- Henry Melton kiked off a reasonably good game for the defensive line with a sack right off the bat.
- In a change from recent games, the Bears played seven in box on first down even when the Vikings were in running formations.
- The Vikings do like to run on first down but, despite early predictions last week, the Vikings looked like they ran a more or less balanced offense early. They eventually figured it out, though. They began running more in the second quarter and doing it more effectively as the Bears flat out refused to bring an eighth man down into the box. Fortunately the Vikings fell far enough behind to where it limited thier opportunities to take advantage.
- Quarterback Christian Ponder looks like a good smart quarterback to me. I didn't see many bad decisions and he was under pressure from a nice effort from the Bears defensive line for much of the game.
- I was kind of surprised that the Vikings were working Charles Tillman early before he was injured.
- The Vikings made good use of tight end Kyle Rudolph as he repeatedly burned the Bears. I'm thinking they saw what the 49ers did last week. The Bears are going to need to come up with an answer for that.
- Its worth noting that the tacking was better today.
- First series – fumble Matt Forte. Second series, Cuter trips and J'Marcus Webb almost gets him killed by not adjusting on a line stunt by Everson Griffen. Another nice start for the Bears offense.
- I like the way that quarterback Jay Cutler distributed the ball to all of the receivers. In all of the hand-wringing over the Vikings defensive line last week, no one mentioned the miserable defensive backfield.
- Cutler had a really good game. He was accurate, fitting the ball into some tight places, and he used his mobility well to bail out of the pocket and avoid pressure.
- I won't say it was a great game for the offensive line but it was, of course, considerably better. There was pressure from the Vikings defensive line but most of the time it wasn't anything Cutler couldn't handle. Jonathan Scott looks like an upgrade over Gabe Carimi.
- Unbelievable catch by Matt Spaeth for a touchdown in the second quarter.
- Nice use of the clock in the 2 minute offense at the end of the half. Despite the fact that the kick was blocked, the team got Robbie Gould a lot closer for a field goal in the last minute of play.
- I haven't said it lately but Brandon Marshall is unbelievable. The catches he makes with guys literally hanging all over him never cease to amaze me.
- It wasn't thier best game but Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa were still better than the average announcing team you are going to see. I particularly liked it when Johnston pointed out that Lance Louis was pulling and should lead the Vkings to the ball.
- Kellen Davis dropped two and Marshall had a drop. Marshall's drops were costly as one was intercepted and the other should have been a touchdown. But the most damaging drop came in the third quarter when the Vikings Jarius Wright was wide open in the endzone and dropped the ball ultmately costing the Vikings seven badly needed points as they failed to score on the possession.
- I agree with Siragusa. A quarterback, in this case Cutler, should never get a taunting penalty.
- The game was notable for its blocked field goals as each team managed to get one. Julius Peppers just keeps them coming.
- Unlike recent games, the turnovers were damaging today as a fumble and an interception cost the Bears 10 points and and two fumbles and an interception cost the Vikings 14. The Cutler interception really should have been caught be Brandon Marshall.
- The Bears showed some intestinal fortitude and came back to play well after a miserable game in San Francisco. They took care of business, beating a team that they were decidedly superior to at home. Perhaps the bigger story will be the Bears players lost to injury as some important men left the field today (Devin Hester, Tillman, Chris Spencer, Lance Lewis and Forte). They're goiing to be needed as the schedule continues to get tougher.

