Vol. XVIII No. 6 BETHEL INSTITUTE January 25, 1939
Second Semester
Brings Few Changes
The new semester will bring several
changes in the student body. Doris Mo-berg
will have then finished her college
work, and will enter Mounds-Midway
School of Nursing on February 7. Doris
has contributed greatly this past year
and a half to Bethel life in song, spirit,
and good fellowship; and all will miss
her presence.
A scholarship for musical training was
given to Clayton Halvorsen during his
Christmas vacation by the Thomas Mac-
Burney Studios in the Fine Arts Build-ing
in Chicago. Clayton says he started
at Bethel with a pre-medic course, but
now his aim is the concert stage. He is
leaving at the semester that he might
prepare for a contest next summer; he
may continue his college work at the
Lewis Institute in Chicago. Singing
around the Twin Cities has occupied a
great deal of his spare time while he has
been here at Bethel.
Illness has caused Pearl Peterson and
Ruth L. Olson to drop their studies.
Elaine Halverson did not come back from
vacation because of the serious condition
of her father. The seminary has lost Mrs.
Ruth Tegenfeldt.
Registration January 30.
Registration for the new semester at
Bethel will take place on Monday, Jan.
30. Although enrollment for new stu-dents
at the mid-year has not been en-couraged,
some new students are expect-ed
to join the Bethel family at that time.
Balance the Points
In order to encourage participation in
extra-curricular activities on the part of
some students and to discourage an ex-cess
of extra-curricular work on others;
it has been voted by the faculty mem-bers
to evaluate such participation. The
Seminary faculty, as well as the Junior
College, has accepted this plan.
Evaluation of points has been made on
the following: Athletics, Clarion staff,
Debate team; Music, Activities, Student
Council, Bethel Women's Association;
Class Organizations; College Club; Alex-is;
Missionary Band, and Religious Ac-tivities.
Fifteen points is the maximum allowed
at one time, the scale becoming effective
February 1, 1939.
Sleighs, Bells, Fun
The annual all-school sleigh ride will be
held Friday evening from 7-9. Refresh-ments
will climax an evening of enter-tainment.
Our forms are man made. They are not
one with an unchanging Gospel.
We need consecrated creativeness to
dare to do the thing that's new as long
as the truth of God is in the heart.
—Reuben Nelson.

The disciples took Christ just as He
was, and He took them just as they were.
We sometimes 'try to fit Christ into
out situations. —Rodger Goodman.

We are sometimes satisfied with leaves
when Christ demands fruit.
—Dr. Karlson

One with God is still a majority.

We who are a part of Bethel Institute
wish to congratulate most heartily our
president, Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, who
on December 31, 1938, completed 25 years
of service as president.
In January, 1914, Dr. Hagstrom began
his duties as president of Bethel Insti-tute,
which then included an academy
and the seminary. The ensuing quarter
of a century, which has so recently been
completed, can well be called an event-full
period in the history of the school.
Much of the progress which was made
during that period can be indirectly at-tributed
to the excellent presidency
which the school has enjoyed.
Advance under leadership.
In addition to his many local duties,
Dr. Hagstrom has done extensive travel-ling
for the furtherance of the school.
He has found time to teach intermittent-ly
in the seminary and one Bible subject
in the Junior College since its establish-ment
in 1933. Speaking of the Junior
College, this valuable and necessary ad-dition
took place upon the dissolvraent of
the academy. It can truthfully be said
that in the formation of a two-year col-lege
course, Dr. Hagstrom contributed in
both plans and effort.
During the years 1914-1938, the school
as a whole has developed both spiritually
and numerically, and a glorious future
enriched by God's blessing looms ahead.
Education fits him for work.
Prior to Dr. Hagstrom's appointment
as president of Bethel Institute, he led
an exceptionally active life in various
types of advanced Christian work. He
claims Sundsvall, Sweden, as his birth-place.
His early education was ob-tained
in Minneapolis, after which he be-came
a graduate of the former Baptist
Union Theological Seminary of Chicago,
and receiving his doctor's degree from
Wake Forest College in North Carolina.
Even during his latter school days he
became actively engaged in pastoral
work. His later duties in missionary,
conference, pastoral and young people's
work allowed him to contact many peo-ple
from) far and near places in the great
work of the Kingdom. Thus, he was

Student Opinion
Resolved: The Gospel Team. bus shall
be used exclusively for religious purpos-es
in conjunction with the Boarding Club.
To speak affirmatively, let us call to
mind several considerations.
1. The purpose of the bus was original-ly
a purely spiritual one. It was pur-chased
on the initiative of the Religious
council in conjunction with the Boarding
Club with the support of the Student As-sociation.
The gospel team bus has come
to the campus and symbolizes a memorial
to prayer, and sacrifice of the students
It seems inconsistent to limit .the bus
its possibilities for religious activities
thru services in other organizations.
2. By calling the vehicle the gospel
team bus we must consider the impres-sions
that might be made on those out-side
of school. A bus referred to "gos-pel
team bus" hardly fills in the capac-ity
of a general transit for any group not
particularly representing gospel team
1. Our school as a Christian educa-tional
institution has a greater reason
for existing than any of the separate or-ganizations
that comprise it. Is there
any reason other than short-sightedness,
why the bus cannot be an all-school bus,
useful in promoting every phase of the
school's varied program.
2. The maintenance of the bus is han-dled
by a certain amount of students.
The same students that form the reli-gious
council are in most cases members
of the boarding club. As things now
stand, some students pay twice while
others escape any obligation. Why not
balance the load and dig together.
I Pledge QAllegiance
"To my school and to the conference it represents: one body proclaiming Christ
with salvation and liberty for all."
While at Bethel we are apt to forget that we are but a small part of an organIsm
banded together under the Swedish Baptist Co.nference. But the day is coming when
we must leave school; for a wider sphere of life in which we will manifest either a
favorable or unfavorable attitude toward our denomination. Why not begin now to
cultivate an active interest of boosting and building.
Personal Responsibility
Tradition has decreed] a prayer tower in the school and it would not be wise to
let the inspiration of it be dropped. Inasmuch as the tower has been, reconstructed
in the college building, it would be helpful to make a; daily/ use of it. The purpose is
to have continual prayer throughout the entire school day.
Let us avail ourselves of this opportunity! and keep this noble tradition by making
it a present reality.
Stifle the groatz_,
School spirit is vibrant throughout the building this year. It has been a point of
neglect for several years, but at last it has arrived and the rejuvenated atmosphere
is commendable.
But Friday night's basketball conflict taught us one thing. It is suggested in "I
ain't got no use for the women" . .
"They'll stick with a man while he's winnin'
And when it's gone they'll turn him down."
The team needs rousing cheers the most when fortune seems against them. A
timely groan can do as much harm as the blue) pencil of an editor.
They looked unto Him and were, radiant. Psalm 34:5a.
When we attempt to reflect the sun in a mirror, that mirror must be held
in a certain position if we are to succeed. It cannot be placed in the shade,
nor can it be placed with the back to the sun if the light is to be reflected.
Why is it that we, as Christians, often fail to radiate the love of God to the
world around'in such a way that men and women are attracted to Jesus Christ?
It is because our lives are not in the right relationship to God. We have not
yielded our lives completely to Him and are thus not in such a position, before
Him that we can really be used.
Let us turn our 'faces to God and let His will control ours in such; a way
that He can give us lives so radiant that men and women will be attracted to
Jesus Christ. —Gladys Peterson.

