Call for Directors 2010
The Nominating Committee | 2010-09-13
September 13, 2010
Dear PCA Parents and Alumni Members,
Call for Directors
The PCA Board would like to open the call for directors from September 13, 2010 to October 10, 2010. This year, two (2) Parent Directors from the Parent Members and one (1) Alumni Director from the Alumni Members are to be elected. The election of directors will be finalized in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will be held in November 2010.
This coming year is a year of building: building our faith in the Lord together, building our care for the PCA families, and building the new site for the school. The Lord encouraged Zerubbabel to build the Temple with these words:
Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6)
Serving on the PCA Board requires total submission to the Lord; trust and obey is the key. There are many issues that can only be resolved in Gods way and in Gods timing. A prime example is to wait for the decision of the Ontario Municipal Board on the appeal against the zoning approval for the Renfrew site. We waited with perseverance and now we rejoice in the favorable decision received.
Please pray and consider carefully your commitment to serve God in the capacity of a PCA Director for a term of three years. PCA Directors will not receive any remuneration other than the reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in performing their duties.
Parent Director will be elected by the Parent Members; Alumni Director will be elected by the Alumni Members. The timeline for election of directors is as follows:
Call for director candidates Sep 13 to Oct 10
Interview of director candidates Oct 11 to Oct 24
Posting of bio and video Oct 25 to Oct 29
Voting online or by paper copy Oct 30 to two working days before AGM
According to the PCA By-Law sub-section 6.03, each director shall be a Christian who maintains the qualifications described in I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-16. The current PCA Board in conjunction with the Nominating Committee reserves the right to assess the eligibility of an applicant to stand for election.
All applicants must register as a member of PCA.
For membership registration, please go to: http://pca.memberlodge.org/.
For Application form, please go to: http://pca.memberlodge.org/, log on to the Membership Section and select Call for Directors.
Candidates of PCA Directors are required to complete the following by October 10, 2010:
374 Sheppard Avenue East
Toronto, Ontario, M2N 3B6
In the past year, the PCA Board has been encouraged by three words: humble, united, and forgiving. We are constantly reminded by the Lords requirement:
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
If you sense Gods calling to walk with Him, to serve in the PCA ministry, please respond in obedience and faith.
Please pray that the Lord will raise up people of His own choosing to serve on the Board.
In His Service,
The Nominating Committee

At PAX East 2012, I had something I really wanted to see: the Neverwinter MMO demo. I went to the Perfect World media event with big hopes and dreams about what they had done with one of my favorite games. They said that first, they would show us some F2P game called RaiderZ, and I admittedly rolled my eyes. I didn't want any time wasted between me and Neverwinter. However, I am now eagerly awaiting RaiderZ instead after what I saw!
What really caught me about RaiderZ is that it has a lot of familiar F2P game aspects (to me, all F2P UIs look the exact same… and some paid games look like F2P quality, too!) but also has a few tricks up its sleeve. One fun part is something they made sure to point out: there is no "tab targeting." You click to swing and if you swing at the air, you hit the air! It's not a new concept, but it is one that I enjoy until my finger cramps from all the mouse action. I didn't really get a feel for how ranged characters worked but I'm sure it was along the same lines!
I love how the boss system works. It really reminded me of older console game boss monsters, ones you'd find in Megaman or Sonic. They had special attacks that had visual cues and ran through semi-predictable movements. When the giant frog would lean back, you knew it was going to lunge at you to try to eat you, so you knew to dodge. When the giant frog jumped, you knew it would fall if it missed you, so you knew you'd have an opportunity to beat on it while it was down. Typical raid bosses are like this, too, yet something felt different about the giant frog we fought in the demo versus the Hammerknell bosses I face every week. I guess the difference is that I could play Raiderz with just Ferrel and me on a lazy weekend evening and get all the fun of downing a raid boss without the requirement of a lot of other people and schedule coordination. With RaiderZ, Ferrel and I could just take up arms, head off, and feel accomplished when we killed the giant frog!
They also had a fun aspect where mobs can drop their weapons or pieces of themselves for a bit of dynamic interaction. A mage can kill a troll with a giant club and if the troll drops the club, they can pick it up and run around for a short duration and beat face with it! The skill hotbars are tied to weapons, so when this happens, your hotbar switches to match the giant club or gnarled staff or whatever you pick up. Crabs, for example, can drop their shells, which you apparently eat to regain health, although eating shells doesn't really translate to health in my mind, so maybe it was crab meat and not its shell!
The class/skill system is another thing that I enjoyed from what information we got. It seemed to be a mostly classless game where your class is more determined by where you spend your skill points, which reminds me of Ultima Online, a beloved game in my book. I will want to try all sorts of combinations to see how they interact; a sword-and-board fighter with a bit of sorcery on the side, for example, is something that strikes my fancy.
The main thing to remember about F2P games is that they are never truly free to play. Developers need to be paid! There is always a cash shop of some sort and usually, these cash shops have direct impact on gameplay. RaiderZ will also have a cash shop, though what items this shop will have still seems to be up in the air right now. When the question was raised about resetting and re-assigning skill points, the possibility that such a thing would be available through this cash shop was mentioned. I am of the mind that cash shops are fine for the impatient wallets, but there should be some way to get the same items through regular gameplay. I doubt RaiderZ will do this as most F2P games don't, but it would be awesome if they did!
I think this game will definitely be something I try. I want to see if I can be a fighter-sorcerer. I want to see how well Ferrel can make his ideal plate-wearing battle cleric so we can fight side-by-side (and even if he can't make it, he'll probably stand beside me in the face of danger anyway)! It seems like it will be a lot of fun to play, even if it doesn't become my primary game.
Raiderz Details
-The max group size is 8 with two group raids.
-We were told that this particular game is intended to be hard. Soloing will be difficult.
-There will be crafting.
-PvP will be dual based

