Arkansas Governor's School
Testimony of parent whose son committed suicide after attending AGS.
Given before Joint Interim Education Committee
(One of four known former AGS students who committed suicide)
My name is Shelvie Cole. I have much to say, and I will talk as quickly as I can. I think once I get started you will understand why I have a lot to say. The first thing I would like to say is I am not a religious zealot. I do not belong to the religious right, and I am not conservative in my beliefs. The reason I am saying this is because anytime anyone seems to have a negative comment toward the Governor's School, they are automatically categorized into one of those groups, somehow negating their comments.
I am speaking to you today as a professional and as parent. As a professional, I am a trained school psychologist. I have worked over twenty years in the field of education and mental health. As a parent, my youngest son, Brandon, attended Governor's School in the summer of 1990. In September of 1991 Brandon committed suicide. I find it very significant that it was three years ago today that Brandon committed suicide.
I had no idea the impact that Governor's School had on Brandon until I read his log after his death. I knew that he had begun to change; but then when I began reading his log, I understood some of the things that had gone on within Brandon that were the result of some of his experiences at Governor's School. I am not going to be \giving you a second hand information today. I am going to let Brandon talk for himself because I am going to read directly from his diary that he kept while he was in Governor's School.
One of my concerns about Governor's School is the way it is set up. I understood or I thought when Brandon attended - he was a very talented student - A/B student, well grounded, played on the tennis team, president of his computer club. He did not have emotional problems. He was the ideal son. By the way, my oldest son, Hank, is here with me for moral support.
When he was selected as a musical student, I understood or thought he would go and spend the majority of his time studying music, being exposed to composers, having experiences with other outstanding music instructors, and spending a lot of time with students who had similar likes. Some of that did occur.
During the six weeks of Governor's School the students are really encouraged to disassociate themselves from the outside world. That in itself has its effect on students. A friend of mine who was in the Marine Corps said that it reminded him of boot camp when they separate young men from their parents and their friends so that they can get them thinking in a military way.
Brandon's words: "We truly have been plucked out of our world. We live in the Governor's School world. I saw a newspaper the other day and realized how no outside events were talked about here. I don't think I will be able to leave after this is over. Let me warn you I am changing inside. I hope you will still like me as I am, but I am learning a new outlook on life and reality. Everyday activities are so trivial now to us here. I feel sorry for people who aren't here. The outside world is so blind toward world events."
A letter to a friend said, "I think I saw your grandparents at the Human Development Centers Fireworks Show. We actually got to go out in public and go over there. Missy, [who is his friend] and I saw a friend there and stopped to talk to her. Someone from Governor's School saw us and told us, 'you are not to socialize with anyone while you're here.' Can you believe that?"
His final entry in the log says, Governor's School helped me to separate myself from most of the people around me. This absence of being who I was known for gave me a chance to look inside of my real self. After I came back from the break, my friends and I could tell that we had suddenly been transformed into free thinkers. I was no longer worried about who was having the next party or who was going out with whom. I feel like I've awakened from a fourteen year sleep."
These are my words: There's a false sense of security in Brandon's statement because when he completed Governor's School he doubted friendships and support he had had most of his life. And he questioned values and relationships that in the past had been extremely important to him. But most of all he began to question himself. He was told so many times at Governor's School that he was going to change during his time spent thee that he felt that if he didn't change he would fail to be a part of what was expected of participants.
After these students have severed the links with their lifetime friends and family, they are sent back i8nto the real world with no follow up and means of support to help them as they continue their quest to discover who they are after this change.
Even though the Governor's School is under the umbrella of the Department of Education, no one in the department seems to be responsible for overseeing the curriculum of seems to have any say as to what materials are used while they are there.
Bruce Haggard, a biology professor at Hendrix College, is the director of Governor's School. When my husband and I discussed our concerns two years ago, we questioned why it is necessary to have articles included in the students' text, The Tree Book like the one on "The Morality of Homosexuality". Dr. Haggard acted as if he was unaware of such an article, but we found out later that the article has been and continues to be a part of the curriculum.
Then there's Areas II and III , and I think that's what you are going to hear today, what most of the parents are concerned about.
This is how Brandon described the Governor's School experience. He said, "We have Area I class twice a day. This class is for what you were accepted in. Then everyone has Area II and III. Area II is where they try to get you to state something you believe in and then they rip you apart until you don't agree with yourself anymore.
"Then everyone has Area III. Here everyone cries and tells sad stories about themselves. Here everything you deal with is so deep. They encourage us to open up and say anything. In Area III one girl stood up and told the instructor to f--- off. The instructor just smiled and said, ' Why do you feel that way?' Can you believe that?"
Another letter he wrote said that, "We have Area II class where the object is to state something you believe in, and they reverse the way we feel totally. In Area III everyone listens to your problems; we've realized that life is not real, life is just a dream. Things like chairs and tables, numbers, trees, World War II, etc., die not or do not exist. Here they want you to relax and question the meaning of life."
He wrote this letter to a friend while in Governor's School. He said, "Robin, (who was his best friend since first grade) came and visited me on visitor's day last week. It was good to see her but everything she talked about was so trivial. We learn her things like the fact that we may not really be here. Do we have a soul? Do we create reality or does reality create us? Governor's School has really changed me."
"Area II is where you argue whether or not you are really here, why we're here and things like that. Then in Area II and III, we find out who we really are inside. Everyone cries and spills their guts to our group."
This is me talking. These classes are being taught like philosophy classes and psychotherapy groups. In my opinion the staff members who lead these discussions are not qualified to deal with such issues. If they were employed by our public school, they would not be allowed to conduct classes such as these because they lack the appropriate training to do so.
For instance, I met with Area II and Area III faculty a summer ago to discuss suicidal tendencies of Gifted and Talented students. The faculty was made up of two college level language teachers, an assistant junior high principal, a freelance songwriter, and English teacher, and a Presbyterian minister and a high school Gifted and Talented teacher. If we are going to continue to have these types of discussions as part of the curriculum, I feel the least that we can assure parents is that those who would lead the discussions would have the credentials to indicate that they have the training and the expertise to do so. The same credentials and requirements that we adhere to in the public schools should be the same standards at Governor's School.
If Governor's School continues, which I hope it does, and if it continues to be supported by taxpayers' dollars, then every taxpayer in the state should feel reassured that if their child attends Governor's School they have the same safeguards regarding curriculum and credentials of the faculty as they would in the public school district. If this is not the case, then Governor's School should receive its funding from another source and not be under the umbrella of the Department of Education.
I would like to close by reading you the first entry into Brandon's log, and then I will read one that was written three weeks later. This is the first one: "Moms are the best people around, and my mom is the best mom on earth. As a child she cuddled me and showed me the way like a guardian angel watching my moves, supporting me through times of confusion and lifting me off the floor of desperation. My mom is great!"
Three weeks later, three weeks later this is what Brandon wrote, "My mom is so closed minded I feel like we will have a standoff soon over issues. She doesn't see people for who they are, only for the way they act."
I had to ask myself what could happen during a young person's life during three short weeks to make such a drastic change in his attitude toward a parent, and I think it is a question you need to ask yourselves today. Thank you.
[This parent stated in another interview on video that she had not even seen her son during those three weeks.]
End of Testimony
"Winding my way through time and space, my senses are tantalized by a place of both intellectual stimulation and constant fun. I shudder in disbelief, but immediately realize the implications of being able to take part in this blissful experience. Namely, in one month, I must leave this place forever and go back to the monotony of everyday life... Of what am I speaking? Surprised that not all know of this utopia, I pause before giving my answer. "The Governor's School for Prospective Teachers," I answer in a daze..." So, when I say classes, I don't mean how to diagram a sentence. Let's pretend that truth does not exist beyond being a meaningless word which humans use to express themselves. Some agree with this statement, others disagree completely, and still another group believes that there is a middle ground to be found in this disscusion. Where do you stand? Would you like to find out? If so, or even if you don't think you'd care, you will almost definitely find yourself enjoying the class by Dr. Whitaker over that "stupid" book you have to read on your summer vacation called Ishmael.What's Ishmael about? From Amazon.com:
Over several days, the ape, Ishmael, as gruff as his Greek model, drags the man into a new understanding of humanity's place in the world. In a nutshell, Ishmael argues that humanity has evolved two ways of living: There are the ``Leavers,'' or hunter-gatherers (e.g., Bushmen), who live in harmony with the rest of life; and there are the ``Takers'' (our civilization), who arose with the agricultural revolution, aim to conquer the rest of life, and are destroying it in the process.
Knock me over with a feather.
Student #2: "The sessions are wonderful.We discussed everything from educational government funding to adjusting to your multi-cultural classroom."
Student #3: :"From our psychotherapy session on the second night to limboing to "Shake Senora" on the third story balcony to starting a waterfight by drenching Nathan, I can honestly say this has been the best experience of my life... The faculty and staff here have been my parents away from home. I loved our heated discussions so much...I wish to personally thank each and every one of you. Advice to future GSPT students: don't listen to everyone else; Ishmael and Savage Inequalities are actually very fine books...please read them! (Especially if you don't want to face the wrath of Dr. Dan!)
Student #4: "We learned so many things, not so much about teaching, although we learned alot about that too, as about life in general."
Student #5: "This month, however, was not like regular school (Bleech!). We explored just about every facet of the educational field. Our minds are chock full of the words learning styles (Are you concrete sequential?), concept attainment, and closure."
Brainwash me, please!
(ONE STAR) Great Book for self-loathing Caucasians, August 6, 2002
Reviewer: cpccpc from Fair Haven, NJ United States Do you believe Western Civilization is the root of all evil? Do you believe Human beings are nothing but a virus on the face of Mother Earth? Do you hate Caucasians or wish you weren't one? Do you believe that the world would be a better place without people? Then this book is for you!
Bill Clinton is influenced by the EVIL Hillary because he is a woman chasing COWARD who wouldn't stand up to the WANT TO BE DICTATOR!!! PLEASE DON'T EVER GIVE HER THE CHANCE TO ACHIEVE HER ULTIMATE GOAL!!!
My first question is: Were prayers allowed?
Child, child, people are the way they act, not the way they intend or think. But of course once you've been programmed to see everything as relative and forbidden to judge anything or anyone etc. People like the Clintons require that mindset in their followers - otherwise they would have been busted years ago.
How many times have you heard Rush say, "liberals judge people by their beliefs, not by what they do"? I didn't appreciate how right he was. To be "virtuous" in their world you have to hold the correct PC dogmas. Then it's OK to get high and screw around. No heavy lifting. It's a good deal if you're shallow, lazy and conscienceless.
Where are you? We've got questions.
You might want to ask him about it.
The following poem was written by a AGS student, but not one of those who committed suicide.
You brought us here to teach us, You said you could enrich our minds.
We came because we felt so honored, You picked us for our talent.
We came to class most faithfully, to learn and experience your vast wisdom.
We took down notes on what you said, and our minds absorbed all we could be,
But then we saw what we had gathered, and wondered how that this could be,
for established facts were proven wrong, and nothing twice was ever the same.
We went to class and were asked to stand, for our chairs, you said, did not exist.
You also said, "Stop your breathing, and prove to us you are not dead."
We went to class and stood in place, you asked us why we should be happy.
You said common sense showed we should be crying,
and our facade of happiness was only a weakness.
We went to public showings of things, that would be better off staying in private.
Death Jihads and single murders, discussion of these was heartily endorsed.
We went to lectures where we were told, there was no God and all was right.
Whatever you wanted, it was good, be it death jihads or single murder.
We also were told about our rights, and how we should defend them.
Allow the white robed and hooded figures to march,
while others denied these rights, cringe in fear.
We were told this and so much more, and many of us believed you.
And those of us who disagreed, unto us was rendered scorn and shame.
You brought us here to lie to us, You thought that you could crush our minds.
We came because we were so blind, So trusting and so naive.
But now you see, I have won, I've beaten you at your own game.
I know the gun I hold at my head is real, and I have the strength to put it down.
Those who will not allow themselves to be transformed, will be destroyed rather than risk that child will become a leader for the opposition
This is why I homeschool. I will shield my kids from the mental manipulators until I judge they are strong enough to recognise when someone is attempting mind-control techniques on them, and deal with the attempted controller appropriately
Here's the Virginia site. It's run by the Virginia Department of Education.
On one of my previous posts a parent mentions that the seed money (three years) for these programs came from the Carnegie Foundation. This makes sense because the testimonials here ranging from 1983-1996 describe a similar format ("no absolutes," "we are the elite," "no one will understand this," PC curriculum). It seems that the Department of Ed takes over the operation after the seed money runs out.
So how are these schools funded today? Do they have a line item in the education budget? When were they first authorized? Was legislation put forward in various states in the same year? I'd like to know.
The number two reason why we homeschool. #1 is to learn the faith.
If parents knew what the educrats have in mind for their children many more people would be homeschooling. My kids will only enter a government school over my dead body.
Well, I don't know of anyone trying to pray out loud during one of the class periods... certainly it wasn't openly prohibited, and it probably would have been allowed if it wasn't disruptive, but anyone doing it probably would have been subject to ridicule from classmates. We did do 'meditation' in Area III once.
However, let me blow your mind by mentioning that in Area II, our class was at one point instructed to repeatedly chant the word 'F**k'.

