I had a lulu of a dream last
night and it was all about ships
and the sea so I think I'll write
about ships to-day. They have fi-nally
sold the former French Lin-er,
the Normandie, for 160 thous-and
dollars. After all the books
were balanced the Navy had fin-ished
up with something like
twenty-four million dollars in the
red on the deal.
. . . But the English are doing
pretty good with their ships. The
"Lizzie," as the American G. I.
called the Liner Queen Elizabeth,
has left for its inaugral trip as a
civilian carrying ship. And as a
memory to the G. I.'s that travel-ed
on her, they have permanently
preserved the thousands of initials
carved into the "Lizzie's" railings.
Maybe they did that to drum up
some business from the former
vets that traveled in her . . . .

The day for which most of Beth-el's
men have long waited is here.
The two top floors of the new
men's dormitory are ready and the
occupants are now in. Although
everything is not in perfect shape,
the dorm is a definite advance
over Hotel El Barno where the
men have spent • the past two
months in crowded, uncomfortable,
underheated conditions.
About thirty men who are wait-ing
for the first floor, which. is as
yet incomplete, are now residing
in the lecture hall in the base-ment
of the Seminary building.
Even though the conditions are
still crowded and the facilities in-adequate,
this is somewhat more
comfortable than El Barno since ,
it is heated. The first floor of the
dormitory is expected to be finish-ed
in about two weeks.

Cliquing Not Dean Carlson
Wanted Here Clarifies Issue
Are you a member of a clique
here at Bethel? Oh, you say, there
aren't any cliques at Bethel! But
do you know what a clique is?
Noah Webster says a clique is a
"small and exclusive set of per-sons."
When you go to eat at the cafe-teria
do you always go with the
same people and all sit at the
same table? Or, if someone from
outside of your group sits- at your
table do you leave him out of your
conversation? If you're in the cof-fee
shop do you sit with the same
bunch—never offering a stranger
a place? How about when you're
riding on a streetcar—if you see
someone from Bethel, do you go
and speak to him or do you refrain
from doing so because you don't
go around with his clique? Should
there be such a difference be-tween
the Freshmen and the Soph-omores?
Why are the same few in
everything while the rest have to
take a backseat when they per-haps
have just as much talent?
How are we ever going to get to
know one another if we have our
separate cliques?
Most of us came to Bethel be-cane
we wanted to study under
Christian professors, have many
Christian friends, and to prepare
ourselves for future Christian serv-ice.
Some of us were quite dis-couraged
however when we found
that unless we pushed ourselves
Cu ward we were left with only
our roomate as our friend. It
seems that we should all have
something in common which
should make it easier to become
friends. Let's be more friendly.
How about doing away with these
cliques so we can all get to know
each other?

T h e following statement h a s
been issued by Dean C. E. Carlson
in explanation of his remarks on
education, part of which w ere
quoted in the columns of the last
issue of THE CLARION:
"It would appear from the digest
in THE CLARION that I made
statements whicfi- were derogatory
of Theological Schools. Such was
neither the content nor the inten-tion
of the discussion. The dis-cussion
arose in response to a
question by a student who was
having difficulty in seeing the sig-nificance
or value of a college
background for Seminary studies.
I tried to help him, and the others
in the group, see the importance
of general education as a back-ground
for specialized studies
such as engineering, medicine, and
theology. I objected to the "tun-nel-
visioned" view of education
which seeks the shortest possible
path to the objective, and I urged
our ministerial students to view
their college training as a vital
part of their training for the min-istry
and not just an obstacle to
be overcome. I also indicated that
the values of broad studies are be-ing
increasingly recognized by pro-fessional
schools generally, a n d
cited the new curriculum • of the
University of Minnesota Institute
of Technology. I am confident
that the whole Seminary Staff is
heartily in accord with the entire
content of the discussion."
Greetings from home were
brought back to Upper Michigan
students by Dean C. E. Carlson,
who was the guest-speaker at the
Upper Michigan Conference meet-ings
at Gladstone on October 19th
and 20th.

Cooperation In
Library Needed
On the average most students
that go to college have to study
fairly hard to keep up their grad
es. In pre-war days housing was
such that everyone usually had a
quiet room in which to study.
Things have changed. At Beth
el College, for the men especially,
there is but one place designated
and suitable for study, the libra-ry.
Due to the selfish desires o'
some students to use it for a
place of chinwagging and Tom-foolery
like children in the 3rd
grade, the library has become use-less
as a place of study.
Don't forget, some fellows here
have had enough fooling around.
They want to settle down and
have some genuine education on
which to anchor their future life
The Coffee Shop is perfect for
talking. If you like throwing
things around, there's plenty of
room in the gym.
Let Bethel's Library and those
who depend on it have what they
deserve, quiet.
Rees Speaks aL,
Bethel Meetings
'F li a t Pentecost might come
down to Bethel was the prayer of
Dr. Paul Rees as he conducted the
final meeting of the Deeper Life
Week that had been held under
the auspices of theReligious Coun-cil.
Dr. Rees had given a series
of messages during the week on
the general theme of "The Power
of God in the hearts of men."
"Power will only come with the
breaking of self," declared t h e
speaker, summarizing his theme.
"Only at the point at which we are
broken in self-reliance and self-sufficiency
do we become the in-struments
of power. It is the
humble who are exalted and the
weak who are made strong. Am-bition
should be nailed to the
How often do we try to fathom
out feelings and happenings and
just get no where. It seems im-possible
at times to come to a
satisfactory conclusion. We stum-ble
along in our own way and
might never find the truth we are
hunting for. At times we turn to
others for help and very little is
given. Others can't feel the help-lessness
and confusion that is ours.
Our problem may be small but
seems so large. It may concern
deep and personal problems that
may mean a bright and happy fu-ture
or a dull and lifeless one.
There is a remedy for all this
if we but look. How obvious it is
and how little use we make of it.
"What is the remedy?" you ask.
Simply this, God's own work as
found in the Holy Bible. There
you'll find an answer to all of your
problems. There's always an ans-wer
even if it is only seemingly
simple advice. The answer I found
in one instance was one of great
truth and I'll always remember it.
It is found in Proverbs the third
chapter and the fifth verse. "Trust
in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not on thine own under-standing."
If we but remember
this short verse and heed its ad-vice,
truly our understanding will
grow and our lives will be made
William 0. Lindroth II
Cross, for it is better to be a stut-terer
for Christ than the most elo-quent
of preachers."
Dr. Rees spoke daily at the Cha-pel
session and at the final even-ing
meeting. Other evening speak-ers
during the week included Dr.
H. Shefler, the Rev. L. E. Peter-sen,
of St. Paul Central Baptist
Church and the Rev. J. G. John-son,
of Elim Baptist Church, Minn-eapolis.

