Tropical Storm Irene setting for mystery novelBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | October 01,2013AP PHOTO
Archer Mayor looks over fallen gravestones from Tropical Storm Irene in Woodlawn Cemetery in Rochester. Two years after Tropical Storm Irene, one of the states top home-grown mystery writers, Mayor, is using the storm as the backdrop for his latest book.MONTPELIER Two years after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, Newfane mystery writer Archer Mayor is using the chaos and destruction of the storm as the setting for his latest book, Three Can Keep a Secret, apparently the first piece of fiction to chronicle the storm and how Vermonters reacted to it.
Mayor said his goal is to chronicle how Vermont and Vermonters deal with the modern world.
Its one of the biggest events to have occurred in this state in quite a while. We still refer to the floods of the 20s and 30s as being monumental even though most of us werent alive, Mayor said. We are going to be referring to Irene many, many decades from now.
In the book, Mayor describes how Irene flooded the state, sending cars into torrents or how the floodwaters flushed into the open decades-old, previously unknown mysteries.
The main mystery takes its cue from to real-life closure of the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury during the flooding. In the book, a wrongly hospitalized patient escapes. Mayors main character, an investigator, works to learn what happened to her. The book also explores what happens after a single grave in a cemetery washes out and a casket is broken open, revealing rocks rather than human remains.
Fiction helps artists make sense of events, said University of Vermont professor and author Philip Baruth, who is also a state senator.
That was a traumatic event and society as a whole does what individual artists do they use stories, they use fiction, Baruth said.
Theres a fine line between turning human experiences into fiction and taking advantage of human suffering for art, Baruth said.
Mayor said he works hard to separate fictionalization of reality from actual cases. He makes clear in the book his fictional cemetery is not in Rochester, where about 50 graves washed into the White River.
I wanted to, in effect, pay homage to the disaster that hit Rochester, Mayor said.
State Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, a longtime advocate for the mentally ill, said she objected to the premise that someone could have been wrongly hospitalized at the state hospital for decades.
Having no other symptoms that an independent psychiatrist wouldnt recognize is playing to a kind of public assumption that just doesnt exist anymore, Donahue said.
Mayor said he wasnt indicting Vermonts mental health system. His premise was a specialized circumstance.
Ill guarantee you in every single book Ive ever written there have been people who objected to it, he said. It is not, as I see it, the job of the writer of fiction to be held responsible for every single individuals advocacy. You simply cant do it.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The once-endangered loons had a record year nesting on some of Vermonts lakes and... Full StoryMONTPELIER U.S. Rep.

Elevator Action Tribute! A part of the Nintendo tribute book that I am putting together.
Also Buy prints here:
This week's post is coming a little bit early and I am headed out of town for the next week or so.
I didn't want to leave you guys without a post for the week. So this week I decided to take a bit of a break from the Nintendo book and try something different. I don't normally do superheroes (although I love them)..but since everyone else does it I like to be different. However, in the spirit of doing different things, I decided to try and paint over someone else's lines, which turned out to be pretty awesome.
I have been following this guy and Deviant art for a while (http://weaponx5203.deviantart.com/).
One day I asked him if I could pick something from his gallery and paint over the work.
He said "sure" and below is what I got. If you are interested in reading the post you can see the entire process here.
In the end, it's not the worst, but in practicing I learned a few tricks a long the way to make the painting process easier. If I go over my original sketches and create a simple line drawing, that will eliminate having to work so hard when starting the color phase. Also, anatomy anatomy anatomy and values. Very hard to master, but I will be psyched when I get it. So that's it for this one, next up is Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon part II).
As I learn how to paint things and improve, I am going to be tempted to go back and rework stuff that I have already done. A friend of mine is starting a blog/site and asked me to do a piece for him, so I said "of course". When I went back and looked at what I did however, I was not happy with it at all. So, of course I re-did it. I am super happy with it, but I am sure that I will learn more as time goes on.
Happy Sunday everyone! The next piece that I was going to post was going to be a Double Dragon piece. (that's still coming…but…)
As a side project I decided to also re-work something that I had already done a while back. Sometimes I feel the need to go back and re-work that I had done in the past in hopes of making it better. Since I was not happy with the earlier version of this, I decided to re-do it. Sonic the Hedgehog folks!
Next Up: Double Dragon! Yee Haw!!!
A little surprise this week as I did an extra mini piece. You can't have a Nintendo tribute without Mario. Even though Mario has been done over a million times I haven't really done Mario before, and so I figured "why not". Here is the final!
The next entry in my Nintendo tribute series is "Pro Wrestling". This is another game that I played for hours and hours on end. It was and is still one of my favorites to this day ("A winner is you!").
Below is the step by step to the final piece.
1. I wanted to do something that included all of the wrestlers naturally, so I did a couple of different sketches, of all the wrestlers in different poses, and finally settled on the one below. It basically has all of the wrestlers in the front, and Great Puma (the Champion of the VWL—Video Wrestling League) in the back overshadowing the rest of the wrestlers. (below)
2. Then I added a base black and white color and started to block in the shadows (below)
3. I added a background color to give the painting an overall sense of color (purple seemed to work well in the color scheme of the rest of the wrestlers in the group shot) (below)
4. Then I started to add the flat colors over all of the wrestlers (I used the original game instruction manual as a basis for the colors (below)
5. I next started to do the paintover layer, and went over all of the details and the edges. I had a little trouble with Starman's arms as they were folded over each other. So I had to spend a little time going over that some more. Also, now that I am looking at it Figher Hayabusa's shoulder (lower left next to The Amazon) looks a little humpy and weird. As always the biggest issue that I had was anatomy, although I felt that with this piece I am getting a little better. The key as always is practice (below)
6. Finally I added final shadows, and lighting, and used the text from the actual Pro-Wrestling box and voila! Done…it's going in the book.
Next up, Bubble Bobble!!!!!
Finished my Nintendo Trojan piece…gonna post the final piece and the process tomorrow…
More art coming soon…I am just finishing up a piece that is taking me a while to get through. I'm trying to post more awesomeness and less crappyness…

