Every user on a Windows computer can shut it down by simply going to the start menu. Well, Windows 8 is an exception because there is not start menu! However in other editions, if you have many users on a particular computer, you may want to disable certain users from shutting down the computer. This may be necessary in a college or school environment where students use the college computers. If one student shuts down the computer, the other student won't be able to use the computer immediately as it will take time to start. For this purpose you may hide the shutdown option from non administrator accounts. Here's how you do it:
I like the privacy options on Facebook but I'm not very convinced with the range of privacy options available. Recently, Facebook has been working hard to combat the threat from Google Plus. Facebook has introduced major changes including the Timeline Profile page which will roll out officially on the 30th of September. Few weeks ago when Facebook introduced new privacy settings for posts I was very impressed. Users can now select and hide status updates from certain friends by creating lists. This feature was present in the popular Chinese social networking site renren but missing in Facebook.
If you watched the Facebook F8 event, you definitely might have been mesmerized by the eye candy facebook profile page changes know as 'The Timeline'. Timeline not only looks great but is amazing too. Facebook is going to roll out the timeline profile page on September 30th. But, if you are a hungry Facebook fan like me, I'm pretty you'll be dying to try it out. Luckily anyone can try the all new Facebook Timeline profile page at this very moment. You can do this by being a developer.
Favicons are pretty, aren't they? Well, if you no idea on favicons then Favicons are tiny icons that represent a website. You can usually see them in the address bar next to the webpage address. For instance, if you open bizzntech.com, you'll see a mouse icon next to its name in the address bar. Most of us find these icons pretty and easy to identify a website. However, there are some that believe the bookmarks list doesn't look professional or looks messy once due to too many favicons. Well, whatever maybe the reason, if you're a favicon hater, then you can hide them in your favourite browser. Here's how you do it:
Hardware these days is simply amazing when you compare it back to the hardware five years ago. Everything's happening very fast and the modern generation needs it fast just like the fast food. Well, let me stick to the point! The point here is 'the need for a quick shutdown'. Now that the Windows 8 Developer preview is out, most of the geeks are busy playing around with it. I observed that to shut down Windows 8, you need to open the Windows 8 settings pane and click on the power option and then finally select the Shutdown icon to Shut down your windows 8 computer.
Accessing Facebook using the Facebook app on the iPhone and iPad is way better than accessing it from Safari. Well, that's just my opinion! Some may beg to differ! Facebook recently updated the Facebook app to version 3.5. This version included some bug fixes and new features like better profile page, tagging in posts, sharing external links, etc. This version undoubtedly looks amazing and the features are awesome too but several users reported bugs and random crashes on iPhone. Also, if you're an iPad user then you will definitely hate this version because the faceforward Cydia tweak that made it possible to get iPad compatible version of Facebook does not work anymore!
It's been a few months since you noticed 'via iPhone' below someone's status message in Facebook. Even though you own an iPhone and you update the status from there, you won't be able to see 'via iPhone' below the status message. This is simply because Facebook has stopped displaying the name of the device below the status message. However, if you are using a Blackberry, you'll still see 'via blackberry' below your status. Now, that's something unfair and not acceptable! Well, if you are still interested in getting the 'via iPhone' so that can stand up and proudly say indirectly that you own an iPhone, you can still do it! Here's how you do it:
If you are using an iPhone for the first time you take some time to figure out how to use it. I'm not saying that it is hard to use but it is different from other mobile phones. Well, its eye candy looks and its uniqueness makes it a special device. The iPhone 4 comes in 16 and 32 GB. That's quite a lot of space! However, space is just like money never enough! If you are concerned about your usage space then you may consider looking into how you have used the storage space so far. Here's how you do it:

We at Pocket-lint love a good infographic, have been accused in the past of being massive fanboys and also for going overboard for Angry Birds.
So how could we ignore this brilliant infographic produced in part by Chillingo (original Angry Birds publisher) that celebrates the fact that 500,000 apps have been approved by Apple into the iOS App Store?
Now, the actual number of apps now live in the App Store is unknown (it's estimated to be approaching the 400,000 mark) but to have had half a million in there in total in its less than three year history is pretty incredible.
We're sure Apple will be dropping some number bombs at its WWDC event that kicks of 6 June, so expect some sort of official confirmation then.

