Since I haven't posted in awhile and you want to have some fun let's play a game. Every time you read a variation of the word "wait" go ahead and take a shot, sip, chug, whatever your little hear desires. Anyways, lets get to it.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers said it best. If you have any connection with the Military you have probably heard the term "hurry up and wait", tossed around. To give you a quick definition it's the action of being rushed into something that then in turn takes forever to happen. Waiting has been my word of the past two months so far. It's either waiting for lunch, the weekend, sleep, a mission, a text, a call, my contract to be up, finding out if we are deploying, waiting to deploy, wait, wait, wait, wait, and wait some more. It's rather shocking that i would much rather be in some foreign country doing my job than to rather sit around at the back of troop waiting for our next task.
It's rather unfortunate that I have such a poor taste in my mouth so soon, it just makes me wonder what my next move should be. Right now I'm waiting to figure that out. I enjoy doing Scout things, I'm happy I went combat arms but it just makes we wonder what else is out there in the big business that is the Army. I originally joined to hopefully find a plan for myself. What did it really do? Confuse the shit out of me even more. I have a love-hate relationship with the Army. The camaraderie is awesome, where else are you going to be able to throw together 10 guys 18-25 relying on each other? You build some awesome relationships in a short amount of time.
With that being said, I'll just wait out my contract and either go back to school, change MOS's to something that will help me post military, or join another branch. With that I'm going to turn back on some Tom Petty and keep on waiting.
If you were truly playing have fun with them 11 drinks.
Well it has been quite some time since I last posted, and to be honest, I can't imagine what I even discussed and nor do I care to look. Many people assume you "change" joining the Army. The truth is, you more or less submit. Submit may seem like a harsh term but in reality it's the best I can use. Everything is easier when you submit yourself fully to what is ahead of you. The term "are you ready to submit yet", was tossed around often by one of my Drill Sergeants and it stuck. When I think of the term submit I think weak, feeble, or powerless; however, we just submitted ourselves to the way the Army works, and it's worked this way for the last 200+ years.
I have many things on my mind that I plan on discussing especially since I have more than enough time to kill now since I am processing into the 101st at Fort Campbell Kentucky. There is also a proud taste in my mouth knowing that this is the first post I've made since becoming a Scout. Jokes on me however, I have earned close to anything and I will have to prove myself time in and time out in order to really hold that name.
With a week until OSUT I definitely have mixed emotions regarding the whole situation. Yes, i will miss a whole bunch of people. Yes, on the flip side, i will not miss any people. Not to sound like an asshole but no matter what there will be people who try to bring you down. They don't mean to but just through their actions and habits their decisions can consequently bring you down.
Moreover, who doesn't enjoy talking about themselves even a little bit. I've been used to talking about myself somewhat through sports and what not. But, there is a point where it is extremely annoying. When I see people or when I go out I tell them in in school. It's getting frustrating answering the same questions over and over.
Lastly, this will more than likely be my last post for awhile. Also, for future soldiers or others that are interested in what OSUT is like I will make sure to jot down notes in order to answer those questions with my next post.
In the time being have a beer or two for me, play some my favorite songs at your next party, kiss your crush, and with that..
I will see you this summer!
Growing up in a small town you rarely have to say goodbye. In reality everyone sticks around because it is comfortable. Let's be honest, who really likes change? Who is willing to do something that gets themselves out of their comfort zone? I hate saying goodbye because i feel like i don't mean it due to he fact that i am used to seeing the person again in three weeks. Goodbyes suck especially when it involves the ones you love.
Also, feel like media has distorted our views on using goodbye. Most goodbyes i have seen involved rain and music neither of those happened just me sitting on my couch with a note and the memories of spending so much time together.
Goodbyes suck.
Good to hear man odds are we are on the same timeline. Hopefully, we can help out future cav scouts with our posts.
I am currently less than 80 days away from departing for OSUT (One Station Unit Training) as an E-3 private. OSUT is simply he combination of basic training and my AIT (Advanced Individual Training) all at one location. I cannot tell you exact dates and location of my training due to UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) laws.
My reasoning behind starting and hopefully keeping this blog is to keep friends, family, and future soldiers up to speed on what i am doing. Personally, I have done a ridiculous amount of research involving pre and post military life, what OSUT is like, job descriptions, and the views of other MOS's (Military Occupational Specialties) of the Cavalry. From the blogs, message boards, and other resources i have found posts from Cavalry Scouts few and far between. I figured that i will do the favor to any future solider interested in following this MOS a favor and tell you the most i can about my journey.
I have always thought about joining the military but I always had many excuses to not follow through with it. I am currently 3 years out of high school and i have nothing to show from it besides drunken pictures on Facebook and some stories about the dumb shit I have done with my friends in order to impress girls in order to hopefully get lucky. I have changed my major more times than I can count and still do not know what i want to do with my life. It's gone from business, to criminal justice, to physical ed, and to this day i still am not sure.
Not knowing what I wanted to do with my life is what originally brought me into the recruiters office. The common perception of the Army that most people have is that the fuck ups, criminals, and scum who do not know what to do after high school enlist to go blow some shit up and chase foreign girls for 3 years before coming back home to the same old town. The combination of not knowing what I plan on doing with my life, financial benefits, ability to travel, and the pride that comes with serving are the main reasons i decided to sign the contract.
This some background to my decision to join and what the purpose of this blog. I hope to keep this up the best I can to help answer some questions for my friends, family, and future soldiers.

Scott will be the first black senator in South Carolina history.
CHARLESTON, S C. — South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on Monday picked first-term Republican Representative Tim Scott to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fellow Republican Jim DeMint.
Speculation had centered on Scott, 47, as the likely replacement since DeMint announced on December 6 that he was stepping down from the Senate in order to head the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
When he takes office, Scott, 47, will be the only African-American member of the Senate and the first black senator from the South since the late 1800s.
Scott was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 with support from the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement that also helped Haley win the governor's office that year for the Republican party.
Scott, who represents the coastal district that includes Charleston, has been one of the most conservative members of Congress. He sponsored legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare," opposed raising the nation's debt limit and supported DeMint's fiscal "cut, cap and balance" pledge.

