Literary Birthday - 3 January
Happy Birthday, JRR Tolkien, born 3 January 1892, died 2 September 1973
JRR Tolkien: 10 Quotes
- I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighbourhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fafnir was richer and beautiful at whatever cost of peril.
- It's the job that's never started takes longest to finish.
- I am dreading the publication, for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at.
- I learned more in those two years than in any other equal period of my life. (On his time spent working on the New English Dictionary)
- Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker.
- I am told that I talk in shorthand and then smudge it.
- The unpayable debt that I owe to him [C.S. Lewis] was not 'influence' as it is ordinarily understood, but sheer encouragement. He was for long my only audience. Only from him did I ever get the idea that my 'stuff' could be more than a private hobby.
- If you're going to have a complicated story you must work to a map; otherwise you'll never make a map of it afterwards.
- The news today about 'Atomic bombs' is so horrifying one is stunned. The utter folly of these lunatic physicists to consent to do such work for war-purposes: calmly plotting the destruction of the world! Such explosives in men's hands, while their moral and intellectual status is declining, is about as useful as giving out firearms to all inmates of a gaol and then saying that you hope 'this will ensure peace'. But one good thing may arise out of it, I suppose, if the write-ups are not overheated: Japan ought to cave in. Well we're in God's hands. But He does not look kindly on Babel-builders.
- A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa but moved to England as a child. He was a writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known for the classic high fantasy works: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.

An anechoic chamber is a room that absorbs any echo produced by sound and prevents any form of reverb, creating a entirely static sound. The choir was recorded in this environment so that acoustical engineers can use the very basis of choral music to design concert halls and churches in the future.
"We walked in and it was like you were in a room full of cotton balls; the sound was completely shut off," said Sarah Beisser 06. "It sounded like your ears were plugged," Sara Smith 06 added. "It was like you just got off of an airplane and your ears hadnt popped yet."
The choir crowded onto rafters elevated six feet above the chamber floor, with conductor John Ferguson, organ music professor, standing on his own platform. The group sang five songs in a variety of styles from concerts earlier this year, hoping to provide good information for the scientists studying the event.
The room was designed with acoustically absorbent foam wedges that protruded from the walls. "It reminded me of egg crate material," Smith said. She then explained, "scientists can now digitally manipulate sound waves, so they can see how sounds reflect off of certain structures inside buildings. So you can manipulate the angles of the structure to get what you want."
As Ferguson explained, "The surfaces of a room reflect the sound, so you dont hear just the natural sound, you hear the version influenced by its surroundings. All the sounds we hear arent the sounds [as theyre made], theyre the sounds as they are mutated by their environment. The anechoic chamber takes away any influence that the room may have on the sound, so its just pure sound.
"There are no pure recordings without some reverb," said Doug Pierce 06. "When we first began singing, we then stopped and there wasnt an echo. You could only hear sound coming directly from someones mouth."
The unique design provided a very interesting environment for the choir. "It was a really cool experience," Smith said. "It was totally dead sound; when I came out I was deafened by regular echoes."3
Originally, the scientists wanted the St. Olaf Choir to sing, but the directors thought Cantorei would be best because they are built on unity they sing in smaller clumps of three or four members creating a more unified sound.
The absence of reverb made it especially difficult to sing in unison. "When [Ferguson] spoke it was like it was a thin tube of sound coming towards me." Beisser said. "When we were in the room I couldnt even hear singers from across the room. It was hard to keep intonation and to keep the beat. Our cutoffs werent as clear as we had hoped. It was sort of like I was singing alone."
"It was almost impossible to hear the person next to you singing," Doug Pierce 06 continued. "It was difficult to have the same sort of unity that we are used to."
Despite the inconvenience of not being able to hear the other singers around them, however, the choir performed well enough for the scientists to need only one take.
"We didnt think we did all that well," Pierce said. "But they loved it."

I recently bought a second hand Manfrotto 620B monopod. It had a ballhead attached. My question is this, included in the parcel (no original box or instructions or anything like that just a very good monopod). It had this strange object inside. Just out of curiosity can anyone tell me what it is? Perhaps the seller included it by mistake.
Thanks, I really don't like puzzles until they are solved.
It is a spanner for tightening the nuts on the levers you use to lock the extending leg in position. The spanner itself normally clips to the leg so that it is always available (hence the circular cross-section)
Edited to add: the nuts them selves are proteted by hexagonal plastic covers that you need to take off first (this may need to be levered off with a knife or somthing similar).
yes that is what it is i have one on my momopod myselfLast Modified By sparrowhawk at 29 Jan 2013 - 1:49 PM
I've had a Manfrotto tripod for a few years now. When I read this post I thought "Ah! Now I know what the clip on the leg is for!" So I pulled the tripod out of its carry bag to check, and guess what? It's gone! Must have got snagged in undergrowth somewhere.