So the world has been shattered two weeks ago, Deathwing is free but you don't really care about that one bit, do you?
No, you don't.
Because the Cataclysm will be available for play in just a few short hours or the next day if you chose to not go with the digital download option.
No, you don't give a damn about Deathwing right now. What you care about is the upcoming levelling trek you have ahead of you in the days/weeks to come.
What you care about are the new races, and the new professions, and tanking things that you've never tanked before.
Unfortunately, everyone else is going to care about those things too so now is a good time to prepare for that.
You really need to stop and think about how you want to handle this.
While we covered the various methods available to you when it comes to levelling, a fundamental question still needs to be asked.
Do you want to?
A new expansion is always an exciting time as everything is new for everyone but it can be really frustrating too.
Do you want to compete with a million people for quest mobs and resource nodes?
Do you want to get ganked if you're on a PvP realm or griefed if you're on a PvE realm?
Once you have access to the expansion, whether it's at midnight tonight or if it's tomorrow after you get home from work, you have three options to consider.
First, you can grind out instances to hit those levels. As I've described before, yes, it will be boring but you won't be competing for mobs, you won't be ganked much at all and with a solid group, you'll level just as fast as the people that are questing normally.
Your second option is to try get ahead of the curve a little. Everyone will be packed into the two new starting zones aimed at level 81-82 so you can try cheat it a bit by skipping forward a bit and jumping into the next zone a little early. Yes, it will be a little tougher at first, especially when dealing with the stamina inflation present but as long as you can keep up the pace, you'll be levelling in pretty empty zones for the first little while, enough to keep you ahead on the short trip to 85 and you can always return to the 81-82 zones later once they're clear to have a look at the quests that you've missed.
Your final option is to not run the rat race altogether. Go back and start a goblin or a worgen alt. Have a look at their starting zones and level that one up a while. By the time you get bored of it or hit 80 with that,
the 81-82 zones should be clear for you to have a straight shot at it which might be more to your liking.
As with all of my advice, the final verdict is up to you so pick your poison and good luck out there tomorrow.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article describes an obsolete version of Apache Cassandra. For tutorials covering modern Cassandra, please visit http://planetcassandra.org/try-cassandra/.
Cassandra has received a lot of attention of late, and more people are now evaluating it for their organization. As these folks work to get up to speed, the shortcomings in our documentation become all the more apparent. Easily, the worst of these is explaining the data model to those with an existing background in relational databases.
The problem is that Cassandra's data model is different enough from that of a traditional database to readily cause confusion, and just as numerous as the misconceptions are the different ways that well intentioned people use to correct them.
Some folks will describe the model as a map of maps, or in the case of super columns, a map of maps of maps. Often, these explanations are accompanied by visual aids that use a JSON-like notation to demonstrate. Others will liken column families to sparse tables, and others still as containers that hold collections of column objects. Columns are even sometimes referred to as 3-tuples. All of these fall short in my opinion.
The problem is that it's difficult to explain something new without using analogies, but confusing when the comparisons don't hold up. I'm still hoping that someone will devise an elegant means of explaining this, but in the meantime I find concrete examples to be worth their weight in gold.
Despite being an actual use-case for Cassandra, Twitter is also an excellent vehicle for discussion since it is well known and easily conceptualized. We know for example that, like most sites, user information (screen name, password, email address, etc), is kept for everyone and that those entries are linked to one another to map friends and followers. And, it wouldn't be Twitter if it weren't storing tweets, which in addition to the 140 characters of text are also associated with meta-data like timestamp and the unique id that we see in the URLs.
Were we modelling this in a relational database the approach would be pretty straight-forward, we'd need a table to store our users.
CREATE TABLE user (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
username VARCHAR(64),
password VARCHAR(64)
We'd need tables we could use to perform the one-to-many joins to return followers and followees.
CREATE TABLE followers (
user INTEGER REFERENCES user(id),
follower INTEGER REFERENCES user(id)
CREATE TABLE following (
user INTEGER REFERENCES user(id),
followed INTEGER REFERENCES user(id)
And of course we'd need a table to store the tweets themselves.
CREATE TABLE tweets (
id INTEGER,
user INTEGER REFERENCES user(id),
body VARCHAR(140),
timestamp TIMESTAMP
I've greatly oversimplified things here for the purpose of demonstration, but even with a trivial model like this, there is much to be taken for granted. For example, to accomplish data normalization like this in a practical way we need foreign-key constraints, and since we need to perform joins to combine data from multiple tables, we'll need to be able to arbitrarily create indices on the appropriate attributes to make that efficient.
But getting distributed systems right is a real challenge, and it never comes without trade-offs. This is true of Cassandra and is why the data model above won't work for us. For starters, there is no referential integrity, and the lack of support for secondary indexing makes it difficult to efficiently perform joins, so you must denormalize. Put another way, you're forced to think in terms of the queries you'll perform and the results you expect since this is likely what the model will look like.
So how would the model above be translated to Cassandra? Fortunately we need only look as far as Twissandra, a functional albeit minimalist Twitter clone written by Eric Florenzano, specifically to serve as a sample. So lets explore data modelling in Cassandra using Twitter and Twissandra as an example.
Cassandra is considered a schema-less data-store, but it is necessary to perform some configuration specific to your application. Twissandra comes with a sample configuration for Cassandra that should Just Work, but it's worth taking some time to look at the specific aspects related to the data model.
Keyspaces are the upper-most namespace in Cassandra and typically you'll see exactly one for each application. In future versions of Cassandra, keyspaces will be created dynamically similar to how you create databases on an RDBMS server, but for 0.6 and before, these are defined in the main configuration file like so:
Column families
For each keyspace there are one or more column families. A column family is the namespace used to associate records of a similar kind. Cassandra gives you record-level atomicity within a column family when making writes, and queries against them are efficient. These qualities are important to keep in mind when designing your data model, as you'll see in the discussion that follows.
Like keyspaces, the column families themselves are defined in the main config, though in future versions you'll create them on the fly similar to the way you create tables in an RDBMS.
One thing worth pointing out from the config snippet above is that in addition to a name, column family definitions also specify a comparator. This highlights another important distinction from traditional databases in that the order records are sorted is a design decision, and not something that can easily be changed later.
What are these column families?
It's probably not immediately intuitive what all seven Twissandra column families are for, so let's take a closer look at each.
- User
This is where users are stored, it is analogous to the user table in the SQL schema above. Each record stored in this column family will be keyed on a UUID and contain columns for username and password.
- Username
Looking up a user in the User column family above requires knowing that user's key, but how do we find this UUID-based key when all we know is the username? With a relational database and the SQL schema above, we'd perform a SELECT on the users table with a predicate to match the username (WHERE username = 'jericevans'). This won't work with Cassandra for a couple of reasons.
First off, a relational database will scan your table sequentially when performing a SELECT like this, and since records are distributed throughout a Cassandra cluster based on key, the equivalent could mean contacting more than one node (possibly many). However, even with all of the data on a single machine, there comes a point when such an operation will become inefficient with a relational database, making it necessary to index the username attribute. As mentioned earlier, Cassandra doesn't currently support secondary indices like this.
The answer is to create our own inverted index that maps readable usernames to the UUID-based key, and that is the purpose of this column family.
- Friends
- Followers
The Friends and Followers column families will answer the questions, who is user X following?, and who is following user X?, respectively. Each is keyed on the unique user ID, with columns to track the corresponding relationships and the time they were created.
- Tweet
This is where the tweets themselves are stored. This column family stores records with unique keys (UUIDs), and columns for the user id, the body, and the time the tweet was added.
- Userline
This is where the timeline as it pertains to each user is stored. Records here consist of user ID keys, and columns to map a numeric timestamp to the unique tweet id in the Tweet column family.
- Timeline
Finally, this column family is similar to Userline, except that it stores the materialized view of friend tweets for each user.
So, given the above column families, let's step through some common operations and see how they would be applied.
Adding a new user
First off, new users will need a way to sign up for an account, and when they do we'll need to add them to our Cassandra database. For Twissandra, that would look something like:
username = 'jericevans'
password = '**********'
useruuid = str(uuid())
columns = {'id': useruuid, 'username': username, 'password': password}
USER.insert(useruuid, columns)
USERNAME.insert(username, {'id': useruuid})
Twissandra is written in Python and uses Pycassa for client access, so the uppercase USER and USERNAME above are pycassa.ColumnFamily instances that would have been created elsewhere during initialization for "User" and "Username" respectively.
Also, this is a good time to mention that this and the code samples that follow aren't verbatim snippets from Twissandra, I've changed them to be more concise and self-contained. For example, in the code above, it wouldn't make sense to assign variables for username and password, in a web application these would be taken from the form elements on a sign-up page.
Getting back to the sample, there are two different Cassandra write (
insert()) operations taking place here, one to create a new record in the User column family and one to update the inverted index that maps human readable usernames to UUID keys. In both cases, the arguments to
insert() are the key that we'll later use to look up the records, and a map containing the column names and values.
Following a friend
frienduuid = 'a4a70900-24e1-11df-8924-001ff3591711'
FRIENDS.insert(useruuid, {frienduuid: time.time()})
FOLLOWERS.insert(frienduuid, {useruuid: time.time()})
Again we perform two different
insert() operations, this time to add someone to our list of friends, and to track the inverse of that relationship, the addition of a new follower on the target user.
tweetuuid = str(uuid())
body = '@ericflo thanks for Twissandra, it helps!'
timestamp = long(time.time() * 1e6)
columns = {'id': tweetuuid, 'user_id': useruuid, 'body': body, '_ts': timestamp}
TWEET.insert(tweetuuid, columns)
columns = {struct.pack('>d'), timestamp: tweetuuid}
USERLINE.insert(useruuid, columns)
TIMELINE.insert(useruuid, columns)
for otheruuid in FOLLOWERS.get(useruuid, 5000):
TIMELINE.insert(otheruuid, columns)
To store a new tweet, we create a new record in the Tweet column family using a newly created UUID as the key, with columns for the author's user ID, the time it was created, and of course the text of the tweet itself.
Additionally, the user's Userline is updated to map the time of the tweet to its unique ID. If this is the user's first tweet the
insert() will result in a new record, subsequent inserts will create new columns in this record.
Finally, Timeline is updated with columns that map time to tweet ID for this user and each of their followers.
One thing worth paying particular attention to here is that the timestamp used is a long (64 bit), and when it is given as a column name, it's packed as a binary value in network byte-order. This is because the Userline and Timeline column families use a LongType comparator, allowing us to query for ranges of columns using numeric predicates, with results that are sorted numerically.
Getting a user's tweets
timeline = USERLINE.get(useruuid, column_reversed=True)
tweets = TWEET.multiget(timeline.values())
Here we're retrieving the tweets for a user, first by obtaining a list of the IDs from Userline, and then fetching them from the Tweet column family with a
multiget(). These results will be sorted by the numeric date/time, and in descending order since Userline uses a LongType comparator and reversed was set to True.
Retrieving the timeline for a user
start = request.GET.get('start')
limit = NUM_PER_PAGE
timeline = TIMELINE.get(useruuid, column_start=start,
column_count=limit, column_reversed=True)
tweets = TWEET.multiget(timeline.values())
Just like the previous example, here we're retrieving a list of tweet IDs, this time from Timeline. However, this time we're also using start and limit to control the range of columns returned. This is handy for paging through the results.
So what next?
Hopefully this is enough to give you the general idea. Again, I took some liberties with the code samples and omitted some operations in an effort to be concise, so now might be a good time to check out the Twissandra source and take a deeper dive. There are a number of obvious features like retweet and lists, that were intentionally left unimplemented to serve as exercises for the initiated. If you're comfortable with Python and Django, you might try your hand at one of those.
The wiki contains a growing base of information, including an up-to-date list of articles and presentations that people have given.
If IRC is your thing you can join #cassandra on irc.freenode.net where you can chat with people who have Been There and Done That and are always willing to help with questions. Or, if email is more your style there are also plenty of helpful folks on the cassandra-user list.