How to Furnish Your Home on the Cheap
Destination: Barn Sale
Barn sales are the new rage. Located a short drive from your nearest metro area are farm hands turned furniture gurus, presiding over showrooms of restored furniture. Barn sales are great places to find unique pieces of wooden furniture at reasonable prices. Still too rich for your blood? Most barn sales have an area (read: barn) filled with furniture not yet restored. Pick up a dining room table, dresser or hutch at deep discounts and do the restoration yourself.
Check Out Your Local Thrift Stores
Thrift stores are another excellent source of inexpensive home furnishings. It may take a little digging (and persistence) but you're sure to find a few gems. Most thrift stores carry smaller items such as side tables, lamps and chairs, and some will have a selection of larger pieces. Be sure to ask what days they put out new merchandise so you can keep checking back.
For some items the best way to go might be to do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.). Whether it's the 2x4 and cinderblock bookshelves that have donned countless coed dwellings over the years or a rescued piece of furniture, consider taking on some D.I.Y. projects. You'll be amazed at what a few nails, a coat of paint and some new knobs can do for a broken-down dresser or cabinet.
Take the Plunge: Discount Furniture Stores
Over the past decade, discount furniture stores like IKEA have become the staple for budget shoppers. These stores carry everything from textiles and a selection of home décor to beds, sofas and dining room sets. Armed with an Allen wrench and a healthy dose of patience, these warehouse stores can serve as your one-stop shop.
Shop Sales
For some items, particularly mattresses and box springs, it pays to shop the sales. Shopping for a bed at the right time of year can save you a pretty penny. Holiday sales, particularly those around Memorial Day, are the best time of year to invest in a new bed.
Go Hunting at Outlets
Some of the higher end furniture retailers have outlet stores. Here you can find styles similar to those displayed in their main showrooms, but with lower price tags. Also check out internet outlets like Overstock.com.
Yard Sales, Garage Sales and Flea Markets, Oh My!
Yard sales and garage sales are the old standard of budget furniture shopping. As the weather heats up, so do these sales. Early morning offers the largest selection. Late in the day offers the lowest prices (but fewer options). Also, consider hitting up area flea markets, which also come alive in spring and summer.
Surf the Web
Perhaps the largest selection of budget and free furniture can be found on Internet sites such as Craigslist, Freecycle, Etsy and eBay. While the quality can be highly variable, these sites offer some of the best deals. Be sure to check out your neighborhood listservs as well. You're new couch might be (literally) just around the corner.
Go In for the Slightly Worn
Champagne taste with a Coors Light budget? Never fear. Some higher end retailers and department stores will sell damaged furniture or floor models at deep discounts. Most of the time, after a good cleaning, these bargains look as good as new.
Host a Furniture Swap
Ask around. Your family and friends may have pieces of furniture they'd be happy to have you take off their hands. Alternatively, consider hosting a furniture swap. Invite friends and family for a get together where each guest brings at least one piece of furniture. At the end of the party, everyone leaves with a new item to add to their home décor.

Because of determination to remain independent agent of the yacht charter globe, Charter professionals do not offer a yacht charter ordering service in the Whitsunday Island. However, the experts help in connecting people who want to make booking to good quality as well as affordable ways ordering yacht charter.
There are recommendations, which can be employed in booking bareboat yacht charters and crude. Yacht charters may be ordered through yacht charter agents. The Whitsunday Sailing brokers are important since they have essential information about yacht as well as crews, are familiar with destinations regulations and rules. Furthermore, the brokers are well experienced on yacht charter deals. Through an agent on the yacht's side, it is less probable they will have treated poorly as the charter avoid losing the agent`s repeat business. If a person is searching for a yacht agent for booking a crewed charter or bareboat it is essential to begin with one of the most charter agent associations. Because of yacht charter, whitsunday sailing tours are enjoyable and the holidays also are enjoyable.
At the same time, if the visitors feel that they can manage to take care throughout the trip, they are free to do the same and nobody will question them, they can create their own itinerary, at the sometime they can enjoy the whole destinations other than doing it on just a single resort or beach, the most important thing, they should leave out crowds. The staff of this organization adheres to be good ethical as well as business principles, commonly attend yacht shows, inspect the crews they recommend, and appropriately employ escrow contracts and accounts. Furthermore, yachts can be ordered directly by the bareboat corporations or through an agent.

Made this for our Father's Day BBQ to great reviews. This was a bit of work but makes a lot. I usually don't like potato salads because I think they are bland, but this one has great flavor.
Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Salad
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Leigh Ann Ross
Try this Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Salad for something different; the dressing's bacon drippings barely temper the sweet-tart notes from sugar, cider vinegar, and white vinegar. We halved the amount of bacon and bacon grease to cut calories and saturated fat, so a few slices of flavorful applewood-smoked bacon stand in to extend flavor. Serve warm or slightly cooled.

Duke rolls over Maryland to clinch ACC regular-season title
College Park, MD (Sports Network) - Alexis Jones nearly recorded a triple- double as No. 5 Duke defeated Maryland, 75-59, on Sunday at Comcast Center.
Jones had 15 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in the win for the Blue Devils (26-1, 16-0), who clinched the ACC regular-season title. Elizabeth Williams had a game-high 16 points and seven boards, while Haley Peters and Tricia Liston scored 15 points apiece.
Tianna Hawkins had 16 points and nine boards for the Terrapins (22-5, 13-3), who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Alyssa Thomas registered 14 points, six rebounds and six assists.
Duke was down 11-10 with 15:26 left in the first half, but a jumper by Richa Jackson sparked a 9-0 run over the next 6 1/2 minutes and gave the Blue Devils a 19-11 lead.
By halftime, Duke extended its lead to 37-25.
Hawkins helped Maryland early on in the second half, scoring eight of its first 10 points, and closed the deficit to 43-35 with 16:12 remaining in regulation.
However, Jones and Peters delivered for Duke over the next six minutes, combining for all 11 points in a 11-2 run, and gave the Blue Devils a 54-37 advantage with 11 minutes to go.

