St John's East Window
A New Window
An Exciting Artist
A Beautiful Design
Be part of it
Photos of Tisbury
A new memorial window
A moment in time for Tisbury Community
A beautiful work of art in a fitting location
A new East Window
St John's Church, Tisbury
A worn-out window provides a visionary opportunity for a village to commemorate its loved ones.
The East window at St John's, Tisbury, damaged through time and poor restoration, has been given a new vision. A new stained glass window has been approved, its purpose to serve as a memorial to our community's loved ones.
A place of beauty, contemplation and peace.
An explosion of colour
"We enter through the north door of the church in a quiet moment. We go forward so we can look each way down the length of the 800-year-old building.
We pause for a few minutes to take in the stillness of the great space.
We look left to the east and wow! there seems to be an explosion of colour, a great golden light shining through the five long sections of the new window.
We feel a sense of wonder, excitement and joy as we slowly enter the St Andrew's chapel to approach the source of the light.
We dimly see figures of people and birds caught up in glory and of a background which, almost in the shape of a tree, connects the Wiltshire countryside outside with us within this place of worship. Above the main panels are detached shapes which seem to flutter like falling leaves to the ground, perhaps representing those who have passed before us."
An impression of the new window's impact:
Martin Shallcross, Focus Magazine
How can this be achieved?
The Church Commissioners are responsible for the structural repairs to the church and will fund a value equivalent to the installation of plain glass. We have been given approval to replace the faded and damaged existing window with new stained glass. The artist and design have also been approved - we now need to find the money to pay for it.
The new window will be beautiful and create a place of peace for you to sit and remember your loved ones, it will be much more, it will also become a record of our community - a moment in time.
We will create a memorial book to accompany the window which will be on permanent display in the church. Each part of the window will be recorded and illustrated, with a record of the sponsors and their personal memorials.
A copy of the book will always be available in the church for you, your friends and descendants to visit.
St John's Church has an 850 year history with significant burials and international connections. It seems fitting that we honour and continue this by bringing a renowned artist's work to Tisbury.

'Venom' May Be Looking To Adapt One Classic Comic Storyline
By Megan Peters - October 24, 2017 11:43 am EDT
Venom is moving quickly towards production, but fans have yet to find out just what the spin-off will be about. It doesn't look like Sony Pictures will be able to plug Spider-Man into the film, but the studio might have found a way around needing the hero. If a new report is correct, then Venom may be following after a classic comic storyline which sees Eddie Brock doing his own thing away from New York City.
Recently, Omega Underground found out some new production details about the film. The notes have prompted fans to agree that Venom may be eyeing Lethal Protector as its inspiration of choice.
If you are not familiar with the comic run, then you should know the series doesn't see Venom off doing nefarious things as you might assume. The story ran back in 1993 and sees Eddie reconcile himself with the Venom symbiote and even Spider-Man. After coming to terms with his new life, Eddie moves to San Francisco and winds up becoming a hero of sorts; The character winds up protecting a group of disenfranchised dwellers over in California, but his past cannot totally escape him.
Despite turning over a new leaf, Venom finds himself threatened when mercenaries are hired to kill him. The gang, who goes by the name The Jury, eventually leads Venom to fight a new gang of symbiote villains along with some surprise help from New York's Spider-Man.
So far, the only evidence backing up this comic storyline and its involvement with Venom has to do with filming. Omega Underground learned Venom is tentatively set to begin filming in San Francisco which is ground zero for Lethal Protector. Of course, Sony has yet to acknowledge the reports, so fans can only make their best educated guesses right now.
If Venom were to adapt the Lethal Protector storyline, it would do so very loosely. Guys like Iron Man or Spider-Man could not make appearances in the movie, and Venom would have to somehow show Eddie's origins and subsequent turn into an anti-hero. Just the backstory alone would make for a busy movie, so Venom would have its work cut out for it if it does try to bring this Marvel storyline to life.
Venom currently has a 3.88 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating, making it the fourth most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among ComicBook.com users.
Let us know how much you're looking forward to Venom by giving the film your own personal ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating below.

