My lifeDon't blink, they grow up way too fast." I would hear that from countless people: my family, my friends, even strangers in the supermarket. I would always nod and think to myself, "What are they talking about? I can't wait to sleep again for eight hours and actually sit down to eat a meal." Fast forward three years and here I am getting ready to drop my twin boys off at their preschool for the first day. I remembered the loving glances from strangers and the look in the older mothers' eyes of "how I wish my child was young again" and it really hit me.
They were right. I blinked and then I was watching my sons walk into school into the hands of someone else besides me.
My sons looked at me rather bewildered upon leaving the car for their first day, but they were calm. They gave me a kiss, left the car, took the hands of their teacher and walked into the school. I watched them go in but had to move on quickly because of the minivan brigade behind me. As I pulled out of the parking lot a flood of tears hit my eyes and thoughts of baby blankets, bouncy seats, onesies and first coos encompassed my heart.
Where did that time go?
In a loss of what to do with myself for a whole two hours I weirdly enough found myself on the path to the local grocery store. I figured it may just be easier to pick up some things without pulling children in and out and maneuvering the huge cart that seats two in a race car and barely fits down the aisle. But when I saw that blue race car cart it sent me into another bout of tears. Feeling lost, I wandered down the aisles aimlessly, like a lost dog far from home.
Right there in the frozen food section, I had an epiphany: These bundles of joy I brought into the world have profoundly and deeply made me feel complete. Every day, every millisecond, with them is a gift. I have always felt that way, but how much more I felt it today when I handed them off for someone else to teach and guide them.
I left the store with nothing that I intended to get but in control of myself. After all, it was only two hours three days a week. I went into fast forward mode and started thinking of how I would handle their getting a driver's license, high school graduation and on and on. I needed to be untangled from that downward spiral, so I phoned my mom on my way back to pick up my boys. She is recently an empty nester and had some sympathy for me, but not too much. She laughed her infectious laugh and it brought me back to the days when I would come running off the bus from first grade to see her standing at the door, ready with an enormous hug.
She said, "It's OK, really. This is a small taste of what lies ahead. Don't get too comfortable as things change all the time." I smiled, said goodbye and pulled into the parking lot to the school door. There waiting for me were my two angels. They were so excited as they shouted "Mommy!" Oh, that warmness around my heart. It was back. It is amazing how quickly I have arrived at this very moment, thankful for the ups and downs of parenthood.
After all, every ending is a new beginning.

