, accommodation providers and other suppliers help to keep them safe. Find out more by downloading our safeguarding policy for students.
Holiday courses include activities every afternoon, while the intensive course includes English lessons on three afternoons and activities on two afternoons. The minimum age for the intensive course is 16 years old, and we only recommend intensive courses for more serious and motivated students.
We now offer a semi intensive course which includes lessons on only two afternoons per week. The semi intensive course is available for students aged 14 years and above.
Jersey is an ideal destination for families and we have designed our programmes to take families into account. More information can be found in our family programme brochure.
During the summer, we have separate campuses for our young learners, teenagers & adults.
Our summer campus for holiday, semi intensive & semi combination course students aged 14-17 years is held at Highland's College, the local college of further education close to St Helier. Here we have use of over 25 large classrooms, most of them equipped with interactive whiteboards. There is a canteen and outdoor areas where students can relax outside of class.
Teenage intensive course students (16 to 18 years) attend classes at the main school, along with the adults.
For young learners (10-13 years), St Peter's Youth & Community Centre is used in June and the first half of July. There are 4 rooms plus recreational areas for students to use during breaks. St George's Preparatory School is available in the latter half of July and August. This private school occupies a beautiful granite building with purpose built classrooms and spacious grounds. Both campuses are located around 10 minutes by bus from St Brelade's College.
Outside of summer, all young students attend our main adult school where they can make use of a teenage student lounge along with a volleyball area outside.
During the summer, for students aged 14 and over, there are optional activities arranged for most evenings, plus a Sunday afternoon meeting on the beach. These are all supervised by St Brelade's College staff.
Transport & arrival
Students of St Brelade's College are entitled to a 10% discount with Condor Ferries when they book using our code: 109941. You can call Condor Ferries in France on +33 (0)825 135 135.
Children under 16 cannot travel alone with Condor Ferries. St Brelade's College offers a chaperone service to Jersey. If you are interested in arranging this then please contact our office and we can provide you with more details.
We need accurate information concerning the date, time and place of arrival in Jersey at least four weeks before the start of the course. It is essential we have these details in time to inform the hosts so that they can make the necessary preparations ahead of your child's stay.
No! Please ensure that the arrival details are provided directly to St Brelade's College. It is our responsibility to be sure that all students are collected by their host when they arrive. For this reason we need to be sure that all the hosts have the correct arrival details for their student(s). However, this does not mean that you should not contact the host prior to arrival. In fact we encourage students to contact their host ahead of their stay.
If you are accompanying your child to Jersey we will organise a meeting time and place. This will usually be the harbour or the school, as it is easy to find.
In order to allow the host time to prepare for the arrival of their next students, we ask all students to try to arrive on Sunday and leave on Saturday. If they are unable to arrive on a Sunday, a Saturday arrival is accepted but we regret that Sunday departures are not usually possible.
The host or residence staff will meet your child at the harbour or airport when they arrive. They will be holding an arrival card with their name and the name of the school so that they can be easily recognised. They will also take your child back to the airport or harbour at the end of their stay. Please note that students staying in the residence may also be collected by a taxi driver.
What to bring
All lesson materials, such as books and photocopies, are provided so all students need to bring is a notebook and pen. An English dictionary is also useful. All linen and bath towels are provided in homestay and residence but please remember to pack swimwear and a beach towel. We also recommend that you pack sun cream and a mobile phone in case the host or the school need to make contact with your child during their stay.
All meals, transport and activities are included in the course price.
This includes bus fares in the summer for students in homestay and residence. Four evening activities are also included as part of the summer programme.
Outside of summer, students have to pay for any public bus fares (up to £2 each way) and evening activities, such as the cinema. Students also need to pay for any weekend activities and excursions with hosts.
Please note that on one afternoon, students go shopping in St Helier and may require spending money.
We normally recommend that students are given around £40 pocket money per week, depending on their age, to pay for extra refreshments, activities, bus fares and shopping.