Each issue carries an
from the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Reprinting prohibited
by Catherine Bertrand, S.S.N.D.
Ready or not, here we come! Right now, this seems
to be the spokenor unspokencry of young people who
are members of what is being called the "millennial generation,"
those who were born in or after 1982. That includes you, the
teen readers of Youth Update.
You form a large part of the U.S. population.
You are getting more education than people your age in earlier
generations. You represent a wider cross section of the human
family than any generation before you in this country.
I work with young men and women (and some who
aren't so young) who want to explore the possibility of being
a priest, brother or sister. My experiences with people your
age convince me that you are good news for the Church and for
our world as well. Believe me, not every generation that comes
along inspires such confidence!
I see a real openness in you as you make choices
today and plan for your future. For some of your generation,
that includes seriously looking at and even choosing to be a
sister, brother or priest. It would seem that you are well suited
for such a life choice.
Who, Me?
You may be uncomfortable with being the subjects
of sociologists (experts in the study of the characteristics
and behavior of groups). When you hear how these experts see
you, you often say, "it doesn't sound like me, but it sure sounds
like my friends." (I suspect it gives you some breathing room
to pin it on the young person next door.)
See if any of these things are true of your high
school friends and others you know who are already in college:
You seem to have a real sense of teamwork. You value achievement.
You have a strong sense of what's right and wrong and your conduct
is based on that understanding.
I like this description of you myself: "There's
a revolution under way among today's kidsa good news revolution.
This generation is going to rebel by behaving not worse, but
better. Their life mission will not be to tear down old institutions
that don't work, but to build up new ones that do" (Millennials
Rising: the Next Great Generation, by Neil Howe and William
What to Make of Your Moment?
Since good news isn't always reported in the big
headlines, I want to share some of it here. Fewer members of
your generation are likely to commit suicide, to kill someone
else by murder or abortion or to get pregnant. You tell those
who question you that you are happy, confident and positive,
that you believe in your own power as a group and your ability
to make a difference.
You don't seem to be put off or discouraged by
boundaries, rules or hard work. You may even believe that your
parents and other adults have wisdom that's worth hearing. The
events of September 11, 2001, touched the minds and hearts of
people all over the world, but had the most tremendous impact
on those of us living in this country. One Newsweek poll
indicated that, in light of September 11, young people understand
in a new way that the future is unpredictable and that long-held
beliefs and assumptions will be severely tested in the next
few years.
Inspired by the poll results, Newsweek
raised the question, "What will you make of your moment?" What
difference has this good newsand this bad newsmade
in your life? How does it impact how you see the futureand
your future?
Three Deep Desires
When I listen to young people talk about their
deepest desires, they usually mention three key things: 1) They
want to grow spiritually; 2) They long to make a difference
in the world, and 3) They desire a sense of belonging.
These deepest desires move a person to action,
to make choices. In a sense, that is what vocation is really
about, following that God-given pull or leaning that seems to
come from deep within. It isn't always clear what might be asked
of you but, if you keep listening, seeking, trusting that God
is at work in it all, the direction will become clearer.
God doesn't play games with us. Even though a
few lightning strikes might get your attention, the fact of
the matter is that God seems to work most often through the
ordinary. I encourage you to trust that God's desire for you
is being revealed in the people and events of your life.
I once saw a billboard that read, "If you are
looking for a sign from God, this is it!" Don't miss
the simple ways God works because you expect something more
You're Invited
Your future is beginning now. I invite you to
consider the possibility of becoming a brother, sister or priest.
It is different from a job, a ministry or a career. It is a
whole way of life, a way of being in relationship with yourself,
others and God.
Many of the qualities the experts say characterize
your generation are qualities that will serve you well in priesthood
or religious life.
To be a priest, brother or sister is not for everyone,
but it is indeed a great choice for some. I can guarantee that
you will never be bored.
I remember a sister saying to me when I was considering
this way of life, "I can't think of a more noble and exciting
thing to do with your life, but it will cost you everything."
In other words, I was being challenged to be the best that I
could be for someone and something greater than myself.
The number-one reason why anyone considers priesthood
or religious life is because someone issued an invitation. So,
consider yourself invited! If, in fact, you see yourself as
part of that millennial-generation profile made up of team players
hopeful about the future, serious about a relationship with
Jesus Christ and convinced that you can make a difference in
the lives of others, this could indeed be for you.
What Does It Take?
Good candidates for ordained ministry or religious
life are people who are good at life, people with options. It
certainly is not for someone who has tried everything and, in
discovering that nothing else works, decides to look at being
a sister, brother or priest.
It is for someone who loves God and the Church,
someone who has a passionate desire to serve others, even when
it is costly. It is for someone who relates well to others,
who doesn't always need to be the star of the show. It is about
having a sense of integrity, yet being flexible and adaptable.
It means being a leader, but also a follower. You need to be
able to study and learn.
It is for someone who experiences celibacy (a
free choice not to marry) as a positive and healthy decision.
It is for people who are basically happy, well-balanced people
and who want to share life with others. And you definitely need
a sense of humor.
It is no secret that there are fewer sisters,
brothers and priests than there were years ago. But just because
there are fewer doesn't mean that we can be careless about who
becomes a sister, priest or brother. I am convinced, however,
that there are young people for whom this calling is a good
fit but who, for a variety of reasons, put off doing anything
about it.
I'd like to suggest a few reasons why that happens
and a few thoughts on what one can do. These are certainly not
in order of importance.
Lack of information: You can't
choose what you don't know. So you may need help in getting information
to read, or suggestions about how to connect with a sister, brother
or priest. Trust me, what you see on TV about sisters, brothers
and priests is usually anything but accurate.
Talk to your pastor, parents, teacher, youth minister
or the vocation director for your area about ways to get information.
Plenty of online resources are available to you. Many religious
communities and dioceses (the division of the Church over which
your bishop has responsibility; it could be compared to a county
within a state) also offer opportunities for young people to connect
with priests and religious for an evening or weekend.
Fear: If you don't know anyone
else who might be considering priesthood or religious life, it can
be pretty scary. But I must say, you would be amazed if you knew
who else might be thinking about it and is just as nervous as you
are in saying it out loud.
Try not to let your fear keep you from taking action.
Talk to an adult that you trust who may be able to connect you with
others who are considering this.
Sense of Self: Many young people
don't see themselves as being good enough to be priests or religious.
Some think because they've been sexually active or have used drugs
or alcohol, that they are too sinful to consider this way of life.
Yes, our actions do carry consequences with them,
but God is loving and forgiving. Besides, the life of a priest or
religious is not retroactive. It begins when you begin.
It isn't that your life doesn't count up to this point.
It's important to know what you want to do, what you want to be
from here on out.
Commitment: What if this doesn't
work? What if it is a mistake? I hear these concerns often from
people who want to explore religious life and priesthood. All I
can ask is this: What other way of life gives you so much time to
discover if this is a good fit? You'll have years to prepare before
ordination or final vows.
When we say, "Come and see," we mean just that, not
"Come and sign." Forever only happens one day at a time.
There aren't many sources of encouragement around
us that assure us that commitment is possible. Instead we are bombarded
by the message that we can have it all. The truth is that, in choosing
one thing, we eliminate other possibilities. You can't go wrong,
however, in at least checking out your options.
Loneliness: No healthy person
chooses a way of life that was created to make one lonely. To make
a choice not to marry and have a life partner means loving in a
different way, but it is indeed a way to love, a way to relate,
a way to bring life to others.
Every way of life has periods of loneliness. Ask your
parents. No one on this side of heaven is ever completely satisfied.
And every way of life has built-in challenges and sacrifices. Do
you trust that God can be enough for you, even when it doesn't feel
like it?
Opinions of Others: To make a
decision that is not understood or supported is very difficult.
Your friends and sometimes even your family may not be the most
helpful or supportive. You don't want to disappoint them or have
them think there is something wrong with you. At the same time,
you may underestimate how supportive they could be if you tell them
the whole story. In the end, it is your life and your decision.
Know Your Options
There is no time like the present and this pres ent
is unique. Like never before, we need people of courage, hope and
generosity. Young people who are exploring religious life are doing
so for a variety of reasons.
Many of them are already involved in some type of
service to others. Others express a desire to be a part of something
greater than themselves and to do something as a team player. Some
find a response to that desire in community life.
What continues to be very clear in it all is that
God still invites young women and men to priesthood and religious
life. At the heart of your response must be the desire to be a follower
of Jesus Christ in a radical way. Without that nothing else makes
Pope John Paul II said it best when he addressed the
young people in Kazakhstan on September 23, 2001. He said, "Realize
that each one of you is of unique worth, and be ready to accept
one another with your respective convictions as you search together
for the fullness of truth. Open yourselves to the One who created
you out of love and wants to make you worthy, free and good people.
Learn to listen in silence to the voice of God, who speaks in the
depths of every heart; build your lives on sure and solid foundations;
do not be afraid of commitment and sacrifice, which today require
a great investment of energies, but which are the guarantee of success
tomorrow. Discover the truth about yourselves, and new horizons
will not cease to open up before you."
God's design is that we might be happy. We aren't
always the best judges of just what that might look like. It probably
takes a lifetime to discover what that means.
I've met people who seem to think that if there is
something I really don't want to do, it must be God's will for me.
I don't think God works that way. I believe when it comes to choosing
between two or more good things, God wants what we want. Can we
trust that such an inclination comes from a loving God?
It wouldn't work out well for all of you to
be brothers, priests or sisters. But God may be asking you to consider
all your options for the futureand this is a live one. And
don't be so sure that it is only your friends that God would invite
to be sisters, brothers and priests.
Now is your moment. What will you make of it?