On vacation, 5 o'clock pm, having too much fun to realize that nothing has been planned for dinner, fridge mostly empty, remembering that uh oh, I'm the one in charge of feeding my friend's children that night.
Open the refrigerator door, see half a dozen eggs, half a carton of milk, some cheddar cheese, leftover sausage from biscuits and gravy the day before, a little broccoli, a leftover ear of corn (cooked). Open the freezer and see half a loaf of sliced bread. Saved. Whew. The kids will not have boxed Mac-n-cheese for dinner.
Have you ever made a breakfast casserole? The basic ingredients are eggs, cheese, milk, and bread. It's the easiest thing in the world to put together. We have a sausage breakfast casserole on the site that is one of my favorites.
The great thing about a breakfast casserole is that you can add almost anything you want to the base. Italian sausage is my all time favorite, but bacon or ham will do too. Or make it veggie, with zucchini, broccoli, basil and onions.
The first time I served this to the kids they insisted that it had to go on the website. The name they picked was "Open Fridge Breakfast Bake" because basically that's what I did – opened the fridge, put everything I could find into a casserole dish, and baked it.
Do you have a favorite breakfast casserole combo? If so, let us know about it in the comments.
As-You-Like-It Breakfast Casserole RecipePrint
The ingredient proportions are estimates. The more eggs, the firmer, and less likely to deflate, the casserole will be. Mushrooms tend to hold a lot of moisture, so if you use a lot of them, you may want to sauté them first to release some of their water. Sausage should be browned and cooked through first. Can also uses spices such as curry and cumin.
- 6-10 eggs
- 2-3 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bread, cut into cubes
- 2 cups milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 cup corn (cooked or frozen)
- 1/2 cup chopped broccoli (cooked or raw, raw will turn out crunchier)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup cubed ham and/or cooked Italian sausage
- A few slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 teaspoon herbes de provence, or other dried herbs, or a Tbsp of fresh chopped herbs such as basil, rosemary, or thyme
- 13 x 9 inch casserole dish
1 Beat eggs, add milk and cheese: Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the milk and cheese.
2 Add the bread and carefully stir until all pieces of bread are moistened (don't over mix or the bread may disintegrate).
3 Add the additions: Add salt and pepper to taste (if using Italian sausage, you won't need either.) If you have a lot of additions, you might need a couple more eggs to make sure that everything is at least touching some egg mixture. Just whisk in 2 Tbsp of milk for every beaten egg you add.
4 Bake: Butter a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is browned and the center springs back when touched.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Dean Wilkerson named Academy of Nursing Education fellow
Sharon Wilkerson, Ph.D., RN, CNE, dean of the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) College of Nursing, was recently named a fellow of the National League for Nursing's (NLN) Academy of Nursing Education.
Established in 2007, the Academy of Nursing Education fosters excellence in nursing education by recognizing and capitalizing on the wisdom of nurse educators who have made sustained and significant contributions to nursing education.
According to the official press release from the NLN, fellows provide visionary leadership in nursing education and support the vision of the NLN to promote standards of excellence in nursing education that will increase the number of graduates from all types of nursing programs. Fellows serve as important role models and resources for new educators and for those who aspire to become nurse educators.
A 30-year veteran in undergraduate and graduate nursing education, Dr. Wilkerson was appointed founding dean of the TAMHSC-College of Nursing in 2008. During her time with the college, Dr. Wilkerson successfully developed the college's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) programs and is currently working to provide graduate-level education in the near future. Under her leadership, the college boasts a 100 percent pass rate on the national licensing exam, significant given the national pass rate is 90.22 percent for all first time test takers.
Prior to her time with TAMHSC, Dr. Wilkerson served various roles with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Purdue University School of Nursing, Indiana University and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan.
In addition to her new role with NLN, Dr. Wilkerson also serves on committees and boards at the state and national level. She is president-elect of the Texas Organization of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Educators, serves on the inaugural board for development of the affiliate constituency organization of NLN, the Texas League for Nursing, and currently serves as chair of the Baccalaureate Conference program planning committee for the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
"Dr. Wilkerson has created an atmosphere in the College of Nursing that draws outstanding faculty recruits and strongly supports continuing education with all faculty," said Lee Ann Ray, Ed.D., chief of staff, Texas A&M Health Science Center and associate vice chancellor for health affairs, The Texas A&M University System. "She is viewed as a leader in education and very willingly gives of her time and skills to others. She will be a great ambassador for the Academy of Nursing Education."
Dr. Wilkerson joins the academy's 144 fellows representing nursing schools and programs throughout the United States. She will be inducted during a formal ceremony in Washington, D.C. this fall.

Bills WR Stevie Johnson resumes practicing on limited basis since straining back
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills top receiver Stevie Johnson resumed practicing for the first time since hurting his back during the team's first spring minicamp session last month.
Johnson says he was limited to practicing individual drills on Tuesday, during a session closed to media not employed by the team. Calling the injury a "strain," Johnson says he felt some soreness. He says he is ahead of the initial prognosis of needing six to eight weeks to recover.
The session marked the first time Johnson has worked in a practice setting with Buffalo's new quarterbacks: veteran free-agent addition Kevin Kolb, and rookie first-round pick EJ Manuel.
Johnson says it's too early to determine whether he'll be cleared to practice fully in time for a three-day mandatory minicamp that opens June 11.

Cacti Graph Templates Explained: RRDTool Graphing Solution
How do I create Cacti Graph Templates? How do I display multiple data sources on one Cacti graph? What do all the Cacti options mean? What is a CDEF? I created a Cacti Graph but all of my data sources are displaying NAN, how do I troubleshoot that?
Cacti is a powerful RRDTool based graphing system typically used for graphing hardware and software data for historical reference. When I initially configured a Cacti Graph Template I found some of the options confusing but as you will see below they all make sense and typically the name explains each items function in a fairly easy way. Please post a comment if you have any further questions that are not answered or if I have made any answers feel free to use the contact form and point them out to me as I am trying to learn the best way to use Cacti just like everyone else. I repeat the same terms many times in this document simply for the fact to try and explain in detail what things mean. I did not want to start switching names with acronyms and vice verse to add confusion and to try and make this a very easy document to understand.

