A weekend Star-News story by Brian Charles includes some clarifying details from Alhambra city officials on the architectural inspiration behind a new 26-foot tall, 20-foot wide archway at Fremont Avenue and Valley Boulevard.
"Our original concept was to do something like the Arc de Triomphe," (Deputy City Manager Mary) Swink said.The stucco archway has been mistaken for the French iconic structure, but Alhambra is no French city.So the designers deferred to the Alhambra, the castle built by the Moors during their occupation of Spain. The archway is a replica of one of the gates of the castle, Swink added.

Father Albert is recognized as one of the top leaders among Hispanic-Americans
The family grows
A special announcement
With praise and thanksgiving to God, the source of all life, we announce that we have been blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby boy! Our son will be named Alberto Felipe Cutié, in honor of both of his grandfathers.
We thank everyone for their constant expressions of love and for your prayers!
Father Albert and Mrs. Ruhama Cutié.

FATHER ALBERT OFFERS UNIQUE REFLECTIONS - www.mamaslatinas.com
New York, NY (January 24, 2012)- Today, CafeMom launched MamasLatinas (www.mamaslatinas.com) the first bilingual website to serve Hispanic mothers living in the United States. The site launch comes at an apt time for a growing audience - by 2014, one in four moms online will be Hispanic. Additionally, 92 percent of Hispanic moms across the acculturation spectrum believe there is not currently a website that clearly meets their needs, according to a major national study of Hispanic moms conducted by CafeMom.*
MamasLatinas is integrating unique site programming in a way unprecedented among Hispanic sites. MamasLatinas will feature prominent and diverse Hispanics as guest bloggers - during its first month welcoming television and radio show host Father Albert Cutié, television host and novelist Leila Cobo, and early childhood expert and People en Espanol parenting columnist Jeannette Torres Alvarez. Community programming will initially include an interactive challenge for moms to "spice up their love lives and improve communication" leading up to Valentine's Day, as well as a live viewing party of awards show Univision's Premio Lo Nuestro, a contest celebrating Dominican Independence Day, and live chats with top Latin celebrities.
With thanksgiving to God, the giver of all life, my wife and I announce the birth of our beautiful baby daughter Camila Victoria Cutié.
We also take this opportunity to thank our family, church community and friends for your love and support. Your prayers and best wishes are truly appreciated.
There is great joy in being a Father, who is also a "father." We are truly blessed!
Father Alberto and Ruhama Cutié
'Padre Alberto' is received as a priest of The Episcopal Church
[Episcopal News Service]On May 29, a year and a day after he announced he was officially leaving the Roman Catholic priesthood to join the Episcopal Church, Father Alberto Cutié was received as a priest in the Episcopal Church. In a joyous bilingual service at Church of the Resurrection, Biscayne Park, Florida, where Cutié has served as lay pastor since Pentecost 2009, Diocese of Southeast Florida Bishop Leo Frade received him as an Episcopal priest and instituted him as priest-in-charge of the congregation.
A congregation of several hundred, including diocesan and ecumenical clergy, packed the small church. In addition to Frade, Bishop Julio Holguin of the Dominican Republic and retired Diocese of Venezuela Bishop Onell Soto, both friends and mentors to Cutié, assisted at the altar.
As a Roman Catholic priest, Cutié was well known nationally and throughout Latin America when photos of him and Ruhama Buni Canellis, whom he married last June, kissing on a beach appeared in early May 2009 in a Spanish-language publication. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami removed Cutié from St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church, Miami Beach, where he was priest-in-charge. Cutié had also served as general director and president of Pax Catholic Communications, a multimedia ministry of the archdiocese, appeared frequently on radio and television and wrote an advice column on relationship issues for El Nuevo Herald.
When Cutié and Canellis were received into the Episcopal Church a year ago, Frade said that Cutié's decision to serve as a priest in the Episcopal Church came after a two-year journey of discernment, and that the diocese would begin to use his gifts and skills as he followed the year-long process of preparation to be received as an Episcopal priest.
