The Royal Grammar School, Guildford (originally "The Free School"), commonly known as the RGS,[3] is a selective English independent day school for boys in Guildford, Surrey. The school dates its founding to the death of Robert Beckingham in 1509 who left provision in his will to 'make a free scole at the Towne of Guldford'; in 1512 a governing body was set up to form the school. The school moved to the present site in the upper High Street after the granting of a royal charter from King Edward VI in 1552.[4] The school's Old Building, constructed between 1557 and 1586, is the home of a rare example of a chained library. It was established on the death of John Parkhurst, Bishop of Norwich, in 1575.[5] Although defined as a "free" school, the first statutes of governance, approved in 1608, saw the introduction of school fees, at the rate of 4 shillings per annum, along with the school's first admissions test.[6] During the late 19th century the school ran into financial difficulty, which nearly resulted in the closure of the school. A number of rescue options were explored, including amalgamation with Archbishop Abbott's School. Funds were eventually raised, however, which allowed the school to remain open, although boarding was no longer offered.[7]
Fee paying continued until the school adopted voluntary controlled status under the Education Act 1944; thereafter tuition was free and the common entrance examination at 11 was introduced. Soon after, in 1958, the school expanded with the construction of the New Building in the grounds of Allen House, a building used for a number of years as a boarding house and later as classrooms. Allen House was later demolished in 1964 just after the completion of the New Building.[8] During December 1962 the historic Old Building caught fire, damaging a large part of it, including the two oldest rooms in the school. The damage was so great the reconstruction took over two years.[9] The school became independent and fee paying in 1977, when the parents and staff raised sufficient funds to purchase the school following concerns about the abolition of grammar school status with the introduction of comprehensive education.[10]
The school initially educated 30 of the "poorest men's sons",[11] though has since grown to have approximately 900 students, about 300 of whom are in the sixth form.[12] The majority of pupils, approximately two thirds, enter at age 11 in the first form, a few (3-5 pupils) enter in the second form at the age of 12, with the remainder entering at 13 in the third form. Admissions are based on an entrance examination set by the school, and an interview.[13] The school performs well academically, and as such is placed high on published league tables. A number of students achieve places at either Oxford or Cambridge universities.[14][15] The school partakes in a number of sporting activities, and has enjoyed some success, including finishing within the top two in the Daily Mail Cup twice.[16] The school maintains a grammar school ethos, and as such runs a number of outreach programmes for students from local maintained schools, for which it won the Independent School Award 2010 for Outstanding Community/ Public Benefit Initiative.[17] The Headmaster is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[18]
The founding of the school dates to 1509 and the death of Robert Beckingham, a wealthy grocer, a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers and a Freeman of the City of London. In his will he requested that the parishioners of St Olave's Church, Southwark, should obtain a licence to endow a chantry priest to say masses for his soul. If they failed to do this within two years of his death, his executors had discretion either to use the property to 'make a free scole at the Towne of Guldford' or to put the income to some other good charitable use.[7] The licence was not obtained within the required time, and so in 1512, Beckingham's executors formally conveyed the lands in the bequest to a body of trustees consisting of the Mayor of Guildford and four 'sad and discrete men' who had formerly been mayors. With the rents, they were to provide a free grammar school in Guildford with a 'sufficient schoolmaster',[10] to teach thirty "of the poorest-men's sons" to read and write English and cast accounts perfectly, so that they would be fit to become apprentices.[11] The school was built in 1520 in Castle Ditch (now Castle Street) with financial assistance from Guildford municipal corporation.[3]
Over the coming years the school ran into financial difficulty and so "The Mayor and Approved Men" of Guildford petitioned Edward VI to grant them further endowments for maintenance. One of the King's closest advisers, William Parr, had a particular affection for the town, having himself spent a large amount of time at the King's manor house in Guildford, and it was he who advised the King to re-appropriate some of the funds arising from the Abolition of the Chantries Acts to the school.[19] Thus in January 1552 Edward VI ordered that there was to be "one Grammar School in Guildford called the Free Grammar School of King Edward VI for the education, institution and instruction of boys and youths in Grammar at all future times forever to endure", along with a grant of 20 pounds per year; the school acquired therewith the right to style itself a Royal Grammar School. The high street site was purchased in 1555 with the construction of the Grade I listed Tudor Old Building[20] starting in 1557. Construction was completed in 1586.[7]
The death of John Parkhurst, the Bishop of Norwich, in 1575 resulted in the founding of the school's chained library.[21] In his will he gave "the most parte of all my Latten bookes whereof shall be made a catalogue as shortelie as I may God sendinge me lief",[5] although obtaining these books was not without its difficulties. Initially the executors of his will used "all the cullerable shifts and practices" to prevent the books from moving to the school. These continued to such an extent that the mayor was forced to complain to the Lord High Treasurer, William Cecil, who summoned the executors to London. Upon a hearing with the executors, the Lord Treasurer referred them to Sir Walter Mildmay who was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time. He demanded that the executors give everything left in the Will to the school. Following the ruling, however, the books passed to Edmund Freke, the new Bishop of Norwich, who kept them for himself at his residence. This continued until the school obtained letters from Her Majesty's Privy Council requiring the books be delivered. The books then finally arrived at the school several years late, although the Bishop kept a number of the best for himself.[22] Since this date the library has been added to, most notably between 1600 and 1800.[23] The library is housed within the Gallery (now the Headmaster's Study) in the Old Building, with the present bookcases dating from 1897. The oldest book within the library was printed in Venice around 1480, with the oldest English book printed in about 1500 bearing the imprint of Wynkyn de Worde. Today the library is one of the few remaining examples of a chained library located within a school.[5]