Big Homecoming
Football Game
Ends in 0-0 Tie
The big football game between
t h e Freshmen a n d Sophomores
came to a 0 0 tie in the opener of
a twin bill on Homecoming day.
The weather man was fair to
the Bethel Homecoming crowd by
letting up on a morning rain by
game time. The field behind the
main college building was decked
out with red and white. On the
eastern side of the field the Fresh-men
mustered a cheering section,
lead by four colorful cheer lead-ers.
The Sophomores were led by
three colorful cheer leaders from
the western side of the field.
Regulations were altered a bit
from the regular game. The field
measured 90 yards in length with
the usual width. A first down
was for 18 yards with every 18th
yard stripe marked with chalk.
At game time, 2:00 P. M., the
field was a bit slick, the air a
little cool but a perfect setting
for a Homecoming football game.

The account by quarters ;
First quarter,
The first quarter was high-ligh-ted
by tYpo fumbles, recovered in
each c a- s e by Schultz for the
Freshmen. This put the Sopho-mores
in the hole and the Fresh-men
in a scoring position. Each
time with their backs to the wall
the Sophs held and the Freshmen
attack bogged down leaving them
with a fourth down ball.
Second quarter;
The second, from the start was
filled with power plays. Good
blocking and good passing help-ed
each team to get under way
and move right up, but always
short of that touchdown.
At half time the Homecoming
Host and Hostess made their de-but
accompanied by the band.
Third quarter;
After halftime ceremonies, the
teams came back on the field and
kicked off. A Freshmen pass in-terception,
intended for a Sopho-more
receiver, on their own goal
1.i n e, w a s immediately downed.
The Freshmen almost did not get
out of this hole but booted out
after a try and a penalty. Fresh-men
passes clicked for three con-secutive
first downs then bogged
down again at the goal line, as
the quarter ended.

It is important that they be sub-mitted

need of an enlarged curriculum
and the future is a matter for
much prayer. -
"We have come to the point,"
the Dean declared, "at which we
must make decisions as to the
future policy. We are standing at
the cross-roads and must decide
which way to go. Our plant, our

by a Freshmen interception. The
game ended at mid-field with the
Sophomores in possession of the
ball, score still 0-0.
The game had a lot of helpful
substitution on both sides.
The winner of this game was
to play the alumni in the nite-cap
of the twin bill. Since there was
no winner, the teams split, the
Freshmen taking the first half
and the Sophomores the second
half against the alumni.
The alumni were a more aggres-sive
aggregation, pushing across a
touchdown in each of their first
t IV 0 quarters. • T h e touchdowns
were both made on passes. Gust-afson
pitched both touchdowns,
the first a long one to Anderson
who raced over and the second to
Sahlin, a short bullet pass into
the end zone. The second half the
alumni settled down to a defen-sive
game, though they threatened

held their lead to 12-0.

Bethel "Varsity" Drubs the Alumni
The Bethel varsity made their first striking victory by wearing
down a fighting alumni team Friday night at the varsity-alumni basket-ball
game. Gene Nyman of the alumni five was the recipient of the
opening tip-off, but Bob Sandin recovered it for the varsity and made
a snappy pass to Everet Johnson, who sank the first and second baskets
of the season. Shortly after Kenneth Greenman took advantage of an
opportune moment and made a beautiful field goal, which put the varsity
in the lead 6-0 in the first few minutes of the game.
The first score for the alumni was made by Del Peterson. Coach
Adams scored the next two points for their side by sinking a nice back
hand shot. The alumni at this stage of the game jammed up the scor-ing
plays for the varsity by sending around some neat passes but in
sheet order Kenny Greenman retrieved the ball and made a sharp! shot
tieing the score at the end of the first quarter.
Substitutions were in order for
the beginning of the second quar-ter
and both sides started with al-most
a complete new line up. A
free shot made by Willie Wessman
in the very start put the alumni
up another notch. In the next few
minutes a number of fouls were
made and some changes were put
in effect on the score by good free
throws. Skoog broke this up by
making a keen play in the basket
and as a follow-up Hamlin drop-ed
a neat shot through the ring.
The Bethel varsity fellows really
kept on the beam from there on
in and some classy shots were
made by Starr, Hamlin and Skoog
bringing the score up to 26-10 at
the half in favor of varsity.
The last half of tee game proved
not as exciting as the first be-cause
the varsity kept their, lead
and kept adding to the score two
points at a time mighty fast. It
was in the third quarter that Ken-ney
Greenman came in with his
little dip shot from under the bas-ket
and put another two points to
their credit.
The alumni really changed their
record by adding a few digits to
their score in the fourth quarter
but they did not out-do the varsity
because Kenny Carlson, Engstrom,
Hamlin and Carlson saw to it that
the varsity number kept on rising
by throwing some perky Allots
through the circle. The last shot
made by Gene Nyman for the
alumni brought the final score to
48-28. Kenny Greenman was high
point man for varsity and Coach .

