Checked into the Steam Packet Inn for the session/#buzz rehearsal
The second #gurdy back is on after rather a stressful gluing session inside a small, dark shed with candles for light. Now I know a little more about what it must have been like to be a luthier in the Middle Ages.
sweden I am making two more at the moment, so I need to come up with three names!
Robin Andrews, the other half of #buzz, has got himself an #indieweb domain with wordpress on! Looking forward to helping him set up #POSSE, and exchanging pingbacks :)
According to whitespacestrippers.com, neither caching nor lossless compression exist or are in common usage on the web.
School grades are a measure of how socially acceptable your level of remembering–ability was when you did the exams, relative to everyone else.
Therefore, their meaning and value deteriorate over time. The value and meaning of things you create and add to the world generally increase with time (become more well-known, better used, refined, etc.)
Just pushed a load of #taproot changes to auto-tagging which should make structured, tag–based querying of notes way easier.
This note should be tagged with
quote and
location as it contains all of that data.
Some Test Quote with a mention in
"Stop spending our money showing us the illusion of #democracy!" Me on politics in general and election campaigns in particular as quoted by joviansalak
JovianSalak I'll show you the results, that should clear things up :)
Spent most of the day walking on the moor with Tod and @joviansalak (GPS trace coming soon!), built @jwentomologist his birthday present and now putting together my entry for this month's mozilla dev derby entry — improved blog quoting/citing using DnD and #microformats
joelestewart yeah, I found him quite irritating, and the Gurdy was completely misrepresented! But must be great for those less musically inclined.
JovianSalak #creativecommons licensing, of course!
roopagulati sure! I've repaired banjos before, not done a use yet but there's little technical difference to a guitar
john_nye good god that's hideous. But in hindsight it was only a matter of time :/
To all exeter_web people who saw my #microformats talk last night: I documented my usage of µf on my own site, hopefully it's a useful real–world reference if you're interested in using µf2 yourselves :)
If minifigs had their own country it would have the largest population today
Excited to make a way of linking up my web action delegates with FF OS Web Activities! https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/01/introducing-web-activities/
Checked in to Oddfellows, Exeter for the exeter_web meetup
I'm doing a talk on micoformats-2 at Exeter Web Meetup . Come along to learn about what's new in µf2 and how you can be using it today! /cc exeter_web

So keep reading ;)
Although, we get a lot of whacky gluten in our western diet, so every now and then it isn't a bad idea to go GF and limit your intake. Just a thought.
My inspiration for this recipe came from the soup, which incidentally, I dislike. However, there's a warming quality to it which seems super appealing. When I think of it, I think of being warm and snuggled. And on a particularly cold day, when being warm and snuggled sounded divine... I created this!
The ingredients are simple (extra large single serving)...
1.5 c. (uncooked) GF Rice Shells (meijer/walmart/target all sell rice pasta shells)
1 c. broccoli
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese*
2 tbs sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced/pressed
1 tsp GF soup base- chicken flavored**
salt + pepper to taste
Onion powder (optional)
* Feel free to mix it up with the cheese. I tried 1/2 Smoked Applewood Gouda + half Aged Cheddar... amazing. Remember, fresh blocks of cheese that you grate yourself will be 90x better!
** Non-gf can substitute a bouillon cube. Any GF bouillon substitute will work.
Cook pasta according to the directions. Meanwhile, combine cheese, sour cream & garlic. Set aside. Overcook your broccoli until it is SUPER tender/mushy. Once the pasta is done, drain, return to pan & add all remaining ingredients to the pasta pan and stir. The cheese & broccoli will melt together with everything else. Add salt & pepper to taste.
I am definitely craving some right now. I have a full day today, otherwise I'd be home making it!
Next, let's continue our DIY kitchen series about customizing apartment kitchens. One of the greatest changes I made for our cookie-cutter kitchen was adding a rug. It took us a long time to find one we liked, but the difference is incredible. Plus, it's much nicer to walk on the area rug than the cold tiles in the early, frigid Michigan mornings!
If you're worried about staining, don't. Ours is black & white (which is surprisingly forgiving) and has no stains. We've had the rug down for a year and I cook AT LEAST once per day, usually twice. I've spilled things on it plenty of times, but they always come right out! Test it out and see how much warmer and more inviting your kitchen becomes.
Just a little baby post for today! I'm already gearing up and excited for another week of 'la vie'. I hope you have a brilliant weekend- look for a bonus post tomorrow or Sunday about my sweet new ink & our Valentine's Day celebration of goodness.
As always, thanks for reading!

Food Evolution - Documentary
Amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by passion, suspicion and confusion, FOOD EVOLUTION, by Academy Award®-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy (The Garden, Fame High, OT: Our Town), explores the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves, to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the film, narrated by esteemed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, wrestles with the emotions and the science driving one of the most heated arguments of our time.
In the GMO debate, both pro and anti camps claim science is on their side. Who's right? FOOD EVOLUTION shows how easily misinformation, confusion and fear can overwhelm objective analysis. How do we ensure that our food supply is safe, and that everyone has enough to eat? How do we feed the world while also protecting the planet? Has genetic engineering increased or decreased pesticide use? Are GMO foods bad for your health? And, most importantly, what data, evidence and sources are we using to approach these important questions?
While the passionate advocates in the film are all concerned with the stewardship of safe, nutritious food for the planet, their differing views over what constitutes the truth have pit them against each other, rendering the very subject of food itself into an ideological battleground.
Enlisting experts such as Mark Lynas, Michael Pollan, Alison Van Eenennaam, Jeffrey Smith, Andrew Kimbrell, Vandana Shiva, Robert Fraley, Marion Nestle and Bill Nye, as well as farmers and scientists from around the world, this bold and necessary documentary separates the hype and emotion from the science and data to unravel the debate around food, and help audiences reach their own conclusions. In a debate in which all sides claim to be on the side of science, FOOD EVOLUTION brings a fresh perspective to one of the most critical issues facing global society today.
The showing will be followed by a moderated discussion. The panel will include Alison van Eenennaam who features in the documentary and who has been very active in engaging with the wider community on the questions addressed by the documentary.
Information and how to book.....
Venue: Aotea Centre, 50 Mayoral Drive, Auckland

