True to his word, John Millman went down flinging leather. Andy Murray was shaken, then finally stirred to put the game Queensland qualifier back in his box at the Brisbane International last night.
Millman, the world 199, had sworn he wasn't going to be a doormat for the US Open and Olympic champion, who has eyes on Grand Slam title No. 2 at the Australian Open.
Nobody really believed him. The injury-prone 23-year-old had to slog it out on the qualifying courts just to make the main draw and found himself facing the world No. 3, fresh off his best year as a professional.
We should have taken more notice. Millman didn't get over the line but in pushing the Scotsman to three sets on Pat Rafter Arena won new fans and new respect as he heads into the Australian Open as a wild card.
For a fleeting moment, with a few true believers daring to dream of an alternate reality, Millmania became infectious. Just as it rumbled into life, Murray resumed command of a match most thought he would win with his eyes closed, icing it 6-1 5-7 6-3 as Millman retreated from a rousing second-set crescendo.
"In my dream I won," Millman said of his night out. "I've always been one who fights to the last point. I don't get people who tank. I've been brought up that way. I wasn't going to go away in the second set. I gave myself a chance to win it and I took it."
Millman was partly buoyed by his own performance and partly disappointed he couldn't spring the upset, even if Murray is just warming into the new season.
"I hope I can play better. I can't settle to lose matches. You want to win regardless of who you play. Obviously it was early in the season for Andy and it was a good opportunity for me. I tried to take it and fell just short."
Millman looked every bit the new kid at school by the end of the first set. He poured his soul into every shot but Murray was too savvy, confusing him with canny lobs, accuracy and crisp power to race away with the opener.
Then the unthinkable. Millman's house of cards was fortified with steel scaffolding. Murray's unforced error count (36 in all) soared and the hometown upstart loosened the shoulders. Believing he belonged, break points came and went until finally he earned a shot at the set.
With coach Gary Stickler in the stands, Millman held his nerve, pumped the fists and took it into an unscheduled decider as Murray went searching for his game.
"He's a lot better than his ranking, that's for sure," a relieved Murray said afterwards.
"Tennis right now, the depth is so strong. He started playing great tennis, taking big risks and it was paying off."
Murray looked well out of sorts during his slide, grabbing at his side at one point and missing the kind of shots he would normally devour like kippers on toast. Even so, he located reserves of class and courage just in time. Such is the difference between the world No. 3 and 199.
It was a watershed night for Millman in every way. It was only his fifth ATP match and he's never even hit a ball at a Grand Slam. He will leave with immense confidence that he can mix it with hardened tour pros and is one step closer to a Davis Cup appearance, a lifelong dream.
On the same night young Queenslander Ash Barty, just 16, made her mark at the Hopman Cup with a 6-0 6-3 demolition of 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, Millman's effort added more evidence to the suggestion there is life yet in Australian tennis.

The second season of

At Wednesday's game,
Tom Church scored the
first goal against St.
Mary's after 15 minutes of
play. The second was
scored by • Bobby Clark.
Joel Kraakevik made the
third goal.
Before they played,
Clark said, "We see them
as a hard-tackling, aggres-sive,
young team."
All the goals were
scored in the second half,
beginning with Mark John-son's
two goals in a row,
followed by one from Neil
Kaiser and then Clark.
The team attributes
much of its continuing suc-cess
to a solid defense. Bo

Monday, Oct. 5.
"Aerobic exercise is a
program designed for
every Bethel woman who
is interested," said Cindy
Berglund, who directs the
class. "It can meet the
needs of the individual no
matter what her level of
physical fitness."
The program began last
fall after Berglund had
taken a similar class at the
Community Dance Center
in Minneapolis. The
classes began last October
through the Wellness Pro-gram
and • were well at-tended.
"Sometimes we had up
to 100 women and had to
send some away because
it was just too crowded,"
said Berglund.
Each hour-long session
includes stretching and
muscle toning exercises.
Berglund stated, "Last
year, we stretched out 15
minutes at the beginning
and end of each meeting.
In between we had a half
hour of 'non-stop bop-ping'."
Berglund said they
also take time out to check
heart rates to ensure that
they are exercising at a
healthy pace.
AcCording to Berglund,
aerobic exercise is not
only an excellent way to
exercise, but is a good
study break, an opportun-ity
to meet new people and
a good source of energy.
Physically, it aids in ton-ing,
weight loss and coor
When asked what
brought her to aerobics
last year, Michele Shies
stated that it was a great
way to keep in shape
throughout the year. "It
also gives me more ener-gy...

she said.
As routines are learned,
participants will be en-couraged
to share ideas

Theft robs spirit too
Sometimes the beef-board is an amazing source of
information. Last week someone submitted a letter
pointing out the occurrences of theft in the coffee shop.
Some quick checking with Linda Erickson, supervisor
of the coffee shop, confirmed the report. According to
Erickson, the problem is not limited to the coffee shop
but is schoolwide. The cafeteria and copy room were
cited as examples.
Theft in general is always difficult to accept in a
secular society. However, theft at Bethel—those words
seem a contradiction in terms. Bethel is held up as a
Christian example. Christians are supposed to be
somehow special, a different breed of people. Those
who call themselves Christians are expected to be
honest and trustworthy.
It may be that some of the culprits are genuinely too
poor to buy their food. If so, they need to contact
Student Affairs and the Financial Aid Office for help
rather than steal from the coffee shop. Somehow,
poverty in this college is no excuse.
Perhaps there are other reasons for the problem.
Some students may steal because they like the thrills,
the "How much can I get away with" attitude. That is
just childish game-playing symptomatic of the deeper
problem of spiritual immaturity.
Another sign of spiritual immaturity is apathy. Who
cares about a 20C carton of milk?" "It's not wrong to use
the copy room without paying, it it?" Students who do
not think enough to pay do not even think about the
consequences or the problem.
Thrills and apathy are symptoms of a much deeper
problem within the community. This unit called Bethel
must be internally consistent. If it is not, Bethel is
hypocritical. Then, what good are classroom devotions,
chapel gospel teams, prayer and share or any of the
other spiritual outreaches? Bethel needs to reach in and
deal with its internal Problems.