The inspection was carried out by three Additional Inspectors.
Description of the school
Chickerell Primary is a larger-than-average two-form entry school. There are an average number of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. The numbers of minority ethnic pupils and of those with English as an additional language are low.
|Grade 1
|Grade 2
|Grade 3
|Grade 4
Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 3
This is a satisfactory and improving school. Pupils begin with skills and knowledge that are broadly average for their age. They make a good start in the Foundation Stage, which ensures that they leave with above-average attainment. This good progress continues in Years 1 and 2, maintaining above-average standards by the time they enter Year 3. In Years 3 to 6, however, progress slows down so that by the end of Year 6 they leave having attained broadly average standards.
Leaders and managers at the school have correctly identified that not enough progress is being made, particularly in Years 3 and 4, and have put in measures to improve the provision. This has resulted in the current pupils making good progress, an example of the school's satisfactory capacity to improve. Nevertheless, teaching and learning throughout the school remain inconsistent and more needs to be done to support teachers in improving their practice. Although the teaching is satisfactory overall, there is a strong percentage of good teaching that needs to be shared more widely so that all can benefit from the expertise of these good teachers. In particular, teaching is good in the Foundation Stage, where children make good progress in all areas of learning. Both pupils with learning difficulties and more able pupils generally make satisfactory progress, although some lessons do not challenge the more able enough. The small number of minority ethnic pupils make good progress.
The senior management team has correctly identified that pupils do not make enough progress in mathematics and writing. They have focused on raising standards in writing and this is beginning to have a good impact on the progress pupils make, although the improvement in mathematics is, as yet, limited. Leadership and management are currently satisfactory. Subject leaders, although having clear roles and responsibilities, do not have enough opportunities to monitor and assess the impact of developments in their subjects. Girls are making better progress in English and a number of initiatives are supporting the raising of standards for boys. Writing is being well supported through the good curriculum that provides enriching and exciting experiences for pupils both in and out of school hours, an improvement since the last inspection. It also supports the very good personal development of pupils, enhancing their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding. However, it does not sufficiently support the development of pupils' mathematical skills to ensure better progress.
The pastoral care and support for pupils is very good. The committed and enthusiastic staff, led by a caring and thoughtful headteacher and deputy headteacher, ensure that the well-being of pupils is a high priority. This results in pupils feeling safe and happy in school and parents feeling confident that their children are looked after well. All pupils are fully included in school life and when they feel sad or cross there are opportunities to talk through their feelings with a pastoral support worker in the school. This effective care results in the personal development of pupils being good. They enjoy school and are keen to learn. They know how to keep safe and healthy and the vast majority behave well. Effective procedures are in place to support the few who find this difficult. Attendance is currently satisfactory, although the school is working hard to improve this. Pupils are making a good contribution to the community and, as a result of the standards reached in English and mathematics, their preparation for economic well-being is satisfactory.
Effectiveness of the Foundation Stage
Grade: 2
Pupils make good progress in the Foundation Stage as a result of good management of this area. This ensures that all children are experiencing every area of learning whilst enabling them to make independent choices as part of their 'plan, do and review' sessions. The partnership with parents is good, with many acknowledging the effective support they receive in ensuring their children settle well into school. Links with the nursery are improving, including sharing parts of the good curriculum such as the social and emotional aspects of learning. The outdoor environment is used well to enhance the provision for children, who enjoy learning. However, there are limited opportunities for them to think about their learning experiences and express what they have learnt to others.
What the school should do to improve further
- ?
- Raise standards in English and mathematics by improving the quality of teaching and learning, particularly in mathematics and writing, so that all pupils make good or better progress. ?
- Ensure that subject leaders have sufficient opportunities to identify, monitor and assess the impact of developments in their areas.
A small proportion of the schools whose overall effectiveness is judged satisfactory but which have areas of underperformance will receive a monitoring visit by an Ofsted inspector before their next section 5 inspection
Achievement and standards
Grade: 3
Pupils arrive at the school with average skills and knowledge for their age and make good progress in both the Foundation Stage and in Years 1 and 2, resulting in standards that are above average. In Years 3 to 6, however, progress is less secure so that pupils leave with standards that are broadly average, representing satisfactory progress overall. Nevertheless, initiatives have supported learning for the current pupils in Years 3 and 4, demonstrating an improving picture of progress. The progress of pupils with learning difficulties and more-able pupils is satisfactory, and the progress of ethnic minority pupils is good. Girls currently achieve better in English, although new initiatives are supporting the progress of boys. It is too early to assess the impact of these. Pupils currently make more progress in English than mathematics as a result of a clearer focus on target setting and the review of work. However, pupils' work in art and in design and technology shows that they make good progress in these subjects and attain standards above those expected.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils enjoy school and have a good attitude towards their learning, one pupil commenting that 'teachers make us learn in fun ways and not just boring ways'. Attendance is currently satisfactory. There are high levels of unauthorised absence, although the school has procedures to try and improve this, success is limited due to parents who take term time holidays. Pupils have a good understanding of how to keep healthy such as by eating healthy foods and taking regular exercise. They generally feel safe and know who to talk to when they are unhappy. Pupils generally behave very well, although a small number find this difficult. There are procedures in place to help these pupils to improve, with good signs of success. The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils is good, supported well by an emphasis on the social and emotional aspects of learning that is recognised by the local authority for its strength. Pupils understand each other well, knowing that 'even though people are different, we are all the same'. They make a good contribution to the community both in school, such as by acting as play leaders, and also outside, such as through the Christmas party for the elderly and by raising money for a number of charities. Their preparation for economic well-being is satisfactory because of their levels of attainment in English and mathematics.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 3
Teaching and learning are inconsistent across the school. Nevertheless, there are a number of strengths that permeate all lessons. The relationships between staff and pupils are good. Pupils respect their teachers, resulting in good behaviour in lessons. The pupils work well together, supporting each other's learning. The high numbers of teaching assistants are used effectively to support both individual pupils with particular needs as well as working in groups. Lessons are planned well with interesting activities for the pupils to enjoy. The teaching is clear and work is differentiated well, although in some lessons the more able are not challenged sufficiently. In English, pupils know their targets but not in mathematics. Although the assessment of pupils is secure, teaching does not consistently make good use of this information to support pupils' learning, resulting in limited progress being made in some classes.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The good curriculum ensures that all pupils receive a broad range of activities that support their learning well. It is enriched both by a number of visits out of school and visitors who share their expertise. Planned activities are engaging and fun and these are thoroughly enjoyed by pupils. Residential visits have a big impact on pupils' personal development, with one saying that 'they help us to grow up'. Pupils take the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. In particular, there is a good emphasis on the teaching of art and design and technology, recognised by an Artsmark award and physical education for which the school has received an activemark. The school environment both inside and out provides an inspiring focus for learning that is used to its full potential with lively, interesting displays and purpose-built outdoor classrooms. There are a number of links between subjects, including some that support pupils' progress in writing, although there are not enough opportunities for them to practise their mathematical skills.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
The pastoral care of pupils is a strength of the school. Pupils are kept safe through a robust system of safeguarding and risk assessments. There are effective procedures to support pupils' ongoing medical needs and first aid. The school has gained healthy school status for its provision in promoting healthy lifestyles. Opportunities for pupils to access personal support from a pastoral worker enhance the care of pupils. Those with learning difficulties benefit from a well-managed system that ensures that their specific needs are met. These plans are regularly reviewed. Outside agencies, such as the educational psychologist and the speech and language therapist, are well used to support the progress of individual pupils. However, all pupils are not consistently given enough help to show them the next steps in learning, particularly in mathematics.
Leadership and management
Grade: 3
Leaders and managers have an accurate understanding of the school's strengths and areas that need to be developed. In particular, they correctly identified, through the use of a good tracking system, the lack of progress in writing and that boys were achieving less well than girls in English. Governance is satisfactory overall with governors giving practical support alongside the school in promoting initiatives that encourage boys to read for pleasure and develop an interest in writing. This includes a boys' club for reading that involves boys of all ages, where they gain points for completing challenges. Writing is being effectively supported through the curriculum. This is an example of the school's satisfactory capacity to improve. However, more effective use of resources needs to be made so that there is a link to clear priorities that result in raised achievement. For example, subject leaders, although having clear roles and responsibilities, do not have enough opportunities to monitor and assess the impact of developments in their subjects. The quality of teaching needs to improve and planned support and challenge given to secure improvements in the progress of pupils. Challenging targets are set, although those for mathematics and the more able in English were not achieved in 2007.
However, there are elements of good leadership. Leaders and managers promote the very good pastoral care of pupils, creating a positive ethos of enjoyment and safety where all are welcomed. Effective leadership of the Foundation Stage has made a good impact on the provision for the youngest children the provision of support for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is managed well and all staff display high levels of commitment to the pupils in their care.

