On my blog home page, it shows the most recent postings, which is what I want. However it shows the posts in their entirety, which is not my goal.
I'd like to have the main page show the most recent 10 or so posts I have made. But only showing the introduction of each post, where the reader would have to click on the post title to read the full post.
My page is currently showing the most recent 3 posts I have made, and my main page is probably 15 pages in length - looks pretty tacky.
I've gone to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading and changed the 'For each article in feed, show...' From "Full Text" to "Summary" but it didn't change what shows up on the main page.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The Gerald Durrell Story
Discover the new ITV series The Durrells
Click here
'Durrell', as our organisation is collectively known today, proudly bears the name of its founder, author and naturalist Gerald Durrell. Naturally, our story begins with his, and continues with his legacy.
You can 'start at the beginning' by visiting The Gerald Durrell Story Exhibition at Durrell Wildlife Park. For those of you who can't visit, here is a brief online journey through The Gerald Durrell Story!
Gerald Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India on 7th January 1925. As fate would have it, the first word he spoke was "zoo", and insisting on daily visits to the nearest menagerie. This was to be the beginning of an extraordinary journey for the young Gerald.
My Family and Other Animals
The untimely death of his father saw the remainder of his family reluctantly relocating to a rather less inviting climate and settling, albeit temporarily, in England. Tiring of the British weather, the family soon made the move to the enchanting Greek island of Corfu.
Here Gerald explored his passion for the animal kingdom with his inspirational tutor, Dr Theodore Stephanides. The backdrop was sunshine, happiness and the love and laughter of a doting, slightly eccentric family, celebrated by Gerald twenty years later in his most famous book, "My Family and Other Animals".
The Overloaded Ark
The outbreak of World War II a few years later saw the Durrell family returning to England. The young Gerald's interest in animals was not to be dampened by the climate, and he soon followed a career path that saw him move from Pet Shop Assistant to 'Odd Beast Boy' at Whipsnade Zoo.
Aged 21, a small inheritance allowed him to embark upon the life he had dreamed of - a heady mix of travel, adventure and zoology. As well as being rich in subject matter for his blossoming writing career, this period was to provide Gerald's most startling revelation – that species everywhere were on the decline. He resolved to create "a new kind of zoo".
Menagerie Manor
His vision that zoos could be a sanctuary, and work to provide a "reservoir for endangered species" was somewhat controversial in its time, and two years of frustrating searches for a location in England followed. In the meantime, his sister's garden became an unlikely, if not unsuitable place for a zoo!
A suggestion from his first wife Jacquie directed his search towards the Channel Islands. Within an hour of landing in Jersey, the beautiful Les Augres Manor had been secured for the purpose, its grounds providing the perfect venue. Gerald tirelessly sought support for his new zoo, and his enthusiasm was infectious. By July 1963, he had personally paid off the debts and established the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust!
Two in the Bush
During the 1960's Gerald travelled widely collecting both material for his books and television films, as well as animals for Jersey Zoo. The Trust survived a few early financial crisis thanks to the generosity of its Jersey supporters, and found its place on the world map as a centre for animal conservation, as well as a great place to spend a day out! The Trust began to gain a reputation for the best enclosures, animal health, natural behaviour and breeding.
Gerald and Jaquie visited many continents, and discovered many animal species they had never seen before. Amongst the many animals that Gerald chose to bring back to Jersey was the 'volcano rabbit' or teporingo - hardly a show stopper, but critically endangered, and highlighting how Gerald saw equal value in all life on earth - even what he termed "little brown jobs"!
The Stationary Ark
The 1970's was a great time for Gerald and the Trust! As well as gaining both a permanent home (Les Augres Manor was purchased by the Trust) and an awe-inspiring silverback gorilla; 'Jambo', Gerald gave a personal tour to HRH Princess Anne, who was to become both a Royal Patron and a dedicated supporter for many decades... and remains so to this day! Jersey Zoo hosted the first international conference on breeding endangered species, attracting many world leaders in the field.