After the granting of the charter, it took 50 years before the first set of statutes to govern the school were completed. The Bishop of Winchester approved the statutes on 16 September 1608, and they constituted a major change in the way the school was run. Until this point the boys were instructed in English and accounting, but following the statutes lessons were in the subjects of Latin and Greek; with students required to speak in Latin unless licensed by the master to do otherwise. Admissions following the charter also changed, with "none to be admitted scholar into the said school before he be brought to the schoolmaster of that school, and upon his examination shall be found to have learned the rudiments of grammar, called the Accidence." All scholars from the town of Guildford were required to pay the master 5 shillings on admission to the school, and for those from outside the town the charge was 10s. The number of pupils at the school was capped at 100, although this number was rarely reached. The statues also saw the introduction of school fees. Although defined as a "free" school, fees were still charged at the rate of 4s. per annum, paid as 9d. per quarter for the provision of "rods and brooms", with an additional shilling due on the feast of St. Michael, which was used to pay for "clean, wax candles".[6]
On the death of Joseph Nettles (an old boy of the school) in 1691 the school's first university scholarship was founded. Nettles left eleven acres of land in his will to his daughter Elizabeth Brindley, then following her death to Sir Richard Onslow and his heirs, with the rents from the land to be paid to the school for the maintenance of a scholar at Oxford or Cambridge.[24][25] The scholar was to be a son of a freeman of the town of Guildford who "should have read some Greek author" and "be well instructed and knowing in the Latin tongue". His fitness in these fields was tested by the master of the school, and the rectors of the parishes of Stoke next Guildford and St. Nicholas in Guildford. If admitted to any college within the universities, he would then receive the rents from the lands for six years. At the end of six years, upon the scholar's death, or his removal from the university (whichever the sooner), another scholar was selected.[24] If no scholar was deemed suitable and a vacancy arose, then the next scholar selected would receive the standard yearly rate, along with any rents acquired during the vacancy. The rents arising from the lands were roughly £23 per year.[26] The scholarship ceased to be awarded at some point after 1951.[27]
In 1866 the then headmaster Revd Henry G Merriman (headmaster 1859–75) purchased Allen House, a large house set in extensive grounds which stood opposite the school. The house took its name from Anthony Allen, Master of Chancery and Mayor of Guildford in 1740.[28] This was initially used as a boarding house for the school between 1866–74 before later being purchased by Surrey County Council in 1921 and was used by the school until its demolition in 1964. The grounds surrounding the house were purchased in 1914 by HA Powell and donated to the school as playing fields.[8]
During the mid to late 19th century the school fell into disrepair and decay. Guildford Municipal Charities established a committee to report into the general condition of the school and the buildings. The committee reported in 1881 that the school had no funds available for repairs and that there were only nine boys "instead of the former ordinary number of 100".[7] Various suggestions were made by the Charity Commission to raise funds for the school, including a reorganisation with Archbishop Abbot's School. The Committee for Maintaining Higher Education in Guildford was established in March 1887 to oppose the Charity Commission's draft scheme to amalgamate the RGS, Nettle's Charity and Archbishop Abbot's School. The committee raised £2,238 15s. 4d. (approximately £108,000 in 2010) towards the restoration of the RGS, ensuring its survival.[7][29] A new Charity Commission scheme came into effect in November 1888 which resulted in the Old Building being restored, and the school's continuation as a day only school.[7] Several years later under the Education Act 1944 the school adopted voluntary controlled status; tuition was therefore free and entrance was to be by common examination at the age of eleven.[10]
The construction of the New Building started in 1958 in the grounds of Allen House and initially consisted of a gymnasium, assembly hall, dining hall and kitchens, caretaker's flat, staff common rooms, junior library, cloakrooms and changing rooms, eight classrooms, science lecture theatre, five science laboratories, geography and art rooms, and various offices, stores and smaller rooms arranged in a J shape. The construction of the initial building was finished in 1963.[8]
On the morning of Sunday 2 December 1962, a fire broke out in the Old Building. It caused widespread damage to a large part of the structure, including the two oldest rooms in the school, School Room and Big School. The main concern was to prevent the books contained within the chained library from being damaged, either by fire or water from the fire brigade's hoses. The damage to the building was so great that rebuilding took over 2 years, with the unusually cold winter of 1962–1963 delaying the restoration. Lessons, however, continued throughout on the Allen House side of the high street.[9]
The school became independent in 1977 when the parents and staff of the school, led by the Chairman of the Governors, John Fergrieve Brown, raised sufficient funds to purchase the school.[30] The RGS then withdrew from the government maintained system, becoming independent and fee paying. This was followed in 1978 by the purchase of Lanesborough Preparatory School which became the junior school, preparing boys for entry to the RGS at either 11 or 13.[10]
More recently in 2003 construction finished on a new Sports Centre with Fitness Suite and All Weather Training Area with Shooting Range.[31] Followed in 2006 with refurbishments to the Old Building site; the old gymnasium was converted into a Sixth Form Centre and the Victorian science laboratories (some of the earliest in the country)[10] converted into the Art School.