How to
Start Your Own Mutual Self-Help Support Group,
E-Manual written and published by Andrea
Reynolds from her three-hour workshop. (Book her to conduct
this workshop for your group.)
The Manual
Self help groups offer people who face a common problem the opportunity to meet with others and share their experiences, knowledge, strengths, and hopes. Run for and by their members, self help groups can be better described as "mutual help" groups. Many such groups are started each week across the country by ordinary people with a little courage, a sense of commitment and a lot of caring. While there is no single formula for starting a group, this class will provide some general considerations you may find helpful. The focus of the class will be on setting up the support group and getting visibility within the community to attract members.

Taste of Atlanta: elegantly curated boutique
Just as I do in every city I visit, I explored Atlanta on a recent trip and discovered some great venues. Last year, West Egg cafe became my favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. On the way to West Egg yesterday, I noticed a small chic shopping area call the White Provisions with high-end retailers like Knoll, Billy Reid, and many more. Just beyond this center, over the bridge is Bacchanalea which is one of Atlanta's best restaurants. And next door to the restaurant is SID MASHBURN, an elegantly curated boutique. I spent quite a bit of time here and I must say the buyers know exactly what they are doing–impeccable taste that is in perfect tune with current and classic style. The merchandise is exquisite and so varied giving clients a broad range to choose from. One can never go wrong. I want everything in this shop for my closet.
SID has mens, womens and a small selection for kids at ANN MASHBURN. But the element that makes them stand out extends beyond their merchandise and their great style. They provide their clients with an experience and some of the best customer service I have seen in a long time. The management, style consultant, tailors and even the cleaning crew are all passionate about what they are doing and it shows. These staff members believe in their product and are confident about not only selling it but wearing it as well. This commitment and passion led me to photograph Graham , Brad , and Donnie, who naturally express their style, flair and a sense humor–everything just works: quality, style, originality…the perfect fit.

Cycling in the Netherlands
Amsterdam Travel Blog› entry 14 of 23 › view all entries
This morning was my last morning with Lydia for a week or so, as she has to head back to work while I have a conference starting Wednesday. We got up early to get her to the train station, while the streets were still being scrubbed clean from the previous night's revelry. We said our farewells, I nearly made Lydia miss her train as she jumped through closing doors after one last kiss, and I went back to bed for a decent sleep in.
Apart from lazy
naps and copious amounts of good food, today was spent joining the
hundreds of thousands of Amsterdamers on bike.
We saw one of the
remaining Dutch windmills, once ubiquitous as they reclaimed land
from the water using an Archimedes screw, now relatively rare (many
were ripped up for fuel during the long hard winter at the close of
WWII) and simply show-pieces (with the real work being done by
sophisticated pumps). The windmills are more than just a national
monument and tourist attraction, they are an insight into the Dutch
mentality. The Dutch are often called liberal, and indeed there are
many liberals in the country, but it is not a defining characteristic
like it is with the Nordic countries.
Rather than being
liberal, the Dutch have a "polder mentality". Those who
live in the polder, the reclaimed land, have to rely on each other.
They might not like each other, but unless they all work together the
defences fail and they all will be together under the water. This has
taught the Dutch that social problems need social solutions, and to
tolerate your neighbour even if you don't like them. Unlike many
other countries, the Netherlands also remembers that during WWII it
was not only the Nazi facists that committed the holocaust – plenty
of homegrown facists actively took part in a purge of Jews,
communists, homosexuals and liberals.
Behind the
windmill was Rembrandt Hoeve, so called because the farmhouse
appeared in the background of several sketches Rembrandt did of
windmills. The farm is a cheese and clog factory, and we got to watch
both being made. The clogs are surprisingly quick to make on a simple
lathe. Now only four factories make wooden clogs in the Netherlands,
and most of those go to tourists. The only people who wear them now
tend to be farmers, because it is practical to have a shoe that
floats and dries quickly when working in a polder, and one that saves
your foot if you are stomped on by a cow.
On the ride back we stopped in at an Irish pub for a beer. I had a quick couple of Duvel's to refresh myself, quite a nice beer and surprisingly strong (strong enough that the Irish bartender said to me when I ordered my second "you do know this is not an ordinary beer, right?"). I got good language advice from our guide, who only spoke English until he was thirty, but is now fluent in five languages (which is good to hear from someone who was monolingual beforehand). He said that he learned Danish when living in Copenhagen with his Danish girlfriend by borrowing Danish pornographic comic books from the Copenhagen library (which had a very large collection). She made him read one to him every night, and corrected his Danish in the nicest possible way. He said the experience was very rewarding.

