Wines of the Month
April, 2001
When most people think of April, they probably think of showers, but as you probably already know, I'm a little different. I think dry. During the winter months, sweet wines can be a comfort, smoothing the hard, cold edges of the day. When the snow is blowing outside, a nice Port and a warm fire seem like the perfect antidote. However, when the days start getting longer, and the buds start sprouting on the trees, the comfort of a sweet drink doesn't seem quite as necessary anymore.
It's April, and that means spring is here at last. Well, at least for people who live in a less, uh, severe, part of the northern hemisphere -- looking outside at the gray Boston weather is starting to make me wonder a bit... But never mind; the weather is better than it was in January, which qualifies as spring for me. And when spring arrives, I start thinking about crisp, dry whites. On a warm, sunny day, these wines seem to shout the promise of a fresh start, with bright flavors that resonate with the colors of the myriad blossoms in the gardens and parks.
At the same time, the perfect spring wine should be a bit more weighty than the light trifles of summer. The lazy days have not yet arrived, after all. Spring wines should keep you on your toes, and make you feel ready to get outside, whether to plant summer vegetables, repair the ravages of winter, or just to get a glove and ball to play catch with your kids.
Fortunately, the dedicated vintners of Alsace and Austria have just the Rieslings to fit the season. Bright and lively, with plenty of acidity to wake you up after a long winter, these wines say "spring" to me. Generous fruit flavors seem to promise the coming bounty of summer, while the serious (but not ponderous) demeanor tells you that you're not there yet...
Pierre Sparr Riesling Carte D'Or Alsace '97 -- Generous
aromas of pear and peach, followed by flavors of pear, peach and
melon, with a hint of pineapple and a touch of spice. Lush mouthfeel.
Not as much acid as I would expect in an Alsace Riesling. Turns soft
on the finish, with more pear and melon flavors. Not enough
structure to age, but very nice now.
E.u.M. Berger Riesling Gedersdorfer Steingraben Qualitatswein
Kremstal '98 -- This Austrian beauty has aromas of cola, apple,
pineapple, and some minerals. Good fruit flavors, with apple,
pinapple, some grapefruit, and a hint of peach. Flavors of wet stones
and cola add some complexity. Finishes very strong, with more fruit
flavors, good acidity, and a hint of petrol. This could age nicely
for a few years, and even better, it cost less than $15.
Charles Schleret Riesling Herrenweg Turckheim Alsace '95 --
Schleret is a perennial favorite value in Alsace wine. The crisp
apple, mineral, and cola aromas aer echoed in the mouth, along with a
bit of peach. Softer than many of Schleret's wines, but still has
plenty of acidic structure. Long finish dominated by mineral and
cola, along with some peach flavors. A bargain at $17.
As always, your comments are welcome.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
not that this has any relevance to the topic at hand, and i'm sorry for that, but as I was reading this I realized that I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about. What is MMR? what do you mean by winning gain of 47? how does the team rating affect their score? Why is it significant that they lost 47 points when they won 47 points?
Would it be possible for someone at wow.com to post a "for noobs" explanation of the arena system, arena ratings work, and the way match-making works? If you have already done so, would someone be so kind as to link me to it?
Adam Holisky said...
I'll ask some folks to look into writing that, it'd be a good guide.
In the mean time, check out the WoWWiki page on arena ratings: http://www.wowwiki.com/Arena_PvP_system
MMR is the Matchmaking Rating, and it was introduced midway into Season 5. It initially caused lots of confusion because many players were somehow losing rating or gaining extremely little for wins, as compared to losses. Those issues kinda got fixed by Season 6 when all teams started at 0 instead of 1500 rating.
Your MMR determines what teams you face, and how much you win/lose from battles.

Some people's hobbies are more like the ultimate Ironman challange in patience. You know the thingls like the ships in the bottle or intricate structures built with nothing but the millions of matches. This one is another hymn to the patience—the whole city made of millions of toothpicks. It was started in 1982 and still in progress.
One thought on "The City Made of Toothpicks"
Patience. No. This is not about patience. This is about peace of mind. About inner serenity.

Originally from Minneapolis, MN, I am a software engineer, designer, and photographer living in downtown Winona, MN. Early in the 21st century I studied computer science in North Dakota, but before graduating moved to Madison, WI to work as a computer consultant. While there I became inspired by the local food movement. In 2009, I became an apprentice on a small, diverse Wisconsin family farm. After the 2009 farming season, I moved back to Grand Forks, ND to put what I learned about farming and local food to use. In Grand Forks I worked as the produce manager at the local food cooperative, started a community garden, and founded a housing cooperative.
I take photographs with a collection of old, film-era, manual-focus, "fast" lenses. The digital SLR camera body, with its increasingly sensitive image sensor, coupled with wide-open apertures, allow me to push the limits of available light, depth of field and dynamic range. In many ways my computer ➞ farmer ➞ baker progression mimics the combination of using "old" lenses with "new" digital camera bodies; appropriate technology can be the best of both worlds.