Preventing Spams and Relays
The mail proxy reads its configuration from a file (smtpd_check_rules) in the /etc directory, in our example, /home/smtpd/etc/smtpd_check_rules. Each line in the file beginning with a # is a comment. Blank lines are allowed. Rules have the following format (one line):
[allow|deny|noto]:SourceList:FromList:ToList[:XXX message]
where XXX is the error message number. The first rule that matches will be taken and the check ended, so placement of rules should be done carefully.
The first field states the action to either allow an SMTP connection, deny the SMTP connection and close the session or noto which will return an error for the matching rule but will still continue for the session.
The second field is a list of IP addresses and/or host names to match the source SMTP connection. IP addresses may be specified with a netmask to include a whole network. The format of this is XX.XX.XX.XX/bits where bits is the netmask bits for the network. For instance, a network 192.168.0.0 with netmask 255.255.255.0 would be written as 192.168.0.0/24. A few special reserved identifiers that can be used are:
ALL: any IP address and host name
KNOWN: only IP and host names which are DNS resolvable
UNKNOWN: IP and host names which are not DNS resolvable
EXCEPT: exceptions
*: wild-card character
The third and fourth fields are used to match e-mail addresses and have the format user@host. The special word ALL can also be used in these fields.
The fifth field is optional and is used to return error messages from deny and noto to the SMTP client. The following special variables can be used to return information in the error messages:
%F: mail from address
%T: recipient address
%H: connecting host name
%I: connecting IP address
%U: user from the host
All three fields (SourceList, FromList and ToList) must be matched in order for action to be taken.
Listing 1 is an example of a set of rules that assumes the internal network is 10.0.0.0 and a mail hub is at 10.0.0.9. Note that noto_delay will pause for a certain amount of seconds before action is taken. This option was introduced to delay relayers and spammers and the parameters that control this timeout are set in the Makefile:
A few other configurations can be done that I have not shown here, namely the NS= pattern-check and the use of the IDENT protocol for identifying users. Users who need a more detailed setup of this file should read the file smtpd_address_check.txt in the source directory. Examples for filtering spams and relays can be downloaded from Obtuse's FTP site.
After creating the configuration file, the running mail daemon must be stopped and replaced with smtpd/smtpfwdd. For Sendmail, this can be done by typing:
> ps ax | grep sendmail 24569 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 > kill 24569
This will effectively shutdown the mail daemon. Now, check for queued mail that the daemon has not yet sent out by issuing the command:
/usr/lib/sendmail -bpIf the mail queue is not empty, flush the queue by typing:
/usr/lib/sendmail -qIf mail is still in the queue after awhile, this command can be resent at a later time so the installation of smtpd/smtpfwdd can continue. No new mail will be accepted while the mail daemon is down.
Start the smtpd daemon by issuing the command:
/usr/local/sbin/smtpd -c /home/smtpd -d /spool\ -u daemon -g daemon -D -L
The smtpd daemon will start accepting mail and spool it to the /home/smtpd/spool directory. The parameters on the command line are defined as follows:
-c /home/smtpd: the smtpd home directory
-d /spool: the directory where spooled mail should be stored
-u daemon -g daemon: user/group smtpd
-D: instruction to run as daemon and listen on the SMTP port
-L: instruction to suppress children in daemon mode from making an openlog call
/usr/local/sbin/smtpfwdd -d /home/smtpd/spool -u\ daemon -g daemonOnce it begins running, smtpfwdd will check the spool directory /home/smtpd/spool and starts processing the spooled mail by running the MTA, in this case Sendmail.
A good idea is to run the MTA in such a way that it periodically processes its mail queue and sends out any mail present. Note that we actually have two spool directories here: one used by smtpd and the other by sendmail (usually in /var/spool/mqueue). To run sendmail in non-daemon mode in order to process the queue every 15 minutes, type:
/usr/lib/sendmail -q15m
Once everything is running fine, edit your startup files to run smtpd/smtpfwdd by default instead of sendmail.