Think your family is dysfunctional? You've not seen The Lion in Winter.
The Lion in Winter, now playing at 2nd Star Productions, is a masterful, gleeful verbal chess game. The players are intense because the fate of a nation and a family dynasty are at stake in this game of ever-changing checkmates.
It is Christmas 1183 at King Henry II's castle in Chignon, France. To celebrate the occasion, Henry has released his imprisoned wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, for the holidays. Their three sons — Richard, Geoffrey and John — all want to be named as heir to Henry's throne. Henry's favorite is John; Eleanor's favorite is Richard.
Then there is Alais, betrothed many years back to John but now Henry's mistress. Alais' brother, Philip, King of France, comes to the holiday festivities demanding that either Alais' betrothal be honored or Henry return her dowry. The scene is set and the fireworks begin.
Fred Nelson, well known for playing King Henry VIII at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, takes the proper attitude in romping through this role as Henry II. At one point Henry chastises Philip about how to argue with him, saying "use all your voices," as Nelson himself does expertly. He is by turns pompous, gentle, demanding, cajoling, loving, hateful. He is always crafty and looking for the advantage in every argument and tactic. Nelson turns in a well-modulated, charismatic performance.
To make The Lion in Winter crackle, Henry and Eleanor must be equally matched adversaries who, astonishing as it seems, actually love each other. Heather Tuckfield doesn't reach that goal. This role demands a wider range of emotions — the glee mingled with sadness of this abandoned queen — than Tuckfield shows. Neither do you see her gears shift when she is outmaneuvered and has to come up with a new strategy. A distractingly out-of-period hairstyle and dress don't help.
The distinctive personalities of the three sons are etched well. Dean Davis as the soldier and brave man of action, Richard Lionheart, is a son who deeply wants his father's attention. Davis conveys the longing, hurt and confusion of his role.
Jimmy Heyworth, as second son, Geoffrey, is the quietest of the family. He is the son who has learned the most from his family's in-fighting tactics, and Heyworth shows him as the one watching, waiting for his opportunity.
Zak Zeeks captures the nuances of the sniveling, cruel and whiny last son, John. His is the least likable of the characters, but Zeeks interestingly portrays him as a soul who had no chance to be any different, given the family he grew up in.
Tanya Davis is a strong Alais, but she could be even stronger in her final scene when she unexpectedly turns the tables on Henry. She, too, has learned well from this family.
Mark Allen as Philip proves a formidable opponent to Henry and does use all his voices very well.
Director Charles Maloney has an inventive set and keeps the action believable and the momentum progressing.
In this Christmas family gathering gone awry, the lead opponents are not equally matched, and that weakens the roar.

Volume XLIII—No. 9
Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Friday, November 9, 1968
Newspaper staff members journey
to New York for ACP convention
Management seminar focuses
on hardcore unemployment
Bethel College and Seminary has
played a vital role in laying the
groundwork and in rounding into
final shape a seminar that will
zero in on the problem of the
hardcore unemployed and ways
business and industry can assist
The seminar will be held next
week, November 11-13, in the St.
Paul Hilton Hotel. The theme, "Top
Management's Concern for His Fel-low
Man," emphasizes the devel-opment
of human resources in ur-ban
centers. The seminar will draw
general management and person-nel
executives from across the na-tion
to discuss practical solutions
to the problem of the hardcore un-employed.
It will be a working conference
with leaders from business and in-dustry
exchanging information and
checking practical ideas for initia-ting
or improving programs from
successful corporate ventures now
in operation. A wide spectrum of
human rights representatives will
be available as resource personnel.
More than 800 management rep-resentatives
from nearly all states
are expected to attend.
Plans for the seminar were ini-tiated
by the Corporations Com-mittee,
a division of Bethel's De-velopment
Council. They secured
the joint sponsorship of the Amer-ican
Society for Personnel Admin-istration
(ASPA), a worldwide or-ganization
of personnel and indus-trial
relations executives, since the
seminar topic was of particular
concern to executives involved in
personnel work.
In helping sponsor the seminar,
Bethel hopes to make some contri-bution
in inserting Christian val-ues
into the decision making proc-esses
of the business community.
Secondly, as an academic institu-tion,
Bethel will seek to extend its
educational service into another
area. Thirdly, the college hopes to
cultivate and secure the support of
the business community.
The theme, Top Management's
Concern for His Fellow Man, runs
throughout general and small group
sessions, a case study project for
problem solving and the visual cor-porate
exhibits from successful
hardcore programs.
"The hardcore unemployment
problem has been isolated as the
key issue facing industry today,"
Loren L. Law, personnel director
of Northwestern Refining Company
and seminar general chairman,
said. Law is a member of Bethel's
Corporation Committee.
"Time and options seem to be
running out. It is business that
must take the lead," Law said. "It
is up to us to replace relief checks
with payroll checks."
Law explained that a number of
companies in the nation have suc-cessful
hardcore programs and
through this practical type seminar
can share their experience with
companies that are planning pro-grams
or that have not yet achieved
the level of success desired. He ci-ted
Control Data, Honeywell and
3M (Minnesota Mining and Manu-facturing)
as three locally based or-ganizations
that will be represent-ed
to impart experiences from go-ing

Urban League director
talks in campus sessions
Lee Bohanon
M. Leo Bohanon, director of the
Midwestern Region of the National
Urban League, discussed civil
rights concerns at several sessions
Thursday on Bethel's campus.
The featured speaker presented
addresses at the convocations of
both college and seminary. Then
he was a guest, along with Law-rence
Borom, St. Paul Urban
League director, at a noon lunch-eon
in the president's dining room.
Students and faculty were invited
to the luncheon for an informal
session, in which the two guests
answered questions on civil rights.
Bohanon also was guest speaker
in the 6:30 p.m. session of the
Negro and American Culture class.
His multi-faceted career in so-cial
work and human relations has
included posts with the Missouri
state committees on human rights
and education, the U. S. Depart-ment
of State Agency for Interna-tional
Development, the National
Board of the National Conference
on Social Welfare and director for
the United Nations Displaced Per-sons
Camps in Germany.
Bohanon formerly directed Ur-ban
League activities in Omaha and
St. Louis. He holds degrees from
the University of Minnesota with
additional studies at the Univer-sity
of Maryland and London
School of Economics.
No further information was avail-able
from the convocations com-mittee
or hosting sociology depart-ment

Five Clarion representatives
were among nearly 1,700 college
students and advisors attending the
44th annual conference of the As-sociated
Collegiate Press last week-end
in New York City.
The three-day convention was
held in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
and was crowded with a plethora
of seminars, workshops, lectures,
and panel discussions. Short course
sequences briefed delegates on the
latest trends marking campus pub-lications;
other sessions dealt with
special problems, certain types of
writing, business and advertising
procedures, and photography.
The Clarion delegation, composed
of Lynn Bergfalk, Maurice Zaffke,
Sue Bonstrom, Margie Whaley, and
Steve Marquardt, checked into New
York Thursday evening, in time
to hear John Allen, Senior Editor
of Readers Digest bring the con-vention's
keynote address.
Although Friday and Saturday
were jammed with sessions, the
group found a few hours to sight-see.
Among attractions at the con-vention
itself was a display of
All-American college publications,
which included the Clarion, rated
as an All-American newspaper for
the spring semester of 1968.
Convention delegates were able
to witness first hand some of the
excitement of the presidential cam-paign
in its closing days as Nixon-
Agnew had set up headquarters in
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Clarion delegates stayed in the
nearby Commodore hotel, where
democratic vice-presidential candi-date
Edmund Muskie had a suite.
One of many sidelights to the
trip found Clarion editor Bergfalk
interviewed by ARN Broadcasting,
a nationally syndicated group,
about the Vietnam war, the pres-idential
election, and campus un-rest.
Clarion delegates also viewed a
street corner anti-war demonstra-tion

Big Nik Dag weekend
kicks off wild manhunt
THOSE WOMEN DRIVERS! Somehow this Volkswagen made its way into Hag-strom
residence's doorway last week during Bethel's observance of Halloween.
Monday morning the Dag barked
and the chase began. By that eve-ning
it was evident that the theme
"It's a mad, mad, mad man's
world" was rapidly changing to
"women's" world.
This year the girls have been
given the whole week to ask a fel-low
to Nik Dag, and many are con-fused
already. One room on first
floor old in Bodien has never
been busier with girls running in
and out between telephone calls.
Having to take the initiative for
once seems to present some unu-sual
and amusing problems for
the girls.
The Bethel Women's Association,
:sponsors for this year's Nik Dag,
are suggesting imaginativity. Their
program will cover only Saturday
night, November 9. A smorgasbord
in Alice's Romantic Room is
planned for Nik Dag couples, fol-lowed
by a pop group concert by
the New Horizons at 8 p.m. in a
transformed coffee shop atmos-phere
in the fieldhouse.
The New Horizons consist
mainly of students from the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. They have
been together for one year and
recently performed for the Univer-sity's
Homecoming. Under the di-rection
of Maurice Le Gault they
will sing pop music with occasional
solo work.
Saturday night's program will
be presented in three sections with
a special feature during intermis-sion.
The cost is three dollars per
couple, and refreshments can be
purchased throughout the evening.
Only one night of planned ac-tivity
with a minimal charge leaves
another night free for creativity.
The plans that have been circula-ting
for Friday night's activities
sound like the fellows should be
prepared for anything unique.