Additionally, many of Gerald's famous friends helped lend weight to his fundraising efforts. This allowed him to make a pilgrimage to Mauritius the land of the dodo, where he began to work with another apparently 'lost cause', the Mauritius Kestrel. This rarest of raptors went from a population of four, to numbering in the hundreds, thanks to Gerald's determination.
Ark on the Move
In 1979, Gerald married a young American zoologist named Lee McGeorge, and the 1980's saw the pair working together to spread their shared passion for conservation far and wide. 1984 saw the Trust celebrating its 21st year, along with the 25th anniversary of Jersey Zoo. Gerald began to see his dreams come true - releasing wild animals bred in Jersey back to the wild, and establishing what would become Durrell Conservation Academy. He received many honours and awards, and his zoo and conservation biology work continued to break new ground.
The 1990's began with an expedition to Madagascar, an Island nation who's animals and people Gerald had described as being "in the greatest peril". There he collected animals for captive breeding programmes, as well as material for what was to be his last book. Despite his declining health, his determination to celebrate his 70th birthday with his many friends that helped him achieve his life's goals was characteristically strong... and on January 7th 1995, he achieved this too!
His Legacy...
Gerald Durrell died on the 30th of January 1995. Today, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust stands as the direct continuation of the Trust he created in 1963 and its mission; saving species from extinction. The name was changed from 'The Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust' in 1999, in our founder's honour. We continue to make a difference through pioneering work and sheer determination, and share his conviction that our work is absolutely vital to the wellbeing of the planet.
That the Trust enjoys an internationally respected, influential position today is thanks to the foresight, passion and drive of our founder. Our 'three pillar' strategy that combines Durrell Field Programmes, Durrell Conservation Academy and of course Durrell Wildlife Park to all work in harmony for biodiversity, just as Gerald had envisioned they would.
We'd like to think that Gerald would be enormously proud of his legacy, and that the achievements we continue to make - often against the odds - are done under the proud banner of his name.

Andersen's Fairy Tales
by Andersen, Hans Christian
Andersen's Fairy Tales Sin Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Tale Title.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"What have I done?" he sighed. "I have sinned as Adam did. Sinned and caused paradise to sink deeper into the earth." (The Garden of Eden.93)
No, friends, that's not an exaggeration: this dude literally messed up badly enough to cause paradise (a.k.a the garden of Eden) to sink deeper into the earth. Sucks to be him. Or, ya know, any human being at all, since in Andersen's Christian view, all humans are sinners.
Quote #2
The executioner opened his door and came outside. When he saw Karen he said, "Do you know who I am? I am the one who cuts off the heads of evil men; and I can feel my axe beginning to quiver now."
"Do not cut off my head," begged Karen, "for then I should not be able to repent. But cut off my feet!" (The Red Shoes.36)
Well, this is a gruesome little exchange. Karen knows that she sinned and now she wants to repent. But she can't repent if she's dead. So it's apparently better to have an executioner hack off your feet than it is to die from dancing yourself to death in a pair of cursed red shoes. We'll keep that one in mind.
Quote #3
The soul bowed down lower and lower as the godly wisdom entered him; and at last he felt what he had never felt before: the burden of his own arrogance, hardness, and sin. (On the Last Day.27)
So this dude dies, and his soul goes on a journey and finally reaches heaven. But before he can get in, he has to recognize that even though he's lived a more or less good life, he—like all other humans—is full of sin. We guess there is something kinda nice about admitting that none of us are perfect, right?

Based on 2
A traditional, historic cottage offering panoramic views of the ocean, this North Carolina vacation rental has wood-paneled walls with a distressed green finish offset by crisp white trim. Handsome and rustic in decor, the interior is beautiful and comfortable. Sleeps 4 (max.). 2 bedrooms (1Q-1Q). 1 full bath. (1) 4 passenger cart. Direct beach access. Sunday/Sunday. 5:30 p.m. arrival/11:30 a.m. departure.