Online retailing giant Amazon.com looks to be planning a second distribution center in Pierce County.
A national real estate company associated with the retailer recently bought 92 acres in DuPont for $26.1 million. The site, next door to Intel, is more than raw dirt. It includes plans for a center that is "permit-ready," the seller said, so it could be built and open in 10 months.
Details about the deal, first reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal, are scarce. Indianapolis-based Duke Realty bought the land in late November. It works with Amazon across the country. Just a few years ago, a company vice president told an industry publication that Amazon was No. 2 in Duke's portfolio.
Amazon would be another corporate heavy hitter for the south Pierce County community that already is home to Intel and State Farm and military families assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the project told The News Tribune that Amazon is the intended user of the site. They would not be quoted by name, citing confidentiality agreements. Company representatives did not return a call for comment, nor did officials with Duke Realty.
DuPont city officials also would not answer questions about the identity of the potential warehouse user. City administrator Dawn Masko told the Business Journal that she couldn't discuss the project because of a confidentiality agreement, though she was unclear when it was signed and who it was with. Masko did not return messages from The News Tribune on Tuesday.
Mayor Michael Grayum also declined to say for whom the property is being prepared, though he said his refusal didn't stem from that confidentiality agreement. The mayor said he hasn't signed such an agreement since taking office in January. Rather, he said, it's premature to discuss specifics of a deal that hasn't been finalized.
"We're not going to get people's hopes up and share things that we can't confirm," he said.
He said he didn't know when an announcement would be made. The city is working with Duke Realty to prepare the site for construction, Grayum said. Grading and other site preparation work is under way and will continue through the month.
The News Tribune filed a public records request seeking detailed information about the project. State law gives cities up to five business days to respond. Grayum said the city will provide the requested documents.
The property sale couldn't have come at a better time as the immediate tax revenue could blunt budget cuts the City Council is weighing after voters rejected a tax measure in November.
Grayum estimates real estate excise taxes from the sale would generate $130,000 next year for city coffers. That's enough money to save a police officer or firefighter that is on the chopping block, although it would only be for one year.
"It's only one-time money," the mayor said. "It still doesn't alleviate and fix the need for long-term stable funding for our general fund. It's a Band-Aid."
Tom Colegrove, a member of Take Back DuPont, a recently formed citizens group, said although he has concerns about increased truck traffic, he supports the project because of its potential to grow DuPont's economy and tax base.
"I'm just hopeful that something comes of it," he said. "If nothing else, we get a one-time (real estate excise) tax benefit."
Amazon has operated a leased distribution center in Sumner since 2011. It is in the Sumner Corporate Park north of the city and east of Washington 167 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Called the Summit Building, the 492,124-square-foot structure is in the northwest corner of the warehouse park.
The Summit Building was built in 2004, vacated in 2008 and then renovated for Amazon. Sumner city officials issued the requisite permits in just 10 days. As for how many people work there, Amazon has said only that "several hundred" people do.
The "permit-ready" warehouse in DuPont is almost twice that size. According to online marketing material for the site, it has room for two massive warehouses of 790,000 square feet each. The permit-ready one could be up and running in just 10 months, the sales material says.
"Depending upon a specific user's design criteria, it is very likely that the existing permits could be adapted to accommodate the modified specification (as opposed to submitting new application(s) for the facility)," the sales portfolio reads. "We have a very close working relationship with the City of DuPont and Pierce County, and are confident that any review process required for design modifications will be expedited."
Grayum said he's excited about the jobs and tax revenue the project could bring to the city. He said between 630 to 950 employees could work on the site if both warehouses are developed.
The work to make the site turn-key for potential buyers was done by Michael Sandorffy of Seattle and his investment partners. They have developed other projects in the area including the UPS facility in Auburn. Sandorffy said he doesn't know what Duke plans for the site.
"Even if I did, I couldn't discuss it," he said, "because I'm under a confidentiality agreement."

The mage one is bad.
"Arcane mages have the best mana usage rate out of all three trees." True... if they're speced hybrid and mostly use scorch. Arcane's main nuke, arcane missiles, is less efficient than frostbolt or fireball. Arcane's main efficiency talent, Arcane Concentration, requires only ten points in arcane to max out.
"Fire mages like to pull aggro in raids" So far in Kara and Gruul's lair, the only fight that is even close to aggro sensitive is Prince phase 1, and that's only because you can make the tank a valid target for enfeeble well before you pull aggro. A good mage paired with a good tank won't pull aggro, regardless of spec.
"the threat problems that Fire mages suffer from are easily handled by Iceblock."
NO. Ice block does NOT wipe threat, it simply makes you immune to damage for it's duration. Ice block is useful for situations where you need to clear a debuff or avoid AOE damage, but should not be relied upon if you pull aggro. Ranged attackers won't pull aggro until they reach 130% of the tanks threat. Suppose you have the tank at 100K aggro, responsible ranged DPSer at 110K (reasonable numbers a minuit or two into a boss fight). Noob iceblocker pulls aggro at 130K, and uses ice block. The boss now goes after the target with the highest threat: responsible ranged DPSer. Responsible DPSer dies. And since there's no way in hell the tank can make up 30K threat before ice block runs out, ice blocker usually dies anyway.
This poster does not know what he's talking about.

Most of the children seen through the CHOP Refugee Program are from Bhutan, a Southeast Asian country located between India and China. The majority are specifically Lhotshampa, a Bhutanese ethnic group of Nepali descent that lived in southern Bhutan and accounted for between one-third and one-half of Bhutan's population. The southern-Bhutanese speak Nepali and often dress in traditional Nepali clothing.
After being granted citizenship in 1958, some southern-Bhutanese rose to prominent positions in government. But not long after, the bureaucracy began to see these people as a threat to political order. As a result, a series of laws were passed in the 1980s and 90s that discriminated against their culture. When demonstrations against unfair regulations were met with torture and imprisonment, thousands fled the country.
About 105,000 southern-Bhutanese left the country for refugee camps in Nepal in 1991 and 1992. None have been allowed to return home. In 2007, the U.S. launched a program to help resettle at least 60,000 refugees. The southern-Bhutanese come here with the help of resettlement agencies, which are instrumental in helping them start a new life.
The CHOP Refugee Program works with three of the ten resettlement agencies to see southern-Bhutanese children who come to Philadelphia within the first 30 to 60 days of their time in the U.S. CHOP physicians perform physicals, give immunizations, and ensure the children will have no medical barriers to enrolling in school.

Recent technological advances have brought the possibility of directly imaging polyatomic molecular dynamics within reach. Consequently, several diffractive and non-diffractive time-resolved imaging techniques are currently under development worldwide. The work described here was motivated by the desire to pioneer the femtosecond laser-initiated Coulomb explosion approach to molecular imaging. The research project's original objective has been met using a unique instrument that can measure and correlate multiple three-dimensional ion velocities. Using this state-of-the-art machine, the first Coulomb explosion images of triatomic molecules have been produced. Furthermore, the apparatus has been employed to demonstrate that existing ultrafast laser technology is sufficient to confine virtually any molecule inertially during its multiple ionization. In conjunction with the instrument's novel capabilities, the Coulomb explosion process has been exploited in numerous other applications. For instance, a time-resolved method for directly imaging rotational wave packets in diatomic molecules has been demonstrated. Further, a high-sensitivity technique has been developed for detecting non-sequential "shake-off' double ionization in molecular deuterium. In other experiments, the optical timing of ion flight has been demonstrated, which should enable the fabrication of the world's smallest time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Finally, the instrument's excellent momentum resolution has given rise to an entirely new technique for observing molecular dynamics: electron self-diffraction imaging.

Barb Honchak and Vanessa Porto entered the cage in the Invicta FC 5 co-main event to face off for the promotion's inaugural flyweight title. The two got off to a slow start and spent the first round getting a feel for their opponent. Unfortunately, the two never kicked things into high gear and spent a majority of the five round fight trying to gain control of the positioning on the cage.
[RELATED: Cris Cyborg earns dominant TKO win in return to cage]
Neither fighter was able to establish themselves as a dominant presence, but Honchak was bringing the action at a higher volume than Porto. Ultimately, the fight went to the judges.
When the scorecards were read, Barb Honchak was named the first Invicta FC flyweight title via unanimous decision, 50-45, 49-46, 48-47. She will now look forward to her first title defense after the gritty performance against Porto.
Who stands out as a possible challenger at flyweight? Sound off in the comments section.

