Phonic reading test 'passed by 58%'
Related Articles
Published: 27 September 2012
The reading test taken by pupils at the end of their first year of formal schooling (Year 1) is based on a system which focuses on sounds rather than recognising whole words, and has been promoted by ministers as the best way to boost reading standards.
National, regional and local authority results released by the Department for Education (DfE) show that 58% of six-year-olds reached the expected standard, and teachers have identified around 235,000 pupils who will now receive additional reading support from schools.
The department said 592,010 pupils in state-funded schools, including academies, took the phonics reading check in June this year; 2% of the pupils were disapplied.
Pupils are asked to sound out or decode a series of words, some of which are made up, to check their reading skill. The test has been criticised by teaching unions because of possible flaws and said it could do more damage than good. They suggested that including made-up words such as "voo", "terg" and "bim" will frustrate those who can already read and confuse pupils who have special educational needs, or those for whom English is a second language.
Plans for a reading test were announced by ministers last year, amid fears that youngsters with poor reading skills were slipping through the net.
The DfE said the check is a short, light-touch assessment of the phonic skills of pupils at the end of Year 1 that assesses their ability to break down and blend words using systematic, synthetic phonics, the internationally proven method of driving up reading standards, especially in children aged five to seven. It was piloted in June last year with around 9,000 children.
Independent evaluation of the pilot by the Centre for Education and Inclusion Research showed a positive response to the test from pupils and teachers, the department said. A total of 43% of pilot schools identified pupils with reading problems of which they were not already aware; 83% of teachers said the number of words is suitable; 80% said the type of vocabulary is suitable; and 74% thought the non-words used are suitable.
The results also show a slight rise in the percentage of pupils reaching the expected Level 2 across all areas of the teacher-assessed Key Stage 1 subjects: reading, writing, speaking and listening, maths and science.
Commenting on the Key Stage 1 results, Education and Childcare Minister Elizabeth Truss said: "I congratulate pupils, families and teachers on their hard work and achievements. The Government is committed to improving performance by raising expectations, giving new freedoms to schools and increasing teachers' professional responsibility."

10 Ways to Save More for Retirement
July 23, 2013
Key points
- If your risk tolerance is conservative to moderate, consider aiming for a portfolio that's approximately 25 times as large as your withdrawal during the first year of retirement.
- If you're behind on your retirement savings, your options include saving more now, spending less in retirement, retiring later and working part-time after you retire.
- Avoid ramping up your portfolio risk or assuming your investments will produce an overly optimistic rate of return.
If you're behind on your retirement savings, you aren't alone. Whether it's due to bear-market setbacks, getting off to a late start, or other reasons, a lot of people are trying to catch up on their retirement savings. Fortunately, there are plenty of actions you can take right now—and even after retirement—to help maintain a standard of living you're comfortable with. And in an era when traditional workplace pensions are disappearing and Social Security benefits may be reduced, your personal commitment to retirement planning and investing may be what makes the difference for you.
How much do you need to save?
If you're an investor with a conservative to moderate risk tolerance and you want to maintain your inflation-adjusted standard of living for 30 years, we suggest shooting for a portfolio approximately 25 times as large as your first-year withdrawal. This translates into roughly a 4% withdrawal rate in the first year of retirement, adjusted for inflation thereafter.1
That may sound ambitious, depending on how far you are from retirement, what you hope to spend and how much you've already saved. But the target above assumes a portfolio big enough to let you increase your first-year withdrawal each year for inflation with a high level of confidence that the money will last for 30 years. You may settle for a lower level of confidence, work longer or spend less. Or a combination of trade-offs could work as well.
10 ways to catch up on retirement (or make the most of what you have)
- Spend less and save more now. It's as simple as it is unpopular. Create a budget and put your expenses under the microscope. Earmark your next raise and/or bonus for retirement savings. You also may be able to consolidate loan balances into lower-cost, and potentially tax-deductible, forms of debt.
- Max out your 401(k) or other employer retirement plan, especially if you receive matching contributions. If you're age 50 or older, make catch-up contributions (see table).
- Contribute to a deductible traditional IRA or a Roth IRA, if you're eligible. People 50 and older can also make IRA catch-up contributions.
- Talk to your CPA about small-business retirement account options such as an Individual 401(k), SEP-IRA, Qualified Retirement Plan (QRP)/Keogh or SIMPLE IRA, if you're self-employed.
- Save extra money in personal taxable accounts, if you've maxed out tax-advantaged accounts.
- Spend less in retirement. We suggest you plan to need as much in retirement as when you were working, but you might be able to get by with less—especially if your mortgage is paid off, the kids don't move back in and you don't face dramatically increased medical costs.
- Postpone retirement so you have more time to try to build a bigger retirement portfolio and shorten the time you'll rely on savings. You can also increase your potential Social Security benefit by waiting to receive payments (up to age 70).
- Work part-time. Many retirees find they enjoy the social interaction and sense of purpose as well as the income.
- Consider tapping into your home equity as an additional source of retirement income. You may scale down to a smaller home in retirement and pocket the difference.
- Settle for a lower level of confidence that your portfolio will last. While we recommend aiming for a 90% chance of making your savings last, there's nothing magical about that number.
Words of caution
Be careful about ramping up portfolio risk to try to meet your retirement goals. Unless you were irrationally conservative to begin with, you can't suddenly make yourself more risk-tolerant. Also, shoot for a realistic rate of return—which may be lower than the returns that many of us have come to expect from our stock portfolios.
At Schwab, our long-term outlook on stock and bond market returns is significantly lower than the historical annual compound returns for the 1970-2012 time period, for two reasons. First, we expect lower-than-average inflation in the future. Second, while long-term interest rates may have finally risen from their historical lows, we still expect low interest rates to persist.
In order to cope with a low-rate environment, we recommend staying diversified and sticking with your long-term asset allocation plan to potentially maximize expected returns for your level of risk.
Over 50? Consider these catch-up options | ||
Account | Contribution limit (2013) | Age 50 or older additional catch-up amount (2013) |
401(k), 403(b), or 457 qualified employer plan | $17,500 | $5,500 |
Traditional IRA and Roth IRA | $5,500 | $1,000 |
Individual 401(k) | 20% of net self-employment income (or 25% of compensation) plus $17,500, up to $51,000 | $5,500 |
You can try crunching the numbers yourself with Schwab's Retirement Savings Calculator. Or, if you're a Schwab client, ask your Schwab consultant to help you put together a prudent retirement program. The important thing is simply getting started.