In his homily at the reception and installation service, Frade reminded the congregation "what this ceremony is not about." He noted that Cutié was already ordained, and had completed the necessary training and had made, a few minutes earlier, the necessary promise "to conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church."
"I also want to make sure you know that we don't come here with a triumphant attitude because Father Alberto has become an Episcopalian," Frade cautioned. "I have always said that the road from Rome to Canterbury or from Canterbury to Rome is quite busy most of the time, like I-95 at rush hour."
He noted that Cutié continued to follow a call to the priesthood that he received as a teenager, after realizing "little by little ... that your beliefs were more like an Anglican than a Roman."
"Welcome, Albert, to this branch of Christ's Church. You may not be a Roman now, but you are still a priest in God's catholic church."
Then, after more than a year away from the altar, Cutié celebrated his first Eucharist as an Episcopal priest. Later he admitted he was "more nervous than at my very first Mass."
After the service the Ven. Tom Bruttell, diocesan archdeacon for transitional ministries, recalled that Cutié had asked Frade and the archdeacons a year ago to give him a tough assignment. Resurrection was just that -- a church that, as the bishop said then, had "fallen on hard times." There was no priest, Sunday attendance had dwindled to 20 or 30, finances were grim, and buildings and grounds were in disrepair.
During the past year, with Cutié as lay pastor, assisted and mentored by a retired priest, the Rev. Howard Stowe, there are now two Sunday services, English and Spanish, with combined attendance of about 250 each week. Mirroring the north Miami-Dade community, the congregation is a mix of white Anglo, African-American, Hispanic, West Indian and Haitian. There's a mid-week Adult Christian Education program, led by Cutié, and growing ministries for children and youth. You can visit their website at: www.churchoftheresurrection.org
EPPN pide la suspensión temporal de las deportaciones de estudiantes
[Episcopal News Service] El 29 de abril, la Episcopal Public Policy Network (Red Episcopal para Políticas Públicas, EPPN, por sus siglas en inglés) emitió una alerta sobre políticas en la que se exhortaba a los episcopales a abogar activamente por una suspensión temporal de las deportaciones de estudiantes que calificarían para continuar sus estudios en Estados Unidos bajo los términos de la propuesta Ley de Desarrollo, Ayuda y Educación para Inmigrantes Menores de Edad (DREAM, por sus siglas en inglés).
La alerta pide a los episcopales que escriban a Janet Napolitano, secretaria de Seguridad Nacional, para decirle que "no otorgarles el estatus legal a estos niños no sólo los perj3udica a ellos, sino que priva a Estados Unidos de futuras generaciones de ciudadanos, innovadores, emprendedores y servidores públicos dedicados". La suspensión temporal de las deportaciones sería "un paso en la dirección correcta" hacia una "reforma migratoria justa y humana", indica el texto sugerido para la carta dirigida a Napolitano.
La alerta explicaba que el proyecto de ley (S.729/H.R.1751) es una "legislación bipartidista que daría la oportunidad de legalizar su estatus a jóvenes de buen carácter moral, que han vivido en EE.UU. al menos cinco años y que se han graduado de la preparatoria". A continuación, una lista de los proponentes y co-proponentes del proyecto de ley en el Senado y en la Cámara de Representantes.
Los estudiantes calificarían para obtener un estatus condicional de residente permanente durante seis años si ingresaron a Estados Unidos antes de los 16 años, han vivido en EE.UU. al menos cinco años antes de la aprobación de la Ley DREAM y cuentan con un diploma de preparatoria, de acuerdo con la alerta de EPPN. El estatus de residente permanente estaría disponible al finalizar dos años de educación superior o servicio militar, y los términos de la propuesta de ley excluyen a los estudiantes con antecedentes penales o una baja deshonrosa de las fuerzas armadas.
"En lugar de castigar a los estudiantes por acciones emprendidas en su nombre y más allá de su control, la Ley DREAM ofrecería un proceso estricto pero justo por medio del cual podrían conseguir un estatus legal", señaló la alerta.