This over-the-top, ultraviolent, hyperkinetic action thriller pretty much has it all.
Read Full Review
The thrilling stunts and hyperkinetic action scenes are the undisputed stars of this surprisingly entertaining film.
Before Wanted reaches the end of its wild course, the violence that's been nothing but oppressive becomes genuinely if perversely impressive; the ritual carnage becomes balletic carnage (railroad cars included); the Walter Mitty-esque hero, Wesley, played by James McAvoy becomes a formidable enforcer of summary justice, and Mr. McAvoy, most memorably the young doctor in "The Last King of Scotland," becomes a certified star.
Best of all, there's a lot of Jolie, barrels blazing. The star's fearlessly sexy hauteur is unique in the biz today. And when she works it in Wanted, she kills, bullets optional.
The way to enjoy this film is to put your logic on hold, along with any higher sensitivities that might be vulnerable and immerse yourself as if in a video game.

Iffy for 17+
Explosive action film is extremely violent.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this over-the-top action film -- which stars Angelina Jolie and is based on a series of comic books, both of which will up its appeal with teens -- is loaded with extraordinarily explicit, extensive, stylized violence, including lots of bloody shootings, beatings, and more (blood and brain matter splatter are shown). The movie's style owes a debt to The Matrix, but it's much more graphic than that sci-fi epic. The film also suggests that the central character's transformation from corporate cog to killing machine is a positive thing to be admired. Also expect lots of swearing, some cigar smoking, and some pretty passionate scenes (including male and female rear nudity).
Messages: The film revolves around a secret society of assassins who kill on the orders of a mystical "Loom of Fate" the group's ideology is based on the idea of "Kill one, save a thousand" -- i.e. eliminating people based on the hypothetical ramifications of their unknown future acts. Lead character Wesley vents many of the frustrations of the modern cubicle-dwelling office laborer, questioning the choice between tedious, anonymous conformity or exciting, violent transgression. The fact that he ends up going with the latter is presented as a positive choice.
Violence: Extensive, graphic, and bloody violence, including (but not limited to) lots of shootings (shown in great detail, with blood splatter and visible brain matter, and often reversed on screen and shown again for cinematic effect), stabbings, slashings (including blood and extensive tissue damage), beatings (including broken bones, shattered flesh and extensive blood), people being burned alive, dead bodies used for target practice, a shooting victim used as a human shield (with a firearm poked through what's left of the head), assassinations, rats used as delivery platforms for plastic explosives, a violent train wreck, car crashes, and a graphic murder/suicide.
Sex: Intense semi-clothed sexual activity; male and female rear nudity; discussions of condoms and "the morning-after pill." Crude discussions of sex. Characters have an affair.
Language: Language includes very frequent uses of "f--k," "f--king," "motherf---er," "a--hole," "s--t," "p---y," "horses--t," "whore," and more.
Consumerism: Brands seen on screen include Captain Crunch, Cheerios, Snickers, Power Horse Energy Drink, Capital One, Google, and more.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some cigar smoking; a character has a prescription for anti-anxiety drugs; some discussion of the "morning-after pill."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The media in Israel these days is less concerned about nuclear proliferation and longrange missiles in Iran than about the widening gap among Jews, religious and secular, Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox.
"What brand of Judaism is the most Jewish?" Religious sects, no matter how small, claim to embody the true faith,
while secular Jews have their own version of the truth.
The issue grabbed national attention when women's groups decided to defy segregation on buses in ultra-Orthodox
neighborhoods. One Israeli woman who refused to sit on the back of the bus, away from the men, was cursed, roughed up and called a shiksa (Gentile). Then an eight-year-old Orthodox girl in the city of Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem was cursed by ultra-Orthodox men because of "immodest" dress and called a "whore."
These incidents have led to criticism from foreign leaders and at least one pro-Israel Christian group ending its financial support of Israel.
But Orthodox Jews tell Israel Today that while Israel is in a state of religious upheaval, it is being misrepresented and misinterpreted by the foreign media.

Groups oppose top climate scientists' call to embrace nuclear power
More than 300 groups are rejecting calls from top climate scientists to embrace nuclear power to fight climate change since renewables cannot be deployed fast enough.
Environmental and anti-nuclear groups from the United States and 22 other countries told former NASA scientist and activist James Hansen and three other scientists who have alerted the public to the dangers of climate change in recent years that nuclear power is too dangerous and relies too heavily on federal subsidies.
The groups, spearheaded by the Civil Society Institute and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, also called for a global phasing out of nuclear power and said wind and solar deployment, in the United States in particular, is far outpacing the development and construction of new reactors. The Civil Society Institute is an advocacy group focused on clean energy issues and climate change, and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service is a Maryland-based anti-nuclear activist group.
"Instead of embracing nuclear power, we request that you join us in supporting an electric grid dominated by energy efficiency, renewable, distributed power and storage technologies," the groups wrote in the letter Monday. "We ask you to join us in supporting the phase-out of nuclear power as Germany and other countries are pursuing."
The letter was signed by a number of groups opposed to fossil fuels and uranium mining, including the Coal River Mountain Watch and Utah-based Uranium Watch, as well as pro-renewables, social and religious organizations.
Signatories also included anti-nuclear and pro-renewables groups in Japan, a country still reeling from a 2011 earthquake and tsunami that triggered a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
Hansen joined Ken Caldeira, a senior scientist at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Kerry Emanuel, a prominent hurricane researcher; and Tom Wigley, a senior research associate at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, last year in calling on "those influencing environmental policy but opposed to nuclear power" to embrace nuclear power (E&ENews PM, Nov. 4, 2013).
The scientists said renewables cannot scale up fast enough to "deliver cheap and reliable power at the scale the global economy requires" and that there is no credible path to climate stabilization that does not include a substantial role for nuclear power.
But the groups dismissed those claims and said "advanced" nuclear designs endorsed by the scientists "are mere blueprints without realistic hope, in the near term, if ever, to be commercialized." The United States, on the other hand, has deployed tens of thousands of megawatts of wind and solar with only minimal new construction in the nuclear sector, according to the letter.
Other science-based groups that did not sign the letter have also questioned nuclear's near-term role in tackling climate change, but without suggesting a global phaseout.
Steve Clemmer, director of energy research and analysis at the Union of Concerned Scientists, noted in a blog post last year that the cost of nuclear power continues to be high while the prices of wind and solar systems drop.
Whereas nuclear additions are limited, the United States broke records in 2012 after installing more than 13 gigawatts of wind and 3.2 GW of solar photovoltaic, Clemmer wrote.