Infant Seat - Help please!
I have an Evenflo Triumph 65 DLX for DS. Based on how much I liked that seat, I requested the Evenflo Serenade from my mom for my second baby and we found it for just $70.
I LOVE the Evenflo Serenade. I mean love it. The Surelatch is amazing, the handle was so comfortable, the sunshade could be used to completely shade baby (Jake was so picky about that), the harness was so easy to adjust.
But it just doesn't fit in my car. The front seat is unusable when the carseat is properly installed (with the handle down and 1 1/2 inch clearance between the carseat and front seat). I called crying (pregnancy hormones) to my wonderful mom and she said don't worry, we will get you one that has everything you need. It doesn't matter what it costs. Now, I won't be buying a $200 seat, but I think I could get away with about $150 without feeling like I'm completely taking advantage of her.
Suggestions on anything that might have some of the features I liked from the Serenade, but not the handle down and clearance requirement? And is BRU the best place to go to try before you buy?
Note: I have a 2005 Mazda 6 and will have DS's Triumph front facing in the back too, there is latch on both sides but not in the middle.
Re: Infant Seat - Help please!
The Chicco Keyfit 30 is well loved and really easy to install. Evenflo is the only brand that makes the SureLATCH, so perhaps after your little one is out of the infant seat, you can get an Evenflo convertible car seat that has SureLATCH since you love that feature so much.
My top list of infant seats include (in no particular order):
Chicco Keyfit 30
Graco SnugRide 35
Lamaza Via
Safety 1st onBoard35 Air
Britax B-Safe

Northwestern ends drought in Gator Bowl
By MARK LONG
Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The stuffed monkey spent the last year in storage, out of sight but still in everyone's mind.
Coach Pat Fitzgerald dusted it off for the Gator Bowl and even had it on the sideline Tuesday as a reminder of Northwestern's decades-long, bowl losing streak — the ol' monkey on their backs.
Now, it's in pieces.
Behind huge interceptions early and late, No. 21 Northwestern beat Mississippi State 34-20 and snapped college football's longest postseason losing streak. The Wildcats (10-3) hadn't won a bowl game since 1949, a nine-game skid that was tied with Notre Dame for the longest in NCAA history.
It's history now. And as a reward, Fitzgerald let his players rip the monkey to shreds in the locker room.
"We've never been here before, but now we're here and here to stay with a new streak you can talk about in a positive fashion," Fitzgerald said.
Quentin Williams returned an interception 29 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game and Nick VanHoose set up another touchdown with a 39-yard interception return in the fourth. Those plays were the difference in a back-and-forth game that featured more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (six).
In between, Northwestern's two-quarterback system kept the Bulldogs (8-5) off balance most of the day.
Scrambler Kain Colter ran for 71 yards, making up for his two interceptions. Backup Trevor Siemian threw for 120 yards and an interception, and also ran for a score.
Even with the turnovers, they were more efficient than Mississippi State's Tyler Russell.
Russell completed 12 of 28 passes for 106 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions. He had only thrown six picks in the first 11 games this season.
He threw interceptions on Mississippi State's first two possessions and tossed another one early in the second quarter. After falling behind 13-0, Russell settled down and got the Bulldogs back in the game.
"I talked to him going into the locker room after the third pick, said 'Go into the locker room, splash some water on your face, readjust your pads and forget that you came out to start the game,'" said coach Dan Mullen, whose team lost five of its final six games. "'Get in the tunnel, start jumping up and down again, get yourself tight and run out of the tunnel again.'"
It worked as Mississippi State tied the game at 13 in the third quarter.
On the other sideline, there had to be a sense of panic. After all, the Wildcats had blown three double-digit leads in the second half of three games this season. Northwestern surrendered big leads against Penn State, Nebraska and Michigan. That 'here-we-go-again' feeling easily could have taken over when Mississippi State seized momentum.
But the Wildcats didn't flinch. They responded with Siemian directing a 76-yard drive that put NU up for good. Tyris Jones bowled in from 3 yards out.
Siemian added a 4-yard TD run — set up by Colter's 31-yard scamper — that made it 27-13 with 26 seconds remaining in the third. That came after Russell's fourth pick, the one VanHoose grabbed near midfield.
"I feel like a big burden has been lifted off our shoulders," Colter said.
Venric Mark, Northwestern's all-everything back, finished with 56 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.
Mark and Colter were on the field for the final few snaps, watching from afar as the madness started to unfold on their sideline. The Wildcats spent the final 1:42 celebrating the program's first postseason victory since beating Cal in the 1949 Rose Bowl.
Defensive tackle Brian Arnfelt, one of the team's 25 seniors, doused Fitzgerald with a water bucket and then jumped into his arms. When the game ended, players danced at midfield and then ran toward the stands to recognize friends, family and fans. Fitzgerald playfully directed the band as it belted out the alma mater.
"This one goes to all the Wildcats that have been here before us," Fitzgerald said. "They've paved the way for us. … The sky is the limit for where our program can go. … We might not be putting the Big Ten championship trophy in our case, but we took a big step forward in accomplishing that mission today."
The Wildcats donned Gator Bowl championship hats and posed for pictures long after the final seconds ticked off the clock.
"It's just a great feeling," linebacker David Nwabuisi said. "It's unreal. It's like we keep saying, we haven't been here before. I'm kind of sad there is no confetti afterwards, but I'll deal with it. It was just good to be out there on the field as long as we wanted to."
A few minutes later, they got to rip the monkey to pieces.
"Every time I think about this, I start to tear up a little bit," said Williams, who also tipped another pass that was intercepted. "This is just a fantastic happening for our school. We've worked so hard to get to this point and it paid off. I've been here for five years and to finally get a win is just amazing."