Good result. I generally followed the recipe: used a bunch of leeks, 3-4 cloves of garlic,4 small potatoes; a pkg of frozen spinach. Added salt, lemon pepper and a few drops of white truffle oil at end. Great with Trader Joes Parmesan Crisps.
Spinach, Leek, and Potato Soup

CourtneyAshley Posted: 10/25/09
This soup is a winner! While I love the classic vichyssoise, the spinach adds a great flavor. And healthy too!
BirdieBeth Posted: 11/03/09
Delicious. The flavors work great together, and lend a mild, savory taste. I also included 3 cloves of garlic, used 2 red potatoes instead of Yukon, and added a little heavy cream at the end. Definitely a winner in our house! I love how simple these recipes are, and don't require complicated ingredients. Yum!
jodipdx Posted: 04/11/14
I'm a fan of spinach, but I thought the flavor of this was unbalanced and vegetal--almost unpleasantly so. The leek and potato were completely masked. I think if I ever make this again, I'll cut the spinach amount by at least 1/3 and go from there.
Beingnan Posted: 01/23/14
This is a lovely and quick soup...the crutons was the finishing touch...I toasted in the oven after applying olive oil. When I took them out of the oven and they were still hot I rubbed fresh garlic on it...the flavors were great and so healthy!

Chapter 263 Reviews
so this is probably really boring... sorry, i promise that the next chapter will be better!
"Um... no, that would be nice." Emily said nervously. "I'll see you guys some time tomorrow I'm sure. Thanks for a great night!" She said, hugging each of them once they arrived at their house. After they went inside, Emily and Ryan continued their walk to Emily's apartment. "So... how have you been feeling since you've been out of the hospital?" She questioned, unsure of what to say.
"A lot better actually. I am going back tomorrow to get my cast off and then we will finally be able to start working on the new record. I have been writing a lot for it..." Ryan said. They walked in silence for a few minutes before Ryan spoke again. "Look Emily, I have been thinking about what you said the earlier today. I have been such an ass to you. I know that it wasn't your fault... and it was a year ago. We have both moved on. I just miss having you around as a friend. Do you think you might be able to forgive me?" He asked, just as they arrived at Emily's building.
"You have been a huge ass... but I miss having you around too. So yeah, I forgive you." Emily said, hugging him tightly. "Um... do you want to come in and help me unpack some boxes?" She asked, pulling away from him.
"That would be awesome." Ryan said, smiling. Emily smiled back at him as she unlocked the door. "Wow, this is a really nice place!" Ryan said, as he entered the foyer of her loft-style apartment. Emily disappeared into the bedroom to change into her pajamas. When she re-emerged, she was surprised to see that Ryan was still standing in the foyer.
"Do you want to come in?" Emily asked. She couldn't help but laugh as Ryan blushed and took off his shoes and jacket. Emily gave him quick tour of the apartment.
"This is a really nice place Emily!" He said, sitting on the couch, one of the only fully assembled pieces of furniture in the apartment.
"Well, I think it will be better once I get everything unpacked and all the furniture set up." Emily said, flopping down beside him. "So... how are things with you and Becca?"
"Really good actually." Ryan said simply, clearly not wanting to talk about it. "Um, so you and Luke seemed to hit it off really well tonight..." He said while Emily ripped open one of the boxes that surrounded her.
"Yeah, he's really awesome. We just clicked. It felt nice." Emily said, feeling pretty awkward with the situation.
"That's good, you really deserve this Emily. I am so happy for you." Ryan smiled as he moved to the floor and sat next to her. They quickly unpacked the box, which was full of pictures. "Oh my god Emily, do you remember this night?" Ryan asked, holding up a picture. Emily laughed as she studied a picture if her and Ryan taken at a Halloween party during their senior year of high school. That was the year that they dressed up as Sandy and Danny from Grease.
"Man that was one of the best nights ever!" Emily exclaimed, rooting through the box. Ryan and Emily spent the rest of the night reminiscing and looking at countless old pictures. A few hours later, Emily yawned loudly, just as they reached the bottom of the box. "We don't do that as much as we should! But I am completely exhausted and I have only unpacked one box!"
"Yeah, I should get going. Thanks for letting me in. I had a lot of fun!" Ryan said, standing up. Emily stood up too and gave him a quick hug. "I guess I will see you around."
"Sounds like a plan!"
Luke and Emily were cuddled up on the couch, watching a movie. They had officially been dating for two weeks, and Emily was so happy. She was still hanging out with the guys in the band but not as much as because they were really busy with writing new songs and getting ready to record their new record.
"Babe, what are you doing tomorrow?" Luke asked, as the credits started rolling.
"I don't know... but you're going out of town, aren't you?" Emily asked, stretching. Luke was doing an internship with a record label based in Las Vegas, which meant that he was traveling a lot to check out new bands with some of the label's top executives.
"I am but only for the weekend." He said, dropping a kiss on her forehead, making her smile. "I was talking to Brendon yesterday. They miss having you around. Maybe you should go see them."
"Yeah, that's a good idea. They've been so busy with the record and everything. I think I will go see them tomorrow."