Do You Xemember ?
The College Club met on January the
11th, in the Seminary Chapel. After
scripture reading and prayer, by Milton
Holmberg, Rueben Holmquist, who is
heard every Sunday morning over WO'GY
sang two selections, "The Old Refrain",
and Brahm's "Lullaby". Dr. Glenn Clark
of Macalaster College, gave a "Close-up
View of Jesus". Refreshments were
served in the dining hall after the pro-gram.
B. W. A. held its regular meeting on
Thursday, January 12, in the Girl's
Lounge. A light luncheon was served
preceding the business session, at which
time new officers were elected to serve
for the second semester. The results
were: Margery Ericson, president; Ruby
Christenson and Constance Swanson tied
for secretary; Annabelle Sherman, treas-urer;
Marie Dahlberg, assistant treas-urer;
Neoma Sund, Ethel Tederman,
Joyce Johnson, Mildred Lovegren, cabi-net
The Missionary Band conducted their
second gospel meeting of the year, Sun-day,
January 15, when they had charge
of the evening service at the Lake Park
Baptist Church. Three members gave
talks on "City", "Country", and "For-eign
Missions". Special music was fur-nished
by a girls trio and the string band.
Alexis Elects Sorley
Officers for the second semester of the
school year of 1938-1939, were elected
last week, in the Alexis Society. After
the first results, the candidates for the
office of presidency were tied. The sec-
°and vote was taken and Wilbur Sorley
was selected.
The other offices were filled by Carl
Young as vice president; Gladys Peter-son,
secretary; Folke Ferrd', treasurer;
Ned Holmgren, social chairman; Bertil
Friberg, Stanley Rendahl, and Willard
Anderson, ushers; Mrs. Dury Miller, re-freshment
chairman, and Virgil Olson,
Dr. Hagstrom
(Continued from page 1)
enabled to take up his duties at Bethel
with a wealth of constructive and varied
experiences, which proved to be an ex-cellent
background for his duties here.
The school should and does feel right-fully
proud of the successful term of of-fice
which Dr. Hagstrom has already
contributed to the history of Bethel. The
look forward into the future is with an-ticipation.
It is with the most sincere
and heartfelt thanks that congratulations
are offered.
The Claautauquan series inaugurated
last year by Dean Emery Johnson brings
another interesting program to the plat-form
of the college chapel. He is an
artist of renown in the personage of J.
Franklin Caveny. Mr. Caveny will ap-pear
on Monday, January 30.
Being popular both in the United States
and abroad as "a master of clay and
crayon", he is especially original and
diverting as a platform artist, and is by
turns amusing, eloquent, poetic and dra-matic.
Agility with the crayton in pro-ducing
colorful paintings of pastel land-scapes,
and with clay in forming droll
types of visages of the immortals are
outstanding features of his program.
Mr. Caveny is ex-editor of "The Sketch
Book" of the Art Institute of Chicago,
where he studied under Lorado Taft. Be-sides
his quick sketches and mouldings,
he. is famous as a painter of popular pic-tures.
This artist has appeared from coast to
coast of our country in clubs, conven-tions,
colleges, and high schools, as well
as churches, and comments upon his
work from enthusiastic audiences prove
its worth. "The literary quality of his
program alone made it worthwhile,"
writes the High School of Oneonta, N. Y.
College students are admitted upon
presentation of their activities ticket.

I Humor [esk ?]
The fatal day has arrived. Today is
the deadline for having this column in.
Why, oh why didn't we do this last week
instead of gabbing in the library? Come
on, brain, do your stuff. Minutes add up
into an hour;- two hours; three hours;
will an idea never come? The clock
ticks monotonously on. A train whistles.
—Cut it out, this is beginning to sound
like a dime navel. Let's get back into
the right track. We heard somewhere
that originality in humor is what counts.
Who was it that told us that one of his
jokes wasn't original, he'd thought it up
himself? (It did sound pretty good the
first time.) Come, come, let's get back
to the subject. Say, isn't that a funny
crack in the plaster? We never noticed
it before. Reminds us of the Colorado
River by the way it ambles around.
Someone ought to fix it 'with some gum
Or something. If there is anything we
dislike it's odors of 'food. Hmmmm,
smells like we are having cabbage for
dinner. Don't you just love it boiled?
We don't. Speaking of cabbage reminds
us of the old "A" model truck. Wasn't
that great sport to ride around in the old
buggy? Those days are gone forever
'cause the engine is almost ready to fall
out. Really, it should be fixed and placed
in a room where we keep curious. Say,
we have the darlingest little Giant Panda
on our radio. Maybe I shouldn't have
mentioned it because it was left in our
room and nobody claimed it. Our room-mate
says it keeps him awake nights but
we think that it is only the wind. The
wind is a funny thing. It blows! 'Twould
be great fun to just sail along with the
wind. That would be almost as good as
having a magic lamp which one could
rub. We know what we 'would wish for.
You can't guess? We'd wish that our
lessons would get studied all 'by them-selves.
Oh yes, we would wish that we
had a column written. — There we are,
back into reality with a blank sheet of
paper. And anyway we haven't time to
think of any ideas so we'll just let it go
at that. Oh yes, in closing we would like
to remind our readers that we have
changed our place of abode, so please
don't forget to address all our mail to
our new number. —George Darry.

Albert Lea Swamped
The jinx of Friday the thirteenth did
not catch up with Bethel's cagemen;
Bethel trounced Albert Lea Junior Col-lege
by the decisive score of 52-18. Beth-el
had no difficulty subduing the visitors.
Coach Adam capitalized on the ,oppor--
tunity, and juggled the line up several
times during the game. D. Peterson led
the scoring with 14 points, and Don John-son
was a close second with 13 points.
In the preliminary game, the Elim
Swedish Baptist Church team defeated
the Bethel "B" team by the score of
Overtime Favors Sophs.
On Thursday, January 19, the Sopho-more
Class of the College defeated the
freshman, 25-23 in the overtime period.
Ohsberg and Persons each scored 8
points. Carlson and Kommedahl paced
the losers with 6 points each.
Girls Take Logan Park.
The girls' basketball team has had one
encounter since Christmas vacation. It
was an easy victory for Bethel over the
Logan Park girls' team, 46-8.
The Bethel sextet has entered in the
Park Board League in which there are
four other teams, Logan Park, Daytons,
Team, Band, Cheer Section
To Travel for Game
At a recent meeting of the faculty,
Coach William Adam suggested that
plans be made for a group of the stu-dents
to accompany the basketball team
on some one of its future road games.
The plans, tentative as yet, call for the
hiring of one or two buses. One bus to
be used by the varsity, girls' team, and
the band; the other bus to be used by
students who desire to make the trip.
Two places have been considered, Roch-ester,
or Mankato. A committee, con-sisting
of the two deans, the athletic di-rector,
and the president and vice presi-dent
of the student association, has been
appointed to make the necessary ar-rangements
if such a trip can be ar-ranged.

Congratulations to Justice John Roberts for finally breaking his ultra-conservative ties. When I was in law school I had a constitutional law professor who always used to say that regardless of their political background there was something about the Supreme Court that caused many justices to rise above their own political leanings and do what is best for for the country. To vilify justice Roberts the chief justice of the court that presented the United States with George W. Bush as its first and only unelected president, the court that presented the United States with "The Citizens United" decision changing politics in the United States to a money game he finally rose to the occasion.
As to what Don Maresco wrote to the editor concerning "The affordable care act" and his desire that everyone vote to remove President Obama from office this November he only displays his own meanness, greed and small mindedness, by thinking of himself only. If he were truly aware of the consequences of electing Mitt Romney president he would understand that he'd not only eliminate insurance for the 30 million Americans covered by the ACA; he would change the way the industry is taxed and regulated, turn medicare into a voucher program and transform Medicaid into a block grant, which together would strip access to health care from as many as 28 million Americans who are currently insured. This voucher system would be so inadequate as to cause the death of many current recipients.
The youth of this country will inherit a system that allows insurance companies to refuse coverage for pre-existing conditions and power to drop anyone they want if they get sick. And further to call social security an entitlement is a bare faced misrepresentation as it is a program into which virtually every recipient has deposited portions of his or her earned income.
I am sure Mr. Maresco's personal motto is "keep the government out of my life but don't you dare touch my medicare".

Temazcal - Tequila Cantina
Restaurant group based in Boston with over a dozen different restaurant concepts including Irish pubs, sports bars, nightclubs, tapas lounges, etc. is opening a four star Mexican restaurant and lounge in probably the best location in the northeast USA, sitting on the waterfront in Boston Harbor. This will be the first four star Mexican restaurant in Boston, headed by an award winng chef who opened the first four star Mexican restaurant in the world 20 years ago.
The restaurant will appeal to locals and visitors alike, it is located close to a huge convention center and the downtown business district. We will be serving lunch and dinner and will feature live entertainment to attract a late night club crowd on the weekends. We will feature over 300 types of tequila.
The usual requirements:
1. No Cartoons - we want it to be playful but not cheap or childlike
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being too fancy. We want the locals to feel like they can afford to eat here a couple times a week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
The direct translation of Temazcal is "House of Heat". It was a pre-hispanic purification treatment for the body and soul in ancient Mexico. Temazcal will cure all ills.