Green Lantern (2011)
Green Lantern's light is not too bright... just bright enough.
So, I saw this over the weekend, and I'll say that I don't think it's as bad as most of the critics made it out to be... Maybe that's the reason I enjoyed the movie? All those horrible reviews got my expectations lowers... or maybe it just simply wasn't as bad as most had suggested in general. Not to say that the movie was perfect. This is no Dark Knight or Iron Man. Not even close.
Firstly, I think the casting in this film was really good. Ryan Reynolds was perfect as Hal Jordan, Mark Strong was amazing as always as Sinestro, and I didn't think Blake Lively was that bad as the love interest. Peter Sarsgaard was also great, I just thought his character Hector Hammond was a bit too weird for my tastes... but I guess that was the point?
The story was pretty much your simple superhero origin story, which is not a bad thing, considering this is Green Lantern. I can see future sequels going to the next level if this film does well in the box-office. It seemed the writers wanted to make a simple story for the first film to get the origin out of the way, so it would give them more freedom on where to take the character in other films.
the SFX were top notch. I know many people that complained about the suit being in CGI, but I thought it was an interesting idea from the beginning. It gave the suit an "aline-ish" feel to it, which is what the suit was supposed to be, right?
The movie did have it's problems though. The pacing of the film could be much better and score wasn't memorable like John Williams Superman score or badass like Hans Zimmer's The Dark Knight. It's very forgettable. I also thought the two main villains were pretty weak and not as interesting as villains like The Joker, Lex Luthor, Doc Ock, Magneto, etc.
Again, hopefully the problems in this film, will help improve the quality of the next Green Lantern film, if there is one. I hope so. Though, for Green Lantern, i'd have to admit it's only worth renting.... unless you're a crazed superhero fan such as myself!
We're rooting for you DC! It would be nice to get more DC superheroes other then Batman or Superman!
Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)
Amazing and emotional Batman film.
I thought this movie was very well done and well written. Defiantly one of the best that Bruce Timm and his team have done so far. Though, I really wish Mark Hamill would've voiced the Joker. I can totally see him owning this performance and could've topped his "Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker" if he did.
Bruce Greenwood was actually very good as Batman. I actually wasn't sure if I was going to like him, because I was re-watching the new Star Trek film recently and was wondering how he was going to pull it off. There are actually moments when he almost did sound like Kevin Conroy.
I also have to say something about Jensen Ackles. The dude is totally talented. The final moment with Batman, Joker and Jason was great and it's because all 3 actors pulled it off greatly... especially Jensen. Hopefully we'll hear him in some future animated projects in the future. He can really pull off those dramatic roles.
Superman Returns (2006)
Superman has returned!
after almost 20 years away from the big screen, the Man of Steel is back! I haven't been a huge fan of Superman (I'm a bigger Batman fan) but I have always enjoyed the Christopher Reeve's Superman films. (Well, except 4) Brandon Routh takes over as Superman and does an incredible job. He reminds me s much of Christopher Reeves but at the same time, brings something new.
The film is much darker then I was expecting. It's lighter then Batman Begins, but it's darker then Spider-Man... but even then, there are moments where the movie does get a little darker the Batman Begins... The film is very dramatic and emotional and it's not really your normal average superhero film. It's more less action and more on story.
Anyways, I enjoyed the film a lot and I really hope Bryan Singer brings in a villain who could hit Superman without using Kryptonite in the next film.
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
A movie that captures the heart of the comic
Spider-Man 2 is a great sequel to the original. When I first saw the original Spider-Man film, I didn't feel it was that great. Something was missing. Spider-Man 2 on the other hand turned out to be great. It really captured the heart of the character.. and I think Doc Ock turned out to be a much better villain then the Green Goblin.
In the movie, Peter Parker decides if he should continue to fight for good... and eventually, he throws in the towel... or in this case, his costume. I thought it was a great plot to put in the movie and it really helped make Spider-Man a more real character. A lot of people do compare the plot of the movie to Superman 2... in a way I kinda agree, but they do make enough changes to make Spider-Man 2 much better.
War of the Worlds (2005)
a good IL' alien invasion movie
War Of The Worlds is not one of Spielberg's best, but it's not his worst. Despite what some people say about the movie, it is a good sci-fi/action flick. The special effects in this movie is amazing. Some of the best since Lord Of The Rings and much more realistic then the effects in the Star Wars preqels.
Some people complain that Tom Cruise ruined the movie, but I thought he was pretty good. It really doesn't matter what people say because Tom Cruise is a good actor. I did find Dakota Fanning sometimes annoying... I just felt like throwing her out a window or something... maybe that's what Spielberg wanted, who knows? Anyways, I give this movie a 7/10.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)
From the small screen, to the big screen.
6 teenagers are chosen by Zordon and are given powers to fight the evil of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. I was only 10 years old when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first hit the air in 1993. It was my favorite show beck then... and it still is one of my favorite kid shows today. (Yes, I watch all the new seasons!) The reason I loved it was because of the cool characters, cool looking costumes and awesome looking zords. Who never wanted a Zord action-figure when they were a kid? Everyone I know had one! 2 years later, before Season 3 aired on TV, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie came out. I loved it when I was a kid and I still enjoy it today. Sure, it's no acdemy award winner... and will never be as good as other superhero movies like Batman Begins or Spider-Man 2, but Power Rangers is aimed for kids anyways.
Batman (1989)
In 1989, Tim Burton created the very first Batman movie with great stars like Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The Joker is definitely one of Hollywood's best villains on screen. Jack Nicholson was born for the role, with his psychotic and sick look. Michael Keaton is also great as Batman and is pretty good as Bruce Wayne. Kim Basinger is kind of annoying at times, but she's not the worst damsel in distress ever seen on screen.
Tim Burton has a unique way of doing Batman, and I think most people can agree that it fits the characters and the story. To bad Warner Bros. got rid of him after the 2nd film.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
The ending for a great Saga
It's been a great ride. I was only born when Return of the Jedi came out to theaters so I never got to see any of the originals in theaters... until 1997, I saw Star Wars: A New Hope when it was re-released. That's when I fell in love with Star Wars. Great characters, action, and the special effects were great for it's time.
In 1999, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace came out, the first prequel in the series. Unlike some people, I loved it! It was great to see a new Star Wars movie in theaters again... Even though Attack of the Clones wasn't as good, Revenge of the Sith brings back the magic. The drama, action, special effects, and Ewan McGregor were great... Seriously, Ewan McGregor deserves a nomination for his role as Obi-Wan.
Sure, the film has some cheesy scenes and cheesy diaolog... but every Star Wars does. Just like Lord of the Rings, it's very sad to see the saga end. Good work George. Your saga is complete.
Batman Begins (2005)
Batman Begins.... Again
After the success of Blade, X-Men and Spider-Man, the Marvel films were taking over the big screen. In 2004, Warner Bros. released the first DC Comics film, Catwoman. Well... let's just say that didn't go well.
But now DC Comics and Warner Bros. have striked back with an incredible movie: Batman Begins! This movie tells the story of how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman. When the movie starts, it is nothing like any comic book film before it. It's something completely different. The look of the film is more realistic then any other Batman movie could be... This is Batman, Unlike the other Batman movies which is just an ordinary man in a Batman costume. This movie shows why Bruce Wayne took the symbol of the bat to strike fear in criminals and the reason he does what he does.
Sure, this movie won't win any academy awards, but it does deserve nominations.
The Return of Jafar (1994)
Not Bad, Not Bad At All
This was one of the first Disney sequals... It was one that turned out pretty good, but now Disney is going overboard. The Return Of Jafar was basicly the pilot for the TV show and it started it perfectly. Everyone is back, except for Robin Williams because of some disagreement. The story it pretty good and the songs are ok.
It's great seeing Aladdin, Genie and the rest in action again, because in my opinion, Aladdin (1993), is one of the best Disney films ever to be released.
The only thing I'm mad about is all these other sequals. If Disney is going to make sequals to their films, at least TRY to make them good. The only good Disney sequals I've seen Return Of Jafar, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, and Return To Neverland.