And, no questions are left as to "do i have all the right parts"! Easy to use By Tim on 4/15/2015 Tim would recommend this product to a friend I used an old activated carbon jug, putting it together was easy thanks to the video. Works great!! Very nice By Andrew on 4/13/2015 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend Very nice kit. The first couple nights, the siphon somehow broke and the drip stopped. But since then it's been pretty much solid every time I try to use it. I assume it was a user error, so I can't fault the product. Drips slowly and makes using kalkwasser very easy. Works as a makeshift ATO for my system, too. Great Product By Ric on 12/30/2014 Ric would recommend this product to a friend Product works as described. Extremely easy to set up. Took less than 5 minutes to get done Touchy By Ray on 10/27/2014 Ray would recommend this product to a friend Easy to put together. Make sure you measure twice and cut once because once they go together it's really tough to get the fittings back apart. My only issue is that it is tought to adjust a slow drip with the valve. It goes from nothing to a fast drip with the littlest movement. Great Kit By Alex on 7/5/2014 Alex would recommend this product to a friend I initially purchased this kit to dose kalkwasser, but in the end I used it to automatically extract skimmate from my vertex skimmer into a dedicated container controlled by a Neptune Systems Apex. You get all the necessary parts to create a dosing container system then it's up to you to decide what you would rather use it for. Very versatile kit. Great kit By Moni on 6/26/2014 Moni would recommend this product to a friend This was such a great kit I ordered a second one. The parts are first-rate, and the how-to video made building a system a snap! Excellent combination of parts By JW on 5/27/2014 JW would recommend this product to a friend Works well as intended, but I must add that this is a great combo to make a number of great DIY projects. DIY Kalk Drip By sfal1967 on 1/24/2014 sfal1967 would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this product and received within three days, watched the video and put it together in no time at all. Very easy to use, my calcium level has maintained at 420 since I started my kalk drip. Very inexpensive from start to finish. Works just like the video. These guys are awesome! Great By Joe on 1/12/2014 Joe would recommend this product to a friend Item works exactly as described and unbelievably fast shipping! Thank you Great Beginner DIY Kalk Dripper By Jared on 11/28/2013 Jared would recommend this product to a friend I received this kit and the exact 2.5 Qt "OXO Good Grips Flip Lock Glass Canister" in the video above. Purchase here (http://goo.gl/eyDMc1) I also used the tapered bit in the video. Assembly took 15 minutes, and I was dosing in under 30 minutes. I say this is a good beginner method, because having the kalk in your ATO would be a lot less overall work. Since this review, I have switched to this method. The one tricky part about this kit is the flow valve. Most of the time it is either ON or OFF. You have to adjust it multiple times to get just the right drip. For my tank 1 drip every 5- 7 seconds was appropriate. It works well, and dosed the kalk perfect. On another note, I purchased 2 of these containers so I always have a backup kalk solution ready to drip. just swap the top, prime and go.

New Volvo V40
Volvo V40.
Volvo has taken another step towards reducing the pedestrian road toll in Australia, releasing a new hatchback with the world's first pedestrian airbag.
The airbag pops out from in front of the windscreen and acts as a buffer between the pedestrian and the hard points of the car's engine and body.
The technology comes standard on the new V40 hatch, which costs just $34,990.
Last year, 189 pedestrians were killed on Australian roads, about 15 per cent of the national road toll. And while the overall road toll dropped last year, pedestrian deaths rose by 11 per cent.
All four models in the V40 range receive the pedestrian airbag system, as well as Volvo's city-safe automatic braking program that can stop the car in an emergency at speeds of up to 50km/h.
Volvo's vehicle line director for the V40, Hakan Abrahamsson, says the pedestrian airbag allowed designers to create a safe car with a low nose and bonnet line.
"We achieved two things, a smart looking car and a very safe car," he says.
"It has a very fast silhouette."
As with the Lamborghini Aventador. Jaguar XJ, Range Rover Vogue and Lexus LFA supercars, the V40 has an interactive electronic display in place of a conventional dashboard.
The digital dash can be customised to display speed or fuel economy relay information from roadside speed signs.
It also gives turn-by-turn directions when fitted with optional navigation.
Volvo has imported the V40 with four engines, with a choice of petrol or diesel power in both four- and five-cylinder layouts.
The entry-level D2 diesel has a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder engine with 84kW and 270Nm, while the 2.0-litre, five-cylinder D4 diesel has much more punch with 130kW and 400Nm of go.
The smaller D2 has an official fuel figure of 4.2L/100km, while the five cylinder diesel uses 4.9L/100km.
The diesel engines are available with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, unlike the petrol pair which are only available in two-pedal form.
The V40 T4 has a turbocharged 2.0-litre, five-cylinder engine with 132kW and 300Nm, while the grunty T5 has a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder motor with outputs of 187kW and 360Nm. The range-topping, $49,990 T5 R-Design has an overboost function that gives drivers access to 400Nm of torque for short periods of time.
The V40 has a five-star crash safety rating and was singled out for praise by the ANCAP crash authority this year as one of the safest cars on sale.
Volvo says the V40 range is more economical and more powerful than comparable models from the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
The V40 comes with three years, or 60,000km in free scheduled servicing.
It is available in three trims, the base Kinetic, Luxury (with leather, satellite navigation and an upgraded stereo) and the sporty R-Design, exclusive to the T5. A $5000 driver assistance package brings a raft of features including blind spot and lane departure warning systems.
Volvo V40 pricing (before dealer and on road costs):
D2 84kW Kinetic manual from $34,990
D4 130kW Kinetic manual from $39,990
D4 130kW Kinetic auto from $41,990
T4 132kW Kinetic from $41,990
T4 132kW Luxury from $45,990
T5 187kW R-Design from $49,990