Well, if a cigarette smoker presented an imminent threat of death, most state self defense laws would support using lethal force to stop him. Would you feel justified in shooting a cigarette smoker?
I'd rather dump a large bucket of ice cold water over their selfish head. The added benefit would be that it would put out the cigarette that is closing down my breathing.

I have an external device that wants to connect with the software via a Com Port. On the back of the laptop there isn't a com port (9 or 25 pin connector), yet the internal modem uses a com port, right? I would think there is an easy way to get to a com port, but I can't find any references to it in the documentation.
It's very hard to try and help you connect to the COM port when we do not even know what computer you have. Would you care to share that information with us?
Forum Member since 2000
Please share your experience with the forum.
Com ports are virtual ports... that's why your internal modem is using a Com port and is not connected to a SERIAL! port... you must be looking for a Serial port (9pin or 25pin) that uses Com addressing.
if you have USB, you can get a USB to Serial adapter.

Johnson & Johnson Issues Giant Recall In North Carolina
On Friday, January 15, 2010, Johnson & Johnson, the multi-national conglomerate, issued a huge recall of several of its most popular over the counter medications, including Tylenol, Motrin and St. Joseph's Aspirin. The popular products have a strange moldy smell and have caused more than 75 people to become ill after taking the medicines. The symptoms range from nausea and vomiting to severe abdominal pain. Several people have sought medical attention after getting sick.
Johnson & Johnson apparently knew of the suspect drugs several months ago, but failed to promptly and thoroughly investigate the complaints. The moldy smell allegedly originates with a chemical used in treating the wooden pallets on which the products are shipped. Johnson & Johnson has not publicly disclosed the name of the chemical.
The Food and Drug Administration is also lobbing accusations that Johnson & Johnson should have notified them as soon as they suspected a problem. In a prior post about another drug making giant, Eli Lily, I explained how the FDA obtained billions as a result of the drug maker's violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Similar allegations by the FDA are considered likely in this case as a result of Johnson & Johnson's reckless disregard for the public's safety.

FeaturesFast and stable:
- SmartCJ is really fast, it handles millions of hits. For example, yourfilehost.com get's about 10 000 000 hits a day, pornhub.com - 4 000 000.
- All the information about your trades is stored in a bulletproof MySQL database. We don't want to reinvent a wheel and use proved solutions.
- We already released more then 40 update and we constantly add more features by your requests. New update is released once a month on average. Get your ideas realized !
Multiadmin for trade networks :
- You can get stats and manage trades for all your sites running SmartCJ from one place.
Custom admin area layouts and Custom Field :
- SmartCJ offers more then 60 types of stats and you can easily setup what types you want to see. In addition you can save your layouts as presets and switch between them 'on-the-fly'. You can also create custom field with custom data.
Trade Formula:
- Customize Trade Formula or even write your own. Or try from list of formulas offered by other users.
Sending/Counting hits:
- By default Smart CJ sends unique hits out (the script will never send the same surfer to the sites that he has already been to) and trades according to productivity; return ratios are adjusted automatically. The script works perfectly in auto mode, however you can customize every single aspect about how the script sends / counts the hits: you can specify (for all trades or just for a certain site) whether to send raw or unique hits / trade by productivity or by flat ratio.
- There's a helpful option of ratio limiting. Eg. if you set ratio limit to 180% the script will return hits by productivity but the sites with extremely productive traffic (over 180%) will be returned as if their traffic was productive by exactly 180%.
- You can use permanent links (all hits from such links will be sent to a specified trade only) and group links (all hits will be sent to a certain group of trades) to target your traffic better.
- Smart CJ has advanced force options. Besides the usual hourly force there is timed force feature. You can tell the script to send a certain amount of traffic to a trade at a specific time. With this feature you will be able to reach top positions in toplists easily by sending hits exactly at the time of toplist's reset. Moreover the script can stop forcing hits in case the trade doesn't return a minimum amount of traffic within a set peroid of time. (You can setup the required minimum of returns as a specific % from what is being sent).
Real content support:
- Skimming (sending hits to galleries): You can setup a specific link to send surfers to a gallery say 60% of the time and to a trade 40% of the time. This feature can greatly improve your site's productivity.
- "First click" skimming: You can setup a link to send surfer to a gallery with 100% chance if it is his first click on your site.
Top refferers list:
- Create a toplist with your best trades and send traffic to them with or without tracking the amount of sent hits.
- Unlimited amount of toplists
- You can yourself customize the way top referrers list will look.
- By default our toplist ranking engine relies not only on the number of hits in, but also on productivity and many other parameters (you can select sort type)
Advanced page loading:
- You can create multiple main page layouts for you site. So whenever a surfer visits your site for the second time he will be shown a different version of your main page. This will increase your site's overall productivity.
- Smart CJ can show the surfer different main pages depending on where (from what trade / url) he came from. If you wish, for security reasons no trade will be able to link to your say console-free mainpage unless you edit that site's options in the "edit trade" menu.
- SmartCJ keeps the complete trade history and all the stats are as detailed as possible.
- Referrer stats. To make more sales you should know the origin of your traffic. You can view referrers for each trade separately or total referrers for your site.
- All recently added trades are marked as "NEW" for your convenience. Domains added within last day are shown in red color, domains added within last week are displayed in green.
- Add new trades via admin panel with one click. You can leave your own notes about each tade in the "edit trade" (or "add trade") dialogue.
Cheat protection:
- Besides the usual anticheat methods Smart CJ utilizes intricate cheat protection engine to detect even the most advanced cheat methods. We have spent weeks tweaking our intellectual cheater recognition system so you can rest assured that you never lose your traffic. The system analyzes the behaviour of visitors and easily tells whether the clicks have been made by a human being or by a hitbot. With this feature you will never lose your traffic to cheaters even if you are out of business for a few days.
- You can setup Smart CJ to disable trades that are sending you highly unproductive traffic.
Auto sign up form:
- The Auto Signup form can be customized whether to accept new sites immediately or to start sending hits to them only after several amount of hits.
- Webmasters also can see their stats or contact you w\o exploding your real email address.
Trade tracking:
- Smart CJ can be setup to regularly scan your trades' mainpages for banned (illegal) keywords.
And Much More:
This is not a complete feature list. We have lots of useful features and you are welcome with new ideas.
System requirements:
- Any host that supports PHP and MySQL, SSH and FTP access.
- We will install the script for FREE.
The way Trade should be !
"not sure what we've paid for this SCJ script but it's worth the money twofold"
"Great support! i like to work with you, it makes my life much easier :)"
Now you can get it for FREE !