The Youth Parliament has shown astounding growth since the time I worked with it; not only has it branched out in terms of the types of projects undertaken, but there has been a an exponential increase in the creative perspectives, innovative energies, and courageous approaches whilst remaining true to the essence with which it started up. It was a true honor for me to work with the YP foundation, and hopefully will get the opportunity to do so again in the future.
It felt great to work with brilliant and creative people, so passionate about the work they did. It felt good to be a part of change.
I started working with this organisation this year only and I have enjoyed the time spent here- and also did the most constructive thing i could ever have i.e. helping others without any ulterior motive. And this gives a wonderful sense of bing!
In my many years of experience in the development sector I have never come across an organization as good and unique as Youth Parliament. my long association with Youth Parliament I have seen them do excellent work, reaching out to the youth quite rapidly and making a difference, quite effectively. As an organization they have grown and evolved extremely well. Any professional organization would envy their learning curve. In fact, I have learnt from them probably more than they have learnt from me. The core organization values and principles have remained consistent. Their unwavering spirit and passion not only inspire the youth but equally all age groups who get attached with them. Well, what else can i say except they are awesome and they truely Rock!
yp is great for the youth potnetial development! in every which way. so its great to be a part of this foundation.
I have gained a tremendous amount of awareness about topics like HIV/Aids, human rights, sexuality and etc. I am a very reserved person, very shy to say what i feel but the YP foundation has helped me in so many ways to open up and be confident about myself.
The YP Foundation is doing really great work in providing creative platforms to the youth. The programs and activities of YP Foundation helps youth to develop their skill sets and overall personalities and become a responsible citizen.
A lot of people think of YP as an "elitist" organization. What they don't understand is that upper middle class youngsters are also major stakeholders and that they to don't have a space where they can work on issues that concern them. Some people also feel YP doesn't do "grassroots" work..; seldom do they understand what "grassroots" work even means! Rural India might have a lot of issues and problems that need to be addresses no doubt, but what happens to the people in cities who can't really go to remote villages and help out? Are their problems and concerns less important? Aren't they stakeholders as well? YP is thus an organization with a difference. It doesn't claim to go to villages and work. It admits that their target audience is the cities. It is the kids who go to good schools. Its objective is social change yes, but more importantly, its "developing potential in young people". It helps develop skills of young people to set up their own projects and run them the way they want to, following a human rights based approach.
As a volunteer the yp to me means uninhibited interactive sessions.It is the meeting of like minded people from varied fields and it gives a sense of belonging to everyone who's involved with it.the atmosphere here is always charged with excitement and if you have the passion to learn and work the yp gives an equal oppurtunity to one and all.
My experience with YP has been short,but very satisfying for the humanitarian in me.Im getting to do all the things i always wanted to do in ways i didn't imagine i could.I get to exercise my talents and skills AND give another human(who hasn't been as lucky as me in matters of the comforts in life) a reason to smile. I feel proud to be of some help.

Aoi prefers indoor hobbies and is afraid of heights, but her childhood friend Hinata loves to show off her passion for mountain climbing. As young children they once watched the sunrise from the top of a mountain, and now they've decided to take up mountain climbing in hopes of seeing that sunrise again. They have cooking battles with mountaineering gear, climb small hills in their neighborhood, and meet new mountaineering friends as they learn the ropes of the hobby. When will they finally see that sunrise again?

Beer Stream
Decorating By blackjack1 Updated 9 Jun 2013 , 9:22pm by Novel-T Cakes
I'm going to make a mug of beer for a birthday cake and was wanting to add a can of beer pouring from above. Wondering the best way to go about making the stream of beer from isomalt?
If you scroll down she tells how she did it.
"Yes, the beer can is real. I used a wood dowel, cut a notch in it so the lip of the can would stick in it, just to hold it better. Then all I did was stick it in the cake and frost it;-)" Wendoger
I melted sugar and poured it gradually along the dowel. once hardened, i pushed it into the beer can
You could also try pouring melted isomalt onto the dowel? Maybe clear isomalt and add a little orangey yellow colour to it to make it look like beer?