Values Voter 2013: War, War, Everywhere, and Not a Stop to Think
When Senator Rand Paul took the stage at last weekend's Values Voter Summit, it was clear he needed to up the stakes. Alongside a handful of other 2016 presidential contenders, Paul was auditioning for the far right's support in a speech to the annual conference of Christian conservatives hosted by the Family Research Council at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Making his task far more difficult was that fact that one of his rivals had just hit a home run.
Ted Cruz, the Republican senator largely blamed for orchestrating the government shutdown in a last-ditch effort to defund the Affordable Care Act, left the podium after a barn-burner speech punctuated by yells of protest from a handful of immigration activists who had entered the conference incognito. Each time the protesters interrupted Cruz's speech, the audience throbbed with exhilaration and rage. Cruz—who would go on to win the 2016 presidential straw poll—paced the stage like a charismatic preacher, pronouncing amid thunderous applause, "The greatest trick the left has ever played is to convince conservatives we cannot win." It was an appropriate tack for a man who's been widely criticized for leading congressional Republicans into an unwinnable shutdown crisis. At least in Cruz's mind, victory is still possible.
The air was much stiller after Paul took Cruz's place behind the microphone. But the Kentucky libertarian plunged in, dispensing with a few boilerplate jokes about the Senate Republicans' upcoming meeting at the White House before shifting to another conservative bête noire: Christian persecution in the Middle East and beyond. "Across the globe, Christians are under attack, almost as if we lived in the Middle Ages or under early pagan Roman rule," Paul said, referring to the waves of violence against Coptic Christians, who were targeted following the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. "This administration does nothing to stop it. And it can be argued that they're giving aid and comfort to those who tolerate these crimes."
The global war on Christianity is a perpetual topic on conservative talk shows, but it might seem like an odd choice for a politician like Paul, who's made his name as a libertarian Republican opposed to any kind of military intervention. As the Values Voter Summit unfolded over the next day and a half, however, it was clear that Paul was stepping onto a powerful rhetorical bandwagon. Throughout the summit, speaker after speaker bemoaned Christians' status as an embattled people, fighting everything from Islamic radicalism to a shadowy "war on football."
At least four speakers—from Ted Cruz to Matt Krause, a first-term Texas state legislator—placed themselves and the assembled crowds in the shoes of another embattled minority: Jews at the time of the Babylonian exile. "Like Esther, you were called for a time such as this," Cruz told his audience, echoing a line from the Book of Esther, the Biblical story of the queen who rescued the Persian Jews, a religious minority in exile, from the genocidal machinations of the king's adviser, Haman. It's a weird analogy, not least because it casts Obama (who is, of course, also a Christian, although that fact was not mentioned at the summit) as Haman, a member of the Amalekite tribe, the Jews' ancient foes. The allusion has other disturbing implications: At the end of the Book of Esther, the Jews, with the Persian king's blessing, roved throughout the kingdom, slaughtering their enemies.
The crowds ate it up. But why would messages about martyrdom and victimhood be so galvanizing to a group of people who are, by almost any measure possible, objectively not being persecuted? The president is Christian; Congress is overwhelmingly Christian; although there are no Protestants on the Supreme Court, a majority of the justices are Catholic. Even Paul's claims about a global war on Christianity ring false. Muslims who use the Internet—who make up about 18 percent of the global population, although this number varies widely from country to country—are increasingly likely to have favorable views of the West and Christianity, signaling that as Internet access expands, Muslim attitudes will grow friendlier. Two-thirds of Muslims worldwide share concerns about Islamic extremism.
Nevertheless, speeches like Paul's tap into a deep and lasting theme in Christian history. Persecution has been central to Christian identity since the days of the early church; for many believers, Jesus's death was the first in a never-ending torrent of assaults on their faith. But some religious historians argue that Christians' martyrdom complex was an invention, an attempt by early church leaders to legitimize violence against minority groups. Candida Moss, a professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame and the author of The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom, contends that this emphasis on victimhood has, for centuries, encouraged Christians to eschew moderation and disallow defeat. "Before Christianity, when you were under siege or out of political power, that was a sign that you had lost God's favor," Moss says. "That was something that Christianity changed. Persecution became a sign that you had the moral high ground. When you succeed, that's divine favor, and when you don't succeed, that's divine favor."
