Frozen Art: Wall of Ice
Most works of art long outlive their makers. But some artists like to watch their masterpieces melt away. They give new meaning to the term "cool art."
An ice wall in the desert? It sounds impossible. But that's not a word Dale Chihuly likes to hear. The American artist got the idea to build a wall of massive ice cubes as part of his Jerusalem 2000 project. Since water is scarce in Jerusalem, Chihuly imported his own huge ice bricks, cut from a frozen lake in Alaska. Then, the artist and his team stacked the cubes together to make a wall, aglow with colored lights, in the shadow of the ancient city gate. Though the ice thawed quickly in the hot desert sun, its melting was all part of the plan. As the wall melted, big barrels collected the water, which was then used to irrigate a nearby hillside.
You're walking down the street, minding your own business, when you see a snowball. No big deal, right? Except the snowball is as tall as you are. And weighs about a ton. Did we mention that it's June?
That's the experience thousands of stunned Londoners had when they crossed paths with "Snowballs in Summer," the brainchild of artist Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy makes sculpture from all sorts of things he finds outside—leaves, earth, and rocks, as well as ice and snow. He wanted to find out how busy city people would react to an unexpected snowball melting in their midst.
During the winter of 1999, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland. He filled each one with a surprise in the center—such as pebbles, berries, feathers, or sheep's wool—which would emerge as the snow melted. The finished snowballs were stored in a deep freeze until summer, then transported to London in refrigerated trucks. At midnight on June 21, 2000, while the city slept, Goldsworthy and his co-conspirators rolled their snowballs into place.
People walking to work or school must have thought the sky was falling when they stumbled across snowballs the size of baby elephants. Some of them had never even seen snow in real life, and they couldn't resist poking the snowballs or even breaking off a chunk. As the snow started to melt, things got even more interesting. The perfectly round snowballs took on different shapes as the stuff inside began to poke through. Two days later, most of Goldsworthy's snowballs were gone, and their fillings scattered. But Londoners were left with a really good story about that odd summer day when the snowballs came.
- irrigate:
- To supply with water by means of a system of ditches, pipes, and canals.
- scarce:
- Not enough to meet a demand.
- Imagine you saw this ice wall sculpture. How would you describe the sculpture's properties? Write a sentence or two for your answer.
[anno: Answers may vary but could include properties such as the blocks of ice are colorful, large, and slippery.]
- This sculpture existed in two different states of matter. Name the two states.
[anno: The two states are solid and liquid.]
- Why do you think the artist made a sculpture that changes states of matter? Explain your answer in a sentence or two.
[anno: Answers will vary but could include that the artist made his sculpture this way because he wanted to make a sculpture that would be useful and not just art.]

Genesis Bikes were showing off their 2012 range at this week's iceBike* show, hosted by UK distributors Madison, but given that we'd already been given a sneak peek at those bikes back in the summer, what caught our eye were seven new prototypes.
Covering the full gamut of road, mountain and cyclo-cross, these bikes were all resplendent in the black, blue and orange of the new 'Guild' development programme. This is Genesis's equivalent of Orange's Strange project or SRAM's BlackBox, the idea being, why not promote the fact you're working on new ideas, rather than shrouding the process in secrecy – in this case with a distinctive paintjob and matching riding kit.
On the road side, they were showing a very tasty looking titanium version of the Equlibrium. The prototype uses the same geometry as the steel bike but is manufactured from proprietary 3Al\2.5v tubing.
Described as a "hard riding sportive bike for more aggressive riders" it's been designed to have a very stiff front end courtesy of an XX44 head tube and fat down tube. Out back, shaped and ovalised stays add vertical compliance for comfort. The frameset, which includes a headset and a tapered-steerer carbon fork with mudguard eyelets, is expected to cost around £1,500, with a complete bike equipped with Shimano 105 likely to cost £2,200.
If your budget won't stretch that far, the Volant may be more up your street. This entry-level alloy road bike is a replacement for the Aether. It's been designed from scratch by new Genesis designer Dom Thomas, who's deliberately avoided using hydroformed tubes in order to achieve a clean, simple look.
The top and down tubes are triple butted to save weight, the XX44 head tube allows you to run a straight- or tapered-steerer fork, and geometry is more race- than sportive-orientated. Three models will be available, all with a carbon fork. Prices are likely to be around £650 with Shimano 2300, £800 with Sora and £1,000 with 10-speed Tiagra.
Bridging the gap between the road and mountain prototypes is the Fugio. This 'cross racer combines a frame made from Reynolds 853 chromoly with a tapered fork made by US carbon specialists Whisky Parts Co. A frame, fork and headset package will be available for £800, with a complete bike equipped with Shimano 105 for £1,700.
All four of the mountain prototypes are 29ers. The High Latitude is a 29er version of the Latitude trail hardtail and comes in three variants – one geared, one designed to be run singlespeed and one based around a Shimano Alfine geared hub. A prototype frame made from Reynolds 853 and with a 1-1/8in head tube was on display at iceBike but Dom told BikeRadar that initial production bikes and frames will all be Reynolds 520, with an XX44 head tube.
The High Latitude is based around an 80-100mm fork and has a 69.5° head angle. The frame will cost £300, with either horizontal or vertical dropouts, with complete bike prices ranging from £1,000 to £1,700. Availability is slated for the summer.
Finally, there's also a prototype entry-level 29er, the Mantle. This is made from 6069 alloy, with triple-butted main tubes and a bent seat tube for improved wheel/tyre clearance – Genesis say there's room for up to a 2.35in. It's designed to be used with an 80 or 100mm fork; with the latter it has a 68.5° head angle.
An XX44 head tube up front allows use of a tapered-steerer fork for improved steering precision. Three models will be available, ranging from the £750 Mantle 10 to the £1,300 Mantle 30, with Shimano SLX kit and a RockShox Recon Gold fork.
If you can't wait that long, the new Fortitude range of 29ers, which we checked out earlier this year at The London Bike Show, should be hitting shops within weeks. The bikes were designed around a rigid fork, because Dom reckoned it was important to get the basics right without having to worry about suspension.
Genesis's first foray into big wheels is available as a singlespeed (£850), with an Alfine hub and rack mounts (£1,500), or a 1x10 drivetrain (£1,250). Apparently, all the contact points (grips, saddle) are in the same position as on a 26in-wheeled mountain bike.
Other bikes that caught our eye were the Day One Disc 'cross bike (£800, available from April), which we first saw back in the summer, and the CDF, a lower priced (£900) version of the popular Croix de Fer, designed to come in below the UK's £1,000 Cycle to Work tax incentive threshold.
This uses Reynolds 525 tubing instead of 725 and Shimano Sora not Tiagra but shares the same proven geometry, mechanical disc brakes and classic good looks. It's due to hit shops by the end of the month.