The parent only receives social security and has no other assests.
No, not just because they are your parents. You could be liable only if you agreed to be liable.
You must agree to be bound in one form or another, or have a court order that you take responsibility for your parents. The law does not automatically impose liability for a parent upon a child. It can work in reverse and can also work between spouses under the doctrine of necessities.

When Bad Bosses Happen To Good Employees
by Jeanne Knight - Oct, 2008
Chances are good that at some point in your career you will intersect with a bad boss. From middle management to CEOs, bosses who lack managerial, communication, and/or people skills exist in every level of business. Further, in these times when companies are driven by a challenging economy to run leaner operations, pressure can push even good bosses to stress-induced behaviors that create a poor working environment.

As If They Were You

"Treat everybody else as if they were you." These words gave me pause. I wonder what it would be like if we each did what this "unknown author" is advocating?

Would he still have sat by the window of the plane with his feet on the seat and kne...
Teambuilding Makes Your Organization Stronger
by Mary G. White - Aug, 2008
What makes a group of people who work together function as a team? Just because people are employed by the same company does not mean that they see themselves as a team or that they engage in teamwork. It's a fact that working together is not the same thing as teamwork. It's important for managers to understand the difference between the work of teams and the concept of teamwork. When the people who work for your organizati...

It is clear from the increasing acceptance and investment in coaching, among the broad spectrum...
Stress Management for Optimum Performance (Part One)
by Liz Bywater, PhD - Aug, 2008
Stress. It's a fact of life for today's busy executives, managers, and independent business owners. And that isn't entirely a bad thing. After all, without some degree of stress, we might not have the motivation needed for getting things done. No pressures, no deadlines, no real urgency to act. On the other hand, too much stress can dampen performance in a big way. When pressure mounts to excess, even moderate demands can...

The First Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." Laws enacted to control or suppress speech may operate at different points in the speech process. The law before us is an outright ban, backed by criminal sanctions. Section 441b of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 makes it a felony for all corporations—including nonprofit advocacy corporations—either to expressly advocate the election or defeat of candidates or to broadcast electioneering communications within thirty days of a primary election and sixty days of a general election. Thus, the following acts would all be felonies under §441b: the Sierra Club runs an ad within the crucial phase of sixty days before the general election that exhorts the public to disapprove of a congressman who favors logging in national forests; the National Rifle Association publishes a book urging the public to vote for the challenger because the incumbent U.S. senator supports a handgun ban; and the American Civil Liberties Union creates a website telling the public to vote for a presidential candidate in light of that candidate's defense of free speech. These prohibitions are classic examples of censorship.
Section 441b is a ban on corporate speech notwithstanding the fact that a Political Action Committee created by a corporation can still speak. A PAC is a separate association from the corporation. So the PAC exemption from §441b's expenditure ban does not allow corporations to speak. Even if a PAC could somehow allow a corporation to speak—and it does not— the option to form PACs does not alleviate the First Amendment problems with §441b. PACs are burdensome alternatives; they are expensive to administer and subject to extensive regulations. For example, every PAC must appoint a treasurer, forward donations to the treasurer promptly, keep detailed records of the identities of the persons making donations, preserve receipts for three years, and file an organization statement and report changes to this information within ten days. And that is just the beginning. PACs must file detailed monthly reports with the Federal Election Commission, which are due at different times depending on the type of election that is about to occur.
PACs have to comply with these regulations just to speak. This might explain why fewer than two thousand of the millions of corporations in this country have PACs. PACs, furthermore, must exist before they can speak. Given the onerous restrictions, a corporation may not be able to establish a PAC in time to make its views known regarding candidates and issues in a current campaign.
Section 441b's prohibition on corporate independent expenditures is thus a ban on speech. As a "restriction on the amount of money a person or group can spend on political communication during a campaign," that statute "necessarily reduces the quantity of expression by restricting the number of issues discussed, the depth of their exploration, and the size of the audience reached." Were the Court to uphold these restrictions, the government could repress speech by silencing certain voices at any of the various points in the speech process. If §441b applied to individuals, no one would believe that it is merely a time, place, or manner restriction on speech. Its purpose and effect are to silence entities whose voices the government deems to be suspect.
Speech is an essential mechanism of democracy, for it is the means to hold officials accountable to the people. The right of citizens to inquire, to hear, to speak, and to use information to reach consensus is a precondition to enlightened self-government and a necessary means to protect it. The First Amendment "'has its fullest and most urgent application' to speech uttered during a campaign for political office."
For these reasons, political speech must prevail against laws that would suppress it, whether by design or inadvertence. Laws that burden political speech are "subject to strict scrutiny," which requires the government to prove that the restriction "furthers a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest."
Premised on mistrust of governmental power, the First Amendment stands against attempts to disfavor certain subjects or viewpoints. Prohibited, too, are restrictions distinguishing among different speakers, allowing speech by some but not others.

What did you think?
Funny stuff if you ask me.
Great animation as well.
While I'm here I thought I could share something I think the community would enjoy.
Anyone remember the sonic cartoon a while back?
Well check out some shorts some people made for this on New Grounds...
Hey I'm a big fan of Zen of Sudoku.
We need more games like that, well brain-trainers in general, but more specifically... perhaps Zen of Kakuro?
Looks like something worth re-installing Half Life for...
Hm....I've been missing out apparently...Time to buy GTA:SA for Steam!
Yeah I thought that same thing, it has that feel to it as well.
I used to play this a lot back in 04...course I would mostly just mess around with the acrobatic movements, I would be the guy on Lobby always jumping up the pillars by flipping back and forth until I would fall and do it again. The only time I got in 'serious game-mode' was in the Kung-Fu only servers and sometimes I really got in 'the zone'.
An update with a dedicated emphasis on Hand-To-Hand combat or CQC would be very interesting...
"The new version modifies the way TS's unique Kung Fu system works, creating the most efficient and exciting hand to hand battles yet. This release also brings weapon balance more into line, and fixes bugs that existed in the past, which people familiar with the older versions will be glad to hear."
Is there somewhere that I can find more specific/technical details on that? I would try it out by simply downloading it(3.0) if only I had a stable internet connection....until I do I have to wait.
Poor Alex...
Ahh I knew I had to break something!
Thanks. +D
It's strange that you find people way WORSE on CS servers but yet CS will be alive for quite some time to come...
This is a good mod, even family friendly IMO.
Part two was ok, here's a bit of info on part 3.
The mod itself was pretty sweet when it first came out, it would be great if there is another release based on the newer movies....or at least an improvement on this one as people have suggested...
What's up with it saying Valve is the developer?
Is he trying to hand it over, or have they just picked it up?
I'm surprised that this isn't on Source, being that I'm sure they want nothing to do with the GoldSrc engine...so I'm assuming it's not actually Valve wanting to pick up where his ***** *** left off.
Btw...what's up with the Matrix Font on the banner?
So many memories....which one to dwell on?
Of course the ones of temporary server domination as the denoman....