The Red Sox and Pirates are close to a deal involving Joel Hanrahan
12/22/12 in MLB | Pat | 5232 respect
Hanrahan has quietly been one of the best closers in baseball over the past couple years, racking up 76 saves in the past two seasons and earning consecutive All Star appearances. His ERA in 2011 and 2012 combined was 2.24.
He averages a strikeout per inning, and has better than a 2/1 ratio of strikeouts to walks.
There's no telling how he'll handle the transition from Pittsburgh to Boston, and that could be a serious issue, since the two cities are remarkably different in how they handle their baseball teams. Hopefully for the Red Sox' sake, he can handle the additional media scrutiny that will undoubtedly be present in Boston.
Various reports say that the Red Sox will send 1B/OF Jerry Sands and pitchers Mark Melancon and Stolmy Pimentel to the Pirates in the deal.
Hanrahan will immediately become a strong candidate to take over the closing job in Boston. Andrew Bailey was supposed to be the closer last year, but was injured for most of the season. Time will tell whether or not he'll get his job back.
This is a move designed to strengthen both bullpens. The Red Sox had a couple lower-tier arms available, and needed a stud reliever. They're getting that in Hanrahan. The Pirates, on the other hand, needed more depth, and they'll get that with Melancon and Pimentel. Also, Hanrahan is one year away from free agency, and it was doubtful that he would stay in Pittsburgh anyway.
This is a solid move for the Red Sox, but their starting rotation still has some huge question marks that will need to be addressed before anyone really takes them seriously in 2013.

Paula Corbin Jones (born Paula Rosalee Corbin; September 17, 1966) is a former Arkansas state employee who sued U.S. President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment. The lawsuit was dismissed before trial on the grounds that Jones failed to demonstrate any damages. However, while the dismissal was being appealed, Clinton entered into an out-of-court settlement by agreeing to pay Jones $79,999.
Before the case reached trial, Judge Susan Webber Wright granted President Clinton's motion for summary judgment, ruling that Jones could not show that she had suffered any damages. Jones appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, where, at oral argument, two of the three judges on the panel appeared sympathetic to her arguments.
On November 13, 1998, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000, the entire amount of her claim, but without an apology, in exchange for her agreement to drop the appeal. Robert Bennett, Clinton's attorney, still maintained that Jones' claim was baseless and that Clinton only settled so he could end the lawsuit and move on with his life. In March 1999, Judge Wright ruled that Jones would only get $200,000 from the settlement and that the rest of the money would pay for her legal expenses. Before the end of the entire litigation, her marriage broke apart and she appeared in the news media to show the results of a nose job paid for by a donor.
Jones' legal fund did not cover the attorneys' fees, and Jones's personal life was disrupted during the controversy: she was divorced by her husband, purchased a house after the settlement, and incurred a large tax bill, then posed nude forPenthouse magazine, claiming that she would use the money to pay the tax and fund her two grade-school-aged children's college education.

VSC: Search for interim chancellor beginsBy Josh OGormaN
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | August 02,2014MONTPELIER Trustees for the Vermont State Colleges system have begun their search for an interim chancellor.
The board adopted a resolution Thursday to search for a temporary chancellor, giving trustees some breathing room to search for a permanent replacement for Chancellor Tim Donovan, who is retiring at the end of the year.
The resolution says the boards executive committee which includes half of the 14 trustees will review a list of submitted names and winnow it down for the full board, which will choose the interim chancellor.
Each member of the board which includes Gov. Peter Shumlin and the five college presidents may submit as many as three names to the executive committee. Presidents and board members can nominate themselves, and nominations can be made anonymously.
Nominations are due Sept. 1 and will be reviewed Sept. 9 by the executive committee. The panel will offer a shorter list for the full boards consideration at its retreat later that month.
The decision to search for an interim chancellor will give the board plenty of time to search for a permanent successor to Donovan. According to minutes from an executive committee meeting in July, experts weighing in on the timeline said it could take up to a year.
To allow enough time, the interim chancellor can be appointed for up to and possibly beyond one year.
I think this is the most important thing this board will do in the next few years, but the procedures should not be set in stone, said Martha OConnor, chairwoman of the trustees. We may have a saint that appears out of nowhere, and I want us to be flexible so we can appoint the best person going forward.
VSC trustee Jerry Diamond said when the time comes to search for a permanent chancellor, the search committee should include a broader range of representation from the state colleges community.
When we have done searches in the past, we have included the larger community, OConnor said.
She said representation from the wider college community isnt necessary when searching for an interim chancellor.
It seems the board is comfortable with the executive committee handling this, OConnor said. But when it comes time to do a search for a permanent chancellor, well most likely include other members of the college community.
She encouraged anyone interested in the interim job to contact a college president or one of the trustees. A list of the trustees can be found online at goo.gl/UGoHfb.

