Cheryl Cole admits she had to chase Tre Holloway
The singer is happily dating her backing dancer, Tre Holloway, who's been appearing with her on stage throughout her solo tour, A Million Lights.
And when asked by Alan Carr on tonight's Chatty Man whether she was dating Tre before her tour or whether she hired him so she could "pounce on him", Cheryl admits: "A bit of both!"
Cheryl - who divorced footballer Ashley Cole two years ago amid rumours he'd cheated with a string of women in - goes on to confess that she had to put in a lot of effort to become Tre's girlfriend.
She reveals: "I actually met him two years ago. It was me, it was all me. I had to do a little bit of chasing. I cast a spell."
The 29-year-old then proudly comments: "Handsome, isn't he?"
Cheryl and 27-year-old Tre were first linked back in August, after they were spotted on a string of dates together.
But their romance was reportedly originally doubted by Cheryl's protective mum, Joan.
A friend told The Sun: "It's early days and she isn't 100 per cent sure of Tre yet. He looks good on Cheryl's arm but Joan fears he will not be there for her long term."
Joan is understandably protective of her daughter since her divorce from love rat Ashley.
The friend added: "Any man dating Cheryl should be aware they have to pass the vigorous test and standards set by Joan.
"She sees herself as more of a protecting force than ever. As it stands Tre has a long way to go before he is accepted."

My 1st
This awesome piece is my very first purchase of a Hot Toy. I am glad I let my friend talk me into purchasing it. The likeness of this figure and Henry Cavill is unreal. Many more 1:6 scale are in my future to purchase.

Worth every penny!
To begin with I'm a bit 'old school' when it comes to Superman so Christopher Reeve has always been that character to me. But this figure screams 'THIS is Superman!!' Powerful, super details on the costume and simply incredible in person. Get it while you can!

Hobie 16 Sailing Question
Ahoy Hobie 16 sailor, I had a similar problem the first time I tryed to raise the mast on my 16'' Glen Marine design cat. My solution was to have the stern beached on the ramp with the mast laid foward at its step,with the stays attatched and slack. I then clipped on the trailor winch to the topping lift or in your case a halyard and cranked it up. Once up, the tension from the fore stay and the trailor held it while I adjusted the rigging to where I wanted it.
Hobie 16 Sailing Question
You definitely need the mast hinge to raise the mast. Be sure to remove the hinge pin before raising the sail or the hinge will bend/break and you won''t be able to lower the mast.
Start with the side stays connected, the mast base hinge connected and the mast laying down. Tie a line around the head stay above the lower terminal (clove hitch), run it over the top of the "bridle" where the headstay terminal will connect to, and then back to the trampoline, passing under the bridle. Tie it to the lacing on the trampoline.
Stand on the rear of the tramp and lift the mast, walking it iup into position like lifting a ladder. Once vertical, lean on the mast with one hand, reach down and pull the line (tied to the tramp lacing at your feet) to the headstay until it is snug - not tight. Tie it securely to the mast. Get down off the tramp and go connect the headstay terminal.
Reverse the process to lower the mast.
Have fun. Hobie 16''s are great boats.
Hobie 16 Sailing Question
Hello, I''m the new owner of a Hobie 16. Normally there will be two of us sailing her, but I imagine there will be some nights I want to take her out on my own. Setting the mast seems to be a major ordeal since there are few places to gain leverage from and few sturdy footholds. Any input on rigging a Hobie mast solo would be much appreciated! Today I connected the side stays and used a little contraption to hold the mast in line with its base while it''s lifted. I got about 5 feet from the mast and couldn''t do it alone. Thanks for the help.

Quality of child abuse information in emergency department injury surveillance data : linking hospital and child welfare data
Scott, Debbie, McKenzie, Kirsten, Fraser, Jennifer A., & Dunne, Michael P. (2010) Quality of child abuse information in emergency department injury surveillance data : linking hospital and child welfare data. In ISPCAN XVIII Congress, 26-29 September 2010, Hawai'i Convention Center, Honolulu. (Unpublished)
(PDF 295kB)
Emergency departments (EDs) are often the first point of contact with an abused child. Despite legal mandate, the reporting of definite or suspected abusive injury to child safety authorities by ED clinicians varies due to a number of factors including training, access to child safety professionals, departmental culture and a fear of 'getting it wrong'. This study examined the quality of documentation and coding of child abuse captured by ED based injury surveillance data and ED medical records in the state of Queensland and the concordance of these data with child welfare records. A retrospective medical record review was used to examine the clinical documentation of almost 1000 injured children included in the Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit database (QISU) from 10 hospitals in urban and rural centres. Independent experts re-coded the records based on their review of the notes. A data linkage methodology was then used to link these records with records in the state government's child welfare database. Cases were sampled from three sub-groups according to the surveillance intent codes: Maltreatment by parent, Undetermined and Unintentional injury. Only 0.1% of cases coded as unintentional injury were recoded to maltreatment by parent, while 1.2% of cases coded as maltreatment by parent were reclassified as unintentional and 5% of cases where the intent was undetermined by the triage nurse were recoded as maltreatment by parent. Quality of documentation varied across type of hospital (tertiary referral centre, children's, urban, regional and remote). Concordance of health data with child welfare data varied across patient subgroups. Outcomes from this research will guide initiatives to improve the quality of intentional child injury surveillance systems.

Report: U.S. Marine Unit Killed Hundreds of Afghan Civilians
Posted on May 16, 2009
The Independent reported Saturday that a single group of American troops, the U.S. Marines Corps' Special Operations Command, otherwise known as MarSOC—a creation of one Donald Rumsfeld—was responsible for "at least three of Afghanistan's worst civilian casualty incidents" to date.

jackpine, I guess my previous posts are based on the assumption that our current objective in Afghanistan is a somewhat altruistic one, if badly carried out. Sadly, I would not be surprised if I'm wrong.

