I like Italian pens. Italian brands dominate my wants list. I only own five, four Auroras and a Stipula.
The Talentum is a cartridge converter pen which sits midway up the Aurora range. This model in Red with Chrome trim is particularly handsome.
The nib is 14K Gold nib plated with Rhodium trim. It is labelled a medium but runs slightly finer and like most of my factory Aurora nibs it has a slight tooth.
A very classy bottle, very minimal in looks but not in price. Saying that it was the cheapest thing in the Louis Vuitton boutique is not much comfort.
Its turns out that this ink is pretty good - I didn't know what to expect as reviews for this ink are pretty sparse. It is an interesting dark blue that shades somewhat. I will have try it in a broad nib at some stage.

Episode 73 - Darrell Evans
The only news we had to begin this episode was that the Braves' AAA team is now known as the Gwinnett Stripers, so we quickly got into our discussion of Darrell Evans. Bill James called him the most underrated player in baseball history. He was a quiet, unassuming third baseman who had a low batting average, but compensated with great power and a phenomenal batting eye. In 1973, he would have an incredible season for the Braves and was part of a good young core. Then, in 1976, he was traded after a slow start for Willie Montanez, who could hit .300, but not do much else. The trade, and many associated transactions, speaks a lot as to how the Braves ended up being so abysmal in the late 1970s.

I love small weddings like this one! A little apprehensive because of the rain, we were all unsure about how the day would play out... but in the end we had a lot of fun and took some great shots! We started with a limo ride uptown, a few romantics around the city, group shots at Marshall Park and then a fun dinner at Bonterra with a surprise visit from Panthers Coach Ron Rivera!
Congratulations Rhea & Jon!

Footfalls echo in the memory down the passage which we did not take towards the door we never opened.
— T.S. Eliot said that
a penny for your thoughts?
A lovely view of the front porch. I like that wicker chair and the door.
This reminds me of childhood in a small town when neighbors would sit out on the front porch and visit. I like the quote too.
I suppose that's why we often wonder what's behind the doors we see on some houses, Sherri??? Beautifully presented.
Totally true what you said and real American frontdoor you have recorded (for my idea?)
This looks very American to me. Over here very few people would have a flag outside their hose, except when England are playing football in the World Cup!
Is this a friend's house, sherri? Perhaps you have been through that door
aaah yes, the footfalls of our alternate universe selves that DID open that door…. beautil, sister
and that house sure does show the difference between da north and da south~
Superb composition. We have always choices to do so …some doors will never be opened !
Ah the ubiquitous stars and stripes just in case people forget what country they are in 🙂
An inviting porch
i like the way that yu framed the veranda Sherri…
great composition….peter:)

Sweetgrass: Great Golf at a Great Value
Issue: Fall Issue 2015
Sometimes we like to present golfing options within a day's drive of Chicago, and Sweetgrass Golf Club is located about 90 minutes north of Green Bay in the town of Harris in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Sweetgrass is owned and operated by the Hannahville Indian Community, Band of Potawatomi. It's rated one of the best courses in golf-rich Michigan and is an annual stop on the Symetra Tour. Designed by Paul Albanese, the course has a "Pete Dye" look and feel. Sweetgrass teams with Greywalls and TimberStone to provide a great golf experience without breaking your budget.
Sweetgrass' pro shop is located within the Island Resort and Casino, and the driving range and course are within walking distance of there. You'll find Sweetgrass to be a tough but fair and very well-conditioned golf course. Careful attention should be paid to each hole, as tee shot placement is important. The greens are large and reasonably undulated.
Sweetgrass has a stay-and-play package that is one of the best deals in golf. Golfers can play three rounds and stay two nights at the casino. The average price per round and room of $60 is exceptional considering all three courses are highly regarded and the Island Casino and Resort is an action-packed base camp.