This would be for me, hence why it's in general rather than recommended suppliers.
I'm both pleased and slighty scared by a site that sells wedding dresses alongside tattoo machines and motorbike parts (300+ different farings), so I thought I'd ask the hivemind.
Are they legit? They don't have that "everything for a pound shop" vibe, but it just seems too good to be true.

Got a Valentine lined up?
Valentine's Day is coming up just around the corner. We think our Kiss Pop Art Wall Panel would make a perfect gift :).
What do you think?
Ever Been Abducted?
Because No One Else Has One
If there's anything that makes a dorm feel more like home, it's adding a bit of your own personality, and a bright yellow alien will certainly add personality to any dorm room.
What do you guys think?
Make a Dark Dorm Appear Light and Bright
Living in a tiny dorm definitely has it's pros and cons (okay, I admit probably more pro's than cons), and one of the cons is definitely the chance that you'll be living in an apartment with little to no natural light. Most likely, you're going to end up with a room with a tiny window at one end, and a lone boob light in the middle of the room. That's it.
So if you don't have the money to pay for a fantastic apartment (like the one pictured above) with gorgeous, streaming sunshine, there are a few other ways to ensure you're space isn't the dank, dungeon you're terrified of ending up in.
1.) Lighten the walls. If you never excelled in your 7th grade science class, don't worry, here's a quick lesson in how light works: light colors reflect light, dark colors absorb it. Now I'm sure you aren't allowed to completely re-paint your room (and if you are allowed, go for it!), so try other things. I once lived in a room for 5 months that was dark, (and I'm talking dark), royal blue, with no windows. So I hung up light, baby blue sheets on the walls, and it made a world of a difference!
2.) Add lights throughout. Like I mentioned earlier, your room probably comes with one main light source in the middle of the room, leaving the corners of your room looking sad, dark, and if I may…a bit creepy. Make sure to add light in these little edges of your room. Adding some floor and table lamps can really brighten up a room. Even a corner night-light (like the one shown below) can make a huge difference.
3.) Hang mirrors. Mirrors are often one of the most underused items in a small space. They not only bounce light around the room, but they also give the illusion that there is more space. And what's even better, a mirror can fit into any interior design motif. They can be edgy, graphic, hip, romantic, vintage or modern. Hang a large mirror or go for a "collected" collage of smaller mirrors. Feel free to be creative!
4.) Choose the right accessories. Just as mirrors will help bounce light around a room, so will other reflective surfaces. Think crystal chandeliers or metallic lamps. In addition, understand what takes up "visual weight" in a room. A thick, dark, wooden side table will seem to weigh down the room, while a light and airy glass and metal table will almost seem invisible to the eye, creating the illusion of more space.
5.) Add plants. Bringing in a little of the outdoors makes any room automatically seem more fresh. Even a small box of herbs on the kitchen counter will be sure to keep your room feeling a bit more upbeat. Just be sure you're not bringing home something like a bouquet of oriental lilies, and they can become incredibly overwhelming in a small space.
How do you make your dark, dungeon-like room a little brighter?

Ingredient Spotlight: Porcini Powder
Like porcini mushrooms? You've got to get some porcini powder for your spice cupboard. This stuff is like umami-packed magic fairy dust for your food. Once you start sprinkling, it's hard to stop.
I've been keeping my eye out for porcini powder ever since I first read about it in David Tanis's recipe for Wild Mushroom Ragout in Heart of the Artichoke. I finally found it at Far West Fungi, the San Francisco mushroom vendor where Tanis likely finds his porcini powder, too!
It's worth whatever mountains you have to climb or specialty stores you have to comb to find this stuff. Porcini mushrooms are already next to truffles in their gourmet status, and this powder helps bring that same deep, savory, chocolatey flavor to...well, everything.
So far, I've added it to soup bases, risottos, cream-based pasta sauces, and casseroles. I've mixed a little scoop with starchy pasta water to make a quick sauce, and rubbed it into steaks before grilling. I've even sprinkled it over popcorn for a savory midnight snack. Any dish that could use an extra boost of deep umami flavor is a potential candidate for porcini powder.
This powder isn't cheap, I'll admit. This 4-ounce bag was a whopping $20, making it one of the most expensive seasonings in my cupboard. But a little really does go a long way, and this pouch has lasted me several months. The price is also not unreasonable considering how incredibly expensive actual porcini mushrooms can be.
If Far West Fungi is out of your way, look for porcini powder at gourmet and specialty grocery stores. You can also find it online:
• Porcini Powder from Far West Fungi, $5 for one ounce
• Porcini Mushroom Powder from Purcell Mountain Farms, $7.60 for four ounces
• Porcini Powder from JR Mushroom and Specialties, $9.00 for four ounces
Have you cooked with this seasoning before? What are your favorite uses?

