Academic Commissions
We may go to Notre Dame, but that doesn't mean our learning stops after we finish our homework. In PE, we are always looking for new ways to gain more knowledge and have a great time doing it!
Women's Wisdom Dinner
Sit down and share a meal with prominent women of the Notre Dame community. In the fall of 2015, PE residents participated in the second annual Women's Wisdom Dinner. Participants gained valuable insight as they enjoyed dinner and conversation with six females who act as influential role models on campus.
Trivia Nights
Do you enjoy fun facts? Friendly competition? Bonding with your section-mates and fellow pyros?
If so, come out to PE's trivia nights where teams representing each section try to answer questions from various categories with the goal of winning the grand prize (which almost always involves food).
Sustainability & Multicultural
As part of our efforts to broaden our knowledge, in PE, we try to inform residents of environmentally sustainable practices and promote exploration of different cultures. Check out our Sustainability and Multicultural pages to learn more about these commissions and their events.

While the NFL is by far my least favorite of the major sports, I do follow it closely in the playoffs. The playoffs start today, with the Wild Card round today and tomorrow. This season has had its fair share of surprises, but I did make some early predictions before the season started, and I will stick to those predictions. If you ask @prestonvjohnson or @ben_wagner of the PB&J Report (@pbjreport), I predicted Ravens vs Packers in the Super Bowl with the Ravens winning it all. As for this weekend, I think the games will go as follows:
Cincinnati Bengals 24 Houston Texans 20
Detroit Lions 31 New Orleans Saints 41
Atlanta Falcons 21 New York Giants 28
Pittsburgh Steelers 24 Denver Broncos 16
This would set up the following for the next round:
Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants
San Francisco 49ers vs New Orleans Saints
New England Patriots vs Cincinnati Bengals
Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers
With my prediction history, I'll probably be far off on all of these, but I guess we will find out by tomorrow night. Have a good throwball weekend.

We are "bringing dinner time back to the table!" Food lovers take note; Pasta Mama's gourmet pasta and sauces are about to become your new favorite products. The Washington-based All-Natural Pasta Manufacturing Company specializes in making delicious handcrafted and locally sourced pastas and sauces that will enhance your dishes. As CEO, Read Smith ensures the company's food isn't just delicious; it's responsibly and carefully grown.
"Pasta Mama's is not your ordinary, run of the mill pasta, in fact there really is no other pasta quite like it. Our flour is produced by Shepherd's Grain (shepherdsgrain.com) and Shepherd's grain producers using the "no-till" or direct seed cropping system which focuses on the health of the soil for future generations. Our flour is produced while saving fuel, reducing inputs and many off-site public benefits like improved wildlife habitat and diversity, improved air and water quality
We know where every bag of pasta was produced, how it was produced and by what farmer. Other pasta manufactures "suggest" they know where their flour comes from, but if you ask the right questions, you will see they really don't know. All the four we use is produced by certified "Food Alliance" farms. Food alliance is a third party verifier of approved production systems. Visit www.foodalliance.org to learn more.
Our manufacturing process is not a large extruded production system with machines that pound out millions of pounds of bland "factory" pasta. Our pasta is manufactured in small batches of less than 100 pounds hand mixed, pressed, cut and dried slowly to lock in the natural flavor of our "old world" pasta. We don't produce a cheap product, we produce the best pasta money can buy at a very reasonable price.
By supporting Pasta Mama's products you are also supporting sustainable agriculture, you are supporting carbon sequestration by our farmers direct seeding systems, you are supporting reducing wind and water erosion by 95% and you are supporting progressive family farms that go well beyond normal production agriculture to bring you products like Pasta Mama's while preserving and enhancing the resources under their control."

Despite suffering Premier League relegation last season, Aston Villa's new owner is continuing to dream big in his plans to develop the club.
New owner Dr Tony Xia during the press conference
New Aston Villa owner Tony Xia is looking to expand the club by developing feeder clubs in India, China and the USA, according to the Express and Star, alongside recruiting a new technical director at the club this summer to identify new talent.
The report suggests Xia's wish to build up a network of club's affiliated to Villa will be an integral part of his global plan for Villa's brand.
Xia has previously stated an interest in extending the club's network throughout Europe, but it appears he has cast his net even wider if the latest report is to be believed.
Picture Supplied by Action Images
The businessman will surely have been inspired by the way in which Manchester City have established a global brand in a handful of years by building similar relationships with clubs based in New York and Melbourne among others.
A desire for Xia to expand the club's attraction and network by adding feeder clubs is all well and good, but it is important that Villa put as much focus as possible on returning to the Premier League at the first attempt, and that they will be in a strong position to compete in the top flight if that goal is achieved.
What would be beyond terrible for Villa would be achieving promotion only to struggle once more, becoming one of a number of big clubs to start yo-yoing between divisions.
New manager Roberto Di Matteo and new owner Dr Tony Xia during the press conference
It could be argued that Villa's recent recruitment failures were the main reason for relegation to the Championship. The last two transfer windows saw a number of arrivals, with many moving from France, but even though there was the occasional moment of promise, hardly any players can consider their move a success.
For this reason, a fresh talent spotter is vital and encouraging news for the club, though of course only hindsight will reveal if whatever appointment made is a success.

Racist Notes Found In Campbell Dorm
While Campbell University celebrated the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, several students found racial slurs on small yellow notes attached to their doors. Five notes were found in the Small Residential Hall saying "Happy Nigger Day." The incident allegedly occurred as the school was holding its second annual Martin Luther King Day of Service project. Campbell officials said several students reported finding the notes, but it was confined to one hall in the dormitory. None of the rooms where the notes were found were occupied by black students. "If the perpetrator is found to be a student, according to university policy, the punishment for such behavior may be up to and including expulsion," according to Jon Roberson, Campbell Vice President for Marketing. A video of the sticky notes was also posted on Facebook online. Students responded on the Internet posting with comments ranging from disbelief to anger about what had happened.
Big frickin' deal. So what? The obvious double standard is that there can be Black History Month but no White History Month, a Black Miss America but no White Miss America, and no NAAWP. There are just as many racist acts and comments (yeah, you cracker) the other way, but they don't get media attention nor the dismay.

What: Movie Review
Taking base from the longest running musical in history, Les Miserables mostly benefits from an incredible cast. Its storyline is rather interesting as it also takes place during the French Revolution, and the characters are likable and forth coming. Everyone in the film, especially Anne Hathaway, seems to outshine a reluctant Russel Crowe, who seems to shrug this one off. However, brilliant acting and singing come from everyone else involved with the film, and its pretty much a dream cast consisting of Russel Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Amanda Seyfried. Overall, the film is entertaining despite too many close ups, Crowe, and some even more awkward camera shots that make for some confusing angles.