So things have been a little crazy around here lately. This would be the reason why I haven't set "foot" on wordpress in what feels like weeks. You see, our sweet little nugget turned one on Saturday. So naturally I went above and beyond to see my ideas come to fruition in celebration of this boy. With T being deployed I knew that it needed to be special. More so for me, not really for M... while obviously it was his birthday, this Mama needed something to work towards to keep her mind off of the big, sad reality. Daddy was going to miss this milestone. BUT, thankfully, we have so many more birthdays and first for him to be here for, so we made the most of it and look forward to the future with lots of hope and joy.
Quite awhile ago I had decided that M's birthday just had to be camping themed. We not-so-secretly want our kids to grow up to be nature loving crunchy people who appreciate the beauty that surrounds them. So naturally we are thrilled that our kid loves to be outside more than anywhere else. I took that and ran with it.
My very first idea was little exploring sacks. Because I'm not the biggest fan of the word "sacks" (laugh if you must, but I really can't stand it... that and "jiggle"... ugh...) I decided to coin them "Exploring packs". I just had to see them become a reality and I'm so glad they worked out. The kids absolutely loved them and spent the end of the party asking, and then asking again how to tie up their goodies so they could go explore.
My other big job was displaying his monthly photos. If you know me you can understand how I couldn't just settle with hanging a few prints or displaying them in frames. No, that would've been the sane thing to do. For whatever reason I like to give myself insane amounts of work, causing me to stay up until all hours of the night. So having said that, I introduce you to my wood transfer photos. This is the second time I've done this method and I do believe after 12 transfers I figured out the trick to get a good print. The neat thing is I can keep these for a long time and use them around the house (if T will let me).
*Word of caution: maybe don't do so many at one time... unless you have someone else's willing fingers to help you rub. You can find the moderately helpful tutorial here. Please, please, please be sure to sand your wood very well before beginning. The smoother the wood the better the photo will turn out.
To save money while trying to stay away from plastic table cloths we took a trip to Ikea (where we also scored those awesome lanterns!) and found this amazing wood print fabric. It's truly amazing. Truly. I am pretty in love with it and can't wait to have our home back so I can see it every day on my own table. We also went to Hancock Fabrics to purchase burlap by the yard and I just sewed the edges to keep from fraying. Much cheaper than buying pre-measured burlap tablecloths.
I also took a gander on Amazon and found some awesome treasures. From brown paper trays to serve cake on to twine and red and white checkered tray liners, Amazon definitely served in making my hunt easier. One of the best things from there ended up being something I just stumbled upon and couldn't let pass by. Old school Cracker Jack. Everyone loved them!
Thanks to Pinterest I was given the grand idea of a Trail Mix bar... but really, how I didn't think of it myself I'm not sure. What goes better with camping than trail mix?? I ordered the little bags (along with striped straws, cupcake wrappers and wood forks from The TomKat Studio). Thankfully Grandma P has a lot of stuff at her house to pick through, and these canisters worked great paired with extra Ball jars.
I knew I wanted chocolate cake. I also knew I needed to try to incorporate s'mores without being obnoxious and overly marshmallow-y. So I opted for a family chocolate cake recipe with an ah-mazing Marshmallow Frosting recipe. The cake would be frosted very simply because I really liked the idea I found at this camping party. Sometimes simplicity is key. But obviously I was going to need to crush and sprinkle some graham crackers... and here is where I reached my perfect s'more cake balance. Sprinkled graham cracker crumbs in the middle frosting layer serving as a pleasant little surprise... Mmmm. I don't want to toot my own horn but really, I still dream about my experience of eating this cake. For cupcakes I made a graham cracker crust and pressed it in the bottoms of the cups to bake for 10 minutes before adding the batter. Once iced I popped them in the broiler for a minute to lightly toast the tops. Then added my little brown paper flags and voila!