Obama's "conciliatory" talk about "bipartisanship" finally looks like an admission that there is no difference between the 2 parties. Neither of which serves the needs of We The People.
Since we're screwed for the next 3-1/2 years, maybe we should emulate Obama's example and start looking TODAY for candidates selected, groomed and elected by WTP. If WTP start organising now, 2012 is not out of reach. Such a campaign would also serve as a Vote of No Confidence in the current administration.
Here's a few names who may not all be my favourites, but who have proven themselves during and after the last campaign: Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney.
THIS TIME: let's consider working WITH these people through the campaign, rather than allow the well-renumerated corporate whores to manipulate yet another puppet charity case, trash dragged out from obscurity, to serve the insatiable few hundred billionaires.
If we don't, by 2016 this country will become a fragmented collection of tin pot dictatorships. If we're lucky.

Max, even before we arrived, the Taliban was fighting with the Northern Alliance, and they were horribly oppressive towards women. In fact, I believe that Afghanistan women had the highest rate of suicide in the world compared to women in any other country. Things were not hunky dory before we got there.
Yes, now there is even more bloodshed, because for the last eight years, the Bush administration could care less what was going on over there. It became an "anything goes," chaotic war.
I do hope that changes. The Afghanistan people have been among the most luckless pawns in the world for decades now. That did not start with our presence there.

Honestly people…lets blame the MARSOC unit, when they were doing their job…The Taliban is nothing, but cowards!! that use their own people as human shields, to make us look bad…I find it offensive that the Marine Corps called them "cowboys" they are train to do their job, and do it well…it's unfortune that civilian casualities happen…but it's is war people…has there been any war since the founding of this Country that hasn't been casualities?...Lets, face it it's WAR, not a game…lives will be lost…it's a shame that people are so quick to point a finger on things that they are not fully aware of what is going on or there to common…expect reporters may report…grow up people…we are doing the job they as us to do…is to help the afghans…even when we trying to help them they will pick the Taliban instead of us…I bring our guys home…let them fight their own battles…they been doing for centuries and will continue to do so…Obama said he would bring our troops home, but hes just transf them from Iraq to Afghanistan…Hmm sounds just like Bush…

The picture of this horrifically wounded CHILD that accompanies this article is utterly heartbreaking. I just don't know what we should do about Afghanistan. Leave and the psychopathic Taliban takes over (and likely takes over Pakistan, too); stay and possibly more travesties like this occur.
Either way, the poor and the weak are in the crossfire.

FBI repatriates recovered 1,000-year-old Mayan artifacts to Guatemala
By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Federal authorities on Friday formally repatriated a collection of more than thousand-year-old Mayan artifacts to the Guatemalan government at a ceremony in Los Angeles after recovering them from the estate of a deceased art collector.The collection of limestone sculptures was turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by a person handling the estate of the collector, who has not been publicly identified.
"The cultural significance of these pre-Columbian artifacts is priceless to the people of Guatemala," Deirdre Fike, FBI assistant director in charge of the agency's Los Angeles office, said following the ceremony.
"I'm very pleased that the FBI's Art Crime Team was able to facilitate the return of these ancient treasures to their proper home."
No criminal charges were filed over the recovery of the sculptures, three which have been traced to the Late Classic Maya Era (A.D. 600-900).
According to the FBI, experts say the fragments were uncovered near a ruined temple building in the Petexbatun Region of Guatemala and that an inscription found on them is part of a text that served as a primitive calendar.
The other four pieces were thought to have originated in the El Peru area of Guatemala and believed to date to the Early Classic Period (A.D. 400-600).
According to the FBI, experts have said the artifacts are consistent with Mayan iconography and that the carvings are associated with symbolism depicting an earth or mountain monster.
All seven will be shipped to Guatemala in the coming days. The Guatemalan government will determine the best place to house and display them. Continued...