Wprowadzenie do Zend Framework
Nauka Zend Framework
Przewodnik po Zend Framework
Spis treści
Zend_TimeSync is able to receive internet or network time from a time
server using the NTP or SNTP protocol.
Zend_TimeSync, Zend Framework is able to act independently from
the time settings of the server where it is running.
To be independent from the actual time of the server,
works with the difference of the real time which is sent through NTP or SNTP and the
internal server's time.
So why would someone use
Zend_TimeSync ?
Normally every server within a multi-server farm will have a service running which
synchronizes its own time with a time server. So within a standard environment it should
not be necessary to use
Zend_TimeSync. But it can become handy if
there is no service available and if you don't have the right to install such a service.
Here are some example use cases, for which
Zend_TimeSync is
perfect suited:
Server without time service
If your application is running on a server and this server does not have any
time service running, it may make sense to use
Zend_TimeSync in your application.
Separate database server
If your database is running on a different server and this server is not connected with NTP or SNTP to the application server, you might have problems using storing and using time stamp data.
Multiple servers
If your application is running on more than one server and these servers' time bases are not syncronized, you can expect problems within your application when part of the application is coming from one server and another part from another server.
Batch processing
If you want to work with a time service within a batch file or within a
command line application,
Zend_TimeSync may be of use.
Zend_TimeSync may provide a good solution in all of these cases
and can be used if you are unable to run any services on your server.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing multiple systems' clocks over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. NTP uses UDP port 123 as its transport layer. See the wikipedia article for details about this protocol.
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a protocol synchronizing multiple systems' clocks over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. SNTP uses UDP port 37 as its transport layer. It is closely related to the Network Time Protocol, but simpler.
Be warned that when you are using
Zend_TimeSync you will have to
think about some details related to the structure of time sync and the internet itself.
Correct usage and best practices will be described here. Read carefully before you begin
You should select the time server that you want to use very carefully according to the following criteria:
The distance from your application server to the time server. If your server is in Europe, it would make little sense to select a time server in Tahiti. Always select a server which is not far away. This reduces the request time and overall network load.
How long it takes to receive the request is also relevant. Try different servers to get the best result. If you are requesting a server which is never accessible, you will always have an unnecessary delay.
Do not always use the same server. All time servers will lock out requests from servers that are flooding the server. If your application requires heavy use of time servers, you should consider one of the pools described later.
So where can you find a time server? Generally you can use any timeserver you can connect to. This can be a time server within your LAN or any public time server you have access to. If you decide to use a public time server, you should consider using a server pool. Server pools are public addresses from which you will get a random, pooled time server by requesting the time. This way you will not have to split your requests. There are public server pools available for many regions which you may use to avoid problems mentioned above.
See pool.ntp.org to find your nearest server pool. For example, if your server is located within Germany you can connect to 0.europe.pool.ntp.org.

I've figured out how to do it, but this jackling with resistors to get what I want is ridiculous. None of the local stores have any type of potentiometer. Where can I order some in the 50k and 100k variety. I need some more micro-grabbers too, so it would be nice to order both together.

Yes we have returned, again taking over another important system in less time then it took us to bounce from server to server to cover our tracks to get to it. The "Tianjin Network of Information of Science & Technology" a site run by the Chinese Government is what this site was. It dictates what can be seen and heard by a countless number of people in China. It makes up the rules and regulations on how and when it censors it's ownpeople and when what they say and think are in violation of the law.
A place where information is freely discussed is a place where people can form their own opinions. The Chinese government wants to censor their own people and shield them from outside sources of information. The more information people, the more choices they have, the more choices they have, the more freedom they have. This is why the decrepit old men who run China now wish to limit the information the Chinese people see, because they want their people to have only one choice, the one they are given, therefore taking away their freedom. Information is neither good or evil, it is what we do with it that gives it it's power.
People will tell you, you're gonna lose...
People will tell you it's no use...
People will tell you whatever you're going to listen to...
A few days ago
a story ran about a man, Lin Hai, who was arrested in China and faces LIFE in a Chinese prison
. What did he do, kill another man? Rape? Steal? Treason? No, he is accused of sending e-mails to a dissident publication ran in the USA, some of which criticize the present Chinese leadership. Life in prison. The Chinese government is scared to death of the Internet and the ease anyone can access information, and the ease it's people, like Lin Hai, can communicate with the outside world and how they can now express what they think.
This censorship, which is being aided by a US company, SUN Microsystems, who is providing 90% of the computer systems used in China for it's Internet services, is still growing. They set up SUN firewalls to block sites that people inside China might want to see which freely disperse information, such as ordinary online news papers and search engines.
So in addition to this site being defaced, several Chinese firewalls have also been breached and have been misconfigured to allow anyone passing through it
to any site they wish. I leave it up to the Chinese to find which and fix them, but in the meantime, I hope some of Chinas citizens enjoy the freedom to see what the want, and say what they want to say.
I am not asking for anyone to do anything, but to rather do nothing. Do nothing to support the government who now sits in Beijing. Do not support their most favored trading status, no not support their economy by buying items that, we now know, are made my slave labor in prisons, and do not support the companies who are supporting and dealing with this government as well.
Most people do not know who Kevin Mitnick is outside of the underground circles, the law professionals dealing with the case and money hungry reporters. He has been in jail for over 3 years without a trial. He has been held longer then people who rape, steal and assault others. He did nothing violent, he didn't carry a gun or make
death threats against anyone. He was a 'hacker'. Support his cause against an outrages unjust prosecution. Help him at least get his right to a FAIR trial by his peers, and not get rail roaded by a system that wants to use him as an example.
I know to the delight of the Chinese, this will be the last time I take a trip across cyberspace to their land. It will be the last time I connect to their systems for any reason. For those who were opposed to my last penetration saying I was censoring the censors, I say it's their turn. Besides they only spew disinformation and lies in any case.