We hadn't been back to Captain Charlie's II since our wedding night - it was a great escape! We had terrible weather but curled up on the couch with some wine and games. Being able to look out on the ocean rather than brave the elements was a special treat. And when the clouds finally parted the beach was right out our front door. Always a pleasure to stay at Ccii - it won't be the last time.
We have visited BHI many times and sadly our stay at CC2 left a bit to be desired. This house is really in need of an update. The location can't be beat, however for the amount that you spend to stay on BHI, the conditions of this home should be better. The weather wasn't great so we needed to spend a lot of time indoors. The couch and living room is definitely for show rather than use. We ended up moving the TV to an upstairs bedroom to watch movies. I realize it is an old home, but it honestly just felt dirty and run down.

Soldier Stuns Family by Returning Before Hockey Game
The NHL's Arizona Coyotes saved the season's best moment for the last game.
The NHL's Arizona Coyotes saved the season's best moment for the last game.
Homecoming is a fun celebration for most High School students. It's a day to cheer on your high school football team. It is also a day of anxiety when it comes to mums.
There was twice the amount of Christmas magic in the air for one mother this year.
The city of Canyon will be booming this weekend with a ton of fun events and football. West Texas A&M University is celebrating homecoming. The Thunder is Coming! So if you aren't working and don't have anything planned you probably want to make your way down to Canyon.
It's one of the most heartwarming, sob-inducing sights you'll see on the Internet: the soldier returning home from overseas, surprising his or her child. It never gets old, one of the genuine feel-good moments the Internet lets us see.
The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube videos of it all.
I absolutely love soldier homecoming videos, especially when these soldiers are surprising their kids. This video is awesome because dad dresses as Darth Vader and lets his son take him down, then unmasks him and wow the surprise!
Every time I see a Military Family surprise video it melts my heart. It also makes me cry every time. The joy in the faces of these family members when they see their loved one is amazing. This video is not different except thousands and thousands of people get to experience their joy first hand.
The service men and women of our country make huge sacrifices to fight battles on our behalf and keep the freedoms we hold dear.One of those sacrifices is being away from their families and loved ones for long periods of time. The only thing that makes this sacrifice bearable for most is the incredible sweetness of coming home, even if it is only for a short leave.
I love homecoming videos. They never fail to fill my heart with love and my eyes with tears. This video did the same thing only with a superhero twist.
Is there anything more adorable than a dog greeting its owner? How about a dog greeting its owner after they return home from military deployment? We dare you to watch this supercut of lovable pooches welcoming their owners home from military service and not get choked up.
I'll admit that this video brought tears to my eyes this morning. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be the parents, spouse, child of a soldier serving overseas.
You can tell from the tear that this mom wipes away in the video that she misses her son terribly. However, she has no idea what is about to happen on the ice as her and her husband prepare to drop the puck in honor of their son.

The Revolution Will Not Be Published
First of all, I have to sigh and restate my desire to get away from blogosphere conflicts that centre around white North American women. I consider the conflict itself a waste of time for me, since I don't think I'm going to make a difference to the business of the US feminist blogosphere by contributing on white peoples' blogs.
I am appropriating from this conflict a few specific issues which I want to address, because they caught my attention and jibed with a few other things I've been thinking about. But they do involve criticism of another blogger, who is being criticised for a few other things at the moment. If that hurts her feelings, well, ok.
I want to talk about the blogging v. book publishing and how the divergence between these two modes of communication reflects divergences in social justice work in general. My ideas about his have been informed by the work of Brownfemipower in writing about the nonprofit-industrial complex and blogging as a tool for liberation. (And yes, I'm referring to the Incite! Women of Color Against Violence anthology with a similar title, The Revolution Will Not Be Funded.)