cats, Chuick Wendig, collaborative fiction, fae, fairy, fantasy, flash fiction, humor, pixie
Here's a tale about what your cat's really freaking out about when it stares at the corner and yowls.
This is the fifth and final week of Chuck Wendig's latest Flash Fiction Challenge – one person writes the first 200 words of a story, another person writes the next 200, and so on, until a collaboratively-written (and hopefully coherent!) 1,000 word story shows up at the end.
Part 1 of The Corner was written by Heather Milne Johnson, part 2 by Susan Penland, part 3 by Murgatroid_98, and part 4 by Shane Vaughan, each part separated by ***. My part closes it out.
The Corner
The cat stared at the corner of the bedroom. Her eyes were black disks with only a rim of yellow showing. She was stock still and it was creeping me out.
"Hey, Shadow!"
She didn't respond, not even an ear flicker. As I watched her, goosebumps popping up on my arms, she moved. Rather, her fur moved. Her tail puffed out like a bottle brush and a ridge of fur rose up along her back, unfurling like a hoisted sail.
A low keening noise made my heart jump. A sound of fear, pain, and sadness, it was coming from Shadow. I'd never heard the cat make a noise other than a chirpy sort of meow or a raucous purr.
The keening continued, rising and lowering in pitch in an awful melody. I got out of bed, walked over to Shadow and knelt down. She ignored me, still staring into the corner. The keening got louder and her body vibrated with the effort of producing that ghastly noise. I lowered my head until it was on a level with hers, forcing myself to turn my head and look at the spot hypnotizing the cat.
And I saw what she saw.
The light from the street lamp across the way lit the corner with a bluish tint, highlighting the object of Shadow's attention in the corner.
At first I thought it was a doll. It was propped up, stiffly leaning to one side.
I assumed it was a girl doll. Its hair was standing out in all directions under an acorn cap worn low over her eyes. She wore a dress with a tight bodice and a flared skirt like a tutu. Looking closer I saw the skirt was made from the leaves of an oak tree. Her arms were bare as were her feet. She stood with a knitting needle in her hand the pointed end to the sky and the end braced against her foot. Her face was dirty and like all doll eyes hers stared into nothing over my shoulder.
As I looked Shadow continued her keening
"Shadow. It's just a doll. Look." I said reaching out to pick the doll up.
The cat suddenly hissed and spit and backed up, while what I had thought was a doll lunged, knitting needle braced under her arm, shrieking in a high-pitched tone. Her mouth opened displaying a set of serrated teeth.
I fell onto my butt, crab-walking backward. It jabbed at me with the knitting needle and gnashed its teeth. Glaring at me and shrieking, it backed toward the open door of the bathroom. It turned and ran into the space between the toilet and vanity. I scrambled onto the bed, screaming. The doll thing shrieked from her hiding place while Shadow yowled from behind the laundry hamper.
I stopped screaming after a minute, gasping for breath, and examined myself for wounds, but there were none that I could see. Either I dodged fast enough or the little creature was as frightened of me as I was of her. She had stopped shrieking, but I heard little growls coming from behind the toilet. I hopped off the bed and yanked the bathroom door closed.
Shadow crept close to me, never taking her eyes off the door. I ruffled her fur with a trembling hand. "You're all brave aren't you, now that the danger is over?" The cat arched her back and continued to growl at the door. "Now, all we need to know is what that is and how we get rid of it."
"That," said a deep voice behind me, "is a forest pixie."
"It is?"
"It is."
"And what are you?"
"I am its brother."
"Oh, indeed."
"I'm… sorry?" I said as Shadow prowled over my hands.
"You should be. You frightened her. Do you know how long it takes to calm her down?"
"A… long time?"
"A VERY LONG TIME!" The voice in the corner boomed and from the shadows a small, stocky creature appeared. He was holding a rusty fork with a small crown of tinsel on his head. "Do you have any marshmallow?"
"Excuse me?"
"Marshmallow. Are all humans deaf or something? Marsh. Mallow. It's… mallowy."
"Yes, hang on, I might." I pushed shadow off my hands and reached under the bed to my one weakness: snacks. I took out a shoebox and pulled off the lid. Inside was a half-eaten bag of crisps, an unopened packet of chocolate digestives, two bars of smooth white chocolate and a packet of unpopped kernels.
"Does she like chocolate?"
"Dark or white?"
"I've got digestives, too."
"It'll have to do." He stormed up to me, grabbed the packet and marched to the linen closet.
He laid a large towel in front of the bathroom door, then nudged it open. The growling inside got louder. Shadow watched from behind my leg.
"Starthimble," the man called, "it's all right. Come out, now." He waved a biscuit. "Look – chocolate!"
He threw the biscuit on top of the towel and jumped back as the girl pixie practically flew out of the bathroom, landing on the biscuit and shoving it in her scary little mouth. Just as fast, the male pixie wrapped her up in the towel, tying the ends together around her. The girl pixie started shrieking again, and Shadow took off.
"That will hold her for now," the man said, slinging the trashing, shrieking bundle over his shoulder. He climbed onto the ledge of my open bedroom window. "From now on," he said, "keep your window closed at night."
"I can't do that," I protested. "It's the middle of summer. It was ninety degrees last night!"
"Do you want her back?" he asked. Without waiting for an answer, he jumped off the ledge and was gone.
I told all this to the sales person at Walmart, but she still made me pay full price for a fan.

For convenience store owners, space is always at a premium, and the type of shop racking you choose can make a huge difference to the efficiency of your store. It's important to plan your store layout carefully, including shop shelving and racking, shelving accessories, shop counters and refrigerated shelving units. Every little detail matters when you're working with a smaller space, and, since convenience stores generally stock a wider range of goods than other shops, you'll need shelving that can easily accommodate a variety of products.
Your first stop is wall shelving - the backbone of any convenience store, and the shelving that will be displaying the majority of your products. Wall shelving - as the name suggests - is assembled along a wall, with a number of units joined together to make a 'run'. Wall shelving backing can be adapted to suit the type of products you stock, for example: pegboard shelving for hanging items off hooks, magazine racking for paper goods, or adjustable standard shelving for packets, bottles and tins. Wall shelving also has a sturdy base shelf for stocking heavier, larger items, or stacking newspapers.
Next on the list is gondola shelving - double-sided free-standing shelving units that can be joined together to form aisles either side. These units are perfect for shaping your store and creating a 'flow' for your shop traffic. The obvious benefit of gondola shelving is that you can stock twice as many products because you have shelving on both sides of the unit. Gondola shelving can also be adjusted to different heights and interchanged with different backing according to your stock.
In addition to standard shelving units, you might want to consider investing in a chiller or freezer for fresh and frozen goods. Refrigerated shelving can really boost your sales for quick-grab items like drinks, sandwiches, ice creams and convenience meals. And finally, shelving accessories like risers, epos strips and dividers can help to organise your shelves and keep your shop looking neat and tidy. Temporary and free-standing shelving such as dump bins and wire stacking baskets are ideal for filling awkward spaces and corners or for creating a queuing space near the counter, and can stock promotional items, end-of-line stock or products that are difficult to stack on a shelf.
We stock a huge range of shelving and accessories at Shelving4Shops and can help you create your convenience store from start to finish, from planning your store layout all the way to delivering and assembling your shelving units! Visit our website at www.shelving4shops.co.uk or visit our Leicestershire showroom to see the massive variety of shelving available.

Extremes: Life, Death and the Limits of the Human Body
Kevin Fong
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton General Division
Format: Paperback
In anaesthetist Dr Kevin Fong's television programmes he has often demonstrated the impact of extremes on the human body by using his own body as a 'guinea pig'. So Dr Fong is well placed to share his experience of the sheer audacity of medical practice at extreme physiological limits, where human life is balanced on a knife edge. Through gripping accounts of extraordinary events and pioneering medicine, Dr Fong explores how our body responds when tested by the extremes of heat and cold, vacuum and altitude, age and disease. He shows how science, technology and medicine have taken what was once lethal in the world and made it survivable. This is not only a book about medicine, but also about exploration in its broadest sense - and about how, by probing the very limits of our biology, we may ultimately return with a better appreciation of how our bodies work, of what life is, and what it means to be human.