Now to the mainland United States, where local authorities are gearing up to receive what could be a large number of residents fleeing the destruction in Puerto Rico. But even on the mainland, tough challenges await, as NPR's Colin Dwyer reports.
COLIN DWYER, BYLINE: In just the past six years, nearly 10 percent of Puerto Rico's population had left the U.S. territory during its long recession. And that was before Hurricane Maria steamrolled much of the island last month. Edwin Melendez is head of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York City. He says the number of Puerto Ricans coming to the mainland, which recently has been about 60,000 people annually, could double or even triple in the coming year as these U.S. citizens seek the safety and health care they can't get on the island right now.
EDWIN MELENDEZ: There is a flow that could reach hundreds of thousands of people leaving Puerto Rico. And that - we've never seen something like this. You know, we're really making it up as we go along.
DWYER: A huge part of that challenge is how to support the students coming from Puerto Rico, where most of the schools are still shut down. Florida Governor Rick Scott has promised his state will do whatever it can to support evacuees. That includes more than two dozen state colleges and universities that are waiving out-of-state fees for Puerto Rican students. Schools there are preparing for the arrival of younger students, too.
As of late last week, Miami-Dade County alone had already accepted about 12 new students. And the local superintendent expects that number to rise dramatically as air travel from Puerto Rico gets easier. And other states, such as Massachusetts and New York, have promised to support people searching for a place to live - either temporary or permanent. A massive reconstruction effort awaits Puerto Rico. And Melendez says an important part of that effort will be supporting its residents away from the island and not just in the short term.
MELENDEZ: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States for over a century. And, you know, we're American citizens. And we're American citizens in need. And we've got to demonstrate that we take care of our own.
DWYER: And, he says, the really hard work is still to come. Colin Dwyer, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Japanese Latin Americans
During World War II, the United States interned thousands of Japanese, Germans, and Italians deported from Latin America to internment camps operated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Without proper documentation such as visas and passports the deportees were considered "enemy aliens" subject to internment, despite the fact that some deportees were citizens of Latin American countries. According to historians' estimates, the United States interned nearly 1,800 Japanese from Peru, 250 Japanese from Panama, and substantial numbers from Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Though it briefly considered exchanging Japanese Latin Americans for American civilians held captive abroad, the United States government primarily justified the deportation-internment program on the grounds of hemispheric security.
Most Japanese Latin Americans ended up at INS camps in Santa Fe , New Mexico, and Kenedy , Seagoville , and Crystal City , Texas, before the United States repatriated them to Japan. Under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department, the INS camps were administered separately from the War Relocation Authority centers that incarcerated Japanese Americans. After the war, a few internees returned to Latin America while several hundred remained in the United States as undocumented "immigrants." Decades later, the United States government maintained that it was not responsible for the internment of Japanese Latin Americans, and they were excluded from the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 .
Before the War
As hostilities developed in Asia and Europe during the 1930s, the United States became increasingly concerned with Axis subversion in the Western Hemisphere. In December 1938, delegates to the Eighth International Conference of American States in Lima, including United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull, affirmed their "continental solidarity" and agreed to "defend against all foreign intervention or activity." [1] Despite these cooperative efforts, the United States remained skeptical of Latin American leaders' ability and willingness to counter Axis activity. In July 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt authorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to station agents, known as legal attachés, at U.S. embassies throughout Latin America. These agents gathered intelligence and generated what they called a "Proclaimed List" of individuals suspected of harboring Axis sympathies.
Latin American countries offered varying degrees of support. In October 1941, Panama and the United States agreed that in the event of war, the former would arrest Japanese outside of the Canal Zone and that the latter would pay the expenses for their internment on Taboga Island. [2] Indeed, most Central American countries were eager to cooperate and were among the first to declare war against the Axis. By contrast, Argentina adamantly resisted any efforts by the United States to dictate its wartime policies. Thus, the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II prompted the State Department to anxiously confirm the support of its Latin American counterparts.
Wartime Detention
In January 1942, delegates to the Third Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the American Republics agreed to break off diplomatic relations with the Axis and called for the "detention and expulsion of dangerous Axis aliens" from the Western Hemisphere. The United States sought to protect its strategic interests, most notably the Panama Canal. Central American governments with the closest ties to the United States were the first to round up Axis nationals for deportation. The United States had interests in Bolivia's supply of tin, tungsten, and rubber, which may explain why Bolivia deported nearly one–sixth of its Japanese population. Yet not all countries were eager to participate. Chile, which feared a Japanese attack and did not break relations with Japan until 1943, did not intern its Japanese population of approximately 1,000. Argentina, the last Latin American country to break diplomatic relations with the Axis, did not intern its Japanese population of 6,000. [3]
Peru briefly considered developing an internment program of its own but decided to deport its Japanese to the United States instead. In April 1942, the first ship, the Etolin , left Callao with 141 Japanese males on board. According to historian C. Harvey Gardiner, nearly all of the deportees were either unmarried or had spouses in Japan. Only one deportee was a Peruvian citizen. During the course of that first trip, the Etolin picked up Japanese deportees from Colombia before heading for San Francisco, where the United States denied them visas and passports and classified them as "enemy aliens." A few of these deportees had been on the FBI's "Proclaimed List," but the vast majority were not. [4] The Japanese on this first trip likely believed that they had signed up for repatriation to Japan, not internment in the United States.
Subsequent trips by the Gripsholm , the Shawnee , and the Frederick C. Johnson transported Japanese Peruvians from Peru to Panama before heading to the United States. The ships docked at New Orleans and the Japanese deportees were taken by train to internment camps in Texas. The last sailing of the Frederick C. Johnson , which departed Peru in October 1944, carried twice as many women and children as adult men, a stark contrast from the Etolin's first trip. These "voluntary internees," so the women were called, had hoped to reunite with their families in the United States. [5]
With little recourse under the United States Constitution, Japanese Latin Americans lodged their complaints with the Spanish Embassy, the designated "protecting power" for the Japanese in the United States. Many of the requests, especially later in the war, concerned the reunification of families. The Justice Department had originally sent males to Santa Fe and Kenedy and females to Seagoville. Crystal City was known as the "family internment camp," and in 1948, was the last of the camps to close. The material conditions at INS camps varied, and in some cases were better than those at War Relocation Centers. Nevertheless, the fact remained that the Japanese Latin Americans were held indefinitely without charge in a foreign country.
Peru's decision to cooperate with the United States during World War II was a result of President Manuel Prado's calculated efforts to cultivate favor at home and abroad. By riding the wave of anti-Japanese animus in Peru, Prado fostered a lucrative wartime relationship with the United States, a country eager to find allies in its bid to bolster its hemispheric defense. As historian Daniel M. Masterson has found, Peru secured American loans to finance its first steel processing plant during World War II, and was among the leading recipients of lend-lease aid in South America. In exchange, Peru permitted the United States to operate an air base at Talara, a strategic location that U.S. officials had hoped would defend against sea-borne attacks to the Panama Canal. [6]
Other Latin American countries with a large Japanese population devised alternatives to the deportation-internment program. In the wake of Pearl Harbor, Mexico broke its diplomatic ties to Japan and ordered the evacuation of all Japanese within 200 kilometers of the Pacific coast and 100 kilometers of the United States-Mexico border to either Mexico City or Guadalajara. By concentrating Japanese in urban areas, the government had hoped to more carefully monitor the activities of its approximately 5,100 Japanese residents. The Japanese in Mexico were not interned and relatively few were sent to the United States for that purpose. Mexican leaders were especially mindful of their country's political and historical relationship to the United States, a country that had seized one–third of Mexico's territory as a result of the U.S.-Mexico War. [7]
In Brazil, the large number of Japanese and the critical role that they played in the agricultural economy rendered cooperation with the United States' deportation-internment program logistically infeasible. Nearly 250,000 Japanese resided in Brazil, according to the 1940 census, and the vast majority worked as farmers producing staples such as rice, cotton, sugar, fruits, vegetables and silk. Nevertheless, Brazil took measures to monitor its Japanese population by banning Japanese language and texts. According to oral histories conducted by scholar Sayaka Funada-Classen, the police searched the houses of Japanese residents, stole property, and in some cases, resorted to violent beatings. The Japanese were not interned but in July 1943, the government relocated approximately 4,000 Japanese to Paranaguá from the Santos-São Paulo area. Japanese from Pará, moreover, were relocated to Tomé-Açu. [8]
After the War
In 1945, delegates to the Mexico City Conference on the Problems of War and Peace agreed that "any person whose deportation was necessary for reasons of security of the continent" should be prevented from "further residing in this hemisphere if such residence should be prejudicial to the future security or welfare of the Americas." In the United States, President Harry Truman issued a Presidential Proclamation in September that authorized the removal from the Western Hemisphere of enemy aliens "who are within the territory of the United States without admission under the immigration laws." [9] Most of the Japanese Latin Americans, therefore, were forced to leave.
Between November 1945 and June 1946, more than 900 Japanese Peruvians repatriated to Japan. Among those who repatriated was Kimiko Saeki Matsubayashi, the daughter of a former automobile body parts manufacturer in Peru. Kimiko lived in Lima until she and her family were deported to the United States and interned at Crystal City in March 1944. After the war, Kimiko's father decided to return to Japan. The family found temporary housing in an old school building, sold their belongings, and readjusted to life in a war-devastated country. [10]
Some Latin American countries permitted their Japanese deportees to return but Peru refused to accept responsibility for its participation in the deportation-internment program. The first few Japanese Peruvians to return in November 1945, faced a hostile environment. The sensationalist newspaper, Mundo Grafico , disparaged them as the "leaders of the Japanese Fifth Column." No more than 80 Japanese Peruvians came back and only those with Peruvian citizenship were permitted to enter. [11] Peru continued to prohibit Japanese immigration well into the 1950s.
Meanwhile in the United States, several hundred Japanese Peruvians managed to stay despite President Truman's Presidential Proclamation. In 1946, Wayne M. Collins and A.L. Wirin , attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union , helped 364 Japanese Peruvians obtain "parole" at Seabrook Farms , a truck farming plant in New Jersey. They worked as undocumented immigrants until a change in immigration law in 1952. Arturo Shibayama, a former internee, later recounted his long path to United States citizenship in the documentary film, Hidden Internment: The Art Shibayama Story . [12]
In the decades following the war, Japanese Latin Americans worked with scholars and activists to find out why they had been targeted during World War II. Michi Weglyn , a Japanese American who had been incarcerated at the Gila River War Relocation Center, suggested in her 1976 book, Years of Infamy , that the Japanese Latin Americans had been "kidnapped." [13] Nevertheless, the United States refused to accept responsibility, placing the blame instead on countries like Peru. Largely excluded from the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which granted Japanese Americans redress and an apology from the government for their incarceration during World War II, Japanese Latin Americans mounted a campaign in the 1990s and 2000s to educate the broader public about their own wartime experiences.
In 1996, former internees and their families formed a group called the "Campaign for Justice" to promote their cause. Between 1996 and 1999, five lawsuits were filed on behalf of the Japanese Latin Americans. The class action lawsuit, Mochizuki, et al. v. USA , resulted in a settlement whereby the United States government agreed to issue an individual letter of apology and to pay each internee $5,000. In 2007, U.S. Representatives Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Daniel Lungren (R-CA), and Mike Honda (D-CA) along with U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) introduced the "Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act," a bill currently under consideration by Congress.

