Ramblings on museums, education, history, politics, current events, with a dash of kittens and real life
"...but then history does not only consist of documents."
- John Lukacs
First, there is the exhaustion.
Because sometimes things were very frustrating.
But then came a sense of accomplishment.
It makes me feel a bit like singing.
And dancing around in circles.
And maybe a maniacal cackle here and there.
Because, come this Saturday, I will magically transform from a lowly student to a real, grown up, Museum Professional. Who likes Disney.
I'm writing the dedication and acknowledgement pages for my thesis, and I'm pretty sure that both Diet Coke and Aleve need to go in here somewhere. Yup.
If a potential grantor offers you sheep testicles, you should eat them.
Our exhibit meeting went FOUR HOURS tonight. It was all important things, and we were actually really on task, there was just a ton of stuff to get done. I, of course, made the mistake of not eating before I went since I was at the gym right before, and needless to say by the end I was not a happy camper. The big thing was choosing what photographs we want to use in our exhibit. Then we measured them versus our walls, and narrowed down some more. Then we actually tried to come up with layouts for each wall, and narrowed down again.
We also talked about the overall mood of the exhibition, including fonts and colors for the walls. It would be nice if we had a really nice pantone booklet, but unfortunately we only have one for our whole class and it is fairly small.
I also just spent the last two hours making a digital mock-up of each of our walls, so we could sort of see the spacing of things and the colors before we start pinning holes in our white model. I think it'll work well, if you're at all interested I can try to post some of that on here for you. I'm actually pretty proud of it. I even did math. MATH, you guys!
People breathing in your exhibit spaces will raise the humidity of the room, which could impact your objects.
where you come home, sit down, and just want to bang your head against something for awhile.
First, I would like to say that the group for my exhibit project is great. They are wonderful women, are extremely smart and talented, and I am really glad to be working with each of them. I got a little irritated during our meeting this afternoon, but once I reminded myself that I was frustrated with the situation and not them I was fine. They are awesome.
Our exhibit project keeps running into roadblocks, and while the other groups are already forming outlines and design ideas, we've scrapped our second concept and are searching for a new one. The difficulty is that we were assigned an exhibit that utilizes the photographs of a former professor/museum staff member who passed away last fall. He has some great pictures, but we are feeling like we should do more than an art exhibit.
The problem is, any time we move away from simply highlighting his photography (which his wife, daughter, and our professor have all suggested we do) using his photos becomes a constraint rather than a benefit. The focus shifts, and we are struggling with how to use his photographs and still tell a worthwhile story. Our initial idea was looking at Main Street (through his lens) and examining the different changes that have occurred. This didn't seem like a lively enough topic; no real debate, and how would it be any different than something you'd see in any historical society?
So, we shifted to talking about the impact baseball's national popularity has had on the commercial aspect of main street. We know that there was a lot of turnover, especially in the '90's, but are having a hard time pinning down any legit sources that tell us why. I'm tapping into my friends at the HoF, but in the meantime we're looking to see if there is a separate, non-main st. topic that we missed. Other current possibilities are the workshops he taught, or the lake that the village is built around.
Got home today and was just one big ball of stress. I seriously contemplated eating the microwave cake cup thing my housemate bought me for Christmas, but decided to be good and went to the gym instead. Ran, lifted, did a little bit of barre work and am feeling better. Then, instead of eating the cake, I had a salad, some peas, the rest of an apple turkey sausage i grilled up, and okay now I'm eating some chocolate but only a little handful of semi-sweet morsels instead of the big cup o' cake thing. Also I opened my last bottle of my favorite wine, which I can only buy in Iowa, but it was that sort of a night guys.
Okay. I am going to keep eating my chocolate, finish my glass of wine, read a book nobody told me to and I am sure that tomorrow, I'll be feeling less like this:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- 450 Fort Knox soldiers will spend the next 9 months in Kuwait. Attending the deployment ceremony was a group of men who know all too well about the sacrifices these soldiers are about to make.
While the sweet sound of the Star Spangled Banner plays and the American flag waves in the background these families contemplate what life will be like for the better part of the next year.
Monique Tevaga's husband is deploying, "Its reality setting in. He's ready to leave. The kids are realizing this."
Lt. Eric Tevaga will leave his wife and 3 boys.
"It's a lot of strain on the family but it's a sacrifice that they're willing to make," he said.
"The primary mission of the battalion is going to be doing construction throughout Kuwait but also possibly supporting forces that are forward deployed into Afghanistan," said Col. John Lloyd.
The 19th Engineer Battalion has a long and distinguished history, founded in 1933 with deployments during World War II and Vietnam. Dressed in red, members of the battalion who served in Vietnam came out to show their support.
David Ward served in Vietnam, "When I went overseas I had a pregnant wife, a child was born when I was overseas, I didn't' see him for 7 months."
Bringing back a flood of emotions and memories...
"The things that these soldiers give up they need us here to support them," said Keith Dilworth.
This will be the 19th Engineer Battalion's fourth deployment since being reactivated at Fort Knox in 2005, deploying to Iraq once, Afghanistan twice.
"We love our country. We're proud of dad, my husband, and what he's willing to do," said Tevaga.