In 2009/2010 the school celebrated the quincentennial anniversary of the founding of the school by Robert Beckingham; numerous events were organised, including a new musical work based loosely on the school hymn "To be a Pilgrim".[32] This year also saw a visit from Princess Anne, The Princess Royal.[33][34]
RGS Guildford is due to open a campus in Doha, Qatar as part of Qatar's Outstanding Schools Program. RGS Guildford in Qatar will open initially to boys and girls ages three to seven years old (pre-school to year 2) in September, with the rest of the primary school slated to open in 2017. According to Bob Ukaih the school aims to open two separate single-sex secondary schools - one for girls and one for boys - in Doha by September 2018.[35][36][37]
The school has a First Form (Year 7) intake of four classes; followed by another intake in the Third Form (Year 9) of two classes, resulting in an average year size of 150, and a sixth form of about 300.[12] The pupil teacher ratio is approximately 10:1 and is low by general school standards. Class sizes range from twenty to twenty-five in the First Form through to GCSE, but are less than 16 by the final two years.[38]
Pupils are required to take at least ten GCSE subjects during Fourth and Fifth forms, which must include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English Literature, English Language, a Modern Foreign Language and a Humanity (History, Religious Studies or Geography).[39] In recent years the school has been offering the IGCSE in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Modern Languages, History and Technology.[40] Boys in the Sixth Form usually take four AS Levels and continue with three to A2 level.[41]
It features highly in published A-level and GCSE league tables for England and Wales.[14][42][43] Pupils at the school are very successful at gaining places at both Oxford and Cambridge universities; the school often features within the top 20 in the country with regards to number of places awarded.[15][44] The school also sends pupils to other universities, including Durham, Imperial and UCL.
School life[edit]
As in most schools in the UK there are three terms in the academic year:[45]
- The Michaelmas Term from early September to mid-December. This is the normal term for new boys to be admitted into the school
- The Lent Term from early January to a time a week or two before Easter falls that year
- The Trinity Term from mid-late April to early July, during which time boys sit most public exams
House system[edit]
There are six houses at the RGS, named after various benefactors of the school:
|House Name
|House Colour
|John Austen
|Robert Beckingham
|Dark Blue
|William Hamonde
|Light Blue
|Joseph Nettles
|Powell Family
|Arthur Valpy
Each pupil is assigned to one of the six houses upon joining the school, and a pupil's house can be indicated to others by optional colour-related clothing.[46] If someone joins as the second in their direct family to do so, they are put in the same house as their relative. There are inter-house competitions throughout the year (including rugby, hockey, reading, and chess) and then at the end of the year the points awarded in each event throughout the year are added up, and the house with most points is awarded the Cock House Cup, which is the traditional name given in British public schools for the in-school competition cup.[47]
The school's official livery colour is green, picked as a house-neutral colour.
School uniform[edit]
The school's uniform up to the end of Fifth Form is a white shirt, dark or light grey trousers and a single-breasted navy blue school blazer. A grey or dark blue, v-neck pullover without sleeves may also be worn. For the lower and upper sixth, navy blue or grey suits are instead worn, and upper sixth formers are permitted to wear pastel shaded shirts.[46] A woollen scarf in the school colours: green, red and white; the sixth form scarf has longitudinal stripes. All years are required to wear one of the approved school ties. Various ties are awarded for sporting, artistic or social achievements, along with half and full colours awarded for services to the school and house colours awarded for services to the house; Senior Prefect ties are awarded to those with the position. Recently there have also been commemorative ties celebrating 450 years since the granting of the Royal Charter, and 500 years since the founding of the school.
Sport is compulsory for all years during games periods and if selected for a team can require compulsory attendance on Saturdays. A once pupil at the school, John Derrick, is connected with the earliest mention of cricket in England when, in a 1598 court case about an ownership dispute over a plot of common land in Guildford, he gave witness that when he was a scholar at the "Free School at Guildford", "hee and diverse of his fellows did runne and play [on the common land] at creckett and other plaies."[48][49][50][51]
- In the Michaelmas term rugby union is the main sport, hockey is also played.
- In the Lent term hockey is the main sport, rugby sevens is also played
- In the Trinity term cricket is the main sport, athletics is an option.
The sports of badminton, cross country running, fencing, football, golf, judo, rowing, sailing, swimming and tennis are available, the list varies by year and term.[52] Sixth form also have a "Spectrum" games option where boys are permitted to use any of the facilities at Guildford Spectrum during the games period.