My dear friend, in all her awesomeness, wanted so badly to help with the party... but she lives allllll the way in Texas. So what did she do? She made the awesome banners for the party and shipped them up just in time. They are perfect in every way and will be used countless times. I should probably save the extra fabric so she can make names for our future kids to match the "Happy Birthday".
I didn't hesitate to peruse the house and backyard to find little decor additions. From my mom's lawn ornamental Fawn, to logs from my dad's woodpile, it definitely added to the charm of the party. M's toy black bear helped out a lot too.
The birch candles are another Ikea score. They are amazingly wonderful. Seriously, go hit up Ikea. You will be glad you did.
We had to have twinkle lights. If we couldn't camp out under the stars then we sure had to bring the stars indoors. It's amazing how a few strings of white lights can add so much ambiance to a room. I was very sad to take them down.
We wrapped lights around the rope that draped from the second floor beam to the opposing corner. Then draped around and throughout the fort in the corner. M and the other kids loved this. They were able to read Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood under the glow of twinkling lights. I was also very sad to see this go... it was just magical. (Apparently this was just one of a few things about the party that was supposedly "hobo-ish". So let's just pretend that this was not a Hobo party and that people actually camp in these forts. But between the "hobo tent", "hobo meals" and "hobo sticks", it's debatable that I had my facts a little jumbled on what's "camping" and what's "hobo"... so don't tell M when he's 13 that his mom threw him a hobo party.)
One thing I will highly recommend to anyone with kiddos and the means, is to create a photobook for each year. I made one for M and left it out for family and friends to jot down their favorite memory of him in his first year. They can be a bit spendy but if you plan for it and utilize their many discounts it's definitely doable.
And lastly, a hot chocolate station. Obviously this is a must. But don't go with the powdered stuff... these types of occasions call for the super-bad-for-you-but-oh-so-good real stuff. I used this recipe and it was one of the better decisions of the event.
You can choose whatever fixins you like, but we opted for whipped cream (obviously), mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, pirouettes and milk chocolate and mint chocolate twigs (found at World Market). Oh it was so good.
Be sure to complete the theme by asking your guests to wear camping attire. It's just really fun seeing so many people in one location wearing flannel. Plus, who doesn't love a lumberjack baby?
For our menu we had:
"Hobo Meals" - The foil wrapped dinners cooked over the fire (but in reality there is no time to cook them over the fire so you bake them in the oven).
Dutch oven bread - So good!
Crock Pot Beans - family recipe... couldn't share it even if I wanted to because my mom made them.
Potato Chips
Fresh Veggies
Cans of pop - In a cooler, because that's what you do when you camp.
All in all it was truly a dream come true. It meant so much to me to be able to see this dream become a reality. As I said earlier, it was a pretty emotional night. It's not mine or T's first choice for me to hold up the parent front at these events but I'm unbelievably thankful for the family we had here to support and encourage. And I'm also really thankful for Skype... Daddy didn't have to miss much.
I think I could be a party planner. Lord knows I would enjoy the crap out of planning parties on someone else's dime. So if you know of someone who needs some party inspiration send them my way! I won't have another party to plan for a year.