NY foodie finally realizes lifelong quest to go to NOLA!
Hi All,
Yes, I've been trying to get there since I was 16. Many years later, my dream will come true. I'm booked for thursday through monday. But with so many choices for good food, I find myself paralyzed and unable to actually make the resys. So I turn to you, dear NO chowhounders, to help guide my way. Here's what my vague plan is: I'd like to eat at one of the classics (Galatoire's, Commander's Palace, Antoine's or Arnaud's) on fri or sat. On the other weekend night, I'd like to eat at one of the more contemporary places (Cochon? Coquette? Patois? Bayona? Brigsten"s? etc., etc.) and by contemporary I mean regional with a modern slant. Also, I've read alot of the po' boys at The Parkway, but I'd like to hear what your recommendations are. So lay 'em on me!
Commander's Palace Restaurant
1403 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130
430 Dauphine St, New Orleans, LA 70112
Galatoire's - no doubt about that! If you are a party of one or two you shouldn't have a problem getting seated in a timely manner for lunch on any day. I've always been able to be seated immediately even on a Friday at lunch which is their really busy time.
Out of the next category, I like Brigsten's but I haven't been in the last two years. When we went, it was amazing! Make a reservation early or they'll be booked up.
Try the shrimp po-boy at Johnny's. I can't vouch for the others, the oyster wasn't great but the shrimp was wonderful.
Mr. B's bbq shrimp is a must.
Have a wonderful trip.
Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
Glad that you could make it all work.
My choices:
Then I'd definitely throw in Parkway Bakery for some po-boys (not THAT easy to get to, but worth the effort - remember, NOLA is not NYC with regards to the public transportation.
Some other considerations:
Cochon (maybe for a lunch)
Bayona (very good, but in my second tier)
Restaurant August (would be an alternate for Brigtsen's, but only if you could not get into Chef Frank's)
Antoine's was great, but suffered some setbacks. Have not yet made it back, but they hold a very special place in MY heart.
Arnaud's has been very good, but if you have not yet done Galatoire's, place it down the list.
Commander's has been excellent, though has let me down in the last few years, so they got moved down on Hunt's "Must-do" list, but others still love it.
For brunch, I would consider Brennan's, or Ralph's on the Park. There are others, and in some fine hotels in the FQ, but those two have never disappointed me.
Coquette and Patois get a lot of respect here, but I have yet to fit them in, so cannot comment.
Like Stella!, but I think you are running out of time, and would chose some others first.
Another option would be the Grill Room @ the Windsor Court Hotel. Reminds me of a darker, more intimate, but slightly less spectacular, than Restaurant Daniel (Manhattan), and it would be below Galatoire's, Brigtsen's and Restaurant August.
Now, that is definitely missing many great, somewhat funky NOLA restaurants, all of which should be considered, but with but a few nights and days, should wait until your next trip.
For some interesting breakfasts, I recommend The Coffee Pot (nee Maxie's Coffee Pot, and the Original Coffee Pot) on St. Peter St., just river-side of Pat O'Brien's, Stanley! (Stella's "brother" restaurant) and Camellia Grill (have not been to the FQ location, but grew up at the Carrollton Ave. location). I also enjoy Cafe du Monde, but only go late, after all of the "tourists" go to bed.
Most of all, enjoy,
PS - when you go to Parkway, grab a table, and spend a bit of time, getting the "feel" of the place. Mostly, you will be surrounded by locals, having their po-boy lunch, so read up on the menus on the boards, and wait for a bit of a lull. Talk to the ladies across the counter, and do not hesitate to ask for their recs., plus instructions. They will guide you. Do not miss the Pontchartrain Beach photo gallery. While not Coney Island, it held a big place in the hearts of many in NOLA. Soak up the nostalgia, just as I do, when in NYC.
Restaurant August
301 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
930 Tchoupitoulas St., New Orleans, LA 70130
Camellia Grill
626 S Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118
Coffee Pot Restaurant
714 Saint Peter St, New Orleans, LA 70116
430 Dauphine St, New Orleans, LA 70112
Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
Brigtsen's Restaurant
723 Dante St, New Orleans, LA 70118
Windsor Court Hotel
300 Gravier Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
Galatoire's it is! I think I'll try Cochon, as well, and def parkway for the po' boys. Maybe Commander's palace for the sunday brunch. Maybe Brigsten's one of the other nights. I am not adverse to funk, at all, so feel free to let me know the high/lowlights there. Gotta be prepared for the left turn, since you never know what's around the corner!
Other than food, it will be about the music...drinking,dancing, etc. will try to see kermit, preservation hall, assorted frenchman joints.
on the flip side, if anyone needs recs for NY......

Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
In the French Quarter you should go to Coops. It's a dive bar with great food like gumbo, red beans and jambalaya (best jambalaya ever). I asume it is is still good. Last time I was there was in 2004. I don't think you will do much better than that in the quarter. There's lots of bad tourist traps with mediocre food. I also like the Roast Beef Po Boy at Johnny's..
re: catciao
The upstairs is a group of three dining rooms and a small bar. It is perfectly pleasant but it is not what we have come to call "The Show" of downstairs. THe ground floor room is a single room with a high ceiling from which fans hang. It is brightly lit from the fans and single socket lights at the tops of mirrors that run along the sides. It is a much more fun environment than upstairs. You will see at once the relaxed , but be-suited, nature of the place. You can also go at anytime in the afternoon so reservations need not be a worry.
re: hazelhurst
thanks, hazelhurst.
not so worried about a wait if there's a cocktail to help endure
re: catciao
With a couple, or small group, it's easy to send "runners" out onto Bourbon St. for drinks, if there are not enough flowing quickly enough. However, do not fill up too much, as the wine list and cocktails inside of Galatoire's are really part of the meal.
Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
re: catciao
While I think that Hazelhurst has covered nearly every base, re: Galatoire's upstairs vs downstairs, I have to admit that over the last dozen years, we've dined upstairs, with no qualms. Now, in each case, we had guests, and almost everyone in the group had time constraints, so we opted for going the reservations route, and upstairs. Just great!
That said, I also must add that over the decades, I have dined downstairs, and have stood in line to do so, and did greatly appreciate that tableau, that unfolds on the lower level - it has sort of become a "been there, done that... " sort of thing with me.
Were I on vacation, with no time constraints, and especially if I had NEVER dined downstairs, it would not be a contest - I would stand in line, and dine on the lower level.
Though, I admit to being much older now, so quiet dining is something that I do not take lightly. Upstairs is quieter, and a tad more relaxed, but the real "New Orleans Galatoire's experience" IS downstairs.
I know that this is a lot to consider, so I will close by stating, you cannot go wrong, either way.
Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
Commander's is outstanding. Go to Commander's for their weekday lunch special and 25 cent martini's. If you don't have a car take a cab or take the streetcar to Washington and walk 2 blocks to CP. After lunch walk 3 blocks to Magazine and go to the right. Then visit the neat shops and stores on Magazine in the 3,000 to 5,000 block area. You can walk back to SC and catch the streetcar or ride the Magazine bus back to the FQ. Ask for a table in the Garden Room overlooking the courtyard at CP. Good luck.
re: Littleman
That sounds like a great plan.
In the last few years, our CP excursions have been for culinary events and a couple of dinners. The lunches have not been sampled in far too long, so I might fall back in love with CP, if I just switch the times, that I dine there. Going back a bit, the lunches and brunches were spectacular, even though I appreciate wines, more that martinis... [Grin]
re: Bill Hunt
LOL-the concept of runners to get drinks while you're waiting is funny to me, though I know it's part of the scene there. Not sure it would work in NY! Anyway, I was thinking there would be a bar to sit at while waiting, but it sounds like you actually have to stand in the line, so....whatever works at the time, I guess. We'll probably go on Friday night.
Saturday night I made resys for Cochon. We'll either do the lunch or sunday brunch at Commander's-that one we'll play by ear. The rest of the time will be spent walking around, listening to music and dancing. Couldn't think of anything better at this moment.
And as for me, I appreciate both martinis and wine. It just depends on the mood...
930 Tchoupitoulas St., New Orleans, LA 70130
re: catciao
Yes, it is best to have a "designated waiter-in-line," so having a runner for the group works too. Just save room for Galatoire's wines and cocktails. Let the amateurs get bloto in line, and just keep your cool. It will be well worth it.
Galatoire's Restaurant
209 Bourbon St., New Orleans, LA 70130
I'm just finishing up a trip in NO. I hate to start off with a negative, but I ate at Brigtsens last night and was severely disappointed. The service was fine but the meal was just sad. From the reviews on the boards I was hoping for much better. On a positive note, I ate at Mr. B's, Herbsaint, and August this week and had wonderful meals. August was truly amazing. I had been there before and liked it but this time I did the tasting menu and it was one of the best meals I have ever had. I have reservations tonight for Cochon, which was excellent last time I was there.

Remembering to include animals in charitable donations is well worth doing, particularly if you can spend some time helping your local shelter as a volunteer or learning to help with humane feral cat population control programs. The appreciation you can receive from animals you've helped can be quite unlike anything you've ever experienced.
I want to know why the Gov., Attorney General or one of our Gov. Reps doesn't go after these criminals for ripping off the public. If one of us did this, we'd be brought up on charges. Why are these "Charities allowed to operate when they're taking 80-90% of the money received ? We give to charities believing the money we give is going to help those in "NEED". I understand there's expenses, but paying out millions of dollars to execs. is criminal. Who do these people answer to ? Where's our Government officials ? Why aren't these execs brought before the Senate Committee to answer for their actions ?
As of today, I'm done with these charities. I will donate my money to local Charities, food banks, animal shelters. This is total B/S

Ask most people what happens to prophecies in the Bible, and the response will be that they get fulfilled. But that popular answer is based on a fundamental translation mistake.
Read Whole Story
Just as in those fresh days from decades ago, Baez continues to sing out injustice, the challenge and responsibility to be decent in a world bent on bending goodness into greed and simple pleasure into perversity. It brought to mind the prophet Ezekiel.
During the Passover Seder many have the tradition to rise from the table and open the door for the Prophet Elijah to come. This year's celebration brings with it an extra reminder of how much we should not take for granted the blessing of being able to open our door in hope and not fear.
Jeremiah preaches that the end marks a beginning. In the waste, he sees an opportunity for a fresh start.
No matter what injustices we face in this world, our hearts remain ours to decide how we will respond -- and this mother was wrestling with what I call the Jonah Syndrome: craving justice most for others while what we crave most for ourselves is grace.
One has to wonder how the biblical prophets would deal with things like our military budget and our American health care "system" -- and our refusal to face the truth about either one of them.
Maybe "success" in a church is a lot less about how many people are in the pews on Sunday morning and a lot more about how many people in the community find sacred space within the church's everyday life.
Revelation reveals what it means to worship God and Christ. It challenges believers to faithful living in the midst of cultural pressure to compromise.
No academic interpreter of Revelation understands the book as a roadmap for the future. Instead, Revelation originally spoke to the conditions of its own time and place.
The primary problem with prophecy today is that we do not receive the news accurately; it is always slanted left or right.
People of good faith can make common cause against apocalypse. Regardless of our view of ultimate reality, we can accept the world as science finds it and take responsibility for stewarding it.
Let's do a little comparison. Let's look at a few of Moses' predictions to see if we believe that they actually came to pass and then contrast them with the perennially popular 16th century French prophet Nostradamus.
The longer President Obama avoids confronting the perverse legacy of the war, the more distorted our decisions and strategy will be.

TEAMS: Syracuse Orange, Ohio State Buckeyes
Yes, that is a giant Jim Boeheim and Big Orange mascot signs in the crowd at in the East Regional Final. The Ohio State Buckeyes took on the Syracuse Orange in the Elite Eight where the winner goes to the Final Four. Aaron Craft's family were shown on TV and didn't look like they cared about the game at all. Jim Boeheim was upset with almost every call on the sidelines as the refs continued the tradition of being awful. JUMP!

Start with a dragon, a bird-man, an evil queen, helpful spirits, and the eternal quest for wisdom and enlightenment. Add copious vocal pyrotechnics, suspense, love, and humor, and the result is Mozart's fascinating and enduring final operatic masterpiece, "The Magic Flute." Ithaca College will...
You don't have to understand Ithaca College Theatre's presentation of its original dance show "Illuminated Bodies." You can try to interpret it, if you'd like, but that's not the point, either. When dancers take to the Hoerner Theatre stage tonight, choreographers Lindsay Gilmour and Amy O'Brien just want you to feel and experience what is taking place....
Join us for a talk-back discussion on Saturday, April 30 after the 2 pm matinee performance of "Baby". "Baby's" Musical Director Joel Gelpe will talk about the show's innovative approach to story and music and its place in the evolution of the modern musical in the 1980s. He'll also discuss the longtime collaboration of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire, and how...