Purple used as a color of beauty and femininity.
It's certainly pretty on these Princesses.These days, some cultures see purple as a feminine color, perhaps the most feminine color, other than pink. Then again, it's not always the same kind of femininity as pink. This is seen often as the more "graceful" and "mature" color, while pink often is the more "sweet" and "girly" color. But not always. Now even though this color can be worn by girls of any age, older feminine women are more likely to wear this color long after they stopped wearing pink. So you could say Princesses Prefer Pink, but a Proper Lady prefers violet. This also tends to be a popular color among some Mary Sues. A Sister Trope to Pink Means Feminine (and can double it with colors like fuchsia). Compare Purple Is Pimp (and can overlap if the wearer is an Action Girl, but still in elegant clothes), Purple Eyes, Princess Phase, Purple Is Pink On Steroids.

We purchased these shades to keep our living room cool while preserving the view. It has a southwestern exposure and really got hot. These shades keep the room cool and we can still see our view. It's great! I thought I would have to use a valance to cover the roller because I thought it would be unattractive. I was wrong. I am not going to cover them after all. They look very sharp.

This is my second 'solar shade'. The first I ordered from a curtain company. This Bali solar blind is extremely well made - MUCH better quality than the other I'd purchased. I ordered the Lucence 5% openness. It is at my kitchen window on the south side of the house and what a difference it makes with the heat

I bought a 20x32 piece of acrylic (plastic) to go over my 20 x 30 poster grid and drew out the entire lab on the third floor of the Trouble in Freesboro adventure. I printed out all of the paper minis for the encounter, including laser turrets. I had updated the character sheets to surprise the players -- they had leveled up at the end of the last session. Snacks and drinks were laid out, the dry erase board for tracking initiative was ready, and everybody's place setting was prepped -- pencil, dice, character sheet, character mini, and drinking glass.
And only two of the five showed up.
I am bummed. I'll get over it, but the sting is still there right now.