There is another Fraiche restaurant located in Culver City. Different chefs work at the restaurants, so the menus are slightly different. thehappeningsinsocal posted this

Important Notice: WonderCafe has Closed
The United Church has sadly come to the decision that WonderCafe needed to close and all new discussion ended June 2014. Read More...
Our congregation is trying to decide what is the best time to start Sunday morning worship. It is a tough thing to decide because there are so many factors: Sunday morning sports, convenience of those already attending, non-morning types, etc. I am very curious to know what time Sunday morning would work best for those who visit WonderCafe. Would be happy for any and all feedback. Thanks.
Just saw your post and thought that the best time to start Sunday morning worship would be Sunday morning.
Just kidding you but I had to say it.
Be Blessded and keep the sermons to a good length.
A pastor, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed a man get up and leave during the middle of his message. The man returned just before the conclusion of the service. Afterwards the pastor asked the man where he had gone.
"I went to get a haircut," was the reply.
"But," said the pastor, "why didn't you do that before the service?"
"Because," the gentleman said, "I didn't need one then."
nice on, sighs!
I have two churches, and service times are arguably my biggest headache. At the moment, our two times are 9:30am and 11am. It has been the practice here to switch service times EVERY WEEK! Starting in January, we will be switching monthly. Still looking for a GOOD solution.
That's time to sleep in and laze about (which we do every day but some families have only this day to do so) ; time to get kids ready; time for disabled and elderly to warm up their limbs enough to dress; time to walk so that we're not killing the earth driving to our caring church; time to grab a wondercoffee before the service.
PLUS! Perfect timing to be followed by potluck or fundraising lunches every week.
I always used to think 11am was a good time, too. You're not so rushed in the morning and then you come home or go out for lunch afterwards.
But now that I have kids, I find a 10am service seems better because we're up so early anyway it gives us something to do without waiting around all morning.
We start our service at 10:30. The service often goes for 1 1/2 hours, depending on special occasions or when the minister gets sidetracked in his sermons :-)
I like this time because although I still have a chance to sleep in, it doesn't extend into the afternoon. It's still convenient if people want to get together for lunch after the service and there's still the afternoon to plan activities.
I have friends on Sunday shift work and even our 9:00 a.m. service is too late for them. I experimented with Sunday evening, but it was hard to drag myself out of the house for that one on a regular basis. Same for Wednesday evenings (hump day). Anyone experiment with Saturday evening?
there's never a 'best' time for anything... over the years we have tried lots but have finally settled on 10am Sunday morning... we can sleep in a little and still have time for fellowship and/or lunch after church without messing up folk's afternoon. What messes us up out west here is when the football games play in the east and they start so early for us here :)
Our pastoral charge serves two communities with one srvice starting at 9:45 a.m. and the other at 11:00 am, I attend the early one and find it best for myself as it leaves the majority of the day free.
Some churches in our area are trying Thursday evenings as we live in a large cottage area and people are at the lake on weekends, I'm not keen on this one, it wouldn't be Sunday without church.
Some people have to work shift work and can't be there every Sunday, but try to attend wheh they can, it tahes a bit of effort on everyones part to make time for worship service, but I think the effort involved is well spent.
I have 3 churches who were used to sharing only 2 services a Sunday (one church would go without any church at all one week). I introduced a 3rd service time at 9:30 (final service is at 7:00 PM) so that all 3 churches would be able to worship each and every Sunday, on a 3-week rotating schedule so that every church gets equal opportunity for worship. None of them wanted an afternoon service; fine with me, as I frequently do special services at hospital, prison, and rest homes during that time. But wouldn't ya know it? Almost everyone prefers 11:00 AM. I even know of some folks who will go to 11:00 and no other, just because that's what they've always had.
No matter what time you try, your pews will never be as full as you'd like them. But we keep on trying, 'cause every so often, it actually DOES work!

Economic growth and employment: regional disparities in the UE
AbstractOne of the main problems of the European countries is their small capacity to generate employment. This is an important point because of the social and human problems that it produces, which are more serious in the case of peripheral regions. In this paper, we make a comparative analysis of employment and economic growth among the main EU countries. We study the reason of the more reduced rates of employment in several EU countries. Then, we analyse the generation of employment in the European regions, especially in the peripheral ones which are the most affected by unemployment.