I've been trying to keep this in, but I can't any longer: I've had the truly amazing opportunity to go to Ranger University. Besides getting to learn loads of really cool techniques from a few of the best designers in the business, I've met some wonderful people who have been in the business for years. I can't even begin to describe the awe I've felt in the presence of all of these masters, but I can share a few techniques with you!!
One of the things I didn't know much about before this experience is the Melting Pot.
I knew it melted things (go figure! hehe), but I wasn't sure how it worked and what other items it can work with. For example, did you know that you can use Shrink Plastic in the melting pot?!
Here's what Tim Holtz taught me:
1. It's good to work on a Nonstick Craft Sheet. Anything that might spill is easily removable from this surface (especially with a craft scraper!) and you can even pour directly on to it!
2. Plug in and turn on Melting Pot to the UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) setting. The pot heats up quickly. A rule of thumb: do not touch the silver parts!! They are hot. The black parts are safe to touch.
3. Cover and preheat the empty Melting Pot for 5-10 minutes.
4. Pour in Clear UTEE and place the lid on to allow to completely melt - this will take a few minutes and will work best with the lid on. The shallow end heats faster than the deep end (just like at the pool or beach). If you are feeling impatient, you can pull some of the unmelted UTEE to the shallow end with your Kool Tools spatula, but don't stir unless you want air bubbles in your finished product.
Note: Tim said that the longer the Clear UTEE is in the pot, the more amber it will turn in color. This is ok, but be aware of this effect (the amber color is pretty cool for a vintage project!).
3. Time for Shrink Plastic! Tim suggested creating a ruler out of Shrink Plastic so that you know what size things will end up. (Create a ruler by marking measurements on the Shrink Plastic with a permanent marker before you shrink it - line it up with a ruler for the measurements. Then put shrink it down to a mini ruler - this will help you decide what size piece to cut before shrinking to get the small scale that you want. Thanks for that tip, Tim!!! Brilliant!) Cut a strip of Shrink Plastic that fits your project.
4. Insert Shrink Plastic strip into the melted UTEE - it's good to use tweezers for this.
5. The Shrink Plastic will quickly curl up as it shrinks. Use tweezers to push the Shrink Plastic toward the deep end and unroll it (this looks daunting, but it will uncurl).
6. Carefully remove Shrink Plastic from the Melting Pot by grabbing with tweezers and remove from pot. Even though the Shrink Plastic is gooey/melted-looking, you will not indent it by gripping it with your tweezers.
7. As you remove the Shrink Plastic from the Melting Pot, quickly drag the piece across your Craft Sheet to remove tweezers while UTEE is hot (yes, they will stick together if you hang on for too long. If your Shrink Plastic & tweezers do get stuck together, just re-dip and try the drag technique again - no biggie.).
8. Allow Shrink Plastic piece to cool and trim excess UTEE with Craft Scissors.
9. Choose any paper/image you want. I've gotta say, Tim Holtz's Crowded Attic Paper Stash is pretty cool...but Papillon, Steampunk, and Oddities are the stamps sets that contain the images I used.
10. Apply Glossy Accents to the back flat side of the Shrink Plastic tile.
11. Press over the image and hold in place to dry.
12. Trim excess paper from the sides.
13. Done! Use tile as you wish! How cool is it to make a custom tile? VERY!! (or maybe I should say it's hot?)
14. Repeat or use the rest of the Clear UTEE in the Melting Pot for another project!
Happy Crafting!! Thanks for the fun project, Tim!

2012 Paddle With Purpose: Heroes On The Water
The Cause: Healing wounded spirits through kayak fishing
The Instigator: Jim Dolan
The Method: Bring wounded veterans together with experienced kayak anglers, and go fishing
Heroes on the Water serves all military personnel who have been wounded, injured or disabled. What looks like a day trip of paddling and fishing for wounded vets is in fact something much deeper and long-lasting. As all paddlers know, time on the water is therapeutic. HOW facilitates that healing by bringing wounded veterans together with experienced kayak anglers in 35 chapters around the country. Founder Jim Dolan estimates HOW has introduced 4,800 wounded veterans to kayak fishing, and his goal is to have 100 chapters nationwide serving 10,000 veterans. Being on the water gives soldiers a feeling of peace and freedom from their wounds—an experience that "coalesces into personal revelations that while the wounds may have closed one door, there are other doors to explore. Life is still good."

Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Penang
Located in Penang's 'Little India', in the capital city of Georgetown, the Sri Maha Mariamman temple reflects the city's rich cultural heritage. This tropical island of Penang, lies in the Indian Ocean, just off the north-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Penang's rapid growth as a trading hub in the early 1800s, especially in commodities such as nutmegs, cloves and pepper attracted traders from Europe, America, Arabia, India as well as China.