Pelosi has more gonads than Obama. If the Rethug/Rove machine hadn't trashed her she could be a viable Dem candidate for Pres. but......Americans are idiots.
The Obomber was $elected by the capitalist class (something like 450 out of 500 something newspapers endorsed him) because they believed that he would be best, in the face of growing resistance, at bringing them in the most profits. He also was $elected by a section of the capitalist class, who understand something of the true nature of the capitalist system, because they knew that his presidency would allow them an environment to give rise publicly to a fascist movement.
Liberals are deluded to think that there can be a society under capitalism in which minimum wage is 20$ an hour, but the price of the goods we need to survive remain the same. You can vote until you turn into a donkey and it'll never happen, you might as well just tell everyone that we're going to heaven if you think it can. We live under the dictatorship of the capitalist class. They control the flow and price of goods, even the ones that are required of us to survive. They control whether or not goods even get produced at all, and if there's not enough profit to be made for them then those goods will not get produced (housing is a glaring example of this even in the frontyard of the empire itself, where the imperialists usually like to keep things looking "nice" so that they can use it as an example to show all those in other places, where they are by far more ruthless in their exploitation of the Earth and its inhabitants, that they just aren't working hard enough etc...).
The only way we can start to become liberated from the capitalist dictatorship is by starting to place the means of production into common ownership. Labor is the only thing that produces wealth, and currently that wealth is concentrated in the hands of the capitalists whose families have been "best" (down to the foundation of this rotten to the core empire, which is in slavery, racism, genocide, the oppression and subjugation of women, and the theft of the lands of the native peoples) at exploiting the Earth and its inhabitants. That wealth needs re-distributed and the means of production placed into common ownership. The phase in which this is done is called socialism. There is no permanent socialism. Anyone who calls themselves a socialist is confused and lacks key knowledge about the nature of the capitalist system. You will either have leadership with proper vision to lead humanity forward to a communist world (a world free of all forms of exploitation and oppression, without classes and without nations or states,a world without money where goods are produced for need rather than profits) or the forces created by having individuals or even groups of individuals (even if it's the revolutionary state itself) owning the means of production will lead humanity back to capitalism. Socialism has only been achieved two times in the capitalist era, in the USSR from 1917-1956 and in China from 1949-1976, and great things were achieved (can't type the book here, but can encourage you to see professor Dongping Han's online BookTV Talk), but those revolutions were overturned by the forces of the old order, and capitalism was restored.
Socialism will be a bloody and turbulent period. There's no avoiding this. It'd be real nice if we could just take over the farms and factories etc.. and begin producing goods for need, but the capitalists and their allies (including the armed forces under their command, the police/military) will never allow for it to happen peacefully. There'll never be a time, ever, when the capitalists will say "oh here's this group of people talking about bring forth a new way, let's just give them the keys and see how they run things." No, they will fight to the death for their "right" to exploit the Earth and its inhabitants and as long as they still hold the keys to our means to survive they will use all that flows from that (including overwhelming control of the media, textbooks etc...) to be able to arm and command forces to fight for their interests. During socialism they, both domestic and foreign capitalist forces, will do all they can to create a "the sky is falling atmosphere" and the first time someone's falafel is overcooked, or there's a shortage of bread, or any number of things that are bound to happen when society is going through such turbulence, they will succeed in winning a following in favor of going back to the old ways. The capitalist class must be suppressed out of existence (as a class, not as individuals) and we must have leadership with proper vision or we will be nothing but another knife in the back of the masses.
Furthermore even if a group of people were to be able to seize state power in a certain area of the world and begin to produce goods for need, capitalists in other parts of the world will just send the armed forces under their command to crush you (what? you didn't rape any babies, and burn down any churches? Well you will have according to the people on their TV, which is what counts in this instance). In short, as there is no way to properly dig into these topics without a 2-4 hour speech or a book's worth of text or something,.. without a People's Army, the people have nothing!
I'm forced by time to paint things in broad strokes here, but let's get into this! Some of you have obviously sobered up from your shots of Obomalade and are starting to see a bit behind the curtains of this "democracy" theater that the capitalist dictatorship continuously uses to fool the masses. However, some of you still think taxing the capitalist class does a bit of good. Well that's incorrect. You tax the capitalist class, they simply raise the price on goods. It's all a part of their "democracy" theater. Furthermore if other capitalists sense that there is more blood in the water, more money to be squeezed from the masses, they will raise prices. Unions produce basically the same effect as taxation, you win a higher wage, they reach for the price sticker gun, or other capitalists will reach for theirs. They have us coming and going.
Under chattel slavery, slaveowners had to take into account that they couldn't starve slaves to death, that they had to give them the bare minimum that it would take to secure their survival and willingness to produce more people in their social situation (those who own no, or very little means of production). Little has changed today except that, in most cases, the only whips driving you to do the will of the capitalist are the whips of hunger and necessity. The public opinion-molding machine (TV, newspapers, textbooks etc..) that is overwhelming under the $control$ of the capitalists, is used to create the default for what is considered "normal" behavior in society (such as making it seem "normal" to enter into an exploitative relationship with a capitalist, making tons of money..for the capitalist, for 8+ hours a day in order to secure your survival, religion as a force for good, a woman's "proper" place in the world etc...), and that allows them to play on our natural fears as social animals who don't want to stray so far away from "normal" as to risk the ability to secure our survival and/or to be shunned by friends and family.
Had the capitalists needed to, say had there still been a growing left resistance movement despite the Obomber $election, they could've had him throw us more crumbs that they would've just pushed other buttons to extract from us (or the common people of the world) elsewhere, but they saw that they didn't have to, that just the thought of "change" was enough to pacify a large section of the resistance that would lead them to lesser profits, and that they could go ahead full-force with their imperialist agenda of creating an unchallengeable worldwide dictatorship.
Again, I've brushed with broad strokes here, but let's get into this! I want to close with a quote:
"People always were and always will be the foolish victims of deceit and self-deceit in politics until they learn to discover the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises. The supporters of reforms & improvements will always be fooled by the defenders of the old order until they realize that every old institution, however barbarous and rotten it may appear to be, is maintained by the forces of some ruling classes." -Lenin
We will need money during socialism, but the aim must be to overcome it. As long as there is money being used someone is being exploited somewhere. In the future communist world, if someone tried to sell something they'd be looked at funny, pointed to the place where the products are being produced and people would attempt to help them with what it was that they were after in the first place.
We live in a world that has long passed the ability to produce adequate food, clean water, shelter and health care for all, but see people dieing all around from treatable conditions. This will always be the case under capitalism, they always need a stock of people who're forced to work for anything or die and they have the buttons at their disposal to shape society largely to their liking. From within the confines of the capitalist system it is not possible to bring about the kind of change needed ever, not just in our lifetime. Again we live under the dictatorship of the capitalist class. They've proven that they have a button for everything, except for when they're facing a People's Army under leadership with proper vision.
I don't believe that there aren't people in the media who might wish to tell the truth. I believe that most are people from privileged backgrounds and are genuinely deluded themselves, or else they wouldn't be hired. They also don't have the freedom to report on whatever they would like, if they got up today and started telling people, in a convincing manner, that religion is a bunch of crap, advertisers would pull their ads and they'd lose their paychecks. They have an interest in doing their master's bidding. That said there is room for some of them to stray a little bit away from what the dominant section of the capitalist class wants them to report, as there are these people called liberals who exist within the capitalist class. Liberals do a "great" service for capitalism by channeling people's righteous outrage into ideology that stands no chance whatsoever for our liberation. Some liberals know what they're doing, but most are genuinely deluded into thinking that capitalism produces the best of all possible worlds and if you're working with capitalism you're working with forces beyond your control. Any capitalist who doesn't and/or is not able to exploit the Earth and its inhabitants to the maximum degree possible will be happily pushed aside by one who will.
I don't know if by "barbarisms" you're alluding to what has happened in the previous attempts at socialism in the USSR (1917-1956) and China (1949-1976)? If so, then yes I'm saying that you've been lied to by the same class that brought you the lies about weapons of mass destruction, the existence of a god, that Vietnam was "liberated" on and on.. Do I deny that there were some, note well some, excesses committed, no, but these crimes are but a drop in the bucket compared to the crimes of the capitalist system. And as I wrote before, socialism is a bloody and turbulent period, there's no avoiding it. If you know of a peaceful way to take over farms and factories and to be able to protect them from hostile forces then let's hear it, and some examples please. Also I don't advocate, like many so-called communists do, whether they do so expressly or not, that we see Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as a doctrine that we must follow, I view it as a science in which we analyze what has taken place in the previous attempts at revolution and identify the mistakes, take what has worked well, and forge a new synthesis on the way forward. And by analyze I don't mean accepting the capitalist's account of what went down, that'd be no different than going to a preacher to learn about atheism.
I don't mean to derail your thread here, but I'm unable to comment on this topic (that I feel passionate about) without bringing a scientific analysis of the conditions that have given rise to it. It's like you're asking me to explain how we have these opposable thumbs, but let's not talk about evolution :)
Well here is one thing we can do to make our voices heard. If Obama won't listen to us, maybe we can convince Congress.
MoveOn.org is trying to quickly get as many reasons against the tax bill as they can so they can present it to Congress before the vote on it. Please list as many reasons as you can think of.
Well this fight's over.
Maybe we'll at least get DADT done now... maybe... I dunno...
This is how i feel too. I would like to hope.