Alright, I am so ready to get back on track!! This week brought the start of Marine Corp Marathon training!! Week 1 baby! I had big plans for how this was going to start, but they kind of got pushed to the side. I ended up resting for most of June due to this pesky hip issue, that we still can't seem to pinpoint what exactly is going on except that it is muscular and most likely from a hip imbalance. Anyway, I had big plans to keep my mileage fairly high in June so I could start my long runs around the 13 mile mark, but that isn't happening now unfortunately. So the plan got revamped and here I am!
Before I get into the training recap, I alluded to some more drama that happened over the last week. I've heard that bad things happen in 3's, and I'm counting on that because I'm not sure I can take any more drama!! It started with the phone, then my niece and the seizure and the 3rd thing was my Mini #2 had a near drowning experience on Tuesday. Yea. Not good. Thankfully he is ok, but it really shook me up for a few days.
We were at our community pool and actually getting ready to leave. Of course my oldest was giving me a hard time and refusing to get out of the pool. Mini #2 was sitting at a table like I had asked him to while I got his brother. I walked to the pool to coax him out which took a little while. He is a little fish and never wants to leave the pool. Anyway, I turned around and Mini #2 was gone. I scanned everywhere and finally saw him submerged underwater with his fingertips just touching the surface, struggling to get up for air, but alas he doesn't know how to swim and he wasn't wearing his float apparatus. The kicker of the whole situation was that the lifeguard watched him jump in and watched him sink and start struggling and didn't do a thing. I saw him and yelled to the lifeguards to help, but they didn't budge. I had to jump in to get him. Now mind, you it was probably only a matter of 10 seconds or so (10 seconds is a long time underwater though for a kid who doesn't know how to hold his breath under water), but they still did NOTHING. When I started screaming for them, another lifeguard walked up to me and told me it was my responsibility to watch my child. I couldn't believe my ears. Did she really just say that to me?? Yes, I realize it's my responsibility to watch my child, but what the F*$! are lifeguards there for? They are supposed to jump in and help if a child/person is struggling in the water which he clearly was. It was extremely upsetting. Needless to say, the community association heard about the incident and they are taking care of the situation but I truly couldn't believe the lack of urgency or response from a group of THREE lifeguards who all witnessed a 3 year old that didn't know how to swim, jump in the water without me seeing. Completely unacceptable.
Let this be a PSA to all of you out there. These things happen in the blink of an eye. Turn your back for a second and this can happen (not the lifeguard part but the kid jumping in the pool carefree and overconfident). And please please know…drowning IS SILENT. There was no screaming or splashing from him at all. Nothing. Complete silence. Please, if you have kids and you go to a pool over the summer, watch THIS VIDEO. Even the most aware, attentive parents can fall victim. Thank goodness I turned when I did.
Whew, ok, now that is off of my chest here is how my 1st week of training went!
I had told ya'll that I"m working with a coach again this time around. A different one from last time. I felt like I needed a change in strategy and so I felt like this was the guy for me. I've had to make a few adjustments from my typical training plan that I've been doing all along. All of my runs are time based this time around which has been very hard for me to adjust to. I'm used to having a mileage and pace goal. Yep, throwing that out the window this time. We are focusing on time and breathing instead. The premise for my pacing is based on "gears". Say Whaaa?
There are 4 gears I will be running in.
Gear 1–2:2 (breaths in:breaths out)
Gear 2– 2:1
Gear 3–1:2
Gear 4– 1:1
Let me tell you, this is hard. When you aren't used to focusing on your breathing this is a HUGE adjustment. So this week was my adjustment period.
Monday: Core work
Tuesday: 30 min run on treadmill in Gear 1 (3.5 miles @ 8:59 min/mi) , Iron Strength x 30 min
I've been testing out these new Mizuno Wave Enigma 5's! I got the opportunity to try them out as part of being a Fitfluential Ambassador and they are awesome. I've worn Mizuno's in the past, Wave Rider's to be specific which I thought were ok. But these? These are awesome. I love a cushioned shoe, and this one is cushioned and light weight and fits my foot like a glove. I will definitely be throwing these into the shoe rotation!
Iron Strength. The killer workout that had me limping around for a week. Shockingly if you actually do it consistently you don't get as sore the subsequent times you do it, lol. Shocking, I know.
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: 45 min run on treadmill Gear 1 (5 miles @ 9:22 pace), core work
Friday: 30 min run on treadmill (3.2 miles @ 9:32 pace), Gear 1
Still adjusting to this breathing thing, you can see my paces aren't consistent because of it.
Went to my chiro for some work on my hip. Yep, it's STILL bothering me. It's gotten 100x's better, but I still notice it here and there if I sit in certain ways and definitely after a run. I think we've ruled out any major issues such as a tear or bursitis though, so that's good. It seems muscular so I'm sticking with the hip/core/glute strength training to see if that will help and some TLC from the chiro.
Saturday: Rest. After I woke up from sleeping after my night shift, we went out on our friend's boat on the Potomac. It was Alexandria, VA's birthday so every year they have a festival and fireworks. We thought it would be fun to take the kids out on the water, have a picnic dinner and then watch the fireworks from the boat! One of the coolest DC moments we've had since we've been here. The kids had a blast.
Sunday: 60 min run (6.5 miles @ 9:14 pace), Gear 1. This was an unusual run for me as I'm usually a morning runner and I did this at 5pm. Luckily I felt amazing the entire run and my hip didn't even hurt!! Yey for small victories!
My coach keeps telling me that the first few weeks are practice at figuring out the "gears" but I've got to say, I'm not very confident about it. In fact I found myself a few times on the treadmill saying "screw it, just run the way you normally do and don't focus on it." But apparently, this is the key to his training. I'm trying to be open minded, I really am, but I'm not sure I can do this. I've really got to do some self talk and be positive, this is why I hired him right?? I wanted a change in approach and that's what I'm getting, but I just don't know. We'll see how it plays out!

Well, that's it for week one! Onto week two! Hopefully I can get some outside runs in, but Mr. Cupcakes work schedule has been super busy, so i haven't been able to get outside. So we'll see what this week brings! As usual, linking up with Tara from Running N Reading for the Weekend/Weekly Update!
How was your week?
Have you ever watched fireworks from a boat?
Have you ever run based on your breathing? Any tips?