The sport of target rifle shooting is an option among those in the 3rd year and above, but only available to members of the CCF. In the first and second years, before the CCF is an option, there is an air rifle club, which teaches basics before moving onto " rifles. The shooting team have had a lot of success, not only winning both major smallbore competitions, the Staniforth and the Country Life, but also finishing an impressive second at fullbore in the Ashburton at the Annual Schools Meeting held at Bisley.
The school has enjoyed some success in rugby where it has had first and second places at various levels of the Daily Mail Cup.[16]
On 6 February 2016, Jack Clifford became the first Old Guildfordian to become a full England rugby international when he made his full debut as a replacement for Chris Robshaw during the Calcutta Cup match on 6 February 2016 after 69 minutes.[53]
Since 2003 the six Royal Grammar Schools (Colchester, High Wycombe, Guildford, Lancaster, Newcastle, Worcester) have held the "RGS Cricket Festival", hosted by a different school each year. It is based on a round robin format and held over a period of five days towards the end of the Trinity term.[54]
The school has no playing fields on the town centre site. A 20 acres (8.1 ha) ground called Bradstone Brook, located a few miles away in the village of Chilworth, is the location of the rugby and cricket pitches. There is a single AstroTurf located at the main school for hockey and football. The majority of hockey takes place at Guildford Hockey Club, located at Broadwater School in Farncombe or Surrey Sports Park. Athletics and swimming both take place at Guildford Spectrum.[52]
Extra-curricular activities[edit]
- Music
Music is part of the core curriculum for first to third forms. Pupils take lessons with peripatetic music staff within different disciplines. There is a symphony orchestra composed of students, along with several other smaller classical ensembles. In addition to classical music, there are also a number of jazz and rock bands within the school as well, and to recognise this in addition to the four main music prizes awarded each year, there is an additional contemporary music prize.[55]
- Drama
Drama is offered as an academic subject from the first form,[56] but as well as this numerous plays are staged throughout the year for all year groups in association with local girls schools. The department has a state-of-the-art auditorium which was converted from the old gymnasium as well as a studio called the Hansford Room sited in the North Building.[57]
- Period 8
Period 8 is a specific set of extra-curricular activities which includes a Combined Cadet Force, outdoor pursuits, Scouts, lifesaving and community service. There are five field days in the year, on which these activities especially take place. Before the third form, pupils have the opportunity to decide between the CCF, outdoor pursuits and the scouts. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme is 'Hors Combat' for choice, being available to all students, regardless of their other options, so no longer officially constitutes part of period 8.[58]
- Clubs and societies
There are several dozen clubs and societies at the school,[59][60] many of these are where pupils get together to discuss a topic of particular interest sometimes with a guest speaker. Past speakers include the ex-government drug adviser Professor David Nutt . There are a wide variety of different societies ranging from the normal such as badminton and Amnesty International to the more obscure like "Quirks and Remnants" and the "RumDoodle Society".
- Publications
The Register (originally Really Good Stuff) is a termly newsletter documenting significant achievements at the school.[61]
Admission and fees[edit]
Initially tuition at the school was free, funded by various endowments and rents obtained from lands the most significant arising from the Abolition of the Chantries Acts,[7] and the re-appropriation of funds to the school. In 1944 under the Education Act education remained free, however the common entrance exam at eleven was introduced and the school became a selective grammar school.[10] School fees were introduced in 1977 when the school withdrew from the maintained system and became independent. For the year 2013/2014 they are £14,670 (approximately €17,900 or US$24,500 as of March 2014)[62] per year excluding lunches. All those wishing to be admitted now take the schools own internal 11+ entrance examination which tests English, mathematics and verbal reasoning and attend an interview with two members of staff. If a place is awarded, entry can de deferred for two years so that boys who are at prep school may enter at thirteen. Those entering at thirteen must take the 13+ Common Entrance or the scholarship examination to confirm their place.[13]
Numerous scholarships are available at both 11+ and 13+ for music, academic achievement, and one for art at thirteen. Music and academic scholarships range in value between 5%–20% with one Kings Scholarship available for a 20% reduction in fees. These scholarships are awarded based on performance in subject specific exams or performances, and an interview with the headmaster for academic or music scholarships, or the presentation of a portfolio of work for the art scholarship.[13] Until the start of the 2009/2010 academic year, the value of scholarships was substantially higher with the King's Scholarships worth 50% of the fees and a range of lower scholarships between 10–30%.[13][63]
Charitable status and public benefit[edit]
The school is a registered charity and currently has three charities registered with the Charities Commission: King Edward VI's Grammar School (The Royal Grammar School), Guildford,[64] The Royal Grammar School Guildford (representing the governors),[65] and The Royal Grammar School Guildford Foundation[66] After the withdrawal of the Assisted Places Scheme in 1997 the social diversity of the school decreased, as a result the school began to offer bursaries to students whose parents could not afford the fees,[67] with the first bursary offered in 2007.[68]
The school also runs numerous outreach programmes for children from maintained schools in the local area, including a series of master-classes in science, mathematics, technology, languages and drama for local primary school children. Also for primary school children is the Tudor Experience Project where students can explore the Tudor past of the school through a number of activities. At the higher end of the school, numerous careers and university seminars are run for sixth form students from the local area, in addition to Oxbridge preparation classes and practice interviews for local sixth form students.[69] The school also runs several more outreach programmes, and as a result of these initiatives was recently awarded the Independent School Award 2010 for Outstanding Community/Public Benefit Initiative.[17]
The post of headmaster (schoolmaster or just master as it was originally known) was created following the grant of the Royal Charter in 1552, with the first appointment made in 1554. There have been 35 appointments since the creation of the position.[70] Until the re-organisation of the school in 1888 the post was almost exclusively filled by men from a religious background, with the first headmaster being Sir Lawson, a friar from the monastery in Guildford that was dissolved in 1538.[71] The most notable headmaster was Roger Goad (1569–1575), who was Provost of Kings College, Cambridge and three times Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge;[72] he was headmaster during the time when George Abbot (Archbishop of Canterbury 1611–1633) was at the school.[73]
Former pupils[edit]
Former pupils of the school are referred to as "Old Guildfordians" and are often referred to as "OGs" in official school correspondence.[74] Since the school's founding, notable alumni have included the 75th Archbishop of Canterbury, Olympic athletes, the longest serving speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, several members of the parliament of the United Kingdom, a founding member of the East India Company and the 11th Premier of New Zealand.