Report blisters W.H. on Benghazi
The White House either failed to recognize or ignored the unraveling security situation in Libya ahead of the attacks there in September 2012, according to a scathing report by Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee.
The report's findings, as relayed to reporters by committee aides ahead of its release on Tuesday, were sharply critical of the White House and Defense Department's response to the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Story Continued Below
The report also found that U.S. personnel stationed in Benghazi at the time of the attack were "vulnerable" because the White House did not direct a change in military force posture.
A senior committee aide described a "disconnect between the perception of the threat and the failure to make changes in terms of force posture."
( PHOTOS: 10 slams on Obama and Benghazi)
As recently as a Fox News interview aired on Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 2, President Barack Obama has acknowledged lax security in Benghazi and pledged it has since been beefed up.
"The fact of the matter is that people understood, at the time, something very dangerous was happening, that we were focused on making sure that we did everything we can — could — to protect them," the president told Fox interviewer Bill O'Reilly. "In the aftermath, what became clear was that the security was lax, that not all the precautions … that needed to be taken were taken and both myself and Secretary [Hillary] Clinton and others indicated as much."
The House Armed Services Committee report was consistent with previous congressional reports on the attack, including an April 2013 report released by Republican members of House committees. But a senior committee aide told reporters that this report reflected the opportunity of House Armed Services Committee Republicans to "go through in much greater detail the entire chain of command" as well as to incorporate additional information from hearings, interviews and briefings.
( PHOTOS: Clinton's best Benghazi hearing lines)
Debate has grown sharply partisan in the 16 months since the attack, as Democrats and Republicans continue to quibble over what led to the attacks. Republicans — in particular California Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — have alleged a White House cover-up. They have additionally been harshly critical of former Secretary of State Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, arguing that she bears responsibility for the security shortcomings in Benghazi.
The report released by House Armed Services Committee Republicans, though, made only passing mention of Clinton.
It raised concerns, though, about the limits of the U.S. military's capabilities in the region, as well as shortcomings in the Obama's administration's ability to secure other diplomatic missions.
"There are disturbing indications that the administration has yet to develop an adequate approach to address the dramatic events that are convulsing the greater Middle East," the report said. "Majority members believe that in spite of the military's efforts to incorporate lessons learned from the attack, growing violence and instability continue to endanger our diplomats and pose significant threats to U.S. security."
( PHOTOS: 10 quotes about Hillary Clinton and Benghazi)
A senior committee aide said that the report "reflects that there is much greater communication now between the Department of Defense and the Department of State to have a better understanding … what areas might be potentially threatened and what the Department of Defense's potential responses are in the case of some emergency regarding those posts."
The committee's Republicans also charged the White House and Congress with continuing to "under resource the military," arguing that current fiscal uncertainty is leading to decisions made that "prioritize cost over operational effectiveness."
"The Department of Defense cannot be expected to prevent or respond to the full range of growing threats, especially as funding declines," the report said.
A senior committee aide added, "We do not equip or posture our military to be a global 911 force. But they will be challenged to respond to even the further threats that we can reasonably anticipate given the further deterioration of the security environment and the further constraining of their resources."
In a joint statement after the Republican report was released, Reps. Adam Smith of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, and Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, said the conclusions "should finally bring an end to the politicization of the heinous attacks on brave Americans in Benghazi."
"While Republicans in both the House and Senate have continued to attack the motivations and actions of those who serve in our country's national security apparatus," the two Democrats said, "this Republican-prepared report clearly states that the Department of Defense responded appropriately, quickly, to the best of its ability at that time and that no "stand down" order was ever issued."
A Senate Intelligence Committee report released earlier this year concluded that the attack could have been prevented, slamming the State Department for failing to increase security at the compound as violence increased in Benghazi in June 2012.
"The committee found the attacks were preventable, based on extensive intelligence reporting on the terrorist activity in Libya — to include prior threats and attacks against Western targets — and given the known security shortfalls at the U.S. Mission," the Senate committee said in a statement accompanying the report.
Last week, House Speaker John Boehner unveiled GOP.gov/Benghazi, a new section on the Republican Party's website that includes a trove of documents related to the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks.
"This site brings the facts straight to the American people by way of hundreds of pages of documents and transcripts the White House doesn't want you to read," Boehner's office said in a statement. "The investigation is ongoing, and the search for truth continues, so new documents will be added as they are made available."

GOOG Flat With Tech U.S. markets are diving as oil is climbing close to $99. Shares of GOOG are flat with the rest of tech. Upcoming catalysts include Android momentum on smartphones and tablets; regaining ground in China and pushing into other emerging markets; updated software, adoption and media partners for Google TV; and progress in other newer initiatives (location-based services, mapping, gaming, etc.). The stock trades at approximately 15x Enterprise Value / EBIT, inexpensive relative to historical trading levels and the broader Internet group.
Google Sees A Big Opportunity In Display Advertising (The Wall Street Journal)At Morgan Stanley's Media & Telecom Conference, Neal Mohan, Google's vice president for product management, said the online display advertising market could top $100 billion over the next few years, about 4 to 5 times what it is now, representing a large opportunity for the search giant. Given Google's display advertising business hit a $2.5 billion annualized revenue run rate in the third quarter last year, the company has less than 10% market share. He also said that its YouTube video site is monetizing more than two billion views per week.
Google Starts Cleaning Up Search (The Wall Street Journal)Vivek Wadhwa, a former technology executive and a visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley says: "The problem is that content on the internet is growing exponentially and the vast majority of this content is spam.

About 12% of U.S.-based queries would be affected by the change.
China Unicom Taking On Apple And Google In Homeland (CNet)China Unicom plans to introduce its own mobile operating system to compete head-to-head with Apple's iPhone/iOS and Google's Android OS in China. The new operating system, known as WoPhone, is based on Linux and it's geared toward mobile handsets and tablets. The company hopes it will help develop 3G wireless devices more rapidly. China Unicom has 170 million mobile subscribers, with only 16 million on 3G.
Mobile Adoption Happening Quicker Than Google Predicted (Search Engine Land)Speaking at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting, Google CEO Eric Schmidt says adoption of the company's mobile services has happened more quickly than expected.

Daily Trader: Short Demand Media, Long Google (SeekingAlpha)Google has clearly declared war on "content farms" such as Demand Media with the new search update and ranking algorithm. Demand will face a mild headwind going forward that can be expected to increase to gale forces for the lowest value content. Might not be the best investment until the company can show that it is able to adapt to the changes made. One way to play it would be to watch Demand Media for a short (sell call options) and possibly Google for a long (sell put options).

I don't care what you eat for lunch. It's a free country.
But, I do care what kids eat. Especially when I'm buying and it's pink slime.
According to The Daily, the USDA is spending my tax-dollars to feed children pink slime. And by pink slime I mean fatty trimmings, connective tissues, ammonia, salmonella, and E.coli.
The Renegade Lunch Lady, Chef Ann, is incredulous, "Children are the most precious commodity we have in the world; we should assure that they get healthy delicious food every day in school. We certainly shouldn't be feeding this stuff to kids."
The argument from the USDA is that the pink slime is $.03 cheaper per pound than ground beef.
Mrs. Q, Sarah Wu, author of Fed Up With Lunch argues that we should be spending more money on school lunches, saying it's, " . . . pitiful money we spend on school lunches. Let's be honest, no USDA buyer feels good about having to purchase that stuff for kids to eat, but they are put in that position. Also, why should ammonia-treated meat even be allowed at all in the US?"
I'd rather have kids be vegetarian than eat pink slime. Wouldn't you? Gak!
"I don't have any problem with kids eating beef," Chef Ann tells me on a phone call today, "but we need to be sure that any animal protein we feed our kids does not have this type of ammoniated meat in it."
Amen to that, sista!
The Lunch Tray blogger, Bettina Elias Siegel, started a Change.org petition asking Agriculture Secretary Vilsack to stop using pink slime in school lunches. Go to Change.org to sign. I'm signing, are you?
Oh, and in case you needed more evidence of the health-food connection, the 2009 President's Cancer Panel recommends that we eat more organic produce and meats. ". . . Exposure to antibiotics, growth hormones, and toxic runoff from livestock feed lots can be minimized by eating free-range meat raised without these medications."
I doubt pink slime qualifies as free-range meat.
If we don't want to get cancer, we should not eat pink slime. If we don't want to get Type 2 Diabetes or become obese, we should not eat pink slime. (Did you know that Type 2 Diabetes and obesity healthcare costs are $5 million a week? Chef Ann told me and gasp! - that's a lot of money.) We should spend our money on good nutritious food for kids, and we'll save money down the road on healthcare.
But, hey, if you want to eat ammonia sanitized connected tissues and pieces of meat, go for it. You can suffer the health consequences. You're an adult.
Can we just agree to NOT feed this to our children!?
Are you with me?
Are you outraged?
What will you do?