Teacher Bios
Nichole Smith
Nichole and her husband began homeschooling because they wanted their children to learn who they were and what an amazing Lord we have. She also wanted her children to have the freedom to learn in a way that fit their unique personalities and to enable them to reach their highest potential. With a background in Engineering, Aviation and a Master of Science in Safety, Mrs. Smith has always enjoyed teaching math and science. She brings a unique blend of science and inspiration to the classroom - always seeking ways to apply math concepts practically.
Nichole spent many years as a flight instructor, teaching people from diverse backgrounds to become professional pilots and instructors. It was homeschooling, and having children with learning disabilities coupled with amazing gifts, that gave her a true love for creative teaching. She has enjoyed tutoring students in math from middle school to college level for many years. She has taught math and science in co-ops, as well as spending several years teaching high school math in private schools.
I love the moment after explaining a concept, sometimes four different ways, when a student's eyes light up and they say, "Oh, I get it!". I really want students to understand why we learn math and how it will help them in life. In the classroom I do my best to tie math concepts to real world examples and purposes. I also tie in historical references for perspective and biblical examples of mathematics. I believe science and math are gifts from God to help us understand the amazing world He has created for us.
Rachel Worcester
Rachel Worcester is a home school mom with a passion to see her children walking in love, living with integrity, and well prepared for the future. As the mother of 11 children, she has been actively home schooling for the past 20 years. She absolutely loves teaching, especially her favorite subjects--Language Arts and Bible.
Rachel has been teaching composition, predominately classical composition, in a co-op setting for the past ten years. During that time, she has taught grade school grammar, junior high writing, junior level composition/ grammar, speech, college prep composition and advanced placement writing composition class. In addition, Mrs. Worcester has added an English Lit, and an America Lit course, combined with a world view and perspectives course. She has an upbeat, interactive teaching style intended to reach all learning types. She is able to break the complexities of English down into bite-size components that are more easily grasped,
As a strong advocate for classic literature, I was grieved over the decline in writing and reading skills as I observed our culture shortening and oversimplifying most written communication. I was encouraged to find that Andrew Pudewa, IEW's founder, had developed a system that was very effective in transforming simplistic and chaotic writing into high-quality, compelling composition. Within a few years, I had studied and participated in any IEW training I could find. How inspiring to watch young students learn to communicate effectively--It was a blast!
Anoushka Riley
Anoushka Riley was born in Curacao in the Dutch Caribbean. She is blessed to be married 19 years to her husband, Curtis Riley, and loves to be mom to her two gifts from God. She has truly enjoyed homeschooling her son and daughter these last years.
Anoushka graduated from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma with a major in Management and a minor in Human Resources. She also studied four years Hospitality Management at Ryerson Poly-technical Institute in Toronto, Canada, and one summer in Switzerland at the university of Hotel Lausanne. She has had the privilege to work for some years in many sectors of the Hospitality Industry and has enjoyed teaching Exploring Hospitality class to high school students at a home school program in Kansas.
It was in Curacao, an island that belongs to the Netherlands, that she was introduced to her love for languages. She has worked in the hotel industry managing Spanish speaking employees, helping with translations from Spanish to English. But it was in Venezuela, studying and living in a Spanish speaking country, that proficiency grew almost fluent while studying tourism management there. In the last 6 years, she has taught Spanish to many home school students in various co-op situations.
It is such a joy to teaching my students. My goal for the Spanish students is for them to get a better grasp of the language, and also to fall in love with the Spanish culture.The hospitality students will be exploring tourism & travel, lodging, and the food and beverage industry. Since acts of service and the ministry of generosity through hospitality is a passion of mine, I plan to introduce many activities throughout the year which will help students discover creative ways of serving one another.
Alicia Boots
Alicia has a degree in biology and health education. She worked in the Lawrence school district as a para, teaching remedial English. It is there that she discovered her passion for teaching, especially teaching struggling students. Before coming home to be a full time mom to her growing family, she worked for seven years with at-risk students through in-home mental health services. Alicia and her husband began homeschooling because they wanted to have deep relationships with their kids, while specializing learning for each child's unique needs.
For the past 6 years, Alicia helped to birth and administrate a co-op with as many as twelve families at a time. The families became one another's primary support before needs changed and many moved away. Currently, she works part time at Redbridge YMCA where she is a swim instructor for all ages, pre-school through adults. She also works as a lifeguard and swim team coach. This provides the opportunity for connection to the diverse local community.
I love it when students try new things and find out they really do have what it takes. I love it when they are in a safe group of kids where they can be themselves, receive encouragement and discover who God made them to be. In the classroom, I try to create this safe environment where I can take a kid from where he is and see him get past challenges that hold him back. I love that in a co-op setting, we all get to share our passions and help each other raise godly kids.
Linnea Davis
Linnea and her husband decided early on in their relationship to homeschool their kids. Linnea grew up enjoying her best friend's homeschool family, and that heavily influenced her desire to homeschool. Linnea enjoys the close relationships, the wide doors of opportunity, and the ability to tailor an education that homeschool provides. She loves an academic challenge, and loves what she has continued to learn through homeschool.
Linnea and her husband pursued their love of art and missions by attending Youth With A Mission's University of the Nations fine art school in South Africa. Shortly after returning, they began their family. Linnea began teaching art lessons to homeschool students and studying different styles of homeschool to implement with her own family. She ran a support group for pre-school homeschool moms and began a small family co-op with a friend. Upon moving to Kansas City, Linnea taught with the Classical Conversations program for three years. She desires to impart the love of learning to every student she teaches.
As an art turned logic teacher, I love to see the connections students make across subject lines. I love to see them challenged to think deeper and more wisely about the world and themselves in it. Reason originates with the Father, and it is a good gift He gives to us. I love to see students minds unlocked to the beauty of faithful reasoning!