The IELTS test is an essential part of the overseas university application process as well as obtaining your work visas to many English-speaking countries including Australia and the UK.
The Speaking test is one of the core components of the overall IELTS test and performing well here is essential to get a good overall score and attain the IELTS band you desire to enter your dream course.
While it is normal to get nervous about the right way to prepare for the Speaking test, you shouldn't believe many of the misconceptions of the test, especially from 3rd party experiences and anecdotes!
In this article, we will be debunking the 9 most common myths and misconceptions of the IELTS Speaking test to keep you back on track.
9 myths of the IELTS Speaking test you shouldn't believe
1. A native accent or slang is necessary to score better
While you might have an accent local to your country, you do not have to worry about getting penalised for it.
Your examiner is not here to ensure you have the same accent as him or her. Your accent or slang is not part of the evaluation criteria and does not affect your score.
Instead, you should be paying attention to what is being evaluated - your pronunciation, use of grammar, fluency and coherence of your argument and conversation.
A good way to practice is to read aloud to improve your pronunciation and practice with family and friends or even online teachers to see if you can be understood and if your ideas flow naturally and well.
2. The Speaking test is simple & easy to score
Yes, the Speaking test is all verbal and you do not need to do any writing, however, like all other parts of the IELTS test, it does come with its own challenges that require ample practice.
Depending on your preference and unique situation, you might find the speaking test simpler but the evaluation criteria go beyond just holding a simple conversation.
You'll have to discuss abstract ideas and issues, talk about yourself naturally as well as ensure your thoughts and speech are coherent with good pronunciation.
3. I have to agree with my examiner's opinion
Engaging with your examiner in a conversation doesn't mean you need to always agree with their opinion or statement, especially if you do not believe in them.
You are not being evaluated if your ideas match with theirs or not. It is about engaging in a fluent conversation with good grammar, pronunciation with coherence.
If you do disagree with their ideas or statements, a good way is to acknowledge what they are saying and then present your idea.
4. I should ask my examiner personal questions
Engaging with your examiner does not require you to ask questions or pry into their private lives.
Instead, you should focus on the discussion topics given to you and talk more about yourself across the different topics such as home, family, studies and your interests.
5. My Speaking test duration was only 11 minutes long
The test duration of the IELTS test lasts between 11 to 14 minutes.
While you might be concerned that your test lasted shorter or longer than the average duration, it doesn't mean that you will score lower or higher because of it.
The evaluation criteria do not take into account how long your test lasts.
6. Being polite & courteous will help me score better
Being polite, courteous and smiling should be part of basic manners when engaging with anyone in a conversation.
It does help the interaction move forward, however, it is not part of the evaluation criteria. You should not worry about being overly polite but focus on the conversation and topic at hand.
7. If I don't know the answer to a question, I might get penalised
Your knowledge of particular topics isn't being tested here. Your examiner will be paying attention to how you say things and the flow of the conversation and not what you say.
While knowing the topic can definitely help, you can't possibly prepare for every possible topic.
If you do not know the answer, you can always draw from personal experience or give your own opinion on the subject to engage and move the conversation ahead.
8. Using short & simple sentences means making fewer mistakes
Using simpler sentences might seem like a good strategy, but you are also being evaluated on how you link ideas together plus your grammatical range and sentence structuring.
It reduces your ability to use clauses, verbs and time clauses.
Shorter and simple sentences limit your ability to really shine and stand out in the conversation and would probably leave the examiner little choice but to mark you down.
9. I cannot ask the examiner to repeat a question
A common fear during the IELTS Speaking test is to attempt to answer every question even if you do not understand the question or have heard it accurately.
This is false!
It is definitely acceptable to ask the examiner to repeat the question or phrase it in a different way so that you will be able to understand it better.
Always ask for clarification when you are unsure, in fact, it will help you score better when you understand the topic.

She had THREE pairs of granny panties and one unfortunate pair of shorts (and that's not counting the granny panties SHE was wearing). She used the same three fabrics for everything. I mean, are you kidding me?!
You know what happened here, right? The judges were mad at Mondo for not listening to them and using that polka-dot dress when they said they hated it. Which is stupid, because that dress is AMAZING. Flattering, chic, just all-around gorgeous. But anyway, they don't like when people don't do what they say. Gwetchen changed her styling when they told her to -- Mondo didn't pitch the dress. Just goes to show that being a brown-noser will take you far in this world. - October 29, 2010 at 5:51 PM

I was disappointed a bit. I think the jewelry designs swayed the judges; but before the commercial break they seemed to be leaning toward Mondo. Jessica Simpson liked the polka dot dress. Didn't her vote count??? She (Gretchen) will be a good "Devil wears Prada" diva. She will eat the weak.

I was so mad just watching the commentary portion of the judging and I was like "Dear Lord they are gonna pick Gretchen!" I walked out of the room when they were about to announce it because I didn't even care at that point.