The on-again, off-again relationship of Stacy Keibler and George Clooney appears to be off, according to People magazine, which quotes a "source close to the couple" as saying the pair "... quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago."
The culprit? People reports that Keibler, 33, wants to start a family some day. According to the magazine's source, "She knows where George stands on that."
But don't expect a war of words to break out anytime soon; the split appears amicable. "They talk every day," the source insists. "They were friends before they started dating and they'll be friends after."
(You can read the full People article online at people.com.)
The Oscar-winning Clooney, 52, and Rosedale native Keibler, have been a couple since 2011, and according to People, they were last photographed together in March in Germany, where Clooney was filming the World War II drama "The Monuments Men."
Keibler will next be seen as host of a new show, "Supermarket Superstar," premiering on Lifetime July 22. Contestants will pitch their ideas for new food products to a panel of experts; winners will have their products placed on the shelves of a major grocery chain.

With Week 1 behind them, NFL teams are revving up for Week 2. Here's how CBS Local's analyst @Fantasource thinks the games will shake out.
Tampa Bay at N.Y. Giants (-7 1/2, O/U 44)
The Giants were handed a bad loss last Wednesday at home against Dallas. The Super Bowl champs can't lose two in a row, can they? Nah. But can they cover the touchdown and a half? I think they will. The bumbling Bucs are bumbling no more, with a nice win over Carolina last week. But Cam Newton put up 300 yards passing last week on the Bucs defense, and I think Eli can do it, too. Bucs QB Josh Freeman is about to get up close and personal with Osi Umenyiora, Jason Pierre-Paul and Justin Tuck. And he's not going to like it.
I'll lay the points and say the Giants bounce back big.
Pick: N.Y. Giants -7 1/2
Arizona at New England (-13 1/2, O/U 48)
Sometimes you just have to look at the game and say, "why would I want to bet the Cardinals?" And I don't have a reason. Even catching almost two touchdowns, I still can't think of a reason they will be in this one. The Pats are playing in their home opener and they are looking to bounce back from the Super Bowl loss last year. Tom Brady has so many weapons to throw to. Gronkowski, Welker, Aaron Hernandez and, then to top it off this Stevan Ridley kid puts up 125 yards rushing last week.
C'mon, that doesn't seem fair. Arizona only managed 43 yards rushing last week at home against Seattle. New England only surrendered 20 rushing yards to Tennessee (Chris Johnson!) last week. So, you're basically putting your money on Kevin Kolb to keep it close. No thanks.
Pick: Patriots -13 1/2
Minnesota at Indianapolis (+1 1/2, O/U 44 1/2)
Colts get another NFC North opponent this week. They opened the season in Chicago and lost big, 41-21. They also gave up 114 yards and three touchdowns rushing to Chicago. And Colts LB Dwight Freeney might not be playing. And Adrian Petersen is coming to town. And I think the Colts are in trouble. So Andrew Luck's home debut might get spoiled by the men in purple. Jared Allen led the league in sacks last season, and he was probably licking his lips when he heard the Colts signed two guys off the street to help with their offensive line this week.
I think Adrian Petersen (and Toby Gerhart if AP needs a rest), plus Percy Harvin, plus (Game Manager!) Christian Ponder will be enough for the Vikings to get a win this week in Indy.
Pick: Vikings -1 1/2
New Orleans at Carolina (+2 1/2, O/U 51)
I guess if the Saints want their players to show up for games they better start paying them for big hits. Oh wait, that's what got them into this mess to begin with. That was an ugly loss to RGIII and the Redskins last week at home for New Orleans. Maybe finally getting a game out of the way will take off some of the pressure. This line makes me hesitate, (why is New Orleans laying only two and a half points?) but I think Brees steps up to get a division win.
Laying less than a field goal? Yeah, I'll go with the Saints.
Pick: Saints -2 1/2
Kansas City at Buffalo (-3, O/U 45)
I came into this season pretty high on Buffalo. I thought they would be able to get themselves into the playoffs with Ryan Fitzpatrick leading the way. They upgraded their defense, signing Mario Williams away from the Texans, and last week I had them pinpointed as an upset special when they visited the Jets. Well, you all saw what happened. The Bills got rolled. At one point in the 3rd quarter they were losing 41-7. Ouch. I also had KC as a sleeper team in the AFC West, and last week it was the same story for them, the Falcons went into Arrowhead and won big.
So which team will bounce back? For me this is a tossup, but I like the Bills to do it at home this week. I'll lay the points.
Pick: Bills -3
Baltimore at Philadelphia (-2 1/2, O/U 46 1/2)
This game wins the 'Fishy Pointspread of the Week' award. The Eagles barely escaped Cleveland with a win (an ugly win, at that) and the Ravens demolished the Bengals on Monday Night. But the Ravens are the underdog? And the line is going up? It opened at Eagles -1 and was quickly bet up to -2 1/2.
The Ravens are on the road, off of a Monday Night game, so that contributes to the line. But the Eagles defense really stepped up last week, only allowing 210 total yards to the Browns, and the lone Cleveland touchdown was an interception returned for a touchdown. BenJarvus Green-Ellis got 95 yards rushing against the Ravens last week, and if the Eagles expect to win this they have to let Lesean McCoy run the ball, alot. 56 pass attempts for Mike Vick last week, I don't expect that to happen again.
Expect the Eagles to keep it on the ground. The Ravens are tough on both sides of the ball, there's no question about that, but this is a spot where I'll go against conventional wisdom and say the Eagles win and cover at home.
Pick: Eagles -2 1/2
Oakland at Miami (+2 1/2, O/U 39)
How bad are the Dolphins? Well, the Raiders haven't been a road favorite since 2005 (vs. QB Brooks Bollinger and the Jets!) but this week they are laying two and a half in South Beach. The Dolphins got smashed by the Texans in Week 1, and the Raiders, well they were pretty much the Raiders. Dumb penalties, some bad special teams play and they got beat at home by the Chargers. But I think Carson Palmer and Darren McFadden have enough offense between them to get the Raiders the win and the cover on the road this week.
Miami rookie QB Ryan Tannehill is a work-in-progress (3 INTs vs. Houston in Week 1), and Oakland held the Chargers to 32 yards rushing, so Tannehill will need to step up if the Dolphins are going to be in this one. Miami has lost six straight home openers, I'll say it becomes seven this week.
Pick: Raiders –2 1/2
Cleveland at Cincinnati (-7, O/U 38 1/2)
I can keep this one simple. If Brandon Weeden is the quarterback then I'm not betting on the Browns. Ever. Weeden was totally outclassed last week at home against the Eagles. He went out in his debut and threw four interceptions, got sacked twice and looked flustered most of the game. He ended the game with a 5.1 QB rating. That's not a typo, five point one. That's bad. The Bengals have offensive weapons (Andy Dalton, AJ Green, BenJarvus Green-Ellis) and should be able to move the ball against a Browns defense that gave up 456 yards of total offense (5.2 yards per play) to the Eagles in Week 1.
I think the Bengals win the battle of Ohio by double digits.
Pick: Cincinnati -7
Houston at Jacksonville (+7 1/2, O/U 41 1/2)
Houston is the best team in the AFC. There, I said it. Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson and Arian Foster plus a defense that shut down the Dolphins last week. (I know, I know it was the Dolphins, but still it was a nice effort)
The Jaguars were coming into this season with a defense that was their lone bright spot last season. And then they go up to Minnesota last week and give up 389 yards to the Vikings. That doesn't make me feel good about them facing the Texans. I know the Jags defense is better than they showed, but I'm still laying the points with Houston on the road.
Pick: Texans -71/2
Dallas at Seattle (+3, O/U 41 1/2)
Seattle at home, getting points. I'll take it. Seattle has a definite homefield advantage at CenturyLink Stadium (formerly Qwest Field, formerly Seahawks Stadium), they were 4-1-1 ATS (against the spread) last season as a home dog, and Dallas is 1-4-1 ATS as a road favorite since 2010.
I know the Cowboys beat the Giants last week on the road, and yes Dallas is a good team, but Seattle is where good teams go to die. Last year the Seahawks took out Baltimore and Philly as a home dog, and Dallas is playing their 2nd straight road game to open the season. Russell Wilson couldn't pull off the 4th quarter magic last week at Arizona, but at home I think he can get it done here. A healthy dose of Marshawn Lynch running should keep the game under control for Seattle.
SportsbookSpy.com shows that 88% of the public is on the Cowboys, so yeah, I'm going the other way. I like Seattle to pull the upset.
Pick: Seattle +3
Washington at St. Louis (+3, O/U 45 1/2)
Hey, have you heard about the new QB in Washington? Robert Griffin III? Oh, you have? I wasn't sure if you were living in a cave and missed the three million stories about him since last Sunday. RGIII had a great debut down on the Bayou, 320 passing yards in the win over the Saints, including an 88 yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon.
But this week they go on the road as favorites, and the Rams will be ready for them. No sneak attack like last week in New Orleans. In this spot, I like the Rams. Both defenses gave up 330+ yard passing in Week 1. So expect alot of throwing in this one. In a high scoring game between two evenly matched teams, I'll take the home team getting points.
Pick: Rams +3
N.Y. Jets at Pittsburgh (-5 1/2, O/U 41 1/2)
What is going on with the Jets? They looked terrible in the preseason, they couldn't score any points, they had a QB controversy (at least the media thought they did) and everyone thought they would have a tough time in the opener against Buffalo. So what did they do? They went out and blew out Buffalo and shut everyone up. Maybe they can make a run at New England in the AFC East.
Pittsburgh had a tough loss last week at Denver. High altitude, the no-huddle offense and Peyton Manning seemed to be too much for the Steel Curtain. Maybe the Steelers defense is showing it's age?
I think the Jets d-backs can contain the Pittsburgh passing game (although CB Darelle Revis is questionable with a concussion) and Sanchez should be able to move the ball enough to keep this one close.
Pick: N.Y Jets +5 1/2
Tennessee at San Diego (-6, O/U 43)
The Chargers got a nice win as a road dog on Monday Night, but was it really a nice win? Yeah, Rivers played well, but they got a W mainly because the Raiders couldn't keep it together. Lots of penalties, then an injury to their long snapper caused problems in the punting game.
So the perception is the Chargers got it done, but the reality is the Raiders fell apart. Now the Titans on the other hand, perception and reality were the same; they got blasted by the Patriots at home. QB Jake Locker was injured in the game, but should be ready for Sunday. If not, Matt Hasselbeck is the man. And Tennessee WR Kenny Britt is back after a one game suspension for a DUI.The Chargers got 5 field goals last week, and as horribly as the Raiders punting game was they weren't really able to punch the ball in despite favorable field position.
I think this will be a low scoring game, and I'll take the six points with the Titans.
Pick: Titans +6
Detroit at San Francisco (-6, O/U 46)
Coming into the season people were asking if the 49ers wee fluke last year, and could they keep it up this season. Well, I can tell you the 49ers are for real. They went in Lambeau last week and beat a very good Packers team. Now they come home and lay less than a TD to the Lions, who had a struggle last week against a not-so-good Rams team. St. Louis escaped with a 27-23 win on a last second TD. I'm on San Francisco in this one.
Lions QB Matt Stafford threw 3 INT's last week and he can expect the 49ers D to bring the pressure this week. And with no real rushing game to take the pressure off Stafford the Lions could be in for a long day.
I think Alex Smith will be able to move the ball against a banged up Lions secondary and get the 49ers to 2-0.
Pick: 49ers -6 1/2
Monday Night
Denver at Atlanta (-3, O/U 51)
If you like points, this game will be for you. Two high powered offenses, in the Georgia Dome on Monday night. This one will be fun to watch. But who is gonna win? I liked what I saw from both teams last week. Peyton looks like he is back to his old form, and the Falcons offense looked sharp in a blowout win at Kansas City.
I'm going with the Falcons at home, I just think Michael Turner will be the difference. Being able to mix it up, with Julio Jones and Roddy White causing problems for the Denver d-backs, that should create more opportunity for Michael Turner to run. Turner was pretty limited last week at KC (only 32 yards rushing), but they really didn't need him. This week they should look to him more to open up the offense.
Should be a good one to watch.