A Lantern In A Poet's Garden
Nine poems by Danske Bedinger Dandridge and two poems by Daniel Bedinger Lucas are brought to us with a fresh insight and renewed appreciation through the music of composer, song writer and performer, Terry Tucker, of Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The poems serve as lyrics to the songs in Terry Tucker's recording, Lantern in a Poet's Garden. Terry says, the poems were the inspiration for the music, each song bringing the poem to life and color and each poem creating its own unique musical setting and arrangement.
Terry Tucker, Composer
We appreciate Terry Tucker's generosity in posting the songs on her website and her courtesy in welcoming us to link her songs to the Bedinger Family website where they may be heard and appreciated.

Best Action Movies for 1991
Friday, October 9, 2009 at 11:10 am
I've noticed that a lot of people have been searching for "best action movies" at OGM, so never let it be said that I don't try to please my readers. A few of the movies on this list would qualify as some of the best action movies of the 20th century, especially T2, a film which seems to be the standard when people want to try out their new home entertainment system. We've also got offerings from Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and even former football star Brian Bosworth. So grab yourself a cold one, turn off your higher brain functions, and prepare to enjoy this list of the best action movies for 1991.
TV episodes & movies from Netflix – now instantly to your TV! Free trial
Terminator 2: Judgment Day – T2 is still considered a badass piece of sci-fi/action cinema, despite the fact that it was made almost 20 years ago. That's largely thanks to the vision of director James Cameron, but don't forget about the contributions of a buff Linda Hamilton, a not-yet-chubby Edward Furlong, and, of course, the future governor of California. This movie's got plenty of shootouts, a great villain (Robert Patrick in his big-screen debut), and a relentless soundtrack that will split your skull open with the volume turned up. It also manages to just be fun, a trait sorely lacking in the most recent Terminator film from Christian Bale and company.
Double Impact – The only thing better than one Jean-Claude Van Damme is two! In Double Impact, that's exactly what we get. The Muscles from Brussels plays identical twins (and I mean identical) separated as infants following the assassination of their parents. Years later, they're brought together for the first time, and it doesn't take long before they decide to team up and get revenge on those responsible. And get this: one Van Damme is a tough guy, and the other Van Damme is kind of a lightweight. Talk about your high concepts! Oh, yeah, that crazy-looking Bolo Yeung once again volunteers to play the baddie and get kicked in the face in slow motion.
The Last Boy Scout – Bruce Willis is Joe Hallenbeck, a former Secret Service agent turned private detective. After he fails to protect a stripper (Halle Berry in an early role), he and her ex-quarterback boyfriend (Damon Wayans), team up to get to the bottom of her death. What they find is corruption, lots of bullet-riddled bodies, and the rise of the dreaded Satan Claws. With a curse-laden screenplay by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) and memorable performances from Noble Willingham, Danielle Harris, and Taylor Negron, The Last Boy Scout remains an overlooked gem from the early '90s.
Out for Justice – Steven Seagal raises hell in Brooklyn as Gino Felino, an unstoppable cop looking for the childhood pal (William Forsythe) who killed his partner. Seagal kicks all kinds of ass, from breaking bones in a butcher's shop to busting heads (and teeth) with a cue ball in a local dive. He also finds time to adopt a puppy, reconcile with his estranged wife, and tell a heart-wrenching story about his father. And don't miss the final ass-kicking delivered to Forsythe's crack-smoking Richie Madano. Terrific casting throughout, including Jerry Orbach, Gina Gershon, Julianna Margulies, and Dominic Chianese. Undoubtedly, one of the best action movies of 1991.