L. Neil Smith's
Number 329, July 24, 2005
"You've GOTTA be kidding"
Who's Afraid of Freedom?
Special to TLE
The recent terrorist bombings in London are, without question, a tragedy. Innocent people lost their lives or suffered serious injury; innocent people lost loved ones or face the hardships of recovery. Those who are claiming responsibility say they engaged in terrorism to protest the British involvement in the War on Terror. On the face of it, that rationale seems a bit odd since such attacks are likely only to entrench the policymaker's mindset still deeper. Frightening the public badly enough, however, could very well result in some changes more favorable to the terrorists' cause.
Terrorist attacks go beyond immediate physical damage. They disrupt the economy, at least locally, and can potentially misdirect the attention of intelligence operatives. They make things inconvenient, at a minimum, for those who must still live and work near where the attacks occurred. They cause injury far above and beyond the proximity of the attacks for people who, by virtue of their religion or nationality are shunned or assaulted by people who are understandably nervous at best. But for all the other causes and effects of such attacks, there's one repercussion that's even worse than the others and which, unfortunately, is at least as likely as the most probable of the others.
Almost immediately following the first news reports from England, there were people writing on Internet newsgroups who suggested that the British government itself might have been responsible for the terrorist attacks. Plans to implement a national ID card in England have generated a good deal of protest which is now beginning to get quite organized. Since terror attacks seem to result in at least the temporary clamor of citizens begging the government to protect them at any cost, some believe that the protests against the ID card will now be quieted and people will line up to get them like the sheep officials doubtless prefer they would be. Those people are probably right about at least the latter part of their suppositions.
I'm personally not prepared to say that the government had any role whatsoever in actually carrying out the terrorist bombings in London's subway system and on a double-decker bus there. I'm enough of a realist, though, to be absolutely certain that the government won't hesitate for a moment to take advantage of those terror attacks. They'll use it shamelessly to promote their national ID plans. They'll use it to bolster public opinion for the War on Terror. Worse still, they'll export it to us here in America where the administration has been trying to combat decreased supportand in some cases overt oppositionfor its own supposed anti-terror measures including a national ID, retention and expansion of the PATRIOT Act, travel restrictions and severe security measures, and more.
In fact, even in the earliest days of the investigation into the London bombings, the Bush administration is seeing advantages. The president is already reminding Americans of the ongoing War on Terror and of America's resolve to continue fighting it, and at least some of them appear to be listening. In the wake of his reminders and the news stories coming out of London, many in Congress will likely be hard pressed to remain too critical of the PATRIOT Act the Justice Department claims is crucial to the War on Terror; Attorney General Alberto Gonzalescredited with helping to write the PATRIOT Act as well as to draft policies concerning those held as "enemy combatants" in Guantanamohas suddenly become a less contentious candidate to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
The president himself, who has seen his popularity decrease dramatically in recent weeks, will probably get something of a "bounce" thanks to the attacks and his subsequent rhetoric as will beleaguered British Prime Minister Tony Blair. I still don't think that the British government had anything to do with planning or carrying out the terrorist attacks there. But given the political advantages of such an attack once it's occurred, it's easy enough to see why some people might think a government would at least consider taking such action, heinous as it might be!
Regardless of who planned and carried out the attacks, they occurred, and some in government have already started to take advantage of that fact. Americans who are afraid that something comparable might happen here next are inclined to let the government do whatever it says it needs to do to protect us against such attacks. Therein, of course, lies the gravest damage such attacks can cause. And to add insult to already grievous injury, the vast majority of measures the government has takenand plans to take in the immediate futurearen't really going to keep Americans any safer from terrorism at all.
Consider, for example, that the Transportation Security Administration has instituted programs that involve random searches of passengers. Passenger searches might make some small amount of sense if those who resembled suspects were the subject. But instead, randomness is demanded by those who suggest that anything else might involve the apparently unforgivable sin of "racial profiling." This summer, the TSA also intends to begin implementing what effectively amounts to strip searches for all passengers which means that everyone must suffer a humiliating invasion of privacy equally on the off chance that some terrorist will make a mistake.
When you look long and hard at the perpetrators of past terror attacks, it makes less and less sense to search elementary school students and grandmothers while letting men of obvious Middle Eastern descent wander past the checkpoints. At the same time, the TSA has done everything in its power to slow progress in arming pilots which might actually be the single cheapest and most effective solution of all to protecting airliners from onboard attackers.
Intelligence agencies have suggested that our bordersthe one to our south in particularrepresent points of entry for criminals of all kinds and most assuredly that includes terrorists. Despite the danger, illegal immigrants continue today to cross the border almost at will. As recently as this month, among the illegals who were caught were two Iraqi men.
Instead of tightening the border, the Bush administration first proposed immigration "reform" that included what effectively amounts to an amnesty program. Though the administration has backed off that notion slightly in recent weeks, it also failed to hire more than a token percent of the new Border Patrol personnel authorized by Congress in an effort to gain more control over our borders. The Bush administration also referred to civilians patrolling the borderwho took up the task only because the federal government was apparently unable or unwilling to do soas "vigilantes" thus making it clear that preventing border crossings is of significantly less concern than the general public and the intelligence community believe it ought to be.
Security cameras are everywhere. In Washington DC, they're in buildings and on street corners. In Chicago, they're coupled with audio hardware that can supposedly "hear" and identify gun shots. In virtually every town, they're in stores and at transportation hubs. Those cameras are intended to deter, prevent, and help to solve crimes of all kinds. We're told being under constant surveillance is worth it because we're safer with the cameras.
But before street cameras were everywhere in America, security cameras were everywhere in England. Despite that, a terrible terrorist attack occurred there in full view of what some reports say total as many as some 3,000 cameras. Whether or not any of those cameras provide evidence to help solve the crime will have to wait until police can review tape from all of those sources. But whatever else, it's clear the cameras did nothing to stop the attacks in either deterrent mode or by bringing the authorities in time to do anything about it.
The government already knows that there's no such thing as perfect security from terror attacks. Whether we want to acknowledge the fact or not, it's the plain truth that a truly determined attackerparticularly one who doesn't care if he surviveswill sometimes fulfill his mission. If there are enough such attackers willing to make an attempt, there will be a few successes and innocents will die.
Is that acceptable? Absolutely not. But what's even less acceptable is the loss of freedom in ways that will have little if any effect on the potential for terror attacks even as they exert draconian curtailments of liberty for law abiding citizens. The only thing worse than that is that the government will continue doing these things while it convinces people who want desperately to believe that it really is for their own good.
If Americans really want to be safer from terrorists, they don't need to give up their liberty. Instead, they need to stop cowering behind their government nanny and demand that the most effective possible measures be taken. That means border control. That means armed pilots. That means checking people who match suspect descriptions no matter where they fall in the ticket lines. But most of all, it means refusing to let fear steal our freedom via a government that preys on that fear, and to muster enough courage to appreciate that freedom in and of itself entails some risk.
To do anything less means that, even without another attack, the terrorists get what they want. If we're really fighting a war against terror, shouldn't we at least try to win?