Working Families Launch 'We Rise' Campaign to Train and Organize Immigrant Workers
The AFL-CIO will launch on Tuesday a national immigration training plan, "We Rise!" (¡Adelante!). It is designed to reach, mobilize and organize immigrant workers in their workplaces and in their communities. The three-day kick-off event in Washington, D.C., will include trainings, workshops and strategy sessions designed to empower immigrants and their allies to lead campaigns that will enhance the rights of all workers. The event will include more than 200 union members, leaders and staff from 23 unions, and activists and community leaders from 26 states across the nation.
This practical, hands-on training will provide labor union members, activists and leaders with all the tools necessary to realize the promise of the recent executive actions on immigration to improve standards for all working people and strengthen communities where our members work and live. Participants will be trained to assist as many eligible workers as possible to gain rights on the job by applying for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) programs and to encourage qualified legal permanent residents to become U.S. citizens.
The specific objectives of the training sessions are:
- Build a shared understanding of what immigration implementation means for workers and the labor movement.
- Identify the strategies, tools and resources necessary for successful implementation.
- Generate a field plan for immigration implementation.
- Create a national network of engaged unions and community partners.
- Launch the We Rise! Initiative.
Scheduled to join the AFL-CIO in the training is a diverse array of organizations, including: the AFL-CIO Lawyers Coordinating Committee, AFSCME, AFT, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, Clean Carwash Campaign, Dream Team Los Angeles, Education Austin, Farmworker Justice, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, Laborers (LIUNA), National Day Laborer Organizing Network, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Not1More, NPNA, the Orange County Labor Federation, PICO, Puente, the United Domestic Workers of America (UDW)/AFSCME Local 3930, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) and United We Dream.

The Winter Meetings Could Be Eventful for R.A. Dickey
NASHVILLE—R.A. Dickey lives just a short drive away from the Gaylord Opryland. When the sprawling resort hosts the winter meetings, they tend to be eventful for him.
It was here in 2007 that the Seattle Mariners plucked him from the Minnesota Twins in the Rule 5 draft. And it is here this week that the Mets may determine Dickey's future.
They hope to add two years to a contract that expires after the 2013 season. But if they...

100 Days of School
The lower school students celebrated 100 days of school on Thursday, January 24th. The students collected 100 cans of food in each grade for the needy. Many other fun activities took place throughout the day. Some classroom events included: making paper pizza with 100 toppings and later enjoying real pizza, 100 items were worn on the K5 student shirts as they marched around the school in a parade, math and reading games were played that emphasized 100 and one lower school class even came up with 100 words to describe God! It was a day to celebrate in every classroom the many blessings God has already given us this year at TMA!