Yum-ami is more like it. You can also buy the whole dried ones and blend yourself--not that expensive, even at Whole Foods.
I always get stuck getting dried ones. Never thought to get powder! What a great idea.
I have friends who had a very serious allergic reaction (blisters in their mouth and throat - went to the ER - in pain for weeks) because they used home-made dried shitake powder on their food. It's not a reaction that 100% of the population will have, but it's not an insignificant % of people either. The NYT had an article on this very thing in the Magazine Section a few months ago.
I would be cautious of this unless one is sure that it's 100% porcini. Not everyone will have this reaction, but if you do it will be bad.
I have seen these before but was always deterred by the price and what exactly to do with it. After you article it sounds perfect for our house!
I make my own porcini powder by grinding up dried porcinis in the dry blade container of my vita-mix. One of the best additions has been to pasta dough, replacing a bit of the flour with mushroom powder. It makes a homemade pasta with a wonderful, deep umami flavor. Usually toss with a sauce of mushroom, cream/milk, peas, shallots, wine and prosciutto.

You are here:home > Environment > Planning services > Planning permission > Design and access statements
From 10 August 2006 Design & Access Statements (DAS) have been required for all outline and full applications for planning permission (including Listed Building Consent)
Below is an FAQ of the most common questions regarding this document and at the bottom of the page you will find links to other helpful documents and websites.
It is a short report to accompany both outline and full planning applications for certain types of permissions and consents, and generally will be required for all planning and listed building consent applications.
They were introduced with effect from 10 August 2006. The changes have arisen through amendments to the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010 (DMPO).
If you do not submit a design and access statement with the appropriate applications they may be made invalid and delay the outcome.
Engineering/Mining operations
Development to or within the curtilage of an existing dwelling house (householder applications), unless it is listed or in a designated area such as a National Park, Site of Special Scientific Interest, Conservation Area, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or World Heritage Site
Advertisement applications
Tree Preservation Orders
Applications for the storage of hazardous substances
The report needs to explain the design thinking behind an application, to show that the applicant has thought carefully about how everyone, including disabled people, older people and young children will be able to use the places they want to build.
It provides an opportunity for the applicant to demonstrate his/her commitment to achieving good design and ensures accessible design. Statements should include a written description of the proposal and a justification for the application. Photographs, maps and drawings would be helpful to further illustrate the points made. For most straightforward applications, the statement will be short, whereas for more complicated applications we will require a detailed report.
A good design and access statement must demonstrate steps taken to appraise the context of a proposed development. To gain a good understanding of context and to use it appropriately applicants should follow a design process, which includes:
The design process - explain the design principles and concepts applied to particular aspects of the proposal.
Amount of development - how much will be built on site, number of units/floor space, reasons for quantity Use - what buildings and spaces will be used for
Layout - how the buildings, routes and open spaces (both private/public) are to be arranged on site and their relationship to each other. Explain and justify how these relationships will help create safe, vibrant and successful places. Scale - how big the buildings and spaces will be in terms of their height/ width /length in relation to their surroundings.
Appearance - details of materials/architectural details, decoration, lighting, colour and texture.
Landscaping - treatment of private and public spaces, hard and soft landscaping. Statements should also explain how landscaping will be maintained.
Access – to the development for all users, to the public transport network, emergency services where relevant.
For guidance on how to write these statements, view the Design and access statements guide at the bottom of the page.
Where a planning application is submitted in parallel with a listed building consent, a single, combined statement should address the requirements of both. Neither application should be submitted without the corresponding statement being included. Statements should also include:
A brief explanation of how the design has taken into account the historic and special architectural importance of the building
The particular physical features that justify its designation as a listed building
The building's setting
The statement should detail any specific issues that arise because the building is listed, and if it is not possible to provide inclusive design, this needs to be expanded upon in the statement.
Statements should make clear how the approach to access has balanced the duties imposed by the Disability Discrimination Act where the proposal is subject to those, and the particular historic/architectural significance of the building.
It is a communication tool to enable design rationale to be more transparent to stakeholders including the local planning authority and general public and so should avoid use of excessive technical jargon.
Statements will be made public and issued to consultees for reference.
Local planning authorities will use Design and Access Statements to assess the design of proposals against relevant policies and proposals set out in Local Development Documents.
Development approved by outline planning permission will be constrained to parameters described in the statement and future decisions will also be consistent with this.
Further information required by the local planning authority as reserved matters, will build on the original Design and Access Statement and will be requested through conditions in outline planning permission.
Design and Access Statements can aid pre-application discussions and bring key issues forward early for consideration in design development.