What peace can and should look like
Maria De La Paz
Being a part of Cities of Peace has impacted my healing, activists, and artist practices in several ways. By examining the unique histories of peace and violence in different places I'm forced to imagine what peace can, and should, look like in my own community. These acts of examination and imagination, along with the colorful group dialogs that Cities of Peace regularly cultivates, have encouraged me to advance my own practices.
Cities of Peace has provided the space, environment, and conversations that have allowed me to think and act on these ideas. I now find myself asking more frequently how I fit into the bigger picture, how I might be contributing to the positive and negatives systems at work, and how I can more intentionally use my healing, activists, and artist practices in ways that will most benefit my peers and my community.

Bernie Sanders is the good kind of radical
Point/Counter-Point: To see the other side of this argument, read "America isn't as bad as Bernie says", here.
Due to his status as a political underdog running against one of the most famous politicians in the country, it is almost impossible to debate Senator Bernie Sanders' legitimacy as a presidential candidate without comparing him to Hillary Clinton. This is ultimately to Sanders' disservice, because he is not just an exciting alternative to an obviously flawed candidate, he is an exciting candidate in his own right.
Opponents have only been able to muster two main criticisms of Sanders: he won't be able to execute his ideas and he won't get elected.
While there is tangible evidence pointing to the contrary on the latter point — Bernie thrashes all Republican candidates in general election polls — the former point seems to be more contentious.
I've personally grown tired of hearing Sanders' plan for affordable college described as unrealistic or poorly thought-out. The Senator has laid out an incredibly practical path to affordable higher education in America. Nowhere in this proposal is a suggestion to raise taxes on the American public.
Sanders plans to make Wall Street pay for America's college students. As he says on his website, "If the taxpayers of this country could bailout Wall Street in 2008, we can make public colleges and universities tuition free and debt free throughout the country." This is both practical and fair.
Obama was criticized as an overly idealistic socialist, and his presidency went reasonably well. In retrospect, nothing about his platform was particularly radical — especially in comparison with Bernie.
But Bernie shouldn't lose points because he has fresh ideas that are going to take some time and major adjustments to execute. His acknowledgment of this is evident in his frequent use of the word "revolution." Proposing a revolution doesn't suggest this transition will happen immediately and with ease. It's going to be a struggle, and a lot is going to have to change.
Luckily, Sanders has the advantage of not inheriting the country at its lowest point in 80 years. Now that the country is in sustainable condition instead of teetering on the edge of apocalypse, it is time to actually re-work the system that caused the disaster in the first place.
That's why Sanders has appealed to the youngest generation of voters as much as he has. Not due to entitlement; even though I do feel entitled to a healthy economy, medicine, and a system that isn't rigged against the lower class.
And it's not because we're worried that we won't have it as good as our parents either. That's already our reality. We're worried our kids will have it even worse. We're worried that if a traditional candidate in the pocket of Wall Street comes to power, the rich will continue to get richer and the poor will keep getting poorer.
That's why we're rallying behind a candidate who is repeatedly on the right side of history. Bernie continues to offer radical solutions to the problems that really matter. Instead of using the vague political buzzwords and circling non-answers we are so used to hearing, he speaks literally and bluntly.
Sometimes he goes too far. Sometimes he is too radical, or unrealistic. But at this point in our country, I would rather elect a candidate bursting with good ideas who will face a bit of a reality check upon arrival in the oval office than another establishment candidate who will take half-measures and continue to reinforce the traditions that culminated in the economic crisis of 2008.
The core of people's opposition to Sanders must be a feeling that everything is working perfectly fine in America. It isn't. The disaster currently unfolding in Flint, Michigan wouldn't happen in a healthy, transparent system. Other candidates may have a better handle on the traditional political maneuvers used to "solve" this crisis, but Sanders offers an alternative. He's not interested in preserving his political connections while solving the massive crisis in Flint. And he's not exclusively interested in fixing it in the short term. He's interested in fixing the system that led us here in the first place.

text: We just booked a trip with another family to Los Poblanos, an organic farm in New Mexico. It sounds too good to be true: roaming peacocks, swaying lavender and minimal chic farm houses. There's balsamic tasting and a balloon festival to boot. And even if the reality doesn't match the fantasy, I can still live the dream in a Little Doe silk floral halo. Teamed with a maxi dress and Frye boots, it's the perfect look for attending a "Field Sketching Academy." Nope, I couldn't make this up if I tried. I'll report back in late October.

Peak Oil and the Gulf of Mexico
Peak oil is a great theory IF you assume that technology remains static. However, in the presence of technology improvements and higher prices we are going to be finding many millions of barrels of higher cost oil.
In this Business Week article (Plenty of Oil—Just Drill Deeper.) article we see how Matthew Simmons reacts to developments that don't support his Peak Oil campaign.
SOME ARE SKEPTICAL. Matthew R. Simmons, chairman of an energy investment bank bearing his name and one of the leading proponents of Peak Oil, is sticking to his guns. "One well tells you almost nothing," he says. Simmons says the deep wells are "unbelievably expensive" and often fall short of expectations. "The history of the industry is full of disappointment."
While I agree with much of what he has to say, the fact remains that a very large oil discovery was made in a deepwater frontier. Chalk one up for technology. Peak Oil loses on this one. I'm not a historian but its pretty easy to argue that the industry is full of great success stories as well. A big part of success or failure hinges on the oil price. In a rising price environment there are success stories everywhere. This discovery doesn't kill the bull market for oil as it will take many years to develop the field. However, another 10 years of this kind of mammoth exploration effort will certainly increase oil supply.