Flashback: death of M1TP3... and Electronic Battlefield
I was browsing a lot of sites after playing a bit of retro F-117A, which lead me back to M1TP2, which lead me to "Death of M1TP3" here.
Which reminded me that I have a little story to tell.
You see, I used to work at MicroProse... way back when. Technically, I worked at Spectrum HoloByte, in their Alameda office, which later became MicroProse. And yes, I knew all the guys, and gals there. Back then it was just a fun summer QA testing job. I was there when they finished up Stunt Driver (my name is in there in the credits) and I was helping test Flight of the Intruder, Faces, and a few other games.
Any way, Mr. Sponauer did a great job, but electronic battlefield long predated M1TP3. Electronic Battlefield idea was a Gilman Louie concept that was supposed to be a part of the original Spectrum HoloByte game: Tank
which is often confused with the MicroProse title M1 Tank Platoon released in the same year: 1989. The difference is Tank was supposed to have MP, and it sometimes actually work. M1TP did not have multiplayer.
By the time I got there, Falcon 3 had gone gold and being packaged, and they're already working on add-ons. I've even seen the prototype box of "Avenger A-10" (yes, I know the title's not right, but that's the title they went with). That's when they found that the terrain engine they have that seems to work for Falcon 3 doesn't work well enough (hardware wasn't good enough at the time) for A-10. They got prototypes working but the frame rate is horrible in undulating terrains (hills and whatnot). Remember, 3D acceleration doesn't exist yet. 3DFX didn't make Voodoo card until 1996!
So the idea of making a ground sim that work with a flight sim is... well... too early.
I helped them in-house test a few games, then was laid off / not invited back.
In 1991 MicroProse went public, to raise funds for their arcade business which did horrible. Other games didn't do so well. In 1993, at urging of Bill Stealey cofounder MicroProse, Spectrum HoloByte bought out MicroProse. For a while, not much changed. Stealey left in 1994 to start Interactive Magic (who also did a F-16 and a M1 game, as well as Apache and Hind games)
Gilman Louie spent a lot of money on lining up some big name licenses, like Magic: The Gathering, Star Trek TNG, Top Gun, and MechWarrior. However, all those games have a few issues, and the company got a cash crunch in 1996, and started laying off staff, and that's when most of MicroProse (Maryland) left, including Sid Meier, Jeff Briggs, and Brian Reynolds.
But somehow the Electronic Battlefield idea lived on, and a fresh team was gathered for Gunship! and maybe, M1TP3.
And there's where Mr. Sponauer's article comes in.
Nowadays, we have to make do with the Battlefield series, and DCS series (which has no vehicles), and maybe the Arma series.
One day we'll get what we really wanted

I am convinced that the PC sims and games had a major effect on the PC's popularity,
it was this effort that opened the eyes of guys who otherwise would not have been attracted to the PC -- and running DOS too.
Strike Commander, Strike Eagle III, all MicroProse stuff and then came DID with their
fantastic X86 code that ran lightning fast.
If we saw the effort made like that today without the interference from MS,etc.,
it would be awesome.