Frank Mir Believes He Is An "Excellent Test" For Cormier, Looking Forward To Welcoming Him To The UFC
Found January 14, 2013 on The Flying Knee MMA:
PLAYERS: Frank Mir, Daniel Cormier
Former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir is generally used to being called out by ambitious heavyweight fighters. His crisp striking and ruthless submission game make him a noticeable target for any heavyweight interested in making a name for themselves or working their way into the upper echelon of the division. The latest heavyweight to campaign for an opportunity against Mir is Strikeforce Grand Prix champ Daniel Cormier, who is fresh off a second round stoppage win over Dion Starling at the Strikeforce finale. Mir has agreed to meet Cormier in the Strikeforce cage back on November 3rd but a training injury forced him out of the bout. With his recovery close to 100% Mir is certainly interested in rescheduling the heavyweight match-up–this time in a UFC octagon. "I'm hoping that Cormier has a very good outing against his opponent, who I can't recall his name right now," Mir told Heidi Fang at the MMA Awards, "The fact that we all don't know his name very well, I'm assuming that mea...

Follow-Up: Buying a Part at the Junkyard
Published on - November 11th, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
Several weeks ago I shared Matildaben's question about junkyards.
Should I get a car part at a junkyard/salvage yard/auto recycler, and how do I go about it? I need a side mirror assembly for a 1998 Nissan Sentra. Should I get it at a junkyard?
Both AskMetafilter readers and Get Rich Slowly readers told her, "Yes, go to a junkyard. It's worth it." Matildaben wrote the following update:
I went to Nix Auto Wrecking in Ballard, which I found using the car-part.com. We didn't get a chance to go into the junkyard itself — the helpful employee, Matt, went back himself and took the mirror off the car, to which it was still attached. We waited about 20 minutes for him to do this. I took some photos of the lobby and areas accessible therefrom. The mirror cost about $60.
I have a repair guide I bought off eBay when I first got the car, and there was a short paragraph on how to replace the mirror. There's a little black plastic cover on the inside of the door that I was able to snap off, and the mirror is attached by three screws and the electricals are attached by one connector. I was able to get two of the screws off myself, but was not physically strong enough to get the third screw or the electrical connector. I tried to get a friend to come over to help out but no one was available. My mechanic said they could do the replacement for about $75 but I wanted to do it myself since it seems so straightforward.
Ultimately, I drove to a local gas station that has a service center that was open on weekends and a guy there did it for me in five minutes. He didn't write up a bill for the service, but I tipped him $20.
I love businesses like that — those that do little things for free. I tend to be very loyal to such places.
That's great, I love going to the junkyard… well… that's not exactly correct, I don't really enjoy being there, they are kinda seedy. But, what I do enjoy is saving 80% off the cost of new parts in many cases.
My previous car was a 1996 Neon, and I went through 4 junkyard starters at $50 a pop. A reconditioned starter costs $350, and only has a 1-year guarantee, so I think buying the 4 starters over a period of 4 years was a much better use of my dime.
Plus, most of the repairs are actually quite easy to do if you have the time to devote.
Fantastic. I had a 94 Ford Escort and the radiator died on me, so I went to my local junk yard and got a new one for $74.00 exactly and replaced it the same day.
Had I gone to the shop to have it done, they told me it would have cost me at least $500.00 so the next time you're thinking about replacing a part on a popular car, think twice.
You just might save a lot of money!
Interesting to see this first thing Monday! I just spent four hours this morning visiting a junkyard for a driver's door window and replacing it. I also picked up a mirror – I was planing on epoxying the old one back onto the mounts, but have seen epoxy not last long enough on a car.
The junkyard experience was a little more interesting. My wife called around last week to see 1) if anyone had what we needed and 2) how much it was going to cost. She price the whole door and just the window, since I did not know if the dent was too deep to allow a window back in. A nearby place had what we wanted, so this morning I stopped in. They took me out back, showed me the window, which was already removed, and then showed me a few mirrors that should work, which were still attached to the various cars sporting them.
I chose one, we went back inside with the window, and while I payed he removed the mirror and brought it back.
It was quite a bit more straightforward than I expected. The screws holding the door panel were easy to locate and remove, the foam was fairly easy to pull away from the door, and the window went in easily.
The mirror was even quicker. It's a dark maroon on my black car, so it's not terribly noticeable.
A lot of time was spent drilling and re-tapping a hole for a bolt I broke off. It held the outside handle to the door, and since I needed to pound a dent out near the handle I removed it.
Now I feel very comfortable removing door trim – something I've always been reluctant to do.
Going to the junkyard was a first for me as well, and the experience was good. Interestingly the parts dealer has a car crusher, and they sell videos sporting the car crusher (Over 1 hour of crushing, they exclaim) with the requisite dozen bikini clad women. I didn't realize car crushing required such scantily clad skills, but it's just one more thing I suppose I've yet to learn about the auto world. For those whose curiosity is great, search for "aachen auto".