I get why people would be upset that Gretchen won, especially with the wave that Mondo was riding.
I do have to agree with the judges, though. While I really liked the majority of what Mondo did at fashion week, I don't think his choices were 100% the best (I had no problem with the bubble dot dress). and if he had done one thing differently - use COLOR throughout most of the collection - then he would have won.
Nina hit it on the head: his collection was a cousin to Seth Aaron's. It wouldn't have been if he would have paired colored and neutral patterns together the way he had over the back half of the season. Those items - the Jackie O' outfit and the couture/ready-to-wear dresses - were the big show-stoppers. Sadly, his collection was a little hard to differentiate.
Anyways, I personally really liked the non-granny-panty parts of Gretchen's collection and her overall look. I like flowy, feminite items and it's been a while since anyone on PR has won with something similar to that (season 5, basically). Gretchen was portrayed and received as the one to hate, really, but I think she earned this. - October 29, 2010 at 7:36 PM

She is such a BEAST!
Since when was sad, 70's Hippie fashion the NEXT THING?

I really don't think Heidi wanted her to win. She had such valid arguments while the judges were debating, and Michael and Nina wouldn't hear her out (which was SO annoying and immature). But Heidi really was right. They (the judges) had been encouraging Mondo all along, and then they suddenly say he wasn't listening to them.
To be fair, I didn't hate Gretchen's collection as much as I thought I would. HOWEVER, it was boring, flat, and not a lot of variety. And Michael and Nina kept saying she's got a pulse on where fashion is going. Ugh. Save me, please, if this is where fashion is going. Weren't they JUST saying one or two episodes ago that maybe she had "run out of ideas" and is "too granola"? Also, they want ed to pick her as the winner b/c her collection was so wearable, straight from the runway. But isn't that what they were criticizing her for last week?? It was "too accessible"?
Mondo takes semi-classic silhouettes and funks them up with color and pattern. I like that about him. And sure some of his runway looks bordered on costume-y. But it's a runway show! Aren't runways supposed to be a little show-y? I don't know a lot about the fashion industry, but I DO know there is his thing called "the trickle down effect". Runways are fantasy. And the the concepts from the runway get diluted and scaled down to be worn in everyday clothing.
Anyway. Yeah. Gretchen. :P - October 29, 2010 at 7:43 PM

It was a sad night here @ 612... We thought Mondo was a shoe in, really he is so amazing. I mean the creativity was just oozing from him! I could not believe that they truly were more impressed with Gretchens designs over Mondos! I mean he will be fine I know, he is a true artist but he was robbed... Theresa xoxo

Argh. I am so upset. I still haven't seen the show, had to record it last night. But I knew the second I went on Twitter this morning the spoiler alert would happen. I just simply cannot believe it. I am praying, hoping upon hope, wishing upon wishes - that she had some sort of miraculous runway collection that I didn't manage to see in the previous episode when we had glimpses. Please, please, please tell me this is so!!! Must watch this show ASAP!!! But I am still in shock and awe over the fact that she beat both Mondo AND Andy!! I couldn't even believe it when she beat out Michael C, let alone those 2 guys! ARGH

Yeah, no. I'm so peeved. She was the worst of all 3. And I loved Andy's. I thought it was mythical and pretty with the color and fabric choices. I am not happy

i SO can't believe either, that they didn't mention the granny panties!
i SO loved Mondo's line.
i was also yelling at the screen, and my hubby said "you know they can't hear you?" but it made me feel better.
i grew up wearing 70's clothes and i hated them then, still not going to wear them now. i don't think it is the next big thing! - October 29, 2010 at 8:58 PM

Teen daughter and I were both on the Mondo bandwagon. Young viewer and middle age viewer both were not impressed by Gretchen and her designs. Mondo was a breath of fresh air....he really truly should have won and I hope he goes on to great success despite the loss.

I thought Mondo, Andy, and Michael C. had her beat!!!! They kept saying her clothes were so wearable. I'm sorry, but I don't know any woman of any age who would wear those panties as outerwear in public!!! They didn't even look good on the models. You can buy a case of adult diapers at the drug store that are prettier than those for about 60$! Everything was see through. I was just thinking that I don't even thing Walmart or Kmart would stoop to carrying her things. Maybe the Dollar Store?
I'm not watching again as long as Nina and Michael are judges. Nina should wear those panties! - October 29, 2010 at 9:37 PM
- Liz {Learning To Juggle} said...
I am so disappointed. What bothered me the most was that both Nina and Michael judged them by what is popular now. I don't want the next current designer, I want the next top designer, the designer that the next contestants on Project Runway want to be. I did like some of Gretchen's designs, there were nice wearable pieces, but as a runway collection *YAWN*. So very very disappointed in how they picked the winner this time.
And that polka dot dress was AMAZING!! I didn't see anything costume about it - it was fun and different. - October 29, 2010 at 10:29 PM
- Preppy Pink Crocodile said...
She was my least favorite designer (and person) and I was just shocked. It's not that I love to hate her like Santino a few seasons ago. I just flat out do not like her or her work or her styling. Boo! This was a rather bland season overall though. I feel like the show is losing steam.

- Kim said...
I had to come and see what everyone had to say about Gretch winning because I was a bit horrified! I liked some of her earlier stuff, but this was so blah! They kicked Micheal C out for using too much of the same color (btw Andy only used 2 colors as well), but at least MC's stuff was interesting. I would've liked to see his entire collection. Also note to judges - women are embarrassed to be caught wearing granny panties under their clothing, why on earth would they wear them in 100% visibility??? Mondo's stuff was fun and happy, Gretchen's muddy and boring... I guess it's just like they said depends on what flavors you like. Heidi and Jessica I will come over to your house to dinner anytime, Micheal and Nina .. thanks but no thanks!

Wow, there is some major Gretchen hating going on! Dare I say that I had no problem with her win? "Beast?" "She didn't deserve to win at all?" These comments are harsh! I think we all need to take a step back and consider that a) this is a reality TV show that is highly edited to build characters, and that b) we don't all want to dress the same.
I am happy for her and applaud all the hard work that went into her outfits, including designing bags, hats, and jewelry.
Personally, I'm much more likely to wear one of her flowy dresses than an oversized T-shirt with an embellished day of the dead skull on the front. But that's just my personal taste.
We can all exist in the world of fashion. That's why it's so great: we all design differently, but we shouldn't hate on each other for being different. Let's show some tolerance folks. - October 30, 2010 at 1:54 AM