I like most of the Lego Architecture series. I'm not a big fan of the monuments, like the Empire State Building, Big Ben or the Sidney Opera, but I can appreciate their value.
The houses, however, are the most interesting because of the scale. And Villa Savoye—built in the outskirts of Paris in the 1920s—is one of my favorites. Not only the model itself is great, with a minimalist rendering of its interior, but it comes with a book explaining Le Corbusier's building, the epitome of his 'Five Points' construction principles.
I wish I could open it floor by floor, though. All the interior beauty gets trapped inside but perhaps it's the process—and the learning—that counts here. [Amazon and Lego Store]

Still no action on Bountiful polygamists.
That headline could have been run almost every year for the past 60 years. That's how long the fundamentalist Mormon leaders in the southeastern British Columbia community have been legal outliers, ignoring the law that criminalizes having more than one wife.
The headline has been written more than a few times over the last 20 years when the fundamentalist Mormon community has frequently been in the media.
Why is there no sense of urgency to protect the children and women in this particular fundamentalist Mormon community?
For most of the last decade, I've been trying to figure that out. Twice, it seemed the indifference to the harms they suffer was ending.
Once was in 2009 when the leaders of the two different factions were charged. Those charges were later dropped. A judge subsequently ruled that the charges were invalid because they'd been recommended by an improperly appointed special prosecutor who was hired only after the government's own lawyers refused to go ahead with the case.
Then there was the decision of B.C.'s attorney-general to test the constitutionality of the law by referring it to B.C. Supreme Court.
Finally, in 2010, it seemed the provincial government was getting serious after years of doing nothing about the allegations of sexual and physical abuse within the closed community and ignoring the RCMP's charge recommendations.
As the constitutional reference case was winding down in February 2011, B.C. government lawyers submitted startling evidence. It described how men from Bountiful illegally smuggled their under-aged daughters into the United States to be given in religious ceremonies to much older men as so-called "celestial" or plural wives.
That evidence had already been used in Texas to convict a number of men, who were members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Yet here, other government lawyers in the criminal justice branch didn't think it was enough to merit charges of human smuggling, procuring or sexual exploitation.
So, still no action.
In November 2011, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of B.C.'s Supreme Court concluded that Canada's criminal sanction against the practice of having multiple wives was valid.
After three months of hearing evidence, Bauman determined that polygamy's harms justify infringing the Charter of Rights guarantees of religious freedom and the rights to liberty and free association.
The harms Bauman described echoed everything that had been reported in The Sun and other media. Child brides. Teen mothers. Forced labour. Truncated education. Poverty. Neglect. Poor physical and mental health.
Nearly two months later in January, Attorney-General Shirley Bond approved the appointment of special prosecutor Peter Wilson. His mandate for reviewing charges didn't include the charge of polygamy.
Nearly two months after his appointment, Wilson's mandate was expanded to include polygamy after it was decided that Bauman's ruling would not be appealed.
Then, nothing.
A spokesman for Bond says there's nothing to report. I was told to talk to the special prosecutor if I wanted an update.
I called Wilson's office and was told by an assistant that Wilson doesn't speak to the media. Only after I insisted did she reluctantly agree to take down my name, phone number and a request for information about where the Bountiful investigation stands.
I have no idea whether he got my message.
So, I'm back to wondering: Why the lack of urgency?
Polygamy is the root cause of the harms. But when it comes to crime, it's the least significant when you consider the evidence provided to Bauman by the government's own lawyers about crimes such as sexual exploitation, illegal transporting of children across international borders and even forced labour and neglect.
The federal government's record has been better.
It has long enforced the policy of excluding polygamists who apply to immigrate.
That, however, has never captured fundamentalist Mormons who don't need visas and have, with impunity, been cross-fertilizing the illegal communities in Utah, Arizona, Idaho and Texas with child brides and young men traded back and forth.
Contrary to the policy, however, immigration officials have on several occasions granted exemptions on humanitarian grounds to stop the deportation of child brides in Bountiful and their children.
Revenue Canada, on the other hand, has spent years investigating the financial doings in the community in an attempt to hold Bountiful's former bishop, Winston Blackmore, and his followers to financial account.
Earlier this year, Blackmore appealed the government's nearly $2-million reassessment of his taxes. A decision in that case has yet to be released.
Yet there's still no action to protect children.

Fighter's Arsenal necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 107 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
Logo needed for startup fighter lifestyle website (Fighter's Arsenal). Classy/smooth logo with a bit of a rough edge. Should work well when used in single color designs also. Thanks for reading! Any questions, just ask!
Fighter's Arsenal
Hello, hello! Hope this contest finds you all in good spirits! We're getting ready to launch a startup fighter lifestyle website (wish us luck!) and we need great designers for what we think will be a great service. Ideally, we'd like something that is classy and smooth, but with a bit of a rough edge.
What we're envisioning is big, bold (all caps) letters, incorporating some visual imagery into the brand name, "Fighter's Arsenal." Perhaps a bullet for the letter 'i'. A tank cannon or similar for one of the letters in the word 'Arsenal'. These are some ideas we've had for a while. Please feel free to play around with that theme, we're more than happy to look at anything you can create.
This logo needs to work well as a single color deal as well. However, it would be nice to see what you can come up with playing with colors like black, red, and white.
If you have any further questions, feel free to post in the contest and I'll be sure to reply soon. I'm really excited to see what you guys can come up with. There are some great designers/designs on here, and if that's you, I hope this job challenges/interests you. Thanks for reading, and I hope to talk to you soon!
PS: We'll also need business cards and a website designed, so there is a strong possibility for continued work if we can form a positive working relationship.
- Military theme (as suggested by 'Arsenal')
- Modern design sense
- A bit of edge to the overall design (decay, grunge, etc.)
- Skulls!

The Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog talked with Alec Saunders, RIM's vice president of Developer Relations and Ecosystem Development the other day about his vision and plans for the BlackBerry developer platform and ecosystem going forward. Alec recently joined the RIM team with the mandate to drive growth for RIM's BBOS QNX powered BlackBerry platforms and build a thriving developer community around them.
Here's what the Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog (IBBDB) learned.
IBBDB: Congratulations, Alec, and welcome to the RIM team.
Thank you. I'm thrilled to be here.
IBBDB: Tell our readers a little bit about yourself.
I've been in technology for over 20 years now. I'm a University of Waterloo graduate (1987) and I've spent most of my time working with software developers in various roles throughout my career – first at Microsoft, and then as VP of marketing of QNX Software Systems – which is the embedded operating system company that created the OS for the next generation of BlackBerry devices. In 2002, I went to Versatel Networks, a company that built a platform that allowed software developers to create compelling voice applications that ran in telephone networks, and in 2003, I struck out on my own with a friend and mentor, Howard Thaw, to build a company called iotum inc., which we conceived, financed, staffed, and launched successfully. At the beginning of this year, I went to my board and asked them to find a new CEO. After eight years I wanted a change, and I felt the company needed a really strong sales oriented CEO. So I offered to help find a new CEO, and in June we brought in the new guy, and I started looking for something new. I went looking for something that would allow me to return to what I love doing most, and that is working with developers.
And of all the opportunities I looked at, RIM was the most exciting to me.
IBBDB: What makes it so exciting for you to join RIM?
I'll take you back to the late 90's for a second, my first encounter with BlackBerry, or at least, what would become BlackBerry. It was Las Vegas, CES, and there I was in the back of a cab trying to get a press release edited … on a RIM pager. It was cool. I'd never seen anything like it and the promise of being able to do email wirelessly was mind blowing. Pretty soon tons of people on the Microsoft corporate campus were carrying one. And over the last decade, since that time, RIM has expanded to 175 countries, and its products are distributed by over 600 carriers across the globe and all from that start with the RIM Inter@ctive Pager. Despite the intensely competitive market out there, RIM continues to pull down huge numbers: 150 million devices RIM has shipped to date, 70 million subscribers on RIM's network today, over 1 billion app downloads (increasing at 120 million per month) since BlackBerry App World launched.
All of that adds up to a huge opportunity for our partners, for developers … There's no reason why developers shouldn't be able to make a great living just by serving BlackBerry customers. And my team's job is to make it as attractive, easy and fun as possible for developers to build for the BlackBerry platform – smartphones and tablet alike.

In 2013, why not turn your love or, conversely, your fear of money into a weight loss motivator? There are a handful of websites out there looking to help you beat the bulge with a little monetary incentive. Here's the deal. You tell them how much weight you're going to lose in what time frame and bet them a certain amount of money that you'll do so. Then, they'll take your bet, give you odds (as in 3:1, 10:1, 25:1, etc.), and either pay out or collect when you do or don't achieve your goal. Interested?
Pretty damn genius if you ask me, especially since the founder of one site says there's an 80 percent fail rate. Not that he's cheering for people to fall flat on their faces or anything, but when you're making bank off of someone who says they'll lose 15 pounds in three months and bets you $6,000 they'll do it, I mean, he's gotta be laughing all the way to the bank, right?
Maybe. But there are people out there who succeed, and big time. I'd like to think if I bet a couple grand on weight loss, there'd be nothing to stop me from reaching my goal. Simply put, I can't afford not to. So when the alarm goes off at 6 a.m. and I have to hit the gym, there'd be no rolling over in bed and ignoring the wake-up call because I just.cant.lose.two.grand.
I bet, however, there are a lot of people who think money is the motivation they need to kick-start a healthier lifestyle. And, as the data showed, only 20 percent of them are actually right. I'm not a betting woman (as of yet), but even I know that those odds aren't good.
They say that in order to make a change, you have to be ready to make a change -- the motivation has to come from within. So if you're ready, on the inside, maybe it's worth putting a little money down.
And if you're not, well, the only thing that might get skinny is your wallet.
Would a financial incentive help you slim down?

U.S. stocks rose for a third day as faster-than-forecast growth in jobs overshadowed concern about budget negotiations and a slide in Apple Inc. Treasuries dropped, while the euro fell on concern about German growth.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.1 percent at 1,415.5 at 3:17 p.m. in New York after climbing as much as 0.5 percent in the opening minutes. The yield on 10-year Treasuries increased four basis points to 1.62 percent. The euro slid 0.4 percent to $1.2924 after the Bundesbank lowered its 2013 projection for German economic growth to 0.4 percent from the 1.6 percent predicted in June. Oil lost 0.4 percent to $85.93 a barrel in a fourth straight decline.
Equities opened higher after the Labor Department said U.S. employment increased by 146,000 in November and the jobless rate fell to an almost four-year low, easing concern that superstorm Sandy reduced hiring. Stocks pared gains as a gauge of consumer confidence trailed forecasts and House Speaker John Boehner said no progress had been made in talks to avert the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect next year.
"There is a lot of confusion and there are a lot cross currents here to consider," Terry L. Morris, who helps oversee about $2.5 billion at Wyomissing, Pennsylvania-based National Penn Investors Trust Co., said in a phone interview. "Unemployment has improved, yet confidence has deteriorated. How do you explain the market isn't doing anything when Boehner comes out and says we're nowhere? It seems like the market should have been going down, but the fact it's not tells me that the market wants to go higher."
Apple Slips
Apple, the largest company by market value, lost 2.4 percent and was the biggest drag on the S&P 500. Financial, commodity and consumer shares led gains among the 10 main industries in the S&P 500 while telephone, utility and technology shares fell. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Caterpillar Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. paced gains that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average up about 56 points.
The median estimate of 91 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a gain of 85,000 jobs. Sandy "did not substantively impact" the data, the agency said. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008, as size of the labor force shrank.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of U.S. consumer sentiment for December fell to 74.5 from 82.7 a month earlier. Economists projected 82 for the gauge, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Projections of the 67 economists surveyed ranged from 80 to 88.