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC News) - Hope College was in mourning on Friday after learning of the death of one of its former soccer players.
Justin Bailey came to Holland from Portage in the fall of 2006 and became a four-year varsity letter winner before his graduation 13 months ago. The now 23-year-old man moved to Grand Rapids and was a fellow AT&T contractor from the Calder City, 25-year-old Mark Angelocci, when their car was rearended on a suburban Kalamazoo street on Thursday afternoon.
According to authorities, the vehicle was traveling on 6th Street near Heritage Drive in Texas Township when it was struck by a pickup truck going over 100 miles an hour. The force of the collision drove the car 10 feet into the air and into a tree. Bailey was killed instantly; Angelocci was taken to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo with critical injuries.
The 30-year-old truck driver sped off and was eventually found at his home nearby, although police had to use Tasers to subdue him. Bret Frame was arraigned on Friday on various charges that could land him in prison for life if convicted; he remains jailed on 250 thousand dollars bond.
Visitation for Bailey is set for Wednesday from 1 to 8 PM at the Langeland Westside Chapel on South 9th Street in Oshtemo, with a 1 PM Thursday funeral service at Centerpoint Church on North 19th Street in Kalamazoo.

Doug Armstrong isn't going to be active tomorrow because he seems to be a night owl with trades. After the 2:00 a.m. deal with Colorado, Army just swung another late night deal with the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres acquire Brad 'High and Wide' Boyes. In exchange, the Blues get the Sabres 2nd round pick in 2011.
Thoughts on this trade? I don't like it. If Doug Armstrong doesn't acquire another top nine forward tomorrow by the deadline, you can effectively consider the Blues to be out of the playoff race.
Brad Boyes, the former 40 goal scorer has lost his scoring touch, that is no secret, but lets not forget that prior to tonight's trade, he was third on the Blues in points and had become a pretty decent playmaker. He started crashing the net and getting good scoring chances.
He got a lot of flack here in St. Louis because he went from goal scorer to playmaker, but if fans could recall, in Boston, he was more a playmaker than a goal scorer.
The Kariya-Tkachuk-Boyes line was the primary reason Boyes hit 43 goals three seasons ago. When Kariya went out with hip injuries, concussions and separated the pair in the final years of Kariya's deal, Boyes' play suffered considerably.
When Boyes was the shooter, he was on, when he had Kariya and Andy McDonald, two playmakers feeding him pucks, his life was a lot easier than it is now.
With 12 goals and 29 assists on the season, Boyes is no means by far a bad player. He'll get his chance in Buffalo, and in all honesty, I hope he opens up and finds that scoring touch again.
For those of you who follow me on twitter, @randallritchey, you already know about the trade. If you don't follow me on twitter, please follow and I'll do my best to feed you information and opinions as often as possible.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
For a while, when I was sans internet at home, I'd bring my laptop to my university's library. That worked out much better once I realized that while wireless connections were throttled, hardwired ones weren't. (There was one especially hilarious chunk of lag during an SM run, fortunately with guildies, where a particularly bad spike hit just as I was Charging a pack of mobs, meaning that I established no aggro, the mobs ate the party's face off, and then my client caught up just in time for me to watch myself die.) Unfortunately, my laptop bit it a while later, and I was WoW-less until I moved into my current apartment.

HIV DNA PCR Testing
HIV is a virus that has caused quite a stir around the world in the last few decades. This virus affects the human body in harsh ways, reducing a person's immune system capabilities severely and preventing the body from defending against other illnesses. Over time, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which leads to very extreme damage to the body's immune system. HIV exposure can occur several different ways, such as sharing a needle with an infected person, sexual transmission, or even being transmitted to a child while the mother is pregnant. Testing for HIV after any possible exposure is extremely crucial.
Testing for HIV has a recommended waiting period because the body may not have had enough time for the antibodies to develop enough to be recognized by the test. If testing is done within 3 months, the results may not be accurate, so it is important that you test after the correct time frame for the selected testing method.
**There are multiple HIV testing methods available, each using a unique way to test blood for the virus. Adequate consideration for each method is critical because one must consider the testing method as well as the wait period and detection time. Common testing methods include antibody testing, RNA, and PCR tests. Each of these has specific requirements to determine the results. Of the given test options, DNA PCR testing is considered the most reliable and best option for several reasons, with one of the key reasons being early detection.

It's a party hostel, and if you stay in a dorm, you may hear loud music sometimes until 3am, and sometimes until the next morning. So if you come to Bogota for sightseeing during the day, and want to sleep at night, don't choose a dorm there (but private rooms should be OK, I suppose). Though for me it was not a problem, because I had to finish an urgent work online, and a very good selection of music was very helpful.