I was shocked when they announced Gretchen. Was shocked all over again at the pic on your blog of her win.
What Were They Thinking? Wearable?
I do not thing anyone would like to see me sporting a pair of grannie panties outdoors for all to see. I prefer to wear my grannie panties
allll covered up thank you very much.
So what if Mondos stuff was bright and mixed patterns, almost costumey. The short dress would have been fine with out the leggings, I would love the day of dead shirt over a pair of jeans....more wearable that a leather jacket over those panties...oh well...Can't wait for next season!!!! - October 30, 2010 at 2:03 AM
- Kathleen said...
I both wanted to punch Michael Kors and Nina in the face. I mean, com'on, it's not the styling and the jewelry that counts. It's a fashion show and clothes taken from the damn 70's aren't fashion-forward, they're fashion-backward. I really, really, really appreciated Heidi for pointing out that it was a fashion show and going so far in defending Mondo. But alas... Granola won.
But I'm sure Mondo will get a lot of awesome opportunities after this show. In a year or two we'll hear more about him than about Gretchen. - October 30, 2010 at 2:24 AM
Hey Gretchen,
The Cosby show called, and they want their "college students in a cafe" clothes back. - October 30, 2010 at 12:27 PM

I watched it last night and was very careful to stay away from any spoilers. I can pretty much pick up Gretchen's collection at a local thrift store. And it's there for a reason. As much as there may seem to be this retro-bohemian-chic thing going on right now, I only like it's going so far. And I don't think Gretchen has the AMAZING sewing skills that Mondo has. And Michael c's collection was far better. I know they're different styles BUT those collections were far more creative and tasteful. No matter how much Gretchen talks about being poor, it won't make me like her collection any better. I just felt like every time she opened her mouth she was basically saying, "Like my clothes because I'm poor." I hope Mondo gets a contract with Target or something. I'm sure I'll find "The Salamander Collection" at the Goodwill. Where they'll hang beside other stuff from the 70's that smells and looks like it's been in the basement for 30+ years. You might even find one and have to revamp it for a project. Oh, and her clothes will make one look like they're 10 pounds heavier than one actually is. One more thing, I think that Ivy is spoiled.

I agree. Gretchens stuff was a yawn fest. They get on designers for having stuff that is too ready to wear all the time and now it's ok? Isn't the runway supposed to wow us? Her show didn't wow me at all. It all looked very similar and the jewelry was nice but that is all. I'd rather buy one of Mondos accessories any day. Plus his wowed me and I'd wear so many more of his pieces.

I had such a love/hate relationship with Gretchen this season. What finally swayed me in her favor was that even though I might not be really into her style, she INSPIRES me to find my own style. I think that is so important in fashion. She is so confident, and she makes me want to be confident in my style too.

OMG! I love reading all these comments! I am a girl that actually dresses in what I would call a 'southwest' style verging on granola and the only thing I really liked about gretchen's show was the flow of the fabrics and the varied length of her dresses. NO MORE BROWN please. I did like the "styling" but HATED the jewelry! Talk about boring, and flat. It just could have used some glamour. As much as I like Mondo I think his line looked young. After seeing the entire season, I just don't think there was enough innovation. Past season just had designs that were better or worse MORE INTERESTING.

I couldn't believe it either, like most of you! What in the world? They cut Michael C because of the one color thing and then Gretchen won and her collection was all the same too. I think Andy's collection was way better then Gretchen's. I would never ever wear anything she had put out there. Also last season the judges said that you shouldn't be able to ware anything from a runway show that it had to trickle down to wearable clothes but this year Gretchen wins because her clothes are wearable? Crazy! Mondo was clearly the winner by popular choice and that's how I choose to see it.

I do NOT get this. What is with the bizaare knit underwear as outerwear? While I liked Gretchen's ideas in theory, I felt that most of the clothing looked like something my grandmother would wear on vacation. Except for the knit bloomers of course.

As soon as I heard him say "There are two kinds of designers; John Guilliano and Michael Kors," I knew how *that* was going to go. I wanted less commentary and more clothes! Maybe next time ...

- Niqueknacks said...
Yeah, since when is Jessica Simpson a fashion icon, booo on them for picking her.
I'm sorry, Gretchen's collection was boring, I had to keep rewinding because i though I had spaced out and they were re-showing the clothes, nope just the same old ugly prints and already been done stuff,I get that retro is in, but I would never wear that stuff nor give it to someone else as a gift (even if I hated them, I would want to spare my eyes)
I think Mondo deserved it hands down. He had a great use of color and diversity in his line. I loved how he incorporated screenprinting, kept to his roots, and i would pretty much wear anything in his collection.
That plaid dress was AMAZING.
I have to say I wasn't to keen on the final dress, looks kinda like what cruella deville would wear if you gave her an upper. but the collection as a whole was interesting and showed a wide range while being cohesive.
They criticized Mike C. for the same thing that gretchen did, one fabric does not a collection make.
I was sooooooooooooooo pissed I just walked out the room when I heard them annouce it. I think it has something to do with the producers or something because this just doesnt make ANY sense. Gretchen does not even come close to Mondo's talent - November 2, 2010 at 11:26 AM
- Unknown said...
Heidi wore Mondo's dress to the "Black Swan" screening! It's shorter and sleeveless but definitely the b&w dress from his final collection.