There are a number of amazing conversion stories in the New Testament, from the apostles who were called by Christ to those who witnessed his miracles, but as Jesus said in John 20, "Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
So it was with a crowd gathered to hear our first pope, St. Peter, preach on Pentecost, when 3,000 converted on one day, in one place.
Click photos above to read their stories!
"Peter [said] to them, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call.' He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, 'Save yourselves from this corrupt generation'" (Acts 2:38-40).
Some of the most amazing conversions are those taking place today, as people fight to swim against the current of our increasingly secular culture.
But despite all the obstacles against them, they made — and continue to make — a conscious decision to say "yes" to God and to the Church he established through Christ. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
"It is by faith in the Gospel and by baptism that one renounces evil and gains salvation, that is, the forgiveness of all sins and the gift of new life" (No. 1427).
Our Sunday Visitor once again celebrates Easter by sharing the conversion stories submitted by our readers.
We hope you enjoy them.
I did not intend to become a Catholic; my wife did, and between us there were three divorces. I attended RCIA to learn more about Catholicism.
The annulment questionnaires are nearly autobiographical. After completing mine, I stood back and looked at my life, all 69 years of it. In number and magnitude, my failures outweighed my successes. It was cathartic. God had put me in positions where I could do good, where I could make a difference in the lives of family and comrades. I failed. My decision was easy; it was time to join the Church.
It took three years to become Catholic. During that period I was an English as a second language teacher, and one of my students, a Hispanic priest, gave me a first Communion book for children to help me with my Spanish. What I learned from it was this: La misa es la celebración de la eucaristía. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist. I wanted that.
After having witnessed the preparation for the Eucharist more than 100 times I began to resent not being able to take Communion.
I thought about going to the Episcopal Church one time just to take communion but then I felt like that would be almost adulterous. I persevered and we became Catholics on Dec. 28, 2013.
Since then, we rarely miss a day without attending Mass. Being able to participate in the Eucharist has had a major impact on me.
I am Catholic.
My conversion began with an unusual dream. I was in the countryside looking for a farm where they sold tomatoes. Finding such a farm, I noticed a beautiful Catholic church next to the farmhouse.
I started toward the church, but the farmer came out saying the church was closed and invited me into his house. Stepping inside, I was immediately confronted by a ladder attached to and going straight up the wall. The farmer nodded for me to climb the ladder that took me into an enclosure much like an oversized heating or air conditioning duct. The dark duct was just big enough for me to crawl through. Suddenly, I was outside in the bright sunlight where the farmer said I could now go into the church.
Inside, a young woman in a blue dress was kneeling on one of two kneelers. As I knelt and looked forward, all my sins were silently presented, just above the altar, in a kind of slide show format. Each sin was momentarily visible and then disappeared, as if forever. In my dream I recognized some kind of spiritual conversion was taking place. As I left the church, the young woman smiled but didn't look up. Outside I saw the farmer walking away from the farm; he turned and motioned me to follow. I awoke exhilarated that God was prompting me to begin my Catholic Faith journey. A year later I was received into the Church.
As the relationship with my future wife became more and more serious, I became more and more concerned about our children being Catholic. Any objections I might have would certainly apply to my children as well. As an active Presbyterian, I was aware of a few similarities and many differences between our faiths. I met with a priest and brought a list of the similarities and differences with the intention of examining them each in turn. Within minutes, he dismissed me with the advice to accept the Roman Catholic Church as the Church established by Jesus and to return when I had.
My girlfriend and her family were shocked and suggested another priest. What they did not know was that any significant objections to the Church that surfaced would mean an end to the romance. Fortunately the attraction was strong, and I met with the second priest, who was the epitome of hospitality, charity and compassion. He introduced me to "Father Smith Instructs Jackson" by John Francis Noll, the founder of Our Sunday Visitor. After about a year of instruction by Father John Edward McMurray of Nashville, Tenn., (and Father Smith, of course), I came into the Church on July 2, 1960, with my future mother-in-law as my godmother. My wife and I now have four children and 10 grandchildren after 53 years of marriage. Our youngest, John Edward, is named after Father McMurray. Needless to say, there were no objections!
On Jan. 19, 2010, my husband and I were blessed with a baby boy. In February, I noticed he seemed to be having difficulty breathing and took him to the hospital. He was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with pneumonia and both of the lower lobes of his lungs collapsed.
The doctors told my husband and me that they were not able to say if he was going to make it or not. We were desperate and went to the hospital chapel to pray. I made a promise to God that if he let our son survive I would return to church. I did not give a religion to the hospital during admission, but the next day we were visited by two nuns. We do not know who they were or why they were there; however, I told them I was Catholic and wanted to have a priest come to see Trevor. The next day happened to be Ash Wednesday and, sure enough, this is when the priest came. He gave us ashes and also baptized Trevor. The next day Trevor was taken off the ventilator and was breathing on his own with just oxygen. The doctors had no explanation for this. I re-entered the Church in October 2013.
I grew up a Methodist before converting to the Episcopal Church at age 20. The stately liturgy and choral music always brought me closer to the Lord.
However, I always had problems with Henry VIII and the fact that he'd thrown the pope out of England. Something wasn't right.
Then I heard the archbishop of Canterbury say in a homily that the Church in the world needed a rudder. I wondered why he didn't consider himself that rudder. I also wondered about his followers in what amounted to a rudderless boat.
About that same time, Pope John Paul II came to World Youth Day in Denver. I hung on his every word and saw in him someone who knew exactly who he was — he was that rudder the archbishop had been looking for! I told my wife there was a string I had to follow, and I did not know where it would lead.
Where it led was the Roman Catholic Church, and it was there where I also discovered I had not been baptized! Thanks to the pastor and local bishop, I was sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit on April 2, 1994. For the first time in my life, I was nourished with the body and blood of the Lord.
My wife followed some years later, and Pope Benedict XVI even created a better way for Episcopalians to enter the Faith, bringing their beloved music with them.
Surely, the Holy Spirit is at work here!
During the summer, fall and winter of 1989, I was working on a particularly sensitive problem for the large chemical and plastics company where I was employed as a research chemist. Because I had worldwide contacts with scientists, marketing, sales and production people, I had a very broad access to all the pieces of the puzzle involving new products. Each group had their own unique input according to their area of expertise. But none had the whole picture.
After several months of study it suddenly dawned on me the solution to the whole picture. This revelation came to me at 2 in the morning. I jumped out of bed and wrote six pages of notes regarding the solution. The next day at work I started writing out the complete report. I was so happy.
However, when I submitted the report to the company it was rejected out of hand. I was stunned and amazed.
While considering this shocking turn of events, I heard these words in my heart: "Now I am going to show you all you've been looking at all your life, but never understood." In this revelation from above, Our Lord has helped me see, i.e., understand, the spiritual messages hidden in his creation, i.e., nature (Wis 13:5; Rom 1:20).
For more than 24 years now, I have been writing, teaching and studying God's message hidden in Scripture, nature, tradition and his one, holy Catholic and apostolic Church.
Jesus is Lord.
I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, faithfully attending meetings three times each week and engaging in door-to-door proselytism. Ironically, it was the Witnesses' literature that began the process that led me from the Watchtower Society and into the Catholic Church.
The Watchtower Society published a booklet containing heavily edited quotations from Church Fathers to argue that early Christians didn't believe Jesus and the Holy Spirit are God. Knowing this differed radically from traditional presentations of church history, I wanted to better understand the totality and context of these quotations. I therefore snuck into a library where no other Jehovah's Witness would see me researching forbidden Christian literature, and my world turned upside down: I discovered the Watchtower Society lied — in their writings, the early Christians had affirmed their belief in the Trinity.
Seeing the unreliability of the Watchtower Society caused my faith to slowly and painfully unravel. In leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses, I lost not only the grounding of my religious worldview, but also my Witness family and friends who were required to reject me.
At the same time, however, the Church Fathers had introduced me to a far greater gift: the real God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — and the Church through which I could grow in communion with the Trinity. Through immersing myself in Catholic teaching — and later exulting in the experience of attending Mass — I was gradually led into the Catholic Church, where I now worship the God I was once taught doesn't exist.
As an adult, I attended an Episcopal church in a small Oklahoma town. There weren't many of us, and when the church folded I made a seamless transition to the Lutheran church. One year on Good Friday, I visited St. Eugene in Weatherford, Okla., and was awestruck by the veneration of the cross. A few years later, a thought tumbled into my mind as if it fell from the clear blue sky: Why don't I go to the Catholic Church? I signed up for the RCIA class. I looked forward to class each week but was not yet ready to leave the Lutherans. The next year I took the class again and felt about 90 percent ready to become Catholic.
Then came Holy Thursday and the adoration after Mass. I followed the procession out of the sanctuary to another building. People sank to their knees, sat on the floor or on folding chairs. A worshipful mood prevailed with everyone focused on the Blessed Sacrament. Then, with a quiet intensity, the room became holy ground. The barriers between earth and heaven dissolved and human time was suspended. God's overflowing love subsumed every inch of space. I felt like I could stay there forever.
When I left that room I had no doubts anymore about being received into the Catholic Church.