Hardon Franciscans LCWR Lent Little Sisters of the Poor Mercedarians new evangelization news Norbertines Passionists Poor Clares Pope's Intentions Pope Benedict XVI Pope Francis Pope John Paul II prayer priesthood pro-life profession of vows saints School Sisters of Christ the King seminary St. Francis de Sales statistics USCCB Vatican video Visitation vocation vocation director Vocations World Youth Day
Pope Francis Prayer Intentions – January
The Holy Father's prayer intentions for the month of January and as well as reflections by Fr. James Kubicki, S.J., National Director of the Apostleship of Prayer.
1. Universal Intention
That all may promote authentic economic development that respects the dignity of all peoples.
Pope Francis sees that the "worship of the golden calf of old (see Exodus 32: 15-34) has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money" which puts making money ahead of people. "Concealed behind this attitude is a rejection of ethics, a rejection of God. Money has to serve, not to rule!"
The universal intention this month challenges us to examine ourselves and our choices, for as the Holy Father declared: "The Pope appeals for disinterested solidarity and for a return to person-centered ethics in the world of finance and economics."
1 Timothy 6: 6-10 The love of money is the root of all evils.
2. Evangelization Intention
That Christians of diverse denominations may walk toward the unity desired by Christ.
Because there are obvious divisions among Christians, the world has trouble believing in Jesus. Thus, part of evangelization—spreading the Gospel—is work and prayer for unity. At the Last Supper Jesus prayed to the Father that Christians "may all be one…so that the world may know" that the Father sent Him (John 17: 20-23). This unity among Christians must be visible so that the world can see and believe.
During the annual Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 18-25, we pray with Pope Francis that the Holy Spirit may make us one as Jesus and the Father are one—so that the world may believe.
James 4: 1-12 Where do the conflicts among you come from?
For Father Kubicki's complete reflections, please visit the Apostleship of Prayer.
December Prayer Intentions from the Holy Father
Here are the Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for the month of December courtesy of the Apostleship of Prayer as well as an excerpt of their reflection for each intention:
1. General Intention: That children who are victims of abandonment or violence may find the love and protection they need.
On Christmas a few years ago, Pope Benedict spoke of "children who are denied the love of their parents…, children who are brutally exploited as soldiers…, and children who are victims of the industry of pornography and every other appalling form of abuse." What can change this evil? "Only through the conversion of hearts, only through a change in the depths of our hearts can the cause of all this evil be overcome."
We pray for this conversion as we pray that victimized children may find the love and protection they need.
2. Mission Intention: That Christians, enlightened by the Word incarnate, may prepare humanity for the Savior's coming.
We Christians are preparing not only for the celebration of Christmas but also for the second coming of Christ. While Advent is a designated season for this preparation, we may also experience Advent every time we prepare to receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion. When we ask in prayer that we may be more like Mary, we prepare ourselves to receive the Word of God and give Him flesh in our lives.
May each Mass and daily offering help us to prepare humanity for the Savior's coming.
Pray With the Pope
Recently the Apostleship of Prayer became an IRL Affiliate organization. We welcome them and support their mission of praying for the Pope's special intentions.
The Apostleship of Prayer began in France in 1844. At that time Fr. Francis Xavier Gautrelet told a group of Jesuit seminarians who were eager to work on the missions: "Be apostles now, apostles of prayer! Offer everything you are doing each day in union with the Heart of our Lord for what He wishes, the spread of the Kingdom for the salvation of souls."
Devotion to this simple, profound way of life spread, and in time the Pope himself proposed a monthly intention. Since 1929 the Holy Father has proposed a second monthly intention, one specifically related to the missionary work of the Church. Over fifty million apostles of prayer worldwide now pray for the Pope's two prayer intentions each month.
Truly the Apostleship of Prayer is the Pope's own "prayer group." It is, as Pope John Paul II wrote in 1985, "a precious treasure from the Pope's heart and the Heart of Christ."
"That priests who experience difficulties may find comfort in their suffering, support in their doubts, and confirmation in their fidelity".
His mission intention is: "That as fruit of the continental mission, Latin American Churches may send missionaries to other Churches".
For more information visit: http://www.apostleshipofprayer.org/
Pope Benedict, Vocations and the Apostleship of Prayer
The Holy Father's prayer intention for the month of April as announced by the Apostleship of Prayer is:
"that many young people may hear the call of Christ and follow him in the priesthood and religious life."
Amen to that! And the Pontiff's mission intention is "that the risen Christ may be a sign of certain hope for the men and women of the African continent."
The Apostleship of Prayer promotes among other things the offering of each person's daily prayers, works, joys and sufferings to the Lord. Begun in France in 1844 by a group of Jesuit seminarians, the Apostleship of Prayer is truly the Pope's own "prayer group." It is, as Pope John Paul II wrote in 1985, "a precious treasure from the Pope's heart and the Heart of Christ."
The US National Director is Fr. James Kubicki, S.J., an IRL Board Member. Visit their website for morning offering prayers, the monthly intentions, reflections and much more.
Pope's Intentions for January 2012
As we begin the New Year, let's once again unite our prayers this month with those of Pope Benedict XVI. Here are the Holy Father's intentions for January 2012, as published by the Apostleship of Prayer:
- Victims of Natural Disasters. That the victims of natural disasters may receive the spiritual and material comfort they need to rebuild their lives.
- Dedication to Peace. That the dedication of Christians to peace may bear witness to the name of Christ before all men and women of good will.
January is also a month especially devoted to the Holy Name of Jesus, which was popularized by St. Bernardine of Siena in the 15th century. For more on devotion to the Holy Name, click here.
Pope's Intentions for December
Let's once again unite our prayers this month with those of Pope Benedict XVI. Here are the Holy Father's intentions for November 2011, as published by the Apostleship of Prayer:
Peace among All Peoples. That all peoples may grow in harmony and peace through mutual understanding and respect.
Children and Youth. That children and young people may be messengers of the Gospel and that they may be respected and preserved from all violence and exploitation.
Further, as we enter a new liturgical year and head toward Christmas, the Holy Father invites us to remain "watchful" and "alert" by entering prayerfully into this holy season, so that we may be ready to greet Jesus Christ, who is God with us.
Holy Souls
Let's once again unite our prayers this month with those of Pope Benedict XVI. Here are the Holy Father's intentions for November 2011, as published by the Apostleship of Prayer:
Eastern Catholic Churches. That the Eastern Catholic Churches and their venerable traditions may be known and esteemed as a spiritual treasure for the whole Church.
Justice and Reconciliation in Africa. That the African continent may find strength in Christ to pursue justice and reconciliation as set forth by the Second Synod of African Bishops.
Since the 16th century, Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. As a reminder of our duty to pray for those in Purgatory, the Church has dedicated the month of November to the Holy Souls.
The Holy Souls in Purgatory are those who have died in the state of grace but who are not yet free from all punishment due to their unforgiven venial sins and all other sins already forgiven for which satisfaction is still to be made. They are certain of entering Heaven, but first they must undergo purification.
The Holy Souls cannot help themselves because for them the night has come, when no man can work (John 9:4). It is our great privilege as their brothers and sisters in Christ that we can shorten their time of separation from God by our prayers, good works, and, especially, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
North American Martyrs
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. Today we remember and celebrate the planting of the Church in North America through the martyrdom of the Jesuit martyrs Isaac Jogues, John de Brebeuf, and companions. In honor of these true heroes of the faith, enjoy this short video with Fr. James Kobicki, S.J. of the Apostleship of Prayer.
May the courage of these martyrs, rooted in the love of God, inspire us to live wholeheartedly for Christ today, and to offer our own sufferings in union with Christ for the life of the world.
October Prayers
Let's once again unite our prayers this month with those of Pope Benedict XVI. Here are the Holy Father's intentions for October 2011, as published by the Apostleship of Prayer:
- Terminally Ill. That the terminally ill may be supported by their faith in God and the love of their brothers and sisters.
- World Mission Day. That the celebration of World Mission Day may foster in the People of God a passion for evangelization with the willingness to support the missions with prayer and economic aid for the poorest Churches.
October is also the month of the Holy Rosary, and the Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (formerly known as the feast of Our Lady of Victory, in memory of the Battle of Lepanto) on October 7th.
If we don't already do so, why not offer our Rosaries this month for the intentions recommended by the Holy Father?
Prayer Intentions
Let's once again unite our prayers this month with those of Pope Benedict XVI. Here are the Holy Father's intentions for September 2011, as published by the Apostleship of Prayer:
- Teachers. That all teachers may know how to communicate the love of truth and instill authentic moral and spiritual values.
- Church in Asia. That the Christian communities of Asia may proclaim the Gospel with fervor, witnessing to its beauty with the joy of faith.
In addition, as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11 this month, may we also pray for a new outpouring of healing, mercy, and peace throughout the world. Check out the USCCB website for resources for parish and diocesan observances of the anniversary.