Anita Weinzierl grew up on the mission field in Brazil, studying piano with a teacher from Austria. She met her husband while part of the Calvary Chorale at Calvary Bible College. Besides a love for God and for people, music was a driving force for both of them. They worked as a team on Calvary's small traveling group, with her husband, John, as music director, and Anita as his assistant and accompanist. After Calvary, she worked 5 jobs, teaching and accompanying all around the K.C. area for several years. When their four sons were born, Anita chose to stay home, teaching a full piano studio from her home. Later, she homeschooled her sons in their primary years while teaching piano in the afternoons. Their family eventually put together the Weinzierl Brass Quintet, playing for church events and weddings.
Anita received her Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Calvary Bible College in 1986 and her Master of Music Piano Performance at UMKC Conservatory of Music in 1989. After that she taught piano at Avila College, Barstow School, and the Toon Shop while she worked full-time as an accompanist at Grandview High School. Throughout the years she has served as Pianist, Organist, and Music Coordinator at Southwest Bible Church and Shawnee Bible Church. In addition, she has worked as an accompanist in the K.C. area throughout the years.
- Member of Federated Teachers of Fine Arts in Kansas City
- Full piano studio in her home, including working as occasional judge
- Belton High School Band Accompanist for soloists and Pianist at her local church
- Writer/Arranger for the Weinzierl Brass Quintet
I believe that humans are uniquely made by God to make music. Music has given me confidence, character, discipline, inspiration, and fun in my life. Music IS my life. I strive to pass on my love for music to my students, hoping that they, too, can have a relationship with music that will be with them all their life. And in so doing, we will become all that God intended us to be.
Tonya O'Brien
Scott and Tonya O'Brien began educating the first of their seven children at home over a decade ago and have now been part of various coops eight of those years. They have recently moved to a new community in Lee's Summit, MO after many years in Grandview, MO. When she is not teaching, planning or preparing to teach, Tonya has an avid love for learning and she still appreciates indulging by studying such topics as healthy living and dietary health, childhood development, brain & biology, loving God and loving others, and much more. Her current favorite read is Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk.
In addition to having worked nearly two decades in children's ministry at church, Tonya has devoted the last few years to teaching early elementary language arts, phonics, virtues, and mathematics. She prefers a multi-sensory approach and attempts to identify each child's learning style inclinations to pull in supporting resources when needed. She especially enjoys making connections through teaching, endeavoring to demonstrate God's love in educating. Scott and Tonya are long-time graduates of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and have taught the class multiple times as well.
God has utilized motherhood and teaching to educate me in several important lessons, and I look forward to many more. I am learning to value what He has already started in our children: a plan for each one with their own unique giftings, personalities and dispositions as well as their own distinct challenges and strengths. It is my desire to recognize, try to understand, and work WITH that plan in the education process.
Stephanie Powers
Stephanie is a homeschool mother of four who truly loves teaching children. She and her husband spent 16 years in Texas before moving to Kansas City three years ago. While in Texas, Stephanie served in many capacities in Children's Ministry programs in their local church. She has participated in several co-ops through the years with varying tasks such as hosting, teaching, and coordinating.
Stephanie's true love lies with teaching younger ages- those who are always so curious and ready to learn about the world around them as well as the One who created it all. However, as her children have gotten older she realizes that those curiosities don't need to end. Every age group has a love of learning inside of them and when it is accessed and nourished it can grow into a life filled with new things to discover. This is why she loves to teach with hands-on projects, experiments, and any tangible item at all--no matter their age.
I am very excited about teaching history and science classes this year and joining in partnership with this wonderful group to help educate our children in a safe, Christ-loving place.
Patricia Smith
Patricia Smith is married and has four wonderful children. She has been a home educator for twelve years. In addition to thoroughly enjoying being with her children, Patricia's desire to homeschool grew out of a passion to instill a Biblical worldview in them.
Patricia taught one junior high and two high school worldview classes at for the Kingdom Homeschool Cooperative in Lee's Summit, MO, as well as two writing classes. Additionally, she taught a government class and a junior high worldview class at Prudentia Homeschool Cooperative. Patricia also works with fourth and fifth grade students in a before school program at Belvidere Elementary School in Grandview, MO.
I believe that to teach students a Biblical worldview is essential for at least two reasons. First, one cannot be truly educated without the understanding that God is and the recognition that He created all things. Even in the disciplines or subjects of science, language, history, mathematics, ethics, government, etc, we are simply discovering or learning what God has revealed and communicated to us in His creative and redemptive orders. These are not disconnected subjects, but they converge because they flow from the same Source. Second, everyone has a worldview. Our most basic beliefs that shape our view of the world and the basis for our decisions and actions are rooted in it. Imagine if we purposefully live in the reality that God created us for His glory?
Renee Mansingh
Renee Mansingh is married to an awesome husband with two energetic sons. Originally from Topeka, she now resides in Overland Park. She has several friends and a sibling who were homeschooled and is discerning it for her kids when that time comes. Renee loves kids and started volunteering with them at church as soon as she was old enough. She has worked with elementary- aged and college kids but she has a special place in her heart for high school students.
Renee earned a B.A. in Psychology and a B.A. in Religious Studies, with a minor in Spanish. She served as a missionary for two years after college and then spent six years teaching in an urban high school. She recently 'retired' from teaching to raise her kids but can't wait to get back in the classroom at Red Bridge. A bookworm at heart, she is very excited to teach high school American Literature and English 10-11.
Many of my dearest role models were my teachers. To me, they were faces of Christ's love, both tender and tough. I hope that I can be a small reflection of him in my student's lives. They always impact me as much as or more than I impact them.
Michelle Tharpe
Michelle Tharpe grew up in Monroe, Louisiana. She is married to Michael Tharpe and they have one daughter. She had the privilege of homeschooling their daughter through high school. While in Louisiana, she and her husband were youth pastors and worship team members for eleven years. They moved here in 2003 to be a part of International House of Prayer. She is currently an associate worship leader at a Nazarene church in south KC.
Michelle attended public school during elementary and high school with the exception of two years at a private Christian school. She has a BA from The University of Louisiana at Monroe. She taught at their church's A.C.E. school for three years. When their daughter was born, she became a stay-at-home mom, knowing from the beginning that homeschooling would be they way they would educate. They have been involved in co-ops through the years in which Michelle has taught Bible, History, Choir and other subjects.
I am really looking forward to working with preschoolers this year. I love that age; there is so much wonder at all the things they are learning. It is truly a joy.
Karen Grimes
As a child, Karen "taught school" to her imaginary students out in the tool shed of the small farm where she grew up outside Rolla, Missouri. She has always loved teaching. With her father a university professor (& farmer), and her mother teaching home economics both in the classroom and on the radio, she knew teaching was in her DNA. During High School Karen asked God if He was real and then next day a friend invited her to her youth group. Because the Holy Spirit was moving that night, she knew she would never be the same and became a believer one night after attending a youth group meeting. God answered her prayer, just like in Psalm 40:2, "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
Later, Karen went on to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a focus in art. She taught third and fourth grade in Kansas City, Missouri and first grade in Kansas City, Kansas. After getting her masters in Learning Disabilities she taught students with Special Needs in Blue Valley School District. Since getting married and having children of her own, Karen has enjoyed staying at home, taking seriously the task of raising her two children into being a Godly man & woman. Most recently, Karen has been teaching children in art. She loves the art processes, and allowing children to see and relate to God through creativity.
I love learning and seeing how everything connects to God and all He has created. I also love seeing the light come on in a child's face with he/she makes these being with kids and seeing them discover and learn.
Audrey Purtle
Audrey is from the Kansas City area. She had many different school experiences as a child, attending a number of both private and public schools, but always admired her homeschooled friend's study skills and love of learning. When she and her husband Bryan began homeschooling in 2004, she was beyond excited to delve into a life-long journey of learning with their five children.
Audrey and her family were a part of Classical Conversations for four years, where she taught for three of the years, and her husband taught one year of the challenge level. Their family then moved to Turkey, where their already deep love of culture, geography, history, people, and their desire to see the gospel spread was deepened and experienced at a new level, as they walked among ancient places and saw history come alive. After their return to the states, they became a part of a local church, Bellicose Church, in midtown Kansas City, where Bryan has served as an elder and co-pastors for the past two years. Audrey is passionate about classical education and wishes to instill in students a real love for learning. She enjoys learning while reading to her kids, going on long walks, and tending to her garden.
I have fond memories of my first U.S. History class, when I was in fourth grade. Learning became a joy to me during that year. Through the years I have loved going through U.S. History, as well as the history of anything, with my own children; each time learning something new, and growing in my appreciation for Gods purposes and His story.
Nathaniel Worcester
Nathaniel Worcester was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. Although he knew of God from a young age, it wasn't until he experienced God's all-encompassing grace in a time of trial that he really developed a relationship with the Lord that could thrive through the realities of day-to-day life. After finding the Lord, he volunteered for a leadership position in a ministry in Georgia for a year. At that time, he had an opportunity to teach Biblical principles and life skills in a classroom setting.
The second oldest of a homeschooling family of 11 children, he's held a fascination of science and chemistry from a young age. Often he has helped little brothers and sisters to understand mathematical and scientific principles, or tutored others through chemistry. It was the instruction and enthusiasm of Deb Callow that really made chemistry come alive for Nathaniel during high school. He spent the next 4 years experimenting and researching with hobby chemistry; creating his own lab and experiments. Nathaniel has some college education, and looks forward to continuing his formal education in the future. Presently, he is taking a break in order to take a year or two of training at Forerunner Music Academy.
I hope to bring clarity and love of science to the students at RBA.
Mary K Clinton
Mary K. Roberts Clinton was raised in Overland Park. Her family is active in their neighborhood, in Shawnee Mission schools, civically involved, and attends Presbyterian church every Sunday. They went to the Billy Graham Crusade held at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. As a girl, Mary K. babysat for the neighbors' children, organized a talent show fundraiser with neighborhood children for City of Hope, as a teen was a youth ministry leader, and during college, she was a lifeguard. Awarded a scholarship for International Christian Youth Exchange, she lived in Germany and served in a kindergarten and retirement home, and assisted with a Lutheran junior high retreat. After college, Mary K. was the children's ministry assistant, a worship leader, led in short term mission trips to Guatemala and Mexico, and worked in office administration at her church.