Genome sequence of 90 chickpea lines decoded
- Details
- Category: Science
02 Feb 2013
HYDERABAD, India—In a scientific breakthrough that promises improved grain yields and quality, greater drought tolerance and disease resistance, and enhanced genetic diversity, a global research team has completed high-quality sequencing of not one but 90 genomes of chickpea or garbanzo.
Nature Biotechnology, the highest ranked journal in biotechnology, featured the reference genome of the CDC Frontier chickpea variety and genome sequence of 90 cultivated and wild genotypes from 10 different countries, as an online publication on January 27.
The paper provides a map of the structure and functions of the genes that define the chickpea plant. It also reveals clues on how the sequence can be useful to crop improvement for sustainable and resilient food production toward improved livelihoods of smallholder farmers, particularly in marginal environments of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
The research milestone was the result of years of genome analysis by the International Chickpea Genome Sequencing Consortium (ICGSC), led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (Icrisat) headquartered in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, involving 49 scientists from 23 organizations in 10 countries. Icrisat is a member of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Consortium.
The global research partnership succeeded in identifying an estimated 28,269 genes of chickpea after sequencing CDC Frontier, a kabuli (large-seeded) chickpea variety. Re-sequencing of additional 90 genotypes provided millions of genetic markers and low diversity genome regions that may be used in the development of superior varieties with enhanced drought tolerance and disease resistance.
This will help chickpea farmers become more resilient to emerging challenges brought about by the threat of climate change. The genome map can also be used to harness genetic diversity by broadening the genetic base of cultivated chickpea gene pool.
Chickpea is the second-largest cultivated grain food legume in the world, grown in about 11.5 million hectares mostly by resource-poor farmers in the semi-arid tropics.
The highly nutritious, drought-tolerant chickpea contributes to income generation and improved livelihoods of smallholder farmers in African countries like Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya, and is crucial to the food security in India (being the largest producer, consumer and importer of the crop).
Chickpea is also an important component of the pulse industry in Australia, Canada and the US.
"Icrisat and its partners have once again demonstrated the power of productive partnerships by achieving this breakthrough in legume genomics," says Icrisat Director General Dr. William Dar. "Under the CGIAR Research Program [CRP] on Grain Legumes led by Icrisat, along with other CGIAR Consortium members and program as well as national partners, genome sequencing will play a crucial role in speeding up the development of improved varieties for smallholder farmer crops such as chickpea."
"In the face of the growing global hunger and poverty amid the threat of climate change, the chickpea genome sequence will facilitate the development of superior varieties that will generate more income and help extricate vulnerable dryland communities out of poverty and hunger for good, particularly those in the drylands of Asia and sub-Africa for whom Icrisat and our partners are working," Dr. Dar adds.
"Genetic diversity, an important prerequisite for crop improvement, is very limited and has been a serious constraint for chickpea improvement. This study will provide not only access to 'good genes' to speed up breeding, but also to genomic regions that will bring genetic diversity back from landraces or wild species to breeding lines," explains Dr. Rajeev Varshney, coordinator of ICGSC and director of the Center of Excellence in Genomics at Icrisat.
"At the moment, it takes four to eight years to breed a new chickpea variety. This genome sequence could reduce to half the time to breed for a new variety with market-preferred traits," he adds.
Highlighting the importance of the research, renowned agricultural scientist Prof. MS Swaminathan, member of Indian Parliament, says, "Chickpea occupies a pride of place in the struggle against protein hunger. In spite of its importance to human nutrition and farmers' livelihoods, scientific attention to this crop using frontier technologies has been rather limited.
"It is in this context that I would like to compliment the excellent scientific work done by Rajeev Varshney of Icrisat and his colleagues in developing a high-quality genome sequence of chickpea. I am confident that the knowledge provided by this study will help accelerate the improvement of this crop through marker-assisted breeding."

Lulu is a reversible moebius cowl that is deeper and narrower than most moebius scarves or cowls, so that it can be worn in one layer around the neck or up over the head like a hood. It starts with Cat Bordhi's moebius cast on and moves out from there in a reversible geometric stitch to a welted edge with an I-cord bind off. Lulu is made in a plied, lofty, Aran weight merino for softness, stitch definition, and squishable warmth. It is very quick to knit, and the stitch pattern is easy to read and memorize, making Lulu a great portable project. Both charted and written instructions are provided, as well as a link to Cat Bordhi's moebius cast on tutorial.
Because of the stitch change at the end of each round, you can alternate skeins every row if using a hand dyed yarn, and the line blends with the adjacent knit column.