Another place to look for parts is eBay. I found a replacement mirror for my car and paid $5.00 for it, vs. the $168.00 replacement part. It cost more to ship it than it did to purchase it, but about $27.00 and 1/2 hour or so later, I was back in business.

Hi there, I do not pick up cars or electronics at the junkyard but recently i went there as a result of a lost bet and came across a very good looking shredder,
The things that people throw out, it seemed to be in pristine condition but was not working, so i picked it up and took it to a nearby electronics shop, and it seemed to be just a little repair, this happened quite a few months ago and even today as I hear the sound that the shredder makes, I cannot help but smile. Every now and then, I do make a point to visit the junkyard and who knows, I may well find the 'diamond in the rough' after all.

Parent involvement
My child has gone to this school for two years now and I've been nothing but impressed with her teachers. I love how involved I'm allowed to be and how welcome they make me feel. All the staff truly care for the students. This is a great school!
Military family here chose beautiful master-planned Freeport community over overpriced Niceville/Bluewater neighborhoods, worried about what elementary school would be like...after 2 years, I feel this is a very decent school. It has a solid positive behavior system in place and an excellent reading program. My kids have had some amazing teachers although I have learned that as with any public school, you need to be proactive in requesting a teacher that is right for your child's personality (you cannot request specific teachers but you can request the characteristics your child needs). The gym/music/art/library teachers all seem to be enthusiastic, devoted educators. The school has a "sunshine math" program to challenge advanced students and a gifted/talented program. I toured Bluewater Bay Elementary at one point due to open enrollment possibilities; the environment seemed more crowded & stressful to me and I was not convinced that my kids would be happier there. FES is not without its flaws but overall I feel that my kids are receiving a very decent education and enjoying an incomparable lifestyle.
Excellent school! I have nothing but praise for this school! Coming from a neighboring school (Butler Elementary) I was a bit nervous about my child's transition. I must say, I was so pleasantly surprised! The teachers and staff are so friendly, and welcoming. They keep me well informed on my children's progress, and if they need any help in any areas. They encourage reading and learning at all their events & activities. They know every child by name, and encourage parental participation and have an open door policy for parents any time. As a parent that lived in Santa Rosa Beach, I am so glad I tried the school, and did not allow people to discourage me from taking my children here! I have personally experienced both schools (Butler & Freeport) and find that we are having a much richer experience here in Freeport. So, for those parents that shuttle their children south of the bay, please give Freeport a try before making that decision. I am very happy I did!
Our children have been in schools all around America. This is the first school our children have attended that have gone above and beyond when it comes to communicating with the parents. As our youngest is in K, we have not worked with the advanced programs yet. Regardless, this is one of the best elementary schools our children have attended.
I would have to say that the school could work a bit harder at providing a challenge for those able to handle it. It appears that they are too worried about the 'FCAT' as most public school systems seem to be nowadays. The No Child Left Behind Act has created a school system that seems to only be concerned with 'making the grade' and not teaching a full robust curriculum. I can see a future that wonders why we let our brightest minds dim and die in the quagmire that is NCLBA.
its o.k. but not that good with childrens behavior and the way people deal with that but very safe and excellent teachers!
Our two boys are doing so well at Freeport Elementary that they are on the honor roll. They have excelled and exceeded our expectations, the teachers go above and beyond communicating with the parents. This is a school I very highly recommend for anyone's child. They make your child feel at home, know the kids by name, ensure your child's safety and provide an atmosphere for well being and learning. The building and facilities are in excellent condition, the media center is very well stocked for voracious readers and the Principal is a leader. Our kids are not only learning at Freeport Elementary, they are thriving. My only complaint is that it does not go all the way through College because the school is that good.
I went to Freeport Elementary when I was a student. Now I have one child attending this year and another child starting next year. This school is an excellent elementary school. The teachers and staff care about each and every student. I am a very involved parent, and I see first hand the quality of education the children receive. The school also strives to keep the kids excited about what they're learning. The staff and PTO provide fun activities like a Fall Festival, T-shirt contest for the kids, and lots of extra events througout the school year. I feel very lucky that my children will and have attended this school.
After losing our home to hurricane katrina we relocated to Freeport florida and enrolled our kids in Freeport Elementary. They made us feel so welcome and at ease knowing that our kids would be well taken care of. The kids love the school and have made lots of new friends. One of my sons has a severe allergy to ants and they staff has gone above and beyond to make his safety a priority. We love this school and have made Freeport our home.
moving down here from New Orleans due to Katrina my daughter attended this school and loved it. I thought the principal was awesome! He was very motivating and positive and strived for hard work and setting goals. We lived about 30 minutes away so I don't know about after school avtivities. My daughter really enjoyed the music and art program. For the little while we were there I was very impressed with teachers, principal and staff.
The teachers here are excellent and very kid friendly. I have to say that in my opinion the school is unprepared for children with medical needs. They do not have choices for children with food allergies, and offer little assistance for parents.
My two girls have attended FES for the past 3 years. The teachers are above average and really go the extra mile to help our girls be successful in their endeavors. The support staff is encouraging and helpful in every manner possible. The learning environment is exceptional in encouragement and excitement. The ESE program at FES is above average. The ESE teachers really know how to motivate my girls into making the right choices. The resources FES makes available are outstanding. The student teacher ratio is appropriate. FES makes learning fun and challenging. The student's are very forgiving and equally accepting of other students and various disabilities. Overall, we love FES and the students and the staff!
This is a great school, one of the better run schools in the County. They have great incentives for the kids to achieve their personal goals.
The faculty and staff at this school hold extremely high standards for our children. We are very proud to say our children attend Freeport Elementary. I know they are getting the high education they need to succeed in life!
Exceptional school with a friendly atmosphere. All staff promotes a positive learning environment where students feel safe. My children and I love Freeport Elementary School!
I have a son in this school and I have one that has already graduated that went to this elementary school. These teachers work very hard and if more parents would volunteer they would see this. We may be a small community school, but we give every student as much if not more than any big city school could.This school cares about its students!
We have two children who attend FES. We find that the staff keeps children first in every decision. It is a caring, nurturing environment where every child has the opportunity to reach their potential. Parents and/or Volunteers are very much a part of the school and are always welcome. In addition, to giving our children a first rate education, my husband and I appreciate the fact that the school stresses good citizenship, good behavior, and personal responsiblity. Our children love their school--everyone from their own teachers and the principal to the custodians!
Freeport Elementary School is an excellent school, as evidenced by the overwhelming percentage of positive responses received on the annual parent survey. As an involved parent, I see wonderful things happening at this school every day. For a true review of the school, call or write for a copy of the annual report and the school will happily provide one.