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A hearing is set in Richmond Circuit Court on a lawsuit challenging lethal injection in Virginia.
After hearing legal arguments Wednesday, a judge will decide whether the Department of Corrections must prove in court that it has authority to conduct executions.
Alexandria lawyers Meghan Shapiro and Christopher Leibig filed a lawsuit in April claiming that Virginia executioners who inject condemned inmates with lethal doses of drugs are illegally practicing medicine, pharmacy and anesthesiology without licenses.
The Department of Corrections argues in court papers that an execution is not a medical procedure because the purpose is to end a life, not save one. The department also says state law explicitly directs it to carry out death sentences.

Amnesia Variety Show. 853 Valencia St. SF. 7 PM. (Art by. Chris Duncan).
In the foggy palace of Berkeley, ten minutes from the movie theater, down a gentle slop of matted grass and up a procession of man-laid stones licked with mossy macula is a log cabin. This redwood cabin: sapping, rugged and quaint, stands crystallized in steamy ambiguity. No fence, no mailbox, an empty yard beyond a large, unmarked stone rumored to rest upon a late bear. The chimney pumps carbon triple time, a never-ceasing eruption of silver plum. Every night 'round dusk the cabin's inhabitant appears: an ice-eyed, Viking-visage mountaineer named Roman. In his hands is a machine.
The machine is a curious thing. It rests on its side coiled with coils, compressed with springs, washed with washers, screwed with screws, polished with polish, rivets and bolts and copper and steel and nickel. It looks like it performs a number of functions with its abstract mid 20th century design but it doesn't. The machine has no basis of utility. It's pretty, clever, inside is a pulsing core of gold and every day something is added or removed as an organic, inorganic piece of modern ingenuity. Still, the machine has no purpose beyond pleasure, pride and gratification. The machine simply is and every night Roman Leo takes it out to be gawked at, measures its success and returns to his cabin to work on it again.
I Feel You Pulling For Me, Especially in the Bathroom – OH!
The machine started over a year ago in little galleries on 7th and Folsom, Larkin and O'Farrell, Columbus and Kearny. The galleries are where machinist show off their inventions and improvements. Roman's machine is well regarded in the community; some enjoy the crude oil lube, some enjoy the well-structured design, some enjoy the encroaching rust, some like the shiny passive aggressiveness. It's a hard machine to compartmentalize. It's also made of metal.
I Feel I've Wasted the Last Ten Years of My Life
Roman wasn't always a machinist, he used to live in Ohio. Swimming, fratting and facing rejection in barber shops, Roman was the any man. He collected compact discs and went on measured adventures. Eventually he became married and he never really thought of machines, let alone being an inventor. But machinists are born, they possess a certain mind and it's hard to ignore the call to build especially when blueprints inexplicitly start tracing themselves on napkins and notebooks.
The rest is undoubtedly a mystery. How did Roman become an everyman machinist living in a log cabin in Berkeley? How does Roman cultivate an insane work ethic that leaves his fingers cut, burned and covered in metallic drippings? How does Roman take white guilt and create white gold?
Just Trying To Get Better, Y'Know
Roman operates under a constantly thinking, critical mind. Shifting through a series of misleading poses; he's consistently analyzing himself, colleagues and the encompassing environment enveloping them. The brain can get away from Roman while observing the great inventors passing through San Francisco. As he observes the brilliant machines of O'Neal and Burr, Roman finds himself in doubt. This sensation hardly lasts; it lacks the mass to alter the gravitational pull of talent and determination. Confidence is built within the machine; it helps turn the gears and spin the turbines as Roman moves towards his purpose beyond the lodge.
Roman Leo is a stand-up comedian. He's extremely funny and possesses a beard. For any inquiry into Roman's schedule please continue to visit this site as Mr. Leo detests self-promotion.
Thank You For Reading

The crew of The Crest discovered a 26ft-long,three-ton minke whale snared in their equipment at Kilbrannon Sound off Peninver. They believe it was already dead when caught.
Crowds gathered to look at the giant of the sea after it was landed at Campbeltown New Quay around midday.