Point Break – Keanu Reeves is Johnny Utah, a former college football star turned rookie FBI agent. He and his partner (crazy Gary Busey) are assigned to take down a gang of bank robbers known as the Ex-Presidents due to their fondness for wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, LBJ, and Nixon. This leads to the surfing community, and Utah meets the philosophy-spouting Bodhi (the late Patrick Swayze), a charismatic free spirit who may very well be the leader of the Ex-Presidents. Can Utah bring his new friends to justice, or will he be forced to fall to his knees and fire his gun into the air with a pained look on his face?
The Perfect Weapon – Jeff Speakman shows off his skills in Kenpo by using lighting strikes and a pair of sticks to get revenge on the mob members who killed his mentor. Speakman's got the on-screen skills and looks, so it's amazing that his career never got any bigger than it did. Still, The Perfect Weapon is a solid martial arts movie, and Law & Order: SVU fans should keep an eye out for an early appearance by Mariska Hargitay.
Showdown in Little Tokyo – The late Brandon Lee makes his first appearance in an American movie, and he co-stars with Dolph Lundgren as a pair of L.A. cops set on taking down a vicious drug kingpin. Plenty of action follows, as well as some buddy cop chemistry and the smokin' body of Tia Carrere. It's not the best action film of 1991, but it's still solid enough to get a recommendation.
Stone Cold – Former football star Brian "The Boz" Bosworth portrays Joe Huff, an unconventional Alabama cop forced to go undercover to infiltrate a violent biker gang known as The Brotherhood. Besides running drugs with the mafia, it seems The Brotherhood is also planning to use stolen military equipment to storm the Mississippi capitol, kill a number of government officials, and rescue one of their members on trial for murder. The gang is led by Chains, a total white trash psycho played by Lance Henriksen, and his second-in-command, Ice Hensley (the always-wonderful William Forsythe). Mullets abound, as well as fistfights, chopper races, and even a pet Komodo dragon. Stone Cold is refreshing due to the fact that The Brotherhood accomplishes much of their objective before getting wasted. That's a rarity in action movies, regardless of the decade.
So there you have it, an action movie list dedicated solely to 1991. While the above are really good action movies, you might also take a look at the ones below if you're in the mood for something craptastic. Just remember, you've been warned.
Highlander II: The Quickening – Throughout the entire first Highlander film, we were led to believe that the winner of "The Prize" would gain mortality and die a natural death. Well, that's not the case. In fact, it turns out that all the "immortals" from the first film were actually rebels from the planet Zeist, exiled to Earth and forced to fight in a centuries-long contest which was nothing more than a sham. Oh, brother. The ruler of Zeist, General Katana (Michael Ironside), decides to come to Earth and cause trouble, and Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) and Ramirez (Sean Connery, somehow resurrected after having his head cut off) spend much of the film trying to take down a shield which has been erected over the Earth to provide an artificial ozone layer. Sound stupid? It is. Highlander fans were not pleased, and this entire storyline was largely ignored in future sequels.
Captain America – What better choice for the fighting symbol of America than the son of reclusive author J.D. Salinger? It also doesn't help that the film was made on the cheap, reducing every action sequence to an exercise in intense agony. The Red Skull looks cheesy, Cap looks cheesy, and his shield looks especially cheesy. Even the presence of Ronny Cox as the President of the U.S. can't save this stinker. Let's hope the 2011 version is a little bit better.
The Hitman – Chuck Norris demonstrates all the acting range of a cigar store Indian in this film about a cop (Norris) who gets betrayed and shot by his corrupt partner. The department declares him dead, and he makes his return in the guise of a hitman named Danny Grogan in order to bring down two groups of mobsters. In between roundhouse kicks and shotgun blasts, he still finds time to make friends with a fatherless boy who lives down the hall. I don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but Norris ends up saving the day and killing all the bad guys.
And that concludes our selection of the best action movies for 1991 and a handful of others that aren't so spectacular. If you're looking for additional ways to waste your time, why not check out the following articles from OGM:

Derived in the Heian period from writing the man'yōgana kanji 衣 in the cursive sōsho style.
The hiragana syllable え (e). Its equivalent in katakana is エ (e). It is the fourth syllable in the gojūon order; its position is あ行え段 (a-gyō e-dan, "row a, section e").
For pronunciation and definitions of え – see the following entries.
For a list of all kanji with on'yomi え, not just those used in Sino-Japanese terms, see Category:Japanese kanji with on reading え.


Chattooga Lake is a 45 acres private lake in a gated community. This is a great fishing, canoeing and kayaking lake. The lake was built by the Fowler Family in the 1960s and was called Fowler Lake till the mid 80's when the name was changed to Chattooga Lake. The lake is at the end of Chattooga Lake Road, behind the gate. Chattooga Lake is emerald green with trees overhanging the road that circles the lake. The development joins Sumter National Forest and has a peaceful feel, blending with nature. Deer, turkey, and other wild animals come from the forest into the neighborhood. Bear have been seen also. Peace and tranquility abound in the community.


As a sales manager, one of your responsibilities is to develop your sales team's professionalism. After reading Doug Lipp's Disney U: How the Disney University Develops the World's Most Engaged, Loyal, and Customer Centric Employees, you will come away with a notebook filled with ideas to improve your employee development. Lipp lived the Disney U experience and gives us the inside stories that back up the results.
"Management must be diligent or the show [customer experience] will deteriorate."
"Management must be diligent or the cast [employees] will deteriorate."
Is organizational support found at every level?
Is employee education valued and non-negotiable?
Is entertainment incorporated into training and education initiatives?
"My basic story is about the two men laying bricks," says Van Johnson, the person responsible for building and leading Disney U, in the opening of the chapter titled "The Language of Success."
"When asked what he is doing, one man says, 'I'm laying bricks.' The other man performing the same task says, 'I'm building a cathedral.'"
Johnson went on: "I have found that most people want to be involved in something greater than just being paid for a job."
The question is, what are you doing to not only train people on your products/services but to truly build a team that excels in all aspects of representing your firm? Ask me for a copy of "Building Belief" for a few ideas.


You can see all of the coupons I have received so far by us postal mail.
no more printing wasting ink and paper. There is a one time payment of 10.00.
You can keep doing this over and over and never have to contact me again.
I only pay .35 cents a bottle.
I do this every week so I keep getting coupons in the mail and never have to pay full price for it.
This coupon is for a free scrubbing bubbles machine.
Free 64 wash load of Tide liquid Detergent.
Not bad for 1 days worth of mail.
These coupons were from Bounty paper towels. Buy a 2pak and get a 2pak free. So I ended up with 8 rolls of paper towels for the price of 4.

Christiane Toewe
Light, Lightness and Movement
These three concepts have always characterised the porcelain work of Christiane Toewe.
A ten-year education in all areas of ceramic art, design theory and media design, characterized by curiosity and experimental enthusiasm, marks the exciting path of an artist who is constantly prepared for new challenges and passionately dedicates herself to porcelain as a material.
From small and fine objects to large and filigree porcelain sculptures, you are constantly developing new forms and contents. The charm of translucency, combined with a balancing act of technology, a feeling for the play with the material and the sheer joy of creativity have paved the way for new works that have appeared continuously since 1990.
In combination with light, the aesthetic atmosphere is enhanced by filigree porcelain.
The luminous objects disappear in their own light and overcome the limits of materiality. The shadows and light reflections that the objects cast on the wall, the interaction between sculpture and space, reinforce this impression even more.
The space-filling installations of porcelain and light are impressive. The museum works are conceived with programmed, modelled light and fill the space. They describe socially relevant contents. The viewer often recognizes their deep meaning only at second glance. The examination of social and existential themes creeps in via the aesthetic effect of the works.
The artistic statements are supplemented by sound, photos, graphics and/or videos.
Standing and hanging lamps enrich the working and private rooms of all those who appreciate light.
Since 1994 in Bamberg, Germany, the works of Toewe porcelain meanwhile found its way into the world. Light in its most beautiful form.

the former home of Movie Magic, and the drive-through business is open, under new ownership and with a new name, The Ravell'd Sleeve Espresso Bar.
Ken and Sarah Drew hope to educate Islanders about coffee's finer points.
The business, which opened last week, will offer coffee from the three coffee-growing regions of the world: Latin America, Indonesia and Africa, each with its own district flavor, according to Ken Drew, who owns the new business with his wife Sarah.
"We'd like to try to highlight the best of the best," he said.
At many coffee shops, Ken said, when people order their coffee, they expect it to taste just like the cup they ordered there the day before. But at this business, customers can do that, or they can try different types of coffees, just as they might with beer at a pub or brew house.
"I'd love to introduce people to a new way of looking at coffee," he said.
Now, only the drive-through is open, though inside the building during Friday's art walk, the Drews offered a cupping, an event they said they would like to continue. Eventually, they hope to create a sit-down business inside. They also offer high-quality teas, and their vision, Ken said, includes scattered tables with glass teapots being warmed by tea lights under them, which was a feature of other coffee shops he has overseen.
For their new endeavor, the Drews have invested in what they say is a premium Italian espresso machine, made by Nuova Simonelli; only three such machines currently operate in North America.
Now a consultant and working from home in addition to starting this business, Ken previously worked in a variety of positions in the coffee industry. It was an industry they both missed, Sarah said, and when this opportunity became available, they took it.