President explains
To the Editor:
One of my young colleagues on
campus asked in the last issue of
The Clarion why I chose to speak
recently in chapel on the topic of
student unrest in America today.
The ambiguity I left in his mind
may be the penalty of my coming
to the text last that particular
However, I have two hopes in
setting over against the backdrop
of the current student revolution
in America Paul's counsel to Tim-othy,
"Let no one despise your
youth, but set the believers an ex-ample
in speech and conduct, in
love, in faith, in purity." (I Timo-thy
One is that older people will not
depreciate today's youth. While it
is true that there is a backlash in
America just now because of the
excesses of a relative few, the very
valid concerns of the younger gen-eration
must be heard. We who are
of the older generation have much
to learn from the thoughtful and
restive young people in our na-tion.

Richard Nixon took 77 percent
of the votes cast in Monday's straw
vote for President conducted by
the CLARION. Hubert Humphrey
managed to get 18 percent, Wallace
only 2.5 percent and seven others
combined a total of another 2.5
In spite of a gallant effort on
the part of those analyzing the re-sults
to make something signifi-cant
out of play, it seems apparent
that not only is Bethel admittedly
not a cross section of the national
political opinion, but that this poll
was not even a cross section of
Bethel's political opinion.
The results were based on only
352 votes of the entire student
body, 14 from the faculty and a
grand total of two from the Ad-ministration.
A boycott of Humphrey voters
added to the insignificance of the

It is unfortunate that the world
is not ready for the Ylvisakers,
but it is even more unfortunate
that the Ylvisakers are not ready
for the world. Their concert sound-ed
less like a paid performance
than a practice session which had
started with, "We'll have to work
on this for seventeen more years
before we can give it in front of
an audience, but let's run through
it once without stopping, to see
how long it takes."
Ylvisaker explained that the con-cert
would be a worship service,
but he read his parts like a South-ern
senator's rendition of the tele-phone
book in the closing hours of
a filibuster. His helper looked like
he was trying to read dramatical-ly,
but he never succeeded.

Also, I have a deep hope that
Christian collegians will find ways
to exalt Christ and to exemplify
His spirit as they express the
concerns which they hold in com-mon
with their contemporaries on
other campuses.
This calls for imaginative, re-sourceful,
and spiritually sensitive
student leadership but the results
can be one of the chief contribu-tions
of a school like Bethel to
our troubled times. Rather than
mimic the public campus, perhaps
we can discover together creative
and constructive ways by which
appropriate Christian responses
can be made to the vital issues
of our day.
Such a quest can be both exciting
and challenging, it seems to me.
And surely it will include Paul's
emphasis upon such values as love
that includes all groups of people,
faith that affirms positively, and
purity that marks interpersonal re-lationships.
Perhaps such Christian young
people—more than anyone else—
can still turn the world upside
down. And it will be done for
Christ and His glory!

poll, although the effect of this
influence is incalculable.
One quite interesting, if not ful-ly
substantiated, result of the vot-ing
was a trend away from Nixon
and Wallace to Humphrey as one
progresses from freshman through
senior to faculty. This may lend
some support to the claim that stu-dents
tend to liberalize their poli-tical
views as they serve their time
in the educational institution.
However, the percentage jump
shown in the straw vote toward
Humphrey by the faculty may have
been influenced by the fact that
only 14 bothered to vote and that
Doc Dalton admitted rounding up
the loyal HHH supporters to vote.
At best perhaps we can consider
the Straw Vote fun. Any implica-tions
beyond that rather question-able
basis for its existence seem to
arouse more complications than
accurate conclusions.

His cause, though, is a worthy
one. The supposed differences be-tween
sacred and secular music do
not survive examination. Once you
have granted that, you become
bound to accept a great deal in
the church that now seems shock-ing.

tune of "Windy" can be worshipful.
Teachers missing
To the Editor:
Many conscientiously watched
the door to see which of the ad-ministration
and faculty chose to
attend the presentation of John
Ylvisaker. A good number of the
watch must have been disappoint-ed
at the meager number which
managed to show up.
Those who teach request that
students remain open-minded so
that they may, even after gradua-tion,
adopt those things which are
significant. To be ready to adopt
something assumes that a person
is exposed to situations where that
something exists and that he un-derstands
it to some extent.
In the Fieldhouse Saturday eve-ning,
a situation existed which pre-sented
contemporary examples of
Christian musical expression. It is
indeed unfortunate that the higher
echelons somewhere above appar-ently
do not think that there are
those with a valid expression for
those living in the 20th century.
P. Buell, Junior
by Chuck Mybro
The Guthrie continues to be
amazing, and "The House of At-reus"
is its most amazing produc-tion
thus far. "Atreus" was adapt-ed
by John Lewin for the Guthrie
from the Oresteia, a trilogy of
plays by Aeschylus. It was first
put on in 1967; the demand for
tickets was so great that it was
brought back this year.
The plays are set in the ancient
Greek city of Argos. Atreus gained
the throne of Argos after a strug-gle
with his brother Thyestes. Af-ter
a period of exile Thyestes re-turned
to Argos for what he thought
was to be a feast of reconcilia-tion.
When he found that he had
been fed his two eldest sons, he
pronounced a curse on the house
of Atreus and again left the coun-try
with Aegisthus, his third son.
Atreus' throne passed to his son
Agamemnon. Helen, the wife of
Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother,
deserted her husband for Paris,
son of Priam, king of Troy. Aga-memnon
and Menelaus sailed to
Troy and placed the city under
seige, after Agamemnon had first
sacrificed his daughter in order to
allay the wrath of the goddess
Artemis, who had sent bad weather
to prevent the ships from sailing.
If that seems impossible, it's be-cause
of a cultural orientation, an
orientation that most people don't
share, and which has become a
barrier to the church's relevance.
The emotions of praise do not dif-fer
qualitatively from the ex-uberance
of some rock songs —
it's only the direction that's dif-ferent,
and the new words to "Win-dy"
can point those emotions
straight up.
The "rock mass" could have been
effective, if Ylvisaker had put out
a little and if he hadn't broken in
with unnecessary explanations and
snide comments. He chose the
songs well, and wisely used very
few that he had written himself.
But the concert was much less
impressive than last year's. Maybe,
with a lot more practice and a
little help from his friends, he'll
start knocking down barriers.
The seige lasted for ten years —
but Troy finally fell.
By the time Agamemnon re-turned
home as conquering hero,
his wife Clytemnestra (angry about
the sacrifice of her daughter) had
become far too friendly with Aegis-thus,
who had returned to Argos
to seek revenge for what Atreus
had done to Thyestes. Together
Aegisthus and Clytemnestra mur-dered
Agamemnon, and took over
the throne of Argos.
Years later Orestes, the son of
Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, re-turned
to Argos, under orders from
Apollo to kill both Aegisthus and
Clytemnestra for the murder of
He did so, but the Furies, daugh-ters
of Night, dark goddesses
whose main purpose was to avenge
those who had been wronged by
their kindred, began to hound him.
Without pity and without any re-gard
for motive, taking into ac-count
only that he had shed kin-dred
blood, they demanded retri-bution.
Orestes fled to Apollo and
asked for protection.
Apollo sent him to Athens for
a trial. The Furies acted as prose-cutors,
Apollo as defender. Citizens
of Athens were picked for the
jury, and Athena herself acted as
judge. Both sides presented their
cases brilliantly; the jury voted
and the vote was equal.
Athena cast the deciding vote.