Paul, who came in fourth in the straw poll, may have erred by taking a "bigger is better" approach. For all his talk about persecuted Christians in Pakistan, Egypt, and Zanzibar, Paul never made the connection that the crowd really cared about—aligning these cases of actual persecution with the political marginalization of the Tea Party and the Religious Right.
Rather than accepting these trends, the Christian right is retreating into full martyr mode, prepared to deny—and defy—any cultural shifts that threaten its dominance. This strategy is enthusiastically shared by Tea Party Republicans, who, rather than offering a new conservative agenda, are working tirelessly to reverse Obamacare, a law that has already been implemented. The amped-up rhetoric at the summit—Ben Carson, the new darling of the Christian right, memorably declared that the Affordable Care Act is the worst thing to happen in the U.S. since slavery—cast Christians as noble and beleaguered soldiers in a holy war.
Faced with the Affordable Care Act—a piece of legislation that Cruz, Paul, and many other speakers at the Values Voter Summit lambasted as the beginning of the end for America—Tea Party Republicans refused to negotiate. Why should they, when facing a president bent on destroying the very fabric of American society? This martyr complex facilitates a strange reversal of logic: Calling on familiar Christian messages of persecution conveniently enables politicians like Cruz to argue that shutting down the government was an act of self-defense. "This language of persecution legitimizes violence under the rubric of acting in self-defense," Moss says. "In the Middle Ages, Christian leaders used the rhetoric of persecution and martyrdom to launch the First Crusade. Today, they're saying, 'Well, we may have shut down the government, but it was the other side's fault for providing health care.'"
Throughout the conference, speakers seemed to be competing to find yet more dire examples of Christian persecution. In a panel called "Standing Up to the Assaults on Our Faith," Rick Scarborough, a radical pastor who stridently opposes same-sex marriage—and contends that AIDS is God's judgment for immoral behavior—decried President Obama's "war on Christians," saying that that "believers are being persecuted in larger numbers than ever before." The tone was decidedly apocalyptic; later in the session, Janet Porter, the founder of a militant pro-life group called Faith2Action, darkly noted that "the last time men were given in marriage to men and women in marriage to women" was in the days of Noah. Gazing ominously at the hundred or so people assembled in the low-ceilinged room where the panel was being held, she added, "And we all know what happened then."
But the rhetoric kept coming back to one place: The need to crusade against Obama, a president hell-bent on destroying the nation. It was hard to find an attendee who didn't applaud Tea Party Republicans' intransigence or buy wholeheartedly into the notion that negotiation with Obama was futile. "I think the shutdown is awesome," says Kylie Unell, a sophomore at New York University who attended the conference. "To be honest, I think Obama is a sociopath. He tries to get revenge against anyone who disagrees with him or opposes him."
Christian conservatives leaders certainly can't argue that the cultural zeitgeist is on their side. Public opinion is quickly shifting on same-sex marriage and marijuana legalization, and it's increasingly difficult for the Christian right—once a powerful voting bloc—to sway a presidential election. In 2008 and 2012, Obama won the presidency with support from only one-quarter of white evangelical Protestants. There was a moment, after last year's election, when it seemed possible that the Christian right might try to moderate its message, in an attempt to draw in younger voters or Latinos in the next major race.
How long will the Christian conservative movement continue to fight reality, rather than adapting to it? There's no end in sight to the strategy of martyrdom and stubborn defiance. The power of the Christian-persecution narrative ensures that even if the architects of the shutdown are kicked out of office or a Democratic president is elected in 2016, these losses will only feed the rhetoric of martyrdom, which in turn will keep white Christian conservatives' resentments simmering. "If you believe you're Esther and God is guiding you to victory, why would you give up?" Moss says. "In times of struggle or perceived struggle, Christians constantly retreat to the idea that they're being persecuted, but they'll prevail. It really strikes a chord in the Christian, slightly self-indulgent perspective that when people disagree with us, they're attacking us."