The photoseries Skins by British photographer Rosanna Jones has all the necessary elements of alluring art; a distinctive and unique perspective, inventive technique and haunting imagery. Describing herself as a fashion and portraiture photographer, as well as a mixed media artist, Jones currently studies photography at Falmouth University in Cornwall, UK. Created as part of her Final Major Project, Jones began the series investigating how the face many of us present publicly ends up being the front which conceals our true nature from ourselves. This perspective is particularly poignant for a fashion photographer, who no doubt has seen firsthand an industry which is quite openly based on hiding and disguising imperfections. Says Jones, "…my theme was Concealment – looking at concealing ourselves until we're no longer recognisable."
Jones' work was also inspired by another photographer known for obscuring the human form, Rik Garrett and his Symbiosis series. Garrett explains his artistic goal in the over-painted photos as "erasing the boundaries of the human body. By applying paint directly to the surface of photographs, I have actualized an impossible dream…" a process that when paralleled to Jones' Skin series creates a unique bond between the two photoseries.
Jones is intentionally vague on the specifics of how the over-painted and (possibly) collaged images are created, which only adds more allure to the shrouded and obscured works. Says Jones, "A few people were confused when seeing them in real life about what they literally were – the more mystery the better I say – but they're digital photo collages which are then overpainted", giving each work both emotive beauty and metaphorical weight rarely seen in conventional fashion photography.

I Got The Hots For Miss Rio
How many of you have had a teacher like Daylene Rio, a stacked hottie flaunting her big tits and sexy ass? Not too many of us. Your editors were usually stuck with old bags. This is another indictment of the sub-standard educational system in America that has existed for too many years.
The tide is turning now. Every time you switch on the news, some hot, attractive teacher, sometimes married with children, is getting into trouble for fucking a student. It's an epidemic!
What we, with the assistance of Daylene, are trying to do in this video is to show how it should be done. Ms. Rio's lesson plan for today is to demonstrate the proper technique for a hand job with the aid of a dummy.
Unfortunately, two punks in Daylene's class are disruptive and unappreciative of her efforts. Ms. Rio promptly banishes these troublemakers to the office. That leaves her with only one student.

Latina Heat
The always super-hot Daylene Rio, the woman who could light your cigar just by touching the tip, is paired with Big Pike. A woman like Daylene deserves a thick cock stretching her pussy and mouth and Pike has fucked some SCORE superwomen before (Denise Derringer, Alexis Silver, Daphne Rosen) but not Daylene, a larger-than-life Mamazon who can drain a man of his nut-juice with the greatest of ease. This fate befalls Pike who is boob-drunk and ass-drunk at the first sight of Daylene. He rams into Daylene's pussy and gives her a major pounding and creaming that gets her screaming. "My very first boy-girl shoot was with SCORE," said Daylene. "It's still the most fun thing I've done. I love taking control and being assertive. My fantasy is to fuck in Dodger Stadium!" We couldn't shoot this scene in Dodger Stadium but it still hit a home run because Daylene always knocks one out of the park at SCORE.

That Busty, Lusty Spanish Teacher
Who better to teach Spanish than this sexy damsel? Miss Daylene Rio, SCORE Girl and part-time Spanish-language instructor in an adult education class, is trying to tutor a guy who has other things on his mind. These things include Miss Rio's whopping blouse mountains, her jutting bubble butt and her cock-sucking lips plus her beautiful face and shapely legs. Who the fuck can concentrate on any subject with an instructor like this? During a private Spanish lesson, student Johnny loses his mind, makes a grab for her culo and then her whoppa-whoppas. Miss Rio is shocked at his overgrown-delinquent behavior but not so shocked that she doesn't cave-in to her own horny desires. Before she can say "Class dismissed," her thick nipples are being sucked and her heavy tits fucked right there by her desk. Throwing caution (and her skirt, low-cut top, bra, heels and panties) to the wind, Miss Rio finds her hot hole getting finger-banged. There goes the Spanish lesson out the window. Daylene drops to her knees and, her massive, naked tits dangling and hanging free, feasts on Johnny's extra-large enchilada, trying to stuff as much as she can into her hungry mouth. She squeezes her heavy pillows together--with his cock in the middle--one of her favorite things to do for a guy. If his cock were a tube of toothpaste, every speck would have been squeezed out. Daylene gets on her desk for her first dose of hard wood in her pussy, and by the time her boob-shaking fuck class ends with a splash, they'll have fucked on the floor, fucked standing up and fucked on a chair. He even picks Miss Rio up and carry-fucks her. Looks like he's getting an A and a gold star from Miss Rio. When the teacher is stacked and hot Daylene, who would not want to be her #1 pupil? This student has taught the teacher a few tricks!

A Day On The Water With Daylene
Hitomi visited these odd structures on Biscayne Bay off Miami and did her thing for the SCORE camera. Now here's Daylene Rio showing her huge tits and pussy at the same location. "This is one of the most unusual places I've ever been to," said Daylene. "I've been to SCORE many times and I've gone on-location a lot but I never knew this existed. It must be the strangest place I've ever modeled. The windiest, too! It was so fun to be on a fast boat on the water. I had a ball playing with the pole. I love Miami."