Silica Gel from your local arts and crafts store works 1000000xxxx better than rice.
I hope that dumb *** is not Asian. What the **** does rice do? It's doesn't suck the moisture. What is next? put the iphone is the dryer for 5 mins. SO STUPID
i've tried this b4, it actually does work, mind you it was with a LG flip phone....
Its real...rice works. Of course dunking your phone in 99%-100% alcohol makes it work even better. This fixed my phone from having water splotches under the screen to like new condition. Well, i used silica gel, which acts the same way as rice but faster and stronger. It essentially sucks the moisture out of the phone, which could normally take months to dry out via evaporation whereas a few days in rice/silica gel will do the trick. The iso alcohol is good for removing trapped minerals left by water that could cause further corrosion of internal parts or block functions.
This is the traditional method used in Singapore whenever any phone gets wet
Exactly what I was thinking.... But about u, not the rice trick.
Have u read any of the responses in this thread?
Do u understand what rice is? And what it does? (not talking about the rice u get at Panda Express)
How About Fried Rice? Can Put My iPhone Into A Plate Of Fried Rice?
The starchy rice soaks up the moisture
so if that happens then whats with this, I thought it was waterproof
This video shows it different
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_BBfossFM]YouTube - iPhone 4 underwater test[/ame]
I took the logic board out and charger port and put them in the rice the lcd seemed fine and it worked wonders. Now since the place I work at fixes water damaged phones... We just use alcohol and a electric toothbrush and a ultra sonic cleaner. We only get 3 out of 10 phones that we can't revive.
My uncle tossed me in the pool w my 3g. 3 days in a bag of rice and it was working as good as new. All its doing is absorbing the moisture. You know this isn't gonna fix everyones phone, but its better then getting mad and not doing anything.
this is an old technique but very very effective.. just c that the phone is covered entirely in rice... works on any phone that had decided to go for a swim...
Rice is a natural dessicant, just like those silica gel "do not eat" packets, but not quite as effective. It will help the phone dry out faster. It works.
Correlation does not imply causation
I would believe that the quicker you turn an electrical device off and remove the water, the lest damage you will do to the advise. I think the big saver is to....wait! Water naturally evaporates. I think the best advise would be to make sure the power is off, remove as much water is possible and then wait...place the device in the dryest room you have, particularly a air conditioned room. wait till you think the device is completely dry then wait some more...and ur device will be fine. Rice is a myth because rice can only suck up moisture if it comes in contact with it...meaning the outside. Whereas all the delicate parts are on the inside. This seems to be a ploy for you to send them your devices more than anything else.
I wouldve used this method, but back when I dropped my first iPhone I just had AppleCare replace it. No strips to check for water damage.

President Obama's call for an extension of a payroll tax cut could upend the political dynamics in Congress heading into the fall, as Democrats adopt a trademark Republican tactic: warning against a looming tax hike.
With the economic recovery stalled, the Obama administration is pushing aggressively to keep in place the payroll tax holiday that was enacted as part of the bipartisan tax deal Congress passed in December.

Benefits of Marathon Training
You'd think someone who completed a marathon would rave about the joy of running, but this runner admitted she still isn't a big fan. What she did like about training for the race was that it made her pay attention to herself.
"I was able to give myself some 'me time.' Training gave me the chance to take care of myself: I was never sick and felt healthier than ever."
Running several miles a week also forced her to improve her diet. "I ate healthier," she said. "I watched my diet to make sure I drank enough water and ate the right carbohydrates, like whole grains and bananas." She cut out all junk food -- everything from fast food to soda.
Another benefit of marathon training: getting more sleep. "Every time I worked out I slept like a baby!" Hussa said. "I actually missed practice runs on Saturday mornings because I didn't want to get out of bed."

Surrounded by monkeys swinging from treetop to treetop, watching the waves crash in on the coastline of Nicaragua is an amazing time for reflection. Are you a dreamer or a doer?
It takes courage to bridge the gap between dreams and reality. Fear widens the gap. It has been a longtime dream of mine to bring likeminded people together at an amazing destination to experience growth, bonding and transformation. It has only taken this long, because of fear; fear no one would come, fear I would not be a good enough teacher and leader.
Inside each one of you is some kind of dream, some kind of desire to be happy, healthy and change the world in some way. Perhaps you dream of travel, starting a business, helping other people, cleaning up your neighborhood, having a loving relationship, peace in your heart, climbing a mountain, living sober, having children, adopting children, teaching yoga or leading a yoga retreat in a far away land.
Whatever your dream is, know that father time waits for no one. What better time than now? Dig into the recesses of your heart and remember a time when you were taught to believe in dreams and fairytales. Then close your eyes and ask what if dreams do come true? The only thing separating you from your dreams is Courage. Fear is like a deep, dark ravine that keeps you stuck in your current life situation. The ravine is an illusion. Simply find the courage to move forward and you will see it is not a hole, but a shadow. The closer you get, the more it disappears.
You don't need to make crazy rash moves, just find your voice and move slowly with courage in the direction of your dreams. Courage bridges the gap. Never stop being dreamer, just start being a doer.
Much and love gratitude to everyone who has been my friend and teacher encouraging me to encourage others. Being Happy Healthy and Fit means having Courage to turn your dreams into reality.