Rock star in the family
By Susan Konig
We have four kids, so it was bound to happen. Our son is starting a rock band.
He came to me and asked me to get him guitar lessons. He doesn't know how to play the guitar, but he and a couple of friends are starting their own group. The stars of tomorrow include his friends Jackson and Kelly. Kelly is in charge even though "she's just the singer." I'm not sure what Jackson's job will be.
They are in the second grade.
We own a guitar. It's a small, wooden folk guitar that's just the right size for a 7-year-old. Except that, until now, it was always treated as a toy during games of karaoke "American Idol," or "Let's Pretend to Be the Beatles." It has only two of its six strings left and has been banged around a bit, including by our 21-month-old. He smashes it into things as if he's Pete Townshend from The Who or Bamm-Bamm from "The Flintstones."
I took guitar lessons briefly when I was about 12. We had a very nice instructor who taught us all to play a song the first day. I thought that was pretty cool. I still remember it. After all these years, fingers remember songs. So I promised the founding member of this second-grade band that I would get the guitar restrung and tuned and that I would teach him a few chords. If he liked it, maybe lessons could be a consideration.
I drive by the local music store all the time and planned to drop it off one day. When my pint-sized musician and I walked in with the poor, wounded instrument, we were met with a wall of really neat-looking electric guitars.
Behind the counter were several young men, all with shaved heads, wearing black T-shirts and biker clothes. They took the guitar and looked at the lines. It wasn't warped or anything, just a few dings. They told us they could fix it right up in a couple of days. Then they leaned over to see the hopeful rock star.
"He already has a band," I said.
"What's it called?" one guy asked.
My son looked at his shoes.
"The Penguins," he said shyly.
"Cool," they agreed. He looked up and smiled.
"Maybe this will be the beginning of a really famous band," another suggested.
My son looked longingly at the sleek, colorful electric guitars, as if he already had a plan.
We picked up his guitar a few days later, and I rummaged through the piano bench to find the teach-yourself-to-play book I've had since I was a kid. Within a few minutes, he learned the chords D and A7. The fingering is tough for his small hands, but he likes to practice. And those chords are perfect for playing "Skip to My Lou."
It's a start. CD