On June 19 in Sao Paolo England were sliding out of the World Cup courtesy of Luis Suarez who was using his feet rather than his teeth to make a point. Lots of people in Glasgow celebrated on June 19 and here at the Screen Department we did too but it had nothing to do with football. It was our annual showcase screening at what has become its regular home, Cineworld in Renfrew Street.
Our students do great work for the three years they are with us and it is a real joy for them to be able to see the fruits of their labours in state of the art digital format on a big screen in a large auditorium in front of a capacity audience. It's a genuine cinema experience and this year it was enhanced when the cinema was dressed with movie style quad posters designed for all three films by Hannah Kelso.
As always the programme was wide and eclectic; our three graduation films featured an X-Files style story about aliens, a high school romance with a mystery, and a heartfelt drama about an absent father. To whet the appetite we also had a supporting programming with featured, amongst other things, a music video, a couple of films from our second years, and a trailer based on our collaboration with the BA Acting course on the River City set – Shieldinch Nights.
With appetites well and truly whetted we moved into the body of the screening and once again music and factual content combined in another film from our Documentary Development module. Late Night with Glasgow from Kurosh Kani is an intriguing look at Glasgow after dark from the point of view of the people who provide our late night musical soundscape; buskers.
Over the years the BA Digital Film and Television Course has acquired a reputation for strong but eclectic drama and so these films continued that theme.
First up was Crescent, written and directed by Hannah Kelso and starring Paul McCole, Sharon Young and Ben Henderson. This is a family drama with sci-fi undertones as an eight-year-old boy's life is turned upside down when crop circles appear in the fields of the family farm.
The Scribbler, written by Hannah Smith and directed by Kurosh Kani, is our first foray into what you might call teen rom-com territory. Eric Cooper (Ross Barbour) isn't having the happiest of times at high school but the work of a mysterious vandal leads to all sorts of romantic possibilities.
Our final film is Our Father, written and directed by Artur Zaremba, and starring Pierce Reid. Pierce starred in our award-winning 2011 'silent movie' The Taxidermist. This time round he has dialogue and gives another affecting performance as a young man who works for an emotional support help line as a way of coming to terms with a difficult relationship with his own father.
The films had a great reception and we look forward to them making their way out onto the festival circuit. However at the end of our tenth anniversary year we can look back on their predecessors with some pride. Last year's graduation films have set the bar high with a number of successes in terms of awards and international recognition.
Hannah by Michael Crumley won the triple crown of RTS awards with the best undergraduate film award in Scotland, nationally in London at the student awards and then finally the best film at the actual RTS Awards against all undergraduate and postgraduate films across the UK. It also won 2 BAFTA New Talent awards for best music (RCS student Jessica Jones) and Best Writer, Michael Crumley.
The Groundsman has been shown in L.A., Chicago, Berlin and has been chosen by Channel 4 for a screening on their Shooting Gallery initiative. It also won 2 BAFTA New Talent Awards for best short film and best editor, a then second year DFTV student Conor Meechan.
It was a good year for alumni too. Graduates Steven Ferguson and Jojo Erholtz were nominated for Student Oscars for their work on North, a film they made at the National Film and Television School.
This year also saw our first feature with Paul Wright's For Those in Peril winning plaudits from critics as well as a BAFTA Scotland award for Best Feature and a national BAFTA nomination for Best Feature Debut.
And it was the year in which DFTV established a beach-head in Hollywood. Alumnus Krysty Wilson-Cairns sold her science fiction script Aether to a major studio and just last month was named as one of the UK Stars of Tomorrow by Screen International.
The good news is that this year's graduates appear to be rising to the challenge. The prospects for all of them look bright. BAFTA Scotland winner Conor Meechan is currently editing the BBC Children's series The Sparticle Mystery, Tarek Shayne Tabet has shot one feature in Germany and just started another last week, and Rachel Erskine has been working as an Edit Assistant Apprentice on the Warner Brothers Creative Talent scheme. These are just a few of what we are sure will be a great many success stories from the class of 2014.

First stop in Croatia and we head to Zadar. One of the first things we notice here is how SOUND the people are…its nice to be somewhere people act the same as we do at home. Last night we checked out a place called THE GARDEN. Everyone we met was telling us this was the place to be, and I can see why. We arrived and ordered a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea which was strong enough to knock the head off a Kerry man. House choons playing in the background but not the place to be if you want a dance and a laugh. Excellent mixing though…the dj knew his crowd. We would have stayed there longer with the promise of good drink and music had the place not finished at 1am so on the dj's advice we ventured over to the MARASCHINO CLUB…open to 5am. Situated on the extremely chic docs/waterfront across from the old town lies Maraschino bar/club and this is the place to be if you want to dance into the early hours. An excellent club with amazing views over the waterfront boasting a nice soundsystem, good resident djs and warm and friendly bar staff…not to mention a sound out resident house cat! When in Zadar do The Garden and Maraschino.

You know you're at a pretty lavish foreign festival when a water taxi arrives to whisk you off to a private beach which is to play host to this year's Stop Making Sense festival in Tisno in Croatia. I'll have me some of that thank you very much!After hearing the rumors of Croatia having a pretty serious dance and electronica scene we decided to investigate these claims a little further. Being thrown onto the scent by a group of Croatian esteemed techno promoters and label known as 'Machine Whisperer' we made the decision to up stakes and travel our way around Croatia for the Summer of 2012 just to see what al the fuss is about. After ploughing through the multitude of festivals available to the novice music lover such as 'Dimensions Festival' and 'Outlook' to name but two, one of the big hitters on our to-do list this Summer is without a doubt hitting up 'Stop Making Sense'. This particular festival was born back in 2010 and featured headliner sets from artists such as Carl Craig and Subclub (Glasgow) in 2011. This year it's back and it's bigger than ever before with an inspired line-up featuring heavy hitters such as Jimmy Edgar, Dark Sky, Secretsundaze and one of my personal favorites, George Fitzgerald.Boat Parties with pumping choons and blasting sun is just one of the extras on offer, and if you tend to get a bit sea sick one can always opt for some early morning beachside Yoga to ease your way into the day's musical anarchy. As your Irish correspondents for Croatia 2012, we'll be giving you the lowdown throughout the Summer months on this festival and others alike. Doing the legwork so you don't have to!If this sounds like your cup of tea and you fancy traveling a little bit further for a little bit more check out the Stop Making Sense Website, here: http://stopmakingsense.eu/
When the sun goes down, the gain fires up.
The afternoon proved to be a fruitful one. Sunshine, barbequed burgers, cans in a bright back garden. On the vine, suckling grapes blush in the balsam glow of summer.
As the sun ascends towards that unreachable vault, we find ourselves at the final night in the season as Macronite takes its leave for the summer break with little intention of going gentle into that good night. Instead, the warehouse tonight plays host to its final bacchanalia, which has been left in the more than capable hands of Source Direct head honcho Phil Source in what promises to be a firecracker of a set, who tonight will focus on the finer old school classics the label has to offer.
While driving through Middleton in what can only be described as the fattest rain I have ever seen I turned to my festival comrade, begging him to pull over for more booze and the prospects of purchasing a cheap rain jacket. I was clearly not dressed for the occasion, having left sunny Limerick wearing merely a pair of shorts, a t-shirt and my dancing tackies. This could be an absolute wash out I thought to myself, however never folks to let a splash of water get in the way of the shneer we drove onwards and upwards (or downwards?) to a little place called Mogeely in Co.Cork, took an extremely sharp right and found ourselves spiraling down into what can only be described as this amazing little valley packed with pumping choons.

