The inspection was carried out by three Additional Inspectors.
Description of the school
Begbrook is a large primary school with 40 children attending its two Nursery classes. The proportion of pupils from ethnic minority groups is around 40%, closely reflecting the local community. In recognition of its work, the school has received an Artsmark Award.

Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
Begbrook Primary is a good and improving school. It has energetically tackled the issues raised in the last inspection report and many of them are considerably improved – for example, the curriculum and standards in science. The improvement is due to the outstanding drive and vision of the headteacher, well supported by his senior team. Together, they provide the staff with the guidance and support that enables them to work to the best of their capability. Leadership and management are good. The overwhelming majority of parents think highly of the school. One typical comment was 'Begbrook is a terrific school, with really dedicated, enthusiastic staff.' Although a minority felt that their child was not getting sufficient individual support, they were far outnumbered by those who wrote to explain how the school had 'gone the extra mile' for their child.
Children start school with skills that are broadly in line with those nationally, although their literacy skills are below those expected nationally. The school sensibly concentrates on these and by the end of the Reception Year they are in line with national expectations. In Years 1 and 2, pupils make satisfactory progress to achieve average standards by the end of Year 2. Progress is steady through Years 3 to 6 so that by the end of Year 6 standards are above average, although writing is not as good as it could be. Overall, pupils' achievement is good and standards are above average.
Pupils' personal development and well-being are good. The pupils enjoy school. Many comment that lessons are fun, and the teachers are 'fair' and explain things so they can understand them. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils have a good understanding of how to lead safe and healthy lifestyles although some admit that they eat too much 'junk' food. Many take up responsibilities in school and contribute well to the wider community. They develop skills that will benefit them in later life. As well as literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology, they also learn leadership and team skills, and develop enterprise awareness by raising money for various projects. The pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good, based on the care and respect with which they treat each other, and the role models of adults in the school. They develop the knowledge and understanding of the cultures of others which prepares them well for life in multicultural Britain.
Teaching and learning overall are good, although lessons vary from satisfactory to outstanding. Pupils are fully engaged, and are keen to contribute in lessons, except sometimes when they are writing on topics that do not particularly interest them. Teachers provide tasks and activities that effectively meet the needs of all the pupils. The curriculum is good. It is broad and varied and considerably improved, with a good emphasis on cross-curriculum links. The school provides a rich Foundation Stage curriculum that covers all the six areas of leaning, and interesting and enjoyable activities make learning meaningful. Care, guidance and welfare are good. Child protection and safeguarding arrangements are meticulous. The school uses external agencies well to support vulnerable children. Pupils are given clear guidance on how they can improve their learning.
The school is well organised and finances well managed. The school gives good value for money.
What the school should do to improve further
- Improve standards of writing, by ensuring that subjects are of greater relevance and interest to the pupils.
- Improve the quality of teaching so that it is uniformly and consistently good.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Overall, the achievement of pupils is good and standards are above average.
Children join the Foundation Stage with average skills and knowledge, except in communication, language and literacy, particularly writing, and linking sounds and letters. Children make good progress but by the time they start Year 1, some weaknesses in reading and writing remain, although standards are generally in line with expectations. By the end of Year 2, standards in reading, writing and mathematics are average. Test results in 2006 for Year 2 were average.
During the course of Key Stage 2, standards rise steadily, although pupils do not achieve as well as they should in writing. Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities achieve well because of the well-organised and focused support they receive. By the end of Year 6, standards are above average. Pupils are set challenging targets and most achieve them.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils' personal development and well-being, including their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, are good. They have the capacity to be reflective and thoughtful, and are polite and courteous. They have a good understanding of moral issues and develop a good degree of understanding and tolerance of others whose background is different from theirs. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is good. In the Foundation Stage, children settle quickly into school routines and learn to work collaboratively.
Attendance is average and improving. Pupils respond enthusiastically to the warm, caring school atmosphere which increases their enjoyment of learning. They feel safe and are confident they can approach staff to express concerns or seek help. Relationships between pupils and teachers are very positive. The pupils respond well to the school's guidance on healthy lifestyles, although a minority still prefer to eat what they know to be unhealthy food. There are few incidents of bullying and racism which are promptly and appropriately dealt with. As they progress through the school, pupils develop confidence, leadership and teamworking skills, for example, by taking responsibility for planning a weekly 'celebration assembly'. They develop useful enterprise skills by selling goods and services to raise money.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
Teaching and learning are good, although lessons vary from satisfactory to outstanding. The pupils learn well because they enjoy lessons, and often find them fun. There is a good learning atmosphere in classrooms, where routines are well understood, and pupils flourish when being taught directly by the teacher or when working independently in pairs or groups. The teachers plan lessons well, ensuring a good variety of activities to keep the pupils' attention, and setting tasks of varying levels of difficulty to meet the different needs of pupils. Teachers focus well on groups of pupils who need particular support during the lesson, although this can sometimes result in others not receiving as much attention as they need. Although pupils have plenty of opportunities to improve their writing, they are sometimes not sufficiently engaged by the topic about which they are writing to achieve the standards of which they are capable. Teaching assistants play an effective role in learning, both in the class and when they withdraw pupils from lessons for special support.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The school provides a good curriculum that is much improved since the last inspection. There are good links between different areas of the curriculum, but the school recognises that it needs to be developed to achieve a greater degree of relevance and coherence for the pupils. There is good provision for those pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, and those learning English as an additional language. Education for health and safety is good, ensuring that pupils know the benefits of exercise and the need for a balanced diet. The curriculum supports pupils' personal development well. Curriculum resources are good, and are well used. The Foundation Stage provision is good, and staff make effective use of assessments to help children to make progress in their work. The many varied clubs effectively contribute to the pupils' enjoyment of the curriculum, and are well attended, for example, the 'Peaceful Piggies' club to teach pupils how to be calm, which is led by a parent.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
Care, guidance and support are good. Safeguarding arrangements to keep pupils safe and protected are good. Procedures for checking staff backgrounds and assessing risks are well established and comply with statutory guidelines. Teaching and support staff treat all the pupils as individuals and know their needs and concerns. The pupils have a great deal of confidence that they will be looked after and cared for in school. Vulnerable children and those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities are well supported, both within school and through close links with external agencies. All pupils are given good quality advice on how they can improve their work, although they need more guidance on how to improve their writing. Pupils' achievements are celebrated, developing their self-confidence. There are effective systems to prepare pupils for transition each year to the next class and to smooth their move to secondary school.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
Leadership and management are good, with some outstanding features. The vision and drive of the headteacher and senior managers are outstanding, and the main reason why the school is improving. They provide clear guidance and support to staff, which has resulted in a strong team throughout the school, sharing the vision and focused on the welfare of the pupils and on raising standards. Subject leaders have developed their roles well since the previous inspection and many of them have a positive impact on the consistency and quality with which their subject is being taught. Staff have good capacity to improve because of the excellence of the staff development programme. Governors play an active role in the leadership of the school through their support and monitoring activities. The performance of the pupils is tracked meticulously so that those at risk of underachievement can be supported, and the way the school monitors and evaluates all its activities, and plans for improvement where appropriate, is exemplary. The school is committed to all pupils and to promoting understanding and harmony in all groups both within the school and the wider community. The school is well organised and finances are well managed. Given the improvements seen across the school, particularly in the curriculum and standards, it has a good capacity to improve further.