Does school uniform really matter?(68 Posts)
Probably been done to death many times so just hide this if the topic bores you!
Does school uniform really make that much difference? For a number of years we lived abroad and DCs went to school without uniform. I know that some people worry about school becoming a fashion parade. We didn?t see that but does that really happen? I can understand on mufti days there is the novelty value but day in day out do you get that?
Does a school uniform foster a sense of pride in the school and a school ethos? Again my experience doesn?t really convince me of this. DS belongs to Army Cadets. He is very proud of this and spends over an hour each week polishing his boots and ironing his uniform. On the other hand his school uniform looks like it is ready for the rag man. So I suppose my experience says that pride in the organisation fosters pride in the uniform, not the other way round.
Does a school uniform somehow help young people get ready for the world of work? Certainly looking round Europe I would have to say that the British (and I include myself in this) are not better dressed than our continental (non school uniform wearing) counterparts.
In my opinion young people do need some sort of guidance especially at the start to make sure that they are dressed appropriately. What is appropriate can depend on circumstance ? what is suitable for a History lesson is not suitable for playing rugby.
My suggestion would be to have a very simple dress code and leave it at that. This does not stop classroom discussion around selecting clothes for different situations especially as students get closer to applying for jobs/apprenticeships/college.
Any thoughts?
Our local community college (11+ area) just turned Academy, had name change, uniform change, the works. They reintroduced blazers at the request of the students.
I just wish I knew who had decided the ties should have luminous green and black stripes...
I'm glad we have uniform at my DS's primary; makes it so much easier to get him dressed in a morning, and I don't have a houseful of Disney/Marvel/DC/Dreamworks themed
crap clothing. At least not much. And I don't have to argue that he can't wear a Batman costume to school.
Why couldn't he go in his Batman outfit? Children in Reception at DSD's school regularly appeared in Spiderman outfits etc!
A bit of play dressing at 4 years old doesn't seem such a bad thing, and doesn't seem to have stopped anyone having learned to read.
The academic results of DS's community school, no uniform, spiderman outfits allowed, calling teachers by first names, have been neck and neck with a Catholic primary which requires caps, white shirts, ties, socks with stripes., pinafore dresses, girls hats, proper blazers (not polyester).
I was very happy DS had no uniform, I also thought the children with smart uniform looked great.
mmm - our secondary uses uniform as an additional "discipline" type tool - you have to wear it and it has to be worn correctly or you will get a uniform demerit - 3 and you get detention.
It does work - the kids think about how they look, they know certain behaviour leads to detention and it does seem to improve overall behaviour. But..... it is a "good" school....
My son has only just started reception and wears a simply uniform of grey trousers and white polo shirt with a school jumper. It's great - so much easier than the shirts and ties I had to wear when I first started school.
School uniform is also cheaper to buy and, as moonbells says I don't end up with loads of themed clothing and arguments about whether it's okay to wear a superhero/star wars outfits to school.
Also isn't uniform about allowing others to identify which school a child is from if they are being PITAs? When I was at school the local newsagent/bus driver/neighbour could tell which school the child who was giving them grief came from and go and complain to the school if necessary.
I went to a secondary school without a uniform. It was awful if you didn't have the right clothes/brands. Even down to whether you had pods or shoes.
I'm very glad my children's school has a strict uniform. The girls wear a matching skirt and fitted jacket and an open collar blouse. Ok it's a pain it has to come from a set supplier but it looks really smart and everyone is equal. It also lasts and lasts so no stigma about 2nd hand.
But is that in fact true monica77798? Do students get picked on because of their clothes? Does uniform bring equality if the rich kids get a new blazer every year and the poorer ones wear the same one until their wrists are hanging out of it?
VintageRainBoots, why does school uniform put students into the frame of mind for learning? Where is the evidence for this? What is it about putting on a nylon blazer that makes a student better able to learn than one wearing a sweatshirt.
I really would like to know what the evidence is to support school uniform. We are quoted assumptions about pride, equality, etc but how much of this is really true?
My DD has now gone into 6th form. No uniform and a very light touch dress code pretty much as MathAnxiety describes (no offensive slogans, no bare midrifs, no underwear showing). Anarchy has not broken out.
Goralka, no elementary school that I know of in the US had students wear ties, even those that required a uniform. Granted I did not live in every little corner of the US but when Americans think of a British school uniform a tie features prominently in the image that is conjured up. I knew no private school in Ireland when I was growing up that did not require a tie (I wore one from age 4 to age 12) and now that even National Schools in Ireland are more and more using a uniform, a tie is often de rigeur.
primary schools in the UK usually have a polo shirt and sweatshirt no matter what is in the minds of americans.
mathanxiety - you've given me a laugh this morning! My school uniform at secondary school was bottle green trousers or skirt, no rules on length, white polo shirt and a green jumper of cardigan. We could get a school one or buy a badge to sew on but it wasn't necessary. In Year 11 we could choose a black round neck sweatshirt.
My daughter's uniform at primary school is black/ grey/ navy trousers/ skirt/ pinafore. White/ blue/ yellow shirt/ blouse/ polo shirt. Blue cardigan/ jumper/ sweatshirt. There is a school tie for those who wish to wear them, my daughter has a couple on elastic which she wears if she wants to go a little more formal. They don't tend to say much about the uniform until you get into Year 6 but that's about preparing for secondary school.
At our school a lot of uniform is donated back to the school and then we have uniform sales where you can buy a nearly new jumper for £3. We don't have issues of children wearing scruffy uniforms because everyone knows how to get cheap uniform if they need it - although Tesco/ Asda/ Matalan etc are all pretty cheap anyway. The school also doesn't have uniform through places like Clive Marks and sells branded stuff themselves so we can get brand new uniform pretty cheap. Can you imagine sending a child to school in second hand clothes that someone had also worn to school when it's not uniform? A lot harder to hide.
I think that school uniform is not at all about the students but about the parents. It taps into the parental psyche about a theoretical golden era in education (my guess around the 50s/early 60s). School uniform is quite deliberately old fashioned. School uniform apes this golden era.
It isnt smart work wear (how many people outside of a holiday camp wear a blazer to work). Looking around my accounting office of around 30 people (evenly split m/f) only 2 people are wearing ties.
So what then is the purpose of school uniform? I think that with the recent uniform changes as part of new broom heads sweeping clean the uniform is a cipher for a good school. A number of years ago some schools were tuned around by new head teachers. Real management changes were made, schools were reborn. As a symbol of this new uniforms were introduced.
There appears to be no budget left for schools to make real changes. Now all we are left with are the uniforms.
My DD went to a school that had blazers and ties. She loved it!
Within 3 days of starting college back in september she was wishing she was back in school uniform as she didn't have to think about which clothes to wear then.
I'm all for school uniform as it does work out cheaper than buying jeans etc and it makes life easier getting ready in the morning.
I do hate blazers though. They look cheap and nasty and must be so uncomfortable. They are also expensive considering they are made from cheap material.
The smart polo shirt and a jumper with the school badge on that my primary school kids wear is so much smarter and more comfortable.
I don't see why kids have to suddenly start wearing a blazer as soon as they get to secondary school.
I'm struggling to think of any (state) schools around here that have ties. One has blazers but worn with a polo shirt, I think.
Ah -- yes, there's the one that was in special measures. That kind of fits the OP's theory.
I have seen students wearing second hand clothes to a school that didn't require a uniform -- my own DCs and most of their friends, who bought them from the Salvation Army and Goodwill and places like Plato's Closet. They also swapped clothes among themselves, and wore clothes from older siblings. Because spanking clean uniform was not the order of the day and the school had over 3,000 students each with his or her own taste, nobody bothered 'hiding' what they were wearing or emphasising what they were wearing. I think it's hard for parents used to the British emphasis on appearance to understand how fast students get over the whole 'dressing for show' thing and settle down to wearing whatever is on the top of the heap in the morning when they go to a school where anything goes and live in a culture where class markers are different. Using clothing as a means of showing the Joneses you are not falling behind with the rent is not an American middle class thing; it's much more of a ghetto thing, along with conspicuous consumption on hair and nails.
The parish school did an official uniform exchange every year -- you brought whatever you were getting rid of and even if you didn't you could go and rummage and get whatever you needed for free. There was also an ongoing uniform go round among families. Actually, there were always clothing bags circulating -- I used to bag up clothes the DCs grew out of and send them to a friend, who used to send whatever she didn't want on its merry way. In turn I got clothes from all points and rebagged and sent out once I had picked through them. I bought very few clothes, jackets, snowboots, etc., new for the DCs. This was an affluent suburb of a major city. Wearing a 'scruffy' uniform there wasn't something that would be commented upon. Most students had splotches of acrylic paint (art teacher insisted on using non washable paint) in the places where the art smocks didn't reach. Most uniforms were taken in or out for years with varying degrees of skill and a lot of parents repaired hems with a stapler.