Poll: Republican close in New Jersey Senate race
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A new poll shows a little-known Republican is closer than expected early in his run for U.S. Senate in New Jersey against incumbent Democrat Cory Booker.
A Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday shows Booker ahead of Jeff Bell 47 to 37 percent.
That result comes even though a big majority of voters, including Republicans, don't know enough about Bell to have an opinion.
Poll assistant director Maurice Carroll says he suspects New Jersey voters are wary of Booker because they don't have great feelings about Newark, where he was previously mayor.
Bell himself said earlier this week that he believes he was doing similarly well in earlier polls because New Jersey's electorate is upset with President Barack Obama.

How did you react to the revelations which emerged from the 2011 census for England and Wales? Did you measure it against your own life, daily experiences and immediate family? Did you recognise a country which is less white, less Christian, less married than a decade ago – to the alarm of some cultural conservatives and the delight of the multicultural crowd?
I think it's fair to say the above trends have been gathering pace for most of the decades since the second world war and that what is different is the scale of the momentum in the past decade, chiefly – but far from exclusively – driven by the huge influx of arrivals from new EU member states which the Labour government allowed after 2004.
As with most things in life there's an upside and a downside to all that and which side we take is coloured by our own experience. Get a Polish plumber to fix the drain or a Polish nanny to mind the kids more cheaply and better than those the census calls "white Britons" and it must seem a useful addition to life's rich and increasingly diverse patterns – as the Guardian's Johnny Freedland suggests here.
Lose those two jobs to a foreigner and then find the local primary school or hard-pressed GP's surgery overcrowded by the same foreigner's family and it's not such fun. Whether or not the pros will outweigh the cons in the years to come it's too early to say. Just look how 17th-century Protestant migration patterns from Scotland to Ulster have echoed noisily down the centuries, while Protestant refugees from France to England at the same time have proved entirely benign.
Thanks to immigration Britain's demographic trends are healthier than in many neighbouring countries – ageing populations can be a serious problem for society – but the economic benefits seem to be mixed. There are too many other variables, not least the need to restore growth, to permit a confident prediction. Some immigrants are stinking rich, others stinking poor.
Alarm over census data has been routine since they were started in 1801. Note that Scotland goes its own way – virtually unremarked in insular Fleet Street where the Times reports that the population of "Britain" is now 56.1 million. Whoops! Today's Northern Ireland's data, always sensitive on religious/ethnic grounds of its own, is here.
In any case, a lot of other things affecting the makeup of the population are happening without a single Polish plumber or Indian-born IT specialist in sight. I think I read that there are now more people with degrees than with no qualifications. That squares with my own experience and observation – though it won't be so on many a council estate.
None of my parents' generation went to university in our family, nor did most of my dozen cousins and two – my sisters – of my three siblings (though they both trained as teachers which would count nowadays). We each had three children – six of each – so there are 12 nephews/nieces/cousins in play, all but one of whom are graduates and in work.
What is striking to me, surprising too, is that they range in age from 27 to 42 but still have only six children between them. Wow! That's a drop on our generation. What happened? Everything from later marriage/partnership to what may be a reluctance to commit. "In the old days you just had to get on with it. Young people today have a bewildering range of choices," says a wise old child psychiatrist of my acquaintance.
In the wider family we've got same-sex partnerships and two mixed-race marriages. My Canadian niece is married to a man whose mum is Parisian French and whose father is a Sikh. My two grandchildren are half Chinese with a dash of Burmese, though it should be added that my wife is a Kiwi of English, Irish and Channel Island stock, while my contribution is mostly Cornish.
Tricky, isn't it? My wife has paid taxes and held citizenship here (before she met me) for almost 50 years – but she still sounds a bit foreign. My Salford-born daughter-in-law's grandmother who died in Sarawak last week at 98 crossed the South China Sea at 18 to marry a man she barely knew. It worked out fine. They educated all their children – even the girls – and their offspring live in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Perth and of course London.
Big cities suit migrants and it's always worth reminding cosmopolitan city dwellers that the Guardian's beautiful maps still show vast swaths of the country which are over 90% white Briton – Cornwall is 98% so – where foreign-looking faces are rare. But even cities vary. A Frenchman of Vietnamese stock I know was shocked to be racially abused in monochrome Newcastle upon Tyne the other day. Yet in Essex, where they joked a generation ago that "even the newsagents are white", Priti Patel is now Tory MP for Witham. Things change – but they also remain the same. Patel articulates Essex values.
The census confirms that fewer now call themselves Christian, but they are still 59% against the Muslim 4.8%. Though less than half of those over 16 (an odd cut-off point that?), the married (46.6%) are still the largest block, and not all single adult households hope to remain that way and probably won't. Renters outnumber mortgage holders (a serious reflection on price and shortage) but homeowners who have paid it off should not be overlooked either.
And so it goes on. As usual the Daily Mail's editorial page is alarmed by the march of diversity and the metropolitan editorial team at the Guardian is encouraged. I'm not sure either view captures the appropriately mixed message from the data.
In the Mail melancholy writer Douglas Murray argues that the scale of immigration in the noughties has been too fast to absorb, though the success of the London Olympics points to a brighter message. But is the Guardian editorial right to conclude that "it is very bad news for the Conservatives" for the same reason that the decline of "angry white men" as a demographic block is proving fatal to the US Republicans?
I'm not so sure. The British Tories have not painted themselves into such a foolish corner as the Republicans. Our culture wars are not so shrill despite this week's furore over gay marriage. The newcomers are often cultural conservatives who are comfy (I recently heard a clever bishop say) living in a monarchy. Cameron's marriage manoeuvre will please some, offend others. Even the Mail shrewdly carries an upbeat article on a successful mixed-race marriage.
So it is surely as premature to assume the newcomers will be anti-Tory as it is for the Mail's Murray to trail – again – the preposterous conspiracy theory that Labour let in the Polish and Catholic millions, those Indian Hindus and Pakistani Muslims, because they hoped to create a majority Labour-voting coalition.
People aren't static in their views. Their circumstances change and so do they – that's why they migrated in the first place, as my wife still occasionally reminds me. After all, the census confirms that "white Britons" are now a minority in the capital (though whites and Britons are not), a city famously Labour-leaning. Yet who has it twice elected as its mayor?
Why, a Tory, blond and beefy Boris Johnson, a self-parodic chameleon of an Englishman. Yet dig a little deeper and you are reminded that Boris epitomises the diversity of the 2011 census. He is a bit English, German, Turkish, a bit Muslim, Christian and Jewish. Where does that blond mop spring from? From Goths who settled in Anatolia in the 5th century AD, says his biographer, Andrew Gimson. New-York-born Boris calls himself "a one-man melting pot" and he is right. It is part of the rascal's appeal.
Not every immigrant is so clever, well-educated or entertaining, but us locals can be pretty dull too. So let us suppress those doubts and make the best of who we have now become: we may be that much-photographed Sikh Guardsman in a turban, but we're also Boris, though probably less flamboyant, blond or Tory. It could be worse.