My parents are in their early 60s and as their 32 year old son I am completely involved in their finances. Within the last year I found out that when my dad was still working he put 500k in variable annuities and 200k in closed REIT funds. Both of these "investments" have lost substantial value. My dad also loaned his older brother around 10k maybe 10 years ago. His brother died, and his wife has said she cannot afford to repay the loan.Rodc wrote:bold addeddm200 wrote:The decision of an adult child to intervene, advise, interfere with, etc. a parent's financial decisions and choices can often be very difficult. On the one hand, the parent should be able to make the choices he/she wants. On the other hand, scams, elder abuse and failing faculties enter in. A few years ago, my father "lent" significant sums to an acquaintance over a period of several years. Eventually, especially as my father started to slip a bit, my brother became aware of this and intervened. Due to my brother's persistence, it turned out ok. In this process, though, it was discovered that this acquaintance and the money was involved with a relative of his who was a known crook.
How does this apply (also mentioned by another poster).
She is in her 50s, not 80's or 90's.
These were all missteps due to my parents lack of money knowledge. I do not critique their day to day spending or anything similar, but my mom knows that if there is a big purchase or something she wants to change, she talks to me first.

In honor of the Easter holiday, here are a few very interesting excerpts from one of the most in-depth books on the subject, Easter: Its Story and Meaning by Alan Watts.
According to the story, Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross on a hill called Golgotha, "the Place of the Skull" [where Adam's head is supposed to have been buried, so Jesus is the Second Adam, "Fruit of the Tree"]. Legend tells that the wood of this cross had a strange history…
It is said that after Adam and Eve had been expelled from the Garden of Eden, one of the sons of Adam, named Seth, had managed to obtain a cutting from the fatal Tree of Knowledge whose fruit had opened his parents' hearts to evil. Some versions of the legend say, however, that the branch was from the Tree of Life, which also stood in the Garden. From this branch a staff was made, a staff handed down from generation to generation among the ancient Hebrew patriarchs. This was the staff which Moses turned into a serpent before the Egyptian king, the staff with which he opened the passage in the Red Sea, and struck the rock in the wilderness so that it gave forth water. And when the Hebrews, escaped from Egypt, were plagued by snakes in the desert, this was the staff on which Moses hung a serpent of bronze that all who gazed upon it should be healed of the plague. This, too was the staff of the shepherd Jesse, the father of David, which miraculously blossomed as a sign that his son should be king. After many adventures, the staff came at last into the hands of Joseph, husband of Mary. By his son, James, it was given to Judas Iscariot, and by him to those who used it to fashion the Cross of Christ. "The tree," wrote St. Augustine, "which had brought about the fall and the loss of Paradise, shall be the instrument of redemption."
Such is the legend of the Holy Rood, or Rod, of the Tree which bears both the fruit of death and the fruit of life and around which has been formed one of the most fascinating collections of Christian symbolism. Associated with the Tree are two serpents, the serpent of poison and the serpent of healing. The one is Lucifer, the Devil, who tempted Eve to eat the fruit of Knowledge. The other is Moses' serpent of bronze which healed the plague, and which Christ used as a symbol of himself. To this day, the bishops of the Eastern Orthodox Church carry a pastoral staff shaped not, as in the Western Church, like a shepherd's crook, but like the Caduceus, the rod entwined with two serpents–emblem, also, of the art of healing.
During the Christian rites of Holy Week leading up to Easter, hymns to the Tree of Life are sung by choirs on Good Friday in which the ancient myths [such as the pine of Attis and the tamarisk of Osiris] find their fulfillment:
"Faithful Cross, above all other
One and only noble Tree;
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be."
"O Tree of beauty, Tree of light,
O Tree with royal purple dight,
Elect on whose triumphed breast
Those holy limbs should find their rest"
During the Easter Sunday rites, before lighting the Paschal Candle, the deacon sings of the mystery of the light which comes out of darkness:
"Now is come the night whereof David said: Behold the night is as clear as the day: then shall my night be turned into day…" [and later he calls upon God to "be present at these Mysteries…"]
–words that take us back to the Mysteries of Demeter at Eleusis [the "Mysteries" were the ancient equivalent of churches], where the night upon which the initiation was completed was called "the holy night, clearer than the light of the sun." So, too, the initiate of the Mysteries of Osiris said, "About midnight I saw the sun brightly shine."
…It is the descent of the Spiritual Sun into the Material Waters for the creation of the universe.
The various rites of Tammuz, Adonis, Kore, Dionysus, and many others [existing hundreds of years before Christianity], had as many basic elements in common as their respective myths. Some of them were celebrated at the Spring Equinox… but their universal theme–the drama of death and resurrection–make them the first "Easter services." Many of the Christian customs and ceremonies resemble these former rites.
Obviously the rites of Easter have some connection with mankind's perennial joy in the renewal of the earth's life at springtime. But this is a very dim and partial glimpse of the truth behind the symbols. … Easter–by whatever name it may be known–is a theme common to almost every religion and every people. … It is the theme that through death men can enter an eternal life. Sometimes the "death" in question is a physical death. But at other times it is, and has long been, understood as a "psychic death"–that is, as self-denial, self-sacrifice, or self-forgetting, while in the midst of life. … It is nearly always a story rather than a doctrine or idea.
Two points stand out clearly in the story:
One is that the new life which the risen Savior brings to man is not just ordinary, biological life alone. This is true whether the Savior be Christ or Osiris. The gift of Easter is not mortal life, but eternal life, spiritual life. [Now, not after you physically die.]
The second point is that the bestowal of this gift is the fruit of death. Die and come to life–this is the essence of the story. It is like learning to float on water. So long as you tense your muscles and try to hold your body upon the surface, you sink. But as soon as you try to sink, you relax and float. It sounds crazy, but it works. In the famous language of the Gospel: "Whosoever would save his soul shall lose it, but he that loses [we might say, looses] his soul shall find it." "Die and come to life." "The first shall be last, and the last first." "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." "Except a grain of corn fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it brings forth much fruit."
This is what Easter is saying: the source of life–not ordinary life alone, but eternal life–is death itself. The source of supreme joy is something which, at first sight, seems to be utter despair.
Easter is the celebration of a triumph. For the passage from Good Friday to Easter Day is the passage from the full acceptance of death to the dawn of real life. This is no mere expectancy, but a vision enjoyed here and now, a vision which accounts for the self-denying charity of the saint and the fearless joy of the martyr. … The condition of eternal life is that incessant "dying to oneself" which is called love."
If there is one symbol in which the whole meaning and mystery of Easter may be summed up, it is water. From the spring rains to the Baptismal Font, from the waters of chaos in which the world began to the water of eternal life flowing from the throne of God, this symbol lies uppermost in the pagan [pre-Christian] and Christian Easters alike. It takes precedence over the egg, the lily, the lamb, the peacock-phoenix, and even the hallowed fire.
Resisting it, one sinks; giving in to it, one floats. Like the Lamb of God led to the slaughter, it resists neither nails nor blows, yet they have no power to harm it.
It is said that Odin, the Norse supreme God-All-Father, learned the secrets of divination by spearing himself to the tree at the center of the world in a sort of crucifixion.
"I know that I hung
On a wind-rocked tree
Nine whole nights
With a spear wounded,
And to Odin offered
Myself to myself;
On that tree
Of which no one knows
From what root it springs."
* A comment by Robert A. Johnson on the image above ("The Tree of Life and Death" by Berthold Furtmeyer, 1481):
"The psyche keeps its equilibrium as accurately as the body balances its temperature, its acid-alkaline ratio, and the many other fine polarities. We take these physical balances for granted but rarely do we recognize their psychological parallels."
"A medieval illuminated manuscript [pictured] gives us this information in vivid form. Here a stylized tree of knowledge, with its golden fruit, rises up from Adam's naval. Adam is looking a little sleepy as if he does not entirely comprehend what he has produced. Two women stand beside the tree. The Virgin Mary is on the left, clothed as a nun, picking fruit from the tree and handing it out to a long line of penitents for their salvation. Eve, naked, stands on the right, picking fruit from the same tree, handing it out to a long line of people for their damnation. Here is vivid commentary on a single tree giving out a dual product. What a strange tree! Whenever we pluck the fruit of creativity from the golden tree our other hand plucks the fruit of destruction. Our resistance to this insight is very high! We would love to have creativity without destruction, but that is not possible. … The balance… the center point, is the whole (holy) place."