Bad school improves with uniform in Glasgow.
Good school in bad area has a uniform. It is also an all male school, in contrast with public schools. The issues identified and addressed by the founder of Urban Prep were lack of community and family male leadership (outside of gangs), a culture that was hostile to education and macho to the point of young males actively resisting authority in schools.
In the high school my DCs attended none of this was a major issue.
I can see that schools change and that particularly where the school has had a bad local image a change of image is important but what I would like to see is if it was the pride in the school which leads to the pride in the uniform or vice versa.
There have been lots of these sorts af articles - normally the Head accompanied by a handful of students saying how proud they are to wear the uniform. The Head at my DCs school did precisely the same. You could actually see the Head's progress through the special measures schools in the area (they all ended up in the same uniform just a different badge!).
Problem is that a few years down the line the school teeters on the brink of special measures once more. The new broom has changed the uniform and other than that mostly just swept the dust around.
I would like to see more than just anecdotal evidence on the effectiveness of school uniform. I would like to see more effort put into researching how to turn schools around, not just a quick change in uniform.
Focusing on a uniform change alone is patronising and cheapens the efforts of Heads and management teams who are making real differences to their schools.
You don't see the excellent schools that don't wear uniforms held up as examples because they are plugging away quietly, focusing on what their community expects them to and producing results year after year for 120 + years. But there are thousands of them all over the US.
math your link does not show cause and effect between the introduction of the uniform and the improvement. There was also a change of leadership - correlation =|= causation.
monica a lot of school uniform is not cheap, as schools have rip-off deals with tied suppliers. Instead of allowing students to wear a plain white polo for example, which you can get in any supermarket or department store in multipacks (and fair trade/ethically sourced if you wish) for about £4 per shirt (if you are choosing the posh option), you will be paying £10 or more for one piece of polyester crap with the logo on it because you have no choice. I hate it.
I see so many countries in Europe which have no school uniform, and where the outcomes in education are better than they are in the UK, that the uniform argument just fails to convince me. And clearly these students are perfectly capable of taking pride in their school. Must be something in the European water supply then...
As for preparing to learn/preparing for the world of work - save me! Soooo... First we make them wear uniform until 16. Then if they go onto 6th form, they are often allowed to wear non-uniform. Our local secondary recommends 'business dress' but this is not enforced. One of the highest-performing 6th form colleges near where I work makes no such recommendations, and you see students wearing allsorts, behaving well and achieving well. And then they go to uni - no uniform there either.
Then these young people are able to join the world of work pretty effectively. Clearly all because they wore uniform in the very distant past .
The bullying argument cuts no ice either- bullies will always find some reason to pick on someone.
Love uniform.
I went to one school where we had a winter uniform, but in the summer any blue dress was fine. OMG it was hell - the competition over which brand, how cool or otherwise etc. I was small for my age and since I didn't hit puberty till 17 I was also obviously flat-chested - the only blue dresses that my parents could find that fitted were in Debenhams children's department and were what looks sweet on a 7 year-old but not too cool on a 14 year-old. I was tormented for several years over them by both boys and girls. I was over the moon when they brought in a uniform dress in my 3rd year there.
St Pauls Girls School in London doesn't have uniform at all - I believe an old headmistress said that uniform taught girls how to dress badly (or some such thing). They get 49% to Oxbridge so I don't see that it has much effect on grades.
I have never understood ties and shirts - or shiny polyester blazers. One school I was at had navy roll-necks in Winter and short-sleeved polo shirts in the summer. We had white shirts and ties for special occasions - speech day, music competitions etc. It is nearly impossible to make roll-necks or polo shirts look sloppy - shirts and ties are so easy to make look hideous.
One of the schools round here got the girls to design their own uniform - they have pale pink shirts with navy skirts and navy blazers with pink linings. One of the muslim girls got a relative to produce headscarves in navy with a pink band at the front to match the uniform. It looks very pretty.
I do love seeing some of the London preps when they go round museums etc - some of the uniforms are very whacky: Hill House with the gold jumpers and rust knickerbockers for starters. But there is a girls school with pink and grey that is gorgeous!
I think the headmistress at St Pauls got it absolutely right. So many times I have heard people say that they like school uniform because it means they/their children dont have to think what to wear.
This is probably okay in early primary school but surely as children come to the later years of primary they should be starting to learn to dress appropriately for the content of their day. In this I think that school uniform does them no favours. It teaches young people to simply blindly follow a code.
Nylon blazer/white shirt/tie is seldom appropriate dress when you consider the activities in a secondary school:
- moving from class to class in all weather (nylon blazers are hot in summer, cold in winter and absorb rain like sponges)
- ties are a liability in technology science and art classes
- white shirts are simply magnets for chemicals, art materials etc
Quite honestly army fatigues would be more practical.
I'm afraid that I do not think that 'pretty' should be an aim for a school uniform for girls. I think that it teaches a lot of very negative lessons to girls. I do also think that uniforms which encourage girls to wear skirts/pinafores are encouraging girls in an old fashioned and essentially sexist stereotype. By wearing skirts to school girls are dissuaded from actively participating in all aspects of lessons:
- not wanting to reach for things
- not wanting to bend over to pick things up
- worrying in lessons that someone can/will look up their skirt
I don't see what is wrong with a pretty uniform? What negative lesson does that teach? You can bet that with no uniform a lot of girls will be spending an enormous amount of time thinking about their looks and what various clothes do for them. I remember at boarding school the agonising about what to wear after-school and the all-afternoon preparations for the school discos that went on.
My DD already has far more interest in clothes than I would like.
I also doubt that every girl would want to wear trousers. My secondary school had a smart casual no-uniform rule for the 6th form - don't think I ever wore trousers, I liked skirts and dresses.
Judging by the amount school skirts get hoiked up by their wearers I don't think many of them are that worried about someone seeing their knickers - or at least not enough to not roll the waistband over several times!
I don;t mind uniform, but why does it all have to be from one shop only, and each piece be set.
What is wrong with it being black trousers (for boys AND girls as they are warmer and more practical), a white polo shirt, and a jumper in the school colour, knitted by grandma, and so warm and cosy in these horrid cold days.
My children have to have set shirts/blouses (so no buying multi-packs for pennies from tesco), set pinstriped skirts, a logo'd jumper, a blazer, and a tie for my boys. And it all costs stupid money, and falls apart in the first term. Indeed, I was sewing the cuff/collar bit back on to the neck of DS1's jumper just last weekend.
Oh, and I would LOVE to know how socks make a difference. DS2 loves funky socks. ones with eyes on. ones with stripes. ones with monster feet.
I have had a letter telling me that he is not allowed to wear them anymore and must wear regulation grey socks, as it distracts from his learning.
they are hidden by his shoes, and his long black trousers. they are not on show and stuck to his head, whereby he would be clowning about and yes, dsitracting himself (and the class) from learning.
Pointythings, I know. People assume uniforms have magical properties. I see Emperor's New Clothes syndrome.
Pyrrah -- my DDs were in their parochial school to age 14, wearing their uniforms every day. The reason they spent soooooo long preparing for the school dances and felt they had to spend sooooo much money for outfits for the school dances was imo because they were simply blown away by the idea of expressing their own taste in clothes while spending time with their peers in school, for once. When they arrived in high school they were happy to throw on pretty much anything that was clean for school daily. The importance of clothes vanished almost overnight.
DS has to wear a uniform, but it's a sensible, slack dress code variety - blue or white shirt or polo shirt, grey trousers (skirt or pinafore option for girls but they can wear trousers too) and blue jumper, which can be plain or you can buy one with the school logo on if you want. That seems sort of fair enough to me: suggests to the DC that 'now you're at school and should think school-type thoughts' without being pointlessly pissy about things like sock colours and ties and blazers.
When it comes to picking a secondary school, a red flag/avoid for me would be 'very strict uniform rules'. Because that would suggest an obsession with conformity and obedience, which is not what I want DS to learn.
I think you have a point there, Solid.
We pulled DS out of a 'blazer and trimmings' type of school which blamed his problems with bullies on the fact that he didn't seem to try hard enough to fit in. He's happy (and unbullied) at a sweatshirt-and-polos school a few miles away -- same area, same sort of intake, different ethos.