No. No, they can't.

Fun times with awesome people!
I normally don't post…ever haha. Especially not really about my life. But it has been a while and it's 6:30am and I'm having trouble sleeping…so why not!
Today (Saturday) was one of the best days/nights I've had…ever! Started the day off with a quick lunch at Chick-fil-a with JTong. Then we headed to UCLA to watch MCIA perform at Battle of The Pledges! Ran into Evan and Geoff there and it was nice getting to talk/catch up with them real quick, while also trying to convince them to come back to GRV =). Got to see Alvina perform with Team Ferosha, what a beast she is workin' that mermaid outfit thingy haha. And it was nice finally being able to see a live performance of MCIA's winter quarter set. They make me proud to be an alumni! Takes me back to my roots and I'll forever be thankful for MCIA for molding me into the person and dancer I am today. As long as I'm able to, I'll always try and support and give back to the team that started it all and gave me so much.
After the performance, we all went to eat around the westwood area. Mongolian BBQ, so bomb! Then some hookah at Habibi cafe before heading over to the MCIA/Team Ferosha/NSU Modern/IVL/Everyone mixer for a bit.
But the real highlight of the night for me at least, was leaving LA and heading to Carson for the GRV/CADC Mixer! Although I got there pretty late, I'm glad I went. It was fun meeting people and just getting to spend time with GRV heads since I really never get a chance to cause of scheduling conflicts and what not. After the mixer, PJ was nice enough to open up his house and he and Austin made some bomb food to feed us. I really do love being a part of GRV, and am so blessed to have the opportunity to dance with so many talented and amazing people. I don't really get to hang out with them much but when I do it's always a lot of fun. I feel bad and at times kind of sad that I don't see GRV people outside of rehearsals too much because everyone seems to be getting closer as the year progresses and I definitely do want to be a part of that. But even though I don't get to hang out with everyone as much as I would like to, I always feel welcome and always a part of the family when I do get to come out to GRV functions. And that's something that I am truly grateful for. Even if it is a slower process for me, I'm glad I can continue to keep forming and building new bonds with my GRV fam.
I guess the purpose of this post was just to be thankful for my life and for everyone that's a part of it.
Fin. 7:00am. Dang. Goodnight.

To DIE for! Now don't count your chickens before they are hatched. You may think, Buttermilk Pie? Trust me, it is AWESOME! The base recipe for this Buttermilk pie is from the Royers Cafe Cookbook. Their pies are now trademarked and they are NOT giving away any secrets that I am aware of! They now have another Buttermilk pie that has chocolate chips and pecans in it and has been known to send people over the edge! I am not sure how much they add to theirs BUT this is how much I have found works nicely. People come from all over just to visit this cafe and eat some pie. Royer's is a very well known little restaurant in Round Top which is just down the road from my hometown of Carmine. Both towns are VERY tiny towns that together MIGHT have a pop. of 200. If you are ever around this neck of the woods make sure you stop in and have some pie. Bud is almost always at the door ready to pick on you and make you feel right at home! Royers has even been seen on Food Network's, Road Tasted! Don't fret though, if you can't come to Texas, Texas can come to you! Royers ships their pies all over!

I bought this facial cleanser after seeing many positive reviews. I have combination skin, oily and dry, oh and eczema so you know my skin is SUPER dry. Unfortunately, I guess I am sensitive to some of the ingredients in Cerave, it gave me horrible clogged/congested pores, and made my face itchy even after I moisturized it. Last night instead of using the cerave foaming wash I went back to my Neutrogena Fresh foaming cleanser and overnight my skin recovered so much.
I bought this after saw good reviews. unfortunately it gave me horrible break outs even from the first time using it. Now I only use it to clean my make up brush. If you have acne prone skins stay away from CERAVE
After hearing and reading good reviews on this product I decided to purchase it. I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin. i liked the packaging. it came with a pump that you can open and lock. The cleanser had no scent and would foam up very nicely. It removed my makeup. I started breaking out by the next day I thought it was normal but for two weeks I saw new pimples. i decided to buy the cerave moisturing lotion to see if it would help. It made it worst so returned both items. Very disappointed.
Cerave is one of the brands that is no-fuss no-muss. It isn't the prettiest looking container, but it always gets the job done. My dermatologist recommended I use this product if I didn't feel like spending a ton of money on a cleanser. I like to cut corners financially w my cleansers so that way I save the money to put towards the overnight creams, serums etc. I didn't notice any kind of scent and I keep returning to it over and over again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was really liking this cleanser a lot. It seems to remove everything so well from my face and foams good but it broke me out. Big bummer.
I like to use this during the hotter, humid months here in Florida. During the winter, or someone with dry skin probably would be too drying. But in these summer/fall months it helps to keep me oil-free for a bit longer than without it. I also prefer to use this at night if I had a lot of makeup and pair it with CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream.
Texture: Clear, sticky (not overly) gel-like consistency. It works the best if the face is really wet and I put a little bit of water in my hands and foam it up there a bit first. Otherwise, not so much foaming.
Scent: Not noticable.
Finish: Leaves my face feeling clean but not tight. Just right.
Effects: Paired with a moisturizers afterwords my face feels very soft and smooth. Not dry or tight but not greasy/shiny. I have less breakouts and clearer looking skin.
I love CeraVe! My skin hasn't looked this healthy and clear for years! I wish I had tried these products first before the "higher end" one's and saved a lot of money.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have always had dry cheeks and a somewhat oily nose, chin, and forehead. Hydrating cleansers dont make my skin feel clean and oil eliminating cleansers are too drying for me. This is the perfect combination. At first, I broke out in little bumps on my forehead, but with time I have the best skin I have ever had during my teen years. Also, the bottle lasts forever!