Report written by Bill Quinlan-Watson
In May 2014, I undertook a trip to Guangzhou in mainland China to attend a trade show with our Chinese partners who are importing wine into China. Guangzhou is a city of approx 8,500,000 people and much of it is new with lots of construction cranes working. The trade show lasted three days and I was told approx. 40,000 people would attend.
The wine market has been mainly sales to customers for gifts and celebrations but is changing to more common consumption of wine being led by the more affluent young people. The trade wine buyers are very professional, generally speak English and know a lot about wine. Very few of the general population speak English and signage is all in Chinese and many have not heard of Australia.
The city is zoned with many tall towers in the main residential areas. It takes about a year to build a residential tower and a year to fit it out. They are built of concrete and faced so they look like sandstone (which looks great). The interior is fitted out with all built in mod cons, with floors of marble and carpet. On entering a Chinese home you take off your shoes and put on slippers. The gardens surrounding the residential towers are tropical and beautiful, with ponds and swimming pools all manicured constantly. Security is everywhere with cameras on street poles and strict security at the trade show.
The drink you will be offered everywhere is tea served in small cups (like after dinner coffee cups) which are constantly topped up. A big variety of food is common; everything from chicken's feet and fish intestines to chicken and pork, but my skill with chopsticks leaves a lot to be desired.
The traffic is busy with driving being on the opposite side of the road to us, lots of toll roads and some streets are up to five lanes wide. There are not many stop lights, with major roads being one way (like a freeway) and some are elevated, so to get off you need to get to a fly over (clover leaf).Traffic police are on station all day and will stop trucks etc from going into residential areas.
I didn't see a lot of blue sky with the city covered in a tropical haze (probably smog). What I saw of China was limited, not having visited the poorer areas. So much is relatively new and modern, which gives the impression that the city is progressive and developing quickly. The opportunities for Australian trade with China could grow substantially - but the rest of the world is there as well.

Building Bridges with Basketball 2017
On Saturday, November 4, the Lakers kicked off their month-long Building Bridges with Basketball initiative at the UCLA Health Training Center. This program uses basketball as a way to unite members of the Los Angeles Police Department with the community. Each Saturday during the month of November, police officers and community members come together to engage in conversation and spend some time on the basketball court together. This week, Metta World Peace led the group in a dynamic discussion about labeling, respect and accountability. After the conversation, everyone participated in some 5-on-5 scrimmages.
The Lakers continued Building Bridges with Basketball on Saturday, November 11. This week, the LAPD and local community members came together to attend the South Bay Lakers home game. When the group arrived, they received South Bay Lakers t-shirts and a tour of the UCLA Health Training Center before enjoying a meal together. During dinner, the conversation from last week continued and focused on forming a bond between law enforcement and the community. After dinner, the group headed downstairs together to enjoy watching the South Bay Lakers defeat the Austin Spurs!
Building Bridges with Basketball continued on November 18 at the UCLA Health Training Center. The focus of week three was on unity, and this theme was emphasized throughout the day during a series of scrimmages between the LAPD and local community members. Before playing basketball, everyone received a t-shirt and discussed unity both in sports and out in the community. At the conclusion of the basketball games, Corey Brewer and Larry Nance Jr. stopped by to meet the group and to talk about the importance of unity in their lives. With only one week left of Building Bridges with Basketball, it is easy to see that these communities have really come together as a unified group.
During the final week of Building Bridges with Basketball, the Lakers invited the families of LAPD and the families of the community groups to come to the UCLA Health Training Center and join in on the program. The Lakers Youth Foundation put on a basketball clinic for the kids that attended, and then the community groups and LAPD scrimmaged together. The group also met Brook Lopez, as he stopped by to speak about the importance of family. Hearing from the Lakers Center had the group fired up and ready to shoot some hoops with their families.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, Governor Rick Scott, and a number of state officials and stakeholders kicked off a two-day Human Trafficking Summit in Tampa Thursday.
Over the years, Florida lawmakers have put measures in place as part of the ongoing fight to combat human trafficking. And, Bondi says there are other similar efforts across the state that are helping prevent what's been called the "modern-day slavery." But, she says there's still much to do.
"We have got save these victims, and we have got to with all these great organizations out there, we have got to have a place where they can be safe, because we know, not only do they need medical treatment, they need the psychological treatment, many of them are babies having babies, they need the drug addiction [treatment]—they're all addicted to drugs, many of these women—some of them you'll hear from over the next two days," she said, during opening remarks.
Bondi is the head of the 15-member Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, which is hosting the Tampa summit. Florida ranks third in the nation in calls to the national human trafficking hotline.