TO: Faculty, Administra-tion,
Staff and Students:
An ad hoc committee
has been established by
the Board of Regents to
assist in identifying the
best candidate(s) for dean
of Bethel College. As pre-sident-
elect I was invited
to suggest a format for the
search and selection pro-cess
and to nominate per-sons
for membership on
the committee.
The Search Advisory
Committee is ultimately
accountable to the Board
of Regents but includes
among its members both
regents and faculty repre-sentatives.
Warren East-lund,
vice-chairman of the
Board of Regents, will be
chairperson of the com-mittee.
Regents Leith An-derson,
and Gunnar Kron-holm
will also serve.
With the faculty mod-erator,
I drew upon the
Faculty Governance Com-mittee
for advice in pro-posing
faculty representa-tion
on the search commit-tee.
Jerry Healy, Stan An-derson,
and Bill Smalley
were appointed as faculty
representatives. They will
devise suitable means to
insure adequate reflection
of range of faculty senti-ment.
Mark Publow, as presi-dent
of the. Student Asso-ciation,
was also appoint-ed
to the committee.
The committee, as the
name implies, is an advi-sory
body in the selection
of a person to nominate to
the Regents for appoint-ment
as dean. The com-mittee
may also be asked
subsequently to advise the
Regents prior to their ac-tion
upon the nominee. I
will be an active partici-pant
in the search com-mittee
and will take initia-tive
in the search to insure
the widest pool of quali-fied
candidates is avail-able.

Donald N. Larson, professor of linguistic and anthropology,
expresses views on the importance of self-education.
Bethel taking steps to
prevent assault on women
by Donald N. Larson
Do you ever realize how much you begin to change as
a learner when you started school? When you were
born, you began learning almost immediately, Without
conscious awareness, you used those around you as
your first teachers. You developed a learner-teacher
relationship with your elders and peers. You had no
formal learning situation. You learned informally and
independently. You followed a learning cycle charac-terized
by four principles: get what you need; practice
what you get; use what you practice; test what you use.
As you progressed, your competence expanded and
deepened. Your performance, doing and making, im-proved.
Your performance was always limited by your
competence, and your competence was always limited
by time, energy, resources, opportunity and will. As it
failed, according to the judgments of elders and peers
whose feedback you interpreted immediately, you con-tinued
to expand your competence and sharpened your
performance. Thus, new needs were continually being
In summary, you managed the educational process
very well. You used others as teachers. Then having
learned from them, you became teacher yourself. You
foutid others to play the learning-teaching game with
The following is a compilation of excerpts from "Why
Not Educate Yourself," a paper written by Donald N.
Progress was handled differently at school. You were
progressing when you were obeying the instructor and
giving him what he thought you needed to give. When
you gave responses which he approved of, you were
rewarded with letters and numbers which, according to
the system, symbolized your ability and obedience. You
developed new goals and objectives for school: to
appear able and obedient, to do and make what the
instructor wanted. You measured achievement and
progress in the instructor's terms, not in terms of
satisfying your own needs.
Why not become independent once again? Never has
self-education been so important. At a time in history
when change occurs at a frantic pace, the career you
select at age twenty-one might be obsolete by the time
you turn thirty. Without the capacity to educate your-self
continually, you are in grave danger of premature
social deterioration and all the problems that follow in
its wake. But managing the situation is not easy. The
educational system has made many its servant and
crippled some for life.
The capacity for self-education can be recovered. It
really peaks when you generate output that those
around you can put to use. It involves not only self-instruction
but utilizing the results for the benefit of
others. The ultimate goal of the educational process is
never intended to be primarily selfish. Only when it is
seen in relation to the needs of others can it be properly
In today's world, where one's contribution to society
is measured in terms of creative potential, leadership
ability, self-discipline and critical judgment , the ability
to educate oneself has never been more important.
Senate fields questions on Spire
by Diane Hudson
Although rape has been
rare at Bethel, steps are
being taken to acquaint
Bethel students with safe-ty
precautions and infor-mation
about sexual as-sault.
Residence staff mem-bers
met at the beginning
of school with Ramsey
County Hospital nurse
Cathleen O'Leary, and
Charles Wilt, the director
of the Comprehensive Psy-chiatry
Clinic, for needed
information. A self-pro-tection
booklet for women
will be distributed on
campus next month.
On Thursday, Oct. 1,
Barbara Leigh McGrath of
Minneapolis' Sexual Of-fense
Service, spoke to
Keith Davis' "Crime & The
Criminal Justice System"
class about rape and sex-ual
McGrath defined who
can be called a victim, the
effect of the offenses
against the victim, the vic-tim's
needs and rights and
how to prevent assaults.
If a woman is assaulted
and reports it to the police,
a specific procedure is fol-lowed.
The police come to
wherever the vicitm is, of-fer
transportation to med-ical
help, take a statement
and look for evidence.
Legally, the first person a
victim talks to after an
assault can testify in
court, so the police may be
the best to call, according
to McGrath.
At the hospital, the vic-tim
receives both physical
and psychological help.
According to Marilyn
Starr, Bethel's dean of
women, victims do them-selves
a great disservice if
they fail to notify anyone.
"Rape is a violent crime
against a person and
should be reported," said
Starr. "For their own per-sonal
healing, victims need
to go through the process
of knowing they are OK
persons. Workers at Ram-sey
County Hospital are
very skilled in this."
The law concerning rape
and sexual assault was
changed June 5, 1975, to
delineate the crime to the
1st, 3rd and 4th degree,
designating the
crime's severity.