Return to story
Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social networking are changing the way people plan vacations and business trips.
In many cases, they're relying on the opinions of others they think have similar interests to make their buying decisions.
That's the latest in a long string of changes that Gloria Bohan, owner of Omega World Travel, has seen in the travel industry since opening her first office in Spotsylvania County in 1972.
And, true to form, she is already working on ways to integrate social media into her company, which now has more than 100 offices, 1,000 employees and
"You have to be willing to make changes," Bohan said in a phone interview from her Fairfax office. "You have to be willing to learn new products and adapt to new technologies."
That's an attitude that's served her well. Omega World Travel is now the largest travel agency founded, operated and majority-owned by a woman, as well as one of the top 500 woman-owned businesses in the United States.
Bohan was inducted into the Washington Business Hall of Fame in 2011 and named a Silver Winner for Lifetime Achievement in the Ninth Annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business for her accomplishments last year.
Not bad for a former teacher who was inspired to go into the business after taking cruises on the Queen Elizabeth 2 with her husband, the late Daniel Bohan.
They had their wedding reception and honeymoon cruise on the ship, and had followed relatives' advice to get one of the less- expensive cabins and then ask the purser for an upgrade.
"He said, 'So many people say that they're honeymooners, but I can tell you're for real,'" Bohan recalled.
Not only did he give the couple an upgrade, but the ship's newspaper wrote an article about the newlyweds.
"We were like little celebrities," Bohan said. "All of a sudden all of this glamour was hitting me."
The Bohans tried the same tactic on their second trip a year later, but it didn't work. Travel agents onboard, however, seemed to be having a great time.
"I looked at my husband at the end of the cruise and said, 'Those people were loud!' He turned to me, and I'll never forget this, said 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'"
Bohan decided to apply for a job at Fredericksburg Travel, the only travel agency in town, but the owners didn't have an opening for someone with no experience. Undaunted, she signed up for correspondence courses and investigated how to open her own business.
Omega World Travel got its start in an old stone building on farmland that is now the site of Spotsylvania Towne Center. Back then, it specialized in leisure travel, and customers would come into her office on State Route 3 to discuss plans and order plane tickets.
When airlines stopped paying commissions to travel agents in the mid-'90s, Bohan realized she had to find additional sources of revenue. She expanded into the business and government travel sectors, and embraced the Internet early on.
Omega World Travel created its own computer reservation system and was a pioneer in 24-hour customer service. Other innovations included introducing the concept of an on-site travel office at corporations, developing the field of business travel management, and creating ways to centralize billing and reporting electronically.
When Bohan and her husband, who was Omega's CFO, realized that nobody had developed a good booking engine for cruises, they bought the domain name cruise.com and created their own in 1997. It has since become one of the Internet's largest sellers of cruises.
"Keeping the company diversified is really important," Bohan said. "You have to look beyond having one type of service or product."
Investing in technology, diversifying her business and having an entrepreneurial spirit have been the keys to her success, she said.
"If I were to take one of them," Bohan said, "I would say that having an entrepreneurial spirit is the most important. I believe that people, once given an opportunity, can do great things."

Monday, June 2, 2014 – Wilmington, NC – Today, Live Oak Bank is hosting a send-off party for Jazzmin, an 11 year-old Make-A-Wish® child whose wish is to go to the Florida Keys to swim with the dolphins. It will be a highlight in her life, as she has been battling a genetic pancreatic disease since she was just 15 months old.
"A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their life-threatening medical conditions," expressed Janis Netherland, Director of Philanthropy in the Wilmington area for Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina. "With 200 kids scheduled to receive their wish this year, the support of companies like Live Oak Bank is critical to ensure these wishes are granted."
"We are so grateful to be a part of Jazzmin's wish," commented Laura Petty, Marketing Programs Manager at Live Oak Bank. "This is our second year being involved with this amazing organization that is making a difference in [...]

Falco has manufactured, supplied and installed a futuristic space shuttle style bench with solar powered LEDs to commemorate the first Dutch astronaut - Wubbo Johannes Ockels. Wubbo was born in Almelo, Netherlands, in March 1946 and participated in a flight on a space shuttle (STS-61-A) in 1985, making him the first Dutch citizen in space!
Last month Falco attended the Bike Week 2014 conference at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands at Hyde Park Gate in London. Bike Week is the UK's biggest mass participation cycling event for the second year running and provides a catalyst for encouraging people to use pedal power.
A Pocket Park (sometimes referred to as 'Parklets' or 'Mini Park') is an European concept aimed at bringing park-like features to urban areas such as towns and cities. These are usually small and bespoke and designed to fit in unexpected areas such as car parking spaces. A Pocket Park is effectively a scaled down version of a park, incorporating a number of key features such as cycle parking, seating, planters, trees and flowers. Although Pocket Parks are usually no larger than a few car parking spaces, they can however be designed to meet any bespoke shape or size and can accommodate a wide range of park or garden features. Pocket Parks are becoming increasingly popular in higher density areas where the lack of greenery and outdoor seating areas are virtually none existent.