Falconry License
The sport of falconry has a rich history
throughout the world that involves a

and a healthy well-trained raptor
working together as a hunting team.

A General falconer may possess other raptor species in addition to red-tailed hawks and American kestrels, and may possess up to two raptors.
- Master - must have at least five years experience as a General Falconer, provide recommendation for advancement from three Master falconers, and be approved for advancement by the New York State Falconry Advisory Board. A Master falconer may possess up to three raptors for falconry.

I was having a nice enough chat with the combative Mr. O'Reilly, holding my own, defending pot smokers and sex educators and other sinners. And then... O'Reilly asked me what I thought about gay bathhouses. I made the mistake of telling O'Reilly the truth: I hate gay bathhouses and I think they should be closed ... O'Reilly pounced. "I want to go to a gay bathhouse!" he barked. "I want to go to a gay bathhouse!" I was stunned. There I was, sitting across the table from the darling of the American right, and... and... he was shouting at me about wanting to go to a gay bathhouse. "If I want to pursue happiness in a gay bathhouse, shouldn't I be free to do that, Mr. Savage?"
No, it's not. Unluess PBS is also "competing" in the "open market". Its primary funding comes from the government,*sigh* how to put it mildly. Uh ... no. looks more like 14.5% of total revenues come from government grants. And even at $77 million, it's still a bargain compared to, say, a $3.3 billion bailout of California utilities.
and should steer clear of divisive political issues, or should no longer receive taxpayer cash.if it helps, perhaps you could think of that $77 million being used to pay for Nova and various Ken Burns documentaries, and all the rest of the money for "divisive" programming like Frontline and Newshour as funded by those evil communist liberals who are paying for the service out of their own free will?

I'm hoping someone here has some idea of what I'm about to waffle on about.
Have just integrated a mac suite into the windows domain.
Details as best I can remember:
-Mac Server: Lion 10.7.3 (Mac Mini), running in magic triangle setup (OD master, kerberos disabled, AD authentication, DNS running)
-Windows: Server 2k3 and 2k8r2, both running at 2k3 domain functional (and forest) level, with the relevant AD upgrade file applied (I forget what it's called, but it's a thingy file that upgrades AD schema to accept Win7/2k8 boxes on a 2k3 domain).
-GPO's applied to OU's containing all users, seperate policy for students/teachers, along with a default domain policy.
-MacbookPro's with lion 10.7.3
Followed standard guides for setting up magic triangle, used Deploystudio to create netboot and netinstall clients, then hopped the clients on and set the names accordingly.
The problem:
WGM settings are not taking effect correctly
-User WGM settings are only applied to users with no AD GPO's in effect, or users with domain admin access.
-Machine WGM settings are only applied to machines if user has admin access (local or domain)
I moved the machines to a dedicated OU and blocked policy inheritance, didn't have any affect on settings.
I created a new user and only made it a member of Domain Users group, and put that user into folder with blocked policy inheritance. This user correctly applied WGM user settings.
I tried adding users with Augmented records into OD, no effect.
Now it looks to me like AD is forcing the GPO's and ignoring all WGM settings, but I can't for the life of me work out how to get round this.
It's not GPO settings overriding specific options, it's ignoring ALL WGM settings if a GPO is in effect for a non-admin user, but does seem to apply for users with admin priviledges.
Anyone know what I've done wrong? What am I missing? I'd rather not create all my users with no GPO's applied! And I don't want to have different logins just for the macs.
Any help much appreciated.