Greek tragedy has been relega-ted
to the classroom and the nine-ty-
five cent paperback. The devices
so foreign to modern drama make
more difficult the reader's task
of wrenching the play from the
page and extracting from it an
imaginable situation with a drama-tic
effect. The Guthrie has used
all of those devices—used then' so
well that they are never distract-ing.
Men play women's parts. Apollo,
the sun god, is bright gold and
eight feet tall, with a head like
a Mayan calendar. Athena, who re-mains
seated on a throne, is even
bigger. During the first two plays
there is a chorus on stage.
All of the characters wear masks.
It is the triumph of the Guthrie
that none of this seems phoney.
"Atreus" never crosses the line
that separates drama from circus.
Nothing is overdone; everything
moves the play toward its conclu-sion.
The power of "Atreus" derives
much less from the fact of murder
than from the significance of mur-der.
Every event is the result of
powerful forces and every event
sets in motion forces even more
powerful. Men ride a tidal wave
in a ship which is almost-but-not-quite
out of control.
The gods call most of the shots,
and men are in the hands of Fate.
This gives the events a depth and
a power which would not be there
if the strings were being pulled
by human hands. It is the great-ness
of the conflicting forces that
gives the play it impact.

Bethel library
open Sunday
An overpowering urge for a nice
Sunday afternoon nap, despite
reams of homework to be done, is
sometimes a problem for Bethel
But an excuse of "no place to
study" became invalid as of last
Sunday when the college library
opened its doors on Sunday for the
first time.
A heavy turnout was reported
in response to a bulletin board
placed in front of the library last
week announcing the extension of
hours on 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
More than 90 students were tak-ing
advantage of the library study
areas Sunday during the high count
at about 3 p.m. Sixty-six students
were counted at 2 p.m. and 81 at 4
The object of opening the library
on Sundays was in response to
many requests by students and
because of crowded campus condi-tions,
according to Mrs. Carlyle
Dewey, librarian. "We haven't
heard any negative reactions yet,"
she added.
No xeroxing or research assist-ant
services will be offered on Sun-days,
Mrs. Dewey said. The li-brary
will be attended by one of
the more experienced student li-brarians.

This week's interview is with
Marjorie Int Velt, whose work with
her husband, Delmar, is concerned
principally with church planting in
the province of La Rioja, Argen-tina.
Although various methods of
evangelism are employed, they feel
that the most effective is the one-to-
one relationship of communica-ting
Christ to their friends.
Mari, how do you feel about
your college stud:es? Do you find
them relevant on the mission field?
Social Work was my college ma-jor
and I have never regretted
that choice. My experiences in So-cial
Work have been very benefi-cial
in helping and understanding
the people with whom we work.
If I could choose again, I would
add a few education courses. As

a mother who had to teach her
children, I was at a great disad-vantage
for lack of know-how.
What type of Social Work do
you and your husband do in con-nection
with evangelism?
My husband and I are not in-volved
directly as professionals
with any social work because Ar-gentina
has an emerging profession
of trained and semi-trained social
workers. We are, of course, in-volved,
as all of us should be, in
involvement in community social
problems as residents or citizens
of any country.
We realize you work with the
middle and lower class, but is there
any contact with the professional
people in La Rioja?
We have numerous opportuni-ties
to associate with the doctors,
lawyers, professors, etc. of our city.
Many of these contacts are person-al
because we seek their services,
and others we meet through com-munity
Through us these friends receive
the Inter-Varsity magazine "Cer-the
CLARION Page 3
teza" slanted for the intellectual;
it has been well received. Very
few Bible studies have been held
in these homes due to the fact
that we do not always have the
time and personnel to get in-volved.
What advantage do you see in
studying the literature of your
adopted country?
In our contacts with the influ-ential
members of society, I felt
I was lacking in my understand-ing
of their literature and history.
Both are so much a part of their
daily lives. I felt like an outsider
because I knew so little about their
culture. I have read some litera-ture
and history of Argentina, but
now I am really serious about it
and am reading as much as I can.
My Independent Study in Span-ish
Literature at Bethel during this
furlough year is aimed at this goal.
I do not want the Argentine to re-act

Soccer club players discuss strategy during half-time break. Last Saturday the
Royals topped Augsburg 1-0 on a second half goal by Dale Lindwall.
Soccer club comeback tips Augsburg
by Wally Borner
Intramural football has two more Saturdays of action and
both are crucial in the race for the top.
Falcon has been leading the pack for most of the season,
though they won their first game by a last minute touchdown,
and won two weeks ago by outgaining their opponents by one
foot after a tie. Two of their victories were romps of 25-0 and
But last Saturday the Faculty upset the Falcons and
dumped them into a tie for first place with Off Campus. It
would have been a three way tie had Pit not played the spoiler
and tipped Second New on yardage.
So where does that leave us? The big game will be this
Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on the Como Avenue fields just south
of the hippodrome on the fairgrounds. Falcon and Off Campus
will square off to determine the leader.
Falcon is known for its explosive offense, primarily be-cause
of the passing and running of quarterback Dale Saxon
and the receiving of Dan Larson. However, the defenses have
been toughening up and Falcon will meet its toughest line
when Off Campus takes the field.
The Off Campus defensive line averages 225 pounds, which
would make many varsity teams jealous. And to make things
worse, these boys are all very agile.
Ralph Sheppard, a 220 pounder who played high school
football at Sioux Falls, will be starting at defensive left end.
Dave Waite, whose weight is 240, played his high school
football at tColumbia Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis. Dave
will be causing havoc from his position of right guard.
At left guard is Lloyd Rekstad, 215 pounds of football
ability from Hastings, Minnesota.
Merle Danielson, former star tackle from Ramsey High
School, will play left end. Merle weighs in at 225.
At linebacker is a Wisconsin boy, Dave Wicklund, who at
225, is quick enough to blitz effectively or guard the middle
on the short passes.
With that load of beef, Falcon may find themselves on
the ground more than on their feet. To further qualify this
intramural defensive phenomenan is the fact that all but Waite
are married.

In the first half, Bethel had a

and didn't threaten the

promise as the wind aided full-backs

Though Augsburg's passing was
quite often superior to Bethel's,
the home team's dribbling excelled.
Dave Schmidt and Ray Smith

to feed the forward line. So while
the defense was working, the of-fense
started too.
Bethel's first goal came on a
hard, point blank kick by Dale