Bike&Go is the newly launched Dutch style cycle hire scheme, based on the successful OV Fiets scheme in the Netherlands and recently launched in the UK by train operating company Abellio. The scheme is available to any operator or commercial organisation that wishes to operate a fully integrated cycle hire programme with full back office support and a full package of cycle parking infrastructure. The cycle stands and shelters are available through Falco and are approved by the operator.
Follow Falco's Pinterest page and see some of the innovative and inspiring products that we are designing, manufacturing and installing right now! Our page is full of unique and creative ideas that you can use to accentuate your street furniture, cycle parking or canopy design scheme.
Falco has donated a number of tools and equipment for the 'Together for Zambia' project, which focuses on young people living in Zambia who want to learn a trade in fabrication. Around half of Zambians are unemployed with more than 85% considered to be living below the poverty line.
Falco took to the skies last week by completing the design, manufacture, supply and installation of over 680 cycle parking spaces with FalcoGamma cycle canopies at the Airbus Aerospace Park in Filton, for Airbus UK Ltd. Working on behalf of contractor Miller Construction, the new cycle parking facility, spread across two sites, is part of a £70 million pound state-of-the-art engineering and technology campus.
Is the new FalcoCam the best design of cycle stand in the world to date? This week Cambridge City Council launched a trial of the new FalcoCam cycle stand to see if this was really the case. The original Falco design, developed in conjunction with the cycling team at Cambridge, incorporates as many of the features one could hope for in a cycle stand so that they provide maximum benefit to all; cyclists, all different types of bike and of course provides the Council with a solution to a number of on street issues.
This week saw the opening of the UK's largest CyclePoint cycle parking hub, with almost 1,000 spaces of mixed use cycle parking. The UK's hottest day so far saw the The Rt. Hon. Simon Burns MP, Minister of State for Transport and Member of Parliament for Chelmsford officially open Abellio's (train operator of Greater Anglia) new £680k CyclePoint at Chelmsford station.

Dwell's Sustainable Issue
Check it out. Surprisingly, given the subject, there is less attitude and tons of substance in this issue. The project for sustainability is humbling in its enormity, but the creativity caught between the pages of this 270 page magazine issue is inspiring. They have really worked for this. Crap, even the advertisements are good. Oh, and check out the website while you're at it. They're finally getting a bit more webby.

What is the fellow doing in the photo? I really don't want to blow up the photo and check if he's doing what I think he's doing.

Watering can. Not porn-star material here...
This is an amazing issue. I read a lot of it yesterday. It's nice to see some original material in a shelter magazine-the expert's review of sustainable flooring options was really informative (bamboo is so trendy!) and the cover home made me want to move to Spain. Hydroponic rooftop garden wth volcanic rock? Awesome!
he's watering his sod roof. from the brown color, it looks more like a sAd roof to me.
Finally, the Dwell website is doing something. I just clicked a little and there are lots of pix.

Where You Can Get Free Online Computer Backup
Before spending any money, I like to browse around and see if I can find something similar, maybe even better, for free. I looked through A LOT of remote backup services, but none of them were on par with Carbonite. However… I did manage to find some that were worth checking out.
These are the best of the bunch, with all of them offering online storage space for your backups, and most of them offering a handy desktop software to help make backing up easier.
Mozy Free
Mozy Free offers 2 GB of secure online backup space for free. And with their automatic backup software, scheduling your backups is simple. You even get to use their Mozy Stash file synchronization and iPhone and Android mobile apps.
IDrive Basic
IDrive Basic gives you 5 GB of free online storage space for your backups. This free plan supports all features of IDrive! So you can try out their file sync, back up multiple devices, manage your backups from any web browser, and of course, have all your files backed up automatically as soon as they are changed.
ADrive offers a whopping 50GB of free online storage. The catch with ADrive is that you really only get the free storage space – you don't get a fancy automatic backup program to go with it and manage everything for you. Still though, 50 GB free is great, so I don't mind manually uploading some files through their website now and then.
Dropbox starts you out with 2GB of free space, and if you can get some of your friends to join in the fun, you can end up with a total of 18GB free storage space! And unlike with ADrive, you can simply drag and drop files into your "dropbox" right on your desktop – no need to open the web browser.
Gmail Drive
One last option, which is quite interesting, is the GMail Drive. Simply put, it lets you use a Google GMail account as a hard drive for file storage. The software is free and GMail is free (for about 3 GB of storage space!)
Of the options listed, IDrive Basic and Mozy Free get my top recommendation. These companies, along with Carbonite, should withstand the test of time, which is vitally important since you're relying on them!
I mean, just look at this list below. These companies tried to give away free online backup but just didn't have what it takes.