The Emperor 280 Filter is designed with advanced technology that effectively and efficiently provides all three necessary filtration elements - mechanical, chemical, and most importantly, biological filtration for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
The Heavy Duty Emperor Filter Cartridge provides superior mechanical and chemical filtration. Mechanical filtration traps solid debris like uneaten food and fish waste in the dense microfibers. For chemical filtration, each cartridge is packed with Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon.
The filter also includes a Refillable Media Container that can hold an additional amount of Black Diamond Carbon, White Diamond Ammonia Neutralizing Crystals or Diamond Blend.
The patented BIO-Wheel is the undisputed best biological filter-the ideal culture site for the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria responsible for nitrification in aquatic environments. The BIO-Wheel never clogs and never needs to be replaced.
The Emperor 280 features a revolutionary two pump design. They send water in two different directions through the filter to provide balanced filtration. The Flow Pump routes water through the filter cartridge which provides mechanical and chemical filtration. The BIO-Pump pressurizes and send a stream of prefiltered water through the spray bar to power-drive the BIO-Wheel. The filter also features an adjustable Spray Bar Knob that can be turned up or down to change angle or water flow when feeding.
As the spray-bar driven BIO-Wheel turns, it contacts water and air, providing the bacteria with oxygen they need to grow. Because it is a wet/dry biological filter the BIO-Wheel provides bacteria with as much as 30,000 time more oxygen that any underwater biological filtration. More oxygen means more bacteria working working hard to keep your tank ammonia-free and sparkling clean.
The filter has a flow rate of 280 gph and is recommended for aquariums up to 40 gallons. It includes a BIO-wheel, a refillable media container, and cartridge.

Greater power and modulation for alloy surfaces.
'Nice ride -- How fast does it stop?' This question is asked far more often of sport cars than road bikes, which really doesn't make sense to us. After all, in the world of human-powered road racing, braking power and feel is every bit as critical. The simple story of SwissStop's new FlashPro Blue Extreme Performance (BXP) Brake Pads for alloy surfaces is that they deliver more power with less required lever force, in both wet and dry conditions. But, we'd be remiss as to not expound further.
You may be familiar with SwissStop's Green High Performance II (GHP II) pads, respected for their superior combination of power, modulation, durability, and value. Assuredly, SwissStop could have rested on the reputation of the GHP II compound, but that wouldn't be consistent with its tradition of innovation. SwissStop's parent company, Rex Articoli, is a specialist in technical rubber compounds. And in 2010, it invested in new machinery and materials in order to further develop and refine the BXP compound for alloy surfaces. The goal was simple: Provide greater power and modulation, while maintaining durability and limiting brake squeal.
Now, a few years later, the proof is in the testing. To go from 60 to 0 km/h in dry conditions, BXP Pads required only 35 meters. That's eight fewer than GHP II Pads, and much fewer than the competition. When 180 Newtons (N) of force were exerted on the brake lever, BXP Pads produced 800N of braking force -- a 200N improvement over GHP II. Additionally, the response of BXP is more linear, meaning that there's no sudden grabbing. From pad engagement to wheel lockout, the harder you squeeze, the more you slow.
The SwissStop FlashPro BXP Brake Pads come in a complete set of four pads, and are designed to be used with Shimano and SRAM brakes. For Campagnolo, choose the RacePro BXP Pads.
- BXP rubber
- Bolt-on attachment
- Shimano and SRAM compatibility