The future of the Spire,
Bethel's yearbook, was
discussed at an open forum
conducted by the Student
Senate and attended by
nearly 20 participants
Monday, Sept. 28.
In a session dominated
by this concern, the only
other significant action
was the election of Beth
Neufeld for a Senator-at-
Large position.
Vice-President Cheryl
Thomas explained the pur-pose
of the forum as a
means for the senators to
hear students voice their
opinions. The Senate has
the ultimate responsi-bility
to decide on the
matter after the Com-munications
Board, a stu-dent
group overseeing spe-cific
media issues, makes
its recommendation later
this month.
Dona Amann, editor of
the proposed '81-'82 Spire,
addressed the group first,
claiming that a hasty de-cision
and ill-advising by
a previous Senate left the
Spire staff with unrealistic
budget expectations.
"However," she stated,
"the responsibility lies
with this Senate to make
the best of past mistakes,"
Citing such yearbook bene-fits
as an increased sense
of community spirit and
school pride as well as the
traditional means of pre-seving
memories, Amann
proposed several alter-natives
to relieve the pro-blem.
She first called for
greater Senate backing.
Fund-raising by the Spire
staff were also being plan-ned,
Amann said. As a last
resort, various features of
the book could be omitted
to decrease printing costs.
Senate treasurer Brice
Russell then presented the
rocky financial situation
that is the root of the prob-lem
surrounding the
Spire's production.
Among those comment-ing
from the floor was Phil-ip
Rohler, faculty advisor
for KABY. Rohler urged
the senators to first deter-mine
if the Spire's po-tential
value for Bethel,
and if found valuable, to
commit themselves to its
support. "Don't give up just
because it's struggling
now," he said. Many stu-dents
voiced similar chal-lenges
to the Senate.
Both Rohler and Charlie
Retts, advisor to the Sen-ate,
agreed that a faculty
advisor was crucial to the
future success of any year-book
What's the next step for
the struggling Spire.
According to Vice-Presi-dent
Thomas, the Com-munications
Board will
meet to discuss the situ-ation
in light of a change
in time limits. Senate had
been operating under the
assumption thata decision
must be reached by Octo-ber.
Instead, a February
cut-off is possible, ac-cording
to Amann.

Diversified Nevins becomes full-time faculty member
by Debbie Sayler
She wants to learn how
to fly and she's willing to
try any kind of sport ex-cept
parachuting. She has
recorded an album and
writes music and poetry.
She was a women's bas-ketball
coach and she has
had two concussions from
playing football. At one
time, she wanted to be a
dean and now she wants
to be a professor.
This is Kathy Nevins,
new assistant professor of
psychology at Bethel Col-lege.
To some at Bethel, Nev-ins
is a familiar face. She
has worked in the Bethel
community in several cap-acities
since 1977. This
fall, however, Nevins be-gan
as a full-time faculty
Nevins earned her B.A.
degree in psychology from
the University of Colo-rado
and her M.A. degree
at Kansas State Univer-sity.
Presently, she is work-ing
on her Ph.D. in coun-seling
and student person-nel
psychology at the Un-iversity
of Minnesota.
Prior to coming to Be-thel,
Nevins worked as an
instructor in psychology
and as associate dean of
students at Ottawa Uni-versity
in Kansas.
In 1977, Nevins married
and moved to the Bethel
community with her hus-band
Joel Fredrikson, a
Bethel seminarian. Nevins
and her husband began
their first year at Bethel as
resident directors at Foun-tain
Since then, Nevins has
coached Bethel women's
basketball, served as as-sistant
to the dean in
charge of programming
and as a part-time instruc-tor
in psychology.
Nevins' experience-with
other colleges helps her to
evaluate Bethel. She likes
Bethel's liberal arts em-phasis.
"I believe in the
concept of a liberal arts
education," Nevins said.
"It helps to develop the
Nevins noted that many
Bethel faculty members
have a deep "concern for
the student as an individ-ual."
"I appreciate people
who care about others,"
she said.
Before coming to Bethel,
Nevins taught at Ottawa
College, a Christian school
that allows non-Christians
to attend. Nevins believes
that at a school such as
Ottawa, Christians are
more challenged in their
faith. She is concerned
that the hoinogeneity at
Bethel could lead some
students to be too spiritu-ally
"One of the ways we
expand ourselves is to
give ourselves contrasts,"
she said.
Nevins' many interests
include a love of music,
sports and reading. Ten
years ago, she recorded an
album of her composi-tions.
She composes mu-sic
mainly for the guitar,
but she has also composed
some orchestra pieces.
She plays the viola for
the Bethel orchestra and
also likes to play the pia-no.
She and her husband,
who is now an associate
minister at First Baptist
Church in St. Paul, both
sing and play the guitar.
Nevins enjoys sports,
writes poetry and loves
musicals and the theater.