Mary K. and her husband, Greg Clinton, have been married for 26 years, and have five wonderful children, ages 23 to 15. Mary K. and Greg chose to homeschool to provide an individually tailored education and consider the safety and well-being of each child, and to pass on their faith. The Way They Learn and Every Child Can Succeed written by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias inspired Mary K.'s perspective as well as Dr. Geraldine Stites of The Moore Academy. As a family at home, they were a "house of prayer". Little Pilgrim's Progress by Helen L. Taylor was a family favorite.
Mary K. graduated from the University of Kansas, with a B.A. in Political Science with plans to pursue law. Her teaching experience is with The Daniel Academy (K), Classical Conversation (ages 6-11), His Grace (8 and 9 yr olds.), Red Bridge Academy, and in the summer, VBS at Colonial Presbyterian.
"It is a privilege to learn" is a declaration spoken by students in an account I read. I have, in turn, taught the same. Thankfully, we can homeschool. It remains, "a privilege to learn." Individual pace and process is highly personal and is to be respected. Parenting and raising children is a marathon, and in this light, we are very grateful for Red Bridge Academy.
Marcola Smith
Marcola was raised on the expansive flat plains of western Kansas near golden fields of wheat and under never-ending skies. Growing up in the church gave her an awareness of and a love for the deeper mysteries of life. It made sense that she ended up marrying a talented musician-turned-pastor where they both serve in their church in Belton, MO. Marcola has two delightful and entertaining boys from whom she loves to learn how to be childlike again.
Marcola received a dual degree from Manhattan Christian College and Kansas State University in Christian Education and Elementary Education. She taught second grade at Whitefield Academy for six years before leaving to raise a family. Marcola earned her black belt in karate in 2015 and is also a certified personal trainer.
A transformational concept I learned years ago as a first time teacher was to teach kids the love of learning. This idea has shaped my own pursuit of learning and it has inspired me to want to model how to love learning. Life is much more exciting through the lens of exploration, imagination, and the understanding that learning is life-long.
Johanna Feamster
Johanna Feamster was born in Manhattan, Kansas but spent most of her life growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her passions in school were singing in choir, acting on stage, and learning and speaking Spanish. She also loved attending her family's Presbyterian Church, and especially going on mission trips to Spanish-speaking countries.
After high school, Mrs. Feamster got a bachelors degree in Spanish from Louisiana State University before living abroad in Spain for two years as a missionary. During her time in Spain, she taught Spanish to immigrants and then returned to the States to teach Spanish in a high school before her first daughter was born. Since then, she's been a stay-at-home mom of two beautiful girls.
The reason I teach is because it makes me so happy! I get to connect with new people, watch students learn about the things I'm passionate about, and I get to learn new things alongside them!
Brenda Cacy
Brenda grew up in a small farming community, caring for the family horses and pets as her daily chores. She liked school so much, she played school with her friends in her free time and began tutoring in high school. She grew up going to church as a social experience and came to know Jesus at 16. She has been growing in love and surrender to Him ever since!
When she had children of her own, she began homeschooling. Currently, she has 3 college graduates, 2 more high school graduates and 3 she is still schooling. She has taught math, science, art and history in 6 Kansas City homeschooling co-ops. She has also tutored with Freedom Fire Urban Ministries.
My passion is to instill a love of learning as I teachthe skills necessary to grasp each concept. I really enjoy my students and hope that joy in them and the subject is contagious!
Cariane Knudsen
Cariane Knudsen originates from Texas. She and her husband have spent the last 7.5 years serving in East Asia with a Christian non-profit. Her two boys were born and have been raised overseas. She and her family have repatriated to the US this summer.
Cariane graduated from Houston Baptist University with a BA in Multidisciplinary Studies, Early Childhood-4th grade. Immediately after graduation, she moved to East Asia. While there she has taught in two international preschools and an in-home kindergarten/first grade school, Creative Foundations. The time teaching at Creative Foundations was a refreshing change from the other schools that she had experienced as a teacher. C.F. is run by a friend and fellow believer who is aware of each child's individuality and learning needs as well as implementing Kingdom values into each school day.
For me, teaching is about the joy on a child's face when they have that "aha moment" in their learning. Those little educational moments scaffold to form and shape them. And my favorite part is being able to implement Kingdom values into these moments that in turn will solidify into a firm foundation. Proverbs 22:6
Marilyn Kuhns
Marilyn was born in a log cabin in the tiny town of Libby, Montana and has lived in 4 other states. She was homeschooled until 7th grade and then went to a public school followed by high school in a private Christian school. These experiences have allowed her to get an understanding of how each one works. She is the oldest in a family of 8 children and loves life in a big family! Being the oldest she has gotten practical, hands on experience in caring for infants and children.
Marilyn has a great love for working with children, in particular infants and toddlers. She has worked in 2 in home daycares, and as a nanny for 2 different families in the Kansas City area within the last 2 years. She has also just returned from a nanny position in Europe.
Working with children brings so much joy to my life! I love the blunt honesty they bring and seeing the way that they view the world around them is refreshing. Helping them reach new milestones is always a joy for me!
Cindy Westergaard
Cindy is a home school mom, who initially started this journey when her son was five and very active. Cindy and her husband, Kyle have since adopted four other children from Russia, Colombia, and South America. The three children from Colombia were all behind in school, and also had many gaps in education. Home schooling was the answer to help them all catch up in school and succeed. Three of the five children have since graduated from high school, and have gone on to college or the military.
Cindy has a degree in social work. She currently works part-time in the Raymore-Peculiar School district with Parents As Teachers. She has been a home school teacher for the past 16 years and has worked with children who did not understand any English and had learning difficulties.
I love it when a child realizes that they can succeed, even in a subject that had previously been very difficult for them. I really enjoy helping them open as many doors of opportunity as possible for their future.
Juliet Dunteman
Juliet Dunteman is a homeschool graduate and completed her last three years of high school at Red Bridge Academy. One of 7 children, she was born in Kentucky and grew up in Grandview, Missouri.
From an early age she gravitated heavily toward the arts, taking art classes at every opportunity and vigorously filling up sketchbooks. Starting in junior high she began to work for Sharon Jeffus of Visual Manna, a successful homeschool art curriculum, for whom she traveled with locally and nationally for the next four years assisting and teaching art. She taught multiple classes independently, online, and led classrooms of up to 40 students in drawing and painting projects. Since then she has completed multiple murals and works on art commissions between cleaning houses and raising her son, Dylan.
Art is fascinating in that it channels emotion directly from the creator to the viewer. My passion is taking this medium and cultivating it to channel light and uplift the soul. Even grander is sparking excitement in others to build their own expression in excellence. Anyone can art!
Jeff Davis
Jeff had an epiphany about learning in his early thirties as he and Linnea decided to enter the homeschool journey. The homeschool world was new to him, but having the responsibility of teaching and modeling for his own kids unlocked a real love of not only learning, but sharing that knowledge.
Jeff has a Bachelor's in Fine Art from the University of Alabama with specialty in Painting. His call to ministry and mission led him and Linnea to Youth With A Mission South Africa early in their marriage, where they were part of the Arts Foundations School. He has a passion for the Arts and Missions, and is currently involved on a volunteer basis with the International House of Prayer as an artist and musician. Jeff loves to see others find their callings, especially people called to the Arts. He is currently the Director of Add to the Beauty Arts, a ministry for those called to use Creativity to share the Gospel. As an addition to his "toolbox", Jeff recently received a CELTA certificate for Teaching English
as a Foreign Language, a real "crash course" in lesson planning.
I've always been tuned in to the "Why" questions of life and education – not just knowing information, but seeing patterns and significance in the information. In the classroom, nothing would satisfy me more than seeing Students discover their own natural ability to learn, to ask, and to discover, with the clear aim of self-management taking initiative that homeschooling is all about. I believe that discovering how creative God has wired all of us to be is the key to unlocking a love of learning.
Hunter Smith
Born and raised in the Kansas City area, Hunter Smith grew up in a homeschooling family that values learning, loving Jesus, and speaking one's mind. Brought up in a Christian home, she has known the Lord from a young age. She knew God as a Father and a comforter. But it wasn't until she searched for a relationship with the Son and started listening instead of just speaking to God, that she found a deeper understanding of faith.
As the oldest of 4, caring for children is a skill she learned at a young age. She also has 7 years of professional child care experience, and 4 years of tutoring experience. Hunter Smith is a Red Bridge Alumni, and has taught Latin, Science, and Math at RBA. She has also worked as an aide for Biology. With her parent's guidance, she found wonder in the world around her and a love for science. She worked as an intern for 2 years in a Biochemistry Lab at KUMED. This passion led her to the medical field, where, with God's direction, she completed a 5 month YWAM Medical Discipleship Training School in Fiji. Through this experience, she found her calling in nursing, and is now pursuing a RN/BSN degree at JCCC.
I love learning new things, exploring God's world and I hope to inspire that same wonder in my students!
Liberty Worcester
Liberty Worcester grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and received her preschool- high school education through homeschool co-ops and from home. Raised in a family of ten children, Liberty learned teaching skills from a young age when she helped her younger siblings with their homework. Through her teen years, she enjoyed various sports; playing years of soccer and basketball, and swimming competitively for twelve years. These experiences helped shape and enrich her schooling experience.
Even before Liberty graduated highschool at Redbridge Academy, she taught math and nursery classes. Currently enrolled in college, she received her EMT certification in May 2017, and is continuing her education for a paramedic degree. In the last several years, Ms. Worcester gained experience in the childcare department of a gym, The Jewish Community Center, where she helped children, ages 1-12, learn to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
In my opinion, nothing is more exciting or joyful than helping children learn to grow and develop, both mentally and physically.
Cindy Hilker
Cindy grew up in Lee's Summit and completed her BS in Business Administration from UCM with a major in Computer Information Systems and Accounting. She and her husband have homeschooled their three children since 1999, with their youngest graduating this year. In addition to teaching her own children, Cindy has taught in numerous homeschool programs including Good Shepherd Academy, Cristos Academy, Essentials and Challenge programs in Classical Conversations, and various smaller co-ops. Cindy realized the Lord had gifted her with the ability to "interpret" complex subjects and communicate them in a way that could easily be understood – long before her own children were born. Consequently, she and her husband were children's pastors at Christ Triumphant Church in Lee's Summit for 25 years. Cindy also has a heart for the nations and has been on several missions trips with her family, most recently to Cambodia to work with human trafficking victims. The Hilker family are also avid Royals fans and history buffs.
I love helping students learn, especially in the areas of math and writing. Many people say, "I'm not a math person," or, "I don't like math." But I believe they just haven't had it explained in a way they could grasp, and naturally, they don't enjoy working with something they don't understand. I love encouraging and instructing students and watching them move from struggling with a subject to mastery of it.