Following on from my previous two zines, I'm working on a new series called Ugly Girls, and need your help to raise money for printing. I've set up a Kickstarter for that very purpose, where every donation counts as a preorder so when the zine is complete you have a copy guaranteed. £5 gets you a copy of the zine, whilst £10 gets you a zine and exclusive extras such as prints, postcards, and possibly badges and/or textiles. There is an extra £1 charge for any donations outside of the UK for postage costs.
Pretty Girls Don't Eat.
It's a phrase that is thrown around frequently online and in real life. It's supposed to inspire, motivate, and encourage people who are dieting or want to lose weight, but instead has a morbid undertone that reeks of eating disorders and unhealthy intentions. Not only that, it is used to shame girls who do eat, calling them ugly or fat as though a healthy appetite is a sin. Similar to the well-known Kate Moss quote 'nothing feels as good as skinny feels', it may have had harmless or ignorant origins but has since grown to be a phrase used to degrade those of us who eat and elevate those of us who don't into a glorified (and delusional) state of superiority. It also raises the question of: who are these girls trying to be 'pretty' for anyway? For themselves? Or is it another example of society and the patriarchy's standardised beauty expectations influencing and manipulating a person's life?
Ugly Girls is a zine that will subvert this phrase and turn it on its head. Featuring local girls as models and local eateries as backgrounds, Ugly Girls aims to disprove the myth that is "pretty girls don't eat" in the messiest way possible. Not only that, the photographs taken will question the meaning behind the phrase entirely. If pretty girls don't eat, wouldn't you rather be 'ugly'?
Pre order on Kickstarter and help cover printing and making costs!
Guys this has £20 to go and 31 hours left!! Go go go!!
Only £20 til I reach my target! Please click to back me or reblog this post or share the link on twitter/facebook!
Have a look at this if you're interested and support if you can :)

In a very interesting and mostly unforeseen move, the Atlanta Hawks have announced the signing of journeyman forward Cartier Martin.
ROSTER UPDATE – We have signed Cartier Martin. Details here: http://t.co/expKqf9fPO
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 15, 2013
It is important to distinguish immediately that Martin hasn't been issued a guaranteed contract by the Hawks, but in fact, he's simply being brought in to compete for a regular season roster spot.
Martin is a 5-year NBA veteran at the swingman position, and it seems clear that he is considered, at the very least, a potential upgrade to the bench. He is an athletic player at 6-foot-7, but as a career 39% field goal shooter (yikes), Martin has struggled to put things together, in full, offensively, while never displaying a singular "elite" skill at this level.
By the looks of it, Martin will be competing with another journeyman forward, James Johnson, for a single spot on the Hawks bench, as the rest of the 15-man roster looks to be crowded by guaranteed deals. The Hawks could probably use the "3 and D" possibilities that Martin could bring (as well as his ability to play the shooting guard spot), but Johnson is probably the more purely talented player, and has the pedigree of being a 1st-round pick in the league.
Either way, it appears as if the Hawks aren't close to done with the finalization of their roster.

Julia Butterfly Hill (born February 18, 1974 as Julia Lorraine Hill) is an American activist and environmentalist. Hill is best known for living in a 180-foot (55 m)-tall, roughly 1500-year-old California Redwood tree (age based on first-hand ring count of a slightly smaller neighboring ancient redwood that had been cut down) for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999. Hill lived in the tree, affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent loggers of the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down.
Hill lived on two six-by-six-foot platforms for 738 days. Luna's trunk was her sidewalk and exercise treadmill. Hill learned many survival skills while living in Luna, such as "seldom washing the soles of her feet, because the sap helped her feet stick to the branches better."[8] Hill used solar-powered cell phones for radio interviews, became an "in-tree" correspondent for a cable television show and hosted TV crews to protest old-growth clear cutting.[9] With ropes, Hill hoisted up survival supplies brought by an eight-member support crew. To keep warm, Hill wrapped herself tight in a sleeping bag, leaving only a small hole for breathing. For meals, Hill used a single-burner propane stove.[10] Throughout her ordeal, Hill weathered freezing rains and 40 mph (64 km/h). winds from El Niño,[10] helicopter harassment, a ten-day siege by company security guards, and intimidation by angry loggers.[5][7]

Manager says fans played key role in Arsenal win.
Manager Roberto Martinez has hailed the 'Goodison effect' after supporters helped roar Everton to Sunday's vital victory over Arsenal.
A racous home crowd witnessed the Blues dismantle their top four rivals, with Steven Naismith and Romelu Lukaku both netting before Mikel Arteta's hour-mark own goal.
Martinez later described his side's performance as "perfect", before insisting much of the motivation came tumbling down from the stands.
Asked for his thoughts on the 3-0 triumph, the Blues boss told evertontv: "I think it was down to the atmosphere that the fans created. I've said it before that the Goodison effect is important for us. We are very proud of our fans, of what they created today.
"Then, the performance of the players is one for everyone at Everton to be extremely, extremely proud of.
"I think it was the work of the last 10 months in evidence. We were perfect in everything that we did, the tactical awareness of every player was incredible and to play eye to eye with a team like Arsenal, who have been setting standards in European football for many years, is an incredible example of how our young players are developing and how special the senior players are at our football club."
And here are some of your Twitter comments about Sunday's electric atmosphere:
@SR_1312: I've not heard an atmosphere at Goodison like that since Fiorentina at home about five years ago.