Alien Interview
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward

Hi Candace,
I am really sorry to inform you that "The Alien Interview" is a hoax. The guy who wrote it confessed some time ago.
Believe me, many researchers spent lots of time and money to get to the bottom, but we all agree it was hoaxed, and that it was not a 'forced' confession.
Nexus, I happen to know. I had been informed that there were two downed craft long ago, and with in one, EBE was the survivor and lived to 1951. The other craft was not made public and the person survived but a few weeks. That was completely PRIVATE information to me. I have asked a huge number of questions since I got the book to confirm quite a number of things. I just in fact spent 45 minutes of private time with one above discussing the details. the one above is my personal destiny guardian who has taken with me the long journey to Paradise and we are in very frequent contact. she is embodied in a similar but more refined form aboard a craft that I visit regularly. she came down HERE personally today to discuss the book the book with me.
In fact I would not have decided to do this, if it was deemed unwise to become involved. It was felt it was time to support the story.
There were some small modifications apparently added by the guy. but the alien and the story of the interviews is not a hoax. There have been many things debunked publicly on purpose that are not hoaxes and many hoaxes created in this business I am engaged in.
I would not take on this project without being pretty sure. You see, I have my own memories of how the creation works, I am an awfully old soul and even if this were to be made up completely, or loosely based on a story, he was given the option of presenting it as a novel and perhaps he did some of it because some of it does not match, but the information provides ME with a very important teaching tool and I am going to engage it.
I can argue that the story of acolyte, regards the alien message from another realm is baby language is a hoax, because I know it doesn't work that way.
the guy who did the book, has posted additional tags ons etc, so it doesn't seem to be a hoax, and not admitted as such on the website. The lady who did the interview with the alien was indeed a military nurse, as was the crude attempt to disable the alien. Maybe he had to call it a hoax to save his arse.
:its all good:

Apple lost another skirmish in its long legal war with Samsung. On Wednesday, a federal judge denied the Cupertino company's request to block sales of patent-infringing Samsung devices.
Federal Judge Lucy Koh, who typically presides over high-profile Silicon Valley cases, said Apple did not show it suffered "irreparable harm" from smartphones and tablets that a jury found to violate Apple patents.
"Apple has not established that it suffered significant harm in the form of either lost sales or reputational injury," Koh wrote in her decision.
It is the latest salvo stemming from a jury decision in May that awarded Apple $119 million in damages, which was far short of the $2.2 billion the company sought.
Both companies have followed up with challenges to the jury verdict. Among the infringing devices was the Galaxy Nexus, which Google and Samsung jointly produced in 2011 as the first phone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0).
There were two patents at issue in the original case: "slide to unlock," focusing on how to awaken a device, and the software keyboard's ability to autocorrect words.
Apple and Samsung have since reached a settlement of their disputes internationally, coming to a resolution in nine different countries. However, there does not appear to be any slowdown of the court battles in the United States.

The best places to look are the classified section of your local newspaper, private listing sites such as gumtree. Also have a drive around areas that you are interested in to see if there are any private boards on display. You could also check notice boards at local supermarkets and post offices.Answered on Apr 7 2011, Report content
Agree with the answers above. have a look at local newspapers as landlords can advertise privately from there. It may also be an idea to speak to your local council, as landlords sometimes approach them to let their properties.Answered on Apr 13 2011, Report content

DES MOINES --- These freshmen made new friends, endured some hazing and learned to live away from home.
And while they were at it, they raised the speed limit, put curbs on the sale of cold medicine and approved more than $5 billion in state spending.
New members of the Iowa General Assembly played big roles in big issues this year, often seeking middle-of-the-road options over partisan fights. This week, as the session winds down, they reflected on what they did and what they learned.
"We were adamant about doing something different from the past," said Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Waterloo.
The freshman class includes 13 Democrats and seven Republicans, all of whom are new to the Legislature except for Sen. Jim Hahn, R-Muscatine, who moved from the House to the Senate.
Outside the daily legislative business, freshmen from both parties made a point to get to know each other and work together, something unthinkable to members who had lived through years of mutual animosity.
The Northeast Iowa freshmen are Danielson, Rep. Bob Kressig, D-Waterloo, Rep. Dawn Pettengill, D-Mount Auburn, and Sen. Brian Schoenjahn, D-Arlington.
In the House, where Republicans hold a 51-49 edge, Kressig and Pettengill found it's difficult to get much done as a member of the minority party.
Kressig, a retired John Deere worker, focused on the areas where he could make a difference. He found some of his best work was in the small groups that review the first drafts of bills. These subcommittees helped him learn the nuts and bolts of the process.
But looking at the big picture of the House's accomplishments, Kressig is disappointed.
"It just seems to me this year that we didn't do enough for education or jobs," he said.
Veteran lawmakers helped Kressig along the way, including two other Waterloo Democrats, Rep. Don Shoultz and Sen. Bill Dotzler. "It's easy for me to go over and talk to Don, particularly about property tax issues. Don is very knowledgeable," Kressig said.
Pettengill, a corporate trainer and former mayor, realized that there were few opportunities for Democrats, much less freshman Democrats, to contribute.
Because of this, she focused on constituent services, helping people in her district who were having problems with state agencies or regulations.
"Being a voice for people who had a voice, but didn't know where to go or who to talk to, has been very rewarding," she said.
Despite Democrats' lack of influence in the House, she is proud of several bills the chamber has passed, including the limits on the sale of cold medicines that contain the drug pseudoephedrine. This bill, later signed by Gov. Tom Vilsack, is intended to limit the use of the drug in the production of methamphetamine.
In the Senate, where the parties are tied 25-25, freshmen had a chance to make an immediate contribution.
Danielson, a Cedar Falls firefighter, was the floor manager of the bill raising the speed limit on rural interstates from 65 to 70 mph, later signed by Vilsack. The bill also raised speeding fines and court fees to pay for highway patrol vehicles and court costs.
"What a lot folks won't remember years ahead is we found another $7 million for the judiciary system," Danielson said about some of the lesser-known reasons he's proud of the bill.
New senators often face hazing from their veteran colleagues. It man take the form of detailed questions when a freshman is presenting his or her first bill.
Schoenjahn, a teacher and former mayor, was ready. He was hot with questions about state rules and Senate procedure as it related to his bill. But rather than blush and say he didn't know, he had all the answers. He later revealed he had been tipped off to be ready.
Compared to his experience in city government, Schoenjahn found the Senate moves at a glacial pace.
That said, the Senate can move fast when it wants to, such as on the pseudoephedrine bill and a plan Schoenjahn co-authored to start an early childhood education initiative.
"I think this is going to go down as a landmark session. We have gotten some tremendous legislation done this year," he said.