Citrus-Grilled Turkey Breast
Photo: Iain Bagwell; Styling: Lydia Degaris Pursell
To prevent a top-heavy turkey breast from tilting onto its side, use kitchen shears to trim the bony lower portion of the rib cage--just enough to level the underside of the breast so it rests securely in the pan or on the grill.
Yield: Makes 6 servings
More From Southern Living
Recipe Time
Hands On:
40 Minutes
Total: 3 Hours, 40 Minutes
- 1 (5- to 6-lb.) skin-on, bone-in turkey breast
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1. Let turkey breast stand at room temperature 30 minutes; rinse with cold water, and pat turkey dry.
- 2. Stir together parsley, next 4 ingredients, and 1 tsp. salt. Loosen and lift skin from turkey without totally detaching skin, and rub parsley mixture under skin. Replace skin. Sprinkle cavity with 1/2 tsp. salt; rub into cavity. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tsp. salt on skin; rub into skin.
- 3. Light 1 side of grill, heating to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat; leave other side unlit. Place turkey over lit side, and grill, without grill lid, 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer turkey to unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 165°. Remove from heat, and let stand 30 minutes before slicing.

Cowboys, Cuban blackmail and Caligulan orgies: Hollywood's politics have always been crazy
Today, I'm launching a new book called Citizen Hollywood – a history of how the movie makers have defined America's politics for better, worse and slightly worse than awful.
It can be read as an encyclopaedia of egos, a collection of narcissists and the crazy things they believe in. For instance, there's Sean Penn's outspoken defence of Argentina's right to liberate the Falkland Islands from the Falkland Islanders. Shirley MacLaine's admiration for Maoist China, which she appears to have understood to have been like a giant Method acting class. Or else there's Hollywood's peculiar relationship with Cuba. Stars who visit the socialist paradise are likely to be wined, dined, offered sex and then secretly filmed by the security services. So claimed one defector, who said that when the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar was confronted with graphic evidence of his homosexuality and a threat of blackmail, he just laughed. "Everybody already knows I'm gay," Pedro said. "So go right ahead! Knock yourselves out!"
Freaky politics aside, I do have an important point to make with this book. Hollywood has become an integral part of US politics, providing endorsements, money and access to cultural influence. Most importantly, it's contributed towards America's crippling partisanship with its cult of archetypes – encouraging Democrats to see themselves as liberal supermen and Republicans as righteous cowboys. The Republicans-as-cowboys myth, for example, was invented by Richard Nixon. In 1969, his pollster told him that he was very popular among John Wayne fans, so he cultivated a friendship with The Duke that reconfigured the GOP as the party of True Grit. Don't believe me? It's all there in chapter six…
Does contemporary Hollywood overtly push its liberal-leaning politics through its movies? Yes and no. Subconsciously it exhibits a bias, because people who live in a cultural bubble often don't realise that they their prejudices are shining through. But, typically, Hollywood will only go as far to the Left as the public is prepared to follow. Its bottom line is the bottom line: profitability comes first and if a film is too liberal to sell, the "suits" won't make it. A scriptwriter I interviewed told me that he was once tasked with writing a romance movie set during the Iraq War. He submitted an anti-war script in which the boy leaves the army for the girl. The producers rejected it. At a development meeting, the writer demanded to know their reasons – presuming that their conservative politics had clouded their judgement. Instead, they told him: "We turned down your script because we already have an antiwar movie in production." If he wanted to write a pro-war one, they added, the studio would be very happy to finance it.
Culture shapes political ideology every bit as much as economics. Therefore, given Hollywood's enormous influence over the Western psyche, study of film and film making ought to be every bit as important as the social sciences. It's also a lot more fun – a trip to an American Xanadu or, as Gore Vidal called it, a Disneyland of perversion. Mahola Dargis describes MGM in the 1920s as Sin City:
At its zenith, the MGM lot was 167 acres big … with 30 soundstages, phony jungles and a real zoo that housed the studio's other magnificent beast, the lion that roared before every film. There were gardens planted with French heather for Garbo and lilies for Shearer. There was a barbershop, a police force and a 24-hour commissary that served chicken soup (nine kosher hens for every three gallons of liquid). There was a house bookie, an opium den and, every Christmas Eve, remembered one employee, "an orgy that would have made Caligula feel at home." The studio did not employ a staff abortionist, however. For that service, its stars and contract players would travel across town to 20th Century Fox.
It was Heaven or Hell depending on your political outlook. Although the king of MGM, Louis B Mayer, was actually a solid Republican. Mayer became so close to Herbert Hoover that he was the first person invited to stay in the White House when Hoover won the presidency in 1928, and he felt at home enough to complain that the soup was unappetising. So why did the conservative Mayer tolerate such filth in his studio? Partly hypocrisy (Judy Garland recalled that the maker of so many "family friendly movies" would gently squeeze her adolescent breasts whenever they were alone) but also out of a recognition that whatever kept the stars happy kept the movies selling tickets and the money rolling in. The movie business has always been a business, and always will be. Its contemporary liberal ideals still come second to making a fast buck.