At first it seemed as though Snoop was getting off with a slap on the wrist: arriving in Kristiansand for a gig at Hovefestivalen with eight grams of marijuana and an excess of cash, Snoop was fined 52,000kr (£5,500). Despite the sniffer-dog bust, the 40-year-old was allowed to go on and play the music festival, from which he tweeted updates about getting high: "Smoking crip n. cuzns," he wrote. "Hahahahagahhaha."
But Norwegian officials have had the last laugh. According to the Associated Press, Snoop has been barred from returning to the country for the next 24 months. He will not be filing an appeal, his lawyer said. "[Snoop] can live with the decision."
This was not, after all, Snoop Dogg's first run-in with Norwegian border guards. He was held upon arrival in Oslo in October 2011, when agents apparently told him he had "2much money". He had also been detained in Sweden four years before on suspicion of using illegal narcotics. Until 2010, Snoop was routinely refused his visa for proposed tours of the UK.
Recently, Snoop announced that he is turning his attention away from rap to a genre of music that is even more notorious for its love of cannabis. Recording under the name Snoop Lion, he will release his first reggae album later this year.

Artist Glenn Kaino Creates Signature Glow Cocktail
PJ's Wish Cocktail Featured Exclusively at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel
Santa Monica, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2013) – Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel has commissioned acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist Glenn Kaino to create a signature cocktail in celebration of this year's Glow festivities in Santa Monica on Saturday, Sept. 28.
PJ's Wish, the event's signature cocktail, created in collaboration with mixologist and filmmaker PJ Pesce, will be available exclusively at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel for one night only.
The cocktail is an extension of Kaino's work for Glow titled, Well, a performance installation that invokes the generative potential of a secret — which may be described as having two component parts, the knowledge that the secret exists, and the secret information itself. Well is staged on the beach as a transparent wishing well that occasionally flashes with light and acts as a bright beacon, attracting thousands of people and provoking them to create a new secret via the process of making a wish and then throwing a coin inside. As the coins descend, they will agitate the bioluminescent water and create a glowing light from what was previously clear liquid. This activity then charges the landscape with an abstract glowing visualization of the endless possibilities of the hidden thoughts that the light represents. Kaino's practice often mobilizes disparate economies of knowledge and puts them together in unexplored ways within the context of art in order to create meaning. For Glow, the artist ventures into the science of biology to create this magical moment, which features rare bioluminescent organisms, carefully grown over several months by Dr. Michael Latz at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at UCSD.
PJ's Wish is an individual performance piece, initiated by the delivery of a cocktail that is served in two parts and culminating in the action of the guest making a wish and generating their own secret as they combine a delicate sphere of lime juice with St. George Terrior Gin in a glass, resulting in a fresh twist on a classic gimlet recipe. The resulting chemical magic that takes place during the mixing of the separate ingredients reflects and extends the experience at Kaino's Well.
About Glow
Inspired originally by Paris' Nuit Blanche, Glow has commissioned 15 site-specific, interactive art projects to activate Santa Monica's iconic pier and beach. For a single night, the heart of Santa Monica will be transformed into a massive outdoor museum, where art exists not just to be seen, but to be experienced. Like Santa Monica itself, Glow represents a union of technology, creativity, and natural splendor. With a distinguished roster of keynote artists that includes Mathieu Briand, Janet Echelman, Glenn Kaino, Rebecca Mendéz, and Victoria Vesna, Glow is a veritable survey of contemporary art practices, ranging from large-scale earthworks to customized, participatory apps for mobile devices. It is the first all-night arts event in the United States to emphasize the commissioning of new work, transforms Santa Monica into a world of interactive and engaging contemporary art installations. Santa Monica hosted the first Glow in 2008, attracting an estimated 250,000 participants, followed by another in 2010. Glow is produced by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Foundation in partnership with the Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau, Downtown Santa Monica, Santa Monica Pier and KCRW.
About Glenn Kaino
Glenn Kaino's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and he was selected to represent the United States at the Cairo Biennale 2013. He has had solo exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; ArtPace, San Antonio; REDCAT, Los Angeles, CA; the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, New York; Rosamund Felsen Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; and The Project, New York, NY.

In 2004, Kaino was included in the Whitney Biennial of American Art. Kaino is a Los Angeles native and received a BFA from UC Irvine and an MFA from UC San Diego; he currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Hello there,
First of all: Amazing documentary. It helped me realize that life is a ride with ups and downs and that I rather take the rollercoaster than the kiddy train. Now I'm off Lithium and free again to fail and learn from my mistakes.
I want to contribute with a "crazy" idea:
Let's learn from a computer:
CPU (in order processing) -> Left brain
GPU (out of order processing) -> Right brain
RAM -> short-term Memory
Harddisk -> long-term Memory
Motherboard -> "veins" or metabolism... or whatever
So what does the PC when the CPU or GPU overheat? It increases the fan speed or decreases power to the system so that the system can cool down.
That's why I like to keep a cool head
But how do we decrease power? I think Lithium does that. I think it "slows down" the whole body and therefore also the brain. That's why you get fat, tired and stable (but also more boring )