Coldwater - Oak Hill Cemetery
On the end of a deep wide circular pit is a mausoleum. It is painted green vines have long since overgrown the name and front. Pictures taken on three different days and times (lighting) all show a mist in the top corner. One the shape of two figures is clearly visible. Vandals have written meg lives on the ground in front and a pentagram in red on the door. A deep sense of unease is felt in this circle. This is located in the old section of the cemetery you get a very strange feeling as you walk through it.

Black Box
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Pearson 34 bought recently. I do not have technical information and I need some help to identify the upper box (in red circle) due to the yacht was received without it.
Re: Black Box
Welcome Rigel. You'll get more responses if you post that in one of the other forums, not here in Introductions. That being said, the black box appears to me to be a battery charger. One was probably never installed on your boat, or at least not in that location, that's why you don't see it.
Re: Black Box
Many thank for your response. I will try in another Forum. With respect to my question, the yacht originally had installed this "black box". May be a battery charger or regulator voltage to charge the batteries.
Re: Black Box
Now I'm confused. So the picture was of your boat before you took ownership? That is, the battery charger was there when you toured/surveyed the boat, but it isn't there now?
Re: Black Box
Dear Jim,
This "black box" was there previously to be the new owner. I bought this yacht thru a broker in USA and after it was transported to Chile. Previously I received some photos of the yacht and one of them - specifically the propulsion system - had this box but it did not arrived to Chile.

I'm so in love with these shoes, I don't know if I'll ever buy any other brand but earth. They're perfect heels and great for my plantar fasciitis.
Write a comment here...
I hate dress shoes, but found these very comfortable. I generally have to get wide shoes, but the medium width with comfortably roomy. Enough so that I'd order a half size smaller next time.
These shoes were so unbelievably comfortable right out of the box, they felt like old favorites. They look great with whatever I pair them with, and I can wear them all day long at work, up and down, on and off my feet, without tiring in the least. I love the nice, solid heel - very stylish, but practical, and there's just exactly enough room in the toe without being boxy. I just can't say enough how much I love these shoes. The only thing I wish is that there were one or two more holes for the buckle, so I could cinch them on just a little tighter; they're in no danger of falling off, but I like my shoes a little more snug than these will go. Still, just utterly fantastic shoes!

Can you let me know when you have the Wanderlust in Black in a 9.5. I want to order them right away
1 Comment
The Wanderlust Black size 9.5 should be back in stock around July 15th.
I currently bought the black and grey wonderlust shoe and I am having difficulty with the metal bar on the side buckle when I try to remove the shoe the metal pin does not have movement and slides into the next hole then you pull the strap to try and release the metal pin and it slides into the next hole along mean while getting tighter as it is moving up the strap. I had to get my husband to hold the metal pin so I could release the strap, I have only worn them once as I cant wear them if my husband cant undo them they are so comfy but am unable to wear. Any suggestions?
Hi:. Wondering how I would know if I need a wide width. Any advice? Thanks!

Josh Groban in Concert has all the ingredients to be a long-running PBS staple: a young (21), good-looking performer with a golden voice; songs in Italian and Spanish for the crossover crowd (i.e., Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman) and pop and movie songs for the mainstream; guest stars galore (David Foster, John Williams, Angie Stone, Andrea Corr, Lili Haydn); a large orchestra; and striking but not obtrusive visual effects. The centerpiece of this DVD-CD combo (also available in a DVD keepcase) is the 80-minute concert DVD, filmed in Pasadena in October 2002 and featuring numerous songs from Groban's debut CD, including "You're Still You," which catapulted him into stardom when he sang it on TV's Ally McBeal. There are also two new songs--the ballad "Broken Vow," with Groban accompanied by Foster, and "For Always," with the orchestra conducted by John Williams, who wrote the song for the Steven Spielberg film A.I..
The 37-minute CD offers seven songs performed in the concert (including the two not on the previous CD, "Broken Vow" and "For Always"), plus "O Holy Night." The DVD has excellent picture and sound (PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS), interviews, and backstage footage, and the combination with the CD is an excellent value. Groban's fans, of course, will consider it a treasure at any price. --David Horiuchi