Apple asked to intervene in iPod story lawsuit
Apple Computer said Wednesday it was working to resolve a legal dispute over alleged labor abuses by iPod manufacturer Foxconn in China, the Associated Press is reporting.Hongfujin Precision Industry Co., a major exporter owned by a Taiwanese company, is said to be behind the recently reported defamation lawsuit against two journalists at the state-run newspaper China Business News, over stories alleging that workers on iPod assembly lines toil under harsh conditions for little pay.
On July 10, a Shenzhen Intermediate Court in the southern export hub of Shenzhen accepted the case and froze personal assets — including apartments, bank accounts and a car — belonging to the two journalists, Wang You and editor Weng Bao.
According to the AP, Chinese media and a journalists' advocacy group, Reporters Without Borders, immediately criticized the move and urged Apple, which has vowed to ensure fair treatment of workers at its suppliers, to intercede.
"Apple is working behind the scenes to help resolve this issue," said Apple spokesman Jill Tan.
Reporters Without Borders is also reported to have sent an open letter to Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, urging him to persuade Hongfujin's parent company, Taiwan-based Foxconn, to drop its case against the journalists.
"We believe that all Wang and Weng did was to report the facts and we condemn Foxconn's reaction," said the letter, signed by Robert Menard, secretary-general of the group.
Allegations against Foxconn first appeared in a June report by British newspaper, the Mail on Sunday. It alleged that factory workers were paid as little as $50 a month to work 15-hour shifts building iPods.
Apple immediately responded, promising a thorough investigation into the conditions at Foxconn.
In a report released earlier this month, Apple said it found the iPod maker to be in compliance in the majority of the areas audited. However, it did find some violations of its Code of Conduct relating to overtime, employee accommodations and administrative issues, that it pledge to immediately redress with Foxconn's help.