International Paper (ip) Stock Research
Last Updated by WikiWealth | Update This Page Now
Generic Strategy
Narrow Scope
Broad Scope
Low Cost
Generic strategies categorize companies by the scope and the strength of their business. International Paper does not have a definable strategy, therefore, it risks losing out to firms that concentrate on one particular competitive advantage. (read more).
Company Description: International Paper Company produces paper and packaging products such as writing pads and coated paper under the brand names: Everest and Fortress. The packaging products segment creates containerboards and corrugated boxes worldwide. Update
Market Research
Material Industry Research & Analysis: The materials industry includes companies whose sales originate from the mining, acquisition and sale of physical substances for manufacturing-related purposes. Material Trading Strategy: The materials industry tends to be sensitive to economic cycles. Look for undervalued material investments during economic recessions when stock prices are low and sell material investments during the late stages of a bull markets when stock prices are high. Material stocks quickly increase at the conclusion of a recession, because materials are the primary input for the industrial sector. The global economy is currently in a recession, therefore, it is the perfect time to purchase material investments. Upward sloping stock charts and financial news may indicate a selling opportunity while the opposite means that stocks are becoming undervalued.
Industry Sub Sector: . International Paper is a dominant industry leader due to its personnel, experience and financial strengths. Industry leaders are difficult to compete against, which decreases business and investor risks.
Market Challenges: Opportunities: Solutions:
Strategy Analysis
International Paper's business strategy is to keep things simple. Clearly-defined strategies lower business risks by staying within their areas of expertise. International Paper's strategy is to continuously improve. This helps to fend against competitive threats and increases shareholder returns.

Joe Biden: Senator Doug Jones 'will do great' representing Alabama
"I think he has great courage -- moral courage," Biden said.
Former vice president Joe Biden expressed his confidence in Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., immediately after the lawmaker's swearing-in ceremony Wednesday.
"I think he will do great," Biden said.
The Democrat listed three reasons why Jones will do an excellent job representing the state of Alabama:
"[Doug has] enormous character," Biden said. "This is a man with real character.
"I met Doug when he was a law student ... He's been my friend ever since."
"I think he has great courage -- moral courage," Biden said.
"He has redeemed the soul of the south."
"He knows the Senate," Biden said. "I think he's going to be great for the state of Alabama.
"He is born and bred, through and through -- a Southerner."
When asked whether Jones would be able to achieve success in a partisan-crippled institution, Biden answered with an emphatic, "I did!"
"The American people...are so tired of the 'dumbing down' of the American debate," Biden said.
"People are looking for leadership. Doug can provide it."

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing Intel Corp., the world's leading computer chip maker, charging that the company has illegally used its dominant market position for a decade to stifle competition and strengthen its monopoly.
In its complaint, the FTC alleges that Intel has waged a systematic campaign to shut out rivals' competing microchips by cutting off their access to the marketplace. In the process, Intel deprived consumers of choice and innovation in the microchips that comprise the computers' central processing unit, or CPU.
According to the FTC complaint, Intel's anticompetitive tactics were designed to put the brakes on superior competitive products that threatened its monopoly in the CPU microchip market. Over the last decade, this strategy has succeeded in maintaining the Intel monopoly at the expense of consumers, who have been denied access to potentially superior, non-Intel CPU chips and lower prices, the complaint states.
"Intel has engaged in a deliberate campaign to hamstring competitive threats to its monopoly," said Richard A. Feinstein, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition. "It's been running roughshod over the principles of fair play and the laws protecting competition on the merits."
The FTC's administrative complaint charges that Intel carried out its anticompetitive campaign using threats and rewards aimed at the world's largest computer manufacturers, including Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, to coerce them not to buy rival computer CPU chips. Intel also used this practice, known as exclusive or restrictive dealing, to prevent computer makers from marketing any machines with non-Intel computer chips.
In addition, allegedly, Intel secretly redesigned key software, known as a compiler, in a way that deliberately stunted the performance of competitors' CPU chips. Intel told its customers and the public that software performed better on Intel CPUs than on competitors' CPUs, but the company deceived them by failing to disclose that these differences were due largely or entirely to Intel's compiler design.
Having succeeded in slowing adoption of competing CPU chips over the past decade until it could catch up to competitors like Advanced Micro Devices, Intel allegedly once again finds itself falling behind the competition – this time in the critical market for graphics processing units, commonly known as GPUs, as well as some other related markets. These products have lessened the need for CPUs, and therefore pose a threat to Intel's monopoly power.
Intel has responded to this competitive challenge by embarking on a similar anticompetitive strategy, which aims to preserve its CPU monopoly by smothering potential competition from GPU chips such as those made by Nvidia, the FTC complaint charges. As part of this latest campaign, Intel misled and deceived potential competitors in order to protect its monopoly. The complaint alleges that there also is a dangerous probability that Intel's unfair methods of competition could allow it to extend its monopoly into the GPU chip markets.
According to the FTC's complaint, Intel's anticompetitive tactics violate Section 5 of the FTC Act, which is broader than the antitrust laws and prohibits unfair methods of competition, and deceptive acts and practices in commerce. Critically, unlike an antitrust violation, a violation of Section 5 cannot be used to establish liability for plaintiffs to seek triple damages in private litigation against the same defendant. The complaint also alleges that Intel engaged in illegal monopolization, attempted monopolization and monopoly maintenance, also in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.
To remedy the anticompetitive damage alleged in the complaint, the FTC is seeking an order which includes provisions that would prevent Intel from using threats, bundled prices or other offers to encourage exclusive deals, hamper competition or unfairly manipulate the prices of its CPU or GPU chips. The FTC also may seek an order prohibiting Intel from unreasonably excluding or inhibiting the sale of competitive CPUs or GPUs, and prohibiting Intel from making or distributing products that impair the performance–or apparent performance–of non-Intel CPUs or GPUs.

I've started working on a cathedral window (CW) quilt and was asked to do a tutorial on making it. So, here it is! I love doing CWs, they are fun and you can create a lot of different looks just based on the different materials you use. Previously, I had done a CW pillow in 1930s reproduction prints. For this quilt and tutorial, however, I'm using all batiks, so it will have a very different look.
I've got 36 steps to post, so be patient while I get them all posted here in this thread. So let's get started!