Learn more about the Simmons sisters and co., who are ready to take their careers to the next level.
Take a trip down memory lane to see how Angela and Vanessa grew up in Run's House.
Best known as the daughters of Run-DMC's Rev. Run, Vanessa and Angela Simmons have literally grown up on MTV. Across six seasons of Run's House and in the first season of Daddy's Girls, we've watched them begin to make their own place in the world, but always under the watchful eye of their father. After all, they are Daddy's Girls.
In the second season of Daddy's Girls, Angela and Vanessa have moved beyond getting their feet wet in Los Angeles and have a newfound confidence. These girls are determined to leave their dynamic stamp on L.A. with their old school values and their new school swagger.
Last season, Daddy's Girls followed Vanessa and Angela as they officially left the comforts of the family home in New Jersey to run their own business and live full-time in Los Angeles. In this season, Vanessa and Angela's lives are blowing up in awesome new directions. The accomplished entrepreneurs of their shoe and apparel company, Pastry, find themselves taking their business to new levels.
As they move up the professional ladder, Angela and Vanessa are also kicking their living quarters up a notch, as they move into swanky new digs in the Hollywood Hills. After sleeping on the girls' couch for months, their funky cousin Jessica finally gets her own room, but has to share it with Danielle -- Angela's childhood friend who moved out from New York. With Danielle's sassy, outspoken demeanor, don't be surprised to find some tension growing in the new household.
Meanwhile, Vanessa and Angela are continue to strive to make Pastry a success that's worthy of the Simmons family name. But they still manage to have fun and meet new friends along the way. Rounding out the Daddy's Girls ensemble are good friends Lynn and Brian. Lynn is a beautiful, bubbly model and aspiring actress who is more than just a little boy-crazy. Brian is a smooth, charming, music A&R rep --- a dead ringer for Johnny Depp who's well-connected in the L.A. scene. From dating problems to friendship squabbles, Brian and Lynn never experience a dull moment when hanging with the Simmons sisters.
The second season of the show finds Angela and Vanessa facing all sorts of challenges and adventures, both personal and professional. Whenever the girls find themselves in over their heads, they know that they have a great support system to lean on. In addition to their friends, their famous dad, Rev. Run, is always just a phone call away. But even as Angela and Vanessa grow, they'll always be Daddy's Girls.

Is it possible that the natural role of humankind is the life cycles of this planet and the physical presence of the God is the Earth?
Evolution has given us higher intelligence. It did not change our natural role in the universe. Distance between each living planet keep us from other forms of living. Otherwise, we are bacteria to the planets. Central nerve systems allow us to think. Then physical presence always comes first. Lives have hierarchy. It depends on scale.
Topics: philosophy religion science

Mar 25 2011: It is neither pantheism nor Gaia hypothesis. The assumption I put forward herewith is that the whole universe consists of lives in different levels. By comparing the structure of the Earth with the mother cell, we have the clues of our natural role in this universe. People resent from the truth such as the absence of lives in the nearby planets and the history of biological evolution from the three domains of lives. Instead, many trend to seek reliefs from religions. "Deceiving yourself is deceiving the others." You all know well that the God never appears physically because we are indivisible (inside her physical presence). The God is only a manipulator, which coexists with us. My question is about the TIME. When will all of us admit the truth that Lives in Different Levels is an universal hypothesis that is the ultimate answer for all religions and our existence.

What if I said that St. Augustine was a libertarian? This is not mere provocation. Aside from the obvious anachronism of applying a modern term to the late Roman period this statement is probably true. Of course there are some caveats. Augustine was a theologian and political theory was only of marginal interest. He did not, so far as I can tell, stress the importance of human agency and property rights or the dignity of man but his ultimate political prescription is for some sort of minarchism.
For Augustine people could not be trusted. The only purposes of the state are to protect citizens from internal and external threats. Beyond this it ought to restrain itself for action was likely to do more harm than good. Besides, even if the state could affect positive change such action was not likely to succeed, was not its purpose, and not of any real consequence (given the importance of the spiritual life). To be fair this is pushing the matter a bit far as our political systems today are more nuanced and more representative than those of the late Roman period but even so there is a definitive libertarian bent in Augustine's political thought (and politics is the concern here).
The most important insight though is that Augustine (most famously in his distinction between the City of God and the City of Man) emphasized the importance of different spheres in which human beings may operate. In a certain sense Augustine was fortunate to live in such a violent and chaotic era and, more importantly, one in which his spiritual system had not yet fully triumphed. As such he recognized what the medievals (Aquinas)
forgot and what the moderns are barely able to recognize: that politics is not everything, much less the most important thing, there are other distinct spheres in which we can act.
In the medieval world administrative collapse, feudalism and a spiritually homogenous society allowed for church and state (read morality and state in later eras) to be intertwined. This trend was solidified most notably in 1648 by the Treaty of Westphalia (which simultaneously cemented the notion that the nation-state is a legitimate political unit and declared that the sovereign ought to determine the religion of his subjects). Of course the enlightenment projects operated on the same principle. The state ought to walk hand in hand with science and progress and the creation of a better man.
Now we find ourselves in 2014 and are so enamored with politics and what we imagine it entails that we generally believe, either explicitly or implicitly that whatever is good must somehow be connected to the political realm. Augustine recognized that this was not the case. Between the fourth century and the rise of modern liberalism (though not all varieties) only a few reformed theologians seemed to recognize this truth and they were essentially swept away. They were of course admirers of Augustine and like him were more interested in theology than practical politics.
Nevertheless Augustine had hit on something fundamental. Politics is not nearly as important as we like to pretend. We ought to be very suspicious of those with power. We ought to exercise ourselves in other spheres. The state has no legitimate functions beyond merely protecting us from harm. That which matters is not, and ought not, to be political.