More reviews by ironicsymphonic
I've been dealing with facial congestion and tiny little breakouts due to dryness and generally fussy, sensitive skin. I realized how bad my alkaline natural bar soap was for my skin (finally!) and tried this cleanser in hopes of achieving the proper pH balance on my face. Unfortunately, this didn't really help. It didn't really worsen anything, but my skin remained flaky and tight (for me, mostly on my chin and forehead). Yes, I was moisturizing with Cerave facial moisturizer, which has served me pretty well in the past, but after a fair trial of several weeks, the condition of my skin hadn't changed, and I continued to feel a little tight and dry.
Note: I KNOW that Cerave makes a cleanser for dry skin, but I don't have dry skin - it's a tad oily in places and flaky in other places but not parched at all - just super sensitive and finicky. It can literally look shiny and feel tight at the same time. It does NOT react well to creamy milky products and I don't dare touch their other cleanser with a ten foot pole. Nope. "Know thyself," they say, and I do. I discontinued this and am using the rest of the bottle as a shaving gel on my legs/underarms (which works fine, but after a rinse feels drying in those areas too! The skin there is perfectly normal.)
Picked this up trying to find a cheaper alternative to Purity. The previous reviewer had success but unfortunately I did not. My aging skin is normal - dry and this stuff seems geared towards normal - oily. I was left feeling a little drier then I am used to. Also my skin felt slightly tacky afterwards. I don't think it's a bad product at all. Liked that it's easy to find and affordable but it just didn't work for my particular skin at this time. If your skin is like mine I use Purity when I wear make-up and have great results but I also use Derma-E hydrating cleanser and highly recommend that one if this product didn't work for you.
Replaced Purity
I used Purity for years, then I started my search for a cleanser that I could pick up at the drug store. I tried this cleanser after reading all of the great reviews, and they are right. This is a great, gently cleanser. It removes my makeup without stripping my skin. I have been using this product for a few years now, and I never even consider trying anything else.