During each day the children encounter a variety of working experiences, sometimes being taught as a whole class, a small group or individually.
The teachers provide a stimulating and attractive working environment, and through carefully planned lessons, interesting displays and visits, they aim to ensure the children receive a rich, relevant and balanced education which is appropriate to their needs.
Pupils who have Special Educational Needs will have an Individual Education Plan which will be reviewed with parents on a termly basis. Children who have been identified as being exceptionally able will receive a suitably challenging programme predominately through extension activities.
The Governors' Statement on the Curriculum
The governing body have agreed a Curriculum Policy, which describes the curriculum as all the learning and experience which schools provide for pupils, ensuring that they have opportunities to grow in:
Knowledge and understanding
Competence in a wide range of skills
Personal qualities, values and attitudes
This Curriculum Policy is available on request.
The National Curriculum
The National Curriculum for children aged 5-16 was introduced in Autumn 1989 and is obligatory under law for maintained schools.
The National Curriculum includes Mathematics, English, Science, Information Technology and Religious Education as well as History, Geography, Design Technology, Music, Art and Physical Education. Our policy statements, which outline the areas for learning in each of these subjects, are available for parents to see and copies are available on request.
Each subject contains a number of attainment targets which cover a range of knowledge, skills and understanding at different levels. The levels children achieve will vary according to their individual stage of development in each area of the curriculum.
Teachers are continually assessing children's work and their achievements and progress are recorded in their individual pupil profile. Assessment Weeks are held in October and February and a more formal assessment takes place at the end of Key Stage 1 (when the pupil is in Year 2), and at the end of Key Stage 2 (when the pupil is in Year 6). We have also chosen to undertake the optional tests available for pupils in Years 3, 4, and 5.
We explore and develop skills in English in many ways, through speaking and listening, reading and writing. We wish to help children express themselves clearly. We encourage them to find pleasure in reading, for information, for interest, for entertainment and for the extension of experience and insight that poetry and fiction of quality afford.
All English lessons involve activities based around VCOP (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation). In the Foundation Stage children talk part in a Big Talk where they are encouraged to discuss and contribute ideas on a particular subject. In Years 1-6, children increase their skills to complete a 'Big Write', where they write independently for a set amount of time.
Our prime aim in the teaching of reading is for children to see being able to read as enjoyable and purposeful. We have a reference library where children develop study skills to select all kinds of information, books in individual classrooms which children regularly take home, as well as both silent reading sessions and class story times.
Pupils are taught to use a range of strategies, such as phonics, word recognition and grammatical knowledge to enable them to understand the meaning of a text.
In guided reading pupils experience a programme of books matched to their independent reading level, and in shared reading experience a range of more challenging texts.
In writing we focus on a real purpose and a real audience for writing. The curriculum offers a broad range of opportunities for using writing for learning; from recording scientific observations to 'publishing' a book for other classes to use as a resource.
The teaching of phonics, spelling and handwriting is used systematically to support writing and to build up accuracy and speed. In Key Stage 2 there is a progressive emphasis on the skills of planning, drafting, revising, proof-reading and the presentation of writing.
Speaking and Listening
Our aims in developing speaking and listening skills are to value the talk of each child, and to provide an atmosphere conducive to purposeful talk in order that children can become effective communicators. These skills are developed through drama, as well as cross-curricular activities which involve other subject areas, and are expressed in many ways, including assemblies and other presentations.
Mathematics is all around us and is involved in most day to day activities. A grasp of mathematical concepts will help children to understand their environment and will be a powerful tool in problem solving and in all areas of their lives. It will help them to communicate ideas and make predictions.
We aim to make mathematics an enjoyable experience, and so encourage in each child a positive attitude towards the subject. Children will experience a balance of practical, written, investigative, oral and problem-solving activities.
Science is a way of working whereby, using investigation, observation, evaluation and discussion, children learn to make sense of the world in which they live.
We aim, through interesting and enjoyable first-hand experiences to provoke children's curiosity and encourage an enthusiasm for finding out and explaining. They are encouraged to work co-operatively in planning, conducting and presenting investigations. These investigations are supported by demonstrations and the specific teaching of skills and knowledge which will enhance the children's ability to work through a problem.
Information Communication Technology (ICT)
Information Communication Technology concerns the use of computers and electronic devices to store and process information. It enriches the children's learning and promotes both individual study and co-operative group work.
We aim to help pupils become proficient in the use and understanding of computers so they develop the confidence to access, store and process information.
We have a Computer Room with 20 networked computers, all of which have access to the Internet and e-mail facilities. There is at least one computer in every classroom and children regard them as normal tools and are able to decide when their use is appropriate. They are always set up with the printer ready for use.
To enable children to develop skills in control technology they have access to a variety of equipment including a Roamer and turtle.
All classrooms have an Interactive Whiteboard with Internet access.
Religious Education
Religious Education encourages a reflective approach to living, knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs and practices, and a development of personal skills in forming reasoned opinions.
We do not intend to instruct or nurture children in a particular faith, but rather to educate them so they can make their own decisions. We aim to promote tolerance and understanding of all people, whatever their beliefs.
We follow the Oxfordshire Agreed Syllabus published in 1992 and in both key stages children will study Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Children should be aware of and respond to life experiences and the questions they raise, know about and understand religious beliefs and practices, and be able to express personal opinions about religious concepts, beliefs and practices.
We believe that RE plays a vital role in promoting the spiritual, moral and cultural development of pupils. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education if they so wish, but a discussion with the Headteacher is suggested before any decision is reached on this matter.
Work will be provided for children withdrawn from R.E. but they would generally be expected to work independently at this time.
History and Geography
Much of the work in history and geography will be planned to provide links with other subjects. For most of the time these elements will be taught as part of an integrated topic. A large proportion of the work undertaken by the children will have an investigative approach.
The past influences all aspects of our lives. It shapes the customs and beliefs of the communities to which we belong. Learning about the past helps pupils make sense of the world in which they live.
Visits and fieldwork are an essential part of our planning. By studying evidence, either first-hand through artefacts or visits, or second-hand through good quality books, children will ask questions, analyse information and communicate their knowledge and understanding. Children are given opportunities to develop, apply and reinforce the wide range of historical skills such as chronology, a sense of time and differentiating between fact and opinion.
Geography is concerned with the study of places and the people who live in them. It helps pupils make sense of their surroundings and the wider world.
The school encourages fieldwork using relevant real life, outdoor experiences wherever possible. Our approach to geography, sometimes using local issues, or contrasting localities in other parts of the country or world, enables children to reflect on their own attitudes and values and to gradually develop informed and balanced views of the world.
Design Technology
Design Technology encourages children to use their scientific knowledge, technical skills and understanding, to solve problems by designing and making good quality products from a wide range of materials. Much of this work will be planned to provide links to other curriculum areas. Often Design and Technology activities arise from a real need, but may also be based around stories, television programmes or other imaginary stimuli.
The children will need to be able to work both independently and co-operatively, and will be encouraged to use their initiative and think creatively. They will learn from one another, their teacher and other adult helpers, from the evaluation of their work, existing products, and from information books.
Through art children learn to work and respond independently and imaginatively in ways that can enrich their whole lives. In art and craft activities children are able to express themselves, and to develop their understanding and appreciation of the world around them. They come into regular contact with work of other artists from many cultures and traditions, and so begin to appreciate that art is the response of the individual to the world.
Children are given the opportunity to work with a wide variety of materials and techniques, including printing, painting, sketching, collage, claywork, textiles and modelling. They are taught the skills they require to use the various materials, but are also able to explore and evaluate by themselves.
Physical Education
We believe that physical education experienced in a safe and supportive environment is a vital contributor to a pupil's physical and emotional health, development and well-being. We aim to provide for pupils' increasing self-confidence through an ability to manage themselves in a variety of situations. The children experience a balance of individual and team, co-operative and competitive activities and through partner, group and team work we engender a sense of fair play.
In Key Stage 1 Physical Education will include: games, gymnastic activities, and dance. In Key Stage 2, it includes: games, gymnastic activities, dance, athletic activities, outdoor and adventurous activities and swimming.
There is a range of musical activities available to meet the needs and interests of all pupils. These include singing and percussion work in groups, classes or departments as well as musical appreciation.
We have peripatetic teachers who provide individual/small group wind instrument lessons for junior children. A charge is made for these activities.
Modern Foreign Languages
Children learn French from Year 3. This is taught by their class teacher using a structured programme.
Homework is one of the ways in which we seek to foster the active educational partnership between home and school. We believe that regular and well-planned homework can develop good work habits and self-discipline, encourage skills and attitudes which help children improve their educational performance, help parents gain an insight into their child's schoolwork, and assist preparation for future class work.
We ask parents to support our homework policy and a separate and detailed guide is available.
Key Stage 2 children swim on Fridays at Carterton Leisure Centre. During the year children will have 10 swimming sessions. You will be informed when it is your child's turn to swim. We ask for a donation to cover the cost of transport.
Children will require a swimming costume/trunks and a hat. County regulations insist that children are not allowed to wear goggles unless we receive a written request.
The school offers a wide variety of sports to all ages and abilities as part of the curriculum. These include football, netball, basketball, orienteering, tennis, rounders, cricket and other team games which encourages team-building. Each class receives one hour of training each week from a Sports Coach.
All the Key Stage 2 children have an indoor P.E. lesson every week and one outdoor session. Key Stage 1 pupils have two indoor sessions and go outside during the warmer weather. The full time Foundation Stage children have a 30 mins session with the Sports Coach each week.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Lawmakers are working to open doors in New York State; making it possible for adoptees to have access to their original birth certificate once they turn 18-years-old.
This new legislation would not only grant adoptees access to their medical and ethnic records, it would also help people hoping to reunite with their biological families.
On Monday, the NEWS CENTER told you the story of Denise Plath-Slattery and her search for her long-lost sister Lory. One of the main road blocks is what some call New York State's out-of-date adoption laws
On Tuesday, Assemblyman David Weprin announced his effort to change that.
Surrounded by supporters, he and other lawmakers introduced the "Adoptee Bill of Rights" and are hoping to get it passed during this legislative session.
The bi-partisan bill is currently stuck in the code's committee; but has 77 co-sponsors in the State Assembly, all that is needed to pass the bill. If passed, the bill would allow adoptees access to their original birth certificates and vital health records once they reach 18-years-old.
Opponents of the bill say passing it would violate the privacy promise to birth parents.
Denise and her sisters say that adults who were adopted should have access to their original birth certificates just like everyone else.