This past week, Rod posted a remarkable bleg over on the website of the American Conservative. Because Rod's premise is so arresting--he believes we've about reached the point at which good and decent people need to drop out of American society to form their own counterculture--and because Rod himself is such a sweet writer, I thought I'd re-post his bleg right here.
To wit:
You who have been following my work for years know that I keep coming around to this idea of the Benedict Option. In short, it means this: At what point do the conditions of moral breakdown and atomization become such that people who want to live out the moral life in community realize that they have to secede from mainstream culture in a serious way? The idea comes from MacIntyres final paragraph in After Virtue:
"A crucial turning point in that earlier history occurred when men and women of good will turned aside from the task of shoring up the Roman imperium and ceased to identify the continuation of civility and moral community with the maintenance of that imperium. What they set themselves to achieve instead
was the construction of new forms of community within which the moral life could be sustained so that both morality and civility might survive the coming ages of barbarism and darkness. If my account of our moral condition is correct, we ought also to conclude that for some time now we too have reached that turning point
This time, however, the barbarians are not waiting beyond the frontiers; they have already been governing us for quite some time. And it is our lack of consciousness of this that constitutes part of our predicament. We are waiting not for a Godot, but for another doubtless quite different St. Benedict."(continued)
(Excerpt) Read more at ricochet.com ...
I clicked on page 2-3, and it just re-displays page 1.
The first serious whiff of that way of thinking happened around the nation the day after Obama's 're-election'. Many people still want to carve some area out for themselves and likeminded individuals because the takers are fast out numbering the producers.
The schools, primary through graduate seem to value obedience and conformity over independence and originality. Society in general is working and twerking it's way to trash strewn bottom. So, yes, it's time to rethink our choices. Minor point; when I see the phrase 'Benedict Option', my first thought is to think of Benedict Arnold, who would be the antithesis of this kind of venture. That's just me needing to read more and broaden my mind.
Is this related to pope benedict?
Rod Dreher?
The eco-nut who called himself a "crunchy con"?
he is still around??
Oh, maybe it's 3 pages of comments?
This was predictable. When the freaks became mainstream the only way left to rebel was to be "normal".
Don't know. My main concern was : It's WRONG!
He was a long time center-left contributor to NRO, and an editorialist at the Dallas Morning News.
He always churns out a lot of words explaining what's wrong with this or that thing, then he churns out even more words explaining how Conservatives should respond so as not to upset the Democrats.
In this piece, Dreher suggests the cultural and moral decay in America is so bad that good people must withdraw and form their own community.
Then, he immediately rejects "radical separatism."
Dreher is perpetually searching for the golden mean between "too much" and "too little."
And he never finds it or clearly explains what it will look like.
Yes, in fact there are 3 pages of comments.
Missed that.
"my first thought is to think of Benedict Arnold"
This author should call it the "Saint Benedict Option".
Before Obama I was drinking 5-6 diet sodas a day and consuming maybe 2200 calories. Now I'm drinking only water and green tea, and am down to about 900 calories (and down almost 100 pounds so far).
Before Obama I didn't know a .22 caliber cartridge from a .308 .. now I'm much more knowledgable (and practiced) in this area.
Thank you Prez Obama for inspiring me to no longer be a sheep! Hopefully this country is becoming full of wolves!
Don't you know it's not polite to bleg, mate?
Seems like a Phariseeical approach.
Didn't they use to make wireless modems about ten years ago?
The monastic system has done exactly this for about 1700 years. Those who are monks and nuns set themselves apart from society deliberately. Most reform movements started in the monasteries as well.
In an inverse sort of manner, The Age of Obama has inspired me also. You have the right ideas though, like the Boy Scouts say; Be Prepared! Congratulations on your 100lb loss! Did I read that right?
Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.
Conservative "Sheep" Vote for Sheepdogs.
Liberal "Sheep" Vote for Wolves.
Wow! Congrats on your will-power and your ability to get in shape.
It hits home for me because I drink too much diet coke and I could stand to lose about 35 pounds.
I thought I was the weakest-willed person on earth .. but that was just the carbs exertiing their influence. (I broke the back of carb dependence by switching to fresh fruits).
No, it's only a one-page article. The comments go on for three pages. They are interesting. Looks like a good group over there.
The real congratulations should be for the amazing woman who has now entered my life. Truly my dream. It would not have happened had I remained the "sheep" that I was. :)
I've had much the same experience. Radicalized wolf.
Problem is you are one in a 1000 and i am one in a 1000 and you are there and I am here and there is a gulf of separation between us and all wolves.
To make any difference there has to be some sort of concentration of power.
You vote there and I vote here and ok...we did our bit but that voice is lost in the takers votes.
The internet helps, no doubt.
Obviously after the 2010 midterms, we know there are more wolves than thee and me. But I do not know how to effectively and realisticly harness the power of "Hell NO!"
In my opinion, Rod Dreher is the male version of Peggy Noonan. He has some very warm and earnest sentiments, and when he's writing about those, he's an extremely endearing writer.
On the other hand, he has hysterical moments, and then his writing is just ditzy. A quality they seem to share is the apparent belief that if everyone else simply felt (notice I didn't say "thought") as they do, everything would be wonderful.
And apropos of the posted article, this may be the first time I've seen the word "bleg," and I profoundly hope I never see it again.
Congrats, Mrs. Obama, at least, would be pleased with 1/2 your program. I'm just joshing around, I too need a program of personal transformation, so I truly do admire what you've accomplished.
Isolationists don't get much done nor do they wield much power over their surroundings or neighbors. Essentially this is a call to give up.
I haven't heard his name come up for while since he was laughed out of the room for his attempt to turn conservatives into eco-nuts and his term "Crunchy Con"
I'm going beyond trying to "change" things though, and am now largely focused on surviving that which may happen. Within 12 months I guarantee you I'll have purchased property and started providing employment in some nice, tropical location, and will be doing plenty of business (and fishing!) there. I've already picked the location (well, actually, my "mate" has).
Isn't it empowering, though, to go through this transformation? I spent years and years dreading to try to take the first step, and yet it was so easy, and the rewards are just insane. I'm glad to have you as a kindred soul! :)
BTW, I don't think I've mentioned it on this thread, but I have a book coming out in a couple of weeks entitled "When There is No FEMA" ... keep an eye open for it ... it is a book for wolves. :) (almost 3 years in the writing)
So, how can I help you start your transformation to "wolf"? Send me a private message if you like. We wolves need company, and if the transformation you need is similar to that which I needed then I'll be happy to share some positive thoughts.
Well, you see, he thinks of himself as conservative, and so if he's into health food, that makes it a "conservative" thing to do, and therefore everyone should do it. A person very confident of his own rightness about absolutely everything.
Congratulations, FRiend on your transformation. I've taken a couple of steps already. We're moving to a small town in north Florida before the end of this year. I now possess more firepower than I ever personally carried while in the Marine Corps, and, while I'm in surprisingly good shape for my sedentary lifestyle (I inherited really great genes) I want to be better in that regard, and will begin that transformation as soon as we have resettled.
Excellent - another wolf joins the pack!
Breakfast today was a bowl of cereal with almond milk. Lunch was 4 oz of Quinoa. Dinner was a protein shake. And a few chunks of melon before bed. And as I sit here typing this I feel the change - and it's really so very nice.
In my case I had to be patient, and strip away one behavior at a time. The last behavior I stripped away was changing my nighttime meal to a protein shake. I thought that would be difficult, but it was really no problem at all.
It's amazing the mental strength one finds ... there was a time I thought I had the weakest willpower on the planet.
Once again, welcome to the pack! :)