Violence turning Arab Spring into winter, Maronite patriarch says
Violence and bloodshed is turning the "Arab Spring" into winter, the head of Lebanon's Maronite Church said, threatening Christians and Muslims alike across the Middle East. Patriarch Beshara al-Rai, whose Maronite Church also has a strong presence in Syria, said change could not be brought to the Arab world by force and that Christians feared the turmoil was helping extremist Muslim groups.
"We are with the Arab Spring but we are not with this spring of violence, war, destruction and killing. This is turning to winter," Rai told Reuters in Bkirki, seat of the Maronite church in hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea north of Beirut.
The upheaval sweeping through the Arab world, toppling four veteran leaders, gave voice to millions of people who suffered decades of repression. But it also brought conflict in Libya and has tipped Syria toward civil war.
"We say that we cannot implement reforms by force and arms. No one can guess the scale of the great losses and damage which could result," said Rai, speaking this week in an ornately decorated reception room in the patriarchate in Bkirki.
"How can it be an Arab Spring when people are being killed every day?" he said. "They speak of Iraq and democracy, and one million Christians out of an original 1.5 million have fled Iraq."

AT&T: iPhone MMS launching Friday afternoon
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Wireless / WiFi
Just a quick note to those of you who haven't already enabled MMS on your iPhone yourself already, the official rollout happens this Friday afternoon, according to AT&T's Facebook page:
MMS Update: We know you've been eager for this service so we wanted to offer a quick update on the launch plans for MMS on Friday, Sept. 25. Late morning, Pacific Time, on Friday, the new carrier settings update enabling MMS should be live and ready to download through iTunes. We'll provide the steps and all of the details you need right here at that time.
So there you have it - we fully expect that Friday to be full of cute kitten pictures, and video files of people mooning their iPhone cameras. Good times.

Those who are awaiting for the MMS service on iPhone will now rejoice. Apple and AT&T are rolling out the long awaited iPhone MMS service on Friday, September 25th, as a free service. The hitch is that it's only available for owners of the iPhone 3G – 1G and 2G users will be out of luck. It has been lamented for a long time that the iPhone doesn't have a multimedia messaging service, but it does now. The only unfortunate drawback is this is going to make iPhone owners even more sanctimonious – and they get annoying. SO no need for iPhone owners to wait for their tax resolution checks from the government – they now get free multimedia messages with the iPhone MMS. http://personalmoneystore.com/tax-resolution-tax-debt-negotiation-settlement/

In last two weeks Eastern Washington and North Idaho have seen over five ATV accidents including one death in the LC Valley last week. While ATV riding is fun, it's important to learn proper technique to remain safe.
"We think it takes special skills to ride an ATV," says Dale Stevens, a licensed ATV safety instructor with the ATV Safety Institute. ASI is a non-profit sponsored by the all the major ATV manufacturers. Instructors like Stevens teach regular safety classes to educate riders on proper technique, safety skills and the responsibilities that come with owning and riding ATVs.
After taking his course many riders tell Stevens that they didn't know what a work out riding is and that they expected it to be easier. Stevens says that a lot of people expect ATVs to be like riding a couch on wheels but it that it takes a lot of physical effort and knowledge of how ATVs operate to remain safe while riding.
Official press release from the City of Moscow:
In preparation for the Main Street Grind and Inlay Project later this summer, City Water and Street Department crews will be performing utility repairs on Main Street between 6th and "A" Street beginning on Tuesday, February 12.
The Main Street Grind and Inlay Project, to occur this summer, will consist of milling the top 2 inches of the existing asphalt in the travel lanes only, sealing any existing cracks, applying a geotextile fabric to inhibit reflective cracking, and replacing the 2 inches of asphalt. The project will be followed by a slurry seal applied to the full width of Main Street, including the parking lanes. The base project will run from 6th Street to 3rd Street, with additional alternatives extending the project north to 2nd or "A" Street depending on bids received.
The Washington State Patrol is expecting a major traffic impact due to two events this weekend for Eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle.

Then on Sunday, the Idaho Transportation Department will close down eastbound I-90 at the Washington-Idaho border due to a construction project. The closure will start Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. and last through 5:00 a.m. Monday morning. All traffic will be diverted to State Line Exit 299 at that time and drivers should see back-up from Liberty Lake to state line.