Can Atheism Save Europe Dvd
Full Product Description
Edinburgh Festival in Scotland in August 2008.
Dubbed the 'New Atheism' advocates are calling for the abandonment of Europe's religious heritage and the adoption of an aggressive secularism. Religion is detrimental to society, they argue. Indeed, in the words of Christopher Hitchens, it 'poisons everything.'
Some, such as Professor John Lennox, strongly disagree. They maintain that, far from undermining society, the preservation of religious thought, and Christianity in particular, is vital to the survival of Western civilization.
All this leads to the inevitable questions: Should atheism replace Christianity in Europe? Does atheism have a better record that Christianity? And finally: Where would the New Atheism lead the New Europe?
Can Atheism Save Europe Dvd was published by Kingsway in May 2009 and is our 19125th best seller. The ISBN for Can Atheism Save Europe Dvd is VD782.

On July 1st, Austin Village Academy will officially be reborn as the new Central Campus of Whole Life Learning Center.
But let's back up a moment…how's this happening? Why is it happening?
Birthdays start with a love story…
In August of 2010 Michael Carberry & Caroline Riley met at a teacher training. They taught at the then Austin EcoSchool (Austin Village Academy: AVA). They loved the team, the kids, the community there… And they were on fire with vision for the Whole Life Learning Center (WLLC). So they stepped out on their own and opened the doors to WLLC the next September.
Fast forward: Today, the WLLC community is thriving, growing and serving many amazing families – enjoying organic growth and thrilled with the expansion of the school and community thus far. It's growth that has allowed WLLC to activate more of its vision without the risks of growing too big, too fast.
A few months ago, WLLC was visited by AVA parents. They recognized the synergistic and aligned approach and encouraged WLLC Leadership to connect with AVA's director (and their old friend), Cheryl Kruckeberg. They did! They discovered that AVA was in transition. As the conversation unfolded it became clear: AVA becoming a Whole Life Learning Center would support in establishing the solid, caring, wonderful place for learning their families and communities sought. And it would give WLLC the opportunity to serve more of the excited families on their waiting list, while providing another convenient location in Austin.
They're spreading the love! Cheryl, the AVA board, and families were all excited about the transition: an opportunity for organic growth… and a new Whole Life Learning Center campus!
It's also exciting that Solomon Masala will join the team to direct the new Whole Life Learning Center Central campus, with Cheryl as part of the leadership team. They're building an exciting new team there! Solomon, currently in the San Francisco Bay Area, will relocate with his family to Austin at the end of June.
There is overflowing excitement and gratitude as Whole Life Learning Center looks forward to our next year with inspired anticipation.
This could not happen without you. You: our families, our students, our community, our team of Mentors and faculty. It's your constant belief, support, willingness and love that has moved Whole Life Learning Center to this exciting moment.
And with joy and celebration, we welcome all our new AVA community, friends, families and children – thank you for your trust in us, we are honored to serve you.
Michael will be hosting tours at the new WLLC Central Campus every Friday.
Schedule your visit now by contacting: email@example.com.
We welcome your questions and visits.
With deep love, gratitude and respect,
Michael Carberry and the WLLC Team

We expected a ton of points in the BCS Orange Bowl and that's exactly what we got. What we didn't expect was such a lopsided score, and surprisingly we got that as well.
West Virginia won the game by a score of 70-33 and left many Tiger fans stunned.
This was a huge win for the Mountaineers as they are likely headed to the tough Big 12 conference. This is an extremely disappointing loss for Clemson and will likely have them wondering what wrong all offseason.
As another bowl game is now in the record books, here are five things we learned in the BCS Orange Bowl.