Blue, not black
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
So when i bought these pad they look black, but indeed they are a dark blue and very noticeable on an all black bike. as far as the performance goes so far they're great looking forward to some new pads for sure.
consistent performance
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
these are a nice replacement for OEM pads. Using crappy Campy single pull rear and double pull front brake setup, I was clenching my saddle a little with my sphincter coming down some crazy descents into Sonoma county from Napa. Switching to these pads results in better stopping power on allow rims. Interestingly, these pads have very similar performance when wet as opposed to dry on alloy rims. I recommend them. They are not quite as good as Reynolds blue on Reynolds carbon rims in the dry to give some perspective.
So much stopping power
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome brake pads. Cheap and last long. You can't go wrong with them. Simple pads to replace your OEM pads.
great pads
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These pads have great feel and are easy to modulate as well as being quiet. Highly recommend.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After coming down one of the local canyons by my house a few weeks i realized my brakes were not doing the job anymore. Wanted to upgrade to something that wasn't going to destroy my wallet but still got the job done. After much review i decided to go with these and have been very Satisfied.. They almost stopped to well at first.. ( guess i was not used to having good brakes haha) well worth the 30 dollars.
Solid enough
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Nice break pads. Used them to replace the stock Shimano pads on my BR-R650 calipers. Hard to notice if they're perceptibly better since the prior pads were so worn and slightly misaligned by the end of it. The BXPs are pretty sharp - nice grab in the dry and wet. Silent. I ride over 100 miles ~5000ft per week commuting and get into the mountains/fire roads on weekends.
712.1 miles on them per Strava as of this writing and they're looking pretty fresh. Oh yeah, they're a bit more blue/purple in color than the images on this page show (I think Comp.Cyc. pulled a stock black photo).
Great and inexpensive upgrade
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
On any new bike these are one of the first things I change out. Stopping power, feel and modulation are all superior to the original pads.
Normally good, mine were not.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Normally these are great pads but my set are subject to some sort of manufacturing fault. The right side pads don't fit all the way into the blocks. For some reason both the front as rear are not shaped correctly and won't go all the way in.
I've had these before ad they are great pads...I just got dudded.
Are these compatible with Shimano 105 brakes?
Yes, they are.
Perfect... much better than stock
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Much faster stopping than stock Ultegra.
So far, so good
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My initial impressions are good. They come with pad-screws. Fit well. Time will tell what their performance is given more riding conditions.
Scary Good
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are the best aluminum brake pads I've ever ridden. They come close to matching the exalith Mavic wheels, not quite but for a $30 investment WAY worth it. Make my lute gar brakes feel like uber high end stoppers. Grabby without sending you over the bars with great modulation not sure why any other aluminum pads exist. BUY THESE.
Work great!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been hard on my set from downhill cornering for sure! Living in the mountains that is where you tear them up for sure. The fronts went quicker than the rear but overall they work great even in wet conditions! So for the money I cannot bad mouth them or say they did not perform as expected.
Great stopping power!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Look no further. The rubber compound makes these pads super grippy and provide great modulation and control on aluminum rims in all conditions. Definitely a great option for those looking to replace worn pads.

Insights: Indulgences—Caviar Dreams
- By Matt Kramer
- | From Kevin Costner, Nov/Dec 00
I only got my fill of caviar once.
My wife and I were married in Alsace, France, in 1980. I asked the great French winegrower Hubert Trimbach to be our best man. On the day of the wedding, Hubert was on a plane back from London when he met Rudi Franz, a friend from childhood. This is where the all-the-caviar-I-could-eat story begins.
Rudi was returning to France from Iran, where he had just finished a stint as director of Air France. Delighted to see his boyhood chum, Hubert told him about our wedding and mentioned that the dinner was to be at the three-star restaurant L'Auberge de l'Ill. "Why don't you join us?" asked Hubert. Rudi agreed.
We heard about this when we finally arrived at the church. "We'll get together for some Champagne at my flat before we go to dinner," Hubert said. We did just that and shortly afterwards Rudi arrived, bearing a one-kilo tin of black-market Iranian caviar.
No one, before or since, has offered me 2.2 pounds of caviar.
"May as well eat it all," Rudi said offhandedly, as if the stuff were peanut butter at a picnic. There were six of us. We ate it all. Then we went to dinner.
More than any other food, caviar divides the merrymakers from the moralizers. "It's just fish eggs," the killjoys say. That's true, but calling caviar fish eggs is like calling truffles mushrooms.
Still, it is worth keeping in mind that caviar is fish eggs, specifically (as well as legally) the roe of sturgeon. This is worth remembering because it explains so much about caviar names, why it tastes the way it does, and why caviar is so variable and tricky to buy, never mind the purse-popping expense.
"A connoisseur is someone who understands what caviar is," says Mats Engstrom, the Swedish-born president and chief executive officer of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar Inc. in San Francisco. Engstrom is a jovial man who, with his wife, Dafne, launched their caviar business (under the name California Sunshine Fine Foods Inc.) about 20 years ago. Since then, they've received considerable attention for their strenuous efforts to commercialize American sturgeon roe, all the while importing the more prized Caspian Sea caviar.
"Caviar," says the 63-year-old CEO, "is as much the creation of the fish as anything." That's why you have these names.
Beluga is a species of sturgeon. So is sevruga and so is osetra. Each of these caviars consistently tastes different because the fish they come from are different. For example, beluga is by far the largest of all the sturgeon species. It can get up to 1,500 pounds or more. That's why its roe is the biggest.
Engstrom willingly concedes that the best caviar comes from the Caspian Sea. And that's a very big problem. "Fifteen years ago the Caspian Sea produced about 3,000 tons of caviar," he says. "Today the production is 200 to 250 tons."
The former Soviet Union controlled the industry with a famously iron fist. "But started in 1991, with the 'opening up' of perestroika, the system collapsed," says Engstrom. "Fishermen starting fishing for themselves. Then came all sorts of smuggling. Quality declined. The Caspian got overfished. And then there's the incredible pollution of the Russian rivers, especially the Volga, where the sturgeon migrate, like salmon, to breed."
These are today's caviar facts of life. But it doesn't mean high-quality caviar can't be had. Buyers just need to be savvy. And you can't let snobbery get in the way.
For example, conventional caviar wisdom says beluga is the best. But that's not always the case.
"What's the best?" Dafne Engstrom asks. "Beluga has the largest grain," she says, referring to the size of the roe. "And yes, it is good. But is it better than osetra? Or sevruga? Each caviar has its quality. But everyone's heard of beluga, so that's what they want."
We repair to the Engstroms' refrigerated warehouse for a tasting. A row of different caviar tins is laid out, from beluga to osetra to sevruga, from Caspian Sea caviar to California-raised.
The first order of business is the protocol of tasting from the tin. Using a small plastic tasting spoon, like the kind you get at Baskin-Robbins, Dafne Engstrom slips the spoon under the top layer of the tin. "You should never scoop from the top," she instructs. "Always go under. That way the top layer remains intact and the appearance is preserved."
Tasting caviar, like swirling and sniffing wine, has its particular methodology. "You take a small quantity and press the caviar gently against the roof of your mouth," says Dafne. "You should feel the roundness of each grain of roe and then a wonderful melting sensation."
This last point is critical. The business about caviar "popping" or having a crunch is more baloney than sturgeon roe. "There absolutely shouldn't be a crunch," Dafne says. "If it crunches, it's been pasteurized. You don't want that."
Therein lies yet another complication: freshness. It doesn't take much imagination to recognize that fish roe is fragile. This is where salting the roe comes in. Caviar, in essence, is salted fish roe.
Although the caviar folks would like you to believe that it's a rarefied art, making caviar, while subtle, is uncomplicated. Using just the right amount of salt is the key. The skeins of roe are very gently rubbed through a wide-meshed sieve to separate the grains. Bits of the skein are picked out by hand. Then a measured amount of salt is slowly mixed into the roe by hand with a gentle churning motion. You should add just enough salt to draw out some moisture from the eggs to keep them from clumping. The rest is rigorous refrigeration and cleanliness.
This explains, in turn, the commonly seen Russian word malossol. All it means is "little salt," specifically 2.8 percent to 3.5 percent, according to Mats Engstrom. In nineteenth-century America, before effective refrigeration and fast transport, caviar included as much as 15 percent salt. That's why caviar had such accompaniments as chopped egg and sour cream: it cut the salt. Caviar designated "malossol" in the old days was very rare and sought after. Today, it's the standard. Good caviar should never be salty-tasting.
"No way," says Dafne. "Sometimes people think a caviar is salty, especially the stronger-tasting sevruga, when it's really the taste of the caviar itself. Now, you may or may not prefer something like sevruga--I love it myself--but it's not saltiness you're getting. It's the penetrating flavor of sevruga itself."
So what does the serious caviar fancier seek? Tastes vary, but my vote is for osetra, preferably from the Caspian Sea. But barring that, farm-raised American osetra is far from shabby. While beluga does indeed have a bigger grain and a lovely subtlety, osetra has an intriguingly nutty flavor with a very long aftertaste. Sevruga, in comparison, is always more strongly flavored. It's good, but not as subtle.
Farm-raised osetra is the Engstroms' dream. They have their own osetra sturgeon fish farm in California, which has been decades in the making. Understandably, they are convinced that not only is farm-raised osetra the future for caviar--which virtually no one could possibly dispute--but that it rivals the Caspian Sea version. A side-by-side comparison reveals that the Caspian Sea version is still superior. The farm-raised osetra caviar is not as intensely flavored as the wild version. That acknowledged, it's genuinely fine.
Buying great caviar is not something you do casually. "If you can, you really should arrange for a tasting first," advises Mats. "Of course, you can't do that if you're living far away. Or if you're buying just a small quantity, like an ounce. But if you're buying three or four ounces or more, then you should taste first, if you can."
When purchasing large quantities, you're also well advised to deal directly with the importer, rather than a retailer. Most importers such as Tsar Nicoulai and Petrossian sell direct to consumers. They keep their caviar at 25 to 32 degrees Farenheit, whereas most retailers simply put the caviar in a normal refrigerator case that's 10 degrees too warm.
Also, the importer can choose from among an array of tins to fill your order. You can specify just how you like your caviar: not too salty, but not bland, either. You can choose from a sevruga that's just a bit fishy-tasting or an osetra that's lightly or exceptionally nutty. Each tin of caviar is different because every batch of roe is different. This is also why color is unrevealing, as each batch, like each fish, is, effectively, unique. Also, caviar importers know to turn over their unopened tins once a week to redistribute the oil coating the grains.
And what do you drink with your caviar served in its pristine glory? "Champagne," says Mats Engstrom unhesitatingly. "I'm not saying it works perfectly, but caviar is, after all, about celebration." Dafne Engstrom demurs. "Vodka is the drink that works best."
Contemporary caviar fanciers never serve the precious roe in anything other than its austere, sea-scented glory on something neutral such as toast or a Russian blini or pancake, and they never use a silver spoon to serve the caviar. Silver reacts with the roe and leaves a metallic taste. Mother of pearl is ideal, or gold, because it doesn't react. But we surely will react no matter how the caviar reaches us.