- Cooking Time: 0
- Servings: 4
- Preparation Time: 15
- 1 large papaya
- 3 cups banana slices
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1 lime
- Optional: any other fruit you like (pineapple, grapes, berries, etc)
- Optional: any other garnishes you like (shredded coconut, lime zest, mint leaves, etc)
- 1. Wash the papaya then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. You can discard them, or save them for another recipe (Papaya Seed Dressing)
- 2. Slice bananas and place half in each of the papayas. Dice up the avocado and again divide between the two papaya boats. Do this with any fruit you want to add to your papaya boat.
- 3. Sprinkle raisins and flax seeds over each boat. Squeeze one half of a lime on each boat.
- 4. Garnish as desired with any additional toppings. I like about 1 Tbs of fresh shredded coconut, as it is just enough to provide beautifying fats.
- The avocado makes it rich enough to be a light lunch; skip the avocado if you want a fresh side dish.
- Enjoy this good-for-your-skin treat!
The large papaya makes a beautiful presentation mode for these tropical treats. I love the versatility of this recipe - you can really use any fruits you like and any fun toppings that tantalize your palette!

Ok I've realized I can't afford the cyclone yet so after countless raves about the HF DC I'm going to bite the bullet. On a cyclone they recommend 4 to 5' of straight pipe out of the DC before any bends or tees, is that true with non cyclone DC's? |
4 replies so far
#1 posted 1178 days ago |
No one does that. The HF DC inlet is low and at a 45 degree angle (it's a Y). You either have a length of flex connected to it, or you have to do a 45 elbow combination trick to get it high. For a permanent install, I think you have a short pipe and a 45 to get vertical (or a small hunk of flex), a longer pipe, 2×45s to get horizontal, and then your main run, with Ys to your drops. |
#2 posted 1178 days ago |
A straight run before a cyclone is probably useful to reduce turbulence of the dust as it enters the cyclone chamber. It should reduce the chances of fresh dust mixing with the clean air being pulled out of the cyclone. All of the air (and dust) on the HF DC passes through the impeller. It does not matter what happens before the impeller, since everything will get mixed up as it passes through the impeller. -- Steve |
#3 posted 1167 days ago |
make sure you rum large enough steel pipe, 26 guage if possible,but in any case make SURE it is well grounded. wood dust is explosive so you want to avoid sparks |
#4 posted 1159 days ago |
Steve has a great points in that on a cylcone it's dust turbulance to avoid. The straight run is not critical on a two stage. If you get the non-cyclone DC, keep the 90 degree turns to a minimum if none…that's best. Use two 45 degree elbows for any turn and keep the sharp turns to a minimum. I only used 4" throughout for the HF, but it may support larger. The HF 2HP DC with the bag upgradde worked for me for a number of years. I needed to rework the DC pipe when installing a cyclone….that was to get the straight run to the cyclone and increase the size of the DC pipe. |