Great day at Catamount!
Finally got out! Cheap tix, and very good snow. Wednesday, no people, really nice. Good warm-up we'll be doing Mt. Snow and Okemo this weekend, before moving on to serious shit.
Mt. Snow was a lot of fun, but the coverage was pretty depressing. They've done a great job making snow, but we rode through grass and there was a lot of ice. But for the most part, the cold weather has made snow fast and fun. Just wish it was deeper with more stuff open.

During science today I tried to remember the song off the top of my head and got like 80% correct. First time I thought of song in a while and am now addicted and have the full song drilled into me >_>

Imagine walking more than 50 miles — barefoot and in the heat — to attend church under a tree, where the pastor recites a hand-written gospel message.
For many villages around the capital city of Lilongwe, this is a typical Sunday in Malawi.
"Most of the people in the villages do not have churches,' said Glenn McCathern, a member of Coulter Road Baptist Church and director of I Will Go Too Ministries. "They meet under trees and, up until two years ago, many of them did not have a Bible."
McCathern and a team of nine traveled to Africa June 27 to July 11 for an evangelistic trip, he said. While in South Africa, the missionaries did outreach work in Johannesburg, South Africa and also went to Malawi.
"It was a tremendous trip because we were very well received by the people," McCathern said.
"We did two things — we had about 75 women who came to the women's
conference and we had a pastor training conference for about 60 pastors."
A film about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene was shown to approxiamtely 1,000 teens, young adults and children, he said.
"Evangelism is the central focus point of all our mission trips," McCathern said.
Debra Perry, member of Coulter Road, grew up in a home where missionaries stayed while visiting on furloughs.
"It was a natural process for me to reciprocate," she said. "I've been on between 15 and 20 mission trips."
During the women's conference, Perry said they helped to teach the women in the village how to tell Bible stories as well as teach the Bible stories, verses and songs to the children.
"Here in the United States, there's a church on every corner and it's common for us to hear Bible stories," she said. "We hear Bible stories all the time, but they don't. They were so eager to hear the Bible stories."
One Malawi citizen who epitomizes that all things can be done through Christ, is Pastor Stanley Futch, McCathern said.
"This guy started about 60 churches in Malawi and Mozambique," he said. "Only Stanley had a Bible, so he would write a sermon for his group of guys and write as many copies by hand as he had pastors because he didn't have a copy machine."
Those pastors would memorize the message and come back on Thursdays and recite it for Pastor Futch, McCathern said.
"If it was OK, then he would let them go back to their villages and preach it to their people," he said. "Some of those churches under the trees have about 100 people a week.
While the Bible prompts all believers to share the good news, college student and Coulter Road member Bama Dills felt a calling to be a missionary, she said.
"I just feel called," Dills said. "I like to help people understand what they can do through Christ and that they don't have to settle for bad things in life."
The Evangel University student left Thursday for Niteroi, Brazil along with McCathern on the last mission trip for Coulter Road this year.
"During the first week, we'll train the churches on how to share the gospel," Dills said. "The second week, we'll set up personal visits and share the gospel with people in the neighborhoods at their homes. We're working with three different churches so that we'll reach more than one area."
The 21-year-old has been on numerous mission trips to Brazil and said the people of Brazil have her heart.
"Last year when I went, I had a really hard time leaving after two weeks," Dills said. "I ended up getting to stay 20 extra days."
It was amazing seeing the people grow in their communities, she said.
"It boosted my faith because I saw what God was doing," Dills said. "It's hard to plant a seed and leave, because you never get to see that harvest, you never get to see it grow."
Mission trips are something every young person should experience but their heart must be in the right place, she said.
"If your heart isn't in the right place, you won't get anything out of the mission," Dills said.
Perry said those thinking about going on a mission trip should get a passport first.
"You don't know where God will lead you," she said. "If he wants you to go, he will lead you and provide the way. You just have to be willing and available."

Generally, golf course superintendents are responsible for overseeing all aspects of maintaining an enjoyable and profitable golf course. They must ensure that all natural areas of the course, from the fairways to the greens and roughs, are healthy and properly maintained, and must also be aware of the general course environment, including ponds, trees, and cart paths. Back in the office, they are heavily involved in hiring and working with golf course personnel.Read More...
These superintendents must ensure the health of the golf course's natural assets, which involves working with groundskeeping crew. They must also inspect the course constantly, take soil samples, and note any anomalies. Weather conditions, and adjusting to them accordingly, are very important responsibilities.
Golf course superintendents also help maintain a challenging course for players, and dictate factors such as the length of rough grass or the rotating pin placements on greens; these are especially important if the course is hosting an amateur or professional tournament. These superintendents also interview and employ those who work with greenskeeping staff, and may provide input on wage structure for those positions. Finally, they are in charge of setting and maintaining a budget for the care and maintenance of the course and issuing regular reports to the board of ownership of the facility.