Silly report below about the need for more education waltzes around the fact that most of the High School dropouts are black
And until they recognize that blacks need programs that work for them specifically, there will be little progress
Some meaningful education beyond high school is now recognized as the gateway to middle-class life. Although national leaders from the public and private sectors have called for more Americans to earn college credentials, researchers, policymakers, and politicians remain divided on exactly how much and what kinds of higher education are really needed for both individuals and the nation to prosper. The report, Diplomas Count 2011: Beyond High School, Before Baccalaureate—Meaningful Alternatives to a Four-Year Degree, explores the pros and cons of new thinking about the educational and economic viability of postsecondary pathways between a high school diploma and a four-year degree.
The high-profile push to boost levels of college completion comes amid continuing concerns about the pace of improvements in high school graduation and the extraordinarily concentrated nature of the nation's dropout crisis. Despite the marked progress highlighted in the report, nearly 3 out of every 10 students in America's public schools still fail to earn a diploma. That amounts to 1.2 million students falling through the cracks of the high school pipeline every year, or 6,400 students lost every day. Most nongraduates are members of historically disadvantaged minority groups. Dropouts are also more likely to have attended school in large, urban districts and to come from communities plagued by severe poverty and economic hardship.
The report—part of an ongoing project conducted by the Bethesda, Md.-based Editorial Projects in Education—also tracks graduation policies for all 50 states and the District of Columbia and presents an updated analysis of graduation patterns for the nation, states, and the country's 50 largest school systems. The new analysis focuses on the class of 2008, the most recent year for which data are available. Diplomas Count 2011 was produced with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
The report's journalism chronicles the space between a diploma and four-year college education, by exploring efforts to build meaningful pathways that may not end with a bachelor's degree, including: next-generation high school programs that combine college-preparatory studies with updated career and technical education; early-college high schools geared to the local labor market; and community colleges, the key institutions linking many high school graduates to higher education and the workplace.
Policymakers and reform leaders increasingly make the case for aggressive measures to improve schools in both economic and educational terms, arguing that a more educated population leads to a workforce that is better prepared for the demands of a 21st-century global economy. To explore these dynamics, the EPE Research Center conducted an original analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, which collects information on 3 million individuals every year.
The report finds that about 39 million Americans, nearly one-third of the prime working-age population, have some postsecondary education but less than a four-year degree. The typical subbaccalaureate worker earned $30,000 in 2009, about $8,000 more than a high school graduate. More than a quarter of adults with an associate degree have annual incomes at or above the median level of four-year college graduates.
The center also characterized 469 distinct occupations based on the educational level of typical job-holders and identified 50 occupations in which the majority of workers have a subbaccalaureate level of postsecondary schooling. Median annual earnings within that segment of the labor market vary dramatically, from only $18,000 for massage therapists to $73,000 for managers in the firefighting and fire-prevention field.
School options truly liberate parents
Your editorial "Emancipation proclamation" (May 31) showed justifiable outrage over the 4-3 Georgia Supreme Court decision that invalidated a state-level alternative route for parents who had been frustrated by recalcitrant local school boards in their quest of independently managed charter schools for their children.