It is a far, far better thing to hang out in a room that's too warm than too cold. The heating has been on since last night from what I can tell and the room is nice and toasty on this Sunday morning. I've dropped down here for a few moments to myself, having earned the Nobel Prize for Sessioning, along with some of my cohorts and close friends on the second floor. Simon, my roommate for the weekend, has returned from one of his excursions around the hotel with a slice of toast. Breakfast is going on at the moment, I'm informed, although at this stage in the weekend I've little interest in eating.
It's a cold morning in this wing of the hotel. The kind of morning where it's so cold you know that throwing off the bed covers is tantamount to committing suicide. The throbbing headache that has chosen to rack my ailing brain justifies the hyperbolic tendencies of my previous statement… Christ, it's probably too early in the morning for so many big words in one sentence… and looking at the time on my watch, I find it's still just 10:30AM. Lying there and in no mood to get out of the bed just yet, I recall last night's events.
To Shiv,
Without whose consideration this would not have been possible
The road threads through the coarse and beautiful terrain of south-west Kerry, ditches and stubby bridges over babbling brooks amid a crown of steep and brooding foothills. With each twist we are travelling into some place away from itself and with a yawning bend, we find ourselves skating along the rim of that coastline here at the end of the world. The Dingle peninsula juts into the north Atlantic and with each revolution, the coast opens its gaping maw even wider; the horizon bending around the water's edge.
We are beyond Time here having reached this splendid little Berghof, nestled between the sea and a dream. Getting out of the bus, which has been travelling now for a lifetime, the first thing one notices is the harbour; giving way to a headland several kilometres away. The hotel itself is a three storey affair the colour of Thousand Island dressing and presides out over this especially pleasant view.
Ali Daly talks to Rest
It was a bank holiday.
I went dancing.
On the previous Friday, Nathan Fake launched any amount of sophisticated remixes out of the Pavilion's sound system.
On Saturday I recovered.
Now, having spent a particularly enjoyable Sunday evening throwing Techno out of a nice, reliable pair of KRK's, I find myself back in the rather salubrious surroundings of Dolan's warehouse. Niki's grinding out some especially pleasant Techno (insofar as Techno can be pleasant!) and I find myself embedded right in the heart of another night of daring escapades, this time with things presided over by Danish Drum&Bass duo-turn- Industrial Techno whizz kids Northern Structures.

Last week, while riffling through the Internet, as I normally do, I came across and article by Totally Dublin titled, 200 Reasons Not to Leave Dublin. I began to read it with mild interest but slowly and surely it began to irk me; I only got as far as number 30 before I was actually annoyed.
The article named various things and places about Dublin that it wanted to promote but seemed to fail to realize that the only things truly unique to Dublin, that it had listed, were physical landmarks.
Things like Guinness, Chippers, Viking Settlements, Deli Counters, Rugby are examples of reasons to stay in Ireland, not just Dublin, and I'm sorry but The Rubberbandits and Vincent Browne are from Limerick!
A mate of mine attempted to talk me down, she said informed me that the article was simply an update from an earlier 1980's article on immigration but it got me thinking. Many Dublin natives generally disregard the rest of the country, seeing as they are natives of the capital, they have most of everything at their fingertips.
They fail to realize that Ireland, in all her glory is a remarkable place. I, a Limerick man, know my city well and am proud to be associated with her, I decided to write up my own piece on my city in hopes that people, the world over, would see that Ireland is not just Dublin, but a vast nation filled with many wonderful places, features, landmarks and people.
Don't get me wrong, I love Dublin and have lived there in the past and chances are if I decide to settle in Ireland, Dublin will be my future permanent home and this isn't a depressing idea at all but I implore the rest of the country to travel within its boundaries. Ireland is a vibrant place and places like Limerick have so much to offer, so here I've decided to list my 99 Reasons to Visit Limerick. Enjoy.
Interview with Crayonsmith
Cabin in the Woods written by Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon couldn't wholly be classified as a horror film, which is what I thought it was initially, instead, in true Whedon style, it blends elements of horror, comedy and the supernatural into a completely unique and imaginative solid script which unfortunately cant be discussed in too much detail without giving away the main premise of the movie, all I can say its that it's pretty meta. Think comedy television show Community mixed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer seamlessly blended with Sam Raimi's Evil Dead or Drag Me to Hell.

Peopling the Pre-Dorset Past: A Multi-Scalar Study of Early Arctic Lithic Technology and Seasonal Land Use Patterns on Southern Baffin Island
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Dr. A. Cannon
This dissertation aims to identify and understand the seasonal, subsistence, and social contexts of lithic tool production, use, and discard amongst the Pre-Dorset peoples inhabiting southern Baffin Island. Lithic artifact assemblages from four coastal and three inland site components are examined for patterns of variability that can be used to address two interrelated research problems. The first focuses on understanding functional differences between Pre-Dorset inland and coastal sites. While Arctic archaeologists generally believe the Pre-Dorset followed a season round structured by inland and coastal activities, comparative analyses to explore how sites in these locales were used and when they were occupied have not been conducted. The second problem seeks to study variability as though "people mattered." Current analyses of Pre-Dorset culture focus largely on culture historical issues, thus there is a little sense of who these people were. Over 24,000 lithic artifacts are analyzed using a combined methodological approach. Isolated patterns of variability are interpreted using two theoretical frameworks: the organization of technology, and agency theory. Because the stated research problems have different spatial and temporal dimensions, a multi-scalar framework is used to organize separate scales of analysis. The results of this study indicate the Pre-Dorset people occupying southern Baffin Island did follow a seasonal round structured by inland and coastal activities. However, the primary incentive drawing people inland was the availability of lithic raw materials. Using a direct procurement strategy, specially organized task groups traveled to the interior during the warm season to renew their toolstone supplies and interact with other distant groups. Those individuals who did not travel inland remained at sites in the coastal uplands. At the end of summer, there groups reunited in the coastal uplands where Arctic char and caribou are abundant. The Pre-Dorset then organized their lithic and organic toolkits in preparation for the journey to their winter camps in the outer coastal regions.