I guess my other deleted comment* from the Feministe thread is a good place to start:
I don't buy that in the years of reading and commenting at Bfp's blog, Amanda didn't notice that Bfp was working on dealing with immigration as a feminist issue. I can remember, last year, Bfp blogging about every single issue that Marcotte mentions in her article. If Amanda wants credit for not being stupid, then she has to own up to paying attention to a blog she claims to read.
I also find the article in question highly bizarre since it doesn't mention a single immigrant women's/women of colour organisation which is working on the issues, despite Marcotte's willingness to make ambiguous statements about the relevance of feminism and intersectionality. Returning to Jessica Hoffmann's piece, it's clear that the state of feminism is such that it's women of colour who are the innovators and doing the most cutting-edge work. Hoffmann is one white woman who isn't afraid to credit specific woc for that work. So why the disappearing act with woc in Marcotte's article? Why do woc appear only as victims, but not the originators of the concept of intersectionality — one of the ideas which woc use to push for liberation?
It points to a common practice whereby white people render women of colour, especially radical woc activists, invisible. Where white women take credit for the innovations of woc. This is harmful to women of colour. It reduces the visibility of the resources which are out there, and it limits the growth of woc-initiated initiatives.
I for one don't trust Marcotte's judgement in deciding who is out to get her and who has genuine criticism. It's common for her to claim that her critics are jealous of her book deal. I find it interesting that accusations against her are egregious and unethical because she's a professional, but that she can attribute all kinds of motives to people who don't have book deals, and that's okay because writing isn't their livelihood. So accountability in the feminist movement has to go out the window to support those privileged women who get into positions of power? So the work of women of colour is less valuable than that of white women because woc are unpublishable (then again, Marcotte's publisher is Seal Press)? Again, I would expect that from conservative feminist organisations like NOW, not from people who are familiar with and accept the work of radical women of colour like Brownfemipower. I don't accept the implicit vanguardism in that formulation.
If it's personal and about Amanda Marcotte's livelihood, then it should be equally personal for Bfp and all the women of colour involved too. If Marcotte stands to have her means of making a living damaged by accusations of "stealing," what do woc stand to lose? And the answer is no less personal, no less vital, than the means of our existence too. Woc might not make our bucks by blogging, but woc have long criticised and resisted co-optation by capitalism as the strategy for achieving justice (and yes, Bfp blogged about this as well). For radical women of colour, blogging in itself is a tool for change, used in different ways than it is used by white liberal feminists.
Hence why white liberal feminists who do deal in capitalism have to face up to the onus of dealing justly with these alternatives. And that means not appropriating, and giving support to woc initiatives whenever possible. I do not see that Marcotte has done these things, and in fact has made a series of excuses to avoid doing them in the future.
The fact is, 'professionalisation' in feminism is not a new issue nor an issue specific to white US feminists. I have had a number of conversations with women around the world who have criticised the women who take up "leadership" positions in their regional/local/national feminist movements through a combination of class/ethnic/race/sexual/able-bodied privilege and professionalisation of feminist work.
The criticisms — that these women represent only a narrow agenda based on an even narrower conception of the problems, that they are self-serving and unresponsive, that their work is compromised by the agendas of business, academia and the state — are predictable and well-worn, but still have yet to be addressed or dealt with.
However, there's a bigger criticism out there. It's an elephant-sized issue, and hardly anyone talks about it. Anne Summers mentioned in a speech last year, but it's the first I've heard of it, and I want to explore it more.
That is, when you rely on bureaucratisation and incorporation of high-level leaders into the state and business, once the state decides it doesn't want to deal with women's issues any more, you're basically fucked. And this is what has happened to the Australian women's movement in the eleven years that John Howard was in power. Women's government agencies were consistently de-funded, attacked ideologically and dismantled, while sexist policies around abortion, welfare, family, childcare, maternity leave and workplace relations were put into place.
This is also occurring in the environmental movement, where large NGOs are becoming more conservative so as not to lose lobbying access, while ineffective and even dangerous policies are being pursued (e.g. increasing reliance on nuclear energy, carbon trading, bio-fuels, carbon sinks, 'clean coal', electricity privatisation).