SKAGIT AUDUBON HIKINGDecember 2013By Joan Melcher |
Hikes continue in December with 4 hikes scheduled. Hikes may be canceled or destinations changed due to weather, logging, construction or unforeseen circumstances. A hike will be canceled if there are high wind warnings, flooding conditions, or snowy or icy road conditions, or forecasts of heavy rain. All the hikes are on a Wednesday EXCEPT FOR THE DECEMBER 26th HIKE WHICH IS ON A THURSDAY. Note: The JANUARY 2, 2014 HIKE IS ON A THURSDAY also. Questions? Contact JOAN MELCHER, 360-424-0407 or e-mail at email@example.com
Dogs are discouraged on Audubon-sponsored hikes. If dogs are on a hike, they must be on a leash at all times.
WED. – DEC. 4 EAST SHORE of LAKE WHATCOM or STEWART MOUNTAIN
1. East Shore of Lake Whatcom This hike is a fairly level hike among trees beside the east shore of Lake Whatcom. It is 6.25 miles round trip with little elevation gain.
2. Stewart Mountain This hike begins in the same area as the East Shore of Lake Whatcom hike, but it goes up hill on the new Beke Trails and on the power line road. Most of this hike is on trail. It is a 5 mile round trip.
For both hikes, meet at 9 a.m. at the new Chuckanut Drive park-n-ride lot. This lot is on the east side of I-5, off Exit 231 of I-5. Car pool according to which of the two hikes you plan to do. You may leave when all in your car are safely back to the trailhead.
Hike on trails at Sharp's Park, Pass Lake, Rosario, and Bowman's Bay. The hike is up to 10.7 miles with a 1,000 ft. total elevation gain. Meet at 9 a.m. at Sharpe's Park trailhead off of Rosario Road south of Anacortes. Parking is limited at Sharpe's Park so please car-pool if possible. Joan will shuttle anyone who wants to walk between Sharp's Park and the park access off the Ginnett Road and, at the end of the hike, from Rosario up to Sharp's Park. Contact Joan Melcher (see above) if you need driving directions to Sharpe's Park. Joan's last shuttle will leave Rosario at 2:30 p.m. A Washington State Discover Pass is required for your vehicle, if you park in Deception Pass State Park..
Take some time out from a busy pre-Christmas week and spend the morning walking from the Breazeale Nature Center south along the Padilla Bay dike and back, an easy 6.7 miles. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Breazeale Nature Center in Bayview. Leave when you return to your car.
Hike 8 miles round trip on the Centennial Trail in northern Snohomish County from the Nakashima Barn trail head just south of the Skagit/Snohomish County Line to Bryant and back. The big red Nakashima Barn, the large parking area, and the trail head are on the west side of Highway 9 near milepost 37.2. From I-5 take Exit 212, the Stanwood-Bryant exit, go EAST on the State Route 532 to Bryant. At Highway 9 turn LEFT and drive north a few miles to the Nakashima Barn and trailhead which will be on your left. Meet there at 9 a.m. You are free to leave when you return to the trailhead.
Spend part of a short day-light day at Dugualla State Park, a little-known park north of Oak Harbor. The park's several miles of trails meander through an alder grove, a wetland area, and offer a more challenging, steep trek to a secluded beach. Meet at Dugualla State Park at 9 a.m. From SR20 traveling from the north, turn left onto Sleeper Road. Continue on Sleeper Road approximately 2.6 miles until it dead-ends at a metal gate. If you do all the loops, there are 6 miles of trail with a 500 ft. elevation gain.
A Washington State Discover Pass is required for your vehicle.

FIA jumps the gun on Hulkenberg's Lotus seat
The FIA appears to have got ahead of itself whilst organising the press conference schedule for this weekend's Singapore grand prix.
Nico Hulkenberg is hotly in the running to fill the Ferrari-bound Kimi Raikkonen's race seat for 2014, but the deal is far from done.
In its press release to inform journalists about the press conference lineup for Thursday in Singapore, however, F1's governing body listed German Hulkenberg as appearing for 'Lotus'.
The error was quickly recognised and fixed.
Also under consideration for the Lotus race seat next year is the Ferrari refugee Felipe Massa.
When asked specifically about his contention to replace Raikkonen at Lotus, Hulkenberg told the Munich...