First time mother
My son is 10 weeks old. I read baby newsletters and magazines and notice he is not doing the things a baby his age should? Has anyone else had children behind? I am a first time mother so I am unsure. I believe every child and infant develop at different rates but I would like some input.
Comment deleted
Thank you. I feel a little more encouraged and less worried. :) It is nice to be able to connect with other mothers.
I agree with Mandi too. She said it well.
Comment deleted
Thank you as well. I appreciate, both of you.
Don't worry about it at all. All kids are different. At that age, the only thing I would be worried about is that he is gaining weight.
I agree with Mandi... when they get older and are in their preschool years this might be an age to worry but until then just let them be!

text: By Sarah DiLorenzoPARIS -- Tens of thousands of supporters of leftist parties marched through central Paris on Sunday to express disappointment with President Francois Hollande's first year in power, criticizing the leader for reneging on his promises to rein in the world of finance and enact economic stimulus. Hollande, a Socialist, rose to the presidency last May, promising to spare France the austerity measures imposed elsewhere in Europe. And the French government has largely avoided the deep spending cuts, big tax hikes and the wide-ranging reforms of many of its neighbors. Instead, it has nibbled around the edges of its deficit, cutting 10 billion euros ($13 billion) in spending and increasing taxes, largely on the rich, by 20 billion euros. That's relatively little for a country with 2 trillion euro economy of which 57% is government spending. Still, France's economy has continued to deteriorate, with growth stagnating and unemployment rising above 10%. Leftists who took the streets on Sunday -- largely from parties to the left of Hollande's mainstream Socialist Party -- rejected the notion that Hollande had spared France a worse fate. "Salaries are frozen. They continue to reduce hiring in the public sector," said Brigitte Blang, a 64-year-old teacher from eastern France. "We're waiting for true leftist policies. There's money in the coffers!" Blang was among tens of thousands of people from around the country who gathered around Paris' iconic Place de la Bastille, named for the prison stormed by French revolutionaries in 1789. They carried signs that said, "Down with austerity," ''Out with finance, humans first" and "OUSTerity -- finance should pay." Paris police said 30,000 people showed up, although protest organizers said there were 180,000. After speeches, the crowd marched to another Paris square. Several protesters acknowledged that they voted for Hollande a year ago -- either simply to ensure the incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy's defeat or because they had hope for his leadership.