How do you make ROAR chocolate?
We make each Roar chocolate bar by hand in small batches and we start from the finest unroasted cacao beans.
We blend the ingredients by hand and eye and we use certified organic ingredients wherever possible.
Our policy is to keep very little made stock and much of our chocolate is made to order.
It might take longer to fullfil your order but the chocolate then is as fresh as possible even though it has a one year shelf life.
We mould and wrap all the chocolate by hand.
The chocolate is never heated above 420
Exact method and recipes I can not say as the chocolate maker's secrets are closely guarded, ask Willie Wonka!!
However for the first time ever I've been persuaded to let abit of the magic out, so there is a simplified version of our technique included in our ROAR Chocolate Alchemy kit which has just been made available.

There is, on top of a mushroom in NW Zangermarsh, a skeleton resting next to a hooka. It's little touches like this that i love in this game. I play a lot around dawn and it FEELS like dawn in the game...the lighting is soft and the air starting to fill with bird song. One really does need to stop and smell the roses sometimes in this game.

At the end of each calendar year, Seminary communications chief John Spangler and I independently compile lists of what we consider the "top 10 LTSG stories" of the year, and then compare notes. Usually there's an amazingly high degree of correlation between our lists; this year was no exception. In the end, the final selection is my personal "top 10" list, and here it is (not in order of relative importance):
1. Voices of History Soon to Speak: After more than a decade of planning, in 2011 the Seminary and joint venture partner Adams County Historical Society got green lights all the way to proceed with the rehabilitation of Schmucker Hall ("Old Dorm"). Federal and Pennsylvania grants and tax credits totaling more than $8 Million enable us to forge ahead in creating a world-class museum, set to open mid-2013, just in time for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
2. New Partnership Emerges with Luther Seminary: In a move some found surprising, LTSG entered into a new collaborative partnership with the ELCA's largest sister school, Luther Seminary of St. Paul, MN. Sharing faculty and resources, the schools will work together in Luther-led "distributed learning" (a hybrid of on-campus and online courses and formation) and a new M.A.R. concentration in Religion & Media led by Gettysburg Seminary. Faculty and administrators at both schools continue exploring additional areas of work, even as we maintain our strong commitment to the Eastern Cluster and Washington Consortium.
3. Seminary Receives 'Unqualified' Reaccreditation: Two years of concerted work in preparation for our decennial comprehensive accreditation review resulted in an unqualified (no major deficiencies noted) reaccreditation for ten years by both the Association for Theological Schools and Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The Seminary was commended especially for our sound fiscal status, entrepreneurial spirit and broad network of support.
4. Chapel Geothermal Conversion Completed: In keeping with the Seminary's commitment to continue "growing greener," an old steam heat system in the Church of the Abiding Presence was replaced with 21st century geothermal HVAC systems. Combined with the sustainable energy conversion was interior face-lifting, which included new wood flooring and renewal of the 70-year-old pews. Schmucker Hall will be the next campus facility to "go geothermal."
5. Faculty Promotions, Publications, Emeriti Passing: During the year, two faculty members—Drs. Leonard Hummel and Robin Steinke—were promoted to full professor status; Dr. Kristin Largen was granted tenure; and senior faculty member Dr. Nelson Strobert became a "chaired" professor as the first to be conferred the newly-established Paulssen/Hale Chair of Church & Society. Multiple books and significant articles were authored by faculty writers. The Seminary community also marked the passing of two giants among our emeritus cadre, as services celebrated the lives of Larry Folkemer and Richard Thulin. As the year ends, we also honor the life and witness of Marlene Beekmann, spouse of the Seminary's eleventh president, Dr. Darold Beekmann.
6. Gettysburg Seminary Media Presence Expanded, Recognized: Together with our outstanding Communications Office, a new Admissions staff team has taken the lead in making the Seminary more prominent on the multi-media map through expanded presence on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. The radical redesign of our Seminary Ridge Review journal by John Spangler and Katy Giebenhain gained national recognition as the publication received the prestigious DeRose/Hinkhouse Award from the Religious Communications Council of America.
7. Major Gifts a Godsend Amidst Economic Slump: In an extraordinary act of generosity, Ms. Ruth Shaw, member of a small-town parish in Maryland, and unknown to the Seminary, left the bulk of her estate to Gettysburg Seminary. This marvelous gift enabled the board to complete the Paulssen/Hale chair, designate start-up funding for the collaborative ventures with Luther, and offer "matching funds" for gifts to complete the chapel renovation and geothermal conversion. In another act of extreme generosity, the Glatfelter Foundation completed full funding of the named biblical studies chair occupied by Dr. Richard Carlson. Once again, despite the economic slump and with no increase in student tuition, the Seminary ended the 2010-11 fiscal year "in the black."
8. Payne Bicentennial Celebrations: One of the Seminary's most renowned alumni, the Rev. Dr. Daniel Alexander Payne, was born in 1811. First African-American to receive a theological education in a Lutheran institution, Payne was founder of a major university and a bishop in the AME Church of his day. In partnership with Payne Seminary in Ohio, named for our illustrious alumnus, Gettysburg Seminary celebrated a year-long commemoration of his birth bicentenary. Soon to be published is a Payne biography authored by Professor Nelson Strobert, also completed during 2011.
9. Student-led Public Witness: Among seminaries around the country, Gettysburg Seminary's public profile has been raised in recent years by student-led initiatives. This fall, a "sleepover" by students in the Gettysburg town square raised awareness of the plight of homeless persons in our community and around the country. Multiple events sponsored by the Student Association have gained public recognition, including hosting the annual LutherBowl flag football tournament here on our campus. In November, unfortunately, an early snowfall caused mid-tournament cancellation, leaving the 2011 Bowl without a winner (wait 'til next year!)
10. Graduates Get Calls, Serving Faithfully: Amidst some inaccurate rumors of a growing "clergy oversupply," the Seminary's 2011 seniors received their first calls to parishes and other ministries around the country apace of prior years' graduates. Always the most important indicator of a Seminary's faithful service, the work and witness of another group of outstanding women and men gives credence to our claim that despite the challenges of another difficult year in our nation and globally, it was a very good year at the Seminary in so many ways, and we thank God for it!