Frankenstein's Army
July 15, 2013
FanTasia Festival 2013
The 2013 edition of Montreal's FanTasia International Film Festival kicks off this Thursday, July 18, and runs for three delirious weeks in venues all over the city. In its 17th year, FanTasia is not only the largest genre film festival in North America, it has claimed its rightful place among the great festivals and film markets of the world. With over 120 feature films and countless shorts, this year's offerings fill a 320-plus page program book. The full schedule is online now!
FanTasia walks the cutting edge of genre films, screening subversive horror, mind-blowing science fiction and fantasy, animation, a smattering of rediscovered classics, and the just plain unclassifiable, with many of the showings introduced by their creators. Filmmakers and actors from the world over attend, participate in panel discussions and party with the fans.
Richard Raaphorst's Frankenstein's Army — a project that has been percolating for six years — finally gets its North American premiere on July 20. Here's the film's schedule page, complete with a demented trailer. Also intriguing is the Canadian feature The Dead Experiment, about returning from the dead… and its alarming side effects.
Among the films and events I'll be looking out for is Québécois writer-director Éric Falardeau's Thanatomorphose, a transgressive horror film in which a young woman is "trapped in the irreversible process of human decomposition." Then there's a 75th anniversary celebration of Orson Welles' broadcast of The War of the Worlds featuring audio excerpts from the radio show, a revival of the 1975 TV movie The Night That Panicked America, and a rarer-than-rare showing of a split-screen, condensed version of George Pal's War of the Worlds of 1953 originally custom-created as an installation for Montreal's World Expo in 1967.
Finally, the festival's most anticipated live event this year — the legendary late-night parties aside — is Clive Barker's play The History of the Devil, staged by Title 66 Productions at the prestigious Place des Arts Theater.
Keep up with this year's FanTasia Festival on their daily News Blog.

A Harmonious Chorus of Boos and Cheers
It was a pretty significant day in the baseball world today. Felix Doubront made his first career start for the Red Sox. Stephen Strasburg made his third major league start (overkill, I know). Mike Stanton, who is living in Strasburg's shadow (in a way) hit a grand slam. Oh, and Manny Ramirez stepped up to the plate at Fenway Park.

the Bodien residents left on camp-us

story. It costs money to send a

Students and faculty members enjoyed the music of the Minneapolis
Choralaires, assisted by the Northwestern Hospital Nurses' Chorus Tues-day,
Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. Under the directorship of Robert Mantzke the
Choralaires presented their numbers along with the numbers presented
by the Nurses' Chorus on the occasion of the semi-formal pre-Christmas
concert sponsored by the Arconian and Ladocian Collegiate Societies.
The two choral groups represent some of the finest talent and
Christian leadership that is in our
area. This was attested by the ap-preciation
expressed by those in
attendance Tuesday evening. Selec-tions
by the Choralaires included:
"Gloria in Excelsis Deo", "Halle-lujah
Chorus", "Jesus, the Very
Thought of Thee", "There is a
Balm in Gilead", "As Lately We
Watched", and "Salvation is Creat-ed."

Christmas or Xmas?
If you would like to hear some of your classmates speak, come out
to the next meeting of the Tau Sigma Pi which is to be held at 7:30
p.m., Monday, Jan. 9. The interesting program planned is for visitors as
well as members and the place of meeting will be announced in Chapel.
Our last meeting the club's advisor, Mr. Schultz said a few words in
connection with the Christmas theme. A humorous film was shown and
a few impromptu speeches together with an after-dinner speech were
also given.
I was over to Louie Nelson's apartment the other day. Nice apart-ments
they have at Bethel for the married couples.

Mr. Bernsten and the debaters were in Iowa debating this year's topic,
"Nationalization of Basic Industries", last week-end. Let's remember our
coach and the debaters in prayer throughout the year; not only that
they might debate well, but that wherever they go, they might bear a
Christian testimony from Bethel.
In thinking of Christmas, and we know that it couldn't have
CHRIST-mas without Christ, I would like to leave a little poem
you for meditation over the holidays. May everyone who reads
only read it from the mouth but read it from the heart.
Bread of Heaven on Thee I feed,
For Thy flesh is meat indeed;
Ever may my soul be fed
With this true and Living bread!

This blest cup of Sacrifice;
'Tis Thy wounds my healing gives;
To Thy Cross I look and Live—