Music' from heart," she

Studies and archeology dig highlight Israel summer tour
by Lori Bemis
This past summer, nine
Bethel students participat-ed
in a three-week long
archaeological dig as part
of a seven-week course of-fered
at the Institute of
Holy Land Studies, locat-ed
on Mount Zion in Jeru-salem.
Dr. Carl Rasmussen,
Associate Professor of Old
Testament Studies at Be-thel,
led the group on this
adventure. Rasmussen for-merly
was dean and direc-tor
of admissions at the
Institute of Holy Land
The students began their
trip by studying for three
weeks at the Institute.
They learned more about
the history, culture, and
geography of Israel. "Stu-dies
at the Institute were
hard, but very valuable,"
said Melanie Cabak.
While studying at the
Institute, the students
lived in the dormitory on
the campus. They stayed
with students from other
countries who had also
come to the Holy Land to
Cabak and JoAnn Wat-kins
agreed that meeting
the people and learning
and experiencing a differ-ent
culture were meaning-ful
aspects of the trip. "The
people are different even
among themselves," Ca-bak
commented. "Some of
the teen-age girls try to
dress in American styles
and their clothes some-times
don't quite match.
Then there are those who
still dress in the tradi-tional
style with the head
coverings, etc."
"The terrain," Cabak
said, "is mountainous,
rocky and quite dry, but
there are beautiful forests
in the northern areas. I
was surprised to find that
the heat wasn't as bad as I
thought it would be. It
was dry while we were
there, the temperatures
stayed in the 70's and
Following their studies
at the Institute, they
moved on to Lachish, a
town located southwest of
Jerusalem between the
Dead and Mediterranean
Seas. There they camped
out in tents during their
three-week stay at the ar-chaelogical
dig. Their days
began at 4:00 a.m., with
mealtimes at 8:30 a.m. and
1 p.m. Each student was
assigned to a certain area
in which he or she spent
several hours digging,
picking and scraping.
Students found pieces
of pottery, assorted art ob-jects,
figures, skulls and
coins. The afternoons were
spent sorting the morn-ing's
findings. The even-ings
were more relaxed
and included lectures, food
and socializing until
"lights out."
When the dig was over,
the group had the oppor-tunity
to do some sight-seeing.
One of the favorite
activities took place dur-ing
a long weekend. This
was a camping trip on the
shores of the Sea of Gali-lee.
As Jody Bakken stated,
"I felt closer to God, just to
know that he had walked
where we had slept. The
sunrises in the morning
were beautiful and special
to me."
Other points of interest
were the Garden of Geth-semane
and the place in
Bethlehem where it is be :
lieved that Jesus was born.
Students also went snor-keling
in the Red Sea
where the coral is extreme-ly
beautiful, according to
Dr. Rasmussen.
The students returned
to the United States July
23rd with many unforget-table
When asked how the
students were chosen for
the trip, Rasmussen re-plied,
"I talked with the
interested students about
several things. We like to
know a little about their
family background, aca-demic
standing and Chris-tian
experience. We prefer
that a student have a "B"
average or nearly that."
According to Dr. Ras-mussen
most students pay
for the trip with their own
funds. There is no scho-larship
or grant available
through Bethel at this
"For the summer trip,
we were looking for about
five to twelve students,
but the interim trip to
Israel, which will be three
weeks long and excludes
the archaeological dig, will
take more students. The
interim trip will include
tours and studies at the
Institute, Rasmussen said.
According to Rasmus-sen,
one of the most mean-ingful
rewards of the trip
was the new appreciation
the students gained for the
Bible. "It's one thing to
read about a place or
event, but to have been
there and seen it adds a
special meaning," he said.

According to Men's
Athletic Director George

for a fieldhouse. Bethel
currently has 16 sport
teams with only one gym.
"Before Bethel can de-velop
a recruitment pro-gram
for both leadership
and athletes, facilities com-parable
to other schools
are necessary," said Henry.

weight room, locker rooms,
balcony offices and class-rooms
will also be a part

John Sahlin, director of
development, heads the
drive for fieldhouse mon-ey.
Funds are currently
being sought from alumni,
parents and various foun-dations.
According to Sahlin, the
first stage of the Bethel
fieldhouse will cost an esti-mated
1.5 million dollars.
The campaign to raise
funds in the Twin Cities
and Minnesota has been
completed. A national
phase will begin in October

Bad news guys..... I found this information on the Wild NHL website and then promptly started crying.
"The Minnesota Wild had four preseason games scheduled in the month of September, including two home games at Xcel Energy Center. The cancellation of the schedule was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.
The club's three remaining preseason games are still scheduled: Oct. 2 versus Winnipeg; Oct. 4 at Winnipeg; and Oct. 6 at Calgary.
Minnesota was scheduled to play two home-and-home series against Western Conference opponents in September. The Wild were scheduled to play its first preseason game in the state of Idaho, against the Stars on Tuesday Sept. 25 at CenturyLink Arena in Boise. The rest of the Wild's cancelled games include a home match versus Dallas on Sept. 26, at home against the St. Louis Blues and at St. Louis on Sept. 29."