The disposal of wastewater is one of the most serious problems in the industrial era of the urbanizing world. It affects the quality of land, water and also its surrounding environment significantly. The present study focused on the cost-effective biological treatment of dairy effluent by using aquatic plant (water hyacinth). The major objective of our study is to investigate the filtration potential of water hyacinth (an aquatic plant) in treating wastewater, that is discharged from the small-scale dairy industries. The water quality parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), alkalinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulphate, potassium, sodium and chloride, were tested for the detention period of 15 days and 30 days with varying plant growth density. The results were analyzed and compared with the irrigation standards to evaluate the treatment efficiency. The analysis results show greater efficiency in removal of TH, Ca, Mg, EC and COD as 80, 85, 64, 63 and 73%, respectively and moderate efficiency in removal of Na, K and SO4 as 43, 57 and 59%, respectively. Thus, the present biological treatment system will provide outlet water of upgraded quality by considering the efficient removal of COD, TH, Na, K and SO4 that can be discharged directly into the public drains and watercourses without affecting the assimilating capacity of streams. The present study can be continued to analyze the various aquatic plants in order to construct artificial wetland based treatment facilities for uptaking the pollutants from wastewater that can be used for secondary uses, such as gardening and landscaping purposes.

The Washington, D.C. of Fiction: A Research Guide
Author: James A. Kaser
Dating back to the early nineteenth century up through America's bicentennial, hundreds of novels can be found where the District of Columbia serves as the locale. And after the era of Vietnam protests and Watergate, everyone--the Washington Post noted--seemed to be writing a Washington novel. While many of these are works of genre fiction in which Washington serves as a backdrop, there have also been several insightful literary novels. Copies of the post-1976 texts can be fairly easily located, however, books published before this era are not quite as accessible. Furthermore, no single source has ever offered a comprehensive listing of works of fiction set in the nation's capitol.
In The Washington, D.C. of Fiction, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for nearly 400 works published between 1822 and 1976, and bibliographic information for hundreds more published in the thirty years since. Because of the obscurity of so many authors of pre-1976 books, this book also contains a biographical information section, which follows the annotations. Plot summaries, names of major characters, and lists of Washington, D.C. settings are also provided.
Although this book was written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries have enough detail for the general reader--who may never actually look at the novels themselves--that he or she can develop an understanding of the way attitudes toward Washington, and what the city has symbolized, have changed over the years. Similarly, the biographical section, aside from its main purpose in helping find useful information on obscure writers, demonstrates the wide range of people who were motivated to write about the city: journalists, politicians, society women, and freelance writers.

Tampering Revealed, State Throws Out Seattle School's Test Scores
KUOW | By Ann Dornfeld,
Ross Reynolds
Published October 15, 2014 at 11:58 AM AKDT