Reynolds, 20, died in an automobile accident Feb. 6 while returning to St. Olaf for second semester.
College Pastor Benson opened the service by asking attendees to, "Remember and give thanks to God for Meredith Reynolds." He cautioned against viewing the death as another accident to plague St. Olaf.
"Any time death strikes down a group of people its easy to let numbers become more important than names," Benson said. "We are not here to remember student death we are here to face our loss, share it together and commend Meredith to God."
President Christopher Thomforde's wife, Christine, spoke in his place due to illness. She remembered calling Reynolds father after hearing about Merediths death to console him. He said to her, "The family gathered to send her on her way; we all kissed Meredith goodbye and half an hour later she was in heaven."
Reynolds roommate Melissa Kohnke '03 and Seth Patterson '02 spoke on her behalf. They struggled to convey their sentiments about their relationships with her. "What an amazing friend and human being she was. No words can release them. I am one of many that love Meredith," said Patterson.
They sent out an e-mail to friends of Reynolds asking for their input: "What did Meredith teach you?" Many responses were received eliciting an array of emotions, "She taught me friendship was not just a title She had passion for life and gave me patience She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear She taught me to love life Meredith taught me how to live again, she gave everything she had."
Rita Glazebrook, chair of the nursing department, recalled Reynolds spirited personality and drive to help others. "She had a zest for life, strong in faith, and learned to be in service of others." Reynolds work in the nursing department and assistance on a research project helped develop a meaningful teacher-student relationship with Glazebrook.
Glazebrook verbalized the feelings of many struggling with losing Reynolds. "It's hard to understand why such a terribly bad thing happened to such a great person."
Glazebrook recited from Reynolds entrance application to St. Olaf. Her own words demonstrate the compassionate person she was: "I view learning as never-ending. I value every experience that can increase my exposure."
"Meredith Reynolds will be missed by many, forgotten by none," said Glazebrook in closing. "I for one feel truly blessed to have been given that opportunity."
Reynolds experience of life increased during Interim, which she spent in Rome. Bill Poehlmann, associate professor of religion, used emotional words to express his sorrow over Reynolds death. The Interim group had gotten together and made a commemorative book including pictures and writing for Reynolds family.
Afterwards, friends and family were encouraged to share their memories and stories of Reynolds. Lindsey Leclaire '03 hadn't seen her since Christmas break, but received an e-mail from Reynolds saying she was a bit homesick. "I sent her an e mail saying Ill see you when you get home and now I guess Ill see her when we get home" said Leclaire pointing towards the sky.
Emily Judd '03 had gotten to know Reynolds during the Interim trip to Rome. She was most thankful for getting to say goodbye. "When parting on the escalator I wished her a safe trip home and gave her a hug. I'm glad that I got to say an appropriate goodbye to her," said Judd.
Reynolds father, Charles, closed the sharing of memories by comparing her life to an unfinished clay pot. "All of us feel so blessed that Meredith was our daughter and to share her with each of you" he said. "She transformed from an unfinished clay pot into a wonderful young woman."
A photo slide show followed, characterizing Reynolds spirit and joy of life.
Dean of Students Greg Kneser and Associate College Pastor Jennifer Koenig closed with prayers for Reynolds, her family, hometown community, and the community spirit of St. Olaf. A reception in the Heritage Room followed for friends and family to meet and heal.
Reynolds, 20, died on Feb. 6 in an automobile accident eight miles north of Ada, Minn. She was returning to school with Andrea Martin '05 following Interim break. The accident occurred around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Norman County Road 3 and Highway 9, just 20 minutes after the students had left Crookston.
According to the Minnesota State Highway Patrol, Jennie Mason, 22, of Beltrami, Minn. was driving a 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada east on County Road 3 and, after allegedly running a stop sign, broadsided the 1990 Mazda 626 in which Reynolds was a passenger. Reynolds died at the scene.
Martin, the driver of the Mazda, suffered minor injuries. She was treated and released by Bridges Medical Services in Ada.
Neither of Masons two children, who were in the car at the time of the accident, were hurt. The State Highway Patrol Authorities are investigating the crash.