Laurent Jalabert of France, who broke three ribs in February while changing a light bulb, captured the fourth stage. He edged Ludo Dierckxsens of Belgium in a sprint finish.
Australia's Stuart O'Grady kept the overall leader's yellow jersey for a second day.
Armstrong finished seven seconds behind the leaders on a day of racing that ended at the scene of one of World War I's bloodiest battles. The two-time defending champion was 30th in the 133.5-mile stage.

Call me shallow, but my preference is generally for five star accomodation rather than the five thousand stars of camping. I do appreciate the beauty of nature but I am a girl who likes her creature comforts. At Chhatra Sagar Nimaj in Rajasthan, it is possible to have both. The tented camp sits on the edge of a man made lake created 120 years ago. Antelopes graze by the edge of the water and bird life is abundant from India's national bird the Kingfisher to spindly legged flamingoes. Arriving at Chhatra Sagar I finally exhaled. The peace and quiet was a world away from the dusty towns and roads we had spent the previous weeks exploring in India.
|The tents overlooking the lake
There are only 13 tents at Chhatra Sagar so the atmosphere is intimate. And what tents! The canvas inside is painted with intricate floral patterns and houses antique furniture, a huge bed with plump pillows and a slate bathroom area come complete with running water and electricity. This is a long way from roughing it.
|The camp is run by the same family who created the lake 120 years ago and staffed by locals from the nearby village
Each day at Chhatra Sagar we were woken by birds cooing outside the tent before being greeted by "bed tea", tea and biscuits brought to our bed side by one of the turbanned staff. Breakfast was served in a large tent overlooking the lake and tables were set with binoculars for watching the wildlife. It started with fresh juice and yoghurt studded with pomegranates and finished with eggs served as a masala (mixed) omelette.
|Breakfast Chaatra Sagar style
Typically of Chhatra Sagar's style the food highlights local produce and is presented in a rustic, home cooked style. Food was served straight from the cooking pots alongside standard offers of seconds. For lunch there was tender chicken enlivened with a spicy rub alongside tomato sauce singing of garlic, green lentils, sangri – a vegetable from the local Khedji tree and rice.
|Lunch of chicken with lentils, rice, tomatoes and sangri
Dinners at Chhatra Sagar were multi course affairs eaten by the flicker of candle light overlooking the lake. They started with a thin soup and then progressed to more family style servings of rich, slow cooked goat stew, potatoes scattered with sesame seeds and local corn and millet bread. It was simple, eloquent and honest food.
There were good sweet things too with desserts of kheer a local dish of broken wheat boiled with milk and laced with slivers of pistachio along with silky smooth rice pudding scented with cardamon and topped with rose petals.
|Inside the amazing tents – electricity and running water.
At Chhatra Sagar every detail had been thought of, from the wet face towels and cool lime and mint drinks that greeted our arrival to the "sundowner" gin and tonics which appeared at the top of the hill overlooking the camp as we watched the sun set. I can honestly say that the two days I spent at Chhatra Sagar were the highlight of my time in Rajasthan. It is truly a five star experience, only one which is conducted under the watchful gaze of five thousand stars at night time.
|Watching sunset from the verandah of our tent
Gourmet Chick was a guest of Chhatra Sagar
Details: Chhatra Sagar Nimaj, Dist. Pali-Marwar, 306 303 Rajasthan, India (Ph +91 9414123118)
Damage: Budget Breaking. The cost is Rs 21,780 (£269/$425) a night but this includes all meals, tours and sunset drinks.
Gourmet Travel Tips
- Kingfisher flies from London to Delhi from £500 return. There are then direct flights to Jodphur.
- Chhatra Sagar is two hours drive from Jodphur or five hours drive from Udaipur. Driving yourself in India is for crazy/very brave people. We hired a driver for two weeks in Rajastan using Kumar Tourist Taxi Service. It was Rs 25,000 (£309/$488) for a driver with an air conditioned car for the 14 days. The cost included petrol, tolls and the drivers food and accomodation.
- Once at the campsite we enjoyed a visit to the local village by jeep and a guided nature walk. Both activities were two of the most insightful and interesting experiences in my whole trip to India.
- The only thing missing at Chhatra Sagar is a swimming pool but cool breezes from the lakeside setting made the Indian heat much more bearable.

Ok, i don't believe this would be such a problem, but anyway, that is why i was thinking of doing a version changing script, which would wrap all the update-alternative calls. This way, the user would only have to call switch_ocaml <version_number> and automatically the right alternatives for the <version_number> version of ocaml would be choosen, It would be nicer if update_alternative supported alternative meta-packages or something such though. > This is the reason why the symlink solution without alternative > is not used in gcc, for example.

Mmm, ok. But the idea was _not_ to rebuild older versions of ocaml when i upload the new one. Let me think more about it. Friendly, Sven Luther