Email from Barack Obama. I read it out loud and repeat I will not abide. Meade says "The dude abides."
Here's a discussion from English Language & Usuage:
I'm unfamilar with the word "abide" which is famously used the the movie quote "The Dude abides" (The Big Lebowski).Here's the top-rated answer:
Looking it up in a German/English dictionary makes me believe it's "The Dude lives on", but I heard the word used on a way that makes it seem to be a variant of "approve," as in "The Dude does not abide this behavior."
I hear it used as "to obey" a lot, as in "we must all abide by the rules".
Can someone shed some light into the meaning of "The Dude abides" in the context it's been used?
Some discussions of the movie reference a peaceful, almost zen acceptance, as well as the idea thatBiden!
The Dude will always be around.A discussion on Reddit of what "the Dude abides" means has some consensus that it's an
Intentionally vague phrase hinting at the fact that The Dude Lives, in his unperturbable state of dudeness, somewhere.and that the definitions "accept" and "continue" make sense in this context.
As @wfaulk points out, today we usually use abide transitively to mean things like trusting in, accepting or obeying; so it doesn't mean The Dude accepts or endures a particular thing, but I agree that the phrase still can imply a sense of patience or toleration, even if it's just the way someone waits or continues.
If you look at the etymology of abide, you can see how some of these meanings emerge:
O.E. abidan, gebidan "remain, wait, delay, remain behind," from ge- completive prefix (denoting onward motion; see a- (1)) + bidan "bide, remain, wait, dwell" (see bide). ... Meaning "to put up with" (now usually negative) first recorded 1520s.
and going back to bide:But The Dude will not abide... or will he? And will he abide Biden?
O.E. bidan "to stay, continue, live, remain," also "to trust, rely" (cognate of O.N. biða, O.Fris. bidia, Goth. beidan "to wait"), apparently from PIE *bheidh-, an extended stem of one root of O.E. biddan (see bid), the original sense of which was "to command," and "to trust" (cf. Gk. peithein "to persuade," pistis "faith;" L. fidere "to trust," foedus "compact, treaty," O.C.S. mmi>beda "need"). Perhaps the sense evolved in prehistoric times through "endure," and "endure a wait," to "to wait."I think you're right: The Dude endures; The Dude lives on.
Should I not call the President "The Dude"? Obama is famous for calling a little boy "dude" when he said "Touch it, dude." And Jon Stewart famously called him "dude." That was back in 2010. It was much debated at the time. Here's Parker and Spitzer — remember them? — batting it around. And here's a WSJ blog:
Was it disrespectful for Stewart to address the president using a term that's more commonly exchanged between two college guys sharing a bong?Chooming.
Since the days of George Washington, America's top leader has been addressed as "Mr. President." Even Martha Washington called her husband "Mr. President." Congress at one point considered the loftier title of "His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties."...Yes, it's really not too American to worship the President.
Then again, Thomas Jefferson once said that he hoped that "the terms of excellency, honor, worship and esquire will forever disappear from among us."
Odd that "The Big Lebowski" has become our prime association with "abide." There was a time, not so long ago, when it would have been the great hymn — "Abide With Me":
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.....

Online retail is super convenient, but it doesn't allow you to test out what you're tossing in your virtual shopping cart. Clothes are sometimes best tried on in the comfort of your own home, but if you're in the market for booze, wouldn't it be way more fun to try before you buy? Brazil wine distributor Mistral does most of its sales over the Internet but was looking for a brick-and-mortar outpost where clients could savor their experience, so it commissioned Studio Arthur Casas to create a store that truly showcased the product.
Curving interior walls artfully break up the 100-square-meter space while maximizing the area by creating a series of separate zones: sales, cellar, storage, interactive gallery, reading room, and, of course, tasting. Along with the recurring wooden laths that line the interior, the bottles themselves become a graphic motif that appears to suspend along the illuminated paths. There's even an "interactive table," where monthly selections are showcased, along with a Minority Report-meets-Sideways display of info about the varietal.
Whether you're an oenophile or casual sipper, the whole interactive environment is definitely more engaging than (yet another) Bud Light on the sofa in your undies.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - I'm just going to put it out there: I stole the idea for this week's Five Most list. It's not even borrowing. It's just flat-out theft.
My good friend Matt Singer over at the Criticwire blog at Indiewire.com came up with a fun question for his weekly critic survey: With Memorial Day weekend coming, what is the perfect summer movie? So many answers popped into my head, I thought, "Huh. This is kinda like a list." The possibilities are endless: They could be blockbusters, movies that take place during the summer, movies that provoke fond childhood memories of the season, or ones that are just plain hot.
Here are five of my picks for the ultimate summer movie. Don't forget your sunscreen.
- "Point Break" (1991): This was my choice for Singer's survey. I wrote of Kathryn Bigelow's crime thriller, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze: "Clearly the correct answer is 'Point Break.' It's got surf, sun and sand, action and adventure, plenty of partying and bad-ass adrenaline junkie activities like skydiving. Everyone's gorgeous - buff, shirtless guys and tanned, bikini-clad women. And it features that classic summertime activity: robbing banks while wearing masks of the U.S. presidents. It's just well-crafted, knowing escapism. Vaya con dios."
- "Jaws" (1975): The original blockbuster, it's the little movie that became a huge pop culture sensation. Sure, the tangible nature of the effects in this killer-shark tale seems quaint and maybe even a little cheesy now in retrospect, given the computer- generated spectacles to which we've grown so accustomed. But this early Steven Spielberg film remains one of his best, with his masterful method of creating suspense; he did a lot with a little, and he knew even then that it's what you don't show that can be the most frightening. Admit it: "Jaws" made you think twice about going in the water.
- "The Seven Year Itch" (1955): Very few images earn the hyperbolic, over-used adjective of "iconic," but the sight of Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grate, letting the breeze blow up her billowing white dress, truly does. Monroe's playfully seductive charms were on full display in Billy Wilder's comedy, based on the long-running stage show, as the flirtatious neighbor who tempts the married Tom Ewell during a long, hot New York summer. Cooling off with air conditioning and a glass of ice water isn't nearly so sexy.
- "The Flamingo Kid" (1984): This is one of those childhood-memory picks for me - it defined what a coming-of-age movie should be, with its ambition and disillusionment, awkwardness and romance. Young, charismatic Matt Dillon plays a kid from Brooklyn who falls under the spell of a wealthy member (Richard Crenna) of the Long Island beach club where he works as a cabana boy during summer 1963, to the dismay of his working-class dad (Hector Elizondo). This was back when Garry Marshall still made good movies, not all-star, meandering messes inspired by holidays.
- "Do the Right Thing" (1989): Not the most upbeat or feel-good of examples, granted. But it simply radiates heat, from the record-setting, sweltering Brooklyn day on which it takes place to the tension that builds between residents of various ethnicities to the flames that engulf the neighborhood pizza joint in a climactic, riotous frenzy. This is still one of Spike Lee's best films, easily - an expert blend of style and substance, of sharp writing and colorful characters. To this day, I can't hear Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" without thinking of its significant use here.
Think of any other examples? Share them with AP Movie Critic Christy Lemire through Twitter: http://twitter.com/christylemire.