Alleyn's School Open Day(17 Posts)
Currently doing the rounds of State, Grammar and Private Secondary Schools and yesterday attended Alleyn's School in Dulwich. Was shocked to see such a lack of ethnic diversity amongst both pupils and prospective parents. I know this topic has been discussed here before but prior to new head been appointed. Obviously not a lot has changed. I do not buy in to the argument that parents from ethnic minorities prefer to send their children to single sex schools. I have visited plenty of co-ed private and grammar schools where the population reflects that of the city in which we live.
We went to an Open Day at Alleyn's many years ago at this point in the year. They had also had one in September which clashed with another one, so we waited for the November one. It was very evident that the great majority of people attending had children at prep schools. Our experience of September Open Days was that there were lots and lots of families from a state school background (like us). I wonder if that goes some way to explain the difference in the prospective parents - obviously not amongst the existing pupils, though. It might be worth asking how many applications they get from people from minority ethnic groups and what the percentage offer rate is for each ethnic group. That would show whether the problem is in a low application rate or a low offer rate - or for that matter, a low acceptance rate.
Alleyns is selective and expensive.
On average households from Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Black British, Black Caribbean and Black African are poorer than other households, followed by British Asian.
Maybe this affects how many families with bright children can afford a selective private school as opposed to getting a place in a grammar / super selective state school. I have just come from the Prizegiving evening at DS's state comp which is within walking distance of Alleyns and the top achieving children are completely representative of the local community - including high ratios of prize winners from those (on average) economically disadvantaged communities.
Historically, Alleyns has always been much less ethnically diverse than JAGS and the College. I have always presumed it was due to certain families preferring single sex education. Or could it be that the more generous bursary system at JAGS means that disadvantaged but bright girls are recruited?
I went to Alleyn's (left around 10 years ago) and my brother went to Dulwich so my mother knew/knows parents from both schools. It was very much the case that a fair number of Black and Asian mothers wanted single sex schooling. They would openly say that. Dulwich also had the more prestigious reputation.
Also some put high emphasis on rugby/rowing at Dulwich hoping it would lead to scholarships abroad/easy university entry/bursaries etc and Alleyns didn't do either of these sports at the time.
For what it's worth I never witnessed any racism/prejudice at Alleyns when I was there, it happened far more often (including an incident when a teacher called a Chinese pupil a "chink") at Dulwich. (As I say this was all over 10 years ago and that teacher was, eventually, fired)
And another thing to keep in mind: Dulwich are widely known to ship large numbers of bright boys from abroad in for year 10-13 on scholarships. This may lessen as they open more schools abroad.
I agree with OP. Had the same impression. Very "blonde" (and too much so for us). We are white, but still thought it very very strange indeed that there was so little representation of ethnic minorities compared to say Dulwich (so has nothing to do with poverty of those groups as per Blu's post). Or even other co-ed indies in south London (Emanuel)
Last year at an open day I actually asked a teacher about it: he had no answer and seemed surprised at the suggestion. I found that particularly strange, how can you not know (in these days of monitoring diversity) that your school is particularly un-diverse compared to its peers.
Welcome to the mysterious world of London independent school admissions, London Mother.
A swift glance at Alleyn's sports' scholarship web page is quite revealing.
An image is included of sports' scholarship hopefuls from a previous year.
I counted around ten children from ethnic minority backgrounds there.
Now look at the school's sports' pages featuring current pupils. Hardly a single person of colour in sight - except for the strap line at the top of the page, where children of various hues are shown playing musical instruments.
Can it be that all the EM children are not up to scratch on the academic tests? This is hard to believe. Charity Commission please take note!
Rather, I think it is the case that said sports' awards are often sporting in title only. Sports scholarships are largely awarded to highly academic children (great for the league tables), who, are on the whole, not truly outstanding in sport.
Look at the Power of 10 website (supported by British Athletics) a bible of rankings for young British Athletes.
In the girls' Under 15: 1500; 3000 and 800 meters, (sports traditionally dominated the private sector) all the top ranked, are children of colour. (And I know two thirds are state educated to boot!)
Apart from a couple of notable exceptions, the indy London day schools barely feature.
The achievements of our top track Olympic medalists, Ennis, Farah et al, are truly remarkable, given the advantage of time and facilities, made available to those with deep wallets at private schools.
Sadly, such progress has yet to be made in elite events, such as rowing, out of bounds to most state school children, and which does open quite a few doors to tertiary education!
Alleyn's has a reputation of being home to a rather more 'monied' set than the surrounding schools - the children we know there go to a LOT of very expensive parties with a fair bit of associated under-age drinking and sex. It tends to appeal to families with a more liberal parenting style (and lots of cash)
I was quite shocked that 2/5 of the children at an allegedly highly selective school take double rather than triple science - I can't think how the teachers can't get all their pupils through triple science with As and A*s...
Alleyn's reputation is arts and drama, which might account for the availability of double award as well as single sciences.
"I have visited plenty of co-ed private and grammar schools where the population reflects that of the city in which we live."
Really? In London?
We're further out from Alleyns, but the co-ed schools are noticably much much whiter than the single sex schools. All of the grammars are single sex. I had no doubt that Alleyns would be whiter than Dulwich.
In some respects, it all becomes very self-perpetuating. You have to really really want co-ed if you are going to send your minority child into a very homogenous yeargroup.
Ds2 is at a co-ed prep which does represent the local community at least in term of ethnicity. But all of the Asian children in his class have applied only for single-sex schools. And our local grammar schools do not represent the local community in terms of ethnicity.
My advice. Listen only to parents that have children at the school your looking at. No body else opinion matters. Go to the school and see what you think. No review or playground/coffee shop talk counts for anything.
Frankly, the opinion of anyone posting here that can't say "my kids are at the school" is almost worthless.
I don't know about Alleyns but I was quite taken aback by the monocultural kids of the two North London grammars at recent entrance tests (Henrietta Barnet and Queen Elizabeth Boys); but in the opposite ethnic direction from Alleyns.
"Private schools are not ethnically diverse nor do they represent the demographics of their area" shocker
Am surprised that anyone is surprised
Bound, In my experience in South London and Croydon, some private schools schools ARE ethnically diverse and do reflect the make up of their area.
My dd is at Alleyn's. Of the 13 girls in her class - two are black, two are from a Pakistani background, one is Chinese by background. I don't know about the boys because, despite picking a mixed school so that she would mix with boys, they are rarely talked about.
Although this is very unscientific, the children in her year 6 class from ethnic minorities who went to inde secondaries all went to single sex schools because that is what they preferred.
Hi everyone !
we are very interested in Alleyn's for secondary school for our eldest boy. we are a minority, albeit white, but non English mother tongue. But, over two years on I was wondering whether the situation had changed at all.
We love co-ed but fel also strongly about mixed background/diversity.

An Introduction to Nicolai Hartmann's Critical Ontology
- First Online:

- Citations

Nicolai Hartmann contributed significantly to the revitalization of the discipline of ontology in the early twentieth century. Developing a systematic, post-Kantian critical ontology 'this side' of idealism and realism, he subverted the widespread impression that philosophy must either exhaust itself in foundationalist epistemology or engage in system-building metaphysical excess. This essay provides an introduction to Hartmann's approach in light of the recent translation of his early essay 'How is Critical Ontology Possible?' (1923) In it Hartmann criticizes both the pretensions of epistemology as well as the principal errors of classical ontology, and he proposes a series of correctives that lead to his development of a highly original and elaborate stratified categorial ontology. This introduction explains the most important errors of the 'old' ontology, his correctives to them, and further fleshes out these correctives with reference to his mature ontological work.