Could this Kitchen Staple Help You Lose Weight?
Hi Wild Ones!
People have sworn by the weight-defying power of vinegar for hundreds of years.
But, is it true? Or is it just wishful thinking?
One thing is certain. Vinegar is an extremely low-calorie way to make our food yummier. If you're not sure how to use it, you can check out my recipes for all kinds of inspiration.
But does vinegar's magic go deeper? Let's find out…
In high enough doses, vinegar (which is essentially diluted acetic acid) can promote AMPK production in human cells. AMPK is the enzyme that tells our bodies to start burning fat stores and up our energy production. So, it's an important one for fighting our global obesity epidemic.
Next question: What constitutes a high enough dose? And can we get that from our salads?
Scientists exposed the endothelial cells from umbilical cords (after birth—no harm whatsoever done to mum or baby!) to acetate, which is what acetic acid becomes in our stomachs. They found that a concentration of at least 100 was needed to meaningfully boost AMPK production. With a tablespoon of vinegar (from, for example, a serving of salad dressing), the acetate concentration in our blood only hits that level for a quarter of an hour. In other words, not enough.
Granted, these are laboratory studies we're talking about, so those results only tell us so much.
Now we have clinical studies to look at, too, and the results might interest you. A double blind trial of 150 "overweight" Japanese men and women examined the effects of apple cider vinegar on weight loss. One group received a high dose of vinegar (two tablespoons per day). One group drank only one tablespoon per day. And a placebo group drank an acidic beverage that didn't actually contain any acetic acid.
The 150 test subjects otherwise went about their normal lives. They ate how they always did, exercised normally, and drank their vinegar-y beverages.
And within just one month, both vinegar groups were showing significant weight loss compared to the placebo. They lost more and more every month (with the high dose group experiencing better results), while the placebo group had gained weight by month three.
How significant was their weight loss? That depends on your definition…The high dose group lost over two kilograms (five pounds) in twelve weeks. That's not a lot, but at the same time, they literally changed nothing else about their lifestyles, so it's also extraordinary.
And both vinegar groups were specifically losing visceral fat around their abdomens, which the researchers confirmed through CT scans. Visceral fat is the kind that builds around our organs and leads to serious health complications.
Not surprisingly, the weight came back a month after the men and women stopped drinking the vinegar. This is true of any weight loss strategy: you have to stick with it.
Now, gorgeous, I bet you want to know why the vinegar worked. So do I!
We actually don't know for sure, yet, but researchers suspect that it comes back to the effect of acetic acid on the body's production of AMPK.
One more thing. Keep in mind, who's funding these studies. The one I've described to you today took place thanks to the financial support of a vinegar company. That's not surprising, and it's not necessarily problematic (we'd probably never have any of that data if it wasn't for them!), but it's still important to know. I don't want to hide any information from you.
But that's the best part about experimenting with natural, healthy, chemical-free weight loss solutions. There are no bad outcomes! No matter what, you'll have some really delicious salads, and maybe you'll even drop a few kilos!
What do you have to lose? (Except those extra pounds, of course!)

I smoke cigarettes occasionally depending on how bad of a day I had. But its on an off. I'm the type of person who can go months without cigarettes and the spend then either weekend smoking them.
I also smoke weed. Was that too much? ha, well I don't smoke it often, I used too and then I got bored of it. Now I just do it about once every few months.
I hate when people are addicted to smoking cigarettes and I hate when people have a dependency on weed or when people smoke it daily. It just irritates me. It would irritate me if my boyfriend did it all the time. More for the fact that I'm worried for his health on the cigarette end and more for the fact that I wouldn't want a burn out for a lover/whatever on the weed end.
As for people who find it stupid, just like my belief in most other things: if its not bothering you then stfu.
Remember second hand smoke is bad. If you dislike it then don't be around it.
I don't smoke but I understand why if others would smoke maybe because it could be something to get him or her stress free like if something is troubling him or her and he or she don't know what to do or they just like it. Also i would care if my lover resorts to smoking because it kills u slowly, bad for health,could set an example to influence others to smoke( i guess), and smoking kills you. I would want to find a lover with the same thoughts as I do on smoking
I smoke, but I'm not a "smoker" . I'm not addicted to them, but I smoke cigs to stay awake when I'm really tired. I do enjoy some MJ or smoking hookah every now & then as well.
I use to smoke weed but not so much anymore
If you cant hang then, theres the door
I smoke sometimes but it bothers me when other do it? does that make sense? I'm weird.
ya i smoke sometimes i smoke two packs a day. I started when i was in six grade just cuz the older kids in high school were doing it so I wanted to be cool like them so i started smoking and now since its been so many years that its become a habit and a way of life for me. the first thing i do when i wake up is smoke, and right after i eat, every break i take, when i take a shit, right before bed, every time i come out of the car, when im bored, stressed, angry, or concentrating on something. its just a part of my everyday life now. i don't even go two hours without smoking if I'm awake. I will get off of a bus just to smoke. i have sneaked a drag on the plane. if I'm at work and i run out of cigarettes i will leave the job just to buy cigs and thats without permission. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and go smoke. even in the theaters i will go out for a smoke if the movie is long but sometimes i can't even last the hour an a half
No, never will!
MMMmmmmm Daddy plz
It's a bad habit for me because I've smoked consistently for 2-3 years and quit more often than not. But sometimes I get super urges to go for a smoke after a BIG meal or when I'm really stressed out during school ... Disgusting I know
After my dad got cancer lung cancer i decided to stay away from smoking, not that i ever wanted to before that.
The lung cancer he got tore my family apart, half my brothers had to go into child care and my other brothers i had to look after alone for half of a year. I see why people do it, i just realize that the labels would make it clear that smoking WILL kill you one day....
Luckily my dad got the cancer removed and it didn't return because the doctors caught it very early on. Shamefully most people are not this lucky though.
This is the reason i could never have a lover who smokes, mainly because i don't want to live knowing it will kill her one day and secondly i find it disgusting probably because of the other reason. Heck if i caught one of my kids smoking (whenever the lil' me's are running around trying to make me loose my hair as fast as they can) If i found them smoking they would be in a world of trouble, think Killua from hunter x hunter mixed with Palm...
I get why people do it though and thats the worst part i have to sit here trying to make my dad quit and helping him, essentially smoking is addictive and dangerous to your health, when it catches up to you, it's just a fight against death himself. I guess i am being opinionated here but honestly i've never met a good thing come of smoking and i truly believe the world would be better without it.
Only thing I smoke is cannabis... Been smokin' it for 8 years now and I'm still in top physical condition .-. Cigarettes are a taboo to me, so none of that cancerstick stuffs.
Honestly, if my girl smoked, it would be a plus, just as long as she didn't let it negatively affect her.
smoke what ... are we just talking about cigarettes?
i use to be an average smoker ... but, i have gone years without smoking too ... i just don't like the smell of it during or the stale smell afterwards ... like in clothes, hair, etc.
and if we were talking about toking well ... thats a whole other issue!
nope, and I'm like never around in secondhand smoke either (no one smokes in family/friends). So whenever I'm near by someone who smokes, I feel like I'm suffocating lol.
My opinion, idk why people waste money on something that may shorten their life.
and I do care if my lover smokes, I'd try to stop him as much as possible.
Errare humanum est
I'm the same, although i just get massive headaches when I'm around someone who is smoking.
Same with my girlfriend, i wouldn't want them to smoke because i can't stand being around them if they do.
I used to smoke cigarettes, but I dropped that habit cold turkey over a year ago. I don't do any tobacco product. I started when I was going through a real bad time in my life. I wanted to end it, but wasn't willing to pull the trigger, so to speak, so I started smoking to calm my nerves and kill myself slowly. After a while, though, I wasn't interested in smoking, so I tried to quit, but fell back into using tobacco because somebody I was working with kept getting on my nerves, and in my line of profession, you can get arrested for walking off. Plus, we were living in a cramped space together, which made matters worse. My ex girlfriend was irritating me as well throughout the entire time I was gone, and there was no other way (and $10 a carton was definitely not a bad deal for a smoker) to cope with the stress. I then moved to where I am now, realized how much it was affecting my paycheck and my body, so I decided to quit. Struggled for the first week, but after that, I've been smoke free ever since. As for weed, I'm allergic to it.
Winter isn't just coming. It's here.
I smoked for five years, then totally quit. It wasn't worth it. While it didn't do much bad to my health since it was only five years and I only used to smoke somewhere around 8-12 cigarettes a day (on average), it was still stupid to subject my body to that crap and subject my lungs to that smoke.
I know there are many people on these forums that are younger than me, so to any young people reading this; if you are considering starting smoking, just don't do it. Very bad for your health, and you throw away lots of money just to do something bad for your health!
Another thing to note, after I quit smoking and my tastes buds recovered, I could taste food better than when I was smoking. Smoking makes your taste buds be not as keen. So ever since I quit smoking in 2010, I've been able to enjoy blander foods and simpler foods more than I was for about five years. It's nice to be able to enjoy foods more easily and not feel the need to heavily season foods just to enjoy them.