It is not a new observation I'm making (regrettably, I'm at a loss for who to link on this, other than Paula Rojas, who I found via Bfp), but I would like to explore it further than it seems to have been. Specifically, I want to explore what kinds of consequences it has on social movements when relatively fragile (and I use the term relatively here, for contrast) social movements must interact with the agendas of the state, of business, and academia. For it seems to me that these interactions are often toxic, producing a huge level of division, disorganisation and ultimately, in destroying fragile coalitions and organisations.
The much larger apparatus' of the state, business and academia seem to appropriate the best energies of the activists whose genuine ingenuity and passion are co-opted into ossified hierarchical structures. And the movement responds by rallying support for those activists because they command unprecedented levels of power and mainstream credibility. Yet that credibility is premised on an overall tokenism about the issue at stake, be it ecological justice, women's liberation, racial justice, disability rights, or queer rights. The hierarchical accountability structures which authorise that credibility can muzzle the most radical activist (e.g. Peter Garrett).
In many cases, a lack of political will at the top co-exists with fluctuations in activist work in creating alternatives around an issue or set of issues. Howard's ruling out same-sex marriage rights hasn't stalled queer community-building, and the announcement of a "new paternalism" in Aboriginal affairs hasn't stopped Aboriginal activists from organising their communities. But when equal access to elite status becomes the goal of a political movement, it becomes apparent that it is no longer concerned with justice, and it develops a parasitic relationship with the grass-roots of that movement.
This is why I've started to believe in the concept of 'revolution', if not the actuality of a national revolution. It's because optimism about piecemeal change relies on putting your faith in incrementalism — the model where small changes accumulate on top of each other to eventually lead to a situation of greater justice. But the strategies of the system only reproduce injustices and inequalities in different ways. If you abolish legislative racial segregation without ousting the agents whose interests lie in certain types of labour and certain types of housing being devalued, then they will continue to be devalued. If you abolish nuclear energy without ensuring more ecologically sound energy production, you stand only to strengthen fossil fuel industries and pave the way for re-nuclearisation.
Ultimately, incrementalism only works insofar as goals stay the same while everything else changes.
We may be able to make a difference by initiating reforms which work against the logic of the existing system. But that requires deliberate and very considered work, involving a great variety of groups, to achieve. And to achieve that, we need spaces in which radical forms of democracy operate, so as to establish a level of independence from outside agendas.
This is why the most path-breaking work is outside most of the power structures in society, and why non-profit/non-governmental organisations, government agencies, and for-profit corporations lag so far behind in transforming society in the shape of radical justice. It's why the revolution will not be published, and certainly not by Seal Press. It's because the most groundbreaking feminist work isn't being published at all, and in fact is in an antagonistic relation to the publishing industry and the academic-industrial complex.
Perhaps grass-roots radicalism will frame the shape of a new, just society, because it needs to frame new ways of being to survive. Or perhaps those new ways of being are only transitional forms, or maybe they're just instrumentally useful. I'm not a soothsayer, so I don't have the answer to that. I do, however, believe that I need grass-roots radicalism to survive, and that I can see changes occurring because of what I do. That's good enough for me; I don't need a book deal.
* With Feministe and the thread in question I can readily believe it was just a case of caught-in-moderation, but it doesn't seem to have affected anyone else, and the mod restrictions seem lax enough that a pointless provocateur got through when I didn't. After the Seal Press imbroglio, I'm just a little bit sensitive to being censored for making reasonable criticisms, so excuse me if I need to joke about it to blow off steam.

Lordan, a former chemist, is a master of public policy student at the Harris School of Public Policy Research at the University of Chicago, with particular interests in international control of the nuclear fuel cycle and its relationship to nuclear nonproliferation.
Despite the recommendations of the 2012 Blue Ribbon Commission Report, the US government has made no substantial progress toward the permanent, or even temporary, consolidated storage of used civilian nuclear fuel.