Traffic stop ends in arrest on drug charges
November 18, 2013
Some erratic driving — and the reek of air freshener coming from the vehicle after a traffic stop — reportedly led to the arrest of two Nevada men on drug charges Friday.
A Nevada County Sheriff's deputy observed the vehicle driving southbound on Highway 49 at about 4:40 p.m. and noticed it had no front plate, said Capt. Jeff Pettitt.
As the deputy began to follow the vehicle, he reportedly saw it jerk several times to the right side of the road across the white line.
He initiated a traffic stop and approached the passenger side of the vehicle, but the passenger reportedly would only roll the window down slightly.
After the deputy asked him to roll the window down further, he noted an "overwhelming smell of air freshener," Pettitt said.
The deputy's suspicions reportedly were also piqued by the fact that the passenger was refusing to make eye contact, even during a search of the vehicle.
He then searched the man, identified as Rafael Espinoza, and felt a baggie in his pocket that the suspect tried to grab away from him, Pettitt said.
The deputy reportedly was able to retrieve the bag and found about 9 grams of suspected ecstasy and 3.59 grams of suspected cocaine. The driver of the vehicle, James Barker Brock, reportedly admitted that he gave the drugs to Espinoza to hold for him.
Espinoza, 20, of Gardnerville, Nev., and Brock, 19, of Carson City, were both booked into county jail on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, transportation and transportation for sale of a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy and were released on $35,000 bail.

Partnerships at different ends of the manufacturing chain are being formed to ensure quality reprocessed shards and fragments are employed. Lower outlay and sustainability are end results.
A few years ago, China suppliers incorporated recycled materials only to cut costs incurred when manufacturing low-end products. Some unscrupulous factories that offered really inexpensive goods even did so on the sly. Fast forward to today and there no longer is any shame in reusing waste material, as long as quality is not compromised. Not only does the practice reduce expenses, it also helps promote ecologically safe production.
Large companies are cooperating with plastic-injection factories, some of which have partnerships with professional recycling businesses that collect, select and process scraps for reuse. But suppliers do not just use all types of waste material. Many procure plastic, steel, aluminum and paper fragments from Japan, South Korea, the US and Russia as these contain fewer impurities than those available from small local processors. By adopting the imported versions, enterprises are able to save time spent in selecting scraps suitable for recycling and ensure stable quality.
While manufacturers may have varying procedures for securing waste material, it is generally the bigger suppliers that have such arrangements in place. Due to financial limitations, most small and midsize operations do not have access to the proper channels for quality recycling. For instance, advanced technology is required to ensure the stable performance of plastic, steel and aluminum scraps. The China Industrial Association of Power Sources said recently that only the major players in the lead-acid battery industry are able to secure approval from their local Industry and Commerce Bureau and Environmental Protection Agency to set up a recycling system.
There are SMEs that are reusing commodities for their finished products. But such makers are likely to be using inferior waste material and, consequently, releasing low-quality models.
Plastic is one of the most commonly recycled materials regardless of the industry. PET bottles, for instance, can be reprocessed into plastic and fiber. Now, recycled plastic is being used for shower head, induction cooker, vacuum cleaner and hair dryer housings, slippers, lanyard hooks and lampshades. But while the practice helps reduce companies' carbon footprint, not all recycled plastic is the same.
For instance, PET is said to withstand countless reprocessing cycles. While this may be true, the performance becomes more and more compromised each time the resulting material is recycled. Highly processed plastic cannot be made transparent, has diminished luster, does not have evenly distributed thread, and may melt and drip during the firing process. Moreover, reusing plastic from finished goods that are not exposed to time and the elements perform better. Color intensity, product rigidity and malodor can be improved by employing the right proportion of additives during reprocessing.
Recycled plastic generally costs one-third less than its virgin counterpart. As of June 22, different types of virgin PP were at $1,448 to $1,794 per ton. Draw-benched transparent crushed PP is $1,397 to $1,470 per ton, while white-colored versions crushed with lithopone is $1,102 to $1,176. Crushed PP mottle, which can only be used for plastic injection and not draw benching, is $661 to $705.
Steel is also one of the most widely reprocessed materials as it can be used in a range of products. Scraps are easier to collect as well. As a result, recycled steel now contributes 8 percent to total global output of the metal. It already accounts for 50 and 40 percent of yield in the US and Japan alone.
In China, the use of recycled steel is gaining ground due partially to increasing iron ore costs. Data from My Steel indicated 63-grade iron ore stood at $177 per ton, including shipping, on April 30. This was $19 more than what it cost the previous month. Quotes have been falling in recent weeks, however, with 63-grade powdered iron ore from India down to between $150 and $152 per ton on July 5.
More than two-thirds of iron ore supply in the country is purchased overseas. In fact, imports were raised 42 percent in 2009 to meet the peak requirement of 628 million tons. Reprocessing a ton of steel, meanwhile, can produce 0.8 ton of recycled steel, saving 2 or 3 tons of iron ore in the process.
Additionally, incorporating recycled steel does not affect the performance of finished products. Metal furniture maker Ator Furniture Co. Ltd said its dining tables and chairs made with recycled steel meet requirements for daily normal use. Painting or chrome electroplating also makes them indistinguishable from models that employ virgin steel.
The cost to produce recycled aluminum is roughly 50 percent lower than that of processing the virgin metal. To yield a ton of aluminum, for instance, requires 6.1 tons of coal and 15,000kwh of electricity for electrolysis. In contrast, less than one-third of a ton of coal and 20kwh of electricity are needed for the same amount of recycled metal. Moreover, reprocessing aluminum saves 10.5 tons of water and 11 tons of solid material. Recycling just 1kg of the metal can even reduce as much as 11kg in carbon dioxide emissions.
Shanghai prices as of June 24 pegged aluminum waste, which contains 99.7 percent of the element, at $1,899 per ton while the 1,000x2,000x5mm board made from the virgin metal is at $2,161 per ton.
The low costs associated with producing and purchasing recycled aluminum has encouraged several businesses from different ends of the manufacturing chain to form partnerships with each other. An aluminum ingot manufacturer in Guangdong province's city of Foshan is now cooperating with more than 10 local extruders. The ingot factory purchases scraps from the latter to produce aluminum sticks, which are then sold back to the extruders. The recycling output now stands at 1,500 tons monthly.
Makers from the aluminum panel industry, however, are not so quick to adopt the reprocessed metal. Although they believe recycled aluminum will eventually dominate exports, many are still looking for suppliers that can ensure stable quality for the scraps and reprocessed metal.
This is because some types of recycled aluminum contain greater levels of impurity, and are made with a higher percentage of other forms of metal such as iron and lead. Such versions are less stable and are prone to breakage and losing their shape during processing.
At least 90 percent of glass dinnerware in China is now made with a percentage of recycled material. Shanghai Wutian Industries Co. Ltd mixes glass shards with quartz sand and sodium carbonate to make melting easier for blowing. In fact, incorporating 10 percent glass chips into the mix can generate 3 percent electricity savings because the melting process is faster. Further, using a ton of recycled glass can save 1.2 tons of raw materials, including quartz sand and sodium carbonate.
Xi'an Yongxing Glassware Fty, however, said glass cannot be made solely from reused shards. The greater the percentage of chips, the higher the probability that the finished product will have a greener tint and air bubbles. Frosted glass cannot be recycled as well as it contains ammonium hydrogen fluoride.
Many companies in the packaging and stationery industries are now adopting recycled paper as doing so helps save 5 to 10 percent in purchasing costs per ton. Reprocessing paper reduces the time, water and electricity spent on braising, steaming and washing. A ton of the salvaged material can produce 800kg of recycled paper and saves 1.2 tons of coal, 600kwh of electricity, 50 percent in water use and roughly 17 trees.
Some of the products that are now made with the material include corrugated, wrapping and writing paper, packaging boxes, and notebooks.
Recycled paper, however, does not have the same luster, smoothness, water resistance and whiteness of versions made solely from wood pulp. To address these disadvantages, additives have to be incorporated at different processing stages. This only enhances the whiteness and luster of the paper, however, and does nothing to improve smoothness and water resistance.