On January 19 and 20, U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin is convening a briefing and press conference to announce the Call to Action for Breastfeeding. Best for Babes co-founders Danielle Rigg and Bettina Forbes have been invited to attend this briefing and press conference as new members of the United States Breastfeeding Committee, and have been advanced as specialists on moms, the Booby Traps they face, and how to help them achieve their personal goals. We aim to share our point of view with the Surgeon General and the media that the key to unlocking this stubborn problem is by focusing on eradicating the cultural and institutional barriers that actively prevent moms from succeeding, not simply educating about the benefits. We are prepared to outline our plan of shifting the pressure OFF moms and on to the Booby Traps by aligning the business, non-profit, government, celebrity and citizen sectors behind a cohesive game plan that markets breastfeeding as mainstream and rebuilds the shattered breastfeeding infrastructure. We will share our intention to build the mother of all causes and rally the masses, whether they breastfed, or not, were breastfed or not, behind this public health crisis that affects all of us. We will talk about our specific strategy to harness the power of moms to bring about positive, constructive change so that our daughters, sisters and friends do not have to suffer as we did.
We need your stories and your voice. We have specifically been advised that the media will want to hear about real moms and real stories. If you have been booby-trapped by your physician, hospital, health care professional, health care provider, insurance company, employer, restaurant, airport, school etc. and by the lack of public acceptance of breastfeeding, now is your chance! Please leave your story below so we can direct the media. Our goal is to have 100 stories by Tuesday, January 18th. If we have a thousand, we'd be even happier! There are millions of moms who have been booby-trapped from wanting to breastfeed, trying to breastfeed, or achieving their breastfeeding goals. Read our list of Booby Traps to refresh your memory . . . and feel free to speak to booby traps that we have missed.
All we ask is that you keep your story personal, and that only moms who gave birth or breastfed in the US participate. Please share this page with your friends and colleagues. It is individual stories that inspire and motivate and bring about change, and the American public needs to hear about the profound struggles and suffering by moms and babies who are being thwarted by a gauntlet of barriers daily. The media, the Surgeon General and key stakeholders need to hear the degree to which moms are being pressured to breastfeed but set up to fail.
The floor is yours!

Hi Nora ~~ I like this Movie Cop post although Bruce Willis is the only one I know or could recognize.
I am more familiar with TV Cops. My favorites are 'Mr. Monk,' 'Castle' and his side kick 'Beckett,' and then the old 'Rick Hunter' and his side kick 'Dee Dee' (my ex was De De).
I have a Hunter striped shirt and I always leave the name "Hunter" when I'm to be paged like at a restaurant.

I like the cop/crime movies that dwell on the emotional (or non emotional) turmoil of the individual. Like the classis 1968 and 1971 films Bullitt or Dirty Harry. Those characters seem to feel beleaguered and cannot escape the criminal world - unlucky pedestrians in a job they'd have never chosen but seems to have been thrust onto them. Stoic and enraged and sentimental all rolled up into one law enforcer.,.