Dalton State College's reborn athletic program found three coaches for its men's basketball team, tennis program and competitive cheerleading squad all with Northwest Georgia ties.
For his latest hire, Roadrunner's Athletic Director Derek Waugh went international.
Brazilian native Bruna Langner, a three-time NAIA All-American at Lee University and an assistant coach at the school in Cleveland, Tenn., was announced on Monday as Dalton State's women's volleyball coach.
"Bruna's pedigree as a player and a coach helped her cause but you do not hire people just on the basis of who they have been associated with," Waugh said in a press release from the college. "We think she is a great fit because she is intelligent, enthusiastic and loves the game of volleyball.
"She also has numerous local contacts and is very well-connected internationally. We are excited to have her on board and once our funding is competitive with other teams nationally, I have no doubt she will have our team competitive nationally."
Langner, a native of Curitiba, Brazil, played for the Flames for four years and was the Southern States Athletic Conference Player of the Year and the NAIA Region XIII Player of the Year in 2006. During her playing years, Lee made four straight appearances in the NAIA national tournament, and the middle blocker is the school's all-time leader in blocks.
She is in the top 10 in four different statistical categories for the Flames and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in November.
"I am super excited, and I know everything will start with recruiting," Langner said. "I will try to find the best girls that I can, and we will definitely concentrate on Georgia and Tennessee.
"I know a lot of coaches and programs, and we will also look at some junior college kids. We need experience."
The Lady Roadrunners will begin play in 2013 but will not be eligible for postseason play until 2014.
After her playing career came to an end, Langner spent a year as a graduate assistant while getting her masters degree in education from the University of the Cumberlands. After another year as a grad assistant at Lee, she was hired to the staff and has been an assistant to coach Andrea Hudson for the last five years.
The Flames recently concluded their 11th overall appearance and fifth consecutive trip to the NAIA national tournament. Lee University finished the season with a 30-11 mark and will jump to NCAA Division II next season.
Langner joins tennis coach Michel Bates, cheerleading coach Robyn Newell and men's basketball coach Tony Ingle. The school is still seeking a golf coach for teams for both men and women. The school is also planning men's and women's cross country.
The volleyball team will call the school's Bandy Gymnasium its new home as the more than 40-year-old facility will undergo a projected $425,000 renovation. Announced in November, the renovation will include new wood flooring and replacement of the bleachers, ceiling and lighting. The venue's entrance also will be enhanced. Waugh said the new facility will hold between 300 and 400 spectators, which he called "perfect" for volleyball. It also will be the basketball team's practice facility.

Roadrunners stay hot with road win
The Dalton State College men's basketball team led by five at halftime and by as many as 14 in the second half as the Roadrunners rolled to their 11th victory in 12 games with a 76-68 win Saturday night at Hiwassee College in Madisonville, Tenn.

Influence of heavy modes on perturbations in multiple field inflationAdd to your list(s) Download to your calendar using vCal
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Camille Bonvin. We investigate linear cosmological perturbations in multiple field inflationary models where some of the directions are light while others are heavy (with respect to the Hubble parameter). By integrating out the massive degrees of freedom, we determine the multi-dimensional effective theory for the light degrees of freedom and give explicitly the propagation matrix that replaces the effective sound speed of the one-dimensional case. We then examine in detail the consequences of a sudden turn along the inflationary trajectory, in particular the possible breakdown of the low energy effective theory in case the heavy modes are excited. Resorting to a new basis in field space, instead of the usual adiabatic/entropic basis, we study the evolution of the perturbations during the turn. In particular, we compute the power spectrum and compare with the result obtained from the low energy effective theory. This talk is part of the Cosmology lunch series.

Here's a pic of my new auto filler. It's not quite done as I still have to put some rubber feet on it and I was thinking of a rubber or cork base for the bottles. Flat black isn't the best color but I had a can of it on hand. It adjusts to fill the extra tall bottle down to beer bottles & 375 size bottles. This weekend I'll have some time to test it with the vacuum pump and water. Once I get that working well I have 3 carboys to empty.
Thanks, Rob ------------------------------------
That is so cool. I like the large base also as it has to be clamped down when bottling. So what do you think your total cost will be minus the pump and over flow bottle. I know those heads are very expensive to as I had to replace part of mine due to OE.
DanIt all started here...See what's happening in my cellar! Presque Isle Wine Cellars Web Site for all your Wine Making Supplies "Like" Presque Isle Wine Cellars on Facebook
That's really neat, Rob. Would love to see it in action. Nice job.
Thanks! I will do a little video of it when I get it going.
Rob did you get your head from St Pats?
Rob it turned out great. See it turned out without me giving you an exact pattern. Dan those heads aren't that expensive from St. Pats. The stainless ones are but the plastic ones are reasonable.
Rich your right. It was because I had to get the whole $55.00 unit instead of what I broke is why I was thinking it was. I may have been able to get the parts but I was ready to bottle and didn't want to mess around if the parts weren't right. I can't believe the stainless is like $300.00 more.
Definitely interested in seeing some pics of this in action plus cost!

Great job Rob! Wow, that model has a long filler huh!
Very nice Rob. If you have access to any vinyl you might want to put a round piece where the bottle sits. That area will get scratched up real quick, at least it is with the wooden one that I made.

Mandela And Passing The Baton
December 6, 2013 By David Matthew Brown Leave a Comment
This morning I was struck by a parent who spoke at my daughter's school. He grabbed the microphone and brought up Nelson Mandela with the kids and adults. As he spoke he began to hold back his tears, "Ask your parents about him kids, Nelson Mandela spoke to us about self-respect, dignity, peace, and living together." Then the parent put the microphone down, and the kids sang, "Lean On Me." There wasn't a dry eye in the house this morning. Men and women crying. I can not speak for you, but I … [Read More...]