It takes a lot of people to run a congee shop. One to dish out the congees which require simply pouring, such as 白粥, 艇仔粥, 豬紅粥, 皮蛋瘦肉粥, 免治牛肉粥, 魚片粥. One to cook the specialty congees such as 及第粥, 豬腰豬肝粥. One to steam the 腸粉. One to fry the 油炸鬼, 牛脷酥. 煎堆. One to serve those eating in the shop. One to serve take out orders. One to collect the used bowls and dishes, and to wash them. One to cook congee inside. ... I counted at least 8 people working in the shop one morning.

In regards to all the information and ideas springing up as of late, relating of course to politics, society, NWO, et cetera - folks are getting so caught up in semantics that they are losing sight of the larger picture.
Doesn't anyone realize that when they obsess over the symbols and key words of the occult/satanist/illuminati/whatever that, despite being against it, they are feeding it energy and therefore, power? I know it sounds like magical thinking or whatever, but think about this... If you choose to focus on your personal solutions to the problems in the world today instead of on obsessing over debunking this, that, or the other, you will evolve and in turn help others around you evolve. And it will spread.
Think about what you are against.
Are you against the lying corporate media?
Unplug that TV set of yours, take it out in your yard, and smash the fucking thing. You don't need it. And when you realize you have all this time and money on your hands that you used to waste sitting in front of that glowing box of lies and manipulations, you might think about moving on to the next idea...
Are you against corporations and overblown, unchecked, irresponsible mass consumerism?
Then be a mindful consumer. Buy only what you need from companies that you believe deserve your support. Don't advocate waste and poisonous materials. Learn how to create things you need or want. There's a tutorial for everything, and if you say "I can't do it", you are only lying to yourself - because if you have two hands and a brain, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. It may take some practice, of course, but who is good at anything straight off the bat?
Are you against the government?
Stop giving it your full attention. Govern yourselves. Why, in this day and age, do SO MANY of us still believe that one man can change the world? Why do we feel we need some "Daddy" telling us the difference between right and wrong? Oh, that's right - it's because through the above two topics, and others (public schools, laws against the most ridiculous bullshit, religion, etc), they have reduced us all to their little teat sucking babies.
You want change? Then go out there and MAKE IT. No one's gonna do it for you. Keep feeding into a system of lies, and you will continue to live in a system of lies. Even if all you're trying to do is expose the lies to as many people as you can get to listen. Why don't we work from a place of love instead and expose the truth in how we could really be living, instead of "look at who's out to get you?" If we stop paying them attention, they will wither away! Why do we continue to watch documentaries and not know what to think, the shock and awe is still working on so many of us - even and especially many of those who consider themselves "awake"!
Remember - the bad guys in this don't want you to think for yourselves. They want you to divide and hate - it doesn't matter who, either. Hate them, hate other races, hate other religions, just keep on hatin! That's giving them what they want. Period. So for "truthers" or "freedom lovers" to make it a point to send out messages of hate not only towards the "powers that be" but to others who share some common enemy, think twice about whether or not they are really telling you the whole truth. We don't all have to agree with each other, but there is no reason for not embracing the idea that we can coexist. Remember - 6 billion people on this planet. ya can't be friends with every single one of them, nor can you be enemies with them all either. So surround yourself with people who you can get along with, and let all others move on. Forgive and then forget. We will never stop declaring war on other countries, on our government, on our peers, and on ourselves until we learn that simple idea. Forgive and forget! Yeah, I know - for those of you who feel the need to demand justice, this sounds ludicrous and impossible. Well, I too believe in justice. But I think that since this is 2008 and we still are at each others throats after all these decades, maybe we need to try something different. We need to teach ourselves, we need to learn from each other, we need to share what we know and what we can do. We aren't weak! We aren't stupid! I just want to see people rejecting all the notions they are against and start building something more positive. And maybe some folks still wanna live like animals and hate everything - let them do it in their own neck of the woods, folks. This is what freedom is - everybody does what they want to do. You can have some basic common sense rules for people to live by, of course. The way I see it is, so long as folks aren't abusing, killing, or stealing from anyone else, the rest of it all would just fall into a harmonious place. No one has respect anymore. We all have such vastly different beliefs, and everyone thinks they are right, and refuse to learn anything new from someone with an opposing opinion. How can we ever be free if we can't just accept others for who they are and agree to disagree? Why build up so much hatred and hang onto it so that it leads to mass generalizations? People are still individuals, you know. No two people have exactly the same belief structure - they can run parallel but who the hell agrees on every single thing, anyway? THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN THE TROUBLE WE'RE IN, FOLKS! Because "Daddy" in DC doesn't like gays or believes that abortion is immoral, or that the rich are more deserving of benefits than the poor... Every situation is different, mass generalizations do not work in the real world!
Please ponder on these things. We need to stop fearing, stop hating, and start creating and loving, and learning - especially on the forgive and forget thing. Agreeing to disagree could go a long way towards bringing about true freedom and peace.