Everyone wants to touch it. No that's not a new Nicki Minaj club hit. It's the current way the tech wind blows. Fondle-friendly touchscreen tablets are multiplying. It seems a new contender enters the competitively turbid waters bi-monthly. Exaggeration, maybe! But you get the message. An army of slabs is mounting, collectively pointing their WiFi antennas at Apple's iOS darlings–and for good reason.
So the tablet trend is not slowing down. The days of the mouse might be numbered, but the merit of a good companion keyboard is hard to dispute. Enter the new Archos 101 XS Android tablet, the flagship slate from the freshly minted Gen X10 tablet line from Archos. It's sporting the delicious Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 Android OS, impressively thin form factor and an innovative companion keyboard/docking system. There are a slew of notable features, functions and software. So let's jump in with both hands for a scrutinizing caress.
Cranking under the hood, the Archos 101 XS tablet makes use of a OMAP 4470 CPU (dual core TI clocked at 1.5GHz) with a PowerVR SGX544 GPU (which is getting extremely long in the tooth -ed.) The dual core TI is the exact same processor in the Galaxy Tab 2 (OMAP 4430 clocks at 1GHz). Gaze at this sexy slim new slab through a nice sizeable 10.1-inch screen. Unfortunately glory is held at arms length with that paltry 1280 x 800 screen resolution. Users will also find 16GB of flash memory storage, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI-out and a 720p front camera.
All this comes together adequately when time comes to lay hands on the little sucker. Right off the bat, I commend the thin form factor. Not many tablets are this thin at the 10.1 screen size. The Archos 101 XS touts a 15% thinner design than the iPad 3 and weighs a meager 21 ounces (approx 2 human hearts). The Magnetic Coverboard is not bad either. While far from perfect, the Coverboard greatly expands the comfort options. Archos understands, some applications benefit heavily from a keyboard. The Coverboard gets ahead of this idea in a few key ways. The cover attaches magnectically and functions as a full QWERTY keyboard. It also shows ingenuity was at the helm conceptually, with the flip-up magnetic kickstand. It holds the 101 XS upright and simulates a laptop-style user experience. The Coverboard gets its juice from the tablet. However the QWERTY will charge the tablet when plugged into a power outlet with the included DC-in port. Close it all down and now the Coverboard pulls quadruple duty as a protective cover. It's smart, without question.
It also lacks elegance and style. The kickstand works efficiently and is clearly the work of careful planning. But something is off. It looks and feels rather clunky. I want it tucked away and out of sight. A sliding door to hide the kickstand might work. The plastics used also fall far short of sophisticated and… Why white? It only further intensifies the financially conservative construction. There are no striking lines or classy designs. Instead, we get a lot of obnoxious logos and a back surface that shows signs of DSH. The unit arrived with scuff marks–undoubtedly obtained in the box during transit. But more appear–as if by magic. It is the most masochistic device I think I have ever worked with. It's soft skin and homely appearance leave much to be desired, aesthetically.
The included applications and software make for valiant compensation. Again the OS is the most recent Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 with "Jelly Bean" around the corner this fall. One of the standout pieces is Office Suite Pro 6. It makes the keyboard sing many familiar tunes (Excel, Word, PowerPoint and all). There are several top grade games on deck, such as Fruits Ninja and Spider Man.
On the Marketplace, Archos offers a thing called the Archos Remote app. Download this on your Android phone to remotely control your Archos 101 XS or… Download and install the app on your Archos 101 XS to control your phone or other Android device of choice. The app is intuitive and fun to use. Pair this with the included Media Center application and that HDMI-out for a great media experience. I connected the Archos 101 XS to a 27-inch LCD monitor via HDMI to stream movies and music from my computer over my home network. Now with the remote control app, I can have my Android mobile device take control of the 101 XS. It all took about 10min.Very snazzy!
But enough talk! Now I give you… Numbers! Yay!
As you see. The browser is among the fastest we've tested. Some have even seen higher averages. This little colorless puppy literally "surfs" the web with grace and speed.
Games performance is higher than the average. But the overachieving iPad puts the 101 XS to shame, if only numerically. That 61fps may seem far from the top competitor, but the performance is still hassle- and dip-free. There is very little noticeable drop in framerate while gaming and the screen keeps things sharp and as crisp as you would hope from the 1280 x 800 screen resolution. The 101 XS is a fine gaming tablet. I should also note, when pushing 1080p within a benching environment, the 101 XS averaged 39fps after 15 consecutive tests. Not too shabby at all!
The onboard 720 front camera takes decent enough pictures, I suppose. But we all know a tablet is hardly a conducive "soul stealer." The camera is clearly meant for video chat/conference calling, primarily. In this it is subpar. Video is noticeable blurry and not so smooth. I don't recommend it for lofty biz chats if you're looking to impress the overseas investor or the like.
Hey I like the Archos 101 XS. Yet, I can't recommend users pull the trigger now. The price just isn't competitive enough to offset its shortcomings. One of which is the battery life, in addition to what is stated above. The battery averages 4-hrs! That's a significant handicap for travel use. But this and the video chat issues could and should be touched up with firmware updates and such.
Still, it does much of what I want from a tablet and does it well. The UI is clean and intuitive, but not worth writing home. Browsing the internet should be like turning pages at this point and the Archos 101 XS offers one of the quickest browsers around. Wifi was flawless with no recognized connection losses. It handles the ubiquitous keyboard issue with useful innovation, if not style. All buttons and functions are easily accessible and responsive. But is it Early-Adopter worthy? You could definitely do worse. Fence-riders watch that wind, see which way it blows and keep your eye out for better solutions or a worthy price drop.
Editor Rating:
Bottom Line:
3.0/ 5.0
The Archos 101 XS does a lot right but it still needs time in the oven. There are some great ideas here and I understand the cost versus the expense of the selected components. But this one just isn't quite ready for its close up!
- Lightening fast web browser
- 4-in-1 Coverboard w/ QWERTY
- OfficeSuite Pro 6
- Competitive graphic crunching prowess
- …but not competitively priced
- Not ideal for video chat
- Not ideal for travel
- Design flaws