'Oblivion': Sci-fi eye candy doesn't deliver
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
Tom Cruise turns 51 this year, but the movie star seems very insistent on continuing to play 35-year-olds who are somehow obliged to save the world. He also has a substantial investment in having his world-saving 35-year-olds do their duty in a very big, if not ridiculously hyperbolic way. Sometimes this pays off: "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" was, while essentially inane, exhilaratingly overstuffed with stunning action sequences. Now Cruise returns to the sci-fi genre after an over half-decade long hiatus--as you may recall, his collaborations with Steven Spielberg, 2005's "War of the Worlds" and 2002's "Minority Report" were both better than decent exercises in the fantastic — with "Oblivion." Which is a mind-numbingly overstuffed disaster.
Co-written and directed by Joseph Kosinski (of "Tron: Legacy," um, fame),
who's also here adapting a graphic novel he co-created (I don't want this to be
the case but this sort of thing is starting to become a pretty sure indicator of
major wankage), "Oblivion" stars Cruise as, like the song says, some guy in the
sky. No, really. His character, Jack, lives in a very deluxe albeit kinda
sterile house on a platform in the clouds. Because Earth is no longer habitable,
on account of the moon having been blown up by alien, which caused massive
flooding so that the entire United States looks like a continuation of the
punchline of "Planet of The Apes." Jack is in charge of repairing drones,
incredible malevolent robots that patrol the surface wasteland wiping out stray
aliens who are trying to demolish the giant machines storing water to be
transported to humanity's new home on a moon of Saturn.
Catch all that? It's pretty complicated, but wait, there's more: Jack is haunted by dreams of a past he's too young to have lived through, and of a woman who is not his platform-home helpmeet Victoria, with whom he has an intriguingly formal relationship. (Andrea Riseborough, who's probably capable of more than the evocation of Emily Blunt this movie calls for, plays this role.) Victoria's very by-the-book with respect to Jack's surface missions, while Jack himself is beginning to suspect that the chipper mission commander on the other end of Victoria's console isn't being entirely up front. Soon he finds out the ostensibly alien "scavengers" are possibly ... human. (Not just human, it transpires; these sentient beings are led by Morgan Freeman!) And around the same time the woman of Jack's dreams, played by Olga Kurylenko, literally materializes. And Jack brings her up to the house.
The opportunity for Noel-Coward-in-outer-space sex comedy afforded by this
awkward situation is of course completely ignored by this colossally humorless
movie. "Oblivion" has amazing state-of-the-art special effects, remarkable
natural landscapes (large parts of it were shot in majestic Iceland), and
bigger-than-bigger-than life action. It also has this weird compulsion to be
something more than a big science-fiction movie. It wants to be EVERY big
science-fiction movie. You'll recognize tropes and plot points and visual cues
from "2001: A Space Odyssey," "The Matrix," "Star Wars" and many more. What's missing, however,
is any sense of joy, of awe, of playfulness. It's not interested in telling a
story, and it's transparently bored by its own end-of-the-world trollings. No,
all "Oblivion" wants is one long "Whoa" from the viewer; it doesn't demand
engagement, merely the most abject of surrender. It's like a body builder
flexing his muscles non-stop. A couple of poses and turns are pretty impressive,
sure. But a half-hour's worth might have you asking, "That all you got?"