extra point was missed. Ron Carl-son

Bethel gridders were whipped
63-22 in their final attempt for
victory. Bemidji completely out-classed
the Royals who allowed a
seasonal high of points in a single
game this year. Losing, the Royals
were left with a record of no wins,
eight losses, and one tie.
At halftime the Royals were
trailing 28 to 16. Bemidji settled
the outcome, however, by playing
a steady second half. They netted
325 yards rushing while passing
for 102 yards. Their total of 427
yards was almost double that of
the Royals 219 yards.
The Bethel Cross Country team
ran in the NAIA district meet last
Saturday and used the event as a
triangular meet against Gustavus
and Augsburg. The results weren't
very heartening for the Royals as
Augsburg placed first with 29
points, Gustavus took second with
40, and Bethel brought up the rear
with 52 points.
Dick Olson finished first for
Bethel but placed only sixth in the
three team competition. Rich
Swanson was eighth and Bill Gei-gert,
who was sick that day, came
in ninth.
Selander and Sitte passed for
143 yards in the air. Selander hit
on 9 of 25 passes with two inter-cepted
while Sitte hit on 3 of 5
passes. Receiving, Dave Pound
grabbed 6 passes for 83 yards.
Bemidji's rushing power was
shown as 21 of their 26 first
downs came on the ground. Bethel
picked up 15 first downs.
Bethel received opening the
game but promptly rumbled on
the second play. Eight plays later
Bemidji scored on a 4-yard run.
Continuing to capitalize on Beth-el's
inability to move the ball, Bern-
Four other teams competed in
the meet, with a St. Thomas run-ner
taking first place on the four
mile course with a time of 20:59.
Dick Olson was just under two
minutes after him.
Next Saturday, the team will
be running in the Northwest Open,
which will be held at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota Golf Course at
10:00 A.M. No team scores will
be kept in this meet and awards
will be presented to the first five
idji scored two more TD's in the
initial quarter.
An interception by Bloom in the
second quarter set up Bethel's first
score. Eight plays later Barry An-derson
went one yard for a touch-down.
Harfst's kick made it 21-7.
With 2:33 remaining in the half
Fred Swedberg kicked a 31 yard
field goal, the first of the sea-son.
Bemidji immediately retaliated.
Going 65 yards in 6 plays, they
scored with one minute remaining.
Not to be outdone, Selander threw
a 14 yard pass to Pound with 8
seconds remaining for a TD.
Two touchdowns were scored in
the third stanze by Bemidji, mak-ing
the score 41-16.
Early in the fourth quarter a
Selander pass went astray. Five
plays later the opponents had
scored again. Bemidji then scored
their eighth TD with 4:55 remain-ing
in the game. Bethel's only sec-ond
half score came with 38 sec-onds
Controlling the ball 16 plays, Se-lander
finally went over the goal
line. Bemidji was not satisfied.
Therefore on the kick off return
they went 83 yards for a ninth
touchdown. Tim Weko, standing on
the sidelines, showed the frustra-tion
of the Royals by nearly tack-ling
the opponent as he went by.
Final score stood 63-22_

O'Connell's Pub; St. Louis
Editor's note: A short time ago, Serious Eater Ann Lemons contacted me about contributing some burger intel to A Hamburger Today/Serious Eats. "Sure thing!" I said. Here's the result. For more on St. Louis–area food, check out Lemons's blog: St. Louis Eats and Drinks. Enjoy! Adam
Some fine hamburgers can be found in extremely humble surroundings. Others have emerged from surprisingly elegant environments, such as Palena in Washington, D.C. One of the nation's great burgers can be found in a near-perfect middle, O'Connell's Pub in St. Louis.
This is a fat hamburger, cooked over a flame and delivered, with a Bermuda onion slice and a pickle spear, on a thick, oval paper plate. Not surprisingly, they're cooked to order, and as big as these fellows are (10 ounces), this is not fast food.
The impatient may spend the waiting time with one of the housemade soups that change from day to day, and those who are burger-averse can consider the other specialty, a fine, freshly carved roast beef sandwich. O'Connell's isand always has beena place for eating and conversation. A TV set is used rarely except for the World Series. No music.
While the diner settles in with one of a large handful of draught beers, consider the saloon. Dark and atmospheric, with some real and some fictional Irish poets, patriots, and politicians watching from the walls, O'Connell's began, a half-century ago, in the long-gone nightclub district called Gaslight Square. Some of the furniture in the two rooms has been salvaged from old churches and other buildings. Some of it shows signs of a half-century in supporting roles. Both customers and employees have pasts to remember and stories to tell. The bartenders are capable of intellectual conversations; a couple of them, and a few of the deft waitresses, some of whom have a rather short fuse when it comes to suffering fools gladly, also go back to the Gaslight Square days. When owner Jack Parker, who also owns the antique store upstairs, turned out the saloon and neighborhood lights as the last owner to leave the square in 1972, a local newspaper columnist and regular patron predicted that the move to new quarters in a different neighborhood would be a disaster.
Reader, I married the columnist years later. And I watch as he and Jack laugh regularly about the subsequent years of prosperity that have brought new generations to chow down. Jack's nephew, Fred, took over active operation of O'Connell's a few years ago and pleased regulars by making no changes, but Jack is still around, selling antiques (furniture, not burgers) upstairs.
And while this is definitely an adult-oriented establishment, young ones are brought here to begin to learn the traditions of old-fashioned saloons where conversation provides the entertainment. En route to or from ball games or other events, it becomes deeply crowded, and as many as five different parties may be seated together at the long table in the second room. When it's quieter, one can find a reporter interviewing a famous author in a deep booth, or eavesdrop on a dating couple. Like the St. Louis Zoo, this is one of the city's great experiences-in-common, attracting a wide variety of visitors.
The burger arrives, served with a knife and fork for those who find the object too big to handle. The meat is superb, good enough that when it's served without the bun, it's as tasty as the ground beef steaks served at the most expensive steak houses in town. I opt for medium-rare, just like a steak; no guarantee of the juiciness if you have to have it well-done. The bun is large and toasted just a little. Cheese, grilled onions, you can get that sort of thing if you want it. To me, a little mustard, a slice of onion, and a shower of salt are where it's at. Fries and onion rings, and a number of other sandwiches, plus daily specials, are on hand. Beer, of course, and mixed drinks, but this is way not the sort of place where you'll find people drinking mojitos.
Travelers will be happy to learn that O'Connell's is a half-block from I-44; the eastbound exit is Kingshighway, and it's visible from the bottom of the exit ramp. Westbound, the exit is Vandeventer. To settle the hamburger, or to work up an appetite for it, the wonderful Missouri Botanical Garden is only three blocks east on Shaw Avenue.

Project Emporia. We're guessing many of you have not heard of it but some of you seasoned vets surely have. It was one of Microsoft's many research projects into social, news, cloud computing and other areas of "new media" interest. But being a research project is just that and it entails a finite end.
Such is the case with Project Emporia, which was an interesting news app for locating stories that pertain to your interest. Think of services like Zite. It had a dedicated audience on Windows Phone and even had a few updates here and there but as of today, it has come to an end...
The good news is like all of Microsoft's research, what they learned will be incorporated into future services and officially rolled out. We may already be seeing some of this in the form of "recommendations" in Windows Phone 8, which observes your online behavior either for apps or even local businesses and gives you recommendations based off of that (don't worry, it's 100% opt-in). Perhaps Project Emporia's findings will be used to better augment Bing News and turn it into more than just listings.
Either way, it was fun while it lasted.