Of course, golf course superintendents are enthusiasts of the sport, but many have also pursued some vocational or university training in horticultural science; a few community colleges and even universities offer degrees in this field. For public safety, some local jurisdictions may require prospective superintendents to be certified in the application of pesticides and fertilizer treatments. Many have previously held groundskeeping jobs to gain practical experience in the field, as well. Most golf course superintendents split their workdays between an office and being out on the golf course to check and monitor natural conditions.

1-800-543-4536 or 1-561-962-4399 2010 Mercedes Benz ML 350 AWD Silver on Black MSRP: $50,045 USAEXPORTEXPORTS Mercedes-Benz's now-legendary M-Class SUV has been revised for the 2010 model year and beyond. While the refresh doesn't completely alter the look of the vehicle, it does include a redesigned bumper, recontoured headlamps and a larger radiator. Since the Tuscaloosa, Alabama-built M-Class' introduction in late 1997 for the 1998 model year, families across the globe have flocked to the three-row sports-utility vehicle. The latest generation of the M brought a new top-end V8 model, the ML550, and considerably more aggressive style. The visual changes with the latest update include restyled front and rear fascias, grille, headlights and smoked taillights. The interior receives upgraded materials along with a two-tone color scheme and new four-spoke steering wheel with integrated shift paddles. New standard and optional equipment has also been added. Though quality woes plagued the initial vehicles, the M-Class has seen continued success. Since 2008, the ML550 replaces the ML500 and adds a 382 horsepower, 5.5 liter V8 engine. With 391 lb-ft. of torque and a seven-speed automatic transmission, the ML550 is a strong performer. The entry-level ML-Class is the ML350, which is powered by Mercedes-Benz's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V6. It pumps out 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque. Standard equipment on all models includes vinyl upholstery, power front seats, 17' wheels, dual zone automatic climate control and wood interior trim. The ML550 adds hated front seats, an automatic-dimming rearview mirror and rain sensing wipers, as well as 18' wheels. Other equipment includes Mercedes' own occupant protection systems, Pre-Safe and Neck-Pro head restraints, along with roof rails. A new multimedia interface system allows Bluetooth hands-free calling as well as an auxiliary connection for mobile music players. An optional Media Interface allows interacting with devices such as an iPod via the vehicle's steering wheel controls and displays. MB engineers found a way to improve fuel economy of all M-class SUVs by about 1.5 mpg on average. All Ms feature a four-wheel drive system and a 7-speed automatic transmission and now sport twin exhaust tips. Major options include the premium package, which features a power sunroof, harman/kardon stereo with satellite radio, a power liftgate and rain sensing wipers.

Oreo Cookie Cake
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
I am not a big fan of eating Oreo Cookies, but this cake is TO DIE FOR. I served this for dessert at night to a bunch of overnight guests who requested it again for breakfast! I strongly recommend preparing this at least 24 hours before you want to serve it. It firms up and tastes much better that way! Prep time below does not include chilling time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
- 42 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 16 ounces Cool Whip (divided)
- 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
- 3 cups milk
- Mix butter and crushed cookies. Press into the bottom a 9"x13" pan using parchment or waxed paper.
- Mix cream cheese and confectioner's sugar well. Fold in 8 oz Cool Whip. Spread mixture on crust.
- Mix both pudding mixes together with milk. Spread on cream cheese mixture.
- Top with remaining 8 oz Cool Whip and sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
- Chill at least a day. The longer you chiil it, the firmer it gets.
Most Helpful
This is such a good cake! My youngest son loves Oreo cookies and just loved this cake. He is not much of a sweet eater but this he loves. An extra bonus is that it was so easy to make! Thanks for sharing.

Among my writerly friends and kin, debates about language rules are routine. I tend to wave the descriptivist flag, arguing various versions of the point that if almost everyone defines / conjugates / pronounces a word a particular way, there just isn't any coherent reason to call it wrong anymore.
Scott Walker:
Our hearts go out to the victims [of the gurdwara shooting in Wisconsin] and their families, as we all struggle to comprehend the evil that begets this terrible violence.
Mark Silk:
Personally, I don't think we have to struggle too hard.
Here are some things I read recently but didn't get around to blogging about.
I've so far declined to comment on Wheaton College's decision to join the election-year culture war skirmish du jour by suing the feds for stomping all over its religious freedom requiring insurers to cover basic women's health needs while allowing faith-based employers to themselves stay out of it. I was sad but not surprised to learn of this move. Wheaton takes it as not only one legitimate view but an article of evangelical conviction that the morning after pill is unacceptable? Sure, okay. I disagree with my alma mater, but it's hardly the first time.
This past weekend, Holy Covenant United Methodist Church—where I moonlight as a church musician—participated in a "weekend of peace" organized by the Chicago Clergy Coalition.
I've had a convert's fervor for liturgical worship ever since I stumbled upon an ELCA music position as a recent Wheaton College grad with a very low-church background. (When my much-younger sister advanced pretty far in the state spelling bee but didn't win, my dad told her to call me. "I lost on a word I've never heard of: 'liturgy,'" she said. "Dad said you'd know why that was funny.")
I grew up with the Onion—before it was national, it was a Wisconsin thing—and I've long been especially fond of the "Point/Counterpoint" columns.