Our Reasons For A Merry Christmas
em5 of Tbougbt
By President Wingbiade
Once again we are approaching the joyous yuletide season. The halls
ring with songs of joy and worship and conversation around the mail
boxes indicates that many are anxiously anticipating vacation time and
thoughts of home and loved ones are rapidly replacing those of formulas
and history dates.
Truly, this is a happy time for the Christian. He can sing from
the depths of his soul, "Peace on earth toward men good will," even
in a world of turmoil and confusion.
But unfortunately, not all can sing of our Christ. To most people,
it is still a mystery why they should send gifts and try to spread cheer
all because of the birth of a "mythical" character called Jesus.
On a quiz program recently, a series of words were given and the
answer for each was to be the first thought that entered the mind. One
of the testing words was Christmas. The contestant answered, "tree."
But he was wrong. The correct answer was Santa Claus!
No mention need be made of the business world who commercialize
to death this sacred holiday: One wonders if it won't soon be proper to
buy one's fireworks and Christmas decorations at the same time.
As opposed to this all too real picture, I heard a mother say the
other day that since her 16-year old daughter was but a child, she
had displayed a miniature manger set on a table in the corner with
a shinging star of Bethlehem above it. Every year, she said, the daughter
has come to love that manger set in the corner far more than the
family Christmas tree; and visitors to that home are immediately im-pressed
about the reality of that tiny nativity scene.
May the Christ of Christmas be seen in our hearts, homes and lives
this year.
What Then
A young man, a high school
graduate, upon arriving at college
was greeted by the president.
Having an interest in the boy by
virtue of being a close friend of
his father, he began to question
him: "Well, my boy, after you
have finished your college here—
what then?"
"Oh, I -may be elected to the
hat then ?'t
"I suppose that I will get old
and retire to a well-earned rest."
"Yes—and what then?"
"Some day," he said quietly, "I
shall die."
"Yes," said the old man, "after
death,—what?" But to this there
When the choir has sung its last
And the preacher has made his
last prayer;
When the people have heard their
last sermon,
And the sound has died out in
the air;
When the Bible lies closed on the
And the pews are all empty of
And each one stands facing his
And the great Book is opened—.
Let us hope, dear readers, that
you know the answer to that ques-tion.
"Now is the accepted time,
now is the day of salvation."
Seldom do we find a proper per-spective
of American heritage and
social conditions present in Ameri-can
writers. Most attempts at such
descriptions are lost somewhere
between "The Philosophy of the
Contemporary Lower Slobbovian"
by a promising Breck High fresh-man
and "College Can Be Educa-tional",
a backward glance by a
self-made Wall Street typhoon.
Therefore, it was a very exhi-larating
experience to discover a
deserving piece of cultural analysis
as I was reading through Purvis
Wood's waste basket seeking
crumbs of intellectual bread. This
brief description is anonymous but
was evidently the work of some
Swedish Sociology major investiga-ting
the origins of Swedish people
and customs in America. Among
the startling discoveries I made
was this "eye opener":
"When the Swedish Ambassador,
Leif Erikson, arrived at the mouth
of the Delaware River in the year
947, the Indian Orchestra welcom-ed
him. He was the representative
of the Ice Cream Agency in Swed-en
and came here for the express
purpose of obtaining a milking
machine to be used in milking
polar bears in Sweden.
This was necessary because the
demand for ice cream in the United
States was so great that Sweden
did not have enough people to
milk the polar bears by hand. Even
the purchase of a milking machine
was not sufficient in handling the
great demand for ice cream.
Every ship in Sweden's fleet
was used for the purpose of trans-porting
ice cream to the States,
but the need for ice cream in the
States was still great, and, there-fore,
a tunnel was built in the
year 1000 under the Atlantic Ocean
which enabled Sweden to send over
two billion cubic feet of ice cream
every hour." Toss that at the Dairy
Fresh people if you want them to
squirm for an answer.
He continues . . . "Leif Erikson's
first impression of America's theo-logical
literature can be read in an
air mail letter to the king of
Sweden written October 32nd, 988.
He wrote in part, 'We shall never
use Strong's 'Systematic Theology'
as a textbook in Sweden'. To this
day, we haven't seen any strong
systematic theology in Sweden." I
was hesitant about including the
above observation for fear Prof.

We are told of a minister who
was sitting in his study as Holy
Week was approaching—preparing
a Christmas message.
Feeling rather tired he let his
head rest on the desk, and was
soon fast asleep. Then he dreamt a
dream—that Christ had not come
to the world.
In his dream he was called to
a sick bed, which became a death
bed. As he sat by the side of the
suffering one, who was fast sink-ing,
he tried to speak a word of
cheer, but he had nothing to say,
no hope to bring. There was no
Christ to preach. In utter weakness
he left the sick room, and the soul
soon slipped away from its earthly
• He went to his study, but among
all the books on worldly thought
and wisdom there was not one
about a Saviour who had come, not
one with a message of salvation.
And there was nowhere a song of
cheer or of praise.
Soon there was to be a funeral,
and he was to have charge. He
stood by an open grave. Some-thing
should be said and he want-ed
so much to say it, but his lips
were silent, and his heart was an
aching void. The grave was open,
and death had a sting, and the
future was utter darkness. He had
nothing to speak of a Christ who
had come to save, or of immor-tality
or of mansions prepared_
All was failure and futility—and
in his heart was despair.
Then the minister was awakened
from his tragic dream. There was
a song in the air. His own church
choir was practicing for the Christ-mas
service, and the words and
music were fie toui to Wall -in-creasing
clarity and beauty.
"Oh, come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come, let us behold Him,
Born the King of angels;
Come, let us adore Him—
Christ the Lord."
What joy now filled the mini-ster's
heart! The dark dream was
scattered. Christ had come. He was
risen. He did reign on high. The
minister did have a message. Light
and hope were forever his portion
and the portion of all those who
would put their trust in Him. ,

Court Opener At
Wartburg, 56-41
The 1949-50 edition of Bethel
basketball opened the current sea-son
on November 28 at Wartburg
College with a loss, 56-41.
The Redmen, lacking the neces-sary
height to cope with the Iowan
giants, nevertheless played good
basketball the entire game. .The
average height of the starting
home team was one inch over six
feet. As a result the rebounds of
both 'backboards were controlled
very ably by the black and orange
suited Knights from the corn coun-try.
In the first half, a one man ex-hibition
was put on by Gordy
Wood, Bethel's diminutive guard.
He poured in four shots from well
out on the court to record half
of Bethel's first-half points. The
score at half was 31-16.
Bud Pierce, brilliant forward for
Bethel suddenly caught fire in the
second half and scored ten points.
Ken Greenman also found himself
for a total of twelve points, and
the two teams walked off the floor
at the end of the game, both
'having scored 25 points in the
second half, but the first half de-ficit
still had to be accounted for
and thus the final score read in
favor of Wartburg, 56-41.