Eighteen years ago, Matthew Durrell's life changed in an instant. For three of his friends, life ended altogether.
Mother's Day weekend in 1995, Durrell took his friends on a joyride and slammed into a tree.
Alan Vantine, 20, Frank Ildefonso, 19, and Jill Cook, 19, were all killed in the crash.
"I always said it would never happen to me. It turns out, you know, one poor choice and it did happen to me," Durrell said.
In court, Durrell pled guilty to drinking, drugs and manslaughter. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. At the hearing, Jill Cook's father said their family was devastated.
"For 14 months and four days and 11 hours, my wife and I have been non-existent. Our lives have been without meaning or cause. Jill was our only child," Jerry Cook said.
Now, Durrell is a free man, and he's talking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving with help from an unlikely person -- the prosecutor who sent him to prison, Florida's Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"Matt got out of prison and decided that he wanted to change his life and he wanted to tell kids so nothing would happen to them like what happened to him. And more importantly, what happened to his three friends," Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says.
"It's not about what I went through. It's about what I put a lot of people through. I destroyed three families," Durrell said.
He now hopes others will learn from his mistakes, and ultimately save lives.
"I like to think that maybe we at least get through to a couple of the kids, kind of bringing some good to something that was really terrible," he says.
While Durrell was in prison, Bondi was telling his story to high schoolers and college students. Since his early release in 2008, they've been warning students together about the consequences of driving while drunk or on drugs.