I remember being in school years ago and having a moment of, "Oh this is it." It felt refreshing, uplifting, and a relief. No sooner did I acknowledge the truth, the mind came pouring in, "Oh great this is it! Really? This is boring, lets go do something..." At the time the mind brought up some great arguments on why this can't be it. So good in fact, I left the moment to go fill it up with more somethings, to cover up the feeling of loss. Loss? Yes loss. Once the acknowledgment happened … [Read More...]

I woke up this morning and went for hike up in the hills by Griffith Park Observatory. If you are ever in Los Angeles I would recommend a trip over to Griffith Park Observatory.

The Power Of The Heart
November 22, 2013 By David Matthew Brown Leave a Comment
As many of you know, I am considered a Heartspirational Speaker and coach. I help people live from their heart. The process is quite uplifting, dramatic, and inspiring to be a part of. You might say, "I am a midwife to the heart". Because dropping into the heart from the mind is the process. But the rewards are incredible. Such as living more present, random acts of giving, loving, compassion, kindness, and you stand in your worth. When you stand in your worth, you no longer are a door mat for … [Read More...]
Stepping Out
November 15, 2013 By David Matthew Brown Leave a Comment
Stepping out By David Matthew Brown As we move inward, and explore what we are, we begin to see that authentic love is not what we thought it was. We told ourselves that love was an idea, a concept of utopia, but come to discover that love is much more then a limited vision. We thought if we loved enough, followed the rule of being good children, we would be given a golden ticket in the afterlife, yet that is not the case. We were told that love is a door mat, that love turns its head, that … [Read More...]

We have 7 billion people on this planet. And all of them are special. I am not speaking to gifts, athletic abilities, but to the core of each of us. Since most us don't feel into ourselves, we spend a lot of time separating ourselves from people. We use tools called judgment, and criticism when we want to be special. That kind of specialness is driven from fear, I am speaking to the innate specialness that no body can take away from you. It is part of the reason we rush to church, spiritual … [Read More...]

Health officials: Worst of flu season may be over
Flu responsible for 59 deaths in children
NEW YORK (AP) — The worst of the flu season appears to be over.
The number of states reporting intense or widespread flu dropped again last week, U.S. health officials said Friday.
The season started earlier than normal, spiking first in the Southeast and then spreading. But now, by some measures, flu activity has been ebbing for at least four weeks in much of the country. Flu and pneumonia deaths have been dropping for two weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
"It's likely that the worst of the current flu season is over," CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said in an email.
It's been nine years since a conventional flu season started like this one. That was the winter of 2003-04 — one of the deadliest in the past 35 years, with more than 48,000 deaths. Like this year, that season had the same dominant flu strain, one that tends to make people sicker.
But back then, the flu vaccine didn't protect against that bug, and fewer people got flu shots. The vaccine is reformulated each year, and the CDC has said this year's vaccine is a good match to the types that are circulating. A preliminary CDC study showed this year's version is about 60 percent effective.
So far, the season has been labeled moderately severe.
The government does not keep a running tally of flu-related deaths in adults, but has received reports of 59 such deaths in children. The most — nine — were in Texas, where flu activity was still high last week.
On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC.
Flu vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months or older.

Neil Celani: A Voice in Clay
Clay has seemingly endless possibilities. With constant repetition, it can be pushed, shaped, and molded into a myriad of pottery pieces. For ceramic artist Neil Celani, each object that passes through his hands exposes the fragile, volatile, and serendipitous nature of the ceramic process. Since his graduation from the University of Northern Colorado in 2007, he has been making functional pottery, such as vases, bowls, and plates.

To the Editor:
As a former senior South African Government official assigned the task in the 1960's and 70's of countering sanctions, and having recently completed a doctoral dissertation on the political and economic effect of United States sanctions against South Africa, I find myself on middle ground between Anthony Lewis ("Help From Outside," column, May 6) and Herman Nickel ("South Africa Sanctions Didn't Undo Apartheid," letter, May 15).
Mr. Lewis has ample reason to state that sanctions played a significant role in the demise of apartheid.
He singles out, with sufficient justification, George Houser's American Committee on Africa as having played a significant role in making sanctions stick. As early as the mid-50's the committee had recruited the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other luminaries to the anti-apartheid pro-sanctions cause in a campaign that eventually culminated in the adoption of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act by Congress in 1986.
Mr. Nickel, former United States Ambassador to South Africa, is equally justified in arguing that the "sanctions of the markets" may have had a more debilitating effect than officially imposed sanctions. But United States banks and other businesses pulled out of South Africa not out of their own free will, but under severe pressures from the American Committee on Africa and other anti-apartheid groups -- and, ultimately, the growing threat to their domestic business as Federal, city and state sanctions were adopted.