For months, and perhaps years, lessons will be learned from the events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, which will serve as both a laboratory and a classroom. As the sequence of events leading to the accident continued through the accident response, at least one concept was made clear: When operating reactors, defense-in-depth -- the technical concept of multiple layers of safety backup systems -- must incorporate a series of active backup systems (meaning that they require human intervention) that must be operable to forestall single-point catastrophic failures.

Hi everyone,
I'm rebuilding my website: http://www.g-cg.com
And I chose the twentyeleven theme as i like what they're doing with banners.
I changed the colors to the night theme but I would like to change the color of the main body where the posts appear over to something a tad lighter.
I have already created a child theme and found where to change the banner color using this code:
#branding { background: #1c1c1c;}
That successfully changed the banner but now I don't know how to change the rest of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as now the two colors clash :(

Our representative on the Santa Clara Valley Water District's board, Richard Santos, weighed in with some wise words on this page last week. Despite a few rains, he reminds us, the drought is far from over. The countywide agency in charge of imported water from state and federal sources has now been told it must endure sharp cutbacks in supply. Federal Bureau of Reclamation water from the Sierra watersheds will be sliced in half for domestic and industrial uses and delta water from the state cut to zero. The local district will get zero imported water to offer for agricultural use in this county.
It's all indicative that conservation measures will have to be imposed. The Hetch Hetchy system which supplies the City of Milpitas with most of the water used for homes here hasn't yet weighed in its water-saving recommendations.
As yet no one is talking about penalties for excessive water use, although such surcharges were tacked on the local water bills in previous drought situations. The other pocketbook consideration is that a major reduction in local water use by volunteer efforts could blast a hole in the budget for providing water service and thus don't be surprised if there is a need to raise water prices.
Experts agree that while California is a semi-arid climate area anyway, global warming has likely made things worse.
More than 80 percent of the state's water goes for farming. The price encourages gas-guzzling crops like cotton and similarly thirsty livestock raising. And much of the state has yet to put a meter on water supplies and wells. Overhead spray irrigation too is wasteful compared to drip systems. But even in the agricultural areas, as much as a half million acres of land this year will go fallow because not everyone has the good deep wells or the low price guarantees.
Back here in our valley our cities are beginning to look at a way of recharging the underground with recycled water. It is already now being treated before being pumped into lines for landscaping and industrial use in Milpitas and a half dozen other cities hooked up the San Jose-Santa Clara sewage treatment plant.
Local residents can pitch in a positive way as well.
Many homeowners are getting rid of lawns, choosing instead to go with native plants that are much more drought tolerant. The water district and some cities are offering subsidies for every square foot you exchange this way in your front and back yards.
Other ways to do the personal bit include low-flow toilets and showerheads. A "gray-water" system can help you create your own program of re-use. Tips on how this is done can be had from city hall or on the water district's website, which is valleywater.org/drought2014.
This isn't going to go away.

Kelli Taylor, R.Ac., RNCP, NAET Certified
Kelli Taylor is a Registered Acupuncturist at Elements Wellness Centre & Studio. She is a graduate of the five year Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program at the International College of TCM in Vancouver. In May 2006, Kelli had the pleasure of doing her 5th year internship in China at the Anhui Hospital in the city of Hefei. There she spent two months working in various departments in both the in-patient and out-patient buildings under different TCM doctors. This tremendous experience has allowed Kelli to become a better acupuncturist today.
Kelli started her health career as a nutritionist and is a graduate at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. While working one on one with nutritional clients she realized the link between digestive disorders and food allergies. She decided to go study with Dr. Devi Nambudripad in Los Angeles to learn the NAET allergy elimination technique protocol. NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free, natural solution to eliminating allergies. She has found it be to very helpful in bringing balance and harmony in the body and has been able to help numerous people live symptom free lives over the past ten plus years.