Peter Joshua Sculthorpe AO OBE (born 29 April 1929) is an Australian composer. Much of his music has resulted from an interest in the music of Australia's neighbours as well as from the impulse to bring together aspects of native Australian music with that of the heritage of the West. He is known primarily for his orchestral and chamber music, such as Kakadu (1988) and Earth Cry (1986), which evoke the sounds and feeling of the Australian bushland and outback. He has also written 17 string quartets, using unusual timbral effects, works for piano, and two operas. He has stated that he wants his music to make people feel better and happier for having listened to it. He has typically avoided the dense, atonal techniques of many of his contemporary composers. His work has often been distinguished by its distinctive use of percussion.
Sculthorpe was born and grew up in Launceston, Tasmania. His mother (Edna) was passionate about English literature and his father (Joshua) loved fishing and nature.
He began writing music at age nine in 1938, after having his first piano lesson. As a young composer, he independently discovered the whole-tone scale, and was disappointed when he learned that others, such as Debussy, had already used it. By the age of 13, he had decided to make a career of music, despite many (especially his father) encouraging him to enter different fields, because he felt the music he wrote was the only thing that was his own. He studied at the Melbourne Conservatorium from 1946 to 1950, then returned to Tasmania. Unable to make any money as a composer, he went into business, running a hunting, shooting and fishing store in Launceston (Sculthorpe's) with his brother Roger. His Piano Sonatina was performed at the ISCM Festival in Baden-Baden in 1955[1] (the piece had been rejected for an ABC competition because it was "too modern"). He won a scholarship to study at Oxford University, studying under Egon Wellesz, but left before completing his doctorate because his father was gravely ill. He wrote his first mature composition, Irkanda IV[2], in his father's memory.[1]
In 1963 he became a lecturer at the University of Sydney, and has remained there more or less ever since, where he is now an emeritus professor. In the mid 1960s he was composer-in-residence at Yale University.[1] In 1965 he wrote Sun Music I for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra's first overseas tour, on a commission from Sir Bernard Heinze, who asked for "something without rhythm, harmony or melody". Neville Cardus, after the premiere of Sun Music I, wrote that Sculthorpe was set to "lay the foundations of an original and characteristic Australian music".[3] In 1968 the Sun Music series was used for the ballet Sun Music, choreographed by Sir Robert Helpmann, which gained wide international attention. In the late 1960s, Sculthorpe worked with Patrick White on an opera about Eliza Fraser, but White chose to terminate the artistic relationship.[1] Sculthorpe subsequently wrote an opera (music theatre), Rites of Passage (1972-73), to his own libretto, using texts in Latin and the Australian indigenous language Arrernte. Another opera Quiros followed in 1982. The orchestral work Kakadu was written in 1988.
In 2003, the SBS Radio and Television Youth Orchestra gave the premiere of Sydney Singing, a composition by Sculthorpe for clarinet solo (Joanne Sharp), harp solo (Tamara Spigelman), percussion solo (Peter Hayward) and string orchestra. This performance was released on SBS DVD in July 2005.
His Requiem is possibly his most serious, substantial work to date.It was premiered in March 2004 in Adelaide by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Adelaide Chamber Singers conducted by Richard Mills, withdidgeridoo soloist William Barton, to critical acclaim.
Sculthorpe is a represented composer of the Australian Music Centre and is published by Faber Music Ltd. He was only the second composer to be contracted by Faber, after Benjamin Britten.[1]

Yes Wednesday came and I went to accupuncture and discussed the series of injections that I and dh decided I should have. (5 in each knee , one a week for 5 weeks). I have read about it online and think it just may help them (maybe your dad tried it?) It's called : Hyalart. Only thing is the insurance doesn't cover the cost and it's expensive: hmmmm about Euro700 or $1000... but if it helps me? (and it can help to save the joint .... that's the most important thing at this point). Maybe I will start next week.
|Thu, 03-10-2011 - 3:49am
Bottom line is we try everything! My Dad just had a knee replacement which sounds as if it could be in your future Suzan. Thinking you are a little young yet. Everything crossed that the acupuncture works! I have heard good things about it!

Went to the gym Monday and Wednesday this week and did my own thing. A bit slack on calories this week but am happy I have done things towards getting my fitness back!
|Thu, 03-10-2011 - 6:11am
Well I'm not even thinking of knee replacement,, I'm not there yet and hope never to be,, hence the injections to try to build it all back up again.... ;O)

How did you go to the gym with that toe/joint obstacle... is it a tad bit better? Be careful....

I forgot to come here and make my confession last week. It's two weeks in a row now that at my Tuesday night weigh-in at TOPS, I gained 0.6 lbs each time!! We're beefing up our walking exercise and I'm doing extra with my hand weights, leg lifts and stretches and am in hopes that next Tuesday will be better!
Hope things are going well with you gals, off to read all about now!

Fantastic!! I have gone through this process several times with your team and my previous programmer in the past year or two.

I would like to thank you (eGrove) and your team for persisting with it and getting it over the line. Due to the complexity of design a room it led to many delays.

A Melanoma Cell, with mitochondria in pink and endoplasmic reticulum in yellow, surrounding a dark nucleus. Donald Bliss and Sriram Subramaniam of the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine created the image by "sandblasting" the cell with ions of the element gallium.
Won an honorable mention in National Geographic's Science Image of the Year, 2008.
Melanoma Drug's Link to Other Skin Cancers
The recently approved drug vemurafenib (Zelboraf) has been hailed as a breakthrough in the treatment of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. But roughly one-quarter of patients who take the medication develop a troublesome side effect: secondary skin cancers called squamous cell carcinomas.
Now, a new study by researchers at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues identifies the specific genetic mechanism that causes this side effect.
"What we found is that vemurafenib blocks the mutation that makes the melanoma grow, but when patients have skin cells with another mutation that's probably induced from sun exposure, there the drug has the exact opposite effect and causes these squamous cell cancers to grow," said Dr. Antoni Ribas, co-senior author of the study and an associate professor of hematology/oncology at UCLA.
What's more, the findings suggest that combining vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, with a drug called an MEK inhibitor — which blocks the other mutation — may not only prevent this side effect, but may also lead to an even more effective melanoma treatment, Ribas said.
"It needs to be demonstrated in clinical trials, but the theory is that if we give these two medications together up front, we will be punching the melanoma where it really hurts twice, and also preventing the growth of secondary skin cancers," Ribas said.