Daylene & Sara's Big Juggy Adventure
What is the number one male sex fantasy no matter the nationality or race? If you're thinking of two hot chicks all over you, you're right. Threesomes of two girls-one guy are number one, way ahead of sex outside the bedroom or role-playing games. For this double big bang, two very special guests arrive. As SCORE editor Dave put it, "It's a historic moment." For the first time, mega-hottie Latina from California Daylene Rio meets Miami's busty, ass-cream queen Sara Jay. Together they work over their wood-man and extract his sap in a nasty, wet threesome. We couldn't resist having them compare their butts first while they wait for stunt-cock to arrive and whip his hose out in their faces. They both have round, soft, firm cheeks made for slapping and grabbing while their tight, well-trained cunts are being plugged by cock. "We're here to make fuck," said Sara, laughing in anticipation. "What are we going to do, Sara?" asks Daylene. "Titty sucking, some making-out, and then I think we should share a big piece of meat," Sara said. That meets with Daylene's gasp of approval. They both giggle with horny expectation. "I'm getting hungry already," Daylene said. "I'm ready to see a big stick go up her pussy...and lick the big stick after, and taste her pussy juice. We're going to get real messy very soon." "There's going to be lots of slob, and cum and spit," Sara adds. "Lots of sex," Daylene agreed. "Lots of butthole licking. It turns out we both like that ass licking," Sara said. "Lots of ass licking," Daylene echoed. "I love it." Two of the best busty cock worshippers in SCORELAND's history Daylene Rio and Sara Jay tackling one meat missile: throating, licking assholes, sucking balls, licking pussy, getting fucked every which way and sharing man-cream. Will this ever be topped? Maybe that's an impossible mission.

Breastfest In Bed
What's it like on the morning after a date with Daylene Rio? Well, Daylene will bring you breakfast in bed and feed you, because a guy needs his strength to keep up with a babydoll like this. And once you've eaten, Daylene will suck you hard and fuck your brains out. She will wedge your bone between her big tits. She will spread her pink pussy and ask if you want some. She will climb on top and ride you. Daylene will blow your cock and lick your balls, occasionally looking up to stare into your eyes and smile. When you climb on top of her and fuck her, she will hold her tits, lick them, look into your eyes and beg you to give her your hot load all over her sexy body. And when you do, she will proudly hold her tits in both hands and smile at you, pleased with her powers of persuasion. A date with Daylene always ends with a lot of man-pleasing after the subtle teasing when you're out in public with her.

"Butts & Boobs"
Ass-tounding Daylene Rio knows how to handle a man like Tony in this BootyLicious Special. "You want me to twerk that ass?" Daylene asks him. "You want that ass?" Daylene's fine tail begs to be eye-fucked, squeezed, spanked and rubbed before she takes his pocket pork in her mouth and gives him a sloppy blow job fit for a king. She's all about satisfying the guy she's in bed with. Daylene spreads her ass cheeks and Tony rams her tight cookie from the side, then rolls her over on her back to pound her some more. Miss Rio's huge hooters jiggle and wobble as she holds them together. The harder he fucks Daylene, the faster they jiggle. Hopping a ride on his meat monorail, Daylene pops and twerks her ass like she's competing in a dance-off. Tony gets Daylene face-down, ass-up and shoves his shaft into her. With a thumb, he plays with her butthole for a bit before he loses it and drops a nut-bomb all over her tantalizing tush. What can be said? This mami has always been too damn sexy.

Sexin' The Bra-bustin' Booty Babe
Daylene Rio enters the house where Tony has been waiting. With her tits, tush and face, she is worth waiting for. She's wearing a top and a skirt so tight, and heels so high, it's a miracle she can even walk. When Daylene sits down next to him, something happens. "Oops!" says Daylene. "My ass is so big I ripped my skirt." Daylene stands up and turns her bodacious butt to the camera. Sure enough, there's a big hole along the seam of her skirt. Tony makes the hole bigger by ripping it even more. That ass needs exposure anyway. Daylene turns around so he can pull off her blouse and get a mouthful of her big tits. They're huge, fit for a king. She sits and gets a grip on his cock, deep-throating him and giving him a cleavage crack to shoehorn his dick into. Daylene has many special talents and number-one on the list is the power to get a guy rock hard very quickly. Her pink taco gets wet just as quickly and it's ready to be filled with the beef. There are women and then there are super-women. Daylene doesn't need a big S on her chest to let the world know which category she falls under. Her big boobs precede her and her asstounding ass brings up the rear.

Massagin' Those Big Mams
Daylene Rio (XXXtreme Daylene on DVD) is always ready for sex. Not ordinary, routine sex. Daylene is always ready for spectacular, nasty, you-gotta-see-this sex. And that's the name of the game in "Massagin' Those Big Mams." This is Daylene's fourth fuck fling with JMac, a dude who knows her curvy body, big tits and big booty well and knows what buttons to push after all this time. Daylene's never gotten a massage in all of her numerous fuck sessions. First, some hands-on self-service as towel-clad Daylene waits for Mr. Masseur. Daylene's gigantic breasts dangle and hang, waiting for attention. She drops the towel, turns around and twerks her bare round ass at the camera. On her belly, Daylene sticks her butt out so JMac can oil up her cheeks. He goes to work on them, massaging her fleshy cans and thighs, sinking his fingers into her soft skin. Daylene sighs her approval. But the breast is yet to come. Those massive mams are next to be oiled and rubbed. The look of pleasure is in her eyes as her sensitive hooters are given TLC (tit loving care). JMac ends his massage and sits on the table, his boner ready to fill Daylene's mouth. She kneels on the table and parts her lips to suck. Daylene stands and JMac lies back on the table so she can compress her twins together and tit-massage his schlang. JMac tells Daylene to suck his cock. She leans forward, spits on it and opens her mouth, getting many inches down her throat in an impressive sloppy blow job. "Suck those balls too," JMac says. "I want you to fuck me," Daylene tells him, out of breath. On the table and then on the floor, Daylene gets a pounding, hard wham-bam-slam that has her screaming with every stroke. By the time Daylene is doused with a big load of nut-sauce on her tits and face, she's totally dick-drunk, her eyes glazed. She doesn't get this kind of massage that often. Daylene looks at the camera and licks up the cum that isn't dripping down her enormous jugs. Now off to the showers once the room stops spinning. Thank you and cum again, Daylene Rio. Always a pleasure.