King Nectanebo was the last native king of Egypt and whose body was interred in a sarcophagus at the site of Attarine Mosque in Alexandria. His sarcophagus was discovered by the French during the Napoleonic occupation of Egypt and mistakenly believed to belong to Alexander the Great until archaeologists in Great Britain realized their error.
On December 2, 1933, an unknown archaeologist acting on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution noted the mistake in a journal while traveling through Alexandria in search of Alexander's armor.

Popularity a perk of child altruismBridie Smith
Published: December 28 2012 - 3:00AM
CHILDREN who perform kind acts are not only happier but also enjoy greater popularity in their peer groups.
A study of more than 400 Vancouver students aged nine to 11 split the children into two random groups. One group was asked to visit three favourite places each week for a month while the other group was asked to perform three kind gestures a week over the same period. They included sharing their lunch or carrying shopping.
Among the places the children chose to visit were the shopping centre and their grandparents' house.
Published in the journal PLOS ONE this week, the results showed that after a month of monitoring, the children who performed kind gestures were far happier than their counterparts. While both groups had an increased sense of wellbeing after completing their tasks, only the group that performed kind acts experienced greater acceptance by their peers.
This was measured by student surveys, which asked the children to nominate which of their classmates they would like to do a school activity with. The peer nomination showed the students who performed kind acts gained an average of 1.5 friends.
The results from University of British Columbia and University of California researchers back up earlier studies and have implications for teachers.
Lead author Kristin Layous from the University of California's department of psychology said educators would do well to introduce classroom activities that promote and provide the opportunity for students to help each other.
"The findings suggest that a simple and relatively brief pro-social activity can increase liking among classmates,'' she said. ''Given the relationship between peer acceptance and many social and academic outcomes, we think these findings have important implications for the classroom."
Promoting kindness could increase connectedness and thus reduce bullying.