LONDON (Reuters) - The tiny Falklands Islands will ask 3,000 inhabitants whether they want to stay part of Britain's self-governing overseas territories in a referendum designed to outflank Argentina's sovereignty claims to the South Atlantic archipelago.
Britain and Argentina waged a brief war over the disputed islands in 1982 and tensions between the two nations have escalated in the year of the 30th anniversary of the conflict as British companies have started to look for oil in the region.
The Falklands are among the scattered remnants of the once mighty British Empire, which towered over 19th century history but faded into decline after the Second World War.
Argentina argues it is absurd for Britain to have control of land so far from its own shores, accusing London of maintaining "colonial enclaves" and urging the British government to open sovereignty talks.
Britain has refused to do so, pointing out that the Falklands are self-governing and that talks could only take place if the islanders wanted them.
"I have no doubt that the people of the Falklands wish for the islands to remain a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom," Gavin Short, chairman of the Falklands Legislative Assembly, said on Tuesday.
"So we have decided, with the full support of the British Government, to hold a referendum on the Falkland Islands to eliminate any possible doubt about our wishes," he added.
The vote is expected to take place in the first half of 2013. The announcement dovetailed with a visit to the islands by British Foreign Office Minister Jeremy Browne.
"It will give the Falkland Islands people the opportunity to send a clear message - not just to Argentina, but to the whole of the international community - that the islanders, and they alone, are masters of their fate," he said.
"Only the Falkland Islands people can determine how they wish to be governed."
Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez has launched a wide-ranging diplomatic offensive to assert her country's claims to the islands, known in Spanish as Las Malvinas.
The latest in a string of diplomatic spats over the islands saw Britain demanding an apology from Argentina for a TV advert for the London 2012 Olympic Games which showed an Argentina hockey player training in the Falklands.

Five Reasons To See....Opera North's The Adventures Of Pinocchio
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 1 Nov 2010
1. What you see
The set and costume designs are really magical and sum up the fairytale world perfectly. The set is kind of like an old fashioned story book, and the beautiful and imaginative costumes help bring the characters to life. It's a big show with 114 costumes altogether!
2. A growing nose
"So how does it work?" - Probably the question I have been asked the most! It grows and grows and grows and grows and grows! About 6 times I think - the magic of theatre!! What a naughty little liar...
3. The music
Jonathan Dove and Alasdair Middleton have created a funny, spooky, scary, thrilling and touching show through their excellent words and lively music. The orchestration is brilliant, colouring the many scenes with originality - there are accordions on stage at one point!
4. The characters
Goodies, baddies, fun and adventure - this show will have you booing and cheering 'panto-style' by the end. It is filled with loads of colourful characters including Cat, Fox, Pigeon, Snail, Blue Fairy, Fire eater, Parrot, Lampwick, not to mention Cricket, Gepetto (and me, of course!) and many others.
5. What you feel
If you want an action-packed show that will leave you walking out on a little cloud, this is it. More like a musical than an opera in some ways, Director Martin Duncan and Choreographer Nick Winston bring the West End to The Lowry, creating more than a few "Hollywood moments" on the way. If you're not humming the tunes as you come out of the theatre I'll eat my hat!
Opera North's The Adventures Of Pinocchio is at the Lowry from 5 - 6 November. For more details, visit the Opera North website.

Milwaukee's spring training is now in full-swing.
All eyes are on Zack Greinke; something he doesn't really like. He apparently increased his medication to deal with on-going anxiety disorder and this can cause fatigue, which will hopefully be worked on and corrected over the next month. Not exactly the news I was hoping for coming out of Phoenix. As a result of all the attention, he has become a bit "reclusive" and directing his attention to pitching (where else would it be?). This could be a reoccuring problem for the ex-CY Young winner. It's been an issue in the past while in Kansas City, most likely last season with his lack-luster season. Hopefully the other hurlers will step up and try to steal the spotlight from him.
DO NOT be suprised if Yovanni is announced as the Opening Day starter for Milwaukee and Greinke is moved to the #2 spot in the rotation.
Is this small little newsbit enough to get worked-up over? No, but it's something to certainly monitor. There is far too much at stake this season for it not be taken seriously.
* Nice story on Corey Hart in yesterday's paper. I used to really hate this man when he sucked, but like Rickie Weeks...I'm now eating crow because of it.
*Edison Volquez was already named the Opening Day starter for Cincy. He will take to the mound against a potent offense from Milwaukee.
*Fox Sports Wisconsin will televise all of their 132 games in HD, similar to last year's claim. I must argue however, that there were many times when I would notice that the games were in standard def. Perhaps it was just in North Central Wisconsin region, but a remember a number of times when the game wasn't in HD.
*Nice to see Logan Schafer and Mark DeFilice in camp. You might remember last season when Logan reported to camp, but was quickly knocked out after a pretty severe groin tear (cringe). A crazy twist to his story; this injury than turned in to a sports hernia . Once he recovered from that, the putz fouled a ball of his right foot and broke it. Holy balls, does this kid have bad luck.
Mark was out the entire 2010 season with a shoulder injury, but was a stand-out in the pen during the 2009 campaign (despite the team's record).
*Alcides Escobar, last years SS for the Crew, is now reuniting with Ned Yost. The two last worked together during Spring Training in 2008. Ned would use Escobar as a fill-in. Ned knows Escobar well and is aware of how dangerous he can be on the base path. I still think Odorizzi will be the most missed in that winter trade, but Escobar could be a player that collects 30 stolen bases this year....IF....he improves his OBP.
*Finally, for the 2nd year in a row I "won" the right to purchase Opening Day tickets.