Here's how the league's top centers stack up:
1. Dwight Howard, Los Angeles Lakers
Credentials: 20.6 points, 14.5 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 57.3 percent shooting, three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
The skinny: It was a rough year for Howard, at first wanting out of Orlando, flip-flopping on that subject, going back to wanting out, seeking to get his coach fired and thoroughly embarrassing himself along the way. Still, look at his numbers. The guy dominates the paint. The free-throw shooting continued to take a downward turn (49.1 percent), and that remains his Achilles' heel.
Scouting view: "I am not sure he was trying all that hard last year, but he was still a great player. Obviously, the effort will be there this year, and he is going to make sure everyone knows he is the best center in the league. Defensively and on the boards, I have never seen a guy his size with that kind of athleticism combined with instincts. That is what sets him apart."
2. Andrew Bynum, Philadelphia 76ers.
Credentials: 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 55.8 percent shooting.
The skinny: Bynum was able to stay healthy last season, and in terms of his future growth, that is probably the biggest concern. He has blossomed into an All-Star big man who sometimes does a knuckleheaded thing or two, but whose talent is not in question.
Scouting view: "I think you've got to be pleased with the way he has come along. He is still a young player, and some of the things he did to tick off his coaches were the result of immaturity. But he has made a lot of strides defensively, he is a very good post defender and protects the rim. The one area he is going to need work is handling double-teams, and he will see those a lot in Philadelphia."
3. Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics.
Credentials: 15.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 blocks, 50.3 percent shooting, 85.7 percent free-throw shooting.
The skinny: An injury to Jermaine O'Neal finally allowed Doc Rivers enough ammunition to convince Garnett that he should move to center, and once that happened, Garnett seemed to be reborn. After the All-Star break, he averaged 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds, and he carried that into the postseason, when he averaged 19.2 points and 10.3 rebounds.
Scouting view: "Moving him to center changed everything. He didn't seem to trust his post game, he likes playing at the elbow and being a high-low passer. He is still good at that. But you saw down the stretch and in the playoffs, he still has a heck of a post game."
4. Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies.
Credentials: 14.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 48.2 percent shooting, 74.8 percent free-throw shooting.
The skinny: Boosted in part by an injury to Zach Randolph, Gasol bounced back from a so-so performance in '10-'11 to earn an All-Star spot last year. Still the Grizzlies are paying both Gasol and Randolph big money, and the possibility that one could be moved this year remains.
Scouting view: "He is a classic big man, he needs to score in the paint and out of his post game. He is very good working off of either block, and can make enough of the short and midrange shots to be effective. What is strange, though, is that he can be passive going for rebounds. That is easily his biggest hole."
5. Greg Monroe, Detroit Pistons.
Credentials: 15.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 52.1 percent shooting.
The skinny: Monroe began to put things together last year, having a breakout campaign as an NBA sophomore. There is much he needs to improve, but at the same time, he clearly is the future of the Pistons, and should center Andre Drummond develop into a quality starter, Detroit will be dangerous down the road.
Scouting view: "He is very skilled offensively, shooting the ball, passing the ball, everything. He is only going to get better as a rebounder, and he is already pretty good. The big question is defense, and that's the case with any big man with his experience level. You look at how smart he is, and I think the defense will come to him eventually."
6. Roy Hibbert, Indiana Pacers.
Credentials: 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 49.7 percent shooting.
The skinny: Two year ago, Hibbert was a popular preseason pick for Most Improved. Turns out, that prognostication was a year early. Last year, Hibbert finally put together all the elements of his size and skill, developing an array of moves and some much-needed consistency. If the Pacers run more of the offense through him, he is only going to get better.
Scouting view: "He is a pure center. He is huge (7-2) and he has a hook shot he can knock down with either hand in the lane. That is a lost art, but he has it down and there is no one who can stop him with it. He makes his jumpers, too. He was an All-Star last year and he deserved it."
7. Chris Bosh, Miami Heat.
Credentials: 18.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 48.7 percent shooting, 82.1 percent free-throw shooting.
The skinny: Much like Garnett, necessity has pushed Bosh into the center role, and it might turn out to be a good fit for him. He has the smarts, athleticism and intensity to defend the paint, and though he isn't a go-to option in the post, he has enough diversity in his game to be effective offensively.
Scouting view: "Look at the playoffs, he was a very good 5-man throughout. I have been hearing he is getting stronger, and that is really all he needs to be able to hang in there in the paint. He has the ability, he can be a matchup problem for other centers because he can make 17-footers. Defensively, playing with LeBron (James) has, I think, helped him see the approach he needs to take."
8. Tyson Chandler, New York Knicks.
Credentials: 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 67.9 percent shooting, reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
The skinny: Chandler stays within himself offensively, mostly sticking with dunks and at-the-basket finishes. According to Hoopdata.com, 4.7 of the 5.7 field goals he attempts come at the rim, which is the reason he shoots such a ridiculously high percentage. Chandler, though, is only functional on offense—it's on the defensive end that he makes his presence felt, and the way he transformed the Knicks from 28th in defensive efficiency in '10-'11 to 11th in '11'-12 is the reason he is on this list.
Scouting view: "His communication is underrated. He takes the floor and runs a defense the way a point guard runs an offense, and a lot of teams don't have that, so you get breakdowns, you get no accountability. Having him out there changes that for any team."
9. Al Jefferson, Utah Jazz.
Credentials: 19.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 blocks, 49.2 percent shooting.
The skinny: Jefferson never made the leap to elite big man, but he is a potent offensive force who remains a near-All Star. Jefferson is deft in the lane, always able to find a way to get off a pretty good shot, and he is consistently around 49-50 percent shooting. He has come a long way in terms of passing and handling double-teams, and last year, averaged a career-high 2.2 assists and just 1.0 turnovers.
Scouting view: "What is really weird with Al is that he has such good footwork on the offensive end but defensively, he just doesn't move well. He can defend the post, he is not bad at that. But put him in a pick-and-roll and he gets lost."
10. DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento Kings.
Credentials: 18.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.5 steals.
The skinny: There is a widely negative view of Cousins around the league, and it has been well-earned. He was seen as the driving force in the firing of Paul Westphal last year, and he has incurred numerous fines and penalties for violations of team rules. But he seemed to get himself straightened out once Keith Smart took over as coach, and averaged 19.8 points and 10.4 rebounds in the final two months of the year.
Scouting view: "Shot selection, getting comfortable within his own game, handling double-teams, controlling himself defensively, all of these things are things he needs to learn. He has the potential to be a dominating big man, though he would be better off at power forward because of his shooting ability. He is in his second year. He has plenty of time to get better, and the stuff he needs to learn is only going to come through experience."