Food-Allergy Bullying
Here's how to protect your child from harassment related to food allergies.
For little Thomas, 2nd grade should have been the year of learning about dinosaurs, outer space and multiplication. Instead, 2nd grade quickly turned into a year of horrors. Two boys bullied the happy, blonde boy who loves baseball, swimming and football—repeatedly kicking him, punching him and calling him names. The teacher was on medical leave for the entire year, so a series of long-term subs came in and out of his Virginia classroom.
A few months into the year, any sense of classroom control was long gone, as was any adherence to Thomas' Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP) set up because of his multiple food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, wheat and milk. His mother, Eleanor Garrow, vice president of education and outreach at the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), asked for her son to be transferred to another class but she was consistently denied. The bullying got worse.
"They would hit him and call him names," Garrow says. "They also bullied him because of his food allergies, where they chased him on the playground with pebble rocks and said they were peanuts and were going to smear them all over his face. They took his medicine bag from him, because he carries his own epinephrine auto-injector, and has since kindergarten. They took his lunch bag from him, even though that's the only food he can eat."
In March, an intolerable situation turned even more dangerous. One of the bullies took peanut butter and smeared it on Thomas' neck in the lunchroom, thinking it was funny. Knowing that one bite of peanut butter could kill him, Thomas sprang into action.
Garrow recalls: "He said, 'Mommy, Mommy, I'm so proud of myself. I ran to the bathroom and washed my neck off with soap and water with a paper towel, so I didn't actually touch it. Then I washed my hands with soap and water, so I didn't have anything on my hands.'
"I said, 'Honey, I'm so proud of you, but you should never have had to do that,'" Garrow says. "Why did my son go to the bathroom alone? Why wasn't he monitored? What if something had happened to him, where he accidentally swiped his lips, ingested some peanut butter and then developed anaphylaxis?"

Hyderabad: A special CBI court here Thursday extended till February 14, the judicial remand of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and other accused in connection with the case of alleged disproportionate assets involving him.
Jagan, along with other accused including former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao, industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad and senior bureaucrat K V Brahmananda Reddy (all accused in Vanpic aspect of Jagan assets case), who are currently lodged in Chanchalguda Central Prison, were produced before the court through video-conferencing after which their judicial custody was extended by another 14 days.
Andhra Pradesh Roads and Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, who is also an accused in the case appeared before the special CBI court.
The court had earlier on January 21 had taken cognisance of offences under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act to prosecute Dharmana and Mopidevi.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court on January 24 dismissed Jagan`s regular bail petition. The High Court had observed that his bail plea was not maintainable before it as the Supreme Court had earlier clearly said that the Kadapa MP should move his bail plea only after the CBI which is investigating into the case filed its final charge sheet.
Jagan was arrested on May 27 this year by CBI on corruption charges.
The court also extended the judicial remand of former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy, his brother-in-law B V Srinivas Reddy, and another accused Mehfuz Ali Khan in the illegal mining case involving Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) till February 14 after they were produced before it through video link.
In a related development, the court also extended the judicial remand of Emaar scam accused Sunil Reddy till the same date.

If only baseball could find a way to make money on its attempts to rid the sport of performance-enhancing drugs.
Now, it can. Stevie Sunshine is here to help. I'm a pleaser, not a teaser.
Here's how: the running of the bulls in the United States.
In case you missed the story, someone named Bradford Scudder is bringing the "Great Bull Run'' festival from Pamplona, Spain to the U.S. The inaugural human slaughter, uh, run will take place next month in Virginia, and the circuit will include eight other stops before it reaches Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney next July.
It's the real deal, the real bloody deal, just like you see on television each year. While claiming they will use less aggressive bulls than those let loose in the streets of Pamplona, the promoters say the event will feature the chance that participants will be gored, trampled or tossed in the air.
In other words, perfect for baseball's drug cheats. Also available for bar-mitzvahs, but that's not why you called.
I'm not sure this has ever been spitballed in a collective bargaining agreement, but baseball should force every player busted for using PED's to run with the bulls. Let's see how much those drugs enhance your performance now, pally.
If you don't get gored, trampled or tossed in the air by a bull, you get to return to your team. If you get hurt, well, sorry, try a better anti-aging clinic next time.
Baseball could develop a new revenue stream by selling the event on pay-per-view and subscriptions to MLB.com. Baseball is always looking to increase its take, right? Well, here you go.
Tell me you wouldn't pay to see the emotionally homeless Alex Rodriguez face this test coming off hip surgery.
No vacation from a miserable Brewers team for Ryan Braun when Milwaukee fans still have some disposable income.
Visa or MasterCard?
Would any price point be too high if the event included lumbering Bartolo Colon?
Think of the entertainment. Fans would cheer juicers.
Think of the payday. Baseball could recoup some of the money it spent on PED investigations and PED-powered contracts.
Sure beats watching the All-Star Game.
Here's the real beauty of my idea: Baseball benefits from something it never wanted to deal with.
Baseball never wanted to look into the PED issue because chicks were digging the long ball. Bud Selig happily embraced baseball's revival courtesy of cartoonish-sized figures because, well, that's what an owner's towel boy does. Don't ask why. Just explain to your bosses how much money is coming in.
Then Congress called, and Selig and the owners had to fake outrage the way their players had to fake that their accomplishments were clean. Problem is, the cops are always behind the criminals, especially when it comes to PEDs. It will remain that way forever. Baseball will chase the bad guys and won't get all of them.
Ah, but baseball will catch some of them, and here's a way to make money off the journey, because the truth is, the destination of a 100 percent clean game won't be nearly as entertaining. I'm here to help fix that entertainment thing.
I'm here for you, baseball.