Opening of EcoMobility Festival
September 2, 2013 2 Comments
Today on September 1 was the opening of EcoMobility World Festival in Suwon. When I arrived there at 5 pm, the festival was already in full swing. There was a large stage in front of the Haenggung Palace. It was so amazing to see the result of months of constructions and planning. Someone told me that the last construction sites finished in the night. There was still a smell of fresh asphalt in the air.
The main road outside the neighborhood is also partially closed. Only buses and taxis are allowed to drive on the lane towards south, the other lane was open was all traffic and the rest was kept free of traffic. I'm not sure if it's going to be the whole month like this because it is a very important street in Suwon with a lot of traffic.
Here's one more picture of the new division:
On the side of the festival area youth volunteers were rehearsing a dance:
I would like to know what this car driver thinks about this festival…
I took a quick walk through the neighborhood and I was impressed. That's how 9 million Euro (13 million KRW) are used in a very efficient way. Here are a couple of pictures from the transformed neighborhood:
Visitors walked through the car-free streets of the neighborhood and they enjoyed it obviously!
I especially enjoyed the love for details. For tourists, there are some nice places to take pictures:
Not everyone knew the area before and so the event organizers put up a lot of before-after pictures.
Today the main attention was directed to the stage but in the next weeks there will be activities inside the neighborhood. Today the food street (a former parking place) was empty.
Do you remember the restaurant which was famous among taxi drivers? They had no customers at all! That's very sad.
The event organizers designed special coupons for the area. Visitors can purchase them at a booth on the festival area and then get discount in every local restaurant which takes part in this program. It's a great idea and it should help to get more customers.
Back at palace plaza I saw the congress hall, where on the following days an international conference on sustainable transport will be held.
Next to the congress hall, there was a exhibition hall with many kinds of bicycles :
Landscape architects released their creativity in front of the congress hall:
Companies related to cycling or international organizations had the possibility to reserve a booth in Suwon. It was a nice balance between them.
At around 6:30 pm the official opening begun. Here you can see the international visitors, who are high-ranked names in the field of transportation.
I didn't stay for the whole opening ceremony. I rather enjoyed walking through the streets. However at the beginning of the ceremony they performed the beginning of 'Les Miserables' but instead of expolited prisoners, they sung about the slavery of car-use. This was very funny.
The neighborhood came alive! The absence of cars wans't strange at all. Restaurants and cafe shops can put up tables outside. Pedestrians can enjoy the area better. Here you can see how the owner of this place shows off his singing skills.
In short, ICLEI and the city of Suwon have done wonders without magic. They simply removed all cars from an area and they came up with a great entertainment program during this time. This attracts a lot of visitors and they will indirectly learn a lot about sustainable transport. On this first day, around 5000 people visited the festival and I hope that the number will increase during the following weeks.

We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.
Jerry Pournelle
Knowledge has three degrees-opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.
Knowledge has three degrees -- opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.
The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.
Albert Einstein
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
Stephen W. Hawking
Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
Bertrand Russell
False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.
Charles Darwin
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Albert Einstein
The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief ... that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.
Walter Lippman
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Henri Poincare
No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.
Thomas Huxley
They (preachers) dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight and scowl on the fatal harbinger announcing the subversions of the duperies on which they live
Thomas Jefferson
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein
Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world.
Polykarp Kusch
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Thomas H. Huxley
Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.
Ben Shneiderman
Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.
Senator John Kerry
A modern poet has characterized the personality of art and the impersonality of science as follows: Art is I: Science is We.
Claude Bernard
The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler
Edward Teller
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual
Galileo Galilei
A science is any discipline in which the fool of this generation can go beyond the point reached by the genius of the last generation.
Max Gluckman
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement

Top Shy Quotes
In school I was pretty quiet. Kinda shy until my junior year. But at home I was a freak.
Dane Cook
Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday.
Michael Jackson
I'm shy and can't for the life of me barge around and slap people on the back. I sit in a corner by myself and am tickled to death when someone comes over to talk to me.
Alan Ladd
I think I'm a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybody, I have a set of criteria for reading poems, and I'm not shy about presenting them, so if people ask for my critical response to a poem, I tell them what works and why, and what doesn't work and why.
Diane Wakoski
It was an interesting process trying to get Bob to talk about the film because he's such a shy person. He generally likes to talk when he really knows he has something to say.
Jay Roach

I'm blonde and tanned and normal-sized! I'm sweet, shy, funny, have a big heart and I'm nice - and I like to eat.

I think the main problem we are trying to deal with is the economy, or I certainly hope so. When I purchased my home in 2005, there were loans out for people with no down payment and no jobs to purchase a home. Not being an economist and being barely able to balance my checkbook (love online banking they do that for you) I do have common sense and I knew it wasn't a good thing. Greenspan evidently did not read the American history books. They needed to regulate businesses simply because they would not regulate themselves. Hello. To think the business mind has evolved any further than padding their own pockets is insane. Tickle down economics equaled trickling the money out of the country. Result: Americans losing their jobs and the CEO's still pulling a paycheck. Imagine that.