Cheapo Watches
Inexpensive time pieces with playful, fun designs from Sweden
With 2015 in full swing, many around the globe are already finding their New Year's resolutions easier said than done. For those looking to be more punctual, and more sensible with their spending this time around, Sweden's Cheapo watches offers countless clever timepiece designs that won't empty out your wallet. Though they're certainly not new on the international scene, the modest brand has recently started to ramp up their North American presence—luckily their watches are analog, so no need to fret over a 24-hour clock.
Cheapo's line of unisex watches is extensive to say the least, with everything from vintage-inspired patterns and classic nautical designs to a psychedelic satanic kitten. And for those who just don't give a damn about being on time, but still want a fun watch, the Barbara Kruger-inspired "Screw It" model should do nicely. A single-ply leather strap and quartz movement come standard. Prices land around $50.

Shock as popular publican dies after falling down stairs
A CHRISTMAS party night ended in tragedy after a popular publican fell down the stairs of his home to his death.
Ian Noone, of the Antique Tavern in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, was out celebrating his staff Christmas social on Monday night. Tragically, Mr Noone was killed when he tumbled down the staircase after returning home from town.
It is believed he may have been going down the stairs to let his dog outside when he fell in the home he shared with his long-term French girlfriend, Delphine Riche.
His work colleagues were shocked at the sudden death of the 42-year-old.
A black ribbon hung outside the Antique Tavern and the pub closed as a mark of respect yesterday.
His co-worker Karl Forrester said Ian was an "excellent employer" who was "very kind" and a "very good" friend.
"Everyone in town is devastated and absolutely shocked," he said.
Enniscorthy councillor Paddy Kavanagh saw Mr Noone out with his staff on Monday night in the Castle Bar in the town. "He was there with all his staff and everyone looked like they were having a great time."
Local businessman Jimmy Gahan said Mr Noone was an "absolute gentleman".
"He was highly popular and the community is in shock with the circumstances being so tragic."
President of the Enniscorthy rugby club, Charlie Kavanagh, described Mr Noone as a "very jovial" man. He said he ran the bar in the rugby club and in the local golf club for some time and "couldn't do enough" for people.
Mr Noone is survived by his parents, Joe and Eileen, and brother Karl.
Removal takes place today from Browne's funeral home in Enniscorthy at 5.30pm to arrive at the Star of the Sea church in Riverchapel at 6.30pm. Funeral Mass takes place at 11am tomorrow and burial will follow in the local cemetery.

Unanswered: Pervasive v10 --> SQL 2008 R2 Linked Server = (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
Hi All,
I am trying to setup a linked server in SQL 2008 R2 (32-bit) to pull data from Pervasive Workgourp v10.30. I had this working on my old XP (32-bit) system, but I can't seem to make it work on my new Windows 7 (64-bit) system.
Below is an example of the code I would use to connect to DEMODATA:
USE master GO sp_addlinkedserver 'PSQL', '', 'MSDASQL', 'DEMODATA';
But when I try to query any data, or simply right-click > Test Connection, I get the following error.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
The test connection to the linked server failed.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PSQL".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PSQL" returned message "[Pervasive][ODBC Client Interface][Client LNA]Connection attempt timed out. The SQL Connection Manager may be inactive or using a different transport protocol from the client.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
For help, click: Source: MSSQLServer ID: 7303 (SQL Server 10.50.1600) - Events And Errors Message Center: Message Details
Any ideas on what I might try to resolve this? Thanks!
Other random details:
- Ran a Pervasive System Analyzer test for relational and transactional engines and it passed without error.
- Pervasive v10.30 Workgroup (32-bit) is installed locally (not a service).
- I can query the datatabase name in Pervasive Control Center > Execute SQL Command without error.
- I opened Excel 2007 and was able to pull data from the DEMODATA data source directly into Excel without error.

Looks like I found the solution. In XP, I only had to setup an ODBC DSN using the Engine Interface. For some reason in Windows 7 (64-bit) I had to setup a Client Interface ODBC DSN pointing to an Engine Interface, then use the Client Interface for the SQL Linked Server.
A bit bizarre, but it works...