When Beacon Hill International School in Seattle submitted its tests last spring, district officials spotted improbably high scores schoolwide.
Now, the state schools office has invalidated test results for the elementary school. This is the first time an entire school's state test scores have been thrown out due to tampering.
KUOW reporter Ann Dornfeld spoke on Wednesday with Ross Reynolds about what might have happened -- was it cheating? Sabotage by someone who objects to standardized testing?
A bid for bonus pay by an administrator?
ROSS REYNOLDS:
Ann, how did this first come to light?
ANN DORNFELD:
Well, the district first noticed that there was something fishy with the tests from Beacon Hill International School.
[asset-pullquotes[{"quote": "It could be that someone who objects to standardized testing sabotaged the school's test results in order to prove a point. Or someone could have done this to make the school look bad.", "style": "inset"}]]The scores were unusually high across the board among the third through fifth grade students. Those are the grades that take the state (Measurements of Student Progress) test.
The district asked the state to investigate.
ROSS:
What do we know about the extent of the changes made to the tests?
The state found a huge number of erasures of incorrect answers and the correct answers filled in instead.
For example, on one third-grade math question, every single student got the answer right.
But 30 tests showed that the students' answers had initially been wrong, then were erased and changed to the right answer.
The result was that the school looked like it was doing better than most schools around the state, and far better than it had in recent years.
State officials ran data analysis on the scores and found that it was highly unlikely that these scores were authentic.
So they threw out the entire school's spring test results.
What are school officials doing to address this?
The state has concluded its investigation, and Seattle Public Schools has an ongoing investigation to find out who was responsible for the tampering.
They say they've hired an outside investigator to talk to people at the school – from the students to the administration – to try to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
They'll want to look at who had keys to any rooms where the tests were stored, and the chain of custody after the students completed the tests.
Stacy Howard is a district spokeswoman. She points out that the state test given last spring has been discontinued in favor of new tests that will be aligned with the new Common Core State Standards.
STACY HOWARD, SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
"And now we're on to the Smarter Balanced testing, and we're hoping that will better evaluate students' progress toward college and career readiness and they will be computer-based so we hope that will decrease the odds of something like this happening again."
There have been other cheating incidents in public schools across the country. Educators at Atlanta Public Schools are on trial now, accused of manipulating test scores. What happened there?
In Atlanta, teachers have already come forward to say they were pressured by administrators to change student test scores from wrong to right answers in order to keep their schools afloat, and in order to guarantee cash bonuses for everyone from support staff to the superintendent.
What are the similarities?
Seattle doesn't offer the same kinds of cash bonuses for teachers based on student performance.
But principals and administrators do get thousands of dollars of annual bonuses based in large part on student performance, including test scores.
Of course, it's not clear whether this was cheating, or who was responsible.
It could be that someone who objects to standardized testing sabotaged the school's test results in order to prove a point.
Or someone could have done this to make the school look bad.
But there are many who have warned that the increasing pressure on teachers and administrators to boost test scores created an unhealthy incentive for cheating, so that suspicion is out there.

Don't believe the hype that all those energy and sport drinks are good for you! The best drink to quench your thirst is water. It's calorie-free and you should be consuming at least 8 cups per day (64 ounces). Water hydrates your skin, helps remove toxins, and helps fight constipation. If you feel the need for flavor, here are some good low-calorie drink ideas that won't lead to weight gain or diabetes.
1. Flavored Water is a great refreshing, healthy drink. Try a splash 100% fruit juice or a squeeze of lemon or lime in your water glass. You can make delicious cherry, grape or cranberry flavored water that even the kids will enjoy.
2. Coffee and Tea are calorie-free, as long as you use all natural stevia or artificial sweeteners and leave out the cream. They are safe for most people and may even have some health benefits.
3. Stevia Sweetened Drinks are calorie-free and the new branded Truvia is now available in most stores and restaurants.
The best advice is to kick the sugar habit and refrain from fruit juices, sodas, and sport drinks. If you are not an athlete replenishing lost electrolytes and carbs from a high-intensity workout, just one 8oz can of these sugary drinks every day can increase your weight gain up to 15 pounds in a year.

The Mosiso Travel Umbrella, is light weight and compact so it sits neatly in the door compartment of my wife's car.
It folds away very easily, and has a sheath to keep it in it's compact state, and also stops dribbling after use.
My wife loves the automatic button to put it up, it means she can put the umbrella out of the car with just one hand and press the button… so she doesn't get wet putting up and can keep a hand on the car door at the same time.
The pattern is cheerful, but more important distinctive, the number of times my wife has "lost" umbrellas when some one else picks them up is legendary in my house … in fact the kids all laughed when we took delivery of this one … she really does seem to lose a lot!
Overall My wife really likes the Mosiso Travel Umbrella. It is well made, and sturdy, ( I doubt she would risk it in a hurricane, but then she would not go out!) and the auto function as I say is a blessing for her.
She has use it many times in the last week since taking delivery and I am very happy to report that she is really pleased with it.