I was raised Roman Catholic, and while our family wasn't devoutly religious, we were pretty observant. I made my First Holy Communion at age 7, my confirmation when I was 14 and we attended church on a semi-regular basis. Growing up, I also dappled in other religions, Quaker, Pentecostal and even the born-again movement. But, for me the other religions always felt like I was wearing someone else's shoes. I kept missing the peace I felt with liturgical aspects of the Catholic faith. That's not to say I felt like the Roman Catholic faith for me was a perfect fit either. I married, then divorced, and as I formed my own opinions about birth control, choice and women as church leaders, I felt less and less like the "Roman Catholic shoes" were a perfect fit. It wasnt' until I found my current church and the episcopal faith did I feel like I had found the perfect shoes to use walking in my faith. I love the ritual, tradition and the fact that I don't have to check my brain at the door of my episcopal church.
I also love this moment in the liturgical calendar. Holy week is meaningful to me because it makes me pause and think about what Jesus and his message was all about. Even if I didn't keep my Lenten discipline this year (and almost every year), I know I am profoundly loved and God accepts my imperfect self, as God loves and accepts us all. This was Jesus' message, and one which was not received in his time by those who felt threatened by it, by those who feared his radical message of love and inclusion. It is still a message which isn't accepted by those who are fearful of what love and inclusion will do to their power.
I didn't intend for this to be a preachy post but I have been so moved by what this day, Good Friday, means to me. I attended my church's Good Friday service today. I loved it. It was solemn, sad, and beautiful. Last night, too, I attended the Maundy Thursday service. It is another one of my favorite services of the year. It is a service which demonstrates the caring and loving example that Jesus showed his disciples. Those of us who wished to, performed the foot washing ritual on each other. At the conclusion of the service, the altar was ceremoniously stripped of its adornments, in preparation for the solemness of Good Friday. Today, at the Good Friday service, the altar bare and the chancel empty, the clergy wearing only their black cassocks and no other vestments, provided a powerful backdrop for the meditations on the meaning of this day. At the conclusion of today's service I wept as the choir sang the spiritual "Were You There When They Crucified my Lord?" I was moved by the humility of my rector as he knelt with reverence at the chancel steps, I was humbled God's grace as I realized that Jesus' life was meant to be the example of perfect love for the human family, and I was filled with joy and anticipation as I realized that this example of love, inclusion and justice is all I need to go out into the world and meet the challenges of life. For me, that is what is good about Good Friday.

DESIGN ICONS: Mr. Chair by George Mulhauser
DESIGN ICONS: Mr. Chair by George Mulhauser
2015-02-27 - We showcase the design icons of our top designers.
Here at Bugaboo we consider the Bugaboo Cameleon³ to be iconic of our design ethos as a mobility brand: the embodiment of a smooth ride, clever design and extraordinary value.
But what are the design icons that we aspire to? Well, we know one of Max's favourites is the Plycraft Chair & Ottoman designed by George Mulhauser. The Plycraft brand as its name suggests was a plywood furniture company that started life producing a whole load of Eames Lounge Chair knockoffs, but actually managed to create its own thing of beauty – and comfort – after employing then-popular designer George C. Mulhauser Jr.
The Plycraft Chair & Ottoman, or 'Mr. Chair' as it was coined, is a piece of mid-century-modern memorabilia and is most often seen with a leather cushioned upholstery featuring tufting buttons – the same kind you would find on a classic Chesterfield sofa. Mulhauser designed the chair in the mid 1950s after being employed by Herman Miller, the ones that produced the Eames Lounge Chair, and what makes it so special is that it was the first reclining lounge chair created from one single sheet of plywood, not to mention the look of it. Gorgeous.
Nowadays the chair is beloved by design enthusiasts the world over. Yours truly is stalking eBay as we speak!
George Nelson, Edward Wormley, Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Charles Eames and Jens Risom. Playboy Magazine, July 1961.

The Children's Hour
8:00 am - 10:30 pm
1675 Discovery Street
Vancouver, BC
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Festival
By Lillian Hellman
Directed by Alison Raine Tickets: $25/15
Revolving around a scandal at a girls' boarding school, Lillian Hellman's 1934 breakout hit play, The Children's Hour, is a heart-wrenching cautionary tale.
Karen and Martha run a private girls' school in a converted farmhouse in New England. When a young student spreads a fabricated story, the consequences are devastating. In a storm of gossip and prejudice, the teachers are forced to confront not only their community's reaction to slander, but also the truth within themselves.

The Toyota T-100 was a truck that filled the space between the midsize and full-size vehicles in Toyota's line. The Toyota T-100 was released in 1993 and ran until 1998.
Like almost all of Toyota's vehicles, the T-100 is known for its reliability. Even the oldest T-100 pickups will most likely run well for a long time to come if the previous owner took good care of it.
The T-100 suffered in the power department, though. The early 2.7-liter four-cylinder produced a wimpy 150 horsepower, which was not that much for a truck of its size. A later 3.0-liter V-6 was introduced that produced 190 horsepower, making up for the early blunder.
Although reliable, certain known issues came up throughout the vehicle's run. The 1993 to 1997 models suffered from the problems endemic with the A-40 transmission system used by Toyota at the time. The shifting of the A-40 was often rough, causing the bearings in the transmission to wear down and blow through the plate.
Excessive oil consumption was also common on the 1993 to 1998 models. This was covered by an extended warranty. Check to make sure this problem was solved before purchasing a used T-100. Also, check to make sure the water pump is fixed if you are considering purchasing a 1993 to 1994 model, since the water pump was prone to leaking.
Two recalls were also issued for the vehicle. Model year 1993 to 1998 models may suffer a fatigue crack on the steering shaft if the vehicle is constantly turned under high stress conditions or while hauling a heavy load. Another recall was made in 1998 due to defective wheel lug nuts. Check the NHTSA website for information on what serial numbers were involved in a recall before purchasing a used vehicle.
The Toyota T-100 has its problems. The initial engine was introduced to keep the vehicle competitive in the market as a low-price vehicle, but it largely lacks the power one would expect in a vehicle of its size. Skip these models altogether. The later V-6 model was just right for the two-wheel drive models. However, the V-6 tends to struggle when installed on the heavier Xtracab four-wheel drive models introduced later in the T-100 run.
The automatic transmission does insure a good take off from a standstill. Unfortunately, even the V-6 tends to struggle when maintaining highway speed. The handling is good on the two-wheel drive, but the stiff suspension on the four-wheel drive models, as well as the higher cab, tend to makes the truck hard to steer.
Inside the cab the T-100 is quiet. Little engine noise and little to no wind noise results in a quiet ride. The cab can sit two comfortably, with a third a bit scrunched against the radio and transmission. The Xtracab has an extra passenger seat that will fit an adult, but is rather hard to access. The seat itself is also thin and uncomfortable.
The T-100 has many faults that put it at a disadvantage in comparison to other pickups offered at the time.
The Toyota T-100 was discontinued in 1998 as the Toyota Tundra bowed. The midsize Tacoma pickup truck that slots below the Tundra is roughly the same size as the T-100.
A few changes were made to the T-100 pickup during its run. In 1994, some safety improvements being introduced to the T-100. A driver's side airbag was added. A side-door guard beam was also introduced to the vehicle to prevent injury during a side impact. A center-mounted light was also introduced to the cab. Two new models were also introduced in 1994: the two-wheel drive T-100 with the new V-6 engine, as well as a one-ton model for extra hauling power.
The 1995 T-100 had a few extra features. The Xtracab version of the vehicle was introduced. The weaker V-6 engine introduced in 1994 was dropped for a V-6 producing 190 horsepower, available with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. The Xtracab, which introduced an extra 27.1 inches to the cab, was available on the DX and SR5 models. The front bench seat was now available as a 60/40 split.
In 1996, the one-ton T100 was discontinued.
In 1997, bucket seats were introduced to the T-100 line. Sixteen-inch wheels were also introduced as an option.
No changes were made in 1998, mostly likely because the vehicle was ready to be replaced by the much better Tundra, which came with a 235-horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8 on its options list.
If you're looking for a compact pickup, there are others out there that are a bit smaller with better engines. As a midsize pickup, there were more powerful options, too. The T-100 is generally reliable and decent for city driving, but the poor fuel economy along with the other faults of this vehicle makes it a real dud.
1998 Toyota T-100
Truck, Utility/Offroad
The 1998 Toyota T100 is a two-door pickup truck.
1997 Toyota T-100
Introduced to the market in 1992 as a full-size pickup with a full-size eight-foot bed, Toyota kept the engine and suspension of a compact truck in the 1997 Toyota T100's design.
1996 Toyota T-100
The 1996 Toyota T100 is a full-size pickup truck that features the rugged reliability so commonly found on Toyota vehicles.
1995 Toyota T-100
While Chevrolet and Ford have long been known as the kings of the truck, Toyota has certainly made its own mark as well.