Zig Ziglar Motivates SBC Messengers
- Thursday, June 19, 2003
With his usual wit and style, acclaimed motivational speaker Zig Ziglar energized more than 7,000 messengers at the closing session of the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting at the Phoenix Civic Center.
Ziglar is a Sunday School teacher at the Dallas-area Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, where SBC President Jack Graham is pastor.
"Really all I do is paraphrase the Bible, throw in some funnies and tell some stories," Ziglar said. "God's Word even when paraphrased does not return void."
He was talking about every type of speaking engagement, Ziglar explained. Ever since he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior on July 4, 1972, Ziglar said he has made a point to share the Gospel in some fashion.
"From day one I have made it crystal clear where I was coming from," Ziglar said. "The reason I love to follow the Great Commission is because this is our business. It's the last thing our Lord told us to do. We need to be out there telling people about Jesus Christ."
Christian people -- who are on the winning side of the battle between good and evil -- often act as though they are losing the battle, Ziglar said. That's counterproductive for the cause of Christ, he added.
"We need to let people see in us something different," Ziglar said. "We simply must understand we need to take Jesus with us everywhere we go."
Ziglar described the personification of a Christian.
"Many people -- both Christians and non-Christians -- have a small image of what it is to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior," Ziglar said. "How can you not love, admire and respect somebody who practices the Golden Rule, follows the Ten Commandments, who takes seriously what Christ said when He said you should love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and you should love your neighbor as yourself? And the fruit of the Spirit comes in there somewhere. How on earth could you not love somebody and follow somebody who is following those rules?
"You've got to share the Gospel," Ziglar said. "Everything else we do is bells and whistles. Our job here on earth is to bring people to Jesus Christ. We need to be out there and we need to be telling people what Jesus is all about. We need to take the Lord with us to work because that's what we really need to do.
"People really want to hear the truth," Ziglar said. "They are starved for the truth, no question about it. We need to tell it with love, understanding and compassion, and build relationships along the way, particularly with those we are working with.
"Words alone may sometimes fail, so demonstrate to make the sale," Ziglar said, applying a sales motivation snippet he said he often uses. "Let your life be the witness to what the Bible is talking to us about."