Last week I attended the funeral of one of my best friends, John Adler. Most people knew John as a U.S. Congressman from 2008 – 10 and prior to that a New Jersey State Senator for 17 years. He appeared to be on a first name basis with everyone in New Jersey. He was everything we could wish for in a public servant. Intelligent, caring, honest, dedicated, and humble.
People from all walks of life attended the funeral. Coincidentally, my wife and I walked out of the memorial service next to Olympic hero Carl Lewis, who grew up in the same part of New Jersey, and came to admire John.
I interact with Senators and Members of Congress on a regular basis. I don't understand how they derive enjoyment from what they do. Yet John visibly loved representing his constituents and performing his duties. He was an articulate, polished, hilarious public speaking machine. John lived in his office to save money and traveled home to his wife and four sons as soon as he could every week. He was a loyal Democrat who could work across the aisle, as well as differ with his party on principle on occasion.
I am proud of John for all of the above, but none of that has anything to do with why his death has had such an impact on his circle of close friends. He was an even better husband, father and friend than he was a politician.
We and the Adlers are two of six families of law school friends who go on vacation together every other year bringing many, if not all, of our collective 18 children along with us. It is a recurring, happy Big Chill that dates back to the mid-1990′s. There is nothing we prize more highly.
As a long time friend, I've come to believe that John was genetically incapable of speaking five consecutive sentences without being funny. He was funny about everything. In a group of strong personalities (surprise!), John was a constant source of amusement. I looked forward to every interaction with him for 30 years (after the very first one while we were at rival colleges, which degenerated into a mild verbal altercation, two years before we found ourselves in the same law school class). One vivid memory from the first year of law school is of John walking around our classroom on top of the desks parodying one of our professors by giving a spontaneous and hilarious lecture on entrapment.
Add to the mix between the Adlers and the Goldsteins that both of our families are full of Philadelphia sports fanatics and the four parents are members of the (unofficial) 1000+ hour club of people who frequent the sidelines of youth soccer fields, and there was no shortage of conversation or levity.
We will miss John enormously. The Vacation Gang will never be quite the same again. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shelley and the boys during this very difficult time.

These were very tasty! Nice and creamy with good flavor as well. I took the extra step of slicing the Jalepeno rounds into halves to make them a bit more bite sized. I also cooked them in a normal pan instead of cast iron and it worked just fine.

Prepared Remarks of Kenneth L. Wainstein, Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Georgetown University Law Cen
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following are prepared remarks of Kenneth L. Wainstein, Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Georgetown University Law Center's National Security Center: September 10, 2007...
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 1978, and it created a regime of court approval for national security surveillances. However, once again, Congress reinforced the distinction between domestic and foreign surveillance. Congress designed a judicial review process that would apply primarily to surveillance activities within the United States where privacy interests are the most pronounced and not to overseas surveillance where privacy interests are minimal or non-existent. Congress gave effect to this careful balancing through its definition of the statutory term "electronic surveillance," the term that identifies those government activities that fall within the scope of the statute and, by implication, those that fall outside it. Congress established this dichotomy by defining "electronic surveillance" by reference to the manner of the communication under surveillance -- by distinguishing between "wire" communications -- which included most of the local and domestic traffic in 1978 -- and "radio" communications -- which included most of the transoceanic traffic in that era.
Based on the communications reality of that time, that dichotomy more or less accomplished the Congressional purpose, as it distinguished between domestic communications that generally fell within FISA and foreign international communications that generally did not.
But, that finely-balanced distinction has eroded with the dramatic changes in communications technology in the 29 years since FISA was enacted. In that time, we've seen the migration of the majority of international communications from satellite transmission (which qualified as "radio" communications under the statute) over to fiber-optic cable (which is "wire" under the statute); and, as a result, we've seen the tipping of that careful balance in the FISA statute. As the technology evolved further and further away from the paradigm established in the statute, we had to subject more and more of our overseas collections to review by the FISA Court.
So we had a situation where, on one hand, we have this technological change making it more difficult for us to surveil overseas threats. And on the other, we have the backdrop of an increasing national security threat from international terrorism -- from terrorists who had hit us hard on 9/11; who were bent on inflicting catastrophic damage to us and our allies; who were taking full advantage of modern modes of communication to organize and command their international network of terrorist operatives; and who have continued to show resiliency and a determination about their work -- as reflected quite clearly in the disruption last week of a large-scale terrorist plot in Germany , and also as reflected in the recently-issued National Intelligence Estimate.
And it is the combination of these two historical trends -- the changing technology that handicapped our efforts to surveil our adversaries and the increasing threat posed by those adversaries -- that produced the turning point we came to this year.
And, this is the turning point that Congress addressed last month when they passed the Protect America Act. The legislation was very straight-forward but very effective. In short, it returned FISA to its original focus on domestic surveillance. And it did that by making it clear that -- regardless of the type of communication being surveilled or the location where the surveillance takes place -- FISA does not apply when the surveillance is targeting persons outside the United States . It does apply - and we have to get a court order - when the communications are domestic or when we target someone in the U.S. But, when the target is truly foreign, when we're targeting someone in another country, we don't need to go through the FISA Court.
For my money, it's an exceptionally fine piece of legislation. I know, however, that there might be some of you out there who don't completely agree with me on the Protect America Act.