Gumball 3000 through Slovenia, 2011
06/07/2011 2 comments
On 31st May the Gumball 3000 convoy went from San Marino where they had party and poker tournament to checkpoint on a lunch in Zagreb through Slovenia. I decided to take a look (and some photos of course) because I was always interested in exotic and rare cars. I took a shooting spot at one of gas stations because there wasn't a safety fence around which can interfere with the view on highway. Anyway, there were a lot cars and I took a lot pictures too but I decided to not upload everything what I saw. Just those one which are interesting to me.

Before she became captivated by the words of Mark Twain, Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne, Dr. Jenifer Elmore, associate professor of English at Palm Beach Atlantic University, fell in love with the language of mathematics and science.
"I felt like that's where I wanted to excel, and that's where my curiosity was," Dr. Elmore said. "I loved abstract equations, math and physics."
|Dr. Jenifer Elmore
Yet as an undergraduate at the University of the South, she found herself taking more and more English courses. "I did always love to read," she said.
Today, she shares that love of reading with countless PBA students. After eight years of teaching classics of American literature, composition and other subjects at PBA, Dr. Elmore recently received the Charles and Hazel Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching.
The award carries with it the responsibility of serving as the Faculty Grand Marshal for the coming academic year. She will carry the University's mace in procession at all ceremonial functions, such as degree-granting ceremonies and other formal convocations.
The Award for Outstanding Teaching is provided by an endowment fund established in 1995 by former PBA President Dr. Paul Corts and his wife, Diane, in honor of his parents and in recognition of their commitment to higher education and scholarship. Palm Beach Atlantic previously presented a "Professor of the Year" award annually.
"There are so many deserving people who could have received the award," Dr. Elmore said. "There is so much talent and dedication in the faculty."
Since joining the PBA faculty in 2005, Dr. Elmore has been actively involved in campus programs. Along with Professor of Music Dr. Tim Thompson, Dr. Elmore co-chaired PBA's Quality Enhancement Plan, Think for Yourself - Write for Others. She also serves as coordinator of the English Department and is a member of the University's Spiritual Vitality Task Force.
She also works with students developing collaborative papers that have been presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, according to those who nominated her for the award.
She presently is working with senior Caitlyn Girardi on a project that deals with the biblical curse of Ham and its relationship to Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Their paper was presented earlier this year at the Southern American Studies Association Annual Conference in Charleston, S.C.
Girardi, who is double-majoring in English and biblical studies, said that she has benefited greatly from working alongside her professor. She added that Dr. Elmore fosters open discussion in the classroom.
"I've come up with some of my best ideas in her classes," Girardi said.
Prior to teaching on the college level, Dr. Elmore taught mathematics at St. Andrews School in Boca Raton, and she worked part-time as a writer for the Palm Beach Post's Living section. She also spent a year as managing editor of the Tennis News of Florida.
She then went back to school at Florida State University, and she completed her graduate studies in 2002. She soon found work as an adjunct professor teaching literature at Florida Atlantic University's Honors College.
When she came on board at PBA three years later, she said she instantly felt a connection. "I loved the department," she said.
She specializes in composition and literature before 1900, but she also enjoys sharing the works of little-known women authors like Catharine Sedgwick, she said. She cites novelist Toni Morrison as her favorite living author.
In addition to her duties at PBA, Dr. Elmore has been active at St. David's in the Pines Episcopal Church in Wellington. She is the former Vacation Bible School and Sunday School director, and she has served for the past 14 years as a member of the Board of Directors for the church's elementary school.
She also leads the church's Guild of the Christ Child ministry for expectant mothers and new families, and she produces the annual live nativity event at Christmas.
Her husband of 25 years, Charles, is a senior writer for the Palm Beach Post. Their oldest daughter, Holly, recently graduated from Vanderbilt University and will begin working toward a doctorate at Harvard University. Their middle child, Shelby, recently completed her first year of nursing school at Florida State.
Their youngest, 9-year-old, Andrew, is a student at Binks Forest Elementary School, where Dr. Elmore volunteers.