STATE COLLEGE - After an off-the-page first season on the sidelines, one of the biggest questions asked of Bill O'Brien in the preseason centered on whether he planned to eschew his punter as often as he did in 2012 and attempt to convert more fourth downs.
Who'd have thought that, two weeks into the season, the down before fourth down would be such a talking point.
But as Penn State headed into its Saturday night meeting with Central Florida at Beaver Stadium, its performance on third downs was a major talking point during the week. It was one after the game also.
The Nittany Lions converted on just two of their eight third-down plays in a 34-31 loss to the Knights. They were 0 for 5 in the first half, during which Central Florida claimed a 21-10 lead.
On 34 attempts to move the chains on third down this season, the Nittany Lions have converted just four times - once in each of their games against Syracuse and Eastern Michigan. That 20 percent "success" rate is much better than the 7.7 percent rate the Nittany Lions entered the game with, which was worst in the nation.
Still, O'Brien said that number needs to get better.
"Once we get to third down, we have to execute better," he said. "I thought (against the Eagles) there were plays to be made there. Whether it was a protection breakdown or a poor throw or whatever it was, we just didn't make the play.
"It will get better. I can't guarantee it, because I'm not into guarantees. But I do believe we're working on it, and it will definitely improve. It needs to."
Some of that improvement may come with time.
With true freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg still learning the ropes, the offense has made its share of mistakes on third downs. And that might not be all that surprising.
They are the most important, pressure-filled downs an offense faces in a given game, and they do take a bit more awareness and understanding of an offense to convert consistently.
"Every play, you're giving it your all. But third down especially, because you know it's a down that's critical," guard Miles Dieffenbach said. "It's a very important aspect of a game that can help you separate yourself from winning big or losing. You just really have to focus on doing what you have to do, and there are a lot of factors. Depending on how long yardage is, will they bring pressure? Will they rush four guys? It's always a big play."
He's no hack
Close to 100,000 people flooded Beaver Stadium for the Nittany Lions' first big test of the season on Saturday night, and that could be heady stuff for an 18-year-old still getting used to playing college football.
But ask his teammates, and there are no worries the stage will be too big for Hackenberg.
"Never," receiver Brandon Felder said. "He's a freshman, but I don't look at him as a freshman. To me, I think he's like a senior, just because of his leadership. He takes control in the huddle. I would never look at him as a freshman. I look at him as a great quarterback. He is a great quarterback, and that's all I can say about that."
It's not as if Hackenberg hasn't made mistakes this season. It's how he has overcome them that has impressed his teammates.
"He's been confident the whole year," Felder said. "Even going back to the training camp we had, once (O'Brien) named him the starter for the season, he kind of picked it up. He's a great quarterback, and I expect great things from him this season."
Hackenberg finished Saturday's game a respectable 21 for 28 for 262 yards and a touchdown.
Irish guys are smiling
The Lions' meeting with Central Florida was, of course, a preview of the 2014 Croke Park Classic, which will open next season in Dublin, Ireland.
Paraic Duffy, the president of the Gaelic Athletic Association, was on hand at Saturday's game and said the GAA has wanted to host a Football Bowl Subdivision battle, and that his first choice to appear in that game was the Nittany Lions.
"You'd be surprised the brand awareness Penn State has in Ireland," Duffy said.
Also on hand to join Duffy was Pittsburgh Steelers chairman and former United States Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney, the namesake of the football-shaped trophy that will be given to the winner of the Croke Park Classic next Aug. 30.
Quite a start
Former Wyoming Valley West star Eugene Lewis made his first career start for the Nittany Lions at wide receiver on Saturday.
But early on, he made his biggest impact during his first start at another position.
As a kick returner, Lewis gave the Nittany Lions sparkling field position in the second quarter when he darted 44 yards on his first return.
Quite an end
Kicker Sam Ficken extended his Penn State record field goal streak to 15 when he drilled a career-long 47-yarder in the first half to cut the Knights' deficit to 21-10.
But that streak ended with six seconds left in the first half, when O'Brien asked him to attempt a 57-yard field goal. The kick was on line, but fell just about four yards short of the crossbar.
Nittany notes
Safety Ryan Keiser, who suffered a head injury against Eastern Michigan last week, played Saturday. ... As expected, linebacker Mike Hull, who was listed as possible for the game with a knee injury suffered against Syracuse, played for the Nittany Lions. He had just four tackles. ... Freshman tight end Adam Breneman made the first catch of his career in the first quarter. He finished with 22 yards on four catches.


text: Hello, in installed postfix with saslauth and courier-imap on my server to learn how to setup a mailserver. Postfix uses virtual accounts and reads all information from a database where every user account holds a 'home' and a 'maildir' field beside other required account information. For the 'maildir' field i initially used the value Code: example.com/username/ This resulted in all mail delivered in mbox format. In the next step i changed this field to Code: example.com/username/Maildir/ The skeleton for this field was stored in /etc/skel and had the qmail structure Code: Maildir/ cur new tmp This resulted in all mail delivered into the 'new' folder. All mail was sent from the terminal for testing. At this point i began to involve Mozilla Thunderbird to send and retrieve all mail. Connecting to the imap and smtp server works. I can send mail, but i cannot fetch it. The client connects and then immediately disconnects. I watch this process from the terminal via Code: tail -f /path/to/log/mail.log Since i don't receive any errors i suppose the problem to be within the folder structure. I searched the web, read several tutorials, but cannot get it to work. I read about an INBOX folder being required and the folders .Sent, .Junk, .Trash and so on. But it is nowhere clearly stated, which of them MUST exist and in what kind they relate to the INBOX folder. So i tried several ways. Code: example.com/username/Maildir/ INBOX cur new tmp cur new tmp Code: example.com/username/Maildir/ .Junk cur new tmp .Sent cur new tmp .Trash cur new tmp INBOX cur new tmp cur new tmp For the next try i changed the maildir field in the database to Code: example.com/username/INBOX/ Code: example.com/username/INBOX/ .Junk cur new tmp .Sent cur new tmp .Trash cur new tmp cur new tmp None of these works. Now my questions are: 1. How do the INBOX folder and all the dot-folders (.Junk, .Sent, .Trash ....) belong together? 2. How must the folder structure beginning from 'example.com/username/' look like? 3. Is is correct, that the whole path to the mailboxes beginning from the root is owned by the mail user vmail:vmail and chmodded 700? I wonder if the user trying to log in and read / write to the mailbox might have not enough rights. 4. Is there a way to track where the client is looking for the folders? Maybe it is looking at a completely different location.

Choose a set of Mysteries from the following below. Think about the first Mystery while
you pray the Our Father on the large bead, the Hail Mary on each of the ten small beads,
and add the Glory Be at the end. The Fatima prayer may be added after the Glory Be. This
is called a decade of the rosary. Think about the other four Mysteries while you pray each
decade in the same way.
You can stop after any decade and pick it up later at the next decade. Your rosary has
five decades, and the Mysteries come in groups of five. That's the usual amount for a day.
But you can use all fifteen Mysteries and go around the rosary three times, if you wish.
At the end of five or all fifteen decades, add the Hail, Holy Queen.