You are correct that it is a beautiful thing when charter schools can operate with considerable autonomy and offer families educational approaches and curricula not found in the standardized system. And, yes, it is a shame that the Supreme Court majority is effectively saying that parents now must go on bended knee in search of such within-the-system choice.
Yet, given that charter schools are, after all, public schools, it is wise to bear in mind that they will be subject on occasion to shifting political and ideological whims. To be truly liberated, parents need to be secure in their freedom to school their children at home, or to use vouchers to choose private schools free of governmental interference.
More than 5,000 British schools face special measures under crackdown by regulator
Up to 5,300 schools with below average test results could be failed by Ofsted unless they show improvement, it has been revealed. It will mean they are placed in the special measures category or given a notice to improve.
The only exceptions will be where they are 'improving steadily and closing the gap with the national average for all pupils'.
The tougher inspection regime is being piloted this term in 150 schools and will be introduced across the country in January. An inspectors' guide to the watchdog's latest framework, which has been seen by the Times Educational Supplement, shows it will pay more attention to pupil attainment and levels of progress.
Schools could be hit if their results for a particular category of pupil – such as boys or children in care – are below average and not enough improvement is being made. The pressure on schools with below average scores appears to go beyond those seen as 'coasting', and takes in any that are not improving faster than the national rate.
Of the state primaries with Sats results last year, 3,883 – 39 per cent – were below the national average on the percentage of pupils achieving level four in English and maths. And 1,486 state secondaries – 48.6 per cent – were below average on the main five A* to C GCSE measure, including English and maths.
The guidance for inspectors shows that any of these schools not deemed to be 'closing the gap' will be given an 'inadequate' grade for achievement, which leads to an overall 'inadequate' rating.
Schools that are judged 'inadequate' are given either a notice to improve – where specific changes that have to be made – or put in special measures, which can lead to the head teacher or governing body being replaced and even closure.
The document states a condition of getting a 'satisfactory' grade or above in achievement is that 'where attainment is below average overall, or below average for any group, it is improving steadily and therefore closing the gap with the national average for all pupils'.
William Parker School in Daventry, Northamptonshire, meets the GCSE target, but will fail its Ofsted inspection next year under the guidelines, unless it significantly improves its results this summer. Head teacher Jason Brook is responding by reluctantly introducing vocational BTEC qualifications to push up scores.
He told the TES: 'Judging on national averages is crass and blunt. They need to take account of schools' individual circumstances. 'We were delivering the curriculum that we knew was right. But I can't afford to do that any longer. I have got to join the game.'
Brian Lightman, of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'What we don't want is more perverse incentives to play the league tables. 'Inspections should be looking at the overall quality of education.'
Russell Hobby, of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: 'If a school achieves great progress with pupils that come in with low attainment then they are doing a remarkable job, even if the final results are below the national average.'
An Ofsted spokesman said it would 'carefully consider' the views of schools and inspectors following the pilot schemes, before publishing the framework in September. 'Inspectors rightly look to see the difference the school is making for pupils so that they make progress from their starting points on arrival in school,' he added. 'For children and young people to succeed, this progress must be satisfactory at least, and should often be good or better.'