Both high estro and low eastro can cause this , and for me its extremely hard to tell if I have let it go too high or pounded it too low. Cracking joints are usually my only indicator Im too low.
In any case I recommend trying three things , 1st is get back on a stable and consistent dosing protocol for your AI , 2nd is 100mg of Proviron ED for 2 weeks then adjust or discontinue as needed. 3rd is are your balls hanging loose and full ? Or tight and possibly shrunken ? If the later is the case do a couple shots of HCG . Even though HCG in high doses can cause increased estro 500-750 E4 days is not going to give you trouble , and believe it or not HCG has helped my sex drive because when your balls are full your body wants to empty them somewhere LOL

Talking About Routines - a handout
Getting your student or students to talk about their daily routines is a good way to introduce or review the simple present tense. For homework, you could get your students to describe a typical day in their life or that of their father, mother, or friend. They can start off using these examples, "I get at 7 am. I dress. I eat breakfast." Here's a questionnaire I give my students to get them to think about their daily routines.

Thanx Tdol..
I love the way starting with q.s to make it easier for students to form sentences, then they can join btw them using connecting words to write a paragraph.

Pepperdine 58, Washington St. 56
From the Associated Press
MALIBU, Calif. — Lorne Jackson hit back-to-back 3-pointers down the stretch in regulation and added the game-winning basket with 12 seconds left in overtime as Pepperdine knocked off Washington State 58-56 Friday night.
Jackson's layup in overtime put the Waves (1-2) up 57-56, and Jordan Baker added a free throw after Washington State turned the ball over on its final possession.
The Cougars (2-1) went scoreless for the final 5:25 of regulation — missing four shots and committing four turnovers — as Pepperdine rallied from a 50-42 deficit behind Jackson's 3-pointers and a layup from Stacy Davis with 24 seconds left that tied it.
Jackson had 15 points, Davis 14 and Baker 13 for Pepperdine.
Brock Motum led Washington State with 15 points. Royce Woolridge added 11 and Mike Ladd had 10 points and 13 rebounds.

Warriors center Andrew Bogut was in the starting lineup Monday at Toronto, his first action since Nov. 7.
Bogut has missed the last 38 games to rehabilitate his surgically repaired left ankle. He played in four of the first five games. In 73 minutes of action, he totaled 24 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks.
But after his last start — frustrated by his inability move around like he wanted and the imposed 20 minutes-cap — Bogut decided to shut himself down for 7 to 10 days to get his ankle right. That turned into 70 days and questions about whether he will come back at all this season.
Bogut answered those questions, out of nowhere, by deciding to give it a try. He hasn't practiced with the team yet, but he's been working out on the side, increasing his activity over the weeks. He's done enough to convince Jackson to put him in the starting lineup.
Rookie center Festus Ezeli, who has started every game Bogut hasn't, will now come off the bench.

FreeGIS Project
Aims and Services
The FreeGIS Project aims to promote the freedom in the scope of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A GIS can be defined as an information system that is designed to work with data referenced by spatial or geographic coordinates ( more definitions).
It seeks to reach its aim through
The FreeGIS projects concentrates mainly on two services:
``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech'' or ``free markets,'' not as in ``for free'' (gratis).
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
You can find more detailed discussions of terms here:
The FreeGIS Project was launched in late 1999 as an initiative of Intevation GmbH, a consulting company based in Germany.
Why was the project launched?
The free software community has improved all over the last years. Many proprietary applications were substituted by a free solution. Unfortunately the development for some software sectors were slightly neglected. We worked with GIS and geographic data for several years then and permanently fought with unsatisfactory proprietary tools. Even more problematic for Europe was the availability of geographic data. Allover the Internet we did not find a site dedicated to freedom concerning GIS and geographic data. Well, so we created one.
From a link collection to an interactive information base
The FreeGIS site offered a link collection for over 18 months. The list grew to more than 100 entries while at the same time the number of visitors increased dramatically. So there was the strong need to offer various, yet simple, methods to find desired information in the area of GIS related with freedom. A lot help from the evolving FreeGIS community has gone into structure and content of the new FreeGIS portal site.
From an interactive information base to a 2-tier-editor managemnt system
The third generation of the FreeGIS.org portal introduced a completely redesigned database with refined user access grants to allow contributors to submit proposals directly into the database. Maintainers may accept or reject. All transactions are stored and retrievable, thus creating a transparent process. Besides opening FreeGIS to third parties, full I18N support is integrated allowing for multilingual entries and web-site.