About Paul DeVore
On a one-week vacation to Bar Harbor in 1976, We fell in love with the Town and National Park. We signed a lease on a small shop--and never returned to Boston. A frequent fantasy of visitors;We were lucky enuf to make it work. For 25 years We owned Boston Baked Beads, The Dancing Deer &The Blue Heron Shop. We grew up living sweetly in small towns, but none was as beautiful as this one.
Paul DeVore purchased this apartment in 1989
Why Paul DeVore chose Bar Harbor
While operating 2 shops in Bar Harbor, we began searching for a retreat that would feel like it was a million miles from the happy noise and congestion of the downtown. It also needed to be of interesting construction & history. After 5 years, we found the Chalet of the Bears, deep in the woods and perched on a cliff above the Atlantic--with a private ocean beach at the foot of the cliff.
What makes this apartment unique
The Chalet of the Bears was built by a wealthy family during the 'roaring 20s'--a social peak in Bar Harbor. Experience what it is like to live for awhile in 'the house on the hill' from High Society days.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This was the most fulfilling vacation we've had as far back as we can remember. It's the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We were in search of a little solitude, and we found it here at the Chalet, down at the ocean, and in the mountains of the National Park.

Bump Watch: CPR and First Aid key skills for parents
EUGENE, Ore. - Leonard Hutson is refreshing his skills after his 4-year-old granddaughter nearly drowned.
"It was a horrible feeling," Hutson said. "I didn't know what to do.
"To watch someone, to watch my granddaughter that I held - I don't know, it was a strange feeling.
"I would advise them to take a first aid class," said Leonard Hutson. "It can happen to you. I was one of those 'it could never happen to me'."
As a parent, there's a lot to think about when it comes to caring for your child: the diapers, the feedings, capturing those memorable moments.
Safety is a top concern, too.
Are you or the person watching your baby or toddler prepared?
The American Red Cross offers classes to make sure your family is ready to take action in an emergency.
They're life saving skills that no parent wants to perform on their children, but it could be a matter of life and death.
Red Cross said choking is one of the main safety concerns for children and infants. Many of the choking hazards are found in your home, like batteries, coins and tops on containers.
Kids put everything in their mouth," said Red Cross instructor Michael Carson. "So pop bottle tops, items in the trash, of course Little Smokies and some of those other food items we have at barbecues that we don't think about."
Carson said the goal of these classes is practice, repetition and going through the motions - so when it's time to act, the training kicks in.

Orange County Chapter
HDSA Orange County
We in the Orange County Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America are on a mission to end one of life's cruelest illnesses.
Huntington's disease is a genetically caused brain disorder that systematically robs people of their ability to walk, talk, eat, and think. Eventually, people with Huntington's become totally dependent up on others. There is no effective treatment or cure.
We offer hope. The Orange County Chapter supports affected individuals and their families, raises public awareness, and funds research towards a cure. On this website you can learn about our challenges and goals, upcoming events, fundraising opportunities, and soon we'll include some the stories of people's brave struggles against the disease and dedicated researchers' quest for scientific advances.
We invite you to join the many caring companies, individual donors, and volunteers who have made a difference in people's lives. With your help we can end Huntington's Disease forever.
We'd like to thank the Orange County Boy Scouts for allowing us to participate in the 2014 Scout-O-Rama and helping us increase awareness of Huntington's Disease and HDSA.
We also wish to express our extreme gratitude to all who stopped by our booth, whether to ask about HD or just to enter our drawing. You allowed us to share our stories of those we've lost and those still suffering from HD and JHD as well as our hopes for a cure and care for those suffering form this horrible disease.
The winning number of the 2014 drawing is 304701