Catoosa County in far northwest Georgia has become the site of the latest skirmish in the war over religion in public schools.
For six years or so, cheerleaders at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School have painted elaborate paper banners, adorned with Bible verses, through which football players have dashed at the outset of games.
For instance, recently, from Philippians 3:14: "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me in Christ Jesus."
After receiving a complaint, the Catoosa County school system cracked down. Reported the Chattanooga Times Free Press:
A school system statement released Monday said the message constitutes "a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution for signs with Bible verses to be displayed on the football field."
Those offended included the Rev. Brad Scott, a Republican activist who was LFO High's class president in 2004 — and who sent us the above photo, plus some others. A Facebook page has been

You may be interested in the Dream Logic Tarot, a collaborative project by Jay Gidwitz and Anthony Teth. I reblogged a quote that was illustrated with the Dream Logic Tarot's Lust - Strength card over at the Thelema and the Libri of Aleister Crowley blog, and thought you'd be interested in taking a gander at the actual ongoing project.
The 3 of Swords from Dream Logic Tarot
"I'm working on all 78 images for a deck of tarot cards in collaboration with occultist Anthony Teth.
The final images will also be available as fine art prints.
The imagery from tarot provides a rich landscape of archetypes.
The meanings of the cards are derived from platonic ideals, that ultimately every person can relate what a given card "means" to various points in their life.
Conceptually the meanings of the cards are at the perfect level of both generality and specificity that give Anthony and I both creative freedom, as well as a strong framework within which to work." [via]
The Tower from Dream Logic Tarot
"I have recently joined forces with the extremely talented artist, photographer and reality deviant Jay Gidwitz. Together we are currently embroiled in the creation of a fully functional deck of Tarot Cards, with each card being a digitally illustrated (and esoterically relevant) work of art. An instructional book is also in the works." [via]
You may be interested in the Oracle Tarot Deck, an original and complete deck by Lisa Chow.
"My curiosity was piqued when a book I was reading described the beautiful and intricate illustrations found on a deck of tarot cards. I found myself picking up a deck and studying the cards. I soon learned that many artists have interpreted tarot cards for themselves with their own unique spin and I figured I was up to that challenge as well." [via]
I mentioned the Tarot, Mystics and the Occult Exhibition previously. I just noticed an announcement that pre-orders for an actual tarot deck are now available. You may be interested in checking that out.
"We're printing a limited quantity run of The Light Grey Tarot to accompany our Tarot, Mystics and the Occult Exhibition (Coming to Light Grey Art Lab October 19).
Each 78-card boxed set of the Light Grey Tarot comes with a 32 page guidebook that walks through all of the meanings, symbolism and details of each card, plus instructions on how to read several classic Tarot spreads. The cards are approximately 2.75 inches x 4.75 inches (nice and tall!)" [via]