Tried to post this earlier but does not look like it worked.
So we went out for the usual before school clothes shopping experience yesterday. Talked my wife into letting me OC. She did not mind since we were carrying cash. BTW, I got funnier looks paying with cash than I did for carrying! Since yesterday went well I carried when we went back out to finish up today. Cool OC with the family 2 days in a row, I'm making progress.
We hit the road to the bank. Top the hill. Crap, checkpoint. My gun is on the dash way before my wife has her wallet out. I tell her to tell the sheriff we have an OC'd gun on the dash. She is freaking out a bit about it giving me the, " YOu should have driven" speal. So we pull up and my wife puts her license out the window. I'm kind of pointing at the gun on the dash so he knows. Sheriff looks at her license, says, thanks, and turns his back. Wife drive's off and we are both kind of looking at each other funny. Dude never even looked or gave her enough time to tell him about it. First odd but uneventfull experience.
Got to the bank and dicided to not carry inside, yet. Left the Glock in the van and jokingly told my wife to "cover my back." My holster was still on. Got the impression the manager made me as soon as I opened the door. Cashed my check and left. As I get in the van and rearmed, the manager steps out with a paper in his hand. Odd. As we back up he flags us down and tells me I dropped a dollar. I just cashed a check for several hundred of them but no ones. As I roll my hips to reach for my wallet I basically put the holstered Glock almost in his face. Check my wallet, try to tell him it's not mine. He hands it to me, tells me to have a nice day and goes back in the bank. Now it's twice odd but uneventful.
We dodge the license check on the way to the store. At the store my daughter decides I am in her way and grabs my holster to move me out of the way. Yikes!! There is a little don't touch daddy's holster conversation. Otherwise uneventfull carry in Walmart. Grab some lunch and head to the range. Shoot the Mark II and Glock 19 a few times.
On the way home I am passing a local gun shop about 4:55. If it's open I'm gonna see if they have any 9MM HP. Cars in the lot and the door is not barred. Park the truck and hit the door. I make 3 good steps in the shop, which is also a pawn shop, and realize a local cop is at the gun counter. Well, it's my luck today. Ask if they have any HP. The cop definitelly notices I am OC'ing. Cop tells me they don't even use HP. Then he says " Our hard ball has killed everyone we ever shot." I laugh and tell him that's quite the testimonial. Then he tells me if I shoot somebody with that HP ammo I need to send them a bill. By this time there is another officer behind him. We talk a little junk about FMJ and HP and bullet weights. I grab the box that is weighted the same as my FMJ and about pass out at the price. $53.49 out the door for 50 rds. Ouch!!! Three times odd but uneventfull, I'm going home for dinner. Hope you guys get a laugh out of this. Gonna xpost it a few places too.

Things seem a little slow hereabouts lately, so, for whatever its worth, I'll post my story pertaining to handguns.
I can't remember ever NOT being interested in handguns. My older brother brought back a Mauser M1910 from WWII, a .25 ACP, and that was the firsthandgun I ever shot. Our dismal performance that day prompted me to seek every bit of information about the handgun that I could. My first "gun book" was the Daisy Red Ryder Handbook.
As kids, we found various .38 S&W top-breaks, occasionally a .32 S&W, at local junk shops or second-hand stores. These could be found for $2 to $5, and with a little work, put into firing condition. Because they were cheap, we didn't mind tearing into their innards to work on them. There were a few attempts at home made guns, also. Kids don't know the difference between copper pipe and steel pipe, so we had a few barrels split. Again, because we were cautious, no real injury occured.
About my fifteenth birthday or so, around 1952~1954, I bought my first real revolver of my very own, a Colt New Service in .45 Colt. Around 1960 this became my first custom revolver, rechambered to .44 Special, adjustable sights, etc. I was hooked on the sixgun.
During the early 'Fifties, I was in the U.S. Army. An Infantry soldier, I was at one time the company armorer, and shot on two pistol teams. The first was on the 10th Infantry rimfire team, using then-new Ruger Mk. I target pistols. I was awful, but the others carried me and we won a trophy. Later I was on a .45 pistol team with the 3rd Infantry. We did fairly well, but got no trophy as I remember.
Out of the Army, I joined a local gun club and shot in several matches. I had no target grade guns at that time, and a friend loaned me a S&W K-22. For awhile, I shot my Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum in centerfire matches, using .38 Special wadcutters. I worked my way through Marksman and Sharpshooter stages before dropping out of bullseye competition. The lure of the big-bore guns called to me.
I hunted with a Colt Frontier Scout .22, taking squirrels and a rabbit or two. But the big magnums were calling. In the early 'Seventies, there was no handgun hunting of big game in Tennessee. Around 1971 or so I approached the (then) Tennessee Game and Fish Commission about legalizing that. To my surprise, I was listened to and accepted fairly. Within a year or so, Tennessee legalized big game handgun hunting.
Over the years I've gone with the Colt Gold Cup .45 ACP, done some shooting with a Colt Government Model ..38 Super, and shot every handgun I could get my hands on.
My first brand-new revolver was a Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum, and over the years, I seem to gravitate back to the Single Action.
So, with all due respect to your choices, I'll stick with my Single Actions, they have been my companion in the woods and fields, and now my daily companion for everyday life. I have found nothing to surpass them in accuracy, power, range, and especially beauty. These are som of my pet .44s, Three-Screw Rugers:
By my count, I have owned sixty-four handguns over the years, loaded over 100,000 rounds of ammunition, amassed a fair cartridge collection. If I had to do it al over again, I wouldn't change a thing!