Billy Currington Finds Out He Has a Neighborhood Stalker
So… this is creepy. Billy Currington recently found out that one of his neighbors has been stalking him for the past six months. According to Currington's official Twitter page, the peeping tom has been scoping out the country singer through a pair of binoculars.
As if this wasn't weird enough, the stalker himself actually told Currington that he has been watching him, and that he would love to go fishing with the singer! Currington tweeted about the incident, writing, "Just found out this guy has been watchin' me thru a telescope and binoculars from his house for 6 months. So creepy. I know this cause he knocked on my back door and told me this and that he knows when I come and go and says he wants to take me fishin."
When the neighbor came a knockin' at Currington's door, he started to divulge way too much information about the singer's daily routines. "He says, 'Hey man you can come to my house anytime you want to,' and I say, 'Hey bro wtf?' He say he got 3 boats and 'I reallyyy wanna take you fishn,'" Currington wrote. "I say, 'Hey man you writin a book on me how you know all this stuff bout me?' He said, 'I got these great pair of binoculars!' [At] least he's honest."
The way-too-nosy neighbor was quite adamant about the fact that he wants to go fishing with Currington, and even said that he was starstruck while chatting with Currington face to face. Even though Currington was freaking out a bit, he still found the humor in the situation. He tweeted, "I need some good signs for this guy. What should I write when he starts his creepin'? Stairin' [sic] at me thru his telescope. He said, '[You] see that house over there bro?? The one that's all lit up?? That's mine man! I see you over here every day!' Now that I know I am gonna put on one hell of a show!"

The recognition that divine life is expressing itself as all that there is, including humans, and thus rendering meaningless the concept of any "God" that is separate from, holding power over, or judging the human experience; embodying one's individual divinity so completely that one becomes a delivery system of infinite life energy, creativity and divine love intelligence.
Over time, humanity's understanding of divine power has evolved from a victim-based polytheistic conception to a fear-based monotheistic belief, to the more accurate omnitheistic understanding of the infinite nature of life.

The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future by John Gerzema & Michael D'Antonio    HD 6054.3 .G39 2013
Among 64,000 people surveyed in thirteen nations, two thirds feel the world would be a better place if men thought more like women. This marks a global trend away from the winner-takes-all, masculine approach to getting things done. Drawing from interviews at innovative organizations in eighteen nations and at Fortune 500 boardrooms, the authors reveal how men and women alike are recognizing significant value in traits commonly associated with women, such as nurturing, cooperation, communication, and sharing. The Athena Doctrine shows why femininity is the operating system of 21st century prosperity.
- Advocates a new way to solve today's toughest problems in business, education, government, and more
- Based on a landmark survey and results from Young & Rubicam's respected Brand Asset Valuator's global survey, as well as on-the-ground interviews in 18 countries
- From acclaimed social theorist, consumer expert, and bestselling author, John Gerzema, and award-winning author, Michael D'Antonio
Brought to life through real world examples and backed by rigorous data,The Athena Doctrine shows how feminine traits are ascending—and bringing success to people and organizations around the world. By nurturing, listening, collaborating and sharing, women and men are solving problems, finding profits, and redefining success in every realm.
My Next Step: An Extraordinary Journey of Healing and Hope by Dave Liniger – Chairman and Co-Founder of Re/Max           RC 116 .S8 L56 2013
My Next Step is a remarkable memoir of one man coming face to face with the darkest moments of his life and how, through his own drive and the unwavering support of family and friends, he never succumbed to despair. Dave Liniger had it all: four successful children, a lifetime filled with adventure, and a company he'd founded, RE/MAX, that became one of the most prominent real estate brands in the world and made him a success beyond his wildest dreams. He had served in the Vietnam War, parachuted out of planes, raced cars, and once even attempted to circumnavigate the world in a balloon. And then overnight his full and varied life almost came to an abrupt end. Doctors discovered he had a horrific staph infection along his spine that left him paralyzed from the neck down and in excruciating pain.
When Dr. Mike Scanlon is called to serve as an army doctor in Afghanistan, he's acutely aware of the dangers he'll face and the hardships it will cause his wife Chloe and newborn baby. And deep inside, he doesn't think of himself as a warrior, but a healer.
However, in an ironic turn of events, as Mike operates on a wounded soldier in a war-torn country, Chloe dies at home in the suburbs, in an apparent household accident. Devastated, he returns home to bury her, only to discover that the life he left behind has fallen apart. His medical practice is in jeopardy, and he is a complete stranger to the only family he has left – his precious baby girl. Worse, he learns a shocking secret that sends him into a downward spiral.
Ultimately, Mike realizes that the most important battle of his life faces him on the home front and he'll have to put it all on the line to save what's dearest to him – his family. Gripping, thrilling, and profoundly emotional, Don't Go is Lisa Scottoline at her finest.

LEED BD+C: Homes v3 - LEED 2008
The Kantor Residence
(Awaiting performance data)
My main considerations included living in harmony with nature, using alternative energy and recycled materials, and conserving water and other natural resources.
This adirondack-style residence in idyllic New Canaan, Connecticut incorporates the highest levels of sustainability. The near-net-zero energy custom home was built to realize homeowners Etta and Nate Kantor's vision of achieving luxury with minimum environmental impact. To showcase its achievement in efficient planning, the Kantor residence has become home to educational workshops and tours from Connecticut Green Building Council, Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, and Fairfield University.
Some of the home's most notable features are solar thermal panels that heat an 1,000-gallon water tank, which is used like a battery to store heat for the house, pool, and domestic hot water; pellet boiler with an automatic feed to supply demand not met by the solar thermal system; wastewater heat recovery from the master shower; a composting toilet and graywater storage tank; and local, low-emitting, and sustainably grown and harvested interior finishes. Half of the roof's runoff is collected in cisterns and rain gardens to control excess stormwater. During construction, 90% of waste was diverted from landfills. Knowing that fireplaces are a large source of air infiltration and heat loss, a specialized contractor was hired to design the fully-sealed, wood burning fireplace. A recycled rubber and plastic roof that resembles slate shingling houses 14 photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal panels heat the ionized pool, which uses no chlorine. Overall, more than 94% of the home's energy needs are met by solar technologies.
Site context
The Kantor house is located in the suburban town of New Canaan, Connecticut, in Fairfield County. This community is known for its mid-century modern homes and scenic landscape, and is only a one-hour train ride from Manhattan. The Kantors remediated the existing site, removing abandoned vehicles and debris. The pond was protected and borders a new community garden overseen by the owners. Organic orchards and edible gardens surround the home, encouraging the natural harmony of insects and birds in a pesticide-free environment.