Much has been made in the media over the Federal Communications Commission's Lifeline program, which helps make telephone service more affordable for poor families. Most of the media coverage, however, has been slanted and misleading.
Last month I testified at a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce's subcommittee on Communications and Technology titled "The Lifeline Fund: Money Well Spent?" My testimony provided a factual account of the history of the Lifeline program and the ways in which it is bettering lives today.
Lifeline has an important goal: to ensure that all people have access to affordable communications. Lifeline is a treasured tool that achieves broad societal objectives such as upward mobility. It positively and directly affects our economy, employment, healthcare, public safety, strong families, civic participation and education.
The idea that we, as a country, should remove barriers so that all people can access communications is not new. In fact, the concept of universal service can be traced back to the Postal Act of 1792. Lifeline's roots are in the Reagan FCC, which created Lifeline at the behest of a bipartisan group of congressman and senators.
Lifeline now provides phone service to millions of people. Who are these people? According to one provider, most have a household income of less than $15,000 per year. Nearly a third are over the age of 55 and more than one-third are disabled.
Stories in the media of corporate abuse for profit have drowned out the stories of the very real people that use Lifeline as a tool to improve their lives and move away from government assistance — for instance, the story of a disabled mother from Tennessee caring for a child with Down syndrome, who said "It gives me peace of mind to know that I can always call for help." Or the story of a veteran and double amputee, who uses wireless Lifeline to coordinate his doctor appointments and communicate with family while away from home; of a single father who was laid off but secured a new job in just a few months using his Lifeline; a pediatrician in Boston, who treats fragile children living in shelters, public housing and on the streets — she can monitor those children because of wireless Lifeline service; a mental health therapist in Baltimore, who explained that Lifeline could have helped when one of her third-grade clients attempted suicide at school. His mother had no phone and was difficult to reach that day.
I think you get the picture. The vast majority of Lifeline recipients are grateful seniors, deserving veterans and folks who are going through the hardest times of their lives — facing job losses, illnesses, disability and family tragedies. Lifeline enables the most vulnerable members of our society with access to 9-1-1 emergency services, the cellular AMBER Alert notifications and the emerging wireless emergency broadcast system Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN) that saved lives during Hurricane Sandy. For these people, Lifeline literally lives up to its name and must continue.
Many respected leaders in Washington, D.C., are rightly concerned about protecting the program from fraud, waste and abuse. Included in that group are some very smart and capable people at the FCC, including Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn. The FCC has instituted sweeping reforms to the program so that the fund reaches its intended recipients. The FCC is to be congratulated for its ongoing oversight and protection of this vital service.
At the end of the day, Lifeline is creating a pathway out of poverty. It is the ultimate government service because it is helping people help themselves.

Dhalla objects to Tory candidate helping immigrants
According to Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla, something rotten is afoot in Brampton-Springdale; it's Conservative candidate Parm Gill.
Dhalla is upset that Gill has been extending his help to local immigrant families, helping them fill out the applications necessary to help their family members move to Canada.
"In those cases the families have been called before even I was notified, that had they had been accepted and approved by the minister's office and they were called by Parm Gill," Dhalla complained.
She alleges that her constituents are unwilling to come forward because of some form of intimidation. (Which seems strangely at odds with what the facts seem to be. Helping people get their family into Canada is an odd form of intimidation.)
For Jason Kenney's part, he suggests Dhalla is largely fabricating her concerns.
"That's completely ridiculous, you know, she's a Liberal MP who's under a lot of pressure, and of course she's going to make unfounded and ridiculous accusations," Kenney declared. He also suggests Dhalla does a poor job of serving her constituents.
"It's because they can't get any service from their member of Parliament and that's one of the reasons why I think Parm Gill should be elected member of Parliament for Brampton-Springdale," Kenney declared.
"Mr Gill has every right as a private citizen to provide volunteer unpaid advice," Kenney continued. "I understand he has taken no payment for that. He has never claimed to represent the government or me, but he's just providing a volunteer service and that's totally legitimate."
It's not over in Brampton yet. Dhalla -- who was also the MP behind a ludicrously-irresponsible bill that would have granted pension benefits to immigrants after they'd been in Canada for only three years -- has spent a great deal of time pandering to the immigrant community in her riding. Even if she's done a poor job of serving her constituents, she may yet be able to win reelection based on that pandering.
So even though Ruby Dhalla got outhustled in her own riding, she may yet outrun her principal opponent.

family tree
I used the templates so generously provided by Erin, of Sutton Grace, for this family tree project. This is the second of two trees that I've made as gifts for other people.
I'd say it's high time I made one for my own little family, wouldn't you agree?
p.s. It can be hard to find a suitable frame for this since the final measurements are 24" x 20". Try the thrift store first. I found a really nice 24x24 frame at my local thrift store for my first family tree for $10.

I love it!!!! I had my eye on it while I was at your place. I love that it is from a template so I don't have to figure it out all by myself. So beautiful. Good idea about the thrift store for a frame.

Our first flight was fairly uneventful. We flew into Mexico City, which is one of the most confusing airports I have ever been too. First we went to an information stand and they told us to go through immigration. So we found a stand that said immigration and he told us to go to gate 25 which was right next to the information stand. Since nothing was at gate 25 we went back to information and they told us to go to gate 15. As we are headed there we reached a checkpoint and the man there told us we haven't gone through immigration and to go back to gate 25. Luckily, at this point we ran into another couple on our plane that flew through Mexico City all the time. Turns out there is a sign near gate 25 that tells you to go downstairs for immigration. There were hundreds of people going through the line. First we had to fill out a form asking if we have had coughs or anything in the last two day which Andrew and I promptly lied on since we both had colds. Once we made it through immigration and had our passports stamped we went to a waiting area where we had to watch a screen to see which gate we needed to go to. We ate some lunch and then finally heard that we needed to go to gate 9. We got on the plane and there was a lot of turbulence when it took off. So much that I grabbed Andrew's arm and was holding onto it for a good 10 minutes with my eyes closed and a few tears getting out. After flying my whole life I suddenly have a fear of flying and I don't know where it came from.
When we finally land in Cabo there are hundreds of people from different flights waiting to get their bags of off one conveyor. Once I have two of our bags I hurry to get in line to go through customs because by this point the line is very long. As soon as Andrew meets up with me they open another line and we are the second ones so we get out fairly quickly. Then we have to make our way through all the time-share people pretending to be our hotel so they can whisk us away for a few hours of presentations. Luckily, our hotel had emailed us ahead of time tell us to just go to the right and walk all the way outside where we will see the real shuttle that is taking us to our hotel. While I was trying to get to the door outside some guy kept yelling "Miss" and something else in Spanish after me. Andrew later told me he was trying to tell me I wasn't allowed to go through the door I was headed too. Thank goodness for the directions from the hotel.
When we got to our hotel we checked in and Andrew asked if we could be upgraded to an ocean view room (we had booked a garden view). There weren't any ocean views available so instead we were upgraded to a pool view. When they took us to our room we were blown away. It was absolutely breathtaking! All of the decorating is beautiful and the view was spectacular, looking right out over the three infinity pools. After unpacking we decided we needed to head to the local Mega Store in order to get a few things for some meals at home since it would be way too much to eat ever meal out. The store was only about a 20 minute walk away and when we were done we took at taxi back for $5. When the taxi dropped us off at the lobby they asked our room number and took our groceries up for us. Lucky too, because Andrew and I managed to get lost on the way back to our room and they found us wandering the next hallway over. After a light dinner and shower we both decided it was time for bed as it had been a very long day and we had to go to the owner's update presentation in the morning.
On Friday we woke up at 7:00 to get ready for our presentation. It would be including a breakfast as well so we didn't have to worry about that. We were in a private presentation and our guide first took us to Flor de Noche which is a restaurant in the middle of the pools where they were serving us breakfast. It was such a beautiful morning with such a wonderful breakfast.
After breakfast we were given all of the information to buy more points for vacations and then they took us on a tour of the best rooms in the resort. First we stopped by the wedding chapel which is a four-story open air chapel. It looks right out over the pools with the beach and giant waves crashing in the background. Next they took us to a 2-bedroom ocean view room which was gorgeous. The next room was the 3 bedroom penthouse which was unbelievable. Only pictures could describe it. After our presentation was finally done (1 ½ hours turned into 2 ½ hours) we put on our bathing suits and headed out to the beach where we had heard about a place that gives 1 hour massages for $35. Sure enough we found it right between two resorts. We ended up getting the massages for $30 a piece and they were wonderful. They were just as good if not better than any massages we had received before. We have plans to go back one more time before we leave (which makes sense since we can both get 2 massages for the price the resort would charge for just 1 of us). On our way back to the room we decided to stop at the pools for the first time to take a quick dip. The water was just the perfect temperature and exactly what we needed to relax even more. After about an hour in the pool we decided go back to the room and clean up before we head to the town of San Jose Del Cabo which was about a 20 minute walk. We had heard of a wonderful little restaurant called Habeneros and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Andrew had a steak burrito and I had a pulled pork torta with fresh mango, avocado and apple slaw. It was delicious. Andrew admitted that I had the better meal and is looking forward to ordering it when we go back. After lunch we decided to walk to the downtown of San Jose Del Cabo. We had read the it was a nice quite little town with a quaint feeling. While the town square itself looked like it had potential if they finished construction of the fountains, the rest of the town was pretty dead. We only saw a handful of tourist and most of the souvenirs had dust all over them. We didn't spend very much time there before we decided to walk home. After the walk back to the resort we decided we had done quite a bit for the day. Plus, it looked like my face was getting a little too red. We came back to the room and just lounged around for the rest of the day. Tomorrow we have reservations on a catamaran to go snorkeling and spend the day in Cabo San Lucas. We also hope to go parasailing later in the week.