Tea Party support ranges between 18-33% of the electorate. By moving radically to the right and threatening basic order and finacial stability, this fearsome minority is scaring the hell out of the rest of us. It is but a question of time, cost and pain to the rest of the nation, until the other two thirds puts these fanatics into a well deserved place of marginalized obscurity.

"Christians are under attack, almost as if we lived in the Middle Ages or under early pagan Roman rule?"
Is anyone at that gathering aware that, while pagan Romans did persecute Christians (although it was not continuous and universal, rather sporadic and usually local, which made it scarier), the MIDDLE AGES were when Christians were PERSECUTING EVERYONE ELSE! And fighting the Crusades against Muslims as well.
The behavior of America's most externally pious forms of Christianity, from the Puritans in New England to the extreme Evangelicals and Mormons, is one of fighting to get religious freedom FOR THEMSELVES, then upon attaining power, PERSECUTING EVERYONE ELSE. And that includes ONE ANOTHER.

I'm a lefty urban-coastal pro-choice gay-rights-supporting socialist college professor, but I can empathize, though not sympathize, with the way these Christian conservatives feel. They are NOT culturally dominant--at least they're very poorly represented amongst the culturally dominant--and the zeitgeist is definitely against them. I think it's a stretch to trace their martyr complex back to the Diocletian's persecution or the Book of Esther. It goes back to the 1960s and the beginnings of the class war between an increasingly squeezed white working class and the rising professional class then in college, which the Nixon administration promoted and exploited
I am caught in the DMZ in this Culture War, as someone who is demographically, professionally, and politically almost a stereotype of the "effete snob." But I am, anomalously, a religious believer--and even as a liberal Episcopalian I feel the heat, the anti-religious sentiment. Of course "martyrdom" is a hyperbole, and of course it's ridiculous to think Christians in the US are "persecuted." But conservative Christians ARE disrespected for their religious beliefs and affiliation--and there's a not negligible bit of class prejudice involved too. I can understand that: it still stings when I remember Obama's patronizing, anthropological take on people who "cling to guns and religion."

When a faith perspective such as the Judeo-Christian faith is coupled with the art of conflict (politics) it embeds the Christian faith as a political means rather a spiritual one. The Value Voters Summit's anti-gay religious industry uses the Judeo-Christian faith perspective to demean innocent people. So LGBT people, their families, friends, co-workers and the masses of younger Americans who feel such mistreatment is unjust then cast a vary wary eye toward the Judeo-Christian faith perspective. This is the legacy of the anti-gay faction of the Religious Right. When such groups or a political party makes such a mockery of the Christian faith, the chickens will come home to roost sooner or later. For the Republican Party, it is happening sooner. For the Christian church, it is coming later - but it is coming.

Making Room for People With Disabilities
by Patrick Brown
from State of Formation
Each person was different and each brought with them their own challenges and gifts. Some of them had significant language challenges and behavior problems that were hard to navigate. Some were capable of a relatively normal life with a job, social life, and real community. The major aspect of the person center planning process is dreaming. This is what seemed to be the most difficult part of the institutional environment. As much as these people were cared for and even happy to some extent, they had very few dreams for themselves and the only people in their lives were paid to be there and so no one had aspirations for these people beyond the most basic care. My mom and I had to stretch ourselves to think of dreams for these people we didn't even know. These individuals had been cut off from their families and natural relationships and put into a clinical environment that lacked the kind of creativity, which can only come from genuine relationships.
The experience has made me reflect on how important community is to human dignity and fulfillment. One of the most attractive aspects of organized religions is their capacity for community. When talking to these individuals about what they want out of life, participation is a faith community was a common desire. I've known many people with disabilities who have found strength and acceptance in their faith communities. My sister reads the bible more than anyone else I know. She always asks me about different characters and stories that shes been reading and I don't always know the passages she is referring to. She is someone that takes her faith seriously and yet our home parish has no program to support her and so she attends a bible study at another church. Christian congregations generally don't have a good grasp on how to incorporate people with disabilities. The bible study that my sister goes to is a special group, only for people with developmental delays and cognitive disabilities. There are a lot of programs out there with similar models. The problem is that they simply create a separate but equal kind of system where people with disabilities have to participate in a parallel congregation. I haven't seen any programs that have really incorporated people with disabilities in to the main parish programming.