The mere mention of a ring evokes images of a man down on one knee, holding a dainty ring with an expression that rapidly changes from apprehension to excitement to fear to elation and a lot more in between.
Engagements and weddings are, indeed, occasions marked by the exchange of rings – and vows – but they aren't the only ones. Rings have been part of the human experience since time immemorial and, over the years, different types and styles of rings have evolved, with each having its own special significance.
You can find hundreds of different styles for wedding rings, from the type of stone to the pattern, the setting, and the shape. The multitude of combinations and permutations enable you to experiment with and create your own distinctive style.
But that can be time-consuming and cumbersome, and the outcome might not be to your liking. A safer bet is to go with one of the several styles, tried and tested over the centuries.
For easier understanding, we have listed below the different styles of rings. To find out about the different types of rings, visit here.
It's a simple, plain ring, with the band made of metal such as gold, silver or bronze. Wedding bands are pretty common while of late, fashionable bands made from diverse materials have also been in vogue.
Beaded Ring
Ranging from minimalistic to intricate, beaded rings encapsulate a diverse range of designs that are phenomenal. The core principle, however, is the same: beads are woven on wires or threads with emphasis on symmetry, congruency, and design.
Carved Ring
In this marvel of craftsmanship, patterns are carved on wood, metal, stone or even bones by hands. Specific inscriptions can also be engraved using this method. Recently, the process has been automated with machines used for creating carved rings.
Cluster Ring
A symbol of opulence, a cluster ring usually comprises of small stones in a cluster setting. Conversely, a large stone surrounded by many small stones is also classified as a cluster ring.
Cocktail Ring
Cocktail rings are also known as 'statement rings' due to their size and appearance. They are set with two or more diamonds or colored gemstones. Often oversized, they became fashionable during the Prohibition era in the United States. Women used to wear them at illegal cocktail parties.
Nowadays, while rare, they still retain their popularity and are now worn with casual outfits.
Solitaire Ring
Another extremely popular ring style, a solitaire ring, traditionally has a band with a single diamond at its center. Solitaire rings can also be fitted with a gemstone.
Stone Ring
It has a precious or semi-precious gemstone or even a synthetic stone set at the center. With a large range of gemstones to choose from, it offers a multitude of choices. Due to the unique associations made with each stone, people tend to get stone rings with the stone that is most compatible with their preferences.
Trinity Ring
As the name suggests, it comprises of three intertwined rings that are worn together. The choice of gemstone can vary while the material of the bands can also be based on the preference of the buyer.
While this isn't the complete list of ring styles, it covers the most popular styles. Please tell us about your favorite style of ring as well as those that you feel should be featured on this list.

Week ending July 19, 2013
Newton, Christy. Begin Again. Crimson Romance: F+W Media. Aug 2013. 113p. ebk. ISBN 9781440571633. $4.99. CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
In this earnest tale from Newton (Stolen Hearts), Indiana diner waitress Maisie Scott doesn't think that love is in the cards. She lost both her husband and the baby she was carrying in a tornado. Now her focus is on saving enough money to move out of her sister's basement. Her sister means well by giving her a pet hamster for company, but Maisie can barely take care of herself, let alone another living thing. Exotic-pet veterinarian Ryan Tucker moved to Pleasant Valley in hopes of starting a new chapter in his life and has a thing for the cute redheaded waitress who serves up homemade pie at the diner down the street. Maisie is attracted to Ryan, but she doesn't know if she can open herself to love again. Ryan also harbors a secret from his past that may jeopardize the relationship with Maisie before it even has a chance to get off the ground.
Verdict Newton shows promise as a storyteller as demonstrated by her knack for developing a strong hero and heroine whose love story, with its mild romantic scenes, quickly immerses the reader. The ending seems a bit far-fetched, but that is a small blemish on what otherwise is a sweetly charming read.—Kara Kohn, Plainfield P.L., IL
Seasons, Jennifer. Playing the Field. Avon Impulse. (Diamonds & Dugouts, Bk. 2). Jul. 2013. c.241p. ebk. ISBN 9780062271464. $1.99. SPORTS ROMANCE
Sonny Miller and her son, Charlie, are a team of two, and that is how they both plan on keeping it. Sonny insists that she is not superstitious, but Charlie knows better (especially when it comes to Saturdays). Saturdays are only for cleaning since things like breakups and abandonment are the only memories of Saturdays that Sonny has. But when Charlie joins a Little League team, Sonny has to break out of her routine to attend Charlie's Saturday games. The next thing you know, Charlie has Sonny at a fundraiser for the Colorado Rush professional baseball team (on a Saturday) and the Rush superstar shortstop, JP, starts making all sorts of plans to fill Sonny's weekends. Ego and bravado are perfect and perhaps required for a sports professional but can certainly cause problems in romance (especially with a protective single mother).
Verdict Fans of Luanne Rice will appreciate the complexities of the family and life dynamics and their impact on new romance in this latest series entry from Seasons (after Stealing Home). Recommended for sports lovers and romance fans in general.—Heather Lisa Maneiro, Minnesota State Univ. Lib.' Moorhead
Zuzulo, Kellyann. The Genie Smolders. Boroughs Pub. (Zubis Chronicles, Bk. 2). Jul. 2013. 208p. ebk. ISBN 9781938876158. $3.99. ETHNOCULTURAL, PARANORMAL ROMANCE
This second installment in the "Zubis Chronicles" (after The Genie Ignites) continues the story of the forbidden love between Zubis, a jinni or genie, and Bethany O'Brien, a human woman who is the reincarnation of a priestess from the time of Solomon. Zubis has loved Bethany for 3,000 years, and Bethany has recently given birth to Zubis's daughter, Fia. Malevolent forces have conspired to keep them apart by kidnapping Fia in order to force Zubis to help the evil jinni Iblis—also known as "Shaitan" or Satan—to conquer the world. A varied cast of human and jinni plotters take advantage of Zubis's further vulnerability: he is in thrall to an Arabian family because he owes them the third of three wishes.
Verdict Unexpected angelic help and the power of sexual healing add layers of interest, while well-crafted romantic interludes and the use of Arabic phrases and locales lend authenticity and depth. The complex plot and multiple characters would make reading the first book in the series essential for most readers.—Henry Bankhead, Los Gatos Lib., CA

Data Centers
For some organizations, thinking about a new data center occurs in tandem with planning for what will happen to the old data center. What happens when a data center has reached the end of its life? It depends on what's going to happen with the building after the data center is decommissioned.
One option is to re-purpose the building for another use. Many data centers are part of a larger building that also includes office space. Depending on the age and condition of generators, chillers, and other MEP/fire protection systems, there is an after-market for used equipment. There is also a huge after-market to salvage electrical equipment and power cabling due to the high cost of copper.
If the data center has underground fuel tanks, they need to be removed and decommissioned in accordance with EPA requirements. Batteries in UPS systems need to be removed and recycled.
If you are moving out of your data center because you have outgrown the available power and space, one option is to re-sell the property to another user. There is a robust market in the United States for customers looking for existing data center space.
In some cases, the land may be more valuable for an alternate use, which would require decommissioning and demolition on the entire facility. Again, it's worthwhile to consider reselling heavy equipment and salvaging other valuable assets to maximize the value that can be obtained from the old data center.
It should be obvious that no one size fits all. Each type of data center is unique in its mission and life cycle. The up-front planning and total cost of ownership analysis of options are critical steps to a successful project.

What I liked most about my disability experience is it's what on the inside of a person that counts. -- Rebecca, an 8-year-old
Olympia, WA (PRWEB) May 20, 2014
The new guide "Disability 4 A Day" (published by Balboa Press) from author Dr. Michelle McFalls-Mills presents to readers her Disability 4 A Day program, which gives children and adults a chance to "walk in someone else's shoes" by experiencing a "physical disability."
This edition of "Disability 4 A Day" includes all required forms and step-by-step instructions that speech/language pathologists, occupational therapists and physical therapists will need to implement the program in a school, clinical or community setting.
"Interactions between able-bodied individuals and individuals with disabilities occur daily," McFalls-Mills says. "Many times, these interactions are negative, toward the individual with the disability. My program offers the opportunity for able-bodied individuals to 'see' disability from a different view and perspective."
Perhaps the best endorsement of this program comes from Rebecca, an 8-year-old participant. "What I liked most about my disability experience is it's what on the inside of a person that counts."