Basic Concepts and Theories of Pragmatics
The term pragmatics was first introduced by Charles Morris, a philosopher. He contrasts pragmatics with semantics and syntax.
- Syntax is the study of the grammatical relations of linguistic units to one another and the grammatical structures of phrases and sentences that result from these grammatical relations.
- The study of the relationship between linguistic forms, how they are arranged in sequence, and which sequences are well-formed. No consideration of any world of reference or any users of the forms.
- Syntax is the study of the relationship between linguistics forms, how they arranged (Yule, 1996).
- Semantics is the study of the relation of linguistic units to the objects they denote.
- The study of the relationship between linguistic forms and entities in the world; how words literally connect to things; attempts to establish the relationships between verbal descriptions and states of affairs in the world as accurate or not, regardless of who produces that description.
- Semantics is the study of the relationship between linguistics forms and entities in the world (Yule, 1996).
- Pragmatics is the study of the relation of linguistic units to people who communicate.
- Using language in various, unconventional ways.
- Pragmatics is the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker and interpreted by a listener (Yule, 1996).
Some Definition of Pragmatics
- Mey, 1993. The science of language seen in relation to its users, as it is used by real, live people, for their own purposes and within their limitations and affordances.
- Morris, 1938. Pragmatics concerns the relation of signs to their interpreters.
- Gazdar, 1979. Pragmatics = Meaning-Truth conditions.
- Thomas, 1995. Pragmatics is meaning in use or meaning in context.
- Yule, 1996. The study of meaning as communicated by a speaker and interpreted by a listener.
When playing different roles, our language means are not the same. We choose different words and expressions which are suitable and appropriate for the situation. The utterances we used have the same referential meaning but their pragmatic meaning is different, as they are used in different contexts. Utterance contains a propositional base (objective part) and the pragmatic component (subjective part).
Context is the surroundings that enable the participants in the communication process to interact, and that make the linguistic expressions of their interaction intelligible. It refers to user-oriented point of view; how all linguistic elements are used in a concrete setting. There are some kinds of context, those are:
- Physical Context: where the conversation takes place; what objects are present & what action taking place).
- Epistemic Context: background knowledge shared by the speakers and hearers.
- Linguistic Context: utterances previous to the utterance under consideration.
- Social Context: the social relationship and setting of the participants.
Aspects of Speech Situation
How do we know that we deal with pragmatic, rather than semantic phenomena?
- addressers and addressees: include speaker-hearer, writer-reader
- context of an utterance: relevant aspects of the physical or social setting of an utterance; shared background knowledge
- goal of utterance: conscious volition or motivation, goal-oriented activities
- illocutionary act: a speech act. While grammar deals with abstract static entities such as sentences (in syntax), and propositions (in semantics), pragmatics deals with verbal acts or performances taking place at particular situations (more concrete level).
- utterance as a product of a verbal act : use in a particular situation
Utterance versus Force Meaning
Utterance meaning is the first level of speaking meaning. It is a sentence context pairing. Force meaning is the speaker communicative intention.

The Washington Huskies are headed to Lansing for a Sweet 16 battle against Michigan State on Sunday after they advanced on penalty kicks against Furman last week.
"I'm really excited, I wish we were playing tomorrow so we could ride this wave that we're on," redshirt senior goalkeeper Spencer Richey told the UW Daily on Monday. "But when Sunday comes I know I will be ready for it. I know the guys will be excited to play and hopefully our win will give us a little extra juice for this Sunday."
"There is nothing better than confidence for players and he's on top of the world and he can't wait for the next game to start, and that's what you want with a goalkeeper," head coach Jamie Clark said. "And honestly I think it's two of the top five goalkeepers in the country because they have a very good goalkeeper too, so it will be a fun contest for those guys."

Call for Clarity and Action
This kind of misrepresentation is a disservice to the national discourse.

The MSM may have gotten the idea from watching Angels and Demons. Seriously.

Dear Clayton,
I know, and the thought is terrifying to me.
Journalists (I hate the "J" word, by the way) ought to hold themselves to slightly higher standards than dime fiction scribblers, though.
We really cannot let that sort of stuff slide, when we see it.
So many people out there do not hate the Church or disagree with Her positions, but rather hate a distorted image of Her and disagree with systematically falsified representations of Her positions on so many issues. This is dangerous for the republic and poison for souls.

This post is a long-winded answer to a question Bryn Llewellyn asked me on Twitter about comparing expression lists.
Sabine Heimsath recently tweeted a regret about CASE and "tuples", and gave an example of what she meant.
This is an example of a "simple" case statement (or expression?) using expression lists, not tuples. Tuples are unordered sets of attribute values, and here order matters. As Sabine discovered, this syntax is not supported.
[Update 2017-05-09: a case statement ends with
END CASE and has statements after each
THEN keyword. A case expression has expressions after
THEN but does not have the
CASE keyword at the end. Sabine appears to have mixed the two syntaxes.]
Oren Nakdimon then gave an example of a "searched" case
statement expression that handles expression lists:
Sabine thought this meant that IN works and "=" does not. I replied that "=" works, but only in SQL not in PL/SQL, and provided you put an extra pair of parentheses around the expression list on the right hand side.
This led to a question from Bryn Llewellyn:
Since I need more than 140 characters, here is my attempt to answer Bryn.
His example is a simple comparison condition. If you look at the illustration below (taken from the documentation), Bryn is using the lower form with parentheses around the left-hand expressions. Therefore, the expression_list must also be surrounded by parentheses.
Additionally, since there are multiple expressions to the left of the operator, the expression_list must also be in its lower form:
So there must be an additional set of parentheses.
All of the above are from the SQL reference. The PL/SQL language reference has its own documentation on comparisons, and I have found no explicit reference to expression lists.

Ok…a little personal information here.I have been seeing a therapist for some time.I love going to him and having someone who is there just for me.I don't have to worry I am talking too much about myself and I get to gain clarity and insight on ways to better myself and grow.Unfortunately we just lost our insurance so at least for right now,I won't be able to continue.I have often thought that half of the benefit for me has been the 2 hour round trip drive to get there.I can be alone,listen to music and enjoy the gorgeous drive.I pass by pastures that are the foothills of Mauna Kea(14,000 ft. inactive volcano that we live on!)and most mornings are just exquisitely beautiful.I always wish I had time to stop and take it in,but I am usually racing against the clock.I had already planned to re-shoot some new items this morning before my appointment at my usual location -my good friend Bonnie's front yard.I almost canceled with her since I had to cancel my therapy appointment but at the last minute decided to go for it.As I was approaching the pasture area I suddenly had a spontaneous idea to call Bonnie and see if she would meet me out there.She was game and we had the best morning shooting in a new location.It was a perfect day…bright azure skies,gentle trade winds,the grass in the pastures rippling in the breeze and magnificent Mauna Kea like a monument to all that is right in the world behind us.Just wanted to share a few pics from today(I totally forgot to get one of Mauna Kea!Drat!)
So,my therapy session went really well!I think I like this new therapy:spending time with a sweet friend doing what we love to do in a beautiful,inspiring place!GIVE THANKS!