text: On June 22, 1997, at 0930 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172, N4491R, operated by a certified flight instructor (CFI) collided with the runway while landing at the Grosse Ile Municipal Airport, Grosse Ile, Michigan. Neither the CFI or student pilot were injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The training flight was being conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The local flight originated at 0830 edt.In a statement, the pilot said he was demonstrating slow flight to the student while flying in ground effect over the runway. He indicated that the flaps were fully extended (40 degrees) and the power was just enough to sustain flying airspeed. At an altitude of approximately 5 feet above ground level (AGL), the left wing dipped. The left wing tip and main gear contacted the runway at which time the airplane sustained substantial damage. According to the pilot, his intent was to show the student that the airplane would still be controllable while flying at a slow airspeed in ground effect. The pilot added that during the maneuver he let the airplane get away from him.

"After having the opportunity to be a TA, I finally realized that instructors often give guidelines just to make sure no one underachieves. The students who are interested in working outside the guidelines are often worried that they're 'breaking the rules,' and they shouldn't be. Many (most?) instructors are willing to let students break boundaries and work outside of the box as it often leads to better work. The students become more passionate about their projects, and generate more interesting work. So my advice is: don't wait for your instructors to tell you what to do, take risks, work outside the box, and do work you're passionate about. Being a little ridiculous doesn't hurt.
Also, I think it's incredibly important to iterate at full scale. Architects have an unfortunate reputation for not understanding construction. By iterating (not just modeling) at full scale, we get the opportunity to learn about material limitations and possibilities. By having a better understanding of detailing and joinery, we can improve the field's reputation, and lower the risk of a design being compromised by a detail that has to be changed."

|November 11
In 1918, on this day an armistice with Germany was signed in a rail road carriage at Compiegne in France where Germans had previously dictated terms to France, ending the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 - the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month - a ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions. They were unaware that they took with them the Spanish Super flu that would rage through civilian populations, driving Europe to the verge of depopulation by 1920.