Brussels and Antwerp -- A place to sample many different beers?
I'm going to be in Brussels and Antwerp from next week and with thousands of beers to chose from, I need an option to sample the lot. There are many places in Europe to sample wines by the glass or to do tastings. Is there such a service in Belgium? If so, can someone tell me where?
Both these sites have listing for the best beer bars in many places as well as info and decriptions
re: cteavin
Most bars in Belgium, that are not tied to one brewery, carry many beers. They do not offer paddles or small pour tastings since the preference is for bottled not tap, most will have a good selection.
re: chefj
Exactly right, most beers by far in Belgium are in the bottle, as most undergo a second fermentation in the bottle. So, you'll see draft in a few places (and Delirium has the most taps I've ever seen in Belgium (bottom floor (basement) in Delirium is bottles, ground floor is taps, and top floor is apparently non-Belgian beers). But most places serve in bottles because the of the fermentation process.
Here is a list of good beer pubs in Brussels. No idea about Antwerpen though.
Delirium Café
Impasse De La Fidélité 4 A
Brussels, 1000
Chez Moeder Lambic
Place Fontainas 8
Brussels, 1000
6 Impasse Schuddevelde
Brussels, 1000
A La Mort Subite
rue Montagne-aux-Herbes Potagères 7
B-1000 Brussels
Au Brasseur
Rue des Chapeliers 9
Brussels, 1000
Au Bon Vieux Temps
Impasse St.Nicholas 4,off Rue Marché Aux Herbes 12
Brussels, 1000
L' Ultime Atome
14 Rue St. Boniface
Brussels (Ixelles), 1050
re: cteavin
The Cantillon Brewery is also worth a visit.
Gheudestraat 56 1070 Anderlecht
re: burelo
In Antwerp you'll want to go to Kulminator
Vleminckveld 32 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
03 232 45 38
re: burelo
I most definitely second the Cantillon Brewery recommendation. You'll be able to taste the very best lambics there that are either nearly impossible to find in the US, or very very pricey, for only 3 euros per bottle.
I'm an American living in Brussels for 3.5 years now. I definitely agree with all of the Brussels recommendations listed by od_sf. Those are the places with the biggest selections, I can also add Bier Circus, near Madou metro stop. They have very helpful staff who are happy to help you pick a beer if you tell them what you fancy (bonus that they have a menu of dishes cooked with beers, if you're hungry). Delerium is best on a Sunday or weekday afternoon or evening as it tends to get very "frat-tastic" on Friday and Saturday nights and the bartenders are just too busy to give you any advice.
Most small cafes and restaurants (Ultimate Atome excepted) only offer a couple of different beers (usually Maes or Jupiler, both of which are like the Miller of Belgium, or maybe Grimbergen or Leffe, which are good, if from big brewers).
For Antwerp, I agree with Kulminator, though it was closed on a recent Saturday when friends and I took a bar trek in Antwerp. Here are some other places we visited (bonus of a jenever bar if you need a break from beer):
't Oud Arsenaal: Maria Pijpelincxstraat 4. 2000 Antwerpen.
- http://tinyurl.com/bunp7ge
Small, dark and cosy
Het pakhuis : Vlaamse Kaai 76, 2000 Antwerpen. (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&a...):
This is a brewery pub, a 30 minute walk from the center
Stamineeke : Vlasmarkt 23, Antwerp
- https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...
Stamineeke is the one true specialist beer café. It's a two-storey affair, in another 17th century house in the Antwerp style.. This bar has Westvleteren a hard to find sixth trappist beer
Not beer, but jenever (Belgian gin drink): De Vagant: Reyndersstraat 25, Antwerp
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&a...): • This is (alledgely) one of the best jenever bars in the world
De grote witte arend: Reyndersstraat 18, 2000 Antwerpen
Good atmostphere, courtyard, they have their own chapel – make of that what you will
Pater's Vaetje: Blauwmoezelstraat 1, 2000 Antwerpen.
A rather pretty drinking venue right next to the cathedral.• http://www.patersvaetje.be/bieren
Kulminator : was closed when we tried to visit on a Saturday night in June
Vleminckveld 32, 2000 Antwerpen
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&a...) :
This is the local beer institution of Antwerp and has approximately 700 beers on offer.
You can't go wrong ordering almost any beer in Belgium, they're all FANTASTIC!
Bon voyage!
Delirium Cafe is an absolute must. Their beer list is the size of a book. Cool place also.
Also, the Cantillon Brewery was kind of gross...no offense or anything, it was very interesting to see and very old (I think it's the oldest brewery in Belgium?), but the beer is too sour to enjoy. I went to De Halve Maan Brewery in Bruges and was very happy with that experience. Bruges is a short train ride from Brussels and I just did a day trip.
re: murphlaw152
To each their own. Cantillon is considered the very best example of the lambic style, and it is not uncommon for their beers to fetch insane prices in the US. It might be too sour *for you* but that would simply mean that you have not developed an appreciation for lambics and gueuze.
re: od_sf
No, that's not what it means at all. They make a point to tell people that they make their beers in a very traditional way and that it is too sour for most people. They were right. It was too sour for me. That isn't how most lambics taste, from what I've discovered. Cantillon is not the "best" example, but it is the oldest and most traditional example.
re: murphlaw152
I'm sorry but you are wrong; Cantillon IS widely regarded as the best example of the lambic style. Check for example beeradvocate.com (http://beeradvocate.com/lists/popular) - there are 6 lambics in the top100 and 4 of those 6 are from Cantillon. Being from Belgium I can also assure you that their reputation in Belgium far surpasses that of Oud Beersel, Drie Fonteinen, De Ranke, Boon, Lindemans, and Belle-Vue. Yes I'm sure that they stated it would be too sour for most people who are not used to the taste of real lambics. Most Americans, for example, think that lambics are supposed to taste like Lindemans, because they have the best distribution in the US. But Lindemans sweetens their Lambics (Cuvee Rene being the exception), effectively ruining the taste. That is not how lambics are supposed to taste. Cantillon's lambics are not more sour than any of the other quality producers such as Oud Beersel or Drie Fonteinen, by the way.
Sorry, but you not licking Cantillon's lambics does not mean that they are not the best example of the style, but rather says something about your level of expertise in the style.
re: od_sf
Also check out ratebeer.com's listing for best lambics. 8 of the top 10 are from Cantillon.
And it looks like the wine & beer expert tasting panel of the New York Times also disagrees with you, giving Cantillon the top ranking for both Gueuze and fruit lambics:

'Relay for Life' needs you
I would like to share some of my thoughts about the American Cancer Society Relay for Life that will take place again in Federal Way.
This year will be Federal Ways third annual event. This 18-hour event will be held from 6 p.m. June 1 to noon June 2 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.
This event is about being a community that takes up the fight against cancer. Being a cancer survivor myself, this event holds special meaning to me. It starts off with a survivors lap while friends, family, co-workers cheer us on. If that is not enough, at 10 p.m. the stadium lights go off until dawn and luminaries line the track (the luminaries are decorated by family and loved ones and are in memory of or in honor of their loved one). On one side of the stadium bleachers the word hope is spelled out and on the other stadium bleachers the word cure.
What is truly amazing is the number of survivors who are at Relay for Life. This year in addition to the luminaries, the committee is putting together a pictorial tribute. In order to pull this heart-touching part of the ceremony off, we need your pictures.
If you feel that you need or want to be a part of this event, please email me at: email@example.com