text:
Michael Medved wrote an article recently in townhall.com in which he declared that Americans are right to resist an atheist as President. It has brought a lot of attention to this blog, particularly from people who think that my post, "More Perspective on the Pledge" (and the book that came out of it, "A Perspective on the Pledge") provides an effective counter to Medved's claim.
Medved used as a part of his argument that America is right to reject an atheist President because the Pledge of Allegiance contains the word "under God".
Then there's the significant matter of the Pledge of Allegiance. Would President Atheist pronounce the controversial words "under God"? If he did, he'd stand accused (rightly) of rank hypocrisy. And if he didn't, he'd pointedly excuse himself from a daily ritual that overwhelming majorities of his fellow citizens consider meaningful.
In other words, he is arguing that the Pledge of Allegiance, as written, is a de facto religious test for public office in that only a person who can sincerely say the Pledge of Allegiance as written is fit to be President. Or, to put it another way, the purpose that 'under God' serves in the Pledge of Allegiance is to help keep atheists out of public office.
The story, More Perspective on the Pledge, aimed to show the bigotry in the Pledge of Allegiance by examining the effect of a similar pledge – a pledge to "one white nation" in a country called 'Ameryca' – on the life of a black high school student named Shawn Henry. Shawn argues in the book that the word 'white' was added to the Pledge of Allegiance primarily as a way of putting black candidates at a political disadvantage and, thus, to make sure that government power remains in the hands of white Amerycans - the same way that 'under God' was inserted to keep political power out of the hands of atheists and in the hands of religious Amerycans. This is one of several arguments that Shawn uses in the course of the book to reject the Pledge.
Using the arguments in that book, it would be a simple matter to create a parody of Medved's argument by introducing a character into the book that argues why Ameryca is right to resist a black President.
This Amerycan version of Medved would start off with arguments that Ameryca is right to resist a black President because of "Hollowness and Hypocrisy at State Occasions." I would only need to introduce a number of popular rituals, such as a Pledge of Allegiance to 'one white nation', designed by white Amerycans declaring the great value to be found in being a white Amerycan.
Then, my Amerycan Medved could sensibly write:
[B]ut truly overwhelming majorities cherish such traditions. The notion of dropping or altering all references to the superiority of the white race on public occasions to avoid discomfort for a single individual amounts to a formula for a disastrously unpopular presidency.
Well, yes, we may assume that a black Presidency in such a heavily racist society would be 'unpopular'. Yet, we must remember that Medved is attempting to argue that it is right for Ameryca to resist a black President. The fact that a black President would not be a popular leader is hardly an argument for saying that keeping blacks out of public office is the right thing to do. It may well be the case that the right thing to do would be to start fighting the prejudice (including the state rituals that maintain the prejudice) that keep blacks out of public office.
The Amerycan version of Medved would continue his argument by claiming that a black President would simply not be able to relate to Ameryca's white citizens. He would write about how it must be the case that, if the President were black, white Amerycans would only be able to take this as a put-down – as, itself, a denigrating statement – about white Amerycans.
To break the analogy for a moment, Medved argues that we could have a Jewish President, but not an atheist President. For some reason, "A leader who touts his non-belief will, even with the best of intentions, give the impression that he looks down on the people who elected him."
But, then, isn't the Jewish religion a form of non-belief? Isn't it an expression of a non-belief in the divinity of Jesus? If so, then why is it not the case that touting this non-belief (in the divinity of Jesus) will 'give the impression that he looks down on the people who elected him'?
The difference is that Medved is using the existence of a prejudice to justify prejudice. "Because we are anti-atheist bigots, we have a moral right to resist an atheist President. The reason we do not have the same right to resist a Jewish President is because we are not anti-Jewish bigots." Medved blinds himself to the fact that, by his own argument, if Americans saw the denial of the divinity of Jesus as a sign that the Jew 'looks down on' the Christian, then Americans would also be right to resist a Jewish President.
Now, back to the analogy. The Amerycan version of Medved would then close his argument by noting that Ameryca is surrounded by countries that have an even stronger dislike for blacks than Ameryca. The reason Ameryca should not elect a black President, according to this argument, is that a black President would be unable to negotiate with those countries where – well, to be honest, they simply do not tolerate blacks in those countries.
Being surrounded by such a prejudice would in fact, be an important practical consideration. It has practical value in the same way that if our United States were surrounded by cultures that refused to deal with women as political equals, then we would have reason to resist having a female President.
However, there is a distinction here between a practical consideration and a moral consideration. Immoral people, when they put a gun to our head or threaten to harm the people we care about (or even strangers we don't know but who do not deserve to be harmed) can sometimes force us to do things that are otherwise wrong.
Bigoted foreign powers might force us to reject an otherwise well qualified President. However, this would be an example of performing an immoral act while under an external threat that has power over us. It would not be an example of performing a moral act. It would be an argument for getting out from under that external threat – to weaken it, so that it no longer has the ability to threaten those whom we love in order to get us to do things that are wrong.
There are three main points that are relevant to this posting.
(1) Michael Medved is a hate-mongerng bigot, as are any readers who read through his trash and nod in agreement.
And the world is a worse place because of him. People are worse off than they would have otherwise been if Medved had decided to be a fair and just individual, rather than a hate-mongering bigot.
A fair and just person would begin with the assumption that there should be no discrimination against an atheist candidate. He would look with suspicion on any argument that claims otherwise as a sign that the person making it is embracing the argument to rationalize his own bigotry. He would be forced into the conclusion – recognize the need to yield to discriminatory practices – only when the weight of the arguments forced him into it.
Medved was so eager to embrace arguments of such stunning weakness, that we may conclude that he did not approach this issue the way a fair and just person would have done so. He approached it with the mind of a bigot, looking for any excuse that would give his bigotry even an illusion of legitimacy. He was not driven to his conclusions by the weight of the evidence. Rather, his fondness for the conclusion drove him to accept evidence that a fair and just person would have recognized as seriously flawed rationalizations.
(2) Medved has a very low opinion of what Christians are morally capable of doing.
Medved's argument depends on a description of a Christian as somebody who cannot accept the idea of an atheist as a political equal. On Medved's account of what a 'Christian' is, it would be impossible for a Christian to have an atheist as a friend or a peer (a co-worker or a team member), or to love an atheist child or sibling or parent. Medved's 'Christian' must view the mere existence of an atheist as an insult to his religious beliefs. (But not, for some reason, the Jew.)
Contrary to Medved's view of Christians, I suggest that there are a lot of Christians who are on friendly terms with atheists and able to give atheists the same respect they give Jews and Muslims. Every one of these instances belies Medved's description of a Christian as somebody who must necessarily find atheism unacceptable.
In fact, Medved's account goes beyond claiming that Christians are incapable of seeing atheists as political ppers. He says that it is 'right' to resist an atheist President. This suggests that, if one has to choose between being a Christian who accepts atheists as fellow citizens and being a Christian who cannot do so, the 'right' option is to choose to be the intolerant Christian. By which we can infer that, according to Medved, it would be 'wrong' to choose to be the tolerant Christian.
(3) 'Under God' and 'In God We Trust' are de facto religious tests for public office. Their purpose is to put atheists at a political disadvantage – to make it harder for voters to support atheist candidates. And they are very effective in that regard. "If you can't say the Pledge of Allegiance at your own political rallies, then you cannot get my vote."
Now, it is widely known that while the Constitution prohibits a religious test for public office, it is not illegal for citizens to use a religious test. However, 'Under God' and 'In God We Trust' are both government-supported religious tests for public office. Their practical (and intended) effect is to put such a heavy disadvantage on any candidate who does not support 'one nation under God' or who does not 'trust in God' that their practical effect is to disqualify those candidates from public office.
Between now and the end of June, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will render a decision on 'under God' and 'In God We Trust'. When that happens, remaining silent on whether these practices should continue implies giving consent to a principal that no atheist is fit to hold public office – that to be a qualified public servant one must support 'one nation under God' and be a member of the group 'we' mentioned in 'In God We Trust'.
I wrote the story, "More Perspective on the Pledge", to highlight the bigotry inherent in these practices, and I wrote the book, "A Perspective on the Pledge", to gather the arguments surrounding this issue in one convenient location.
I think it would be a good idea to give the matter some attention, and to be ready with a course of action when the 9th Circuit Court of Opinion's decision hits the news. I think it would be a good idea to prepare to be very loud in one's protest that practices aiming to keep atheists out of public office are both immoral and unconstitutional. So that, some day, we can have a country that does not resist an atheist President.


text: Over the past 20 years, Matthew Kelly has seen more of the world than most presidents and more of the Church than most bishops. Now, in this unique and timely book, he proposes that Catholicism is not a lifeless set of rules and regulations , but a way of life designed by God to help each person reach his or her full potential. With remarkable insight, Kelly dispels dozens of myths that surround the rejection of Catholicism today and provides a profound and practical vision of what will lead the Catholic Church to thrive again in the future. Rediscover Catholicism is quickly becoming the most read catholic book of our times. From the spellbinding opening story, Kelly grips his readers and takes them on a life-changing journey to rediscover the genius of Catholicism.