Tell the Difference Between Christians and Muslims
One group is white and the other has a great many dead children genetically predisposed to being murdered by those blessed to be white.
(Source: natskep)
The Christian right has long understood that in order to get the power they desire, they need to portray themselves as a group that is working for a majority.
The religious deviant understands that positioning themselves as spokespeople for a majority is an excellent way to push forward their agenda, even when that agenda is absolutely against what the majority actually wants. More than any other group in America, the Christian right knows that you can shove through a massively unpopular policy by appealing to people's sense of identity and solidarity. Indeed, you can often get people to support you who would be utterly repulsed by your actual agenda.
How do they do it? They understand better than anyone how, in politics, identity trumps grittier concerns like actual policies. Labels like "conservative" or "Christian" create intra-group loyalty that allows the radicals within a group to push their agenda knowing that while the majority in their group may disagree with them, they won't fight too hard because they don't want to be accused of not being Christian or conservative enough.
Understanding how identity often matters more than belief is key to understanding how the religious right manages to gather so much power while pushing an agenda completely out of lockstep not just with the mainstream of America, but the mainstream of conservatism.
A good example of how this works is with the recent attempts by the anti-choice movement to undermine women's access to contraception. Will Saletan, recently writing for Slate, denied that the anti-choice movement is any real threat to access to contraception, because the majority of self-identified pro-lifers, who are almost entirely self-identified Christians, actually support contraception. He triumphantly declared that one cannot believe the "pro-life" movement is really about misogyny.
Religion: the Death of America
There are "facts" in the ACE PACEs that are absolutely untrue. Now, you might be kind and say, "Perhaps they are mistakes." But these errors have remained in the PACEs through successive reprints, and they are things which were known to be untrue long before the PACEs went into print in the first place. Therefore, we can say that the writers didn't care about factual accuracy. If you're running an education system, that's gross negligence and I feel no compunction about calling these things lies.
I called ACE on May 3rd, 2012, and was told that all of these PACEs are still in print and the content has not changed. These lies are still being taught in over fifty British schools today.
This would be at number 1, but since it's already been substantially covered in the Times Educational Supplement and the Guardian (at my instigation, please note), I don't want you to feel you're getting second-hand information. If you haven't read the stories and can't be bothered, Science PACE 1099 contains this priceless wisdom:
Some scientists speculate that Noah took small or baby dinosaurs on the Ark…. are dinosaurs still alive today? With some recent photographs and testimonies of those who claimed to have seen one, scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence…
Have you heard of the 'Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? 'Nessie,' for short, has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.
The sun, as everybody knows, works by nuclear fusion. Unfortunately, Creationists have a pet theory, outlined on pages 7-9 of Science 1096 (a PACE devoted entirely to refuting evolution, packed with misinformation and distortions of the truth). In short, Creationists want to prove that the sun is shrinking. If the sun is shrinking at a constant rate, then billions of years ago it would have swallowed up the earth. This, they say, proves that the universe must be young.
Unfortunately for them, the sun is not shrinking. That's because, contrary to their assumptions, the sun is not a massive gas boiler gradually shrinking as it burns fuel. It's a fusion reactor. This doesn't fit their model, so they outright deny the truth:
The nuclear fusion theory of how the sun emits heat and light is an invention of evolution scientists… All other theories require the sun to use up all its energy sooner than the evolutionists' invented timetable would allow.
From the same page as the Loch Ness Monster claim (man, they were just letting the crazy fly that day) comes this:
A Japanese fishing vessel brought up the decomposing body of a dinosaurlike [sic] sea creature off the coast of New Zealand. Caught at a depth of 900 feet, the creature weight 4,000 pounds, measured 32 feet in length, and was seen and photgraphed by the crew members. The animal could not be matched with any living species but certainly resembles a supposedly extinct species of dinosaur.
That quote was placed alongside this photo. Actually, not this photo;an artist's impression of this photo.
Looks very dinosaur-y, no? Well, yes, but it wasn't a dinosaur. It was a decaying basking shark; that's just what they look like when they rot a bit. There was a lot of fuss about this when it happened, in 1977, before scientists got on the case and established what was going on through tissue samples. You can read all about it here.
Here's the thing: As I said, this happened in 1977. Scientific evidence that it was a shark had been presented in 1978. So when did ACE write a PACE strongly implying this was a dinosaur (and saying it couldn't be matched with any living species)? Nineteen Eighty-Nine. 1989. And they kept it in subsequent revisions. Utter mendacity.
And anyway, even if dinosaurs were found alive today, that wouldn't disprove evolution. As a University of Sussex lecturer wrote to the TES, it would just mean we have to rewrite some timelines.
Not "there are flaws/ gaps in the theory of evolution," or "evolution is just one theory" – those normal Creationist arguments are bad enough. No, ACE PACEs say on multiple occasions that evolution is impossible.
And, best of all:
That's, um, not quite true though, is it?
There is a claim that fossilised human footprints have been found alongside dinosaur tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River, Texas. Well, I'll just let ACE pick up the story.
"Biblical and scientific evidence seems to indicate that men and dinosaurs lived at the same time…. Fossilized tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas, also give evidence that men and dinosaurs existed simultaneously. Fossilized human footprints and three-toed dinosaur tracks occur in the same rock stratum…. That dinosaurs existed with humans is an important discovery disproving the evolutionists' theory that dinosaurs lived 70 million years before man. God created dinosaurs on the sixth day. He created man later the same day."
ACE, Science 1099, p. 29.
Unfortunately, the human tracks aren't real. They may have been a hoax. Even the notable loons at Answers in Genesis have admitted they can't be used as evidence for Creationism. Talk Origins deals with it too.
But that's OK. ACE wouldn't lie, would they? It was probably discovered that they were a hoax after the PACEs went into print, right?
Nope. By 1986, even the Institute for Creation Research had given up on the Paluxy prints. And as I've already told you, this PACE went into print in 1989. And it's also mentioned in Science 1096, first copyright 1986.
The Paluxy Tracks are the Creationist equivalent of the Piltdown Man, except that evolution has other solid evidence and Creationism… doesn't.
So there it is. Accelerated Christian Education: written by people who don't care about the truth.
Christians are persecuted just like the fleas on the rats carrying the bubonic plague.