Middle School F&CS Overview
Family and Consumer Sciences (F&CS) at the middle school level prepares students to begin their journey toward becoming independent, productive citizens. The Middle School F&CS Education program in Indiana is designed to be comprehensive, holistic, and multidisciplinary across F&CS areas of study, and to be compatible with local school-wide approaches. Multiple F&CS areas of study are integrated into the FACS program are offered at each grade level (sixth, seventh, and eighth). Core F&CS Concepts and Core Process Competencies create a foundation for teaching and learning. The Middle School F&CS curriculum provides learning experiences in five domains:
- Career Planning and Continued Education
- Financial Literacy
- Nutrition and Wellness
- Human Development and Relationships
- Life Skills and Resource Management
The core F&CS concepts which are essential for all middle level students are organized around four areas central to all middle level students. These four areas of adolescent development are addressed in each middle school grade level program: 1. developing self-concept; 2. relating to others; 3. becoming independent; and 4. managing resources. Selected English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies are integrated into the applied contexts of F&CS.
It is the aim of F&CS courses that all students increase their ability to act responsibly and productively, work cooperatively, apply concepts of balancing school/work and family, create solutions to critical and emergent issues, utilize technology effectively in personal and family settings, and maintain healthy lifestyles. F&CS education provides the bridge needed by all students to deal with life and career issues.
F&CS at the middle level prepares students to acquire personal skills and plan ways to transfer those skills to the workplace; investigate and assume appropriate individual and family roles; understand and apply concepts of balancing work and family; and acquire skills and attitudes that lead them to contribute to the good of the community and society. F&CS curriculum includes acquisition of problem-solving, decision-making, higher order thinking, communication, literacy, and numerical skills in applied community, work, and family contexts. It is the aim of F&CS courses that all students increase their ability to act responsibly and productively, to synthesize knowledge from multiple sources, to work cooperatively, and to apply the highest standards in all aspects of their lives. Family and Consumer Sciences Education provides the bridges needed by all students to deal with major societal issues such as work-and-family, child and elder care, family and community violence and crime, and usage of technology. A variety of themes or focus areas, such as "Career and Life Connections", "Heart Healthy Hoopla", "Taking Charge 2000 & Beyond", and "Reduce Reuse Recycle", can be used in middle schools to develop the F&CS Concepts and the Process Competencies.
Middle School F&CS Framework
Grades 6, 7, 8 - updated September 2005
DOE Course Code: 0492
Grade Levels: 6, 7, and 8
Five Essential Units & State Academic Standards
F&CS Comprehensive/Enrichment Framework
Length of course varies according to local program resources and needs:
Minimum - 90 hours over the two- or three-year period a student is in middle school
Recommended/Preferred - at a minimum, 180 hours over the middle school years for achievement of the five essential units and standards needed by all students; additional days are required for coverage of the more comprehensive Middle School F&CS Framework content and for "elective" units or classes that offer enrichment and/or in-depth coverage of additional F&CS content
Indiana State Board of Education Rules: middle school students are to receive instruction every year in a minimum of two of the following program areas: Agriculture, Business, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Technology Education.
Students in Indiana Middle Schools are expected to achieve, at the minimum, the Academic Standards for the F&CS Five Essential Units by the time they finish the 8th grade.
Multiple F&CS areas of study are expected to be integrated into the F&CS program offered at each grade level (sixth, seventh, and eighth) as detailed in F&CS Five Essential Units Framework and Pacing Guide and the more comprehensive Middle School F&CS Comprehensive-Enrichment Framework that details 13 units of study.
Essential process competencies needed for living and working successfully in the 21st Century are addressed in each grade-level program, including five competency areas: (1) Identify, organize, plan, and allocate resources; (2) Work with others; (3) Acquire and use information; (4) Understand complex interrelationships; and (5) Work with a variety of technologies. Three types of foundation competencies (basic skills, thinking skills, and personal qualities) and four integrative focuses (citizenship, leadership, volunteerism, and managing change) unify the topics in each grade-level program.
F&CS programs at the middle school are to be based on curriculum and instruction standards that incorporate:
- student-centered curriculum with emphasis on hands-on involvement;
- focus on practical problem solving skills in developmentally appropriate real-life applications;
- activities that carry into family, work, and community settings;
- activities that aid students in planning for school-to-work transitions;
- increased efforts to maximize involvement in total school programs and in development of the school's basic educational goals for all learners; and
- learning environments, including project-based learning, designed to meet developmental needs of students.