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean President Moon Jae-in took office four months ago with plans to reach out to North Korea in a way his conservative predecessors did not in the previous decade. Two ICBM launches and one nuclear test later, his government is ramping up its defenses, with some officials even considering asking the United States to bring back tactical nuclear weapons a generation after their removal from the Korean Peninsula.
Seoul's new interest in stronger weapons received a boost Tuesday when the Trump administration agreed to remove previous restrictions on South Korean missiles.
But South Korean hunger for military strength goes beyond just missiles. Government officials also endorse the nation getting nuclear-powered submarines. And Seoul's defense minister says the idea of bringing back U.S. tactical nukes to South Korea should be "deeply considered" by the allies.
This shift right by the liberal Moon underscores deep unease that the North's expanding nuclear weapons arsenal will undermine the country's decades-long alliance with the United States. Pyongyang may soon perfect an intercontinental ballistic missile that can target the U.S. mainland.
Here are some of the military capabilities South Korea is pursuing or may soon:
South Korea says stronger missiles are crucial to the so-called "kill chain" pre-emptive strike capability it wants to use to target North Korea. A pre-emptive strike against Pyongyang's leadership would be difficult to undertake, but it's widely seen as the most realistic of the limited military options Seoul has to deny a nuclear attack from its rival.
In August, South Korea conducted the last scheduled flight test of a new missile with a range of 800 kilometers (500 miles). It will soon join the "Hyunmoo" family of ballistic missiles that currently have a maximum range of 500 kilometers (310 miles).
While Seoul's military says its missiles are currently capable of wiping out North Korean structures on land, it says heavier warheads are needed to target North Korea's underground facilities and bunkers.
Following North Korea's second test of an ICBM in July, Moon ordered his military to schedule talks with the United States to increase warhead weight limits on South Korea's maximum-range missiles. Moon's office didn't announce any changes to the range limit on Tuesday.
South Korean missile developments have been constrained by a bilateral guideline between the allies since the late 1970s, when Washington sought to check Seoul's missile development under military dictator Park Chung-hee, a staunch anti-communist who ruled South Korea in the 1960s and '70s. The restrictions have been eased over the years.
Several South Korean government officials, including Prime Minster Lee Nak-yon, the country's No. 2, have been calling for South Korea to acquire a nuclear-powered submarine. South Korea's navy is planning a feasibility study over getting such vessels, although some experts see the possibility as low.
Supporters say such vessels are critical for coping with North Korea's submarine-launched ballistic missile system because they can operate much longer than conventional diesel-powered submarines without refueling. That gives them a better chance to find and track North Korean subs, they argue.
In August last year, the North successfully test-fired for the first time a submarine-launched ballistic missile that flew about 500 kilometers (310 miles). Such technology in the hands of North Korea is an alarming thought for South Korea and Japan because such weapons are harder to detect before launch.
If South Korea makes a real push for nuclear-powered subs, critics say it may never overcome political and technical hurdles. Washington may also balk at Seoul's acquisition of the enriched uranium needed to operate such submarines. Critics also argue that Washington already provides its ally a nuclear umbrella of protection and can easily ship in assets to detect and contain North Korean submarines when needed.
Experts say South Korea would have an even harder time persuading the United States to re-introduce tactical nukes to the Korean Peninsula. These were withdrawn in the 1990s.
Even so, that hasn't stopped lawmakers from South Korea's largest conservative party from demanding the return of the weapons. Song Young-moo, Seoul's defense minister, told lawmakers Monday that the allies should consider the issue.
South Koreans who support the return of U.S. tactical nukes often raise fears of rifts in the decades-old security alliance between Washington and Seoul because of North Korea's expanding nuclear weapons program.
If North Korea obtains a fully functional ICBM, the United States might hesitate using its nuclear weapons to defend South Korea because of worries that North Korea might then strike a U.S. city, they say. Placing U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea would make clear the intent to use nukes in a crisis.
Critics say it's highly unlikely the United States would ever agree because it now relies on homeland and sea-based military assets to provide its allies extended nuclear deterrence. Some South Korean military experts say the nukes wouldn't meaningfully improve the South's defense and would only provide North Korea more targets to destroy or even attempt to steal.