Tonyblack wrote:In fact, it's a shame the designer of the call boxes doesn't sue the Beeb.
In 1996, the BBC applied for a trademark to use the blue police box design in merchandising associated with Doctor Who. In 1998, the Metropolitan Police filed an objection to the trademark claim, maintaining that they owned the rights to the police box image. In 2002 the Patent Office ruled in favour of the BBC, pointing out that there was no evidence that the Metropolitan Police—or any other police force—had ever registered the image as a trademark. In addition, the BBC had been selling merchandise based on the image for over three decades without complaint by the police.

Series 7 is a long way off, but info has been trickling through over the past several months. Here's a compilation of what we know about the series so far.
Note: This post will be continually updated as more info emerges over the coming months until broadcast.
LAST UPDATED: 29 February 2012
Begins Autumn 2012 (Filming started 20th February 2012)
13 episodes + 2012 Christmas Special
Other notes: It is still not clear if all 14 episodes will air in 2012. There has been conflicting info. Originally BBC Controller Danny Cohen said not all episodes will be shown, but Steven Moffat later seemingly denied that this was the case. In January, Moffat promised just at least 14 episodes, but didn't specify when they would air.

Strange, but true: In the early '60s, some hot shoes were actually racing Corvettes competitively, and Chevrolet knew it and even supported the activity with heavy-duty and high-performance parts installed on the assembly line or were available over the counter. Who'd have thunk it?
For 1962, Chevrolet assembled only 246 Vettes (out of a production total of 14,531) with the Regular Production Option (RPO) 687, heavy-duty suspension package-HD brakes and shocks and quick-ratio steering-for an upcharge of $333.60.
Two HD brake options were offered. RPO 686 had 11x2-inch cast-iron drums and sintered-iron brake shoes. RPO 687 offered the same thing, but with an additional 10 square inches of lining area, finned brake drums, and leather air scoops that came to be known as "elephant ears" attached to the backing plates to help cool the brakes. Wider 15x5.5-inch wheels (versus the standard 15x5-inch rims) with small hubcaps aided brake cooling as well as handling. Other performance-oriented options included a four-speed transmission ($188.30), a Posi-traction differential ($43.05), a direct-flow exhaust (no charge), and four 327-cid engine choices, ranging up to the 360hp fuel-injected version.
Dealer information for RPO 687 stated, "Not recommended for street use." Most of the 246 were ordered for racing, and, consequently, very few survive with their original equipment. Many were wrecked, and most of the survivors were converted to standard brakes after a hard track career.
That's why Iowa Corvette collector Gene West felt fortunate to become the second owner of this '62 Corvette convertible with RPO 687 and fuel injection. It had never been raced. The original owner was from the Phoenix area and apparently wanted the performance options to make his mountain drives to college in Flagstaff more comfortable and interesting. Three years worth of college parking stickers came with the car when Gene bought it in 1980. Ten years later, after completing three other Corvette restorations, he finally got around to doing a complete ground-up on this '62 over a two-year period.
Besides the rare racing option, this Vette is unusual in that the original buyer apparently preferred the "boulevard" look over a racing appearance-so the dealer ordered it with the standard 15x5-inch wheels and Corvette full-wheel covers rather than the 15x5.5-inch wheels and small hubcaps usually seen on the racing versions. Gene re-shod the '62 with original-spec 6.70x15-inch Firestone whitewalls.
The 327 engine was turned over to Bert Hillers for a rebuild. The 360hp fuelie features a compression ratio of 11.25:1 with forged aluminum pistons, 1.94-inch intake and 1.50-inch exhaust valves, and a high-lift, long-duration solid lifter camshaft. A dual-point ignition with no vacuum advance sparked the hi-po engine, and the fan was temperature-controlled to minimize drag. The Rochester fuel injection introduced in 1957 underwent slight changes for 1962 to improve cold starting and warm up.
Although either four-speed could be ordered, the close-ratio version was usually supplied with the high-output engine, as was the 3.70:1 rearend ratio.
The body restoration and Roman Red acrylic enamel paint job were done by Corvette Nebraska. Gene himself installed the original red vinyl upholstery and matching carpet.
Gene's restored '62 has scored a near-perfect 97.3 points in NCRS judging. He is content to get it out for an occasional Sunday drive and to take home show awards. But it's also nice to know that an almost identical example, tested by Hot Rod Magazine in 1961, turned in a quarter-mile performance of 105.14 mph in 13.89 seconds with the legendary Mickey Thompson at the controls!