Bethel Locale
For Pres--; Conf.
The evening of Nov. 29 found a
new and different kind of meeting
on Bethel's campus. Editors and
publication representatives from
four of the nine evangelical schools
in the Twin Cities area gathered
to discuss the problems of student
publications and the possibilities
for co-operation between Christian
schools in journalism.
This novel meeting was arranged
by Perry Hedberg, who is the head
of the College and Student Publi-cation
Section of the Evangelical
Press Association. The E. P. A.
which sponsored this press con-ference
was organized last April
in Chicago for the purpose of en-hancing
the effectiveness of Chris-tian
journalism through co-opera-tion
and encouraging high ethical
and technical standards.
A discussion period afforded a
good opportunity for learning how
other schools operate their publica-tions
and overcome their difficul-ties.
The posibility of developing a
student paper syndicate within the
400 evangelical schools, a matter of
much interest and great promise,
was talked over in the meeting.
Rev. Gerald B. Smith, Church
Editor for the St. Paul Pioneer
Press-Dispatch, brought the. group
some inspirational remarks and
news tips. A valuable and inform-ative
talk was also given by Pro-fessor
Harold Wilson of the Uni-versity's
dep.artment of journalism
on lay-out technicalities and meth-ods
for improving publications.
The group is looking forward to
meeting again sometime in the
spring to plan and learn still more
—to the- praise of His glory.
New German Band
Brings Vim, Vigor
The 1949-50 edition of the Bethel
German Band is taking shape at
last, reports the Band's director,
Phil Weiler, and he goes on to des-cribe
something of what Bethel
may expect from them.
An exclusive organization of the
German Club, this year's Band is
composed of a variety of talented
musicians. Several standard band
instruments, .brasses, .woodwinds
and percussion, will be augmented
by a varied background including
a piano, hormonica, slide whistle,
and other soundmaking devices.
With such a variety of instru-ments
represented (and only one
of each, at that!) it is hard to tell
at present just what kind of music
will be finally produced. It is fairly
safe to say, however, that selec-tions
will be in the lighter vein,
with especial favor given to old
German standbys—and variations.
It is hoped that this year's Band
will prove a valuable asset to
morale-boosting at Bethel's various
sports events this winter. With no
competition in its class (and the
German Band is in a class by it-self!)
this group aims to go
places. Its motto: The best in
German music by the best of Ger-man
musicians at Bethel.

Prof. Wik to Receive
Drs. Degree II Honors
A much-worked-for Doctor of Philosophy degree will be presented to
Reynold Wik, associate professor of history of Bethel College, upon his
graduation from the University of Minnesota, tomorrow, Dec. 15. At the
same time, his V, ife, Helen Wik, will receive her B.S. and L.S. degrees.
As a basis for his doctoral dissertation on "The Application of Steam
Power to American Agriculture," Mr. Wik said, "There has been much
N..., ritten about the railroad locomotive and the steamboat, but no one
has attempted to tell the story of
the iron horse that got off the
track and lumbered across the
western plains."
This particular phase of agricul-tural
history was chosen my Mr.
Wik partly because of the interest
it had for him as a child on a
Dakota farm where his father pio-neered
in the use of steam powered
tractors for plowing and threshing
prairie lands.
Gathering source material for
this project led Professor Wik
through fifteen states, from Wash-ington,
D. C. to Nebraska. Most of
the material was found in dust
covered boxes of factory attics and
basements. These collections, such
as the J. I. Case Collection in
Racine, Wis., included letters by
farmers and salesmen which were
over a hundred years old. Some
50,000 personal letters were read in
an attempt to gather basic infor-mation
for this unusual paper.
As a result of this research, Mr.
Wik has been asked to read a
paper on this subject at the Nat-ional
Convention of the Mississippi
Valley Historical Association which
meets in Oklahoma City next April.
Since only a few graduate students
appear on these annual programs,
this recognition , constitutes a spec-ial
Mr. Wik has been on the faculty
of Bethel for three years. He re-ceived
his B.A. degree from Sioux
Falls College; his M.A. from the

of Harvard, Chicago and In-diana.

Perhaps you haven't heard just
what goes on in your Student
Council, so your Student Council
secretary would like to share with
you some of the things we've been
talking about lately.
A committee has been appointed
by the Council for the organization
of a "B" Club, composed of those
who have earned a letter in some .
sports activity. They have already
discussed various aims, and soon
will be sponsoring the sale of sea-son
tickets to various athletic
events. Incidentally, it was upon
a recommendation from the Coun-cil,
that the Policy Committee de-cided
to grant special prices for
students' wives am:0 issue season
tickets for those interested in our
athletic program.
Other plans have been made for
the skating rink opposite the girls'
dorm, the formation of a girls'
basketball team, a Christmas pro-gram
on our last day of school be-fore
vacation, and some revisions
in the Constitution regarding re-presentation
of the Council.
We would ask cooperation in re-gard
to the school calender. If each
organ ization would_ clear_ of
all meetings through the Council
secretary, much conflict and re-arrangement
could be avoided.

Thoughts on War
Betty Randolph was the widow of Peyton Randolph and the sister of Benjamin Harrison.
(Requires Quicktime, or other MP3 player)
"I think back 'twas not so very long ago that I was the wife of the best of men. Now I am his widow. 'Twas not so long ago that we were Englishmen and women — and proud of it — and now we are to war with our Mother Country.
I remember back to the summer before my dear husband passed on - a summer of many changes. War had come to Virginia, My husband had been very ill. His brother John Randolph had decided to leave Williamsburg, indeed leave Virginia — his home — and take his family to England. And John's son, Edmund, my nephew did not agree with his father No, indeed; he left Virginia and secured a place on General Washington's staff.
And at the end of August, my husband and I set off for Philadelphia to return to the Congress, where he had been president, but now a delegate. My family — the rest of them — are much engaged in this struggle for liberty. Indeed, this past summer my brother Benjamin Harrison has put his name to this declaration of independency.
My brother Charles has now enlisted in the artillery. He has left twin babes — motherless twin babes that are not even a year old — and gone into the army. But who knows how it shall all end? We must simply gather our strength and see this through. There can be no turning back."
Lucy Smith interprets the character of Betty Randolph for Colonial Williamsburg.