Despite several efforts to outrun deputies, a man suspected of stealing a Mustang has been arrested in Pinal County.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office said deputies tried to stop the vehicle, reported stolen out of Apache Junction, about 8:15 p.m. Monday near Alameda and Kings Ranch Road in Gold Canyon. But the driver sped off.
When the suspect realized he was going down a dead end road, he made a U-turn and drove head-on toward the deputy's vehicle.
The deputy swerved and the suspect's car missed the patrol vehicle by inches, PCSO said.
Deputies deployed two sets of stop sticks, but the driver turned westbound onto U.S. 60 and was clocked at nearly 100 mph as he sped through stop signs and red lights, according to PCSO.
The car crashed through a closed gate in the 1000 block of East Junction in Apache Junction and came to a stop.
The driver, Duane Michael Parks, 36, of Apache Junction, and a woman in the passenger seat, Melissa Scala, 20, of Mesa, ran from the scene, but Scala was quickly caught.
Deputies found a receipt for a scrap metal sale earlier in the day that had Parks' Arizona Identification Card on it. Authorities found him at his home, two miles away, with marijuana and a marijuana pipe.
PCSO said when a deputy tried to put Parks in a patrol car, he again tried to get away. He was forced to the ground until he complied.
Parks was booked into the Pinal County Jail for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, theft of means of transportation, felony flight, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, charges of criminal damage and leaving the scene of the accident.

"The final decision is the governor's, but we do need to have a public policy discussion here."
But Anderegg said the cost estimate relied on "slightly disingenuous accounting," since the federal dollars cannot last, given the national debt burden.

"I think this is a bad check in bad faith that we're being expected to follow," he said. "This is a step forward toward socialized medicine."
Rep. Jon Stanard, R-St. George, supported Anderegg's bill rejecting the Medicaid dollars, because he said the Legislature needs to make its wishes known.
"If we do not pass this bill out tonight, as a Legislature, we are completely delegating to the governor," he said. "This is our only ability, as a Legislature, to assert our views."
Hilman said her group and others will fight Anderegg's bill with everything they have as it goes to the House floor.
"I'm confident we can fight this in the House and what we're going to lean on are the same arguments we tried to make here," she said. "We need to slow down and look at the [data] and we need a deliberate process."

Four-blade prop for Metro II
Hartzell has introduced a four-bladed aluminum propeller conversion for the Fairchild Metro II that the company said reduces sound levels by 10 to 12 dBA, providing a quieter cabin and lower external noise. The diameter of the new prop system is reduced by five inches from that of the original three-blade system. An "advanced airfoil configuration" was also applied to the new blades, said Hartzell.
The new 97-in.-diameter blades are designed to reduce maintenance and operating costs "through the reduction in propeller-blade erosion from the shorter diameter and subsequently greater ground clearance," said Hartzell. Also, the wide-chord design was specifically developed and tested to "provide more generous blade repair limits than the standard three-blade prop," and the new blades eliminate the hub replacement compliance costs associated with AD 96-18-14.
Uninstalled list price for a kit is $47,500 per aircraft. In addition to a set of the new blades, the kit contains polished spinners and de-icing equipment. Hartzell's warranty covers parts and labor for three years or 1,000 hr. There are nearly 200 Metro IIs in service.

[…] "…Build a great, big, large fence — 150 or 100 mile long — put all the lesbians in there. Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified so they can't get out, feed em, and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out…" — Raw Story