London indie-rockers Heavy Heart started 2016 with an ambitious plan, put out one song a month for the entire year. They started the year with the wistful sentiment of 'Time Will Stand Still' and then took the year on a darker journey, ending 2016 with melancholic acceptance, heartache, and peace of 'Keepsake.' In between the bookends, as the months drifted by, the band checked in at the end of each month with a new offering. Each new work focused on hot-button topics such as bullying, self-worth, exclusivity, beauty, and perfection with gratifying clarity for those who peeled back the layers. The thought-provoking collection is rich with melancholy, and it rarely relents, but the arrangements, vocal delivery, and production keeps the band from exhausting it.
For all the blood, sweat, and tears the band put into their one song a month project, May's tantalizing offering of 'Pretty Thing' continually bubbled to the top. The band emits a looseness and bravado on 'Pretty Thing', the guitars and percussion bound along with ease and Anna Vincent delivers her vocals with a sweet and unassuming delivery. But it all turns jagged and angry, the guitars growl and Anna's vocals turn venomous as if "Laura R." might be the flower cut to stand in the jar beside her. The band's year may have been largely glum, but their greatest successes came when they embraced it and fought back. In doing so, Heavy Heart has shown they are much more than just a heavy heart.

community bike rides
In order to engage more of the local population with our Sports & Recreation Program, we began two years ago to lead bimonthly weekend community bike rides. An average of 35 children, parents, and community members participate in these events, which promote an active lifestyle while instilling an appreciation for nature and respect for the environment.
We lend bicycles to children who do not have their own and offer basic mechanical services for those who do. Helmets, water, first aid, and support transportation are also provided. Each ride begins in the center of a local village and follows a scenic, safe, and skill-level-appropriate route that almost always includes an opportunity to play at a beach, in a nearby river, or in the Pacific Ocean.


text: I did it back to front. I had kids first, got married second. My son Samuel (7) was my bestman. But who cares what order you do things these days? I'm not saying that there's no value in sticking with tradition. But really once you have kids, and I have 3 of my own, what matters is not whether they arrived before or after your wedding day. It's all about secure and loved you make them feel from the minute they are born.

And, of course, we should all remember that the Christian idea of "Hell"
doesn't really have much to do with Judaism at all...
But back to conlanging,
While i was reading through lots of Ardalambion articles on Proto-Elven,
Quenya, and Telerin, i decided that at least once in my life i should
probably create a well-developed family of languages, with specific Grand
Master Plans and roots in their ancestral tongue.
So i came up with the phonemes for the "Proto-" ancestor of the
languages, combining some ideas of other random conlangynesses that were
floating around my mind:
voiced stops: b d g
nasals: m n N
prenasalized voiced stops: mb nd Ng
doubly-articulated voiceless stops: pt tk kp
voiceless stops: p t k
voiceless fricatives: f s x
trills: rr
liquids: l r
short vowels: a e i o u
long vowels: a: e: i: o: u:
Does it seem possible that the first two doubly-articulated stops would
exist? I remember seeing /kp/ and it's voiced counterpart /gb/ in
African languages, but i've never heard of /pt/ and /tk/. I can
pronounce them easily enough...
That's all i have now, although i really like the Tolkienic name
_Kinn-lai_ (a development of the word Quendi in an undescribed Avarin
language), so i may 'borrow' it as Kin-La:i, or maybe Kpin-La:i, for the
name of the people who spoke this proto-language.

National Parks on the Air 2017 Update/
This successful event, highlighting the centenary celebration of US National Parks Service has attracted over half a million QSLs.
A mixture of activator teams got together, young and old, and cross generation family groups including Bill Jourdain, AB4BJ, who got together with 17-year-old Ruth Willet, KM4LAO, and her mom, Sharon, KM4TVU, to activate Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park.
During the period between July 28-August 3, the schedule shows 43 activations, including the rare Channel Islands National Park in California, and the even rarer Denali National Park in Alaska.
There is expected to be a peak inactivity around the 25th August (the actual centenary day)

A blurred image of Dylan by photographer Jerry Schatzberg – there were other, sharp photos from the shoot — was chosen by Dylan himself for the cover of "Blonde on Blonde." It was taken in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan on a cold February day almost 50 years ago. Sometimes perfection isn't measured in technical terms.

Went out for an hour last night to see how easy it was to make a little mini scare edit. The police came and searched us all which was nice. One of the little piggie wiggles started smoking in front of us so i said i find it annoying when police do this, especially when they have just searched me, he pooed himself and offered me a cigarette.
This might be the funniest thing ever.