Jurassic Park 3D – watch the official trailer…
Jurassic Park gets a 3D make over for its 20th anniversary …
It is hard to believe it is 20 years ago that Steven Speilberg brought dinosaurs back to life in the undisputed movie classic Jurassic Park.
Watch Jurassic Park 3D official trailer:
As a child I was totally obsessed with this film. I had everything from toys to t-shirts, colouring in books to costumes and by the time I had worn out the VHS which eclipsed all other Christmas gifts in 1993, I knew the script pretty much off by heart.
I can not wait to see Jurassic Park again on the big screen, especially in 3D.
Shoot her…. shooooooot her.

The pop trio Wilson Phillips, comprised of singers Chynna Phillips and Carnie and Wendy Wilson, is back in the limelight, thanks to a new album, "Dedicated," and a reality series, "Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On," airing on the TV Guide Network. For Chynna Phillips, the CD of covers is a way to pay homage to their parents and celebrate their musical heritage. (Phillips is the daughter of the Mamas and the Papas members Michelle and the late John Phillips. The Wilsons are the daughters of Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame.)
A resident of Santa Barbara, Calif., Phillips competed last year on "Dancing with the Stars." She has also released music as part of the Christian pop duo Chynna and Vaughan and does charitable work for organizations such as the Los Angelitos Orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. An accomplished cook who enjoys preparing meals for her children and her husband William Baldwin -- even when they're traveling -- Phillips says she doesn't like to admit she's 44 years old because "I'm still 21 at heart."
You may follow Phillips on Twitter (at)chynnaphillips and get updates about the group at http://www.wilsonphillipsmusic.com
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. Tuscany, Italy. It sounds so cliche, but it's such a beautiful spot. I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather go. If I can't make it to Tuscany, my bed will do, too.
Q. To someone who was going to Tuscany for the first time, what would you recommend that they do during their visit?
A. Rent a little villa -- something cute, quaint and cozy -- and stay as long as you can. Fill your days hiking, exploring, discovering, interacting with the people and eating. My favorite thing to do is to pack a picnic, find a secluded hillside, bring the one you love and kiss your worries goodbye. One of my favorite things about Italy is the care that they take with prepping their food with the best ingredients they can. Italians love to eat and I do too! I love finding a local market where I buy some fresh produce and bring it home to whip up a simple meal with lots of garlic, basil and olive oil and serve with a bottle of wine. Italy is amazing and Tuscany is my favorite.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. I love Montauk, N.Y. It used to be untapped. Now it's becoming more tapped into, but it's really the best place to escape, especially in the off season! Everyone goes to the Hamptons in the summertime, but my favorite time to go to Montauk is after all the tourists have gone home. I rent a little seaside cottage and love to watch the ocean. The temperature is cooler and you might not be able to go swimming, but the waves and the shore are absolutely breathtaking. The best restaurants aren't crowded then and the people in Montauk are really the nicest you'll find anywhere in the United States. The residents who live there year round enjoy such a close knit community and they are so generous to share their home with people each year. What I love so much about it is the sense of community and the beauty of the town.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. I'm not sure if it was my first vacation, but it was my first true getaway where we were gone for an extended period of time when I was about seven. I lived in London for a year and I loved it. It really changed who I was. Before I left for London, I was on the lower end of my class scholastically. But when I returned to Los Angeles, I climbed to the top of my class and probably had the best penmanship in the Los Angeles school district! I lived in a six-story house with my mother who, at the time, was shooting a film called "Valentino." It didn't have an elevator so I also came back with the best hamstrings of all my girlfriends. I remember watching The Changing of the Guard, going to see Big Ben, walking in Hyde Park and I remember collecting acorns in the park. It's funny how you remember little things like that.
Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A. My favorite weekend getaways in California are Monterey Bay and wine country, especially Sonoma. My husband and I love to take a drive up the coast. It's such a romantic and beautiful place.
Q. How do your travels differ depending on whether you're working or taking a vacation with loved ones?
A. Hotels are always different, but really it doesn't differ much because I still have to bring my arsenal of kitchenware wherever I go: my steamer, blender, chopping block, knife, organic fruits and vegetables and a cooler. I'm basically a traveling kitchen. No matter where we are or what we're doing or who's traveling with me, I'm always prepping a home-cooked meal. Knowing exactly what I am eating and how it is prepared is very important to me. I've found prepping my own food when I travel is the one way I can really stay sane when we're on the road for a tour or on vacation!
Q. What are your favorite hotels?
A. My favorite hotels are the ones that don't have elevators. I'm not one for loving high floors. A one-floor hotel with less than 50 rooms is my dream, but since finding those are impossible, unless you're on a beach somewhere, I like boutique hotels. But the Peninsula (http://www.peninsula.com) is great, too. The service is impeccable and it's so gorgeous.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
A. Paris, London, Capetown, South Africa, Florence and Rome. I've been so blessed to be able to see so many places in my lifetime.

A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'