I posted recently about how the rhetorical category "the middle class" seems to keep growing (even as the actual middle class is shrinking). Then I read Jon Ronson's article in this month's GQ. Ronson profiles six people—actually, five individuals and one family—who represent different spots on the U.S. income scale, giving a glimpse of "how to live on $____ a week."
It's a solid premise, and Ronson approaches his subjects with empathy and a dose of righteous indignation. But I was startled by his methodology.
In the aftermath of Ross-Douthat-bashes-liberal-Christians-gate, lots of folks are citing Rachel Held Evans's post approvingly.
Ross Douthat's gotten a lot of pushback for using his soapbox to complain that liberal Christianity lacks "a religious reason for its own existence." And with good reason—it'd be nice if the national paper of record's faithiest columnist could at least spin a fresher argument against us mainliners.
My favorite response so far comes from the always entertaining Sarah Morice-Brubaker.
I'm prone to the occasional rant about how much I dislike the movement folk music of the 1960s—its lack of subtlety, its odd mix of the earnestly humorless and the cornball, its endless verses of repetition. But I love Woody Guthrie, who was born 100 years ago today.
Guthrie was a generation older than the 60s troubadours and a singular influence on many of them, none of whom shared his gifts and sensibilities.
I'm as down on big organics as the next guy who makes homemade sauerkraut out of cabbage grown by his farmer wife. As Stephanie Strom details, the standards of organic certification could be much stronger, and most national organic brands are owned by the very mainstream companies they're standing in implicit objection to. Not exactly a recipe for systemwide reform.
Still, I think Tom Philpott's right: Michael Potter of the independent holdout Eden's Organics, Strom's primary focus, goes too far in slamming the certified-organic label as a "fraud."
It's not about the size of government
Public and private efforts to meet human need aren't squared off in a zero-sum game. And there's more than enough work to go around.
How should we decide who to vote for? Paul Root Wolpe thinks a candidate's personal ethics should be at the top of the list:
When we care about a candidate's character, we are really asking, Is this person authentic? Are their positions a true reflection of their inner values, or are they politically expedient? Is a change of opinion on an issue a result of the candidate listening to others, learning and making a principled decision, or is it a response to pressure, polls and popularity? . . . . It is in the American character to care about our leader's values. We should be proud of that.
I don't exactly disagree, but I don't find this all that helpful, either.
Obama's tax proposal is good short-term policy and smart politics. But it irks me every time I hear him define the middle class so expansively.
Rod Dreher revealed recently that he couldn't come up with more than six of the Ten Commandments from memory. He also pointed out the irony of this fact coming from someone who often gets on his "high horse about theological ignorance," so I won't pile on.
I've mentioned before that, while I haven't retained everything I learned at my evangelical grade school, I do recall a catchy song for remembering the U.S. presidents in order. We also performed a lot of musicals, including the popular '80s Christmas program Angels Aware.
The first is wonky fun; the second is just the regular kind.
On the subject of CNN's epic fail yesterday—here's a great Photoshop illustration of the episode—Paul Waldman thinks CNN missed a great opportunity to anticipate the problem and promise to avoid it and focus on accuracy, not on being the fastest. "Maybe," says Waldman, "they would have gained a few viewers."
Maybe a few. But it's hard to imagine such a move being transformational.
In the unlikely event you missed it, the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate—a central piece of the 2009 health-care reform law—in a 5-4 decision today. Read the decision here (pdf) and, if that doesn't keep you busy, follow SCOTUSblog's live blog for ongoing analysis.
Whatever this decision means for the presidential election, future SCOTUS decisions, or future health-care laws, it's important not to lose sight of its most important effect: millions of people will have health insurance who otherwise likely would not have been able to acquire it.

text: Hi GPFS runs very well on RHEL3 and RHEL4. It is officially supported from IBM only on selected Hardware Devices. We did a feature and performance comparison of GFS and GPFS as part of a cluster project. It has been published in the german computer magazine iX in 10/2005. Just a brief overview: Our impression was, that gpfs is very scalable (up to 2^99 Byte even on Linux Kernel 2.4 compared to 16 TByte with GFS) and has more features than gfs 6.1 has at the moment. It has cluster-wide snapshots and the possibility to store data transparently redundant (like raid1) on diffent storage systems. It could be expanded and rebalanced online, which means, that data are restriped over the added storage device which improves overall IO performance by addinge devices. It could be extended to LAN with Multipathing... We discoverd some gpfs issues with mmaped files and an undocumented limit in fcntl locks per file (problem with samba tdb files on gpfs) which could be increased. GFS could be used free and the integration into RHEL is much better (with GPFS you have to compile a kernel module on every kernel update or gpfs update). It is supported by Redhat with no special hardware requirements. If you need further information on GPFS you can contact me off list, because it might be off topic on a gfs list :-) Greetings Hansjörg rturnbull schrieb: > Hello, > I sent in a question before about SAN connecting multiple nodes to > same shared disk. > > I have been doing some reading and came across GPFS (Global > Parallel File System).