The final Con†Stellation is over 🙁
😀↪ But, join us for Not-A-Con 2019!! ↩😀
😀↪ Which will be 18–19 October ↩😀
We will be transforming the Con†Stellation pages into a history site
Please bear with us as that transition will take some time
Con†Stellation XXXV: Horologium (The Clock)
13–15 October 2017——Huntsville, Alabama
|GoH: Mary Robinette Kowal
|Artist GoH: David O. Miller
|MC: Toni Weisskopf
This article is about the 2016 Con†Stellation. For information about the current convention please see the Main Page. For information on other past Con†Stellations see the Con†Stellation History page.
Con†Stellation XXXIV: Mensa (The Table) was held 14–16 October 2016 at the Four Points by Sheraton Huntsville Airport located onsite at the Huntsville International Airport (HSV) :
Adult Membership(←What's That?) rate:
Child and Young Adult Rates:
Rates for children (though age 12) were fixed regardless of when they were purchased.
Children not accompanied by an Adult Member will be charged the Young Adult Membership rate.
Young Adult Memberships (students age 13-21, as of October 14, 2016) were
$5 off the corresponding Adult Membership in effect at the time of purchase. Rate Expired
Each year, Con†Stellation chooses an astronomical constellation as a subtitle to be used for just that year. This year, we've chosen Mensa. Technically, the constellation is named in honor of Table Mountain (in fact, an early name for the constellation was Mons Mensae). It is, however, sometimes referred to as just "the table" and that's the sense we're intending. If you've ever been to a Con†Stellation and seen the number of people playing Killer Cutthroat Spades, you probably won't wonder just what kind of table we had in mind.
Con†Stellation's guests in 2016 were:
2016 was our second consecutive year at the Four Points by Sheraton Huntsville Airport—a Starwood hotel. The hotel is located in the Huntsville International Airport, with hotel reception and most of the function space on first and second floors and the sleeping rooms stacked above the airport arrival/departure areas. It is conveniently located immediately off of I-565 in the western part of the Huntsville Metro Area—click here for a Google Map.
Standard rooms (king or double-double) were $92 (+taxes). A few upgraded rooms (Jacuzzi and Corner King) were available for an upcharge.
Parking in the hotel parking lot was free for all convention members—by bringing your parking ticket and convention badge to the hotel desk to get the ticket validated. Members were requested to please be careful not to park in airport parking (short term or long term). The entrances for the various parking lots are close together so one must watch the signs carefully.
Convention T-shirts were for sale at the convention. Pre-orders could be picked up there, shirts ordered at the convention were delivered by mail.
Con†Stellation's annual Art Show and Auction brings together art from both professional and amateur artists. Art can be anything from a painting, to a pen and ink drawing, to a cartoon, or much more. Crafts are also included and could include a knitted Kobold, crocheted Cthulhu, pottery and glassware, jewelry, even origami! All the artwork you find each year will have some connection to science fiction, fantasy, or fandom(←What's That?) itself.
The final pre-con cut at the Con†Stellation 2016 Programming Schedule was updated Saturday evening, 9 October 2016. For folks curious about what kind of programming we may have at future Con†Stellations, this PDF file may be a useful guide. The version handed out at the convention did have some last-minute changes.
There are a couple of specific programs that we'd like to bring to your attention:
A special event was held Sunday for National Novel Writing Month.
Perhaps you've been to a KaffeeKlatsch at a convention before? If not, the short definition is a gathering with a convention guest and a small group of fans, drinking coffee (or tea, or...) and chatting. Starting in 2012 we put out our own spin on that; providing candy instead of coffee. Success! (Yes, there is strategy involved—you might be ill advised to put a piece of toffee in your mouth just before you want to ask a question.)
Sadly, we have found that there is just not enough support for a traditional Masquerade a medium-to-small conventions like Con†Stellation. That doesn't mean you should leave your costumes at home, though you might want to put emphasis on those that are comfortable to wear while doing other stuff at the con.
In addition to the tournaments:
There was room for pickup in the Game Room—you could bring your own game(s) or check out one of the many games that will be available for your use.
In 2015 we premiered Live-Action Furious Fowl, and we plan to bring it back at Con†Stellation XXXIV. You can probably get the idea where we got the inspiration by checking out the accompanying photos. All participants had a blast in 2015!
The game was scheduled for after the Art Auction on Saturday evening.
Do you play spades and play to win? If so, does Con†Stellation have a deal for you! Killer Cutthroat Spades is a variant on no-partner spades with severe penalties for sandbagging, thus putting extra emphasis on both accurate bidding and sharp gameplay. What did you get if you won? Mostly bragging rights—no small thing in this neck of the woods! Never played Killer Cutthroat Spades before? No problem, we'll help. (Seriously, we actually will help. We love introducing the game to new folks. Some experience playing spades, bridge, or some other bid-and-trick based game is helpful, but not necessary. We can pretty much always round up enough players to teach you at a non-tournament game before you go swimming with the sharks.)
Each year Con†Stellation chooses a charity and engages in fundraising activities at the convention, in particular selling donated art and other items in the Art Show & Auction. In 2016 selected the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library. Many residents of the Huntsville metro area are familiar with the downtown "Fort Book" location, but may not be fully aware that there are a dozen locations all over Madison County (including in the cities/towns of Gurley, Hazel Green, Madison, New Hope, and Triana in addition to the eponymous Huntsville locations).
Our Convention Hospitality Suite (Con Suite(←What's That?) in convention lingo) is one of the highlights of Con†Stellation. You'll certainly find the usual Con Suite munchies and soft drinks every year, but you'll also find more hearty fare at numerous times all through the con. Just ask anyone who's been to one of our conventions and you'll likely hear high praise for our mistress of victuals both in 2016 and years past.
Please see the Main Page for ways to get in touch with the current Con†Stellation.

LEWIS BLACK, Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently a sold out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC.
His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.
LEWIS BLACK came into national prominence with his appearances on THE DAILY SHOW in 1996. Those appearances on THE DAILY SHOW led to comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and Epix. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 Grammy Award-winning "The Carnegie Hall Performance." LEWIS BLACK won his second Grammy Award for his album "Stark Raving Black." Lewis has published three bestselling books, Nothing's Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).

Grilled Halibut with Garlic Cilantro Sauce
I started this cilantro journey with My Favorite Herb Salad, followed by Thai Barbecue Chicken with Cilantro and Tomato and Cilantro Soup. And I already know what I'm making next week for the end of the cilantro-loving month. But this week, it's Grilled Halibut with Garlic Cilantro Sauce. If you're a cilantro lover like so many other food bloggers, this recipe tastes like cilantro heaven.
This recipe came from the mother of Jordynn, a totally adorable girl in my fourth grade class. Jordynn's the kind of student every teacher would love to have; she's smart, cute, well-behaved, and always thoughtful. (Hi Jordynn, I hope you read this so you know that I think you're a great student.)
Her mother e-mailed me the recipe after we were chatting and I mentioned that cilantro had been chosen as the favorite herb. I actually made the recipe after school the same day I found it in my e-mail folder, that's how good it sounded!
Grilled Halibut with Garlic-Cilantro Sauce
(enough sauce for six pieces of halibut, recipe from Jordynn's mom, with very minor adaptations by Ms. Denny)
halibut filets or steaks, 1 per person
Sauce Ingredients:
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup chicken stock (or use a combination of chicken stock and white wine)
2 tsp. lime zest (from 2 limes)
juice of 2 limes (2-3 T or more)
4 T olive oil
3 T very finely chopped fresh cilantro (or more, I used about 1/4 cup)
Other grilled fish I think would taste great with this include Sea Bass, Mahi Mahi, and Swordfish. You could also serve it with Tilapia, Red Snapper, or Sole, which I would probably bake or saute in a pan, since they're rather delicate for the grill.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This tasty recipe for halibut on the grill would be great for any phase of the South Beach Diet, and pretty much any other low-carb or carb-conscious eating plan, including Paleo and Whole 30.

Giants hire Matt Erhart to replace Glen Hanlon
The Vancouver Giants have dipped into the B.C. Hockey League and hired Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart to replace Glen Hanlon as Don Hay's new assistant. Erhart, a 34-year-old Delta native, is a former Eagles defenceman who went on to play NCAA hockey for Connecticut's Quinnipiac Bobcats.
Erhart first joined the Eagles coaching staff as an assistant in 2009-10 and then served as head coach for the past three seasons. He led the Eagles to the BCHL title in 2012-13. The Eagles quickly replaced Erhart with former Vancouver Canuck winger Peter Schaefer, who will now carry the titles of president, general manager and head coach. Schaefer joined the Eagles last season as an assistant to Erhart. Hanlon left the Giants after two seasons to become head coach of the Belarus national team.

Netherlands legend Edgar Davids attended Chelsea training as a guest of manager Andre Villas-Boas, on Thursday.
The legendary midfield enforcer, formerly of rivals Tottenham Hotspur and latterly of Crystal Palace was on hand to watch some of the Portuguese manager's training methods ahead of the The Blues' game against Liverpool this weekend.
And Davids says Villas-Boas' philosophy is to be applauded.
"I have a common friend with the coach and I have always been interested in this philosophy because he likes playing attractive and attacking football and I love that," Davids said.
"It's the philosophy I was raised with, it's a very Dutch way, that's why it is interesting to me. It is difficult for a team not used to playing like that to transform to the system, so I was curious to see how he was doing that and encouraging it.
"When I played with Spurs, Frank Lampard was a goalscoring machine and did very well, unfortunately for us, and I played a couple of times against Roberto Di Matteo in Italy," he added.