Understand that I specifically asked these brothers to keep it to a single sentence (ahem . . . that's pushing it, Dr. Beale). There is inevitably much that is selectively omitted, so think twice before responding (or commenting) 'How could he not mention anything about ____?!' Little exercises like this are not a replacement of reading the Bible itself in all its contours or big books that trace out the Bible in detail, but a pointer to the Bible and to such books.
In fact, it really is impossible to answer my question. How could you ask, for instance, what the Lord of the Rings is about in a single sentence? It can't be done. You must simply enter in and get swept up in the story. We can all resonate, therefore, with Hugenberger's valid response. Yet while we can agree to eschew simplistic reductionisms, this need not include an eschewing of synthetic summaries. We find such summaries in the Bible itself--psalms summarizing Israel's history, Jesus in Matt 22:40 or Luke 24:25-26, several speeches in Acts, and Paul in Gal 5:14 or 1 Cor 15:3-4 all come to mind.
The point here is to refocus and recenter on the heart of the book that is the greatest earthly treasure to fallen human beings outside of God himself.
Greg Beale:
The OT storyline appears best to be summarized as: the historical story of God who progressively reestablishes his new creational kingdom out of chaos over a sinful people by his word and Spirit through promise, covenant, and redemption, resulting in worldwide commission to the faithful to extend that new creation rule and resulting in judgment for the unfaithful (defeat and exile), all of which issues into his glory; the NT storyline can be summarized as: Jesus' life of covenantal obedience, trials, judgmental death for sinners, and especially resurrection by the Spirit has launched the fulfillment of the eschatological already-and-not-yet promised new creation reign, bestowed by grace through faith and resulting in worldwide commission to the faithful to extend this new creation rule and resulting in judgment for the unfaithful, unto God's glory.Dan Block:
God was so covenantally committed to the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him may have eternal life!Craig Blomberg:
God is in the process of recreating the universe which has been corrupted by sin and has made it possible for all those and only those who follow Jesus to be a part of the magnificent, eternal community that will result.Darrell Bock:
The Bible tells how the loving Creator God restored a lost humanity and cosmos through reestablishing his rule through Jesus Christ and the provision of life to His honor.
God has made promises to bring His people to Himself and He is fulfilling them all through Christ.Kevin DeYoung:
A holy God sends his righteous Son to die for unrighteous sinners so we can be holy and live happily with God forever.Zack Eswine:
Apprenticing with Jesus to become human again.
God glorifies himself in the redemption of sinners.Scott Hafemann:
The Triune God is the beginning, middle, and end of everything, 'for from him (as Creator) and through him (as Sustainer and Redeemer) and to him (as Judge) are all things' (Rom 11:36).David Helm:
Jesus is the promised Savior-King.Paul House:
The movement in history from creation to new creation through the redemptive work of Father, Son, and Spirit who saves and changes corrupted people and places for his glory and their good.Gordon Hugenberger:
The message of the Bible in one sentence is that genuine truth, unlike every human philosophy, is far too luxuriant, too enthralling, too personal, too all-encompassing, too sovereign, and too life-changing to be reducible to one sentence (or, as Einstein once put it, the challenge is to 'make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler').Kent Hughes:
God is redeeming his creation by bringing it under the lordship of Jesus Christ.Andreas Kostenberger:
'God so loved the world that the gave his one and only Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life' (John 3:16).Phil Long:
God, who made us and everything else, loves us and gave himself for us that we might live forever with him as new creatures in a new creation—the news is good!Sean Lucas:
The message of the Bible is the transforming grace of God displayed preeminently in Jesus Christ.Ray Ortlund:
The Lover of our souls won't let the romance die, but is rekindling it forever.Grant Osborne:
God created mankind in order to love them, but we all rejected his love, so God sent His Son to bear our sins on the cross in order that by believing in His sacrificial atonement, we might have life.George Robertson:
The Bible is the record of God's promise of and deliverance through Jesus Christ.Leland Ryken:
The message of the Bible is twofold: to show how people can be saved from their sins through faith in Christ's atonement AND how to live all of life as a follower of God.Tom Schreiner:
God reigns over all things for his glory, but we will only enjoy his saving reign in the new heavens and the new earth if we repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the crucified and risen Lord and who gave himself on the cross for our salvation.Mark Seifrid:
Verbum caro factum est.Jay Sklar:
The first sentence that comes to mind is that of my colleague Michael D. Williams, who describes the Bible's story about the world as follows: God made it, we broke it, Jesus fixes it!Erik Thoennes:
The main message of the Bible is that the one true God is displaying his glory primarily in redeeming and restoring his fallen creation by fulfilling his covenant promises and commands through the glorious person and atoning work of Christ.
Scripture tells us the story of how a Garden is transformed into a Garden City, but only after a dragon had turned that Garden into a howling wilderness, a haunt of owls and jackals, which lasted until an appointed warrior came to slay the dragon, giving up his life in the process, but with his blood effecting the transformation of the wilderness into the Garden City.Bob Yarbrough:
He—God in Christ—shall reign forever and ever; so today if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart but believing the good news take up your cross and follow Jesus.
Very helpful, brothers! Thank you. My response would be something like: Despite ongoing rebellion on our part, the holy God of the universe refuses to leave us to wallow in our sin, eventually and climactically becoming one of us, in the moral mud, to restore us to glory, if we will receive his love in trusting contrition.
I asked a slightly different group of wise brothers last fall a different question.

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Peavey Electronics, a leading manufacturer of audio equipment, is deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA® as the foundation for its deployment of SAP® BusinessObjectsTM business intelligence (BI) solutions running on the SAP HANA platform.The implementation is an update to Peavey's existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which was suffering from growing business demand for more reporting and performance capacity.
The SAP and Red Hat solution will open up our reporting capabilities and enable us to widen our reporting capabilities and the pool of reports that we can provide; it's positive for our IT and it's positive for our business.
One of the world's largest makers and suppliers of musical instruments, amplifiers and professional audio systems, Peavey distributes more than 2,000 products to more than 130 countries. The expansive and distributed nature of Peavey's business put significant demands on the company's existing ERP system – they needed faster scaling, more flexibility and better performance to keep up with the business's global presence.
With the limitations of the existing system in mind, Peavey turned to its long-time partner, 3V Solutions for recommendations.3V, a reseller and integrator of SAP solutions, recommended implementing SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions with SAP HANA. SAP HANA is a powerful in-memory relational database that is designed to handle both high transaction rates and complex query processing, key capabilities for Peavey's operations, running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA. The solution also includes a purpose-built NEC Corporation of America (NEC) appliance for these compute-and memory-intensive applications.
Launched in June 2014, the result of collaborative engineering efforts between SAP and Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA combines the reliability, scalability and performance of the world's leading enterprise Linux platform with technologies optimized to meet the specific requirements of SAP HANA. These include a series of high-availability features that use Intel Machine Check Architecture to mitigate hardware-level errors on application performance and stability.
With the deployment underway, the Peavey team expects that the new Red Hat, SAP and NEC solution will help the company realize:
High availability with reduced capital costs, with the hardware reductions alone expected to save Peavey 54 percent of their original expense.
Improved processing performance, with faster response times without rewriting existing reports and queries.
More insight for more users, including those on mobile devices and a removal of the processing constraints that have limited Peavey's ability to deliver new business analytics.
With the business intelligence solution built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA, Peavey intends to bring new capabilities online in the future, including data mining and predictive analytics.The company also hopes that the new system will eventually provide the nucleus for a disaster recovery center, bringing redundancy and 24x7 availability for Peavey's worldwide representatives in the event of a disaster.

Robert Muirhead, manager, ERP Applications, Peavey Electronics
"With our old business intelligence system, it could take 15 minutes or more to get reports critical to our daily operations, and our teams were spending hours each day to create and format this data.The SAP and Red Hat solution will open up our reporting capabilities and enable us to widen our reporting capabilities and the pool of reports that we can provide; it's positive for our IT and it's positive for our business."
Chris Hallenbeck, global vice president, Platform Solutions, SAP
"Peavey Electronics' decision to have SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions running on SAP HANA represents a significant leap forward, enabling the company to provide the right information at the right time to the right decision-makers.