Another interest for Kelli is Women's Health and Well-being. She has done extra studies in infertility, pregnancy, PMS, dysmenorrhea and other women's issues. She has had great success in helping women conceive, reduce and/or eliminate period pain, reduce and/or eliminate hormonal migraines, reduce stress and create a better healthier body.
Recently, Kelli has joined the InspireHealth team to treat cancer patients with acupuncture. These patients are going through chemotherapy and radiation and have decided to combine both eastern and western medicine to heal. Kelli finds this type of work extremely rewarding and she feels tremendous gratitude to be working together with the extraordinary team at Inspire.
Kelli has also been certified in Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Reiki level one and level two, all of which she incorporates aspects of each therapy into her acupuncture treatments. She has also completed the NADA (National Acupuncture Detox Association) training as well.
Kelli completed level one and two of the NIS (Neurolink) Modules and is now an Academy 1 graduate. This unique modality has had Kelli fascinated for the past ten years and she is very happy to have this part of her practice. This treatment is something only a handful of people are trained and practicing in BC.
Mission Statement
I am dedicated to helping each individual live their healthiest life possible!

Witnesses say that 19-year-old Niall was visibly shaken as he climbed from the vehicle.
Harry Styles (18), Zayn Malik (19), Liam Payne (19) and Louis Tomlinson (19) had been picked up by three vehicles at Heathrow Airport in London after their visit to Japan.
Once he was out of the car, Niall hopped into another people carrier and the car sped off.
A fan said: "They all waved as they went past, then the crash happened so suddenly. It must have been terrifying -- the car's wheels lifted off the road.
"We saw Niall climbing out. He looked shaken up but didn't seem hurt. He got into a people carrier and they drove off again."
A source close to the band said that the crash was "a shock but thankfully everyone was fine."
Niall passed his driving test earlier this year after taking an intensive 25-hour driver's course.
Last January Louis Zayn and Niall suffered whiplash when a car struck their tour bus in Birmingham.

FAQs for Arts in Ed and Exploratory Enrichment
Welcome to Eastern Suffolk BOCES Arts-in-Education services, where we are committed to the role that the arts play in the education of the Whole Child.
The arts and artists presented through Arts-in-Education (AIE) programs promote personal growth and community understanding by enabling students to process and create meaning from what they learn about people, events and places. Educationally, the arts have a place in the classroom not only for their own sake, but also as rich, relevant and integral connections to classroom work that support as well as align with and enliven core curriculum. Exploratory Enrichment (EE) offers meaningful programs that do not address arts standards.
Program Services:

Adobe Acrobat PDF
AIE services offers the Arts-in-Education & Exploratory Enrichment Program Catalog of over 1000 programs, including
which include: program descriptions, standards alignment, grade level suitability, cost, contact information, and more. These programs are categorized by various art forms and by curriculum areas. The AIE office also maintains a database of performer evaluations from the previous year in which schools rate the programs they have received in four areas: artistic quality, educational quality, student response and presenter interaction, as well as technical quality. Teachers also note reasons why they would/would not recommend a program to other school districts.

Creative Classroom Collaboratives: http://creativec3.org
Puppeteers, master storytellers, beatboxing string trios, ballerinas and steppers, high quality performances and teaching artists' residencies were just a few of the components of the very successful
Creative Classroom Collaboratives (C3).
This 4 year school reform model was developed by the Arts in Ed office and funded by the US Dept of Education's Arts Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) grant program.
This dynamic program introduced students and teachers to new ways of learning through creative engagement. Partnering with Riverhead and William Floyd schools (Suffolk County, LI, NY) and working with grades 2-4, the project provided vibrant workshops in arts integration and 21st c skills for formal and informal educators. These sessions enabled teachers to conceptualize and plan enduring learning units with teaching artists in preparation for select artistic performances. All work, linked to the NYS and national learning standards, was intended to enable students to meet challenging expectations and to improve student and school performance. See website at:
Other services available from AIE include:
Advisory Council Meetings - Regularly scheduled, informative meetings for school district and cultural arts representatives.