Devotion to an Imaginary Fucker in the Sky Is Not a Spiritual Experience. Christians Talk about Spirituality Constantly because of its Dearth in Their Lives.
(Source: batmans-true-wife, via breathing-illusions)
Theoretical physicist Dr. Lawrence Krauss has equated teaching children creationism with child abuse:Krauss also mentions the Taliban, whose ideology and unbending fundamentalism is remarkably similar to the Tea Party's own beliefs. But so is their belief in armed insurrection and assassination (basically murdering everyone who disagrees with them, or has a different skin colour).
Creationism's Stench Still Lingers in American Education
Creationism (and it's dressed-up-in-drag younger brother, "intelligent" design) is the black mold of education. It's an insidious infection of the mind, an intellectual parasite. And like real-life black mold, it creates a toxic environment – for learning and critical thinking.
Homophobes seem to depend on Christianity as a justification for their hangups and hatred. I guess that's what the magic boo boo book is all about, justification of anything, interpret whatever you please and shazam…it's the god fuckers will and you're just a part of it instead of an instigator.
Scott Lively, the outspoken head of Abiding Truth Ministries which is listed as an active anti-gay hate group, has taken credit for President Putin's ban on homosexual propaganda this summer, NBC reported.
Lively praised President Putin as the "defender of Christian civilization" for signing the ban on information that treats homosexuality as valid, tracing the move to his own tour of Russia in 2006-2007.
In his latest interview, Lively has suggested that Russian officials should stop gay activists planning to rainbow-bomb the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics Games in Sochi so "the global homosexual moment" would be reminded that "the rainbow belongs to God!"
Currently being sued in the U.S federal court for crimes against humanity for his involvement in conspiring with religious and government leaders in Uganda to persecute LGBT people in 2011, Lively proudly takes credit for the rise in homophobic hate in the country that led to the infamous "Kill the Gay" bills and for Putin's recent war on gays in Russia, New Civil Rights Movement reported.
According to Advocate, The Centre for Constitutional Rights said that Lively had a strong history of travelling to international locals to promote anti-gay propaganda. In 2007, Lively toured 50 cities in Russia proposing strict homophobic laws that recently Vladmir Putin enacted. LGBT activists are therefore eager to see the anti-gay pastor be made to testify about inciting anti-gay persecution in Uganda in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit under oath.
Yet, despite the pending legal proceedings, the virulent extremist and author of "The Pink Swastika", a book which traces the Nazi Party to a gay bar, is still as cocky as ever, refusing to pipe down.
In his latest nonsensical ramblings this week in an interview with TruNews, Lively who has dedicated his life to combating the "homosexual agenda" implied that President Obama was the antichrist and using homosexuality to bring about the end of times.
Lively argued that Vladimir Putin is the world's last hope, calling for other leaders to follow in his footsteps:
"… He's the only world leader capable of standing up to the West and he is championing the traditional marriage and Christian values regarding the central moral issue of our time that no one else has the capability to do what he's doing." he said.
Scot Lively is a shit eating coward.

A retired Vermont teacher offered a spot in his family's Connecticut cemetery plot to the family of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died last month following a shootout with police.
In a blog post Monday, Paul Keane wrote that he would offer a spot in his family plot in the Mount Carmel Burying Ground in Hamden, Conn., to the family of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed following a shootout with police four days after the April 15 bombing, if the family cannot find one elsewhere.
Tsarnaev's family has received 120 offers of cemetery plots, but Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan has said none of graves have worked out because officials in those cities and towns don't want the body.
God hates this and god hates that and allah hates this and allah hates that and oh go fuck yourself.
I cringe every time I hear preachers and devout Christians declare "The Bible says…" Rarely do they identify the author or the circumstance of the passage to which they refer. "The Bible says…"is the sledge hammer of Protestant Christianity. The message is all too plain: Get in line or you are headed for punishment, rejection or even Hell. It is the ultimate bullying tool because it is difficult for a parishioner to out-gun a holy god who has spoken with finality and without error. Dynamic and authoritarian preachers are especially good at Bible rhetoric that is calculated intimidation. Preachers may be the most skilled persons in our society in the practice of bullying.

The Future of the Morning-After Pill Is The New Reality of American Catholics
The new Pope is hard at work doing the humble thing and trying to stop sex abuse, but that might not be enough to resolve the gap between the views of the Obama administration — and, increasingly, American Catholics — on contraception and the Church's vehement stance against it.
Following a judge's ruling that could make birth control available over the counter with no age restrictions within the month, the Obama administration announced Friday night that it will fight a subpoena from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, which is requesting documents about the Obamacare mandate for its lawsuit against the government. The Archdiocese, along with several other organizations, contend that the mandate violates freedom of religion because it requires that employee health insurance includes contraceptives. The White House, which is represented by the Justice Department, says the Archdiocese's records request is "too burdensome to fulfill" as well as "inappropriate." So, basically, it's way too much work and you shouldn't have asked in the first place.
The Obama administration tried to compromise with anti-contraception groups in February by allowing certain religious organizations to opt out of providing for contraception in their insurance plans. The employees would be given separate coverage through a third party at no additional cost to the organization. But this still wasn't good enough for the Archdiocese, which claims it will face $200 million in penalties every year if it refuses to comply with the mandate.
The Archdiocese's parishioners may not feel quite so strongly. Last month, a New York Times/CBS News poll showed that the vast majority of American Catholics supported at least some form of contraception — nine out of 10, for example, were hoping the new pope would allow the use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Seven out of 10 were in favor of artificial methods of birth control.
The poll also showed that half of those polled thought religious organizations should be allowed to opt out of paying for contraceptives through employee insurance. Last year, though, that number was two-thirds. That's a pretty dramatic decrease in a short amount of time.
Perhaps most telling, eight out of 10 Catholics polled said that when it came to "difficult moral questions," they were more likely to trust their guts than the pope's teachings. Which means if they want to use artificial methods of contraception, they will. Even if the Pope tells them not to and the Archdiocese refuses to follow the current health care mandate.