Block-Booking - Cooperative scheduling enables bookings of programs from distant artists.
Calendar Monthly - Monthly calendar of Suffolk County AIE events for previewing programs booked in other schools.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
by T.S. Eliot
Epigraph Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,
Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
- The epigraph of this poem is a six-line quotation from Canto 27 of the Inferno by the Renaissance Italian poet Dante Alighieri.
- And no, Eliot doesn't translate it out of the Italian, which is the kind of stunt that makes people think Eliot is a snob. We really can't defend him on this charge, except to say that he was absolutely and totally obsessed with Dante and maybe he thought other people loved Dante as much as he did – enough to translate the quote for themselves.
- Sneaky little references to Dante pop up everywhere in Eliot's poems, but this one is more obvious – it's a direct quotation.
- The Inferno tells the story of how a guy (Dante) who has messed up his life badly enough to require some help from the nice folks in heaven. In order to scare him away from sin and other bad things, heaven sends another poet named Virgil to give Dante a guided tour through the horrors of Hell (known as "Inferno" in Italian). Along the way he meets a lot of evil and misguided people.
- The quote from this epigraph is said by one of the characters in the eighth circle of Hell (which has nine circles), where some of the worst of the worst are stuck for eternity. This particular guy's name is Guido da Montefeltro, and when Dante asks to hear his story, here's what he says:
- "If I thought that my reply would be to someone who would ever return to earth, this flame would remain without further movement; but as no one has ever returned alive from this gulf, if what I hear is true, I can answer you with no fear of infamy."
- What does this quote mean? Well, Dante is really curious to know why Guido ended up so far down in Hell. But Guido is selfish. He's afraid that people back on earth will find out about the horrible stuff he did – he's concerned about his reputation.
- On the other hand, Guido knows that no one has ever entered Hell and made it out again, so he figures that it's safe to tell his story because Dante is stuck here.
- Unfortunately for Guido, Dante is the first human ever to be allowed to pass through Hell and "return to earth," so people do eventually find out about Guido's sins…from reading the Inferno.
- One other thing we should mention: Guido doesn't even have a body in Hell – he's not worthy of that – so his entire spirit is just a "flame" that "moves" when he talks. When he says, "this flame would remain without further movement," he means, "I would shut up and not talk to you anymore."
- Last thing: What did Guido do? Essentially, Guido committed terrible atrocities in war.
- But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that he tried to have himself forgiven before he committed these atrocities. He basically thought he could out-smart God and get into heaven despite doing things that he knew were really bad. It's like if before you broke your mother's favorite lamp you asked her, "Mom, if I broke this lamp right now, would you forgive me? . . . Yes? OK." CRASH!
- (Note to Guido: You can't outsmart the creator of the universe.)
- Why does Eliot choose this epigraph for his poem? Well, it suggests a couple of things. First, that "Prufrock" might not be a poem about good people, but about bad ones pretending to be good. The setting of the poem is a kind of hell.
- Second, it tells us that this fellow Prufrock, who is singing his "love song," might be concerned about his reputation like Guido. In other words, Prufrock is going to tell us things because he thinks we won't have a chance to repeat them to other people.

The Spiritual Orientation of K-12 Public School Principals. Edition No. 1
- May 2009
- 88 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
This study examined the spiritual attitudes of K-12
public school principals. Data were collected and
analyzed regarding the spiritual transcendence
orientation of K-12 public school principals.
Piedmont's Spiritual Transcendence Scale (1999, 2003)
was utilized to gather data including demographic
variables and spiritual attitudes. Statistical
analyses indicated a difference in spiritual
transcendence orientation between elementary public
school principals and secondary public school
principals, and between women and
men in these roles. There was not a significant
difference found among age categories in the K-12
public school principal respondents studied. Female
and elementary school principals reported the highest
levels of spiritual transcendence. It was the
intention of this research to contribute to a base of
knowledge regarding the spiritual transcendence
